Chapter 203 ·Victory, cracking, and return
The time has come.
When the Scorpion Emperor faced his thirteenth death, every reincarnation present had a flash of enlightenment in their hearts.
This is it now - this is the last time.
The ancient hero has been transformed into the monster of Anubis. The part that belongs to humans has been completely removed from this scorpion body with the manifestation of divine power.
After the thirteenth death, the laser fire that dropped again failed to be as effective as before. Theoretically, as long as one does not have an S-level bloodline or unlocks the fourth-level gene lock, one can only rely on the blazing bombardment of the defensive rare items, which did not result in the fourteenth killing at this moment.
It's not dead.
It dropped the halberd that symbolized mortal martial arts, and the scorpion-shaped hands turned into chelicerae. The chelicerae he stretched out clamped and tore the laser that was essentially a high-energy beam, just like tearing a piece of water-soaked flesh. Noodle!
This is not something that ordinary things can do... The laser does not have a physical body, and it cannot be touched with limbs at all. Perhaps Chu Xuan's power of faith can reach a similar realm after developing it to an advanced stage. However, that would also require Chu Xuan to open the third-level gene lock, and even vaguely touch the edge of the fourth level.
It is no longer possible for the reincarnators to defeat it.
The only thing that can defeat it is the Spear of Judgment in the hands of the chosen one.
The power of Osiris has been activated, and the blessings of the gods are particularly evident in Jiang Yu's perception at this moment. When he raised the Spear of Judgment, the monster in front of him tore apart the laser beam network. He seemed to... no, not as if, but clearly heard the whispers from the gods. They told him that the time had come. They told him that if he threw this spear into the heart of the Scorpion King, he would be victorious and his enemies would be dead.
It's now.
At this time.
Everything in Jiang Yu's eyes gradually tended to stop at this moment, as if the pause button had been pressed. In his eyes, there is nothing else but the goal he desires.
So, just do it.
It's like...it was decided from the beginning!
Jiang Yu turned around suddenly and threw the spear in his hand.
He didn't exert any extra effort or force on the spear - the target pointed by the spear tip exceeded everyone's expectations!
His goal is - the Central Temple!
'boom--! ! ! ’
The sound was an auditory hallucination in his cognition. At the moment when the fire exploded, the sound waves had no time to reach his ears. And the next moment, endless white light suddenly burst out from the central temple that was blasted into powder!
The light flooded everything.
Light swallows everything.
When pure white light covered Jiang Yu's vision, he did not hear the announcement from the Lord that he had killed his companion.
As he expected.
……………………
time flies.
After a long time, colors and lines appeared in Jiang Yu's eyes again - he focused his sight, and what came into view was an endless golden reed field. A huge wooden sun boat sailed on the field, and one of them, Come to him and stop before his eyes.
Without much hesitation, he jumped lightly and landed on the deck of this wooden sailboat. And a familiar person was waiting for him quietly in the center of the deck.
It was Chu Xuan—Chu Xuan pushed up the frames of his glasses when he saw him.
"You did better than I thought." Chu Xuan's voice remained unchanged from usual. "I thought you could only maintain an unbeaten streak. Theoretically, you should be unable to defeat the last resort."
His words were not very straightforward, but the meaning was clear. There is only one meaning in the words, and that is 'How do you know that the heart of the Scorpion Emperor is the Central Temple'?
Jiang Yu randomly found a railing and leaned against it - as he did so, Xia appeared quietly beside him. Their lives and souls resonated with each other, and wherever he appeared, she would follow.
"It's simple, because no one told us that we need to garrison the Central Temple."
The gods did not tell the reincarnators that they needed to garrison the central temple. The gods only told the reincarnations that the content of the trial was to defeat the Scorpion King. It is the mission of the Lord God to inform the reincarnations that they must defeat the Scorpion Emperor before the central temple is captured. But the Lord God only said 'cannot be captured', but did not say that it cannot be destroyed.
A head-on attack is obviously also a solution - beating the Scorpion King to death, who has completely become an Anubis monster, will naturally end this battlefield. However, the laser cannon array is already the strongest output method for the reincarnations at the moment. No carbon-based creature can resist it. When it loses its effectiveness, the reincarnators naturally have only two mutually exclusive directions: exploding seeds to cheat and changing their coping methods.
