Chapter 4063: [Creation Delivery Room]
Being able to cause this degree of damage directly to the maze was not only because Xia De's own level was high enough, but also because he had a certain degree of control over this maze, and the power of the Falsehoods and Hermons' power were entangled with each other, so both sides could not fully guard against Xia De's Strange Art.
Of course, the most important thing was because the Strange Art "Flower of the Corrupt Moon" was really the most suitable for the current scene. Xia De didn't particularly understand Miss Felianna's intention in letting him learn this kind of Strange Art for the time being, but if it was just to fight against those flesh-and-blood distortion bodies in the 【Sewage Treatment Plant】, relying on this experience, Xia De was fully confident in leading everyone to defeat any opponent other than a god.
With the continued falling of those translucent red petals, that magnificent and strange red moon flower also bloomed from the foul-smelling rotten meat mud on the ground. Filth and holiness, decay and gorgeousness coexisted. This scene was like a nightmare, and also like a painting smeared by the craziest artist in a fit of hysteria.
Maze: Blood-Colored City was dissolving, and the power of 【House of Falsehoods】 was receding comprehensively. This also meant that Hermons was no longer able to try to erode the power of 【House of Falsehoods】 through the maze.
Beneath that layer of foul-smelling rotten mud growing with red moon flowers, a roar of extreme anger and fear came, and then Hermons rushed out from the ground in the depths of the maze that was about to disappear. His body was now mostly rotten, and the "Source of Fire" embedded in his chest was flashing red light because the structure was severely damaged, unable to continue to output energy for him stably.
The power of decay and withering crushed the maze and severely injured him who had just been almost integrated with the maze.
He roared and wanted to rush toward the moon flower blooming in the air, but under the scarlet and dim yellow moonlight, more flesh and blood rotted and fell off his body. Since he failed to stop Xia De from casting this Strange Art at the first moment, it was absolutely impossible for him to stop it after the Strange Art was successfully released.
A blood-colored translucent coat was draped over him, but it dissolved completely in just a few seconds; the unstable energy in the Source of Fire turned into a crimson shield to block in front of him, but when the petals containing the power of withering fell, that shield also shattered like glass.
When Hermons rushed in front of the blooming moon flower, from the appearance, he no longer looked like a human, but rather like a "life distortion body" that had lost the constraints of life form and lived in the sewers of the Outer City.
And in the Flower of the Corrupt Moon, Xia De was also waiting for his arrival. When the last petal bloomed, what appeared in that huge moon flower was Xia De holding two greatswords.
The scarlet greatsword in his left hand seemed to be dripping with corrupt blood from the tip of the sword, while the decaying dark red greatsword in his right hand had a terrifying power that caused life to wither.
He leaped up from the center of the petals, dancing the two greatswords like a predatory water bird under the red moon. Since Hermons had rushed up against the moonlight of decay and withering, of course, he would not dodge at this moment:
"God-Caller, kill you, and I will be the strongest in the material world!"
His hands pressed toward his chest together, letting the rotten flesh of his body completely swallow that Source of Fire, and then he turned into a blood light and collided with Xia De, who was slashing down with his swords.
At that moment, he truly detonated his own "Source of Fire" in the real sense, thereby letting himself completely merge with those twisted life fires. People outside the maze could no longer observe what had happened inside, and could only see a crimson sun rising above that blurred flesh-and-blood city.
Then the maze disintegrated completely, and the foul-smelling blood rain fell toward the desolate area between the Arcadia Outer City and Schluch Lake. The plants here would definitely grow very lush next year.
And after the blood rain fell, the dark clouds in the sky also faded from the blood color and returned to their original appearance. When normal rain fell, the people watching this battle even felt fortunate.
"But where did the God-Caller and the Blood-Weeper go? Who won in the end?"
After the maze disintegrated, the Falsehoods disappeared without a trace, and Xia De and Hermons, who should have returned to the material world with the disintegration of the maze, also disappeared together.
But Xia De was not trapped in the 【House of Falsehoods】. Hermons' madness did not scare him. This time, he also faced the other party's final strike with the idea of completely resolving the other party.
The terrifying life energy stirred up by the detonated Source of Fire swallowed him at that moment, and he also finally slashed the Moonlight Greatsword directly onto the other party's soul.
The Source of Fire in his palm and his three chains absorbed the energy of the surrounding explosion together, trying to reduce the damage he received. The only remaining chain tightly entangled Hermons' soul after he lost his body, making it impossible for him to escape.
