After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 392 - 145: Making Enemies with the Strongest in the World

"I didn’t win," the Witch of Death said softly, shaking her head as she observed the disappointed expressions of Ahtal and Luwei, then she added, "But I didn’t lose either."

"It’s good that you didn’t lose," Luwei exhaled, feeling the sweat soaking her back, worried that if the Witch of Death had lost to the Goddess of Death, then their group of followers would have to hide again in the long river of history.

"Is it impossible to determine a winner?" Xi Mu picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of hot tea, and pushed it in front of the Witch of Death.

Reaching the level of the Witch of Death, it had become very difficult to kill her, her existence itself had fallen into a godly paradox, just as a god cannot create a stone that he himself cannot lift.

And being the embodiment of the concept of "death," the Witch of Death could not die again, which is why the All Gods wanted to seal her, not out of mercy for her.

"A demon suddenly attacked the Goddess of Death," the Witch of Death said calmly, her voice tinged with slight displeasure, "Even without his interference, I would not have lost to the Goddess of Death."

"So you gave up the fight with the Goddess of Death?" Xi Mu nodded slightly, only to notice the Witch of Death glancing at him as if to say he was being too naive.

"I took the opportunity to severely injure the Goddess of Death," the Witch of Death gently shook her head, looking at Ahtal’s surprised gaze, "If the Goddess of Death had the chance to severely injure me, she would not have shown any mercy, we are never alone."

She was not dueling the Goddess of Death, she was fighting to take control of this world’s leadership, and even if not for herself, she had to consider her followers.

Showing mercy to an enemy is being cruel to one’s own people.

If she had lost to the Goddess of Death, not only would she be unable to seize control of the world, but Ahtal and the Church of Death would be destroyed as well.

So the moment she spotted a flaw, she did not hesitate to deal a severe blow to the Goddess of Death, without a moment’s hesitation.

"The Goddess of Death is severely injured, then the gods of the high heavens must be stepping in, right?" Xi Mu’s voice was calm, "Have the Three Goddesses of Fate and the Goddess of Life also arrived?"

"Yes," the Witch of Death replied affirmatively, "We have temporarily ceased fighting with the All Gods, until we find the demon behind this."

Xi Mu nodded, "Are you worried about someone else reaping the benefits?"

"Could that demon truly make you wary?" Luwei asked, unfamiliar with the demon who attacked the Goddess of Death, not knowing whether he was inherently powerful or had just found an opportunity due to his unique abilities.

The Witch of Death gently shook her head, her gaze falling on Ahtal: "The All Gods need time for the Goddess of Death to recover, we also need time for Ahtal to complete the ritual."

About helping Ahtal become a Demon, she always remembered it very clearly, now being able to temporarily cease fighting with the All Gods allowed her not only to find the demon lurking behind but also to assist Ahtal in completing the ritual to ascend as a Demon. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Witch of Death, you are really too good to me," Xi Mu leaned back in his chair, letting out a sigh, "What can I ever do to repay you?"

"Ahtal, you have already done enough for me," the Witch of Death shook her head gently. If it weren’t for Ahtal releasing the Creation Witch from Hell, she would surely have been besieged by the All Gods and eventually put at a disadvantage.

"If you want to complete the ritual to become a Demon," Luwei suddenly inquired, "is there anything the Church of Death needs to assist with?"

"The ritual is very simple, force the whole world to play a game with me," Xi Mu raised a finger, "The content of the game is also very simple, if they cannot defeat me, then the Witch of Death will kill all life in this world."

"Huh?" Luwei’s mouth fell open slightly, doubting her own hearing, she hadn’t expected Ahtal’s game design to be so horrific, not to mention whether Ahtal could face a world’s malice, the Witch of Death wouldn’t be cruel enough to kill all life in the world.

"Isn’t this too extreme?"

"Don’t you think it’s cool?" Xi Mu grinned, "I’ve been wanting to compete with the world’s strongest to prove that I am the most powerful existence?"

Not cool at all.

Luwei raised her hand to her forehead; if she could, she’d prefer a more cautious plan, having no desire to become the strongest existence in the world. However, considering that Ahtal was a young male, it wasn’t surprising that he’d harbor such a desire.

"Have you thought about making a detailed plan?" she asked analytically, "If you include demons and gods, there’s no way you could become the most powerful existence in this world."

"Then let’s leave the detailed plan to you, Luwei," Xi Mu said cheerily. This was the time to properly leverage the capable subordinates; he only needed to see the plan Luwei would come up with, as her abilities were surely capable of producing a relatively safe plan.

And all he wanted was to enjoy the thrill of the battle.

"But if really no one defeats you," Luwei sighed, "you wouldn’t really want the Witch of Death to kill all life, would you?"

"It would never be that extreme." Waving his hand, Xi Mu explained cheerfully, "I just want to scare them, to make them fight me with all their strength."

"Although you are strong now, you can’t possibly defeat all the world’s powerful beings, can you?" Luwei shook her head, though Ahtal was very strong now, it did not mean he could defeat everyone.
