Chapter 234: (11,000 Words Black Myth Lottery!) Witch, This Is How You Use Her!

~33 min read 6,472 words

"No, no, what's going on!"

The Abyssal Eye Witch looked on in terror as her body disintegrated bit by bit.

Annihilated into particles, merging with the Abyss Blade into one.

And the most outrageous thing was, despite such a terrifying sight.

She felt not a trace of pain; on the contrary, there was an indescribable pleasure.

On her face that should have been in agony, a flush appeared—the kind that only shows when a girl transforms.

Her vacant eyes were charming like silk, and between her clashing lips and teeth, she murmured delirious words.

"I... have been opened..."

"No, don't..."

The Lilith Cat floated over, eyes wide: "Ah? This, this isn't right?"

"Your art style, why does it feel like you've entered the Inside World?"

"Hehe, I see." Big Boss's mouth corner rose, revealing a warm and sunny smile: "Watch closely, Abyssal Eye Witch, this is how you use it!"

Speaking, he suddenly gripped the dagger's hilt! The next moment, gray-white flames ignited in his palm.

And a cold chain also appeared around the Abyssal Eye Witch's neck, binding her tightly.

"Impossible, how is this possible, the Abyss Blade actually considers him Master?"

"Then what am I?"

The witch girl moaned, knowledge she had never mastered flashing through her mind—

She is the Abyss Blade.

The Abyss Blade is her.

She is a god-slaying weapon.

She is the ultimate sealed Relic.

This is her destiny.

"I, I... I actually..."

"So..."

"No, don't, don't..."

With a soft moan, the witch girl raised her head, tears flowing along her exquisite jawline all the way to her slender swan neck.

A string of characters she had never learned appeared in her mind.

But strangely, she could understand the meaning of every word.

"Every witch has her meaning of existence."

"Your meeting with him is both an accident and fate."

At this moment, the Abyssal Eye Witch finally realized that, whether willingly or not, this is destiny.

She tilted her head, looking at Big Boss gripping the dagger, her eyes trembling.

So, this is my destiny? To become his exclusive dagger? If this is my fate, then with him, it's fine...

It's just...

I always feel a bit uncomfortable...

The witch girl closed her eyes, resigned yet humiliated, feeling her body being reshaped into a weapon.

But half a minute later, the imagined outcome did not arrive.

The collar on her neck suddenly shattered.

She blinked open her eyes, and the boy before her was smiling gently at her.

"You, why did you stop?"

She was confused.

"Because your expression looks like you're in pain."

Big Boss smiled sunnily, twirling her hair with his finger.

"I..."

The Abyssal Eye Witch turned her face away.

Isn't that naturally painful? If you were turned into a sword, you'd feel pain too.

"Do you know what you're doing?" She thought for a moment, then asked.

"Of course I do." Big Boss wiped the tears from the corner of her eye: "Yes, from the moment I gripped the hilt, I knew."

"Then why did you let go?"

"Didn't I say, because you're in pain."

"No, I mean, do you really know what you gave up?" The Abyssal Eye Witch looked at him, confused: "As long as you persist a little longer, you will become the witch's master."

"That's a witch, possessing power ordinary people cannot understand, able to—"

"Witch Miss, do you like becoming someone's object?" Big Boss suddenly interrupted her.

"I..." The Abyssal Eye Witch was stunned, then showed a bitter smile: "This is my destined fate—"

"Do you like it?"

Her words were interrupted again; the Abyssal Eye Witch fell silent for a while, then spoke softly: "No."

She had lived as a human for thousands of years, and now suddenly told she was actually a dagger...

How could she like it? "Since you don't like it, then we won't do it." Big Boss gently rubbed her ears: "Fate or whatever, let it go die."

"Hehe." The Lilith Cat clapped beside her: "Come trick, come sneak attack, right? If you let her go for this reason, I, Lilith, will take your surname! Abyssal Eye Witch, you can't trust him, he's a scumbag, a scumbag!"

"However, why did this rising Dong Xi end the ritual?"

And the Abyssal Eye Witch, too, looked straight at the youth before her.

"Li Cheng……"

Wanting to see from the depths of his eyes even a shred of falsehood or greed.

But there was none.

She saw only endless gentleness.

At this moment, the witch's heart trembled.

That was not because of worship, nor was it favorable feeling born of shared ideals.

But another, different kind of emotion.

