Chapter 452: Disappearing Scars
"What was that you just used?" The Blood Emperor didn't bother with the matter of the Son of Heaven for the time being, but looked at his hands with some curiosity.
Although he was far away just now, he still vaguely saw that the Son of Heaven seemed to have taken out some props and used that thing to inspire the dazzling light.
"The mirror of light, an artifact," the Son of Heaven said succinctly.
"Oh......" The Blood Emperor saw that the Son of Heaven didn't mean to take out the treasure to show it, and he didn't have the bother's heart to ask more.
Artifact-level things already belong to the top-secret information within the major forces, and it is generous enough for the other party to be able to tell him a name.
"Did the giant see you just now?" The Blood Emperor asked again.
"Probably not."
The Son of Heaven shook his head, paused, but changed his tone: "But next, this giant returns to their group with injuries, and it is very likely that he will be questioned by other giants, that is, the probability of other giants being attracted here will increase greatly." ”
"So, prepare early, in the next few days, a large number of giants may arrive at any time."
"Hey, that's all it can be...... Blood Emperor sighed.
There is nothing to blame for what the Son of Heaven did, because even if he didn't take action to get rid of that guy, with the malice shown by the giant, they would be forced to be exposed sooner or later, and then the invasion of the giant clan would become a sure thing.
And now, at least the other party has not discovered the existence of human intelligent beings under the black hole, which is one of the few good news, and now it can only delay as much time as possible to see if there is a turnaround.
The Blood Emperor immediately informed Jiuyou of the latest situation here and asked him to organize reinforcements.
Fortunately, after the belief system was launched, the original atmosphere of despair in the global self-help group was instantly eased.
Anyone who can blend in with this group can naturally see how helpful the belief system is to the current situation. It can be said that after having a belief system, as long as it is not a giant invasion in the future, it will not be a problem to rely on the scattered alien beasts in these black holes.
In the final analysis, all human fears come from lack of firepower, and today's belief system is equivalent to giving everyone a 'gun' in their hands!
In the case of more wolves and less meat, the major first-class forces will even start to focus on the competition for foreign beasts, and from this point of view, the Son of Heaven is indeed very far-sighted.
Therefore, after Jiuyou conveyed the new situation this time, the leaders of the various forces in the group all changed their previous silence, and generously announced that they would send various elite troops to the Pacific Ocean to support as soon as possible.
Not only them, but those small forces and stragglers in various places, after receiving the blessing of divine arts, also changed their cowardice and gradually developed ambitions. When they learned through various channels that there were a large number of monsters waiting for them to hunt in the Pacific Ocean, a large number of capable and aspiring casual players also began to rush towards the Pacific Ocean.
All of a sudden, the elite players scattered all over the world gradually converged towards the Pacific Black Hole.
……
At the same time, the Star Spirit Realm, the Lanel Empire, and the south of the imperial capital.
After two months of silence, a branch belonging to the Wizarding Guild has once again been quietly established in this land.
Because of the fiasco of facing the fools here before, the wizarding association this time kept a lot of low-key, did not interfere in the internal affairs of the empire, and did not think about finding a place for the fools, but just arranged a group of people to rebuild several important buildings of the association in obscurity.
However, they didn't expect that even though they had been so low-key, they would suddenly encounter a blow from outsiders today.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
As the bell rang to mark the vigilance, wizards with wands in hand poured out of the tower, forming an encirclement in front of the base, aiming their wands at the woods in front of them.
At this moment in the woods, the rumbling sound of magic explosions and screams rang out from time to time. The members of the Wizarding Guild kept escaping from the woods, most of them fleeing back to their phalanx with charred black and embarrassed, trembling while unconsciously repeating the same sentence in their mouths: The Calamity Witch is coming!
Yes, Calamity Witch Vivien, this is the enemy who suddenly launched a surprise attack on them today, and it is also a nightmare for countless wizards, after all, two months ago, the world-destroying meteor shower is still deeply still in their memories, and everyone present is stunned at the mention of this name.
"Ah......h
With another scream, a wizard crossed a graceful parabola, flew upside down from the jungle, and fell into the clearing in front of everyone, charred and black, and the faint flash of electricity on his clothes, as for the wizard himself, his eyes were already rolling and he passed out.
At the same time, a figure stepped out of the front and stepped into the encirclement of the wizards without fear.
The wizards looked at the witches who appeared in front of them, their palms trembled, and their wands were difficult to hold steadily, obviously they were surrounding each other, but they were the first to feel fear at this moment.
"Calamity, what the hell do you want to do?" The leader of the wizard angrily questioned.
"As I said earlier, I'm not interested in you, I'm looking for the man in black, go and call him here." The witch said without emotion.
"The elders are already on their way, you'd better not act rashly!" The leading wizard shouted inwardly.
"That's good."
When the witch heard this, she put down her wand and froze in place, no longer moving.
Seeing that the Calamity Witch had finally stopped attacking, everyone felt a little relieved, but they still didn't dare to relax in the slightest, after all, it was the woman in front of them who almost single-handedly destroyed the association.
In the tension of the wizards, the two sides were at a stalemate.
