Chapter 1117: Chapter 864: Jumping into the Afterlife World

"Yan Duo—" A mournful cry rang out, audible even from this distance.

The melancholy sunlight shone on Elride’s ice-blue corpse, as if draping it in a golden shroud.

One of Yan Duo’s brothers had fallen forever; such a union as the six brothers would never be again. Farosa mused. It’s true that Yan Duo should stay away from this matter; if Yan Duo had fought alongside his brothers, he would be even sadder and more tormented.

Farosa caressed her blade, the truth was even more brutal, it was true fratricide. Because the blade of the Godslayer Weapon was made from the right hand of "Nether Land" Pomorty, it was as if Pomorty himself pierced Elride’s heart.

Apart from the Netherworld Giant God’s right hand, another material for the Godslayer Weapon was the vertebra of a gigantic beast from a different space, which had crossed the world’s border, invaded the Moonlight Forest, and was slain by Mond, who removed its spine.

The giant’s hand, the beast’s spine, both were extraordinary creations, Mond personally united them with Moonlight Flame, forging it right beneath Farosa’s feet, on Mount Kuro. Over a thousand people worked for 20 years to mold the Godslayer Weapon, cooling it off with the foam from the sea water at 7 AM, and finally it became the unparalleled divine artifact in Farosa’s hand.

Truly marvelous. To wield such power at whim, Farosa thought to herself.

Enduring, hiding, honing her skills for so long, finally having the chance to hunt the gods down one by one, driving them from their former thrones, replacing them with the Witch’s dominion.

If it weren’t for the presence of Soul of Gold Chryses, Farosa would reclaim Elride’s frosty body for other purposes.

But now, she must show adequate mourning and respect.

"Please accept my condolences." Farosa said.

"I can’t help but feel sorrowful." Chryses sighed.

"..." Easter trembled in sorrow.

Chryses cradled the dead Elride’s hand, his shining golden shoulders silently weeping, still stained with his brother’s blue blood.

Other creatures around the two giants seemed as insignificant as ants.

"I will send Elride’s body back to the Northern Archipelago, Yan Duo should personally bury him." Chryses’ voice was filled with pain and sadness.

"...Thank you for the trouble." Farosa nodded.

Chryses glanced at the massive crack in Elride’s chest, wanting to say something but unable to do so.

"I know that kind of sorrow...! The feeling of losing family... like losing a part of yourself. How can one alleviate such grief?" Easter grasped the nearest Cyber Specter’s mechanical arm, her tone was bitter.

"No matter what is said or done, the wound cannot heal, the only thing you can do is offer comfort here..." Cyber Specter said.

"Yes!" Easter looked at Chryses with encouraging eyes.

"The rest is up to you." Chryses used his strong arms to lift the heavy corpse of Elride.

When he stood up, the ground shifted dramatically, unable to bear the weight of the two giant gods.

Subsequently, Chryses was enveloped in a radiant golden light, disappearing along with Elride gradually in this world.

"I can’t imagine what Yan Duo’s feelings will be when he sees Elride’s body," Farosa said softly.

"Yan Duo will recover... eventually." Cyber Specter said.

Cyber Specter checked messages from around the world, temperatures were warming globally, ice and snow melting.

The cold wave that troubled the world vanished forever, restoring the previously compressed space for human activity.

He modeled rapidly, receiving promising results.

In the coming month, the average temperature will rise by 10 degrees Celsius, ice caps will shrink, sea levels will rise, deserts will regain greenery, the world gradually healing...

Given time, the icy northern regions will gradually warm, ice and snow melt, permafrost thaws, and regions like Hot Tree Continent, Taiya Archipelago, Jialong Slope, Agave Continent will resume their scorching climates.

People will rebuild homes and farms, grow crops, raise livestock, return to normal life, resulting in a significant increase in food production, and formerly endangered flora and fauna will flourish once again!

Winter is gone, summer returns. The entire world is restored to warmth, the terrifying winter and cold wave are now past.

"Code ’Winter’ has been destroyed, report, code ’Winter’ has been destroyed, this year’s task quota has been completed," Yao Guang turned to report to the Corporate Alliance.

Her task was to represent the Corporate Alliance to eliminate Ancient Mystics everywhere, now basking in the glory of defeating Elride, gaining significant achievements.

The Albruck Sky-Carrier also set sail back, having successfully defeated the Frost Giant God, a major achievement, worth well-promoting to make the fine deeds known.

Given time, the entire world will know that the members of Mt. Kuro’s Expedition Team have removed a major threat to humanity!

"Though fraternal contention is sorrowful, we stopped Elride and saved the world," Easter clenched her fist and turned to Farosa, "Thank you! You protected the entire world! You helped us kill the Frost Giant God!"

Her voice was pure and innocent, her gaze passionately fixed on Farosa.

"It was your credit, you dealt great damage to Elride with the explosive Magic Power, giving us the chance," Farosa spoke casually, her tone softened.

"You’re right, perhaps we are a great team!" Easter was overjoyed.

