After get off work, start speeding through another world

Chapter 216 Hall of Heroes
The big library was eerily quiet.

Ximu leaned back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in silence for a long time, as if he was reminiscing. After a moment, he asked:
"You're not trying to say that you and the Witch of Time are collaborators, are you?"

"Does this need to be a surprise?" The demon from outside the realm asked back with a smile, "Otherwise why would I help the Witch of Death? Am I doing this because I'm bored?"

In order to influence the balance of the war, he always intervened in the war at the most critical moment and stabbed the goddess of death and the goddess of life in the back with the most critical blow.

Otherwise, even if the Witch of Death was extremely talented and was hailed as the strongest witch in history, she would not be able to defeat the Goddess of Death and the Goddess of Life so easily.

It is more likely that we will be defeated.

This is not to look down on the strength of the Witch of Death, but to state a very objective fact. Both the Goddess of Death and the Goddess of Life have honed their strength to the extreme over a long period of time, which is completely different from the Witch of Death in a short period of time.

"Who knows if you intend to take advantage of the situation?" Ximu said casually, his eyes revealing suspicion.

In response, the demon from outside the realm laughed heartily, "You don't mind that I stabbed the goddess of life in the back, do you?"

He tilted his head back and looked at the ceiling.

"There is nothing I can do about it. In order to give the Witch of Death an advantage, I had to stab her with that knife. Otherwise, the Witch of Death would still be fighting the Goddess of Life."

After reaching the level of omnipotence... no, to be more precise, reaching the level of the Witch of Death, it is no longer easy to determine the outcome of a battle. There are many ways to keep yourself alive, even if all traces are completely wiped out.

Maybe it will be resurrected from an unknown corner.

This is the height that their power has reached. It is like an extremely natural phenomenon. When the weather is cold, frost will fall and they will naturally come back to life.

"..." Ximu took a sip of tea, and seemed to accept the words of the demon from outside the world, and restrained the slight dissatisfaction in his eyes, "The Witch of Death seems to be unaware of your existence?"

"If she knew of my existence," the demon from the outer realm asked Akhtar with a subtle expression, "Do you think she would let me sneak attack the goddess of death and the goddess of life?"

Ximu pretended to think about it, then shook his head.

"Although that woman looks calm, she is actually very arrogant." The demon from the outer world explained, "She will not allow others to interfere in her battle."

Ximu shook his head: "Lady Witch of Death is not so rigid."

"There are also unknown reasons." The demon from outside the realm raised a finger. "An unknown demon is lurking in the dark. No one knows what his plot and ideas are. We must be on guard against him in the battle with the Witch of Death."

He crossed his legs.

"Such uncertainty can also make the gods more cautious."

"You're not being honest." Ximu said briefly and to the point, and the demon from outside the world laughed when he heard it, then raised his second finger.

"The last explanation is that I have more important things to deal with, and it is very inconvenient for me to take action in order to prevent disturbances to this world."

Ximu's expression became serious.

"Remember the Hall of Valor I mentioned?" the demon from outside the world continued to ask. After seeing Akhtar nod, he took out a cigarette out of thin air, gently touched his thumb and index finger against each other, and a flame was ignited on his fingers out of thin air.

He lit the cigarette with the flame on his fingertips, and the misty smoke covered his cheeks, concealing the expression on his face.

"That woman... oh, the Witch of Time suddenly found me and invited me to build the Hall of Heroes. She asked me to collect valuable souls and store them in a hall outside the world, above time, to prepare for the Ragnarok that will surely come one day."

At this point, he puffed out white smoke.

"The Bewitching Witch power used by the woman you were chatting with before was written by the Bewitching Witch of Valhalla herself, and then handed over by the Witch of Time to people with potential, trying to make them the carriers of resurrecting witches and demons from the past."

"..." Ximu frowned slightly and explained to the demon from outside the realm: "Michael is a man, not a woman."

"As long as it looks like a woman, it's no different from a woman." The demon from the outer world said indifferently, "It's just that the body structure is a little different, but it can still be used and can still make people addicted."

