Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

On the river, the war between the Silver Knight and the Army of the Dead continues.

The army of the dead occupies an absolute numerical advantage, but most of them are not even Extraordinary, and are not enough to be used as cannon fodder.

In comparison, although the Silver Knights were not superior in numbers, even if they were added together, they were less than one ten thousandth of the army of the dead.But every Silver Knight has strength equivalent to that of a demigod, and every one of them has participated in the Dragon Hunting War and has at least a thousand years of rich combat experience!

This makes the Silver Knight's battle against the army of the dead as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.

It is true that there are still a large number of shadows left behind by the 'undead' in the army of the dead. For example, Azik Eggers alone contributed more than thirty 'shadows', and each shadow has the power of a demigod. strength.

The total number of these "shadows" left by the death of the "undead" is nearly ten thousand, which is equivalent to the number of Silver Knights.

But these 'shadows' have the strength of a demigod, but have no self-awareness. They are just puppets controlled by the River of Eternal Darkness. They can only use extraordinary abilities mechanically and rigidly, and cannot cause effective damage to the Silver Knight at all. The only effect is to slow down the pace of the Silver Knights' campaign.

But on the other hand, isn't this the River of Eternal Darkness being held back by the Silver Knight?

Hundreds of millions of the dead were forced to fight a bloody battle with less than ten thousand Silver Knights, and the 'God of Death' Salinger was also restrained by Midir soaring in the sky.This 'war' has reached a fever pitch, and no one can escape in a short time.

In the process, a large number of dead people were mercilessly killed by the Silver Knight.

But at the same time, many silver knights were submerged by the surging waves, swept into the depths of the river, and sank to the bottom of the river.

No one realized that something was wrong, not even the River of Eternal Darkness.

After all, when the army of the dead was clearly at a disadvantage, it wouldn't be too much for Him to personally strike a balance, right?
Regardless of whether the River of Eternal Darkness feels like it's too much, the embers hidden in the Silver Knight who have been swept into the bottom of the river don't feel like it's too much.

On the contrary, he felt that the River of Eternal Darkness was very sensible.

He is really very sensible.

In fact, Ember's purpose at the beginning was very simple - to use the bird-shaped golden ornament given by Irina to hold a drop of water from the River of Eternal Darkness.

For the goddess of the night, who has already begun to accommodate the uniqueness of the 'God of Death' path and the uniqueness of the 'God of War' path, it is a fantasy to directly accommodate the source of matter at this stage.So she didn't ask for the entire River of Eternal Darkness, but only a drop of water from the River of Eternal Darkness.

Of course, just a drop of river water cannot allow her to accommodate the River of Eternal Darkness, but it can be used as a medium to prepare in advance to accommodate the source of matter.

In fact, what the goddess of the night did was somewhat inappropriate.

Not the manner, but the order.

Because for Sequence 0, there are three ways to accommodate the sefirah and become the old days:

It is the optimal sequence to first become Sequence 0 of a pathway, then to control and integrate the essence, and finally to accommodate other uniqueness.

Becoming a dual-path true god, controlling the fusion source, and then accommodating the remaining uniqueness is neither a good nor a bad sequence.

Not fusing the source material until the last step is the worst choice.

And now the choice of the goddess of the night is the third way, which is the worst way.

But if we really want to calculate it, taking any of these three paths will make no difference to the goddess of the night.

Because although these three routes are not wrong, they were figured out by the ancient sun god after all.Theoretically speaking, the idea put forward by the ancient sun god is also completely correct. The best sequence is to first become Sequence 0 and then integrate the source essence, and finally accommodate other uniquenesses. This can enhance self-awareness to the greatest extent, so that Better fight against the original will and increase the success rate of things.

But the problem is that the premise of this theory is that there is no external interference!

For the local gods, this theory is completely correct, because they cannot change the awakening of the original will no matter what method they use, so the order of accommodation is crucial to them.

But the goddess of the night is not a native.

For Him who has the original fire, no matter which choice she chooses, there is no essential difference, because she does not need to worry about being 'seized' by the original one.

In this case, it is better to accommodate the uniqueness of other paths first.

Because these uniquenesses can be directly transformed into the strength of the Night Goddess, and the accommodating process will be smoother than accommodating the source matter.Moreover, once the goddess of the night fully masters the three paths of night, death, and war, the process of accommodating the source matter will be smoother in the future.

