Hate Me, Miss Witch!

In the imperial capital under the night, dark clouds gloomy and oppressive came from unknown time.

There was a faint glowing arc of electricity, wandering in the dim clouds.

"It finally worked."

"The holy relics passed down by our family's ancestors actually answered our prayers once again."

In the dilapidated building, several people looked excited.

They all wore gray-white robes, with a twisted snake emblem engraved on the collar.

Unlike other cult groups who are full of confidence and vow to overthrow the imperial capital and spread the will of the evil god they serve to every corner of the continent.

From the beginning, these people did not have much hope in the coming of their Lord.

Because as early as thousands of years ago, in the Third Age that even the sacred calendar had not yet opened, they could no longer hear the voice of the Lord they served.

No matter how he prays to the holy relics left behind, even the most powerful Patriarch with the purest faith cannot get a response from the Lord.

A sect that cannot perform miracles in the gods it believes in and cannot respond to the expectations of believers will naturally not be able to develop for a long time.

So slowly, the once prosperous angel family "Mercury Blood", which once became the secret leader of several human empires in the Third Age, also gradually declined and withered.

Eventually, only this small branch of the vein remained.

Time has passed, the third era has ended, and the fourth era has begun.

Because they were too weak and had little power, even the Holy See of Dawn had determined that Mercury Blood, the once glorious angel family, had long been destroyed and had not included it in the list of heretics.

And the reason why they appeared in the imperial capital this time was not to conspire with other evil cult groups.

But just because of some remaining connections from the past family, I accidentally got the news that those cult groups were plotting to cause trouble in the imperial capital.

So, with the thought of being a living doctor, I came to the imperial capital to join in the fun.

Because it has been so long ago, this small group of remnants of the angel family have even forgotten the process of the prayer ceremony.

I could only make some wild guesses based on my impressions. First I learned how to make the sign of the cross and pour holy water like the Holy See of Dawn, and then I learned how to make sacrifices like the cult.

It's a pity that they don't have enough power at the moment to find living sacrifices such as humans, and even cattle and sheep have no choice but to give up because of the lack of money and lack of funds. In the end, they had to kill a few chickens and ducks to make up for their numbers.

But I didn't expect that such a random attempt like a headless fly would actually get a response.

A certain moment.

Above the black clouds, thousands of thunders fell.

Then, in the sky above the dilapidated house, the silver-white plasma converged into a hazy shadow.

It was a pure white, snake-like creature.

"I didn't expect that the Lord recorded in the ancient family books would actually come to the world again."

When they saw the illusory snake that looked like mercury, the people below couldn't help but burst into tears.

After hundreds of years of perseverance, their family has also been shaken.

I have thought about whether to change the family, or simply find another supporter, and become a believer of other cult groups or the Seven Gods of the Morning.

They had also thought about whether the master their family served had already died, or was lost in the depths of the star world and could never return, or was simply killed by other gods in a secret war between gods. He has usurped authority and divinity and used it as a wedding garment.

But, it seems now.

All of this is meaningful.

The Lord has not abandoned them, this is just a long test that spans thousands of years.

And now, once again, He has answered the call.

Naturally, the plight of his family, which was so poor that they could not even buy cattle and sheep as sacrifices, would no longer exist.

This is the true God who walks the world again.

As devout believers who never give up even when they are at their lowest, I and others will naturally receive the most merciful reward from the Lord, and it will be easy to restore the glory of the Mercury Blood Angel family in the past.

But in the feverish fantasy and hope at this moment, no one noticed.

A young man with black hair and black eyes, wearing a black robe with red clouds, quietly blended into the crowd without knowing when.

"Is this the last one?"

"Compared with the previous ones, this one doesn't look that good."

On Xia's shoulder, the little ferret yawned lazily, and the blood-colored magatama and silver moonlight in his eyes slowly dissipated.

With Silver now being a legendary species, using illusions to reduce Char's presence among such a group of extraordinary beings who don't even have the fourth level can be said to be overkill.

Xia Ya looked at the little snake with tightly closed snake eyes and mercury blood flowing in its illusory and transparent body, with thoughts in his eyes.

After ten years in the Garden of Eden, he is no longer the second-ring beast master who knew little about the extraordinary world.

After receiving tutoring from Sylvia and spending ten years reading almost all the ancient books that Yui copied from the White Tower and the Imperial Great Library, Char's knowledge of occult science can be said to be superior to that of most people in the Western Continent today. On top of some legends.

Even so, he didn't recognize what the thing in front of him was.

Just a vague mental energy swept over here, and I noticed a little divine aura.

Therefore, after finishing his work on the other side, Xia Ya just rushed over.

However, Xia Ya can clearly feel it.

The little mercury snake in front of him seemed to be a little different from the incarnations of evil gods he had dealt with before.

There is no such violent fluctuation of divine power, but it is relatively peaceful.

What's more important is that the creature in front of him does not look like a descending body condensed by the power of faith and divine power, but more like a real entity.

This is a mythical creature that truly walks the world.

