Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

There is no day, no night, no light, no dawn.

There is only a "black" that is so rich that it cannot be dissolved. The boundless ocean, the vast continent, the towering mountain peaks, and the sky as black as ink, everything is shrouded in the rich "black", and this place is often called --'abyss'.

In most people's perception, 'abyss' is an abstract expression, synonymous with danger, pain, degradation, and filth.

In occultism, the 'abyss' is recognized as the most filthy, depraved and chaotic place.

Legend has it that the abyss is the most polluted place. Even angels will fall out of control there, and those who guard the abyss will eventually be assimilated by the abyss.

At the same time, the 'abyss' is also the residence of demons.

In the middle and early stages of the Second Age, demons often left the abyss and were active on the earth. It was not until the ancient sun god came out of the sky and caused the ancient gods to fall one after another that they retreated back to the abyss and sealed the place.

But now, the abyss has become impossible for even 'devils' to survive.

The only living thing here is the undead snake that looks at the world coldly in the rich black.

But now, this big snake has disappeared.

Ember stood on the top of the mountain, staring at the cunning, black, seemingly endless abyss, feeling a little surprised:

"Did you escape?"

Since "falling from the sky" more than 100 years ago, Rakad has been staying in the abyss and has never left.

Because for Rakad, who has successfully swallowed the 'dark side of the universe' and became the true god of the 'abyss' path, the abyss is his kingdom of God.Here, his strength can be increased to the greatest extent, and it can also allow him to digest the devoured god more safely.

Yes, Rakad is still digesting.

The 'Dark Side of the Universe' has indeed been devoured by Rakad, but it is a genuine god after all.Even if the essence of the immortal serpent is higher than the dark side of the universe, digesting a true god, a true god controlled by the past, still requires a lot of time and energy, and cannot be disturbed by external forces.

That's why Ember went directly to the abyss to find and hunt the immortal snake.

However, Racade seemed to have expected it. He abandoned his base camp without hesitation and dealt with the traces he left in the abyss in advance, so that Ember could not lock on any target and could not track his current location.

Ember was not surprised by this.

Larcade may be a fool, but Adam is not.

The battle in the star realm has exposed the relationship between Larcade and Adam.

It didn't matter when they met or what kind of transactions they made. What was important was that they had formed an alliance.

Moreover, since both sides have a common enemy, this alliance will be extremely close.

As one of Adam's few allies, He will of course focus on Rakad, who has the most potential among them.Therefore, Adam will definitely warn Larcade in advance to avoid being seized by Ember and defeat them one by one.

Of course, even if the BOSS is not at home, it doesn't mean that Ember can't do something to the abyss.

after all,

"It's all coming."

Ember murmured in a low voice, slowly stretched out his palm, and the dark soul turned into a whirlpool in his palm.With a wave of his hand, the black soul instantly turned into sparks all over the sky, blending into the rich 'black'.

That rich 'black' has pollution that is unimaginable to ordinary people, and even angels cannot resist it.

But at the same time, this 'black' is also the best protective color.

When the black soul transformed into countless dark 'light spots' and dissipated, the two completely merged into one, and no one could notice the slightest clue.

If Larkard returns to the abyss, then these 'sparks' will bring a little black soul shock to Karad!

Asumi turned around and cast his gaze towards the bound god who had fallen to the ground and was struggling to get up.

Although he is a unique king of angels, he has been tortured by the Mother Tree of Desire for too long, and his current performance is not as good as that of a mortal.The extraordinary characteristics in His body have a strong tendency to separate, just like the 'gods' that were once separated, longing for 'birth'.

While enduring the painful torture of the Mother Tree of Desire, the Bound God tried to suppress the extraordinary characteristics in his body and reach a new balance.At least to the extent that he can freely use extraordinary abilities, then he will have a chance to escape from here.

however.

Before the bound god could get up, he felt a pain in his chest.

A long knife penetrated His body from the waistcoat, and the tip of the sword penetrated His heart, nailing Him to the ground.

Asumi calmly walked up to the bound god and pulled out the blade that glowed with blue light.

The bound god raised his head with difficulty, his voice trembled, and he said in pain:

"You... let me go... I am the King of Angels... I can help you..."

