Chapter 259 [Ashes of Angele: The Last Black Knight]
The portal shrank into a small black dot behind Chen Ke in an instant, and then disappeared.
Chen Ke came to the Kingdom of Vanhede again.
This was the third time he had used the ability to open the door today. He really didn't have time to choose just now, so he just pinched a soul to open the door. He didn't know how much life that soul could add.
"What a loss... I hope I can find something useful this time." Chen Ke sighed.
At this moment, he was standing in the cave in the mountain where Faralis was bound. The sunlight penetrated from the cracks in the mountain in the distance, like a sharp blade, cutting into the interior of the church.
A straight rock path extended forward from Chen Ke's feet, and at the end was a staircase leading up. Chen Ke certainly knew that it was the main room of the Vanhede Cathedral.
I wonder how Parker is now?
Chen Ke thought while looking at the tattered suit on his body. This black suit with a legendary effect had completed his mission and was broken into strips in the battle with Balder.
Chen Ke had never seen an enemy like Balder. He could not feel the murderous aura of the other party, nor could he detect the other party first in any way. Balder brought great pressure to Chen Ke.
First of all, he was very sure that he was being targeted. The organization behind Balder was most likely Asra. Of course, it was not ruled out that it was some other deformed organization.
Secondly, if someone could prevent him from absorbing the murderous aura, then there must be more than just Balder... Even if there was no one, Chen Ke would not dare to take the risk.
The difference between Chen Ke and other psychics, or his greatest advantage, was that he could use life to replace psychic energy.
This allowed him to become an outlaw psychic, and he did not need to do the complicated operations such as draining water once a week as Diana said.
Replenishing life with murderous aura and then using life to release psychic power was a perfect loop. And as long as he could continuously absorb murderous aura, or the person who wanted to kill him was strong enough, Chen Ke's endurance was almost unlimited.
He became stronger when he met a strong opponent, and he was not afraid of being surrounded and beaten.
Secondly, life increased the power of extraordinary skills. For the same skill, Chen Ke could make the skill more powerful by investing more life.
He had never seen how powerful "Superman" was, but he believed that as long as he could continuously improve his lifespan, it would only be a matter of time before he surpassed Superman.
Moreover, during the battle with Balder, Chen Ke noticed a detail that the Faralis Great Sword, which he could not lift before, could be used freely with both hands.
What caused this change?
Chen Ke guessed that it was the result of the increase in the lifespan limit.
When the lifespan limit was only 20 hours, he could not use this sword freely, but when his lifespan limit reached 24 hours, this sword could be used with both hands.
Chen Ke found the trick.
His lifespan limit represents many things.
He is not only a timer for how long he can live, but also his spiritual energy reserve, and at the same time, it also represents his strength.
Chen Ke summoned Faralis's ruthless rage again, clenched his hands tightly, and gestured a few times with the Meyer swordsmanship posture remembered in his mind. His hands were similar to the training swords in the sword hall.
But as long as he cut to one hand, the weight that he could not lift anyway came back.
"It's better to keep increasing the upper limit of lifespan, so that you can be stronger..." Chen Ke said secretly.
The higher the upper limit of lifespan, the more powerful the skill will be, and the more holy objects you can wield.
The holy objects summoned in the Great Void cannot be restored to gems, so Chen Ke simply carried the greatsword on his shoulders and summoned the priest's robe, soldier's leather pants and marching boots to replace his broken suit.
He walked down the steps and came to the main room of the church in two steps. At first glance, he saw the fire-starting broadsword stuck in the ground.
The fire was extinguished, and Parker was lying on the bench to sleep. In the distance, Brother Dixin, who was wearing next-generation equipment, was still sitting there in a constipated posture thinking about life.
As an investigator, Parker did not have enough psychic energy to use holy objects, so after the burning effect of the broadsword reached the time limit, he could not re-ignite.
Chen Ke did not move the sword, thinking about getting it after going out. In fact, entering Van Hed this time was not in Chen Ke's plan, but since he was here, he would go with the flow and see what changes there were.
The head of Faralis has been returned, so something must have happened here. Chen Ke came to Parker and pushed him, wanting to ask something.
Parker woke up from his dream, almost jumping off the chair, holding his gun in his hand. When he saw Chen Ke, his expression became very surprised.
"Chen Ke! Chen Ke, you are still alive?!" Parker asked in surprise.
"Is it strange?" Chen Ke asked back, sticking his sword on the ground, with his other hand on his waist.
"I thought you were dead. Since you went in, you have never come out... I don't know how long it has been..." Parker sighed and rubbed his temples.
Chen Ke had nothing to say. It had been more than half a month since he fell off the cliff with the contract demon last time and opened the door to go out. The time of Van Hede is still, and Parker must have waited for a long time.
"Has anything interesting happened here when I was away?" Chen Ke asked.
"Isn't the most interesting thing that you appear again? What did you see down there? Is it dangerous?" Parker asked while looking at the passage under the statue.
"There's nothing inside. You can go and see for yourself." Chen Ke spread his hands.
"I tried. After you went in, I heard a vibration coming from inside. I went down the stairs and found a layer of fog blocking the way. I tried many times, but I couldn't get in." Parker shook his head.
