He Became the Only Ally of the Abandoned Warrior

"Finally!"

As the vortex of dark energy subsided, Linasien trembled with ecstasy.

"Finally, Lin is mine! He's all mine now, truly and completely!"

Her lower abdomen, now sealed, was swollen, as if cradling something precious. Stroking it lovingly, Linasien felt an intense maternal affection.

"Oh, my Lin. You're sleeping like a baby. Once all this is over, we'll live forever as the only lovers in this world."

Her madness was so overwhelming that no one could find the words to respond. Lucy and the rest of the hero's party were still in shock, black blood dripping from their mouths like a faucet, unable to process what had happened.

"Tiana… is this really what you wanted?"

Abyss shook her head in disbelief.

"You claimed it was for Lin, but you’ve only brought him more suffering."

Abyss regretted it deeply.

She should never have left the Demon King alone for so long. She should have resisted the timelines, even if it meant challenging the world's fate, to stay by her side during countless cycles of reincarnation. She regretted not doing so, even if it would have broken the endless loop.

Only now did she realize.

The Demon King had despaired and given up. Like the demon warriors, she too wanted to be with Lin.

However, to break free from the cycles of reincarnation, someone with the soul of the one she loved had to join the hero’s party and kill her. Watching Lin endure loneliness and suffering alone during this ordeal had made the Demon King despair, realizing that no one in this world could find true happiness.

So, she had given up everything, choosing destruction without any cause or justification.

"Justini!!!"

Abyss screamed at the goddess.

"What are you doing?! Are you just going to watch as this world is destroyed? This isn't right! Are you going to let a third party, neither the demon nor you, shatter this world?!"

The goddess silently endured Abyss’s accusation, her expression pained.

“It’s pointless,” Linasien sneered at Abyss, drawing forth her power. "You’re all going to die by my hands anyway!"

A gray miasma shot into the sky like a tornado. Having absorbed the Demon King, the Demon, and even the demon clan, Linasien’s strength now exceeded that of a deity.
