The road to completion starts from the Gate of Truth

Santuhe and Hong looked at this scene in shock and said in disbelief: "How is this possible? Once this ritual is launched, it cannot be stopped! What on earth have you done?!" "Impossible ...Heh, it seems that the being who gave you power didn't tell you much!" Fang Yuan looked at Santuhe Kazuhiro who was struggling because of his unwillingness, and didn't intend to talk nonsense with him anymore: "Well, I have learned the lesson from the last time and will not give you another chance!" He stretched out his hand, pointed it in the direction of Santuhe and Hong, and gave it a firm squeeze.

The next moment, the golden chains binding each other burst out with dazzling light, and destructive power suddenly erupted within a few feet. Santuhe and Hong, who were trapped inside, were the first to bear the brunt.

"No, don't! I still have an unfulfilled wish. I still have to resurrect my mother. I still have a lot of things to do. How could I die here?!!" Santuhe and Hong, who had become an evil spirit, knew that if he If he really died here, he wouldn't even be able to become a ghost, let alone fulfill his obsession with resurrecting his mother! Faced with the threat of complete death, Santuhe Kazuhiro's survival instinct and desire to fulfill his obsession overwhelmed everything else. His whole body erupted with spiritual power that was far better than before, and layer after layer of shadows emerged from the darkness. The entity was condensed and blocked in front of Santuhe and Hong, trying to stop the energy frenzy carrying destructive power.

Not only him, but also the killing stones he carried that had not yet been integrated into his body, under Fang Yuan's power of indiscriminate destruction, spontaneously erupted with spiritual power full of evil aura, trying to prevent their own destruction. .

Even though the power of the Killing Stone exploded independently to protect the Lord, and he was blessed by the power of a certain great being, he was still defeated by the crushing power gap, and was crushed inch by inch by the energy storm. Crushed, dead without a burial place.

"How could it be, why..." With the last words full of unwillingness and resentment, Santuhe and Hong, who were supposed to cause a huge disaster in this world and even bring huge () trouble to Fang Yuan, just disappeared into thin air. .

——Just when Fang Yuan thought so, suddenly, a substantial shadow spewed out from the place where Santuhe and Hongshen died, turning into a dark curtain and swallowing up Fang Yuan who was unable to dodge in the blink of an eye.

For an instant, Fang Yuan seemed to have fallen into a dark vacuum without gravity. Not only was there no place to focus on his body, but he could not see, hear, smell, or touch anything, not even his own body. The body cannot feel it.

In fact, even the various extraordinary sensory abilities he had acquired through various trainings lost their effectiveness in this darkness, as if he had returned to the mortal period.

In such an environment where he has lost all five senses of the body, Fang Yuan's sense of time is even blurred. This is for him who has become Yang Shen and has also cultivated the third method, and can grasp almost every thought of his own. , is very incredible.

But Fang Yuan no longer had the time to think about these issues.

In such a dark void, Fang Yuan, who had lost all his ability to perceive, could not help but feel irritation rising in his heart.

Accompanying it were murmurs that seemed to come from deep within his heart, interfering with his thoughts from the inside out, disrupting his thoughts, and even trying to manipulate and modify his memory.

'Is this Nyarlathotep's method...' Fang Yuan knew at the moment the accident happened that what caught him was not the backhand left by Santuhe and Hong before his death, but the An indescribable alien god who controls everything from afar and looks down on all living things like a game.

‘However, it’s not like I’m unprepared! ' Fang Yuan, who only had consciousness, condensed his spiritual body in nothingness. Although he knew that he could not see anything, he still tried to open his eyes wide - not to see, but to reveal something in his pupils. Something like that——In the shadow curtain, even though he lost the perception and control of his body, Fang Yuan in the darkness also opened his eyes following the movement of his conscious body.

In the eyes that could not see anything, a five-pointed star array shone with faint light, and the slightest trace of lightning flashed in the array.

The next moment, billions of rays of light poured in from the void, tearing apart the dark shadow that obscured everything, and forming the shadow of a huge portal around Fang Yuan's body.

This was the back-up plan that Fang Yuan immediately prepared for himself after learning that Nyarlathotep's incarnation appeared in this world - a stone engraved on the body and soul that could summon the truth anytime and anywhere. The formation formed by the projection of the gate.

