Hearing Lin Qiye's doubts, Merlin thought for a moment and shook his head:
"This... I don't know either. Although I know more than others, I am not omniscient after all. At least my understanding of the three pillars of the Ke system is very limited. Maybe they have some special method?"
“Omniscient… Yes, there is also an all-knowing [Key to the Gate]!” The light in Lin Qiye’s eyes became brighter and brighter, “As creatures of this universe, we may not be able to find a way to deal with Azathoth… But [Chaos] and [Key to the Gate] are beings from outside the universe, creatures created by Azathoth, maybe they know more information
Maybe... they still have a way to quickly upgrade dimensions!"
Merlin looked at Lin Qiye, who seemed to be grasping at a lifeline, and seemed to want to persuade him, but in the end he did not speak...
Merlin could imagine the pressure Lin Qiye was under... He was carrying the mission of human survival. Even in the most desperate predicament, he could not be the first to lose his fighting spirit. He had to squeeze out every bit of possibility to carve out a slim chance of survival for humanity.
Lin Qiye found hope, and the haze in his eyes immediately dissipated. He seriously thought about how to get this information from them...
No, the top priority should be to return to Daxia as soon as possible!
This place is too far away from the earth. If we fly back along the same route, it will take at least several days... By that time, the [Key to the Gate] will probably have completely destroyed humanity.
"If you want to go back and face the Key to the Gate, I can accompany you." Merlin suddenly said, "Although I can't beat the Key to the Gate, I am still a top-level warrior after all. With a few forbidden time spells, I may be able to help."
Lin Qiye's eyes lit up, "That would be great... Sir Merlin, do you have a way to return to Earth quickly?"
Merlin was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and touched his sparse hair under the hood...
"How fast do you want it?"
"Of course the sooner the better!"
"... Oh." Merlin showed an expression of as expected and sighed, "I know... Leave it to me."
He slowly raised the staff in his hand, and in the boundless deep sky, surging magical elements surged out, and tens of thousands of lines of void were outlined in the void under the feet of the two people. A huge and extremely complex formation was gradually taking shape...
Lin Qiye also possessed the [Merlin's Secret Book of Forbidden Spells] and knew almost all the forbidden spell patterns, but the super magic array in front of him was more complicated than any forbidden spell he knew. He had never seen it before!
"Merlin... What kind of magic is this?" Lin Qiye asked puzzledly while standing in the center of the magic circle.
"Super forbidden spell of space, 'Dimensional Folding'."
“…《Dimensional Folding》?” Lin Qiye looked through the [Secret Book of Forbidden Spells], but still couldn’t find this name. He said at a loss, “No…”
Merlin held a magic wand as bright as a star in his hand, standing in the rapidly folding space, his dark blue magic robe moving without wind!
He held down the fluttering brim of his hat with one hand, looked at Lin Qiye, and smiled slightly.
"Mr. Dean... You still have a lot to learn."
Song!!!
As the extremely complex magic circle shone as brightly as a star, countless spaces folded at one point, and the next moment, the figures of the two disappeared at the same time! !
…
Summer.
“What is the mood among the people?”
In the meeting room of the Night Watch headquarters, Monk Fate sat in the main seat and asked in a deep voice.
"... Not good." A high-ranking member of the Night's Watch shook his head. "Most people are very curious about the outcome of the battle in the north. At least in their opinion, we won an overwhelming victory. Many people are asking when they can return to normal life... They think that since we won, we shouldn't keep them in the shelter any longer.
The point is, we can't explain to them that this war is not over yet... and there is still a [Gate Key] that we can't deal with at all."
"The same is true of public opinion on the Internet." The head of the Public Relations Department sighed, "The people have been in the shelter for a long time. Even if they have enough supplies and online entertainment, they still have negative emotions. If it drags on, I'm afraid it will cause a certain scale of unrest..."
"Can't the Night Watch come forward?"
"Now we have to rely on the Night Watch to stabilize the people's hearts. However, no matter how great the halo of the Night Watch is in the eyes of the people, it is just a spiritual sustenance. Their patience will eventually wear out."
The meeting room fell into dead silence.
"We won't wait until then." Monk Fate said calmly, "The situation is now very clear. Either the [Key to the Door] kills all humans, or we block the [Key to the Door]... In the end, whether humans can survive depends on these two days."
"By the way, we knew that [Gate Key] was going to attack Daxia, but we still did nothing? At least we should prepare some manpower on the front line..."
"It's useless. The [Key to the Gate] can see into the future. In front of Him, all arrangements and preparations are meaningless. Instead of dispersing our manpower to various borders, it is better to gather them together and wait for Him to take the initiative to attack."
"If all the fighting power is gathered together, what about other places? If the [Gate Key] starts to massacre the people, it will take time for us to rush over."
The fateful monk raised his head and looked at him calmly.
"In war, there will always be sacrifices... right?"
The man opened his mouth, but eventually fell silent... Indeed, if all the combat forces were dispersed to various borders like before, even if they could block the [Key to the Gate] for a few seconds, it would be meaningless. Now all the top combat forces of Daxia combined are no match for the [Key to the Gate]. If they were dispersed further, it would be no different from seeking death.
However, this extremely passive situation made everyone feel powerless...
Just then, a figure suddenly broke into the office.
"Something happened! Something happened!!"
Everyone's eyes fixed, and they turned their heads to look, "Is the [Key to the Door] coming?"
"Uh... it shouldn't count." The man's expression was a little strange. "It was [Key to the Gate]... He took the initiative to come to us and said that Daxia should mobilize all its top combat forces to trap Him."
Everyone stood there in a daze.
[The Key to the Door] came to them on his own initiative... and asked them to trap Himself?
What is this operation?
The Fateful Monk seemed to have thought of something, with a gleam of brilliance in his eyes, and he immediately stood up from his seat, "Where is he now?"
"At the border of Shenlong Pass, He said He is waiting for you to pass there."
"Walk!"
The Monk of Fate directly summoned all the combat forces of the Daxia human beings at or above the ceiling, and rushed to the border rapidly!
In the crowd, Wang Mian was about to catch up with everyone else when he suddenly felt a pain in his chest!
He suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand and tore open a corner of his collar, only to see a white chess piece slowly seeping out of his flesh and blood...
“This is…” Wang Mian’s eyes narrowed slightly.
