Chapter 543: Sword of the Abyss (Part II)
The sky was like black snow, eroding the land little by little. As soon as the boiling magma touched these black fragments, it immediately solidified and began to crystallize. As soon as you look at it, the black crystals continue to spread into the distance like a forest, turning the land into a world of darkness.
"Uhh These lines of death do not directly declare the death of Goethe, who possesses the Philosopher's Stone and Mephistopheles, but they can shatter the vitality of the land.
This is the reason why Ulysses would never want to use this sword unless he had to, because the third sword from Astarot is an out-and-out sword of destruction, and once this sword is released, the land will be completely eroded by the power of the dark abyss, and it will become a world with the power of the abyss.
This is a deeper damage than the Dark Evil Crystal, and it is the devouring of this world by the power of the Abyssal Judgment. With this sword, Ulysses could even see the end of the beautiful Twin Tree Garden.
How long will it take for the twin goddesses who guarded this distant land to rebuild such a beautiful garden? Will they forgive him? Such thoughts only flashed through Ulysses's mind, and then disappeared without a trace.
Because if he can't defeat the enemy in front of him, all the future will disappear, and in order to protect the future in his heart, he must use this sword.
"Whew!" a black thread passed through Goethe's body, giving him a strange feeling of shattering, as if a part of his body had been cut off.
But that feeling was only for a moment, and the Philosopher's Stone held by Goethe quickly recovered his body, as the legendary treasure with the highest mysterious level in this world, the Philosopher's Stone is a fantasy crystallization at the same level as the Heart of the World, and it is not so easy to be destroyed. Even in the disaster that shattered Goethe's bones, the Philosopher's Stone was still tenaciously preserved, and it was restored little by little on the steel ground, and finally reborn with Goethe.
However, it was a dangerous out-of-control, one of the few moments in which Goethe smelled death. He was almost swallowed by the power of Mephistopheles' shards, and if it weren't for the fact that he held the Philosopher's Stone, I am afraid that he would have completely disappeared from this world.
There is a great terror between life and death, and it is precisely because of this that he begins to truly understand how to use the Mephistopheles inheritance he has acquired.
Reaching out and grasping a black shard that fell from the sky, Goethe discovered that it contained some energy that even the eye of a philosopher could not analyze. It was definitely one of the most mysterious substances he had ever come into contact with, and it seemed to have no weight, but when it fell to the ground, it would turn the whole land black.
It was not a "dyeing" that could be seen with the naked eye, but a place of darkness that had completely turned the land, and such a terrifying phenomenon was often only occasionally seen on ancient battlefields that had existed for more than a thousand years and had killed millions of people. Since the Cult of the Supreme God has become the largest faith in the continent, such a terrifying ancient battlefield has been purified without exception, and not even a single ghost can be found, Goethe never thought that he could actually see this cursed land appear alive in front of his eyes.
He remembered that the last time he saw such a cursed land was at the end of the ancient magic period, when the terrifying sword warrior washed the sky city forest fruit in blood. At that time, his identity was the secretary of the emperors of ancient language magic, and his job on the surface was to study all kinds of magic furnaces, and his actual job was to preside over all kinds of life refining ceremonies, so it can be said that in the later period of ancient language magic, he burned at least tens of millions of people to study all kinds of forbidden alchemy, among which the prototype of the philosopher's stone was his biggest gain.
It's a pity that those good years didn't last long, who would have thought that someone among the emperors of ancient language magic would betray, and the situation would develop to the point where it could not be reversed in just a few years, and the brave man named Lala almost wiped out the wizard class who studied ancient language magic, and even he himself was almost killed. If that era of ancient magic can continue for a while longer, I believe that there can be one or two more philosopher's stones, and the research on the bloodline of the pseudo-god can be further advanced.
"You're weird. After witnessing so many strange phenomena, Goethe had to take another look at Ulysses in front of him.
In his mind, this human named "Mei Fei" was a very good genius of divine arts. Although it is far inferior to a genius like him who only comes out in 10,000 years, it is indeed superior in terms of the use and research of divine arts. I believe that if he had not died at his own hands, he would have become a great pope.
