Chapter 521 - 350: What Are You Doing at the End of the World? Are You Busy? Can You Chat?
The Little Witch’s face had completely transformed into an expression like "The Scream," so terrified that her features had become exaggerated once more.
Yet, Xue Dili seemed oblivious to the dense swarm of human-shaped balloons that hovered above like a plague of locusts, and instead frowned as he continued to focus on the contract before him.
"Brother... what do we do, what do we do now? Brother, say something, stop bullying me, what should we do. Should we start trying to purify everything? Even if it means summoning Margaret... Brother..." The Little Witch stammered, speaking rapidly.
She felt as if her soul had been frightened out of her body by miles, forcing herself to drag it back with all her might.
Millions of human-shaped balloons crowded the sky, waiting, watching, gathering together. The sensation was as if sitting on pins and needles, facing a formidable enemy, with the threat of death engulfing her mind instantly, piercing to the core of her thoughts.
And when she turned her head laboriously to look at Xue Dili, she was completely petrified at this moment, as if about to shatter.
Despite that ordinary eye from Xue Dili that looked normal, Xue Dili’s eyes were shedding tears of blood, but from the perspective of the Divine Purification Demon Eye, black flames were emanating from it, and Xue Dili’s other Ghost Eye had infected almost half of his face, twisting it into a visage resembling an Evil Ghost.
And from the Divine Purification Demon Eye, the purplish-black flames seemed to be combating the twisting corruption of the Ghost Eye.
"No, Brother, are you conscious? We shouldn’t be doing this!" The Little Witch suddenly felt as if her last straw of hope was gone, grabbing Xue Dili’s collar and shaking him desperately.
Susu, I... it’s the end for me!
Brother, you’ve doomed me...
...
At this moment, inside Xue Dili’s eyes, that Ghost Eye was rotating rapidly.
What he saw was entirely different from reality; it was as if he was gazing upon a city once vibrant, where the skies were not filled with innumerable hot-air balloons or shrieking, flying squirrel-suited aviators.
The city seemed normal, reminiscent of normal cities, and Xue Dili felt as if he had returned to the golden age of the last century, amongst bustling crowds and busy streets.
"Hey! We have to act fast, damn World Government! Damn Demons! No, we need to hurry, faster!" a girl suddenly said beside Xue Dili.
Xue Dili turned his head, momentarily stunned—it was the Little Witch Susu, but she was not little at all now, almost as if she had matured ten years in the blink of an eye, even her chest, once flattened by the Witch’s Robe, now prominent even in her formal wear.
"What’s happened?" Xue Dili asked with a frown.
"The World Government has been taken over by Human Demons. They’ve released Demon contracts upon the world, and populations in city-states have been completely turned into the Demons’ slaves. Damn it! I don’t want to live under a world ruled by Demons!" the "Great Witch" gritted her teeth and said.
But now, Xue Dili touched his left eye and instantly understood his current state.
"Is it an Illusion Technique? When did it start?" Xue Dili murmured softly, "And is this place the Illusion Realm of that day of destruction, six months ago?"
The Great Witch immediately grabbed Xue Dili’s hand and dashed outside, with the Dragon Demon wreaking havoc in the sky, while people piloted small planes, strapped with explosives, blasting themselves on the Dragon Demon, turning into fireworks in the sky.
Yet, these explosions had little effect; Demons are undying, eternal. Even if they were piled on with lives to death, the Dragon Demon would still appear in the skies over the city, spreading fear and despair indiscriminately to everyone.
"What do we do now?" Xue Dili asked.
"I’ve contacted Lady Margaret. The World Government disseminated their contracts with Human Demons to all the officials worldwide through communication terminals. Even though we intercepted and remotely destroyed the communication terminals, many cities have already fallen..."
"Now, we need to sign a contract with Lady Margaret as fast as possible, and then..."
"Use Lady Margaret’s power to completely annihilate the Demons and those enslaved by the Demons." The Great Witch said through gritted teeth.
"We? Is there anyone else besides the two of us?" Xue Dili detected something different in her words and asked immediately.
The Great Witch did not hide anything, saying, "Aside from us, there’s Mayor Kaidou of this city, and another member, an intelligence agent named ’Crow.’ He can help us remotely use Margaret’s power to destroy the communication terminals in the officials’ hands."
"This is our team’s last three, but even so, we must save this world on the verge of being completely conquered by Demons," she said.
Xue Dili fell silent. If the translator was not mistaken, when he first arrived in this world, he noticed flocks of crows in the skies of the city he landed in. Yet, in this city, there wasn’t a single crow.
Or maybe, the skies of this city were filled with human-shaped balloons, which left no space for crows.
"Just one last question, what’s the contract with the Human Demons?" Xue Dili asked, perhaps his final question.
