Chapter 226 The Divergence of Destiny
Magic Kingdom.
Big library.
"Apprentice, it's faster to trigger the time back to the limit." Hecate put down the tea cup and directly concluded, "If you go to find Suna, you will fall into the trap prepared by the future goddess."
She looked at her apprentice across the table.
"Choose the world or choose..."
Xi Mu immediately replied: "I want both."
Hecate sighed tiredly. She seemed not surprised by Akhtar's choice. It would be better to say that she had expected this answer.
"Teacher, don't worry about me." Ximu picked up the teapot on the table and added a cup of tea for Hecate, "As the Lord of Ashes, you will not be bound by mere traps."
"In the Broken Mountain in the orc country." Hecate answered, "That is where the body of the Calamity Witch is buried."
Ximu nodded slightly, stood up on his knees, then glanced at Hecate with a slightly frowned brow, and said:
"Teacher, don't keep frowning."
"..." Hecate subconsciously stroked her brow and found that she was indeed frowning involuntarily. In the past, she would not be as troubled as she is now even when facing death. This may be because she has someone she cares about.
"Teacher, if you are tired, take a rest." Ximu turned around, turned into light and disappeared, heading to the Duoyao Mountain in the orc country.
He remembered the information about the Disaster Witch very clearly. She had the ability to cause all disasters and absorb all disasters. She had a power close to the omnipotent level before her death. However, because she fell in love with her beloved Pandora before her death, the gods imprisoned Pandora. In a box that seals everything, he then claimed to the Witch of Disaster that only someone who loves Pandora can enter the box so that Pandora can come out.
Otherwise, Pandora will be swallowed by the abyss of the world in the box, without even a chance of reincarnation.
The ending is naturally very clear. The Witch of Disaster entered the box and exchanged Pandora.
Afterwards, the gods entered the box and strangled the Witch of Disaster, then handed the box to Pandora, claiming that as long as Pandora loved the Witch of Disaster, she could exchange herself for the Witch of Disaster.
However, the Disaster Witch has long since died.
…
…
Broken waist mountain.
In a dilapidated wooden house, a girl with long black hair and a black dress sat on the corner of the bed holding a box, looking blankly at the silver-armored knight who appeared in front of her.
She asked in a confused voice.
"Who are you?"
"It's the devil." Ximu answered immediately, stretched out his hand to Pandora, "Give me the box."
"I refuse." Pandora hugged the box tightly and buried her head in her arms. "There are people who are very important to me in here."
"I have no interest in snatching the box." Ximu explained, "I just want to enter the box and bring out my important friends."
Pandora shook her head and explained: "If you want to take the person out of the box, you must truly love her, otherwise the box cannot be opened."
Ximu didn't explain. He directly reached out and snatched the box. He put his hand on Pandora's cheek to prevent her from snatching the box back. He gently hooked the switch with his other hand.
The sealed box can be easily opened.
Ximu handed the box back to Pandora, and then flew into the box. It was obviously a small box, but people could easily fly in as long as they got close. It seemed to have the ability to shrink people in proportion.
Pandora froze on the spot when she saw this, looking at the open box in her arms, and then stretched out her hand towards the open box, but her fingertips touched the wooden inner wall of the box.
She still couldn't get in.
No... In fact, there is no way to get in. The saying that you have to love the other person before exchanging the other person. This is a clumsy lie from the beginning.
"Gods, I curse you!" She hugged the box in her arms tightly and cursed viciously, "You will all be burned by the flames of dusk and lose your eternal life!"
There is no one in this world that she would rather wish Ragnarok to come. As long as the gods can die together, she can accept it no matter what the cost.
Even if the price is the world itself.
…
…
Inside Pandora's box.
Different from the outside world, there are natural disasters everywhere in the box. The earth is constantly shaking, and the never-ending explosions blow, cutting the earth like sharp blades.
In such an extreme environment, let alone human beings, not even giant dragons can survive.
What is sealed in the box is all the power of the Disaster Witch, which causes disasters all the time and destroys the box itself all the time.
Ximu stood in mid-air, with flames swaying on his body, isolating any approaching disaster. He was waiting for the NPC to explain the situation to appear.