She unconsciously turned her head away, not even daring to look at Li Cheng's eyes, then murmured softly: "Tanihil Roberts……"

Hearing these words, Li Cheng's finger twitched slightly, but immediately returned to normal.

What the witch just spoke was Ancient Mage Language, the meaning being——

"If only you weren't her man."

This language, Li Cheng had spent some spiritual power learning during his time at Full Moon Academy.

This is the advantage of being a player; spells and languages that NPCs need vast amounts of time to learn, Li Cheng only needs to find the books, then hand over resources and it's enough.

The Abyssal Eye Witch stole glances at Li Cheng a few times, seemingly wanting to confirm whether he had understood what she said.

Discovering he had no reaction, she breathed a sigh of relief while simultaneously feeling a hint of disappointment.

Li Cheng ah Li Cheng, I can no longer tell clearly just what kind of feelings I have for you……

"Right, Miss Witch."

"Ye."

"Hm?"

"My name is Ye." The Abyssal Eye Witch tucked her messy hair behind her ear, gaze evasive: "You can call me Xiao Ye."

"Late-night snack?" Li Cheng was greatly shocked.

This producer, how did they give her such a lousy name?

This naming sense is way too abstract.

"Does it sound bad?" Xiao Ye's voice was a bit hoarse.

"Hm……" Li Cheng shook his head: "Sounds pretty tasty."

"You're saying weird things again……" Xiao Ye pursed her lips, the bashfulness on her face growing more and more.

The word tasty……

Is something a husband says to his wife, right……

"You nuo yi, kua lang si…… (Hateful natural airhead, how can this kind of thing be said to the wife's best friend……)"

Li Cheng raised an eyebrow imperceptibly.

This Abyssal Eye Witch, in the PC Version, also had a persona of liking to use Ancient Language to show off her learning.

But it was all for chuunibyou posturing.

For example, when assisting the player as reinforcements against a BOSS, she would use Ancient Language to drop a line or two like "Since it's like that, I'll just become a sovereign."

"Specially bestowing upon you, Destined Death," to appear very imposing.

Didn't expect that in this version, she would actually use Ancient Language to speak her inner thoughts……

What counts as this? A contrast?

Or a moe point?

Perceiving the time, Li Cheng thought for a bit, then gripped the Abyssal Blade again, rubbing the hilt a few times with his fingers: "That, actually I just now——"

"Ah~" Before the words were finished, Xiao Ye suddenly let out a delicate moan, her whole body going limp as she collapsed onto the ground.

"What's wrong with you?"

"No, no…… rub……" Xiao Ye's breathing was rapid, legs intertwining, eyes hazy.

"Rub? Rub here?" Li Cheng rubbed the hilt a few times with both hands.

"Mhm~ne~~" Xiao Ye's breathing grew even more rapid, mouth slightly open, exhaling hot air: "No, don't……"

"Don't stop?" Li Cheng rubbed the hilt a few times again.

"Stop, stop!" Xiao Ye summoned all her strength, crying out delicately: "I, I can't take it anymore!"

"Oh, you mean don't let me continue, why didn't you say so earlier……" Li Cheng smiled harmlessly.

"I……" Xiao Ye quickly sat up, snatched the Abyssal Blade back into her hands, leaned against the wall, and looked at Li Cheng with resentment.

She couldn't quite figure out whether Li Cheng did it on purpose or unintentionally.

Thinking it over, the witch still leaned toward Li Cheng being too much of a natural airhead.

Because even she herself didn't know why, when rubbing the hilt, she would have such a strange Zi Xing.

Since even she didn't know, how would he know?

Besides, if he really had ill intentions toward her, he could have just completed the ritual directly a moment ago, why wait until now? So this is just a not-so-wonderful misunderstanding.

Hm, doesn't count as……

Not-so-wonderful.

She rubbed her legs together twice, trembling as she said: "Hm, you go rest, I need to prepare, time's almost up."

Very obviously, the witch didn't dare speak with Li Cheng anymore.

She was afraid that if she kept interacting with this natural airhead, she wouldn't be able to hold herself together.

"Hm, but before that, I think you'd better inspect that dagger." Li Cheng smiled.

"Dagger?" Xiao Ye looked at the Abyssal Blade, puzzled.

She's used this weapon for thousands of years — what new tricks could it possibly have?

The next instant, her pupils shrank sharply, leaving her dumbstruck.

