Chapter 46
Just after the words were spoken, the space shook.
Simon and Leia were thrown hundreds of meters away on the spot. They managed to stabilize their bodies by stabbing the ground with their swords and gathering their magic power.
What exactly happened?
They all felt puzzled and immediately looked forward.
There was black fog ahead, the space was distorted, and they could vaguely see the terrifying figure.
There is no doubt that the other party is the Lord of the Abyss whom they met yesterday!
How could He, He appear here?
Then, the void beside the Lord of the Abyss suddenly twisted, and a small white bird the size of a fist ran out.
His whole body was glowing, like the scorching sun in the dark fog, dazzling and illuminating the entire mountain.
The two were stunned because they recognized what kind of power it was.
Isn’t this the power of the God of Light?
What is the relationship between that little white bird and the God of Light? And why is it beside the Lord of the Abyss?
However, what happened next was even more shocking.
The little white bird had just run out when a little black bird ran out from the void.
The sky and the earth suddenly darkened, as if all the light had been swallowed up by the little black bird.
The two could sense from afar that the little black bird possessed the power of the god of the underworld!
The divine powers of light and darkness overlap and illuminate the Lord of the Abyss together!
How is this possible? The two were dumbfounded.
As we all know, the God of Light and the God of Hades are mortal enemies. Anyone favored by the God of Light will be cursed by the God of Hades, and vice versa. Their powers cannot protect the same being at the same time! This has never been seen since ancient times!
The God of Light and the God of Hades are mortal enemies, and their followers are even more mortal enemies among mortal enemies.
How could this be possible? And are they ordinary followers?
The two men stared with their eyes wide open, staring straight ahead, not daring to miss any change in the situation.
It was seen that "Ye Qingyi" seemed to hesitate, and the magic power condensed at his fingertips did not explode, but gradually dissipated.
She stared blankly at the Lord of the Abyss who suddenly appeared.
For some unknown reason, this memory beast stopped moving. Facing the Lord of the Abyss, her expression changed significantly.
If the distance was not too far, Leia might be able to see that "Ye Qingyi"'s eyes were slightly red, as if she had seen a friend she had not seen for a long time.
"Ye Qingyi" had clearly accumulated her strength to the extreme, and several super-power-level magics had been constructed, demonstrating an unparalleled presence behind her, like a bunch of blooming flowers.
But she suddenly stopped releasing her magic power and suddenly put down her raised hand.
What is going on?
The two were horrified and shocked by what was happening before their eyes.
Is it that the memory beast is unable to attack the Lord of the Abyss, or is it that "Ye Qingyi" will not attack the Lord of the Abyss even if it is just a memory?
The two were confused, but the next second another burst of magic power suddenly erupted, this time directly blowing them out of the black fog.
Simon almost couldn't protect himself and crashed into a nearby mountain, his head bleeding and his body covered in gravel.
Leia might be better off, as she managed to stand firmly on the plain, but her hand holding the sword was numb and bleeding faintly.
The inspectors at the base rushed out immediately, fearing that something had happened to the two of them, but they saw that they looked dazed, as if they had witnessed some extremely horrifying scene.
Simon's hands were shaking as he held the sword, his face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with shock.
Faced with the intelligence agent's questioning, he didn't know whether he should say it or not.
Why did the Lord of the Abyss appear? Why is there the power of the God of Light and the God of Hades around him? What is his relationship with the hero Ye Qingyi?
Simon's mind was full of these questions.
He and Leia looked at each other, then looked at the black fog together.
The black fog expanded further, the magic power value inside doubled, and the risk index also rose wildly.
What will happen?
-
Regarding this question, Hughes actually also wants to know why.
It has been a long time since he last saw "Ye Qingyi", and his heart was filled with nostalgia. If the person in front of him was not the real person but the memory beast, he might not have been able to help but want to say hello.
His plan was to appear suddenly and see if he could scare it, and if not, run away immediately.
To be honest, it was impossible for Zeus to remain indifferent when he saw the other party casting a super magic in each hand. He was ready to escape, but he did not expect that the other party did not make a move. He just looked at him quietly. As a "memory", it was 80% similar to the real person.
It didn't attack him, but stared at him. Its long aquamarine hair fluttered in the wind, its slender eyebrows were slightly furrowed, its purple eyes were as deep as the sea, and its posture was dignified and generous, which was out of tune with the black fog around it.
