Chapter 353: Like Sunshine Passing Through the Night
His mind was in a mess, and perhaps his subconscious island had already been precisely attacked by Adam at this moment.
Klein felt like he couldn't muster up any energy at all, especially since Adam had already negotiated the terms with him.
Even more, could Adam's mumblings about his own promotion also be part of His plan? It was to make Klein have negative thoughts about giving up.
But at this moment, Klein was powerless to resist Adam's arrangement.
——That was the psychological manipulation exerted by the "Angel King" Adam.
Even without LYB's various plans, Adam would be one of the most terrifying beings after the gods just based on this one move.
It just so happened that at this moment, a "change" occurred that Adam did not expect.
A bronze piece in Klein's pocket felt warm, and he felt refreshed.
"Star's spell?"
"A spell called 'Guardian'?"
No one would have thought that this inconspicuous talisman, which was even made of very cheap materials, would be so effective at this time.
But Klein finally reacted first and chanted:
"An outlier from a distant time and space;"
“The boundary between fantasy and reality;”
"The endless possibilities of tampering with everything."
"Star."
"The uniqueness of the Violent Sea God of Death is unsalable. Please help me."
The unexpected turn of events made Adam stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and stared at Klein with his light-colored pupils:
"Okay, you did a great job."
Although it was not quite in line with his usual style, Adam's warm and restrained expression was gone at this moment, replaced by a calm before the storm.
This also made Klein suddenly blame himself for being careless and shouldn't have involved Sta. Perhaps the current situation was really not something Sta could break.
Mr. Azik might...really be dying...
However, soon, a familiar voice sounded in his ears:
"Xiao Ke?"
"Are you calling me?"
Seeing the familiar black hair and black eyes, Star, who exuded unruly charm and charming temperament, Klein finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the opponent is the "Angel King", we already know that since Sta has stepped forward, he must have the confidence.
Facing those deep and bright eyes, Klein smiled calmly and said:
"Yes."
……
When Mr. Azik finished speaking, he walked forward, following the steps, into the depths of the dark mausoleum.
The black fog that permeated the place stopped panting and slowly dispersed in all directions. The illusory things lurking at the bottom gradually appeared.
It was a feathered serpent so huge that it seemed to occupy an entire island!
It has huge dark green scales, with yellowish yellow feathers growing in the gaps. There are illusory black tubes extending from each feather.
This exaggerated feathered serpent is both illusory and real. Its more specific shape is difficult to describe and seems to have a composition that humans cannot understand.
In its eye sockets burned a pale fire, and its face was that of a human!
The face was bronze in complexion, with soft features and a tiny black mole under the right ear. He was just like another Azik Eggers!
When Azik saw the feathered serpent lurking in the depths of the black fog and the face on top of its mountain-like body, he was startled at first.
Immediately, the corner of his forehead twitched, as if someone had driven a wedge into his temple, splitting his head in two.
Amidst the intense pain, a series of incoherent images suddenly popped up in his mind.
Those scenes were like Thor's hammer, striking Azik's mind again and again, making it impossible for him to endure the pain any longer. He raised his hands to cover his head, his knees gradually weakened, and he collapsed to his knees on the stairs.
He finally recalled everything and understood why he kept dying and coming back to life, and why he kept losing his memory and regaining it again and again:
His soul is not complete!
And he himself is the backup plan left by his father, a backup plan to resurrect himself!
Hey, hey, hey!
Azik's hands had left his head at some point and were resting on the stairs below, and a sound that was not human came out of his throat.
Drops of sweat slid down his forehead and hit the stone slab in front of him, staining it with a layer of light yellow oil and giving rise to fine white hairs.
At this moment, he felt the call and desire of the other half of his soul. The two "selves" that had been separated for more than a thousand years were eager to merge into one and become whole again.
"No..." Azik whispered painfully, not wanting to raise his head and stretch out his right hand.