This is the first mythical creature to come to the main material plane since the Fourth Age. Even in the chaotic period of the previous disaster land, those mythical creatures only came to the body and the incarnation of faith, and they never died in person. Pass.

And it seemed that he noticed Xia Ya's surprise.

The illusory little mercury snake slowly opened its eyes under Xia Ya's gaze.

It was a pair of hazel snake eyes, which revealed cold and supreme divinity.

"Is this the place where I will be reborn, led by fate?"

High and distant divine fluctuations rippled in the void, mixed with the language of ancient times.

It was some kind of ancient variation similar to the mixture of ancient abyssal language and high elf language, which was naturally incomprehensible to the ears of the surrounding remnants of the angel family.

However, Yui's "Fire Source" skill has already been trained by Char during the ten years of doing nothing in the Garden of Eden. It has surpassed "Transcendence and Sainthood" and has been directly upgraded to a super-level skill. Now it can be called a super artificial one. intelligent.

Supplemented by the massive amount of ancient language research data and records stored in the database, as soon as the ancient language was spoken, it was quickly translated by Yui and passed to Char through the Soul Pact.

"I didn't expect that the angel family I founded back then would be in such a state of decline."

"But yes, I have not answered my prayers for thousands of years in the star world, and the angel family has not been wiped out. I am lucky."

The little snake dripping with mercury blood slowly scanned the surroundings with its snake eyes, and the remnants of the Angel family looked at him feverishly.

In His eyes, the color of mercury slowly flowed, outlining the appearance of an Ouroboros.

Then, light spots floated out from the bodies of the remnant descendants of the angel family, converging into a silver-white growth ring, and scenes after scenes of illusory scenes circulated on the growth rings.

That is the Wheel of Fortune on their bodies, engraved with the fateful trajectories experienced by these human beings in their lives. The Wheel of Fortune is reflected in the eyes of that illusory little snake, and is then read in full.

"So that's it. Ashes, Dusk, Oathbreakers, Faceless Men, etc. are all gathered here to descend. Is it to overthrow this empire called Foresta?"

"The density of divine descending on this scale...means that the Fourth Age is coming to an end and entering its end."

"It is indeed in line with my fate that I should be reborn at this time and look for opportunities for recovery in troubled times."

He spoke a lofty whisper, and by reading these human wheels of destiny, he quickly understood the basic background of his resurrection era.

"It's just that there are so many gods descending from the abyss, why are there no signs of them appearing in the world at this moment?"

Those pair of faint yellow snake eyes looked at the calm, silent and peaceful imperial capital building complex in the distance under the night cover, and there was a little confusion in the ancient self-talk.

My purpose is not to show off my power and spread my faith, so the movement is naturally not too big.

But as an ancient existence among true gods, he is naturally very aware of the virtues of those evil gods on the abyss side. Because he has been in the abyss for a long time and has been assimilated by the will of the abyss, most of his brains are a little abnormal.

In the chaotic period of the Third Age, the advent ceremony would easily destroy an entire human city. Now that multiple gods are descending at the same time, how can it be possible to make such a small noise?

But then, his eyes paused slightly.

Then, he landed on an inconspicuous black-haired boy in the corner of the crowd of remnants of the Angel family.

He clearly realized that his authority to observe the wheel of fortune had encountered resistance from the other party.

Do you have any holy relics with you?

Although he has only just been reborn, the person who observes destiny still exists, and the mystery of ordinary holy relics cannot hide destiny at all.

Only those ancient holy relics from the First Age can achieve this level.

This immediately made him interested.

If he could obtain a sacred relic from the First Age from the hands of his followers and then devour the mystery within it, then the progress of his resurrection would undoubtedly be accelerated a lot.

The faint yellow snake pupils shrank slightly, and the flow of mercury suddenly accelerated, completely releasing the authority to observe destiny.

The black-haired boy's body was covered with a few spots of light, but no picture was formed.

hiss--

It seems that the mystery of the holy relic on his body is far more powerful than I imagined.

Maybe it doesn't just come from the First Age, but even earlier... the beginning of the birth of a plane where even intelligent life did not exist.

And if he could completely swallow up such a mystery, he might even have the opportunity to completely skip the process of slowly accumulating power and recover, and directly ascend to the throne of God at his peak.

Thinking of this, the mercury snake's snake eyes also revealed a bit of hot light.

The roar came from the depths of the illusory spiritual world, and the light spots on the black-haired boy's body also sped up a bit faster.

Finally, it turned into a hazy silver wheel.

It is different from the previous wheel of fortune that was randomly condensed from the remnants of the angel family and then easily turned for observation.

The black-haired boy's wheel of fortune is very faint. Even if he activates his power with all his strength, he can only observe an extremely incomplete and hazy corner.

The further away from the present time, the more difficult it is to observe destiny.

But at this moment, with all his efforts, the wheel of fortune turned only slightly.

This kind of rotation, compared to the decades of human age, is only a fate that was not achieved dozens of minutes ago, or even an hour.

What is he?

The little mercury snake finally discovered something was wrong.

However, right after.

The illusory scene gathered on the Wheel of Fortune made him freeze in place.

