What did you do with the dice?

"Thank you, big fox."

The two of them walked up this last and most special section of the fully enclosed spiral staircase, shoulder to shoulder.

The sound of footsteps echoed in this small cylindrical space. The silence and the difference in height from the previous ones made this journey seem several times longer than all the previous stairs.

In such a dull space, Rusalka always had to find something to talk about, so she continued from the end of the story about the Sani Tower.

"Actually, this isn't our last stop. After all, after our long break and return to Pearl Tear Territory, we'll have to take the portal to Wright Cathedral to find Theresa. We'll then humiliate her in her most proud base. After all, that's how it's drawn in the book."

Sanita: "It's against the will of heaven."

Rusalka: "Oh, and you reminded me too. There's less than a week left until the third month. Anyway, after I detonate Theresa's power of faith, I still have to go spend some time with Aerie before returning to Earth. I can go back a few days later, which shouldn't be a big deal. I don't think gods are very punctual and rigid."

Sanita was very surprised: "You actually still remember this."

Rusalka proudly pointed her thumb at her chest and said, "Of course I am. After all, I am a Promised Knight!"

As I continued to walk up the Sani Tower, a beam of light appeared in front of me. It seemed that the top of the building was right in front of me.

He paused and said, "As for me, the further I go, the more I feel like Theresa and I are exactly the same."

Rusalka shuddered and made a questioning expression. "What's wrong, brother? Your words are a bit scary. Do you want to stop being a man and enjoy yourself first?"

"Alas, you won't understand even if I tell you. Let's go."

"Playing mysterious, Brother Fei, you've been in this world for so long, but you haven't changed your bad habits on Earth at all."

"Brother Xiao, you are the one who has no right to criticize me."

The two of them came to the platform.

There was nothing on it, only an empty golden-red circle drawn on the ground.

Sani Iron Tower walked into the circle and soon found himself in the space unique to the gods.

And in front of him was the god of war, Krampus, a big guy covered in gold, but not the one that Rusalka liked, sitting on a golden toilet.

Kampas looked at Sanita: (Since you chose to ignore Yu Shang's warning and come to me, it means that you already have the answer in your heart.)

Sanitita: (Yes, I'm just curious. Why did you kindly remind us when you already knew you couldn't obtain Rusalka's power of faith? What good does this do for you?)

Krampus: (Because newcomers represent new and unknown changes, and I'm a little tired of the situation where just hard work will guarantee victory.)

Sanita: (Are these people fixed, or are there many people?)

Krampus: (There are many, some of whom we don't even know. We just listen to Alpha's organization. We can watch the battle while waiting. Each time is a different situation, with different victory conditions.)

Sunita: (Then I only have one last question.)

Campas didn't listen to Sanita's words, but spoke first: (You are not special.)

That's indeed the case.

He nodded slowly, his consciousness forcibly expelled from this space.

This time it wasn't the God of War who ended the meeting, but a dagger hit him right in the chest.

"I know you will want to see the gods. After all, this is a temptation that no wizard can refuse, Master Sanita."

Theresa stood in front of him without knowing when.

And Rusalka was behind him, motionless.

In this entire still world, she was the only one who could move.

Theresa could even ignore the rules of the [Time Stop] magic and not remove the effect when hurting others, and just stabbed Sanita in the chest one by one.

That means it wasn't Theresa who released the [Time Stop] effect.

"But what you may not know is that when you talk to a god, your body will remain in the same place, and you will feel that time is not necessary. This is simply because the Alpha will suspend the time of the world. That is also part of the rules of their game."

"After all, the gods think in an instant, but us mortals need time. We can't adapt to them, so they can only use this method to accommodate us."

"It's just that I'm halfway to their level. I've experienced this kind of time stoppage about ten times. At first, it was just a split second, then I had clear consciousness, then I could move for a second or two, and then the time kept getting longer and longer."

"Now, I can move for about 30 seconds during this time, which is enough time for me to kill you."

"Then, I will easily accept your faith in the Supreme Lord of Arcane by using the world created for me by the gods to stop."

