The legendary Ninth Heaven is the place closest to God. Du Ze doesn't know what the Ninth Heaven of Divine Comedy is like, but the Ninth Heaven of the Celestial Clan is indeed a very strange place.
It was a space filled with light. Two huge white slabs of stone were suspended in the sky. Because the element of light was everywhere, all objects, including the shadows of the slabs, did not exist, giving people a sense of emptiness. It was difficult to describe how huge the two white slabs of stone were. a huge...door?
Under the white stone slabs, there is an extremely majestic and elegant building. The spiral staircase fully reflects the ultimate luxury of the Baroque style, standing in front of everyone like a white giant. The Celestial Clan who brought Du Ze and Xiu and his party here pointed at the spiral staircase and said, "We will go up from here."
Du Ze's expression froze. The spiral staircase in front of him was at least a hundred stories high. Are your wings just decorations?
"Why not fly up?" Enoch asked.
"If you can do it." The Celestial Clan glanced at the thief with contempt and stepped onto the stairs first.
After the Celestial Tribe said this, everyone realized that in this space, not to mention flying, even jumping was not allowed. It was as if there was an invisible hand on everyone's shoulder. Once someone tried to leave the ground by air, they would be held down and unable to move. Xiu's space magic was also banned. This kind of coercion and the ban on weapons were all rules set by the God Tower. No one could shake the rules, so they could only follow the Celestial Tribe to climb the stairs.
Layer after layer, circle after circle, Du Ze had already died on the twentieth layer, and was carried by Xiu all the way with his breath frazzled. A certain silly cute sadly discovered that the cute master seemed to have developed a shameful habit of carrying him like a princess, and then even more sadly discovered that he had shamefully become accustomed to the cute master's princess carrying.
As for moral integrity, you'll get used to it after losing it over and over again.
When he reached the middle of the stairs, Xiu suddenly stopped. He stared at the central column of the spiral staircase. His sharp eyes seemed to see through the wall.
"What's in here?"
The Celestial stopped walking after hearing this. He knocked the central column with his staff. In front of's eyes, the white wall of the column gradually disappeared, revealing the contents inside. Verla and Alice covered their mouths in surprise. In front of them, in the center of the spiral staircase, a giant was imprisoned. top of the spiral staircase, but the pattern did not move.
The Celestials put down their staffs, and the walls that had disappeared gradually returned. "As you can see, there is only a Titan inside."
Emma, that's a Titan! In the setting of "Mixed Blood", Titans are demigods born from the union of gods and gods! They are placed here as pillars by the Celestials. Du Ze didn't know how to complain. At the last moment when the wall healed, he seemed to see the Titan in the cylinder raised his eyebrows, and the sad eyes flashed with a look of help.
Is this a flag for some event? Is Du Zewo thinking in Xiu's heart, or is it just a simple episode?
The group continued to climb the stairs and soon reached the end of the spiral staircase. Du Ze was finally put down and stepped on the circular altar at the top of the spiral staircase. The huge stone slab in the sky was now within reach. Only when he stood at the top of the spiral staircase did he realize how terrifying the size of the white stone slab was. Under its cover, Du Ze could not see the sky at all.
"My God is on the other side of the door." The Celestial Clan raised their long staffs, pointed to the center of the altar under the white stone slab, and declared in an impassioned tone: "God of Light is above, Master Xiu, please kneel on the holy stone and swear to God, and you will become the next governor!"
The stone slab in the sky was actually a "door", and the boss was at the other end of the door. Du Ze's eyes moved to the center of the altar. Does this mean that the cute master must kneel there before he can see the arrogant God of Light?
——Are you kidding me? (Comic face)
Du Ze felt from the bottom of his heart that they had encountered the biggest challenge ever in the God's Tower. It was easy for other climbers but it was extremely difficult for them - the Lord of Moe kneeling down before the God of Light... It was simply unimaginable!
