Chapter 1096: Xisong's Sacrifice, It Seems to Be Like This

Chapter 1096: Xisong's Sacrifice, It Seems to Be Like This

"Ancestor, this is wine made from rainbow fruit." Wanda cautiously handed Horn a glass of fruit wine that exuded colorful light and a strong sweet aroma.

"Don't be too nervous, I just came to see my granddaughter-in-law." Horn smiled familiarly, then picked up the wine glass and tasted it carefully, "Not bad, this kid knows how to enjoy himself."

Horn looked at Wanda with satisfaction, and in his heart he once again confirmed Aaron's vision.

"He said you were a special witch. Very special indeed."

"No! My magic is far inferior to his."

“But you are indeed special.” Horn stared into Wanda’s eyes, as if he could see through her pupils to the essence of magic. “Scarlet Witch, agent of the Hades, Sithon, but it seems that you have not yet awakened.”

"What agent?" Wanda asked, confused.

"Your magic is chaos magic, and its quality ranks among the top five in the entire multiverse.

This magic comes from a very powerful lord of the dimension, Xisong, the god of the underworld who controls the dark magic. "

"I thought it was a supernatural power I gained accidentally!"

"This extraordinary ability is incredible, but it is not without a price. You are the sacrifice carefully selected by Xithorne."

"Sacrifice?" Wanda widened her eyes in panic. She didn't know anything about the god of the underworld, Xithorn, but the word sacrifice made her shudder.

“As long as your chaos magic is developed to a certain level, you should be able to sense him.

To be exact, he can sense you, capture your location, control your body and mind, and help him remove the seal.

When necessary, he can even ask you to sacrifice yourself, using you as an anchor to guide his clone into reality.

With Sithon's status and the Scarlet Witch who has awakened chaos magic as a sacrifice, the clone that descended is at least at the level of a Father-in-the-Sky, and is close to the Father-in-the-Sky of a single universe. There are almost no people in this universe who can stop him."

Gulu!

Wanda couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and felt like a big "danger" was hanging on her head.

"I think I understand why Aaron is so secretive about my abilities."

“He only knows that you are a pawn of an ancient god and that the power you possess comes from him, but he doesn’t know that the ancient god is the god of the underworld, Xisong.” Hela smiled meaningfully, “When it comes to the unknown, he always stays away from it.

No matter who the source of your power is, as long as you don't use this power, your connection with him will not be so deep, and naturally you will not be affected by him.

In a sense, the contract you signed with Aaron that restricted your use of chaos magic can be considered a form of protection for you."

"This..." Wanda looked at Horn hesitantly, "Is this possible?"

“In theory, yes, but Sithorn has lived for countless years after all, and he won’t put all his hopes of breaking the seal on Scarlet Witch.

You are a key, but you are not the only key.

Once the lock is opened, Sithorn will naturally take back everything that belongs to him.

Ancient gods are usually very stingy, only a few are generous, but the name of Xisong the God of Hell can make demons tremble. He will not tolerate you taking his power, unless... you surrender to him, but Xisong's servants usually have no good end. "

"Is there any solution?"

"Of course there are, and there are several!" Horn teased, "The first one is with Aaron. He can help you sever the connection between Chaos Magic and Xithorn once and for all, but he will face a more terrifying danger than Xithorn."

"Change it." Wanda said without thinking.

“The second one is still with him.

When his training is finished, he will take you back to his original universe.

There is a magic defense array designed by the Ishukar family, which cannot be broken by a mere god of black magic like him."

"What if he breaks it?" Wanda asked nervously, "Wouldn't that bring danger to your universe?"

“If he breaks through, he will be greeted by dense attack arrays. He will be completely annihilated, and even the traces of his existence will disappear completely.

That is a kind of erasure at the root and concept, and he absolutely cannot escape it."

Wanda and the other two looked at each other, their hearts filled with turmoil.

To them, Xithorn was an enemy that was too powerful to be defeated, but in the mouth of this ancestor...it seemed that was all.

"Uh...are these the only two?"

“There is also a third type, which is to have strength that surpasses Xithorn, or to obtain the protection of someone more powerful than Xithorn.

