At the critical moment, Shade opened his hands that were protecting him and embraced the darkness in front of him. At the moment when the darkness swallowed him, a silver light shone from his body, and then the blazing primordial fire even suppressed the light of the silver moon, making Shade like a burning orange-red torch, and the flames that shot up into the sky instantly lit up the entire sky.
This was something that even Xia De had not expected. He originally wanted to use the light on his body and the afterglow of his divinity to fight the darkness after he fell into darkness. He did not expect that Chuhuo would be more sensitive to the darkness after the end of the world.
He didn't even need to take the initiative to do anything. The blazing flames, with a loud bang, dispersed the dark fishman in front of him who had transformed into black light.
The fishmen ignited by the flames were forced to retreat, and turned into black water before re-condensing into the fishmen that Mrs. Lemaire had transformed into. It made a threatening cry towards Shade who was burning with the First Fire, but neither its own shadow nor the tentacles lurking in the darkness dared to approach Shade at all.
Although Shade didn't know why the First Fire reacted so strongly, he knew that this was not the time to explore. The chains of sin in his left and right hands flew out at the same time, instantly entangled with the tentacles behind the fishman. The stream of the First Fire spread along the six runes of gluttony, greed, laziness, rage, arrogance, and indifference towards the shadows, illuminating the entire square in the firelight. The fishman's body continued to retreat in fear before it came into contact with the First Fire.
But it soon adjusted its state, and the tentacles and shadows were absorbed into its body, and the darkness covering the sky returned to its body. When the yellow sand covered the sky again, turning Saint Teresa Square and the End City submerged in the yellow sand back to their original state, the fishman's head opened its mouth, and the final darkness from the doomsday era turned into a terrifying stream of light that converged on one point.
This attack was enough to corrode and penetrate any resistance in front of it, and Shade knew that he could not block it no matter what. But fortunately, he did not have to block it, because the only shortcoming of the fishman's almost world-destroying attack was that it was too slow.
All the sadness and pain of the doomsday era, the wailing and changes after the destruction of the earth and the sky, finally converged into Shade's feelings about the power of the end:
"Black Moon!"
With wounds all over his body and his right eye barely able to see, Shade held the middle of the black wooden staff in his right hand and made a javelin throwing motion. With his last breath, the brass life ring reappeared and floated behind him. The end spirit rune flashed with aura, and the huge black moon symbol flashed under his feet. As the staff was thrown, the force alone caused a sonic boom.
whoosh!
The Staff of Yggdrasil turned into black light and penetrated the murloc's mouth, nailing it directly to the ground. The dark power gathered from the murloc's mouth tried to destroy the staff, but it couldn't shake it at all.
The long staff pierced into the ground, and the "Black Moon Symbol" symbolizing the end appeared completely under the fishman's feet. As the Black Moon Symbol appeared, the black body of the fishman, starting from his mouth, gradually turned into ash and was blown away by the strong wind.
As its body dissipated in the wind, its two hands covered with fish scales actually made a flapping motion, which was clearly the instinctive struggle of a drowning person.
Xia De looked at the scene in the yellow sand in a daze, but in the end, no one saved it and it disappeared completely.
The accumulated darkness turned into chaotic energy and returned to this dry doomsday era. Shad, who had thrown the attack with all his strength, had no time to check the result, and lay on his back on the ground, no longer wanting to move.
The time exploration of the Sixth Epoch of the Past Life did not limit the time that Shade could stay. Even if he defeated a powerful enemy, as long as Shade did not go to confirm the situation, the Tree Father would not force him to leave. But staying here was a punishment in itself, and his physical strength and spirit could not be replenished at all. Therefore, Shade just lay on the ground to rest for half a minute, then coughed up blood while forcing himself to get up, and limped to the original position of the fishman where the dust had already settled.
Just like last time, due to Shade's powerful throw, the Staff of Yggdrasil was nailed directly to the ground. And next to the black staff, the strong wind could not blow the cards that fell to the ground.
The back of the card is exactly the same as the "Lord Card" and the "Impermanence Card". Picking it up and turning it over, the words written on the top of the card in gilded Draerion language are:
Shadow of the Deep Sea
On the card, there is a huge black fish-man transformed by Mrs. Lemaire, looking up from the bottom of the water. Its figure almost blends in with the darkness of the seabed, and just looking at it will make people feel instinctively uncomfortable.
At the bottom of the front, there are three lines of sentences:
Before the end of the world, souls melt into the deep sea and fall into darkness.
The all-consuming dark disaster came from Coldwater Harbor.
He longs to avoid disaster by transforming into darkness and hiding in the deep sea, but he doesn't realize that he himself is part of the disaster.
