Chapter 521 The Background of Despair

800
"..."

Bright red blood flowed out from the wounds on the body of His only relative, quickly soaking the black gauze dress, Antigonus's pants and the slightly longer hem of his shirt, but there was no strong smell of blood around.

Because there is no one left to sustain the dream and deceive the senses.

"……elder sister……?"

Antigonus heard a sound like glass breaking, and inexplicable dark corners appeared in front of him, above him, and even in many places. In the dream world, it was a leisurely and comfortable afternoon, and the warm sunlight shone on the backs of the wolf brothers and sisters. This was Antigonus' favorite moment. It was still afternoon, and night had not yet fallen. Such irregular and abnormal dark corners should not have appeared.

Antigonus felt that the darkness was an eyesore, but he could neither ignore nor erase it.

The entire dream world began to crumble, and the vegetation and valleys of his own kingdom of night, the Honachis Mountains, began to crack and shatter like paintings printed on glass windows.

The collapse of all this points to only one answer.

Up to this point, no matter how much Antigonus used "illusions" and "symbols" to deceive himself, it was of no avail.

However, even Antigonus himself did not expect that He would be so calm at this moment.

He was so calm that even his spiritual fluctuations gradually subsided. He was so calm that after looking at the blood that soaked the flowers and plants under his feet and the clothes of the two people, he was not furious or crazy. He just calmly and calmly held his sister's head in his arms.

Even if the family he wanted to embrace would no longer open their arms to him, would no longer smile at him, would no longer gently stroke his head with a gentle voice and hands, and would no longer say anything to him - everything about his sister would only appear in Antigonus's craziest dreams, and Antigonus would no longer fall into any dream.

That most beautiful dream was over, and the person he was supposed to protect was dead.

Antigonus, who still has some tenderness and attachment, will also cease to exist with the death of the Mother of Heaven, and the only one who wakes up from the broken dream is "half a fool".

This was an embrace that Antigonus did not want to let go of, as if he had reached the end of his rope, as if he had reached the end of his rope.

The two monsters had to rely on each other and lick each other's wounds, and in the end, only Antigonus was left. He woke up from a long dream, but immediately saw his sister's death.

At this moment, the only thing Antigonus could be sure of was that this was the last time he could hug his sister, because he was sleeping somewhere now, and his sister had died in Calderon, the "City of the Dead" where he could never go - even if it was a dream, he greedily hoped that the world would collapse slower, slower.

"elder sister."

He hugged the head tightly in his arms and murmured hoarsely.

The black veil flowed from His fingertips like water, and blood flowed all over the body of this wolf-like and human-like god. The scene looked horrifying and terrifying.

"elder sister……"

Can't catch it.

Those times and his brothers and sisters were like scrolls in his memories, like quicksand in his palms. Antigonus closed his eyes, tears slowly falling from the corners of his eyes. The last thing he tried to hold in his hand was finally destroyed before his eyes.

As He spoke, everything around Him gradually fell silent.

The stained glass-like world peeled off piece by piece, shattered, revealing the dark and deep background of the dream. The laughter and melodious songs echoing in the Kingdom of Night disappeared with the wind. The statue of "Lord of Night, Mother of Heaven" and the cathedral on the top of the mountain were melted by the diffuse night. The bright sunshine, the distant snow-capped mountains and plains, the green forests and the gem-like lakes at the foot of the mountain all disappeared. Those beautiful things melted away like the ice and snow of a smile, leaving only a dark and muddled darkness, and Antigonus was the only color in it.

"I knew it a long time ago..."

The thing I was holding in my arms also disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Antigonus lowered his head, feeling empty inside.

He wanted to cry loudly, but no sound came out. He wanted to stand up in his dream, but the movement to stand up suddenly froze.

——After the beautiful world collapses, what follows is the painful and desperate reality.

It was like a dusty secret was exposed, and the dusty door finally opened. It was also like a scabbed wound was stabbed with a sharp sword, cutting the flesh and blood. The past grabbed him, grabbed him who was indulging in the past. The fear of running away and the despair born of weakness captured Antigonus. The bursting memory stretched out its arms from the darkness and strangled the throat of the "half fool".

Even if he became the king of angels, he still had to live in hiding.

One day, someone came to visit the "Kingdom of Night" and hoped that he who was hostile to the Goddess of Night would join their camp;

It was the black emperor wearing a crown who knighted himself beneath the black tower that towered into the sky;
It was the first time he could finally get a break, finally fall asleep without his sister's comfort, the first time he could integrate into the human world as a noble, and live a life of harmony with other angel kings from neighboring paths, with undercurrents surging.

