Chapter 246: Will I win? I'm dead for sure

"Master, the intelligence regarding the Black Prince has been compiled."

An electronic, synthesized female voice emanated from the mobile phone floating in front of Su Nian.

"Project it; let me take a look."

A smile curled at the corners of Su Nian's mouth as he happily began reading the intelligence on the Black Prince.

Of course, rather than intelligence, what Su Nian was looking at now was more akin to dark history.

"Interesting, I never expected there to be *doujinshi* of the Black Prince and his subordinate Great Knight, Ice Man, in here."

"Come, let us see what is inside..."

But before Su Nian could finish his sentence, a bolt of lightning shattered the wall in front of him that was being used as a screen.

Su Nian shook his head helplessly and put away his phone.

"Honestly, everyone is so impatient; they can't hold their temper at all."

As he spoke, Su Nian turned around to face the figure with a cold expression, who looked as if they were about to kill someone.

The Black Prince, Alexander Gascoigne.

"So that's how it is. You were hiding here, my colleague, and the White Witch as well."

Hearing the voice, Alice blinked and turned her head to look at Su Nian.

Aren't you the Last King? How did you end up being mistaken for a Godslayer by Keleiya?

Such a question was in Alice's eyes.

Su Nian blinked with interest, not replying, but instead looked at the Black Prince and continued to listen to his voice.

"If you intended to provoke me, then you have succeeded."

"And you, White Witch, have I been too lenient with you? Who gave you the gall to study my personality and name my authorities?"

Alec was only slightly annoyed by the *doujinshi* of him and Ice Man mentioned above; after all, he was slightly inferior to Alice in that regard, and he still followed the rules.

Moreover, it wasn't as if he didn't know that what made him angry, or even ashamed to the point of rage, was the analysis report of his reactions attached after that *doujinshi*.

No matter who it is, anyone would be angry to see others analyzing their personality, compiling it into a report, treating it as intelligence, and even providing countermeasures.

Hmm, "Alec's User Manual."

Not to mention, he was an arrogant and willful Godslayer known as a Demon King.

And it looked like this didn't just belong to him alone.

He finally understood what the Council of Sages had been hiding.

As for Su Nian, he did not sense that aura belonging to a Heretic god from him, nor did Su Nian make him want to fight.

Alec narrowed his eyes; he smelled a dangerous aura from Su Nian.

However, it did not matter; possessing the authority of godspeed, he had the confidence to deal with any existence.

"But then again, how desperate are you, or rather, how indiscriminate is your appetite, to actually take in such a vicious and shameless Witch?"

Alec said, half-sighing and half-admiring.

In his view, the Su Nian before him was truly a warrior.

"Don't you think her flustered appearance is quite interesting?"

Su Nian said with a faint smile, though it was true that Alice had quite a few ulterior motives.

She needed to be properly disciplined and kept in check.

"Umu~, I thought the King took me in because of my charm."

Alice said with a sorrowful expression.

"I am clearly still a girl in the prime of her youth, at the age where I look forward to a Prince Charming like the King."

"A middle-aged woman pushing thirty has the nerve to say that."

Alec scoffed at this claim; he had been fighting this old hag for over a decade since she was twelve, so how could he not know her?

Alice's expression instantly became exasperated; she stomped her feet in anger and said with an ugly look on her face.

"I am only 29 years old, 29 years old!"

She emphasized the 29, intending to show that she was very young.

And do you, an old man who has lived for decades, have the right to talk about me?

"It is indeed quite interesting."

Alec said with a smile.

He admitted that Su Nian had good taste; this was how one should treat a Witch.

Afterwards, he ignored Alice and looked at Su Nian calmly, saying.

"Alright, bring out whatever skills you have. Knowing my authorities, you should have guessed that before I arrived at this temple, I had already deployed my labyrinth authority."

"From the very beginning, the scales of victory have already tilted toward me."

Alec spread his arms and said with his back to Su Nian.

He was never afraid of Su Nian sneak-attacking him from behind; he had sufficient confidence in his own reaction speed.

"Furthermore, you probably didn't expect how many members of the Council of Sages, who were originally prepared to assist you under Alice's call, have surrendered to me, did you?"

Su Nian said very calmly.

"Are you sure you have really deployed your labyrinth authority?"

This is a Celtic temple, and as of now, strictly speaking, it has not yet separated from the Celtic Pantheon.

In a temple where a god exists, you still want to deploy the authority of another god?

"When? How is that possible?"

Upon hearing this, Alec's pupils suddenly dilated, and he turned around abruptly, only to discover that his labyrinth had not been released at all.

No, this guy is not a Godslayer! Nor is he a Heretic god!

It really is the Last King.

After a brief moment of shock, Alec instantly activated his Flash Heat Authority.

Transforming himself into lightning, his figure appeared in the suburbs of Luoma in almost an instant.

Running from London to Luoma, he likely only spent twenty seconds by his own perception, roughly seventy-five kilometers per second.

This was already the fastest speed he could achieve.

