Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 721 Resurrection of Death
With the help of the "Brass Book of Rules", Hobert saw many colorful places in Calderon, and those should be members of the "Underworld Sect".

Hobert "tampered" with his position and instantly appeared next to a brilliant color on the edge of Calderon.

I wonder if the body of the "Underworld Sect" member has mutated, or if he simply abandoned his body? In short, from the appearance, it is no different from a normal undead.

At this moment, he was wondering why he was glowing?

Hobert waved his hand towards him, and the member of the "Underworld Sect" was immediately hit by a huge force and fell against the wall of a building. The force immediately followed and pressed him to the wall.

"What research are the 'Underworld Sect' doing in the 'City of the Dead'?" Hobert asked.

The members of the "Underworld Sect" knew they had encountered an enemy, and looked indifferent, showing no intention of answering questions.

Hobert did not force it, and "twisted" his remaining "life" state into "death", so this member truly became a dead person.

Hobert "used" the power of the surrounding "City of the Dead" to pull out his soul and complete the preparations for channeling.

He asked again, “What are you studying?”

Hobert suddenly felt that his spirituality returned to normal. As he continued walking inside, he gradually felt the surging power in the center of the city.

It was precisely because he couldn't explain it that even Hobert felt the fear from his heart.

"Selena." Hobert took a deep breath before saying: "Death is a part of life, it passes over the earth like the wind, and the earth, which symbolizes life, will never move.

"Long time no see." Hobert smiled and said, "I avenged you."

But the surroundings were eerily quiet, and Hobert felt like he could hear the sound of blood flowing through his veins.

He guessed that this should be the influence of the "River of Eternal Darkness". The deeper into the city center, the greater the influence.

There is a location very close to the center of the city.

The phoenix that had interrogated Hobert and others before sneered: "My feeling is right, you really have a problem."

Hobert took a deep breath, and if he continued to move forward, the effect of the "Brass Book of Laws" would also begin to weaken. Although it was a unique entity with a high status, the center of the city belonged to the power of the source of matter!
So he began to summon the power of the "country of disorder" to form a barrier and appear around him.

When he arrived in the middle of the city, Hobert found that his extraordinary ability was affected in some way, as if there was always a void force pulling on his spirituality, and it seemed that it was not as flexible as it was in the outside world.

At this time, new words appeared in the "Brass Book of Laws": "The Creator" is a very special existence. He is the shadow of all laws, and even the shadow of death, so the impact in the "City of the Dead" will be limited. .

Selina asked curiously: "Teacher, when did you become a believer in the Church of the Mother Earth?"

Hobert planned to approach the center and see if he could find any clues.

"Teacher, you are still so... humorous." Selena smiled helplessly: "You don't seem sad about my death?"

On the latest page of the "Brass Book of Laws" in Hobert's hand, a line of mercury-colored text slowly appeared: There is no air in the underworld. Flying here obviously does not comply with the relevant rules of aerodynamics.

If she were still alive, she would also be a high-ranking official in the Nanbailang Principality.

The bone-white door opened gently, and Selena with burgundy hair walked out. She looked like she had before her death, with a bright smile: "Teacher, long time no see."

It seemed that the most terrifying thing in the world was hidden there, but Hobart couldn't tell what it was.

As if chatting with an old friend, Hobert walked forward and said: "Flea is currently the deputy minister of the Public Security Department of the South Balam Principality.

At this time, the center of the city still looked a bit unreal, and the specific situation could not be clearly seen.

"Life is the essence of the world. It is always connected with the earth and never changes."

When Hobert was trying to channel the spirit just now, they finally surrounded him.

The pale white light on them becomes more intense, and they seem to have a closer connection with the "City of the Dead", forming an encircling network with strong underworld power.

Hobert smiled and said: "I also envy them for having such a good teacher."

Selina followed Hobert and sighed: "I really envy them!"

Intertwined with fear is sadness, the sadness of being reluctant and helpless when facing death, and the frustration after repeated failures in the power to fight death.

As he walked forward, Hobert looked at the streets on both sides. The buildings on both sides were very complete, but they looked a bit forbidding and dilapidated, as if they were well-preserved ancient monuments.

