271 The Limits of Mortals

……

Confronted with the amazing Suriel.

Matthew was silent for a long time before slowly shaking his head:

"I'm sorry."

"I don't want to."

Despite being Margaret, Matthew was a little unacceptable.

It's not that he's rejecting childbearing per se.

After all, having lived in the continent of Eindor for many years, under the impact of all kinds of jaw-dropping phenomena, Matthew has become accustomed to many things.

He himself has also become more adaptable to the relevant elements subtly.

Mage.

It seems to be more orthodox to play a little bit.

But as a divine mage, Surrell has at least 1,000 ways to resurrect Margaret, right?

You don't have to choose such an abstract approach, do you?

In addition, Matthew is well aware of the drastic damage that the process of childbirth can cause to the body.

It's not just physical damage.

It's a massive loss at the element level

Matthew has a lot of love for his body.

Because he knows it well.

Even if you can reshape your body after entering the Legendary, better physical fitness means that you can get a higher boost during the Legendary phase.

Everything he's doing now is accumulating for advanced legends.

Childbearing, a risky and low-return behavior, is undoubtedly the opposite.

He couldn't bear the slightest damage to his body.

Surrell's meaning couldn't be more obvious.

She hopes that Matthew will be able to give birth to the embryo through the flesh, and during this time, she may be able to use the reincarnation spell to infuse Margaret's soul into the embryo.

So.

She became Margaret's father, and Barbatha, the evil queen, was her mother.

As long as Surel has a way to suppress the mark of the Queen in the embryo.

Then Margaret was born as a demigod after reincarnation, and she will have infinite possibilities for growth!

This is certainly the best way for Margaret to deal with the unexpected fall.

But not for Matthew.

On the premise of not hurting himself, he was of course willing to help Margaret.

But if it is damaged to his own foundation, let Surreil use other means.

Seeing Matthew's determined eyes.

Suriel's mood gradually subsided, and she nodded slightly:

"You're right."

"That's so unfair to you."

"It's just this embryo, it's a bit of a pity......"

Matthew's heart moved.

He hurriedly asked:

"Is there any way to get the embryo out without having a physical birth?"

Surrell pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"It's not just a curse or a pollution, it's a blessing of domain ability, and while we can counteract it in other ways, your body is already tied to it, and from an outsider's point of view, it's hard for us to get rid of this embryo by non-violent means—I mean the kind of thing that doesn't cause great harm to your body."

Suriel explains:

"In addition to normal delivery, I currently have three strategies in mind –

The first is to kill the evil queen Babasha.

The realm blessing on your body comes from the realm radiation of this otherworldly god.

As long as she dies.

This problem is naturally solved.

The second way is for you to transform yourself into a fully undead.

Through thorough negative energization.

You are blessed to cover the fertility field completely.

There is no way to talk about the pollution of the evil queen.

As for the third one, it is to forcibly remove the embryo.

I said it before.

This embryo comes from your realm abilities that have been blessed by the Queen.

So I'm not sure if it will continue to form after it is beaten.

And the abortion itself is also very hurtful.

It's even more hurtful than a normal delivery......"

Matthew, who said Surreel's words, frowned.

He thought he was polluted or cursed by the Queen.

Didn't you expect it to be a blessing?

"Can't I give up or reject the field of fertility and related abilities?"

Matthew asked, puzzled:

"And one more question, if this blessing is continuous, is it anchored to my body or my soul?"

Surrell muttered:

"You may have the opportunity to give up or refuse the moment the blessing takes effect, but it is clear that the evil queen Babasa is very strange in her methods, and you have not been able to grasp that only window."

"From what I've observed so far, it's going to be hard for you to get rid of this ability for the time being."

"This is the second question, and to be honest, I'm not sure, Babasha is from another world, and even if the realm she masters overlaps with Aindo, there are a lot of irrationalities, and if you want to figure this out, I'm afraid you have to do a soul out of body experiment."

Matthew nodded slightly.

That's what he actually thought.

Suriel looked at him with some curiosity:

"What's your idea?"

Matthew smiled bitterly:

"I just have some weird ideas."

"If this ability is bound to my physical body, can my soul be directly projected onto this embryo and snatch the ownership of the embryo with the mark of the evil queen?"

"Once I succeed, I can give birth to myself on my own, and at the same time have a demigod embryo full of divinity as a doppelganger, is it theoretically possible?"

Surrell was dumbfounded.

