Grisha Adam nodded, sighing in his tone: "Those Outer Gods outside the Earth have united since the moment you were promoted to Sequence 1... They plan to invade the Earth in advance.
"!!!"
Edward's heart skipped a beat, and he said in astonishment, "But won't that barrier take more than ten years to break?"
"But someone opened a crack inside."
"who?"
As soon as he asked, Edward immediately thought: "Is it Chick?"
Chick had cooperated with the Fallen Mother Goddess before. Not only did he use the polluting power of the Fallen Mother Goddess to deal with Lilith, he also gave the Fallen Mother Goddess the opportunity to give birth to her clone on Earth.
"It is He."
Edward was shocked and asked, "Is Chick crazy?"
Grisha Adam said calmly: "No matter how crazy Chike is, he won't open the barrier, but the problem is... after he failed to kill Lilith last time, he made a wrong decision."
"He went to the depths of the mirror world and merged with the original in the mirror."
"…"
Edward was stunned and said, "Why didn't Lilith know about this? Didn't "She" take away Chick's authority in the mirror world? Logically, Lilith should have discovered this first. How did Chick get into the depths of the mirror world?"
"Of course Chick alone can't do it, but it will be different if the mirror's original active cooperation is there. No matter what, "He" is the real controller of the mirror world, otherwise Lilith would not be completely helpless against "Him."
"Qike originally intended to use the power of the original in the mirror to forcibly contain the City of Disaster and gain greater strength. However, he did not know that the original in the mirror had already been influenced by the consciousness of the 'original'. After integrating with the original in the mirror, Qike naturally could not escape... So, he opened a crack in the barrier."
Edward was stunned and asked, "How do you know all this? Did the Seven Gods know? Didn't they try to stop Chick?"
"I have no idea."
Grisha Adam shook his head. "But judging from the results, the cracks that Chike tore in the barrier may be beneficial to some of the Seven Gods."
"What?" Edward was stunned. "How can letting in an outside god be beneficial to the Seven Gods?"
He held the cross on his chest and said, "Because they know that I will definitely find a way to repair the crack, so that I won't have time to trouble them."
Chapter 709 Mr. Wisdom
"???"
It's already this late, and you're still thinking about this? This is amazing. /Jing*Wu\Xiao,tax-徃+ ~首?發-Have you forgotten that once the barrier is really broken, everyone will be finished!
Oh shit!
I went to the Harry Potter world for a day, and when I turned around I was told that alien gods had invaded and the end of the world had come early?
At this moment, you, Grisha Adam, are still far from being a pillar, the Goddess of Night has not yet decided the winner with the God of War, and the future Lord of Mysteries has just been captured by Amon and is being played as a "game".
I am also a Sequence 1.
How to fight this?
Just wash yourself clean and wait for death!
Edward took a few deep breaths to calm the confusion in his heart. He looked at Grisha Adam and said, "So, you're not telling me this just to scare me, right?"
"I need you to help me... help Hei Ye..."
He once again looked at the intertwined River of Eternal Darkness and Sea of Chaos, "Help us tear off a small portion of the Sea of Chaos and River of Eternal Darkness, so that we can have enough strength in a short period of time to repair the cracks caused by Chike."
"Then what?"
"The rest can only be left to you."
"…"
Edward felt his mouth go dry. "I don't think I can handle this."
Grisha Adam smiled slightly: "When I walked out of Chernobyl after the catastrophe, I never thought that one day I would lead mankind to wipe out the ancient gods and let mankind revive on this land."
"A lot of times, things turn out to be so interesting and unpredictable, aren't they?"
Edward fell into deep thought, and after a moment he suddenly asked, "If I had cooperated with Adam and followed His plan, would this not be the case now?"
"Perhaps."
Grisha Adam said, "But, how do you know that what Adam did at that time was definitely right? How do you know that He intends to replace 'that person' to fight against the original, and it is not His wishful thinking? How do you know... these are not the influence of the original in secret?"
"As you said, you did all this more for self-preservation. Adam certainly had the awareness to sacrifice himself, but he did not have the power to force anyone else to sacrifice."
"The most important thing is that things have happened now, and we should consider how to solve the problem instead of wasting time worrying about whether we did something wrong. That is meaningless."
Edward was silent for a moment, "I understand."
He took a step forward and returned to the world of Harry Potter, arriving at the "abode of the gods", the border between the River of Everdarkness and the Sea of Chaos.
Although Edward didn't know how to tear off a piece of the source before, this was no longer a problem as long as he was in the Harry Potter world.
