GOR Chapter 657 Meeting Under The Abyss
The winding staircase spiraled downward. However, the staircase appeared to have no support and was simply suspended in midair.
Since entering the White Tower, it felt as though they had entered another space. Beneath their feet was seemingly an endless flight of stairs. It felt as though they could reach Hell. All around them was a black void. The only difference was that there were countless twinkling stars within the black void.
When Du Wei first came in, he seemed to have an illusion: It was as if he was strolling through the universe's sea of stars.
"Someone came in before us. Aren't you anxious?" After walking for a while, Du Wei was unable to stop himself from asking Old Chris. There was an indifferent expression on Old Chris' face. Since entering, he had remained silent and did not speak much.
"I am not anxious."
Du Wei asked again, "Could it be, the place left behind by the Demon God is protected by something else?"
"Mm."
"Do we need to hurry up?"
"Mm."
"You … … do you have something on your mind?"
"Mm."
Du Wei finally sighed. Old Chris' strange behavior had caused him to feel suspicious.
Finally, after a moment of silence, Old Chris spoke up again, "Be careful. Try your best to stay within the staircase. Do not fall outside."
"… … why?" Du Wei was quick to ask.
"Here." Old Chris raised his eyelids and continued, "Do you see this space? This is the supreme magic of the demon race: Endless Abyss! We are now walking within this Endless Abyss. If you fall outside, the magic here will seal up all your magic. Then, you will drift further and further away, never to return. "
The corners of Old Chris' mouth curled up to reveal his trademark vicious and cunning smile. "Floating within this endless void, waiting for death, is not a good feeling."
Du Wei's scalp went numb.
He had long since understood that this was a magical space – they had walked so far. If they were still in the Imperial Capital, they would have long since gone deep underground. However, he knew that the underground of the White Tower should be the underground maze.
"You … don't have anything to say to me?" Du Wei asked slowly.
Chris lowered his head and walked a few steps without stopping. Then, he asked, "What do you want to know?"
"White Tower." Du Wei immediately grasped the crux of the problem. "Why is the entrance of the White Tower?"
Chris smiled and glanced at Du Wei. "The White Tower was built by Aragon … … and the one who asked Aragon to build the White Tower … … was me."
After pausing for a moment, he continued to explain, "The gods worship the sun and use the sun as their totem. The magic of the gods also used the light of the sun as the source of magic. To some extent, the so-called light magic of the human Church of Light was actually stolen by the human goddess from Lord Demon God. "
Du-Wei was a little surprised, but then he heard Chris continue: "Lord Demon God left behind that mysterious place in order to keep it a secret. Using the sun magic of the Celestial Race as the foundation, the only difference was that it was reversed. Normally, when there is the sun, the entrance left behind by Lord Demon God will use the sun as the source of power to hide. But when the sun disappears, the magic of the entrance will lose the cover of the sun and be exposed. "
Du Wei thought for a moment and frowned. "However, I have seen the records of the Astral Hall. For thousands of years, the number of total solar eclipses on the continent is not many, but there are still a few. But in the past, it doesn't seem to have happened … … "
After saying that, Du Wei suddenly noticed a trace of a strange smile on the corner of Old Chris's mouth … …
His mind suddenly lit up!
"About that, I'll have to ask you. Du Wei … … or should I say, ask about your past life. " Old Chris sneered and said, "After you and I left the island, we secretly looked up some information. It's really interesting … … this Aragon tricked me into giving him valuable inside information. Although he built the White Tower according to my instructions, I secretly tampered with it. But don't blame me. Back then, we were just using each other. "
After saying that, Old Chris seemed to have calmed down a little and he became more talkative. "The activation of the entrance is not something that can be casually entered. The place left behind by Lord Demon God, how can anyone casually enter? Otherwise, if a solar eclipse happened every few hundred years, wouldn't that mean that any Tom, Dick, or Harry would be able to enter this place by chance? Humph! Although the magic of the entrance is weakened during the solar eclipse, a huge magic array must be established in order to successfully activate the entrance. And this White Tower was built by Aragon back then. "
Du Wei suddenly understood. He had always thought that Aragon had anticipated the invasion of the sinners. That was why he built the White Tower and the Magic Array – it turns out that was not the case! Aragon had been scheming for the Demon God's treasure since a thousand years ago.
