Chapter 1001 New Era
When the statue of Hermes leaped down from above, he certainly would not have thought of what would happen to him.
Just like Hermes himself on the top of the tower, he would never have imagined that there is a magic elf who can absorb and purify this level of pollutants—even turn them into energy and spray them out!
When the vision of the god statue was completely swallowed by the sudden flash of light, Hermes also severely crushed the Magic Chess in his hand.
But Principal Arte, who was sitting opposite him, stretched out his hand to the teacup beside the chessboard.
"What a disaster," she thought.
Aurora and the others, who were hiding on the penultimate floor, suddenly heard a terrifying explosion coming from below, and the entire tower on the upper floor shook violently because of this, and they couldn't help feeling worried.
And Oli and the others who were still on the top floor rushed into the corridor quickly and leaped downward.
The originally impenetrable support pillar had cracks. The section of stairs that was affected by the explosion was even reduced to powder. Dak moved his hand covering his eyes, and he saw that the god statue that had suffered from the [Seed Flash] was already too horrible to look at.
Half of its face, which was reproduced to Hermes, was lost—not the left and right half, but the front and back half!
As good as it is on the top of the head, it's even worse below the neck
Its legs were almost gone, leaving only a pitch-black metal skeleton, and the skeleton of its right leg was even more severely bent.
The "wing boots" that made it as light as a swallow have completely disappeared, and it is no longer possible for it to move silently at that terrifying speed.
As for the upper body, its left hand was almost gasified, but its right hand was still there, but the "scepter of Shang God" in his hand had turned into a twist.
However.
Although it looks miserable, it has not been destroyed.
The "heart" in the middle of the body that stores divine power is still beating, with a calm and powerful voice.
Damage to the appearance is not fatal to a statue of a god. Although its combat ability has declined, it has not been lost.
It's still a huge threat!
Therefore, when its soles moved suddenly, Dak picked up [Xie Mi] without hesitation, and disappeared in front of the statue by virtue of [Evil Beast]'s [Teleportation].
The CD of [Natural Response] is 30 minutes.
The CD of [Seed Flash] is ten minutes.
Ten minutes later, [Xie Mi] can absorb and release the pollutants without purifying them, and use [Seed Flash] again.
Although the power of the [Seed Flash] released from this is not as powerful as the [Seed Flash] used with [Natural Regeneration], it can still guarantee good damage due to the quality of the pollutants.
However, the ten-minute cd is indeed a bit long.
If you want to delay for another ten minutes, you still need the cooperation of the Hermes statue.
In fact, since the battle so far, Darke has already had quite a guess about the law of action of the statue and the thoughts of Hermes behind it.
Use this as a basis.
Only then can he deal with the idol.
Otherwise, if the god statue used its authority to attack with all its strength from the beginning, he would have no chance of winning.
And later, even if the idol felt something was wrong and finally wanted to go all out, he had already found a way to defeat the enemy.
Now that the divine power of the statue is not much left, and it is seriously damaged, there is more room for maneuver.
— After [Teleportation] ended, Dak appeared on the floor not far from the top floor
Then he reached out and wiped it, and summoned a bottle of [Zhahua Milk], and handed it to [Evil Beast].
[Devil Beast]'s evolution lasts for fifteen minutes, and each [Teleportation] only needs an interval of thirty seconds.
As long as he firmly attracts the hatred of the idol, Dak can use the [Evil Beast] to jump back and forth on the upper floor of this [Tower of Endymion]. But that's only possible under normal circumstances. Now after [Xie Mi] used [Seed Flash], those pollutants have rioted and are spewing upwards at a faster speed than before.
Under such circumstances, he had to start thinking about how to leave the tower.
The window on the top floor of the tower has been blocked by the barrier set by the statue, but the window below is not.
What prevented them from leaving was actually the black mist and pollutants outside. But now there is a greater danger coming. If it is absolutely necessary, even with the black fog and pollutants, you have to rush out of this [Tower of Endymion]
As for being sent back by Hermes?
If you really want to leave at that time, you will definitely have to throw down the twelve gold medals. Dak is also very clear on this point.
Only by planning a retreat in advance can we respond to the enemy more calmly. But fighting so far, one thing is really very grateful to that statue. Except for the use of authority over everyone that time, the target of the statue was very clear.
It didn't attack anyone else, and kept staring closely at Dak Dimon.
Dak is very grateful for this.
His [Blessing of the Wind Spirit] has not yet been triggered, and he is not too afraid of sudden fatal attacks.
Moreover, [Fairy Puppet] was always attached to his body.
The [Fairy Puppet] could take the damage instead of him at the most critical moment, and instantly trigger the [Flicker Curse] to teleport him away.
The trigger mechanism of [Fairy Puppet] is even before [Blessing of the Wind Spirit].
In this way, it is equivalent to him having two extra lives.
As long as the hatred of the idol is always locked on him, then everyone else is safe.
He seized the opportunity to summon [Magic Secretary] and ordered it to pass the message on his behalf. Then, a [Stardust Little Dragon] was driven by the [Stardust Dragon]
flew to his side.
The fight fell into his favorite personal rhythm. The footsteps of the statue have already been heard from below.
The footsteps were extremely heavy, and every step produced a sound of metal collision.
But it didn't turn out to be as bulky as expected.
After losing the "wing boots", it also lost the ability to fly, but its own strength allows it to use the reaction force to explode its speed when it pedals on the ground
So its climbing speed is not slow. But that's "not slow".
Dak estimated its speed, and made sure that he was capable of reacting to the rush of this speed.
He pointed down and said: "Go." The [Stardust Dragon] swam towards the bottom.
[Star Little Dragon] has a chance to be exempted from death, even if it fails, it only needs 1000 points of magic power to be re-summoned. It is the best player to explore the way without money.
And Dak launched a sacrificial summon very much, and this time he summoned [Duolong Baruto]!
【Duolong Baruto】has the characteristic of 【Penetration】. Even though the attack power is not strong, the "heart" of the statue has been exposed.
