Apocalyptic Forecast

Chapter 879: True name

At this moment, above the dish-shaped Helios, blood rushed, gathered, toward the axis of the entire world, and climbed upward along the tower of light of Publius.

Like the Tower of Babel that once went up against the gods.

The obsession that has been passed down for thousands of years has reappeared from this moment, and the fruit that countless alchemists have dreamed of is right in front of them, toward the sky, toward the high sun wheel.

Publius, no, all the alchemists above Helios, the souls who sank into hell, those who passed away without doing anything, and those unwilling and painful wills, stretched out their own to it. Palm.

Even after a long period of change, this achievement has gradually lost its meaning.

But the mountain is there.

Following the path left by the gods, the alchemist once again initiated the climb!

Boom!

On the Tower of Light, the drinking alchemist stiffened, sighed, raised his head and drank the last drop of sweetness.

"It's a pity..."

He whispered softly, closed his eyes, and turned silently into fly ash.

His strength was exhausted, but the next Pubulus raised his eyes again and threw himself into the torrent, until this too hot flame burned him out.

Then, the next one.

Next...

With the same obsession, countless divided souls were thrown into the furnace, laying the foundation of the tower with their own ashes, making the big **** hand up, up, and up again.

Until the end, regardless of the burning of the sun wheel, the proof of the emptiness of the gods was firmly held!

An inch by inch, drag it down.

It's as if even the gods are swallowed in their abdomen by a hungry person.

"Great Spirit of God, I will offer you all the ‘sacrifice’——"

Publius is burning.

In the flames, he kept throwing himself into the furnace, grinning, and laughing wildly.

"——Please, mourn for me!"

.

"Huh?"

At that moment, at the scene of the Doudizhu contest under the heart of the Everfreezing Furnace, the skeleton movement holding the cards stopped for a while.

It seems confused.

"It seems...something...not quite right..."

It slowly lifted its skull covered with paper strips, looked at the blood that pierced the sky, and finally felt that gravity and a call came from the center.

Involuntarily, being pulled away from the ground, floating, flying towards the sky.

"Ma!"

It exclaimed: "I'm going to ascend!"

Huaishi reacted and quickly stretched out his hand, the cord of grief stretched out, entangled in his skeleton, and grabbed it.

Behemoth also opened his mouth and bit his head, trying to fix it in place.

But the attraction of the same source is too big to be blocked.

Quickly, its arm burst into a gap, and then the greater trochanter also fell off its body and took the lead to fly into the sky. Immediately afterwards, the whole body's bones shattered under the restraint, turned into fragments and dust, and flew quickly towards the huge tower of light.

When Huai Shi reacted, the skeleton had completely fallen apart and disappeared.

There is only a thin strand of source material left in place.

Like a phantom.

Only a translucent skull was left, faintly braving the flames of the origin, as if suddenly changed from a skull to a ghost.

Lost consciousness and entered a state of dementia.

"Ababa Ababa Ababa..."

"What the hell?!"

Huai Shi scratched his head, puzzled, and when he was trying to maintain the skeleton's last source quality, he heard the reminder behind him.

"It's useless for you to do this."

The old voice said, "Pubulius has recovered all of his splinters, and it has lost its foundation...Don't you have a **** wine? Soak it in, and you can keep it intact. If you continue to toss like this, I'm afraid it will be true. It's gone."

With a reminder, Huai Shi moved quickly.

Moved his water tank out, and then carefully put the skull in it.

Seeing it whizzing around like a goldfish in the purified wine, Huai Shi couldn't help but feel sad. Well, this time, it's really soaking in wine.

As the essence of source quality, the wine has the effect of maintaining all broken souls. But it looks like being in formalin.

"Should I just die like this?"

Huai Shi whispered anxiously.

"The divine wine will maintain its existence. As long as you can retrieve what was taken by Publius, your friend will be able to restore it to its original state."

The comer who does not belong here has come to a conclusion.

