Reject me, you damn woman.

"Still no news about Brother Lin?"

she asked.

"No, nowhere."

Historia had a sad face, tears welling up in her eyes.

“That bastard… He actually died together with that guy, wuwaa ...

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Hedwig, who came over from the side, tapped her sister's head gently and said coquettishly.

The two princesses of the Bayer family, who were once so glorious, now look like a pair of beggar sisters living in the slums.

The two searched almost everywhere around them, but found no trace of Lin En and the Snake of Destiny.

Historia's armor had disappeared due to excessive consumption of magic power. Because of the previous battle, her originally fair and rosy face was now covered with dust, and her dress was torn in many places. Her round shoulders and delicate collarbones were all exposed. Fortunately, she had a close-fitting soft armor given to her by Lin En inside, which avoided the risk of exposure.

Hedwig seemed to be doing better, but Celitia walked straight up to her and held out her hand.

"take it out."

"Hey, what's your attitude?"

Historia said unhappily, but Celitia ignored her and stared at Hedwig.

Hedwig was stunned for a moment, then she obediently stretched out her hand and placed it in Celitia's palm.

Only then did everyone see the burns and rotten blisters on her palms. Her slender fingers, which had once been so delicate as to be impervious to daily life, now had hardly an inch of intact skin.

"Sister, you!"

Historia was stunned.

Just now, when he was having the final struggle with the Serpent of Fate, the heat generated by the self-combustion of the demigod-level strong man followed the invisible chains and could even directly burn his soul.

Historia did not touch her directly, Martina was protected by the power of the Earth Mother, and only Hedwig had to hold the chain with her bare hands.

And she had just used these hands to search in the ruins for a long time, and the blisters and dead skin were rubbed off and bleeding.

"Just some minor injuries."

Hedwig smiled.

"I can continue looking. He is not the kind of person who would abandon everything. He will definitely leave us some clues."

"But he wouldn't want you to be like this."

Celitia said without even looking up.

Hedwig was stunned.

Celitia stretched out her hands, and the gentle divine power quickly healed her hands, but even the divine power could not forcibly heal the burns on her soul. It could only rely on time to heal itself.

And now, the least thing left for her seems to be time.

Hedwig smiled silently and did not tell anyone these disappointing words.

She just looked at the nun in front of her who had been at loggerheads with her, and said seriously:

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Celia lowered her head and treated Hedwig.

"My perspective just now was quite broad, and I could see that Brother Lin and the monster did not fall to the ground, but disappeared. I think we can look for any space arcane spell arrays or something like that nearby."

"Yeah, why didn't we think of that!"

Historia slapped her head.

Several people suspected that Lin En was buried alive in the collapsed ruins, but if he was really buried alive, there would be no way there would be no trace at all. It was more like he was teleported away than buried alive.

"Actually, I've considered this possibility,"

Hedwig spoke in a low voice.

"But in the battle just now, there were many powerful extraordinary people who directly participated. Although I am not qualified to participate directly, I still have some of Lilistia's status left, so I can feel some of the flow of magic."

"So, unfortunately,"

Hedwig concluded.

"With the violent flow of magic just now, it is basically impossible to perform the teleportation technique unless the person performing the space magic is also an eighth-ring magician, such as the legendary space magician of Zijinhua, the dean of Eden College, 'Traveler' Solgana."

"so."

Celitia was also a little disappointed, but Hedwig, who was receiving treatment, suddenly remembered something and perked up.

Wait, this was originally a space-type teleportation array set up by eight-ring or even more powerful transcendents, and there actually is one in the throne room!

Celitia also slowly raised her head, because she had also seen the teleportation magic when it was opened last time. To be precise, not only her, but almost everyone in the entire Rose City saw the "grand occasion" when the space gate was opened.

Even though she had not personally witnessed the lineup of powerful warriors who left behind the teleportation array, Celitia was absolutely convinced that the opponent's arrangement would not fail even if there were interference caused by an eight-ring warrior fighting nearby.

