The illusory doors shattered one after another. When the last door shattered, Edward wandered away again, and returned a few seconds later: "Do you think my spiritual energy consumption speed is not slower than yours?"
"But that's based on my continued pursuit. What if I just follow you from a distance and come out to harass you every once in a while?"
"I can save a lot of spiritual energy, but you still don't dare to cancel the historical projection easily. With this kind of increase and decrease, do you really think you can outlast me?"
Edward stretched out his hand and took out the Hufflepuff gold cup from his space pocket. "Oh, I have another extraordinary item in my hand that can help me restore my spirituality. You can tell whether what I said is true or false. "
"I'll repeat it one last time. All I want is the Beyonder characteristic of the Miracle Worker, and it's the extra one you have. If you hand it over, there will be no substantial loss for you."
If Zaratul was still conscious and could speak, he would definitely yell angrily, "F**k! What the hell are you talking about? I am a Miracle Master now. If I give you my Beyonder characteristics, wouldn't that mean I'll die? I think you're here for the Mystical Servant Beyonder characteristics that I got with great difficulty!"
Yes, Edward made a mistake here: he only remembered that Zaratul had an extra extraordinary characteristic of the Miracle Master in his hand, but forgot that the extra one was obtained when He used the extraordinary characteristic of the Secret Servant to mix the potion to advance.
Of course, even if he knew this, it would not stop him from talking nonsense - anyway, Zaratul at this moment was just a body with a survival instinct on the verge of losing control, and everything Edward said was just an attempt at "mouth persuasion".
At this moment, a thin mist suddenly emerged in the surroundings, and the originally dark and boundless starry sky was surrounded by ominous red halos.
The next second, Zaratul's spirit trembled violently:
Danger!
Danger!
This was the most terrifying, strongest, and most deadly spiritual premonition He had ever had since He became a fortune teller!
If you go any further you will die!
Chapter 620 Amon
The unconscious Zaratul was indeed half crazy and half out of control, but He also had a strong desire to survive. +3 `Ba.墈` Book ¢蛧¨ - Already published, the latest chapter? Conclusion` At this moment, He stopped.
Looking at Edward who was following closely, the half-crazy Zaratul made a rational decision. He took out from his arms an object that looked like a deep and dark worm vortex, and then, with the triple blessing of distortion, amplification, and utilization of the Duke of Entropy's historical projection, he threw it forward with all his strength.
"!!!"
Edward's heart trembled, and after looking at Zaratul who turned around and fled in the opposite direction, he no longer hesitated, and swam over in a flash, blocking the flying Beyonder Characteristics, and then passed through the obstruction of an illusory door to intercept the Beyonder Characteristics that could shoot and explode the Demigod.
Got the extraordinary characteristic of the mysterious waiter!
"withdraw!"
Edward naturally sensed the danger here, and decisively used [Destination] to leave here.
But suddenly he heard a gentle whisper in his ear: "Are you really not going to take a look at me first before deciding whether to leave?"
The voice seemed to have an irresistible charm that made Edward give up trying to escape and stare blankly in the direction of the voice.
I saw a woman who was more than ten meters tall, wearing a long skirt that seemed to be made of bones. Her black hair was like a poisonous giant snake, long, thick and slippery, with a snake head on the top or rolling black and white eyes. Her face seemed to be better than anything else in the world and was walking towards me.
It must be said that this is truly the most beautiful face in the world. His beauty may have exceeded normal concepts - even if He has an ugly face at the moment, He is still incomparably beautiful in the eyes of outsiders.
At this moment, this woman is the ultimate beauty.
Just as sequence 0 of the gate pathway is the conceptualization of the gate, this woman is the conceptualization of "beauty".
As He walked, His body shrank. When He reached Edward, He had become almost as tall as Edward. He smiled and stretched out his white fingers to hook them on Edward's chin. "You are so obedient."
He moved closer and sniffed Edward's neck gently, "Hmm, it really is the smell of the City of Disaster."
"!!!"
In an instant, Edward woke up.
The chill quickly enveloped Edward's entire body. Before he could think of a "home" again, the woman said in a gentle tone, "Although I can't stop you from escaping, these little guys will follow you and tear your soul and body to pieces in an instant."
Edward was stunned, and then he found that his body was pierced by dozens of black snake-like tentacles. There was an eye at the top of each tentacle, which was either closed or open, and it was emitting a strong polluting force all the time.
As he lowered his head, the eyes of one of the tentacles met Edward's, and then he felt some strange changes taking place in his body.
His height increased rapidly, his chest swelled quickly, and the bones in his face and head also underwent subtle changes - Edward turned into a woman!
The identity of the woman in front of me is self-evident:
The original witch, Chick!
