Chapter 231 Destruction
488
In the dark mausoleum.
The eye-like group of Extraordinary Characteristics on the ground shone with faint light, and a faint red moonlight fell from the zenith, falling impartially on this Extraordinary Characteristics.
Not far away from the Black Stone Throne, several pieces of clothing that formed a human shape gradually swelled up, the cuffs were stretched out into a circle, and the collar gradually stood up. Soon, his hands stretched out from the cuffs, kicked off the troublesome boots, and a person "grown" out of the pile of clothes.
Thump, thump, a powerful heartbeat sounded. "Bernadette" sat up from the ground, combed her waist-length chestnut hair, checked her arms, legs and body, then briskly stepped over the intertwined vines on the ground with her bare feet, approaching the black throne. .
"dad."
"Bernadette" still maintains her due stability, but has also become a lot more lively. She stopped in front of the steps of the throne, looking up at the shadow sitting motionless on the throne with a little anticipation.
"My mother gave birth to me again. Will you tell me a bedtime story this time?"
The twisted laws suddenly rioted, distorting the distance between them, sending Bernadette thousands of meters away, but could not let this body without any extraordinary characteristics leave the mausoleum.
It won't take long for this child to come to the shadow again, using the same figure, the same appearance, and the same memory to coax him into obeying the fallen mother goddess and reuniting with his daughter.
…
The Sea of Mist, the seaside of a small island.
"The island where Russell is located is twisted to a very small size in the spiritual world. In order to find it, not only did Agaritu rummage through the ruins of the War of Gods, but I also toured the Sea of Mist after searching to no avail... If Bernard Dai also has a similar sealed object in her hand, or if Russell gave Emerald City some kind of protection during his lifetime, then I won’t gain anything by looking for it in the spirit world.”
"Emerald City... Emerald City... There is also an Emerald City in the teachings of the ancient Sun God, but Russell probably doesn't know about the Land Abandoned by God. It should be the same name, um... the Emerald City in The Wizard of Oz? "
"It's such a pity that the princess of Emerald City is no longer here."
These fairy tales are basically completely monopolized by Russell, and the ones that have been circulated cannot be used as the basis for "mysterious recurrence". It is not easy to translate Eastern myths and stories from the old era, and the world view will be very separated from the current world. Fortunately, "The Wizard of Oz" is a famous Western fairy tale, and Edward did not have to put much effort in recalling its contents. He laughed with some interest:
"You don't have to ride a wooden horse to get into the city, right?"
The "legacy" that Russell left to Bernadette is quite rich, and there must be at least a few level 0 items. Coupled with the monopoly of fairy tale magic, the collection of "Element Dawn" far exceeds that of ordinary secret organizations in terms of quantity and quality. , although it is not as deep as the organization that believes in the true Creator with a long history, and it may not be able to defeat the Spiritual Religion Group that was once the Church of Death, but it should at least be comparable to the Rose School.
However, there should be many extraordinary items that originally belonged to them, but were robbed to the Northern Continent and then passed to Bernadette's hands.
Although both "Argonauts" and "Open Sesame" are very interesting, demons who don't have any "Peeper" sealed items on hand cannot and do not intend to just follow the rules and find them.
"The Lord who created all,"
"The Master Behind the Curtain of Shadows,"
"The fallen nature of all living things."
Edward immediately recited the honorable name of the true Creator, feeling that the surrounding environment quickly darkened, and a spiritual force that did not belong to him fell on him. The True Creator responded very quickly. Immediately afterwards, the back of His hand was affected by this spiritual power. His flesh and blood squirmed, and he opened a red eye and a toothless mouth.
The eyelidless eyes looked at Edward, and his mouth opened and closed and said, "What's the matter?"
"Allies, use a 'door' to access the sealed artifact."
The red eyes looked at Edward for a while, and then he suddenly said: "Sia's schizophrenia occurred. That night, the southern continent was suspected of being contaminated by external gods. All the major churches had a stress response."