"Originally, this magic array was one of the conditions of his agreement with me. I wanted him to keep it for me after he had built it. However, if I didn't come out, and he built this White Tower to enter, wouldn't Aragon have taken advantage of it for nothing? Humph! "Old Chris' voice was cold." So, I lied to him. In order for this magic array to open the entrance, it must be at a specific time. A simple solar eclipse is not enough. It must be the 'Great Solar Eclipse' that occurs only once in a thousand years. "
After saying that, he sneered at Du Wei. "You don't know. Long before the solar eclipse, our God race's achievements in the field of astronomy and calendar were many times better than your current human civilization! "In this world, solar eclipses occur once every two or three hundred years. But we, the Protoss, have calculated an accurate astronomical calendar ten thousand years ago. After every five or six solar eclipses, there will be a 'Great Solar Eclipse.' During an ordinary solar eclipse, the sun will only be covered for a short period of time. But when a 'Great Solar Eclipse' comes, the sun will be covered … Well, according to your current human time, it will be over two hours! Only a Great Solar Eclipse of such a long time can weaken the magic array at the entrance due to the lack of sunlight. Only with the White Tower and the magic array can the entrance be opened. Otherwise, an ordinary solar eclipse would be useless! "
"Then, back then … … you lied to Aragon … …" Du Wei felt a chill in his heart.
"Not really." Chris snorted. "As I said, we were just using each other. In order to open the entrance, a magic array similar to the Sky Tower must be built. That's why I told Aragon to build a tower like this. I merely hid the information regarding the 'Great Solar Eclipse' from them. Your previous life, moreover, if your previous life had honestly fulfilled the terms of the deal and rescued me from the island, then I would naturally have told you the truth later on. Unfortunately, he was the one who broke the contract first. He left me on the island and didn't care about me anymore. Humph, if I didn't hold back, wouldn't he have taken advantage of me for nothing? "
Seeing that old Chris was looking at him with a somewhat unfriendly expression, Du Wei spat. "Let's make it clear. I am myself and Aragon is Aragon. Don't put this account on my head."
In his heart, however, he secretly muttered: This old monster who has lived for over ten thousand years really can't be easily trusted! Back then, he held back from Aragon. It's hard to say if he won't hold back from me now. I have to be more careful!
Although his expression didn't change, in his heart, he was a bit more vigilant.
The two walked down for a long time. In the beginning, they couldn't see the end of the stairs. But after walking for about half an hour, they finally found something in front of them!
Du Wei's eyes were sharp. With a glance, he saw a huge platform in the depths of the stairs. That platform seemed to be the end. The platform was as big as a football field, and the surroundings were empty. There was not a single thing in sight.
On the stone platform, there was someone who had arrived before him!
Seeing Du Wei and Chris coming down, the person who arrived on the platform first seemed to be slightly surprised. But then, he calmed down and appeared to have nothing to fear.
As Du Wei and old Chris expected, the person who arrived here first was indeed someone from the Shrines!
Pope Paul XVI was wearing a solemn robe and holding a scepter in his hand. That old face of his seemed to be on the verge of death. But Du Wei knew that this old man who seemed to be on the verge of death was actually very good! His frail and aged appearance was most likely an act.
Others may not know, but Du-Wei had already guessed it. Don't look at how the Pope pretended to appoint Archbishop Maximos as his successor. If they were to compare who lived longer, perhaps even if Archbishop Maximos died first, this old Pope would still be alive and kicking!
After all, the lifespan of a saint was much longer than that of an ordinary person.
Standing next to the Pope was a person wearing a black robe. The style of the robe was similar to that of an ordinary member of the Shrines, but he didn't wear the badge of a Shrines. Moreover, he was wearing a cloak, hiding his face and head, making him look ghostly.
Although Du Wei hadn't seen this guy before, from the powerful aura he faintly felt from this guy, he must be the other angel who had been hiding in the Shrines!
The only thing that surprised Du Wei was that other than the Pope and the angel, there was actually another guy here!
