Capítulo 778: Chapter 75: Together We Conquer the Final Gate (Part 2)
“Cough cough, theoretically, no one can defeat Aine Hagar. But Isaiah is different… he has that possibility. He already has three Corpse Blocks, no, four… soon he’ll have mine. The first under the gods, and now he has four Corpse Blocks, his unpredictability is too great.” Diana said, “If Aine Hagar is defeated, if the Final Gate is shattered… then it will truly be the end, do you understand what I an?”
Hewinia still remained silent.
“Hehe… I’m being foolish too, you’ve already appeared in this place, there’s no need to say more about why you’re here.” Diana laughed mockingly, “But you can’t beat him, no one can stop him anymore, unless you’re the Hand Eye, but even if you’re Hand Eye, I still don’t know how you would stop Isaiah… ah, mother… no…”
Diana’s voice turned chaotic again, reverting to that of a wailing little girl.
And this ti it lasted so long that Hewinia even doubted whether she would co back.
Finally, the crying disappeared, and Diana’s voice was weakened to an extre.
“I am going to die.” she gently said, “My fingers are on the ground, soon to be found by Isaiah, then my life will completely end… but I can’t die yet, my things are not yet done…”
As she spoke, Hewinia heard a rustling sound, as if so large reptile was inching closer to her.
Hewinia imdiately grew alert.
“Don’t worry, I have no chance of hurting you anymore.” Diana said, “I’m here to help you leave, I know you’re there.”
Seeing that Diana could already pinpoint her location, Hewinia no longer remained silent, asking, “Why do you want to help ?”
“Oh, it’s actually a woman?” Diana’s weak voice held surprise, “Why would it be a woman… ah, I see, you’re the one Rocky ntioned… so that’s it, so that’s it… you’re not Hand Eye, nor Tongue, we all misjudged… but it doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter.”
Hewinia heard a long sigh.
“I ca to tell you one last thing, also the last chance to stop Isaiah.” Diana continued, “At the deepest part of the underground, in front of the Final Gate, there’s a deep well, there’s water in it, known as the Spring of Redemption.”
“The Spring of Redemption?” Hewinia asked, “What does it do?”
“It summons the gods.”
Hewinia’s pupils instantly contracted.
“The gods have long ceased to interfere with worldly affairs, even in the Contract Land they themselves built.” Diana said, “To let them know everything, it can only be through Aine Hagar’s death, the breaking of Visas’ seal, and… the prayer at the Spring of Redemption, and the latter will bring you the final salvation.”
Final salvation?
This na made Hewinia guess sothing.
“Anyone who reaches the mont before the Final Gate has already committed grave sins, and once the gods know, they will receive the harshest punishnt, the true Divine Punishnt.” Diana whispered, “But if willing to turn back, pray and repent to the Spring of Redemption, they will receive the final salvation. All sins will be cleaned, all past will be forgiven, and they will be granted magnificent divine grace, the gods will promise you whatever you desire.”
It was indeed like this, Hewinia had guessed correctly.
“In other words, as long as you reach the Spring of Redemption and pray to the gods, the gods will personally eliminate Isaiah.” Diana said, “And you will get everything, power, strength, wealth, anything you want, is not a problem.”
Hewinia asked, “Then why don’t you go?”
“Because the Contract Land is not on the final salvation list, when soone can reach the Spring of Redemption, there can only be one possibility, that is the Contract Land no longer exists.” Diana’s voice beca lower and lower, “Besides, I already can’t do anything… so, do you agree?”
Before Hewinia could speak, there was a sudden tremor, she looked up, and saw a skeleton-like thin yet towering figure suddenly lift up a collapsed pillar, making an opening for Hewinia to leave.
However, the opening led to the Abyss.
“How to choose is your own business.” Diana’s voice ca from within the skeleton, “To pray to the Spring of Redemption, or to topple that well and refuse salvation, it’s all none of my business. I am rely fulfilling the last contract of the Contract Land… leave here now.”
After a brief hesitation, Hewinia still managed to stand up and walked out of the opening created by Diana.
Then she wanted to say sothing more to Diana, but heard a sigh of relief instead.
“My mission, finally ended.”
“Mother, you really shouldn’t have given that finger.”
With that, the pillar fell with a crash, smashing Diana, the last servant, into several segnts.
When Hewinia looked back, she couldn’t feel any vitality anymore.
…
Whoosh whoosh.
A gust of wind blew open the piled-up black rubble, revealing a buried black skeleton, and the naless finger connected to the skeleton’s right hand.
“Finally found you, Miss Naless Finger.” Isaiah softly said, having summoned the wind, “You’ve really caused quite a bit of trouble.”
The skeleton was lifeless, its completely carbonized form made it impossible to see what it looked like in life, but Isaiah still slightly bowed his head, paying respect to this “never t” Miss Naless Finger.
The skeleton naturally had no response.
However, Isaiah still bent down, using his hands instead of clever spells to peel the finger off the skeleton.
But at the mont he touched the finger, Isaiah still felt a faint energy fluctuation, couldn’t help but show a bit of surprise.
This finger was still being used a few minutes ago.
So, Diana was alive until a few minutes ago? And not only alive, she even used the power of the [Contract].
Even at that point, she was still thinking about doing sothing?
Isaiah chuckled.
Such a troubleso person, it would have been nice if she weren’t an opponent.
Co on, let’s see what else you have prepared for .
Isaiah attached the finger, then walked slowly to a desolate area, raising his hand.
Left middle finger, right Thumb, naless finger, Right Eye.
[Termination], [Disturbance], [Contract], [Eternity].
The four great rules all belonged to him alone.
But Isaiah did not show any joy, instead, an inexplicable… relief.
“Is that so?” he murmured softly, “Is that really so.”
No one knew what “so” ant, and he had no one to explain to.
In the endless desolation, he bent his sowhat lonely body, pressing his hand onto the ground.
And then lightly exerted force.
Rumble rumble.
The ground collapsed, revealing the covered Abyss Prison again in his view.
He had finally arrived here.
In Isaiah’s previous most extre “Darkness”, the sealed creatures below had almost entirely perished, yet so remained.
Isaiah saw them.
They were those who slept even deeper underground.
They were deceased gods, more terrifying ancient beings, they were second only to Aine Hagar, entities even Diana couldn’t bind.
But Isaiah ca, he slit his wrist, letting his blood drip into the Abyss, onto those indescribably throbbing hearts.
The slumbering hearts resud beating, one beat after another, as if even the earth quaked in sync.
Scarlet eyes opened one after another, like another night sky.
“Let’s see how far I can go.” Isaiah chuckled and said.
“Beasts, submit to my [Contract], acknowledge as your master.”
“Together we shall… besiege the Final Gate.”
