I don't want to conquer witches anymore.

“No way!” Faced with Monica’s suggestion, Annie could only grit her teeth and refuse. Her face turned pale as the massive skeleton army perished at an alarming rate. “What it’s looking for is something that Megan and I absolutely cannot agree to or compromise on!”

Monica had only heard Anne tell her what she wanted to do, but she didn't know how Anne would achieve her goal:

How do you know what it's looking for?

“I think it’s one of the mute ones…maybe it’s that Bugatti’s doing. If so, their goal should be the same as Norton’s.” Anne, who arrived in this world of memories ahead of time, probably knows more than Monica or even Duke imagined. “If that’s the case, it can only be looking for those two things—Megan’s location and the mute’s body!”

Only Meghan herself knows her exact location.

in other words……

Monica suddenly looked up at Annie.

"That's right, the mute person's body is in my hands!"

Chapter 281 The Tyrant Awakens

Since the Faceless Norton, the Bone Army and the Candy Army have joined forces once again. However, unlike the previous swift defeat of the Faceless Norton, this time the Bone and Candy alliance suffered a crushing defeat.

Clearly, once an individual's strength exceeds a certain limit, the army's power is insufficient to contend with it. The Bone Candy Alliance, capable of easily hunting down Faceless Norton, was utterly helpless against the Sinful Beasts, their bodies entangled in threads of sin. The poor bone dragons and candy dragons quickly became the Sinful Beasts' prey.

If this were the real Candy Castle, under the threat of enemies like the Beast of Sin, both the Bone Legion and the Candy Legion would undergo an incomprehensible evolution in the shortest possible time, until they mass-produced top-tier legendary units. However, what exists in this memory world is merely a fake Candy Castle that Megan has somehow replicated. Although it also possesses the ability to evolve, its strength is not as great.

The Beast of Sin targeted the remains of the mute and Saint Megan. After brutally displaying itself in the world of memories, it was like a powerful catfish thrown into a school of sardines, stimulating the lazy sardines to move and directly breaking the balance that had been maintained in the floating city!

It raised its proud head, roared to the sky, and then, with elegant steps, stepped over the wrecked bone dragon and, like lightning, penetrated the territory of the bone legion, heading swiftly towards the location of Annie and Monica.

"You're not telling me the remains of the mute are right here, are you?" Monica, forcibly suppressing her excitement and trying her best to remain calm, asked through gritted teeth, "So that's why it charged straight towards this area?"

Anne tried to evade the question, but it was clear that Monica had been right; the mute's remains were hidden nearby. It was unclear how the Beast of Sin sensed the location of the mute's remains, but it charged straight at them.

"What do we do?" Although her expression remained calm, Monica's voice involuntarily became more urgent. She knew how terrifying that sinful beast was, so she was even more anxious than Annie at this moment. "Do you have any trump cards left?"

“Yes.” Annie glanced at Monica. She was so much worse than the cold, gloomy, and ruthless Monica she remembered… How could Monica have become like this after being imprisoned in the Tower of Babel for only a few decades? But this was clearly not the time to think about such things. Annie suppressed her slight confusion, rolled up her sleeves, and said, “I also have my own special magic.”

"Your signature spell?" Monica was slightly taken aback. "You're already a witch?"

"How many years do you think you've been locked up? Is it strange that I became a witch?"

Anne pursed her lips, and the delicate skin on her right arm turned into bone at a visible speed. She pressed her hand onto the soul fire of a loyal skeleton warrior beside her and began casting a spell.

In terms of compatibility and potential between the soul and body, undead creatures are inherently at a disadvantage compared to living beings. Even for the same professional, comparing their identities as a living being and as an undead after death, the latter is always weaker. For top-tier professionals, a complete body is far superior to a skeleton.

This is precisely the opposite of Annie's research—how to give the dead a new life.

Her signature spell is the result of her research in this area. Although she has not yet fully completed the spell, she still became a member of the Floating City Witches because of it.

To bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bones.

It sounds simple, but the Great Resurrection spell has always been a forbidden spell. No one can unlock the secrets of the soul, nor can anyone cast the Great Resurrection spell without any remaining soul.

"Let's not even talk about those theoretical things."

