【Alien】Section 1 Regulus (II)

Regulus sat up sharply, and found himself in a whirlpool, everything around him seemed to be turning, and he couldn't see it at all. He only knew that he had a dream just now www.biquge.info but he didn't remember the content of the dream at all, he remembered that he had drunk the archbishop's potion to travel from the other world to St. Lucas, but he didn't remember how he got to this place at all.

"What is this place?" asked Regulus, looking up at the sky, but when he looked up, he was not sure if the one above him was the sky, for the scene above it was also spinning like a whirlpool.

"This is the Otherworld, and it's my realm. With the voice, a human figure appeared in front of Regulus's eyes, but the figure seemed to Regulus as if his whole body was spinning, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

"Who are you?"

"I'm the Tenth Demon God, the Dream Demon God, you've just woken up from a long dream, but to my surprise, I can't control or see through your dreams, can you tell me what you dreamed of?"

"I don't know what dream I had, I just think that dream tells me that I have something very important to do," Regulus wanted to see the face of the demon god carefully, but the more he looked at him, the more dizzy he felt, so he had to look away from the so-called dream demon god, "Aren't you a demon god, why don't you come and attack me, the same kind of person who sealed you, to avenge them?"

"Of course I know what you've done, but Mistress Sehir is angry!"

Sehir ...... It's the woman who hurt Alyssa!" Regulus remembered the scene when Alyssa was cut in half by the discolored woman and fell into his arms, and his anger made him clench his fists, his nails about to dig into his palms, "Is she your head?"

"Demon gods also have their own ideas, I have no interest in the second 'Great Purge' initiated by Lord Sehir, I just want to manipulate everything in the dream world. He still spoke in that languid tone, slowly, making Regulus extremely impatient to listen.

"What does that mean?"

"Instead of caring about that, I should care about how you get out of the other world, tell you in advance that the passage of time here is chaotic, you are here for a few seconds, maybe a few years have passed outside, or maybe you have been here for a lifetime, but it is only a matter of a few minutes outside. You must have something important to do to make you go into the Atlas alone, right? You've been asleep for a few hours!"

"What?!no, I still have to go to St. Lucas, Luna is still waiting for me......" Regulus began to panic, he didn't even know how he got here, let alone how to get out, "Since you don't mean to be my enemy, can you help me get out of here?"

"I can't do that. Due to the influence of the gods, the only people who have the ability to open the gates of the Otherworld anywhere are Lord Sehir and the slain Dorag, and there is no other way for us to enter the mortal world through the gates that can only be forcibly opened by the outside world - as you did in Miller before, or through the ritual summoning of our followers to us. ”

"Doesn't St. Lucas have a portal to the otherworld? you can't open it?" asked Regulus, who was so desperate to get out that he had almost forgotten that the demon god in front of him was the enemy he was supposed to stop, and he hadn't thought about the consequences of having the demon god open the door for him.

"You'd know this. "But to open this door from the Atlas, you need the power you get from Dorag. ”

"Take me to the gate!" shouted Regulus, but he didn't know how to use the power of Dorag, he only remembered that Dorag could open a gap with a wave of his hand in the air, but no matter how much he waved, he could not react.

After Regulus proposed to let the dream god Shimus lead the way, he felt that all the next experience was like a dream, he didn't know how long he had been walking behind Shimus, and he had no impression of what he saw along the way, he only felt as if he had just said that he was going to the gate, and the next second he was already standing in front of that gate.

"This is the door you're looking for. Floating on the side of what seemed to be a misty cloud, he said to Regulus from the air, "Now put your hand on the door and open it." His tone became a little agitated and excited.

Regulus didn't know why he had obeyed the demon god, and after the demon god told him to put his hand on the door, he only felt that he should do what he said, and he felt that he was beginning to lose the consciousness of self-reflection and could not consider the consequences of any action. He slowly approached the door, put his hands on both sides of the crack in the door, and as soon as he put his hand on it, the clouds that made up the gate converged on his hands, instantly enveloping all of his hands, and he felt that these things seemed to be devouring the power in his body, and he only felt that he was getting weaker and weaker, and less and less powerful. He looked up at the dream god, and for the first time he could see his face, the corners of his mouth raised.

