After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 508 - 199 Offline_2
At that time, the Catalogue of Life she left in Ahtal’s body would play a critical role, through the King of Ash’s hand, recreating all those who had passed away in the past.
As for whether the deceased could be considered resurrected, it depended on the resurrected person’s self-recognition.
"There is memory about Letixia, Jed, and everyone related to you," the Goddess of Life gradually loosened her grip on the King of Ash, "Whether you recreate them or not is up to you." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
As her words fell, she turned into ashes and disappeared into the dark abyss of the world.
That was all she could do. Once Ahtal emerged from the state of being the King of Ash, the Catalogue of Life would be Ahtal’s only chance to salvage all regrets, and everything of the old world could thus be preserved.
This woman was consumed with the thoughts of others.
Xi Mu indifferently turned and vanished; he was not particularly surprised by the choice of the Goddess of Life. It was the inevitable choice of her nature, as the Goddess of Life’s thoughts were more delicate, and she considered problems very comprehensively.
Bearing the assumption that the world would be burned by Ragnarok, she began to ponder how to extend the civilization she built and then formulated a plan to influence the King of Ash.
This was also why he encountered so little resistance when he killed the Goddess of Life, because all her attention was on the Catalogue of Life focused on the continuity of civilization.
...
Xi Mu’s figure emerged from the flames, coldly gazing at the Goddess of Death and the Witch of Death standing together.
He was not surprised; given time, it was not difficult for the two of them to find a way around the rule that they couldn’t approach.
"Unfold a kingdom in your heart that covers an area equal to the high heavens," the Goddess of Death coldly looked towards the void, "I can do that too."
After discovering that she had been separated from Ahtal by the use of a rule, she immediately unfolded her internal kingdom, and through a similar power found the Witch of Death.
Then she shrank the scope of her internal kingdom to that of a single country’s range to counter the influence of the King of Ash’s internal kingdom.
Now at least they could confront the King of Ash head-on.
"Clang." Xi Mu threw the Great Sword of Death out, which landed beside the Witch of Death, depriving them of their means to lock onto him.
The Witch of Death gently shook her head, her gaze still fixed on Ahtal, calmly explained:
"You have my personal favor written upon you; discarding the Great Sword of Death isn’t enough to evade being locked onto unless you’re willing to burn yourself once."
The one who had bestowed the most divine favor upon Ahtal in this world was her; since the rise of Ahtal, she had been consecutively blessing him. The amount of favor she granted surpassed that of the former Miss Black Blade, which also meant that Ahtal was thoroughly imbued with her essence from within and without.
Flames ignited on Xi Mu’s surface, calmly burning away the Witch of Death’s favor bit by bit, without the slightest reservation.
Now the Witch of Death’s favor had no value left to be used.
However, if a new cycle were to start, that would still be the first power he prioritized to obtain, for it was simply too useful.
The Witch of Death felt the favors she endowed upon Ahtal gradually vanish with the flames, and her cold eyes began to brim with murderous intent.
This act of completely severing the ties with her charge was, without a doubt, an insult to her. Every favor she granted Ahtal was proof of trust, and now it was all being burned away.
No words were necessary.
The battle erupted instantly, the Witch of Death and Goddess of Death both taking action, fighting for the survival of this era.
It was a battle with no chance of victory.
"On the sixth day, God set down the rules; that which is not made by the gods shall be spurned by the world, losing all blessings conferred upon birth as a human."
Xi Mu then crafted a new Chapter of creation, causing a brief stasis in the actions of the Witch of Death and Goddess of Death. To be spurned by the world, to lose all blessings conferred upon birth as a human, meant that they would lose all luck, be unable to interact with the world itself, and further be repelled by the world itself, akin to moving through wet cement.
Unable to breathe, movement extremely difficult, it would be perfectly normal to die inside if the situation persisted a little longer.
However, to the Witch of Death and Goddess of Death, this was not fatal; they quickly adapted to the environment, used more power to fight against the world, and continued to attack the King of Ash, despite knowing there was no chance of victory.
"On the seventh day, God set forth the rules, all things not created by gods shall remain in the old world," Xi Mu extended his hand and drew forth a great sword ablaze with flames from the void, his gaze locked onto the Goddess of Death and then he hurled it with ferocity, the flames capable of incinerating everything transformed into light that overwhelmed the Goddess of Death’s body.
"Boom!" The exposed kingdom within his heart collapsed, revealing everything from the outside world, yet there seemed to be little difference.
Wherever he looked there were Ash Fires, the entire world collapsing under the burn of the Ash Fires, the environment here seemingly more advantageous than in the kingdom within his heart.
Xi Mu retracted his gaze, landing on the Witch of Death not far away, he wasn’t interested in the Goddess of Death’s last words, so he acted preemptively to dispose of her.
It spared him the time of listening to last words.
The Witch of Death stood amidst the boundless sea of fire, her wave-like blue hair fluttering, her sapphire eyes staring at the figure opposite her.
"Ahtal... no, nothing matters anymore," she gently shook her head, her sapphire eyes turning icy cold.
"Come and fight, King of Ash," her only thought now was to kill the King of Ash, no matter if she had no chance at all.
If offended, then retaliate.
As for evading, it solved nothing; she would not lament past choices, nor beg for mercy from the King of Ash.
But if given the chance to choose again, she would stop Ahtal from extracting the Sword of Light in the Iris Flower Kingdom.
"Farewell, greatest witch." Xi Mu reached out, the Ash Fire that pervaded everywhere in the world converging into a great sword of flames.
He grasped it in his hand and then hurled it.
Light swallowed the Witch of Death’s voice, penetrating the flames that consumed the world, ending the last life in the ultimate world.
In theory, the Witch of Death was the most difficult being to kill. She possessed the attribute ’death within death,’ meaning an already dead being cannot die a second time.
But if the entire world has already... died, and everything transformed to ash, all concepts reverting to an original undifferentiated state.
Then the Witch of Death could only rely on herself to resist the strike that burned the world.
An unprecedented silence.
Content, Xi Mu exhaled a breath of satisfaction and turned his gaze to the distance, where an extraterritorial demon stood atop the ashes.
"Ahtal, have you calmed down now?" The figure of the extraterritorial demon remained in a semi-transparent state, ready to detach at any moment.
"How about we talk?" This world had been thoroughly incinerated by the Ash Fire, and not even the God of Omniscience’s revival could prevent it.
This also means that Ahtal’s underlying impulse should have subtly changed, from the initial drive to burn the world to an impulse to create the world.
The impulse to create the world should be enough to allow Ahtal to emerge with rationality for dialogue, rather than burning people upon meeting them.
Xi Mu cast a cold glance at the tense extraterritorial demon; killing this fellow or not didn’t affect the ashen endgame.
The extraterritorial demon, possessing abilities beyond this world, had already been relatively detached from this world’s existence and was also related to the DLC setting, so the game developers made it very difficult to kill due to the powers granted.
Escaping to the extraterritorial realm upon encountering danger.
But he could still be killed if desired; it wasn’t a particular challenge for him, it just wasn’t necessary, after all, it didn’t stop the world from burning to ash.
Just wait for the DLC update, then find an opportunity to do it.
Log out.
Indifferently, Xi Mu closed his eyes, letting his body fall towards the flames, after a brief moment he sensed something was wrong.
He could not log out of the game.
