Ring of Fate

Chapter 777 Resonance
The shrill cries seemed to be coming nearby:
"My child, Omibella, where are you?"

When he heard the name "Omibella", Lumian shuddered violently, and regained a little bit of his self-esteem from the blackening and stagnant state of mind brought about by extreme fear.

"who?

“Who’s looking for Omibella?

"Why did you look for Omibella?"

Lumian was startled, and in a daze he discovered that the surroundings had become unusually dark, with a sense of enclosure and confinement.

He stretched out his hands in confusion, reached forward, and felt a hard and cold "wall".

He lay on top and tried to look outside through the gap in the "wall".

The "wall" was pitch black but translucent, and Lumian could vaguely see the pale sky, collapsed towers and shattered palaces.

He also saw the temperance demigod Sharon, who was wearing a small soft hat and a Gothic long skirt, floating to the side, and stretched out her hand to pick up the "Sword of Courage" that had been eroded into a pale color.

Passing Sharon and looking down, there were ruins scattered with rubble. A pale figure in tattered clothes was kneeling on the ground, bending his back, as if he was about to crawl down.

The figure was trembling all over, struggling hard, slowly raising his head and straightening his body.

It was a face wearing a golden mask, it was Lumian’s own figure!

"I?

"If I'm outside, who's here?"

Lumian, who was already in a daze and only half awake, became even more confused.

Almost at the same time, he saw himself outside. His charred skin fell off, and piece after piece of half-pale and half-brown feathers grew out. His stomach was wriggling at a degree visible to the naked eye, and in some of the wounds left on his body by the sunlight, there were ears of wheat, mushrooms, flowers and other things of different colors growing.

Silently, the Temperance Demigod Sharon jumped onto the golden mask, then appeared in front of Lumian and stuffed the "Sword of Courage" into his palm.

The surging courage immediately dispelled the fear that suppressed Lumian's reason and consciousness, making his vision instantly turn pale instead of dark.

There was no longer that strong sense of enclosure and confinement around him.

He raised his head higher, and it was no longer himself that he was looking at, and he was no longer using a condescending perspective.

His gaze fell on the top of the "Death God" main hall, and on the dark giant egg that was pressed under the belly of the corpse of the Phoenix ancestor.

He intuitively believed that he was inside the egg, observing the outside world through the eggshell!

No, I was not in the pitch-black dome. Rather, I, who had lost my courage and was overwhelmed by the aura of the ancient god, resonated with the creature bred in the dome and shared its senses.

So, I "saw" the scene outside the eggshell and "heard" the miserable cries of the person searching for Omibella, and my body began to show signs of being contaminated!
Thinking of this, Lumian quickly lowered his head and looked at his body, and saw that the feathers that had grown were falling one by one, mixed with wheat ears, mushrooms and flowers.

They have all lost all their color, turned pale and dull.

Lumian also saw his stomach gradually flattening, and felt the blood of the dead, which should have coagulated, flowing everywhere.

Suddenly, he understood why Osetto took the risk and spent all his energy to conceive a fetus with undead qualities and the aura of the underworld.

He only has a little Omebella blood, and after being suppressed by the corpse of the ancient god, he can resonate with the creature in the black bird egg and have a certain degree of consciousness interaction. What's more, the bird-clawed monster baby has more gifts from the "Great Mother", a fusion of the "other world" and the kingdom of the dead, and may also have Omebella blood!

“If we hadn’t killed Osetto’s premature baby in time, it might have used the resonance and interaction just now to merge itself with the creature in the pitch-black bird egg and control it from the root, or even catalyze it!

"Well, premature birth means that the bird claw monster baby is not special enough, so we must be very careful. Even if we really make it to the last step, there is a high probability of failure...

"The question now is why the creature inside the pitch-black bird egg can hear the 'mother' calling out to Omibella...

"Who is Omibella's 'mother'? It can't really be the 'Great Mother', right? Hasn't She always been outside the barrier?

"What is the relationship between the creature in the pitch-black bird egg and Omibella?"

As his thoughts raced, Lumian suddenly heard an illusory snapping sound.

He stared in astonishment and saw that the pale flame burning on the surface of the pitch-black giant egg had dimmed a lot and was peeling off, and an obvious crack had appeared on the pitch-black giant egg itself.

It seemed to be disintegrating to some extent.

The next second, the entire land of the Pale Kingdom began to tremble, and an aura of deathly silence emanated from above the pitch-black dome, which was the corpse of the ancient god of death.

Even holding the Sword of Courage, Lumian inevitably stiffened and trembled.

The surrounding palaces and towers, whether they were in ruins or half-collapsed, began to shake violently as if they had encountered a severe earthquake.

