Chat group: People are in the sandbox, the system just ran away

Roswaal asked the many bishops of the Witch Cult to join forces. He believed that the other party would not refuse. After all, the powerful Li Xuan was not someone that any of them could defeat alone.

"it is good."

Although the Greedy Archbishop Regulus Cornia was arrogant and thought he was invincible, his arrogance was shattered when he just faced Li Xuan. It was just a slight glance, but he was completely unable to resist. Even though the Greedy Archbishop Regulus Cornia was furious when he came to his senses, he also felt extremely wary of Li Xuan, so he did not refuse Roswaal's invitation to join forces.

Not only that, at his signal, the Bishop of Gluttony summoned the most famous magical beasts created by the Gluttony Witch Daphne, the White Whale and the Rabbit. The white whale, 50 meters long and able to swim in the air due to a magic circle flying above its head, swam in the sky, while the Rabbits, consisting of tens of thousands of cute, palm-sized white rabbits, clustered on the ground. Each individual of the Rabbits had low intelligence and weak abilities, but because they reproduced by splitting instead of mating, they relied on their absolute numerical advantage and sharp teeth to become a more powerful magical beast than the White Whale. It can be said that except for the black snake that was frozen after attacking Emilia's tribe more than a hundred years ago, the other two magical beasts were summoned here by the Bishop of Gluttony of the Witch Cult.

Initially, Archbishop Regulus Cornea had been somewhat skeptical of Pandora the Witch of Deception's order to mobilize the entirety of the Witch Cult's forces, but now he simply wanted to praise Pandora's foresight. Li Xuan, who had been able to slay Satira the Witch of Jealousy, was undoubtedly no pushover.

But even Li Xuan would not be able to get away with facing the entire combat power of the Witch Cult. After all, even the Sword Saint Reinhardt would not be able to get away with facing such a gorgeous lineup, let alone Li Xuan.

Archbishop Regulus Cornia of Greed firmly believed this in his heart.

"Listen to my command and prepare to act."

"That's right, let's do it together."

The two sides agreed on the time to take action. Roswaal and the Greedy Archbishop Regulus Cornia were both furious at the arrogant Li Xuan who remained indifferent and gave them time to discuss. How could they justify Li Xuan's arrogance if they didn't kill him for looking down on them?

Especially the Archbishop of Greed, Regulus Cornia. Li Xuan's arrogant behavior was what he used to do to other people in the past, but now Li Xuan used the same method to retaliate against him. How could the Archbishop of Greed not be angry or annoyed?

In the past, when facing weaker opponents, the Archbishop Regulus Cornia, relying on his invincible power, would always take all attacks from his opponents head-on without any defense, and would kill the opponent when he was shocked or desperate after seeing that all his methods were ineffective.

Chapter 315 Ram's Rebellion

"It's really time, let's do it."

Facing the Witch Cult members and Roswaal and the other two who were on high alert, Li Xuan suddenly said something that left them baffled. Was Li Xuan trying to get the people behind him to take action?

Roswaal smiled at the thought. Besides the great elf, Puck, what fighting power could either the silver-haired half-elf Emilia or the ordinary ghost Rem possess? Just as Roswaal was thinking this, he suddenly realized something was wrong. Perhaps he had overlooked something. But by this point, it was already too late for him to realize the situation.

An extremely sharp and condensed wind blade pierced through Roswaal's chest, directly creating a large hole in his heart. This attack was too sudden and too fast, which Roswaal had never expected. Therefore, even he could not avoid this fatal attack. After all, this attack was launched by Ram, the maid behind him, who was supposed to be very loyal to him.

"Why? Is it because Rem is still in his hands? Did he use Rem as a hostage to threaten you?"

There was a big hole in his chest, and even his heart was gone, but with Roswaal's magical attainments, he could still stay alive for a while. If he was given a safe environment, he might even be able to survive.

Therefore, Roswaal wasn't overly embarrassed by Ram's betrayal. For him, if he wanted to survive and retreat safely, he needed Ram's help. So, Roswaal was still trying to win Ram's support. After all, he was cautious by nature. Before setting out, he had observed Ram's condition through the Gospels and was certain she was completely loyal and unlikely to betray him. That's why he took her with him. It was Beatrice, the great elf, who might betray him because of her brother, Puck.

