Hoffa stood on the high ground and looked down at the huge and intimidating metal pipes, his heart was filled with horror.
He also knew alchemy, but compared to this terrible creation in front of him, his insignificant knowledge seemed to be somewhat insignificant. How on earth was this super monster that made even the gods flinch at the sight of it?
The answer was self-evident. At every section of the pipes, there were several fully-armed wizards holding magic wands.
They stood on the pipes, patrolling back and forth. Below them, there were countless mysterious creatures carrying military components. There were all kinds of creatures, murlocs, centaurs, giants, and mountain monsters. They were bound by curses and chains, placing the components in a fixed position, back and forth.
Hoffa could see that there was a thin and weak human who fell to the ground because he could not bear the heavy metal components on his back.
Not long after he fell, and when he was still trying to get up, the metal beside him started to squirm. It wrapped around the back of the man's neck like a slime. In the blink of an eye, the human seemed to have gone through the process of decay for hundreds of years, and turned into a skeleton in the blink of an eye.
The scene of a living person being swallowed by metal made Hoffa's hair stand on end. Thinking of the large number of skeletons he saw earlier, he took a deep breath, "Fatir, what have you done …?"
As if to answer his question, on a high platform the size of a basketball court in the distance, two figures of a man and a woman appeared.
Although they were thousands of meters away, Hoffa could still recognize them at a glance. They were Fatir and Chloe. Fatir was stepping on a ladder, step by step, walking towards the giant Celestial Globe in the middle of the field. Chloe, on the other hand, had a silly smile on his face, following behind him step by step. It was obvious that he was under the effect of the Soul Seizing Curse.
"Hey, what are you doing!?"
Hoffa was furious. He was not only angry at Fatir, but also at Nicole Lemay. What was that old thing thinking, sending her descendant into the mouth of the evil dragon, and not even showing her face?
His shout was heard by Fatir.
At the same time, it was also heard by countless working wizards. They pulled out their wands and looked up at Hoffa with vigilance.
"Don't interfere with me! Bach. "
Fatir glanced at him and waved her wand. Chloe, who was controlled by the Soul Seizing Curse, quickened his pace and ran towards the gigantic Celestial Globe.
The celestial globe slowly rotated, and countless metal ribbons slowly opened, forming a fish-eye shaped entrance that slowly opened in front of Chloe.
"Don't go in!"
On the high platform, Hoffa rushed down.
Fatir waved her wand at Hoffa. "Kill him!"
One by one, the wizards under his command disappeared with Mirage. Soon after, they appeared on the high platform one by one, raising their magic wands. Colorful magic wands flashed in the air like neon lights.
At the same time, after losing the control of the wizards, the enslaved mountain trolls, centaurs, giants, and muggles immediately went out of control. They threw away the heavy metal components on their bodies and rushed out in a flurry while screaming.
Some of them were trampled on the ground as they ran, and accidentally bumped into the pipes. The strange metal wriggling in the pipes was like a living creature, wrapping up those who came into contact with it and absorbing them cleanly.
The scene instantly fell into chaos. In the midst of the chaos, Fatir pounced towards the control panel. He stood below the gigantic clock and quickly equipped himself with some alchemy items.
"Don't even think about it!"
Hoffa was not afraid at all. He completely ignored the curses that were shot at him and rushed towards them. His palm extended towards Chloe in the air.
* Roar! *
A roar sounded.
He crashed into an invisible object and was sent flying backwards, crashing heavily into the black dome. Following that, countless Explosive Curses were cast by the Adepts.
* Boom! Boom!
* The dome of the Mystical Affairs Department was bombarded into a mess. Rubble rustled and fell straight down.
In the billowing smoke, Hoffa entered the Shadow World. The Shadow Dragon that he had kicked away earlier returned, roaring and biting at him.
Seeing that Chloe was about to step into the gigantic Celestial Globe, Hoffa did not dare to tangle with the Shadow Dragon. He stepped on the ceiling and disappeared in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Chloe, trying to stop her from having her soul stolen.
