A huge energy storm wreaked havoc in the tiny cathedral. Something that had lost its restraints was released from the fantasy plane into the real world. The resulting conflict nearly tore space apart. Amidst this unprecedented impact, the blonde Heroic Spirit girl, who was the source, was pressed to the ground miserably. However, she still had the strength to curse loudly, "Lowly commoner! Fool! Stop! This King orders you to stop immediately! "
However, her protest was meaningless. The Schilling Main Computer, which had successfully cracked the King's Treasure's composition, was busy splitting the spoils with the Little Goddess. The little girl dressed in a white princess dress was lying in midair. Her upper body was stretched into the ripple-like spatial passageway. She constantly threw out dazzling artifacts and other strange items. Half of her body was in a physical state, while the other half was in the form of data that entered someone else's mental space. This was an impossible phenomenon, but Little Bubble was able to do it by rapidly calculating spatial functions and changing her body's shape. And beside the little girl, flying up and down in midair was Idiot No. 1, our pet goddess.
"Jingle wants this. Jingle wants this big cup. Let's go back and use it as a bed!"
"Chirp!"
Is this a sign of agreement?
The few of us used our psionic shields to withstand the energy storm that had gone berserk due to the mageweath losing control. Seeing the farce in front of us, we were at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Sandora even had the leisure to sigh, "This Hero King sure has collected a lot of things."
However, from the looks of it, Little Bubble was about to snatch it all.
Little Bubble rummaged through the Hero King's personal collection for a few minutes. She had piled up a mess of items in an empty space in the cathedral. However, a few minutes later, she suddenly stopped what she was doing and jumped down from the sky.
The violent interference suddenly stopped, and the energy storm also stopped. However, at this moment, the Hero King no longer had any strength left. She had even fallen into a temporary coma.
We looked at Little Bubble suspiciously, not knowing what she was planning. Then, we saw a light bulb flash above the little girl's head in a very cartoonish manner, making a 'ding' sound.
What did she think of?
Under my puzzled gaze, Little Bubble walked up to the heroic spirit girl who had collapsed on the ground. Then, he bent down, grabbed her arm, and dragged her toward us with large strides.
What a clever little girl. She decisively realized that if she wanted all the shiny things, should she still grab the biggest shiny thing?
"Ugh … My head hurts …"
After being dragged all the way by Little Bubble, the Hero King's head bumped against the ground the entire way before he finally woke up from his temporary coma. Then, he rubbed his head as he looked at the 'intruders' that surrounded him.
"Ah! What are you doing? Stay away from This King! "
The battered heroic spirit girl immediately revealed an extremely panicked expression. She hugged her chest as she stumbled back half a meter. Her face was filled with the expression of a helpless girl encountering a strange uncle.
I was puzzled. Was he really Gilgamesh? Could he really be the most ancient emperor of mankind with such a personality?
It wasn't that I was confused as to why the most ancient ruler of the human race would be a young girl. According to historical records, during Gilgamesh's reign, the human race was in a matriarchal society. At that time, the strongest ruler of the human race naturally couldn't be a man. Thus, it was understandable that Gilgamesh's true gender was a girl. What I was truly unable to accept was that the latter's IQ was comparable to that of Little Bubble's. Not to mention, with Dingdang's IQ, they could form a trio of idiots …
But no matter how the Hero King mutated into such a strange creature, the truth was the truth. Not only did the golden shiny thing become the silly girl, she had now gloriously become the personal pet of the princess of the Xiling Empire.
Looking at the dejected 'Little Gold' (the nickname that Jingle had given to this shiny new companion) following behind Little Bubble, I had to sigh at the unchanging truth that everything has its vanquisher. Now, the Hero King was extremely afraid of Little Bubble, who had repeatedly abused her. When she realized that any resistance she made would only be smacked away by her childishly and that she would still be obediently ordered around by her, she finally gave up resisting. Even though her face was still filled with anger, at least she was much quieter now.
"I never expected that a tiny Yanfeng Church would have such a complicated passageway." Under the guidance of Little Bubble's new pet, 'Little Gold', we entered the underground passageway of the Yanfeng Church. The terrain here was surprisingly complicated. As we walked, I even felt like I was walking through a maze. To be honest, I had a sudden thought of finding an inconspicuous corner to take a look. In the end, I didn't find any treasure chests or hidden bosses, which was rather disappointing …
There was a reason why we were taking our time. Just a moment ago, Veigar had already sent a message that Yanfeng Church's Qili had been jointly controlled by Enban and the others. The latter didn't seem to have any special powers. Even Veigar didn't have time to attack before the unlucky priest had two of his ribs broken by Berserker's club. Now, all the unstable factors were under our control. Any known resistance had been taken care of, so there was naturally nothing to be anxious about.
"That untouchable always likes to use things to hide himself. He's just like a rat. For the past ten years, he's been digging tunnels under the church almost nonstop. He even used the immature power of the Blood Moon to create a group of tamed demons to do this work. Tsk, he's basically a bug."
