Chapter 1141 The End of the Past
"This is the core wonder of the Warm Winter Palace, the first of the four palaces of the Deep Blue Hell - "Warm Winter." "
In the dark deep sea thousands of meters below, a gentle snow is falling. The snowflakes were very beautiful six-pointed stars, slowly falling to the ground and melting. Ash looked at it and felt an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.
He stretched out his fingers and touched a snowflake. Even though he was prepared, he still stayed there for a few seconds in a daze. He didn't come back to consciousness until Death Man blew a smoke ring at him.
"The Guardian of Refraction didn't respond?" Ash subconsciously took a step back and away from the gentle snow scene in front of him, "But I have obviously covered my fingers with the Holy Realm——"
"But you have already touched the warm winter."
Death Kuang clasped his hands on his chest and said leisurely: "Snowflakes are just a cover-up, and the 'soul' is the medium to warm the winter. When you realize that you are in a warm winter, you will naturally feel the warm winter. This is a wonder that uses water magic to interpret the soul, and it is also the reason why the Winter Palace has stood firm in the Deep Blue Hell for thousands of years. "
Ash covered his forehead: "Although I was still conscious in those five seconds just now,...how should I put it, my whole body felt very warm, but also very empty and nothingness. It felt like no matter what happened, it didn't matter..."
"That's the feeling of peace of mind."
Death Maniac said: "Being in a snowy scene that symbolizes coldness, your body is surrounded by warmth, and you are carefree and fearless... Just like curling up under the quilt on a snowy day, the warm and secure feeling will consume all your will to resist, and you just want to continue sleeping. . When we snatched the resources of Nuan Dong Palace, the black demon escaped the fastest and fell into Nuan Dong. He fell into a deep sleep and was captured by the demigods of Nuan Winter Palace. "
"The only way to break through the warm winter is to escape before contact. Otherwise, once you fall into the warm winter, even the God Lord will not be able to compete -"
"Wait!" Ashus interrupted: "The Black Demon was captured by the Winter Palace, and then what?"
"Why do you care about this? Just continue searching."
"You suddenly broke such a shocking news, it's hard for me not to care! Did you go to rescue her later?"
The Death Maniac glanced at him angrily and said: "Actually, we don't want to save. We need to make careful arrangements to seize the resources of Warm Winter Palace. If we save the Black Demon, no matter what we do, it will inevitably lead to a head-on conflict - Number of people in Warm Winter Palace Not many, but the weakest are all three-level Hell Wings, and we are only two-level Hell Wings, and each of us only has one or two Wonders, so we can’t defeat them at all.”
"And the Black Devil already had ten sisters at that time. She never communicated with us and was always immersed in her own spiritual world. Although there was no friendship at all between us, since she didn't want to get close to us, we naturally I won’t stick to my face.”
Ash said: "In the end, it was the viewers who convinced you?"
"Persuasion? Ha." Death Man sneered: "He directly spread the news that Nuan Dong Palace captured the Black Demon throughout the Deep Blue Hell. You must know that the Black Demon also has the Supreme Holy Grail. Other forces got the news and swarmed over, and then he took us I took the opportunity to loot the treasure house of Winter Palace again."
Ash was dumbfounded: "What about the dark devil?"
Death Maniac said calmly: "Even if we don't save her, she will be fine. Although Nuan Winter Palace desires the Supreme Holy Grail, no one at that time knew how to seize other people's Supreme Holy Grail... Do you see the pedestal there? "
Ash turned around and saw that there were several platinum pedestals standing around the square. They seemed to be where statues were displayed, but now they were empty.
"The two most famous wonders of Warm Winter Palace are [Warm Winter" and "Winter Soldier". The former can make demigods lose their power to resist, while the latter can completely brainwash demigods and transform them into war machines that defend Warm Winter Palace. "Death Maniac said: "This is not the first time that Winter Palace has created Winter Soldiers. They must be preparing to transform the Black Demon into Winter Soldiers. Whether they are used as thugs or commodities, they are an excellent choice."
