Chapter 545: The Twins of Destiny (I)

Why he understood these things, why he understood that they were "fate", Ulysses could not say clearly.

All this cognition seems to come from the book of demons in Goethe's hands, that seemingly ordinary but unusual book. In Sister Mira's dream, Ulysses had seen a part of the book—no, he had gotten it.

So he knew the strength of these three monsters, knew the horror of Goethe at this moment, and also saw his paleness and powerlessness. He didn't really grasp the power of that Book of Demon Kings, otherwise there should be a monster appearing, that is, the last dragon to appear in Ragnarok, the dragon of doom who devoured the corpses of the gods, and the terminator of the real world.

Goethe couldn't summon him, because he didn't have that kind of power, and the three monsters were already his limit. However, even so, these three monsters summoned by the power of the Book of Dusk in his hand are absolutely invincible to the current Ulysses.

Fenrir the Sky Swallowing Wolf, Yolmangund, the Earthly Python, and Hull, the Queen of the Land of the Dead, all of them surpassed the current Ulysses, not to mention Goethe, who opened the Book of Demon Kings.

At this moment, Goethe is showing the power that transcends this world, the power from Mephistopheles. While Ulysses has more potential, it will take time for that potential to be realized.

He is also a user of the power of the Demon King, but Goethe was already the world's strongest alchemist who fused the Philosopher's Stone when he received Mephistopheles' legacy, and now Ulysses really chose the path of the Demon King only a few months ago.

Absolute power disparity, this is the harsh reality.

This gem war may be the last gem war in this faraway land, because the entire faraway land is close to collapse.

When Goethe opened the taboo and summoned the Book of the Demon King in his hand, this was almost a foregone conclusion.

However, even so, the creatures of this land did not give up hope of survival, and countless points of light were entwined to protect the last city of the girls living in this world, the Jewel City.

In the rough sea, the boundary towers of the four directions still stand tenaciously, resisting the countless invading seawaters.

In the center of this sea of calamity, at the foot of Ulysses, there is an abyss. Even in the face of the ancient ocean that came out of the twilight hour, this abyssal land was not at a disadvantage, and even swallowed these seas in turn.

Countless beautiful butterflies continued to flutter in the countless dark crystals, infusing the essence they absorbed into their father's body without stopping.

"Why, don't give up struggling, don't despair? Do you think there's still a chance to resist? Standing on the head of the earthly python Jörmangunde, Goethe looked condescendingly at Ulysses, who had become very small, with disdain as disdain as an ant.

It's over, when he opens the Book of Demon Kings belonging to Mephistopheles, what else is his opponent in this world except for the necromantic monarch who has disappeared? Even if the two snakes of heaven and earth revive together, it is impossible to defeat him who summoned the Heaven Devouring Demon Wolf Fenrir, the earthly giant python Yolmangunde, and the Queen of the Dead Realm Hel.

This is the true sense of the king's domination, as long as he has these three monsters, he can sweep everything with absolute power like the necromantic monarch at that time. Ulysses, who had seemed a little threatening to him just a moment, was now just a little bug of an unknown prophet in his eyes, and even more attractive than the beautiful butterflies fluttering around him.

This is the change brought about by the increase in strength, now he sees higher and farther, holding the Book of Twilight and incarnating as Loki, the king of the giant clan, he has approached the realm of gods and has become the strongest in this world.

Ulysses' eyes changed somewhat, but it was not the resignation or anger that Goethe had imagined, but a strange sense of dazedness and emptiness.

Because he discovered something shocking, or the truth.

That is Goethe at this moment, and at the same time summoned the sky-swallowing demon wolf Fenrir, the earthly giant python Yormangunde, the queen of the land of the dead Hull, and the king of the giant race, Goethe of the evil god Loki, who is too weak to attack.

His soul fluctuations were exposed to him like that, and his soul that was bound to the Book of the Demon King would have been shattered long ago if it weren't for the protection of the Philosopher's Stone. Even so, now his soul cannot be said to be complete, or even an independent existence.

The real Goethe is dead, and he is dead. The current Goethe was just a piece of the Philosopher's Stone, but he didn't even notice it.

It wasn't difficult to kill him, and it was even the weakest opponent Ulysses had ever faced, weaker than the bunnies he had first encountered outside the village of Mira.

