Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea

Chapter 171 Devil: I want to turn the table
Zhou Mu used the gauze decorated with silver flowers to wrap around the bamboo sword in her hand.

As she was wrapped in layer upon layer of soft gauze, the attraction of the bamboo sword that she had almost become accustomed to suddenly weakened a lot, as if it was isolated by an invisible barrier.

"Is this... tinfoil?" Zhou Mu was puzzled. She didn't think this thin shalo had anything to do with tinfoil.

"It is a sacred silk," replied Hermione.

After receiving the ordination, Zhou Mu's memory was also enhanced.

However, she could only remember about 30% or 40% of the contents of the books she had read in the sect.

What's more, mixed in these memories are some vague and possibly erroneous fragments.

But Hermione remembered every detail perfectly, and she said:
"This is also a method of sealing Beyonder characteristics. There are indeed records of this within your sect."

"As for the production method of the sacred silk... it's not difficult to analyze it with this physical object."

During the analysis process, Hermione also uploaded every detail of this sacred silk, whether it was its fine texture or the unique pattern of silver flower splicing... all to the intelligent computer, allowing Grisha to assist in the analysis.

With their cooperation, not only did the production process of the sacred silk gradually become clear, but even the meaning behind the mysterious symbols made up of silver flowers and the characteristics contained in the production materials were all analyzed one by one.

Some of the symbols can be found in the talismans provided by the Taoist priest, and the remaining unfamiliar symbols can be successfully deciphered after spending a little time and effort.

With the help of this sacred silk, Hermione not only obtained the inherited knowledge of making the sacred silk, but also, after gaining a deep understanding of its connotations and principles, combined with the knowledge of talismans outside the Western Continent, she improved a new set of sealing methods.

This improved sealing method can be directly engraved on magical weapons such as bamboo swords.

But this time, Hermione did not teach Zhou Mu the sealing method she needed for free as usual. She put forward her own requirements:

"Searching for the Taoist disciples who once guarded this Taoist temple, regardless of life or death."

"Okay, Senior Yuanchu." Zhou Mu agreed without hesitation. Even if she didn't mention the help given to her by this Senior Yuanchu, she was also curious about what happened in this Taoist temple.

The reason why Hermione did this was to intentionally guide Zhou Min to contact more extraordinary forces so that she could learn more about the various forces in the Western Continent.

Napolidisli, who was standing by, also noticed the changes in Zhou Mi's bamboo sword.

The short blade that he had casually hung at his waist was now carefully wrapped up by him using some remaining sacred silk that he had found.

Feeling the changes in the short blade, Napolidisli looked at Zhou Mu suspiciously and asked, "How do you know the purpose of these pieces of cloth?"

Zhou Mu's expression was calm as she explained calmly, "It's recorded in the sect's miscellaneous discussions."

Zhou Mu then added, "I will stay and investigate what happened in this Taoist temple. What are your plans, Senior Napoleon Disili?"

Although Zhou Mu's tone was soft, there was no room for negotiation in her choice of words.

Napolidisli glanced at the divine silk wrapped around the short blade and said with a smile, "Of course I will sacrifice my life to accompany my junior sister."

In the abyss.

Selina was driving her hideous-looking motorcycle, speeding towards the target point that needed to be checked.

With the vague sense of direction gained after merging with the abyss, Selina controlled the direction of the motorcycle.

I don’t know how long I have been traveling in this desolate abyss, but the world is still as dead silent as ever.

At this moment, the cracked hills that Selina was passing by suddenly exploded.

For a moment, dust flew up, and in the dust, groups of black figures emerged.

These deformed monsters bared their fangs and claws, exuding a chilling chill. Disgusting saliva flowed from their mouths, emitting a foul stench.

A hint of impatience flashed in Selina's eyes, and the ferocious motorcycle under her seemed to be in tune with her thoughts. It instantly transformed into a huge sharp blade, which was held firmly in her hand.

