Unknowingly, pulled by the thread of fate, Allen's consciousness slowly drifted into the mysterious plane hidden in the "Dark Star".
This is a lifeless world.
The sky is a dirty and chaotic dark gray, shrouded in mist, making it difficult to feel the passage of time regardless of day or night.
The ground was completely barren, with only a few sparse shrubs that had withered many years ago, and a swamp filled with a foul smell.
Occasionally, if you lower your head, you can catch a glimpse of several broken skeletons, which adds a bit of a gloomy and dead atmosphere to this plane.
There is no doubt that this mysterious plane has no breath of life.
Maybe it has happened before.
But at this moment, life has long since disappeared.
The entire plane seemed to be completely abandoned, filled with deathly silence and despair.
Allen's consciousness was floating in the air, looking down at this plane that belonged to him.
He doesn't know the origin of this plane, nor does he know what happened here.
But for some reason, when he saw this miserable and dilapidated scene, a sad emotion surged into his heart for no reason, making him sigh uncontrollably.
"No matter what, the fate of this plane is ultimately tied to me," Allen sighed silently in his heart, "After that, we will both prosper and suffer."
…………
Allen didn't know that when he established contact with the mysterious plane in "Dark Star", an earth-shattering event happened in the outside world.
It was a total lunar eclipse that happened suddenly and without warning.
It happened very quickly, without even a step-by-step process, and the blue moon disappeared into the sky out of thin air.
Immediately, the whole world was suddenly shrouded in darkness.
Except for the dimly flickering kerosene lamps on the streets, everything else was dark.
…………
Ariel, the grocery store owner, raised his head involuntarily.
This former guardian knight of the Dark Temple, now a greasy middle-aged otaku, now really felt that the aura of the Dark God's favor in his body was constantly rising.
If it is said that a few minutes ago, when he met Allen, he only vaguely felt signs of recovery from God's favor;
So at this moment, the God of Darkness's divine family became as if boiling, and in a short period of time it returned to half of its peak state.
His heart began to beat rapidly.
As a helpless orphan who was adopted and raised by the Dark Temple, God and faith were once everything in his life.
However, since the "War of the Fall", he had to hide in the small town of Cambridge incognito, pretending to be an ordinary grocery store owner, and wasting away decades of his life like a zombie or in a state of drunkenness and sleep.
The passion of his youth had long since gone silent along with the lost god of darkness.
until today
The unfathomable "Lord Messenger", the sudden total lunar eclipse, and the surging and boiling breath of God's favor deep in his soul made Ariel find the meaning of life once again.
Staring at the dark, lightless sky, two lines of tears smelling of gin flowed down the side of his nose.
He secretly thought to himself: "The Lord Messenger is indeed as described in the "Dark Scripture", with a plan that is unfathomable. It can't be a coincidence that something like this happened as soon as he came here today.
He must have arranged it early.
"Although I don't know what the specific purpose of Lord Messenger is, I believe that he must have a very careful plan to revitalize the Dark Temple.
"We are finally rising again!"
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and finally he couldn't help but take a deep breath and blurt out:
"Praise my Lord, praise the Messenger!"
Then he bent down and picked up the gleaming ax again.
Feeling the reviving divine power in his body, black shadows rose up between his arms and wrapped around the axe, making it look extremely dangerous and daunting.
Ariel knew that if he swung his ax and struck the grocery store table at this moment, the entire table would be instantly reduced to ashes under the influence of God's power.
Although this power is not as strong as when he was at his peak, as long as it exists, it means hope and the possibility of a comeback.
As for whether this hope will turn into despair again...
"What the hell, let's chop the ax first!" Ariel snorted coldly.
…………
at the same time.
In the far north of Braden Kingdom, the last dark temple in the world.
The high priest Delphi stood under the tall pillars of the temple, looking at the endless black sky, with no expression on his face and his eyes seemed particularly empty.
At the moment when the total lunar eclipse occurred, he, like Ariel, felt the divine power of the God of Darkness rising up in his body, rising steadily, surging like a tide.
In addition, as the high priest, he also discovered that the connection with the dark god's will that had been severed many years ago had been re-established.
Although at this moment, this connection is still fragile and may be severed at any time.
But for Delphi, it was enough.
At least, through this weak connection, he can feel the spiritual power belonging to the gods
It was as dark as night and as vast as the sea, as if it would drown him at any moment.
He couldn't help but sincerely admire the power of the gods, and at the same time deeply lamented his own insignificance.
However, at this moment, he faintly heard a gentle sigh coming from the vast darkness.
In this sigh, there is sadness and nostalgia.
It was as if a king returned to his own land after many years, only to find that the land had long been in decline and was in a state of desolation.
"My God...what have you experienced in these years..."
Delphi closed her eyes silently.
He heard the believers shouting excitedly in his ears, celebrating the resurgence of the power of God's favor.
He heard that the few remaining knights in the temple were sharpening their swords and clamoring for a decisive battle with the Church of Light.
He heard the howling of the cold wind in the far north ice field, as if it would set off strong winds and waves across the entire kingdom.
"Everything will be fine," he whispered to himself softly, "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine."
…………
Papal Circle, Cathedral of Light.
When the total lunar eclipse occurred suddenly, His Majesty the Pope, who had just entered the prayer room, hurried out again.
At this moment, he frowned and stared at the dark sky, obviously shocked.
Even Merlins' promotion to legend earlier did not make him so alert.
