Collectors of Beauty World

Chapter 129 What Do I Want?
Everyone thinks that the magic box is the key to hell and the world.Even Lu Xiao thought so at the first time.

But he had some doubts about this.And this confusion lasted until Spencer broke the magic box and opened the door.Lu Xiao realized that things seemed not to be what he imagined.

First, Spencer was able to open the door because he obeyed an ancient law.Destroy all the magic boxes to open the door.

But Lu Xiao knew that that guy didn't destroy all the magic boxes at all.Because the last magic box is in your own hands.

But Spencer still successfully opened the door and became a demigod.This seems unreasonable, but what if everyone misunderstood the function of the magic box from the beginning?
Christie was the first to confirm the problem.Because Christie didn't break the magic box like Spencer did.Instead, he turned the magic box and restored it to its final form.

Then the door appeared.

This is where things get interesting.Spencer opens the door by breaking the magic box, and Christie opens the door by turning the magic box.

The method is completely different, but the result is the same.Why is this?

That's because the magic box is just the introduction.The essential effect of this thing is to open the door.

But opening the door comes at a cost.If the user is not qualified, it will only open the door to hell.And if the user qualifications are sufficient.No matter what method you use, you can open the door.

What Philippe Lemarchand built back then was never a magic box linking to hell.It is the link to the door of the soul.

And meeting the key conditions to open the door to the soul is not to destroy all the magic boxes, or to turn the magic boxes into their final form.Because Tiffany had turned the magic box into its final form more than once.But instead of opening the door to the soul, it opened the door to hell.

Meeting the conditions for opening the door comes from the user's heart.That requires the user to be firm enough and confident enough.Believe that you have fulfilled the conditions for opening the door.

Spencer firmly believes that destroying all the magic boxes will open the door.So, when he accomplished this goal, the door opened.

This kind of belief comes from the recognition deep in one's heart and is a recognition of oneself.

In this respect, Spencer is even better than Christie.This guy's heart is as solid as a rock.After the door opens, go through quickly.And received unprecedented super strengthening.

And Christie seemed to be stumbling a bit.Fortunately, she finally succeeded in comprehending the true meaning of the Soul Gate at the last moment.And completed his own transformation.

After returning, Christie's aura was explosive.Although she still looks like an ordinary woman.But she was different inside.

It’s different from Spencer’s way of believing in becoming a god.Christie's obsession is to solve all this.

Under this obsession, the first-generation high priest was completely powerless to fight back.

Because Christie has the ability to dispel its power.

This discovery made the other party completely panic.He really didn't expect that someone would pass through the door of the soul.What you are looking for is not strength, power, or status.Instead, it was completely directed at him.

In Christie's mind, the source of everything is caused by these beings who steal Leviathan's power.She needs to clean these guys up once and for all.Therefore, her power characteristics are inherently suppressive to existences like the high priest.

And just when Christie was having a heated fight with the high priest.Lu Xiao, who had been frozen and seemed completely lifeless, suddenly started to move again.

The attack of the power of hell against the soul is naturally very terrifying.Therefore, Lu Xiao immediately disconnected the link when he was attacked.

Whenever this happens, he must thank Lao Ma.This super clone that was built to deal with Martin was really useful.

Every time there is an important event.Lu Xiao never really goes into battle.Instead, he uses a stand-in puppet to fight in his place.

On the other hand, he stayed far away and became a true behind-the-scenes figure.

If it were ice magic in the true sense, his clone just now might not be able to withstand it.But helplessly, the clone is just a clone.When disconnected, it is just dead matter.

The power of hell has an impact on this thing, but not much.

And with the appearance of Christie, the high priest was tortured to death.Lu Xiao also took the opportunity to return again.

He has been holding on until now before finally taking action.It's because there is important information that I haven't gotten yet.

That is the complete version of the Selluent rune that the high priest uses as his trump card.This thing is the key to controlling Leviathan.

And the person who studied this thing the most was naturally the first-generation high priest.Even Spencer, who was arrogant for a while, eventually fell under this trump card.

Lu Xiao tried his best, risking the destruction of his clone, and faked his death in front of the other party.Just to disarm him and use the full version of the runes.

In fact, he had already made plans to consume this clone at that time.After all, in comparison, Leviathan's level is really several levels higher.

What was surprising was that the high priest's final killing move was aimed at the soul.It has little damage to the dead creature, the clone.Let him escape disaster.

At this time, Lu Xiao controlled the clone from a distance, floating below Leviathan, carefully recording the runes assembled by the high priest.

The Selluent runes reveal much.Lu Xiao had also studied it before.He quickly analyzed the runes in front of him until Leviathan in space came into contact with the runes.

The next second, countless runes flowed backwards.Covered on the surface of Leviathan.

A faint light emitted from the surface of the huge silver-black metal rhombus.The runes seemed to activate something, triggering a chain reaction.

Countless runes lit up and went out on Leviathan's body.After a minute or so of flashing.Leviathan started to move.

From Lu Xiao's perspective, it began to deform.

You know, among all the magic boxes, there is a kind of magic box that is very special.That was the kind of metal magic box that Lu Xiao collected.

This kind of magic box is completely different from the style of Le Marchand, the early toymaker.It is a cold post-modern art style.

At the same time, if this metal magic box is continuously rotated and combined into its final form, it will actually be the rhombus shape of Leviathan.These magic boxes that appeared later were originally modeled after Leviathan.

Leviathan in the sky is constantly shrinking in size as it changes.

