Secret: The years I served as a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 232: The Number of Outer Gods Increases
489
Edward looked at the strange lamp a few meters ahead, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, then he put his fist to his lips and coughed twice, suppressing the complex emotions and many naughty thoughts in his heart.

Numbered "0-05", "Wishing Lamp", a level 0 sealed object that has never been obtained by the Orthodox Church, and one of the most important sealed objects in "Dawn of the Elements"!

Its danger level is far higher than that of the "Sage's Ornament". It has the real ability to distort reality and summon gods. At the same time, it is widely used in many stories and legends as a "magic oil lamp that can fulfill three wishes". It is an important prototype of many strange objects and evil gods in later generations that "grant wishes and also take people's souls".

To most people this is evil and terrifying, of course, if you have great power...

He walked forward slowly, and the spiritual creature opened the seal of the "Wishing Lamp" for him, took it off the stone platform, and held it in both hands.

Out of respect for the law of the Wishing Lamp and disrespect for the genie himself, Edward stroked the shell covered with mysterious patterns with his fingers, then looked at the wick that was burning silently, and said solemnly in Giant language:
"The Eternal Lamp God..."

Before he finished speaking, the "Wishing Lamp" suddenly emitted a golden light, which rose up like a sticky water curtain, forming a blurry, distorted light golden figure.

A crack appeared on the figure's head, giving it a mouth.

"You?" The figure was startled at first, and then the tone became subtle.

"I was wondering who had broken in. I didn't expect it to be my dear old compatriot. I'm glad you still remember me, who is not worth mentioning. Did you come here today to make a deal with that little girl, or did you come here specifically to laugh at me?"

"..."

“I feel like you’re laughing.”

"I just think of happy things."

Edward coughed twice again, and said with an impeccable sneer:
"My garden is still short of a watering can, and I thought this would be a perfect place for you."

The pale golden figure swayed, and the cut on its head became a crescent moon, which turned into a twisted and exaggerated laugh:

"'Order' cannot fight against 'decline', but 'miracle' and 'chaos' can. Oh, maybe you don't like the word 'order'?"

The Declined King crossed his arms and looked at the genie with the eyes of a rare animal, saying calmly: "A long life always allows me to witness some surprises. There are gods who try to anger me by provoking the part of me that is not good enough."

"How dare you talk about your authority? Have you forgotten that you are now called the Wishing Lamp?"

The genie naturally skipped this topic:

"A long life does cause strange wear and tear on gods. Those little bugs you observe are nothing but insignificant dust in my eyes. They are not smart enough or strong enough to be compared with any of my followers. Using them as subjects and slaves will cause more loss than benefit. If you can really bring some changes to the world of those little bugs, those boring and stupid false gods will be the ones who will be restless."

"Especially the way they repeatedly revised the code is so arbitrary that it makes me sick!"

The Son of Chaos said angrily:

"The code serves the emperor, and the order is set by the gods! As immortal as a rock, as eternal as the universe, how dare they use those mortal thoughts, with those weak, pitiful and weak suggestions to distort the will of the great gods?!"

The Decline King looked at his hands disapprovingly, and slowly smoothed out a small rough edge on his nails:
"Why I am interested in humans was discussed two hundred years ago."

"At least we agree that all good feelings and expectations are just beautified expressions, just like any ordinary thing will be more loved after death than when it is alive. The only advantage of that era is that there was no mystery."

There is no Lord of Mysteries, and that's important.

"So, what is your purpose?"

He looked up at the genie and said, "Please come to my garden as a guest. You have no choice."

The exaggerated crescent of the genie gradually returned to a straight line.

"You think you can destroy me now that you are incomplete? I hate to admit it, but this lamp is really strong."

"Don't worry about this turtle shell. I'm really worried that your brain will disappear along with your Beyonder characteristics. After all, your Old Path does have a wisdom bonus. In addition, I'm curious, if I kill you, where will this part of your consciousness awaken? Any planet in the universe that believes in you, or in the 'Uncertain Mist'?" The Decayed King covered the magic lamp with his hand and said jokingly, "Of course, without the authority of 'Chaos' and 'Order', you may never wake up again. This part of you will die completely."

The lamp spirit laughed and said, "Interesting. This is what makes us like this, our kind and damn brothers. The puppets from two hundred years ago are really boring. I almost thought you were addicted to playing the role of the 'Angel of the Abyss'."

