Chapter 871

Trier, inside the botanical garden.

Higgdon of the "All-Things-End Society" saw the two "Witches" disappear and immediately raised his right hand, scratching the black-brown age spots on the surface of his face.

That patch ulcerated instantly, crawling out with the kind of maggots that travel inside decaying corpses, and dripping blue-green pus mixed with yellow.

As soon as that disgusting pus met the air, it evaporated instantly, permeating without a trace.

Yu Jianna had just circled to the side of Higgdon, waiting for Forsyth to launch an attack, assisting from the side, when she suddenly had a feeling of being lazy and not wanting to do anything, just like suffering from something called "lazy disease."

This was as if the corresponding desire had withered, showing signs of decay, and it was also like some tissues in the brain beginning to show lesions.

Yu Jianna followed her own spiritual intuition and did not hesitate to actively use "Mirror Substitute," not waiting for the problem to become serious enough to be passively triggered.

Two shattering sounds of "crack" rang out at the same time. Forsyth, who was "invisible" and approaching Higgdon to release the "Black Tears" plague, also made the same response.

The figures of the two were first outlined, then quickly turned into mirrors.

During this process, when Forsyth and Yu Jianna's "Mirror Substitutes" had not yet completely transformed, it could be seen that their various internal organs had grown obvious tumors that were absorbing nutrients on their own, and multiple blood vessels around the heart and inside the brain were also quickly becoming fragile.

If "Witches" were using pathogens and controlling diseases, then the path Higgdon was on seemed to be the pathogen itself, the symbol of disease.

If Forsyth and Yu Jianna hadn't actively triggered "Mirror Substitute," waiting until the various tissues of their bodies had truly undergone lesions, it wouldn't have been an easy thing to deal with by relying on substitutes. They would have had to hold a ritual, pray to the "Primordial Witch" or corresponding angels, to transfer the disease to the preset mirror, or one person would have had to entangle the target while the other stayed far away from this area, letting Lu Jianuo use surgery to cooperate with the "Physician's" ability to treat it.

On the other side, the disease had not yet spread, and Vazan Sanson, whose golden hair was slightly white, had already found several fragments of fate that could be manipulated from the mercury-colored river of fate representing Louis.

As long as he didn't touch the most critical part of the angel's fate, he didn't need to worry about being backlashed and losing control on the spot.

Likewise, he, who already possessed divinity, could observe most of Louis's fate if he didn't peek into the fate fragments containing dangerous scenes and knowledge.

Louis ran halfway, opened his mouth, stretched out his palm, and when he wanted to deprive the target of the "Ring-in-the-Middle" ability, Vazan Sanson, who had already raised his arm, pressed lightly, enlarging a certain fate tributary from a distance.

Thump!

Louis, this little child, tripped over a stone protruding from the ground and fell face-first.

While manipulating fate, Vazan Sanson also cast his gaze toward the scorching white and cyan flame long spear that Lu Mian had turned into.

His eyes lit up, instantly condensing two dark green rays.

This was an ability Vazan Sanson had recently contracted.

—The biggest problem with the "Contracted Person" of the Fate path is that the upper limit of the contracted ability cannot break through the contracted creature itself. That is to say, the abilities contracted in the early stage are difficult to grow again, unless the contracted creature is at the demigod level from the beginning. It's just that, currently hindered by his own spirit and flesh, he cannot bring the contracted ability to the extreme, so it's possible that every time he increases a sequence, the contracted ability is enhanced.

Below Sequence 4, without the qualitative change factor of divinity, even Sequence 7 or even Sequence 8 level contracted abilities can participate in Sequence 5 level battles and play an important role. But once reaching Sequence 4, when facing opponents at the same level, most of them are difficult to be of use and need to find suitable contracted creatures again.

The dark green ray had just erupted when it fell on the scorching white and cyan flame long spear, not giving Lu Mian the slightest room to dodge.

However, there was no figure of Lu Mian inside that flame long spear.

After the scorching long spear quickly withered and withered, there was nothing inside, just clusters of flames.

When the figures of the two "Witches" were outlined again inside the ruins of the wooden hut, Lu Mian's body, holding the "Sword of Courage," also appeared behind Vazan Sanson.

"Teleport"!

After the "Pus-Swollen Severed Hand" regained its complete body, Lu Mian's "Spirit Realm Shuttle" ability had also been significantly enhanced!

Just then, a semi-transparent figure crawled out from behind Vazan Sanson.

That figure was very similar to Vazan Sanson, but more indifferent and cold.

This was also an ability Vazan Sanson contracted after becoming a "Ring-in-the-Middle," belonging to the death domain.

He had always been guarding against Lu Mian using "Teleport" to sneak attack his back!

Although this would likely trigger the "Ring-in-the-Middle" effect, he still had to prevent it just in case, and this could also be used as a trap.

Facing the cold and indifferent Vazan Sanson phantom pouncing over, Lu Mian's thoughts began to settle, his body slowly turned cold, and the scorching white and cyan flames on the "Sword of Courage" in his hand also gradually dimmed.

…………

On the primitive island where the "Black Emperor" mausoleum was located, in the white mist permeated with thin mist.

Pailer's face, sometimes twisted and sometimes expanded, cast her gaze toward three of the points of light.