If Ram turned against Li Xuan now, it was very likely that she was threatened by Li Xuan. After all, Rem was still by Li Xuan's side. And by doing so, she could alienate Rem who was on Li Xuan's side. In the end, Rem would attack Li Xuan and be killed. In this way, Ram would be determined to oppose Li Xuan, Roswaal thought maliciously.

"Don't you understand? This is truly tragic, and absolutely ridiculous. Roswaal, you've lived your entire life following the Gospels. How could you be any different from a puppet?"

Ram was dismissive of Roswaal, who spoke softly and behaved very magnanimously, and instead mocked him harshly.

“Why?………………”

Roswaal, who had remained very calm even when facing the crisis of death, was now extremely shocked by Ram's attitude. He was so excited that he almost couldn't keep his life from slipping away and was about to die.

"Do not understand?"

Ram understood the shock in Roswaal's heart. After all, her behavior was completely different from what was recorded in the Gospel. There was no loyalty at all.

"If you read this book, you will understand."

As she spoke, Ram took out a magic book. It was the Gospel, a weakened version of the Book of Wisdom of the Greedy Witch Echidna, which was owned by Roswaal.

"How is that possible? Why do you also possess the Gospel? Where did your Gospel come from?"

Roswaal's face was gloomy, and he was extremely angry about Ram's possession of the Gospel. Roswaal firmly believed that the future shown in the Gospel was consistent with his own goals, so he was extremely persistent and would not allow another Gospel to appear.

"Haha, of course it was given to me by my master. Moreover, this Gospel of mine can even modify the contents of the Gospel in your hand. So, you who firmly believe in the Gospel are nothing but a puppet in front of me."

Ram was very sharp-tongued and ridiculed Roswaal harshly, devaluing the gospel that he valued most.

"Who is your master?"

Although Roswaal already had a guess in his mind, he still didn't understand when Li Xuan got in touch with Ram. You know, he had subdued the sisters when Ram was young, so why did Li Xuan become Ram's master?

"You already understand, don't you? The master I'm determined to serve for life is, of course, Master Li Xuan. I decided to be loyal to him at a very young age. It was also the Gospel given by Master Li Xuan that allowed me to lurk by your side. So, Roswaal, you're just like your appearance, a pure clown..."

Faced with Ram's harsh words, the furious Roswaal could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and could not retain the vitality in his body. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down with his eyes wide open.

"Tsk, how boring, can't you bear it?"

Ram looked at Roswaal's body with disdain. As the culprit of the destruction of the ghost village, Ram hated Roswaal very much. So, he originally wanted to make him angry, but Roswaal died like this. It was really too much to withstand the ridicule.

Ram didn't even think about the fact that Roswaal was killed by her sneak attack, with a big hole in his chest and even his heart gone. The fact that he could still talk to him like this was already a reflection of Roswaal's profound attainments in magic. It was normal for him to lose his life after being scolded by her.

Forget it, she has already avenged her clan members and parents. Now she feels extremely relieved and can finally return to Li Xuan, whom she has decided to serve for the rest of her life.

"We finally meet again, Master. This time I can finally be with you."

"Welcome back, Ram."

Li Xuan gently hugged Ram to welcome her back, and destroyed Roswaal's soul. The reason why he was able to stay at the scene and collect intelligence without rushing was naturally because he had his own support.

As a great magician proficient in reincarnation magic, Roswaal will not die so easily. As a family of Mezas that has been around for four hundred years, although there are not many members, they are not rare either. They are all descendants of Roswaal's bloodline. He has already prepared several bodies as backups. Even if he fails this time, he can be reincarnated into other members of the Mezas family and resurrected. This is also the last trump card he dares to test when facing Li Xuan.

But sorry, this trump card is completely meaningless to Li Xuan. The moment Roswaal's reincarnation magic was about to be activated, Li Xuan had already detained his soul. Did Roswaal ask Li Xuan about his reincarnation?

Chapter 316: The Re:Zero World Returns to Peace

"Come here, Beatrice."

Facing Beatrice, the last member of the Roswaal trio, she had not left the mansion for four hundred years and was sent out by her mother, the greedy witch Echidna. However, she did not have much motivation, so after her brother Parker came forward, Beatrice had no reluctance and easily stood on Li Xuan's side.

