Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 420 Pig Teammates

Jianhai County, Beldan.

This is a typical resource-based city that rose and fell due to coal mines.

In the world war that just ended, as the only direction attacked by the combined forces of Fusac and Intis, Jianhai County suffered huge losses.At the most superficial level of the war, the second largest city in Loen, Constant City, the capital of Jianhai County, was ravaged by the war. By the time of its fall, more than half of the buildings had collapsed or been destroyed.

As Beldan is an important node on the Fusac people's invasion route, it is not difficult to imagine what this city suffered in the war.

As a result, the war has just ended, and now they are being harmed by the uniqueness of the Judge's path.

It cannot be said that it was a disaster, it can only be said that the fate was bumpy.

Thousands of kilometers separate the journey from Trier to Beldam, but for Russell the process only took him a second.

For an angel, many things are so easy.

But there are exceptions, such as the city in front of us.

Russell stood beside a railway track, one end of which connected the city and the other end leading to the end of the horizon.

Bernadette frowned slightly:

“The city is shutting us out.”

Russell shook his head slightly and said:

"It's not us, it's everyone."

As the uniqueness of activation, '0-02' has a considerable degree of 'self', which makes it instinctively protect itself.And using its own extraordinary ability to create an environment that is favorable to it is undoubtedly the best choice.

As the Black Emperor Path Sequence 0 that was once adjacent to the Judge Path, Russell is no stranger to this set of skills.After all, the Black Emperor path is actually similar to the Judge path. The latter mainly creates rules that are beneficial to itself, while the former uses a rather alternative way to fully distort the existing rules to achieve its goals.

But there is no difference in essence between the two. They are both 'creating' rules.

One is to add new rules based on existing rules, and the other is to directly distort existing rules.

It's different, but not much.

Because whether you add rules or twist them, you can achieve similar effects to some extent.

For example, Extraordinaries of the Black Emperor path can 'use' the rules to keep a certain state longer or end it early, making the rules more beneficial to them. For example, after jumping into the air, they can leave the earth. This state is extended to achieve the effect of 'flying'.

The Judge path can directly add the rules of 'flying' or 'floating' to achieve the purpose of 'flying'.

Therefore, these two approaches can either complement each other or 'cancel' each other, making them the natural enemies of each other.

After all, for the Extraordinaries of other paths, if they want to defeat the Extraordinaries of these two paths, they must first fight against the rules.Between them, the Black Emperor can distort the rules set by the Judge, and the Judge can also invalidate the rules twisted by the Black Emperor by formulating new rules.

Falling in love and killing each other is nothing more than that.

This is the situation now. In order to protect itself, '0-02' chose to distort the entire Beldan rules.

In this way, the city is isolated from the outside world. People inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in.

In this case, even the angels cannot enter the city unless the rules set by '0-02' are broken.

Of course, you can't leave.

The advantage is of course that it can eliminate interference to the greatest extent, but the disadvantage is that it is not concealed enough and the changes are too obvious and easily noticeable.

After all, although Beldan has declined, it is still an important railway node in the Kingdom of Loen. If it suddenly disappears from the map, anyone can tell that something is wrong.Russell was able to learn that '0-02' was in Beldan for this reason.

And now Russell is standing outside Beldan City, facing the same problem as other angels - he first has to find a way to enter the city.

If you can't get into the city, then whatever you do is in vain.

But as the King of Angels on the path of the Black Emperor, how could Russell be blocked by a rule?

Russell's eyes moved slightly, and the Beldan in his eyes was covered by some invisible barrier.

It blocks the entry of all external things and also prevents the departure of internal things.

But when Russell looked at the barrier, the originally airtight barrier was quietly 'corroded' to create a big hole, because the rules had been distorted invisibly - Beldan prohibited all living beings from entering, and also prohibited all living beings from leaving. , except railway lines.

"Follow me closely." Russell turned around and warned.

He didn't understand why Bernadette had to come in person, but he knew that Bernadette must have her reasons for doing so.So as an old father, he had no choice but to believe in his daughter.

Of course, trusting Bernadette doesn't mean that he will just let go.

How can anyone be such a father?
Bernadette followed Russell quietly, and the two entered Beldan City along the railway line.

By the time they entered the city, the eroded holes in the barrier had been repaired, the twisted rules had been repaired, and the city had become isolated again.

Russell didn't deliberately bend the rules to maintain that 'hole', which had no meaning other than consuming his power.

If the city can't restrict him, he can always open another 'hole'.

And if he can't escape the restrictions of the rules, this hole will be repaired sooner or later.

In this case, why does Russell still keep it?
Along the railway line with obvious signs of repair, Russell came to the platform with traces of gunfire.

If it were normal, this place would be crowded with passengers preparing to board the steam train, and it would be very lively.But now it was deserted, no steam trains and no passengers.Looking at the desolate and dead scene of the entire city, there are no traces of any living animals on the streets. Judging from the fallen leaves and dust accumulated on the streets, this has been going on for a long time.

Bernadette said softly:

"I can feel that there are still many living creatures here."

They just don't dare to come out and appear on the street.

Russell turned his gaze thoughtfully to the notice board standing in front of the city hall.

In the center of the notice board, a piece of slightly yellowish white paper covered other notices. It was written in black ink and Loen script on the surface:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am your new consul." Now, I issue three new laws:
“Article [-], without my permission, no living being can leave Beldan, and no outsider can enter Beldan.

"The second rule is that all beings are equal before the law, even angels can be killed by ordinary people.

"Article [-], those who commit the following crimes shall be severely punished, up to the death penalty:
“1 kill;
“2 steal;

“3 Recite the name of the god in its entirety;
“4 Sacrifice to evil gods;

“5 Fraud;

“6 leaks;

"..."

