Latest website: Of course Helfal will not sit back and wait for death just because of a word said by his "enemy", even if the enemy just thinks that he is not qualified at all and the other party can take his life with just a casual poke.

After all, that is a god.

The real one is not a fake like him.

first.

What he tried was to copy a body. Zi copied a new body based on Helfas's flesh and blood. It was still a bit risky to directly replace the body with the soul. He liked to play it safe.

But in the final moments of this body's birth, something strange happened.

Central Records Library.

Iron bookshelves that circulate endlessly are surrounded together, creating a secret space in the center.

The ground is engraved with ritual formations arranged to prevent accidents. The entire library can also be regarded as a sealed space. Even weirdos can't escape from it, not to mention that the outer layer has stricter protection. Helfas City is a fortress built with extraordinary power.

It seems that if there is any problem inside, it can ensure that it will not interfere with the outside as much as possible. If there are people who covet it outside, it will be difficult to extend the power to the inside.

Helfas and Purple stood at both ends of the ritual circle. Helfas separated his palms and let a drop of his blood float in the air.

As Zi stretched out her hand, a sea of ​​blood surged beneath her feet.

Helfas's blood began to spread, and the flesh, bones, internal organs, and limbs extended outward step by step, like a growing sapling.

But as Zi exerts her power, some shadows will occasionally emerge from the sea of ​​blood, saying various things.

"I don't want to die."

"Please remember me."

"I want to live."

Those were the people who had died under the power of the strange, reproductive fetus of life.

This was not the first time Helfas heard such words, but he had a different feeling every time he heard it, especially when he also felt the life force disappearing from his flesh and blood bit by bit.

No matter how unsatisfactory life is, the instinct that bursts out from most people's bodies at the moment they are on the verge of death still wants to live.

Those heroes who choose death, suicides, and madmen in the eyes of many people seem to be existences that betray their own body and blood instincts. That power may all originate from wisdom and something that extends from it.

The body desperately wants to live, but some people feel that some illusory and untouchable things seem to be more important.

And count the various life forms in this world and watch their behaviors.

Wisdom species.

It seems to be the only being that can rebel against his own body.

"The time has come, Helfas!"

Zi shouted, causing Helfas to come back to his senses from the unwilling shouts of the dead.

Another version of himself suddenly appeared in front of him, a young and healthy version of himself floating in the air. I don't know if Zi did it on purpose, but the pose he made was clearly that of the original person.

Lower your head, close your eyes, open your arms, and fold your feet together.

Originally, he planned to completely decouple from his current body at the last moment of its birth and merge into that body to prevent it from giving birth to a new consciousness and personality.

But before Helfas had time to act, the body was annihilated and disappeared into the air.

Disappeared without a trace.

There is no evaporation, or excess matter escaping, it just disappears.

Zi's ​​hand slowly fell, with strong doubts in her eyes, and the swirling red blood sea vortex under her feet gradually sank.

"How is this going?"

"Where did you go?"

Helfas also looked at this scene, but his expression didn't show much surprise; he seemed to understand, but still couldn't understand.

There is a force that prevents black-haired people like Helfas from appearing, or that such existence cannot be created artificially. This is something he has long sensed.

But he didn't understand why the black-haired man was not allowed to be created. He had inspected this body many times. There might be some secrets, but it was obvious that it did not have some power beyond the myth or even something close to the myth.

If all this has nothing to do with strength.

Could it be that some kind of law in the dark is saying that even resemblance is not allowed?

Even if this is true.

So what kind of existence can extend its will and power to a certain corner of the world, making a certain form a taboo and not allowing its birth?

Does such power really exist?

But no matter what, this failure shows that their move does not seem to work.

"Let's use the old method!" Helfas said to Zi who was confused and looking around for what went wrong.

"Would you like to try again?" Zi did not refuse, but still asked.

"I don't think it will succeed. This power has exceeded the limit of what we can contact." Helfas said.

first.

He felt a sense of fear about his body and appearance.

A person will be afraid of his own appearance, his body and shape. This may be ridiculous to say, but it is a fact.

"That's it." Zi didn't ask why she felt that way, but she would not go against Helfas's wishes.

The next time the venue is still in the same place, but the layout has been changed to another level.

In the records library.

The built bookshelf became taller, like a steel jungle, and Zi also appeared more cautious. She even revealed her extraordinary body.

Steel shelves and books were built layer by layer on top of the dome. The giant goddess was sitting cross-legged on the ground wearing a veil and a crown, holding a scepter, looking at Helfas at her feet.

Helfas stood where he was and took one step forward.

