Clang! ! !
[Metatron] raised the flaming sword in his hand and slashed at the dense chains. A clear sound of metal collision sounded, and the chains that restricted the underground cave were split into two.
Xia Xiu opened the wooden board, and a stream of air slowly came out. It was not the stinking air that came out when the closed cellar was suddenly opened, but a cool breeze with a hint of freshness.
He opened the floor, and a simple stone step appeared in front of him.
He walked straight down the steps. The [Incarnation of Master Metatron] behind him dispersed the flaming sword in his right hand and raised the "Book of Order" in his left hand.
The white pages of the genealogy book rolled, and then, a ball of light was constructed in an instant.
Under the shining of light, Xia Xiu walked away with [hope], and at the same time, his golden eyes quietly stood up, like the eyes of a snake.
[The Eye of Heavenly Lock] can see in the dark night. The light ball was prepared for [Hope]. She was not afraid at all of the horrifying and unusual scene of the pigherd just now, but she just felt a little disgusted. In the holy When the angel wielded his long sword to destroy the monsters, she stretched out her little hand to cover her nose and looked at the swineherd with disgust.
At this moment, little [Hope] blinked his little eyes and looked curiously at the underground cave.
The blond young man stepped across the nearly square hole in the parquet floor and stepped onto the very worn stone steps.
In the cave, the dim light made it almost impossible to see the front. The light ball floating behind the blond young man moved forward, illuminating the surrounding scene.
The stone steps in the middle of the cave gradually become steeper, like a slope.
“The walls and structures are relatively solid, the surface color has partially changed, and the distortion and falling off of the stone carvings and statues are not serious. It seems that people often come here to worship or offer sacrifices.”
Xia Xiu looked at the surrounding stone walls and the horrifying corpses. His footsteps did not slow down at all.
Gradually going deeper, the stone steps wind up and down, forming a structure that is almost a slope, like entering an underground maze.
"Abraham, I feel the front..."
[Hope] pulled Xia Xiu's blond hair, she stretched out her index finger and pointed somewhere under the cave in front.
Xia Xiu looked in the direction pointed by the other party.
In the shadows ahead, the explorers found a horrifying sight piled up. The ground was littered with bones of humans or humanoid creatures, some of which had turned to dust, while others still retained their horrified postures, as if frozen forever at the moment of death. The gnawing marks left by rodents can be seen everywhere, giving people a sense of death and cruelty.
In the terrifying pit of corpses, there is a shrine.
The shrine is carved from fine white marble and shaped like a small temple. It is about one and a half meters tall, with a square base and four corners carved with exquisite patterns and mysterious symbols, which seem to contain incomprehensible mysteries of the universe.
The front of the shrine is a semicircular arch, and the top of the arch is carved with lifelike lions and leopards, which are pulling a tricycle, which is the vehicle of the Great Mother Goddess.
Around the shrine, there are five essential manifestations of the Great Mother Goddess.
But the things that should have been stored in the shrine have long since disappeared. At the same time, some bad things have also occupied the magpie's nest here.
Those were two flute players with vague shapes, they were like sticky disgusting liquid.
They flowed out of the shrine, smiling foolishly.
The faces of the stupid flute players cannot be seen clearly, only the messy hair sticking up randomly on their heads can be seen. Their bodies seem to be fused together, without clear outlines and shapes, just a blur. of darkness.
The stupid flute players played the flutes in their hands silently, and their movements looked very stupid.
The flute sound is not melodious, but roars aimlessly, as if the terrifying power that has been sealed for a long time has been awakened. Along with the flute sound, there are extremely crazy, indescribable, delirium and crazy words. .
“Crawler of Chaos, the master who straddles reality and dreams, comes from the dark void between stars, your light shines in the endless abyss, driving madness and chaos to dance in the world. God of Many Faces, Your face is endless, terrifying and fascinating, and your voice is like lightning piercing the night, evoking the deepest fears in the world."
"All living things tremble in front of you, unable to resist your power. You are the embodiment of power, the messenger of extinction, and the seed of new life. Your words span time, gain insight into the past, gain insight into the future, and control the present."