When Huai Shi turned her head, she saw the old man with a cane, the uninvited guest who came here...

Garland.

Can not help but frowned.

"Great Master, why are you here?" He asked, "Are you here to impose punishment on me, an arrogant person who violated the contract?"

Beside Huaishi, Behemoth raised his paw, licked the sharp blade, and sparks shot.

The look in his eyes became dangerous.

Behind Garland, Rachel's face was pale, and she couldn't help taking a step back.

"Why scare people, Huai Shi."

Garland said coldly: "Although you have successfully won a lot of time, now, the confrontation in front of the gods is out of control. When Publius really pulls that sun wheel into his matrix, he will become the new sun god. , The true master of Helios-if we want to stop him, we must join hands. In terms of reason and interest, it is the only choice for you and me."

"Oh?"

Huai Shi was amused, "I sold it so thoroughly at the beginning, but now I'm back to talk about cooperation, isn't the thickness of Grand Master's face a bit too exaggerated?"

"I admit that the fragmentation of the landmark was deliberately done by me, but isn't this part of our transaction?"

Garland is still calm, without any guilty conscience: "It doesn't make any sense to return to the son of Leviathan, Rachel is the proof.

After being infiltrated by Publius, Leviathan is more dangerous than Helios. All those who are not on the contract have no way to escape, but I saved you. "

"What about the key?" Huai Shi sneered: "Helios saved me by putting me in your name?"

"Isn't this what you asked for yourself?"

Garland asked in return: "I even confirmed your purpose to you again and again, you want to get the crystal of light back, but without my authority, you can't enter the core of Helios at all.

I have reminded you of the risks--

From the very beginning, the contract has stated that ‘both parties must not deliberately inflict harm’, and this one is still valid, Huai Shi. "

In his hands is the old contract.

The top clause is still glowing, proving its true and effective.

"You can say that I took advantage of the loopholes or deceived you. After all, we never had any trust from the beginning, did we?"

Garland said: "But now, if we want to prevent the situation from getting worse, we must work together. This time I will not use the contract to give you any bondage. After the event is completed, all the gains, all the relics of Publius, Even any of my belongings can be given to you.

If you are still dissatisfied with me, it doesn't matter if you want to betray, but I believe that we are each other's only choice over the current Helios. "

"That's right, well said, but it's a pity that I'm not interested in your bad check at all."

Huai Shi was still cold and unmoved.

"But you also don't allow the believers of the piper to reach a conspiracy in front of your own eyes, do you?" Garland said: "Our interests are the same. We don't need to be friends, we just have common enemies."

He said, "Even if there is only this, I believe that we already have the basis for joining forces."

In the silence, Huai Shi looked at him silently, without speaking.

After a long time, he laughed mockingly.

He had to admit that this old man had grasped his bottom line and knew his choice already. Compared to an alchemist, Garland might be more suitable to be an intermediary or broker.

You can always give reasons that people can't refuse.

Always grasp the situation, always insight into the most important places, and always control the rhythm.

Can always turn other people around.

It can always be successful.

"I have to admit that what you said is very reasonable, your proposal is very wise, your determination is admirable, and you successfully convinced me."

Huai Shi raised her hand and applauded in admiration, but her eyes remained unmoved.

Just looked at him calmly.

Tell the old man in front of you.

"I can form an alliance with you, Grand Master, just like the last time. But I don't need your empty cheques and promises, nor do I need you to answer any alchemy doubts and mysteries for me—"

He said, "I have only one question, and I need you to answer me directly."

In the roar of the distant sky and the earth, Huai Shi stared at the old man in front of him, and asked every word: "Now, in front of me, the great master who wants to form an alliance with me...

Is it ‘Pubulius’ or ‘Galander’? "

At that moment, the thunder of hatred rose in his hand, and Behemoth raised his scarlet eyes behind him, no longer concealing his hunger and thirst for hunting.

