The blockhead slowly sat up from the ground. His movements were a little sluggish, and his joints creaked. It seemed that even an abnormally strong mountain barbarian would become weak after several years of hibernation. He shook his head vigorously, as though he was still trying to find a balance between the dream and reality. Throughout the process, his eyes never left us.
"I feel like I had a dream," the blockhead muttered in a rough voice. His voice and smile were so familiar, but different from the silly blockhead we knew. The one in front of us was the Dim Moon Lord. Compared to the naive blockhead, he had more than two thousand years of vicissitudes of life, so much so that he had an indescribable temperament. "I dreamed that I lived in a small village for several years, and Lily in cat form accompanied me all the time. There was a pine forest behind the village, which was very similar to the village of Antil's hometown. One day, when I was hunting in the forest, I met a group of strange people. I think it was you. "
"Yes, it was us. We came here from the surface world to find you," Lin Xue smiled at the blockhead. "You are awake now, and everything that happened in your dream is real. You can ask the cat next to you for more details."
The blockhead scratched his messy hair, his eyes alternating between confusion and clarity. Finally, he suddenly said, "Am I home?"
Hearing this distinctive way of addressing himself, I inexplicably felt relieved. It seemed that the familiar blockhead didn't disappear with the Dim Moon Lord's awakening. His memories were still there, but I just didn't know how long they could be preserved.
"Brother Caveman, you have been in hibernation for many years. Many things have happened in these few years. I will slowly explain to you," the Blood Princess pulled the blockhead's arm as though she was hugging a thick wooden stake. Then, she turned to us, "Thank you. Please go upstairs and rest for a while. Brother Caveman and I will go over later. Sonya, please bring them to the East Hall. "
Sonya brought us to the second floor of the castle, and we came to a very spacious room to rest for a while. It was still a stone room without much decoration, but at least it was furnished and carpeted, and looked like a place where the great men of the castle met and discussed things: in the middle of the room there was a particularly large long table, which made it look like a conference room. We stayed there for about thirty minutes, chatting to pass the time. Finally, we heard heavy footsteps outside the door.
The newly dressed blockhead pushed open the door and walked in. Behind him was the Blood Princess who still had some tear stains on her face. Behind the two of them was the demonic beast maid who had led the way earlier. The demonic beast maid was pushing a small dining cart with some simple desserts on it.
"I'm sorry, but the situation in the castle isn't very good. I could only prepare these things to entertain the guests in a hurry." The Blood Princess bowed apologetically to everyone. Then, she swiftly placed the desserts on the long table with the maid. I quickly waved my hand at her to show that I didn't mind. "It's fine, it's fine. Speaking of which, Blockhead, do you understand the situation clearly?"
The dimwit — or rather, the Dim Moon Lord — flashed a complicated smile at everyone. Then, he sat down solemnly opposite us. "I understand now. It's a dream every few years. When I wake up, the world will be turned upside down again."
I looked at him. He was now wearing a luxurious and heavy robe. Although the style looked a little strange, it obviously represented the respected identity of the Dim Moon Lord. However, I still remembered the way he dressed when I last met him in the North Fortress. At that time, he was wearing a coarse shirt with a few holes in the shoulder. Because he was too big, the short sleeves of his shirt were tightly tied to his arm. He looked like an old farmer who had just come from the poor countryside to the city to see the world. At that time, the bitter Haha and the bold Dim Moon Lord in front of me were really different. Even though they had the same appearance.
Icetis was also sizing him up. Then, she suddenly said, "Let me ask you a question. Are you the Dim Moon Lord or Blockhead now?"
"I don't know," he replied in a rough voice and spread his hands. "I should be the Dim Moon Lord in general, but I remember the years when I was a blockhead, and I still remember the things that happened in those years very clearly. I still remember the desserts that you brought … "
Lin Xue and Shallow Shallow immediately took out a lot of baked cakes, pancakes, and other miscellaneous snacks from their Dimensional Pocket and piled them on the long table. Blockhead immediately smiled. "Yes, yes, I remember these things very clearly!"
The Blood Princess' eyes also brightened. She was the psychic cat, so she naturally remembered these snacks clearly. She subconsciously jumped onto the table and pulled a lot of snacks in front of her. Then, she suddenly realized that she was in human form, so she quickly jumped back down awkwardly …
"Alright, it's good that I know you are still a blockhead." I chuckled as I looked at the blockhead, who was a little confused as the two memories intertwined. Although he now had the vicissitudes of two thousand years of experience, he still remembered the things that happened when he was a blockhead. Then, I turned to look at the Blood Princess. "Blackie, what should we do with the blockhead and the kitten that were left on the ground?"
