After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 354: This is the most perfect "performance", isn't it? (Finale)

"Have you ever thought about the origin and end of the world?"

A gentle voice sounded beside her ear, causing the girl, who was immersed in the gentle waves, to slowly open her eyes.

Frannie's eyes were a little confused, but soon they regained clarity.

The hazy thoughts are like floating catkins, condensing on the sea surface.

"Where am I?"

As soon as this question came to her mind, distant memories quickly surfaced, making her eyes show a look of realization.

During this time, she and Cecilia worked day and night to conquer the remaining sites of the Great Witch's legacy.

Soon, she successfully passed the inheritance tests in the five heritage sites.

And when she passed the last test of the Great Witch's Legacy Land, she was teleported here without waiting for her to react - according to the legend, the "legacy land" of the Witch King.

This place does not belong to the present world, nor does it belong to the outside world, but is between the world and the world.

To call it a heritage site is not quite accurate.

There has never been any historical record of the fall of the Witch King, but He disappeared for so long that everyone in the world assumed that He had fallen.

"Have you ever thought about the origin and end of the world?"

The gentle voice sounded again. Franny raised her head, and the fluffy witch hat on her head swayed as she looked in the direction where the voice came from.

It was a female figure floating in mid-air, emitting a soft halo. Her face could not be seen clearly, but when she looked directly at her, an inexplicable sense of familiarity and sadness surged in Freni's heart.

She stood up.

Under her feet was a lake as calm as ice. As she stood up, circles of ripples continued to expand outward, and in an instant, they swept across the entire lake.

Frannie raised her head and stared at the soft-light female figure in the air, and the other person was also staring at her. Although she couldn't see the other person's face clearly, Frannie could feel the faint smile on the other person's face.

"Witch King...are you still alive?"

"The world is suffering from an unprecedented catastrophe. Everyone, we need your help."

The girl's clear voice echoed across the lake, and in response, a soft sigh came from a female figure:
"Thousands of years ago, I 'saw' this catastrophe..."

“The spirit and the abyss are like the ebb and flow of the sea water. When one recedes, the other takes the stage.”

"Not only our world, but billions of worlds in the spiritual world cannot escape this disaster."

"I once stood at the end of the ninth level, ranked as a spiritual master, but even so, in the future I see, spiritual masters are nothing more than slightly larger ants."

Spiritual Envoy... The Long River of Spirituality... Billions of Worlds...

Freni stared at the Witch King blankly. Although she didn't understand what he said, she still knew it was heavy.

“What will happen if we allow the abyss to invade the spiritual world?” the girl asked subconsciously.

The Witch Queen smiled and said, "For extraordinary people like me, it is equivalent to being infected with a deadly plague. For ordinary people who grew up in a spiritual environment, it is like an animal accustomed to normal temperature. If they are directly placed in absolute zero, the probability of survival is almost zero."

"But after the old creatures die, new life will eventually be born in billions of worlds. They are born based on the abyss environment and can survive in the abyss environment. But to us, these people are already another species."

"No, there is no way to save it?" Freni whispered.

The abyss that swept across billions of worlds... Such a catastrophe was beyond her imagination.

Compared to it, even the golden tree is not worth mentioning.

"Yes~"

Franny suddenly raised her head and looked at the Witch King in mid-air.

"Among the countless branches of the future, I see that only possibility."

"In the spiritual world, only if another 'Spirit God' is born and defeats the 'Lord of the Abyss' who rises from the bottom of the abyss, can the spiritual worlds continue."

"Spirit God?" Freni stared at the Witch King blankly.

To her, the concept of spiritual gods was too vague.

She even knew what a spirit messenger was.

Understanding her confusion, the Witch Queen gently explained, "From level one to level nine, it is a process of transformation of living beings step by step."

"What people call 'gods' are not real gods at all. They are just ordinary beings that possess great power."

"Only the omniscient and omnipotent spirit God is the only God."

"And above the ninth level, those who are recognized by the Spirit God are called 'Spirit Envoys'."

"The Spirit Envoy has the power to surpass and crush the ninth level limit. He is the strongest person under the Spirit God in this world of billions of spiritual beings."

"At the beginning of this era, after the death of the last Spirit God, no more Spirit Gods were born in the billions of spiritual worlds. The less Spirit Gods were born, the more unbalanced the spiritual world and the abyss became."

"And the lower the spirituality, the lower the probability of giving birth to a spiritual god, forming a vicious cycle."

"Only by giving birth to a spirit god can there be a glimmer of hope."

Furenee listened to this blankly: "So, you left to find a way to become a spiritual god?"

