Chapter 461
But now, seeing Xia fetch the last Black Core for Lu Li, especially learning that Lu Li seemed to know the secret of the Boundary City, Xiro panicked a bit.
This was also the first time he showed a panicked scene. Even if the Living Corpse Zero died, even if Moonlight Bird Zero refused to respond to him, the former Commander, even if Ronak and the Four Heavenly Kings of Dalvella died one after another, Xiro's expression did not have much change.
Only this time, Xiro showed a clearly panicked performance on his face. The reason lay in what Lu Li had just said.
Since the other party knew the biggest secret of the Boundary City, and even Xia, the mysterious Pavilion Master of the White Night Pavilion, personally fetched the last Black Core for the other party, did that mean that it was really as the other party said, ending the Boundary City's cycle in this one?
Even if there was only a one-in-ten-thousand possibility, Xiro did not want to see such a situation. Otherwise, all his planning would become a joke.
"I wasn't quite sure originally, but looking at your performance, it seems my previous guess was not wrong." Glancing at Xiro, Lu Li did not talk nonsense with the other party, but took out the remaining Black Cores.
The entire Boundary City possessed a total of seven Black Cores, and now they were all collected by Lu Li.
The seven Black Cores attracted each other, trembling continuously, overflowing with energy fluctuations that seemed to want to pollute and destroy everything.
Sensing this energy fluctuation that polluted and destroyed everything, the gazes of all the Divine Artifact Users present could not help but change. This energy fluctuation was full of suppression for them.
If they were to face the owner of this energy fluctuation, I'm afraid they would be suppressed very seriously.
Furthermore, they also vaguely felt the aura of destruction from it. If this energy fluctuation were allowed to spread to the entire Boundary City, perhaps the Boundary City would be destroyed.
Thinking of this, some Divine Artifact Users were already eager to move, intending to stop Lu Li. After all, they did not want to see the Boundary City destroyed.
But, Omnimon Alter-A X was there, and they also did not know what kind of attitude Xia, the mysterious Pavilion Master of the White Night Pavilion, held.
So for a time, although these Divine Artifact Users wanted to stop the other party, they did not dare to take action rashly.
Finally, under everyone's gaze, the seven Black Cores connected into a light gate. The light gate also emitted a suppressive aura, and soon, a dissatisfied voice came from it.
"Na na, how long has it been since this cycle restart, and someone has collected all the Black Cores so quickly?"
The voice sounded like a girl's dissatisfaction. Everyone present, except for a very few who did not have much expression, were stunned in place.
They actually heard an ordinary woman's voice from the light gate that emitted a suppressive and fearful aura? Even, there were quite a few complaints in it?
But soon, they noticed that the other party's words mentioned cycle restart and Black Core...
The Black Core was nothing, but it seemed that after collecting all these Black Cores, it would trigger the other party's appearance.
And cycle restart—this was not the first time they had heard this term. Now this unknown existence mentioned cycle restart again, so perhaps this cycle restart was the key to the Boundary City, and also the root of Lu Li and Xiro's actions.
Cycle, restart—some smarter Divine Artifact Users seemed to have thought of something, and their faces gradually became pale.
If it was really as they thought, then perhaps they, the Divine Artifact Users living in the Boundary City, were just a pawn or a plaything of the other party.
Such a possible result was absolutely not something they could accept, and even, it might make them collapse because of this.
"Has it come?" Compared to the Divine Artifact Users of the Boundary City, Lu Li appeared much calmer. After all, this was a possibility he had guessed from the beginning.
The next moment, under everyone's gaze, a figure crossed the light gate and appeared before everyone.
Beyond everyone's expectations, the figure that appeared from the light gate was a girl who looked like a big loli. The other party had silver-white hair and incomparably fair skin.
Her clothing also looked like that of a neighbor's girl who could be seen everywhere. She looked completely unremarkable, and one could not feel any energy fluctuations from her, simply like an ordinary person.
