What age is it, still in the traditional card making

"No, no, there's something wrong with you."

Apponias frowned, suddenly feeling something was wrong.

"You just gave up? This is not your character. You should have sensed something back then, so you sealed Fred away for decades.

You are so paranoid that when you know that Fred may do something dangerous, you actually want to give up and not interfere? "

"It's not that I'm giving up, it's just that I don't know how to stop him."

A flash of light flashed in Apponias' pupils, and he immediately retorted.

"I don't know? If it were you before, I'm afraid you would seal Fred away again. As for whether he has any complaints against you, Ms. Maxine, do you really care?"

She glanced up and down at the elf in front of her, then spoke again:

"Or are you too involved in the drama and really think you are the so-called Miss Morgan?"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Qiong also felt the same way. Ever since Maxine showed herself as "Miss Morgan", he always felt that Maxine had changed a bit.

Miss Morgan's tenderness was not due to her acting skills, but came from her heart. In this elf girl, Ye Qiong could not see the slightest bit of paranoia and madness that belonged to the witch.

It feels like...

Ye Qiong recalled it and said in his own voice:

"The controlled Ann Jones in the Destiny Moon Kingdom."

Yes, that's the feeling.

Now Maxine really seems to have been replaced by a puppet of fate, completely transformed into another person.

He glanced at Apponias and found that the goddess of fate had similar thoughts to his own. She had already mobilized her destiny power and scanned Maxine's body.

This scan indeed revealed some clues.

Although it is very subtle, it can still be barely recognized. This is the trace left after using the power of destiny.

"Did the Goddess of Destiny from the Demonic Continent move her hand?"

"But according to records, didn't this goddess of fate die under the siege of the gods?"

She placed her hand on Maxine's forehead, using this anchor point to penetrate the magic power into the witch's body.

According to her assumption, if Maxine was really transformed into a puppet of fate named "Miss Morgan", there would definitely be threads left in her body.

The people behind the scenes used this thread to treat Maxine as a puppet and arrange her actions at will.

Sure enough, Apponias found a transparent silk thread on the upper left side of Maxine's back.

And this just confirmed her inner thoughts.

Suddenly, Apponias's complexion became a little unhappy.

When did the thread of fate become entangled? It was actually able to hide from her perception.

The person behind the scenes has absolutely no control over the power of fate that she has.

Apponias flapped his black wings and cut off the thread of fate. Then he looked at Ye Qiong and told him everything he had found.

After the thread of fate was cut off, Maxine's pupils lost their brightness in an instant, but with extraordinary willpower, she woke up from her brief coma in just a moment.

She happened to hear everything Apponias had just said.

The witch is extremely smart and immediately knows the purpose of the person behind the scenes.

"not good."

This was the first thing she said after waking up, and then she looked at the opened door.

"Fred is in danger."

This conjecture was not only thought of by Maxine, but also by Ye Qiong and Apponias.

The person behind the scenes obviously has no interest in Maxine. What he is really interested in is probably Fred, who has just gone to Saint Caner City.

Without saying too many words, the three of them immediately started taking action, flying wildly in the direction Fred left.

"Why, I have only been away for a few days, why has the empire turned into what it is now?"

Looking at the tragic scene below, Fred choked up for a moment, feeling powerless and full of regret.

If I had come back one day earlier, would I have been able to use my own strength to bring about a turnaround for the empire?

Even though he knew that under the god's plan, this possibility was slim, he still wanted to risk his life and take action.

"But it's still too late. If we can block the potholes and find a way to resist the black fog..."

He gritted his teeth and flew towards Saint Kaner City.

What Fred didn't realize was that a black light was flashing in his heart. As he witnessed the tragedy of the empire, the darkness in his heart continued to deepen, and the dark abyss was somewhat beyond his control.

You must know that the so-called extremely dark abyss can not only absorb the negative emotions of the parasitized person, but also the negative emotions born in the surroundings.

The current negative emotions in the Apocalypse Empire are no less than that of the Dark Holy War back then.