For Fang Yuan, once it really comes to the point of confronting Nyarlathotep, this is the only way he can save himself.

——Although, he doesn’t know whether Yog-Sothoth’s incarnation of the Gate of Truth will protect himself when facing Nyarlathotep, who is also an outer god, or simply sell him out. , after all, as a human being, he still cannot truly understand the thoughts of those indescribable existences! Today is the second update')407'\u003eChapter 406: One night passed, the sun still rose as usual

Fortunately, the Gate of Truth did not disappoint Fang Yuan's expectations, and indeed saved Fang Yuan's life in this critical moment.

Well, if the Gate of Truth didn't save him, maybe he wouldn't have died just now, but considering the methods that those indescribable systems use, it is estimated that the end will not be much better than death.

——Whether it is a twisted mind that turns him into a follower of Nyarlathotep, or he cannot bear the tampering of his personality and goes completely crazy, or his body undergoes a malignant mutation, these are all very likely.

Of course, these are just "ifs". The reality is that with the help of the power of the Gate of Truth, Fang Yuan finally saw the light of day again after tearing the shadow curtain that trapped him - yes, it is already the next morning.

In the dark void in the shadow, Fang Yuan's sense of time has been blurred. Although he feels that only more than ten minutes have passed, in fact, several hours have passed in the outside world. That chaotic night full of killing and death has completely passed.

"It's really miserable..." Standing on the roof of a tall building, Fang Yuan sighed as he looked down at the Tokyo city that was almost about to fall into ruins in the morning light.

But he just sighed about it, and didn't have any more thoughts in his mind.

After all, Fang Yuan himself disliked Japan as a country. Except for a few special individuals (such as the beautiful young lady), he did not have much good feelings for the citizens of this country. Although many people died this time, it did not reach the point where he felt sad and unbearable.

After all, according to the rules of this world, the existence of evil spirits is the result of the evil thoughts of all living beings in the mortal world combined with the souls of the dead who were reluctant to leave, and then formed in a rich spiritual environment.

These people who died because of evil spirits, to a certain extent, can be said to have suffered their own consequences - if these people had not released so many filthy evil thoughts every day, there would not be so many evil spirits being bred! 　　Of course, although Fang Yuan did not care about the life and death of these Japanese, he would not let the bad situation here continue - you know, the blood-red marks produced by the Sanzu River and Hong's ritual did not disappear because of the interruption of the ritual.

These terrible marks, which can melt all direct and indirect contacts into blood mud in one breath when activated, are actually a combination of Sanzu River and Hong's polluted spiritual power, "sins" precipitated by killing and blood, the resentment and residual souls of the dead, the residues of the evil spirits after death, and most importantly, a trace of power from Nyarlathotep.

This is a kind of power information condensation that runs through the material level, energy level and information concept level. Although it was temporarily suppressed by Fang Yuan with the power of [Ether] in the form of fine-tuning regional laws, if it is not handled properly, once it is out of the suppression state, its characteristics of wiping out all contacts will still be reactivated, and the originally interrupted ceremony will still be completed spontaneously.

Although Fang Yuan came to this time and space, he was somewhat forced, but he also came to save the world. It is true that the invasion of the alien world will lead to the destruction of the world, but this evil god sacrifice ceremony is a dangerous factor with endless poison. The final consequences may be more terrible than the simple invasion of the alien world. Fang Yuan can't just leave it alone.

And if you want to purify it, because these marks contain a trace of power projection from Nyarlathotep, ordinary spiritual power flushing can't do anything about this stubborn and highly polluting existence.

It can be said that now these bloody marks that are almost spread over most of the Tokyo metropolitan area have become stubborn psoriasis rooted on the surface of the earth. Although they are temporarily suppressed and no harm can be seen, they may deteriorate into poisonous sores or even skin cancer at any time! "In this case, why not use these toxic garbage and waste..." Fang Yuan's mind moved, and he issued an order to Jianshan Ming who was unknown.

... "Is it over..." Standing in a ruin, Jianshan Huangquan, who had not slept all night, looked up at the sun that had risen high, and then looked down at the battlefield in front of him. Although there were no corpses in front of him, it was far more tragic than the corpses everywhere.

