After thousands of soldiers evacuated the fortress, they finally arrived at the exit of the underground world after a long journey.
The exit is not a passage that goes straight up and down for tens of thousands of meters, but a fixed space hole that can be directly transmitted to the ground. The daily movement of people and the transportation of supplies all rely on this space hole.
Thousands of soldiers lined up in a long queue and entered the space hole with eager steps. The next second, they returned to the ground and reached the border of the wasteland, very close to the nearby towns.
It happened to be daytime on the ground, the sun was shining brightly, and the sky was clear.
The soldiers who rushed out were stunned when they saw the vast world and the blue sky and white clouds.
The youngest among them also served in the underground world for more than three years and has not returned to the surface for three full years.
Seeing the familiar sky and sunshine again felt like a lifetime ago.
The generals rushed out of the space hole with the unconscious Shireen, and only ordered the soldiers to station on the spot, but did not take the next step.
They didn't know what to do next after giving up such a big thing as the Hell Fortress. They could only wait for Shirin to wake up before making a decision. Only she, the highest officer, could decide what to do next.
Xu Cheng's attack was a bit harsh, and it wasn't until half an hour later that Shilin woke up from her coma.
The dazzling sunlight made her unable to open her eyes for a while. After she got used to it, she realized that her generals were all sitting in a circle around her.
Shirin suffered a slight concussion and was confused about the situation for a moment. She blinked and sat up from the ground after a few seconds.
"Where's the fortress?"
The generals seemed to have become mute one by one. They lowered their heads and said nothing, their eyes avoided, and they did not dare to look at Shirin.
Although they did not answer, Shireen knew that they had abandoned the fortress when she saw the vast world that she had not seen for many years and the soldiers stationed and resting around it.
A surge of extreme grief and anger surged from her heart. Shireen got up from the ground, looked around, and said sternly: "Where is Locke? Has he escaped?"
At this moment, her heart was filled with regret. Why was she so blind that she cultivated this coward as his heir?
No one said anything until Shirin asked again, and a general gave a hesitant answer.
"Locke...stayed to sever the queen for us."
"You...what did you say?"
Shirin's angry expression suddenly froze on her face.
She suddenly reached out her hand, grabbed the other person's collar, and dragged him up from the ground: "What did you say? Say it again!"
"After Locke knocked you unconscious, he let us take you to escape. He stayed alone underground to cut off our aftermath."
"..."
The pupils in Shirin's eyes dilated, and she subconsciously let go of the other person, taking two steps back slowly.
"I was wrong...he is not a coward..."
She whispered to herself, looking around: "You are the cowards."
Everyone was ashamed and did not dare to refute. They indeed followed the steps given by Xu Cheng and escaped without much psychological burden.
Shirin glanced at everyone with hatred, then turned around and ran towards the space hole, but was stopped by her subordinates.
"There's no point in running back."
"The overall situation is more important."
Although Locke is very righteous, what is more important now is the fact that the seal of the Gate of Hell has been pried open.
"You inform the Lord of Life and Arnold about what's going on here, and let them decide what to do."
Shireen looked around coldly: "Get out of my way now."
But the subordinates still refused and asked Shirin to run back and die.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, an extremely violent vibration suddenly came from the wasteland, like an earthquake of more than ten magnitudes. It instantly shook thousands of people out of balance and all fell to the ground.
They looked in the direction of the Gate of Hell in shock, and found that the color of the sky and the earth there had changed, and the earth was overturned.
Could it be that...the door to hell has been completely opened?
Just when everyone was having bad guesses, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Where is the legion commander?"
Everyone looked around, but Shirin was nowhere to be found.
It turns out that she rushed into the space hole and returned to the gate of hell while no one was paying attention.
…………
With the help of Nightmare's body and soul, Saltos was born directly in Xu Cheng's body.
This wave of backdoor listings was so impressive that Xu Cheng even shied away.
Now there are two powers of Akeso and Saltos in his body, and he himself has completely become a puppet, unable to control his body at all.
The power of Sartos suddenly overshadowed Akeso, just like dark clouds covering the green earth, and the sky and earth were dark, completely trapping the God of Life.
Just when Xu Cheng thought that Akeso was counting the time, unexpectedly, a ray of sunshine suddenly penetrated the dark clouds, ushering in light for the dark land.
Akeso's power was also rapidly increasing, and he reached a stalemate with Saltos in an instant.
"You fool, your plan is so ridiculous."
Akeso's vast and majestic voice sounded again, as leisurely as walking in the garden in the afternoon, without any panic at all.