As long as the [Penetration] feature takes effect, the statue can feel threatened to some extent.
Dak didn't expect [Duolong Baruto] to penetrate the heart of the idol with [Dragon Arrow] and assassinate it. But as long as you can make that idol feel even the slightest threat, it's a profit.
He needs to stall for time.
Ten minutes is a very long time.
Accompanied by [Stardust Little Dragon]'s short cry, the statue finally stepped onto the floor here.
Dak didn't immediately order [Wicked Beast] to transfer instantly, but continued to use [Bliss i] to evolve the two [Duolong Mesia] accompanied by [Duolong Baruto] into [Duolongqi] .
Those two [Duolongqi] were directly blocked in the corridor, the one standing in front started [Guardian], and the one behind used [Sing in turn].
[Round singing] Although it can't effectively kill the idol, it is a nirvana of sound after all, which can always make people irritated and produce an effect similar to [provocation].
And the [Guardian] of the [Duolongqi] in front has thirty seconds of invincibility—although Dak suspects that the statue should be able to easily break the [Guardian] of [Duolongqi], it can resist at least one attack.
And after this attack, the long-hidden [Duolong Baruto] will use the two [Duolongqi] associated [Duolong Mesia] to turn into [Dragon Arrow] and shoot out.
[Dragon Arrow] can penetrate the armor and shield of the target. The "heart" of the statue is also wrapped in a metal shell. The possibility of being able to penetrate is not useless.
"boom!"
as expected.
After the idol encountered blocking the way, it punched out without saying a word. It has already thrown away the "scepter of the god of business", and the only remaining right fist is still wrapped in a huge and terrifying power.
With this punch, the threshold of [Hold] was directly broken and shattered like glass.
Immediately after the idol stepped out with its feet, the ol punched the second [Duolongqi] again!
The [Duolongqi] quickly unfolded [Hold].
At the moment when the statue's right fist touched the shield of [Hold], the long-awaited [Duolong Baruto] quietly emerged, and the two [Duolong Mesia] shrunk in the triangular launch port of its head immediately Get sprayed out by it.
Ultimate skill - [Dragon Arrow]!
Those two [Duolong Mecia] turned into light arrows and shot out at that moment, and shot into the "heart" of the statue at an extremely tricky angle!
I don't know if it was protected by its "confidant" Ming-headed man nt Jiao Gong, or because part of its divine power was lost in the explosion just now.
In short, the two [Dragon Arrows] of [Duolong Baruto] actually penetrated the metal shell and penetrated into the energy heart hidden in it.
But the expected "heart explosion" and other scenes did not happen. The statue was only in a daze for about half a minute. The half minute seemed to freeze.
Dak pondered over whether [Dragon Arrow] would work.
But [Doron Mecia], who was shot into the heart, could not return even though he was pregnant with [Stand Up].
It has a high probability of being ablated by the energy in the heart.
It's just not clear whether the energy in its heart is decreasing or increasing?
This is indeed a difficult problem to measure.
But since [Duolong Mesia] did not return, it is impossible for [Duolong Baruto] to launch another [Dragon Arrow].
Considering these is not very meaningful in itself.
It can only be guessed from the performance of the statue that [Dragon Arrow] should have taken effect and had a certain degree of negative impact on it.
Dak patted the [Evil Beast] behind him, and at the moment when the idol moved again, he used [Teleportation] to move to the lower floor.
In this instant transfer, Darke had estimated the spewing speed of the pollutant, but he was still taken aback when it appeared very close to the pollutant.
[Instant Teleportation] Although it is easy to use, if it is transferred to some dangerous place, it will be impossible to save it.
He hurriedly carried 【Xie Mi】and ran up. Hearing the sound again, the statue really chased him down again.
To be honest, Dak was very worried that the idol would give up chasing him and attack others.
But now it seems that its intelligence may not be as high as imagined? Or [Seed Flash] blasted through its logic system?
But anyway, after moving to a slightly safer floor. Dake immediately entered the building on that floor. At the entrance of the corridor, he left behind a [Cat Boss]!
The [Cat Boss] who also has [Defend] can at least block the punch of the statue.
As long as it is delayed for ten minutes, [Xie Mi]'s second [Seed Flash] will help the statue recall the joy of being a dead thing.
However.
this time.
When [Cat Boss] suddenly let out a menacing roar, Dak immediately sensed a strong burst of divinity, which spread to the entire floor in an instant.
The [Evil Beast]'s [Teleportation] that was launched immediately failed on the spot! The statue of Hermes actually opened the barrier directly on this floor
Dak couldn't help but his heart sank.
This floor is not far from the pollutants, even within ten minutes, the pollutants will completely fill this floor.
What is the statue of Hermes thinking?
It opens an enchantment here, isn't it afraid that someone will go to the top floor and bring the rest of the statues?
Well, they might not be able to smash the idol. But take down those pipes head office?
And those twelve gold medals are all in his backpack.
If jade and stone are burned together, the twelve gold medals in the backpack will also be swallowed by pollutants!
If it itself is swallowed by pollutants, it is impossible to return to the top floor and continue the ritual.
So this is obviously very, very unreasonable!
So, if a robot with Advanced intelligence suddenly behaved illogically, what would be the reason?
Program bug? Invasion by virus? Logic circuit burst caused by hardware damage?
But no matter what the reason is, it shouldn't be what Hermes wants to see, right?
Dak raised his head slightly, thoughtful.
The reason why he can still maintain his composure is simple.
This behavior of the statue of Hermes also means that it has reached its end.
The idol at this time is far from the best condition.
If it didn't use its authority, it would probably be inferior to the [Monster Angel] in the underground city.
But on Dak's side, there are still cards that are useless! Yes.
Although he has been looking forward to [Devil King Aldridge] returning with the nirvana of devouring.
But even if [Devil King Aldridge] fails to return in time, he can still summon it, and then fuse with [Devil King Aleister]!
