Chapter 18: The Back Door
Lilith and Terry looked at each other and smiled, "According to our plan, it will be the best time to wait another month or so, but now it seems that you may not be able to wait that long!" That's it, if you shoot now, the success rate is more than seventy percent! β
With that, Terry stood up and hugged Lilith, and then, like plasticine figures, the two began to merge, and slowly, finally turned into a grim man in a black robe and a cloak.
"Let's go!" As he spoke, the man flicked his sleeves and took Xie Wen's soul into it, and then the whole person turned into an illusory ghost, penetrated the wall, flew out of the ark, surfaced, and crossed a distance of thousands of kilometers in a blink of an eye, and came to the sky above a small island.
Not far in front of him was the Holy Lord who had just killed Duan Shansong. At this time, he had withdrawn from the form of a dinosaur face and changed back to the appearance of a human.
Seeing the visitor, the Holy Lord turned around: "Teacher? Aren't you lurking in the ark? How did you get here? β
The man in black laughed and said, "Because there is no need to lurk now!" You have defeated Duan Shansong, and there is no one in this world who can stop you! β
The Holy Lord shook his head: "No, there is one more person...... I could feel that just now, the world seemed to be a little different, and something that could threaten me suddenly appeared! β
The man in black nodded: "Is that really the case...... Can you feel him, how powerful is he? Can you defeat him? β
The Holy Lord shook his head: "I can't estimate it yet, I only know that it is very powerful, more powerful than Duan Shansong." And this ...... Existence, although it is the first time I have seen it, for some reason, there is a feeling of dΓ©jΓ vu! β
The man in black sighed: "He is the doom of your fate, with your current strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with!" β
"Then I'm willing to give it a try...... Holy Lord clenched his fists: "An opponent who is even stronger than Duan Shan Song is too much to look forward to!" β
The man in black frowned slightly, Holy Lord, Holy Lord, although your strength is strong, your heart is still too poor, if you continue like this, it will be difficult to achieve great things!
Thinking of this, the man in black took a step forward: "Holy Lord, since you are about to face the final enemy, I will also teach you one last lesson, after completing this step, you can truly realize your potential and become the absolute strongest!" β
The Holy Lord raised his eyebrows curiously: "The last lesson?" β
Before he could react, the man in black had already come to him, raised his hand and put it on the Holy Lord's forehead, and Xie Wen's soul flew out of the cuff, turning into a puff of smoke and burrowing into the Holy Lord's body along the seven orifices!
The Holy Lord froze.
The man in black let go of his hand and watched from the sidelines, and after about ten seconds, he asked impatiently, "Aren't you okay?" β
The Holy Lord turned his head and smiled slightly, "Teacher, are you asking me?" Or do you ask this? As he spoke, he opened his mouth and spat out a silver bead. The man in black was taken aback: "This is a soul bead?" Xie Wen's soul bead? You refined his soul into a soul orb? β
The Holy Lord smiled, "Teacher, I have always respected you! When I was born, you taught me the knowledge and the way to fight. Later, when the plan began to be implemented, it was you who traveled around the world with your kaleidoscopic abilities to help me eliminate one resistance group after another. I have always trusted you so much that I trust this guy you arranged to come to me, and I trust it unconditionally! β
As he spoke, the Holy Lord picked up Xie Wen's soul bead: "But trust, it doesn't mean stupid!" β
"When I was three months old, I realized a strange thing, there seemed to be a strange back door in my spiritual sea. Although I don't know the specific reason, I conclude that as long as a certain wavelength is reached and certain conditions are met, my spirit will be easily invaded...... To put it simply, although I am physically and mentally powerful, as long as I know the password, I will be easily taken away! β
The face of the man in black began to turn ugly, and the Holy Lord continued: "I was very strange at the time, but I never mentioned this matter to anyone, and I just secretly tried to fix this weakness! Oh, and remember, there was a time when I was obsessed with the practice of magic and psychic powers? The reason I gave you at that time was that after appreciating the power of Duan Shansong, I needed to know more about the spiritual aspect, and in fact, my real purpose was to close this back door! The Holy Lord tapped his head.
"At about seven months old, I succeeded, and then I started investigating the source of this backdoor! I consulted Our Lady for this and even spied on her memories, but she didn't know anything about it. It wasn't until later that my spiritual power became stronger and stronger, and I read a special spiritual band from a man, which was completely consistent with the band of the back door at the beginning! β
"He's Xie Wen!" The Holy Lord threw up the soul bead in his hand, "At this moment, I realized that I was designed to be used by Xie Wen to take it away!" β
"So the question is, who would do such a thing?" The Holy Lord caught the soul bead and turned his head to stare at the man in black: "No, it should be said, who has the ability to do such a thing!" The only possible answer is that you who planned my birth all the way and arranged Xie Wen to be by my side, teacher! No, it should be said that the founder of the Brotherhood of Salvation, Mr. Lord of the End! β
The man in black, known as the Lord of the End, sighed, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I never expected that after so many years of calculation, I couldn't even control the monster I raised......
