Chapter 505: Despair Undertones
800
“……”
Red blood flowed from the wounds of his only loved ones, and soon soaked through the long black gauze skirt, Antigonus's trousers and slightly longer hem, but there was no blood around him.
Because there is no one left to sustain dreams, to deceive the senses.
“…… Sister......? ”
Antigonus heard a sound like glass shattering, and there were inexplicable dark corners in front of his vision, directly above him, and even in many places—the dream world was a leisurely and comfortable afternoon, and the warm sun shone on the backs of the demon wolf siblings, which was Antigonus's favorite moment. It's still afternoon, night hasn't fallen yet, and there shouldn't be such irregular, abnormal dark corners.
Antigonus felt that the darkness was an eyesore, but he could not ignore it or erase it.
The whole dream world began to crumble, and its own night country, the vegetation and valleys of the Hornachis Mountains began to crack and shatter like paintings printed on glass windows.
The disillusionment of all this points to the only answer.
Until this point, no matter how much Antigonus used "illusions" and "symbols" to deceive himself, it was useless.
However, even Antigonus himself did not expect that he would be so calm at this moment.
So calm that even the spiritual fluctuations gradually subsided, calm enough that after he looked at the flowers and plants soaked under his feet and the blood of the two of them, he did not become angry or crazy, but calmly, calmly, hugged the head of the sister in his arms.
Even if the family he wanted to hug would no longer open their arms to Him, smile at Him, gently touch His head with a gentle voice and palms, or say a word to Him again—everything about his sister would only appear in Antigonus's wildest dreams, and Antigonus would never fall into any more dreams.
The best dream is over, and the man He was supposed to protect is dead.
Antigonus, who still has tenderness and affection, will also cease to exist with the death of the Mother of Heaven, and only "half a fool" will be left when he wakes up from his broken dreams.
It was a hug that Antigonus didn't want to let go, like a mountain was at the end of a road, as if he had reached the end of his rope.
Antigonus was the only one left with the two monsters who could only rely on each other and lick each other's wounds, and he woke up from a long dream, only to see his sister's death.
At this moment, the only thing Antigonus can be sure of is that this is the last time he will be able to hug his sister, because he is now sleeping somewhere, and his sister has died in Calderón, the "city of the dead" that he can't go to at all—even in a dream, he greedily wants the world to collapse more slowly, more slowly.
"Sister."
He hugged the head in his arms tightly and murmured hoarsely.
The black veil ran through his fingertips like water, and the blood flowed all over the wolf-like god, and the scene looked terrifying and terrifying.
"Sister......
Can't catch it.
Those times and my brothers and sisters are like pictures in memories, like quicksand in the palms of my hands. Antigonus closed his eyes, tears slowly falling from the corners of his eyes, and the last thing he tried to hold in his hands was finally destroyed before his eyes.
With His words, everything around him gradually fell silent.
The stained-glass world peels away and shatters piece by piece, revealing the dark and deep undertones of dreams. The laughter and melodious singing echoed in the Night Country, the statue of "Lord of the Night, Mother of Heaven" and the cathedral on the top of the hill were dissolved by the pervasive night, and the bright sunlight, the distant snow-capped mountains and plains, the turquoise forests and the jewel-like lakes at the foot of the mountains were all reduced to nothing. The good things melted away like the ice and snow of the smile, leaving only a dark darkness, and Antigonus was the only color in it.
"I already knew ......"
The thing that was embraced in the arms also disappeared as if it had never existed.
Antigonus hung his head, his heart empty.
He wanted to cry out loud but couldn't make any sound, he wanted to stand up in his dream, but the movement of getting up suddenly froze.
- After the collapse of the beautiful world, the reality of pain and despair followed.
It was as if the dusty secret had been punctured, the dusty door had finally opened, and it was as if a scabbed wound had been stabbed into a sharp sword, slashing at the bloody flesh. The past seized Him, seized Him dwelling on the past, the fear of fleeing for his life and the despair born of weakness captured Antigonus, and the memories that burst out of the embankment stretched out their arms from the darkness and choked the throat of the "half fool".