At least, it would have been a long time since he had caught the rabbit, but now he only had one thing to do if he wanted to kill Goethe.

That is, to touch the book of the Demon King, you don't need to touch it directly with your hands, you only need to touch it a little with your mental power. In this way, the soul that has already been broken once will be completely shattered, and it will no longer be qualified to be pieced together.

But Ulysses hesitated, really hesitated. Because he felt both familiar and strange from the Book of Demon Kings in Goethe's hand.

What is familiar is the breath exuded by the book itself, and what is unfamiliar is the vicissitudes and coldness.

That book is very strong, really strong, just by looking at its ability to summon the Sky Devouring Demon Wolf Fenrir, the earthly giant python Yorman Gunde, and the Queen of the Dead Country Hel knows that this is the Book of Demon Kings that can easily destroy all the laws of this world.

However, in Ulysses's eyes, the book was so illusory that even if it was there, it was impossible to see what it really looked like and what it was, as if it were a hypocritical lie in itself.

What will happen to it, what will it gain, what will it lose? Ulysses could not answer, but it was as if a voice had told him that now was not the time to take it.

When Ulysses looked at Goethe's book of demons, Goethe's mood became irritable for some reason. He looked at Ulysses, who was as small as an ant, and couldn't find where this irritability came from.

Eventually, Goethe decided that he would not let Ulysses live any longer, no matter where this irritability came from.

It's time to put an end to everything, and he who has summoned Fenrir the Sky Swallowing Wolf, Yorman Gund, the earthly python, and Hull, the Queen of the Land of the Dead, already has the power to destroy everything.

"Hull, kill him. ”

Hel, the queen of the Dead in the Cloak of Shadows, nodded lightly, and rode slowly forward on her three-legged white horse.

"Woo!" the earthly python Yormangund shook its giant, bringing about a huge wave that turned the world upside down.

In the midst of this monstrous wave, countless armies of the dead began to attack on the waves.

They were all heroes of the Southern Lands before them, but they were defeated in the Gem Wars, leaving only their wreckage as part of the Land of Steel. Now, they have been forcibly summoned by Hull, who rules the laws of the underworld, and have become a terrifying army of the dead.

Even though their bodies were in tatters, the weakest of the dark gods who could be attracted from distant lands were also the upper echelons of the seventh-level powerhouses, and even if they were defeated in the Gem War and their souls were gone, when Hel unleashed the laws of the underworld to bring them back to life, they were still an army of the dead that was terrifying enough to sweep through everything.

That's right, this is the law of Hull's ghost legion, forcibly waking the dead to fight. Even the remains of a dark god who has lost her soul are free to do so, which is the privilege of being the queen of the land of the dead.

"Come, come, hurry, fight back!" This time, even the moonstone on Ulysses' shoulder felt a mortal crisis. She never imagined that the final battle of this gem war would be so terrifying that even the Twin Tree Garden, which was guarded by the power of the twin goddesses, could not control the power of the battle between the two sides, causing such a terrible disaster.

Dozens of thin black lines stretched out from under Ulysses' feet, slicing Hull's ghost legion into several pieces in an instant.

However, in the midst of countless fragments, Hel combined them again to create a new legion. This means that Ulysses' line of death cannot destroy this legion, because the essence of this legion is not the remains of the dark gods, but the law of the dead held by Hull.

As long as Hull wants to, he can resurrect these dead an infinite number of times, and in order to defeat the ghost army under Hull's control, he must first defeat Hull, the ruler.

So, what to do? Is it true that you still want to touch the Book of the Demon King? Ulysses looked up and stared at the Book of Twilight in Goethe's hand.

When Ulysses's gaze came into contact with the book, Goethe's strange feeling became more and more intense, and he realized that it was not the first time he had felt this way.

When? Where did he feel that way?

Is it a person? It's the same person? At that time...... "Don't look at it." ”

"Don't touch it. ”

Two almost identical voices rang in Ulysses' ears, and then the Bodhi Twin Trees in the center of the Twin Tree Garden began to sway gently, and among the scattered flowers and leaves, a pair of beautiful figures came out of the twin trees.

There was a light in them, a light that shone on the whole distant land, a light that even Fenrir the Sky Eater could not devour, a light that made all the jewel maidens hold the jewel on their foreheads and begin to pray and bless.

That is, the brilliance of the Twins of Destiny.
