Chapter 256: The Devil Who Defeated Ragnarok

The night was dark.

The street lights on both sides of the road lit up, casting a dim light, illuminating the sparsely populated road.

Leticia held Akhtar's hand and walked towards the lakeside mansion. Her light steps showed her mood at the moment.

However, just as she was immersed in the happiness of the moment, a strange figure came into their sight. It was a man with long white hair and wearing a robe, who was communicating with an invisible existence.

It is very similar to Leticia’s current state.

But if we have to say there is a difference, it is that the communication between Letitia and Akhtar does not give people a abrupt feeling. Onlookers will have the feeling that Letitia is talking to someone, but it is not clear what the person talking to looks like.

This is the result of Akhtar deepening his presence.

Something was…off.

Leticia subconsciously placed her hand on the Sword of Light. She felt that the man who was talking to the air was very dangerous. Although the man with long white hair had a very gentle and sacred temperament, giving people a feeling of compassion, the way he communicated with the air with a smile on his face gave people a weird feeling.

"Please don't worry." The white-haired man stopped talking to the air, turned around and smiled gently at Leticia, "I'm just communicating with my lover, but you can't see her."

Leticia: "..."

Why did she feel like she was being mocked? To outsiders, it did seem like she was communicating with the air, but Akhtar had magnified her presence so that it didn't feel abrupt. It was just that people couldn't remember Akhtar's existence afterwards.

“Yale… No, call me the Devil of Delusion.” The Devil of Delusion shook his head slightly and smiled at Leticia. “Just like people would directly call Akhtar the Lord of Ashes, my real name doesn’t have much meaning anymore.”

Every witch and demon in this world has a corresponding name, but as time goes by, people will call them by their corresponding "powers". As for the original names, most people will not deliberately write them down except for a small number of people who study history.

"Why would someone like you appear here?" Leticia asked while giving Akhtar a questioning look. After receiving an affirmative answer, she showed a cautious look.

But she didn't have too many worries in her heart. With Akhtar by her side, she believed that she would not be in danger.

"To find a way to defeat the Lord of Ashes." The Delusion Demon spoke his mind, his eyes falling on the Sword of Light at Leticia's waist. "We need to understand the power of the Lord of Ashes."

Leticia slightly exerted force on the Sword of Light.

The Devil of Delusion shook his head and smiled gently, "I am not qualified to hold the Sword of Light, and the Lord of Ashes at the end of time will not let anyone else hold the Sword of Light."

He said so.

"Whether you choose to help us study the power of the Lord of Ashes is entirely up to you."

Leticia thought for a moment and said, "You mentioned 'we', right?"

"Yes." The Delusion Demon replied, "To be more precise, the Alchemist Witch wanted to study the Sword of Light. She seemed to have found a way to transcend Ragnarok by studying the Sword of Light."

"The Sword of Light only contains part of the Lord of Ashes' power," Leticia said bluntly, "If you want to defeat the Lord of Ashes by studying the Sword of Light..."

Before he could finish his words, the Delusion Demon shook his head. He raised his finger and pointed at the Sword of Light, and explained very seriously:
"It's not about defeating the Lord of Ashes, but about finding a way to transcend Ragnarok. The Alchemist Witch believes that the Lord of Ashes is the creator of the new world, so his power must have a creative component. As long as we can find this creative power, we can use it to sneak into the world created by the Lord of Ashes."

Leticia gently rubbed the hilt of the sword with her slender fingers. She roughly understood what the delusional demon said.

But is this really feasible?

"If the Alchemist's idea is correct," the Delusion Demon explained, "then everyone can sneak into the new world, and we don't have to be enemies with the Lord of Ashes. You can also be with the Lord of Ashes in the new world."

He turned and walked away in the opposite direction.

"If you are interested, go back to the Iris Kingdom. The Alchemy Witch will wait for you there for three days." After saying this, she disappeared in the dim light.

There are many brilliant witches and demons in this world who are trying to find a way to transcend Ragnarok, and the theory proposed by the Alchemist Witch is currently the most feasible plan, and is more likely than directly killing the Lord of Ashes.