It is a career that even if he becomes the king of angels, he has to hide everywhere;
One day, someone came to visit the "Night Country", hoping that he, who was hostile to the goddess of the night, would join their side;
Under the towering black tower, the black emperor wearing a crown knighted himself;
It was finally able to get a respite, to finally be able to fall asleep without being comforted by his sister, to integrate into the human world for the first time as a nobleman, and to live a life of undercurrent but incredible harmony with the other angel kings in the adjacent path;
After agreeing to the suggestions of two colleagues, he took the initiative to become a bait to "become a god and attract the source castle";
It was He who failed, who was corrupted by the will of the Lord of Mysteries, who not only failed to become a god, but who he was getting worse and worse, and who he was gradually blurred, and the Mother of Heaven came to help Him, but because of her weak power, there was nothing she could do;
Finally, the eyes of the Mother of Heaven lost their lustre, and She was brought into sleep by the waters of the River of Eternal Darkness.
Antigonus' eyes widened sharply, and for the first time his face was so hideous that he could not cry that he could not cry, and he clutched the fabric of his chest with his hands, where his heart was beating with despair.
"Why wake up?" My sister's words seemed to echo in my ears.
yes, why...... Why wake up? What He wants, what He desires, is right in front of him, right around him, without fear that they will die out of his sight, or that he will cause disaster on them...... And when you wake up, you see only sorrow and not miracles, and you see only unrecognizable scars.
The past that I wanted to protect was trampled on, and it was pain in addition to pain.
"Because I already knew...... The weak don't deserve any miracles. ”
"Because I already knew...... They don't even want to give me a dream!! ”
Antigonus roared angrily, and he saw the outside sky, and saw the blinding silver-white light piercing through the cracks in his dreams, and the light stung his eyes and brought him to tears, and he reached out in spite of it, but he could not grasp even a drop of ash.
Outside, all the "soothsayers" heard an almost heart-rending wolf howl at this moment.
After the death-like howl of the beast, the spirits of the soothsayers, who were strong and not out of control, shook in unison, and almost at the same time, the thought of "I should go to Mount Honachis" was born.
And on the top of the mountain, the ancient and youthful Duke of Antigonus's brow was tightly knit, and the tears flowing from the corners of his eyes turned into spiritual flights, his eyelids fluttered, struggling to wake up, and a faceless white mask appeared directly in front of his face.
The aggregation began.
……
"It's a bit of a bad situation."
Edward reached out and grabbed the Mysterious Attendant Extraordinary Trait in his arms that wanted to fly away, and he felt an extraordinary shock from the spirit of the Extraordinary Ability, which was undoubtedly aimed at the one at the top of Hornachis.
Edward's expression was slightly unhappy, he wanted to suppress the extraordinary characteristics of the "Mysterious Attendant", but somehow stopped the action of the seal, and instead looked in Calderon's direction thoughtfully:
"Did Antigonus really wake up? It seems that the God of War has succeeded, really, a true god can drag on until today in the face of two opponents who only have the king of angels left...... If He had done it earlier, the death of the Heavenly Mother would not have had such a big impact on Antigonus. ”
"This guy should have become Antigonus' number one target by now!"
"It's better to block than to slacken, pressing that guy and not letting him take revenge will also attract his hatred, right? Demon of Knowledge, is there any way you can negotiate with Antigonus and ask him to stop after killing his enemy? Is God of War now starting to accommodate the extraordinary characteristics of the other two paths? ”
"You just don't want to be hated by the 'crazy half-fool' who is about to wake up, do you?"
"Of course, why don't I go and kill the God of War first to help him?"
The Demon of Knowledge didn't answer.
The demon of knowledge in Intis looked at Honakith in the distance, and his eyes were already showing nothing but the abrupt and terrifying huge vortex on the main peak of the Honakis Mountains - it was the embodiment of the convergence power in the occult connection, which in reality manifested as a sudden increase in the convergence power, but it was clearly presented in the eyes of this god who held the "secret".
Apparently, Antigonus, who had just shown signs of awakening, had realized the lack of his own extraordinary characteristics, and he knew that he had been a "half-fool" who was only one sequence one away from the position of the "fool" and the rite of godhood, and was now frantically calling for his extraordinary characteristics and another.
But it was far more than the "curtain" on Edward's "secret attendant" and "miracle god" Kotal, who was influenced by him, the whole world was affected by the supreme influence of this "soothsayer" path, and everything related to the "soothsayer" was frantically "pilgrimage" to Mount Honakis!
Just now, the demon of knowledge heard that three members of the Esoteric Order in the Church of the Creator next door had asked their superiors to go to Mount Hornachis within a minute, and they gathered in the office to their horror to find that their superiors were also writing leave notes.