I wonder why Zaratul decisively threw away the extraordinary characteristic of the Secret Servant: As we all know, when you are chased by a bear, you don't have to run faster than the bear, you just have to run faster than other people.
Zaratul's move sent me directly into the mouth of the "bear".
"Yeah, that's really good."
Chick's fingers gently stroked Edward's cheek, his eyes flashing with appreciation: "If your answer can satisfy me, I don't mind helping you jump to the witch path and become an angel under your seat."
The corner of Edward's mouth twitched slightly: "I...I think it's good to be a man."
He pursed his lips and smiled: "But, you have become a woman now."
"…"
Fuck you!
He gently stroked Edward's cheek with his fingers, "Tell me, where is Lilith? What is she planning?"
"!!!"
The charming voice once again reached Edward's ears, and he subconsciously wanted to answer. Fortunately, the continuous use of [Unruly] weakened the charm a lot. He endured the pain brought by the violation of the charm and shouted out two names loudly:
"Leodro! Oseicus!"
Chick was startled at first, then burst into laughter:
"How naive and cute. This is my kingdom of God. Do you think that just two names can make them attack me recklessly?"
Edward grinned, "Why not?"
Suddenly, brilliant silver-white lightning fell from the sky one after another.
These lightning bolts spread out their "branches", covering the surrounding area of several hundred meters in a "Thunder Forest". The breath of destruction and the feeling of devastation seemed real!
In an instant, an aura like the end of the world came and pressed down heavily.
Chike's pupils shrank, and he looked up in astonishment: "Leodro, you dare..."
But as the first bolt of lightning fell, he suddenly realized that it did not have the terrifying power that the tyrant possessed. It was at most the aura of a Sequence 2, and it was just a facade.
"Just kidding, you bastard."
The next second, Edward's figure disappeared as [Destination] was activated.
"…"
The smile on Chike's face gradually disappeared, and his eyes became calm, "Lilith... Big Sister, why don't you just refuse to die in peace!"
...
The kingdom of the goddess of night.
The moment Edward appeared, the tentacles that penetrated his body began to swell and grow wildly, turning into pitch-black poisonous snakes in an attempt to tear apart Edward's body and soul.
He curled up in agony, constantly using thunder and stealing to fight the poisonous snakes in his body, but the effect was very limited. He clearly felt himself getting weaker and weaker, and closer and closer to death.
Germs, toxins, curses, and the bites of venomous snakes attacked Edward from all sides. Just as Chick had just said, his soul and body would be torn apart.
He struggled to get up, took a look at the quiet darkness filled with moonflowers, nightshades and other plants, gritted his teeth and shouted, "End the summons."
Grayish-white mist rose, and Edward returned to Sefirah Castle. He stumbled and collapsed on the bronze chair.
His body had long been broken, and the poisonous snakes were gnawing at his soul and flesh. The tearing pain further erupted, and he could no longer maintain his consciousness.
There was a violent rumbling inside Sefirah Castle. Stone pillars collapsed, gardens overturned, and the eternal and magnificent palace quickly turned into ruins.
Amon's birdcage swayed like a swing as the Sefirah Castle vibrated.
Bang!
Edward's body suddenly exploded and turned into countless fragments. Each fragment was made up of one or several wriggling star worms flashing with starlight.
They were scattered all over the ground.
Under the aggregation effect, they slowly converged towards one position - exactly the extraordinary characteristic of the mysterious waiter.
It took a while to reassemble itself into Edward's original appearance: except that he was still in the form of a woman.
He gasped, inserted his finger into his body, forcibly extracted the extraordinary characteristics of the mysterious waiter and threw it on the round table.
"Oh, you have a very unique taste, don't you?"
Amon's gloating voice came: "First it was a child, and now it's a woman."
"Shut up."
Edward struggled to sit up, then laid tiredly on the bronze table. He felt sharp pains all over his body, as if the poisonous snakes (tentacles) that had pierced him were still in his body.
But according to the several times Klein committed suicide in Sefirah Castle in the original novel, unless the damage he suffered far exceeded what Sefirah Castle could bear, Edward should be "immortal" here.
"Didn't you go hunting Zaratul? How did you offend Chike?"
"I... let you shut up..."
Edward forced himself to sit up straight, but his expression suddenly froze.
He stared at the man with a broad forehead, wearing a monocle, and dressed in a black classical long-distance suit, who was sitting opposite him with his legs crossed, and was stunned for a moment.
Amon held the bird cage in his hand and smiled: "Good afternoon, Mr. President."
"…"
Edward's breathing became rapid. He looked at Amon in astonishment. "How could you possibly break free from that birdcage? Even if you really found a loophole, you can't break free with the power of your clone..."
At this point, his pupils shrank: "You are..."
Pop.
Amon snapped his fingers, "Correct answer, but unfortunately there is no reward."
