Chapter 20: The Demons of the Universe
Kashni's home planet, above the ruins of creation.
The sky floated with a gray color, like the dust of industrialization, or the smoke of gunpowder from the battlefield. The vast ground was dark brown, dry and hard, as if it had been burned by a great deal of heat, and there were traces of vitrification everywhere.
It's a lifeless subspace, with no sun, no water, no animals, and no hint of plant green.
The entire subspace is divided into two parts, the upper part is shrouded in 'waste dust', reflecting a pale dead gray, and the lower part is immersed in darkness, when the light hits about 100 meters close to the ground, it will be swallowed and isolated by some force, leaving only the backwater-like darkness to envelop everything.
In the depths of darkness, a vast palace stands silently in the wasteland.
There was silence all around, except for the occasional dry windβthe icy silhouette of the vast palace sinking into darkness was the most intense in the darkness.
In the depths of the palace, there was no sound at all, and the entire building was completely cut off from the outside world, except for the faint light of the gems set in the walls and dome. The gems are distributed in a regular pattern, forming a large, symmetrical lattice network that illuminates the hall with an eerie and dead silence.
Suddenly, a glowing firefly quietly flew through the corridor and into the hall, flying along the lattice network of the walls, and finally, a plain white hand with ornate finger cuffs caught the falling firefly.
β......β
Looking at the firefly in his hand, Herder narrowed his eyes and smiled in his eyes.
After a brief moment of silence, she reached out her other hand, her flawless, slender fingers lightly touching the firefly, and the corners of her mouth raised into a smile.
"The virus was successfully launched, and the ocean planet suffered heavy losses?"
"He did a very good job. β
"The maker must be in a state of flux right now, right? But it's just beginning, and the plague is just a snack before the killing feast. β
As her words fell, the fireflies turned into a puff of green smoke and dissipated into the darkness, while the Second Apostle turned around, her eyes revealing fiery battle intent and deep killing intent;
In the endless darkness, the sound of heavy breathing gradually came out.
Immediately after, a slightly dazzling figure shrouded in golden light quickly emerged.
She has a perfectly proportioned female silhouette, clad in streamlined bright gold armor and wears a dark gold mystical mask, flanked by bat-wing decorations, and above her helmet, a pair of horn-like lightning bolt-shaped emblems extend.
The edges of the armor are sharp and formidable, resembling blade-like bone spurs, and the slender and tall body is faintly transparent, showing a texture between metal and stone.
On either side of the skirt, a pair of thin wing-shaped pale golden blades of light spread downward, looking mysterious and elegantβrevealing an extremely aggressive sharpness, as if the slightest touch would cut your body, and the slightest glance would pierce your eyeballs.
Demon of Light, Ogri.
As soon as she appeared, she dispelled the darkness in the space, and the eerie and dead aura disappeared, revealing a sense of grace and luxury.
"Herder, we've waited long enough. β
She hovered in front of the Second Apostle, bowed her head, and an arrogant voice came from under the mask: "I hope that this time, you can fulfill your promise." β
"You have to thank me for keeping my promises, otherwise the cosmic demon would have ceased to exist long ago. β
Held's back to the demon of light, stretched out his hand to block the strong light reflected on the lattice network, and narrowed his eyes in disgust, ":
"But you, I exiled Antoun to the forbidden space to get rid of it by your hands. As a result, it did not suffer any damage, and merged with Bakar and the others to form the Far Eastern Alliance. That's what you gave me? It looks like the cosmic demons are capable of that......"