There are such people in the entire multiverse, but almost no one would offend the powerful god of black magic for a little girl."

Wanda smiled awkwardly. Horn proposed three methods, but it seemed that only the second one was more practical. The first and third ones could just be treated as jokes.

"It tastes good." Horn took another sip of rainbow fruit wine, then turned his gaze to Hela, "Are you Odin's eldest daughter?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Did you know that you and Aaron are engaged?"

"Engagement?" x2.

Wanda and Jane looked at each other, then looked at Hela, "Is this true?"

“The verbal engagement was made between him and my grandfather Bor. I don’t recognize it.” Hela pretended to be calm and said, then looked at the two people and the Holy Dragon eating melons beside them with a warning look, “You’d better not spread it around.”

"Actually, I don't mind." Wanda raised an eyebrow and said, "If you want to marry him, I will definitely support you."

“Haha!” Hela rolled her eyes and smiled without saying anything.

"He said you were a yandere and forced him to kneel with a sword when we first met." Horn wanted to watch the fun and decided to add fuel to the fire before leaving.

Hela shrugged, "I said he was a coward!"

"That's called being able to bend and stretch." Horn said seriously, "Before you have sufficient strength, it is necessary to pretend to be a grandson.

If you insist on showing off, the result is that you will be beaten into a jerk. You should have a deep understanding of this."

Hela snorted coldly and threatened: “Don’t forget, you are just a clone.”

"That's why I speak freely." Horn looked at her with a playful smile, and then gradually restrained his expression, "Aaron is the most outstanding heir of the Gaius family in the past hundred years. You will definitely not suffer any loss if you marry him."

"I'm the queen, and I don't want to marry him."

"The first half is true, but the second half sounds a bit insincere."

Swish!

The Night Sky Sword was placed across Horn's neck. Hela's face was gloomy. "Try to say something nonsense again?"

"You know whether you are talking nonsense or not." Horn gently pushed away the sword and said with a meaningful smile, "Besides, I am your elder after all, there is no need to use the sword!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hela's eyes flashed, and the tip of the sword pointed at Horn's throat.

"Okay! I admit that my clone can't beat you.

But if I fight with you, it will make too much noise and easily attract other people's attention."

"Humph!"

Hela snorted coldly and took back the Night Sky Sword.

Horn shrugged. "Your engagement with him was made thousands of years ago. Why do you think I should make this engagement with Bor?"

"prophecy?"

"She is worthy of being the granddaughter-in-law I carefully selected."

"I don't believe in prophecies."

“Bor didn’t believe it, and Odin didn’t want to believe it either, so this engagement came about.

You know whether you like him or not. As for whether you will marry him... in my opinion, you will definitely do so, but the process will be a little tortuous.

But it doesn’t matter, you are destined to be the daughter-in-law of the Gaius family. "

Hela’s face twitched and she wanted to say something but was speechless.

"I'll see."

As the words fell, the others all smiled knowingly.

"Then it's your turn." Horn stood up and walked to Jane, looking her up and down meaningfully, "Interesting, really interesting, I've never seen a vampire as special as you.

According to the pantheon standards of this universe, you can now call yourself a god."

"This is a gift from the master." Jane said respectfully.

“I didn’t realize that guy has so many tricks up his sleeve.

He is not stingy with his women, which is like me."

"I am just the master's maid."

"Ordinary maids are not eligible for such a reward." Horn gave her a meaningful smile and encouraged her, "The appearance of the vampires varies. The high ones are very high, and the low ones are very low.

You are one of those who are particularly tall. He chose you, and that is your chance. As long as you are a little bold, it won’t be difficult to go from a maid to a mistress.”

Jane nodded blankly, and a slight blush appeared on her flawless face.

"I knew it would be like this." Wanda said sarcastically, "But it seems to be like this."

"I should go too." Horn stretched and said, "By the way, don't tell him what I said to you. Just pretend nothing happened."

“No problem.” Hela was the first to express her opinion. At least she didn’t intend to let Aaron know that there was an engagement between Gaius and Asgard.

