Water God Palace.
Buzz...buzz...
The whole building was shaking continuously, making an overwhelming vibration. Three huge snake heads, with red holes, were hitting the walls of the palace crazily. The crumbling palace seemed to collapse in the next second.
In such a terrifying scene, there is a figure that is out of place.
Wearing a shabby cloak and her face wrapped in bandages, with her human body, she looked so small and inconspicuous compared to the giant Yamata-no-Orochi, a gigantic taboo monster that couldn't even fit in a palace.
But after this figure stretched out his palm and touched the body of Yamata no Orochi, the three crazy snake heads began to slowly move down, and the red color in the hole temporarily faded away.
Although he still couldn't help but moan and roar from the bottom of his mouth, it was much better than before.
"Wizard, there's no need..." The Yamata no Orochi had a total of eight heads. Except for the three crazy ones and the one that had been corrupted by the Fallen Abyss, the remaining four heads shook their heads at the girl below. Shake your head.
From the moment the second device was activated, Yamata no Orochi knew that hiding in the Water God Palace would not help, because since the other party could take out the second device, there would definitely be a third and fourth one.
Therefore, it is just a waste of effort to waste the power of the witch to suppress the abyss in its body.
Baqi felt that it would be better to talk to the magic witch while the other party had not arranged the remaining equipment and it still had four heads to maintain its sanity.
The orange-yellow snake boy several meters wide looked at the human girl below who was still stubbornly sending power to him after it spoke, and Yaqi sighed.
"Actually, you have done a good enough job. If it weren't for the afterimage of fate you saw, convincing me to stay in the palace, maybe those intruders wouldn't have to work so hard now."
"Baqi, shut up!" the girl frowned and shouted coldly.
It's a pity that Yamata no Orochi didn't pay attention.
It's like an old man who has foreseen his own death and wants to say a little more at the end of his life.
"Wizard, I understand now. What the Water God said, destiny is determined... No matter what the process is, destiny will always reach its predetermined end."
"It was like this in that disaster, and it will be like this now..."
When Baqi was just halfway through speaking, an invisible ripple spread from a new corner of the palace, and the third device arranged by the Ka Guild was successfully activated.
Hiss...hoho!
Angry roars of filial piety were instantly emitted from the three heads of Baqi that had just been comforted by the girl. Their snake boys became muddy again, and even two new heads were exposed one after another. Symptoms of madness.
Their wildly dancing and swaying movements became more and more undulating, forcing the girls to stay away.
Six of the eight heads had been destroyed, and the last two that remained were unable to save themselves. They could only lie on the ground limply, blinking feebly for the last time.
"Damn it! Those idiot strangers!" The girl gritted her teeth, raging anger rolling through her body.
However, she couldn't do anything. As a "divine witch", she couldn't leave the Water God Palace. She could only watch helplessly as a bunch of ants outside, who could be crushed to death with just one hand, gradually changed the story. The ending drags towards destruction.
Is this... destiny?
An couldn't help but ask this question in her heart.
After successfully passing the "God Witch Trial", I inherited the blame of the God Witch and also inherited the ability of the God Witch. I can borrow part of the power of the "Water God" to spy on the power of fate.
Therefore, this allowed An to see the afterimage of her own experience in her original world line, the fate that Baqi just mentioned.
In her world line, that is, the Vivian without Xiao Hei, she alone cannot escape the fate of the Astologis being attacked by a big snake and sinking into the abyss.
Fortunately, she did not die in the sea with the other passengers on the ship. Instead, she relied on her witch power and the power of wishes to become the only survivor.
He also became the only person to enter the Abyss alive.
Perhaps, destiny leads to the same destination through different paths, and the sentence about the fate of the water god is reflected here.
In order to get out of the Abyss, and to relieve the serious cost of "praying" on her body, she had no other choice but to enter the Water God Palace, participate in the trial, and become a divine witch.
Although the process was extremely difficult and made her give up for a time, and she even fell into a secret trap during the process and was rescued with the help of a stranger adventurer, she still managed it in the end and became a magical witch as she is now. .
