Chapter 289

"With my soul and flesh, forge the glory of my teacher Li Cheng!"

The young Plague Mother Goddess raised her arms and shouted within the wishing ritual array.

And her voice pierced through countless dazzling Star Domes, reaching the silent, soundless dark night.

Lani suspended in the dark night, or rather Miss Diabolos, was gripping a dagger, aiming at her own throat, her face pained.

And her lovely face was wrapped in something black like petroleum, that thing slowly coalescing into a face, emitting a manic smile.

"Hehe, God of the Underworld, that's all you are. After killing you, I'll be the new God of the Underworld, and then we can bypass the Abyss and invade your world."

"I'll eat clean the people you protect!"

As it spoke, that petroleum-like thing wrapped around Diabolos's arm, pushing the dagger.

"Dream on." Diabolos struggled to resist: "Furious Outer God, I absolutely will not allow you to defile my pure world."

"Hahaha, God of the Underworld, your helpless rage truly makes me happy to the extreme! Hahahaha!!"

"Damn it..." Diabolos resisted with all her might.

But that dagger still drew closer and closer to her throat.

Regret also surfaced on her face.

She had guarded the gate between the Abyss and the Sealed World for countless ages, never once failing.

Those Outer Gods who destroy and devour everything, symbolizing the end of all beings, had never set half a step past this gate.

Yet who would have thought, this damn Furious God, to break through the gate, actually leaked all his divine power and disguised himself as the relic she obtained three hundred million years ago.

These three hundred million years, the Furious Evil God extremely slowly recovered his strength, hiding his identity, actually making her truly believe he was the artifact spirit born from that relic.

Today, three hundred million years later, the Furious Evil God suddenly moved to sneak attack, only then catching her off guard.

But now, further regret is useless.

All her power was sealed by the Furious Evil God, one line away from death.

Thinking that after her death this Sealed World would be invaded, living beings suffering, Diabolos felt infinite self-blame.

"Hehe, it's over, Death God of the Underworld, what a pity, no way to let you see the sight of your people being eaten by me, hahaha!!!"

The Furious Evil God laughed wildly, mocking.

Just then, suddenly, a magic array appeared beneath Diabolos's feet.

Immediately after, a childish voice came from a distant place.

"With~ my~ flesh~ and~ soul~"

"Forg~e~ the~ glo~ry~ of~ my~ tea~cher~ Li~ Cheng~"

"What thing?" The Furious Evil God froze for a moment, the black face attached to Diabolos's face furrowing its brow: "This is your backup plan? What did you do?"

Diabolos: "I don't know ah!"

Immediately after, the ritual array began to tighten, dazzling radiance wrapping the two deities.

"No, no, no! I'm about to succeed, I'm about to succeed ah!" The Furious Evil God roared: "You TMD can't do this ah!"

"Hehe, Furious, Furious, calculating everything but too clever by half." Diabolos laughed mockingly: "One may plan, but success depends on heaven! Hahaha!"

"Although I don't know who used this ritual array, this is a sealing array, so just be sealed together with me in infinite darkness."

"What? Seal?" The Furious Evil God howled wildly: "No, no! No ah!"

………………

"No! No ah!"

Li Cheng looked at Liv in the ritual, eyes determined like she was about to join a cult, angrily shouting.

Don't corrupt the save file, don't corrupt the save file ah!

I TM fought all the way here!

But this appearance of his, in Liv's eyes, was no different from being unable to let her go, unwilling to let her die.

Thus, she shed happy hot tears.

"Indeed, Teacher, you care about me, my guess wasn't wrong at all!"

"The more you care about me, the more I cannot give you up!"

"Teacher, I'll save you, I'll definitely save you!"

"Giving my everything!"

You give your everything my ass, deep well ice, deep well ice ah! Li Cheng was about to explode with anger.

And the ritual also entered the next stage.

Above Liv's head, a huge vortex appeared.

The ritual array continuously flashed with light, a black-robed dead hand woman was pulled out from the vortex.

Her body and face were both shrouded in mist, unable to see clearly.

But the only thing clearly visible was that her body was being absorbed by Liv.

Strange eerie whispers sounded without cause, dim starless stars abruptly flickered.

Wild gale rampaged, knocking windows and doors with cracking pa-pa sounds.

Li Cheng's eyes trembled, he knew, following this Game Producer's birth temperament, if he finished watching this CG.

That save file would definitely corrupt.

Plot kill, plot kill ah! Fine fine fine, doing it like this huh! Li Cheng steeled his heart, and pulled out the 【True Blade】.

Fiercely stabbing at the air wall in front of him.

