Chapter 3712: The Reappearing God of Fog
With the fall of the baton, the piano sound of 【Frost Mourning】 drove all other musical instruments present to sound together.
Stella's 6th-tier fate ring had appeared. The fate ring and the ritual runes on the edge of the sacrificial altar at her feet shone together. The mixed sound of musical instruments and the wind in the mountains vibrated the elements together. The piano sound of the relic drove the ether tide to surge. The streamer rose from the summit, and the vibration of the pipe organ carried the humming sound when the runes lit up, each sound making the soul tremble slightly.
In the gradually rising music, a beam of light formed on the summit and rushed into the clouds higher up.
This light had seven beams on the whole island, and at the same time as the light beam appeared, the brass bell on the cliff of the "Peak of Fate" was also rung. The elements above the snowy mountain were immediately stirred more violently by the power of this ritual, and the "Great Movement of Fate" ritual finally unveiled its curtain.
But at this moment, Xia De did not continue to join the performance. He frowned and put down the flute, and looked toward the southeast of the snowy mountain with the three ladies who did not participate in the performance. The sky was still the original color, but yellow sand and gravel actually blew in the wind.
Xia De knew best what this represented. He did not choose to stay here. "Great Movement of Fate" is a suite. The ritual must last at least two hours from beginning to end, and it must not stop halfway. The appearance of sand and gravel in the wind means that the "twilight" in the distance is expanding. According to the plan formulated before, this belongs to the most dangerous situation:
"I'll go over there and take a look."
"I'll go with you, let Professor Danister and Miss Ingram stay."
Megan said immediately. After all, someone must stay here to watch.
"I'll go too."
Claire, who also put down the musical instrument, said. She joined the ritual only because she had a snake slough, but in Claire's view, it didn't matter whether she participated in the ritual or not.
Sylvia, who could communicate with the tower, stayed behind. Xia De called Ellie. The little unicorn, who was curiously listening to the "concert" just now, carried Xia De and rushed out of the summit, with Megan and Claire beside her. The white figure swept across the towering mountain ridge at a very fast speed. Not long after, bypassing the side of the mountain, the area where the accident occurred appeared.
It was clearly daytime, but the area shrouded in thick fog looked yellowish as a whole from a distance. Ellie instinctively resisted flying over directly, so she landed in the thick fog.
Megan immediately summoned a strong wind to try to blow away the fog, but the thick fog kept regenerating like a living thing.
"Is it really 'Before the End'?"
Claire asked, Xia De was not sure:
"Appearing at this time point, I'm afraid there are other things in the fog. Let's see the situation first. After getting close to that area, I will call Grace and Helen to come over, and temporarily let them seal the space to prevent the power of Before the End from continuing to infect the world."
"The God-Caller is right, this fog is not right."
Megan frowned and reminded:
"This is different from the fog just now. There is a force controlling it. I guess someone is waiting for us in the fog."
"Follow me closely and keep walking forward. Ellie, don't fall behind either."
Xia De touched the little unicorn behind him, and then walked with them toward the area with yellowish colors deep in the thick fog. With Danister and the others staying on the summit, even if something happened there, they could hold on for a while, but the situation here must be resolved as soon as possible.
The wind rolled the sand and gravel toward them. While walking in the fog, Xia De couldn't help but think of the scene in the black temple building that sealed the "crack of the end" in the Vesta Forest.
It was just that as he walked, he found that the yellowish color in front was a bit wrong. The distance between there and him had never changed.
Looking to the side, Ellie, Megan, and Claire, who were there a second ago, had all disappeared. But in this strange fog, he clearly felt a very familiar power.
Xia De reached out to touch the pendant on his chest. The pendant was still hot, no different from before the group landed. Megan and the others should not have gone far. At this moment, a figure flashed in front of the thick fog. When the figure walked by, there was a slight sound of bells. That was the bells tied to the wrists and ankles ringing.
On the other side, Megan and Claire also found that Xia De's figure disappeared in a certain moment.
"Ang?"
Ellie tilted her head suspiciously and looked at the position where Xia De disappeared, and then looked at the side:
"Ang!"
This time it was a hostile and warning cry. The witches then looked over. A stranger wearing a black formal suit was standing there. The distance was not far or near. The witches could be sure that the other party was a stranger, male, sorcerer level around 7th or 8th tier, and there was a large trace of snake scales on his face.
"Good morning, ladies. Your guess is correct. I don't have the ability to make the God-Caller leave here directly, nor do I have the power to be an enemy of him."
The thick fog covered the stranger's true appearance, but it couldn't cover the white ring he held in his hand:
"So I temporarily made the God-Caller lost in the fog, but even if I resonate with the fate of 【Lost】, and have the power of Mr. Snake and that one-time divine ritual item I accidentally obtained to assist, I don't think the God-Caller will be lost for too long.