Little Gold (…) curled her lips in disdain. It was obvious that even though they were working together and had a master-servant relationship, this golden-haired girl didn't have a single good impression of Yanfeng Qili. In fact, she even seemed to loathe him.
In the original "storyline," the people who had survived the fire in Fuyuki City ten years ago were the survivors of Fuyuki City's fire. Yanfeng Qili had turned them into half-dead zombies and used their life force as Gilgamesh's mana source. But of course, we hadn't found such a place under Yanfeng Qili's church. Not to mention, this version of Gilgamesh was nothing more than an idiotic and arrogant girl who probably had no interest in absorbing the life force of the living. Just the Bloody Moon alone was more than enough for Yanfeng Qili to provide countless heroic spirits with endless energy. That was why when I curiously asked where Yanfeng Qili had imprisoned the zombies who were the source of Gilgamesh's mana, Gilgamesh was shocked.
And then, she labeled me as a "pervert" …
After making countless turns, we finally arrived at the lowest level of the church. This place was probably several dozen meters deep from the ground. Some kind of magic spell that could maintain airflow was engraved on all the tunnels. But when we reached this place, it still made us feel stuffy. Of course, this could also be a psychological effect.
"Sir! Yanfeng Qili has lost his ability to fight. His ribs are completely shattered, but they have been treated. For the time being, he will not be unable to answer your interrogation because of the pain! "
Vega was the first to greet me and saluted me.
Niang glanced at the little scorpion in battle form and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! You are the descendant of Pabilsag? "
Sandora came over and explained in a low voice, "The mythical beast Pabilsag, with a human body and a scorpion tail, guards Mount Marsh that leads to the Sun Road. Gilgamesh had a conversation with it on his journey to find the elixir of immortality."
I was being lectured on human history by aliens again!
"This is my soldier," I explained briefly and then nodded to Vega. "Gilgamesh is no longer an enemy … Well, now he is Little Bubble's collection."
Sister Scorpion immediately gave a military salute. "Hello, collection. I am the commander of the Empire's Armored Scorpion Corps, Vega!"
Gilgamesh was stunned and then awkwardly imitated a military salute. "Hello, I am … Hey! Who's a collection! "
I ignored this silly girl who couldn't keep up with her actions and walked to the center of the hall. This was a very ordinary circular hall. Apart from the chandelier at the center of the hall, there weren't any decorations or furniture. Yan Feng Qili was lying on the bare cement floor, while Motosa, Ilya, and their servants stood in a circle around him. They were watching Yan Feng Qili inhumanely.
"Are you hurt?"
I was first concerned about Ling and Ilya. Although Yan Feng was already lying on the ground like a corpse, I didn't know if he was able to counterattack.
"I'm fine," Ilya shook his head energetically. "This person was busy with some kind of ritual and couldn't move at all. In the end, he was knocked down by Berserker."
"He should be fine, right?" Yuan Ban, on the other hand, looked a little worried. Although he always called him "Fake Father, Fake Father," he was still his guardian and senior since he was young. No matter how stiff their relationship was, seeing him like this, he couldn't help but be concerned.
"Vega, how did you deal with his injury?"
I turned my head and asked Sister Scorpion who was standing quietly by the side.
Vega immediately replied loudly, "I cut off his spinal nerves so that he won't be in pain."
We were speechless.
This was even more ruthless than Uncle B. I was wondering why Yan Feng looked like he was on the verge of death even though his injury had already been treated.
Vega's treatment plan, which didn't have the slightest bit of knowledge about the physiology of carbon-based organisms, was obviously not feasible. Fortunately, due to the occasional impact of high-speed objects such as Sandora's and Little Bubble's human bombs, I had prepared some healing devices on me. Under the effects of these molecular repair devices, Yan Feng, who had been chatting with his grandmother on the Santu River for a long time, finally woke up.
"Yo, you're awake, Mr. Boss."
Yan Feng's eyes were wide open. After ten seconds, he suddenly blinked twice and focused his gaze on the people in front of him. After a long time, he smiled.
"I was so close, but I didn't expect to be interrupted by you guys …"
"Up until now, all of your plans and chess pieces have been ruined," I said as I glanced at my mother who was obediently staying in the corner. "I'm curious, what are you planning to do? It can't be for the so-called Holy Grail, right? "
Yan Feng lay on the ground for a long time before he finally regained consciousness. He struggled to sit up. His priest robe was stained with blood and dust, and he looked battered and exhausted.
"I just wanted to see the truth of this world. I just didn't expect that the Holy Grail War, which should have been going according to plan, would suddenly involve you … aliens? Heh, what is this! "
Indeed, I sympathized with you. Basically, the local boss in the world that we were involved in would sigh like you. We were used to it.
Interrogations and the like were not my forte. Fortunately, Yan Feng was a person who could recognize reality. Perhaps he thought that the secret was not worth protecting with his life. In short, he didn't hesitate to answer our questions.
I didn't expect that he would go through so much trouble, even indirectly creating the 'Roman Einherjar Legion', a terrifying thing that could topple the world, and almost cause the Holy Grail War to go out of control, just because of his curiosity.
