Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

What appeared in front of everyone was countless huge steps forming a road leading directly to the Giant King's residence.

On both sides of the road, there are densely populated palaces and towers, as well as giant statues holding halberds and covered with silver armor, guarding the road leading to the residence of the gods.

They seemed to sense that a strange creature had broken into this place, and the silvery-white light on their bodies became very bright, and they all turned to look at Klein and his group.

Hobert turned back to Derrick and the other three and said, "I think you should also have a sense of participation."

Derrick nodded and summoned the "Darknessless Spear". Colin's body was covered with the light of the morning sun, and there was an "Morning Sword" in his hand. Lovia released the several-meter-high sword she had grazed. , an illusory figure wearing full body armor.

The three of them opened the way in front. Hobert "distorted" the sound propagation path and asked in a voice that only he and Klein could hear: "How are you going to deal with this female elder?"

Klein was slightly stunned. He had not considered this issue before, but it was different now. As long as this operation opened the passage between the "Gods Abandoned Land" and the real world, Lovia's problem would be in front of him.

If she were killed, Silver City, which was already full of doubts, might be concerned, but if a believer of the True Creator was placed among the forces of Silver City, he would definitely be very uneasy.

Seeing this, Hobert smiled and said: "If you haven't thought about it well, I will help you deal with it."

Klein immediately said: "Thank you."

The three people in front were fighting fiercely with the statue, while Hobert and Klein in the back were as leisurely as if they were visiting a historical site.

Hobert added: "The missionaries you sent to the South Balam Principality are a bit...how should I put it? I feel that the way they preach is more careful than the 'Rose School'."

To be more precise, the way they preach is a bit sneaky. Hobert heard that the Church of Fool’s preaching methods include but are not limited to secretly establishing mutual aid organizations for believers, always like to pray or offer sacrifices at night, and so on.

Klein was a little dumbfounded: "I have also noticed this, but I hope you can understand it. After all, they have preached like this before."

The missionaries he sent to the South Balam Principality mainly came from the Poseidon Church, the Abraham Family and the "Temperance Sect". These three organizations were all used to being secretive and it was difficult to change their ways for a while.

Hobert added: "However, many people in Highland County and Cologne County do this. After all, the previous preaching methods of the 'Rose School' tended to be rough and bloody. This mysterious preaching method They can accept it too.

“But when it’s time to be upright, we must also have an upright side.”

He paused and then said: "I can help you organize a missionary seminar so that missionaries from the Church of the Fool can communicate with missionaries from the Church of the Mother Goddess of the Earth.

"Well, it's just a missionary exchange."

Currently, the Mother Earth Church has sent a large number of missionaries to the Southern Balang Principality.

However, due to the war in the northern continent, there was no way to send too many extraordinary forces here. There were only one druid team in each of the two county capitals.

The main Extraordinary forces in the South Balam Principality are mainly the official Extraordinaries who serve Hobert.

Hobert is not afraid that the God of War will be suspicious. After all, he has had very close cooperation with the Church of the Mother Earth from a very early time. If the Church of the Mother Earth is not allowed to preach at this time, it will make people suspicious.

But the Church of the Goddess of the Night cannot currently be allowed to preach. Of course, the Church of the Goddess of the Night cannot take care of this at the moment.

Klein nodded: "This is a good opportunity. When I return to the real world, I will organize relevant manpower to learn."

While they were talking about these things, Derrick and three others also arrived at the gate of the Giant King's residence.

Before everyone could see the scene inside the palace, two figures flew out from inside.

One of them has a face covered in shadows, black hair reaching his shoulders, and a pair of illusory black wings growing out of his back. The other is a pure shadow, sometimes twisting left and right.

They are Enuni and the shadow that originally belonged to Klein who were affected by the "Dark Angel" and didn't know what happened.

Klein's shadow took the lead in attacking, firing a series of air cannons at everyone.

A head grew on each side of Enuni's shoulders. After Lovia saw the three heads, her eyes became solidified and her body trembled, as if she felt the aura from an absolutely high-ranking person.

Hobert snapped his fingers, and all the air cannonballs were blocked by a transparent air barrier.

Under the rays of light in mid-air, this scene looked very illusory. Each air cannonball blasted huge "craters" on the air barrier, as if it had exploded air that could not be seen normally.

But Derrick and the others, who were only one step away, could not feel the impact of any explosion.

Hobert looked at the "Shadow", strengthening the "connection" between it and Klein.

Klein immediately felt that his other half's spirit body seemed to be connected to him again, and he quickly followed these "connections" to control the "shadow".