Like a touch of blue in thick ink.
Xius couldn't help but think back to when they were playing the game, they could customize their character's sexual characteristics. His customization was the most ordinary, so without giving it much thought, he directly chose the same black hair and black eyes as in reality. However, theirs were colorful, with all kinds of hair and eye colors available, which was quite free.
For example, Wang Chang'er has long fiery red hair, which is very eye-catching and impressive. According to Wang Chang'er himself, the reason why he created his character this way is that the more ordinary the reality is, the more he doesn't want to be ordinary in the game. He has longed for red hair for a long time, but he has never dared to dye it. The game has realized his dream.
Chen Lingxi has silver hair and blue eyes. Her race in the game is actually an elf, not a human.
Ye Qingyi chose the one with blue hair and purple eyes, which was rare among the aliens and could be recognized from a distance.
However, memories are just memories after all. After looking for a few seconds, Xius saw the obvious difference. The other person was only somewhat similar to Ye Qingyi, but his soul was completely different from his real self.
I don’t know if it was because he discovered it, but the Memory Beast’s disguise gradually peeled off, revealing its true form.
A pure white energy body without a specific shape, in the shape of a ring with a radius of about half a meter, was rotating regularly in mid-air. It did not look like a living creature, but rather a geometric pattern that had come to life.
In the middle of it is a spherical core with colorful surface and flowing bright light, which disperses the black fog and creates a vast area out of thin air.
Zeus remained motionless, following the setting of the "Lord of the Abyss", and stared at it calmly.
The two birds seemed to be tired of flying, and they landed on his left and right shoulders, looking around curiously. Because they hadn't been out for a long time, they were a little excited, their big eyes didn't blink, and when they saw the memory beast, they tilted their heads.
Little Black Bird: Oh, so this is what Memory Beast looks like.
The little white bird didn't quite understand their structure and looked curious and inquiring.
The Memory Beast was obviously frightened by them. It was about to move over, but it froze inexplicably in place, with the energy in its body swirling around, as if it was wondering what the other party was and why they had the God of Light and the God of the Underworld with them.
And... there are so many divinities mixed in him?
There are contradictions and irreconcilable forces. If they were to come together, they would definitely curse each other. However, they miraculously coexist in harmony, blessing and protecting the only one together.
The memory beast was stunned and felt fear instinctively.
It had never seen such an abnormal and terrifying existence!
The gray-robed man smiled, as if he was just passing by and saw something interesting, and said calmly: "So, why do you appear as a hero and what do you want to do to humans."
The memory beast paused.
It wanted to hesitate, considering how to answer, but was glared at by the ferocious little black bird. The suppression of the gods over the beasts was too absolute, and it was so scared that it spoke human words.
"Humans are so abominable. They want to invade the dream world. They deserve to die!"
After saying this, the core of the Memory Beast was visibly trembling, fearing that it had said the wrong thing.
The man in gray robe did not react to this, as if he found this statement boring, and fell into subtle silence for a moment.
The little black bird was impatient and said directly: "Those two people just now were not here to invade the dream. What happened to your race? Tell me quickly."
The Memory Beast was stunned and was glared at by the little black bird again.
God-level beings have an extremely powerful deterrent effect on any living creature.
Its energy body trembled again, and it quickly sorted out the information in its mind. It said respectfully: "A few months ago, humans invaded the dream and took away our compatriots. We must find them and take our compatriots back."
The sudden truth shocked people.
Xiu Si was surprised. Humans went to the dreamland to...rob memory beasts? Why?
Memorymon continued, "The human wants to use our special properties to become a perfect hero, and use the identity of a hero to kill whatever exists. Many of our compatriots have been killed, and they must have been used by that human to murder."
As soon as these words came out, Inbosi and Buyer, who were hiding under their robes, understood them first.
The person he wanted to kill seemed to be Luo Jie, right? And he almost succeeded, but Luo Jie was still lying there unconscious.
The little black bird asked: "Why do you want to become a hero?"
"Humans have used an evil method to change our forms. We often automatically read the memories of the heroes. It's not intentional."
Memorymon explained: "But I think doing this can destroy that human's plan and lure that human out."
So that's how it was, it was humans who invaded the dream first and robbed their compatriots. They attacked humans whenever they saw them, just to find the beast dealer.
