In this "sun" always hanging high in the sky, there is no night, there is no dark space, and the originally bright and blazing light has finally dimmed a little.

At first, such a change was not noticeable.

It was as if a faint layer of clouds had shrouded the sky.

With the exception of some sensitive humans and Facelings, most sapient beings are unaware of this change.

But soon.

The light dimmed faster and faster, like the sun from noon, to dusk in the blink of an eye.

The sky began to get overcast.

Combined with the dilapidated and ruined buildings of the ancient city, numerous pillars of light, falling potholes, and the aftermath of the battle have destroyed the original appearance of the city.

Also, the corpses of humans, facelings, and xenomorphs are piled up together, and they can't be distinguished from each other.

The dull color of blood, in the dim light, was even more dyed with a treacherous aura.

If we talk about the ancient kingdom before, when the transcendent beings first saw it, in addition to being shocked, they would also feel a "sacred" feeling or two from it.

Now, that sacredness is gone.

Instead, it becomes like some kind of end-time scene.

What a post-apocalyptic scene!

The light is dimmer.

Darkness slowly came like a tidal wave, and even the most of the most intellectually low-intelligence human-faced hounds could realize the unusual state of affairs.

The vast majority of Li Lai fell into a mood that can be called "dazed".

Because in their long careers, this has never been the case.

For the Facelings, the "sun" always hangs overhead, and it always radiates light.

Since they had forgotten their memories of being humans, they didn't even have the concept of "night" or "night", so they were puzzled by the darkness that was gradually descending.

The worst are the low-intelligence xenomorph creatures.

They are unable to comprehend the existence of darkness, and beyond human eyesight, they slowly fail in the darkness, becoming blind and unable to see their surroundings.

- Over a long period of time, their bodies have been evolving, eliminating the ability of "night vision".

It's not something unimaginable.

It's like in the deep ocean where there is no light, and the animals' vision is completely degraded.

In an ancient country where there was no night, xenomorphs naturally did not have the function of "night vision".

This gave the human transcendents under the sky a respite.

"Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"

Ayaka Hino fell to her knees, coughing violently, as if she was about to cough out her lungs.

There was blood on the corners of her mouth.

The fair-skinned and pretty face was no longer as beautiful as it used to be, and the left eye socket was covered with dirty blood, and a deep bone-staining scratch passed through it.

Ayaka Hino lost a leg, a palm, and an eye.

But the price of such a tragic price is much better than that of the companions around him.

The swordsman lay in a pool of blood, covered in a blur of flesh and blood, and not a single piece of skin was missing.

The man with the blindfold turned into a mangled corpse, his upper and lower body split in half, and his internal organs scattered all over the ground.

Ayaka Hino struggled to open her only remaining eye and look at the sky......

Andrei the Woolly Bear sat on top of the corpse of the human-faced hound, covered in dirt and bruises, and his eyes glazed and confused.

He's safe, for now.

But the three people who were with him were all overwhelmed by the tide of xenomorphic creatures.

Andrei also saw the sight in the sky.

"Haha! Hahaha......"

He was laughing, but he was laughing worse than crying.

All the humans who were desperately struggling on the ground, as well as the Facelings, looked up at the sky at the same time.

At this moment, their movements were unexpectedly unified.

There is a certain sense of ritual that cannot be put into words.

Black.

A black that is so rich that it can't be dissolved.

High above the heads of living beings.

That black color is so pure, so pure that it seems to have no impurities.

No matter how bright and hot the light is, it can't completely penetrate them.

To the Facelings, the black color was undoubtedly a strong blasphemy.

But in people's eyes, the loss of the world of light makes them feel more at ease.

It may seem absurd to say, but even at this point, the "sacred" and "bright" side are still faceless, and this place is like a paradise, and the sacrificial beings are like angels of the gods, and the "sun" itself is the existence they believe in.

But what humans can see as a savior is this darkness that looks evil and weird.

No matter how you look at it, it's full of strong irony.

Black, devouring the "sun"!

They spread violently, slowly but resolutely.

It takes into account the characteristics of both gases and liquids.