"But the siege of all forces in the Deep Blue Hell meant that they had no time to transform the black devil. The viewer took us through the looting and hid one of the treasures in the demigod members of other forces, and then actively triggered the trap left in the treasure house. , the alarm was set off, and all the dormant Winter Soldiers in Nuan Winter Palace instantly woke up and actively attacked the demigod members who were hiding the treasures. Other forces thought that Nuan Winter Palace had a disagreement and started an armed conflict, and the confrontation immediately escalated into a full-scale war. "
Ash
Asked: "Then you sneaked in and rescued the black devil?"
"No." Death Kuang still shook his head: "The scene was very chaotic at that time. We didn't dare to enter the Warm Winter Palace, and the spectators didn't take us in, but returned to the temporary stronghold to wait. I remember that the Mirror Demon made a meal, which was lobster When the chowder is ready, the dark devil will return."
"She ate with us, and when we distributed the spoils, she felt she didn't participate. We didn't ask her how she got out of that situation, and she didn't thank us."
"Are you disappointed?" Death Man sneered, "We are not a united and friendly criminal gang."
Ash thought for a while and shook his head: "No, although I'm a little surprised, it makes sense when I think about it. I even think it's a little handsome."
It’s not about helping each other, but it’s also not about completely ignoring each other, but “giving the people in trouble a chance to struggle while taking into account the interests of the vast majority of people.” The characters of the members of the Final Five, the way they form the team, and the conflicts of interest all determine that they cannot unconditionally help their companions. If they don't add insult to injury, it would be considered a act of kindness. Everyone is the first person responsible for their own lives.
It is impossible for the viewer to persuade them to save the black devil, and he did not persuade them. Instead, he used this opportunity to cause a melee and led everyone to seize the opportunity to plunder resources. If the black demons failed to seize the opportunity to escape from the melee, they would never stay and would just die.
They gather together to reduce the pressure of survival, and will never increase their burden for others. They are like a group of lone wolves who have to stay together to stay warm in order to survive the blizzard. If anyone freezes to death, they will be abandoned. But when you fall down, they still have the strength to give you a slap to wake you up.
Ya Xiu finally brought "Warm Winter" into the Soul Heaven. Death Kuang looked on and suddenly said: "Later, we fought back to Warm Winter Palace and saw that the defeat was determined. The owner of Warm Winter Palace would rather destroy the wonder than leave it to us. This It was a regret that the Black Devil often complained about - for this reason, she tortured the Lord of Winter Palace for three days and three nights, and the whole Deep Blue Hell heard the guy's wail."
"The Dark Lord wants this spectacle?"
"I don't know." Death Ku shook off the cigarette ashes, "It's just that she really cares about it. After all, this is the only spectacle that cannot be copied."
"Huh? Why can't it be copied?"
"Wonder changes." Death Kuang spit out a new term: "Whenever the magic develops to a certain level, the virtual realm will begin to breed new secret realms. If there happens to be any public wonders that are very compatible with the new secret realm at this time, the wonders will It will automatically transform into the secret realm.”
"Ascension is a long process, too long even for demigods... But before the end of the ascension, wonders can also gain incredible powers. For example, "Warm Winter" was originally just an ordinary water magic wonder, but now it can be used It unleashes psychic power that even the God Lord cannot resist. However, once a wonder collapses, even if it is rebuilt, it is impossible to trigger an upgrade, so this type of wonder in the upgrade stage is called the only wonder. "
"By the way, when you put "Warm Winter" into the Soul Heaven, its ascension will cease. It can no longer be ascended into the secret realm, but it can retain the power of the only wonder. "Death Maniac Youyou said: "The key requirement for a wonder to trigger an upgrade is that it must be an ownerless wonder placed in the public world."
Ya Xiu opened his mouth and said depressedly: "Why do I feel like I am a wasteful person..."
"If you say feelings, then yes. But if you say "warm winter," then no. "Death Maniac shook his head: "Even if "Warm Winter" becomes a secret realm after thousands of years, what does it have to do with you? Will it snow on your graves? "
"Give the "warm winter" to the witch. "Yashu said: "There must be a reason why the dark devil cares so much."
