The flying ash that had been shattered by the shattered body of the Lord of Distorted Dead Silence did not dissipate, but melted into the ground, and on the stump of the sacred tree, which looked black and sticky, a strange gray-black flower of human height bloomed.

In the center of the flower, something seems to be growing, beating like a heart.

The colorless and transparent flame extinguished itself, Leo took a deep breath, and hurriedly took out a large number of souls from the "soul storage" and stuffed them into his mouth, he didn't know how much he ate, until there were no souls left in the soul storage, and then he felt that the strong weakness of his body and soul eased slightly.

Holding the sword of the first fire in his hand, Leo walked in front of this gray-black strange flower, his eyes were cold, and he drew his sword without hesitation to cut it off.

The burning golden-red flame burned the gray-black strange flower that had broken in two in less than a second.

However, before Leo could turn around, next to the burnt gray-black residue, another identical gray-black strange flower grew.

"This?!"

Leo's eyes froze.

With his current realm, with the blessing of the "Sword Rules", even if the slash is not the vital point, it can also be killed from the basis of the rules, not to mention, what he holds in his hand is still the Sword of the First Fire.

With the double blessing, it is impossible to kill the gray-black weird flower?

What is this thing?

Just as Leo was about to draw his sword again, a cold voice with complicated emotions came from behind him.

"My king, please don't try it......"

Leo paused, then turned to look behind him.

At some point, it was night in the sky, and a dark blue full moon hung high in the sky.

The tassel of light condensed by the moonlight reflects a slender and noble figure.

On her body, the dark moon is like clothes, and there are constantly bands of light flowing around her body like milky way streamers, among which there are countless regular veins that appear and disappear from time to time.

Seeing the person coming, Leo did not have the slightest surprise in his eyes, and was silent for a long time, he said in a calm tone:

"Shall I call you the Goddess of the Dark Moon, or the Holy Maiden of Light, Flve Alexander, or, the Lord of the Initial Aberration?"

"It doesn't matter what you call it, my king ......"

On both sides of the Dark Moon Goddess's cheeks, there are dark blue fluorescent lines that crawl out of her neck and spread.

On her face, there was a gentle smile: "But there is one thing, you are wrong, I am not the master of the initial aberration, you yourself, yes......"

"There are so many miracles in this world."

"Since 'matter' infects the heavens and all worlds, there is not a single one of the trillions of countless beings who can reach the [malignant] stage and still retain their own spiritual wisdom."

"You are the only miracle. And I, as the king, are just the lucky ones that you, as the king, have pulled out of the endless silt. ”

"I, the master of the initial aberration?" Leo stared at the Dark Moon Goddess who was smiling softly at him in front of him, recalling the first time he had descended into the dream world.

At that time, he was in a metal cage that had been violently pulled open, surrounded by muddy flesh.

From the notes of the alchemist Goodraven, he learned about the pure-blood ritual, and even learned that on top of the pure-blood ceremony, there was also a supreme ritual that was secretly studied by the alchemist Goodraven - the soul purification ritual.

But over the years, Leo has traveled through the continent of Most, traveled through many high-level worlds, and walked through Gald, but he has never heard of any record of the soul purification ritual, as if this ritual is just a desperate alchemist's imagination at the last moment of his life, something that has never existed and has never been confirmed.

But only now, when the Goddess of the Dark Moon heard the words "You are the master of the initial aberration", a thunderclap cracked through his head.

Everything in the past is connected in this moment.

There is no doubt that alchemist Goode Laven's soul purification ritual was a success.

The probability of one in a trillion yuan, in the midst of deep despair, was miraculously achieved by Goode Lavin. However, alchemist Goode Laven was unable to witness the completion of the soul purification ritual with his own eyes.

Because, by the time the ceremony was successful, I don't know how many years had passed, and even the glorious royal family of Gaeld had long been on the verge of collapse in the invasion of distortion.

"Can you tell me what happened a thousand years ago?"

Leo said softly.

"Of course, this is my mission, my great king." The Dark Moon Goddess owes money: "You come with me." ”

At the feet of the Goddess of the Dark Moon, the surface of the stump of the sacred tree Florvidea turned into a swirling fluid, and then, a cavity appeared that led to the ground.

Leo silently followed behind the Dark Moon Goddess and descended.

A sticky black liquid trickles down the edge of the stump, making it look like an ocean of backwater.

The deeper you go, the shallower the light becomes, and in the end, the light disappears completely, turning into a world of absolute darkness.

This is a forbidden area in the world where even light cannot shine in.

