On board, there are already sailors who have lost their minds and fallen into madness because they have inadvertently looked directly at the shell of the gods. The executioners of Jiao Guancheng and his party were half-squatting on the ground, always staring at the deck ground in front of them, waiting for the teleportation array to open.

"I ...... My lord," Luther stared at the ground beneath his feet in a panic, not daring to glance at it. "Welcome to our Lord! May your wrath spread across the ocean, and may we continue to follow in your footsteps! ”

In the monstrous flames that burned on the surface of the sea, countless fluttering compound eyes suddenly blinked slightly. In the next second, several dark green arthropods rose out of nowhere, pinned to Luther's limbs, and lifted him high in the air!

"Ahh

“……”

In mid-air, the pirate captain's terrible roar was heard in mid-air, and the pirates buried their heads lower, kneeling on the deck and trembling to speak.

"Pursuit, my steps?"

An eeriely low sound with an insect-like mouthparts vibrating sounded from all sides of the sea. The sound was not any kind that could be pronounced by the anatomy of a human being, and the incessant hissing of snakes and the strange intonation of voices that did not belong to any dialect made the collective fear of even those who heard the gods speak through the mouths of other things.

The pirate captain's tall, muscular body was like a grasshopper strung on a rope at this moment, and his limbs were pierced by treacherous wrists, feet, and arthrops, and his blood slid down the ground along with his trembling body.

"Yes...... Yes, I, I am your most faithful believer, please ...... Please allow me to continue to pursue and pursue the miracles you left behind. ”

"So, that's all you want, my, believer?"

"I ...... I," Luther swallowed, his torso still trembling incessantly, "yes, I thought...... That's all. ”

The god's scarlet compound eyes turned faster in his sockets, and the fire of the sea still burned unquenched, and his huge body stood in the sea of fire, moving slightly. In the next second, Luther's trembling and frightened expression suddenly froze, and Austin, who had been kneeling on the deck with his head down, suppressed his cough twice and did not speak.

If anyone had the courage to look up at this time, they would find that the pirate captain's jawline was completely cut open by an invisible blade, and the skin peeled off inch by inch, and the scales from the flesh inside opened the meridians and grew out. His throat made an uncontrollable gurgling sound that resembled suffocation, while the middle of his nose in the back was completely dissolved and peeled off by the strong acid, replaced by two regrown gills.

The former captain of the Phantom Shark, a fanatical seeker of ignorance and freedom, has become a part of the ocean at this moment.

"You have called me just to show your loyalty to me?"

In an instant, a strange hissing sound resounded throughout the sea, and the pirates and sailors knelt and did not dare to speak, and the executioners were not the natives of the world, so it was impossible to find the unhappiness of the aboriginal gods at this juncture.

The prolonged silence made the god known as the Leviathan even more impatient, and the sea that had turned completely black suddenly swept up with the waves, and the hull made of steel was in danger under such threat. At this moment, Captain Austin coughed twice and buried his head lower, but his voice was raised.

"Please forgive us for our rudeness! But you humble believers desperately need salvation at hand! ”

Saying this, Austin suddenly raised his head despite the obstruction of Arthur beside him, and looked at Luther with a complicated expression as his limbs degraded and rolled into the waves. "We follow in your footsteps because you can give us freedom. But now, you tell us that freedom itself is ridiculous ignorance. ”

"In that case, I would like to ask you, who is as powerful as you, and now you have the freedom you want!"

……

"It's ripe."

In the corner of the staircase below deck, a man in black robes stared at the corpse in front of him and muttered to himself. Surprisingly, above the abdomen of that corpse, there was a small pure black flower. At this moment, he shook it lightly under the gaze twice, and it seemed as if he could understand human speech.

The black-robed man stretched out an old arm and gently covered the little flower.

Qiu Xuan opened her eyes from the endless darkness and found herself in the same unknown and inexplicable necromantic space as she had seen after the short knife was unsheathed that day.

