In the darkness, the smoke filled the room with a strange aroma that calmed the mind and removed many of the uneasiness and fears.

Takechi asked Sharipa, "Could this smoke be weird?" Would it be useful if we spoiled the smoke, or dispersed it? ”

Now he is a dead horse and used as a live horse doctor. Among the people here, it seems that this old man who is coughing up blood has knowledge of the rituals of the old gods.

"I don't know." Sharipa just squinted: "I don't know about spices. ”

"It's the [perched seagrass] that is a specialty of Zhou Island, and the leaves of the barnyard grass monster, well, there is also a little dried fragrant fruit of Yaoguo."

Hua Wanrong snorted, and she said firmly: "I make flowers all year round, and I will also involve some dry goods trading." The aroma here comes mainly from these three spices, and then there is also something of a potion nature. ”

"It has a clear sedative effect, and it doesn't seem to want us to resist too strongly."

Shang Sheng, the husband of the young couple, also joined the discussion: "Ladies and gentlemen, we were passing through a forest yesterday or this evening, and then suddenly lost consciousness, and it is there that we were ambushed. ”

"It seems that this was premeditated, and if these fanatics of the Old Gods came to us, we should be more in line with the sacrifice needs of the Old Gods? Mr. Sharipa, can you tell us about the Incarnation of Extermination? Maybe it can help us get a little more information, on the battlefield, intelligence determines the winner or loser. ”

The old man turned his head, spat out a mouthful of blood to the side, and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

"I studied theology and was a member of the Old Gods Society, so I know a little bit about the Old Gods. ”

"As far as I know, this [Extinction Incarnation] is a god who competed with the [Black Tiger Head and the Master of the Templar] who followed the Templar in ancient times, the [Salt Lady] enshrined in the Green Forest, the [Dragon Ancestor] in the Temple of the Four Seas, the [Messenger of the Gods], the head of the gods of the Twin Snake Merchant Republic, and the [Golden Light Madonna] of the Brotherhood."

"The Incarnation of Extinction itself possesses the power of darkness, destruction, and rebirth, and its beliefs have survived to this day after the God's War. Because He has a very peculiar ability, believers who pray and sacrifice in the dark have the opportunity to receive the gift of strength to rise from the dead, and few can resist this temptation...... Death is always due, and the Extinction Incarnate will give them a chance to rise from the darkness. ”

"So even some people of other faiths will secretly sacrifice to this god of destruction, and as long as everyone wants to continue to live, the memory of this old god will not disappear."

Sharipa squinted vigorously, as if to banish sleepiness.

"I'll get a little refreshing massage."

Hua Wanrong next to him pinched his neck and the sides of his eye sockets, and then showed a somewhat surprised expression: "Your body ...... How can it be so weak? ”

"Hey, it's like this when you're old."

The monk waved his hand: "This [Extinction Incarnation] is related to darkness, and in the past, when Yaocheng and Yancheng were attacked by the dark sun, they also encountered monsters in the darkness. According to the internal reference compiled by Mr. Kenshin, the old god is recorded in it. ”

"According to those who participated in the ritual, the recitation of the old god's name, 'Kali,' and the reverent recitation of the entire sacrificial phrase 'Bhuvanidovi, Sati, Rudani, Pavati, Chinamatika...... are all the identities and names of the [Extinction Incarnation]. The whole ritual is the constant chanting of His name. ”

"The ritual needs to be set up in such a dark room or cave, and the devotees outside surround us with these sacrifices, chanting the names of the old gods. The power of the Old Gods will spread through darkness and smoke, awakening the monsters that sleep in the darkness...... You see, they're not coming. ”

Sharipa looked relaxed.

Takechi and the others couldn't laugh at all.

In the darkness, something strange appeared, made of smoke and dust, and its shape was erratic, making it difficult to determine the exact form. But there is no doubt that they do roam around, like wolves hiding in the dark.

Takechi noticed that there was a person clustered around the center of the black smoke.

The man was completely gray, as if his body had been entangled or blurred by fog, but from the outline, it was a burly figure.

The other party was holding a lantern, and his face was gray, somewhat like a ghoul.

He has a strange pattern tattooed on the left half of his face, consisting of two circles, inside and outside. Circles, squares, and triangles are drawn in the inner circle, and straight lines connect them like some kind of vague totem or seal.

As soon as the lantern man appeared, his gaze fell on Sharipa: "You have divinity in you...... No, it's a god body? Nor is it, quirky. ”

"Hello, guest from the darkness."

The old man didn't care: "We are trapped here, I wonder if you can please save us from the predicament and get out of here?" ”

The lantern man laughed, his whole face contorted.

"What an interesting mortal, move your corpse and stack it up, and it should be very bright with the lights lit."

Sharipa was undeterred: "Thank you for the compliment. What can I do to get your help? ”

"Save it, you can't give me what I want. I can take anything. The other party said arrogantly: "Even if you can go far, it is only the realm of mortals. ”

The old man's eyes suddenly lit up: "You know something, right?" You know all these changes that are happening in my body, right? ”

"Of course."