"Yes, and no." The Witch King looked at Furenee with a smile:
"In my time, the stock of spiritual energy is no longer sufficient to support the birth of a spiritual god."

"I heard a saying from a guy who came from the Eastern World and called himself a 'monk' - there are fifty great ways and forty-nine heavenly evolutions."

"I agree with that."

"Only extreme destruction can give birth to new life."

"When the abyss completely invades the billions of spiritual worlds, the spiritual instinct will counterattack and all the spiritual energy accumulated since this era will burst out. At that time, it will be possible to achieve spiritual godhood."

"So are you...ready to come back?" Franny said expectantly.

"You are wrong, Freni." The Witch King's body slowly fell down, and she looked at Freni parallel to her. She raised her hand and pointed her finger at the girl's heart: "It is not me who became a spiritual god, but..."

“——You.”

"My, reincarnation."

……

"Crack!"

The world wailed and shattered, and a pitch-black crack that split the sky and the earth formed at the place where the Blood Lord fell.

Blood-red and indifferent pupils appeared behind the crack, and a ferocious and majestic presence was about to descend.

Above the sky, thunder and lightning surged, and around the cracks, golden arcs kept jumping. It was the world's instinctive resistance, but it could not stop the cracks from expanding.

A drop of dark red blood fell from the crack and then fell to the ground.

"Tick-"

It was clearly a collision with solid ground, but there was a sound like water exploding.

In an instant, everything Ryan saw was dyed dark red.

The sky, the earth, the rocks, the plants... everything is like this.

And at this moment, that ferocious and tall figure stepped out of the crack and completely descended into the spiritual world from the bottom of the abyss.

"Boom——"

In the sky, a bloody wailing thunder exploded. This thunder could be heard clearly not only in the golden world, but also in billions of spiritual worlds, where all living beings could hear it.

That was the last cry of the spiritual mother river.

Indescribable pressure, like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, suddenly fell on Ryan, pressing him directly to the ground from mid-air.

"The Abyss... The Lord..."

He gritted his teeth and tried to break free, but...

But it didn't work at all.

His current strength is far above the ninth level limit, comparable to a spiritual user, however, there is still a huge gap between him and the Lord of the Abyss.

That is the unbridgeable gap between humans and the true God.

"boom!"

Pale blue flames ignited from Ryan's body, and peerless sword energy formed a giant sword on his body.

His cheeks and arms began to cling to dragon scales.

All means were used without any reservation.

"Kakaka..."

With Ryan's body as the center, cracks spread out like broken glass.

The Lord of the Abyss lowered his head and looked at the young man who was about to break free from the pressure, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Being able to kill Xue Nie already shows the opponent's strength, but under his pressure, he showed signs of breaking free. The strength of this young man from the spiritual world has already surpassed that of a spiritual envoy. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the strongest spiritual envoy in history.

But...so what?

As the Abyss Lord's gaze fell, the cracks spreading around Ryan's body instantly healed. At the same time, a pressure that was ten times greater than before suddenly fell.

"boom!"

The ground sank and shook, and in an instant, a sinkhole with a radius of more than 100,000 meters was formed.

In the center of the sinkhole, Ryan was half-kneeling on the ground, covered in blood.

He stood with his sword, and straightened his body little by little.

This time, the Lord of the Abyss was really surprised.

Then, He shook His head and spoke for the first time since His advent: "You are qualified to take my punch."

He took a step forward and came in front of Ryan, swinging his fist slowly but actually fast.

The dark red fist continued to grow larger in front of Ryan's eyes.

In his eyes, it was not a fist, but the word "death" that was constantly getting bigger and bigger.

"The gap is too big..."

Ryan sighed inwardly.

Even though he was well prepared, when he really faced the Lord of the Abyss, he was still no match for him.

The Spirit God and those below the Spirit God are existences of different dimensions. Even though his strength has far surpassed that of a Spirit Envoy, he is still as weak as an ant in front of the Lord of the Abyss who is comparable to the Spirit God.

"Is it possible to use the 'Absolute Invincible Barrier'?"

This is his only way to resist the attack of the Lord of the Abyss.

However, what happens after the barrier lasts...

Having said that, Ryan has no choice at this moment.

Just as he was about to activate the "Absolute Invincible Barrier", suddenly, a blue-gold light particle appeared between him and the Lord of the Abyss.

The blinding blue-gold light exploded, and the Lord of the Abyss, who was the first to be hit, was caught off guard and was directly knocked away. However, Ryan, who was also close at hand, felt a gentle force surging into his body, healed all his injuries.

Ryan ignored it and just looked forward.

A familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared in front of him.

I say familiar because the two sides have been together almost every day since he came into this world.

