On the sky of the foggy capital.

Impale, who incarnated as the source of the Dead River, stared at the other end of the river with a jealous eye.

There, the flaming ship was crumbling, and the young man with golden hair and golden eyes stood on the deck, and the wind howled and blew his blonde hair, which danced in the wind and burned like a fire, and his robe danced with it. The wide robe fluttered in the wind, emitting a low roar, and the golden chalice held high in the opponent's hand.

The chalice is set with 28 pearls, 2 rubies and 2 emeralds on a solid gold setting, on which is inscribed the inscription "To those who bring glory".

Similarly, Xia Xiu, who was thousands of kilometers away, also stared back at the Piercing Gong, his golden eyes looking at the huge river of death.

In Dead Hanoi, the terrifying army of [Spartan Spear] is lined up, and demonic thaumaturgical fluctuations burst out of them; Countless ancient Berlin human constructs have sprung up from it, and they are holding the old energy weapons aimed at the ships; Mountains of Daevite-era steam warfare weapons slowly crawled out of the Dead River, and these [Mechanical Ascenders] swallowed by the Dead River made a dull sound of mechanical rotation.

The solemn thaumaturgic casters held their staffs and looked at the blonde youth with the eyes of the hating living; Iberian hunters held swords and handcuffs and stared at their prey; Fran's skeletal dragon knight surrounded the sky, and the skeletal dragon was opening its mouth wide to reveal its foul-smelling mouth.

Addisi, Atlantis, Wandman, Serpent's Hand...

Countless undead have crawled out of the Dead River, and the most striking one is naturally the "angel" with a chainsaw sword in his right hand and a blaster in his left hand, releasing light wings, and wearing an "angel" with [+] rune thaumaturgical armor engraved on his chest.

It was the expeditionary crusaders of the Heavens against the alien era, but they had fallen by this time, and now they were just monsters covered in hatred and despair.

Most of the Dead River army began to diverge, and the other four elite forces, including the Celestial Crusaders, flocked to Lando Ermero who stood on Big Ben to perform the ceremony, while the rest of the main force stared hungrily at the angels on the ship.

At this moment, the terrifying army of the Dead River stared at the blonde angel holding aloft the Holy Grail, which was rolling along the pitch-black "dirt" inside.

"It's ugly, Archduke."

Looking at the army that had gathered together and turned into the hands of corpses, Xia Xiu sneered loudly:

"The spirit of hatred prevails over death, the heart of love despises death, the sense of honor makes people dedicate themselves to death, and the heart of grief makes people run to death. And human cowardice and weakness will cause the living mind to die before death comes. O life hater who has been infused with thousands of lives, you are so impure, you have lost your pride as a human being, you cannot fully embrace the Bloodline, and the Aether rejects you because of your ugliness. ”

The Piercing Man stretched out his hand like a conductor manipulating an orchestra, but the music at the moment was a prelude to death.

"Angel of Heaven with the Crimson Cup, who is in your right to ridicule me, come, continue the game between us, and I will see what kind of resistance you can do this time."

"The old guy with the crown shattered, let's lie back in the coffin."

Angels and vampires taunt each other on the other side of the sky, and the second round of battles begins in earnest.

Boom –

Without hesitation, the skeletal hand of the Dead River reached out to the burning ship, dragging it from the sky, and the black mud in the held chalice tumbled out completely.

"Follow the contract, respond to me—"

【Crimson Grail Activation——】

Buzz –

Everything became hazy and clear in an instant.

The otherwise silent air suddenly becomes lively, as if thousands of voices whisper in your ear, filled with a magical atmosphere, as intoxicating as the fragrance of flowers. At that moment, you can feel as if you have touched the goal of your dreams, and all doubts, fears, and confusions seem to disappear at that moment.

The light burst out in an instant, soaring into the sky, as if it was about to tear a hole in the dark sky.

Thundered!!!

The air was filled with a deafening roar, like Thor wielding his hammer in the sky.

The ground began to shake, and stones and dust jumped in the air, as if to celebrate the arrival of the moment.

That force jumped in the air, spreading, as if it was about to devour everything.

Then, you see it—a red pillar of light that shoots out from the center of the Holy Grail and soars into the sky, as if it were a passage through heaven.

