Chapter 281 God
"Tsk, how come this guy is so lucky that he's not dead yet."
Although the tattered figure was already charred, Xia Yu could still tell that it was Palutas who had self-destructed.
However, compared to before, Palutas was in a miserable state at this moment. The mechanical device that originally fitted his left arm and half of his chest was directly destroyed in the self-explosion.
That powerful self-healing and regeneration ability seemed to have disappeared, and now Palutas was only hanging on to his last breath.
Snap~
Xia Yu, who was flying in the sky, landed next to the miserable Palutas and showed a vicious smile.
"Play? Still playing? Is it fun?"
Palutas, who looked like a charred corpse, raised his head which had turned into a charred egg when he heard someone talking. When he found out it was Xia Yu, he twitched the corners of his mouth.
“Play…keep playing!”
While squeezing out the sound, he suddenly turned around and slapped the Mercure Gate behind him, which was the third door.
In fact, with Xia Yu's speed, he could stop Palutas, but he wanted to see what other tricks the other party had. Even if the third level of Mercure's Gate was really opened, that would be exactly what he wanted.
Anyway, one of his goals in coming here is to destroy the Mercurius Gate, including the Flower of Destruction inside the gate.
Although without the power of the singer, the flower of destruction is likely to no longer appear, but it is better to be prepared.
With a slap of his backhand, the door suddenly lit up as if unlocked by fingerprint, and even a blue light appeared in the gap.
Then, complicated magic arrays appeared layer by layer, and then they collapsed layer by layer under an unknown force.
Seeing this scene, Xia Yu on the side raised his eyebrows slightly. This is completely different from what is drawn in the comics.
In the comics, although Palutas also used the palm print to unlock the magic circle, there was no scene of the sealing array being broken. Instead, a projection of a little man appeared.
And that little man was none other than Jakor, whose sense of existence was in a superposition state of strong and weak. Jakor bowed and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
After that, Palutas was taken away by a teleportation magic circle that suddenly appeared, and he did not appear again until the black flower of destruction was destroyed.
Although Jakor in the comics is just an automatic projection, it can also explain a lot of things. At least the Mercure Gate is definitely related to the world of Nier.
It’s just that those are scenes that happened in comics. It can’t be said that they have nothing to do with what is happening now, but they are completely different!
However, the Dragon's Back World already has different parallel universes, so it is reasonable that there are slight differences between each universe.
As the seal on the last door was unlocked, the Mercurius Gate, which had not been damaged at all since the battle began, suddenly opened outwards.
"Hahaha, come and play! Play!!"
The charred corpse of Palutas tore at his carbonized eye sockets and stared at the deep darkness behind the Mercurius Gate.
In the darkness, two white dots and a curved line appeared, forming a dark smiling face.
The next moment, soft, boneless dark arms stretched out from the pitch-black door and twisted irregularly.
"hiss……"
Xia Yu's eyelids twitched when he saw this. Although he had seen this scene in comics, he still felt a little scared when he witnessed it in real life.
But facing this scene, Palutas was not afraid. Instead, he opened his arms towards the black boneless arms like a child who wanted a hug.
The next moment, sticky black mud suddenly flowed out from the door, and huge black hands grew out of the black mud, staining the earth with darkness, like a twisted black jungle, which made people think of evil thoughts that could not be looked at directly.
The palutas that was stained by the black mud melted immediately and merged into the sticky black mud.
Xia Yu looked at the black jungle with disgust, waved his hand and took out the Chaos Demon Sword. Although he didn't know the nature of the black mud, using fire was definitely the right thing to do.
Magical power surged around Xia Yu, and the chaotic flames on the magic sword suddenly erupted. The hot breath distorted the air, causing the temperature here to return to the level before the explosion.
In an instant , Xia Yu stabbed the magic sword, which was condensed to the extreme, into the ground. The sword body was swirling with red flames, piercing through the earth with the momentum of annihilating everything and going straight into the middle layer of the mantle.
In this attack, Xia Yu used half of his strength to control the energy from leaking out, otherwise the continental plate would have shattered.
Although this is not his original world, it is still quite cruel to exterminate human beings for no reason.
boom!!
A pillar of blazing white light shot up into the sky, and the Black Hand Jungle, along with the Mercurius Gate in the center, was enveloped by the pillar of light.
