Freya's eyes widened because she saw Ye Xiao somehow holding the staff and standing in front of her again.
The powerful beast-like fist hit Freya's face again. Before the poor girl could get out for long, she was knocked back to the top of the tower which was almost in ruins by another punch.
This time, Ye Xiao didn't wait for the other party to come out. He waved his staff and a citizen of Hope Town who was flying in the distance suddenly appeared under his feet.
He stepped on the opponent's back and pushed hard, using the force to rush towards the tower along with Freya who was knocked flying.
Freya just used the metal arms that grew out of her body to support herself and stand out from a collapsed boulder, and her vision was once again occupied by Ye Xiao's white-haired fist.
"boom"
With a muffled sound, the delicate figure of the girl, along with a string of broken brass limbs, broke through the wall on the other side of the tower. Her flying figure was accompanied by a few wisps of flying dust and debris.
Freya didn't care about the blood on her face. She waved her hands and sent out several golden threads that wrapped around the carvings on the outer wall of the tower. She then pulled her body and spun suddenly in the air.
Almost at the same time, Ye Xiao broke the wall with a punch, and his strong body like a beast rushed to the place where Freya was previously.
Freya, who was still feeling lucky for having dodged a punch, suddenly saw a wooden staff floating above her shoulder, falling in the air with her body.
Then the ghostly Ye Xiao appeared beside the staff, and his huge hand grasped the handle of the staff.
Looking at Ye Xiao's teasing eyes, the girl who became a god showed a panic expression for the first time.
Another punch hit his face. The head that had been reinforced with divine power was finally blown into a pool of blood like a tomato at the last moment by these repeated blows. Even the stone wall behind him was punched with a hole by the wind from the punch.
Even so, golden threads began to float out from the gap in Freya's shoulder again and slowly began to weave into the shape of a skull. It seemed that she was still recovering.
However, Ye Xiao had no intention of killing Freya. Seeing that she could not recover for a while, he stomped on her hard, used the force to leap up, and stepped on the vertical outer wall to run to the top of the tower like a wild beast.
After all, even if the manticore was split in half, it was still alive and kicking, so a mere head explosion was not a serious injury to Freya.
Of course, this is just Ye Xiao’s guess. His ultimate goal is still the crystal ball on the top of the tower.
Two manticores roared and fell from the air side by side trying to stop Ye Xiao, but Ye Xiao just threw his staff upwards and appeared between the two manticores in a flash.
Before the two round lion heads could react, Ye Xiao punched each of them. They wailed and rolled in the air, brushing against the stone walls of the tower and flew out with a pile of smoke, dust and rubble.
【2: 04】
Ye Xiao jumped high from the top of the tower and jumped towards the crystal ball, but was bounced back into the air by the blue magic power exploding from the top of the tower.
Countless winged alchemy guards and townspeople entangled together, rushed out from the exploded hole and gathered together, rushing towards Ye Xiao like a tide.
Ye Xiao swung his fist to meet the attack, and the fierce force that penetrated through him turned the upper end of the crowd into fireworks made of scattered metal limbs.
But the metal parts that fell to the ground were quickly attracted by magnets and returned to the crowd surging upward like a fountain.
With a loud bang, the floor of the top of the tower was blown away, and Freya, whose face was still half skeleton, spread her wings and soared into the sky.
She raised her hands upwards, and thousands of alchemy guards flew in the air and gathered into a long dragon of human beings.
Two scorpion-tailed lions also flew up from under the high tower, flapped their wings and merged into the head of the long dragon. The group of tens of thousands of evolved creatures let out a deafening roar at the same time.
Ye Xiao exhaled a breath of foul air, held the staff in his hand, and muttered:
"Great God, I pray to you. Please grant me the sword of judgment to punish evil and eliminate evil. And grant me the sacred fire to purify all filth."
There is no need to be so particular about the etiquette when praying to Ella. You can just say whatever you want.
As he finished his words, the tip of the staff in his palm ignited black flames again.
He used his endless mental power to exert restraint, and the black flame that shot up into the sky gradually shrank and condensed, forming the shape of a blade.
Freya flapped her wings to protect the huge crystal ball. The azure magic power gathered in her hands and then merged into the long metal dragon.
The long dragon was wrapped in the energy of the entire earth, and it rushed towards Ye Xiao who was falling in the air like a huge spike rising from the ground.
