After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 400 - 148: Abandoning All the Graces Bestowed by the Gods_3
"Is this the truth behind the expulsion?" Adam suddenly felt relieved; no wonder the Saintess never allowed him and Eve to go to the top of the Tree of Omniscience. It turned out to be because he had given up blessings in his past life, losing the qualification to meet the God of Omniscience.
"I have no regrets." He exhaled, looking across at Ahtal with a radiant smile. "Thank you. Next, I will exert my utmost efforts to kill you, and I hope you can... enjoy it."
"That would be ideal." Xi Mu chuckled. He could confirm that Adam would not hold back, which wasn’t because Adam harbored great hostility towards him, but purely to repay the favor, to ensure he felt fully gratified.
Therefore, he would use all his strength to slay him.

Not long after.
The Elf Knightess’s footsteps abruptly halted as she grasped the Elf Princess tightly, only to find herself yanked by an irresistible force towards Doris.
"Wait, what in the world is happening?" The Elf Princess let out a panicked cry, her hand pressing down her skirt to prevent exposure, her expression filled with shock.
"Is the Demon trying to capture us and take us back for a duel?"
"It’s the contract!" The Elf Knightess held the Elf Princess with her back hand, magical circles erupting beneath her feet, pressing hard onto the void; then, the dragging force grew so strong that it shattered the magical circles, pulling both her and the Elf Princess towards Doris City.
"Your Highness, that registration form was a binding contract, as soon as it’s written upon, participation in the duel becomes mandatory!"
"...What?!" The Elf Princess gaped in surprise, her beautiful eyes wide. She had checked the form thoroughly; it was just an ordinary piece of paper and shouldn’t possess any binding power.
"Now is not the time to worry about that!" The Elf Knightess drew her knight’s sword from her waist, her green eyes steely.
"Your Highness, we truly have to face Ahtal now!" As she finished speaking, she and the Elf Princess fell precipitously, and just as they were about to crush into Doris City, their view violently shifted, moving from the city to a scorched and barren island.
Atop a peak of that barren island.
The Elf Knightess saw a silver-armored Knight, holding a greatsword ablaze with black flames, surrounded by corpses burned to white bones.
That was the fallen Hero, Ahtal.
"This is really terrible!" The Elf Princess was on the verge of tears, but she quickly covered her mouth as Ahtal on the peak suddenly turned his gaze to meet hers.
Her heart squeezed at that moment, frightened as if her skirt had become wet, feeling as if she would be killed the next second. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Clear fluid scattered through the air as both female Elves plummeted towards the scorched island rapidly, while Ahtal, as if in disdain, withdrew his gaze, seemingly contemptuous of the Elf Princess’s embarrassing performance, too lazy to kill them himself.
But this was a stroke of luck for the two Elves.
"We survived!" The Elf Princess exclaimed on the verge of crying. In the moment her gaze met Ahtal’s indifferent eyes, she deeply understood why Ahtal was hailed as the strongest Hero; that oppressive feeling made her feel as if she was facing a Demon.
Not being scared to death, merely wetting herself, was already a sign of her courage.
"Your Highness, please be careful." The Elf Knightess suddenly called out loudly, bringing the Elf Princess back to her senses.
She instinctively followed the Elf Knightess’s gaze upwards.
In the sky, there was a black sun, emitting a despair-inducing deathly aura, visibly expanding at a rate that filled the sky within her field of view.
