Chapter One Thousand and Sixteen
However, the astral boundary in front of me is so comfortable and calm, and there is no so-called hindrance at all......
Or is this not really a star plane, but just another layer of space beneath that tower?
Edward's eyes narrowed, and a chaotic darkness reflected in his gaze.
When you look forward to it, in that clear starry sky, the incongruous parts have already appeared in front of you...... It was like a dull rain cloud, a huge and cascading shadow, twisting and turning in the silver space, and countless astral dust or other inexplicable things were constantly rotating around them, forming a strange pattern before the darkness.
It seems to be just a cloud of smoke that occupies the center of the field of vision, but after sweeping a glance, the black color will make people have a certain realization in their hearts - it is an incomparably grand existence that spans hundreds of miles and contains thousands of mountains...... It's not any darkness, but all the star sand is slowly being sucked in by some kind of being, and the falling silver sand, and even the starlight on it, are constantly sinking into the distorted space in the center of the darkness.
What does it take to do this?
Edward, who once controlled the laws of space, couldn't answer this question for a while...... But no matter what, when the gaze passed over all of them, the center of that large cloud of strange shadows was deeply indulgent...... Vaguely shaped, the Psychic Warlock couldn't help but take a deep breath......
There, there was a human figure.
Absorbing the glorious darkness, it obscured everything there, but the myriad of twisted, fragmented, and entangled spatial gaps were in Edward's other senses. Sketch out his appearance—roughly as you can tell, a body-like appearance...... Yet as in the dark area, this huge body. It also needs to be described at least in tens of thousands of units of measurement, and compared to those stormy winds that rotate like a storm and are far thicker than hundreds of human beings hugging each other, they are just decorative textures.
Is that the essence of Azus, or is it just to show the appearance of his being's kingdom?
The moment his mind realized something, he seemed to feel some kind of visceral trembling...... It was someone who was trying to get through his head. What tore his spirit apart but could not do it, chaos existed with a roar of resentment. Penetrate time, penetrate space. Reverberated everywhere imaginable.
Hiss——!
Edward was in a trance when he heard the sound of two women inhaling sharply beside him and behind him, but perhaps it was just an illusion, it was he who was really inhaling—some kind of pressure that swept through his mind. Beasts passed through his mind. Then it gradually faded away, but she was left with a severe headache like burning temporal lobes!
The mere movement of his mind was terrifying, and Edward had no doubt that he would not need any preparation if he wanted to do anything, just a little thought, and it would be enough!
This is what the essence of the gods, the most powerful life form in the multiverse, can do? But when did Azus, as a mid-level god, have such incomparably terrifying powers? It wasn't Azus anymore, but some even stranger creature in the astral plane?
"Nope. That's what you call God. A certain will suddenly slipped into his mind and described for him what was happening in front of him: "But she is not what you call a god. ”
It was clear with some bells, and it clearly belonged to Yugat Shira...... It's just that her words are already faint, and with a faint crackling noise, every word is dull and indistinct. It seems possible to understand how much attrition and hindrance she has experienced: "According to your judgment standards, although most of her is dead, and even her body has begun to disintegrate in the shackles of this space, there is still a part of the residual consciousness that pushes her in the depths of that body...... continues to continue her life. ”
Divine...... Corpse. It was the withering and decaying realm itself, which had fallen into a long and painful sleep, sinking into the endless silver void of the astral plane, forgotten by the multiverse...... The god of death.
And more importantly...... It was her, not him.
The World Tree's designation of the gods does not require the use of special words like mortals, so the distinct pronoun phrases represent a fact...... To the astonishment of all mortal things, Glacia finally muttered, "Goddess of magic?"
Legend has it that countless gods and gods have lived and died in the multiverse, and the corpses of the gods floating in the astral realm are even more numerous, but the astral plane has buried their existence with an even more infinite vastness...... But based on the current situation, if this appeared behind the realm built by Azus, and the seemingly intact corpse of the god was a female deity, then she could only be Mithra—and only this goddess of magic was worth Azus's great trouble to find, even at the expense of leaving the kingdom of God, and occupying the branches of the World Tree to hide her.
The corpse of the goddess of magic.