"Oh... why didn't I see it? I've never seen that kind of thing." Chen Ke said perfunctorily.
"It's not strange that anything strange happens here. The important thing is that you appear again, and... you have changed your clothes... I hope you find a way to leave here." Parker said.
"Administration agents always have multiple holy objects in case of emergency. Parker, I have found a way out." Chen Ke said.
He can take Parker out, he knows it very well. Although he doesn't know whether taking Parker out will have any impact on the world.
Of course, Chen Ke has seen the concept of timeline now. Rama and Louis were brought back by him from 2006. This Parker who was supposed to be dead is probably from other timelines like Rama and others.
But Parker is obviously more special. He died in front of him, and now he is sitting in front of Chen Ke. According to what Chen Ke has experienced, he guessed that this phenomenon belongs to a kind of time split.
Parker in the Xijin Building split into two. It wasn't that he became two, but that the timeline forked, right under his nose.
Two possibilities, happening in one place: Xijin Building.
Maybe he died, so his body appeared in Xijin Building, maybe he was still alive, so he jumped into the portal opened by the consortium and came to Vanhede.
"Have you found a way to get out? Is the chance of success high?" Parker stood up, looking very excited.
"100%, foolproof, absolutely reliable, but we have to wait." Chen Ke said.
"I have waited long enough, and it's okay to wait longer, Chen Ke, I'm counting on you. Can you tell me what the method is?" Parker said, he looked very depressed at first, but now he has regained his brilliance.
"I need to complete the cycle of this place before I can open a portal to go back. Parker, you stay here, it's still safer here." Chen Ke said.
Chen Ke felt that the ability to open the door at will should not be known to too many people, even if it is to open the door, it must be explained. He will also give an explanation to Shreli, but now, he wants to focus on the Great Void itself.
The first cycle has been completed, how many more are there? Chen Ke asked Parker to wait a little longer, and then walked towards Brother Huixin who was sitting on the steps.
"I returned my head, what about now?" Chen Ke asked.
Brother Huixin crossed his fingers, did not raise his head, sighed deeply, and said: "Oh... you are still a little capable, but don't be complacent, you are not the only one trying to solve the secrets here, you have opened the passage to another fragment, maybe you will meet people coming in from other directions... They haven't solved the cycle yet, maybe, now they have become soulless people... Hehehehehe..."
"Other directions...? What do you mean...?" Chen Ke was stunned.
"The Great Void is a gathering of great moments in an era, and the direction to enter here is not the only one. I advise you to be careful..." Brother Huixin smiled.
"Which year are you from... buddy." Chen Ke asked.
"It's farther than you can imagine, that's not your time." Brother Huixin said.
"What is H.C.P?" Chen Ke asked again.
"You have too many questions, why not do something meaningful." Brother Huixin did not answer.
"I can take you out, I promise, as long as you answer my questions." Chen Ke said.
"I don't belong to your time, you won't understand, you can't go there. Stop talking, go take risks, hehehehe..." Brother Huixin said.
"What do you mean...? It doesn't belong to my time?" Chen Ke asked.
But Brother Huixin stopped talking, he closed his eyes, as if he was taking a nap.
"Fuck..." Chen Ke snorted coldly, turned around and looked at the door of the church.
The door was a little different from before. It was just a stagnant scene, but now it was more like a part of this scene. Even if he just stood in front of the door, Chen Ke could feel the cold wind blowing in from the crack of the door.
Chen Ke put his hands on the door, and what he felt was no longer the isolating film, but the real wooden door panel, with complex carvings and inlaid iron spokes on it, which was extremely cold.
Chen Ke gritted his teeth, exerted his arms, and slowly pushed the door open. The door made a creaking sound, and the lower edge of the door panel scraped an arc mark on the brick floor.
"Chen Ke! What are you doing?" Parker asked from a distance.
"As you can see, I'm pushing the door." Chen Ke said.
"I advise you to think carefully. Who knows what's outside the door!" Parker was a little nervous.
"Then let's take a look." Chen Ke said.
Having experienced a lot, Chen Ke is not someone who has never seen big scenes. He has seen gods. What else can there be here? Could a dragon fly out?
After the door was pushed open, a strong white light sprinkled into the main room of the church, and a cold breeze poured into the room, blowing out all the candles. The ashes were like flying snow, floating in the air.
Chen Ke walked down the steps and came to the outside. He found a broken bridge in front of him. The bridge connected the circular city wall, connecting this church built on the mountain wall with the Kingdom of Vanhede.
At this time, a strong airflow sound came from under the bridge, and the cyclone came with the sound, blowing up the flying ashes on the ground of the bridge.
Chen Ke was in trouble. He held the sword tightly in both hands and looked nervously at the side of the broken bridge. At the same time, a huge creature flew out from the end of the rock steps.
It leaped from the bottom of the broken bridge, swirled in the air, landed its claws on the bridge, and turned to look at Chen Ke. It was a huge gray-white flying dragon.
Chen Ke couldn't even say "Fuck!". He felt his whole body trembling. He made a posture for battle, but he couldn't feel the opponent's murderous aura.
The white dragon howled to the sky, making an awesome roar, and then kicked its claws and flew into the sky again, leaving only six deep gullies on the edge of the broken bridge.