"Oh, is this such a good thing?" Edward looked down at the back of his hand, "But it's normal for him who manages the Indulgence Faction to be mentally disturbed. Maybe Sia will die like this, which is a good thing for everyone."
The two looked at each other for a few seconds.
"I am very interested in the scenery on the sea. In May, I will go to the sea to complete my promotion." The True Creator said slowly, "You should know better than me about the affairs of the Spiritual Religion. The 'Pale Queen' is preparing to declare war. South The mainland will become world-famous."
"If you want to inquire about the armaments of the Spiritual Religion, you have asked the wrong person." Edward said, "I have not been in the Southern Continent during this time."
The True Creator spoke the next words quickly:
"The transmission of sealed objects through the gate path is of very limited help to you. Is there any place that cannot be reached in the spirit world?"
"It's just a stronghold of a secret organization."
Edward replied disapprovingly: "You know one of the Four Kings and Seven Generals of the Pirates, the 'Element Dawn' of the 'Mysterious Queen', right?"
"Oh." The True Creator recalled it for a moment. He also didn't take the demise of a secret organization too seriously. "If there are five sealed artifacts in the treasure house, I will buy them all. The price can be negotiated later."
"No problem." Edward immediately put on a sincere expression, saying that helping his teammates was helping him. Although in the eyes of the true creator, he showed his true nature as a demon profiteer, "Do you need me to give you a discount for the sake of the sealed artifact? ?”
The True Creator pondered for two seconds and said: "Not yet, help me confirm whether the stronghold of the organization 'Elemental Dawn' is concealed enough. If it is, tell me its coordinates as a reward."
"Deal." Edward agreed readily.
Soon, the spiritual fluctuations of both parties rolled up into a whirlpool, forming a simple sacrificial passage, and a sealed object shining with starlight appeared in Edward's hand.
It is a square wooden frame, like a door frame or a painting frame, but it is just a wooden frame, not framed with anything.
Edward stood the wooden frame on the ground and dug it into the sand to stabilize it. The wooden frame became a simple doorway. It was useless to stretch his hands and feet alone. It seemed that the whole body had to go through together to teleport.
"Door path seals are always conceptually related to doors and windows..."
Edward silently recited the coordinates of the island called Rasha in his mind, and stepped into the wooden frame, but he only walked over and walked from one side to the other, and the transmission was not successful.
Is it going to be hung on the wall? The devil frowned, walked around the wooden frame, thought for a while, and placed the wooden frame flat on the ground.
Still looking unchanged, Edward squatted down and put a hand into the wooden frame. His hand did not touch the sand.
"Does it have to be placed flat on the ground?" This method of use is a bit strange.
Thinking of Rasha's coordinates, Edward jumped directly and felt like he had arrived at another place smoothly.
However, just when His body passed through the wooden frame and the edge of the wooden frame was at the same height as his neck, the wooden frame suddenly shrank and got stuck directly on His neck!
"..."
Edward, who almost broke his neck, praised: "Not bad."
This wooden frame seems to be trying to separate the head and body of the person who passes through it. This is equivalent to hanging for ordinary people, and it can also catch the Sequence Extraordinary by surprise. Edward grasped both sides of the wooden frame from below with his hands, used a little force to separate it, and successfully escaped from the shackles of the wooden frame before falling onto the deserted island cliff.
"This sealed object resists the user. It has a lot of resentment. You can tell at a glance that it must be produced by the Abraham family...I don't know if it is just a trick on anyone or it is random." Edward grabbed the wooden frame and looked at it for a moment. The shrunken wooden frame It gradually grew bigger and returned to its original size.
He stuffed the wooden frame into the spiritual world and began to look around the island.
According to the route in the previous divination, Edward took a moment to circle along the coast, and finally jumped off the cliff, stepping on the black rocks that were constantly being beaten by the tide.
He looked at the empty cliff in front of him and slowly recited a mantra in Giant language:
"Sesame, open the door!"
A road suddenly appeared on the rock wall of the mountain cliff, which seemed real and illusory, extending all the way into the distance. I don't know where it leads.
Edward observed for two seconds and then walked in directly.
