Hate me, Miss Witch

Chapter 239: Watch the biggest meteor shower ever

Chapter 239: Watch the biggest meteor shower ever (8k)

Outside the world, the bronze palace.

All the drastic changes happened without any warning.

In just a few breaths, everything was settled.

The core of the Moon Goddess's divinity was corroded, and even her all-important soul was on the verge of collapse.

The originally cold and mysterious God of Silver Moon was now like a helpless cub, having completely lost his ability to resist.

If it were any other god, the Goddess of Life might not have succeeded so easily.

After all, although this is nominally a meeting of gods, the gods present do maintain relative unity in their overall stance, such as their attitude towards opposing the Dark Tower.

However, in the final analysis, the relationship between mythological creatures is that of hunter and prey. If there is an opportunity to attack secretly, they will never let it go. When other gods approach them rashly, they will inevitably maintain the most basic vigilance.

However, the God of Silver Moon is different.

As an ancient god who existed before the Glorious Age, because of her authority over the Silver Moon, she is a natural ally of the Sun God, the creator of the Glorious Age.

Therefore, in the Glorious Age, the status of the God of Silver Moon was quite high, and he was inherently superior to other subordinate gods and angels of the time.

Even though the catastrophe broke out later and the sun god fell, he was still a great existence that once sat on the throne of heaven for an entire era. Even after his fall, he still had a large number of fans and remnants.

As a result, the God of Silver Moon also has a relatively transcendent status in the world after the Cataclysm.

On the other hand, Life and Fertility, two equally ancient goddesses, are also allies of Silver Moon since the Age of Glory.

Even in the bloody catastrophe of the gods, the alliance of the three goddesses never betrayed each other.

So she never expected that in front of the gods and in full view of everyone, the goddess of life, Cui, would dare to attack her directly.

The Silver Moon God's momentary carelessness led to irreversible consequences.

……

boom--

The sound of divine power exploding rang out.

In just a moment.

A long river of blood emerged, manifesting horrific visions of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Thunder and storm mixed together, roaring loudly.

Mountains collapsed and swords clashed.

This is a vision of divine power bursting out.

Faced with the sudden changes that occurred from the God of Silver Moon, almost all the gods present were fully alert at this moment.

Divinity and authority flowed slowly in the broken starry sky, converging into a heavy, almost suffocating atmosphere.

The strength of the God of Silver Moon is definitely not weak among the many gods present.

If even she could end up in such an embarrassing situation in just a few breaths, how could other gods dare to say that they would be safe?

"Abundance."

"emerald."

"Do you know what you are doing?"

Among all the gods present, only the Dusk Giant, known as the "God of War", did not show any panic.

The giant of dusk just frowned slightly, and slowly looked towards the emerald green-haired girl who was slowly withdrawing her hand from the core of the Silver Moon God's divinity not far away, and the Mother Goddess of Fertility, the Queen of Life, Emerald.

"If it was any other god, that would be fine..."

"Most of them rose to prominence during the Glorious Era, and they don't know much about the ancient secrets before the Glorious Era, so naturally they don't know about Silver Moon's special status."

"However, you are all ancient gods who have risen since before the Radiant Era. You should naturally know what the Silver Moon represents."

"What gives you the confidence to do this?"

He slowly looked around, overlooking the other gods around him.

"The original holy relic? Or maybe you have already taken a step forward on the long stairway to godhood without my knowledge."

"Or maybe you have already won over other allies in secret."

"Who is on your side, death or the storm, that gives you the courage to be enemies with all the gods, including me?"

As early as when the Moon Goddess was assassinated, the Twilight Giant, known in the name of war, had already noticed something.

At the same time, He is also the only one among all the gods present who has the time and energy to rescue the God of Silver Moon.

But the God of War did not do so.

the reason is simple--

The Goddess of Fertility and Life, although her own authority is not good at fighting, but as an ancient god as ancient as herself, the God of War is very clear about the scheming of these two female ancient gods.

These two ancient gods who only care about their own interests would never do such a reckless thing.

This is openly making enemies with the gods.

The reason why abundance and life do this must be that there is some kind of reliance behind them, and a strong motivation driving them to do so.

The biggest possibility is that they have secretly contacted a larger alliance.

At this moment, they were preparing to use the discussion of the golden elf and the human named Shaya Egut as an excuse to close the net at the Council of Gods, purge the remnants, and at the same time hunt down their divinity.

However, facing the questioning of the God of War.