The lamp spirit cursed fiercely in his heart: "You rude and arrogant bastard! I have only had a small part of my authority, the size of a fingernail, cut off, and lost my personal freedom. If you, a lifeless wooden lump, entered the earth, or those other lunatics, under the same conditions, the consequences you will face in the face of the mystery will be even worse than mine now!"

"I can hear it."

"I didn't say anything."

"I am a demon," said the Decayed King. "I can hear your hostility clearly. Shut up."

The genie stopped talking. Although it had no clear body outlines and no face, its body was distorted as violently as its mood.

The Decayed King took the golden "Wishing Lamp" off the stone platform, held it in his hand, and left the dark room. The demonic spirit creatures collected all the sealed objects and followed closely behind him.

They came to the heights of the Emerald City and looked down at everything on the island of Rasha.

The gray volcano continues to erupt, lava has destroyed all vegetation, and volcanic ash has buried eighty percent of the island.

They had been walking casually before, but now, there were mysterious magic lights flashing in several corners of the island. They might have thought that the "Emperor's New Clothes" or other superimposed mysterious magic had taken effect, and were moving quickly towards the harbor.

Each of them has negative emotions that are too strong to be ignored, which is as obvious to the devil as fireflies gathering in a group in the dark night.

The Outer God looked at the survivors and suddenly changed his tone to a more cheerful one:

"It just so happens that I'm here to try out the power of fairy tale magic."

The Level 0 Seal "Sage's Forehead Ornament" only corresponds to Sequence 2, and only has the ability to inform people and temporarily obtain the status and authority of a "sage". Therefore, Edward asked the spirit creature for a Sequence 4 Seal corresponding to "Mystery Peeper" and took it in his hand.

He generously displayed his spirituality, locked onto the fleeing humans, and selected an interesting fairy tale for them:

"Mysterious reappearance..."

"The Red Shoes."...

Forests, farmlands, towns, mountains... even the gorgeous Emerald City was reduced to ruins under the attack. The topography of the island was completely changed. The terrifying high temperature and thick volcanic ash covered the earth faster than one could imagine. The island, which was once a paradise, had suffered a catastrophe. Instead of repairing it, it might be a better choice to flee and find another place. More importantly, they kept praying to the leader, but received no response.

After their calls for help failed, the survivors were eager to escape from their stronghold that had been engulfed by the disaster. They struggled forward in the natural disaster and used mysterious magic to open an escape route for emergencies. As long as they left through this route, they would appear in a safe place at the predetermined location.

In a mountain passage that should have collapsed but was supported by green "pea vines", a woman in a simple black wizard robe suddenly shook, and the expressions of the small group of people following her suddenly became more nervous.

A faint smell of blood filled the small corridor. More than a dozen people had injuries of varying degrees. Blood was oozing out from the simple bandages, and there were signs of burning on their bodies, with large areas of skin showing abnormal black and red colors.

"Has it been discovered?"

The golden-haired man behind her spoke nervously. The female leader was the only demigod who protected them in a small classroom far from the disaster site. After encountering such a terrifying unknown attack, it was better to follow the demigod closely and survive as much as possible.

The lady in the black wizard robe held her breath, suppressed her momentary palpitations, and whispered:

"perhaps……"

The survivors' faces turned even paler. The man with golden hair spoke nervously, "...it would be great if we could pass on the clues."

Having walked here in despair and fear, we are only a few dozen meters away from a successful escape. If we die here, it would be absolutely impossible for us to say that we are not unwilling to die. But to say that we firmly believe that we and others can get out is somewhat self-deception.

The survivors of "Dawn of the Elements" have made preparations. Compared to death, it is more important to pass on clues and information so that the companions who are not in this base and have escaped the disaster can judge according to the specific situation whether to escape incognito or try to do something.

The lady nodded without saying anything to discourage them.

"Volcanoes, environment, weather, is that a high-sequence 'Weather Warlock' or a 'Disaster Priest'?" In such a critical situation, the scholars hurried to analyze the situation. "Theoretically speaking, it is impossible for a 'Sailor' who does not belong to the Church of Storms to be active in the outside world through a high-sequence channel, but we still don't know which channel the 'Weather Warlock' corresponds to."

"Hmm, I seem to have seen in the classics that 'weather wizard' is a name that symbolizes a path of disaster!"

"Do you all think it's 'weather' and 'disaster'? I noticed the color of the lava, the blue flames and the smell of sulfur, as well as the weird cannibalism. These elements have corresponding elements in demonic mysticism..."

The scholars whispered.

