Chapter 3757
The sudden return of the surrounding noise meant the complete end of this card game. The Snake in a black robe stood in the tavern but did not attract anyone's attention. After letting go of its hand, it took a step and disappeared into the tavern, and the quite obvious spatial traces it left behind were clearly inviting Xia De to chase after it.
"Ms. White, are you okay?"
Xia De did not chase immediately but asked. The red-eyed guardian stood up and shook her head:
"You should have agreed to its agreement just now. Even if it is not in its complete state at this moment, with the candidates and other holders of the Rings of Fate not yet present, now is not a good time to fight it."
Xia De also had his own reasons:
"If everything proceeds according to its plan, we will only be able to step into the script it has set for itself in the end. Since it has already disturbed the card game of the seventh act, then we cannot let everything develop according to its wishes."
Ms. White nodded gently:
"Alright then, let's go."
The figures of the two disappeared from the tavern at the same time and then appeared at the pier of the City of Time Wheels at night.
Only then did Xia De notice the abnormality, but what he noticed was not the starry sky being torn by several black cracks, but a translucent spherical barrier covering the pier area centered on the Drowned Ghost Tavern.
Outside this barrier, thick fog and heavy snow were diffusing, and from the direction of the ocean, the light of shelling could be seen from time to time. In the direction of the snowy mountains and the eastern part of the City of Time Wheels, one could feel continuous elemental reactions.
The unstable elemental environment had reached or even exceeded the level at the end of previous wars of the Chosen Ones. The existence of the terrifying thing hidden deeper in the earth beneath his feet could be known even without actively sensing it.
Except for the lack of more violent earthquakes and the lack of yellowish sky light covering the sky, the current state of the area outside the barrier was exactly what the Church and the Prophecy Association had anticipated before.
But precisely within this area wrapped by the barrier, there was neither fog nor wind and snow, nor any other abnormalities. Even the people in this area were still carrying out their nightlife as usual. Except for not approaching the boundary of this area, they looked completely normal.
Thus Xia De understood that before the Snake appeared, it had already sealed this area. That snake had never intended to let Xia De leave here before 1:00 AM from the very beginning.
The Snake did not appear in the land area but appeared on the sea surface in the south of this isolated area. Because the warships of the two countries had all left the port, there were only a few cargo ships still unloading at the pier tonight.
The Snake stood on the vast sea surface watching Xia De and Ms. White appear. There was no thick fog here, and they standing on the sea surface could clearly see each other. Thus, Ms. White, just like in the War of the Lover, turned herself into a white snake again and coiled around Xia De's arm.
The Guardian temporarily lent her power to Xia De, and Xia De noticed that Ms. White here was also not the main body. However, since the seal still existed, Ms. White's main body indeed could not appear directly in the outside world.
The snake-pupiled man asked for the last time under the pitch-black night:
"God-Caller, are you sure you want to start a war with me here? Those preparations and plans of yours should all be unable to be deployed at this moment, right? You are not even carrying a weapon."
"It is night now, and the moonlight is with me."
Xia De's right hand gripped the silver moonlight greatsword that emerged from the void:
"Since I already know that you also have the power to control fate, do you think I would follow your arrangements?"
Under the seawater behind the Snake, a huge black shadow was approaching the water surface:
"But without following my arrangements, how are you going to defeat me at this moment?"
The black giant python that sprang out from under the sea surface swallowed the Snake in one gulp. While the black python was pressing against the sea surface and opening its bloody mouth toward Xia De, Xia De flew to a higher place in the night sky.
The giant python then stretched its body upward, and then it collided head-on with the moonlight wheel that was buzzing and vibrating the air.
After that wheel of light came into contact with the giant python's body, it actually splashed sparks amidst a harsh friction sound. Subsequently, the snake head swayed and bit the wheel of light, shattering it directly with a 'Crack!' sound.
Roar!
Amidst the dragon roar coming from high altitude, silver moon fire poured down. But even though this moon fire could burn the black giant python until its skin was torn and flesh was mangled, the giant python still sprang upward and coiled around that magnificent moonlight dragon.
The snake and the dragon fell into the sea together, the stirred-up waves violently impacting the pier trestle, but the people in this area still had no reaction to this.
The seawater churned violently, and then three snakes that were almost entangled together sprang out from under the sea surface.
The white snake and the silver snake bit the black snake together, and the black snake actually grew two snake heads at the head and tail, and bit the bodies of the white snake and the silver snake respectively. It is worth mentioning that the 'blood' flowing out of all three snakes was not red.
The violently churning giant snakes stirred the seawater. If it weren't for Ms. White's power blocking it, just the aftermath of the battle would have almost triggered a tsunami at the pier of the City of Time Wheels.