That is what is engraved on the black-haired boy's wheel of fortune. The trajectory of his fate dozens of minutes ago can also be understood as the real past that happened half an hour ago.

…

Reflected on the illusory wheel of fortune is a silent night sky.

It is between the star realm and the main material plane, located outside the main material plane, but has never truly entered the vast star realm.

It can also be called "the outside of the world".

Because they don’t want the aftermath of the fight to affect the present world, many powerful men above the legendary level will choose this place as the battlefield to fight each other.

And within the outside world at this moment.

There are several illusory shadows of mythical creatures standing slowly, some twisted, some ferocious, some calm and depressing.

There are hazy figures bound to a bronze cross, there are demon wolves whose hair is bathed in the twilight light, and there are also figures whose figures are constantly changing, making it difficult to see their true appearance.

The mercury snake's faint yellow snake eyes shrank slightly.

He recognized the phantoms of these mythical creatures - Dusk, Oathbreaker, Faceless Man...

It was the abyss-testing evil gods who were about to perform the coming ceremony that he had previously read in the Wheel of Fortune of the remnants of the angel family.

From this point of view, they have clearly completed their arrival.

And judging from the degree of descent, although it is not a complete divine body, it is still above the peak of legend, and even close to the incarnation of demigod.

Especially the demon wolf named Dusk, who seemed to have had part of his divinity and authority taken away by usurpation before. Although he was only half-body, he seemed to be fighting for everything.

It was a divine body born from a legendary leader of the cult as a one-time carrier and infused with massive power of faith. It had truly reached the status of a demigod.

However--

Above the starry sky, opposite the several mythical creatures, there was only one person.

He had black hair and black eyes, wore a black robe, and held a red staff in his hand.

Looking at the crimson staff, the mercury snake couldn't help but recall some long-lasting memories from several epochs ago in his mind.

Black Tower.

Spellcaster holding a staff.

wizard.

That was really not a wonderful memory.

Is this black-haired boy actually a spell caster, a wizard from the Black Tower?

He redirected his consciousness and set his sights on the illusory picture of the Wheel of Fortune.

"Although from the perspective of pursuing efficiency, it should be the least labor-intensive to use nuclear explosions to deal with you."

In the picture, above the starry sky.

The young man with black hair and black eyes shook his head slightly.

"However, Yin finally advanced to the advanced level, and Chihong is also clamoring for actual combat."

"After all, after ten years of keeping them bored, the pet beasts' small demands must still be met... There is a saying that if you don't torture the mink during the day, the mink will torture you at night."

"By the way, I just happened to test the power of the newly developed pet beast combination skills."

As he spoke, he gently placed his hand on the red staff.

Since he is a wizard from the Black Tower, is he going to cast a forbidden spell?

However, the forbidden spell released through the staff can be effective on the descending body of the demigod level...

However, such thoughts only just occurred.

The next moment, the mercury snake's faint yellow eyes suddenly solidified.

Because, right after.

The wooden staff that looked like a staff suddenly shattered.

It revealed the blade that shone like silver but was surrounded by black flames.

"This combination of silver and red..."

"Just call it - "Flowing Blade Like Fire". "

The black-haired boy looked at the long knife in his hand and couldn't help but let out a teasing laugh.

Then--

Swing the knife.

Cut out.

"Everything in the world is reduced to ashes."

…

boom--

The white and silver incomplete wheel of fate was broken.

Even the illusory light curtain also dissipated.

Even if the authority to observe destiny is released with all its strength on the other party, it can only trace back less than an hour's destiny.

However, even so, it is enough.

The last image of the light curtain was the black flames that burned the entire sky.

And, under that slash, the bodies of many evil gods were destroyed and turned into ashes.

then.

In an instant.

He understood why those evil gods launched their descent with great fanfare and attempted to overthrow the entire imperial capital——

But at this moment, the city is safe and sound, and it is peaceful.

And why, with my authority to observe destiny, I could only observe the incomplete corner of that young man's wheel of destiny.

It was not because he was a lucky person who happened to obtain an ancient sacred relic from the First Age.

It's because this thing itself is a complete monster.

And myself——

As soon as Qia Qia was reborn and still in a state of being unable to fight back, he fell under the opponent's nose.

Destiny, you mistaken me!

"Oh, you actually have the authority to read the fate of others? That's incredible. He is a master of metaphysics and prophecy."

"Furthermore, it seems to me that you are different from the crazy evil gods I just killed who wanted to kill my whole family as soon as they met. You seem to be quite sober."

"So, let's talk in depth?"

An approachable voice rang in His ears.

The young man with black hair and black eyes appeared silently behind the mercury snake at some point.

He stretched out his hand and touched His snake head with a kind face.

Obviously, the body of a mythical creature has long been exempted from processes such as metabolism. It only has the functions of eating and excreting when it swallows and excretes extraordinary characteristics or divine authority.

Moreover, snakes themselves are cold-blooded animals and do not have organs like sweat glands at all.

But at this moment, the mercury snake clearly felt a drop of cold sweat slipping down his forehead.

"Gu, kill me."
