Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 328 All the Same

Ember slowly and firmly reached out towards the uniqueness in the air, but just before he was about to succeed.

The magnificent ancient palace before his eyes suddenly became empty and dark, dotted with bright stars.

This is a miracle.

Zaratul knew that he could not fight against the ember head-on, so he made full preparations from the beginning.

Use enough miracles to create miracles in impossible situations!
Yu Jin, who was transferred to the 'Starry Sky', was not surprised at all. In the blink of an eye, his figure reappeared in the ancient palace on the top of the mountain.

However, in just a few moments, Zaratul had released his mythical creature mentality and transformed into a huge mysterious vortex formed by twisted worms. They extended transparent tentacles in all directions, and just seeing them would make people lose their minds and become distorted and crazy.

The huge vortex formed by the twisted worm releases a terrifying attraction, trying to suck the uniqueness into its body.

But on the opposite side of the worm vortex, in the raging flames, the same light gate vortex was also releasing terrifying suction force.

The uniqueness was in a short stalemate under the influence of the two suction forces, and was "fixed" in the air without moving. However, Zaratul's "attraction" was obviously not as strong as the "Source Castle". After a short stagnation, the uniqueness slowly flew towards the light gate in the flames again.

At the same time, just as Yu Jin was about to make a move, a figure quickly appeared on his right side.

He had long curly chestnut hair, blue eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips, a well-groomed mustache, and wore a dark red coat with embroidered gold thread. He was none other than the former emperor of Intis, Roselle Gustav!
For Zaratul, the 'Servant of Mysteries', he has known many angels that he can summon in his long life, but there are only a few who are stronger than the Sequence 1 'Emperor of Knowledge'.

In the current situation, Zaratul still chose to summon Roselle Gustav's historical pore image first, not only because Zaratul was most familiar with it and it was easiest to summon it successfully, but also because the opponent's ability was useful enough in this situation!

As soon as Roselle, the 'Knowledge Emperor', stepped into the real world, he looked down at the embers below, and complex and illusory symbols condensed in his eyes.

Yu Jin's mind was suddenly filled with a large amount of redundant information and useless knowledge, and his thoughts were temporarily unable to function.

His body was frozen there, and his eyes didn't even have time to change.

While Roselle Gustav was interfering with the embers, Zaratul's transparent tentacles dragged out another figure.

The figure had a young face, but his long hair was already half white. It was blown back and floated in the air, half hidden and half visible in the darkness.

He looks like a man, with dark eyes that reveal a sense of vicissitudes of life. His facial features are pretty good, but he has tufts of short, thick black hair on his cheeks, giving people a contradictory feeling of being both old and young, both rational and crazy.

He immediately transformed into a group of wriggling, hugging insects, extending transparent and slippery tentacles similar to those in Zaratul's projection.

Obviously, this is the original ancestor of the Antigonus family!

His body is still in eternal sleep, and even in the face of opposition from several angels, there is still no sign of awakening.

But Zaratul pulled out the projection of His 'past' from the gap in history in front of His true self!

It is obvious that Zaratul made sufficient preparations before taking action.

As Antigonus showed the complete form of a mythical creature, the attraction of the worm vortex that he and Zaratul transformed into increased significantly. The two merged into one, and together they used their "cohesive force" of uniqueness to forcibly resist the attraction of Sefirah Castle!

During this process, Russell Gustav continued to output a large amount of redundant garbage information to Yu Jin's brain, trying to drown his thoughts in a sea of ​​garbage.

Zaratul never tried to kill the Ember from beginning to end, because he knew that he could not do it alone.

Therefore, his purpose is just to delay time. As long as he can delay until he gets the uniqueness, he will win!
But now, under the pull of the two Sequence 1 angels, the uniqueness that was originally flying towards the light gate suddenly changed direction and flew towards the worm vortex transformed by Zaratul!

Yu Jin's eyes turned slightly and looked at the two worm whirlpools opposite. He had gradually adapted to Roselle Gustav's spam information offensive and had become partially immune to this attack.

