On an uninhabited island in the western part of the Suniya Sea, pea vines hang down from the sky, emerge from the cracks in the barren rocks, and intertwine with each other to form a green waterfall.
As the "waves" surged, a figure wearing a dark robe rolled out.
As soon as the figure got rid of the entanglement of the pea vines, it rolled half a circle on the ground and slapped its palm on the ground. The uninhabited island, which was hundreds of meters long, immediately shook, and huge cracks began to spread from the ground.
The green pea vines also collapsed, but there was no green juice or residual branches left. They disappeared into the air the moment they broke, as if they had never existed.
In this violent shaking, the colors of the islands, pea vines, sky, and seawater became brighter, gradually losing their specific shapes, becoming abstract and lake-like, becoming various stacked color blocks, one after another.
Strange, illusory creatures that cannot be accurately described emerge from the surroundings.
The sky was also covered with bright and pure brilliance of different colors, containing endless knowledge.
At this moment, the gap between the spiritual world and the real world is broken.
But just when the obviously thicker figure was about to rush into the depths of the spiritual world, he found that the world in front of him was shaking again, as if time went back, the clear and overlapping color blocks collapsed, and the illusory creatures became more illusory until
Disappeared, and the uninhabited island, sea water, and sky appeared again.
It's just that those green pea vines have disappeared, but there is one more person, a young man.
He is dressed in ordinary clothes, has an extremely ordinary appearance, and his hair is neither long nor short. He is the type of person who is difficult to distinguish among people.
The only special point is the black gemstone brooch on the chest.
He had his hands behind his back, a smile on his lips, and his brown-black eyes looked straight over.
But Edward Laito had no interest in knowing who this guy was. He stomped his left foot heavily on the ground, trying to completely collapse the island under his feet and make the gap between the spiritual world and the real world "chaotic" again. But the result was just to make a few people
A stone jumped up.
His "chaos" didn't work, or in other words, it was restored by the guy in front of him at the moment it worked.
"The Fallen Count"?
No, Edward, who is also the "Fallen Earl", knew that it would be difficult for him to do this even if he was in normal condition.
"Chaos" means breaking the original balance, looking for loopholes, and creating loopholes. Even the "Fallen Earl" can show tendencies to a certain extent. For example, he can make "chaos" focus on the gap between the real world and the spiritual world.
It is easy to terminate "chaos", but it is not so easy to restore the effects that "chaos" has already created.
Edward Laito still didn't give up. Although he didn't know why the "Mysterious Queen" and Nast didn't appear, his hope of survival became smaller and smaller with every second that passed.
His chin was close to his collarbone, and a shadow shrouded his face, making his facial features become blurry. The loose black hair and the thick beard around his mouth made his head seem to have completely turned into a black shadow.
The originally well-defined muscles under his black robe expanded rapidly, and his arms and legs became abnormally long under a layer of shadow. Thick black curly hair emerged from the shadow, like some kind of gibbon.
Like a monkey.
The black robe he wore was obviously of good workmanship. It had not been torn into pieces and strips by the sudden increase in body size, but it was tightly stretched on the surface of the body. The cuffs were reduced to the elbows, but the clothes inside were in tatters.
It's not that Edward opened up an incomplete form of a mythical creature.
Although there is no longer the influence of the "reality is enhanced, mystery is weakened" law here, and his spirituality has been restored to a certain extent, it is far from enough to allow him to show the incomplete form of a mythical creature.
As a "lawyer", his ability to see through loopholes allows him to control his own state, find a more perfect balance point, and show the special characteristics of mythical creatures at the expense of part of his sanity without worrying about losing control.
Because, in essence, he does not display the form of a mythical creature.
This was originally a method he came up with to target the Beyonders below demigods, causing them to lose control or become crazy on the spot.
But now, he is just using this state to enhance his strength, further squeeze his spirituality, and get out of the current predicament.