Amid the sound of the phlogiston explosion, the choking and cold wind seemed harmless to everything a second ago, but at this moment it really cut through the air like a knife, cutting through the bodies of these abyss monsters.

Selina wielded the giant blade smoothly and without much thought. All of this had become an instinctive reaction of her body.

He impatiently crushed the monsters that blocked his way, and then, rather disappointedly, kicked the remaining heads of the monsters casually as if they were balls.

Fighting these monsters driven by high-level demons did not bring him any pleasure at all, but was as annoying as flies.

"It's Philip's mechanical weapon that's becoming more and more powerful." Selina murmured to herself.

Under the combined effects of phlogiston, spells, spirituality, and the extraordinary properties of the Abyss Path, Selina's original purely mechanical vehicle had long been converted by Russell into a killing machine.

Ever since more and more abyssal characteristics were recovered, Russell wanted to use the collected extraordinary characteristics of the abyssal pathway to create a group of extraordinary mechanical troops specifically for the abyssal environment.

However, if no one is operating these extraordinary machines, they can easily be attacked and recovered by the monsters in the abyss.

Therefore, Russell tried to distribute these extraordinary machines to the ascetics, improving the monks' exploration efficiency while also testing the strength and limits of the extraordinary mechanical creations.

Among all the ascetics, Selina's collaboration with Extraordinary mechanical creations was the most tacit. Her vehicle, in particular, had evolved a living will under the blessing of its Extraordinary characteristics.

This active will was named "Machine Soul" by Russell.

Of course, in the eyes of Hermione and Grisha, this kind of active will, even when paired with an analytical machine, can communicate and interact with its owner and partner in a similar way to humans, but it cannot be called a true "machine soul".

After all, these active wills have not given rise to real emotions such as joy and anger.

However, Russell did not give up. He kept saying that machine souls were a man's romance, but after learning that the vampires were a race bred by Lilith, he pestered Lilith to research how to create a new race.

Russell wanted to study the power of creation to create a true Iron Race, and even wanted to create a true "Machine Soul".

"Philip, with this kind of passion, might be well-suited to becoming a 'perfector'." Even the usually strict Grisha commented on Roselle in this way.

Hermione, however, had a different perspective. She felt that Russell, who was out of tune with this world, was in a state similar to the state of nothingness that humans experience after satisfying all material needs.

That state of being neither alive nor alive.

This is also the reason why Hermione only established the principle of "work pays off" in the human kingdom, rather than completely eliminating classes.

But seeing Russell's passion now, Hermione once again clearly felt the value of survival goals to human survival and development.

But it is not easy to guide people towards positive survival goals.

Meanwhile, Selina, standing in the abyss, holding a giant mechanical blade, hadn't considered such complex matters. Her goals weren't particularly positive, but rather were driven by various desires and emotions born from revenge.

He was addicted to the taste of tobacco and the thrill of speeding in a car.

As great as the bloody satisfaction of killing aliens.

The only difference between Selina and the demons of the abyss was that her sense of good and evil had not been distorted by these desires and emotions. Therefore, although she was indifferent to her giant companion, Groselle, she did not resort to violence.

"Are you also responsible for checking this route?"

Groselle, carrying the Beyonder Characteristics he had collected, was as huge as a mountain. With a gentle and honest smile on his face, he spoke to Selina, whom he had met by chance.

Seeing Groselle appear from the direction of her target, Selina's expression became even more disappointed: "You are here, which means you have cleared all the singularities ahead?"

"I'm not too sure." Groselle touched the back of his head, pointed at the Beyonder he carried, and said hesitantly, "Although we found a few demons gathered together, I think... the peculiarity of this route is not caused by them."

feel……

Selina didn't laugh at Groselle's intuition, because in the past when they were companions, Groselle's sudden intuition was often verified in subsequent events.

"Hmm? This is..." Selina stopped and felt a strong evil thought rushing towards her from a distance.

A moment later, a creature in human form appeared before them.

