Invasion of the maze!
Crazy returns!
At first, Tian Yang only wanted to "fight violence with violence" and use Ah Li's "nightmare" essence to defeat her, but he did not expect that it would lead to the current result.
Because he opened too many "doors", the "madness" that Ahri separated herself returned to her body through those doors. When enough madness returned, it formed a natural "attraction" and no longer needed external force to fuel it. The "madness" that had been separated before was naturally attracted and naturally flowed back, all rushing towards Ahri!
then.
The sky rumbled and large patches of lightning lit up. Those silvery flashes tore irreparable cracks in the night sky. In those silvery cracks, all kinds of buildings, all kinds of strange creatures, and all kinds of scenes poured in.
The 'houses' that made up the 'infinite maze' were now crowding into the 'house' where Ahri was. Countless mysterious figures that could not be described even with the greatest imagination, howled, screamed, roared, and murmured, in the most insane and twisted ways, as they all rushed into the small house where Ahri was.
The earth, the sky, the light and the shadow, everything is shrinking. These scenes are also part of Ahri's "madness", and they are also looking for a return.
When they shrank and retreated, what remained were patches of colorful and bizarre light curtains. Behind the light curtains, one could vaguely see all kinds of terrifying, blurry, inexplicable black shadows as big as mountains that flashed by.
Those things seemed to be peeking, trying to break through some restrictions and enter this place.
At this time, Qingluan opened the umbrella, and the symbols on the black umbrella lit up one after another, and in a blink of an eye they became connected into a piece, connecting from beginning to end, revealing a sense of perfection and ease.
"Come under the umbrella quickly." Qingluan said softly.
Tianyang did not dare to delay. He flashed to the side of the dream god and stood under the umbrella. The sounds, pictures, and even the oppression and fear from the outside world became distant and blurred, as if they were happening in another world.
No matter how terrible or tragic it is, it will not affect them under the umbrella.
Tianyang knew that Qingluan was using her own strength to create a small foothold for them.
At this time, the entire "infinite maze" has become chaotic in time and space, and all things have returned. It is like a pocket universe, shrinking towards a point at an extremely fast speed. In this process, matter and energy are constantly folding and colliding, generating a huge attraction, which makes Tianyang feel like being pulled.
Qingluan also noticed this change. Her eyes lit up, and deep in her pupils, there was bright starlight. Then, around the umbrella, stars lit up one by one. They were spread all around, and the light purple starlight they emitted resisted the attraction.
In this confrontation, it was unknown how long had passed. Suddenly, with a swish, Tianyang discovered that the colorful light curtain above was suddenly replaced by darkness, and snowflakes were dancing under the night sky.
He saw desolate buildings, some collapsed and some standing.
They are back.
Escaped from the infinite maze and returned to the Star City!
Until then, the stars in Qingluan's eyes became dim, and the symbols on the umbrella disappeared one by one. She folded the umbrella, shook her body, and her figure turned pale and transparent, as if she would disappear at any time.
"Lord Qingluan
"Tian Yang was startled and reached out to help her, but his hand passed through the woman's sleeve.
The woman holding the umbrella stood firm and shook her head, saying, "I'm fine."
But just after he finished speaking, Tianyang heard a loud rumbling sound in the distance. Faintly, he could see a building collapsing in the distance, and the space was stained with a layer of darkness. That darkness was different from the night. It was filled with a sense of nothingness and emptiness, as if a corner of the Star City had completely and forever disappeared.
"Tianyang!"
Su Lie's voice came from a distance. Tian Yang turned his head and saw a black shadow rushing in the distance. A moment later, he saw his father wearing a black armor with golden patterns, wings spread out on his back, and a gray polyhedron appeared around his body, and fell in front of him.
Tianyang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his father. At the same time, he knew that although his father's star essence was also taken away, he relied on the dark particles and the power of chaos to save his life in the condensation of time and space just now.
There was a hint of surprise in Qingluan's eyes, as if she didn't expect that Su Lie could survive without her protection.
Tianyang didn't feel that it was surprising. At that time, he was in the tomb. When the night came, except for the temple buildings, once exposed to the outside, he would be invaded by the darkness.
His father's power of chaos could withstand that kind of invasion, even in the grave. Naturally, it also had the power to protect itself in this dream world.
"Great, you're all okay."
Su Lie was obviously relieved when he saw his son, and then looked around: "Where's Ah Li?"
Tianyang was about to answer when suddenly, a ruin in front of him exploded and a shadow rushed out from the thick smoke. It was a giant with a rotten body, a vertical pupil on its face, and green-yellow pus flowing all over its body. It used its hands and feet to crawl towards Tianyang and others.
