Chapter 112 The Fallen War Goddess

"Xiao Ye, why are you destroying this city and wanting to harm all the innocent people?" Gu Xiaosu questioned tearfully. In her eyes, Xiao Ye had become utterly unreasonable. He had chosen this city and was wreaking havoc. Xiao Ye merely raised an eyebrow, looking down with disdain as he commanded countless infected. "Gu Xiaosu, don't be so quick to condemn me. Perhaps in a while, you'll also feel disappointed in them." How could that be? Gu Xiaosu looked heartbroken at the suffering humans. In this disaster, they were completely victims! The entire city had turned into hell, buildings collapsing rapidly. Gu Feng and the others were destroying the city. Their objective was simple... Under Xiao Ye's command, they wanted to send a signal to the Alliance. Their army of infected was challenging the Alliance's authority. "Wuwuwu... Please, spare us. all the people in our city are innocent..." Seeing everyone in fear and trepidation. She had to protect them from casualties; this was the duty of a war goddess! Gu Xiaosu rushed towards the city's people, accumulating her limited strength. As a building was about to crush them, Gu Xiaosu acted on her own, pushing the collapsing structure with all her might. The weak men, women, old, and young stared blankly at Gu Xiaosu. Gu Xiaosu's face was pale, but she offered a pure smile. She coughed slightly and said, "Are you all alright? Hurry and leave this place..." They saw the dark aura emanating from Gu Xiaosu. The people of this city also saw that Gu Xiaosu had come with Xiao Ye. They cried out in sorrow, "War Goddess, why have you also become an infected? And helping them destroy us?" "Have you also betrayed our Blue Star?!" Gu Xiaosu saw pairs of eyes staring directly at her. Gu Xiaosu's face instantly turned pale as she struggled to push the building away. She vehemently denied, "No, I haven't betrayed you. I was captured by them..." Seeing Gu Xiaosu's flustered denial, the people in the city didn't believe her at all! "The War Goddess is so powerful, how could she be captured? You are clearly our Blue Star's protector, yet you've joined the evil infected!" They looked at Gu Xiaosu coldly, not with such hatred even when the city was being destroyed. It was Gu Xiaosu's actions that had shattered their faith. "My strength wasn't enough, and I fell into their hands. I never joined the infected from beginning to end." She was still waiting for the Blue Star Alliance to save her. Gu Xiaosu's loyalty belonged to Blue Star; how could she betray them? But people didn't believe her! The concept of the War Goddess's power was deeply ingrained in their hearts. Furthermore, the Alliance had previously worked to shape the image of the War Goddesses as powerful! They claimed the War Goddesses were invincible beings who could protect all Blue Star humans. "You liar, you don't deserve to be our War Goddess." A little boy, full of anger, stumbled towards her. A nearby utility pole collapsed, falling directly towards the child. The little boy stood frozen. Bang! Gu Xiaosu's figure lunged towards the boy, her slender body taking the impact of the collapsing utility pole. Tears almost welled up from the pain, but Gu Xiaosu looked at the boy gently. "Little one, are you hurt?" Gu Xiaosu had saved a life; surely the city's people would believe her now? She was still the War Goddess wholeheartedly devoted to Blue Star. "You bad person, let me go." The little boy, enraged, bit Gu Xiaosu. Gu Xiaosu, in pain, immediately released the boy, her eyes widening in disbelief. Seeing the boy's parents tightly embrace him. They said, "Will this infected black energy infect our child?" The people on the verge of collapse reddened their eyes and looked at Gu Xiaosu with hatred. "You damned traitor, we'll kill you." Gu Xiaosu's lips lost their color, her eyes turning bleak. "I didn't want to hurt you, and I'm not a traitor. I was forced to become infected..." But her pale, weak explanations were not believed by the people in the city. They saw their city on the verge of collapse, tens of thousands of citizens wailing incessantly. They turned their knives of hatred towards the weak. "Why didn't you protect us? Why did you bring these infected? We trusted you so much before, believing the War Goddess would keep us safe." Dust and debris flew around as Zhao Chen and others, carrying monsters, smashed them directly into houses. The bustling small city was on the brink of destruction. "Give us back our homes, you damned traitor, die quickly!" One by one, humans, driven mad by fear, cursed Gu Xiaosu, wanting to soothe their inner unease. They wanted to end the scene of the city being torn apart. Gu Xiaosu's heart was riddled with holes, tears streaming from her pure eyes. She covered her ears, repeating, "Believe me, believe me." However, the city's people looked at her with eyes full of hatred. Gu Xiaosu trembled and raised her head, seeing Xiao Ye majestically hovering in the sky. A faint smile played on his lips, as if he intended to conquer the entire city. "Xiao Ye, stop! I want you to stop attacking this city!" Gu Xiaosu shouted at Xiao Ye in front of the Blue Star citizens, unable to control herself. She was willing to die here for the humans of Blue Star. She didn't want to be treated as a traitor by those she protected. As Gu Xiaosu pleaded with Xiao Ye to spare the city, the man's tall figure led everyone to the ground. Upon seeing Xiao Ye and his group descend, the city's humans cowered in fear. They dared not utter a single word of complaint towards Xiao Ye; merely looking at the dense masses of infected. The city's humans understood the meaning of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. "Do you think you have the ability to make me stop?" Xiao Ye asked calmly. Gu Xiaosu's pure face turned pale and powerless. She watched helplessly as Gu Feng and the others continued their assault. The entire city's population fled in disarray, a sense of desolation filling the sky. Those pairs of eyes looking at Gu Xiaosu pierced her heart. So much malice stemmed from the city dwellers' speculations. However. Gu Xiaosu vowed that she would not yield! She trembled as she approached Xiao Ye, saying mournfully, "You turned me into an infected, and now everyone treats me as a traitor, thinking I'm with you. Xiao Ye, this is your goal, isn't it?" Xiao Ye saw Gu Xiaosu's red eyes, filled with unshed bitterness. His gaze flashed with coldness. "My goal is not that simple." Xiao Ye grabbed Gu Xiaosu roughly, his tone devoid of warmth. "If I say that I'll have them kill you, and in return, I won't attack this city, do you believe they would hesitate for a second?"
