The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

Xue Dinglu looked up and asked the question; it was the First Apostle who was asking him.

The black mist figure, resembling a king, stood beside the Lord of Mist, its terrifying pressure seemingly about to erupt.

Previously, Xue Lude could not sense the source of authority within him at all, but now, Xue Lude could even faintly feel His authority...

That is the same primordial authority as the evil god in the subspace, which grows and intertwines with the earth like tree roots.

It is life...

Thanks to Hassan's exploration of the end of the warp, he was able to learn about the abilities of many of the Apostles through the evil gods there, and this information was invaluable to him.

Perhaps the divine tree originated from that root-like evil god, and what it entwined tightly might have been the Venerable King... or perhaps some other evil god.

Now that the first entity is asking Xue's Law, he knows he might be a suspect. However, he had only told Number 10 that he was the Apostle of Nothingness. But now, it seems that Number 10 did not leak his information.

As Xue Luding thought this, he glanced at Number 10, who was just slightly bowing her head, seemingly intimidated by the imposing aura.

"Immortality, I have mastered the power of immortality," Xue Dinglu said tentatively.

The next instant, the power originating from immortality erupted within him. Even though this immortal authority was very weak in Xue Luding, so weak that it seemed as if he had just grasped it, the power brought by that immortal evil god instantly offset the pressure of the First Apostle.

They are equal in rank, differing only in quantity.

"Immortal? Then return to your place." The First Apostle withdrew his oppressive aura and then let Xue Luding return to his rightful position.

The same questions were asked to the next two candidates, No. 7 and No. 11, and Xue's Law thus learned about the source of their power.

Number 11's authority is "Power," or it can be directly called "Powder," which is the purest authority for combat.

Number 7 has a weak authority; although its sequence is higher than Number 8's, its power is even weaker, and its name is "Fear".

The fact that neither of these two authorities could find a corresponding evil god in the warp suggests that these two authorities are not as powerful as imagined, so they either did not encounter the evil gods in the warp, or they encountered them but simply ignored them.

Therefore, it seems that after all the apostles had arrived, the Lord of the Mist said directly: "Let's have some free time for this meeting. After the meeting, the top six apostles can stay."

Same as last time.

Perhaps because of the deaths of several apostles, the other apostles no longer have the same atmosphere of speaking freely as before.

Therefore, Xue's Law no longer even huddled together with No. 10 for warmth, but instead turned to the Mimic King, whose soul was merged with his own.

"How's it going? Have you located the position? I'm feeling a lot of pressure. I killed all those missing apostles. Now I feel like everyone is suspecting me?"

"Don't worry, it'll be soon, it'll be soon... I'll find the location here soon..." The words transmitted back by the Mimic King had no credibility whatsoever; instead, He looked as if He was drenched in sweat.

"No way, I can't trust you at all, can I..." Xue Dinglu complained.

“I have found the corresponding subspace region, but it is located deep within the subspace. There are no landmarks or light here. Even for me, even if I don’t get lost, finding the Mist Council here is as difficult as finding a trident in the deep sea with no visibility.”

"Give me a little more time..."

The Mimic King seemed genuinely drenched in sweat, and at the same time, he was extremely frustrated. Who exactly was this Lord of the Mist? Why did all of His techniques ultimately feel like they were targeting him?

And how did He acquire so many bizarre skills?

Even as He surveyed all the apostles present, though He couldn't reveal Himself before His true form found the coordinates, He discovered that these apostles were simply a multitude of immortals. If He didn't know that this was the Council of the Mist, the Mimic King would have felt as if he had once again arrived at the edge of the warp and encountered those warp evil gods.

“The apostles seem like incarnations of evil gods from the Warp…” said the Mimic King.

"Perhaps the answer lies in the riddle itself: the apostles...they themselves were a group of 'disciples'!"

Xue's Law even started spouting nonsense.

Although he didn't know how his cultural reference would be translated into the language module, Xue Law did indeed guess that each of these apostles corresponded to a warp god.

