Chapter 1817 Character Card: Eternal Obsession (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

"You can only command one angel," the skeletal giant said calmly, staring at Heo. "I can still bear the destruction caused by a magic circle."

As he spoke, the light beneath his feet burst forth with dazzling brilliance, almost completely illuminating the thick fog.

He lowered his head and looked at He Ao, his voice hoarse but calm, "Since you know that we have been preparing for so many years, you should know that we have prepared enough margin for error. We originally planned to use the power of the Fountain of Youth in Limen City, which would have saved a lot of trouble. However, your existence behind the scenes attracted the Goddess of Life and destroyed the Fountain of Youth, but we still managed to activate the magic array."

So, is this one of the reasons why the Fountain of Youth has remained undiscovered for so long? Has the Church of Death been trying to cover up the existence of the Fountain of Youth?
“Oh,” Heo said calmly, gazing at the skeletal giant with a slight smile, his mind racing. “Are you sure?”

The next instant, the surrounding thick fog trembled violently once again.

The skeletal giant stared at Heo, somewhat surprised, and said, "What did you do? You destroyed another support point? No, that's not right, it's not about the support point."

The enormous skeletal giant suddenly exerted its strength, throwing Heo away and sending him crashing to the ground.

He struggled for a moment, and almost couldn't get up for the first time.

Countless spacetime rifts unfolded before his body, attempting to block his movements.

In front of him, the enormous skeletal giant paid no heed to Heo on the ground, nor did it even bother to reinforce the seal formed by the space-time rift.

He sat on the throne, his hands gripping the armrests tightly, the radiant light covering almost his entire body.

He raised his head, staring intently at He Ao, the purple flames in his eyes suddenly blazing with brilliant light. "It's the Underworld! What are you doing to the Underworld? You will be punished by the gods for this!"

“In case you don’t know,” Heo clapped his hands, stood up, looked at the skeletal giant, and curled the corner of his mouth, “the Eternal Light is currently in the Underworld, and your god is busy stopping Him. At this time, given the situation in this world, your god may have difficulty paying attention to it.”

boom--

A deafening roar echoed across the land, and even time and space seemed to warp and twist in an unusual way at that moment.

Not long ago—

A thick fog covered the vast space.

And in the very center of this mist, a boy made entirely of mist is floating within it.

He wore a red scarf and had a blood-red butterfly brand on his forehead.

At that moment, the butterfly mark seemed to sense something and began to flicker with light.

Soon, a shape appeared on the brand, and a blood-red butterfly flew out from it, hovering above the mist and watching the boy below.

As the butterfly appeared, rays of light of various colors flickered and shone in the mist behind the boy, like eyes scanning the fog.

It was purple lightning, a dazzling light, and a gray glow.

Amidst this intense tremor, the boy, whose form was made of mist suspended in the air, twitched his eyelids slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes.

The surrounding mist trembled instantly, and the boy quickly regained his balance amidst the turbulence.

He raised his finger, and the floating crimson butterfly slowly flew over and landed on his fingertip.

A series of thunderous roars echoed from the mist behind him, and the light hidden in the thick fog began to distort rapidly.

The purple lightning flashed first, then was quickly engulfed by the dazzling light.

The boy in the mist gradually regained his footing. He didn't look at the mist behind him, but instead raised his head and glanced at the mist in front of him.

The crimson butterfly that landed on his fingertip fluttered its wings slightly, the surrounding fog dissipated rapidly at a visible speed, and the boy's body seemed to begin a rapid 'fall'.

He appeared to be falling rapidly from the sky, yet his form remained unchanged, as if he were standing there while the entire world was being pulled upwards.

In the blink of an eye, his body passed through the fog, through the pervasive clouds, through the tall buildings, and landed on a somewhat deserted street.

During this process, his body solidified at a visible speed, with clumps of flesh growing out from his misty body, eventually transforming into the appearance of a young boy.

His feet were now firmly planted on the street.

He looked up at the sun shining brightly in the sky and the cool street under the sunlight.

This is Winter, but not entirely Winter; the real Winter should be at night now.

The butterfly on his fingertip fluttered up and landed beside him, transforming into a little girl in a red dress.

The little girl looked up at him quietly, her eyes filled with surprise, doubt, and hesitation.

He lowered his head, quietly gazing at the little girl in front of him, and smiled, "Alice, I'm back."

The little girl stared wide-eyed at He Ao carefully.

Then she turned around and ran quickly toward the street on one side.

She moved quickly, like a butterfly flitting through the streets.

He followed in her footsteps and soon arrived at a block.

Busy crowds moved back and forth in the neighborhood.

The sound of machinery could be heard from the neighborhood.

People laugh and chat in this neighborhood, a stark contrast to the quiet city streets outside.

"Alice, you're back?" A rather tall old man greeted Alice casually as she walked to the street corner. Then he looked up and saw He Ao standing behind Alice, his eyes widening slightly. "Ilo?"

“Hello, Captain Nissen.” He Ao nodded slightly, waved, and greeted the dumbfounded old man.

Then he looked up at the bustling street, then looked down at Alice. "Is this the Eternal Kingdom? You built it to resemble Winter City, so that everyone can live here like ordinary people?"

Alice looked at He Ao and nodded slightly.

"That's amazing." He Ao gave her a thumbs up.

Alice stared at He Ao, and a slight smile finally appeared on her cold little face, though it was somewhat stiff.

Then she seemed to realize something, turned her head, and looked at He Ao.

“I need your help.” Heo gazed quietly at Alice, at the vast, empty city.

boom--

A loud, deafening roar exploded in the sky.

Alice raised her head and looked up at the sky.

Illusory reflections are now floating across the entire sky; they are illusory worlds constructed from obsessions.