"Next, it's just the final showdown between me and the little knight. Farewell."

In this static world, Theresa, whose body was wrapped in an ominous blood-red light, was able to move freely. In front of Rusalka, who was also static beside her, she finally penetrated the indestructible data body of Sanitta and stabbed the dagger from the God of Truth into Sanitta's chest.

HP is 0

【The death substitution ring has been exhausted.】

【Death Verification 2/3】

The still Sani Iron Tower suddenly sneered and murmured, "We are so much alike. If it were me, I would also choose to take action here and now. However, there is only one essential difference between the two of us."

His words shocked Theresa.

This guy can actually move even when the gods have stopped world time?!

No, seeing as his life was gradually burning out, he should only be able to speak.

Theresa: "Any last words you would like me to give to the Knight?"

Sanitta sighed, "It's sad that you've never fully trusted anyone in your life."

"You don't believe Rusalka will make a deal with you, so you want to kill me and take all the blessings first to become invincible."

"But actually, I know he no longer wants to kill you. The unwavering kindness in his heart, the belief that people will tolerate each other, is something I will never be able to understand or obtain in my lifetime."

"So, I'm the same as you. I'm not willing to be manipulated either. I also want to be a god who has the final say over everything."

The Sani Tower slowly fell down.

Before his body completely dissipated, he only smiled and said, "But before I take this step, I will choose to trust him one more time."

"Goodbye, poor creature."

After saying this, his body completely disappeared.

After the object of communication with the gods disappeared, the whole world resumed its flow.

Rusalka looked at the Sani Tower that had turned into ashes in front of her, and looked at the system prompt in the lower right corner, and stood there in a daze for a long time.

【Your teammate has died. 】

Chapter 533 Demigod

Theresa felt that her supreme arcane power had not yet been unlocked, and she was very confused.

Shouldn't I have already collected all the blessings?

"why?"

But this question came from Rusalka's mouth.

The last time he used such a calm tone was in Mingyue City.

"If you want a blessing, I will give it to you. Why are you doing this?"

"Even if you try to use Fei Ge as a hostage to threaten me before the final blow, what makes you think I won't give in? Is the power of faith really that important that you can completely ignore the existence of others?"

Theresa opened her arms nonchalantly and took a deep breath. "We have both successfully fulfilled all the wishes we left in this world. Now, there is no one else here. It's just you and me."

"Isn't it just right that we should have our final duel without regrets, right here, closest to the gaze of the gods?"

Rusalka shouted angrily, "Then why did you kill Sanita? If you want a happy ending, no one should be sacrificed!"

Theresa shook her head regretfully. "Wake up, my little knight! He's just a mortal created by the gods. He's as good as you want him to be! But I never imagined that he would actually entrust his faith from the Supreme Lord of Arcane to you."

She said enviously, "How wonderful, little knight! You've been surrounded by those who love and trust you along the way, while I'm all alone on the long road to godhood, with only myself to trust."

"But now you can see that becoming a god is destined to be lonely. Everything around us is mortal, and mortals cannot touch the gods, just like the relationship between us and the Twelve Gods today."

"We two messengers of the end ultimately reached the same destination, each standing alone on this final stage."

"Draw your weapons, little knight. After this battle, between you and me, a new god will be born!"

Rusalka sighed, pulled out the torch, and said through gritted teeth:

"No, I will definitely kill you. No matter what, I don't have any magic, so I must kill you here and there. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will find you and kill you completely."

The reason why he was still able to remain rational and talk to Theresa was because after Sanita's death, the system popped up a series of prompts.

[You have inherited the special legendary ability from the Sani Tower.]

[The flame of hope inherited (inherited state)]

[Ability Effect: After being killed by another unit, this ability will be passed on to the "friendly" unit with the highest current favorability. The unit will know its ability and effect the moment it inherits the ability, until there is no one left to pass it on to.]

[If any friendly unit kills the murderer during this period, this ability will be activated, allowing the player to revive with full health.]

[Note: After this ability is activated, it will be transferred back from the carrier to the user.]

My good brother is not dead yet.

