Act One Hundred and Six. The Thorn King
Bai Ge didn't know if this was the first time humans and the Scourges had worked together, but Raphlanzer did let him stall here, waiting for everything to be ready.
During the time that Speaker Randolph and Bai Ge were talking, Laflanzer had quietly influenced the fate flow of the surrounding area, tampering with it into a situation that was favorable to Bai Ge, and at this time, it finally took effect.
The Shepherd of the Great Library is in the form of tampering with reality, magnifying the probability of something that is almost impossible to happen in a row, as long as the probability is not zero, then it will definitely appear.
This is what Zhu Xia said that no book is written without coincidence, and it is the so-called inevitability of fate in epics and stories.
Since the Scourge itself is only a fully activated Abyss Relic, not an Ascender, its ability is usually only a projection of a certain side of the historical fragment, such as Rafflanzer, who can only use this one's ability.
It's just that this ability to tamper with reality is extremely high, and even demigods are difficult to circumvent.
Speaker Randolph wanted to take a step back and avoid the torrent of fate that had turned into substance, but he was blocked by a shelf that shouldn't exist here, and he could only watch the golden light come within reach.
"I declare that reality will not waver."
Speaker Randolph hurriedly spoke, and at the same time, countless illusory and magnificent marble pillars emerged around him.
γThe Great Square of the Godsγ!
Without hesitation, Speaker Randolph unfolded his own field as a way to counteract the effects of the natural disaster.
He was well aware that The Shepherd of the Great Library didn't look as destructive as Hamel's Pied Piper or Apocalypse, but it affected the deeper real world, and it might start out as innocuous coincidences, but later on, when the influence was fully unleashed, it might become a not-so-rosy story for Randolph.
Not only will walking be hindered, but even the operation of internal organs will have some accidents with a probability of almost zero, even ordinary walking will make the intestines knotted, breathe in all the trace harmful substances in the air when breathing, and cause blockage of blood vessels when the heart beats.
In epics and stories, even famous generals will die of a cold and cough, even a king on an expedition to a foreign land may be killed by a wild boar, all kinds of coincidences continue to superimpose, evolve, and eventually, the entire area will become a stage for drama, and on the stage, everything is possible, even if it is a god, it will be killed by mortals.
For the ascended person, the [Shepherd of the Great Library] is an extremely dangerous abyss relic, and there is no way to contain it at all, no matter what means are used to contain it, this activated one will create all kinds of accidents and coincidences to escape, therefore, the [Shepherd of the Great Library] will be named a natural disaster.
Decades ago, when the Shepherd of the Great Library was first observed, an unwitting demigod stepped into its realm and eventually died without a struggle, killing at least three digits of the Ascended Shepherd before it could be fully understood.
After that, the shepherd of the Great Library disappeared, only occasionally mentioned in some unknown eyewitness rumors, and even MI5, the related agency of the Pan-Western Sea, where it appeared, did not know the exact location of this natural disaster.
Bai Ge could also feel that the ability of [Shepherd of the Great Library] to manipulate coincidences was very amazing, so much so that Ralflanzer had stayed at the top of the White Tower Tower of the Library of Alexandria for so many years, and MI5 had not been aware of it, probably because the information that could be transmitted had been delayed by various accidents.
In an instant, the central system of the Library of Alexandria ceased to exist, and only the grand city square and the blue sky were reflected.
Beside Bai Ge, the streamer turned into the appearance of a barefoot girl, she was wearing pink pajamas and a cute nighthat, and the place where she stood was not a desolate stone, but a new green meadow, which seemed to be the result of the abyssal relics themselves eroding this realm.
"I'll tell you beforehand, I'm not good at fighting."
Ralphlanzer glanced at Bai Ge and raised his right hand.
Between the white and slender fingers, the golden words turned into a rainbow and headed towards Speaker Randolph.
Although Speaker Randolph had already used the [Declaration of Reform to Overthrow the Old System] to stabilize reality, Laflanzer himself was able to create coincidences and loopholes to find a breakthrough in them, so Speaker Randolph's first declaration was suppressed.
Judging from what Kluwa said, Speaker Randolph's declaration was not unlimited, and in the case of the unfolding of the demigod realm, the declaration was able to support the seven.
