Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 663

Chapter 646: Battle! Outer God!

Late at night.

The hot pot arranged by Uncle Seven was still simmering.

As soon as it appeared, it tidied up the entire room perfectly.

It even added tables and chairs.

—A perfect breakfast shop was born!

“The siege by bizarre monsters… is it tomorrow?”

Xu Xingke picked up a piece of tofu skin with his chopsticks and asked.

“Everyone says it’s tomorrow, but who knows,” Shen Ye mumbled, burying his head in his food.

After finishing the tofu skin, Xu Xingke took out a gold ingot from his pocket and placed it on the table.

Instantly.

The gold was taken away.

A faint halo appeared above Xu Xingke’s head.

The “Crown of Holy Light” manifested!

This meant that “God is with you” was activated.

It would display a miracle.

—What could it be?

The two suddenly looked at the wall together.

They saw a line of glowing numbers appear on the wall:

“22:59.”

Looking at these numbers, they immediately understood.

“It seems the time for the bizarre monster siege has been moved up,” Xu Xingke said thoughtfully.

“Exactly, your gold ingots have been taken, so the news should be reliable,” Shen Ye also said.

“What time is it now?”

“22:36.”

“Soon.”

“Hmm, luckily, this hot pot is pretty much done.”

Shen Ye thought for a moment and also took out a piece of gold, placing it on the table.

“Lord, give me some useful intelligence, mwah.”

He said.

As soon as he spoke, the gold disappeared, and a faint halo appeared above his head.

What followed was a miracle—

Above the hot pot, countless sacred lights appeared.

They quickly condensed into a giant city resembling a “Tower of Babel.”

Layers of cities were distributed underground, on the surface, in mid-air, and at the dome, displaying completely different urban landscapes and vastly different strengths of the beings within.

A majestic voice then sounded:

“Star-Moon City is a city of despair born from the struggle between the bizarre and the apocalypse, and also the last place for living beings to survive.”

“It is ruled by the four-tiered sequence created by humans.”

“The weakest underground city is ruled by the sequence ‘Soul-Devouring Yoke,’ and all beings obey its commands and survive by it.”

“The surface city is slightly stronger, ruled by the ‘Blood-Burning Prosthesis’ sequence. You are on this layer.”

“—The siege is about to begin. You must survive, uphold the Lord’s sequence, walk the Lord’s path on the earth, and elevate the ‘Godslayer’ sequence to the dome of all beings.”

“The Lord is always with you.”

Shen Ye read it all at once and couldn’t help but say, “But the power of ‘God is with you’ is too expensive. I’m worried we don’t have enough money.”

Several lines of sparkling small text appeared:

“During this war, a special ‘God’s Mercy’ promotion is being held.”

“Each activation of ‘God is with you’ will receive a 1% discount on the original price.”

“—Considering this is your first time participating in a war.”

Shen Ye and Xu Xingke fell silent together.

After a long while.

“Where did you get such a sequence?” Xu Xingke asked.

“Sigh, I don’t know how it just appeared, but it’s pretty reliable when it comes to major issues,” Shen Ye said, somewhat troubled.

Knock knock knock—

A knock on the door sounded.

Before Shen Ye could get up to open the door, a voice came from outside:

“The two of you from the ‘Godslayer’ sequence.”

“You’ve been assigned to guard the city gates, remember that.”

“Move out immediately, otherwise, if the city falls, you will be court-martialed.”

The voice faded, and footsteps receded.

Shen Ye and Xu Xingke sat there, continuing to eat hot pot, not even lifting an eyelid.

—Who knew which faction such an unseen order came from?

Besides.

Why should they order them around?

Time slowly passed, and soon it was “22:58.”

One minute left.

The bizarre creatures’ siege was about to begin.

*Pat.*

Xu Xingke wiped his mouth, picked up his lighter, and lit a cigarette.

“It’s about time—I’ve seen my mission.”

He squinted at the void, quickly read through it, and continued:

“Survive for one hour.”

“Then my sequence can be upgraded, and my skills will also improve.”

Survival mission!

Xu Xingke unhesitatingly pulled out a stack of cards and slapped them onto himself.