But after crawling out for a while, it seemed as if it was pulled back by something. Its hands and feet were digging at the ground randomly, but it could not control itself. Its body slid back, leaving a trail of green and yellow liquid on the ground.
Tianyang and his father looked at each other, only then did they realize that the giant was not trying to attack them, but was trying to escape from something.
The giant slid into the ruins, and suddenly the ruins exploded. A figure broke out from above the ruins. It was a tall female giant with messy hair. At the end of each strand of thick hair was a baby's head. Those babies closed their eyes, some were crying loudly, some were screaming sharply, some were giggling, and some were babbling... ...
The giantess was wearing a tattered long skirt, which was somewhat similar in style to Qingluan's, but the huge skirt was covered with stains and holes everywhere.
It covered its face with its hands, raised its head, let out a long scream, and then burst into tears. Tears as big as beans kept falling. As it cried, it laughed wildly, and its laughter echoed in the sky above the entire Star City for a long time.
Its body kept pushing out of the ruins, and below its waist, there were strange and terrifying creatures hanging. Among those creatures, Tianyang saw the products of the gene optimization plan, those monsters that were a combination of humans and insects; he also saw people with ropes tied around their necks, hanging from the body of a female giant, and they seemed to have no bones; he also saw "vegetative people" with branches and leaves growing out of their bodies... ... ...
All the monsters in the infinite maze were hanging on the giantess. They hugged each other tightly, with their hands and feet intertwined, like a group of snakes, forming a huge "tail".
This scene reminded Tian Yang of what happened when they entered Xingdu.
The bronze sculpture we saw was slightly different in appearance, but overall it was the same.
It’s just that the woman in the upper part of the bronze sculpture is beautiful, while the giantess in front of him looks terrifying.
"That's Ari, completely crazy Ari..." Tianyang said softly.
Su Lie was stunned and looked back at Qingluan. He saw the woman holding the umbrella nodded slightly, and then he accepted this fact.
"ah-"
Ahri let out a scream, releasing a twisted, uncertain, and quietly extending force field. Wherever it passed, the statues, walls, towers, and pavilions that were originally dead objects suddenly twisted and turned into monsters with snake-like eyes, or groups of flies with human faces... ... ...
"They have been contaminated by Ahri's madness, and this madness will continue to spread until the stars are transformed into living monsters. After that, they may break through the dream and enter reality, and then contaminate the world you live in."
Qingluan said in a deep voice: "We must put an end to Ah Li here. I will try to delay her contamination and provide you with the necessary protection. The rest is up to you."
She opened the umbrella again, and her figure suddenly faded, from being slightly transparent before to being as faint as a shadow now.
But as Qingluan opened her umbrella, bright purple stars appeared around Tianyang and Su Lie. At the same time, the polluting force field released by A'li was suppressed and no longer spread.
Tianyang knew that Qingluan's strength would not last long, so he looked at his father and started running, dragging "Wild Fire". He looked at the giantess in front of him who was still weeping with her face covered, and tried to get behind A'li.
Tianyang will continue to attack in order to seize more of Ari's essence in order to turn the situation around.
Su Lie ran towards A'li to attract her attention. After running for a while, the "Juque" on Su Lie's shoulder suddenly bounced up and slashed a sword in the direction of A'li.
Almost at the same time, dark sword lights burst out from Ahri's body. They quickly expanded and closed, and finally turned into a black beam of light that burst out from Ahri's chest.
The beam of light that was big enough to hollow out the chest of an ordinary person was only as big as a teacup on Ahri at this moment.
Even though a part of Ahri's body was vaporized in the light column and turned into nothingness, forming a transparent hole, when the light disappeared, the flesh and blood inside began to wriggle rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it healed as before.
But after this attack, even if A'li was really crazy, he instinctively opened his hands and no longer covered his face. He looked at Su Lie.
On its face, there was an eye of varying sizes, and on its forehead there was a huge vertical pupil. That vertical pupil was actually made up of millions of pupils. Just one look at it was enough to make people scream and go crazy.
Fortunately, Su Lie had been wandering in the tombs for many years, and even entered the tomb of the Devourer of Gods, so he was not driven crazy by those eyes. After his scalp tightened, he shook his strong wrist, and the "Juque" blasted out a series of dark sword waves, blasting the snake body of Ah Li's lower body, which was entangled by many strange creatures, into blood and flesh.
At this time, A'li spread out her hands, and from her shoulders to her arms, from her chest to her navel, mouths suddenly appeared. They opened at the same time, spitting out balls of turquoise light. After those balls of light floated into the air, they seemed to lock onto Su Lie, whizzing down from all directions, like a green meteor shower, smashing towards Su Lie on the head!