Jiang Yu really wanted to choose the former, but considering the subsequent variables, he changed his approach.
"Besides, Anubis is too impatient." Jiang Yu raised a finger and pointed under the reed field. "You asked Zhao Yingkong to bring me some information. The battlefield in Thebes City is the domain of Anubis. The power of the Nine Pillar God is limited to the interior of the great temple, and at the last moment, the Nine Pillar God will The less likely it is to convey intelligence to us.”
This is something that has been established before - the protection of the gods is almost dormant after entering the Pyramid of Anubis. What's more important is the 'suppression mechanism' mentioned by the Lord God.
The power of the reincarnators is indeed suppressed by the Lord God. But the Lord God will suppress it because it needs to fit in with the original plot and the trial mechanism of Anubis, rather than adding difficulty to the reincarnation without any clue. And since the Lord God's suppression has always been effective, it naturally means that Anubis's power has occupied a considerable amount of weight. Moreover, the alignments among the gods are clear. Nine Pillars and Anubis belong to two different parties in this trial and gamble.
Therefore, at the last moment, the moment the Spear of Judgment is activated. What was whispering next to Jiang Yu could only be the influence of Anubis.
And now... Jiang Yu took a breath, and he clearly felt his body and body at this moment. The suppression of the Lord God and the trial mechanism of Anubis have been erased. He has returned to his prime and is stronger than ever before.
Chu Xuan nodded, then shook it again.
"I didn't ask Zhao Yingkong to inform you."
"You gave in." Jiang Yu waved her hand. "You have interacted with her, and you naturally know any reaction she will have in the follow-up. You must know that she will come to me and say these things, and since you did not stop it, that is what you planned to do. Or rather ...You designed this as some kind of branch plan?”
Jiang Yu's gaze deviated, and he looked at Chu Xuan's chest - there was a huge blood hole there, and a heart was beating rhythmically there. In Chu Xuan's hand, he held a glowing feather.
In Egyptian mythology, the heart of the deceased was weighed on a scale. If it is heavier than a feather, it will be knocked down to hell. On the contrary, you can go to the next life and enjoy eternal prosperity.
The task of weighing is the responsibility of Anubis in mythology. But now, the feather at the other end of the scale appeared in Chu Xuan's hand.
So... in this current trial, what should be placed on the other end of the scale to be worthy of serving as the corresponding weight for the trialist's soul?
"I guess you didn't plan to stay here for so long in the first place. Some unexpected situations occurred that prevented you from returning to the battlefield in Thebes City in time. And Zhao Yingkong is the timed trigger mechanism you prepared for it. If you If I don't turn back within the appropriate time, she will bring me the information I need. And the reason why I don't say it directly but need to hint in an indirect way is because the entire Theban battlefield is in A Under Nubis’ surveillance?”
Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses and turned his gaze slightly.
"Can you tell me what the specific situation is?" Jiang Yu asked, feeling the slight pause of the ship under his feet.
"It's Seth." Chu Xuan did not hide this matter. "This trial is a bet between Anubis and the Nine Pillars, and it is also an upgrade ceremony for Anubis. The soul of the ancient hero is used as a bet. If he succeeds, he can escape from the Nine Pillars. An embarrassing position. To reach a more powerful level - however, if you want to become stronger, you need to consume resources."
"The protection given to us by the Nine Pillars God is the qualifications needed for his advancement."
For a deity, wanting to reach a higher place. Or obtain extremely precious treasures of heaven and earth. Either obtain a higher level of powerful divine power. Although there is no shortage of treasures in this world, Anubis obviously has not touched it. Therefore, he used the soul of Momoyos in exchange for the gods, in exchange for the possibility of promotion... and the qualifications.
Therefore, the protection given to reincarnators by Nine Pillar Gods is only temporary protection. Because if the reincarnations are defeated, Anubis can directly take away the protection from the reincarnations, and this means that the reincarnations and him are not in a completely hostile position.
But Seth did something... Among the Nine Pillars, only Seth gave eternal protection to the reincarnators. And this means that the part of the divine power that Seth gave up has become part of the reincarnations. And even if Anubis finally wins this trial bet, his rewards will have to be obtained from the corpses of the reincarnators.