He saw it very clearly just now. The "self" who transformed into Quetzalcoatl did not have a single bit of rationality, but was filled with extremely cold and madness. If he were to reunite with the other party, he would probably immediately return to his original state of "Archon of Death", or even become a pseudo-god of death with only divinity but no humanity!
Then he will forget everything, forget everyone he once cherished.
"No..." A word burst out from Azik's throat again, and his neck rose up uncontrollably, with dark and cold scales appearing on it.
His forehead suddenly bulged out on its own as if it had life, and then split open, leaving a bloody cut.
A golden light then emerged from nothingness and took shape in flesh and blood.
This is an ancient ornament made of gold. It looks like a slender bird with wings made of pale flames. Inside the bronze eyes, layers of light form a mysterious and illusory door.
As soon as it appeared, Azik growled in pain and raised his head completely. Two balls of pale flames suddenly ignited in his weathered eyes.
Amidst the four leaping pale flames, Azik, with his hands on the ground, had a distorted expression and struggled to stand up little by little, then slowly walked towards the feathered serpent known as the artificial god of death.
As he approached, the entire mausoleum began to shake and the surroundings became transparent, reflecting a world of countless skeletons and shadows.
At that very moment, light came from heaven!
……
Backlund.
Daley Simone, who was forming a "model team" with Captain Dunn and rushing to the next target, suddenly stopped and raised her hand to support her head.
"What's wrong?" Dunn asked puzzledly.
After learning about the appearance of a person with black hair and black eyes, as well as a four-headed female spirit creature during the heavy smog a few days ago, Dunn couldn't help but have a guess in his mind.
However, I was unable to verify it myself, so I had to suppress it in my mind temporarily and not explore it for the time being.
At this moment, he was working harder to accumulate merits for promotion, striving to get one step closer so that he could better track down the truth.
Seeing Daley's strangeness, Dunn stopped and showed some concern on his face. Daley frowned slightly and replied in a dreamy voice:
"I heard strange noises and felt a call from somewhere unknown... I even wanted to kneel down on the ground..."
"Did you hear that?" Dunn asked the other team members carefully.
Leonard Mitchell just shook his head when he heard the slightly old voice in his mind saying:
"Look in the direction of the violent sea."
Leonard subconsciously turned around and looked towards the raging sea in the distance. He saw pure darkness there, no strong winds, no huge waves, no dark clouds, no lightning, no heavy rain, and no sunshine.
……
The strange and evil aura surged and spread wildly outward, sweeping away its own influence, but at a certain moment it stopped the gloomy and crazy influence it brought.
It accumulates where it is, as if a surging darkness is ready to tear everything apart, only temporarily shrouded in darkness.
At the same time, Azik was getting closer and closer to the mountain-like illusory feathered serpent, and his steps were getting faster and faster, as if he was returning to his throne.
However, his eyes under the pale flames were full of pain and his expression was distorted to the extreme.
"No..." Azik whispered.
If they were to return to that inhumane state, this was something that Azik, who already had emotions, never wanted to see again.
Even if he becomes the "God of Death", it is still unclear whether the "God of Death" in that state is a God of Death with self-awareness.
But at this moment, white feathers stained with light yellow oil grew out from the gaps between the dark scales on the exposed parts of the body.
The strong cry and desire made him completely unable to control himself, and he was about to soar into the air and leap towards the huge feathered serpent with his face.
The pale flames from the bird-shaped ornament on his forehead suddenly spread out and flowed to other parts of his body.
A slender, white female hand appeared out of nowhere and pressed on the bird-shaped gold ornament on Azik's forehead.
A figure then appeared between Azik and the mountain-like illusory feathered serpent, interrupting the two's approach.
She was a beautiful lady, wearing a classical robe and a black hood. Her face was expressionless, and her eyes were dark but lacked spirituality.
Then, a female voice sounded anxiously:
"You have three choices..."
"Don't rush to make a decision so early."
