Chapter 1009 Hell Falls
As for the ownership rights of Ash, Ash himself does not have any voting rights, just like the spoils of war cannot determine who can get him, nor can Lala Fat determine who is qualified to taste himself. Although he also wanted to shout, "Don't fight for me, everyone," he was afraid that the harshness in his words would cause everyone to settle accounts.
Unexpectedly, as Ash watched the battle in fear, the situation gradually moved towards the scene he was most looking forward to, and everyone still took a quarter.
The reason is also very simple: Sword Girl and the others cannot defeat Vichy.
On the battlefield of soul consciousness, Vichy's advantage is simply beyond what little girls like them can contend with, so they can only work together to drive Vichy to a quarter. But if they try to continue to encroach on Vichy's basic share, Vichy will Nozomi will target the weakest one among them and beat them wildly.
In order to prevent themselves from becoming the little sister with the lowest share, they could only allow Vichy to hold a quarter, and then the situation became deadlocked - if they continued the civil war, they might give Vichy an opportunity, and This is almost the most unacceptable ending for them.
Although it is said that no matter who has a larger share, others cannot accept it, but if we have to rank them, from best to worst, it should be Witch > Silver Lantern > Sword Queen > Maid.
The witch is the best to deal with. If you take over too much, you can slowly get it back. Moreover, she is the operator who is most willing to accept sharing with Ash, so she is not afraid of her monopolization at all. The second is Silver Lantern. Although she probably has a strong desire to monopolize it, because With a sense of guilt, she will not prevent Ash from having more happiness; let alone Sword Princess, if she grabs the lion's share, the others will be kicked out.
But the three of them at least treat Ash as a treasure and a pet, and if Ash falls into Vichy's hands, he will really be treated like a lesbian.
In a sense, Vichy's role as a "traitor" forced Sonia and her group of "rebels" to turn into "loyal subjects".
If everyone turned against the thief, then Yaxiu would be the target of one of them today.
Although it is not a true four-wing balance, Ash also feels the fear of the magician when he is promoted to a demigod. The more the magician gains from the virtual realm, the more the virtual realm occupies the magician. The giving is mutual and the demand is equal. The magician owes the virtual realm no more than he can repay, and the magician may even have to pay back more in the future. To gain more favor from the virtual realm, one can only check and balance the wills of the four parties in order to maintain one's own free will in the cracks, otherwise one can only become the property of one of them.
It was indeed a demigod promotion ceremony, every step was full of philosophy of life, and Ya Xiu felt that he had learned a lot from the virtual realm.
But that's just an aside, because the real challenge begins now.
The evil wind screamed, and the air was rubbed into furious black flames. The second level of hell fell heavily with an almost judgmental attitude, bringing with it majestic wind and thunder. The first level of hell made an almost whining sound, and the unimaginable power swept the five of them. The human soul once again disintegrated into the tiniest particles, and all thoughts were shattered into an almost void stream of information.
Ash has not lost his will, but he can no longer think and can only observe everything in the world blankly. He is integrated with the world and cannot get out. The memories and emotions of the past are like the honey that God has spread on his lips. They are just an insignificant taste of the moment and are not worth mentioning compared with the eternity.
He wants to blend into this world, blend new colors, and formulate new laws for all things.
But just as he embarked on the irreversible path to becoming a god, the sweetness and bitterness of every piece of soul faded away bit by bit, and his consciousness glowed with energy. He is no longer attracted by the colors, but condensed by the colors.
Ash condensed his soul body again. The purple sword wings carried the first level of hell, and the pink gold time wings carried the second level of hell. Compared with last time, his soul body was more solidified, and various mountains and rivers began to appear in the soul heaven inside. The turbid air was sinking and the clean air was rising!
"Sword Lady, Witch, Visser, Vichy!"
"I'm fine." Sonia's voice was a little weak.
"Me too..." Diya replied tremblingly.
"No problem." Visser said.
"Something's wrong!" Vichy's impatient voice came along the virtual wing: "Each level of hell should temper the soul to the same extent, but now the second level's effect is so many times stronger than the first level... Either this is This is a mechanism that only happens when many people are promoted, or the virtual realm is targeting us!”
"Is the virtual realm targeting us?"
