Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 642: Demon King? Human?
"Network connected."

"You have a new notification, please check it."

Two lines of text were displayed on the phone.

Shen Ye looked at the two lines of words and then looked around.

It's really confusing——

now.

He was not in the endless rain of swords.

Valhalla was not in front of him either.

There are tall buildings all around, and the streets are busy with cars and people.

The sun is shining brightly.

——This is the human world.

why?
Could it be that Valhalla used some magic to send herself to the human world?

Shen Ye clicked on the notification on his phone.

"We are aware of your plan and admire it. Please come to the church at the end of the road ahead to chat."

——It shouldn’t be Valhalla.

After all, the wifi provider is the "omniscient and omnipotent Lord", and the message may have been sent by him.

Shen Ye walked to the end of the road.

I saw that there was indeed a white church here.

The church door was open.

There was no one inside.

Under the arched dome, stone pillars stand solemnly in rows.

The light shines through the stained glass windows, reflecting brilliant colors, and the faint sound of hymns soothes people's hearts.

An old man in a white robe was sitting on a bench, waving over here.

Shen Ye pointed at himself.

The old man nodded.

Shen Ye walked in, came to the old man, and said:

"I wonder what your name is?"

"I provided you with the internet, kid," the old man said kindly.

Shen Ye's heart was shocked, and he immediately bowed and said:
"Thank you, Your Excellency. I didn't expect you to come here in person."

"It doesn't matter - in fact, you did me a great favor and I should thank you instead," said the old man.

Shen Ye looked puzzled.

The old man waved his hand and said, "At the time of Genesis, I decided everything, and I knew that the final era in the future would usher in the emergence of laws."

"That is to say, I knew everything when it started from scratch."

"Since you knew it, why didn't you stop it earlier--" Shen Ye said.

The old man interrupted him and said:
“I’m not going to stop it from happening.”

"It's like when you throw a stone to skip on the water, your will is to 'throw it' and 'see how many skips it can make', not to 'stop it from being thrown'."

"Likewise, when God throws stones, He is not inconsistent."

Shen Ye shrugged.

——The gods will never admit their mistakes, right?

"But you still did me a favor," said the old man.

"I don't understand." Shen Ye said.

"The power of strange life is beyond imagination. Their masters have sensed my existence and used all their strange power to imitate me."

"—This is Valhalla."

The old man said.

"Valhalla is a strange life!" Shen Ye blurted out.

"That's right. It was created to replace me."

"Did it succeed?" Shen Ye asked.

"I haven't taken any action yet, what do you think?"

"Why don't you take action?" Shen Ye asked.

"Because I only play high-end games." The old man's tone was as deep as the sea.

Shen Ye was stunned and looked at the old man in front of him.

High-end game——

Did you call?

Where did you fight?

——That sword rain is not yours, right?

And this time it's me fighting Valhalla to the death.

You provide a wifi.

There is also a fee.

But the old man continued to speak seriously:
"Valhalla is trapped in a rain of swords, and its fate is uncertain, so I pulled you over here to reward you and give you some pointers."

"I'm all ears." Shen Ye said.

The old man looked serious and said:

"The identity of 'Valhalla' is made up of many extremely powerful Creations of Truth."

"If you succeed—"

"You will become an existence coveted by many strange lives."

"What do you covet from me?" Shen Ye asked.

"Tear down your creations of truth and fulfill their strange identities." said the old man.

Now Shen Ye understood.

——For example, after she defeated the umbrella demon, Annie ate the black umbrella.

just now.

Annie is now able to grant "strange powers" to individual entities.

If I win Valhalla.

Countless strange people would like to obtain the "legacy" of Valhalla from themselves.

The old man continued:

"Should I continue to use strange powers as a human? Or should I completely transform into a strange life and work for the strange camp?"

“That’s the most important question.”

"I can't see any difference here." Shen Ye said truthfully.

"Eververse is humanity's mission. If you succeed and decide to work for the Weird Faction, Eververse will be completely over."

"—Because you are the last human to receive this mission."

"What will be the consequences?" Shen Ye asked.

"Humanity has lost its mission and is heading for complete destruction - and with my help, you will become an extremely powerful being among the strange."

"If you continue to exist as a human being, all strange creatures will come to attack you."

"They don't allow you, the defender of the 'old order', to possess such a powerful and strange power."

“Make your decision right here.”

"——I will only help you this time, no matter what path you choose."

The old man said.

Shen Ye was silent for a few breaths, then said:

“I will continue to move forward with Eververse, instead of becoming a strange being.”