Then, a reddish orb appeared, a whirling anomaly creation, forged from the perfect balance between irreconcilable anomalies and shattered minds; The entity created by overwhelming, inescapable tension is the howl of the old world in the face of the cold, gray, meaningless new world.

The terrifying Hand of the River of Death was burned by the light.

The Piercing Lord was not surprised by the power of the Holy Grail, the [Supreme Divinity] covered in it was so familiar, and the eternal malice within was surrounding the ship.

Looking at the ship wrapped in [Supreme Divinity], the piercing man's eyes sank slightly.

"What, you're planning to kill me directly with the Holy Grail in your hand? I'm afraid that after you say this, people will go with me. ”

On the ship, the crimson chalice floated in the air, the red orb exuded an aura of despair, and black mud began to tumble out of the inner walls of the grail, and the extremely thick liquid soon spread all over the deck.

"Of course not."

Xia Xiu, who was standing in the black mud, shook his head slightly at the Piercing Prince, praying that he could obtain five minutes of invincible time-like phase protection, which is why the Piercing Gong was willing to force Lai Lai with him,

From the meeting of the Spirit Tomb to the present, Xia Xiu has been stuck in the gap between the piercing Gong and the manufacturing time.

At the time of the Spirit Tomb, the Piercing Gong was motionless in the [Aether Tide] forged by the 81st level, and used various strategies to disgust the opponent; And now, the other party can move, but he also uses the prize won in the second round of deduction to open the class invincible time and continue to disgust the other party.

In a situation where no one can help anyone, the poisonous tongues of the two have never stopped, and in terms of ridicule, ridicule and vitriol, Xia Xiu obviously has a slight upper hand.

Both of them had the same purpose, stalling for time.

The Piercing Gong was waiting for Xia Xiu's invincible time to end, while Xia Xiu was making sure of his preparations.

If you ask Xia Xiu when he set his sights on the piercing man?

He would answer, from the second day he was entered into the genealogy of the kingdom of heaven, and from the third day when he traveled to Terra.

When faced with the most essential problems, he is calm and firm in everything, never gaffes, and does not like to renovate.

In the pursuit of its noble goals, there are certain conditions, but if it encounters any obstacle it can change its temperament - just as anything thrown into fire can be melted by it. Small flames may be extinguished by it, but a raging fire can absorb everything that is put in and burn it, and the result is a larger fire.

What is it necessary to kill [the crown] in the body of a mortal?

Wisdom? Mobility? Ambition? Guts?

These are all inevitable, but what about the more specific?

Xia Xiu will answer - the fulcrum.

Give him a fulcrum, and he can pry everything he needs.

If you don't have a fulcrum, make it yourself.

It was not luck that was about to kill the Piercing Male, but a pawn laid out by the 'careerist' from the beginning.

It was a long-planned assassination.

This is the curtain call that [the Monarch Slayer] has been preparing for him day and night, and he will step on the piercing prince and step onto a larger stage and world.

[In February 1589, two months before the explosion in the 10th district of Wudu, the Wudu Railway was planned to start construction with donations from unknown wealthy people. 】

[In April 1589, the French Railroad Company was bought by an unknown wealthy man. 】

[In June 1589 of the Terra calendar, the construction of the Wudu Railway was passed, and the [Ouroboros] project was fully launched. 】

[On April 27, 1590 in the Terra calendar, [Ouroboros] was completed, and the railway project around Wudu was officially completed. 】

If someone gets the [Ouroboros] engineering drawings and removes some of the other trunk lines, they will find that the general structure of the project is to draw a circle on the entire fog capital.

Since ancient times, the circle has been the precondition that drives all mysteries, and it is the root of the thaumaturgical circle.

This circle was formed by Xia Xiu's will, that is, this is the circle he drawn.

"All things are the One, and were created from the One through differentiation."

"One is all, all is one."

Darkness covered the land, and only the burning flames lit up a peaceful void.

The burning flames reflected the handsome face of a blonde young man, reflecting the dazzling laughter.

Standing in the midst of the flames, he was tall and slender, like a mythical hero, and he stretched out his slender arms and held the sky as if he wanted to hold the whole world in his hands.

The golden eyes burned hot in the firelight, like two blazing stars, exuding an incomparably powerful deterrent, like a monarch who rules over everything.

