Start with Island Lord

Gray City Suburbs.

Rosen had never heard of the surname ‘Lodanil’, but he remembered the name ‘Egdelin’.

He was a little surprised and raised his hand to point to the sky: “Are you that one?”

The woman nodded slightly: “Yes.”

Rosen was half-believing and half-doubting.

He believed because he did feel that the other party had a very powerful soul, which was obviously much stronger than Adela of the 21st ring.

He did not believe because Egdelin was the Queen of Pain and the person with the highest status in the abyss. It was not very reliable for her to appear alone in such a wilderness.

Of course, he was in a similar state at present, but he did so out of helplessness.

While thinking, he crossed his arms around his chest, slowly leaned back on the back of the stone chair, and looked at the black-robed girl in front of him with a scrutinizing look.

“To be honest, I don’t believe it.”

The black-robed girl thought for a while, raised her hand and inserted it into the air around her, and her palm sank into the air, and then she took out a Queen’s Ring out of thin air.

She carefully looked at the exquisitely crafted time and space artifact.

"This plane was originally called Immortal Life, and it is the birthplace of eternal civilization. Our control over the space where this plane is located has reached the extreme of mortals."

"As the supreme being of the plane, I have the supreme authority over the plane space. For any illegal time and space treasure spell, I have the right to explore the items stored in it."

After that, she handed the Queen's Ring back to Rosen: "The artifact is very well made. Even in our Eternal Empire, it is a rare boutique."

This move is very powerful, but not silent. Rosen can clearly perceive the whole process. If necessary, he can also intercept it.

Reaching out to take the Queen's Ring, his fingertips lightly touched the other person's fingers, and he felt a cool and smooth touch.

He secretly praised in his heart: 'Hmm~ The skin is really smooth. '

Of course, it was just a thought in his mind, but his face was stern.

"The proof is very good, but from a logical point of view, there are definitely more than one person in the abyss who can do this."

While speaking, Rosen also secretly contacted Adela, who had returned to Moon City, through the newly developed time and space mental secret language to verify with her.

After a while, Adela quietly responded: "No, the queen is in the palace. We were talking half an hour ago."

Rosen's heart was slightly shocked, but his face remained calm, and he contacted Patnaros again to verify with her.

Paternaros replied: "I confirm that the queen is in the palace."

"But I don't know why, I think the queen's recent behavior is a bit strange, and occasionally gives people a feeling of absent-mindedness."

Rosen thought for a while, and secretly contacted Liv again: "A woman came to me, with a more superior time and space power than me, and claimed to be Queen Egdelyn, but I suspect she is the incarnation of a true god from another world."

Liv immediately responded: "What does she look like?"

Rosen directly used the induction spell to directly transmit the image of the black-robed girl in front of him.

A few seconds later, Liv responded, with a hint of suppressed fear in her voice.

"She looks almost exactly like the goddess of annihilation, Felicis!"

In other words, this is most likely the incarnation of the goddess of annihilation.

Rosen's heart suddenly condensed, but then he thought, this is not the goddess's body after all, her power is only 23 rings, and she definitely has no absolute certainty of defeating him, otherwise she would never talk nonsense with him.

Thinking of this, he felt much more relaxed.

"Miss, I just asked my friends carefully, but the results I got are somewhat different from what you said."

A faint fluctuation appeared on the frosty face of the black-robed girl.

"Your Majesty Rosen, I didn't expect you to be so well-informed, and your space-time power is indeed at the top of mortals."

"Even my incarnation has no absolute certainty of defeating you."

After saying this, a strange black light shone in the eyes of the black-robed girl, giving people the feeling that they were two black holes with huge accretion disks.

Her whole body immediately showed an enormous soul pressure.

This pressure was so strong that it far exceeded that of the Joyer and the Blood Drinker, making Rosen feel an inescapable sense of suffocation.

It was like falling into the sun, with endless destructive power everywhere.

But he also knew in his heart that all this was just a mental illusion, not actual power.

Otherwise, with this power alone, the other party could directly dominate this plane, and there was no need to be cautious or show up to talk to him.

So, just keep the mentality of "let him be strong".

"It turns out that it is the great Filiqis who has come in person."

"Greetings to you, the great Annihilator."

The black-robed girl's 'black hole eyes' stared at Rosen: "Emperor of Mortals, you are much braver than I thought, I admire you."

"Since you recognized me, I will tell the truth."

"I already know the fact that you are cooperating with the Joyer, and I can probably guess your plan. I also recognize your ability."

"But I want to say that the Joyer is just the God of Prostitutes. She is well-informed, but she has almost no help to you in terms of power."

"Just the two of you are not enough to stop the invasion of the gods."

Rosen's heart moved, and he understood a little: "Great One, do you want to form an alliance with us?"

"Yes, I recognize you as my allies to form a new Annihilation God System in this new world."