The Abyss Blade gained a new ability — 【At this very moment, she meets her master once more, and that power to seal all life returns to her.】

【Of course, power forever abides by the rules of Equivalent Exchange.】

【The stronger the target you wish to seal, the greater the price you must pay.】

That's right — this was the ability the Abyss Blade possessed back in the City of Deception.

But the divine artifact lost its first master, and with it, this strongest ability.

Now, with the seal lifted, she has reclaimed this Authority.

Not only that, Xiao Ye gripping the Abyss Blade felt an unprecedented sense of familiarity.

As if this were no longer a weapon, but a part of her own body.

This left Xiao Ye somewhat hurt.

I've used this blade for thousands of years and never saw it evolve.

You just touch it once and it evolves? The way you do things makes me look extremely foolish, extremely weak...

Not to mention, she could also feel that if the ritual were completed thoroughly, once she became the Dagger, she would gain even greater power.

"Is this my destiny...?"

The witch's hand rested on her chest, lips slightly pursed.

But regardless, with this sealing ability acquired, her chances of winning increased considerably.

Perhaps... she really could survive...

She closed her eyes and began gathering power.

On the other side, Li Cheng also sat with eyes closed, resting his spirit.

The ritual just now — he never intended to let the Abyssal Eye Witch off.

After all, she was a witch fragrant with meat, juicy and wonderful; if there was a chance to take her as a weapon spirit, he naturally wouldn't miss it.

Besides, that Abyss Blade was originally his own thing.

Now, it was merely returning to its original owner.

Pity that, because of the Tear Drop in Xiao Ye's body, she was judged as only half an Abyssal Eye Witch, unable to complete the ritual.

That's right — the ritual actually failed, rather than Li Cheng giving up.

He merely thought quickly on his feet, putting on an act of deliberately respecting the witch.

This way, he could still raise her goodwill a bit, in case she developed resistance during the next ritual.

Judging by the results, the effect wasn't bad.

"Hmm, I must kill Tal, resolve the Tear Drop inside the Abyssal Eye Witch's body, before I can turn her into my weapon." Li Cheng murmured: "Tal, you've already chosen the path of death-seeking."

"Lilith, get ready — what comes next depends on you."

"Pfft..." The ragdoll cat swallowed hard, its large cat eyes full of nervousness.

Damn it, I, the dignified Savior Goddess, actually reduced to bait for entrapment — truly hateful to the extreme!

Just you wait, Rising Dong Xi — once I, Lilith Cat, cultivate to godhood, I'll definitely trample you ruthlessly underfoot, meow!

Wrong, no meow! — 40 minutes passed very quickly.

The Abyssal Eye Witch and Li Cheng had already sneakily infiltrated back into the laboratory.

Calling it infiltration, but in reality it wasn't much different from walking back openly.

After all, Xiao Ye's body contained a Tear Drop's kin; wherever she hid, she could be found.

Only, those newly born Tear Drop juveniles, presumably on Tal's orders, didn't attack the two again, letting them pass.

"Hehe, you're back."

In the center of the laboratory, Tal lifted his head, smiling mockingly, eyes full of ridicule.

"Finally stopped hiding? Realized this game of cat and mouse has no meaning at all?"

His left arm was connected to Tifeng's mother-and-daughter, injecting liquid metal into them.

Clearly, his method of reviving Blood-stained Rose was to convert her into his own kind.

Seeing the two arrive, Tal showed no tension of encountering enemies whatsoever, not putting them in his eyes at all.

"I'm curious." Li Cheng halted: "How do you plan to explain my disappearance to the Wrathful Father God?"

"Why would I need to explain?" Tal mocked: "You don't think our meeting was coincidence, do you? Hehe."

"Fury Burst, you're wrong — I've been watching you all along, precisely speaking, watching you confidants of the Wrathful Father God."

"I was waiting for an opportunity — for you to enter this Treasure Vault."

"That way, I can convert all of you into my kind."

"You want... me to go undercover beside the Wrathful Father God?" Li Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"Correct. Not just you — I'll use you to convert those Divine Generals one by one into my kind, and finally... hehe." Tal covered his face, laughing maniacally: "Turn that Wrathful Father God into my great master's Servant too, hahahaha!!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ye's expression grew worse and worse.

She never expected this bastard's plan to be terrible to such a degree.

The Wrathful Father God alone was already hard to deal with.

If the Wrathful Father God were converted into this near-immortal monster, where would Tianming Continent have even a shred of a chance to win?

