Chapter 87: The Queen’s Inheritance (XXVI)

{cw: gore}

“Run!” With a loud thunder from the little Queen, Aya struggled to get up from the ground, clutching her painful abdomen, and stumbled forward.

Less than 100 meters ahead was the huge Flame rift. Under this rift, there was the Flame of the Underground Ant City, and their last hope.

Aya did not dare to look back. She did not dare to look at the black mire spreading and raging behind her, and the endless demons born in that mire. She did not dare to look at the little Queen who fought with the women. She did not even dare to think about Qi Leren who was involved in the ominous scarlet “enchantment"—the object suspended in mid-air like a red sphere, it looked like it could only accommodate several people, but there were countless beasts under its bloody light…

Hurry up, run a little faster. Aya, who was running, already felt that her heart was about to explode, and every breath of air sucked in couldn’t sustain her running, but she was afraid to slow down, and she was too afraid of being too late.

It was just like that day when she chased the portrait from the Canon in the boundless desert. Under the scorching sun, she had desperately put everything into running faster, but even then, she hadn’t run fast enough. But the demons in the mud didn’t catch up with her now—this was not the speed that a human should have!

Aya knew nothing about how she was breaking through her limit. She ran towards the rift valley in front of her through the blood and corpses on the ground.

The woman with blood and tears in the mud looked at the girl who was about to arrive at the rift, and waved her arm in no hurry. The original rift was suddenly pulled away, but Aya continued to run, unaware of the immediate changes.

"Is this your so-called ‘method’ to cooperate with the Devil King with an unpredictable heart?” the little Queen said, holding the sword and holding back her anger.

“So what? Either way, on the day when things are solved, you, I, and the entire Underground Ant City will no longer exist… After I die, how can there be a great flood? ” The woman sneered, “It should have ended long ago. Watch and witness our end, and end with me.”

&&&

Qi Leren was lying on the bloody muddy ground, with severe pain all over his body.

He was slow in thinking and vague in consciousness. The fierce battle just now had exhausted his strength and all his cards. He could kill several enemies with S/L and guns and ammunition, but in the face of endless monsters, his thin strength couldn’t compete after all.

So he fell here and was knocked down by this group of crazy walking dead. They devoured his body greedily. At first, he still felt pain, screamed and struggled, but in the end, he was numb. His arm was bitten off, his abdominal cavity was torn by claws, and his internal organs were dragged out… Death had come before his eyes in a harsh chewing sound, and Qi Leren clearly knew that he was going to die.

At present in a bright red sky, the thick clouds were raining—scarlet, like blood. The rain hit his face, and he seemed to be soaked in a pool of blood. The liquid filled his nose, which made him suffocate.

This was not a quiet death, it was noisy like a war. Qi Leren constantly heard someone talking in his ear, accompanied by the sound of beasts chewing, but no matter how he concentrated on listening, the sound was as far away as the horizon, which made him unable to hear clearly.

He finally got tired, gave up, stared at the scarlet sky and waited for death.

Just like at the beginning when he was placed in a tree tomb, sleeping quietly in the gentle wind.

But who looked at him with sad eyes, raised his hand, and put a grass ring on him.

Who was it?

It was…

Ning Zhou.

Qi Leren suddenly took a deep breath, but his ripped lung couldn’t handle this basic action. He didn’t get oxygen, but only got heartbreaking pain.

His chaotic brain suddenly woke up, and Qi Leren asked himself desperately, how could he die?

What would Ning Zhou look like if he died?

They had a hard time reuniting in Purgatory. Even if the future was uncertain and things had changed, they still saw something in each other that had once attracted them—an unchanging soul.

But if the body was dead and the soul had no place to rest, the ring would not be given, the wedding would not be held, and the bright future would be shared. Everything would cease to exist.

Maybe, even Ning Zhou wouldn’t exist.

For a saint destined to destroy the world, every minute he lived in this world was suffering. He was restrained, patient and persistent, but only because there was another person in the world who he couldn’t give up. He wanted to accompany him, guard him, and spend the rest of his life with him. This desire kept him wandering on the border of hell, fighting with instinct painfully, even if it was a battle that was destined to be lost, all he could do was try his best to make himself lose later.

So he couldn’t die, for Ning Zhou and for their future, he couldn’t die here! No matter what!

