Chapter 1 Quick Guide to the God of Elements (Sixteen)
"I know you're hiding your strength"
Morpheus's mouth curled up in a playful arc.
"Stop hiding it. Show me your true strength."
I finally understood that all his actions tonight, the temptations and the confessions, were just for this moment. She set up this trap just to force me to take action.
"What do you want to do?"
"To cultivate you into a powerful God who truly loves everything"
"I don't understand"
I took a deep breath, knowing that there was no way out.
"good,"
I slowly drew out the dagger from my waist, the blade reflecting a cold light under the moonlight, "I accept your challenge."
Morpheus smiled, and in his smile there was a hint of madness, excitement, and...expectation?
"To become God, you must have power"
He raised his hand, and a ball of blazing flame ignited in his palm, illuminating his absolutely beautiful face, and also illuminating the road between us that was destined to be of no return.
In the light of the fire, Morpheus' eyes were like the stars in the night sky, beautiful but cold.
The blazing flames rolled in his hands, like a ferocious beast waiting for its chance to strike, ready to devour me at any moment. I held the dagger tightly, feeling the cold touch of the blade, but I didn't feel the slightest fear in my heart, instead, I felt an inexplicable excitement.
"Come on!"
I growled and rushed out like a cheetah, heading straight for Murphys.
Morpheus did not dodge or evade. A scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The flame in his hand instantly turned into a wall of fire, blocking me.
I was prepared. I misstepped and my body drew a strange arc in the air, barely avoiding the attack of the fire wall.
"Interesting."
There was a flash of surprise in Morpheus' eyes, and then his smile became even brighter, and the flame in his hand became more intense.
I didn't dare to be careless. I dodged the flames while looking for Morpheus' flaws. His fire control was superb, and his attack was as fierce as a storm. I could only dodge with the agile reaction of an athlete in my previous life.
"Is this the extent of your strength?"
There was a hint of mockery in Morpheus' voice, and the flames transformed into a fire dragon, rushing towards me with its fangs and claws bared.
My heart sank, knowing that I could no longer passively defend myself. I took a deep breath, concentrated all my strength on my legs, accelerated my body again, and rushed directly into the embrace of the fire dragon.
"You're crazy!"
Morpheus exclaimed, apparently not expecting me to do such a crazy thing.
However, I had no way out. The dagger in my hand flashed with a cold light, and I stabbed the dragon precisely at the vital point. That was the weakest point of the flame, and it was also my only chance of victory.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the fire dragon exploded in front of me, turning into sparks all over the sky. I was knocked back several steps by the shock wave of the explosion, and my throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"you……"
Morpheus looked at me in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.
I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth and looked at him coldly, "Do you think you can defeat me like this?"
I could tell that he wasn't using his full strength. He was testing me and stalling for time. I had a vague feeling that tonight's events were not that simple.
"What exactly do you want to do?" I asked in a deep voice.
Murphys did not answer, but just smiled slightly, with a hint of cunning, a hint of complacency, and a hint of...
"Here it comes." He suddenly whispered.
I was startled, but before I could react, I heard hurried footsteps in the distance.
"Who is it?!"
An old voice sounded, and then a figure appeared in front of us.
The person who came was an old man in a grey robe, with white hair and beard, but he looked energetic and his eyes were as sharp as a hawk.
"Old wizard!"
When Morpheus saw the person coming, a hint of joy flashed across his eyes.
"You are here indeed!"
The old wizard's eyes swept over Morpheus and me, and finally fell on the flame in Morpheus's hand. His expression suddenly changed, "What do you want to do, Morpheus?!"
"Try it. Man of destiny!" Morpheus snorted coldly, and the flame in his hand became more vigorous. "Only powerful gods are qualified to have the right to speak!"
The old wizard had a gloomy face. He turned to look at me, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, "God?"
I was about to explain when Morpheus suddenly attacked me, and the blazing flames instantly surrounded me...
"Be careful!" the old wizard cried out, but it was too late to stop it.
"Ziang," Morpheus' voice rang in my ears, "In fact, I am the elemental god of this world, but my body has been destroyed. What you see is only the remains of my soul!"
"I'm sorry, I chose you as the new god. I need to train a powerful god."
The flames devoured everything. My consciousness gradually faded, and only the last words echoed in my ears...
"Angels are devils, and devils are angels..."
The blazing flames were like a greedy beast, trying to devour me completely. But I didn't feel the burning pain I had imagined, only a cool feeling enveloped me.
I opened my eyes and the flames in his hands formed a barrier around me, but did not really hurt me.
Instead, a force was surging into my feet from the ground. Murphys was helping me and drawing strength from me.
“Why did you do this?”
"You will bring new life to the world"
Not only was the power of the ground transmitted to me, but Morpheus also gave me his own power. I felt that all the muscles and bones in my body were being reshaped.
The huge magical light illuminated the night and soon attracted unexpected guests.
A group of men in black suddenly descended from the sky. They were all agile, holding sharp blades, and exuding a fierce murderous aura. I was startled, and before I could react, I saw a man in black rushing to the old wizard and knocking him to the ground with one palm.
"Alice!"
I heard Morpheus's terrified cry, and when I turned around, I saw another man in black holding a young girl and quickly disappearing into the night. That girl was Alice...
"We can't let them escape!"
Morpheus struggled to stand up, his eyes full of anxiety and anger, "If Alice falls into their hands, the consequences will be disastrous!"
I went forward to support his weak body. Now I seemed to understand that this world was suffering from the evil god Satan. He enchanted people's hearts, confused people, and tempted humans to fight in wars.
As the elemental god of this world, Morpheus could only challenge Satan, but obviously, he could not win. Morpheus had no choice but to place his soul in humans. That day, he found that I was different from others, and wanted to teach me magic to save this world.
