Sometimes having no way out is not necessarily a bad thing. For example, in Broken Lake Prison, if Seath had not committed a heinous crime, and if Shilling had not pressed him step by step, Ash would not have made up his mind to escape. If he felt that he would not be thrown to death in the Blood Moon Trial, he might have retired to Broken Lake Prison wholeheartedly, chatting with Sword Lady at night and chatting with the medic during the day. Wouldn't that be more enjoyable than being out in the wind and rain with a few men?
Of course, having a way out is not necessarily a bad thing. For example, it is precisely because Liz is already the Queen of Gospel that Ash and the others are so enthusiastic about finding a way to cross the country. Even if they are thrown into a wasteland where reincarnation is not recommended, they are not too discouraged. After all, they know that as long as they can go back, wealth and glory are the basic configuration. People like Ash can even try advanced packages such as calling a horse a zebra and having the harem interfere in politics.
The meaning of retreat is to give you the qualification to say to life, "Little trumpet, I don't want to play with you."
I didn't lose, I just don't want to play with you.
But what if you have already lost?
Ash glanced at the silver lamp, then looked at Vichy who was holding the fire cat in her hand. Anger welled up in his eyes, and he was so unwilling that he almost bit his silver teeth!
He would rather not have this way out, so that he can fight the Ghost Prophet to the end without any scruples, even if they both perish. If there really is a hell, it is just the beginning of a new journey, and then Ash will not be lonely, and there will be many people to accompany him to continue making trouble.
He had never hated someone so much - Vichy destroyed everything, and the situation just now was actually the best solution. The three gods were imprisoned here in order to plug the doomsday loophole. Although many Senluo people died, more people could survive and migrate to other places.
More importantly, that was Ash's last hope, the only hope to save Igula and the others!
Just now, when Ash was being healed by the silver lamp, he had been staring at the rain of people falling from the sky. He was afraid that he would miss it, but he was also afraid that he would see it. He had actually been desperate for a long time. Igula and the others were already in the spiral of silence, so how could they be spared? But when the three gods began to plug the loopholes, Ash's heart ignited hope. Maybe it was not too late, maybe they could hold on until then...
But Vichy stole the Fire Cat for his own selfish reasons, the ceremony was forcibly interrupted, and the end of the world was inevitable.
Just now, Ash was too focused on the battle to be distracted, but now when he thought about it for a moment, he was almost overwhelmed by endless anger, grief, and self-blame. His heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by someone, as if someone was trying to squeeze out the ingredients for a regret pill from it.
It was he who suggested coming down to rescue Tamashi!
It is he who is here to stop the Silver Lantern from destroying the world!
That's why everyone was separated, and that's why he was trapped on the eighteenth floor of the Spiral of Silence, with no way to go back to save others!
If he had grabbed everyone and fled to the Thousand Wishes Heaven at the moment of the doomsday... or earlier, if he had killed Yin Deng during the Trial of the Divine Fire...
Ash unconsciously grabbed Weisser's wrist with his backhand, his veins popped out, and he directly grabbed purple bruises on the latter's white wrist. Weisser didn't say anything, but quietly let go of his hand.
Pain... maybe it was an old injury that hadn't healed, or maybe it was a new injury. The heart-wrenching pain almost tore Ash's internal organs into pieces, making him breathless. He thought that as long as he kept pretending that he didn't care, the world wouldn't really hurt him. He thought he always had a way out, and that way was death.
So what if I become the leader of a cult as soon as I travel through time? So what if I am sentenced to death in a few days? So what if I can’t go back? The world doesn’t love me, but I don’t plan to love this world either.
But he still cared. That rainy night in Yisu Palace was the first time, and now it was the second time. He really didn't like this world, but there were people in this world who liked him, so this world also liked him.
Love makes people feel like they have armor, but also like they have a soft spot.
Igula, Harvey, Tamashi, Chikara, Gwen... Ash may not care about those Senluo people he doesn't know, but he can't help but care about these companions who have shared life and death with him, not to mention that he clearly has the opportunity to save them!
Especially the Trickster and the Necromancer... Ash always felt that he was at a disadvantage, because Broken Lake Prison was the starting point of his life, and Broken Lake Prison was just a rough path that those two had walked. To them, Ash might be just an ordinary friend, not even a friend who could lend money, but to Ash, these two bastards were everything in his new life, and he experienced almost all the major events with these two guys!
Ash originally thought that he had prepared himself mentally for the separation. After all, Harvey looked like he was ready to hold a funeral for himself at any time, and even had a coffin ready. It was normal for Igula to suddenly run away without saying a word and become the uncrowned king of the underground world. In his words, if a trickster tells you before leaving, it means he wants to trick you for the last time.
The cult leader also secretly complained that he didn't have any friends with more normal values. Although being as positive as Tamashi wasn't so good, at least he shouldn't introduce little-known facts about corpses during meals, and shouldn't be so insightful and sharp-tongued.
Ash now has a strong appetite when looking at corpses, and he can't help but speak in a sarcastic tone. He feels that he is hopeless.
But this is his life, this is his friends, what can he do? Although Igula is not a good person, and Harvey has successfully destroyed his sense of smell, Ash still doesn't want to lose them... Even if they are all garbage, they are garbage that Ash can't give up.
