Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 250 is the first installment; ask all the questions during the initial release.

On the boundless sea.

Perhaps knowing that escape was impossible, the shadow stopped fleeing and instead stood in the void, confronting the embers.

A soft, alluring female voice, tinged with a hint of helplessness, came from the shadows:

Why are you so persistent in pursuing this?

Ember didn't rush to attack, and said calmly:

"Then why did you run away?"

The soft, charming female voice held a hint of reproach, as if she were pouting at her boyfriend:

"Why are you running away if you're not chasing me?"

Ember showed no mercy and retorted:

"Why should I chase you if you don't run?"

"..."

The woman's voice in the shadows was abruptly cut off, and after several seconds, a pleading tone finally emerged:

"Can't you just leave me alone? I'm begging you!"

"cannot."

Ember spoke calmly, but before he could finish, the being in the shadows seemed to have lost all patience, and a voice filled with resentment emanated from within:

"Since you won't let me go, then die!"

Before the words were even finished, the previously hazy shadow suddenly dissipated, revealing a crimson hue. When the shadow completely vanished, its full form was finally revealed to the embers: a red moon!

As the shadows dissipated, the red moon rapidly soared into the sky, hanging high above the horizon.

In that instant, everyone in the world witnessed a scene they would never forget—

Two full moons hang high in the sky!

One moon is a Crimson Moon, and the other moon is also a Crimson Moon.

The rising 'red moon' seemed to echo the existing crimson moon, bursting forth with bright crimson light, while greedily drawing more crimson light from the crimson moon.

This dimmed the original crimson moon's light slightly, while making the rising red moon's glow even more intense. From a hazy, beautiful crimson, it transformed into a blood-red moon concealing unspeakable terror and eeriness!

A crimson light enveloped the earth and the sea, enveloping the entire world, as if bringing about some strange change.

Splash!

The once calm sea surface was now churning wildly, with countless fish surging out of the water and crowding the once boundless ocean. They stretched their heads out of the water, gazing at the starry sky, creating a scene that would make anyone's sanity drop wildly!

Under the influence of the scarlet moonlight, their scales burst open wildly, and the flesh beneath the scales was contaminated by the scarlet moon, writhing wildly as if it were about to detach from its body; the originally gentle and cute dolphins grew sharp and terrifying teeth, and their flesh blossomed into countless scarlet tentacles, which kept swirling in the air.

The fish, which had been relatively normal, began to frantically attack their fellow fish, both to greedily devour their flesh and blood and to claim more space to better bask in the crimson moon's light. As they tore at each other, their flesh shed from their bodies, transforming into individual life forms with predatory teeth and tentacles growing from their flesh, joining the carnage in this brutal feast.

Under this frenzied influence, it seemed as if even the seawater had come to life, constantly sweeping and crashing against all life around it, turning their flesh and blood into its own physical form.

It was as if the whole world had gone mad at this moment, with all life frantically devouring the flesh and blood of other creatures, turning into huge and bizarre aggregates of flesh and blood, terrifying and abhorrent.

In this state, even the embers were somewhat affected.

Specifically, his buff bar now includes a bleeding debuff.

This made Yu Jin slightly wary, since it had been a long time since anyone had been able to apply a debuff to him.

But if the incarnation of the fallen Mother Goddess, who is releasing pollution from the sky, knew this, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood.

The most terrifying ability of the "Creator" of Sequence 2 in the "Moon" pathway is to "activate" the body of an enemy, causing them to betray their original form. As for the "Goddess of Beauty" of Sequence 1, her strongest abilities are her beauty and charm—

Even the gods could not resist the charm of the "Goddess of Beauty".

The former only had a debuff effect on Ember. The latter was completely ineffective; even though it tried its best to unleash its charm, Ember remained unaffected.

"It's pretty scary, really."

Ember looked up at the crimson moon above, then at the mutated monsters on the sea surface, constantly fighting each other due to pollution. This kind of collective influence is the most difficult to guard against, and it corresponds precisely to the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Creators,' only stronger than the 'Creators.'

This means that this incarnation of the fallen Mother Goddess is roughly equivalent to a Sequence 1 angel. Of course, Her level might be higher, but not at Sequence 0, otherwise the Embers would have sensed it as well.