Fatir's reaction was not slow either. He seemed to have expected this. The moment a huge hole appeared in the ceiling, he Mirage appeared behind Hoffa and elbowed him in the ribs, causing him to tilt his body and fall down the stairs.
"Scram!" After that, he grabbed Chloe's arm and was about to use Mirage.
A second before he used Mirage, Hoffa grabbed Fatir's leg and swore to drag him out. However, Fatir was much more decisive and ruthless than he had imagined. He changed his wand into a sword and directly cut off his left calf.
Then, Mirage disappeared without a care.
Hoffa looked at the calf in his hand in shock.
"Lunatic …"
* Pa! *
Fatir appeared at the entrance of the Celestial Globe in Mirage and pushed Chloe in. She smiled foolishly, not knowing what had happened.
The gigantic spinning Celestial Globe flashed with lightning. The moment she entered, she opened her arms and floated in the middle of the Celestial Globe. Her eyes turned pure silver.
"Damn it!"
Hoffa was distressed and angry. He threw away the calf in his hand and rushed towards Fatir with his four wings spread.
Fatir stood on the spot with one leg and looked at Hoffa who was approaching rapidly, sneering.
Boom!!
Hoffa once again crashed into an invisible dragon.
But this time, he did not hold back.
"Don't bother me, stinky bug!"
Along with Ghost Walk's furious punch, the giant dragon hiding in the shadows was punched in the head. The twenty-meter-long giant dragon collided with the small fist, like a truck hitting a metal bridge pier. Its tail was lifted up high, and the long crocodile head was directly smashed down and fractured.
The huge impact was like a meteor.
The invisible shadow dragon crashed to the ground like a cannonball, and the ground suddenly shattered into a spiderweb fissure with a radius of more than ten meters. The deepest fissure in the middle of the fissure was more than a meter deep, and there was nothing in the middle.
In the Shadow World, the dragon wailed and twisted, trying to get up again.
But the floating Super Celestial Globe spun mercilessly, and wave after wave of electric arcs flashed along the pipe. The shadow dragon that was twisting on the ground was also sucked in by the strange metal on the Arrow of Time. In a breath, it withered and shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye until it completely turned into a skeleton.
Looking at the huge crater on the ground caused by the huge explosion, and then looking at the floating young man who did not look like a wizard at all.
The group of wizards from the Ministry of Magic under the Celestial Globe looked at each other in dismay. Not knowing who took the lead, they all disappeared without a word with Mirage Transference. Under the effects of the dominoes, very soon, there were only a few Magi left in this huge underground space.
Hoffa's chest rose and fell violently. He clenched his fist and walked step by step to the one-legged Fatir.
"Let her go!"
"Don't even think about it."
Fatir looked at him fearlessly.
Boom!!
Hoffa pressed him heavily on the ground. "Are you stupid? Even your subordinates can see that you're hopeless. Can't you see it?"
"Then kill me! I'll be your savior! "
Fatir looked at him with disdain. "Come on, do it!"
Hoffa bit his lower lip tightly. "Don't force me to use all my strength, Fatir. I don't want to fight you."
"I know you don't dare. Your pitiful kindness is what I despise, and it's also what I want to go back fifty years to destroy."
"Enough!" Hoffa held Fatir tightly. His palms turned into metal claws, and he pointed at Fatir's chest with the claws. "For Aglaia's sake, can't you stay true to your heart?"
"You … dare to mention her name in front of me again!?"
The enraged Fatir completely ignored Huo Fa's sharp fingernails. She actually forced herself to stand up from the pressure of his arm.
Before Hoffa could react, his sharp claws dug deep into Fatir's chest. He grinned and stood up at the cost of his chest being pierced. Then, he shot out an explosive spell from his wand and sent Hoffa flying fifty meters away. He crashed heavily into the iron bars below the Celestial Telescope.
Hoffa did not expect such a suicidal attack. He ignored the pain and got up. Looking at his bloody palm, he was angry and anxious. "Do you want to die!?"
"I don't value my life more than others. I just want to achieve my goal, just like you."
