And those who have experienced all kinds of dangerous powers like them, and tried to control them, have long been accustomed to swimming between blades.

So in most cases, they are vigilant enough to be aware of the extent to which their mental will is infected, and how to mitigate or even clear it.

Of course, this method of mitigation and elimination also has different effects and subtle differences in the hands of different mages. But again, if you don't have a certain level of sorcery and power, it's best not to rush into dangerous forces that you can't resist for the time being.

They do it to steal, to rob, to cut the cake.

Those arrogant mages who don't know anything do this, and they just use themselves as materials and food, and give the masters of those powers a delicious feast for their souls.

Except for a very small number of demon gods of relative order, the relationship between any other demon god and mage is a game between fish and anglers.

And the reason why those very few demon gods don't fish is only because they have their own exclusive fish ponds, and the fish can't jump out of the fish ponds, which will become their nutrients sooner or later.

The path that Gu Yi is taking now is not to change from one fishpond to another, but that she wants to become an angler.

This is a path that all atrium mages dare not think of, and it is also the path that all mages dream of. Agatha is no exception.

Despite knowing that Luke's offer might be a trap, Agatha was willing to take a desperate gamble to win the possible miracle. What's more, she was forced into a corner by Luke at that time, and she had no other way to go.

She took so much trouble to learn the magic of this world, the power of this world, and all the knowledge in this world, naturally in order to construct a battlefield of her own and increase the probability of victory for herself.

But that's not enough.

Judging from the fact that Herder was able to control the planet's magical energy and lock it at a certain output limit, the other party's understanding of the magic of this world was even deeper and more proficient than her.

If no other miracle occurs, then the outcome of her future collision with Herder is conceivable.

As for running away?

From the moment the soul was connected, they were inevitably entangled. Even if she temporarily blocked the sharing of soul memories, they could still faintly feel each other's presence. Especially under Luke's operation, even if they are separated in two different universes, there will always be a force that will make them reunite.

In the aftermath of the Energy Lockout, Agatha has understood the point, and that delay will not bring her victory, but will make her already small odds of victory even lower.

Maybe the war starts the moment the soul connection is established, and maybe it will be the most likely time for her to win!

She was shocked by the magical power that Herder displayed at that time, and her mind was limited. Since he needs his own soul to complete the other, it is clear that Herder is not mature.

As a replica of the Ancient One, although she carried the magical knowledge and power of the Ancient One, there was no doubt that the other party's soul should have been the biggest imperfect flaw at that time.

Powerful, but biased towards a restricted puppet. It can also be regarded as a rudimentary form of a soul that has not yet been fully formed and has escaped the influence of the ancient one.

She was clearly guided by the strength of the other party and Luke's words. Mistakenly thinking that this is Luke really willing to give her a fair chance.

Right now, a voice in her heart was getting louder and louder, telling her that she had been deceived by the other party.

Perhaps sending them into this world together was part of Luke's plan. Just as dividing them into different destinations should be part of the plan.

It may never be her who really needs time to grow and prepare, but the seemingly strong, but not necessarily strong, but not necessarily strong Held.

Decades is enough time for the other party to temper and grow.

Perhaps it is precisely because the other party has grown up that he will open the door of space and come to the planet where she is.

Agatha couldn't put into words the feeling of sudden realization in her heart, but she knew under the control of this emotion that if the guess was true, then whether she was ready or not, she had to start the soul war as soon as possible.

This is one of the reasons why she didn't continue to dodge, knowing that Heard might be waiting for her in the Dragon Tower, but she was still willing to follow.

It was precisely because of this that she met the ancient god who surprised her!

Yes, not a scare, a surprise!

The strange energy of the other party, like a thunderbolt piercing the black curtain, made Agatha's heart beat violently in her chest.

Marvel!

The miracle she had been longing for and looking forward to!

Truth be told, she'd taken some of the dragon's habitat from Egwene's mouth, and sneaked into it. It's not necessarily that he has any bad intentions, but he just wants to find strength against Herder.

It's a pity that it's hard for her to sneak into the core of the opponent's territory without alerting the guardian dragon.

Looking at the ancient god appearing in front of her, Agatha felt a certain throbbing from the depths of her heart. She thought that this was the power she was looking for, the power she was looking for that would increase her soul's victory rate.

The shadow power of the Elder Gods is incomparably compatible with the soul and spirit, and can make her means of targeting the soul and will extremely colorful and powerful.

What if she could make Herder fall?

If Herder is controlled, will the final winner be her?

As for failure?

Any plan can fail, no matter how bad it is, if the situation is really bad to the point of no return, then she can also directly infect her soul and in turn infect the other party. Like those weak creatures in nature, they may have little resistance to predators, but once they are highly poisonous, they can be exchanged with predators at the worst except for a few nemesis.

Dangerous?

Dangerous, indeed. But this energetic danger has been with Agatha for hundreds of years. She was used to the pressure.

Looking at the Elder God below, who had become a little smaller due to his height, Agatha quickly made a decision in her heart.

Swallow it!

Or rather, lure the other party to attack and swallow the power of the other party's attack towards her! Before meeting Herder, analyze and control this power as another hole card.

She loved this kind of rough enemy who used his own strength too much.

"Down!" Agatha spoke, with a kind of fanatical smile on her face.

