"Young wizard, disappear from my eyes. Otherwise, I'll bury you here. Odin's voice had begun to grow dangerous. The gods' instincts told him that the human in front of him might cause him some kind of loss. So at the beginning Odin put on a gesture of unwelcomeness.

But to his embarrassment, Wade simply ignored him. He just turned his head to look at the shadow.

"I don't know how to describe that feeling. Probably, there was a voice that made me have to find you. The world needs you to save. The world is about to face a catastrophe. We're running out of time. I need you to come with me. ”

"Saving the world, for me, isn't it a little far behind. Honestly, I'm still not sure who I am? It's like everyone knows me. But I alone don't know who I am. ”

"I can tell you who you are, but you have to come with me."

"I'm sorry, he can't come with you. He signed a contract with me. He's my man. Odin interjected.

"Yes, that's right. He paid me two thousand dollars a week. But can you tell me a little bit about saving the world? I sensed that something was going to happen, but I didn't know what it was. It was as if there was some kind of gauze-like thing, clouded over my eyes, so that I could not see the truth clearly. ”

"That's because your strength is recovering. But there is no complete recovery. At such moments, you begin to awaken, and in itself it represents a lot of things. The world needs you. ”

On the other side of the world, Ying Long traveled all over the American continent in just half a day. Annihilated all items with the aura of the Old Gods. Even those descendants with weak divine blood were not spared.

Lin Xuan's eyelids jumped when he saw this scene. But in the end, he didn't stop it. The descendants of the gods, which are not common in the human world. But they are very different. After all, as descendants of gods, they are always different from ordinary people. Although it is not visible from the outside. But what is reflected in luck is conspicuous.

To put it simply, these people have a much higher chance of winning the lottery than ordinary people. It will also be stronger and healthier physically. Intelligence, reactions, thinking, and so on are much better. Basically, it can be said that it is the standard template for all kinds of all-round geniuses in reality.

This was a fantasy world, so Lin Xuan didn't dwell on whether all this was the result of their own efforts. Because no matter what, they have all received the benefits of the blood of the gods, and as a price, it is only natural that they will be sought revenge by the enemies of the gods.

This series of events has caused huge fluctuations among the people. After all, it is the top people from all walks of life who die. For a time, the already fragile social laws became even more chaotic. One more step towards the edge of the cliff. Now one foot has stepped off the cliff.

Lin Xuan had no reason to stop Ying Long's revenge. In fact, as a Chinese person, facing the last Ying Dragon between heaven and earth. Even if the whole of America is sacrificed, the ideal grandmother will keep it. It's just not that yet. At least the bit is still working on it.

On the other side, Wade's words clearly angered Odin. But Odin couldn't force Shadow. It is only possible to make a fuss about the contract between them.

"Maybe what you're saying is important. But unfortunately, Shadow and I once drank contract wine. Any idea what that means? He's my man, so I'll say one last poop and get out of the way. ”

Wade didn't understand what the mead of the giants meant in Norse mythology. However, Lin Xuan knew. It is a ritual that represents credit in the Norse god system. Theoretically, it is impossible to solve after all. But in the eyes of Lin Xuan now, it is just a high-end contract ceremony.

Contract magic is basically unbreakable in the conventional magic system. Even ordinary gods can't help it. But for a god who started with magic, it was not particularly difficult. What's more, in Lin Xuan's small world, there are still a lot of Nordic gods. Their understanding of this contract also gave Lin Xuan a great hint.

"What happens if I break the contract?" The shadow finally spoke.

"You can't break the contract, because if necessary, I will use the power of the contract to force you to follow me. But then everyone doesn't look good. So, I advise you not to force me to do that. Shadow, that's not your job. What you have to do is complete the task I gave you. Protect me and win this war. ”

"Your war is about to destroy the world? You still want to continue? ”

"You know what? As cruel as it may be, only war and pain can remind people of the gods. And the real crisis doesn't come from us, the young wizard. Only if I win this war, I will have the ability to gather all my resources to deal with the next crisis. I don't know where you got the information about the shadows. But you are not saving the world now, but destroying it. Get out of the way, I don't want to hurt you. ”

…………………………..

Lin Xuan didn't stop Ying Long from taking revenge, he just said hello and left. Wednesday's game has been played to the last minute, but there is an important actor who has not yet arrived, Laura.

After losing the help of the elf, despite the power of the gold coin, she was able to maintain her body. But as an ordinary person without the slightest training. Whether it's controlling this power, or tracking down two gods without an identity, it seems a little too high-end.

Laura's pull pulled a snatched taxi and was speeding towards a huge pillar of light in his field of vision. Because she had no identity, Laura was delayed too much time when crossing the border. It took a lot of effort to pass through the border. But already behind the shadow of them by a lot.

The only good news is that the shadows have spent a lot of time in the City of the Gods. This allowed Laura to close the distance between them. But at this time, Laura, who was galloping, suddenly braked sharply and stopped on the side of the road. For in the middle of the highway there was a man who stopped her. Laura opened the car door with some impatience and stepped out of the car.

"I remember you, you were the one who took the goblin. What do you want? ”

"You are a woman who is not willing to be lonely, and the shadow has made that sacrifice for you. But you betrayed him. Have you ever regretted it? Lin Xuan ignored the question, and just asked his own question. And the question clearly stung Laura. If it weren't for the fact that her body was dead, it is estimated that she would be flushed by now.

"It's none of your business, get out of the way."