"Attacking Lasha and destroying the Emerald City is a provocation to the Queen..."

When his companions began to discuss, the golden-haired man approached the lady in black wizard robes, his face solemn: "If you are not afraid of the queen, you must be at least as strong as the queen, or even an angel! More importantly, the queen is now out of contact..."

He didn't say anything else. The two looked at each other and saw fear and worry in each other's eyes.

“…Escape first.”

In order to calm people's hearts, they said nothing. The blond man followed the lady closely. From his gray cloak came a faint cry. Two children of similar age hid in the teacher's arms, a boy and a girl, who had shed their tears and cried until their voices were hoarse. They were children selected from Lasha by the "Elemental Dawn". They had outstanding spirituality and talents. They happened to be in the classroom when the incident happened. They escaped the tragic disaster and witnessed the destruction of the city they had been living in.

A light curtain constructed by mysterious magic could be seen in front of him. The golden-haired man tightened his cloak, squatted down, and hugged the two children tightly, one on the left and one on the right, with the three faces pressed tightly together.

It took a full two seconds before the man released his hold, stood up, and handed them over to the leading female demigod.

"I hope they follow you." The man smiled bitterly, "I don't have enough strength to protect them, but I can still be a meat shield for once."

Facing a possible angel, no one was sure to protect the two children. The lady was silent for two seconds, nodded slightly, and reached out to touch the hair of the two children. Suddenly, she stopped.

The girl in a simple skirt was wearing a pair of bright, delicate, and incredibly beautiful red dancing shoes.

The next moment, she lifted up her skirt in disbelief and found that she and another woman were wearing red dancing shoes!
The golden-haired man did not find it strange, but the lady, who was a demigod and qualified to learn more myths from the "Mysterious Queen", immediately recognized the origin of the pair of dancing shoes!
This is a crazy curse of dancing to death!

"It's fairy tale magic!"

The next moment after she shouted this, the woman in the team and the little girl in front of her suddenly showed wonderful and intoxicated smiles on their faces. Their eyes rolled up, they stood on tiptoes, jumped high, and their legs danced happily to an invisible rhythm.

A fast-paced minuet rang in the ears of the female demigod, and her legs moved involuntarily. Her face turned pale in an instant, and then took on a strange wood-grained color. She instantly turned into a puppet with a long nose, and immediately removed her feet along with her red dancing shoes, and threw them backwards into the depths of the passage.

But the other two were not so lucky. Their upper bodies were extremely sluggish and could not keep up with the rhythm of their legs. The increasingly intense dance steps made them sway violently like epileptic patients, and they managed to maintain their balance in an extremely strange way under the control of the red dancing shoes.

Everyone's faces were filled with fear, and without any reminder, they immediately ran towards the light curtain in front of them. The blond man also picked up the frightened little boy, dragged the female demigod onto his back, and ran forward as if escaping.

The dance steps of the two people, one big and one small, were so fast that they could not be seen with the naked eye. The tall adult woman kept spitting out blood during the rapid rotation. Her bones were dislocated and her internal organs were broken. Finally, she died while dancing, but her legs were still dancing with her dead body.

The little girl held on for a few more seconds. Her body was very soft, her toes touched the back of her head, her heels were close to her chest, and her calves even went around her neck. But soon, a high jump caused her head to smash against the stone wall above. The headless body twitched a few times and finally fell to the ground.

Then, red dancing shoes appeared on the feet of the men in the team, and one by one they started dancing after a brief moment of fear.

The golden-haired man and the child in his arms also fell into a frenzy of dancing. The female demigod who had lost both legs fell to the ground. She watched all this in horror. A pumpkin carriage appeared out of nowhere, and the tin soldier lifted her into the carriage and drove the wooden horse out of the passage.

Behind her, all the survivors were dancing crazily in oblivion, then they broke their cervical vertebrae, vomited blood and died. At the same time, a strange dance came from far away. A pair of wooden feet in red dancing shoes tiptoed and danced gracefully towards her. It jumped lightly and landed on the back rut of the pumpkin carriage, and followed the pumpkin carriage to the outside world.

……

"correct."

After confirming the last person's death, Edward patted the wishing lamp in his hand and said, "Bernadette is dead, and Roselle will soon be dead. The King of Loen wants to become the new Black Emperor. He is mentally normal, physically healthy, and has not been polluted. The deification ceremony will be held this year."

The wick of the wishing lamp suddenly lit up.

"So, you can start thinking from now on, besides the clues about the source essence, what else can you give me."
