After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 456 - 175 Extraterritorial Demon
Magic Kingdom.
Inside a noble’s mansion.
"Lady Hecate, do you have any instructions?" Estif forehead was beading with cold sweat as she looked at the Destiny Witch not far away.
She couldn’t understand the current situation, seeing as previously she could move freely under the Destiny Witch’s watchful eye without any issues, but now without having done anything, she had been sought out by the Destiny Witch.
"Are you so confident in the gravitational pull of fate during Ragnarok?" Hecate’s gaze was detached as she looked at the beautiful young girl opposite her.
Her rose-purple, short hair concealed one eye, and she had a heart-shaped pattern beneath the corner of her eye, emitting a demeanor that was both aloof and fiery.
It was this girl who had secretly met with her disciple under the gravitational pull of fate of Ragnarok and had seduced her disciple into releasing the Flame Giant Surter.
If she hadn’t consumed the Three Goddesses of Fate, deepening her own understanding and interference with fate, she might still be unaware of the impact of Ragnarok on fate.
"Is there really such a thing as the gravitational pull of fate in Ragnarok?" Estif revealed a seductive smile, and the worry and fear on her face instantly vanished, "So does that mean my guidance to Ahtal was chosen by fate..." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Before she could finish, blood suddenly burst from her shoulder, and her slender arm fell to the ground, the flowing blood staining the wooden floor red.
"Hmm." Estif let out a pained moan, raising her hand to cover her bleeding stump, but her smile grew even more bewitching.
"Are you angry?" As soon as she finished speaking, an overwhelming influence from the realm of fate descended. Estif’s body seemed to be sliced by invisible blades, bursting forth with shocks of blood, as if mutilated by a flurry of wild cuts.
"Cough, cough, I’m... dying." Estif’s seductive smile remained, but her breath was extremely weak, and it wouldn’t be long before she died.
Yet, she still felt joy for this, the wrath of the Destiny Witch was an indication that her actions were right.
Even if the Destiny Witch were to pick her head off and trample it, it wouldn’t change the boundless joy in her heart.
Indeed, Ahtal was the chosen King of Ash.
"You must be the one who understands fate best, right?" She smiled radiantly at the detached Destiny Witch opposite her, the joy welling up inside her overpowering fear.
"What Ahtal will choose, you must know very well, that man will definitely not choose to burn the Tree of Omniscience, he will surely try to kill the Flame Giant Surter and then become the true King of Ash."
"That is the choice of fate. Even if you know the outcome, you can do nothing to prevent it, because none of you have any choice."
"That is the gravitational pull of fate in Ragnarok." Now, she had confirmed one thing: the inevitable fate that came from Ahtal.
Being a hero, Ahtal wouldn’t strike down his own lover, nor would he allow the world to be burned into ashes.
So, Ahtal had only one choice.
To kill the Flame Giant Surter before Ragnarok descended, thus delaying the arrival of Ragnarok.
However, the cost was that Ahtal would become the new King of Ash, burning the world he loved.
Such was the gravitational pull of fate arranged in Ragnarok.
"..." Hecate said nothing, her delicate fingers gently tapping on the armrest, the tapping echoes resonating. The heavily injured Estif was torn apart by invisible forces into splashes of blood, drifting with the air.
Indeed, the moment she witnessed Estif, she had already sensed the gravitational pull of fate in Ragnarok, immediately understanding the fate arranged by Ragnarok.
Yet for all she knew of the fate arranged by Ragnarok, she couldn’t think of a good solution, merely imprisoning her disciple directly, which obviously could prevent the disciple from becoming the King of Ash, but the fate of Ragnarok descending a year later would not change, and the world would be burned into ashes.
Allowing her disciple to make her own decision meant that her disciple would become the King of Ash, personally burning down the world.
No matter the choice, it was a dead end.
[Release the God of Omniscience, this is your only solution.] From deep within her, the voice of the Future Goddess came.
Hecate didn’t heed this, engrossed in her own thoughts. Naturally, she wouldn’t release the God of Omniscience, lest the God of Omniscience personally purge all demons and witches.
This would naturally include her and her disciple.
After pondering for a moment.
Hecate turned into a wraith and vanished from the room — of course, she wouldn’t just sit around waiting for death; she needed to quickly utilize the extent to which fate could be skewed to find a third possibility, a possibility where everyone could survive.
That was also the reason she captured the Three Goddesses of Fate.

...
Meanwhile.
In the grand library of the Magic Kingdom.
"A letter?" Xi Mu raised his hand, accepting the letter handed over by the little mare, and quickly noticed it was from Yasiraqi.
"Why would you send a letter at this time?" He opened the letter and observed that in addition to Yasiraqi updating him on her recent situation, she also expressed her desire to meet with him.
"Partner, you go meet Yasiraqi in my stead." Xi Mu looked at the little mare beside him, handing out the envelope.
"I’m a bit busy now."
"Don’t you need my help?" The little mare instinctively accepted the letter, her voice questioning, now that she was already Ahtal’s partner, possessing the qualification to fight alongside Ahtal.
Xi Mu shook his head, "I can handle it myself, it’s not yet time to need help from a partner."
