On the illusory rift valley slope, the thorns keep giving way.
The Lord of Purgatory leads all the way to the bottom, and then passes through a long and narrow passage.
The whole journey actually didn't take much time, but it seemed extremely long to the Lord of Purgatory.
On the way, he kept thinking about it.
"Can I succeed?"
"Why on earth did I end up here?"
"Why did I come here, what is my purpose of becoming a god, and what is the persistence that I rely on to fight against that ancient existence?"
to be honest.
He was confused and completely lost his confidence.
He seemed to have never thought about this issue before. He was born with the feeling that he should become a god.
As for the why, if there is no why, is there still a need for a why to become a god?
But after becoming a myth, when the crisis of death and destruction was before him, he suddenly discovered that this why might be important.
He thought he had everything after becoming a myth, but apart from the initial excitement, what he encountered was endless emptiness, uncertainty and hesitation about the future.
Other gods are extremely persistent about the way forward, turning their persistence into sharp blades to cut off everything. Compared with those existences, he seems to be too far behind.
And then, he completely lost in front of other myths.
He felt: "Maybe, I lost in this aspect."
At this time, he remembered what Dark Moon said.
He wanted to be a chain that bound everyone, which he once sneered at.
Now that I think about it, maybe this ideal is not bad?
At least.
Better than nothing!
Among the dense thorns, he saw the big tree in the distance that wrapped the Abyss Oath Stone Tablet. He walked forward along the thorny road and finally came under the thorn tree.
On the stone platform under the tree, densely packed spiritual bodies gathered together. This was prepared for the ceremony and was also part of the ceremony.
At this time, he looked at the figure standing in front of the stone tablet and looking at the oath of the abyss.
The other person looked obviously out of place with the other figures.
The Lord of Purgatory tensed up and shouted out the other person's name.
"The God of Original Sin."
The other party has really been waiting for him here for a long time.
The man turned around and looked at the Lord of Purgatory.
It was the first time for the Lord of Purgatory to see the other person so close. The other person's sharp and thick short hair was combed back, revealing his forehead and hairline. The hairline was as flat as a straight line.
The outline of the other person's face is very hard, and so is his body shape, which is very thin and tall.
No one spoke, but the Lord of Purgatory couldn't bear the pressure.
Lord of Purgatory: "You think you have won, don't you?"
The figure was condescending: "I'm just closer to the goal."
Lord of Purgatory: "What's the difference?"
The man said: "The word victory has strong emotional connotations, but in fact, there is nothing to be happy about."
"There is no such thing as victory or defeat, only goals completed and unfinished."
The Lord of Purgatory looked at this guy with a lifeless face, and he suddenly wanted to know the reason why such a guy became a god, and what supported him to fail again and again, and then succeed amidst the failures.
He asked the other party: "What exactly do you want?"
The man said: "A lot."
"I want to see what is the end of wisdom, I want to know what is the end of the universe, what is the end of time."
"I want to know what it will be like when the sun collapses and destroys. I want to know what the world is like in the eyes of the Creator."
The Lord of Purgatory looked at the evil god in front of him, his mouth wide open.
The words spoken by an evil god, a lunatic in the eyes of ordinary people, actually made him yearn for something.
"Your ideals are greater than mine, and your persistence is far greater than mine."
He said: "But, I still don't want you to succeed, I still want to move forward."
Original Sin Evil God: "Why, your goal is to become a god anyway."
"Now that you have become a god, what's the point of continuing?"
From the other party's point of view, it seems that people without goals and persistence should die. They are meaningless existences, just like all living beings in the world who are busy and don't know why they live their lives.
She looked down upon the Lord of Purgatory as if she ignored those mortals.
They are all a group of insects that live and die without knowing anything, just like the species that have continued to disappear and become extinct in the long years she has experienced.
Lord of Purgatory: "Someone gave me the meaning to continue."
Original Sin Evil God: "The meaning given by others?"
The voice of the Evil God of Original Sin has no emotional color, but the interrogative sentence still makes people feel a strong sense of ridicule.
The Lord of Purgatory did not speak anymore. He already knew the answer he wanted. If he could get through this, he must think carefully about the meaning of becoming a god.
Then, he took action directly.
In an instant, the power of the entire flame star was mobilized by him, and cursed shadows thousands of meters long appeared around him.
These are the origins of the curse.
"Those who eat man are destined to be eaten by gods!"
The cursed shadow fell, and a huge long table emerged from the darkness.
The corpse eater cursed a form transformation, turning the entire world into a long table, and then wanted to drag Xiao onto the table using mythical laws to eat him.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao landed on the dining table that rose from his feet.
He was the only one on the giant's table, because this "big meal" was prepared only for him.
"Gu Gu Gu~"
"Hua la la la~"
However, a large amount of black mud immediately surged out from under Xiao's feet.
At first it was just a gurgling sound, but then it gathered into a sea and flowed with a roar.
The sea of filth immediately submerged the dining table and swallowed everything. The shadow transformed from the corpse-eater's curse struggled in the black sea, unable to get up.
But what Xiao was involved in now was not a one-on-one fight, but a siege.
"Those who sacrifice others will be punished by hanging."
The hanging curse turned into countless ropes and fell from a high place to Xiao's place, trying to hang him up and make him suffer punishment forever.
But a brass oil lamp jumped out, releasing a fire that filled the sky and burned all the ropes to ashes.
More and more cursed shadows are coming.
The Lord of Purgatory, surrounded by a group of cursed shadows: "Original Sin, look at the power of my curse!"
The Lord of Purgatory has always been dissatisfied with Xiao, who created the law of original sin, and believes that his law of curse is not inferior to that of the other party.
All the cursed shadows swarmed up and attacked Xiao from all directions.
But what the Lord of Purgatory didn't expect was that at this time, one of the cursed origin shadows he controlled also began to transform.
A cursed shadow suddenly transformed into a complete human form, giving birth to red skin, and then gave birth to terrifying horns.
"Roar!"
He looked up to the sky and roared his filial piety, began to develop self-awareness, and even wanted to get rid of his control.
The face of the Lord of Purgatory was extremely ugly. The kingdom of eternity had reached this stage, and it could be said that he was close to the line between life and death.
Xiao stood between the black sea and the sky full of fire, looking at the Lord of Purgatory and said.
"You don't have much time left."
"When your spirituality is exhausted, you have no chance to make a comeback."
"What is the person behind you waiting for?"
This sentence is not so much meant for the Lord of Purgatory as it is for the Asai behind it.
But how could the Lord of Purgatory know when the other party would take action? He could only continue to attack Xiao. This was the only thing he could do.
And this time.
A voice came from the void.
"Truth Seal Technique."
The God of truth and knowledge also took action.
Xiao raised his head and his gaze penetrated the shell of the flame star.
Then he saw a young man wearing a top hat appear above the flaming stars, and a huge mythical door appeared behind him.
In his hand, he held a flask.
He reached out and pulled off the cork of the flask, and launched a long-prepared magic spell.
A terrifying suction force came from the flask, sucking everything into it.
The powerful suction swept everything, rolled up all existences containing extraordinary matter, and compressed them into a ball of information.
Everything he looked at, the entire flame star was twisted and folded under that force, and finally gradually turned into a flat shadow.
Countless mutated monsters turned into paper-like existences while wailing.
The densely packed pages of paper floated through the void of the astral world, and then were drawn into the bottle.
And the core of the bottle's alignment is Xiao.
Xiao raised his hand: "The Gate of Original Sin."
A huge dark red door descended from the sky, pressing on the flaming stars that were being pulled away and transformed.
but.
The small mouth of the flask whipped up a storm that was sweeping across the sky and the earth, and was about to compress the flame stars and the Gate of Original Sin into it.
The two powers started a fierce tug-of-war, and the power that transcended ordinary myths launched the strongest collision in the high sky.
There haven't been any problems between the two, but the purgatory stars under their feet are a bit unbearable.
"Kacha!"
Sounds inaudible to the ears spread throughout the sky in the form of extraordinary fluctuations in mental power.
In an instant, the flame star, which was originally just a gap, was torn apart.
stars.
Divided into two halves.
However, high in the sky, the stars that were split in half were still rotating on the orbit like a whole, but the contents inside were spilled out.
A large number of monsters were thrown out, and dense fragments spread among the cracks in the stars.
However, Asai is still targeting Xiao and the Gate of Original Sin, and seems determined to put Xiao into his own bottle.
At the same time, the Lord of Purgatory was liberated.
He was thrown out, but the thorn trees, stone monuments and high platforms still existed around him in the void.
Dense thorns entangled the high platform and stone tablets, and the spirits were still kneeling in the ceremony, waiting for the moment it started.
The Lord of Purgatory immediately climbed up.
Although the Kingdom of God was torn apart, this moment became an opportunity for him.
"You can start."
The moment the Lord of Purgatory ascended the high platform, Asai's voice appeared in the ears of the Lord of Purgatory.
This situation seems to have been arranged by Asai from the beginning.
Asai did not fully expect that the Seal of Truth could seal Xiao at once. He only needed to hold Xiao back and let the Lord of Purgatory condense the wisdom fruits of the Abyss Oath.
At this moment, it seems that no matter what Xiao chooses, he will be dead.
Either be sealed or taken away from the abyss.
Xiao stood under the Gate of Original Sin, confronting Asai.
The power of the abyss and the power of knowledge stirred up, and then collided violently. The two powers were like mountains and seas, and it seemed that for a while it would be impossible to tell the winner.
Unless, you can seize the opponent's life gate.
Xiao didn't know that he was anxious, but he really wanted to say something to Asai.
"Asai, end your boring hatred!"
"The era of the astral realm has arrived."
"Use your talents and intelligence where they should be used."
"Compared with this vast starry sky, compared with this endless star realm."
"Our grudges, everything about us."
"It all seems so ridiculous."
When Xiao said this, he probably meant it somewhat sincerely.
From the moment the door to the star world opened, from the moment the vast universe was revealed in front of the gods, she seemed to be no longer obsessed with the world beneath her feet.
Asai, who had remained silent, nodded and said.
"yes!"
"So, please die first!"
What you said is correct, but I still want you to die. We can wait until you are dead to talk about anything.
Xiao said: "Useless emotions."
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is just Xiao's death struggle.
However, what Asai didn't expect was that Xiao revealed another card at this time.
He took out a slate and activated it.
"The Couple of Personalities."
Asai's expression changed and he immediately looked around.
Finally, he suddenly understood something, and his eyes fell between the cracks of the broken stars.
On the high platform where the ceremony was held.
-----------------------
the other side.
The Lord of Purgatory rushed to the end of the high platform, reached under the stone tablet, and placed his hand on it.
He looked at the oath stone tablet under the thorn tree, and chanted the oath of the abyss loudly with a somewhat urgent voice.
"The supreme wisdom and royal power, the supreme will of the God-King!"
"The Abyss clan swears an eternal oath to you and makes an everlasting contract with the wisdom of all things."
"We are willing to no longer take the initiative to step into the mortal world and be excluded and restricted by the mortal world, in exchange for the power of mortal original sin and corruption, and in exchange for the origin and reason for our existence in this world."
"We will swallow all mortal sins, bear all filth, and become the dark side of the world and all spirits."
As he sang, the shattered Kingdom of God and the high platform beneath him also quietly rotated along the track.
And when it turns to a certain angle.
In the sky, a divine moon appeared.
The light of the God's Moon amplified in an instant, and the light was projected on Purgatory and also fell on the Lord of Purgatory on the stone platform.
At this time, the shadows on the stone platform moved and shouted loudly along with the Lord of Purgatory.
"The abyssal race comes to you..."
"abyss……"
"abyss……"
"The dark side of all spirits..."
The vows that Avian once swore continue to reverberate, becoming more and more grand.
That sound and power penetrated the entire purgatory, the dream world, and even the human world.
At this moment, not only the shadows in purgatory shouted, but thousands of monsters in the abyss also knelt on the ground.
In the abyss, all kinds of strange monsters, such as the Eagle Demon, the Snake Demon, the Heart-Burning Demon, etc. all raised their heads and shouted along unconsciously.
Even the degenerate members of the Abyss Cult in the human world couldn't help but sing along.
Only, the lazy Demon King sat on the throne, looked at the divine moon high in the sky and yawned.
Unmoved at all.
The Moon of God slowly rotated, and its light completely bathed every corner of the Kingdom of Purgatory.
The Lord of Purgatory looked over attentively. In his eyes, the moon was like an open door.
Now, it seems that he only needs to take one step to enter the place where wisdom originates.
"It's my turn."
Of course he knew what he should do, so he immediately moved forward.
But at this time, something suddenly appeared in his body.
He grabbed him.
"?"
He looked over in a daze, and then he saw another self squeezed out of his body.
The other party stretched out his hand and put on one of his own hands as if putting on clothes.
Then, the other party stretched out his other hand and two feet, and the Lord of Purgatory felt that he had completely lost control of his limbs and most of his body.
The Lord of Purgatory said in disbelief: "What...what?"
The loss of control over his body was only secondary. More importantly, he felt that his consciousness was beginning to be out of control, and his desires and thoughts were artificially modified.
"He wants to replace me."
"What kind of monster is this? Why should he replace me?"
"What did he replace me with?"
The Lord of Purgatory was horrified and fearful to the extreme.
Of course he guessed who did it, but it was difficult for him to understand when the other party did it?
And even though he had manipulated his body to such an extent, he didn't notice it at all.
There's something wrong with this.
However, losing control of his body was just the beginning. He even saw his other self begin to completely merge with him, and he saw his desires and consciousness begin to move without his control.
It's like, he's starting to split.
Another personality has split off, and that personality is replacing him and completely occupying him.
The Lord of Purgatory's mind went blank for a moment. He seemed to have forgotten himself, and his spirit became particularly hazy.
"who I am?"
"Where am I?"
"What am I going to do?"
Suddenly, he finally remembered something.
A picture emerged in his mind. Many years ago, he was suddenly stuffed into this body.
At that time, he had already eroded the body and gradually transformed into the personality of the body.
He held his head and said with a frightened and crazy expression.
