The short two-second hesitation allowed the ruler to read a small number of fragmented memories, including two unimportant conversations, a sonnet poem, a painting given to a friend, and even a small part of the plan under the depths.
There were also a few strange names.
"They're all useless."
The Amorphous Sea of Flowers fell into a short period of thought, then gave up. It was just a happy little flower, not good at thinking about such complicated problems.
"Your brains are very developed and useful. I'll leave it to you."
It said to the Abyss Jesters who were loyal to it.
A quarter of an hour later, the Abyss Jester Leukoplakia routinely uploaded the fragmented information to the shared dream of the Abyss Jesters.
The fragmented information was mixed together with the fragmented information. Like the other incomplete information, there was no value in distinguishing it.
After another five minutes, the alarm was triggered. An invitation to an emergency meeting was sent to all the Abyss Jesters within the sixteen depths.
Someone used his authority to convene an emergency meeting.
In the hall projected by the dream, one figure after another appeared. The Abyss Jesters from the various depths had arrived here.
They looked at their companions in confusion.
"What's going on, Hades?" someone asked. "Is there some urgent imperial order from the Withered King to pass on to us?"
"It has nothing to do with my employer."
The alchemist named Hades said indifferently, "Something happened!"
What was placed in front of everyone was the fragmented memories of the Origin Form.
There was also the name that was highlighted in red.
"Huai Shi?" Leukoplakia asked. "The Sword of Disaster?"
Someone said, "It seems that the Workshop Masters have offered a very high reward."
The dozens of Abyss Jesters exchanged glances. Tiancheng, who was at the forefront of the Jesters, asked, "I've heard that you seem to have suffered at his hands?"
"I'm not the only one who has suffered at his hands."
Hades said coldly. His expression was full of vigilance, like a cat whose hair was standing on end. "You haven't been in contact with him, so you don't understand. He's a threat, a disaster, an ant hole on a dam. The point is, he's coming to hell!"
He said decisively, "I can assure you that something big is going to happen — something very bad for us!"
The jesters were stunned for a moment before they were puzzled. "Is it really that exaggerated?"
"It's that exaggerated!"
Hades said decisively, "I suggest that we increase our vigilance in the near future, and increase our surveillance of all the entrances to Hell.
Prepare to deal with the Crowned. Once we find traces of them, we will eliminate them at all costs! "
Tiancheng pondered for a moment. "What's the reason?"
"There's no reason."
Hades said, "I don't have anything to convince you to be more vigilant. I don't know what he wants to do, and I don't know if he will come.
Even the information itself was not reliable enough.
This is all subjective judgment, personal narrow-mindedness, imagination, conjecture, psychological trauma, and intuition. "
Tiancheng shook his head. "This won't convince anyone."
"But I can assure you," Hades replied.
Someone raised his hand curiously. "Is he very strong?"
Hades was silent for a long time. "People like him can't be distinguished by their strength. I can only say that once he appears, no matter how small the problem is, it will become a big problem in the end."
"Sounds a bit like those bastards from the Golden Dawn," someone concluded.
"Almost. It's even more ridiculous than the Golden Dawn."
Hades sighed. "Trust me this time, really. I've been through this before, and I really don't want to go through it again."
After a short moment of consideration, the jesters looked at each other and came to the same conclusion. "Let's make the contract."
"Then let's make the contract."
Hades raised his hand and swore to the Element of Destruction, the Pied Piper. "Under the witness of all the mysteries, we will be honest with each other, work together closely, and never harbor any evil intentions.
I promise that everything I've said is based on my rational judgment. I need your help, and when necessary, I'll definitely pay you back with an equal amount. "
The moment the contract was completed, everyone felt a gaze from the deepest part of the Abyss.
It was recognition from the Pied Piper.
Even … there was a hint of admiration in it?
In any case, in the court where all members had to be equal and honest, Hades made a promise and guarantee, and everyone had to face this matter seriously.
The jesters of the Abyss were often known for their deceit and conspiracy, but in contrast, they respected the contract, as well as their respect for talent and ability.
Even if they regarded other things as dust, those who could come to this hall must be an existence similar to themselves, and must be respected and valued.
Even if this concern had no reason or evidence.
After a short meeting and discussion, the jesters who were loyal to the various rulers threw in their chips. More than sixteen depths of hell were stirred and began to operate because of the name Huai Shi.
It was just an incomplete piece of groundless information, and they threw in such a huge amount of chips. It could be said that it was crazy.
But was there a lack of crazy things in hell?
Peace was not the norm.
Perhaps Hades was oversensitive, but many of his colleagues had an unusual agreement and recognition for such a cautious attitude.
Anyone could be oversensitive, but who dared to put in such a big bet because of an inexplicable premonition?
At least at this moment, everyone had successfully reached a consensus.
Although they did not know what had happened …
But no matter the cost, they had to kill Huai Shi first!
.
.
In the loud roar, Huai Shi fell to the ground.
He tore open the solidified foam inside the airship with difficulty, climbed out with a dirty face, and encountered another wave of explosion.