"The gate of hell is your cage, and now you take the initiative to enter this smaller cage. This will be your burial place."
Akeso had long seen through Saltos' plan to go public through a backdoor. He deliberately allowed Xu Cheng to unlock the seal of the Gate of Hell, and did not prevent Saltos from being born in Xu Cheng's body just to let it come. Go to this preset battlefield and solve it in one go.
"Hahahaha, Akeso, do you think I don't know your plan?"
Sartos let out a laughter that shook the world, making the entire underground space tremble: "This is my cage, and it is also your cage. It depends on who of the two trapped beasts can seize the fruits of victory."
Akeso snorted coldly, obviously very dissatisfied with Sartos's metaphor of comparing the two sides to beasts.
Xu Cheng listened to the entire exchange between the two and realized that these two guys were both the sixth among the sixth.
They all knew each other's plans well and made the same arrangements in a targeted manner, trapping each other in small cages and trying to decide the outcome.
As a small chess piece, Xu Cheng has no power to resist. His only role is to provide his body as a battlefield.
The god-level battle has begun!
In just an instant, Xu Cheng's body was torn into pieces and shattered into pieces.
Although he had been strengthened by Akeso once before, his body was obviously unable to withstand the power of the two gods and was destroyed in an instant.
But the next moment, his torn body returned to its original state, as if time had gone backwards.
At this moment, his body is both a battlefield and a cage. In order to trap each other, both Akeso and Sartos maintain this cage in a tacit understanding and constantly strengthen him.
This is the only opportunity to eliminate each other, and neither Akeso nor Saltos are willing to give up.
Xu Cheng's body had just recovered, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, it was torn again, then recovered, and then torn again.
Death, resurrection, death, resurrection, the process repeats itself.
For Xu Cheng, the idiom "life or death" is no longer an exaggerated adjective, but an accurate description.
Moreover, the frequency of death and resurrection is extremely fast. In just a few seconds, Xu Cheng has suffered hundreds of deaths.
Unprecedented pain hit his brain and soul, and the pain caused by each shattering of his bones was far greater than before.
If Xu Cheng's original willpower hadn't been strong enough and had been tempered to become extremely strong over the past twenty years, he might have suffered a mental breakdown in just a few seconds.
At this moment, he hated his tenacity very much, because it meant that he clearly felt the pain of being shattered into pieces and could not escape through coma and shock.
All his consciousness was immersed in this pain, unable to perceive the surrounding environment or observe the battle inside his body.
The fierceness of the battle between Akeso and Sartos cannot be described in words, and the aftermath of their battle is enough to change the surrounding environment.
Terrifying energy spread out from his body like a tsunami, completely annihilating all surrounding matter.
The fortress that had stood firm for hundreds of years under the attack of demons could not stand for even a second before it was completely reduced to dust. The gate to hell was forced to close under the wash of the energy tsunami, and thousands of people were killed. The meter-high rock wall collapsed directly.
Xu Cheng's body was like a small boat in the storm, floating around uncontrollably in the energy tsunami.
No matter where he floats, his surroundings are destroyed.
Gradually, an intricate underground cave was gradually formed amidst Xu Cheng's destruction. If Elizabeth could recognize it here, it was becoming the famous Kurubiyara Cave in later generations.
Time passed very slowly, and for Xu Cheng, every minute was like a year.
The pain that was so intense that it penetrated deep into his soul was torturing him desperately, but at the same time, the pain was the furnace fire and the power of the gods was the hammer, which was constantly tempering his soul and spirit.
His soul, which originally belonged to an ordinary person, quickly became stronger in this process of constant alternation of death and resurrection.
Just like a piece of rough iron ore, it is repeatedly destroyed and reborn in the constant beating, constantly beating away the impurities, leaving the essence.
As if a lifetime had passed, Xu Cheng, who was immersed in pain, suddenly broke free from consciousness.
He was surprised to find that his body was no longer shattered to pieces, but could withstand the battle between Akeso and Sartos. After being shattered to pieces countless times, his body had been strengthened by the two gods to become a A real prison.
But Xu Cheng didn't realize that his originally weak soul was shining like a star at this moment.
It can be said that half of the purpose of entering the gate of hell this time has been accomplished.
The next step is to complete the task.
After Xu Cheng regained consciousness, he immediately began to observe the battle between the two bosses inside his body.
There is no single move in the battle between Akeso and Saltos. Their battle is like two completely different viruses invading and devouring each other.