As his mind moved, the black river in front of him and the golden ocean in the distance each flowed out a tributary, which quickly converged and flowed straight towards Edward.
He spread out his palms, allowing the small light gate that represented the uniqueness of the passage to reappear. Accompanied by a sharp pain, this uniqueness had been separated from Edward's body and turned into an illusory light gate suspended in the air.
At this time, two tributaries flowed in and happened to flow into the illusory light gate. Edward followed closely behind, passed through the light gate and returned to the world of the Lord of Mysteries.
At this moment, the uniqueness of the door has truly opened up the two worlds, and the two worlds have begun to communicate and merge with each other at this moment, and Harry Potter has officially entered the dimension upgrade.
Edward then located Grisha Adam and the Night Goddess (her real body) twice, and opened two illusory doors directly leading to the two, allowing the tributaries of the River of Eternal Darkness and the Sea of Chaos to flow to the corresponding people.
Bang!
Grisha Adam's imaginary personality disappeared after a while of distortion, and his real body stood on the other side of one of the illusory doors, waiting for the tributary of the Chaos Sea to flow through completely, then nodded to Edward from a distance and turned to leave.
Edward said hurriedly, "Wait, I guess you have both blasphemous slabs. Can you give me one? You should know how much it means to me."
Although the last battle with Adam made Edward understand that when fighting against Sequence 0 and above, having ability but no authority can actually have a very limited effect - just like Klein, who was promoted to the Lord of Mysteries, could even fall victim to the Fallen Mother Goddess with one [Fool], but the [Fool] he used had limited effect even on Adam, who had not yet been promoted to Sequence 0.
But no matter what, it's better to have it than nothing. Moreover, I am now a Sequence 1 who has temporarily become a Sequence 0 after using [Illusion] to reverse [Degeneration]. If combined with the Desecration Slate, it might be able to work wonders.
"terribly sorry."
Grisha Adam slowly shook his head and said, "The reason why I am confident in repairing the crack in the barrier is precisely because of the Blasphemous Slate, so please forgive me for not being able to give it to you."
His words immediately reminded Edward of the scene in the original novel where Amon used the Blasphemous Slate to block the Fallen Mother Goddess from using Mr. Gate to invade the Earth, so he turned and asked, "What about the other Blasphemous Slates?"
Grisha Adam then spread his hands, and a delicate and small card flew over through the illusory door and landed accurately in Edward's hand. The surface of the card still looked like Roselle, but his face was sinister and evil, with two devil horns growing on his forehead - this was the Abyss Card.
He said calmly: "This is what I recovered from the dead 'devil' on Blue Mountain Island last time. It is also the last blasphemous card in my hand." - The devil that Grisha Adam was talking about was the descendant of the demon family. Later, he joined forces with the Rose School to assassinate Edward, and finally died under the thunder of the tyrant.
"Okay, thanks."
After putting away the Abyss Card, Edward looked towards the other door. He did not see the Goddess of Night. All he saw was the starry moon flowers and the quiet darkness of night vanilla.
After a moment, the two illusory doors closed and disappeared.
Edward quietly watched the "unique" light gate that was slowly growing larger. With the surge of spirituality, he quickly used the [Hidden] and [Secret-Keeping] abilities of Sequence 0 that he had consumed to cover up the uniqueness of the gate layer by layer.
Then he separated another spirit worm and transformed it into an avatar. Edward said to the avatar, "I'll leave this to you."
He quickly switched to his clone and replied, "Understood."
Yes, strictly speaking this clone is not a clone, the consciousness controlling it is still Edward - it can be said to be doing two things at once. Edward can use the clone to switch to the original body at any time to deal with any "unexpected situations".
The "clone" snapped his fingers, and then his figure disappeared in a flash.
Edward calmed himself down and left as well.
...
The war situation in the northern continent is becoming more and more obvious.
Faced with three countries declaring war at the same time, Loen was losing ground, losing territory every day. Coupled with the death of the king, the entire country was on the verge of collapse, and only a letter of surrender was needed to be defeated.
The southern continent at this time.
After the high-level fighters of the Rose School suffered heavy losses one after another, and the middle-level fighters were killed by the Temperance Faction, the Hedonism Faction of the Rose School was almost dead in name only.
On the other hand, whenever the high-ranking angels and demigods of East Bayram, who were directly or indirectly controlled by the Spirit Cult, tried to intervene in the battlefield, they would be defended by the vampires alone and unable to use their full strength.
In addition, the artificial Death God faction suddenly claimed to have received a response from the Death God, which caused the Spirit Cult to quickly fall apart. Soon they were unable to take care of themselves and could only watch the resistance army's victory quickly expand.
