The Icon Palace was silent, and the vast and majestic temple was completely enveloped in an eerie tranquility, and a chaotic mist drifted out of nowhere, covering almost every inch of the palace floor.In the dimness, there was a twilight-like glimmer in the air, but there was no warmth in this light, but only a thick malice and maddening gloom.This twilight shimmer had never appeared in any of the Chaos Tides, so Carasius and the others didn't know what it meant, but Hao Ren knew it was a sign of Lokmardon after coming into contact with those illusions.It was seeping into the real world, first the great shadows that floated over the city of Luan, and then the twilight that filled the Icon Palace.There were no survivors in the palace, not a single body in sight, not even the slightest trace of battle."
No one......
There are no corpses ......," Hao Ren muttered to himself in a low tone, "This place was supposed to gather the most powerful combat power of the church, but there was no trace of their resistance left in the world. ”Lily ran around in front of the group, leaning down from time to time to sniff the smell around her with her sensitive nose, and soon she ran back upside down: "Landlord, there is no smell of blood!"
”Karasius took out a platinum scepter from his dimensional bag, and the scepter released a constant warm white light in his hand, slightly dispelling the rich malice and madness in the air around him, and his face was solemn: "It seems that everyone disappeared at the same time, otherwise there would not be a trace left."
What is the power to do this?
The Divine Array in the palace didn't even show signs of activation......
The Divine Array is directly controlled by the Pope's brainwaves, and with only one thought, the Icon Palace will enter the highest defense mode, no matter how urgent the situation is, His Majesty the Pope will not even have time to activate the Divine Array, right?
”Hao Ren didn't say anything, but a thought suddenly popped into his mind: unless that Pope didn't want to activate the Divine Array at all."
Uncle, where is the 'gatekeeper' you are talking about?"
Lily asked suddenly.Karasius pointed to the corridor in front of him: "Through this corridor, through the garden area, there is a teleportation array and a spiral ladder leading to the upper level of the Twin Towers, but now the teleportation array doesn't know if it can still be used, so I can only take the spiral staircase." ”In an oppressive silence, the long corridor finally came to an end, and after passing through an archway with intricate ornamentation, a garden suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.The garden is quite large, with fountains, pools, sculptures, etc., and it looks like a high-class garden with exquisite structure, but above the garden you can see a dull dome: the garden was built indoors.The plants in the garden were surprisingly not wilted, and were even more lush than usual, but all of them were covered in a pale gray and dusk hue, which was eerie and twilight.This made everyone who was about to step into the garden suddenly raise their vigilance.Lily was the first to step into the garden, followed by the husky girl.Suddenly, as Lily crossed a certain line, a faint white light filled her body.This scene made the husky girl herself stunned for a moment, but Hao Ren reacted instantly, he immediately took out his matching gun and spear from the carry-on space, and shouted a warning: "Be careful!
There are Chaos minions nearby!
”Lily's physique, which automatically glows when she arrives in the Chaos Realm, has become a particularly easy to use automatic alarm.Karasius had been with the head wolf for a long time, and of course he knew very well what it meant for the head wolf to suddenly release the light of order, and the high-ranking monk instantly silently cast several protective spells on the knights and sub-race barbarians beside him, and at the same time held a staff in one hand and a divine magic ball formed by energy in the other, and spoke quickly: "From what direction?!"
”At this time, Lily finally reacted, and quickly turned her head to look at her tail, she found that the fluff on her tail had exploded uncontrollably, and the light floating on the fluff was converging in one direction."
Underground!"
The husky girl shouted, "The forces of chaos were stunned when they were in Carasiuston, and reacted for two seconds before hesitatingly saying, "The garden district is underground......
It is the resting place of the Holy Spirit, the holy souls of the ages who have been protected by the goddess and become immortal......"
Lily looked back at the high-ranking monk: "Wang!
Speak human words!
”Hao Ren didn't wait for Carasius to open his mouth before taking over the conversation: "It means the tomb of the popes of all generations!"
”As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of what the Nightmare Shadow had said before it dissipated, and remembered the name that Nightmare Shadow had mentioned: Benedict III, the Holy Pope of the Sanctuary more than two thousand years ago.He couldn't help but curse secretly: "Meow, that monster actually means ...... like this" And with his secret scolding, the entire Icon Palace seemed to shake violently.A low humming sound came from the bottom of the garden, and the cold air broke through the ground, instantly covering the surrounding grass and trees with a layer of frost, and then the nearby soil began to fluctuate and surge with a magnitude visible to the naked eye!"
It's coming!"
