Chapter 459: Out of Control on the Spot
752
The frozen dusk changed, and the brilliant sunlight illuminated every corner.
Colin and Lovia observed the changes here with a little curiosity, and paid more respect to the oracle.
After doing all this, Crane hurried back to their side, and the three-person team walked towards the front of the "Court of the Giants" with Medici, who was following him as if he were on a walk.
Passing through the many facilities and plazas, they entered a large hall and a large door appeared in front of them.
On both sides of the palace, with minarets on one side and round towers on the other, the ancient and heavy style and symbolism of the giants reminded Klein of the "tall towers" of both Silver City and Moon City. The main entrance is covered with symmetrical and mysterious symbols with a gray-blue background, and the overall height is far more than ten meters.
And on the left side of the crack in the door, three or four meters high, there is a pitch-black hole, which is the size of an adult's fist.
After briefly checking the surroundings for danger, they followed the railing made of stone pillars and walked all the way to the tallest and most magnificent building inside the "Giant King's Court", and came to the front of the door.
"The Lord has given me the key to open the door."
Taking a deep breath, in his expectant eyes, Klein took the initiative to take a few steps forward, and dragged out Enyuni, who had once belonged to him.
In fact, the secret puppet was not damaged, it was said that it was, because now Enyuni was left by him in the mansion of Dawn Dantès, and left to the control of Richard Ernst, who was a "living corpse", after all, this is Dantès's personal valet, and it is an important part of the rich Dawn's personality.
And even with historical projection, he didn't want to open the door himself!
Glancing at the slightly sluggish Enyuni, Crane grabbed another handful in the air and grabbed the giant black iron key that he had seen from Edwina, the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg". As early as that time, he complained in his heart, "This size is estimated to be a key that only giants can use", but he didn't expect it to become a prophecy.
The twilight glow was like a substance, covering the surface of the palace, bringing a strong sense of decay, as if everything in the world was about to come to an end.
It reminded Crane of something familiar, that on the island watched by the Mother Tree of Desire, he had seen a hidden being display similar powers on the day he killed Ince Zangwill. Like a breeze blowing, the grass and trees are dyed dead yellow and white, the youth becomes old and rotten bones, and everything is in ashes.
But - it should be a manifestation of "adjacent pathways", right? Why is that guy actually a "demon"?
Why didn't He get out of control? No madness? Didn't you completely lose your mind like the old gods?
It's incredible. Klein frowned, he vaguely felt that his mysterious worldview had been shaken again, and "out of control" had become elusive again. But in front of the two of Silver City, he didn't intend to say these strange things.
He handed the black iron key to Enyuni, and was about to manipulate him out of the hall, when suddenly a string of footsteps came behind him, and Medici actually walked up to him, and with one hand took the large and amazing key from the hand of the secret puppet, and carried it lightly on his shoulder.
"I'll open the door."
He stared at the keyhole, his voice low.
"What's the danger behind the door?" Klein immediately asked.
The red angel tilted his head:
"I told you when I came that if you walk through the door, the guy will notice you immediately. The back door is a door, and the front door is also a door. He had slept in a moment of stillness, but now he would wake up once he was connected...... Or, He has woken up and is just waiting for us. β
Colin, Lovia, and Crane all thought of the evil spirit of the "Dark Angel" sleeping in the royal court, and Crane followed with a strange doubt.
- Why didn't the Medici call him a "dark angel" when they were all in front of each other?
Medici stared at the door for a few seconds, then lifted the lyre-like black iron key with one hand and leaned it towards the deep hole in front of him.
They fit together so well that they don't leave a single gap.
As the giant black iron key sank into the deep hole, Klein in the hall held his breath, ready to take refuge in the fog of history.
With a thud, the black iron key touched the bottom.
It suddenly became soft, as if it merged with the hole, and bloomed with gray-blue light one after another.
The various symbols, logos and patterns on the folio gate are lit up and highlighted.
All the light quickly intertwined, and pressed heavily inward, allowing the gray-blue main entrance of the palace to slowly open.
The crack in the door grew wider, and everyone except the motionless Medici craned their necks to look inward with unquenchable curiosity, watching the epic scene. Suddenly, their eyes reflected a turbulent, pitch-black, viscous, illusory ocean at the same time.
After less than a second of stunnedness, Colin closed his eyes, and Lovia suddenly melted uncontrollably into a pool of shadows, and the shadow that was close to Colin contracted violently, as if the existence behind the door made her feel extreme fear, and as if she instinctively worshipped the strong.
Not good...... Crane's heart moved, and a strong sense of danger surged through his mind. Without any hesitation, he immediately severed contact with his secret mate Enyuni.
In the next second, his eyes suddenly darkened, and there was a sharp pain in the left side of his head, as if someone had inserted it with a red-hot iron drill, constantly stirring.
At the same time, an indistinguishable murmur echoed in his ears, as if from an era older than the old.
