Chapter 389 - The Inside Story of Divinity, Was Full of Danger
Chapter 389: The Inside Story of Divinity, Was Full of Danger
All the mechanisms in the supervisor’s room began to attack Andre. Countless powerful bows and crossbows were fired at him. They soon filled the entire room.
Andre, who was in the room, was unable to dodge them all. He was going to look like a hedgehog in the next second!
Andre shouted in a deep voice, “My Lord lives forever, grant me eternal life!”
The storage ring on his hand flashed, and a large sword instantly appeared in his hand. At the same time, a layer of pitch-black armor immediately wrapped around his body. It was the same demonic aura armor that he wore when he was fighting against Jacob the last time.
“Ding! Ding! Ding!”
Countless arrows hit Andre’s body. However, they all broke into pieces after coming into contact with his armor. They all fell powerlessly under his feet.
The greatsword in Andre’s hand was soon enveloped by the demonic energy. It became pitch-black and was extremely sharp. It was so sharp, it was as if his great sword could cut through everything in the world.
“Boom!”
The array on the surrounding walls suddenly lit up, and the magic scrolls that were hanging on the walls began to take effect. Countless magic spells from the Demon Race instantly erupted with terrifying energy. They soon filled the entire room with a black aura and drowned Andre.
After seeing that the room had turned completely black, Vincent and Dave, who were hiding in the space tunnel, could not help but shrug their shoulders helplessly at the same time. This was because the scene in front of them was almost the same as what they saw back in the abyss.
Dave’s vision was completely blocked, and he could not see anything.
On the other hand, Vincent could only vaguely see Andre’s figure dodging around the room with the help of his heavenly will. It seemed that although his protective black armor could resist magic world spells, it also had a limit to how much it could withstand. Therefore, Andre did not dare to take on all the spells in the room head-on. He still had to move his body to dodge as much as possible. He would only choose to face the surrounding spells head-on if he could not dodge in time.
David asked Vincent in a daze, “How is it? Who will win today?”
Vincent sighed softly and looked at the ground as he said, “Andre isn’t showing any signs of defeat now! Although the room is full of traps and looks very dangerous, the damage they could do to Andre is very limited. Now, it all depends on how far Myron could use this opportunity to escape!”
Vincent could use the Art of Heaven’s Will to locate traces of the secret tunnel under the room. However, he could no longer sense where Myron was hiding.
Vincent wanted to find Myron’s current location out of curiosity. His gaze was focused on the direction of the tunnel leading to his feet. He also turned to look out of the room to look for traces of Myron.
When Vincent subconsciously turned his gaze to look behind him, he could not help but be stunned on the spot. This was because another space tunnel had appeared in front of him. They were separated by only a layer of the tunnel wall.
On the other end of the wall, there were eight extremely terrifying eyes floating, as well as a tall figure that Vincent was very familiar with.
“Not good!”
Vincent exclaimed, and immediately pulled Dave to run to one side of the tunnel.
At the same time, Vincent used his modification authority to continuously expand the depths of the space tunnel. This was because he knew that Dave was also with him and that they had to leave the space tunnel from a relatively safe location. Otherwise, what awaited them would only be endless danger!
“What’s wrong? What happened?”
Dave was at a loss and wanted to ask Vincent what was going on. However, he suddenly noticed that there was a black shadow moving alongside Vincent. The black shadow was nearly four meters tall and his body was huge. He was waving his eight legs and was moving continuously. Just by looking at the outline, one could see that it was the shadow of the ancient Zerg!
At this time, Dave also realized the severity of the situation. He did not dare to resist Vincent’s orders and followed accordingly. He quickly ran forward with Vincent.
“What’s going on? Didn’t the Zerg fall into your trap?” asked Dave as he ran.
Vincent frowned and helplessly, “The Zerg was locked in a bigger and deeper space tunnel by me. But I completely forgot that the tunnel was created by the Lingluo Race using modification authority. The space door that I usually open using the modification authority actually leads to the same space-time as that tunnel! In other words, we are now in the same world as the Zerg and are parallel to the original world. If we don’t leave as soon as possible, the Zerg might break through the space wall and find me!”
After listening to Vincent’s explanation, Dave knew that the situation was critical, so he quickly turned his head and looked around. He was trying to confirm where he and Vincent were on the ninth floor of Hell’s Rose.
Suddenly, Dave’s gaze locked onto a wall and he quickly said to Vincent, “Right! We can go to the lift platform inside Hell’s Rose. That place is suitable for hiding. We can also go to other floors. That way, even if we leave the space tunnel, we’ll be safe!”
“Good idea!”
Vincent nodded and praised him. He pulled Dave and ran straight toward the slanted wall in front of them.
Since they were still in the space tunnel, there was no need to open the secret door on the wall. They could just pass through the wall directly to the inner lift platform.
As the thick wall flashed before their eyes, Vincent and Dave finally arrived at the lift platform through the parallel space. However, what they did not expect was that Myron was standing on the inner lift platform!