Of course, even so, the strength of the rebels was still somewhat inferior to that of the East and West Bayram regular army. It was not until the rebels launched new aerial weapons with faster speed and stronger firepower that the regular army collapsed all of a sudden.
If Edward were here, he would definitely recognize this "new weapon". It was somewhat similar to the fighter jet he got from the Harry Potter world for the Goddess of Night, except that the "new weapon" was more like an alchemical product.
However, this huge technological gap still created a dimensionality reduction attack. Although no final decision was made, people with a discerning eye knew that the overall situation had been decided.
It was at this moment that, underground in the Intis Palace, a handsome and slightly gentle man opened his eyes. He felt that the ceremony for his promotion to the Red Priest had been completed.
At this time, He took out a flagpole made of iron-black metal, with a large number of dangerous blood spots on the flag, a burnt flag, picked up the prepared magic potion, and drank it all.
Just then,
A figure wearing black armor and a crown appeared. He walked forward slowly, sighed and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Wisdom."
"…"
The handsome man's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "You are not dead... The thief of the country, Roselle Gustav!"
"You too, Your Majesty."
Russell said with a complicated expression: "I thought you had turned back into a woman a long time ago, enjoying the freedom and life you wanted. I didn't expect you to go this far."
The man with a gentle face said calmly:
"I trusted you so much at the beginning and handed all the power of Intis to you, but you were still not satisfied. Not only did you usurp the throne, but you also demoted the people of the Soran family to commoners and nailed me to the shame of history!"
"I believed in Adam so much, and I joined the Twilight Hermits only to gain freedom, but He used me and Fomonda to clear the obstacles for you, and sacrificed us without hesitation for the trend of His time!"
Russell was speechless for a moment.
"So, you did this just to get revenge on us?"
The former "Queeness" of Intis, Doloren Solon, sneered: "Revenge?"
"Oh, I don't care about those things anymore. I just deeply understand that so-called freedom must be based on strength. If I can possess supreme power, then I will have infinite freedom!"
Chapter 710 Amon's Promotion "Error"
Russell asked with a complicated expression:
"So you once again believe in the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and the God of Steam and Machinery, and plan to use them to become a red priest?"
"you..."
Before Russell could finish, the sound of mechanical gears suddenly rang in his ears, and then a towering tree rose from the ground.
Feeling the changes around him, Roselle raised his hand, but ultimately did nothing, allowing this force to lead him into the astral realm - a white-bearded old man holding a book and a muscular man holding a hammer walked out.
They are Herabergen, the god of knowledge and wisdom, and Stiano, the god of steam and machinery.
Roselle looked at the two and grinned, "Stiano, I didn't go looking for you, but you still dared to trouble me?! Perfect, let's settle the new and old grudges together!"
A powerful twisting force exploded.
For a moment, the rules of the entire star realm were distorted.
...
At the same time, after drinking the potion, Doloren Soran quickly and completely contained the half-contained uniqueness.
In an instant, the shackles that had trapped him for decades were completely shattered, and the passionate shouts of thousands of soldiers rang in his ears. They waved battle flags and shouted his name frantically. Gradually, they connected with his soul and formed a heart network with the Red Priest as the core.
And little by little, He took the final step towards becoming the Red Priest.
But at this moment, his body shook, his consciousness suddenly froze, and a teasing laugh sounded in his ears:
"Thank you very much."
Doloren Soran's pupils burst into boundless anger: "No! Don't even think about it..."
"Alas, I regret to tell you that the two Conqueror traits you obtained when you were promoted to Red Priest… were all imagined by Adam. The real Beyonder traits have always been with Lilith. Your promotion was a scam from the beginning."
Doloren Soren was stunned.
The next second, his figure completely froze, and then he raised his right hand, put it close to his face, and put on a crystal monocle on his right eye.
"It's a lie."
"I stole them from Lilith and gave them to you. How could they be fake? Shh—don't let Him know. He thought he had two copies of the Conqueror's Beyonder Characteristics in his hands."
At this moment, a ray of light suddenly burst out from the crystal clear monocle, illuminating the whole world.
At this moment, all the seal failure errors were corrected, all seemingly normal behaviors were wrong, and all clocks skipped several seconds.
The light soon faded, and Doloren Solon had turned into Amon, who wore a pointed hat and a classical black robe. He replaced Doloren Solon at his promotion ceremony and completed his own deification ceremony.