The fourteen-star [Four-Wing Elvis Presley] was his last hole card. With the current situation, he can perfectly avoid the prying eyes of [Twin Paladins].
It's just those few nirvana skills, it's really a pity. After a short thought, Dak had already summoned. Start with [Magic Beast: Fusion of Cursed Creature Dragon].
Then use this one-star dragon species as a sacrifice, and special summon [Flame Conquer Dragon·Explosive Dragon].
Offer [Flame Conquer Dragon·Explosive Dragon] and a two-star magic elf as a sacrifice, and summon a nine-star magic elf——[Bilijion]! "Bilizion, start the [Quick Defense] field." "Wow! "
[Bilijion] raised his head slightly, and transformed the [Holy Sword], and then immediately launched the defensive area, bringing this part of the space into the range of [Quick Defense].
But just as the [Quick Defense] field was fully unfolded, the wall separating the entire floor in front was silently turned into powder.
An extremely terrifying breath of death rushed over as the wall disappeared.
[Bilijion] felt the extremely evil dark breath, and suddenly his hair exploded. [Raging Heart of Justice] was passively triggered, and let out a fierce roar in the direction of the wall.
Dak frowned suddenly, feeling an extremely ominous premonition in his heart.
Hermes is a celestial god known for his powers such as [Business], [Traveler], [Stealing], and [Fraud]. Why does his statue exude such a terrifying breath of the underworld?
Under the influence of that breath, this area seemed to be dragged into the underworld, and the air was mixed with a suffocating smell.
The dark aura originating from the underworld and the dark aura emanating from the pollutants seem to have the same attributes, but they are clearly distinct. It is very intuitive to feel that they are not in the same system at all.
However, no matter what kind of dark breath it is, it is deadly! "In the name of Dak Dimon, the magician summons——[Qiuqiu Sea Lion]!
At this moment, Dak deeply understood that he had no room for hesitation.
When he summoned [Quqiu Sea Lion], he had already drawn out the magic card of [Bliss 4·Month].
At the same time, the figure of [Duolong Baruto] appeared behind him
This seven-star magical elf sneaked up to his side faster than the statue of Hermes.
And with [Duolong Baruto] and the evolved [Flowering Sea Lion] as sacrifices, the twelve-star magic spirit——[Devil King Aleister] can be sacrificed and summoned immediately!
After successfully summoning [Devil Lord Aleister], he will cancel the summoning of [Devil King Aldridge], and then summon it again by his side.
But the entire summoning process was interrupted abruptly until the sacrificial summoning [Devil King Aleister].
The statue of Hermes has stepped into the outermost room on this floor through the ruins all over the floor.
At this moment, it was no longer in the distressed and severely damaged appearance. The dark breath of the underworld covered its whole body, burning and jumping like a flame.
It is like a death knight returning from the underworld, with a skull mask faintly appearing on its face.
Although Dak couldn't guess which power it used, it must be related to the underworld.
The statue of Hermes first sealed this layer with an enchantment, and then used the last divine power to activate this power related to the underworld. All these actions are illogical.
It would not do it any good to die with Dak.
Destroying those twelve gold medals would completely defeat its core purpose.
Exhausting all the divine power is tantamount to giving up the mission sent by Hermes.
It couldn't have done that, nor should it.
But now it did, and it did it with extraordinary decisiveness. Dak felt the pressure of terror.
He endured this pressure and completed the sacrificial summons, and 【Devil King Aleister】appeared in front of him.
[Devil King Aleister], who knew nothing about what was happening right now, opened his eyes and saw the idol covered in black flames, his eyes widened and his face showed horror.
In its heart, it cursed crazily.
However, its body is still under the compulsory control of Dak, and it can only be forced to face opponents that are obviously not at its level.
"Where are my countrymen?"
Suddenly, 【Devil King Aleister】thought of his brother【Devil King Aldridge】.
But before it could turn its head to look for the position of 【Devil King Aldridge】, it saw the idol raise its hand and push it forward.
A pitch-black flame suddenly gushed out from behind him, sweeping like a tsunami.
【Biligeon】bears the brunt, it used 【Quick Defense】at that moment and instantly shifted to the front of 【Devil King Aleister】.
But in less than half a second, it and [Devil Lord Aleister] had been burned to dry bones by the pitch-black flames.
Wherever the flame passes, no armor will remain.
[Bilijion] was vaporized immediately.
(The Demon King Eleister] was burnt to ashes, and the [Crown of Immortality] fell and was buried in the ashes.
After the statue of Hermes burned the two magic elves blocking the way to death, it continued to walk forward.
Dak's thinking was spinning at a high speed, and the excessive pressure caused sweat to drip from his forehead
[Shamy] Standing on his shoulder, he made a cute and fierce cry at the idol.
Dak put his hand deep into the backpack and grabbed a [Ball of Truth]. At this time, even forcibly summoning 【Devil Lord Aldridge】 would not bring about any change.
[Devil Lord Aldridge] without [Steel Body] will also be burned to ashes by the pitch-black flame just like [Devil Lord Aleister].
Without [Arrogance 4] and [Bliss V], [Little Evil Beast] cannot be super-evolved, and even if it is super-evolved, it cannot change anything.
But he is not completely helpless.
He opened the [Ball of Truth], reached out and grabbed the handle of the [Witch's Wand], and slowly pulled it out of the backpack.
His eyes were fixed on the statue, and the pressure in his heart soared
When he decided to go to the Mountain of the Gods, he had already considered this aspect.
What would he do if the professors, Nix, Elgany and him were all helpless against the possible dangers in [Heavenly Court], and thus fell into a certain death situation?
He has considered this aspect, but he will subconsciously avoid thinking deeply.
At this time, we are really facing a desperate situation. Although the situation is not the same as the preset situation, it is also time to make a choice.
If you think about it carefully, entering this [Heavenly Court] means facing the gods. But with gods as opponents, you can only become gods.
It's just that this time the situation is indeed different from the preset one.
