Chapter 3758

"I guessed that you could continuously bring out some unexpected power, but this time you still exceeded my expectations."

The man with snake pupils and no nose seemed unable to feel his own injury at all. He looked across the sea at Xia De, who was still treating himself:

"You clearly possess such powerful doomsday power yourself, yet you are still stopping me from calling for the doomsday. Do you know how much permanent impact you caused to the world by using that card just now?"

Actually, the impact this time was still considered small, after all, there was the Snake's Mystical Lock to block the power. And Xia De originally thought the other party knew the information about those calamity beasts. It seemed the Snake did not know everything either.

Xia De did not want to discuss this issue with it:

"Relying only on the power of your current body cannot stop me, so what other tricks do you have next?"

The Snake was completely unaffected by Xia De's provocation:

"Our final battle will be at the summit, not at the pier at the foot of the mountain. Now it is enough, yes, enough."

Black smoke was still constantly rising from the two blood holes on Xia De's left shoulder. Even though the moon fire had already wrapped around the wound and the initial fire was burning the toxins in the wound, he still felt the left half of his body becoming more and more numb.

Ms. White, who was coiled around his arm, was already reminding Xia De that if he persisted a little longer, she could open a passage. And Xia De was very sure that the state of the snake on the opposite side was no better than his own.

A thought already made a decision. Even if he left smoothly at this moment, it would only pull everything back to the starting point. At this moment, he temporarily had the upper hand, and he must leave this clone of the other party behind.

Thus, Xia De's body turned into pure silver moonlight and slashed forward again. In the short three seconds that followed, the two touched each other at least ten times on the sea surface.

And when Xia De stepped forward for the last time, enduring the discomfort of the left half of his body, the 【Spatial Stability Halo】 that locked the space had already been activated the moment he appeared again. This time, appearing from behind the Snake, he reached his hand toward the Snake's heart, but the Snake's head turned 180 degrees, and after its neck stretched, it bit Xia De on the neck.

The re-injection of unknown toxins immediately made Xia De feel his whole body becoming paralyzed, but his right hand, which was glowing with purple light, also pierced through the Snake's left chest.

The heart in the body was not important; what was important was that Xia De felt he had really touched a ring inside its body. Although it was not the main body, if he could shatter this ring here, the Snake would probably be in big trouble.

One person bit the other's neck, and one person pierced the other's chest. Subsequently, the hands that the two had free slammed toward the other's body at the same time. The thunder wave and the black shock wave caused Xia De and the Snake to draw parabolas from the air and fall to different positions on the water surface.

After the Snake fell to the water surface, it quickly climbed up. At this time, with the penetrating wound on its chest as the center, dense cracks appeared on its body:

"Noble fate..."

After looking at Xia De from afar, it leaped and turned into black light and flew up, passing directly through the barrier covering this area and disappearing into the night:

"After I complete the molting, God-Caller, even the 【Nobility】 recognized by Mr. Ring can no longer suppress my fate."

And Xia De, lying on the seawater, could no longer mock it at this time. He held the arc of 【Destruction】 in his hand. This was pure fate and had nothing to do with doomsday. And the blood holes caused by the two snake fangs on his neck and shoulder continued to emit black light. In his blurred consciousness, he felt his soul was about to be pulled to another dimension.

Thus he understood why those people bitten by the Infinite Snake would show abnormalities in their souls when they died. The essence of the toxins of the Snake and the Infinite Snake was actually...

The passage to the outside world had been opened, but Xia De had no time to seize that momentary opportunity to get up and leave.

Things seemed to be developing according to the Snake's plan, but in its original plan, the two should not have been waiting for the arrival of 1:00 AM in this state of being simultaneously seriously injured.

The power of this clone of Ms. White was also about to be completely exhausted, and she could not transfer Xia De outside the barrier. But fortunately, a figure flew in from the outside of the opened hole.

The white snake disappeared here with satisfaction. The Snake was about to break free, and she still needed to go to maintain the mountain so it would not collapse. And Xia De, with blurred consciousness, saw a familiar face holding him in a panic in a trance—

It was Xivi, who had been sent by Luweiya to inform Xia De about Ellie's news at the first opportunity.

"Xia De! Xia De!"

The Great Witch of Light picked up Xia De, who was lying on the sea surface, but found that no matter how she shouted, Xia De did not give a response. Although his heartbeat and breathing were still normal, he was like the Sleeping Beauty in a fairy tale, no matter what, he did not open his eyes because of the calling.

Xivi immediately held Xia De and transferred to the shore first. She did not know what had happened here just now, but she could feel what kind of power was in the two blood holes bitten by the snake fangs on Xia De's body.

And after she held Xia De and landed on the trestle, a voice asked behind her:

"Do you want to save him?"

The Great Witch with big brown wavy hair turned around abruptly. On the black sea surface swaying outside the trestle, a beautiful woman's head looked up at her. That beautiful face could be called stunning even in the eyes of a witch. Eyes that looked like Xia De's pupil color looked at her with a smile:

"Do you want to save Xia De Hamilton? I won't lie; his current situation actually only needs some time to recover naturally. But I know you want him to recover immediately. Then, do you want to make a deal with me?"

"You are..."

