The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

"I see. Is it the work of a deity?"

[Even if it doesn’t count...]

[Some people don't want to die, and some deities are unwilling to perish. Their thoughts aligned at a certain moment, and then this miraculous phenomenon occurred.]

She tilted her head cutely and said:

It can only be described as a coincidence, right?

coincidence.

A word that Ning Feng doesn't particularly like.

Ning Feng frowned subconsciously and spoke coldly:

There are no absolute coincidences in this world.

Everything has a predictable path; with sufficient meticulous planning and execution, it can all be achieved as expected.

If you insist on saying that, I won't deny it.

Ariana didn't care about Ning Feng's stubborn insistence and casually flicked her tail.

Simply put, their current state is a result of her prayers.

Unwilling to accept death, they reject the reality of death.

“That Cole…”

[Same here~ A soul unwilling to die was successfully influenced by her and remained in the world.]

Ning Feng was still unsure about Cole's situation, but now he has an answer.

Your adorable Shirin was so worried about you that she didn't notice this subtle change. The other two young people were engrossed in their own worlds, while only the lonely Anthony noticed the anomaly.

"Wasn't Cole affected? Then why did he die completely?"

[Your thinking has changed, hasn't it? The will to die is stronger than the will to live, so... tch.]

She paused for a moment, then suddenly chuckled.

"what happened?"

No, no, no, I'm not laughing at him, I'm laughing at her! Don't you find that ridiculous?

The black cat shook its head, then turned to Ning Feng with a grin:

Look, this is the great power that the gods constantly boast about and pursue—the power they claim can change the world.

With its paws outstretched, the black cat gestured as if embracing the sun, forming the shape of a world.

But what's the real situation? What did they change? What did they save?

She closed her cat paws together and said with a smile:

There was nothing there! Even the soul of a mortal could break free from her will and gain true freedom.

How can this be considered great power?

Moreover, she had the power to keep thousands of souls alive, but she couldn't resurrect herself. What a selfless spirit!

This is truly...heartbreaking!

The cat's paw brushed against the corner of its eye, but there was no sign of it getting wet.

"Perhaps, but whether that was their original intention or not, they have indeed changed the world."

"They used their power to influence and pollute the world."

The divine is the source of all miracles.

The gods are the source of all calamities.

Maybe so~

[But shouldn't we be going now? This hero destined to save the world, you don't have much time to linger here and admire the scenery any longer.]

Ning Feng didn't move. He just kept staring at the people blocking his way, who were like zombies, his gaze sweeping over the tattered markings on their clothes.

"The Watchers, the Silver Council, the Inquisition, the Brotherhood of Shadows, Mary's Poem..."

He remained silent and drew a simple longsword from his waist.

then……

He pointed his sword at the person blocking his path.

Chapter 415 Hatred! (Please vote with monthly tickets!)

In the sky, an angel stood with a sword in hand.

Reflected in the crystal-clear golden eyes of the child are those who have been abandoned by fate and are now standing in his way.

Different genders and skin colors, from different organizations, possessing all sorts of identities...

Throughout different eras, in unknown corners, there has always been a group of people fighting silently.

They left their loved ones, gave up wealth and honor, severed ties with the past, and finally came to this battlefield where survival was a matter of life and death.

Then, die.

Of these people, only a very small number survived.

This event has been happening continuously for thousands of years without anyone knowing about it.

But at this moment, among that group of people, there is another group, whose fate is uncertain, yet they can attest to their past contributions.

Their bodies, which have never withered, are proof of everything they have done for this world.

From the moment they stepped into this place, their lives no longer belonged to them.

All that they hadn't given up, all that still belonged to them, was their own death.

But now, some people have rejected their "living a life of ignominy".

The angel raised the simple, legendary longsword high and poured its power into it.

hum-

As the light surged and rippled, the light emitted by the longsword grew stronger and brighter, illuminating dozens of meters of darkness!

Is this really what you want to do? Have you thought it through?

The black cat disappeared, and Ariana, now back in her demon girl form, sat reclining on the motionless back of the pegasus, softly asking Ning Feng:

You know you don't have much time left, right?

"I know, I won't be delayed for long."

Well, it doesn't really matter to me, but I'll let you know when I have to leave.

"……Thanks."

You're welcome~ It's just so you won't hate me someday!

"How could that be?"

Really not?

Ariana smiled, but did not utter a question.

Ha, if that day really comes, who can guarantee what you, such a stingy man, will do?

But instead of worrying about such a future, wouldn't it be better to prevent that tragedy from happening in the first place?

Speaking of hatred... they don't actually want you to save them, do they?

Do those people at our feet really yearn for salvation?

Not necessarily.

Even if we're just barely surviving in our current state, we're still alive, which is better than dying.

But such warnings did not shake Ning Feng's resolve.

"Living like this is not a blessing, but a curse."

“Living one more day is torture and humiliation for them.”

Ning Feng remained unmoved and answered calmly:

"People like them shouldn't have to endure this kind of suffering anymore."

Have you ever considered that what you're about to do is kill them again, completely and utterly?

You... might be hated.

Do you hate me?

Ning Feng finally smiled, and slowly closed his eyes with a smile.

"If they want to hate... then let them hate."

Upon hearing this answer, the demon finally fell silent, only looking at the man's retreating figure with a hint of pity.

This is the choice he made, and all I can do is stay by his side and support him silently.

Unfortunate people.

Unwilling souls.

Holding her longsword high, Ning closed her eyes and whispered:

"But please don't just hate me, please don't forget the real culprit who caused all this."

Gods.

Opening his eyes, Ning Feng saw only calm in his brilliant golden pupils and forcefully uttered his judgment.

"Please allow me to offer you my final tribute..."

"Real death."

A golden sword light, spanning the sky, sliced ​​through the mist and descended from the heavens in an instant.

boom!
