The huge spiritual dragon immediately began to struggle in pain.

At this time, Edward also successfully [Break Free] the influence of battle hypnosis. The ancient gears in his eyes slowly turned, and with the bonus of [Amplification], a large amount of spirituality surged, and he used [Degeneration] on the Mind Dragon.

Unlike the previous times when the effects of degradation were immediate, this time Edward felt that the other party was like an old and dilapidated machine. It was rusted and rotten all over. Various gears and bearings were stuck together and could not be moved at all.

He could even hear a faint creaking sound in his ears, and he had no choice but to continue injecting spirituality and forcibly move the corrupt gears, driving the broken bearings one by one.

His eyes seemed to see through the gray-white scales of the Mind Dragon, and saw the blood and bones in His body, the blood surging in His meridians, His slowly beating heart, and His countless cells contaminated by dark liquid.

Next second.

Rumble.

The gears rotated smoothly, driving the bearings and connecting the chains, making the entire "machine" move - except that this movement was reverse.

In just a moment, the aura of the Mind Dragon quickly decayed and weakened, dropping from Sequence 2 to Sequence 3, and from Sequence 3 to Sequence 4, and it was still slowly declining.

This is not normal!

Edward was shocked. Although he had successfully made Zaratul [Degenerate] before, he only made him drop to Sequence 3, and it only lasted for two or three seconds.

However, now that the spiritual dragon, which was polluted by a higher level and had the personality of the Dragon King, was releasing water like a floodgate, losing two sequences in a row?

Could it be that the good luck brought by the little snake took effect?

Without thinking too much, Edward used the lightning storm again and took out his wand to throw out dark green Avada Kedavra curses.

Scales flew and fell off, blood gushed and splashed, destructive lightning spread through the dragon's flesh and blood to the entire body, and the dark green killing curse quickly consumed his soul.

The giant dragon of the mind struggled in pain. His pupils sometimes turned light gold, sometimes turned deep black. His body sometimes turned transparent, and sometimes became illusory.

Just when Edward thought he was going to die, the degeneration effect disappeared, and the Mind Dragon quickly recovered from the brink of falling to Sequence 5, and once again possessed the strength of a Sequence 2 angel. ~Seeking help from a book - 'Crown+Lung\Joy^Desecration.

His condition instantly became stable again, and then he exhaled a breath of dragon, along with puddles of flesh and blood, towards Amon and Edward. While corroding the illusory doors, he flapped his wings and flew up, transforming into one illusory giant dragon after another, flying towards the two of them.

Disappeared.

Edward immediately realized that He was going to attack his consciousness from the deeper ocean of his subconscious mind - this is the truly powerful and terrifying realm of the audience path, and it is the way of fighting they are best at!

In previous battles, the Mind Dragon had never made a similar attempt, and Edward thought that it might have been interfered with by Erihog and could not be used.

In the secret spiritual world, a pitch-black spiritual dragon flew between spiritual islands, quickly searching for the one that truly belonged to Edward.

He continuously spewed out dragon breath and used deterrence to stir up a terrifying mental storm in the surrounding collective subconscious sea, causing it to hit Edward's island of consciousness again and again.

At the moment when Edward's mind was exposed, it flapped its wings and flew into the island that symbolized him, invading Edward's mind.

But at this moment, endless gray-white mist surged out, and the surrounding collective subconscious ocean and spiritual islands all disappeared. Then one ancient stone pillar after another grew out from the surroundings, and colorful flowers bloomed rapidly, turning this place into a garden surrounded by gray-white mist in the blink of an eye.

In the garden, there was a bronze round table and thirteen bronze chairs. A man whose face could not be seen sat on the main seat and stared at the Mind Dragon calmly. Although Edward was panicking, he pretended to be calm:

"Welcome."

The deep black in the Mind Dragon's body surged crazily, and the blue cracks in its dark pupils emitted a devouring light. It opened its mouth and uttered a strange sound that was neither that of Erihog nor that of Angerwede:

"Tianzun!!!"

Shit, this voice...could it be that "God"?

The personality sealed behind the throne by the Dragon King in the Hall of Honesty is suspected to be polluted by the Chaos Sea, which was split when the previous God "fell", and His consciousness must remain - that is to say, the personality of the Dragon King may not be as simple as being polluted by the Chaos Sea, but more likely that God's consciousness revived in His body, which split off this part of the personality and sealed it behind the throne of the City of Miracles. ~Swoosh￠船`暁^税务`蛧? /追·醉^歆·璋-节?

It seems that this action was originally intended by the dragon king Angerweed to preserve himself by having the gecko's tail cut off. However, when he was killed by the ancient sun god, because of madness, fear of death, or the influence of pollution, he used the severed "tail" as a "backup" for resurrection?

