Chapter 478 I Had a Dream

755

"It's better not to keep it dark here."

Klein nodded and acknowledged the chief's words, then raised his left hand and snapped his fingers. Suddenly, the torches and candlesticks on the wall that had been extinguished for thousands of years lit up one after another. They were thirty meters high from the ground, illuminating the dark and deep hall.

But firelight and candlelight cannot illuminate everything. The tops of each pillar cannot be seen, and the giant pillars that five or six people cannot hug are partially exposed, partially outlined, and partially hidden in the true darkness deep in the depths.

Medici raised his head, glanced over the carvings and murals of the palace that once belonged to the Creator, and sneered softly.

"There is still oil." Klein was also a little surprised. "That's really overly considerate. Could it be that it was just added?"

He joked casually, not expecting anyone to answer. He himself also knew that the most likely thing was not that God had just sent his shadow to add oil here, but that the "divine power of the harvest" that still remained here kept the lamp oil from drying up.

After completing this little magic trick, Klein withdrew his gaze and prepared to move forward with Medici and the chief.

At this moment, he failed to see another familiar figure from the corner of his eye.

Klein's brows frowned suddenly, and then Colin Iliad, who noticed something was wrong with his gaze, quickly turned his head to look for Elder Lovia who was standing next to him just now.

The demigod who believed in the "True Creator" was missing! Disappeared without a sound!

They turned their attention to that place at the same time and found that Lovia, who was wearing a purple-striped black robe, disappeared without any movement, as if she had evaporated out of thin air.

"Did she be taken away by the shadows?" Klein couldn't help laughing, making Colin's spirit and body muscles tense at the same time.

With the spiritual intuition of a "seer" and the ability of a "demon hunter" to detect the environment, even within a few meters of distance, they were unable to detect when and how Lovia disappeared.

The upward curve of the corner of Klein's mouth became a little wider. If this place was not isolated from the spirit world, he would have taken off the citrine pendulum on his hand on the spot to see where the elder had gone - but Might this behavior be considered provocative by God? Who cares about Him.

Everything was obscured by the deep darkness, and nothing was revealed, just like the door before entering the Giant King's palace.

He was distracted, but in these three or two seconds, only Medici and the "Silver Knight" marionette were left beside him.

The chief of Silver City wearing silver armor is also missing!

"What just happened?" Klein looked at Medici with a hint of confusion in his smile.

Medici turned his gaze back, then pouted towards his feet.

Klein lowered his head and saw that the shadow under Medici's feet seemed to come to life, rapidly extending upwards and wrapping him inside. When the shadow completely covered Him, it merged with the surrounding darkness, no longer distinguishable from each other.

Klein blinked in surprise, becoming more interested in God's ingenious way of inviting people in: But how can I get there without a shadow? He had originally raised the black cane, intending to prevent the mutation from happening, but in the end, he did nothing and just watched with a smile on his face.

After a few seconds, in the deep darkness, he noticed that his body was getting darker and lighter, as if he was being melted by the environment.

Klein also did not save himself. The corners of his mouth turned up and his head shook slightly as he looked.

After his figure completely disappeared, his vision changed instantly:

The darkness disappeared, and the gray-white stone bricks, surrounding walls, and huge pillars were clearly visible, cast by a thin layer of shadow;

Outside the window, there was no sun, no moon, and no stars, but a faint light shone in, making the whole palace look gloomy, dim, and deserted;

In the deepest part of the palace, there stood a thin layer of shadow, like a curtain;

Lovia, Colin Iliad and Medici, who had not been seen before, stood not far away. Except for Medici, who was extremely familiar with the place, the other two observed the environment cautiously, as if they were in another world.

"It's a pity that my marionette can't come in."

Klein scratched in the air, but failed to catch the spiritual threads of the two Silver Knight Marionettes he had just acquired and had not yet had a chance to play with. He said to them with a pityful smile.

His nonchalant attitude and the chief's calm and normal performance made everyone quickly calm down, and they were no longer so frightened and flustered.

Colin Iliad nodded slightly, and just as he was about to tell his guess, he suddenly felt something in his heart and turned his head to look at the deepest part of the palace.

Klein, Medici and Lovia made similar actions slightly one after another.

