"I really miss you. I haven't been here for a while."
Stepping into the Immortal Club, the astronaut looked around. This was not his first time here. For the astronaut, the Immortal Club had not changed much. He could still see the familiar past in it.
"A long, long time ago, this was not a club for drunkards to spend their time, but a gladiatorial arena full of blood and honor."
The astronaut stood there and recalled it, and said with a full sense of nostalgia, "Everyone who sets foot here will be watched by the children of eternal wrath and gain immortality in this bloody arena.
They will engage in crazy duels, fight, die, be resurrected, and fight again. In the cruel death, they will repeatedly hone their skills and use the art of war to please my blood relative."
"The land of restlessness."
The astronaut softly called out the former name of the Immortal Club. In an instant, some subtle power rose and reverberated in the room, and many complicated sounds sounded in the silence, as if there were sleeping souls whispering in their sleep.
"In the cycle of death, the Endless Land will select the greatest warrior and the only champion. He will lead others to start a new round of war until he dies in a certain battle."
The astronaut talked about the past of the Endless Land with mockery of Sai Zong in his tone.
"You will return here with the champion's body and weapons. His body will be buried in the noble ossuary, and the weapons will become the collection of the Children of Eternal Wrath."
The words stopped for a moment, and the astronaut sighed, "It's a pity that everything is over, the land of restlessness has become the past, the so-called honor has become dust on the ground, and only a group of hopeless drunkards are left.
"
The astronaut noticed the collection cabinet next to the bar, and he couldn't help but sneered, "Has even the collection changed from weapons to wine glasses?"
"Are you here just to laugh at me?"
Sai Zong said coldly, "Then you've ridiculed enough and it's time to leave. A bloody guy like you is not welcome here."
"Full of blood?"
The astronaut laughed even louder, "Saizong, how did I realize that you are so humorous? The first champion of the Children of Eternal Wrath, the only immortal champion, you are actually laughing at my blood?"
His laughter was deafening, like thunder, and the entire Undead Club shook violently. The wine glasses collided with each other, making a crisp sound, and the wine bottles in the cabinet poured out, smashing to pieces on the ground.
The astronaut laughed for a while before he slowly stopped and said, "Take me to see Samuel."
Sai Zong said, "He has fallen asleep."
The astronaut suddenly took a step toward Sai Zong, and then grabbed Sai Zong's throat. Sai Zong did not resist, but stared at the golden mask with murderous eyes, staring at himself reflected in the mask.
His face, his own eyes.
"Then let me put it another way."
The astronaut gently exerted force, and a strong sense of suffocation hit Sai Zong's mind. "You step back and let him come to see me."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Sai Zong refused with a strong attitude, and his violent aura was released instantly.
Just like what I saw outside the Immortal Club before, Sai Zong's blood seemed to be on fire. The red blood was like fire, rolling in the blood vessels, bringing an unbearable burning pain.
The golden light penetrates the skin, cutting open the skin like a knife, exposing a dense network of blood vessels. There are also weak flames burning in the small blood vessels, like countless dancing spider webs, shining with mysterious golden light.
"Okay, okay, calm down, Sai Zong, you don't want to be dominated by anger." The astronaut said and took a step back.
"I won't lose control," Sai Zong tried hard to suppress his anger. "If this is just your trick, then you'd better leave."
"well……"
The astronaut sighed, dragged his bloated body, struggled to squeeze into the narrow bar, made a glass of wine by himself, and inserted a straw and lemon slices into the mouth of the cup.
"How about we be honest?"
The astronaut opened the golden mask, revealing the squirming darkness. The straw was inserted into the darkness, and the sound of sucking could be heard.
"A new round of disputes is coming, and the camps are also being re-divided. I, Belphegor, and Asmodeus are united together, while the rest are standing with Beelzebub."
The astronaut put down his glass and asked, "What about you? Sai Zong, whose side will you be on?"
"Neither side." Sai Zong replied forcefully.
"Oh my god, Sai Zong, you are not a child anymore, can we be more mature?" the astronaut said helplessly, "Do you really think you can stay out of it?"
The astronaut's voice became stern.
"Do you think he can stay out of it?"
Sai Zong fell silent. He understood some of the truth, but he just didn't want to accept it.
