Chapter 215: The Devil From Beyond
Magic Kingdom.
In a noble mansion.
"Ms. Hecate, do you have any orders?" Estéve said with cold sweat on her forehead as she looked at the Witch of Destiny not far away.
She couldn't understand the current situation. It was okay to hang around under the nose of the Witch of Destiny before, but now she could be found by the Witch of Destiny when she didn't do anything.
"Are you confident in the destiny of Ragnarok?" Hecate's eyes were cold, looking at the beautiful girl opposite.
Her short rose-purple hair covers one eye, and there is a heart pattern under the corner of her eye. Her temperament gives people a cold but fiery feeling.
It was this girl who secretly met her apprentice under the gravity of Ragnarok and convinced her apprentice to release the flame giant Surtur.
If she hadn't eaten the three goddesses of destiny and deepened her understanding and interference with destiny, it might have been difficult to detect the influence of Ragnarok on destiny.
"Is... is there really the gravity of destiny in Ragnarok?" Estif smiled coquettishly, and the worry and fear on her face disappeared instantly, "In other words, my guidance to Akhtar is the choice of fate... "
Before he finished speaking, blood suddenly burst out from his shoulder, and his slender arm fell to the ground. The flowing blood dyed the wooden floor red.
"Hmm." Estif groaned in pain, raising her hand to cover her bloody broken arm, but the smile on her face became more and more charming.
"Are you angry?" After saying this, the influence from the fate level suddenly came. Estif's body seemed to be cut by an invisible blade, and shocking blood burst out, as if someone had chopped it with a random knife.
"Ahem, cough, cough... I'm going to die." Estif's charming smile remained the same, but her breath was very weak, and she would die soon.
However, she still felt happy about it, and the anger from the Witch of Destiny showed that she was doing the right thing.
So even if the Witch of Destiny takes off her head and crushes it to pieces, it will not change the infinite joy in her heart.
Sure enough, Akhtar was the chosen Lord of Ashes.
"You should be the person who understands destiny best, right?" She looked at the indifferent Witch of Destiny opposite with a smile, and the joy deep in her heart overcame her fear.
"You should also know very well what choice Akhtar will make. That man will definitely not choose to burn the Tree of Omniscientity, but will definitely try to kill the flame giant Surtur and then become a true Lord of Ashes."
"This is the choice of fate. Even if you know the result, there is nothing you can do to stop it, because none of you have a choice."
"This is the gravity of fate in Ragnarok." She has now confirmed one thing, and that is the inevitable fate from Akhtar.
As a hero, Akhtar would not kill his lover, nor would he let the world burn to ashes.
Then Akhtar had only one choice.
Kill the fire giant Surtur before Ragnarok to delay Ragnarok.
However, the price of doing so is that Akhtar becomes the new Lord of Ashes and burns down this beloved world with his own hands.
This is the gravity of fate arranged by Ragnarok.
"..." Hecate didn't speak. She tapped the armrest with her slender fingers. As the knocking sound echoed, Estif, who was originally seriously injured, was torn apart by an invisible force and turned into blood foam, which dispersed in the air.
In fact, the moment she saw Estève, she had already captured the gravity of Ragnarok's fate and immediately understood the fate arranged by Ragnarok.
However, knowing the fate arranged by Ragnarok, she could not think of a good solution and imprisoned her apprentice directly. This would naturally prevent her apprentice from becoming the Lord of Ashes, but the fate of Ragnarok that came a year later was still uncertain. will change and the world will burn to ashes.
If she lets her apprentice make a choice, her apprentice will become the Lord of Ashes and burn the world with his own hands.
No matter which choice you make, it's a dead end.
[Release the omniscient god, this is your only solution. ] From deep within, the voice of the future goddess came.
Hecate ignored it and was immersed in her own thoughts. Of course, she could not release the omniscient god, otherwise the omniscient god would personally eliminate all demons and witches.
This naturally includes her and her apprentice.
