Chapter 156.2: Summoning the Tragic Moon Queen, Sebastian's Nightmarish Day (2)

A moment later, the Tragic Moon Queen placed her hand on her neck.

There was a collar that Sebastian had put on her.

It was the spell crystal meant for controlling the Tragic Moon Queen.

In theory, thanks to the design of the mental magic, there was no way the Tragic Moon Queen would attempt to touch this collar, let alone destroy it with her own will.

However…

Click.

The Tragic Moon Queen released the collar with ease and crushed it.

She smiled and said with a doting and helpless tone, "My descendant, you actually want to control me?"

The smile of the Tragic Moon Queen was extremely kind.

"How naughty."

The next moment, ribbons made of mithril appeared out of thin air beneath Sebastian's feet.

The ribbons surrounded Sebastian and blocked his escape route, leaving him nowhere to hide.

However, just as Sebastian thought that this magnanimous and benevolent Empress wanted to use these ribbons to restrain him temporarily…

He saw dozens of… ten centimeters long spikes on the inside of the ribbons!

Instantly, Sebastian's eyes widened in horror.

The next moment, the ribbons retracted!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Sebastian let out a tragic cry and his eyes widened so much that they were about to pop out!

Listening to Sebastian's tragic cries, the Tragic Moon Queen revealed a satisfied smile.

"I'm sorry, poor child. Your dear Goddess Compassion likes to help the weak at all costs. Therefore, I often have to bully the weak to remind myself of who I am."

A moment later, the Tragic Moon Queen released the ribbons.

Right now, Sebastian was already drenched in blood and his tattered body was an unbearable sight.

At that moment, Sebastian was in so much pain that he wanted to die.

He had not expected… this seemingly benevolent Empress to be a bloodthirsty lunatic as well!

You want to bully the weak because Compassion likes to help the weak?! Are you out of your mind...?

Who do you think you are?!

The Tragic Moon Queen could read the fear and hatred in Sebastian's eyes.

However, she did not care at all.

It was as though she was not the one who tortured Sebastian just now.

The Tragic Moon Queen pulled Sebastian up gently again.

Thereafter, she asked in confusion, "Earlier on, you said that you wanted to control me because you wanted me to attack the Haines Empire?"

Sebastian wailed in pain. At the same time, he squeezed out with all his might, "Haines… is our… enemy! Our… interests… are aligned…!"

The Tragic Moon Queen shook her head gently. "You're wrong, child. Your enemy is not Haines."

She placed her hand on her own chest. "It's me."

"… You?"

Sebastian had a surprised gaze. He could not understand the Tragic Moon Queen's words.

Who the hell are you?

Sebastian was speechless from the pain and said with difficulty, "W-Weren't you just... lying in the coffin the entire time? You're just… a Moonlight Queen… What right do you have to be more detestable than the Haines people?"

The Tragic Moon Queen was stunned. "Do you really not understand?"

Sebastian was similarly stunned. From the Tragic Moon Queen's kind gaze… he could sense danger.

The Tragic Moon Queen revealed a helpless and bitter smile.

"Hopeless child..."

Around the Tragic Moon Queen, mithril weaved into colorful ribbons that intertwined into a twisted sword and pierced into Sebastian's body mercilessly.

"Ahhh! It hurtsssss!!!"

Sebastian let out a heart-wrenching scream as his saliva and tears flowed uncontrollably. After the twisted mithril sword stabbed into his body, it expanded in his body. He was already on the verge of breaking down from the tragic pain.

Just a Moonlight Queen?

The Tragic Moon Queen was very surprised. To think that the later generation would already have such a ridiculous misunderstanding of her.

She was indeed a Moonlight Queen.

However, she was completely different from the other Moonlight Queens.

Right in terms of race, she was different.

Had the elves of this era already forgotten about the Tragic Moon Queen's identity?

Did they think that the Tragic Moon Queen was...

An elf?