Hughes understood, but was a little confused.
To the memory beasts, individual humans seemed to be directly equal to all of humanity. If one person committed a crime, would that mean that all of humanity was complicit?
The little black bird continued to ask: "Do you remember what that human looked like?"
The memory beast replied: "I can't remember. That person's state of existence is very strange. When we want to remember him, we find that he is also a kind of memory. We can only remember the real existence, not the projection, or the memory itself, so we can't remember it."
The little black bird frowned: "So there is no clue at all."
The little black bird was so majestic and powerful, worthy of being the god of the underworld who once bullied the heavens. A single look from him scared the memory beast so much that it quickly searched for useful memories in its brain!
As Hughes listened, he thought that it was understandable that the memory beasts wanted to find their compatriots and take revenge on the beast dealers. However, this approach would not only fail to achieve the goal, but would also cause trouble to other unrelated humans.
Moreover, if they searched randomly like this, they might not be able to find the animal dealer they were targeting even if they searched all of humanity.
At this moment, the little gray cat under the gray robe scratched his trouser legs, as if saying something.
Hughes seemed to fall silent.
However, this silence was simply deafening to the Memory Beast!
They are thoughtless and emotionless creatures themselves, but the closer they are to the real world, the more human or animal they become.
The real world is real and cannot tolerate emptiness. All empty things that reach the real world must be filled and add weight to themselves, otherwise they will float on the surface of the sea like floating algae.
It is still not used to human-like thinking and always feels it is very strange.
The gray-robed man who suddenly appeared was undoubtedly an extraordinary existence in its eyes, and was definitely a god!
It carefully waited for the other's reaction, afraid that it had offended this great being. If it had a heart, it would have exploded at this moment.
Especially being watched by two gods from the original series.
It was just thinking about it, and the other party seemed annoyed and said in a cold tone: "Your arrival has affected this area. You and your compatriots should go back first. I will help you find it when I have time."
The slightly irritated tone frightened its energy body so much that it almost dissipated.
But after hearing the end, it was so surprised that its energy body was about to explode.
They searched for several months but could not find any trace of that human being. However, the one before them was different. This one was so powerful and so great.
As long as He takes action, He might be able to find that human being immediately!
It was the word "free" that made it hesitate. The "free" the other party was talking about would not be a few years or even hundreds of years.
The memory beast paused.
The man in gray seemed to sense its hesitation, and his lips slightly drooped, seeming even more annoyed.
The memory beast trembled suddenly. If it disobeyed the other party, the whole clan might be destroyed!
It was terrified and immediately agreed, "Please help me!"
After saying this, it very cleverly formed all the information they knew into a ball of information light.
The little black bird took a look, flapped its wings and picked it up, reminding them to return to their dreams.
The memory beast was very understanding and disappeared quickly. It seemed that it would not dare to appear again for a while.
Zeus caught the information light body brought back by the little black bird, closed his eyes, and slowly digested the information.
Then, the man in gray robe also disappeared.
After a few minutes, the black fog faded, gradually receded, and retracted into the dream.
The personnel at the testing base were shocked.
"What happened in there?"
"The dream is actually... receding already?"
The news soon reached Simon's ears.
Simon rushed out in a hurry, sweating profusely, and couldn't help but say, "It's the Lord of the Abyss. This matter must be related to Him."
Everyone looked at each other in horror.
The continent's human alliance has conducted various studies on extraordinary existences, but the Lord of the Abyss is absolutely unknown to them.
Its purpose is unclear, its temperament is unclear, it cannot be controlled, and its attitude toward humans is unknown.
Leia pondered and said, "At least He hasn't harmed humans yet."
Argus detected the movement of the black fog, and was shocked and terrified. He turned to Simon and asked, "Has this matter been resolved? If the dream recedes, will the memory beast no longer appear?"
Simon was more cautious. "It's hard to say. I think the Lord of the Abyss was just passing by, and the Memory Beast must have been scared away by the Lord of the Abyss."
Leah nodded, "Yes, we still have to be careful. We don't know when they will appear again."
Argus breathed a sigh of relief, "At least the current crisis is resolved..."
The border is shrouded in mystery, and news reaches the palace of the Oedipus Empire.
King Levin was overwhelmed.
