After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 426 - 161: The Descent of the Goddess of Life
"Perhaps it’s because you are the Water God," Xi Mu said expressionlessly, standing on the Ash Fire with the Great Sword of Death in his hand, igniting a black flame.
He possessed the power of a player, able to establish game rules according to his own needs, thus meeting the requirements of players.
However, this did not mean he could establish game rules without restraint. This was limited by his own level, and also by the magic power consumed by overly complicated game rules.
But if the established game rules were too simple, and highly related to his own strength, then the magic power he consumed could be greatly reduced to a minimal extent.
Possessing the power of the Ash Fire, which could burn everything to nothingness, as long as he used the player’s power to expand the Ash Fire, creating an Ash Kingdom, and then fought people there, not only could his strength greatly increase, but the consumption of his own magic power would also be significantly reduced.
If he had set the game rules to fight in the deep sea, it would not only amplify the Water God’s strength but also consume his own magic power significantly.
Therefore, his choice to unfold the Ash Kingdom was also reasonable.
"Wait!" The Water God suddenly raised both hands, squeezing out a smile towards the surprised Ahtal, "I surrender."
"What do you mean?" Xi Mu revealed a puzzled expression, pausing in his advance to ask the Water God, "You want to surrender to a demon, are you really a god?"
The Water God twitched the corners of his mouth, explaining: "In the past, no demon could kill a god, but now the situation is different."
If it were any other demon, he would never surrender, even if that demon was exquisitely talented enough to pin him to the ground with one hand. He wouldn’t consider surrendering, as he had no concept of death.
Once All Gods came to support, he could still control the winning situation.
But now it was different, Ahtal, who possessed both the Ash Fire and the Flames of a Thousand Deaths, could grant gods true death.
Although in Hell there was the existence of the gods’ birthplace, theoretically resurrecting dead gods, the gods resurrected would not be the same as his current self.
It was a matter of relative ability.
"..." Xi Mu thought for a moment, observing the Water God’s appearance, his gaze sweeping over his handsome face and the eight-pack abs.
He showed a hint of disgust.
"Your surrender is meaningless to me."
"Wait!" The Water God, sensing the murderous intent in Ahtal’s eyes, hurriedly added, "I can be your...dog."
"I refuse!" Xi Mu gripped the Great Sword of Death tightly, striking like a bullet fired, the sword drawing a dazzling arc, decapitating the Water God’s head.
"I don’t need a male god to be my dog." He flicked the Great Sword of Death and moved on to another divided realm.
To say nothing of having a male god as his dog, even if it were a beautiful goddess, he would not agree, only to slay with one blow, turning her into experience points for his growth.
Showing mercy was not something the King of Ash would do.
...
...
In another realm.
"..." Xi Mu fell silent, looking at the weak goddess who was running out of strength to support the barrier and protect herself, "You are about to die."
"Wait, don’t kill me," the pink-haired goddess pleaded to Ahtal not far away, "I pose no threat to you...I am so weak."
Her expression was pitiful.
"I just..."
Before she could finish, the Great Sword of Death had already cleaved down, the pink-haired goddess struggled to uphold the barrier, which collapsed thunderously, her body instantly devoured by the omnipresent Ash Fire, turning into a wisp of ash drifting away.
Gods were never equally powerful beings, not only in terms of the power they wielded but also in the vast differences in the powers they controlled.
The Water God could barely survive in the Ash Kingdom, whereas the pink-haired goddess exhausted her strength just resisting the Ash Fire, and would soon be burned to death if left unattended — as fragile as a delicate flower, easily crushed.
"If there’s a next time, I’ll consider showing mercy," Xi Mu said indifferently, turning to head for the next realm.
In terms of the number of gods killed, there were probably not many in this world who exceeded him, not even the Witch of Death, who, despite being far stronger than him, had not killed as many gods. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
As the blade fell, the gods turned to ash.
...
...
Meanwhile.
In the outside world.
"Found it," the Goddess of the Sword, as if suddenly enlightened, thrust the Holy Sword into the sky, piercing through the void and entering an unknown realm.
Suddenly her expression changed dramatically, she withdrew quickly, avoiding the Ash Fire that poured in from the void.
The fire sloped down from the sky like a crimson river, beautifully contrasting with the twilight of the setting sun.
The Goddess of the Sword flipped over and landed above the clouds, her gaze falling on the land below. She saw the rolling Ash Fire engulfing the mountains like a celestial river, swallowing all tangible things on the ground.
"Ahtal couldn’t be the King of Ash, could he?" The thought flashed through her mind, which she promptly extinguished. The real King of Ash was still sealed in the underworld.
And besides, those who became the King of Ash were madmen, whose hearts were consumed by the thought of burning this world to ashes. It couldn’t be a man like Ahtal.
"Ah, save me!" A cry for help suddenly came from the breached Flame Cave in the sky, followed by a terrified scream, as if facing some horrifying existence.