"The God of Light is behind this door?" Xiu Yu asked.
The Celestial Tribe nodded carefully: "Yes, so please kneel down before the God to show..."
"kneel--?"
Under everyone's gaze, Xiu glanced at the Celestial Clan member and slowly smiled. "Why should I kneel?"
The Celestial Clan's breath paused as he was stared at by a pair of red eyes that seemed to drag him into the abyss of blood. His words were as intermittent as his breathing: "You, you must become a follower of the God of Light before you can--"
"To become a governor?" Xiu continued the Celestial Clan's words, his lips curved in a way that looked puzzled but was in fact mocking. "Then what? Like the previous governor, lead the patrol officers to collect light elements everywhere?"
Du Ze's eyes widened slightly in shock. Xiu's words turned into a massive amount of information that instantly filled his brain. At that moment, he seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing.
"The last governor was also a tower climber, right?" Xiu casually said a shocking fact. "As long as I kneel down, I will become the governor... No," Xiu rejected the previous statement, with a smile on his face. "Should I say a puppet?"
Boom—Du Ze's heart skipped a beat. At that moment, he understood everything. This was the biggest trap in the Celestial Tribe dungeon. The Celestial Tribe had been talking about "becoming the Governor" from the beginning to the end. If the climbers followed the Celestial Tribe's steps, the final outcome would really be "becoming the Governor". Tower would never say the word "clear the level" no matter what. They were equivalent to NPCs in the game, and naturally would not have concepts and vocabulary beyond the game. So, although the previous Governor was a very authentic Celestial Tribe, he was actually a climber...?
The more he understood the layout of the Celestial Tribe dungeon, the more frightened Du Ze felt. If he made a mistake, he would be trapped deeper and deeper in the Celestial Tribe dungeon like stepping into mud. Du Ze didn't know how many tower climbers had failed because of this "kneeling", but the number must be quite a lot. Because whether it is a living being or a god, there is a tendency to blindly obey the powerful party. Little did they know that the divine tower that set the rules had always followed the settings of Yi Ye Zhi Qiu.
[The Celestial Tribe paid for humility and took away healing. ]
True arrogance is not only directed at people of lower classes, but also at the desire to step on those in higher positions.
The silver-haired dragon looked up at the huge gate in the sky, and the blood-red ambition deep in his pupils seemed to want to burn the existence behind the gate to ashes.
"I'm here to kill you, not to be your puppet."
The huge gate that blocked out the sun and sky hung heavily above, as if mocking the insignificance and arrogance of the people below. The Celestial Clan, who was shocked by Xiu's words, came back to his senses with great effort. He pointed at the disrespectful Xiu, and his previous respect was gone. "Are you going to fall?"
Xiu tilted his head slightly, and the light-colored hair fell onto the mocking curve of his mouth.
"I've wanted to do this for a long time."
This was like a signal. Du Ze felt the back of his hand getting hot. When he raised his hand, he saw the mark of a broken wing on his left hand. Being judged as a fallen person at this time made Du Ze not know whether to cry or laugh. Rachel and others who had not experienced the patrol were a little confused about the broken wings that appeared inexplicably on their hands, but they quickly entered a state of preparation for battle, because at this time countless Celestials were rushing in from all directions, and their momentum was obviously not good.
Due to the restriction on flying, it would take some time for the Celestial Clan's army to come up. Du Ze looked up at the floating giant gate above. During this time, they had to find a way to pass through the giant gate.
As Du Ze was thinking, his gaze naturally moved downwards. When he saw the altar at his feet, he suddenly remembered one thing - that Titan!
The entire spiral staircase was built around the Titan, and even the altar at their feet was lifted by the Titan. The tower had already given them a hint that as long as they freed the Titan from his shackles, it would be easy for them to open the giant door.
Having figured it out, Du Ze looked at Xiu excitedly, wanting to tell the little cute master his discovery - eh?