Next would be the most important and critical part of the Vortex Plan.

Accompanied by the gaze of Pailer's face, two of the three points of light suddenly grew larger.

One reflected a villa permeated with white mist, revealing a blood-red figure, but also shrouded in holy light;

The other was hazy, as if a figure was suspended in mid-air. That figure was wrapped in yellowish bandages, completely pierced by countless brown tree branches, and between the bandages and tree branches were a large number of thorns and thorny roses. Although they were intertwined with each other, they were constantly withering and falling off.

At this time, the suspended figure's stomach sometimes bulged and sometimes flattened, as if a new life was tossing inside.

Beside this figure was also a huge tree that had been poured with black asphalt-like substance. The tree stretched out strange and terrifying arms to act as branches, and there were one after another black-and-white eyeballs filled with bloodshot eyes rolling everywhere on the surface.

There was also a point of light that had already grown larger itself, inside which was the scene of Topsay of the "Gourmet School of Thought" biting the invisible seal on the blue sea.

…………

Inside the dim "Black Emperor" mausoleum.

Hearing her father's question, Bei Er Na Dai was silent for two seconds and said:

"I will try my best to stop this kind of thing."

Roselle looked at his eldest daughter and smiled with emotion:

"Everyone makes mistakes. When I was young, no, until I was trapped here, not daring to return to life, I was making mistakes, doing quite a few wrong things, some of which were even bad things. After living in this mausoleum and occasionally being able to obtain a certain amount of quiet and clarity, I finally was able to seriously examine my past life, and I discovered that some of my choices really brought a large amount of unnecessary harm. Of course, I also did quite a few things right, and many were still good things."

Seeing Bei Er Na Dai's expression become dim and also revealing a bit of stubbornness, Roselle raised his right palm slightly and pressed it down with some doting:

"No need to blame yourself too much. Regarding your choices and the things you did, I am actually very happy and very gratified. Seeing my little princess willing to violate her principle of 'do what you will, but do no harm' that she has held for many years to save her old father, and willing to bear the risk of falling into the abyss, I am happy and gratified from the bottom of my heart. This shows that I didn't love you in vain, and it shows that my family life wasn't that much of a failure!"

On the huge iron-black chair, that increasingly clear figure stood up.

He walked down from the high platform, walked to Bei Er Na Dai's front, and opened his arms.

Bei Er Na Dai felt as if she had returned to her childhood in a trance, instinctively throwing herself into her father's embrace, feeling that familiar but no longer warm broadness.

After a brief embrace, Roselle stroked Bei Er Na Dai's chestnut long hair, then passed her and walked toward the entrance of the black mausoleum, his figure becoming larger and larger.

"Papa?" Bei Er Na Dai turned her body and blurted out.

Roselle turned his head and responded with a smile:

"The vortex ritual has already begun. With the specialty of the 'Indefinite Mist' path, it will be very difficult for you to stop the subsequent transactions from pushing forward. Even if you want to kill that woman, it should be difficult to do so.

"But it doesn't matter, Papa will handle it."

Bei Er Na Dai suddenly understood what her father wanted to do. She took a big step, trying to catch up, but found that the distance between the two sides could not be narrowed no matter what.

At the same time, she shouted urgently:

"Papa, the pollution on you hasn't been balanced yet. Once the vortex ritual is destroyed, you won't even be able to return to your previous state!"

Roselle stopped at the entrance of the "Black Emperor" mausoleum, smiling and responding to his daughter who was full of anxiety, panic, and pain.

He raised his arm and said with high spirits:

"I was an emperor for several years, standing at the very peak of human power. I faced true gods directly, I fought angels, I had a group of subordinates willing to die for me.

"I also brought the brilliance of civilization to that era. Even after dying for over a hundred years, there are countless people chanting my name. I slept with many beautiful women, I dominated the fate of I don't know how many people, and when I fell into trouble and was no longer an emperor, my daughter was still willing to give up everything to save me and help me return to life!

"What regrets do I have in this life?"

Bei Er Na Dai heard the determination in her father's tone, her eyes turned red, and her voice became choked:

"Papa!"

She used various abilities, wanting to get close to her father, but that distance was like a separation between heaven and earth, unable to be narrowed no matter what.

The gentle smile appeared on Roselle's nearly completely clear face:

"Bei Er Na Dai, do you still remember when you were little, Papa often gave you lessons?"

Bei Er Na Dai felt a sourness in her nose, and her vision was already blurred:

"I remember, you taught me to recognize words, told me a large amount of knowledge, and also told me many, many, many fairy tales..."

Tears of crystal clear fell from the face of this "Mystery Queen."

Roselle nodded with satisfaction:

"I also still remember."

He continued with a bit of a smile:

"Today, Papa will give you the last lesson."

Roselle's expression gradually became serious. He looked at Bei Er Na Dai and opened his mouth with a sonorous voice:

"A great man has things he will do, and things he will not do!"

After saying this, Roselle turned his body and no longer looked at Bei Er Na Dai.

The gate of the "Black Emperor" mausoleum in front of him opened instantly.

The light outside shone in, shining on the giant-like Roselle figure, on the black armor, on the gorgeous cloak.

Bright, brilliant.