"Confused."

Ashimi's tone was extremely calm:
"Kill you, and I can re-train a king of angels."

Under the brilliant sword light, the bound god's body was dismembered, his head rolled down, and his lips seemed to want to say something.

But his eyes soon came into contact with the scene behind Ashmi——

It was a dark brown towering tree. For the past thousands of years, He had been hung from the top of that giant tree. The dark brown branches pierced His body, absorbing His power all the time, making him He was tortured.

But now, all the branches and leaves of that towering giant tree that once filled the sky have been cut off, leaving only a bare trunk.

And even the trunk of the tree was now covered in flames and burning brightly.

The Bound God stared blankly at the burning towering tree, and suddenly felt that everything was worth it.There was no way to escape anyway, so that was good, at least the Mother Tree of Desire would be buried with him.

Sea of ​​Misty, Isle of Rasha.

'Star Admiral' Cattleya came to a mountain peak and recited a giant mantra to the nothing cliff:

"Sesame, open the door!"

A road suddenly appeared on the cliff, seemingly real or illusory, leading to nowhere.

As she walked, her eyes suddenly opened up, and she saw the sea as clear as sapphire, and saw a gorgeous castle purely made of emerald.

This is the Emerald City of 'Queen of Mysteries' Bernadette.

In the semi-open room with the best view inside the castle, the tall queen was standing behind the railing, looking at the waves coming one after another.

For some reason, the hidden excitement, excitement and joy in Cattleya's heart suddenly calmed down at this moment, giving rise to a sense of comfort, freedom and ease.In the past, when sailing on the sea, she would occasionally feel lonely and sad, as if she had left the leaves of the tree and could only let the wind blow her to different places. But now, she seems to have fallen to the ground, right next to that tree. beside.

She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say for a while, and finally just pushed the heavy glasses on the bridge of her nose, and simply greeted:

"Good afternoon, Her Majesty the Queen." Bernadette turned around, nodded gently and said:

"I summoned you back to the Emerald City because there is something I need your help with."

Cattleya felt inexplicably happy, but she suppressed the emotion well and asked seriously:
"what's up?"

The Queen is the leader of the 'Elemental Dawn', among whom there are many extraordinary people and even demigods who regard her as a god.It's just that compared to these people, the Queen obviously trusts her more, which is why Cattleya feels happy.

Also, the Queen said 'help', does that mean she has grown to the point where she can help the Queen?

Bernadette did not answer Cattleya's question directly, but said softly:
"I got a clue before and left Backlund hastily."

"I remember this incident." Cattleya interjected.

Bernadette's straight and long eyebrows moved slightly:
"Through this clue, I pieced together an incomplete nautical chart from the descendants of Edwards, William, Purley and others, which records some of the places my father explored in the Misty Sea."

With the help of this chart and my own prophetic ability, I went to the abyss, but there was no trace of him there.However, I can probably guess now that his secret may be hidden in a certain area of ​​​​sea far away from safe channels. "

Cattleya listened carefully and asked softly:
"What do you need me to do?"

'Queen of Mystery' Bernadette slowly spoke:

"Pray to the Fool, tell Him these things as they are, and ask for His help."

"what?"

Cattleya suddenly raised her head and stared at the 'Queen of Mystery' with some confusion.

If she remembered correctly, there was a 'messenger' beside the queen, which was a petite blue doll.The queen at that time was already a Sequence 2 angel, but she still respected the doll. This could only mean one thing - the doll's body was an existence on the same level as the Seven Gods and Mr. Fool. A true god!

But since there is such a person beside the queen, why does she need Mr. Fool's help?

"The Queen doesn't trust Him!" Cattleya's eyes narrowed slightly, and she already had the answer in her heart.

This is not surprising. Back on the "Future", the Queen clearly expressed her dissatisfaction with the "Messenger" for taking advantage of her.This shows that the relationship between the queen and that person is mutual use, rather than the subordinate relationship between the triple crowned person and the god in the Orthodox Church.

That's why the queen didn't find her directly, but sent a message through Elemental Dawn in a subtle way, asking her to meet here.This Emerald City is one of the legacies left to the Queen by Emperor Russell. Perhaps there is some way to block the prying eyes of the gods...

