After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 239 - 82: For the... Majority, the Minority Must be Sacrificed_2
He casually discarded the corpse of the follower of the Dusk Cult.
"Eden, can that guy win?"
"..."
Eden gently shook her head, looking towards the battle between the source of fear and the Splitting Demon.
To resist the advance of the source of fear, Ahtal shared with her an unexpected piece of news.
Underground in the Fenrir Kingdom, he discovered a demon in suspended animation, and if that demon could be resurrected, there might be hope of withstanding the source of fear.
So she personally went to the underground of the Fenrir Kingdom, found the demon in suspended animation, proposed a trade, and used the power of the Tree of Omniscience to find parts of the Splitting Demon’s soul.
This was also the reason why the Splitting Demon took action to block the source of fear.
"Then let’s just go back to the past," Xi Mu waved his hand, "as long as you can come help me beforehand, we might just be able to stop the source of fear from being unsealed."
He asked in all seriousness.
"We’re going now to finish off Suna."
The atmosphere fell silent.
"Thud!" The sound of something heavy falling, Xi Mu and Eden looked towards the source of the noise, only to see Suna standing there, dazed, with a dagger inlaid with silver patterns at her feet.
The two exchanged looks.
"Suna, I don’t want to kill you." Xi Mu took a step forward, and upon seeing this, Suna took a step back. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
The two took a few steps, one forward and the other backward.
"Don’t be afraid, I’m a good person." Xi Mu’s voice lowered as he explained to Suna, who was looking at him warily, "I already know about your death return ability."
Upon hearing the words return from death, Suna immediately looked at the All-Knowing Saintess, if there was anyone who knew the true nature of her ability before she had informed them, it would probably only be the All-King Saintess.
"I told him." Eden admitted frankly, which relieved Suna. She patted her full chest.
"If need be, I’ll kill myself."
With one arm crossed, she lowered her voice and said:
"And with every reincarnation, I lose a sense. I’ve already lost taste and... touch."
"Is that so?" Xi Mu looked at her skeptically, reached out and pinched Suna’s cheek forcefully. After turning the soft cheek red,
he seemed somewhat convinced by Suna’s words.
"Since you have no sense of taste, how about trying a chili pepper?" With that, he took out a bottle of hot sauce from his ring.
"I don’t really like spicy food." Suna complained, but still, in order to gain Ahtal’s trust, she took the hot sauce that was passed to her.
After unscrewing the cap, she dipped her finger in the hot sauce and put it in her mouth.
"Do you feel anything?" Xi Mu asked, pretending not to understand, watching Suna sticking out her tongue to fan her mouth.
"Didn’t you say you’ve lost your sense of taste?"
"Spiciness is not taste, it’s pain." Eden spoke softly, explaining why Suna felt the heat even though she claimed to have lost her taste.
"What—!" Suna exclaimed in surprise, her eyes tearing up as she glared at Ahtal. Was this man doing this on purpose?
Xi Mu, puzzled, asked:
"Had you ever eaten hot sauce before losing your taste?"
"Ugh, I don’t like spicy food." Mumbling and slurring her words, Suna relayed that she wouldn’t normally consume hot sauce; she only ate sweet things and avoided anything spicy.
"Here, have some water." Xi Mu shook his head and handed a bottle of water to Suna. After she eagerly drank it,
he spoke calmly.
"Now we have two plans: one is to kill Suna right now; the other is to find a way to deal with the source of fear."
"Since the source of fear will destroy the Kingdom of Gomorrah, if we sacrifice the Kingdom of Gomorrah in advance to summon the Witch of Death to deal with the source of fear, we can fundamentally resolve the situation."
"With the power of the Witch of Death, a flick of the finger would be enough to..."
"Deal with the God of Fear." Suna finished the sentence, explaining to the astonished Xi Mu, "If you don’t kill the God of Fear, the source of fear will never disappear."
She pursed her lips.
"We can’t just sacrifice the Kingdom of Gomorrah in advance to deal with the source of fear, nor... can we allow a deity to die."
Xi Mu, expressionless, said, "This won’t do, that won’t do, so what are we supposed to do?"
It was as if he was questioning.
"If we let the source of fear continue to act, more people will inevitably be affected."
"Let’s first investigate the membership of the followers of the Dusk Cult." Eden spoke, shifting the topic with her usual gentle voice, "Only by understanding the composition of the followers can we ensure we stop the source of fear from breaking free next time."
"Then let’s investigate separately." Xi Mu summoned a pony, petted its neck, and said to the two:
"I’ll go..."
Before he could finish speaking, a crimson beam flashed across the sky, obliterating the distant Kingdom of Gomorrah.
Fire soared into the sky, and the Kingdom of Gomorrah was destroyed.
"What is the next kingdom after the Kingdom of Gomorrah?" Xi Mu changed his tone, and then heard Eden’s reply.
"It’s the Kingdom of Donoma."
"Is that so?" Xi Mu nodded slightly, then rode off toward the Kingdom of Donoma, as if he had made up his mind.
At that, Suna hesitated for a moment, then said to the All-Knowing Saintess, "Ahtal isn’t planning to summon the Witch of Death, is he?"
"Given his personality, he will definitely summon the Witch of Death," Eden gave a definite answer, "In his eyes, gods are equivalent to witches."
"But the souls of those who are sacrificed will be eternally tormented by the Witch of Death." Suna bit her lower lip, only to see Eden shake her head gently, saying:
