If I hadn't met Hercules, I'm afraid the secret of the true owner of the scepter would have been buried in the depths of history forever.[
Because the person who made the scepter by hand has lost the memory of that period of time, 90% of the insiders of the matter have died in the siege by the demon hunters, and all written records about the scepter were also destroyed in the war.
, he is the only one who knows the truth.
However, what happened before and after Vivian made the scepter? What did she know back then? What was her purpose in making the scepter? These are all shrouded in layers of mystery. Judging from Hercules's description
, Vivian was obviously in a state of frenzy on the eve of her sleep, but she still managed to maintain her sanity. She must have felt something when the core of the scepter fell into the hands of Zeus, so she insisted on going to Olympus.
Shan Da caused that scene. Every time Vivian falls asleep, she takes away a lot of her power and knowledge. On the other hand, she becomes stronger and more knowledgeable before every fall asleep, which means that she used to know the scepter.
The core true face.
He even knows how to deal with it.
A slight crisp sound, like broken glass, came from nowhere, and then an unstable wind blew up between the sky and the earth. The grass in the wilderness swayed in the wind. At the end of the sky, the high-hanging Olin
The sacred mountain of Pis gradually became blurred.
"It's almost time," Hercules looked up at the sky with a relieved expression on his face, "I can finally take a rest."
Hao Ren's pupils shrank, he knew what Hercules meant by "it's almost time".
However, he soon realized that there was no way he could save the ancient hero in front of him: Hercules' body had been completely distorted by the evil power in the artifact. His body was already dead, and even his soul was gone.
Full of wounds, both spiritually and physically, Heracles was already a dead man. He was now just the carrier of the power of the scepter. In this case, any medical treatment was meaningless.
But he still held on to the last glimmer of hope: "Is there any way to save your soul?"
"It's not necessary," Hercules just shook his head slowly, "Even if you really have a way, I don't need it. I have gone too far and experienced too many things. Most of my life
It doesn’t belong to myself, gods and people...I have been fighting for them, but now, I decided to stop and I want to take a good rest."
Hao Ren looked at the hero. He actually had a lot of persuasive words to say, but after seeing the other person's eyes, he swallowed all his words. This man did not need persuasion. He had no despair or regret.
, he has no unfulfilled wishes and no nostalgia for the world. He is neither curious about the future nor reminiscing about the past. He simply wants a long rest.
This is a unique way of death for immortal species: life is long enough and has lost its color. He has lived enough, and that's it.
"Before you leave, I want to ask you one last thing." Hercules suddenly turned his head and looked into Hao Ren's eyes.
"What's the matter?" Hao Ren responded subconsciously.
"Thank Hesperius for me," Hercules smiled, "thank her for taking care of me."
After Hao Ren nodded, Hercules seemed to have finally completed the last thing in his life. He let out a sigh of relief, and his figure quickly dimmed and became transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye. Behind him, the sky began to break into pieces.
Shattered pieces like glass.
At this time, Hao Ren suddenly thought of something. He immediately took a step forward, looked into Hercules' eyes, silently recited the name with the most powerful power in the universe, and followed the manual to combine this name with
The souls in front of him were connected. Finally, he opened his hands to Hercules: "Rest in peace, the goddess will bless you."
Hercules glanced at Hao Ren doubtfully, and then slowly closed his eyes.
Some imperceptible black smoke floated out from his thinner figure, and then his entire body turned into light and gradually dissipated.
And behind him, the Olympus in his memory shattered together with the sky, turning into endless darkness that fell towards the edge of the spiritual world.
The whole world shook violently.
At the same moment, in the outside reality, Hercules' huge body began to break apart inch by inch.
"Bat, bat, what to do now?!" Lily, who had returned to human form and was covered in smoke and dust, looked anxiously at the expanding black crack beside the giant. Now that the artifact scepter has been sealed, Hercules, as the host,
It is also disintegrating, but the evil force escaping from the "border" will not simply disappear out of thin air. These remaining forces are fighting back on the verge of death, as if they can also realize that the defeat is certain.
, this evil force began its final wave of explosions with the momentum of dragging everyone to death: that desperate black tide is reappearing.
Perhaps the negative power that has lost its source will soon be completely exhausted, but before that, this alien space may collapse earlier.
What's even more terrible is that Hao Ren has lost consciousness just now. Vivian turned around and looked at the man lying behind her. The moment he sealed the scepter, he fell down from Hercules. It was Lily's eyesight and "hand"
"She quickly rushed up to catch her landlord, so that the latter did not fall into the tide of monsters: the husky girl's brave move must be the result of her usual practice of catching Frisbees.
And Lily's current embarrassed appearance is also a by-product of this brave action.
"He is still in the deep link state," the data terminal circled Hao Ren's head several times. "Strange, strange, Hercules is already dead... Who is he connecting to now?!"
"Is he in danger?" Vivian asked immediately.
"There is no danger. This machine is bound to his soul, which can confirm that his spiritual world is safe."
Vivian breathed a sigh of relief, but Hesperius looked worriedly at the spreading black tide: "In short, just stay alive. The most important thing now is these things... we must solve the situation before it completely gets out of control.
"
Lily became more and more anxious. Her eyes kept turning between the black tide and Hao Ren. The situation in front of her made her feel an unprecedented crisis. At this moment, she realized that Hao Ren had always been the backbone of the team. Any crisis would have nothing to do with it.
The challenges seemed so insignificant when he led her. But now, this man lost consciousness due to unknown reasons, and she was completely confused.
Vivian raised her head and looked into the distance. The dark shadows continued to spread, showing no sign of decline.
Nolan is activating her artillery system, but now everyone is trapped in this alien space. Without Hao Ren waking up, without the protection of the shield array, the spacecraft does not dare to fire at will. What's more, this time and space is also
It would be difficult to withstand a second bombardment.
Lily licked Hao Ren's hand and found that there was no response from him. She raised her head again and saw Vivian slowly floating into the air, and bursts of bloody whirlwinds were spreading from the other side.
Lily was stunned immediately: "Bat, bat, what are you doing?"
Vivian did not answer. She just carefully mobilized this power that she had not used for a long time, recalling its control skills bit by bit from the depths of her memory. Her long hair was driven by the magic power to dance without wind, and every strand of silk was
The ends are soaked with blood-red light.
Along with the increasingly intense energy fluctuations, her figure gradually became blurred, as if some force had caused her to escape from real time and space.
A hot surge spread from the blood vessels, and Vivian almost felt like she had a beating heart: she felt that the energy in her body was stirring, which gave her the illusion of a beating heart, and this energy quickly
Becoming stronger soon became a huge burden. She frowned and gritted her teeth to persist.
Hesperius was stunned for a while, and finally remembered what this energy fluctuation meant from the depths of her memory. Her expression changed greatly: "You want..."
"Don't look up at the sky, don't look directly at the moonlight."
Vivian's voice came from the air, and then a beam of red light fell from the sky. Her figure was completely bathed in this primitive power that was powerful enough to distort reality, as if her whole body was covered with a layer of blood.
A red moon rises slowly.
This is a scene that is difficult to describe in words. Although Vivian also tried to summon the Red Moon three years ago, her summons only lasted a short time and was interrupted. Moreover, she was summoned in a hurry.
He also failed to use all his strength, but this time, the real red moon was already in the sky.
This summoned moon rises to the zenith and gradually expands. This scene is as terrifying as a star falling towards the earth, and the vague pattern lines on the moon's surface gradually become clear as the moon's surface expands.
, these lines containing huge power are full of energy. When they shine, the whole world is instantly filled with a distant and mysterious echo, like a bell.
The first bell rang and the moonlight shone on the earth.
The second bell rang, and all the servants of darkness could not help but look up at the sky. In the moonlight, they quickly disappeared like phantoms.
The third bell rings, and everything in heaven and earth returns to balance and order. (To be continued.) 8