The beautiful emerald green eyes of the goddess of life, Cui, were still cold and indifferent.

It was obvious that the life of the God of Silver Moon was in her hands. With just a thought, she could kill him, and then plunder the divinity and authority of the Silver Moon Goddess to further enhance her own power.

On the long stairway to godhood, he took a solid step that would be enough to make other gods waste thousands of years.

However, the emerald green-haired girl from the Skywing Griffin tribe simply threw the unconscious body of the Silver Moon Goddess aside, with disdain flashing in her eyes, without even the slightest lingering attachment.

"Death, Storm?"

She glanced coldly at the dwarf in magnificent armor not far away, and at the phantom of a certain person whose entire body was hidden in the illusory river of bones in a sea of corpses and blood.

"A rotten one who reigns supreme among the skulls and corpses."

"A rude and disrespectful dwarf."

"Such a lowly and dirty being is qualified to command me and Abundance?"

For some reason, the Twilight Giant actually saw a hint of humility and admiration in the eyes of the Goddess of Life, Emerald—

Also, the irrepressible enthusiasm.

"You are qualified to command us, and let us become weapons to cut down the enemies. Even if we are crushed to pieces, we will have no regrets."

"From the beginning to the end, it was only the Master."

She glanced at the Silver Moon Goddess who had fallen into coma beneath her.

Those beautiful eyes suddenly showed a hint of coldness mixed with hatred and anger.

"I know that she has a close relationship with the fallen Sun God during the Glorious Era."

“Perhaps even when the Sun God revive from extinction and return from the distant star realm, he will still need the help of Silver Moon.”

"But so what?"

The goddess of life spoke slowly, word by word, without a trace of emotion in her beautiful emerald eyes.

"The Lord doesn't like second-hand goods that are stained with other people's marks."

"Yin Yue is such a filthy servant and maid, and she even blasphemed the Father God with her words. This sin cannot be repaid even if she dies."

"If Father God didn't need her, how could she, with her already dirty and filthy body, have such an honor to be reborn through Father God's hands?"

……

God the Father?

My Lord?

Hearing these words coming from the mouth of the Goddess of Life.

Even with the knowledge of the God of War as an ancient god, he still felt a little confused at this moment.

As ancient gods, they all rose in the chaotic era before the Age of Glory.

The so-called biological "father" had been buried countless epochs ago.

As for the gods' long lifespans, the years before they became gods have long been forgotten by them, and have not left the slightest mark in their souls.

Even if their former parents really appeared before these mythical creatures, they could not cause the slightest ripple in their souls.

As for "My Lord".

The Creator of the glorious age, the sun god, was indeed once referred to as "Lord" by the gods and angels.

But regardless of how many mythological creatures would still recognize their inferior status from gods and angels after the catastrophe...the Lord mentioned by the Goddess of Life would definitely not be the old Sun God.

However, he is one of the oldest gods still in existence.

Soon, the God of War made some associations from the previous words of the God of Silver Moon and the statement of the Goddess of Life that he "blasphemed the Father with words."

"Char Egut."

The majestic words were like the roar of thunder.

"It's him, the mysterious human whose origin I still can't figure out, right?"

"I originally thought that Yin Yue and I had taken it seriously enough."

"After all, if a pet that he has contracted with can hunt demigods, then as a beastmaster, his strength must not be inferior to that of his contracted pet."

"It's very likely that he will be as troublesome as the golden elf who mastered the "Silver Fire"."

"But...now it seems that I still underestimated the danger of the other party."

"but--"

boom.

Around the Dusk Giant, the broken divine power surged like a raging tide.

In an instant, a certain eternal, vicissitudes of life and death slowly diffused out.

A majestic and indifferent divine light shone in the Dusk Giant's pupils, and a bronze halberd fell silently into his hands.

"Perhaps I have been silent for too long, or perhaps the human named Char Egut has been too lucky along the way and has been favored by fate, so he has become arrogant and lost his original intention."

"I just want you to surrender and gain your help..."

"Do you think you can challenge the very concept of God?"

when--

It's like the ringing of ancient bronze bells.

At this moment, the frenzied murderous intent spread throughout the entire palace and even across the star realm.

For the vast majority of mythical creatures that have regained their intellect and reason, in order to suppress the tendency of their souls to become crazy and out of control, most of them eventually choose the path of the power of faith, spreading their own beliefs on the Western Continent, gathering believers, and establishing their own religious orders and theocracy.

