Chapter 834: Chapter 743: Isavia Grand Inquisition (5)
"Hand it over," Jian Liu said. "The Key to the Purification World."
"In your current state, you’re no match for me."
"Do you really believe her words?" "Deep White Midnight" breathed heavily. "She is deceitful and arrogant. Do you truly think she wants to save this world!?"
"She’s only doing it for herself. She wants to stand at the pinnacle of this world!"
"Deep White Midnight" cast an olive branch to Jian Liu.
"Cosmic Heavy Industries still has a chance to rise. My powers are akin to hers; both require a constant flow of wealth. This era is about to end, whether a new Golden Era awaits behind the door, or a time destined for decay..."
"As long as she’s willing to step up and do something for this scarred world, I’m willing to follow her."
Jian Liu interrupted, unconvinced by "Deep White Midnight’s" words, quickly loading his bullets.
"You’re different from her, far too different," Jian Liu mocked coldly. "Elias."
"What I admire most about her is that whenever she finds herself in dire straits, she always manages to quickly rally and rise up again, with endless courage to start anew each time."
"Yet you, even when you’re nearly cornered, always maintain that lofty demeanor."
"What can your wealth buy you?"
"Can it buy your life?"
A gunshot rang out,
the solemn symphony faded away.
The stage above was a scene of desolation, filled with the crisscrossed bodies of people.
The Plague Knight inserted his revolver back into the holster, stepped over the corpses, and approached Xu Xiaoyou, kneeling slightly to respectfully offer a hand-kiss salute.
"Everme."
Xu Xiaoyou spoke the other’s name.
"President, please forgive my negligence; I should have released you from the shackles sooner."
"Your goal has been achieved, the world has seen the truth. The sacrifices of the fate resisters won’t be forgotten; all of this is worthwhile."
"Congratulations on cleansing the past sins."
"Sins cannot be washed away," Xu Xiaoyou frowned, "Even the smallest of sins cannot be allowed to be forgiven. No one can substitute for the innocent in pardoning."
"Everyone is a prisoner shackled and chained walking this world, destined to bear a heavy burden. All we can do is move forward for those still alive, easing the pain of the shackles."
Everme paused slightly, his gaze suddenly becoming heated, looking at Xu Xiaoyou like seeing a gorgeous gem covered in dust.
"What’s wrong?"
"You seem different," Everme said. "More charming, bringing joy."
Xu Xiaoyou said nothing, just turned her head.
"Let them all return."
It seems that, on this world line, Everme, Evergreen Ivy, Tiger Tail Orchid, and Jian Liu are all her followers. She is the President of the Dawn Society, leading these fate resisters and witches in a long-lasting battle.
The main storyline of this world line no longer revolves around the Eight-legged Spider Race crisis, but the witches and Pole Star Association, who pose the greatest threat to human survival.
At this moment, the collapsed ceiling was pushed aside, and the figure of the Burning Apostle reappeared in their eyes, flames erupting from his headless neck, supporting the broken wall, resurrecting in extreme anger!
"You rebels will pay for your presumption."
With that, the Burning Apostle surged with fire, transforming into a Fire Demon, terrifying enough to burn everything!
"This guy, isn’t easy to deal with," Everme said gravely.
"How are things on your side?"
"All sorted out," Evergreen Ivy answered. "These company dogs, the gates of the new world are not open to them."
"Looks like there’s no loose ends," Tiger Tail Orchid inspected the corpse-laden passage.
Jian Liu’s side was slow to respond, seemingly facing some trouble.
"President, we have to go!"
Everme urgently took Xu Xiaoyou’s hand.
Xu Xiaoyou then realized that even freed from the antimagic stone shackles, her body was weak to the point of absurdity, unable to sense the presence of the Skill Card.
The world seemed different for her.
...
Plague, war, famine, death, symbolizing the apocalypse, the war horses pulled the war chariot across the sky, pursued relentlessly by the Burning Apostle behind them. Torrential flames chased the war chariot towards the firmament!
"You traitors, there’s nowhere to run!"
The Burning Apostle roared, throwing gathered fireballs from his hands. In the blink of an eye, the fireballs swelled into two blazing suns, pressing down towards the war chariot’s direction.
"President, don’t just stand there, use the blood curse," Everme whispered a warning.
The extreme heat wave continued to approach, Evergreen Ivy and Tiger Tail Orchid resisting the fiery onslaught.
In the middle of the war chariot, Xu Xiaoyou looked at her hand, discovering four different curse marks on the back of it, each corresponding to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
She roughly knew how the world line’s version of her fought.
After a moment of contemplation, she cut her hand with a knife, the flying blood shaping in the air and quickly merging into the curse of ’war.’
"War, I want you to fight for me. I grant you honor and courage, let your forged iron hooves trample everything, bringing me victory," she whispered softly.
"Understood!"
Evergreen Ivy responded loudly.
His aura suddenly surged several times, rising and foot-setting on the war chariot, opening his sturdy arms, as the airborne motorcycle transformed into a towering shield, meeting the meteoric sun.
Dazzling white light illuminated the whole sky instantly, the blasts descended from the heavens and plunged into the earth, terrifying all living creatures, shaking the entire land!
The sun and shield clashed and contended, the sky fell into a scorching haze, fiery red and blood red madly plundering and devouring each other, the counterforce flattening countless hills along the way.
Unaware of how long it had been, the four-wheeled war chariot rushed out of the shadow of ash, the war horses’ neighs resounding through the heavens and earth.
As a lot of blood was lost, Xu Xiaoyou felt her body growing weaker.
The ’War’ curse mark began to fade.
"President, how are you?" Everme instinctively slackened the reins, showing concern.
The ash rolled, and the Burning Apostle burst from the right, two fire columns hit the side of the war chariot.
"Damn, this persistent thing! President, let me!" Tiger Tail Orchid
In a bout of dizziness, Xu Xiaoyou shook her head, lifting her hand again.
Just as she intended to activate the ’Death’ curse mark, her peripheral vision glimpsed a figure she had not anticipated.
As the twilight dissipated, in the far distance above the horizon, there was a patch of crimson, tightly following the war chariot.
"Xiaochun?" Xu Xiaoyou frowned.
And the next moment, only to see the red-haired girl bite her thumb, fresh blood flying away, an ancient crimson Battle Blade appeared in her palm.
She sped down towards the war chariot, the swinging blade light slicing through every obstacle!
Bang!
The red-haired girl fell like a scarlet meteor, crashing in front of the war chariot.
Facing Xu Xiaoyou’s intense gaze, Chichu Chun’s mouth slowly curled up:
"Finally found you, darling!"