Klein's expression instantly distorted, looking extremely hideous.
At this moment, blazing white flames erupted in front of everyone's eyesβonly infinite shadows behind the slowly opening door, and some ancient and terrifying being opened its eyes. And the red angel stood in the way of that door, and the flames of war split the shadows like a reef.
"Sure enough......" Medici grinded his back molars slightly.
He was about to continue doing something when he suddenly felt pain in both of his cheeks, as if something had torn flesh. His eyes were open, but now it felt like another person had opened his eyes inside Him!
"Yo!" The unusually familiar voice of a certain Medici rang out with a deep sense of consternation, "I'm not dead yet?" β
"The Twilight Giant Hall?" One of Medici's eyes turned strangely on its own, observing its surroundings and making an incredulous voice: "No! This is the prototype of the Dusk Giant Temple! β
β*οΌβ
The voice said, "What the hell is this place?" Medici, can't you die quietly by yourself with a **** thing? β
Medici covered his face, the flesh of the bloody wound wriggling his toothed tongue, and before he could think about why the two consciousnesses that had long been silent had revived, suddenly a strange wind came from behind his ears, and Medici turned sharply to find that his feet were empty, and his shadow straightened up from the ground.
The shadow was already very different from the silhouette of Medici's figure, and a layer of shadow became blurred, as if a curtain was covering his facial features. Medici's straight hair began to shorten, draped over his shoulders, and curled slightly.
Pairs of black wings spread out on its back.
Two slanted slits appeared in the area where they belonged to the eyes, and a faint light shone through the gaps, as if the shadows were about to open their eyes.
"! What's that......"
Sauron's roar quickly faded to a faint shadow, as if stunned by the shadows, and the conquerors lost their voices.
And the next moment, the shadow was cut into countless pieces by the sword light, and wriggled back to Medici's feet, reforming his shadow.
"Fool, who will give Him a chance to open his eyes?"
Medici's face was not pretty, either, and he responded to Sauron's words as he pondered how the two wills, who had been driven to sleep by him long ago, had crawled out again. To be honest, Medich didn't like this feeling, as when Sauron and Einhorn appeared, he was always forced to recall that he was the dominant consciousness in the "Red Evil Spirit of the Three Conquerors", not the "Red Angel".
Tut...... It's true that I haven't been fully resurrected yet, because there is no way to resurrect these two spirits alone......
Medici turned irritably, reached out and covered the mouths on either side of his cheek, and by the peculiarity of this flesh, when he removed his hands, the two new bloody mouths had completely disappeared, but the voices of the two in his head did not disappear, but intensified.
Didn't the big snake give me good luck? I've been suppressing them for months, so why did they suddenly appear at this time?
Is the good fortune gone, or is it ...... The guy inside did it on purpose?
After all, the awakening of the two cohabitants was definitely not good news for him, and when they were asleep, Medici was the complete sequence one, and at most he was mentally weakened. But when they wake up, they naturally take away some of their strength, and their part of them becomes weaker.
Silently, the churning shadows inside the door temporarily subsided, and the orange-red light shining in from the outside was dyed with gold and became quite brilliant, which made the entire "Giant Court" seem to retreat from dusk to noon.
Medici's heart moved, and she looked back at the door in front of her.
It was dark inside the door, and it was impossible to see what was there.
He turned to look at Crane and the others, but unexpectedly made eye contact with Crane's secret companion Enyuni who had left in front of the door.
Medici was stunned for a moment, and looked over to Klein, who was half-kneeling at the edge of the hall behind him, only to see that the orange dusk light was shining through the window, failing to create a shadow next to Crane.
It was empty, missing the shadow that should have existed.
At the same time, Enyuni, who was standing not far from Medici's side, suddenly showed a meaningful smile, and its body suddenly collapsed, and with the shadow under its feet, it quickly "swam" into the door.
ββ¦β¦β
Medici's pupils dilated, and then he realized that he was not the real target of the other party.
β¦β¦
The sharp pain of being stripped of a layer of skin made Klein almost lose his voice, and the old whispers echoed in his ears.
He hunched his back in agony, barely able to maintain his sanity, but he didn't have the strength to think anymore.
It seemed that someone was talking in his ear, and it was as if there was just a pair of golden eyes looking at him coldly, he had never seen such eyes, like Adam, and there was some difference, like the real Creator, but the True Creator never looked at others like this. Just as his consciousness was blurring in severe pain, those eyes suddenly said:
"Mysterious!"
Rumble!
It was as if the bell had been struck, and the shock of his soul made Crane suddenly wake up, and with a snap, the half-height silk top hat on his head fell to the ground.
After a few seconds, Crane finally relented, slowly straightened up, and set his eyes on a glass window made of ground orange gemstones.
The window vaguely reflected his current appearance:
Bounded by the bridge of the nose, the right side of the face is the same as usual, and there are countless things crawling in and out of the left side of the face.
