Chapter 85: The Queen’s Inheritance (XXIV)

{cw: gore}

Qi Leren, who had started “Secretly Observing”, quietly crouched behind an abandoned building waiting for the perfect opportunity.

If the Devil of Slaughter’s subordinates were mixed here, they would definitely come out to obstruct the ceremony of Utopia. At that time, he could use the [Prophet’s Heart] to summon the archangel to control and disturb the scene. Then, the little Queen would take Aya to jump into the Flame.

His plan was good, but he never imagined that this group of traitorous Virgins had already anticipated this situation, and had even separated the Lord of Slaughter’s follower with an enchantment.

Seeing that the ceremony was about to be completed, the anxious Qi Leren suddenly remembered the situation when he and Ning Zhou had investigated the cult ceremony in the Underground Ant City. At that time, [Leviathan’s Eyeball] in his hand had fallen into the lake, but had suddenly let them enter a closed half-field, which happened to be related to the Devil of Power’s pet.

Could this [Leviathan’s Eyeball] break the enchantment and half-field? The one in front of him…

With the idea of giving it a try, Qi Leren threw out the eyeball, and as he expected, the barrier’s membrane disappeared.

However, the next situation was much more complicated than he imagined. The monster that appeared killed Sophia and swallowed her, and the eyeball pendant on Sophia’s chest turned into a huge eyeball suspended above the altar, which bewitched the Virgins who were running away, and also bewitched him.

Yes, that eyeball once again made him almost lose his self-awareness.

But after all, this was not the first time he had encountered such a situation. At this critical juncture, he couldn’t wait for the opportunity, and used the [Prophet’s Heart].

Unexpectedly, at the moment when he confronted the Lord of Slaughter’s follower, the man opposite was actually…

Qi Leren looked at him in astonishment. Of course he remembered who this was.

Ashley. Mrs. Kathleen’s subordinate, the young man he met when he went undercover with the Slaughter Secret Society.

After the Slaughter Secret Society was foiled by him, the court arrested them, but Mrs. Kathleen had escaped with Ashley. After that, Qi Leren and Ning Zhou met Mrs. Kathleen again in the Underground Ant City, but Ashley was already missing…

Qi Leren never thought that he would see him here, or as a subordinate of the Lord of Slaughter. No, it should have been a puppet.

Ashley, who took off his blindfold and put on his mask, and Qi Leren, who had none of “Red’s” charm, were reunited in this world where half of them were bloody and half were in a kingdom of twilight.

Each was a stranger to the other.

It should be said that they had known each other amid lies and deception, and had never been familiar with one another. Now it was just the impermanence of the world, which made two strangers who were not familiar with each toher even more strange.

For Qi Leren, this was just a passerby whom he met by chance. Even if he remembered him, it is only because he remembered the young man’s eyes the last time.

On that day, in the storm, he had gotten the memento ring and boarded the Trial Court’s airship. He had looked back and watched the crazy believers rush towards him. Only Ashley had stared at him as the crowd had receded around him like the tide. At that time, Qi Leren had had a vague feeling that maybe one day they would meet again. He just never thought it would be like this.

But for Ashley, on the rainy night when he was chased and fled in a hurry, “Red” had fallen from the sky and saved him, which made him look up to and admire him. But when this hazy love was really revealed, he discovered that all this was just a conspiracy from beginning to end. Everything was false: his name, his temperament, his position, all false!

There was never any “Red”, he just loved a phantom that had been carefully woven.

A raging bloodthirst spread in Ashley’s chest. He stared at the archangel in the twilight, and a voice shouted in his soul: Not him, this is not him! Everything is false!

When he wasn’t around, he could deceive himself with the whitewashed memory, but when this person really stood in front of him, the bloody truth was naked and bare in front of him. The unspeakable disappointment and anger made him unable to control himself, and his anger was distorted into a cruel bloodlust. He pulled out a cold smile.

“You are not him,” he said.

The monster that had swallowed a large number of Holy Flame Virgins had climbed down the altar of corpses. The tentacles covered with sarcomas and eyeballs were like the roots of winding old trees, but they were constantly crawling and raging on the bloody land. The scarlet light of the huge eyeballs hanging above it was getting brighter and brighter, and the whole world was immersed in the red of both the blood and the sunset.

There was no time to delay. Qi Leren just hesitated for a second and decided to get rid of the foreign invasion of Utopia first.

He raised his hand, just like when he had dealt with Leviathan under the ice cliff in the Star Death Reality Show copy. He wanted to speed time to make it decay into ashes, but under the force of time, the ferocious monster was not easily killed, but swelled up in a cry like crying or howling!

That monster, like a knotted giant earthworm, swelled instantly, and bloody pieces of meat were continuously expelled from its body. The black and red rotten meat fell to the ground in large piles, turning into a bunch of disgusting reptiles. The giant monster unexpectedly came towards the two with a roar!

Ashley frowned, and with a wave of his hand holding the dagger, the surging force of slaughter formed a black tide, which set off the earth and let the sand and stones roll furiously toward the monster like hail.

The monster was hit by a stone wrapped in the force of slaughter, howling and rolling on the ground, trying to avoid more stones.

Good opportunity.

Qi Leren also borrowed the force of the Prophet once again, and stagnated the time around the monster—although the strength grade couldn’t crush it, it effectively weakened the moving speed of the monster, and made its evasive action lose its original agility.

The monster was bashed head-on by countless stones wrapped in the force of slaughter and frantically sprayed blood and gore. Reptiles all over the ground were raging in the blood of the corpse pile, and the earth was as disgusting as the devil’s intestines and stomach.

Ashley, who was madly eroded by Slaughter, looked up and looked at the eyeball hanging over his head. He laughed. “Go back to your Utopia!”

With his roar, a powerful eruption of the force of slaughter broke out in the void, which formed a thick thunder and lightning in the sky, just like the trident of the gods from the sky, piercing the eyeball straight through! Under this sudden blow, the eyeball in the sky was punctured and burst, rolling on the ground and falling apart.

Qi Leren, who was shocked by the power of the Lord of Slaughter, couldn’t think too much, and watched the monster who lost its power beneath this force roll in anguish. Of course, he couldn’t miss the chance. He raised his arm gently, and raised a wind-like force from under the earth. He lifted the raging monster gently but unstoppably, and then pushed it toward the Holy Flame behind it.

The monster growled, trying to hook the ground with its tentacles, but Ashley stepped on the ground firmly. This foot was as heavy as one thousand catties, and it stepped on a terrible crack in the solid earth—the crack spread wildly, and immediately separated the monster’s position, so that the whole rock slid into the rift and fell there together with the monster clinging to the rock.

Under the blazing Flame, another group of flaming butterflies flew out, unprecedented in grandeur and splendor, rising in the sky like a rain of red flowers, beautiful and cruel.

At that moment, the system prompt appeared in Qi Leren’s mind.

[Candidate Aya has been locked. Current position: 30 meters southeast.]

A slender figure rushed out from behind the hidden building, rushing to the rift of the Flame regardless of the situation.

It was Aya. She was ready to jump into the Flame!