Although Rawls is not inferior to the "Fallen Earl" in terms of ability strength, he is actually still the "Chaos Mentor" of Sequence 5. When he saw Edward about to reveal the form of a mythical creature, he subconsciously wanted to look away, but his
The spirit told him that this would not put him in danger.
A trace of pale white illusory mist rose from the brownish-black hole, reflecting Edward Lato's current state. The "Heart of Desire" on his chest allowed him to clearly sense the huge emotional fluctuations in the other person's heart.
Fear, doubt, cowardice...
A layer of viscous black liquid spread from the "Heart of Desire" and quickly climbed onto Rawls' face, covering half of his face. His lips moved and he uttered words quickly.
"You're wondering why Nast isn't here?"
"Do you really think Nast wants to punish you, a traitor?"
"Or do you think George Negan's death was just an accident?"
"Why did the Negan family give up on you?"
With the ability of "lawyer" and the "heart of desire", every word Rawls uttered seemed to hit Edward Laitor's heart directly, making him not only have to grasp the balance between the mythical creature form and the normal form, but also resist
Due to the emotional impact caused by the mental babble, his attention was inevitably drawn by the content of the words.
This is a technique Rawls learned from Amon, except that he does not have so many clones, but the "lawyer" gives him an extremely fast speaking speed and can ensure that every word is transmitted to Edward's ears.
"From the very beginning, when Nast attacked the Pritzker, the plan against you began!
In order to prove the power of the ironclad, Grove targeted Nast. The Black Emperor's ability to travel through the spiritual world requires the cooperation of someone familiar with Nast to have a chance to intercept him. And you, Edward...
Come on, the defecting first mate is undoubtedly the most qualified."
Edward Laito, who had transformed into "Gibbon", had a dark red light in his eyes, waving his abnormally long arms, and pushed forward violently. The air in front of him was compressed into projectiles that were no less powerful than cannonballs and hit Rohr.
S.
"MI9 moved faster than I thought and found you soon! But with George Negan and the Negan family here, even the royal family cannot deal with you arbitrarily."
Swish swish, amidst the rapid buzzing of the air, Rolls turned his body sideways, stretched out his right arm and pointed towards the sea. Several air compression bombs left traces on the sea and exploded into huge waves.
"So, George Negan was assassinated by Senior, and Paras Negan also died at the hands of Jason Belial. Did you see the brooch I wear on my chest? That's Jason Bay.
Made of Leah’s characteristics, he is an ‘apostle of desire’! It allows me to better sense your emotions!”
After distorting the trajectories of several more compression bombs, Rolls suddenly jumped into the air. The eyes on half of his face covered by the viscous black liquid turned into a deep blue, and there were red and blue streaks on the fingers of his hands.
The flames bloomed like lotus flowers, and the strong smell of sulfur dissipated.
With a flick of his fingers, red fireballs with blue colors collided with air bombs that had no obvious trajectory and only buzzed, exploding into turbulent airflow and causing sparks to fly everywhere.
"As the 'Fallen Earl', you should know what this is for?"
As a "lawyer", Rawls' words are naturally half-truths and half-falsities, and he must give his enemy sufficient time to think. This will not only distract the other party, but also make the other party's mood swing even greater!
The essence of the "Fallen Earl" promotion ceremony is to fully perceive the various changes in the mind before the fall, and experience the horror of rules playing with people's hearts. Only in this way can the impact of "divinity" be effectively reduced.
Edward Laito, who was frantically making air compression bombs and "amplifying" his attacks from time to time, paused for a moment, and then he exerted force on his waist and let himself fly into the air.
"The Fallen Earl", "Exploit".
When Edward realized what Rawls wanted to do, his first thought was not anger and confusion as to why a "chaos mentor" dared to target the "fallen earl" in the promotion ceremony, but deep fear, so he chose
Escape!

At the same time, he also found a suitable reason for himself. The other party would not be able to catch up with him if he had not been promoted to demigod!
Rawls's eyes instantly became dark. When Edward flew into the air, his right hand suddenly grasped his hand, as if he was holding the other person's heart that was filled with fear.