Seeing the tall and handsome silver-gray-haired young man beside him suddenly shrank into a fair-skinned boy, the sudden gap made Du Ze's brain unable to wrap its head around it.
The flax-haired dwarf stood in the center of the altar and stretched out his hand toward the huge stone door. His oversized sleeves and star chains slid down his slender wrists, making him look somewhat funny and cute. However, no one dared to despise that small figure. In the astonished eyes of Enoch and others, several thick metal pillars suddenly pierced out of the void as if piercing through thin paper. As if stretching out clothes, the metal pillars pulled to both sides, and the void was torn into a huge space crack, revealing a metal mechanical face.
"What...is that...?" Enoch's voice was like a broken radio, intermittent and jammed, and his expression was full of disbelief; Rachel looked at the mechanical face, breathing heavily, as if recalling some nightmare.
The huge "eyeballs" on the mechanical face turned, and every creature that caught a glimpse of it shuddered. As the metal pillar tore, the crack in the space became larger and larger, and the things inside gradually revealed their full appearance: the head, the body, the arms - everyone realized that the metal pillar that was about ten meters long was actually just the finger of that huge creature!
Tear——
Ariel couldn't help but cover her mouth. Even though she couldn't make a sound, she still wanted to scream. A mechanical puppet that almost occupied the entire field of vision stepped out of the broken space and stood in front of everyone. In the shadow of Kabbalah, Xiu raised his head and smiled sweetly. He spread his five fingers, and through the gaps between his fingers, the small and even delicate hand seemed to completely control the huge door and the person behind the door.
"Open the door."
Just like a good friend who came to visit, Xiu's soft voice melted like sugar in the sound of the mechanical puppet standing up. Kabala raised the mechanical arm and supported it on the white giant door. It was too huge, and every move would cause the whole space to shake.
“Boom boom boom—”
The arrogant giant door trembled violently, and the whole world was shaking. The spiral staircase collapsed bit by bit, taking countless Celestials with it. Du Ze no longer had the energy to dig into the fact that the bird-reading Celestials would actually fall to death. He tried to stabilize his body while shaking. Even though he knew in advance that the cute master had the Kabbalah, a killer weapon, when Du Ze witnessed all this with his own eyes, he still instinctively felt a little fear.
So powerful...
The huge mechanical puppet opened its metal mouth and let out a silent roar. Under the terrifying thrust of the eight-star mechanical puppet, the white giant door finally couldn't bear the weight and was pushed open a crack by Kabbalah. Dazzling light penetrated through the crack in the door, engulfing everyone in a dull roar.
Du Ze felt that the world was dyed pure white in an instant, and when the white faded a little, gold occupied the entire field of vision. Du Ze stared at the magnificent temple in a daze. Not only him, but almost everyone fell into an inevitable state of shock because of this instantaneous space change. Only Xiu stared at the throne in front of him from beginning to end, but the corners of his mouth were not soft. "Long time no see."
On the throne, the God of Light looked down at Xiu, his eyes full of complexity.
Du Ze's eyes wandered between Xiu and the God of Light. This was the third confrontation between Xiu and the God of Light, and it was also the final duel that had been predetermined. Every novel has a final BOSS, who is the ultimate goal of the entire novel. After being defeated, the novel will end. Although it is very popular in YY novels now to add a hidden BOSS after the final BOSS, emotionally speaking, the hidden BOSS that only jumps out at the end can never compare to the final BOSS of the entire book that the protagonist has to deal with, just like Xiu and the God of Light now. Dealing with the Temple of Light, headed by the God of Light, has always been the main plot of "Mixed Blood". Whether it is the initial judgment or the subsequent pursuit, the Temple of Light has always wanted to kill Xiu; whether in the Sky City or in the Beast Tribe, the God of Light has never concealed his murderous intentions towards Xiu - the final boss tried to kill the protagonist, just as the protagonist opened the cheat code. This mutual hostility is irreconcilable and constantly accumulating. Therefore, although a lot of information currently implies that there will be a hidden God of Creation after the God of Light, compared to the vague God of Creation, the one that the Lord really wants to defeat should be the God of Light in front of him.