"In the pantheon, I serve as the main god, and you and the Happy One serve as my slave gods."

Hearing this, Rosen did not feel any joy in his heart, but fell into deep thinking.

If you consider it purely from the perspective of interests, this choice seems to be not bad.

But ever since he decided to light the divine fire, Rosen has been thinking about his future path.

What kind of god will he become?

What kind of thoughts will be used to gather the beliefs of mortals?

Is it to twist one's own nature and become a vine that changes according to the situation?

Or should you follow your own nature and grow into a towering tree for mortals to follow and worship?

After thinking about it, he believed that eternal gods are different from mortals.

Gods cannot go against their nature, because a changeable God will make mortal believers at a loss.

Naturally, there is no firm belief. Once a better choice appears, believers will immediately abandon God.

Therefore, the biggest core of whether to agree to the alliance request of the Goddess of Annihilation Felicis is not the current interests and situation, but whether he and the Goddess of Annihilation can pee in the same pot.

If the ideals of both parties are completely inconsistent, the consequences of forcibly forming an alliance will definitely be a tragedy.

Considering that the Goddess of Annihilation is the fifth-level supreme true god, the consequences of the tragedy will most likely be borne by him and the Happy One.

After thinking about it, Rosen asked: "Great One, I want to ask you a few questions."

"Excuse me."

"What do you think of the current situation in Gray City?"

"I think this place is terrible and it would be best to destroy it completely and then rebuild a new world full of order."

This answer is very good, indicating that the other party is a god who pursues order.

But this is not enough.

Rosen asked again: "There are many kinds of order. What kind of order does the great want?"

"An order so pure that there is no impurity, there are punishments for crimes, and rewards for merit. The whole world is like a precision-operated gear set. Every individual can find the position that suits them best and has a predictable path to advancement."

"Reaching the finish line so smoothly."

This answer is not suitable because the other party pursues absolute order.

Rosen has been the mortal emperor for many years, and he is very aware of the nature of mortals.

It is absolutely impossible for mortals to achieve absolute order. Even the world itself is not in absolute order and is always full of various unexpected events.

The goddess of annihilation saw Rosen's different thoughts:

"I know that my pursuit is too ideal, but the ultimate fate of the world is to be annihilated into nothingness."

"Now that the end point has been determined, the question is how to resist the end point smoothly."

Rosen understood and asked: "So, reaching the destination smoothly is the ultimate ideal of a great person?"

"That's right."

"Tsk~"

Rosen smacked his lips a little: "Great man, this ideal is really gloomy."

The goddess of annihilation nodded slightly: "It is indeed dark, and I don't like it very much, but this is the fate of the world, and it does not change based on the preferences of life, even if it is an eternal god."

Rosen shook his head: "Great man, my views are quite different from yours."

"Tell me and listen."

"I believe that the emergence of life is a challenge to cold fate."

"Even if the ultimate destiny of the world is to move towards annihilation into nothingness, as long as life continues to pursue a higher level, it is possible to break through this destiny."

"Even if nothingness comes, we still have the ability to recreate a new world in nothingness."

An expression visible to the naked eye finally appeared on the frost-like face of the goddess of annihilation, which was a kind of mockery.

"Mortal, I can understand your ignorance. Because with your current vision, of course you don't know the terrible fate of the world."

"But when you successfully ignite the divine fire and see the ultimate future of time and space, you will agree with me."

"This is also the view of every true god in our world."

"The end of the world is the nothingness of annihilation. Because of this, I, who possess the godhead of annihilation, can be promoted to the Supreme!"

Rosen understood the subconscious meaning of this statement.

In other words, if he firmly believes that life can break through the ultimate destiny of the world, it will pose a substantial challenge to the annihilation of the godhead.

But he is absolutely unwilling to accept his final fate, recognize the concept of the Goddess of Annihilation, and move smoothly towards the end of the world in absolute order.

Therefore, the two may be able to form a temporary alliance due to the current situation, but in the end, they will definitely be mortal enemies.

The goddess of annihilation also felt Rosen's hesitation, and she sighed softly.

"Sure enough, fate is fate. Even if I want to make some breakthroughs, I will still fail."

Rosen raised his eyebrows: "Great man, you have actually seen the future, and in this future, we are fatal enemies, right?"

The goddess of annihilation nodded slightly: "Yes, in the illusion of time, my power and status will be greatly weakened because of you."

"What a pity~~What a pity~~~~"

She shook her head repeatedly, and the loose frost on her face completely solidified.

"Mortal Emperor, this is a good place to fight."

"I admire your fighting spirit, so I'll give you a chance to strike first."

Rosen took a deep breath: "Is there no need to discuss it, Great One?"

"No need to discuss! We must distinguish between us!"

Rosen's heart moved slightly: "Isn't there any distinction between life and death?"

"Then it depends on your ability!"
