After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 202 - 65: You Should Have Said So Earlier_2
Countless bizarre creatures would become the mainstream of this world, and the original residents would become pets bred by these creatures, or their food.
This was the end that many deities accompanied, with the order of the new gods covering the old world and players and deities together controlling the new world.
Shortly after.
"Are you all okay?" Xi Mu dismounted, looking toward Mist and Eden sitting under a red-leaved tree not far away, fallen leaves all around them as if stained with fresh blood.
That was another weird creature.
However, in front of Mist and Eden, it dared not even move, maintaining an obedient and docile demeanor, trying its best to conceal any hint of danger.
"We’re fine." Eden shook her head gently, while Mist, standing beside her, walked over to Ahtal.
She scrutinized Ahtal carefully, and upon confirming he was unharmed, she showed a relaxed expression and then said:
"The weird creatures that harassed us are all dead."
Despite the creatures appearing rather scary, they could all be killed with a blade; it was just that the sensation of cutting them was somewhat different.
From her perspective, there was nothing special about this.
"That’s good." Xi Mu nodded, then got straight to the point, "The God of Fear has set a condition—if I can learn from the Witch of Death whether the God of Omniscience is still alive, he will open the sealed barrier for us."
This was impossible.
Mist instinctively placed her hand on the hilt of her sword. From her point of view, this was an impossible task—obviously the God of Fear was unwilling to lift the barrier.
Eden, on the other hand, was quite calm and asked:
"Then what do you plan to do?"
"I will at least try." Xi Mu cast his gaze toward the gloomy forest not far away, locking eyes with a woman in white hanging upside down from a tree branch.
"I’m going to prepare the sacrificial offering to summon the Witch of Death." As he finished speaking, the woman in white showed a horrified expression and, losing her grip, fell to the ground.
She then scrambled to flee without hesitation, like a human-shaped spider woman, her pale thighs moving, her black hair flowing like seaweed, and in an instant, she vanished into the underbrush. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
That man was more dangerous than any powerful weird creature she had encountered.
After a moment.
Just as the woman in white thought she had successfully escaped, a pair of silver greaves appeared in front of her, blocking her path.
Looking up, she saw a Knight clad in silver armor holding high the Great Sword of Death engulfed in black flames, swinging it down at her.
Her vision dimmed, and her consciousness ended there.
Xi Mu extinguished the black flames of the Great Sword of Death and began to smear the woman in white’s blood on the magic circle.
Under the watchful crimson eyes in the sky, the summoning of the Witch of Death began.
The Spell resounded, and the corpse of the woman in white burned.
In the blue glow of the fire, the legendary Witch of Death appeared, still wearing her familiar white pointed hat, and her wavy blue hair cascading down. Her cold and mysterious aura was captivating.
Her slender, pale fingers were interlocked in front of her chest.
"Ahtal, what do you summon me for?"
"Witch, it is the God of Fear who has asked me to inquire about something," Xi Mu maintained a smile, "Is the God of Omniscience still alive?"
"That is not for you to know." The Witch of Death responded coldly. She had already told Ahtal whether the God of Omniscience was alive when she allowed Ahtal to get close to the All-Knowing Saintess, hoping to figure out the true nature of the God of Omniscience’s powers.
That was basically tantamount to declaring that the God of Omniscience was not dead.
"So it is information that cannot be revealed." Xi Mu seemed to accept the refusal quite easily.
"Perhaps, you should have a talk with the God of Fear yourself."
He pointed toward the distant castle... no, there was no castle in the direction he pointed, only an ordinary mountain peak.
The God of Fear had moved.
"Let me do the talking." A cunning and playful laugh came through as if time had been sliced, and a masked young girl suddenly appeared. Her light red hair was tied in a ponytail, resting on her left shoulder, giving off both a sly and innocent aura.
"Ahtal, you’re... a bit too straightforward, directly inquiring of the Witch of Death," she said as she removed her mask, revealing her bright and beautiful face and greeting Xi Mu familiarly.
However, Xi Mu wore a puzzled look.
"Who are you?"