However, these few seconds were not enough for Zaratul to successfully seize the uniqueness.

But at this moment, Zaratul's tentacles once again dragged out a new figure from the void.

He was wearing a black classical magician's robe and a pointed hat of the same color. He had black curly hair, black eyes, a broad forehead, a thin face, and a crystal monocle on his right eye.

As soon as Amon appeared, his dark eyes became normal, not like a projection at all.

He looked down at the people below who were fighting fiercely over 'uniqueness', curled his lips, and said with great interest:
"interesting."

In a sense, He and Zaratul are actually enemies.

Because they all need to fight for Sefirah Castle and the position of 'Lord of Mysteries'.

Therefore, Amon had never thought that Zaratul would actually actively summon his projection - this was almost the same as courting death.

Although Zaratul is good at hiding, once He actively summons Amon, Amon will be able to locate Zaratul's coordinates.

But in this situation, even Amon would not attack Zaratul.

After all, neither He nor Zaratul has become a true God so far. Instead, they can become temporary allies when facing the common enemy, Embers and Fool, who own Sefirah Castle.

It doesn’t matter whether he can become a god or not; what matters is not allowing his enemies to become gods.

So Amon immediately locked his eyes on Yu Jin, and with a slightly playful smile, waved his hand with interest:
"Hey, long time no see."

He raised his right hand and adjusted the crystal monocle once again, and a ray of light appeared.

when!
A distant and illusory bell sounded all around.

It seemed to have come from a long history, slowing down everything around it, including the surging darkness.

In midair, patches of darkness were pierced, revealing a huge wall clock carved out of stone.

It is old and mottled, with its surface divided into twelve grids by gray and blue-black. There is a different symbol in each grid. There are three pointers, one long, one short and one medium. It seems to be composed of a twelve-segment "time worm" full of vicissitudes of life.

As the second hand jumped, the bell rang again.

when!
Amid the echoing sound, Yu Jin's thoughts slowed down and even stopped again. Then, the shadow of the ancient clock disappeared and turned back into Amon wearing a pointed hat and a monocle.

“He” raised his hand to adjust his monocle, and walked towards the uniqueness that was attracted by Zaratul and the ancestors of the Antigonus family.

Behind Him was Zaratul who was also in a state of slowness and could only watch all this.

Although He and Zaratul were brief allies in the fight against the Embers, it did not mean that He could not betray his allies.

He could never become a god until he found Pales Zoroaster.

But whether it is Embers or Zaratul, if either of them obtains uniqueness, they will have the opportunity to become gods in a short period of time.

So he didn't want the ember to have uniqueness, nor did he want Zaratul to have uniqueness. In this case, of course, He could only keep it for them reluctantly.

Among the three paths of the 'Lord of Mysteries', He Himself represents the 'wrong' path. Although Mr. 'Gate' of the 'Gate' path is the strongest, he is now exiled from reality and is being toyed around with by the Outer Gods. He is simply unable to compete for the position of the Lord of Mysteries.

Therefore, as long as He can grasp the uniqueness of the Fool's Path, He is the only candidate for the Lord of Mysteries!

With a triumphant smile, Amon walked over to the Uniqueness and tried to hold the key in his hands.

However, at this moment, Amon's figure suddenly became extremely illusory, as if it would disappear into thin air in the next second.

Amon turned around and looked at Zaratul. He was summoned by Zaratul.

Even if he regained his consciousness through the "bug" and turned this historical projection into his clone, the basis of the existence of this clone is still Zaratul. As long as the other party wants, he can cancel the summoning state of the historical projection at any time.

And His current change was obviously Zaratul's counterattack and warning to Him.

However, Amon is not the kind of person who can be warned so easily.
The originally illusory projection became solid again in the blink of an eye, and Amon grabbed the uniqueness without hesitation.

Even if Zaratul contacts and summons, it will not matter. His original body will provide "energy" for this clone. Although it cannot be sustained for a long time, it is enough to support it until He takes away the uniqueness.

However, at this moment, a brilliant golden lightning flashed across the palace, stealing everyone's attention.

