Chapter 257: [Ode Papadopolis/City of the First Father](2/2)
The sticky texture and faint pulsation are chilling.
His right hand unconsciously clenched the staff, and the [Seal of Ion] on the back of his hand radiated a burst of heat, responding to the call of the power of flesh and blood.
Then, his eyes slid over other images - the giant made of ice and stone, like the fusion of silent ice and earth; the figure made of stars, with the brilliance and depth of the infinite universe; and the figure made of countless eyes.
An indescribable thing, each eye seems to be staring at a certain corner of the world, exuding an indescribable pressure.
In the front of the picture, a young woman with bright long hair is suspended in the air, her eyes are calm and sharp, and her slender fingers are pointing south, as if she is guiding a certain direction.
Xia Xiu stared at the woman's silhouette, and a question suddenly emerged in his heart - who is she?
What is hidden in the south she points to?
Currently, the two entities in the murals that are known and can be confirmed are: the God of Broken, who covers infinity.
The ice and stone entity, the entity composed of eyes, and the young woman with bright long hair - these three are unknown entities, but it can be guessed that they are, or they are the same existence as the first two.
Xia Xiu stared at the mural, his golden eyes flashing with deep thoughts, but in the next moment, a sudden chill rushed straight down his spine.
It was a warning sign that could not be ignored. The hairs on my body stood on end, and every inch of my skin was stung by an invisible threat.
Without any hesitation, he switched the [Lever of Heaven] to his left hand to hold tightly, and suddenly raised his right hand, calling out his incarnation - [Vashak].
"Buzz——"
Following a low and long sound, [Vashak] raised his index finger and pointed it slightly towards the void.
At that moment, the entire space was instantly shrouded in a gray texture. Everything in the field of vision became still, and time was forcibly removed, leaving behind a picture that looked like an old movie reel.
The roar of lightning and clocks exploded in my ears, echoing in the solid air, forming an almost suffocating silence.
Xia Xiu quickly turned sideways in the gray world that stopped and glanced sharply behind him.
Cold light danced in his pupils, and the surrounding space seemed to be peeled off from a deep dream, and two huge figures emerged - [Sisyphus] and [Metatron].
Xia Xiu didn't pause. He raised his right hand slightly, and the lever in his hand emitted circles of light waves, pointing directly into the depths of the void.
【Leverage of Heaven·Corruption!】
In an instant, the [Lever of Heaven] in his hand suddenly extended, like an infinite line piercing the sky. At the same time, a dazzling light spot began to condense on the top of the silver long stick - [∞].
The light spot was compressed to the limit, and the energy it emitted was like a force that could move a planet.
With this action, [Sisyphus] waved his fist covered with purple-gold runes, the fist tore through the space, and hit the target directly with irresistible vector force.
At the same time, [Metatron] raised the sword burning with blazing flames. The blade was like a torrent of flames, roaring and blasting away into the depths of the void.
In a world where time stops, everything should remain still.
However, in the originally empty corner, a figure slowly emerged.
His figure seemed to be condensed from the void. His white hair and long beard were slightly swaying with the air flow, and his vicissitudes of face showed the traces of time.
The old man was wearing an ancient brown robe, and the quality seemed to span countless eras.
Xia Xiu's golden pupils shrank suddenly because he saw something impossible - in the world where time stopped, the old man moved.
The old man's movements seemed very slow, but they were also strangely very fast.
He stretched out his left hand forward and easily grasped the vector fist of [Sisyphus] tearing apart the space. The purple-gold power surged violently in his palm, but he was unable to break free at all.
And his right hand firmly held the blade of the [Metatron] flame sword. The flames burned crazily, but he suppressed it forcefully.
Then, he turned his wrist slightly and switched the attack directions of the two.
However, as soon as the old man completed this action, Xia Xiu's [Heaven's Lever] stabbed directly at his chest.
"Buzz——"
The time stop is over, only paused for 1.001 seconds.
