Chapter 229 The Battle Between Zedd and Leticia

Da.

Da.

Da.

In the lightless corridor, there were regular footsteps, accompanied by the dim light clinging to the walls of the corridor.

Every brick and stone that Ximu stepped on recorded the passage of tens of thousands of years of history. The murals on both sides recorded the original story, how humans met the omniscient god, and what great blessings were given by the omniscient god, and obtained the myth of almost eternal peace of mind.

The murals retreated with the footsteps until the last one depicted humans, elves, dwarves, gods, and giants struggling hard in the flames.

Those were the creatures struggling under the flames of ashes.

"Would the original elect have expected that I would come and burn them to death?" Ximu asked the long knife in his hand, while burying it in the opened ancient stone door.

But the split demon did not answer after hearing this, even though he had the ability to communicate with Akhtar after being held in his hand. However, when he thought that he was cursed because the All-Knowing Saint wanted to give Akhtar a gift, he felt bad and lost interest in talking.

Ximu didn't care. After passing through the stone gate, he saw a strange picture. The hollow center of the drooping tree roots was bent into a ball at the end, wrapping many white-skinned humans, who were immersed in dreams without knowing it.

This is the original chosen people.

"Is this also considered God's chosen people?" The split demon spoke actively, his eyes turned at the position of the knife, staring at the original chosen people wrapped by the tree roots.

He had expected the so-called original chosen people, but he didn't think that the so-called original chosen people would look like this.

Wrapped in tree roots, providing nutrients needed for life.

"Akhtar, are you really going to burn them all?" He turned his eyes and looked at the man who turned into the Lord of Ashes.

"That woman hopes you will spare their lives, right?"

"Hope doesn't mean you have to agree." Ximu's ruby-like eyes were emotionless, "I need to use their lives to exchange for a vital piece of information."

He grinned with a vicious smile, flames overflowed from his teeth, and then exhaled a fiery dragon breath, directly igniting all the drooping tree roots in the huge hole.

Really weak.

The split demon stared at the original voters who began to struggle in the ash flames, watching the original voters who had received endless blessings turn into ashes in the flames.

This group of original voters hiding in the shelter of the tree roots is very strong. If they can play their due strength, resist the burning of the ash flames a little, and find a chance to escape, there will be no problem.

After they left the shelter, they were at a loss like a baby who had just learned to walk, and were burned into ashes in the hot flames.

And at this moment.

An extremely fat man broke away from the tree roots. The moment his body touched the flames, his eyes widened, and then his body surface burst into golden light. He resisted the flames of ash and looked around nervously.

Beelzebub.

This is a man who intends to eat the tree of omniscience. Although he has never succeeded, the endless appetite hidden in his heart makes him more concerned about his own strength improvement, so he can react quickly.

"What happened? Is it Ragnarok now?" His pupils reflected the flames, thinking of the prophecy given by the omniscient god.

Could it be that he slept until the end of the world?

Before he could figure out the situation, he found a man wearing silver armor standing at the exit, holding a long sword with eyes.

The man was safe and sound in the sea of ​​fire.

"Hey, how are you safe..." Before he finished speaking, the space was suddenly split in half. Beelzebub burst out a line of blood from his forehead to his crotch, and his body fell into the raging sea of ​​fire and turned into a ball of ash.

"Don't the original voters have a sense of crisis?" The split demon who turned into a knife showed a speechless look. This group of original voters seemed to have no concept of "danger". When they met a strange man like Akhtar, even if they didn't run away, they should be alert to the possibility of sneak attacks at any time. But they didn't have this intention at all.

"It's easier to deal with them this way." Ximu casually swung the split long knife in his hand and directly killed the original voters who occasionally resisted the flame of ash.

This group of original voters is actually not weak. Their physical hardware is better than that of dragons. It's just that they have lived without crisis for tens of thousands of years, which makes it difficult for them to have the concept of danger in their minds.

So the best way to deal with this group of original voters is to use large-scale attacks and kill them before they react.

Otherwise, it will become more difficult to kill them after a period of time.