In the pre-set situation, there should be professors behind him, there are Aurora, Ollie, Angourui... and in order to protect those who cherish him, he will put that option on the on the countertop.
But it's just on the table.
Before things actually happened, he wasn't sure if he could make up his mind and make that choice.
But the current situation is even weaker than the preset situation. Although he grabbed the [Witch's Wand], he also didn't make a choice. Although the [Witch's Wand] has aroused his jealousy, even though there is already a system prompt of [Jealousy +1] in front of him.
But his initial [jealousy] is really not high, and his self-control ability is extremely strong, the speed of [jealousy +1] is not as fast as expected, and there is still a long way to go before breaking through the critical point. He can stop any time. "mum--"
[Xie Mi] wants to rush out. But he took him behind him.
Rushing out at this time is undoubtedly death. But if you don't rush out, can you live?
The top of the Tower of Endymion.
Hermes and Principal Arte have stopped playing chess.
Hermes' eyes were extremely gloomy, but he still stared at Principal Arte.
At this time, Principal Arte has also lost his original calmness. No one can measure everything.
Even the fortuneteller on the star tower, or the goddess of fate who knows the fate, cannot be omniscient and omnipotent.
The sudden change of the statue was completely unexpected to Hermes and Principal Arte.
Hermes didn't want to see this change. Principal Arte also didn't want to see it.
But things have developed to the present, and there is no possibility of a win-win situation for both parties.
In the final result, only the winner takes all, or, lose-lose! Hermes can't do the winner-take-all, but he can do...lose-lose! It doesn't matter if it's emotional, or it's a bad brain That's okay, anyway, he just doesn't want to see the woman in front of him make any moves!
And under his oppression, Principal Arte was indeed unable to make a move. The gap between the two sides is indeed too great.
Even if Hermes is already dead in the grave and a candle in the wind, it is not something that a human being who has not yet cast Godhood can offend.
He has his own dignity and confidence.
"Sit down and have a good talk?" Principal Arte calmed down and said in a dignified tone.
But Hermes just sneered. There is no wind at the top of the tower, only light. Twelve colors.
Inside the tower.
Dak stepped back step by step. [Xie Mi] is embraced by him. [Evil Beast] didn't move around without authorization. The statue of Hermes approached step by step.
It has no language system, and can only make a silent roar when it opens its mouth.
Its eyes are dark and deep, as if there is a black hole hidden in it.
Its energy heart exudes a fiery red light, draining the last bit of divine power.
It doesn't have any other thoughts in its mind, and there is only one goal left
It stretched out its hand, and Black's flame danced in its palm.
It stared at Duck with a murderous look. The distance between the two sides shortened step by step. Finally, there was only a distance of three to five meters left.
The god statue, which should have no expression system, showed a ferocious smile on the black air covering its face slightly.
Then the next moment.
The statue of Hermes slammed the Black flame in his hand at Dark
When the flame was thrown out, it was only the size of a palm.
But as soon as he left his hand, it turned into a fire all over the sky.
[Evil Beast] grabbed [Xie Mi], and then used [Teleportation] to teleport to the back of the statue.
But Dak was locked on by the divine power of the statue and couldn't teleport at all.
He didn't let go of his heart until the end, allowing the [Witch's Wand] to make his [Jealousy] skyrocket.
In the darkness, he had already made a choice.
On the face engulfed by the Black flames, there was an eternal smile.
"Boom!"
The Black flame that completely devoured Dak Dimon blasted through the wall behind him, and also blasted through the enchantment set by the statue itself.
The black mist outside the wall was instantly burned by the Black flame from the underworld. Pollutants sloughed off the shattered walls and crashed into the dark, dull ground.
Outside air poured in through the gap between the fire and the wall. There is wind flow within the floor.
A small puppet appeared in the flames.
But it didn't even stay for 0.1 second, and was burned to ashes by Black's flame.
Laughter suddenly came from the top of the Tower of Endymion. Principal Arte grabbed the Magic Chess and slammed it hard at Hermes' face, smiling very happily.
Hermes' face seemed to be dripping with ink. He pressed the chessboard on the chessboard, and a corner of the chessboard turned into powder.
"you lose!"
Principal Arte smiled smugly.
Dak Dimon certainly wasn't dead.
[Fairy Puppet] forcibly broke the lock of the idol and teleported him to a safe location.
The last bit of divine power was exhausted—no, the idol with only the last bit of divine power left stopped moving, the breath of the underworld on its body melted like snow, and the damaged parts of its body reappeared.
The energy heart beats as slowly as a rusty clock. Driven by the last bit of divine power, it turned around slowly, and behind it saw the human boy who should have completely perished in the flames!
There was a pink vortex around the boy suddenly lit up.
A goblin with dragonfly wings came out suddenly, looking around like lightning.
"Professor Lily?"
Dak, who was still panting just now, immediately called out the little fairy's name with a look of astonishment.
He originally thought that the one specially summoned by the extra effect of [Fairy Puppet] would be [Cute Beast], which was the only fairy species he recorded in [Fairy Puppet].
But just now, he watched Professor Lily emerge from the summoning vortex!
Professor Lily Laplace is more reliable than ever in this moment.
She didn't even ask where it was, she just grabbed Dak's hand and retreated like the wind.
"mum!"
[Xie Mi] jumped up suddenly and grabbed Dak's sleeve.
【Evil Beast】Looking at the statue that was moving again, it quickly flapped its wings and chased after it.
It wasn't until he distanced himself from the statue that Professor Lily hurriedly asked, "What was that just now?"
Darke said succinctly: "The statue of Hermes, but its divine power has tended to be exhausted."
"Is it the statue of Hermes?" Professor Lily stopped suddenly, "It's the only one?"
Dak nodded, and then said with some uncertainty: "There are eleven statues of other gods on the top floor, but they should not be controlled by Hermes.
"So it's the only one!" Professor Lily's face showed excitement.
Dak looked at her lovely face that was gradually turning rosy, and suddenly had a bad feeling.
But when he reacted, Professor Lily had already recoiled towards the statue of Hermes.
