Chapter 353 Goodbye Randall.

Li En pushed open the heavy, gilded palace door, and the scent of sandalwood mixed with the stench of blood wafted towards him.

Emma's seven-colored hair, like spilled paint, cascaded across the peacock-blue throne, the ends of which reflected fragmented iridescent light on the golden nanmu wood floor.

Emma's fingernails dug deeply into the armrests of the throne, and the spiderweb-like red threads in her bloodshot eyes trembled, reflecting the crystal chandelier hanging upside down from the dome.

"Li-En-Mo-Li-Ya-"

Emma pronounced Li En's name, word by word.

“You killed my beloved Constantine, you killed my grandfather, you killed my husband Augustus.”

"Queen Emma, ​​I am deeply sorry for what happened to you."

Li En smelled a familiar yet unfamiliar scent.

There's a vampire aura about her; has Emma become a vampire?
Vampires are infertile, so what's with her protruding belly?

Besides the scent of vampires, there was another peculiar yet familiar and terrifying smell.

Li En had smelled this scent before, once in Yusofa, once in Mary's Black Rose Castle—the scent of the fallen angel Abel.

How could Emma have His aura on her? Wasn't it said that He took away all the gifts and descended through Randall's body?

Why Emma and not Randall?

If He chose Emma, ​​then where did Randall go?

No, Randall's presence is here too!
what on earth is it?

Is the child in Emma's womb the union of Randall and the fallen angel Abel?
So, where did all the gifts go? If the gifts are here, Li En's [Gift Radar] entry should show something.

But the current situation is that the radar is not responding.

The only thing Li En was certain of was that the child in Emma's womb was definitely not of Augulas and Emma's blood, and the risk factor might even exceed that of the legendary knight Seth Frank.

A combination of the evil god Abel and Randall? What kind of monster would that be?

Augulas must not have known the full truth about Emma's unborn child, otherwise he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to commit suicide.

Of course, there is also the completely opposite scenario: Augulas already knew everything. Emma's decision to have the child born meant mutual destruction and still could not save the Frank family's dynasty, so he chose to die and end it all.

No wonder he smiled before he died; that meaningful smile showed that he had already foreseen his mindset when he saw Emma.

I have been too lenient with Augulas. This young emperor should be judged by everyone and die amidst everyone's contempt, just like Mary.

Upon learning that Emma was pregnant with the evil god, Li En did not hesitate to activate the legendary knight domain belonging to Seth Frank.

The entire city of Yalong expanded outwards from the royal palace, quickly becoming part of a labyrinth.

Emma's belly swelled up rapidly, as if the fetus sensed danger and wanted to be born as soon as possible.

Emma's face was losing color rapidly, her moist skin was becoming dry and withered, and her once full body resembled a wilted flower.

The fetus is rapidly absorbing Emma's energy, hoping to strengthen itself and quickly enter this world.

Emma seemed to have anticipated this. She rushed towards Li En, intending to bite off his neck or extract energy from his blood.

She appeared beside Li En like a ghost, revealing the sharp fangs of a vampire.

Just as the sharp teeth were about to bite through Li En's neck, Li En's figure disappeared.

The palace has been transformed into a labyrinth, and within that labyrinth, Li En is the omnipotent being.

"Lyon Moria!"

Emma hissed from her throat, her eyes scanning the surroundings with venom.

Li En was no longer in the palace; she needed to drink blood to quickly gain energy.

So she rushed toward the nearest servant.

But as she approached, a wall suddenly blocked her way.

She turned around, and another wall blocked her way.

Immediately, the walls on all sides rapidly closed in, sealing her in a small, enclosed space, preventing her from seeing anyone.

"Damn it, what have you done to this place?"

Emma roared, the pain in her abdomen making her anxious.

Her body became increasingly thin, and her abdomen became increasingly protruding.

Li En knew she absolutely could not allow her "child" to be born smoothly; she had to stop it all.

Blood beads seeping from the stone wall meandered into runes on the moss, and Li En's fingertips dug into his palm.

A sticky, fetal movement sound came from deep within the maze, and scale-like protrusions appeared on Emma's swollen belly.

The wall cracked open with a spiderweb-like pattern, and dozens of rusty bayonets squeezed out from the cracks. The rust dripping from the blades instantly turned into living things, twisting and lunging at Emma's belly.

