Chapter 712: Puzzle solving
At the moment, Add only felt that all this was incredible, but if he didn't open a door to time and space, how could he explain all this?
This heinous trap set by the Shadowless Man may be traced back directly to the time when Cerberus boarded the Voyage, when he set up a trap and spent several standard years planning and implementing the conspiracy step by step, while completely keeping himself and his team in the dark.
He pretended to be stupid, just to design the travel team to go to Arthurgard, in order to open the door of the evil time and space, the Shadowless Man killed all his travel companions, and in order to awaken him, he even designed to lend his own hand to seriously injure Arthur.
Eddie's mind had a flash of inspiration, and he had put all the details together into a complete puzzle, and he hated himself at this time, and he hated the Shadowless Man even more, for him to use trickery to play everyone around, and for himself to finally fulfill the other party's long-planned plan to make this cunning murderer disappear into the past.
But who was the last to sail away? Add still couldn't understand this, he couldn't believe that there was any other life on Orth at that time except for the team members, and from the situation at the time, it was clearly the breath of the dead.
Insidious design, eerie game, and the shadowless man has carefully laid a shocking net, and he uncovers one of them, and perhaps more of a mystery within a mystery.
But what could he do about that damn fanatic if he really went back in time and restarted that damn war, even changing the set outcome?
At this time, Eddie suddenly felt a kind of powerlessness, he could hardly accept the facts he had just deduced, he couldn't imagine that in this endless river of time, the object of his revenge had fled to the unattainable past, and now even if he had the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, how could he go back to the river and slash the enemy?
The wind was still strong, the snow was still ongoing, and the huge ring above the head was slowly turning.
In front of Eddie, Xiaofeng Tianyi looked sluggish, drooping her eyelids, and looked tired. The long-term miserable and lonely life in a foreign land has made him no longer his former self, and the lack of the so-called concept of time has caused him to sometimes fall into his own world, and sometimes return to reality.
Eddie couldn't think about the betrayer's death, so he had to temporarily suppress the anger and disappointment in his heart, and instead face the survivor of the old battle in front of him, at this time he still had many doubts to explain, so he raised his finger and volleyed the Kander who seemed to be about to fall into a deep sleep.
"You just mentioned the prophecy, the end of the demon king and the world, and I have had a similar experience with this......" He carefully pondered what the other party had just said, trying to find new clues in it, but he was surprised to find that the Kander in front of him had his eyes closed and his lips moved slightly, as if he was babbling something.
"Kurusodamus, that's where it all came from......" Xiaofeng Tianyi suddenly opened his eyes and muttered, his wrinkled face trembling slightly, his eyes no longer pupils, and a pair of terrifying upward turned whites of his eyes seemed to be 'staring' at Eddie all the time.
"I used to be just a carefree Kander boy with a beautiful traveling ship that I rode with my four companions to the stars." Xiaofeng Tianyi said dreamily. "Following in the footsteps of our ancestors, we have witnessed one amazing miracle after another...... Until one day, Kurusodamus led us here......"
"Ancient vanished civilizations, unimaginable ruins, they have completely hollowed out a mountain to build such glorious palaces, and those lifelike statues seem to tell us about the past...... You can't resist that, can you? No Kander can resist either! ”
So you opened the first statue...... So I saw that prophecy ......," Eddie chimed in.
Prophecy ...... Omen...... Beelzebub...... Destroy ......," Xiaofeng Tianyi laughed when she heard this. "That's just a despicable lie, a continuation of a conspiracy!"
"Lies?" Eddie's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked puzzled, but Xiaofeng Tianyi, who was falling into his illusion, ignored him at all.
"The devil set in our hearts has lured us into the trap step by step to complete the so-called 'salvation'!" He yelled in front of him.
"You mean Kurusodamus, they're related to the Ascenders?" Add asked again, out of the confusion he had been thinking about for a long time.
"Yes, an ancient curse, isn't it? A curse, yes, a curse! Xiaofeng Tianyi seemed to be answering him, and it seemed that he was still talking to himself, at this time he was dancing with his hands, his expression was extremely excited, and he seemed to be extremely emotionally unstable, from the panic of the first meeting, to the confusion after that, and now he suddenly fell into complete madness.
"The return of the Demon King, the destruction of the world, a prophecy about the future, isn't it? No, no, that's obviously fake! They're watching, they're calling, they're constantly twisting our minds, aren't they? No, no, so it's bound to be a curse! He rolled his eyes and shook his head desperately, as if he were recounting something, as if he were muttering to himself.
"That's just fate, the fate of the Kanders, no, no, it's not fate, it's a tool! They are the ones who turn us into a tool! I would like to warn the Supreme Council not to fall for their tricks......"
"Those shadowless people, why did they choose to betray? Are they the minions of the prophesied demon king? Yes, it must be, that damn Shadow Man, he refused the Speaker's suggestion to get rid of us, he must have made some kind of deal with the Demon King! At this time, Xiaofeng Tianyi's eyes were split, and his face, which still looked like a human child, was extremely distorted, and he trembled.
"No, maybe they're right...... Maybe...... In order to defeat the Demon King, you need to destroy its tools first......" He began to look terrified, looking terrified.
"I didn't expect to come back alive, Madam Speaker, and your father's death was not my fault...... That's not my choice...... The brutal truth...... Hundreds of millions of years of layout, I am just a humble little person, how can I choose, how can I choose? His eyes were fixed on the air, and his hands trembled in mid-air, as if he were saying forgiveness and repentance.
He couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion at all, and the intense emotions made him more and more crazy, and they were devouring what little of his mind was left. This forced Eddie to intervene, and with a flick of his finger, the kanders in a state of collapse immediately fell in response.
He then gave instructions to his ship, only to see a golden teleportation light cast from the sky, completely enveloping the fainting Xiaofeng Tianyi, and as the light and shadow dissipated, he had sent the world's forgotten Kander onto the spaceship.
Lies and falsehoods, summons and tools? Add was further puzzled by Celestial's seemingly nonsensical description, considering the prophecy of the ruins in Heimdall three years ago, and although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it sounded different from what the Khandians had found here.
Burying his dead companions, building an unparalleled spaceship, and following Lilac's last words, Add came to investigate the Shadowless Man's schemes.
Now that he has met the old man of the war on the planet Sphinx and told him about the unknown events of the 'War of Betrayal', as the truth is revealed, and while the true purpose of the betrayer only makes him angry, he discovers that everything is not as simple as he thought.
He only felt that the road in front of him was more blurry than when he came, but he could clearly feel that something seemed to be hidden in the fog.
Ancient prophecies, unexpected awakenings, mysterious summonings, all come from the guidance of Kurusodamus, and if everything that happened to him is a game set up by those ancient ascenders hundreds of millions of years ago, he is just a pawn that has been chosen to move towards a predetermined destiny step by step for a purpose that has not yet been understood.
Or maybe the prophecy about the Demon King was just another illusion of this, as Arthur had said when he complained about it, they set up traps and dug pits, and used the ruins to wait for the hapless Kanders to enter the hub.
And once they get this message out, who can be sure that it will prevent the catastrophe from happening, and perhaps it will be the fuse that will destroy the whole world.
But why the Kande? Why is it that only male travelers are guided by Kurusodamus to discover the ruins of ancient civilizations?
And among them, what he wants to know the most is: why did thousands of former or current Vestal men choose themselves again?
Eddie's heart was full of questions, and the strong curiosity in his nature did not weaken because of his own awakening, but made him want to find out the truth as soon as possible. He now understood that the only possible place to get all this explanation might be hidden behind the two unopened statues in the ruins mountain.