After agreeing to the suggestions of his two colleagues, he, who needed power the most, took the initiative to offer to become the bait to "become a god and attract Sefirah Castle";

He failed, being corrupted by the will of the Lord of Mysteries. Not only did he fail to become a god, but his condition became worse and worse, and he even lost track of who he was. The Mother of Heaven came to help him, but she was powerless because of her weak power.
At the very end, the eyes of Mother Sky lost their luster, and She was brought into a deep sleep by the water of the "River of Eternal Darkness".

Antigonus' eyes suddenly widened, and for the first time his face showed an expression of hideous pain but unable to cry. He clutched the cloth on his chest with his hands, where his heart was beating with despair.

"Why do you want to wake up?" My sister's words seemed to echo in my ears.

Yes, why...why did he wake up? What he wanted, what he longed for was right in front of him, right beside him. He didn't have to worry about them dying in a place he couldn't see, nor did he have to worry about himself bringing disaster to them...but when you woke up, all you saw was sadness instead of miracles, and all you witnessed were scars that were beyond recognition.

The past that you wanted to protect has been trampled upon, and all that is left is pain.

"Because I already knew...the weak don't deserve any miracles."

"Because I already knew...they wouldn't even give me a dream!!"

Antigonus roared angrily. He saw the sky outside and the dazzling silver-white light piercing through the cracks in his dreams. The light stung his eyes and made him cry. He stretched out his hand regardless, but could not catch even a speck of ash.

Outside, all the "fortune tellers" heard the almost heart-wrenching wolf howls at this moment. The muttering of "Honachis, Fregola" ceased, and after the beast's dying howl, the spirits of the fortune tellers who were strong and had not lost control all shook at the same time, and almost at the same time, they had the idea of ​​"I should go to Mount Honachis".

On the top of the mountain, Duke Antigonus, with an ancient yet youthful face, frowned, and the tears flowing from the corners of his eyes turned into spirits and flew away. His eyelids trembled, and he struggled to wake up. A faceless white mask appeared in front of his face.

The aggregation has begun.

……

"Things are a little bad."

Edward reached out and grabbed the "Mysterious Attendant" Extraordinary Characteristic that was about to fly away in his arms. He felt an extraordinary shock from the spirituality emanating from the Extraordinary Characteristic. There was no doubt that its target was the one at the top of Honachis.

Edward's expression was a little unhappy. He wanted to suppress the Beyonder's extraordinary characteristics, but somehow he stopped the sealing action and instead looked in the direction of Calderon, thinking:

"Antigonus has really woken up? It seems that the God of War succeeded. It's amazing that a true God could drag on until today against two opponents with only the Angel King left... If He had acted earlier, the death of the Mother of Heaven would not have had such a big impact on Antigonus."

"This guy should have become Antigonus's first target now!"

"It is better to open it than to block it. If we suppress that guy and prevent him from taking revenge, he will also attract his hatred, right? Demon of Knowledge, do you have any way to negotiate with Antigonus and ask him to stop after killing his enemy? Has the God of War begun to accommodate the Beyonder characteristics of the other two paths?"

"You just don't want to be hated by the 'crazy half-fool' who is about to wake up, right?"

"Of course. How about I go kill the God of War first to help Him?"

The Demon of Knowledge did not answer.

The Demon of Knowledge, who was far away in Intis, looked at Honachis in the distance. In his eyes, he could already see the sudden and terrifying huge vortex on the main peak of the Honachis Mountains. That was the embodiment of the power of aggregation in mystical connection. In reality, it manifested as a sudden increase in the power of aggregation, but in the eyes of this god who possessed the power of "seeing secrets", it was clearly presented.

Obviously, Antigonus, who had just shown signs of awakening, had realized the lack of his own extraordinary characteristics. He knew that he was once a "half fool" who was only one sequence one and a ceremony of deification away from the position of a "fool". Now he was frantically calling for his extraordinary characteristics and another one.

But those influenced by Him are far more than the "Servant of Mysteries" in Edward's hand and the "curtain" on the body of the "God of Miracles" Cotal. The whole world is influenced by the supreme path of this "fortune teller". All things related to the "fortune teller" are madly "making a pilgrimage" to Mount Honachis!
Just now, the Demon of Knowledge heard that in the neighboring Church of the Creator, three members of the secret order applied to their superiors within one minute, requesting to go to Mount Honachis, and after they gathered in the office, they were surprised to find that their superiors were also writing leave notes.

