527 Heart of Chaos
Being on the outside of the atmosphere millions of meters away from the earth, the blue planet shrouded in shadows under his feet has become much smaller, Zhang Luo slowly moved his legs, made a "walking" action that was not actually necessary, and stopped in front of the fragmented "bubble". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Under the gaze of the yellow-clothed king behind him, he slowly raised his right hand and pressed it on Yog, who was on the verge of death. Sotos.
Immediately after, a faint but breathtaking silver light lit up.
The "bubbles" floating in the dark void disappeared without a trace before they even had time to let out a final wail. And that light also disappeared on Zhang Luo's right hand with the demise of the evil god.
"Alright." Zhang Luo used his mind to say to the king in yellow who was floating not far behind him, "That's it." β
Even though he had already said so, the "octopus" in the yellow cloak did not leave directly, but made a cold voice without any emotion:
"He's really gone?"
"That's right." Zhang Luo didn't look back, staring at the endless dark vacuum in the distance.
"Oh......" The king in yellow suddenly floated in front of Zhang Luo, and scanned his body with his eyes flashing cold light under the mask: "Are you lying?" β
"What's in it for me to keep it?" Zhang Luo narrowed his eyes, and looked at the king in yellow without dodging, and a trace of inconspicuous blood faintly oozed from the sleeve of the black windbreaker on his right arm.
At that moment, in the already extremely cold space, the temperature seemed to drop a little, and the temperature close to absolute zero almost froze Zhang Luo's blood. In the terrifying cold, the King of Yellow circles around his body, and thenβ
"Congratulations, Yog. Sototh's power and territory are yours. The evil god disappeared into the darkness in a flash as he spoke, and the breathless wild power finally disappeared.
The confrontation lasted only ten seconds, but in Zhang Luo's feeling, it seemed like ten years had passed, and it was not until he exuded "domain control" outwards and made sure that the king in yellow had really left completely, that he finally breathed a sigh of relief and stared at the silent void around him.
"I'm not wrong, am I?" He said to the wisp of "bubble" hidden in his arms.
"You...... Why? "Yog. There was a hint of surprise in Sototh's voice, apparently not even an all-seeing observer who had ever seen it.
ββWith its near-death state just now, as long as Zhang Luo put his right hand on the mutilated "corpse", he would immediately devour the fragments of its soul. But Zhang Luo didn't do this, but created a silver light to hide people's eyes and ears, and at the same time quietly cut off his right arm under the sleeve, and manipulated the broken right hand to hide the "bubble" into his arms!
Even Yog. Sotos couldn't understand the meaning of Zhang Luo's behavior, after all, even he knew very well that as long as this man killed himself, he could ascend the throne and become a new evil god, with the terrifying ability of omniscience and all-seeing, and create a new era!
But...... The guy didn't do that.
He gave up the opportunity to become a "god" and instead saved the enemy who wanted to kill him.
Even in Yog. Sotos also seems to be a bit unreasonable.
"Let's talk about it later, this place is about to freeze me to death." Zhang Luo said as he opened the portal to the planet below.
Even though he was surrounded by a space shield all the time, the space outside the atmosphere was definitely not suitable for human life. If he continued to stay in this ghost place, even Zhang Luo would be unable to bear it.
After the collapse of the "Shadow Domain", the rainforest, which was originally at a very low temperature, finally returned to its normal appearance, but the shocking hole made by the King in Yellow before, as well as the large wreckage burned by Lucas, are still in place.
The air was filled with the smell of burnt, and Zhang Luo casually asked, "What exactly is in the Shadow Realm?" β
"Those are my 'servants', from all corners of the universe, and many of them, like you, are also doppelgangers of my making." Yog. Sotos replied very quickly, after all, in its current weak state, it could be crushed by Zhang Luo with one hand at any time.
"They're all dead now?" Zhang Luo continued to ask.
"Hasta destroyed my space, and they are indeed gone." Bubbles replied immediately.
"That place is the trap you used to lure explorers, right?" Zhang Luo said his own inference.
"Yes, through the bodies of those stupid creatures, I have regained quite a bit of energy. But it's still far from what it used to be, otherwise it wouldn't have been defeated at the hands of Hasta. "Yog. Sotos's voice was still a little unwilling: "If only I were the same as ...... past"
"Alright, stop blowing it." Zhang Luo impatiently interrupted the other party's words, and stood in front of the pit to observe the scene inside.
He could feel that Yog, who had lost most of his strength at this time. Sotos, who has long lost the terrifying ability to observe everything, is just a "bubble" with no ability to resist. But despite this, this top evil god is still extremely dangerous, and he still can't take it lightly. And more importantly......
"You should have some hidden treasure, right?" Zhang Luo suddenly changed his words.
"Nope." Bubbles is still answering at a blazing fast pace.
"Don't try to lie to me, or I'll kill you right now, absorb your abilities and find them myself." Zhang Luo pouted.
"Yes, right down here."
"Your hexagram change speed is really fast, don't you have any dignity or anything like that?" Zhang Luo sighed helplessly.
"For me, human feelings and standards of judgment simply don't exist." Yog. Sotos's answer was reasonable, so that Zhang Luo couldn't refute it for a while.
However, after learning the location of the treasure vaulted by the Lord of Billions of Radiance, Zhang Luo had no time to refute anything, just carrying the broken bubble, and jumped directly into the unfathomable giant hole without saying a word.
In the process of falling downward, Zhang Luo, whose face was deformed under the action of gravity, did not forget to threaten the "bubbles" on his body: "If I find out that you lied to me, what will happen next, you should know very well, right?" β
This time, Yog. Sothos didn't answer him, but asked again: "Why did you save me?" β
Hearing the other party's question, Zhang Luo smiled: "Maybe it's to rebel against 'order', right?" If I was really created by you, I would have no problem standing in the chaos camp. β
- He did not understand why Azathoth, the leader of the evil gods, suddenly began to maintain the order of "fate". But for him, the world where everything is decided is too boring.