"I wouldn't advise you to do that." Li Cheng merely shrugged.

"Oh?"

"Think about it — the Wrathful Father God is stronger than you, has more resources, and is the Abyss's confidant. If he also completes the metamorphosis, where would your place be?"

Li Cheng smiled mockingly.

「……」Tal was stunned upon hearing this, his eyes twitching a few times, but then he broke into a grin: 「So what? Does it matter whether I have a place? What matters is serving my Master. 」

「As long as my Master can descend, then my existence has meaning. 」

His posture was devout beyond measure, and even a light named Loyalty appeared in his eyes.

「That would be strange. 」Big Boss said doubtfully: 「Your Master, hasn't He already descended? 」

「Hmm? 」Tal was stunned again, then narrowed his eyes.

「Isn't that so? He descended into the body of that female Elf Race Lei Ha Na, waiting for your rescue. 」

「You……how did you know? 」Tal looked at Big Boss, the devotion on his face turning to doubt.

Guessed right, indeed it was like that! 「Hehe, you guessed? 」Big Boss said while spreading his hands: 「By the way, compared to this, I want to know more: won't your Master really be angry? 」

「He originally wanted to descend into this World, but was locked in that gloomy damp darkness, losing his Freedom. 」

「And all of this, it's all because of you, because of your Negligence, he endured such pain. 」

「You say, after he comes out, will he give you a reward, or will he give you punishment? 」

「You, you, what nonsense are you talking! My Master, my Master He……」Tal looked at Big Boss, the calm composure on his face gone, instead becoming extremely Nervous.

「Hey, you actually still have a choice. 」Big Boss smiled: 「Have you ever thought, you already possess a perfect life, and that god who could restrain you has also been locked up. 」

「You are Free, why don't you live for your Own Body? 」

「Seize a World belonging to yourself, use your methods to Manufacture more of your kind, continuously Evolve, become an even stronger life, don't you think, this is the better choice? 」

Big Boss's words were like a Demon's whisper, tempting Tal to become Depraved.

He stared at Big Boss, continuously swallowing saliva.

As if truly considering the feasibility of this matter.

「One side is living for yourself, creating your own myth, one side is living for your god, welcoming the future between life and death, which one do you want to choose in the end? 」Big Boss approached him, smiling sincerely: 「Are you really as Devout as you think yourself to be? 」

「I……you, you don't come over, you don't come over! I am my Lord's loyal servant, I will absolutely not Betrayal. 」

Tal was Shaky, and along with him, the Tear Drop Larvae crawling around also began to moan violently.

Abyssal Eye Witch looked at Big Boss's Back View, thinking of the words he had said before, extremely Nervous.

「Really? Then let me change the way I ask, your Master is trapped in prison, with no method to deal with you. 」Big Boss smiled: 「Do you think, do you have the possibility, to take his place? 」

「Take his place……」Tal murmured.

「Right. 」Big Boss smiled: 「He can become a god, can't you? 」

「I can't……」

The distance between the two grew closer and closer, Tal's voice also grew more and more Shaky.

He seemed to be tempted by Big Boss, standing there Stunned, head bowed.

And Big Boss also walked to his In Front of: 「How about it, I can help you, help you become a god, help you kill your Master. 」

「Is that so? Then thank you very much. 」Tal's head suddenly lifted, then his right hand reached forward, transforming into Liquid Metal, stabbing toward Big Boss's chest.

And on his face, there also revealed the madness of a successful plot.

「Hahahahaha, Nu Bao A, you really thought, with just a few words, I could Betrayal my Master? 」

「This is only a performance I let you come to the door for, hahaha, it's over, become part of me! 」

Correct, everything just now was his performance to mock Big Boss.

He wanted to make Big Boss, under the situation where he thought he had already won, die with hatred.

Such deep fear would become his food, making him stronger and stronger.

「I will savor your fear well, hahaha! 」

But unexpectedly, that imagined Must Kill Strike did not work.

This strike, so close at hand, almost impossible to miss, actually brushed past Big Boss's chest. Not to mention piercing his body, even tearing his Clothes, it could not do.

Big Boss had both hands in his pockets, with a Sunshine smile on his face: 「Hehe, Tal, your Dragon's Strength is truly as small as your ambition. 」

「No Wonder, you would imprison your own god in a cell. 」

「Hehe, a guy who only knows how to talk, die! 」

Tal also did not expect his own Must Kill Strike would actually be dodged.

