Chapter 135 ·Aftermath
A few minutes later...
The senior members of the Zhongzhou team and Zhao Yingkong, who was a special observer, held an impromptu meeting in the ruins of the original square. Zhan Lan told all the information she knew, and vaguely expressed some concern.
"...In short, this is the basic situation." She said. "The spiritual power of the Indian team cannot compete with me at all. What supported her to the end was this strong desire for revenge. Obviously, she was very confident in the final arrangement of the captain of the Indian team, and... only It also makes me feel a little strange that I can only use the Sun Gold Sutra to kill Immorton."
In the original plot, Immorton in the first part was not actually killed by the Sun Sutra - the spell recited by Jonathan only took away the mana from him. Then O'Connor penetrated his chest and abdomen with a golden sword. It died, but its body was not devoured by scarabs like the deserter, but turned into amber and was rescued by people from the cult ten years later. What really killed it was the second part - Anubis's pyramid sealed its magic power. Then, betrayed by Ansuna's reincarnation, it fell into the underworld in a state of death.
The power of Anubis can kill it. This is indeed the most simple truth.
But the Sun Golden Sutra...
Zhan Lan shook her head, she didn't understand.
Beside her, Chu Xuan raised his glasses slightly.
"It's Seth." A light flashed on his glasses. "Remember our previous inference. The Indian team found Seth's temple and obtained power from it. But they only dared to get some scraps from it, and would not actively trigger the branch line in the temple - and this shows that, The level of the branch line in the temple is at least B or above, and now, this has been verified."
Zhang Jie revealed that Seth's branch line is larger than the group B level. The Indian team, who arrived in the temple in person, were naturally able to sense the crisis. Forcibly opening a high-level branch in a team battle is undoubtedly asking for death. So they won't do that, but it doesn't mean that they won't treat this untriggered high-level branch as one of the last resorts.
"...In our initial speculation, if we delayed our departure, the Indian team would have a high probability of luring us into Set's temple and trying to force us to trigger this high-level branch. "Jiang Yu, her fingers gently tapped the armor layer on her thigh.
"But we marched towards Hamna Tower..." Zhan Lan showed a look of sudden realization. "They can no longer lead us to the temple of Seth, but they can still use it as a trump card to die together... Sacrifice souls, tear up the contract, Seth's envoy... So that's it, this is in India A trap that will only be triggered when the team itself is destroyed! They activated Seth’s anger by tearing up the contract, but they have already been destroyed, and Seth’s revenge cannot find a target...but the anger in the temple has been activated!”
"A guard." Jiang Yu nodded. "The Indian team is betting on whether the divine punishment that comes last will be a divine punishment or a soul seducer. They are betting on whether the divine punishment of Seth will be huge in scale and will not care about innocent people."
The Indian team gambled on bringing the messenger, and this outcome was neither good nor bad for them. When the Indian team was wiped out, the dead who lost their targets were either recovered by Seth or waited in the temple. Either walk out of the temple and frantically pursue everyone and everything related to the Indian team. The Zhongzhou team that is fighting against the Indian team will naturally become the primary target of attack.
But now, the messenger has not arrived.
"A-level branch line..." Zheng Zha gritted his teeth. Zhan Lan spoke so clearly that even he could understand it.
"It may not be Class A." Jiang Yu shook her head. "We are better than the Indian team, and we are not the ones who signed a contract with Seth and thus are innately restrained."
"That's at least two B-level difficulties." Chu Xuan concluded. "However, we don't necessarily have to deal with Seth's envoy. After all, Immorton has been defeated by us, so as long as we can find a way to kill it, we can naturally end this main line directly without having to face it. against additional adversaries.”
Zhan Lan glanced at the container containing activated yellow sand. Immorton's every move is in the eyes of the reincarnations of the Central Continent team.
"The tombkeeper should be able to provide some help. Also, we can also try to use brute force... or even the Spear of Judgment."
The Spear of Judgment is also known as the Spear of Osiris. Even if Osiris is not as powerful as Anubis, his status is higher. And since Immorton can be resurrected through the Black Book of the Dead, this proves that its curse is governed by the Black Book of the Dead... However, when the giant snake was defeated previously, the Spear of Judgment also hit the sand transformed by Immoton first. On top of the armor, and then hit the Brahma Cobra.
The empirical evidence is already available, and the results of trying again may not be very satisfactory.
"Try it as much as possible. In the original book, it is clear that the only way to kill Immorton is to fall into the abyss... I suspect that we must first deprive it of its mana, and then we can kill it with the help of divine power. And this way If so, we must take some time to get the Golden Sun Scripture in the Temple of Set."