And amidst the churning, the black snake's head was the first to let go of its mouth, and then the two snake heads aimed at the silver and white snakes and sprayed black thick fog.
Thus, a purple half-circle halo appeared at the forehead of the silver snake, while a layer of white halo emerged on the surface of the white snake's body. The black fog was blocked by two kinds of fate, and the two snakes withstood the destructive power of the black snake and continued to tear at its body. But this was essentially not destroying its body from the material level, but using two different fates to counteract the Snake's power of fate.
And seeing that the destructive fate could not work in a short time, the two heads of the two-headed snake stopped spraying and made an inhaling action. In the next second, yellowish light mixed with sand and gravel was spat out from their mouths.
This was not the power of fate; this was the power of complete doomsday. Although the yellowish light obscured the purple halo, the silver giant snake was not afraid of such power.
It was just that amidst those diffusing yellowish rays of light, the halo on the surface of the white snake's body shattered like glass. As the yellowish light came into contact with the white snake's body, sand and dust immediately escaped from its body.
The white snake then exploded into a ball of light and disappeared. And without Ms. White's help to contain it, the two-headed black snake completely coiled around the silver snake in an instant.
But fortunately, the light of the fate of 【Su Sheng】 flashed, and then the silver snake also exploded into a large ball of red butterflies.
The two black snake heads sprayed light toward the sky, trying to drown the red butterflies, but the red butterflies turned into rays of light and dodged flexibly. The white snake that had just disappeared took this opportunity to spring out from the sea again. While the golden miracle light emerged on the white scales, it coiled around the front black snake head.
That snake head immediately showed signs of petrification, but the rear snake head slammed into it and hit the white snake hard. And amidst the red butterfly group in the sky, a brilliant moonlight ray took this opportunity to strike the black snake head again.
Black, white, and silver rays of light stirred the sea. When the waves gradually calmed down, the Snake, which looked unchanged, was still standing on the sea surface, while Xia De, with the white snake coiled around his arm, pressed his right hand, which was glowing with light, against his chest.
The nine-ringed Ring of Fate belonging to him was fully displayed at this moment. Without weapons and without helpers other than Ms. White, Xia De in his normal state was indeed not its opponent.
But fortunately, the Snake was also afraid that if Xia De were pushed too hard, it would have to face the gods. Therefore, it did not fully let go when fighting. This clone seemed to be uninjured, but it did not dare to face Xia De's moon fire directly at all. The interior of this body had actually been severely damaged by the pure silver flames.
Ms. White, who was coiled around Xia De's arm, was saying in Xia De's heart at this moment:
"Give me some time, I can open a one-time entrance and exit to let you leave from here. There is no need to waste time with it here."
The Snake also knew that continuing like this would only let Xia De escape. Behind it, the night background was gradually being occupied by yellowish light. This was not the unfolding of 'before the doomsday', but the Snake using power similar to a Mystical Lock.
Xia De let that yellowish scenery extend to his feet, until the seawater rippling under the yellow sky also turned into yellow sand-like gravel:
"Do you know? In this environment, I can also use some power that exceeds the norm."
The Snake asked:
"Do you mean the Mystical Lock you used in the Battle of Moon Bay?"
"No."
【Calamity Card: Shadow of the Deep Sea】 flew out from Xia De's pocket. The black key that Xia De took off turned into a long staff and pointed at the card that emitted ominous power:
"Mrs. Lemaire, please help!"
Roar!
The rotten black giant merman poked out the upper half of its body from the yellow seawater. All light seemed to become dim when it touched that figure. And just the appearance of this thing made this world transform from a Mystical Lock toward a more real direction.
"You really make me more and more delighted."
The Snake praised. Several black shadows at its feet sprang forward along the sea surface, and its main body turned into a giant snake again and met Xia De's direction.
Ms. White, who was focused on cracking the Snake's barrier, actually did not know what had happened in that yellowish scenery at this moment. She only felt that the doomsday appeared in an unprecedentedly realistic manner, but out of trust in Xia De, it was still trying its best to crack the barrier.
No one knew about the confrontation between the dark calamity born in the doomsday and the Snake. That was a secret belonging to people who used doomsday power. But when that yellowish scenery shattered, the situation of both sides participating in the battle was clearly not very good.
The card had already been recovered by Xia De because it was on the verge of losing control. His right hand covered his left arm, which had temporarily lost sensation. The blood hole bitten by the snake on his left shoulder could not be treated immediately even by the fate of 【Su Sheng】.
And on the other side, the front of the Snake's black robe was slashed with an inclined tear, and inside the robe was flipped black skin and flesh. There was a penetrating circular hole in its abdomen, and the area around the wound was covered by a layer of strange black. That deep color could not be completely wiped away even by the Snake.