Ten gems fell to the ground and formed a circle as they pleased.

"The splendor of the crown, manifested in the eternal diamond, allows us to perceive the pure divine light."

Holy diamonds shattered.

"The wisdom of blue, as endless as the sky, gives us insight into the door of mystery."

Magnificent sapphires shattered.

"The understanding of red, like the kindness of mothers, allows us to experience the love of all things."

Scarlet garnet shatters.

"The radiance of mercy, shining in amethyst, makes us feel divine love."

Dazzling amethyst shattered.

"The fiery harshness, like a thunderbolt, makes us know the power of righteousness."

Fiery ruby shatters.

"The beauty in the center, the radiance, allows us to see the glory of God."

Brilliant diamond splinters,

"Eternal life, full of emeralds, let us understand the infinity of life."

Bursting emeralds shattered.

"The glory of gold, like the glow of the rising sun, makes us understand the brilliance of truth."

The glorious topaz shattered.

"The cornerstone of dreams, like the moonlight, gives us a taste of mystical revelation."

The dreamy moonstone shatters.

"The solidity, darkness and hardness of the kingdom allows us to recognize the reality of the material world."

Pitch-black obsidian shattered.

When the ten gems shattered, the circle around the fog capital activated, and a huge light shone brightly.

Phase 2 completed.

The first stage of the ritual begins to mingle with the sky.

The tower of the fog houses a ring carved with a crown; There is a mirror stored in the Wudu Museum; There is a blank book stored in the Wudu National Library; A bouquet of blue specimen flowers is stored in the headquarters of the Salvation Army in the fog; There is a sharp sword stored in the National Bank of Wudu; A delicate little shield is stored in Buckingham Palace; The Royal Observatory in Greenwich houses an emerald gem; A silver scepter is stored in the University College of Wudu; Pure white water is stored in the Wudu Metro Terminal; Leaf specimens are housed at the Nelson Monument in the heart of the foggy city.

They represent the ten points of the [Kabbalah Inverted Tree].

Crown: Source of the Universe, Infinite Potential, Divine Consciousness, Mystery, and Supernatural.

Wisdom: the source of revelation, the driving force of creation, the symbol of God.

Understanding: the goddess of reason, the symbol of motherhood, the application of wisdom.

Kindness: Love and mercy, tolerance and forgiveness, loving Father.

Strength: impartial judge, restraint and limitation, courage and strength.

Beauty: Harmony, Truth, Compassion, Children of Light.

Glory: Thinking and Learning, Communication and Reason, Order and Rules.

Foundations: Realization and Expression, Sex and Fertility, Symbol of the Moon.

Kingdom: The material world, the abundance of life and nature.

They are also known as Hesd, Hehema, Bina, Cheside, Govura, Tifisset, Nedsakh, Hod, Jesed, and Malkut.

【Kabbalah Upside-Down Tree Ceremony Activated!】 】

At this time, if someone looks condescendingly, they can see the path of the Tree of Life transformed by the Wudu subway system, each subway line can represent a special connection between spirit and matter, and each subway station can be regarded as a specific node (particle) where it is located, and the intersection and connection of the subway line conform to the configuration of the ten nodes and twenty-two paths of the Kabbalah Tree of Life.

Xia Xiu shouted at the Holy Grail:

"Now, with the supreme principle of [Equivalent Interaction], conduct [Truth Training] for me, and let the magnificent [Gate of Truth] be projected from the ether to the present world."

【Gate of Truth: Activated!】 】

Click-

The crimson chalice shattered, and the underground circle drove it, and a virtual portal projection was formed from the surface, and then opened, and in the sky, huge ripples appeared.

A huge portal appeared in the sky.

It is the Gate of Truth engraved with the inverted tree of Kabbalah.

Incomparably huge, standing above the abyss of nothingness, as if connecting the infinite universe, defining the boundaries of life and death, present and future,

This ancient and mysterious door is made up of intricate symbols, designs and patterns, most notably the Kabbalah Inverted Tree engraved in the center. This inverted tree-like image is composed of ten particles representing the basic structure of the world and twenty-two passages symbolizing different forces and paths, constructing an esoteric occult symbol. Every particle and passage shone like a star on the door of truth, flowing with an incredible light.

