The Death Knell

Su Ming didn't like the feeling of being suppressed by magical energy.

Although the magic floating cloak gave him a lot of magic resistance, and his own armor also contained n-metal alloy, his heart always felt like it was being squeezed because his body was not used to the high magic concentration.

This feeling is like the last time I faced Emperor Weishan.

But the power of the Witch Mother is deeper and wilder. This disordered power is like an untamed black wild horse, and it is still running wildly in the dark wasteland.

Only a vague outline can be seen, but you can't grasp it with your bare hands.

This feeling becomes more concrete when facing the Witch Mother at close range.

"Witch Mother, please listen to me."

Su Ming did not pull out the weapon. Anyway, the weapon was of no help in killing a concept. It was better to act insignificant so as to get some information out of her mouth.

Anyway, according to the plan, she won’t live long, so let her enjoy the glory of being the God of Witchcraft for the last time...

Hecate was stunned for a moment, she was a little confused.

The mortal in front of her had ruined many things for her, but fortunately she still didn't know what Su Ming had done to that crow god of death.

So seeing the respectful posture of the mortal in front of him, maybe he finally realized that mortals could not fight against gods. Hecate decided to kindly answer his questions before he died.

Yes, he must die as punishment for his previous troubles.

She slightly suppressed the ferocious smile on her face and tried to make an elegant and dignified expression, but it was just like the expression of the old witch when she handed out apples to Snow White.

"Speak, mortal, and I will grant your dying wish."

Su Ming didn't care what she said. Anyway, in his eyes, she was already a dead person, no, a dead 'concept'.

"I have a question. You must have known that the entire universe is on the verge of death. Why did you choose this time to take back your power?"

Hecate looked back at him quietly: "The time for revenge? It has come too late."

"Revenge? Is it because the gods stole witchcraft power from you?"

The witch mother's withered face showed a look of horror: "No, the power of witchcraft is given to them by me."

Next, the Witch Mother told Su Ming another version of the story.

She existed where the universe was born, as a symbol of 'mystery' and 'moon'.

At that time, she was still an innocent girl who liked to run freely in the universe, just like wandering in her own garden.

One day she approached the boundary of the courtyard and discovered that there was another, larger world outside the boundary.

It is full of power, ideas, and energy that can change the world.

She dug a small hole in the fence of her yard and from there she obtained these creative and destructive powers, the witchcraft fires.

This power was so powerful that it even changed her. The concept of 'mystery' she had was even replaced by 'witchcraft'.

While she was playing with the new powers and using them to create a beautiful world, she saw another terrifying and dark existence through the hole she dug in the wall.

It was too dark, even beyond her imagination, and there was no way she would allow such a terrifying being to enter her courtyard.

So she plugged the gaping hole, keeping the dark side of witchcraft outside the wall of origin.

What she wants is a beautiful world that doesn't allow such horrible things to come in.

She began to use the power of witchcraft to transform the world and make everything better, but she gradually found that her work was progressing too slowly by herself.

So she thought about life on various planets, such as some intelligent primates.

She gave them some of her power so that they could use it to create a better home.

Among them, because the earth is favored by God, she naturally spends more power on it, allowing humans to possess the fire of witchcraft.

At first, humans worshiped her, regarded her as one of the creators, worshiped and complimented her.

Whether it was the first mammoth hunted or the first edible wild fruit found in the wild, they were all enshrined on her altar.

It is her witchcraft power that helps humans defeat powerful creatures in the outside world, and it is also her witchcraft that helps the development of civilization.

She was happy to see humans getting better and better, and she gave them more power.

She was just a concept originally and she learned a lot from them.

For example, building a humanoid body, or communicating directly with humans, in short, she becomes more like a human.

It was during this time that she created the first batch of professional wizards in ancient times.

They make a living by casting spells, have the strongest power in the tribe, and gradually begin to enjoy the highest status.

The dominance of each small tribe has changed from the continuation of blood to the strong.

In order to please her, Zeus even made a poisonous oath that all members of the Olympus tribe would always dress like Hecate, just to make her smile and give Olympus more benefits.

Other tribes followed suit, imitating Hecate's hairstyle, her words and deeds, and her aesthetics.

Gradually, the landscape of the world today was formed.

The girl Hecate was very happy. She gave these tribal leaders and these sorcerers more power and made them gods.

Perhaps because they gained more power after becoming gods, they tried harder to please Hecate, hoping that she could join their respective gods. After all, she was the most powerful, and she alone could rival everyone else.

Given that Zeus is the most skilled in flattering, and seems to value her the most.

So choosing from tens of thousands of tribes, Hecate finally decided to join Olympus and became engaged to Zeus's brother, Hades.

She changed her appearance and became more mature. At this time, she had the second of three faces, a beautiful woman.

She felt that to help her husband manage the underworld, she needed a slightly more dignified appearance.

Zeus tried his best to please her at first. In Olympus at that time, the status of Hecate, the god of magic, was even higher than that of Zeus, the king of heaven.

But after a while, Zeus found that Hecate was unwilling to use more power.

Hecate thinks that they already have enough power to change the world, so why do they need more?

She doesn't understand human greed. Zeus, who was once a human, or other gods, they all have it.

They want to destroy their enemies and become the sole overlord of the earth.

Then, the secret alliance 'Prometheus' was established. They were composed of the main gods of the major pantheons. They set a trap, prayed for Hecate to come, and trapped her with the power of God.

He used her like a battery, extracting the witchcraft fire from her body and using it himself.

But Hecate could not escape the power of God. She could only cry every day and pray for her fiancé to save her.

Hundreds of years later, she finally waited for Hades, but Hades did not come to save her, but came to tell her that he was getting married to his niece, Persephone.

The last illusions in Hecate's heart were shattered, and she was filled with darkness.

But for some reason, this darkness and despair resonated with the witchcraft in her body. Her strength led to explosive growth. She finally knew this power known as magic...

Comes from darkness and thrives on the heart of darkness.

She broke through the magic circle that trapped her. At that time, she had power second only to God himself. Those props contaminated with God's power could no longer trap her.

She also gained a third face, the resentful woman, and became a three-phase goddess.

She killed Olympus and planned to destroy all gods, not just Olympus, but all gods.

All the gods came and trembled before her eyes, begging her forgiveness on their knees.

Zeus fell to the ground like a dead dog, squirming and licking her toes. Hades immediately killed Persephone, saying that the only people he loved were Hecate, Poseidon and Hera, and he kept explaining that it was Misunderstand.

But she has seen through people's hearts and will not have any good wishes for people.

She would not let them go, but the energy in her body was growing too fast. If the darkness in her heart was allowed to ferment again, she would be burst.

She knocked the gods' temples from the sky around the world to the ground and left after sternly warning them that they would never be her equal.

She divided her power into six parts, keeping one part for herself to exercise and control, and the other five parts were hidden in inconspicuous humans.

When the older generation of engravers dies, she will secretly find new ones to engrave.

The gods never imagined that the power they wanted most was right under their noses. This fooling method gave Hecate even more pleasure in revenge.

She knew that what she wanted was revenge and resentment, and she had to wait for the right time, the time to destroy everything.

But now, God has changed and can no longer hinder her movements.
