Gray city area.
Although the battle was over, the entire city was still shrouded in an invisible phantom light that penetrated everything.
It was all white, and all life was blinded.
The residents in the city were in extreme fear, but they did not dare to move and could only stay where they were and wait.
Berudandi was naturally also affected, so he did not succeed in killing the two unlucky guys Beirut and Savos.
Within a radius of 100 kilometers, there are only two people who are able to move.
One of them is naturally Rosen, the creator of the illusion.
The other is the goddess of annihilation, Filiqis.
The two stood face to face on an unnamed street in Gray City, less than 3 meters apart.
"Why, you're going to break your oath?"
Phyllis did not expect Rosen to say that, and her face was filled with shock and anger.
For the true God, the oath of divinity is the most binding oath, and the higher the god's status, the stronger the binding force.
In her world, no god dares to break his oath of divinity.
But Rosen was a novice, and novices tend to act recklessly.
At the same time, she greatly underestimated her opponent, causing this incarnation to fall into a truly desperate situation.
Therefore, if the other party breaks the oath, she will have no way to counterattack.
On the other side, Rosen smiled and shook his head.
"No, Great One, I do not intend to break my oath."
"But if you had listened carefully to my oath just now, you would have noticed that although I promised to set you free, I did not say that I would set you free immediately, did I not?"
Phyllis understood instantly, and felt a surge of anger bursting out from the bottom of her heart, and her eyebrows instantly raised.
"Are you playing word games with me?!"
Rosen shrugged: "A vow is a written contract."
"Since it is a written contract, every word must be carefully chosen."
"So, I am not playing word games. I am just trying my best to gain legitimate interests for myself within the scope of the contract."
Filiqisi took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and managed to regain her indifference.
"You are right. Then what will it take for you to let me go free right now?"
This attitude made Rosen's heart move slightly.
"It seems that the Goddess of Annihilation paid a huge price to send this incarnation to this world."
Because the cost is so huge, we cherish it extra.
At the same time, one can also feel that after a significant consumption of strength, the opponent's willpower is also greatly weakened, making it difficult for him to control his emotions.
This made Rosen sense an opportunity.
He looked around and found a hotel not far from the road, so he pointed to the second floor of the hotel.
"The streets of Gray City are full of shit and urine, why don't we go to a clean place to talk?"
The Goddess of Annihilation also felt that the streets were very dirty, so she nodded in agreement.
Soon, the two moved to the VIP room on the third floor of the hotel.
Although the decoration level is very low, it is relatively clean and there is a tea room specifically for conversation.
After they sat down on thick leather chairs, Rosen took out some wine and snacks from his treasure trove of time, poured each of them a glass, and said, "To be honest, I have actually ignited the divine fire."
"I know."
The Goddess of Annihilation pulled the fur on the chair and tried her best to cover the exposed scenery on her body.
"Your ability is beyond my expectation. I thought it would take you at least a year to ignite the divine fire."
It is not uncommon in her world for a soul with less than 21 rings of strength to ignite the divine fire in advance.
But that was all because of the fire bestowed by the true God, and she was sure that no one in this world could give Rosen the fire.
In other words, he ignited the divine fire with his own ability, and mastered the source magic in a short period of time.
Although these magic arts are not very powerful, they are already incredibly fast.
This made the Goddess of Annihilation feel deeply fearful, and her premonition of her destined enemy became stronger.
Rosen vaguely sensed the other party's emotional changes, and he continued, "But the strength of my divine fire is very low. I have also tried to improve the divine fire, but I found that it is unusually difficult to improve the divine fire. If you want to increase the strength of one ring, I am afraid it will take hundreds or thousands of years of tempering."
Practice told him that the difficulty of improving the divine fire was several orders of magnitude higher than that of the source spell.
Even with Lai Fu's assistance, it would take nearly a hundred years to break through the strength of the divine fire.
This time basically cannot be shortened by using the Time Torrent spell, because the Time spell cannot work on the source material.
The Goddess of Annihilation raised her eyebrows lightly: "This is the time that must be spent. Every god has come this far."
Seeing that she was avoiding the main point, Rosen simply said, "I need knowledge related to the divine fire, the more the better."
The Goddess of Annihilation shook her head very simply: "First of all, my incarnation does not have any knowledge related to the divine fire."
"Secondly, even if I knew, I would never tell you, even if I die!"
The words were very decisive, leaving no room for bargaining.
Rosen was skeptical, but he was not the type to give up easily, so he threatened immediately.
"Great One, according to the oath, I will certainly set you free, but I can not only delay the restoration of your freedom, but also torture your soul and body during this time."
The Goddess of Annihilation leaned back in her chair and said, "As long as I can be free alive in the end, I don't care about the process."
"No matter what, you won't be able to obtain any knowledge about the divine fire from me."
In this case, Rosen has to give it a try.
As soon as he had a thought, his divine power was activated, and he tore off all the things covering Phyllis's body.
Suddenly, a true god's body appeared in the air.
This is the earthly incarnation of the Supreme God of Five Rings. Its appearance has been polished and carved over countless years, and every detail is breathtakingly perfect.
