Reject me, you damn woman.

Then, a vivid, playful smile appeared on her face again, and she looked at Lin En from afar:

"But you're still wrong, right? The Purple Gold Flower Prince, His Royal Highness Lynn Norton, who has planned everything out?"

"Yes."

Lin En took a deep breath and nodded again.

"Thank you, I will always remember this lesson."

"Haha, hahahahahahahaha!"

Hedwig, or rather the soul that now occupied Hedwig's body, laughed again, as if mocking Lynn's arrogance.

"So, do you know who I am?"

she asked again.

At this moment, a rapid vibration sound suddenly sounded, and it continued to vibrate.

Hedwig, who was laughing, stopped, and Historia, who was shocked, also stopped. The three of them focused their eyes on a bulge on Lynn's waist that was vibrating wildly.

"Hedwig" had a frosty face and remained silent.

"Ahem, sorry, I have to take a message first."

Lynn coughed awkwardly and took out a red communication crystal from his pocket.

This is the best quality communication crystal in his hand, and only a few of his very close confidants have it. The last time Lin En used it was to ask for help from his mother, the Empress.

And the person who recently got the crystal from Linn...

As the answer button was pressed, the intermittent and vague voice of the witch Serena came through:

"Your Highness, zizi, be careful, the other party is not the Lord of the Undead at all, zizi, it's... bang!"

Due to overload and some unknown influence, the crystal in Lin En's hand exploded into countless pieces.

Lynn raised her head and looked across at Hedwig who was holding out her hand and shaking it a little.

"Now that it has come to this, it would be more interesting to let the person reveal the answer himself, wouldn't it?"

As she spoke, she turned her back to Lynn and Historia, kicked off her high heels that were in the way, and tiptoed with her bare white feet, taking graceful steps, step by step, up the steps leading to the throne in the hall.

Black mist danced around her, corroding her white dress and dyeing it ink-black, which contrasted with her fair skin and cloak-like silver hair. A rose hair ornament with petals as dark as ink appeared above her silver hair.

Only the pale princess is qualified to become the owner of the Rose of Night.

She came to the throne, patted the jeweled armrests, then turned around and sat down.

While playing with the black rose on her fingertips, Hedwig opened her lips and uttered a majestic voice that made countless souls tremble:

"Thousands of souls and thoughts, all bow down to this body,"

"I am the Witch of a Thousand Faces, the Evil that Steals Hearts, the Ringmaster of Heart, the Pinnacle of Psychic Arcana."

"My name is Lilith."

The smile and other expressions on that face were all restrained, and the weak and pale face was left with only the indifference of a tyrant, looking down at the two people condescendingly:

"See you... mortal,"

"Step forward, this is the realm of the ring!"

The boundless and vast pressure rushed towards the two of them like thunder.

...........

At this moment, the real witch who had been in charge of all the arrangements finally unveiled her true face hidden beneath the veil. Along with it, she also revealed all the seeds of disaster that she had spent a lot of effort to collect and that had been buried for a long time and had been planted in this country and this city!

In the shadow world, white light compresses, compresses, and then expands, infinitely expanding!

Amid the witch's angry curses, the white ball of light was like a violently sprouting seed. The ball of light, which was originally only as big as a human head, instantly filled the entire throne room of the shadow world. But this was just the beginning.

The ball of light extended its tentacles, pierced into the earth, grew branches, pierced the dome and the sky, and actually grew into a giant tree, a tree that was even bigger and more magnificent than the imperial city!

This tree seemed to be weightless, yet as heavy as a mountain. It was a miracle and a disaster, growing wildly. The wandering puppets and evil creatures in the shadow world raised their heads, then lost all their remaining souls and turned into dull stone statues.

After barely crawling out of the ruins, the dirty, wounded witch pushed away the huge rock that was pressing on her body and looked up at the sky, but she felt a little desperate. She was surprised and subconsciously knelt on the ground, trembling, and could only subconsciously call out the title of the god she had betrayed and abandoned:

"Goddess, please........."

