Chapter 355: Chapter 221: Control the Demon, Rescue Tiya_2
Even though the scene before his eyes only occurred in the Spiritual World, it was still enough to instill fear and panic in anyone.
However, in the next second, something peculiar happened.
The thunderous roar of the waves that had echoed throughout the Spiritual Space, along with the rampaging turbulent waves that raged around, froze in place the instant Lynn’s words fell, as if time had stood still.
It was as abrupt as if frames had been skipped in a film, jarring to witness in just a glance.
Yet this is the illusory space created by a person’s spirit, where anything can happen.
At this moment, the graceful woman walking on the waves heard his words, her originally spiteful expression suddenly went blank for a moment, then the corners of her eyes slightly narrowed as she sized him up with her gaze.
Although this was only the physical manifestation of core characteristics, the Yuvalia before him seemed to still retain some semblance of consciousness.
Perhaps this was the magic of a Level 0 Sealed Object, not even Divine beings could afford to overlook it.
After all, She too was a High-dimensional Demon in life, and even if there was a vast gap between Her and Miss Witch, She likely had means to save Herself. Now, having forsaken Her demon rank to become a consciousness within core characteristics, might be the sacrifice and choice She made.
In the end, even with retained consciousness, She still had to abide by the rules of the Sealed Object itself.
Otherwise, She would not repeatedly ask such questions of him.
And at this moment, sensing that Lynn had fallen into the trap, successfully entering the jurisdiction of the Wish Jar’s Judgement, a hint of joy couldn’t help but surface in Yuvalia’s eyes.
For this being that had caused Her revival to fail, having been imprisoned here for a long time, She thought of nothing but killing him at every moment.
This was her sole obsession now, even stronger than the desire for revival.
However, the Witch’s Sealing was too strong, even with all Her strength, She could not overcome it.
That day in the Mysterious Hall, She experienced for the first time the existence known as “End,” understanding how terrifying its strength and domain truly were.
Thus, the so-called revenge was merely a wishful thought.
As long as he did not reach this gap hidden in the folds of the Spiritual World, She would not be able to exact revenge in her lifetime.
She had even prepared to perish alongside the aging of this human.
But heaven showed mercy.
Perhaps Her bad luck over the tens of thousands of years was too strong, so strong that even the World Will couldn’t stand it, bringing this impossible chance right before Her!
Looking at the calm-faced youth, under the drive of the remaining consciousness, the Creation Demon, which had nearly assimilated with the core characteristics, felt the long-lost emotion called “surprise” for the first time.
It was just too foolish.
Once the imagery of the wish is confirmed, even if one regrets it midway, they would be subject to the “mischief” of the Wish Jar.
Although the outcome is unknown, it is definitely not something a mere human can bear.
And once he chooses to make a wish, no matter what the wish, it will manifest in the most twisted way possible.
She still remembered the first ignorant human who got hold of the Wish Jar, who seemed to be an Emperor of an ancient Empire, foolishly wished for “eternal life” to maintain his rule forever.
The next second, the Wish Jar fulfilled his wish—transforming him into a wriggling mass of flesh.
Without self-awareness yet blessed with an immeasurably long life, able to live until the day the world perished.
It was laughably tragic.
You see, even the Divine have a lifespan limit, just that this limit cannot be measured by human standards, perhaps tens of thousands of years, maybe hundreds of thousands.
Regardless, there is always a day when they head towards extinction.
This is why the churches of various Empires today predominantly worship new gods that emerged in the last one or two Epochs.
Those old gods and Ancient Gods that exist only in folklore have either long died or are resting in a tomb somewhere, in a deep slumber.
All in all, for this strange Sealed Object created by an Ancient God from the First Epoch to plague the world, anyone who gets involved with it is doomed to a bleak fate.
And therefore, the Creation Demon was all too pleased to see Lynn stepping into the trap.