Everything was annihilated, the fragments split into rubble, the rubble split into dust, and even the dust turned into particles in the white heat and finally returned to nothingness.
The ominous black mud and black hand jungle completely disappeared from this world in less than half a second.
After a few seconds, the beam of white light that tore through everything gradually dissipated, and the air was filled with vacuum nothingness in the blink of an eye.
The place where the original church was located has directly turned into a bottomless pit. It is a deep pit that goes straight to the mantle. If Xia Yu comes again, he may be able to reach the core of the earth.
There was no noticeable change in the sky, except that the air was hotter, the sky was bluer, and there were no clouds as far as the eye could see.
After carefully sensing with his spiritual sense and finding that he no longer smelled the black mud aura, Xia Yu retracted the Chaos Demon Sword and flew back to the Yo-Ye troops.
The Mercure Gate incident has been resolved perfectly. The next step is to deal with the alien creatures outside Midgard. Maybe we can even encounter that perverted god.
"What's that expression on your face?"
Xia Yu flew in front of the YoRHa troops and waved his hands, but the YoRHa members still had stunned looks on their faces, as if the system had crashed.
"No... no no, you are worthy of being a human!"
"Indeed, sir, you are so good... so amazing."
“Is this the majesty… the power of the Creator?”
The next second, the stunned YoRHa members came back to their senses, but their language system seemed to have some problems and they spoke stutteringly.
Although he had anticipated the situation, Xia Yu was still a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to explain, something strange happened.
At the Gate of Mercure, which had completely disappeared, a pitch-black door emerged from the void, and then a huge black hand suddenly stretched out from the door and grabbed Xia Yu with lightning speed.
Then the big hand retracted and grabbed Xia Yu into the door in front of the YoR-Ya troops. As the big hand returned, the door closed and disappeared.
Everything that just happened happened within a few tenths of a second. By the time the YoRHa troops reacted, the pitch-black door had disappeared, along with Xia Yu.
The members of the YoRHa unit who witnessed Xia Yu being captured turned pale and panic appeared on their faces.
"Sir? Sir?!!"
"The master has been captured? What should I do?!"
Panic gradually spread, and the YoRHa troops rushed towards the place where the dark door had just disappeared like crazy , and then tried to find the door and rescue Xia Yu.
But how could they find the door that had already disappeared? They were doomed to fail.
…
At the same time, Xia Yuchu.
Xia Yu, who was caught by the black hand, was not actually that scared. Rather, the moment he noticed the black hand appear, he had decided not to dodge.
Otherwise, with his spiritual awareness open, how could he be caught so easily.
Who is he? He is the protagonist of an invincible novel. How could the protagonist of an invincible novel ever suffer a defeat?
As the black hand shrank, Xia Yu, who was captured, was also observing this space. There seemed to be no distinction between up, down, left and right in this space. There was only thick black fog spreading all around the world.
Everything is so cold and quiet.
After flying for an unknown amount of time, the big black hand finally let go of him, and Xia Yu slowly fell to the ground, landing in a black ocean.
However, it is not accurate to call it an ocean. To be precise, it is a solid darkness as still as dead water, composed of sticky black mud with no end in sight.
As the Kuroshio flows, a Western-style castle rises from the ground. This castle has a typical Gothic style and looks both gorgeous and quiet.
Looking at this castle, Xia Yu suddenly thought of the vampire castle in movies and TV shows. However, compared with this Western-style castle, the vampire castle is nothing.
The next moment, the castle door opened.
Oh? Are you inviting me in?
Seeing the castle door suddenly open, Xia Yu thought in his mind that he had probably guessed who was in the castle. Although he would have to face off sooner or later, he didn't expect it to be so soon.
But to him, it makes no difference whether he comes early or late. Since the host has invited him, how can he not give them face?
While thinking about it, Xia Yu first tagged all members in the group, and then walked into the castle.
After walking for about ten seconds, Xia Yu arrived at the gate of the castle. Although the door was open, it would be pitch black from the outside if you didn't step into the castle.
Hmm... It feels like entering a boss room.
But this feeling is not wrong. If his guess is correct, the one behind the door is the final BOSS he has to face.
