My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

Aster followed her inside the sanctum, catching a glimpse of the hidden room of the Holy Church. After Eren, they were the only two people who had seen this room, and were still alive.

"What is this place?" Aster walked around the room, feeling strange. "There are traces of the space being completely destroyed. It still hasn't completely recovered."

As his bloodline was related to spatial manipulation, he could feel even the slightest disturbance in space.

There was only one other person he had seen, who was able to manipulate space to the extent that he could. It was Eren, when he had gone berserk during their first battle.

Initially, he wondered if Eren was also responsible for this. However, he soon dropped this thought. Even if Eren was strong, they were talking about an Overlord here.

It was impossible for him to fight an Overlord. Aster didn't believe it.

"It's not just the space that was destroyed..." The girl walked closer to the broken statue of the goddess, looking at one particular piece.

It was the exact spot where the other Eren had touched it, destroying it completely.

"Even the flow of time is irregular." she added, her thought in a mess. "Is it..."

She didn't complete her sentence, growing silent. After a long time, she stood up, uttering a single sentence that stunned Aster.

"The Holy Priestess is dead," she said. "And the one who killed her, might be even worse than her."

The Holy Priestess was dead. Was it after she declared the Holy Emperor as the next Overlord? The girl didn't believe it.

If anything, she was killed long before the declaration. It meant the one who took her position was the person behind this declaration of war.

With the death of the Holy Priestess, she had lost the reason for her existence. However, instead of being disappointed, she started laughing.

She stopped on the remains of the statue, her gaze turning colder.

"Finally, no one could stop her. She was going to take everything that belonged to her in the first place. The Holy Priestess, or the Goddess, wasn't here to stop her.

She brought out seven colorful crystals from her storage ring and placed them around the broken pieces of the goddess' statue.

Aster didn't know what she was trying to do. He could feel a strong spatial power within those crystals, that was mixed with another unknown power that even he couldn't understand.

"What are you doing?" he asked the girl, trying to approach her. However, as soon as he reached within five meters of the girl, he felt like he had hit some invisible wall.

"Don't disturb me." The girl told Aster, placing down the seventh and last crystal.

Once the circle was completed, she used her blood to carve a mark on each of the crystals.

Aster didn't know what the girl was trying to do, but he felt uncomfortable in the face of the unknown. Even if it was a good thing, he didn't want it to happen until he knew what it was.

He tried to use his spatial abilities to pass through the barrier, but he again failed.

The barrier was similar to the Holy Barrier, if not stronger.

"With the departure of the false goddess, it shall be the descent of the true goddess, the rightful owner of this world that was banished by that cursed man!"

The pieces of the goddess's statue started rising in the air, merging with each other. However, instead of creating a new statue, they started forming a door.

....

"Cursed... This Continent is truly cursed," Eren said, wondering how people could live in the Northern Continent where a strong stench of death was everywhere.

Even though he was supposed to have been bored in the Northern Continent with a bloodline suitable for Necromancy, he was still quite unsettled with the heavy aura around him.

It made him feel especially uneasy, since the aura was mixed with the stench of hell.

"Someone save my child!"

"No, don't eat my parents! I beg you!"

"I will give you everything I have! Please don't kill me!"

The Phoenix soared through the sky in Triad Family Territory. Eren was able to hear many painful cries for help through his sharp senses.

It was coming from all over the place, especially from various towns that he felt above.

It wasn't even an extraordinary scene. In this continent, scenes like this were as normal as they could be. Even if there was a threat of a continental war, there were still Necromancers who didn't care about it in the least.

They still focused on fulfilling their devilish cravings of blood. With the Hell's opening, the cravings of these people had only gotten stronger, with it becoming harder for them to control their thoughts and emotions.

Eren heard many cries for help, but he could only ignore them all. It was not his place to save others when his own life might be in danger if he was late.

He wasn't some great saviour who couldn't ignore the wrongs of this world.

If it was the main character, they might have been swayed to help the stranger, but he had arrived here for a very specific purpose. If he started helping others, he might be here all night long.

Xiu Ying and Zia were the same. It wasn't as if the Eastern Continent was some heavenly utopia. They were all people that had seen enough blood to the point that the value of others' lives had fallen drastically in their eyes.

The phoenix soon reached near the Triad Palace, where the clan actually lived.

The phoenix started descending near the Palace, with Eren preparing to jump down. He also told the others to be ready.

However, just as he was about to jump, he felt a powerful dark aura approaching. A black aura blade came flying in the direction of his phoenix from the roof of Triad Palace, where a few dark robed beings were standing.

"I didn't think they would send people to welcome us. Since they are here, we might as well enjoy their hospitality..."

Eren summoned his sword and jumped down from his phoenix.
