Chapter 199 -198: Death Won’t Make Me Back Down
Indeed, those red lights that looked like snakes were actually a form of energy!
However, this energy was much stronger than she had anticipated; in just over ten seconds, the Ouroboros began to tremble, signifying that the energy it had accumulated had reached its limit. Ge Wei didn’t hesitate and immediately opened the release channel of the secret Divine Artifact. A light ring of the same size appeared above her head, radiating red light, and for a moment, the income and expenditure of energy achieved a brief balance.
The surviving soldiers, upon seeing this scene, rushed towards her rear like they had found a lifeline, quickly forming a “long dragon” behind the Executive Priest. The problem was that the Ouroboros could only absorb the red light coming from the front; it had no time to deal with the red light squeezing in from the back, so the soldiers at the end were still swallowed up, their brains crawling out to gnaw on their nearest comrades.
The army, which had been orderly at first, had now completely descended into chaos. The scene was filled with endless screams of terror, moans of pain, and cries of despair, as people, desperate to survive, even pushed comrades who had secured a safe position out of bounds, even though they knew this act would not truly save them— it merely allowed them to cling to life for just a bit longer.
Now the only person who remembered their mission and knew what they had to do was Ge Wei herself.
When she reached the edge of the minefield, she took a step and leapt, entrusting her body to gravity.
Only then did she see the full picture beneath her feet.
The perpetually lingering fog was now reduced to just a few thin wisps, looking more like sparse clouds from above. Directly below the minefield was a huge pit, into which underground water was pouring furiously. The land they were on was a conical mass that fit perfectly into the pit, with severed mine tunnels and red-hot Glowing Stone Veins visible on the surface.
This floating mass of rock was estimated to be six to seven hundred meters tall, with a gigantic fissure at the bottom that at a glance seemed as if the tip of the cone had torn open the sky. The interior of the fissure was chaotic beyond measure, with blood-like flames flowing out as if the sky were crying.
Seeing this, Ge Wei’s heart sank slightly—this fissure was at least several hundred meters long and twenty to thirty meters wide. If this was the source of the anomaly, its scale greatly increased the difficulty of destruction. The Ouroboros had a limited capacity to absorb energy, at most only the equivalent of a dozen or so eight-inch naval cannons.
But then she smiled broadly.
Why show a gloomy face before the enemy? The more desperate the situation, the more one should laugh. A morale sinking in despair only nourishes the enemy, only madness can resist the infiltration of the Evil God’s will.
As her body fell parallel to the fissure, Ge Wei closed the Ouroboros’s absorption channel—now, there was only one thing she had to do, and that was to fire all the stored energy!
“Come on!”
The secret Divine Artifact responded to her will, the cross opening to both sides and completely merging with her arms. The Ouroboros, while sucking on her flesh, opened its firing channel. This time, there would be no limit to the flesh Ge Wei provided; the flesh on her cheeks visibly withered and paled at a visible rate.
At the same time, the blood-red fissure seemed to sense the threat, and tens of thousands of crimson snakes surged out from the top of the cone, lunging towards Ge Wei.
In the face of these twisted red lights, Ge Wei’s face showed no fear. She thrust out her chest and, with a wild laugh, unleashed her final attack.
A ball of extremely bright fire ignited at the front of the cross, starting out like a pearl before rapidly expanding to nearly ten meters in diameter. The extreme heat not only turned the silver cross shell red-hot but also set the Priest’s hair on fire!
When this strike, comparable to ten naval cannons, fired, it was as if thunder exploded in the sky! A high-temperature stream of air formed a beam, shooting directly towards the top of the cone, the center of the fissure. The surrounding air, ignited by the surging energy, made a series of cracking and popping sounds.
The fissure was blasted open at the moment of impact— it was as if a piece of the sky had been restored. The substance of chaos spilled out from this opening, like the blood of the Evil God.
Then Ge Wei heard an extremely angry roar. It seemed to rise from within her soul yet also to exist in reality—this was perhaps an illusion as consciousness began to fade since humans cannot truly understand the Primordial Gods, nor do they possess human emotions. But at this moment, she had no strength left to distinguish truth from fantasy.
The spreading crimson light finally engulfed Ge Wei completely, yet it did not cause her brain to burst forth from her body. Before that, she had already sacrificed herself to her battle companion, leaving her body nothing more than a withered husk, and the already-dead harbor no fear of the Evil God.
Thus, like a dried leaf, she fell with Ouroboros into the dark pit below.
…
Ailuodi, suspended in the sky, witnessed everything, but alas, it all happened too quickly, and she couldn’t fly to the edge of the minefield in time. More critically, the red lights creeping along the ground were still spreading outward, with no signs of stopping. From her high vantage point, they formed a practically symmetrical, ever-expanding circle.
She dived sharply downward, returning to the vehicle’s side, and leaped into the driver’s compartment to wrench the steering wheel to the left, “We can no longer head east; we must return to Magnificent Castle first!”
“How far can this crimson light chase us?” Chaoyang naturally also saw the situation at the minefield through the Angel’s eyes, “It can’t possibly cover the city as well, can it?”
“No, it certainly will cover it,” Leisk corrected, “I don’t know what has happened at the bottom of the mine, but this aura of the Evil God doesn’t lie, they have truly opened a pathway to the mortal world, giving the Evil God an opportunity to descend upon us in physical form!”
He grabbed the Fog Horn in his hands once more.
According to the speed at which the red light was crawling, it would take less than an hour to swallow Magnificent Castle. The Paradise Master’s Divine Envoy did possess unbelievable powers, but the time left for him was woefully short. In merely an hour, nobody could come up with a reliable countermeasure, especially when their enemy was an Evil God ready to descend at any moment.
Just then, Leisk saw Chaoyang in the front seat turn around and reach out toward him!
What is he doing?
Could it be—

Before the most terrifying thought could spring to mind, he felt the world spin as if a bottomless black hole had appeared beneath his feet, drawing everything around him into it.
His vision went completely dark in an instant.
This period of time seemed both very long and very short.
When the light returned, Leisk couldn’t wait to open his eyes, ready to blow the horn.
But there was nothing beside his hand.
Leisk broke out in a cold sweat and sat up abruptly.
All around him was serene silence, no sight of wild hills nor the steely, whimsical windows. He found himself lying on a bed, the vehicle’s cabin replaced by a spacious, bright room. The walls and ceiling were immaculately white, not because they were inherently so, but because the light source above bathed them to seem as pure as snow. Leisk had never seen such a radiant white light; only the divinities’ radiance in his memories could compare, and this extreme purity compelled an urge to kneel in reverence.
Could it be… he was too late?
Magnificent Castle had been destroyed by the Evil God, and his soul had returned to the Divine Envoy of the Hidden Mist’s divine realm?