He pondered for a moment.
Hecate turned into a phantom and disappeared into the room. Of course, she couldn't sit still and wait for death. She had to use fate as soon as possible to the extent of generalizing, and then find a third possibility so that everyone could survive.
This is also the reason to capture the three goddesses of destiny.
…
…
at the same time.
At the Grand Library at Magic Kingdom.
"Letter?" Ximu raised his hand and took the letter from the little mare. After looking at it for a while, he found that it was the letter sent by Aslaqi.
"Why did you send the letter at this time?" He opened the letter and looked at it, and found that in addition to Aslaqi introducing the recent situation, she also expressed her desire to meet with him.
"Partner, please go see Aslaqi for me." Ximu looked at the little mare beside him and handed the envelope out.
"I'm a little busy right now."
"Don't you need my help?" The little mare subconsciously took the letter and asked in a confused voice. Now she is Akhtar's partner and has the qualifications to fight alongside Akhtar.
Ximu shook his head and said: "I can handle it by myself. It's not the time to need help from my partner yet."
"But the woman wants to see you. It's not appropriate for me to go, right?" The mare was a little entangled. She knew the little thoughts of that woman, Yaslaqi. Her friendship with Akhtar was not pure. It was not appropriate for her to go to see Yaslaqi on behalf of Akhtar.
In response, Ximu reached out and touched the mare's forehead: "Partner, you are my partner now. Seeing you is like seeing me."
The mare was slightly stunned, and measured her own strength with Yaslaqi, and found that she didn't have to worry about safety issues.
"Then I really go, as your partner?" She looked away, her voice trembling slightly, as if she was suppressing some emotions.
Originally, she had always positioned herself as Akhtar's mount, and now she has become Akhtar's partner. At this time, she went to see that woman, Yaslaqi.
Thinking about it makes me a little excited.
"Remember not to reveal your whereabouts, otherwise you may get into danger." Ximu lowered his head, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. He didn't have time to care about Aslaqi, Leticia and others. What he should do now is to kill the fire giant Surtur.
Other things are not worth his distraction.
"Then I'll go." The little mare rolled up the letter, then turned into a gust of wind and disappeared, and went to the Sky City to see Aslaqi on behalf of Akhtar.
And not long after she left.
"Akhtar, we meet again." A gentle voice came, Ximu looked sideways, and saw a beautiful woman with long golden hair coming over, sitting next to him very naturally, and then asked him with a free and easy smile.
"I shouldn't be presumptuous when I come?"
"Even if I'm busy, I will take time to see you." Ximu made up a lie, and picked up the teapot on the table to pour a cup of tea for Michael.
"But why did you come to see me at this time?"
"Do you need a reason to come to see a friend?" Michael smiled, leaning against the soft chair, behaving very freely.
However, because they were very close to each other, Ximu could feel the softness of Michael's shoulders and the comfortable body fragrance.
This unconscious intimacy under the free and easy is an unspeakable temptation for ordinary people, although the owner of the body does not seem to have this intention.
Who makes them all the same sex... friends.
"That's completely unnecessary." Ximu smiled and unexpectedly had the patience to communicate with Michael. Anyway, he still had to wait for the gods to strengthen the seal gate, and there was nothing to deal with for the time being, so it would be good to communicate with Michael.
"I heard that you chose Sleipnir as your partner?" Michael took a sip of the teacup on the table and asked curiously, "I thought you would choose Leticia or Aslaqi as your partner."
"Partners are not equal to husband and wife, but people who walk on the same path." Ximu explained helplessly, "My partner is the one who knows my footprints best. It is natural for her to become my partner."
"It was beyond my expectation." Michael did not shy away and said what he thought directly, "I thought that with Sleipnir's simple character, he could not easily understand your...path."
"Then you underestimate the tacit understanding between my partner and me." Ximu did not change his face and talked nonsense seriously, although according to the official setting of the game, it is necessary to deeply understand the footprints before embarking on the path of a partner.