Tears of anger and unwillingness poured out from the corner of his eye, and he glared at the sky with wide eyes. A flame that could not be extinguished by death was burning in his heart, and it burned into his soul, so that he never dared to close his eyes again.

In a flash, a touch of pure blue bloomed in his eyes—in the red sky with bloody rain, a blue gap was opened. The trace of blue spread rapidly, like an angel unfurling, spreading his pure wings in hell.

The monsters that had gathered around Qi Leren rushing to grab food were suddenly lifted up by a huge force. When they fell heavily on the ground and struggled to pounce on their prey again, they suddenly found that a force was advancing towards them.

It is inexorably advancing!

Wrapped in a layer of expanding transparent membrane, Qi Leren watched in a daze as it turned into a blue sky.

The blood rain stopped, the killing stopped, even the pain in his whole body, with his torn heart and broken lung, also stopped.

He suddenly thought he had returned to the Garden of the Holy Tomb, because the air around him, which was originally full of the smell of blood, had been replaced by the natural fragrance of flowers and trees, and the soil under him, which was full of blood, had become grass and flowers. His mood was calm and even detached as never before. When he closed his eyes, he suddenly felt that he had already flown into the sky…

No, he really had flown into the sky!

Qi Leren opened his eyes again, and was horrified to find that he had already flown, but when he “looked down”, he could still see another himself—lying in the tree tomb in the Garden of the Holy Tomb, his scarred body was constantly recovering. The bloody internal organs in the torn abdominal cavity grew back quickly, and the bitten limbs grew like budding plants, and he quietly closed his eyes and slept in the tree tomb.

Qi Leren continued to “look” forward, and the world in front of him had become indescribable. In the Bloody Wilderness with bloody rain and wandering monsters, there was a small world with green grass and a blue sky. This small world spread wildly in this red and black world, tearing away the killing and bloodshed, and constructing a pure land.

Outside the pure land, the Bloody Wilderness fluctuated violently like a broken water surface. Ashley, who was suspended in the air, gave him a complicated look. He waved his arm and tore open a crack, trying to escape from it.

But before he could tear the space apart, the vigorous force of rebirth broke out from the blue sky and green water, and immediately pushed in all directions. Everywhere, the Bloody Wilderness turned into pure fertile soil, and the crazy monsters walking in the wilderness were purified one by one. Almost in a flash, the endless blood rain disappeared, and the clouds opened, revealing the blue sky.

The world had turned into a green field, and the body of Qi Leren was still sleeping in the center of the world, in a cemetery garden full of white wild roses.

I can’t move anymore. Ashley realized this, and he was stuck here.

This was the power of a half-field. Once trapped in the half-field, all creatures below a half-field level could hardly escape. The Devil of Slaughter’s avatar could only produce a projection of his field, and naturally couldn’t confront a real half-field.

“…I didn’t expect that you would break through to a half-field at this time.” Ashley’s tone was full of surprise and a little bit of imperceptible fear.

Qi Leren also looked at him. A few minutes ago, the strength he borrowed from the Prophet had expired. He had fallen from the sky to the ground and was killed by countless monsters. But just before he died, he returned to the sky again. This time he used his own strength.

Although he still felt that the force filling his body was unfamiliar, it was so vibrant that he could display this vigorous force if he moved his mind.

“Life is always full of such accidents,” Qi Leren said and even smiled. “It’s getting late, go ahead.”

A sound like broken glass smashing on the floor burst in the ears of two people. Qi Leren’s half-field finally broke through the projection of the Lord of Slaughter’s field and smashed it completely!

At the moment when the projection of “Bloody Wilderness” shattered, Qi Leren’s consciousness returned to his body. He sat up from the tree tomb and couldn’t bother to deal with Ashley. He said casually, “You just stay in my half-field for a while.”

There were still many secrets in Ashley’s body, and there was also a task for Qi Leren, which required him to completely destroy the Devil of Slaughter. Right now there was no time to fight with Ashley, and Qi Leren was ready to solve the imminent problem of the Dragon Ant Queen first. As for Ashley… He had been trapped in the half-field by him, and he would be cleaned up later.

So Qi Leren’s mind moved and returned to the violently shaking, near collapsing reality.

At that moment, he saw a black dragon rising from the rift valley, and the whole Underground Ant City echoed with its angry roars.