In those bloody marks that looked like dried blood, there was no telling how many people's flesh and blood were mixed in, many of whom were fellow exorcists she had met before, or acquaintances in the supernatural circle, and even her fiancé... But at this moment, they all turned into bloody "dye" without any distinction, dyeing the entire city red from the inside out... For the first time, Jianshan Huangquan had a clear concept of the word "war" in his heart.

Yes, if this scene in front of him is not a war, then what can it be called? 　　And this is not a war between humans and humans, there is still room for political compromise, this is a more tragic, bloodier, more unreserved, and more life-and-death war between humans and evil spirits.

"Evil spirits..." Jianshan Huangquan clenched the handle of the knife in his hand that he had not put down all night, and his hatred for evil spirits, which should not exist in the world, reached an unprecedented level.

Just at this moment - Ding-ling-ling... A familiar yet unfamiliar sound rang out. Jianshan Huangquan was stunned for several seconds before he came to his senses. This was the ringtone of his own cell phone.

She slowly took out her phone and saw dozens of "missed calls" on the screen, as well as the familiar names marked behind those missed calls. The girl couldn't help but smile reassuringly: "Kagura-chan..." "Sister Huangquan" ? ! Great! You finally answered the phone! The battle seemed fierce yesterday, and my father didn’t allow me to go out. I didn’t know what happened outside. How are you? Is everyone in the room okay?" Before Isayama Yoshizumi could say a complete sentence, a series of questions came from the other side of the phone, which made her feel a little overwhelmed, but also felt an indescribable warmth.

——After such a tragic and cruel battle, there was such a lovely person caring about him in the distance. Isayama Yomi, who had been a little unbalanced by the whole night of fighting and death, could not help but regain some warmth in his heart.

"I'm fine, everyone in the countermeasures room... Iizuna-kun... died in the battle!" Isayama Yomi hesitated to tell such a sad news.

"How could..." Tsuchimiya Kagura on the other end of the phone was a little unbelievable. Iizuna Noriyuki was not only Isayama Yomi's fiancée, but also an acquaintance of Tsuchimiya Kagura since childhood.

We had been joking and chatting together the day before, but one night later we heard such tragic news. The little girl who had never experienced such a thing found it very difficult to accept it.

"..." "..." The two girls looked at each other silently across the phone for a long time.

')408'\u003eChapter 407 Transfer of Power \u0026 Vision of the World

Just when the two Lily heroines over there were feeling sad for the sacrifice of the least significant male protagonist, on this side, Isayama Mei, who had recovered her strength, also received an imperial order from her god: "By Shall I take over the suppression of these ritual remnants..." Isayama Mei looked at the bloody marks spreading almost everywhere in the city with some fear. After hesitating for half a second, he still accepted the order of the God Lord.

Although she was still frightened by the terrifying power that almost trapped her to death, now that the Lord God had spoken, as a miko, she had no room to refute.

What's more, now that these terrifying marks that make people die if touched have been completely suppressed by Fang Yuan, all she needs is to take over the control of the Tokyo metropolitan area and maintain the fine-tuning of the laws in this area.

She once again manifested the body of a human god with blond hair and red eyes, and her clothes were changed into a witch costume that represented the authority of the earth.

At a level that humans cannot detect, a will starts from Isayama Mei's position and spreads in all directions along the flow of the earth's veins like flowing water.

And in this earth vein, another more powerful will that originally existed, withdrew with great cooperation, and gave up the control of these earth veins to those who came after.

A few minutes later, when the last bit of Fang Yuan's will was withdrawn from the earth veins within the Tokyo metropolitan area, Isayama Mei's will followed closely, and finally completely mastered all the earth vein power in this vast area.

A feeling of omnipotence suddenly came to Isayama Mei's heart.

She could feel that as long as she had a thought, the entire land would move according to her will, whether it was raising mountains, changing rivers, spawning plants, controlling wild beasts, or even creating earthquakes and overthrowing surface civilization. ... Everything truly told her what the so-called "god" looked like.

——Not the human God who was still trapped in the mortal body before, but the "God" who truly combines authority with the body, and God and Tao are together! Fortunately, this illusion only existed for a moment, and he woke up the next moment.

