"Flame, the original fire! The fire-protecting nuns inherited from the first era are looking for the first flame that heralds the fate of the world!"
The flames rushed toward Shade. He stepped forward and continued to smash the door in front of him, regardless of what the other party said.
"Witches, emperors of the fifth era! Have the witch emperors, who have already discovered that the world is coming to an end, really not prepared anything for the future world when the afterglow of their era fades? Have they really all left?"
The beautiful faces turned into black light rushed toward Shade, and the last one was the simple and solemn holy emblem of the witch.
Shade's force on the door became stronger and stronger, and the fire almost melted everything in front of him into molten iron.
"The Church, the god who inherits the power of the ancient gods! Do the devout believers who are still struggling to support the order of the material world after the ancient gods leave, really know nothing about the future!"
With a bang, Shade punched a big hole in the life ring. The prayer whispers of countless devout believers came to his ears, and Shade seemed to really see countless priests, priests and clergymen praying to the sky, the earth, and the world, but he didn't care at all.
"There are also those ancient associations of soothsayers and prophets who are trying to see into the future! When civilization is heading for extinction, what is it that uses the power of civilization and enlightenment to weave it into a huge ritual, trying to reuse the elements of enlightenment to gather together those who are about to fall apart? civilization?"
Countless Rhodes card phantoms were swept by the strong wind in the flames, and rushed towards Shade. Shade suddenly stopped swinging his sword:
"What did you say? What are the Rhodes cards?"
"Stories from the past! Ancient legends! Folk anecdotes! Modern civilization! The prophets use enlightenment elements, weave all the information about past, present and future civilizations into a web, and use the Rhodes cards that have become part of the development of civilization to gather together a few The weak light of world civilization! This is the ceremony of enlightenment, this is the ceremony of civilization, this is the grandest salvation ceremony in the sixth era!
Why do you think I wanted to study the Rhodes card and the Impermanence card in the first place! "
Shade looked at him in astonishment. On the Rhodes card that came to him, there were [Ancient Fairy Tales], [Northern Cities], [Old World Style], [Carsonlik Southern Folklore], [King's Secret Order], [ History of New World Development], [Rites of Passage], [Old World Minerals], [Phantom Opera House], [Circus Tragedy], [Shacadie Story], [Sad Opera], [Modern Girl], [The Age of Steam] , [Words of the Era], etc., etc., the patterns of many series of cards flashed one by one.
"There are also cultists, and those ring magicians that you think are crazy! Transform into stone, dive into the deep sea, sublimate into light, recreate the golden bloodline, return to the age of ancient dragons, and compete for the king of the world in war and chaos! All of it , all in order to find a way for everyone to survive in the doomsday that is bound to come!"
All the cultists and cult rituals that Shade encountered in the past transformed into fire and rushed towards him, but they all disappeared in an instant.
"Laplace Klein, Howard, what on earth did you see!?"
“I saw it, I saw it all.
Miracle! Angel of resurrection! Watch and help the civilization making its last stand!
Blasphemy! The demon who whispers blasphemy is also trying to survive and find a way forward for the future!
Enlightenment! Civilization has chosen a way out for itself, and fate has chosen a special hero, looking forward to becoming one and saving all lives!
Whisper! Whispers are the last words of the world! I saw it, I finally saw it! "
After the faces of Priest August, Dr. Schneider, and Dorothy flashed one by one, the fortune teller hiding behind the door howled crazily. This was his most rude moment tonight:
"The female diviner who returned from the era of destruction! The Destroyer who destroyed the world countless times! The Daughter of Destruction who travels through time, all fighting to continue civilization!"
Purple eyes stared at Shade as if in fire. Shade finally lowered the sword in his hand, and felt as if his head was struck by thunder for a moment:
"Miracle is the angel, Blasphemy is the devil, Enlightenment is the savior chosen by civilization, and Whisper is Luvia who witnessed the end of the world. The four people in the group just correspond to the four elements? Why? Why is this happening?"
"You understand! You finally understand!"
The fortune teller behind the brass door seemed to be completely affected by evil spirits. He laughed, but also seemed to be crying:
"There are never any coincidences, everything is to keep the world alive.
Whispering poems guide the fate of the chosen ones, but who knows what our future will bring? Not only them, but countless people are preparing for the day that is bound to come. Those who have glimpsed the shadow of the doomsday from the ancient voices, from ancient knowledge, and from the most obscure and difficult documents are doing so. Prepare yourself. "
A group of people headed by Old John from the "Guiding Light Monastery", Mr. Edmond, and Granny Natalie, covered their appearance with hoods, walked towards Shade in the fire, and then suddenly not see.
