Chapter 238

So strong!

Such pressure—it's even more terrifying than the jealous witch Sha Ti La!

The folded‑ear cat that had been circling the silver‑haired half‑elf girl suddenly panicked and, shocked, spoke after sensing the spiritual pressure released from Huang Mu's body.

I can conclude that you are not a being of this world…

The folded‑ear cat Pa Ke looked at Huang Mu and said gravely.

Oh? As befits a spirit that embodies the world's origin and the six‑elemental level, you can instantly judge that I am not a being of this world?

Huang Mu heard Pa Ke's words and laughed.

If you were truly born in this world, your power could never surpass the jealous witch Sha Ti La or the contemporary Sword Saint Lai Yin Ha Lu Te·Fan·A Si Te Lei Ya…

Yet the power you now display far exceeds theirs! Therefore I can only conclude that you are not a thing of this world…

Pa Ka looked at Huang Mu and said gravely.

He died during the hunt for the white whale monster, the same day he awakened as a Sword Saint and summoned Grandmother's dragon sword! Because of that, his relationship with his grandfather became strained and has never been good…

May I ask, if this is done, what will become of Pa Ke, the elf? If Pa Ke would be harmed by it, I also oppose your method…

I've already said it: we will incorporate your world into the territory of our world, meaning your world's rules will operate according to our world's noble governance! Moreover, the blessings, witch attributes (authority), and elf (elemental authority) powers unique to your world have become shackles hindering progress. To ascend together to a brand‑new world and discard the old, isn't that better?

This is what I wanted to tell you!

Wei Er Hai Mu embraced the girl, clenched his teeth, and kept speaking gravely.

Then I certainly won't agree…

Lai Ao Tian stared at the affectionate grandfather and Grandmother before him, dumbfounded; if I recall correctly, his Grandmother should have already died on the battlefield…

Huang Mu scratched his cheek, sighed, and said.

Lai Yin Ha Lu Te·Fan·A Si Te Lei Ya, who had his hand on his dragon sword ready to act, froze in place upon seeing the girl's face.

Boom!

So that you can understand more directly…

Te Lei Xi Ya! My Te Lei Xi Ya…

The girl before him is identical to his late wife in memory!

He would never mistake his wife; this girl is precisely the Te Lei Xi Ya who should have died!

Grandmother? How could that be, shouldn't Grandmother already…

Right, I forgot to introduce myself: I'm Huang Mu, and in another world people call a being like me the Death God.

Pa Ke was momentarily stunned, then asked Huang Mu.

You are? Wei Er?

Pa Ka stared intently at Huang Mu and said gravely: "After all, if the world's origin is plundered, this world will cease to exist, right?!"

I will forge all the elves of this world into Zanpoto Blades…

A unified existence?

You, you are…

How to put it? From now on you will become a unified existence…

He will always stay by your side, just in a different form!

Ai Mi Li Ya's expression showed doubt.

Before Lai Yin Ha Lu Te could speak further, the silent, silver‑haired, back‑haired man known as 'Jian Gui' Wei Er Hai Mu·Fan·A Si Te Lei Ya, already tearful, walked toward the girl.

You see, you've misunderstood…

Almost.

Huang Mu said this, drew the Zanpoto Blade at his waist, and casually struck the ground.

After all, his grandfather and Grandmother were his true love; his father and even his birth were pure accidents, a fact well known throughout the kingdom~

If his grandfather had known in advance that his death was linked to Grandmother's, he would have unhesitatingly 'shot' him—meaning he would pin his father to the wall, thereby fundamentally preventing their birth…

If you interpret it that way, that's fine too!

How should I put it?

The next second, accompanied by a booming sound…

Huang Mu turned to Pa Ka and asked.

Heh, all the witches', elves' and blessings' powers?

Te Lei Xi Ya! No doubt, you are the true Te Lei Xi Ya…

The girl, after recognizing the newcomer, was first stunned, then her expression turned passionate as she rushed toward Wei Er Hai Mu.

