Chapter 3518

In the quiet fortune-telling house at night, the pale purple lights and the various hanging ornaments added a sense of mystery to the place.

As the owner of the fortune-telling house, the Crimson Queen at this moment—oh no, she should be called the Crimson Witch. This was proof that she had let go of the past. She didn't want to mention her past war experiences again, especially the time she was blasted through by Kara's cannon; it was simply a dark history.

In the quiet fortune-telling house, the Crimson Witch looked at the man opposite her, silent. She knew very clearly that the other party was not joking just now, but had come to settle accounts regarding her revealing that the Netherworld Gate would open.

Actually, the Crimson Witch didn't want to get involved in this trouble, but after studying mysterious knowledge such as fate, luck, future, and prediction, she gradually had a feeling that this was what it meant to be alive. Previously, as a Zerg leader, she lived to live, but now, she had the feeling of living for exploration and infinite knowledge. This way of living with flesh and blood made her intoxicated and obsessed.

Correspondingly, she couldn't refuse the temptation of divining the future, and as a fortune teller, telling this shocking future to those who needed to be told.

After completing this matter, her "Spirit Vision" level had a cross-dimensional improvement. She could even faintly hear the vast sounds from beyond the sky and the seductive sounds from underground.

Spirit sense, or spirit vision, was an ability that all fortune tellers had, and this was also one of the main reasons they could divine. In the eyes of the Crimson Witch, some people had sins or resentment on them; that was a characteristic of killers. Through those sins, she could faintly hear the wailing of dead souls.

However, at this moment, the Crimson Witch didn't see any sin on Su Xiao. It wasn't that Su Xiao hadn't killed, but that the sin had been evaporated by blood energy.

From the Crimson Witch's perspective, the blood energy behind Su Xiao gradually aggregated into a huge blood beast, sniffing her aura like a rose, seemingly undecided whether to swallow her in one gulp.

"Fortune teller, we don't have all night to wait for your answer."

Baja urged, and it continued: "Divining your own life and death, is it that hard?"

Hearing this, the Crimson Witch glanced at the sheathed long sword on the table. To be honest, it was really hard; this was a death-sentencing question.

If the Crimson Witch divined that she wouldn't die, but died under the sword the next second, it was obviously inaccurate divination.

But if the Crimson Witch divined that she would die, and still died under the sword the next second, it could only be said that the divination was really accurate.

So, whether the divination was accurate or not was not the theme, but that she would die no matter how she answered. This was the key, and this was the essence of this death-sentencing question.

The Crimson Witch's eyes became pitch black, and white thread-like brilliance appeared in her pupils. A moment later, she looked up and took a long breath, then began to pant, with a lot of sweat beads seeping out on her face.

"I divined that I will die."

Just as the Crimson Witch finished speaking, Su Xiao's hand was already pressed on Dragon Flash. Taking this opportunity, the Crimson Witch continued: "After I die, you won't get important revelations, and you will die in the bloody battle with the Netherworld Emperor."

This move by the Crimson Witch could be described as extremely beautiful. First, she said she would die to maximize the accuracy of her divination, and then immediately added that if she were killed, Su Xiao would lose important intelligence and eventually die in the final battle with the Emperor. This statement was equivalent to binding the Crimson Witch's own life to Su Xiao's life.

"So, after killing you, I won't have the possibility of getting revelations?"

Su Xiao picked up the long sword on the table, the tip of the scabbard resting on the ground, and he supported the end of the hilt with his palm.

"To be precise, no. I can see that there is another fortune teller similar to me on Banini Star, but... that place is very far, and your time is precious."

"Tell me, what is the revelation you saw?"

"A mask, and... it and it."

The Crimson Witch pointed at Bubu Wang and Baja respectively.

"Be more specific."

Su Xiao's thumb stroked the shrunken gemstone embedded at the end of the hilt. He hadn't made a decision about whether to kill the Crimson Witch.

When dealing with these fortune-telling types, once a decision was made in the heart, it would inevitably change the corresponding causality, thus being perceived by the fortune-telling type.

A resident of the Dark Star White Town named Snake Lady was also a fortune-telling type. She had a saying that was very good: in fact, most fortune tellers are just trying to grasp one of the countless future lines.

The result of the divination is not important; how to grasp this future line and make the result of this divination come true is the most important thing.

Otherwise, the existence of a fortune teller is meaningless. The possible future of a person is tens of millions of times more than the sum of all the sand grains in the world. This is the power and charm of fate.

No one can see the traces of fate completely; fortune tellers can only faintly touch one of them.

Precisely because of this, fortune tellers generally have strong self-preservation abilities. Why is this? If you can't calculate accurately, run away. This is a matter of course. Otherwise, stay and get beaten?