He had just walked a few meters in, and this illusory road gradually became darker, and the edges of the road and the boundaries of darkness began to become unclear. Although the spell to open the door was right, the road itself seemed to have the ability to identify visitors.
"Is this also a mystery in a certain story?"
There is no doubt that no matter what happens, it will not affect Edward, who is a Sequence One angel, but with Bernadette's caution, it is not impossible to set up some high-level mysterious or level 0 sealed objects on the road to one of her bases. , maybe it can indeed cause some minor trouble.
Therefore, Edward didn't intend to give the road a chance to blend completely into the darkness. He raised his hand and waved towards the darkness in front of him.
As if dust was being wiped off the blurry windows, the approaching darkness was forcefully erased, and the things hidden in the darkness around him also made subtle sounds. Edward felt something fall at his feet. He raised his head and looked up, with a flash of fire in his eyes.
Boom!
With a loud noise, a mountain peak on the island Rasha suddenly exploded. Countless huge rocks were blown high into the sky and fell into the surrounding settlements and open spaces. A mountain peak more than 100 meters high has turned into an active volcano. Dark magma burned by blue flames surges in the hollowed-out mountain. Lava continuously erupts from the empty mountain top, and thick volcanic ash is like clouds. It quickly obscured the small patch of sky above.
Amidst the smoke and ashes, Edward stepped onto the crater, and lava with thousands of degrees of temperature flowed past his feet.
The moment the explosion started, the extraordinary people on the island immediately believed that there was an invasion from outsiders. The light of mysterious magic lit up one after another, and everything on the island quickly began to disappear, revealing the blue sea.
"The Emperor's New Clothes?" This one is the most well-known of the mysterious magic related to covering and hiding. In order to ensure the effect of the mysterious magic, not many people in "Elemental Dawn" will know the details of this story. This should be the protection of one or two strong people.
Much obvious hostility was quickly directed towards, with inquiry and anger, one of the demigods. These magics could not block the angel's vision. He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. There were small towns scattered under his feet. There were many mysterious magics similar to "Open Sesame" on the mountains shrouded in mist, and there were many people walking around inside. . And among the stacked mountain peaks in the distance, a corner of lake water as clear as sapphire was revealed, and something bright was shining dazzlingly in the sun.
Edward's eyes swept across the town below.
It was as if the door to hell suddenly opened, and the sky of the island was suddenly shrouded in blood that was so rich that it could not be turned away. Everyone's vision was covered with a layer of terrifying red. Before the members of "Elemental Dawn" had time to react, people in the town suddenly rushed out from any corner like crazy, attacking each other with farm tools, tableware and anything they could find, and stabbing each other with blunt table knives used to cut beef. At the temple, the sharp ax cut into the gap between the ribs. In an instant, a layer of corpses still with human body temperature lay on the street.
Regardless of men, women, or children, where blood flows, more horrific fighting will break out. The people who were still alive continued to kill each other over the corpses until they were the last ones left.
As the last survivor dug out his own throat with his fingers, the small island town of tens of thousands of people was instantly annihilated in the eyes of the devil.
Blue flames rose from the peaks of the island, engulfing the peaceful Rasha in the blink of an eye. The volcano rose from the ground, and the pungent smell of sulfur suddenly became more than a hundred times stronger. Magma and volcanic ash spurted out like gray-white waves. He threw himself down the mountain, swallowing up the traces of evil, leaving behind countless weird and terrifying human shells. The isolated island became the scene of a natural disaster, and everything was buried under hot ashes.
Mysterious Reappearance·Physics·The Ancient City of Pompeii.
Edward jumped down and stepped on the still steaming volcanic ash. More than ten meters below was the remains of the small town just now.
His steps were extremely fast, and he passed through this gray hell and through the stacked mountain peaks in just two steps. It suddenly opened up before my eyes, and the sapphire-like sea and the palace made entirely of emerald were already close at hand.
A huge stone statue with a sphinx is lying beside the door, its face covered with a gold mask, blue paint and black eyeliner creating a unique style that is incompatible with any civilization in the world today.