"The secret realm of fire-transmitting gifts!"

The two said in unison.

At the same time, Martina, who was exhausted from all her holy power and could only lie on the ground to rest, shook her head as she watched these girls worrying about someone's disappearance.

She always felt that since she dared to disappear with Lin En, she should worry about the snake of fate first instead of worrying about the cunning prince.

The immortal guy fell into Lynn's hands, and Martina was already worried about the Snake of Fate.

...........

Lin En grabbed the head of the Snake of Fate and fell from a high altitude, throwing it to the ground with a loud bang.

This is how Lin En solves the problem. Since there is a possibility of failure in that world anyway, just move the battlefield away from that world.

However, the explosion of the Serpent of Destiny did surprise him. If it weren't for the help of Hedwig and others, he might not have been able to complete his plan so easily.

The wings behind him vibrated, blowing out a strong wind, and Lin En slowly landed on the ground, while the Snake of Destiny, whose body was almost intact, stood up again in a strange posture.

Because of the tug-of-war game and the subsequent blows, his bones were almost broken.

He should have collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, but he still stood up tremblingly, with his hands hanging limply at his sides, but his spine was strangely bent, like a real snake. He slowly stood up, and the eyes hidden under the mask stared at Lin En with a terrifying smile.

He seemed to not care at all that he was suddenly thrown into a space like the Roman Colosseum.

"What a surprise! I thought you would be eager to kill me right away."

The Serpent of Fate laughed.

"Aren't we going to have a third bet? I have a question for you."

Lynn got straight to the point.

"Depending on your answer, I will decide whether to kill you or not."

"Then he must know everything."

The Serpent of Fate replied.

"What is the Third Sage? Why do you think I would be the Third Sage?"

Lynn asked.

"Haha, I knew you would be curious about this question,"

The snake of fate smiled.

"You probably don't know, Your Highness Lin En, that after the gods abandoned this land, all life was trapped in barren fields, hunted by wild beasts and tortured by natural disasters. It was three sages, three unparalleled great sages, who discovered the existence of arcane magic and the magic web. As a result, intelligent life was able to take root in this world."

"Really? You mean the origin of the arcane was invented by the three sages of the Magic Bell Tower, and they were merciful enough to pass it on to the world. But you don't act like a charity organization."

Lynn Road.

"It's up to you to believe it or not. And you are wrong about one thing, Your Highness Lin En. It was not the three sages who invented the arcane. The arcane and the magic web have existed since ancient times. The three sages who first discovered the magic web passed them on to the world."

The snake of fate paused, as if recalling something.

"The first sage is in charge of creation. He has countless wonderful ideas in his mind. He selflessly teaches the world all the miracles in the magic network. The second sage is in charge of destruction. He holds fire and lightning in his hands. He teaches weak mortals how to drive away foreign enemies and protect themselves."

The voice of the Serpent of Fate seemed to have some kind of magic. A picture like a scroll even appeared in Lin En's mind. It was an era of long night. Countless naked people, who only used grass leaves to cover their bodies, walked in the darkness, chasing three stars, and only the middle one was the brightest.

"And the third sage is the master of all things. He is the beginning and the end. He is the Alpha and the Omega. He is the protector and the destroyer. He can obviously destroy the world, but he has been protecting it... until those shameful traitors appear!"

"traitor?"

Lynn frowned.

"Yes, traitor!"

The Snake of Fate, this monster that has lived for thousands or even longer years, always hides his true emotions with his playful attitude and elegant manners, making him unpredictable. But now, this monster showed his rage in front of Lin En without any concealment.

"The despicable dragon king, the cunning elf mistress, the evil-minded Titans, and... some greedy humans who were supposed to be protected, these betrayers, united to betray the three sages. The first and second sages were sealed in the ancient tower. As for the third sage, He is so great and sacred that even those traitors cannot hurt Him at all."