"The plan to destroy Antun is still in the works, no one knows that it will suddenly leave the forbidden space, and this matter has nothing to do with us. β
Looking at the back of the Second Apostle, the voice of the Light Demon Ogri gradually became cold, and the cold light in his eyes was like the sharp teeth of a shark:
"Besides, once our clan is alive, it will be suppressed by you in all directions. Under such circumstances, how dare Lord Rosh go all out? You gave us a test paper that we could not complete, and we could only reward you with a blank paper. β
"Again, you have a hard time after all. β
Held's eyes flickered, and suddenly he changed his words, rubbing his chin with his slender white fingers:
"Then now, I'll give you an answer sheet that can be completed - go to the Far Eastern Star Field, go to the territory of the Far Eastern Alliance, and open the Chrono Vortex there......! In this process, the Kashni Federation will cooperate with your actions. β
Speaking of this, she suddenly restrained her smile, and her voice without any emotion seemed to be a hellish judgment: "Once the Far Eastern Alliance collapses and disintegrates, the soul of the entire Far Eastern Star Domain will belong to your cosmic demons. β
"Demons crave the soul of man as man craves money...... Humans will die because of greed for money, and demons will die because of greed for souls. The Demon of Light raised his head and looked down on the Second Apostle proudly:
"No matter how much we desire souls, our people will not be stupid enough to oppose multiple apostles at the same time. Herder, do you want to use our people as cannon fodder to deplete the strength of the Far Eastern Alliance?"
"Looks like the negotiation failed?"
Herder's voice froze, and he suddenly turned around, staring at the demon of light with dark golden eyes.
At this moment, the light in the hall quickly faded, and darkness covered the space again.
The strong light radiating from the light demon Ogri's body was suppressed only a thin inch at the moment, causing her momentum to quickly weaken, and her body suspended in mid-air also staggered to the ground. The center of gravity was unstable, and he almost fell to the ground, and when he looked at the second apostle again, the eyes of the demon of light were already full of fear.
"Looks like I'm expecting too much from you......"
Herder sighed, walked up to Ogri, and raised her chin with his index finger:
"In that case, let's cut the difficulty a little bit for you. Tell Rosh for me, I don't care about the other apostles, but the Maker, he must die! Kill the Maker, and I will give you a billion human souls...... At the same time, no matter how many souls you harvest in the Far Eastern Star Field, I will make the Kashni Federation pretend not to see it. β
β......β
Looking at the evil gaze of the Second Apostle, the Demon of Light actually felt a wave of fear from the bottom of his heart, as if the other party was the real demon compared to himself. Reluctantly suppressing the fear in her heart, she took a step back, avoided the other party's index finger, and responded coldly:
"Maker, I don't remember this apostle. β
"yes, that guy wasn't an apostle yet, and he was already so tricky...... If you become an apostle, it will become even more troublesome. β
Seeing the other party's embarrassed posture of avoiding him, Herder lowered his left hand with satisfaction, and said in a solemn tone: "So I want you to get rid of him cleanly before he becomes more troublesome!"
"Since you are so jealous of the maker, then we also need to know about him before we can give an answer. The Demon of Light replied calmly.
"No need to research, I'll tell you directly. β
As he spoke, Heard gently waved the MONOCULUS scepter in his hand, pointing at the wall to the right.
Whooshββ!
A beam of light shot out from Wand's eye and struck the walls of the lattice network, causing the walls to glow like a ripple of water. In the flowing halo, Evan's image was quickly presented, and the frontal shot, side shot, and data analysis map were quickly arranged.
"As allies, I hope that you will not underestimate this man, so as not to suffer unnecessary losses. β
Herder turned to the side to stare at the wall, pointed to Evan's frontal photo, and said in an extremely serious tone:
"This guy has mixed martial arts that he inherited from Ives' masters. And he trained it to the level of surpassing the master of Yves, and practiced it to an unprecedented cosmic power. On this basis, he also has the ability to transform mechanical life and give inorganic matter activity. It can be said that whether it is the strength of a single body or the mechanical corps under your command, you cosmic demons can be put into a bitter battle. β
"The power of the universe? is what Casillas called ...... That kind of super explosiveness?"
Gazing carefully at Ivan's image, the Light Demon's eyes gradually became solemn: "If that's all he wants, he's just an immortal, far from the point where he would put us in a bitter battle. But he can make you feel jealous...... In other words, on top of this, the maker has stronger means?"
"Exactly!"