The "shadow" suddenly froze on the steps, as if fighting against Klein's consciousness.

Immediately afterwards, the "Sword of Order" appeared in Hobert's hand. It turned into the shape of a spear and flew towards Enuni.

Just as Enyuni was about to use his ability, he immediately realized the threat of this black spear. His head on the left shoulder was suddenly bathed in sunlight, and his left hand projected a "Darknessless Sword" towards the "Sword of Order". gun".

But the pure white "Lance of Darkness" did not touch the black javelin at all, but was shattered by the "Sword of Order".

At the same time, Enyuni's middle head became illusory, and a black wave surged out from the hall and blocked his face.

The "Sword of Order" continued unabated, "twisting" a hole in the black tide, pinning the affected marionette to the ground.

Hobert sighed: "This guy is almost as strong as a Sequence 2 player."

Enuni tried hard to pull out the spear-shaped "Sword of Order" stuck in his chest, but his hands turned into powder before he touched the "Sword of Order".

Hobert turned to "Shadow" again, using the ability to "exploit", prematurely ending the ability and power base that allowed it to exist.

“Shadow” finally stopped struggling and returned to Klein’s feet.

Klein trembled all over. Although this "shadow" became very cold and a bit depraved, his spirit body became complete again.

Hobert came to Enyuni and asked Klein: "He should be the 'historical pore' you summoned, right?"

Klein came back to his senses and nodded: "Yes."

Hobert pulled out the "Sword of Order" and "tampered" with Enuni's state, returning him to the pores of history. There was only a humanoid black shadow left on the steps, with two human figures growing on the shoulders of the shadow. A head, and black illusory wings.

He raised his hand and cut off the "connection" between the black shadow and the power in the hall inside. The black shadow, head and wings immediately turned into nothing.

In less than ten seconds, Hobert defeated these two difficult opponents.

Derrick and the others thought that there would be a fierce battle today, but they did not expect that the most intense battle so far was the battle with those statues just now. Although it was fierce, it was easy for them.

Klein also lamented: "You solved the problem so easily, making us seem a bit redundant."

Hobert smiled and said: "No, you are a very good audience."

Then he looked in the direction of the main hall, and his expression became solemn: "It won't be so easy next time."

The group of people came to the front of the hall and saw darkness inside the hall.

It was pure darkness that swallowed up all light.

Klein said: "There are certain changes compared to just now. Just now, I could still vaguely see a tall figure sitting inside."

Hobert nodded after looking at it for a while. He felt that the "real vision" could not clearly see the scene inside: "I didn't expect that without the support of main consciousness and extraordinary characteristics, the 'Dark Angel' would still have such a powerful power, huh ,wrong……"

He suddenly thought that in the case of a real Creator, the "Dark Angel" could only have some symbolic meaning.

The reason why the "Dark Angel" has shown such a powerful power now should be related to the "Sea of ​​Chaos".

In Hobert's impression, even the avatar of the ancient Sun God still has the consciousness of the "Dark Angel" remaining. Although that ray of consciousness is in a dormant state, it has been enough for him to use the "Profane Slate" for thousands of years to escape from the "Dark Angel". "Sea of ​​Chaos" gains a lot of power.

Thinking of this, Hobert said: "Don't use any abilities such as clones and historical projections."

He said to Lovia: “You also don’t want to graze.

"There is a very strong power of 'corruption' here, and any clone may betray, even betrayal can occur between companions.

“When you feel you have dangerous thoughts, sound the warning immediately!”

Everyone nodded.

"Of course, the best way is for me to go in and explore by myself, but you definitely don't want to just wait here." Hobert spoke and was the first to step into the darkness.

Colin, Derrick and Lovia followed closely with firm eyes. As Hobert said, hope is right in front of them and they are not willing to wait here.

As for Klein's body, because the seeds of "corruption" were planted by the True Creator, it could only be released after seeing the "Dark Angel". So he walked at the end, reached out and squeezed the potion prepared in advance in his pocket, and Followed.

After entering the dark hall, Hobert immediately realized that it was not as dangerous as he saw outside.

This feeling was very familiar to Him, and He joked to himself in his heart: It was very much like the "Creator" and the "Fool" in a period of time, only empty frames that looked scary.

The group of people kept a close distance, and their vision was not completely swallowed up by the darkness. They could not see anything more than 5 meters away.

The ground is made up of gray and white stone bricks solidified like dusk, without any extraordinary power.

Hobert, who was walking at the front, suddenly said "Hey", and a thin protective shield composed of the power of the "State of Disorder" immediately appeared around them.