But it doesn't matter, he was very clear, this kid In Front of him had Dragon's Strength far inferior to his own.

In close combat, he would definitely die.

Thus, his limbs instantly transformed into countless sharp blades, slashing toward Big Boss's head, heart, limbs.

「Not good! 」

Abyssal Eye Witch cried out in surprise.

At such a close distance, even if her Spiritual Power was not imprisoned and she could use teleportation magic, it would be difficult to dodge.

Moreover Big Boss couldn't even use magic.

But the next moment, the boy with both hands in his pockets, just like Hacker Empire, moved out afterimages.

He crouched to dodge the strike slashing at his head, then turned sideways to avoid the blade piercing his heart, finally twisted his foot, directly dodging the attack capable of severing limbs, and went around to Tal's back.

The time taken for this series of movements added up to less than one second.

This scene shocked Abyssal Eye Witch.

In her thousands of years of age, having fought countless Strong Ones, with wins and losses, she had never seen anyone whose movement could reach Big Boss's level.

Equally extremely Surprised was Tal.

He also did not expect Big Boss to be so fast.

Such movement, let alone him, even the Demigod of the Abyss, probably no one could do it? This is Big Boss's new ability【Both Hands in Pockets, Don't Know Who the Opponent Is】.

One hundred percent automatic dodge, even a god cannot kill him! Of course, the price to pay is not small either.

In this short while, his Bu Qi Zhi Ren was used up by 10,000 people's worth.

The four hundred thousand-plus portions he carried wouldn't last long.

He had to end the combat as soon as possible.

While dodging, he sent a voice transmission to Lilith: "Alright, your plan isn't working, let's go with mine instead."

That's right, the plan to tempt Tal into depravity was proposed by Lilith.

According to her, if the plan succeeded, she wouldn't need to become what Tal wanted, and wouldn't have to go entrapment.

To avoid being bait, she really tried so hard! Li Cheng nearly died laughing.

"Aaaah, how could this genius goddess's plan possibly have a problem meow! It's all because you didn't execute it properly meow!"

Lilith lay on her back crying inside Li Cheng's pants/crotch.

But things having come to this, besides executing Plan B, there was no other method.

She resolutely crawled out of Li Cheng's pants/crotch, jumped straight onto Tal's face, and clung onto his head.

"What thing, how so stinky!"

Tal instantly lost his sight, roaring.

Hearing these words, Lilith, who was originally unwilling about the plan, nervous and fearful, instantly flared up.

"Meow meow meow! You're the stinky cat, your whole family are stinky cats!! I'll bite you to death! I'll make you know my ferocity!"

"Secret Art, See You Again!"

The next instant, intense light erupted from Lilith's body, and she detached from Tal's face, transforming into the appearance of a ring.

That ring was set with a diamond, seemingly a wedding ring.

But this ring only existed for one second, then a new change occurred.

Its form gradually grew larger, becoming a rectangular book.

That was shockingly a Dark Bible.

Moreover, it was the one representing "Fear".

Moreover, unlike the "Deception" one Li Cheng possessed, the Evil God aura contained in this one was far purer.

The moment he saw that book, Tal's pupils directly filled with blood: "No, no, this book, why would it be here?"

"This book should have been locked in that prison together with My Lord!"

"No, this isn't real, this isn't real, this is a fake, this is a fake ah!"

"Whether it's fake or not, you should know very clearly, right?" Li Cheng laughed mockingly: "Can't you feel the power gathered on it?"

"You, you, you're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense!" Tal hugged his head, his body turning into liquid metal, continuously twisting, changing into all sorts of postures: "How could My Lord's book be in your hands!"

Although he was shouting, he knew extremely clearly that book was absolutely not a fake.

That pure Fear Power above was a power only that book would possess.

It was power belonging to the Master.

But why? Why would it appear here? Didn't My Lord tell me that only by passing his trial and letting him descend would he bestow this book upon me? "What do you think?" Li Cheng controlled Lilith, making her slowly approach Tal: "Tal ah, who told you that in this world, only you alone received His favor?"

"What are you saying? You, could it be you're also My Lord's servant?" Tal hugged his head: "Impossible, impossible, he clearly told me he only chose me alone, I am his chosen one!"

"Hehe, Tal, facts speak louder than words, don't they?" Li Cheng said, stepping closer one step at a time.

