Dark Void.

A figure flew past at breakneck speed.

Finally.

The figure landed on a barren planet full of cracks, revealing its form.

- but the Duke of the Abyss.

As soon as he appeared, he looked worried, took out a dusty glass bottle, and examined it carefully.

in a bottle.

The old blind man and the strange bugs on his back did not move.

Only then did the Duke of the Abyss breathe a sigh of relief and said softly:

"What a great power...... But soon this power will be mine......"

I only heard him say something silently.

Behind him, an endless abyssal phantom emerged.

- It was the power that the Great Being had given him, the "Devouring Abyss"!

With this power, the Duke of the Abyss can devour everything!

"Come, give me all your strength."

He was visibly agitated, and shouted in a hurried tone:

"My power comes from you, and it should be able to devour your power as well—make me a being beyond you!"

The gray abyssal phantom surged forward, drowning the old blind man and the insects in it.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Duke Abyss closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and raised his hands in intoxication, as if to embrace something.

"It's incredible, it's beyond imagination, it's ...... There is still such power! ”

He was almost screaming with excitement.

But he didn't see—

The void behind him quietly opened, and another worm emerged.

- If Wu Xiaode was here, he might be able to see that this worm was the one that was kicked out of the Babylonian pillar.

However, Wu Xiaode is not here.

There was no one else around.

Sarens, Duke of the Abyss, is immersed in an unprecedented and strange power.

The bug hovered in the air, looking at the Duke of the Abyss, and then at the raging tide of the Abyss.

It didn't make a sound for a while.

Until—

The Duke of the Abyss erupted into a cry of pain, put his head in his hands, knelt on the ground, and groaned:

"I ...... What's going on? ”

His skin and hair had faded, his carapace and limbs had grown, and his eyes had begun to bulge outward, revealing a grid-like pattern.

It was only then that the bug gently placed six sharp limbs on the back of the Duke of the Abyss.

It opened its sharp mouthparts, and with a single smash, it smashed the Duke of the Abyss's head.

The long mouthparts protruded from his skull, making a constant "sizzling" sound, and began to absorb everything inside.

Meanwhile.

The fog of the abyss has completely dissipated.

The old blind man and the bug woke up at the same time.

The bug didn't move on his back.

The old blind man looked at the Duke of the Abyss and said calmly:

"What's wrong, why are you here?"

The Duke of the Abyss didn't even have his head, but he still made a sound:

"I was driven out of Babylon and was about to return to the swarm, but I sensed something was wrong, and I traveled through time and space to get to this moment."

"Someone can get rid of you?" The old blind man continued.

"Yes, Babylon must not be allowed to re-establish, we need to strike together." Duke of the Abyss said.

The worm behind him gradually melted into an invisible liquid and sank into his body.

Both bugs were submerged.

The Duke of the Abyss and the old blind man walked towards each other, and their bodies gradually merged together, and suddenly became bloated and huge, like giants, but with the slender limbs of insects.

Two heads appear on the neck of this body.

Old blind man, Duke of the Abyss.

The expressions of the two of them no longer looked like those of other beings.

They made short, high-pitched sounds at the same time:

"Let's go!"

The figure broke through the void and suddenly disappeared.

……

A feeling of the world spinning.

The surrounding scene dissipated like a whirlwind of clouds.

Wu Xiaode fell down, stepped on a protruding brick, and stabilized his body.

Now.

He returned to the inside of the Babylonian Pillar.

- The secret passage to that world is gone.

But one of the cards fell gently.

The card is painted with the scene of the royal capital, but this time, the royal capital is no longer what Wu Xiaode remembers.

Four magic towers stand on the four corners of the royal capital.

There are people flying freely in the sky on broomsticks.

The fountain in the center of the city shimmers with brilliant magical light.

A few lines of small print appear in the void:

"The tragedy of civilization."

"Source of Guardianship of All Things, Truth Card, 'Grave of the Laws' Deck No. 5."

"Description: Repair all damaged creations, whatever they may be."

"—The era of prosperity will never end unless a tipping point is reached."

Wu Xiaode smiled bitterly and shook his head.

If civilization is just a prologue, and sentient beings are just tools for rituals, then everything is dangerous after all.

"If civilization is kept in a state of obscurantism, will it never reach a tipping point?"

He asked.

The small gray shadow quietly emerged:

"Ignorance is also part of the ritual, and it may also activate the corresponding tipping point."

Wu Xiaode was a little depressed, so he simply stopped thinking about these negative energy things.

- You've collected five cards yourself.

Only the last two are left!

You don't need to think about the rituals and strange species, all you need to do now is to collect all the decks and find a way to fight all the demons.

Demon Raider Death.

Then change the side of the civilization.

A two-pronged approach can stop the bugs from coming!

Wu Xiaode's heart suddenly brightened, and he looked up at the top of the Babylon Pillar.

- It's time to keep climbing!

He moved, flying upwards with all his might.

At this time, a line of gray shadow small characters emerged:

"You destroyed the perpetual motion machine and completed the initial mission of the path of the true god of chaos."

