Chapter 942: Unexpected Savior



While Astoria's group was confronting the new threat known as the Gold-Horned Mutant Serpent, few noticed another person had quietly arrived in the sky.

However, the person only arrived for a brief moment before disappearing with a spatial shift. The person relocated to the collapsing mountain cave, which took the survivors of the Pure Moon Palace to hold up.

That person was none other than Vaan.

It hadn't been long since he returned to Pangea's side after settling matters with Valefor. The moment he did, he was immediately attracted by a desperate cry or plea for his help. At the same time, he could vaguely sense where the source of the sad voice was coming from. He had once experienced this sort of strange phenomenon before; it was something that originated from the power of faith.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, besides the first time, Vaan had not heard the voice of any believer or sensed their distress.

This was more evident when his soul reached half-step divine rank.

It was as if none of his believers had any problems that required them to pray for his divine intervention. He found this hard to believe, considering his ever-growing number of believers alongside the UN's expansion.

No matter how good the current conditions were in the UN, it was impossible for zero crime and injustice to exist. Wherever a society existed, order and chaos also existed hand in hand.

Even if there were no problems, wouldn't he be able to hear the prayers of his most devoted believers? Or were their faith too lacking for their prayers to reach him?

Vaan didn't think this was the case.

Although Vaan didn't walk the path of faith, he still benefited from its power and knew a thing or two about it.

After all, the infinitely small power of faith was constantly nourishing his soul due to his increasing followers. Thus, their lack of faith couldn't be the reason for his inability to hear his followers' prayers.

Furthermore, he didn't believe the reason was because he wasn't a divine soul yet, which might result in the ability being incomplete.

Otherwise, why would he hear the desperate prayers from someone so far out at the border of the Divine Serpent Empire and not anyone else's?

For that exact reason, Vaan couldn't help but investigate.

"T-That is Lord Vaan. We are finally saved," First Fairy Marina sighed with great relief after recognizing Vaan with the other Moon Fairies.

They had all seen his appearance in the image crystal back in the sect when news of the Heavenreacher spread to the Divine Serpent Empire.

Nevertheless, after the other sect members heard First Fairy Marina's words, they finally relaxed their anxious hearts as well. Not long after, the icy cave was filled with sad sobs as they poured out their repressed feelings.

The past week's experience had been a terrible ordeal. Everyone had thought they were

goners.

"Thank you, Lord Vaan... Thank you for coming to save us..."

Countless young ladies poured out their hearts with gratitude as tears flowed down their fair yet slightly malnourished cheeks.

"Lord Vaan... How did you find out about us? Did our... ninth sister reach out to you?" Eighth Fairy Pumpkin couldn't help but ask with doubt.

Although everyone had done their best to help their ninth sister escape to look for help, they still found it surprising that the rising overlord would come in person.

None of the Moon Fairies could imagine how desperately their ninth sister had searched to get the rising overlord's help. They couldn't help but think that their ninth sister might have worked the hardest during this period.

The mental burden of saving their sect must have been unimaginable.

Nevertheless, Vaan had no idea what they were talking about. He simply furrowed his brows and replied, "We will talk about this later."

Shortly after the Palace Mistress's life stabilized and the members of the Pure Moon Palace calmed down, he took everyone outside of the collapsed cave with a big spatial portal.

It only took a brief moment for everyone's view of the icy cave to be replaced by a vast open field filled with warm sunlight.

They had relocated to a nearby region in the Holy Knight Empire.

At the same time, the icy cave back in the snowy mountains completely collapsed under the absence of Vaan's spatial power.
