Desolate valley.
As the purple mist pressed forward, the surface of Rosen's body suddenly flashed, revealing a layer of protective shield that looked very thin but extremely condensed.
This shield is not a spell, nor is it a soul spell, but a wall of magic rings activated by the magic rings within the divine body!
The power of the ring wall comes directly from Rosen's soul and indirectly from the rune nuclear energy battery on his back.
Because it is the power of the magic ring, it cannot be focused. The current strength is legendary 16.8, and the power is 50,000 Rosens per second.
Almost at the same time, a loud humming sound was heard.
The strange noise came from Rosen's pocket, and a ball of cold white light exploded along with the noise.
It is the freezing power of the Freezing Stone.
The witch's artifact is not so easy to deceive. There is a trap hidden in the freezing stone she gave.
Rosen knew this, of course, but he didn't care.
Because he had just observed carefully and was sure that this so-called freezing stone could not trap him.
The next moment, the cold white light expanded rapidly, covering Rosen's body in an instant, and then froze everything in the area.
Rosen clearly felt that the freezing power of the artifact completely isolated him from the outside world, making it almost impossible for him to draw any strength from the environment.
But it doesn't matter, he can't be considered to be dependent on the external environment.
A silver bell-like laughter came from the purple mist.
"Haha~ Your Majesty Rosen, in the end, you still have to play a maze game with me."
Inside the icy frozen area, Rosen smiled.
He reached out without restraint, fished out the frozen stone from his pocket, tossed it up and down casually, and squeezed it hard.
"Crack~"
With a sound similar to that of glass breaking, the frozen area surrounding the area shattered instantly.
Rosen put the Frozen Stone back into his pocket again: "To be honest, this artifact is not that powerful."
In fact, it is very powerful, especially against the Void God composed of spiritual essence, it is simply a powerful weapon.
It’s a pity that Rosen is not the Void God.
Seeing that the artifact was ineffective, the witch was silent for a moment, but soon came back to her senses.
"Your Majesty Rosen, you really have some tricks up your sleeve, but this is normal. After all, you are an elemental warrior, not a void soul."
"But, you are still surrounded by my maze after all."
Rosen looked at the dark purple mist surrounding him and smiled and shook his head.
"This illusion array of yours was temporarily condensed. It is far from the one carefully arranged in the cave."
"And there's a very glaring loophole."
"Loophole? Tell me about it?"
Rosen smiled and said, "Let's make a bet. If I can crack your maze and find your true self within one minute, you will call me dad three times."
"What a ridiculous bet! I won't bet!"
"Why, you don't dare? Are you afraid of losing?"
A voice came out from the purple mist again: "What if I win? What can I get?"
"Not only will I return the Frozen Stone to you, I will also give you a Branch of Life as compensation."
"Tsk~Your Majesty, you are so generous."
"Then I'll take the bet."
Rosen took out his pocket watch, set it, and pressed the timing button: "Now, start!"
"Da da da da~~"
The second hand of the pocket watch jumped one by one, and time began to pass by second by second.
Rosen didn't move.
He stood there motionless, even closing his eyes, as if he was asleep.
“Da da da da~~Da da da da~~~”
In the blink of an eye, half a minute passed.
The witch couldn't help but ask, "I say, you are not going to give me a branch of life on purpose, are you?"
"This benefit that comes out of nowhere is meaningless."
"Hey, there are less than 20 seconds left."
As soon as he finished speaking, Rosen suddenly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "I found you."
The reason why they were able to find the person so quickly was firstly due to Lai Fu's analysis, secondly due to the witch's restless mouth, and thirdly due to the different maze structures of the void and the magic ring.
As he spoke, Rosen took a step forward.
The previous step was in the Dharma Ring, and the next step was directly into the void outside the ring.
The void outside the ring was still shrouded in thick purple fog, but the visibility was much higher, reaching 10 meters.
In the void, Rosen took thirty steps forward at an extremely fast speed, thirty steps to the left, and then thirty steps back. Finally, he took some small, seemingly irregular steps, like dance steps.
The reason for this is that the other party has distorted the space-time coordinates of this area, thus forming a very strange space-time maze.
The loophole is that time is too tight and the opponent only has time to strengthen the maze inside the magic ring, while the void maze is much simpler.
If Rosen entered the carefully arranged maze in the cave, he would have a lot of fun.
About six seconds later, Rosen successfully crossed the maze.
Then, he saw a blurry figure 5 meters in front of him, with countless purple runes all around him.
The figure was sitting on a huge rock in the valley, his chin supported by his hands, looking at Rosen with interest.
To be more precise, I must have been interested before, but now I should be surprised.
Rosen smiled slightly, looking at the blurry figure sitting on the stone: "Good evening, Miss Witch."
The witch stared at Rosen, who was also in the void, for a long while before she asked, "How did you get in?"
The great god can distort the magic circle and actively invite mortal legendary strongmen to enter the void.
But she didn't invite him just now, and the magic circle here didn't get distorted at all. The other party actually took the initiative to break through the ring wall and entered the void with the elemental body.
Rosen did not explain and returned to the magic ring: "No matter what, I won."
The purple mist around him quickly dissipated, and a distorted lavender light ball appeared.