Just as demigods and angels are of vastly different qualities when used as fuel, the difference between angels and true gods is like heaven and earth!

It is higher than sequence 1, but does not reach the level of sequence 0.

Either He possesses two extraordinary Sequence 1 attributes, or He possesses the uniqueness of the 'Moon' pathway!

"so……"

Ember slowly raised his right hand, and the radiant spear of sunlight slowly condensed in his hand, before being thrown into the sky like a javelin!

boom!

The spear of sunlight ripped through the sky, tearing through the void in the blink of an eye to reach the heavens, standing before the crimson moon that emitted a scarlet light. The crimson moon seemed to sense the danger, its crimson light almost solidifying, forming an impenetrable barrier in front of it.

But this barrier was easily pierced by the Sunlight Spear, just like a paper window.

Amidst a crisp, shattering sound like breaking glass, golden lightning pierced through the crimson sun hanging high in the sky in an instant!

Boo!

Under the watchful eyes of the entire world, the crimson moon was pierced by golden lightning.

Compared to the enormous moon, the lightning seemed minuscule, like a hair on a bull's back. Yet its light was so dazzling, like a solar flare, even obscuring the sun's own radiance. And at this moment, that tiny golden light shone far brighter than the overwhelming crimson light that blotted out the sky!

The crimson moonlight relentlessly pressed inward, attempting to engulf the tiny spear, but any crimson light that got close was inevitably shattered, or even transformed into part of its power.

Amidst the seemingly eternal, disordered, and chaotic crimson, the gold representing order gradually gained the upper hand, transforming into streaks of golden lightning that crawled across the surface of the crimson moon. These streaks then connected and merged, occupying one-third of the crimson moon's surface.

But gradually, the Crimson Moon seemed to launch a counterattack, its crimson light blazing forth. Gradually, more and more gold was covered by the crimson, and the two sides seemed to be locked in a long stalemate.

Although the "gold" came with great force, it was ultimately "water without roots".

In the long run, the Crimson will ultimately prevail!

The incarnation of the fallen Mother Goddess thought this, until another spear of sunlight pierced the half-moon, half-golden, piercing through the brilliant crimson. As if planting another anchor point, the dazzling golden light once again occupied a third of the moon.

On the sea surface, golden light slowly condensed into a spear in Yu Jin's hand—

There's nothing a Sun Gun can't solve; if there is, then fire another one!

boom!

One after another, the Sunlight Gun pierced through the surface of the Crimson Moon, planting countless anchor points on it.

Centered on these 'anchor points,' golden lightning rapidly spread, connecting and completely enveloping the crimson moon!

The crimson light was obscured, and a golden 'sun' hung high in the sky. Beside that golden 'sun' was a dim, crimson moon, as if the wondrous sight of the sun and moon shining together had been recreated at this moment.

Zizizi!

Beneath the radiance of the 'sun,' faint streaks of red light burst forth, as fleeting as the jets of water spewed out by a whale leaping out of the water, struggling to breathe amidst the agony of suffocation.

But one sun gun shot after another pierced through it, filling those scarlet 'gaps'.

Until the crimson could no longer gleam, until the golden sunlight grew ever more intense.

collapse!

The sun seemed to have reached its zenith, while the submerged crimson moon, unable to bear its brilliance any longer, expanded and exploded, transforming into a shower of golden light that bathed the world.

The world, which was originally in the darkness, was now bathed in golden light.

Compared to that, even the crimson moon seemed dim and lackluster.

【The Moon's Uniqueness ×1】

[Beautiful God’s “Extraordinary Characteristics” × 1]

"Uniqueness?"

Yu Jin looked up and stroked his chin, as if he had just realized something.

So this so-called "incarnation of the Fallen Mother Goddess" is actually the uniqueness of the living being? Does this mean that the uniqueness of the "Moon" pathway, or even that the entire "Moon" pathway originally belonged to the Fallen Mother Goddess?

It's not impossible; in fact, it's highly likely.

Ember withdrew his gaze and swept it across the sea below.

The once azure sea has been covered in scarlet, stained red by the blood of marine life.

Although the Crimson Moon is no longer there, the pollution it left behind will not disappear into thin air.

The rest of the world may not be as affected, but Ember, as the target of the Crimson Moon, suffers the most from the contamination. Although he himself is unaffected, the ordinary sea creatures around him are suffering.