"Bah, bah, bah …" He spat out the ashes in his mouth and looked around. "Is everyone okay?"
The victims raised their hands, indicating that they were fine.
The old scholar Anton, who was closely protected by Mr. Forster, did not lose a single hair, but only a handful of the coffee cup in his hand was left.
"I was going to sleep later, but now it seems that I won't be able to sleep." Anton shrugged regretfully.
Without Huai Shi's order, the others consciously began to count the losses.
Fortunately, the important supplies were placed separately in Raymond's Car of Destiny for safekeeping. Although the dragon insisted that he fell to the ground and twisted his little finger, in fact, there was no loss.
It was just that the airship that Lady Kusanagi had worked overtime to repair was gone.
After Huai Shi finished reading, he sighed. "The good news is that we still have a car."
"What about the bad news?" Gregory had already spat out melon seed shells all over the ground.
Huai Shi shrugged and looked up at the dark clouds above. "If we don't run quickly, there will be no more cars left."
The crisis of death came in waves.
At that moment, above the wasteland of the unknown hell, the sky suddenly exploded, and the endless dark clouds shattered in response, disintegrating like steel.
In its place were countless black dots that were rapidly enlarging.
They occupied the sky, and shadows covered the earth like a pitch-black blanket, falling to the ground.
It was an endless horde of hell!
"What the hell is that?"
Raymond poked his head out of the driver's seat, and when the radar in his eye sockets reported the estimated number, he instantly shrank behind the window and took a few deep breaths of the air conditioner.
He stepped on the gas pedal.
The heavy truck shook with a bang, and six flamethrowers flipped out and sped away!
Slip away, slip away!
At that moment, a high-pitched scream came from the sky, like the cry of a strange creature on the verge of death. Then, a shadow appeared on the ground out of thin air and expanded in an instant.
It covered a radius of a hundred miles!
Then, the ground cracked and the cracks spread. In the boiling shadow, one eye after another slowly rose along with the viscous darkness.
In the huge eyes that were several meters in size, scarlet eyes stared fixedly at the roaring truck. Countless eyeballs connected with each other in the viscous shadow, rose, and formed a wall that reached all the way to the sky.
It encompassed a radius of a hundred miles.
It turned into a sealing cage!
"The Threshold of Ten Thousand Eyes?!"
Gregory cursed.
This strange seal was actually a change in form when a large horde of hell came together. Once it was activated, it could be seen as a mass of people, and it was extremely difficult to deal with.
Every single eyeball was an individual. Their defensive capabilities weren't that high, but no matter how much power they exerted, they would all be concentrated on a single individual. At the cost of the individual's collapse, they would be able to maintain the seal.
Tens of thousands of eyes were all consumables.
To deal with this thing, the upper limit of the output of a single attack was not important, but the frequency was.
And the key point was that this thing was a one-time use!
Once it began to change shape, it could not be reversed no matter what. Once a large number of Origin Substances were used up, the Threshold of Ten Thousand Eyes would turn to ash.
Vanish into thin air.
Not to mention a small-scale conflict, even if it was on the border defense line, at a critical moment, such a thing could play an amazing strategic role!
But in the end, someone was using it here?
Just to hold them here?
What was it for?
"Yeah, what was it for?!"
Huai Shi angrily slapped the dashboard. What happened to quietly entering the village and not wanting guns? Why was it that as soon as they entered the village, they saw the villagers waiting there with guns in their hands, each holding a Gatling gun?! And they were all smiling and waving their hands. Little friend, we've been waiting for you for a long time!
Suddenly, they had a subtle feeling that they were being targeted …
There was a loud boom.
The seal that had risen from the ground was suddenly deformed under the impact of the truck, and then the entire truck was forcefully bounced back.
As the sky and earth spun, two eyeballs exploded into paste, but the seal of the Threshold of Ten Thousand Eyes was as firm as ever!
After a short shackle, the strange large group of creatures in the sky finally landed on the ground. Like sticky slurry, they shattered the moment they hit the ground, but quickly wriggled and reformed again, converging towards the truck, entangling the tires and the body of the truck, trying to penetrate through every opening …
Under the shattered dark clouds, the silhouette of a huge bone whale appeared. The rotting whale soared in the sky, and a stooped figure draped in grayish-black hemp clothes stood on the whale, blowing a low horn.
And so, countless white dust fell. After falling into the wriggling sludge, it quickly sprouted, grew, and spread.
Pale white bone thorns grew out of the sludge. In the blink of an eye, white bones covered the ground like a forest. Blood-colored fruits fell from the branches, turning into twisted mutants that pounced on the truck without any regard for their own safety.
Plague whale cultivators and undead species!
First, it was the Withered King's Nagilfa Fleet, and then it was the Sea of Thunder's signature large group!
Gregory was dumbfounded.
But this wasn't the main point. They couldn't even break through the defense of the truck itself. At best, they could only cause some obstruction and trouble.
The real key came from the vortex in the sky that was getting bigger and bigger.
No matter how you looked at it, it looked like a portal!
