Chapter 243 Norns
Chapter 243 Norns
As the power of the God of Darkness entered the handsome man's body, his terrifying wounds grew and healed rapidly at a visible speed, and were completely healed in no time.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
The handsome man, whose eyes were tightly closed, suddenly coughed several times, spitting out dark red blood mixed with broken internal organs, and his pale face gradually turned rosy.
Seeing that the handsome man was about to recover, someone in the shadows finally couldn't sit still any longer.

Above Xiaoliu'er and the handsome guy's heads, cracks appeared on the roof of the first floor of the building, forming a net-like pattern. A concrete block the size of a manhole cover detached from the roof and, carrying a fierce momentum, crashed straight down on Xiaoliu'er and the handsome guy below.
Little Willow tilted her head, her eyes crinkling into a smile: "Norns, you're so despicable!"
The oil-paper umbrella that Xiao Liu'er had been holding in her left hand was raised above her head, and the closed umbrella opened automatically, firmly shielding the area above Xiao Liu'er and the handsome guy's heads.
The largest concrete block landed on the oil-paper umbrella, which emitted a faint purple light, and the concrete block disappeared instantly.
The last bit of black divine power entered the handsome man's body. Xiao Liu'er leaned over and caught his limp body, carefully laying him flat on the ground.
The injuries have healed. Now, we just need to wait for Aning to wake up on her own. In the meantime, we can take care of the grudges from being controlled by others in the previous worlds.
After fooling yourself for so long, you have to pay a price.
With her eyes curving into crescents, Xiao Liu'er released her left hand and skipped away from the protective range of the oil-paper umbrella. The instant she left, long, sharp spikes began to emerge from the ground, and the ceiling above her head began to collapse, as if they were deliberately working against Xiao Liu'er.
In this critical situation, Xiao Liu did not dodge or flinch. Instead, she reached out and slowly smoothed out the wrinkles in her skirt, her face still bearing a gentle smile.
"Norns, you're really getting weaker and weaker!!!"
With her fingers spread wide and palms facing outwards, she raised her hands high above her head. White divine power surged out and enveloped her delicate palms. Little Willow grabbed hard in the air and pulled the hands apart forcefully.
The space was instantly torn apart, revealing a dark crack.
Little Willow made a hand seal with her right hand: "Give it to me, come here!!"
The white divine power drifted into the black crevice, rapidly expanding and contracting with Xiao Liu'er's movements, wrapping around a humanoid object and pulling her out of the crevice.
The white light faded, revealing a woman with distinctly Western features. She had fair skin, and her pale yellow eyes seemed to sparkle. She wore a low-cut, backless long dress, exposing a large expanse of skin. Although she was clearly Western, by Eastern standards of beauty, she was a stunning beauty.
Upon seeing this woman, Qin Bi, who had remained relatively calm until now, began to tremble. Fear gripped her, and she pointed a trembling finger at the woman, whispering in disbelief, "No...Noens!!! The goddess of fate, Noens!!!"
How could she possibly be here?!
"...How could that be?! That's the woman who controls the fate of all the gods in the Western pantheon, she..."
Qin Bi's legs went weak, and she retreated to the wall, leaning against the cold wall to barely keep herself standing.
Although she was invincible in the divine realm, she couldn't help but feel fear when facing a high-ranking god like Norns. It's important to understand that, strictly speaking, there are four goddesses of fate in the Western divine realm. Aside from Norns, the other three are daughters of Zeus, essentially privileged offspring, and therefore relatively weak in combat, usually only able to govern the fates of mortals in the West. Norns, however, is different. She is a deity born at the beginning of the universe's chaos, possessing immense divine power and controlling the fates of all Western gods, including the chief god. It is said that ten thousand years ago, during a great war between the Eastern and Western divine realms, this goddess of fate manipulated the fates of most of the Eastern divine realm's forces, causing them to suffer repeated defeats. Later, the Heavenly Court sent a mysterious figure who fought her for a day and a night before finally defeating her and severely injuring her, from which she has yet to recover.
However, everyone knows the saying "even a starved camel is bigger than a horse," and Qin Bi was certain that she was no match for Norns; Norns could crush her with a single finger.
With her mind wandering, Qin Bi suddenly felt a pang of regret. She regretted rushing over as soon as she heard the news. If she hadn't come here, she wouldn't have been unlucky enough to run into Norns!
Just as Qin Bi was filled with regret, Xiao Liu stood there smiling, looking at the somewhat disheveled Norns, her round cat eyes overflowing with joy.
The black crack was not closed. Suddenly, a pair of fair and slender hands passed through the crack and slowly emerged. These hands grabbed the two sides of the crack and began to exert force. The bulging veins on the back of the hands were clearly visible, showing how difficult it was for the person to open the crack.
When the gap was wide enough, the little elf with green grass on its head was the first to pass through it, followed closely by the pale-faced boy.
Yu Liu turned her head and glanced at the elf and the boy who had followed Norns over, then blinked: "Little apprentice?"
This slightly childish call made Mingli freeze on the spot.
"Master, master..."
He looked at the graceful little willow, his eyes already welling up with tears.
"Master...you..."
He raised his hand and slowly reached it towards Xiao Liu'er, as if afraid that what appeared before him was just a dream.
"I didn't expect to see you here, my little apprentice." Yu Liu put her hands behind her back, adopted the demeanor of a teacher, and puffed out her chest, unaffected by Ming Li's sad mood.
"Well...I..."
Mingli opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, she choked up.
His face immediately turned red.
"My little apprentice is still the same as always," Xiao Liu'er chuckled at his reaction. She hadn't expected that after so long, the little apprentice she had taken on on a whim back then would still be so introverted and sentimental. "Little apprentice, calm yourself down first. Let me deal with Norns first, and then we can catch up properly."
Mingli sobbed again, then lowered her head in embarrassment: "Okay."
"What a nostalgic reaction," Xiao Liu thought to herself, before turning her gaze to Norns, who had tidied himself up and regained his composure.
He raised his hand and casually moved his fingers: "Long time no see."
