Infernal Artist

"This is impossible!"

The umbrella holder was tightly wrapped in countless scales, like a rice dumpling, held in the palm of a huge black armor.

There was an expression of disbelief on his face - and he kept this expression as he roared:

"You are obviously dead! You are obviously dead!"

Liu Ping stood opposite him, still wearing a cloak and looking like a weirdo.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

He responded expressionlessly, raised the Baina knife and placed it on the other person's shoulder.

"Liu Ping, stop pretending, it must be you. No one can control this armor except you." The umbrella holder gritted his teeth.

Liu Pingping maintained an indifferent expression and said in an extremely disdainful tone:

"You want to defeat me with such a piece of rubbish armor? You really underestimate the original existence of nightmares like us."

——The power of strangeness: deception!

The umbrella holder was startled and said hesitantly: "Are you not him?"

"Him? Who are you referring to?" Liu Ping said.

The umbrella holder looked back at the behemoth-like black armor and said in a daze: "I have spent countless years trying to figure out this armor...but it is controlled at will by a real nightmare."

"Yes, it's very simple." Liu Ping added.

The man holding the umbrella trembled, and a flattering look gradually appeared on his face: "My lord, I can actually be your slave, please spare my life."

Liu Ping looked down and saw that the scales on the umbrella holder were slightly loose.

——After all, it is the various seals set by the umbrella holder himself.

"It's better not to use the power of unblocking. This way I will feel that you are more sincere." Liu Ping said.

The words fell.

A line of burning small words quietly emerged:

"You have activated a strange performance-level power: a super-popular actor."

"With your scolding, one of the other party's abilities will be completely sealed and cannot be used."

Those scales immediately clung to the umbrella holder again, preventing him from moving at all.

"Do you really want to be my slave?" Liu Ping asked.

The umbrella holder hurriedly said: "It's true——"

Uh-huh!

The sword flashed.

The head of the man holding the umbrella soared into the sky, and was wiped into a cloud of blood mist by countless void sword lights in mid-air.

And his headless body was still kneeling on the ground, blood gurgling from the broken part of his neck, dyeing the black scales red.

Liu Ping put away the knife and said calmly: "You destroyed the real world and forced countless people to sleep in the eternal night. Now you have taken refuge in nightmares and want to completely destroy all living beings on the pillar - how can I forgive you? ?”

A strange pull came over him.

Burning small words quickly appeared:

"The battle is over."

"The sequence spirit in the other world is completing the transmission for you."

Liu Ping stood still and waited silently.

suddenly--

The countless black scales gradually began to vibrate regularly.

For a moment, all the black scales on the huge black armor began to vibrate non-stop, making bursts of buzzing sounds.

"Wait, don't let me go yet." Liu Ping said.

The force pulling him suddenly weakened.

Liu Ping calmly paid attention to the changes in the black armor.

Countless scales suddenly flew up and circled in the air. Some of the scales fell down and gradually formed a human shape.

This humanoid existence walked towards Liu Ping step by step.

The black scales constantly flashed with changing runes, turning the humanoid existence into a man of flesh and blood.

——This is a person Liu Ping has never seen before.

He first saluted Liu Pingping, then squatted down, reached out and touched the blood on the ground, put it into his mouth and tasted it.

"Aggie is finally dead."

the man said.

"Who are you?" Liu Ping asked.

"I am A Yin, the god you rescued in a certain life in the past - the sacred pillar where I am has been destroyed long ago, thanks to you for taking me out," the man said.

Liu Ping looked at him and saw a line of small words popping up above his head:

"The gods of bygone times."

Liu Ping slowly moved his eyes and landed on the headless body of the umbrella holder.

"You called him Aji?"

"Yes, you used many methods in that life, but still failed to defeat the nightmare and had to reincarnate and leave. Aji and I were both living on the scales - we were living on this armor and followed you Wandering through life and death, looking for reincarnation in a new world," the man said.

Scales...