And this time, Tal continuously retreated, shock emerging on his face, no longer looking fake.

"You know very well what that book represents, don't you?"

"But, but..." Tal swallowed his saliva: "But why did you bewitch me, make me betray our Master?"

"I..." Li Cheng cursed "stupid cat" in his heart, then without changing expression: "That was a test for you, testing your devoutness."

"Right now, you've passed."

"Originally it's like this..." Tal's heart and spirit trembled: "So, I've received My Lord's acknowledgment?"

"I can obtain this book?"

"But, I clearly, I clearly didn't rescue My Lord ah!"

Greed is the nature of all life, a bad root that can never be quit no matter what.

Before different lives, it might be money, might be women, might be power, might be longevity.

So-called parental officials would approve loans far exceeding corporate bearing capacity for kickbacks.

Completely disregarding that the risks of those loans would be borne by the common people under his rule.

And greed, before Tal, was this book.

The moment greed is about to be satisfied, people all become demons.

Let alone Tal, who was originally a demon?

"Give me, give me, give it to me! Please, give it to me!" Tal pleaded to Li Cheng: "Just this one short, as long as I get this book, as long as I possess this book, I can evolve, I can become a demigod..."

"Give me, give it to me! Give me!" The pleading voice gradually turned into roars, Tal's form growing more and more twisted: "That's mine, mine! That's the favor My Lord gave me!"

He reached out his hand, wanting to snatch that Dark Bible, which gave Lilith a huge scare, and she hurriedly shouted in Li Cheng's head: "Aaaah, Dong Xi, you hurry up and act! Don't just stand there! I'm gonna get caught ah!"

"Got it, stop yelling."

Li Cheng perfunctorily replied two sentences to her, walked before Tal, gripped the Dark Bible, and said coldly: "Kneel!"

"Wh, what?" Tal froze.

"I told you to kneel!" Li Cheng narrowed his eyes, more like a Divine Envoy than a Divine Envoy: "Since seeing me come, why not bow? In your heart, do you still have our deities?"

"I, I, I..." Tal retreated three steps in a row.

Immediately after, as if realizing something, he prostrated on the ground, kowtowing: "I, Tal, didn't know Divine Envoy Adult had arrived, failed to welcome from afar, please Adult forgive the offense!"

"I understand, I understand, I'm not qualified to get this book, only by rescuing My Lord can I obtain this book ah!"

"Rest assured, I'll definitely do it, definitely can, as long as I save Blood-stained Rose, I'll be able to see Lei Ha Na, I'll pry open her corpse shell, annihilate her soul, let My Lord descend to this World!"

Hearing these words, Li Cheng narrowed his eyes.

If you hadn't said those few sentences, I could have let you die a painless death.

"Tal, no need."

"Wh-what?"

"My Lord has already found a new way to descend; I only need to borrow one thing from you."

"Wh-what thing?"

"Your life." Big Boss stood in front of him, hands in pockets: "Tal, my Lord is preparing to descend using your body. Are you willing?"

"I, I..."

"If he successfully descends, you will share the same body with him; you will be Him, He will be you. Are you willing?" Big Boss bent down, looking Tal in the eye.

The surrounding Tear Drop Larvae screamed wildly, wriggling forward, as if protecting their master.

But Tal suddenly waved a hand, flipping these loyal worms onto the ground.

"I am willing, I am willing. As long as I can offer myself for my Lord, I am willing!" Tal's face bore the fanaticism of a religious convert.

He prayed madly and devoutly:

"Come, let my Lord descend within my body!"

"Hahaha, hahahaha!"

Big Boss narrowed his eyes, looking at the Abyssal Eye Witch.

The Abyssal Eye Witch nodded and walked over.

She gripped the Abyss Blade, aiming at Tal's heart.

"Wait, how is it you? You're a witch, you can't possibly be..."

"Rest assured, she is no longer a witch; she is merely a doll I use to satisfy my desires." Big Boss spoke, naturally placing his hand on the Abyssal Eye Witch's shoulder.

A strange feeling instantly rose in Yuan Ye's heart.

But she prioritized the overall situation, enduring without lashing out.

Hmph, this is all to deceive Tal, right.

"You actually turned the witch into a breeding bed for your propagation? Adult, no wonder you could become my Lord's Apostle." Tal knelt devoutly: "Come, come, I am ready, I am ready!"

"Then, as you wish! Relax, pain is normal."

