CHAPTER 664: CHAPTER 534: MAGIC VS. MAGIC!

Whoosh——

One after another, the stone statues shattered, falling to the ground.

The Demon King with her purple long hair stood among the rubble, looking around.

——She had killed all the humans.

"This is really...boring..."

She looked boredly toward the not-so-distant place.

The Temple stood silently on the desolate plain, seemingly empty.

However, in the sky, there was the rumble of thunder.

Thunder——

It was a power only Divine beings could wield.

The Demon King suddenly said, "Ye Jiana, are you not handing over that thing because your world has given birth to a Divine spirit?"

"I’m about to show you how funny that idea is."

She raised her hand, making an inviting gesture toward the sky:

"Come on, Divine spirits, it’s time for you to die."

Two Angels looked at Wu Xiaode together.

Even Fat Sa was looking at him.

——What to do?

Wu Xiaode whispered, "No, we can’t figure out its capabilities right now; rashly attacking is probably pointless."

His gaze fell on the scattered rubble on the ground.

Two lines of ice crystal characters suddenly appeared:

"A Rock Giant has initiated ’Summoning’."

"Do you want to descend onto it and fight the Demon King together?"

Wu Xiaode felt a bit strange in his heart.

In the past, it had always been he who was the recipient of Summoning, but surprisingly, today he too obtained the chance to descend upon another creature.

"Descend." Wu Xiaode spoke aloud.

The next second.

He suddenly disappeared from the sky.

On the ground, a Rock Giant stood up from the surface, and with a shimmer, it took on Wu Xiaode’s appearance.

——Because of the effect of "Fury," he had to join the battle as a "human."

Wu Xiaode walked straight to face the Demon King, saying:

"Next, I will be your enemy."

The Demon King didn’t even glance at him, her gaze fixed on the Thunder Light swirling uncertainly in the sky, and she said casually:

"I’ve killed countless Elemental Lives in Purgatory; what are you in comparison?"

Before she finished speaking.

Wu Xiaode suddenly noticed that the green flame ball above her head trembled slightly.

Immediately afterward——

An overwhelming power that erased everything rushed at his face, and Wu Xiaode knew he was about to die right there.

He suddenly swung his long knife forward——

"Whoever is my brother, come strike me"!

This Time Skill was a passive skill, which was sure to hit the enemy first once the combat started.

With one slash.

Wu Xiaode’s entire body crumbled into small rocks, falling to the ground.

Crucially——

The opponent had only spoken a single sentence!

He returned to the sky once again.

The advantage of "Summoning" was that he fought attached to the Rock Giant, and when the Rock Giant was defeated, he as a "spirit," according to the rules, would be expelled and return to the sky.

——So he hadn’t died.

"Damn, that strong?"

Fat Sa couldn’t help muttering to himself softly.

"Did you see how it killed me?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"It seems to be a word spell, and a very high-level word spell at that." Fat Sa said with furrowed brows.

"I think so too... let me try again."

Just as Wu Xiaode was about to make a move, Fat Sa grabbed him.

"Run, this kind of word spell is unsolvable; not just you, no one has the power to counter it," Fat Sa said solemnly.

"Bro, you have a good heart, but lack some experience." Wu Xiaode patted his shoulder.

Fat Sa was stunned and then looked down at the Demon King.

There was a scar on the Demon King’s face.

Not only that, but her health bar above her head had also dropped by one grid.

"How did you do that?"

Fat Sa couldn’t help but ask.

"As long as she fights with me, I am bound to hit her once," Wu Xiaode said.

The next second.

Wu Xiaode again descended towards the ground——

He descended upon another Rock Giant and once more walked up to the Demon King.

This time the Demon King got serious, eyeing him cautiously and saying:

"Was that move just now a Time Skill?"

"And what is your ability?" Wu Xiaode countered.

Neither spoke.

——No one would be foolish enough to reveal their secrets to the opponent.

The Demon King gently stroked the wound on her cheek and shook her head:

"You cannot defeat me like this, after all, I’ve killed countless Elemental Lives in Purgatory; what are you in comparison?"

Before she finished speaking, that annihilating power once again enveloped Wu Xiaode.

Knowing it was a moment of life and death, he suddenly said:

"I’ve killed a Purgatory Demon, can you do that?"

The breath of death suddenly vanished.

Word spell——

Yes, it’s a word spell.

Wu Xiaode continued speaking, trusting his instinct:

"What’s killing Elemental Lives? Can you kill a Purgatory Demon like I can?"

Boom!!!

In the deafening roar of a Magic strike, the layers of Void around Wu Xiaode shattered, revealing the utterly dark abyss.

——That invisible word spell had almost killed him!

The Demon King frowned slightly, quickly saying:

"How can someone as foolish as you kill a Purgatory Demon? I don’t believe you."

Wu Xiaode said, "The real cannot be faked."

Boom!!!

The power that destroys everything hit him, instantly turning the Rock Giant into a shower of stones scattered across the sky.

Wu Xiaode returned to the sky once more.

Fat Sa shook his head and said, "Damn, the first sentence clearly won, so why did repeating it cause death again?"

Wu Xiaode’s gaze darkened, and he said softly, "Unless... the criterion has changed."

"The standard can change?" Fat Sa said incredulously.

If that was true, it would be far too terrifying.

Word spells were almost akin to Causality Law, and Causality Law generally indicates a fixed cause and effect.

For instance, once a certain action is taken, it will inevitably lead to a specific consequence.

Never heard that it could change.

Who could fight her?

——No wonder Ye Jiana was so desperate!