The Blood Princess was clumsily studying how to open the packaged snacks. She was slightly stunned when she heard that. Then, she waved her hand nonchalantly. "They should have dissipated by now. Although they have a body of flesh and blood, they are things that were created using the secret arts of monsters and black witchcraft. They are like iron sand that is attracted and shaped by a magnet. Once the connection with the Dim Moon is broken, they will turn into elements and return to the world. Also, don't call me Blackie. Call me Lily or the Blood Princess. Blackie is just a stage name … "
"Alright, now that the blockhead has woken up and we have completely understood what happened in this world," I saw that the time had come, so I clapped my hands to attract everyone's attention. "Next, we will discuss how to deal with all the remaining problems in this world. First, the Dim Moon War. Needless to say, it must stop immediately. Sonya, I hope that you can help to explain the situation here to Edwinsa. He should not know anything about the situation here. Let him prepare. When the time comes, I am afraid that he will have to announce the complete end of the Dim Moon War in the name of the Goddess. He should be good at this. "
Sonya nodded. "Leave it to me. That guy is best at making up stories. However, even if the Dim Moon War ends, it will be difficult for the surface and the Dim Moon to return to normal immediately … After all, the Goddess' teachings have been going on for two thousand years. "
"That is your problem." I waved my hand. "If Edwinsa can subvert the world to such an extent, he will definitely be able to subvert it again. Moreover, he will have the support of a real God this time. You just need to give a reasonable explanation in the name of God. For example, the Dim Moon has been completely purified. A group of Dim Moon people who suddenly woke up cooperated with the Goddess to sweep away the demons on the Dim Moon and returned to the embrace of the Goddess."
"Then what about Brother Caveman? The people on the surface will not accept the Dim Moon Lord! " The Blood Princess immediately thought of the most difficult point to deal with. "Also, how do we explain the final whereabouts of the Dim Moon Lord to the people on the surface?"
"Isn't that simple?" Icetis was indeed a veteran swindler. She could easily bluff people. "Just say that there was a barbarian prince who raised the banner of justice and cooperated with the Goddess to get rid of the Dim Moon Lord. All you have to do is to publicize what you did back then to the people. Blockhead, you will be your son from now on. "
Blockhead smiled honestly and ignored the Blood Princess who had a strange expression on her face. "Sure, there aren't many people who recognize me in this era anyway. I will be my son."
"Why are you so unreliable …" The Blood Princess only had time to finish her sentence before I changed the topic. "The problem of the Dim Moon War is like this. Next is the most important thing: The power of the Abyss in this world must be completely eliminated. The power of the Abyss is the Demon Shadow that you are talking about. Now, you have already imprisoned all the Demon Shadows in a demonic den, right? That is good. We just need to purify that place completely … Wait, Lin Xue, won't we be discovered by the Fallen Apostle this way? "
At this moment, I suddenly remembered: This world is caught in the middle of a firing line! Although the power of the Abyss that leaked out from the Divine Equipment wouldn't be that strong, the problem was that it had already spread across this planet. The scale of the demonic den could possibly reach the scanning accuracy of the Fallen Apostle. The most dangerous factor in carrying out such a large-scale purification operation was the possibility of being discovered by the Fallen Apostle.
"Don't worry about that." Lin Xue waved her hand. "It is just purifying a huge pit. Furthermore, those fellows are very weak. We don't have to use too much power to deal with them."
"Alright, then we will go and purify the demonic den and completely solve the problems left behind by the history of this world." Delegating the tasks one by one made my mood better and better. "Blackie, finally, let's talk about the Divine Equipment. This is the main reason why we came to this world. Where did you hide that thing?"
"Don't call me Blackie." The Blood Princess' bestially 'raised her ears. "That was my stage name when I was a cat!" Then, she exhaled. "Of course, I am more than happy to have you take that unlucky thing away. The Divine Equipment is placed in a special spatial device. The device is divided into two parts. Only when the two parts are combined will the Divine Equipment appear in the container. The key to the container is placed in Edwinsana … Oh, this time, Sonya has already brought it over. The main body of the container is placed in the demonic den. "
"You placed the device to store the Divine Equipment in the demonic den?" Icetis clicked her tongue. "This storage location is really comfortable."
The Blood Princess spread her hands and smiled bitterly. "We hope that the Divine Equipment will suddenly be activated one day and retract the demonic powers. I know that this is a silly idea, but this is one of the motivations that has supported us to this day. Also … the safest place in this world is actually the demonic den. No one would dare to steal from the demonic den, right? "
"Well, that's it then. We can settle everything together, including purifying the Abyss and retrieving the Divine Equipment." Icetis yawned and stood up. "This troublesome mission is finally about to be completed. Now, let's set off to the demonic den. Little dragon lass, it is the place where I picked you up, right? "
"Wait a minute!" Just as everyone got up from their seats and prepared to set off, the blockhead suddenly spoke in a deep voice. "Have you all forgotten about someone? What about Antir? "
I couldn't help but glance at the Blood Princess. As expected, even though she looked calm on the surface, this Monster Beast girl whom she had been secretly in love with for over two thousand years revealed a lonely expression. I looked up at the blockhead … He didn't react at all, only looking at Icetis with a burning gaze, hoping to get an answer from the latter. It seemed that this honest and straightforward big guy didn't even notice that there was a silent little secret admirer behind him. These three people were really awkward … But when I thought about my ill-fated relationship with Milady, I decided not to talk about others.
