Chapter Fifty-Eight: Him, Him, She, She

I, don't have time......

Looking at the whole piece of crumbling land in the distance of the Dead Realm, Beria's eyes were as firm as ever. [Full text reading]

He knew that what he had done would bring immeasurable and devastating disasters to the world, that countless lives would be lost, that their souls would wander around without rest, and that the whole world would be about to lead to eternal darkness.

Beria remembered the vicious curses of the seven immortal kings before they were destroyed by themselves......

Die?

He smiled contemptuously.

Ever since he embarked on this journey that ordinary people would never have dared to think about, he had not thought that he would be able to live long.

What is the difference between losing [her] him and dying?

Without [her] the world, he wouldn't even take a second look.

If the only way to get [her] rebirth is to destroy this world, he will destroy the whole world without hesitation!

"I don't have that free time to go to the mí vast!"

Listening to Beria's flat voice, the demon god [all-knowing prophet] Vashak closed his eyes tightly, opened the inverted triangular eye on his forehead, looked at Belia, and whispered, "I can see everyone's inner world, including you, Belial-sama, I can see your inner struggle...... Even if you fall into the endless darkness and merge with the forces of darkness, your mind, your will, will still maintain its own ...... What a splendid and beautiful soul flame, but ...... Good things are always short-lived, and I, have seen your future......"

"The future?" Belia smiled faintly and said nonchalantly, "What will my future be?"

Vashak was silent for a moment, the eyes on his forehead carefully observed Beria's heart, and whispered, "You who are proficient in astrology must have also seen your future, ...... your future."

"Heh," Beria smiled contemptuously, took a deep breath, looked up at the blood moon in the Dead Sky, and said calmly, "In seven days, I will die, right?"

Vashak was stunned for a moment, then showed a little relief on his face, and said in praise, "As far as I know, in the long history, no human being can reach your level......" As he spoke, he changed his tone and said with a little reluctance and pleading, "At first, I chose to follow you because of your strong strength, but during this time of getting along, I gradually saw your heart, although your compatriots, Humans see you as a villain, but I think you're different from those who, in all this time, you haven't once killed a single life in your personal preference, you...... What a kind person!"

"Kindness?" Belial couldn't help but laugh, turned his head to look around, and said with a sneer, "It's the kind humans in your mouth who destroyed the entire Dead Domain!"

"No!" Vashak shook his head heavily, then looked at Beria with the third eye on his forehead, and said in a deep voice, "God has given me the eye of truth so that I can see through the fog of the world...... You're a great person, you could have lived in a better way, you could have died in a better way, and your future shouldn't be like this......"

Beria glanced deeply at Vashak, then laughed at himself and said contemptuously, "The future refers to the things that will be born, which cannot be predicted or changed, even the so-called fate...... And the future you are talking about, hey, once it is seen, then the future will also change, and the so-called established destiny will also change......" As he spoke, Beria paused, turned his head to look at Vashak, and said with a light smile, "And my strength is enough to override fate!"

"No," Vashak shook his head and said solemnly, "no one can escape fate, not even you, Lord Beria!"

"Really?" Belia smiled faintly, raised his right hand and snapped his fingers, and immediately, a strange black curtain appeared beside him, which was a portal used to search through different dimensions and different planes.

"Well, then, let's wait and see," Beria said with a look of extreme conceit in his eyes, and said with a sneer, "The future I see tells me that I will die in seven days...... I want to see who can kill me! Humans, gods, or ancient wills? Ridiculous! As long as I, Beria, want to live, no one can kill me!—this is [my future]!"

Feeling the powerful shock from Beria, Vashak's eyes moved slightly, he shook his head, and muttered, "Maybe!—if this is the future you choose......"

-- A few days later, Van Doë --

More and more armies gathered to Vandor, in addition to the human army, the five surviving immortal kings also gathered a lot of undead armies one after another, ghosts, skeletons, lichs, and even powerful bone dragons, there were dozens of them......