This is undoubtedly an astonishing fact, and extremely valuable information—the corpse of a high god cannot be compared to any so-called treasure, although compared to a god, it is nothing more than a dregs floating in space without all its qiē. But it is precisely because of this that the powerful energy and qualities that remain in it can be used by others, even if it is just a mortal thing.
If the devils could obtain such a complete god corpse, and it was also the corpse of Mithra, who once controlled the magic web, what kind of powerful tools could they make, and what kind of help would they gain in the war for supremacy in the upper realm, and even in the multiverse?
A slight flame ignited in Glesia's eyes, and for a moment she almost forgot herself, her avatar slightly turbulent, gathering all her power on the connection that crossed the space!
"It's pointless to think about it, save your energy and observe carefully, and use your brain by the way...... We're still in the kingdom of Azus, and there's no way you're going to be able to contact anyone......"
But isn't this the astral plane?
The instant surprise on the Devil Princess's face made Edward sigh.
Astral Plane. Home of memories and thoughts, gaps in all planes, passages. The thin, but equally pervasive, infinitely wide layer of the parts that are squeezed together...... It is a desolate barren land compared to the intricacies of the planes, and the only most recognizable feature is the name of the cemetery of the gods. It is a place where the gods will inevitably return after death...... But if we think about it the other way around, then the meaning of the so-called 'inevitable' is that only the astral realm can accommodate the gods of death.
So, here is the astral plane.
But it's not an astral realm either......
"Half-planes, no, fragments of planes?" whispered the psychic to the strange answer, "To be exact. This is the coffin that Azus made for Mythra......"
Here, it is a piece that has been torn off from a part of the astral plane by a powerful force. It is then placed into a fault within the World Tree...... Only here can he be assured that the goddess's body will leave the astral plane without crumbling and disappearing, completely swallowed up by the rules of the multiverse - this is how the gods act. Far from being predictable by the ordinary, let alone the so-called confrontation.
"If yes. So where is Majesty Azus?"
Ariel asked. Then he jumped out of the simple back chair and came to Edward's side.
The Blazing Sky Divine Servant had already straightened his body and spread his six wings, and even the cross holy sword in his hand had already ignited a raging holy flame. "Don't worry about me," she said, noticing the Psychic Warlock's gaze, in a cold voice. Clear and sonorous, like the exchange of sword blades.
However, tough appearance. The psychic warlock couldn't misjudge her state—the tentacles of her mind had already sent that messy mess back into Edward's mind.
The laws of the astral realm determine the mode of soul dominance, so even in this fragment of the astral plane, every physical pain will be suspended, but at this moment Ariel is still under unspeakable pressure...... It was a pain that was poured directly on the soul, and it was no less than the strange sensation of the nerves.
"You Celestial Guys are always like that, like to show off your strength, even if it's false. ”
Grathea, who was also suffering from that pain, gave a soft sneer, but before she could arouse the hostility of others, the devil princess cleverly shifted the subject in another direction: "Whatever it is, this is a good opportunity, and Azus is completely unable to get out of dealing with us now. He's busy making gods right now. ”
"What do you mean?"
"It's about giving birth to offspring...... God and God's. Glesia giggled, but soon the laughter came to an abrupt end, her body curled up slightly, trembling and letting out a subtle moan, and after a while, she was finally able to control herself: "The abnormality we have now is because the intentions of these two obscene gods are mixed in this space, so that our minds will be affected and resonate with them...... If we had leaned a little further, I'm afraid that those things would have only been left on our minds. However, Lord Edward, you are obviously not affected, so now is a very good opportunity to hurry up and absorb their divine powers, you can get not only the divine powers of Azus, but also the divine rules of Mythra? ”
God's intentions resonate with man...... This seems to explain the reason why the two of them are so abnormal, but ......
"Isn't Mysra dead?"
"Oh, Lord Edward. Don't ask such stupid questions, is it okay, is it possible that your level of existence will still be bound by the stupid knots of human beings?" Grathia laughed again: "The death of gods is different from that of people, except that they have lost their own minds, but their corpses are still the embodiment of their spirits, as long as this basic spirit is not extinguished, what is so strange that they want to mix in an active mind and mind and create a new spirit?"
In other words, Mysra is now dead and not stiff...... Isn't that the same as that Azus is raping the corpse?
And what's even weirder is that this activity will eventually produce results, that is, ...... Zombies give birth?