"Now, open the gate!" Regulus pulled his hands back as he finished speaking, and the cloud-made gate dissipated, replaced by a large hole and a glare coming from across the hole.

"Is that the earthly world......" Regulus and Vermeus said in unison.

Regulus ignored the dream god floating above his head, and quickly rushed out of the hole, only to feel a flash of bright light, and then he felt a wave of nausea, and then when his vision was clear, he found himself standing on the top of the tower of a strange castle.

"Here it is...... St. Lucas?" Regulus looked at the sky, and when he saw it, he was sure that this was no longer some strange space.

"Intruder! there are intruders!" a cacophony of shouts rang out behind Regulus.

"Was it discovered so soon? damn it......" Regulus was ready for battle, but as soon as he turned around, he saw a familiar figure - a man in the silver and white armor of the Knights was running from the back of the stairs, he was as serious as Regulus remembered, his whole body was dressed very neatly, but his face had a lot more wrinkles, and he looked much older than when he saw him a few days ago. I heard him shout as he ran towards Regulus—

"Regulus?!how could it be you!!Where have you been all these years?" said Knight Clark Steben.

"All these years?Clarke...... You...... Isn't this St. Lucas?......" Regulus was confused by what he saw, and the warriors who surrounded him behind Clark were all wearing Vasilian's light armor, but the style of their clothes seemed to be somewhat different.

"St. Lucas is a thing of the past, this is the second Duchy of Vasilian, the Duchy of Storm. "You've been gone for ten years." ”

"Ten years?!! no, no, I just delayed in the Otherworld for a few hours......" Regulus shook his head in disbelief, remembering what the demon god had said when he was in the Otherworld, that time passed in the Otherworld, "It's only a few hours, and it's been so long outside...... Where's Luna?

"Luna, who is Luna?" Clark wondered.

"Take me to Joshua, he knows what's going on, and I'll have to settle accounts with him!"

"Be careful!" Clark hurriedly covered Regulus's mouth with his hand, "You can't talk about this name here, he is now the lord of the Duchy of Storm, and he is the supreme leader here!"

"How...... What the hell has happened in these ten years......" Regulus only then noticed that the "Duchy of Storm" was bearing the surname of Joshua, "how did he become like this......"

Clark took Regulus and settled in the city, Regulus learned that the war with St. Lucas broke out ten years ago, this war lasted for five years, and finally under the mysterious power of Joshua, the son of God, and the Church of Light, he successfully annihilated the resistance of St. Lucas, and the entire continent of Shimothy was included in Vassilian's territory, and Joshua was appointed lord of the nascent principality from then on. As for Oden, after seeing that Vasilian had become so powerful, he also took the initiative to take refuge and became a vassal state. But Jareth vanished from Oden's refuge, and Regulus didn't hear anything about Luna.

Regulus spent months searching for Luna's whereabouts, but found nothing. The war is over, the demon god has not appeared, and the world is peaceful, but his heart is not at peace. He always felt that everything was too simple, and he always felt that he still had something very important to do, but no matter how he thought about it, he just couldn't remember the details.

One day, Regulus, as usual, went out to inquire about the news, and he came to the notice board at the gate of the city, hoping to see what he wanted to know from the notice. Then a blonde woman dressed as a maid caught his eye, and he began to see only the woman's back, which he felt a little familiar, and walked over to her. As he had just walked behind the woman, the woman suddenly spoke—

"What about your promise?" a familiar voice sounded, and the woman slowly turned her head. The large burn scar on the right side of her face, Regulus, would never forget, and he felt resentment in her tone.

"Luna!" Regulus said in surprise.

"You went to the Atlas that day and never came back. When the war broke out between Vasilian and St. Lucas, I was imprisoned as a spy, and I was subjected to more cruel and inhuman treatment every day than in the Pearl Courtyard, and I was finally released at the end of the war, but everything in St. Lucas was gone, and my last remaining hope was gone...... Why did you make that promise to me when you couldn't do anything, why did you make me have illusions?" Luna complained excitedly as she said something like a needle to Regulus's heart.