Star appeared slowly, holding a staff in his hand, interrupting the first speech of the Goddess of Night after her descent.
"Perhaps, I still have a way to prevent you from merging with the 'Artificial Grim Reaper'."
"It's you……"
There was a note of disbelief in Azik's voice.
Although he knew that Star might be involved in some secrets of the "Eternal Darkness" realm, what Azik didn't expect was:
At this moment, Star actually appeared here, he could actually appear here.
Instead of responding to Azik immediately, or even worrying about Azik for a moment, what appeared was:
Star uses "idealism" and "between reality and illusion" to construct a "blocking zone".
The flying dust was raised by his cane at some point, and at this moment it blocked the cohesive force between Mr. Azik and the "artificial god of death".
It seems that after being mixed with impurities, this "aggregation" based on various aspects is no longer strong.
But at this time, the Goddess of Night seemed to have determined the situation and officially took action against Sta!
That is the fear that comes from the depths of darkness!
It was a stabbing pain all over the body and mind!
The "Hidden Angel" of this beautiful hooded lady, numbered "0-17", inflicted the most extreme "disaster" from the authority that He controls!
As one of the seven righteous gods and one of the final victors of the "Pale Age", the Goddess of Night is undoubtedly decisive.
This is the ancient god who emerged from the Second Age. This is the sinister side of the goddess of night who destroyed the demon wolf clan.
Yes, long before the "Gatekeeper" extraordinary characteristic was sent out, He had already cast the "secret" curse.
Even if it was the "dice divination method", with Star's level at that time, how could he discover the restrictions set by the gods through their own authority, which were originally accumulating and not being released?
At this moment, even with the "resurrection" in hand, Star was surprised to find one thing:
He was in a situation again where he wanted to use "transformation" but didn't want to use it.
Is this the restriction again?
Star raised his cane and tapped the cold ground of the mausoleum.
"Actually, who said that I was trying to steal the uniqueness of the 'God of Death'?"
"I was thinking of sealing it first to delay your progress in obtaining the uniqueness of the 'God of Death' and to delay the outbreak of the war."
“But things have to come to this point in the end.”
This exclamation sounded vaguely sarcastic to the Goddess of Night.
His expression showed obvious surprise, but he still raised his eyebrows:
But so what? Star’s current situation cannot stop him from obtaining the uniqueness of “Death”.
Even if Azik has to make sacrifices in the process, that is "the trend of the times."
In order to allow the "three-in-one" Old Ones to appear before the end of the world in order to fight against the Outer Gods in the starry sky.
From the perspective of the entire planet, there is nothing wrong with asking Azik to make a little sacrifice!
As for Azik's personal emotions and will, weren't those taken into consideration in the choices he gave?
It's just that he lost part of his spirit, he's not dead.
Cold, indifferent...
Even this is the cruelty of the world.
so what?
This is fate, the final judgment given by the gods to the tiny beings!
On the contrary, Sta. Sator was ultimately helpless and at a loss as to what to do in the face of this reality.
Hei Ye clenched his palm and tightly grasped the bird-shaped golden ornament, then slowly retracted his arm and pulled something ancient out of the crack on Azik's forehead.
Azik's expression twisted once again, as if he was suffering from unimaginable pain.
A little bit of spirit seeped out of every drop of his blood and every muscle, interweaving into a transparent soul.
As the bird-shaped gold ornament was pulled out, Azik's translucent spirit began to split in the middle, inch by inch.
——It was as if someone was peeling my skin alive with a knife.
Once again, an inhuman sound came from his throat, which made Star, who was far away, feel dizzy and tingling in his head, as if steel needles were stirring wildly in his brain.
Being fixed in place, Star wanted to reach out over there, but it seemed that there was nothing he could do.
But who says Star is fighting alone?
At this moment, light, holy, bright and extremely blazing light shone in!
Just like the creation of the world, it tore apart all the darkness shrouding the raging sea!