"How ironic. This was once the hall of honor that countless warriors yearned for and the source of all wars. But now it is occupied by cowards and has become a ridiculous haven to escape the fate you should have faced."
Faced with the astronaut's ridicule, Sai Zong clenched his fists, but when asked to retort, he could not say anything.
Sai Zong is a warrior, he is only good at wielding a sword. Besides, what the astronaut said is true and cannot be disputed.
"You should understand the nature of the devil. In the final analysis, we are just the spokesperson of power. When Samuel cannot perform his duties, why not withdraw? Relinquish his duties and enjoy the absolute peace... that is
Total death."
The astronaut looked around again and said to himself, "The Club of the Immortal is really an apt name."
"This is not a nursing home or a safe haven at all, but a prison, a prison where the undead are imprisoned. In this ridiculous tranquility, you will feel the pain of life for the rest of your long life and will not be able to escape."
The astronaut continued, "Oh... you have a way to escape, just die, but do you really have the courage to face death?"
"Ha ha."
The astronauts' jeers became louder and louder, and the earth shook.
The stairwell also shook, and the members who were sleeping in the room were woken up one after another. They were in a daze at first, unable to break free from the dream. When they clearly realized the existence of reality, they all let out shrill screams.
"You are like standing on a cliff, with no way forward and nowhere to go. The strong wind cuts your skin, and the eagles peck at your flesh. You will suffer almost eternal pain.
Fortunately relief is right before your eyes."
The astronaut talked to his heart's content. Amidst his roar, the stairwell became restless, and strange beings stepped out of the room one after another. They wanted to know who had awakened them from their sleep.
The dim light cast a dim beam, and the doors were pushed open. There were rapid footsteps in the darkness, and strange beings hurriedly ran through the corridors.
Another door opened, and Sere looked out with an unkind expression, smelling of alcohol. This was the first time he was woken up by someone in the Undead Club for so many years. He wanted to know what happened, but saw
Countless monsters filled the corridors.
The first thing that caught his eye was a tall monster with luxuriant muscles that looked strong and savage. It had a huge head, covered with sharp horns, and its vicious eyes made people shudder. Its skin was rough, as if it were made of rock.
, making bursts of rustling friction sounds.
Sere swallowed and regained consciousness. Then another monster came into view. It was a twisted and deformed body. The body was like a huge vine, and the twists and turns were full of sharp thorns and tentacles.
, irregular lines crisscross on the skin, like an endless twisted music. There are no holes in the eyes, only darkness, like a bottomless abyss.
There is also a monster with multiple heads. They are lined up in a row, each looking in a different direction. Each head has a broken face, with sharp teeth exposed in the cracks, making people feel an endless malice.
The pace of the monsters is fast and hurried, as if they are chasing or escaping from some invisible threat. Their bodies exude a suffocating fishy smell that permeates the entire corridor. At the same time, an indescribable sense of fear fills the air.
It spreads in the air, making people shudder.
At this time, Sere realized that something was wrong. This was the Undead Club. Who could shake this place or even wake up these old guys who had been sleeping for thousands of years?
"This is the first time I've seen so many people."
After Sere glanced around in an offensive manner, as the bartender of the Undead Club, he knew that he couldn't hide in the room. The scarlet-eyed child shimmered, and he also joined this strange parade.
The Undead Club was also undergoing changes at this time. The narrow corridor began to become wider, even as wide as several lanes. The door opened repeatedly, and almost everyone was awakened.
The whole scene was shrouded in a weird and depressing atmosphere. The portraits on the wall were distorted and deformed. The open doors and windows were rustling. There was almost no light in the dim corridor. Only the faint light occasionally shined through the cracks, making the monsters
The shape is even more twisted and weird, as if emerging from hell.
"Weier, Bode."
Sere called in a low voice as he saw the two men joining the parade from the other side.
At this time, Bode was holding a mottled spear, and Weier was standing on his shoulder, with a strange light emitting from the cat's eyes, and invisible power was attached to Bode's body layer by layer.
The weird parade continues, with all kinds of monsters joining it, with weird shapes that make people stunned. They jump and fly, performing a terrifying and twisted stage play. The music is twisted and noisy, accompanied by terrifying screams.
Sounds and roars of filial piety.
Demons dance wildly.