"I want to know the truth of this world."
This was Yan Feng's original intention.
Lin Xue's prophecy couldn't be wrong. Yan Feng was indeed spying on the Bloody Moon, but his goal wasn't just to obtain power. Even though he admitted that he was tempted by the power that could turn a human into a God, his main goal was to find out the truth of the world.
"Another world? Why does it exist?" Although his face was still pale, when he talked about this topic, he actually had a fanatical expression on his face that even the most spirited person would find difficult to show. "A world that is exactly the same as the world we live in. What is the meaning of that? The other side of the mirror? A replica? Or something else? The origin of the world should be the two great restraining powers. Which one of the two restraining powers is the world under the Bloody Moon? What was the Inner World like before it was destroyed? Would there be another me there? Did he see the truth of the world's destruction and birth? What is the meaning of my birth? Isn't this a fascinating mystery? "
Looking at the excited Priest Yan Feng who was like a fanatical explorer, we could only look at each other in astonishment. I never expected that the real Yan Feng would actually be a …
Research enthusiast?
Cough cough, this analogy isn't really appropriate. Strictly speaking, he should be considered a Dao-Seeker, right?
In order to know the truth of the world, or in other words, in order to find the meaning of his own existence, he was a Dao-Seeker who was willing to pay any price to find out the truth.
He didn't even know the meaning of his birth. He could only rely on such a grand and shocking goal to determine the direction to move forward. He didn't have any concept of good or evil. He only wanted to find out the value of his existence. Although Yan Feng Qili gave us some trouble, to be honest, such a person was more worthy of sympathy.
"Throw it into the reactor." Sandora sighed. "Simmer it over low heat."
I stared at her. I stared at her fiercely.
"Ahaha, I was just joking …" The Queen, who had suddenly switched to her mischievous mode, scratched her head awkwardly and giggled foolishly.
As for what exactly the Bloody Moon in the Otherworld was, Yan Feng Qili was obviously unable to find out with his abilities. He allowed Demetrius, who possessed the mystical knowledge of the gods, to enter the Otherworld in hopes of using the ancient and lost secrets to decipher the Bloody Moon. In the end, she chose to summon a guard and live in seclusion with her lover. He allowed Jian Tong's dirty inkstone to enter the Otherworld in hopes that the crazy old man could use his stubbornness and rich demonic knowledge to explore the mystery of the Bloody Moon. In the end, the old man only had the "lowly goal" of using the power of the Bloody Moon to obtain immortality. This was what had happened. The cause was so simple that it could be summarized in two sentences. However, the end result had turned into a chaotic and ridiculous farce.
"What happened in the end? What did you discover?"
I wore a faint smile as I looked at the unlucky man in front of me who had schemed to "seek enlightenment" but had been "accidentally" messed up by the alien photographers. I didn't hate him too much. He wasn't a pure evil person. From a certain perspective, he was more like a simple preacher who didn't care about good or evil — even though his method was wrong.
"The Otherworld is the other side of our hourglass world!" Yan Feng's eyes twinkled with an inexplicable light as he interpreted his conjecture confidently. "The world is an hourglass, and prosperity and brilliance are the grains of sand in it. Our world and the Otherworld are located on opposite sides of the hourglass. Now, we are enjoying the prosperity of our world, but the Otherworld is on the verge of drying up. However, outside the hourglass, there is a hand that is turning it. When the sand on one side runs out, everything will be reversed. This superficial and arrogant world will gradually decline, while the desolate Otherworld will regain its vitality. This is the truth of the world that I discovered! The Crimson Moon is the projection of that hand on the world. Its infinite energy will become stronger and stronger as the world it is in gradually desolate until a critical point, when the hourglass should turn. Moreover, this time is approaching. Soon, we will witness the rebirth of the world. "
I listened to him preach his doctrine blankly. Then, I shrugged. "Then, how do you explain the problem of the two restraints? Which end of the hourglass are they at? "
"They are the Bloody Moon." Yan Feng Qili wore a radiant smile on his face, just like Jesus Christ who was about to save the world. "The restraints have merged into one, turning into the Bloody Moon. This is the real goal of the world. Through repeated destruction and rebirth, humans and the world merge into one, returning to chaos!"
… Is this your plan to complete it?
Yan Feng Qili's crazy conjecture stunned us, but we still had to admire him. As a mere human, with extremely limited resources, he had managed to explain the nature of the world to such a degree. Although there were many mistakes, it was already an amazing achievement.
I waved my hand in front of Yan Feng to calm him down. However, before I could speak, a sudden message from our mental connection made Sandora and my faces change at the same time.
"Uncle Alien, what's wrong?"
Noticing the strange expression on the 'alien photographers', Yuan Ban immediately asked worriedly.
"Something terrible happened. Yan Feng's conjecture is true." I smiled bitterly and spread my hands. "Our headquarters sent a message. The energy fluctuation of the Bloody Moon suddenly increased explosively."