What I will oversee is your world after death; that is, while you live I will not interfere, but once you die you will uniformly fall under my governance…

A girl with bright red long hair, a pretty cute face, her hair tied into twin ponytails, appeared before everyone…

Before Pa Ke could speak, the half‑elf Ai Mi Li Ya who followed him stepped forward and asked Huang Mu.

Huang Mu looked at Ai Mi Li Ya and explained.

"You're right…" Huang Mu heard this, nodded lightly, and replied honestly: "I indeed come from another world; my purpose here is simple—to incorporate this world into the territory of our worlds. For that I need to reclaim all the witches', elves' and blessings' powers. You don't mind, do you?"

So you intend to seize this world's origin?

Huang Mu looked at Lai Ao Tian and explained.

"Death God?"

Lai Ao Tian was stunned…

Obviously, his composure was shaken by Huang Mu's words.

While Lai Yin Ha Lu Te was stunned, the 'Jian Gui' Wei Er Hai Mu, clutching Te Lei Xi Ya and unwilling to let go for fear she would vanish, looked at his grandson and roared: "Lai Yin Ha Lu Te, what are you waiting for? Hand over your dragon sword to this Death God! Since the Death God wants it, why hesitate? You ungrateful descendant!"

"I…"

Lai Aotian heard the words, and the corner of his eye twitched slightly.

He said, his birth was definitely an accident!

"You can't say that, Lai Yin!"

Before Lai Aotian could speak, the girl who had been held in Weierheim's arms, already fuming, said to Weierheim: "You know, my death has not the slightest connection to Lai Yin; don't blame Lai Yin for my death! If anything, it's those annoying Witch Cultists who caused it…"

At this point, the girl still turned her head toward Lai Yin Hart and whispered, "Little Lai Yin, don't anger your grandfather; he's just too impatient!"

"Grandmother, I understand…"

"Sorry, that even after your death you remain unsettled because of your concern for me!"

After hearing the girl's words, Lai Yin finally realized that the girl before him was his grandmother.

For no other reason, Lai Yin possesses a Blessing that sees through illusion, meaning hallucinations are meaningless to him! In addition, he has a Blessing that discerns the truth of others' words, so lying before him is futile! Just now, after confirming Araki's identity, he also received from the world a Blessing that attacks souls, and a Blessing for covert operations against deities, capable of slaying gods…

Indeed, he is Lai Yin Hart, the contemporary Sword Saint and also the strongest Sword Saint in history! He is the power ceiling of this world, popularly called the World's Daddy, Lai Aotian!

Lai Aotian exists in this world as a suppressing force; even if all who oppose him were bound together, they could never defeat him. To withdraw unscathed from his grasp, or to draw even, is already the best outcome…

That is why Araki chose to negotiate with Lai Aotian: not because he cannot beat Lai Aotian, but because fighting him would be troublesome…

If it were a kill, Araki could slay Lai Aotian with a single stroke, but after Lai Aotian's death the Phoenix Blessing would revive him! Once the Phoenix Blessing is exhausted, it automatically grants a Phoenix Blessing Continuation! Then it repeats endlessly like nested dolls—after each continuation finishes, another follows, and so on, an endless, nauseating cycle…

To completely eradicate the pest Lai Aotian, Araki can only choose world annihilation, destroying this world entirely! It's simple: with his current power, Araki could instantly ruin the world, but that does not align with his goal…

"In any case, joining us would be a cause for everyone's happiness~"

Araki looked at the crowd and spoke.

"Sorry! I'm not interested in what you say…"

"In this life, I'm only interested in the intestines I love~"

Unfortunately, just when Araki thought the crowd was about to agree, the huntground woman Elsa, also known as Chang Jie, suddenly spoke.

"What a hassle! Never mind, I'll first send you to reincarnation!"

Araki said, extending a finger toward Chang Jie.

"Puff…"

In an instant, Chang Jie's abdomen was pierced, and countless crimson fluids slowly flowed out from the opening…

"Ah! So warm, the most beautiful thing in the world is actually inside my own abdomen?!"

Chang Jie looked at the crimson flowing from her abdomen and gave a serene smile.

