Chapter 438: The Winner's Smile
To be precise, it's not that it disappeared, but that the act of stealing was so fast that it made [Ciri's Hat] seem to disappear out of thin air.
With a thud, Thom's heart plunged into the bottomless depths, growing colder and more desperate.
The kind of speed that even a god-level warrior of Thom's level can't keep up with with the naked eye, and there is only one existence in this world that can do it - there has been silence for a long time, almost making people forget his existence, the god of thieves Musk.
As Maiske always does, interrupting others at the moment when they are about to achieve the final victory or achieve a complete result can suddenly plunge from the clouds of luck into a painful hell.
The gap caused by that great contrast is more uncomfortable than an ordinary surprise attack.
"Mai-S-K-" Thom roared and smashed out of the dimensional anchor, trying to enclose the space to slightly prevent Maisk's direct return, while wielding his artifact sword [Duty Restraint], kicked his legs, and caught up with the figure who was about to flee like a cannonball.
Thom is furious! Really angry!
Tyr and Yilmat escort the all-important Shirek and give him the slightly minor task of retrieving the Cirihat. He screwed up.
Betrayed the trust of the boss and the kindness of Raven.
Just imagining how they would react made Thom go berserk with rage.
He's not the kind of god with high speed and agility, but a warrior-type god can still accelerate for a short time. Completely ignoring the not short distance of nearly a hundred meters, Thom's transcendent divine ability exploded, like a thunderbolt, instantly pulling the distance between each other.
Maiske was taken aback slightly, his agile body rapidly changing positions in the air, and twelve shadow clones formed at the same time.
These clones all inherited all of Maisk's combat experience, and they flickered and fluttered in mid-air, forming an encirclement network in an instant. Twelve replicas of the Secret Whisperer, identical to the artifact sword held by Musk, stabbed at Thom's vital point in unison.
Thom swung his [Restraint of Duty] backhand upward, like a radiant sun suddenly lit up in the dark dungeon, without even the crisp sound of sword blades, and Maxke's shadow clone was all knocked away and disappeared, turning into nothingness again.
But Maske's attack was far from over. There were twelve phantom clones in a row, and this time there was a continuous sword strike of "dang, dang, dang", and occasionally those who broke through Thom's sword circle were easily carried down by Thom's divine power armor.
"Maiske! Hand over the scourge of the Divine Domain of the [Ciri Hat]! Thom shouted.
"Just you?"
"And us!" Through the back door that Thom had left for himself in the spatial barrier, the avatars of Tyr and Yilmat emerged from the void at about the same time.
However, Maiske laughed.
What he was waiting for was the gathering of the three gods of justice.
Huo Ran raised his hand, and a battle flag that exuded strange dim gray fluctuations fluttered in the underground hall.
There is no glimmer of light on the gray flag, not only is there no light, but it absorbs the light around it; It was like night falling. The shadows created by the moonlight on things merge with the shadows of the night itself, fading away from the light.
There was no light, but the three gods of justice could see every fine line on the evil circle that flashed from the obsidian wall.
【Blasphemous Words】
【Countering Kindness】
【Counter Order】
That vomit-inducing aura of evil easily reminds the trio of justice of the filthy bottomless abyss. The forces of good begin to be consumed by the aura of chaos and evil.
The reason why Tyr and they did not dare to attack Santalim Fort easily was because of this, the ubiquitous mystery locks and various prohibitions in the dungeon were enough to weaken Tyr's power to a terrifying level.
It's called home field advantage!
The space changed suddenly, and countless spatial threads bounced off the ground.
Although they could still see Maske in front of them, they both knew that they were no longer in the same plane.
Because Ciric, who is the master, is no longer there. The God of Thieves used his own way to activate the forbidden traps in the dungeon.
Even if he is as strong as Tyr, he can't get out of this trap for a moment.
"Maiske! Ciri Hat is not something you can control! He'll devour you! Thom shouted.
"You know what?" Musk looked at Thom indifferently, "You guys with muscles in your heads. I didn't realize the value of the [Ciri Hat] at all. With it, it is not a dream for me to regain my divine power, and even to advance to medium divine power. ”
Mind control or brainwashing artifacts have not appeared many times in the history of Ultron, but all of them have caused great panic and destruction.
For example, the [Dead Moon Orb], the king of warlocks, Larocle, used it to run rampant for an era. But even the Dead Moon Orb doesn't have the power of the Ciri Hat.
It's like the [Ciri Hat], a terrifying artifact that can unleash the power of high-level artifacts and control powerful gods in a snowball situation, what will happen if it falls into the hands of Mess in the neutral evil camp. The three gods of justice are unimaginable.
It is actually understandable that he would rather openly confront the three gods of justice who were not sworn enemies in the first place, and take the risk of taking away the [Ciri Hat].