Wu Xiaode pondered:

"After she changed the standard, she deliberately asked me..."

"I didn’t know it was a trap; as soon as I said I had killed a demon of calamity, I immediately died."

"So the standard probably changed from ’those who have killed a more formidable enemy live’ to ’those who have killed a more formidable enemy die’, something like that, but what the real standard is remains uncertain."

"With such changes back and forth, it’s probably gone beyond the scope of the Causality Law."

"How about we just run away?" Ye Jiana suddenly said.

Wu Xiaode looked at her.

Her cheeks were slightly red, and she didn’t avoid his gaze, softly speaking, "No world has ever overcome it; take me with you, we’ll hide as long as we can."

"No, I’ll try again!"

After Wu Xiaode finished speaking, his form plummeted downward, once again attaching himself to a Rock Giant.

His own Rock Giants had already died twice over.

There weren’t many to begin with.

——I can’t afford to lose any more!

He walked over once again to face the Demon King.

The Demon King looked at him, her expression beginning to change.

"You——are another World Master, using the method of ’Summoning’ to fight against me," she said.

"Now that you know this, why don’t you just go die?" Wu Xiaode said.

The Butterfly Soul sword was drawn.

Wu Xiaode’s form flashed as he charged forward.

The Demon King immediately said:

"Just from your demeanor, I can tell you are a reckless person, certainly not having won by outsmarting others with thorough calculations."

An irresistible, terrifying force came hurtling towards him, holding Wu Xiaode suspended in mid-air.

——I am about to be killed!

But what is the rule?

I am a reckless person, never having won by cunning?

"Stop talking crap; I once saved an innocent life by proposing on one knee!" Wu Xiaode exclaimed.

The force that was nearly about to annihilate him suddenly disappeared.

The Demon King’s face looked as calm as still water, but a trace of cruel intention flashed in her eyes.

"You’ve figured out a bit... but what good is that?"

"I can change the rules anytime."

"No matter how many times you come at me, you only face death!"

Wu Xiaode clapped and said, "I truly admire you deep down, because this word spell surpasses the limits of ’anger,’ has overturned my understanding of the Causality Law, and has broadened my view, so I say—"

"Count me in."

In an instant.

Lines of ice crystal characters appeared before Wu Xiaode’s eyes:

"You chant the spell, activating your unique Causality Law Magic:"

"If you can’t beat them, join them."

"Effect:"

"In the opponent’s word spell, a 2P position for magic operation has been created for you."

"From now on, you can see the rules."

"Current rule:"

"Those who have never won by wits shall die."

"Rules are changing——"

Wu Xiaode remained silent, even deploying "Evernight City" to hide all the fluctuations of the Causality Law Skill from the opponent’s senses.

He then transmitted a message:

"Extreme Good, Judgement, Fat Sa, be ready to strike at any moment."

In the sky.

Two Angels and a dragon quietly accepted the command.

The success or failure hung in the balance now!

The Demon King opened her mouth and said, "My word spell can exterminate all beings; among them, not a few exceedingly clever individuals have managed to follow my word spell for a few rounds, but what’s the point?"

"After all, I am the one controlling the word spell; I can change it however I want."

"And you can’t attack me."

"——Death is just a matter of time for you."

"Let’s just see about that," Wu Xiaode raised his long sword, ready to pounce.

The Demon King immediately said:

"I’m not good in close combat, that’s the truth. In hand-to-hand fighting, I cannot compete with you."

A line of ice crystal characters appeared before Wu Xiaode’s eyes at the same time:

"The current rule set by the 1P player is:"

"The person who receives more sympathy and support will survive."

Receiving sympathy and support...

Can keep you alive?

In other words, if I’m stronger than the Demon King, I’ll immediately become less deserving of sympathy and will die?

This Demon King really is cunning, changing the rule to this.

But it doesn’t know one thing——

That Wu Xiaode had previously won due to the word spell, which only ensured his own survival.

Now Wu Xiaode also had a hand in the word spell.

If Wu Xiaode wins again——

It would be annihilated by the power of the word spell!

Wu Xiaode immediately sheathed the Butterfly Soul sword and said:

"I dare not; in truth, I never learned much as a child nor could afford to. Using a sword was a reluctant measure."

That omnipotent force that had just arisen began to disperse beside Wu Xiaode, hovering in mid-air and not moving.

The Demon King sneered, "Among Purgatory Demons, I belong to a relatively weak species and can be considered as one of the weaker individuals like you humans, so please respect me."

"I am also weak," Wu Xiaode retorted.

"But I have suffered many unjust accusations simply because I belong to that weaker species," said the Demon King.

Wu Xiaode froze.

That flavor of yours—it’s the taste of magic!

Are you sure you want to play this with me?

He didn’t have time to think it through because that mighty force was hurtling towards him again.

If he didn’t speak up, he would die!

Wu Xiaode took a deep breath and quickly said:

"I am an orphan, from an outside ethnic group, a minority, a vegetarian, an animal rights activist, an environmentalist, suffering from mania, part of a highly sensitive group of people, under the care of a psychiatrist, and as for my gender, it’s private—I don’t want to reveal too much."

The world fell silent.

In the sky, both Angels and Fat Sa were stunned, listening to his plea.

The next second.

The invisible mighty force surged forward with an unstoppable and decisive force toward the Demon King.

The Demon King could no longer maintain her original composure and full confidence; as she dealt with it with all her might, she screamed:

"Damn it! You’re tricking me!"

At the same time.

Wu Xiaode looked up to the sky and shouted:

"What are you waiting for, strike her down!"
