Chapter 61: A Divergence of Fate

The worst is ......

Beria actually took it upon himself to stop Soth's actions, which made the hearts of the Immortal Kings skip a beat, and although they had expected it, they still felt a panic when it really happened. [Full text reading]

However, there was nothing they could do, not to mention that they simply could not break through the powerful offensive of the ancient Savos warriors, and even if they could, what qualifications did they have to stand in front of Beria?

After the collapse of the Dead Domain, the Immortal Kings had lost their proud ability to live forever, and Belial could kill them in an instant if he wanted to.

With a snort, Soth's figure disappeared in an instant, and then appeared about ten yards away from Beria, looking at the other party vigilantly, to the Immortal King's surprise, Beria didn't seem to have any intention of making a move on Soth immediately, he just glanced at his right hand in a slight stunned manner, and then at Soth not far away.

"You've mastered the source power...... Belial said with a chuckle, his tone as kind as if he were a friend.

"Yes, because this is the only way to be qualified to stand in front of you!" Soth nodded, without any intention of concealing it, because such concealment was not necessary at all.

"Hehe, yes," Beria smiled faintly, withdrew his right hand, looked at Soth, who had been on guard, and said in a somewhat mocking tone, "subconsciously chose to keep your distance from me...... Are you so afraid of me?Or is this distance enough to calm your weak heart for a moment?" He shook his head and said contemptuously, "What a fool, what is this distance to me?" As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared in place.

Beria's disappearance made Soth's heart flutter for a while, and suddenly, as if he felt something, he jumped forward suddenly, and subconsciously turned around, and sure enough, he saw that he was standing where he had been standing, and Beria was standing there, showing a mocking expression.

Damn......

Even if he also mastered the source power, the reaction of his consciousness was still half a beat slower than this guy......

Soth couldn't help frowning, secretly urging the magic to prevent Beria from suddenly attacking.

But to his surprise, Belial didn't seem to have the intention of making a move immediately, only to see him half-sideways, and his complicated gaze fell on Nina, who was fighting with the first demon god and the tyrant Baal who dominated the thunder in the distance, and sighed and said, "The town of Set is a beautiful and peaceful village......

"Hmm?" Looking at the look of memory in Beria's eyes, Sos was stunned, and couldn't help but relax his vigilance a little, and echoed, "Yes, the people there are very kind......

"The proprietress of the bakery ......"

"Ah, Nina was helping out in that bakery at that time, and every day, the proprietress of the bakery would give us the leftover bread for dinner, and she was a good person worthy of respect!"

"Hehe," Beria nodded with a faint smile on his indifferent face, "yes, for us orphans, the bread is so delicious and delicious, although it has been cooled......

"And the fat old man in the tavern, although he looks stern on the outside, he is also a very nice person......"

"Well," Beria nodded in agreement, and whispered, "I remember back then, I worked in his shop for a while, and I drank my first glass ......of ale in that somewhat shabby tavern," he said, pausing and looking at Soth, "did you know there was a lake behind the town?"

"Of course, I used to go to that little lake and ...... by the lake."

"Sleep, right?"

Soth was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Yes, because it's very quiet, there's no noise, I like that environment, but I can't stay too long at a time, otherwise ......"

"Otherwise, she would be angry......" Beria sighed faintly, "I thought I could keep it like this, alas, it's really a pity, what is said there is also our hometown, but it was destroyed by the orcs, and it was hard to avoid the disaster, but they were troubled by food, just two children who didn't know anything, and they came to Van Duo ...... by mistake."

"Hmm?" Soth's face showed a little surprise, interrupting Beria's words and saying in surprise, "Wait, you say...... Two little kids?

"What?" Beria looked at Soth quizzically.

"Isn't it a person?"

"What are you talking about?" Beria asked, surprised.

That's not right......

Soth seemed to feel that something was not right, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively, "There is a church in the town of Seth......

Seemingly not understanding the meaning of Soth's question, Beria said lightly, "I remember that the priest there was a silent and stubborn old man, who went to the vegetable garden behind the church to steal a few vegetables but the old guy caught him, and Rory said a lot of ......"