The battle ranges from micro to macro. Every atom is their soldier, and countless atoms come together to form independent individuals.
Such a battle was full of power and beauty, and Xu Cheng became addicted to it without knowing it, unable to extricate himself.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but the battle between Akeso and Sartos was at a stalemate.
Both sides are trying their best, but their strength is not comparable. Akeso, who represents life, and Sartos, who represents destruction. The two forces are mutually reinforcing each other. No one is stronger than the other, and they fall into a state of mutual consumption. middle.
Xu Cheng's consciousness gradually immersed into a microscopic world, and he found that the surrounding environment had changed.
Countless green branches and black materials are intertwined together to form a huge and messy world.
In the middle of this world, there are only two giants standing tall. On the left is a black giant. His facial features cannot be seen clearly, and he can only see a pair of horns growing on his head.
On the right is a green giant whose face is also unclear. He has long emerald hair and his lower body is covered with flowers and branches.
The two giants grabbed each other's hands and were wrestling with each other, falling into an absolute stalemate.
Xu Cheng, who was as small as an ant, stood between the two giants and was not noticed by them at all.
Xu Cheng couldn't do anything, he could only watch silently.
In this microscopic world, time does not exist. The stalemate between Axso and Saltos may only be one second, or hundreds of millions of years may have passed.
This may only be the situation in a certain atom, but it also represents the entire macroscopic situation.
At some point, the entire chaotic world gradually began to become turbulent.
"Akeso!"
Sartos's voice that shook the world suddenly sounded: "Do you want to die with me?"
"Go back to your world."
Akeso shouted coldly: "Close the gate to hell completely and never come back."
"Okay, let go."
"Foolish thing, do you think I will be fooled?"
Xu Cheng realized that the stalemate between the two sides had reached a certain limit, but neither of them was willing to let go first.
Letting go first means defeat, and it is very likely that the opponent will counterattack.
As if to verify Xu Cheng's guess, the world shook more and more intensely, and countless cracks broke out in the dome.
Akeso and Sartos are still asking each other to let go, but this is doomed to be in vain.
The two sides have fallen into a chain of suspicion. There is no mutual trust between them, and no one can take the initiative to let go.
Xu Cheng discovered for the first time that the gods also had bad mouths and curses at each other, and their quality was extremely poor.
As they cursed each other, the world finally couldn't bear it anymore and collapsed.
At the moment of collapse, Akeso and Saltos let go at the same time, but at the moment of letting go, they attacked each other at the same time.
Of course the whole world couldn't bear their behavior and was finally turned into ashes.
【mission failed】
Xu Cheng, who was affected by Chi Yu, opened his eyes and heard the dog management prompt.
He could only say that he was embarrassed. The two iron-headed boys, Axo and Sartos, died together in the end, but their overflowing energy also killed Xu Cheng at the same time.
There are only two reopenings left, which makes Xu Cheng have to be more cautious.
He watched the replay carefully and then chose to restart, returning to the time when the two sides were still in a stalemate.
Although there is no concept of time in the micro world, the dog management still sent Xu Cheng back.
When he returned to the microscopic world, he suddenly felt two sights that made his heart palpitate, shooting down from the top of his head, directly submerging him.
As gods, Akeso and Sartos are extremely sensitive to time, and their memories are not affected by the reopening. Of course, they still remember what happened before the reopening.
After being surprised, they all turned their attention to the tiny chess piece at their feet.
"Sands of Time?!"
Akeso's voice was extremely surprised. He had not realized before that this tiny human being used by him was actually carrying the power of the Sands of Time.
Is the world coming to an end again?
Although Saltos doesn't understand what the Sands of Time are, he can understand how terrifying this power that can turn back time is.
Being noticed by the two giants at the same time, Xu Cheng felt that Alexander was simply not comparable to the two severely weakened old gods of Elizabeth and Amaterasu.
"Hero of the Sands of Time."
Akeso's voice revealed his enthusiasm: "Hurry up and fight side by side with me to eradicate this ferocious beast that threatens the world!!"
Do you think I'm a hero now? The way he looked at me before was like looking at an ant.
Xu Cheng cursed in his heart, and as a result, all his thoughts could be sensed by the two gods.
"Hahaha!"
Sartos laughed heartily: "Yes, the gods are extremely hypocritical. They only pay attention to things that are useful to them."
"You smile so hard, I can still put on a show, but you sheephead doesn't even pretend!"
Having already offended one, Xu Cheng simply offended the other.