As Big Boss's words fell, Yuan Ye gripped the dagger and stabbed it into Tal's heart.

"Ah!!! I saw it, my Lord, my Lord is descending, my Lord is descending!"

Miserable screams resounded; Tal's body began to twist violently.

The power of the seal wrapped around him, devouring him, dragging him down to Hell.

But his face held no pain, only fanaticism.

As if in his eyes, this was a supreme honor.

The hearts of both Big Boss and the Abyssal Eye Witch were in their throats.

And the Lilith Cat...

She had never put it down.

"Will we win?"

Thinking this.

The next instant, an unexpected change occurred.

The Lilith Cat, which had still been maintaining the Dark Bible posture, suddenly began to change violently, turning once again into that wedding ring from before.

Less than a second later, it turned back into a book.

But this one second was enough for Tal to generate doubt.

"Wait, that book, why did it turn into a ring? Why?"

"No, fake, this is fake!" The fanaticism on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by anger and killing intent: "You're deceiving me!"

"Bastard! Bastard! You inferior creatures, inferior creatures!"

"Die, just die!"

Countless Tear Drop Larvae charged at the two.

Big Boss hurriedly stood up, transformed into Half-Dragon form, and fought them.

"Lilith, what's going on? Why is your transformation having issues?"

"I don't know! He, his body, it's like there are two personalities! Deep in his heart, he yearns for family, but, but on the surface, he only craves his master!"

"Bad luck." Big Boss cursed, slicing the magic worm in front of him in half while drawing the Sword of Terminus to block other worms' attacks: "Accelerate, Xiao Ye!"

"I know!" Xiao Ye cried out tenderly, forcefully driving the Abyss Blade into Tal's heart.

And Tal also reached out, clutching the Abyss Blade at his chest, trying to pull the knife out.

Right then, a sharp pain transmitted from Yuan Ye's abdominal cavity.

"Impossible, the time hasn't come yet!"

"Who do you think I am!" Tal's eyes were bloodshot, his body melting into liquid metal, about to devour the Abyss Blade at his chest along with the witch.

Obviously, he controlled the Tear Drop inside Yuan Ye, making it burst out prematurely in its immature state.

Severe pain tortured her spirit and body, making her wish she were dead.

The head of the Tear Drop Magic Worm had already drilled out from the abdominal cavity, letting out a newborn's scream.

"We've come this far, how could I give up? You die, just die!" Yuan Ye's eyes were bloodshot too, roaring madly: "I'll send him back! Even if I die, I'll send Big Boss back!"

Tears slowly fell along her eye sockets, but the witch's face held only stubbornness.

This oath was not merely because of Big Boss's care for her.

But also because of the philosophy of life she believed in.

If sacrificing herself could save all beings.

Then she would be willing, to be this sacrificial offering.

"Kill you this bastard, let the innocent masses be spared from slaughter, this life of mine, worth it! Die for me!"

The Abyssal Eye Witch roared, driving the Yuan Blade in ruthlessly.

"You, you madman, crazy woman, you actually used your own life to deal with me?" Tal looked at her in fear: "Do you know what you're doing? You'll die, you'll die! Even if you win, you'll still die!"

The Abyssal Eye Witch's face was expressionless, merely looking at him coldly.

Letting those metal blades of his slash open her own body.

"I absolutely will not allow you to leave here alive, filthy worm, die here." The Abyssal Eye Witch turned a deaf ear.

"Bastard, witch, don't you understand? Your life is worth far more than the people you want to save!" Tal roared: "Why would you sacrifice your own life for a bunch of useless ants?"

"You have a near-infinite lifespan, even if the world is destroyed, you can still survive! On the scales, the value of your one life outweighs eight billion mortals!"

"Let me go, and let yourself go too, I can swear, I can swear!"

"The value of life, to me, has never been measured by scales!" The Abyssal Eye Witch lifted her head, her face already soaked with tears, her voice even filled with sobs.

"If one cannot even cherish one's own life, then how can one save all beings under heaven?"

"If such scales truly exist, me alone, in exchange for all under heaven, why not gladly?"

"Tal ah, disgusting worm ah, you and I, were never the same kind of people!"

Amidst the roar, her life force transformed into the Yuan Blade's power, finally completely wrapping Tal.

"No, no, don't, I haven't seen Him yet, I haven't seen the Truth! Don't!" Tal pleaded: "Let me go, let me go, I guarantee I won't make a move on you anymore, I'll help you remove the worms!"

