Chapter 492: The Door
787
Crane's heart throbbed violently a few times, and his expression changed from surprise to thought.
Call...... He exhaled, returned to his usual state, and habitually analyzed the message contained in this sentence in his mind:
In my guess, Mr. "Door" is indeed in a state of madness, and his abandonment of the call for help while calling for help is proof of his madness. However, judging from His current state, He is biased towards "not saving", that is to say, the crazy part is not He when he screams hard, but He who seems to be calm and can communicate with people rationally...... Can the latter influence the former in some way, distorting the content of His cries?
When he was sober, Mr. "Door's attitude" turned out to be 'don't save me'...... This is definitely not a normal reaction for an angelic king who has been banished and sealed away for more than a thousand years, unless he thinks that returning to reality will bring disaster that he himself does not want to see...... A king of angels who is completely out of control, even completely controlled by an outer god?
Combined with the fact that Mr. "Gate" wants him to contact the Abrahamic family, and that no matter who he communicates with, he will spare no effort to induce him to go to the moon occupied by the outer gods, there is another possibility in this matter:
"The exiled Mr. 'Gate' has no protection from the earth's barrier, has been eroded by one or even several outer gods, has lost most of his sanity, and is only in a slightly better state than the 'bound god'......"
"The 'Apprentice' path allows you to roam the starry sky in Sequence 3, and Mr. 'Gate' also has the title of 'Leader of the Endless Starry Sky' in his honorific name...... Does this mean that the king of angels may have been in contact with the outer gods and had been influenced to a certain extent before he was banished? ”
The more Klein thought about it, the heavier his heart became, because this might be a true manifestation of the coming of the end in some way.
The end is definitely not not not to think about it, pretend not to know, it will not happen!
It is no wonder that "Yellow Light" Venetam prophesied that the day the curse was lifted was the beginning of the real disaster for Abrahams...... and Mr. "Gate" kept calling for help, resulting in the Abraham family not being able to produce another demigod, perhaps in some sense of protection...... While this would have made the Abrahams lose their status and most of their precious things, becoming mediocre, at least the bloodline would be preserved...... Hehe, in that prophecy, the solution to the curse was in the hands of an "apprentice" who had been helped by a hidden being...... Crane chuckled.
Could it be that this "prophecy" made by "Huang Guang" more than 200 years ago is a precise point to him?
Could it be that in more than two hundred years, Seven Lights had foreseen that he, Crane, would help Firth before any other deity?
"I don't think so, it's not so much that I predicted the birth of 'Zhou Mingrui', but that I had a premonition that sometime after more than two hundred years, there will be changes in the Source Fort, and there will be a person related to the Source Fort who will become a high-ranking person...... And this high position will assist an apprentice? If the 'curtain' falls on me, and I become the Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun, and then call Mr. 'Gate' back to devour and end the curse, then isn't this 'the solution to the curse in the hands of an apprentice who has been helped by a hidden being'? Hehe......"
"It reminds me of a joke that 'if Harry Potter were a girl, then the whole book should be renamed Neville Longbottom.'"
Klein teased fate and prophecy in his heart for a while, calmed down, and looked back at Bethel Abraham in front of him.
After the initial scrutiny, Bethel only had a little disdain left in Klein's eyes.
"Who are you?"
Bethel asked without emotion:
"An angel in your twenties is indeed good, you have the qualifications to become a god. Is it a descendant of Antigonus, or a ghost of the Zarathus? ”
Either way, it smacks of impatience.
Obviously, even if the person opposite him at this moment is not the "Angel of Time" Amun, it should at least be a person like Antigonus, and it is a shame for him to eat Zarathu, and it is a shame for him to eat it for the "God of Wishes" Kotal.
And being defeated by his own junior pawn is even more embarrassing in the later season, and it is the extent that he is thrown into the river of eternal darkness and becomes a brand of death, and he will be laughed at by his former acquaintances. The king of angels in front of him didn't look down on the nameless sequence two that he had been brought to him by the demon of knowledge, and Klein could see that Bethel was not ready to be killed at all, but was paying attention to his every move, ready to eat himself.
In His eyes, even if there is a god as a backer, it is not worthy of fear.
"I am not a descendant of anyone."
"I'm a normal person," Klein said. ”
An ordinary person born in an ordinary family also hopes that he will continue to exist as a human being in the future.
"Ordinary people?" Bethel looked at him and accepted the answer, "But that's not what your fate is going to do. ”
The corners of Klein's mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of a smile:
"At the same time that I was chosen for my destiny, I was also choosing my destiny."
"If one day I lose myself, gradually lose my feelings, and watch the people around me leave one by one, then it is not much different from death. If this were my destiny, I would choose to take advantage of it, accept it, and do what I want to do. ”
Bethel's tone became a little softer:
"What do you want to do?"