Xivi's face was quite ugly. She of course realized what this thing was; she just didn't expect to encounter this at this moment.

But fortunately, a second strange voice sounded immediately, and this time the voice came from the side of the trestle close to the land:

"Lady, I thought you wouldn't lay a hand on the people around Xia De Hamilton. This is a bit immoral."

The blonde man in a white robe said, holding a rolled-up piece of parchment in his hand, with a mysterious expression on his face.

The eyes of "If" crossed Xivi, who was holding Xia De, and looked at "Desire". "Desire" in the water smiled:

"I just want to help her. Whether to trade or not depends on her own decision. You see, I didn't use any coercive means.

And I didn't appear randomly. After coming near this island, even though I didn't join the stage, I saw some fate. If that interesting soul hadn't appeared, Xivi Aphrodite, you would have encountered me alone in Cold Water Port City in 1853."

Xivi didn't understand what she was talking about, but if Xia De hadn't fainted, he would definitely understand, and "If" understood even better.

If the Outsider hadn't appeared, the one investigating the damp small church in the basement of the Aphrodite Mansion during the "Sea Return" incident in Cold Water Port would definitely have been the owner of the mansion at that time, Xivi Aphrodite. And the one who discovered the secret passage and encountered the mermaid about to break free would of course also have been her.

But because of Xia De's appearance, the Great Witch of Light, who should have been involved with the Unknowable-level relic "Desire" early on and thus obtained powerful power, missed that encounter. Consequently, most of the scenes that should have belonged to her in the story of "Whispering Poem" all disappeared.

Of course, this was actually a good thing. After all, even with Adele Isabella using the power of the Council to constantly help Xivi control the terrible gift from "Desire", Xivi eventually died before the doomsday.

And now, the "Mermaid" who glimpsed this possibility because of the chaos of fate, found the witch who should have met her again. But fortunately, the sudden whim of Yiluna's calling in the cedar forest before the final battle finally played a role. The Unknowable-level relic 【If】 said to the Unknowable-level relic 【Desire】:

"Leave, if you don't want to be involved in this story, then leave at this moment."

As both were Unknowable-level relics, Xivi didn't know which one was more powerful. Anyway, she couldn't beat either of them, but she could understand that "If" was clearly helping her.

And that beautiful woman's head in the water was still smiling:

"I have no intention of fighting with you, but is it really good for me to leave like this? Xivi Aphrodite should have played a pivotal role in this epic of the Sixth Era because of her encounter with me, but now she has missed that opportunity. Look at her appearance now~

I can read her heart. She longs for more powerful power, she worries about being surpassed by other young witches whose qualifications are far inferior to hers, she is jealous of the Great Witch of Earth who was promoted to the thirteenth tier, she hopes that she can exert more influence by the side of that interesting soul.

And I, can give you such an opportunity now—Witch Xivi Aphrodite, don't you long for this power?"

Xivi admitted that some of the thoughts in her heart were guessed correctly, but she still shook her head very firmly:

"I don't need these, I am very satisfied with my current life."

Xivi knew very well the price of dealing with this thing. "Desire" smiled and said:

"I just came following the original fate. Since you and I have met, fate will naturally attract you to me again. Refused this time, we will meet again in the future. Of course, if that interesting soul helps you every time, you can of course not care about me."

After speaking, she stopped talking with a smile. Xivi understood that this was not a threat from the other party, but just stating a fact. And "If" standing on the trestle provided another choice:

"Then, do you want to play a game of 'If'?"

This was said to Xivi:

"The toxins of the Doomsday Snake of Fate pulled his consciousness briefly into that world filled with yellow sand; the power of desire resonates with the fate you might have once possessed; and I, can let you see a story that will no longer happen."

"If" unfolded the parchment roll in his hand. Golden runes flew out in strings, circling him and writing stories that Xivi couldn't understand:

"By playing this game, you might be able to let Xia De Hamilton wake up early, or even get a Ring of Fate that belongs to you; but if you fail, you will accept the gift from this lady in the water, but you will indeed become powerful because of it. And regardless, this game will completely sever your fate connection with that lady in the water. I can guarantee this point."

Xivi remembered that Xia De had said that "If" had given a Ring of Fate of 【Hope】, and also kindly revealed the secret about the Tower of Myriad Phenomena. Xivi, who understood that she couldn't beat anyone at this moment, chose to believe "If" instead of "Desire":

"I want to play the game of 'If'."

She was already prepared to face the power of the Unknowable-level relic, but the moment she agreed, Xivi and the unconscious Xia De disappeared from the pier trestle in golden light together.

【If】, holding the unfolded parchment roll, asked 【Desire】 in the seawater:

"Do you understand what the fate you saw means?"

"I didn't understand originally, but I understood when I saw you."

"Then you appeared at this moment, was it to tempt the witch, or to help Xia De Hamilton?"

The head in the sea continued to smile, but she was slowly rowing in the direction away from the trestle:

"Whether it is temptation or help, this is not important. What is important is the result, isn't it? Although I don't know what you want to do, but you 'Ancients', your preparations and your plans will definitely make this world more interesting."

While the head in the water disappeared, the man on the trestle also disappeared together. Xia De and Xivi did not return. This game of "If" was clearly completely different from Yiluna's three game experiences.
