Chapter 398: Evil God
Ace held a potato roll smeared with cream sauce in her right hand, and a small cup of milk tea in her left, savoring it slowly with a sip and a bite.
“Delicious!”
“So delicious!”
She beamed, like a naive child tasting something delicious, her face full of pure joy.
But Barrow dared not be careless in the slightest, he had once felt the extreme malice emanating from this ‘girl’.
Evil!
Chaos!
That was Ace’s true nature.
“It seems I am the true child of destiny,” licking the cream from the corner of her mouth, Ace said slowly:
“Although I don’t believe in destiny, being the first to revive in this era means possessing everything.”
“Mmm…”
She took another bite of the potato roll, looking pleased:
“Although the bodies of mortals are very weak, their minds are full of imagination, I had never eaten such delicious things back then.”
“Then please, eat slowly.” Barrow smiled and ordered some more snacks, filling the table:
“We’re not in a hurry.”
He quietly moved his feet, gently rubbing them on the ground.
This was a signal method required of the Night Watchmen, with no energy fluctuations but capable of being detected by the organization.
Ace seemed not to notice his small movements, smiling as she savored the delicious food in her hand, even letting out a small burp.
“Comfortable!”
“It was worth being trapped for so many years.”
“This continent was so well transformed by those few deities, but now it will all come to me for nothing.”
“Mmm…”
As if thinking of something, she tapped her finger on the table, and a piece of paper filled with words appeared out of thin air.
“Little one.”
She looked at Barrow:
“Read what’s on there.”
“…Yes.” Barrow took the paper expressionlessly, though unwilling, he had no choice but to read:
“Source of chaos, stream of desire, lord of life, death, and reincarnation…”
Huh?
Why does this feel so familiar.
It’s like Professor Karl also made me read something similar.
These are the divine names of the ancient god Ace, then what did Professor Karl make me read?
Barrow felt a strange unease, but did not notice that Ace’s expression was growing colder and her face was becoming more somber.
“Enough!”
Her voice deepened:
“That’s truly damned!”
“Uh…” Barrow stopped reading:
“What’s wrong?”
“It seems that the human emperor not only indirectly killed the gods by swallowing the God-Slaying Spear,” the ancient god Ace said in a cold voice:
“He also made some modifications to you humans, making the creatures of this continent apathetic towards faith, making it difficult for deities to gain faith through you.”
“What a move!”
“To be able to modify all living beings, no wonder he could kill the gods, this person is probably not ordinary either.”
Without faith, for deities, it is equivalent to having no source of power, and they can never become stronger.
However…
“It doesn’t matter!”
Ace chuckled, her voice cold:
“We can just start over, in the history of the gods, world-destroying calamities happen every so often.”
As long as she obtains the divine power left behind by the six Upper Followers, she can stand at the peak of this continent.
At that time,
She can just create a world-destroying calamity, and then create new humans, which is nothing for a sixth-order peak powerhouse.
Moreover,
If all goes well, she may very well become a seventh-order.
“What a cute little girl.”
A stall owner, who had no idea when he had arrived, greeted Ace with a smile:
“Can I take a picture?”
“Take a picture?” Ace raised an eyebrow.
“Yes.” The stall owner smiled:
“My child has always been unwilling to have children, saying that children are troublesome, I want him to see that there are still cute children like you.”
“Maybe after seeing it, he will be willing to have children.”
“No need.” Barrow quickly stood up, waving his hand:
“You go about your business.”
“Don’t be like that.” Ace put down the things in her hand:
“Come on.”
Barrow’s movements froze.
The stall owner glanced at the two of them strangely, in his opinion, Barrow should be the little girl’s father, or at least an uncle or other elder, he never expected that the one making the decisions would be the little girl.
“Okay then.”
After hesitating for a moment, the stall owner took out a camera, found a suitable angle, and pressed the button at Ace.
“Click!”
This was an instant camera, and the photo slid out from below.
The stall owner caught the photo, looked down and was stunned, there was no little girl in the photo, only…
“Uh…”
“Bang!”
The stall owner’s body trembled, and suddenly shattered into a shower of blood, as if a high-explosive bomb hidden inside his body had been ignited.
Mortals cannot directly look upon a god!
“Ah!”
“What’s going on?”
“…”
◈◈◈
On the bustling street, such a scene suddenly unfolded, and the passing pedestrians were immediately scared and began to scream wildly.
“What are you screaming about?”
Ace roared:
“All of you, go die!”
“Die!”
As the word ‘die’ left her mouth, the scene suddenly fell silent, and then one figure after another silently fell to the ground.
“You!”
Barrow’s face was ashen, and he glared at Ace, gritting his teeth:
“Why?”
“Because it’s interesting.”
Ace jumped down from the chair, and paced among the corpses with her hands behind her back:
“Humans, other than providing faith to the gods, are only qualified to be toys.”
“That’s better!”
“…” Barrow’s body trembled, looking at the corpses all over the ground, he felt only a deep sense of powerlessness, and finally sighed and stepped forward to follow her.
“You killed Blaze and Monica?”
“How could I?” Ace smiled and shook her head:
“I did make a curse, but Monica is a member of the Blood Clan, the mortal enemy of the gods, of course, I can’t let her off easily.”
“They are in a chaotic and distorted place where they don’t have to worry about survival.”
“Huh?”
Ace frowned:
“Did I do something wrong?”
“Never mind.”
“It doesn’t matter!”
With her current strength, in an era where the gods have already fallen, there is nothing that can threaten her.
…………
Scroll World.
Because it was sealed in the core area of the battle between two deities, and Ace casually put a layer of a barrier that was lost in ancient times, the flow of time inside was different from the outside world.
Blaze and Monica were cutting down trees and building a wooden house in the forest, with a small stream not far away.
There were fish in the stream, animals in the forest, and trees full of fruit, they didn’t have to worry about food or drink.
The two lay on self-made rocking chairs, leisurely looking at the sky.
“Days of freedom…”
Monica smiled:
“It’s actually not bad.”
“Yes.” Blaze nodded:
“I’d rather live here forever, although monotonous, it’s fulfilling.”
“Darling.” Monica touched her slightly bulging belly:
“I’ve gained weight these days.”
“Maybe you’re pregnant.” Blaze turned his head:
“Only the belly?”
“It’s impossible to get pregnant.” Monica shook her head:
“We are cursed by the gods, we can never have offspring, our ancestors tried everything, but they could only breed inferior Blood Clans, those ‘vampires’ who cannot see the sun.”
“Is that so?” Blaze didn’t take it to heart:
“Maybe there will be an accident, I’m really looking forward to the birth of our child.”

The Academy.
“Ace.”
Barrow’s face was grim:
“Why did you come here?”
Looking at the college students coming and going, their faces full of vigor, he noticed that a layer of black death energy had been applied to them.
If something happened here…
Barrow’s heart jumped.
“Although I don’t like wizards, I do agree with one of their sayings,” Ace said, licking a lollipop:
“Knowledge is power!”
“I was imprisoned for too many years, even though I learned some things from the Singer of Praises’ memories, I still missed too much.”
“Coming here is just right to make up for the missing things.”
As she spoke.
The two had already entered the library.
It was class time, and there were not many people in the library, and when they reached the third floor of the literature and history section, there were even fewer people.
“Barrow.”
A familiar voice sounded:
“Why did you come here?”
“Professor Karl!”
Barrow turned his head, quickly signaling with his eyes:
“I have something to do, you go about your business.”