"up to you."
Ash entered the palace and did not see the knowledge gem that the demigod dropped after his death. The palace was elegant and luxurious, but no cultivation resources were left.
"Except for the Biting Wolf Palace at the beginning, all the subsequent palaces seemed to have been evacuated in time." Ashi said, "If we don't know where they evacuated, we may not be able to gain anything other than spectacles."
"It must be in Guiming Palace." Death Maniac concluded: "Guigong is a force in the Deep Blue Hell that is famous for its defensive wonders. Before we went to the third hell, we planned to loot all the forces in the Deep Blue Hell. We were stunned.
The law shook Guiming Palace, and later we learned that their miracle "Guihai Current" connected the sea and the barrier. Unless every drop of water in the entire sea was evaporated, it would be impossible to break through the barrier. "
Ash: "Then let's——"
"The route I have planned for you is to collect wonders while arriving at Guiming Palace. Let's go." Death Maniac stepped lightly, like a mermaid swimming in the deep sea, "The next stop is the Alchemy Bear Palace."
Ash spread out his virtual wings and flew in front of her, looked at her upside down, and asked, "You must have encountered many dangers in hell, right?"
"I don't remember when my relationship with you was good enough for small talk," Death Man said coldly: "Either stretch out your hand, or don't stand in front of me."
"I'm very curious." Ya Xiu walked side by side with her and smiled: "Could it be that you were once in trouble and were saved by the viewers?"
As expected, the death maniac couldn't help but open up the topic: "Am I in trouble? If I hadn't brought them to the scene in time, the viewers would have died in hell eight hundred years ago!"
Ash thought to himself that this person was pretty easy to talk to, and asked, "Don't you all hate viewers? Why would you go to save him?"
Death Kuang glanced at him and didn't speak for a long time. Ash thought she wouldn't answer. When she arrived at the Alchemy Bear Palace, she slowly said, "Our first teamwork was in Angel Hunting."
"At that time, we were trapped in the ruins, but we had no desire to cooperate at all. We even wanted to fight on the spot until only one of us was left: the Black Demon and the Mirror Demon had a deep hatred. I also hated the way the viewers behaved, the You Demon. He was not trusted by anyone. In order to win our trust, the viewer cut open his chest, took out his heart, and threw it to the ground."
"He said that within ten seconds any one of you can crush it. If I am still alive in ten seconds, you stop and listen to me."
"Every time we think about it, none of us regret it," Death Man said with a pity on his face, "What a precious opportunity just passed by like this... As long as we lift our foot and step on it, everything will be over."
"But ten seconds passed quickly. I suspect it was only five seconds. Anyway, he survived and we gave him a chance."
"He said he could bring us greater benefits."
As Death Maniac described it, Ash seemed to be able to see that scene - five people hiding in the shadows gathered together in a dark ruin that could collapse at any time. The young man in the trench coat put his heart back into his chest, sat down cross-legged, pointed his finger on the ground, and said, "I can bring you greater benefits."
The girl with messy hair covered her head and asked, "But isn't the point now how to survive? We are going to die. Everyone here will die! Hahaha, you are finally going to die!"
"I can't guarantee that you will survive," the young man in the trench coat said, "but if you can seize the opportunity, you can survive on your own strength."
The elf in gloomy clothes asked: "Why should I trust you?"
"I don't need you to believe me, but I hope you will watch my actions." The young man in the windbreaker said, "I will create opportunities for you."
The red-haired girl sneered: "Are you so kind?"
"If I don't let you survive, then I won't survive either." The young man in the windbreaker shook his head: "It has nothing to do with morality, good or evil. I still have aspirations, and I must live."
The Mirror Demon had mixed emotions and asked softly: "Can we continue to be side by side?"
"Until death."
Ash came back to his senses and asked, "Did the observer do it?"
Death Kuang took a breath, raised his head and exhaled the smoke: "Why do you think we can unite to save him?"