In such an environment, any sense of direction is a, and both people and gods will fall into a state of disorientation.

The reason why Leo was able to descend accurately was because a crystal blue thread extended from the body of the Dark Moon Goddess, which was wrapped around his wrist and delicately tied with a bow at the end.

I don't know how long it took, a gray color appeared in front of me.

Under the guidance of the Goddess of the Dark Moon, Leo got closer and closer to the gray.

When he got closer, Leo saw that it was a gray light cluster with a radius of a kilometer.

Coming to the gray light, the Dark Moon Goddess stepped into it, and Leo followed closely behind.

The absolute darkness around him began to fade, and a pure, gray world was reflected in his eyes.

A huge whirlpool with a radius of 100 meters was engraved in the center of this space, and it rotated slowly, and every minute and every second, there was a steady stream of gray gas, flowing out of the whirlpool.

"This is [the Dead Zone], the place where the first aberrations fell."

"And this 'Abyss Passage' will send the 'substance' from the 'Abyss' into Gald and the heavens and worlds radiated by Gald all the time."

"It is the source of the aberration, the beginning of all evil."

Leo was silent for a long time before he spoke, "Can you turn it off?" ”

"I can't do it." The Goddess of the Dark Moon shook her head, "The appearance of the Abyss Passage is due to the evil consequences of the imbalance between Gaeld's magic and matter. ”

"In the past, the ratio of magic to matter reached a very abnormal 9:1."

"The extremes of things must be opposed, and today's Gaeld is gradually transforming from an absolute magic world to an absolute material world."

"This is the root rule of the world's operation, even if it is at the main god level, it is irreversible and irretrievable."

"Matter will eventually drown out magic, and all magical creatures that cannot adapt to the flow of matter will die."

"It is the race that is born in the material that builds a new world, or it is merged by the source of the material, the abyss."

"......" Leo was silent, and this time, he was silent for ten minutes before he slowly spoke:

"Darkmoon Goddess ......"

"My king, please call me Flvi."

"Good. Flvy, I have a question for you. ”

"Speak, please."

"I once went to a world called the 'Most' continent, but in the heavens and all the worlds radiated by Gaard, I didn't find Most's figure, can you tell me, where is the Most' continent?"

"Of course, my king." The Goddess of the Dark Moon had a serene face on her face, and spoke softly:

"When the first flame was lit, it brought light. And where there is light, there is shadow. ”

"Light and shadow accompany each other and transform each other."

"Gaeld was once and is the world of light, and the Moster continent is the side of Gaelde's shadow."

"Light and shadow are difficult to reach each other, but they are inseparable and interdependent."

"If you want to reach the other side of light and shadow, there is only one way, and that is the transformation between life and death."

"From life to death, and then from death to life, you can solve the mystery of light and shadow and reach the other side."

After listening to the words of the Dark Moon Goddess Flvi, Leo said softly, "So, in the past, after I fell into the abyss of aberration in the battle with the original dark beast, it was you who pulled me from death into the world of Gald?" ”

"It's me." Velvet, the goddess of the Dark Moon, nodded in acknowledgement, "This is the only way for you to enter Gaeld in your true form. ”

"The real body? Looks like you know I've been conscious of the city of Joel. Leo said in a calm tone.

"How could I not know?" Darkmoon Goddess Velvet said softly: "Yoel City, is my hometown, there are so many memories of me, and most importantly, it is there that I met you for the first time. ”

"The city of Yoel, in fact, has long ceased to exist, and the city of Yoel that you have come to is nothing more than a semi-illusory 'small world' that I have supported with my strength."

"At first, I didn't know of your coming, but after you defeated the World Core, my brother, Count Radhay Alexander, I awoke from my endless slumber."

"I began to follow your trail, and eventually, I found you through an ulterior motive who believed in me on the continent of Most."

"And by then, decades had passed......"

"Decades?" Leo was taken aback.

"Do you think that the world is just a moment?" The Dark Moon Goddess Flvi's tone was still gentle: "For ordinary people, a change in the world may be tens or hundreds of years of time. ”

"And the people who are in it are often difficult to detect because of the coercion of time and the solidification of the age of their bodies."

"Doesn't that mean that it's been nearly a hundred years since I left Blue Star?" Leo's tone was full of complexity.

"Yes."

Silence again.

After a long time, Leo spoke: "Can you tell me, who is I you met before, and why do you call me 'king'?" ”

"A king is a king, and for what reason? As for the past you...... I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I don't remember exactly. ”

"Can't remember?" Leo's tone was tinged with consternation.