This box is a box made by the gods. It has the power invested by the gods and is enough to form the elements of a world.
The way to open this box is also very simple. Find the only safe place in the box, which is where hope lies.
"Akhtar, don't rush to do it." Several white pigeons flew through the storm and flew close to Akhtar, "You want to find Suna, right?"
Ximu listened indifferently.
"Suna's hope is hidden in despair." Bai Ge explained, "But that hope is very fragile. If you add a little bit of disaster to this world, then Suna will be swallowed up by the disaster. You have to find a way to find it." Hope in despair.”
"I refuse." Ximu's pupils seemed to be burning with flames as he took out the Sword of Light, "Have you forgotten that Suna can return after death?"
He said to the white dove.
"Just a moment's fluctuation is enough. As long as I catch it, I can find where Suna is next time." After saying this, he directly chopped down the sword of light, and the monstrous flames flooded the world.
A few white doves turn into ashes, causing disasters all the time, and they are not worth mentioning in the face of flames that can burn the world.
…
…
at the same time.
Closed stone interior.
"Does that man really care about you?" The God of Roads asked angrily, attacking indiscriminately without even thinking, showing no sign of caring about his friends at all. Did the future goddess misjudge Akhtar?
Su Na, who was in the center of the stone room, pursed her lips slightly and looked around at the gods present. This was the first time she had seen so many gods. There were at least twenty of them, and many of them were familiar gods.
For example, the god who is in charge of wealth and contracts, or the god of destruction who is said to be able to destroy the world by opening his third eye, or the god of roads who controls all roads in the world, and the god of scales who is responsible for controlling the scales. .
And with so many gods gathered here, the hope hidden in this despair is to trap Akhtar in Pandora's Box by activating power.
Wherever Akhtar walks there is a path of contagion, ever increasing scale, until Akhtar's humanity burns out.
"Found it." A familiar voice came from outside the stone room, instantly putting the gods on guard.
"Suna, if Akhtar wants to take you away." The God of Conspiracy not far away said, "You must end your life immediately."
Suna lowered her head.
Now she felt a little confused. She knew about Akhtar's situation, but it was because of her understanding that she felt...confused, and she felt like she couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong.
And right now.
The stone door blocking despair became hot and turned into flowing lava, sliding down, and Akhtar's figure walked in.
"Delay until my humanity burns out?" Ximu walked slowly towards Suna, showing a wicked smile, "Why do you think Ragnarok will burn out my humanity?"
He looked around at the NPCs present.
"The quality is much better this time."
"..." The God of Destruction felt something was wrong. Why did he feel like he had become Akhtar's meal?
"Akhtar, it's better not to move on." The God of Conspiracy spoke out and threatened Akhtar, "Otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, his body was cut in half, and was immediately engulfed by the flames of ashes and turned into ashes. The whole process was so fast that no one could react.
However, the God of Destruction recognized the means of attack, which was Akhtar turning the flames of ashes into light and delivering an almost inescapable slash.
But why did the attack speed increase so much? Akhtar's attack speed was obviously not that fast before.
"Why do you think I would accept the threat?" Ximu asked in confusion, "Don't you think about how to ask me to spare your lives?"
He lifted his hair from his forehead.
"Although it is useless for you to beg for mercy, once I burn the Tree of Omniscientity, I will begin to fulfill my mission and kill all the gods."
"Do you want to kill them too?" A confused female voice suddenly came, and the gods present looked along the sound source, and saw the goddess of lies appeared out of nowhere, with her hands still on Su Na's shoulders, smiling and talking to Ah He Tal looked at each other.
"If you can survive until I kill the God of Omniscience." Ximu said in a casual tone, and the Goddess of Lies smiled when she heard the words, and then lied to the gods.
"Suna and I were never in Pandora's Box." After saying this, the Goddess of Lies and Suna disappeared from the spot.
The atmosphere fell silent.
"The Goddess of Lies has many ways to prevent Suna from committing suicide." Xi Mu's eyes became evil, "If you are killed by me, you are really dead."
"Why did you find this place so quickly?" Youshen made a dry voice, feeling very confused about the current situation. Hope hidden in despair is the most difficult thing to find.
But Akhtar came over immediately.