"But the Lord God doesn't restrict when we can get it, right?" Zhan Lan rubbed his temples. "Our main mission is to completely annihilate Immorton... No matter what, we wait here until the plot of the second part is triggered. Then we will use the same method as the second part to completely annihilate it."
"That's not a good idea." Chu Xuan shook his head. "It is not a good thing to delay time endlessly. Moreover, if the main mission of the second part is triggered in advance, the Lord God may adjust it to a level that we cannot accept."
The difficulty increases. If the first part is group C, then the second part will be at least CC, or even B. Coupled with the rule that the difficulty of triggering in advance doubles or even triples... If you want to hit the second part, it is really better to go to the Temple of Set to try it. Maybe, if the time is delayed a little longer, Seth's messenger will fall asleep on his own, thereby eliminating all potential crises.
Jiang Yu glanced at the newcomers who were staying far away and knew nothing about the results of the discussions among the seniors. He knew very well that if the main line of group B level was triggered, at least half of the newcomers who would also be tested would die. And if it is BB level... with the quality shown by this group of people now, Zhao Yingkong may be able to survive, but everyone else, including Qi Tengyi, will die.
"We have to seize the time to deal with this matter. The initiative must be in our hands." Jiang Yu said and concluded. The initial wooden identity plate appeared on his palm. "If it doesn't work, we can also try to see if there are any foreign aids available in the East... We have won this team battle, and now we just have to take the last step. Don't be too aggressive, I don't want any unnecessary damage."
Unless, there is no other way.
"And..." He stretched out his hand, and the Black Book of the Dead, which he originally planned to put into use after returning to the main god's space, appeared in his palm.
"Using the correct method to unlock the scripture can give you the qualification to learn the spells recorded on it. However, this requirement that you must hold the book before returning limits that only one of us can use it in this battle... I translated After taking a look at the content, it seems that they are all ancient Egyptian sacrificial texts. Qi Tengyi may be able to decipher them. Or, Chu Xuan, you may also have done some research on them?"
The Black Book of the Dead was thrown into Chu Xuan's hands... Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows. He opened the pages, browsed briefly, and then closed the book.
"I can recognize it, but I can't read it." Chu Xuan shook his head. This may be true. He did not admit it and no one knew whether he had prepared the spelling method for ancient Egyptian ritual texts in advance. For modern non-related practitioners, it is a very common thing to be able to understand ancient characters but not understand the pronunciation.
"Also, I'm not the right person to use this book," he said. "There's no energy circulating in my body."
"Zheng Zha?" Jiang Yu looked at Zheng Zha, and Chu Xuan also handed him the Black Book of the Dead.
"Uh...me?" Zheng Zha took the book and was stunned for a moment after hearing the Lord God's prompt. Then, he glanced at the ax he placed at his feet. "Isn't it a bit uncoordinated for me to use it...and, Jiang Yu, don't you use it?"
"My true energy is more positive." Jiang Yu explained. "Thunder and lightning, the masculinity of the sky. Even if I use a biological force field to drive it, the energy of the balance attribute will definitely not be as effective as the energy of the dark attribute. Maybe Cheng Xiao can also give it a try?"
Cheng Xiao, who was mentioned, waved his hands on the spot.
"Brother, I use my fists." He moved his hands quickly. "You can at least hold a weapon in one hand and a book in the other. I really can't do it...and the power of the wind dragon in my body doesn't look like it can drive this kind of necromantic system. Something."
It makes sense, so Zhan Lan and Mou Gang don't even need to ask. Not to mention Zhang Jie, who is always idle, and Li Shuaixi, who obviously has no energy circulation.
so……
"Then I will keep it temporarily." Zheng Zha nodded and put away the Black Book of the Dead. "I will ask Qi Tengyi for advice later. And after returning to the main god space, if any of you are interested in ancient Egyptian magic, you can come to me to get it."
"Well, that's good." Jiang Yu turned her gaze away, and Xia, who suddenly disappeared from her side at an unknown moment, came to the meeting venue with another different spell book.
"Atharva Veda", even if the caster of the Indian team dies, this book will still remain. It may be a plot prop similar to the Black Book of the Dead. Unfortunately, when Jiang Yu took it in his hand, he did not hear the Lord God's announcement.
It can be considered a trophy, but the way it is handled needs to be considered.
And when Jiang Yu took the book, some kind of weak intuition made him glance at the sky subconsciously.
The sandstorm has not gone away.
The sandstorm that spread throughout Egypt had some signs of calm before. However, at this moment, it seemed to have intensified further.
This was not something that the beaten-to-death Immorton could do - it had been impossible to do from the start.
And in the thick dust cloud, Jiang Yu seemed to see a huge animal-shaped face in a daze.
Delaying...may not be feasible.