At this time, the lantern man's face returned to his previous coldness: "A mortal is a mortal after all. ”

"Are you a god?"

"I'm not a god, even though there are many people who call me and think I'm a god. But no. ”

"I see. There is one thing I dare not agree with, although I am a mortal, the mortal realm can also go far away, much farther than we used to think. ”

There was a hint of a smile on Old Sharipa's face: "It's like you see the changes in my body." ”

The lanternman seemed to think of something: "No, this is not a god transformation, and you are not a dependent...... What the hell is this...... What's going on with you? ”

Takechi was a little surprised.

For the first time in the darkness, the seeker was puzzled, and he was even seeking answers.

"Do you want to know?"

The smile on the old man's face did not change: "I will tell you everything, I just ask you to send them back to Yaoguo safely......"

"You're not qualified to talk to me."

The lantern bearer coldly raised the lamp in his hand, and the green fire in the lantern was gloomy: "As long as I want, I can turn you into a corpse at any time, and become the lamp oil in my hand." ”

"Yes, of course you have that strength and power."

Sharipa slowly stood up, shook the dust off his body, raised his head slightly, and looked at the tall figure surrounded by dark monsters: "But one thing you should also know is that I have the power of a god. ”

"It comes from a powerful god, and the power of the god is so great that even a little bit of it can be dissected from it, and my life cannot bear its weight. But whether you live or die, the power of the gods will not disappear. ”

"And once I die, I will condense the Almighty Stone, so as to stimulate the little power left by the gods, and I will probably be able to release a small spark here."

The monk covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed so violently that his back arched high.

"You're not a god, so I'm not worried about being watched by Lord Yaoshen, but if I release the spark of the god, I don't know if Lord Yaoshen will see it."

“……”

The other party was silent.

Takechi thought that even if the high-ranking monks in the abyss were separated from Ertang Garan, their bodies would be able to condense the Almighty Stone after death. And the remnants of the divine power that Sharipa said can devour the Almighty Stone, and instantly produce an extremely strong reaction.

As long as it can attract the attention of Yaoshen, all the beings here will tremble and fear!

No one can resist the divine might of Yaoshen-sama!

Sharipa subdued the other.

Takechi was excited in his heart.

This old man is very powerful, knowledge is really power!

The lantern man was silent for a moment: "Are you betting that I won't dare to do it?" ”

"No, I just want to talk to you about this field of theology. This is just a hypothetical experiment. ”

"What you say won't happen."

The lantern bearer said, "Because what you have in you is only a little divine power left in the divine body, and as long as there is no divine head, these will continue to decline and dissipate." As a low-level material and power, the Almighty Stone acts on divine power and can only show one side of the material, so according to your approach, it is just a matter of forging the Almighty Stone. ”

Sharipa nodded: "Your judgment is very reasonable. Kamui usually comes in the form of miracles, leaving traces whenever they appear. These traces can even be perceived by us through [theology], so as long as these traces exist, Lord Yao Shen can also see them. I think that the divine power in my body should be enough to leave traces. ”

"Ridiculous! The gods cannot see the remnants of these powers, unless they have certain items or wonders. ”

"How do you know if you don't try?"

The lantern man sneered: "You know God better than me? I used to be God! ”

"Is that so? It turns out that you are an old god. ”

"It's not the old gods, I said it, I'm not a god, now I'm a demon - this name originally belonged to us, but now it's a bit overflowing, anyone can use it, times have changed."

"So what should I call it? Mr. Demon? ”

“…… Biflones, I give you permission to call me by that name. ”

"Mr. Bifrons, since you are a god, why don't you know about my condition?"

"How do I know! Even the gods don't know everything! ”

The monk immediately smiled: "Let me tell you, I participated in the dissection of the corpse of the gods, and used the corpses of the gods as raw materials for elemental experiments. Through a large number of high-intensity experiments, the power on the corpse was stimulated and active in me, which led to my current situation. ”

The other party's face was stunned: "You are looking for death!" Look for death! The divine body is not a realm that you can touch. ”

"This is an attempt that Lord Yao God has allowed us to make, all that remains of the fallen gods is a powerful corpse, and we are just studying the composition of the divine body."

The demon Beverons was speechless, and the others listened in horror.

Takechi was suddenly relieved.

No wonder I think this old man has an inexplicable eccentricity.

He dared to mess with the corpses of the gods, and these were indeed small scenes for him.

"Maniac."

Bifurons scolded.

"There's one more thing you're not right."

Sharipa wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief: "Actually, I don't need the Almighty Stone at all to create traces of the gods." Because I have the fire of faith in my body, and this fire of faith is repulsive to the divine power in my flesh and blood. ”

"According to our tests, the flame of faith is incompatible with other gods, causing instantaneous damage, and this destruction will form traces of damage that look like miracles. The Tyrant has proven this, and the gods can see it. ”

"If I die, I can trigger a miracle here, I don't know if it will attract the attention of Yaoshen or other gods."

