Chapter 6: Constant Reversal
The blue gears in Edwin's body were constantly shaking, and the demonic being who wanted to transform Edwin suddenly fell silent,
"Why don't you speak?" Edwin found himself in control of his body again, his top bare and the blue gear hovering beside him. The power of the bloodline healed his wounds quickly, but a feeling of extreme weakness still permeated his body.
"Gustav was able to do this. There was even some excitement in his words.
"You ruined the ancient dwarves, I am the son of the devil, but I will not become a real demon like you. Gustav's shadow was projected on the gears, and a huge alchemical magic circle that enveloped the entire area was slashed out on the ground with his wand, flashing with golden light.
On the other side, Rudolph and Alfred are trapped in a labyrinth of underground and suddenly sense strong magical fluctuations.
"Another space!" the two said in unison.
"It must be the space Edwin is, there's still hope!"
"Alfred, where the hell is this, and why is there room to be folded?" Rudolph frowned.
Alfred groaned slightly, "This is the underground where the kingdom meets the dwarven tribes. β
"The ruins of Ares?"
"You're obsessed with it!Alfred, the dead can't be resurrected!"
"No, I don't believe it, don't mention it. Alfred waved his hand, his expression grimaging for the first time.
Gustav's thin body was like a source of magic at this time, and the magic power was unleashed endlessly.
"This is the strength God has given me. Demons, I have been waiting for three thousand years with those deceased people!"
"Do you really think I'm going to be trapped by you?
"I've been dead for three thousand years. Gustav's wand trembled, "Georg, aren't you showing up yet?"
Edwin heard the name of the voice for the first time, and then he saw the face again, still with bulging eyes and a distorted smile, but with an extra body. From the moment he got onto the bench, the face was gone, and only the voice echoed in Edwin's ears.
"Gustav, I didn't expect you to actually do this, it's really good. Georg clapped his hands and complimented.
"Have you ever wondered why after you died, I quickly disguised myself as you, and those dwarves embarked on the path of conquering the world for me?"
Gustav looked at him silently and did not speak.
"Because the oracle is actually made by me!Hahahaha, only if you voluntarily seal your soul into that gear, the alchemy god will not find out that Gustav is actually me, understand?"
"To put it more clearly, the god of alchemy has long since given up on you as the leader of the dwarves led the dwarves to their own destruction. Got it? Hahahaha. The smile on Georg's face widened.
"If you don't believe it, you can try, the magic power you have accumulated for three thousand years is just rootless water, and it is useless at all. β
"I don't think with your wisdom, you shouldn't have discovered that your current magic array is just a faΓ§ade. Georg laughed more and more wildly.
"And the magic power you've accumulated for three thousand years will be my last help in breaking this damn seal!" the figure roared wildly.
"I ......" Gustav suddenly felt a little desperate, maybe this world is destined to become the private property of these demons, his figure is becoming more and more illusory.
"Smack" "Slap" "Slap"
Continuous applause came from another place, "Georg, what a calculation, even I was almost deceived." "A middle-aged man in a traditional duke's top hat came out of the shadows.
"Why did you come?" said Georg, who seemed to dislike him.
"Break the seal and be free, even the son of the devil is yours, admire and admire. β
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"Wouldn't it be better for me to celebrate the success of my old friend from the past?"
"Borui, don't try to snatch the Demon Son, he's mine. β
"I don't rob. Bory's temperament seemed to have changed a lot since he came out, and he really stood there, looking at Georg playfully.
The blue gear was still glowing, and although the light of the alchemy magic array on the ground was weakening, it had never disappeared.
"Georg, those gods are called gods because they are omniscient and omnipotent, and believers believe in them, and they can respond to believers. β
"I'm leaving, you can do it yourself. Borui then disappeared into the darkness.
"I still like to pretend to be a ghost. β
Edwin kept his head down, his hands clutching the gear to his chest, he didn't believe that the god of alchemy would let the dwarves' hopes of revenge be dashed when he saw this.