He was wearing a silver Paladin Armor, but the style was slightly different. Judging from the material, this armor was probably better than the one worn by the Great Knight of the Holy Order! Who knew how many precious magic materials had been used to create it?
His hair was messy, and his face was pale as if he lacked blood. Or perhaps he had been in the dark for too long, and was pale like a vampire who lacked sunlight. His face was originally angular, and should have been the resolute face of a man, but there was an inexplicable sense of strangeness in his pale face.
His thin lips were tightly pursed. Rather than saying that his eyes were cold, it was more accurate to say that he was numb. It was only when he saw Du Wei among the people who came that a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared.
This guy was none other than the one who was once captured by Du Wei, the leader of the secret force of the Shrines, the "Angel Legion", the fallen god Paladin. He seemed to be righteous, but in fact, he had betrayed his faith: Lochet!!
When the numb eyes saw Du Wei, there seemed to be a flash of fear and trembling from the soul. It seemed that the moment he saw Du Wei, he gave birth to an indescribable fear.
But Du Wei's eyes didn't stay on him for long, and he didn't even deliberately give him a look. He just smiled faintly, "Haha! Your Majesty Pope, today is the funeral of the Regent. I heard that you were seriously ill and couldn't attend, but I didn't expect that a patient like you would have the energy to come to the forbidden area of the royal family to stroll around. "
This sentence was merciless, and there was no trace of politeness, directly tearing off all pretenses of cordiality. But the old Pope wasn't embarrassed at all. He stared at Du Wei, "Duke of the Tulip Family, I was also thinking that such a rare spectacle, you would definitely come to the capital to join in the fun … … sure enough!"
Looking at the Pope's seemingly secure appearance, Du Wei and Old Chris looked at each other. The two immediately took a few steps back, but they were in a triangular position, one on the left and one on the right.
Du Wei laughed out loud, "If word got out that the dignified spiritual leader of the continent took advantage of the royal family's absence to run into someone else's house to steal, then those believers would be very discouraged."
Pope smiled faintly, his turbid old eyes seemed to be hiding a needle tip, "Duke of the Tulip Family need not worry, this kind of thing … … others won't have the opportunity to know."
Although his tone was slow, there was a faint trace of undisguised murderous intent!
"Haha, a thief can still be so righteous, His Majesty Pope is really not an ordinary person!" Du Wei's tone changed as he coldly said: "His Majesty seems to have forgotten what the Cold Spring Pass was like."
That day, the Pope was confident in his strength and went alone to the Cold Spring Pass to intercept Bai Hechou. But the result was that Bai Hechou's strength had reached such a ridiculous level. Although the Pope was already a Saint, he was still far from a match. In the end, he had to rely on Aragon's badge to barely borrow the residual power of the domain to fight with Bai Hechou. (Bai Hechou also took advantage of this opportunity to finally see the threshold of 'domain')
That experience, in the end, was a narrow escape. Almost dying in the hands of a junior like Cybuster was the greatest shame in the Pope's life. Now that Du Wei mentioned it to his face, the old man couldn't help but blush. But then his eyes gradually became fierce: "Duke of the Tulip Family! If we were outside, I would be willing to give you some respect! But here … Hmph, Hussein is far away at the northern frontlines, and Rodriguez is far away in the northwest. Your base is Loulan City, and most of your Saint-level subordinates are not by your side. Hmph, this person beside you, where did you find this helper?! Even if it's a Saint, it's still three against two! "
With that, without waiting for Pope to say anything, the black clothed angel slowly took two steps forward. Although he only casually took two steps forward, his aura was already spreading out, faintly pressuring Du Wei.
He slowly took off his cloak, revealing a thin and pale face. His eyes were still very feminine: "Duke of the Tulip Family, I have long heard of your great name. My name is Oedipus. I'm the same as the Sphinx angel who died at your hands ….. The only difference is that I'm one level higher than him. "
As he spoke, the black robe on his body suddenly opened up, and six thin, translucent black wings appeared behind his back!