"Let me go!"

"Ah!!!"

"Don't, don't, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"I want to live, I want to live!"

"Great His Majesty the God of Fear, save me, save me!"

"Don't, don't……"

Amidst the miserable screams, Tal's voice grew smaller and smaller, its body withering bit by bit,

Finally, it was ended by the Yuan Blade's sealing formula, its life terminated, turning to dust, annihilated and disappearing.

And those Tear Drop worms surrounding Big Boss, also roared along with it, prostrating on the ground, turning into liquid metal, no longer moving.

Big Boss dodged the last Tear Drop's attack, rushing toward the witch.

The Abyssal Eye Witch collapsed on the ground, that Tear Drop which had broken out of her body, had also already turned into liquid metal, flowing along the wounds.

Only those few spikes that had pierced through her body when Tal struggled violently earlier, still remained.

Making her look like a hedgehog.

She lay face up, past memories cycling like a revolving lantern.

Who doesn't fear death?

Especially when there are still so many things undone.

Haven't found her own father.

Haven't resurrected her mother.

Haven't figured out, what her own heart's intent truly is……

Damn, regret it, just now should've listened to Tal, kept her life, this time it's over.

Hehe, indeed, I'm not some wholeheartedly-for-the-masses guy either……

Me ah, I'm also a mortal who fears death……

A self-mocking smile, the witch lowered her eyes, gazing at Big Boss who had just walked over, vomited a mouthful of blood: "I, I'm going to die, um, life remaining few, excessive blood loss, already no hope of survival."

"Um, I can tell." Big Boss said, then gripped one of the spikes, yanking it upward violently.

"No, don't…… don't pull it out……" Yuan Ye vomited another mouthful of blood: "Pull it out…… won't stop bleeding, die even faster."

"But right now you're like a hedgehog, a dignified witch dying like this, loses some style." Big Boss said calmly.

What thing?

Loses style?

I'm about to die, and you're talking to me about style? Your thirty-seven-degree mouth, how can it say such cold words? The Abyssal Eye Witch was so angry she vomited another mouthful of blood.

She wanted to say something, curse this youth, but forcibly stopped herself.

Ai, what am I thinking?

He's always been unable to distinguish occasions like this, hasn't he?

Just a natural airhead.

But, the road ahead, he'll have to walk alone.

Can't accompany him by his side anymore.

"He……" Laughed softly, Yuan Ye wanted to roll over, but discovered she was stuck by those spikes.

She had no choice, could only turn back.

"That, should I not pull them out?" Big Boss thought a bit and said.

"No need to pull, just leave them inserted." Xiao Ye smiled tragically beautiful: "Big Boss, I have some things, to tell you."

"Um, but I feel pulling them out is better, you wait." Speaking, he put his hands on those spikes.

"Stop, you stop for me, why are you always so persistent about these things?" Intense pain made the witch vomit another mouthful of blood: "Leaving them inserted isn't good?"

"Uh, alright then, won't pull."

"Um, listen well to my words." The Abyssal Eye Witch signaled Big Boss to squat down, placed her hand on his face.

But she discovered that Big Boss's gaze kept staring at her wound.

Especially the place where the spike had just been pulled out.

One hand was inside his belt feeling for something, the other hand gesturing as if measuring size.

"Hehe, little brother, don't waste your effort. Bandaging is useless; my death isn't because of the wound, but because my lifespan is exhausted. What comes next is my last words."

"Wait, why are you still rummaging? Stop rummaging, she can't be saved. Can't you listen to me properly! I'm about to die, do you want me to... cough cough cough, just leave with regret like this?"

"Oh, got it." Hearing this, Big Boss had no choice but to stuff the pill the World Tree's Lao Deng gave him back into his pants crotch.

That's right, back then he asked Lao Deng for two compensations.

One was being able to expose his identity in this Secret Realm.

And another was medicine that could preserve an NPC's life.

This was originally insurance Big Boss prepared, fearing he might one day kill an NPC and cause the Quest Line to break.

Didn't expect it would come in handy at this moment.

But this Witch is the same as before, starting to talk to herself, not letting him get a word in.

Fine, since she still has some time, let her speak.

Anyway, the one suffering social death in the end won't be me.

"Big Boss, actually, actually I've known you for a long time, hmm, hehe." The Yan Eye Witch smiled: "Actually, I am Xiu Si Da Er..."
