Chapter 335 [Ember Shelter] [Mysterious Ice Coffin]

Chapter 335 [Ember Shelter] [Mysterious Ice Coffin]

"...Only the power of gods can fight against gods?"

Shane repeated Jane's words with a slightly strange expression.

Technically speaking, he doesn't really believe in any god.

Whether it is [Lord of Radiance] or [Lord of Darkness], they are only related by chance.

As for the conventional beliefs of the Seven Seas, such as [Storm Goddess] and [God of Steam and Steel], Xia En has only been exposed to them from his own crew members.

So...

The "power of gods" in Jane's words refers to the [Great Dark Sky] itself?

But this kind of power was clearly understood by Xia En through his own efforts. How could it be related to gods?

Or, what Jane refers to as "gods" is...

Shane shook his head and got rid of the ridiculous thoughts in his mind.

Next to him, Joey heard Jane's words and thought: "Is it the power of gods? Let me give it a try."

After that, Joey softly chanted a mysterious ancient spell.

At the same time, the divine temperament on her body became more and more obvious, and her fair little face had a faint holy light.

"Huh? This kind of breath..."

Lewis and Nana of the [Dragon Pirate Group] couldn’t help but change their expressions.

As pirates who ventured on the sea, of course they came into contact with the Deep Sea Church that believed in the Storm Goddess.

Basically every time before going to sea, Lewis would go to the church of the Deep Sea Church to pray.

It can be said that they are all potential believers of the Storm Goddess. They at least hope to return safely under the protection of the Storm Goddess.

However, at this time, as the chanting continued, the expression on Joey's face became more and more similar to the statue of the Storm Goddess.

Standing in front of her, Lewis even felt like... standing in front of the Statue of the Storm Goddess!

"Is she the ship's chaplain on the [Black Swan]?"

"By the way, her voice...that singing voice before was also her handiwork!"

Lewis suddenly recalled the singing just now, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

The [Dragon Pirate Group] is now in decline, but there was still a period of prosperity in the past, and there were even legendary strongmen.

Therefore, as the current leader of the [Dragon Pirate Group], Lewis is still a little proud.

After meeting his counterpart [Black Swan], Lewis inevitably had some thoughts of comparison.

However, Lewis was shocked by the little girl Xian Ge who appeared earlier.

The methods and temperament displayed by Joey right now are even more extraordinary.

As for the rational and wise old woman next to him wearing a black gauze skirt, Lewis couldn't see through it at all!

"There is indeed a crouching tiger, hidden dragon on board the [Black Swan]..."

Lewis sighed in his heart, glanced at his sister worriedly, and was not optimistic about her ideas.

Nana is already considered extremely talented in the [Dragon Pirate Group], and her strength has improved extremely quickly.

But if you go to the [Black Swan], it will probably seem ordinary.

But at this time, Nana didn't think so much at all. She just looked at the process of Joey casting the spell with a look of surprise.

I saw an invisible wave surging in the air, rushing towards the ice crystal monster that had lost its ability to move.

The moment it came into contact with the invisible waves, the body of the ice crystal monster suddenly stiffened.

Visible to the naked eye, the polymerization speed of the broken ice crystals began to slow down.

Not only that, a strange change occurred on the smooth face of the ice crystal monster.

Those ice crystals changed and squirmed like flesh and blood, and finally a human face emerged.

"Huh?"

Xia En frowned and stared at this face.

It can be seen that this is an ordinary-looking adult man. His facial features made of ice crystals are twisted together, making him look extremely ferocious.

Then, it opened its empty mouth and let out a silent wail.

Despair and pain intertwined on its face.

Just looking at this scene, everyone seemed to empathize and understand the suffering he had endured for thousands of years.

"These monsters are actually transformed from the residents of [Great Yan Kingdom]!"

Daisy opened her eyes wide and murmured: "This kind of torture is simply more cruel than any torture."

Alessio also showed a look of intolerance in his eyes and said angrily.

"Why would that person do such a thing? It's really unforgivable!"

It's a pity that it's not humans who do this kind of thing, but gods!

