Chapter 43: The Entropy Path

It is indeed more secure to follow this white lion.

The pure white mane runs from the top of the head to the shoulder blades, and the elbows hang down with wing-like silvery-white tassels. This is characteristic of the Barbary lion, a North African breed that the Romans have used to fight beasts since classical times.

The white lion was one meter four tall at the shoulder, like a moving cover, blocking in front of Shang Luo. The spear was in its mouth, and it looked as small as a toothpick.

Not far in front is the place where he and Wen Yuan are separated.

However, there was not a trace of the battle ahead. The hallway is as quiet as a hospital room at 3 a.m.

"It's not right, why is there no sound? Even the black breath is gone. ”

[Perhaps... Wait, you make the lion stop. There may be a problem ahead. 】

"Lolo? Stop for a moment. He whispered the name of the white lion. However, the white lion only glanced sideways slightly, and then continued to move on.

"Lolo! Stop it! ”

The White Lion didn't respond again. Shang Luo wasn't its owner at all, it was in a bad mood right now, and it didn't bother to pay attention to the noisy guy behind it.

[Quick! Hold it on! Pull its tail! 】

"Lolo!" Shang Luo stretched out his hand in front of him, but the lion's tail disappeared into thin air, along with the spear of the Sun God.

β€œ...”

Shang Luo looked at his hand quietly. For a moment, he felt as if he had touched the coldest object in the world. It's not even the same as exposure to liquid nitrogenβ€”exposure to liquid nitrogen causes the skin to be acutely damaged like exposure to flame, and feels similar to a burn. However, the touch of his fingertips made him sense the real cold, which passed from his fingertips and stabbed straight to his back.

"What the hell is it up front?"

[I should have guessed that Phaethon was not crazy at all. She belongs to the entropy path, and there is no option to go crazy in the entropy path. She's zeroed! 】

"Zero? What do you mean? ”

[It is nothingness, the ultimate that all creatures who swear to the Great Styx must face. The path of entropy itself means luck and death, but no one can truly harness the power of 'entropy'. Helios chose to harness it with an oath that could bring endless possibilities to an end, an oath that could travel through endless time. Therefore, the Spear of the Sun God can produce an almost infinite deterrent power on the Oath-Oath, and even what has happened can be retracted. Harnessing entropy with an oath is the source of Helios' divine power as a divine machine. So he is the god of contract, not the god of entropy. 】

"So the path is not exactly equal to the power of the divine machine?"

[Of course.] Will you be defined by your attributes? If you are Chinese, do you have to know Chinese kung fu? If Helios chooses to devote himself entirely to the power of 'entropy', he will become ubiquitous – it will be the same as non-existent. So it was never the entropy itself that determined Helios, but his harness of entropy. It's like the same god of fire, but it must be the way in which the godhead is used: arson, slash-and-burn, and even lamps. There are countless paths to climb the path, and the divine machine is born from the path, not the other way around. That's how life is supposed to be. 】

"What if... What about her broken her oath? ”

[Then she will turn her back on the boat that Helios has provided for her, and she will drown in the Great Styx.] She longs for light, like a drowned person craves oxygen, she is crying for help... So what exactly are you giving her food! Why can retribution come so quickly? And why is it that you can attract such a high level of power? Is the gaze of the Great Styx something that can be called by a single elixir?! You're the god of entropy! How can this kind of thing happen to you? 】

"How do I know! And didn't you give Danfang? I had no idea what it was! Isn't that Tsukidan? ”

[Didn't that also fulfill your request?!] It's also the first time I've used it, how could such an outrageous thing happen! I don't know if it's because of 'you' or 'me', or if the two of us add to each other, maybe the left foot and the right foot spiral into the sky. I don't even dare to count it anymore! No, no, even if I can survive, I must first find a way to harness my power before using it. What if I ask again about the end of the world in Ragnarok? Afraid... Afraid... It's all your fault! Why are you asking such tricky questions! 】

"After all, she must eat it! Blame your brother for robbing! ”

[That's it!] They don't want to keep an eye on Alexander's lighthouse, and they want to come to me. I'm! Blame them! 】

...

"So, what about after that?" After a brief silence, both men calmed down, and the problem was still not resolved.

"While it is true that they are to blame, the trouble is on our heads now. Whether we find the culprit here, or fight left and right, it doesn't help what is in front of us. We may have fallen into her trap and never returned. ”

[Don't talk nonsense! I calculated that you would definitely die before, and if you talk nonsense here, it will really come true! 】

"Huh? Could there be such a thing? ”

[You touch the front.] That's where it was. 】

Shang Luo stretched out his hand, and his fingertips could still touch the most piercing chill, but it seemed to be closer than the distance just now.

"The icy obstacle that made the white lion disappear, it was closer than it was just now."

[Wait, don't move yet, and try to test backwards.] 】

"Backβ€”" he reached back, the same chill coming from his fingertips.

"We are already surrounded. I don't know when. And maybe we're in some kind of cycle right now. ”

[That's impossible.] I am Apollonia the Infinite Divine Machine, and I am at the very forefront of divinity! It's impossible to be blinded by mere illusions, not even dreams, or even time loops, that break my eternal observations. So the chill is going around us, and there's no way to get through it - you can only really set foot in this cold realm if you decide to walk in it. 】

"Is it too late?"

[Phaethon has not come out to look for me, which means that she is also being dragged inside. But it certainly didn't work out either, and the white lion named Lolo didn't end the fight. 】

"So... There is only one way left. He looked ahead. There was still no sign of a battle ahead. The hallway was as quiet as a hospital room at 3:00:09 a.m.

Shang Luo took a step forward. The lights went out and everything around was plunged into darkness. The position I stepped on was like a spotlight on a dark stage, only there was light. However, through the darkness, two white figures suddenly ran wildly in the lightless space. One with two legs and one with four legs. The two legs were flying backwards, and the four legs couldn't catch up at all.
