"Ever since you got the Conqueror's Beyonder characteristics, you have been testing me little by little, planning little by little to make me show up, right? Are you afraid of me?"
She smiled brightly, "Why after so many years, why are you still afraid of me even though you have become a god?"
"Is it because... I was once far ahead of you, because your position as a god was snatched from me, or is it because you have come this far because of your deception and betrayal of me?"
"You've been looking for me for so many years, and I've been hiding from you for so many years. Now I'm standing in front of you, what are you still hesitating about?"
Edward, whose body and soul were gradually recovering, was extremely shocked by the girl's words:
Chike's throne was snatched from someone else, and he was promoted to a god through betrayal and deception - so who is the object of his betrayal, the girl in front of him?
"!!!"
Edward's heart was shocked: Diary!
Suspected to be the diary of another time traveler!
The senior time traveler who traveled to the Quaternary period and took Chike as his younger brother (little sister)!
So, that senior is also a girl like the Goddess of Night?
Or, did she become a female because of taking the potion?
And this senior time traveler is standing in front of me at this moment.
The girl did not wait for Chick's response.
She lowered her head and looked at Edward again with her beautiful eyes: "Edward."
She...knows me?
The girl smiled sweetly: "I'll wait for you in the future."
Chapter 446 Lilith & Lilith & Lilith
"What?"
Without any explanation, the girl looked up at the sky again. Her long black hair moved without wind, flashing with urging light. "Since you are unwilling to come to me, then I will go to the star realm to find you!"
As the voice fell, the girl jumped up, and her figure suddenly became illusory and disappeared completely.
Edward was already dumbfounded: This senior was too powerful, he actually went straight to the star realm to find Chike? !
At this time Lilith said: "Ah! I remember, it's her!"
"Who? Do you know her?"
"Yes, Miss Lilith's assassin potion was given to me by her."
"???"
Edward was stunned. "What did you say? Didn't I feed you the assassin potion?"
"Hmm…"
Lilith covered her mouth.
...
In the astral realm, there is an endless expanse of quiet darkness filled with plants such as moon flowers and night-blooming herbs.
The goddess of night strolled among the flowers and plants, gazing at the roar coming from afar, with a look of helplessness on her hazy face: I thought that thousands of years later, the first battle in the star realm should be fought between me and the God of War.
As a result, I was one step ahead of others.
What's more important is that one of them hasn't even been promoted to a god.
"Heh, Lilith... Lilith... Lilith..."
She repeated the name three times, each time pointing to three different people present.
In another world that was like a mirror, Chick, the original witch who symbolized the darkest part of this world, calmly watched the girl approaching step by step.
"I finally understand."
Chick smiled at him and said, "I finally understand the cause and effect of everything."
"So, when we first met, all the things you said to me, emphasizing that you have a father, a father who will show up sooner or later to take you back... were inspired by this experience."
"It turns out that you traveled through time from the future to the past."
"No wonder, no wonder you have so many secrets, no wonder I have so many questions that I can't figure out."
The girl looked at Chike quietly, "You talk too much. Don't you want to know why I would be resurrected in that way after you killed me with your own hands? If you have the guts, go ahead and see if you can really kill me this time."
Chick smiled:
"…If I kill your future self, will your past self appear?"
"You can try it."
"Aren't you worried?"
"You can't kill her."
"Just because of that woman who was corrupted by the Fallen Mother Goddess?"
The girl smiled slightly: "No! It's because of Edward."
...
In the primeval forest of Blue Mountain Island.
The brief exchange between the senior time traveler and Chick did not mean the end of this hunt. The three demigods did not die after experiencing the lightning storm and Avada Lightning Chain.
Again, once you are promoted to demigod.
Unless they were crushed by someone with hard power that was several orders of magnitude higher, most demigods would not die so easily.
However, the three of them were obviously frightened by Christine's strange method, and for a while they did not take the initiative to attack, but just watched from a distance.