"It's easier to deal with this way?" The split demon who turned into a knife asked, "Are you Akhtar or the Lord of Ashes now?"

Ximu didn't answer. He swung the split long knife, and the space in the field of vision suddenly split into two halves. A barely surviving original voter was instantly cut in half.

The Slicing Demon who turned into a knife did not continue to ask questions. If someone else used him, he would have to resist or directly control his user, but the man who used him was the legendary Lord of Ashes.

Then he could only serve as a weapon obediently.

Soon after.

The blazing flames burned everyone in the cave into ashes, and the drooping tree roots had already turned into charcoal.

Ximu turned away indifferently.

"Speaking of which, there is something I am curious about." The Segment Demon transformed into a knife glanced at the hole burning with the flame of ash. "With your ability, you want to save the All-Knowing Saint. You should be able to do it, right?"

He asked.

"Use my ability to separate the All-Knowing Saint from the All-Knowing Tree."

"Do you think your ability can reach the level of splitting the world?" Ximu asked back, making the Segment Demon silent.

Unless he reaches the level of omnipotence, no... the level of the Lord of Ashes, it is impossible to raise the ability of segmentation to the level of splitting the world.

It has nothing to do with whether Akhtar is strong or not. His own performance does not support the splitting of the world, and the All-Knowing Tree, which is everywhere, has an existence scale equivalent to the world.

"Don't be too confident in your own abilities." Ximu Wuqing added, "There are many abilities in this world that are stronger than yours, but they all seem very... insignificant before reaching the world-scale Tree of All-Knowledge."

In fact, let alone splitting the Tree of All-Knowledge, it is very difficult to use the ability of the Split Demon to deal with a powerful omnipotent person. As long as you reach the realm of omnipotence, even instinct can resist the influence of splitting.

As for the existence scale of the Tree of All-Knowledge, even if the Split Demon uses the ability of splitting continuously, it is impossible to split the world-scale Tree of All-Knowledge.

It's like someone swinging a knife at the sea, which can indeed cause a certain scale of injury, but it has no effect on the boundless sea.

……

…

Present world.

Sky City.

Letitia opened the window, her emerald eyes looking at the sky reflecting the burning tree, and the dazzling flames were directly reflected in the whole world.

What happened in this world.

"Are you the girlfriend of the Lord of Ashes?" A doubtful voice suddenly came, making Leticia look alertly, only to see a petite girl sitting in the air, raising her hand to greet her.

"The God of Thieves."

"..." Leticia was slightly stunned, and then she restored her demeanor as a queen, and asked the God of Thieves, "You may have misunderstood..."

"No misunderstanding." The God of Thieves waved his hand to interrupt, "The current Lord of Ashes is Akhtar. After you lent the Sword of Light to Akhtar, he embarked on the fate of becoming the Lord of Ashes."

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Leticia seemed to doubt whether she had heard it wrong. She had no way to connect the Lord of Ashes with Akhtar anyway. That man could not become the Lord of Ashes at all.

She had absolute confidence in this.

"The man who burned the tree was Akhtar." The God of Thieves pointed to the sky, "It's useless for you to deny it."

She stared at Leticia and spoke.

"Human, don't you plan to take responsibility?"

"Wait!" A panicked voice came, and Zed hurried over and stood beside Leticia.

She waved her hands in panic.

"The boss is a good man, he can't burn trees."

"It's not surprising that his thoughts changed after being infected by the flame of ash." The God of Thieves retorted nonchalantly, "Leticia, you should make up for your mistakes."

"Even if the boss becomes the Lord of Ashes." Zed mustered up the courage and dragged Leticia behind him, "Then Sister Leticia can't make up for it!"

The God of Thieves looked at his fingers carelessly: "Now Akhtar still retains his humanity, and as Akhtar's girlfriend, there is still value in using her."

The situation has now reached the point of using any means necessary. In order to obtain a slight possibility, the gods are willing to do anything.

It may not be possible to win by fighting head-on.

