Chapter 480: Death and Fate

"What happened?" Helga came closer.

She noticed that Rowena's expression had changed drastically, and she immediately realized that something big must have happened, otherwise, given the old raven's character, he would never lose his composure like that.

"Wait a moment." Rowena did not answer her old friend's question immediately, but started to manipulate the crystal ball.

She couldn't let Salazar's alias continue to stay at the top of the list, as it would bring him trouble, especially since his score was a bit too amazing.

Soon, Les Lint's name disappeared from the top of the list and returned to the bottom of the list in less than a minute.

Although the time was extremely short, some people noticed the abnormality of the rankings.

"Did you see that just now? Les Lint seems to have suddenly shot to the top of the list."

"Ah? I didn't see it. How many points did he get?"

"A few... tens of thousands? Anyway, I didn't count how many digits there were..."

"Are you kidding me?"

"He's at the bottom of the list now, so there must be something wrong with the points system..."

Several students who noticed the change in the rankings had a heated discussion and soon concluded that there was something wrong with the rankings. Otherwise, it was impossible to explain why Les Lint's ranking had soared and why he had suddenly gained such an amazing number of points.

"Of course, maybe our Mr. Linte has transformed into a mysterious man and is killing people in the competition venue." Someone made a witty remark as if joking, but no one wanted to pay attention to him.

Although the mysterious man has been in a slump recently, the psychological shadow he has left on the contemporary magic world is still very deep, and no one is willing to joke about it.

After Rowena cleared the mess for Salazar, she relayed her findings to Helga.

After hearing this, Helga frowned.

"Obviously, Salazar has gone crazy with killing." Helga came to the most likely conclusion.

Rowena didn't know what to say.

How should I put it? This doesn't seem like Salazar. This is too Gryffindor! But on second thought, this seems very Salazar.

In the other world, the restraints they exert on Salazar would be weakened to the extreme, and Salazar could lower his moral standards to a terrifying level. In this state, Salazar was much more aggressive than Godric.

"Contact him and ask him to calm down a bit?" Helga felt that there were still dozens of students in the competition venue, and Salazar shouldn't get too excited and involve them.

"There's no point in contacting them now..." Rowena shrugged her shoulders, spread her hands helplessly, and transferred the real data from the background to Helga.

Looking at Salazar's ever-increasing points, Helga found it difficult to hold back.

"Because of the damage he has done, I guess you can't even find a few decent masters in your little world." Helga commented.

"That's exactly what I want. That's the point of sending him in." Rowena supported Salazar, even though his movements were indeed a bit too loud.

But it is precisely in this way that she can restart the alchemy world as soon as possible and bring this out-of-control world back under her control.

"Look, the points are not moving!" After chatting with Rowena for a while, Helga noticed that the numbers behind the name "Les Lint" no longer changed, so she immediately poked Rowena, indicating that she could start contacting Salazar.

However, the "call" Rowena made was not answered.

After a few minutes, Rice's points rose sharply again.

Rowena, Helga: ...

"Looks like he's fighting some tough fella."

Rowena sighed.

"There's no need to keep contacting him. He'll contact us when it's over."

Helga frowned, she had a bad feeling.

"Do you think Salazar will be defeated..." She hesitated for a long time, and finally revealed her thoughts to her old friend.

Rowena was startled.

"Not really. That's Salazar. He may look young, but in my opinion, his strength hasn't declined much since his peak."

Although Rowena rarely expressed her approval of Salazar openly, deep down in her heart she actually agreed that Salazar had gone further on the road to eternal life than any of the other three.

If she were to tell the truth, she would admit that Salazar's life extension plan did have the least side effects and was also quite effective in preserving one's personal strength - except for Helga's case, which could no longer be considered life extension because the length of her life had not actually changed, she had just become a time traveler.

Among the three, Rowena's method has the greatest side effects and causes the greatest loss of strength.

"Are you sure he can handle the enemies in the Alchemy World?"

"..."

Rowena remained silent in response to Helga's question.

Helga:? ? ?

"Royna, say something!" Helga felt even more panicked.

Originally, she just felt in her heart that the old snake might be in bad condition, but the old raven's silence shocked her.

Is it really possible that Salazar will fail?!

"Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any problem." Rowena was silent for a long time before she finally uttered a sentence.

"Under normal circumstances?"

"I mean single combat." Rowena was still quite confident in Salazar. She didn't think there would be anyone in her little world who could defeat Salazar single combat.

"Is that the normal situation now?"

Helga's question made Rowena shut her mouth again.

Helga understood everything at once.

Judging from the speed at which Salazar's points increased just now, it doesn't seem like he is fighting alone against the natives of the alchemy world!

The old Viper should be fighting fiercely with the world's top combat forces.

At this time, Rice's points soared again.

Rowena and Helga took a deep breath at the same time: the increase in the last three rounds is almost catching up with the total increase in the previous rounds...

And the points are ranked according to the strength of killing enemies...

Rowena and Helga no longer dared to think about what Salazar was facing.

"Can we help? Rowena, we can't just stand there and watch!" Salazar's situation should be very dangerous at this moment. Helga felt that they should both lend a helping hand.

Otherwise, when Salazar comes out of the alchemy world, how should they face him?

"If I could help, why would I--" Rowena was also a little impatient. Wasn't the reason why she sent Salazar in because she had lost control of this little world?

Her intervention had little effect.

But Rowena narrowed her eyes suddenly when she was halfway through her words.

"You know what, I can really give it a try." As she spoke, she brought Helga quickly to the competition venue and touched her hand on the boundary wall between the alchemy world and the real world.

"I can create the illusion of restarting the alchemy world and attract the attention of the world's will." Rowena explained her idea to Helga while she was busy.