An idea emerged in Lumian's mind:
"The corpse of the Phoenix ancestor Gray Carrie is awakening...

"Run!
"Run away!"

Lumian shouted this in his heart, but he couldn't turn his body or take even a step.

The hand of the Temperance Demigod Sharon grabbed him, and the figure of the "Sword Knight" was reflected in his eyes, which was much dimmer and thinner than before.

Cracks appeared in the pale sky and extended to the shaking earth. An extremely terrifying feeling was rapidly accumulating on the top of the "Death" main hall in front of Lumian and others.

Sharon took Lumian and started the "spiritual world travel" directly.

This can also be used in the underworld, but will cause punishment.

Countless indescribable limbs stretched out from the void and grabbed Sharon who was moving rapidly.

Sharon forced herself to endure the damage to her limbs and continued to move towards the dark church on the edge of the Pale Kingdom.

Her body was ablaze with pale flames, which directly burned her spirit, causing clumps of powder to fall continuously.

After just two or three seconds, Sharon could no longer hold on and interrupted her "spiritual journey". She fell into the pale wilderness outside the "Death" palace, nearly a thousand meters away from the dark church.

After Lumian, holding the "Sword of Courage", escaped from the palace complex left by the "God of Death", he was no longer so afraid. He pointed at himself without hesitation, signaling Sharon to attach herself to him.

At the same time, he saw hideous cracks spreading rapidly from behind. Through them, he could see a bottomless expanse of deep black, a sphere wrapped in blood-red objects, and a mountain range with many tombs...

After feeling a chill in his body, Lumian quickly ignited a blazing white flame, which turned into a majestic spear, flew up on the spot, and flew to the edge of the Pale Kingdom.

Countless cracks chased after him like broken glass, above, below, left and right. Behind him, in the direction of the Palace of Death, there was some heavy movement.

As it was eroded by the paleness, the flaming spear disappeared and reappeared twice.

Finally, Lumian left the pale realm and landed in front of the dark church that towered into the darkness.

Only the underground part of the church can be seen here, which looks like a huge mountain.

Lumian passed through the open heavy wooden door and transformed into a flaming spear again, throwing it high up.

When the flames faded, he put away the "Sword of Courage" and continued to climb up with the help of collapsed stairs, peeling walls, and broken stone pillars. He jumped repeatedly between them, and sometimes crossed the areas without fulcrums in the posture of a flaming spear.

Soon, the dark church began to shake violently, and some of the already shaky corridors, stairs, walls and stone pillars collapsed and fell downwards.

Seeing that he would be crushed to the bottom by the collapsed building and buried on the spot, Lumian was about to draw out the "Sword of Courage" and cut a gap for escape.

At this moment, he was slightly surprised to find that the broken stones and pillars above his head seemed to have life and moved around him and continued to fall beside him.

In such a dangerous scene, Lumian was unharmed.

He probably guessed that it was the temperance demigod Sharon who provided help, so he didn't waste time and continued to climb upwards, repeating the previous process.

After an unknown amount of time, the violent shaking suddenly stopped.

Lumian did not relax, maintaining his rhythm and speed until he saw a pale green fire appear above his head.

The blazing white flaming spear flew out of the dark cave entrance in the half-collapsed church.

As the flames flew, Lumian's figure appeared instantly, stepping steadily on the broken stone slabs.

Next to a broken wall inlaid with several bone torches, a tall devil with a face that looked like a fusion of a human and a sheep slowly turned his body, dragging his white leg bone.

It was not until this time that Lumian realized that he had not brought out the black bird egg and had not completed the commission of the sheep-faced devil.

He immediately became furious, with evil thoughts rising up in his mind:
“Is this a task I can accomplish?
"You're sending me to my death!

“As expected of the devil’s commission!
"Okay, since the option of completing the mission is no longer available, I only have one choice:

"Kill the client!"

Although he thought so, in reality, Lumian just reached into the "Traveler's Bag" and prepared to draw the "Sword of Courage", without intending to fight right away.

He was worried that the changes brought about by the awakening of the ancient god of death's corpse would spread here, and thought it would be better to leave the depths of the underworld as soon as possible. Moreover, the strength of the sheep-faced devil was unknown.

The sheep-faced devil bent his back and staggered to the front of Lumian.

It stared at Lumian in silence, and suddenly made a hollow and decayed sound.

This time, it was in Dutan:
"You took the egg for yourself!"

Before he finished speaking, the sheep-faced devil straightened his body, which was at least four or five meters tall, and swung the white leg bone in his hand forward, smashing it towards Lumian.