But, no one would think that this big loli before them would be an ordinary person. After all, the other party appeared from the light gate connected by seven Black Cores, and that light gate emitted an aura that made them feel suppressed.
There was only one explanation for this situation, which was that the other party's strength far exceeded their own. Only in this way would the other party look so ordinary in their eyes.
This also made the gazes of the Divine Artifact Users become more grave.
867. Alright, everyone go to the sea!
"This aura, an outsider? No wonder this time, all the Black Cores were collected so quickly." Seraphim completely ignored the fear of the Divine Artifact Users around her, only slightly surprised by Xia's appearance, but her gaze subsequently fell on Lu Li, Baosi, and Omnimon Alter-A X.
"I have some impression of you." Seraphim was seeing Lu Li and Omnimon Alter-A X for the first time, but she had some impression of Baosi.
Baosi's ability was too special and could resist the initial state of the cycle restart. Naturally, it was impossible for Seraphim not to have an impression of Baosi.
Or rather, for the outsiders who had entered the Boundary City, it was impossible for her not to have an impression.
"It hasn't been two days, and the cycle is going to restart again? That's why I hate you outsiders." The Boundary City was her world. These outsiders did not even say hello and entered her world silently. Naturally, they would not be welcomed by her, the owner.
But more importantly, she had no way to stop these outsiders from entering her world, because the other party held the Black Core, and the Black Core was the free key to enter the Boundary City.
"I have a question: why do you keep restarting the Boundary City's cycle?" Regarding this god who appeared, Lu Li did not have much malice.
Appearance was one aspect. He heard the big loli's muttering clearly. He always felt that it seemed to be his fault, and he did not feel any fighting intent or killing intent from the other party.
On the other hand, even if Lu Li killed Seraphim, I'm afraid there was no way to stop the Boundary City's cycle restart.
Because the moment he saw the other party, Lu Li knew that Celestin and Tiamat's guess was not wrong. The Seraphim before him, like them, was a world will born from the world pillar.
Not to mention whether he could kill the other party, even if the world will was erased, as long as the world pillar existed, the world will would sooner or later recover.
Until now, he had not discovered where the Boundary City's world pillar was hidden. Not only him, but Celestin and Tiamat had not discovered it either.
It was as if the Boundary City did not have a world pillar.
By then, the Boundary City's cycle restart would still continue and would not be ended, which did not conform to the deal between Lu Li and Xia.
Since the deal was reached, Lu Li naturally would not muddle through. Therefore, he needed to understand clearly why the other party kept restarting the Boundary City's cycle.
If he did not figure this out, then everything he did would be futile.
"Didn't you tell him?" Facing Lu Li's question, Seraphim turned to look at Xia. Seeing that Xia was also at the scene, she thought that the other party had mentioned it to Lu Li.
"This is your business, little girl. I am just a bystander." Taking another puff from her pipe, Xia replied slowly.
Judging from the conversation between the two, Seraphim and Xia knew each other, and their relationship might even be unusual, but Xia calling Seraphim a "little girl"—this point was a bit subtle, but it also deepened everyone's cognition of Xia again.
This mysterious Pavilion Master of the White Night Pavilion might actually be the big BOSS behind the scenes!
"How many times have I said, don't call me a little girl, and in front of so many people!" Seraphim was clearly very dissatisfied with Xia's address, but she did not dwell on it too much: "Forget it, anyway, when the cycle restarts, everyone's memories will be cleared, and everything will return to its original state."
The voice was not loud, but it clearly fell into everyone's mind and made everyone's heart unable to help but turn cold.
Such a statement was already equivalent to directly confirming everyone's thoughts. They were indeed just Seraphim's pawns, and the other party even possessed the ability to reset everything in the Boundary City at will.
At this moment, all the Divine Artifact Users gathered in the Central Court already had signs of collapse.
After all, they were powerhouses with various superpowers in the Boundary City, but now they were told that they were just a pawn in the other party's hands, and even the abilities they possessed were very likely to originate from the other party.
Such a gap was not something everyone could bear.