"No."
"That's not true."
But then, he laughed wildly again.
"It's not that I have been replaced, it's that I am who I am."
"I am a puppet, I am a puppet of the great God of Original Sin."
He was waving his arms wildly, like a puppet with stiff joints.
"That's right."
"I am God's puppet, and my mission is to open the door to the source for God, allowing the abyss to enter the star realm above the sky."
Yes, he was the puppet all along, but he was disguised as the original Lord of Purgatory.
He thought he was the Lord of Purgatory, but in fact he was no longer the one.
His body is, and so is his memory, but his personality has long been replaced by another.
At this moment.
Asai looked back and saw the Lord of Purgatory raising his head.
"hello!"
"Asai!"
It can be clearly seen that the Lord of Purgatory really showed a crazy and funny expression at this time, and the opponent's limbs seemed to be lifted in the air by strings.
Of course Asai knows what this terrifying thing is.
"The personality couple of the fateful couple?"
"You made the Lord of Purgatory into a personality partner long before the other person became a god?"
Moreover, Asai suddenly understood the key point that Dark Moon and the Lord of Purgatory had not figured out until the end.
After all, where did the problem occur?
Asai looked at the Lord of Purgatory who was completely under control and said with great certainty.
"The historical monument of the Land of Light is that time."
"Only at that time will everything you do not have any information exposed and not be monitored by me at all."
Asai turned to look at Xiao, who was under the Gate of Original Sin, with extremely sharp eyes.
"From the beginning."
"All this is prepared for me, to confuse me?"
The start time and prelude of a true battle between strong men are far longer than anyone imagines.
--------------------------
many years ago.
In the Kingdom of Silence, the ice fairies had just come to the world at this time, bringing legends about them.
Xiao's incarnation traveled across the land holding a brass oil lamp. He finally found a cabin in the forest and met the legendary ice fairy next to a frozen lake.
The fairy sat on a huge miraculous artifact: "Xiao, you are looking for me!"
Xiao looked at the huge and special monument and asked the other party.
"Artifact!"
"Is this the kind of power in the story that can truly reverse time?"
Xiao just asked a few questions at that time, turned around and left without doing anything.
The scene changed and Xiao was back in the abyss.
Among the mountains transformed into flesh and blood, he took out a prop that had been repaired and even improved, the Destined Thread Couple.
This prop can be said to be Xiao's most powerful and precious thing besides the Gate of Original Sin.
Xiao rubbed his fingers against the ancient marks on it, as if he was remembering something.
"The thread of memory, and...the couple of personalities."
Then, the third screen appeared.
The picture shows the scene of the kingdom of heaven falling from the sky, and the former king of hell, Naproses, is laughing and shouting that he is about to become a myth.
The white vast land lies under a windmill in the distance.
The two figures stood side by side, indifferent to the fall of the Kingdom of Light.
It was the King of Fury, Dark Moon, and the Lord of Purgatory. They were discussing Naproses' becoming a god, and seemed to be looking forward to a scene where someone would lose and suffer a big loss.
"Sure enough, the King of Hell won."
"That guy should take action!"
"But it's not that easy."
The King of Fury and the Lord of Purgatory looked at each other, and they walked forward together.
But just as they took a step forward, their expressions suddenly changed.
"who?"
The King of Fury and the Lord of Purgatory turned their heads with expressions of extreme horror and surprise, as if they had seen a ghost.
And standing at the end was a figure holding a brass oil lamp.
In the distant sky, Asai and Sukobu were using Naproses to set up a trap for Xiao. They finally seized the throne of Naproses, severely damaged the King of Lust, and gave birth to the Sky Angel pantheon. took shape.
It can be said that he killed three birds with one stone and severely damaged Xiao.
And above the earth.
The figure behind Dark Moon and the Lord of Purgatory raised his head, and his gaze alone seemed to take away their consciousness.
The lights surge.
The terrifying darkness swallowed up everything, turning this land into a realm between reality and illusion. This realm simultaneously connected the abyss, purgatory and the human world.
In the darkness, a giant hand covered the flesh and blood stars, and the other hand held an ancient stone slab. Whether in the abyss or purgatory, the Dark Moon and the Lord of Purgatory all saw this scene at the same time, I saw every chisel mark on the stone slab.
Engraved on the stone slab is a figure held up by a thread of fate, imitating the work of the ancient saint Stan Tito.
In addition, there are many wisdom texts on it, including ancient myths and prophecies about the return of the Creator.
That was engraved by Barrow, and one of the lines was.
"Everything is already destined."
Not long after, a huge stone monument stood up at the end of the sky.
That was the scene of the monument inscribed with the history of the artifact being activated.
Time is reset, returning all previously engraved people and objects to their engraved state.
And those who enter this place without being inscribed in advance will also have all their memories of this place taken away.
