"The beast of calamity has to abide by the rules in the strange world. It turns out that the condition for it to be activated is that the fire in the bonfire disappears... Could it be that the difference engine predicted that I would do this?"
The burning Jenkins sped up his pace and ran towards the gate emitting white light, but the falling sky was obviously faster. At the same time, with the "falling sky", the metal skeleton that had just stood up actually appeared directly behind Jenkins, and then grabbed him.
"I didn't break the rules."
Jenkins said, and then the skeleton's fingers moved slightly, and a line of words appeared in front of him:
[You did not violate the rules, but I did, savior, you can stay here.]
It was obvious that Jenkins was on fire, but the metal skull showed no sign of being ignited at all. It was so powerful that Jenkins might still be able to break free if he was in a normal state, but now that his body and soul were being burned, it was obviously impossible.
"Since you can't break free, then I will sacrifice you!"
He gritted his teeth and said in pain.
This thing is not a simple bone, so in order to prevent the incantation [Bone Sacrifice] from being ineffective, Jenkins directly used the chain ability [Embrace Death (Red Combat)] + [Bone Sacrifice (Yellow Spell)] = [Contact Death messenger]!
Due to the extremely concentrated mental power due to the pain of being burned, a ritual matrix was outlined at the feet of the metal skull. With a slight flash of light, the skeleton actually disappeared in the ceremony.
As it turned into black ash, the black ash drifted around and gathered together again. With a bang, Mr. Augustus appeared in front of him.
"Jenkins how do you..."
Before he had time to be amazed by the burning Jenkins, he suddenly raised his head:
"It's actually this thing!"
Mr. Augustus immediately clenched his sickle with both hands, and then slashed upwards. A gigantic sickle phantom appeared in the sky, but was crushed by the falling sky immediately after.
"I'm fine, Mr. Augustus, you go away! This is not something you can deal with."
Jenkins urged, trying to move on to the door himself. But being blocked by the metal skull for a while, the degree of burning of his body became more and more obvious, and he barely took two steps before falling to the ground.
The body regenerates quickly, and the flames will lick the body more quickly at the same time, so he can't walk for the time being.
"Jenkins, what are you talking about? I regard you as a friend, do you think I am the kind of person who will abandon friends at will?"
Mr. Augustus held his sickle high, and the black lightning went against the trend, hitting the falling abyss continuously, but all this seemed to be of no avail.
"That's the power of the Calamity Beast [Undead Abyss]."
"Of course I know that all those who use the power of death should regard this monster as an enemy. Mortals are mortal. This is the rule of the world. Immortality is the sin of the greedy."
He jumped high, and his whole body turned into a black light and rushed towards the falling sky. But compared to the abyss, Mr. Augustus is equivalent to an ant.
Jenkins reached out to stop him, but it was too late. Holding on to the ground, he wanted to stand up, but the exhaustion of his spirit had finally reached its limit. In the battle between life and death, although life had always had the upper hand, it was a process of constant entanglement. At a certain moment, he finally touched [ Undead]Boundary.
Thus, the white light covered the blue flame.
"what's the situation?"
Although [Undead] is an ability Jenkins acquired last year, in fact, this ability has only worked once so far. That time was hit by a bullet, so there was nothing unusual when he returned from death.
But at this moment, he is only one step away from becoming a god, and his body is a genuine seedling of the world tree. [Undead] As a white basic ability, it was affected by various reasons, and finally when the ability came into play for the second time, a strange change occurred.
The body quickly recovered in the white light, and the faint blue flame was extinguished as a result. While the vitality of the World Tree seedlings was rapidly filling up, the majestic spirit of death in the ground under their feet was also drawn into the body.
The "reborn" Jenkins thus drew strength and returned to his best condition again. And these are just appearances. More importantly, the God of Lies has experienced the feeling of returning from death. This is no longer the experience of ordinary people. Compared with half a year ago, Jenkins, whose soul has reached a higher level, saw more at this moment, so he felt more.
He jumped up in the white light of the resurrection of the [Undead], and he sat on a high stool and turned into a white spot of light and rushed to the sky, pulling back Mr. Augustus who was about to be swallowed by the abyss in time.
It's just that no matter how enlightened he is, the mortal Jenkins at this moment cannot immediately have the power to defeat the [Abyss of Immortality]. At this moment, the sky had already pressed down close to the ground, and the tremendous pressure and force forced Jenkins and Mr. Augustus back to the ground together. At this time, it was too late to leave through that door.
"Do you think I really only have this power?"