Leticia was silent for a moment, then smiled at Akhtar beside her and asked, "That man said..."

"It is a little possible." Ximu smiled, "and the Alchemy Witch can really help you gain strength."

The Alchemist's plan was very simple. That was to find out the creation part of the Lord of Ashes, and then use this creation part to resist the flames of ash and create an ark to sneak into a new world.

The essence of this plan is to use the power of the Lord of Ashes to sneak into the world created by the Lord of Ashes. To do this, the Alchemist Witch needs to understand the power of the Lord of Ashes, and the Sword of Light is the best object of research.

Of course, if there is a being who can master the Ash Flame and reach the demon level, that would be better research material.

"Is it just a possibility?" Leticia was a little disappointed, but she didn't dwell on it too much. Although the Alchemy Witch Plan was very tempting to her, if she could keep everyone alive without having to become an enemy of Akhtar, it would be the best of both worlds.

Ximu thought for a moment and consoled him, "In this world, the Alchemy Witch is not the only one who is thinking about transcending Ragnarok. There are many other people who have corresponding plans."

He looked in the direction where the delusional demon had left.

"That guy is a man who can defeat Ragnarok in a sense, although his methods are a bit extreme."

Leticia showed a surprised expression: "Does he have the power to threaten you?"

"The Devil of Delusion only possesses power close to omnipotence. He cannot threaten my power." Ximu shook his head slightly, "But the way to defeat Ragnarok does not necessarily require the power to defeat Ragnarok."

He said it as if joking.

"As long as we kill everyone before Ragnarok arrives, the world burned by Ragnarok will be nothing but an empty shell, and that can be considered a victory over Ragnarok."

Leticia rolled her eyes slightly: "Who would agree to such a plan?"

"Maybe a lot of people will agree." Ximu chuckled. He was not joking. The delusional demon did have the power to defeat Ragnarok in a certain sense, and his execution plan was accepted by most people.

According to the development direction of the DLC plot, if the player approves the plan of the delusional demon, he will embark on a path of premature destruction.

"Does it really make sense to defeat Ragnarok in this way?" Leticia whispered. Ximu did not refute her when he heard it, but took Leticia's hand and returned to the lakeside mansion.

Even if he really explained the delusional demon's plan to Leticia in detail, there was no way he would get her approval.

So there was no need to explain to Leticia.

……

...

The next day.

in the afternoon.

Lakeside residence.

In the living room.

"Is the Alchemist Witch trustworthy?" Aslaqi frowned and asked Leticia, "She has no obligation to ensure your safety in the experiment." Leticia raised her hand to gently gather her hair and explained to Aslaqi, "Currently, I am the only one who can use the Sword of Light, so the Alchemist Witch will not conduct excessive experiments on me."

"And she won't irritate Akhtar, right?" Yasraqi looked around the living room, then covered the lower half of her face with a folding fan and suddenly changed the subject:
"I didn't expect you to find such a suitable place to live. Do you have any friends in Lionheart City?"

Owning a house in a big city like Lionheart City, especially in the city center, is obviously not something that ordinary people can do.

Not to mention that Leticia is not the only one living in the room, but also the Plague Goddess and the Witch of Death live in this mansion.

This is clearly not normal.

"It's the Sword of Light." Leticia explained seriously, "I can convey Akhtar's will through the Sword of Light, just like he is by my side."

"Feel Akhtar's will through the Sword of Light?" Yasraqi showed a surprised expression, her eyes fell on the Sword of Light next to the sofa.

She knew that the Sword of Light contained Akhtar's power, so it was possible to use the Sword of Light to communicate with Akhtar. This could also explain Leticia's behavior and abnormal condition yesterday.

But that doesn't explain why the Plague Goddess is here.

"Akhtar's will led me here," Leticia explained softly, "He wanted the Plague Goddess to change the fate of death."

Yaslaqi sighed softly, then smiled brightly: "It's really enviable. I still want to talk to Akhtar about something."

"You will also be able to feel Akhtar's will sooner or later." Leticia crossed her arms and turned her head slightly.

