Above the capital, Virginia still stands tall.

But she was not in good condition at the moment. The crystal on her head had shattered, and the twelve wings of light behind her were gradually falling off. One by one, the light feathers disappeared with the wind, and the divine kingdom that was about to materialize disappeared into the void again.

Virginia's body was gradually cracking, like a container that couldn't hold liquid; her perfect body was on the verge of collapse.

Golden blood flowed like lava from the cracks in her body. Occasionally, a drop would fall from the sky, creating a small mushroom cloud in the capital. Beneath her, a giant crater with a diameter of one kilometer had been blasted out, and this crater was continuing to expand.

Wu Yu seemed to have banished the God of Light; His will and His authority had vanished from Virginia. However, the vast ocean of faith was not something brought by the God of Light. Now, without the God's suppression, the purest energy in the world began to become increasingly violent.

Seeing the pain and confusion on Virginia's face, Wu Yu sighed and said to Sharp beside him, "Do you have a way to make me fly?"

Although Virginia seems to have regained consciousness, Wu Yu felt that she might not be able to hear him from this distance just by shouting.

Sharp looked at Wu Yu with a puzzled expression. In his common sense, Saint-level beings naturally possessed the ability to fly.

However, since the other party made such a request, Sharp felt that it was very likely that Wu Yu had just used up all his power, which was why he needed his help.

As for the possibility that Wu Yu couldn't fly because he hadn't reached the Saint level, Sharp found it laughable. This world isn't so ridiculous that even mortals can kill gods.

“【Wings of Light】” Sharp murmured, and a pair of golden wings generated behind Wu Yu. However, these were merely energy creations and could not compare to the sacred wings of an angel. But Wu Yu was not the kind of person who was picky.

The clergy can use divine magic again; it seems that even the system's strongest attack couldn't erase the source of their power.

Wu Yu had a sliver of hope that he wouldn't kill the Demon King with his area-of-effect skill last time, but this time he failed to defeat the God with his single-target ultimate skill as well. This forced Wu Yu to accept the reality that the system might not be able to help him kill anyone.

Moreover, the God of Light's last words were quite intriguing. Several thoughts arose in Wu Yu's mind, but he suppressed them all at once. Now was not the time to dwell on those things; there were more important matters waiting for him to resolve.

Flapping his wings of light, Wu Yu flew to Virginia's side. Her body was still breaking down, and in just a short while, half of her face had become a bloody mess.

But after that absolute beauty was destroyed, Wu Yu, as a human, could understand her beauty. Although she was covered in wounds, she was still so stunningly beautiful.

At the same time, Wu Yu also noticed that Virginia's body was being repaired by the same force while it was collapsing, but the rate of collapse was much faster than the rate of recovery.

Virginia's body was trembling slightly, her expression was extremely ferocious, her teeth were clenched, the pain contained in the destruction and repair of her body was beyond what willpower alone could endure.

"Is there any way to save you?" Wu Yu's words sounded weak; he couldn't understand the crisis Virginia was going through.

“The power of faith… the power of reverence within me… needs… needs to be released,” Virginia replied with difficulty, the few words seeming to have exhausted all her strength.

"Then release them, or will there be any side effects?" Wu Yu asked, puzzled.

"Destruction, protection... Wu Yu." Virginia's pain intensified, and the cold sweat seeping from her body had soaked through her thin shirt.

Wu Yu glanced at the large pit on the ground and understood the meaning behind her words.

Then a bitter smile appeared on Wu Yu's lips. He was not surprised at all that Virginia would sacrifice herself for others, but he did not expect that the person who forced her to sacrifice herself this time would be himself.

That's right. No one asked her to protect the people of the capital, so she naturally wouldn't respond if there was no request.

“I don’t need your protection, and it seems that even if you sacrifice yourself, this power of faith probably won’t dissipate immediately,” Wu Yu said with a light laugh.

The overflowing power of faith was constantly tearing apart the surrounding space, and violent air currents swept around. In a moment of carelessness, Wu Yu's cheek was cut open, and blood flowed out.

"Run." Virginia's voice was barely audible; she was on the verge of collapse.

"Let me run away?" Wu Yu nodded and said, "That's what I was thinking too. Compared to you, there is someone more important waiting for me to save. You and her are not a choice that requires a lot of agonizing."

"But in the end, I still want to advise you: if you really treat everyone the same, then please don't forget that you are also a member of the human race. Listen to your own heart; you also need your own care."

"But if you ultimately decide to sacrifice yourself, I respect your choice."

After saying that, Wu Yu flapped his wings of light and slowly flew backward.

He had put Violet in danger for far too long; now he had to go back and protect her through this final ordeal.

Sacrificing his right hand might have saved the remaining people of the capital, but Wu Yu was not that noble; he was never the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for others.