The research laboratories cooperating with each other continued their research work during the war and even during the head-on confrontation between South Balam and Intis.

bang~
Just when the undead was about to open his mouth, it exploded on the spot!
Hobert was slightly startled. This was not an ability like "keeping secrets", but the other party's spirit body was very fragile and could no longer withstand the torment of "channelling".

Moreover, the field of vision here is limited. Even Hobert's field of vision is affected. He cannot see the edge of the city, let alone the "air" Port Monteson.

This made Hobert frown: Do you still have to check it yourself?

Suddenly, Hobert's inspiration seemed to move and he looked at a room carved out of a huge white bone.

"Dennis is currently helping me keep an eye on the research laboratories of South Balam and the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery. His specific position is Director of the Security Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology."

It made him feel as if he was isolated in another world.

Because Hobert has been giving some strange topics, the purpose of which is difficult to understand at first, but after the research results are released, they will have unexpected uses.

"Thank you. But more than that, I want to know how Freya and Dennis are doing now?"

The phoenixes in the sky had already noticed Hobert, but his movements were too fast, making it difficult for them to catch up.

But in this case, you can only move forward step by step, and you cannot use extraordinary power to quickly reach your destination.

Amidst the screams of the phoenixes, they fell to the ground one by one, and the surrounding net immediately collapsed.

Hobert glanced at the "brass book" in his hand: Do you know a lot?
The next second, Hobert used the method of "distorting" space to go deeper into the "City of the Dead".

Hobert took another look at the color-marked undead around him. Because the city was a high-middle structure, he could easily see the location of the other members of the "Underworld Sect".

"I have always been." Hobert smiled: "I was baptized by Mother's Church very early on."

Selina had heard about this incident. She asked in a asking tone as she did before she was alive: "Teacher, is death really such an understatement to you?"

"It's also time to score." Hobert said seriously: "For example, when I encounter enemies, I will work very hard to ask them to die!"

Selena smiled again: "I may never learn the teacher's free and easy attitude."

Hobert looked at a stone statue in front of him that was glowing with seven colors: "Okay, let's stop talking here. It's time for me to get down to business."

After saying that, the barrier formed by the "order crystal" around him suddenly grew larger, including the stone statue, but still isolated Selena.

Hobert came to the stone statue, shook his head and said: "It's so miserable. It was eroded by the 'River of Eternal Darkness' and assimilated by this city, and finally turned into a stone statue."

"You're wrong, this is a way to gain eternal life!" Black blood flowed out of the stone statue's eyes, ears, nostrils and corners of its mouth. He seemed to be talking to Hobert spiritually: "As long as we are away from 'death' Close enough, death will be completely far away from me.”

Hobert nodded, as if he agreed with the other person's concept: "So tell me, what did you find in this city?"

"The breath of the ancestor of the Phoenix was discovered!" Cracks appeared on the other party's face: "As long as death exists, there is still the possibility of his resurrection!"

Hobert looked like he agreed with these words again: "I have also heard that the 'God of Death' is special because he is death himself, so it may be difficult to truly die."

This time he changed his strategy. While asking questions, he used the ability of "distortion" and "charm" to quietly distort the other party's thinking, making the other party relax their guard and be more willing to express their inner thoughts.

The stone statue cracked bit by bit, and a very handsome, yet somewhat childish face appeared inside. It turned out to be Eris, who had been killed by Hobert long ago!
Eris smiled and said, "Isn't that surprising?"

Hobert smiled: "You are not Eris, he is already dead."

"It's because I died that I was able to be here."

Hobert still shook his head: "The angels I killed have no chance of survival. They can't be found even in the underworld."

"You are wrong." Eris said: "As long as you have experienced death, even if your spirit body is destroyed by you, it can still leave a mark in the underworld."

"So, you are not Eris." Hobert said, "You are just a mark!"

He raised the "brass book" in his hand: "If you were Eris, you would have been staring at it and couldn't take your eyes away, but you didn't even glance at it.

"An Eris without competition is no threat to me at all."

"Eris" was stunned for a second or two before saying: "Do all 'lawyers' think in such a strange way?"

Hobert asked back: "Because you discovered the breath of the 'Ancestor of the Phoenix', you were contaminated and you want to use that breath to resurrect him?
"But what does this have to do with the 'City of the Dead' Calderon? Why did this city mutate?" "Eris" replied: "This city is a symbol of the existence of the 'Ancestor of the Phoenix'. As long as this If this city is not destroyed, the 'Ancestor of the Phoenix' will not completely fall.