"Don't think that the virtual realm can really be fooled. We wanted to help you advance, but the virtual realm directly brought five levels of hell to everyone. Now you help us complete the four-wing adjustment almost skillfully. How could the virtual realm let us do it so easily? Just become a demigod?"
"The god lord steals the world's secret realm, and is haunted by divine punishment day and night; the demigod steals the knowledge of hell, and his life hangs under the challenge; the magician gathers four-color virtual wings, needs to cross thousands of miles of sea, walk thousands of miles, pass through thousands of layers of dreams, and fight against the Ruby Mountain!" Vichy's voice was solemn, as if he was reading a law code: "What you want to get, you have to pay for it. This is the only law of the virtual world!"
"If we don't pay any price, then we ourselves are the price. But Ash, you can rest assured, because..."
"We are your price."
The space cracked like a spider web, and Ruby Mountain collapsed into countless fragments at this moment. Ash and the others could not sense the fall of the third hell at all, because it ignored the trivial obstacles of time, space, and entropy, just like the unobstructed Malice descended directly on their timeline.
This time, Ya Xiu lost consciousness for a longer period of time. It was not until the emotional memories in the Soul Heaven slowly recovered that he broke free from the Realm of God. He had no time to pay attention to the hell behind him, his consciousness sank into his heart, and he looked for other people through the virtual wing connection!
Above the sea of mind, he saw four dream-like realms of wonders: the wilderness of Sword Tomb burning with purple-red flames, the palace standing on the sea of flowing gold, the ruins of the old city with bright silver lights, and the blue roses blooming in the ruins of the old city. Flower field.
Ash's heart fell into the abyss, all the sounds left him, and the colors in front of his eyes turned to gray. The thoughts that pulled him back from the realm of God were like hot irons stamped on the softest part of his soul - —They didn’t come back from the Realm of God!
As long as you get something, you have to pay the price, maybe your life, maybe everything they have. If someone can get something for nothing, who will believe in justice in the world?
Ash no longer actively absorbs colors and blends into the world in a daze, letting hell judge his sins. But the color still actively poured into his soul. He felt his hands being gently held up, and the splendid fireworks bloomed in his heart. The dazzling light was like silk threads within reach.
You are my touch, and my thoughts are your power.
Ash grabbed these threads and thought about their past, present and future. This time it was not that they invaded Ya Xiu's consciousness, but Ya Xiu took the initiative to become a destination where they could stay. Only in this way could he use his thoughts to bring them back from the realm of God!
As Ash pulled, the blazing purple-red flames condensed Sonia's figure, the palace throne in the sea of pink gold showed the outline of Diya, the shadow of Weisel appeared in the deserted ruins of the old city, and the petals of the blue rose appeared. Converging into the figures of Vichy.
They opened their eyes blankly, and slowly escaped the influence of the realm of God.
"You can actually bring us back...?" Wei Xi murmured: "I thought I was going to become a god."
"But this is only the third level of hell. How many times can you save us, Ash?"
"Countless times!" Ash said decisively: "I am the touch of the fifth pillar of God, holding the scepter of longing. I will not let you get lost in the realm of God!"
Wei Xi was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Although I don't know how you do it, but if your power cannot take care of everyone, then try your best to save one person, maybe..."
She didn't say anything further, but everyone understood what she meant. Sword Lady, Witch, and Silver Lantern were all silent, and even Wei Xi didn't say anything about fear of death. Ash didn't make any promises, but the hot soul stung by his branding iron warmed the timidity in their hearts every second.
The craziest magician will never give up his virtual wings, and the most desperate monster will cherish his soul, so he will never let go!
In the suffocating silence, the fourth level of hell fell silently, as gently as a withered yellow leaf. They did not feel any weight, but they still disintegrated, because what came was a darkness that drowned knowledge, erasing all traces of its origins, the words describing it were all twisted, the pages that mentioned it were shrunk, and the story that told it must end.
This time Ash spent more and more time to regain his thoughts. He almost immediately fell into the sea of mind and pulled the thread of missing, but no matter how hard he tried and how much memory he spent, he still couldn't bring them back from the realm of God. Hell disintegrated their consciousness to such a low level that even thoughts could not touch them.