"Maybe it's because I've been here a long time ago." Flames overflowed from the cracks in Ximu's teeth, and he breathed out hot dragon breath and started fighting with the gods present.
If you follow the words of the gods, the process of finding Suna will be very troublesome, but it does not mean that there is no way to speed up the game. The gods decided to do their best to protect Suna, thus delaying the player's loss of humanity.
Therefore, even if the player launches an indiscriminate attack, there is no need to worry that Su Na will be affected and killed, as long as the player can identify what hope is in the indiscriminate attack.
Then you can find Suna's location soon.
This is very troublesome for players who are experiencing it for the first time. They still don’t know what hope is. Even if they attack indiscriminately, they can’t easily find Suna’s location. But for experienced players, it is not a problem.
…
…
The flames flickered.
The box filled with never-ending disasters has fallen into a true collapse. Almost all the gods have fallen, but only the God of Roads has survived.
This is not because the God of Road is very strong. He has not even reached the omnipotent realm, but the power to control the road is very life-saving.
The ability to create paths.
This road can be in the sky or on the ground. As long as the god of roads has that idea, he can create a new road.
This naturally includes the road between the two.
"It's really an interesting ability." Ximu said sincerely, "It's a pity that you didn't use it well."
The God of Roads did not speak, staring at Akhtar. He was able to survive until now not because of his strength, but because he was good at saving his life, and Akhtar had never attacked him first.
However, now his colleagues were burned to ashes.
"I hope you can create roads faster than light." Ximu locked his eyes on the God of Roads, and then swung the Sword of Light. The torrent of light, which was based on a sure hit, instantly crossed the road created by the God of Roads and directly submerged the body of the God of Roads.
The light converged, and the body of the God of Roads turned into ashes.
…
…
Magic Kingdom.
"Akhtar's judgment is really decisive." The Goddess of Lies held her chin with both hands, glanced at Suna who was tied up like a dumpling, and said:
"Don't try to struggle, you can't commit suicide."
"Mmmmm!" Suna twisted her body and made an unclear sound. She didn't want to commit suicide, but wanted to talk to the Witch of Fate.
However.
"It's almost the same as you think." Hecate suddenly said to Suna, as if she had foreseen Suna's thoughts.
The Goddess of Lies sighed: "What a convenient ability."
"Foreseeing fate is not absolutely accurate." Hecate shook her head and explained to the Goddess of Lies, "Akhtar was able to rescue the Saint of Fate so quickly, which was beyond my expectations."
The Goddess of Lies asked: "Did the Goddess of Future also expect it?"
"Yes." Hecate smiled, "She didn't expect my apprentice to be able to rescue Suna so quickly."
Suna: "..."
Now she is in a state of wanting to die but unable to, which should be considered as being kidnapped, not rescued.
"Then the time of burning the tree must have exceeded the expectations of the Goddess of Future." The Goddess of Lies showed a slightly relaxed expression, "Akhtar's humanity may be enough to support the solution to the God of Omniscience."
"..." Hecate did not show an optimistic attitude. Regarding the burning speed of Akhtar's humanity, she had no way to foresee it. It was highly related to Ragnarok. If she could foresee the burning speed of Akhtar's humanity.
Then she could create a relatively good fate.
...
...
Under the Tree of Omniscience
"Wait, don't kill me!" The God of Rain cried out, and used both hands to forcefully pry the hand pinching his neck. His blue eyes reflected Akhtar's cold face, "I won't stop you from burning the tree!"
Ximu said coldly: "Who knows if you will rain to extinguish the flames."
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
The God of Rain widened his eyes. Is this man sick? How can he extinguish the flames of ash? If he had that ability, he wouldn't be strangled by Akhtar with one hand, begging not to kill him.
Ximu didn't care. The flames of ash burst out from his palm, and directly burned the God of Rain into ashes. He cleaned up the remaining gods near the Tree of All-Knowing to ensure that no gods would disturb him.
Although there will be many gods desperately rushing to stop the burning of the tree later.
"Eden, have you decided?" He turned around and looked at the girl in the gray cloak, "It's not too late to regret now."
No matter how many times he asked, the answer would be the same. He already knew this. If Eden could give a different answer.
Then he would be willing to speed run the next round.
