The Master of the Strange Realm

Wow~

While Jenkins and Pompeii looked at each other wordlessly, Duke Antac pushed away the coffin, picked up his clothes from the side and put them on, and then walked down the stairs that barely maintained their shape.

From the corner of his eye, he could see his triumphant look. He was right. At least this time, the stage really went as he thought.

"Is this the sword's new ability? I'm curious as to how many numbered items you grabbed today."

Jenkins quipped.

"Believers of the God of Lies, let me say this for the last time. I have no intention of being hostile to you. After this incident, I will leave Nolan. There is no conflict of interest between you and me. If you want to kill that fool just now, I have no objection at all.”

"Pompei, I hope you can understand. Even if you hold that sword now, I am still the strong one, and you are not qualified to negotiate with me!"

The twin demons that had been charged for a long time finally rushed out from behind Jenkins, but they only blew a big hole in the skeleton wall that appeared out of thin air.

The scattered human limbs did not stop moving after they landed in the tower. On the contrary, they spliced ​​together into new skeletons with a heart-wrenching sound, and continued to crawl towards Jenkins.

There was a loud explosion, as if fire that could ignite everything burst out of Jenkins' body. But he didn't let the body and the flames completely merge. He just let the eternal fire surround his body and burn the nearby skeletons.

Step by step, he walked forward to the gap on the side of the clock tower, and continued to look at Scrooge Pompeii on the skeleton ship through the cold wind and thick fog.

"Of course my own abilities are no match for you, but I'm also pretty sure that you are no match for this sword either."

The strange thing was suspended quietly on the side of Pompeii's body. Compared with the previous few times we met, it looked much more restrained. But at the same time, the power contained in it and the weird feeling became stronger.

Pompeii's voice suppressed the ubiquitous whispers just right. The whispers seemed to cater to his words, showing a low and terrifying tone.

"If you don't give it a try, how can you be sure that I am not your opponent? Although A-12-1-0044 is indeed powerful and can be called the most powerful weapon in this era, this does not mean that it has no opponents."

"Follower of the God of Lies, you are right, but I can tell you clearly. My sword has told me the fact that there is nothing in the material world of this era that can defeat it head-on... ..."

This proves that the Skeleton Sword also has the ability of divination and anti-divination, and it does have a certain degree of wisdom.

"Unless a miracle happens, the probability that you can defeat me is very low. Think about it, you and I don't actually have any conflict of interest."

Pompeo's confidence is obviously not as strong as he thought, otherwise he wouldn't have been talking nonsense with Jenkins for so long. There is a reason why Jenkins took the trouble to talk to him. He is looking for a sign that can trigger destiny.

"A miracle happens..."

Mr. Writer murmured to himself, and he realized that the word "miracle" had also been spoken once by the Duke who had just escaped.

"So, I want to defeat you, unless I am as lucky as the leading actor in a play."

This is a very critical question. Although it does not play any role in a practical sense, this is an idealistic world, and sometimes it may only be a word that determines victory or defeat.

It's a pity that Scrooge Pompeo didn't understand this. He only saw the black demon shadow emerging from behind Jenkins again, and didn't realize the strangeness of this problem.

"Yes, that's it. The possibility of you defeating me is almost zero, unless you are as lucky as the leading actor in a drama... Do you want to go to Antak for help? I think that fool should No such decision will be made.”

Chapter 911 Chapter 894 Misjudgment

"It's done!"

As soon as Pompei finished speaking, Jenkins couldn't help but cheered in his heart, and then quickly summoned the light spot of his ability and focused his consciousness on the [unknown road ahead].

The clear purple line of destiny immediately passed through the fog and extended into the distance, which seemed to be the direction of St. George Street.

"As expected, the way to defeat him is to find the next person who represents the savior's qualifications."

Although Jenkins still doesn't fully understand the starting method of [Unknown Road Ahead], at least he understands that sometimes he just needs some unimportant information fragments.

Now that Pompeii has admitted to possessing the [Stage] Mystery Lock and the possibility of defeating it, it makes no sense for Jenkins to stay here.

"Goodbye, see you next time."

Jenkins lowered his head slightly, and the black demonic shadow rushed straight upward, and the explosion overturned the entire top of the bell tower. The violent explosion and astonishing sound could be heard by half of the city. When Jenkins disappeared little by little, through the monocle, he could already see the demigods in the distance rushing towards here.

"If the demigods could finish off Pompeii at the Bell Tower, things would be easier."

Jenkins thought this in his mind when he stood up from under the giant tree. But if things were really that simple, they wouldn't be as bad as they are today.

He raised his head and looked at the sky over the lush branches and leaves. The abnormality in the urban area of ​​Nolan City has gradually spread here. The black clouds and the gloomy wind and fog are trying to penetrate into the dense forest.

But this forest formed by many coincidences has extraordinary power. If you observe from a high altitude, you can find that the forest itself is emitting a faint green light, like a lonely lighthouse in the endless deep sea, protecting the lives in the forest.

