Beyond the Two Realms, I am the God of the Otherworld

The Land of Gray Mist.

This is the most secluded area in the Western Continent, and is also known as a forbidden place.

The withered trees were charred as if struck by lightning, and on the outskirts of this forbidden land there were countless strange man-eating plants and a large number of strange creatures beyond the blind spot of human knowledge. ⑵

And in the deepest part of the gray fog, there is a palace standing quietly.

A woman in a black dress was leaning against the throne. A gentle evening breeze blew slowly, blowing up the woman's silver hair and her gorgeous and noble skirt.

Pandora swung her tender white feet under her skirt as if nothing had happened, and her enchanting red eyes seemed to nonchalantly look at the many strange creatures kneeling in the hall.

"Does the Clock Tower seem to be quite busy recently?"

Then, a slightly lazy voice came lightly in the hall.

"It's the annual special enrollment ceremony of the Clock Tower recently. The Camelot Empire is very lively at this time every year."

A strange creature knelt in the center of the hall and answered respectfully.

Unlike ordinary people, this strange creature looks to be nearly three meters tall, and is completely black. It has three eyes on each side of its face, and exudes an extremely terrifying magical power.

"However, it is still hard to say whether this assessment can proceed smoothly to the end." There was a hint of profoundness in the words of the strange creature.

Pandora glanced at the strange creatures in the audience and said calmly, "Did you send someone to the clock tower?"

The strange creature's eyes changed slightly, and he hurriedly explained: "You said not to act rashly before the curse is lifted, so I didn't send anyone to leave the Gray Mist Land."

"Those believers from the outside world want to take advantage of this special enrollment at the Clock Tower to prepare for your resurrection ceremony!"

In the eyes of the cultists in the outside world, the witch of destruction had died in the curse cast by the goddess of fate, so they had been secretly planning Pandora's resurrection ceremony over the years.

However, these cultists obviously did not expect that the witch who once almost destroyed the world was not dead.

On the contrary, the curse on Pandora has almost been completely suppressed.

Seeing that the supreme witch had withdrawn her gaze, the strange creature secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked tentatively:

"Do we need to stop the actions of those believers?"

"It's a rare opportunity to see a good show, why should we ask them to stop the operation?"

Pandora sneered and said calmly: "Since my believers want to make some noise, let them do as much as they want."

"Maybe... I can help them and give them a small gift."

At the end, Pandora slowly spread out her palms.

An alchemical matrix emitting a mysterious gray mist appeared in the woman's palm.

She gently threw the alchemical matrix out, and a very strange eyeball appeared at each of the four corners of the alchemical matrix.

Then, the alchemical matrix disappeared silently in the hall...

……

Clock Tower Square.

Xizel stood in the crowd with some anticipation in his heart.

In his opinion, even if he didn't get the chance to draw the three princesses to lead the team, with the power of destruction that awakened yesterday and the power of destiny, it shouldn't be difficult to pass the second round of assessment.

Of course, having said that, if possible, it would be best for the Third Princess to be in charge of this side.

As long as it's not the eldest sister... Seeing Vanestida on the podium walking towards the direction of the lottery, Xizel couldn't help but pray in his heart.

It's not that Xizel hates this elder sister, but he has a deep fear of this elder sister even before he awakened his memory.

If Vanesta was really the leader of this assessment, Xizel felt that his performance would drop by 20 to 30 percent.

Even if the elder sister said nothing, César would still feel some kind of pressure invisibly. ⑵

As I was thinking about this, Vanesta on the platform had already taken out a piece of paper from the black box.

And what is displayed above is the number '6'.

Almost at the moment when the number on the note appeared, a faint light appeared under the feet of the eighty people present.

When the light ended, a number '6' appeared under their feet.

Xizel looked down at his feet, and after confirming that there was no reaction, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. ⑤

He did not notice that when he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Vanesta on the platform was looking at him silently, then she curled her lips slightly and turned away.

At the same time, Xizel also sighed secretly.

Although he had not received a response from the goddess of fate when he prayed to her before, it seemed that the goddess of fate was still very kind to him...

Of course, if I were a little more kind to myself, I could actually let that princess pick me...

Xizel thought secretly in his heart, and soon he found that the second assessment team leader had already walked towards the drawing direction.

She was wearing a college uniform skirt, and her slender legs were wrapped in white silk, revealing a hint of fair skin.

This outfit, which is more like that of a literary girl, also makes the girl look more pitiful and fragile.

The sixth princess, Suni Rota.

Xizel showed a subtle expression. Although he didn't want to draw Vanesta, the Sixth Princess... was also excluded.

As long as she is not picked, any of the remaining assessment team leaders can be accepted, and it does not necessarily have to be the third princess.

After all, with a one in twelve chance, it was impossible for him, who was favored by the goddess of fate, to be this unlucky.

Thinking of this, Xizel looked up and watched Suni display the numbers drawn from the black box in front of everyone.

Number: 3.

At the same time, the examinees in the audience began to emit soft glow one after another, and everyone's eyes were on each other, as if they were curious about who would become the members of the Six Princesses' team.