This extremely dark abyss can be said to be a feast for the eyes. It continues to expand in size, centered on the heart, and continues to spread around Fred's body.

By the time he arrived at Saint Caner City, Fred was already on the verge of going berserk.

The closer he got to the source of the disaster, the more he hated his own powerlessness and inaction.

Listening to the wailing sound in his ears, the paladin's heart was filled with grief.

His body began to tremble unconsciously. He wanted to roar a few times to vent his depression, but unfortunately, he couldn't do it now.

Fred's throat could no longer make any sound. He held the Sword of Hiera tightly and walked straight towards the source of the disaster.

The corrosion of black mist?

He doesn't care.

Walk towards the pothole with a clear goal.

At this moment, he has forgotten what he promised Miss Morgan before. Now he only knows that if this disaster is allowed to continue, who knows how many people will suffer.

At the beginning, the corrosion of the black mist caused severe pain to Fred, but as he gradually got used to it, his body no longer felt much pain.

Fred did not transform into a fleshless person, possibly because of the influence of the Dark Abyss.

He arrived at the pothole very smoothly.

Looking at the huge hole in front of him, his body instinctively took a step forward. The Sword of Hiera issued a warning at this moment, asking him to retract his left leg.

He looked at the abyss below with lingering fear. A stone happened to roll down. Half a minute later, there was still no sound of falling to the ground.

Fred could feel something calling him in the pit.

There was a constant murmuring in my ears.

"Go in, as long as you go in, you can save everything. Isn't this exactly what you want?"

This voice kept tempting Fred, trying to make him step into the abyss.

The sword of Hiera's sword glowed with white light. It was preventing its master from stepping into the abyss, but with its power, it was impossible to change Fred's mind.

The sights he saw along the way filled Fred with regret. The only thing he wanted to do now was to restore everything and bring the empire back to its former self.

Even if he is not the king, it does not matter even if his actions are not remembered by anyone.

As long as everything can go back to the past, this is the only reason that drives him to act at the moment.

"Wait, don't jump, Fred!"

An anxious female voice came from the horizon, but it was too late now.

At some point, the paladin with blond hair and green eyes was completely shrouded in darkness, and there was nothing in his eyes except the bottomless black abyss in front of him.

With a leap, he jumped into it. This is the place where the souls of the underworld should go. He should have returned here decades ago, but for some reason it was so late.

The expected fear did not come, and at this moment Fred only had the warmth as if he were home.

He closed his eyes and fell into the pit.

This is not an abyss, but a paradise where the souls of the dead can temporarily rest.

The goblin's singing came from his ears, and he enjoyed everything comfortably.

Until a voice came.

"It's earlier than expected. It seems they are really in a hurry."

A pair of big hands caught Fred who was falling, and just threw him casually onto a wool bed.

The white spirit grabbed the four corners of the bed, lifted it up, and then sent Fred deep into the paradise.

Outside the pit, women's shouts kept coming. She was horrified to find that the pit that had left the Apocalypse Empire helpless was actually closed at this moment.

"Teacher Maxine, please go back for now."

Ye Qiong resisted the corrosion of the black mist, took Maxine's right hand, and stopped her.

If he hadn't pulled her, this witch might not have jumped in directly.

He also noticed the closed pothole, and couldn't help but think in his mind that indeed, the target of the person behind the scenes was Fred.

What is His purpose in doing this? What can you get by leading Fred to the underworld?

"The Dark Abyss, the Dark Abyss must have controlled Fred's body and made him jump."

When Ye Qiong heard this, he opened his mouth and repeated it:

"The Dark Abyss? I remember this is a creation that represents the power of the dark side of chaos."

Then his eyes locked on the pothole that was about to be completely closed.

"The end of the pit is probably where the Holy Paradise is. It has the power to attract souls, which represents the power of the chaotic light surface."

He talked to himself and compiled the information he knew so far.

"The seven ghosts and gods represent the soul of chaos. When a suitable body that can accommodate the seven ghosts and gods appears, the consciousness of chaos will be awakened."