"The dark son of the star, your cunning transcends human understanding. Your games are complex and twisted, bringing endless chaos and endless possibilities. Your laughter echoes across the universe, shaking the planet and tearing apart reality. , is a movement of destruction and a melody of innovation.
Despite fear and madness, we bow to you, crawler of chaos, god of many faces, because in front of you, all order will be annihilated. , all reason will collapse, and all hope will die. Only by surrendering to you can we find a new beginning."
The terrifying myth pollution flooded the entire cave like a wave, and everything. Everything was overwhelmed, including the heavenly investigators, the human apostles of the Stag.
The flawless girl with purple hair and purple eyes covered her ears, her eyes watery, staring ahead full of discomfort and anger.
When the flute player appeared, the holy angel behind the blond young man floated in front of his master, holding up the "Book of Order" to order the countless indescribable divine pollutions.
『Book of Order·Order of Things——』
Golden runes wrapped around the angel of heaven, while his golden eyes looked at the flute player in front of him.
"Sure enough, the stars are involved, the God of Thousand Faces..."
Xia Xiu whispered in his heart. At the same time, he also started to counterattack while the flute players were attacking. [Metatron] behind him hung the "Book of Order" over his head, then held a flaming sword, and six pairs of light wings behind him emitted golden light. Light particles that alternate with blue, dazzling light and energy fluctuate around them, forming alternating changes of light and dark.
"Holy Light Master·Particle Leap——"
[Metatron] is the master of light. He has multiple transformations. Xia Xiu has recently tested many applications of the incarnation, such as the same [hat] The [Double Spectrum] derived from the linkage with [Magic], the [Photoelectric Effect] linked with the [Heart Engine], and now the [Particle Jump].
[Particle Jump] allows [Metatron] to jump between different energy levels. This jump is almost instantaneous, allowing it to appear anywhere in an instant, or avoid attacks. .
咻——
[Metatron] appeared in front of the flute player in an instant, and the big sword in his hand transformed into two gorgeous cross swords. In the vision shared with Xia Xiu Inside, the flute players on the opposite side appear densely packed with "X"-shaped symbols, which is their dead center.
"Perfect Prosthetic Eye·Insight into Death——"
Qiang! Clang! Clang!
Countless blows capable of cutting through steel fell on these flute players. Under the dense blows, the stupid flute players played their flutes and began to jump in strange dance steps.
[Metatron] Seven out of ten slashes were avoided by this extremely stupid dance. In the distance, the blond young man narrowed his eyes slightly, and at the same time, his spirituality communicated with the watch on his left hand.
"[Adam], start event recording, record file text name: [Foolish Flutist]."
[Record Start]
"Disciple of the Thousand-Faced God, ability 1, flute sound Manipulation: The stupid flute player can manipulate the power of music by playing the magic flute. His flute music can affect the emotions and feelings of others, change their mentality and behavior, and at the same time, if there are divine beings around them, they can gain thousands of benefits. Part of the God of Faces [Essential Pollution]”
Xia Xiu glanced at the bulging little face next to him and looked at the stupid flute player’s [Hope] angrily.
The current activities of [Hope] rely on his [Heart Engine] for energy supply, so as a human apostle, [Hope] currently has many divine powers that he cannot exert, and because of his previous request, so she fully sensed the only power that could be unlocked and used it to help him find divinity.
Because of the ability of the "Book of Order", he avoided contamination and distortion, and [Hope]'s personality was there, so he would not be contaminated, but the stupid flute player's flute attack exploded her mentality, and she Now he is like a little cat with fried hair, staring at each other with an unhappy face.
“Ability 2, Phantom Sound Confusion: The Foolish Flutist can use flute sounds to create psychedelic musical illusions. These illusions can confuse and deceive the enemy’s senses, distracting them from their attention and judgment, thus making the Foolish The flute player has a chance to fight back. "
There are actually many stupid flute players around [Metatron], but because of the existence of "Perfect Prosthetic Eyes", he keeps catching two. The whole body banged and slashed.
In fact, from Tindaros to the stupid flute player now, Xia Xiu has already discovered a characteristic of these people favored by the stars.
