Gray city suburbs.

Rosen had never heard of the last name 'Lordaniel', but he remembered the name 'Egdelyn' very well.

He was a little surprised and raised his hand to point to the sky: "Who are you?"

The woman nodded slightly: "That's right."

Rosen was skeptical.

He believed it because he really felt that the other party possessed a very powerful soul, which was obviously much stronger than Adela with 21 rings.

The reason why I don't believe it is because Agdelyn is the Queen of Pain and the person with the highest status in the abyss. It is not very reliable for her to appear alone in such a remote place.

Of course, he is in a similar situation now, but he is forced to do so.

While thinking, he folded his arms across his chest, slowly leaned back on the back of the stone chair, and looked at the black-robed girl in front of him with a scrutinizing look.

"To be honest, I don't believe it."

The girl in black robe thought for a moment, raised her hand and thrust it into the air beside her. Her palm sank into the air, and then she took out a Queen's Ring out of thin air.

She looked carefully at the exquisitely crafted time and space magic weapon.

"This plane was originally called Immortal Life. It is the birthplace of eternal civilization. Our control over the space where this plane is located has reached the extreme limit of mortals."

"As the supreme ruler of the plane, I have supreme authority over the plane space. For any illegal spells of the time and space treasure house, I have the right to explore the items stored in it."

After saying that, she handed the Queen's Ring back to Rosen: "The magic weapon is very well made. Even in our Eternal Empire, it is a rare masterpiece."

This move was powerful, but not silent. Rosen could clearly sense the whole process and could intercept it if necessary.

He reached out to take the Queen's ring, and his fingertips lightly touched the other person's fingers, and he felt a cool and smooth touch.

He secretly praised in his heart: "Hmm~ the skin is really smooth."

Of course, it was just a thought in his mind, but his face was stern.

"That's a pretty good proof, but logically speaking, there are definitely more people in the abyss who can do this than just the Queen."

While speaking, Rosen also secretly contacted Adela, who had returned to Moon City, through the newly developed time and space mental secret language to verify with her.

After a while, Adela responded quietly: "No, the Queen is in the palace. We were just talking half an hour ago."

Rosen's heart was slightly shaken, but he remained expressionless. He contacted Patnaros again to ask her for confirmation.

Patnaros replied: "I confirm that the Queen is in the palace."

"But I don't know why, I feel that the Queen's recent behavior is a little strange, and sometimes she gives people a feeling of absent-mindedness."

Rosen thought for a moment, and then secretly contacted Liv: "A woman came to me, she has a more powerful time and space power than me, and she claims to be Queen Egdelyn, but I suspect she is the incarnation of a true god from another world."

Liv immediately responded: "What does she look like?"

Rosen used the sensing spell to directly transmit the image of the black-robed girl in front of him.

After a few seconds, Liv responded, her voice revealing a hint of suppressed fear.

"She looks almost exactly like the goddess of annihilation, Felicity!"

In other words, this is most likely the incarnation of the Goddess of Annihilation.

Rosen's heart suddenly froze, but then he thought, this was not the goddess's real body after all, her strength was only 23 rings, and she definitely didn't have the absolute certainty of defeating him, otherwise she would never show up and waste time talking to him.

Thinking of this, he felt a lot more relaxed.

"Miss, I just asked my friends carefully, but the results I got are somewhat different from what you said."

A faint fluctuation appeared on the frosty face of the girl in black robe.

"Your Majesty Rosen, I didn't expect you to be so well-informed. Your power of time and space is indeed at the top of the mortal world."

"Even my incarnation is not sure of defeating you."

After saying this, a strange black light shone from the black-robed girl's eyes, giving people the feeling that they were two black holes with huge accretion disks.

Her whole body immediately revealed an incomparably powerful spiritual pressure.

The pressure was so strong, far beyond that of the Rejoicers and Blood Drinkers, that Rosen felt an inescapable feeling of suffocation.

It was like falling into the sun, with endless destructive force everywhere.

But he also knew in his heart that all this was just a mental illusion, not actual power.

Otherwise, with this power alone, the other party could dominate this plane directly. There would be no need to be cautious or show up to talk to him.

Therefore, just maintain the mentality of "let him be strong".

"It turns out that it is the great Filiqis herself."

"Greetings to you, great Obliterator."

The black-robed lady stared at Rosen with her 'black hole eyes': "Mortal Emperor, you are much braver than I thought. I admire you."

"Since you recognized me, I will tell you the truth."

"I already know that you are working with the Joyers, and I can roughly guess your plan. I also recognize your ability."

"But I would say that the Pleasure One is nothing more than the God of Whores. She is well-informed, but she can hardly help you in terms of power."

"Just the two of you are not enough to stop the invasion of the gods."

Rosen's heart moved, and he understood a little: "Great One, you want to form an alliance with us?"

"Yes, I recognize you as my allies, forming a brand new Annihilation God System in this new world."