The Demon of Knowledge temporarily shifted his gaze away from the huge vortex on the top of Mount Honachis, scanned the spiritual world, and used "Peeping into the Secrets" to see the entire spiritual world clearly, and found that there were no special spiritual fluctuations in the spiritual world at present.

"Very good. It seems that the 'Angel of Time' Amon is staying in the Sefirah Castle now. As long as He is still there, the Sefirah Castle, which is not completely ownerless, will not be triggered by the gathering of the 'Half Fool' for the time being..."

The will of the old days may awaken in multiple targets at the same time, but there is only one source essence, and the source essence cannot be distracted.

However, it is possible that the source substance without self-awareness can give power to multiple targets at the same time... But for now, it is natural that the "Time Angel" who is only missing the apotheosis ceremony is more attractive to the source castle than the "half fool" who is just the king of angels.

The Demon of Knowledge grabbed Klein's body, who instinctively moved half a step towards the direction of Mount Honachis. With the help of his secret technique, the connection between Klein and Bethel's will and their bodies was obscured and weakened. Their spirits were not compatible with their bodies and the spirits within them. It was like the Demon of Knowledge took two balls out of two boxes and swapped the positions of the balls.

In other words, one of them now has a seal equivalent to the level of a true God, and the other has a seal equivalent to the level of an angel.

Therefore, the "Miracle Master-level Sealed Artifact" began to act independently, which meant that the Sealed Artifact also began to be affected by Antigonus.

"…'Curtain' hasn't brought 'Dark Wolf' with it yet. It seems that Kotal, who has spent several years with 'Curtain', is not a complete fool. He can still hold it back through his role in the God-Forsaken Land."

Chaos is about to occur worldwide. The seals of the Diviner's Path, regardless of their sequence, will begin to impact the seals and try to get to Antigonus. In the minds of the Earth's Extraordinary People, becoming a god does not require taking on so many complicated characteristics of this path, but the "half fool" who is trapped in the aggregation obviously can't care about so much. Perhaps even if the sequence comes, He will not stop the aggregation. Integrating all the extraordinary characteristics of this path into oneself and achieving "perfection" is also what many of the Old Ones in the starry sky are happy to do.

"It does look a bit like Fu Sheng Xuan Huang Tian Zun... a bit like us."

The Demon of Knowledge was thinking, and suddenly a piece of information appeared in his mind - "All seals in the entire world have been strengthened" - he didn't even need to digest this information, he knew that it must be Bethel and Klein who did it.

He snorted in an ambiguous tone, and then turned his gaze to Calderon again.

In Calderon, the God of War holds a sword dripping with blood, and the "secret" of the Mother of Heaven has been revealed.

In other words, all the secrets in the world were lifted. The Sea of ​​God War Ruins, the darkness at the edge of the God-forsaken Land, and the remains of the Kingdom of Night on the Hornachis Mountains all slowly returned to the real world with His death. And His body fell to the riverside of the River of Eternal Darkness just as Antigonus had seen in his dream, and his head rolled to the ground. The "veil of secrecy" made of uniqueness still covered His head, but it did not hide His face anymore. The blood of the Demon Wolf Daughter flowed into the river and was assimilated by the darkness without causing any ripples.

The God of War was confronting the God of Death. After a thousand years, He finally showed the power of a "demon hunter". After hunting down the beasts on the adjacent path, He pointed his blade at the survivors who were struggling to survive with the power of "source".

"ended."

The Demon of Knowledge felt that there was no need to watch any further. The light of dusk began to condense on the long sword. The God of Death, who was already clamped, had already tried his best to dodge the sword that wanted to cut him and the Mother of Heaven together. He had no way to resist the attack of the God of War.

At the same time, the Demon of Knowledge noticed that the symbol of the Mother Earth in the astral realm began to flicker and dim, while the light of the moon became brighter and brighter. He wondered if the Mother Earth could hold on until the God of War returned to defend - if He really would return to defend.

"…You should get to work. I have two plans."

The Demon of Knowledge exhaled.

"First, you went to the spirit world and found a way to establish a mystical connection with Amon. Then you released the mysterious servant in your hand, made Antigonus a god, and then let Amon steal his apotheosis ritual."

"This is very dangerous. Perhaps the fraudster does not have the courage to do so."

"The second thing is that you go talk to Antigonus... You are more professional and more suitable than me in this regard, right? After all, it was you who killed the Goddess of Night. In a sense, you are their benefactor, even though the Mother of Heaven is dead."
