Their world doesn't need gods.

Chapter 181: Sheryl's Betrayal (1)

(I was really childish back then, and I must have caused a lot of trouble to Al and Rose...)

Liliana couldn't help wanting to laugh as she thought back to the past.

She herself knew very well that she was just being willful at the time, and Alfred didn't... She couldn't say that the idiot was completely without fault, but she definitely had more problems.

After that, Liliana began to hate Alfred and distanced herself from Rose, who had a close relationship with him.

Now, Liliana really regrets it.

(If it had been earlier... I'm sorry, Al, and Rose...)

When her consciousness was completely engulfed by darkness, Liliana heard that familiar voice.

However, the feeling of the person who spoke seemed different from usual.

"Emilia, I'm leaving Lily and that girl over there in your care. You must not let Lily die!"

?◇?◇?◇?◇?

"Hey! Antonio, what the hell is going on?! This is completely different from the plan you told me. Didn't you say you wouldn't hurt Rosemary?! What the hell is going on with that bastard Lucius now!"

Cheryl held the small black stone statue and yelled angrily.

[I only said that I would not hurt the little girl named Rosemary, but I never said that others would not hurt her~ It seems that you have a deep misunderstanding of me. ]

As if mocking Sheryl, the little stone statue calling itself Antonio answered in an extremely frivolous tone.

"W-what...say it to me again?!"

This time, Antonio didn't even respond to Cheryl's words, and the little stone statue stopped making any sound.

Cheryl felt extremely angry and regretful, and smashed the small stone statue to the ground.

Originally, she followed Antonio's plan and let Lucius be devoured by the puppet that Antonio had tampered with, turning him into an insane madman who harassed Rose.

Afterwards, Alfred will come and fight Lucius.

Lucius kills Alfred, or when both sides are defeated, Cheryl will come forward to deal with the two of them personally.

In this way, Antonio can get rid of Alfred, who is out of his control and is suspected to be a reincarnation sent to this world by other gods.

And Cheryl can also help Rosemary to completely break free from the constraints of the Duke of Elect's family.

Sheryl had thought so.

But Antonio, that bastard, had other plans and betrayed her at the critical moment.

(Damn it! In this case, I have to find a way to get Rosemary and that little girl named Liliana to escape.)

Cheryl knew very well that she had no way to fight against Lucius who was unharmed.

She immediately prepared to destroy the inexplicable barrier so that the two could escape quickly.

But suddenly several spells came from the darkness, catching Cheryl off guard.

Fortunately, Cheryl was wearing a magic shield, so although she was hit directly by the magic and was blown away, she did not suffer any fatal injuries.

After rolling on the ground for a few times, Sheryl immediately adjusted her posture and stood up again.

Kneeling on one knee, she took out a pistol from the holster on her thigh and fired continuously in the direction of the magic.

"Tsk, it has no effect..."

"Just as the rumors say, you seem to be using a very strange weapon. Although the weapon seems to be quite powerful, it is useless to us."

A man who spoke in a sinister voice slowly emerged from the shadows of the forest.

Following him were a dozen men and women who covered their bodies and faces with dark purple cloaks.

"Marcus, what do you mean? Did that bitch Marina send you here?!"

Cheryl put on a special magazine and angrily questioned the leading man.

"The one who only thinks about finding a man for sex every day? Don't joke with me! Whether it's you, a damn girl, or that damn bitch, you are not worthy of the Lord God's plan, you should both leave."

Marcus replied with a disdainful smile.

Judging from his words, Cheryl guessed that the other party was probably not directly instructed by Antonio.

It is very likely that Marcus simply wanted to usurp power, or was instigated by the Annu followers in other pastoral areas to take advantage of the chaos to get rid of him.

However, this was probably also part of Antonio's plan.

(Damn it, that damn bastard god!)

Cheryl raised her gun, ready to shoot at Marcus and the others again.

There was no telling how long Liliana could hold on, and she wasn't going to waste her time with these rubbish.

"Haha, you are such an idiot who has no learning ability. Your attacks are of no use to us..."

Before Marcus could finish his words, his voice was drowned out by the explosion.

(Even if it's a blast bomb, there's no way to directly penetrate their weird barrier...)

Cheryl couldn't help but smack her lips, pulled out a dagger from her waist and rushed towards Marcus and others.

Although the barrier blocked most of the damage, it was unable to completely absorb the impact of the explosion.

While Marcus and the others were in chaos due to the impact of the explosion, Cheryl approached quickly, bypassed the puppets blocking the way, cut the neck of the cultist closest to her with a dagger, and then put the pistol to the head of another guy.

The guy who was planning to attack from behind knew the presence of the pistol, so he was so scared that he dared not move.

Cheryl pulled the trigger without mercy.

The cultist's head and part of his upper body suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"W-what?! You guys, stop her quickly, and the magician team, prepare some magic for me, hurry up and kill this damn crazy girl!"

Marcus gave orders in a panic, and other believers also ordered their puppets to take action in panic.

Of course, Sheryl wouldn't just sit there and wait for them to get ready.

She quickly approached the unfortunate people nearby, killed several of them with a dagger and a pistol, and then threw grenades at the group of magicians who had gathered together and were about to prepare some powerful magic.

As the magic was about to be completed, the magicians hesitated for a moment.

This made them miss the opportunity to dodge and defend, and they, along with the puppets that were accumulating magic power, were blown away by the impact of the explosion.

However, due to the protection of the magic barrier, many people still appear to be conscious.

Cheryl temporarily ignored these guys pretending to be dead and rushed towards Marcus, the commander.

She deftly dodged the wolf-shaped puppet that tried to pounce on her and shot it in the stomach. Then Cheryl turned around and used the centrifugal force generated by her spinning body to throw the dagger at Marcus.