The undead roared through her and swept past her as if they couldn't see her. She sat up from the floor and subconsciously looked at the small flower on her abdomen, only to see an unfamiliar arm on the skin under the hem of her clothes.

"......" Qiu Xuan raised her eyes to look at the black-robed man in silence, cleared her throat and said, "Don't you think that our current posture is a little inappropriate?" ”

"Do you know where you are now?"

The black-robed man withdrew his arm, obviously unable to see the expression on his face under the cover of the wide hood, but Qiu Xuan inexplicably felt that she must be smiling.

"In the necromantic space of the Necro Knife itself? Did I end up dying because of the plague virus? ”

Cassandro finally burst out laughing, and the staccato laughter sounded like a cough because of his age. She lifted a withered arm and took off the hood above her head, and Qiu Xuan blinked in surprise, startled by the kind face of the legendary sacrifice like an ordinary old man.

"To be precise, this is my space, and it took a little means to temporarily hand over to your undead knife space. And of course you're not dead...... No, who told you that you would die if the flower was dyed black, did you think this was the last wisteria leaf? ”

Qiu Xuan: "...... It is ivy leaves. ”

"It doesn't matter." Cassandro also sat cross-legged beside her, and the two of them were in the eerie sea of the dead, as if they were sitting together in the court and admiring the moon. "Have you noticed any difference in the last few times you've used your plague-spreading abilities?"

"I don't know if it's a psychological effect," Qiu Xuan's palm subconsciously stroked the small black flower on her abdomen, "Every time I swing my knife or use my ability, it is devouring my life force, but...... In addition to this shortcoming, when I think about it, it was indeed much easier when I transformed the corpse in the sea. ”

"Hmm." Cassandro nodded, and suddenly stretched out an arm out of thin air, and made a wave motion with his five fingers. In the next second, the two corpses broke through the endless undead brigade and rushed towards this side, Qiu Xuan subconsciously touched his son-mother knife, and only then did he realize that he had handed it over to Bai Hexi.

The decomposing corpse walked straight to them, and one of them lifted an arm that had broken into white bones, and out of nowhere he found a dirty glass, and bent down to pour Qiu Xuan a glass of ominous liquid.

Although she didn't want to touch the slimy cup with her hands, she was still afraid that the rotting corpse would suddenly attack, so she reluctantly took the liquid and turned back to look at Cassandro.

"As you can see, once upon a time, I was a necromancer in a desperate situation." Cassandro took another glass of liquid as usual and tilted her head to take a sip. "It's just that I'm not as lucky as you, and I'm carrying the virus that the Plague of Domination planted for you—though that's not 'good luck'. What I am capable of...... You know, it's because I have a talent for it that I did my own research. ”

"I'll admit, you've found out, ...... like ours How do you say it, 'crooked ways'? In fact, we are already taking shortcuts compared to others, and executioners of the same level are not opponents at all, and I have been smooth sailing in the early stage, which is the shortcut brought by this ability. ”

"But it's not that easy, kid. Anyone who goes down this path will be backlashed, and this is an inevitable end. ”

Qiu Xuan raised her hand and tentatively took a sip of the unpleasant colored liquid, and found that it was sweet and delicious. She was silent for a second and said, "So the reason why you chose to stay in this trial ground is because you know that you have ......?" ”

"Part of it." Cassandro sighed like a real old man, waved his hand, and said a little reluctant to answer the question, but said, "Do you know what would happen if you didn't choose to return to a desperate situation after the teleportation array at the end of the trial ground was opened?" ”

Qiu Xuan frowned.

Kasandro shook her head and continued the previous topic, and Qiu Xuan stopped asking her about her past experiences. She said, "You're lucky to be able to get that knife and open up another necromantic space. Originally, I just saw that you had the same talent as me before, so I planted you with a flower of dry bones thinking that at least you could live longer than me, but I didn't expect that the flower I planted was absorbed by another necromantic space. Can you see what I mean? ”

"You now have two necromantic spaces that you can use, one is the ability given to you by the plague before, and the other is the ability that comes with that knife. While both have a terrible backlash, you can pull off each other. It's equivalent to, fighting poison with poison? ”

She seemed to understand what Cassandro meant.

