understand why the King of Curses, whom he had tried to persuade, and the avatar prepared by the Apostle of Pride were here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even amidst such confusion, there was one thing the Apostle realized clearly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This is dangerous.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That this situation was extremely perilous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this, the Apostle immediately moved his body backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splat—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apostle’s right hand, which had been grabbed by a black hand, was severed, and red blood splattered in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the pain of severing his own hand, the Apostle didn’t even blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, as if it were an opportunity, he threw the severed hand toward Seolrang and Nangwon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the arm where blood gushed out like mad, pure white flesh burst forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like a beam of light exploding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the rapidly growing flesh engulfed Seolrang and Nangwon nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the Apostle’s clever trick was crushed in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crackle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden flashes shot out like rays, mercilessly shredding the flesh and instantly reaching the Apostle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Apostle, blessed by the Great One, momentarily failed to track that speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to react, albeit belatedly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his body had already been flung away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body bounced like a ball, drawing a massive line across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, the Apostle’s body tore through trees and wrecked the forest,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And further—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It crashed right into the middle of a cliff, creating a massive crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apostle coughed up black blood, eyes wide in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Is it really this strong?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had known that the avatar form was powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that Seolrang would be this strong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he had felt a sense of danger moments ago was because of the King of Curses, whom he had seen as a threat—not the golden moon standing before him now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which is why—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This is ridiculous—’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apostle hurriedly tried to get up to prepare his next move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crunch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, buried in the cliff, he couldn't get up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because of the black hands that had appeared around the cliff—hands that hadn’t been there just a moment ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of hands brimming with curses and malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing them, the Apostle spewed flesh again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like before, flesh burst out from his severed arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crackkk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Argh—?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black hands that had already emerged grabbed the Apostle’s body tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t think you’ll walk away from this, scum.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abyssal Lord of Black Water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neck, Shoulders, chest, waist, pelvis, Legs, Knees—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every joint twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arms bent grotesquely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His neck was torn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His legs were crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His waist twisted at an impossible angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, the Apostle’s body was discarded on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black hands that had now completely covered the cliff smashed its edge and dropped it directly onto the Apostle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a heavy thud, the massive cliff\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Die—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was slammed down by Seolrang—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-!!!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dust scattered in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deafening noise reached all the way to Rosario.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tremendous uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, until now, Nangwon and Seolrang had been extremely careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t want Alon to discover their true selves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why they had engaged in childish hair-pulling fights up till now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, all their previous worries vanished as if they had never existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, protecting Alon—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was far more important than the possibility of being hated by him after revealing their true forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seolrang and Nangwon’s eyes were sunken in complete stillness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked toward the place where dust had risen thickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apostle’s figure visible in the dust could no longer be considered intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was not a single normal part left on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His limbs were grotesquely twisted, and more than half his neck had been torn off—his appearance was pitiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Covered entirely in grotesquely protruding white flesh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No longer human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in that moment, the Apostle twisted his lips into a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such a shame, such a shame—looks like I won’t be able to help him now~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apostle muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still, it seems I won’t be completely useless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He soon sneered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in an instant, pure white flesh began to engulf the area around Nangwon and Seolrang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could react,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flesh enclosed them completely, like forming a miniature arena between the Apostle and the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, the Apostle had his head ripped off by Seolrang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, even so, the Apostle looked at Seolrang as if amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s pointless. Even if you kill me, this won’t disappear. And you won’t be able to break through this flesh either. It’s... a little special.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"L—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, let us watch together, the glorious descent of the Great One! Watch—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sneer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happens to the one you tried so hard to protect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mocked arrogantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sun disappeared and the dark night fell, a strange sound echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alon looked up at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, the silent flesh of sin was making bizarre noises as it stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wriggling flesh seemed to signal the coming manifestation of sin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gripping his dizzy head, Alon tried to make sense of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……Below, the white beings are rampaging, killing the faithful, and above, sin is about to be born.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation wasn’t good, but it wasn’t the worst either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sin had been weakened to its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of that, he had already instructed Yutia to evacuate the faithful to the opposite side of where sin was to appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For how urgent the situation had been, he had done everything possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, Alon had made the best possible choices with the information he had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, the reason there was anxiety in his eyes now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was because of the sin that was about to manifest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sin was certainly weakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it appeared now, it would only have about one-fifth of its original power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alon knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew how absurdly unreasonable sin was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throb!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he thought that—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flesh that had been twisting violently stopped moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what appeared next—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A giant hand that covered the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hand so large it seemed it could easily cover half of Rosario, tearing through the air as it descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It all happened in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Alon could do anything, the hand pierced the ground, ignoring Rosario’s protective barrier as if it were nothing and slammed into the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KABOOOOM—!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, everything it touched began to return to nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pure white streets brushed by the giant fingers crumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plazas were crushed into ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temples collapsed with one swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a single attack—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was enough to bring an unstoppable calamity down upon the earth, reducing half of Rosario to rubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that sight, Alon—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the absurdity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the sheer existence of such a being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the giant hand slowly withdrew, a horrifying scream echoed throughout Rosario.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scream so dreadful, it drained the will to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with it, from the cocoon began to form a new, incomplete but massive shape, like a newborn life being conceived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alon hardened his resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sin had awakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘There’s only one chance.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why—he knew this moment was the opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"逆天 (Reverse Heaven).\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Alon's murmur,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The necklace around his neck began to emit a blue light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brilliant blue glow, like a blue moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the rooftop of the eastern temple, where most of the faithful had evacuated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aaaaaah—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sergius screamed faintly, looking over the scene of Rosario.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just one attack, half of Rosario was now gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But despite that, they had successfully dealt with the pure white beings pouring endlessly into the temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone sighed in relief at the fact they had survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resting faithful let out a hopeless sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘That’s just… unbelievable……’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sergius collapsed to his knees without realizing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resolve that had begun to kindle as they drove out the white beings was completely extinguished by what they had just witnessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s how overwhelming it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The irrationality that sin displayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his soul now gray and empty, Sergius simply stared blankly ahead—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he heard a small laugh and turned his head without thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There stood Yutia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yutia, smiling brightly as if this situation truly brought her joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her eyes, the Milky Way spread across the sky with the blue moon at its center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft red glow shimmered on her cheek, the same hue as her crimson eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on her lips bloomed only a radiant smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sight was so beautiful—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…And so completely alien.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half of Rosario had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a way, today could mark the beginning of Rosario’s end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in her eyes, surely, Rosario’s destruction alongside the Milky Way was reflected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet—she was smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More brightly than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Lady Yutia?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if bewitched, Sergius opened his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his call, Yutia turned with a smile and looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then her red lips moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sergius.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Y-Yes…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You asked me once, didn’t you? How a god is born.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her sudden question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was true that Sergius had once asked her that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had never received an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More accurately, Sergius hadn’t really expected one either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So why—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was the answer coming now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sergius simply stared at Yutia in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yutia looked into his eyes and said—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Pardon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right now. It’s being born.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an utterly blissful smile on her lips,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sergius turned his gaze to the sky and witnessed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wearing a twilight-hued coat that billowed under the moonlight—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emitting a radiance rivaling that of the goddess Sironia, standing nobly beneath the blue moon—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My god.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One man—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…The hope beneath countless eyes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marquis Palatio, bearing the goddess Sironia on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>",1659,"2026-06-02T12:43:45.412Z",1,"novelbin.me","52fc0236819898b6609c02be404c17f3150b77ea701a1e77b3a4607c8e8c8ef9","became-the-patron-of-villains-chapter-272","became-the-patron-of-villains-chapter-270",479,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecame-the-patron-of-villains-cover.jpg"]