Du Wei looked at it and laughed: "Eh? Black wings? Shouldn't Angels have white translucent wings? Ah ha, I know, are you a fallen angel? "
Oedipus naturally didn't understand Du Wei's words, but the stronger he was, the calmer he was. Hearing Du Wei's nonsense, he only sneered and didn't say anything.
Du Wei knew that Pope had nothing to fear. Even if it was a Saint, it was still three against two. Moreover, whether it was the Pope or Oedipus, their strength was higher than an ordinary Saint. Angels were almost immortal.
Coupled with Lochet's strength, who was about to break through to the Saint rank, the chances of winning were naturally higher.
Du Wei glanced at Old Chris, but who would have thought that Old Chris just rolled his eyes and didn't react at all.
Du Wei couldn't help but find it funny. To be honest, he had seen more than one God-ranked expert recently. For Du Wei, even a domain wasn't strange. Two Saints who hadn't broken through the domain were nothing in his eyes.
"Duke of the Tulip Family." Oedipus smiled and said softly: "We came here first, but found that this was the end of the road. We didn't see anything else. Since all of you are here, you must know how to proceed from here. "
Du Wei sneered and glanced at Old Chris: "Well, even if we know, there is no need to tell you."
Oedipus shook his head and said with some regret: "It's a pity ….. It's a pity. Since you don't want to say, then I have to ask myself." After saying that, he looked at Du Wei again: "I know you can defeat the Sphinx, but don't measure me with the Sphinx's strength."
With that, the six wings on his back suddenly fluttered. Du Wei immediately felt the space around him distort, and the golden light of the Saint rank gushed out in a frenzy. Then, Oedipus reached out to grab Du Wei's neck.
Du Wei sighed …..
The strength of this Angel was indeed extraordinary. With such a gentle grab, it was faintly showing signs of breaking through a painting. If a comparison had to be made, it was probably comparable to the Crimson Water Break before entering the Magic Shrines and training with Ares.
If Du Wei hadn't gone up the Snow Mountain this time and suddenly encountered such a blow, it would have taken him some effort to resist. After all, the current Du Wei had hidden a huge hidden danger in his body that couldn't be "charged". But before his "electricity" ran out, he was a "demigod"!
What was a mere Sage who hadn't even entered the Domain Realm?!
From the very beginning, Oedipus had already used his full strength. He had already expected Du-Wei's strength a long time ago. This Duke of the Tulip Family was able to kill the other angel that came with him, so his strength naturally cannot be underestimated. Oedipus's move had instantly used all the power in the space to the peak state. He even calculated that no matter whether Du Wei dodged, resisted, or counterattacked, he would attack the weak points of the space rules. All of this was within his calculations.
Even if this grab could not hurt Du Wei, it could at least force him back! Then Pope next to him would take the opportunity to attack Du Wei's silent companion and forcibly separate the two. Otherwise, the two would have the opportunity to work together to support each other …
Unfortunately, he was wrong!
Whoosh!
He grabbed nothing but air!
Although Oedipus was also prepared for Du Wei to dodge his grab, he did not expect such a situation!
After this grab, it was as if the weight of his body had suddenly increased by hundreds of times! Even if he was a Saint, his body seemed to have become sluggish in an instant. Suddenly, his whole body stiffened. His fingertips were frozen in place, and he could not even move a little bit!
It was not magic like Binding Spell … but … but …
Thinking of this, the Angel Oedipus screamed in his heart!
Time! Yes, yes, yes, it was this Duke of the Tulip Family who controlled time!
It was as if time was forcibly stopped by Du-Wei in the space where the two of them came into contact with each other! Oedipus's body was bound by the rules of time, and he could not move at all.
He could not move, but Du Wei in front of him did not seem to be bound by the rules of time!
He just stared at Duwei as he moved his hand away from his fingertips in a relaxed and slow manner. Then he took half a step back and slowly reached out his hand and pressed it against his chest … …
Puchi!
Beside him, the Pope seemed to be stupefied!
At the level of the Pope, he was still unable to comprehend the realm of the God level. He only saw Opurdis attacking Du-Wei. For some unknown reason, Opurdis's movements suddenly became stiff while Du-Wei slowly slid back half a step. Then, Du-Wei's palm landed on Opurdis's chest, causing the angel to spray out blood from his mouth and nose!!