She stared Matthew up and down several times, and then couldn't help but bite her index finger:

"There's nothing wrong with what you're saying."

"After all, the influence of the evil queen on this embryo is like that, if you are really prepared, it is not impossible to replace it."

"From your personal point of view, this is really the best way to deal with it."

Matthew had completely calmed down from the panic of a sudden pregnancy.

Analyze carefully.

In fact, it's just an extra tumor in my body!

Surier's words made Matthew realize.

This tumor is invaluable to many people!

Margaret so.

Isn't that the case with the gods of Tianlun Palace?

He is even beginning to worry now that once the news leaks out, whether the gods of Tianlun Palace, including the God of Travelers, will line up one by one to be his cheap children!

When I think of that scene.

Matthew is also the head of the Titanic.

"The specific treatment plan may need to take into account more details, my research on human enchantment is okay, but I am only an apprentice in the field of life."

Surier concludes:

"Your problem involves the mystery of the field of life, and it just so happens that there is a fault line in the research of the alliance in the field of life, except for your mentor who confines himself every day, no one else has too deep research in the field of life."

"We can't quite count on the druids or elves, after the fall of the earth spirits, the druid order lacks enough experienced talents, the development of the jade court is also hindered by the traces of the dead, there may be some scholars in the field of life in the forest of eternal songs, but they may not be willing to come and help."

"At the end of the day, it's the priest or the sorcerer who is best at this, and you may end up relying on yourself."

Matthew nodded.

Surier's analysis doesn't directly solve the problem, though.

But it also pointed out the direction of dealing with it for him.

"Since the relevant ability in the field of fertility is passively taking effect, as long as I have a higher authority in the relevant field, I can completely cover or replace this ability."

Matthew's thinking is getting broader and broader:

"If I have the authority of the earth, then as a part of the earthly realm, the ability to reproduce must be regulated by the authority of the earth, and I can even directly precipitate the embryo through the power of the realm...... Although this premise is a bit difficult, I have gained the approval of the earth, and I have a gem like the crown of the earth, as long as I have enough time, I can't do it. ”

"And not only the earth, but also the two major fields of nature and life and the field of fertility are either vertical or intersecting, if there can be a breakthrough in these two major fields, I can also effectively control this embryo."

"Ten thousand steps back, I can go to Hasman and Dudley, maybe they can use the power of the spore field to break down the embryo and complete the reproduction and reproduction in another form."

"I can also go to Huang Yulong, he must be very interested in this issue as well, maybe he can also collect a spectator fee?"

The more Matthew thought about it, the more excited he became.

Look at it this way.

The blessing of the queen is not a bad thing at all.

Or even a huge opportunity!

He could clearly feel that a dead window was opening for him.

It was a call from a higher realm!

Earth!

Nature!

Life!

If before, Matthew only had the achievements of field harvesters in some subdivisions.

Then this time he had a strong premonition.

As long as you can solve the problem of embryo removal smoothly.

I will inevitably go further in the above three major fields and become a real domain master!

Think of it.

He couldn't help but touch his belly, which was bulging slightly.

There was love in his eyes.

What a curse this is!

It's clearly a mountain of gold!

However, the premise of all this is that Matthew must suppress the natural birth of the embryo before the perfect solution can be found.

It was clearly impossible for him to do it on his own.

This is true even if there are two divinities in hand.

So he turned to Surrell for help:

"Is there any way to temporarily suppress the urge to give birth to the embryo?"

"I need some time to find the perfect solution."

"As long as I can find a way to deal with it without harming my own body, I can also transfer this embryo to you as a reincarnation vessel for Margaret."

Suriel is also refreshing.

She directly threw a topaz bracelet to Matthew:

"Let's talk about Margaret's affairs, I'm not without other preparations, as for yourself......"

"Wearing this, you won't give birth naturally for half a year, and the shape of the embryo will be suppressed to the size of a stone, it won't squeeze your internal organs, at most it will occasionally sting."

"Of course, this bracelet is not without a price, you will lose your fertility in half a year, and it will take a certain amount of time to recover after taking it off."

Matthew thanked him for putting the bracelet on.

data bar.

……

"Hint: You're wearing a birth control bracelet.

Your natural affinity drops slightly.

By wearing the props, you have successfully suppressed the urge to give birth naturally, and your temperance field has been greatly improved!

You've been given more opportunities to explore, do you want to do it now?"