"But that will take some time."

"Since you said so." Aslaqi smiled sweetly, her eyes fell on Leticia, and then she calmly withdrew her gaze.

"By the way, I brought Zeed to the Sky City. If you have time, you can go to the Sky City to meet Zeed."

Leticia showed a curious expression: "Does Zeed still have his memory?"

In this world, except for a small number of people who can retain memories of the future by virtue of their own powerful strength, only those who are considered by the Witch of Time to have a close relationship with Akhtar can retain memories of the future.

And Jed is very close to Akhtar in a sense.

Since Asraqi can retain her memories, then Geed should also be able to retain her future memories.

"Of course I remember." Aslaqi nodded with a smile on her face. "When I found Zeed, she was still fighting against the Titans with the mercenary group."

She chuckled.

"I gave the mercenaries some money, and they were so scared that they thought I was interested in Zedd and refused to accept my money no matter what."

Leticia asked: "Then how did you take Zeed away?"

"Add more money." Aslaqi pursed her lips and smiled. "I raised the money so much that they had no way to refuse. In the end, they still wanted to become my subordinates."

"That's really your style." Leticia exclaimed with a smile, and then chatted with Yaslaqi about other things, deliberately avoiding talking about Akhtar in the process until it was getting dark.

Aslaqi chose to leave the lakeside villa and walked alone on the road at night, the evening breeze blowing through her red hair.

She felt someone standing beside her, accompanying her all the way until a carriage came to pick her up in the distance.

The feeling of having someone by your side disappears.

……

...

The three-day deadline has arrived.

The Kingdom of Iris.

"My daughter, you seem to be in a much better mood." The gray-haired king smiled kindly and said to Leticia across the table:
"Did anything go well for you?"

"Yeah." Leticia nodded slightly, and then changed the subject before her father asked, "Father, is there a witch looking for me?"

King Iris was stunned for a moment, then replied, "There is a witch who built an alchemy workshop near the volcano, and she has been waiting for you to come over."

"She is the Alchemy Witch, and she wants to use me to study the power of the Sword of Light." Leticia explained the reason and selectively recounted what happened in Lionheart City.

King Iris did not delve into the matter further. After he realized that his daughter retained memories of the future, he knew that his daughter had been exposed to a world that was inconvenient for ordinary people to access, and there was no benefit in asking too many questions.

So he just had to listen.

……

...

after a while.

Volcano Workshop.

The building rose from the ground like a miracle. Its styling resembled a pyramid inserted upside down in a volcano, directly blocking the crater. Blue lines covered the surface of the pyramid, indicating the energy flowing in the alchemy workshop.

And at this moment inside the alchemy workshop.

"If you don't come yet." The Alchemy Witch turned around, her long white hair swaying gently. She put her hands on her waist and smiled lively at Leticia:

"Then I'm going to beg you to come."

Leticia showed a surprised expression. She didn't expect the legendary alchemy witch to be so lively. No... maybe the expressionless girl next to her is the alchemy witch.

At this moment, there were two girls standing in front of her who looked exactly the same, but their temperaments were completely different. The white-haired girl who greeted her first had an extremely lively smile, while the other one had a blank expression on her face and seemed extremely cold.

No matter how you look at it, the expressionless white-haired girl is more in line with people's perception of the alchemy witch.

"She is my daughter." The Alchemy Witch seemed to have sensed Leticia's thoughts. She pulled the white-haired girl next to her to her side, rubbed her cheek, and explained very proudly, "She is the one who inherited all my past memories and powers."

"Really?" Leticia smiled politely. She had no way of telling which of the two white-haired girls was stronger, so there was no need to express an opinion for the time being.

However, Ximu, who was standing nearby, knew the truth. He set his sights on the cold and aloof white-haired girl.

This girl who looks even more aloof is a replica of the Alchemist Witch. Except for not having a soul, she has inherited all of the Alchemist Witch's memories and is proof of the continuation of the Alchemist Witch's life.

But her personality is different from the original Alchemy Witch.
