Chapter One Thousand and Sixty-Four
Trying to destroy the evil artifact of Miè. So far, however, no god, or other higher being, has found a way to destroy it, and the only feasible means we can find is sealing. ”
"If we can't find the right way, we'll do the same. ”
"So, how can you guarantee that he can resist the temptation that Pandorian brings him before choosing?"
Elistrid's voice was soft, "It's also very likely that he will be confused by Pandorian a little bit, and eventually become a key for him to open the door to the planes, isn't it?
"Because...... He has successfully resisted once, and I believe he can resist a second time. ”
"Successful resistance? It was just fear driving him to make a decision. ”
The Goddess's voice laughed, not hiding the subtle mockery: "Human beings often perform miracles that shock us under extreme circumstances, and we appreciate such behavior, but often such successes cannot be replicated." And the so-called treasures will eventually attract the attention of the greedy. After a pause, she put forward the heart-warming conditions:
"He wants to use our power, it's not a big deal, if he can, there's no need to use that evil and dangerous weapon. He can choose to be hostile to us, but he can also choose to cooperate with us, so that we can also provide him with little help from that evil weapon. ”
"I'm sure he'll be interested. ”
"No, no, no...... It's all about you. Elistria's laughter was softer. It is also more beautiful: "With the importance he attaches to you, you want to disturb his plans." It's easy. ”
Disturb?
The god's words made the holy warrior frown.
She's hinting. Isn't he able to achieve his goals by normal dissuasion, but only sabotage? But why would he want to destroy Edward's plan? about God, about his goals...... Can you decide for him? What will be the consequences if you do this? Can you really keep yourself out of trouble with him?
A series of questions crossed my mind, but it was difficult to find answers.
Thoughts get complicated. It seemed as if it wasn't just her own thoughts, but also some of Iriel's. The Blazing Divine Servant had a completely different understanding of Edward than she did, but it was much deeper. More precise, like someone is asking and answering with her.
If it was Edward, he would not agree to such a decision, right?
He never chooses to get by, preferring to take all the best advantages into his own hands before the battle, and this time without the help of the royal power, his next plans may be very flawed. He didn't trust allies, not even anyone, including those close to him. Someone he likes......
If it was Edward, he probably wouldn't even give this person a chance to talk, no, it's God, right?
He seems to have always been greedy. He likes to take advantage of small things or something, but in fact, he doesn't value those very much, what he really cares about. There are only a handful of things...... But once he has set a goal, it doesn't make sense unless it proves to be meaningless. Otherwise, he would have exhausted all means to accomplish it, and. He will make two, three, or even more plans in case he needs them. Just by himself, even if he is really determined to disturb it, can he really stop him?
If it was Edward, he would not let his guard down and negotiate with the other party like this......
Especially when his strength is inferior to that of his opponent, as long as he speaks, he must be calculating some cunning tricks!
But why does Elistry have to talk to herself?
The question that suddenly surfaced made Elena startled!
Elistria, this goddess now undoubtedly has a great advantage - even if her daughter has a way to fight against the divine power, but she is only a little girl after all, for the gods with dozens of subordinates, there are many ways to contain her, at least send a few shamans to fight in close quarters to catch her, and ...... herself Likewise they can't compete with a god who has descended, so if they catch themselves, why do they need to do this? It is certainly more effective to threaten Edward with their own bargaining chips than to convince themselves of Edward's companion!
The paladin slammed back!
"The response is not slow. ”
Her body had just arched, and before she could retreat, she heard Elistri's cold assessment. And the next moment, the paladin felt his body rush into a turbulent flow of magical power! The scorching flames and the pungent sour smell descended on her body in an instant, although a layer of golden halo reflexively rose from her body, canceling out the forces that might hurt her, but the violent offset of the energy still dispersed a large spark, which also turned her originally gathering retreat into a few staggering steps.
The hot sensation rushed from all four limbs, and although it was immediately offset by the strong positive energy, it still made her feel dizzy, and her mouth was almost completely numb, and she could only watch one wall extend around her—the colored light seemed to be the sunlight through the crystal, forming a colorful translucent fault, which was the rainbow light wall.