This is not because Xia Xiu wants to stop, nor is it because of the limitations of the crystal wall of the Naga Ring, but because the amount of observation of a certain existence has suddenly increased. The amount is too large, too much, and the [Time Slot] cannot continue to freeze.
"boom--"
However, even after the time pause ended, [The Lever of Heaven] still hit the old man, the light wave exploded instantly, and the shocking force knocked the old man away.
His figure was like a broken arrow, hitting the stone wall in the distance heavily.
A low roar echoed in the space, but strangely, the stone wall remained unscathed.
The old man's body slowly slid down the wall, and finally stood up steadily. The folds on his robe swayed with the breeze. His eyes raised and scanned Xia Xiu, with an elusive smile in his eyes.
"He has the same type of incarnation and authority as my Vassago."
Xia Xiu held the [Lever of Heaven] in his hand, and the light emitted by the long stick surged like waves, and the three rings of light behind him projected strong pressure as they rotated.
There are three incarnations standing around, [Vashak]'s deep eyes are shining with purple light, [Sisyphus]'s fist faintly shakes the space, and [Metatron]'s light wings are flowing with blazing light.
The three of them were like three insurmountable barriers, firmly guarding Xia Xiu within them.
Opposite him, the old man just patted the dust on his body slightly, his movements slow and calm.
His eyes were still calm, but with an indifference that understood everything.
He raised his eyes to look at Xia Xiu and spoke an unfamiliar language:
"???????????????."
Xia Xiu raised his brows slightly, and a trace of inquiry flashed in his golden eyes. He has not yet fully confirmed the identity of the old man in front of him, but he is certain that the other person cannot be the so-called sage from the Kailasel family. If there is a member of the family
If there really is such a character, he will not be able to hide in the dark lord's march.
What's even more shocking is that the person in front of him was unscathed after being hit by the [Lever of the Sky]'s [Corner Collapse], and even his clothes were not damaged at all. What's more important is that the opponent showed
The power and authority... turned out to be very similar to his incarnation [Vashak]. That kind of absolute control over time and space made Xia Xiu have to re-examine it.
Xia Xiu pondered for a moment, his eyes flashed with golden light, and his voice was low but calm as he responded in Terran language:
"Hello."
At the same time, in his neural network, [Adam] quickly started corpus parsing.
Along with the complex data flow, the system completed the analysis of the language used by the other party in a very short time and matched it with Xia Xiu's corpus.
The result came into his mind, and Xia Xiu's heart moved. The unfamiliar words were actually translated as:
"May you be at peace."
When the old man heard the Terra language, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
He lowered his head slightly, as if silently weighing something, and then slowly raised his finger. His finger lightly traced the air, and the sky responded - a huge stone slab slowly appeared in front of him.
The surface of the stone slab rippled slightly like water waves, and then lines of text began to appear.
The very beginning is what he just said:
【???????????????】
【xa?pe】
【Hallo】
The text immediately scrolled and changed at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye, and gradually evolved into the Terran language that Xia Xiu was familiar with:
【Hello】
After the Terran language "Hello" appeared on the stone slab, the old man's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was thinking deeply about something.
After a moment of silence, he raised his head and spoke slowly. This time, his voice was low and old, with obvious hesitation and unskilledness:
"Welcome to Ode Papadopolis, the City of the First Father..."
His eyes were fixed on Xia Xiu, as if he was trying to confirm something. His words paused for a moment, and the old man seemed to be trying to organize his words and think of a more appropriate way to express them.
There was a touch of ancient majesty and unconcealable temptation in his eyes, as if he was weighing the weight of the person in front of him.
Finally, he continued:
"The owners of the Original Book, the guardians of the Gate of Heaven..."
The solemnity in his tone made Xia Xiu's eyes narrow slightly.
The old man's eyes slowly moved and fell on [Metatron]. There was a trace of complex emotions in those eyes that had been eroded by time, like emotion and reminiscence.
After a few seconds, he bowed slightly, and his deep voice revealed some ancient respect:
Chapter completed!