Immediately afterwards, a part of the darkness in everyone's field of vision seemed to become more intense, and it was difficult to see it if one did not observe carefully.

The darkness seemed to feel that the shield was unbreakable, so it disappeared in front of everyone, and the darkness returned to its original concentration.

Hobert thought about it for a moment, but said nothing and continued walking deeper into the hall.

After more than ten minutes of exploration, they came to the depths of the hall, where there were layers of huge steps on a high platform. The throne on the high platform was empty, with nothing!

This made everyone's eyes freeze. The "Dark Angel" woke up... and left?

Hobert always felt that something was wrong. He thought about it for a while and then said: "If you want to see the most important 'Dark Angel' here, you must weaken yourself."

As he spoke, he used his "weakening" ability on himself, making himself only at the Sequence 3 level in the next few seconds.

Immediately afterwards, Hobert lifted the shield composed of the "Power of Order": "Ha, that 'Black Knight' is indeed the first."

Derrick and others were stunned, but they suddenly discovered that Lovia, who had been so close just now, was gone.

The most surprised person was Klein. He was obviously at the end, but he didn't even notice when Lovia disappeared.

Everyone didn't understand what was going on, and while everyone was observing the surroundings carefully, Hobert continued: "Let me help it."

As He spoke, He "magnified" the surrounding darkness.

At this moment, everyone discovered that the darkness around them was like the darkness that suddenly became rich just now, and the color suddenly became much darker.

A seemingly thick darkness surged toward everyone. Before everyone could escape, everything in front of them had changed. The surroundings were no longer dark, but became gray.

The surrounding walls and huge stone pillars were clearly visible, but they seemed to be cast by a thin layer of shadow.

There was no sun, no moon, and no stars outside the window, but a shallow light shone in.

Lovia, who disappeared first, was already here observing the surrounding environment.

Everyone felt something spiritual almost at the same time, and turned their heads to look at the iron-black throne deep in the palace, located at the top of the steps.

On the throne, sat a man with black hair reaching his shoulders, whose appearance could not be seen clearly. There were layers of black wings on his back, and his robes were engraved with complex patterns.

At this time, the man's left elbow was resting on the armrest of the throne, and his palm was resting on the side of his face, as if he was sleeping.

Just by taking a glance at Derrick and others, thoughts such as "sacred" and "not offensive" flashed through their minds. Only Hobert was not affected.

Immediately afterwards, everyone understood clearly that this sleeping man, who was about the same height as a giant, was the left hand of God, the deputy king of heaven, the "Dark Angel" Sasril.

Lovia once again clearly felt the oppression from the high-ranking person, and this time the pressure was stronger, just like when her prayers to the "True Creator" were answered, it made her body tremble.

Hobert has regained the level of Sequence 1. He is trying to contact the "Country of Disorder". His current situation is similar to that in the "Spiritual Barrier" of the "Bound God", and it seems to be different from the "Country of Disorder". "country" has lost contact.

But because he is now Sequence 1, he can not only mobilize the power of the "Country of Disorder", but also take sealed objects from it.

However, the process of taking out the sealed object was very slow. It took about 2 seconds to take out the "Sun Scepter".

Klein on the side also said: "I can't feel the existence of historical holes."

It's not just that he can't feel the existence of the historical pore, because his sequence is relatively low and he is almost completely disconnected from Origin Castle.

"Don't be too alarmed. Although the power here is very high, I can distort it." Hobert said: "Let's continue moving forward and see if we can find any clues to get out."

From where they were, they couldn't see the black iron-colored throne clearly, and Hobert didn't see the "blasphemous slate" that he was thinking about.

Klein was about to propose that Lovia use a grazing soul to test it out first, but Hobert had already taken the lead, walking towards the throne with the "Sun Scepter" in hand.

So Klein quickly followed suit.

At this time, Hobert suddenly realized something was wrong. It turned out that his memory of this exploration seemed a bit vague. He only remembered that the door to the outside world was behind the throne, and he only remembered that the "Desecrated Slate" was near the throne.

This is not difficult to understand. After all, both the "Dark Angel" and the "Profane Slate" at this time have high status. It is completely normal for Him to lose some memories about them.

Arriving in front of the huge steps designed for giants, Hobert felt a strong "degenerate" atmosphere on the steps. The next second, a black wave spread under his feet.

That is the ability to "fall" at the Sequence 1 level.

The "fallen" aura on the steps was blinded by the "fallen" ability exuded by Hobert, and stopped approaching them.