Why are fortune tellers mysterious? Homeless? Who dares to stay in one place for a long time? If the calculation is not accurate and the customer comes back for a bad review, they will really get beaten.

Being mysterious and wearing a hood is because it has both aesthetic appeal and can avoid being seen clearly, thus being remembered. This was the original words of the famous fortune teller Snake Lady.

"Fate is unpredictable, I can still give revelations..."

"Okay, okay, don't pretend to be mysterious, just say it, you can peek into a few of our future lines."

Hearing Baja's words, the Crimson Witch's expression froze for a moment. She looked thoughtful and said vaguely: "Three."

"Damn! So capable?"

Baja was shocked. Hearing this, the Crimson Witch looked puzzled. She originally thought her level was not particularly high; after all, she had been a fortune teller for a very short time.

"The S-001 we contacted before could peek into five future lines, and Snake Lady was four. You've only been in the industry for how long and can already peek into three future lines? You'll definitely be more awesome in the future."

"..."

Facing the vulgar words Baja blurted out, the Crimson Witch just smiled modestly and didn't answer.

"Thank you for your divination."

Su Xiao pushed a Soul Crystal Core on the table forward a little. Seeing this, the Crimson Witch shook her head with a smile and said:

"I sincerely hope you can win. Only if you win will we not die at the hands of the Netherworld."

After speaking, the Crimson Witch pushed the Soul Crystal Core on the table back.

Su Xiao glanced at the Soul Crystal Core on the table, stared at the Crimson Witch for a few seconds, and finally, he inserted the sheathed long sword back into his waist, picked up the Soul Crystal Core, and walked out.

After Su Xiao left, only the Crimson Witch was left in the fortune-telling house. The smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she let out a long breath. The close-fitting clothing on her back was completely soaked with sweat. In the past, she thought Su Xiao was the same as her, a commander. Now it seemed that was not the case. This guy's combat power was shockingly strong. If the Netherworld forces were not counted, he might be the strongest in this world.

"Are we continuing divination tonight?"

A little girl poked her head out from the inner door and looked around.

"No, we're moving, right now."

At this moment, the Crimson Witch understood why she found that those fortune tellers moved frequently when she read the travelogues of other fortune tellers before.

The next morning at 6 o'clock, Pandora Star, our base.

The Demon Beast Legion previously sent to "Oukai Star" had all withdrawn. This time, they went out to clear the Corrupted ones, with a total income of 750,000 points of biological energy.

Put in the past, this was not much, but after Jila promoted to the Zerg Queen, the value of biological energy summarized by the Mother Nest changed, making the gold content of these 750,000 points of biological energy soar.

The efficiency of biological energy obtained by going out to clear the Corrupted ones was low, but as long as the war started, their side would not lack biological energy.

Now these 750,000 points of biological energy were reserved for emergencies. At present, their lineup was:

Demon Beast: 476,500.

Demon Flame Dragon: 4,200.

Titan Behemoth: 20.

This was the lineup Su Xiao prepared to start the war with the Netherworld forces. With this lineup, against the main force of the Netherworld forces, they would definitely not be able to win. There was no need to analyze this point.

The main force of the Netherworld forces, the melee legion, were all Netherworld Warriors or Netherworld Knights, while the long-range ones were Soul Wizards. And there were various war behemoths, such as the super-giant Nether Dragon Whale with a body length of a thousand meters, or the Filthy Tree clan.

Those Filthy Tree people were all war behemoths, with an average height of about 35 to 50 meters. They were not only tall but could also use erosion or blood soul-type spellcasting abilities, which were particularly difficult to deal with.

Many people thought that the Netherworld forces only had one legion, which was the Netherworld Legion composed of Netherworld Warriors and Soul Wizards. In fact, this was not the case.

The Netherworld Legion was indeed the main force of the Netherworld forces, but the Netherworld forces were not limited to this legion. Through Caesar, Su Xiao already knew of four enemy legions.

First was the "Netherworld Main Force," followed by the "Filthy Tree Legion," as well as the "Undead Legion" and the "Dragon Blood Legion."

The reason there were four legions involved things from many years ago. At that time, the Netherworld, eroded by Abyssal power, had just stabilized. The Emperor didn't have a single soldier under his command. In the first world he went to conquer, the Filthy Tree clan defected to him.

At that time, the Emperor also received support from a strong reinforcement. In other words, without the support of that strong reinforcement, there would be no Netherworld today.

But not long after, the groups accepted under the Emperor's command became fewer and fewer, and in the end, they were no longer accepted at all. It was also in the same period that the Netherworld lost that strong reinforcement.

The Filthy Tree clan, the Undead clan, and the Dragon Blood clan were three races completely accepted by the Netherworld.