Xia En buried these words silently in his heart, and at the same time observed the changes of the ice crystal monster in more detail.

In his perception, as he came into contact with Joey's divine secret power, the filthy secret power in the ice crystal monster seemed to be decreasing.

Obviously, that is the manifestation of [Hui Siming]'s power being eliminated.

This is probably what Jian said, "Only the power of the gods can defeat the gods."

Thinking about it, if Feiya was here, she could use the steam magic blessed by the [God of Steam and Steel] to purify this filthy power.

Although [Ultimate Siming] is an alien god from the [Secret Sea], his status seems to be slightly higher than that of the local gods.

But this is the [Seven Seas World] after all, and the local gods should still be able to compete with each other in terms of secret power.

However, it will obviously take some time for Joey to completely eliminate the power of [Husi Ming] and kill this ice crystal monster.

It was in sharp contrast to the situation where Xia En easily crushed them to death.

Realizing this, Xia En once again became strongly curious about the fact that he could completely kill the ice crystal monster.

suddenly.

An idea popped into Shane's mind.

After all, what is the difference between the power of gods and the power of ordinary mystics?

When Xia En thinks about it, the difference between the two probably lies in... level!

The level of the power of the gods is far higher than that of the ordinary secret power, so at the same level, the ordinary secret power cannot compete with the power of the gods.

An inappropriate metaphor.

If we say that ordinary secret power can break a big stone and change its physical properties.

Then the secret power of the gods can directly turn a big rock into a pile of ice cubes, and directly change a thing on a smaller level.

This is the difference between the two!

This is why ice crystal monsters that are shattered by fists, kicks or ordinary spells will be reborn again and again.

Because ordinary secret power cannot destroy the filthy divine power in the monster's body, and only the outer body is destroyed.

The fundamental reason why Xia En can kill them is obviously...

[Secret Power of the Void]!

In the last promotion ritual, the test that Xia En underwent was to complete the transformation of his secret power and thereby break through the [World Barrier] around him.

That promotion can be said to be Xia En's most dangerous experience.

Fortunately, in the end, Xia En was successfully promoted and mastered the powerful and unique power of [Secret Power of the Void].

Able to imitate and assimilate most secret powers in the world;

Faintly transcending the world of the Seven Seas;

You won't notice it even if you are lurking in the enemy's body...

These characteristics have already proven the extraordinary power of [Secret Power of the Void].

It can even be said that [Secret Power of the Void] already has the prototype of the power of a god!

Only this can compete with the filthy divine power.

After thinking about this, Xia En suddenly became enlightened and many of his doubts were answered.

He thought of another question——

Since the level of the god's secret power must be higher than the ordinary secret power.

So, does it mean that the sublimation of secret power is also one of the prerequisites for becoming a god? Before Xia En could continue to think deeply, the ice crystal figure in front of him changed again.

As the filthy secret power dissipated, the face of the ice crystal humanoid became more concrete, and some human emotions finally appeared on that face.

It was as if the rationality that had been lost for many years had finally returned to this body temporarily.

Seeing this, Nana was surprised and said: "He seems to want to say something!"

The ice-crystallized man opened his mouth. Although he didn't make any sound, everyone could vaguely understand his words through lip reading.

He is saying...

[Please...kill me! 】

Everyone couldn't help but fell silent.

For these souls imprisoned in the bodies of ice crystal monsters, the long years have long caused alienation between their minds and bodies.

Even if the remaining filthy secret power is eliminated, they cannot return to normal.

In other words, the souls of these people have long been integrated with the filthy secret power, and they are no longer distinguishable from each other.

Only death can bring them true relief.

However, with Joey's use of the power of the storm, he cannot directly kill this ice crystal monster in a short time.

So, Xia En took a step forward and gently tapped the man's forehead.

[Secret Power of the Void] easily seeped into the cracked ice crystals and quickly spread throughout the man's body, erasing the remaining filthy secret power along with his soul.

Click... click...

As the ice crystals shattered, the man's face showed a look of relief and relief.

He opened his mouth again and mouthed the words.

