(I forgot in the previous chapter, [The Glory of Italos] is also one of the must-replace items, worth 500 points, so I’ll make up for it here.)
Seeing the black shadow emerging, Lando's heart jumped inexplicably, and then he immediately asked respectfully: "I wonder what you call me, senior?"
Black Shadow seemed to be stunned by Lando's question. After a long silence, he said: "My name is lost. I don't have a name at the moment, and I can't have one. You can call me whatever you want!"
Lando:?!
Lost your name? What the hell is this state?!
Seeing that the black shadow was in this situation, Lando did not dare to mention it anymore and changed the subject: "Senior, do you know the origin of the 'soul weapon system'?"
Heiying seemed to break free from a certain emotion and chuckled: "Of course, not only do I know it, I'm also very familiar with it!"
Lando saluted respectfully and asked, "Senior, please let me know."
Heiying continued to laugh and said: "Then let me tell you, you owe me a favor and you have to do me a favor in the future!"
"cough!"
Edison Cornet, the seventh arcane emperor on the throne, coughed dryly. He seemed to feel that "this thing" had disgraced their seniors, so he turned his head slightly and closed his eyes to concentrate.
But the black shadow didn't seem to take it seriously, instead giving people a feeling of complacency.
Lando responded with some astonishment: "Yes, senior, just think that I owe you a favor. As long as I can do my best and it does not violate the principles in my heart, I will naturally be happy to help."
The black shadow smiled and said: "Interesting little guy, he has a similar personality to my son. Even when he talks, he has to be as flawless as possible. But don't worry, although every arcanist is constantly trying to break the law of equal exchange,
But equal exchange is indeed a rule that every arcanist should abide by. Since I want your help, I will naturally give you enough benefits!"
Gives enough benefit?!
These words flashed through Lando's mind like lightning, and he blurted out in surprise: "It's you?!"
Heiying nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Finally understand? It seems you are not too stupid!"
At this moment, Lando realized a lot, but at the same time, many questions began to arise, but those can be asked later. The most important thing now is to know the origin of the 'soul weapon system'.
Seeing that Lando understood what he meant, Black Shadow immediately began to answer Lando's previous questions. He said, "You should be very clear about the history of the rise of the Arcane Empire."
Lando nodded. This period of history is of great significance to arcanists and deserves to be remembered by every arcanist.
The black shadow continued: "In the epic records, the first arcane emperor Caesar overcame obstacles, led the entire arcane empire to expand its territory, and continued to develop and grow, and finally reached today's situation, but... all of this is not there yet
Is there a premise?”
premise?
Lando blurted out: "The gods fell into a deep sleep for unknown reasons?"
The black shadow smiled and said: "Yes, you must know that our universe was called the universe of gods at the beginning. If the gods hadn't fallen asleep for some reason, then what you see now should be a different situation."
Huh? Some reason?!
For some reason, Lando instantly noticed that the wording used by Black Shadow was obviously different from that in historical records.
The record clearly says 'the gods fell into a deep sleep for unknown reasons', which shows that the reason is unknown, but what the black shadow said is 'the gods fell into a deep sleep for some reasons'. Since it uses some reasons, then
Does this mean that the black shadow knows the cause and effect?
The black shadow seemed to see through Lando's thoughts and said with a smile: "What a keen little guy. It was indeed a crisis at that time, but a big thing happened. This thing was a bad thing for the universe and the gods, but
For the nascent Arcane Empire, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"That is...a collision of universes that is extremely rare in the multiverse!"
Universes collide?!
How can this be?
In the cosmic sea of the outer universe, there are as many universes as there are grains of sand in the Ganges. If universes could collide with each other, everything would have been in chaos!
Seeing Lando's incredible expression, Black Shadow spread his hands and said: "Yes, this goes against all the theories we know today. There is no research that shows that the universe can have direct contact with the universe, let alone collide.
Yes, but impossibility doesn’t mean it won’t happen. The multiverse will always be full of miracles or bugs, right?”