"We are not contaminated. For us, the 'Underworld Sect', as long as we can dominate the Southern Continent again, it doesn't matter who sits in the position of the 'God of Death'.

"We have been studying how to make the 'underworld' have a certain degree of consciousness, integrate it with the real world, and provide us with a steady stream of power.

"The connection between 'City of the Dead' and 'Ancestor of the Phoenix' is in line with our expectations, so we researched in this direction.

"It's not that we have been polluted or eroded, but that we have actively made some changes to ourselves."

I don’t know if he did it on purpose or if he didn’t notice it at all. Just now, he said twice, “We are not contaminated.”

Hobert opened his mouth: "What a bunch of pathetic people!"

At this time, he even guessed that the first "Underworld Sect" was probably influenced by this city in the underworld. After the death of the "Underworld Emperor" and the absence of gods in this path, they were increasingly affected. It became a faction of the Spiritual Religion.

But this is not what Hobert is concerned about. He thought for a while and then said: "In other words, interrupting the resurrection process of the 'Ancestor of the Phoenix' can make the underworld normal again?"

"Eris" smiled contemptuously: "Your ideas are too naive. Although you are an archangel, you are currently in the 'City of the Dead' Calderon! With your power, you are unable to stop the resurrection of Death. "

Hobert shook his head: "In my opinion, it is impossible for the 'Ancestor of the Phoenix' to be resurrected, because he does not have the uniqueness of the 'God of Death' path."

"Eris" said: "He is death itself. In his kingdom of God, he is the 'god of death'."

Hobert understood what the other party meant. This was a bit like the relationship between the "Moon" pathway and the "Crimson Moon". They were very closely connected, but they were two different things after all.

One is an abstract manifestation, and the other is a real thing.

In the field of occultism, they respectively represent the authority of the "moon", which is probably a relationship of equal rank, not a relationship of mutual dominance.

If the "Ancestor of the Phoenix" is really resurrected, then He is the matter of "death", or this process, and the uniqueness of the "Death" path in the hands of the Night Goddess is abstract death.

Then the first thing that Hobert thought of was whether to ask the goddess of the night for help?
But he also thought that the goddess of night was not very willing to contact the "River of Eternal Darkness" at this time, so he asked Klein to help him "fetch water" in the future.

So he planned to try to solve it by himself first. If he couldn't solve it, he would pray to the goddess of the night to see if he could get any enlightenment.

Hobert glanced at "Eris" and said, "You can go die."

As he spoke, the "Sword of Preface" appeared in the hand that was not holding the "Brass Book". Hobert casually picked it up and stabbed "Eris", breaking him into pieces again.

"Eris" fell down like rubble and said with a smile: "It's useless."

At this time, the bone-white door of a nearby house built with skeletons suddenly opened.

"Eris" came out of it: "No one can kill me here."

He glanced at Selina: "And I can also use the symbolic meaning here to attack you. It's useless even if you have that barrier."

Hobert realized that this member of the "Underworld Faction" was different from the member he had just killed.

Since he couldn't kill the other party, he planned to move forward, preparing to find the entrance of the "River of Eternal Darkness" in this city, try to seal it, or cut off the connection between the two to see if the problem could be solved?
But in the next second, He suddenly appeared in a room with dim lights. On the sofa in front of Hobert, a family of four sat motionless like puppets, watching together with strange smiles. Hobert.

Their eyes made Hobert's whole body run cold, as if they had awakened some horrific memories deep in his soul.

Hobert was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that this was what "Eris" said, using the "City of the Dead" to launch an attack!
And this scene seemed to be a plot from a horror movie he had seen before.

Suddenly, a very soothing music sounded behind Hobert. However, in such a strange environment, the soothing music seemed to be attacking Hobert's spirit body. Every syllable made him fear. deepen!

Hobert looked back and saw that there was a gramophone behind him, and music was playing at this time. It turned out that the family with weird smiles were enjoying the music of the gramophone.

He looked away, but suddenly found that a family of four with strange smiles had stood up at some point, vaguely surrounding Hobert.

They were still like puppets, standing there motionless, as if they had been standing in the first place.

Hobert took a step back. The bodies and heads of the family of four did not move. Only their eyes continued to move with him.