Wanda and Jane also nodded silently, as if Horn Gaius had just glanced at them in the mirror space and they knew nothing.

......

In the new year, Aaron concluded his first family meeting in the spiritual world.

After dismissing everyone, he quietly opened his personal panel.

[Host: Aaron Gaius]

[Magic power: Body:, Intermediate Grand Mage; Thought body:, Intermediate Grand Mage; Total (High-level Holy Mage/Sub-Father Peak/Lord of Shadow Dimension)]

[Talent: Once-in-a-lifetime (the magic energy increases by 4 points every day, the body increases by 2 points, and the thoughts body increases by 2 points)]

[Items: Magic Carpet, Gaius Compass (Captain Jack's Compass), Book of Prophecy, Wei Zheng's Altar, Pensieve, Ice Box, Confession Compass, Shiva Temple Bracelet, Blood Flower, Senzu Beans, Angel Feather...]

[Magic Point: 880]

In recent months, nothing major has happened on Earth or in the universe.

Aaron was also happy and stable. He spent most of his time with Wanda, and occasionally went to talk to Daisy and Jean. His life was relatively comfortable.

But looking at the data panel with slow growth and almost no changes, he couldn't help but feel worried.

He longed for a stable life, but without sufficient strength, the so-called stability was just an illusion.

No, I can’t stay in my comfort zone anymore, I have to go out and find something to do.

Aaron thought secretly that he urgently needed the system to issue tasks, otherwise if he only relied on signing in to accumulate magic points, his development speed would be much slower.

"System, don't you think you've been a lot lazier lately?"

"This system will return this sentence to the host intact." The system responded with a disdainful tone, "It is precisely because of the host's laziness that the system has fallen into silence."

Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then he suddenly felt something and summoned out the book of prophecy.

"Master, there just happened to be a new prophecy."

"Tell me."

"The ancient god Ego bared his fangs and pointed his bloody mouth at the many planets with life."

"What does this have to do with me?" Aaron asked bewilderedly.

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.

There are so many gods in the universe, and there is nothing they can't do, as long as they can't be affected.

"Congratulations to the host for triggering a new task. Please check the task panel in time."

uh-huh!

Aaron raised his eyebrows. This prophecy might have nothing to do with him before, but it’s hard to say now.

He opened the task panel and saw that the blue screen, which had been cleaner than his face in the past few months, had two more lines of standard fonts that made him feel familiar.

[Kill the god Ego and defend the peace of the universe;

Completing the mission will reward you with 3000 magic points; there will be no penalty for mission failure; do you accept it? 】

"Sure enough, you know how to game the system."

"The host can choose not to accept it." The system said calmly, as if it was certain of Aaron's choice.

"Don't accept? Why not?" Aaron stared at the fascinating number on the task panel. It was a huge order of three thousand. He would definitely regret it if he missed it.

"Host, don't you consider the difficulty of the mission?" The system reminded sarcastically, "This time the opponent is an ancient god.

This system once again emphasizes that it is the ancient gods. "

"I understand." Aaron snapped his fingers. "The ancient gods are definitely not sub-fathers like Thor who only lived for more than a thousand years and still relied on artifacts to guide their divine power."

“But this number is really attractive, wealth and honor come at the cost of risk!

There is no penalty for mission failure. If the idea is too difficult, I will just give up. When it is time to give in, I will definitely follow my heart."

system:......

The host is still the same host, nothing has changed.

"Accept the mission, you must accept it." Aaron said very seriously, then put away the book of prophecy and summoned the body of thought to the spiritual world.

The original body and the clone smiled at each other, as if they understood each other's thoughts.

"I am quite relieved that you did not impose this difficult task on my clone."

"It's because Ancestor Horn only left one ring." Aaron said helplessly, "This job is not easy. There is a high possibility that magic will be used. It won't work without the protection of the ring."

"You still need my identity, and the help of Yak and the others." The thought body smiled easily, "Before you complete this task, I will cover your identity.

But what if something big happens on Earth during your mission?"

Aaron:......

"Adapt to circumstances and do what needs to be done."