But in the eyes of those who know the inside story, those are just cannon fodder, and there are only a few people who can really compete with Beria and are qualified to stand in front of each other.

Sos who has mastered the power of the source, Lilith the apostle of Asmontis, Lilith the apostle of Samael, and Jerry Belfort, the apostle of Mammon......

In addition, neither the once well-known Grand Magician Gerrette Keynes, nor the Grand Elder Vander, who lost his life and became a soul in order to predict Beria's whereabouts, or Professor Haud, who was once on a par with Argus, half-human, half-elemental, did not have that qualification.

Speaking of which, after the collapse of the Dead Domain, many well-known magicians in history have come to the material world one after another, and some are even great magicians from Fandel or Heliriox Academy, although they have now lost their bodies and only exist as souls, but they still add a lot of morale and vitality to the black magicians of Vandor, after all, those are the predecessors in history.

But when they learned about the enemy on their side, fear spread invisibly.

Because they simply can't imagine what kind of enemy they need to gather so many troops to deal with, knowing that the army gathered in Van Duo has reached a terrible number, even in the battle of the alliance in the Golden Age, there has never been such a powerful military force.

The other party is only nine people!

The dark magicians of Van Dou were puzzled by this.

And during these days, Soth has been by Dia's side, accompanying her to do some chores that she has not usually done, or accompanying her to go out for a walk and walk the streets.

The affairs of the Reochs Academy are temporarily presided over by the old dean and the director of Professor Manhet, which is the meaning of the Great Elder, and the Great Elder hopes that everyone will try their best to relax themselves before the war, and not be bound by the strength of Belial in their memories, especially Soth, Lilith, Allen, Scott and others who had a direct confrontation with Belial at the beginning.

It's funny, when Professor Manhet met the old dean in his soul form, that hellish expression made everyone laugh.

Professor Hodd and Abel had been to their two-man world, oh no, a three-man world, and their child, Wheat Race.

And little Lily has been living in Vandel to receive special training from the Great Elder, after all, compared to other apostles, little Lily is really too far behind, and this battle needs her strength very much.

In addition, the werewolf Uncle Connell rushed from Artac to Vando, although his power was ineffective against Beria, but it was also a combat force, and Lavia himself did not come......

Perhaps, Soth was faintly relieved, after all, he didn't handle the relationship between Lavia and Dia very well.

Ulrique had only rushed back to Van Doe overnight two days before the war, and heard that he had gone to Brownhill in the north, and was caught by the owner of a tavern for playing tunes for several days because he had no money to pay for his meal, and in the end, the tavern owner couldn't stand the inexplicable tunes of the crappy yín poet, so he beat him, and Ulrique, who originally wanted to continue north, encountered the meteor shower on the way, and the strange phenomenon of the upside-down world, so he hurried back to Van Do......

As for Lilith, there is a crack in her relationship with Dia, because in the conversation with Soth, Dia senses that something is wrong, and under questioning, Lilith is forced to say that she used the power of Asmontis to hypnotize Lavia and use her to drive a wedge between Soth and Dea.

Dia never thought that what made her very uncomfortable came from the hand of her good friend, especially the fact that Lilith wanted to kill Soth, which made Dia feel very sad and angry.

However, for Soth, he didn't have too much hatred for Lilith, although she accepted Asmantis's order to kill him for Belial's sake, but after all, she didn't hurt Lavia, nor did she hurt Dia, and, in the end, Lilith only treated Soth for the grievances of her friend, and in the past days, Sos really didn't treat Dia well.

Dia is a good woman......

"Soth, do you know where the wheat flour is?"

"I don't know, is it in the little cabinet on the top?"

"Little cabinet? No, ......"

"I'll take a look. ”

"Hmm!"

Dinner was the usual bread, dried fish, pickled rou, etc., oh, and rou soup, and Dia was very good at cooking rou soup, which made Nina, who lived in Soth's house these days, envious, although the eldest lady in the wizarding world had an outstanding talent for magic, but was not very good at cooking.