After reading these sentences, Mrs. Lemaire's two memories suddenly appeared in Shad's mind.
The first memory undoubtedly took place in Coldwater Harbor.
In the final battle of the Mermaid Song instigated by the Scarlet Cult, Mrs. Flamel and countless citizens who were infected with the curse or had merman blood, stepped into the equally dim ocean step by step against the backdrop of the dim sky.
Not only the power of the Lord of the Scarlet Spiral, who the Murlocs believe in, but also the power of the Raging Storm, one of the three evil gods of Coldwater Harbor, and the God of the Drowned Deep Sea, are also affecting the Coldwater Harbor sea area, which has turned into a turbid yellow color. The Murlocs, the cultists who control the water ghosts, and the ring sorcerers who instigate lightning and storms are fighting against the Church of the Righteous God together.
Of course, the fight between the ring warlocks had nothing to do with the drowning woman. Stepping into the sea would mean drowning in pain, and in the deep sea, in the profound darkness, there was an all-consuming darkness that could not be seen.
Xia De was very surprised:
"Wait, during the battle of Coldwater Harbor last year, wasn't there only the Crimson Secret Order of the Crimson Spiral Lord? Didn't the other two orders not even show up
I don't remember at all that there were two other cults at that time. Why... Did Long-haired Luvia do something extra that made it more difficult for her to handle the Coldwater Harbor incident? Or was it that she handled the Coldwater Harbor incident not in the summer of 1853, but in the next one or two years, which led to the connection between the three feuding cults and the emergence of additional cultists? "
There are too many possibilities. It could be that the fermentation of time has made the three cults unite for the same interests; it could be that the order in which Luvia dealt with the chosen ones was different from what Shade experienced, and the appearance of the chosen ones forced the three cults to cooperate. The only thing that is certain is that the troubles faced by Coldwater Harbor in the past were far more terrifying than what Shade experienced.
The second memory apparently took place in the city of Tobysk, which Shad was familiar with.
He still used Mrs. Flamel as the first-person perspective, watching "himself" getting off a small boat on the Terraril River on a starless night with a dim sky, then entering the city to start a massacre, and soon engaging with the Orthodox Church.
At that time, the strength of "Mrs. Lemaire" was even stronger than what she had just shown, which shows that in the doomsday era, even those evil creatures with doomsday powers cannot reach their peak.
Therefore, even if the thirteenth ring "Sunshine Great Sword" of the Church of the Sun that Xia De was familiar with appeared, in Mrs. Lemaire's memory, it was unable to suppress her for a while. But when the battle was the most intense, a dazzling golden meteor flashed across the night sky.
Then, a huge "sun gun" fell from the sky, destroying half of the street while piercing and nailing the terrifying giant fish man.
At the end of this memory, in the dazzling golden thunderbolt, Yin Luna appeared with a serious face, not as lively as the 17-year-old girl that Xia De knew. She looked obviously over 20 years old, and her childishness had completely fallen off. Her sharp temperament and undisguised powerful strength made the other church ring warlocks, including "Sunshine Great Sword", bow their heads to greet her.
At this time, the long-haired Luvia appeared wearing a hood. Yin Luna nodded to her rather coldly. It was obvious that although she knew the female fortune teller, their relationship was definitely not harmonious.
The memory ends, and the second memory shows more information about the past life and the sixth era:
"The cultists actually took the initiative to attack Tobesk?"
This was completely unimaginable in the Sixth Era that Shade had experienced. Although the Church had not played a decisive role in the stories of the Chosen Ones, it had not suffered much loss so far, and on the contrary, it had the upper hand over the cultists and illegal ring sorcerer organizations.
The old world's ring sorcerers and mystical order, led by the three major academies and the Five Gods Church, still cannot be shaken by any force in the "present world".
Combined with this information and the mature appearance of Yin Luna in the memories of "Mrs. Fishman-Lemère", if the "opening of "The Whispering Poems"" in the past life was also in the summer of 1853, then it means that the "Whispering Poems" in the "past life" lasted for a very long time, and it is impossible that six chosen ones appeared in less than a year as experienced by outsiders.
In the past, the church of the Sixth Era had obviously gradually lost its dominance and control over the situation during the long confrontation.
Xia De took a deep breath and looked at the cards in his hand. Endless worries and troubles came over him. After witnessing the end of the world, he became more worried about the future that was destined to come:
"Last time there were two memories, this time there are two too. These are the Key of Yggdrasil and the Treefather. Do you want to give me a hint?"
White fog was sweeping in from all around, and the square that was corroded by black water and destroyed by energy bombardment was being restored as if time had gone back. He looked at the familiar square that was gradually becoming blurry, and at his own dilapidated house, and his desire to stop all this and protect everything he had at this moment became stronger.