—Since he had to survive, he would prioritize defense!

Seeing his teacher busy, Shen Ye also looked at the void.

He saw that he also had a corresponding sequence mission.

But unlike Xu Xingke—

“Your sequence is not ‘Godslayer’, but for this siege, there are also corresponding preceding and succeeding contents for the sequence:”

“Congratulations.”

“You have completed the mission ‘Crawling in the Blood’.”

“The classical natural sequence ‘Godslayer’ originates from ancient times and has long been dormant in this historical fragment, until its master ‘the Omniscient and Omnipotent Lord’ established contact with you.”

“Please further help the true holder of the ‘Godslayer’ to survive.”

“Mission reward: Development.”

“As you are in the nest, you need to obtain the gifts from history to further develop and grow.”

“Upon completion of this mission, you will have a certain probability of activating the third mission of the Eternal Poem.”

All the small words receded.

Shen Ye held his breath and watched for a while, and many of his doubts gradually found explanations.

As for the true holder of the “Godslayer”—

It was his teacher!

Perhaps this sequence never bothered with White because it simply didn’t value him.

It was only when his teacher arrived in this historical fragment that it began to unleash its true power, wanting to do something.

“Time’s up.”

Xu Xingke said.

Shen Ye suddenly snapped back to reality.

The time for the bizarre creatures’ siege had arrived!

The next second.

Outside, a shrill, piercing alarm suddenly blared.

No sooner had the sound begun than Shen Ye and Xu Xingke immediately sensed a strange magical fluctuation.

“It’s bizarre—wait, why is the coverage so wide!”

Xu Xingke said, looking at a card in his hand, unable to help but be moved.

Shen Ye was also somewhat surprised.

Such a large-scale bizarre spell was simply unheard of.

The next second.

The two suddenly sensed a familiar fluctuation.

They abruptly stood up and said:

“It’s a Dharma Idol!”

“Dharma Idol.”

—How could such a large-scale Dharma Idol descend!

“Teacher, here on the other shore, a Dharma Idol is called a ‘Bizarre Shadow’,” Shen Ye said.

“Because ‘Dharma Idols’ originally belong to the bizarre side?”

“Yes.”

As the two were speaking, they felt a tightening around their heads, hands, and feet simultaneously.

At the same instant.

Xu Xingke suddenly threw a gold ingot.

The ingot disappeared.

“God is with you” activated!

A majestic voice rang out in the void:

“This is a high-level bizarre shadow, the Three Wood Severing Binding Shadow.”

“It forms binding laws by converging sixteen emergent laws, which are respectively bound into three wooden shadows: collar (neck), shackles (hands), and fetters (feet).”

“Those covered by the Dharma Idol cannot control their hands, cannot use cold weapons, and cannot move.”

“The Dharma Idol lasts for 1 minute!”

“—Bizarre anti-siege Dharma Idol.”

1 minute!

Such a terrifying Dharma Idol, directly affecting the real world, covered the entire city.

Xu Xingke and Shen Ye’s necks were sealed by dark shadows, black runes appeared on their hands and feet, leaving them unable to move, unable to form hand seals for spells, and only able to look at each other in shock.

This was simply unheard of!

*Dong—*

A shocking sound.

The rolling shutter door of the Sacred Restaurant was kicked open, creating a large hole.

A figure stood at the doorway.

It was a man.

Most of his body was replaced by machinery, and even one of his eyeballs was an alloy screen, peering into the room. “Ah… two poor wretches, I found you.”

The man raised his gun, aiming at Xu Xingke.

Shen Ye’s eyes twitched.

The attribute “Behind-the-Scenes Figure” activated!

In an instant.

Tiny letters refreshed frantically:

“The opponent’s Atomic Annihilation Gun has been prefixed with ‘Self-Destructive’.”

*Boom—*

The moment the man pulled the trigger, the gun exploded in place!

Half of his arm was blown off, and his body staggered back a few steps, almost falling to the ground.

“Hahahahaha!”

“—Attribute? That’s some skill you have there.”

But the man laughed wildly, shaking his head and saying, “You are clearly bound, yet you can still resist like this. You must have originally planned to make a name for yourselves in Star-Moon City.”

