Chapter 770 - 126: Interdomain. Undercurrent
"Why?"
Su Changxing couldn’t understand what the other party was saying.
A look of confusion flashed across the female Titan’s face. After a moment of silence, she said:
"Everyone who goes there dies, so if you want to live, stay here. But in the end, it’s still a dead end, just that you can live a little longer."
Su Changxing showed a solemn expression.
If what she said was true, how should he leave this place?
Previously, it seemed that for some reason, he accidentally went to the Eighth Dimension, but the Eighth Dimension itself was not dangerous. On the contrary, there was a natural protection for players, and no player would die there.
Logically analyzing, this female Titan seems to be deceiving him, but her expression and movements did not look like she was lying.
Very contradictory.
"Have you been to the Ninth Dimension?" Su Changxing exhaled slowly and questioned.
Thinking that she was lying to him, at least he was willing to believe so.
The female Titan moved her body once more, pulling the chains, clinking to make her posture more comfortable, a look of clarity on her face:
"I haven’t been, but I’ve stayed in this world longer than you can imagine. Witches have existed in this world for a long time, which you should glean from various rumors."
"And I, Mi, am the first witch of this world, and the reason there are witches is because of my existence."
"The other witches here were all transformed through a ritual after drinking my blood."
Su Changxing frowned slightly, "What ritual? Just eating your flesh and blood grants great power?"
The female Titan displayed a terrifying smile, "Of course, it’s not just that. There is an entity behind it, and it has noticed you, ever since you stepped into this place."
Su Changxing appeared very calm, "You’re talking about that Divine Spirit."
"You know it?" The Titan, Mi, looked surprised.
Su Changxing nodded, speaking indifferently, "Of course I know. It has been paying attention to me since a certain time before, not just when I came here."
This time, it was Mi’s turn to ponder whether what Su Changxing said was true. How could a human attract so much attention from a Divine Spirit?
It’s an incredible thing.
Like how a human would notice an unremarkable ant on the ground, only extremely curious children would do such things, or researchers for their study purposes.
Su Changxing walked forward a few steps, staring into Mi’s eyes, "Your spirit is indeed also tainted by it, though not severely. You should be under its control, but now you’ve broken free using some method."
"Otherwise, the moment I stepped into the museum, you probably would have attacked me."
Yes.
This witch leader was certainly also under that Divine Spirit’s control, just like Eric.
He thought for a moment and said, "What puzzles me is that since you’ve existed for such a long time, logically speaking, its control over you should be deep, so you shouldn’t be able to break free."
The female Titan was shocked by Su Changxing’s detailed description of her situation:
"You are right, but there’s one thing you overlooked, it hasn’t controlled me for very long."
"Before this, although the Divine Spirit had some influence over me, due to the world’s nature, it couldn’t control me directly."
"But over time, their power gradually seeped into this world, allowing them to more directly influence it, so I was indirectly controlled."
Su Changxing nodded in understanding and asked again, "Since you haven’t been to the Ninth Dimension, why say there’s no hope there?"
He saw desolation and deathly silence on the female Titan’s face; she was approaching her twilight years, and even without the Divine Spirit’s influence, she would naturally die after some years.
Although Titans possess incredibly long lifespans, they still perish, just after a very long time.
Mi showed a look of reminiscence on her face, "Before the Archipelago Empire was established, we had already come to this world as players."
"Back then, it wasn’t just me, there were more than ten other Titans."
"We were prepared to go to the Ninth Dimension, having heard that it harbored remnants of Titan humans, and it was the only world that didn’t reject our Titan bodies."
"When we arrived here, the path to the Ninth Dimension was already shattered. We found the path fragments, assembled it, and went to the Ninth Dimension."
"At the time, I stayed behind as the only one, as a precaution, to respond to any unexpected situations outside the path."
At this point.
Mi’s face showed sorrow, it was a desperate memory for her, "Shortly after they went in, they died, almost all dead, so sudden. I could feel the extinguishing of their life flames, and their prior despair."
"They were extremely powerful Titans, what creature could easily kill them?"
"However, one Titan returned, albeit with an incomplete body, nearly dead, he just told me never to go to the Ninth Dimension, it’s a death trap, a hopeless place."
"Rather than going there, it’s better to stay here and survive."
"In the years that followed, I thought countless times about going to the Ninth Dimension but ultimately gave up out of fear, for not every Titan is brave."