In other words, once the Dragon King successfully resurrects using his backup plan, does it mean that God will also be resurrected?

Chapter 553: Do you accept such an ending?

Edward was dumbfounded.

You keep on doing this one thing after another, and won't you be satisfied until you kill me?

I thought that being inexplicably involved in the resurrection of the Dragon King was troublesome enough, but there's also the matter of "God" being resurrected?

I'm only Sequence 4?

Isn't it too early?

Adam, things have become so serious, are you really still ignorant and indifferent?

Just as he thought of this, the spiritual dragon suddenly let out a shrill scream, and a silver-white cross flashing with golden light suddenly appeared between heaven and earth, passing straight through the dragon's body.

"No!"

The giant dragon of the mind roared angrily, and it kept waving its sharp claws and trying to tear the cross with its teeth, but it was of no use.

Buzz!

The golden light spread out from the cross to the surroundings, and the darkness on the dragon's body quickly faded wherever it passed.

"No!!!"

He roared angrily for the second time, and his body suddenly became illusory and then disappeared.

"That is..."

Before he could figure it out, everything in front of Edward disappeared, and he was surrounded by endless gray fog. He opened his eyes and returned to the Hall of Honesty.

However, the hall of this giant dragon had changed its appearance at some point. The original weathered stone pillar had turned into a cross hundreds of meters high.

In front of the cross, a huge, blurry figure stood there, bearing everything on its back and gazing at all the souls with compassion.

Inside the Hall of Honesty, there were rows of black chairs with backrests, but there was only one person praying.

The praying man sat in the middle of the first row with his eyes closed. He was wearing a rather simple white robe and had a light blond beard that covered the lower half of his face. His hands were clasped in front of the silver cross pendant on his chest, and his expression was warm and calm.

Adam.

Amon stood quietly aside, with a smile on his face. Stifer's flesh and blood was still slowly crawling on the ground, trying to piece himself together again and "resurrect".

As for the giant dragon that was either Erehogg, Angerwide, or even God's mind, it lay limply in front of the cross. The darkness around it had long since dissipated, and its eyes had returned to a light golden color.

Looking at the bronze door behind the throne, it closed again, sealing the dark hole again along with the unwillingness and anger.

I knew it!

How could Adam not know about such a big thing, how could he not care about it?

At this time, Adam raised his head, revealing eyes as clear as a child's.

He stood up slowly and said calmly, "Thank you for your hard work...

Number eight.

Edward's pupils shrank.

At this moment, he understood everything.

From the beginning, he had guessed that it was the future Erihog or Angerwied who arranged everything, and he had guessed that it was the present Erihog or Angerwied who arranged this, but he never thought that all this was directed by Adam.

yes,

The fallen Dragon King and God both left behind some backup plans, so how could the living Adam not have any response at all?

Adam's goal was very clear at the beginning. The resurrection of the Dragon King (backup plan) was never a threat to him. The real threat was the pollution of the Chaos Sea, or the revival of God's consciousness.

So He cleverly took advantage of the Dragon King's back-up plan, Edward's fearlessness of pollution, His Source Castle, and Amon and Stifer...even took the good luck bestowed by the little snake into account.

The purpose is to force out the hidden consciousness of God.

Adam certainly could not destroy God's consciousness, but he succeeded in destroying the personality of the Dragon King, turning the revived God's consciousness into a rootless duckweed, and then sealed him up again, cutting off his chance of resurrection.

even...

Adam stretched out his hand towards the giant dragon lying limp on the ground, and a glimmering scale floated out of its body and fell into Adam's hand. Edward's intuition told him that this was the extraordinary characteristic of the Audience Pathway Sequence 1.

Edward had always thought that Adam had already achieved 2+1, but he didn't expect that one of the Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristics had been in Eri Hogg's hands all along.

So, in this plan, Adam destroyed the personality that the Dragon King had left as a backup for resurrection, sealed God's consciousness, and obtained a Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic.

It was really like Qin Shihuang touching the electric switch, and he was so excited that he won.

What about me?

Just cooperated to act out a play?

"Chief, when did you know that I..."

Adam's eyes were gentle, "Not long ago."

"Remember what I said at the last party? The tide of the times has shifted."

Edward nodded.

"But that kind of shift… for me, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages."

"All I have to do is find the person who caused the deviation and then follow the trend."

"So, thank you, Eight."

As He spoke, a copper-green cross appeared in His hand, and He slowly walked to the head of the giant dragon - the latter was obviously the huge monster, but Adam looked extremely majestic.

He held the copper-green cross and stabbed it into the body of the psychic dragon. His golden eyes flickered, and a ball of thin mist, like a gray-white brain from a dream that was not real enough, emerged from the dragon's body.

This is clearly some extraordinary property of the audience pathway!

