Chapter 3980 The Song of the Purple Moon (31) — We are not the beginning, and you are not the end...
The Song of the Purple Moon...Outer Periphery.
The warships flying the flags of the Pirate Alliance headquarters were arranged in a V-shape—they had been waiting there for some time.
Someone is specifically monitoring the situation inside the Song of Purple Moon, but Soaring Tiger has not yet given any further instructions.
"I suspect that Lord [Xiang Feihu] wants to wipe out this group of overheated treasure hunters in one fell swoop... but right now, I'm afraid no one is going to step into [Purple Moon] Song anymore."
"Yes, everything that was supposed to come has already come... I wonder how the war between the treasure hunters and that long-eared tribe is going."
"Why don't we send someone to inquire about it?"
"Look, what's that?! The Song of the Purple Moon seems to be... vibrating?"
In the vast canyon, the cliffs on both sides are rapidly cracking and sliding down!
Amidst the violent tremors, a terrifying gust of air shot skyward from beneath the crack... Just as the [Purple Moon] garrison on the pirate warship was intently observing, a dark shadow suddenly burst forth from the crack—swiftly heading towards a pirate warship!
"What is that...dodge!"
"It's...too late!"
With lightning speed, the black shadow that burst out from the crack had already entangled the pirate warship—when they saw what it was, the Allied guards on the battlefield all gasped!
A tentacle covered with dense suckers, so large that it would be difficult for twenty people to encircle it!
"What the hell is this... an octopus?"
"Oh no, it's going to drag us down!"
The warship's altitude was rapidly decreasing... The ship's propulsion system was torn apart in just a few seconds as it was pulled by the tentacles!
Without its propulsion system, the warship was like a lamb to the slaughter in an instant... The terrified guards quickly tried to jump ship and escape, but unexpectedly, the tentacles that were entangled in the warship immediately secreted more straw-like tentacles, capturing and binding the guards one by one!
Some were impaled, some were suspended...
This happened extremely quickly. The other pirate warships in the sky hadn't even fully reacted yet... but from the crack, hundreds or even thousands of terrifying tentacles suddenly rose out!
Spiritual pollution spreads naturally wherever it touches.
One by one, the pirate warships sank.
Just as the entire Purple Moon garrison was about to be destroyed, a figure was seen rapidly approaching from the outer perimeter of the Purple Moon Song!
The speed was so fast, it was like teleportation.
A flash of light shot out from the figure, instantly transforming into a ray of light parallel to the horizon, streaking across the earth!
The next moment, the tentacles that had burst out from the cracks broke off one by one!
Once the numerous pirate warships were freed, they were immediately lifted into the air, and the guards on board were already drenched in cold sweat... All that could be heard were continuous explosions, the sounds of the falling warships!
"What kind of monster is this...?"
On the lead warship of the garrison, the commander of the [Purple Moon] garrison couldn't help but swallow hard... just as a figure landed directly on the bow of the warship.
He wore a white hempen jacket, an old straw hat, and a knife hanging from his waist that looked like it was just held up by two pieces of wood—more like a woodcutter's knife.
"Are you alright?" The newcomer glanced indifferently at the people on the pilot ship.
Instantly, everyone on the pilot ship fell silent. The commander of the garrison suddenly shuddered, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty! Your subordinate greets the Pirate King!"
The one who severed all the tentacles with a single blow was none other than the King of the Alliance, the Pirate King, Zhang Bolu!
"Alright, that's enough." Zhang Bolu waved his hand casually. "Quickly tally the casualties. That thing down there is not something you can get involved in... Get out of here immediately and seal off this area. Don't let any more curious guys in."
"Yes, yes, I obey!!"
salute!
But Zhang Bolu had already jumped off the warship and directly into the Song of the Purple Moon.
"Quickly... carry out the king's orders!!"
……
The wind is breathing.
Zhang Bolu, one hand on his straw hat, fell into the darkness of the Song of the Purple Moon, as if he were falling into a dark abyss... and in this abyss, tentacles kept surging forth.
Zhang Bolu merely chuckled, and streaks of light emanated from his body, precisely striking each tentacle... until later, whether he had broken all the surging tentacles or the tentacles began to avoid him, hiding in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike, it was unclear.