The method of devouring is not at all like the celestial change of the surface world, "Tengu Eclipse Sun", which starts with a small horn.

The Tengu Eclipse is nothing more than a visual scene formed by the relative positions of the three planets that happen to be in the same line.

What the black mass in the sky now has to do is to devour all the "sun"!

It is like turning into a huge net, enveloping the "sun" from the bottom up.

To put it another more aesthetically pleasing metaphor, it is as if a black flower blooms in the sky, and the dazzling "sun" is ...... The stamens of the flowers!

This is also the reason why the light in the sky suddenly dims.

It took a few more breaths, and the sky approached dusk, and it turned into the appearance of night gradually falling.

Both six-winged sacrificial rays fell silent for a moment.

The absence of any movement means that they are surprised and shocked.

This is truly something that has never happened in thousands of years!

Or rather, this is something that has never happened since the establishment of this ancient civilization!

[He's killing himself.] 】

Maruyama Kotono's rationality came to such a judgment.

According to common sense, if you dare to challenge the existence of "Him", there will only be one end - death without a place to be buried!

But, on the other hand.

That blasphemer doesn't seem to fall within the bounds of common sense!

At least, not in their generalizations.

Before this, even Maruyama Kotono had never expected that the other party would do such a thing.

It can finally understand where the uneasiness in the bottom of the heart comes from.

The very existence of the blasphemer is the greatest destabilizing factor.

How did he come up with the idea to do that?

And how did you get there?

The answers to these questions are unknown to Maruyama, but one thing it can confirm - only by eliminating the unstable blasphemer can it get out of this "uneasy" state.

So, the fleshy wings behind it waved, propelling its body upwards.

The intent of this action was so obvious that in an instant, it was seen through by the transcendents on the tower.

When they look at each other, they can see each other's consciousness.

Obviously, the blackness that covers the sky is their only hope for a turnaround, and there is only one thing people can do and do—

"Stop it!"

Even at the cost of life!

The transcendent who dragged the broken body rushed forward desperately.

——————————

Higher up, an even more dangerous battle is underway.

【Ironing...... It's hot! 】

【Host ......】

Black Mist's ignorant consciousness conveyed such emotions to Qingye pitifully.

[Patience. 】

Aono soothed the black mist's emotions.

You've done a good job, but you can do better. 】

These short words seemed to have re-instilled a new source of power into the black mist, and it reinvigorated.

It can also sacrifice everything for its owner, Aono.

"Daoist, are you okay?"

Aono looked at the vacuum Taoist beside him, and his tone showed concern and concern.

At this time, they were shrouded in black fog, and they were climbing upwards at a very fast speed.

And the source of the climbing power is the vacuum man.

"Hehe, don't underestimate Daoist me!"

The Vacuum Daoist sneered, but his tone was not inferior to others.

But in fact, he was now sweating profusely, his lips were abnormally dry, the sweat was constantly secreting and evaporating in the heat, and his pale face made him look like a patient who was not far from death.

Three hundred meters!

At this time, the distance between them and the "sun" will not exceed three hundred meters!

This is not a very long distance horizontally on the ground, and it only takes a dozen seconds for Aono to cross.

But if you put it on the vertical height, this is a length that is difficult to cross.

Turning one's back on gravity from the earth always requires more effort.

Thanks to the so-called "Void Escape Technique" of the Vacuum Dao people, Qingye was able to come to such a high place.

Even Aono has to admit that it is not an exaggeration to describe the retreat of the Vacuum Daoist with words such as "unparalleled in the world" and "the first in the world".

So much so that Aono became a little curious about the past of the Vacuum Daoist.

But now is not the time to be curious.

300 meters also represents another meaning, the temperature here is already very high.

It is a temperature that ordinary people absolutely cannot bear.

Although the "sun" does not have a surface temperature of 5,500 degrees Celsius like the stars in the surface world, it is definitely not much lower as the light source that has illuminated the earth for so long.

Even with the black fog, the temperature is still frighteningly high!

Aono's charred body had not yet been fully repaired, and new burns had been added.

The pink new meat was already fragile, and if I had to say it, Aono's injuries were far more serious than those of the Vacuum Dao people.