Klein thought for a moment and said without hesitation:
"In the grand scheme of things, my greatest dream is to stop God's continuous efforts to build the 'Garden of Eden', to give humanity the freedom to become 'unbelievers,' and to allow everyone to choose the world and future in which they live...... Of course, these are too far away, and the premise for this is that I can live to the end, and think that I am me after I live to the end. ”
"At the very least, I want to save my friends and protect my believers, who are in danger."
Hearing this, Bethel temporarily took his eyes off Crane's body and looked at the huge blue planet behind Crane and the Demon of Knowledge - it was not the real Earth, and the real distance between Bethel in front of him and them was definitely not so close, this space was all symbolic images created by ritual magic, but it still reflected everything in the real world.
A faint starlight flashed in Bethel's pupils, as if a door had opened, and Mr. "Door" began to observe the current Earth.
Mr. "Door" raised an eyebrow.
He saw the Lord of the Storm, who was apparently getting taller, faster, and stronger, and He saw in the Lord of the Storm the symbol of the White Tower. The entire southwest of the Northern Continent was shrouded in the momentum of a tyrant, and the shape of the continent seemed to be slightly different from what I remembered. At the same time, the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" and the "Eternal Sun" of the previously obtained information have all disappeared.
Leodro made a move on the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" and became a true god of the dual path?
Mr. "Door" frowned.
He saw the sun in the eastern continent. An unprecedented "sun" is shining there, its light and heat like the body of a star falling to the earth. But Bethel could see clearly that even such a powerful spirituality and symbol was still before "sunrise"!
It could never be the Eternal Sun!
Could it be......
A flash of remembrance flashed in Bethel's eyes, and the bright sun and the eastern continent where the sunrise was located reminded him of some dead god, of the world of the past.
And His name was given to him by the one who said it was "the temple of God, the gate of heaven" in the ancient language.
- Fate slowly moved forward, fulfilling prophecies and blessings, but in the end it did not work out as He had hoped.
But if that is the sun god, why doesn't He wake up and let the sun rise? Then there is only one possibility, the demon of knowledge did not deceive himself, and that was not the sun god, but the ancient will, the incarnation of essentia, the primordial God.
Mr. "Door" had a puzzled expression.
Why did the goddess of the night become the king of angels? No, that seems to be ...... "Mother of Heaven"? How did He wake up? And who is that one in the Southern Continent? Death? The King of Angels level Grim Reaper? This old guy has actually emerged from the river of eternal darkness again?
The goddess of war, the goddess of the earth, the goddess of the night...... The sun is in the Eastern Continent, the Grim Reaper is in the Southern Continent, and the Northern Continent is in the Fifth ...... How can there still be a demon? That's the six gods, this is the Quaternary?
Bethel looked at Klein, genuinely curious:
"What year is it?"
Klein said truthfully:
"On November 30, 1350, there is still a month left before the New Year of 1351. I heard from the God of Knowledge that there is a way to bring you back to Earth, and if you go back now, you will be able to spend the New Year with the Abrahams in Trier a month later. ”
Bethel was stunned for a moment, his eyes changing slightly, but he didn't respond to the words.
"How do you want to eat me?" He was not influenced by Klein in the slightest.
"I didn't want to eat ......"
Of course, it is even more insulting to expect a king of angels who will soon become a god to reveal all of his extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness.
After reaching a cooperation, Crane held his trust in the Demon of Knowledge, hoping that the other party would indeed reproduce Bethel Abraham in the form of data after he lost his usefulness.
After all, Mr. "Gate" has been polluted by the outer gods for thousands of years and has never succumbed, was banished to the stars and imprisoned and sealed, but did not return to the earth for his own freedom, Klein has to admire the silence in the face of such perseverance.
But before Klein could finish speaking, Bethel interrupted him:
"You and I are adjacent to each other, there will always be a day when there will be a battle, you should feel unfortunate that you actually chose to meet me in the second sequence, I will not hesitate to eat you, to accommodate a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of the miracle master, it is not even a burden for me. If you're not prepared for a deathmatch, then - I won't miss a chance to destroy a future opponent! ”
As the words fell, Bethel Abraham lifted a finger and swiped it in the direction where Crane was.
In an instant, countless starlight burst out at his fingertips, as if a galaxy was drawn with a wave of his hand! The space where Crane was was suddenly distorted and torn to pieces, and Crane's figure was torn apart again and again, and the speed at which the space shattered far exceeded the speed at which his paper man stand-in could be used.
Bethel Abraham transmitted power through this summoning circle, directly tearing up the surrounding space, no matter how many paper figure doubles Crane had, it would be useless!
In just an instant, Klein was almost detached, but he immediately entered the fog of history, barely dodging.
Crane, who had suddenly died most of the spirit worms, only felt as if his head was about to crack in pain, and his state became unstable along with the violent fluctuations of reason. Klein smacked his tongue, and it seemed that he could not convince Bethel Abraham with just one mouth.
