Chapter 180: Welcome Back (Ending)
After seeing Abner enter the "barrier", Crane closed his eyes and strengthened the determination he had made before:
He wants to temporarily block out the "unknown" power and face the influence of the "Heavenly Venerable" on his own, and he has found a way to do so.
Although Abner said that the "assistance" to him was insignificant, as long as it could lighten his burden, Klein was willing to try.
However, he doesn't want to perform unprepared, so he recently asked the goddess for the water of the "River of Eternal Darkness", intending to enter the dream realm with the "Celestial" and fight against it there after shielding the "unknown" power.
In this way, it is inevitable that the winner will not be determined in a short period of time..... As long as Abner returns from the old days, he can naturally use the power of the "unknown" to "fish" himself.
And even if Abner doesn't come back, with the ties of Sharon and others, he may not lose.
What's more, if he doesn't do this, once it is that "Liu Bo" who comes back, he is afraid that he may not have a good end, and he may have to take the initiative to release Tianzun to fight.
In a flash of thought, Crane returned to the Source Fort and sat down in the high-backed chair, allowing his body to be covered in gray mist.
After looking around and confirming the status of the crimson stars, Crane leaned back in his chair and raised his right hand slightly.
This time, he didn't make the "world" dummy again.
On both sides of the mottled long table, strands of crimson light rose at the same time, and the members of the Tarot Society such as "The Hanged Man", "Sun", "Hermit", "Magician", and "Temperance" were frozen.
This sudden summoning obviously surprised the expectations of "Justice" Audrey and others, making them all a little stunned and surprised for a while.
The sluggishest of them all smelled the uneasiness and felt the air freeze.
Thinking of Mr. "Fool's" occasional hints and the fact that Mr. "Tower" has not participated in the Tarot meeting for a long time, "Justice" Audrey and "Hanged Man" Alger both flashed similar thoughts at the same time:
"Has it finally arrived?"
Audrey subconsciously turned her head and looked at the bottom of the mottled table, only to see that it was empty, and there was no one left, and then she looked at Miss "Temperance" again.
"Temperance" Sharon pursed her lips, Klein had already confessed everything to her and informed him of the decision he had made, so although worried, she was calm.
Where did Klein go..... "Star" Leonard suddenly panicked. In this world, he didn't have many friends he could make close to, and Klein was one of them.
Leonard's heart was anxious, and he jerked sideways and set his eyes on Mr. "Fool" at the top of the Ban Bar Long Table.
The Great Being was still shrouded in gray mist, making it impossible to see His current state.
At this time, Emlyn "Moon", "Hermit" Gardelia, and "Sun" Deric also discovered the absence of Mr. "World".
Combined with the suddenness of this gathering, they were surprised and confused in their hearts, not knowing what was going on, but intuitively thinking that it would not be a good thing.
Only Gardelia, the "hermit" who knew what Abner was going to do, had some guesses.
As "Justice" Audrey and the others turned their bodies and looked at the top of the mottled long table, Klein, who was already a real "fool", said in a low voice:
"It's an impromptu meeting."
Hearing this, Audrey looked around and stood up as usual.
When the members of the Tarot Society got up one after another, Audrey lifted the hem of her skirt a little heavily, and bowed to the top of the mottled long table:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."
The rest of the Tarot Society looked quite solemn at this time, and followed Miss "Justice" to complete their usual greetings.
When they sat down again, Klein the Fool looked around and said in a low voice:
"I'm going to sleep.
"This involves a war that goes beyond the sequence, and has to do with the magnitude of the apocalypse.
」
In the Western Continent, Abner, who had initially mastered the three essentia, did not hesitate and directly began to accommodate them.
In an instant, countless chaotic, terrifying, and crazy whispers rang in his ears, striking at the defense line he had built with the "anchor" and some of the "unknown" forces he could control.
The chaos of fate, the sudden arrival of calamity, and the coming of his own depravity and madness in turn constantly tore apart Abner's thoughts, and his spirit was gradually contaminated with "impurities".
Just as he was struggling to hold on, the figure in the depths of the "Unknown Land" opened its eyes due to the stimulation of essentia fusion.
He frowned, then sat up, turning his head to focus on Abner through the dimensions and spaces.
But his expression remained blank, as if he had thought for a moment before he remembered what to do.
And while he was thinking, the power of the "unknown" had already activated itself, and it continued to pour into the three essentia of "Key of Light", "City of Calamity" and "Shadow World", and successfully suppressed them.
Abner was waiting for this opportunity, and he immediately released all the "unknown" power he had accumulated, swallowing all three essentia at once, and containing them for himself.
His aura surged suddenly, and the fusion of the three essentia also underwent a qualitative change almost instantly, and an old-level essentia was about to be born that was enough to become a "pillar".