Therefore, the goddess of night does not need the entire River of Eternal Darkness for the time being. She can wait to get it herself in the future.

All she needs now is a drop of river water.

However, this is just wishful thinking of the goddess of the night.

The goddess of the night felt that she only needed a drop of water from the River of Eternal Darkness, and the River of Eternal Darkness thought so too.

So when the ember reaches the end of the stairs, the River of Eternal Darkness takes the initiative to roll up a wave and submerge it. It seems to be a warning and attack, but in fact it is not a sign of submission?If Ember's purpose was just for a drop of water from the River of Eternal Darkness, he could have taken a drop of water from the 'tide' and left in style.

As for the 'God of Death' Salinger, as long as Ember does not try to step into the River of Eternal Darkness, his obstruction is meaningless, because this 'God of Death' cannot escape from the River of Eternal Darkness at all.

It's a pity that Ember's idea is more 'pure' and more 'greedy' than River of Eternal Darkness imagined.

Because from Ember's point of view, it's not easy for him to go all the way, so why not just solve all the problems at once?

Anyway, we are here, and it is not easy for everyone. It is best for everyone to end it as soon as possible! ——You think so, River of Eternal Darkness?

With this idea in mind, Ember took the initiative to sink to the bottom of the river, entering the depths of the River of Eternal Darkness, looking for the 'source' of this river.

Every river has a source, and sefirot is no exception.

For example, this is the case with the 'Source Castle'. Above the gray fog where the Tarot Conference is held is only the Kingdom of God that comes with the 'Source Castle'. The strange light door above the gray clouds is the core, and it is the 'Source' in the true sense. Fort'!
The same goes for the River of Eternal Darkness. The 'river' it displays is just its own Kingdom of God, and its core is hidden deep in the river.

Ember risked his life and sank to the bottom of the river. His purpose was to go upstream and find the 'source' of the river!
The River of Eternal Darkness obviously didn't expect that Ember would be so crazy. Although his activation level was already very high, he still couldn't understand overly complicated things, such as this...

For the living, no living person can enter the River of Eternal Darkness. This is the underlying rule of this world.Once the deceased approaches the River of Eternal Darkness, they will automatically become its puppet. This is also the underlying rule of the world.

So no matter how you calculate it, River of Eternal Darkness is actually in an invincible position.

The living cannot enter, and the dead pose no threat.

No matter what, He wins.

There are exceptions to everything.

For example, other sefirot are at the same level as the River of Eternal Darkness, which means that these sefirot can resist this rule to a certain extent.

So if Klein or the True Creator were here, they could completely enter the River of Eternal Darkness temporarily by relying on the power of the 'Origin Castle' or the 'Sea of ​​Chaos', and they would not be turned into the dead wandering by the river forever by the River of Eternal Darkness.

Ember is also an exception.

He is the immortal and the living.

He is also an ember, the dead.

He is the first fire, the first life, the first death, and the end of immortality.

The most important thing is that this is a power system that is completely different from this world.

This resulted in two results -

As the dead, he can sneak into the River of Eternal Darkness without being discovered, because to the River of Eternal Darkness he is just one of the completely dead.

But as a dead person who does not belong to this world, he will not be accepted by the River of Eternal Darkness, and will not be controlled by the River of Eternal Darkness.

That's why he can continue to swim upstream in this river, looking for the 'source' of the river.

But the River of Eternal Darkness is ultimately an activated source of matter, not a completely dead thing.

Therefore, He soon discovered that these Silver Knights who were swept into the bottom of the river were still 'alive'. Although they were struggling painfully at the bottom of the river, they were still alive and did not melt like frost like the other dead.

And among these silver knights who were swept to the bottom of the river, there was even an inconspicuous silver knight swimming upstream!

Although the River of Eternal Darkness thought that these silver knights were just bumping around like headless flies, the direction in which the silver knight was heading made the activated source uneasy, because that was where his 'core' was!
Although He does not think that an ordinary Silver Knight can threaten Him, He must stop the other party from moving forward!
The illusory river suddenly swayed violently, causing waves on the river. The waves came one after another, like a rushing river, trying to wash away the silver knight at the bottom of the river to the end of the river.

But the silver knight remained unaffected, slowly but surely swimming upstream against the surging tide.

