Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 636 Door and Key

"When I tried to understand it literally, I found that this could also be the most intuitive analysis of you. I kept this habit when recording the formula. It's not obvious, but it's also a hint. Source, I chose to call you this just for the sake of material classification. I hope you don't mind.

"Omniscience and omnipotence are advantages, but also a threat that brings us closer to Him. I know there is a second world, and the more we come into contact with it, the more likely it is to bring about destruction. I will help you, or the "They" you represent, stabilize the overlap of the two worlds, but this cannot solve the dilemma of the conflict between the two worlds, and the problem of estrangement will continue even as it is dissolved.

"It's done. This is another container, all 'made' according to your requirements - well, it's just an imaginary thing. I spent some time on combining the three extraordinary powers you requested. As long as you merge spirituality with it, you can create a new appearance. I thought it would be more unstable, but you seem to have a way to coordinate them. This makes me very interested...

"Of course, you can also destroy it and release the energy of the coordination between 'Destiny', 'Writer' and 'Gate' through it, but why do that? Ordinary power is unlikely to have a fatal effect, which will make it easier for you to survive, and then you will need a higher level of power to participate in destroying their balance. I certainly don't want this to happen, it's a pity, this is a wonderful result of an experiment.

"...Yes, those are the plans that I discussed with Sasriel. I need to spend more time on the Chaos Sea, and I have a new idea of ​​using 'Imagination'. As for the rest, I will leave it to my children. I trust them very much. Of course, fate will also be a key link. I believe you will have enough good luck.

"I will protect you. I swear to you by the light."

"Hmm? Since you asked me that, if you want a more equal 'deal', then make me a promise - help me protect the new world, protect the barrier that separates the two realities, and don't let our world be destroyed by the oppression of the old world."

"Well, don't look like that. I know this is difficult for you. Just protect yourself, or whatever you want to protect, okay?"

-

The branch of fate scooped up a handful of water from the long river and never put it down again.

Until it becomes inevitable, a crack breaks in the closed world, spreads in the direction predicted by the other pole, and finally opens up.

When the dagger pierced the forehead, no blood appeared on the edge. From the outside, it seemed as if it had merely passed in front of Esther's body before it broke into pieces without any strength. However, Esther still held tightly in her hand a black and gold swirling shadow.

This was a decision that went against common sense, and Esther understood it in her heart. She just didn't want Klein to be influenced by "Merlin". She was afraid that Klein would be shaken.

The new world needs a "Lord of Mysteries". Only in this way can it achieve a balance with the history of the old world and curb the tendency of the two worlds to perish due to fusion during the conflict.

However, Zhou Mingrui is not the only candidate.

Having devoured the "Weaver of Fate", the "Mystery" of the old world used its immortality to leave its spirit in the spiritual world at the moment of the world's destruction and rebirth, sealing it in a place that cannot be reached by the outside world.

When trying to contain the characteristics of "Deceiving Mentor", Esther once awakened Him and touched His confused mind - now she herself is not sure whether it was a coincidence of fate.

But this "mystery" will definitely not have much kindness towards her, because Esther and Dazhibog have determined their goal. Only by destroying the overlapping and collapsing past can the future be stabilized, which is the most suitable development for the new world.

The fate of destruction has begun to flow under the impetus of many forces. The old world and the dream world are just cracks waiting to be filled, at least until the "mystery" awakens.

Esther didn't want to go back even more. She didn't want to be trapped in that gray fog again.

"Of course this is for myself..."

The last half of her sentence was completely drowned out by the violent buzzing sound.

In Esther's palm, the shadow of the dagger was also distorted by the strong impact, until it pried open a small gap in the balance, which was what the "Black Emperor" approach was best at.

White scales with broken circles engraved on them swept over Esther's body, and then quickly fell off like leaves torn by the wind. When each scale exploded, it also shattered a part of the entity that made up her flesh and blood, peeling off her hands and face. The circular starlight in Esther's eyes reappeared, rotating in the opposite direction, like a gear that didn't fit together, struggling to pull up a rusty chain, releasing the soft star color that had been blocked for a long time, light yellow and slightly bright.

Then the dots of light dispersed, turning into silent fireworks that scattered in all directions with long mercury tails. They were not destructive at all, but simply passed through Klein and Amon's bodies gently, rising to a higher, darker sky, like an illusion that only existed on the retina.

The phantom of the dagger also trembled and collapsed, and finally turned into a black and gold phantom of a swirling dragon and snake. It turned around with a silent roar and rushed towards Merlin opposite - the hostility came from a natural rejection.

The split spirituality would naturally disintegrate, and when the circular starlight went out, three soft halos spread out from where she had originally stood.

One of them merged into Klein's chest, completely stopping his steps in his attempt to touch the core of the light.

A darker gray fell towards Amon, causing a little surprise on his face, but in a very short time, the emotional fluctuation disappeared. Amon's right hand opened and closed again, and several Time Worms that stole and devoured the Beyonder's characteristics quickly rolled into the inside of his sleeves.

A "thief" actually returns what he stole? It really doesn't get worse than this.

Another, even brighter ray of starlight quickly rushed towards the spiritual world passage obscured by the gray fog.

As soon as it touched the gray fog, the starlight immediately melted into it like ink in water. The brilliant starlight instantly blew away the gray fog. Correspondingly, the chaotic color behind the spiritual world gap quickly became clear, revealing a bronze table that Klein was very familiar with.

This is a fleeting opportunity.

However, someone else reacted faster than Klein. The black pointed hat floated into the unstable "door". When Amon glanced back, Klein just caught a glimpse of the friendly smile on his face.

The long table and high-backed chairs in front of Amon became clearer and clearer - but what was waiting for him was not the magnificent palace shown in the scene, but the inside of a pale light cocoon.

Before being captured by the light cocoon, Amon's figure disappeared again. The sound of the giant bell rang at the place where "He" disappeared, and a halo spread from Klein's chest, penetrating the door of starlight and carrying Klein into the spirit world before he could act.

Amon had already retreated to his original position. He used the delayed time to successfully escape from the light gate. He looked at the light cocoon that dissipated in the air with annoyance, and after a while he couldn't help laughing.

Turning back and seeing Merlin's thoughtful look, Amon subconsciously spoke out his annoyance: "Is this also an answer from fate?"

Amon didn't expect any response, but Merlin looked at him and smiled helplessly: "No, that was a trap prepared for 'me' or Esther. Who knew you would run into it?"

Merlin turned his head seriously, and when he was about to say something else, Amon disappeared again - it was obvious that Amon didn't want to face the existence that Esther didn't want to face, and he felt even more insecure staying here alone.

Merlin's eyes were gentle, like an elder who saw children playing and playing pranks. He stared at the empty space with regret, as if reviewing everything that had just happened.

"Not in the spirit world, not in the astral world... nor here?"

Merlin twirled his staff, but did not chase after the fleeing Amon. Instead, he turned around and walked towards the gate of the Giant King's Court.

His soliloquy fell into darkness, no one listened:

"Everything returns to oneness. You will eventually have to face the return..."