Su Changxing felt that sorrow, the sadness of all people dead, leaving only himself, "Looks like you don’t have long to live, don’t you wish to see the Ninth Dimension in your final moments?"
"I have fragments of the Ninth Dimension on me, together with those here, we should be able to form a complete passage."
Clang～
The chains clashed again.
Mi’s face became grim, "The stuff is in the room behind me, take it and leave, I no longer have the chance!"
Looking at her, Su Changxing raised the firearm without hesitation, pulled the trigger, and the bullet shot out from the barrel, drawing a line of fire as it struck Mi’s head.
An astonishing scene occurred; the bullet hit Mi’s head, lodged on the surface of her forehead’s skull.
The strength of the Titan Human’s body was far beyond his expectations; he actually couldn’t break through the opponent’s physical defense.
This level of defense was comparable to that of a High-level Demon.
He changed strategy, turned and ran to the back of the female Titan, kicking open the tightly shut red wooden door, and indeed saw three shattered Bronze Mirrors pieced together, placed on a table covered with red cloth.
He tossed the shattered Bronze Mirrors into the Pocket Galaxy.
A heavy sound echoed from behind.
The sound of chains breaking.
Mi had broken free from the chains, stood up from the ground, pushed open the museum’s roof, and came to the door.
"Please die!"
"Dimensional Domain. Dark Stream."
Su Changxing saw a clearly visible, giant black Magic Array appear in front of them, turning rapidly.
Immediately.
Every corner of the space flowed with black, water-like energy, growing stronger continuously.
The entire space trembled because of this.
It gathered in every part of the space, making it difficult for him to find a way to avoid it.
As the energy in the space continued to intensify, he smelled the scent of destruction.
This was a magic powerful enough to kill him.
Su Changxing showed astonishment.
Mi’s status was no different from before, one might say exactly the same.
There was no notion that she had broken free from control, but rather she was always in a state of control.
Mi talking to him was merely to delay the release of this magic, to release this large-scale magic that was enough to kill him.
That madman Divine Spirit also knew that ordinary means would hardly kill him, only such large-scale destructive methods could force him into a corner.
Su Changxing was also careless, believing his arsenal of strategies meant the opponent could not threaten him, while also wanting to gain more information from this Titan Human.
The revelation of her identity indeed surprised him greatly.
A small Bronze Bell appeared in his hand; he shook it, producing a dinging sound, and his body turned into a phantom, disappearing from his original spot, reappearing behind Mi.
But he was still within the range of Mi’s magic, which not only covered the entire museum but also the surrounding streets and houses.
The exact size, he was uncertain.
Now there were probably only two choices—first, to withstand this magic, but the outcome would likely be death.
He believed the Divine Spirit’s judgment wouldn’t be wrong; since that Divine Spirit thought this magic could kill him, then likely, it could kill him.
The second was to kill this powerful Titan Human before she completed the magic.
But attempting to kill a Titan Human in such a short time was nearly impossible; their bodies were absurdly powerful, possessing terrifying Life Force.
As strong as the Spirit Race’s Spirit was, the Titan Human’s body was just as strong.
And his strength was not necessarily stronger than this Titan Human.
He might not win against her, but he could escape.
Therefore.
That Divine Spirit resorted to such means, wanting to forcefully obliterate him, regardless of the cost, sparing no effort.
The hatred must be deep.
Like having a wife being stolen.
But he swore to the heavens he had never done such a thing, unless faith could be counted as a wife.
Su Changxing, holding the Bell, saw Mi turning her head over, neither fleeing nor attacking immediately, standing calmly as if resigning to fate, looking at this body-twisting Titan Human.
"You have never been controlled; you willingly obey that God. Since you willingly obey, how could there be control?"
"I couldn’t have imagined, Titan Humans would submit to such a mad God. Aren’t you supposed to be entities on par with Divine Spirits?"
Mi’s face was full of madness, her withered hair flying in the air currents, roaring:
"So what, this world has always been survival of the fittest; to live is right, to die is wrong!"
"What meaning is there in anything else?"
"Titan Humans were once glorious and mighty, but who remembers that now?"
"The God said He has lost patience, so you must die this time!"
Su Changxing laughed heartily, full of sarcasm: "He probably wanted to kill me last time, but just didn’t manage it, so his face couldn’t stand it."
As soon as the words fell.
A strange roar came from the void, echoing and transmitting in the museum’s space with tiny sounds.