……

Because the tendency to give birth is suppressed.

So let nature be dissatisfied?

Matthew shook his head with a smile.

It's just a little affinity, not a big problem.

He could feel that the embryo in his body was effectively controlled, and it no longer had the fatal effect on Matthew's concentration as before.

That's the best news.

As for the additional realm of moderation, Matthew certainly didn't plan to explore it now.

He quickly shifted his gaze from the data bar to Soulel in front of him.

Their own troubles were temporarily resolved.

Then it's time to deal with Margaret's unexpected.

"Should I pay anything for this bracelet?"

Matthew asked deliberately.

Surrell shook his head slightly:

"No need, I originally came to ask you for help, and then you go to purgatory with me, and this bracelet will be given to you."

Matthew asked:

"Is there anything I need to do?"

"Why me?"

Surill quickly explains:

"Margaret died suddenly, and I wasn't much prepared.

I went to purgatory to collect her body temporarily, and I also needed someone to summon her spirit, and this person had to be familiar to her during her lifetime.

As far as I know, Margaret doesn't have many friends, and she only had a close relationship with you before she went to Purgatory.

What's more, you're still a necromancer, and when it comes to necromancy, this should be your forte. ”

Matthew still can't accept that Margaret died like this.

He asked a little sadly:

"So Margaret really died at the hands of the devil?"

Surreel's face showed a rare look of sadness.

But she doesn't seem to be willing to expand on it.

She just nodded faintly:

"Hmm."

"She's a little greedy, she should have been promoted to a legend a long time ago, but she wants to pursue the limit......"

"Needless to say, you can prepare this spell for the soul of the guardian spirit, and the first half will follow the normal necromantic summoning ritual."

said.

She handed a bright yellow scroll to Matthew.

Matthew unfolded and looked at it.

The spell is not complicated.

He was indeed gifted in the necromantic realm, and according to the description on the scroll, all he needed to do was summon Margaret's Patronus.

But such a simple move.

Why didn't Suriel come by himself?

He expressed his doubts.

Suriel said lightly:

"I have my own business."

"When you get to Purgatory, I'll clear a space for you, where you summon Margaret's soul and find a way to put it in this bottle, after which you can return to the main material realm and wait for my follow-up news."

As she spoke, she tossed a long, blue ceramic vase to Matthew.

Matthew shook the bottle.

It seemed to be filled with water.

It's still quite heavy in my hand.

"Are you ready?"

Suriel asked.

Matthew nodded.

At that moment, the former's right hand tore hard, and a round-arched portal instantly took shape.

A scorching breath poured out of the door, and the smell of volcanic sulfur stimulated the eyes of everyone present.

Suriel was the first to step in.

Matthew followed.

……

"Hint: You've arrived at the 24th floor of Purgatory, Infernal Island!

Infernal Island (Inferno Knowledge): This place is part of Morgan's Purgatory of the Ninefold Purgatory, ruled by the legendary Devil Morgan, one of the Lords of the Nine, who rules the 21st to 67th floors of Purgatory.

There are a large number of devils who resemble black goats living on Infernal Island, and their lord is the "Shepherd" Consonia (Legendary/Lord/Mutant Devil)......

……

Ninefold Purgatory does not mean that there are only nine layers of purgatory.

In fact.

A highly fissioned folded plane like the Abyss or Purgatory has a near-infinite number of branching planes.

These branch planes are independent of each other, and theoretically they are not in the same interval, let alone high or low.

Just for the convenience of statistics and referencing.

The common way to do this is to layer these branch planes in the order in which they were discovered.

Layers are independent of each other.

However, the area where each floor is located is broadly divided.

Today.

Purgatory is still roughly divided into 9 dimensions.

Each of these 9 spaces has a powerful devil's rule, but some have completed the unification, and some are still divided and fighting internally.

In the tradition of purgatory.

The name of the most powerful ruler is the name of Purgatory.

Therefore, the 24th layer of the Purgatory in front of you is a branch plane of Morgan's Purgatory.

In Matthew's impression.

Morgan is one of the more powerful of the Nine Hellmasters.

A high degree of unity has been accomplished within Morgan's purgatory, and all demons must obey the command of Morgan himself.

It stands to reason that Margaret shouldn't have come to this level.

She should go to the more chaotic planes of purgatory.

I think the cause of her death may also have something to do with this.

Look away from the data bar.

The space in front of me is filled with dazzling orange-red.