"Shad Hamilton! Why are you so arrogant?
So many people, and even civilization itself, are working hard to continue the world. Why do you always think that your ideas, your plans, and your goals are the right ones? Is it just because you had a glimpse of the destroyed past? Or maybe you don't care at all about the fate of other people besides you and them? "
Shade raised the sword again and swung it towards the brass door in front of him. With a huge roar, the door finally collapsed completely under Shade's charged blow, and the big sword hit the hysterical fortune teller behind.
This sword did not kill him, but instead knocked out the [Door in the Bottle] that had dense cracks in his body. All the damage from the last blow was borne by it. The ancient evil thing corresponding to the "sealed space", "distorted truth" and "out of control origin", whispering crazy whispers and twisted knowledge, finally lost everything. ability to resist.
Laplace Klein Howard, who was separated from the evil thing, looked even weaker. He glanced at Shade in the fire who stretched out his big hand towards the evil thing. When Shade was not looking at him, he turned around again. He disappeared, but Shade could clearly feel where he had gone.
Ignoring the fortune teller who left again, Shade maintained the fusion state at the moment, held the glass conical flask, landed in the fire, and strode to the center of the sea of fire.
Only the circular area in the center of the sea of fire did not have any flames. The ground here was covered with complex patterns and ritual symbols, but the ritual seemed so simple.
In the center of the standard circular space, there stood a white stone statue that Shade was very familiar with.
Standing on the stone platform is a man with two heads, both of which have no faces. He holds a book in his left hand and points forward with his right hand. The direction the finger points to is Shade's current position. The statue is wearing a rolled-up floor-length robe, barefoot, and the radiating lantern placed next to its feet is the flame of the first fire:
"Why does this lantern look so similar to mine? Is this the entrance to the space maze? The statue of the ancient god [Original Crack]! Wait, then those white mist can't be..."
Everything has become reasonable. Time and the fire have not left any traces on the statue. And the existence of this statue of the ancient god is the real reason why a wisp of fire from the First Fire was able to seal the island for several epochs.
Before that, Shade had never thought that the truth turned out to be like this, but at this moment, he felt that only in this way everything was completely reasonable.
His tall figure became blurred in the fire, and the black bell tower disappeared in the fire. Shade and Sister Devlin appeared in the sea of fire together.
Shade breathed heavily, feeling even more exhausted. He handed the blindfold stuck on his left arm to the nun who lowered her head and closed her eyes, not wanting him to see what he looked like at this time. After the nun put the blindfold back on, she held the [Door in the Bottle] in one hand and lifted the oil lamp at the foot of the statue of the ancient god with the other hand.
This lantern is clearly the same as the lantern Sha De got from [Sin Mansion].
The ritual matrix that had been shining on the ground for tens of thousands of years finally dimmed its light. The ground was shaking, and the already broken sealing ceremony completely collapsed due to the departure of the core items.
But the next second, the huge golden ritual matrix of the sun, moon and stars lit up again on the ground. The dark time key turned into a ball of light and floated in front of Shade:
"In the name of Luvia Anat."
The light extended to the left and right sides in his hand until it turned into a straight black staff.
Under the gaze of the nun, Shade stood in front of the statue of the ancient god with a staff:
"Originally, I was worried that only the kiss of the tree would not be enough to seal this place. I didn't expect that the statue of the ancient god was also there, so there should be no problem. The ancient god of time, the father of the infinite tree, the ancient god of space, the original rift, please Bless me in infinite time and boundless space, please bless me to protect this world.”
He hit the ground with his staff in both hands, and the emerald green light spread from the bottom of the long staff into the sea of fire until the shadow of the giant green tree stood behind Shade and the statue.
At the same time, amidst the rumbling vibrations of the island, everyone on the island saw a giant tree of normal color beneath the black hole in the still gradually shrinking night sky and behind the giant blood-red tree. It rises from the ground until the green tree crown and the blood-red tree crown are spliced together.
The ground was still shaking, and several huge cracks appeared under the trunk of the giant bloody tree. The flames bursting out from the depths of the underground cracks almost immediately ignited the big bloody tree behind Edwards' old house. The blazing trees made the fiery giant tree even more dazzling. This was the firewood that Sister Devlin had long admired.