Then he heard footsteps upstairs.
But Oli and the others sensed that there was a change here, and rushed down quickly
Dak was a little worried about Lily, so he quickly asked [Devil Beast] to report her safety, and then touched it back there.
This time and again, the drive of the statue has been fully restored. Its last divine power was no longer able to support it to use any authority, and even the move of shooting beams of light from its eyes had to be disabled.
But its power is still overbearing, but its speed has slowed down a lot because of the lack of "wing boots". Even Professor Lily would not feel particularly relaxed when dealing with this kind of opponent.
--I guess so?
In short, when Dak just got to the position where he could see them, he found that the statue's right fist was passing through Professor Lily's body—it was like passing through a phantom, only causing a slight ripple .
Immediately afterwards, Professor Lily appeared on its side in a flash, and reached out to touch the only half of its head left.
"Ugly!"
This time, Duck clearly heard Professor Lily's muttering. "But Kazel is supposed to like it?"
Then, Duck saw an extra [Ball of Truth] in Professor Lily's hand!
The process of grabbing the idol into the [Ball of Truth] is not easy.
Its performance is terrifyingly strong, even the last bit of divine power is enough to make it last for a long time.
In order to catch it, Professor Lily summoned thousands of [Ghost Butterflies] in one go!
It was an army-type magic spirit card that was unimaginably difficult to make.
When thousands of [Ghost Butterflies] flew out of just one magic wizard card, Dak almost thought he saw a hallucination.
But the idol was overwhelmed by the countless [Ghost Butterflies]. [Ghost Butterfly] In Legendary, it is formed from the soul of the deceased, and has the nickname of "White Glowing Ghost".
In the outskirts of the dense forest of St. Marian College, there are countless ghost butterflies.
Dak also raises ghost butterflies in the club classroom. The main ability of the ghost butterfly is to absorb magic power.
The [Ghost Butterfly] summoned by Professor Lily also has a similar ability. Among the tens of thousands of [Ghost Butterflies], as long as there are hundreds of them that successfully suck on the body of the god statue, they can suck up that bit of divine power.
But a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
Although the statue lost the ability to release range-type attacks, the wind pressure it created by waving its arms was enough to kill all the [Ghost Butterflies] rushing towards it in an instant.
However, Professor Lily used another special magic card after that.
Under the effect of that magic card, she shared the state with all the [Ghost Butterflies]!
So when she turned herself into a phantom, all the [Ghost Butterflies] also entered the same phantom state.
Thousands of [Ghost Butterflies] immune to physical attacks completely squeezed the statue of Hermes dry!
That statue has lost its last bit of power!
After carefully confirming that it would not move again, Professor Lily immediately excitedly opened the [Ball of Truth], and threw...no, the statue of Hermes into the [Ball of Truth].
Dak didn't really breathe a sigh of relief until seeing the statue of Hermes completely disappear.
This battle with the statue of Hermes is the most difficult battle he has ever experienced.
So much so that at the end of the battle, he was already mentally prepared to give up
Of course, he didn't really give up.
Even if Professor Lily had not been specially summoned by the [Fairy Puppet], he had already filled the [Witch's Wand] with magical power, and the [Fire of Jealousy] released later would make the statue of Hermes realize what [Jealousy] is the power of
"79."
Glancing at the value of [Envy], Dak put the [Witch's Wand] back into the Ball of Truth.
79, is still a value within the safety gate.
Moreover, since it is [jealousy], as long as you continue to maintain your daily life, it will naturally decrease back.
However, when Dak returned the Ball of Truth containing the [Witch's Staff] to his backpack, he suddenly felt extremely fortunate.
Today's action... and even the entire action during this period, are too risky for him!
He found that he hated this kind of "adventure" where he couldn't control everything.
"If possible, I hope this is the last time."
Thinking in his heart, Duck met Oli, Aurora and others who were walking quickly
He didn't let his guard down completely.
The operation is not over yet.
Subduing the statue of Hermes may be just the first step. After all, he hasn't seen Principal Arte yet. Rescuing the principal is their sole purpose.
It's just that the arrival of Professor Lily brought him a complete sense of security. He has never felt like today, how great it is to have Professor Lily here! So, why did Professor Lily emerge from the summoning vortex of [Fairy Puppet]?!!
What did she do to [Fairy Puppet]?
Dak stopped slowly, turned his head to look at Professor Lily who was holding the [Ball of Truth] and was watching excitedly.
But he didn't ask that question, but suddenly said: "Professor Lily, have you come in?"
Professor Lily put away the [Ball of Truth] and said sternly: "It has come in, but not all of them."
Dak frowned, "Who else?"
"Sarah, Bellamy, Sabrina," said Professor Lily, Professor Sarah Hilf of St. Marian's College.
High priest Bellamy Artemis of the moon elves. Bishop Sabrina Melville of the Holy Church. And Professor Lily who came in last.
This is everyone who entered the [Heavenly Court].
And besides Lily, the other three had entered [Heavenly Court] half an hour ago.
It's just that they weren't sent here.
Dake was puzzled: "Why are there only four people? How did they get in?
Professor Lily said: "I won't describe Kazel's research process in detail. In short, they relied on the treasures in their hands to trigger a certain special mechanism, which successfully bypassed the ban on that passage and teleported into the Here... this should be [Heavenly Court], right?"
Duck nodded and said, "It should be."
Professor Lily said: "That's good. Sarah was able to come in because of the [Demeter Dress] she was wearing. Bishop Sabrina Melville relied on the [Golden Key] .In addition, High Priest Bellamy Artemis owns a crown...it should be the crown of the ancient elf king, and it also contains the power of Demeter."
Dak patted his [sword scabbard] and said, "So, my scabbard can also be used as a key to enter here?"
Professor Lily nodded and said: "In theory, yes. But according to Kazel's deduction, you need to let the scabbard absorb the blood of God, so that it can touch the mechanism like Sarah's skirt."
"I see." Duck nodded, "Then, how did you get in?"