The Demon of Knowledge temporarily took his eyes off the huge converging vortex on the top of Mount Honakis, scanned the spirit world, and used the "voyeurism" to see the entire spirit world clearly, and found that there were no special spiritual fluctuations in the spirit world at present.
"Very good, it seems that the 'Angel of Time' Amon is staying in the Source Fort now, as long as he is still there, the Source Fort that is not a completely ownerless thing will not be attracted by the aggregation of the 'Half Fool' for the time being......"
The old will may awaken in multiple targets at the same time, but there is only one essentia, and essentia will not be ripped around.
However, essentia without self-awareness has the potential to empower multiple targets at the same time...... However, for now, it is only natural that the "Angel of Time", who is only short of the godhood ceremony, is more attractive to Genbao than the "Half Fool" who is only the King of Angels.
The demon of knowledge grabbed the body of Crane next to him, who had also moved half a step in the direction of the peak of Hornachis under the influence of his instincts, and with the help of his secret magic, the connection between Crane and Bethel's will and their bodies was blinded and weakened. Their spirits are not compatible with the body and the spirits within them, which is equivalent to the demon of knowledge taking out two balls from two boxes and swapping their positions.
In other words, they now have a seal equivalent to the level of a true god and a seal equivalent to the level of an angel.
As a result, the "Miracle Master-level Seal" began to act autonomously, which meant that the Seal was also under the influence of Antigonus.
"...... 'Curtain' hasn't flown over with the 'Dark Demon Wolf' yet, and it seems that Kotal, who has spent a few years with 'Curtain', is not a complete straw bale, and can barely hold it through his role in Godforsaken."
There is about to be a chaos in the world, and the seals of the soothsayer's path, regardless of the sequence, will begin to impact the seals, trying to go to Antigonus's side - in the concept of the earth's extraordinary, becoming a god does not need to eat so many complicated characteristics of this path, but the "half-fool" who has fallen into the aggregation obviously can't care about so much, maybe even if the sequence flies, he will not stop the aggregation - integrating all the extraordinary characteristics of this path into himself and achieving "perfection" is also what many old days in the starry sky are happy to do.
"It's really a bit of a Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun...... It's a bit of a shadow of us. ”
The Demon of Knowledge thought, and suddenly a message appeared in his mind—"All the seals in the entire world have been strengthened"—and he didn't even have to digest the message to know that it must be Bethel and Crane doing it.
He snorted meaninglessly, then turned his gaze back to Calderón.
In Calderón, the god of war carries a blood-dripping sword, and the "secret" of the Mother of Heaven has been lifted.
Or that all the secrets of the world have been lifted, and the sea of God's War Ruins, the edge darkness of Godforsaken, and the ruins of the Night Nation in the Hornachis Mountains have all slowly returned to the real world with his death. And his body fell to the edge of the river of eternal darkness, as Antigonus had seen in his dream, and his head rolled to the ground, and the unique "veil of secrecy" still covered his head, but his face was no longer hidden. The blood of the Daughter of the Demon Wolf flowed into the river and was assimilated by the darkness without causing any waves.
The god of war is confronting the god of death, and after a thousand years, he finally showed the power of the "witcher", hunting the beasts of the adjacent path, and then aiming the blade at the survivors who survived with the power of "essentia".
"It's over."
The demon of knowledge felt that there was no need to look any further, the light of dusk began to condense on the long sword, and the god of death, who had already been pinned, was able to dodge the sword that cut him and the Mother of Heaven together was already exhausted, and he had no way to resist the attack of the god of war anymore.
At the same time, the Demon of Knowledge noticed that the symbol of the Mother Earth Goddess in the astral realm began to flicker and dim, and the light of the moon became more and more magnificent, and wondered if the Mother Earth Goddess would be able to hold out until the God of War could defend himself, if he would at all.
“…… It's time for you to get to work, I have two options. ”
The Demon of Knowledge exhaled.
"First, you go to the spirit realm and find a way to establish a occult connection with Amun, and then you release the secret acolyte in your hand and make Antigonus a god, and then let Amon steal his rite of enlightenment."
"It's dangerous, maybe the fraudster doesn't have the courage to do that."
"The second is that you go and talk to Antigonus...... In this regard, you are more professional and more suitable than me, aren't you? After all, you killed the Goddess of the Night, and in a sense, you are their benefactor, even though the Mother of Heaven is dead. ”