Annie's unique spell can heal flesh and bone, but it can also rapidly wither healthy flesh into a skeleton. This "attack" can even bypass the defenses of most legendary powerhouses. If a legendary figure stood still and let her slowly cast the spell, Annie would be one of the few professionals below the hero level in the floating city who possessed the means to kill a legendary figure—perhaps only one of two, the other being Duke.

Of course, just like Duke now, she usually has the means to kill legends, but she has no opportunity to deal damage.

But at this moment, Annie had a way to modify her output environment... The skeleton soldier touched by Annie suddenly grew flesh and blood, and it quickly became an ordinary humanoid creature with flesh and blood. It opened its eyes, lowered its head to Annie, and waited for her to give it orders.

"Wait here until that monster arrives, then touch it without hesitation, understand?"

"Understood, Ms. Anne."

“...Call me Miss Anne! I haven’t even consummated my relationship with Duke yet, don’t make me sound old.”

"Yes, Miss Anne."

The skeletal warriors, now transformed into living beings, saluted Anne, while the other skeletal warriors guarding Anne stood silently in a line to the side, awaiting her command.

“As for us, we’d better hurry up and leave.” Annie clicked her tongue, completely lacking any chivalrous spirit of fair fight. The enemy hadn’t even fully reached the door, and she was already preparing to run away. “Ms. Monica, we should go.”

"it is good."

Monica nodded, but at that moment, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart and brain. Her chest, which had never hurt in decades, was now so painful that she almost fainted. The sudden throbbing pain and dizziness in her brain caused Monica to fall to the ground.

“Ms. Monica?” Annie was stunned. She quickly leaned forward, wanting to touch Monica with her still-recovering right hand to help her heal. But at that moment, she heard Monica murmur, “Be careful…”

"Boom—"

Even though the Beast of Sin was still a hundred meters away, its claws swept across space, tearing the high-rise building they were in into ruins with a single swipe.

The Beast of Sin casually crushed the approaching skeletal warriors, then with a slight effort, leaped lightly into the ruins where Annie and Monica were. It could sense the presence of the Mute's remains there. It gently searched through the ruins with its claws, but before it could find anything, a tentacle made of shadow wrapped around its claws.

"?"

The beast of sin tilted its head, and then it sensed an aura that chilled most of its components.

"You beast, who gave you permission to run rampant in the prison I built?"

The Shadow Witch's deep voice rang out, and then Monica, shrouded in dense shadows, rose from the ruins. A large, dark mass of shadow outlined an indescribable evil god, enveloping Monica and drawing her domain in the streets of the floating city. The wound on her chest, which would never have healed, was now completely healed, and the phenomenon of time reversal finally stopped.

The former tyrant of the floating city has finally awakened.

Chapter 282 Beasts, Tyrants, and Curses

The time reversal that had been limiting Monica's powers has inexplicably stopped.

Monica, now a shadow creature, regained her spirit core. Like a traveler who had been struggling to survive in the desert for days and was almost dying of thirst, she finally received the long-awaited rain and frantically absorbed magic power to replenish her body, which had been weakened by malnutrition.

What was unsealed was not only her body, but also her soul.

Monica's soul seemed to be shrouded in a thin mist, unable to see the road ahead or to determine whether she was awake or still dreaming. This feeling and the lack of memory made her somewhat unlike herself, at least unlike her former self—the shadow queen who had ruled the floating city for hundreds of years with a terrifying iron fist.

Putting aside everything else, most of the criminals and prisoners who make up this sinful beast were sent up by her own hands, with only a few scattered individuals being Carol's doing.

This gave her a significant psychological advantage in the face of the beast of sin.

The Beast of Sin stared intently at Monica before it and the indescribable shadowy evil god behind her. Every cell in its body was venting its emotions—fear of the Shadow Witch and a furious urge for revenge.

"Roar--"

It lowered its center of gravity and growled softly.

Monica gave a cold smile and narrowed her eyes.

And so, the two legendary figures stared at each other in silent confrontation. Until Annie clumsily emerged from the rubble, peeking out with half her head, and mumbled, somewhat dazed, "What's going on, Moni…?"

Annie's words came to an abrupt halt as she saw the Beast of Sin and Monica confronting each other, and they both turned to look at her... In the eerie silence, Annie silently shut her mouth, then returned the way she came without a word, hiding her head back into the ruins.

