Chapter 1319: The truth of the city of gods
Seeing the skinny old man in front of him, Hao Ren and Lily suddenly screamed and said: "Is it you?!"
The other party is not someone else. It is the mysterious old man who was seen before the people encountered the ancient phantom at the monitoring point!
At that time, the old man said a lot of inexplicable words. However, when Hao Ren and his party wanted to catch up and ask for a clear understanding, he disappeared out of nowhere. Everyone never thought that they would be here, in this case. other side!
The old man sitting in the chair saw Hao Ren and his team without any surprise. He slowly stood up and looked as if he was skinny and weak, but his body was as rock-like as there was no sway: "I saw you in my dreams." Come, welcome you, guests from afar."
"Dream?" Hao Ren repeated the word again. "What we saw before..."
The old man nodded slightly: "This is a world of nightmares. There is no limit to the dream and reality. Don't pursue it carefully."
"You are the Pope?" Karasius finally couldn't help but say, "The Pope I know is His Majesty August VII. I have never seen you! Who are you?"
"You have seen me, you have seen every one of me," facing the question of Karasius, the old man who claimed to be the pope was only slightly smiling, and his words were as mysterious as ever, obscure, and with his words. His appearance has begun to change and become one and another old and middle-aged people with different appearances. His voice has gradually changed, just as countless people have turned into a compound sound. "I am Charles I. I am also Harold III. I am August VII and St. Ivan... I am each of them and all of them... I am the Pope, every Pope you know."
Carac's eyes were rounded, and in the constant changes of the old man, he saw a familiar face—the faces that appeared in the saints' gallery of the iconostasis, and were painted as one-of-a-kind portraits. Hanging on both sides of the corridor, he walked through the corridor from time to time as an assistant bishop, and he was familiar with the face of each pope. He also saw August VII, the last change of the old man, the familiar voice and smile only lasted for a few seconds, but let him shudder from the heart!
"You...you..." Karasius pointed at the old man with trepidation, but could not speak.
"You are a collection of popes of all ages?" Or Hao Ren is familiar with similar situations. He curiously looks at the old man in front of him. "What are the corrupted creatures we encountered in the real world? In Asuman What happened to August VII, who was blocking the road?"
"Rockmanton thought it could easily erode a saint, but he didn't know that the Sanctuary never gave in," the old man said faintly, as if the things he was about to say happened to others. "For faith, We can abandon the flesh and body, we can tear the soul, we can destroy everything we have, and there is only one obsession, and after all, Locke Marton can only corrode. There is only one empty shell. If there is no choice, we would rather choose self-destruction. Come to this world and the chaos of the chaos, and never give in."
Hao Ren vaguely guessed the truth of the matter, but there are still many things that need the other party to explain: "So in the real world, those are just corrupted bodies? Wait a minute... We have a very strange nightmare monster, which claims to be... ”
"Benedict III made a lofty sacrifice in order to spread the news outside," the Pope's collective shook his head gently. "He had already failed. He lost his self-consciousness before the news came out, but we did not expect him to When I met you, I met the head wolf, and he succeeded in conveying some news."
"So you... you have been controlling the situation?" Karasius’s voice trembled a little. "Your Majesty, why didn't you tell me?"
The first half of his sentence was in dialogue with the pope, but the latter half was obviously asking August VII.
"Because Lockerton monitors everyone's dreams, these secrets have always been limited to sleepless dead people," the Pope's collective explained. "The pope was buried in the underground of the iconostasis after the death of the pope. The saints, sages, and living saints were also buried in the mausoleums of the Holy City after their death. Some of these souls were summoned to enter the eternal battlefield of the forgotten abyss, and together with the Warden Corps against Lockerton against the real world. Erosion, and the other part is linked together to become the will of the asylum-seekers..."
Gordon, the king of the mountains, nodded: "There is this."
The Pope's collection nodded to the king of the mountains and continued to say: "After the wardens fell into chaos, we realized the changes in the situation and deduced the worst situation. The early plans started at that time. However, no one thought that Locketon’s speed of getting out of trouble would be so fast. It not only continued to pollute the forgotten abyss, but also penetrated the real world through the polluted warden officers. The bodies of the saints first Being eroded, followed by the soul...
