Chapter 22: The Proverbs of the Seraphim
When the key noticed something was wrong, he suddenly stepped on the empty space, but fortunately he had slowed down and did not fall forward.
Once he had steadied himself and stood still, he could feel some creature beneath the interrupted path in the darkness directly ahead. It wasn't human, it was some kind of gigantic monster. The air in front of me had risen in temperature, and there was a strange smell, and if you listened closely, you could even faintly hear the creature's breathing.
"Another human...... There was a voice that sounded, and at that volume, it seemed like an oversized creature speaking in human language.
The Divine Key didn't know if the other party was talking to him, and even if he did, listening to the other party's tone, it didn't seem to be human at all.
"What's your name? The voice asked.
Judging from the echo, the god key should have a large space in front of him, the top was still closed, at least a hundred meters deep, and the creature that was talking was crouching at the bottom.
He didn't know if he should answer or not, but if he thought about it, where else could there be humans here but himself?
The Divine Key thought for a moment and replied, "We humans generally report our own names before asking each other for their names. β
"Clearly humble creatures, but so arrogant, always hoping that other individuals will show humility to themselves, so as to experience nothingness...... Dignity. The voice replied, "But you're much more polite than the last human to come here, so let me tell you, my name...... Seraphim. β
"Are you also the creature in the Garden of Eden?" asked the Key.
"Garden of Eden?" Seraphim hesitated for a few seconds, "Huh...... Human, you were sent here from the Hanging Gardens, right? Let me think about it...... A ...... that can open a rift in space Except for the cherubim. It's Yang Jian. β
"That three-eyed is really called Yang Jian?" said the Divine Key.
"We didn't have names, but the cherubim gave us and he said that in the Fifth Kingdom, we were seen as characters of myth and legend. We've been given names, and people have made up a lot of our stories to convey something they want to say. Seraphim paused and asked, "So...... Human, back to the question, what should I call you? β
"Call me the Divine Key. He replied, thinking to himself: Why did the Seraphim call human society the Fifth Kingdom, and what were the first four kingdoms?
"Hmm...... It's not like a common human name. Is this some kind of title?"
"Leave it at that. The key said, "It doesn't matter what you name, what matters is who you are." β
"Well said, God Key. So who are you?" "Why are you in the Hanging Garden, and why did Yang Jian send you to me?"
"Why don't you ask your friend yourself?" asked the Key.
"Because, of course...... This is my cage, and I can't get out. Seraphim said.
"What? is a cage?" the key thought it was wrong, and the cage meant ...... There is no exit.
"What? What do you think it is?"
"I thought it was a labyrinth or something. The Divine Key simply sat down cross-legged and told the truth, hearing the other party say that he was imprisoned here. He realized that the giant creature in the darkness had no ill will, and might even want to escape as much as he did.
"That's right, there are labyrinths, countless labyrinths. One to the other, and where you are standing now. It's the exit of one of them. Seraphim said: "Humans, go back to the roots. It's a creature that comes out of the ocean, so you come up the path of 'blue sΓ¨' and come to me. β
"Your cage is the end of the labyrinth, so can I think there is no way out here?" asked the Divine Key.
"Of course I have, but I can't afford to get out. Seraphim replied, "The cherubim have set a curse to keep me in captivity forever." β
"Is the cherubim of whom you speak of not your companion...... Or rather...... Is it the same kind?" said the Divine Key.
"He and I both have the ability to watch over the earth from the 'garden'. The Seraphim replied: "A hundred years after I hid myself in the Hanging Gardens, the cherubim imprisoned me here. He said that I was becoming chΓ©ng rΓ©n, that my language and way of thinking were polluted because I had seen too much and was too obsessed. β
"So you're here...... This can lead to life imprisonment......" the key reads.
"After being imprisoned, I was still able to come into contact with creatures of other races, who came from various universes and for various reasons, entered the rift of time and space. Most of them are intelligent life, with occasional less evolved organisms. The place I am in is like the bottom of a funnel, where the ends of countless tributaries converge, and of course, not all creatures can get out of the labyrinth and come to me. "You're lucky to be here, and if you explore in the other direction, you're likely to get lost in an almost endless space," said the seraph. β
Hearing this, the Divine Key always felt panicked, and he cleared his throat: "That...... Or is it just that you can't go out, so can I?"
"Wait a minute, I've answered a lot of your questions, but you didn't answer my previous question, why did Yang Jian send you here?"
The Key was about to blurt out the truth to the other party, but then he realized a problem, since Seraphim said that many creatures had been here, and he had originally said that "you are much more polite than the last human who came here", then ...... Where are those creatures now? In the darkness, there was no sign of life except for the seraph.
As soon as he thought of this, the god key felt numb in his back, could this monster be ready to chat first to relieve boredom, and then open his mouth to eat people, right?
"I want to ...... Yang Jian wants you to kill me. "The Divine Key has stood up and entered the battle state of the jΗng ring.