"I absolutely, absolutely will not allow you to do this ah!"

"Not allowed to take away, not allowed to take away my precious game save file ah!!!"

"Give it back to me!"

His voice was loud, nearly a roar.

But because of the gale and the whispers, it still became not so clear.

Reaching Liv's ears, it turned into——

"I won't allow you to do this!"

"Don't take my precious things away."

"Give them back to me!"

"Teacher!" At this moment, Liv's eyes brimmed with hot tears; she had never thought that in Big Boss's heart, she actually occupied such a status.

Thus, she also made up her mind!

Both arms suddenly spread wide, Liv's gaze even more determined than just now: "Take it away, take all of me away, as long as it can create a world where Teacher can live happily!"

This scene stunned the summoned Diabolos.

What thing?

What am I taking from you? Isn't this sealing magic?

Next, I'm about to be sealed inside your body, little sister.

And the Wrath Evil God clinging to her also grew anxious: "Diabolos, quickly think of a way, you don't want to be sealed forever either!"

And the answer to Him was only Diabolos's mocking smile.

"Hateful, hateful, damn! No, I can't die, I absolutely cannot die! I haven't eaten that world clean yet! Damn damn damn!" The Wrath Evil God roared.

Petroleum-like liquid separated from Diabolos's body, forming a black humanoid monster.

He decided to run away.

The one being sealed is the Underworld God Diabolos, what does it have to do with me, Wrath Doomsday?

Why should I accompany you to die? "Hehe, want to escape?"

But this time, things would not let Him have His way.

Miss Diabolos crooked-mouth evil-smiled, two hands gripping that petroleum monster's neck, the other two hands directly starting nonstop elbow strikes!

"MAN! Don't think of running!"

"WHATCANISAY! Stay here!"

While elbow-striking, she pressed the petroleum man under her feet, and thus the Wrath Evil God was first sucked into Liv's crown.

His body bit by bit was sealed, finally only a face left.

"Damn, bastard! Bastard!"

"I don't want to, I don't want to!"

The Wrath Evil God knew today he could hardly escape calamity, so he forcefully grabbed Diabolos's arm, as if to pull her soul out.

"You wait for me, Diabolos! You can't escape either, you'll be sealed together with me! I'll erode you, I'll devour you, when the seal is lifted you'll cease to exist! Hahahaha!!!"

Diabolos's arm was also dragged into Liv's crown.

And she also revealed a bitter smile.

Yes, inside the seal, she would inevitably be eroded.

When the seal is lifted that day, she will no longer be her.

Though sighing, this is the fact. But regardless, this is already the best outcome.

Able to fight for a period of peace and health for this world, for all beings.

"Alright, this is my fate, hehe." Diabolos resignedly closed her eyes.

Just at this time.

Big Boss's True Blade finally cut through the invisible barrier blocking him.

He rushed to Liv's front at the fastest speed.

Then the dagger swung once more, accurately hitting Diabolos's arm.

Two of her four hands were severed, dragged into Liv's crown.

But the connection between that sealing formula and her was also severed along with it.

Diabolos stared wide-eyed in shock, blankly looking at Big Boss, yet saw a face ruthless to the extreme.

"It seems... I don't have to die?"

The development of events exceeded this Underworld God's prediction; she wanted to say something to Big Boss.

Just at this moment, a sudden sharp pain came in her head.

That was the pain of soul damage.

Although she wasn't completely sealed, a part of her soul was severed.

That kind of sharp pain made her almost unable to think, let alone use term art to stay here.

She used all her strength to reopen her eyes, Dead Witch's Eyes locked onto Big Boss.

You saved me, little guy, this favor, I will definitely repay.

I remember you, I remember you! No matter where you are, I will find you! She shouted in her heart, but the sound could not transmit out because of soul damage.

Immediately after, the vortex above her head once again emitted a huge suction force.

After the ritual was terminated, Diabolos had no reason to stay in this world.

Darkness wrapped her, sent her to the Sealed World where she originally belonged.

"No, can't, I can't leave here, if that Wrath Evil God lifts the seal, this world is done for!"

She struggled against the world rules' rejection, while her head hurt more and more, more and more.

Just then, she heard a voice.

An incomparably familiar, but she couldn't recall whose voice: "Diabolos, are you sure you want to stay here?"

"Of course……"

"But if you do that, you will pay a tremendous price; you will remain in this buffer zone between the apocalypse and the Sealed World, gradually losing your Divine Power, and never again be the Death God of the Underworld."

"Matters, unfinished, I, will not leave……" Diabolos's voice was practically word by word.

"Hehe, then fine, I'll help you this once; from today on, you are the Dead Witch, hmm, your name is Lani."