But now, the queen wants to find traces of her father, so she must hide that existence and explore secretly.

But if the queen didn't trust him, why did she explore the abyss with him before?Isn't the Abyss also the target of the Queen's suspicion?Or was that journey into the abyss actually led by that existence?

It is possible that she did not show any heightened interest in exploring the abyss.For the Queen, that exploration might just be the order of that being.

Cattleya clutched her chest, feeling extremely uncomfortable when she thought that Bernadette, whom she regarded as an idol and like a mother, was just a chess piece being played with in the hands of some god and could be discarded at any time.

Cattleya took a deep breath and said quickly:

"I will pray to Mr. Fool now."

"Not urgent."

'Queen of Mystery' Bernadette's expression suddenly softened a little:
"Didn't you always want to share with me what happened to you over the years?"

Cattleya was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Correct."

She immediately walked to the Queen's side, pulled a chair and sat down, facing the blue sea beyond the emerald railing.

Bernadette sat next to her and listened to her talk about the various experiences after leaving the Dawn, just like before.

Some of these things were mentioned by Cattleya in the letter, but due to the space, she did not describe them in detail, and some of them were told to others for the first time.

The boundless gray mist floated quietly, and there was a slight friction sound on the long bronze table.

Klein changed his sitting position, raised his hands and rubbed his temples.

"Now, it should be over for now, right?"

"At least at this stage, both sides have achieved their goals."

"Adam successfully obtained the authority of the 'Eternal Fierce Sun' and will soon become a dual-path true god."

"And the Goddess of Night has also obtained the authority of the 'God of War', coupled with the authority of the 'God of Death' that she has already obtained, she is only one step away from the past. As for the Lord of Steam and the Hidden Sage, it is still unclear who is the right one. Adam’s chosen allies.”

"From the current point of view, it seems that the Hidden Sage is more like it."

"After all, the Lord of Steam is on the side of the Eternal Blazing Sun, and the Hidden Sage is obviously favoring Adam."

"The 'Lord of the Abyss', also known as the 'Dark Side of the Universe', has been swallowed by Rakad, and the 'Bound God' has also been eliminated. Together with the purified Mr. Door, the tentacles of the outer gods that affect the world It’s been temporarily cut off.”

"But if this happens, a more brutal civil war will inevitably break out among the gods who are temporarily free of foreign aggression."

After the analysis, Klein made a summary:
"Friends: 'Night Goddess', 'Goddess of Knowledge and Wisdom', 'Earth Mother Goddess';
Enemies: 'Imaginary' Adam, 'True Creator', 'Mr. Wrong' Amon;
Neutral: 'Hidden Sage', 'Primal Witch', 'God of Steam and Machinery'. "

"The Storm Lord was originally a staunch ally of the goddess, but after this incident, his position may be shaken. Although it is destined not to fall to Adam's side, it is likely to turn neutral."

"On the surface, the strength of the two sides should be almost the same. It is clear that there are only three true gods on their side."

"As for the neutral party, from now on, their positions are almost all in favor of Adam, except for the Lord of Storms."

"The conflict between the God of Steam and Machinery and the Hidden Sage has been put on the table. It is destined that only one can become the true god. I still prefer Adam to choose the God of Steam and Machinery. After all, the 'Hidden Sage' can become a god at the same time. To satisfy the needs of the God of Steam and Machinery and Amon.”

"The former can use this to become a dual-path true god and get a glimpse of the order of the past, and the latter can also use this opportunity to become a god."

"And the original witch, as early as the 'George III' incident, had clearly sided with Adam and could not expect their help."

"From this point of view, our paper strength is still worse."

"Although we have embers, there is also First Fire on the opposite side."

"However, if I can become a god, maybe the situation can be reversed again!"

Klein took a deep breath, the key to fooling the world was in his hands.

This reshuffling of the war also makes the conditions for fooling easier.

At least from now on, at least three of the four countries in the Northern Continent will accept the history they wrote.

Even if the Republic of Intis is stubborn, it will not have much impact.

The time for Him to become God is not far away!