"I'm ......" Regulus didn't know how to answer, when he felt a chill and the approach of a man behind him-

"Because that's what he is, a self-righteous bastard!"

Regulus turned his head, and the next second he saw Kyales stab another ice blade into his chest......

"!!No," Regulus shouted, and then found himself "plopping" his whole body on the wooden floor, he rubbed his eyes, and found that he didn't have an ice blade on his chest, and there was no Koales by his side, and he wasn't at the gate of the "Duchy of Storm". He saw Luna, who was as young and petite as he remembered, running towards him, and Joshua, the gowned, worried-looking Archbishop. "-, is it still a dream...... No, it doesn't feel like an ordinary dream, I can't remember the dream in that dream at all, but I completely remember the details of the conversation with the dream god Shimus...... What the hell is going on......" Regulus thought to himself.

"Are you awake?" Joshua slowly lifted him up from the ground, and only then did he notice that he had been lying on the bench next to him, and that he must have rolled off the bench just now. He also noticed that Luna immediately turned her face away from him, deliberately ignoring him, pretending not to care about him at all.

"How long have I been unconscious?" asked Joshua.

"After you drank the potion I gave you, you probably fell into a coma for ten minutes. Joshua replied, and there were still beads of sweat on his face, which must have been caused by the fact that Regulus had fallen into a coma from drinking his medicine.

"Ten minutes?!, I feel like it's been more than ten years......" Regulus shook his head.

"How's it going? Do you feel any changes in your body now, can you use Dorag's abilities?" asked Joshua.

Regulus loosened his fist, he didn't feel anything unusual at all, but because of the previous dream within a dream, he vaguely felt that he had to do something, he thought about the prophecy he had read before, and began to say to himself: "The demon god is here, and the world is in chaos...... That's right, I have to stop the Demon God!"

"We've discussed this before, so it's up to you to go to St. Lucas from the Otherworld...... Joshua said.

"No, it's not that simple! I don't know why, but I just know it's not that simple......," Regulus shook his head, "and going the Otherworldly path doesn't work." ”

"Why?" asked Joshua and Luna together.

"Because the passage of time in the Otherworld is chaotic and disorderly, if I go to the Otherworld, maybe it will be a few years since I stayed outside!"

"How do you know? You haven't been to the Otherworld. Joshua looked confused.

"In a sense, I've been there. ”

"And what are you going to do?

"No, I have another solution, but you will not agree with this method, and you will even try to stop me. Regulus's words were mysterious, causing Luna to fall into a daze, watching the two of them go about a conversation she couldn't understand, "I'm going to Neil Cross." ”

"No!!" Joshua cried, looking shocked, unable to believe that Regulus would offer to seek help from the Church of Light.

"Is Neal the elder of the Church of Light, why not?" Luna interjected.

"You must not go to that person, if he knows your identity, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Give up, you can't stop me today, and Neil Cross already knows who I am, and he made it clear when he spoke to me in the tavern that day. Regulus motioned for Luna to leave with him, and he had just woken up from his dream with a purpose, but he also remembered the old man's conversation with him in the tavern, and he remembered that Neil Cross had said to him—

"Regulus, the reincarnation of the God of War, work with us and I will let you know all the answers you want to know, I will let you know the truth about the gods, and I will let you find the meaning of your life. If you need help, you can always come to us, you don't have to rush to give me an answer, but I am sure that you will make the right choice in the end. ”

When Joshua saw that Regulus was going to throw himself into the trap, he said that he would not let the power of the god of war fall into the hands of the Church of Light, so he decided to trap them with a spell. He took advantage of the two of them to turn around and urged the power of the hurricane's heart core to shoot the highest level of imprisonment art behind Regulus, but when the green beam was about to hit Regulus, the space behind Regulus was distorted for no reason, and the beam was sucked into a transparent space and disappeared.

"It's ...... Dorag's power!, it seems to be working!" Joshua sat on the ground, watching the backs of Regulus and Luna disappear from his vision.