The reason why "he" is used to describe "the sun".

The reason is very simple - in fact, the "sun" itself is a god worshiped by the faceless people, that is, the mountain god worshipped by the mountain people.

It's called "Sacrificial Crickets"!

At this distance, Aono can already see the full view of the "sun".

Oh no, what kind of sun is there, it's clearly an ugly, chaotic monster that shouldn't be looked at by mortals!

He takes on the form of a sphere as a whole, which is similar to that of the sun.

However, if you ignore the glow emitted by the extremely high temperature, you can see that the surface of the sphere is a completely terrifying picture.

Faces.

As the name suggests, it is the face of a human being, including the five senses including eyes, nose, mouth, and eyebrows.

Dense clusters of black tadpoles, like those in a dry pond, piled up together and spread across the surface of the sphere.

That level of density would make any [Book Flag] .] A normal person feels unwell.

Each face has a variety of expressions, mostly angry, struggling, and painful, distorted to the point of losing its original appearance.

It's as if the dying man is making his last struggle.

Only a very small number of them are peaceful, chilling, are a few of them enjoying human faces.

With intoxication and happiness, it was as if you had entered heaven.

It was a stark contrast to the frantic, distorted faces around it, about ...... Did they voluntarily become one of the Facelings, rather than being transformed by some kind of coercion?

Among them, Maruyama Kotono's face is among them.

In short, the current Aono can finally understand the reason why the Facelings are Facelings.

Those faces that originally belonged to human beings, even with memories and emotions, were swallowed up by the sacrificial crickets.

[You are looking directly at the ancient god "Sacrificial Cricket"! 】

[You are infected by the ancient breath! 】

Accumulated with white bones, scarlet blood....... Enslaved humans, converted teenagers......

The picture that was once vaguely seen in Takeshi Takaji's memory hit Aono's mind in a more violent and intuitive way at this time.

It's like a heavy mud truck, rampage towards Aono.

His spirit seemed to be being pulled into another strange world.

Countless hands opened their arms to Aono, expressing their welcome and joy, and welcoming Aono's steps into a new world.

But there was a clear warning in my head – 'Don't respond!' ’

Aono opened his eyes again.

The distance of 300 meters has been shortened to about 200 meters.

And the weakness of the Vacuum Daoist is more and more clearly revealed.

The extremely high temperature began to ignite tiny flames on their clothes.

"That's enough, senior."

Aono said.

"Keep at it and you'll die."

"I don't want to die......"

The "truth" who is greedy for life and afraid of death jumped out at this time, and on his dry face, he couldn't even "cry bitterly", and could only show deep regret.

He's scared, he's struggling—that's the psychology of a normal little person.

"Little brother, can you kill him?"

"Really," asked almost pleadingly, weakly.

“...... I can. ”

Aono nodded, categorically.

"That's great."

The eyes of the Vacuum Daoist were calm at the end, like the windless sea.

It is impossible to tell whether he is "true" or "empty", or whether the two have become one and there is no difference.

"Let me give you one last ride."

The title he uses is no longer "Poor Dao" or "Daoye", but simply a "me".

The extraordinary power vibrated in the air and turned into a propulsive force, carrying the bodies of Qingye and the Vacuum Dao people upward.

Two hundred meters.

One hundred meters.

Fifty meters......

The two are like moths to a fire, and they are also like Icarus chasing the sun in Greek mythology.

Flames, burning in their bodies.

The closer they got to the "Sacrificial Crickets", the closer they got to the charcoal, and the flesh and blood of the Vacuum Dao Man were burned out, revealing the skull from the head, then the shoulders, and the chest...... In the end, only a pitch-black skeleton remained, and in the end, even the shape of the skeleton had to be burned in the heat.

But even so, his Void Escape Technique still worked unswervingly.

Eventually, the black mist enveloped the entire sacrificial cricket.

It's like an egg.

The sacrificial cricket is the yolk of the egg, and the black mist is the egg white and the eggshell, revealing only a faint light.

So far.

The ancient world has been plunged into unprecedented darkness.

Black Mist...... Swallow the sun!

No one will notice that a little charred dust is swaying across the sky.