However, Akeso and Saltos have no such thing as face at all, and Xu Cheng's complaints are not even offensive to them.
This microscopic world has once again reached its limit due to the stalemate between the two sides.
"You should understand the responsibility of the Sands of Time!"
Akeso's voice was filled with justice: "Help me defeat the devil in front of me and save the entire world."
"fart!"
Saltos cursed loudly: "I have no power to threaten the entire world. Boy, help me defeat this hypocritical god, and I will grant you status and glory second only to me!"
You might as well say "I, Qin Shihuang, give me money."
Xu Cheng shouted loudly: "What should I do to help you!"
He deliberately didn't say who he was going to help.
Akeso and Saltos simultaneously instilled into Xu Cheng's mind the method of transforming soul into power in this microscopic world.
The whole world began to shake, and countless cracks appeared in the dome.
Akeso and Saltos both looked at Xu Cheng expectantly.
From their memories, they once again confirmed that the enemy was untrustworthy, and whoever let go first would die.
If you want to break the situation of perishing together, you can only rely on this human being.
After digesting the methods instilled by both parties, Xu Cheng activated his soul, jumped up from the ground, and punched Akeso.
He decided to imitate the God-killer Locke, kill the gods first, and then destroy the devil.
"You are the sinner of the world!"
Accompanied by Akeso's angry roar, Xu Cheng punched him in the forehead.
The balance of the stalemate between the gods and the devil was finally broken, and the world began to collapse amidst Sartos's wild laughter.
Endless white light erupted from Akesuo's body, completely drowning Xu Cheng.
【mission failed】
Xu Cheng, who was already dead, was very surprised. It was wrong to follow the old path of the God Killer!
But if you think about it carefully, this is actually no problem, because he saved the lives of Omar and Caroline, and at the same time reported the existence of nightmares to Axel, which in fact changed the God Killer's destiny.
Time went back again, and Xu Cheng returned to the time when he stabbed Akeso in the back.
Akeso and Saltos also gained their memories after reopening, and both looked down at Xu Cheng at their feet.
Before they could speak, Xu Cheng jumped up again and punched Saltos, breaking the stalemate.
"You made the wrong choice!"
Amidst Saltos' angry roar, the darkness that erupted before its death swallowed Xu Cheng directly.
【mission failed】
There is only one last chance to reopen.
Xu Cheng floated in the endless darkness and fell into deep thought for a long time.
Whether it is to help Akeso attack Sartos or to help Sartos attack Akeso, it is a wrong choice.
If the two sides are allowed to help each other, they will also end up dying together.
This seems to be an unsolvable dead end.
After Xu Cheng was silent in the darkness for a long time, he suddenly chose to reopen.
Time went back again. This time, neither Akeso nor Saltos spoke. They just pressed Xu Cheng with their pressure-filled gazes.
They all preserved their memories and knew that this human being had no principles or positions at all, and both sides were his targets.
Now, they not only have to guard against each other, but also to prevent this human from getting violent and hurting others.
"I can resurrect you!"
After a long time, Aksuo suddenly said: "As long as you help me."
"He's lying to you."
Sartos ruthlessly exposed Akeso: "Human, your soul belongs to me. Only I can decide your life or death."
Akeso did not give up: "It is not difficult for me to reshape my soul."
Sartos continued to expose Him: "The re-created soul, is that still the original you?"
The two sides tried to undermine each other and exchanged words, but Xu Cheng stood silently.
Until the entire microscopic world could no longer bear the power of both sides and began to collapse again.
"Human, are you still unwilling to make a choice?"
"I've made my choice!"
Xu Cheng finally spoke. He raised his head and looked up at the two gods who towered over the sky: "If you attack Akeso, his power will erase me after his death. If you attack Sartos, he will take me away after his death." , then the only thing I can do is..."
As he spoke, Xu Cheng's small body expanded rapidly.
The soul that shines like a star in his body is continuously transformed into power in this microscopic world.
His body expanded at the speed of light, and in an instant he became a giant standing tall, standing on an equal footing with gods and demons for the first time.
"Beat you both!"
Amidst Xu Cheng's roar, he punched out both fists, hitting the cheeks of Akeso and Saltos at the same time.
In the astonished gazes of the gods and demons, their cheeks twisted and deformed at the same time, and the stalemate was broken.
Akeso and Saltos died together. After their death, endless white light and darkness erupted, flooding Xu Cheng, but at the same time they were violently consuming each other.
When the two forces came to Xu Cheng, they died together.