"Although the process was somewhat unclear..."
Zhang Bolu stood on a natural platform on a cliff, looking deeper into the distance.
"But that guy Boros really did awaken this thing, the Lord of R'lyeh... Well then, let me experience the power of the Great Old Ones from the Old Gods era."
The Pirate King, at this moment, only had surging battle intent in his eyes.
……
……
……
……
Temple space.
Terrifying tentacles grew from the fissures in the temple space, and through the dark light rifts, they invaded the secret realm of the [Laurel] tribe.
Meanwhile, the tentacles that had first appeared had grown to an incredible thickness... with a diameter exceeding one hundred meters!
They were suspended above the entire temple space, seemingly undergoing some kind of hardening... at this moment they looked more like giant tree roots.
"What's going on? The mental pollution here has actually weakened?"
Gerdoff frowned slightly.
Thanks to his and Claude's efforts, Testarossa appeared at the edge of the temple's spatial fissure without even a speck of dust on her.
He subconsciously looked towards the princess he was loyal to.
Testarossa pondered, "It seems that this Lord of R'lyeh is not fully awake, but rather in a semi-awake state."
"Just half-asleep?" Gerdov couldn't help but twitch his brow slightly.
Testarossa said calmly, "It's more like being woken up from a deep sleep and venting a little because of morning grumpiness."
Gazef couldn't help but smile wryly, "Just turned over? A God-level being from the [Old Ones]... that's truly terrifying. If the Lord of [R'lyeh] were fully conscious..."
Testarossa smiled slightly and said, "Don't underestimate yourself. The longer you stay in the [Morning Star] stage, the more benefits you will receive. You are people who possess the title of [Holy Knight], and in this era, your combat strength is no less than that of the so-called [Radiant Moon] level."
Gazef nodded slightly... That being said, without advancing to [Radiant Moon], one cannot transform [Rules of Divine Skill]. No matter how ridiculously one's combat power is amplified, there will always be times when one's strength is insufficient.
However, Her Highness the Princess has always insisted that they develop the [Rules of Divine Skill] to its fullest potential... and ideally, at least elevate it once, before considering advancing to [Radiant Moon].
The Four Knights of the Holy Revelation are basically all at this stage; advancing to the [Radiant Moon] realm will be a matter of seconds...
“Let’s go down,” Testarossa suddenly said. “There seems to be something else down there… It seems that this Purple Moon holds many secrets.”
Upon hearing this, Claude and Gerd continued to diligently pave the way forward.
"Hmm? Your Highness, I can smell that rat's scent from before!" As he descended, Claude's gaze sharpened slightly. "Although it's very faint, that rat is definitely here too."
Testarossa suddenly said, "This magic is almost identical to the special magic that remained where Eva disappeared."
"What?" Gerdrey exclaimed in astonishment, "Could it be..."
“This way.” Claude pointed to the honeycomb-like underground passageways.
Gerdov immediately flew out—there was no other way, he was the only one in the junior position here… This mission was fraught with problems, and in the end, even Her Highness the Princess had to come in person, so Old Gerdov was somewhat embarrassed.
As Testarossa watched Gazef pursue her, her deep red pupils flickered... Her heart was slightly unsettled.
It wasn't panic, just a feeling of gloom.
Is there something special about the road ahead?
……
……
"Whatever you do, don't touch those statues!"
As Ah Xi Ruo approached a statue with its back to the passage and its hands covering its eyes, filled with doubt, the voice of [Coribuso] rang out.
And there was also a hint of urgency in it.
Even the true dragons of Shenzhou, who were somewhat inclined to listen to advice, asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something strange about these statues?"
"Don't go near them, and definitely don't make eye contact with them! Get out of here immediately before they react, or... you'll be in big trouble!" [Coribusor]'s expression turned serious. "Back then, [Kalisorp] paid a huge price to bury them here... but that was all it did, it didn't kill them at all!"
Ah Xiruo and Li Huamei exchanged a glance unconsciously.
Ah Xi Ruo didn't have a clear understanding of the significance of the Old Gods' [Sea God] Kalithorpe, but [Xiang Fei Hu] was clearly not... a statue that even the [Sea God] couldn't kill?