Qiu Xuan stretched out her hand and tentatively slammed it on the carrion corpse holding the cup beside her, she planted the Elpis virus on the other party and made contact with each other in her brain as usual. Suddenly, the little flower in her abdomen trembled slightly, as if she was blessed with a soul, and with a twist of her wrist, another deadly virus was transferred to the necromantic space in front of her, and it was digested and devoured by the overwhelming undead in less than a moment.

"Looks like you've got the hang of it," Cassandro smiled, "that knife isn't in your hand now, otherwise the process of transforming 'unloading' would have been much easier." Similarly, when you use the Necro Knife, you only need to convert the extra dead energy into the gap between the plague virus. ”

Qiu Xuan: "Then I'm not a perpetual motion machine?" ”

Cassandra: ?

"Then it could be that easy!" The old woman rolled her eyes unceremoniously, "This path is still a detour after all, you are lucky to be able to save your life for a while, do you think that the poison of the two will not cause you damage in the endless reuse?" This is also the best way I can think of for the time being, and you have to figure out how to go in the future. ”

"By the way, the Flower of Dry Bones I planted has completed its guiding effect, and now return it to me."

Qiu Xuan blinked, "Why is it still back?" ”

Without hesitation, Cassandro reached over and uprooted the small black flowers that had grown from her belly.

Qiu Xuan: "......"

Qiu Xuan: "Is this really how you did it?" ”

She repeatedly made sure that there were no extra blood holes in her stomach, and that no internal organs had been pulled out with her, and looked at Cassandro who had straightened out her collar and stood up. "Are you leaving, how's it going out now?"

"See for yourself, now that I have handed over the connection to the necromantic space, you can come out at any time."

Kasandro waved his hand at her without looking back, and walked towards the center of the gathering of rotting corpses. Qiu Xuan looked at her departing figure and suddenly shouted, "Thank you!" ”

"Live well, at least...... Live longer than I am. Cassandro's last voice was muffled in the dry bones of the dead in the sky, and for a moment it was a little inaudible, Qiu Xuan lowered her eyelids, remembered something, and looked up at the dead sky.

……

"Powerful as you, now you have the freedom you want!"

There was a dead silence on deck, and almost all of the sailors who were traveling with them were so frightened by their captain's rebellious remarks that they were fainting. The executioners with their heads bowed cursed Captain Austin, who had suddenly gone mad, and their minds were already thinking about how to get out of this world when the gods were angry.

Surprisingly, however, the deity named Leviathan said nothing. He just rolled his strange scarlet eyes to look at the kneeling figure, and there was a bit of inexplicability in his words.

"Why do I need to be free? In this world, all kinds of concepts, including freedom, are ignorant. And all the source of ignorance ultimately comes down to me. ”

Austen clenched his fists and stared at the black sea where Luther had jumped, and was silent for a long time.

Why hasn't this damn portal yet appeared? One by one, the executioners have begun to curse in their hearts under the coercion of the original gods, and although it seems that they are at least willing to talk to you humans now, no one can guarantee that he will not suddenly be moody and kill as he pleases in the next second. After all, the name Leviathan has never symbolized a well-meaning god, but a true evil god who can't even resist.

Suddenly, on the deck, where dead silence had been restored, another voice rang out.

"Welcome to our Lord! Your followers dare to plead and open the door to reincarnation and end the beginning and end of the chapter! ”

The final portal was actually opened by the Leviathan?! The executioners were taken aback, and secretly covered half of their eyes to look at the shouting man, who was wrapped in a black robe all over his body. Only the executioner who had been on the ship early recognized that it was the mysterious mad woman sacrifice.

Cassandra.
