Chapter 863 The Man in the High Castle

Helios' core suddenly fell into darkness.

Only a ray of residual light that suddenly dimmed and shrank was left.

Dead silence.

"what happened?"

In the control center, He Di, who maintained the secret ritual, suddenly raised his eyes, his dark eyes filled with rage and madness, and his cold aura made people shudder.

"Did that guy Garland infiltrate here so quickly?"

He raised his finger and called out to the swarm in the darkness, causing countless deformed monsters to burst into mad screams. Suddenly, ferocious killing intent burst out from the darkness, and huge silhouettes emerged one after another.

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open.

"No need to overreact."

The man who was drinking walked in and glanced around casually. The incarnation of flesh and desire, the Grand Master, raised his head and drank the strong wine. He wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "It has nothing to do with Garland."

"What do you mean?" He Di's face became more and more ugly: "Did the secret ceremony fail? It's impossible. We have been preparing for so long...could something go wrong?"

"It's no surprise anything goes wrong."

The drinking man sneered: "The divinity has been lost and used... If we look to the root cause, I'm afraid it is the existence of a certain 'superior', right?"

The superior one.

He Di stiffened and fell into silence.

Even if you are a believer in the element of destruction, you are not so brainless. Rather, on the contrary, the followers of the Piper have always been cunning and thoughtful beings in Hell, and the best among them are even known as the Fools of the Abyss, haunting the Silent Zone and serving the Lords of Hell.

He is both a messenger spreading chaos and a wise man creating disaster.

All he needed was a hint from Publius, and he understood instantly - in alchemy, the superior is a virtual finger, used to refer to the elements above the elements, which is better than the results and above the pinnacle. peak.

Just as the Philosopher's Stone is superior to the Star Antimony, the wearer of the crown is superior to the wearer and at the same time suppressed by a higher-ranking ruler.

Because of this, I couldn't help but feel cold all over my body!

Compared with the prototype of a god, what else does a superior person have besides a complete god?

Garland actually worked a god to come to Helios!

For a moment, he actually had the urge to abandon the results of a hundred years of management here, pray for the blessing of the flute player, dive deep, and escape from the current situation.

But then, he reacted.

If those who came to Helios were real gods, then both Hedi and Publius would have been wiped out long ago.

Helios is different from the current situation. It still retains the environment of the age of gods and has not been shrouded by the three major blockades.

In this kind of place, the gods themselves can exert 100% or even 200% of their power, without even moving their little fingers. As long as they show their sacred posture, all mortal things will evaporate.

Not to mention those who are solidified in hell like them.

"Could it be that whose authority is this?" he asked cautiously.

"I don't know. I didn't reveal my identity at all, and I didn't show any miracles."

The drinking man laughed strangely: "However, the secret ritual of invasion is very familiar... Although I have never met him, I have been famous for a long time."

"Who?" One name after another suddenly appeared in He Di's mind.

From the present situation to the border, from the Green Sun to the Elysian Land, and then to the thoughtless people favored by Bo Xun, none of them fit the bill.

"I've searched all over the country several times, and who else has such exaggerated metallurgical attainments, and who has perfected the ideals of the Utopia?"

The drinker grinned and his smile became cruel: "This time, the boat really capsized in the gutter and was stepped on by the younger generation..."

At the same time, at the other end of Helios, in the terrifying heat like a furnace, Garland raised his eyes from the molten iron and looked at the tall tower in the distance.

There is also the 'phantom' projected from the Hell Fortress at dusk.

His expression gradually became enlightened.

But soon, he became cold again and read out the name word by word.

"—Mikhail!"

At this moment, in addition to the unknown being who suddenly overturned the situation, there were actually three great masters who gathered their power on Helios!

At the same time, the glow of the sun suddenly appeared in front of Huai Shi's eyes.

Apollo's divinity moved slightly and turned into a pillar of light, which forcibly opened a hole in the seemingly eternal dusk, shrouded Hercules, wrapped him up, and disappeared.

Huai Shi raised her head and looked at the majestic and desolate scene that she had not seen for a long time. She suddenly became confident, pointed into the distance, and couldn't wait to urge: "Quick, Tong Ji, kill them!"