An invisible sense of fear enveloped the entire room, and Hobert didn't dare to breathe. He felt like the family of four would pounce on him in the next second.

But at the level of an archangel, Hobert still remained calm enough. He thought for a moment and came up with a good idea to break the situation.

At this moment, the music in the gramophone stopped. Although the family of four remained motionless, Hobert's spirit felt that their faces became ferocious.

Knowing that he could wait no longer, He immediately raised his hand and "distorted" the family of four, making their stiff bodies move like puppets and dance happily.

The music in the gramophone sounded again, this time it was no longer soothing music, but music that seemed to hit Hobert's heart, and every syllable could evoke his horrific memories.

Hobert looked at the gramophone. The music suddenly changed and was "distorted" by him into a cheerful piece of music.

The dim lights overhead also became colorful, and the haunted house turned into a dance hall.

Hobert looked at the dancing family of four. The weird smiles on their faces and the ferocious look made their movements even more comical.

"What's so scary?" Hobert said contemptuously.

The four members of the family suddenly merged into one person, who was none other than "Eris", and the surrounding haunted house-like layout also turned into the streets of the "City of the Dead".

Hobert once again included "Eris" in his own barrier, and without any explanation, "distorted" the other person's emotions, making him laugh "haha".

"Eris"'s face was full of reluctance, but he couldn't control his emotions at this time. He laughed so hard that he fell to his knees.

Hobert then continued to move forward while thinking about how to seal it and how to deal with the resurrected ancient god of death. This time, neither "Eris" nor Selina followed.

After just taking a few steps forward, the laughter of "Eris" could no longer be heard, and the surroundings became silent again, as if time had stopped here.

This gave Hobert the illusion that what he was doing had no urgency at all.

Finally, Hobert arrived at the bottom of the city, where there was a huge, dark black palace supported by huge pillars.

Various skulls are inlaid on the walls, and some places are covered with a layer of bloody skins of different races.

Because of the protection of the "State of Disorder", Hobert stepped into the palace. What he saw was a coffin of various styles. Before, floating in the air, there was a coffin that the phoenix struggled to get out of. It should also come from here.

Just as Hobert was about to take the second step, there were sounds like rusty joints opening at once from the inside of these coffins.

He immediately injected spirituality into the "Brass Book of Laws", and this sealed object lived up to expectations with a line of mercury-silver text appearing again: This is the "City of the Dead", and the dead should rest in peace.

All the coffins suddenly became silent.

Hobert continued to walk forward. Deep in the hall, there was a downward passage composed of gray stairs.

There is a huge stone tablet erected at the entrance. On the top of the stone tablet stands a slender statue of a giant bird made of bronze.

There are two sentences composed of the words "Language of the Dead" on the stone tablet: Even the gods cannot escape; even if they die, they will be detained.

Hobert nodded: This is it.

He immediately mobilized the surging power from the "Country of Disorder" to seal the downward entrance, but he found that there was an illusory force fighting against the "Country of Disorder" and could never completely cover the entrance.

That is the power of the "River of Eternal Darkness", and only Sefirah can fight against Seitherium.

Hobert frowned, feeling that he should change his mind.

At this moment, a giant bird's head protruded from the downward entrance!

The "look" of this head is very familiar to Hobert. It is the "Ancient Death" Gray Carrie! Hobert has used the corpse of the "Ancient Death" more than once, so he is very familiar with it!
The ancient god of death was resurrected like this!

Resurrected silently!

There was not much momentum, nor was there any surge of power. It was as if He had never fallen, as if He had taken a rest in the River of Eternal Darkness.

His eyes seemed to be made of bronze, with layers of illusory doors inside.

Even Hobert, who had become an archangel, looked into the eyes of the ancient god of death and felt his spiritual body was impacted.

Fortunately, there is a barrier composed of the power of the "State of Disorder", otherwise Hobert's spirit body would have been severely damaged!
Hobert had already made a plan and put on glasses made of "Order Crystal". When he could look directly at his opponent, Hobert immediately expanded the barriers formed by the "State of Disorder" and destroyed the resurrected ancient God of Death. included.

At the same time, a new rule appeared on the "Brass Book of Rules" in his hand: The God of Death is dead, so he is called the God of Death.

The feathers on the head of the ancient god of death fell off, revealing the rotten skin with yellowish pus inside.
