The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

[Hey there! Handsome guy over there, can you tell me when you started pretending? You totally fooled me, sob sob!]

Ning Feng: ?

Quiet down, can't you see I'm trying to subdue nature?

And also, could you please tone down that weird tone of yours a bit? Don't make me lose immersion every time.

Oh? When did it start?

Finally abandoning his attempt to force a blood rain with his power, Ning Feng looked up and smiled at Ariana in the sky:

"The answer is, it started from the very beginning."

So said the mortal who killed the god.

Chapter 421 Keeping Promises

From the very beginning?

Blinking, Ariana took in the scent in the air.

Huh? That's strange, it wasn't just bragging after all!

It's actually true!

"Yes, or rather, you should have noticed the problem when I ostentatiously covered the entire Judgment Word with demon blood."

Didn't you notice?

Ning Feng raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, and then looked at him suspiciously.

No way? You're not lying to me, are you up to something again?

In this world, the only two people who fear being persecuted by Ariana are Cecilia and Ning Feng.

Don't persecute me!

It's true!

Having relinquished his form as the Angel of Judgment, Ning Feng seamlessly awakened the demonic blood within him, rapidly repairing his body.

"The two forces are clashing too much. I don't want to turn myself into a bomb that could explode at any moment."

After all, there are no martial soul fusion skills here, and angels and demons cannot fuse and evolve.

By blindly allowing the powers of angels and demons to merge, Ning Feng could only foresee that he would explode at any moment.

【Um? 】

Ariana blinked, wanting to say something, but chose not to refute:

Hmm, maybe?

But is that really the truth?

Ariana had a different idea about the fusion of these two forces. Ning Feng's ability to walk on two lineages at the same time might already prove something.

But there's no need to say it now; it's better to let Ning Feng think about it himself.

The person who contracts with you is someone who has a strong sense of subjective judgment and also someone who has great confidence in their own judgment.

They are very opinionated and don't easily trust others.

Even if the information comes from them, he will think about it himself before making his own judgment.

Moreover, now is not the right time; let's leave this to think about in our spare time.

"Yes, maybe, but even if such a method really exists, I would never take the risk until I have mastered it."

I'm not crazy, I have absolutely no desire to live as long as heaven and earth with anyone else.

The wounds on his body healed quickly. Ning Feng waved to the Pegasus and then mounted it as it swooped down.

【Oh! 】

The demon girl, whom Pegasus could not perceive, was no different from an ordinary person to Ning Feng. Ning Feng placed her in front of him and sat behind her.

call!

After Ning Feng mounted the celestial horse, it trembled slightly, then let out an excited neigh and carried him straight into the sky!

"I merely used blood to create an empty shell to cover up the words of judgment. In reality, the inside has already been replaced, and the Book of Forgotten has been used to change its external form."

So essentially, the words of judgment haven't changed, which is why that "ordinary" dagger was able to break through the mourner's defenses back then.

"And then, after she stopped noticing... Hmm? Ariana? Hey, are you listening?"

As Ning Feng was speaking eloquently, he suddenly realized that there was no response from the person in front of him.

Sitting on horseback, Ariana was somewhat lost in thought, feeling Ning Feng's body temperature coming from behind her.

She heard Ning Feng's voice and absorbed the information in his words, but this time she fell silent.

Ariana realized that her thinking might be wrong.

His growth is already quite astonishing.

Ning Feng did not achieve that result by accident, but through his own abilities.

From a complete novice in a world that was almost beyond the ordinary to now being able to leverage greater power with minimal strength, thus accomplishing the astonishing act of killing a god, the time that has passed is truly short.

He has changed a lot and grown a lot, beyond everyone's imagination.

including her.

She wouldn't have believed such a rapid growth rate if she hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes.

[For now, things are alright. They haven't awakened yet, so there's still a short window of time for him to continue growing.]

Given his rapid growth, how many surprises will he bring her when the gods return?

But... how much time does he have left to grow up?

When the first god fell, the changes it brought to the world were certainly more than just shock to the masses.

It's like a bloated, low-level but perfectly functional mountain of code; suddenly, a single line is missing, and what follows is, of course, the well-known consequences...

A bug is coming!

She wasn't sure what that chain reaction would trigger.

"What are you thinking about?"

[...I was just marveling at how amazing you are! You were able to calculate everything perfectly.]

"No, not exactly... There's something I haven't figured out: why does the Word of Judgment possess such power? Isn't it just a legendary holy sword?"

Ning Feng couldn't quite understand why the words of judgment were so powerful.

The legendary weapon is indeed powerful and certainly capable of harming gods, but something still seems a bit off, doesn't it?

Above the legends are the saints, and above the saints are the former gods. The words of judgment should not have caused such great harm to the mourners.

Ning Feng's original plan actually differed greatly from the outcome.

He had not expected the words of judgment to eliminate the mourner, nor did he dare to hope that they would cause her much harm.

His initial plan was simply to use the words of judgment to create an opportune moment, and then, once the mourner revealed a flaw, to use his other strengths to amplify that flaw.

Plans never keep up with changes.

In the end, they actually killed the mourner with words of judgment.

With a smile, Ariana turned her head and looked at Ning Feng, who was gently stroking the blade of his sword, and said:

Surprised? After all, this is Cecilia's most trusted weapon.

Cecilia, the Queen of Angels, not only vanquished evil creatures, monsters, and dragons.

If necessary, even corrupt and evil gods who threaten justice are within her scope of attack.

She will lead her army of angels to wage a holy war against the kingdom of the evil god in a righteous and honorable manner!

Among those angels, there were eight particularly special ones.

Humility, Honesty, Compassion, Courage, Justice, Sacrifice, Honor, Spirituality.

They were personally named and armed by Cecilia, commanded by her personally, and received the most trust from her.

"I see."

Ning Feng fell silent upon hearing this, seemingly lost in thought, but finally nodded in relief.

So, you're not entirely sure; you're still taking a gamble.

Risking one's own safety for an opportunity—an opportunity to kill a god.

"...Yes, but there's nothing we can do about it."

Recalling the boy's last smile, Ning Feng also smiled.

"I promised them, I said... I had to win."

The young god-slayer rode a pure white steed high in the sky amidst an endless, blood-soaked rain.

Suddenly, a bright light emanated from his body, and golden light that had been emanating from the surrounding air appeared and then chased after him!

That is divinity!

It is the divine power that mourns the deceased who is without a master after death.

Although not much remains, it is indeed genuine divine power.

And now, it has found a new owner.

The stark contrast was as dazzling as the sun.

Surrounded by divinity, Ning Feng smiled.

他 说:

“My departed friend, I have kept my promise.”

I won.