This is a magic net that uses the eight rings, and it cannot be taken lightly by the Blazing Divine Servants in their heyday, not to mention that it is a real god who wields it now.
"It's really a pity that you are not willing to accept our proposal. It doesn't matter, though. ”
The rainbow light of the magic swirled blindly, blurring everything around her, but the god's words made Elena slowly turn her gaze and notice a few people walking towards her.
They were not moving quickly, but they were very close, and Elena could easily see that they were the three great shamans...... They walked silently and vigilantly behind something flying—a simple chair made of stone, and Edward sat there, his head slightly bowed. The neatly groomed, gray-white head hung down, obscuring his face—though not even in sight. Elena also knew that he wasn't there – it was just his body. Protected by some magic, his soul is now gone.
"It's rare for him to have such a moment of relaxation...... Although for these people, his defensive techniques are already very good, this method called Psychic Divine Energy does have his unique side, almost not much different from the method when God uses his own power, but it is more efficient. ”
Elistri's voice was still soft and gentle, but it was like ice water rushing into Elena's limbs......
......
"What the ......"
Edward shook his head and scolded softly.
His vision was long. The dark corridor and the twists and turns made it impossible for his vision to judge how long it was - in fact, after entering the tomb of this large shaman with a collapsed appearance, he had already floated in it for about ten minutes with the degree of an ordinary person's walking, but the path ahead was still as dark and deep as when he first saw it, full of unknowns.
It could have been a well-built walkway, with floors made of finely polished marble or obsidian, and walls covered with masonry at intervals. There will also be a torch holder. Some resemble many castles or temples in this plane, but the years have taken away this delicacy completely—a large number of dried plant rhizomes hang from the broken masonry, and the stone slabs on the ground have long since been lifted to the east and west. There are also ferns and fungi that emit a faint cold light, almost reminiscent of dark regions.
It's just that the tunnel is not very quiet, and the sound of a faint wind keeps passing by—
When it started. Edward thought it was rumors, too, but when he turned the third corner. But he almost cried out at the sight before him...... Countless fist-sized hemispheres were densely packed across every inch of the field of vision, pushing each other. moving, forming a rippling blanket on the walls and floor.
Beetle...... Thousands of beetles.
When Edward casually manifested a few sonic energy balls and threw them into them, the scene was nothing short of spectacular.
Although he could still maintain his composure, Edward was still a little creepy in his heart, although he had experienced a lot of things, and he also knew that this worm had no effect on him, but when this dense little thing moved like a tide from his field of vision, as long as it was a person, it was impossible not to feel palpitations.
Luckily, the tunnel in front of me finally came to an end after one more turn.
At the end of the passage is a stone door, but it has also been eroded by time...... Only half of the fan was still standing in place, and the other half, which had shattered and collapsed, revealed the empty darkness behind it.
The whirring wind grew louder here, as if it were coming from the door—Edward frowned, for the sound sounded with a particular pattern, one high, one low, intermingling...... It's like ......
Breathe.
Breath indeed.
The moment he drifted through the door, Edward had noticed the creature standing in the empty hall, making a sound.
A giant monster.
The human squinted his eyes, and in his spiritualized eyes, he reflected the huge figure of thirty feet in length.
What looked like a pile of carved rocks, but with some kind of dark red markings that seemed to solidify blood, was actually a huge carapace, held high by thick and strong arthropods, and a tail raised high, with sharply curved stinging needles and jagged chelicerae all over it, all resembling a scorpion that had expanded ten million times.
The only anomaly is the extension of a strange add-on from what was originally the head.
"A human?cluck...... Silk ...... You will pay for your greed!"
A muffled but sharp voice, as if a myriad of grinding sounds mingled into one, directing Edward's gaze to the disjointed human body, which was only halfway over, on top of the giant scorpion's head. His mouth was wide open, and his scarlet, almost body-long tongue stretched out from the gaping jaws of each skull......
Edward tilted his head slightly, and looked at the twisted figure—the tattered robe on his body could be seen. There are also some things that are unique to shamans, such as strings of beads made from animal bones. As well as metal-polished runes, even in his hands. He also holds a broken totem staff.
"Die......" The huge scorpion moved.