It was like he was in the middle of a dark world, unable to get his things back from the darkness no matter how much he stretched out his hands.
But at this moment, he heard the crisp sound of metal collision.
Ash dug out of his pocket and took out two rusty silver coins.
"The Death Mad Sword Lady's Silver Coin."
He grabbed the silver coin tightly until it melted into two threads. He pulled desperately toward the void, pulling Sonia back to him from the realm of God again!
Ash continued to dig into his pocket, and when he came across something sharp, he took it out and found a pile of broken lenses.
"The Black and White Witch's Magic Mirror Fragments".
He grabbed the fragment of the magic mirror, obviously in the sea of consciousness, but his hand was still bleeding, and the blood flowed along the thread of longing, turning into a surging river of blood, like the red carpet the queen walked on, pulling Diya from the realm of God Take it back!
"The portable mirror of the eternal night silver lamp".
Ash's hand passed through the mirror, directly grabbed Weise's hand, and snatched her back from the God's Realm!
Finally... Ash looked at the field of orchids and roses, touched his pocket, and realized that he didn't have Vichy's bondage at all.
Yes, how could a demigod like Ghost Prophet, who has lived for thousands of years, have a spiritual weakness? How could you place your heart on something dead? She is a monster with no regrets. Her memories and feelings are just stepping stones on her road to life. She is willing to die as long as she can get close to her ideal. Living a life without hope is her most shameful depravity.
She only lives for herself. Ash can control her soul, but he can never get her heart. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why Ash and her couldn't improve their bond: they were unwilling to exchange each other's lives.
Ash had no choice but to fight hard, but with all his strength, Vichy squeezed out of the God's Realm bit by bit. It wasn't his thoughts that pulled him away, it was more that Vichy grabbed his thread and tried his best to escape, like a demon grabbing the thread to escape from hell!
Ash could even feel her intermittent chaotic thoughts from the threads:
"I……"
"must……"
"Ascend to the High Throne!"
No one knew how she could retain her own thoughts in the unconscious state of the God Realm, and even be able to respond to Ash's thoughts. Ash never thought that he would admire the ghost prophet, but at this moment, he was happy that Vichy escaped from the realm of God, admired her unimaginable will, and was even more afraid of her desire that even hell could not crush.
If I die, I must take her with me to hell.
After half a year of living and dying together, Ya Xiu's idea has not weakened, but has become stronger. He is Vichy's comrade-in-arms, Vichy's prisoner, and will be Vichy's ending.
But now, he welcomes Vichy's return with joy.
"Have you forgotten that your thoughts will be conveyed to me?" Vichy's laughter sounded quietly: "But I don't hate your thoughts filled with murderous intent."
"Because I do too."
"We will definitely pass the trial of hell!" Diya encouraged: "We have already endured four levels of hell, which means there are still two levels left...but my virtual wings are all used up!"
"Only the fifth hell will fall, and there will be no sixth hell." Wei Xi said: "The fifth hell can be carried by souls or gods. Originally, my soul was enough to carry the fifth hell, but now... it should be Only Ash can bear the fifth level of hell."
"Although I have five virtual wings." Weisel said: "But based on who I am now, I'm afraid... Even if my self-awareness disappears, the Silver Lamp God will still respect you as the master. Ash, don't forget her. In Dark Senluo——"
"Then summon the gods!"
Asher said seriously: "Extend your virtual wings as much as possible, absorb as much knowledge of the virtual world as possible and summon the gods. I will protect your sense of freedom and will not let you get lost in the torrent of knowledge."
“Trust me,” he said, “and trust yourself.”
Everyone remained silent, but the purple flames in the Sword Tomb Plain began to boil, the sea of flowing gold set off a tsunami, the old city of Silver Lantern began to collapse, and the blue rose fields blew up waves of flowers. A magician must believe in miracles. Since there is nothing behind him, he can stride forward without any scruples, even if there is an abyss in front of him!
"Ash." Sonia said softly, "I have no regrets."
When the fifth level of hell fell, the four people's virtual wings were extended to the limit, and endless knowledge was poured into Ash's heart along the virtual wings. Their total share in Ash's soul reached absolute 100%. Even the gap between Xiu's will and his body no longer existed, completely submerged in their thoughts.