Levin grabbed his bangs and said in annoyance, "Come suddenly, leave suddenly, are all fantasy species so arbitrary?"
As a king, he has seen too little and has been startled these days. He is now completely confused.
He thought about it for a long time and still wanted to find the one ranked first.
Humans are ranked first. As long as they fight for it, they won’t be so passive anymore!
I searched more than 50% of the bookstores the day before yesterday, and there are still about half left to find. The number one human being might be among them.
Levin hurried to finish the government affairs at hand and prepared to go to the palace to do something big.
The other party.
The news that the Lord of the Abyss had reappeared spread throughout the world.
All the senior members of the Continental Human Alliance knew about it.
They talked a lot, some were shocked, some were terrified, and felt that they must come up with a countermeasure.
The old people said in unison: "We need to notify that person to come back."
“Who can contact that person?”
The person they were talking about was none other than the one who was originally ranked first and is now ranked second.
No one knows when that person came back from the warp, it seems he went to find the demon god Baal.
"We have to find a way to tell him about the mainland!"
Someone asked, "By the way, the Lord of the Abyss has the power of the God of Light and the God of Hades around him? Why is that? They are beings that don't give away their power easily, right?"
There were more and more mysteries and they really couldn't figure it out.
-
at the same time.
The news spread further afield.
Mountains of gold and silver dissolved into water, and Malbus was furious.
"Buyer, Inpos, are you really crazy? 'Lord of the Abyss' is the identity that Agares gave to my father. It only belongs to my father! You created a puppet for no apparent reason and flaunted it around the world. What's so fun about this!"
Malbus's body was molten gold, and the magic of the riot affected the entire basement and even the entire city.
Among all his compatriots, he hated falsehood and disguise the most. If Buyer and Impos were doing other things, he would not be so angry, but he chose to target his father.
What's the point of having the whole world compliment a fake father? What's the point of not being the father himself?
Back then, about four or five thousand years ago, Inbosi mentioned a plan at a family meeting, which was a plan to create the image of the "Lord of the Abyss".
As soon as Persian finished speaking, He was the first to object, and He opposed it firmly!
I never expected that because this little brother Persia was still determined to do something evil, he would actually carry it out today.
"Haha, interesting. The Oedipus Empire, huh? I'll go over and teach you a lesson right now."
Malbus sneered and made preparations to fight with his compatriots.
-
at the same time.
Zeus and the two cats are reading the information from the information ball.
Xius thought to himself, "Who exactly is the beast dealer, and who exactly does this person want to kill?"
Hearing this, the little ragdoll cat suddenly meowed.
He thought, come to think of it, if the beast dealer's target is Roger...wait, there is no need to use the memory beast to kill Roger, right? Roger's strength is not stable before or after taking the resurrection potion, there are plenty of opportunities to kill him. Why must the memory beast be used?
For insurance? Because when Roger saw his old friend's face, he would relax his guard for a moment, revealing a flaw, making it easier to kill him?
Boyer didn't understand. He didn't like to think about complicated things.
At this moment, Inbos's left paw hit his right paw, and he suddenly figured it out and told Buyer through voice transmission.
"Killing Roger is just a small test, the real target is my father!"
Buyer was so frightened that he meowed. How could this be possible!
Inpos continued, "When the fake hero killed Roger, if Eliorg hadn't arrived in time, Roger would have been killed without anyone noticing."
"You don't need to use a memory beast to kill Roger, but if no one knows, it doesn't matter if you use it. It's a good opportunity to try out the knife."
Good man, that’s damn it!
The two cats were extremely angry, but they didn't expect that this matter would be directed to their father.
Could it be that the "Priest Xilin" did it? Why is this thing so haunting?
The two cats were so angry that their faces turned dark and their claws clenched.
Xius just lowered his head and found that his cub was suddenly unhappy, with a gloomy face and murderous eyes.
Wait, murderous intent?! Father Xiu was startled and immediately thought of a solution.
Buyer realized that his expression was wrong, as if his father had seen through something, and he immediately raised his face and tried to act cute.
But as soon as He raised His head, His head was "attacked".
The young man looked at Him, his eyes fixed on His head, and slowly smiled.
The little ragdoll cat was stunned, not knowing what was going on.
The young man then produced a mirror out of thin air and let Him see himself clearly in the mirror.