Heard waved his hand and swept towards the wall, and the wall suddenly appeared with Evan casting the Infinity Spell and sealing the Boronx Star with both hands:
"On the basis of possessing the power of the universe, he also holds the infinite curse of the Menes civilization! The highest secret of the infinite curse is to condense the power of the curse and release the indestructible body of the curse, and its explosive power is even slightly better than that of the apostle! The power of the universe plus the body of the curse...... He has become an adversary that I cannot easily defeat, and the only one who can resist the power of the apostles with an immortal body. β
β......β
Looking at the figure with his hands covered with the planet, the momentum was like a prison, and the demon of light couldn't help but take a half step back, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
In addition to his own strength, the glove on his left hand ...... I don't need to introduce this, you cosmic demons like to collect artifact treasures the most, and you shouldn't be unfamiliar with it. With the words of the Second Apostle, the image on the wall gradually zoomed in, and quickly moved to the right, magnifying Ivan's left hand several times.
Looking at the armored glove with a pure golden surface and composed of undulating armor pieces like dragon scales, the demon of light Ogri suddenly raised his head and subconsciously blurted out: "The Gauntlet of Judgment! That's the Gauntlet of Judgment! The ultimate weapon of the Aesir civilization, specially developed to fight against the Apostles...... A gauntlet of adjudication that grants the wielder infinite power!"
"Worthy of the cosmic demon ......"
Seeing the greed between her words, the corners of Held's mouth curled slightly.
"I didn't expect the Judgment Glove to be in his hand...... Lord Rosh would be very happy if he knew!"
The Demon of Light stared at the image of the Gauntlet of Judgment, his gaze seemed to be stuck with it, and he couldn't move half a point: "Such a treasure is only worthy of the Cosmic Demon Clan...... Anyone who holds it but us is a desecration of the treasure. β
"So, you've agreed to my terms?" asked Herder as he walked up behind Ogri and looked at the Judgment Glove with her, smiling.
"Yes, I promise you on behalf of Lord Rosh!"
The Demon of Light nodded, then reluctantly withdrew his gaze, and asked the Second Apostle behind him with a sideways face: "But in the process of destroying the Maker, the Kashny Federation must help us share the pressure of the Far Eastern Alliance, otherwise...... It's hard for us to be a threat to him. β
"Of course. β
"The premise of all plans is that you must eliminate the quantum shielding device that has forbidden space so that our people can leave the Northern Star Domain. In addition, our people need a landing site to open the Chrono Vortex. This location cannot be within the range of the Far Eastern Alliance, lest they can detect the anomaly in the first place, and they must not be too far away from the Far Eastern Alliance...... Prevent the Chrono Vortex from covering the Far Eastern Star Field. β
"I will personally go and remove the ban. β
Heard happily closed his head, and then after a little thought, he sold Elstar, one of the three dogs of the Federation: "As for the landing site...... The landing site could be set up on El Star, and I'll take care of everything in advance. β
"In that case, we will be very happy to work together. β
The Demon of Light took a deep look at Ivan one last time, remembering his appearance, and his figure immediately disintegrated into countless blurry particles of light, which gradually dissipated like smoke.
With Ogri's departure, the palace returned to darkness and gloom, and the light and shadow on the walls faded.
In the dark space, only the eyes of the Second Apostle shone brightly, exuding a bewitching light, and the viscous darkness was like a giant python, slowly revolving around her body, and after a moment of silence, a cold voice slowly echoed:
"The killing drama is about to start again...... I'm really looking forward to it. β
"How long can you survive in the face of the challenge of the demons of the universe? After all, that Rosh, before the birth of the apostle, was known as the father of the universe. β
"Even if you can win the Cosmic Demon, after the attrition of the continuous battle, will you still be able to resist my transfer magic?"
At this, Herder let out a sneer, and waved his hand to open the door to the ruins of creation, and the graceful figure stepped into the ruins, quickly drowning in the fluorescence of the crystals, and the crunch of the heels hitting the ground faded away, and finally disappeared completely......