In the picture in Lin En's vision, three deformed monsters appeared around the three bright stars in the night sky, a dark dragon with prominent horns, a charming and cunning elf with pointed ears, and a giant with red eyes that had blocked out the stars and the moon.

Even some of the worshippers who were kneeling on the ground stood up, holding inferior weapons and shields, and launched a rebellious attack on the three stars.

The first and second stars were sealed by crystal columns one after another, but the third star remained as brilliant as ever, even more brilliant than before.

But at this moment, the other pictures suddenly moved. The dragon king opened his huge mouth and laughed wildly. The elf mistress praised frequently. The Titans picked up hammers as big as mountains, picked up stars, and hit something violently.

"So, the despicable dragon king made a suggestion, the cunning elf mistress gave it a form, and the evil-minded Titans made it a reality..."

The Dragon King suddenly rushed into the sky and pounced on the only star. The magic of the Elf Mistress made it impossible for the star to dodge, and the Titans took out what they had forged, which was a dream catcher specially used to catch stars. The three traitors tried to catch the star, but they underestimated the power of the star. The star broke through the dream catcher and fell on the distant horizon. A small snake was looking up at the sky in the grass and happened to see everything.

The voice of the Serpent of Fate finally came:

"But the traitors underestimated the power of the Third Sage. Any tricks and means were meaningless in front of that great being. They failed. They could not seal the Third Sage, but they succeeded. The Third Sage was exiled to the earth and separated from his two brothers. But the traitors also suffered the price they deserved. The despicable dragons were wiped out of the world, the cunning elven mistress and her descendants had to wander and be separated for the rest of their lives. All the rebellious Titans were bound by the web of fate and could only work like moles next to the lava underground for eternity to atone for their sins, praying day and night for the return of the Third Sage."

"And you, Your Highness Lynn!"

The eyes of the snake of fate are burning,

"You who can even change fate, you must be the third sage!"

“Correct the wrong beliefs, expel those corrupt gods, and let the glory of the arcane and the tower spread across this land again. This is what you should do!”

And Lynn just sighed:

"So, Snake, is this the truth you want to tell me? So I will only ask you one more question. As long as you can answer it, I can consider your suggestion?"

"Please ask!"

The Serpent of Fate said excitedly.

"Those mortals who were supposed to die according to the original prophecy, what are they in your eyes?"

"Those mortals who are struggling in your so-called right world, with anger and fear in their eyes, what are they?"

The Serpent of Fate was stunned. He had guessed that Lin En would ask countless questions, such as why he was the third sage, how he could take back those powers, and whether the Magic Bell Tower could really surrender to him unconditionally. But he did not expect Lin En to ask such a question.

"I'm so sorry. The story of this betrayer is indeed sad, but you will be more disappointed. Because, after listening to your story, I am more certain that I am neither the Third Sage nor do I want to be that kind of thing."

He reached out and erased the images.

His vision returned to reality. The face of the Snake of Fate in front of him was full of astonishment, as if it didn't understand why Lin En could break free from the illusion... not fate.

But the next moment, he felt relieved.

This is also the power of the sage... a miracle, no, a miracle!

The voice of the Serpent of Fate was full of incitement, and the magical tone even made those illusions become reality. Lin En even saw himself standing in the sky, watching coldly as all living beings worshipped him.

At that moment, incomparable arrogance and satisfaction filled his heart. He felt that he could even be qualified to be called...God!

He can do anything!

But why can't we see any color of "faith" in the eyes of those devout worshippers and those who are protected?

He saw only hatred, anger, and the wildfire of resistance.

It was the same look as the guardians of Rose City, the Empress Mother of Purple Gold Flower, the Grand Duke of the North, Dean Solgana and others.

That was definitely not obedience, nor was it worship, but rather the look of a mortal swinging a sword towards the sky.

That was...the look he also had!

From the moment he saw the look in those people's eyes, he knew that was his position. He should not be a god. He would only be the sword that pierced through the body of a god.

There’s no need to start the third bet!
