My Endless Life.

Chapter 635 The Mage's Deal
The moment Milch appeared, everyone's first thought was that it was impossible.

Putting aside the fact that Milch should have been buried with the royal city, even if he had survived, it would have been impossible for Harold to treat him with such respect!

But not Milch?

Seeing the other party's hateful face, which was exactly the same as Milch's, everyone couldn't help but fall silent. The shield warrior even subconsciously turned around to look at the mage behind him.

then……

He heard the sorcerer chanting a spell.

It's a forbidden incantation!
"Pariel! What are you doing?!" Realizing that the mage was chanting a suicidal spell, the shield warrior disregarded whether the person in front of him was Milch or not and immediately shouted at the mage, Pariel.

But Parril ignored the shield warrior's panic; her eyes were fixed on Milch as he walked in, her eyes filled with bloodthirsty hatred.

That was a resolute look in her eyes, one that showed Parril's anger towards Milch, even if it meant her own death.

"Oh no—! It's the forbidden spell of destruction, [Heavenly Meteor Fall]!!"

A priest nearby noticed the forbidden spell Paril was using. Violent magic surged, and crimson magic circles surrounded Paril. Just from the visual effect, it was clear that this move was an extremely powerful attack!
The same is true.

Meteor Fall is a forbidden technique that attracts meteorites from the sky!

It can teleport enormous meteorites from an unknown distance into the sky, then imbue them with powerful magic to make them fall from the sky!
At its peak power, it could almost destroy a country with a single strike!
This is not a spell that should be used at close range. When using this spell, the mage should stay far away from the attack range, or at the very least, float high in the sky, and be prepared for defense.

However, none of the people here are taking any precautions!

Paryl silently used this forbidden technique, which could almost be considered a mutual destruction, leaving everyone present no time to worry about Milch and Harold.

Even the Pope, who had previously been in despair, couldn't help but attack Parril at this moment:

"Stop her!!"

The Pope raised his scepter, ready to unleash a spell of light.

But someone was faster than him.

"A forbidden technique to attract meteorites? Interesting." The figure that resembled Milch actually passed through the barrier of the magic circle and came directly to the center of the magic circle, standing face to face with Paril.

Paril was also surprised by Milch's sudden appearance, but she didn't stop chanting the incantation.

Forbidden spells have very long incantations. Even if Paryl has mastered the secret techniques of rapid chanting and abandoning chanting, she still needs to chant the magic spell for at least a minute.

There are still more than thirty seconds left before the incantation is complete, so she can't stop.

But Parril soon discovered that she had to stop, whether she wanted to or not.

Because Milch grabbed her chin and, with just one finger, shattered the entire auxiliary magic circle that was used to cast the forbidden spell!

Compared to the fact that the other party suddenly appeared in front of her, what shocked Paril even more was the fact that the other party could dispel the magic with just one finger!
With her mouth gagged, she couldn't speak, but her eyes changed from anger to a clear, bewildered look.

Magicians are a very intelligent group of people... at least most of them are, and Paryl, a world-class magical genius, is no exception.

With just a few quick movements, Milch realized that the other person was likely not the Milch she thought he was.

At least that Milch wouldn't do something so horrifying.

"Ah! My God—! What great power! What exquisite magic! With just a gentle touch, you destroyed the magical node, eliminating this forbidden spell that was enough to destroy the entire holy city! Ah, my God—!"

Harold's disgustingly fanatical words then rang out.

However, his fanatical behavior did not seem to be accepted by Milch.

Before Harold could finish speaking, Milch interrupted:

"Shut up, if you say another word, I'll turn you into a pig and throw you outside."

"..."

Harold immediately fell silent and respectfully knelt on the ground.

This man... is as disgusting as ever.

Parril's eyes flashed with disgust, but she did not resist and quickly turned her gaze to 'Milch'.

Noticing Parril's probing gaze, 'Milch' let go of her hand.

Once freed from her restraints, Parril immediately asked:

"You...no, who are you?"

Now, no one would believe that the person who could teleport into the magic circle in an instant, destroy a forbidden spell with a single move, and not suffer any backlash was that ignorant and wicked Milch.

Even though Parry hated Milch, she now understood that the Milch in front of her was not Milch; he was someone else.

'Milch' did not answer; he seemed to have lost interest in Paril and turned to look at the Pope sitting above.

Meeting his gaze, the Pope trembled slightly, but then asked with great excitement:

"God...you...you are the Goddess herself!? You...have you come back to save us!?"