The emotion of fear, like the blood pumped by the rapidly beating heart, circulated throughout Edward's body, and finally rushed straight to his brain, causing him to lose his spirit and find it difficult to maintain his "floating" state, and he fell directly from the air.
But the sublimation of life level brought about by becoming a demigod allowed him to recover before landing. The dark red light in his eyes brightened again, and the fear in his heart receded like a tide.
Through "exploitation", he brought an end to fear, a state that is not conducive to him, in advance.
Boom~Rumble
Rawls punched the ground, causing the original gap on the island to become even larger. Red magma rushed out of the gap along with poisonous steam, and rushed towards Edward, who was four or five meters above the ground.
·Come to entrust.
"Apostle of Desire", "Manipulating Magma".
The island itself is an island formed by volcanic magma, and because of Edward's previous damage, he was able to easily create a magma eruption.
"Why are you running away? I have made so many preparations for you, but you should just listen to me before leaving!"
It must be said that compared to Nast, Rawls made many mistakes in his judgment of Edward.
He always thought that Edward Laitor had certain feelings for Nast as his "father". For example, he didn't like others to call him Mr. Laitor, nor did he like people to call Nast by his first name in front of him.
These are considered by Rawls as evidence that the relationship between the two still remains, but Nast's previous words prove that Edward Laitor is just afraid of the strong, and even the mention of his name will arouse his fear.
This caused Rawls' plan to almost go into serious trouble.
If Nast had not known Edward very well, it would have been impossible for Rawls to corrupt Edward through the "father-son love".
But now, he has a method that is more suitable for Edward.
Since fear has the greatest impact on him, just arouse his fear.
In fact, when Edward was brought here, the fear in his heart almost overflowed. Neither Nast nor the "Queen of Mystery" could compete with him. Death was right in front of him, so how could he not be afraid.
But Rawls wanted Edward to fear him, even if it was because of Nast and Bernadette standing behind him.
This is related to an issue, that is, the degree of completion of the promotion ceremony.
The auxiliary materials and promotion rituals in the potion formula are used to reduce the risks caused by taking the potion. If you have enough luck, you don't need the auxiliary materials and promotion rituals.
A living example is "Poseidon" Kavitua.
This big sea snake most likely has the "Sea King" characteristic of swallowing it directly. There is no ritual or materials, and it becomes Sequence 3 in one step.
Leaving aside the auxiliary materials, the higher the degree of completion of the promotion ceremony, the better. This can minimize the risks caused by taking potions.
For example, the ceremony to be promoted to "Magic Mage" requires relying on one's own strength and planning. Under the witness of many audiences, one must direct a grand drama in order to murder a demigod or an equivalent extraordinary creature. Then, at the end of the drama,
, take the magic potion.
Among them, the audience is the most important part, and their witnessing will become the anchor for the stable promotion of the "Cunning Mage".
The greater the number and quality of the audience, the higher the completion of the ceremony and the better the effect.
As the King of Angels of the "audience" pathway, Adam brought the completion and effect of the ceremony to an insurmountable peak.
The ceremony of being promoted to "Fallen Earl" is extremely important to Rawls, not only because he wants to become a demigod, but also because of the threat posed by the unknown.
He didn't know what strange changes would happen after he became a demigod.
Therefore, the higher the completion degree of the promotion ceremony, the better the effect, and the safer his subsequent promotion will be.
Although from the current point of view, in order to complete this ritual, Rawls used almost all the power at his disposal, and this does not include the helpers like Bernadette invited by Nast.
But how much of these could be counted as part of the ritual, he couldn't grasp.
As he just said, Nast's attack on the Pulitzer can be said to be the fuse, and this fuse was lit by Rawls, which later included persuading Philip Negan to give up the assets in the Central Sunian Sea
In order to support Backlund's regional power, this indirectly hit Edward and caused him to be abandoned step by step.
The end of this grand "chaos" also allowed Rawls to completely digest the magic potion of the "Chaos Tutor", and the opportunity to complete the ritual was right in front of him.