Dia is a good woman......

I have to say that her xìng character and the feeling she brings are very similar to Nina in front of Soth, although the two only walked together at first because of the familiar feeling of misunderstanding, but Dia is indeed the most suitable woman for Soth, she can do what others can't do, at least, Lavia can't......

"It turned out to be here. After searching for a long time, he found the bag of wheat flour and handed it to Dia, who watched quietly as Dia was busy in the kitchen.

It's a very good feeling......

The so-called, the feeling of home......

As if noticing Soth's burning gaze, Dia turned her head, glanced at him a little shyly, and said softly, "Okay, you go out, go talk to Eren and them, I'll be fine in a minute......"

"He?it doesn't matter!" Soth shrugged, stepped forward and put his arm around Dia's waist from behind, resting his head on her shoulder, and whispered, "Or do you not want me here?"

"Of course not......," Dia said hurriedly, and then seemed to notice Soth's narrow laughter, and said coquettishly, "Really, you like to bully me......" As she spoke, she naturally leaned back and clinged to Soth's body.

Actually, she was panicking, because she needed the comfort of Soth for the upcoming battle, and in the same way, Soth needed her comfort......

The two of them snuggled up for an unknown amount of time, until there was a tuk tuk knock at the kitchen door.

Dia subconsciously turned her head, but saw Nina smiling at them by the door, and teased, "I wonder, why haven't there been any movement for so long, no wonder ......"

At one word, Dea blushed.

"Alright, Soth, you go out first, or this meal may be ready when it will be ready," said Nina, turning to Dia, "Do you want my help?"

Seeing that Soth had reluctantly left the kitchen, the blush on Dia's face gradually eased, and she said softly, "No need, Sister Nina, you better go out and rest, I can do these things...... That's all I can do......"

Glancing at Dia deeply, Nina shook her head, lifted her cuffs slightly, walked to Dia's side, picked up the spoon and tasted the rou soup, nodded with satisfaction, and said in praise, "It's delicious!" After speaking, she sighed slightly and said in a low voice, "Still saying things like this, you know, in fact, I envy you......"

"Huh?" Dia was stunned, then seemed to notice something, and looked at Nina with some surprise.

"There's nothing you can't do...... In this world, we either need others, or are needed by others, even if it is a person's value, it is also a bond, he needs you, even if you are irreplaceable, so don't say such things anymore, because your words sometimes make me feel very harsh!"

"Sister Nina, I'm sorry......" As if she understood something, Dia looked at Nina apologetically.

"Okay, I understand, you're just not confident," said Nina, who took the apron from the side and tied it up, and said with a smile, "However, with you by my brother's side, I, as an older sister, can also feel at ease...... Okay, let's stop talking, I'll see what I can do to help......"

"This ...... Then my sister is in charge of boiling this pot of soup, right?"

"Okay, jiao give it to me!"

At night, Dia, who was lying in Soth's arms, couldn't sleep, because tomorrow, the man around her would leave to fight against the most powerful enemy in the world today, which made Dia feel extremely frightened, for fear that something would happen to her beloved man.

As if sensing Dia's trembling, Sos opened his eyes, hugged the woman in his arms tightly, looked at her sapphire-like eyes in the darkness, and whispered, "What's wrong?"

"I ...... I'm scared......" Dia couldn't help but shrink her whole body into the man's arms, in order to comfort her uneasy heart.

"Are you afraid...... seems to guess Dia's thoughts, Soth smiled slightly, and said, "Actually, I'm also scared ......"

"Huh?" Dia looked up in surprise.

I saw Soth sigh slightly, hugged Dia and muttered, "Everyone else says that the most terrible enemy is none other than myself, this was originally just an encouraging word, but I didn't expect me to be so lucky...... Beria, this guy is just me seven years later, but he is much stronger than me, all my tricks, all my magic, all my abilities, I can't use anything in front of him, I really don't want to be an enemy of such a guy......"