And the reason why he was unfamiliar was because the aura of the other person was completely different from the one he was familiar with...

Furenie turned her head and looked at Ryan, who was in shock, and smiled playfully: "Mr. Ryan, are you scared?"

At this moment, the witch lady's long hair turned into a transparent blue-gold color, and the gorgeous particles swirled around her body, making her even look somewhat transparent.

And in the distance behind Freni, the towering golden tree was ablaze with flames. In the flames, its endless vitality turned into strands of blue-gold light and flowed into Freni's body.

The person who suddenly appeared in front of him made Ryan feel extremely confused.

He never thought that his beloved whom he hadn't seen for a long time would appear in front of him in this way.

Freni stretched out her hand, and lightly touched the young man's brow with her transparent fingertips, smiling faintly.

In an instant, a large amount of information flooded into Ryan's mind, letting him know the cause and effect of everything.

The Witch King is indeed dead.

But not completely dead.

Thousands of years ago, as the last spiritual messenger of the world, she saw a future that was doomed to destruction.

She knew that the only way to save billions of worlds was to break through and become a god.

But how easy is that?
So, she transformed her body into a golden tree to guard the last node of the spiritual world. At the same time, she weaved the golden law, starting from the beginning, straightening out the extraordinary path, trying to find a way to break through the spiritual god before the abyss invaded.

From the first level to the ninth level, the method centered on "acting" has been verified through the attempts of countless people.

She succeeded, but also failed.

The success lies in the "acting method" and the ladder to godhood. It is indeed possible for mortals to become spiritual gods.

But her failure lies in the fact that her framework has been set. If she wants to become a spiritual god, she needs to walk the ladder of godhood again - with a mortal body, cross the ocean, arrive in front of the golden tree, use the fire of her own true spirit to ignite the golden tree, burn her old body, and ascend to the throne of godhood in the flames of the new birth and the great destruction invaded by the abyss.

Thus, the only bit of her remaining spirit entered reincarnation.

Since then, the witch clan was born.

Every witch is the seed of the Witch King. As long as one succeeds, she can complete the "God-playing".

But no one could have imagined that the seeds lurking in the abyss would suddenly erupt at this moment.

The golden tree underwent a drastic change and was connected to the abyss. Countless beings from the abyss descended. Although the gods and the golden tree spared no effort to resist, the abyss passage was sealed.

However, after this war, the King of Gods fell, the Kingdom of Gods fell into silence, and the Golden Tree was polluted by the abyss, which led to the ban on the witch clan.

Under the heavy ban, no witch could reach the golden tree, let alone reach the legendary level.

If one cannot achieve a legend, then naturally there will be no spiritual fire, and it will be impossible to ignite the golden tree.

According to the plan of the Abyss, the Witch King would never be able to become a spiritual god no matter what.

But Ryan's existence made him the only outlier.

He sailed with Freni, overcame all obstacles, and finally arrived under the golden tree against all odds.

So, at this destined moment.

In the spiritual world of billions, the only spiritual God was born.

She is the Dark Moon Witch Freni, the captain of the Black Rose, and also the returned Witch King and the only spiritual god in this world.

The information floated in his mind, and Ryan stared blankly at the girl in front of him who was smiling at him.

That familiar look let him know that even if the Witch Queen's memory returned and even if she became a spiritual god, she would still be the captain in his mind.

"Mr. Ryan, I have received a lot of care from you during this voyage."

"This time, let me help you~"

The girl winked at him coquettishly, and gave a gentle push with one hand. In an instant, a blue-gold spherical light curtain appeared on Ryan's body, protecting him inside and carrying him directly into the burning golden tree.

"...In this way, even if I lose, with my golden body as protection, Mr. Ryan, you will definitely be able to hold on until the next spiritual era."

As for now...Freni turned around, the tenderness in her eyes turned into indifference, and she looked at the Lord of the Abyss who was floating in the air.

“I didn’t expect that the dying spiritual mother river could still give birth to the last rays of light.”

"But you, a newly born spirit god...are you sure you are my opponent?"

The Lord of the Abyss grinned, drawing a ferocious arc.

"Just try it and you'll know." The girl looked indifferent.

The next moment, blue gold and dark red tore apart the sky and earth.

They broke through the clouds, penetrated the walls of the world, and entered the void of the world where the spiritual river was.

During this process, blue gold and dark red continued to collide.

Many micro and small worlds were annihilated into the void because they could not withstand the aftermath of the fight between the two.

The Lord of the Abyss and the Spirit God are both gods who truly master the rules. Within the rules, they are omniscient and omnipotent. Even the Unfallen World cannot withstand the aftermath of a fight between the two.

