Section 525 Five Minutes
Initially, Angel was worried about time and wanted to get out of it as soon as possible. But as the scene progressed, he forgot about time and fell into Erdes's emotions.
However, this memory was not long. After all, this bead was not specifically used to carry memories, but only attached some fragments of memory scenes.
Almost not long after, the story came to an end.
During this period, Angel also slowly understood the origin of this bead.
The full name of this bead is "Edes's Talented Mirage Pearl", which is a kind of gifted magical power that Erdes nurtured and born from his own blood during his growth. Just like a pearl, after thousands of years of washing, life experience and wisdom are added to one body, and finally such a mirage pearl is refined.
It can be said that its talent for illusion depends entirely on this bead.
It was not until this time that Angel gradually understood why he had an inexplicable familiarity with the illusion node arranged by Erdes.
Because, this is simply a mirage!
One of the tributaries of the illusion system: mirage!
Mirage is a school of illusion that controls the natural world. It is considered an extremely high-end branch of the illusion system. The basic mirage illusion has a hard requirement. It can only be learned by at least a third-level apprentice, so Angel had no conditions to contact it before.
However, he had experienced mirages in person.
It was a food mirage! Not long ago, when Sini Cui Ze was cooking the eggs of the Ink Touch King, a food mirage appeared, but her mirage was too low-end.
Think about the mirage that Greya caused when she made food, which directly covered dozens of miles.
Although the food mirage is very different from the mirage of the illusion system and basically has no lethality; but it is actually very similar in essence. They are all illusions created by prying the natural world. Therefore, the food mirage is also a mirage.
It is for this reason that Angel feels extremely familiar, but he has not personally understood the mirage, so he has not been able to judge the nature of the illusion node.
After the story of Erdes ended, Angel thought that the matter had finally come to an end and he could hurry to the altar of the end. But what he didn't expect was that although there were no fragments of Erdes' memory, more violent information suddenly poured into his mind.
This time, it was no longer a story, but the information stored in the "Gifted Mirage Pearl" itself.
It seemed that the "Gifted Mirage Pearl" itself also felt the demise of the main body, and it felt some mysterious omens, knowing that this world was about to be destroyed. If no one came again, its inheritance would be completely lost. So, when Angel was looking for it, it lured Angel over through some kind of wonderful rhythm.
Although it knew that Angel killed the main body, it didn't matter, because even if Angel didn't kill it, Erdes would die soon. And...Erdos's own will had long wanted to be completely annihilated, but the "gods" didn't let him die.
The gifted mirage pearl poured all the information about Erdes's gifted magical powers into Angel.
Although this information is only the innate magical power of Edes, it is difficult for Angell to reproduce this magical power without Edes' blood. But it contains a lot of insights about "the nature of heaven and earth". If Angell wants to learn mirage illusion in the future, these will be extremely useful to him.
Even if Angell wants to learn elemental tricks such as "controlling clouds and rain, making waves", he can get twice the result with half the effort!
A wizard-level monster, nearly three thousand years of understanding of nature! It can be said that this information is absolutely precious and extraordinary, and even priceless.
But Angell... doesn't want it at all.
Because time is passing!
If there is no sword of Damocles hanging over his head, he might be excited to accept it. But the countdown is stuck here. If he misses the final countdown because of accepting this information, what's the point of coming?
He's dead, and this information is in vain no matter how precious it is.
Angell doesn't want it, and even resists it. But the "Genius Mirage Pearl" had no intention of letting him go, but it seemed to sense Angel's thoughts, and its transmission speed was even faster.
This made Angel miserable, he felt that his head was always on the verge of exploding. If the information transmission rate was a little higher, he might have died directly.
The light continued.
This precious inheritance that even the people in the Sky Mechanical City didn't know about was forced into Angel's mind.
Even though Angel was full of rejection.
When the last bit of information was poured into his mind, the light on the Genius Mirage Pearl dimmed and finally disappeared completely.
Not only did the light disappear, but the Genius Mirage Pearl itself was also broken into transparent crystal sand, which fell from Angel's fingers.
At the same time, the illusion nodes in the entire body of Erdes completely disappeared.
Because of the redundant information in his mind, Angel felt that his brain was about to explode, and he seemed to faint in the next second. However, he thought of the "countdown", forcibly suppressed the discomfort of his body, and staggered out.
He didn't know how long it took to receive the information, but since the Purification Sea hadn't collapsed yet, there should be some time.
After he rushed out, he took the Nightmare back into his body.
As soon as the nightmare disappeared, Angel saw the situation of everyone. Nausicaa sat on the ground, stroking the butterfly with her palm, with a sad expression and a dazed look in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something; Qili was holding Luna, holding the lantern at her feet, and muttering the names of her parents; Shan was particularly resigned to her fate, lying on Gan Ke's head, whispering her last words that outsiders could not hear.