Without any unnecessary greetings, Xiu said to the God of Light directly: "I am very busy."
The dwarf smiled as if urging his friends to press the "Ready" button. "Let's finish it quickly."
Kabbala's mechanical arm brushed past Xiuyi and smashed towards the throne in an instant. Although its body was huge, its movements were incredibly fast.
"Boom!!!"
The throne was crushed into powder in an instant, and the strong wind pressure blew away the dwarf's light chestnut hair. Xiu smiled in the wind, a smile that was too innocent, with a child-like pure cruelty. Kabala raised his heavy fist, and the broken throne was empty, and the God of Light disappeared.
Everyone was alert. Kabala tilted his huge head, looking clumsy and cute. In fact, his mechanical eyes scanned the entire temple at that moment, and then quickly located a certain point in the air. The entire temple was similar to the vault structure of the Pantheon in Rome. It was very large and could even accommodate Kabala. Wisps of light gathered above the temple. The God of Light looked down at the huge eight-star mechanical puppet from high in the sky. He did not dodge Kabala's attack just now, but was crushed and reborn again. When he saw Xiu smiling at him, the God of Light could no longer maintain his high-handed attitude, and his expression became distorted in an instant.
Compared to him who was imprisoned here by the power limit of the divine tower, that person was already strong enough to trample him underfoot. He could fully foresee how brilliant the future of that person favored by the rules would be - that heretic would replace him, no, it should be said that he would surpass him and become the true head of the gods, revered by all spirits.
He is not willing!
Jealousy made the eyes of the God of Light mad. He would kill the heretic, even if the rules did not allow it, even if he had to pay any price, he would kill the heretic -
Before the God of Light could fully condense his body, Kabala had already reached out and grabbed him. Under the power brought by the huge mechanical hand, even the gods seemed as small as ants. The God of Light lost his body again without any resistance, but as long as there was light, he could be reborn countless times. Far away from Kabala, the God of Light quickly reassembled his body, and this time he used divine magic without waiting for his body to fully recover.
The familiar huge ball of light once again filled Du Ze's vision, like a setting sun falling towards them. Without Xiu giving any instructions, Kabala had already clenched his metal fist and punched the ball of light.
"Bang--"
In the dazzling light, a giant, somewhat melted mechanical hand penetrated the shattered light and instantly crushed the God of Light into powder.
Verla and the others watched all this in a daze. The battle between Kabala and the God of Light had no impact on this place. Du Ze looked at Xiu, who was at ease beside him. The cute master with Kabala was simply invincible. However, the more powerful something is, the more fatal weaknesses it has. To drive such a terrible mechanical puppet, the energy required is extremely terrifying - three godheads plus 10,000 dragon crystals and countless other rare materials can only keep Kabala active for one day.
The God of Light once again reshaped his body in the light and got into a tug-of-war with Kabbalah. War of attrition is the specialty of the Nanny-type profession. The God of Light only needs to drag the battle until Kabbalah's energy is exhausted to win the battle.
"Can you create an elemental barrier?" Xiu suddenly asked Rachel.
Rachel was stunned for a moment, then nodded respectfully and replied, "Yes, but it will take some time."
"Go and seal up the temple."
"Yes, your highness."
The demons scattered to various corners of the temple and began to carve magic circles. The God of Light noticed and tried to stop them, but was blocked by Kabbalah. The occasional missed attacks were also resolved by Old John and Moore.
