Chapter 129(1/2)
Bottom of the River Styx.
The "giant face" hanging upside down slowly immersed in the water of the Black River, and a strange smile overflowed from the vertical pupils of the traveler... At this moment, the two people who were looking directly at each other shuddered in their hearts and felt a powerful force.
The spiritual power enveloped him.
This is simply not a force that ordinary people can resist.
"I...can't move..."
Mu Wanqiu looked pale and spoke with great difficulty.
In fact, when the traveler cast his gaze, her right to speak was gradually deprived of her.
The water of the Heihe River within a ten-mile radius was frozen.
Her thoughts also began to freeze.
But Gu Shen's condition is better. After three transcendences, his mental power can still maintain the most basic operation... at least he can analyze the situation in front of him.
The traveler has broken through the portal of the [Old World].
This was no longer a "difficulty" that he and Mu Wanqiu could solve. Even if Osmond and the hundred extraordinary people who restarted the mission were added... it would not make any sense.
Only God can fight against God.
But why...the Queen hasn't arrived yet?
Before his thoughts were completely frozen, Gu Shen squeezed out a ray of energy and entered the ruler of truth.
The flow of time becomes slower.
…
…
In the mottled space of light and shadow, the reflection of the towering hanging tree seemed to become more real, casting more shadows in the dark world. The devil was still hidden in the mist, unwilling to meet Gu Shen.
"Deal, I want a deal!"
This was the first time that Gu Shen took such initiative. He came to this place through trance and got straight to the point!
According to the conversion of ten to one time flow rate.
He may only have a few dozen seconds... No one knows when the "traveler" outside will take action and use the power of that big guy to smash himself to pieces. It will only take a moment!
"Oh……"
In the dark mist, a joking chuckle sounded.
“Now you know there’s going to be a deal?”
The devil slowly leaned forward, its outline standing out from the mist.
Gu Shen squinted his eyes slightly. Although the situation was very anxious at the moment, he still noticed some changes in details. The devil's throne seemed to have moved... It didn't seem to be here when he last saw it.
It's just that the spiritual space of the Ruler of Truth is a mottled reflection of large areas, without any reference.
And moving the throne is not a big deal.
This discovery was put aside by Gu Shen.
"You are more powerful than I thought. You can break through the unprecedented 'Three Transcendences' and kill the Blessed Son across great realms." The devil tapped the bench and smiled leisurely: "Gu Shen, you are indeed a genius. Continue.
Across the border.”
Gu Shen had already been mentally prepared.
This guy in the Rule of Truth was rejected by himself over and over again.
This time I asked for a deal, and inevitably I had to be teased... As for the time countdown that kept passing in the real world, it was obvious that this time it was the devil's turn to not care.
"As you wish..." Gu Shen gritted his teeth and said, "Now that I have taken the initiative to beg you to trade, just tell me whether to trade or not to trade."
The devil warned himself before.
Deep in the River Styx, there lies a being countless times more terrifying than Meng Xiao!
It can be seen from this that it has always known that on the other side of the Styx [Gateway] is the eighth divine seat - "The Traveler"!
"..."
The devil was silent for a second, then regained his composure and asked, "What price are you willing to pay?"
"call……"
Gu Shen took a deep breath and said, "I can give you the control of this body, but I will only give you ten minutes..."
The devil seemed to have heard a big joke.
"What can you do in ten minutes?"
"You don't want to beat him to death, do you think of me as Gu Changzhi in his heyday?!"
It patted the bench vigorously, then stretched out its long fingers, pointed at the "traveler"'s eyebrows through the spiritual black mist of the ruler of truth, and sneered: "Did you see it? That is a genuine fragment of the gospel box.
'!Although it was taken out of the gospel box six hundred years ago
When I left, this fragment was left in the old world. I didn't have time to experience the baptism of orderly essence, so it can't be regarded as a mature 'fire'... But this guy has at least smelted the power of fire, even with a casual punch.
, it can also directly knock down a thousand-meter-high mountain."
It sighed and shook its head: "If you only give me ten minutes, the only thing I can do is to dig a beautiful and exquisite coffin for you under the River Styx before he kills me!"
Gu Shen fell silent.
"Then what do you want?"
He suddenly felt that this transaction seemed not as simple as he thought.
The devil looked directly at him, and his face in the black mist seemed to reveal a smile.
In the stalemate, the spiritual space of the Ruler of Truth was silent, and the time in the real world passed by like this little by little.
"Haven't you seen it yet?"
The devil is sitting on the throne, his voice is very soft and full of emotion, like a hunter who has finally waited for the opportunity to kill, looking at the prey that has fallen into the trap: "I... don't want anything."
Gu Shen was stunned.
Don’t want anything?
This sentence has two meanings. The first level is that the devil pays for nothing and provides free help.
At this moment, it is obviously the second type...
It refuses to trade.
"Ten minutes, a hundred minutes... it makes no difference to me." The devil said calmly: "You are not a qualified host. I want to see... you die in the River Styx, die here."
There was a bang in Gu Shen's mind, and he was enlightened.
"From the moment of the black silver seal, we actually have no chance to negotiate." The black shadow of the throne said faintly: "People like you will never make a deal with the devil, right? But there is
Others are willing, and there are plenty of others in the world."
Others... Gu Shen knew that beside him, there was a candidate who fit the devil's wishes.
She is also S-level, equally talented. Mu Wanqiu could not resist the temptation of the Styx Dream before... Her mental power is indeed strong, but if she really comes into contact with the Rule of Truth, she will most likely be tempted by the devil.
Fall.
"I see."
Gu Shen lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "So, no matter what conditions I put forward, you will refuse."
From the very beginning, I stepped into a trap of gathering.
Those deals thrown out by the devil are not important.
What he values is not the "small favors" he gives out...
He wants to overturn the chessboard.
Looking for the next host again!
As long as you come to the River Styx, step into the portal, and touch the statue, you will definitely reach this point. At that time, as long as you have the idea of "deal" in your heart and are eager to reach an agreement at the critical moment, you will fall into death.
the abyss.
"good."
The devil's face was expressionless. He had no emotions such as pity, kindness, sympathy, and no other mental fluctuations at this moment, but there was a calmness in his voice that firmly controlled the situation: "I refuse this transaction, you can
Enjoy the last 'countdown' of life in the Rule of Truth
, but everything will come to an end, and you will be like that stupid 'Pluto'... split into countless broken elements floating in the void, leaving only the spiritual legacy that cannot be dismantled, I will
I'll keep it safe for you. After today, everything you have is everything to me."
The last sentence is very informative.
But Gu Shen had no time to care.
He stood in the light and shadow of the Ruler of Truth, silently looking at the arrogant black figure sitting on the throne.
To be continued...