At first glance, everything seems to be developing in a good place. Because of the new shaman, the Water God Palace can continue to operate and suppress the abyss. The fall of the abyss in Yamata no Orochi has also been effectively suppressed, and she herself has also been suppressed. Relying on the power of the witch, many "costly" sequelae were cured.
However, these are clearly not what "that organization" wants to see.
So they took action, and just by doing a very simple thing, they shattered this fragile and short-lived beauty.
The reason why the Astorogis was attacked by the serpent was because there was a witch on it, a fugitive witch who was wanted by the Flame Realm.
The witch used evil secrets to control Yaqi, relied on the big snake to enter the abyss, and then killed the original god witch in the Water God Palace and replaced her, trying to steal the power of the Water God inside.
Having already secretly infiltrated Sanfengxing, they easily controlled public opinion and launched a crusade to "save" Yuan Hai across Thousand Islands.
Not only did they use the force pursued by Da Zu, they even united with Yanyu and sent ships to pick up countless knights from Yanyu to launch joint operations.
As for her, she could only watch all this happen, watching the organization pollute the abyss and pour the "dirty water" of the serpent's corruption onto her body, and she was powerless.
In the end, with the help of Yamata no Orochi, she was forcibly separated from the Water God Palace, and a random teleportation array was launched, allowing her to continue escaping to the next unknown foreign country...
The future destiny is too far away. An can't see it and doesn't want to see it anymore.
The scene in front of me now is very similar, except that the people who appeared in the Yuanhai to fight against them were no longer the Great Zu Fengxing and the Knights, but the strangers from She Fengxing.
Can she just run away this time?
And then be used as a scapegoat by the other party again?
No!
An gritted her teeth. Although she couldn't get out of the Water God Palace, she could see the scene outside. More and more temple guards had been killed by the foreigners' swords, and the fourth device was already being arranged. On the way.
It seemed like a dead end, but An knew that at least in this world line, she... was no longer fighting alone as her fate dictated!
She took out the drop-shaped, crystal clear necklace hidden in her clothes and clinging to her chest, and held it tightly in her hand.
After An took a deep breath, she seemed to have made some decision, and her expression became a little firmer.
She pulled off the bandage wrapped around her face.
The face that was both familiar and yet unfamiliar was revealed.
What is familiar is the appearance, but what is unfamiliar is that this is no longer an innocent little girl, but a girl who has been burdened with too much and can no longer look back.
The two remaining heads of Yamata no Orochi, even though they were weak, still showed a surprised expression.
It's not that he was surprised by An's appearance. Baqi had actually known An's identity for a long time, but he was surprised by the decision An made next.
Because no longer covering her appearance with bandages means that she feels there is no need to cover her face anymore. It doesn't mean that she doesn't care that there are two identical Vivian.
But...she's leaving.
"Have you really thought about it? Once you do this, you will indeed be able to break through the limitations of the Yuanhai and the Water God Palace, and teleport another one of you over. After all, you are the same person."
"But do you really think...she can do better than you now that she's here?"
The remaining two heads of Baqi forced themselves to stand up and looked at the girl in front of them with their snake boy.
Then what it saw was...
The first smile appeared on the face of this new "divine wizard".
"I believe that the other me, she...can definitely do it!"
"because..."
"Even if she can't, they... absolutely can!"
After saying that, the Chain of the Water God in the girl's hand erupted with a blue halo, and the strong air flow ruffled An's long hair, causing it to fly behind her head, and the cloak of her coat also whirred.
They are both products of the Water God, and the entire Water God Palace seems to be no longer shaken by the impact of the big snake because of this, and is much more stable.
"Baqi, help me!" The girl in the center of the vortex of the air flow, holding a necklace, shouted through gritted teeth.
Yamata no Orochi is the guardian of the Water God Palace. If An wants to initiate a replacement, he must ask for Yamata's assistance.
The big snake asked again for the last time:
"Are you sure? I can activate a random teleportation array to let you leave here, so that you will not be implicated. But once you summon another you, because of the uniqueness of the witch, it means that in this world , your existence will disappear completely.”
