Chapter 522 - Need a Helper?
817
"You really promised." The outer god nervously grabbed a handful of popcorn, "It's so exciting." β
It seems that the sound of someone angrily scolding him for watching the play began to echo in his ears, probably a delusion.
Crane, who didn't get an answer from the Lord of Mysteries at the first time, looked up in shock at the guy who suddenly spoke.
The other party seems to have compressed his sense of existence to the extreme, producing an effect similar to "psychological invisibility", so before the other party took the initiative to speak, he didn't notice that there were other people in this square at all!
"What do you want me to do?" The outer god stuffed popcorn into his mouth and asked, "Look at yourself." You can immediately be like the male protagonist in those cool articles written by Russell, get the opportunity to become stronger instantly, and fly directly with extraordinary characteristics with a raised arm, are you happy? β
"You're wondering why I'm here? Because you were taken away by the demon of knowledge too quickly, directly from the sea to the inland, I can't catch up, just swam from the sea. After finishing speaking, seeing that Klein was still staring at him with a hellish look, the outer god simply sent the popcorn in his hand over, "Why are you still looking at me, the new product of the improved popcorn machine of the Church of the Mystery is quite sweet, try it?" β
Klein subconsciously glanced at the popcorn.
It's really freshly baked, and it's still steaming, and the caramel-colored shell is mouth-watering, and it looks very delicious.
No, no, no, is now the time to think about this??
Klein felt his emotions break down a little - I was talking to Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun seriously about survival or death one second, why would I see you eating popcorn here the next second? Why did the demon of knowledge reproduce this? - Every time this guy appears, it seems that he will break up the ideas he has brewed at the time, and he can't help but feel the urge to give up thinking.
"I didn't promise to go out just now?" He thought hard, "Why didn't Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun speak anymore?" β
While he was thinking, the uninvited god picked out a few sweetest popcorn and stuffed them into his mouth, and said to him with a smile:
"I've made Antigonus feel better for the time being, so I'm going to hide myself again. And there are several loopholes in the conditions that you have just been secretly given to you, but you hastily agree to the worst of your own imagination, and He has not even fooled you. β
"I'm sorry, I've been following you and listening to you, but I didn't mean to get involved between the two of you."
Klein opened his mouth, feeling speechless once more.
"First, He confuses the concepts of 'madness' and 'divinity.'"
The outer god, who symbolizes the "mystery and possibility of decay", chewed the popcorn in his mouth and spoke very quickly, as if he was in a hurry:
"In your human minds, you will become 'crazy' because of the so-called 'divinity' and the inability to contain the forces that cause the body to collapse. And divinity is nothing but the nature of the primordial will, and He says not to make you crazy, but only to increase your divinity, which is actually the same as not saying. Oh, if you confirmed to Him in advance that the physical collapse and the disappearance of the will is crazy, then you can take me as if I didn't say it. β
"But you didn't."
"Then there's 'Until the day you're defeated by God' - although this was the first time I've seen mystery, I'm really a guy who is good at manipulating concepts." God' is nothing more than the will of the Sea of Chaos, the primordial omniscient and all-powerful, and what is the will of 'God' as defined by Him, or is it the complete omniscient and all-powerful? These two are very different, if it is the former, whether it is the God of Thunder or the guy sleeping in the depths of the Eastern Continent, you can't actually beat it, right? As long as you are defeated, then the mystery has a reason to take your body. β
β¦β¦ Do these words make sense to me? Whether he grasps the loophole or not, the Lord of Mystery may be resurrected in Amon or Bethel at once, which is nothing more than the difference between the destruction of the world in a moment, and the destruction of the world with me struggling for a while......
Crane felt a little irritated and looked up at Him:
"So you're not going to make me agree to that condition?"
"You promised, you already promised." The withered god yawned, "How can I interrupt your deal?" I just can't bear to see you being cheated like this, so I wanted to ask if you need some small help. β
"Help?"
Klein heard the word again, and he was so skilled that he had no sorrow or joy: "I don't know what your conditions are?" β
"Until then, you can hear what I'm here for."