Edward was about to continue questioning Lilith when Christine came over and said, "I have saved you many times. According to the rules of the game, you should give birth to a child for me."
"???"
Lilith's eyes widened: What? Isn't Edward a male? How can he have a child?
"Now?"
Edward glanced at the three demigods who were staring at him eagerly. "Are you kidding? Why don't you just kill them or send me to a safe place?"
"Perhaps, you overestimate my strength."
She said calmly, "I've said it before, I'm not the real Him. Otherwise, do you think the Seven Gods would allow me to talk to you here? Didn't you notice that when I took action just now, that little Sequence 2 escaped unscathed?"
"The evil god controlled by the Mother Tree of Desire was afraid of me just now because he couldn't figure out my strength. Now he has lurked in the spirit world again and can't escape."
Edward
"How to give birth?"
Christine smiled slightly and said, "This kind of thing is very simple for me...isn't it?"
The two looked at each other for a moment.
"Give me a moment."
"OK."
Edward took Lilith into the leather bag. He first tried to open the vanishing cabinet, but as expected... it didn't work.
He then took out the crucible and various other things.
Lilith watched from the side with eyes wide open: "Edward, what are you doing?"
"Make a potion."
"Have you finished digesting the potion?"
"No."
"and you..."
Edward took out a gold coin and threw it gently: "We can't put our lives in the hands of others."
"Lilith, just stay still for a while and don't go anywhere. With [Madman on the Right], you will be fine."
She was anxious: "Edward!"
"Good boy~"
A few minutes later.
Edward emerged from the leather bag alone. He looked at Christine calmly and said, "I'm curious. Since you want me to bear a child for you and you can't guarantee to take me to a safe place, how can I give birth?"
"Giving birth... will be quick."
She took a few steps closer, "You know..."
"I have been waiting for this day for a long time... a long time."
A moment.
Edward felt a twisted, disturbing force emanating from Christine's body and penetrating into his own body.
And at this moment, Edward's tense heartstrings loosened - giving birth to life is indeed the authority of the Fallen Mother Goddess, but when She uses the power of this authority, what is manifested is a kind of pollution.
This was reflected in the original book when Bernadette went to see Emperor Roselle.
As long as it was pollution, Edward had nothing to fear.
No!
Not only is he fearless, he can even return the power of pollution double.
But he didn't act immediately.
Instead, he took a step back and opened the Traveler's Door. "You just said that the evil god hid in the spirit world again?"
"…What do you want to do?"
Edward smiled a little: "I want to play a game with you."
Christine: "…"
"The content of this game is... I'm the one who commits suicide, and you come to save me. ¢Fantasy¢Ji? ¨Chasing\嶵¢Xin?Zhang?Robbery?"
"Of course, you don't have to come to rescue me at all."
The next second, Edward stepped into the spirit world.
Compared with the usual colorful spiritual world, the spiritual world at this time was full of black mucus, and countless black arms were intertwined and wriggling like spider webs.
As soon as Edward showed up, those dark arms seemed to have smelled blood. Endless mucus rolled over and filled the surroundings with a strong smell of pollution.
Edward didn't dare to stay. He quickly tore through the spirit world again and rushed out, coming to the three demigods who were eyeing him covetously. Almost in the next second, dozens of arms pierced through the spirit world and grabbed towards Edward.
Even the three demigods from the Rose School could not withstand the terrifying aura that surged out at that moment.
"roar!"
Siea's roar once again disturbed Edward's soul and body. He shouted without hesitation:
"Mother Goddess, save me!"
boom!
A torrent composed of countless black arms swept past Edward's position with a crushing force. Although they deliberately avoided the three demigods, the three of them were still greatly affected.
"It's the third time."
The smile on Christine's face was gone.
"Keep up the good work!"
Edward laughed and his figure flashed repeatedly. He took the initiative to use the amplified lightning storm in Suea's layers of black hands again, and at the same time distorted the damage it suffered.
