Gilgamesh stopped his rapid progress, and when he looked up, there was no trace of tall trees left in the chaotic wind and snow ahead, and on the empty snowfield, there were only huge tree trunks that were falling and broken, and high and low tree stumps left on the ground.

"Further, it's in the range of forgiveness. Gilgamesh turned his head and looked at Zira, "Are you ready to enter the battlefield?"

"Well, it's ready. Chira nodded, "Let's go." ”

"But I don't think you're ready. Gilgamesh suddenly smiled faintly, his pupils like pale golden amber, flashing with a hint of mystery, "Your soul power is passing fast, you don't think, I can't feel it, do you?"

Qila's face turned slightly pale. He was silent and did not speak.

"And, you just made a pawn on the cedar tree where you stopped to listen to the senses, seemingly casually but very quickly. Gilgamesh took a step closer to Zila, his robe swept by the wind, "I'm interested in knowing where that piece leads, are you going to tell me?"

"I set up chess pieces along the way, nothing strange, no one can predict what the battle with forgiveness will be like after a while, maybe we need an emergency plan to withdraw from the battlefield at any time. Leaving chess pieces along the way also makes it easier for us to improvise, and if we really can't fight against forgiveness, then at least we can evacuate safely and not let the battle get out of control. Zira's tone was calm and peaceful, without any panic, and his gaze was straight at Gilgamesh, without any dodging.

"However, you transferred your Horcrux through that chess piece, I'm afraid it's a bit unreasonable, right?" Gilgamesh looked at Chira's calm face, still maintaining an elegant smile, "Who can throw away the weapon before going to war?"

Zila stopped talking. He looked at Gilgamesh, his breathing a little cloudy. His long eyelashes seemed to be smeared with mist, with a kind of wet sadness.

"Where did your Horcruxes go?"

Zila still didn't speak.

"I can continue to wait for you, when do you want to tell me, you speak again, I'm not in a hurry. Gilgamesh gently raised his finger and pointed to the chaotic wind and snow behind him, "I just don't know if they can hold on any longer." Although you are not very good at soul power perception, you are already one step away from the battlefield here, and I think you can also feel that forgiveness will be completely awakened in a short time......"

"I let my Horcruxes, for a short period of time, go to the future. Kira adjusted her breathing and said calmly.

"What are you going to do in the future?"

"I'll let it take a look, the outcome of this battle ......" Qila's eyes were slightly red, as if his eyes were hurt by the cold wind, "If the end is ...... If it doesn't end well, we'll get out of here now. I don't want you to walk into a battle that is doomed. ”

"Why don't you tell me, you can go and see for yourself, I can wait for you here. Gilgamesh's voice softened a little, and he looked at Chira's reddened eyes, a little unbearable.

"Traveling through time consumes much more soul power than traveling through space. Just sending my Horcruxes into the future has almost consumed a lot of my soul power. If I allow myself to travel back in time, I may not be able to fight at all for a short time, or even return here immediately......" Chira looked away from Gilgamesh's tenderly staring eyes, he didn't want Gilgamesh to see his moist eyes, "I want to stay and help you...... I'm not as strong as you, but at least, I can assist you, and I want to fight alongside you......"

In the distance, a platinum-gold light flew towards Qila like lightning.

Chira raised his hand, and the platinum-gold light disappeared into his palm like a swimming silverfish.

"Your Horcrux is back. Gilgamesh smiled softly, he walked over and patted Hira on the shoulder, "Then you ask it, at the end of this battle, am I still alive?"

"Alive. ”

"And what about you?" asked Gilgamesh, "are you still alive? If not, then we will go now." ”

"I'm alive too. A small tear dripped from her eye like a sparkling diamond and fell into the soft snow. He suppressed his choked breath and smiled.

Gilgamesh raised his hand, grabbed Chila's cold hand, and a steady stream of pure soul power was transmitted into Chila's body: "Then let's go, I need you, fight side by side with me." ”

Qila felt the soul power that was pouring into her body as if it were pure gold, and those soul powers carried a hot heat, like a heat that could melt people.

