"It is a formidable foe in the shadows."
The black spot of light fell into the shadow under the woman's feet, and then the shadow swelled up, and in an instant it was higher than the roaring demon. The demon's skin was blackened, but there were magma-like bright red lights flashing in the texture of the skin, but these lights were not enough to dispel the huge shadow.
"The fourth is the person who is setting the stage. I am the guide of fate."
A black spot of light shot out from the book and directly entered the woman's forehead. Jenkins has come to the roof again with Mr. Gref, the holy son of the Church of Mechanics, and Mr. Carlot, the holy son of the Church of War. The sword in Jenkins' hand strikes again, and Mr. Gref throws two black things forward. Mr. Karlov swung the long-handled ax in his hand like a whirlwind, and even approached the three of them faster than the sword light and the thrown objects.
The two men who were holding the bell and singing backed away, and the woman who was about to continue singing took a step forward, stretched out a hand, and firmly grasped Mr. Karlov's long-handled axe.
The magical runes flickered on the long-handled axe, leading to the appearance of golden holy light. A moment of ferocity appeared on the woman's face, and her speech speed suddenly increased:
"The fifth is a guest from a foreign land, from a distant world."
Black dots of light burst out of the book and into the hands of a man in a robe and holding a bell. He was originally seriously injured because he took Jenkins' sword hard, but after gaining new strength, he suddenly rushed forward, crossing his hands to block Jenkins' sword light. But the long robe was shattered by the aftermath of the sword light, revealing the man's face.
This man Jenkins actually knew, and during his first business trip to the Shire last autumn, Jenkins entered the train trap. At that time, two others also escaped alive. Among them, the female spy who used [Mr. But never appeared again.
At that time, this man was not yet a demigod, so he did not expect to acquire such powerful power in a year. In fact, Jenkins is more curious about how he returned to the material world from the world of dominance after "getting off the car" last year, but it is obviously impossible for the other party to answer Jenkins' question.
After stopping Jenkins' sword light, the projectile thrown by Mr. Gref was also caught by him. But immediately after that, the two bombs exploded directly. Unfortunately, after the gunpowder smoke passed, even the tiles on the roof were not damaged:
"The sixth place is a contemporary hero, a living legend."
The black light spot entered the old gentleman's body, and his height was abruptly raised by three feet. At the same time, the originally thin body swelled into a muscular appearance. The bomb was caught by him, and he continued to sing along with the woman's chant, while smiling at the three of them.
"Oops, it seems to be the ability to ban thermal weapons."
Jenkins heard Mr. Gref, the son of God, muttering to himself.
"The seventh, the eighth, that is the tree, that is the king, that is the legend that came out of the legend, and that is the visitor who came to this era."
Two black light spots appeared at the same time and fell on the ground, one turned into a small black tree, and the other turned into a man with an unclear face.
"There is still a ninth place!"
The woman's voice became more and more high-pitched, and she and her two companions flew into the sky and came directly above the square. The church's attack flew towards them from the ground, but even without that invisible barrier, the book in the woman's hand still protected them.
"The ninth place is destiny itself! From one to nine, from nine to one! This is the cycle of destiny. When destiny gathers here, that is when the unspeakable enemy is born."
The black light in that book surged, and the huge spiritual vibrations gathered within it stirred the air and stirred up the clouds and mist. Demons, corpses, shadows, men, women, old people, trees, and faceless people are all in different spatial positions, but they overlap at this moment.
The book vibrated and then exploded. A deep light enveloped the sky above the square, which brought together the terrifying power summoned by the wonderful ritual of the fate of the savior, driving those lights to rotate.
And at the center of the rotation, the space barrier was shattered, and a huge void connected the unknown space in the distance.
Warm ashes were still floating in the sky, but the air suddenly turned cold. Ripple-like traces appear in the air, and the fluctuations of special spirits cause spatial changes in the material world.
"This kind of power...is it a beast of disaster again?"
Alexia looked up at the black hole with Jenkins, and she was pulling Jenkins to stay in the air:
"The power of the savior at the end of the era is a powerful force allowed by the world, so using the fate of the savior, he sacrificed himself together with the eight symbols, thereby opening a world connected to the outside world with the permission of the world. Hole... the idea is so interesting. If the Difference Engine is using the Rebel Ritual, then the ritual just now is enough to be called the 'Rebel' Ritual."