If Vincent and Dave left the space tunnel at this time, they would be standing face to face with Myron!
“My god, why is he here?” sighed Dave in frustration.
At the same time, the Zerg had caught up to them. It was roaring at Vincent through the space tunnel, venting the anger in its heart.
Vincent could only bet that the Zerg would not be able to break through the barrier in a short period of time, so he looked at Myron up and down calmly twice.
Myron was not trying to escape the ninth floor. Instead, he looked like he was making some preparations!
He took out a jar that was the size of a human head from his storage ring. He reached in and grabbed a pool of sticky and turbid black liquid. He then smeared the black liquid on his body repeatedly until his entire body was dyed black.
What made Vincent even more surprised was that the ink-black liquid did not seem to contain the aura of the Demon Race, but even purer dark energy!
Vincent had only seen this energy once, and that was via the Elf King’s remains that Dave bought.
“Looks like Myron had obtained a complete set of the Elf King’s remains back then. He even refined the Elf King’s remains into this pool of liquid. He then auctioned off the remaining Elf King’s remains to attract the attention of others!”
Vincent could not help but sigh.
Dave was greatly surprised. He frowned and asked, “Then why did he do this?”
Vincent’s thoughts spun before saying, “To conceal his true actions of course! By throwing away the remains, the public would no longer be able to form any connection between the Elf King’s remains and Hell’s Rose. Myron and this strange pool of liquid will then be able to continue hiding in the darkness and be used during a crucial moment like now. The remains can display an unexpected effect!”
Dave raised his head to look at Vincent, and instantly noticed the Zerg behind him, who was only separated by a barrier. The Zerg had already stopped roaring at this time. Instead, it raised its tail and shot out spider webs at the space barrier one after another.
As a result, the space barrier was slowly melting away. They would soon be in the same space as the Zerg.
“The Zerg is coming! But what is Myron going to do? It will take such a long time. Why don’t we move to another place?” said Dave with a worried expression.
Vincent shook his head, his eyes revealing a trace of determination as he said, “Wait a little longer! After Myron has prepared his secret method, he will definitely go and have a life and death battle with Andre. At that time, we can take the opportunity to leave. After all, there is no better space than this lift. Believe me, we will definitely be safe!”
After hearing Vincent’s confident tone, Dave nodded slightly to show his support. He then turned to look at Myron, his eyes filled with nervousness and anticipation.
Myron smeared the black liquid all over his body and knelt on one knee in the lift. He chanted with incomparable devotion, “Great Black Elf King! I am your lost believer. Please forgive my betrayal and bring me back to the embrace of darkness. From now on, I will become the servant of darkness and atone for my past loss! But at this moment, please give me the strongest power to kill Andre, who has betrayed the elves!”
Myron became extremely pious and chanted to the Black Elf King over and over again. However, it was a little ironic that he was singing to an Elf King as a Dark Elf.
Dave looked at Myron’s ritual and sighed in realization, “I remember now. This is a ritual for the elves to convert their faith. It seems that he wants to borrow the blood and flesh of the Elf King to the greatest extent in order to become a Black Elf again!”
Vincent could not help but frown slightly when he heard that. He said softly, “But his ultimate goal of killing Andre is to become the City Lord of Devil Flame City and continue working for Gajero. Can such faith even get a response from the Elf King? Moreover, the Black Elf King is already dead. How could he respond to him?”
Dave replied with anticipation, “No! Although the Elf Kings can die, as long as the divine spark is still there, the power of the Black Elf King would be passed on forever. Even if the Elf King was unable to leave behind a successor before he died, the divine spark on his body would automatically fall off and take the initiative to find an elf who was qualified enough to become an Elf King! That was why Myron used the Elf King’s remains as a medium to start the ritual to change his faith. He wanted to maximize the possibility of receiving a response from the Elf King!”
After listening to Dave’s slightly proud explanation, Vincent suddenly asked quietly, “Then what if the Elf King’s divine spark is lost?”
Dave, who had a look of anticipation, was suddenly stunned. He turned to look at Vincent and asked in surprise, “What do you mean? The Elf King’s Divine Spark is a mysterious existence that was born at the same time as the elves. How could it be lost?”
Vincent raised his hand and pointed at Dave’s body. He asked softly, “Actually, I have a question. Since the elves can choose to believe in anything that they want, why did they not believe in another god from another race? The Black Hole in Elf World has opened. All the elves had the opportunity to see and meet other races in the Black Hole. However, the Elf Race does not believe in anyone else aside from Gajero. Therefore, I suspect that one must have a divine spark in order to become a true God of the Elf Race. That was why Gajero was able to become the god of the Dark Elves. This means that he has at least one elf divine spark, and the divine spark that he most likely obtained is…”
Before Vincent could finish speaking, Dave blurted out, “It’s the divine spark of the Black Elf King! Gajero is the lord of the Demon World, and the aura of the Demon World is most similar to dark energy. Therefore, he would definitely be the first to seize the Black Elf King’s divine spark. This is also very likely the reason for this Elf King’s remains.