This time, it was the witch who twisted the magic ring and took the initiative to invite Rosen to enter the void.
Rosen walked forward a few steps, crossed the ring wall, and entered a sea of flowers illuminated by stars.
Rosen already knew that this starry sky and this sea of flowers were all illusions of the soul and did not really exist.
Kneeling in the sea of flowers was a tall and charming woman with a strange fang mask on her face.
She deliberately added an adjective, and it seemed that she already understood what was happening.
Rosen walked to the opposite side of her and sat down cross-legged: "Miss Patnaros, you didn't come to me just to play this boring maze game, did you?"
The witch looked at Rosen's retractable inner magic ring and asked instead of answering, "Have you condensed the body of a true god?"
"I don't know if it counts, but it is indeed stronger than a mortal body."
The witch directly confirmed: "The inner magic ring is the divine body."
Rosen shrugged: "That's fine."
"Excuse me, but I want to know how this is done."
Rosen chuckled: "I won't tell you."
Then he added: "I won, it's time to fulfill the bet."
The witch was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly giggled: "Sorry, I'm going to cheat this time."
Rosen didn't care: "Okay, okay, I don't care about this bet, but the fact is, you lose and I win."
The witch muttered, "This is an unpleasant fact."
Then he asked, "What do you want to do by coming to the Everfree Forest alone this time?"
"Assassinate Druitan?"
"You guessed it right."
He admitted whatever the other party guessed, showing his sincerity without revealing his true intentions.
"Well, then Druitan is in bad luck."
The witch obviously didn't care about Druitan's fate, and she wasn't exactly here to play games with Rosen.
He straightened up and said solemnly: "I have something important to ask you for help."
"My previous move was to test your ability, but obviously, your ability far exceeded my expectations and more than met my needs."
Rosen did not comment: "I borrowed your reputation to solve a small problem, so I do owe you a favor."
The witch sneered: "Your Majesty, don't be so mercenary. I certainly won't let you work in vain."
"I don't quite believe what you said, after all, you were just being lazy. But, tell me, do you want me to help you?"
"I want to kill Gomilel!"
"What did he do to you?"
"He is the soul projection of the Soul Devourer Antoine. And I am the soul projection of the last guardian of the God Realm."
"My mission is to stop Antowanji and his projection, and find a way to destroy him completely."
This made Rosen's heart move slightly: "Can I know the deeper reason?"
The mere opposition in status is not enough to convince Rosen to help.
The witch shook her head: "I am just a projection. My real body did not tell me more information, and I personally don't think it is necessary to know more."
Rosen understood: "So, you are just a tool of the entity."
"That's right."
This was the second time Rosen encountered this situation. The last time was with the Soul Hunter Lily.
Of course, Rosen has created an independent soul for this Lily, so Lily is already free.
But the witch didn't seem to have that.
He asked directly: "So are you an independent life now?"
"Of course I am an independent life, but a void life with such powerful power as me needs a meaning for existence."
"Maybe I don't know the full story of the Abyss incident, but based on what I know about Gomiler, I'm more than happy to kill him."
Rosen understood, and now he wanted to know as much information about the abyss as possible.
I continued to ask: "Since Gaomiel is Antoine's projection, he should have a special mission, right?"
"Of course, he has a well-known nickname, the Destroyer, which explains his main mission."
"In addition, he has been trying every possible way to open the abyss, and has achieved certain results."
"Results?"
"Every once in a while, the gate to the abyss will open, releasing a large number of void demons."
"Originally, it was opened every 1,000 years, but it has gradually shortened to the current 500 years, and the demons released after opening are getting stronger and stronger."
"So, you agree to help?"
Rosen thought for a moment: "Not now, I'm not ready yet."
"You are already a true god, what else do you need to prepare?"
"There are a lot of things to prepare, and I think assassination is a method used by the weak."
The witch snorted softly: "Compared to Gomilel, I am indeed a weakling."
"But your Majesty, you are absolutely powerful against Druitan. Don't you also plan to assassinate him?"
Rosen grinned: "It's different. Your assassination is out of helplessness. My assassination is a game."
The witch had nothing to say. After a long silence, she said, "The next time the gate to the abyss opens will be in ten years."
"If there is no intervention, the scale of the Abyss Gate this time could be very large."
"If you don't want to see something horrible come out of the gate to the abyss, it's best not to open it."
"So, you have at most ten years to prepare."
"I see."
"By the way, Dritan was frightened by your beating and asked Adela for help, but Adela rejected him. So he secretly turned to Hercules, the god of war."
"The God of War is not a simple person. He is very powerful. He owns the artifact War Chessboard and has many subordinate gods with amazing combat power."
"In addition, the war golems it creates also have amazing combat power on the mortal battlefield. Please pay attention to this."
After saying this, the witch reached out to Rosen again and said, "I'm leaving. Give me back the Frozen Stone."
Rosen chuckled and said, "I want to borrow it."
"Okay, I'll lend it to you for a year."
After saying that, the witch turned into a ball of purple light and quickly flew into the sky. The scenery around Rosen also returned to normal.
"Hercules, the god of war?"
Rosen was still sitting cross-legged in the valley: "I was wondering how Druitan had forgotten the pain after his wounds healed. It turns out he secretly found a new big brother."
