I, the final BOSS of the beta test server!

Her frown deepened. "When I designed the Shadow Crystal, I didn't consider this extreme situation... There's no other solution except waiting for the interference of time distortion to disappear."

"but--"

"This level of time distortion..."

"Is it all because of that woman named Gray?"

As she said this, a hint of surprise flashed across Ophelia's wine-red eyes.

"I never expected that 'fate,' a long sequence that existed only in conjecture, could actually manipulate time and fate."

"Even that woman named Gray...she hasn't even reached Legendary yet, but she can already use the skill of time reversal with ease."

Although I didn't see Grey's last time, I still recalled the flashback that spanned ten years.

However, the previous few flashbacks in minutes and hours... were recorded in great detail by Ophelia's rune matrix.

With yourself as the goal, you can jump through timelines, travel through different possibilities, and have almost unlimited opportunities for trial and error...

No matter how you understand it, this kind of ability, even just by looking at the description, is enough to be described as shameless.

Thinking of this, Ophelia couldn't help but glance at the little ferret beside her.

Her movements were not very obvious.

But when Dean Yin noticed Ophelia's gaze, he felt as if his tail was stepped on, and all the soft hair on his body stood up.

"Little Princess, what does that look of yours mean?"

"When you look at me like that, aren't you actually trying to say, 'Look at him, then look at you. We're both unique sequence leaders, but why is his destiny sequence so amazing, while your moon is so worthless? Why is the gap between humans and minks so huge?'"

Looking at Dean Silver who was rushing towards her with anger, Ophelia stretched out her hand calmly.

The next moment, a magnificent alchemical matrix lit up in the void.

The flowing liquid metal gathered into the shape of a mercury hand, which grabbed Dean Yin, who was threateningly dancing in mid-air.

"I'm not, I'm not..."

"but--"

While suppressing the attack of the little ferret, Ophelia also turned her attention again to the air beside her.

A real-time screen appeared silently, and the dark data stream jumped like an arc, turning into a file.

This is the file of the girl named "Gray," who existed only in the echoes of the Sixth Epoch.

Although the video crystal has become ineffective, Ophelia can still roughly outline the image of this girl who has only appeared in the night world with the data saved in the previous database.

"The holder of the unique sequence of long-order "destiny."

"Successor of the Shore Keepers, a supernatural organization in the Sixth Epoch whose mission is to continue civilization."

"At the same time, she seems to have some inexplicable entanglement with Last. The existence of this entanglement is beyond cognition, even spanning different night worlds and different historical reverberations..."

As she browsed Gray's file, Ophelia's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

It's just a description in the archives, there's nothing unusual about it.

It is inevitable that the Night Traveler will come into contact with the characters in the Night World when carrying out the Historical Echoes mission.

There are even some unscrupulous night travelers who put all their points into charm and run to curry favor with others as soon as they enter the night world.

But in the final analysis, he was just a historical figure in the Sixth Epoch Night World.

The Sixth Era has passed away, and a new era has begun... This is an indisputable fact.

According to common sense, this figure from the old era, who was part of the remnants of history, should have long since passed away with the demise of the Sixth Era civilization.

It turned into the dust of history and was buried in the long river of time.

but--

Do not know why.

Ophelia had an inexplicable premonition in her heart.

This girl named "Gray" will become a great threat to her sister.

In fact, it wasn't just his half-sister Wang...

Also including Ophelia herself.

……

There was a brief silence in the Mystery Tower.

The live broadcast screen of the video crystal was still flickering unsteadily in the disturbance of distorted time.

Dean Yin was held in mid-air by the mercury hand. He struggled but couldn't break free, so he simply gave up and gave up resistance.

Since we are watching live broadcast anyway, it doesn’t seem to matter where we watch it.

On the side, Ophelia did not speak a word, but just waited quietly for the disturbance of time to subside.

I don’t know how long it took.

The layers of ripples in the live broadcast screen finally disappeared.

The originally distorted light and shadow are transformed into clear and distinct images.

The figure of the gray-haired girl Gray had disappeared from the light curtain, leaving only Last.

He was walking in an ocean formed by dim blood. The surging illusory waves hit him, but stopped in front of Last and scattered into thousands of broken splashes of water.

This is the place where the body of the fallen ancient god from ages ago remains, also known as the "Abyss of Hell".

And in the abyss, the dim yellow ocean is the divine blood in the body of the god of death.

Even though it has fallen for several epochs... the flow of the divine blood has not ceased, still roaring and running eternally in the abyss.

If an ordinary transcendent entered the Abyss, then just one drop of remaining divine blood would be enough to kill a third or fourth level transcendent.

"To be able to walk freely inside the remains of a god—"

"Last should have obtained the Holy Grail, the prototype of the Kingdom of God."

Looking at the scene on the light screen, Dean Yin couldn't help but squint his eyes.

"It seems that the little girl named Gray has also been dealt with by him."

What Dean Yin said is what is happening in the night world right now.

After obtaining the Death Star Cup and the Holy Grail at the same time.

There is only one last step left on Rast's road to becoming a god.

In the abyss of Hades, that one drop of divine blood was enough to annihilate a transcendent being, but at this moment, it no longer posed a threat to him… Quite the contrary, the illusory sea formed by the divine blood of the god of death actually made Last feel quite friendly.