"We realize that this kind of pollution is irreversible, and if it is trapped in the real world and relies on the chaotic war every 100 years to passively resist, then mortals will never be able to fight against the power from the nightmare world, not to say counterattack, this is even called no It is an effective defense.
"However, the door to the forgotten abyss is sealed. If you want to break through it, unless you gain the power of the gods or find the key to the vitality, we don't have these two things...
"But the turnaround occurred when we didn't expect it. It was not appropriate to turn around because it was not only our opportunity, but also the opportunity of Locke Marton. A few months ago, a powerful force. The debris penetrated into time and space and hit the Asoman."
Hao Ren couldn't help but interrupt this: "Wait a minute, can you say that you used the power of the crystal to transfer the city of the gods?!"
The Pope shook his head: "We can't take advantage of the power of the piece, just borrowing the 'oscillation' it triggered. That impact destroyed the function of Asoman, causing a loophole in the closure of Locke Marton, but also for us. Opening a passage, a passage that only the dead can see, so the plan to prepare for the millennium was finally implemented. When the power of Lockerton found August VII, all the time was ripe, so August 7 The world sacrificed its own body and became a member of 'our' as the last member. When Locketon thought it finally succeeded in corrupting and occupying a pope, its connection with the iconic palace became We are chasing its mark, although it is very vigilant, the first time cut off the link with the real world, but we are still coming... to find it **** blood compensation!"
The old pope said here, slightly narrowing his eyes, his face finally revealing some feelings, that is the expression of pride and determination.
The king of the mountains and rivers Gordon was shocked by this grand and decisive plan. He couldn't help but stare at the pope and looked at it for a long time: "You can always be surprised... I didn't expect the mortal to do this step..."
The pope quietly glanced at Gordon: "We are mortals, but mortals are also tempered."
"I admit, I never thought that you can have this kind of power," Gordon shook his head. Although the broad cathedral could accommodate a giant like him, it turned out to be narrow for him. Still a bit awkward, "But you also need to know that Locke Marton is a **** of evil, it can be difficult to deal with - although you have transferred the most powerful armed forces of the Sanctuary and the souls of the saints accumulated over 10,000 years to this world, But these combined forces do not necessarily destroy Locke Marton."
"At least you can beat it and let the world of future generations get peace for at least a thousand years," said the old pope. "We have no choice but to sit still and wait for a blow, so that we die like a sacred person." ”
Such a decisive speech touched everyone present, Lily couldn't help but step forward: "Speak well! Father, you can rest assured that we are here to help!"
The pope nodded. "I know - it seems that the goddess is still sheltering us. In the darkest and most critical time, I sent a strong reinforcement. Just don't know what plans you have?"
Hao Ren stepped forward: "I have the most powerful means of attack. If it is correct, I should be the only one here who can really destroy Locke Marton."
Izak took it: "But we must first find the body of Locke Marton and learn about some of its properties - for example, under what circumstances it can be destroyed, whether it has a hiding or resurrection, How strong is the counterattack force it can mobilize, and what form it is."
"There is still!" Lily also came in. When she talked about this kind of topic, she was all spirited. "If Locke Marton is killed, what will happen to this nightmare world? Let's get it." Prepare your hand, right?"
"What kind of Locke is there, is there a hidden big move? After hanging up, what is the good thing?" The little Elizabeth girl also smashed out, and once she heard it, she knew that in the past month she was playing the game on the giant turtle rock. It is.
"One by one, one by one," Hao Ren quickly waved his hand to calm everyone down and turned to look at the Pope. "First talk about where to kill and how much to kill."
Before the Pope saw this group of people finally summed up a definite question, he nodded slightly: "Beyond the scorched plain, there is a spiral hill at the border of the confused sea. It used to be a node of the prison in Locke Marton, and it is also the first. The collapsed node, now Lockmanton is in that place."