Matthew looked out.

But I saw that there was a constant rain of fire in the sky, and every drop of flame had the shape of rain.

And the earth is full of fire.

The fire of purgatory, which continues throughout the year, swept through the heavens and the earth.

This makes the space look like a giant stove or oven.

If it weren't for the protective spells blessed by Surreel.

Matthew wonders if he's gone from the world!

Even so.

He was also a little sweaty, and even his eyebrows were covered with sweat.

Matthew wiped his eyes.

In the middle of the air of fire rain and fire, there are pitch-black islands.

It's not so much an island.

It's more like pieces of cliffs.

These fragments are really very small.

Some can only accommodate 3~5 people standing.

The bigger ones are 30 or 40 square meters.

These fine islands are above.

I can vaguely see the beating shadows.

It was a devil that resembled a mountain black goat, and they had the appearance of a black goat, except for the thighs and buttocks of the hind limbs, which looked a bit like a human.

It's like a stitching monster made of black goats and humans.

It gives a strong feeling of nausea.

Surrell flew quickly through the air with Matthew.

They skimmed over countless fragmented floating islands.

And every time it passes.

Black goats on floating islands will die silently!

Matthew couldn't even see what spell Surrell was using.

A moment later.

They arrived on a larger island.

There is a splendid palace built on the island.

Outside the palace are countless black goats and little devils.

Surreel descended in front of the palace.

All the devils couldn't help but retreat.

Some devils were squeezed to the edge of the island, accidentally stumbled, and finally fell into the fire and were burned alive.

"Consonia!"

Surreel's voice was filled with pent-up anger.

Smack.

The palace gates suddenly opened.

More devils were squeezed under the island.

However, Surrell is oblivious to everything around him.

She just strode towards the palace.

Matthew hurried to follow.

There is a space inside the palace.

As soon as the two of them entered, they saw an extremely large square.

There are strange and inexplicable stone pillars erected in the square.

Matthew gave a few quick glances.

Each pillar is engraved with the totem of the Devil Lord Morgan.

There was a strong smell of blood between the stone pillars.

The next second.

Matthew saw a scene that he will never forget-

Right in the middle of that square.

A huge black goat is gnawing at a corpse of various shapes.

There was a shivering little minion next to her.

But Matthew noticed it in an instant.

The so-called little minion is also a legendary devil!

It's just under the terrifying coercion of the black goat.

This legendary devil also seems a little insignificant.

"She's eating the corpse of a legendary devil......"

"It should be the three legendary devils who were just killed by Margaret!"

Matthew's heart was cold.

Resisting his discomfort, he desperately tried to find traces of Margaret among the endless flesh and blood.

And yet he found nothing.

It's not that Matthew's perception isn't sharp enough.

It's that the pile of meat in front of the black goat is too complicated and confusing!

Except that the corpses of the three legendary devils are somewhat recognizable.

The corpses of the rest of the humans were like they had been chopped into dumpling fillings and brought up.

For the devil lord in front of him to feast.

"Give me back my people."

Surill said.

However, the black goat only knew how to eat big.

She chuckled as she chewed:

"What you eat in your stomach, how can you spit it out?"

"You're late, I'll treat you to something else!"

said.

She lost a human leg and came over.

However, the man's legs were still flying in the air.

Surreel's figure vanished in place.

The next second.

Violent screams came from the depths of the palace—

"Ah......h

With the heart-rending roar of the giant black goat.

Matthew was shocked to see that her stomach was ripped open with a long crack!

He couldn't even see Suriel's shadow clearly.

After a few screams.

Surreel reappeared with Matthew intact.

Syllable!

A huge stomach pouch landed in front of the two.

Sting!

Surrell waved his right hand.

The stomach pouch was torn open.

Even more disgusting flesh flowed out like a mudslide.

Soulel's expression didn't change in the slightest.

She popped out three gold coins in her right hand.

The next second.

All the excess flesh was gone.

Outside the stomach pouch.

All that was left was a female corpse that had been corroded off half of her body.

The female corpse's originally clear and bright eyes widened, with a dead expression.

Matthew's nose was sour, and his heart was a little sad.

The world is indeed in danger.

Even a powerful mage like Margaret has fallen tragically in the practice of her legendary path.

And in the long process of resisting the outer planes.

Margaret is not the only mage who has fallen tragically?

"Mary ......"

"I'm here to take you home."