But war is different.

As the god of war, the power he holds is killing and strife.

And even after the catastrophe, the Age of Gods ended and humans rose.

However, there has never been a lack of wars caused by killing and strife between humans and their kingdoms.

As long as the war continues on the Western Continent, the entire Western Continent will be his kingdom of God. Every soldier on the battlefield will be his believer, providing power to the God of War.

"You forgot one thing—"

The words of the Dusk Giant were like the roar of a mighty wave.

"I don't care who is behind you."

"It could be that mysterious human, or it could be the storm, or it could be death."

"Or maybe, all of this is just a self-torture trick directed and performed by you and Yin Yue—"

"I don't care."

"because--"

"All the schemes and tricks of insects and ants are meaningless in the face of absolute power."

The majestic divine light swept over with the momentum of thousands of troops and swords and spears fighting.

This is a full-strength attack from the ancient god, the God of War.

Even though they are both ancient gods, the powers of the two gods of fertility and life do not specialize in fighting and killing.

Once touched by the light that carries a sense of death, it will inevitably suffer severe damage.

For gods, once they are injured, the problem cannot be solved by drinking a few bottles of healing potions like low-level extraordinary beings.

There is almost nothing in this world that can heal the wounds of gods. The only thing they can do is lie dormant in the astral realm and heal over a long period of time.

But it was obvious that at this moment, with the relationship so thoroughly torn apart, once fertility and life were severely damaged, the other mythical creatures would never give them time to escape.

At that time, the only outcome that awaits them is death.

However - facing the deadly divine light, Fengruo's delicate and indifferent face did not reveal the slightest emotion.

Her bright red lips moved slightly.

"three."

"two."

"one."

The cold and emotionless whisper of the Mother Goddess of Fertility echoed throughout the empty bronze palace.

what is she doing?
Instead of thinking about dodging, or joining forces with life to resist his own attack, he is counting down here?
What will happen when the countdown ends?
Such a thought flashed through the mind of the God of War.

However, the next moment——

"zero."

The final countdown, like the bell of fate, slowly echoed in the empty bronze hall.

……

Endless Sea, Elf King's Court.

In a secondary dimension called the Garden of Eden.

"You are really worthy of me, Xiao Ai."

“Even the most ordinary oatmeal can be made to taste this good.”

Char scooped a spoonful of oatmeal porridge into his mouth, and while expressing his heartfelt praise, he yawned unconsciously.

It was Char's unintentional yawn that attracted the attention of the blonde girl in front of him.

Airola looked at Xia suspiciously. "You didn't stay at home and sleep peacefully last night, but sneaked out to fool around?"

No one knew what had stimulated this girl recently, and she started practicing meditation day and night again.

Twenty-three hours out of the twenty-four hours in a day were spent in the meditation room, so Char hadn't enjoyed his lap pillow at night, which was his daily benefit, for a long time.

But even so, Airola would still insist on ending meditation at five in the morning every day and preparing breakfast for Char.

In Airola's own words, if she didn't keep a close eye on him, Char would probably skip breakfast out of laziness, and skipping breakfast is unhealthy for the stomach.

When saying this, the girl had no idea that with her and Char's current status, it would not be a big deal even if they did not eat for decades.

It was as if the two people at this moment were not the high and mighty, extraordinary and transcendent thrones above the clouds, but were just two inconspicuous students in the prosperous city of Camelot.

In order to obtain extraordinary materials for daily practice, he also needed to complete bounty missions offered by the Governing Bureau and the military, and bargain carefully for a piece of second-level extraordinary material in the black market.

Ordinary, hard, yet fulfilling and satisfying.

"Xiao Ai, what are you talking about? I was just sleeping last night."

Xia Ya waved his hand.

After being arrested many times by his childhood sweetheart, Char also gained some experience.

If I tell a lie, Airola's intuition EX will definitely detect it. In that case, I will choose to tell the truth.

He was indeed sleeping last night...

However, where exactly he slept and with whom he slept is debatable.

"As for the reason for yawning..."

"Xiao Ai, do you remember that I said before that I would set off a grand fireworks display for you?"

"During this period, I have spent a lot of mental energy on this."

This statement is also true.

Char had indeed put a lot of effort into the big fireworks, and it was reasonable that the frequent use of mental power would bring about some negative effects.

Char's actions really diverted Airola's attention.

She couldn't help but look at Xia and tilted her head: "What on earth is going on that requires you to spend so much effort to prepare for it now?"