Klein's eyes narrowed slightly.
He took a deep breath, calmed down, and regained control of the "Joker".
His mind then sketched out his clear appearance:
Dressed in a black trench coat with black hair and brown eyes, Gelman Sparrow had the right side of his face as usual, and the left side had become translucent, made up of twisted worms.
With his head down, his neck was in a similar state, as was his body that was hidden by clothing.
Runaway Edge ...... Hiss, it is necessary to fight against strong madness tendencies...... This, why is that? Crane suddenly felt something, and instinctively lowered his head and looked at his feet.
His shadow was gone.
"Haha......"
The moment he thought of the answer, Klein hunched his back and let out a violent laugh uncontrollably.
"What's going on?"
He felt that his emotional "valve" seemed to be broken, his spirit was in an unusually high state, if it was normal, Klein would only feel vigilant and began to think of countermeasures, but at this moment he actually made a performative exaggerated laugh at something that had no laugh at all.
But what's even weirder is that Klein feels like he's thinking clearly, laughing happily, and desperate to do something.
Not far away, Colin slowly got up, and Lovia regained her human form, Colin was not harmed, and the latter seemed to be in a trance. At this moment, the two of them looked at the oracle who was laughing and his shoulders were trembling, and they didn't know whether to step forward to help or be on the spot.
In their eyes, the divine envoy, which was originally profound and not to be underestimated, suddenly became very terrifying, and it was a very terrifying kind!
Even a normal extraordinary, after this level of abnormal physical transformation, can be regarded as a monster!
Medici looked at the two of them, and finally strode up to Crane and told him what had just happened.
"That's ...... so"
"What an incredible means!"
Crane nodded, he also suspected that the "sea water" gushing out of the Giant King's palace not only "drowned" his secret puppet and historical projection, but also cut off his own shadow with the help of the latter, causing his spirit to lose its integrity and no longer be able to completely suppress the tendency to get out of control.
As long as that shadow is removed, the problem will be solved...... Crane's right forehead twitched, and his back straightened.
But the corners of his mouth were still twitching, and it seemed to rise at any moment.
"Performative personality?" Medici casually made a joke and livened up the atmosphere, "Is there going to be a magic trick next?" β
"Magic? Hehe, that's a great idea indeed. β
Crane uncharacteristically echoed Medici's words, even winking at him and bowing like a magician in a pompous opening salute. Seeing Colin and Lovia's somewhat heavy expressions, he couldn't help but laugh a few times, as if amused by the audience:
"You should be glad I can still control myself, or you would have lost your mind by looking me in the eye."
As he spoke, the transparent worms on the left side of his face and the left side of his neck were still crawling slowly, and under the clothes on the left, there were raised marks appearing, wriggling slightly, making people's scalps tingle.
Although "Joker" and "Magician" are both performers who delight others, they don't feel happy at all.
ββ¦β¦ Are you okay? Colin asked politely.
"Good, I'm fine."
was questioned so seriously, Klein also rubbed his face, and in a blink of an eye, he returned to his usual state, but his voice was still soft:
"I've never felt like I'm in such good shape...... You see, I'm in a normal state of mind, I'm just a little emotionally unstable, and on top of that, I've felt like I'm almost out of control more than once, and it's all bad, and now, it's the best one for me. β
Klein raised his left palm, covered his left cheek, and smiled:
"There will always be all kinds of unexpected things in life, and I hope I can get used to this feeling as soon as possible and not cause you trouble."
Colin Iliad looked at Gelman Sparrow, then at the Red Angel, and when he saw that the latter shrugged his shoulders, he did not discern whether the divine envoy was suitable to continue his actions now, but said calmly:
"Then let's move on."
He had already pulled out the two straight swords he was carrying, poured oil on them, and covered them with the morning light.
"No problem." Crane turned around with a smile and walked around the left side of the huge stone staircase with the three demigods of Silver City.
After walking for a while, they saw the familiar rugged path, with a towering cliff on one side and bottomless clouds stained with the midday sun on the other.
At this moment, Klein and the others felt the vibration of the ground, and saw a large amount of illusory, pitch-black gas gushing out from the depths of the golden clouds.
With a bang, the rugged path collapsed and plunged into the dark "water".
Beneath the "water", there seems to be an invisible whirlpool lurking.
"Haha, it's collapsed!"
"No way, it seems that this angel doesn't want us guests to visit him, haha!"
"What now? Shall we go back the way we came, and come back with gifts? β
Crane hunched over with laughter, laughing at Colin, Medici, and Lovia.
"I'm sorry."
After another two seconds, Klein smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said to the other three with complicated expressions in a serious manner:
"I'm sorry, I didn't control myself. But rest assured, I won't be like this again. β
TBC

The Demon of Knowledge and Old Love: What is this for, it's too weird.
I can't get the comments out again, right, I really can't stand it.
