Volume 2: Empire Chapter 218 Sunshine
The heart in the middle of the altar suddenly stopped beating, the blood also stopped instantly, and everything seemed to be frozen in time.
Then a crisp "click" sound was heard.
The space where the altar was located had countless cracks like broken glass, and the three people were separated by the cracks, but Luke found that Coconut and Storm Kato seemed not to notice these cracks. They stared at the heart in the middle of the altar motionlessly.
Looking more closely, the Coconut and Storm Catalpa are also frozen in time, like a three-dimensional photograph.
Was he under mental attack?
Luke clenched his hands around the steel wings with blazing feathers, opened his Thunder Eyes, and the scene he saw suddenly changed. He found himself standing on the edge of a cliff, with a bottomless black hole in front of him.
Is this the abyss?
Luke leaned out a little to look inside the black hole, and then he saw a person inside the black hole also leaning out, looking at him from below. He couldn't see the other person's face in the dim light, only a pair of bright red eyes emitting a strange light.
In an instant, Luke realized that the person in the black hole was himself.
One step forward can lead to another step into the abyss.
Give up everything and become God in one step!
A strong desire surged from the depths of Luke's heart. He believed that the abyss had the ability to make him a god. Holding the authority of the abyss, he was not bound by any laws or rules, and could do whatever he wanted to release all the suppressed chaotic nature.
Chaos does not exclude order, but order can accommodate chaos. When chaos is strong, order will lie dormant; when order is strong, chaos will hide.
There is no distinction between good and evil, right and wrong.
There is only a thin line between them. Once you step into the abyss, you will have no more worries, just like putting down your butcher knife and becoming a Buddha instantly.
The abyss really thinks highly of me.
The Thunder Eyes allowed Luke to maintain a certain level of rationality when he stared into the abyss. He looked away from the abyss and raised his head to the sky.
The sky was as dark as the abyss, but after Luke looked over, dots of starlight appeared, and in a short time, it formed a dazzling starry sky. The full moon hung on the edge of the Milky Way, and a meteor shower streaked across the sky...
Everything is exactly the same as the starry sky in the spiritual starry sky, but why does Qingkong say that this starry sky is missing something?
Um?
It's indeed missing a star.
The lightning pupil in Luke's right eye shone brightly, and the fire and lightning formed an intensified burst of huge energy. A laser shot out from Luke's eye. The laser hit the starry sky and lit up a new star among the stars.
The brightness of this star increased rapidly from the moment it appeared, its light overshadowing the surrounding stars, and in an instant, half of the stars in the sky were covered by its light. However, the star's increased light still showed no signs of stopping, its brightness was still increasing rapidly, the Milky Way faded and disappeared under its illumination, and the moon gradually disappeared in its strong light.
The sky turned from black to blue, and only one star could be seen in the sky, that was the sun!
Luke looked down at the black hole under his feet again. The other self was gone. Under the sunlight, the darkness retreated to a distance of a hundred meters.
Luke said to the black hole: "I never think that it is a good thing to get power and strength easily. If I am tempted by you, it only means that my mind is flawed. Even if I become a god, I will be an incomplete god.
Not to mention, what I actually became was not decided by me.
It is better to be down-to-earth whether you are a human or a god. You should know how to take each step so as not to fall into the air.
Goodbye, the little bit of energy you leaked out can only affect me to this extent, please show more sincerity next time we meet."
After Luke finished speaking, the scene around him turned back to the altar.
The broken space reorganizes and the cracks disappear like a film played in reverse.
"Sir, except for the heart... there seems to be nothing here that can attack us..."
Coco's voice reached Luke's ears.
In the middle of the altar, the still heart began to beat again , and streams of blood gushed out of the heart tube. Coconut's words followed Luke's previous words, as if there was no space crack, no black hole.
Everything you see seems to be an illusion.
There was no change in the spiritual starry sky either, only the clear sky was lying on the crescent moon, counting the stars intently.
Luke did not disturb the clear sky and silently withdrew from the spiritual starry sky.
The clear sky said to itself, "One more star! Such a simple riddle is really not difficult for you, but I don't know when you can light up this starry sky."