"In the pantheon, I am the main god, and you and the Joy-seeker are my subordinate gods."

Hearing this, Rosen did not feel any joy in his heart, but instead fell into deep thought.

If we consider it purely from the perspective of benefits, this option seems to be a good one.

But ever since he decided to ignite the divine fire, Rosen has been thinking about his future path.

What kind of ideas will be used to gather the faith of ordinary people?

Should he distort his own nature and become a vine that changes with the situation? Or should he follow his own nature and grow into a towering tree for mortals to follow and worship? After thinking it over, he believed that the eternal gods were different from mortals.

Gods cannot go against their nature, because a changeable god would make mortal believers at a loss.

Naturally, there is no question of firm faith. Once a better option appears, believers will immediately abandon God.

Therefore, whether to agree to the alliance request made by the Goddess of Annihilation Philiqis or not, the most important factor is not the current interests and situation, but whether he and the Goddess of Annihilation can pee in the same pot.

If the two sides have completely contradictory ideas, the consequence of forcing an alliance will inevitably be a tragedy.

Considering that the Goddess of Annihilation is a 5-ring supreme true god, the consequences of the tragedy will most likely be borne by him and the Joy-seeker.

After figuring it out, Rosen asked, "Great One, I want to ask you a few questions."

"Excuse me."

"What do you think of the current situation in Gray City?"

"I think this place is terrible and it would be best if it were completely destroyed and a new world of order was rebuilt."

This is a good answer, which shows that the other party is a god who pursues order.

But this is far from enough.

Rosen asked again: "There are many kinds of order. What kind of order does the Great One want?"

"The order is pure and without any impurities. The guilty are punished and the merits are rewarded. The whole world is like a precision-operated gear set. Every individual can find the position that suits them best and has a predictable path for promotion."

“It just arrived at the finish line smoothly.”

This answer is not very acceptable because the other party pursues absolute order.

Rosen has served as the mortal emperor for many years, and he knows the nature of mortals very well.

It is absolutely impossible for mortals to achieve absolute order. Even the world itself is not in absolute order and is always full of various unexpected events.

The Goddess of Annihilation saw Rosen's different ideas:

"I know my pursuit is too idealistic, but the ultimate fate of the world is to be annihilated into nothingness."

“Now that the end point has been determined, the question is how to resist it smoothly.”

Rosen understood and asked, "So, arriving at the finish line smoothly is the ultimate ideal of a great person?"

"That's right."

"Tsk~"

Rosen smacked his lips and said, "Great One, this ideal is really bleak."

The Goddess of Annihilation nodded slightly: "It is indeed gray, and I don't like it very much, but this is the fate of the world, and it will not change based on the preferences of life, even the eternal gods."

Rosen shook his head: "Great One, my opinion is somewhat different from yours."

"Tell me about it."

"I believe that the emergence of life is a challenge to the cold fate."

“Even if the world’s ultimate destiny is to be annihilated into nothingness, as long as life continues to pursue a higher level, it is possible to break through this destiny.”

“Even if nothingness comes, we have the ability to recreate a new world from nothingness.”

A hint of visible expression finally appeared on the icy face of the Goddess of Annihilation, a mockery.

"Mortal, I can understand your ignorance. Because with your current vision, you certainly don't know the horror of the world's final fate."

"But when you successfully ignite the divine fire and see the ultimate future of time and space, you will agree with me."

“This is also the view of every true god in our world.”

"The end of the world is annihilation and nothingness. Because of this, I, who possess the godhood of annihilation, was able to ascend to the Supreme!"

Rosen understood the subconscious meaning of these words.

In other words, if he firmly believed that life could break through the ultimate fate of the world, it would constitute a substantial challenge to the annihilation godhood.

But he would never be willing to accept his ultimate fate, acknowledge the philosophy of the Goddess of Annihilation, and walk steadily toward the end of the world in absolute order.

Therefore, the two may be able to form a short-term alliance due to the current situation, but in the end, they will definitely be mortal enemies until the death.

The Goddess of Annihilation also sensed Rosen's hesitation, and she sighed softly.

"Sure enough, fate is fate. Even if I want to make some breakthroughs, I will still fail in the end."

Rosen raised his eyebrows: "Great One, you have actually seen the future, and in this future, we are destined to be mortal enemies, right?"

The Goddess of Annihilation nodded slightly: "Yes, in the illusion of time, my power and my status will be greatly weakened because of you."

“What a shame~ What a shame~~~~”

She shook her head repeatedly, and the frost that had loosened a little on her face completely froze.

"Mortal Emperor, this is a good place to fight."

"I admire your fighting spirit, so I'll give you a chance to strike first."

Rosen took a deep breath and said, "Nothing to discuss, Great One?"

"No room for negotiation! We must determine who is the best among us!"

Rosen's heart was slightly moved: "No matter life or death?"

"Then it depends on your ability!"