Adam held the ball of extraordinary characteristics and gently threw it to Edward, "This is the Dream Weaver Extraordinary Characteristics you want."

"…"

Edward was not happy at all even with the Beyonder Characteristics, and he couldn't even say "thank you". He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then what do you think of me..."

"I don't care."

Adam's tone was calm. "I'm not curious, and I won't interfere with you either. So I won't ask you any questions, and you don't need to tell me anything."

"You just need to treat today's event as a transaction. The reward is the extraordinary characteristics of the Dream Weaver."

His golden eyes stared at Edward, "The back hand of the original revival was cut off, and Angerwede was completely killed. I achieved my goal, and you also got what you wanted. We each got what we needed.

Do you accept this ending?"

"…"

You have arranged everything, how can I say no?

Indeed, according to Him, everyone "won", but the feeling of being controlled and arranged by others... is somewhat aggrieved.

Not to mention, Edward hasn't forgotten that you, Amon and Chick teamed up to kill Lilith. Although Lilith didn't really die, this hatred...can't be let go just like that.

Amon on the side smiled while holding his monocle: "What are you two talking about? Fortunately, I have also contributed a lot, can't you share with me?"

"Enlarge, stealing is prohibited here."

Edward "answered" calmly.

"Haha, that's interesting."

Adam said in a warm voice, "You can go now."

Edward suddenly felt that he was being rejected by the Hall of Honesty, the "City of Miracles" and the collective subconscious ocean of the world in the book. He floated up involuntarily and flew backwards.

During this process, he saw Adam return to the front of the rows of black seats, holding the silver cross pendant, closing his eyes, and praying devoutly to the huge and blurry figure.

An illusory door appeared silently, standing in mid-air.

Edward flew backwards uncontrollably into the illusory door. The bright daylight in front of him suddenly turned dark, and the snowflakes falling like goose feathers appeared in front of him again.

He returned to the snowy world of Groselle's Travels. In front of him was a road swallowed by snow and darkness. There was an illusory door covered with snowflakes at the place where the frost dragon had died. Behind him was the cave where Groselle and the other five had camped.

"You really don't care?"

Edward looked at the extraordinary characteristics of the Dream Weaver and murmured, "Don't care about the direction of the future, don't care whether your historical trend advances according to your ideas, don't care whether you successfully stop the Outer Gods and protect the Earth?"

"Or, do you actually care a lot, but are just worried that knowing the future in advance will affect your current decisions?"

After a while, he put away his extraordinary characteristics, turned around and walked into the cave.

The five people were still sitting on the sofa by the campfire. When they heard the footsteps, they looked up at the same time. Mobet stood up immediately: "What's going on?"

Edward nodded slightly and smiled: "We can leave now. "

"…"

After a brief silence, the five people's eyes were filled with excitement - even the serious ascetic Snowman had a more expectant expression.

"But are you ready to become evil spirits from now on?"

Groselle laughed and said, "Being alive is more important than anything else."

"Then let's go."

Edward took the lead and walked out. The group of five followed and walked out of the cave together, heading towards the illusory door covered with snow.

He took a few steps forward, bent his back slightly, and pressed his palms against the door. "Well, let's take a last look at this world."

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads and looked at this world covered in ice and snow. They had different expressions and emotions, but none of them felt reluctant.

Who would be reluctant to leave this false world?

"Let's go!"

Edward exerted force with his arms and pushed open the snow-covered door.

Silently, everything that everyone saw became illusory, then transparent and disappeared.

A simply decorated living room soon appeared before their eyes. There were several sofas and some unique decorations in the room. It was neither Intis style nor Loen style.

Through the window, you can see the green trees nearby, the dim evening sky in the distance, and the endless deep blue sea in the distance.

It's out.

We finally got out.

"Where did Father Maozi throw Groselle's Travels? What is this place?"

Edward looked around but didn't see "Groselle's Travels". It seemed that Adam had taken it away. Alas, this means that when the ability to "eat" expires this time, he will never be able to use [Prohibition] again.

He immediately ended the summons without further delay, disappeared in front of everyone's surprised gazes, and returned to Sefirah Castle.

As soon as he sat down on the bronze chair, Edward quickly injected spiritual energy into the crimson star that represented the five people. This time, he pulled them into Sefirah Castle without much effort.

Chapter 554 Ritual Completed

The spirits of five people appeared in front of the bronze round table in the crimson light, each of them looking very confused and nervous.

"Don't be nervous."

The "avatar" forged by using Transfiguration and [False Reality] sat on the left and said with a smile: "This is the Lord I believe in, and the great existence who extends a helping hand to you."

"I'll withdraw first."

After saying this, his figure disappeared.