Suriel sighed lowly.

Matthew silently tucked away Margaret's body in a body bag.

Surrell looked at him quietly.

Suddenly he said:

"She's actually very envious of you."

"Huh?"

Matthew was a little surprised.

Surrell continued:

"It's not just you, Hibbert, Feliven...... There are so many young people in the league that they have the talent to make Mary jealous to the point of madness. ”

"Because with your talent, the degree to which you can do it casually may be the ceiling that she can't reach no matter how hard she tries."

Matthew didn't know what to say.

In his impression.

Margaret is undoubtedly an extremely powerful Kryptonite warrior.

But think about it.

In fact, she is also a poor person who is struggling to be rejected by the way of legend.

In addition to being a mage and Surreel's influence.

She is no different from Lee Weiqi.

"The first time I met Mary was in the ring in the Floating City, when she was untalented and very weak, but she would never give up fighting those who looked down on her."

"I didn't pay attention to her at the time, and for many years later, every time I watched the actual ring, I could see that she was injured and still unwilling to admit defeat."

"There were a lot of mages at the time who laughed at Mary for being the best free sparring partner."

"Because she won't refuse anyone's challenge, she longs for every fight, even if it's bruised, even if it's broken."

"Since then, I've had some impressions of her, and I've secretly listened to her conversations with others."

"Someone persuaded her that it was already very good for a girl to be a mage, take care of herself, and work more on her body and beauty-related spells than anything else."

"If you can't become a good mage, then marrying a good mage is also a good choice."

"This is what many academic female mages really think."

"They didn't come to the Academy of Magic to learn spells sincerely, but to use this platform to meet more excellent male mages."

"But Mary is different."

"That's not what she thought."

"She might even be more special than you think—

There are some girls who work hard to prove that they are better than men.

But Mary wasn't.

In her eyes, there is no distinction between men and women.

She just wants to be better than everyone else!

She had a competitive spirit that I had never seen before.

So I made her my student.

I thought I could change her fate.

But obviously.

I overestimated myself.

Mary is a stubborn and competitive girl who likes her very much.

But she is essential.

Still an ordinary person with mediocre talents.

She's done the limit of what a mortal can do.

In addition to the effort.

She didn't have the slightest other talent.

Actually, I already knew.

Mary is not suited to the path of Fei Capital and me, for she is a big fool who does not make any money at all;

Even if it's the actual combat ability that she is proud of.

It was also earned through thousands of beatings.

It's really hard for her to move forward.

Geniuses have a simple realization.

For her, she has to endure countless pains, and she is still not allowed to enter.

That's the cruelty of magic.

Even if I could bring her back to life.

She's only a part of Mary anymore.

She may become more mediocre, she may reconcile with herself, or she may become an ordinary person.

But it's certainly not the same person you've ever seen anymore.

All in all.

Mary was one of the most failed investments of my life.

But I don't really regret it. ”

There was a rare sadness in Surreel's tone.

Matthew was also infected by her emotions.

He bowed his head slightly.

Suriel quickly adjusted his mood.

She advised:

"You use this body to summon the Patronus I left in the sand of her soul, remember to move quickly, don't delay here for too long, find Mary's soul, go back first."

She then opened a portal to the main physical realm, and placed an extremely powerful protective barrier near the portal.

Do it all.

Matthew watched Surreel emerge from the protective barrier.

At this time, the giant black goat in the square was still eating wildly.

Even if her stomach pouch had been removed by Surreel.

Even her chest and lower abdomen are open.

Even when she ate it, a large amount of flesh fell from her esophagus to the ground.

But she still didn't stop this crazy action.

This scene makes people panic when they look at it.

Surrell strode over.

Every step of the way.

There will be a sudden fragmentation of the black goat's body.

Seven steps out.

The massive body of this legendary Devil Monarch collapsed with a bang.

The minced flesh on her body also turned into a part of the sea of corpses and blood in the square.

"If only I could take a few more bites......"

Before dying, the black goat made a nostalgic murmur.

However, Surrell didn't look at her at all.

She looked up, her gaze was extremely sharp, as if it had penetrated the thick ceiling, and her voice was even more solemn than ever:

"Morgan."

"Your time of death has come!"

……

"Warning: Divine Mage Surreel has officially launched a dueling challenge to Morgan, one of the Lords of the Nine Hells!

To avoid dying from unknown injuries.

Please get out of here as soon as possible!"

……