"He" squeezed his crystal clear monocle and said with a smile, "Yes, I am Amon's true self."
"From the beginning to the end... I am the real body."
Chapter 621: Change of Ownership of Sefirah Castle
Edward was about to eject the gold coin.
But his attack missed, and he felt his body quickly losing control as he was parasitized by Amon.
"What makes you think I'll give you a chance to pop out the gold coin?"
Amon played with the gold coin in his hand, smiled slightly and said, "Since the first day I entered Sefirah Castle, you ejected the gold coin and used some unknown ability to force me into a birdcage."
"After this, every time you 'inject humanity' into me, you will also need to toss a gold coin."
He ejected the gold coin with a "ding" sound, and looked at Edward with his chin in his hand: "So, the prerequisite for using that ability... is to eject the gold coin, right?"
Edward looked at Him coldly, "Oh, could it be that I am deliberately deceiving you?"
Amon stretched out his hand and said, "Then... please start your performance. I've been in the cage for so long, and I'm not used to coming out all of a sudden. Please send me back quickly."
"…"
Cough cough cough.
Edward coughed violently a few times, and felt the pain of his soul being torn apart again. "Since I got the Beyonder characteristics today and I'm in a good mood, I'll let you go this time. Get out of here right now."
"Why."
Amon shook his head with a look of pity, "How many times have I told you, your pretense is... too fake."
Edward sneered, "Oh, since you think I'm pretending, why are you still talking nonsense to me?"
"Because, I think after spending some time together, we are at least half friends, so there is still room for discussion."
"discuss?"
Edward sneered, "You are so confident that you can defeat me, why do you need to discuss anything with me? If you want something, just take it if you have the ability."
"No, no, no."
Amon shook his finger. "It's different. It's different for me to take it away by force and ask you to hand it over."
"...I see."
Edward looked at her calmly: "In the final analysis, you just want to take away the ownership of Sefirah Castle, and let me bear the responsibility and cost, right?"
In the original novel, the reason why Amon took Klein to the God-Forsaken Land for so long was actually because of this idea - maybe in the future Amon will be a good guy who actively saves the world, but in the mystery, he really doesn't want to take the slightest responsibility. /0.0~暁+说`网¢ ?首^發\
"You could think so."
Amon nodded, not hiding his true intention, "But you don't have to feel too much pressure. As long as I can successfully ascend to the Lord of Mysteries and drive away the Outer Gods, you don't really need to bear anything. At that time, you can be an archangel under my seat, how about it?"
"Not interested."
"Hey, why bother?"
He sighed, "I really feel that we have been getting along pretty well during this period of time."
Edward smiled coldly: "Only Amon in the cage is the real good Amon. Once he walks out, he will be a pure disaster."
"...Your misunderstanding of me is really too deep."
Amon leaned back, pinched his chin and thought for a moment, "How about this, I can agree to one condition of yours, anything is fine."
"real?"
Edward stared at Him, "Leave Sefirah Castle immediately."
"…"
uninhibited.
Edward suddenly broke free from the control of the parasite. He materialized a paper man and slapped it on himself, transforming into an angel's embrace to protect him. Then his body suddenly transformed into dozens of illusory doors. At the same time, various abilities were released and gold coins popped out at the same time.
"Tsk, trouble."
Amon held the monocle in his hand and grabbed all the gold coins with one hand. Then the monocle flashed with a faint light, and he reached out again and exchanged positions with one of the Edwards.
The next second, Edward was enveloped by all the attacks he had unleashed.
He quickly retreated into the illusory door, then shuttled back and forth and threw the gold coins again.
However, before the gold coin fell, his mind went blank, but when he reacted, he found himself sitting back on the bronze chair, and his roaming ability and spatial hiding ability had disappeared.
"Strange.·Shan-ba~墈\book*徃· ^嶵′薪, 蟋蟀节.埂′欣.剁具_"
Amon muttered, "Why can't I steal those strange abilities you have? Hey, if you don't agree to me, I really can't help but parasitize the deep layer and become a new Amon to study your body carefully."
"You might as well give it a try."
As Edward spoke, the pages of an illusory book in his eyes flipped, and a small scaleless snake with its head and tail connected appeared in his pupils. He used the recorded [Restart] for the third time.
As the giant mercury snake phantom reappeared in the Lord of Sefirah Castle, everything that had just happened was quickly reversed, and Edward's stolen ability was restored.
But just as the time reversal ended, Amon reached out and used it on Edward again.
At the same time, Edward also used the same gesture to steal on Amon:
Amon was amused. He used the recorded theft to steal from himself, the "ancestor of the thief". It was really...
His expression suddenly changed, he felt like his fate was being pried open, being peeled off bit by bit - this guy not only succeeded in stealing from him, he even achieved the level of fate!
