As the setting sun begins to fade, a single glance is enough to break one's spirit.

At sunset.

On a wasteland in the suburbs outside the city, a black portal appeared out of thin air, and a woman who was barely clothed fell out of it, landing heavily on the muddy ground overgrown with weeds.

The mournful cries continued to emanate from the other party.

"Just you wait, you bunch of bastards, just you wait! One day, I will rise again and make a comeback! Lorraine... then... I will repay this humiliation a hundredfold!"

King Elune struggled to her feet again, just in time to witness the desolate scene of the setting sun.

A burning desire for revenge consumed her; she was determined not to let these things go.

She has nothing left now.

She had nothing left but this desire for revenge.

——

However.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from behind her, startling King Elune so much that her heart almost stopped.

"Oh my? Isn't this Your Majesty? I never expected you to actually escape alive from Mr. Lorraine. It's truly incredible."

That sound is...

Sister Miracle!

King Elune turned her head sharply and saw Sister Gigantes standing right in front of her, looking at her with a sorrowful expression.

Something's not right.

"Sister, what are you doing here? Where is the city? Why aren't you fighting the magical girls in the city? Why are you here...? Wait, you... you wouldn't have been here on purpose, waiting for me, would you?!"

A sudden surge of immense sense of crisis made King Elune take a step back warily.

However, now that her strength has been reduced to only one star, if she were to face Sister Qi Gante, who has a strength of three stars, she would probably have no chance at all.

Sister Qi Gan said with great sadness.

"Your Majesty is so cruel! I was fighting desperately on the front lines for you, but all I got was your heartless betrayal and abandonment. You withdrew all the demon armies without my permission, and then left me there alone... left there to die. It's so cruel, I'm so sad."

The sound of sobbing rang out, and anyone who didn't know better would think she might have suffered some terrible injustice.

King Elune, upon hearing this, was enraged.

"Sister Kitan, it was you, you with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who betrayed me first! You dared to have an affair with Lorraine behind my back, and now you even have the nerve to say... I betrayed you? Hahaha, it's utterly ridiculous! Looking at your energetic appearance now, I'm afraid you didn't even follow my orders to fight the magical girl! You despicable traitor, how could I have misjudged you back then, treating you as a subordinate and nurturing you!"

"Huh? When did I become involved in a secret affair with Mr. Lorraine?"

"Hahaha, now that things have come to this, stop acting. Your fake crying face just makes me angry. You deliberately blocked me here, could it be that you were also ordered by Lorraine to hunt me down? You shameless woman!"

Sister Chigan had not yet spoken.

Another familiar voice rang out first from behind the nun.

"How pathetic, King Elune. Even now... you still don't understand what you've been through. Indeed... my judgment back then was absolutely right."

That sound is...

Venareda?!

King Elune was startled.

The next second.

As expected, Vena's petite figure appeared before her, and then, right in front of her, she leisurely sat on Sister Gigante's shoulder, even waving at her and teasingly saying, "Yo, King Elune, long time no see! Looks like you really got a beating from Old Lin and the others, eh? I told you long ago not to underestimate him, but you didn't listen, you didn't believe me, and you insisted on doing it anyway. And now look what happened?"

"Shut up!"

"You were reduced from four stars to one star by someone else. Judging from your current state, I'm afraid you'll be unable to even maintain the magic of one star, hehe."

"Why are you here...? Wait, you two..."

Seeing Venus sitting on the nun's shoulders, the two of them looking so intimate.

A guess flashed through King Elune's mind.

Her expression finally turned slightly horrified, and her trembling voice slowly rang out, "You two... are you in cahoots???"

"Hahaha."

Vena clapped her hands and teased, "Congratulations, King Elune, you guessed correctly very cleverly. It seems that you won't realize anything unless someone actively reveals information to you, is that right?"

"Sister, when did you betray me?!"

"Let me tell you, King Elune, the nun was never loyal to you from the beginning, so how can you talk about betrayal?"

"What?"

"From the very beginning, she was a spy I planted next to you, my top agent, responsible for monitoring and manipulating all your actions, making you a pawn... obediently walking the path we designed for you."

"What did you say!!!"

That moment.

King Elune felt dizzy and her vision went black; she nearly stumbled backward and fell.

Wiener continued.

"However, I haven't treated you unfairly. With the borrowed power, you've temporarily become a high-ranking four-star monarch, conquering the south and the north, looking down on all others. You should have fully enjoyed the pleasure of being a strong person. But unfortunately... borrowed things are still borrowed in the end, not your own."