But his body fell to the ground, and what came out was an illusory soul body, floating towards the goddess.

The goddess raised her scepter high and pointed it at Helfas's soul.

The light falls from the scepter, and the soul faces the light as if it is rushing to the Kingdom of God and accepting the salvation of the goddess.

It starts with the touch.

The flesh and blood continues to extend.

The body was reshaped and perfected step by step.

But it was obvious that it was the old Herfas. Zi's face became serious, and she increased her power output.

It can be seen that the body gradually became younger under the forcible twisting of Zi's power. Joy immediately appeared in her eyes, and she seemed to be deeply relieved.

Helfas controlled his body and slowly opened his eyes. He slowly landed on the ground, then looked at his hands and touched his face.

Young, strong and full of vitality, skin becomes like a child's.

"It seems to have worked."

Helfas smiled and raised his head to look at Zi.

Ziye smiled and nodded: "Succeeded."

"It doesn't look like it's as bad as I thought," Helfas said.

The bookshelves were scattered one by one, and the naked Helfas put on a new set of clothes, which seemed to symbolize a new life in a certain sense.

But he didn't notice that his soul was covered with a layer of darkness.

—

Helfas did not tell others about making a new body and becoming young again. After all, this could be said to be his biggest weakness, and it might cause huge trouble if caught.

He just summoned more night lights, as well as the main members of the Sealed Court and the Dragon Court than before, and asked about the recent changes in the entire land and the extraordinary world.

It worked.

His body still has at least a few decades left, and the next success can continue.

It seems that he can really continue to last forever by himself, until he leads this civilization to a height that he feels satisfied with.

Night Light came to the Central Record Library again. Compared with the last time, he was even older. This deep road was extra long for him in his old age, but even if Helfas had allowed him to use external force to pass it, , he still insisted on taking a step into the depths to see Helfas.

It seems that for him this is not just walking up a set of steps and embarking on a road, but a pilgrimage.

After saluting, he looked at the Black King and said, "I have already made my choice."

Helfas knew what he meant. He had made a choice about the sealed artifact Night Light that carried his wisdom and memory, and he was also mentally prepared.

Ye Lantern's health was very poor. He had a premonition that he only had a few years left, so he stopped waiting.

If done in advance, the success rate will be higher.

certainly.

If he wants to succeed, he will definitely need some additional assistance. Although the body required by a dragon professional is not as special as that of an original professional, especially today when the method of job transfer is gradually mature, the difficulty is to find the dragon and the will to fight against the dragon. But the night light still doesn't meet the requirements.

Helfas looked at the old man who had followed him for thirty years, and because of his order, he would follow his will and ideals again until the next thousand years or even longer.

He wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he felt it was redundant.

But how could Night Light not see what Helfas was thinking, he said: "It is my honor to follow you further into the future."

Helfas nodded and asked him: "What kind of sealed artifact is that?"

Night Lamp said: "The shape is like a lamp, but it is not a lamp that uses oil, but a lamp that can store and use the power of thunder."

Helfas knew that sealed object because he had recently made it with his own hands using the Book of Sealing. He had spent a lot of the mythical blood accumulated from the Black Iron Dragon clan over the years, and he had personally stamped it with the law. .

In the early years, a variant of the Black Steel Furnace appeared about accumulating the power of thunder. However, the firepower can be used to make steel, but there has been no conclusion on how to use the power of thunder. It seems that it is not very useful in other aspects except for attacking. .

Until one day, Helfas said, "Don't thunder have light? Why can't it be made to glow slowly to create a lamp?"

Maybe it's because he really has some kind of innate ability to know the mysteries of the world, or maybe it's because the existence of his position can change too many things in one word. In recent years, someone has really made this lamp that can be used Lamp of thunder power.

The accumulated firepower is called fire gas, and this kind of lamp that accumulates the power of thunder and lightning was also named the black steel electric steam lamp by Helfas.

And this recently perfected third-level sealed object, black steel electric lamp, is not just a lamp.

It is actually a huge and complex sealed object. Its structure is composed of the weird energy that can give birth to thunder, the black steel furnace that accumulates the power of thunder to accumulate electricity, and the iron network that stretches across the city. Finally, there is the one A light that shines in front of others.

Once it is completed, the entire Helfas will truly become a city that never sleeps beyond the times.

But such a thing is obviously difficult to copy. Even if you know how to make it, the outside world will probably still maintain oil lamps and the old way of life for many years to come, until one day there are more black iron dragons, and the black iron dragon passes by once As the reincarnation becomes stronger, perhaps this situation will change.

This seems to be a product that should not appear at this stage of civilization, but it appears in a strange era. Everything in this era relies on the evolution and advancement of life, including various technologies.