He looked at the extraordinary characteristics of the three strange crowns covered with rust and blood in front of him, and the blood flag of Salinger that had been temporarily sealed from the double-source pollution, and then threw it behind him.
"Medici, the pollution on this Salinger blood flag was temporarily sealed by the paranoid with the help of the power of the Chaos Sea. Are you sure you want to take it? It is a double-source pollution. Be careful not to end up like Doloren Solon."
Medici walked out of the darkness with heavy steps. He grinned and said, "Do you think I have anything to lose or fear? What that woman said just now is right. Only when you have supreme power, you are qualified to consider other things."
"Well, good luck to you."
Amon adjusted the monocle on his right eye, then smiled, bowed slightly, and saluted to everyone around him. "Thank you all for watching.
Edward, I'm coming to see you."
...
Astral world.
Herabergen did not intervene in the battle between Roselle and the God of Steam and Machinery. After all, this time they only wanted to stop Roselle and work together to raise "their own" red priest, not to fight to the death.
Although Roselle was stabbed in the White Maple Palace due to the involvement of several major churches and the gods behind them, Roselle has now been resurrected and become the Black Emperor. Considering that the end of the world is approaching, these things are no longer a problem.
boom!
A roar erupted in the starry sky once again, and the surrounding space shattered into tiny black holes under the distortion of rules and order. The nearest kingdom of the god of steam and machinery was inevitably affected, and countless machines and gears were torn into pieces by the black holes.
Roselle's body turned into a solid entity after a moment of illusion. He stretched out his five fingers and twisted them. The various creatures surrounding Stiano were directly disturbed and severed their connection with their master, falling to the ground with a clang.
At this time, Stiano generated dim, unclear, and colorless rays of light from the void, as if they were composed of a vast amount of imaginary things. He flicked his finger, and the ray of light went straight to Roselle. If touched by it, even an angel would be instantly reduced to the most basic particle structure.
At this moment, Russell suddenly felt a faint but obvious vibration coming from the entire star realm. He was slightly startled and suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahahaha, interesting, interesting! So interesting!"
At this moment, Stiano and Herabergen's expressions were no longer calm. They also felt this fluctuation, which came from the promotion of a certain Sequence 0. However, this person was not the Red Priest, but the Thief of Paths, a mistake, and Amon!
Roselle casually twisted the glimmer of light and beamed with joy: "You said you guys worked so hard, and secretly did such a series of bad things, but in the end... when the time came, someone else stole the chicken!"
"Hahahaha, I seriously doubt whether this matter was arranged by Adam from the beginning, specially prepared for Amon's promotion. It's a pity that you two have no idea. You are being sold and still helping others count money. ~咸~鱼/看\书^ +冕+费·岳^黩*"
"Well, now that your Red Priest is gone, there is an extra 'error' on Adam's side. It's going to be interesting to watch."
As he said this, Roselle turned around and said, "If you don't intend to keep me here any longer, I'll leave."
Herabergen's eyes flashed and he disappeared.
After regaining his composure, Stiano looked at Roselle and said calmly, "Welcome back, my son of steam."
"…"
Russell raised his eyebrows: "Are you taking advantage of me?"
Stiano said nothing more. He walked slowly back to the Kingdom of God. The area that had just been affected by the battle quickly returned to its original state with his arrival. His figure gradually disappeared among the machinery and gears.
"Fuck you!"
After giving a middle finger gesture, Roselle jumped directly from the astral realm back to reality.
When Roselle left the astral realm, Edward passed through the illusory door and came to the astral realm, to the foggy country - Chick's kingdom of God.
The last time I came here was when I was chasing Zaratul. I accidentally entered here and was caught by Chike. When I came again, this place was already an "empty city".
He threw in the gold coin to make sure Chick was not there, then he stepped forward.
As soon as he entered the range of the fog, Edward felt a slight tingling sensation on his skin, and the hairs on his body stood up. He was very familiar with this feeling - he had experienced it before when facing the Fallen Mother Goddess, and it was caused by Her pollution.
But the difference is that the composition of the pollution this time is undoubtedly much more complicated. A rough feeling shows that there are at least six or seven different kinds of pollution. Looking at the poppy flowers growing around, they have been distorted into all kinds of strange shapes under the influence of various pollutions. Many of them have directly turned into huge monsters covered with tumors, which are madly devouring the surroundings.
Edward's appearance immediately excited the monsters, but the blue-black flames burned them to ashes in the next second. Then, with a wave of his hand, a strong wind from the Tyrant Path blew away the fog that had shrouded the area for thousands of years.