Because she could feel that just "below" her consciousness, or deeper under the earth, there was a more stalwart, vaster, and more sacred consciousness slowly flowing - this must be the Divine Lord. Your true self, sir! Feeling the great existence whose energy intensity was billions of times greater than his own, Isayama Mei thought so, not daring to have any more distractions, he concentrated his energy within the scope of his own authority, and tried his best to maintain this. The adjusted legal structure in this area continues to suppress those bloody marks that may reappear at any time.

With his hands free, Fang Yuan can concentrate on another important matter - locating the different world that is getting closer and closer.

Yes, after experiencing Nyarlathotep's "lesson" this time, Fang Yuan knew that with such a troublemaker, the previous plan would no longer work, so he decisively gave up the defense. Instead of planning to fight back, he chose to take the initiative and destroy the other world that threatened the survival of this world first! Well, by the way, we can also solve the mess left by Santuhe and Hong - since these stubborn and poisonous "psoriasis" are difficult to purify and cure, then simply peel off the skin with "psoriasis" , throw it at the enemy! Although it is probably impossible to destroy a world like this "small" scene caused by Santuhe and Hong, it should still cause some trouble to the other party.

Of course, Fang Yuan's real plan is to use absolute violence to destroy these highly toxic "psoriasis" in the void together with that other world! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​OUT out of the clone, and at the same time, gave control of part of the earth's surface to Isayama Mei, all consciousness retracted to Fang Yuan inside the planet's spiritual body, and once again deeply connected with the consciousness of [Ether].

At this moment, the earth's planet spirit has changed from [ether] to Fang Yuan. The alchemist who has usurped the power of the planet has once again sublimated from the narrow human perspective to the higher perspective of the planet level.

Unlike the last time he was forced to "unify" under huge pressure, which could only last for a short moment, this time, with the [ether] that has already reclaimed most of the planet's authority as a buffer, Fang Yuan can maintain it at this height for a long time. Go down.

Last time, he only used the interference of planet-level spirits in time and space to briefly peek at some information up and down the timeline, and did not set his sights outside the world.

This time, Fang Yuan was finally able to withdraw his gaze from the inside of the world and look into the void between the worlds from an intuitive perspective.

Just like a baby who opened his eyes to look at the world for the first time, Fang Yuan, who looked at the void from the perspective of a planet, was also completely curious about this strange scenery that was completely different from the inside of the world.

It was not void in the conventional sense, with neither spatial direction nor clear time scale, but a kind of "emptiness" that was difficult to describe in human language.

On a world-to-world level, the so-called "distance" is meaningless. The other world that is approaching the spirit-eating world actually has no real concept of "far and near" in the void.

Just as Fang Yuan once felt with the help of the power of the Gate of Truth, there are no so-called "coordinates" between worlds, but positioning relies on different "conceptual elements" one after another.

The "distance" between the two worlds is gradually "getting closer". It can be considered that the two worlds have a huge overlap in certain "elements", and this overlap is still expanding. When a threshold is reached, the two worlds will officially " Collision and contact, either one side devours the other, or neither side can do anything about the other, eventually merging into a brand new world that mixes the rules and characteristics of the two sides.

——Of course, it is also possible that both worlds will suffer losses, be destroyed together in the world annexation war, and eventually turn into a dead wreckage in the void.

When looking into the void outside the world from the perspective of the planet, Fang Yuan "saw" the different world that was already very "close" by following the instinctive induction from the planet.

Although the situation inside the world cannot be seen from outside the world, as the instinct of the planet spirit, Fang Yuan can still know that the world opposite is "sick", "sick" is very serious, and "sick" is terminal. That kind of thing.

It can even be said that the world on the opposite side that is about to be invaded is already "dead", but some beings have used another force to forcibly extend its vitality. It is dead but not stiff, and has become a "zombie" in the world, and wants to With the help of the new "body" of the world of food spirits, one can obtain the "body seizing" and "rebirth" of the world.

PS: Still the second update')409'\u003eChapter 408 Cross-World War - Prologue

When Fang Yuan looked at another world outside the world with the vision of the planet, there was also a pair of eyes in the opposite world looking at the "location" where the world of eating spirits was located.

The "sights" of both sides intersected in the void. In an instant, the two extraordinary sights, carrying real real power, collided with each other in the void. An explosive force broke out at the intersection, which faintly shook the dimensions of time and space. The vibrations spread instantly and spread to countless worlds in the void.