Suddenly, the Gate of Truth engraved with the inverted tree of Kabbalah made a terrible sound, as if an ancient incantation echoed through the void. At this moment, a terrifying and mysterious energy erupted from the door, as if swallowing all the light, plunging the surroundings into darkness.

Boom –

The door opened, and there was a huge eye, its pupil as deep as a black hole, and the ever-changing light shimmered in it, as if it contained all the knowledge and truth of the universe. When you gaze at it, you can feel it looking back at you, as if it can see through your soul and all your secrets.

The light that radiates through Him illuminates every corner of the Kabbalah Inverted Tree, giving it endless power.

The huge eyes of the Gate of Truth are fixed on the fog.

The huge ball of light on the door crowded towards the doorway, and the parts of the nearest orb that had fallen off and the eerie outward flow of protoplasm gathered together to form an ominous and terrifying horror from outer space.

"The Key to the Door····· The piercing man's face was as ugly as eating at this time.

"That's not right, old fellow. You should really read more books, so that you will know that the relationship between the Lord of the Gate and the Gate of Truth is one and many; The Starry Sky Horror is now blocked in the Crystal Heaven, and there is no chance of coming into this world, you should call them different manifestations of the same substance. ”

The blonde youth sneered as usual with a venomous tongue, and at this moment an aura of squirming balls of light appeared at the door of his head.

[Temporary loading——]

【Crown·『 False Circle of Truth]

He spreads out his left and right hands, and at this time his left hand symbolizes [natural force] and his right hand symbolizes [spiritual power], and the two are one, which is [all things].

"You madman, you want to refine the River of Death into the [Philosopher's Stone]!?"

The Piercing Gong roared and directed the River of Death to rush towards the blonde youth, while the other party put his hands together, the silver arc flickered, and at the same time responded to the Piercing Male with a smile:

"Each other, each other."

On the [Gate of Truth], from that deep darkness, countless pitch-black arms began to stretch out, like tentacles, wriggling and rolling, extremely terrifying and grotesque. These arms twisted and varied in shape, some slender and some stout, some curved and some straight, as if emerging from an endless abyss and expanding in all directions.

What is even more terrifying is that these arms are full of eyes, densely packed, of different sizes, wide, godless, frenzied, or staring, or staring, or wandering. Each eye emits an eerie glow, sometimes blurry, sometimes clear. They look around, and each pupil reflects a bottomless darkness that seems to draw anyone's soul into it.

The massive river of death and the tentacles collide and fight each other.

The vampires and angels at the ends of the Dead River and the tentacles stared directly at each other with undisguised murderous intent.

"I'm now saddled with a huge debt, I could have paid off most of it with the Fun Holy Cup, but it's not enough, I need a heart, a heart that can power space-based weapons, and I need to pay a huge amount of surgery for this." The blonde youth said words that made the piercing man feel meaningless.

At this time, Xia Xiu was [Tongtian Dai] in every sense, and with his superb skills and huge psychology, he was now in a state of delicate balance.

This balance is both strong and fragile.

Xia Xiu, who was in the state of [Wanyou] experience, looked at the piercing prince and said to him:

"Some people die too late, some die too early, and some stick to a credo: to die at the right time."

"You, like Lando Ermelo Archibald, arrogantly feel that you are special, that you think that you can obtain the truth by giving, that you can obtain the truth by pursuing, but you never trust yourself, you do not trust others, for the sake of so-called freedom and truth, you place your hopes on a distorted existence, you rest on your laurels, and you do not grow at all, just like the villain in that bottle."

"Knowing a lot, but wanting to know it all—you're the real megalomaniacal."

"Now, what I want to show you is a death that is close to consummation, in which those who are still alive will be stimulated and hope that those who have completed all their tasks will go to death with a strong sense of victory."

"Give the conceited the right despair, this is the truth."

The blonde youth's golden eyes revealed a light that disgusted the Piercing Prince, and he swung towards the other party with the monstrous river of death.

"Hugh Abraham, I'm going to tear your arrogant face apart!!"

The Impaler roared angrily at the angels of heaven.

Xia Xiu raised his hands, and [Nature] and [Spirit] combined to drive [Everything].

Boom –

The black arm of the [Gate of Truth] and the undead spirit of the River of Death collided with each other in this bizarre moment, and an incredible battle began.