Facing the mighty crowd gathered below, Ye Xiao took a deep breath, grasped the handle of his staff, and drew his sword from its sheath.
The blade condensed by the Holy Flame of the God of Fire was swung out by Cynthia's body transformed by the divine beast. It was the most ferocious blow Ye Xiao had ever made in his two lifetimes.
Time seemed to stop at this moment, and the picture between heaven and earth was cut by the sword light that could split mountains and break seas.
The black straight line that tore through the sky smashed the long dragon that gathered tens of thousands of people into pieces, cut through the top of the tower diagonally, broke through the layers of defense laid out by Freya, and cut open the huge crystal ball that was covered with magic circuits.
The straight tall tower was split in half by the might that passed through it, and the aftermath even carved a bottomless ravine on the surface of Hope Town.
After this knife strike, the gold coins in Ye Xiao's hand flashed like crazy like light bulbs. Even the super-speed recovery skill bestowed by the Demon God could not keep up with Ye Xiao's squandering speed.
God knows how many of Ye Xiao’s blue bars were drained by this blow.
The long dragon disintegrated as the blue magic power dissipated, and tens of thousands of townspeople and two dying manticores burning with black flames fell like raindrops under the tower.
Chapter 53 Mother
The tower collapsed, smoke and dust spread, and blue dust like starlight floated on the broken crystals and gradually dissipated in the air.
The residents of Hope Town lay on the ground one by one. The originally fairy-tale town was completely unrecognizable after being split open by a hideous crack.
Freya was kneeling on the ground, her long light golden hair scattered messily on her shoulders. Her stunned and dazed expression was exactly the same as the one Ye Xiao had when he slashed with the sword outside the settlement.
Ye Xiao threw away the staff that had been burned to only half a wooden pole due to overload, looked at the messy scene, and recalled Luo Er's words before his death. For some reason, a sentence suddenly popped up in his heart - "Look at what you have saved!"
Well, to be honest, I was acting in self-defense, you really can't blame me... Ye Xiao found a fairly satisfactory reason in his heart, hoping that Luo Er's spirit in heaven would forgive him - of course, the premise is that the alchemical puppet also has a "spirit in heaven".
【1: 54】
Glancing at the system panel, the countdown stopped at this position and did not move, but it still did not disappear, which made Ye Xiao still remain vigilant.
He removed Cynthia's beast transformation ability, and the light emitted by the gold coins in his hand also became dim.
Hey, why are the gold coins useless? My mental strength is clearly not fully restored yet.
Realizing that the gold coin of Mammon in his hand seemed to have lost its effectiveness, Ye Xiao held it and tried to activate it several times.
[No Price to Pay]
The system gives a warm reminder.
Hiss... What exactly is the price? Why is it gone all of a sudden?
Ye Xiao felt around his body and felt that there seemed to be no parts missing.
Could it be that my soul was taken away by the devil? Ye Xiao pondered, but he didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with him.
It’s strange, what exactly did the Greedy Demon pay as the price?
Suddenly, Ye Xiao seemed to be aware of something and rubbed the space ring on his finger with his thumb.
The incoming mental energy found that the ring was almost empty.
Shit…where are my gold coins…?
Where are the tens of thousands of gold coins I put in the ring???
Ye Xiaoren was almost torn apart, beating the God of Evolution into bankruptcy! ?
Even if Ella saved that much money, it would take her half a year! ! ?
Mammon you bastard!!!
Ye Xiao then realized that he had fallen into the evil scheme of the Greedy Demon God, and his face turned pale in an instant.
As he was in a state of dismay, a translucent little girl floated past his eyes.
What's going on...are you hallucinating?
Ye Xiao followed the floating little girl and found that she was staggering next to Freya who was kneeling on the ground.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't give me the entire second stage of fusion, or I'm really going to break apart." Ye Xiao hurriedly picked up a branch on the ground and followed. The knife had been chopped off and the staff had been burned, so a branch was better than nothing.
And it’s not that peach wood branches can drive away ghosts, but maybe they can drive away that ghostly little brat.
However, the translucent little girl did not turn into a ferocious appearance and merge with Freya as Ye Xiao imagined. She just sat quietly on the ground, stretching out a little hand as if trying to touch Freya's head.
Looking at it this way, the child really does look a lot like Freya, with a cute face like a porcelain doll, long curly light blonde hair, and emerald green eyes.