"But for everyone, for the sake of this world, for the sake of the many people in the world who want peace, Soth must overcome his future self!" said Dia, stretching out her white arm around Soth's neck, and whispered, "Today, Sister Nina said to me that everyone has his reason for existing, that is, being needed by others, and also the embodiment of a person's value......"

"Need?"

"Yes, maybe you were destined to be there for the whole world......"

"The whole world?" said Soth with a slight smile and teasing, "what about you?"

Looking affectionately at the beloved man beside her, Dia whispered, "Since the day you asked me out, I have lived only for you......"

"Dia......"

"You are everything in my life, Soth, so come back safely, okay? We may not be able to go to Djerbat, but we can open a small bakery in Vandor......"

"Hehe, then I have to get rid of my position first!"

"Don't worry, we will all have the day when we are old, and then we can open it again, well, we will open for six hours a day, watch the sunrise together in the morning, and watch the sunset together in the evening......" As she spoke, Dia's face showed a little sneer, and she said timidly, "Isn't it too boring?"

"How so," Soth chuckled, hugging Dia and said softly, "Isn't it very good, such a life ......?"

"So......" Biting her lip, Dia raised her head and looked at the man's strange dark gold and silver eyes, revealing an expectant look.

"Ah, I'll be back, in peace!—for the life I wanted......"

"Hmm!"

--The next day, Bliss --

Bliss, this is a small city near the Imperial Sassen, it is located on the edge of the center of the Empire, why do you say that, because it is bordered by Sassen to the west, Van Doh to the south, and Thrand to the north, you must know that Thrand is the poorest place in the Empire, because of the Empire's policy, the poor Thrand people could not get enough food, so they had to make a cameo appearance as robbers to attack the caravan on the road of Blith and Garric, which is why the Thrand people were bad and disgusted by other regions in the first place.

And when Soth and the others came to Blis, it was already a bleak scene, the whole city had been destroyed in that meteor shower, the endless flames burned the city, took people's lives, and completely destroyed the city they relied on for survival.

"It's too much...... "Allen, who has always been grinning, sighed heavily.

Indeed, the weak souls of ordinary civilians after death could not stay in this material world for a few days, and it is not difficult to guess that the souls of these innocent residents may have long since died in the undazzling sunlight, disappearing silently.

Who can understand the fear when they, as souls, notice that they are fading in the sun?

Eventually, the dark magicians of Vandor buried the corpses with grief, along with the entire city, not wanting the ensuing battle to destroy the last relics of the dead left in the world, and the entire city was bulldozed and buried deep underground.

"Hey, man, did you think that Beria guy was coming?" As he waited, Alan whispered to Soth about the question.

In fact, it's not just him, even Soth himself is a little skeptical, after all, Beria is not only a powerful black magician, he also has the attainments of the elder in astrology, even the greater, in other words, Belial can't not know that his whereabouts have been exposed, in this case, will he continue his original plan?

"Maybe!" replied Soth vaguely.

But things turned out to be completely unexpected......

About an hour later, a heavy deterrent enveloped the heavens, Belial, came, just as the Great Elder had predicted!

"There!" Soth, Lilith, Lily, Scott, Allen and others immediately captured that powerful momentum, and with that momentum, a black curtain like a portal appeared out of thin air not far in front of the army, and then, Beria appeared in front of everyone with unhurried steps.

Compared to the meeting in Sassen a few months ago, his expression seemed to be much more tired, the original silver head had turned gray, and a faint eyeshadow appeared under the sockets, it is not difficult to imagine that his soul is always suffering from the exclusion and weakness of this world and the laws of the world, and to defeat him, maybe now is the best time!

But is it really that easy?