The Filthy Tree and the Undead had a high degree of compatibility with Netherworld power, so defecting was a normal thing. As for the Dragon Blood clan, it was said that they inherited dragon blood, but because the purity of their bloodline decreased, it was more appropriate to call them Snake People. These guys were generally humanoid, with the upper body being a python body as thick as a bucket, with two arms, and a small section of sharp horns on their heads.

These sharp horns, which were about to disappear, were the last honor of the Dragon Blood clan. Without these Kirin Dragon Horns, they would really degenerate into Snake People.

These three legions had their own leaders, but they were slightly lower than Wuying Solaro and could not be considered Wuying Solaro's subordinates, but in terms of strategic deployment, they must obey Wuying Solaro's command.

Su Xiao had already mastered the general information of these four legions. The strongest was naturally the Netherworld Main Force, which was the legion composed of Netherworld Warriors and Soul Wizards.

Below that was the "Filthy Tree Legion." The number of this legion was not large, and everyone was a war behemoth.

Further down was the "Dragon Blood Legion." Although these Snake People had severely degenerated bloodlines, they still had some skills.

Finally, there was the "Undead Legion." Caesar's suggestion was to beat this legion to death. The Undead King had just perished decades ago, and there was no successor, so they could only invite Princess Smoke, who was unwilling to manage the Undead Legion, out.

It was a group of Undead Generals begging her to take over the legion. The Undead system was different from the Undead system. If the Undead system lost its leader, it would be a group of minions, and it would only be strong if it united.

The leader of the "Filthy Tree Legion," Twisted Battle Armor, and the leader of the "Dragon Blood Legion," Rune, both had leadership abilities slightly stronger than Princess Smoke.

However, Princess Smoke was particularly good at fighting, and she really dared to fight. It is said that at a certain royal banquet, Princess Smoke beat the Dragon Blood leader Rune violently in front of Wuying Solaro.

In general, the power system of the Netherworld was that the Emperor was the absolute leader. He had been in the throne hall of the City of the Dead for a thousand years, during which only the Four Knights under the King had the qualifications to meet him.

The Emperor basically didn't manage war matters, but Wuying Solaro was fully responsible.

Among the four legions, Wuying Solaro was the commander-in-chief, and slightly below were Twisted Battle Armor, Dragon Blood leader Rune, and Princess Smoke.

After the Filthy Tree, Undead, and Dragon Blood sides went to war, they would each command their own legions to participate in the war. They were equal to each other, and only Wuying Solaro, or the Emperor above, could manage these three sides.

Su Xiao examined the Netherworld map in his hand. The strategy after the war started was there. After the war with the Netherworld started, their side would definitely be beaten by the Netherworld Main Force. This was unavoidable. Their Demon Beast Legion had not been improved by "Evolution Points." After adding points once or twice, they could fight hard with the Netherworld Main Force, and even be more aggressive than the other side.

At the beginning of the war, their side couldn't just be beaten. During this period, catching one of the enemy's legions and beating it hard was the best strategy.

Choose one of the Undead Legion and the Dragon Blood Legion. When the time comes, if there is a chance to beat one, beat whichever one.

Everything was ready. It was time to open the Netherworld Gate. Thinking of this, Su Xiao got up and went downstairs. The Son of the World, Lekli, who had previously gone to the Great Gathering Place, had returned at this time.

"I lost the container core."

Lekli spoke, his face pale with a bit of anemia.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. Previously, Aseya also went to the Great Gathering Place of the Platinum Company, secretly tracking the Son of the World, Lekli.

Lekli didn't tell the truth. The container core that could absorb illness and pain was given by him to a local old doctor. There was no other special reason, just because the Great Gathering Place, where the poor were numerous, needed it. Even though this world had never treated him kindly, this boy still chose to treat others kindly. This was the most fundamental, most pure kindness.

"Considered it clearly? During the process of opening the Netherworld Gate, you have an 80% chance of dying. If you shrink back, wait for the Netherworld to open the World Gate, and it will also connect here."

Baja spoke. Hearing this, the laziness on the face of the Son of the World, Lekli, disappeared a bit. He asked:

"I'm curious, can you win? If you can win, it doesn't matter if someone like me who should die is the first to be a sacrifice. It's considered waste utilization."

Hearing this, Baja pondered for a while and said: "There's no need to lie to you about this. We really might not win, but if we wait for the Netherworld to assemble its troops and then open the World Gate, we will definitely lose."

Hearing this, the Son of the World, Lekli, nodded thoughtfully. He said with emotion:

"Hey~, I see that the protagonists in stories all have beautiful girls throwing themselves into their arms. I went to the Great Gathering Place this time with this purpose, but I didn't meet a beautiful girl, and the watch my father left me was stolen. Really depressing."