Césaire's eyes were also on the road. He was looking at the people around him.

Seeing the number '3' appear under the feet of the th person not far away, Xizel finally let go of his worries and a faint smile appeared on his face.

He was not chosen by the Sixth Princess.

It seems that the goddess of fate is really blessing me today.

Maybe I can really be selected by Yulina?

Thinking of this, Xizel couldn't help but look up at the platform. When he noticed Yulina looking straight at him, he couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile.

He just nodded in a friendly manner, but at this moment, he suddenly found that Yulina's eyes staring at him seemed full of strangeness and worry.

At the same time, many people present were looking at César with subtle eyes, and Craig, who was not far away, had a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Following everyone's gaze, Xizel subconsciously looked down at his feet.

A big number '3' appeared in the field of vision.

"..."

Aren’t there already eighty people?

Why was I chosen...?

Shady?

At this moment, numerous question marks popped up in Xizel's mind. He subconsciously looked up in the direction of the professors and asked, "Professors, what's going on...?"

On the podium, a professor coughed lightly and said, "The number of teams led by the assessment captains may occasionally deviate by one or two, which is within the scope of technical adjustment."

Technical adjustment, so the 81st person in Suni’s team happens to be me... ?

Isn't this really a prank by the goddess of fate?

At this moment, Xizel couldn't hold back the smile on his face, but he still tried his best to maintain his calmness and said, "I see... Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Professor."

At this time, Su Ni had already walked down the platform step by step and came to the front of the boy.

She raised her head, and a charming smile bloomed on her delicate, slightly frail face: "Next, I will take you to the trial site for the second round of assessment, but I still need your cooperation."

"Junior~"

……

Is this goddess of fate deliberately playing tricks on me?

After the captains of each assessment team organized their teams, Xizel stood in the crowd and looked at the sickly girl in front of the team, feeling somewhat puzzled.

In the past two years, Cesare has translated many diaries about the goddess of fate through the forbidden books sent by Her Majesty the Queen and other guests.

These diaries contain content that, once exposed, would be enough to destroy the image of the goddess of fate.

Of course, if the diary were to be exposed, more people would probably just think that César was insulting their goddess, and might even attack him in groups.

But that’s not the point right now.

The point is... could it be possible that the goddess of fate is still alive? !

Otherwise, this draw is just too much of a coincidence, right? !

Fortunately, everyone present knew that the relationship between the Sixth Princess and him was not harmonious, and this time in front of so many people, Suni should be more restrained... This was one of the few comforts in Xizel's heart.

"Now let me explain the rules of the second round of assessment."

At this moment, Su Ni's soft and cold voice suddenly came from the front.

She raised her hand, and the magic power gathered under her feet.

Soon, a translucent card appeared in everyone's hands.

"This card has 10 points at the beginning. During the period when the assessment begins, you need to ensure that you do not lose this card. And at the end of the assessment, the points on your card must exceed 100 points to pass the assessment."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a slight commotion among the crowd.

"If I'm not mistaken, this card should be the score card for the Clock Tower, right?"

"I seem to remember that everything in the Clock Tower can be purchased with points, including potion materials, various runes, ancient books, etc. ... Your level in the academy is also determined by the points on this card."

"So, if I can get more points in this round of assessment, wouldn't I have a considerable amount of points right from the start when I enter school in the future..."

When they thought of this, everyone in the team felt excited.

And Xizel frowned inadvertently and fell into a brief contemplation.

No wonder it was said before that the second round of assessment would screen nearly two-thirds of the people... So this second round of assessment would be in a place similar to a colosseum?

For someone like him who has just awakened his extraordinary powers, this assessment is obviously extremely unfavorable...

"Next, I will use the alchemy matrix to let you enter the trial site. The place where you land is random, but please remember," Su Ni emphasized again, "once the card is lost, or the card score does not exceed 100 points after the three-day assessment, it will be considered a failure."

"Now walk into the alchemical matrix in order."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and injected magic power into the alchemical matrix beside her.

When Xizel stepped onto the alchemical matrix, Su Ni just looked at the boy meaningfully.

Along with the infusion of magic power, a white light suddenly flashed before Xizel's eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, what appeared in his field of vision was no longer the square, but a dense forest.

It is surrounded by mountains and dense forests that almost completely cover the entire surface.

"Is this a primeval forest...? Where on earth did the Alchemy Matrix teleport me to...?"

Xizel looked around at the trees that seemed to be towering into the sky, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

According to his impression, there was obviously no such forest near the royal city of Camelot.

I didn't expect the Alchemy Matrix's teleportation ability to be this high...

As I was thinking this, I suddenly saw flashes of light around me.

In the light, figures gradually appeared beside him.

"I have to leave here quickly..."

Xizel's eyes moved slightly, and he made a judgment immediately.

Next, this trial ground will become a place where examinees fight against each other.

In a place like this, you never know when you will be knocked out by a sudden blow.

Cesare resolutely walked along the path into the depths of the forest.

The captain in charge of this assessment can only let the assessees land on the outskirts of this primeval forest.

Therefore, there should be no one in the deep forest right now.