Musk is also a bitter man, he has been miserable enough by Raven. From the first time Raven used Tinos to play a quiz game, directly pulling the four goddesses to collectively pit Mesk. The god of thieves began to run out of luck, and later broke his leg and the Shadow Origin.
Borrowing Ciric's artifact in an attempt to turn the tables is not an uncommon idea.
He worked hard to expand his priesthood, broaden the sources of the power of faith, and seek to restore his divine power and avoid the fate of being held back by Raven.
Now that he finally got it, how could he not be ecstatic.
"Bye-bye, dear Tyr, when I'm done, when I'm in a good mood, I might consider giving it to a god you don't like. Like Bane or something. ”
"You-" The three gods of justice were aggrieved at the same time.
Bane! The god of tyranny with great divine powers! What I like most is to stir up strife and conquer everything. Bane's greatest goal is to bring the entire main plane under his dark rule.
Now Bane is strong enough, if the Ciri hat really falls into Bane's hands, the consequences are really unimaginable!
At this moment, anyone can see the anger and helplessness of the three gods of justice.
But they could only watch as Musk broke through Thom's temporary spatial barrier and prepared to open a portal that would allow his avatar to take Ciri's hat away in just two more seconds.
At the same moment, Raven, who returned to Phantom Knight City, held Karin, who was crying incessantly, with his left hand, and touched Lyla's little head with red eyes with his right hand.
"It's okay, it's okay, won't I just come back?"
While comforting the two girls, Shanny suddenly frowned: "What happened to the three of them?" Suddenly flashed? ”
A mysterious smile appeared on Raven's lips, and his smile was seen by all the gods present.
Anyone can see that it is the smile of the victor.
Many powerful gods were stunned at the same time, and Tampas, Sunny, Ogma, and Mistyla almost all had the same feeling—who did Raven cheat?
The instincts of the powerful gods were astonishing, and they instinctively felt that this was the smile of a chess player who had a chance to win.
The struggle between the gods is like a game of chess.
Each deity has a different approach.
If Mistyla, the goddess of the magic net, is a chess player, then every move of her is verified with the most precision, like the passage of time, accurate to every minute and every second, and every node.
It's a mechanical, perfect art.
Raven is different, Raven plays chess more atmospherically, it is a super chess game with heaven and earth as a chessboard and gods as chess pieces.
The left hand plays with the thread of fate, and the right hand uses an invisible layout to push the chess pieces of both the enemy and the enemy at the same time.
No matter how the pieces in the chess game rushed left and right, trying to break through, but in the end they fell into Raven's calculations.
For example......
Raven spoke thoughtlessly: "Retreat the opponent from the cloud of happiness that is about to win into the hell of despair, this hand, I will too!" ”
As if to confirm Raven's words, at the same moment, the original unresponsive, like a Ciri hat that had lost its spirituality and divine power, suddenly burst out with a burst of evil aura.
The righteous trio and Mess are stupid.
"No- I want you, but not now...... No......," the god of thieves yelled in despair, but he found that his body was uncontrollable, and he raised Ciri's hat with both hands and slowly put it on his head.
This is the case with the Ciri Hat, if the holder has no desires, or is determined enough, or has a strange hatred for the hat, then its allure in the ordinary state is mostly demigod-level.
But when the bearer has a definite desire for it in his heart, whether it is a desire for knowledge, a love of beauty, or some evil purpose, then the difficulty of passing the will test of the Ciri hat will increase exponentially.
This is the pit that Raven has buried.
Slightly modified, the Ciri Hat is only used against the gods of the evil faction.
"No, no, no—" In the confusion of the three gods of justice, in the desperate wails of Meske, Mesk finally put on the hat on which he had high hopes.
In the next moment, Musk walked through the portal.
But instead of going back to his kingdom, he went to Phantom Knight City.
At this moment, Leila and them were like a great enemy.
Tampas rushed at the storm, slashing it almost with an axe.
Who knows......
Wearing Ciric's hat, Mesco did the same thing as Ciric not long ago.
He knelt down on one knee, bowed his head, and raised his arms high: "Lord Raven - please accept my priesthood-"
That emotional off-the-beaten-thrust made Tampas, who had experienced countless battles, almost fall to the ground in the street.
Over there, the system prompt is also here.
"Mesk, the god of thieves who considers himself your servant, wants to transfer his priesthood to you unconditionally: Shadow, Steal, Wanderer!"
"Mesk, the god of thieves who considers himself your servant, wants to transfer to you unconditionally the realm of divine power: [Darkness], [Evil], [Lucky]!"
"Warning, warning! Maiske's [Lucky] Divine Power Field triggers, and the Lying Divine Power in Ciri's Hat will be depleted in five seconds, so please quickly decide to accept the transferred item ......" (To be continued.) )