Oedipus directly retreated a few steps. Fortunately, Du-Wei didn't hit him too hard, nor did he intend to injure his opponent. Under the effects of the Angel's immortal body, Oedipus's face turned even paler. But in the blink of an eye, he stood up again and stared at Du-Wei like he just saw a ghost.
"You! You are no longer a Saint? You … You just … Was that a Domain? "
Du Wei smiled and finally said a line he had wanted to say for a long time:
"Domain? I am no longer one. "
— — —
On the side, Old Chris was about to speak with a smile when his face suddenly changed! Du Wei's smiling face suddenly stiffened!
Suddenly, a few cracking sounds were heard. The place where Du Wei was standing, within a radius of a few meters, the space suddenly distorted!
It turned out that before he could finish his sentence, the law of time he had paused just now suddenly shattered!
The paused time easily flowed again, but Du Wei was not aware of it! The law of time he had forcefully paused using his divine power was easily shattered, causing him to feel as if he had suffered a heavy blow. At this moment, he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood.
Then, Du Wei immediately felt a vast fluctuation of power slowly coming from behind him. Even with his divine sense, he was unable to clearly perceive that power!
Suddenly turning around, Du Wei looked at the stairs behind him!
A tall figure slowly walked down step by step.
Old Chris was alarmed. Regardless of the number of people here, they were all experts. And yet, no one was able to sense this fellow's arrival!
When he saw the appearance of this imposing figure, Old Chris's breath froze. However, despite the shock on his face, there was no trace of fear in his eyes. It was as though he still had something to rely on.
The Beast God Hector slowly walked down. Before him were four experts. However, in the face of this God-tier expert, their gazes were no different from looking at roadside weeds.
What made Duwei even more surprised was that behind this orc that suddenly appeared (he could already vaguely guess the identity of the other party), there was a pair of figures that flashed at the same time.
"Du Wei!"
"You, you two?" Du Wei's face changed.
Seeing Jojo and Vivian appear together, he finally began to feel worried!
Although the sisters were also at least at the 8th level, in this' gathering 'of this level, even a Saint rank expert could only be considered a beginner – an 8th level expert was no different from an ant. Even the slightest mistake could result in instant death.
Hector's tall figure walked onto the scene. Under the powerful coercion of the Beast God, all of them were forced to retreat. It seemed as though they could not even stand a bit closer to him.
Hector's eyes were fixed on Du Wei. With his strength and realm, he could naturally tell at a glance that Du Wei was the strongest among these guys!
"Human … you said you are no longer a Domain?" Hector narrowed his eyes. His frightening face carried a gentle smile – but the more he smiled, the more awe-inspiring it was.
Du Wei gave a wry smile and exhaled. "It seems my luck is really good. This is too good … Lord Beast God, I did not expect that a God like you would come to participate in this' gathering of the human world '."
However, he was cursing in his heart. I've seen the God of War, the Fairy God, the Dragon God, and now there's the Beast God. If I add the Dwarf God and the Demon God Goddess to the list, it seems that my "divine fate" is really not shallow!
Bah!
Du Wei was helpless and could only sigh. "Although I know I am not your opponent, it seems that a fight is unavoidable."
Hector did not seem to be in a hurry. He smiled faintly. Although his voice was calm, it did not seem to carry a trace of emotion. "There is no hurry. When I came in just now, I felt that there were more people behind me. Like you said, this seems to be a gathering. "He paused for a moment before continuing.
"Three humans, a Golden Dragon, and … hmm, it seems to be a magical creature. (His eyes fell on Oedipus.) Plus the two human girls who came in with me … hmm, not everyone is here yet. Let's wait until everyone is here before the gathering can begin. "
With that, Du-Wei's eyes suddenly swept over Old Chris's body. However, Du-Wei noticed that Old Chris still had that calm look on his face, as if he didn't react to the appearance of his master's archenemy from ten thousand years ago.
Du Wei's thoughts were like lightning: This old guy, it seems he still has a trick up his sleeve! He is not even afraid of the Beast God standing in front of him! This old guy's trump card is not small! It is definitely not small!