The purple-black magic circle took shape little by little on the white floor of the temple, as if it was a blasphemy against holiness. When the magic circle was completed, Rachel inserted the double swords into the center of the magic circle and activated it. The entire temple was instantly "sealed" by a transparent membrane, and the elements from the outside could not enter, and the elements inside could not leave. At the same time, Kabbalah shattered the magic of the God of Light. It no longer attacked the God of Light, but used its giant palm to protect Xiu and Du Ze and his group.
In the last second when Kabala protected him with his palm, Du Ze saw the mechanical puppet opened its mouth and inhaled hard like a living person. The next second, shadows enveloped all of Du Ze's vision. He could not see what was happening outside, but could only feel the occasional vibrations, which were probably the God of Light using magic to hit Kabala. Even under such an attack, Kabala covered everyone's hands and remained motionless.
When Kabbala raised his hand to release everyone, Du Ze looked at the scene in front of him and was confused for a moment - was he still in Kabbala's hands? What he saw was no longer the magnificent temple, but the darkness with no end in sight. Du Ze looked up at the huge mechanical puppet stupidly. Did Kabbala just swallow all the light elements in the temple? !
Since the God of Light can remain immortal in the light, all we need to do is get rid of the light.
Kabara stretched out his hand to grab the God of Light, but this time there was no light element to restore the God of Light's body. If he was grabbed firmly, he would be crushed into powder.
"Don't kill—"
Du Ze had only said halfway to stop Kabbala when he held the God of Light's hand. At that moment, Du Ze seemed to hear the sound of his heart stopping. He still had many things he wanted to ask the God of Light, such as the conversation they had in the Sky City, and... the God of Creation.
Xiu glanced at Du Ze and then turned away. Du Ze saw Kabala pick up something from his palm and kneel down. On his fingertips was the God of Light that he thought was destroyed by the Lord of Moe. Kabala pinched the wings of the God of Light and placed them in front of the stunned Du Ze like a gift.
Du Ze couldn't help but look at Xiu, and found that the dwarf was looking away with an expression of indifference, and only half of his white and tender cheeks could be seen. Du Ze always knew that the God of Light had always been a quick kill for Mengzhu, and now the God of Creation had also become Mengzhu's minefield. Even so, Xiu still put the God of Light, whom he wanted to kill, in front of him, and asked him to ask for information about the God of Creation, whom he hated the most.
Du Ze was deeply moved. In order to live up to the kindness of the cute master, a stupid cute decided to fight quickly. Du Ze walked in front of the God of Light. The moment he approached, the God of Light, whose wings were pinched by Kabbalah and could not move, suddenly raised his head and showed an indescribable expression when he saw Du Ze clearly. "It's you."
Du Ze was not good at speaking, so he got straight to the point: "Do you know any news about the God of Creation?"
Like other main gods, the God of Light was also stunned at first when he heard Du Ze asking about the God of Creation. However, when he came back to his senses, there was no doubt in the eyes of the God of Light, but clarity - as if Du Ze asking about the God of Creation was the most normal thing for him.
"Of course I know."
Du Ze felt his blood circulation speed up. He stared closely at the only god who might have clues now. His heart was beating with anxiety because of the truth that was about to come. "Tell me."
"I will tell you." The God of Light looked at Du Ze with a twisted burning gaze. He stared at Du Ze almost eagerly, as if the black-haired young man was a devil who could fulfill his revenge, even at the cost of his soul. "But after you kill him!"
Even without specifying the name, everyone knew who the God of Light was referring to. In this regard, except for the person involved, the only feeling of the people present was that it was ridiculous - how could Du Ze kill Xiu?
And Du Ze rejected the God of Light as everyone thought: "I will not kill Xiu."
"Don't you want to know the news about the God of Creation?"
Du Ze shook his head. His tone was very ordinary, as if he was stating a piece of common sense that needed no explanation or argument.
"Even if I can't get any information about the God of Creation, I won't kill him."
——Even if I stay here forever, I won't kill him.
The God of Light looked at the black-haired young man opposite him. Just like before, this man rejected him again.