At the same time, due to the influence of historical fragments, Speaker Randolph's declaration can only overturn the things and rules that already exist, and cannot create things out of thin air.
"I declare that fate cannot be tampered with!"
Speaker Randolph spoke directly, and his loud voice tried to negate the power of Rafflanzer at its roots.
But there were only a slight ripples in the space, and then it returned to calm.
It is clear that in the midst of the confrontation, Speaker Randolph did not succeed.
But the sound of horses' hooves followed, and the [Eternal Immortal Expeditionary Legion] raised sand and obscured the sky.
The spear, which had no less destructive power than a missile, was thrown in the direction of Bai Ge, but only because of Raflanzer's casual glance, there was a deviation that could not have been missed, and they collided with each other, losing their destructive power.
Swords buzzed, and cavalry formed an array and charged.
"Why are you standing still?"
Raflanzer Jade's eyes looked at Bai Ge, asked, and then waved his hand lightly, and those cavalrymen fell off their horses because of the occasional confusion of their horses, and the offensive of the charge was instantly dissolved.
"Lord Ravlanzer, in a demigod-level duel like yours, I'm afraid I can only be cannon fodder with a little [Hero's Certificate]..."
Bai Ge is still very self-aware, and his duty is to make Speaker Randolph expand the realm and separate himself from the Library of Alexandria.
"Wouldn't you have something else?"
Rafflanzer gave Bai Ge a blank look, and then took a few steps forward, and under her feet, new green grass grew with her steps, emerging from the cracks in the marble floor.
Bai Ge didn't continue to complain, because this was something he and Kluwa had discussed before.
When Ravlanzer uses his power to contain Speaker Randolph, Bai Ge will assassinate him.
This is not a temptation in a dream, but a real assassination.
Ideally, Bai Ge could use [White Rainbow Sun] to completely wipe out the path to Speaker Randolph's promotion, and eliminate the motive for this incident without killing him, of course, Cluwa also mentioned that it is almost impossible.
There will only be two outcomes of this incident, Bai Ge dies, and [Shepherd of the Great Library] becomes the historical fragment material used for Speaker Randolph's promotion, or Speaker Randolph is killed by Bai Ge.
After talking with Speaker Randolph, Bai Ge felt that this man had left no way out for himself, and if he failed, even if he could survive, he would become a wanted criminal in various countries and even in the Panxi Sea because of his crimes against humanity, just like the group of people in the Order yesterday.
"However, this is really a complete [historical reproduction]."
Bai Ge sighed, the invisible dagger in his hand appeared, and his figure flashed, spanning a distance of dozens of meters, and came to Speaker Randolph's side.
Countless shields appeared from the illusion, blocking Bai Ge's direction.
"I declare that the sneak attack will fail."
This was the declaration that Speaker Randolph had used when facing Bai Ge before, and the result was also obvious, Bai Ge's attack from the shadows was almost completely ineffective, and he could only attack head-on.
Although this also sealed Speaker Randolph's own sneak attack, for him, it was enough to use thousands of troops to directly crush it head-on.
"I declare that there is nothing to hide!"
Speaker Randolph declared again, sealing Bai Ge's [Shadow Jump] ability.
At the same time, a golden spear appeared in his hand and flew towards Bai Ge.
Bai Ge didn't hesitate, the dagger in his hand flew out, and then a [Disappearing Magic] reversed positions, and a huge explosion erupted in the next moment.
Immediately after, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Bai Ge saw a group of cavalry rushing towards him, the spears in their hands were sharp, and the iron hooves were enough to penetrate the strongest armor.
But these cavalry were quickly disorganized for inexplicable reasons, and they fell in front of Bai Ge.
It was Rafflanzer who tampered with their fate.
"I declare that the transfer cannot be realized."
The fifth declaration appeared, and Bai Ge felt that the world around him had become difficult and sluggish, and he knew that the method of using [Vanishing Magic] to move quickly was obviously sealed.
However, this was also expected by Bai Ge, and the same move would definitely not be able to take effect on Speaker Randolph a second time.
Rather, it was these declarations that gave Bai Ge a deeper understanding of the scope of Speaker Randolph's abilities.
He could have forbidden the use of sharp weapons to make Bai Ge lose his core combat ability, but Speaker Randolph didn't, because this would make the spears and swords in his legion unusable as well.
