I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 222 : 203. Don’t chicken out.
The Goddess, with a mysterious crescent moon hanging behind her back, was enveloped by her Spiritual Clothes as her Divine Body swept up into a long black-gold skirt. With each step she descended the Divine Rank, an increasingly vast Divine Pressure rippled out in waves.
The indifferent killing intent had just begun to surge like waves toward that human ant, but after she had taken only a few steps, her footsteps suddenly halted.
"Hmm?"
Dragon God's True Name was a seal of information, a sphere of light buried deep within Xia Feng's soul. As the thought to completely unseal it took hold, the sphere burst apart, countless gleaming golden chains of information swiftly wrapping around his Spiritual Body.
Xia Feng unexpectedly discovered that among these information chains were many tips on how to deal with certain deities, for instance, encountering the Black Moon Goddess could be summed up as—don't cower, just do it.
Originally, the charges against the Saint Heir were falsely fabricated, and Zorav hadn't expected Xia Feng to actually commit a heinous crime, although he did not know the specifics. But right now, that didn't matter much.
He glanced at Xia Feng, who stood in the distance, seemingly petrified with fear, shook his head with a smile, and turned back to respectfully and deeply say, "Revered Goddess, although this man's sins are immense, I implore you to leave a wisp of his soul so that I can turn him into a Puppet. There are many matters in the Present Realm that still require his testimony."

But the Black Moon Goddess had no time to bother with Zorav. She was highly strung, her gaze fixed intently on the man in white.
"This aura..." She sensed a very ancient and terrifying presence emanating from the man in white. It was familiar yet unfamiliar to her, a presence she had not seen for tens of thousands of years.
Had it not been for this moment, she might have completely forgotten the master of this aura, a period in her life filled with humiliation and even shame. With the emergence of this presence, the dark memories from the abyss flooded back.
But this couldn't be possible... The Dragon God was sealed and slumbering beneath the World Tree; it was impossible for His believers to walk the earth.
Perhaps it was some similar aura or some kind of fear-inducing Illusion Technique? The Black Moon Goddess's eyes grew colder. This ant had repeatedly challenged her bottom line; death was no longer the best punishment for him—it was better for him to live a life worse than death!
"Hum!!!"
However, as the Black Moon Goddess entertained her suspicions for a fleeting moment, the information chains encircling Xia Feng's Spiritual Body burst forth from his flesh. Accompanied by a distant, bell-like, and resounding dragon's cry, an ancient desolate aura shot straight into the dark starry firmament!
Divine Pressure swept across, and Xia Feng, in a white robe, hovered in mid-air. His right hand rested on the hilt of the blood knife at his waist, and the space behind him was as dark as an ink abyss, resembling a huge and terrifying Evil Beast coiling around him. An overwhelming Evil Power, as if the galaxy itself was capsizing, pierced through countless timelines and descended upon the earth.
Black Moon Goddess: "!!!!"
Zorav: "????"
The Black Moon Goddess had just thought it to be a fear-based Illusion Technique and breathed a sigh of relief, but now her heart leaped to her throat once again. This presence... it couldn't be more real! It was definitely not an illusion! This was a divine miracle caused by the True Name of the Dragon God!
Her gaze faltered slightly, and involuntary terror and alarm surged within her. Could this fellow be... an emissary of the Dragon God?
No, that wasn't right. The Dragon God would have no emissary, but this human must have a close connection with the Dragon God.
On this thought, the Black Moon Goddess forcefully suppressed the trembling fear in her heart, her eyes suddenly icy cold. The tide-like murderous intent blossomed in her eyes like a tsunami ready to break. Now, with the Dragon God Empress sealed, she truly did not believe that if she killed the Dragon God's believer, the mother dragon could do anything to her!
Having been humiliated by that maternal dragon for so many years, it was time to reclaim some interest!
Xia Feng instantly sensed the breath of death about to descend and felt a slight shock in his heart. Was his True Name actually useless?
But at that moment, from the darkness behind Xia Feng, a majestic and pale vertical pupil slowly opened, looking down indifferently upon the Black Moon Goddess—
It was a gaze of divine authority, touched with a gentle maternal quality, yet it also resembled a blood-drenched whip of divinity, violently lashing down and striking the curved buttocks of the Black Moon Goddess—
Fear caused his scalp to tingle—the murderous gaze of the Black Moon Goddess instantly shrank into pinpoints of stars, and the intent to kill in her eyes quickly dissipated into a scattered and fearful uncertainty. She wavered, undecided.
At the same time, when Zorav saw a strange aura of divinity suddenly emanate from behind Xia Feng, and saw the opening of a pale vertical pupil, he was utterly flabbergasted. What was this situation? Did Xia Feng actually have a deity, an Evil God, supporting him from behind?
Was this guy really damn related to the Evil God? Zorav wondered with a mix of shock and suspicion.
But thankfully, he remembered the corresponding characteristics of all the well-known and powerful Evil Gods, and the pale vertical pupil before him clearly did not match any of them; it must be a lesser deity.
Noticing the Black Moon Goddess retracting her Divine Pressure, Xia Feng knew he was secure and he let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
He discovered that even after revealing his True Name, the goddess still wanted to kill him, but it seemed that out of fear, she ultimately gave up.
It appeared that the Black Moon Goddess did not hold the Dragon God in very high regard...
As the pale vertical pupil closed and vanished, Xia Feng landed back on the ground, and the scene fell into a brief silence.
Seeing the goddess remain silent, Xia Feng was in no rush, quietly waiting.
After a long while,
"Human, very well, I concede that you have won." The ethereal and majestic Divine Sound echoed through the space, her divine gaze looking down upon him from above, commanding, "Speak then, who exactly are you?"
The Black Moon Goddess didn't feel that she was scared; she was just curious about the current state of the mother dragon and how it had somehow come into contact with the Present Realm. Could it be awakening? She was filled with a great deal of confusion, and now, it was a good opportunity to spare this evil human's life, to probe the true strength of the Dragon God.
Hearing the goddess admit that Xia Feng had won, Zorav's interested expression paused for a moment, What?
No, what had just happened? Zorav was somewhat lost. How had Xia Feng won? Wasn't the goddess about to kill this sinful evildoer?
He suddenly had a bad premonition. Wasn't the deity behind Xia Feng just a minor Evil God...
Right then, Xia Feng pointed at Zorav, revealing a friendly smile: "I am aware of the many confusions the goddess harbors, but may I suggest clearing away the bystanders before answering your questions?"
"After all, the secrets of the great deity behind me shouldn't be known by outsiders, and it's unfortunate that Judgment Chief Zorav knows and has seen too much..."
Zorav: "?!"
His scalp went numb, and he stiffly turned his head to look towards the Black Moon Goddess high above on the endless Divine Rank.
Fortunately, the goddess was just and loving; she treated her believers like her own offspring and would never kill capriciously.
"Zorav is my believer. If his faith is devout and he does not commit evil, it is my duty as his Divine Lord to protect his life."
The majestic and calm Divine Sound of the Black Moon Goddess echoed throughout the space, warming Zorav's heart instantly. The silly goddess...no, the goddess was rightfully one of the Empire's recognized righteous deities, displaying a true sense of divine responsibility.
Zorav glanced at Xia Feng not far away and chuckled lightly.
"But unfortunately, Zorav, you have committed the sins of bribery, bullying, framing, child abuse, corruption..."
As the indifferent Divine Sound of the Black Moon Goddess rose once again, images of Zorav's past deeds materialized behind his head, flashing by rapidly like slides in a projector.
"?!!" Zorav turned in confusion, his expression suddenly changing to one of shock and horror. Wait, it could be like this?!