"Are you confident?" said Zira, looking at Gilgamesh and whispering to him.

"I have confidence because you said that at the end of the battle, we were all alive. Gilgamesh shook his hand hard, "I trust you. ”

【West Aslan Empire, Abyss Corridor, North Forest】

Elena looked at the Netherworld in front of her, and he exuded a terrifying frenzied violent energy. Elena felt that the man standing in front of her with bare muscles was as frightening as a monster, and at the same time fascinating.

The Netherworld looked at the pale Yelena in front of him, and the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up an uninhibited smile, but his smile quickly condensed - he saw that Yelena's pupils suddenly reflected countless dense red dots.

He immediately turned around, but before he could focus his gaze, hundreds of bloody barbed vines shot at him head-on, shooting through him, and the Netherworld passed out in agony as if it was about to be torn apart.

He was thrown high and fell to a broken stump, the sound of bones breaking in his body.

Elena collapsed in place, trembling at the fleshy red python-like vines that were swinging wildly towards the sky in front of her, her heart was grabbed by fear, her throat was choked, and she had no strength to move her body at all.

She looked at the countless heavy blood-red pythons in the sky with a grimace on her face, and jumped down wildly towards her.

She closed her eyes and waited for her body to be torn apart.

However, the great pain did not come, but was replaced by a strong smell of royal oak, with the warm heat of the spring sun, which enveloped her snorts.

"Chira, you protect the Netherworld and Yelena and lead them to the back. Suddenly, a low but gentle voice sounded in his ears, which carried a kind of imperial dignity and at the same time was full of seductive magnetism.

Elena opened her eyes, she was far away from the shadow of death she had just had, and the unconscious Netherworld was still lying beside her, and not far away, Ferrer, the Lord of the Seventh Degree, barely struggled from the ground and walked towards her.

Elena raised her head and looked ahead, the black robe that was flying like a black lotus flower was as bewitching and weird as a black lotus, and she faintly felt that his silhouette looked very similar to the star-blood giant lotus looming in the wind and snow in the distance. And standing beside him at this moment was the pinnacle of Yaslan's soul art that shone with golden light, the once-king Gilgamesh.

"Do you know what kind of monster you've provoked......" Gilgamesh whispered as he looked ahead at the hundreds of red python-like fleshy vines that squirmed towards the sky.

"These bloody red vines should be the stamens of its prey, right? Its petals have not fully bloomed, and they should not have fully awakened. If we make a move sooner, we should have a chance of winning, right?" Zira looked at Gilgamesh, trying to control the nervousness in her voice.

"I'm talking about the monster, but it's not the one in front of you...... Although this forgiveness in front of you is tricky, if you barely fight to the limit, there is still some possibility of success...... But behind this giant lotus, the little guy in the distance who is walking towards us step by step, if it also awakens successfully, we have no chance of survival. Gilgamesh's eyes were like frozen lakes, reflecting a cold, sharp light, "If it doesn't go to war, we still have a chance." ”

Gilgamesh looked back at the pale, silent Sila and continued: "These four living ruins of Yaslan have been the pinnacle of the strength of soul beasts in the Yaslan realm for thousands of years, and they dominate the entire soul beast world and occupy the top of the food chain for a long time. The other soul beasts were almost worlds apart from them. But the strength of these four soul beasts is also divided into strong and weak, from the weakest Ragnarok, to blessings, to forgiveness...... And at the peak, it is the freedom that is still watching from afar, and has no desire to participate in the war for the time being. ”

"Is freedom much more powerful than forgiveness?" asked Chira.

