Chapter 879 Road to the Dark Sea
"Teacher, you said... let me stop?"
Hearing the Stargazer's words, Gray Mist twitched the corner of his mouth, gradually relaxing from his previous stiff state, and his tone returned to being indifferent.
"Now?"
"The maintenance of the Yunival Dream is necessary for this world. The moment you open the passage to the Underworld, the dark beings lost in the cracks will immediately descend into the main material plane, and countless lives will die as a result. I believe you are also very clear about this."
The stargazer gazed at the gray fog with a wise gaze, and his voice was calm and deep.
"So, I won't let you open the passage."
"You can't save the world either, teacher. Your actions are like using mortal bandages to bandage the wounds of a person cursed by bleeding. It is just a futile effort to delay the arrival of the final moment!
From the beginning to now, you have always been like this, only caring about the false peace in front of you, but turning a blind eye to the despair in the future! "
A sneer appeared on Gray Mist's face, and a light gray scale appeared in his hand. On the tray on one side of the scale, the square trioctahedron core of Onichaos was shining brightly.
"My path is different from yours after all. Between the present and the future, I chose to gain a glimmer of hope for the future! As long as I can escape from Univar alive and leave this world, I will definitely be able to break through the legend, and in the endless years to come, I will find a new world in the depths of the underworld without any threat from darkness.
In that world, human beings can truly thrive and grow stronger, instead of waiting for the end of the world in false security!"
"well……"
Looking at the gray fog in front of him that had already made its decision, the stargazer sighed softly.
The dream of Univar does need to be opened in the future, but not now, and not by the gray fog in this form.
"You should know that in your current state, you are no match for me."
"Of course I know this, dear Mr. Bruntz! Facing the great you, the only remaining ninth-rank peak prophet, no matter how cautious I am, it is not too much.
Therefore, I specially prepared this for you. Although it can only be used twice at most, it is enough to exert a power close to the legendary level."
There was a hint of sneer on Gray Wu's lips, and the scale in his hand was shaking slightly, with a terrifying power brewing within it.
"Fate is fair. Any existence that is caught in the web of fate has its own 'weight'. And those who are inferior to fate, within the scope of the power of the scale, will not be able to interfere with those who are superior in any form.
Now, let us measure the 'weight' of your own destiny, compared to that of a former part of a true Outer God."
As the words fell, Gray Mist directly activated the Gray Scale in his hand.
With a slight cracking sound, a hideous crack suddenly appeared on the pillar in the center of the scale. At the same time, an invisible, noble and magnificent force suddenly descended, covering the entire top of the mountain.
A void-colored gas mass shining with starlight, symbolizing the stargazer, appeared at the other end of the balance tray, but as time passed, the side where the Onichaos core was placed still slowly sank.
"…Is this your plan?"
The stargazer frowned slightly. He could feel that as the tray sank, an invisible force of destiny enveloped his body. This force was not lethal, but it temporarily isolated him from the world.
The power of this isolation is strong, but not lasting. Stargazers can even sense that this isolation can only last for half a magic time at most, and then it will collapse due to being unable to maintain. But obviously this period of time is enough for Gray Mist to do what he wants.
The source of this power comes from the gray metal scale. At this moment, it is emitting a slight sound of being overwhelmed and is gradually collapsing.
Gray Mist could not fully control the power of Onichaos's core, so he could only make it into a temporary tool to delay time a little.
"You can leave for now, teacher! From now on, this is my stage—"
Looking at the Stargazer trapped by the power of the scales, Gray Mist breathed a sigh of relief.
For him, the most formidable enemy in the Stargazer plan had been temporarily dealt with by him.
Next, as long as he uses the last effect of the scale to eliminate another enemy in his plan who may pose a threat to him, his plan to escape from Unival will be a sure thing.
"It's really lively, you two."
At this moment, a calm voice sounded from mid-air, causing Gray Mist's expression to become gloomy again.
In mid-air, a black-haired, black-eyed young man who appeared out of nowhere walked down slowly and gracefully as if he was stepping on invisible stairs.
A hooded figure followed beside him. From the two or three strands of pure golden hair spilling out from under the hood, as well as the light cherry mouth and round nose, it could be vaguely seen that it was a girl.
"Man in the mirror, you finally dare to show up?"
After recognizing the unique destiny of the person, Gray Mist held the scales and looked at Avis with a stern expression.
"Why shouldn't I?"
Avis smiled, and her pure white magic dress shimmered in the aurora of the long night on the ice field.
"The core of Onichous has been in your hands for a long time. Now it is time to return it to its rightful owner, Lord Gray Mist."
"Haha--in that case, then come and get it!"
Listening to Avis's logic, Gray Mist laughed and raised the scale with a narrow crack in his hand again, pointing it in the direction of Avis.
The same mighty force of destiny that had trapped the stargazers came once again, and a colorless gas mass with a hint of silver light appeared on the tray at the other end of the scale.
But unlike the stargazer, this time, after the tray swung up and down several times, it actually began to gradually tilt towards the side representing Avis's aura.
"What?!"
Looking at this result, Gray Mist's eyes revealed a deep look of disbelief.
Even a ninth-level peak stargazer would be temporarily trapped by the power of Libra. How could you, a newly promoted ninth-level prophet, be higher in status than a stargazer? "Unfortunately, the trump card you prepared seems to be ineffective against me."
Sensing the fluctuations of the power of destiny, Avis' expression remained unchanged.
The core of Onichos is indeed of high status, but it is obviously not as good as the mysterious silver obelisk left by the high elf prophet Hill.
The next moment, as if it was the price of the failure of the restraint, under the unwilling gaze of the gray fog, accompanied by a crisp cracking sound, the gray scale suddenly broke into two halves.
But at this moment, Gray Mist's expression turned ruthless, and he suddenly grabbed the fallen Onichaos Core, and then rushed into the Tower of Destiny without looking back.
In this regard, the hooded Claire couldn't help but look at Avis, but the latter remained motionless, just quietly waiting for something.
“Boom—”
The next moment, an illusory and vicissitudes of ancient bell sounded suddenly, as if it came from the eternal river of time and space.
“Boom—boom—boom…”
At the same time, every stone brick of the tower lit up with silvery-white light, and endless illusory bell sounds echoed between the mountains and the ice field.
All the monsters living on the Eternal Night Ice Field instinctively looked in the direction where the bell sound came from, and then, with great fear as if they had seen their natural enemy, they madly fled in the opposite direction of the Tower of Destiny.
"What's going on?!"
This huge movement could no longer be concealed by the magic that Gray Mist had previously set up. Archbishop Gormore was immediately alarmed and looked towards the top of the mountains where the Tower of Destiny was located.
In his sight, a brilliant silver-white beam of light, with the stone tower as its foundation, penetrated straight into the depths of the cold night sky filled with the aurora.
At the point where the beam of light finally landed, a crack like an eye slowly opened. On both sides of the crack, all kinds of wonderful scenes from the dream world flashed by unpredictably.
And at the deepest part of the crevice, the dark sea sparkling with dark starlight revealed its true appearance.