Beatrice was not sad at all about the death of Border Count Roswaal. After all, although they obeyed the orders of the Greedy Witch Echidna, it did not mean that their relationship was good. On the contrary, Beatrice was very disdainful of Roswaal, a psychopathic and twisted clown who kept reincarnating among his own descendants. She could not stand Roswaal's behavior.

And most importantly, Echidna's original words were that they should test Li Xuan, ideally inviting him to the Sanctuary. Roswaal saw Echidna's curiosity and regard for the unknown Li Xuan, which made the already twisted Roswaal extremely jealous, and so he considered killing Li Xuan. Beatrice had never intended to fight Li Xuan, so her defection was quite easy.

Seeing that among his three allies, Roswaal, Ram and Beatrice, Roswaal was ambushed and killed by the rebel Ram, and Beatrice also ran to Li Xuan's side, the Greedy Archbishop Regulus Cornia felt like he was about to vomit blood.

What kind of people are these? You were the one who said you wanted to form an alliance, and then you were the one who joined forces. And now, your own men have betrayed you and killed you in a surprise attack, leaving the Witch Cult to face the even more powerful Li Xuan. You're such a complete clown, Roswaal.

The Greedy Archbishop Regulus Cornia felt that if the despicable guy Roswaal appeared in front of him, he would definitely torture him and let him understand the horror and cruelty of the Witch Cult.

But there was no other way. Things had come to this point and the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and prepare. After all, he couldn't just do nothing in the face of such a big fuss. He might as well just give up and prepare to run away.

"Oh, what bad luck! We encountered such a ridiculous clown. It turns out that outsiders are always unreliable. We, the Witch Cult, have to take matters into our own hands."

"Oh, why bother? If you had just stood there quietly, you could have lived a few more minutes. Why bother courting death? He calls Roswaal a clown, but aren't you all just a bunch of clowns, too?"

Li Xuan was very unhappy with the behavior of the Greedy Archbishop Regulus Cornia who interrupted him and Ram's reminiscing. He was living a good life, but he had to run out to die. It was no wonder that she was not to blame.

"We're looking for death? You're being quite arrogant."

Although the Greedy Archbishop Regulus Cornia already had a bad premonition in his heart, he still had full confidence that he could survive. After all, his omnipotence combined with his registration ability was very powerful. If Li Xuan did not know the specific situation of his power, no matter how strong Li Xuan was, he would not be able to kill him. The Greedy Archbishop still had this confidence, but that was all he had. He had no hope of defeating Li Xuan. What the Greedy Archbishop Regulus Cornia had to do now was to use the two great monsters, the White Whale and the Rabbit, and other Archbishops of Sin as consumables to test Li Xuan's specific information, and then tell the Witch of Decorative Pandora to let her find a way to deal with Li Xuan. Anyway, that insidious woman was very familiar with these conspiracies.

But unfortunately, his plan was very good. The Bishop of Greed had raised Li Xuan's combat power as much as possible and set Li Xuan as the ultimate evolved version of the Sword Saint Reinhard. However, Li Xuan, the visitor from another world who had no martial ethics, was still far beyond his poor imagination and was not something they could handle.

"Let's go and kill him together......"

Before the Archbishop of Greed, Regulus Cornia, could finish his words about launching a general attack, Li Xuan's power had already killed them all. White Whale, Duotu, Archbishop Sloth, Archbishop Gluttony, Archbishop Wrath, Archbishop Lust, and the Archbishop of Greed who held the power that was said to be immune to any attack were all wiped out. No one survived. The place where they were was as clean as if it had been wiped with an eraser. There was no trace of any human figure. All of them were wiped out by Li Xuan from the root.

"If you want to fight, then fight. Why all that nonsense? You don't really think you can stand up to me, do you? Don't you think Pandora, the Witch of Pretense, and Hector, the Demon of Melancholy."

Li Xuan's faint voice fell into the ears of Pandora, the Witch of Pretense, and Hector, the Demon of Melancholy, who were sneaking behind the Archbishops of Sin of the Witch Cult. It startled them so much that they wanted to run away.

But they couldn't run away just because they wanted to. Li Xuan just waved his hand lightly, and the witch of pretense Pandora and the melancholy demon Hector felt that their bodies were out of control. They walked stiffly step by step to Li Xuan. Their life and death depended entirely on Li Xuan's mood.