He opened his eyes wide and saw the pink bow on his head!
What a beautiful meow! He jumped for joy.
It turned out that his father had put a bow on him! I like it! The little ragdoll cat was ecstatic and rubbed it again.
This bow was modeled by Hughes, and it will not affect His freedom or make Him uncomfortable. It just looks good.
Seeing that his child was unhappy, Hughes thought of ways to make the child happy.
The gray cat next door saw this and was so jealous that he almost wrote "I also want my father to treat me specially" on his head.
Zeus turned his head and grabbed a small silver bell from the void.
The gray cat's eyes lit up, and it meowed, then immediately stretched its neck.
Hughes put it on Him.
He walked happily, the bells jingled, a gift from his father, happy meow!
"Your current form seems to be very suitable for these gadgets."
Hughes commented with a smile.
The two cats nodded. They were in a bad mood just now, but now they are very happy.
The little ragdoll cat rushed into his father's arms and rubbed against him, almost knocking him down.
“Meow meow!”
Dad, dad, I love you the most!
Hughes stroked the soft fur of the little doll and couldn't help but say, "Dad is working hard to upgrade. I can only do this for you now, but I will definitely do more for you in the future."
The two cats' eyes were filled with tears and they were meowing.
They are thousands of years old, but when facing their father, they are still the children they were before.
It was as if... they wanted to make up for their imperfect childhood. They wanted to be children forever in front of their father!
The two cats were so excited that they lost all their gloom.
Also, there are too many siblings in their family. Every time they want to get closer to their father, other siblings will block them. After a lot of effort, many of their siblings are not around.
Of course they have to seize this opportunity! They are trying to improve their father's favorability.
As if he knew how they felt, Zeus patted their heads one by one and said, "Well, we took a big risk today and gained something. Let's first check what happened and digest it. OK?"
“Meow!”
The two cats said in unison.
Having said that, Zeus is not a professional intelligence officer after all and does not know much. In the absence of new intelligence, he can only be stuck here for the time being.
He was not anxious because he heard that the dream invasion had stopped and there was no need to rush into investigating the suspect.
Let’s focus on improving our strength first. Today, I relied on the little black and white bird to scare the memory beast, but it may not work next time.
Thinking about this, Zeus glanced at the system box and found that the two birds were sleeping soundly again.
They are little birds, but they seem to have grown up a bit. I have to adjust their models when I have time, otherwise they may not grow up.
There was still a lot to do. Fortunately, Hughes had experience in project management, otherwise it would have been a mess.
He turned his head and looked at the situation of the small light body.
He is a child entrusted to him by a god from another world, so he has to keep an eye on his situation every day.
Now it seems that the light of the little light body is getting brighter and brighter, and it is recovering steadily. It should only be a matter of time before it returns to its original appearance, but we still need to pay more attention to it. After all, it is a child who was eaten once, and it is a miracle that he can be successfully rescued and survive.
"You have to be strong and survive."
Xius said silently.
-
Seeing that Hughes started to get busy, the two cats looked at each other.
Bujer took Imbos by his claws and took him to his medicine house in the warp.
Buyer's pharmacy was full of bottles and cans, completely untidy and looked dirty and messy.
As soon as Yin Bosi entered, he was stunned by the smell of medicine. It was difficult for him to describe what kind of smell it was. He almost went crazy after just smelling it, so he had to use magic to make a mask.
Buyer ignored him and walked straight to Roger's bed.
"Luo Jie's body, bah! His physical condition is very bad. He was seriously injured and his strength declined due to old age. His body has been getting worse day by day. After taking the first dose of resurrection potion, he was able to regain his vitality. After taking the second dose of resurrection potion... he barely managed to survive."
Buyer continued, "He was attacked by the memory beast of the brave Mingjie. The brave Mingjie is the strongest thief of all races, and his second job is assassin. The knife that stabbed into Roger's chest contained a strong poison, enough to kill Roger a hundred times. In this situation, any doctor would be dead. He was lucky to meet me."
Yin Bosi turned around and asked, "So... can he be saved?"
Buyer lowered his eyes, his expression somewhat complicated, "It all depends on his will. His soul seems to have sunk into a deep dream. If he doesn't want to wake up, I can't force him to wake up."
Inbos frowned, because Roger must live and his father needed this old friend.