To calm down his excitement, Lando said: "The collision between the universes caused the Arcane Universe, oh, it was still called the Universe of Gods at that time, right, to affect our universe, which caused the gods to be directly connected to the origin of the universe.
Were all severely damaged and collectively fell into a deep sleep?"
The shadow laughed loudly and said: "It's ridiculous, isn't it? The failure of the gods and the rise of the Arcane Empire were due to such ridiculous and incredible reasons. At that time, the Arcane Empire was developing very fast, and those gods were still restrained.
The minions tried to wait for their gods to return, but then they realized something was wrong, so they joined forces and wanted to fight the empire to the death, but of course they were completely defeated!"
"Well, of course, there is a long-lasting hatred between the gods. I think the reason why the gods were able to put aside all their prejudices and unite was mainly because of the first arcane emperor Caesar. If he hadn't been too much
Arrogant, he established World Zero Laboratory to imprison sleeping gods for research. It was impossible for those idiots to unite so easily. At that time..."
"cough!"
The cough of the Seventh Arcane Emperor Edison Cornet sounded again, interrupting the enthusiastic shadow who was speaking.
After all, the initial reasons for the first total war of the Arcane Empire already involved some dirty information and gossip about that person. In order to maintain that person's image, it is better not to let the juniors know too much.
The black shadow smacked his lips, looking very dissatisfied, but did not say any more.
Although Lando was a little regretful, he did not dare to dwell on it. He quickly changed the subject and said: "The 'soul weapon system' has something to do with the gods? Is it an artifact created by a certain god?"
"Sacred weapon?" Black Shadow sneered and said, "You underestimate it too much, and you think too highly of the gods!"
"You must know that the 'Soul Armor' is an emperor-level treasure in its prime state. Those gods who only know how to hide in their lair may not even know the concept of the multiverse, so how can they create a unified level of all worlds?
treasure?!"
‘Soul Armor’? Is this the real name of the ‘Soul Armed System’?
And...are the gods so shameless?
At this moment, the image of the gods as the enemy of the arcane empire seemed to begin to collapse in Lando's perception.
Black Shadow continued: "Actually, it's a bit loose to say this. According to the excavated history, maybe some ancient gods still know about the multiverse, and some of them have even tried to explore it, but the specific results are unknown."
Since the 'Soul Armed System' is not an artifact, and coupled with what Heiying said, could it be said that...
"The 'soul weapon system' comes from the universe that collided with the arcane universe?"
Black Shadow nodded and said: "That universe is what we call the 'dimensional universe'!"
Lando asked in surprise: "Dimensional universe? Is it the dimension in our arcane universe?"
Black Shadow said: "Before, our arcane universe did not have the concept of dimensions, and what you see now belongs to the bottom dimension of the arcane universe, and it was also the product of a super-large world laboratory later!"
Shock!
Lando was really shocked. He didn't expect that the entire dimensional world hidden under the reality of the Arcane Universe was actually created by the Arcane Empire?!
Wait, if that’s the case, wouldn’t the entire dimensional world be under the control of the Arcane Empire?!
After all, no arcanist would let his creation escape his control!
At the same time, Lando also thought of many things, such as the 'Awakened World' (Chuunibyou World) that he traveled to shortly after becoming an Arcanist. It is said that it was also an abandoned world laboratory. Of course, there are more similar world laboratories.
Messages, perhaps these are products born for the purpose of studying the dimensional universe.
Then Lando had another doubt. Since the "soul weapon system" is a product of another universe, how could it be scattered in the arcane universe? Could it be that...
Black Shadow said: "The War of the Goddess is also called the First Empire Total War, then the Dark Age, and then the second Empire Total War that follows. Do you know that this second Empire Total War
Who is the opponent our Arcane Empire faces in the war?”
Lando said in a deep voice: "Is he someone from the dimensional universe?"
Black Shadow smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, the empire faced only three enemies at that time, 'Weird', 'Soul', and... 'Time'!"
Weirdness, soul and time?!