Wrong, super duper wrong…

The Tragic Moon Queen was a god and a true god. Although most of her strength had been stripped away, her status as a goddess would not waver at all.

She was an impurity that was removed from the ascended Goddess Compassion.

She was the original state of the nature god that protected the elves in the past, Compassion.

Her true name was...

[Moonlight]

Sebastian's plan to control the Tragic Moon Queen had completely failed.

The reason was so simple that Sebastian had a mental breakdown.

That was because the Tragic Moon Queen was neither an elf nor a demigod.

She was a god, a true god!

A mental control spell against demigods was completely incompatible with a true god!

She was the original state of Goddess Compassion, a shell of the past that was abandoned by the ascended Compassion.

Now, Sebastian had become the Tragic Moon Queen's plaything and was tortured by her in an extremely bloody and cruel manner.

His body was a God Regulating Mechanism that was even more thorough than the Great Teacher's. He was a machine forged from flesh and blood and his entire body was a vessel that imprisoned the power of Compassion.

That was also the reason why he had an extremely tenacious vitality.

As a machine, his engine would turn off if he was damaged... but it would be difficult for him to die.

That was great news.

The moment the Tragic Moon Queen woke up, she obtained a top-notch toy.

Although Sebastian could not control the Tragic Moon Queen, the primitive mithril he brought along as well as the ley line crystal with a shocking amount of energy were top-notch tonics for her.

After absorbing those resources, the Tragic Moon Queen's body that had long died regained its vitality for a short period of time.

This meant that, as long as the Tragic Moon Queen was willing, the current her could even go out for a walk.

"Since I'm already awake, there's no hurry for me to return to sleep either... To think that my tomb would be visited by a little shit like you. Seems like the current Leta is extremely weak indeed."

The Tragic Moon Queen smiled and asked kindly, "My proud citizen of Leta, although you've committed a huge crime against me, I still hope that you can answer me honestly. Who is the Moonlight Queen leading Leta now?"

The corners of Sebastian's mouth twitched. "It's me... I'm qualified to... inherit the throne..."

The Tragic Moon Queen smiled.

"You're not qualified."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Another tragic scream sounded.

The Tragic Moon Queen said, "You're a man. Men can't resonate with the goddess. You merely used an unorthodox method to steal the authority of the goddess."

Naturally, the Tragic Moon Queen could tell at a glance that something was amiss with Sebastian.

However…

On careful thought, although the Tragic Moon Queen felt that the method of using external forces to steal the power of the goddess was extremely heretical, there was no guarantee that this method would not be popular among the elves of this era.

Unfortunately, the Tragic Moon Queen had never been summoned to participate in the sacred test since a long time ago.

It was probably because the newbies felt that no one could defeat Tragic Moon.

It was way too much.

Even if they lost a sacred test, Tragic Moon would be magnanimous and let them choose a new candidate to continue the ritual.

She was definitely trying her best to hold back and not bully these newbies for the sake of Leta's future.

Therefore, could it be…

Was this guy really the ruler of Leta?

She felt that something was amiss…

The Tragic Moon Queen was silent for a moment. Finally, she decided to investigate on her own.

As a god, there was no need for the Tragic Moon Queen to travel around like a mortal to gather information if she wanted to investigate something.

As a god, she could naturally use many higher-level spells that went against the rules of the world.

For example…

Divination.

Mortals liked to seek answers from the gods through divination.

As for the gods themselves, they could also retrieve information about the entire mortal world quickly through certain rituals.

Right now, the Tragic Moon Queen wanted to see who was in control of her country.

The Tragic Moon Queen activated her divination spell.

She wanted to check on the actual ruler of Leta.

An answer entered her mind rapidly.

The Tragic Moon Queen was silent for a long time.

In the silent wait, Sebastian did not dare to breathe loudly, afraid that he would offend this lunatic again and suffer another round of physical pain.

The Tragic Moon Queen turned to look at Sebastian and said in confusion, "Let me ask."

"Who's Rayne Haines?"