"Emilia, I'll leave Pandora, the Witch of Falsehood, to you. As the culprit who attacked the elven village over a hundred years ago, and the true cause of the death and rampage of the Seven Deadly Sin Witches four hundred years ago, her existence has only brought harm to the world. So you can kill her without any psychological burden. Such a person deserves no regrets."

Li Xuan handed over the right to deal with the Witch of Pretense Pandora to Emilia. As Emilia had a deep hatred and a deep connection with the Witch of Pretense Pandora, it was best for her to kill the Witch of Pretense Pandora.

"As for this Melancholic Demon Hector, are you interested, Beatrice? I remember he was an enemy of your creator, the Greedy Witch Echidna, and was once hunted by him."

Seeing that Li Xuan handed over their life and death to Emilia and Beatrice as if he were distributing piglets, the eyes of the witch of pretense Pandora and the demon of melancholy Hector rolled around. Controlled by Li Xuan, they could only move their eyes. They wanted to say something and defend themselves, but Li Xuan had no interest in their sophistry.

Death is their only fate. Li Xuan has killed the Jealous Witch Satira, let alone these two culprits. They are doomed to die. Unlike the Jealous Witch Satira, whose true spirit Li Xuan even let reincarnate, what awaits the Hypocritical Witch Pandora and the Melancholic Demon Hector is only the scattering of their souls and their complete disappearance from this world.

Upon hearing that Hector, the Melancholy Demon, had once hunted her mother, Echidna, the Greedy Witch, Beatrice was enraged and quickly used magic to kill him. Emilia, after much hesitation, also killed Pandora, the Witch of Falsehood, with Puck's help. Thus, thanks to Li Xuan's intervention, all the sources of unrest in the Zero World—Pandora, the Witch of Falsehood, Hector, the Witch of Jealousy, Satira, the Witch Cult, and Roswaal—had been slain. Peace had finally arrived in the Zero World. Congratulations! Congratulations!

Chapter 317: First Meeting with Echidna

Emilia's wish to live a peaceful life in the forest with other tribesmen still failed. After Li Xuan lifted the ice, such obvious changes were soon discovered by others. Various forces sent people to explore. Emilia's tribesmen had no choice but to move away in advance and leave this place. After all, this place was already quite unsafe. With such a big thing, the whole forest would be turned upside down by others, so they had to evacuate in advance.

After going around in circles, Emilia and the others decided to return to Roswaal's mansion, mainly because the sanctuary next to the mansion was very suitable for sub-humans like elves to live in.

Of course, before that, Li Xuan needed to greet Echidna, the master of the Sanctuary. After all, she had always wanted to meet Li Xuan, but she just hadn't had the right opportunity.

"Mother invites you to meet her. It's not that she doesn't want to see you in person, but she can't come in person. Please forgive her."

The Greedy Witch Echidna sent the invitation through Beatrice, the great elf she created. This was not because she was arrogant and came to see Li Xuan in person, but because the Greedy Witch Echidna, who only had one soul left, could not appear in the outside world for a long time and could only communicate with others through some means.

Since the greedy witch Echidna can't come, Li Xuan will just go and see her.

"Okay, I know."

After saying that, Li Xuan took a step forward and came to an endless green grassland. The breeze was blowing, and there was no life on the grassland except for a few wild flowers occasionally. It was very strange.

In the grassland are ancient castles. The castle gates are already open, waiting for Li Xuan to enter. After entering, there is a straight line leading to the atrium in the center of the castle.

There, under a huge parasol, the lustful witch Echidna, with waist-length silver hair, snow-white skin, and wearing a jet-black robe, had already prepared tea and was waiting for Li Xuan's visit.

"Is this the scene you have in mind?"

The place where Li Xuan is now is not real, but the mental world of the greedy witch Echidna. Only such a place that is neither alive nor dead, existing in the gap between reality and illusion, can preserve the souls of the witches of sin, allowing them to survive and not completely disappear from this world.

"Yes, all of this is the place that left the deepest impression on me four hundred years ago. If it weren't for the conspiracy of Pandora, the Witch of Pretense, and Hector, the Demon of Melancholy, which caused Satira, the Witch of Jealousy, to go berserk, then this place would still exist. Instead of being like this now, where I can only recall my past life here, I want to thank you, Master Li Xuan."

"You helped us get revenge and eliminated the greatest threat to us witch spirits. I really don't know how to thank you, so please let me pledge my love to you."