This astonishing scene even attracted Christie and the first-generation high priest who were fighting.However, at this time, the high priest has taken in more air and less out.

Although there is immortality.But Christie's ability restrained him in terms of attributes.This kind of restraint can be considered life-threatening.The power of the high priest was completely unable to be exerted.

In fact, Christie is not that powerful.At least in terms of combat power on paper, she was about the same as Lu Xiao.

And Lu Xiao is far inferior to the first generation high priest.

But it’s like everything is interdependent.Her power was only able to restrain the high priest.

Leviathan is getting smaller and smaller.From the beginning, it was as huge as a continent that could not be described in words.

With each transformation, there will be a huge reduction in body size.

After seven rounds of transformation, an ordinary-looking metal magic box appeared in front of him.Lu Xiao reached out and touched the magic box.The system responded this time.

'The Sealed Box, this is a magic box that seals unknown power.Note, don't try to open it without adequate preparation. '

Under normal circumstances, Lu Xiao can gain absolute control over the collected items.

Even the original Book of Death was a special item with self-awareness.Lu Xiao can also use it casually.

But this time, not only was there no grade classification for the collection, but there was even a special reminder not to open it casually.

Of course, in fact, Lu Xiao had no idea how to open this thing.

Just look at what this thing looks like when unfolded.If you look at the power it spreads to shape the entire law of hell, you will know that the power of this thing is probably beyond your imagination.

But no matter what, the most valuable thing in the world has been acquired.And the benefits are beyond your imagination.

And after Leviathan was completely contained.The first-generation high priest on the other side also instantly succumbed.

It has stayed in hell, or in the breath of Leviathan, for too long.It has been so long that it has even been assimilated by Leviathan's breath.

The moment Leviathan disappeared, it seemed as if one of its bones had been ripped out.What he had been seeking for many years fell into the hands of his enemies at the last moment.This kind of blow caused him to completely lose the strength and will to resist.

Lu Xiao fell from the sky and watched Christie turn the high priest's body into ashes.

So far, it's pretty much over.It’s just that the power of hell escaping on the African continent will not dissipate.

After all, Leviathan's true form has arrived here.The power of hell has completely eroded this land.

If nothing else, all the creatures on this land have been infected.They will gradually transform and eventually become the monsters wandering in hell.

This effect may last for hundreds, even thousands of years.

Christie looked at Lu Xiao falling from the sky.He reached out and handed something out.It was the last magic box in the world that Lu Xiao had given her before.

Lu Xiao took the magic box.Then the magic box was turned in front of Christie.

This time, there is no gate to hell.Until Lu Xiao restored the entire magic box to Leviathan's three-dimensional diamond shape.

His whole movement paused slightly.

At this time, a door appeared in front of Lu Xiao.The door shimmers with golden light.

As a visitor from a foreign land, Lu Xiao even knew the rules of this world's skills.But don’t dare to use it easily.

After all, when the original Le Marchand created this skill, he set up punitive measures.

Those who are not qualified can only open the door to hell.But now, the threat of hell is no longer there.After Leviathan left, Hell completely became an empty shell.

There are also a lot of monsters wandering around.But there is no longer a big threat to the human world and Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao walked in the door.I found myself in a familiar room.It was just familiar. In fact, he was sure that he had never seen the same room before.

It's just that many elements of this room are related to his past and present lives.That's why there is this familiar feeling.

In this familiar room, Lu Xiao saw a familiar person.This is a real sense of familiarity.Because that person is himself, just the person he was in his previous life.

A short and thin young man.He stood there, looking at Lu Xiao with a strange look.

"It's time," said my past self.

"What?" Lu Xiao didn't know why.

"It's time to make a choice."

"I don't understand, can I just walk over?"

"No, you need to make a choice. Everyone who walks through this door will face a choice. This choice will determine what kind of existence you become after you walk out.

A good person, a bad person, powerful, wise, or become a god.This is a unique opportunity.Just make the choice and you can achieve it. "

"I want to be an omniscient, omnipotent god."

"Okay, but do you know what it will cost?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't ask this kind of question. And don't think that I am an NPC or something like that. Lu Xiao, I am you. You know everything I know.

You have learned countless forbidden knowledge in Brakebills, and you know very well what it will cost to go directly from a human to an omniscient and omnipotent god.

You understand better that the so-called gods are only the gods of this world.Because it is the law of this world to gain skills through the door of the soul. "

Just like what my previous life said.The other party knew everything Lu Xiao knew.Even the inferences that he had hidden in his heart, but had never been spoken, were spoken out directly.

"You want me to kill you?"

"Haha, you still don't understand. Lu Xiao, I am you. I am part of your soul. You are not killing me, but killing yourself."

Lu Xiao fell silent.He said that becoming the all-knowing and all-powerful God was just a temptation.In fact, he knew this was absolutely impossible.

But he ignored that this is a spiritual journey, and there is no temptation here.Everything is his true thoughts deep in his heart.

And this spiritual journey comes with a price.He didn't know what price Christie and Spencer paid.

But he already understood what he was facing.Having memories of past lives, I am actually bound by this particularity to a certain extent.

The memories of the previous life are intertwined with the memories of this life, but there is no real integration.Just like what he said in front of me.He is also Lu Xiao, at least part of him.

What does Lu Xiao want?
In his previous life, he wanted a different life.

In this life, Lu Xiao wants to investigate the secrets hidden behind the world and prevent the looming crisis in the future.

This is the real choice he faces! !