"Okay, I have found a way to win. It's time to end it all."

He thought to himself and comforted the impatient cat. Seeing that it showed signs of conflict with the group of rabbits next to it, he could only project back to St. George Street with the cat.

Fate clearly guided Jenkins to his basement and pointed out the box in the sealed compartment.

The box contained all the items seized in the last [Unrecordable Gun] incident, including the information obtained from the old killer.

After opening the box, the first thing he saw was the brick-thick "Introduction to Playwrights", which was the book where the old killer hid the occult information. Jenkins had never opened it since he got it, but after opening it, he found that it recorded the learning method of [Storyteller (Golden Divine Art)].

"Ha~ Sure enough, fate is guiding me to learn [Stage] Mystery Lock... Hmm?"

He immediately realized that he had made a wrong conclusion, because the purple line was not trying to guide Jenkins to open the book, but just now the book happened to appear on the path of fate's guidance.

After picking up the book, the guidance of fate did not move at all, still pointing to the inside of the box.

He hesitated for a long time, looking at the book in his hand and then at the box, not understanding what was going on at all.

"Could it be that the key to defeating the Skeleton Sword is not the [Stage] Mystery Lock?"

As of the time he returned home, Jenkins already had three of the five constituent abilities of the stage mysteries: [Player (White Basic)], [Storyteller (Golden Divine Art)], [String Manipulator (Blue Alien)], [Performer (Red Fighting)], and [Stage Building (Yellow Spell)].

All three abilities come from various accidents, so Jenkins mistakenly thought that the key to solving the current dilemma lies in gathering the last [Storyteller] and [Performer].

But now it seems that it is not, he misunderstood, the key to breaking the deadlock has nothing to do with the [Stage] puzzle lock.

"So, what is going on?"

"Meow!"

Chocolate knew, but it just quietly climbed on the man's shoulder without giving any hints.

Touching his well-behaved cat, he leaned over and groped in the box, and finally touched the remaining bearing after the [Unrecordable Gun] disintegrated.

The purple line of fate immediately began to guide the next step. In the following time, Jenkins successively got the remaining "pointer" after the disintegration of C-08-2-2218 [Stopped Clock], the remaining "wooden leg" after the self-explosion puppet exploded, the "two wooden hearts" except the elderberry heart, B-01-3-8222 [Stone of Life], and the mature B-01-5-0718 [Fantasy Flower] temporarily sealed by the Holy Silver Box.

"Bearings, pointers, wooden legs, wooden hearts, stones of life, fantasy flowers...what do they mean? Can Pompeii be killed with these things?"

He didn't understand, but it didn't matter, because the guidance was not over yet. When Jenkins collected these items, the purple line suddenly changed direction and extended to the distance.

Jenkins hesitated for a few seconds, and decisively summoned the unicorn to fly into the sky with the cat. While listening to the unusual explosions and fighting sounds near the bell tower, he followed the purple line to the destination.

From above, a black tide appeared in the city, spreading from the alleys and streets that extended in all directions to the entire city. Jenkins originally thought it was a change in the fog, but later he found that it was actually a terrifying number of undead legions.

The wandering souls who didn't know the height of the world even wanted to attack the writers passing by in the sky, but the sacred unicorn could kill those monsters representing the power of death by instinct alone.

The church's gifters fought fiercely with the undead in the city, and not only the church's gifters, but all the living people active in the city were fighting.

Even though the fog and dark clouds turned the day into night, the lights and frequent explosions turned the night into day.

The revived low-level undead were not strong, but their numbers were terrifying. In the short term, the living people would not suffer any losses, but the longer the time, the more likely the city would fall completely.

Jenkins had to solve these problems quickly, but the only thing he didn't expect was that the destination was the Sage Church.

At this time, the door of the church was open, and unconscious clergy and believers could be seen lying in a mess inside, but the only thing he didn't see was the church's scribes moving.

He thought again and again, and changed back to Jenkins' appearance before approaching there. After all, being discovered sneaking back to the city of Nolan was just a small matter. If he was witnessed as "the believers of the God of Lies took advantage of the church's suffering and broke into the church to steal things", it would really be hard to explain.

Section 912 Chapter 895 Equivalent Exchange (1/10)

Jenkins' luck was pretty good today. Most of the scribes went out to fight the army of the undead. A few were guarding in front of the Gate of All Things and were not in the buildings on the ground. There were some metal bars and the remains of ritual objects scattered in the corridor. It seemed that the church had used more than one numbered object to participate in the battle outside. The common containment devices were scattered in the corridor.

Jenkins finally opened the door of the innermost room on the third floor in the building near the garden. Although there was a special lock on the door, as long as he put the water of grace in to remember the shape, and then used reading and writing to compare the shape to make a key, Jenkins could solve the problem without even destroying the lock and the door.

After pushing the door and walking in, the curtains were drawn tightly. The room was terribly empty. Only a few dim red spots could be seen on the wall far away from the door.