Lily smiled, and took out a pitch-black orb from her backpack, and said, "I snatched this from Kazel! But it was also triggered suddenly not long ago."
As she said that, she turned her head and glanced around, and said, "I sensed the breath of the underworld here, which should be the reason why this [Underworld Orb] suddenly triggered."
Duck suddenly said: "I roughly understand. This is the way to enter [Heavenly Court] now." Lily said: "I just entered [Heavenly Court], and I sensed it... By the way, what are you doing? Cynthia ? Did you find her?"
Dak didn't expose her lame ability to change the subject, and said directly: "We haven't found Principal Arte, but we can confirm that this incident has been manipulated by someone behind the scenes. [God of Commerce, Traveler, Thief and Animal Husbandry] Heh Hermes, his consciousness body should be nearby. If you find him, you should be able to find Principal Arte."
Professor Lily said: "Hermes himself? Should be more powerful than his idol?"
Dak said: "Who knows. But in short, he hasn't made a shot until now. There should be some reason."
He was about to say that Hermes might be doing some kind of ritual, but Angore over there suddenly walked over and said, "The pollutants are about to reach this level."
Dak thought for a while, then said, "Go back to the top floor."
After returning to the top floor.
Dak discovered that the enchantment on this layer had long since disappeared.
And there is no black fog and pollutants outside the window on the top floor, so you can basically leave as you want.
But as he said before, if you want to find Principal Arte, you must first find Hermes' consciousness.
Today, there are only eleven statues of the gods in the ceremony venue, one out of twelve.
If Hermes wanted to complete the ceremony, he had to appear before the pollutants flooded here.
Speaking of this, Dak couldn't help but glanced at the [Ball of Truth] in Professor Lily's hand.
Professor Lily tightly held the [Ball of Truth] containing the idol. If Hermes wanted to get the idol back from her hand, he would probably have to pay a high price.
And not long after, Hermes' consciousness really appeared. However, at the same time as he appeared, there was also Principal Cynthia St. Alter
Hermes' face was as gloomy as death.
Principal Arte's face was blissful, and Darke always felt that there was something wrong with the way she looked at him, but he didn't know what the problem was.
But in short, from the difference in expressions between the two sides, it can be seen that Principal Arte should have an advantage in certain things.
And at least they don't have to worry about it, and they will face Hermes' real body again.
The surprise of finding Principal Arte was offset by the disgust of seeing Hermes. Dak's mood was stable, and the expression on his face did not change much.
Hermes had a stern face, and he didn't say a word from the moment he appeared, but it was Principal Arte who spoke throughout the whole process.
She first greeted Duck and the others, then introduced herself to the Holy Cult and the elves, and finally introduced Hermes behind her.
The people present have suffered enough since they were sent up by Hermes to the [Heavenly Court], so their eyes will not be good when they look at him.
Even the [Twin Paladin], who believed in God, stared at him unceremoniously.
However, what the Holy Cult believes in is [Holy] after all, not other gods. But Hermes is a real god after all, before he started to explode gold coins, Dark and others would not be stupid enough to easily fight against him.
What's more, now there is Principal Arte as the endorsement... In short, with Principal Arte coming forward, they always have to give some face.
After everyone calmed down, Principal Arte explained the details of the ceremony.
According to Hermes, he originally didn't want to go through this process, but now that his statue is in the hands of Professor Lily, he can only stand aside like this as an ornamental pet, and bear the sharp eyes of Duck and others .
But admit defeat...he has no other way out!
Following Principal Arte's detailed explanation, Darke and the others finally knew the cause and effect.
First of all, the Porobos twelve gods did escape [Ragnarok], but they also paid an unimaginably huge price for it.
Not to mention the entire Mount Porobos and the entire [Heavenly Court] people, those people who are unwilling to cut off from the gods they believe in are all going to die in [Ragnarok].
So that's not a price.
The real price for the Twelve Heavenly Gods is the divine body and soul, as well as being locked in the [Heavenly Court] and never being able to get out.
The divine body and divine soul are designed to deceive [Ragnarok].
They just separated the consciousness—spiritual consciousness from the divine body and divine soul, and then re-cultivated a new strand of divine consciousness in their own divine body and divine soul.
That ray of consciousness replaced them, became the new twelve gods, and died completely in [Ragnarok].
And they merged with [Heavenly Court] and lowered their status, which successfully escaped [Ragnarok].
But after [Twilight of the Gods], the entire [Heaven] was polluted by pollutants from the abyss, and they who were integrated with [Heaven] naturally also suffered from the pollution of pollutants.
Among the twelve gods, only the authority of Hermes can connect to the [underworld]!
It was the first time that everyone, including Dark, heard that Hermes actually had authority related to the [Underworld].
Although Dak had already seen it from the statue, he didn't confirm this guess until he heard it from Principal Arte himself.
But in the myth Legendary of his previous life, Hermes has actually always been a god related to the underworld.
He is the famous [Underworld Guide] He will help the dead souls to reach the underworld.
In many Greek myths, Hermes is also the only god who can freely enter and exit the underworld besides Hades and Persephone!
After getting this information, a new idea suddenly appeared in Dak's mind.
Earl Stanley Longfellow, who was appointed by the king, and his female guard Gwen, could it be for this reason that they want to come to [Heavenly Court]?
How can an old human being regain his glory overnight? The real reason why the old king was able to "return to the light", and even restore his complexion to the prime of life, is most likely due to the participation of gods
And considering that the time when he regained his glory was after the [Devil King Execution Ceremony] on that day, it can be judged that he is most likely to come into contact with the gods related to the underworld.
And the god of the underworld does have the relevant authority to bring people back to life. In this way, it seemed much more reasonable for him to send Earl Stanley Longfellow and the female guard Gwen to this [Heavenly Court].
However, it is a pity that although they entered the mountain of the gods and even entered the passage leading to the [Heavenly Court], they were blocked at the door in the end, and they were not even able to enter the [Heavenly Court] even a single step.