And at that moment, Xia De also suddenly discovered that Hermons' soul had actually been modified. His soul's right eye was a burning crimson eye, and in his soul's left eye, there was actually a blood-red door.
Xia De's chain locked Hermons, and Hermons also grabbed him. So at the moment when the maze collapsed and the surrounding space was most unstable, the two were sucked into the blood-colored door in the eye of Hermons' soul together.
【Outsider, you have entered the "Creation Delivery Room."】
Consciousness seemed to be sucked into a red vortex, but Xia De still clearly heard "Her" words. Dizzy, he wanted to find support, but soon realized that he was not floating in the void, but soaking in liquid.
At this moment, it was incomparably comfortable and incomparably peaceful. Not only did all the fatigue and discomfort caused by the battle just now disappear, Xia De even felt as if he had returned to the distant past, into the arms of a mother he, as an orphan, did not know.
But in "Her" gentle laughter, the outsider soon broke free from this peace.
Opening his eyes, the surroundings were light red liquid, but even without using abilities like underwater breathing, Xia De could still breathe in this liquid, and this feeling was even better than breathing air directly. He could even perceive that as long as he existed here, the upper limits of his own vitality, spirit, and physical strength were improving extremely slowly.
Through his own perception, he also could not explain clearly what these wonderful liquids were. Like a physical entity, but also like pure energy. However, Xia De still remembered that he was pulled here by Hermons, so he wanted to swim upward, at least to see what the outside of these liquids was like.
Then, he realized that he could not distinguish up from down at all.
Space was completely chaotic in this red liquid, or rather, there was no concept of up, down, left, or right here. Creatures in this place only needed to curl up in these red liquids, and there was no need to distinguish their position.
Xia De of course remembered "She" said this was 【Creation Delivery Room】, a space left behind by that ancient God of Creation, 【Twilight Creator】, and similar other spaces also possessed such characteristics of not having a concept of direction.
"Then the question is, where is Hermons?"
All he could perceive were the comfortable warm liquids around him, and he could not perceive any other life besides himself. Even while he was briefly thinking and perceiving, all the injuries on his body healed, and even his spirit and physical strength, which were almost exhausted due to the full release of the Strange Art, were replenished to the most perfect state.
This healing ability and recovery ability seemed to be the most basic function of 【Creation Delivery Room】, but whether it was the mark in his palm or the Source of Fire, neither could extract life energy from here. However, he did try to use 【Life Tempering】, and the comfort at that moment almost made him lose himself in this unknown gentle ease again.
It was a pity that the vitality extracted from this place with Strange Art could not be stored either, and could only be used by himself.
And Xia De entering this place was obviously not done in a regular way, so he could not know more information related to this place.
"Hermons' soul, the left eye looks like a Source of Fire, and a door is hidden in the right eye... What did this person do to his soul?"
Xia De's body unconsciously continued to maintain a curled posture. He didn't know what he could do at this moment. He just wanted to stay here quietly. This feeling was even more pleasant than taking a nap in the sun on an idle afternoon.
"She" spoke at this time:
【If you want to float up, perhaps you can imagine the feeling when life was first born.】
"But I forgot what it felt like when I was first born a long time ago. Or rather, who would remember this?"
"Her" laughter was very gentle:
【Forgot the first time, did you forget the second time too?】
Xia De was startled, and immediately understood that the "second time" should refer to the "Kalas Mountain Fall" that he had now only recalled a few scraps of. That was indeed what he looked like when he was born into this world.
So Xia De closed his eyes, recalling the feeling when he fell on the snow mountain. The "Fall" Spirit Rune in his soul glowed slightly at this moment, and then he really felt himself starting to fall downward. Clearly, what he was experiencing was a fall, but soon he felt himself rising slowly.
The originally vague concept of space suddenly possessed the distinction between "up" and "down" at this moment. It was just that the concept of time was still chaotic. After a period of time that might be very long or very short, as Xia De took a deep breath, his face floated out from the surface of the viscous light red liquid.
"*Hoo~ hoo~*"
When his mouth breathed air again, he was even somewhat unaccustomed to it, having been used to breathing in the light red liquid. Only then did his eyes reopen. What he saw was the sky shrouded in white mist, and beneath him was clearly hard ground, not a blood pool without a bottom.
He struggled to stand up, only to find that although the ground under his feet was indeed covered with a layer of light red liquid, that liquid was only at a depth that had just submerged his feet, and it was completely impossible for Xia De to be completely soaked in it. ===== CHAPTER 4064 =====