Li En knew that she had to stop Emma's "child" from being born!
Emma let out a shriek that was beyond human comprehension, the scraping sound of her fingernails against the wall mixed with the acrid grating of metal against metal.

The longest bayonet had sliced ​​through the gorgeous gown, but suddenly softened upon touching the skin.

Lee En saw an eye split open at Emma's navel, its scarlet pupil devouring the blade.

He bit his tongue fiercely, and the blood-soaked incantation caused half of the labyrinth's dome to collapse, with broken bricks raining down on the writhing mass of flesh.

Emma suddenly tilted her head back and gave a wicked smile, her abdominal skin appearing as transparent as melted wax.

The moment the bayonet pierced through, dark purple blood vessels emerged from her abdominal cavity, shredding the blade into iron filings.

As Li En stepped back, he stepped on something sticky and slippery; the purplish-black tissue was climbing up his ankle.

"what is this?"

Unbeknownst to them, these blood vessel-like structures had broken through the blockade and quietly found Li En.

Li En swung Enzo and severed that section of blood vessel.

Yes, those are blood vessels extending from Emma's abdomen!
They were spreading out, pulling Emma's body upside down.

Dark purple veins wriggled and grew on the dome of the maze, and Emma's upside-down body resembled a butterfly stuck in a spider web.

As her pale toes brushed against the damp air, tiny beads of blood seeped from the cracks in the bluestone slabs.

Umbilical cord-like blood vessels are constantly covering the maze, and anyone who comes into contact with them will have their blood drained and turn into a dried-up corpse.

The queen's guard knight suddenly froze, a translucent vein piercing his ear canal.

A gurgling sound like drowning came from his throat, and his skin collapsed at a visible speed until only his armor remained, covering his curled-up skeleton, as he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The stone brick floor began to gleam with an oily sheen, and new blood vessels emerged from the eye sockets of each mummified corpse, like countless scarlet saplings growing wildly in a maze.

Emma's skirt suddenly moved without wind, and the network of blood vessels formed pulsating amniotic membranes around her.

To stop Emma, ​​Li En used the maze to quickly send Cobb and the other revolutionaries out of Augulas' castle.

A raging fire broke out inside the castle, turning the castle's spires a dark red, and the vines climbing the stone walls twisted and trembled in the heat.

The purple veins gleamed eerily with a viscous sheen in the firelight, meandering out from the hem of Emma's skirt like vines awakened from their slumber. At first, these lifelike veins would shrink back, curling up in the heat, but they quickly unfurled, ignoring the crackling of the burning flesh, and continued to wriggle forward.

The veins wove together into a crimson vine ball, protecting Emma within and blocking the flames from harming her.

Realizing that fire attacks were ineffective against these blood vessels, Li En decided to try a different approach.

The flames inside the castle vanished rapidly, and the temperature plummeted. A sudden, heavy snowfall began to fall within the maze, and the ground froze at a visible speed.

The image of the Frost Giant was reflected in Emma's blood-red pupils as she hung upside down in mid-air.

Two armored frost giants, the labyrinth guards, are gradually approaching Emma.

The maze guards are inanimate; even if they are entangled in blood vessels, they will not have their blood or life force drained.

But as soon as they get close to Emma, ​​they are attacked by these blood vessels.

The Frost Giant swung its axe, attempting to cut the vine ball connected by blood vessels and break through Emma's defenses.

But the moment the axe was swung, the two frost giants were attacked by countless blood vessels and turned into upside-down decorations hanging from a spider web.

The Frost Giant exploded with a deafening roar, and the frost power of the explosion froze all the blood vessels, including the vine ball that wrapped around Emma and Emma herself.

The annoying fetal movements suddenly stopped.

"efficient."

Li En let out a long breath.

I almost thought Seth Frank's maze wasn't working.

However, there is a drawback to using Seth Frank's Labyrinth Domain: you yourself must be split in two, just like Seth Frank.

The main body must be integrated with the maze to be controlled.

The clones are responsible for restraining the enemy.

The one attacked by the blood vessels was Li En's clone.

The palace was quickly frozen into a crystal palace, with temperatures dropping to -20 degrees Celsius, making it completely unsuitable for human survival, let alone production.

But Emma is not an ordinary pregnant woman, and the baby in her belly is definitely not an ordinary person either.

Emma broke free of the ice after being frozen for only 30 seconds.