This BYD Lao Liu usually doesn't let his character die even when playing games. He even complained to himself at that time whether he had entered the game with his real body.

Now his true form has come out, and it turns out that he had chosen the ability to survive when he was promoted to Legend.

Rusalka cursed Sanitta in her heart for wanting to win easily, but she also thought it was great.

In this way, there is only one thing left for him to do, which is what he is best at - fighting and killing the enemy.

Activate [Fearlessness] and discard the anger and distracting thoughts in your heart.

In this battle where there was no time to rest, he had no way to spread his wings, nor did he have the assistance of the big turntable.

We must treat this battle seriously, as it can be said to be the most difficult battle since we traveled through time.

Alone, fighting alone, relying on incomplete resources, he tried to kill Theresa Lily, the world's most powerful messenger of the end who had collected 12 kinds of faith power.

Theresa, however, chuckled at Rusalka's declaration of death, and slowly produced a staff and golden teardrop from the void: "Don't worry, little knight. I will never run away in this battle."

"Because, the time between your battle with me and that Yu Shang was less than 8 hours. Your condition should not have fully recovered yet, and I will not give you time to recover."

This girl, Theresa, specifically chose this time and place to start a war with me.

She pretended to return to the forest that day, deliberately making him think that she was "not ready", but in fact she had been following him secretly all the way.

This guy is much more despicable than she thought, but it is understandable. After all, she was able to get to this point on her own, and at least in terms of heart and mind, she is definitely not inferior to Sunita.

Theresa continued, seemingly trying to disrupt Rusalka's mood with her words: "On the battlefield in Alice City, and even in the subsequent demon war, I was always watching you intently."

"You, between every battle, no matter what the situation is, you must get at least 8 hours of sleep."

"We're both legends. You could have overdrawn your energy and stayed awake for a month to maintain peak performance, then slowly recover through sleep and food. But why would you rest in such a critical situation?"

"Rusalka, the 'divine power' you comprehend must be similar to mine, and also has its limitations."

"As for you, you probably have the restriction of 'can't use it continuously, you have to rest for a certain period of time before you can use it again'."

Hell, did she even see through her own "long rest" mechanism without any information prompt?

Theresa ignored Rusalka's silence and continued to challenge her, "Then why don't you guess what the limits of my 'divine power' are?"

It's a pity that Rusalka never loses a verbal battle:

"Perhaps it's because you possess a body of joy that is easily loved, but because of your own personality, no one has truly loved you for thousands of years. You yourself haven't realized that you are no longer a pitiful victim, but have become the pathetic abuser you once hated the most."

Theresa's smile gradually froze. She slowly raised her cane and pointed it at Rusalka. "Rusalka, I have to admit, your words do make me a little angry, but so be it. After becoming a god, the first thing I will do is resurrect you and imprison you. Watch over my rebirth and revenge."

Rusalka sprinted forward, holding the torch at her waist as if to draw her sword. "You have no future!"

Using a stick as a sword, he arrived in an instant.

Theresa flipped the cane over, lit the torch with the tip of the cane, and gave a slight shake of her other hand. The golden teardrops immediately ignited, turning the space into a sea of ​​fire.

But Rusalka was not afraid at all. The damage from the artifact was meaningless to him. He had dozens of lives, totaling thousands of health points, and he also had Hamlet's Shield. Even if it was a divine artifact, anything that could be materialized by data could not be his opponent.

The two exchanged several moves, each hitting the other, and the Holy Slash hit Theresa but was blocked by the red mist.

The moment her cane hit Rusalka, the negative effect of [Forced Dance] was immediately removed by the Eel Transformer.

Rusalka swung the torch quickly, and every move was a perfect combination of sword and spear skills.

However, Theresa had been proficient in martial arts for thousands of years. Even if she activated the [Parry Master], she could only barely tie with him, ensuring that Rusalka could remain undefeated and had no chance of winning.

A minute later, both of them realized at the same time that if they simply used force, it would be a battle with no end.

Theresa held Rusalka's torch with her cane in one hand, then swung her dagger at his waist.
