Chapter 121: Death's Truth

Novel:

Author:

The dilapidated, decaying town was already deserted. Those who could escape had long since fled; those who couldn't had mostly become the bones underfoot.

A streak of black light flashed, cutting across the town's sky.

"Flower of Death!"

Above, a gigantic black rose materialized in the sky. Within the rose, a small, slender figure clad in a red rose-patterned robe appeared, brandishing a staff high above.

Four evil gods, engaged in battle, suddenly looked up at the sky. The terrifying aura they sensed belonged to a Level 7 Epic.

The gap between realms was immense. Even though they were four legendary wizards, far surpassing ordinary legends, disaster struck them in an instant.

Boom!!

The colossal rose descended, like a massive black comet crashing into the town. The bodies of the four evil gods rapidly disintegrated, corrupted, collapsed, and vanished in a terrifying tide of black energy.

The four evil gods died simultaneously.

The town was left in ruins, with a massive crater where it had been struck.

"Come out, immortal evil gods." Medusa floated gently ten meters above the ground.

Meanwhile,

"Damn! We almost died. Epics truly are terrifying."

Akina Speed was still shaken. Four "organ players" were hiding in the shadows.

"Thankfully, as times evolve, so do we. Our true forms were hidden in the dimensional magic box within our nape flesh, secretly controlling things from another space. But it was too terrifying; the unstable space shattered instantly, and we all fell out."

Their "Giants of Light," painstakingly cultivated for so many years, were gone in an instant. Their hearts bled.

But ultimately, their core wasn't harmed. They had all retained backup populations, which could be extensively reproduced and reassembled upon their return.

However, with such massive forms, the resources required for a full recovery would make it virtually impossible within three to five years.

"Severely weakened! But we're all alive, and they must be too." Akina Speed whispered, but in the next second, his face turned to extreme horror as he witnessed an unbelievable scene.

Rumble!

"Emperor Medusa, you're exactly who we've been waiting for!!"

A semi-complete Cthulhuian evil god burst from the earth beside a vast, massive mountain range. Countless rock fragments fell as it slowly rose, incomplete but already possessing most of its colossal form.

"Those 'red-named players' have teamed up? This is a trap to counterattack Emperor Medusa?" Xue Bai Xue was instantly astonished. "What a grand scheme. I wonder how many years they've been preparing, to have hollowed out an entire mountain range."

"It turns out the four of them weren't just trying to get rid of me, but also to lure Medusa out." At that moment, a male wizard wearing headphones slowly walked out.

"Holy crap! You're alright? Your clothes are still intact!"

Akina Speed was utterly shocked.

"How could I be alright?"

Long Ji shook his head. "My evil god body also died instantly, but over the past hundred years, I created an extra backup body, hidden in a spatial magic box. I'm using it now."

He looked up at the Cthulhuian evil god. "They likely also spent countless years and resources to create another new body. Using these older versions of 'Butcher' and 'Tombstone,' they wanted to eliminate me and simultaneously draw Medusa out. Behind the scenes, the four players reassembled using their other bodies."

Long Ji still felt a lingering fear.

The four of them had probably secretly allied and plotted for many years.

Moreover, if it weren't for these silly players suddenly appearing, he might have been dead by now! Although he didn't use the collected organs on himself, they would have been taken if they were hidden in another portable spatial magic box.

"These four individuals collectively possess seventy percent of the parts. These players have only ten percent, and I have twenty percent. If I had just been seized, they would have had ninety percent of the body, almost completely reassembled."

He was still shaken. If he had died just now, a Cthulhuian evil god at ninety percent completion would have been unbeatable by anyone in this world.

Long Ji took a deep breath. "Let's go."

"Just leave? Not help?" "More Krypto, Chop Hands" couldn't help but say.

Long Ji was very rational. "How can we help? This evil god is terrifyingly powerful. There's no way to intervene in an epic battle like this. It's good if Medusa wins, but what if the evil god wins?"

The faces of the four changed dramatically.

If Emperor Medusa died, no one in this world could resist. Would they have to rely on Armin? But Armin was still too young, and her strength was far from sufficient...

Long Ji took a deep breath. "We can only escape now! If the evil god wins, we won't fall into its hands. As long as we still control thirty percent, there's a chance to counterattack."

Since the four had already united, Long Ji could only join forces with these ordinary Chinese players.

"Don't worry, the complete form is the most powerful! A seventy-percent body is practically a cripple; its strength isn't even a fifth of its peak." Akina Speed was very optimistic.

Suddenly, a terrifying scene unfolded: the entire evil god emanated a dreadful aura of witchcraft.

"What the hell?"

Akina Speed couldn't help but be startled, immediately proven wrong.

Cerebellum Tiger Down the Mountain said: "It's quite normal. After all, behind every evil god stands a group of wizards who have pledged allegiance to the evil god's church, helping to cultivate individual species' organs. Our church's Giants of Light are the same. They're broken into pieces, and we trick believers into meditating and praying for them, without them knowing what they're actually helping to cultivate. You just wander around outside the church, that's why you don't know this. The red-named player next to you is also like this; everyone's main body tissues are basically Level 1 wizards now."

Long Ji nodded.