"Answer my question, Laura. Do you regret it? Do you regret doing something like that, dying that way? ”

"I told you to get out of the way." Laura was a little angry. She rushed up and swung her fist to hit Lin Xuan. But as soon as his body moved, he fell to the ground in pain. A pain that penetrated deep into her soul made her convulse.

"It's weird, you're dead, you've lost all your senses. But I can still feel the pain. Soul pain. ”

"What did you do to me?" Laura said with a twitch.

"Do you regret it? This is the last chance. Lin Xuan ignored Laura's screams. Just intently asking your own questions.

"I regret every second of everything. I hate myself, I hate that loneliness. Five years is a lot longer than I thought. I'm just so lonely. I died, and crawled out of the grave, and I just wanted to say sorry to the shadow. I still love him, but I'm not qualified to continue to love him. I just wanted to say goodbye to him. ”

"What are you willing to give for this farewell?"

"I wanted to give everything, but I had nothing." As Lin Xuan lifted the spell, Laura finally barely stood up. But there was already some fear between the words. She had already realized that Lin Xuan was completely different from the strange things she had seen before. His power is more intuitive and more self-restrained.

"No, you have one last thing of value left, your soul."

"My soul has been predestined by death."

"Anubis? Trust me, he won't come to bother us. ”

“…… Well, what exactly are you trying to say? What is the role of my soul? ”

"I know you can see the shadow, he's not far ahead. But now he's in a bit of trouble. To put it simply, he was deceived. I signed a contract, and now I can't help myself. But now you have a chance to be able to help him. But the price is your soul, so, tell me about your decision. ”

"I'm willing, no matter what I give, as long as I can help him, I'm willing. What do I need to do? ”

"It's simple. That's all it takes......"

………………………

Wade could feel Odin's oppressive force. He found himself powerless, and was about to get out of the way when he heard the roar of a car. A taxi, on a rampage, rushed into the ruins of the ancient city.

The door was violently knocked off, and a somewhat emaciated figure stepped out of it. Laura stepped out of it and stopped in front of Shadow and Odin.

"Hi, dog."

"......" the shadow looked at Laura and froze on the spot.

"What the hell is going on. I buried you with my own hands, Laura. Why are you here? ”

"Maybe you didn't bury it deep enough. Or, I miss you so much. I crawled out of my grave. In order to see you, and at the same time to deal with some personal matters. As soon as these words came out, Odin's face changed slightly.

"Have you ever thought that maybe I didn't want to see you, Laura? I know what you did, I know how you died. I don't understand why you dare to appear in front of my eyes. By this time, the shadow had come to its senses. The damage that Laura had done to him also came to his heart at the same time.

"I'm not here to ask for your forgiveness, Shadow. I just want to see you again and say I'm sorry, that's all. I know that 10,000 words of sorry will not make up for the damage I have caused you. But for the sake of me already dead......"

"If you're dead, who is standing in front of me now?"

"Simply put, I'm just a corpse now. There's also a story where I was resurrected by a magical gold coin. Then I got some news from a strange guy. Let's say you're in trouble, and then I'm rushing. ”

"I'm not in trouble, Laura. You can go, right away. ”

"Honestly, I can't tell right now if you really didn't want to see me or if you let me go to protect me. But I actually have a little personal matter to deal with. About the cause of my death. ”

"You died in a car accident, Laura. What are you talking about? ”

"Car accidents? Maybe. But as far as I know, there seems to be some other force involved. Have you ever wondered about the shadow and why you met him, Wednesday. And after that, you lose everything. This old guy is just right in front of you. So you have no reason to reject his offer. ”

"I've thought about that, but I haven't thought about you as deeply. Is there anything you would like to say about Laura's death on Wednesday? Shadow asked, turning back to Wednesday. He was beginning to understand the meaning of Laura's words.

"All I can say is that I don't know anything. Shadow, it's a corpse that has come back from the dead, it doesn't even have to be your Laura. Be sober and don't be fooled by it. ”

"Shadow, you know I'm still me. You know? I had a chance to be resurrected. The goddess of spring, she once saw my condition. But she told me that she couldn't resurrect me. Because I was killed by a god. ”

As soon as the words fell, the shadow punched Wednesday directly in the face.

"You killed Laura. In order for me to have nothing, in order for me to sign that pact with you. You bastard. ”

The shadow's punch didn't seem to have had much of an impact on Wednesday. He twisted his head and turned his head. There was a dangerous glint in his eyes.

"Honestly, your fists aren't strong enough right now. Real regrets, shadows. I had high expectations for you. But now it seems, you're just a mortal. Indulge in these trivial feelings. It's time for me to walk you through it personally. ”

The shadow only felt as if something had been triggered in him. His body, his mind, and his soul were rapidly distorted by some strange force.

"Reject him, Shadow. By speaking out, you refuse to fulfill the contract. Believe me, you can, refuse him. Laura loudly reminds Shadow to refuse the contract.

"Hehe, you can try, maybe you said the rejection of the contract. Can you really refuse? "Wednesday is in the driver's seat, and apparently doesn't think Shadow can refuse contract magic.

The shadow only felt that his own self-will was gradually being suppressed. Not completely erased, in fact, he still has full consciousness. But I can't affect my body anymore. In his perspective, it was as if he was locked in a pitch-black basement, leaving only a narrow hole at the top, barely able to see the outside world. And the void is still shrinking rapidly, until it is completely closed. The endless darkness completely drowned out the shadows.

However, just as the last ray of light was about to fade, the shadow uttered the phrase "I refuse." ”