However, the "Mei Fei" in front of him now and the cardinal in his impression are two completely different people, and they are very different from that point of view. Whether it is the magic sword with an ominous aura, or the pair of black crystals that exude a deadly twisting power, they can all be said to be the power of foreign objects. But what he saw in his eyes at the moment was his essence.
In the eyes of "Mei Fei", there will never be such a terrifying dark existence, it is no longer a matter of simple dark magic, but involves a deeper essence.
Could it be that what Le Cutorou said was true? This man in white was not a "Mephie", but someone else? It was impossible for him to be mistaken with the Philosopher's Stone, which was the characteristic that belonged to the cardinal.
This kind of soul level imprint is a hundred times more reliable than the naked eye, and it is impossible for two souls to be identical in this world, even if they are twins are only similar in the composition of their souls. But in his eyes, the person who came to participate in the Gem War in front of him was obviously "Mayphie", the cardinal who caused Mephistopheles in his body to lose control in the first place.
Ulysses looked at Goethe with a calm expression, and his eyes became indifferent little by little, not because he had lost his fighting spirit, but because he had entered the desperate situation when he fought with the eight-headed demon dragon Casa.
He knew very well that Goethe in front of him was an opponent that he could not defeat no matter what, so only by forcing himself to the point of no retreat could he detonate all the hidden power in his body.
Yes, just like then.
Silent, huge web-like cracks appeared in the earth, and then the whole land began to crumble and shatter, replaced by clusters of black crystals that stretched out. These black crystals surrounded two huge dark evil crystals, rapidly changing the world around them, and the power from Astarrot was constantly devouring the original appearance of the Twin Tree Garden, and even the rainbow in the sky could no longer illuminate these cold black crystals.
The Abyssal Land is beginning to take shape, and the entire Twin Tree Garden is beginning to evolve towards the dark side, and the fragments that fly out of the Abyssal Judgment are changing the world and changing all the original laws.
Goethe quickly understood what Ulysses was doing, and with the Philosopher's Stone, he could have used the power of all the elements around him at will, as evidenced by the Forbidden Demon Peak, which had just blocked the Sunspot attack. But now he found that the elemental power around him was constantly escaping, and it was impossible to convert into the mountains like just now.
This means that in this abyssal land, all elemental magic will disappear, and it will be impossible to borrow the elemental power that is ubiquitous around it except for its own power. This is a realm more powerful than the inherent barrier, a forbidden law that has interfered with the operation of the laws of the real world, and it is almost like something developed specifically for him who has the Philosopher's Stone.
The Philosopher's Stone itself does not have infinite energy, its biggest role is to "transform", to convert everything in this world into its own power, whether it is an element or life, as long as it is a substance within the laws of this world, the Philosopher's Stone can be easily converted into a power that is beneficial to Goethe, making him the spokesperson of the laws of this world.
This is the power of the Philosopher's Stone, the legend at the apex of alchemy. With the Philosopher's Stone, even if he has never made much effort to study elemental magic, Goethe has the ability to use all magic spells except for some starry sky magic at will, and there is no need for spells and rituals, all of them are instantaneous.
With the Philosopher's Stone, Goethe did have the qualifications to stand at the highest level in the world, but he was not satisfied with this position.
What he wanted was stronger, higher-level power, power beyond this world, beyond the Philosopher's Stone. To this end, he did whatever it took to infiltrate the Wizards' Guild at the risk of revealing his identity, and finally found "it".
"It's a pleasure for me, and since you've come up with such an excellent field, I'll show you the true power that belongs to Mephistopheles. Goethe pressed the sage eye on his forehead and carefully took out a book from it.
"Bang!" Ulysses' heart pounded violently at the sight of the book, and his whole body and soul seemed to be drawn to it.
He knew the book, yes, the book was ......" This is Mephistopheles' legacy, the forgotten book, the book with infinite gestures, the summoning of those demon insects just now, just a trivial line of the book. ”
"Mephistopheles has a different attitude, he has a different name, and the books he left behind have the same characteristics as him. ”
"Mephistopheles is a deceiver as well as a creator, and his books can be written by random names to turn lies into truths. ”
"So, the naming begins, the three goddesses of Nolan, tell me, the name of the book!"