"Interesting...... There is a reaction of some kind of energy in your body. Seraphim felt the change in the divine key: "Do you want to fight me?"
"It depends on your attitude. The Divine Key replied coldly.
"I don't want to hurt you, human. If you have anything to do with your fellow citizens...... In your human words...... During the holidays, you can go to them to solve it, it has nothing to do with me. Seraphim replied.
"Then can I ask before I got out of the labyrinth. What happened to the creatures that managed to get here?" said the Divine Key.
"All dead. Seraphim replied.
The Divine Key said in his heart: Sure enough......
Unexpectedly, Seraphim continued: "Unfortunately, from a biological point of view, they are too fragile, and most of them need some kind of energy to live, in the case of you humans, the energy you need is air, water, and food. In my case, I only need air to survive. Outside of the atmosphere, the body will not be destroyed by its own internal pressure like humans, but breathing should not stop for too long. β
"So...... Are they all starving?" asked the Key.
"Mostly, some of them died of poisoning because they didn't adapt to the oxygen in the air. I had to dispose of their bodies. Because ten of them will have the phenomenon of **. Seraphim replied, "Over the years, of all the biological clocks that have come here, there is only one, which I have killed with my own hands...... It's the human who came here before you. β
"What?" the heart of the Divine Key came up again, "Why did you kill him?"
"He seems to have gone mad when he came out of where you were standing. I tried to verbally communicate with him, but he kept yelling and attacking me. Seraphim replied, "His energy ...... Much stronger than you, he even threatened ...... Well. It should be said that it seriously threatened my life, and I could only fight back. He thought for a few seconds and then said, "I only vaguely remember." In his frenzied language, his name is mentioned - Javidon Howl. β
As soon as this statement came out. The Key was impotent, so it's fun! It turns out that the thing was kicked into the void over Hell Island, and it ended up here? And you killed it?
"I want to ...... We should solve the problem rationally and peacefully. The Divine Key's tone immediately softened: "Hmm...... Since you don't have any problem with why I'm here, and you're not Yang Jian's executioner, can you tell me how to get out?"
Seraphim was silent for a moment before replying, "Actually, I would like to ask you to tell me a little more about what has happened in the Fifth Kingdom over the years, after all, the earth was also my homeland, and I am quite curious about humans. β
"Not counting how much I can tell you before I starve to death...... The point is that I'm in a hurry right now, and there are companions waiting for me outside. The Divine Key replied.
"Well, I respect your life, and I respect your will. Seraphim replied, "And you're the only one who, apart from the madman, has the means to escape from here." β
Divine Key was glad that Javidon's mind was not quite normal, and if that thing sat down and had a good word with Seraphim, wouldn't it be possible to kill him back?
Then the seraphim said, "Watch your eyes, the Divine Key. β
As soon as the words fell, a strong light suddenly burst out in front of his eyes, he stayed in the dark for a long time, and he would definitely not be able to stand it at this time, but in the moment before closing his eyes, the key vaguely saw the scene in front of him: it was a very huge hollow cylindrical space, around this space, there were countless passages of exits, of different sizes, densely packed like a beehive, and the one he was in was just one of the extremely inconspicuous exits.
And at the bottom of the column, there stood a giant that radiated a strong light, and since the seraphim himself was a source of light at the moment, it was impossible to see his appearance, and the key only caught a glimpse of six giant wings, spread high, and the feathers on them were also glowing.
"My hands can barely get through the cracks, but my body can't. Seraphim replied, "I will send you back into the chasm, but you will have to open the gate on the other side yourself, and you will know how."
When you go back, it can't be as easy as when you came, Yang Jian's golden light is not around you, you have to rely on your own energy to protect your body from being torn apart. And also...... If you see a cherubim, bring him a message for me......"
............
When the Divine Key was chatting with Seraphim, Yang Jian didn't catch up with Tianyi, because the dark water was not as easy to settle as he imagined.
It is said that after Yang Jian picked out the dark water, he turned around and left, and at this time he instinctively wanted to throw out the dark water strung on the three-pointed two-edged halberd. Unexpectedly, after Darkwater's chest cavity was penetrated, he only paused there for a few seconds. He slid down the opponent's weapon on his own, as if you had picked up a pudding with a bamboo skewer and in a few seconds, the pudding would fall down wrapped in a bamboo skewer.
Darkwater didn't have any expression on his face. The body does not bleed, only black water, and there will be no obvious convulsions or reactions such as crying pain, so when he is picked on the halberd, it is completely impossible to tell whether he is dead or alive.
Yang Jian just saw him frozen there, and thought that the battle was settled. Who would have thought that this kind of injury is actually painless for Dark Water. He took advantage of the situation and climbed onto Yang Jian's wrist holding the halberd.
