Soul Sovereign Rosso's soul illusion in the extreme north had fooled the entire group of strong figures, including Link .

This type of seemingly real, seemingly unreal spell was the strongest illusion in the world . It affected the soul directly . If one's spell wasn't strong enough or if one wasn't observant enough, they would never be able to break free .

Link had once fallen for it, so he now understood this type of spell .

This time, he immediately discovered what was abnormal . In reality, starting with the yellow-green fog, the river, the island, and the woman on the island were all illusions! However, it was the G.o.d of Destruction's first time experiencing this kind of spell . Even after all this time, she still didn't notice anything wrong .

After Link mentioned it, she froze and then stared closely at the island for three full minutes . She sighed . "I can't believe such an illusion exists in the world . I didn't even notice . "

This way, she had no trump cards . None of her underlings had followed over either . This meant that she was facing Link all alone . No matter if she won or lost, she would pay heavily for it . Deep inside, she didn't have the confidence to win at all .

She turned to look at Link . "You appeared voluntarily . Are you prepared to fight to the death with me?"

"What else could it be?" He tapped the Ode of a Full Moon, making crisp dings . Celine hadn't appeared, but she'd arranged his illusion to create the best battle environment . Nothing was holding him back now . It was the best time for a final fight!

Unexpectedly, the G.o.d of Destruction suddenly shook her head . "No, no, no, not so fast . I still have something to say . "

"Oh?" Link didn't act . He wanted to see what the other could do .

The G.o.d of Destruction's weapon was a dark gold spear . Right now, she decided to put it away . "I think that the conflicts between us can be resolved . It isn't my wish to chase after Celine Flandre . I was forced by the Ruler of Light and Darkness . If you can help me defeat him, we can become temporary allies . "

Link didn't really believe the G.o.d of Destruction's words .

"I have a reason for this . Listen closely . " She even decided to cancel the magic s.h.i.+eld on her surface . If Link attacked suddenly, she would be in a horrible situation . With Link's incomprehensible style of attacking, she would be dead within seconds .

But Link didn't move . He was attracted by the word "ally . " He was definitely at a disadvantage against the Ruler of Light and Darkness . He needed as many allies as possible .

He still held his sword, but the tip was pointed down now .

He still held his sword, but the tip was pointed down now .

"I'm sure you know about my background . Travel Magician Aisenis has many connections and he's a businessman . He must have sold my information to you, right?"

Link nodded .

The G.o.d of Destruction shrugged . "Then it's easy . I came to Firuman because there was a giant crack in the realm . I wanted to take advantage of it . But now, things are different . Not only has the crack disappeared, Firuman has become stronger too . I'm not able to harm this realm at all with my current power, right?"

"Indeed . The only true G.o.d in the Sea of Void is the Ruler of Light and Darkness . I've experienced his strength before . You're nothing in comparison . "

"That is insulting, but it's the truth . Firuman has now become a battlefield for the true G.o.ds . I'm stuck in the middle like an ant that can be crushed at any time . I'm not stupid . Why should I work for the Ruler of Light and Darkness? So if you help me through this, I'll leave immediately . Before leaving, I promise I'll help you fight the Ruler of Light and Darkness together . After I leave, I won't return as long as you're here!"

Admittedly, this was a tempting suggestion . Link was confident he could defeat the G.o.d of Destruction, but everything had an "if . " And even if he won, he would've used up a lot of power and energy .

Thinking of this, he said, "Tell me what I can do for you . "

The G.o.d of Destruction sighed in relief and looked happy . "In the Sea of Void, I'd faced the Ruler of Light and Darkness' consciousness . He'd sealed most of my power and signed a contract with my soul . If I betray him, I'll immediately face his punishment . "

The G.o.d of Destruction sighed in relief and looked happy . "In the Sea of Void, I'd faced the Ruler of Light and Darkness' consciousness . He'd sealed most of my power and signed a contract with my soul . If I betray him, I'll immediately face his punishment . "

Pain appeared in her expression as she spoke . At the same time, Link felt a heavy consciousness descend . He didn't feel any pressure, but the surrounding illusions all vanished .

The fog, river, and island all disappeared, revealing a vast swamp . Link had an idea about what happened .

"Can you handle it?"

Dark red light flowed through the G.o.d of Destruction . Her eyes shone while her brows furrowed tightly . She was clearly shouldering great pressure . "Thankfully, the realm is blocking it . With my Divine Fragment, I can manage to resist his consciousness, but this won't last long . The closer he is, the bigger the pressure . When he reaches the outer surface, my soul will collapse . I can't resist him alone . I need your help!"

This was a true G.o.d's might . Even his consciousness could destroy a Level-19 demi-G.o.d's soul!

Seeing her expression grow more painful, Link immediately casted a Level-19 spell: Soul Barrier .

Countless dark purple runes appeared . They looped over the G.o.d of Destruction, practically wrapping around her completely . The barrier went into effect quickly . Her pained expression lessened .

"It's effective but not enough . The Ruler of Light and Darkness reaches every pore . A Level-19 spell is too low . I need the power of a true G.o.d!"

Power of a true G.o.d?

Link froze . The highest power inside a realm was the pinnacle of Level-19 . The divine level…it had to be a divine gear! Link happened to have one . After being filled with the World Tree's power, his Crown of Eternal Night reached Level-21 . It was the strongest thing inside Firuman .

But there was a problem . If he wanted to use it to help the G.o.d of Destruction against the Ruler of Light and Darkness, he had to let the G.o.d of Destruction have the crown . If she had it, her power would immediately shoot up . If she was lucky, she could kill Link with a few moves .

Link wasn't stupid . Why would he risk it?

"Link, if you don't help, I only have one solution . " The G.o.d of Destruction took out her spear again . "I can only follow the Ruler of Light and Darkness' intentions and fight you!"

They were back to the start . This conflict seemed to be unresolvable .

Link's hand subconsciously touched his crown as he fell into deep thought . He could feel clearly that this was the last trial before lighting his Divine Fire . It was also the most dangerous .