Buzz - Fang Yuan, who was one with the spirit of the planet, only felt a buzzing sound coming from his ears, followed by a burst of dizziness, as if he had been hit on the head by someone when he was still an ordinary person.

However, this abnormality only lasted for a few moments before he recovered. He cast his "sight" outside the world again, only to find that he could no longer sense the state of that world as clearly as before. At most, he could only " See" the other party's "position".

It seems that there is enough power in that world! Fang Yuan sighed as he gradually began to gather the terrifying power accumulated in the planet - the battle had already begun at this moment! ... In that fierce stare across the two worlds, Fang Yuan just felt dizzy in his consciousness, but in the other world, the person looking at him was more miserable than Fang Yuan imagined. More—— "Pfft——!!!" In the altar enshrining the Trioctahedron, the ten worshipers spurted out a mouthful of dark blood containing rich spirit seeds, and all of them were seriously injured in an instant.

"Damn it, there is such a monster in that world!" As if due to the backlash of some terrible force, the ten humanoid beings suddenly grew ferocious tumors and various tentacles. They will all mutate into even more terrifying monsters.

"Hell, hell!" "This is the backlash of divine power!" "Quickly, start the life sacrifice!" Fortunately, everyone was prepared for this, and immediately activated the sacrifice circle engraved on the world. In an instant, hundreds of thousands of terrifying monsters in the endless wilderness ruins outside the altar instantly collapsed in a burst of dark flash into stardust points emitting purple-black light, pointing in the direction of the altar from all directions. Float away.

These light fragments refined from the bodies and lives of countless monsters, after entering the scope of the altar, were first poured into the ten humanoids guarding the altar one by one, and then rushed out of their bodies with more pollution. , finally gathered into the trapezoidal octahedron at the highest point of the altar, and were swallowed up by this so-called "artifact".

When all the stardust brilliance was completely swallowed up, the ten figures beside the altar also restored their original form, and the mutations such as the tentacle tumors on their bodies disappeared.

"...It seems that we have hit a wall this time. That world is not what we saw before. It is a weak world without high-end power. There are powerful and terrible strong people there!" The leading figure wiped the traces of blood left at the corners of his mouth and said seriously.

"Yes, he can "see" us through the power of two worlds, and he can fight us who are blessed by the artifact on equal terms, and even make all of us so seriously injured. That guy, could he be the "god" of that world?! Just like the spirit king who once existed in our world?" Another person touched the place where the mutation had just occurred on his body, and said with some lingering fear.

"Hmph! The Spirit King... I won't admit that guy is a god. At best, he is just a wedge to maintain the stability of our world!" Someone else disparaged the "Spirit King" mentioned by the previous person in a contemptuous tone, but the meaning behind his words did not deny the other party's statement about the "God" of the other world.

Yes, judging from the brief confrontation between the two sides this time, if the owner of that "gaze" did not gather the power of the crowd with the help of the power of the artifact like them, but simply relied on his own strength, then the other party's performance could indeed be called a "God".

"Don't think too much of the enemy. Maybe the other side is just like us. It can only obtain such power with the help of some kind of artifact!" But some people are unwilling to believe that in the world that should have been their prey, there is actually such an existence beyond control.

"No, we can't be too optimistic! We are not fighting the Death God of Jingling Court, and we already know the details of the other party before the war. Instead, we are fighting against another strange world where we cannot get accurate intelligence! The information we obtained through the artifact sensing before was still too shallow. That world is obviously not the kind of existence that we imagined as only prey!" The only woman among the ten people stroked her chest, which was almost like a lotus pod. While thanking her for her timely response, she said cautiously and calmly.

"Humph! No matter what kind of power the other side has, in front of the glory of our Lord, it will eventually become the nourishment for the rebirth of our world!" Another old man with muscular and gray hair refuted the woman's statement with disdain, and seemed very confident in the power of "my Lord" in his mouth.

"Tsk... Old man, you underestimate the enemy so much. If you are pressed to death by the strong man on the opposite side, I will not avenge you!" A young man next to the old man said in a teasing tone.