This sentence was said by Mr. Augustus. He pointed to the sky, and the black lightning pierced through the space. It struck Mr. Augustus directly from the world that Jenkins could not perceive.
The earth was trembling, and it was obvious that one-third of the spirit of death in the deceitful realm was sucked away by Jenkins when he was resurrected, but the majestic spirit that seemed to come from the underworld spewed out from the ground like a spring.
"Underworld?"
Mr. Augustus, who was struck by the black lightning, put on another black robe, an older and more worn black robe. He held up the black sickle, and the howling wind swirled around him. A terrifying number of undead were digging out of the cemetery's soil to guard this gentleman.
The falling speed of the sky weakened in vain, and there was even a tendency to rise upwards. A pitch-black fog surged from the ground, and among the spirits of death, terrifying undead creatures of unknown origin crossed the space and directly entered this strange place in violation of regulations.
They passed by Mr. Augustus and charged towards the sky. The torrent of black undead was really entangled with the abyss. Those undead are all advanced undead, that is, undead with self-awareness.
They obviously could have come from only one place, the world held by the ancestors of Mr. Augustus. The Augustus family is the descendant of the master, they are the noble family, that is the noble death.
"Jenkins, you leave first, and leave the matter here to me."
Mr. Augustus said that at this moment he has turned into a huge shadow in a black robe, and Jenkins can feel the power of this gentleman at this moment.
"Okay, thank you very much this time."
He didn't talk too much nonsense, picked up the backpack and two metal cocoons and was about to leave. Mister Augustus's laughter echoed in the world:
"You don't have to thank me, Jenkins. If I didn't have the master's permission, I wouldn't be able to attract so many high-level undead. It is my ancestor who is helping you. As I said, you are destined to be the favorite of death. If you really want to thank , When something is over, remember to call me to the material world, and invite me to the pub for a drink."
He kept getting taller until his feet stepped on the ground and his head was in the abyss. The tide of undead roared from the ground, and Jenkins was indeed not needed here.
"Then see you next time."
"Bless you, Jenkins, for the sake of the world we are familiar with, we must go to the end."
Those were the last words Jenkins heard before jumping into the increasingly unstable white-lit door.
(Chocolate is running... )
In front of the doorstep of the Church of the Sages, Hathaway, with the chocolate on her head, watched the carriage and the accompanying team, together with Fei Ni, go away under the dark sky with ashes floating in the middle of the night.
It wasn't until the carriage completely disappeared at the corner of the street that the red-haired girl couldn't help but sigh, showing exactly the same expression as the chocolate on top of her head at this time. But she soon regained her spirits, and raised her hand to touch the chocolate that she had never been allowed to touch before. She didn't take it back until she felt the little claws of the chocolate pushing her hand:
"I've met Jenkins' friend just now, so the next step is to wait for Alexia to come back. Britney is now with the goblin at Silver Dragon, so I'd better go find Jessica."
She thought in her heart that Miss Bailing's identity could not be restored now, otherwise, once Jenkins came back, it would be inconvenient for her to come forward to talk to her, not to mention that there was no place for the cat to be placed.
While stroking the white ashes off her shoulders, she turned around (don't use the top of her head, because there are chocolates), but saw Miss Bevanna and Granny Alia, the keeper of secrets, waiting for her at the door of the church.
"Miss Hesha, do you have time now? We have something we want to talk to you about."
Miss Bevanna asked with an unnatural smile on her face.
"Sure enough, it still came, really, did Alexia go underground just to leave this matter to me?"
Hathaway complained a little dissatisfied in her heart, and nodded against the inconvenience of the cat, so she said:
"Okay, so where are we going to talk?"
"Go to my office."
said Miss Bevanna.
A group of three walked to Miss Bevanna's office together. Hathaway thought that she would be walking between Miss Bevanna and Granny Alia, but in fact she was just walking side by side with Miss Bevanna, and the other two There was no attempt to prevent her from escaping.
So before entering the office, Hathaway thought that there would be many church demigods in the office, but after opening the door, there were only Miss Bennet, the holy son of the Church of Nature, and Miss Marceau, the demigod of the Church of Mechanics.
This is probably to take care of Hathaway's emotions. Since everyone is female, they will speak more naturally.
"Maybe there are still many people standing behind this wall, and you can't see the opposite from the office, but you can see this office from there."
She thought about it again when she walked into the room with Miss Bevanna, but Chocolate let out a listless "meow~", and Hathaway somehow understood that the cat was saying that she was thinking too much.
