The Master of the Strange Realm

"The sun falls from the sky and will not rise for a hundred years. Darkness and cold winter surround the material world. This is an era without fire, and all that can burn is ashes."

"Then why don't you tell me...forget it, you won't understand what I mean. So who is your enemy? What is this battle for?"

"The final war is for resources and space for survival. The age without fire is coming, and there are not many places in the material world suitable for survival through the end of the world, especially for creatures with huge bodies like us. It’s difficult. We have to compete with almost all alien species, and sometimes we have to compete within the species. This is the meaning of war.”

Titan explained, then turned to look at the setting sun with Jenkins. The setting sun shone on the profiles of the two of them, their expressions a little melancholy.

"The end has happened, so you failed?"

"It's not that we failed, it was the savior who failed. He failed to save everything. In the cycle of eras, we can only wait for the arrival of the next era in the apocalypse. Many people have not been able to survive these difficult days. Just like the current eighteenth century, if you don't save all this, I think human civilization in the material world will end. "

PS: There was a big bug in the last chapter. I forgot that after [My God Is Here] was sold to Jenkins, Hathaway should not have remembered this chain ability due to the characteristics of the ability. The last chapter has been overhauled. Readers who have read the previous chapter, please refresh the chapter and read it again. In the last version, Hathaway did not remember "My God is Here". This ability was proposed by Miss Magic through "Angel Halo".

Chapter 1357 Chapter 1334 The end of the hospital battlefield

"You know the candidate who is my savior?"

Jenkins and Titan sat across from each other on the sunset battlefield. After all, whether he was sitting or standing, he had to raise his head to see the other person's face.

"When I pulled you into my thinking world just now, I observed the mark representing the savior. The color was very beautiful. The last time I saw it, I was not even an adult yet."

Titan didn't seem to realize that Jenkins was a god, and he didn't know whether it was because of his lack of status or his long sleep that his thinking had become slow... The idea that Jenkins opened to him might also lead to this. Kind of slow.

After talking about this, the two of them were silent for a long time. Everything around them is attractive enough to them. For Titan, it is a memory of his past. For Jenkins, this is his first glimpse of the ancient mythical era, which no documents or monuments can prove. era.

The dusk of the doomsday is much more magnificent than the dusk of Nolan. This is the last time the sun sets in this century. The dust of war rolls before our eyes. The dim sunset shines on this tragic battlefield. Only the broken flag in the distance is swaying in the wind. The sound is so real and thrilling.

"So, why did you pull me into your mind?"

After a long time, Jenkins asked.

"I didn't expect you to be able to break through my defense, so in a hurry, I could only bring your consciousness here. This will be the place for our duel, savior. If I can win, it means that I have broken free from the shackles of fate. , gained true freedom; if you can defeat me, it means that I am destined to be your stepping stone to save the Eighteenth Century. My tens of thousands of years of struggle and hard work are just to be defeated by you..."

Titan stood up, and so did Jenkins. Because both of them were facing the sunset, their shadows extended to both sides in a figure-eight shape. A person's shadow is very long, and a person's shadow is very short.

"Saviors, the beings in the mythical age, have already had a glimpse of destiny. We believe that destiny has already written everything since the day the world was born, but we do not believe that there is any way to check the true destiny. Therefore, only The truest fate is what you create. Today's duel could have been avoided, but fate brought us together. Even if we live thousands of years apart, you and I still have to fight for survival...Savior. , This is not only my destiny, but also your destiny."

"Are all lives in the age of mythology so nagging?"

Jenkins thought in his mind, and at the same time felt that the Titan he was talking to in this thinking world did not look like a fallen or corrupted Titan. He was perfectly normal, fitting Jenkins's idea of ​​an ancient wise man.

But now is not the time to think about this matter. This is the world of thinking. All power is a measure of the strength of the heart and soul. Everything can be done by imagination. He reached out and pulled out his cane from the air. After shaking it gently, it grew into a scepter like a tree.

He tapped the ground lightly with the withered vine-like scepter. As the earth vibrated slightly, the giant tree broke out from under his feet and brought Jenkins into the air.

Giant trees with thick roots rose from the ground, spliced ​​and twisted with each other. When they were completely connected together and rose up from the ground to tear off the root system connected to the earth, Jenkins was already standing on the shoulders of a giant tree giant.