The Sphinx looked solemnly at Edward who was approaching, and said in a deep voice:
"You must answer my riddle..."
Edward replied: "The answer is humans."
The Sphinx Golem was stunned for a moment, and then was punched by Edward. In the blink of an eye, it was engulfed in flames. The golden mask and stones quickly melted and burned into a pile of spiritual black material.
"Why do you even have this thing?" Edward complained to himself, "Put an Egyptian Sphinx outside the European Emerald City to guard the door? Did you consider the Sphinx while using mythological magic? Do you feel it?”
Edward walked into the Emerald City and admired for a while this huge castle that was completely constructed and stabilized by fairy tale magic. After walking around inside and killing all living things, he came to a castle protected by layers of mysterious magic. Behind the humble wicket.
In the spiritual vision, this door showed countless dark and complex black lines, and many different spiritual brilliance flickered and wandered around, creating the appearance of a seal. Edward knocked politely, but no one answered the first two times. On the third knock, Edward made the door disappear.
What comes into view is a sealing room that is as big as a football field. Many extraordinary items are placed in categories and are suppressed and sealed using different methods. A spiritual creature wrapped in white cloth, whose upper body was a human and whose lower body was wind, was wandering here. It saw Edward intruding, but it did not stop him immediately. Instead, it retreated slightly with caution and hid in the sealed object. behind.
"A spiritual creature that is extremely resistant to negative influences and also has the ability to seal?"
"The corresponding path is a prisoner. He seems to have a very high level of intelligence. He can actually find such a useful spiritual creature..."
Eduardo glanced at the spirit world creature for a few times, his eyes lingering on the cloth wrapped around its body for a long time, and then walked over leisurely. The spirit world creature kept retreating, and was finally forced into a corner.
"The highest level of sealed artifacts here is demigod level."
He looked at the creatures in the spirit world and said with a smile: "Those real level 0 sealed objects should be kept by you for Bernadette, right?"
The mummy-like spirit world creature tried to escape to the spirit world, but the space around it was shrouded in a hazy layer of blood. The prototype of the abyss of the Kingdom of God enveloped the entire island, and all creatures on the island had nowhere to escape.
Edward stared at the spiritual creature. The nail of his thumb scratched the pad of his index finger, and a drop of blood floated up. He no longer waited for the response from the spirit world creature, turned his palm, and the drop of blood fell directly into the head of the spirit world creature that was unwilling to cooperate.
The body of the spirit world creature suddenly twisted violently, and blood quickly spread on the white cloth strips, and then turned into dark blood stains that seemed to have accumulated for countless years. The upper body of the humanoid wrapped in white cloth twitched and twisted crazily. There were countless sharp protrusions under the cloth strips that pierced the white surface. In just a few breaths, the spiritual creature had turned into a hazy red-black mist. The ferocious figure in the middle had blood-stained strips of cloth and black bone spurs all over its body, exuding a completely different aura of terror from before.
The spirit world creature that became vicious in the blink of an eye kneeled respectfully toward Edward, and took out an ornament from the cloth strip on its body. In the center of the ornament, there is a vertical eye inlaid with gemstones, which shines brightly and gives people a feeling of wisdom, brightness, and indifference.
"Corresponding to the sage?" Edward took the piece of forehead jewelry and praised Russell. He really doted on Bernadette so much. In contrast, his own child was a gift from the Sauron family through marriage.
He put the sage's forehead ornament aside, and the spirit world creature took out another sealed object from the body, a pale, indifferent mask like a god.
"Pale death..." Edward knew this thing.
Because this human face is the face of the last emperor of Balam.
Finally, the spirit creature stood up and led Edward to the corner of the wall. It used some means to push open a door that didn't exist before. Half of the wall suddenly disappeared, revealing a dark room behind it.
On the only stone platform in the darkroom, there was a strange lamp made of pure gold with countless complex mysterious symbols painted on its surface.

Going to the countryside today.
The postponement announcement made me feel lonely, I am so strong.
I looked at the number of words last month and found that the average was 170,000 words per month. I feel like it will be finished in another four months.