At this time, the being in the depths of the "Unknown Land" seemed to react, and he suddenly got rid of the "foolishness" on his body, and used the "dimension" as a ladder to rush towards Abner with all his might.
Just as He was about to enter the dimension of reality, an illusory sun suddenly stood in front of him.
It was a "pure white angel" with the spiritual will of "God" that had been at the entrance of the "unknown land".
With a "boom", the illusory sun suddenly exploded, but it also forced the "unknown" figure back into two dimensions.
And the time gained by its sacrifice has allowed Abner to become an "unknown pillar" in the process of advancing a lot.... But it's still not enough.
Seeing that the Being was about to cross dimensions and enter reality, He returned to his previous dimension, as if he had never moved.
The "High-Dimensional Downlooker" finally couldn't help but make a move!
After all, if "Liu Bo" was allowed to devour Abner, he would have no chance of winning.
"Liu Bo" glanced at the "High-Dimensional Overlooker" through multiple dimensions, and suddenly
laughed, and then descended into the other party's dimension and became entangled with it.
After all, he is still in the weakening period of the "unknown" symbol, and he has just woken up, although he is stronger than the "high-dimensional seeker", but his strength is limited, and if he wants to devour his doppelganger under his harassment, he may have to pay a lot of price.
And if that doppelganger wants to ascend to the old days, it will never take a short time, as long as he waits until his symbol begins to strengthen, then it will win.
It didn't take long for Abner to finally feel that the merge had reached the final step, that he was about to cross that line and become the "unknown old days.....
But at this critical moment, the "High-Dimensional Overlooker" could no longer compete with "Liu Bo", and could only choose to temporarily flee to other dimensions.
Seeing this, "Liu Bo" did not pursue, but once again used the "dimension" as a ladder to descend into reality, and used the symbol of "unknown" as a "hand" to grasp the three essentia that was about to complete the fusion, and had a tendency to drag them out of Abner's body.
Abner seemed to be in a desperate situation all at once.
But it was precisely because of the tearing of "Liu Bo" that Oliver, the "God of Luck" in "The Key to Light", could no longer hide and appeared.
As soon as He appeared, the shadows of the "Divine Sword", the "Holy Seal", and the "Magic Mirror" appeared around his head, as if he was guiding something.
Seeing this, "Liu Bo" unexpectedly gave up the action of "tearing" essentia, and instead grabbed the "God of Luck".
Yes, the "Calamity Seal" instigated the so-called "Three Artifacts" created by Russell, and the real role is to guide "Liu Bo" in the initial back
Traitor.
After becoming a god, Abner carefully studied the three artifacts, and added a trivial small function to them, that is, to once again attract the back hand left by the "Celestial Venerable" on the "unknown", so that it was "fooled" for a moment.
Of course, the "High-Dimensional Overlooker" who got the "Calamity Seal" also cooperated and manipulated the "information", otherwise it would not have achieved such a good effect.
Just as "God of Luck's" hind hand was snuffed out and "Liu Bo" was annoyed that he had been "fooled" again, Abner was also in a difficult situation, as his accumulated strength was about to run out, and perhaps not enough to complete the final fusion.
"What should I do?" When Abner was anxious, an "unknown" force suddenly appeared out of thin air and helped him complete the most important step!
"It's Klein..... That fool...... You can't be really stupid after becoming a 'fool'!" Abner's eyes suddenly revealed happiness and emotion, and then he "stepped" across the line without hesitation.
The old "tower" was born at this moment!
"The beginning of desire, the beginning of destruction, the origin of depravity, the symbol of the unknown, the tower that guides all things!"
Corresponding to the interpretation on the tarot card "Tower", Abner pronounced his honorific name.
In an instant, the unknown old day had its master, and a new essentia "Fallen Tower" was born from the void, and the three paths that belonged to the "tower" "Lighthouse", "Blasphemous Priest" and "Lawgiver" emerged with a large number of corresponding extraordinary characteristics, scattered throughout the universe.
The three parts of essentia "Key of Light", "City of Calamity", and "Shadow World", the three parts of uniqueness, and the nine parts of Sequence 1 that Abner himself fused quickly exited his body and fell into the earth.
Abner opened his eyes, and then with just one blow of the authority of the "lawyer", he severely injured "Liu Bo" and sent him back to the "unknown land".
Now, Abner is the apex "pillar" of the past, and "Liu Bo" has not only not recovered to the peak, but has also lost the symbol of "unknown", and the will of the "original" is still suppressing him.
Caught off guard, "Liu Bo" naturally suffered a loss.
At this time, the "high-dimensional overlooker" lurking on the side saw the opportunity and entangled it without hesitation, wanting to devour "Liu Bo".
After all, the symbol of "unknown" has been lost, and "Liu Bo" itself still bears the "high-dimensional" characteristics that he desires the most.