As the overwhelming black waves gradually dimmed down, Yuvalia, who had been suspended in the sky, slowly descended.
Though She had lost the ability to speak and think, She still gradually approached the young man before Her. Her body, formed from a black mire, seemed to melt as if enveloping him within.
What kind of wish will this damned human make?
Truly, She was somewhat eager to find out.
At this moment, the Creation Demon’s expression was ferocious, but her tone was icy and mechanical: “So, your first wish is…”
Upon hearing this, Lynn laughed indifferently.
“Actually, looking at you now, I do feel a bit of pity,” he shook his head, “If it wasn’t for being completely unconscious at the time, I most certainly would have asked Miss Witch to spare your life—even though it’s very likely she wouldn’t have done so.”
Unexpectedly, he did not immediately state his wish, instead, he chatted up with Yuvalia as if engaging in idle family talk.
“Come to think of it, the only conflict between us was your attempt to take over the Imperial Princess. But in the end, you received the consequences you deserved.”
“To be honest, continuing to exist in this lingering, wretched state seems more painful than death itself, so as far as I’m concerned, your punishment ends here.”
As he said this, Lynn suddenly lifted his head, sizing up Yuvalia’s graceful figure, and then clicked his tongue unceasingly.
What in the world is this guy trying to do?!
A sliver of confusion emerged in the chaotic consciousness of Yuvalia.
Yet, driven by the thought of killing, she mechanically repeated her earlier words: “Then, your first wish is…”
“The reason I came to you today, is to seek coexistence in peace, as from the next Moonlight Holy Scripture, I must borrow the power to confront the Bright Moon Goddess.”
“So if you can calm down and think about your current predicament and condition, ponder your future, and ultimately accept the olive branch I offer you, that would be for the best.”
Olive branch?
The moment this term reached Yuvalia’s ears, she nearly lost control of her raging heart, and even in a medical miracle, she almost regained the ability to speak autonomously.
To think what this guy was going to do; it turns out he’s simply not awoken from his daydream yet.
It’s just ridiculous!!!
Isn’t this guy right in front of her the very reason she had fallen to this state?!
And what future or way out could She possibly have?!
In an instant, a surge of dark fury almost broke out again, yet the next second, Yuvalia seemed to have suddenly thought of something.
So that’s how it is.
The person before her must have sensed his own imminent danger, thus he wished to stall for time with bluffs, just like back then in the Soron Mountain Range.
Or perhaps, he naively believed that just a few words could completely subjugate Her?
Just with you, a mere Second Rank human?
At this moment, Yuvalia had abandoned all fluke thoughts, her only goal was to kill the young man before her.
And so, with a cold and mechanical tone, her face twisted into a mad and fierce expression, and she repeated for the third time: “Then, your first wish is…”
Seeing this, Lynn reined in the smile on his face and sighed softly.
Negotiation breakdown, then there’s only one path left to take.
After all, what he was facing now was merely the core characteristic of the Wish Jar, not the entity of the Creation Demon itself.
And the so-called Wish Jar, after being infinitely weakened by Miss Witch, posed no threat in his eyes at all.
If he hadn’t been so confident, how would he dare to attempt something so dangerous?
In the next second, under the malevolent gaze of the Creation Demon, Lynn spoke his wish.
“My first wish is, for the next wish to be realized in the opposite state.”
The moment the words fell, Yuvalia felt as if she had heard some absurd fairy tale, and she froze on the spot.
For some reason, an unprecedented panic began to surface in Her heart.
It was as if… she was about to face the most regrettable moment of her life.
But the young man’s voice did not stop.
Moreover, it approached her like the death knell of the Grim Reaper, inseparably following her.
“My second wish is, do not fulfill my third wish.”
After saying this sentence, Lynn grinned, revealing his ghostly white teeth.
Immediately after, he issued the final Judgment upon the Creation Demon.
“My third wish is… to forget all the wishes I have made previously.”
What do you think?
