After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 284 - 102: Overlapping Life and Death

"Rather than believing in verbal promises," the white-haired loli pursed her lips seriously and suggested, "it would be safer to erase my memory. That’s the most secure way."

Compared to making a promise, erasing her memory directly was the most likely way to prevent the leakage of secrets. This would not attract the investigation of the Dragon Kingdom and could ensure that the secret remained hidden.

However.

"Ah, that’s right." Xi Mu pretended not to hear and turned to the Witch of Death beside him, saying,

"Regarding your collaboration with the Goddess of Lies, my thought is to agree."

The Witch of Death calmly inquired, "The reason?"

She had already fully witnessed Ahtal’s capability in carrying out plans. Putting aside the incident in the Black Rose Kingdom for now, his handling of the source of fear incident had already shown that Ahtal possessed exceptional abilities.

Therefore, she was willing to listen to suggestions from Ahtal.

"The Goddess of Lies can help you overlap life and death." Xi Mu looked toward the Goddess of Lies, who was smiling beside him, and gave his reason, "Once she commits such a great sin, she will hereafter be your accomplice."

"To overlap life and death, I’d probably be beaten up by the Goddess of Death." The Goddess of Lies nodded lightly and sighed, "If the God of Omniscience returns, He definitely won’t let me off either."

The order of this world was established by the God of Omniscience. He decreed that time could not flow backward; he decreed that the worlds of life and death must be separated; he decreed... the inevitable Ragnarok of this world.

And any existence that violated His rules would be punished.

"Whether the Goddess of Lies is sincere or not is not important." Xi Mu maintained his smile, continuing to persuade the Witch of Death, "What’s important is setting your true self free from the trap."

The Goddess of Lies kept nodding, and with a shallow smile told the Witch of Death, "If our subsequent cooperation doesn’t go smoothly, we can also choose not to cooperate."

"Alright, I’ll collaborate with you." The Witch of Death nodded slightly, agreeing to the proposal. She had originally planned to set a trap with the Goddess of Justice in an attempt to deceive the Goddess of Death out of Hell, or perhaps form an alliance with the goddess of destiny to overlap life and death.

However, since Ahtal highly recommended the Goddess of Lies, she didn’t mind giving cooperation a try.

And the power of the Goddess of Lies was very versatile.

"Then, to save this world." Xi Mu took a step back, clapped his hands with a smile, "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

Something... was off about this man.

The white-haired loli, who had witnessed everything from the side, sensed something unusual about Ahtal. The collaboration between the goddess and the witch was orchestrated by Ahtal himself.

This was nothing like the heroes people knew.

"What’s wrong?" Xi Mu seemed to notice the gaze of the white-haired loli, turning his head with a smile. He saw the white-haired girl instinctively step back, her delicate face showing caution and a hint of barely concealed fear.

"Ahtal, just who are you?" the white-haired loli asked instinctively before realizing that she shouldn’t have asked that.

In response, Xi Mu didn’t mind; he stroked his chin and thought seriously for a moment before answering:

"A human male... with the power of the dragon?"

White-haired loli: "..."

"The hidden mastermind behind the Church of Death, the conspirator with intentions to subvert the world." The Goddess of Lies started speaking with a smile, standing behind Ahtal, her hands on his shoulders, and looking at the white-haired loli with a playful smile.

"All these descriptions could apply to Ahtal."

"If making connections and providing suggestions counts as conspiring to subvert the world," Xi Mu tugged the corner of his mouth, "then that’s an insult to the real conspirators who intend to subvert the world."

The Goddess of Lies blinked slyly, smiling lightly, "Hmm, I’m not joking, though."

The man beside her had facilitated her negotiations with the Witch of Death, and from the Witch of Death’s attitude, it was deductable that Ahtal had the influence to affect the Witch’s decisions. This was very... frightening.

Even if to the Witch of Death it might have seemed like listening to him carried no harm, anyone capable of influencing an entity at the Witch’s level could have a substantial impact on the world.

Calling someone the king’s ear may be an amusing comparison, since serving by the king’s side doesn’t necessarily translate to possessing any real power. However, as long as one can get the king to listen to their wishes, they could influence the entire kingdom.

And given the Witch of Death’s power, if she was willing to accept Ahtal’s suggestions, it meant that Ahtal could impact the world.

So when she said Ahtal was a conspirator to subvert the world, there was serious intent behind her words.

Xi Mu shook his head, unconcerned about the Goddess of Lies’ flattery, and with a serious expression, said to the Witch of Death:

"I will personally visit the headquarters of the Church of Death later, to prepare for setting you free."

He calmly explained.

"After overlapping life and death, All Gods will certainly try to eliminate you outright, so preparations must be made in advance."

"And yet you say you’re not the mastermind?" The Goddess of Lies laughed lightly, "You are the one planning and executing everything now."

In response, Xi Mu retorted, "I’m just offering suggestions; ultimately it’s up to the Witch of Death to decide."

"Agreed." The Witch of Death nodded slightly, consenting to let Ahtal arrange things with the Church of Death. Though she herself had little interest in the Church of Death, if Ahtal was willing to take charge, she saw no reason to refuse.
