"Think about it, your mentor, and everything you cherish... I forgot that you have never had true love. Maybe you have, but you let it go in the end. Don't you want them to come back?" Rachel turned her face slightly.
There was a paranoia and arrogance in that look that Sean had never seen before.
"And you, little prince. Don't you want to see your mother again? And your real father, I didn't expect that more than 20 years later, you two related people would get together and become master and apprentice. Haha... I have to say that the fate of your group will always be connected, but no matter what, only I can untie the barriers in this world." Rachel still insisted.
It seemed as if in an instant, the innocent girl Rachel Christian in Sean's eyes disappeared forever. At this moment, she was just a paranoid and arrogant alchemist like Meredith back then.
"sad!"
"What did you say……"
"Why is it that people who take this bus always can't tell the difference?" Sean said calmly.
He patted Lucille's shoulder beside him. She was hesitating... because she seemed to believe what she said. The temptation of being able to resurrect the dead and control the rules of the world was too great.
Countless people in this world want to pursue the highest level, but no one can truly reach it. Once they can use magic to light a fire, they want to hunt. Once they can hunt, they want to use it to exchange for survival resources. Once they have survival resources, they begin to want power and status... Above power and status, they want control... Above control, they begin to want to dictate rules.
The legendary witch Kain, the legendary Abdullah, the maker of ranks Merlin...
This is a realm that all these legendary people have never been able to truly reach, but it has been pursued countless times by those who came after them.
Perhaps Nyarlathotep was right.
All of this was never given by it intentionally, but people asked for it themselves.
"No one can escape death, neither you... nor me. The Door of Truth is a lie. It shouldn't have existed in the first place!" Sean raised his voice a few degrees.
"ignorance."
Sean was yelling, and Rachel wasn't backing down either.
"I thought you, as the son of the Desert Queen, the future Desert King, and Lucille's disciple, would have some insightful opinions... but now it seems you're just as pedantic as those conservatives."
"Stubborn and stubborn, clinging to the old ways..."
"In the face of truth, you will always be just an ant that dares not raise its head." Rachel stood up.
Lucille didn't use her blade right away, but when she did, she discovered that this body was also a puppet. Her entire body gradually became ethereal, and her flesh-colored skin instantly swelled and solidified into metal-like armor.
"It's been many years since I told you, Lucille. The me you know is just the alchemist who was stuck at the 18th level of the Orderer ten years ago. I have been studying the manuscript of the legendary Abdullah since the day I opened it. I have gained many new powers from it!"
The gradually metallic body began to become similar to a puppet, and on the other side, where the four puppets were just now, one of them actually slowly grew a female body of Ricky.
"To tell you the truth, it was me who used some trickery to persuade King Williams to launch the war against the southern countries. It was also during that war that my mentor and the previous generation of alchemists were completely wiped out. That's why I'm able to hold this position and have so many living people to use for experiments."
"Once... twice... countless times..."
"To be successful, you need to make sacrifices. Sometimes you may not even be understood, even if that person is your own sister." The puppet changed into Rachel's original appearance and smiled evilly.
The alchemy array in her hand took shape and was directly introduced into the earth. At this moment, countless alchemy arrays began to appear densely on the ground of the entire library... and a similar puppet walked out of each array.
Dozens, no. In an instant, they became hundreds!
"Since you are unwilling to hand it over, I will take it myself."
Rachel finally understood the real situation.
The change that just happened made Sean finally understand why the puppets he saw in the other dimension were human-shaped black shadows. This was because these people were originally made from real people. Each of them was half a physical entity, and the black shadow was an unformed soul, so they behaved like normal people.
If he was a high-level warrior in his lifetime, he would be almost omnipotent with the golem puppet's anti-magic shell and the form that makes it invulnerable to physical attacks... A few of them could still be controlled, but now there are hundreds of them, filling the entire library.
"Let's go to an open area." Sean pulled Lucille's hand and ran from behind the door of the library, casting restrictive magic on his hand.
With a wave of his hand, a huge area of ice was frozen and a path was drawn.
"Don't let them get away," Rachel yelled.
As the two of them were about to leave, another group of puppets flew over...
【Time goes back~】
Sean immediately used his strongest control ability to make the time in the entire environment go back to the starting point a few seconds ago. However, the strange thing was that the metal shell was suddenly thrown back a few seconds ago, but the empty soul inside was exposed.
"You really do have special abilities." Rachel saw this strange scene.
But it was only for a moment, and the black shadow of the soul and the metal shell quickly merged together as if they were attracted to each other by gravity. However, these few seconds were enough for the two to pull the battle line outside the library.
The two jumped out of the library, and the puppet following them was exiled by Lucille's magic.
When Rachel chased out the door, the look in her eyes was no longer as friendly as before.
"You truly possess strange talents. It seems my suspicions were correct. Your mother once witnessed the Gate of Truth... That's why you possess such bizarre abilities. To be honest, I've investigated everyone involved in the Imperial Capital Incident your parents were involved in. Many soldiers, including the previous Emperor Williams, were plagued by bizarre events in their later years, and none of them met a happy end."
"Hehe, your stories have always been interesting. It's just that the real situation is not what you think." Sean was also a little angry. This guy had been imagining his own origins from the beginning.
Those who have never seen Yog-Sothoth cannot understand the existence of time and space...
Seeing the puppets attacking again, he stared at them and activated the power of [Time Ruler]... Under the overall environment, the entire time was pushed backwards.
The soul and the 'body' were separated instantly.
The metal shell is essentially the material basis, so time can determine its formation, but the emergence of soul consciousness is something from another realm, and even time cannot reverse its existence... It involves the name of another great three-pillar god.
Gauze Nicholas.
I can only use fireworks to see if it works...