This is both an ability and a code name, but it also fully shows how powerful the enemy is!
Three people were enough to compete with the entire Arcane Empire at that time!
‘Weird’? Lando instantly thought of the broken armor he had obtained in the core of the world of the Four Kings.
‘Soul’ should refer to the original owner of the ‘soul weapon system’ in his soul!
So who is ‘time’?
Black Shadow continued: "The war was extremely brutal at that time, and the empire barely managed to win after suffering heavy losses. The 'soul' was obliterated, his 'soul armor' was scattered in the arcane universe, and 'weirdness' suffered indelible damage.
Even part of the 'Weird Armor' has been lost and is still hiding somewhere in the arcane universe."
Listening to this unknown epic, Lando also fell into a state of leisurely fascination. Such power is what he should pursue!
After waiting for a moment, the shadow stopped talking, and Lando asked strangely: "What about our last enemy, 'Time', what happened to him?"
The shadow shook his head and did not continue, but said: "Ask something else."
Black Shadow's attitude made Lando think a lot. In the end, he did not struggle with it, but asked: "Senior, does he know where the other components of the 'Soul Armed System' are?"
Heiying suddenly said excitedly: "Of course I know, hehe!"
Lando was helpless, but he had some understanding of this senior's unconventional character, and asked respectfully: "Senior, please let me know!"
Black Shadow said with satisfaction: "You should have collected most of the 'Soul Armor' now, and you still have the armor and feet left, right? As far as I know, the bottom armor is in the treasure house of a certain hell master. Now all hells
The master's treasure house has been locked, and those will become one of the trophies of the final victor of the 'Hell War'!"
Good guy! Lando is just a good guy!
The 'Hell War' prepared by the Arcane Empire has not yet started, but the original owner's treasure house has been locked up and directly designated as one of the trophies for the future winner of the 'Hell War'?!
Lando's mouth twitched.
The black shadow smiled and said: "As for the last two parts of the feet, hehe, they are here with me!"
Lando blinked and shouted eagerly: "Senior!"
Heiying said in embarrassment: "I paid a lot of money to get it! And for things like suits, the value of the last piece must always be higher than other accessories. This is common sense in the game!"
Lando looked at the black shadow speechlessly.
The black shadow chuckled, not trying to show off: "But since you need it, I can't give it to you. As long as you can get the one from the Lord of Hell, I will give you the part in my hand."
The one you got from the Lord of Hell?
Does it mean to let him win the Hell War? Or there is another way of thinking, to exchange with the final winner of the Hell War!
Of course, according to Lando's current guess, the black figure in front of him is the person who invested in him in the 'Five-person Council', so if you want to see his value clearly, then the former option should add more points.
yes.
Lando said: "Okay, I will do my best to win the hell war and restore this emperor-level treasure to its integrity!"
Black Shadow nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's not in vain that I have such confidence in you, but if you want to restore the 'Soul War Armor' to its integrity, you just need to collect the parts scattered in the arcane universe."
Not enough! Although the 'Soul Armor' is an emperor-level treasure, it was created with the help of the special environment of the dimensional universe. Therefore, when the soul dies in battle, the real core of the 'Soul Armor' has returned to the dimensional universe.
Well, if you want to find its core, you still need to go to the dimensional universe, and at the same time, you can truly exert the original power of the 'Soul Armor' there!"
The original power of ‘Soul Armor’?!
Lando's eyes sparkled.
Black Shadow said: "Okay, don't think so much now. The dimensional universe is not a good place. It's too early for you now. With your current level, you should travel to some small universes. Let's first
Your own path has gained a certain ability to understand all realms. When your path reaches the point where one path is opened and ten thousand paths are avoided, you will almost be able to go to the dimensional universe!"
One opening, ten thousand ways to avoid?!
Road? Field?!
At this moment, Lando thought of the special domain power used by the twin sisters Aino and Elaine!
PS: In fact, Sombra’s identity has a complete context for me, but for this book, he is just a brand new character!