Although he was ready to call for help, Xia Yu still decided to apply the buff first. Applying the buff before fighting the BOSS is common sense.
As the rays of light lit up, after another ten seconds, all kinds of gains were completed.
After everything was ready, Xia Yu cut through the darkness and stepped into the darkness behind the castle gate.
Unexpectedly, the inside of the castle was not dark at all, but brightly lit.
The bright ball of light brought soft light to this place. The pure white light shone on the exquisite female stone statue standing here, giving it a sense of holiness.
At the end of the throne, a dark flower was blooming, and on the throne in the center of the flower, the unharmed Palutas was supporting his face with one hand, looking at Xia Yu who was walking over with interest.
"You're...interesting."
Palutas stared with his black eyes. Although there was an expression of interest on his face, there was only emotionless indifference in those eyes.
"An incredible existence, with a power that I can't understand at all. Hey, tell me, who are you?"
"Me? I'm your grandfather."
Xia Yu raised his right hand and raised his middle finger.
Faced with this humiliating answer, the expression on Palutas's face became even more intense, but his eyes remained calm, like a pool of stagnant water.
" Heh, there's no point in angering me. No matter how much you jump out of the blue, you're just an interesting toy after all."
Facing what Palutas said, Xia Yu sneered: "Plaything? Come on, even if you are a god, how much strength do you have left now?"
"One percent? Or half? You defeated the original ancient god and seized the throne of the world, but you don't even dare to show your true form?"
Hearing Xia Yu's words, the expression on Palutas, or God, gradually changed into an emotion in his eyes, which was a blank indifference.
"How did you know that?"
"Know what?" Xia Yu stretched out his little finger to pick his ear, then raised it to his mouth and blew it. "Know that you are seriously injured now? Or know that you are actually an intruder?"
Although the story of the Dragon Back World is fragmented and complicated, Xia Yu happens to know a little bit of the background.
The original ancient god of the Dragon Back World was actually the Shenlong clan, but an unknown being attacked the Shenlong clan and defeated the Shenlong, so the Shenlong clan lost their position as god.
But the Dragonback World cannot be without God, just like the 3D Zone cannot lose Tifa and the West cannot lose Jerusalem. So at the moment when the old God died, the nameless existence took over and became the new God.
But the original ancient god was not so easy to defeat. Although the nameless being succeeded, he also suffered extremely serious damage.
Therefore, during the Dragon's Back, He could only possess the little girl Mana, and now He possesses the old human Palutas, because His real body was seriously injured and may still be recovering.
Of course, Xia Yu was not 100% sure that Wuming was really seriously injured. Those were just his speculations, but this speculation was very likely.
But now it seems that he guessed right.
Because the god's face at this moment was very black, the kind of black that literally means black. The face of Palutas was already covered with black runes, and only those cold eyes were emitting a cold light.
"Yo yo yo, you're anxious, you're anxious."
Xia Yu fell backwards with his upper body high, making the same move as the Empress Hancock in One Piece, and looked directly at God with his nostrils.
"The world is my back garden, humans are my playthings, the flower of destruction is my creation, and the dragons are my servants."
God looked at Xia Yu's ridicule with an expressionless face.
"And you are just a slightly interesting plaything."
After saying that, the god, who was supporting his face with one hand, waved his hand casually, and the scene changed rapidly. The originally bright castle instantly turned into a dark ocean.
The god sitting casually on the flower throne was also lifted high by the throne, sitting upright in the sky looking at Xia Yu below.
The next moment, the black sea surged, and a child doll that looked like a child's toy emerged from it, its head covered with broken cracks, its eyes emitting a faint white light, and the corners of its mouth hooked directly to its ears.
The ancient puppet, one of God's creations to destroy the world.
The ancient puppets that emerged surrounded Xia Yu tightly, and at first glance there were nearly a thousand of them.
But it’s not over yet. Next, ancient claws that looked like upright beasts and ancient strange lights that looked like giant insects emerged from the black sea.
These creations that God used to destroy the world are now all used to deal with blasphemers who displease God.
"Oh, do you think I'm alone? Although I'm really alone, I've never been alone."
Xia Yu raised his head and looked at the god in the sky, smiled contemptuously, then raised one hand high and shouted loudly.
"I've never been alone!"