Boom! Crash!
Huge thunder resounded inside and outside the palace, and crackling lightning raged wildly in the palace, making the entire dream world be torn apart easily like a broken mirror, breaking into countless independent pieces.

And in this broken world, the shining spear penetrated countless "fragments" and pierced Amon's body accurately.

boom!
Amon's body was instantly pierced through, and he was thrown out by the shining spear and nailed to the top of the huge stone chair!
Amon showed a look of astonishment on his face, and then he cast his gaze towards Zaratul below and said:
"If you hadn't held me back, I would have succeeded by now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Amon's historical pore projection disappeared instantly.

Zaratul restored the 'energy supply' to Him, and Amon himself was able to provide backup 'energy' remotely.

But it was obvious that Amon was no longer ready to play. Seeing Amon retreating, the opponent's Ember had returned to normal.

Zaratul had almost no hesitation and immediately wanted to escape into the historical loophole!
He did all this to seek wealth and honor in danger, and even the risk of summoning Amon was a last resort. But Amon's interference directly ruined his plan, and the chance of seizing the uniqueness was almost zero. Now he could only escape as soon as possible. Otherwise, let alone the uniqueness, even his Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics might not be preserved!
As Zaratul gave up, the historical projections of Roselle Gustav and the ancestors of the Antigonus family could no longer be maintained and dissipated one after another. Zaratul, who had transformed into a mythological form, also had no time to return to his original form and instantly disappeared into the gaps in history.

In the ancient palace, only ashes and the eternally sleeping ancestors of the Antigonus family remained.

Snapped!
Yu Jin glanced at the direction where Zaratul disappeared, and took the uniqueness that had lost its attraction and was flying towards the vortex light gate.

While he was doing all this, a figure suddenly "fell" out from the void. It was Zaratul, who had not yet gotten rid of the mentality of a mythical creature and still maintained the appearance of a "worm vortex"!
Zaratul's tone was somewhat unbelievable:

"why?"

"Why can't you leave?"

Yu Jin held another Sequence 1 'Mysterious Servant' extracted from the ancestor of the Antigonus family in his hand and said calmly:
"See the white fog outside the palace? Only one of us can leave here alive."

"White mist?"

Zaratul returned to his original form, looked through the broken dome of the palace, and saw the white mist covering the entire palace. He said in a deep voice:

"Origin Castle?"

Ember smiled and explained:
"It has nothing to do with 'Source Castle', but you can think of it as another ability of 'Source Essence'."

Zaratul lowered his head, his eyes flickering.

Of course he knew that it had nothing to do with Sefirah Castle. The external manifestation of Sefirah Castle might not be "grey fog", but it would definitely have a special aura.

And in that white mist, He did not sense any breath belonging to the 'Source Castle'.

In other words, the white mist came from the extraordinary ability of the being in front of him.

The extraordinary power of a god.

The Twin Princes' Great Swords appeared out of thin air and were held in Yu Jin's hands. He stared at Zaratul opposite him and asked:

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Zaratul took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"I can hand over the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 1."

Before he put himself in danger, he was already prepared for failure.

And this worst-case scenario was also within his expectations.

What the other party wanted was nothing more than the Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics, which was not completely unacceptable to Zaratul.

At worst, he could just be a Sequence 2 Miracle Worker, or even become an angel under the Fool!

As long as you are alive, there is hope for everything!

Yu Jin approached Zaratul step by step and said calmly:

"Unfortunately, no. Only one of us can leave here alive."

"That's the rule."

"rule?"

Zaratul's face slightly changed color. What Yujin was talking about was rules, not regulations.

So, this white mist is also the embodiment of some kind of rules?
But it was clear that Yu Jin had never used similar abilities before. Was he deliberately hiding his abilities, or was someone hiding the key?

Based on the current desperate situation and the information he had learned, Zaratul quickly came to the conclusion -

He was deceived.

Zaratul's expression changed drastically, and he said hurriedly:
"Adam made me come!"

"I know. It's all the same."