But think about it, it's the most naïve to look forward to yourself - why would people die for your wishes?
Crane shook his head and stumbled towards the depths of the fog of history, but he didn't go far, only walked to Intis ten minutes ago, and saw that the people of the Abrahamic family were gathering towards the Cathedral of Mysteries, and the demon of knowledge was there.
When he entered this history, the demon of knowledge in history looked at him.
"With my current strength, it is absolutely impossible to defeat Him." Klein saluted and said calmly, "Can you temporarily use an extraordinary ability similar to 'Stealth'?" I have an idea......"
The demon of knowledge in history looked at him, and his eyes became dull.
Bethel was about to say something to the demon of knowledge. But I saw that the stars in the sky suddenly changed the order of arrangement, reorganizing and changing at a dazzling speed, and the spiritual sky had a huge change, the stars were disordered, and waves of ion storms were constantly blowing in the universe, making the space crumbling.
Bethel's expression slowly became serious, he could look down with the mentality of an elder when he faced Crane, but not now, he felt that the world here was turning into a huge seal, and once it was formed, it would be countless times more stable than the cage of night and storm at the beginning!
He will be cut straight out of the "real" world!
Realizing this, Bethel immediately canceled the resonance with the summoning ritual and prepared to leave directly.
But at this moment, the great ritual that blocked the entire space was completed, and Bethel did not succeed in opening the door of escape.
Immediately afterward, His eyes became glazed.
The moment his consciousness returned, he first saw the appearance of an extremely unfamiliar place, which seemed to be a battlefield, and the people around him were engaged in a battle with extraordinary abilities, and the opponent was a dragon soaring in the sky.
Second, he found himself much weaker and unable to use his extraordinary abilities, and was imprisoned in the body of Sequence 2.
Bethel was just about to leave, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the clothes of these people—they were from the Tertiary Period!
The Fog of History...... The well-informed Bethel understood.
Suddenly, everything around seemed to be pressed the freeze motion button, whether it was a mid-to-low-level soldier who was fighting, a mid-level officer who was fighting each other with extraordinary abilities, or a demigod who was ready to attack, all fell silent.
Then they all turned their heads to look at Him.
The scene was eerily quiet.
Bethel's gaze swept over these frozen puppets, and he turned over the process of this battle from his own memory, and after confirming that none of them had a "miracle master" to participate in the battle, he immediately understood Crane's plan.
Without any hesitation, He raised his hand, and the ethereal voice of "I come, I see, I record" appeared along with the illusory book, and at the same time as the sound of turning the book sounded, a spiritual gate appeared behind Bethel - the spiritual gate did not open, because He was now in the fragments of the fog of history, and the spiritual world did not exist in the fragmented world!
Bang!
In the distance, the dragon entrenched on the top of the mountain suddenly flickered its wings and soared into the air, and a small figure stood on the dragon's back, manipulating the dragon's flight path like a mythical dragon knight. At the moment when Bethel's "record" was chosen, the dragon swooped down in front of Bethel, the golden dragon's eyes unleashing fear and dragon might.
"Flame spear."
The blazing white flames condensed into dozens of spears and struck at the dragon's head, and the dragon opened its bloody mouth, and under the deep night sky, an almost invisible transparent breath shot down from above, towards Bethel Abraham!
This dragon is the only angel-level existence in this battle, and Bethel doesn't believe that the miracle master will directly destroy the strongest secret puppet!
But he was shocked to see that after avoiding a few flaming spears, the mystical dragon just slammed into him like a giant bomb that could fly like a giant bomb!
Bethel was surprised, but he wasn't nervous, and while using the movement speed of the "traveling mage" to drain Crane's spirit, leaving a starlight trail along the way, he turned the pages in front of him again, one of the rather textured pages became transparent, and a shadow with three heads slowly coalesced, and the three heads opened their mouths in turn, about to spit out filthy words.
"Dragon Knight" Crane saw the huge shadow in front of him, and he immediately stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers vigorously.
"A miracle of restoration"!
This was the first wish that the people of Silver City and Moon City had made to the "Fool", and it was the only miracle that Crane could use now.
"I wish that the records of Bethel Abraham will be restored!"
In Bethel's hand, the pages that had become completely transparent were recolored, and the shadows had a tendency to return to the book.
If it weren't for the enemy, Bethel wouldn't mind complimenting Klein for his quick wit, but at the moment he just calmly looked at the "miracle master" who was rushing towards him, revealing a sneer.
All of a sudden, all of a stray track lit up, forming a huge seal that enveloped Crane in it!
At the same time, Bethel gracefully floated out of the confines of the seal, and at the same time unleashed more than two pages of extraordinary records abilities, ready to completely kill Crane in the mists of history.