"It’s Liliana... the Goddess of Faith." The girl deliberately paused before moving closer to Ahtal.
"I quite like your understanding of lies," she said with an upturned corner of her mouth, in a seductive tone, "Would you like to become my follower? I can give you more power."
"Faith cannot be coerced," Xi Mu shook his head calmly, uninterested in worshipping the Goddess of Lies despite her considerable strength. She was a woman with many thoughts, capable of conjuring dozens of ideas in a minute; maintaining such a relationship was simply too exhausting. Plus, he wasn’t really interested in the Goddess of Lies.
Although the Goddess of Lies was undoubtedly a beauty, and the game officials had put a lot of effort into her character design.
"Faith means nothing to a god," the Goddess of Lies rolled her eyes but did not insist.
She then turned her gaze to the Witch of Death and asked:
"Is the God of Omniscience still alive?"
"..." The Witch of Death gave a cold look. Facing her was not some minor deity easily crushed with a single finger.
So she decided to listen patiently to what the Goddess of Lies had to say.
"Actually, I also want to kill the God of Omniscience." The Goddess of Lies maintained her smile, hands clasped behind her, "If the God of Omniscience is still alive, we could work together to kill him, how about that?"
"For a witch, all gods are enemies," the Witch of Death’s voice was icy cold, but the Goddess of Lies revealed a happy smile.
She covered her mouth and blinked.
"It seems the revered Witch of Death is not good at lying, eh? You seem not to be averse to working with a goddess... No, you have already been cooperating with one, haven’t you."
"Yes, a goddess is already working with me," the Witch of Death responded calmly, her voice devoid of any fluctuations.
However, this made the Goddess of Lies confused, as myriad thoughts flooded her mind.
She had assumed she was the first goddess to approach the Witch of Death about cooperation, but reality was starkly different from her expectations.
Since she was not the first goddess to discuss cooperation with the Witch of Death, then how many had already done so before her?
"State your purpose," the Witch of Death spoke, interrupting the Goddess of Lies’ wild thoughts, with no interest in wasting time on her.
"I just want to work together to kill the God of Omniscience," the Goddess of Lies regained her sly smile, raising a finger.
"Within ten thousand years, Ragnarok will inevitably descend, burning everything to ashes."
Her expression was serious.
"To survive, we must snuff out Ragnarok in its cradle."
"What does this have to do with the God of Omniscience?" the Witch of Death asked. The Goddess of Lies laughed softly and revealed a startling revelation.
"Ragnarok and the God of Omniscience are two sides of the same coin; as long as the God of Omniscience exists, Ragnarok is inevitable."
"So to survive, we must kill the God of Omniscience," her voice was very sincere, without any lies.
But sincerity can be... deceptive too.
The Witch of Death did not believe what the Goddess of Lies said; she would verify the truth of the information in her own way.
Looking at the Witch of Death’s indifferent expression, the Goddess of Lies realized her acting had failed; this woman did not trust her words.
Even though everything she said was true.
"Alright, alright, let’s discuss other matters." She turned to Ahtal, revealing a gentle smile.
"Human, I can help you enter the barrier," she said.
"And the price?" Xi Mu asked, while the Goddess of Lies smiled faintly with pursed lips, slipping off her high heels, her toes wiggling.
Her expression was haughty.
"Lick my foot."
"Are you sure about that?" Xi Mu asked seriously.
The Goddess of Lies was taken aback by his question, seeing no sign of humiliation in Ahtal’s expression, and she quietly put her shoes back on.
"It was just a test of your resolve to save your friends," she deflected, "The promises of the God of Fear are not trustworthy. Even if you find out whether the God of Omniscience is still alive from the Witch of Death, the barrier will not open for you."
She parted her lips slightly, trying to tempt Ahtal.
However.
"Bang!" The distant barrier shattered into countless shimmering fragments, reflecting dazzling light in the air.
Beautiful.
"Now you can go in," the Witch of Death lowered her hand, her voice calm and cool, having said earlier that entering the barrier was a matter of simply lifting a finger.
And so she had shattered it.