"Of course, it's not true to say that the offspring are actually talking about, you know, the thoughts, the beliefs, the feelings and the energies make up the essence of a god, so they are related to human beings. It's not the same as a devil or an animal, it's actually more like a ghost. ”
The Devil Princess narrowed her eyes and stared into the silver glow in the distance. The dark form that blurred out: "If it is only gods and humans, they may be able to produce ordinary offspring, but that offspring must be 'hatched' with the help of another human body, in fact, it is just to transform human beings directly into demigods, and there is not so much trouble between gods and gods, as long as a spirit body is created." Of course, it's not right to say 'offspring'. That's a newborn, the slut of Mithra. Hmph, should I say that she really deserves to be a high god? She had found a husband like Azus from the beginning. He has given birth to several daughters, so that he can do these things when he dies, right? No wonder this slut has fallen several times in the past tens of thousands of years, but each time he will be resurrected after a short time......
It's weird.
Edward shook his head. I don't know what to say for a while. But this time. Ariel muttered to herself suddenly.
"In other words, is this a similar method to the 'coming of the Son of God?" she said.
"What is the coming of the Son of God?"
"The High Gods are able to deal with dangers that may endanger them in many ways, and when the god of destruction, Baal, foresaw that he might die, he used a similar method, giving birth to offspring with a hundred various mortal beings, and dispersing his essence in their bodies. He also took the name of the Son of God, but in the end he failed. ”
"How did it fail?"
"It doesn't have much to do with the current situation. ”
For that person's meaningless questioning, Ariel couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied. But after a pause, she continued to give a detailed explanation: "That time it was because of Barr's hundred children. There was a girl who was a special being, who was kind in heart and upheld justice, and eventually became a holy warrior of Tyre. She was also aided by a young genius Grand Arcanist, who worked together to kill or persuade all of her siblings. It also completely purified the divine power of the evil god, because Baal's power was too thin, so although the process was long, it was ultimately successful, and Baal's resurrection plan was completely shattered, and he never appeared in this world again. ”
"It's a legend. ”
Edward smiled suddenly, "It would be great if Misla wanted to do the same. ”
Of course, it's just a good wish.
Now the presiding officer of this 'birth' is Azus, and he obviously can't do such a thing to disperse his power. What's more, Mithra's power does not need to be dispersed - as the goddess of the magic net, once she is reborn, she will be completely integrated with the magic net, and the power will be endless, and there is no need to gather anything at all......
But it is precisely because of this that Edward must not let her be resurrected like this!
Otherwise, who knows if this goddess will come to him to avenge that arrow?
After laughing, the Psychic Warlock's eyes narrowed slightly—a golden glow was slowly spreading in the black glow, rippling like a ripple of water, and then slowly dissipating.
Obviously, the god had already sensed something.
Almost half a breath, the center of the dark canopy cracked......
The bright electric light tore through the path of strong light, and lines of blood-red light began to appear on it! At this moment, the silver center, the darkness was like a huge beast opening its mouth, and its body was the silver starlight that was so huge that it could cover the entire sky. And those blood-red lines in the darkness are the fangs in its mouth!
Thunder flashes, thunderbolts are silent!
The blue-blue electric light instantly reflected the surrounding silver mist clouds, revealing the true face of this earth-shattering spell—a rolling energy storm completely wrapped in brilliance, rushing straight down from the end of the field of vision! The luster of lightning had instantly reflected the surroundings like a sea of light!
The astral plane, the realm of mind and magic, the well-developed muscles are useless in the Silver Void...... Only the heart and will are the true power that can dominate.
As gods, thoughts and feelings are condensed into huge masses, which are indescribably powerful beings in this plane, and mortal minds become those never-ending astral sands and the winds that drive them...... And God's mind is more than just a storm
The light and shadow suddenly pierced the sky, and then every qiē was rendered in this light...... The huge stamping instantly swept all the qiē, turning half of the entire space into a billowing silver storm! The silver smoke and dust were torn into strange and impermanent shapes by the chaotic air current, dancing wildly! But at the end of the sky, in the center of the landing point of the thunder light, there was a raised circle...... A faint luster, drawing a hemispherical magic shield in the air with a radius of dozens of feet, the glowing luster was like water waves, seemingly weak, but in its protection, even the chaotic smoke and dust did not waver at all——
(To be continued......)