"…"
Edward was startled by the huge crack in the distant sky. It was like a huge eye looking down from the sky. The edge of the crack was covered with terrible scratches. The surrounding space and time were distorted under the invasion of the power of the outer gods.
"This has already broken through the barrier."
Edward thought it was just a "small crack" as Grisha Adam said. With such a big crack, could it be that the Outer Gods have already invaded the Earth?
He immediately denied this idea. If that were really the case, the world would have been doomed the moment the alien gods invaded and the first thing they saw would befall them.
Edward's mind moved, and he spread his spirituality towards the crack, trying to repair it through his [Imagination] and [Construction] abilities, but he stopped after a few seconds - this thing can indeed be repaired, but the amount of spirituality and imagination required is an astronomical figure.
This is not surprising. The original barrier was one of the three pillars that was set up in the beginning. Now I am not even at Sequence 0, and I am even further away from the original.
Suddenly, Edward saw a shadow emerging from the crack, and two scarlet eyes appeared and looked at Edward from a distance.
In just a moment, Edward felt a strong urge burning in his heart, wanting to rush forward regardless of everything, rush out of the crack, and throw himself into the arms of those two scarlet eyes.
Fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly, and was eliminated by [Unruly] in an instant. The owner of those eyes was obviously an "old acquaintance" - Desire Cassava.
Even though he knew that these Outer Gods might not be able to break the barrier in a short period of time, Edward still decisively gave in. Without even saying a harsh word, he teleported away from here.
A strong sense of anxiety cast a shadow over his heart. The current development of the situation not only exceeded his expectations, but also far exceeded his ability.
Edward wanted to do something, but he was at a loss.
Looking at this seemingly peaceful star realm, he wondered: While Grisha Adam was actively preparing to repair the cracks in the barrier, what were the other gods doing?
Are the Eternal Flame, the Wise Old Dragon, and the Tyrant still on guard against Grisha Adam, who has ascended to the throne of God, fearing that he will come looking for them to settle accounts with the thorns of the Redemption Rose?
Is the God of War planning to take action against the Goddess of Night, and kill her while she still has the power of the God of Death in order to regain her old self?
Is the Mother Goddess of Earth waiting for the God of War to take action, and then cooperate with the Goddess of Night to give the God of War a fatal blow at the critical moment, just like in the original book?
Is the God of Steam and Machinery worried about Roselle's resurrection, worried that he will seek revenge on him?
Hey, what time is it now?
"Huh? Weird."
Suddenly, a doubtful voice came to my ear, "Isn't the uniqueness of the door in your body?"
Edward immediately reached out to himself and stole a giant Time Worm. At the same time, he gave all of the Sequence 0 Black Emperor abilities, such as bribery, distortion, and confusion, to Amon.
The next second, Amon's figure appeared a few meters away, with a hint of amusement on his face: "You can even influence the gods. Your ability to record is extraordinary."
Amon's words made Edward raise his eyebrows, "You... have been promoted to Sequence 0?"
"Yes, just a few minutes ago."
He said with a smile, "Look, the first person I approached after my promotion was you. Are you touched?"
Chapter 711 Amon in the Harry Potter World
"Yeah, I am indeed somewhat moved."
Edward was not in a hurry and asked casually, "Aren't you taking Klein to the God-Forsaken Land?"
"Oh, that's just one of my clones." Amon said as he grabbed Edward several times in a row, "It's to lure Lilith over there."
"How do you know that I would let Lilith..." Just when Edward said this, he thought of something, "Oh, it's Grisha Adam?"
Amon hummed, "You're not that stupid."
"But, that doesn't make sense?"
"His intentions were completely good. On the one hand, he wanted to create an opportunity for me to be promoted to 'Error'. On the other hand, he was afraid that Lilith would mess things up and make things out of control." Amon laughed. "After all, if Lilith knew that her so-called 'layout' had benefited others in the end, she would definitely go crazy."
Edward immediately understood what He said. "You were promoted at the godhood ceremony of another red priest? Who? Medici?"
"I won't tell you."
He pinched his monocle and smiled slightly: "I found the loophole."
He stretched out his hand and instantly stole Edward's vitality, abilities, thoughts, etc. But at this moment, Edward's body squirmed for a while and turned into a star worm and flew into Amon's hand.
"...Tsk, I feel so embarrassed. You deceived me with your illusion again."
Amon held the wriggling star worm in his hand and said calmly, "But you are too naive this time."
When speaking, He directly confused the relationship between the star worm and Edward's original body, making all His actions towards the star worm equivalent to affecting Edward's original body.