It's just a little strange that Freya actually has such a little sister...
"Mom..." Ye Xiao was still confused, but the little girl suddenly spoke.
ha?
The corner of Ye Xiao's mouth twitched... Is this not a sister but a daughter?
Ah? ? ?
Freya is only seventeen years old? What kind of development is this!? Could it be that Evans, that beast... No, this can't be, this is not the Vatican, there must not be such a plot, it's too outrageous...
Ye Xiao was still in a mess, but saw Freya slowly raise her head and try to hug the little girl with her arms, but unfortunately, her arms just passed through the girl's body as if they were hitting air.
"Winnie." Freya's voice was gentle, and the look in her green eyes was no longer as cold as before.
Azure smoke floated out from Freya, as if she was covered with a layer of blue veil. In a trance, Ye Xiao seemed to see a female figure appear behind Freya.
The outline of the face formed by the smoke was a little blurry, but it could be seen that it was very similar to Freya's face, but seemed more mature.
"You are not Freya?" Ye Xiao finally seemed to understand something.
"My name is also 'Freya', but... maybe I'm not the same Freya you know." Freya slowly turned her gaze to Ye Xiao, the magic power on her body dissipating into the air like steam. Her humanity seemed to be slowly returning, and she was no longer the arrogant god.
Ye Xiao nodded gently, "You are...Freya's mother?"
Freya smiled, her eyes were gentle and kind, but there seemed to be bitterness at the corners of her mouth.
"Evans named her after me, perhaps for this day."
The strange magic power on the other party was dissipating. Obviously, when the power derived from the authority of the new god completely dissipated, the mother would disappear as well.
Ye Xiao was silent for a long while. He had a lot to say, but in the end he could only sigh: "...I'm sorry."
Ye Xiao himself couldn't explain why he was sad.
Perhaps it was the tragedy in the cabin in the woods, perhaps it was Freya's unfortunate life experience, or perhaps it was Evans' madness that led to everything that has happened so far...
At this point, it is not difficult to see that Evans's plan to become a god also obviously includes the intention of resurrecting the mother who had a tragic end.
"No need to apologize, child. You did the right thing." Freya smiled and raised her hand, wanting to gently stroke the little girl's head.
Although her palms were actually touching the air, the little girl still narrowed her eyes and lowered her head, as if she felt the touch from her mother.
"Four-year-old Winnie witnessed everything behind the door and was killed by Evans. Freya in the cradle was too young, so she was taken away just to be used as a tool to revive me." The figure behind Freya gradually became thinner, and her voice gradually became ethereal and ethereal. "So far, my only regret is that I failed to protect my daughter."
Ye Xiao quietly watched the light blue figure gradually rise and dissipate. The overflowing magic power finally disappeared without a trace, leaving only floating dust in the air.
"Winnie... and Freya... this farewell is forever."
Freya's hands slowly dropped, and her eyes were slightly closed on her delicate face like a porcelain doll, as if she had fallen into a coma.
Her lips trembled slightly, as if she was muttering something.
The ghostly little girl with a transparent body was still sitting on the ground with her head down, her short arms leaning against Freya's body, as if she was still trying to feel the touch from her mother.
"Ugh."
Ye Xiao sighed, took off his tattered black cloak, and covered Freya with it.
Evans is crazy and in love with Freya.
But Ye Xiao, who has a different stance, is bound to stop this divine descent.
Even though this was equivalent to the stubborn and kind Freya's last relative in the world being killed by his own hands.
Of course, Ye Xiao, who had seen all the ups and downs, knew that he was not to blame, but he still couldn't avoid feeling depressed.
He raised his head and looked towards the towering imperial city hanging upside down at the other end of the sky. There, the huge magic circle and blue barrier were still operating.
Next, it’s time for another self to end everything.
Chapter 54: Black Saint
In the Cathedral Square of the Imperial City, the silver-haired saint who was kneeling quietly opened her thin lips.
"Lord Evans, you lose."
The high priest holding the ceremonial staff seemed to have an expression of disbelief in his eyes. He raised his head to look at the ruined Hope Town in the sky, his lips opening and closing, not knowing what had happened there.
Uncontrollable despair slowly crept into his usually calm eyes.
"My Freya... Impossible..."
"impossible……"
How could sixteen years of planning be destroyed in an instant?