"That mortal lass who fused with the Divine Equipment?" Icetis rubbed her chin. "We still aren't sure what state she is in, so it's hard to determine how we should deal with her. But I can guarantee that we will think of a way to separate her from the Divine Equipment. Don't worry, the Protoss aren't emotionless creatures. As long as we have a choice, we won't do anything at the cost of sacrificing innocent lives. "
Only then did the blockhead nod in relief. At this moment, Shallow Shallow seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She looked at the blockhead curiously. "Blockhead, every time during the Dark Moon War, you have to let your wife slash you, right?"
The blockhead also had a rare moment of humor. "This is a 'reserved program' during the Dark Moon War. I will be 'killed' by Antir in front of them, and the Allied Forces on the ground will cheer and celebrate. Then, Edwinsa and Lily will secretly drag me back."
"Aren't you afraid of going overboard?"
The blockhead smiled calmly. "I won't. My physical body is already immortal, and Antir, who has no consciousness, doesn't know how to destroy a soul. This process is very safe."
"Every time you go there, you just get slashed. What's the point?" Shallow Shallow muttered. "Anyway, without you, the Dark Moon War will still be fought."
"It's not the same. The people on the ground need a clear and powerful enemy, so that they can unleash their greatest potential when destroying the demons. And every time the 'Dark Moon Lord is killed by the Goddess' is the key to ensuring the influence of the church on the ground. Finally, there's a more important point," the blockhead explained the value of his life unhurriedly. At the end, he changed the topic. "If I get slashed, won't I meet Antir again?"
I was stunned for a few seconds before I suddenly reacted. "Every time you go there and get slashed, it's because you can see your wife?!"
The blockhead nodded matter-of-factly. "Yes, it's the only chance I can see Antir. Usually, she's fused with the divine artifact."
Icetis tugged at her hair. Obviously, even this female rogue could not accept the blockhead's extreme logic. "What the heck … You've been recuperating for hundreds of years just to reunite with your wife for a few seconds?! And these few seconds are for her to kill you?! "
The blockhead continued nodding. "Yes."
"You think it's worth it?"
"Yes."
"You rely on this to survive?"
"Yes."
"… Are you a f * cking idiot?!" Brendel was exasperated.
The blockhead thought for a while, still smiling foolishly. He nodded. "Yes."
Sonya suddenly whispered, "Look, I told you that he's very stubborn. Back then, to remind me that I can't eat raw meat, he chased me across the entire mountain range. He's a stubborn fool."
What else could I say? Looking at the huge man who was smiling foolishly across the table, as well as the silent Blood Princess beside him who would occasionally turn her head to look at her 'Big Brother Caveman', I was already speechless. Furthermore, I could roughly understand why the Blood Princess hadn't been able to open her heart for two thousand years. Faced with such a stubborn man, the only choice the Blood Princess could make was to continue her love for him forever.
Before leaving the Dark Moon Palace, we needed to purify this place. There were twenty people here who had been slightly contaminated by the Abyss. The entire building was also surrounded by an unclean aura. Following the principle of doing good deeds, we couldn't just leave this place alone.
In front of the castle, Icetis spread her black wings. A brilliant holy light descended from the sky and enveloped the entire stone platform in a holy pillar of light. Golden runes appeared in the air and the ground, forming a circular magic circle around the castle. In the faintly discernible holy song, the dark aura that had occupied the castle for two thousand years gradually dissipated. This holy light was definitely very different from the light that the people on the ground could roughly imitate. Looking at the light that covered the sky, the blockhead couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Is this true divine power? It's much more active than Antir. "
"But I didn't expect the wings of a Goddess to be black." The Blood Princess stood beside us and sized up the black-winged Goddess who was enveloped in holy light. Then, she looked at Alaya who was floating behind me with a "don't look at me, I don't know anything" expression. "I think that she is more like the Goddess in my impression."
The angel sister noticed that someone was talking about her and immediately sent a silly smile over. Icetis, on the other hand, was exasperated as she performed the purification ritual. "Can't you just stop complaining about my makeup!? Why is it that whenever I release my holy light, there are people talking about it? Even my pope asked me about it during our prayers! "
Everyone was speechless.
It seemed that Icetis had a rather harmonious relationship with her believers.
The Devil's Den was actually not far from here. Probably in order to monitor the most dangerous cage on the planet, the blockhead and the Blood Princess chose to settle down in the second most dangerous area on the planet. The Dark Moon Palace was actually the equivalent of the Devil's Den's surveillance tower. Not only that, the two were directly connected by a teleportation station, which saved us a lot of trouble.
According to the tasks that we had discussed previously, Sonya returned to the surface to explain the situation here to Edwinsa. The rest of us, the blockhead, and the Blood Princess went through the teleportation station to the Devil's Den.
What appeared in front of everyone was a bottomless abyss.