The polluted marine life continues to devour each other's flesh, giving birth to one terrifying monster after another. They float on the sea like mountains of flesh, waving their tentacles to prey on all life around them.

Although none of this had anything to do with Yu Jin, he still felt that it should be cleaned up a bit.

Just then, a scarlet tentacle suddenly surged out from beneath the sea surface and attacked the embers above!

But before the tentacles could touch the embers, a bright white light burst forth from within them—

boom!

The white light rapidly expanded and spread, reaching thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye, centered on the embers.

The sea level disappeared, leaving only a 'sphere' radiating a dazzling white light.

Everything within the area covered by the white light had already been swallowed up.

Finally, the white light, which had expanded to its limit, began to contract and eventually disappeared completely.

The things that were covered by the white light never reappeared, neither the mutated marine life nor the seawater they depended on for survival. All that remained was an arc-shaped, barren seabed thousands of kilometers in diameter.

As if finally realizing what was happening, the seawater thousands of kilometers away rushed into this 'blank' area.

-

Landenheim, inside the half-ruined castle of the Toddbringer family.

Although the upper floors were almost completely destroyed, the lobby on the first floor remained intact and brightly lit.

Although they sensed something was amiss at the vampire banquet, many people left the hall to see what was happening outside.

Faced with this scene, Lilith's expression was also somewhat surprised, and she couldn't help but murmur softly:

"So fast?"

She had expected Ember to go directly to Luzius, since Ember's purpose in coming to Langenheim was to hunt down Luzius. But she hadn't anticipated that it would all end so quickly…

She had thought that at least a major battle would break out between the two sides, and that Ember would achieve final victory relatively easily, but the process would be more complicated than it is now, ending so suddenly.

How long has it been? The banquet isn't even over yet!

Is it that Lucius is too weak, or that Ember is too strong?

Olmer Toddbringer's heart sank upon hearing Lilith's whisper, and he asked in a deep voice:

"Miss Lilith, what's going on? Do you know these knights?"

Olmer's questioning instantly drew the attention of everyone else in the hall, and Lilith almost immediately became the focus of the entire room.

But faced with these looks of surprise or anger, Lilith showed no sign of panic. Instead, she smiled and said:

"Isn't it obvious?"

Olmer had a vague sense of unease and couldn't help but ask:

"What exactly do you want?"

"Whatever she's trying to do, grab her!"

Olmer didn't receive a reply from Lilith, because Casse's voice, barely containing his anger, came from afar.

Before Olmer could react, the surrounding vampires unleashed their corrosive claws, their eyes fixed menacingly on Lilith. Olmer silently took a few steps back; in this situation, even he dared not continue to protect Lilith. However, he also did not intend to attack her, for a sense of foreboding lingered in his heart, preventing him from making any rash moves.

Even in this situation, facing the threat of hundreds of vampires alone, Lilith still had a faint smile on her lips.

It seemed to exude extreme confidence, yet it also seemed to mock their overestimation of their abilities.

Berlant Dracula, who was originally standing next to Lilith, quietly circled around behind her and suddenly lunged forward, reaching out to grab Lilith's neck.

But the next second, a blood-red arrow, seemingly out of nowhere, pierced straight through Berlant's heart!

"Blood Moon Arrow..."

Olmer saw the arrow clearly, and his pupils contracted sharply.

Those arrows were formed from pure crimson moonlight, an extraordinary ability unique to demigods!

Is there a demigod secretly protecting Lilith in the arena?

No! Perhaps, Lilith is that demigod!

Olmer stared in disbelief at the seemingly frail girl beside him. How could she be a demigod?

Lilith's lips curled slightly, and she said teasingly:

"I don't intend to kill you all, so please don't make any rash moves!"

Just then, several tall knights clad in bright silver armor and helmets adorned with two long horns burst into the hall, instantly making the atmosphere even more tense.

But the silver knights merely glanced at them indifferently, then stood guard at the entrance of the hall, making no other move.

They didn't target Lilith, who was clearly the dominant figure in the hall, and Lilith, in turn, had no intention of attacking them.

Clearly, they are in cahoots.

This discovery immediately chilled the hearts of everyone else in the hall.
