As a refined extreme egoist, everything Yaohuaba did today was to preserve his existing honor and his life.

In this whirlpool of scheming and strategy, all of his plans were built on one key premise:

Yumo might recover her memories from when she was the Judgment Saint. This possibility hung over Yaohuaba's head like the sword of Damocles, making him to strike first before she could recover her memories and seek revenge.

However...

...

"You don't remember anything at all??"

Staring at the smiling, somewhat adorable girl in front of him, Yaohuaba 's eyebrows kept twitching as he asked tremblingly.

"Then what you said about settling accounts... what did you mean?"

"Of course I meant you secretly instructed the Felder family to bully my little sister and harm my brother~"

Yumo said matter of factly.

As this answer reached his ears, doubt filled Yaohuaba 's sea-blue eyes like wildfire spreading across his heart.

"This... is just this little thing?! You're settling this account? Just for that, you caused such a commotion in the Sky Nation?"

"Yes, though there are some other reasons too~"

"Other reasons? What are they?"

"Emm, this~"

Yumo tilted her head and smiled wickedly.

"Of course, it's to show off a bit, to display the aura and strength of being a villain boss~"

"What?! What kind of bullshit reason is that?!"

"It's exactly this bullshit reason~"

As she spoke, Yumo's fingers gripping Yaohuaba's neck tightened, and her eyes gradually revealed a trace of impatient menace.

"So what you just said—what the hell was all that? Betraying me? Killing me? Please explain it to me in detail~"

Although she didn't understand what nonsense Yaohuaba was talking about, Yumo instinctively became interested in the content of his words.

"First colluding with the Abyssal Lord, then besieging and such quite interesting. And those people you just mentioned, who are they?"

Unfortunately, after receiving Yumo's reply, Yaohuaba's entire mental state seemed to collapse.

"No, no... this is impossible... impossible..."

She clearly hasn't recovered her memories at all?!

If so, what was the point of me constantly revealing everything just now? Wanting to use the truth to divert her attention… wasn't I just being stupid?

No, this isn't the key point. Why hasn't she recovered her memories?!

Logically speaking, memories sealed deep within, coming from inheritance, should recover when encountering specific triggers. And I'm the one who killed the previous Judgment Saint.

The Black Moon in my hand is also like the White Day from back then, a genuine cursed sword. Seeing me charging with Black Moon, she should have recovered her memories!

But what's the result?

She doesn't remember anything and has no feeling toward me, her enemy? Not even a sign of recovery?

If this doesn't trigger recovery, then... doesn't that mean the Judgment Saint's memories were damaged during the inheritance process?

"Wait? Damaged??"

Yaohuaba's eyes suddenly contracted as he muttered in disbelief.

He certainly didn't want Yumo to recover the memories of the former Judgment Saint.

But if the other party truly cannot recover memories, then what the hell was everything I did for?! Does it have any meaning?!

"Am I brain-dead?!!!"

Unable to accept that his efforts and sacrifices during this period were in vain, Yaohuaba momentarily couldn't accept this reality.

His heart was in such a contradictory state that even his thoughts gradually became chaotic.

...

"Emm, indeed, his brain is broken, right?"

Looking at Yaohuaba in such a hysterical, self-talking state, Yumo frowned and disgustedly threw him onto the scorched earth.

However, at the moment of impact with the ground, when his head hit the gravel, Yaohuaba's eyes suddenly contracted in his chaotic state. In a moment of struggle, he seemed to suddenly realize a very serious problem.

Wait?

W... why would I be certain that she would recover her memories? Also, I've never even seen her use the Judgment Saint's power, so why would I assume she's that woman's reincarnation? This... no, something's not right...

Who... who?!! Who modified my memory?!!!

"I, I, I…. my brain, damn it... what the hell is this!!!"

Clutching his head tightly, Yaohuaba instantly rolled around on the ground, frantically letting out screams. In the continuous roars, that power hidden in Yaohuaba's heart that had clouded his mind suddenly crumbled. In an instant, his eyes regained their rationality.

The next moment, suddenly raising his head, having broken free from the cognitive modification, Yaohuaba suddenly stared at the black-haired girl in front of him with eyes like a hellish demon. His teeth pierced his lips, his nails dug deep into his flesh.

Lena, you bastard, you actually dared to deceive and use me?!!!

"You're not the Judgment Saint at all!! You're just a..."

However, just as Yaohuaba couldn't accept the reality and let out a roar, a holy, noble voice that seemed capable of purifying souls instantly echoed in Yaohuaba's ears, also causing Yumo, who had a disgusted expression, to immediately show a vigilant look.

"No, she is indeed the Judgment Saint~"

?!!!

Huh?!!

This voice?!!!

For a moment, Yaohuaba's expression changed dramatically, cold sweat continuously flowing from his forehead, his whole body trembling as he turned to look behind him.

"Is it you?!"

At this moment, under Yaohuaba's despairing gaze, a golden spatial door had somehow opened on the empty ground behind him, and a silver figure was slowly walking out from within.

An elegant white long dress, its hem flowing like clouds, gently brushing the ground, as pure as falling snow. The hem was inlaid with exquisite silver edges, faintly glowing, emanating a mysterious and enchanting aura.

The woman's figure was graceful and elegant, the long dress tightly fitting her perfect curves, outlining her enchanting form. With each step, her slender legs were fully displayed, highlighting her elegant and dignified temperament. Her slender waist was like a graceful willow branch, emanating charming curves that made one's heart flutter.

Her absolutely beautiful face was like a lily bud about to bloom, pure and flawless. A high nose bridge, gentle eyebrows, bright eyes sparkling with the light of wisdom. The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, emanating a trace of gentle smile, making people's hearts race.

Her beautiful silver long hair was tied into a bundle, held high on top of her head, like a bright moon suspended above. The fine silver hair was woven into an exquisite hair bun, each strand of hair showing flickering silver light, as brilliant as embedded gems. The hair bun was decorated with several silver-white flowers, faintly emanating a light fragrance, complementing her white long dress, further displaying her noble temperament and pure beauty.

The moment the silver-haired woman appeared, the oppressive Shadow power between heaven and earth immediately collapsed, and gentle, warm aura floated here.

However, although the surrounding atmosphere did become warm, Yaohuaba 's heart sank into the cold abyss, his whole person ashen-faced and lifeless as he stared at this silver-haired woman who suddenly intruded into the battlefield.

That being who currently holds the most supreme position in the Source Star Universe.

The Guiding Saint, Maya.

"W... why are you here?! When did you arrive?"

...

Regarding Yaohuaba's dumbfounded stare, Maya didn't seem to care, but leisurely walked toward Yumo and began explaining on her own.

"The reason she hasn't recovered her memories until now... is also very simple. Because that child completely forgot to synchronize her memories into the inheritance~"

Speaking, Maya cast a meaningful look at Yumo.

"Despite all my reminders, that little dummy still forgot... sigh... such a troublesome child. Well, from this point, you two are exactly the same—both not reassuring at all. Don't you think so, Yumo?"

Yumo: ...

Momo: …