Gilgamesh turned his head, his emperor-like face was sharp in the wind and snow, and his ice-carved jade facial features shone a soft white light in the snow: "The gap between freedom and forgiveness is like ...... The gap between me and the Netherworld. ”

Zila didn't speak, he didn't get much information from Gilgamesh's words. Because neither Gilgamesh nor the Netherworld knew how high the limit of any person's soul power was. He turned his head to look at the chaotic wind and snow in the distance, at this moment, the huge swaying tentacles of forgiveness were releasing a huge and chaotic soul power, and Kira was completely unable to perceive the free soul power state behind forgiveness. And just now Gilgamesh said that freedom has no desire to participate in war at the moment, so its soul power has not been released, and it is only in a hidden state...... Gilgamesh's talent was not an accurate perception of soul power, but he could still clearly perceive the faint changes in soul power in the distance that was hidden at the moment through the chaotic and violent soul power barrier of forgiveness in front of him.

Zila realized that she had never known how unfathomable Gilgamesh really was.

This may be the overwhelming strength that is known as the peak of Yaslan's soul power.

"Chira, I need you to be a pawn so that I can go around behind it without angering forgiveness, I need to deal with freedom first, otherwise, at the rate of its awakening at this moment, even if we succeed in capturing forgiveness, that freedom will have been completely awakened. At that point, I didn't have the strength to deal with another guy like that. ”

"And what about forgiveness here?" asked Chira.

Gilgamesh turned his head to look at Chira, a charming smile appeared on his face, his low and moving voice was like a warm winter sun, he raised his hand, stroked Chira's furrowed eyebrows, he gently smoothed his frowning eyebrows, and whispered: "If you want to defeat forgiveness, it is indeed not easy, but if you just want to dodge the attack of forgiveness and protect a few of you, Zira, you must be fine." I believe you. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, "You wait for me here, I'll be back in a while." Before I come back, I'll bother you to take care of them. ”

"Then you ......"

"I promise you, I will come back alive. Gilgamesh looked at Chira's worried face and couldn't help but smile softly.

On the snow in front of Gilgamesh, a delicate lotus flower carved from ice and snow bloomed quietly in the semi-solidified plasma, and the small lotus flower was completely clear, as if it were crystal and lingering with the light of the stars.

"When is it, you still have to make trouble. Gilgamesh rubbed his forehead and said with a wry smile, "You actually made a little forgiveness for me as a pawn, and I don't know what to say about you......"

Qila smiled awkwardly, with an embarrassed expression: "I ...... unconsciously. I did it casually, maybe I was thinking about the lotus subconsciously, so it became like this......"

Gilgamesh raised his hand and brushed the broken snow on his shoulder, and walked towards the crystal lotus: "Before I come back, stay where I am, don't have any provocation to forgiveness, it is still in the stage of absorbing the golden soul mist, and it should not launch a large-scale attack for the time being." But if ...... I'm just saying what if...... If I don't come back after that......" Gilgamesh crouched down gently beside the lotus piece, turned his head, and raised his beautiful eyes shrouded in thick golden eyelashes, "Promise me that you will get out of here alive no matter what method you use." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and picked up the ice and snow lotus.

There was a slight fluctuation in the air, and Gilgamesh's figure disappeared into the air as if it had been blown away by the wind.

In the distance, a huge forgiveness like a towering snow-capped mountain quietly swayed its huge white petals at this moment, like countless tumbling clouds, covering the end of the line of sight. The Nether, who had been unconscious just now, regained consciousness at this moment. He struggled to get to Chira's side, gritting his teeth as he looked at Gilgamesh's dissipated figure. Under the deep brow bone, a black light flashed in his eyes: "Why are you so stupid." ”

"What do you mean?" Chira's gaze retracted from the chaotic wind and snow in front of him, and his eyes turned cold.

"Gilgamesh is tempting you. Nether's breath was filled with suppressed anger.

"Tempting me?" Qila's pupils trembled slightly.

"We've always claimed that we don't know anything about the awakening of freedom, right?" "The coldness in his eyes was like a poisoned dagger, "and how do you know where freedom is? )