The moment he appeared, Rosen felt that the whole room seemed to be a lot brighter.
"What do you want to do?" Felicity's eyes trembled slightly.
She wanted to resist, but her strength was almost exhausted in the fierce battle just now.
She knew clearly that in her current condition, she had no chance of resisting.
This was the first time she had experienced this kind of powerlessness since she was promoted to the Five Rings Divine Power.
In her weakened state, her will was not as strong as it normally was, and her mind began to tremble uncontrollably once again.
Rosen didn't say anything. He used his divine power to drive a force field spell, suspending Philiqis in the air and binding her tightly in a large letter shape.
In order to prevent any accidents, he covered himself with a layer of defensive barrier that seemed extremely thin but was actually composed of 70 layers of royal barriers.
A barrier of this strength is even strong enough to withstand a direct blow from the full energy of 100 grams of solar essence, or to stand a hundred meters away from the explosion center of a tens of millions of ton fusion nuclear bomb and remain safe and sound.
He walked forward slowly, his fingers caressing the empty space on Filiqisi's body, and finally stopped at a certain intersection of her limbs:
"Great One, as the emperor of the Mortal Empire, I have also done in-depth research on torture."
Filiquis took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
"Rosen, what you did to me today, I will definitely pay you back tenfold one day."
Rosen was not panicking at all, because there was no point in panicking.
"Great One, we are mortal enemies. You may have been confused before, but you certainly are not now."
"So, your threats have no effect on me, because no matter what I do, you will try your best to destroy me, right?"
"That's right."
Phyllis admitted this frankly.
At the level of a true god, unless one is a god specifically condensed with lies and conspiracies, many lies are unnecessary.
The enemy is the enemy, and the ally is the ally. It is clear at a glance.
After a while, Phyllis suddenly felt that her body position had changed, and her body sensations were also very abnormal.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself back on the fur chair. Rosen appeared above him and was humiliating him violently.
She gritted her teeth in hatred, but couldn't fight back, so she could only sneer and mock.
"At a time like this, you're still wrapped in a layer of source barrier all over your body. You're such a coward!"
Rosen was not at all provoked by the words. He laughed loudly: "Great One, you are right. I am indeed a coward."
"But I want to tell you, although I do have a layer of source barrier on my body, through some techniques, I can clearly reflect everything that the barrier touches on my body."
This technique is certainly difficult, but with Lai Fu doing it for you, the overall result is almost the same as wearing a thin and insensitive umbrella.
Rosen had to admit that it felt great to conquer the enemy.
Especially since this enemy is the Supreme True God, the sense of accomplishment in my heart becomes even stronger.
Inspired by this feeling, he tortured the Supreme True God from another world more and more fiercely.
If it were a normal situation, Filiqis wouldn't care at all.
But she was in a weak state and her soul defense was thin. She could barely resist at first, but gradually she could not bear it anymore.
She didn't know how long it had been, but she finally couldn't hold it back anymore and her defenses were broken.
In an instant, the entire soul was overwhelmed by the torrent of touch.
“Ah~~~~”
Filiquis let out a shrill scream.
Rosen chuckled and said, "Great One, give me the knowledge of the divine fire, otherwise your soul will never be at peace. I will torture you over and over again until your will collapses."
"Don't even think about it!"
"Hmm~~You didn't deny the existence of the divine fire knowledge, which means you actually know it, but you just don't want to tell me, right?"
"No, I don't know. Ah~~~ Just wait, I will definitely take revenge!"
"You know you can't hide it from me. Your eyes betray you."
Normally Rosen wouldn't be able to see it, but the situation is different now. Now Filiquis is losing her mind.
"Tell me now, or I'll make you live a life worse than death!"
"No~~~No~~~You shameful devil~~~~I will definitely take revenge, definitely!"
Rosen sneered and concentrated on the torture.
After a while, Phyllis completely collapsed.
"Each god has a different essence. The knowledge I know will not improve you much."
"It's better than nothing, tell me now."
Phyllis said so.
Rosen listened carefully, and after listening to it, he felt a little disappointed.
"Sure enough, it can't be improved. I estimate it will only be less than 10%."
He could also feel that this time Phyllis was not lying, and she most likely told him everything she knew.
But Rosen was still a little unwilling.
So he continued to torture her fiercely, making Phyllis a living hell.
But at this moment, no matter how he changed his torture methods, he couldn't squeeze out more knowledge.
Seeing that if he continued to torture the other party, he would be tortured to death, Rosen had no choice but to give up.
"I will fulfill my oath and set you free."
"But not now, because once you regain your strength, I won't be able to handle your sneak attack."
Filiqis was very weak. She responded softly, "I can swear a divine oath that my incarnation will never cause you any trouble again."
That's a good idea.
Rosen smiled and said, "Why don't you swear that your real body will never cause me trouble?"
"Dream on, I'd rather die!"
Rosen was just testing the waters and immediately changed his words.
"Then swear, but swear according to my words, so that you will not find a loophole in the oath."
He would not make the same mistake that Phyllis had just made.
