Chapter 879 Road to the Dark Sea

"Teacher, you said... let me stop?"

Hearing the words of the stargazer, Gray Mist twitched his mouth, gradually relaxed from the previous stiff state, and his tone returned to indifference.

"Now?"

"The maintenance of the dream of Yunival is necessary for this world. The moment you open the channel to the underworld, those dark beings lost in the cracks will immediately descend to the main material plane, and countless lives will die. I believe you are also very clear about this."

The stargazer stared at Gray Mist with a wise look, and his voice was calm and deep.

"So, I won't let you open the passage."

"You can't save the world either, teacher. Your approach is like using a mortal bandage to bandage the wound of a person cursed by bleeding. It is just a futile delay of the final moment!

From the beginning to now, you have always been like this, only caring about the false peace in front of you, but turning a blind eye to the despair of the future!"

A sneer appeared on Gray Mist's face, and a light gray balance appeared in his hand. On the tray on one side of the balance, the square trioctahedron core of Onichaos was shining.

"My path is different from yours after all. Between the present and the future, I chose to gain a glimmer of hope for the future!

As long as I can escape from Unival alive and leave this world, I will definitely be able to break through the legend, and in the endless years to come, I will find a new world in the depths of the underworld without any threat of darkness.

In that world, human beings can truly thrive and grow, instead of waiting for the doomsday to come in false security!"

"Alas..."

Looking at the gray fog in front of him who had made a choice, the stargazer sighed.

Unival's dream does need to be opened in the future, but not now, and it cannot be opened by the gray fog in this form.

"You should know that you are no match for me in your current state."

"Of course I know this, dear teacher Bruntz! Facing the great you, the only remaining ninth-level peak prophet, no matter how cautious I am, it is not too much.

So, I specially prepared this for you. Although it can only be used twice at most, it is enough to exert a power infinitely close to the legendary level."

There was a sneer on the corner of Gray Mist's mouth, and the scale in his hand trembled slightly, and a terrifying power was brewing in it.

"Fate is fair. Any existence covered by the web of fate has its own "weight". And the lower level of fate, within the power range of the scale, will not be able to make any form of interference with the upper level.

Now, let's measure the "weight" of your own destiny, compared with the part of a true extraterritorial god that once was?"

As the voice fell, Gray Mist directly activated the gray dark scale in his hand.

With a light click, the pillar in the center of the scale suddenly cracked with a hideous crack. At the same time, an invisible and noble power suddenly descended, covering the entire mountaintop.

A group of void-colored gas that symbolized the stargazer and shone with starlight appeared at the other end of the scale tray, but as time went on, the side where the core of Onichaos was placed still slowly sank.

"... Is this your plan?"

The stargazer frowned slightly. He could feel that as the tray sank, an invisible force of fate enveloped his body. This force was not lethal, but temporarily isolated him from the world.

This isolation was very strong, but not lasting. The stargazer could even sense that this isolation could only last for half a magic hour at most, and then it would collapse because it could not be maintained, but it was obviously enough for Gray Mist to do what he wanted.

The source of this power came from the gray metal scale. At this moment, it had already emitted a light sound of being overwhelmed and was gradually collapsing.

Gray Mist could not completely control the power of Onichaos' core, so he could only make it into a temporary prop to delay the time.

"You can leave for now, teacher! Next, this is my stage--"

Looking at the stargazer trapped by the power of the scale, Gray Mist breathed a sigh of relief.

For him, the most important enemy in the stargazer plan that he needed to be wary of had been temporarily solved by him.

Next, as long as he used the last effect of the scale to solve another enemy in his plan who might threaten him, his plan to escape from Unival this time would be a sure thing.

"It's so lively, you two."

At this moment, a peaceful voice sounded from mid-air, making Gray Mist's expression sink again.

In mid-air, a black-haired and black-eyed boy who appeared at some point in time walked down gracefully and slowly as if he was stepping on an invisible staircase.

A hooded figure followed him. From the two or three strands of pure golden hair scattered under the hood, as well as the light-colored cherry mouth and round nose, it can be vaguely seen that it is a girl.

"The Man in the Mirror, you finally dare to show up?"

Recognizing the unique fate of the person, Gray Mist held the scale and looked at Avis with a stern look.

"Why shouldn't I dare?"

Avis smiled, and his pure white magic dress shimmered in the aurora of the long night on the ice field.

"The core of Onichaos has been kept in your hands for a long time. Now it's time to return it to its original owner, Lord Gray Mist."

"Hehe--in that case, then come and get it!"

Listening to Avis's logic, Gray Mist laughed and raised the scale with a narrow crack in his hand again, facing Avis.

The magnificent power of destiny that once trapped the stargazer descended again, and a colorless gas with a little silver light appeared on the tray at the other end of the scale.

But unlike the stargazer, this time, after the tray swung up and down several times, it actually began to gradually tilt towards the side representing Avis's breath.

"What?!"

Looking at this result, Gray Mist's eyes revealed a deep disbelief.

Even the ninth-level peak stargazer will be temporarily trapped by the power of the scale. How can you, a newly promoted ninth-level prophet, have a higher status than the stargazer?

"Unfortunately, the trump card you prepared seems to be ineffective against me."

Sensing the fluctuations of the power of destiny, Avis's expression did not change.

The core of Onichaos is indeed of high status, but it is obviously not as good as the mysterious silver-white obelisk left by the high elf prophet Hill.

The next moment, it seemed to be the price of the failure of the restraint. Under the unwilling gaze of the gray fog, accompanied by a crisp cracking sound, the gray scale suddenly broke into two halves.

But at this moment, the gray fog looked fierce, and suddenly picked up the fallen Onichaos core, and then rushed into the Tower of Destiny without looking back.

In this regard, Claire, who was wearing a hood, couldn't help but look at Avis, but the latter did not move, just quietly waiting for something.

"Dong--"

The next moment, an illusory and vicissitudes of ancient bells suddenly sounded, as if it came from the eternal and distant time and space.

"Dong-Dong-Dong..."

At the same time, every stone brick of the tower was lit up with silver-white light, and the endless illusory bells echoed between the mountains and the ice field.

All the monsters living on the Evernight Ice Field instinctively looked in the direction where the bell came from, and then in a kind of great fear as if seeing a natural enemy, they ran madly in the opposite direction of the Tower of Destiny.

"What's going on?!"

This huge movement could no longer be covered by the magic that Gray Mist had set up before. Archbishop Gormore was immediately alarmed and looked towards the top of the mountains where the Destiny Stone Tower was located.

In his sight, a brilliant silver-white light column, with the stone tower as its foundation, penetrated straight into the depths of the cold night sky filled with aurora.

At the final landing point of the light column, a crack like an eye slowly opened. On both sides of the crack, all kinds of wonderful scenes of the dream world flashed by unpredictably.

And in the deepest part of the crack, the dark sea flashing with dark starlight revealed its true appearance.