After hearing what the Greedy Witch Echidna said, Li Xuan couldn't help but frown. It was true that the Greedy Witch Echidna was extremely beautiful and full of charm, but she now looked like a complete nympho.

He said he wanted to repay Li Xuan, but his dark eyes were full of greed. He watched Li Xuan's every move without any intention of looking away. His body was trembling slightly with excitement.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Shouldn't we first understand each other? And I killed your student Roswaal, aren't you angry at all?"

"You're joking. Roswaal has never been my student. I only taught him for a period of time. We can't be considered true master and apprentice. Moreover, he actually misinterpreted my meaning and wanted to cause trouble for you. He deserves to die."

The lustful witch Echidna probably realized that she might have been too obvious, so she restrained her expression, invited Li Xuan to sit down, and pushed the tea in front of him. But in fact, the fire in her eyes did not disappear, but became more obvious.

"This tea of yours is not Donna tea."

Although he said this, Li Xuan did not hide it and drank the tea in one gulp. He was not so bad as to not recognize the tea.

"You're joking. It's just ordinary black tea. Of course, if you want Donna tea, I can also bring it out."

"Forget it, I don't have such a strange hobby."

Li Xuan still declined Donna Tea and was not interested in it.

"Let's get back to the point. Echidna, why did you invite me here?"

"Just call me Donna. Please call me Donna."

The Greedy Witch Echidna did not answer Li Xuan's question, but held Li Xuan's hand in her arms, stared into Li Xuan's eyes, and spoke very seriously.

"Well, Donna, what do you want from me?"

Li Xuan felt very surprised by Echidna's reaction. In the past, he was the one who initiated the attacks. But today, Echidna's strong attack made him feel a little uncomfortable and fresh for a while.

At this time, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Roswaal's misery. As a bootlicker, he licked until the end and had nothing. From beginning to end, the Greedy Witch Echidna never looked at him straight in the eye, and she was not even considered a formal student. But Roswaal was willing to lick her, and had been working tirelessly for the resurrection of the Greedy Witch Echidna.

Now, his goddess Echidna has become the lickspittle of Li Xuan, who killed him. It is really sad.

"All I want, all I pray for, is to be with you. I would do anything to be with you. That is why I invited you here."

The lustful witch Echidna made nympho-like remarks. To her, the most important person in the world right now was Li Xuan. Apart from that, nothing else mattered.

"Why? This should be the first time we meet."

Although Li Xuan knew the general reason, it was probably because he came from another world. For the embodiment of curiosity, the greedy witch Echidna had an endless desire for the unknown.

"You should also know that my Book of Power and Wisdom contains everything in this world. I can find answers to everything from it. This is extremely painful because it is too boring. What's even more terrifying is that even if I wanted to give it up, I couldn't. So I can only be tortured by knowledge and live in hell."

For Echidna, the Witch of Greed, whose thirst for knowledge is incarnate, omniscience is the most horrific torture. She lives in hell, with no hope of redemption.

Chapter 318: Echidna's Desire

"But you are different, the most special, different from anyone else and anything else."

Having said that, the Greedy Witch Echidna paused, looked at Li Xuan and spoke very seriously.

"It's not like I haven't come into contact with people from other worlds before. This world has had many visitors from other worlds before, such as the sage from four hundred years ago, and Subaru. They may have possessed a lot of unknown knowledge for a while, but as they lived in this world and left traces, their existences were eventually included in the Book of Wisdom. There is no secret left."

"But you are different. Before I saw you in person, I couldn't find any information about you in the Book of Wisdom. I could only indirectly know of your existence from the words and actions of others, but I couldn't truly observe you. Therefore, to me, you are the most special existence, and one that I absolutely cannot let go. After all, you are a blank, full of unknowns. You are simply the embodiment of miracles. If I miss you, I will never be able to find another unknown existence."

The Book of Power and Wisdom held by the Greedy Witch Echidna is actually the manifestation of the Akashic Records from World Zero. Even beings like Subaru who come from another world will be included in the Book of Wisdom after they have established cause and effect with this world and have interacted with it. For example, Subaru, the sage of his previous life four hundred years ago, existed in this world, so his cause and effect and traces were recorded by this world. Even the simplified version of the Book of Wisdom, the Gospel, can observe the time point when Subaru came to this world. This is because of his cause and effect entanglement with this world.