"It seems that you didn't go extinct with your own kind for a reason. Yang Jian instantly stretched out his left hand and accurately grabbed Dark Water's head. "As far as I know, your body will be incapacitated after a severe injury, and it will take a long time for it to heal itself. He grabbed Darkwater's head and slowly lifted it up. Dark Water's body had to move with his head, so it became a glue-like state and broke away from Yang Jian's right wrist.
"But look at your ......" When Yang Jian spoke, Dark Water's body had already returned to its original human form. Moreover, one of his forearms turned into the shape of a sickle and probed into Yang Jian's left palm. Push the hand holding his head outward.
"The speed of self-healing is so amazing, and it can quickly turn the body into various weapons. Yang Jian continued what he had just said: "But the head should still be a weak point." He slammed his left hand into a squeeze. Popped the head of the dark water.
The headless black sè's body fell vertically and fell to the ground.
It took a long time for Darkwater to regain his head when he was attacked by a gunsmith in the ruins, and during this time, he was incapacitated.
Yang Jian didn't know this, but he looked at the body on the ground that was no longer moving, and the neck that was slowly recovering, and roughly guessed so.
However, today's dark water is no longer what it used to be, and his strength is unimaginable after devouring many humans and experiencing many battles......
Whether it's the Fourth Kingdom or the Second Kingdom, everyone is not human. Perhaps the creatures of the Second Kingdom are born with the same level of fighting ability as the Demon God, but the potential of this outlier who survived in the Dark Water Clan is endless.
When Darkwater gained human knowledge, experience, and other memories, those events that contradicted the concept of the supremacy of Darkwater Clan's logic gradually changed his consciousness. Humanity is a warlike race, always has been, and always will be. When this talent collides with the mind of the Dark Water Clan, it creates an ultimate warrior who becomes more and more brave and stronger the more he fights.
"You guessed wrong. Darkwater's voice rang out.
Yang Jian had just turned around to leave, when he heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head in surprise again, he found that Dark Water was standing there unharmed, his head had naturally healed, otherwise he couldn't speak, and the green light in his eyes had also changed, turning into a red light.
"I have no weaknesses. Darkwater continued, "But you have. β
"It seems that I won't be able to get out of it without completely destroying you. Yang Jian said, shook up the three-pointed two-edged halberd, covered the halberd body with a burst of qi, and swept out with a blow, this blow didn't have to chase Tianyi's move much slower.
Although it is impossible for Dark Water to get out of the opponent's attack range with ease like Tianyi, the speed of retreating beyond the tip of the halberd, Dark Water still has it.
The entity that avoided the three-pointed two-edged halberd had to receive the invisible force that rushed through. If a person with a strong ability is touched by this power, he will definitely feel as if he has been hit by a sledgehammer in his chest, and his eyes will be full of gold stars and he will vomit blood. But dark water is not afraid, his body can be liquefied, and the impact of the disembodied body can be easily conducted and scattered.
Yang Jian missed a move, and he didn't hesitate. Lean forward and attack. The three-pointed and two-edged halberd in his hand is also made of net alloy, and the reasons will be shown later. At this moment, this heavy, solid, and extremely sharp giant long weapon is even more powerful in the hands of this giant, which is several times taller than a human being. Chopping, slashing, hitting, stabbing, locking, shoveling, Yang Jian jumped and danced, moving and sweeping, the moves can be described as changeable, agile, and the volume does not affect the agility of his skills at all.
What is a master, a master is able to use extremely strong moves to make embroidery needles, and can also use light and treacherous moves to play Xuanhua board axe.
Dark Water saw the move, there was no gap, and all of Yang Jian's attacks were flashed, if you count the weapons, arm span, stride length and other factors, his speed seems to be overwhelming Yang Jian.
After this temptation, if the true Erlang Zhenjun is here, I am afraid that he will have to be a little angry, but this Yang Jian is just a three-eyed giant in the second kingdom, and it has nothing to do with myths and stories, in the end, he is just an intelligent creature thousands of years ago, he is the same as dark water, he will not be angry, and he loses his cool because of anger in battle, and he can't even imagine it.
Since the attack is fruitless, it's very simple, just do some more force.
But seeing that Yang Jian shook his blade and stabbed several halberds in a row, the speed sped up a few points, and the three-pointed two-edged halberd turned into a Dao Phantom, and this sudden acceleration of the offensive made the dark sailors scramble and couldn't help but retreat. Yang Jian continued to stab, bullying himself, forcing the dark water to retreat dozens of meters.
Dark Water fell into passivity, and before he could make changes to deal with it, he didn't expect Yang Jian to stop suddenly. At this moment, the dark water has not disappeared, and the distance between it and it has been opened more than ten meters in an instant.
The third eye on his forehead was another golden light, and this distance was the best intersection area of the light diffusion and shè, and the dark water could be said to be unavoidable. Seeing that he was about to be transported into the void like the Divine Key...... (To be continued.) )