However, for players, as long as the favorability is enough, they can have a partner. Otherwise, it would be very tiring for players to understand the concepts of lies, life, justice, etc.
So as long as the mare's favorability towards him meets the standard, she can directly become his partner without really understanding his footprints very deeply.
"Sorry." Michael apologized sincerely, and then casually said, "Mist was a little... disappointed when she knew you had a partner."
He met Akhtar's gaze.
"She wanted to be your partner."
"I had no choice at that time. If it weren't for my partner's ability." Ximu smiled at Michael, "I would have died at the hands of the God of War. Fortunately, my partner's ability can help me deal with the God of War."
"Really." Michael sighed, he had no way to help his sister. Sometimes, missed is missed, there is no chance to come back.
"Don't look regretful, it will make me misunderstand that you want to be my partner." Ximu said jokingly.
Michael thought for a moment and said, "If I can become your partner, I would like to try it."
"Unless you can become a woman." Ximu rolled his eyes, and then Michael smiled and asked him:
"Akhtar, do you know the demon power I use?"
Ximu said bluntly: "You didn't tell me."
"That's not quite accurate. Do you know the witch power I use?" Michael asked with a smile, and told him without waiting for an answer, "It's the witch of confusion, who has the ability to create confusion and has very strong interference on the spiritual level."
Ximu's expression became subtle.
"Don't let your imagination run wild." Michael smiled freely. He knew very well in his heart that many people wanted him to change his gender, but he never felt angry about it and could still joke about it.
He drank a sip of tea and explained.
"If I can continue along the path of the Bewitched Witch until I reach the same height as the Bewitched Witch, I will become a being like the Bewitched Witch."
"That's harder than becoming a demon." Ximu asserted. Although many people can use the power of demons, no one has ever truly reached the level that a demon should have through the power of the demon.
"I have no intention of following the path of the Bewitching Witch all the time." Michael explained, "Now I am already thinking about abandoning the power of the Bewitching Witch."
He stretched out his white palm.
"If the improvement of strength is to become someone else, then forget it."
Ximu leaned back on the soft sofa and said: "If you can catch the dividing demon and use his power to divide the power, then you can do it."
"It's not easy to catch a demon." Michael shook his head. He was very self-aware and knew that he could not be the opponent of the demon.
Ximu said jokingly, "If I encounter a partition demon, I will catch it."
"Thank you then." Michael didn't care. He just thought what Akhtar said was a joke and started talking about other things.
Until it gets late.
"Mister should come to see you tomorrow." Michael stood up and patted Akhtar on the shoulder, "She is a bit clumsy, but her idea of chatting with you is true."
"You just think you are stupid." Ximu waved his hand, and Michael smiled upon seeing this, then stood up and left the big library.
Not long after Michael disappeared.
"You are so popular." A casual voice came, and Ximu frowned slightly, and immediately felt his shoulder being hooked.
He turned around and saw a man with short blue hair suddenly appeared next to him. He smiled casually and had a collar-like tattoo on his neck. He was wearing loose white trousers and a shirt, giving him the feeling of a vagabond.
"Outside Demon?"
"Did you figure out my identity right away?" The outside demon showed a surprised expression, and then said with relief:
"It's impossible for a guy like you to be favored by both a witch and a goddess at the same time without some brains."
"Why are you here for me?" Ximu triggers the plot as a routine. He doesn't have much interest in the demons outside the world. This guy appears in too few plots and doesn't have much interaction, so it is naturally difficult to attract players' love.
Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the outside demon is a male and his dress is too fashionable. It is true that it makes people less interested in strategy.
"Let me think about where to start." The outsider demon thought for a moment, and then asked: "Has that woman told you about the Hall of Heroes?"
Ximu said: "Which woman?"
"The Witch of Time." The outsider demon replied with a smile, "The ten shadow magics you have been using are the magic created by that woman."
