928

The night is like water.

Anderson stared ahead, watching the world in front of him as it was swallowed up in the night.

Thanks to the good view he now had from the top of the mountain, Anderson could see it all: there was no more light in the heavens and on the ground, and the darkness poured down from the sky like a mist, falling like a mist to the earth, silently engulfing the mountains, plains, houses, and cities along its way. And the country has long been prepared, and no matter what happens, it will be no different from before.

The curtain of night fell, and the wings of death descended on everyone equally.

In His mercy, lovers who loved each other dearly fell into sweet sleep hand in hand, the homeless man slept peacefully in the dilapidated house with half of the roof collapsed, and in the luxurious mansion, the demigod who sat by the window and looked at the sky closed his eyes little by little, leaned his head against the wall and fell into an eternal sleep...... Whether they are extraordinary or ordinary, nobles or vagabonds, descendants of the Grim Reaper, half-breeds of the Northern Continent, enemies with blood debts, or family members who care about each other, they all ushered in death at the same moment.

The moment they lost consciousness, it was as if they heard a voice humming softly, like a lullaby in their memory.

The starlit night passed over the city so quietly, and in an instant it passed through the small half of the Byron Empire.

The lights were still on, but nothing alive would ever make a sound.

Anderson watched all this, his heart was only filled with emotion and admiration, which had nothing to do with faith and personal preference, purely in the face of this extremely silent and beautiful death, he didn't feel sadness for a while, only felt full of art.

Countless chaotic and divine compositions appeared in his mind, but he could not draw any of these scenes related to God.

At that moment, the northern sky lit up after a moment of darkness.

Although Anderson couldn't tell the time exactly, he probably guessed that it should be the second half of the night, and maybe even around two o'clock in the morning when it was the darkest day of the night. And at this moment, the dawn arrived early, and the sun actually rose again and appeared in the sky over the Northern Continent.

The sunlight only encompasses the northern continent and a few islands in the sea, and the south of the world continues to dominate the world by night.

"Two essentia staggered entry times......"

On the island in the sea, the primordial witch looked at the dark sky, her right hand gently rubbing the hideous bulging red veins on the left half of her body.

"Don't they want to touch each other either?"

"This proves that his conjecture is right, as long as the two essentia collide, even if that happens, it will be enough for the 'seal' to be broken somewhat...... But if they appear one after the other, does it have no effect at all? ”

He did not dare to stand in the darkness or in the sun, so he chose to hide in a cave on the island, in the shadow of the boulder. He held in his hand an extraordinary property that was now slowly being absorbed by the veins and merging into his body.

Cheek was in a good mood, and as the trait wore off, the red hair on his sideburns seemed to grow back a bit.

……

Bang!

The ship moved slowly but unmistakably, and the previous river construction and now the mass death were undoubtedly a great ritual, with millions of souls voluntarily sacrificing themselves to the incarnation of the gods who were about to descend.

As a result, the barrier between reality and the spirit world was further broken, and the ship continued to invade the physical world, gradually turning from an illusion into a reality.

In the spirit world, the seven lights of the spirit world hanging high also trembled.

Seven humanoid apparitions appeared near the light, and they watched in Calderón's direction from afar, but it was already as dark as the outside world—a hidden power enveloped it, and no one could see what was inside, except to feel the spirit world shaking as if it were being struck with a hammer.

In the tremor of the spirit world, the seven lights gathered together at a loss. The creatures of the entire spirit world related to the three paths of "death", "darkness", and "warrior" have all entered unimaginable madness, and they are constantly gathering in that direction, like a huge school of fish in the deep sea. And a creature like Seven Lights, who only has a personality and has little power, can only watch here.

At this moment, a set of data in the spirit world converged into one eye, which opened and narrowed, and Calderon's outline was reflected on the iris.

But as soon as the outline appeared, the eye quickly lost its luster, rotting and rotting.

"Hidden...... Your Highness the Demon of Knowledge! ”

Another eye opened, and Qiguang hurriedly surrounded it, greeting this eye one by one, and then asked in a stacked voice:

"The tributary of the 'River of Eternal Darkness' in Calderón, summoned by the whole nation of Byron, has now entered the real world!"

"I can see it."

The demon of knowledge replied, the eyelashless eye staring into the pitch-black distance, and soon there were signs of decay and pus and blood, but this time it steadied and did not erode away:

"If you're trying to ask me how to stop it, then all I can say is, but I don't have the idea of stopping it."