Buyer: "It's hard to say anyway. I've seen many people sink into dreams, even our second brother has sunk into dreams. Dreams are a mysterious place. If Luo Jie doesn't wake up, he may sleep forever."
“…”
Yin Bosi said, "Should we tell our father about this?"
Buyer: "Wait a minute. After all, Roger is a brave man, and his mental strength should not be underestimated."
The hero on the bed is sometimes young and sometimes old, as if he is constantly switching states in a dream.
Inpos didn't know whether Roger could realize that the person who attacked him was a memory beast, not his former companion.
If you didn't notice...
Inbos' eyes dimmed.
As the builder of modern human magic, he is proficient in magic of all major systems.
However, there was one kind of magic that He couldn't figure out, and that was emotion.
If only He could control His emotions, then maybe He could rescue Roger.
Buyer suddenly asked, "By the way, do you know the situation of those six heroes and the relationship between them?"
Of course Inbos knew.
Each of the six heroes has his own personality. Wang Changer is a leader and a tolerant person. He is older, has social experience, and is mentally stable, making him the most suitable leader. He is also a person with a strong sense of responsibility and cares about everyone in the team.
Ye Qingyi looks gentle, but she is actually very arrogant and confident in her own abilities, especially the magic she created.
Chen Lingxi may be a little indecisive, but she is also a person who sticks to her own ideas. She will never give in when it comes to her basic beliefs.
Mingjie has a playboy personality and is rather frivolous. He has first-rate abilities, but is sometimes a bit rude and often provokes the gods.
Justin is a nice guy who has a low self-esteem and often doesn't express his opinions.
The relationship between the seven heroes can be divided into three stages: one is the gaming period when they get to know each other, one is the period of traveling to another world with shared hardships, and the last is the period after their father's death until now.
To be honest, during the first period, the relationship was just average. They heard from their father that everyone just came up to chat when they had time. They were familiar with each other but not that familiar with each other, and they would never talk about real things.
It was only during the second period that they really got to know each other. They had a good impression of each other and had shared hardships, so naturally they had a life-long friendship.
As for the third period... this is the period that my father doesn't know about.
According to historical records, after the first hero encountered misfortune, the team of heroes united unprecedentedly, rose up and exploded in just a few months, and even killed a god.
It was also during that period that they were nicknamed the Evil Gang, and would do anything to achieve their goals. When their companions got into trouble and even their bodies were not found, they always had to vent their anger and desire for revenge.
And hundreds of years later, the first member to leave the Brave Group, Mingjie, appeared.
There are not many historical records about the specific circumstances, and probably only the person himself knows the answer.
Later, Chen Lingxi left the team. Then Ye Qingyi left the team. Luo Jie left the team.
Only Wang Chang'er and Justin were left in the brave team.
Teams sometimes limit their own development, so some people speculate that they are not having any conflicts, but are strengthening their own strengths. But it is probably impossible to say that there are no conflicts at all.
In the past, my father was the glue that held the team together. Whenever there was a conflict, he would always try to mediate. After my father was gone, they each had their own personalities, and Wang Changer couldn’t lead them all alone.
Roger should have a good relationship with other heroes. He is close to Wang Chang'er and once helped Wang Chang'er establish the Continental Human Alliance, but he himself is more of a lone ranger.
They were separated for hundreds of years, and the second time they teamed up was when they fought against the alien god number 004. The continent was almost destroyed that time, and the six of them took on everything and saved humanity and all living beings on the continent from danger.
They are genuine saviors who have resolved countless crises, big and small, both recorded in history and not recorded in history. No one can deny their achievements, unless they are ungrateful and heartless.
Later, they separated and reunited many times. After knowing each other for a long time, they knew each other well and the conflicts seemed to have faded.
When people get older, they will let go of many things. Even so, they did not give up that obsession.
The seven of them came into this world together, and they wanted to leave together.
Complete and perfect.
Of course, the above mainly comes from Roger's memoirs, and the specific details are unknown.
Inbos roughly said it again.
Buyer was silent for a while, then suddenly clenched his fist and said, "Okay! We need to reunite father with his friends!"
-
at the same time.
Malbus appeared in the imperial city of the Oedipus Empire, his eyes blazing with fire, ready to search out his two beloved compatriots.
"Well, there are also fake ones."