Following a predestined fate, the world that keeps moving may be a good thing for a ruler. But in Zhang Luo's opinion, that kind of thing is completely inconsistent with his aesthetics. And-
"I think it seems to be more rewarding to take the legendary evil god as a servant than to kill the legendary evil god."
Hearing Zhang Luo's confident speech, Yog. Sothos didn't say anything, always feeling that something bad was about to happen......
β¦β¦
Meanwhile, the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak, is still as cloudy and snowy as usual.
Although the world has long been plunged into chaos with the arrival of the "Corrosive Star", this place is like a holy place that has not been affected at all, and it still maintains its original posture unchanged for eternity, majestic and peaceful.
Unlike on weekdays, today there are two visitors standing at the top of the peak, chatting intermittently.
Those were two anomalies that were completely out of tune with the "mountaineer" and looked like they shouldn't have been at the top of the peak. If it weren't for the fact that no one was still in the mood to climb the mountain under the current circumstances, the footage of them being captured by the climbers would certainly make the international news.
"You saw that too, right? What happened above. The white-haired man standing on the left side but with sharp eyes, not at all like a man in a suit who was a dying old man, with a straight waist, raised his head and stared at the deep night sky, and said, "Sooner or later, this world will take pills." β
"When did you learn the proverb of our country, old sir?" The long-haired young man standing on the right hand side of the old man, dressed in a simple cloth shirt, whether it was dressed or spoken and behaved, he revealed an ancient chivalrous demeanor that was incompatible with this era.
"If you really want to count your age, you should be much older than me." Sigmund. Freud looked directly at "Zhou Gong" standing beside him, and he was still very serious about age.
"Hah, it doesn't matter." Zhou Gong didn't continue the topic, but just asked, "Have you made a decision?" β
"Yes, I'm here today to ask for your opinion. Predecessor. As if in revenge, Freud accentuated the word "senior."
Hearing this, Zhou Gong sat on the cliff with his hands behind his back, a shallow smile appeared on the face of the childish young man, and then he shook his head decisively and said, "I still disagree with your opinion." The current world is chaotic enough, and if the 'lock' of the human brain is really unlocked, the order of human society will completely collapse. β
"Now that there have been incidents of humans being slaughtered by heretic creatures, it is better for them to see the truth than to die in vain." Freud's tone was very serious.
"Seeing the truth and being scared to death? You're really going to add fuel to the fire. Zhou Gong smiled.
ββA long time ago, humans could actually see the existence of heretical creatures, which is why all kinds of ghosts and monsters appeared in ancient legends. But one day a thousand years ago, a certain "switch" in the human subconscious suddenly turned off, and since then, gods, demons and ghosts have become complete legends, and few people can still witness them.
Freud has always wanted to flip the switch and let the humans on this planet see the world as it really is. The last time he was stopped by Zhang Luo, he temporarily interrupted the plan.
But now, due to the urgency of the situation, there is no time to continue to think about it slowly.
"Humans have much tougher nerves than you might think, and their endurance and learning abilities are so strong that even if they are frightened at first when they first meet heretical creatures, they will immediately adapt to the situation and find new ways to survive when they recognize reality." Freud expounded his opinion coldly: "Cases of excessive fright and madness are actually very rare among human beings, and most of them are inventions of human beings themselves, unless they see those evil gods......"
"Here's the problem, how can you be sure that there are no evil gods left on Earth?" Zhou Gong interrupted him: "And the current human race, after years of peace, has already weakened a lot, you just look at the impact of the corrosive star, now in South America and southern Africa, there are already many people who are crazy!" β
Although he had made it clear that he was against it, Freud was still stubborn and whispered: "Even if they go crazy, it is because of their excessive vulnerability." If they are not allowed to see the reality of the world, many more will die in the attacks of heretical creatures without even having a chance to resist. β
Speaking of this, the old man tapped the snow under his feet with the cane in his hand: "If you are not willing to cooperate, I will do it myself." β
"Oh? That is, you intend to subdue me by force? The smile on the face of the young man with long black hair suddenly disappeared, he stood up and moved his knuckles, and there was a hint of hostility in his eyes: "Do you want to fight?" β
"I don't want to do anything with you......" In the face of the completely unpredictable Oriental Oneiroi, Freud was about to vomit blood, resisted the urge to beat this kid, and patiently explained: "But you also understand, if you want to save mankind, there is no other way than to turn on that switch!" β
Perhaps in Freud's view, the current situation is indeed the only option, but unfortunately Zhou Gong obviously has a different opinion from him:
"No, I think there's another way." The boy laughed.
"What's the solution?" Freud immediately asked.
The old man had searched for a solution countless times, but he couldn't find a second option other than to let humans see the real world. Hearing Zhou Gong's words at this time, he was also very curious.
"In our China, there is a saying that 'there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain', and we can see the dream of the future of mankind, which can only show that mankind will not perish at this moment, no matter what choice we make, the outcome is already doomed."
The young man lowered his head as he spoke, staring at the ethereal clouds lingering on the peak, and suddenly asked again: "Do you believe in fate?" β
"I just believe in myself." Freud shook his head without hesitation.
"Ha, I think it's better for you to read a few books about fate." The young man stood on tiptoe and patted the old man on the shoulder: "Sometimes psychology alone can't solve everything, you will know later, young man." β
After finishing speaking, Zhou Gong's figure suddenly disappeared into the snow, as if it had never appeared, leaving no trace.
After he left, Floyd didn't say anything, just quietly clenched his fists.