After waiting for about an hour, a light finally lit up in the teleportation array behind the tower.
Two figures, one black and one gray, appeared on the teleportation array, and they were the black-clothed and gray-clothed people who were responsible for guarding the secret realm.
As soon as the two elders appeared, they were also startled when they saw the tense scene in front of them, and hurriedly passed through the crowd and rushed to the front of the crowd.
"Vivien, since the last incident, we haven't retaliated against you in any way, and even specifically ceded the power of the Lanel Empire, what are you not satisfied with? Are you still going to kill us? The man in gray looked at the familiar figure in front of him, angry and helpless.
"No, she's not Vivien......"
The man in black frowned slightly at this time, stared at the figure in front of him carefully for a moment, and suddenly said, "This feeling...... She's a fool! ”
"Fools?" The gray-clothed man next to him looked over in disbelief and looked at it a few times, but he couldn't be sure for a while.
"I see......"
The black-clothed man's brow suddenly furrowed.
"So, Vivien is really dead! Then Vivien, who launched the forbidden spell before, is just a fool who borrows the corpse to resurrect her soul...... This can be explained, no wonder she spares no effort to help the fool! The man in black sneered knowingly.
"It's a pity that I'm going to disappoint you, but Vivienne-sensei is still alive." The witch spoke expressionlessly.
"Huh, huh?"
The man in black showed an indifferent expression when he heard this, smiled lightly, and changed the topic: "I heard that you are looking for me?" What's up? ”
After confirming that the other party was not Vivien herself, the man in black instantly relaxed a lot.
And the other wizards around him, listening to the strange conversation between the two, also began to be skeptical.
"I need research materials for the Devouring Beast." Said the witch.
The black-clothed man's pupils shrank sharply when he heard this, but he quickly recovered, frowned, and showed a puzzled expression: "What do you mean?" I don't understand what you're saying? ”
"No need to pretend, you should know exactly what is happening in the Forgotten Lands right now." Said the witch.
"Hmph, that's your fool's fault! It is precisely because of your arrogance and arrogance that the Lesser Calamity was triggered, and now, it is the turn of the Forgotten Land, which is true karma, so you can taste the consequences of your own destruction! The man in black sneered.
The witch paused, and after a moment she spoke calmly: "The two worlds are now grasshoppers on one rope, if we perish, then you will be next!" ”
"Really?" The man in black continued to sneer: "But it's a pity that the God Devouring Beast is only the nemesis of your fools, and we ordinary Star Spirit Realm people are not within their parasitic range!" Therefore, you are the only ones who will be destroyed in the end! Otherwise, why do you think that only the fools suffered in the Little Calamity a thousand years ago, but they did not infect other people in the astral realm? ”
In the pet shop, Lin Xue looked at the latest text in the game and frowned slightly.
Devouring Beasts, they don't parasitize the natives of the Star Spirit Realm?
The words of the man in black reminded her of the explanation of Fuya's ancestor before.
At that time, the old man's original words were: All humanoid intelligent creatures with divine nature are parasitic targets of god-devouring beasts.
It seems that the point lies in the word 'divinity'.
The divinity here should not only refer to the divinity point or the crystallization of divinity, perhaps, everything related to the giant world, such as the power of God, the defense of God, and even real life, relics, etc., are classified as 'body divinity'.
And those who can possess these things, except for a very small number of natives of the Star Spirit Realm who are lucky enough to obtain divine power or artifacts, are almost all fools!
Thinking of this, Lin Xue's attention returned to the game.
The fact that the Man in Black was able to say this conclusion with such certainty just proved that he had indeed studied the Devouring Beast, which was good news.
And now the other party's attitude is obviously that he has no intention of handing over the information, in a vain attempt to sit back and watch the fool be destroyed by the giant world.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Xue continued to type in the game.
[In the face of the indifference of the black-clothed man, you choose to warn the other party: the fools will destroy all the 'doors' before they are destroyed, so that the two worlds can be completely connected!] At that time, the Astral Spirit Realm will need to face the giants at the same time, as well as countless parasitic fools. 】
[When the black-clothed and gray-clothed men heard this, their faces suddenly became extremely ugly, and you heard them all scolding you: "Crazy! ”】
"We need to discuss! The man in black frowned, and hurriedly led the others back to the wizard's tower. 】
[Obviously, your deterrence has had an effect, so that the black-clothed man cannot ignore your appeal, but the other party also has his own calculations, and wants to make the fools die as much as possible in the battle with the giant by delaying time......]
[You hurriedly called the two elders and issued a solemn warning to them: if you can't see the information within half an hour, you will leave directly, and immediately mobilize your own appeal to destroy all the gates of the Forgotten Lands!] 】
Lin Xue knows very well that there can be no retreat in this situation, and can only threaten the other party with this scoundrel method, anyway, the core is one meaning: if you don't let us have a good time, then we will forcibly drag you into the water, and everyone will die together!