The black wave under the feet of Hobert and others became like molluscs, carrying everyone forward. The "degenerate" aura around them thought they were "the same kind" and never came to "disturb" them.

When they were halfway there, cracks opened up in the surrounding walls, pillars, and masonry, and brass-colored eyes grew out one after another.

Hobert's first thought: Do these eyes represent the god of knowledge and wisdom? After all, the key to this hall was obtained from the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.

But then, His spirit felt the danger, so He raised his hand and "twisted" it, turning the extraordinary attack coming towards them towards a stone pillar.

The stone pillar suddenly lost its gray-white color, and then the dusk color inside also faded, turning into a stone pillar with obvious signs of corrosion.

Click~

The stone pillar broke in the middle and fell to the ground.

This is the "reader's" "insight" ability, which can see through all extraordinary things and make the extraordinary invalid through the analysis of abilities.

All the brass-colored eyes suddenly swayed together, and a very ethereal voice came out: "The breath of the 'State of Disorder'..."

Those eyes looked at Klein again: "The aura of 'Origin Castle'."

After hearing "Origin Castle", Colin seemed to remember something, and his eyes were somewhat enlightened.

At this time, Klein suddenly understood: You must have the "Essence" to get a response here, or to get close to Sasril. No wonder the true creator forced me to enter even though he has Lovia, a demigod believer in the Silver City. Palace, meet the "Dark Angel".

At this time, the brass eyes spoke again: "You two have a very strange destiny. You have contacts with Amanissis, Adam, Amon, Medici, and of course, Him."

The three demigods in Silver City were all familiar with these names. They were slightly stunned. They didn't expect that these two helpers had interacted with so many existences beyond Sequence 1.

But when they thought of Hobert's power, it all seemed reasonable.

Seeing that Hobert was thoughtful, Klein asked, "Him?"

Brass Eyes: "He is another me..."

Hobert suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: I thought you meant "Tianzun".

Klein and Derrick also understood that what the brass eyes were talking about was the true Creator.

Aren’t they all connected to the True Creator? Both Hobert and Klein have clashed with the forces of the True Creator more than once.

Especially Hobert, after his strength and influence became strong enough, he directly beat the Aurora Society into oblivion.

At this time, Hobert said: "I heard that you slept for a long time and then woke up from the 'Sea of ​​Chaos'?"

The brass eyes did not answer directly, but said: "I can see more things than you think, for example, the parts of you two that are incompatible with your destiny."

Hobert and Klein were both stunned. The other person seemed to be saying: I can see that you are time travellers!

The ethereal voice said again: "As you have received, I did wake up after sleeping for a long time."

Hobert asked again: "I have a question. As a scientific researcher, why do you wear a cross with you?"

"At first it was to ward off evil spirits..."

Hobert twitched the corner of his mouth: "Pi...it's nothing, just keep talking."

Brass-colored eyes: "It was later discovered that this was the original intention, including the crosses related to me in the second and third eras, which were all manifesting His existence by the original."

At this time, Derrick and the other three demigods from Silver City realized one after another that they were talking to the "Dark Angel". The expressions on their faces were very complicated, with surprise mixed with confusion and confusion.

Especially Derrick, he knew that this was actually the same as talking to the "all-knowing and all-powerful Lord".

Hobert nodded slowly: "So, you were influenced by the 'original' very early on?"

The brass eyes seemed to have some human emotions: "Yes, I noticed this problem not long after I walked out of the 'Sea of ​​Chaos'.

"So I merged the authority of 'Fallen' with the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Hanged Man' path, and created another self. The function is to control the 'Sea of ​​Chaos' and isolate it from the main body..."

The description of this ethereal voice is quite different from the information Hobert told before.

After the other party finished talking about his failed actions against the original, he said: "You don't seem to be surprised by this?"

Colin and Lovia were obviously very surprised, but these brass eyes seemed to only care about Hobert and Klein.

"Nothing is surprising." Hobert smiled and said: "I am an Extraordinary of the 'Lawyer' path, and the 'Original' cannot be resurrected in my body. I only need to be careful about the 'Original' consciousness."

"No, your understanding of the original, original, and mysterious is wrong!" Miao Miao's voice said seriously: "When the 'original' is sleeping, the original and mysterious can exert an influence on any of the 22 extraordinary paths.

"As far as I know, the mystery has left its mark on the promotion ceremony of the 'Black Emperor' and the 'Judge'. When you become a true god, His will can initially awaken in your body."

"Holy shit!" Hobert finally knew that this was Tianzun's arrangement!