"Thank you... thank you..."

The next moment.

The ice crystals were scattered all over the place and showed no signs of coming together again.

However, instead of becoming relaxed, the atmosphere among everyone became even heavier.

People are vaguely aware that the truth and blood and tears buried under this ruin may be beyond their expectations.

After a while, it was Xia En who spoke first.

"Let's go."

Led by Xia En, the group began to walk deeper into the ruins.

After taking a closer look inside the building, Xia En discovered that its structure was very different from what he had previously thought.

The building does take on the shape of a tall tower, but it is an inverted spire.

The area becomes narrower as you go down, and the whole area looks like a wedge embedded in the ice.

This structure is actually very unreasonable. It is difficult to imagine how it would stand on the ground without ice.

But with the ice layer made of solid ice, the inverted spire is firmly embedded in the ice layer.

"Could it be that... when they were building this kind of spire, they thought that a freezing event would happen?"

A guess suddenly popped up in Xia En's mind and he thought to himself.

"In other words, this is actually a shelter prepared by [Great Yan Kingdom] for civilians?"

"But why did the people in this shelter turn into such ice monsters?"

Soon, as the group moved forward, what they saw along the way also confirmed Xia En's guess.

The walls and ceiling of the lower level of the ruins are actually very similar to the materials Xia En saw in the [Ember Treasure], also known as the [Ember Shelter].

It also reveals an indescribable sense of technology.

"What kind of material is this wall made of? I'm curious..."

Daisy touched the silver-gray wall next to her in surprise. The touch from her fingertips was cold and hard, which seemed to contain a unique secret power. She couldn't help but sigh.

"...It doesn't look like a product of our world."

The knowledgeable Jane explained: "It is said that the King of Salaries seemed to have received an extremely rich inheritance from another [Secret Realm] with a very high level of technology."

"The technological level of the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] has grown rapidly, far exceeding that of other kingdoms at that time."

"This special wall should be the product of advanced technology."

Hearing this, Xia En was also a little surprised.

A ship with an old age is like a treasure!

Secrets like this are really not easy to know unless Xia En personally reads the books in the [Federal Library].

On second thought, it was the same. Since Jane knew the transmission ritual between [secret realms], federal officials also found the entrances to other [secret realms].

It shows that from a long time ago, the Secret Pathers began to research and explore the [Secret Realm].

It is not particularly strange that King Xin could obtain a [Secret Realm] inheritance by chance.

And this can also explain why [Great Yan Kingdom] could become the most powerful country in the world at that time in just a few decades.

"So that's it."

Alessio nodded, but soon his eyes were drawn to a nearby room with an open door.

"This is..."

Xia En and others looked into the room and couldn't help being slightly surprised.

The inside of this room is a quite spacious space, with a large piece of land that looks like farmland covered by a glass cover.

Those fields should have been planted with various crops, but now there was only a cold desolation.

Seeing this scene, Xia En felt enlightened.

Unlike [Ember Shelter], this shelter also has fields for self-sufficiency.

It can be seen that this shelter is probably more complete than the [Ember Shelter].

Unfortunately, they didn't seem to work as well as they should have in the end.

What I saw and heard after that also illustrates this point.

In addition to the "growing room", Shane also saw a space used for entertainment and fitness, and a room for storing books.

All this shows that the shelter was designed to survive inside for a long time.

Compared with this place, the former [Ember Shelter] looked like a half-finished product that had been built in a hurry.

On the way, everyone also encountered some ice crystal monsters again.

But with Shane present, these monsters didn't pose much of a threat.

Xia Endu granted them merciful relief.

"Have you ever felt that it seems to be getting colder around here?"

At this time, Joey let out a breath and asked a little strangely.

"Indeed..."

Daisy nodded: "And I don't know why, I always feel uneasy."

Not only them, Xia En also noticed that there seemed to be something dangerous deep in the spire.

And soon, when they reached the last level of the inverted minaret.

In front of everyone's eyes, a smooth and hard ice coffin appeared.

A beautiful woman is lying peacefully in the ice coffin...