So why would Ash want to live in humiliation? Maybe everyone is waiting for him in hell.
However……
"Let's go!" Weisser summoned a fog gate nearby and pulled him in forcefully: "You can go back and find the others if you want, but hurry up!"
"You don't want to stay here and die with someone like me, do you?" she said coldly, "Instead of spending the rest of your life with the person you love?"
At this time, Ash finally understood Tamashi's thoughts. Tamashi was so desperate for revenge, not because he really wanted to die, but because everything he had was in hell, and he just didn't want others to wait for him too long.
But unlike Tamashi, Ash hasn't lost everything. He still has a home to return to and people waiting for him.
There is no point in staying here except to take revenge on Vichy. The end of Senluo cannot be stopped and the world is about to be destroyed. Revenge is too expensive for Ash now.
Moreover, can they really deal with the ghost prophet who has a fire cat? It is better to leave first, and come back to take revenge when you become stronger, and then... and then...
Weisser watched Ash's shoulders tremble, and heard him inexplicably whisper an apology to someone: "Tamashi, I'm sorry, and thank you."
"I will leave." Ash turned to look at Weisser, letting go of her hand, his eyes burning: "If I am to die."
Weisser was stunned and almost laughed out of anger: "Do you think Weishi will just beat you to the point of near death? And you can just seize this opportunity? Are you gambling your life at this time?"
"How can we make him lose everything if we don't bet?" Ash said with a sweet mouth and a sharp knife in his heart, gritting his teeth and saying, "If I win, at least I can vent my anger. If I lose... then I will die with you."
"Mad man!" Weisser cursed inwardly, exerting force with both hands, and directly pulled him into the fog gate. Although Ash could still return to the eighteenth floor, at least he could calm down for a while -
However, Ash was pushed into the fog gate by her and did not pass through.
The two looked at the fog gate in surprise. Ash showed relief on his face, while Weisser had a complicated expression.
At this time, the surrounding fog became thicker again, and Weixi's voice sounded in the sky: "I don't think I said why the fire cat suddenly burned itself. What happened in the future that forced the fire guardian spirit to voluntarily destroy itself?"
"In the future I dreamed of, you were really amazing. Although the three gods were also performing the sealing ceremony, you did not attack them because if they were injured beyond their capacity, they would automatically interrupt the ceremony. And since they have the ability to learn, they would naturally know that they must eliminate all living things on the eighteenth floor before they can perform the sealing ceremony."
"The method you chose is to make it impossible for the three gods to block it!"
"You seem to be able to control the Four Pillars of God. Through a series of operations, 50% of the population of Senluo is in the vicinity of the Spiral of Silence. Once the Doomsday is activated, more than half of the people of Senluo will be killed."
"The blocking speed of the three gods cannot keep up with the death speed of the Senluo people!"
"So the Fire Guardian Spirit sacrificed himself and used all his power to turn the eighteenth floor into a sea of fire, temporarily plugging the Doomsday loophole! In this way, only two gods were left out of the three gods, making it much easier to deal with them."
Ash and Visser ignored Vichy's random changes to the future and only extracted the most important information. Then they looked up at the crack in the sky.
However, the scene they expected did not appear. Although the crowds had thinned out, they were still raining!
“Hahaha, look at how you look, so funny.” Weishi laughed, “Listen carefully, only if Zhi Shouhuo sacrifices herself can the eighteenth floor be completely protected, but I stopped her burning more than half of it, how could she possibly plug the loophole? However, it’s easy to use it to prevent spatial movement.”
"Before this fire that can burn for several years is extinguished, you can't escape, except for me." Wei Xi sneered, "Wait until I completely master the Zhishou Fire, and then I will slowly deal with you. Ci Qingji and Ruyuan are both in my pocket, and you two... It seems that you have had a lot of adventures. We have a lot of time to chat slowly. Believe me, when you become resentful spirits, you will become very talkative."
"Yeah?!"
Weisser's submachine gun suddenly exploded, and dozens of bullets fell to the edge of the deep pit, causing a violent wind, which instantly blew away the thick fog, revealing Weisser holding the fire cat inside! Her eyes almost turned into transparent glass beads, and it was amazing that she used the Thousand Machines Spirit to transform into the strongest reconnaissance spirit - the Perspective Spirit!
At the same time, Fang Chan appeared on her shoulder. With a cicada chirp, the power of the Golden River brought all of Weisser's attacks in the next three seconds to Weishi in this second!
Future Kill: Transform into a cicada in three seconds!
Miracle · Angry Sword!
There was no need for the magic spirit to transform his emotions. As soon as Ash made his move, he unleashed the maximum power of his angry sword. The sword light crossed a distance of dozens of meters almost instantly and kissed Vichy's neck!
But the biggest threat to Vichy is not these two magicians.
It was a cane.
The cane that stabbed Qingji!
White Dove broke through the thick fog and raised his cane to stab Vichy without any surprise. But just such an ordinary stab made Vichy freeze in place, and even actively turned his head towards the tip of the cane!
Vichy was right, the gods were indeed learning. And now they knew that they could do nothing else but kill the bug Vichy first!