But even if Anne chooses to pretend that nothing happened, the world will not take her self-deception seriously.

The battle erupted in an instant.

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

The powerful body of the Beast of Sin collided with the shadowy half-body that Monica had conjured. The sound of each punch landing was incredibly satisfying, and even Annie, who had been hiding her head, couldn't help but peek out a little more to watch this legendary battle.

The roar continued.

The elements are trembling.

The world is crying out in despair.

This powerful yet fragile world of memories began to teeter on the brink of collapse like never before, thanks to the combined efforts of two top legends. Before witnessing this scene firsthand, no one could have imagined it—that someone could actually shake the very foundations of the world with the mere gesture of a mortal!

The will of the world and its turtle soup game seem irrelevant at this moment; the one who wins this legendary battle will become the next ruler of this world of memories.

But the mysterious forces of fate seemed to think the situation wasn't chaotic enough, adding even more flames to the already intense legendary battle.

To Annie's astonishment, a spatial rift appeared in the center of the legendary battlefield, and then a man and a woman emerged from it one after the other.

Norton and Amber were not in this world before!

Norton wore a slightly dejected expression, mostly because he hadn't been able to find any information about the Aphasia's remains in the other memory worlds (of course, he couldn't possibly find them, since the remains were already in Annie's hands). Amber, on the other hand, was whistling happily, showing no sign of frustration—which was to be expected, as she and Annie had conspired to find the Aphasia's remains and had deliberately led Norton astray!

How could this be?! Why did they have to return at the very start of the legendary battle?!

This coincidence immediately put Anne on alert. Ignoring the risk of being targeted by the Beast of Sin and the Tyrant, she leaned out and waved to the two of them, calling out, "Amber! Norton!"

Amber and Norton had just left the spatial rift when they saw a monster resembling both a dragon and a lion fighting a woman who controlled a shadow god. They were all dumbfounded, especially the latter—Norton knew Monica, and seeing a legendary monster that could vaguely suppress the shadow witch made him even more confused.

What's going on? How many chapters of the story did they miss?

Amber shuddered slightly, then quickly teleported away from her original spot, instantly appearing beside Annie. She then screamed, "What's going on, Annie?!"

"I don't know either, I'm just as confused!"

Norton, who had been left standing there by Amber, was initially taken aback. Then he saw that the Beast of Sin and Monica were ignoring him and continuing to fight each other around him... This enraged him, and Norton rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "Ignoring me, huh?!"

Having said that, he clenched his fists and lightly touched them together. A pure power then began to circulate rapidly between his fists. This was the legendary destiny that Faceless Norton could not use, and it was the true secret to Norton's power.

His legendary destiny was pure destruction.

The destruction of magic, the destruction of order, the destruction of intact physical objects.

The power of "destruction" was concentrated in Norton's fists. He wielded these supreme fists, punching left and right, at the Sinful Beast and Monica, who ignored his existence and continued to fight.

"Boom-thump-"

With two muffled thuds, the Beast of Sin, which was directly hit in the face, was sent flying backward, while the Shadow God, which was struck, had its body shattered.

The Cavendish family curse.

A madman born with a destructive urge.

Norton, having just entered the Witch Game and experiencing his first exhilarating battle, burst into laughter.

"Looks like I arrived just in time, didn't I?!"

Beasts, tyrants, and curses.

The battle resumes!

A triangular balance was achieved in this small world of memories, and the brawl between the three top legends raised the already intense battle to a new level. Lost in the fight, the legends seemed to have forgotten their primary task—they should still be searching for the remains of the Mute and the whereabouts of Saint Megan.

An unexpected incident woke the three of them.

A skeletal soldier, now possessed of hideous flesh and blood, emerged from the ruins beneath their feet. It was a skeletal soldier Anne had prepared beforehand, intending to use this intermediary to unleash her signature spell on the legendary enemy. It reached out and grasped… Norton's ankle. Almost instantly, his ankle transformed into piles of white bones!

Immediately afterwards, Annie's attack slammed into Norton's head, who had just returned to this world!

Anne and Amber's true purpose, having deceived Norton, Duke, and Monica, has finally found a perfect opportunity at this moment.
