Chapter 1548
"Sure enough, it takes about fifteen to twenty minutes to travel through every twenty floors."
"We were sent to the first floor because we could only be sent there."
"If we knew the specific floor of this [Endymion Tower], we could calculate the time when the pollutants in the tower began to become active. Unfortunately..."
As they climbed up, they relieved their stress by finding topics and discussing with each other.
They were like walking on a single-plank bridge leading to the other side of the cliff, and their mood must be depressed.
Dak had already given up hope for the arrival of [Demon Lord Aldridge], and had begun to estimate in his heart that if there were no special moves such as [Steel Body] and [Lightning Burst], what level of combat power the fused [Four-Winged Elvis] could show.
——That's really not ideal!
But [Demon Lord Aldridge], who lost [Pollution in the Middle], really found it difficult to pass through such a thick black fog and enter the tower.
Then there was another twenty floors.
Dak found that the black fog on this floor had spread into the interior of the floor, and the space inside that could accommodate people was getting smaller and smaller.
Twenty floors up, the black fog seeped in further. There was very little space for people.
Dak looked at the safe space with only ten meters in diameter and felt a little worried.
But after climbing up another twenty floors, the whole space suddenly became clear again.
Looking around, you will find that the black fog that entered from this floor has re-condensed into a mixture of solid and liquid pollutants.
Those dark pollutants cling to the window, like the ground city. But they are not solidified, but are not much different from the pollutants under the tower.
"How many floors have we walked?" Dak asked. "One hundred floors." Oli said.
"Is it already one hundred floors?" Dak couldn't help looking out the window. The twelve-color brilliance visible outside the window is already very clear.
Obviously, the huge halo above the top of the tower is already quite close to this floor.
It can be seen that the distance between them and the top of the tower is also very close.
Although usually, the end of climbing the tower is at the top of the tower.
But after finding out that it might be true, people still couldn't help but sigh.
"Since we're here..."
Dark thought about it, and finally summoned [Curse Cage: Impmon] before continuing to go up.
Even if [Impermon] stayed on the carriage, it could only come up with some ideas, but [Magical Beast: Destroyer] and [Tailmon] were obviously smarter than it.
Summoning it here, in theory, shouldn't have much impact on the battle over there.
"Ah——"
[Curse Cage: Impmon], which was suddenly recalled and released, continued to scream.
Dark frowned slightly and flicked it hard on the forehead.
[Impermon] paused for a moment, then looked up at Dark with a suspicious face, and immediately burst into tears of joy.
"What happened?" Dark quickly stopped it from continuing to perform. [Impermon] calmed down and said, "Nothing, I just met a dragon."
"Dragon?" Dark asked.
[[Impmon] nodded and said: "Who would have thought that there was a dragon sleeping in the black fog? We wanted to go straight through the black fog, but we didn't expect to hit it directly, and the whole carriage almost fell apart."
Dark asked: "How strong is that dragon?"
[Impmon] said: "I don't know, I haven't fought head-on... but it flies very fast."
"Did it avoid the battle?" Dark couldn't help but wonder.
[Impmon] immediately denied: "Of course not!"
Dark nodded and said: "Avoiding battle is also a strategy. How long will it take to get here?"
[Impmon] said: "We are planning to use the dragon to open the way
Dark said: "It seems that it will take some time, let's continue to go up. "
He did not hesitate this time.
After walking through a hundred floors, his mentality has also changed.
The rest of the people basically follow his lead, but they are also secretly preparing to deal with the danger that may appear at any time.
Then the next twenty floors, a completely different change occurred!
The atmosphere of this floor is obviously different.
Oli took the lead to go upstairs and set up a light shield at the first time. But Dak and others who followed behind still did not hear any biological sounds such as beast roars.
The only thing that can be seen faintly is the whistling of the wind. They walked out of the stairs carefully.
There are floors above, but it seems to be covered by fog and the whole picture cannot be seen clearly. After they came to this floor, they quickly spread out into a formation and carefully observed the surroundings.
The windows of this floor are still clinging to pollutants condensed from black fog, but those pollutants have stretched into the interior like the roots of a giant tree.
Looking up, you will find that the ceiling is also covered with pollutants in the shape of tree roots.
Those pollutants are ready to move, as if they are alive. "Don't disturb them. "Oli whispered.
Everyone nodded slightly, and then they were cautious and didn't make any sound. At this time, [Magic Beast: Goddess of the Heart's Eyes] suddenly looked up and said something that no one expected: "We are almost at the top."
After climbing up 120 floors, Dark and others were finally about to reach the top of [Tower of Endymion]!
[Magic Beast: Goddess of the Heart's Eyes]'s eyes penetrated the fog and saw the truth.
The support pillars that extend from the bottom to here are about to reach the top. "Continue going up, or wait a little longer?" Ollie turned back and asked Duck.
Duck frowned slightly and looked out the window again.
But pollutants cling to it and black fog spreads. The windows on this floor are still completely blocked, making it impossible to see anything.
At this time, [Demon King Eldridge] and [Delumon] and other magic elves are using the magic dragon to clear the way.
But they are actually still hanging around in the middle level. It is extremely difficult to break through the barrier and get here.
Dark is mentally prepared to summon [Demon Lord Eldridge] again.
"It's not a good place to stay for a long time."
He raised his hand and motioned for everyone to continue going up.
After walking up two more floors, they rested for a while at the entrance of the corridor and then continued forward.