But this tree is still growing and growing. It seems that the shadow world can no longer accommodate it. It wants to... grow, pierce, and pass through the barrier connecting the real and virtual worlds. And it can do it!

Because this is not an ordinary tree, nor is it what Lin En initially guessed, a tree of life. It is a tree of soul and spirit!

Because what constitutes its trunk is light and spirit, part of the spirit of countless people in Rose City. Those are the thousands of anchor points of this tree in another world. With these anchor points, this evil tree must pierce through everything and get to those anchor points!

The wall of the world is repairing, the tree is growing, and finally...

Click!

The sound of the barrier being pierced penetrated the two worlds. Above the Rose City, with the Imperial City as the center, a huge illusory tree that covered the sky suddenly descended. It obscured the sky, the clouds, and the sun, making the Rose City suddenly go from day to night, yet it was illusory and untouchable.

The little girl with white hair and red eyes stood on the top of the city wall, looking at the huge tree that blocked the sky. She stood up, stood on the towering wall, closed her eyes slightly, and seemed to enjoy it:

"The curtain has been lifted..."

"Hey, what are you doing there?"

At this time, a guard suddenly rushed to the top of the city wall, saw the little girl's thrilling action, and asked in surprise.

The little Loli who was interrupted frowned slightly.

The next moment, the guard suddenly turned pale, spit out blood and fell to the ground.

He just suddenly coughed up blood and choked himself to death.

The little Lolita was satisfied and continued to sing:

"The curtain has been raised, all the lies have been exposed, all the actors and audiences are in place, so now, dear audience,

She stretched out her delicate little hand, clenched it in the air, and then swung it downward, like a conductor striking the strongest note:

"Let the prophecy of destruction begin!"

The majestic tree suddenly shook slightly, and countless balls of light scattered to every corner of the Rose City. Each of these balls of light was a beast soaked in evil thoughts, and would devour everything around it as soon as it landed.

The people were running around in panic, terrified. The guards were shouting and blew whistles, trying to maintain order. The soldiers were roaring like thunder and forming a battle formation. Just because of the appearance of the tree, Rose City, the most powerful city in the Northern Kingdom, was in chaos.

Suddenly, a gust of wind rushed out from the imperial city, and the howling wind killed countless evil beasts with just the aftermath. The figure of Quevedo, the only eight-ring strongman in Rose City, the great arcanist, and the chief royal arcanist, appeared in the sky along with the gust of wind, staring at the illusory tree and the Rose City at the foot of the tree that was like hell, with his brows deeply furrowed, and his old face was filled with lion-like anger.

Because the powerful inspiration from the demigod level has been frantically warning him that this is just the beginning.

The true evil that the tree conceived had not even been born yet.

Quevedo's attribute is wind. If the wind disperses, perhaps more people can be saved, but it cannot stop the breeding of evil. If the wind gathers, it can stop the breeding of evil, but can the Rose City still be called the Rose City if it loses all its people?

"Can Rose City really survive this?"

The old warrior who had fought in countless battles and had guarded Rose City for hundreds of years began to doubt himself for the first time when faced with this hellish scene.

"Old friend."

Suddenly, a familiar call startled Quevedo.

...........

In the throne room, the area closest to the roots of the illusory tree was the quietest. The great changes that swept the entire city did not seem to affect the throne room at all, and no monsters approached here.

"How is it, His Highness Lin En?"

Hedwig on the throne leaned forward slightly, propped up her chin, and admired the prince who had made a mistake himself, wanting to see despair on his face.

"What do you think of this scene of destruction? Isn't it very beautiful?"

However, she was disappointed. She did not see despair and confusion on Lin En's face, but only a hint of ridicule and sarcasm:

"Beautiful? I just think it's ugly and clumsy, just like your shitty disguise!"

"What did you say?"

The voices of the thousands of people suddenly turned cold, but the next moment, they returned to calm:

"It's not a good habit to be stubborn, Your Highness. If you are really so capable, and if my disguise is as bad as you said, why didn't you notice it in time? Why are you helpless in the face of the current situation?"