Sos opened his mouth in surprise, what Beria said, he had indeed experienced, but, listening to Beria's tone, he didn't seem to have had much contact with the old priest of that church, that is, old Charles......

Looking at the confusion in Beria's eyes, Soth frowned and said in a low voice, "That's old Charles, who was once one of the twelve cardinals of Salonia, who came there to atone for his sins...... Nina and I used to live there......"

"Stay in that chapel?" Beria asked, confused.

Immediately, both of them fell silent, and they had a vague feeling that their experiences seemed to have diverged from that moment on.

"Two children who don't know anything came to Vandor by mistake, it's really a very difficult journey, no money, no food......"

"Didn't you pass through that farm? Old Roy's farm......"

Glancing deeply at Soth, Beria shook his head.

Soth couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

Beria, who is not close to old Charles, naturally will not live in that church, of course, Nina will not meet the imperial royal seat magician, after the orcs attacked the small town of Sartre, nor will the old Charles sacrifice in order to stop the dark energy of Belial's rampage, let alone pass on his stigma to him and seal his painful memory......

Is this a divergence of fate? Soth couldn't help but be surprised.

And at this time, Beria was still slowly speaking.

"Van Duo is a big city, a big city that we can't understand at that time, in this city, only by becoming a magician can you be respected by others, for the sake of life, I tried to enroll in Helily Oaks Academy......"

"What about her?" Soth couldn't help but ask.

Beria shook his head and said in a somewhat painful tone, "You should know how expensive the tuition fees of this academy are, and for this huge expense, she got a job in the city of Vandor, which seems to me to be a very hard job......"

“......”

"There were many times when I wanted to give up because magic wasn't what I wanted, I just wanted a peaceful and stable life, and then she said softly, [Go and become a magician, for the future]...... After that, I went crazy to learn all kinds of magic and master all kinds of techniques, so that I could get recognized by the Royal Magic Society as soon as possible and become a royal magician, so that she would not have to work so hard...... Then, I did, and at the age of nineteen I got the pre-selection for the Grand Magician......"

Sos couldn't help but open his mouth, shocked by Beria's outstanding achievements, how shocking it was to become a great magician at the age of nineteen just by his own efforts!

The thought of sleeping in class all day during his college days made Soth feel a little embarrassed.

Suddenly, Soth seemed to think of something, and asked curiously, "Then how did you meet Ivey and Dia?"

Strangely, Beria looked puzzled and asked, "Dia, who is that?"

"It's the ...... I came across when I went to the library to make a cheat sheet to cheat," and Soth's voice stopped abruptly halfway through the sentence.

That's right, with Beria's talent and ability at that time, there was no need to cheat for the sake of the ancient history of magic, and naturally, he wouldn't have met Dia, the girl who was very similar to Nina......

As if seeing the surprise in Soth's eyes, Beria smiled faintly and said, "Ive...... She is indeed a wonderful woman, but my relationship with her is not as close as yours, and she is a competitive opponent...... The Ravia I know is the queen of Artac, and even the ignorant and wild barbarians are afraid of her, never compromising with any power, and always carrying out the justice in their hearts...... But I'm very strange why she in this world is so weak and weak......" he said, and he glanced at Soth with some inexplicable deep meaning, which made Soth feel embarrassed.

Is it because of yourself?

"And what about Alan and Scott?"

"Alan, Scott?" Belial thought for a moment and nodded, "It's not very deep, but they should all be interesting people......

Soth was stunned, and then gradually understood, at that time, Beria only had Nina in his mind, only to strengthen his strength in order to obtain the honorable title and improve Nina's living conditions, where was there any time to contact Alan and Scott, he didn't even meet Dia......

"Then, the war broke out, and a guy with a lot of hatred for the country appeared......"

"Argus?"