In the deepest part of the palace, the thin layer of shadow disintegrated and disappeared, revealing the steps belonging to the giant and the iron-black throne at the top of the steps.

On the throne, sat a man with black hair that reached his shoulders and was slightly curled. His eyes were covered with shadows, and his specific appearance was extremely blurry, making it difficult to see clearly. Layers of virtual black wings hung down from his back, covering him. For most of the body, the robe is made of dark black, wrapped with silver threads, engraved with complex patterns, and hung with gorgeous accessories.

At this time, the man's left elbow was resting on the armrest, and his palm was supporting the side of his face, as if he was sleeping.

When they arrived, the closed golden eyes slowly opened, and the entire hall suddenly became brighter.

No one needs to introduce it. The four demigods present clearly recognized one fact:

The man who is about the same height as a giant sleeping on the iron black throne is the left hand of God, the deputy king of heaven, the "Dark Angel" Sasril - even the ancient and terrifying "Original Creator", the Almighty God!

Among them, Lovia also clearly felt the kind of oppression from an absolutely high-ranking person, just like when she prayed to the "True Creator" and received an answer, it was an aura that could make her thoughts confused, her soul fall, and her body tremble.

Klein was not affected by this aura. He looked around, looking for his marionette. After searching for a while, he cast his suspicious eyes on a human sculpture in the corner of the "Sasril" throne. It was obviously not his secret puppet Enuni, but there were two shadows strangely underneath the sculpture, one of which swayed from time to time and seemed to be looking at Klein.

"Pfft."

Suddenly, Lovia heard a burst of laughter, and she looked to the side in confusion and astonishment.

Klein's back was slightly bent, he pointed at the corner and laughed:

"My shadow has given me so many surprises. I want to thank the adult in front of me."

"Oh, by the way, this is Sasril's physical or mental imprint, but his will is the original? Then what should we call you?"

“Hi, His Highness ‘Dark Angel’? Leader of ‘Redemption Rose’? Or, hello, respected ‘God’?”

There was silence in the hall, so quiet that even the heartbeat and breathing could not be heard. The two demigods of Silver City were terrified, fearing that a bolt of thunder would suddenly fall from the sky and smash the gods to pieces, but God just watched them calmly, without any change in his eyes. Judging from the height difference, it's like a human being looking at a few small animals noisily flapping beneath his feet.

His expression is neither sad nor happy, with an invisible menace, reminiscent of the small crucifixion statues worn by believers in the olden times.

Suddenly, Medici raised his hand, clapped loudly, and then quickly put it down.

"It was Sauron who did it just now." He said seriously.

Colin and Lovia looked at the two lively group members with complicated and awe-inspiring eyes.

These two questions sounded absurd and arrogant, but they allowed Colin Iliad and Lovia to escape the influence of the environment and fall into deep thought.

Just now, they instinctively considered the first question, which was very important and related to what to do next.

However, it's not that they don't want to do something. The key is that the person looking at them from above has his eyes open. It's obviously impossible to explore the surroundings under such huge psychological pressure, right? ?

Colin Iliad tried hard to restrain himself from thinking about the eyes above, and said bravely:

"...You are right, we can first try to investigate from the surrounding wall murals, look for clues, and collect intelligence."

"That's what I thought too."

Klein casually snapped his fingers with his left hand, and then walked directly towards the iron black throne.

...How come your thoughts are different from your actions!

Colin's scalp suddenly went numb, and he subconsciously reached out to grab Klein's clothes, but Klein staggered away as if he had no idea, and moved half of his body out of the way before Colin's hand could be stretched out.

Colin took the opportunity and quickly winked at Lovia.

Klein didn't feel there was anything wrong with his behavior at all. Looking at God's subtle attitude, he felt that the other party was quite interested in his performance - who asked him to call him Sequence 8 "Joker"? However, Klein felt quite lucky at this time. Fortunately, he had not completely lost his mind, otherwise he would not be able to control his current emotions at all - when he was simulating how to say hello, he almost blurted out "Hi, Xiao Sa".

Seeing that Gehrman Sparrow had taken two steps forward, Lovia finally came to her senses, turned her head away, and turned her profile towards God:

"I'll give it a try with the grazing soul."

Although this is suspected of using a secret door to engage in animal husbandry, it is relatively safer and will not endanger the exploration team.

Klein nodded and turned his body sideways with a smile on his face.