"I haven't seen this kind of scene for a long time. The last time I saw it, it was the Linxi War with those pointed ears."

The Titan had no weapons in its hands, so it took two steps back slightly. The two giants looked at each other under the last rays of the setting sun, and then roared at the same time, stepping on the dust of the earth and rushing towards their enemies.

At this time, the last ray of light of the sun disappeared below the horizon, and the era without fire began.

(Fini is praying...can't sleep...)

The atmosphere in the game room was tense. Hathaway took Miss Magic's hand to stop her from continuing the next action. In the shadow area on the ground, a gorgeous golden ritual matrix has been arranged. This is Miss Magic's own divine descending ritual based on the modern divine descending ritual and the ancient chain ability [Angel Halo].

Although the experiment has never been carried out before, and there are very big problems with the theoretical basis. At the same time, due to the emergency situation, many materials cannot be obtained and can only be replaced with defective products, but Miss Magic still thinks it is worth a try.

"Do you have a better way?"

She persisted, and the withered black flower in her hand was about to fall into the center of the formation.

"At least Mr. Candle's cat is still involved in Mr. Corpse. We are not completely hopeless. Mr. Magic, please don't do this. Once the ritual is activated, you will definitely die."

Hathaway is still trying to persuade.

"Mr. Candle's cat can hold on to Mr. Corpse. Do you think it can also hold on to the ancient Titan? Is the cat more powerful than its owner? Mr. Bailing, I think you have actually understood it a long time ago. If this matter hadn't been It is absolutely impossible for God-level power to intervene. While Mr. Candle is still alive, the last curse on Williamt who is far away in Loen has not yet implicated Nolan. Please let me try. , I am willing to make sacrifices.”

The two women were chatting, while the men were still watching the battle unfold on the tabletop. After Mr. Candle jumped back onto the Titan's head again, both parties in the fight suddenly stopped moving. If it weren't for the smoke and dust still flowing in the set, they might have thought the set was broken.

Mr. Corpse was also speechless, at least not until they announced that the explorers were trying to escape again. He didn't even look at the white cat Vanilla, but quietly looked at the Titan in the full-scale scenery on the desktop. After a while, he let out a long sigh:

"it's over."

"What's over?"

"The battle is over."

Mr. Corpse said. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Mr. White Cat actually heard the color of emotion from those words that had always been toneless.

As soon as Mr. Corpse finished speaking, the roar came from the window again, and reflected on the table, the statues of the Titan Giant and the Bone Giant changed color at the same time. After the statue of Mr. Candle began to resume action, both Titan and Bones changed from metal to stone. Both lost their ability to move. At the same time, they also changed from living statues to dead statues.

It was over, the ruins of the hospital were in disarray, and only Mr. Candle was left standing there silently.

Chapter 1358 Chapter 1335 The next target

"......What does it mean?"

Mr. Hood asked, looking at the tragic battle debris on the table.

"In the battle of minds, Mr. Candle defeated the ancient Titan. The Titan's soul was annihilated, and the body used for fighting could not adapt to the rules of this era, and it turned into a stone statue together with the white bones infected by it. That's it... .”

Mr. Corpse explained, the tone of his voice rising and falling louder and louder. If he wanted to describe this emotion, the word "ecstasy" would probably be the most appropriate word.

"we won?"

Miss Magic asked hesitantly, no longer thinking about initiating the unreliable ritual.

"Mr. Candle won. I really didn't expect that after tens of thousands of years, we would be defeated in the hands of a mortal. This is probably fate. In fact, we should have understood long ago that most of the ancient creatures that emerged from the underground were nothing. Good ending, don’t you have similar plots in your human knight novels?”

Mr. Corpse asked, then stood up from his chair under Vanilla's wary eyes. This is one of the few times he has stood up since the start of the game.

"I didn't expect you to also read knight novels... No, since the Titan as the soul and main body of thinking has fallen, why did you..."

Hathaway caught the point immediately.

"You may know something about the thinking device, but our situation is rather special. The main body of Titan's consciousness is composed of two parts. One part is the Titan's original mind and soul, which is the part that was destroyed by Mr. Candle; the other part is The part of the evil power deep underground that it absorbed while sleeping has been integrated into one, but part of it is still separated under the influence of the thinking device..."