Until, a huge shadow appeared in front of him.

It was a giant bird that was completely submerged by the 'River of Eternal Darkness' and suspended in the water.

The body of this giant bird is covered with pale flames and feathers woven with mysterious patterns, but it has been greatly melted by the 'River of Eternal Darkness', exposing part of the dark, rotten skin with yellowish pus.

The eyes of the giant bird seem to be cast in bronze, and there are layers of illusory doors hidden inside.

It is the creator of Calderon, the ancient god of death who opened up the underworld, and the ancestor of the phoenix, Gray Carrie!

In Gray Carrie's eyes, bronze light burst out, immediately covering the resolutely retrograde Silver Knight, trying to drag him in.

Obviously, the River of Eternal Darkness does not allow anyone to continue approaching His core!

But just as the Silver Knight was about to disappear, a loud dragon roar resounded across the sky.

The giant dragon is hovering in the sky, but its huge body is already covered with bruises at this moment.

His wings are broken. Those wings that should have covered the sky and shocked people are so broken that it even makes people doubt whether He can continue to fly on these broken wings. It is suspected that He will be unbearable in the next moment. Falling from the sky due to heavy burden.

His body was also broken, and the dense scars made his skin get stuck and there were no flat spots.Traces of brown and gold intertwined all over the body. It was unknown whether it was His dried blood or the moss that had parasitized on His body during countless years of slumber.

His two heads were raised proudly and roared toward the sky.But the two heads growing on the same side looked a bit unbalanced, extremely uncoordinated and lacking in beauty.

But if you look carefully, you will find that there are two shocking scars on the other side - those are his other two heads. He once had four heads and was the well-deserved king of the dragon clan. Until his two heads The head was chopped off by the barbarian king.

His tail is broken, and the flat wound at the end indicates that it has been docked.The barbarian king who cut off his tail did not do it to obtain the dragon clan's tail-cutting weapon, but only used it as a symbol of humiliation for the dragon king's defeat.

But no matter what, he is still the Dragon King, the Dragon King 'Platon Sanks' who hovers in the sky and controls storms and thunder!
Roar!
Amidst the loud roar of the dragon, scarlet thunder and lightning pierced the sky and instantly penetrated the River of Eternal Darkness, trying to pierce the ancestor of the phoenix hidden in the river.

Although this had no actual effect, it successfully diverted the attention of the 'ancestor of the phoenix' Gray Carrie.

And when the 'Ancestor of the Phoenix' Gray Carrie raised her giant bronze eye with layers of illusory doors and looked at the enemy in the sky, she suddenly discovered that the broken dragon king in the sky had long disappeared!

Until the bottom of the River of Eternal Darkness, under the calm water flow, fluctuations suddenly appeared!
The broken Dragon King had already escaped into the cracks of time and space, suddenly rushed out from the bottom of the river, hooked the Phoenix's head and body with its sharp claws entwined with thunder clouds, and with the Dragon King's loud roar, forcefully killed the Phoenix. Pulled out from the bottom of the river!
Under the river is the home of the River of Eternal Darkness, the home of the ancestor of the Phoenix.

But the sky has always been the Dragon King’s home court!
Although Platon Sanks cannot defeat the Barbarian King, cannot kill the gods, cannot defeat the Golden Tree, and cannot defeat the Supreme Will, but can he, the mighty Dragon King, still be unable to defeat a bird like yours?
Platon Sanks bit Gray Carrie's neck, and the other head opened its huge mouth, spitting out a golden dragon's breath that could penetrate the sky, completely swallowing the head of the ancestor of the phoenix!

At the bottom of the river, the Silver Knight returned to normal, and he continued to move towards his set goal.

In other places, the silver knights who were originally bumping around like headless flies and heading in other directions have changed directions - they will follow the silver knight and continue upstream until they find the core position.

Roar!
The River of Eternal Darkness felt threatened, and Salinger, the God of Death, let out a low roar, causing the water level of the river to rise rapidly.

The originally calm river bottom suddenly became turbulent, and the illusory river suddenly became sharper than a knife.He not only wants to stop these silver knights, but also wants to kill them!
Only by crushing these silver knights can His core be prevented from being threatened!
however.

Just when Salinger, the God of Death, roared, a giant burning with flames descended from the sky and pressed his head hard!