Night Light: "For that third-level sealed object that inherited the Black Steel Law, I still used some of my privileges. After all, I have been a priest of the Court of Heaven for so many years, but many people are still unconvinced."

Maybe there is such a problem, but it is definitely not as exaggerated as Night Light said. The things he has done and the prestige he has accumulated over the years in charge of Gaotian Court are still very high.

Helfass: "Do you want to hang yourself in my library?"

Night Light laughed loudly: "This way no one will say that this library is dark anymore. Every time I come here, I want to make it brighter, so that my old and dim eyes can see more clearly." I see you."

Helfas felt a little funny and a little touched.

But suddenly, his expression froze.

Extremely shocked.

It seemed that something happened beyond his expectation.

Helfas lowered his head and looked at his body. With his naked eyes, he saw bursts of invisible light spreading outward.

"What's wrong with you?"

Night Light looked at it in surprise and noticed Helfas's abnormal state. He rarely saw this kind of expression on the other side. In his memory, the other side was always calm and composed.

And in Helfas's eyes, he saw that his skin and flesh began to become distorted.

His body is aging at an accelerated rate, at more than a hundred times the normal rate.

And this wasn't the most terrifying thing. He also saw that the connection between his soul and body was generating a powerful force, turning into terrifying radiation and spreading toward the outside.

Helfas saw the radiation rushing toward the night light, and he immediately raised his hand.

"go out!"

A force lifted the night light and pushed it out of the Records Library.

And soon, layers of iron bookshelves surrounded him. When the night light flew out, he could only see that the bookshelves were like doors closing, isolating Helfas and locking him in the boundless darkness.

"Lord Helfas!"

Night Light shouted, but Helfas didn't respond at all. He had no time to care about anything else.

—

As soon as something happened on Helfas' side, Zi from the Garden of Order in the distance immediately sensed it.

"Boom!"

The ground suffered a violent blow, violent shocks spread, and the entire city of Helfas seemed to jump.

Immediately afterwards.

The terrifying river of blood swept into the sky, and then poured into the Central Record Library.

A river of blood stretched across the sky, and the whole world turned into blood red.

This horrifying scene scared the entire city to the point where they dared not speak. Those extraordinary professionals looked at the sky one by one, wondering what was going on, and their hearts were extremely frightened.

Zi instantly appeared in the library and looked at Helfas who was standing between the fireplace and the desk. Her extraordinary eyes not only saw that Helfas's body was aging rapidly, but also It can also be seen that there are layers of strange traces of pollution on Helfas's soul.

That once shining, transparent and holy soul.

It is being eroded bit by bit by filth.

Aging and pollution of the soul appear at the same time. Perhaps this is the meaning of misfortunes never coming alone. When disasters come, they will not let you solve them one by one, but will crush you like a mountain.

Destiny also seems to know how to beat up a drowned dog, and knows **** you while you are sick.

Zi's ​​always cold face finally had a layer of disbelief and anxiety.

Helfas saw a strong panic rush into her beautiful face, and then she ran towards him quickly.

Helfas immediately stopped her and said loudly.

"Don't come here, something is eating away at everything around me."

But Zi still ignored it and reached out to grab Helfas. She originally wanted to inject extraordinary power to alleviate Helfas's problem, but she found that the problem was even more serious.

Helfas is aging at an accelerated rate, and his soul is being eroded at an accelerated rate.

The other party is rapidly passing through youth, prime age, and then reaches old age.

In the blink of an eye, he surpassed his previous appearance.

Also becoming more senile.

Zi immediately let go of her hand, feeling cold and at a loss: "How could this happen?"

But when Helfas saw this scene, he seemed to finally understand something: "That's true."

But he had no time to think too much, because the power of distortion produced by the fusion of life species and wisdom species was not only devouring him, but also brought madness and despair into his consciousness, and he immediately shouted.

"Zhizhu!"

Call him by his true name and use his power.

Helfas barely maintained his will, but the physical distortion did not stop at all.

The powerful power of radiation distortion spreads and gradually covers the entire Central Records Library. You can see that the bookshelves have become flesh and blood one by one, and the surrounding books seem to have come alive and have life.

Even the desk in front of Helfas had strange knobs growing out, and some kind of organ was even faintly squeezed out of the fireplace behind him.

But at this time, another surprise occurred.

When the power of distortion is about to spread.

A force locked onto him.

This scene has appeared before. When the Bronze Dragon King killed the black iron dragon when he was making the Book of Sealings, the power of distortion appeared. In the end, an invisible force wiped out the spreading power of distortion.