"You're threatening me?" Beverons' voice was raised.

"No, Mr. Demon. It's that I'm going to die, and I'm very clear now, and it's a flashback, and I've seen a lot of examples of that. ”

Sharipa gulped and coughed up blood: "I'm just describing an objective law and perfecting a hypothetical experiment. ”

“……”

The monk looked at Takechi, his weak face full of apologies: "I'm sorry, Mr. Takechi." Originally, I wanted to use the quick-acting heart pill to hold on until I returned to my hometown in the abyss and died...... Now it seems that it is impossible to do so. Death chased me much faster than I thought, and this time the error was huge. ”

Bamboo wisdom is in a mixed mood.

Demon Bifrons just said something unlucky.

He was about to walk back into the fog.

"Please wait a minute."

This time, it was Zhu Zhi who had the courage to shout.

The lantern man's cold gaze made the bamboo man feel cold for a while.

He still stiffened up and said, "Mr. Bifrones, I have the best of both worlds. ”

"If you can take the lives and bodies of those out there, and the bodies of Mr. Sharipa after he died, you can also take them—please allow me to come down. Because you are not a heretical god, but have generously helped Yaoshen's people, you should know that Yaoshen has always had a clear grudge. ”

The lantern man had an idiotic look on his face: "You think I don't want to?" You think I want to offend a powerful local god? ”

"I can't get out either."

“……”

This sentence silenced everyone.

Zhu Zhizhi felt that everyone's gaze at Biflones was a little subtle.

This seemed to infuriate the demon in the darkness: "Don't let any of your corpses run, I'll light the lamps one by one!" ”

Everyone is submissive, but they don't seem to be very afraid.

"Why is this happening?" Sharipa looked puzzled: "Is this ritual enough to control you?" ”

"How is that possible? That's because of the darkness of the [Extinction Incarnation] Kali...... In short, it is a very complicated reason, involving seals and ancient prayers, which caused my doppelganger to appear, not as simple as it seems. ”

The demon didn't want to explain more.

"Can I understand that as long as the darkness is broken, or the rituals here are broken, you will be free?" Sharipa said.

"At least for me as a projection doppelganger. Normally, I would be summoned, and then I would turn you into corpses and light the lamp, and the power of Kali would come and he would kill me now. ”

"Got it, then I'm going to light it up, and you should be able to break free from the rules and rituals, right?"

"Are you trying to ......" Bifurons snorted: "Are you sure?" ”

"If you're going to die, why don't you choose a way to die that will help everyone? Please take them to safety, please. ”

The monk smiled and looked at Zhu Zhi again: "Mr. Zhu Zhi, please write down my current situation and see if the Almighty Stone has an effect on divine power...... I think about it, according to the definition and concept of elementalism, since it originates from God, but lacks the stability and continuity of the Godhead, I will call it Shen. ”

"Please tell Lord Philus of White Castle everything you have seen and heard today, and I hope that this can be a little insignificant reference for those who come after me."

Zhu Zhi suddenly became anxious: "Slow." There is another way, isn't the sacrifice of [Extinction Incarnation] an ability to give people a chance to come back from the dead? Try praying to Him for strength! ”

"Thank you." A smile appeared on the old man's face: "I am a follower of Lord Yaoshen, a theologian, and a monk, and I will not pay tribute to other gods. Since I'm going to conduct a first-hand experiment on the Shen element, let's start with me. ”

With that, Sharipa's diminutive body walked towards the campfire. The flames consumed his robes and skin, but the old man's eyes were calm, and he crossed his fingers and prayed softly.

"May God Yao bless everyone safely, and may the Yao people always prosper and flourish......"

Flames suddenly rose above the monk, his body seemed to be a mixture of demonic energy and demonic oil, and in a moment the flames soared into the sky, covering the entire room in darkness.

The brilliant fire that shines in all directions tears the darkness apart from the golden cracks.

The monk's body was turning into an evaporating white gas, and a swift and violent force was gathering.

"How can the Almighty Stone really burn?! No, it's not the Almighty Stone, what is condensed in his body is the World Stone! Get down! ”

With a wave of his hand, a black power enveloped everyone.

Rumble!!

The loud roar briefly caused Takechi to lose his hearing, and in front of him was a huge tongue of fire that burst into the sky, piercing the ceiling overhead, and recreating the starry sky.

The monk Sharipa turned into a fire that broke through the confinement, and the scorching air currents surged and echoed in the stone house.

Biflons muttered, "What a madman...... Lunatic...... How did I get called to such a world? ”

After coming out, the demon didn't do anything, and the masked believers around the house had already fled in a hurry.

Takechi, who climbed onto the roof, didn't chase after him, he just turned around and confirmed that the other five were safe and sound.

Then he said, "I'll take you back to Yaocheng." ”

Takechi looked at the sky.

He wasn't sure if the monk had been taken away by the power of the gods.

All he knew was that he had to go to the White Castle and get Sharipa's conclusions about the end of his life to where it was supposed to go.