The River of Eternal Darkness had nothing to do with the Demon of Knowledge, and he was not so humane as to feel that the nation's unanimous self-termination was worth stopping, so he had a premonition and watched calmly as it unfolded.

It doesn't matter, the earth explodes and my spaceship starts.

"However, he will indeed have a certain influence on the spiritual world......" The big eyes turned three hundred and sixty degrees, and looked at all the up, down, left and right, "The spiritual world will not collapse, but the spiritual activity here is very high now." Moreover, the overlapping area between the spiritual world and the reality is constantly getting larger, and the Byron Empire may become the largest junction between the spiritual world and reality in the future. It may not be a bad thing that children born in the southern continent and the waters around the Rorsted Islands will have an innate affinity for these three paths, as well as a high level of inspiration. ”

Isn't that a bad thing?

The Seven Lights looked at each other, and they exchanged the answers given by the Demon of Knowledge internally, and found that it really didn't seem to be a bad thing.

The "red light" and "orange light" that often communicate with humans are still related to each other.

"But the human ...... of the Byron Empire"

The demon of knowledge answered them bluntly:

"His will, you can't stop it, this is also the expectation of the group. You are only the embodiment of some spiritual symbols, not human beings, and you don't need to take these things into your own person. ”

As he spoke, a pair of red eyes with flames flowing appeared near them, and the mist grew thicker, swirling around the eyes of the demon of knowledge. "Orange Light" remembered something and quickly asked:

"Your Highness the Demon of Knowledge, may I ask, ...... His Highness now"

The demon of knowledge dodges the dogs of Fugen.

"He's in fine shape, it's a miracle to be able to keep it the way he is."

The Demon of Knowledge spoke:

"His rituals are progressing steadily, and the anchors are gradually increasing. Although it is a consensus that the mystery is destined to return, he still has the qualifications to be him until then. I will soon give Him another share of the 'Secret Attendant' as well. I am not familiar with the Angel of War, and I have no grudge against the City of Calamity, and since He wants to save and I support Him, then this extraordinary characteristic is regarded as my spiritual and material aid to Him. ”

Seven Lights looked at each other and thanked the Demon of Knowledge.

……

Pedal Pedal Ped

A series of hurried footsteps were heard, and the Golden Dream, which was in the rebel harbor in the Rorsted Islands, lit up several lights, and Edwina, who had been awakened from her slumber by a violent knock on the door by the observers, walked down quickly in her coat.

She didn't have time to freshen up, her hair was messily draped over her shoulders, and she was carried around by static electricity.

"The ceremony started early?!"

As soon as she entered the captain's room where she worked, she couldn't help but ask:

"According to the church's calculations, and the information revealed by the Church of the Reaper itself, there should be six more days, at least 150 hours, why did they suddenly advance to this time? Shouldn't such a huge ceremony be impossible to adjust the time at all? ”

Usually the crew would not see the captain speak loudly with a score of zero, and she rarely had such a slight gaffe. But what Adevina can't figure out, no one else on this ship can figure out.

Therefore, the first officer, the second officer, and the third officer all looked at the captain blankly and shook their heads in unison.

"Captain, the request on the mission book is for us to observe the big ceremony, and make certain records and send them back for analysis and filing." The first mate looked at Adewina's furrowed eyebrows and drummed in his heart, "Are we going to set sail now to observe?" ”

Edvina took a deep breath, she glanced at the clock, then at the distance, and said regretfully, "It's too late." ”

"We are now 1,500 nautical miles away from Byron in a straight line, and it would take at least five hours to reach the intended observation site, even with extraordinary ability...... When we pass, we can only observe the post-ritual Byron.

She flipped through the telegram message, and the short line on it made her brow furrow deeper:

"How could this be, this is too sudden...... If this mission fails, the next voyage of the Golden Dream will be even more difficult, and even the priests of the Thunder Church will need to accompany them...... The mission book must not be handed in like this, first mate, go and notify the departure! Wake everyone up, and we're going with extraordinary strength! Five hours later, we will appear outside the ports of the Byron Empire to observe the results of this ceremony. ”

The first mate immediately stood up straight: "Yes! He sped away.

"Then I'll arrange it too." The second mate followed.

The third mate walked slowly, there was nothing to do with himself, he looked at the captain, scratched his head, and asked in a low voice:

"That Anderson Hood ......"