The outer god cleared his throat: "You already know who I am, I am very sorry for your two deaths, but please do not ascend to the main body of the doppelganger, after you become a mysterious attendant, these times will be refreshed." β
Klein opened his mouth, his expression contorted in a complicated way, and he didn't know for a moment whether it was the other party's calm and weird expression that shocked him more, or the good news that "the mysterious waiter can refresh the number of resurrections" came more unexpectedly.
"You can think of me and Him as one or as two people...... He is a dead brain, and it is impossible to give up his purpose until the last moment without going against you. But when I realized that the birth of the Lord of Mysteries seemed to be unstoppable by such brutal means, I decided to intervene and see if I could get some help through you. β
"Are you the ontology?" Klein had a strange expression, "Edward Vaughn is much stronger than you, you don't even look like a demigod." β
"Whoever is essentia is the ontology."
"He is indeed stronger than me now, but it can't change the fact that I am the essence."
The withered god shrugged: "As for my powerβah, it's a safer way to transfer power in the starry sky, giving some of my power directly to a specific individual. The only limit to this giving is the physical strength and adaptability of a particular individual, which is generally used to explore the unknown environment, and you will learn from it in the future. So killing me won't give you extraordinary traits, but my power is much more than a demigod. β
Klein was a little interested in this particular way of giving powers, but not much.
He nodded briefly, then asked:
"What do you want from me?"
β¦β¦
Sallinger trudged by the river of eternal darkness.
He repeated the process of the last time, trying to break free from the river, only to be uncontrollably dragged to the bottom by the "river of eternal darkness". Soon, however, a new Sallinger reappeared some distance from the River of Eternal Darkness, returning to the stele with the bronze statue of the giant bird, and descending the gray stone staircase.
He was expressionless, repeating the process as if he were dying again and again. And He no longer knew whether He was dead or alive.
It didn't take long for Salinger to reach the end of the staircase again, and to see the "River of Eternal Darkness" flowing through nothingness, the pale pillars on either side of it, and the countless vague figures hovering at the edge of the tributaries.
His memory lingered on the time when He forcibly contained the identity and uniqueness of the Heavenly Mother, after which His will sank into darkness. When He "awakens" again, He has already begun to repeat the cycle of being flooded by the river and returning again. From this point of view, Sallinger felt that he should not have succeeded in accommodating uniqueness and sequence one, but he did not fail either. Probably because there was enough connection between Him and the River of Eternal Darkness, and now he was by the river, so His half-dead appearance led to this strange state.
Forward, get out of the stairs, get close to the water of that tributary, and bend down.
The river rose silently.
Not surprisingly, as his body approached the waters of the "River of Eternal Darkness", pale palms immediately pierced through, grabbed his legs and arms, and engulfed Sallinger once more, turning gray and dark.
Countless death marks surfaced around him, once again dragging the man between life and death to the bottom of the river.
He was caught headfirst down, and the deep dark waters flooded his head, leaving his body cold and his mind silent.
His thoughts stopped.
In a moment, Salinger reappeared.
He closed his eyes, did not open them for the first time, remembering what was in the illusory watersβHe could not help but look at the great shadow.
It was a giant bird that had been completely submerged by a tributary of the River of Eternal Darkness and was suspended in the water.
The giant bird's body was covered in feathers woven from pale flames and mystical patterns, but most of its body had been melted away by the River of Eternal Darkness, revealing parts of its dark, decaying, yellowish pus-covered skin.
The eyes of the giant bird seem to be cast in bronze, and there are layers of illusory doors hidden inside.
Grey Carrie, the ancestor of the immortal birds.
The ancient god of death who opened up the underworld was also the object of Sallinger's allegiance.
When they looked at each other, Gregalet's eyes burst with bronze light, and they wanted to drag him along with them.
Sallinger didn't know if this guy was dead or dead, and it stands to reason that this old guy who had been dead for three eras should be dead no matter what he said, not to mention that all of his resurrected hands had been cleared by himself. - Don't even think about returning to the things that have died because of the power occupied, and he used the authority of the "door" to open up the prototype of the underworld, which is the greatest reward to this world.