"..."

In Tong Ji's projection, her expression suddenly became complicated, and she looked into the distance.

"Huh?" Huai Shi looked over in confusion: "What's wrong? You must have touched it again!"

Tong Ji shrugged, "Sorry, I'm just a poor, helpless and edible crow, I don't understand what you're talking about."

Huai Shi was shocked, "Didn't you just do such a big job!"

"A whole job is a whole job, and a fight is a fight. They can't be confused."

Tong Ji innocently spread her hands: "Sister, I'm just a bottle of ink. Don't place unrealistic expectations on me, okay? You have to do your own thing."

Huai Shi suddenly felt bald and couldn't help but want to pull out his hair. When he looked around at the completely different disc-shaped world in front of him, he was full of confusion: "Then what is this?"

"Duel before the gods, Huai Shi."

Tong Ji looked down at Helios, which was shrouded in an invisible grid, and her smile became extremely happy.

Helios represents the afterglow of the age of gods, the last territory in the world where divine grace still exists.

Since Publius wants to create a god on Helios, and is even about to enter the completion stage, this place is equivalent to being under the witness of gods and destiny.

At this moment, Helios was undoubtedly in front of the throne of God.

All the struggles and killings that occur here are all necessary to create a mysterious ritual. If this is the case, then... wouldn't it be more natural to follow the methods used by the gods in the past to resolve disputes?

"So, I just did a little bit of manipulation."

Tong Ji smiled, raised her finger, and made a gesture of an almost non-existent gap.

Using the existence of the God's Wedge, he briefly simulated the existence of the gods, and based on this, he instantly grasped the highest authority of Helios and forcibly advanced the [Revision of Events] in the Book of Destiny.

This time, she used the factory settings of the server to steal the house while two administrator accounts were competing for permissions and hit the nozzle, and she also flashed a new system on the server.

In the blink of an eye, the old hen turns into a crow.

The computer room is still the same computer room, but unfortunately the inside is completely different.

They even quickly connected new devices and added a new administrator account!

Utilizing the dual attributes of space itself as 'real' and 'hell', and using "Lord of the Flies" as a medium, it resonates and calls out to the world beneath the depths.

Then he summoned the broken eternal core through the casting furnace of Huaishi, opening the path between the Land of Dusk and Helios.

Using a two-pronged approach, the projection of the Twilight Land and the prototype of the Heavenly Hell Fortress came here at the same time.

In other words, if you carefully analyze everything that just happened, you will find it.

In this process, Publius was responsible for providing her with divinity, and Galand was responsible for providing the opportunity to implement it. The person responsible for maintaining this twilight land... was Mikhail far away in hell!

"Three great masters will serve you alone!"

When Tong Ji explained to this point, she couldn't help but beam with excitement: "Do you think this blessing can be smaller?"

"..."

The corners of Huai Shi's mouth twitched.

I could almost feel the resentful gaze cast by Mikhail from far away in hell.

Why can you still cause such trouble in space? Little brother, is there something wrong with you?

Originally, Mikhail was prepared to be furious.

But no matter what... Helios is so delicious. Even if he does nothing, just returning with some divinity is enough to greatly speed up the progress of the Hell Fortress.

He could only hold his nose and accept the pot, and give Huai Shi a platform.

You have to say thank you so much...

Very angry!

So I haven't shown up at all until now. Anyway, I gave you the dignity. Whether you can eat meat or drink soup and how much you can catch depends on your own ability!

"That is to say..." Huai Shi felt vaguely in his heart.

"That's right."

Tong Ji nodded and clapped her hands with a look of relief, "Sister, I have successfully brought them to the same level as you. Now you can defeat them through your rich experience!"

These are good words, but I always feel like something is wrong.

The corners of Huai Shi's eyes twitched wildly, and she felt a subtle sense of humiliation.

Next, there is only one last question left...

"How?" Huai Shi asked.

Tongji thought for a while and laughed. "It's like...this!"

She raised her hand and snapped her fingers.

In an instant, in this 'dish-shaped world' filled with fog and grids, the earth suddenly rolled, dragons and snakes rose from the ground, and dozens of fortress-like towers rose from the ground.