The legions of dark magicians, who had been a little noisy, were eerily quiet the moment Belial appeared, because they were truly aware, or rather, felt trembling from the deepest part of their souls, the kind of horror that would arise when they were just swept away by the other party's eyes.

Why did the other party only have nine people, but they needed to gather a large army to deal with it, at this moment, they finally understood.

There was a brief silence on this great battlefield, no one spoke, no one made any sound, until a hearty, almost arrogant laughter, broke the oppressive silence, it was Beria's laughter, only he dared to laugh so vividly in front of countless troops, as if mocking the guys in front of him.

Beria's laughter made most of the Alliance Army show unswerving expressions, but no one dared to interrupt his laughter, because the powerful deterrent power from Belia was too huge, as if the other party was standing in front of you like that, but you needed to look up at him like a god.

This is true of the human soldiers, the same is true of the apostles, and the same is true of the immortal king!

With his own momentum alone, Beria suppressed the entire hundreds of thousands of undead and human armies here.

"I didn't expect you to really have the guts to come!" The Immortal King [Uhtred Baines Corpse King] had to be the first to speak to break the deadlock, because he noticed that the human magicians had a slight movement, although the Immortal King was only using those humans as cannon fodder, but he still didn't want those cannon fodder to lose confidence before the battle started.

"I?heh, funny," Beria, who was standing in front of countless armies, seemed to not care about those armies at all, his indifferent gaze swept over the apostles such as Soth and Lilith, shook his head contemptuously, and then fell on the immortal king, and said in a flat tone of statement, "Do I need to be afraid of you? No matter how many reptiles gather, they are still reptiles after all...... On the contrary, I admire your courage!" he said, his gaze fell on Soth again, and he said meaningfully, "I suppose that since you dare to appear in front of me, you must be prepared for death, right?"

Looking at Beria's fearless courage and not taking anyone in his eyes, Sos only felt that his momentum was short, he knew very well that Beria was not joking, he believed that Beria would be serious this time.

Seeing that Beria pointed the finger at him, it was difficult for Sos to remain silent any longer, after all, he was also one of the leaders of this alliance army, and the two had a relationship that was recognized by the world.

After a moment of silence, Soth said in a deep voice, "Beria, give up!"

"Huh?" Belia was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smirk, and said mockingly, "I thought what you wanted to say, in my dictionary, I never gave up this word! Don't you want this?" As he spoke, he took out the crystal clear Spirit Stone from his arms, and under the burning gaze of the Immortal Kings, he sneered and said, "Don't talk about justice with me, your so-called justice is not worth mentioning in my eyes, this world, from the very beginning, the law is that the weak eat the strong...... This gem belongs to me now, kill me and you can get it back and use it to restore balance to the world, but once you do, I will treat you as enemies, it's as simple as that!"

"Why?" frowning at Beria, Soth asked with some suspicion, "Why do you do this at the cost of destroying our world, Beria?!! What good is this for you? I can hear the wail of your soul, you don't have the energy to travel through space again, once this world collapses, you will die here too!"

"So what?" Beria smiled faintly, and said in a calm and unemotionally fluctuating tone, "From the beginning, I didn't expect to survive......" he said, he looked deeply at Soth, and muttered, "There are some things, how can you, who are on that side, understand?"

"You ......"

"Alright," Beria took a deep breath as he took the Spirit Stone into his arms, glanced at the army in front of him with indifferent eyes, and said in a deep voice, "What are you waiting for? Reptiles, I know you'll be waiting for me here, but I'm here anyway...... I'm standing right here, not going to run away, not going to surrender, and ...... Will win in the end!"

Beria's words were very arrogant and arrogant, but no arrogant or arrogant meaning could be heard from his tone, as if he was just expounding an established fact.

For a while, the entire battlefield showed an eerie calm, as if it was a pool of stagnant water, without the slightest wave, but everyone knew that once someone broke the deadlock, then what was coming was a battle that could determine the direction of the world and the direction of fate.

On the other hand, there are only nine people......