"Yes." The smile on the face of the Dark Moon Goddess Furwei was still the same, but there was a hint of sadness: "In the past, in the face of the beings who were about to be destroyed, you sealed the 'Abyss Passage' with yourself, delaying the time for the 'matter' to completely descend for a thousand years. ”

"Until one day, you suddenly came to me and told me that you couldn't hold on, and that you were going to make an unprecedented attempt before you fell."

"I don't know what you're talking about trying, but since then, your figure hasn't been seen again, only here, there are remnants of the power you left behind to seal the 'Abyss Passage'."

"Since then, your name has been gradually erased from my memory, it is a force that overrides the rules, even if I resist with all my strength, I can only remember what happened between you and me, but your figure, appearance, and even name, I can no longer remember."

Hearing the words of Velvet, the goddess of the dark moon, Leo pursed his lips.

If the "king" in the mouth of the goddess of the dark moon Furvi is really his previous life, then the "unprecedented attempt" in his mouth should be the gray character panel.

This thing that has surfaced in front of him since he first killed the monster in Yor City is the biggest thing he has been able to rely on to get all the way to the present.

Talent, perseverance, etc., are of course indispensable qualities for success, but in this world, are there people who lack talent and perseverance?

There is no shortage of them.

The origin of the gray character panel has always been difficult for Leo to explore.

Even if he broke through the extreme of swordsmanship, he still couldn't peek into the root of the character panel, which seemed to be a force above the rules.

"That's what you want to know about the truth of a thousand years ago." Velvet, the goddess of the dark moon, folded her hands together and placed them on her lower abdomen, and said softly.

"This shouldn't be your body, right?" Leo looked at the Dark Moon Goddess beside him and said.

"Yes, this is just a projection of consciousness that I left in Gellde, and my essence has long since left Gelder and gone deep into the abyss, and now I can't return." Velvet, the goddess of the dark moon, whispered.

"What you left a thousand years ago, there is not much power left to seal the 'Abyss Passage', maybe tomorrow, maybe next year, 'matter' will be completely submerged into Gald, and Gald will become an absolute material world."

"Furvi, I'll call you that." Leo's tone calmed down: "Can you tell me, where is the blue star?" ”

"Blue Star is one of the thousands of worlds radiated by the Moster continent."

"Does the influx of matter mean that the light side of the world, Gald, and the dark side of the world, the Mostian continent, will fall into dead silence?" Leo continued to ask.

"There may be a handful of survivors, but the vast majority, as you say, will die."

Velvet, the goddess of the dark moon, replied softly.

"That's ......"

Leo closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and finally, he came to the huge "Abyss Passage" in the center of the space.

As he got closer, he could clearly feel that on the surface of the "Abyss Passage", there was a layer of power that he was extremely familiar with.

That's the same source as the gray character panel, but it's a paradoxical power.

It's just that now, after thousands of years of wear and tear, this power has become dilapidated.

The power of transcendence condenses outside the body, forming a two-color throne of pure blue and transparency.

"Have you already made your choice?"

"Actually, having defeated the Lord of Distorted Silence, you are qualified to embark on the path of evolution. Enter the Abyss, and with your strength, you will be able to become one of the masters of the Abyss, and even with my assistance, one day, you will be able to become the only supreme master of the Abyss. ”

"Maybe......"

Sitting on the two-color throne, Leo said softly: "But compared to the path of evolution, I still want to do my best to delay a little more time for the creatures of the two great worlds of light and shadow." ”

"At least, let the people I care about live this life safely."

"The path of evolution, the abyss...... I'll go when I really can't hold on anymore. ”

Leo raised his hand and touched the "Abyss Passage" in front of him, and the sword intent, magic power, transcendence power, and even the power from the gray character panel began to flow into the seal, resisting the erosion of "matter".

"Furvi, can I ask you for something?"

"Speak, please." Behind Leo, Velvet, the goddess of the dark moon, bowed.

One green and one red, two long swords flew in front of the Dark Moon Goddess Flvi and levitated.

"Help me send the light chasing to the hands of the current wind god of the Moster Continent, and tell him that you will always be the proudest disciple of the teacher."

"And the first fire, help me send it to the Blue Star."

"It's been a long, long time, and I want to go back and take a look in the form of an incarnation."

"I see." Velvet, the goddess of the dark moon, nodded vigorously, and finally glanced at Leo's back, her figure dissipating into tiny dots of dark blue light.

Raising his head and looking up at the "Abyss Passage" in front of him, Leo had a wanton smile on his face:

"What ...... the Abyss and Matter"

"Someday, we'll meet."