"Have you decided?" asked the old man.

"Yes." Shen Ye said.

"But why?" the old man demanded.

"It's funny, but there's one flavor of instant noodles that I buy every time I go to the supermarket."

“I really like iced drinks and ham sausage when I eat noodles.”

"If humans become extinct, we will never be able to eat food like this again."

"Just for this?" the old man couldn't help but ask loudly.

"Eating instant noodles is more interesting than eating people." Shen Ye said.

"No other reason?"

"There are some things that I don't know if they are worth talking about."

"tell me the story."

"I like to read novels, such as "The End of All Worlds Online"; I also like to stare at the sky, raise some cats and dogs, and take walks with them."

"——'Humanity' is my anchor point. I am happy to exist like this."

The old man looked at him deeply, his expression relaxed, and said in a complaining tone:
"I thought you would perform very well in such a solemn and serious matter."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you." Shen Ye said.

"Well, then you can just be a mortal. Goodbye," said the old man.

"I have a question too." Shen Ye said.

"You ask."

"You are the omniscient and omnipotent Lord. Logically, you should know what I want to say. Why are you asking me?"

The old man said solemnly:

"It's like 'love', you have to say it out loud yourself."

This time it was Shen Ye's turn to glare at the old man in front of him.

"What you say is the 'Dharma', it represents your will and is the 'cause' of your actions - if you don't even dare to say it, then it means nothing."

The old man imitated him and spread his hands.

"understood."

"Well, go ahead. In today's battle, whether you win or lose, I will cover for you."

"Thank you."

Shen Ye gradually disappeared.

The old man was alone in the church.

He was silent for a few breaths, and suddenly took out a bowl of steaming instant noodles, a cup of iced drink and a sausage from the void.

“Is it really that delicious?”

He murmured, dispersing all the holy light on his body.

As a mortal——

He was ready to try.

……

the other side.

A rain of swords fell, covering the sky and the sun.

Shen Ye suddenly came back to his senses.

In the brief pause of everything, he looked at Valhalla across from him.

Look at the look of fear on its face, the seals formed by its hands, the huge Dharma image that appeared behind it, and the changing space around it.

——It plans to give it a try, and if it fails, it will run away.

but.

This is the sword rain of the Lord of Destruction.

Nothing was effective except his swordsmanship.

Perhaps this strange life form that imitates the "Omniscient and Omnipotent Lord" can withstand this sword?
do not know.

We can only take one step at a time!
Shen Ye wielded the Luoshen Sword and performed the destructive sword technique.

Moment.

The whole world started moving again. "Block!"

Valhalla yelled.

A golden round shield appeared above his head, blocking the endless rain of swords.

Ding ding ding ding——

The round shield held up!
However, a sneer suddenly sounded in the void.

Followed by.

A voice as heavy as a mountain sounded:

"What kind of sacred profession are you playing if you don't have money? I'm coming in."

I saw an ancient long sword piercing through the golden round shield and falling on Valhalla's head.

——It wants to kill Valhalla!
Shen Ye's pupils shrank suddenly.

opportunity.

Golden opportunity!

Between the lightning and flint.

An invisible wave emanated from the void.

Valhalla was pulled by an extremely strong force and suddenly sank into the void and disappeared!
The sword flew straight to Shen Ye and shouted:
"Your ability is extremely rare, so why did you use it to save it?"

"Sorry." Shen Ye apologized.

same moment.

the other side.

A place of exile.

A duck formed a seal and shouted:
"Come back! Valhalla!"

call--

Valhalla appeared from the void and fell to the ground.

"You saved me?"

It asked uncertainly, even a little incredulously.

"You don't want to? Forget it." The duck-wing seal changed again.

The technique has been disbanded!
All of a sudden.

The exile disappeared along with the duck.

Valhalla returned to the world of memories shrouded by endless sword rain.

Only lines of tiny words flickered:

"You used the gate ability 'Exile' to save Valhalla from a life-or-death situation."

"You dissolved the power and let it go."

"Congratulations."

"You have obtained the door to the memory world where it is located, and obtained the corresponding 'Transformation Card'."

A card was quietly born, suspended in the darkness.

Valhalla appears on the front of the card, with his eyes closed and a solemn expression, like a god descending from heaven.

Transformation card!

——This is the true value of the “place of exile”!
A glimmer of light appears next to the card:

"The Demon King of the End, Valhalla."

"ID tag."

“Description: When you use this card, you gain all the knowledge, experience, and identity of ‘Valhalla’, and can exist in the world as it.”