The Holy Lord frowned slightly, he saw the decline of the Lord of the End, but he didn't feel the despair of the failed plan from him!
"Thankfully, though, I read that right!" The Lord of the End smiled gloomily: "You are still too naΓ―ve and too heroic after all!" If it was Xie Wen, he would definitely end my life as soon as possible, and you actually left me time to breathe! β
Before he could finish speaking, the Lord of the End clasped his hands together, and a boundless darkness spread out from behind him, instantly enveloping him and the Holy Lord together!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"What? You're going to the sea? β
In the medical room of the ark, Chen Fei, who had just recovered his spirits, sat on the hospital bed, looking at his teammates in front of him, as well as Zhou Yu, who heard the news of Duan Shansong's death and came to understand the situation.
"That's right, I have to go to the sea, I want to confirm one thing!"
"What's the matter?" Zhou Yu asked.
Chen Fei took a deep breath: "The moment I just touched the painting halberd, in addition to the two rays of light from the Holy Lord and Duan Shansong, I also saw another light!" In the West, because it is too far away, it is not very real, and it seems to be obscured by the strong light of the Holy Lord. But I'm sure it's definitely comparable to the Holy Lord...... A light that even transcends! β
Zhou Yu's eyes rolled: "In your eyes, the strength of the light is directly proportional to the strength of the strength, that is to say, ......"
Chen Fei nodded: "The hope you have been insisting on may not be psychological comfort!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The battle has entered a white-hot stage, and the battlefield of the Brotherhood's fleet and the champions of the Hate Island has expanded to a small half of the South Pacific, and in the center of this huge battlefield, the Hate Island has been shaking again and again under the bombardment of many masters, and the protective shield has begun to flicker, obviously the energy has been insufficient. The ordinary people and low-level adventurers in the underground bomb shelter prayed for victory in fear while feeling the vibration coming from the ground.
At this time, in the central square, several white lights lit up, and ten champion-level adventurers showed their figures, and as soon as they appeared, they were startled by the huge bombardment sound coming from overhead!
"I heard that there was a fight, but I didn't expect it to be so lively!" Shangguan copied out two daggers, and an excited smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It just so happens that I haven't fought enough in the mission world, and I still haven't used up my strength!" β
"Be honest with me!" The Persian cat stopped Shangguan and turned back to the others and ordered: "Silver Moon, remote support for the champion level above; Poison Island, which uses the power of wind and thunder to attack enemy ships; Gnostic, the creation of God to harass; Bright eyes, use space doors to assist in long-range attack positioning...... As for those who are good at melee combat, protect this island! With that, the Persian Cat summoned an army of Ice Knights and scattered them throughout the island to assist the veteran and elite defenses.
Mingyan and Ye Fengyu glanced at each other, turned their heads and complained to the Persian cat: "We are not your team members!" β
The Persian cat smiled slightly: "The war that has been fought for three years is finally coming to an end, all we need to do is hold on and wait, you won't want to drop the chain at this time, right?" β
"Forget it, your captain is back, and I don't have the same knowledge as you!" Mingyan sighed, opened the space door, Ye Fengyu shot a flying sword into the door, far in the sky, a space door opened, the flying sword shot out, and a small battle airship was caught off guard and was cut off by a sword and blown up. The flying sword turned around, drilled back into the space gate, and returned to Ye Fengyu's hand.
The battle on this side of Hate Island is becoming more and more fierce, and on the other side of the world, in the palace of the Alkades family, a gorgeous room that has been heavily guarded and not approached by idlers has come to an uninvited guest.
This room is the abode of the Virgin, and as the name suggests, it is inhabited by the Mother of the Holy Lord, the key figure of the Holy Son Project, who was enshrined by the Cross Order as the most treasured, the only adventurer with the gift of fertility, Ophelia of the Holy City.
Theoretically speaking, after giving birth to the Holy Lord, Ophelia has lost the meaning of existence, and it is not impossible for the Brotherhood to directly abandon a woman with such mediocre strength as her. But the Holy Lord himself seems to be very influenced by human ethics and morality, and has great respect for his biological mother. Therefore, Ophelia received more special treatment in the brotherhood.