Ximu: "..."

This guy is a guy who... doesn't care about gender, he just goes by feeling. It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, and he doesn't even care about the species. He can accept orcs, fairies, and elves.

According to the official explanation of the game, they have basically attacked all known species in this world, so they are extremely experienced.

Enough to write a guide to the customs of another world.

"It has come to this point for us." The demon from the outside world seemed to sense the silence in Akhtar's eyes, and spread his thoughts with a smile, "Of course, it is more important to like it or not. There is no need to stick to traditional and conservative ideas."

He leisurely exhaled a puff of white smoke.

"You have the patience to talk to Michael..."

"I don't have the same strange sexual fetish as you." Ximu waved his hand. He guessed what the demon from outside the world would say next.

"When you live longer, you will slowly change your mind." The devil from outside the world smiled calmly, feeling helpless that Akhtar still held on to traditional ideas.

In response, Ximu glanced at him:
"Many gods in the heavens are still... virgin gods and virgin goddesses. Don't they also live for a long time?"

"This involves the impulse of power." The demon from outside the realm touched his chin. "It's a bit troublesome to explain in detail. Anyway, you just need to know that for some gods, physical communication is based on soul communication. You must first catch up with them, reach the level of a partner, and then develop feelings of love before you can go further."

"Let's talk about something serious." Ximu changed the subject nonchalantly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

The demon from outside the world took a deep breath of smoke, exhaled the smoke and said:
"I ask you if you want to sign a contract. If you are willing to sign the contract, I will take your soul after you die and place it in the Hall of Heroes outside this world."

"Do you think I will die?" Ximu's voice was too calm, staring at the face of the demon from outside the world, "There are not many people in this world who can... kill me."

“Yes, yes, you are very powerful.” The demon from outside the world said nonchalantly, “You have the Witch of Death, the Witch of Fate, and the Witch of Creation behind you. Even the gods have the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Lies…”

His voice gradually became quieter, and he suddenly looked at Akhtar with a subtle expression and pulled the corners of his mouth.

"I don't know why I suddenly feel so jealous of you. I have the urge to beat you up."

Originally, he had no feeling if he hadn't thought about it carefully, but when he thought about it carefully, he had a completely different feeling. This guy... is loved by many incredible women.

No matter which one it is, it is very enviable.

"So I have no reason to die." Ximu said calmly, "and there are not many people in this world who can kill me head-on." If it were according to the normal process, he shouldn't be so ridiculously powerful now, but the player power he possessed this time was indeed too strong.

As a result, he now has the illusion that he is a mechanical monster.

"Normally, no one should be able to kill you." The demon from the outside world admitted frankly, "But you have already planned to challenge the fire giant Surtur, right?"

Ximu didn't answer.

"...At the moment of Ragnarok, the power of the Fire Giant Surtur has expanded to an unimaginable degree. Perhaps it has even reached the same level as the Omniscient God." The Outsider Demon stared at the cigarette that was burning to the end between his fingers. "You challenge the Fire Giant Surtur. Except for... suicide, you have no chance of winning."

"Then it has nothing to do with me." Ximu replied, "I tried my best, but he still died. There is nothing I can do."

The demon from outside the realm was silent for a moment, "Akhtar, do you want to die?"

"I'm just trying to do what I can." Ximu responded calmly, "But if there's no way to change the outcome, then I have no other options."

"Just kidding, you are the only man in the world who has a chance to kill the fire giant Surtur." The demon from outside the world suddenly laughed heartily, "Except for the omniscient god, you are the only one who is qualified."

He met Akhtar’s puzzled gaze.

"Go find your nun. She can help you get a chance to defeat the fire giant Surtur."

"..."

Ximu nodded slightly and did not ask who his nun was. It was too easy to guess that she was the only nun in the world who had faith in him.

There is only a blindfolded nun.

"Then let me ask again." The demon from the outer realm asked, "Akhtar, do you want to join the Hall of Valor after you die?"