The evil god before them was too massive for all of it to be cultivated, but parts of it were already Level 1 wizards.

Although these Level 1 wizard organ tissues lacked self-awareness, the stronger the biological components, the more powerful the combined creature would naturally be. Furthermore, with the control of four Level 6 Legendary Muscle Wizards, its strength might not be much weaker than the Cthulhuian evil god of old.

After all, the Cthulhuian evil god from back then had undergone no cultivation whatsoever!

Medusa, although she had touched the periphery of demigodhood in recent years, significantly stronger than the Alchemist Emperor of the past, might not be a match.

This was precisely why Long Ji urged them to retreat.

At this moment.

"Indeed, just as I suspected, most of it has revived."

Medusa floated slowly, her eyes closed. "If I open my eyes, will I be staring directly at death?"

She suddenly opened her eyes and focused her hearing. "If I can't open my eyes or project my spirit, I don't even have the right to challenge it... Let me see this unseeable death for myself."

Instantly, screams, wails, madness, and maniacal laughter—countless emotional sounds interwoven in chaos—poured into her mind.

"This is the pressure!"

Medusa clutched her throbbing head, bent over, and let out a sudden growl, feeling her blood boil. "I have always pursued truth, and it is almost within my grasp!"

The chaotic noise still tore at her mind. The greater the danger, the more exhilarated she became. She knew clearly that if she couldn't break through, death awaited her.

"Attack!"

The Cthulhuian evil god roared, "Don't let her break through! If we kill her, no one can resist, and the world will be ours."

The Royal Capital of Babylon.

Armin, clad in magnificent wizard robes, sat quietly on her elevated throne. Before her was a massive magical projection, displaying a terrifying battle that shook heaven and earth.

Spreading from the town, it had already shattered the nearby mountains and rivers.

Below, there was silence. A witch minister couldn't help but tremble, "Emperor Medusa, she actually took matters into her own hands..."

"She'll be fine. She was able to break through once under the deathly pressure from her teacher; she will surely break through a second time." Armin forced a smile. "As long as she reaches demigod status, the peak of human potential, even if she doesn't forge her own path to godhood from the 'Blood of Eternal Life,' we can give her the bloodline expansion potion that belonged to her teacher and ignite the divine fire with 'God's Forbidden Potion.' Becoming an Epic Level 8 is inevitable."

Over the years, Armin, even without wearing alchemical armor, had become the second newly advanced Epic Wizard. However, wearing alchemical armor only augmented a portion of her strength, and its enhancement diminished further along the path.

She was still relatively too young, lacking sufficient cultivation time, and demigod status was still a distant prospect...

The Half-Orc Kingdom.

"Your Majesty," someone couldn't help but speak.

The Harpy King, seated on a high throne, shook her head and replied softly, "In this world-altering battle, we can do nothing but wait and see who will be our world's new Grand Wizard Emperor—Medusa? Or the Cthulhuian evil god?"

Her gaze lowered. From beginning to end, among the three great kingdoms, the Half-Orc Kingdom had never produced a genius who truly influenced the world. They were merely propelled by the era, never its masters...

Rumble.

The ground was crumbling, and the entire town was instantly leveled. Emperor Medusa was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a distant mountain range.

Akina Speed's group was fleeing far away.

As outsiders, they had gradually realized they were never the protagonists of this era, merely splashes in a vast tide, propelled by history, helpless to control their own destiny.

"We only witness history, influence it, but we cannot lead it," Xue Bai Xue said softly, a deep sense of powerlessness in his voice.

"Do you hope Medusa wins?"

"I don't know."

"If Medusa wins, we'll be purged by the native wizards. If those four 'red-named players' win, we'll still be purged. There's no place left for us in this world."

They slowly walked away.

The sky rippled, and the earth wailed.

Behind them, the entire town finally succumbed, collapsing and breaking apart completely, turning into flat ground.

"Is this truth?"

"I saw death!! So, the truth of death is never to be touched; one can only see it by truly embracing death..."

A hearty laugh erupted, filled with deep joy, then abruptly ceased.

"Madwoman."

The severely damaged Cthulhuian evil god slowly stood on the vast land, uttering words tinged with intense horror.

Medusa was ultimately defeated. She fought until her dying breath.

It was a pity that fate had once granted her the grace of a breakthrough near death, but it did not favor her a second time.

"Emperor Medusa's aura is gone? It just disappeared? How is that possible?"

"Could it be..."

The group arrived in a mountain range, then suddenly turned back, murmuring about the incredible events. "That hearty laughter... why was she so happy?"

"To hear the Way in the morning, and die in the evening, is content."

This phrase suddenly flashed through their minds amid intense shock, leaving them with complex emotions. Medusa, after all, was a wizard worthy of admiration for her relentless pursuit of truth.

An epic of an era had thus come to an end.

Emperor Medusa, the Death Monarch, whose life spanned seven hundred years across more than half of the Wizard Kingdom's civilization—the Age of Three Witches, the Dark Age, the Age of the Alchemist Emperor, and the Age of Evil God Revival—had finally reached the end of her life.

She came with a resolve to die, and ultimately, she did not take that final step into the demigod realm.