"boom!"

The void exploded and the light flew away.

Freni's figure fell onto the world barrier of a large world, smashing it into a huge inward-concave hole. The densely packed cracks on the space barrier made people feel creepy.

In fact, if Freni had not intentionally eased the impact, the world barrier of this large world would have been shattered into pieces by just this one blow.

Standing in the void, the witch lady's face turned slightly pale.

Opposite her was the Lord of the Abyss who was in a punching stance.

"You have just become a spiritual god, and you are able to fight with me to this extent. You are very good."

The Abyss Overlord said indifferently: "But it has been nearly an era since I became the Overlord. Although you and I are at the same level, there is still a gap between us."

"What a pity! If you were not a spiritual god, I would still accept your loyalty."

"Now, I can only ask you to die here."

"You are not the first spiritual god to die in my hands."

The body of the Lord of the Abyss grew slightly taller and appeared slender, his hands spread out into sharp blood claws, and his entire body seemed to have turned into some kind of ancient demon insect, with a terrifying bloodthirsty murderous intent sweeping across the void.

And His momentum also rose further. If the two were originally evenly matched, now, the dark red of the Lord of the Abyss completely overwhelmed Freni's blue gold.

"After all, I still can't grasp that ray of life..."

Death is approaching, but the witch lady's eyes are very calm.

She had already disregarded her own life.

To become a spiritual god, she has accomplished everything she had arranged thousands of years ago.

Even so, he is still no match for the Lord of the Abyss... One can only say that this is fate.

The only thing that made her feel guilty was...

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ryan, I can't complete what I promised you..."

There was a hint of daze in Freni's eyes.

To her, the memory of the Witch King is like a movie she is watching from the sidelines; her main focus is still this life.

The companionship along the way is her inseparable "anchor" and the "foundation" for her spiritual achievement.

The void collapsed before his eyes, transforming into a dark red blood claw that almost cut off the long river of spirituality.

Freni raised her head and watched the scene quietly.

It was not until this moment that she understood.

The reason why he was able to fight with the Lord of the Abyss before was only because the other party had been suppressed in the abyss for too long. After seeing someone in the same realm, he took the initiative to suppress his realm and fight.

The realm of the Lord of the Abyss is much deeper than that of her, who has just entered the spiritual realm.

But even so...

“I’m not going to give up.”

A dazzling blue-gold light burst out from Freni's body.

Above the long river of spirituality, a blue-gold sun appeared.

It illuminates everything.

But all the living beings who looked up couldn't help but feel sad.

This is the final echo of billions of spiritual worlds...

"boom!"

A blood claw that was several times larger than the blue-gold sun landed on the sun. The dazzling light made all the creatures looking up at this scene close their eyes, tears streaming from their eyes.

……

"Kakaka..."

Dark red crystal chips flew around.

A hand grabbed the falling blood claw.

Furenee stared blankly at the figure that appeared in front of her, with anxiety in her eyes: "Mr. Ryan, you shouldn't have come out, you..."

Before she could finish, Ryan turned around and smiled at her, causing the witch to slowly stop talking.

At this moment, there was a colorful mark between Ryan's eyebrows, which kept flowing.

The powerful aura is even stronger than that of Freni, who has achieved the status of spiritual god.

"Captain, we have a promise that I will protect you during this voyage."

He said.

Then, he turned around and looked at the Lord of the Abyss in the distance.

At this moment, the Lord of the Abyss looked at Ryan in amazement: "Another spiritual god? The counterattack of this spiritual river is really powerful."

"No, that's not right! You're not a spirit god!"

"Such an aura... the Abyss of Original Sin? How is it possible?"

"Didn't original sin already break apart in the earliest era?"

A strong look of disbelief emerged in the eyes of the Lord of the Abyss.

Ryan naturally had no intention of answering the enemy's doubts.

He tilted his head to look at the witch lady beside him, reached out and grabbed her slightly cold little hand: "Captain, can I lend you something?"

Freni looked puzzled.

The next moment, a figurehead statue emitting black light flew out of her body.

"This is?"

Freni's eyes widened slightly.

This is the secret treasure inherited from the Kingdom of Augustus.

In fact, she hadn't used it in a long time.

She can only observe the investment, and this secret treasure can no longer keep up with the pace of her improvement in strength.

Under Freni's gaze, the figurehead merged into Ryan's body.

And in the depths of the true spirit that is invisible to outsiders.

[The Unnamed Ship Sculpture] cheered with joy.

After countless epochs, it finally became whole again.

"Om-"

Next to Ryan, a figure that looked exactly like him, but seemed a little more transparent, slowly walked out.