"Ah," Beria chuckled, nodding, "and there were a lot of powerful magicians out there, and unfortunately, as a member of the royal magicians, I had to make enemies of that guy...... At that time, I went to Vanderle for further study as a student of Heliriochs, and from a certain ancient text, I learned about the existence of the source force, the source force, even if it is the embodiment of the law, during my research, I met the great elder of Vanderle, at first he did not talk to me, but after a while...... Hehe, the Great Elder has a very bad habit, he really wants his research to be accepted, recognized, and widely disseminated by others, in the Great Elder's words, I gradually comprehended the mastery of the source power, and also mastered the knowledge of the Great Elder's space magic...... Then, I defeated Argus, with great hardship, but, it was at that time that the apostolic power within me awakened......"

“......”

"Argus was eventually brought back to Salonia for trial, and I ...... I am the hero of that war, but I am waiting to be judged like a prisoner, and the Christians of Thessalonia, those stubborn old fellows will not listen to your arguments, they think that they are the only ones in this world who are absolutely righteous, and that any dark forces are evil and must be punished......"

"Then you ......"

"I chose to accept the power of Sloth, destroyed half of Salonia, and fled that place with her......"

"You!"

"What's wrong?"

Sos was silent, he gradually understood that many of the things he had encountered, Beria had not encountered, he did not have old Charles, so he would not have been separated from Nina temporarily, nor did he have the experience of losing his memory, in the academy, in order to make Nina live a good life, he was crazy to learn magic, strengthen himself, and naturally, he would not meet Dia.

As an outstanding student in the academy, Beria did not have the opportunity to meet Professor Hodder, and of course, he did not have the relationship with Abel and Vander.

Without the relationship of Old Charles, Father Andrew would naturally not look at Beria differently, and the priests of Salonia would naturally not be kind to this apostle full of dark forces.

And so on, the initial disagreement has separated the two of them further and further.

Beria, who has always lived for one person, can the fate of the same person really be so different in different spaces?

Soth couldn't help but sigh a little.

"Understood, right?" As if seeing Soth's sighing expression, Beria said lightly, "When I lose her, I have lost the whole world......"

"So, at the cost of destroying the world, you want to resurrect her, with the Spirit Stone in your hand?" asked Soth, frowning.

"That's right!" Belial, glancing at Nina who was fighting with the First Demon God Baal in the distance, suddenly raised his right hand, and quietly used a dark force to knock a Gusavos warrior who attacked Nina from behind far away, and then in Soth's surprised gaze, he did not hide his purpose at all, and said lightly, "Everything I do is to resurrect her, my most important ......" Speaking of this, he paused, and then continued, "The most important sister, for this, I do not hesitate to travel through time and space, and for this reason, I do not hesitate to destroy the world...... ”

Glancing at Nina in the distance, and then at Beria, Sos frowned and said, "However, there is also Nina in this world......"

Beria's eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of dazedness and pain, only to shake his head heavily, and said in a low voice, "It's different, that's different, she and she are different, just like me and you are different!"

"Since it's different, why did you secretly help her just now?"

Beria was silent, smiled self-deprecatingly, and muttered, "yes, why?"

Looking at Belial's eyes with a bit of pain and confusion, Sos couldn't help but say, "Stop, Belial, even if you can resurrect her, she will not be recognized by this world like you, do you want to watch her suffer the same pain of soul weakness as you?"

"It's really ignorant!" Belia looked at Soth contemptuously and said with a sneer, "You don't know at all, you don't know anything, indeed, you are right, her soul is not accepted and recognized by the laws of the world in this world, so I ask you, what if the laws of this world collapse?"

"Huh?"

"Ignorance!" Beria said with a cold smile and contempt, "why do you think I have time to play here with you? I'm just waiting, waiting for the moment when this world will collapse, and before that, you're just my puppet for time!"

"You!" Soth couldn't help but show an angry expression, and then, as if he heard something from Beria's words, he asked strangely, "The world will collapse?"

"Ah, it will," Beria nodded without concealment, and said lightly, "The collapse of the Dead Domain has caused a crack in the balance of this world, and in the near future, this rift will continue to expand, the barriers between spaces will gradually disappear, and there will be a conflict of energy storms in various planes, and it won't be long before the entire Third World will collapse and return to the original chaos, at that time, time will stop, and our second will become the eternity of this world...... At that time, I will be able to resurrect her and make her an eternal immortal!"