Then we can only use some more despicable means, such as using people who have a good relationship with Akhtar to affect Akhtar himself.

"Letitia, don't you want to see Akhtar for the last time?" Her words were full of temptation, "The man's humanity is about to burn out. If you don't meet him now, you might meet the pure Lord of Ashes in the future."

Her figure disappeared on the spot.

"If you want to make up for your mistakes, come to the square to find me."

"How is this possible?" Zedd grabbed Letitia's wrist, "The boss can't turn into the Lord of Ashes, Sister Letitia, you have to believe the boss."

Letitia sighed, her emerald eyes reflected Zedd's appearance, and asked: "Sleipnir has been to the Sky City, right?"

Zed turned his head away.

"With Aslaqi's ability to speak, she must have learned a lot of information about Akhtar from Sleipnir." Letitia said calmly, "You often go to Aslaqi, you must have learned a lot of information, right?"

Zed turned his head away and didn't look for an answer.

She did know some information from Sleipnir, such as Akhtar wanted to kill the fire giant, Akhtar was the only demon in history who controlled the flame of ash, and the legendary omniscient saint wanted Akhtar to... burn trees.

This kind of secret information that ordinary people could never know was said by Sleipnir under the guidance of Aslaqi's mature rhetoric.

"Is it true?" Leticia confirmed that the words of the God of Thieves contained a certain degree of truth through Zedd's reaction.

"It's fake." Zedd retorted, "And even if the boss became the Lord of Ashes, it was the result of fate."

She grabbed Leticia's shoulders.

"This has nothing to do with Sister Leticia. Even if the boss didn't get infected with the Ash Flame because of you, there would be..." Before she finished her words, she saw that Leticia's face suddenly turned pale, and she immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing.

If Akhtar became the legendary Lord of Ashes, then the initial inducement must be Leticia. If she hadn't handed the Sword of Light to Akhtar, then the fire giant Surtur would not have been unsealed. If it wasn't for helping Leticia regain the Kingdom of Iris, then Akhtar would not have been infected with the Ash Flame.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Leticia's delicate face was pale to the point of being bloodless. She obviously realized why the God of Thieves said that she was the cause of the birth of the Lord of Ashes and asked her to make up for her mistakes. If Akhtar became the Lord of Ashes because he helped her regain the Kingdom of Iris.

Then she really had an inextricable connection.

"Sorry, Sister Leticia." Seeing this reaction, Zed took out a dagger from under his skirt and stabbed it into Leticia's thigh.

However, Leticia grabbed her wrist in advance.

"Zed, what are you going to do?"

"I promised the boss." Zed loosened his grip on the dagger, and at the moment the dagger fell, he held it with his other hand and stabbed it into Leticia's shoulder.

Leticia took a step back, and the dagger brushed her chest.

"If the boss becomes Shura one day, I will definitely risk my life to stop you, Sister Leticia, from seeing the boss." Zed challenged the dagger holding posture and took an attacking stance. When she parted with Akhtar in the underground kingdom, she promised that if Akhtar became Shura one day, she would definitely stop Leticia from looking for Akhtar. Now is the time for her to fulfill her original promise.

"Zed, do you know what you are doing?" Leticia's eyes became stern. Usually, Zed would immediately become timid when facing her eyes.

But this time was different.

Zed did not waver at all, but showed the mercenary's sharpness and decisiveness, without the slightest wavering.

"Sister Letitia, have you forgotten that I'm a mercenary?" She took the initiative to attack, and the dagger turned with her wrist, stabbing at Letitia's limbs.

"The most important thing for a mercenary is to complete the commission!"

"Jed, you are no longer a mercenary now." Letitia dodged the dagger, but Jed did not waver at all, and there was no hesitation in the dagger in his hand.

In order to fulfill his promise to Akhtar, even if it meant abolishing Letitia's ability to move, Jed would not hesitate at all.

Although she should support Letitia in the righteousness, she is just a mercenary, not a well-educated noble lady, and does not understand the so-called righteousness and benevolence.

Promises are the most important thing for her.