And because Hermes has authority related to the [underworld], his tolerance to pollutants is higher than that of the other eleven gods.
So thousands of years ago, when the consciousness of the other eleven gods fell asleep one after another because they couldn't bear the pollution, he still kept awake.
During these millennia, he has done a lot of things, including rebuilding [Tower of Endymion], and guiding the pollutants from the entire [Heavenly Court] into [Tower of Endymion]! In other words, [ The Tower of Endymion] is actually a "garbage tower" in essence.
Before [Tower of Endymion] was used as a ceremony venue, [Tower of Endymion] was such a positioning.
The [Heavenly Court] that Dake and others see now is actually the result of cleaning up.
And the creatures in this [Heavenly Court] also began to multiply after that.
To some extent, Hermes can be said to be the re-creator of [Heaven].
After that, he spent day after day alone in the [Heavenly Court].
Finally, on a certain day, he suddenly found a crack in the barrier between [heaven] and [this world].
There was no reason for that crack to appear.
But if you look back at history, you will find that such unreasonable things always happen frequently in certain special periods.
The easiest one to think of is naturally the period of [Resurrection of the Gods]. History is a cycle.
Even gods who have comprehended the laws of heaven and earth seem unable to escape this cycle of reincarnation.
Hermes realized that he may have survived the most difficult time, and another new era for the gods has finally arrived.
He is the god of borders and travelers who cross them.
Although there was only a tiny crack in the barrier between [Heaven] and [World], it was enough for him.
But his consciousness is integrated with [Heavenly Court] like other gods.
This concept is actually the same as "earth bound spirit". He couldn't leave 【Heavenly Court】.
Therefore, he can only rely on his own authority to listen to the voice of the world through the transmission of the wind.
But as that rift gradually grew, and his research on that ability deepened, the information he could obtain from [the present world] and the interference he could cause to the [present world] became greater and greater.
He even developed a few puppets in the [present world], doing some interesting things to pass the time.
But human development exceeded his expectations.
Since the strongest magister named Merlin developed the technology called "magic guide", the development of the human world has entered a path that he cannot see clearly.
But he is also the god of invention and business, born with the ability to create and learn.
Since you can't see the path clearly, then learn and "steal". He began to learn magic techniques, and even occasionally created and perfected some magic techniques, and spread them out in the way he liked.
The reason why human magic technology can flourish so smoothly is absolutely indispensable for his silent contribution behind the scenes.
However, in the past ten years or so, magic technology has suddenly begun to develop explosively, as if a certain key has been opened up, and even he was caught off guard.
At the same time, he discovered that his compatriots—the other eleven gods could barely hold on even in their deep sleep.
A very special idea quickly took shape in his mind. But after careful consideration, he gave up that special idea, and adopted another ritual to awaken and renew the lives of the eleven gods in a more simple way.
That ceremony, that is, the ceremony Dak and others just experienced.
Everything starts here.
As for the fact that Hermes found that he also needed to continue his life, it was after that.
Of course, it is impossible for him to tell Principal Arte some of his other ideas.
When Principal Arte relayed the explanation, of course he didn't say anything.
But the benevolent see benevolence, the wise see wisdom. Smart people don't tell the truth.
Speaking of the development of things here, it is almost the same.
Of course, it is impossible for her to say at this time how Principal Arte met Hermes and how she fought with Hermes after entering the [Heavenly Court].
But in the end, she still revealed her bet with Hermes.
After all, it was a matter closely related to everyone present.
To put it simply, Principal Arte believes that Hermes's ritual plan will not succeed this time, and Hermes himself is naturally on the side that can succeed.
Principal Arte promised that once Hermes' ritual plan is successful, if she can cast a Godhood in the future, she will become Hermes' god.
But if Hermes' ritual plan fails, then Hermes has to implement another plan—that's actually the special idea that Hermes had at the beginning.
Because the existing ritual plan itself is transformed on the basis of that plan.
So when this ritual plan fails, Hermes can adjust it back.
And the core reason why Hermes agreed to this bet is actually because the second plan was his guarantee option from the very beginning!
Hermes is the god of deceit, so the "deception" that follows the trend is naturally not a problem.
Therefore, he is tantamount to whoring a bet made by Principal Arte for nothing. And with this human being, if his first plan fails, he can also let this human being come forward to help him successfully carry out the second plan.
Everything is very complete.
Both sides are your love and my wish.
Principal Arte is actually using that bet to ensure his own safety.
And now, Hermes' first plan failed, the bet between the two parties ended, Principal Arte won, and Hermes was "forced" to carry out the second plan for many months!
"So, what's his second plan?" Duck looked at Hermes and asked.
Principal Arte smiled slightly and said: "Hermes is the god of sports
"Wait." Duck said hastily, "The God of Competition?"
Hermes couldn't help but sneered.
Humans in this era always portray him as a [cunning and cunning traveling merchant], but he actually has a lot of power lines.
In the era of the prosperity of the gods, he has always been the patron saint of various competitive competitions.
But what he didn't expect was that Dak's next sentence was: "Those flames that slipped out of the underworld, are they also his handwriting?"
Hermes, who had been silent since his arrival, suddenly said the first sentence he said after coming here: "No."
Dak looked at him suspiciously, but did not pursue further. [Guide to the Underworld] and [God of Competition].
These two theocratic pedigrees of Hermes are 100% consistent with the source and ability of those [Fires of the Underworld].
Although Hermes said no at the beginning. But he doesn't believe it!
According to Principal Arte, Hermes has done a lot of "interesting" things over the years.
What are those "interesting" things, I'm afraid it's hard to say.
However, after knowing that Hermes possessed the authority of [Competition], Darke immediately had a clearer understanding of the authority that the golem had used. at the same time.
Since Principal Arte specifically mentioned [God of Athletics], it means that Hermes' second plan is related to [Athletics].
But what exactly is the plan related to [Sports] that makes Principal Arte so interested?
Dak's gaze narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but become serious. The same goes for the rest.
