As a tyrant, it's reasonable for me to snatch the heroine away

But this is the reality after all. If we don’t figure this out, it may affect our future plans.

If we don't figure out what the mastermind behind the scenes wants to take possession of in the abyss, how can we target him?

Chenxing knows better than anyone that his real enemy has never been other countries, but this mysterious man who has been hiding behind the scenes and even in the original game he only appeared in the physical body of other people.

To put it bluntly, the game has a bad ending.

"Are you... sure?"

Finn's words were undoubtedly telling Morning Star that he was willing to believe in Morning Star.

But the situation in the abyss is indeed... not good.

"I am sure that if I can't stick to my ideals and make unhesitating efforts for my own goals, how can I be qualified to say those words to you?"

While Chenxing said these words, he had actually secretly exchanged them for the protection of the blasphemous God.

Courage is necessary, and of course strategy is also necessary, otherwise wouldn't it be just being brave but not wise?

Hearing this, Finn's eyes changed significantly when he looked at Morning Star, even though skeletons don't have eyes.

"In this case......"

A smile appeared on Finn's face, and he slowly raised his hand towards Morning Star, but he was stopped by Lilith just as he made the move.

As a demon, Lilith is still wary of the immortals.

In her opinion, any fool who believes in the God-King is not a good person!

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. If I collapse here, how can I conquer the world?"

Chenxing waved his hand. Finn was stunned by his nonchalant attitude and the special temperament that he exuded naturally.

The Holy Empire is truly... blind!

To think that such a being would be regarded as a villain who would destroy the Kingdom of Grulith.

This is not going to destroy the Kingdom of Grullit, it is clearly going to overthrow this kingdom.

No! It's to overturn the world! !

A wise minister chooses his master to serve, and a wise bird chooses a tree to roost in.

The Holy Empire seems to have...achieved something of itself!

"If you can still be so fearless after witnessing all this, and not be affected by this power, then... in the name of Scholar Finn, I am willing to offer my loyalty to you, His Highness Grulit Morningstar, and bring you the truth you want to verify, even if... I have to exhaust everything!!"

Finn said as his skeleton hand also covered Morningstar's forehead.

The power of the abyss continued to spread, and in an instant, it turned Morning Star's eyes dark.

For a moment, everything around seemed to be splashed with black ink, and reality was being peeled away bit by bit.

Instead, there was...impenetrable darkness and that heart-pounding...feeling of fear.

It's like behind...

Chenxing turned his head subconsciously, and a starry sky-like scene appeared before his eyes. The magnificence of the scene was beyond words.

Chapter 42: Candlelight in the Starry Sky

"Is this... Starry Sky?"

Chenxing looked at the scene in disbelief.

Just like the name of the game, this is the scene in the abyss? A starry sky?

Although it is a starry sky, those stars are completely different from those on Earth.

There is no discernible pattern, more like irregular spots of light. There is no temperature, but instead there is a chill.

It doesn't refer to the coldness in temperature, but a kind of chill...that penetrates the heart!

Looking at the starlight in the distance, Chenxing hesitated for a moment, but still held on to the protection of the God of Blasphemy and walked towards the starlight in the distance.

Unlike the real starry sky, the distance between the starlight and yourself will really shorten as you keep moving forward.

Morning Star can also feel the starlight getting closer and closer to him.

As Morning Star's pace quickened, some outlines seemed to be visible in the distance.

Although the light was very dim, I could still see part of it clearly.

Those starlights seem to be...candles?

Chenxing stopped and bent down. There was an ordinary-looking candle at his feet.

The candlelight was dim, but it could still illuminate the surrounding area. However, the candlelight did not bring warmth, but instead... chill.

At this moment, Chenxing also knew that the heart-wrenching chill came from these candles.

Subconsciously, I stretched out my hand closer to the candlelight, and the coldness became more and more obvious.

You may even hear vague sounds in your ears.

It's not the crazy sound of Cthulhu elements, but more like... the unwillingness of life in this world.

The moment I came into contact with the candle flame, fragmented images kept flashing through my mind.

A person's life is like a revolving lantern!

From infancy to youth, from the greenhouse to war, curses and hatred broke out, even making Chenxing's eyes red, and the bloodshot in his eyes was particularly obvious.

Chen Xing quickly pulled his hand back and his body froze in place.