"Ah."

Russell couldn't help laughing. From the strict style of the notice, it was easy to tell that the activation level of '0-02' was not as high as he imagined, and this 'trip' might not be as dangerous as imagined.
-
Above the gray fog, Klein was always observing Russell's movements until he entered Beldan City.

This city contains some kind of weird power, and the barrier it forms can easily block even the prying eyes of gods. But with Russell's strength, even if the Kingdom of Disorder appears in person, Russell can still break that kind of barrier. Barrier, pray to 'The Fool'.

And as long as Klein receives this kind of prayer, he will have a way to get Russell and the others out, and there is no need to worry about safety.

Of course, this is also based on the real emergence of the 'State of Disorder'.After all, it is only confirmed that Beldan is related to the Kingdom of Disorder. It is not yet certain where the Kingdom of Disorder is, nor the degree of activation of the 'Country of Disorder'.

If you only rely on the '0-02' seal, Russell can easily solve it alone.

From Klein's point of view, of course he hopes everything goes well.

And if everything goes well and Russell succeeds in obtaining the uniqueness of the Judge path, then it is basically a certainty that he will become the old one.

Of course, this takes time.

What is lacking most now is time, in Klein's opinion.As long as Russell can obtain this uniqueness, becoming a dual-path true god is better than anything else.Although his control over this uniqueness may not be strong enough, as long as he can use it.

After all, it was only one month in total. You can't expect Russell to become the same person overnight, right?
This is not realistic.

But there is one thing to say, Klein doesn't want Russell to become the old man so soon - because he has an intuition that it is definitely not a good thing to let Russell rush ahead of him.Although it's not like using a loudspeaker to announce to the world that he has become the past, it's probably not that far off.

At least based on Klein's understanding of Russell's character, he could really do such a thing - well, although the reference is Russell's diary, and the current Russell should be better than when he wrote the diary. Much more stable.

But Klein has already formed a preconceived prejudice, and Russell's image in his mind is not easy to change.
-
In the star realm, a stone square floats in the vast void.

Black stone pillars support a magnificent and sacred church. Every pillar, every arch, and every dome here is inlaid with skulls of different races. Most of them are pale in color, and they are densely gathered together, with eyes in their eyes. Hollow and numb.

There are also transparent, twisted, and painful faces on the walls, windows, and doors of the church.

In front of the huge cross, there are rows of black seats with backrests.

No matter how you look at it, this is a magnificent church that is comparable to the headquarters of the major Orthodox churches. The only shortcoming is that no believer will come here to pray.

Adam, who was wearing a simple white robe and a light golden beard, was sitting in the middle of the bench on the left side of the first row. He had a silver cross pendant hanging around his neck. He was holding it in his hand and holding it in front of his forehead.

He lowered his head and closed his eyes, as if he was meditating or praying devoutly.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, slowly opened his eyes, looked up at the high stained glass, and murmured:

"A country of disorder..."

There are three parts of the source material from the outer gods, accounting for one-third of the total. The weight is not insignificant.

But Adam has never thought about these three sefirot. Firstly, because these three sefirot involve the past and the risk is too great.

Secondly, it is because of the six paths corresponding to these three sources, only one belongs to Him.

And this path happens to be the abyss path, and even its owner is a greedy immortal snake-Lakad even wants to eat it.

Adam can be sure that whenever he shows any signs of weakness in battle, Rakad will eat him without hesitation.Even if they are allies now, even if the situation at that time has fallen into a disadvantage, they are about to lose.

So Adam never trusted Racade and never placed his hopes on Racade.

For the 'visionary', He habitually plans everything in advance, and the best case scenario is that everything goes according to plan.And even if there are occasional changes, they will be within His plan and will not exceed His expectations.

But it’s useless if you can only predict what will happen. He also needs to have the ability to respond to various situations at any time.For this, he needs to have enough and reliable allies. The Lord of Steam and the Original Witch both fall into this category, but only Kalad, although he is powerful, is completely unreliable.

If he hadn't really had no choice, Adam wouldn't have chosen Rackard.

In fact, he chose the dark side of the universe at the beginning, but he didn't expect that the dark side of the universe had been swallowed by Rakad.For Adam, who had not yet become a god at the time, cooperation with Larcade was a no-brainer.

But now, Kalad, who only has Sequence 0 strength, has become a burden and cannot be lost.

The price to pay for killing him is too high, but if you continue to cooperate with Rakad, you must always be prepared to be betrayed by him.

This is really a dilemma.

In comparison, the situation on the other side is much better.

The road for the Night Goddess to become the old one is unimpeded. Although the path for the Earth Mother Goddess will be slightly obstructed, it will not bring her the same fatal threat as before.And now, even Russell has embarked on the road to the past, and has even begun to contact the source of "the kingdom of disorder".

This source of energy has always been quite stable, and the corresponding path also has huge potential.Even compared to the Master of Steam's Perfection and Hermit, the Black Emperor and the Inquisitor are even better in potential.

Although Russell is a rising star and his potion digestion is not as stable as the Lord of Steam, it is still unclear who will win in a real fight.

If you want to ensure nothing goes wrong, you must prevent Russell from obtaining the Kingdom of Disorder, or even prevent him from obtaining the unique path to the Judge.Judging from the current situation, it is probably useless to expect a country with disorder.

The Sons of Chaos are even more hopeless. There has been no movement for thousands of years. They are completely incomparable to existences such as the Fallen Mother Goddess. It is as if they don't care about the lost essence at all.

Therefore, if you want to stop Russell, you still have to do it yourself.