"——If you don't obtain the truth creature that supports its identity, then you can only have its general identity, not its strange identity."

The card flashed and disappeared into darkness.

Memory world.

The rain of swords continued to fall.

this moment.

Shen Ye had just started talking to the long sword——

Changjian shouted:

"Your ability is an extremely rare fusion of weirdness and destruction. Why use it to save it?"

"I'm sorry," Shen Ye apologized, "I'll give it back to you."

Swish!
Valhalla appeared under the blade of the longsword.

The long sword slashed along with the momentum, then soared into the sky and disappeared in an instant.

Shen Ye raised the sword, and while making sword gestures, he looked at the corpse on the ground.

The end of the demon king Valhalla.

In front of the sword, he had no power to resist and was cut into two pieces by the sword.

——Even the soul is wiped out.

Something magical happened!

A card suddenly appeared in Shen Ye's hand.

He shook the card, and his whole body transformed into Valhalla!
With all the memories and knowledge of Valhalla——

"bring it on."

Shen Ye whispered.

Five creatures emitting strange light quietly emerged from the corpse, and each of them exuded an extremely powerful and strange power!

——Creator of truth!

This is what makes up Valhalla’s strange identity!
After Valhalla's death, Valhalla summoned several creatures of truth.

Look at them.

Shen Ye understood the whole thing at once.

Yes.

This is truly a moment of decision.

With these five creations of truth and everything in Valhalla, he could easily become the "Devil of the End" in one leap!
In terms of strength, this is an unparalleled leap!

——Is it to go with the flow and become a powerful and strange life?
Or continue to remain human?

The stakes are high!

No wonder the "omniscient and omnipotent" God wanted to communicate and discuss with me in advance.

I also made my choice in advance.

So what you should do now is -

"It's more interesting to be a human being."

Shen Ye said.

The entry "Mandala Ouroboros" is activated!
Infinite strange and bizarre power emerged from the five creations of truth and flowed towards the Dharma image behind him.

These creatures of truth sensed something was wrong and immediately began to resist.

pity--

This is the world of Sword Rain!

They were chopped to the ground by the endless rain of swords, their bodies turned into pieces, and only their strength was continuously absorbed by Shen Ye.

"Shen Ye," Chatelaine's delighted voice sounded, "In which direction do you want me to evolve?"

"As long as you are happy, I don't have any requirements." Shen Ye said.

"Good," said Chatelet.

In the void.

Small words appeared frantically in the dim light:
"You used the term 'Mandala Ouroboros' to draw the power of five truth creations and infuse them into the truth creation that constitutes your identity:"

"Multi-layered universe."

"Congratulations."

"The strength of the multi-layer universe is constantly increasing."

“Your identity is made up of her, and therefore your weird identity is enhanced.”

"—but you still remain human."

"Please note."

"The current memory fragment is completely destroyed, and your camp will be forced to change to:"

"The old order."

"——The cover from the 'Almighty and Omniscient Lord'."

Moment.

The sword rain, monsters, creatures of truth and corpses all disappeared.

Everything before my eyes shattered like a dream.

Shen Ye found himself returning to the historical fragments of the "Spirit and Gods Society".

desert.

He stood in the desert and looked at the corpses on the ground.

The mother was holding the little girl's body, which was still covered in mud and sand, like silent plaster.

"Chen Ye."

Chateli whispered.

"what?"

"You let me evolve according to my own wishes."

"Correct."

"Now please say a word—"

She whispered softly in Shen Ye's ear.

Shen Ye's eyes moved, and his gaze fell on the ground again, looking at the body of the little girl.

Following Chatelet's instructions, he said:

"Resurrection."

The words fell.

Endless holy white light burst out from the little girl's body, rushed up to the sky, and disappeared in a flash.

All the filth and death from the little girl disappeared.

She opened her eyes.

"God...are you the one who called me up from hell and spoke to me?"

She looked at Shen Ye and asked timidly.

"That's a good guess."

Shen Ye said with a smile.

"I won't let you die, so you have to live well."

Some people don't have to be resurrected.

But innocent people should not be included.

He was about to revive the little girl's mother when the old man's voice suddenly rang in his ears:

"No one knows what's going on here right now, but you have to remember that once the strange life forms find out that you, a human, have such a high-level strange identity and power..."

"They will keep coming after you."

"Don't be careless. Unfold the Eververse. Perhaps you can find a way to deal with it."

"Thank you very much." Shen Ye said.

"No need, and the instant noodles are too spicy."

"You can use half the sauce packet, so it won't be spicy."

"I see."