But compared to the Bronze Dragon King Saronen, Helfas saw more.

He raised his head, and his powerful spiritual perception seemed to take him across layers of space to see an unknown place.

very quiet.

It's like there's no life there that dares to speak out, and maybe they don't need to speak out.

It was raining in the sky, and there were light "big umbrellas" spread out on the sky, like the light and white skirts of the goddess.

The ground was covered with a green carpet, extending directly to the end of the sky. Countless terrifying shadows were squirming in the rain. They couldn't see clearly, but they were definitely inhuman giants.

Bizarre.

beauty.

It also contains deep terror.

As his vision kept getting closer, he seemed to vaguely see an altar in the depths, with a huge eye staring at him on the altar.

"Buzz!"

The moment he looked into those eyes, the terrifying madness approached him again, telling him not to look directly at the other person.

"Zhizhu!"

But he shouted the name of Zhizhu and anchored himself again.

At the same time, the abnormal light in his body seemed to be swallowed up, all of it was taken away by that eye.

Helfas also felt that part of his contaminated soul had been swallowed up, but fortunately, the power interrupted the distortion on Helfas.

After everything stopped, Helfas fell to the ground weakly.

Zi approached and tried to pull him up, but Helfas grabbed Zi's hand and slowly stood up.

Helfas felt like he had a splitting headache, and his body seemed to be split in half. He was missing something, but he didn't know where it was.

It's like people have lost something in the corner of their memory, but you never know what you have lost.

Zi was at a loss and didn't understand what had just happened.

Helfas saw Zi's expression and talked about his guess.

"Remember what I told you before?"

"When I found the Sealed Book, I brought the orichalcum coffin with me, but I also brought the body of my previous life with me."

"And it is impossible for truly complete mortal objects to pass through the realm of the gods."

Helfas looked at Zi and talked about what happened nearly a thousand years ago.

"Since the complete person you created in the past had a special bloodline and became a source of professionals on the original path, how could my body, which was completely created by your power, contain no extraordinary power at all. "

“It may be little, but it’s certainly not none.”

"I once told you that it is impossible for me to obtain your power because my soul is rejecting it. What you just saw may be the result of the fusion of the two powers."

Although the extraordinary power contained in this body is very weak, Helfas has experienced it once and twice.

By this third time, some traces finally began to show.

Especially this time, Zi used more powerful power in order to forcibly reverse Helfas's aging state.

She may have had good intentions, but it seemed to have had worse consequences.

However, Herfas did not elaborate on this point, but what was known made Zi feel extremely sad.

She looked at Helfas's face, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

"I have no idea."

"I really don't know...I didn't know this would happen..."

Helfas laughed.

"What's wrong with you? You didn't do anything wrong."

"purple."

"You only have kindness towards me, but no obligations."

He said.

"If it weren't for you, I would be trapped in that darkness forever."

"You gave me two lives, made me feel the warmth and comfort of this world, and allowed me to do many incredible things. What else can I be dissatisfied with?"

"Now it just proves what I once suspected. Everything has a price, and there is a reason behind everything."

“It would be unreasonable to come to this beautiful world without paying anything.”

Zi: "I want you to stay in this world forever and be a truly immortal god."

Helfas: "You are more greedy than me. I still want everyone to fly into the sky freely!"

Zi: "I just want you to stay in this world alone, just like when I carried you on my back to travel across the land and live on a small island together, even if there is no one else in this world."

Helfas's laughter slowly stopped, and he suddenly looked at Zi with some worry.

But at this time, the noise from outside came in.

The movement just appeared.

The scene of Zi entering the Central Records Library was watched by everyone. Everyone didn't know what happened, so they were naturally extremely panicked.

Helfas took Zi out and immediately made arrangements.

soon.

Dragons hovered in the sky, informing the city and surrounding towns of the success of an experiment.

"The extraordinary experiment on the city that never sleeps has been completely successful. Next, Helfas City will enter the era of the city that never sleeps."

"About the city that never sleeps..."

After hearing the dragon's voice~lightnovelpub.net~ everyone understood what happened.

"It turns out to be an experiment!"

"The city that never sleeps, I know this."

"It is said that the Lord of Darkness borrowed the power of thunder from the sky and surrendered it, allowing it to illuminate the entire city."

"so smart?"

"I heard it's called a gas lamp."

"Incredible."

Many people in the city had vaguely heard of the so-called "Nightless City" plan, and their originally anxious hearts immediately calmed down, and they even began to look forward to what a city without night would be like.

The small abnormal situation that happened before seemed not to be taken seriously by anyone. (End of chapter)