This time, I walked through the last eighteen floors in one go!
The fog above their heads naturally dispersed in their eyes, finally revealing the top of the support column!
That support column supports an entire plane, and the staircase that winds around the support column only reaches this special floor - it does not exist. Going up to the top of the tower can lead to the stairs.
At the top of the support column, thick, blood-vessel-like pipes drilled out of the column and extended in all directions. When they touched the outer wall, they went vertically downward and turned back against the floor. Finally... Stay behind a total of twelve idols.
At a glance, the twelve statues look like the twelve heavenly gods. After seeing all the gold medals, everyone present had an idea of what the Twelve Heavenly Gods looked like.
They held their breath and watched closely.
The twelve statues of gods are lifelike, but they all have their eyes closed.
Directly in front of these twelve statues, there are tables of different styles, all of which are empty.
After looking around, Duck asked in a low voice: "Which pipe does the damaged pipeline belong to?"
[Magical Beast: The Goddess of the Heart's Eye] reached out and said lightly: "It should be the statue of Hermes himself."
"Hermes?" Dark couldn't help but be silent. But in fact, it can only be Hermes!
But now that the statue of Hermes is already here, where is he himself?
Is he possessed by the idol?
After all, what is the purpose of the existence of these statues, and why do they need to absorb [Angel Essence]?
It’s impossible. These statues are to be cultivated into the physical bodies of gods, right? Dark couldn’t help but frown slightly.
Although cultivating a god statue into a god body sounds like nonsense, what he wants to study in the future is actually a very similar topic.
Chapter 999 Game on the Tower of Endymion (8k) >>
However, he instinctively felt that it was not like that.
In other words, it hasn’t reached that point yet!
The activity of Hermes and the emergence of fragments of Zeus's consciousness basically confirmed that these twelve gods did not die during [Twilight of the Gods].
Their souls and bodies may have collapsed, but their consciousness—that is, their consciousness—is still there.
But at present, except for the consciousness of Hermes, the consciousness of other gods is in a state similar to sleep.
If his judgment was not wrong, then...the consciousness of the gods except Hermes should be sleeping in the statue in front of him.
The possibility that those [angel essences] are only used to maintain the existence of the god's consciousness is actually greater.
But if that's the case, doesn't the pipeline they destroyed have no value in itself?
After all, the consciousness of Hermes himself should no longer be in the statue. In other words, these statues of gods were built together with the [Tower of Endymion] when Hermes was still in a "healthy" state!
"No! Hermes must be in a very bad state right now. He may not have needed it before, but now he definitely needs the infiltration of [Angel Essence] just like the consciousness of other gods!"
Dark stared closely at the statue of Hermes and couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.
It would be nice if Ergani was here now.
The statue of Athena is over there, and the consciousness of Athena may also be sleeping in it.
If Ergani was there, he should be able to recognize it immediately. Dark turned to look at [Magical Beast: Goddess of the Heart's Eye].
The latter obviously knew what he wanted to ask, and immediately shook his head and said: "There is air, but you can't see it."
"Let's go and take a look. But don't act rashly." Dak raised his hand and said.
After everyone heard this, they all walked cautiously towards the statue. But no one came to the statue and stopped at a relatively safe distance.
Even Fred North, who talked about "inheritance", didn't actually go to the statue to accept the "inheritance".
Everyone knows they have reached the "end". If the person behind the scenes is Hermes.
Then Hermes' purpose of transferring them from the flesh and blood passage to [Heaven] and then to this [Tower of Endymion] should be achieved soon.
Twelve statues of gods are in front, and there is a table in front of each statue. It was as if he was waving to them there, asking them to place the gold medals they had finally collected on those tables.
"Fight, fight, and offer the spoils."
Duck whispered to himself and walked to the statue of Hermes. The golden light in his eyes flashed, and the [Eye of Truth] had been opened. The value of those statues in his eyes was very high, but as expected, the value of the statues belonging to Hermes was lower than the others.
Is it because of the lack of [Angel Essence] or because Hermes' consciousness is not in the statue?
"It should be the latter, right?"
Thinking so, Dak took out the twelve gold medals from his backpack one by one. Since it is basically certain that everything is controlled by Hermes.
Then think based on this.
Hermes has collected a lot of information about the human world over the years. There is no reason for him not to be interested in magic technology.
Even some rituals that may be going on now are based on magic theory.
After taking out all the twelve gold medals, Dak suddenly said: "What do you think will happen if I throw all these gold medals out now... or throw them into pollutants?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly stagnated.
The rest of the people who were just observing the statue carefully turned their eyes to him.
Even Auri and Aurora had strange expressions on their faces. But Dak emphasized: "I'm not kidding."
"Ahem!" As if sensing his seriousness, Fred North coughed and said, "If you do that, won't Hermes be angry?"
Dak shook his head, but said: "Even if he is angry, so what?" Just when he proposed that idea, he suddenly figured it out. The current situation is obviously that Hermes needs help.
Why should the person being asked be trembling?
Besides, how much combat power does Hermes have left now? In the final analysis, you don't say a word, and you want others to complete the work well, so that you can sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Is it possible?
Thinking like this, he suddenly picked up a gold medal, and without looking at which god it belonged to, he threw it hard towards the window!
Outside the window on the top floor, there was unexpectedly no black fog. From here, you can clearly see the edge of the huge halo. The twelve colors of light illuminated the night sky with colorful colors.