"To awaken the consciousness of chaos, do we really have to wait for a suitable container to appear?"

"There is no residual consciousness of the light and dark side forces of chaos?"

"Spencer lied? No, he is bound by the contract and there is no possibility of lying. So he just simply doesn't know?"

"One of the seven prophets of the dignified serial hunting team, there is something he doesn't know?"

At this moment, Ye Qiong's mind was in a mess. He took Maxine's hand and flew in the opposite direction of the pothole.

Although the entrance to the cave is closed, the black mist still remains in St. Kaner City, which will continue to corrode their bodies. This is not a place to stay for a long time.

He and Apponias took Maxine out of the city of Saint Caner despite her resistance.

"I feel something is wrong, they are still accelerating."

The darkness has descended in advance and the era of disorder has accelerated by six hundred years.

Ye Qiong felt that the gods might not only be satisfied with this. After the darkness fell, they did not put on the brakes. Instead, they went full throttle, trying to cut through the mess with a sharp knife.

From this point of view, do they want to use Fred as a suitable person to awaken chaotic consciousness?

No, the true form of the angry ghosts and gods is in Ye Qiong. Unless he dies, it is impossible for Fred to gather all seven ghosts and gods.

"Spencer is hiding something."

This was the first sentence Apponias said after what had just happened.

Her approach was extremely decisive, and she manipulated the power of the Thread of Destiny to call Spencer from the Hidden Earth Forest.

At this moment, Maxine's mood has eased a lot, but it is not difficult to see from her clenched fists that this great witch is completely angry because she was plotted against.

"Where is the Knight of Despair? He didn't continue to observe you?"

"Speaking of it, I really haven't felt the sight of the Knight of Despair. He hasn't appeared for a long time since he went to the Holy Light Church."

"It seems that the rumors are true. The Three Knights are really the referees of the Dark Holy War. If you want to take His sight away from you, this is the only way."

Maxine stood up, her face no longer as broken as before, but it was easy to see from the tears remaining in the corners of her eyes that she really cared about Fred.

"I'm going to the Ghost Church to recruit people, and I'm going to call the witch I know well."

After saying that, he raised his head and glanced in the sky, the meaning in his eyes seemed to say:

"I will make these gods pay."

After that, he chose to leave directly. Apponias looked at the departing figure and silently wrapped the thread of fate around the other person's body.

This approach is not to control Maxine, but to prevent what happened before from happening again.

Lord Gatherer has always been by her side, so there is no need to worry, but this may not be the case for this witch.

After Ye Qiong and Apponias stayed there and waited for a while, Spencer arrived. Before he could take a breath, a questioning voice came.

"Is it true that the only way to awaken the chaotic consciousness is to gather the seven ghosts and gods?"

Spencer didn't know what happened, and Calvis looked angry when he saw him.

Hearing this question, he lowered his head, and after a brief thought, he quickly answered:

"That's the only way it can be done."

"Is there anything we can't do?"

"Yes, but that method ended in failure, so I didn't say it out loud. In theory, that method cannot succeed."

"What exactly is that method?"

"Transplant the Extreme Dark Abyss into the body and enter the Holy Paradise with a physical body. The day when light and darkness reunite is the day when the chaotic consciousness awakens."

"Light and darkness converge?"

"Yes, this is a conjecture of the gods. In order to confirm this conjecture, they have done many experiments, but they all ended in failure."

After that, Spencer was silent for a while, and then continued:

"First of all, people who are transplanted into the extremely dark abyss must be pious in their hearts and cannot harbor any darkness. But this alone has trapped countless people."

"Secondly, this person must be a living dead who has been resurrected. The Holy Paradise will passively receive the dead. Unless the Paradise is filled, there will be no spirit remaining in the world."

"Finally, this resurrected living dead man, this man with extremely dark thoughts in his heart, must do good deeds, and his purpose must be to save others."

"Only people with such contradictions, only people with both light and dark aspects, can guide the light and darkness to converge again and turn into chaos." (End of this chapter)