Thousands of waves surged and fell beside him, as if celebrating the rebirth of a god.

However, Rast did not stop here——

He just walked step by step.

Just like the myth of Moses parting the sea, he crossed the seemingly endless, dim ocean transformed by the blood of the god of death.

I don’t know how long this pace lasted.

Just as Dean Yin, who was watching the live broadcast in the real world, began to yawn.

The seemingly endless dim ocean finally disappeared.

Instead——

It is a crack that is extremely dark and seems to swallow up all the light.

If the dim yellow illusory ocean just now was the blood flowing through the limbs and bones of the remains of the god of death.

Then this dark crack is the location of the heart in the body of the God of Death.

This is the bottom of the underworld and the deepest part of the remains of the god of death.

Staring at the dark crack in front of him, Rast did not hesitate, but took a step forward silently.

next moment--

The surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

It was no longer an illusory ocean, but a dark cave.

It was infinitely dark and vast, and the air was filled with an oppressive, decaying smell that seemed to have been rotting for tens of millions of years.

This is a void place in the abyss of Hades, as if someone had pierced the ancient god's body through the chest, creating a huge pale hole.

That's why the old god of death fell. After all, even if the physical body is intact, if the heart is lost, it is just a corpse with life left.

And at the bottom of the abyss, in the endless darkness—

There were a few emerald green spots of light, becoming the only source of light in the large cavity.

With the help of this light source, we can see the center of the huge cavity at the bottom of the abyss.

That's a tower.

A huge tower.

It stood on the pitch-black ground, and the surrounding rock formations seemed to be split open by a giant weapon. Lava flowed in the cracks, like the red-gold blood of a god.

Standing on the ground and looking up at the towering tower in the center of the big void, Rast looked like a midge illuminated by flames.

The tall tower stood on the dividing line between black and gold, with red-gold lava tides rising and falling beside it. The pitch-black tower body was reflected in the dim glow, like an iron embryo about to be melted.

Whether it was Last himself, or Ophelia and Dean Yin who were watching the live broadcast in the real world through the transmission crystal, they were all looking up at the tower at this moment.

All the exaggerated descriptions seemed pale and powerless at this moment. No one knew how long this giant tower had stood here. Perhaps tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, or perhaps countless epochs...

However, the moment he saw this giant tower, Rast felt from the depths of his soul that some kind of barriers and shackles were loosening and were about to be broken through.

That was his "Tower" sequence long step. The moment he saw the scene in front of him, Rast realized that his sequence long step was touched and he had the opportunity to be promoted... Perhaps with a little consolidation, he could complete the promotion and truly step onto the fifth step, becoming a fifth-level extraordinary person.

Of course, compared to the current night world, after Rast received the Death Star Cup and the Holy Grail, he possessed the power and authority of the God of Death in the underworld... The difference between the fourth and fifth levels of the Tower Sequence will not bring him a decisive increase in combat power.

However, the power that came from the old god of death, the great power that could be mobilized in paradise... was not his own after all, but the power obtained by usurping the authority of the gods, a phantom condensed from the night world.

Although they can be used freely in the night world, once Last leaves the night world, these phantoms will naturally disappear.

And only the long steps of the "Tower" sequence itself belong completely to Rast himself, and is the foundation that he can rely on in any situation.

Such a thought only flashed through my mind.

Rast just quietly gazed at the scenery in front of him. Surrounding the tower were countless bronze altars, standing in a dense forest with the giant tower as the center, like an ancient city made of bronze.

Looking at the tall tower in the center of the bronze city in front of him, Last couldn't help but recall the myth of the Tower of Babel in his previous life.

Legend has it that many people once gathered together in a place called Babylon, where they used burnt stones as bricks and tar as mortar to build a tower that reached the sky.

The sound of hammers echoed there day and night. No matter where lost travelers were in the vast wilderness, they could see the brightly lit tower as long as they looked up.

People tried to use this method to reach the end of the sky, the clouds where the gods lived, but their actions angered the gods in the distant sky.

So the gods cursed people and made them speak different languages.

Eventually, the people who once worked together began to fall apart, leaving only the unfinished ruins of the Tower of Babel in the wasteland, recording the arrogance of the past humans who wanted to conquer the sky and get involved in the realm of God.

The tall tower in front of us is so similar to the Tower of Babel in mythology.

The only difference is that it has already been completed.

In the center of the Bronze City, at the highest point of the giant tower... one can see a girl with long ice-blue hair, eyes tightly closed, falling into a deep sleep.

Her figure was curled up in the frozen dusk. She was originally tall and slender, but now she looked very small after curling up into a ball, just like a sleeping cat.

Axia.

She is the descendant of the god of death, a tiny miracle conceived over a long period of time, and the chosen perfect vessel.

Likewise, Akxia is the key to the last of the three bronze doors in the deep path leading to the underworld.

At this moment, she was sleeping at the bottom of the abyss, at the top of the Tower of Babel.

Quietly, waiting for Rast to pick it up.

"It seems that I was not wrong."

"The Codex has been successfully completed. You have successfully contained the Holy Grail and collected both keys."

An old voice sounded in Rast's ears, with a majesty commensurate with the ancient bronze city and the Tower of Babel before him.
