After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 571 - 228: Tenderness for the Weak_2

He spoke sincerely.

"Even if it’s a delusion, it’s no matter; I hope everyone can realize their own value and then come to meet their correct death."

"But what if someone wants to step into the correct death with their family?" asked the God of War, "Not everyone desires delusions to fulfill their wishes; some yearn for people who are tangibly present."

The Delusional Demon smiled in response, "As long as both parties are willing, they can link their delusions together, and they would still be able to stay together and enter the correct death."

"What if one of them does not wish to link their delusions?" the God of War asked. He did not care about the so-called compassion for the weak that the Delusional Demon spoke of, for as a being of strength, he found the so-called realization of self-worth by the weak to be utterly unimportant.

He was only there to refute the Delusional Demon’s plan according to orders. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

However, the goddess of destiny who had sent him to refute probably did not expect him to truly negate the Delusional Demon’s plan. As long as Ragnarok descends and the conclusion remains unchanged, the Delusional Demon’s plan would possess unparalleled allure.

No matter how it’s denied, it’s meaningless.

"That would be their own choice," the Delusional Demon displayed an unexpectedly cold side, "All I can do is provide the choice; I cannot satisfy everyone. If they do not wish to link their delusions, then I won’t interfere at all."

"Is that so," the God of War pondered, then said, "But Ragnarok has not yet descended, so isn’t it too hasty to lead everyone into the correct death now?"

"Indeed," the Delusional Demon admitted, "If we don’t try to overcome Ragnarok and directly enter the correct death within a delusion, that would be too pathetic."

The God of War grinned, "Do you think Ragnarok can be overcome? It exists at the end of time, the point where all things come to an end."

In fact, he also believed that Ragnarok could not be overcome, but he did not fear it; instead, he was filled with anticipation to challenge an existence that was absolutely insurmountable.

"How would you know without trying?" the Delusional Demon said, his gaze falling upon the All-Knowing Saintess, before he stepped back.

Now it was the All-Knowing Saintess’s time. He was merely a demon who pitied the weak, able to present a plan that would only allow everyone to enter the correct death within a delusion; he could do nothing else.

Overcoming Ragnarok was beyond his capability.

"I knew things wouldn’t be so simple." The God of War fixed his gaze on the All-Knowing Saintess, draped in a gray cloak, before suddenly spreading his arms wide and exclaiming loudly:

"Let me introduce you, this seemingly fragile girl is the embodiment of the Tree of Omniscience, present everywhere, possessing all the world’s wisdom. She has witnessed the rise and fall of all civilizations and is the most ancient existence in this world."

"Gods are but children in her eyes; the world is merely her garden where she takes root, and all life grows under the protection of her wings."

Eden: "..."

"So, how do you, so great, plan to save this world that will soon be burned to ashes?" The God of War lowered his arms, looking at the All-Knowing Saintess with interest. Everything he said was true, and he sincerely believed the All-Knowing Saintess could come up with a plausible plan to save the world. If even the All-Knowing Saintess could not present a plausible plan,

Then the world would inevitably be burned into ashes.

High heavens.

Atop the Tower of Wisdom.

"I knew the All-Knowing Saintess would take action," the Goddess of Cycle said, hand on her hip, glancing at the Goddess of Wisdom nearby and asking:

"What do you think the All-Knowing Saintess will come up with?"

The Goddess of Wisdom shook her head gently. She looked at the projection in the sky, anticipating a plausible plan from the All-Knowing Saintess. Even though she was the goddess holding wisdom, it didn’t mean she could compare with the All-Knowing Saintess. The All-Knowing Saintess, as the incarnation of the Tree of Omniscience that is present everywhere and has witnessed the ups and downs of civilizations, possessing all the knowledge that exists in the world, what sort of plan she could come up with was something even she could not guess.

However, it can be certain that this plan will certainly ignite people’s hope to live on, for the All-Knowing Saintess rather detests those who... dream-walk, escaping reality.

Even though the All-Knowing Saintess shelters a group of chosen dream-walkers.

...

...

Hell.

The lowest level.

The Witch of Death looked calmly, glanced at the projection of the sky, then lowered her head to look at the thorned iron cage in her hand, imprisoning the soul of the Dragon Clan’s little princess.

She had not planned on rescuing the soul of the Dragon Clan’s little princess, but the Gods of Hell took the initiative to deliver the soul of the little princess, along with the former Dragon Queen’s soul, as if implying that the souls of both were hers by right.

"Take her soul back to the living world," she passed the thorned iron cage to Ijelica standing by her side, then waved her hand through the void next to her, opening a passage to the living world.

"Goddess of Death, don’t you plan to return to the living world?" Ijelica asked, carrying the iron cage with the daughter’s soul, "The Church of Death is waiting for your return."

Although she did not retain any memories from before Time Retrospection, through descriptions, she understood that she was supposed to have joined the Church of Death in the future, so she should be considered part of the Church of Death.

Otherwise, the All Gods of Hell would not have entrusted her own soul to the Witch of Death.

The Witch of Death shook her head gently, then her figure vanished from the spot. She was very busy, just like the All-Knowing Saintess was preparing to save the world, she and the Goddess of Death were also devising a plan, to create a world of the dead among the dead, to accommodate all souls smuggling into a brand new world. Yet whether this plan could succeed was still an unknown.

But even if it failed, it didn’t matter. She was ultimately going to challenge the King of Ash again, to pull Ahtal down from the position of creator.

"How reliable," Ijelica pursed her lips and smiled faintly, her gaze falling on the sky above, where the All-Knowing Saintess removed her cloak, revealing a delicate face.

She then heard the plan of the All-Knowing Saintess.

"The King of Ash is strong. His mission is to burn the old world and create a brand new one. What He represents is inevitability," said the All-Knowing Saintess calmly, asking everyone, "But do any of you know exactly how strong the King of Ash is?"

Of course, it was impossible to know.

In this world, no one could know exactly how strong the King of Ash was... no, perhaps the God of Omniscience might know, but that was meaningless as well, since no one knew how strong the God of Omniscience was. The only concept was that the King of Ash possessed strength surpassing that of the God of Omniscience, making Him an unstoppable force.

"To know just how strong the King of Ash is, one must fight with the King of Ash," said Eden in what seemed like a useless truism, for fighting with the King of Ash meant death, and realizing His strength would have no significance.

However, everyone quickly understood what the All-Knowing Saintess was thinking.

"I can input all the necessary information of the living world into the world created by the Delusional Demon, allowing everyone to attempt challenging the King of Ash."

"Compared to an unprepared fantasy, you will have ample time to prepare and attempt to defeat the King of Ash, whether you are mortals, demons, or gods. Anyone who has an idea can try," she said.

"If someone can overcome a simulated King of Ash even once, it means we have found a possibility to overcome the King of Ash."

It seemed the world had suddenly gone silent for a moment.

Upon hearing this, the God of War himself stood stunned, staring blankly at the placid and composed All-Knowning Saintess. He had not expected the All-Knowing Saintess to take such a grand action, but considering her omniscience, it was not surprising she could achieve this.

"Thus, heroes can freely experiment with their hypotheses and plans," he said, grinning, "Overcoming the King of Ash seems not to be without hope after all."