Xia thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Ai, do you still remember the remnants of the history of Esgania, when I launched a "nuclear explosion" in order to deal with the evil god, Vermillion Moon, who turned the entire empire into his own kingdom?"

The blonde girl nodded.

Although she was not with Char that time, she later learned through her own channels about Char's experiences in the remnants of Esgania's history.

As for Airola's own source of information, it was naturally a ferret from the same hometown as Airola, who had already invested all his money in Xiao Ai shares and had long since identified his mistress as an insider.

"Nuclear explosion, or according to Yui's skill name - "Fantasy Collapse. Soul Fission""

"Converting mass into pure energy, with my less than legendary size at the time, I was able to destroy a half-crippled Ancient God."

"This is a miracle that belongs only to mechanics, and it is also the highest peak that a magical construct can reach in terms of pure destructive power."

Char smiled and said, "However, the "nuclear explosion" that uses magic factor as a fusion reaction product is subject to the density of magic energy itself and mysterious reasons-"

“No matter how much the magic crystals inside are stacked and compressed, the ultimate destructive power is only enough to destroy a half-broken evil god like Vermillion Moon, which has less than half the power of its prime.”

"If we want to increase the equivalent of a nuclear explosion even more, the amount of magic crystals needed as reaction materials will be enormous, and the size of the nuclear explosion weapon we create will become extremely large."

"Not only is it heavy and expensive to manufacture, but the conditions for releasing it will also become extremely strict. If the timing is wrong, the opponent can easily dodge it in advance, so it has no practical significance."

"So, ever since I destroyed the Scarlet Moon with a nuclear explosion, I haven't used the ability of "Fantasy Collapse" much anymore."

"But... that was a 'nuclear explosion' that used high-purity magic crystals as a reaction source."

"So--"

"If the magic crystal is not used as the reaction source."

There was a slight pause in Char's words, which contained a hint of profound meaning.

"Instead, with a higher unit mass, after converting the mass into energy, its destructive power will directly increase exponentially..."

"The so-called——"

"What about "divine power"? "

Aurora's beautiful sky-blue eyes narrowed slightly.

Although she doesn't like planning and analysis on a daily basis, she is more accustomed to using intuition and fighting to solve problems.

But that's because with Char by her side, Airola doesn't need to think too much.

She only needed to carry out Char's orders unconditionally, become the sharpest sword in his hand to cut off his enemies, and also serve as the strongest shield, protecting the young man with her life. That was enough.

But Airola is, after all, a throne-level beastmaster, and her mental power has reached the point where it can become an ocean in itself.

All he needs to do is use his vast spiritual power to deduce and analyze——

She could clearly know that when Char mentioned "the collapse of fantasy", or "nuclear explosion"...

When the source of the reaction is replaced by magic crystals and divine power whose unit mass far exceeds that of magic power, a terrifying improvement will occur.

"But...Char, you yourself have no divinity or authority, and have never mastered divine power."

"It would be difficult and extremely risky to use divine power as a reaction source to launch a nuclear explosion."

Airola spoke with some concern.

The power of a nuclear explosion, which converts mass into pure destructive force, is indeed powerful, but it also comes with great risks.

If one is not careful and fails to control the process of "illusion collapse" and "soul particle fission", then the nuclear explosion that annihilates everything will also affect oneself.

"In theory, it is indeed difficult to achieve."

Xia Ya nodded.

"After all, once the fantasy collapse chain is formed, it can no longer be stopped. Instead, it will uncontrollably draw in all the divinity and divine power around it, becoming part of the fantasy collapse chain."

"But the formation of the "Fantasy Collapse" technique requires someone to be responsible for the initial activation."

"Because of the chain reaction, the person who is responsible for the initial startup process, or the "ignition", is the center of the nuclear explosion and will find it extremely difficult to escape the killing range of the nuclear explosion and will inevitably be affected."

“Although I have been annoyed with those gods for a long time, I still don’t want to explode with them.”

"I can't bear to leave you, Xiao Ai, Xi Bao, Your Majesty and the others."

Chara smiled.

"but--"

"Isn't this a coincidence..."

"It just so happens that there are a few goddess friends who have been touched by my love and are willing to sacrifice their lives to prove the truth."

"And—they happen to be very good at divine powers."

"It is possible to easily complete the process that is the first step in the "Fantasy Collapse" ritual."

Airola looked at Char calmly with her sky-blue eyes: "Char, don't you think your laughter is evil now? It's like a demon bewitching people."

