After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 468 - 180: The Confrontation of the King of Ash_2
"Don’t trust the Destiny Witch too much," the extraterritorial demon said with a subtle expression. "That woman can’t possibly cover all bases; she’s grown all too short a time."
True, the power of destiny is incredibly strong, essentially reaching the domain of the omnipotent, but the limitation of time has determined the upper limit of the Destiny Witch’s strength. Even devouring the Three Goddesses of Fate won’t change that there’s a limit.
Xi Mu did not object.
If it were a novice player, then Hecate would indeed have enough time to plan her growth and guide the player’s growth.
But now time is compressed to the extreme.
...
...
The boundary of life and death.
"Boom!" The searing Ash Fire circled in the void, condensing into a blazing sun before suddenly bursting apart.
Light swallowed everything.
Flame Giant Surter’s movements hesitated. He had received information from Ragnarok on how to leave the boundary of life and death.
If he wanted to consume this world in half a day, he couldn’t entangle himself with the Goddess of Life, the Witch of Death, and others. Although they were the pinnacle of this world, they ultimately couldn’t represent the world but were only... a minority of lives in this world. Wasting a lot of time on these few was clearly not worth it.
So, after a brief fight, realizing that he couldn’t quickly annihilate them, he changed his plan.
Prioritizing the majority of lives that could be easily wiped out.
"Hum!" The void trembled, and Flame Giant Surter reached out his hand, piercing the void, then tore it with force, plunging into the portal.
What place is this?
Flame Giant Surter stepped out of the portal, took a glance around; this was not the current world he had anticipated but an endless purple grassland with a potent poison in the air.
At a distance stood the Creation Witch.
She sat elegantly in a wooden chair, holding a book in one hand. When she sensed Surter’s arrival, she regretfully put the book down.
"You seem quite interested in consuming life?" she asked, then snapped her fingers. Suddenly, hundreds of bizarre creatures of various types and styles emerged from the endless purple grassland.
This was unlike the ecosystem created by the Goddess of Life.
"Come, try to consume them. I also want to see if life can survive in the Ash Kingdom," she said.
"..." Flame Giant Surter said nothing, hurling a punch at the Creation Witch with a flame that could incinerate, the heat from which instantly ignited the endless purple grassland.
The best way to break free from this inner kingdom was to kill its master directly rather than entangle with the creatures of the inner kingdom.
Otherwise, he would waste a great deal of time.
"Boom!" The punch hit the ground, a terrifying shockwave spread, the earth rose like waves, then dissolved into magma under the burst of high temperature.
Anyone looking from above would see a vast hole in the center of the grassland, endlessly deep and flowing with hot magma.
"Slap." A pat, too light to kill even a mosquito, gently landed on Flame Giant Surter’s cheek. The Creation Witch, who should have been turned to ash, appeared unharmed and even seemed to taunt by patting Surter’s cheek.
Flame Giant Surter’s ruby-like pupils moved, staring at the woman who appeared before him, instinctively wanting to raise his hand to strike, yet his wrist lost the ability to move; he was unable to stir.
Could it be that his body was again being interfered with by the power of life? No... not interference. His life form was indeed solidified, but unnecessary elements had been added on top of the solidification, causing problems in his bodily functions.
His consciousness began to blur, and Flame Giant Surter’s body staggered and fell towards the earth, plunging into the hole he had smashed.
As he fell, his body, once made of lava and flames, turned into flesh and skin, shedding its original elemental life form.
"The power displayed is a bit like that of the God of Omniscience," the Creation Witch’s gaze was extremely calm as she watched the flames suddenly ignite on the body of the Flame Giant Surter, continuously burning its rapidly recovering body.
After reaching her current lofty height, even if her abilities weren’t of the kind that unfolded kingdoms in her heart, she could still expand her kingdom of the heart from a comprehensive perspective.
She also continually added unnecessary life information to the Flame Giant Surter by utilizing the characteristics of her kingdom within.
Theoretically, this would have been enough to turn the Flame Giant Surter into a being with no self-awareness, but the continuous support from Ragnarok allowed the Flame Giant Surter to spontaneously unravel her influence.
Even if the life form changed, it would revert under the correction from Ragnarok.
With that in mind,
the Creation Witch gave up on altering the Flame Giant Surter into flesh-and-blood life and instead input information from the Elemental Life, which contained the subtle life form of "self-destruction."
When facing insurmountable danger, it would self-destruct to annihilate both itself and the enemy.
Information input complete.
"Boom!" In an instant, the body of the Flame Giant Surter self-destructed, with the spreading light and heat swallowing the grassland.
Within the blaze of light and heat, the Flame Giant Surter was resurrected once again, its presence even stronger, and it discovered a method to avoid being affected by the life information that was added.
The previous methods of the Creation Witch were rendered ineffective.
"Even an ant could burn the world down with such strong support," the Creation Witch made such a judgment. She wasn’t particularly concerned about the Flame Giant Surter; killing it would have been a matter of moments if not for the presence of Ragnarok.
"But is this kind of support without limit?" she questioned, altering her attack method. This time, she didn’t add unnecessary life information to the Flame Giant Surter, a method that was no longer effective against him.
Instead, she created a parasitic coexisting life, or in other words... it might well be construed as a virus, except this virus targeted Elemental Life.
The ground, burnt into magma, suddenly had numerous tiny lights fuse into the flames burning on the Flame Giant’s body, then multiplied and proliferated wildly like cancer cells, forming faces that appeared across the body of the Giant.
In but a moment, millions of faces appeared on the surface of the Flame Giant, emitting shrill and unpleasant laughter.
This scene was hair-raising.
"Thump." The Flame Giant Surter knelt on one knee, tearing at the millions of faces on its chest, only to find it had no effect; even if some faces were torn off, more would emerge.
And these faces could also consume his bodily heat.
Bizarre methods.
A troublesome woman.
That was the judgment of the Flame Giant Surter, who found itself, an Elemental Life, sick for the first time... and this ailment was life-threatening.
But it was just troublesome and... bizarre.
With the arrival of support from Ragnarok, the Flame Giant Surter instantly understood the method to break free; its life form underwent a transformation, causing the parasitic Flame Spirits within to die off naturally.
Time passed.
Half a day had gone.
"Lord Ahetar, the ritual is ready," a blindfolded nun lowered her clasped hands and quietly explained to Ahetar, "If you go to the side of the Flame Giant Surter, you can confront him directly."
Xi Mu stood up and drew the Great Sword of Death.
Afterward.
The void was suddenly torn open, and the Flame Giant Surter emerged, its ruby-like eyes locking with Ahetar’s.