The abyss descended upon the altar, and Luke swung his sword and slashed at the beating heart with a white holy flame. The holy flame swept over the blood, and the high temperature burned the blood into blood powder, which was then purified into white smoke and dissipated.
Luke, Coconut, and Storm Kato were on guard to prevent sudden attacks from some monsters hiding here.
However, the imagined guards did not appear. No guard was as good as the Abyss Apostles, and the Apostles were not here. The Holy Flame struck the heart unhindered. The heart was cut in half, and the color quickly darkened from bright red to black, then shrank and rotted, and finally turned into a pool of thick water.
White wandering souls rose from the blood on the altar. They rose continuously, and when they reached a certain height, they burst and dissipated like bubbles.
When Coconut and Storm Cato saw this, they knelt on one knee and sang songs to commemorate the dead.
Luke was infected and stood with his sword. He lowered his head and chanted the ancient angel language. A white robe attached to his body and a pair of light wings spread out behind him.
The holy light shines and holy songs are sung.
Angel!
Outside the gate of the Abyss Temple, the three Abyss Apostles who were still playing Werewolf turned back together. The black fog inside the gate was getting lighter and dissipating quickly, and waves of sacred singing came out from inside.
This is an angel's hymn, representing that angels have sneaked into the temple.
Moreover, the energy of the abyss is rapidly weakening, and someone has destroyed the altar!
The three apostles did not bother to talk to the Duke of Celtic and quickly turned into black smoke and rushed into the temple.
Duke Celtic also heard the hymn and knew that he had forced out three apostles and most of the Abyss Mages, allowing the angels to take advantage of the opportunity. He didn't know how much damage the Abyss Temple would suffer if it was attacked by the angels, and... why did the angels attack the Abyss Temple?
In order to find out what happened as soon as possible, the Celtic Duke ordered the armored barbarians to stand by, and he himself led a group of barbarian heroes to the Abyss Temple.
An Abyss Mage tried to stop him, but was cut in half by a sword from the barbarian hero who was guarding the Duke.
"This is the Holy Mountain, the Holy Mountain of the Duke of Celtic! Anyone who dares to stop the Duke from inspecting the territory will be put to death!"
Without the Abyss Apostles, the Abyss Mage dared not move rashly. The Barbarian Heroes roughly pushed the Abyss Mage and the Abyss Familiars aside and escorted the Duke of Celtic into the temple.
…
Coconut, who was retreating, ran after Luke. She kept staring at Luke's back and finally couldn't help asking, "Sir, are you...are you an angel?"
"I'm not an angel! Don't ask so many questions. The time is almost up. I must be in prison on time."
Luke ran along the road with Coconut and Storm Cato. The destruction of the altar of the Abyss would definitely attract the attention of the apostles. If they were blocked in the temple, it would be difficult to escape.
The three of them rushed to the prison as quickly as possible, and the spies who arrived earlier took them in.
"Has the mission been accomplished?"
The spy leader was wounded in the abdomen, and although he had been bandaged and treated, he was still bleeding. The number of spies was incomplete, so they must have been sacrificed.
The leader endured the pain and reported to Luke: "Sir, the mission is accomplished. All the weapons of the Abyss have been destroyed. Three brothers died in the battle to cover our retreat. No one is left alive... These are the materials we brought out."
The two spies were carrying four briefcases with papers sticking out from the cracks between the bags.
The wizard is alive too.
Luke gave the spy leader a few bottles of healing potions and looked around the prison.
The consciousness of all the Abyss Mages was still immersed in the abyss, their eyes were bloodshot, and their flesh was twisted and wriggling.
Luke took out his pocket watch to check the time and ordered, "Retreat!"
"Yes, sir!"
The injured spies supported each other and crawled out of the passage. The leader waited for Luke to leave before evacuating, and did not forget to use magic to seal the hole again.
After a while, roars came from the throats of the Abyss Mages in the prison. Their bodies exploded, twisted limbs and tentacles stretched out, and their eyes filled with red bloodshot opened randomly.
In an instant, the prison was filled with violent monsters.