In other words, there are offensive methods that Speaker Randolph can also take, he won't prohibit it too much, and it is obvious that Speaker Randolph does not have such fast-moving means as Bai Ge's [Shadow Jump] and [Disappearing Magic], and he does not have the appropriate means to defend against it, so he directly denies it.
Bai Ge lost his quick transfer technique, but he still used [Assassin Vision] to capture the flaws of the legionnaires and cut through the cracks in the defenses.
He came to Speaker Randolph.
Behind Bai Ge, the soldiers were stopped due to various coincidences and accidents, and they failed to come in time to protect Speaker Randolph.
Bai Ge's dagger flipped in his hand, and he didn't choose the blind spot of Speaker Randolph's consciousness, because Bai Ge knew that the attack launched from there would be recognized as a sneak attack and failed, so Bai Ge chose a head-to-head duel.
"Why do you think the hero archetype is called a hero?"
Speaker Randolph was unhurried and stretched out his hand towards Bai Ge.
Click-
The phantom of the armor appeared on his hand, directly capturing the invisible blade in the white singer, as if he could clearly see the invisible dagger.
In terms of combat skills, the ascender of the hero archetype is far stronger than the shadow archetype of Bai Ge.
Between the grand city squares, Speaker Randolph's sword flickered.
Bai Ge decisively let go of the dagger in his hand, and he was able to dodge the sword slash, and after that, with a flick of his wrist, the invisible dagger appeared in his hand again.
Speaker Randolph was not surprised by this, but picked up the long sword in his hand and approached Bai Ge at an unstoppable speed.
In front of the relatively longer weapon, Bai Ge could only use his dexterity to dodge and counterattack from time to time, but in the field of hand-to-hand combat, it was impossible for Bai Ge to defeat a demigod of the hero prototype.
In the distance, Speaker Randolph's legion collapsed under the influence of Ravranzer's ability, and the blonde girl, who reached her ankles, whispered as if she was reciting some psalm, and walked all the way towards Bai Ge and Speaker Randolph, the grass under her feet spread out, and the white flowers dotted her, and beyond that, the soldiers slaughtered, but the blood did not drip on the grass.
Speaker Randolph pushed his shield and pushed Bai Ge away, and then, with a flash of the long sword in his hand, he was about to hit Bai Ge.
But at this time, Bai Ge turned his body directly and turned his back to Speaker Randolph.
In this case, Speaker Randolph's attack turned into a sneak attack from behind Bai Ge!
And in this square, under the declaration of Speaker Randolph, the sneak attack will not succeed.
Smack-
The long sword missed Bai Ge and fell to the ground, smashing out a huge hole, and sand and dirt splattered.
Speaker Randolph raised his eyebrows, probably not expecting Bai Ge to use his declaration in this way, he immediately took a step forward, came to the front of Bai Ge, and stabbed out the long sword in his hand.
Bai Ge slightly deflected the edge of the long sword with an invisible dagger, and at the same time took half a step back, and between his left hand, a playing card flew out.
Even though he can't use these cards to perform Vanishing Magic, he can still use them to disrupt Speaker Randolph!
Whoosh β
Several cards flew out in an arc, some flying from behind and falling towards Speaker Randolph, while others flew towards his eyes from the front and were dodged by Speaker Randolph.
He seemed to feel that Bai Ge was still using this little trick at this time, and the illusory armor on his body made a metallic collision sound and crashed into Bai Ge.
Bang β
Bai Ge didn't seem to be able to dodge, and was hit by this huge force, and the whole person flew backwards.
Speaker Randolph took advantage of the victory to pursue, and for a moment, there seemed to be a pale mist around him, and some kind of boom screamed.
Shield Strike!
Bai Ge blocked the blow with an invisible dagger, and due to the influence of Rafflanzer, he was not directly shattered by this shockwave, and only took a few steps back.
On his face, the black flames formed a radial mask, and Bai Ge barely paused, leaning down and burrowing into the side and back of Speaker Randolph.
He seems to have lost all his senses, and even forgot that the sneak attack had no effect.
The invisible dagger shook the space and headed towards Speaker Randolph.
Speaker Randolph did not turn around, but reversed the long sword in his hand and headed towards Bai Ge.
Flutter β
The blade pierced through the body, and crimson blood flew in the grand square.