If he kills Klein here, he will be able to accommodate the extraordinary characteristics of the other party in reality and obtain the resurrection of the "miracle master"!
At that time, there is no need for him to be with the demon of knowledge, and even if he accepts the other party's conditions, he can be resurrected and return normally.
Crane was shocked when he saw this—he didn't know enough about the "apprentice" - and immediately, he gritted his teeth, and the huge army of Extraordinary Secret Puppets that controlled his rear rushed straight up, one after another, and the extraordinary abilities unleashed by Bethel were wiped out one after another, and Crane fought such a rich battle for the first time. Just as the seal was about to close, he stood up from the dragon's body, ran all the way down the dragon's spine to the head, and rushed straight in the direction of Bethel!
He stepped on the dragon's head, and the dragon puppet took advantage of the situation to raise his head and lift him high!
Bethel's figure swayed, but didn't move, just watched Crane lunge towards him.
Seeing that the distance was not enough, just as Crane began to fall, a bird suddenly appeared at his feet, and he stepped on the pedal and soared into the air, grabbing Bethel by the collar.
Bang!
The dragon fell to the ground and was sealed by the seal, and Crane grabbed Bethel and fell to the mountain, rolling around several times like a normal person.
Bethel loses "Roaming", and Crane grabs the other's spirit thread the moment he grabs him.
If in reality, a "traveling mage" is grabbed by the "miracle master" and directly touched by the spirit thread, then there is a high probability that he will not last long, and if he does not have the ability to uncontrol, he will quickly become a secret puppet. But Bethel's personality is still higher than that of Crane, and even now that he has been pulled into the fog of history, Crane still feels that his "secret coupling" may fail at any time, as if it has become a control skill, not a nirvana.
The two are at a stalemate, neither can completely control the other, and neither can get rid of the other.
The illusory record reappeared, flipped to the flames.
Close quarters are a mortal danger for the "Miracle Master", so Bethel was surprised by Klein's pounce, and even waited motionlessly for the other party to approach him.
At this moment, Bethel suddenly saw Crane's expression relaxed, and seemed to be relieved.
"I'm sorry, Mr. 'Gate', I rushed to save my friend, I can't waste time, I can only win you temporarily in this way."
Bethel's spirit moved, and he pinched the page, not releasing the angelic-level flame in it.
In the next moment, Bethel saw a strange ritual magic symbol light up on Crane's body, and then, his perspective changed abruptly, and after a flip, Bethel saw his own face!
No, it wasn't He who saw His face.
It was He who was imprisoned in Crane Moretti's body!
Unfamiliar with the manipulation of the "Spirit Thread", he was easily released from control by Crane, who had been prepared for a long time, and then, Bethel looked at him and smiled at him, and his figure suddenly faded and disappeared into the fog of history.
The next moment.
The Demon of Knowledge looked up and saw Bethel Abraham's fingers in his own seal in the distance flick and twitch for a few seconds as if he were familiarizing himself with the body, and then Bethel Abraham landed steadily from mid-air to the ground, a smile of surprise on his face.
"Time is limited."
The Demon of Knowledge understood: "Follow the summoning and walk back." ”
Bethel Abraham, or Klein, who had temporarily controlled the body, nodded, and as he quickly became familiar with the extraordinary power of the "Gate" path, he stepped out of the seal of the Demon of Knowledge and stepped on the summoning circle.
In an instant, countless "doors" opened in front of Klein's eyes, and these doors led to any part of the earth, to any part of the universe!
As long as He wants, the world is so great that there is nowhere to go.
The red moon behind him shone brightly, but Crane didn't care in the slightest.
He walked through the door he had opened with his own hands, ran all the way along where he had come from, stepped on the long staircase of starlight and endless colors, and passed through endless time and space—and it was only at this moment that he realized how close and far away Mr. "The Door" was to Earth.
Close to the horizon.
The Zenith Square of the Cathedral of Mysteries.
A few Abrahams, who were huddled together in the cold wind of the night to guard the summoning array, were whispering, and suddenly, the black "door" standing in the middle of the summoning circle with a pitch-black center suddenly burst into a burst of starlight!
The sky then lit up, illuminating the whole of Trier.
In an instant, the sky went dark again, but it seemed that one faint starlight after another condensed into a ball of light, condensed into a sea of stars, and when you looked closely, the starlight seemed to be formed by a curved worm, just looking at it, it made people dizzy.
The stars in the sky were like a dazzling welcome ceremony, and in the expectant and fearful gaze of Abraham's people, a figure composed almost entirely of starlight appeared in front of the dark "door".
The figure slowly coalesced, and the starlight covered his body like a splendid robe woven of stars.
He seemed curious, and waved his hand gently.
Bang Dang! Bang Dang!
In an instant, the wind swept across the earth, and all the doors of the whole world were opened!