The First Apostle corresponds to the entwined tree roots.

The fourth apostle corresponds to the ever-changing jellyfish.

The Sixth Apostle corresponds to those split swarms of insects.

The Eighth Apostle corresponds to an immortal monster.

The Ninth Apostle should correspond to that giant mouth that keeps devouring.

This is the information he knows for the time being. He doesn't know what kind of authority the other apostles at the forefront possess, so he can't make corresponding arrangements. As for the 7th, 10th, and 11th apostles, he can't find their corresponding arrangements for the time being either.

But there is a King at the end of the subspace, so who is corresponding to the King?

me?

Based on this corresponding method, Xue's law felt an extremely strong sense of familiarity, which was the ritual categorized as "ritual".

The principle of ritual is to achieve a specific result through reflection and correspondence.

Just as any double-structured tower could be destroyed on September 11th, all it takes is a convertible, a president, and an assassin to easily kill a former president; all it takes is a former prime minister, a speech, and a homemade double-barreled gun to kill him; Zeus only needs to collect the Seven-Day Oath to become the consciousness of Earth…

If a similar environment is achieved, resulting in the exact same desired outcome, this is called a "ritual".

So, is the Lord of the Mist performing some kind of massive ritual?

Even in this ceremony, the 13 apostles were merely sacrifices.

A multitude of ideas flashed through Xue Lude's mind in an instant, but all of this required the Mimicry King to find this place before he could turn against him and find a way to take down all the existing apostles in one fell swoop.

However, after more than an hour, the Lord of the Mist said directly: "The energy tide has subsided, this meeting is adjourned."

Xue's Law: "???"

Mimic King, I'm waiting for you at the Mist Council. Where are you?

Mimic King: "I don't know!"

He was still trying to unravel the concealment set up by the Lord of the Mist, as if trying to retrieve that trident from the deep sea of ​​the Warp.

But even now, after the meeting has ended, he's still trying to make money...

Xue Lude woke up in the Starship Corps' private room and looked at the Mimic King with a blank expression.

“I’ve really been searching hard, but believe me, there’s something wrong with that Lord of the Mist. He seems to know me extremely well, and also knows the Warp very well. He knows where my location is the hardest to find. This is very strange!”

Xue Dinglu fell silent. He slowly said, "Is it possible that the Lord of the Mist planted a mole in the Starfleet, and that the mole was of a very high rank and knew your information?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Even the captains don't know anything about me. I am the leader of the Star Squadron!" the Mimic King replied directly.

Xue almost blurted out, "You'll regret this," but he held back.

“Unless they are members of the interstellar brigade that created me, but they are all living in my sanctuary in retirement, they could never be apostle spies, because I can know and do everything within my body,” the Mimic King continued.

“You wouldn’t understand even if I explained. There are many problems involved. But the good news is that I’ve located the location. During the next meeting, I can launch a surprise attack there directly in my true form.” The Mimic King finally revealed some good news.

"Don't crash," Xue Dinglu warned.

"Don't worry, I am the strongest." The Mimic King said directly, "Even the illusory body can escape. As long as we are in the real universe, the Apostles combined are not enough to defeat me."

Xue's Law: "..."

He suddenly felt that this mimicking king was like an old general on a theatrical stage, with flags planted all around him.

In the end, all that could be said was a few words of advice, and Xue's Law stopped dwelling on the matter.

"By the way, the fragment that has merged into your soul, let it stay with you for now. You can borrow its power under any circumstances, and I will do my best to protect you, at least until you have successfully digested Hassan's legacy and are able to fully take over the masquerade." The voice of the Mimic King rang out.

Xue Lude was momentarily stunned. The Mimic King merged part of himself with the Mimic King, like a personal old man...

Although he disliked the Mimic King's actions just now, if the Mimic King were really by his side as his personal assistant, Xue Lude would instantly dare to PK with the First Apostle, Huang Cheng.