"You are the evil part!"

Mr. White Cat shouted, then shrank behind Vanilla.

"It can be said like this."

Mr. Corpse slowly pushed his seat back under the table:

"That Titan is a fool whose brain is half muscle. How could he have devised such a clever escape plan if he only relied on him? When he used the thinking device to separate part of his mind to control his current body, I already had a certain amount of knowledge. Later, by holding parties, constantly luring the party participants into the morgue alone, and controlling and assimilating them with the thinking device, my autonomy became stronger and stronger. Until just now, it was really gone. I'm really free too.

With the Titan's telepathic device, I have controlled no less than a hundred people, both gifted and ordinary people, in the past ten years. My influence is not limited to Nolan, but I have people in Turin on the other side of the continent. It feels so good to break free from that shackles, it feels really good..."

Mr. Corpse's voice was no longer so monotonous, and his tone had ups and downs, and all four of them could feel the emotions contained in it. But this makes this person even more terrifying. After all, human corpses are the scariest thing.

"Do you know why I tell you these things?"

he asked, standing behind the chair with his hands behind his back, looking at the four people and the cat.

"Because you have planned to kill us for a long time, and your secret will not be leaked no matter what... This kind of plot is really too cliche."

Mr. Hood replied, joining the others in standing behind the cat.

"It's very cliché, but I've been in the morgue for so many years, and my limited entertainment is those chivalric novels. You have to be considerate of me."

Mr. Corpse replied unhurriedly.

Tick ​​tock~

The clear sound of dripping water reached my ears, and the black water immediately overflowed the shadows and surrounded the cats and the players.

"You don't really think that I'm no match for that cat, do you? No, no, no, the only terrible enemy I have ever encountered since I gained consciousness underground is the machine directly below Nolan. Other than that, Invincible.

Do you know why I've been blocking your explorers from leaving? This is for insurance. Before the end of the game, you will never be able to leave this room, and no one outside the room will be able to help you, including Mr. Candle... Now, let's see who can save you! "

Under the dark sky was noisy Nolan. Due to the sudden earthquake, the city was in chaos. People rushed out of their houses and rushed onto the street despite the rain, trying to choose the most open location.

But this is not the first earthquake this year, so people living in Nolan can accept the current situation and actively carry out self-rescue. But the occasional thunder that sounded like the roar of wild beasts from the horizon, and the phantom of the running giant that just appeared in the city, really frightened the timid girls.

Bored people thought of ancient myths and speculated whether some giant dragon was flying over the outskirts of Nolan. The actual situation is more complicated than they thought. They can't guess the truth, just because the dragon is more famous than the Titan.

Jenkins, who woke up on top of the petrified giant, looked around blankly. The vines also disappeared, leaving only five [Desecrated Seeds] at his feet. His bone giant and the Titan were turned into stone statues, and the sword and staff were inserted into the skull of the bone giant, soaking in the rain silently.

"finished?"

He was silent for a while, suddenly feeling a little confused. So he withdrew his two weapons, checked the surrounding fighting environment and found no trace of himself, jumped to the ground and burned the sixth skeleton that could help the Titan escape, and then flew to the black sky on a unicorn. Nolan under the clouds.

First, he has to get his cat back. Jenkins believes that Chocolate doesn’t want his beautiful fur to get wet from the rain, so it must still be waiting for him on the stairs. As for the curse on his body and Nolan’s lingering curse, this matter can be left to Alexia takes care of it, chocolate is the most important thing now.

The rain was heavy and moving through the air was not easy. Jenkins lay on the back of the unicorn, summoned the ability light spot, and then saw that the empty bubble he had obtained because of the game had been filled, and it was a bright red——

[Power of Titan (Red Martial Arts)].

A very simple and clear ability. When standing on the earth, your strength increases, your physique becomes stronger, and your self-healing ability becomes stronger. When you are not standing on the earth, your resistance to various extraordinary spells and curse rituals increases.

This is a very well-known red fighting ability. The contemporary way to obtain it is to go to the legendary island in the outer sea that is suspected to be the cemetery of the ancient titan for a trial with the help of the [Church of War and Victory], and only ten people are qualified each year. , less than half of them come back alive every time.