"I don't know, does this mean that you will return to your original world, or... you will literally... disappear."
"But what I can be sure of is that the other you, no matter which of the two results is the result, will definitely be very sad, right?"
I don't know if it was a flashback, but the big snake seemed to talk surprisingly much, and it seemed that from the depths of the snake boy, he was still hesitating about something and expecting something.
"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry!" What it got was an angry shout from An.
"I don't care what her mood is like, and I don't want to care. I don't belong here in the first place. I just want to take this opportunity to return to my world. As for her... will they be sad? Humph, I I don’t care!”
The orange snake boy reflected the girl's stubborn and stubborn face.
Baqi suddenly smiled with relief.
Although the snake does not have a smiling expression, this emotion is revealed from its head.
"good."
After saying a simple word, the two remaining heads of Baqi began to emit life rays similar to breath towards An.
"Wait...wait! W-what are you doing!?"
An felt that the vitality in Baqi's body was rapidly draining away. This was not the most shocking thing. What made An most at a loss was that the original power of the "forbidden monster" in Baqi's body was also rapidly draining.
For forbidden monsters, vitality is nothing and is a renewable resource, but the original power is completely different. That means that Baqi gave up the "forbidden" rank.
However, taboo levels are not something you can just give up. For all taboo monsters, the loss of their original power can only occur under one condition.
Birth.
Give birth to children.
In other words, a new forbidden monster cub was born.
The reason why An exclaimed like this is that An felt the Yamata no Orochi on her body and moved some hands and feet to forcibly bind and sign a contract with her.
And the object of this contract is not Yamata no Orochi, but...
A dark green egg condensed by the original power appeared in An's hands, and she subconsciously held it in her arms.
Through the eggshell, you can vaguely see the shadow of a little snake gestating in it. However, if you look carefully, you will find that the situation of this little snake is not good, and even very dangerous.
Because inside the egg liquid, there were not only nutrients flowing, but also clouds of black mist, which transformed into twisted tentacles or parasites, trying to crazily get into the little snake's body.
The little snake, which was still in its embryonic form and had no consciousness, could not stop it at all. It could only let the black mist pour into its body, causing its body to begin to mutate.
Under this scene, Baqi showed a sad and sighing expression.
This is its offspring.
A descendant polluted by the Fallen Abyss.
Originally, Baqi's plan was to take a gamble that it could not save its child, and thought about whether it could rely on An to take its child to another world. In this way, An's world would exclude those who did not belong here. It was wiped out by "falling into the abyss", but its children were able to escape because they were bound to An's contract, so they were indirectly purified.
pity...
It seems that its child will be nibbled and devoured by the abyss before it can make it back...
"I..."
An's body had turned into fluorescent light. She looked down at her hands and saw the death of this new life. She was indescribably sad, but at the moment when she was about to disappear...
"You, you are!" An's eyes suddenly widened, because she didn't know if it was her hallucination, but she saw a familiar person.
An acquaintance aboard the Astrologis.
That astrologer! ?
Meggie! ?
With the appearance of this girl in astrology uniform, all time seemed to have been paused.
Mei Ji walked up to An, then stretched out her hand and made only one movement, which was to place the Water God's Chain around An's neck on the necrotic snake egg.
Buzz!
The pure light penetrates along the eggshell from the necklace into the snake egg, which not only brings purification, but also brings life.
winter...winter...
The dead little snake shadow inside the snake egg had a heartbeat again, but the part above it that had been alienated by Fallen Abyss could never go back or change back to its original appearance, but at least... it survived.
"She will be your key."
"The... snake that burrows through different worlds."
An only heard Mei Ji whispering in her ear, and then saw the figure of the astrology girl walking towards the dying Yamata no Orochi, as if she also said something in the ear of the Orochi...
But then, with the flash of white light, the magic ritual of existence replacement was started, and An's whole body and snake eggs completely disappeared, leaving only a chain of water gods, shining in the air.
Meanwhile on the other side....