But at the moment when the "High-Dimensional Downlooker" revealed his true body, "Liu Bo" suddenly showed a "weird" smile, and then his body revealed the same aura as the "High-Dimensional Downlooker", which instantly inhaled it into his body and fused together.
Abner, who had just become a "pillar", was a little stunned by this change, but he immediately relied on the authority of the "lighthouse" to know everything.
"I see......
"It turned out that the 'High-Dimensional Overlooker' obtained the 'High-Dimensional' characteristics and the essentia of the 'Circle of Fate' and the authority of some other essentia in this battle, and then he was able to get in touch with Liu Bo, the reader of 'The Master of Mystery', and ascended to the real high-dimensional world..... That is, the world before I traveled through it.
"It's just that there is no extraordinary power there, and it is not suitable for the 'high-dimensional overlooker' to live, so he has been lurking in the body of the reader 'Liu Bo' until he was thirty years old, and he mysteriously resuscitated, and he woke up and became one with 'Liu Bo'.
"And in the battle for the opportunity tens of thousands of years later, "Liu Bo' was mortally wounded, and with the enemy on his side, he had to choose to reduce the dimension, and used the power of 'fate' that had been raised to an unknown level to reduce the dimension back to the beginning...... It is about to become the source of the power of the 'High Dimensional Lookdown'.
"In this way, a complete 'ring' can be formed!" This is the true 'Circle of Fate'!
"And 'Liu Bo' obviously didn't want to get caught in the 'ring' over and over again, so he tried to sabotage..... And I might be one of them.
"Apparently He succeeded in the end...... Because my appearance was caused by accidents, it was a natural superposition of variables under various misunderstandings, and he did not intervene, not even in the battle just now.
"After all, if I lose, lose all essentia, and revert back to the way it was in the original 'ring', it's a big deal for him to recycle again.....
"And with my victory, He is also out of the 'ring', so he can't wait to eat the 'high-dimensional down-seeker', and then 'ascend' to other real high-dimensional worlds, completely free from the constraints of the 'cycle'.
"No wonder 'Liu Bo' has set so many rigid conditions for his awakening, no wonder 'High-Dimensional Seeker' is qualified to join the competition against the 'unknown', no wonder Liu Bo has not done anything like me after his mysterious recovery.....
"That's the case!"
Thinking of this, Abner witnessed the ascension and departure of "Liu Bo", who was integrated with the "High-Dimensional Overlooker", and his eyes showed a little yearning, but he immediately shook his head and thought to himself:
"Don't say that I don't have a 'high-dimensional' symbol now, and even if I do, I still have so many ties here..... I can't leave!
"Besides, that's good, isn't it?
"As Klein said, is Gao Wei really real?
"By the way, when it comes to Crane, that fool actually went to face Tianzun alone in order to give me a little more strength......
After convincing himself, Abner returned to the North Continent in an instant, only to realize that the time had come to March.
March 4th.
In the Kingdom of God's "Fertility Realm", Abner appeared directly in front of the Goddess of the Night and Mother Earth, and said with a smile, "I'm back!"
In Byam's "Aromatic Manor", Gosinam and Yarolan, who were arguing on a daily basis, turned their heads at the same time and looked at the door, where a familiar figure smiled and said, "I'm back."
In the Misty Sea, on the terrace of the Emerald Castle, Abner smiled kindly at Bernadette and Gadelia, "I'm back."
At 28 Kinster Street, Hugh and Furth rushed to Abner's side, grabbing one of his arms, and his expression grew agitated.
Abner smiled and soothed, "I'm back.
After a while with his two friends, Abner asked, "Is Mr. Fool awake?"
"Not yet..... Furth shook his head.
"Then we're going to wake him up now!" After saying that, Abner's heart moved, and he used the authority that Klein had left for Alvin in advance, and he gathered all the members to hold a special tarot meeting.
In the depths of the "Source Fort", Crane, who had fallen into a deep sleep holding a small mirror, suddenly woke up, and the voice of Tianzun disappeared in his ears, he raised his head and looked around, only to find that he was already sitting in the position of the "Fool", and the members of the Tarot Society, including Abner, were all present.
At this time, unlike in the past, it was Abner who took the lead in getting up and leading everyone to salute:
"Good afternoon, Mr. 'Fool'~ "Welcome back!
"Also, Klein, I wish you a happy birthday!"
As soon as he finished speaking, "Justice", "Magician", "Hanged Man", "Temperance", and all others stood up and saluted together, and repeated excitedly:
"Good afternoon, Mr. 'Fool'~ "Welcome back!
"Happy birthday to you, Klein!"
Seeing this scene, Klein's eyes suddenly moistened, he looked at "Temperance", at "Hanging Man", at "Justice", at the rest of the Tarot Society, and finally his eyes fell on Abner, so he also got up, dispersed the fog on his face, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said loudly with great joy:
"Welcome back too..." Mr. Tower!" (End of book)
