Chapter 203: Behind the Scenes
The water in that illusory river is not the "River of Eternal Darkness" itself, but its diffuse breath...... After all, even with this "door" designed by Russell, it is impossible to open the seal of the "Source Fort" on the rest of the essentia, which is something that even Mr. "Gate" and the "Night Emperor" can't do together.
Now, Abner can attract some breath close to reality through the tributaries of the "River of Eternal Darkness" that has infiltrated the seal, already because Vicente, the "Lord of the Souls", is related to the two Grim Reapers, and the "Seeker" of this life is the best at prying power.
But even so, the "Abyss", which had also not fully entered reality, was still unable to resist the influx of the illusory tide of the "River of Eternal Darkness", so Fabuti immediately ended this advent and abandoned part of the first layer of the "Abyss" that had invaded Trier.
In an instant, the "abyss", which had lost the source of "filth", suddenly collapsed under the washing of the illusory tide of the "River of Eternal Darkness", and in the blink of an eye, it reformed a human figure.
That person has a shadow of Prime Minister Charlie Delien, but more of a part is the "god" Nos Fabouti who came directly to him.
That "Demon King" even gave up directly on his own direct descendant and back hand to get out of trouble, which seemed extremely cold-blooded and decisive.
After regaining his consciousness, the "god North" also wants to escape with the help of the spirit world...... However, although the tide of the "River of Eternal Darkness" is only a breath, as a part of essentia, it is not something that can be easily escaped by Sequence 1.
I saw Charlie's figure suddenly appear in the illusory tide, but his face was pale and his body was wet, like a "water ghost"!
As soon as he appeared, he grabbed North by the ankle and dragged him inside the tide, no matter how much he struggled.
Gradually, Nos Fabuti only felt that his body was getting colder and colder, his thoughts were becoming more and more silent, his vision was darkening little by little, and finally all he could see was swaying, lightless waves.
He died...... Instead of turning into evil spirits or entering the "underworld", he was bound by the "River of Eternal Darkness" and sank to the bottom of the illusory river forever.
Immediately afterward, North's body left in reality also quickly decayed, turning into dust in a matter of seconds, leaving only a "god" characteristic that seemed too peaceful and dim, which was summoned into the hands of "Rhine".
"Tolzna's return to the 'King of Angels' is a complete piece of the puzzle...... But it was contaminated with dangerous things, and it had to go to the night for help...... Well, let him worry about it. ”
Lilith, who occupies the "Rhine" projection, put away the characteristics after a little thought.
Then he turned all his attention to the "triumphal arch" with a gray mist in the belly of the door, and said to himself thoughtfully, "I see...... Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. ”
……
On the top of another tall building next to Tulip Central Boulevard, an Aurora Society god is prostrate on the ground, and behind him, a curtain of shadows emerges, as if a pair of crazy eyes are staring through the curtain at the mystery inside the "Arc de Triomphe".
……
At the same time, the ground shook suddenly, and then a mecha at least 50 meters tall with steam smoke from its back emerged from a crack in the ground.
It was the "God of Steam and Machine" Divine Descent Vessel, which had taken too much time to warm up and start, so it was a step too late.
The huge steam mecha first bloomed with the "light of civilization", uprooting the "abyss" pollution of everyone or everything, including Bernadette, and then turned his head to look at the many "knowledge" looming inside the "Arc de Triomphe", and seemed to have gained a little.
At this time, the sun's rays suddenly became more intense, piercing through the thick dark clouds that had suddenly accumulated due to the arrival of the "River of Eternal Darkness", shining near the destroyed white houses and shining on the central avenue, erasing the gloom and negative emotions in the hearts of those who came into contact with the sun, and by the way, slightly modifying their memories.
……
At the same time, in the astral realm, in the spiritual realm, and in the real world, I don't know how many people have laid out the existence of the "Delien" family to rely on dependents or believers, and set their sights on Trier and the "Arc de Triomphe".
It's a pity that the latter is a step too late.
After Abner forced the "abyss" back, he only had time to lead a small tide to the "Yellow Saint" Natalia in front of the old house of the Derien family, but she could no longer maintain this state and retreated from the "door" of the underground room.
The Necronomicon in his hand had completely turned into an ordinary book at this time, and the parchment in it was rapidly decaying, as if it would turn into ashes at the slightest touch.
And his "transformation" came to an end.
Abner rubbed the corners of his forehead a little, relieved his tired spirit, and immediately looked at the ancestor of the so-called "Delien" family, the former "Lady Julia", by the "door", and asked impatiently:
"Russell built the wonder of the 'Arc de Triomphe' to use the 'essentia' to fight against the pollution on his body?"
Julia nodded, "Yes...... He received a soul stone condensed from the special soul of the 'Elf King' from the former Elf Queen.
"That soul stone can be used as a medium to communicate with essentia 'Calamity City'...... Unfortunately, he seemed to have been greatly influenced at the time, sometimes paying attention to this spectacle and sometimes indifferent to it, so that it was not completed until his death......
"But because I promised him that he would complete the 'Arc de Triomphe', I asked the Delien family to fund it and finally build it."
Isn't the Elven King's Soul Stone in Yalolan's hands? However, it is not surprising that since Russell can find Yalo Blue to trade, it should not be a problem to borrow soul stones...... Anyway, Yarolan didn't pay much attention to that thing.
Also, Russell originally wanted to communicate with the "City of Calamity"...... Is this influenced by the "Calamity Seal"?
As his thoughts turned, Abner asked again:
"After you built this door, you tried to open it, and that's why it's what it is now? Still tied down here? ”
Although he used questionable wording, his tone was quite affirmative, after all, he had "insights" from the "Arc de Triomphe" when he was manipulating it.
"Yes, I'm already a dead man...... Because I touched something I shouldn't have touched...... Julia smiled wryly, and continued, "I'm afraid Russell had expected me to do that, so he entrusted me with the construction of the Arc de Triomphe......
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have told me the name 'Liu Bo' and asked me to wait for you here......
"Oh, if I hadn't tried to open that door, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been waiting for you here!
"In his later years, he was really ruthless! Everything is full of calculations! ”
Lao Huang in his later years was indeed full of calculations, but since he asked you to wait for me...... It means that you are still left with the last chance of life...... After all, the only person who can solve your current problem is me, except for the future Mr. "Fool".
As soon as he thought of this, Abner suddenly felt a vibration coming, and he knew that this was the "Arc de Triomphe" that had just been washed by the "River of Eternal Darkness", and had also entered the "end" and was about to collapse.
So he hurried to ask the only question he didn't "understand":
"What are you using as a 'medium' to open that door?"