The man was dressed like a gentleman. When he came in front of Selina and the others, he elegantly took off his hat, bowed slightly, and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am Napoli Disli."

"Sequence Four 'Devil'." Groselle revealed the sequence of the demon in front of him in one sentence. In the crusade against the abyss, the hands of every ascetic monk were stained with the blood of the abyss demigods.

Sequence Four "Devils" pose basically no threat to these ascetics.

But at this moment, Groselle and Selina were both facing a formidable enemy, warily looking at the demon demigod who had taken the initiative to contact them.

Napolidisli still wore that seemingly polite smile as he slowly said, "I come here with sincerity. I hope to speak with the powerful being who led this invasion of the abyss."

……

"Napoli Disli..." Hermione looked at the "devil" brought back by Selina and the others and said calmly, "I am the Angel of Illusion. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Although he was asking questions, at this moment, the thoughts hidden in the heart of this "devil" clone that Napoleon had inhabited with evil thoughts were already clearly visible to the "dreamer" Hermione.

But unfortunately, Napolitani was also on guard. In the subconscious memory of this body, there was neither the hiding place of His original body nor any clue of the uniqueness of the "Abyss".

But... Napolidisli actually wanted to use the "Mother Tree of Desire" to threaten her to stop the crusade against the abyss... This plan surprised Hermione a little.

After a brief silence, Napolidisli suddenly let out a hoarse laugh and slowly began, "'Angel of Imagination,' God's agent. Since this is our first meeting, please allow me to express my desire for peace."

The word "peace" actually came from the mouth of a demon. Hermione couldn't help but sigh at the importance of power.

It is precisely because of her powerful strength that she can take control of the initiative, which is also the fundamental reason why she has been pursuing power relentlessly.

However, judging from the performance of the "Napolidisli" in front of him, Napolidisli should have lost contact with the evil clone in the Western Continent that devoured Tian Ruoyao.

Of course, if you want to really confirm it, you still have to see Napolitano in person.

As for the "peace" mentioned by Napoleon, it is an attempt to use the special nature of the abyss to force human forces to withdraw from the abyss.

Seeing Hermione remain silent, Napolidisli murmured inwardly. He had no idea how this "angel of fantasy" felt, but he believed the cards he held were powerful enough, so he continued:

"Let me be frank. I know you're fighting against those Outer Gods who are trying to invade Earth. Don't be surprised that I know about their existence. After all, the Abyss is very special."

"Yes, the Abyss is very special." Hermione's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. "Those alien civilizations are enough to arouse your curiosity about the starry sky. So, you want the outer gods to threaten me?"

Napolidisli frowned, his gaze towards Hermione now filled with fear. He took a deep breath and said,
"Yes. But you still don't know what the abyss represents!"

"The Abyss is the Abyss. At this moment, the uniqueness of the Abyss is actively resisting the call of a certain Outer God."

"However, if you still insist on going your own way and disturbing the peace of the Abyss, then the One who controls the Abyss will actively respond to the call of a certain Outer God."

"When the time comes, beings beyond the gods will descend into the abyss."

"Even your Lord probably wouldn't want to face that kind of situation."

As the cards were revealed, the tone of "Napoli Dissili" gradually became calm and confident.

In his cognition, the Outer Gods are terrifying existences that no living creature on Earth can resist. As the abyss has the ability to release the power of the Outer Gods, even the powerful human kingdom will be forced to retreat.

"Let your original body do the talking." Hermione chuckled nonchalantly, "A clone like you is a bit retarded."

Faced with Hermione's uncooperative attitude, Napolidisli frowned and said, "As God's agent, don't you know the horror of the Outer Gods? Do you know that the power projected by the Outer Gods can even infect and control the spirits of the gods?"

Hermione remained indifferent and said without emotion, "I won't kill you. Go back and tell the real me. If you want to negotiate, I'll let you come. If you don't want to, just hide and wait for me to find you."

"Or, you can try it. Can you really flip the table?"
