The Collection of The End

——? ? ? ——

In the land of shadows, there is an ownerless graveyard.

Rotten dead trees, broken stone monuments, collapsed walls, collapsed roads, and... empty sarcophagi.

From the outside, the "Unowned Cemetery" is exactly the same as the "Ashes Cemetery" where Thanos just arrived in the Kingdom of Shadows, as if Thanos has made a big circle outside and returned to the original place.

However, it is different from that time. At that time, you could not see the distance because there was an endless ash storm blocking it. If you use "Open Sky", you can still temporarily see the surrounding scenery clearly. At this moment, the scenery that should have been blocked by the ash is completely It was pitch black, as if the snowy mountains and deep valleys didn't exist at all.

"This should be the back hill of Losric Castle." Thanos circled the sarcophagus twice and looked up at the high wall that was blurry in the deep darkness: "When I just climbed out of the coffin, I could also see Looking at Lothric City high behind the Ashes Cemetery, judging from the terrain pattern, the location of the Demon King may indeed be connected to the Ashes Cemetery, but there is a problem here."

The deserted cemetery did not respond to his betrayal.

"If you go around in a circle and return to the starting point, the scenery here shouldn't look like this. Moreover," Thanos lowered his head: "After I climbed out of the sarcophagus, someone must have re-closed its lid. ?”

The sarcophagus under the withered giant tree was tightly sealed, and there was no sign that anyone had climbed out of it.

"Following the normal process, you will encounter a different 'Hero Guda' from the 'Ash Judgment Guda' infected with 'Human Pussy'. Then, after killing some black knights along the way, you will arrive at a 'Flame' In the extinguished fire transfer sacrificial site, there will be an old lady there who will say, "The bell didn't ring, why are there ashes?" You can pick up the "Fragment of the Spiral Sword" in the middle of the sacrificial site, and you can also find it behind a phantom wall. I found a dead fire-proof girl and picked up a pair of 'eyes of the first-generation fire-proof girl'." Thanos paused for a few seconds: "Then, the conclusion is obvious."

The dead trees and sarcophagi listened silently.

"Since the 'players' who have reached this point have set fire to four of the five thrones, leaving only the two Lothrik princes, the 'world' itself has changed the passage that should return to the original 'Ashes Graveyard' to one that leads to 'nothing' Ashes appear, and the fire-proof girl chooses the passage of the world of extinguishing fire, but whether it is the last reincarnation of this world or other parallel worlds is still uncertain," Thanos continued: "If we extrapolate from this, the fire-proof girl in the ending of "extinguishing the fire" What he said about 'seeing a small flame appear in the dark world through those eyes' actually refers to running through time and space to pick up the ashes of props, and there is no new fire at all."

Phew—a new message appeared before the sarcophagus: [Interesting inference. 】

"'Interesting' instead of 'correct'? That's right. She has never followed any story according to the script. She will basically mix up the 'unfortunate' that will happen in the future before the story begins." Eight, then, let me see what she has transformed into this world that has a sense of despair in its bones."

Thanos glanced at the tightly-fitted sarcophagus again, and took steps towards the Fire Transferring Sacrificial Site.

"...Although it is outrageous to have 2B play the role of a fireproof girl."

Although the terrain of the "Unowned Cemetery" is exactly the same as that of the "Ashes Cemetery", the strength of the monsters wandering there is very different. Even the most common "weird in robes" is no longer holding a broken straight sword. Or a shabby short bow, but a rather powerful dark sword and knight's crossbow, God knows where they got it.

And wandering on the cemetery mountain road, there is also a strange double swordsman, wearing a dark red hood that covers his head and face, wielding a double scimitar with a large arc to attack like a top.

Then they were all eliminated one by one by Thanos with one sword.

"The biggest difference between Hero Guda and ordinary Guda is that he will not burst out human pus to interfere with the line of sight, but at the same time he will rely on the Shadowless Kick and the Iron Mountain. Keeping the distance and then bouncing back is a relatively stable strategy.

"Thanos walked out of the ownerless cemetery and looked at the ashes of the judgment field with many lights: "Speaking of which, since the hero Guda was not stuck by the spiral sword and can move freely, then why -"

[Invaded by the dark spirit ‘Crystal Daughter Rin’]

"..." Thanos paused mid-sentence and raised his hand to touch the "dialog box" that appeared in front of him, but came up empty.

"I don't know which one to complain about at the moment, Kangna's prompt board or the identity of the invading dark spirit." He looked at the place where the bonfire was in the original "Ashes Cemetery": "I think the 'Crystalized Old Man' has become the 'Crystal Knight· Tosaka' is already outrageous."

[Hey hey hey. 】A message flashed across the ground.

Under Thanos's gaze, a dark red translucent figure rose from the ground. Although the facial features and color details could not be clearly seen, it was vaguely possible to tell that she was a slender young woman with long hair that fell to her waist. , wearing a denim-like jacket, shorts and boots, with a long knife on his waist.

"This..." Thanos raised his eyebrows: "It's not like Tohsaka Rin's true form, nor is it like Ishtar and Ereshkigal."

Naturally, the invading dark spirit would not answer the question. She looked at Thanos, who was wearing heavy armor and carrying a golden sword, and then suddenly turned around and ran away.

"Hey..." Thanos, who had already raised his sword to charge or dodge, raised his hand but was unable to stop him. He was speechless for a moment and could only chase after him.

Since the invading dark spirits would not be attacked by the monsters that invaded the world, she had already chanted several bars at the door of Guda when Thanos cleared the monsters along the way to catch up with the intruders.

"Should we just put the Noble Phantasm in? It's just right. We should be able to tell what spirit base is used." Thanos stopped, shouldered the sword, and said "please start your performance".

"Give up! At this point, I can't stop!" The crystallized daughter loudly declared: "Awaken from the original slumber! [The Crown Shining in the Original Universe (Edin Shugurra Quasar)]!"

Following the words, the Dark Spirit's body suddenly became insubstantial, becoming like a door with endless galaxies pouring out, and the main body of this endless galaxy formed an extremely huge one, which was almost the same as her appearance, but her eyes were lifeless. , a woman wearing a bright red dress. While this woman was taking shape, countless dense beams of light shot out from her eyes, and the target was naturally Thanos.

Boom boom boom boom--tsk...

When this attack was completed, the invading dark spirit also disappeared. It was obviously a ultimate move that could only be used once.

"Hmph..." Thanos stood up from his defensive posture with his sword on the ground: "Do you want to hint to me that 'she' is the universe itself? I already knew that. Thank you."

He pulled his sword from the ground and walked towards "Hero Guda" who seemed to have awakened from the movement just now.