Vincent nodded and said, “That’s right, this is the greatest possibility. Right now, we just need to see if Myron’s prayers will be answered, and then we can determine whether Gajero has seized the Elf King’s divine spark or not!”
Dave nodded. He looked at Myron together with Vincent.
Myron’s chanting was no longer as devout as before, and his tone was clearly filled with nervousness and impatience. It seemed that the time he had spent on the ritual had far exceeded his expectations.
There had been no response for such a long time, and there was a high probability that it would end in failure!
However, at that moment, the black liquid on Myron’s body suddenly emitted black steam and condensed into a pitch-black eye behind him. It looked down from above. It was looking down at Myron from behind.
Vincent and Dave could not help but be startled when they saw the strange eye.
Vincent sighed softly, “This eye should not belong to the Elf Race, right?”
Dave shook his head and said, “Even if it’s the Elf King, his appearance should be no different from an elf. It’s impossible for him to have such an eye! Moreover, did you not realize that this eye is very similar to…”
Vincent said in a deep voice, “It’s similar to Gajero’s eye!”
No one understood Gajero’s eye better than him. When Vincent was in Beast World, he had looked into Gajero’s eyes for a long time. He would never forget the terrifying experience that the eye had brought him.
However, Myron had successfully summoned Gajero’s projection through his prayers to the Black Elf King. This was enough to explain everything!
Gajero had obtained the Black Elf King’s divine spark and had made it into a new god. When Myron prayed to the Black Elf King, who had disappeared, his power of faith was transferred to Gajero through the divine spark. That was why Gajero paid attention to him.
Gajero had become the main god of the Dark Elves. Every day, all the worshippers could be heard chanting his name. However, on this particular day, he actually heard someone chanting the name of the Black Elf King to him instead. Therefore, Gajero would definitely be shocked. He wanted to find out the reason behind this.
Thus, Myron was exposed!
Myron was still unaware. After chanting a few times, he shook his head helplessly. He said with a face full of grief and indignation, “Why? Why isn’t there any response? I’ve made preparations for the past 20 years for today. I’m just one step away from killing Andre! Since I can’t rely on the Black Elf King, I might as well continue to maintain my current faith. At the very least, the Great Gajero won’t deprive me of my power just because I lost my position as the City Lord!”
Perhaps it was because Gajero had heard the sincerity in Myron’s words, or perhaps it was because Gajero wanted to play games with him, after seeing everything, the eye of Gajero that was floating behind Myron did not punish him. Instead, a pitch-black light descended and enveloped Myron’s body.
Myron, who suddenly felt the aura of the Demon Race, trembled. He hurriedly turned his head to look behind him and saw the extremely strange-looking eye.
“Gajero, the great Gajero! Not only did you not punish me for my disloyalty, you even gave me more power. I have already understood your guidance. From now on, I will definitely be your most loyal believer. No, I am willing to be your most loyal dog!”
Myron was terrified and touched. He laid on the ground and praised Gajero loudly.
Suddenly, the eye of Gajero blinked. The black liquid on Myron’s body dissolved into black mist and entered the strange space in the eye of Gajero. At the same time, the aura of the Demon Race became more and more powerful. It then returned to Myron’s body.
After seeing this, Dave hurriedly said, “Gajero helped Myron to change the ritual. He sacrificed the black liquid on Myron’s body as an offering to himself. He then gave Myron an even more powerful power! Why is he doing this?”
Vincent sighed softly, “Gajero wants to sit back and watch the Dark Elves kill each other. It seems that he has obtained enough Origin Divine Earth. He doesn’t care about the life and death of the elves at all. Even Andre, who has been providing him with a large amount of Origin Divine Earth, can be abandoned at will! Right now, Gajero only wants the elves to self-destruct!”
Dave swallowed his saliva nervously. He did not know how to express his feelings at that moment.
He was a god that was praised by all the Dark Elves. However, after using all the elves, he actually wanted to drive the elves to kill each other! Was this still the same faith that the elves had been pursuing all this time?
“Ah!”
At that moment, Myron suddenly let out a loud roar. A large amount of demonic aura gushed out from his mouth and nose. It wrapped around his skin tightly and began to spread until his entire body was completely immersed in the demonic aura.
A large amount of demonic aura began to enter his body as if it was squeezing every bone and flesh in his body.
Finally, amidst the sound of bones breaking and flesh tearing apart, the large amount of demonic aura soon fused completely with Myron.
At that moment, Myron’s entire body had turned pure black. Every muscle was bulging and shining with a metallic luster. They looked as if they contained endless explosive power.
Vincent sighed softly, “This is the demonized form given to him by Gajero. It looks much stronger than Miller’s!”
Dave nodded and could not help but say, “Myron’s current strength should have caught up with my father, so in the next battle, one of them will definitely die!”