Even if it's just a small fragment of the Mimic King, it's still top-tier power among Apostles.

but……

"Why?" Xue asked rhetorically.

There's no need for the Mimic King to be so considerate of himself. Before this, it was all reasonable to grant him authority under the pretext of taking care of the Great Sage's disciple.

But this time, the fragments really baffled Xue Dinglu.

"This is what Hassan entrusted to me. He helped explore the warp, and I am responsible for taking care of the masquerade, especially you. Until you can stand on your own, I will give you the greatest support without affecting my main body."

Chapter 439 Fragments of the King on Earth

Xue Law always felt that this guy was tired of living and wanted to go back to the Warp to find his evil god Old Deng.

Ever since he discovered that the evil god in the subspace was the Venerable King himself, this simulated Venerable King has become increasingly strange. Now, he not only plants flags all over himself, but also seems to be entrusting his son to someone else.

"Let me remind you, you might be stronger than the other apostles in terms of stats, but the apostles all have both stats and mechanics online, and even that Lord of the Mist... I can't say for sure. He established the Mist Council, seemingly with the intention of a ritual that covers the entire universe. We, who have no information about Him, will definitely suffer a great loss..."

"Besides, you're not invincible. There will always be ways to limit you. Don't crash and burn, or I'll have to keep collecting fragments to help you revive..." Xue Dinglu complained.

Like the Mimic King, who has flags planted all over his back, although he seems very strong now, he could even be said to be the strongest in the universe after eliminating those warp evil gods.

However, it's hard to say whether the Lord of the Mist has any major tricks up his sleeve. He has always preferred intelligence warfare, which is not really a battle of wits. He wins by finding weaknesses through intelligence and using his intelligence advantage to kill others when they are caught off guard. Therefore, he is exceptionally sensitive to intelligence.

Especially the current Mimic King, who is very similar to those guys who were killed by their own lack of information.

This guy who blurted out that he was the strongest made Xue Dinglu a little nervous...

"Don't worry, don't nag like an old woman, I'm..."

"Alright, alright, I know you're the strongest, I was just telling you not to be reckless..." In the end, Xue Dinglu felt that his reminder had just gone in one ear and out the other.

He always felt that the Mimic King was like some guy who had become a 2.5 version of himself, invincible for too long, so long that he had forgotten what danger was. Even at the end of the warp, he only said that apart from the Void and the King, other evil gods were at most evenly matched with him.

I've reminded him countless times, hoping he'll be a little more cautious, like when he went into the end of the subspace, he should explore first before charging in.

Xue Law silently complained about Him in his mind.

“I heard all your complaints…” the fragment of the Mimic King replied. “Although you seem quite sunny and cheerful on the surface, you’re actually a repressed rant who loves to make sarcastic remarks…”

Xue's Law: "..."

Holy crap, you can even read minds! How can you be so selfish, just like the Great Sage?! All you ever think about is yourself!

Xue immediately placed countless seals on his thoughts and consciousness. Fearing that it might not be safe, he even used the Immortal Authority as a trigger for the seals. Although he didn't expect this thing to be able to stop the Mimic King's mind-reading ability, he just needed to be notified when the Mimic King was reading his mind.

This thing can only keep out honest people, not scoundrels.

The Mimic King didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to probe Xue Lude's mind. After all, there was still a huge bomb inside Xue Lude. At most, He could only guess what he was thinking by combining facial expressions with simple surface brainwaves. He wouldn't delve deeper. No one would be so idle as to provoke the Void.

This thing is essentially a tear in the outer universe, and such a huge void in the universe can only be patched up by a special "cosmic needle".

The relationship between the two then fell into this strange calm.

Even the relationship between the Mimic King and Xue's Law is not one of residing in the space of consciousness, but rather one of being integrated with Xue's Law. To put it more simply, it is similar to that of a Stand user and a spirit behind him.

So this doesn't affect Su Su, who is playing on her phone in the dorm at this time.