Sallinger felt that even if she dragged herself down, Gregaard would not be able to resurrect, it was just a life-destroying instinct.
It's not that there are no guys in the Old Gods who have accommodated the adjacent paths, but they are just a little less crazy and more sensible, and they are still extremely unstable Old Gods.
And his mind is also very clear now, but his body and mind are a little blurred, and he doesn't know what he is going to do.
The danger in the water seems to be a little greater...... The immortal Gregaret has completely sunk into the "River of Eternal Darkness", and Sallinger doesn't want to know what the fate of being fused with the other party will be, he is still obsessively trying to find a way to live. The uniqueness of the "Grim Reaper" path is also somewhat special due to the existence of the River of Eternal Darkness, and after the next Grim Reaper accommodates the uniqueness, the previous one will sink into the river.
It was his descendant Thea Eggers who replaced him, and now that the Grim Reaper has been used, Sallinger has to choose Hetel or Azik if he wants to save his life...... But these two resurrected hands of only angels mean nothing to Him, His purpose is not to survive, His hiding and keeping a low profile have always been to wait for further opportunities in disadvantaged situations.
How do I get out of here?
Unless you push a man down and let him sink to the bottom of the river in his place......
As a substitute for the dead, both Azik and Hetel will be fine, but what exactly does it take to get the message out?
This time, he saw a figure hovering across the river of eternal darkness, a dull-looking Mother of Heaven briefly emerging from the mist on the other side of the river, and then swallowed again. Her eyes had lost their sparkle from death, and she had lost perception of everything around her.
In his thoughts, Sallinger was once again attracted by extraordinary properties and came to the river, and sank again.
β¦β¦
"I want you to kill Him." Said the withering god.
"And the help I can give you will change depending on the situation. If the secret allows your will to awaken in you, I can find a way to help you alleviate it, and if you encounter 'God', I will find a way to keep you from encountering 'God'. β
I kill myself? Do you have a grudge against yourself? And this condition is quite generous in a sense...... Klein frowned, being able to suppress the awakening speed of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun's will, this is a kind of extraordinary ability? I heard that Antigonus fell asleep because of the River of Eternal Darkness, and if my will is really uncontrollable, I may also consider obtaining some water from the River of Eternal Darkness so that I can sleep with Him.
"Aren't you alone? What good will it do you to kill Him? β
"It's been so good for me."
The withering god smiled, as if he didn't care about all this: "He killed you twice, so it's normal for you to kill him." I can even help you in this regard, because as long as I don't want to, He can't share in my authority and essentia power, which greatly weakens His judgment about the future...... By the way, it doesn't matter what you call Him like, because I just want to get His extraordinary qualities. β
Klein kind of understood, but still didn't quite understand:
"You guys used to have split personalities and still fight among themselves?"
"Aren't you also fighting with the secret?"
"I'm not His personality." Klein felt that this analogy was inappropriate, but it didn't seem to be too inaccurate, after all, according to the meaning of the Lord of Mysteries, sooner or later he would become a part of the other party, "This is what you want?" β
"Yes, that's what I want."
Neither of them spoke for a moment, and after a few seconds, the corners of the withered lord's mouth suddenly rose as if he had thought of something interesting.
"I suddenly thought of an interesting thing, if I had a premonition of this day at the beginning, maybe I would also consider establishing a good relationship with you, just like the demon of knowledge, to maintain a certain amount of communication and goodwill, and then wait for the day when I can use your power to open the seal of the Western Continent and retrieve my essentia. Or rather, I'm sure a lot of people do. β
"It's not a bad thing, you just want a stock that's destined for high returns, and everybody wants to invest in you."
"But maybe I'll try to kill you firstβbecause I can't resist the effects of this unknown possibility, and if I can do it, I'll be happy even if I'm going to die the next second."
"But he won't, it's a pity."

ββββββ
I can finally write my old love to death, I've been waiting for this day for a long time! (Hi)
Dizzy, it seems that the wind is cold, and it is estimated that the number of words will be a little less these days, and I collapsed.
