Chapter 514 Necessary Sacrifice
Backlund in December has gradually entered winter. When it was close to four or five o'clock, the sky was completely dark. Waves of cold air began to rage back and forth in the streets and alleys. Pedestrians on the road returned home early and began to prepare dinner.
The cold wind blew over the treetops and penetrated through the gaps in the windows that had not been closed tightly.
Hastur and Adam sat across a desk, and the 008 that Adam needed was placed on the table.
"In my original prediction, it should have stayed with Ince Zangwill, because I helped him exchange it from the night for 008."
"Ince Zangwill was destined to be unfortunate, so he met you. Before I had time to make a move, he met you again because of 008's active intervention, causing 008 to fall into your hands."
"I have to say that 008 is indeed smarter than Ince Zangwill. It knows that it should find a suitable owner for itself, and it has indeed successfully escaped from its own predicament."
"In order to find out what happened specifically, I went to Southville County where you are, but I didn't expect to meet to an incarnation of a high-dimensional overwatcher. ”
“Since then, I understand your origins, stars.”
“The Night and I noticed you at the same time, although you were not so outstanding at that time.”
“The Night and I had a disagreement on how to deal with you. He thought that the world no longer needed so many variables, while I thought the more chaotic the world, the better.”
“Especially since you awakened the ancient phoenix that had been sleeping for who knows how many years, and successfully took away the power of the God of Death before the Night, he could no longer tolerate you.”
Adam slowly recounted what happened in the past, and his tone was as gentle as a distant lullaby.
It seemed that no story or experience in the world could cause any ripples in his heart.
"In the southern continent, in the battle of temptation from the gods, the foolish god of war fell first, and I and Heiye also took the opportunity to explore some of the power of the stars."
"The barrier originally blocked the outer gods in the starry sky. Since there is a barrier, there is naturally a way to bypass the barrier. The stars have such power."
"Heiye's thoughts have also changed. He no longer wants to target you, so as not to force you to attract the gods of the starry sky to enter the world and bring the end of the world in advance."
"You who control such power naturally have the capital to confront the gods."
Adam stopped here again, his eyes fell on 008, and smiled: "Speaking of It's a bit far away."
"If someone happens to take away your key thing when you are about to become a god, will you also find a way to solve the problem? "
"Allowing you to grow up to this day, I came to take back 008, this is already my biggest concession. "
"I have foreseen the tide of the times. I don't have much time, and you don't have many choices. "
"This is not a threat, but a frank talk. This may avoid unnecessary disputes. After all, I am also looking forward to the day when the stars return to the starry sky. "
Even after saying such words, Adam's mood is still very stable and he always keeps smiling.
Hasta understands Adam's words. If he holds 008 again, he will do everything he can to take it back, even if he will burn himself and attract the Outer Gods outside the starry sky.
Because if he continues to grow, Adam will not have the confidence to threaten him.
So, he must talk to him openly during this time period.
Now he can only protect himself at most, and he seriously lacks the power to protect others.
If he left Backlund with 008 and disappeared, Hastur had no doubt about how terrible Adam's madness would be.
"Although you are very honest, this is still a threat." Hastur said slowly, "No matter how many beautiful words you say, it can't change the fact that the biggest reliance you have on this trip is my humanity that I can't completely abandon."
"You are still young, and the weaknesses of human nature still exist in you." Adam whispered: "The stars are ancient, and one day He will wake up from his slumber. I won't bet on this low-probability event."
It turns out that what Adam is most worried about is that the stars will wake up in his body. The stars without humanity will never give Adam such a key thing as 008.
Adam will completely lose 008. Even if He has other ways to become a god, He can't go perfectly. For Him who has been planning for a long time, this is absolutely unacceptable.
Hastur pondered Adam's words in his heart, and was also very curious. Did the ancient stars really exist?
Will He really wake up in his body?
What about the King in Yellow?
He really had too many questions, but at this moment he didn't have much time to think slowly.
"I can give you this extraordinary writer's characteristics, but there is no free trade in this world."
"It seems that we have reached a good consensus in our conversation."
Adam looked at the distance with clear eyes like a child, and Paulie Dellau, who was hiding in the church, was taken into this study out of thin air.
Paulie Dellau was surprised at first, and when he saw Adam was here, the vigilance and tension on his face slowly dissipated.
"Respected Angel of Fantasy, do you have any instructions?"
Paulie Dellau bowed to Adam, respectful and obedient.
What he believed in was the omniscient and omnipotent Creator, and the fantasy angel Adam was not only a powerful king of angels, but also the son of the Creator.
"I need you to do something for me."
"Please give me your instructions, Lord Fantasy Angel."
"I need you to sacrifice your life." Adam still maintained a gentle smile on his face, "This is a necessary sacrifice."
"ah!"
Pauli Dellaw was so frightened that he took half a step back, and his originally rosy face instantly turned pale.
He obviously came to seek shelter from this Utopian Angel because he wanted to take refuge, but he didn't expect that the person who was supposed to protect him turned out to be the one who wanted to kill him.
The frightened Paulie Dellaw only then discovered that there was a young man sitting behind the desk. He looked to be in his early twenties and was very handsome.
"I, I..." The expression on Pauli Dellaw's face changed drastically for a while, and finally he said with a helpless smile: "I am willing to give everything I have for the awakening of the omniscient and omnipotent Creator."
Having seen Adam's methods before, he knew very well that when Adam said this, he was not discussing with himself, but a notice.
No matter how reluctant he is, he can't disobey a king of angels.
"Very well, the Lord will remember your contribution."
Adam nodded, picked up the cross hanging on his chest with his right hand, closed his eyes and said a prayer. In front of him, Pauli Dellaw's body began to decompose for no apparent reason, and in the end, only the extraordinary characteristics of the Sequence 3 Dreamweaver were left, flickering with hazy light.
"Not enough." Hastur just stared at Adam quietly.
A Sequence 3 Dream Weaver's extraordinary characteristics are exchanged for a Sequence 1 Writer's extraordinary characteristics. This is too disparate.
"This is just a meeting gift." There was no surprise on Adam's face.
"If he hears this, he will probably regret his devout belief just now."
"He has never had faith. The reason why he didn't escape just now is because he knew that he would never leave here alive."
"Necessary sacrifice, what an ironic statement." Hastur sneered.
"I can exchange you for a copy of Sequence 1 Extraordinary Characteristics."
"This is just equivalent." Hastur said with an indifferent expression: "You need to add another Sequence 1 Extraordinary Characteristic as an apology for today's threat."
Adam was silent for a while. He only had the extraordinary characteristics of the Sequence 1 Hand of Order.
But after only about three seconds of silence, Adam recognized Hastur's trading method.
Because this kind of transaction was also within His expectations.
There is no such thing as equal exchange, because today's transaction is not equal to both parties.
"I have a copy of the Sequence 1 Hand of Order extraordinary characteristics." Adam took out a copy of the Hand of Order's characteristics that emitted a pale golden light and the previous copy of the Dream Weaver's extraordinary characteristics and suspended them in mid-air.
"Where's the other Sequence 1 Extraordinary Characteristics?" Hastur was also curious, which other Sequence 1 Extraordinary Characteristics could Adam find.
Adam's eyes were calm and he said, "The other part is with Medici."
"How cruel."
Hastur clicked his tongue. Adam's answer was both expected and unreasonable. Just coming from Adam's mouth still made people feel cold all over.
"Is this also a necessary sacrifice?"
Hastur asked this question again. Even though he knew that the hunter died of loyalty in the end, it still made people feel uncomfortable.