[The men in black and the men in gray are gnashed their teeth by your rogue words, but they are helpless, they don't know your character, so they don't dare to bet on whether you will gamble or not. 】
[After hesitating for a moment, the man in black chose to compromise in extreme unwillingness. 】
[You have obtained the 'God-Eater Research Log' *1 from the Man in Black.] 】
It wasn't until she saw this prompt that Lin Xue breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, the threat just now was just bluffing, she didn't have that much influence on the earth, even if Mu You came. If they want the door of the world to be destroyed, even if they agree, other forces will definitely not carry it out, because the astral spirit realm is equivalent to the last retreat for them.
Shaking her head, Lin Xue took out the thick 'research log' from the game and couldn't wait to start flipping through it.
……
The City of Dawn, inside the castle of the city lord.
Red Sleeves stood quietly in front of a full-length mirror, staring blankly at his own image in the mirror.
In the mirror, she still wears the metal mask that covers half of her cheeks.
After standing for a moment, Red Sleeves reached out and pinched the edge of the mask on his face, slowly taking it off.
However, as the mask was removed, in the mirror, the dense scars on the imaginary half of the face did not appear, but hidden under the mask was a smooth and delicate face.
Red Sleeves looked in the mirror sluggishly, he had returned to his normal appearance, but there was no sense of joy in his heart, but an indescribable panic rose.
She hurriedly lowered her head and looked at her raised left hand.
With the movement of his mind, on his left arm, the phantom of the Grim Reaper's arm suddenly appeared.
Red Sleeves felt the powerful and incomparable energy coming from his left arm, but instead clenched his fists, revealing an extremely tangled look.
The power of the Grim Reaper is still there!
But why?
The premise of obtaining the power of death in the first place was to take away the most cherished thing from her, that is, her appearance, but why, now her appearance suddenly recovered?
What's more, after the appearance was restored, the power of the Grim Reaper was not withdrawn.
Could it be that the Grim Reaper would be so kind to see her pitiful and return her appearance for free?
In fact, Red Sleeves had already thought of a possibility in her heart, and it was precisely because of this that she felt flustered.
She would rather her appearance be crippled again, or even her entire face covered in scars, which might have reassured her a little more.
Pity......
Red Sleeves looked in the mirror, and after his face turned pale for a while, he suddenly turned around and glared at a stroller somewhere behind him.
At this time, her child was curled up in the car, sleeping peacefully.
Red Sleeves looked at the child from afar, his face full of confusion.
It wasn't until a moment later that she seemed to have made up her mind, and silently walked towards the stroller, while her right hand drew a glittering dagger from behind her.
All the way to the stroller, Red Sleeves stared at the peacefully sleeping child in swaddling clothes, his eyes gradually filled with hatred and anger.
Almost subconsciously, she grabbed the hilt of the knife with both hands and stabbed at the child......
The blade finally stopped in front of the child's white and tender throat, and the hands of the red sleeves holding the handle of the knife began to tremble, although she had tried hard to control her anger, hoping to stab it in one breath, but looking at the innocent face of the child in front of her, her hands just didn't obey the call, and she couldn't do it anyway.
In a trance, the sleeping child seemed to feel something, woke up from a sweet dream, scratched his face a few times, and slowly opened his eyes.
When the child opened his eyes, all he could see was the red sleeves standing numbly next to the stroller.
At this time, the red sleeves had no dagger in his hand, and stood by and looked at him expressionlessly, like a piece of wood.
"How's the Forgotten Lands going?" The child was not surprised, yawned, and asked in a childish voice.
"The crackdown has happened, and the belief system has just come online." Redsleeves said mechanically.
"Sure enough!"
The child's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Those old guys must be busy now, and they don't have time to intercept us, it's a good opportunity to ascend to heaven!" ”
"Hurry up, according to the original plan, immediately control the Dawning City to take off!" The child said excitedly.
But after saying that, he found that the red sleeves were still motionless in place.
"Go, what are you waiting for?" The child frowned.
However, when he looked up, he realized that Red Sleeves was staring at him closely, and there was a hint of danger in his eyes.
"Hey, I ask you ......"
Red Sleeves stared into the child's eyes: "My child, are you still alive?" ”
"Of course!"
The child looked at Red Sleeves in some surprise, quickly regained his composure, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will teach him carefully according to the agreement until he masters this power...... In addition, as long as you do your best to help me complete the final plan, when I am done, I will naturally leave. And when the time comes, all the best things will be left for your children! He will be the savior of this world! Isn't that exactly what we signed a blood pact? What do you have to worry about? ”
The child finished speaking in one breath, but Red Sleeves didn't say a word, still staring at his eyes, as if trying to see through his heart.
The child can only look at the Red Sleeves.
It wasn't until the back of the child's stare began to hairy that Red Sleeves finally withdrew his gaze.
"I'm the bloodline of the god of death, if I find out that you are lying to me, I promise, I will let you die without a place to bury......" Red Sleeves left this sentence coldly, then turned around and walked away without saying a word.
The child frowned, and watched the figure with red sleeves disappear into the city lord's fort, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and at the same time his eyes became cold.
He didn't expect that this woman, who had always been very unassertive and always seemed to be a good bully, would actually become tough for the first time......
This made him feel a sense of crisis.
"Time is running out, we must speed up the progress......" The child looked at his fist and sighed, after all, there were still too few people at his disposal, otherwise he would not be as passive as he is now.
