The witch thought I am a Demon God-Chapter 573 - 329: King of Rats (Combined - 4)

Chapter 573: Chapter 329: King of Rats (Combined Chapter 4)

Within this mere meter’s distance, he watched with his own eyes, the existence that Law did not tolerate.

For the first time, Ivita saw something so terrifying that it even instilled fear in him.

This was the enemy of all existence in the world.

Ivita hovered in front of this terrifying enemy, finally recognizing that—

The essence of the Black Death was the enemy of Law, the corruption of politics, the anarchy, the ultimate force that was driving mankind back to a primitive society.

This was the primordial force!

Even though it was a scenario he saw in a dream, he felt a real fear.

Ivita saw that the black sphere in front of him started to transform, wailing and enduring pain, just like every laboring mother, in pain but filled with hope and joy.

This thing that was born amidst the numerous servants of Black Death.

It was merely a placenta nurturing an even higher level of existence.

After the black sphere split open, a tail obviously belonging to a rat emerged. There was not a single hair on that tail, it looked extremely ugly.

The black sphere was expressing, it was singing. ’My king, please descend, trample over nations, destroy everything, kill the ugly and the beautiful, kill men and demons, kill the powerful and the weak, kill the chaotic and the orderly, kill the immortal and the perishable.’

’Kill all Laws, kill all universal laws!’

’This thing happened in the past, it is happening now, and it will happen in the future.’

’It will always be happening, always ending, until all the laws in the world are shattered, man returns to primitive society, loses civilization, and sides with us, the rats.’

Suddenly, a crack emerged on the black sphere, and an eye appeared within it, just like the single eye of a rat. It scanned over many armies and pirates in the Sunken Ship Harbor of Cross Island. "Once I’ve delivered my King of Rats, armies will be useless."

"My king supreme!"

But around the Sunken Ship Harbor, a boy who looked about sixteen years old, dressed in a red guard’s uniform, with a flat-top haircut, held up his knight sword towards the black sphere, waving the knight sword. "But what you said will never come to pass."

"The evolution of mankind has no limits, the goodness of mankind is endless, it is incorruptible by corruption. You, who stand in the way of human societal evolution, are only a hurdle we need to overcome."

"As long as I, the Nutcracker, am here, your plan and your king’s plan will not succeed. All armies listen up, do not fear, armies can defeat all enemies. The power of one person has a limit, but when the power of all is added together, our power is infinite. The power of the Rat King is great, but human power is infinite. It attempts to fight the infinite with the finite, it is doomed to fail!"

Ivita was shocked. The Nutcracker?

Was the scene he saw something that happened in the past, or is it happening now?

The eye on the sphere suddenly shifted its gaze, "Snooping Xia? A prophetic dream?"

"Damn thing."

"You even dare to pry into my dreams, then I will bestow upon you the rat’s curse! This is the curse from the rat—you might have seen it, but you won’t be able to stop me, even if you have the heart to change fate, you will eventually yield to the torment and accept your fate."

Ivita was abruptly awakened, and in the next moment, he got up from the ground and looked around, only to find himself in a narrow stone room with a stone bed inside.

And then there was the ten-year-old girl who was possessed earlier, her mother, the Hearthstone Witch and the Dead Cow Wizard.

Ivita stood up and brushed off the dust on his hands.

Yes, he remembered, he had lost balance of his powers again.

He was supposed to sleep forever, with his divinity taking the upper hand, submerging the essence of humanity beneath the divinity.

However, because his divinity was too strong, he started spontaneously prophesying the events on Cross Island. He had a prophetic dream, foreseeing the arrival of the Black Death and the King of Rats it was to spawn, who would begin the destruction of the entire world.

Seeing that his own Rat King persona was startlingly awakened from eternal sleep, his humanity once again gained the upper hand.

Ivita exhaled deeply, feeling fortunate. If it wasn’t for this, his end would have been nigh.

Indeed, those demons were stealthily scheming, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, they had actually attacked him during the crucial moment the Hearthstone Witch made a pact with the demon.

It seems he shouldn’t underestimate demons.

Today, he nearly met his downfall.

However, he couldn’t really put it like that. Ivita felt that his divine identity and human identity were still one and the same. Therefore, he wasn’t sure if this encounter had actually put his life at risk.

This was somewhat similar to the concept of demon bewitchment.

Ivita felt that his magic power had been doubled. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately began examining his Soul Palace, only to discover that it was already beginning to take shape.

On top of the foundation, there were already six small chambers, and beneath the foundation was a labyrinth filled with chains, Fire Birdman Monsters, gigantic Fire Birdman Monsters and six black pyramids.

Ivita instantly realised that the demons that had previously possessed him had actually become parts of his incomplete Soul Palace.

’To complete the Soul Palace, I need the principles of law. But to gain the principles of law, I need to have an Earl’s territory first.’

Ivita scanned the wooden cabin and saw the Dark Lady of Light, lying on the ground, very weak. He paused momentarily at the sight of a little girl hiding in her mother’s arms, then skipped over the Hearthstone Witch, and looked at the Dead Cow Wizard with a half-smiling expression. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Ivita smiled slyly."Dead Cow Wizard, old friend, it seems like you have seen many of my secrets this time," he remarked.

The Dead Cow Wizard trembled as he looked at this ruthless man, wanting to erase everything he’d heard about the ’True God’ and ’Trap’ from his memory.

The Dead Cow Wizard swiftly gestured at Ivita. "I heard nothing. I saw nothing. I am just a humble wizard."

"Please forget about me."

Ivita remained silent, just staring at him.

The Dead Cow Wizard grew even more panicked. "What do you intend to do? You..."

"You’re not planning to kill me to silence me, are you? I, I promise, I won’t tell The Church about any of this."

The Dead Cow Wizard abruptly clapped his hand over his mouth, realising his mistake. He had inadvertently revealed his fear to the silent Ivita.

He genuinely wanted to report an unknown entity, disguised as a regular human, blending in at the Black Sea to The Church.

Seeing that Ivita remained silent, the Dead Cow Wizard, terrified, blurted out in desperation: "Wait, Lord Ivita, I want to pledge allegiance to you!"

"Fine." Ivita turned his head towards the Hearthstone Witch, then looked at the weakened Dark Lady of Light by her side. "Can you form a pact with him?"

The Dead Cow Wizard shouted in astonishment, feeling that something was amiss.

The Hearthstone Witch, seeing Ivita unharmed, breathed a sigh of relief. "I can. It seems really scared of you. As soon as it left your spirit world, it requested to make a pact with me. It’s even half a rank higher than the previous Hellfire Demon."

Ivita nodded. "I noticed that the little girl seemed to have developed magical talent due to the demon’s possession. Take her and her mother with you."

The Hearthstone Witch said, "You are the Lord of Maple Town. You have every right to do so."

Ivita continued, "Now the situation is quite critical. We need to speed up our efforts to accumulate an Earl’s territory. In the afternoon, we will go to the marshland we acquired today, equivalent in size to a standard Viscount’s domain, and to Viscount Josè’s Territory, to establish our Lordship."

The Hearthstone Witch reminded Ivita, "Joanna warned us earlier. It seems that that area of marshland is occupied by some non-human force. I’ve also heard of a race called Swamp People who thrive in marshy lands. I presume they’re the ones occupying your Death Swamp."
