Chapter 606: Cup Snake Witch and Snake King

Esdel brought a glass of water to everyone. The white robe did not look too soft on her. On the contrary, it made her look slender because the shoulders were padded high.

"When the Cup Snake Witch killed His Majesty the King of Kings, she told everyone that Zohak, who had killed his own father and whose heart was full of insects, had not achieved the transformation from a human to a superman. His heart was simply eaten away by insects."

Esdel shook her head. To the others, the story she told was like a storybook. The others were taken by Esdel to a room in the underground laboratory.

"This is the story my father told me about the Snake King. Before I was fifteen, I thought it was just a myth. However..."

Esdel's tone became heavy, and everyone looked at her. These words might mean some things were changing.

But in fact, for the people present, most of them who have known Zarathustra, probably felt like they were listening to a story.

"The last time I met my father, he was about to lead the army back. Before that, he gave me two things. One was a potion that could give me the power that once belonged to the Snake King, and the second was this - Gneeus."

A pocket watch-like device appeared in her hand. The copper-colored pocket watch had blue gears inlaid on the edge. Her dark green hair covered her pupils as she looked at the pocket watch.

"Gnius——" Bianca's face was surprised when she saw the device.

Rita pondered for a moment. "So if that's the case, then High Priest Esdel, you were originally a resident of this world?"

"...No, that was just my father's last wishful thinking. When the Sek people rushed into the castle, I destroyed all the research materials that could be destroyed, and then activated Gnius." Esdel stared at Gnius in her hand, and finally sighed. "The world quickly distorted in my eyes, and I began to look forward to the bright world that my father talked about - however, what was waiting for me seemed to be an abyss of nothingness. I closed my eyes, but I could still see the cracks in the sky. I plugged my ears, but I could hear alien sounds. I closed my lips, but my mouth was still full of rusty bitterness. I only stayed in this abyss for a moment, but time and space seemed to have lost their meaning here. There was no beacon, no guide. I wandered there. This is not a bright world. This should be - eternal, eternal, and repeated... hell that tears people into pieces every moment."

Esther's face was full of solemnity, and Li Ming fell into deep thought. The cup snake witch, the potion that turns people into snakes, and transforms from insects into supermen, just to see the snake king transform from a human into a superman, um, how does it feel...

Li Ming, who had some vague guesses, continued to wait for Esdel to finish speaking.

"When I saw that world clearly, I finally saw clearly that the true face in this bottomless abyss and in the endless cycle is not the truth in the eyes, but the truth in the heart. It is the equation abandoned by the God of Light, a devil's heart. Well, that's enough about me. The breeze blows from the passage. In this nutshell drifting beyond the endless and nothingness, we only need [a] superman."

Shakespeare, Champollion and Miguel all collapsed on the table, but Bianca and Rita were still able to hold on because they had undergone resistance training to hallucinogenic drugs.

Everyone saw two slender snake heads poking out from under her neck, the light pink snakes revealing amber pupils. Esdel's hair was lifted up, revealing her amber pupils, the same as the snakes.

"So, the lovely children and the handsome adults - who should I start with?"

Esdel glanced around, three pairs of eyes constantly looking around, picking out the food she liked.

"No...you are not allowed...to get close to Bianca!" Rita stood up shakily, attracting Esdel's attention.

"Although you didn't drink the medicine I prepared, are you still able to stand up after inhaling such a large amount of anesthetic gas?" Esdel said with a teasing look on her face. Although she was very surprised that Rita could stand up, "However, with your staggering state now, what can you do for your "Lady Bianca"? "

Rita raised her head and stared at Esdel in front of her. She approached step by step, but Rita did not avoid her at all. "It's a pity that you don't know... when a weapon is sharp enough... killing people does not require strength at all."

A golden and white long sword appeared in Rita's hand. It was the holy sword [Yulandel].

"You must be... surprised..." Although the holy sword [Yulandel] looks very broken, as a holy sword, it is worthy of the name of a holy sword. Sharpness is its most basic attribute.

When the sword pierced Esdel's chest, the two seemingly ferocious poisonous snakes spit out their tongues and then turned into flying sand and dissipated.

Rita could hardly hold the holy sword [Yulandel] at this time, and just relied on the inertia of her body from top to bottom to pierce into Esdel's body.

"But... farewell... the second... snake king..."

Rita staggered as she watched Esdel in front of her turn into ashes and dissipate in the air, like a dead soldier.

The holy sword [Yulandel] flew up, and there was no trace of blood on the sword.

But that's normal, as Esdel may no longer be a complete person at this point.

Perhaps according to Esther, Zarathustra happened to kill the cup-snake witch and took Esther away from the laboratory.

But Zarathustra did not think about a problem. The witch of the cup and the snake just wanted to see the success of her potion and see a successful case of transformation from an insect to a superman.

Then everything is based on this. If that's the case, then why can't Esdel, the daughter of the stars, be another experimental subject of the Cup Snake Witch?

Perhaps the plot had begun as soon as Zarathustra arrived near the laboratory, just like when the snake king Zohak encountered the cup snake witch.

"So, even the Daughter of Stars, who was highly expected by Zarathustra, still had her heart eaten away by the potion of the Cup Snake Witch, and became the second-generation Snake King. Perhaps to transform from a worm into a superman, one must first have a superman's heart, rather than first gaining superman's power. Thank you for your hard work, Rita!"

A figure suddenly appeared behind Rita and supported her limp body. Li Ming looked indifferently at the place where Esdel turned into ashes.

Rita felt someone holding her up and heard the familiar voice beside her. Even she couldn't help but say, "So... that's why I feel... Mr. Li Ming... you're not a gentleman at all!"

"Hey, hey, don't you think you want to solve it yourself? Besides, didn't I hand you the sword?" Li Ming looked at Rita in surprise, indicating that he was still very gentlemanly and he obeyed Rita's wishes very much.

"Hehe..." Su Wei chuckled beside Li Ming. Obviously, Su Wei thought Rita was right about Li Ming's explanation.