"O all-knowing and all-powerful God, I draw on my blood that you will answer my call and hear my supplication. "He sprinkled his blood on the magic array,
"Let me call you a teacher, when I witnessed the history of your dwarves, you also taught me the ancient alchemy magic, I should be considered your disciple. β
Edwin bowed to Gustav, then his eyes closed, and blue air began to appear on the sides of his arms, and dark blue robed phantoms appeared behind Edwin who closed his eyes and prayed sincerely.
"Son of the Devil, you are the Son of the Devil!
"You can't stop him. Gustav looked at Georg calmly, and he looked up at the face of the robed phantom, and saw that it was exactly the same as Edwin.
"Georg, it's time for you to be punished, isn't three thousand years of captivity enough? β
The robed phantom was even more majestic than the steel giants that stood tall, and he held out his hand, and the blue gear suddenly enlarged into a real magic circle, covering everything in the area.
"How could a god appear underground! I left a way for myself three thousand years ago, I can't be trapped in a gear!" Georg activated all the war machines in this space, accompanied by the huge roar of machinery, as if the heavens and the earth were trembling.
"If I am sealed, then the son of the demon who sealed me, I want you to bury me with me!" His life is not unlimited, if he is sealed again, he may really die of old age there.
Georg howled frantically, the body he controlled shattered in his mental rage, and the war machine stopped as the magic circle covered it, everything was still, even the dust particles suspended in the air. And the blue color of the gear was gradually replaced by a black sheen.
"No, I don't want ...... You're just a projection of God......" The voice in the gears gradually dissipated.
"Georg, you are too arrogant. He smiled at Gustav again.
"Gustav, would you like to go to the kingdom of God?"
"God, I do. You have not given up your humble servant. Gustav bowed deeply to the blue phantom.
"It's me who should say I'm sorry, I shouldn't have given up. The blue phantom sighed, and with a wave of his hand, a golden staircase appeared, leading Gustav to open the door with him.
Edwin used the last of his strength and fell to the ground, the black gear falling right next to him. He was enveloped in blue light, and Gustav's words faintly came to his ears,
"Edwin, as a teacher, this is my gift to you, my alchemical magic will be passed on by you, thank you for all that you have done for us dwarves and given us hope. β
"Teacher......" Edwin muttered.
Edwin's body had long since returned to its original form, but the few seeds he was carrying when he left were watered by Gustav's magical power and began to grow wildly.
The branch wrapped around Edwin and kept moving upward, slowing down as it passed through the spatial film.
"Alfred, listen. β
"Huh? It's the sound of those seeds of yours growing. Alfred said in surprise.
"Hurry up, Edwin is still alive. Rudolph hurried back, and sure enough, he found him after walking for a while.
"It's really him. Rudolph stroked the branches, "With such a strong amount of magical energy, what did he go through when he disappeared?"
"If he wakes up, he can come to me, we are very desperate. Alfred added, "It's definitely not a bad salary. β
"Forget it. Rudolph pouted.
"Teacher...... Mr. Alfred ...... "Edwin heard their conversation.
"Edwin, it's good to be alive. β
"It's good to be alive. β
"Hmm......" Edwin nodded slightly, fainting again.
"Let's go, get out of this hellish place. Rudolph recited the incantation, and the branches began to grow wildly upwards again, through layers of dirt, leading the three of them towards the place where the sun was shining.
And not long after they left, the void was torn apart by a pair of claws,
"It's not so much the son of the devil as the child of fate. "Borui appeared on the real ruins.
"It's a pity, the control here is in the hands of that little guy......"
"Georg, you don't understand until you are sealed, that gear is a godsend. Borui sighed, and was about to leave when he noticed a shadow on the ground wriggling.
"Interesting, Georg, you want to be reborn in a place like the Ruins of Ares that is filled with chaotic magical energy. β
"Dream on. Borui grabbed the shadow directly in his hand, and the shadow burned by the purple flame in his palm kept howling sharply.
He swallowed the shadow.
"It's delicious. β