He hopped with one leg, and there was a big hole in his chest. Mirage appeared at the edge of the control panel and continued to put on his alchemy equipment.
Hoffa got up and looked back at Chloe who was floating in the Celestial Telescope. He gritted his teeth and steeled his heart. He appeared behind Fatir and grabbed his shoulder.
"I'm sorry. Even if I break your limbs today, I won't let you get what you want."
"Why go through so much trouble?"
Fatir said. He turned around and smashed his head on Hoffa's head.
Crack.
It sounded like an egg hitting a rock.
Hoffa swayed, and Fatir fell backward with blood spurting out of his head. He fell to the ground with a thud. There was a big dent in his head, and he was motionless.
Looking at the man lying motionless on the ground, Hoffa's heart went cold. He was afraid that he had really killed Fatir. He quickly squatted down and pressed his hand on his neck. He found that although the neck was soft, it was cold and there was no pulse. It was like a dead body that was placed in an ice coffin.
Fatir …?
"Fatir … Hey, don't die!"
Hoffa grabbed his shoulder and shook it. His forehead was sweating, and he lost his mind. He had never thought of killing Fatir. Never.
"Die?"
His blue eyes suddenly opened.
There was a big hole in his chest and a dent in his head. However, Fatir did not die as he had imagined. Instead, he suddenly pulled out a steel pipe from the ground and quickly stabbed it into Huo Fa's chest. Then, he pressed his hand on Huo Fa's shoulder and disappeared with Phantom Shift.
Mirage appeared again on top of the giant Astral Telescope.
"Do you know what it's like to be unable to live or die?!"
"Do you know what it feels like to not have your soul in your body?"
"Do you know what it feels like to regret and be tortured day and night?!"
Between the flashes of lightning, he pressed Hoffa onto the rotating metal belt of the Astral Telescope. His hair was disheveled, and his face, which was similar to Aglaia, looked like an evil spirit.
Hoffa was caught off guard by this attack. Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Fatir's empty chest, and then looked at the dent in his head. He finally understood why he was so fearless of death.
Another Manse.
Grindelwald actually used the Curse of Immortality on his teacher Fatir. His soul had long been taken away by the Grim Reaper.
At the same time, the surface of the rotating giant Astral Telescope began to boil. On the metal belt, the slime-like metal gradually surrounded Hoffa's body.
The crazy Fatir said, "Although I can't kill you, you can't stop me either. When I activate the Arrow of Time, you will be completely torn into pieces by the turbulence of time and space. Even if you don't die, you will disintegrate into a pile of fragments due to the logic disorder in the alternate time. "
Huo Fa wanted to tear apart the metal binding him, but the strange metal seemed to have a life of its own. It was sucking in his energy and vitality. Huo Fa's recovery speed could not keep up with the metal's devouring speed. His strength was getting weaker and weaker.
"Damn it, Fatir, can't you listen to me?" The veins on his neck bulged. He tried to raise his head and break free.
"It's too late. I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it!"
After that, Fatir sneered and pushed hard. Half of Hoffa's body was pressed into the swamp-like metal.
Then, she disappeared with Mirage and returned to the control panel of the Arrow of Time. She put on the complicated alchemy equipment.
Surrounded by the boiling metal, Hoffa wanted to turn himself into Nightingale, but he found that he could not even raise his hand.
In the distance, Fatir, who was not stopped by anyone, put on the equipment. She jumped to the control panel and pressed her hand on the wrench. The expression on her face was very determined.
The wrench was pulled up little by little in a counterclockwise direction. Starlight flashed on the dial, ticking non-stop.
The giant Astral Telescope began to rotate faster. Chloe, who was floating in the Astral Telescope, had dense electric currents crawling on her face.
Seeing that the situation was gradually irreversible, Hoffa, who was almost desperate, gave up struggling. He shouted with all his strength, "Look at you now, is this what she wants to see? If you bring her back, how are you going to face her?! "
Hearing Huo Fa's shout, Fatir's hand paused for a moment, but he quickly recovered. He gritted his teeth and said resolutely, "She will understand me. She will understand all the sacrifices I have made!"