A three- to four-meter-tall shadow immediately appeared in front of Lovia. It had a pair of goat horns covered with mysterious patterns on its head. Its skin was dark and dull, full of evil feelings. It was a demon.

It was different from the demons Klein had seen before. There were many traces of decay on its body, with yellow-green pus hanging on it, which seemed to be mixed with the power of "corruption".

It should be a specialty of the God-Forsaken Land.

As Klein casually looked at the phantom, the demon spread out the giant bat-like wings on its back, causing the light blue flames above to burn even more intensely, emitting a strong smell of sulfur.

It stepped forward, slowly approaching the iron-black throne and the steps prepared for the giant, using its own dangerous intuition to detect possible changes.

…

Seeing Edward's field camera stopped outside God's Throne, the Demon of Knowledge grabbed a handful of melon seeds with some disappointment and boredom. He decided to finish the rest time after eating all the melon seeds here, and continue to ponder the newly improved technologies and inventions presented in the church.

He is very interested in the compulsory education, patent applications and many technologies that Russell left behind. Now that Intis has been cleansed across the country, it is the knowledge demon that restarts these technologies that will help the development, dissemination and protection of technology. moment of the act of knowledge.

He doesn't need anchors, but He doesn't mind rebuilding schools and institutions of higher learning and then taking a while to sift through the followers He wants.

After screening enough talents and believers, the Demon of Knowledge can consider taking them away, find any hidden place to study with concentration, and then wait for the doomsday barrier to disappear, the western continent to be connected, and the believers on both sides to join together.

When the time comes, the earth will stay there if it can, and if it can't, let believers build spaceships and take them to the stars to find livable planets.

He has almost thought about what happened next. There are many civilizations and ethnic groups in the universe that believe in "knowledge", "wisdom" and "magic". This is the most simple need of all living beings besides "power". No matter where the demon of knowledge goes, There are sufficient sources of students.

Edward knew that half of his body had not followed, and he had no idea that Klein and others had been invited to God. He glanced at the Demon of Knowledge and suddenly asked:

"What's the use of summoning Bethel back? Do you have the ability to make Klein directly become a god from Sequence 2?"

"Why not?" The Demon of Knowledge asked in confusion, "He has a mysterious fate, and his promotion will never fail."

"Is it okay to be directly promoted to Secret?"

"He values ​​his humanity very much and will restrain himself from being directly mysterious as much as possible."

"Why have you started betting on human nature?" Edward's eyes widened, "Do you understand this thing? This is the most unreliable thing."

"I really don't understand it, but judging from Klein's appearance, he should be able to restrain himself."

The Demon of Knowledge thought for a while and simply said:

"Frankly speaking, my purpose is to make God unhappy, and taking away His authority is just to vent my anger. Who asked Him to tear me to pieces and eat me alive? Do you know how much precious data I lost because of this? I was swallowed by Him. At that time, all the 'knowledge and technology' I possessed were integrated by His 'omniscience'. After He split, I could only get back one-tenth or two-tenths of it. This is all my authority and my life!"

He rarely showed a sullen expression, but soon returned to his usual indifferent and tranquil expression:

"Other than that, Klein's performance and awareness are good."

"Compared to me instigating Bethel to commit suicide and giving me his characteristics, Bethel would probably be more willing to commit suicide to Klein."

Edward answered in time: "It doesn't matter if you fail anyway. Klein doesn't have the option of 'failure and madness to death'. Failure is nothing more than becoming half a secret. You can also count it as a conspiracy and make a small profit."

"The ritual of the door path is not only related to seals and breaking away from seals, but also related to the starry sky and the universe. It is not a bad idea for Klein to jump from Sequence 2 to Sequence 0. He can just find a Sequence 1 to make the transition in the middle - this is really easy to verify. A guess of mine."

"What?"

The Demon of Knowledge pursed his lips and calmly told the academic problem that had troubled him for a long time:

"When a soul falls from Source Castle, does it count as breaking away from the seal of the old days?"

"If you count, this alone is enough for him to complete the so-called god-making ceremony."

…

While Colin Iliad and Klein and other demigods were paying attention to it, they also examined the details of this shadow palace and discovered that behind the iron-black throne where Sasriel was sleeping, there was an opposite, gray The blue, dim door depicts a dusk scene.