Farosa sheathed the Godslayer Weapon, for some reason, her attitude towards Easter wasn’t as hostile as at the beginning.

"You should return to the Seven Seals now," Farosa said.

"Seven Seals? They don’t need me, but your work here needs assistance," Easter said.

Farosa pondered for a moment. Her kind side seemed to evoke a fondness in Easter.

"Then will you follow me?" Farosa suddenly asked, "You... Easter, are you willing to follow me from now on?"

"Hmm?" Easter was curious.

"I’m a good person now," Farosa continued, "Didn’t you hate me before because you thought I would destroy the world? If I’m willing to save the world, would you then work with me?"

"Work with you?" Easter widened her eyes, "What are we going to do?"

"Below," Farosa said.

"Ah—" Easter mused, "—that’s not impossible."

"There’s still a giant god to destroy," Farosa pointed underground, "Let’s go."

Farosa wielded the Godslayer Weapon, cutting open the entrance to the Tunnel of the Underworld once more, almost tearing down the entire Mount Kuro. Wind of gloom and death breathed out from the passage.

The remaining five members of the Mt. Kuro’s Expedition Team gathered around the fissure, their attitudes solemn.

The Afterlife World is not a place for leisure. Farosa thought. Ghosts abound, rules are hard to find.

Ordinary people, once dead, their souls are drawn to the Afterlife World. But for us, if we fall in the Afterlife World, what then?

"...Can you withstand the power of the Afterlife World?" Farosa wrapped herself tightly in the Rainbow Cloak, many feathers had faded.

"I’m indifferent," the Cyber Specter was a robot.

"I have many charms to protect myself." Easter took out various death-preventing charms and vitality accessories enchanted with magic from underneath her cloak, allowing her to adventure in different scenarios.

"I’m already dead, this is a place I was meant to go to," Wei Shiyue walked to the side of the fissure, her silver hair cascading down.

Finally, only Yao Guang was left uncertain.

"I don’t know," Yao Guang was somewhat troubled, but optimistic, "I have no experience entering the Afterlife World, but people say the first time is the hardest, and you get used to it after. If I break into the Afterlife World today, maybe it will be smooth sailing for me here when I die later."

"For witches, death is very difficult, I will keep you safe," Farosa took a deep breath.

"Let’s go, defeating the Frost Giant God is just the first step, next we must conquer death and reshape the order of life and death," Cyber Specter moved to the edge of the fissure, ready to delve to the bottom of the Tunnel of the Underworld, heading straight for the Afterlife World.

Between life and death lies great terror... and what they now have to do is conquer life and death itself!

"Go!" Easter felt her blood boiling, joyfully gripping her Magic Short Staff.

Farosa really wanted to know what exactly shaped Easter’s character, innocent yet saintly, pure yet kind, completely opposite to Farosa, yet carrying genuine Witch Empress-level power. Did she have no family? Who are her family anyway?

Before she could think it through, Farosa was the first to leap into the Afterlife World.

——!

The twisting gravity made her descent velocity vary, she felt as if she was falling for a kilometer, but didn’t feel injured upon hitting the ground.

Is this... the world after death? Farosa looked around.

Death is not the destruction of life, but a change of location!

The "Afterlife World" was dark and gloomy, with clouds of sorrow, just as she imagined.

Here there seemed to be only eternal torment and despair, smoke and ashes filled the sky, with no hint of light, her four companions jumped down one after another, landing with not very happy expressions.

This place was too eerie.

The earth had many cracks, desolate to the extreme, only barren rocks, no soil. The Mount Kuro they came from was already a dry lifeless mountain, and this Afterlife World was even more barren.

The air was thick and murky, Farosa turned to see countless floating ghosts journeying along the scarlet Styx River, like a mass of slaves, monitored by the Bird of Death, who ensured they dared not slow down.

Souls seemed to be the Bird of Death’s food, and they occasionally swooped into the roaming soul group, picking out sacrifices, the poor souls had no chance to resist, getting caught, torn apart, and devoured by the Bird of Death, having already died once in life, and now facing destruction once more in the Afterlife World!

"Caw caw!"

"Move faster!"

"Don’t stop!" The Bird of Death’s stern like overseers, urging dead souls to move along the Styx River without any pause, any slow ghosts risked being killed by the Bird of Death. They seemed to hold great power here.

"It’s too horrible, too hollow here." Easter said sadly.

Farosa was very grateful to Easter for speaking up, the oppression here almost made everything deafeningly silent.

She looked towards the Styx River, the Expedition Team jumped down from the "Tunnel of the Underworld," while most souls drifted over from the Styx River.

The whole river was filled with thick, undissolvable blood, once the souls crawled ashore from the blood water, they would proceed along the banks, forming an endless queue, without knowing their destination.

"So many dead people... the atmosphere is thick with death." Wei Shiyue observed.

"This world sees an average of 300,000 deaths per day," Cyber Specter said.

Endless ghosts joined the Afterlife World, moving along the river.