Therefore, Chu Xuan, who should have returned to the living world long ago, was blocked in this underworld.
"So... is it Seth's fault that we are in such trouble this time?"
The person who spoke was Zheng Zha. Jiang Yu turned her head and saw that this guy appeared in another position on the deck after a momentary pause.
When he saw Jiang Yu, he complained loudly: "And Jiang Yu, you were too sudden. Do you know that when you threw the spear, I was shocked!"
Jiang Yu originally planned to defend himself, but he finally decided to surrender.
"Sorry," he said, "but Anubis is paying attention to the entire field, and I think it's better to be more careful."
"Didn't you ever think that your guess would be wrong?" This time it was Zhan Lan, who appeared on the roof of the ship with her chin in her hands. "When the spear was thrown, I thought I was going to die. It's not like you don't know how powerful the Spear of Judgment is."
"I have controlled the intensity well. Even if it explodes, it will only explode the central temple. And... I can sense it." Jiang Yu waved his hand and revealed the most important piece of information for his action logic.
Amshe Oasis, under the Pyramid of Death.
That heart of darkness that is connected to the earth and the sky. And the heart that belonged to the Scorpion King, before Jiang Yu stepped into the Pyramid of Anubis, had already been quietly pried away a small part of its power by his resonance method!
The sky and the earth are a whole. Before entering the pyramid, Jiang Yu had already determined that the entire Amshe Oasis was part of the structure of the Scorpion King - it was not an independent individual, but an environment, a behemoth. And since it has turned into Anubis's trial battlefield, the form of the heart may not be the shape of the heart that ordinary people recognize!
Jiang Yu didn't know what it would become, but Jiang Yu could sense it.
When the Scorpion King completely transformed into the monster of Anubis, the feeling of the heart appeared on every brick and stone in the entire central temple in Jiang Yu's awareness.
The inference is correct, only the Scorpion King has completely transformed into Anubis' monster. Only then can it be killed by the Spear of Judgment. Now, the only difference is where the monster's vital point is.
And Jiang Yu trusted her own feelings, many supporting evidences, and Chu Xuan's judgment. So he made a decision. And the result... was that he arrived at this place.
Everything is clear.
The temple has been shattered, the mission has not failed, and Momo Yousi's soul has appeared in Chu Xuan's hands.
Chu Xuan did not say what he encountered during his journey to the underworld, how many powerful guards he met, and how many puzzling puzzles he solved. Matching wits and courage with many servants of Anubis. Because the end result is that he is here, with the sun's ship at his feet, and not even a trace of the pursuers behind him.
So……
"So...where are we going?" Zheng Zha rubbed his hands, feeling the power returning to full strength in his body. "Everyone is already on this ship now. According to Egyptian mythology, is it going to carry us to the afterlife? Is there anything else to fight?"
His hands were itchy.
After the suppressed power is restored, there is always a certain amount of energy that needs to be expended.
And Chu Xuan didn't say anything, he just raised his hand and pointed into the distance.
A tall jackal-headed warrior stood there - he was not Anubis, but he had the power of Anubis. It is also the last obstacle for the reincarnations. Before that, Chu Xuan had been blocked here, unable to return from the underworld to the real world.
There is a huge portal behind it - it is the door to the afterlife and the passage back to the present world.
So, the solar boat crashed into it.
……………………
——[The main mission is completed, all members will get 2 B-level side plots and 6,000 reward points. 】
When the reincarnations returned to the real world neatly, what came into view was a dilapidated scene - the spear of judgment thrown by Jiang Yu was now firmly inserted into the huge statue of Anubis in the center of the pyramid. above. The material of the statue itself then changed, turning into the Scorpion King in the form of a scorpion.
It's dead.
Chu Xuan stretched out his hand and released the feather in his hand. It floated into the sky, accompanied by a 'thank you' in ancient Egyptian, and then drifted away into the distance.
The ground immediately shook and the temple began to collapse - unlike Seth who couldn't afford it, Anubis did not take any further additional measures after his failure. And when the protection given by the Nine Pillar Gods gradually dissipated, the reincarnators also returned to the original point of descent.
The legendary return journey of gods and ghosts is over.
Along with the brilliance of the teleportation, the voice of the Lord God's settlement also echoed in the ears of the reincarnators.