He knew that his attack would hardly hurt a Sequence 1 controlled by an Outer God, and he was simply trying to irritate Sua.
Sure enough, Edward's attack attracted a larger attack from Sua, and the three demigods who had spared time also began to assist the Lord of Gods.
"Mother Goddess, save me!"
While shouting loudly, Edward accelerated with Sua's arm and rushed towards the three demigods. Just as they were about to take action, they found that their bodies were swelling again.
As soon as we tried to suppress it with all our strength, Edward's lightning storm, Avada Kedavra lightning chain, and various extraordinary abilities and magics poured out.
"Boom!"
Following closely was the torrent of dark arms of the god Seara, each of which had strange things protruding from it, some were skull heads, some had thorny tongues, and some were three-dimensional eyes.
The three demigods were suddenly submerged by the pitch-black arms. In an instant, the swelling that they had just suppressed turned into erosion and pollution from another force. Their skin became rough like tree bark, and tiny branches grew out of their bodies.
They could no longer care about anything else and desperately tore off the branches and bark on their bodies, with the roots intact, and they were immediately covered in blood!
"Keep going, Siea. Your men will soon be unable to hold on."
"Cough cough cough!"
Suddenly, Edward felt a tightness in his chest, his throat became itchy, dry and burning, and a strong feeling of dizziness followed.
"The witch's disease."
He immediately realized what was happening and quickly used the fire shield to protect himself. When he faced Tracy before, he used this to keep the germs away.
The next moment, the ocean outside Blue Mountain Island rolled up, forming huge waves. The seabed also shook violently, and several fiery red meteorites fell from the sky.
These are all natural disasters caused by the witch!!
Another witch?
And she's an angel-level witch!
Where are the people from the Church of the Storm? A natural disaster is about to happen in your territory. Are you really not going to do anything about it? !
Boom!
At this time, the torrent of pitch-black arms suddenly retreated back into the spiritual world. A moment later, the surrounding air began to vibrate, and a giant tree with a black bark covered with mucus squeezed out of the spiritual world. It was covered with countless branches, and each branch was a pitch-black arm. Above the crown of the tree was a huge head.
The true form of the evil god Suea has arrived!
In an instant, all the trees, animals and plants around them changed. Some died on the spot, some turned into various monsters, and some turned into something similar to Sua. For a moment, this primeval forest was in chaos.
"roar!!!!"
Suea opened his mouth wide and let out a heart-stirring roar.
"Mother Goddess, save me!!"
Christine stood in front of Edward and looked at him coldly: "Are you looking for death?"
"But this game is called 'I'm asking for death, you come and save me'."
Edward laughed, then calmly said one word: "Ya Zi!"
The next second, the polluting power that Christine had previously inflicted on him was returned double.
Christine's expression turned into astonishment, "You..."
Edward laughed and shouted the second word in Giant language:
"Leodro."
He looked up at the sky, laughed and shouted:
"Leodro, come here!"
Chapter 447: Forced Promotion to Sequence 4
Hundreds of thick silver-white lightning bolts fell from the sky, turning this place into a forest of thunder, emitting a strong breath of destruction.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The silver-white lightning bolts as thick as giant snakes struck directly at Sua's body, the three demigods, Edward, and Christine.
"bite!"
Edward popped out the gold coin, "Leodro's Thunder ignores Lilith."
In an instant, endless gray fog reappeared before his eyes, and the magnificent afterimage of Sefirah Castle flashed before his eyes. He once again used the high status of Sefirah Castle to complete the divination, but the result was bound to be negative.
[Madman on the Right], reversal!
Using the [Ghost] of the resurrection stone ring, Edward's spirit left his body. He picked up the potion that he had prepared long ago and drank it in one gulp.
Then he crushed the jewelry box containing the dice, grabbed the dice, and forced it to face up with the number "6". "Next, it depends on whether fate is willing to favor me."
