The thunder penetrated the corridor and directly hit the wall behind Shangluo. Shangluo, who was running away, looked back in surprise - this was the first time he had seen such an obvious release of power so far.
Regardless of Apollonia's divination or Helios' oath, these powers were not released to the outside world. Even if he ate the Foundation Establishment Pill, became a demon or vomited blood, and was pierced by the Sun God's Spear, it actually did not have a significant impact on the outside world. Even if "phlogiston" does not exist, even if there is no divination, things can still happen, but the probability of it happening is not that high.
Even if the Sun God's Spear used the oath to restore the few people who tested the medicine, this power tends to be "introverted" and restore things to their original appearance. Without signing a contract with Helios, this power obviously cannot have any impact on him. The only exception is the weight of the Sun God's Spear. Its weight is indeed not consistent with its appearance, and it can really crush people to death.
Only when Phaethon entered the demonized state did he bring visible changes to the surroundings, because the surrounding temperature dropped. The temperature drops, which obviously has nothing to do with the "contractor". He will objectively affect everyone around him.
And the thunder just now completely surpassed all the mysterious powers he had seen before, and its huge power made every pore of his body stand up even now.
[Such a strong spiritual energy... I can actually use this level of power during the Qi training period. It is indeed the 'Path of Origin'. Even if Helios's 'Path of Entropy' reaches the second level, it is difficult to show enough to shake him. The power of objective reality.]
"The Path of Origin? What is that?"
[The original path is the "Tao method" in the usual sense. Explore Tai Chi, which is formless, nameless, inaction, without beginning and end, and explore the path to the origin. One of the powers of the Original Path is to channel phlogiston, infusing it into objects and causing them to sublime. If this object is a person, it is cultivation; if this object is a prop, it can create spiritual objects. What Wen Yuan used just now should be a high-level spiritual object - but such a high-level thing obviously cannot be as simple as a bomb. It is a very precious object. I can feel the threads of many fates tied to it. 】
"No wonder he said there is only one chance... If I can succeed this time, I will thank him then. Where is the spear? Can you feel it?"
[It's not far ahead. If you go around in a circle, you can go back to the previous office. But it had turned black, and all the light had been absorbed by Phaethon. I can see it very clearly because I don't use my naked eyes. You have to be careful not to step on anything on the ground. 】
"All the people she brought are dead?"
[The light has been sucked away, and those will definitely die. There is still a little light left in the spear that has not been taken away. That is because Phaethon is an oathbreaker and cannot touch the Spear of the Sun that symbolizes the oath now... huh? ? ? Wait, there’s more than one blip! I thought I was seeing the Spear of the Sun, but the light was still moving! It's moving! 】
"Huh? What's left in there?"
【have no idea. But that thing is alive, and it is not moving irregularly. It's... it's wandering around the room, it's confused. It overlaps with the Spear of the Sun, and the Spear of the Sun is on it! 】
...
Shangluo's heart sank. He was now unarmed, and even the playing cards used for divination were on the ground. If we follow the saying that "phlogiston gives power", then the phlogiston in the playing cards may have been absorbed by Phaethon.
[Don't care about the playing card. If we survive, we can think about building something more powerful. I already have some ideas, I got some inspiration from Helios. 】
"Then do you have anything that can improve your combat effectiveness? If you stop me with something in front of me, I have to find a way to fight back."
[Let me think about it...I don't have it. But that thing overlapped with the Spear of the Sun, and it was obviously light. If it is light, you should have a unique magic weapon that is specially designed to restrain light. 】
"what?"
[That hammer is the hammer you used to hit me. That hammer once damaged the body of the divine machine, but now it has a 'special attack' against the divine machine. The thing in front of you also contains a high concentration of phlogiston, otherwise I wouldn't have mistaken it for the Spear of the Sun. Your hammer should also be able to deal 'critical damage' to it. 】
Hearing this, Shangluo took out the small hammer. It was an extremely simple metalworking hammer, with a copper handle and a copper head, and the edges were not even chamfered. This is a small hammer that he turned with a machine tool. To the students at Wutaishan Training Center, this is just a small after-school craft in the fifth grade.
"Okay." At this point, holding a small hammer is better than empty hands. He held the hammer in his hand and ran around in a circle back to the side door of the original office. The office has more than one door, and you can enter through this door besides the one you ran out of earlier.
[The light is behind. ] Apollonia reminded, [It seems to have noticed you... It has noticed you. 】
Shangluo swallowed and opened the door.
The light appeared before him——
"Huh?" He stood there holding the hammer and looked at the "light" inside.
It's the white lion. The white lion is lying on top of the Spear of the Sun, pressing the handle of the spear with its paw. Everything around it seemed to have nothing to do with it, it just lay there quietly. However, the wagging tail shows its anxiety.
"Luoluo, your name is Luoluo, right?" Even though he was "relatively familiar", there were still people outside who needed help, so Shangluo plucked up the courage to come forward.
Luoluo raised his head, glanced at him, and continued to lower his head to maintain his strength. Having met Shangluo before, he was a "safety" for the white lion, so the white lion was not interested in him.
"Luoluo, Luoluo." He tried to squat down and lower his center of gravity so that he didn't look so high. "Can you lend me the spear you are holding down? Just for a moment. Lend it to me. .”
The white lion remained unmoved, its tail still wagging anxiously.
"Lolo? Help me? I need this spear. I need to help Phaethon. She is obsessed now - obsessed, you know?"
Hearing the name "Phaethon", the white lion suddenly raised his head.
"You react to the name Phaethon, right? Are you looking for him too?" Lolo whimpered and nodded.
"She's right outside, didn't you see?"
Luoluo didn't respond, his tail wagging with increasing anxiety.
[It no longer recognizes Phaethon. This white lion should also be the pet of Helios. It uses breath instead of observation to confirm the identity of Phaethon. Phaethon became like that. It didn't understand the process. It just felt that Phaethon was lost... It was protecting what Phaethon left behind, and then stayed where it was and waited for Phaethon to come back. 】
"Luoluo." Shangluo came closer, "I know where Phaethon is. Lend me your spear, how about we go find her together? You don't want her to make a big mistake, right?"
The white lion looked into his eyes, seeming to be thinking. After a moment, it made a decision.
Lowering his head and opening his mouth, the white lion held the Spear of the Sun God in his teeth. The weight of the Sun God's Spear has almost lost, making the White Lion himself a little uncomfortable.
Picking up the spear, it looked at Shangluo, waiting for his next move.
[It didn’t trust you, so it let you lead the way. It wants to see with its own eyes what Phaethon looks like now before deciding whether to lend it to you. 】