It's staggeringly fast. It was impossible to even see how his thick knuckles supported his moving body—almost in the blink of an eye, the huge body had rushed nearly half the way down the hall! The huge crust rose and slammed down!
However, this attack was completely inaccurate, and the spirit of the Psychic Warlock only dodged to the side a little, and the huge crust just knocked into the ground in vain, and the masonry rose a large cloud of smoke and dust, and the rubble flew like rain!
Edward, on the other hand, did not attack.
He just looked at the one who was already close at hand. Shadows in the smoke and dust, and then tilted their heads. As if he didn't care about the threat at all...... laughed.
"That's amazing...... Genius. He said.
With his voice, the whole world shook violently.
It was like a sudden and strong earthquake, and the whole space of the hall shook violently—the cyan light suddenly flowed down from the ceiling, and it rippled on the walls of the hall like water, and kept going down, and the sparkling waves were like a river flowing quietly. Infiltrate into the water, into the walls, into the rocks, and everywhere it can reach. Then the air gradually fluctuated, and a striking blue light diffused throughout the cavern.
One qiē, also after the sparkling waves, became completely different.
It's still a dark underground. But the original neatness is gone...... masonry, walls, torch brackets. Every trace of artificiality has been replaced by poor rock, and the misaligned rock formation has become a semi-natural fissure. The so-called hall is just a space that expands along this natural void. Even behind Edward, the passage to the pit was nothing more than dozens of stone flakes on the rock wall that swirled back and forth.
However, in the depths of the cavern, a large coffin sits silently, the obsidian-polished exterior uncovered, revealing the half-weathered bones wrapped in a magical leather robe.
"Very genius and exquisite...... I'm also willing to spend money, and even I have to praise you. Alas, what a carelessness. ”
The human shook his head, his gaze did not fall on the changing surroundings, not even move a little towards the coffin in the distance, he just raised his head and stared at the human form on the scorpion—still disjointed, but the long scarlet tongue had disappeared with the changes around him, and the hideous, shriveled face had become much more rounded, and even the originally dry body had become muscular.
"I should have guessed that...... Only those of you who are closer to me can play such a trick, so what shall I call you? Duriel, the king of maggots, or Mosaeus, the king of scorpions?"
"It seems that we still can't compete with you. ”
The huge 'Scorpion King' spoke. He took a few steps back, and his body slowly retracted in the process, a kind of deformation that resembled compression, or splitting...... The giant scorpion monster turned into a huge man with an open chest and a backless body, and a somewhat uneasy woman standing behind him.
"Let's call Nubien and Theonlia......"
Edward withdrew his gaze and landed on the shimmering silver of the coffin...... It was an inconspicuous-looking bracelet, hidden beneath the corpse's robes, revealing only a hint of it, but when his gaze met it, the telemancer seemed to be slightly dizzy for a moment.
"You want to stop me from getting this?" he asked.
"We'll do our best. ”
"It doesn't really mean much to you to get it. ”
The two gods spoke at the same time, making the answer a little jumbled, and a little incorrect.
"You're so sure...... Oh, got it. The psychic warlock nodded slightly: "It seems that it has been prepared for a long time...... I guess it's impossible for me to be fooled by ordinary illusions, so you are using a mixture of real means, that is, this space is real, and the tombs of the shamans are also real, so I am confused by illusions, and it should be at the door of the lowest layer of this cemetery. But you've also expanded the space here with your own power to adapt it to my observations, haven't you?"
Neither god answered, but the slightly changing structure of divine power still revealed a few secrets of their relationship.
The human didn't care, smiled slightly, and continued: "Then, you don't plan to defeat me by this, otherwise it is much safer to do it directly, and you don't need to send me here, so in other words, you are delaying time, and since you have spent so much money, and even equipped with divine power to delay time, your purpose is naturally Elena and Cecilia, right?"
"Actually, we have succeeded, so, Lord Edward, you better give up the useless struggle, and besides, we have obtained your body, and with your current strength, I am afraid that it will not be able to fight back. ”
"If I can, I've always had a room, and if I don't leave room for something, it's only one way, and if I know someone who wants to be bad for me, or the people around me, then I'm going to do it for a tooth, and try not to leave any trouble. Unless I can't do it. (To be continued!)