Some towers are illusory and ethereal, like souls; some towers are ever-changing and changing all the time; some towers stand like stone monuments, some towers are as scarlet as blood, and some towers are covered with green vegetation. Totally environmentally friendly.

And finally, where Huai Shi is.

Under his feet was the incomplete 'Eternal Furnace Heart', a fortress that once dominated the entire Twilight Land.

In an instant, layers of iron light gathered together, and he had appeared on the throne of the one who had cast the sun, standing side by side with the Tower of Soul and the Tower of Change in the distance.

That's where Publius and Galland are!

Second only to the three of them is the bone tower where the gloomy-faced Hedi is, which seems to be made up of layers of bones; a four-sided spire full of ancient Egyptian style and covered with carvings of gods, which is the priestess Irma. ; There are also layers of halo surrounding the furnace tower shrouded in countless RGB light pollution, resembling a giant dragon spreading its wings, majestic and ferocious...

Huai Shi rubbed his eyes.

He rubbed his eyes again.

He rubbed his eyes again.

It wasn't until my eyeballs almost exploded that I was convinced that the one squatting on it was actually the puppy of Friendship!

Wagging his tongue, he looked around blankly.

Then he lowered his head and took a bite of the chair under his butt.

Above the entire Helios, all the survivors were sitting on taller or shorter towers, including members of the former exploration team... but there seemed to be one person missing among them. Huai Shi looked around carefully several times before finally making sure.

Izzy, Izzycoatl is missing!

It's like it never appeared.

Could it be that he is dead?

Soon, he was attracted by the shouting sound...

It's a skeleton.

The skeleton is also sitting on a tower, but that 'tower' is only half a meter high at best, not much stronger than a small horse. It has been squeezed to the edge of Helios by the layers of towers...

It was almost the auditorium.

He was simply excluded from the contestants...

Immediately afterwards, everyone felt a majestic flow of divinity - above the sky, the empty sun slowly rotated, showering down grace like rain.

In this light rain, a mighty bell burst out, and countless gridded plots began to move rapidly.

Each other, facing each other.

The fog rose again, covering everything except each other.

Huai Shi raised her head and looked at her opponent who was also puzzled. She seemed to have seen the old alchemist with a cold expression before, but she had no impression of him.

And He Di, looking at Huai Shi across from him, was already filled with jealousy.

Hatred boils over.

Immediately afterwards, the divine glow fell from the sky and turned into two rows of silhouettes, respectively appearing in front of both parties.

"What's this?"

Huai Shi looked around at the familiar scenes, feeling increasingly familiar.

"To put it simply, the secret ritual running on Helios now is a duel before gods inherited from the era of chaos. Even I cannot interfere or operate it again. It itself symbolizes absolute fairness. Divine judgment.

After unifying all the chaos, the strongest person will compete under order. "

Tong Ji explained dutifully: "As you can imagine, this is a cruel elimination match, and only the final winner can monopolize Helios.

And this secret ritual will create a controllable power projection for you based on the skills you are good at, your stigmata, and the special items on your body.

You can spend the Divinity Purchase given to you by Helios.

Divinity starts with ten points, and one point is automatically added at the beginning of each round. Then if you win, you will get one point. If you fail, it will not increase, and it will be attacked by all the opponent's projections on the field.

If all health points are lost, the game will end, Helios will be expelled, and all divinity will belong to the opponent..."

The more I listened to Huai Shi, the more I felt something was wrong.

At the last moment, I suddenly realized that I couldn't help but want to flip the table: "Isn't this the self-propelled card issued by the parent company of Wanshi Pai, "Chao Shi Zhi"!"

"Pretty much, they copied it anyway."

Tong Ji waved her hand calmly and pointed to the projection in front of him: "By the way, you don't have much time..."

Huai Shi was stunned and looked forward instantly.

Only the last ten seconds of the countdown are seen.

On the opposite side, He Di seemed to have figured out what was going on. He had already taken the lead in selecting five black figures from the projection. At this moment, he was raising his head and staring at him viciously.

Nine, eight, seven, six, five...

There is not much time left for him.