Holding the mining lamp high to illuminate the room, the strange machine embedded in the wall came into view. The metal hose like a blood vessel connected the machine and the wall together. The weird shape of order and chaos gave the machine a weird mechanical beauty that transcended the aesthetics of the times.

"B-08-2-8214..."

B-08-2-8214, [Equivalent Exchange Vending Machine]. After putting anything into the drawer on the left side of the machine, pull the machine switch, and the right drawer will give out another item of equal value.

This is an item seized by the Sage Church during the blood-sucking incident. Because the [All-Knowing Treasure Mirror] consumed most of the machine's energy in order to replace its own soul, it temporarily lost the ability to move in random space.

After the church contained it, it believed that as long as the energy was continuously consumed, it could completely complete the permanent containment of this item.

This is not a fantasy, because in the following three months, this theory was perfectly supported by practice.

But this containment has a fatal flaw, that is, when B-08-2-8214 is activated, it must not be placed behind the Gate of All Things, otherwise the machine will absorb the power of the gate, turning the consumption of energy into absorption of energy.

Perhaps the church is experimenting with this thing again today, so it will move it to this room outside the Gate of All Things. And the target that the [Gate of All Things] guides Jenkins to find is this thing.

"No way..."

Jenkins suddenly felt that he understood everything. He was so obsessed with the so-called savior that he ignored the simplest way to solve the problem.

It is not a miracle that defeats the Skeleton Sword, but real power. He was wrong from the beginning. Pompey was right just now, "In the material world of this era, there is no weapon that can be defeated by this sword", so Jenkins has to find a way to create a new weapon.

"The Savior Emblem is simply misleading!"

He was so obsessed with the Savior Emblem that he ignored the power he already had, so his fate has not been guided for a long time. But fortunately, it is not too late to wake up now. Although the current situation is bad, it is not yet irreversible.

He walked quickly to the machine and put the mining lamp on the ground. The cat jumped off his shoulder and stood aside, watching Jenkins's actions curiously.

Open the drawer on the left side of drawer B-08-2-8214 and put the three hands from C-08-2-2218 [Stopped Table Clock] in.

"It's good this way. After all, these three things are always a calamity in my hands. The Mechanicus's benefactor is still looking for the culprit of the clock's damage."

Put the leg of the self-destructing puppet from the Blizzard Villa in it.

"I always feel that the puppet wants to avoid being arranged by fate, but in the end it was arranged clearly... This wooden leg has helped me for the second time."

Put the bearing of the pistol that cannot be recorded in it.

"It turns out that I have collected so many strange things for so long."

Put the two wooden hearts that I collected with great effort in it.

"Well, it seems that the elves' potion has to start again."

Put the stone of life purchased in the transaction in it.

"The last stone is indeed used to strengthen weapons."

Pick up the fantasy flower that has been nurtured for nearly half a year. The moment the hand touches the flower, the pure white light illuminates the dim room. Although the appearance has not changed, Jenkins can feel that its essence has changed.

"The moment it is held, it can have the power that the holder needs... I should have thought of it long ago, isn't this a universal synthetic material?"

But the purple line did not disappear, it pointed to Jenkins, which means that materials still need to be added.

"No way..."

Put in the new water of grace.

"I haven't used it many times..."

Put in the wooden dagger that was broken into three pieces.

"Okay, the God of Music really expected all this."

But it's still not over. Jenkins felt great pressure. Although he had a rich family background, he couldn't stand such a toss. But in order to save the city and friends where he lives, he must continue. Nolan is the home of strangers and the only survival base for lonely people.

The last material should be expected. Jenkins had guessed it long ago.

With trembling hands, he put the [Life Orb] into the drawer on the left side of the machine, and the purple line finally disappeared.

Jenkins gasped heavily, feeling that these few short minutes were extremely exciting. If he still needed to continue to invest [Gift] in, he really couldn't stand it.

"That sword originated from the ancient era and absorbed countless numbered items. Of course, a powerful weapon is needed to defeat it. But..."

Even after investing so many materials and items, Jenkins still didn't think that the equivalent exchange would be able to defeat the skeleton sword. That sword is one of the most powerful weapons in the material world. Jenkins once thought that it was unmatched except for the power of gods.

But now it can only be like this, he has to trust the guidance of fate. He stood up with gritted teeth, then kicked the drawer with one foot, and the loud noise scared the cat watching the fun.

He reached out and pulled the lever on one side of the machine hard, and the rumbling sound kept ringing as the machine turned on.

This was a scene Jenkins had never seen before. The azure light overflowed from the metal joints of the machine in front of him, and the metal hoses connecting various parts of the machine kept pulsating. A kind of oppressive energy burst out rapidly, and the sourceless wind suddenly appeared, making Jenkins unable to open his eyes.

In a trance, he even heard a sigh, but he looked up and looked around and couldn't find anyone.

The writer who had come into contact with fate felt that something very important was happening, but he could not understand the reason for this feeling.