The changes in the Undead Club continue. The spiral staircase has turned into a long staircase. The original bar area has also become wider. In the rapid changes, the bonfire is lit, the weapon rack replaces the wine rack, and the wooden floor is replaced by
Covered by the sand, faint shouts rang out, and the pervasive aroma of wine was replaced by thick blood.
After many years, Sai Zong saw the Endless Land again, but this was not what he wanted.
The astronaut looked at the undead people walking towards him and continued to scold them.
"Death is the liberation of all this, it is within reach, but you are a group of cowards. You are more willing to endure this eternal pain than death."
The weird laughter continued, Sai Zong raised his hand to stop, and faced the approaching undead.
Sai Zong said, "Stop."
The undead were stunned for a moment. Most of them joined during the Undead Club period, and those who knew the Land of Eternity had long since died in the endless flames of war.
Naturally, they don't know who the owner of the Undead Club is, and they even have a vague understanding of the rules here.
Just as the undead were about to say something, a force of compulsion struck their hearts, forcing them to stop. Then their figures began to twist and pull away, and Sere among them also felt the same.
"This is... a winding path!"
As soon as Sere judged the nature of the power, his figure quickly twisted, collapsed, and disappeared on the spot. The same thing happened to the undead one after another. They disappeared one after another and appeared in their own room.
Bode held a long gun in his hand and sat down on the bed. Looking at the familiar furnishings in the room, he stood up and tried to leave, but this time the door was locked tightly, and no matter how hard he knocked, there was no crack.
"Weier..." Bo De called softly.
In the vortex where the winding paths collapsed one after another, the figure of the black cat began to fade away, like a phantom, unaffected by the power of the winding paths.
It watched with its own eyes as one member after another was deported, and it relied on its own secret power to avoid the influence of the force. After Wei'er landed, she hid directly in the shadows, silently.
Weier wanted to know what happened.
Sai Zong sealed all the doors, and each undead must stay in their own room obediently. The smell of blood dissipated, and the surging murderous intent calmed down.
The space was restructured again, and after dozens of seconds the scarlet battlefield disappeared, replaced by a familiar bar. Everything just now seemed like a dream.
The astronaut was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Sai Zong could really control his emotions in so many years.
In the silence, Sai Zong said quietly, "Will death really end everything?"
This time the astronaut was silent.
"For the devil, death is just a stage. After falling down, you will always wake up. The you may no longer be you, but he is you again, like a wonderful isomer."
Sai Zong said sadly, "The fate of suffering is still not over, it's just that another unlucky guy has to bear it."
"So, that's why I want to end this completely."
The astronaut said excitedly, "I'm not talking about erasing the will and replacing it with another new will, but in the true sense, complete and utter death."
"End this dark fate once and for all."
Sai Zong stared at the astronaut blankly, trying to see some expression in the creeping darkness, but there was only nothingness and nothing there.
After a while, Sai Zong laughed this time.
"You're much funnier than me, Leviathan."
Sai Zongdu burst into tears with laughter, and stretched out his hand to wipe away, "A devil seeking destruction... not only self-destruction, but also the destruction of all devils.
If what you said is true, did you persuade Asmodeus and Belphegor? When did the devil become so righteous?"
"Of course I couldn't convince them," the astronaut said sincerely, "so I deceived them."
"As for why I confess all this to you..."
The astronaut pressed his hands on the helmet, twisted it hard, and took off the entire helmet.
"I just think that you may be the only one among the devils who can understand me."
In the shadows, the black cat quietly came closer. It first saw Sai Zong, whose whole body was covered with scars and redness, and the cracked wounds were filled with lava-like light.
In front of Sai Zong was a weird man wearing a bloated diving suit. He took off his helmet in front of Sai Zong. Weier tried to see his appearance clearly, but Sai Zong's head perfectly covered the weirdo's face.
, only a steady stream of black particles overflowed from it.
"I'm really honest, Sai Zong."
Leviathan whispered, "Is this enough to impress you and let me go see him?"
Sai Zong gave Leviathan an answer with action. He raised his hand, and then the wriggling space enveloped the two of them, collapsed, and disappeared in place.
Weier jumped out from the shadows, sniffed the residual smell on the ground, and only smelled a pungent smell of sulfur.