Karegos and Antonidas turned their heads to look at Agatha in shock, as if surprised at how she could be so calm and brave after seeing the horrors of the Elder Gods.

Down?

Do you want to go down and give away your head?

Karegos, who had withdrawn the dragon's head, looked at Cthun, who was raising the tentacles below and seemed to be shouting "you down" to him, and felt for a moment that Agatha, who could say such things, must have been bewitched by the power of the ancient gods, and her mind was not clear.

This time it was their luck that they didn't fight a group under the insidious sudden outburst of Cthun, but next time, it won't be a good idea.

At least Karegos was not willing to descend even a little height to face the rampaging Elder Gods.

This thing is what he and they can deal with! Being able to divert the attention of the other party from afar, and harassing it once in a while, Karegos felt that this was already the limit of the three of them.

"Master Agatha, I think we need to take the long view." Antonidas rubbed his swollen and aching head, which he hadn't recovered from just now. He was still worried about what to do with the future of the elite he had brought over, and Agatha's words almost made him jump.

"I have a way to fight him. Besides, Egwene may not have entered the Tower yet, and we must take all the attention of the Old God. It's not enough to just fly in the sky and move under the gaze of the other person. Agatha shook her head, giving an answer that silenced the two of Karegos.

"Are you sure you have a way to fight him?" Karegos was silent for a moment, then asked.

"In this case, you should trust me more. If it weren't for me, you would have fallen prey to the Old Gods just now. Agatha smiled at Karegos' inquiry and said softly.

"I still think it's too risky." Anthony Das Road. The kind of crisis just now was something he had rarely experienced in his long life. It's like a real brush with death.

"You'd better tell the truth." Karegos muttered, and the two large eyes on the dragon's head glanced at Cthun, and quickly moved away. The other party's eyeballs can also transmit the power of shadows, and he doesn't want to suddenly lose control like before.

"You're crazy! Are you sure you're in a normal state now, unaffected by the Old Gods? Hearing the unfinished meaning of Karegos's words, Antonidas had to smile wryly and clench his staff, and began to prepare to channel the most powerful magic he could use now.

"I'm normal, more normal than ever. You can always trust me when it comes to fighting the pollution and madness of energy. If I were to go crazy, I would have gone crazy a long time ago. Agatha stepped forward and grabbed the dragon's horns that flapped their wings and swooped down from the sky, leaning against it, the howling wind darting at her sides, her eyes fixed on Cthun below.

A huge ray of darkness shot out of the largest eye on Cthun's top towards the sky, and in the strange screams and horror of Karegos, it was deflected by a powerful respiration, harvested into a bundle, and was contained in Agatha's body.

The next few dark rays were also swallowed by Agatha.

Antonidas and Karegos, who were taken aback by Agatha's actions before, almost shot directly at Agatha. But seeing that Agatha's breath and expression had not changed, he relaxed a little. But Agatha, who dared to absorb the power of the ancient gods, was still vigilant.

But as time passed, after discovering that Agatha did not show any abnormalities and was really able to resist Cthun's power, Antonidas and Karegos, who were originally fighting to the death, gave birth to a little spark of hope.

But soon, the expressions they had just eased were gone, as the enraged Cthun poured out his strength on them almost in a frenzy.

A female creature inexplicably steals her own power. Who let it really be restrained to death, there is nothing to do with that woman.

But how dare you, a female creature, swallow its energy directly and permanently!

Are all the mages in this world this kind of crazy people now? Even the power of the Shadow is swallowed? Aren't you afraid of being transformed into a shadow creature by the Shadow?

……

Stratholme.

Cathedral.

Archbishop Alonsos, Uther, and the others watched vigilantly at a strange person who suddenly appeared here. Or the other party can't be considered a normal flesh and blood life at all.

Although the other party is human-shaped, with limbs and a head, his face is a cheek that looks like bone, and his facial features are roughly distinguished.

Behind the other party was Kel'thugad, who had a certain evil aura all over his body.

"It's wonderful! I really love the world! There are so many living and high-quality souls in this human city, and this is a treasure trove. ”

Mephisto walked forward in high spirits as if it were his own territory. A lord who was full of the power of hell, bathed in holy light, came to Alonsos and them.

Beyond the city is a horde of otherworldly demons wreaking havoc, tyrannical and cruel.

"Who are you?" Alonsos felt the Light frantically warning him, and the object of the warning came from the strange man in front of him.

"This is Lord Mephisto of Hell, a great being comparable to the Titans of Creation!" Kel'thugad stepped forward and introduced them to Alonsos with a frenzied expression. But in the face of the blazing light, Kel'thugad clearly did not have Mephisto's resistance, and after a series of scorching smoke rose from his body, he had to take two steps back and hide behind Mephisto's back again.

"The noble soul of the festival!" Mephisto's eyes were about to narrow, he reached out and took out pieces of parchment, and the abstract features on the bony mask squeezed out the smile of the businessman: "Everyone, do you want to sign a contract with me?" You give your souls, and I promise not to harm any of the city's inhabitants.

I can see your hearts, and you are not afraid of such sacrifices! As long as the sacrifice is worthwhile! Of course, you can also try to resist and see if you can destroy us. But there may be some casualties in the process that you don't want to see.

Finally, the world will soon be ours! Until anyone else has their eyes on me, I will protect the people of your realm! ”