Colin's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered the scene he saw when he was promoted, the "Angel of Destiny" Ouroleus gave him the blessing - passing through the huge palace, there was a gap behind the throne through which Out the glorious door!

This may be the "door" to the outside world... Colin Iliad and Lovia flashed such an idea at the same time.

At this moment, the demon figure who had walked halfway through the journey suddenly stopped and was shrouded in a ball of intertwined silver-white lightning. It fell apart with a crackling sound and quickly faded.

A beam of light entwined with sacred flames fell out of thin air, completely purifying the demon's soul.

Lovia did not feel any pain due to the loss of her grazing target, but frowned slightly, unable to think of a better way to explore.

"It seems He doesn't like demons."

Klein looked around and said with an exaggerated smile:

"As expected, you still have to rely on me."

As he spoke, he slowly walked forward, took out a box of matches from his pocket, lit them one by one, and threw them around casually.

"I've always been timid." After throwing away half the box of matches, Klein half-turned around, looked back, and explained with a smile.

Medici clicked his tongue loudly, and then said: "It was Einhorn just now."

Then, illuminated by the red flames, Klein continued to walk towards the iron-black throne that might once have belonged to the Giant King.

When he came to the place where the demon soul was destroyed, his left palm suddenly tightened.

God looked at him calmly, and Klein lowered his head and saw that "Creeping Hunger" had returned to the state of a human leather glove. An exaggerated gap opened in the palm of his hand, and inside were two rows of illusory, white teeth.

This sealed object is trying to bite Klein's flesh and blood, eating his body and soul together.

"Creeping Hunger" has fallen!

"Tsk." Klein let out an obvious sigh, and grabbed the historical projection of the "Poseidon Scepter" with his right hand.

After confirming that there was no change in the "1" level sealed object that had no living characteristics, he raised his right hand and stuffed the other end of the "Poseidon Scepter" into the mouth of "Creep Hungry".

"Creeping Hunger" gnawed a few times, and finally regained its composure after being suppressed by the personality.

After laughing twice, Klein took another step with lightning and moved forward a few meters.

At this time, the shadows covering the walls, giant pillars, and floor tiles cracked one after another, and brass-colored eyes grew out one after another.

A figure was outlined in front of Klein, who was being watched by countless eyes.

He first appeared as Gehrman Sparrow with black hair and brown eyes and a stern face, then twisted into a bookish Klein Moretti with black hair and brown eyes, ordinary facial features, and then degenerated into a blurry shadow. , gray mist filled the air from the body.

At this moment, the figure that seemed to reveal all of Klein's secrets stopped.

boom!

He exploded and turned into countless illusory fragments that fell to the ground and disappeared.

Klein raised his eyebrows, tutted and said with a smile:

"The 'omniscient' power that belongs to the 'reader' path?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the brass eyes growing around him and in the shadows on the ground swayed, and they uttered a voice that was so ethereal that it seemed to come from ancient times:

"The aura of 'Origin Castle' still lingers around you."

This was probably the first time that God had spoken in person since they came to the imperial court. It was so mysterious.

"Origin Castle"... Colin Iliad seemed to remember something, and felt a certain sense of enlightenment.

You just want to see if the source of essence in me is strong enough to revive the spirit of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun on the spot?

Before he could think about what to say, the brass eyes hidden in the shadows spoke again:

"Your fate intersects with Amanysis, Leodro, Adam, Amun, Herabergen, Oseikus, Medici, Ouroleus, and Him..."

Colin Iliad and Lovia were no strangers to the real names spoken by the brass eyes. They knew that the first one was the former "Night Goddess", followed by seven of the eight kings of angels. And there are many current Sequence 0 true gods, which made them a little stunned when they heard it. They couldn't believe that Gehrman Sparrow would have a fateful intersection with so many high-ranking beings beyond Sequence 1.

When Klein heard the first name, he suddenly understood. But he was not in the mood to make fun of his "theological communication skills", so he asked with an obvious smile:

"Him?"

"He is another me. He is the sun god and the true creator."

Perhaps it was an illusion, but a smile seemed to appear briefly on God's golden eyes and marble statue-like face.

"While I was sleeping in the Sea of ​​Chaos, I had a dream."

"In the dream, I became a human being."
