Chapter 561: Chapter 223 Simulation Combat with the King of Ash_2

The words were not yet fully spoken when he noticed that the girl on the bed had fallen asleep, her face still wearing a satisfied smile.

Closing the book, Xi Mu rose calmly, casually set up a magical barrier, and then vanished from the room.

He now intended to meet another person.

Meanwhile, on the bed, the Goddess of Salvation turned over, hugging the blankets to her chest and muttering softly.

"Teacher, this is also very delicious." The girl’s murmuring voice drifted out the window, blending with the moonlight, untainted by any impurity.

At the same time.

In the Grand Library of the Magic Kingdom.

A secluded corner.

The Magic Queen floated midair, her palm gently caressing the moon in her embrace, until she heard footsteps coming from the shadows, drawing nearer and nearer.

She withdrew her hand from the moon.

"To breach the Destiny Witch’s barrier, you... who are you?"

"Just a passerby." Xi Mu emerged from the shadows, looking at the Magic Queen with an even gaze and a warm smile, "Magic Queen, we meet again."

"I am no longer the Magic Queen." The Magic Queen gently touched the full moon in her arms, now merely a puppet in the Destiny Witch’s hand, her own life and death beyond her control, let alone her children’s safety.

"Does the Destiny Witch still take an interest in the queen’s position?" Xi Mu examined the Magic Queen, who was sitting in midair with a segment of her pale leg exposed, dangling naturally, her foot tracing an elegant curve.

This was the only part of the Magic Goddess’s body which was somewhat exposed, for she wore the queen’s robe which fully concealed her mature figure.

The Magic Queen’s gaze suddenly sharpened, fixating on the mysterious man: "You speak of the Destiny Witch with far too much tenderness and familiarity."

"Perhaps because the Destiny Witch is my teacher," Xi Mu chuckled, admitting it quite openly, unafraid of his identity being revealed. With Teacher Hecate’s abilities, it was only a matter of time before she noticed his presence.

Besides, he could silence the Magic Queen whenever he wished.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

The Magic Queen’s presence abruptly became dangerous, then quickly waned; if the man before her was Ahtal, then he must be a being even more fearsome than the Destiny Witch, and displaying hostility would be foolish.

Xi Mu laughed softly, "A very wise judgment."

"If you are Ahtal, why come to see me specifically?" The Magic Queen posed the question, unable to fathom why Ahtal would have any reason to meet her specifically.

"Just to meet someone familiar," Xi Mu answered. He had no need to see the Magic Queen, but since he was in the Magic Kingdom, it was natural to stop by.

"If you are impersonating Ahtal," the Magic Queen warned calmly, "then you..."

Her unfinished words suddenly choked off.

The pupils of the man in front of her turned to the color of red jade, faintly revealing the aspect of a world consumed by fire.

Without a doubt, this man was Ahtal.

"By the way, do you have any basic teaching materials?" Xi Mu abruptly changed the subject, asking the Magic Queen, "Something that can help naive children grasp the concept of magic."

"Yes." The Magic Queen nodded gently, then let her crystal feet touch the ground and began to search for related books with Ahtal.

After handing several books to Ahtal.

"Lord Ahtal," the Goddess of Salvation looked at the man beside her with a pleading expression, "please ask the Destiny Witch to release my children, I am willing to pay any price."

"Teacher Hecate probably wouldn’t care about your children," Xi Mu shook his head and said, to which the Magic Queen fell silent, then continued to search for suitable books with Ahtal, also explaining related materials to him in depth, trying her best to make Ahtal understand her sincerity and thus secure a measure of freedom and safety for her children.

The next day.

Remote village.

The Delusional Demon and the Density Demon walked together to the entrance of the village and saw a girl clad in a gray cloak walking out.

They passed by each other.

"Follow me," Eden said calmly, and the Delusional Demon and Density Demon glanced at each other before following Eden’s steps away.

Upon reaching the side of a stream.

"All-Knowing Saintess, what is your purpose in finding us?" the Density Demon asked first, and upon hearing this, Eden fell silent for a moment before speaking calmly:

"It is for salvation."

"A being like you probably wouldn’t agree with finding the meaning of life in delusion," the Delusional Demon said, his philosophy very close to escapism. But for truly powerful beings, they think about solving problems directly instead of letting everyone die just to leave the King of Ash with nothing to burn.

This is a difference in thought caused by different ways of survival.

"Before the decisive battle with the King of Ash, I hope to conduct several simulations against the King of Ash to ensure everyone is fully prepared," Eden explained calmly, "Only when everyone understands the significance of Ragnarok can they better decide whether to end their own lives in delusion."

The Density Demon asked, "But that’s not your true purpose, is it?"

Although it was not entirely clear why the All-Knowing Saintess wanted to simulate a fight against the King of Ash, it definitely wasn’t to let people feel the terror of the King of Ash prematurely.

Eden nodded in response: "If the past heroes could find a way to fight against the King of Ash through the simulation, then perhaps salvation might be possible."

The Delusional Demon shook his head: "I can’t conjure up everything in the world, even if I simulate defeating the King of Ash, it wouldn’t be successful in reality."

He was very clear about the limits of his power. It was easy to defeat the King of Ash in delusion, but to defeat the objective existence that is the King of Ash was impossible; otherwise, he wouldn’t need to ensure people experienced the correct death in delusion.

"Simulating reality with almost no difference, I can achieve that," Eden concluded, and the Delusional Demon and Density Demon glanced at each other upon hearing this. If the All-Knowing Saintess could do this, it was undoubtedly good news for them.

Currently, they both had an inaccurate understanding of the strength of the King of Ash. If they could test the strength of the King of Ash in the simulation.

They could also prepare accordingly for the upcoming great battle.

If the King of Ash was truly too powerful to confront, then the Delusional Demon’s concept of correct death would be more easily accepted by the masses.

Either way, they wouldn’t lose out.

"So when can the simulation begin?" the Density Demon asked, his body trembling slightly with excitement at the prospect of facing the King of Ash in the simulation.

"The timing can’t be confirmed yet," Eden did not give a precise time. Her task wasn’t merely to copy the world’s data, but to find a way to perfect Ahtal’s theory, ensuring the world model Ahtal devised didn’t have any issues.

This amount of work would be an astronomical figure for normal demons and witches, impossible to complete in their lifetimes.

Currently, she was the only one who could perfect Ahtal’s theory.

"It won’t take too long, will it?" the Density Demon showed a doubtful expression, with the apocalypse less than three years away.

To this, Eden shook her head gently: "I can create time fissures to buy time, so it won’t take long for the outside world."

She vanished from the spot.

"Consider how you will converse with the whole world."

The Density Demon couldn’t help but marvel, "Truly worthy of the All-Knowing Saintess, enabling everyone to find a way to defeat Ragnarok in the simulation."

The Delusional Demon nodded at this, his expression a bit complex. His initial goal was to allow everyone to experience the correct death in delusion, but now it had changed to helping the All-Knowing Saintess find a way to defeat the King of Ash in the simulation. Although the final outcome did not deviate from his goal, there was a feeling of being manipulated by the All-Knowing Saintess.

And he had no reason to refute this process, because everything the All-Knowing Saintess said was utterly legitimate.

It perfectly aligned with his own plans, even making them more successful.
