After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 451 - 173: The Most Devout Believer

The flames disappeared.

Xi Mu’s body fell backward, his expression extremely weary as if his body had been emptied, until a beautiful, radiant face appeared above his line of sight.

The Goddess of Wisdom supported her knees with her hands, her purple hair cascading along her face as she observed Ahtal, whose magic power was nearly depleted.

"Do you plan to continue?"

"...let me rest for a while." Xi Mu propped himself up with one hand on the ground and sat cross-legged on the golden-like floor. His magic power was almost exhausted, preventing him from continuing the intense battle. From entering the first to the sixth level of the Twin Towers, the battles had never stopped, and now his magic power was almost out.

To continue fighting, he needed to rest.

However, at the demon level, the recovery speed of magic power was incredibly fast. Unless one continuously uses high-intensity magic and divine artifacts, even months of high-intensity combat wouldn’t affect him much.

"Finally feeling tired, huh?" The Goddess of Wisdom gently adjusted her hair by her ear then sat down beside him.

She looked at Ahtal, who began to close his eyes to recover his magic power, and asked.

"Recovering your magic power unguarded, aren’t you worried I might take the opportunity to kill you?"

"There’s no reason I would be killed by a weak woman." Xi Mu responded offhandedly, very aware of the Goddess of Wisdom’s strength, but since she had already referred to herself as a weak woman, he played along with her words.

"And how do you know I don’t have the ability to resist?"

"If you can tell me where the Destiny Witch Hecate is," the Goddess of Wisdom’s lips curled into a smile, "I can help you recover your magic power quickly, so you can face the seventh level, which is inhabited by the Witch of Death, in your best condition."

"..." Xi Mu’s face showed hesitation, and witnessing this, the Goddess of Wisdom blinked, surprised that this man could actually be tempted by the prospect of recovery.

"You might not believe me," Xi Mu turned to the Goddess of Wisdom, sitting beside him, and said seriously:

"Teacher Hecate is with the Three Goddesses of Fate."

The atmosphere tensed.

The smile on the Goddess of Wisdom’s face froze, her slender hand involuntarily clenched, feeling a sudden urge to hit someone. This man... was truly aggravating.

"Don’t look so angry." Xi Mu revealed a pleased smile; he wanted to see this exact expression—it was utterly delightful.

"Didn’t I just tell you where the teacher is?"

"Let’s phrase it differently." The Goddess of Wisdom looked at the joyfully smiling man with a disdainful gaze, "Where are the Three Goddesses of Fate and Hecate?"

"You might not believe me." Xi Mu exhaled, then revealed a pleased smile, "They are staying in a place I don’t know."

"When you leave the realm of omniscience." The Goddess of Wisdom gritted her teeth, glaring at the man with the malicious smile, "Let’s have a fight." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"That probably won’t happen." Xi Mu answered, "By the time the Creation Witch arrives, you will be turned into a piece of flesh without self-awareness."

He informed her so.

"You still have time to escape now. The laws set by the God of Omniscience that forbid harming each other have no binding force on the Creation Witch."

"Why would you tell me this information?" The Goddess of Wisdom asked, puzzled, believing Ahtal’s words.

"Since you wanted a duel, it would be a pity for you to die here." Xi Mu replied honestly, "Next time, I will be the one to kill you."

The Goddess of Wisdom fell silent, then gracefully stood up and walked towards a nearby exit. Just before her figure vanished, she left a warning.

"The seventh layer is not just filled with imitations of the Witch of Death dolls; there are also many troublesome fellows. If I were you, I’d wait for the Creation Witch to arrive."

"..." Xi Mu did not respond; of course, he couldn’t wait for the Creation Witch to arrive, or else he would have no chance to solo the seventh layer.

However, he wasn’t too anxious, as the Creation Witch should still be harassed by the high heavens’ All Gods and was absolutely unable to come immediately.

...

...

Meanwhile.

In another place.

"The Creation Witch deserves to die!" A demon squatted on a collapsed skyscraper, holding two daggers as he observed the moving, bizarre pieces of flesh in the city.

His voice carried an uncontrollable anger.

"It would be better to be killed by the Witch of Death!"

"As long as you don’t die, there’s a chance for salvation." A male god bearing a large sword descended from the sky, landing beside the demon.

In the areas the Creation Witch passed through, many deities were turned into bizarre pieces of flesh, and those pieces harbored great malice towards their own kind. Upon detecting a deity, they would attack until they consumed their kind.

Meaning, unless one had the ability to resist the influence of the Creation Witch, one would inevitably be forced to transform into a monster hostile toward the gods.

"The assumption is that we can deal with those two troublesome witches." The demon gritted his teeth, while the god beside him fell silent upon hearing it.

The current situation wasn’t good; the Goddess of Death was sealed between life and death, unlikely to return anytime soon.

And the Goddess of Life had been attacked with a blade and was still combating the highly dangerous Witch of Death, all while guarding against a potential sneak attack by the extraterritorial demon.

"The situation isn’t as bad as you think." The god bearing a large sword shook his head, patted the demon’s shoulder, "Let’s go confront the Monster Witch."

"Hmm." The demon cast a deep glance at the writhing pieces of flesh in the city, then vanished from the spot in a flash.