She lost even more weight, almost completely draining herself of energy and nutrients, leaving only skin covering her bones. Her former beauty was gone, and she looked both haggard and terrifying.

Looking at Emma now, who could imagine that she and Dorothy were once the most dazzling jewels of the empire?

But now is not the time for lamentation. Li En's eyelids twitched slightly as he controlled the maze to begin spinning.

The ground began to tremble, and the bricks and soil reformed like flowing liquid. The maze shrank at an alarming rate, shrinking from the entire city of Arlong to the royal palace.

Only by narrowing the scope sufficiently could Li En concentrate all his power to deal with Emma and the "evil god" about to be born in her womb.

The ground beneath Li En's feet began to writhe as if alive, and the stone slabs beneath his feet started to undulate rhythmically.

The castle's high walls emitted a teeth-grinding grinding sound as bricks detached from their original positions and rearranged themselves in mid-air.

The castle spire was the first to be lifted off the ground, followed by the entire building being uprooted.

In the blink of an eye, the upside-down buildings and the world are suspended above Emma's head.

This is Lee En imitating Seth Frank's manipulation of mazes.

His arm slowly fell to his sides, as if a god were delivering judgment.

In an instant, the entire world, hanging upside down in the sky, emitted a deafening roar and began to disintegrate.

The massive brick and stone structures, weighing tens of thousands of tons, regained their weight and hurtled towards Emma like a meteorite.

Emma's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints, reflecting the horrifying scene of the castle collapsing.

"The power of the labyrinth, Li En, you have obtained the power of the legendary knight Seth Frank, you thief."

Emma's voice was incredibly weak, yet filled with rage.

"You know this now, but it's too late."

Lee's words sounded like a final judgment on Emma.

Emma's blood-red eyes were filled with resentment. She decided to burn the last of her life force to bring the "child" in her womb into the world immediately.

She felt it was all worth it if she could kill her most hated enemy, Lyon Moriah.

As for whether the world will be flooded after her death, that's not something she cares about at all.

She had no attachment to the world anymore.

Only her hatred for Li En and Dorothy sustained her life.

"Randall! Avenge me!"

After uttering her last words, Emma's life was completely extinguished. Her pupils dimmed, and her withered body was wrapped in blood vessels like a puppet.

And a brand new heartbeat echoed through the maze.

Bang, bang, bang—

The baby broke through the abdomen of its "mother," Emma, ​​and emerged from it.

With his snow-white skin, bright eyes, and white teeth, he looked extremely cute, as perfect as an elf.

He is Randall, the youngest pope in the Holy Empire.

"It's you?"

Li En looked at Randall suspiciously. It wasn't Abel!
He's not a hybrid of Randall and Abel, he's just Randall!
what on earth is it?

How did Randall manage to evade the evil god and the gift, and thus be reborn within Emma in this way?

Randall's body rapidly grew from an infant to a teenager to a young adult, eventually returning to his original form.

“Lyon Moria, we meet again.”

Randall's expression was cold and arrogant, just as it had been when he first met Li En.

"Randall, how did you do that?"

Lee En asked.

"Are you the only one allowed to deceive fate?"

Randall said calmly, "However, I haven't come away unscathed either. I lost all my gifts and divinity, and I've also been tainted by some of Abel's aura. That's bad enough. But you, on the other hand, not only gained the domain ability of a legendary knight, but also possess divinity. You are indeed a terrifying opponent."

"Randall. The Mouth of Deception has deceived you. He cannot create a second world because He himself is a sinner wanted by the gods. You cannot meet Selena in another world. You do not have a second chance. Selena died three months ago in the church basement. She died with gratitude, believing she had been freed. Since you love her so much, why don't you follow her and die?"

Li En said slowly.

He believed that both the seductive words that deceived Randall and the relief that came with Selena's death were enough to disturb Randall's peace of mind.

And indeed, a complex mix of emotions flickered across Randall's usually impassive face.

“Lyon Moria, you certainly know how to provoke people.”

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Regardless of whether there is still a possibility between me and Selena, I must kill you. This is not only Emma's last wish, but also one of the reasons why I was brought back to life."

"Let me guess, you betrayed humanity and became a lackey of the gods. Well then, I'm sorry, I hate traitors more than anything else in my life."

Li En gripped the butcher's knife tightly, determined to send Randall to hell once more.