"Alexia, this is not the time to be excited. This is not the power of the Calamity Beast. They summoned a complete Calamity Beast to our world."
The people who were blown by the strong wind couldn't stand, and the demigods who originally flew high in the sky had to return to the ground because of the terrifying power escaping from the hole. Although Jenkins could barely hold on, Alexia couldn't. They landed on the long street east of the square with the others, and the old man bent over and ran over quickly.
People were very panicked. Although only a small number of people could understand what was behind the hole, the oppressive power couldn't be faked.
In the center of the swirling deep light, the passage connecting the outside of the material world has been completely opened in the hole. That terrible thing is approaching here, then the material world, approaching the people near the Civic Square.
"But how is it possible? There are only three demigods left in the tree house. They sacrificed themselves in exchange for a disaster beast coming to the material world?"
Jenkins heard Miss Streiss behind her say loudly, she was right, the tree house could not harm others or benefit oneself. And calling the beast of disaster to descend seems to be of no benefit to anyone. Only for the difference machine, it can play a perfect role in blocking Jenkins.
"That group of people may not be mentally normal... How long will it take for it to appear?"
There was no huge claw protruding out of the hole, but everyone could feel that a huge and indescribable thing was gradually approaching the hole.
People can no longer look directly at the hole shrouded in the deep light at this moment, the spiritual pollution of the Calamity Beast came faster than imagined.
"The fastest is 30 seconds, the slowest is one minute."
Alexia replied, holding the fast-spinning sky-blue translucent Rubik's Cube in her right hand, while her left hand reached over her head to hold the chocolate, preventing Jenkins' pet from being blown away by the wind.
"Can this ritual be terminated, or close the hole within 30 seconds?"
Jenkins asked Dad loudly again in the high wind.
"No way Jenkins."
Dad was very calm, with a determined expression on his face:
"You are ready, the church is ready to resist. Don't make a move, go to the tower immediately, there are still five minutes, once the entrance to the tower appears, you go in immediately, don't worry about us!"
The old man took out the key, and then he was about to put his hand in his chest, looking at Jenkins with firm eyes:
"You don't need to worry about the outside world. Your task is to go to the ninth floor of the tower to face the disaster of this era. Don't worry about us, but we need to worry about you. You have to face nine...ten , we only need to face one.”
The key was taken out of his spirit by the father. In the unenclosed environment, the people around them subconsciously stayed away from the two of them. The oppressive and spiritual pollution of this key is not small.
Pop held the keys tightly, but before his palms touched his clothes, Jenkins took hold of his wrist.
"what are you up to?"
The father who was blown by the strong wind couldn't open his eyes, the huge pressure coming from the hole above made him bend down subconsciously. But the old man noticed that at this moment, Jenkins stood up straight and looked at him, and Jenkins didn't seem to be affected at all.
No, not in the slightest. Jenkins was glowing, golden light appeared around his body, and the scattered golden light spots could even make Dad feel warm.
"This is… "
I don't know what this means yet, but it must involve the "little secret" that Jenkins mentioned many times.
"Father, please rest well. Your work has been completed, please allow me to take over the next thing."
Jenkins slid his hand from Dad's wrist to palm, and forcibly took the not-so-small key away. Dad wanted to stop him, but for the first time he felt how powerful his apprentice was.
"Jenkins, you..."
Some harsh but extraordinarily warm golden light appeared in Jenkins' tightly clenched hands, and the old man instantly felt that he had lost any connection with the evolution key. The key that has been with me for hundreds of years, the source of the curse and power, was lost so simply and passively.
A huge sense of emptiness filled the old man's heart, and Jenkins, who was in golden light, looked at his father, and then let go of his tightly clenched palms. The key lay quietly in his radiant palm, and then "melted" into his body under the watchful eyes of the old man.
The old man reached out and grabbed the clothes on his chest.
"Have you really decided now?"
Alexia asked softly, pulling Jenkins' arm, and looking at Jenkins at this moment with the cat above her head. In the holy light, he is like a god-man. Although his appearance has not changed except for the light, looking at him is like looking up at him.
PS: I hope that before reading this chapter, I did not misunderstand the meaning of the chapter name.
I wish you all a happy new year and a prosperous year of the ox. Next is the ten consecutive updates of the Spring Festival of the Year of the Ox. Thank you for your support, and I hope to support Jenkins to complete the last part of the story.