Like bubbles, they hung upside down in the sky above this illusory city, rapidly approaching.

Meanwhile, on the distant city's borders, clear boundaries are rapidly emerging.

This boundary, like a thin film of a blown bubble, displays a dazzling array of colors, yet subtly reveals a somewhat dim space beyond it.

Light, melodious singing filled the air above the city, accompanied by the clear sound of flowing water.

Alice lowered her head and looked at Heo.

“That’s the ‘underworld’,” He Ao said slowly, glancing at the reflection in the sky. “Or rather, it’s a crevice space extending from the underworld, a kind of special ‘small world’.”

Alice lowered her head and tilted it slightly; clearly, she couldn't understand what He Ao was saying.

But soon, her body rapidly blurred, transforming into a blood-red butterfly that landed on He Ao's shoulder.

The shaking city and its reflection in the sky both stabilized at that moment, and the light singing that had been echoing through the city gradually faded away.

The city's stability has been strengthened.

【Eternal Obsession】cannot fully represent the remnants of the Eternal Divine Kingdom. Only when Eternal Obsession is combined with Alice can it represent the complete Eternal Divine Kingdom.

He Ao raised his head and gazed at the illusory world in the sky.

He originally thought that discovering the existence of the underworld would be quite difficult.

However, after he redeemed the Eternal Obsession card, he was shocked to discover that the Underworld, or rather, the Underworld's crevice space within the dungeon world, was more 'dazzling' than he had imagined.

This space is currently rapidly covering the entire instance world, attempting to encompass the entire instance world within its influence.

On the surface of the world, in cities like Winter, it is difficult for people to discover the existence of this space.

However, for those spaces deep within the world, such as the Eternal Kingdom, the Underworld is like an elephant in the room—unavoidable.

But in contrast to the sheer size of this 'elephant' is the fragility of this space.

From He Ao's current perception, or rather, from the perspective of the 'Eternal Divine Kingdom', this space seems to be a completely 'new' space.

A tremendous force is propelling this space to expand rapidly, covering the entire instance world.

It is large, but its structural stability is not as good as that of the Eternal Kingdom.

He Ao stared at the enormous space, then looked down at Nissen, who was still somewhat confused and had just begun to react. "Captain Nissen, please have everyone take refuge inside the building. There might be a small storm later, so under no circumstances should anyone leave the building."

Nissen lowered his head, glanced at He Ao, and then nodded slightly, saying, "Okay."

At that moment, He Ao had already turned around, crossed the street, and was running quickly towards the silent city.

boom--

As He Ao moved, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky that had been covered by the reflection.

Then, in the next instant, the entire sky seemed to be grabbed by a hand and then suddenly torn apart.

boom--

A violent tremor came from the ground, accompanied by a deafening roar, shaking the city like a landslide or a tsunami.

“Is this a ‘mini storm’?” Nissen’s eyes widened, then without hesitation, he ran back, looking at the people still in the street, and shouted, “Go back! Go back inside!”

As he ran and the crowd panicked, in the sky above the enormous crack, inverted phantoms and cities were rapidly being squeezed out of the crack.

He Ao, who was running, also raised his head and looked ahead.

On the distant horizon, above the city's edge, the illusory membrane shattered with a deafening roar, revealing a dark and serene world on the city's border.

As this dark and serene world appeared, the city's boundaries, like a shovel digging into the soil, rapidly pushed forward, propelling the entire city into those dark and serene boundaries.

At this very moment, the city is plunging into that dark space, trying to draw power from that newborn world to expand itself.

call--

A violent howling sound suddenly came from the depths of that world. Immediately afterwards, the magnificent city was lifted up like a tablecloth placed on a table, and the earth was churned up like waves in the ocean. The buildings of the entire city collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Only the neighborhoods where people still live maintain stability, preserving their structure amidst the waves.

He leaped up, jumping over the waves that the land rippled, the butterfly on his shoulder fluttering its wings slightly.

“They are the gods who control the underworld,” Heo said casually. “Don’t worry, we can win.”

The city, now reduced to ruins, continued forward, plunging even deeper into the dark, silent space.

At the same time, a series of dazzling lights suddenly shone in the depths of that dark space, like an arm grasping the ruined city, pulling the entire city deeper and promoting its integration with that profound space.

This is the power of eternal light.

He gazed at the radiant light.

He knew very well that the Eternal Light wasn't genuinely trying to help him.

In the final battle of the gods in Winter City, the power of the Eternal Light was expelled from the Eternal Kingdom. Although the remaining kingdoms still have some mystical connections with the Eternal Light, they are not under its control.

But at this moment, He Ao activated the divine kingdom and went deep into the crevice of the underworld. The eternal light of the underworld could just bring the divine kingdom into the underworld. By merging the divine kingdom with the underworld and mixing power into it, he could achieve the goal of controlling both the divine kingdom and a part of the underworld.

But this action was also within He Ao's expectations.

Or rather, since the Eternal Light has expressed interest in the Underworld, when Hoo activates the Eternal Kingdom, He will certainly do so, and He may even push the Eternal Kingdom to become the dominant force in this newly merged Underworld.

This would make it easier for him to control the underworld and suppress any remaining power of the Grim Reaper that might exist there.

As the light appeared, the deep, silent space seemed to anticipate its thoughts and trembled violently.

boom--

In the midst of this struggle, a massive rift appeared between heaven and earth, as if the enormous city had been suddenly torn apart by a forceful hand.

The crimson butterfly flapped its wings once more.

“No problem, we can continue.” He Ao glanced at the huge crack, lowered his head, and continued forward.

Behind him, above the torn space, a crimson storm was surging violently amidst the faint mist.