"...I'm not your goddess, but to you...I guess I could be considered a god? Hmm...the Grim Reaper?"

Thinking about how Harold addressed him, Li Qi readily accepted the title of 'god'.

The people present looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this. They had legends of gods here, but only those of goddesses and creator gods. As for other gods, they had been deemed to be fictional, including the god of death.

They didn't really believe Li Qi when he claimed to be the Grim Reaper. But his identity wasn't important now. Goddess or Grim Reaper, if he was a god, perhaps he had a way to deal with the demons?
At this moment, everyone's thoughts were basically the same. The young king reacted the fastest, immediately kneeling down before Li Qi and asking:

"Then, Your Excellency Death, may I ask, have you come to help humanity continue?"

"It depends on your performance."

"Please speak plainly, Lord Death."

"Give me all the cultivation secrets you have accumulated throughout history. If you satisfy me, I will help you defeat the demons."

Li Qi revealed his purpose.

Soul power cultivation requires plundering the origin of the world after transmigration, and one way to plunder the origin is to cultivate the cultivation system of the current world.

We should absorb the fundamental power of the world in a gradual and persistent manner.

This is the gentlest approach, and the one least likely to provoke hostility from the world.

A method similar to Li Qi's, where he simply comes in and takes a bite, is not impossible, but it's easy to attract the world's attention. Sometimes, instead of absorbing the source, one might even get injured by the world.

Li Qi is still fine, which is probably due to his unique ability to travel between worlds; other soul power cultivators cannot imitate this.

Moreover, the prerequisite for Li Qi to travel to the world to consume its origin is that he must first die once and his soul will travel there.

He's doing just fine in the interstellar world now, and he has no intention of improving himself in this way.

Finding cultivation methods in the current world and improving soul power in traditional ways has become what Li Qi needs to do.

The king and the pope were very sensible.

After learning of Li Qi's purpose, they immediately took action, searching the Holy City for all the cultivation secrets they could find.

After their actions, the magician Parril approached Li Qi and knelt down before him, saying:

“Lord Death, I have my family’s secret method for refining magic and a family’s forbidden spell, which I can give to you! But… I have a request.”

"How dare you!!" Harold, the lackey, stepped forward at the opportune moment, pointing at Parril and saying, "Our god is willing to let you humans cultivate your things; this is a blessing for you. How dare you make demands!"

Harold had barely finished speaking when Li Qi stopped him with a look.

Harold immediately shut his mouth.

Lee asked Parril, "What do you want?"

“Him!” Parril raised her head, pointed at Harold, her eyes filled with hatred, and said, “I beg you to give me the authority to decide his fate!”

Upon hearing that Parril was coming for him, Harold's eyes widened in shock, and he immediately turned and knelt down before Richie:
"My God—!"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Qi waved his hand, and his body froze on the spot, unable to move any further.

Similarly, he couldn't utter a single word.

Li Qi then looked at Paril:
"reason?"

"He killed my lover and my best friend."

"A hero and a saint?"

"Yes."

Parril responded by bowing her head.

The hero was Parril's boyfriend, and the saintess was Parril's best friend; both of them died because of Milch and Harold's schemes.

Therefore, for Parril, Milch and Harold were her enemies.

Now that Milch is dead, only Harold is still alive. She could understand not being able to take revenge before, but now that her enemy is right in front of her, of course she has to find a way to get revenge!

She's willing to give anything for this!
"Okay, from now on, he's yours."

Seeing Parril's deep-seated hatred for Harold, Richie readily agreed to Parril's request.

Harold's eyes widened even more, almost popping out of their sockets.

His face flushed red, as if he wanted to say something to Li Qi.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't utter a single word.

He was taken away by Parril like a piece of merchandise, and Parril, as she said, handed over all the magic she knew, including her family's secret arts and the ancient magic she later learned by chance, to Li Qi.

Li Qi also began his cultivation in this world.

Although the process was a bit tortuous, the final result was almost the same; in fact, it was faster to do it this way.

Without going through a long growth process, Li Qi only needs to demonstrate his power to plunder knowledge to have everything he wants.

Unfortunately, this world is not a peaceful one. Li Qi had only been cultivating in the Holy City for three days when the demon army had already gathered outside the Holy City.

Two of the four Heavenly Kings under the Demon King's command, the Sage and the Blood Demon, led a massive army of demons that enveloped the entire Holy City.

The holy city was discovered.

Thus began the final battle between humans and monsters.