"The chaos you have created in history has a great deal of power, and it has been absorbed by the chaos sequence."

"You've got your initial reward."

"Reward 1: All of your cards are charged with 'Chaos' and can be used immediately."

"Reward 2: Lovers of Peace."

A black thing fell and was caught by Wu Xiaode.

— but a revolver.

Both the Book of the Dead and the Chaos sequence explain the pistol:

"Lovers of peace."

"Firearms (advanced)."

"Ability: 1. Produces a bullet every ten seconds;"

"2; For every third shot, one must hit the target;"

Wu Xiaode flew upwards while playing with the revolver, shook his head and said:

"It's not bad to help me recover the power of the card, but this gun is too weak-"

"This gun can't be the kind of power you say can fight bugs."

Two lines of gray shadow appeared in front of him:

"Don't rush."

"I've been weak for too long, and it's just beginning."

Wu Xiaode thought about it too.

If you don't load it yourself, it's almost going to fall into eternal silence.

In the beginning, don't be too demanding.

After all, they all helped themselves recover all the power of the cards.

So out of the five cards -

Wait a minute!

He put the revolver away and hovered in mid-air.

He had already flown to the top of the Babylonian Pillar, surrounded by an endless mist, and could not see anything.

That's not right.

The giant pillar was covered with black dust, as if it had experienced a baptism of war.

Many of the bricks are broken.

- Is this pillar broken?

Babylon Kaling Yejana's voice rang out again:

"Xiao Wu, 'Babylon' was destroyed once, and now it needs to be repaired."

Repair......

Isn't that the fifth card, "The Tragedy of Civilization"?

Wu Xiaode attaches the card to the wall of the giant pillar.

The giant pillar suddenly shook.

On the dense bricks, the phantom of one world after another emerges.

In that illusory shadow, human civilization continues to multiply and grow, moving towards a dazzling variety of development sides.

Wu Xiaode's heart suddenly appeared with a sense of enlightenment.

This giant pillar—

It is actually the embodiment of countless human civilizations!

The next moment.

Brand new bricks and stones quietly emerged, and new pillars began to be built on top of the ruined pillars.

The wounds of the entire pillar were repaired, and they stretched out again towards the depths of the mist above.

Wu Xiaode suddenly remembered something.

"Yejana, what if I don't complete 100% exploration and don't get the 'Tragedy of Civilization' card?"

He asked.

Ye Jiana smiled, "You need to collect special materials and repair the giant pillar yourself to get to the place where the sixth card is located - it is hiding too high. ”

Wu Xiaode couldn't help but sweat.

Fortunately, I have obsessive-compulsive disorder and didn't interrupt the exploration casually.

Otherwise, now it's up to you brick by brick.

Suddenly.

On the entire giant pillar, all civilizations let out a mournful sound at the same time, shaking the void in all directions.

Wu Xiaode's heart tightened inexplicably.

What happened?

Ye Jiana's phantom suddenly appeared on his face, and he said solemnly:

"Xiao Wu, you have to climb up quickly, I will use the civilization world that still exists on the entire giant pillar to resist that monster a little."

"What monster? Is it a bug?" Wu Xiaode asked.

Ye Jiana stretched out her hand, and suddenly light and shadow gathered to form a picture.

I saw a two-headed giant standing at the bottom of the Babylonian pillar, just putting his hands and feet on the pillar and starting to climb upward.

The giant had two heads, one was the old blind man and the other was the Duke of the Abyss.

On the entire giant pillar, all the bricks sensed the breath on their bodies, and suddenly erupted into hundreds of millions of mournful sounds.

- Two monsters fused!

On the chaotic interface, lines of explanations kept appearing, showing the origin and composition of the monster in front of Wu Xiaode's eyes.

Wu Xiaode only felt that his mind was empty, and his heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness.

It's hard to deal with an old blind man.

Now it's the two bugs fused with the old blind man and the Duke of the Abyss—

"Quick, climb up!"

Ye Jiana shouted in a panic.

She constantly makes various gestures.

Throughout the Babylonian Pillar, those bricks seemed to come to life, and they unleashed all kinds of attacks.

However, these spell attacks hit the monster, only slightly slowing its movements.

- It doesn't hurt it at all.

Wu Xiaode glanced at it again.

This time, even the chaotic sequence popped up a line of words:

"Hurry up, you're not an opponent!"

Not an opponent......

yes, it's hilarious.

Obviously, I tried my best and collected five cards......

Wu Xiaode's body shook and he was about to fly up, but he involuntarily turned his head and rushed straight under the giant pillar.

"Xiao Wu! What are you doing! Ye Jiana lost her voice.

The wind howled in my ears.

Wu Xiaode took a deep breath and roared at all the human civilizations on the giant pillar:

"Look—"

"We're not a ritual, we're not a ghost prologue."

"Who's going to take us humans as a dish—"

"We'll kill whomever we want!"

The long sword at his waist erupted with a fierce buzz, and with a "bang" flew out of its scabbard, which he held in his hand.

Infinite sword intent burst out from his murderous heart.

Sword.

It's coming!