The voice gradually disappeared.

And Diabolos's Consciousness also gradually dissipated.

She fell continuously, falling, in the boundless deep time.

"I am…… the Dead Witch…… Lani……"

Her falling speed became faster and faster, faster and faster.

Not knowing where she fell toward, not knowing what place she fell toward.

Until——

Bang! A huge sound.

She smashed through something.

Heavily smashed onto the ground.

Amidst thick smoke.

The Avatar old man held a bowl, held chopsticks, his mouth corner stretched wide enough to fit an egg.

In front of the Avatar old man, a table full of dishes he had just made were all smashed into a mess by Lani.

He lifted his head, blankly looking at a big hole rotted open on the World Tree Roots.

Then lowered his head, looking at that wreckage of delicious fine food.

Tears unpromisingly flowed down.

"Ah ah ah ah! I finally got to cook once! You Dong Xi-born thing, repay me! Repay me ah!!!"

Bowl and chopsticks thrown aside, the Avatar old man seized Lani's collar.

And this former Death God of the Underworld finally opened her eyes.

"This, where is this……"

"It's the World Tree, you bastard-born witch!" The Avatar old man viciously: "Don't think just because you're a witch you can skip out on the debt!"

"Witch? What thing is a witch…… however, you don't need to worry, I won't skip out on the debt." Lani bewilderedly: "I, I am the Death God of the Underworld, Diabolos, wait, wait until I return to my world, however much I owe, I'll repay double!"

"……" The Avatar old man froze a moment, then raised an eyebrow: "You're a Death God? Hehe, if you're a Death God, I'm the Creator, pay up old man!"

"I, I really am Diabolos ah! I'm serious!"

"……" The Avatar old man suspiciously: "You…… have Mental Illness?"

Lani hurriedly shook her head: "I don't……"

The Avatar old man realized: "Hmm, you don't."

Lani continued shaking her head: "I really don't."

The Avatar old man continued realizing: "Hmm, you really don't."

Lani almost cried: "Believe me, you believe me ah!"

The Avatar old man also almost cried: "I believe you, I believe you my ass! I'll go get you medicine now!"

"Wuwuwu, I really don't have Mental Illness, I really don't have Mental Illness ah!" Lani lay on the ground, curling up her body.

She cannot cry, the proud Underworld Death God, absolutely cannot cry!

Meanwhile, the Dead Witch's Eyes suddenly erupted with brilliant light, immediately after, a figure also appeared in her mind sea.

That figure was very blurry, couldn't see the face clearly, also couldn't hear the voice clearly.

But Lani always felt, this person is a very important person.

Own Body seems to owe him something.

"Strange, who are you…… why can't I remember……"

"Wait, coordinates, there is a coordinate…… City of Deception, where is that? Ah……"

Lani suddenly felt a burst of severe pain, she once again hugged her head.

The Avatar old man who went to get her medicine hurriedly walked over, supported her:

"Hey, are you okay? What exactly is wrong with you?"

"No, I'm fine, old, old uncle." Lani grabbed his arm: "Do you know where the City of Deception is?"

"Hmm?" The Avatar old man raised an eyebrow, then pointed at her behind.

Lani doubtfully turned her head, only to see a light screen, currently playing a Screen.

And that Screen inside showed, a person's figure was walking through the World Tree's gate.

That figure and the blurry figure in her mind sea continuously overlapped.

"Hmm, he's called Big Boss, is a strange Little Guy, his body has a pile of Abyss Marks…… according to the chosen history node, he will arrive at the City of Deception in seven days." The Avatar old man smiled: "Miss Witch, you seem very interested in the City of Deception?"

"I……" Lani blinked, but her gaze bypassed Big Boss, looking toward the City of Deception's Northwest Corner.

Her gaze passed through the Di Mian, arriving underground.

There, there is a door.

And in front of the door, standing two girls.

Among them one, closing eyes, face still wrapped in black silk scarf.

Lani feels Own Body should recognize her.

But she yet cannot remember, this girl is who.

"They, who are they?" She softly asked.

"Hmm, it's Pestilence and Wrath, two Mother Goddesses of the Abyss." The Avatar elder narrowed his eyes: "Two clever and dangerous women. Just because of them, the opening time of this City of Deception Secret Realm was delayed by seven days."

"I, I want to go... There."

Lani suddenly raised her hand, pointing at that door.

"Oh?" The Avatar elder froze for a moment.

In this instant, his Gaze became incomparably profound...

………………

And at some unknown amount of time before this moment, in the present, Liv had already fallen into Big Boss's embrace...