"Sorry, maybe this idea of yours will fall through." Lu Li waved his hand to interrupt Seraphim's words. At the same moment, Omnimon Alter-A X unfolded the Tyrant Sword again and aimed it at Seraphim: "I don't want the Boundary City to return to the cycle again."
"I didn't say I would let you enter the cycle either." Seeing Lu Li holding a sword against her without saying a word, Seraphim was stunned, and then almost wanted to go berserk.
This was clearly her territory, but you outsiders were good—not only did you mess up her experiment this time, but now you were actually pointing a sword at her, the owner. Is there anyone as excessive as you?
"No, no, no! Naturally, I won't enter the cycle, but what I just said was not just about me, but the entire Boundary City." Lu Li shook his head and corrected: "This is the agreement between me and Pavilion Master Xia."
"Little guy, is it necessary to drag me into the water so urgently?" Hearing Lu Li's special correction, Xia, who originally only intended to be a bystander, was now speechless.
"No!" Although Seraphim did not know what kind of agreement or protocol Lu Li and Xia had reached, she shook her head and denied Lu Li's words: "If the cycle does not restart, then the Boundary City will face true destruction."
"It seems there are many hidden stories here." Seeing Seraphim's big reaction, Lu Li could not help but raise his eyebrows.
Although the other party kept restarting the Boundary City's cycle and kept clearing everyone's experiences, from her appearance until now, Seraphim did not seem to be the type of person who was difficult to communicate with.
In this way, the other party choosing to keep restarting the cycle must have other reasons, reasons she had to do so.
Thinking of this, Lu Li could not help but glance at Xia. This Pavilion Master of the White Night Pavilion must know something, but the other party had always maintained an attitude of being a bystander.
"God, can you tell us why you want to do this?" Moonlight Bird Zero crossed the crowd, came to Seraphim, and hugged her...
868. Good guy, it's you again!
Moonlight Bird Zero's action was beyond everyone's expectations. No one would have thought that Moonlight Bird Zero would actually make such a performance.
Even Seraphim, who was being hugged, this god, now looked at Moonlight Bird Zero with an expression that was also very confused.
No, what is the situation in this cycle? Why do so many strange people always appear?
Also, what the hell are those two pieces of meat pressing on my head!
"Perhaps, leaving it to them to communicate internally might also be a good choice." Seeing this, Lu Li let Omnimon Alter-A X retract the Tyrant Sword.
Of course, if Seraphim had any inappropriate performance, Lu Li did not mind letting the other party eat a full-power All Delete to see if the other party could resist it.
"You don't hate me?" Having finally emerged from Moonlight Bird Zero's figure, which had become more plump, Seraphim's eyes were full of envy.
Although she could restart the Boundary City's cycle, she could not restart her own figure, even if she was the god of the Boundary City.
But compared to these, Seraphim was more concerned about Moonlight Bird Zero's attitude.
Knowing her existence and knowing everything she had done to the Boundary City, normally, one should hate her because of this.
This point, Seraphim had already experienced when she restarted the Boundary City's cycle countless times. Even now, she also felt that among the Divine Artifact Users gathered in the Central Court area, many people were emitting resentment and hatred.
Her appearance, what she said, and everything she did would lead to such a result—Seraphim did not feel strange.
Anyway, she had experienced enough. Even if it came countless more times, she would choose the same approach.
Restarting the cycle meant everyone's memories would be cleared. This might be very unfair to people living in the Boundary City.
But it was better than the Boundary City being destroyed just like that. By then, dying would really be dying. Even if the cycle was restarted, there was no way.
"When I was polluted by the Black Core and became a complete disaster, I learned the essence of the Boundary City and also saw countless cycle restarts," Moonlight Bird Zero's voice was still very gentle.
She was not unaware of the reason why Seraphim restarted the cycle, just hoping to use this as an entry point to tell everyone the truth.
"Seeing the Boundary City's countless cycle restarts with my own eyes, to be honest, I was also very angry and puzzled at first, wondering why we had to bear this kind of pain."