Even if he finally catches his desire, he will give up his own desire and persistence for the heretic and follow the heretic without regrets.
"ha..."
That's ridiculous. That's really ridiculous.
"I have changed my mind. I will now tell you about my relationship with that person."
This person is obviously, obviously——
"You are the one chosen by the God of Creation, the only one who can kill that heretic." The God of Light smiled distortedly. "The reason I came to you is because that one told me so - the only meaning of your existence is to kill him!"
The voice of the God of Light echoed in the darkness, clearly reaching's ears. Du Ze stood there in a daze, and the others focused their eyes on Du Ze in astonishment, even Xiu slightly widened his eyes. However, it was that moment of absent-mindedness that allowed everyone the God of Light to seize the opportunity he had coveted for a long time.
An eye formed by light suddenly opened in the darkness. This was the first one, and soon there was a second, a third... countless eyes opened in the darkness. They were densely packed in all directions, staring at the creature in the center. Kabbalah no longer held the wings of the God of Light, because the wings of the Celestial Clan had melted into light spots like snow and were absorbed by the sphere on the chest of the God of Light.
Du Ze stared at the eye-shaped sphere in disbelief. Is that - the judgment?
No, although it was very similar to the Judgment that Lilia had used in the Sky City, the sphere suspended in front of the God of Light was even more exquisite and terrifying. It seemed to have been freed from some kind of restriction, revealing its true form.
"This is my weapon, Judge."
It's really a ruling!
Du Ze was choked by the words of the God of Light. Judgment is the strongest weapon of the Celestial Clan. It has the characteristics of sacrifice. This kind of weapon is extremely powerful because it costs life. At the beginning, Xiu almost died under Judgment. Yi Ye Zhi Qiu did not write the detailed reasons, but just said that once locked by Judgment, there is no way to avoid its fatal attack.
"Don't look—"
Hearing Du Ze's reminder, the melting God of Light smiled mockingly.
"Real adjudication never needs to be locked up."
In countless pairs of eyes, the God of Light disappeared until only half of his face remained. Even with only half of his face, one could still see how malicious his expression was.
"Because it's a rules weapon."
The God of Light said, "You are already dead."
These words were like spirit, becoming reality the moment they were spoken.
“Du Ze…!”
The sudden pain made Du Ze's face twisted for a moment. He bit his teeth hard, wishing he could break them to get rid of the excruciating pain. Cold sweat wet his black hair. Du Ze panted rapidly. In the dark vision, the judge opened his eyes as if he had just woken up, and then lazily arranged the black light that was about to be emitted.
Why did he feel so much pain? Even though the Judge hadn't launched an attack yet, he felt as if he had been pierced by countless rays of light, like a piece of rag with countless large holes in it.
Warm red liquid flowed down from his forehead and was about to flow into his eyes. Du Ze couldn't help but stretched out his hand to wipe it. When he saw a big hole on his right hand, he was completely stunned.
Why could he see the other side of his palm, why was it bleeding, why was it so painful - it was not just like that, he was now basically a piece of "rag"!
"This is the rule. Once it is set, it cannot be violated." The tone of the God of Light was very subtle, as if he was mocking others, but also as if he was mocking himself. "The rule of judgment has an absolute hit rate. No matter how you defend or evade, it is meaningless, because you have already been set by the rule to be penetrated."
Before it completely disappeared, the curve of the God of Light's mouth showed both satisfaction and madness.
"I finally killed you hahahahahahaha..."
...Impossible...How could Xiu die...!
The ominous words of the God of Light caused Du Ze more pain than the wounds that pierced his body. The black-haired young man held up his heavy eyelids and tried hard to find Xiu.
He just heard Xiu calling him...
Coo.
A large amount of blood gushed out, flowing out with the heat of life. The eyes were filled with darkness, and they silently witnessed the death of the black-haired young man.
Before his death, Du Ze was ultimately unable to see the person he cared about the most.