Whether it is the avatar behind them or the paradise guards, or even the lizardmen legion.

All the beings looked here indifferently.

Waiting for his answer.

The answer that can determine whether it is an enemy or a friend.

Behind the old man, Rachel was already stunned and dull.

Looking blankly at the old man beside him and Huai Shi on the opposite side.

Don't understand...what are they talking about!

"Who are you?"

Huai Shi looked at the old man indifferently: "Your Excellency Grand Master, answer me: Which one are you?!"

"I am Garland, Garland Van Herman."

The old Grand Master held up his palm and raised the contract again: "Do you have any questions about my identity? Huai Shi, or do you think Publius can impersonate me?"

Huai Shi laughed softly: "Ah, I don't worry about this. Publius may not be able to pretend to be Garland, but Garland...may not be able to pretend to be Publius, right?"

He paused and asked curiously: "But, would you be convenient to show the inheritance of the Blessed Herman family? It is said that a drop of blood can expel all poisons and evil miraculous blood...Oh, forget you have I have blood fever, what a coincidence, isn't it?"

Huai Shi shrugged sympathetically: "It's a shame that the legendary bloodline was destroyed by the stubborn disease of alchemy. God treats you very differently, and it's embarrassing!"

Garland was silent, did not speak, and at the same time... did not refute.

"I have always been curious about one thing."

Huai Shi held the hate water, and smiled more happily: "About, the rules and regulations on Helios...

In order to defend the technology and power left by the gods, all alchemists born on Helios could not leave for life.

And the foreign alchemist can only stay for seventy years-either he is dead because he knows too much after seventy years, or he leaves Helios without knowing it, accepts the precepts, and never tells the public. Things above Helios.

Mr. Garland, you are an outsider, and you come and go freely... But how did Publius leave Helios? ! "

Garland didn't speak, but beside him, Rachel couldn't help frowning: "For the Grand Master, it is natural and easy to break the rules of the district. There is always a way to get around."

"Yes, everyone thinks so."

Huai Shi nodded, "But there is another possibility, isn't it?"

He stared at the old man in front of him, and asked again: "If... for Publius, there are no rules that cannot be left?"

Why, as the prisoner of Helios, Publius can come and go freely?

Why does Publius' bones think he is a member of the Hermann family?

Why, Grand Master Garland would be so familiar with Helios...

There are too many doubts and inconsistencies.

For a long time, Huai Shi couldn't understand what was going on.

He once again reviewed the principles of alchemy-there must be a sacrifice ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Someone reminded me that the so-called cost and the result are also interchangeable-sometimes, the focus is not on what you get, but what you lose. What happened. "

Huai Shi stared at the old man in front of him, "And what have you lost, Grand Master."

Garland did not speak.

And Huai Shi has found the answer.

"After eliminating all the impossible answers, there is only one truth."

Huai Shi raised her finger, pointed at the old man in front of him, and declared with a vibrating voice:

"——Pubulius is your biological son, right!"

Dead still.

The death-like silence came suddenly, and everyone was stunned and dumbfounded. Even the old man who had always maintained a calm expression was stunned.

Garland: "..."

Rachel: "..."

Behemoth: "..."

Beside, the incarnation of anger took a sip to the ground in disdain.

The inference is too stupid.

And compassion incarnate nodded in agreement: one said one, indeed.

Even Behemoth couldn't help showing a look of disgust.

"Ahem, sorry, I just made a mistake... Let's do it again."

Huai Shi coughed awkwardly, tried to squeeze out a serious expression, and raised her finger again: "After removing all the impossible answers, really..."

"There is no need to test, Huai Shi, and no need to play mystery anymore."

Garland interrupted his side attack and told him without any concealment: "Since you have seen the temple of Hecate, how many hearts already have the answer?"

"It's just like you imagine..."

He answered frankly:

"——Before I became ‘Galland Van Herman’, my name was ‘Publicius August’."