Boom!
Endless thunder swallowed everything.
Including Edward's soulless body, his clothes, and the leather bag on his waist, all were turned into powder in an instant.
At the same time, in the spiritual state.
The moment the potion entered his stomach, he tasted the bitter fruit of taking the potion and forcibly advancing without completely digesting it.
It was a kind of pain that came from his soul and bones. His mind expanded uncontrollably and disorderly, and crazy consciousness grew. He was on the verge of losing control and collapse.
The skin and flesh of his spirit body became distorted, and insects formed from bright starlight crawled out. These insects bent into a semicircle, forming a wonderful light, like countless illusory doors.
"No... You must not lose control!"
Edward forced himself to concentrate and stay as rational as possible in the endless madness.
"I'm just a little bit away from completely digesting it. With the double luck bonus of the mercury snake and the dice... I just don't believe that I can fail in the promotion!"
As if in response to his mumbling, a night sky suddenly appeared before Edward's eyes. In the night sky, densely packed bright stars intertwined to form a dreamy river.
The insects that came out of Edward's body turned into bits of starlight under the shining of the stars. Those bits of pure starlight formed an invisible connection with the different stars in the night sky. As the lights flickered, they twisted and squirmed, breaking away from Edward's body, wanting to join the Milky Way that was inlaid with tiny diamonds.
They each carry a piece of flesh and blood and a bit of consciousness, like uncontrollable clones.
Edward's thoughts raced and became confused, and he could no longer control himself to fight the tendency to separate.
Just inexplicably, an idea suddenly came to mind: let's separate.
Since it can be separated, it can be gathered.
Just like every time I use the Animagus, my body is separated in a sense, but as long as I release the Animagus, it can be restored.
So even if they are separated, they are still a part of me, and when I need them, they can naturally reunite and return to their normal state.
Just as he thought of this, the insects that had crawled out changed direction and injected into his body along with the Milky Way that looked like tiny diamonds. His body then became transparent, and the wriggling and twisting of his skin gradually subsided.
At this time, Edward came to the starry sky again, and not far away was still the door that seemed to have never changed.
Promotion successful!
As soon as this thought arose, the door turned into a sky full of stars, converging towards him and injecting a steady stream of information into his mind.
"No! We can't continue to accept promotion information. The longer we delay, the more dangerous it will be!"
"It must... be interrupted!"
The next moment, Edward forcibly broke free from the stream of consciousness brought about by his promotion, and he returned to reality from the starry sky. Bursts of roars rang in his ears, each of which symbolized a devastating thunder - or the wrath of the tyrant Leodero.
With the blessing of fate, it is impossible for me to remain safe and sound under the wrath of a true god indefinitely, unless Will can be promoted to Sequence 0. And if he really is promoted to Sequence 0, there is no need for him to help me and fight for a "tomorrow".
Sure enough, just as Edward recovered from his promotion, the thunder containing Leodero's wrath struck him on the head.
...
The noises coming from outside Bayam City made Klein tremble with fear.
But he couldn't care about those things at the moment. After a series of sneak attacks that injured the demigod, Klein originally wanted to pursue the victory.
Unfortunately, the consumption of his spiritual energy, coupled with the impending negative effects of Poseidon's Scepter, forced him to end the summoning and return to the gray fog.
He picked up the three blasphemy cards and threw out one paper angel after another to bless Edward in a spiritual overdraft, hoping to gain even the slightest chance for him.
Until his spiritual power was completely exhausted, Klein uncontrollably broke away from the gray fog. He staggered to his feet and looked at the lightning and thunder in the distance, silently making a wish: "Edward, I have done what I can. The rest depends on you."
...
Backlund.
In Dr. Allen's house, Will held his chin and sighed, "Hey, this is not the blessing of fate at all, this is simply a desire to kill me!"
Now I understand what Emperor Roselle meant by "sunk costs". If I give up now, all my previous investments... will be wasted.