Chapter 1359 Chapter 1336 Chasing in the Rain

"I've taken advantage of this."

Looking at [Titan Power], Jenkins thought in his heart. At the same time, he did not forget to activate [Life Origin] with his hand on the unicorn's back, hoping to help his mount resist the wind and cold. The unicorn chirped happily and flew towards Jenkins' destination at a faster speed.

"Strange, why do I seem to hear the voice of a unicorn?"

The professor holding an umbrella on the ground hesitantly raised his head and looked at the sky, but could only see dense black clouds. The father on the side also raised his head, but also heard nothing:

"It's an illusion, Burns. Have you heard the sound of a unicorn before?"

Dad asked curiously.

"Two years ago in ancient ruins, my companions and I found a stone slab that could record sounds. Many interesting ancient sounds were recorded on it. But then we had to smash the stone slab because the long sound recording contained , a murmur appears every ten seconds, chanting the corrupting incantations of the Dark/Bible.”

They were walking in the direction of the church. The sudden heavy rain and earthquake aroused Dad's vigilance. Later, the giant's roar made him sure that something was wrong today. It happened that the professor came to visit, so the two planned to go to the church to have a look, maybe they could help.

"Speaking of which, it's been weeks since Jenkins left Nolan."

The professor sighed, and then hurriedly added:

"I'm not accusing him of being a disaster star, but disasters and disasters often appear around him. Maybe there really is some strange curse on Jenkins. Oliver, I suggest you let him go to the church for a careful examination. Maybe it will Useful. Speaking of which, how is Jenkins doing now? Has he contacted you again?

"He is now living in the home of a princess from the Stuart royal family. How do you think he is doing?"

Dad said with a chuckle, and the professor immediately showed an understanding expression.

The two of them walked quickly along the avenue towards the church in the city. It was obviously a rainy day, but the streets were full of pedestrians. Most of the citizens were carrying boxes or small bundles, which were valuables they had rescued before escaping from their homes.

Suddenly a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by rumbles of thunder from overhead. This kind of power displayed by nature made mortals unable to help but feel fear deep in their hearts. Dad heard the young girl holding the child nearby sobbing softly.

"Let's hurry up. I think things may not be simple today."

Dad said to the professor, who nodded, so they walked through the dense flow of people holding their umbrellas high, and then heard people screaming in front of them. Looking towards the sky along their raised fingers, they just saw a dark thing flying from high altitude, and then hit the outer wall of the three-story masonry building a street away, where it seemed It is the office building of the Nolan City Defense Force in the city.

After the black shadow, one could vaguely see through the rain curtain that the person riding the unicorn also appeared in the field of vision, and collided with the black shadow that flew up again, and then the two flew into the distance one after the other. .

"This is......"

The professor said in surprise.

"The one who rides the unicorn is a believer in lies. That black shadow... I don't know what it is, but it is filled with malice and the rotten smell of corpses. Could this be the culprit today?"

Dad said hesitantly.

Jenkins in the sky didn't know that his "appearance" was witnessed by his father and professor. When he came outside the game room to pick up his cat, he realized that his cat was not where it was at all.

In a hurry, I didn't know what to do. Then the nearby door opened, and Mr. Hood and Mr. White Cat rolled out. Then Hathaway helped Miss Magic and walked out, while the cat walked out behind Hathaway.

As soon as it saw Jenkins, it meowed immediately, then rushed to Jenkins' feet with an aggrieved look and asked him to pick it up.

While comforting his cat, Jenkins raised his head to ask others what was wrong and why his cat was like this. But as soon as he raised his head, he saw Mr. Corpse walking out of the room last, and the black water under his feet formed a pool, following his steps as if consciously.

Jenkins became furious immediately. It was obvious that although Titan was dead, Mr. Corpse did not die through some unknown means. He wanted to kill his friends and Hathaway, and also implicated the cats who were waiting for their owners to return. Now he wanted to kill them all, but fortunately he even returned.

"what are you up to?"

As he spoke, he drew his sword, and then performed a high-altitude pursuit over Dad and the professor.

Although Mr. Corpse was a demigod, he seemed to be seriously injured, and he allowed Jenkins to chase him without fighting back. Jenkins guessed that it was because his body died, causing the human body controlled by the body to be implicated.