"Will she accept it if she understands?"
Hoffa roared, "What if she can't stand you, can't stand this world, and jump into the lake like me?"
"She won't! She's not as stupid as you! "
Fatir squeezed out a few words from between her teeth.
"Then she won't come to save me. Do you think your daughter is a person who can drag out an ignoble existence in the dark?!"
Fatir was slightly stunned. Her hand that was holding the joystick stopped moving.
"Do you know her?!"
"Do you know her?"
Hoffa's voice was hoarse. Half of his body was immersed in the boiling metal. His strength was getting weaker and weaker.
But in the end, Fatir did not continue to pull the wrench. The expression on his face became extremely complicated. At times, he was ferocious and ruthless. At other times, he was regretful and at a loss.
Seeing Fatir's expression, Hoffa was about to cry. At least this guy had not completely lost his mind.
"I know it's not easy for you. All these years, I also know that you have been trying to make up for your mistakes."
His tone became like an air stewardess facing a hijacking terrorist, "But it's not your fault for teaching such a student. It's the fault of this era. Help me, Fatir. I promise you!"
Hoffa's tone became gentler, "I swear with my life, I will definitely bring Aglaia back, but not with this method!"
"What can you do? What can you do? If she's dead, she's dead. I'll kill her with my own hands! "
Fatir's voice was high-pitched, as if responding to his extreme emotions.
The gigantic Celestial Globe suddenly exploded with a glaring electric light. A few stupid mountain monsters who had not escaped in time were electrocuted and fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, they were absorbed by the terrifying machine until only an empty frame was left.
Hoffa quickly raised his voice again, "If the Grim Reaper takes her soul, then even if I have to chase after the Grim Reaper, I will bring her back. I promise you!!"
Fatir's extreme expression gradually disappeared. His shoulders relaxed a little. He looked at the clock with stars above his head and the gigantic Celestial Globe spinning in the distance. He was speechless for a moment.
Hoffa looked at him with his heart in his mouth. At this moment, he could no longer resist the strange metal on the Arrow of Time. He could only hope that his words were effective.
"You promise?" After a while, Fatir's lips trembled.
"I promise … I promise … So," Hoffa calmed down a little, "Fatir, believe me. Don't go back to the past. We'll settle the Grindelwald right here, right now, in this time and space."
"Can we really do that?"
He muttered.
"Believe in me … Believe in me …"
Hoffa looked at Fatir, looked at his left hand that was still on the Arrow of Time's control stick, and kept repeating.
Finally, after a long and terrifying wait, Fatir's hand left the Arrow of Time's control stick. At this moment, his waist bent down, and he let out a long sigh, "Maybe … She's right."
He held onto the iron railing, and slowly took two steps towards Hoffa. He looked old and feeble, "I'm sorry … Bach …"
He said in a low voice, "I'm old."
Hoffa saw that he had finally regained his senses, and breathed a sigh of relief. His heart in his mouth dropped to the ground. It was as if he had safely returned to the ground from an out-of-control roller coaster.
At this moment, the gray hair on his forehead was completely wet, as if it was fished out from the water. He wanted to struggle, to break free from the shackles of this unknown metal. But his body had not recovered, and he could not escape the shackles of that strange metal.
"Don't be emotional, help me get rid of this thing first, and then we'll discuss further," Hoffa said.
Fatir rubbed his eyes, held onto the railing, and jumped towards Hoffa with his one leg.
But at this moment, in the distant darkness, there was a clapping sound.
Clap!
Clap!
Clap!
.....
Clap!
Clap!
Clap!
The two of them turned their heads. They saw a bald woman clapping her hands, and slowly walked up the stairs.
After the clapping.
She held her skirt with one hand, and the slender fingers of the other hand tapped on the metal, making a rhythmic clinking sound.
"What a wonderful speech, Hoffa, you made me want to become someone like you."
She smiled and walked towards Fatir, "But, your father-in-law killed so many people, can a simple confession be redeemed?"