Then, [Corybusch] waved her hands, and the power of primal water quickly condensed into several water mirrors around them, blocking both sides of the passage. She gritted her teeth and said, "Hurry! They're about to wake up! These guys haven't eaten for years, they're going to go crazy!"
[Colibusser] charged ahead... more like he was running away.
Ah Xi Ruo wasn't afraid that the pink-haired girl would slip away right under her nose.
At worst, she can just activate the [Stigmata]. The [Stigmata] doesn't need to be constantly activated; in fact, activating it briefly and multiple times is more cost-effective, especially since she's currently low on mana...
"Alright, those statues are gone now!"
After leaving the passage filled with statues, Ah Xi Ruo immediately grabbed the pink-haired girl and brought her back... Unable to fight back or escape, the pink-haired girl sniffed with a look of utter despair.
Ah Xiruo simply raised her hand, and [Corybusch] immediately shrank back, weakly saying, "I...I'm not trying to run away, it's just that those guys are really troublesome!"
"Are those statues alive?" Li Huamei asked, frowning. "The whole journey has given me a very eerie feeling. Could you elaborate?"
“The Weeping Angels.” Corybusor took a deep breath, her gaze filled with apprehension as she looked at the section of road they had already traversed. “Born from the Fantasy Side, they are supernatural conceptual beings. I wonder what method the Lord of R'lyeh used to raise a large number of them and keep them in his home…”
"【The Crying Angel】?" Ah Xi Ruo thought for a moment and said, "I don't see it. How does it resemble an angel? Aren't angels supposed to be furry?"
"The ones you see now are not what they originally looked like," said Corylbus. "The long years of slumber have caused them to degenerate due to hunger... but once they are fed, they will quickly recover."
Ah Xiruo tilted her head and held up [Colybuso] to her face. "Why are you so afraid of them?"
“I’ll explain their characteristics, and you’ll understand.” [Corylbuso] sighed and began to explain slowly.
As [Coribuso] explained, Ah Xiruo and Li Huaming's gazes gradually changed... Later, they realized what kind of terrifying "creatures" those passing statues were!
The ultimate defense system locked by "quantum"; indestructible; anything that records their images will eventually be assimilated into a new "Weeping Angel"; only direct eye contact can restrict its movement, but if the eye contact is maintained for too long, the user will also be assimilated...
"...No, if the [Weeping Angels] are truly so unsolvable, why are they kept here?" Li Huamei frowned. "And is it really impossible to kill them?"
“I already said, I don’t know what method the Lord of R’lyeh used back then!” [Coribuso] was not very polite to [Xiangfeihu]. “Moreover, the inability to be killed is only relative… but to truly kill the [Weeping Angel], [Sea God] once guessed that at least the level of the Gold [Eternal Divine Art] would be needed, and it should be of the [Time] type! Because the [Weeping Angel] is theoretically a [Time] creature… Of course, killing it is more troublesome, but avoiding it is relatively simple.”
Upon hearing this, Li Huamei pondered and said, "Gold-level [Eternal Divine Arts]? I've never heard of such a classification for [Eternal Divine Arts]?"
[Corybusch] said calmly, "That's because your era is too barren! Of course, [Eternal Divine Art] is just [Eternal Divine Art], its essence is just a concept, it's just that [Radiant Moon] of this era doesn't know how to sublimate it... You are like children holding a sword but not knowing how to use it."
"So you're really good?" Ah Xi Ruo chuckled.
[Colibuso] sneered, "It's not that I look down on this era, but even if I only use [Rules of Divine Skill], I can still crush your whole group!"
Then, the pink-haired girl was hung up by Ah Xiruo and slapped in the face repeatedly.
"You make your era sound so powerful, but it was still wiped out in the end, wasn't it?"
"What do you know!" [Cornebusor] bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her expression agitated. "When the darkest fate descends, no one can escape... What Old Gods Era, New Gods Era? In your eyes, we are the ghosts of the Old Gods Era... But in our eyes, aren't those guys also the ghosts of the previous Gods Era?!"
quiet!
[Xiang Feihu] took a deep breath, his voice low and deep, "What...did you just say? Your...last era of gods?"
[Colibusser] shook her head, "We are not the beginning, and you are not the end..."