"So what if she's a demon? Aren't demons like Diris quite cute?"

Xia Ya's words paused slightly.

"Besides, I'm not as philanthropic as you think, Xiao Ai. I've done my best just to protect the people I care about, and I really don't have the energy to think about other things."

"No matter how beautiful they are, they are gods after all. They are enemies that I will never be on the same side with and I will have to fight them head-on."

"Since we are facing an enemy, then even if I transform into a demon and use the most despicable and cruel means I can think of to squeeze out their surplus value, that's fine."

"Perhaps some people would think that this is not fair and kind enough... But this is what I believe in as justice, a justice that uses any means necessary to deal with the enemy."

"The more I look like a devil in the eyes of those gods, the more it proves that I am doing the right thing."

He raised his head slightly and looked at the clear and illusory starry sky above the Garden of Eden.

"Xiao Ai, if I remember correctly, today should be your birthday."

"According to the physical sense of time we experience, this is indeed the case."

"It's just that we are now in the First Age. According to the timeline, I haven't even been born yet, so there is naturally no such thing as a birthday. Why are you suddenly saying this, Char?"

The blonde girl tilted her head, a strand of light golden hair falling from her fair forehead.

"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered the agreement we made in Ceylon."

Char closed his eyes.

"On that snowy night in Ceylon, you entrusted everything to me, and I promised you that I would take you to witness many beautiful things you had never seen before..."

"But in the days that followed, I always took you everywhere. Although we couldn't be called poor, we were definitely not well-off either. It was far from your situation as the eldest daughter of the Winter Flower Family."

"As for the entertainment activities such as the balls and opera performances that noble ladies are supposed to attend, I have never taken you to experience them even once."

"Even on a birthday like yours, I could only buy you a birthday cake, light candles, and sing a birthday song in a rented house."

"Later, when we settled down in the imperial capital, we completed our revenge on the Borgia family, lived a stable life, and had savings to do what we loved. But as we became Legends, our perception of the concept of time also became different from before. Ten or even a hundred years could pass at any time... We no longer had the original intention for festivals like birthdays."

Aurora blinked her sky-blue eyes: "Actually, I think a birthday like that is satisfying enough."

As the last survivor of Ceylon, she walked out of the north with Char. Although that life of wandering was hard, it has always been the most precious memory in Airola's heart and is firmly engraved in her heart.

Even though time flies, the memory has never faded.

Therefore, she just remembered clearly how difficult it was for Char to buy her a birthday cake, which was not yet popular at that time and had to be purchased in the upper city. Even for the nobles, it was a luxury.

At that time, Airola had not yet signed the contract with the Holy Spear to become a combat-type beastmaster, so her appetite was not that big. In order to save money, for several weeks after Airola's birthday, Char's breakfast became leftover cake.

One time, perhaps because the cake had been left out for too long and had gone bad, Char got an upset stomach from the leftover cake and had a fever for two days before he recovered... From then on, Airola never let Char buy her birthday cakes again, and she even became hostile to desserts as a food.

"Xiao Ai, you may not remember... but when you were a child, you were not as virtuous as you are now, and you didn't know how to be frugal and manage the household."

Xia couldn't help but smile: "I remember it very clearly. One time on your birthday, you blew out the candles and closed your eyes to make a wish."

"I asked you what you wished for, and you said you wanted to see a meteor shower as your birthday present."

"To be honest, I was a little nervous at the time. After all, if you said you wanted to buy a doll or a cat, I could save money and cut back on my food money for the next few days, and then hang the birthday present on your doorknob the next day, telling you that the ancient Greek god in charge of birthdays heard your wish and made it come true."

"But a meteor shower was a bit out of reach for me, who had just become a first-level beastmaster at that time."

"But now it's different."

"After all, in this world... every star in the astral world represents a so-called god who has ascended to the long steps of godhood."

"And the birth of each meteor represents the fall of a god."

Char gently touched the soft long hair of the blonde girl in front of him.

The next moment, a vague connection came from the star realm.

In Xia's eyes.

A tiny rune slowly began to spin.

It was an alchemical rune of the technique called "Illusion Collapse" controlled by Char.

At this moment, with Yui's auxiliary computing power as artificial intelligence, the alchemical rune was activated silently.

Across the vast distance of several dimensions, the art of "Fantasy Collapse" began to be refined on the other side of the distant star realm.

"So, Xiao Ai."