Liu Ping looked at the black armor.

The man named A Yin understood and said: "This armor is as big as an endless mountain. In my lifetime, three thousand gods buried their souls in scale No. 1659 and followed you in reincarnation. "

He pointed at the huge black armor and said, "There are countless scales on this armor, and our three thousand gods are just an insignificant part of it."

"What happened to him?" Liu Ping asked, pointing to the body.

"Aji... He was too eager to become stronger. After his reincarnation, he went deep into the strange world and finally got completely lost in it. However, he remembered this armor because of the powerful power of strange things, so he got to where he is now step by step." A Yin road.

"You didn't reincarnate?" Liu Ping asked.

"I died in battle after reincarnation, so I returned to the armor and remembered everything."

After A Yin finished speaking, his figure suddenly shook.

"Your Excellency, the power of my soul is no longer enough to support me in waking up, but I was entrusted by you in my previous life to tell you something when I wake up."

"Tell me." Liu Ping said.

A Yin said: "This secret can only be told once, because just by telling it, I will exhaust my strength and have to fall asleep again."

"Listen carefully——"

"'Don't go too deep into the weirdness. The end of it is nightmare. Among the thousands of methods I have tried, nightmare is not a power suitable for all living beings. All living beings will only be enslaved by nightmares - find another way.'"

The words fell.

The huge black armor erupted into an increasingly loud and profound roar.

Lines of burning small characters suddenly appeared:

"You have heard the secrets of your past destiny."

"Your power of the Four Holy Pillars has reached the minimum standard."

"The power of the armor begins to bless you, revealing to you the endless secrets of the past era."

"Your 'knowledge and knowledge' have been elevated to a bizarre level."

"From now on, you can see the names of all living beings in their past lives and know their past origins."

Collect all the fine print.

A Yin saluted Liu Pingping and said with a smile:

"Conquer the nightmare, God King."

He could no longer maintain his body shape, and scattered into pieces of black scales, flying towards the huge armor.

Soon.

All the scales flew back to the armor, and all abnormalities disappeared.

Only Liu Ping was still standing on the hand of the huge armor, looking at the armor quietly, somewhat speechless.

A piece of scale armor hides three thousand gods.

There are so many scales, what are they hiding?

Liu Ping sighed.

He could completely feel that this armor was in tune with his mind and was under his complete control.

The scales on the surface of the armor are like the hair and skin of one's own body, completely surrendering to oneself.

So the gods of that past era must not have lied.

Because the armor gave him such a feeling.

Think about it this way——

This armor may have followed him through countless reincarnations.

But together with so many partners, after so much effort, I still haven't found a way to overcome the nightmare.

but.

At least a vague direction has been obtained.

——Stop looking into the depths of the nightmare and think of other solutions.

"Let's go, take me back."

He spoke.

The huge traction force suddenly hit him, wrapping him up and disappearing into the void.

…

Nightmare underground palace.

In the world.

In the open space outside the castle, various strange beings are still waiting.

A ray of light suddenly flashed out in the center of the clearing.

The light spreads.

A strange man dressed in black appeared in the middle of the clearing.

Liu Ping!

He looked around, facing the monsters with the same expressionless faces, and slowly said:

"food--"

“It’s still just food and doesn’t qualify for our status.”

The words fell.

The monsters around gradually began to disperse.

When a few monsters passed in front of Liu Ping, they stepped aside slightly.

——I’m afraid this is an implicit way of expressing respect?

Liu Ping was thinking about it when he suddenly saw lines of small words floating in the open space, right under his feet:

"Nightmare Summoner, you have defeated the challenger."

"This challenge has ended."

"As the winner of the bet, you have obtained the mission shouldered by the other party."

"From now on, you will replace the other person and complete the mission of that great being on this pillar."

"You are qualified to communicate directly with the control spirit of the sequence."

"Please enter the black door."

Liu Ping looked back and saw a small black door opened on the side of the castle, with two expressionless men in black floating at the door.