Two ladies, please allow me to introduce myself—Lost One. Mr. Snake helped me find the meaning of life again many years ago, and I voluntarily help that great gentleman until the last moment.
I know my power is so low, so I won't fight you head-on. This thick fog is the only enemy you need to defeat. Of course, be careful not to get lost here."
A small black wooden board was thrown to the ground by him. Megan just took a look and her face changed greatly:
"Out-of-control tree hole!"
"The fog will blur space, the power of the tree hole will blur the boundaries of time, and fate will make you go astray. The power of the God of Fog makes this thick fog no longer have boundaries. Please be careful, don't get lost in the realm outside of time. That is a realm that even Mr. Snake dare not easily peek into.
Of course, if you are willing to stay here and not move, I dare to guarantee that you will not encounter danger."
The man holding the ring disappeared into the thick fog, and the black wooden board seemed to dissolve directly into the fog. Claire moved closer to Megan, Megan held her hand to comfort her, and then Megan looked at the uneasy Ellie:
"Can you find Xia De?"
She asked, and the little unicorn sniffed around with her head against the ground like a cat, and then shook her head aggrievedly.
"Can't find him... then can you find the direction to leave?"
Ellie sniffed around again, and then led the two holding-hands witches toward the depths of the fog.
On the other side, Xia De was also walking in the fog. This time he was no longer walking toward the yellowish area in the distance, but chasing the figure that appeared and disappeared in the fog.
The terrain in the snowy mountain is changeable, and he just chased forward at a fast walking speed, but the figure in front seemed to be waiting for him to catch up every time.
【Powerful Space Perception】 allowed Xia De to determine that he actually didn't walk far, but time passed by quickly. And when Xia De finally stopped, the front was already the yellowish world when the sun fell on the horizon.
He stepped in and completely broke away from the fog. And the figure that attracted him to this place was waiting for him in the scenery before sunset.
Of course, it was not Mr. Snake, but it was not a stranger either. Her light brown skin had a good texture in the sunset glow, and her cool outfit matched the scenery exceptionally well. The gold chains worn around her waist and the gold decorations on her wrists and ankles were all shining.
The lady with brown skin stood in front of the twilight and looked at Xia De with a smile. Xia De was very sure that he did not recognize the wrong person:
"Miss Mester... God of Fog?"
This was the saint-form god Xia De met in his adventure in the "Gravel Gold Sand Sea", and it was not the first time the other party had been "met" by Xia De in the Sixth Era. During the Love Lake incident in Vesta Forest, it was this lady who appeared in the dream and guided Xia De to wake up from the dream.
"Why are you here? It's the Sixth Era now, aren't you already..."
He asked in astonishment. The one in front of him was definitely not an illusion.
And the "dancer" before the sunset twilight answered with a smile:
"Yes, I left in the Fifth Era, but this is not the first time we have met in this era. In those places where time and space are no longer clear, covered by fog, maybe you will meet me again. It is not that I traveled through time, but that all the fog has my power.
At this moment, I am not the me you imagine, but I am not a simple phantom either. Coincidentally, we met in the desert, but this time we met in the wind and sand."
A gold coin flashing with golden light was thrown by her and landed steadily in Xia De's palm. This gold coin was a circle smaller than the 1-pound alloy coin, and the material looked like pure gold. One side of the coin was the holy emblem of the Ancient God 【God of Fog】 surrounded by flower crowns, and the other side was the number symbol "1" surrounded by cloud patterns.
This was the fourth fate coin from an Ancient God that Xia De obtained after the gold coins of 【Innocent Creator】, 【God of Gambling】, and 【Lord of Walls】. Although the points were only plus 1, this was still a precious item.
"Want to say thank you?"
The "dancer" before the twilight asked again. Xia De shook his head and nodded:
"Miss Mester, every manifestation of the power of the Ancient God in the Sixth Era must have a reason. You shouldn't have appeared this time just for this coin, right?"
Otherwise, at the end of his pursuit of this figure, he should only see the lonely gold coin lying on the snow waiting for him to pick it up, not the manifestation of the god's figure.
The "dancer" with cool attire asked:
"Do you like the scenery at this moment?"
"The scenery is beautiful, but it's not the time for the sun to set yet."
The incarnation of the god's power asked again:
"Twilight will become more and more, even if you defeat the snake sealed by Mr. Ring tomorrow, the color of twilight has already infected the world. Someone needs to disperse the color of twilight, and someone needs to try their best not to let the world become dilapidated before the true end comes."
Xia De held the gold coin and asked:
"The snake sealed by the Ancient God said that this kind of infection is irreversible. Then are you going to teach me how to use fog to cover up this twilight color?"
Miss Mester shook her head gently before the sunset:
"I can indeed give you this power, but the cover of the fog is just hiding the twilight, not restoring it to its original state. Perhaps, you yourself have a way to reverse the erosion of the end." ===== CHAPTER 3713 =====
