"So you're going to let me into this ugly thing? that's what you promised me?!"

"Seber Hawke, do you want to die?"

The phoenix's screams echoed back and forth in Cyber's spirit, making his head start to hurt, and he had to find a way to comfort the phoenix, who was already a little violent.

"Tanya Tivan, that guy told me that if you want to get a body of your own, you can only do this, and you can feel the life in it, and it is large enough to withstand your terrible spirit. ”

Cyber opened his eyes and looked at the dark green cocoon stored in the two-tall glass case in front of him, which looked ugly and abnormal, and there were strange horns and scales on the surface, which was enough to make anyone who saw it feel unreliable, but the problem was that the collector was not lying, and in Cyber's eyes, the life inside this thing could be simply terrifying.

If you can find a way to lure it out, it will be enough to turn a hundred barren planets into a new world of lush vegetation in an instant.

After the phoenix was noisy, she gradually calmed down, she could see at a glance how extraordinary this big cocoon was, to be honest, she also wanted to experience what it was like to have her own body, but the problem was...

"This thing is ugly..."

"Ugly, not a problem!"

Cyber babbled like a magic stick: "Look, it's like an egg, it doesn't look unique, but once the egg hatches, the chicks born are also very cute, this just says a cycle of life, you see, the most beautiful life like you, from such a ..."

Cyber looked at the big cocoon, he pursed his lips, and said very disobediently:

"Well, what I mean anyway is, as long as you shine enough to shine when you come out of the cocoon, who cares where you come from? And as long as you have your own body and burn this thing, no one knows... I'm sure I'm not going to talk nonsense, I swear!"

"You liken me to a chicken?"

Phoenix scolded hatefully: "It seems that you have been very inflated lately, Cyber... After I regained my life, I felt compelled to teach you what true respect is... Give me the pieces now!"

"Huh?"

Cyber paused for a moment: "You decided to want it?"

"Nonsense!"

A white flame floated out of Cyber's heart, at this moment Cyber suddenly felt a strange emptiness, as if something belonging to him had been taken away, the feeling was very strange, but it was also fleeting, he looked at the white flame suspended in front of him, he shrugged his shoulders, took out the 7 pieces he currently owned from the sandalwood fan, and threw them into the blazing white flames.

The flames sparked violently, and she suspended in the air, hesitated for a moment, and then plunged headlong into the dark green cocoon, not even destroying the glass shell.

"Well, that's how it feels... It's quirky. ”

The phoenix's voice rang in Cyber's ears in another way: "I've never experienced it, it's like completing some kind of sacred ritual..."

Her voice was abruptly low, and after a few minutes of silence, she whispered:

"It's probably going to be a new journey... Thank you, Cyber, for giving my life a whole new choice... Maybe I should say thank you..."

"Goodbye, Cyber, I'm going to sleep..."

Cyber stood outside the huge glass frame, he looked at the large cocoon that had begun to beat slowly again, his fingers resting on the glass, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered

"Sleep, my friend, when you wake up, it will be a new world waiting for you to discover. ”

He stretched out his hand and put the large cocoon that was giving birth to a new life into the sandalwood fan along with the surrounding glass cabinets, the phoenix's dormancy time this time would not be too long, but it would definitely not be too short, the phoenix in this state lacked the ability to protect itself, he had to shoulder this responsibility.

Whether it is Phoenix's previous help to him, or the reconciliation between the two in the end, he must fulfill this obligation.

This is his criterion for being a man, his last insistence.

He strolled up to the upper level of the ship that soared among the stars, and in the porthole, the galaxies on either side of the ship retreated rapidly, and it was clear that the ship was moving at breakneck speed.

And beyond the endless stars, a black hole hanging above the black curtain is so conspicuous, and there is a unique planet that is very close to the black hole, but will not be swallowed, Saka star... It's here.

"You're fast..."

As Cyber stepped into the unique palace of the High Heavenly Venerable, the voice of the Universe Elder who loved gambling sounded in his ears, he was still wearing the blue robe he had before, and the unique white oil paint on his chin still looked a little strange, but it looked like he had just returned from a long journey, with a somewhat dusty color.

"I got the news from Tivan and rushed here without stopping. ”

Compared to the collector with a quirky personality, Gao Tianzun, who is always in a good mood and always has a smile, gives people a much better feeling, of course, provided that you can make him notice you, and at this point, the nascent King of Fighters is obviously the hottest new star in Gao Tianzun's hands.

"I heard you have something for me?"

Cyber asked bluntly, Gao Tianzun nodded, and threw out a strange thing, Cyber took it in his hand, and the place where he started was extremely heavy, and the moment it came into contact with the skin, the thing enveloped Cyber's hand with a layer of black light curtain, and the skin on his fingers became old and shriveled at an unimaginable speed, and finally fell off, and even the flesh and blood were swallowed by a strange energy, and in the blink of an eye, his left hand turned into a snow-white skeletal claw.

The next moment, the flesh on the claw quickly recovered, and the dark blue god-killing fire wrapped around the surface of the finger, forcing the black light curtain back against the cold gadget.

Cyber picked it up and put it in front of his eyes, and where he saw it was a simple ring with an inverted triangle and five black lines of different lengths, and on both sides of the ring, extended the ring body carved with fine skeletons and death, delicate like a handicraft, and its own simplicity also symbolized that this thing has at least experienced tens of millions of years of reincarnation in time.