The ability is disgusting and the life is very hard.
A general thaumaturgy is marked by the "Perfect Prosthetic Eye", and the point of death gradually decreases depending on the strength. For example, he once used the "Perfect Prosthetic Eye" to see the Chief Judge of Heaven and found the other party's marked point. It is very small, changes rapidly all the time, and the dead center amount is within single digits, and sometimes cannot even be observed.
But the favored ones of the stars are different. Their death marks are numerous and complex, with thousands of dead spots.
This means that they are not simple individuals, but a conceptual aggregation composed of countless deformed and indescribable things. They are twisted creatures that walk on the earth among the stars and have been soaked by their great will. Sometimes, they can even twist death.
“Ability 3, Flute Dance Dodge: The stupid flute player’s dance steps are strange and flexible. This is some kind of conceptual distortion. Before the dance is completed, they have been in a state of superimposed life and death. In a sense, This ability can evade the blow of the direct death ability."
Xia Xiu looked at the stupid flute player who was dancing funny steps to avoid [Metatron] and summarized the last ability. This is also the opponent's last ability. After summing up, he didn't plan to continue playing with these guys.
The [Kubler] object stored here has been taken away by the guy who created the plague, and the guy also set up two big traps here to trap investigators, especially the last trap is related to the stars. .
"[Adam], now start recording the weaknesses——"
The blond young man picked up two stones from the ground, then, he raised his right hand holding the stones and faced them to hide in embarrassment The biblical angel incarnates and chops down the foolish flutist.
On his right hand, a small Möbius strip appeared on his hand.
『Mobius strip——』
"Space distortion·displacement from beginning to end!" 』
Phew!
Phew!
The roaring sound of the flute suddenly stopped, and the stupid flute players who had maintained a twisted smile showed a little confusion. They found that the familiar flute beside their mouths suddenly changed into two hard stones. , they subconsciously raised their heads and looked forward, where a young man with blond hair and golden eyes held up two flutes, raised his hands at them, and greeted them enthusiastically.
Then, the familiar holy cross sword rushed toward them both with a holy light.
For a moment, the smile froze.
锵——
The light tore their bodies apart.
“It’s just as I imagined.”
Xia Xiu turned one of the flutes with his right hand and began to locate the weaknesses.
"Fragile defense: The stupid flute player is relatively fragile in terms of defense. Although he is protected by phantom sound confusion and laughter, these protective shields have a limited duration and are difficult to withstand powerful attacks.
Depend on music: Stupid The flute player's ability and combat effectiveness are highly dependent on the use of music. If his flute is damaged or loses the ability to play, he will lose his main means of combat."
"Finally..."
The golden eyes of the blond young man casually looked at the two flutes that were beginning to move in his hands. In his sight, a large "X"-shaped symbol appeared on the surface of the flutes.
He threw the flute up casually.
"The flute is their true body."
Phew——
[Metatron]'s figure passed through [Particle Jump] and instantly appeared behind the blond young man, with his right hand moving from left to left The one on the right waved the two flaming swords that merged into one and slashed at the two flutes that leaped upward, slashing towards the node that represented death.
Click——
Click——
The two flutes turned into smoke and drifted in the wind.
[Recording completed! ]
[Already archived in the database——[Stars Illustrated Book·The Favored One]! ]
“I always feel that the investigation work in the future will become more and more troublesome. This is a sign of collapse detected by the Administration and [Adam] in advance. I thought that this kind of thing would kill the other party in the cradle before they cause trouble. The work will be easier, I didn't expect them to be so outrageous in their infancy in the cradle." The blond young man couldn't help but murmured a few words.
The first divine pollution, the second blessing from the stars.
If it were an ordinary investigator, the grass on the grave would be three meters high. At the same time, he yelled in his heart: This damn thing can also be called a "baby".
The baby in the Honkai Cradle seems to be a little too strong.
Xia Xiu complained as he walked towards the empty shrine. The "Book of Order" was still hanging above his head, but the avatar behind him had changed from [Metatron] to [Vashak]. .
He wants to use [Vashak] to review the records of events here.