Hao Ren roared, and at the same time drew his gun and shot without hesitation.A cloud of blue light erupted rapidly, and then countless crystal clear fragments scattered and exploded from the burst point, and below the fragments, a distorted thing with black smoke and dust could be seen rushing out of the ground under the action of inertia - but the crystallization of ghostly erosion was not at all something that ordinary things could resist, and the black figure was covered by crystals as it rose, and by the time it rushed out of the ground, it had turned into a huge crystal, and then it shattered, and even a howl could not be issued.However, this is only the first one.One after another, black monsters rushed out of the earth, and the chaotic power quickly filled the surrounding space like a tide, and the forms of those monsters were strange, not all of them were pieces of flesh shrouded in smoke and dust as Hao Ren had guessed at the beginning - some of them had a large number of tentacles, some were covered with eyes and sharp teeth, some were simply a standard ball of meat, and some could still see the vague human form, except for the monsters that still maintained a slight human form, they were simply like pieces of flesh that had been randomly transformed, And the only thing these monsters have in common is that they are all shrouded in chaotic black smoke and dust, and they release powerful mental fluctuations!
Karasius suddenly exclaimed, "That's ......
Church signs?!
”Hao Ren followed the other party's line of sight, and was surprised to see that there was actually a clothed one in the group of monsters - it was a nightmare shadow that barely maintained its human form, and it was draped in a tattered piece of cloth, the cloth could only vaguely see the style of the clothes, but a pale gold ring emblem on it was clearly visible."
Maybe it hasn't had time to rot yet," Hao Ren said quickly, "This proves that these are really the popes of the past!"
”A great shock swept over the church soldiers at the scene, these brave and fearless soldiers are still completely unable to accept the fact that successive popes have been corrupted into monsters - this corrosion may have started a long time ago, in the accumulation of thousands of years, every pope sent to the Holy Shrine has become like this, or it may have been corrupted recently, but in any case, these monsters come from the Holy Tomb, and there is also the logo of the Church, and there was once a monster who said the name of a certain pope two thousand years ago, These facts were enough to make devout monks and knights lose any fighting spirit.However, the monsters did not stop at the rocks of the humans, and with the Church warriors at a loss, they had formed a black cloud in the garden area, followed by a swift and powerful attack.It was the most dangerous, the most untraceable, the most irresistible force: the psychic attack.A sense of dizziness and all kinds of bizarre visions swept over, and Hao Ren seemed to see the monsters wrapped in smoke and dust in front of him gradually condense into an unprecedentedly huge whole, they became a mountain, into a storm, into an endless, invincible source of power, in this power, a powerful voice echoed in his head: Surrender!
Surrender to this power!
Surrender to your fears!
Surrender to your weariness!
Surrender to ......
Hao Ren's eyes widened, and all illusions vanished: "Surrender to your uncle!"
Lao Tzu's year-end bonus depends on this fight!
”"How could you ......"
"Nonsense - you were still rotting in this basement when Lao Tzu was playing Inception with the demigods!"
However, even though Hao Ren and Lily (the husky didn't know what to do and wasn't bewitched by the psychic illusion anyway) broke free from this powerful psychic attack, the situation quickly deteriorated.The reason is simple - they have to face not only the monsters in front of them, but also the two of them who are attacked on the spot.More monsters, or the twisted souls of the previous popes, are awakening in the underground tombs, and the quantitative change of spiritual attacks will sooner or later lead to qualitative changes, and those church warriors and sub-race brutes composed of mortals do not have the strong spiritual resistance of Hao Ren, and their spiritual defense line is crumbling one after another, and it will not last long!
Visions began to emerge continuously, at first they were just phantoms in the spiritual world, but gradually, even in the real world, strange shadows appeared.Those soldiers and brutes with less willpower have fallen into a trance, and their spiritual world has begun to turn into a springboard, allowing more twisted shadows to enter the real world.Hao Ren felt that all his senses were declining, and all kinds of negative feelings that didn't exist were popping up out of thin air—not yet to the point of precariousness, but he felt that it would be dangerous to continue like this, even if he was fine, the ordinary people around him were probably going to have a big problem.There was a "bang" of gunshots, and another twisted soul was reduced to crystal dust by his ghostly spear, and then he turned his head to look at Carasius and shouted, "Withdraw at once!"
I'll leave it to me - I'm going to purify the entire mausoleum area at once!
”However, Carasius turned his head slowly, his eyes unfocused, as if he couldn't recognize who Hao Ren was."
I'll you......
It seems that the most reliable one has also dropped the chain......"
And at this time, Hao Ren's spiritual connection suddenly opened, and the voice of the data terminal came: "Partner~ We tossed out the material transmitter beta1.0, give you something to try?"
”Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed: "Hurry up!"
Send me a fighter with 20,000 combat power!
This head is fighting!