Lin En shook his head:

"No, you disguised yourself very well, and you hardly revealed any flaws. Or rather, because of your ability, even if there were flaws, ordinary people would not be able to find them. Although I did not completely trust you at the beginning, I have to admit that in the later period, there were many times when I almost thought that I had made mistakes in my judgment. I was about to trust you completely, but your mistake was also here!"

"Your disguise is so perfect and you are so self-righteously smart that I have almost no reason to doubt you."

Lynn sighed:

"But that's your flaw. Everything went too smoothly. When I teamed up with you, everything went very smoothly. There were always helpers and solutions to any setbacks, even if some of them were beyond my expectations. But looking back, your biggest flaw was that you didn't show up twice."

Hedwig listened in silence, her smile gradually fading.

"You didn't show up during the trial of His Highness Xervis because you are his biggest hidden sponsor. If you were there, he would have asked you for help. Although you can use the mind arcane to make up for this flaw, you are not sure whether I will ask a high-level arcanist to be present. So just in case, you simply didn't show up."

"anything else?"

she asked.

"And the second time, after I encountered the Serpent of Fate, you didn't show up either, because you didn't dare to show up in front of Martina, the messenger of the Earth Mother Goddess. You didn't dare to let me know that you were not afraid of the divine light of the God of Life at all!"

He took a deep breath, his lips bitter.

"Because you, Lilistia of the Heart, have convinced me that you are Tata Atos of the Dead, and all my arrangements are for dealing with him."

"Then I succeeded, didn't I?"

She said disdainfully.

"No, I said, this is why you failed, Heart Ring, Lilistia,"

"You are indeed very bold, Lady Lilith. If I am not mistaken, the first target you used your spirit to occupy when you came to Rose City was Her Highness Hedwig. This is indeed a good move, but unfortunately,"

Lin En stretched out a finger and put it in front of her lips.

"I will never condone this cowardly act!"

"Your first cowardice exposed your true identity and real background in disguise, and your second cowardice made you miss something, which is the reason for your failure."

He smiled slightly,

"Backstab, here it comes~"

At this moment, there was a sudden loud "boom" in the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the throne room, and half of the sky was dyed red by the huge fireball, along with the branches of the Tree of Illusion.

"This is?!"

Hedwig's pupils shrank.

..........

Above the sky, Quevedo looked at the flying beast that had just flown out to try to stop the two but was instantly roasted to ashes by the fireball. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but say:

"Old friend, you are too violent. Watch your range."

"scope?"

In the void in front of him, the elegant and easy-going old butler, who was wearing a three-piece suit and shiny leather shoes, as graceful as if he was going to a concert, frowned slightly when he heard this.

"I'm so angry, old friend. Do you know how hard it is for me to recognize you?"

He slowly took off his straight suit jacket, folded it carefully, threw it away, and put it into the void.

"These beasts came once sixteen years ago. The good girl whom I regarded as my daughter lost her life because of these rubbish. And the other pile of rubbish and cowards she was protecting still want to slander her and tarnish her reputation."

Quevedo was silent.

"Now, they come again, and they want to covet the good girl I regard as my granddaughter. As for the other group of scum that I want to protect, most of them have bullied my precious granddaughter."

At this moment, several new evil beasts, large and small, flew out and attacked the two men. Quevedo raised his hand and swung out a storm, but only killed a few small evil beasts. The huge evil beast flew out with the storm, roaring and biting at the old butler who was still rolling up his sleeves.

"Watch out, Carl!"

Quevedo raised his hand and shouted.

But Carl was still talking to himself:

"They called her a useless little witch, a brainless tablet, and a fire disaster like her mother. Do you know how angry I am?"

boom!

The huge evil beast collided with the old man. Under Quevedo's shocked gaze, the old man's fist sank into the belly of the evil beast. Countless fiery cracks and meteors erupted with his fist as the fulcrum, like the cracked earth under the eruption of lava.

"Because I am the flame disaster!"