In her opinion, Salazar's current situation was most likely targeted by the world's will, so she only needed to involve a part of the world's will's energy, which would effectively help Salazar.

Thinking of it, Rowena took action immediately.

As soon as she came into contact with it, Rowena immediately noticed something unusual - the will of the alchemy world had weakened too much. She was now even able to directly restart the alchemy world.

Of course, she could only think so, because dozens of contestants and Salazar were still in the Alchemy World.

If she chooses to restart now, Salazar will most likely be safe, but it is hard to say about those little wizards.

"Salazar did a great job." Rowena couldn't help but sigh.

In the matter of the alchemy world, Salazar really helped me a lot.

At this time, everyone in the Alchemy World - including the contestants - was running away.

I don't know why, but the disaster suddenly struck.

The terrible flood swept everything, turning half of the continent into a swamp. Along with the flood, there were also hurricanes, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

At least in the eyes of ordinary people in the alchemy world, these are the names of disasters.

However, if you are more knowledgeable, you will understand that a war between gods has broken out, and all those natural disasters were caused by the war between gods.

There are god-level beings fighting!

But no matter whether they can see through the nature of the disaster or not, they have to flee.

The gods who fought were naturally Rice and the local gods of the alchemy world, each of which controlled an element. The battle between Rice and the four gods destroyed half of the continent and returned the land to its natural state.

Although the gods had the advantage of the terrain, they were not as good as Rice in the development and utilization of their domains. These four guys didn't even understand their own domains, let alone awakening them. In addition, Rice's first-mover advantage allowed him to fight four enemies alone without losing.

In the end, due to the lack of coordination among the four gods and the fact that the domain of the God of Water and Rice almost completely overlapped, Rice finally made a breakthrough in the God of Water, exchanged his injury for his life, and forcibly killed the God of Water. Then, after fighting for a while, he killed the God of Fire and the God of Earth, who were slightly inferior in strength, in one fell swoop.

Although three of the four gods have died, the situation has not improved, because the remaining Wind God is the strongest, and with the blessing of the world's will, Rice himself has also been severely damaged.

If the fighting continues like this, both sides will most likely perish together.

Rice was prepared for the worst.

But at this moment, the world's will's suppression of Rice suddenly weakened too much, and the authority of the God of Wind was also greatly weakened.

Rice and the God of Wind exclaimed at the same time, but Rice shouted "Royna" and the God of Wind shouted "The Great Catastrophe of Destruction".

Since the world's will is too busy to take care of other things, Rice will naturally not miss such a good opportunity.

With the cooperation of Rowena outside the field, Rice finally eliminated the last enemy.

After collecting the blue-green fragments of the world that exploded from the God of Wind into his arms, Rice fell back to the ground.

After struggling to get back to the ground, Rice could no longer suppress the injuries in his body, and the wounds left by various enemies burst out. His momentum also weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a large number of scales grew uncontrollably on the surface of his body.

Les understood that this was caused by the injury to his soul having completely gotten out of control.

He should start arranging some things.

After staggering forward a few steps, Les walked into a forest that had not yet been destroyed by the aftermath of the battle.

He found a random tree and sat down on the ground leaning against the trunk. He reached into his arms and took out the crystal ball issued by the Ministry of Magic.

Looking at the intact crystal ball, Rice couldn't help but chuckle.

This crystal ball is of very good quality.

In such a fierce battle just now, the crystal ball miraculously was not destroyed. This can be considered a small miracle.

"Damn Rowena, she didn't intervene sooner and still wanted to make a 'phone call'." After holding the crystal ball and leaving a bloody handprint on it, Rice couldn't help but complain about Rowena's actions.

When he was fighting fiercely with the four gods, Rowena actually gave him a "phone call". At that time, Les really couldn't help but swear.

Now, when everything was settled, Les took the initiative to contact Rowena.

The moment the "phone call" was made, Rowena picked up the phone, and then she was shocked by the appearance of Salazar in the crystal ball.

"What the hell? Salazar, are you okay?"

Les:…

"This question is a bit too Helga." Rice couldn't help but retorted to her.

Does he look like he's okay?!

"I'm right next to you." Helga said in dissatisfaction. But when she came closer, she was also startled by Salazar's appearance.

At this time, most of Salazar's face was covered with green snake scales. The eyes in the area covered by the scales had completely turned into snake pupils. As for the part that was not covered by the scales, it was completely bloodless, just like a corpse.

"Salazar, you..." Helga wanted Salazar to stop chatting with them and heal his wounds first. But when the words came to her lips, she remembered that Salazar was the best at healing among the four of them, and he was the one who was injured, so there was really no need for her to say anything more.

His choice is definitely the most correct one.

"It can't be cured. The physical wounds are okay, but the wounds to the soul are too heavy." Rice's tone was calm, as if he was not talking about himself.

It is hard to say whether Les's soul is more broken at this moment or Voldemort's.

The natives of the alchemy world were still very powerful and left him with many incurable injuries.

After the voice from the crystal ball came out, Rowena and Helga fell silent at the same time.

Finally, Rowena took a deep breath and told Salazar not to let his imagination run wild.

"You hold on for now. Helga and I will find a solution. When the game is over—"

"I'm dying."

Rowena was choked for a moment, and then she felt a surge of anger rushing to her head.

"Salazar, what nonsense are you talking about! Are you looking down on me? I tell you, I can easily find a hundred treatment plans-"

“This is what the prophet predicted.”

"Huh?!" Rowena and Helga were both stunned.

"This is fate. There is no need to force it to change. This is not a bad thing. You two should just listen to me..." Les' voice continued to come from the crystal ball.

His tone was calm and steady, and it made Rowena and Helga feel a little relieved.

The two decided to hear what Salazar really thought first.