"Reject." Ximu didn't even think about it. He had no interest in Valhalla. He already knew everything about Valhalla. He also knew that the demons from outside the world had not revealed all the information about Valhalla. However, he no longer cared about these irrelevant news.

To reach the route to the Lord of Ashes, you don't have to clear all the maps. It is enough as long as you can burn this world successfully.

“That’s a pity.” The demon from outside the realm sighed, “Geniuses like you are extremely rare in Valhalla.”

"Anyway, this world is about to be burned to ashes." Ximu glanced at the burning cigarette between the fingers of the demon from outside the world, "Since there is no future, it doesn't matter whether I go to Valhalla or not, and I have no reason to trust you."

"Yes, the invitation was too hasty." The demon nodded, then his body became weak and he said to Akhtar, "I hope you can trust me a little more next time, although you may be dead by then."

Ximu shook his head, stood up and left the library.

And not long after he left.

The figure of the devil from outside the world emerged. He still sat on the chair and relit a cigarette. It was the first time that he understood the concept of fate so clearly. No matter what choice he made, he would end up in a bad ending.

But he had no choice. The sealed fire giant Surtur was about to break free from the seal. If Akhtar was not pushed to defeat the fire giant Surtur, the world would surely be burned to ashes.

So he could only choose Akhtar, who looked the most harmless, to kill the fire giant Surtur.

Then hope that Akhtar can suppress the power of the Lord of Ashes.

This time he took the initiative to come and talk with Akhtar. His real intention was never to invite Akhtar to join Valhalla, although it was naturally a good thing that Akhtar was willing to join, but in fact it was to indirectly tell Akhtar the information.

"Am I now considered a force driving destiny?" The demon from outside the world fell into self-doubt, because he discovered that the fire giant Surtur was about to break free from the seal, and that the fire giant Surtur's power had expanded to a level that was difficult to deal with. So in order to avoid the worst outcome, he pushed Akhtar to fight the fire giant Surtur.

However, when I think about it carefully, it feels wrong, because no matter what choice I make, it seems to be the worst choice.

But even though I know it's bad, I have no choice.

"That's right, you made a very stupid choice." A cold female voice came, and the demon from outside the world looked in the direction of the voice, only to see the Witch of Fate standing not far away, her cold eyes revealing murderous intent.

She said in a cold voice:

"You shouldn't have told me that my apprentice had a way to defeat the fire giant Surtur."

"Even if he doesn't tell the secret, won't he go?" The demon from outside the world asked, looking at the silent expression of the Witch of Fate, and then turned into a shadow and disappeared on the spot.

With the power of the outside world, there is no obstacle for him in this world, even the place where the fire giant Surtur is sealed.

So he is the only demon who can go to see the fire giant Surtur at will.

……

...

In a villa.

Ximu pushed the door open and walked in, then walked skillfully to the living room and looked at the blindfolded nun sitting on the sofa. She was sitting elegantly, and the sunlight from the window shone on her delicate body, giving people a sacred and lonely feeling.

"Lord Akhtar, you are here!" The blindfolded nun tilted her head and her voice suddenly became lively, and the feeling of loneliness that lingered around her disappeared.

She quickly got up to receive Akhtar.

"I want to ask you something." Ximu grabbed the blindfolded nun's wrist and sat down on the sofa. "I heard that you have a way to help me defeat the fire giant Surtur?"

The blindfolded nun fell silent.

The eyes hidden behind the silk ribbon stared deeply at Akhtar. This information should be kept secret. No...it shouldn't be told to Lord Akhtar so early.

Now the Witch of Fate is trying her best to find a third possibility, and she shouldn't tell Lord Akhtar about this worst option now.

"So is there or not?" Ximu's voice left no doubt.

"Yes." The blindfolded nun lowered her head and gave an obedient answer. She was Akhtar's nun and could not deceive Akhtar in any way.

"Then help me." Ximu stared at the blindfolded nun beside him, who lowered her head gently, and said in an extremely gentle voice, "Accompany me to kill the fire giant Surtur, okay?"