Hmm, Chang Jie departed very peacefully…

Soon after, Chang Jie's spirit detached from her corpse and appeared beside the crowd; this time she was very quiet, seeming already satisfied~

"Phew, the troublesome matter is resolved…"

After solving Chang Jie's problem, Araki slowly exhaled.

"In short, that's how it is…"

Araki looked at the crowd and said softly.

"What is your decision?"

Araki addressed the crowd with a question.

"Your sword!"

Lai Yin Hart directly tossed his sword to Araki.

"Thanks! I will now strip the Blessing from you…" Araki said to Lai Yin Hart, "Do not resist!"

"Rest assured~"

Lai Yin Hart replied cheerfully.

"Hmm…"

As Araki nodded, he directly plundered from Lai Yin Hart's body the portion he needed.

"And the authority of the spirits, I will also take…"

"No problem, right?"

When Araki said this, he looked at Emilia.

"I…"

Emilia's expression was somewhat hesitant.

"No problem! As long as I can stay with Emilia forever, I don't mind~"

Park answered cheerfully; at his level, he no longer cared about life or death.

"I will forge you into the blade spirit of a Zanpodo…"

Araki agreed to this.

Then Araki seemed to recall something, and reminded Lai Yin Hart: "By the way, Lai Yin Hart, that little girl is a descendant of your country's royal family! Pay attention to that…"

"What did you say?"

Lai Yin and Te Wenyan were stunned. Although Lai Yin and Te voluntarily abandoned the world's Blessings, they could still vaguely discern whether others were lying…

Precisely because he knew Araki wasn't lying, he was shocked!

"Thank you for your help!"

Lai Yin Hart said, then walked toward Firute.

"What will you do to me? I will never betray my own body…"

Firute felt Lai Yin Hart's fiery gaze and stubbornly said.

"Sorry! My apologies…"

Lai Yin Hart first placed the Royal Selection Badge in Firute's hand; upon seeing it glow and confirming Firute's identity, he knelt on one knee and said softly, "Princess, I am late! I have caused you suffering outside…"

"Princess?!"

Filute was stunned; she never imagined she would be this country's princess.

"You already knew that?"

Filute said, looking at Aramoku.

"After all, I'm a god! Knowing this isn't a big deal, right?"

In response, Aramoku tried to persuade Filute.

"What are you going to do next?"

Reinhardt looked at Aramoku and asked doubtfully.

"I have to go collect the Witch Factor! According to you, that probably means exterminating the Witch Cultists! How about it, do you want to come along?"

Aramoku looked at Reinhardt and inquired.

"No! I have something more important right now..."

Reinhardt answered truthfully.

"Well then, goodbye! But we probably won't see each other for a short time..."

"However, even if the rules change, you'll become this world's top powerhouse, which means we'll eventually meet again~"

Aramoku looked at Reinhardt and evaluated.

With Reinhardt's potential and strength...

Once this world is incorporated into the rules of his world, for Reinhardt it's not only not a bad thing but an achievement! He will continue cultivating to First-Class Spiritual Might, possibly even becoming a transcendent who lives as long as heaven.

"Come on! Let's go exterminate the Witch Cult~"

"By the way, isn't the witch worshipped by the Witch Cult you?"

Aramoku looked at the Jealous Witch Satella beside him and said.

"Well, they have nothing to do with me! They're just a bunch of self-satisfied people!"

Satella snorted coldly, speaking dissatisfiedly.

"Well then..."

Aramoku ignored Satella, his gaze locked on all the Great Sin Bishops!

However, just as Aramoku was about to take further action...

"Pfft~"

A streak of scarlet filled Aramoku's vision...

This left Aramoku stunned!

Only seeing the Sword Devil and his wife Terexia exchange a few words, he suddenly became excited for some reason and then committed suicide...

The next second, a youth with black hair and a handsome, charming appearance appeared beside Terexia; he took her hand and earnestly said, "Terexia, this time we will never be separated!"

"Mm~"

Upon hearing that, Terexia embraced the young Sword Devil.

"Ah this..."

Aramoku watched the scene, pursing his dry lips.

So, is this the power of love?!

Indeed, it's terrifying!!