The five people subconsciously looked at Edward (his real body), and then they all lowered their heads at the same time: Even Longzel understood that one should not look directly at the gods.

Although several giants, elves and ascetics all had their own beliefs, and Siatas even very impolitely called the gods other than the Elf King "false gods", when they really faced a "god" - especially a god who had just rescued them, they dared not show the slightest disrespect.

"Thank you, great being."

Edward said calmly, "Don't thank me. My original intention was not to help you. I just did it for Pales' sake."

Everyone was silent and looked at Mobet.

Mobet pretended to be stupid and scratched his head: "Ah...thank you."

Edward then stretched out his hand, and a "screen" appeared in the depths of the gray fog, showing their respective bodies left in the ruins of the God War Ruins.

Their bodies were rapidly becoming old, rotten, and dry, and they fell to the ground one by one:

Mobet's flaxen hair was turning white rapidly, and obvious wrinkles appeared on his smooth face.

Xiatas's hair quickly dried and fell off, and in the blink of an eye she turned into a skinny old lady.

Longzel's changes were the fastest and most obvious. As he aged, the flesh and blood on his body began to corrode, leaving only white bones.

Groselle and Snowman also rotted rapidly, their flesh and blood evaporated, leaving only bones and the precipitated extraordinary characteristics.

It can be said that the five members of Groselle's team were not afraid of death, but seeing themselves die in this way, they still felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

If they had not been brought to this mysterious place by this great being, their spirits would have surely completely dissipated as their bodies decayed.

Edward waved away the screen, looked down at the five people, and fell into thought:

"What should we do with them next?"

First of all, we definitely can't just throw them somewhere and let them do whatever they want. After all, some of them come from the Third Age, some from the Fourth Age... and one Longzel even comes from thirty years later.

But it's impossible for me to run around with five evil spirits all day.

He held his chin and gently tossed the gold coins with his fingers. Suddenly, his heart moved and his eyes turned to the star symbolizing Pales in the depths of the gray fog.

Then he raised his hand, injected spirituality into Him, and pulled Him directly into the Source Castle.

It was obvious that Mr. Pales was caught off guard when he was pulled up, but before he could react, an excited voice came to his ears: "Old man!"

He immediately turned his head and saw a familiar yet strange and distant face. Even at this moment, his heart could not help but waver: "Mobet... you are really still alive."

Pales then turned to Edward, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Mr. President."

Originally, I thought that the "President" was going to use his great-grandson to "manipulate" me to do things again and again, but I didn't expect that He would bring the person back quietly.

"Don't look at me like that."

Edward smiled faintly, "I just played a game with Adam Amon and brought him out."

Edwards was timid in the face of Adam, but he would certainly "strike hard" when facing Pales.

Anyway, in the original book, Klein was treated as a toy by Amon, but he could casually say that he "played a game with Amon". I was just arranged, so it can naturally be said to be a game.

As expected, Pales did not doubt him. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Playing games... with Adam?"

"Heh, do you remember where your great-grandson was before?"

"…I remember, it was a book left by the Dragon King Angerweed."

Edward nodded. "In that book, there is a plan for Angerweed to revive. This time, Adam and I are working together to completely eliminate Angerweed."

The five members of the adventure team suddenly widened their eyes.

ah?

We just sat in the cave for a few hours and something as big as this happened?

"…"

Pales was even more silent. Even though he knew that the Dragon King, who had lost his extraordinary characteristics, was no longer a god, he was a former god after all, and the backup plan he left behind would definitely not be simple.

Could it be destroyed so easily?

"All of this is in the past. I asked you to come here to hand over the five of them to you. Mobet is your great-grandson, and the other four are his friends or lovers."

Siatas subconsciously wanted to refute: Who is Mobet's lover?

But before she could open her mouth, her hand was grabbed by Mobet. In her spiritual state, she could not feel any temperature from the contact between her hands, but she could feel Mobet's inner emotions.

This guy!

Edward continued, "Three of the four of them are from the Third Age, and one is from thirty years later."

It's understandable that Pales came from the Third Age, but what the hell is it coming from thirty years later?

Edward looked at Longzel and said, "It is 1160 now."

"!!!"

Longzel was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't remember how long it had been since he entered the world in the book, he still clearly remembered that it was 1190.

He was confused. Why did he spend so many years in the book, but when he came out, he was in an even earlier past?

The good news is that his family... including his young self, are still living well in Backlund.

The bad news is that he is now just a stranger to his family, and...his wife and child are not yet born.

Groselle and the other four were shocked, but their hearts were filled with envy: "Early" is of course much better than "late"!

Early means there is still a chance to change some things, and means you can still see the people you want to see, but too late, this world will be completely unfamiliar to them.

After a while, Pales said, "I understand."

"Well, after you leave, pray to me and open the door to my kingdom of God."
