After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 286 - 103: The Church of Death Headquarters

Chapter 286: Chapter 103: The Church of Death Headquarters

"If you suffer an irreversible fatal injury by accident," Xi Mu turned his head, addressing the crowd in the square,

"then you can seek out the followers of the Goddess of Death to willingly send your souls into Hell, or...never mind."

He shook his head and did not reveal the other method.

After the overlap of life and death, the laws of this world underwent a massive shift, but that did not mean that death became impossible. Otherwise, if players did not take on the Witch of Death’s subplot, wouldn’t that mean no one could be killed?

There were three methods. One, naturally, was to use the power of "death" to forcibly disrupt the balance of life and death, allowing souls to smoothly enter Hell.

The second method was...to burn, to incinerate someone with Ash Fire, a flame that could consume everything, which also enabled a person to die.

The last was for awakened powerhouses to use their "unique" abilities to launch an excessive attack, thereby causing true death.

And that was why the storyline of "overlapping life and death" was set for later stages because early on, players had yet to awaken their own abilities.

But this last method was the most strenuous one, essentially extending the health bar of NPCs by a great margin, with them also possessing a strong resistance to undeath.

At that moment,

"Lord Ahtal, please tell us the rest of the methods." A noblewoman stepped forward, her hands clasped in front of her chest, accentuating her ample bust, with a young girl holding onto her thigh and looking up at Ahtal with curious and adoring eyes.

Seeing this, the people in the square also turned their gazes towards Ahtal, hoping to learn the methods of inducing death.

There was another method, which was to let followers of the Witch of Death kill you.

The white-haired Lolita thought silently, but did not voice her thoughts. She took out a book and held it in front of her face, revealing only ruby-like eyes, concealing her emotions from others and preventing them from detecting anything.

In this world, only the Goddess of Death and the Witch of Death possessed the power to grant the concept of "death."

So finding the answer was quite straightforward.

"Have the followers of the Goddess of Death lay you to rest, this is the most...effective method," Xi Mu said earnestly, then left with Eden and the white-haired Lolita.

The crowd in the square did not dare to stop them.

They were well aware of Ahtal’s identity, a hero who could solve the demonic crisis, a man who stood against the gods.

In any era, he was a being who had nearly reached divinity, lacking the...courage to pester Ahtal.

Moreover, if Ahtal said so, he must have had his reasons; they just couldn’t understand it for the time being.

They would likely understand after some time.

Black Rose Kingdom.

Underground prison.

A flash of scythe light, and the criminal tied to the stake stared with terrified eyes as a line of blood appeared on his throat; with his head tumbling down, blood began to spurt from his neck.

Sister Sharon slightly frowned as she observed the dead body and arrived at the conclusion she sought: even under the use of the Prayer of Death, death could still correctly occur.

However, ordinary means could not achieve a killing.

"Death has been tampered with," she turned her head, her cold gaze falling on a Knight beside her, and said:

"Currently, only the Prayer of Death can allow souls to pass on normally; otherwise, they will remain bound to this world."

"This is unreasonable." The Knight lowered his head, covering his face, "The Goddess of Death would not allow such things to happen."

"It is precisely because the Goddess of Death does not permit it that such a thing has happened," Sharon said calmly, "Do you remember why the Witch of Death sacrificed us?"

"To draw out the Goddess of Death." The Knight realized, and then immediately grasped the severity of the situation; if the Goddess of Death truly came to this world from Hell because she could not tolerate the disruption of the order of life and death, then the Witch of Death would also be able to locate Hell’s presence, finding an opportunity to lift the seal on her true form.

And this meant the Witch of Death would completely descend upon this world.

"Quite the bold move." He covered his face, feeling a chill, "To draw out the Goddess of Death, they actually overturned the order of life and death of this world."

"Considering the Witch of Death’s grandiosity and magnanimity, this is not unexpected," Sharon unreservedly praised the Witch of Death.

"Next, it might be a showdown between the Witch of Death and the Goddess of Death; let’s hope the impact isn’t too far-reaching."

She walked out of the prison, her high heels tapping the stone floor, emitting a crisp, rhythmic sound, while the Knight left behind glanced at Sister Sharon’s silhouette and then forced his gaze away.

Although Bishop Sharon was very beautiful, her black latex dress highlighting her exquisite figure, it was her cold and merciless methods that were more fearsome than Sister Sharon’s beauty and charm. Perhaps only the deceased Bishop Karen and the former head of the Heresy Tribunal, the legendary hero Ahtal, were able to treat Sister Sharon with warmth.

Meanwhile,

Elsewhere,

The fierce wind swept over the sea surface, where occasional fish leaped out amidst the sparkling waves, and seagulls with wings outstretched rode the sea breeze towards the horizon.

Cold...was non-existent; instead, it felt warm and comfortable.

"The power of the Ice and Snow Goddess seems not to touch the sea," Xi Mu remarked while sitting leisurely on a pony, comfortably squinting his eyes.