Speaking of this, the Son of the World, Lekli, had an expression of having eaten a fly. After being uncomfortable for a while, he changed the subject and asked: "Is the process of opening that Netherworld Gate painful?"

"Boy, I'll give you an intuitive metaphor. First, you have to drive the spatial segmentation device, then use your blood as energy supply to induce the spatial connection between this world and the Netherworld, and finally, you use the spatial segmentation device to open the Netherworld Gate."

"Didn't understand."

"Simply put, it's you consuming blood to open the door."

"So that's how it is. You said it so complicatedly, who could understand."

Hello everyone, our public account will find cash and point coin red envelopes every day, as long as you follow, you can receive them. The last welfare at the end of the year, please seize the opportunity. Public account 【Book Friend Base】

"Ah this..."

Baja was speechless for a while. Seeing this, the Son of the World, Lekli, smiled and said: "When do we set off?"

"Set off now, follow me, boy."

Baja spread its wings and flew up, and the Son of the World, Lekli, rode on the back of a Demon Flame Dragon.

Su Xiao jumped onto the back of Barbato. Just as he was about to order Barbato to take off, Aseya also jumped up.

The main force set off, heading straight to 15 kilometers in front of the base. The Netherworld Gate would be opened here. This time, either they would be miserably defeated, or they would beat the enemy to death.

Soon they arrived at the predetermined location. An iron-black device nearly 20 meters high, covered with wires, stood here. This was the spatial segmentation device. The core part was made by Su Xiao with alchemy, and the shell and other parts were custom-made in the Empire.

Originally, the Empire politely refused. After Su Xiao went to "Oukai Star" last night, the Empire chose to help custom-make it. The manufacturing location was in New Star City, and it was sent this morning.

"This thing is really high."

The Son of the World, Lekli, looked up at the spatial segmentation device. He followed the metal steps to the driving place. Not long after, Baja connected various wires and blood collection tubes to him.

Sitting on the recessed seat of the spatial segmentation device, Lekli looked at the sky. A falcon soared past. The time for revenge he had been waiting for had arrived. Because of the Netherworld invasion, he not only lost all his relatives but also ate his own loved ones. Before this, he had never thought that a person could hate himself to such an extent.

"Must succeed."

After Lekli finished speaking, the spatial segmentation device was activated. Dark green brilliance immediately appeared in his body, making his skin and flesh much more transparent. His eye sockets and mouth were like screaming silently.

Hum~

The spatial segmentation device stopped suddenly just two seconds after it started. The dark green light in Lekli's body faded. He panted heavily, his face full of sweat, and said:

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, let me slow down. Which bastard made this thing? It's too painful to use."

After Lekli panted a few times, he gritted his teeth and activated the spatial segmentation device again.

Hum~

The earth began to tremble, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. The dark clouds formed a vortex directly above.

Boom!

A golden beam of light struck down, and the shell of the spatial segmentation device collapsed. Instead, a huge translucent door appeared in the air.

Click-clack~

A deep door-opening sound came. This was the Netherworld Gate. As the huge bronze double-door opened, the Netherworld Gate gradually turned from illusory to real, and finally completely manifested.

Boom!!

An impact spread, and countless wailing undead rushed out from the Netherworld Gate. The Netherworld Gate opened, and inside was a dark green chaos.

Suction came from inside the door. The spatial segmentation device bore the brunt, and together with it, the Son of the World, Lekli, was sucked into it.

Lekli's left arm was shattered, his eye sockets were empty, and his whole body was covered with ceramic-like cracks. Before being sucked into the Netherworld Gate, he muttered in a low voice:

"Mr. Bai Ye, you, must, win."

The vortex made of Netherworld mist rolled Lekli into it and disappeared.

Boom!

A Boundary Thunder tore through the sky, the strong wind stopped suddenly, and not long after, raindrops fell, soon turning into a torrential downpour.

The entire Netherworld Gate was hundreds of meters wide and over a thousand meters high, looking both spectacular and aged.

Su Xiao stood on the dragon's back, looking at the scene inside the door. He saw a city in the distance inside the door. In the center of the city, he could faintly see a hall towering into the dark clouds. This was the Throne Hall, the Throne Hall located in the City of the Dead.

Crack!

A Boundary Thunder fell. Su Xiao raised his hand, and the falling Boundary Thunder turned into a thunder spear, which he held in his hand.

In the downpour, Su Xiao stood on the back of Barbato, the thunder spear in his hand pointing at the City of the Dead inside the door.

"Roar!"

Barbato roared, their Demon Beast Legion swarmed out, and Demon Flame Dragons dived into the door. The final battle with the Netherworld officially began.