"And what about you?" asked Soth in a strange tone.

Beria was silent for a moment, and said in a flat tone as if he were stating the facts, "I will die, just like you...... Moreover, not even the soul will be left, this is the price paid to become an apostle, you should thank me, at least, your soul can live in the chaos for a long time, and be able to watch me completely disappear into this world, right?"

Listening to the sadness in the other man's tone, Soth felt that he couldn't be angry with this guy at all.

"Is it worth it?"

"It's worth it, you would ask such a stupid question!" Beria smiled contemptuously, looked at Soth and said mockingly, "Look at me with less pity! I will die someday, but I willingly, from the time I set foot on this path, I have been ready to realize, but it will definitely not be today! Hmph, the fate I see, saying that I will die today, I want to see who can kill me Beria?!

"But I have to stop you!" said Soth, righteously.

"Oh?" Belial shook his head and smiled, glanced up and down at Soth, and said lightly, "It seems that you, who have mastered the source power, seem to think that you can defeat me with that power......? I have reminded you that the power of the apostles is vain and unreal, and that the apostles lose all their power at the thought of the ancient will...... If you want to control this power forever, you can only devour him, and use your will to defeat the ancient will! But you didn't do that, you were afraid, you were afraid, you were cowardly, and I, I, Belia, had the courage and courage to dare to devour and control the ancient will, and you thought you were really qualified to stand in front of me? Hey, what are you going to do to fight me?"

"You're too arrogant, Beria!" Looking at Beria in front of him, Soth suddenly understood how Lavia felt.

"Arrogance, no, this is conceit!" Belia sneered, looking at Soth proudly, "Do you think I don't know that you use astrology to predict my actions? Stupid! The reason why I don't change my destination according to your wishes is just to see what tricks you play, your so-called army is just a game of time in my eyes, including you......"

Hearing this, Soth subconsciously became vigilant.

Looking at Soth's cautious expression, Beria smiled contemptuously and said mockingly, "Don't worry, I don't have any plans to end this game immediately, let alone kill you at this time...... I'll put you last, [me] yo, it's my special care for you!"

"You ......" Soth couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Don't move, don't act rashly," Beria threatened, shaking his index finger at Soth, "if you can't help but do it, then don't blame me, that's it, as I said, help me fight this time as much as you can before the moment I waited!"

"You guy!" Sos gritted his teeth in hatred, but he didn't dare to make any moves, because he didn't doubt the truth of what Beria said.

"Hey!"

Beside the two of them, the chess puppet [King] Kane, and the [Archon of Light] Beckup, have already shown their weapons to prevent the other party from making any drastic moves.

At this time, the battle situation was in a state of stalemate.

After paying thousands of lives, the various armies of the Alliance finally established a tacit understanding, and the souls of the archmages and the dark mages of Vandor became able to communicate one after another, especially the Holy Crusade of Salonia and the two cardinals.

The coalition forces on the human side changed from the initial situation of being separated, and slowly passed the run-in period, becoming the same as the advance and retreat, the warriors acted as rou shields, and the magicians blessed them with various defensive states, and some organized intensive offensives, which once suppressed the offensive of the ancient Savos warriors.

There was only one person who didn't do anything from beginning to end, and that was Jerry Belfort, the president of the Royal Society of Magic and Magic who had been invited by Vander to deal with Belial's apostle of Greedy Mammon.

He seems to have his own calculations.

-- meanwhile, Sasson, the Flores family mansion--

Vincent Flores, the young magnate of the Sassen aristocracy and the future head of the Flores family, is lying on a piece of sand with a glass of red wine in his arms, the woman with whom he cruising every night, that is, his maid.

Looking at Vincent Flores, who thought she was the young lady Lilith, the maid's eyes showed an unbearable look, but she had to play the role of a submissive Lilith.

However, she didn't notice the pale red light that flashed in Vincent Flores' eyes looking out the window at the sky, and the sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"I guess it's going to be a good day, right, Lilith?"

"Yes...... Yes!"

"Hehehe, it's going to be pleasant, it's going to be ......"