The black power wrapped around the ring, it was a kind of solid-like smoke, clinging to the surface of the ring, and when Cyber looked over, he could see a tattered black robe, holding a scythe, the image of the Grim Reaper floating on the surface of the ring, obviously, this thing represented the power of death.

"This is..."

Cyber raised his head and looked at Gao Tianzun, who sat on his couch, poured him a glass of wine, and as he drank it, he said:

"Here's what I promised you, Black Lantern Ring... It took me a lot of effort to get it out of the Dead Realm, but you haven't gotten it approved yet, so once it's snatched up, you probably won't be able to get it back, and I'm not going to help you find it a second time!"

He held his glass and looked at Cyber:

"I fulfilled my terms, Cyber, and it's up to you next time. ”

"Yes"

Cyber silently put the black light ring into a special box, threw it into his fan, he played with the fan, sat next to Gao Tianzun, he looked at the leisurely cosmic elder, and couldn't help but ask:

"What is the origin of that Barbatos, and what are you gambling on?"

"He's, he's a terrible guy. ”

Gao Tianzun frowned and snapped his fingers.

"Buzz"

A realistic projection appeared before Cyber's eyes, above which was a barren scorched earth, the whole world was shrouded in the darkest light, and the ground was full of skeletons of all races, looking like an ocean of death.

And a guy wearing a gray-black hood with crossed hands stood on top of the skeleton, his back like a demon-like tattered bat wings spread out, like a terrifying sculpture, he looked gloomily at the sky, and the whole person exuded an ominous and obscure smell.

"He was born in the same age as us, but the difference is that we were born in the real world, while Barbatos is the chosen ruler of the dark multiverse. ”

Gao Tianzun said in a very concise way:

"The dark multiverse, as you can understand, is like the reverse side of the real multiverse, the two sides of a coin, which cannot be cut and cannot exist alone. ”

"You mean, dimensions?"

Cyber asked, but saw Gao Tianzun shake his head:

"No, that concept is more obscure than dimensions, so obscure that you can't understand the form of existence in the dark multiverse if you don't give birth to a special thinking organ, but you don't really need to understand this, in short, Barbatos and we are naturally opposites, but when the multiverse is threatened, we will join forces again... Of course, this has hardly ever happened, and until the dissolution of the Cosmic Elders, Barbatos' faction and us were still in serious opposition. ”

"The contradictions between us are inherent, and they cannot be resolved by means of war, because once the dark plurality and the reality plurality collide, both sides will be wiped out in an instant, so although we hate each other, we can only determine the direction of hatred in other ways. ”

Gao Tianzun took a sip of the wine in his hand:

"Like gambling..."

"Our gamble has been going on for a long, long time, and the bet is something that mortals can't understand, every victory of Barbatos will make a part of the quality of the diversity of the present world flow into the dark diversity, although it will not destroy the balance of the two forces, but if one is lost, the diversity of the present world will in turn become a vassal of how far away the darkness..."

The Elder of the Universe shrugged:

"You don't need to know how bad it is, it's a horrible thing anyway, and the worst thing is that Barbatos is a very shrewd gambler, he wins more and loses less, so we're at a disadvantage in this confrontation. ”

"Uh, having said so much... What the hell is the gamble?"

Cyber couldn't help but ask, Gao Tianzun glared at him, as if he was disgusted with Cyber's lack of patience, but soon, he also worriedly turned the topic to this aspect:

"There are a lot of bets, sometimes it's shielding lucky dice, sometimes it's the armies of two galaxies colliding, and one time, we even made a bet on the real past of Swallowing Stars, and that bet was forcibly aborted by the Tribunal of Life, and this time..."

Gao Tianzun's gaze fell on Cyber:

"It's a gladiator! A person chooses a gladiator, no matter the method, no matter the style, even if the gladiator who is still standing at the end of the battle wins, it is considered the simpler of all the bets, but the problem is that Barbatos is very good at cultivating gladiators, and I didn't have much confidence in the face of his mysterious gladiator, until you appeared..."

"Who is his gladiator?"

Cyber asked, and Gao Tianzun shook his head:

"I don't know, no one knows, we only see him at the beginning of the real gladiatorial fight, but with Barbatos's style, I guess he already knows about your existence, it can't be helped... His life rank is higher than mine, and there are many things that I can't hide if I want to, but under the watchful eye of the Life Court... He's not very good at doing bad things. ”

"Anyway, after that, be careful. ”

Gao Tianzun stood up and patted Cyber on the shoulder:

"Stay connected at all times... By the way, don't touch the ring until you get the exact symbol of death, I don't want to see my gladiator become a fanatic worshipper of death, that feels terrible!"

"And if I have to give you a suggestion. ”

Gao Tianzun poured himself a glass of wine again, and while drinking, he said: "Go and collect the other five light rings first, and bring the black light ring at the moment when the white light appears, so that it is estimated that your soul can truly control the power of the light ring to fuse together, but it is not easy to say the ending, because from the birth of the light ring to the present, no one has been able to collect the 9 light rings." ”

He raised the glass in his hand towards Cyber:

"May you be the first!"