"It's too late." Edwina shook her head decisively, "According to the church's estimates, it is impossible for Byron to have a living person after this great ceremony, and even the land will be completely polluted by spiritual power. So we can only observe the records from afar, and we can't even go in and collect the body. ”

"Oh."

Basically no one who runs and lives at sea is too easy to get sad and sad, and the third mate only lamented Anderson's bad luck, and then he asked: "Then there is no need to tell Daniz to board the ship when it's time, I'll send him a telegram back tomorrow morning." ”

Adevina nodded, "Hmm." Daniz originally wanted to show off his current status to Anderson so he took the initiative to ask to pick up people together, and since the other party had died in Byron, then he had no one to show off, and he didn't need to go to sea.

Ten minutes later, all the members of the "Golden Dream" were in position, and in the abnormal morning light, they sailed towards the night.

……

With a soul-shattering roar, the first third of the giant ship entered the real world.

It's not as dilapidated as Anderson imagined, nor is it as eerie as all the ships associated with the "undead" appear in drama and in the play.

Every plank of the great ship was tightly fitted, and gold jewelry in the strong Byron style hung from the ship, as well as countless extraordinary objects that could not be seen clearly. The cracks in the planks were inlaid with white bones that were so clean that there was not a trace of flesh or blood, and the skulls were facing outward, and their eyes seemed to have pale flames in their sockets, silently staring at everything around them, their teeth opening and closing as if they were silently speaking.

Countless necromantic creatures coil in the air, seemingly chaotic but with a certain order, ecstatic about their imminent entry into the real world.

The humanoid figures knelt silently on the deck, they were also wearing gold ornaments, and they looked richly dressed, but towards the only standing figure, one could not help but be in awe of Him and His symbolism at the same time.

Not only is it not dilapidated and gloomy at all, but there is an indescribable majesty and solemnity.

Anderson lowered his head, and his spiritual intuition sketched out the shadow of the god on the ship, a behemoth as tall as a mountain, what seemed to be a god with four arms, night by his side, and the river at his feet. Instinct told him not to look up again, and even a voice in the dark told him to kneel, to press his head heavily on the dirt, to kneel reverently, and then turn into a lifeless corpse.

Kneeling will die, but standing will also die.

He faced death, he saw the symbol of the end, and there was only one way to go before his eyes.

Anderson's Adam's apple rolled a little, and he touched his waist with a trembling hand and touched the knife he was using to defend himself.

He slowly drew the knife out, and even in such a dark environment, he could still see the faint starlight reflected on the sharp blade. Anderson raised the knife with both hands, the tip aimed at his own throat.

If you have to die......

Anderson smiled wryly.

"I used to be the number one hunter under the demigods of the Misty Sea, and the ruins of the Divine War and so many dangers didn't kill me, even if I can't decide my fate, I must at least be able to decide how I die."

At this moment, Anderson saw that the imperial capital in the distance suddenly lit up with lights, buried on both sides of the river, and the position of the pairs of sacrifices emitted light, which became a guide to the way forward. Immediately after, Anderson heard an old sigh, and an extremely powerful spirit appeared from the direction of the imperial capital and plunged straight into the big ship.

In an instant, the ship, which was still somewhat illusory, immediately turned into a physical entity, and the bow of the giant ship slammed into the mountains where it had landed.

The skeleton of the feathered serpent wrapped around the horns of the bow of the ship raised its head, its eyes burning with pale flames, and its wings, which still had its feathers, overlooking the ground ahead.

The huge impact and concussion caused Anderson to fall to the ground, rolling and rolling out of the distance, he didn't dare to look at the heavens anymore, only heard the whining wind echoing in his ears, and the cold feeling had made his limbs begin to lose sensation.

He almost couldn't hold the dagger, but he couldn't help but laugh a few times:

“…… Ha, I can actually live to see the gods descend, even if it is worth dying! ”

Without any further hesitation, he stabbed the dagger into his neck and pulled it sideways with all his might.

TBC

——————

With another loud bang, the boat entered the predetermined river.

Under the dim sky, it was faintly visible that this incomparably wide river channel was filled with water at some point, even deeper than when it was dug out, and could not only carry an unimaginably large ship to move freely, but also could not see where the bottom of the river was.

When He entered the world completely, there was nothing left of the entire Byron Empire.

Immediately afterward, the figure of the god, which was as huge as a mountain peak, seemed to raise its head and looked in the direction of the northern continent shrouded in sunlight.
