When Aina first stepped out of the Elf Forest, she was a blank slate.
After Vivian sealed the queen, the entire Elf Race entered a very laid-back lifestyle. They tightly isolated themselves in the Elf Forest, no longer interacting with the outside world.
In the current state of the gods' revival, theoretically speaking, the gods whom the Elves believe in should also be entering a state of recovery.
However, ever since Shen Sui returned to this world, he rarely heard any intelligence about the Goddess of Nature, as if this former Main God had never appeared.
The Elves led a self-sufficient life in the forest, shedding the fanaticism and violence of the past—with the environment of the Dawn Continent, no race that has survived to this day had ancestors naturally inclined to peace.
Aina, who grew up in the tranquil forest environment, was naturally pure and innocent.
Such a blank slate is actually not quite suitable to be sent on missions alone in the chaotic Dawn Continent.
A blank slate is the easiest to be stained by filth.
Perhaps, after a thousand years of seclusion, the Elf Elders also became somewhat naïve along with the Elf Race's general environment.
Aina truly believed Alice's words.
Although she still didn't like using violence against others, under Alice's guidance, she could now unleash violence against evildoers without any psychological burden.
[Alice led the refugees in a counterattack on their village, taking their village back from the Thunder Knights.]
[Alice seemed to have a natural charm, and even without using abilities to manipulate miscreants, her words naturally gained the villagers' trust.]
[Alice led the charge into the fortress occupied by the Thunder Knights.]
[Flames ignited the outer walls of the fortress, the roaring fire seemingly devouring the sturdy castle before them.]
["Bastards! As followers of the Master of Thunder, how dare you defy our master!" The captain of the Thunder Knight squad roared angrily at the surging villagers.]
[In his eyes, these villagers without strength to even truss a chicken were just like bugs that could be crushed at will.]
[He couldn't comprehend what gave them the courage to attack transcendents.]
[Just because of this fifth-tier little girl here?]
[How naïve!]
[Under the protection of Thunderous Power, Alice's flame magic did not harm the castle in the slightest.]
[The resistance of the weak is no more than a slightly stronger struggle.]
[The Knight Captain sneered disdainfully.]
[The Knight Captain drew the sword in his hand.]
[Behind him were just five subordinates.]
[However, since they were all transcendents, killing these hundreds of villagers was just a trivial matter!]
[Earlier, he was worried that too much killing would make things difficult for the church, which was why he spared these villagers' lives.]
[But now, he no longer needed to worry, as they were openly defying the Master of Thunder!]
[This was no longer an ordinary banditry.]
[A heavy strike was necessary!]
["Kill them all." The Knight Captain coldly commanded, "We must use the most ruthless methods to suppress all who dare defy our master."]
[All the Thunder Knights displayed cruel smiles.]
How fitting.
Shen Sui watched this scene, shaking his head as he spoke.
He originally thought that the church after a thousand years should have learned to restrain themselves, but seeing the behavior of the Master of Thunder's church now, it seems they are just the same as a thousand years ago.
After all, the god they believe in, the so-called Master of Thunder, also believed they had the absolute power to control the life and death of anyone in the world.
The weak were supposed to unconditionally submit to the strong.
The strong had the right to unconditionally take everything from the weak, including their life.
The gods of the Dawn Continent never had true divinity in the real sense.
They merely lucked into seizing a bit of the world's authority, becoming a batch of the most powerful beings on the continent.
Moreover, the so-called powerful strength of theirs was all due to monopolizing all resources at their level.
When a stronger person appeared before them, these lofty gods would show their true and ugly faces.
Shen Sui never believed that the churches of the Dawn Continent had true faith in the real sense.
They didn't even come close to being a religious belief.
[The Thunder Knights charged at the villagers.]
[Alice raised her magic staff.]
[Clearly only fifth-tier, yet she felt no fear whatsoever.]
[Anna was right behind her.]
[Yet when the knights charged before her.]
[She seemed to return to that terrible day when the villains charged into their village and took away her dearest friend.]
[The Thunder Knights, under the pretense of protecting the villagers, looted the entire village.]
[The village was utterly destroyed, Alice lost her home.]
[Although her aunt wasn't very good to her and often considered her a burden.]
[But it was still Alice's home.]
[But this time, Alice had the power to resist.]
[No matter how small it was.]
[No matter how insignificant it was.]
[Yet it filled Alice's heart with faith.]
[At least this time, she could say, no!]
[A wall of fire rose before Alice.]
[Red Lotus Fire bloomed amidst the thunder.]
[Alice found her life's faith, her future would no longer be lost.]
[Ding! You have acquired a Permanent Spell Card: Witch's Faith]
["Plundering wealth, slaughtering civilians." Alice coldly said, "Is this the Thunder Master's knights?!"]
[The Knight Commander laughed heartily, even disdainfully not answering Alice's words.]
[The strong rule supreme, the strong oppress the weak, the Master of Thunder has always been so.]
[The ruthless Thunder Spear effortlessly cleared away the surrounding flames.]
["Trash! Die!" Thunder transformed into a sharp blade, surging toward Alice at the front.]
[The Knight Commander seemed to see the scene of Alice's beautiful body being charred by the thunder.]
[He was indescribably excited.]
[This was the feeling of crushing the weak!]
[Boom! The formidable power shredded the body apart.]
[The splattered blood and flesh turned into cyan-green light spots, eventually forming beautiful cyan butterflies.]
["Um..." a melodious voice came from behind Alice, "This isn't right..."]
["Eh? Where did he go?" Aina blinked confusedly, she remembered someone was supposed to attack Alice just now.]
["I only used an ordinary magic..." Aina said with pursed lips, "I thought he was strong..."]
The Knight Commander was only ninth-tier.
It's expected that you, at thirteenth-tier, with just a raise of ordinary magic, would instantly defeat him.
Aina seemed to believe that the Thunder Knight Commander looked formidable, and so was slightly heavier-handed.
[The strong oppressing the weak being punished by a stronger one is a form of karma.]
[Anna smirked and withdrew the magic in her hand. In Alice's plan, the one to kill the Thunder Knight's leader should have been her...]
["I'm a bit worried," Aina said, "Will this cause some trouble? An Elf killing a Thunder Knight or something."]
["It's alright!" Alice assured with a pat on her chest, "I can testify for you, it was he who ran into your magic, the fault lies entirely with him."]
[Ding! You have acquired a Spell Card: Evasion]
["Besides, no one else will say anything about it." Alice glanced at the few retreating Thunder Knights.]
[Her heart kind, she couldn't bear to see the Knight Commander walk to the underworld all alone.]
[Anna stepped out from behind Alice.]
[Ding! You have acquired a Spell Card: Alice's Kindness]