He turned around slowly, and his breathing became rapid.

Look at the candles and candlelight that cover the sky and stretch as far as the eye can see like an ocean.

This is not the starry sky, this is simply... one soul after another!

All the lives that died in this world!

At this moment, looking at such a scene again, there is no longer any feeling of shock, but rather... creepy.

The power of the abyss comes from... the soul!

Regardless of race, soul of any life.

Chenxing even suspected that these candles were not only the souls of the dead, but also...

The souls of the living Abyss Warlocks who have offered their souls to the God of the Abyss!

Even though Chenxing, as a time traveler who had seen too many strange things in his original world, was still at a loss for what to do when he saw the scene before him.

Perhaps now he could understand what Finn had said.

This is the nature of the abyss, the nature of abyss magic, and even the nature of the God of the abyss.

Rather than being a god who provides protection to people, it is more like... a god of death.

But other Abyss Warlocks, have no one come into contact with this? Or do they know this reality but still...

Just as Chenxing was looking at his surroundings in astonishment, a strange gaze instantly locked onto him.

At this moment, Chen Xing felt that his body seemed unable to move.

Chenxing could feel the murderous intent that was almost materialized.

It's like the look in one's eyes when one's secret is discovered and one wants to kill someone to silence them!

God of the Abyss?

Hasn’t the God of the Abyss been pulled down from the altar?

Or......

Just as Morning Star was about to trigger the protection of the blasphemous God by violently crushing it, the surrounding darkness instantly dissipated.

Finn also appeared in front of them again, along with Lilith, who hurriedly supported Morning Star and looked worried.

Noticing the cold sweat on Chenxing's forehead and the look that made him unable to calm down for a long time, Finn knew that Chenxing saw it, saw the memories that he presented to the other party.

What he had touched in the depths of the abyss...the starry sky.

That magnificent scene was exactly the truth he was pursuing.

"Your Highness, don't be nervous. What I just presented to you was just... my memory!"

Finn reminded softly.

But this answer made Chenxing even more difficult to understand.

Memory? That real feeling? How could the feeling of being locked in that gaze be just someone else's memory!

"You...saw those candles?"

Morningstar stared at Finn with a serious expression.

His intuition told him that this matter was not that simple, at least not as simple as Finn said.

"Candle?"

Sure enough, Finn didn't seem to understand what Morningstar was talking about.

In other words, Finn did not witness the candle that symbolized the soul.

"What did you see in the abyss?"

Morning Star ignored Finn's disagreement and continued to question with a frown.

He had a guess, a very terrifying guess if you think about it carefully.

"The starry sky that represents truth, the immense power of the abyss, and... the gaze of the God of the Abyss!"

It was that tremendous power that made Finn feel so insignificant, and that made him firmly believe that the truth lay there, deep in the starry sky!

He wanted to spy on the end.

However, the godly power and the gaze of the God of the Abyss that is enough to destroy a person's sanity also make the truth difficult to reach.

But Morning Star doesn't look like this...

The kind of expression that subverts a person's cognition did not appear on Chenxing's face.

What appears now is...

"You should be thankful that you are not qualified to touch the starry sky over there..."

Morning Star took a deep breath to calm himself down, then patted Finn on the shoulder and reminded him.

If all the Abyss Warlocks, no, all the natives, saw the same situation as Finn...

Does it mean that he, as a time traveler, is special?

The only one who can see the truth of it all.

The so-called truth, the so-called blessing and gift of the God of the Abyss, is nothing but... imprisonment and exploitation of each soul.

This is the essence of abyssal magic, the essence of the starry sky.

At this moment, Chenxing could also understand the real purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes.

From the beginning to the end, it was not about becoming a god, nor about controlling the power of the abyss, but about controlling the soul candlelight that was as big as the ocean.

The endless soul candles, each one represents a life.

"Your Highness..."

Finn looked at Morning Star in astonishment.

Could it be that... the other party saw a different picture in his own memory?

But this...how is this possible?

"Finn, do you believe in... fate?"

Morningstar asked softly, his back turned to Finn.

In the past, even when he had just traveled to this world, he did not believe in fate or anything special.

But in that moment, the moment he knew that what he and Finn saw was completely different, Morningstar believed it.

Chapter 43: That’s not right. Isn’t this abnormal again?