The moment his figure appeared in Luoma, Alec was both flustered and relieved as he spoke.

"It's a good thing my most proficient Authority is Flash Heat."

But just as he finished speaking, Alec's expression froze.

He turned his head slightly backward and saw Su Nian and Alice still in the original spot, watching him with interest.

His heart began to beat wildly like a motor.

"How is this possible? I actually didn't escape?"

Alec twisted his waist, and his entire body transformed into lightning once again, entering a state of godspeed, and charged toward Su Nian.

He guessed that Su Nian's Authority was related to space, so did that mean Su Nian's melee combat and reaction speed would be lacking?

However, at this moment, Su Nian expressionlessly raised his foot and said in a very fast yet calm tone.

"You don't even have light speed, you can't even achieve conceptualization, and you want to ambush me?"

Under this rhetorical question, Alec saw Su Nian's foot turn into light in an instant.

Light speed? Are you serious?

The next second, he was stepped onto the ground by Su Nian.

In Su Nian's view, Alec's Flash Heat Authority was about the same as the Glint-Glint Fruit or the Rumble-Rumble Fruit from One Piece.

It could only achieve elementalization; it could not achieve conceptualization like the Four-digit beings who held Authority.

Just like Leticia, who could transform into true shadow, indirectly interfere with light, and achieve light-speed movement.

And Jialing could also transform herself into flames and move at light speed with her Flash Heat Authority; she could even interfere with the speed of light and lower it.

At this time, Keleiya, who was being stepped on by Su Nian, only wanted to mock his former self.

Back then, he had confidently said, isn't it just the Last King? Even if he couldn't beat him, he could at least outrun him, right?

Moreover, in the records of History, among the Godslayers of the last fifteen hundred years, except for a very small number killed by colleagues or Heretic Divine Spirits.

Most died of old age, with a maximum lifespan of about three hundred years.

Marquis Voban had likely reached this age.

After all, Godslayers are not gods, and they are ultimately still human.

However, it is said that if one holds an Authority related to life, one can extend their lifespan to an unimaginable degree.

Therefore, in fact, he had never taken the Last King to heart.

He was just a coward who hadn't made a move in at least fifteen hundred years.

But he had never thought that Su Nian would be this powerful.

At this time, Alec opened his eyes, and Su Nian also released his foot, letting him stand up.

He gave a bitter smile and said.

"So that's how it is; I ultimately overestimated myself."

"But, why don't you kill me?"

Alec asked curiously; if his investigation was correct, wasn't the duty of the Last King to purge Godslayers?

"I'm not the Last King, and why would I kill you?"

Su Nian tilted his head slightly and explained with a hint of a smile.

"I never said anything; all of this is just what you imagined yourselves."

"Umu~, King, you're bullying people!"

Alice puffed up her cheeks in anger, drifted to Su Nian's side, wrapped her arms around Su Nian's neck, and said with great dissatisfaction.

Of course, rather than dissatisfaction, it was more of an act of acting spoiled.

Su Nian could only say that this was a woman with a very accurate self-positioning, and she had absolutely no integrity.

She was indeed a Witch.

"So that's it..."

Alec also had nothing more to say, looking like someone resigned to his fate.

"However, I am quite curious about Godslayers; what are your thoughts?"

As he spoke, a white lab coat had already appeared on Su Nian, a stethoscope hung around his neck, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses appeared on the bridge of his nose.

He looked exactly like an Elite medical doctor.

If the actions of King Arthur and Yadaina were just to help the Halloween Queen, Algol, and Athena.

Then Su Nian was about to do some things of his own.

That was to deconstruct Mythology and create the 【Divine Spirit Catalog】 belonging to Angra Mainyu.

To thoroughly negate 【Creationism】, and deconstruct the evolution of the Divinity of Divine Spirits, the relationship between Authority, faith, History, and humanity.

It was also a necessary step to upgrade his own 【Chronicle of Unofficial History】 into an Authority Artifact.

Only by fully understanding Divine Spirits could one better target them, and at the same time, Fiction could play its most perfect role.

Perhaps one day, Su Nian would be able to upgrade this thing into something like a script?

A existence similar to a chronicle of time, a high-dimensional narrative.

Of course, this was just a hope; currently, Su Nian couldn't even reach the level of a chronicle of time.

"I naturally obey your will, but before that, please permit me to deal with some audacious vermin."

Alec knelt on one knee before Su Nian and spoke.

Perhaps because of his childhood experiences, he was quite sensible, and under the circumstances of an absolute disparity in martial power, he had no need to resist.

The winner takes all, the loser is the villain; it has been thus since ancient times.

"I just said it, as expected, they were fated to suffer this calamity."

Alice did not need to ask; she already knew what had happened.

What else could it be? The secret was leaked, and they didn't pick the right side, or rather, they weren't thorough enough.

Fence-sitters have always been the most detestable.

Alice even guessed that Su Nian had deliberately let Alec come down; otherwise, with the Temple's capabilities, how could Alec have possibly found them?