Everyone's faces were very ugly, and Angel's expression was even more condensed when he heard Shan's last words.
Seeing this situation, he had a strong ominous premonition in his heart.
"How much time is left in the countdown?!" Angel asked tremblingly.
Qili and Shan ignored Angel, and Nausicaa raised her head and said to Angel: "Forget it, you have tried your best, but... you may not be able to make it."
"How long will it take?!"
Nausicaa whispered: "At most... 5 minutes..."
When Angel heard this, it seemed as if a thunderbolt struck in his mind, and the whole person was shaky.
It is still 500 miles away from the end of the world!
5 minutes, 500 miles!
If his gravity veins were still left, he might be able to fly over by force, but now not only has his gravity source dried up, he has also taken a sealing potion, and leaving his body is tantamount to committing suicide.
In this case, he is completely in time!
"Let's go. Maybe there is still a chance, there is still a chance, there must be a chance." Angel muttered to himself and walked out first.
Although the others seemed to have accepted their fate, everyone's emotions were actually suppressed, and they were more calm. Since Angel was going to leave, everyone followed him with calm thoughts.
...
Time went back to half an hour ago.
In the valley where the Purification Garden was located, thousands of wizards came one after another, hanging in the air. Some of these wizards may have grudges, but here, they all pretended not to know each other, each occupying one side, and no one paid attention to anyone else. Only extremely close friends gathered together.
Among them, the wizards of Sky Mechanical City were the most united. They all stood on the stone wall of the Purification Garden, standing or sitting, leaning or lying, or hanging in the air.
All the wizards stared at the huge light screen, and the image on the light screen was the Altar of the End.
Some people were coveting the glowing purification law in the center of the altar, but more people were looking through the light screen to see if there were any apprentices of their own.
Not long after the countdown ended, a large number of apprentices holding the Sword of Meri appeared on the altar.
"Isn't that Della? It's really good. Della is enough to lead the new generation of the Mechanical City." Several wizards on duty in Sky City were whispering.
"I saw my apprentice. Whitney performed very well this time."
"Hey, why hasn't my little apprentice appeared yet?"
"..."
Sabo and Midora also sat on one side, looking at the light screen. Sabo sighed: "In fact, Diablo can also go to purify the garden. I have seen several third-level apprentices at the Altar of the End."
"Most of these third-level apprentices have been stuck in bottlenecks for many years. They are all here to comprehend the laws, using a one in ten thousand chance to make a desperate attempt. With Diablo's qualifications, there is no need to gamble on this little chance." Midora smiled.
Sabo: "Speaking of which, Angel has also comprehended the law. Will he comprehend the law again this time?"
Medo: "If the law is so easy to comprehend, is it still called the law?"
Sabo nodded, "That's right." Sabo was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "But why didn't I see Angel on the altar? Has he not arrived at the altar yet, or..."
Medo naturally understood what Sabo had not said, but he didn't believe that Angel would not be able to make it. He smiled and said: "Maybe he is still on the way. With Angel's strength, it is still easy for him to survive."
At the same time, Muse, who was suspended in the air with Rosen, was also thinking about this question:
"Why hasn't Angel appeared yet? I have prepared the image stone. I didn't record his handle last time, and I also recorded his heroic appearance when he solved the flying fish and the ink touch king. How boring..." Muse muttered that when the purification was done, Angel's embarrassing appearance when the impurities in his body were eliminated would be a handle.
When Muse was thinking this, Rosen glanced at him, looked at his calculating expression, and sighed slightly.
I don't know who is going to be unlucky.
Suddenly, Rosen's body stiffened, and he took out a strange meter from the space. This meter was very similar to the scale used to test mental power, with a scale from 0% to 100%.
At this time, the meter was glowing, and the scale, which was originally 55%, made a leap to 62%.
Muse also noticed the change in the numbers on the scale. Others may not understand the meaning of these numbers, but Muse is very clear because this scale was made by him.
The scale used to measure the degree of blood sacrifice in the Purification Garden.
When the scale reaches 100%, the Purification Garden will be promoted.
When the entire Flying Fish World was sacrificed, the scale was only 50%. After the killings of the apprentices in the Purified Sea these days, the scale has advanced to 55%, but now, it suddenly jumped from 55% to 62%, a direct jump of 7%. This means that just now, it exceeded the total blood sacrifices generated by all the apprentices' killings before!
"Did the main sacrifice get killed?" Muse asked in a low voice?
Rosen frowned: "It's very likely, and judging from the scale jump at the moment of sacrifice, it may be one of the two most important main sacrifices. Either the ancestor of the mermaid tribe, or... Erdes."
"These two are both wizard-level existences, can anyone kill them?" Muse just thought it was too ridiculous.
"I don't believe it either." Rosen shook his head: "But you'll know after you see it."
Rosen waved his hand, and the light shone, and the picture on the huge light screen changed instantly.