----

【Unknown Ship Sculpture】

[Level]: Chaos Level 0 (%) - Absorbing the spiritual essence contained in the [Anchor Point] can slowly increase the level.

[Function]: Attachment lv.4, Protection lv.4, Travel lv.4, Advent lv.2 (unlocked)

[Advent lv.2 (unlocked)]: You can summon a wandering clone to descend to the main body, which lasts for one hour and can only be summoned twice a day.

----

Not only that.

Ryan looked straight ahead with a calm gaze. The power of the seven deadly sins was no longer mysterious to him.

Perhaps it was the surprise of the girl's appearance, or perhaps it was the hatred of his own weakness, but after being pushed into the golden tree by Freni, he finally understood what original sin was.

[The perfect construction of [The Throne in the Palm] has been completed, and the compatibility of [Arrogant Overlord (Level 100)] has reached %... Judging... After completing the following conditions, you can be promoted to the eighth-level hidden profession - [Original Sin Controller]...]

After going through the ritual of the seven original sins, you have a deep understanding of the seven original sins, but do you understand the original sin? How can you understand and master the original sin without experiencing it yourself? (Completed)]

……

The promotion of [Original Sin Master] not only brought a huge boost to Ryan's basic real attributes, but also allowed him to gain a new professional skill.

Its name is [Original Sin Control].

The strength of all the professional skills of the Seven Deadly Sins has been epically upgraded, and their status has reached a level that even spiritual gods cannot be immune to.

The colorful light of original sin flows around Ryan.

He slowly pulled out the rusty sword, and his wandering clone beside him made the same move.

"Hahahaha!"

"That's what makes it interesting!"

The Lord of the Abyss laughed wildly.

His body was no longer suppressed, but suddenly expanded. In an instant, it became a huge monster tens of millions meters long.

In his hands, the world becomes insignificant, like a giant overlooking the long river of spirituality.

And in His eyes, Ryan as a human is even smaller than an ant.

But the next moment.

The sword intent that soared into the sky, with the power of original sin, condensed into a giant sword tens of millions of meters long, and then, it slashed down fiercely.

Wherever the giant sword passed, unbridgeable marks appeared in the void, and scattered black flames appeared at the edges.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

The Lord of the Abyss raised his hands and pressed them against his head, but was pressed down by the Sword of Original Sin and continued to fall.

"How can it be!"

"Such power!"

A look of madness appeared on the face of the Lord of the Abyss.

He doesn't believe it.

Even if the other party has mastered the power of original sin, how could he suppress Him like this just after being promoted?

unless……

"boom!"

At the bottom of the spiritual river, a huge cavity is formed, and at the other end of the cavity is a deep abyss.

The body of the Lord of the Abyss is no longer as huge as before, but has returned to its original form.

It fell towards the entrance of the abyss, and in the process, its body continued to break apart. This was its [existence] itself, which had been erased by original sin.

But He did not care. He just looked at the sword-holding figure on the spiritual river and said with a smile:
"This time, you win."

"But the abyss is immortal, and I will also exist forever. Even if I die now, there will be a day when I will be resurrected and return."

"I hope you're still alive by then..."

"Kakaka-!"

The original entrance to the abyss is closed.

At the same time, all the abyss passages in the billions of spiritual worlds were closed by spirituality and original sin.

In the void.

Ryan turned around and looked at the witch lady behind him.

"Don't you want to go deep into the abyss and hunt him down?" Freni whispered.

"That's not necessary." Ryan shook his head.

This Lord of the Abyss is dead.

But as long as the abyss still exists, a new abyss master will eventually be born, inheriting the memory of the previous master.

There is no point in chasing and killing until you have the power to destroy the abyss.

He needed to become stronger, but this world no longer had the soil for him to become stronger...

After mastering original sin, he was able to sense that beyond spirituality and the abyss, there was a vast multiverse.

"captain."

He looked at Miss Witch, his eyes full of smiles: "I will accompany you and sail to the end of the golden tree."

"In exchange, could you, Captain, accompany me and sail to the end of the universe?"

Freni looked up and walked in front of the young man.

This time, she was no longer shy. Although her earlobes were red, she still stretched out her hands and wrapped them around the young man's neck.

"Okay~"

"But let me make it clear in advance, if you give up halfway, I won't let you go."

"of course."

He answered, then pretended to be angry and said: "But before that, Captain, you must be punished for abandoning me and facing the enemy alone!"

Miss Witch lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling slightly: "I was wrong, I'm sorry."

"Mr. Ryan, I am willing to accept any punishment."

(The whole book, finished!)