Although everyone gathered in one place for various reasons, they all had their own ideas.
With the appearance of Headmaster Alte, several people from the Holy Church and the Elf Clan guessed why St. Marian College was so actively involved in this matter.
But thinking about it now, Dak Dimon wouldn't have appeared here if there wasn't such a reason.
Once Dak Dimon is not here, many of them may lose their lives in this ceremony.
Not to mention, to accomplish the purpose they came here to achieve in the first place.
And now it seems that the purpose of "receiving" or "inheriting" the divine power was originally designed by Hermes.
Although he is still unwilling to face this reality, it seems that this is the only way to go.
They were thinking wildly in their minds, but at this moment they were completely unaware that they and others were witnessing the birth of a new era!
Principal Arte saw that Hermes closed his mouth after just saying a word, and continued: "Hermes' second plan is based on [competition]. He witnessed the magic technology The whole process of development has also witnessed the whole process from the birth to prosperity of Magic Duel, he is a fanatic fan of Magic Duel... well, it doesn't matter."
"Hermes' second plan also requires rituals, and the completion of that plan is tens or hundreds of times more difficult than the first plan, but for the twelve gods of Porobos, what they can get The harvest is also tens or hundreds of times."
"He wants to rely on his own theocracy as the core, and use the consciousness of the twelve gods as sacrifices to create a brand-new, never-before-seen, Shinto
"Shinto?" Duck asked slightly puzzled.
Principal Arte explained: "The so-called Shinto can also be said to be the path to the gods. There are countless paths to the gods in this world, and each path to the gods corresponds to a different lineage of theocracy. The so-called creation of the Shinto , In fact, it is to create a lineage of theocracy. Hermes wants to create a Shinto together with the other eleven gods, and become the god of magic!"
Dak listened very patiently, and finally understood Hermes' second plan after listening.
He didn't have any thoughts about Hermes himself because of this, and most of his attention was focused on the so-called [God of Magic] himself.
Magic technology is a brand-new technology that has never been seen in ancient times. From the current point of view, it itself is a path to godhood, and it definitely has the potential to become a god.
But from the beginning to the end, no one has walked through this so-called path to God.
So everything is just speculation.
If you want to rely on magical technology to create a Godhood, you can only create it yourself. But it is extremely difficult to forge a Godhood with an existing path, let alone create a path by yourself and forge a new Godhood.
Many professors at St. Marian College have actually gone down this path
Therefore, when Professor Kazel, Professor Sylph and others learned that there is still this [sixth ladder], they will be so ecstatic.
That is what they think, the ladder leading to the road to becoming a god. But think about it after you calm down.
You will find that even if the so-called [sixth step] is really refined, it is just a sixth step magic wizard who has some kind of divine power.
What is the relationship between the magic wizard becoming a god and the magister becoming a god?
And Hermes' second plan is to make the magic wizard become a god and the magister become a god, and there will be a relationship.
And his ambition is very big.
He not only wants to create this brand new divine way, but also wants to introduce some other gods into this divine way.
This world has entered the period of [Resurrection of the Gods].
Therefore, any action that can revive the gods will be helped in the dark.
Hermes' plan is also based on this.
He wants to construct a new set of rules in this world through rituals.
Thanks to the pioneering magic technology, this set of rules will not conflict with other rules, avoiding a lot of trouble.
This is a brand new set of dueling rules!
When hearing this, Duck's expression was blank.
This formed a sharp contrast with the dumbfounded looks of the rest of the people around him.
In the final analysis, Hermes' plan is to build a rule system that can achieve the effect of [Fire of the Underworld] without using [Fire of the Underworld]. This made Dak have to wonder, could the existence of [Fire of the Underworld] be his experiment?
When Didi Maxwell opened the gate of the underworld, was he influenced by his will?
Of course it doesn't matter what the reason is.
The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is [Fire of the Underworld]. If every duelist could carry out the so-called "dark duel" without using [Fire of the Underworld], wouldn't the world be in chaos immediately?
Of course, he believed in Principal Arte, and believed that she would not push such a thing forward without careful consideration.
Since this matter is too serious, it cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences at all, so Principal Arte suggested that they simply sit down and discuss it carefully before making a decision.
It happened that Professor Sarah Sylve, High Priest Bellamy Artemis, and Bishop Sabrina Melville were all in the [Heavenly Court], so I simply summoned them to discuss together.
Hermes himself has no objection to this—it is impossible for him to show any "urgent" intentions in front of this group of humans.
And the whole ceremony is actually only the last step.
As long as he took some time to adjust, and then let Dake and the others present the gold medals one by one, the ceremony would be completed immediately.
Until then, they just need to be careful not to let the pollutants flood this top floor—the presence of the pollutants is also part of the ceremony.
But the rate at which the pollutants diffuse upward can be changed back to the original
That way, they'll have more time to discuss the details of the ceremony.
Hermes himself couldn't make a move, but with a little reminder from him, Principal Arte successfully calmed down the riot of pollutants.
And Professor Sarah Sylve, High Priest Bellamy Artemis and Bishop Sabrina Melville were summoned to the top of the tower half an hour later.
Principal Arte placed tables and chairs on the top floor, summoned tea sets, and cooked black tea
Amidst the fragrance of black tea, the atmosphere is a little more relaxed.
The three newly arrived Professor Sylve were still at a loss, so Principal Arte explained some key things in a concise manner.
Dake and the others also took this opportunity to listen to it again.
After listening, Dak found that the details of Hermes' plan were still somewhat different from what he had imagined.
In the duel rules that Hermes wants to build, although the duelist can open a special duel field as if using [Underworld Fire], they will not forcibly plunder the opponent's power like [Underworld Fire] .
In the preparation stage of the duel, both parties to the duel can draw up relevant contracts based on their own wishes, and then have a duel in a fair and just situation.
The content of the contract will be protected by rules, and it can do some things that cannot be done under normal circumstances.
For example, choose one of the opponent's magic cards and take away its right to use