He immediately deceived the other party and tricked him into stealing it, then he pinched his monocle...
Huh?
Amon was stunned. Where is my monocle?
He suddenly looked at Edward, only to see him looking at him with a smile, wearing a crystal-carved monocle on his right eye—it was his own monocle:
That is the uniqueness of the thief's path!
Even Amon was confused at this moment. I, a Sequence 1 of the Thief's Path, possessed the uniqueness and extraordinary characteristics of two Sequence 1s, but my uniqueness was stolen by a guy who had the ability to steal recorded? !
Amon's first reaction was comical, but then he felt a strong sense of crisis, a crisis that he had never felt before when facing gods.
"I just gave you a chance, Amon."
Edward imitated Amon and pinched his monocle: "If you could have stolen my destiny in the first place, everything would have ended long ago, but you just want to inherit Sefirah Castle without taking on any responsibility."
"So, in my territory, what makes you think I can deal with you once but not twice? A good swimmer drowns, a good rider falls, and a good thief also dies from being stolen."
"Are you satisfied with this ending?"
Amon raised his hands and said, "I admit defeat. I surrender. I am willing to go back to the cage and be a good crow."
"Do you think I would keep a powder keg around that could explode at any time?"
"why not?"
Amon smiled and said, "Anyway, I am no longer a threat to you now. If you keep me here, I can help you answer all kinds of questions. How great is that."
Edward said calmly: "Sorry, I don't need it."
"Well, then let's say goodbye properly."
Amon put down his hands and sighed: "Restart."
"???"
...
Villa at 7 Rose Street, Trier.
Will the Little Snake sat in his little room, scratched his head and muttered, "Why do I have this inexplicable illusion? I feel like I was the one dominating the battlefield even though I wasn't there at the scene?"
"Is it because of my good luck?"
That's strange.
...
Inside Sefirah Castle, everything was reversed once again.
Just as Edward had just regained the power stolen by Amon through rebooting, Amon also regained his uniqueness in the same way.
When the monocle was put back on Amon's right eye, He said, "Luckily I stole a [Destiny Reset] just now, otherwise I would be really finished."
Edward's face changed drastically and he was about to move.
But the next second, the Source Castle began to shake violently, and the endless gray-white mist rolled wildly, as if it was roaring in unwillingness.
At the same time, Edward felt weak, as if something precious was being pulled out of his body.
"No!!!"
Amon said calmly: "I accept your Source Castle." - At this moment, it is a matter of life and death, so he can only steal it as a sign of respect. As for the fate and responsibility that they will inherit together, he can only find another way.
Boom!
The inside of Sefirah Castle began to shake violently. The garden surrounded by gray fog collapsed bit by bit. The ancient and mottled bronze round table was smashed into several pieces with holes in it.
The ground was also torn apart, spreading out spider-web-like cracks that oozed gray-white mist. Everything in front of him shattered in an instant, and within the huge Source Castle, only endless gray fog remained.
Edward's body shape changed accordingly, from a woman's body to a child's body. At the same time, Amon's body also changed accordingly:
He actually stole Edward's fate of becoming a woman as well.
After a while,
The gray fog slowly faded, and Sefirah Castle was restored at a very slow speed. However, it did not turn back into the small garden that Edward had originally constructed, but into a magnificent ancient palace.
...
In the spiritual world.
Seven dazzling rays of light gathered together, sometimes shining, sometimes dimming, as if expressing an uneasy feeling about the unknown future. It had been less than two months since the last return of the Lord of the Spirit World, but changes had occurred again. The seven lights could not tell whether this was good or bad.
In the star realm.
In the harvest kingdom of Mother Earth, Lilith was walking on the rice ears and spring water, but she suddenly stopped. She looked in one direction with a little surprise: "Did Amon succeed? What a pity."
In the steampunk kingdom of God, Steam Muscle Stiano was creating something new from a book. His strong arms held a huge hammer and kept hitting an unknown piece of metal, quickly beating it into a gear shape. Suddenly, the hammer he was swinging stopped in mid-air, and his brows slightly frowned: "Dead?"
In the declining kingdom at dusk, the god of war sitting high on the throne raised his eyes, glanced once, and fell into silence again.
The kingdom of fire and thunder was still filled with natural disaster-like flames and lightning, without the slightest change.
The god of knowledge and wisdom, he sat under a tree with a frown on his face.
And in the quiet darkness filled with plants such as moon flowers and night-blooming herbs, a woman standing in a long river wearing a long dress that seemed to be covered with stars opened her eyes with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
In the secret palace on the main peak of Honachis, Antigonus, whose extraordinary characteristics as the Secret Servant had just been taken away by Zaratul, fell into madness. He roared and wanted to rush out of the palace.
