Chapter 886 What if 1 was just a traitor?
"No need to look anymore. Asmodeus isn't here."
Ishtar, the "Ruler of Time" surrounded by hanging pointers and scales, responded somewhat blankly. Her attention was drawn to the ashes in front of her. With a wave of her hand, time reversed, and the branches and leaves of the great tree returned, turning from charred to green, as lush as ever.
"Huh? Not here. You should have told us about this from the beginning..."
A human figure appeared on the body of "The Ruler of Life," seemingly developing from His true form into a dual entity.
The face named "Rhinedot," with its beautiful eyes etched with double helixes and genetic code, swept over Jonathan.
"You seem a bit impatient, and you're also a little late for this gathering. Did someone challenge your authority when you went to the next generation?"
Rona snorted coldly, turned her head away, and forcibly suppressed the two hateful faces that appeared in her mind.
“These regular meetings have never been missed by anyone, but now Asmodeus has inexplicably disappeared. How can I be happy about that? What if He was also swallowed up like Nabe…”
Rheindorf smiled and said, "They won't be swallowed up so easily. Let's look on the bright side; what if they've just betrayed us?"
"The Ruler of Time" Istaru slowly sat down on the stone steps. "If it's just a betrayal, it can save us a lot of trouble. We don't even need to go to Him."
Jonawa scoffed, "Unless He loves that person more than our master, what reason does He have to betray us? And besides the Ones, who else is worthy of His following..."
At this point, Jonawa seemed to remember something and suddenly stopped talking.
"Since Asmodeus is not here, I hereby declare this space dead."
Rheindorf and Istaru exchanged a subtle glance. "I think future gatherings don't necessarily have to have all four of us. It would be nice to have them together once in a while. I'm just about to visit an old friend; maybe I can get some clues from him."
Rhein-Dortmund turned and disappeared into the darkness.
Ishtar disappeared from this space at some unknown time.
Rona looked up at the dark red space with a dark expression. After snapping her fingers, the entire space quickly collapsed and shattered, leaving not a trace behind.
Xu Ning sat on the floating island in the Hidden Dust Cave and had already begun drinking his second jar of wine.
As the space of the Hidden Dust Cave grew larger, the small floating island that Beidou and he had carried in back then also grew to the size of a house.
Xu Ning set up a large Liyue-style wine table under the ginkgo tree that had also grown thicker, with a screen and wine rack beside it. A gentle breeze blew by, making it a pleasant and relaxing place.
In the time it takes to drink a bowl of wine, two god-like figures appear in the two empty seats in front of him.
The acquaintance Xu Ning was waiting for was none other than Rhinedot, who had now become the "Ruler of Life," and was one of the Five Sinners who was once known as "Gold" and had the title of "Witch."
"Although I had already gleaned some clues from Abedo's snippets of conversation, I never imagined you would go to such extremes... Life and Government, back then I invested in you guys just to have you help me with what I wanted to do in the future, but look what happened, you've all become my cronies, begging to be clung to!"