The grumpy old man was obviously irritated: "You, are you looking for trouble? Don't think I won't do it here at the altar!" "... Stop arguing! The world on the other side has already noticed our arrival, and can even attack us across the distance between the worlds. We can't proceed slowly according to the original plan!" The leader interrupted the increasingly noisy and chaotic scene and told his plan: "Prepare for the world sacrifice, sacrifice all the last remnants of the Soul Society, use the power of the artifact to launch a direct attack, and hit the other side's world first!" "..." The other nine people looked at each other, somewhat surprised at the leader's ruthlessness. After all, their original plan was to gain a complete new world by invading. Unexpectedly, after an uncontrollable change, they planned to launch a destructive attack directly. It was really decisive.

However, after a brief thought, they had to agree that this was indeed the safest and most successful approach.

"""Understood!""" Everyone answered in unison.

……')410'\u003eChapter 409 Sacrificing the world, energy torrents, war between worlds

Whether it was Fang Yuan or the other world formerly known as the world of the god of death, both sides chose to launch a direct cross-world attack.

At this time, it depends on which side is faster.

On the other side, after the leader gave the order, the ten humanoid beings beside the altar launched the world sacrifice ceremony together.

What they want to sacrifice is the most important part of this world - its name is "Soul Society", which is essentially the same as the "Underworld" in mythology and legends, and it is also the place where the souls of living beings reincarnate after death.

Originally, this world composed purely of spirit particles was not in the same dimension as the real world. In addition to pure spiritual creatures such as the god of death and the hollow, only a very small number of humans with special talents could contact it.

However, all this ended after the disappearance of the Soul King.

As a wedge for the existence of a stable world, the Soul King himself represents a part of the world structure. When He disappears, the isolation and stability between the various dimensions in the world suddenly disappear. The spirit worlds such as Soul Society and Hueco Mundo have long been integrated with the broken real world and have become part of the wreckage of this world.

However, even so, the independent "Soul Society" still exists. Although most of it has been integrated with the rest of the world, there is still a part of the independent space that remains, still stubbornly maintaining a closed state and has not been completely integrated into the real world.

And this part is exactly what the ten people at the altar want to sacrifice.

Between the dark clouds and the purgatory-like land, a mirage-like shadow gradually emerged from the void, becoming clearer and clearer.

Looking closely, it was a huge town where many ancient building ruins could be vaguely seen.

——This was the last remnant of the city called "Seireitei" that was once the center of Soul Society.

Even after experiencing huge disasters such as the loss of the Soul King, the collapse of the three realms, and the fusion of space, the capital of the dead, which had been strengthened by countless generations of death gods day and night for millions of years, still stubbornly survived until the last moment.

However, at this moment, the former enemies, who believed in the evil gods outside the world and mastered the power of the artifacts, launched a ceremony together to completely bury the last trace of this ancient soul residence.

When the mirage-like shadow of the city ruins gradually emerged from the void, the next moment, dark cracks climbed up from the clouds, the earth, and the void to the remains of the "Soul Society" that were gradually stripped from the spatial dimension.

Crack, crack -- Bang! ! ! With a sound of shattering that resounded throughout the world, the remains of the "Soul Society" were like a broken mirror. Under the effect of the sacrificial ritual engraved in the world, they were completely shattered from the spatial level and turned into a pure energy torrent.

The energy that annihilated everything turned into a hot and dazzling stream of light. It should have exploded in an instant and completely destroyed everything in the world. However, under the guidance of invisible rituals, it curled up and wandered between heaven and earth, and wiped out all the living and dead things along the way. Finally, under the guidance of the power of the rectangular trioctahedron that was worshipped as a sacred artifact, it penetrated the boundary between the inside and outside of the world and poured towards a certain direction in the void... Maybe it was fate, or the tacit understanding of both parties. Just when the existence of the other world launched a cross-world attack by sacrificing a part of the world itself, Fang Yuan was also ready to attack.

Just when the two sides had fought evenly with "gaze", Fang Yuan mobilized the power of the entire planet through [ether]. In the spiritual sea of ​​the earth, the endless spiritual power that had been unified by a grand will gradually began to flow and gather.

Looking at the direction of the power gathering, it was the direction of the Tokyo metropolitan area of ​​the Japanese archipelago.

And the effect on the real world was the faint vibration under the earth.
