Chapter 490: Chapter 191: Betting on the Survival of the World_2

In the setting of a burning world, the process is akin to embers that do not immediately turn to ash, but the intervention of the King of Ash delivers a distinct ability.

...

...

Meanwhile,

In this world,

Magic Kingdom.

Inside the great library,

The Three Goddesses of Fate were shackled in golden chains, suspended in mid-air like criminals, with their tiptoes more than a meter above the ground.

Hecate sat in the center of the three, gracefully holding a cup of warm red tea, seemingly enjoying a comfortable afternoon tea.

But in reality, she had already focused all her energy on exploring fate.

"Hecate, you and Ahtal are both culprits in the destruction of the world," the Future Goddess struggled, and the golden chains around her tightened automatically, accentuating the curves of her mature body.

Fortunately, no one present cared about the alluring form displayed by the Future Goddess.

"Instead of cursing, you might as well discuss your understanding of fate," Hecate put down her teacup and met the eyes of the Future Goddess, "The sooner I understand fate, the sooner I can unlock the crevice in time."

"You are pushing the world toward its doom," the Goddess of the Past countered, kicking her pale, short legs, "To buy that bit of time, you want to sacrifice the remaining time this world has, you bastard..."

Hecate calmly stated, "I am a witch."

Suddenly, the atmosphere grew tense.

The previously furious Goddess of the Past stiffened her expression, staring at Hecate’s cold and ruthless demeanor, and suddenly realized something.

This woman did not care about the life and death of irrelevant people, paying the approaching Ragnarok as a price to create a crevice in time in order to grasp an understanding of fate. This deep-rooted coldness and ruthlessness could not be swayed by words.

"The situation is not as bad as imagined," Hecate gently shook her head, explaining to the Three Goddesses of Fate, "Now that the King of Ash is my disciple, even if I create a crevice in time, it will not bring Ragnarok immediately; there is still ample time for me to find a solution."

"But the approach of Ragnarok will turn most people to ash," the Future Goddess said, "the time you are fighting for now is time that requires the world’s majority of lives to endure."

If she could easily manipulate time, she would have used her authority to flee to the past with all gods, avoiding the arrival of Ragnarok.

However, such a thing is impossible; the more one intervenes with time itself, the faster Ragnarok arrives.

That’s why they didn’t flee to the past.

And now, Hecate’s actions were exchanging the lifespans of all living beings worldwide for her own time.

"Are you done?" Hecate’s eyes were devoid of any emotions, "Then quickly discuss your understanding of fate."

Future Goddess: "..."

This woman was completely unshaken, and now all that could be done was to quickly discuss all understanding and application of fate.

What else could be done?

"Before Ragnarok fully descends, let me reach the realm of the omnipotent," Hecate raised her hand lightly, causing the Future Goddess to fall beside her, and together in the crevice of time, they started researching fate.

In the current situation, what she could do was to stake everything on defeating the God of Omniscience. For this, she needed to quickly elevate her own strength, indifferent to exchanging the world’s time for her personal time.

Defeating the God of Omniscience before Ragnarok fully descends and then covering the old order with a brand-new order, everything might have a chance to be redeemed.

And if she couldn’t defeat the God of Omniscience before the arrival of Ragnarok, then everything would be meaningless.

Now, only one year away from Ragnarok, with her creation of the time rift, Ragnarok was only days away.

If a new order couldn’t cover the old order in a few days, the world would declare its end.

This world’s remaining time was all pressed into a must-win deathmatch.

...

...

Meanwhile.

In the high heavens.

"Ragnarok is accelerating its arrival," Xi Mu made an immediate judgment, speaking to Letixia beside him, "It won’t need seven days to fully arrive, then this world will burn to ash."

"Are you going to confront the God of Omniscience?" Letixia asked softly, just as Ahtal raised his hand to touch her cheek.

"Yes, I’m really looking forward to this battle." Xi Mu withdrew his hand and vanished from the spot, "You all follow the Goddess of Life and leave later."

"Why has Ragnarok suddenly arrived?" Jed walked over, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and said to Letixia, "Didn’t the boss say there’s still some time before Ragnarok arrives?"

"Maybe someone escaped back from the future." Letixia tried to stay calm, recalling Ahtal’s previous words, "If Ragnarok had already arrived in the future, then someone must have risked escaping to the past."

"...That means the boss lost in the future?!" Jed suddenly widened his eyes, and even someone as uneducated as her could understand this, hoping Letixia would too.

Letixia whispered softly, "It’s just a possibility."

Now she had no extra strength to change the current situation, a disaster threatening the survival of the world, something beyond her reach.

All she could do was wait for Ahtal’s battle to end.

"Don’t worry too much." A gentle female voice came, and Letixia and Jed instinctively looked towards the source, only to see an existence that seemed like the perfect embodiment of a female concept, walking slowly towards them.

The Goddess of Life.

The creator of all life in this world, whether humans, elves, dwarves, or dragons, they were all created by the Goddess of Life.

"No one has escaped back from the future." The Goddess of Life approached Letixia, raised her hand to touch the young girl’s head, "It’s just that fate has chosen to bet the world on the table, exchanging it for a chance at the greatest victory."

She so assured.

"In a new world comprised of a new order, I will resurrect all the lives lost in Ragnarok."

"That’s really a comforting statement." Jed showed a touched expression, suddenly feeling a strong reassurance. With the new life promised by the Goddess of Life, even if she was burned to ash by Ragnarok, she wouldn’t fear, as long as the Goddess of Life defeated Ragnarok, she could still be resurrected.

Wait... if Ragnarok arrives, could her soul also be burned together, and could Hell still exist?

"The Goddess of Death will collect all the departed souls," the Goddess of Life explained, "preserving all souls before the arrival of Ragnarok."

"What if someone doesn’t die before Ragnarok arrives?" Jed raised a question. This world has many powerful spells, and if someone survived until Ragnarok arrives, wouldn’t their soul be burned to extinction?

This would not even talk about resurrection from death.

"Ahtal will eliminate all life," the Goddess of Life’s gaze seemed to penetrate the spatial barrier, "He will ensure all souls are in the hands of the Goddess of Death before Ragnarok fully arrives."

Jed’s expression froze.

That equated to Ahtal bringing Doomsday, manually sending all life down to Hell, even if he successfully defeated Ragnarok.

In people’s eyes, Ahtal would also be the Doomsday.

"Isn’t that a bit too cruel?" She blurted out, then quickly clapped her hands on her face, "No, I can’t be indecisive at this time!"