The next second.

He suddenly stopped laughing, looked at the two with a mocking expression, and said:

“Too bad—”

“Any resistance is futile.”

He quickly pressed a few times on his chest with his other hand.

A cold, emotionless electronic voice then sounded:

“Coordinates confirmed.”

“All monitoring and reconnaissance temporarily disabled.”

“Starfall Cannon preparing to fire!”

The man ignored the two, turned, and walked to the other side of the street, saying, “The Starfall Cannon has a small attack range, but it can eradicate certain levels of bizarre life. It’s more than enough to deal with you.”

“Goodbye forever.”

Before he finished speaking.

Shen Ye silently watched the man’s retreating figure.

—Ouroboros Eye activated!

A line of small text immediately appeared above the man’s head:

“Blood-Burning Prosthesis, Old Order Faction.”

He’s from the Order faction!

But he’s acting as a free agent during the monster siege?

And he conveniently arrives here, initiating an assassination, just as his teacher and he are bound.

…There’s something very fishy about this.

As Shen Ye was thinking, he heard Xu Xingke say:

“So, attributes can be used.”

“—Hey, you, don’t leave, come back here.”

The attribute “Serious Person” activated!

The next instant.

The man, who had already walked away, suddenly flew back and landed in front of Xu Xingke.

The man was startled and immediately tried to run away.

“Hey, you, come back.”

Xu Xingke said indifferently.

The man immediately flew back.

“You bastard, the Starfall Cannon is coming—”

He mumbled anxiously to himself, then ran outside again.

“Come back.”

Xu Xingke said indifferently.

The man’s speed was extreme, he had already rushed out onto the street, but then he flew back again.

“I’ll kill you first!”

He roared, drawing a laser knife, and slashed it at Xu Xingke.

*Clang!*

A crisp sound.

The laser knife was deflected.

A faint armor appeared on Xu Xingke’s body.

—After getting that “survival” mission, he had already started preparing various defenses!

The man was startled and was about to speak when he suddenly found the entire world spinning.

Then everything turned to darkness.

Shen Ye.

Shen Ye held his blade level and said,

“Thanks, Susu.”

In the void behind him, a woman held his shoulders and chuckled.

The siege Dharma Idol “Three Wood Severing Binding Shadow” prevented people from controlling their hands.

—Susu, however, was the Parasitic Empress.

She could easily control Shen Ye’s hands.

To kill enemies according to Shen Ye’s will!

At this time.

One minute had passed.

Shen Ye and Xu Xingke regained their mobility simultaneously.

“Gather.”

Shen Ye raised his hand and said faintly.

The Dharma Idol upon him roared, flying up and unfolding in the void, enclosing the incoming Starfall Cannon.

—Attribute “Will Meet on the Jade Terrace Beneath the Moon”!

Crisis averted.

The two walked out and stood on the street outside the Sacred Restaurant, observing their surroundings.

Yet, the entire street was deserted.

A giant, blood-red eye, emitting an eerie light, appeared in mid-air, looking down at the two.

The Outer God Nyarlathotep!

—It had reappeared and arrived before the two once again!

A majestic voice resonated from within the eye:

“You possess attributes, making you quite capable humans. Now, I offer you an opportunity—”

“Abandon the ‘Godslayer’ sequence.”

“Join the ranks of the ‘Soul-Devouring Yoke’ or ‘Blood-Burning Prosthesis’ sequences.”

“I will guarantee your survival.”

Xu Xingke, arms crossed, stared intently at the Outer God Nyarlathotep and asked,

“This is an Outer God?”

“Yes, it’s a product of man-made sequences,” Shen Ye explained.

“Is it ordering us?”

“Not necessarily, it might be a misunderstanding.”

“How do you know it’s a misunderstanding?”

“For example, some girls are very shy, and when they say ‘I hate you,’ they don’t necessarily mean they really hate you,” Shen Ye explained.

“You’re right, you ask again then.” Xu Xingke nodded.

Shen Ye then shouted loudly at the Outer God:

“Hey! Why won’t you let us continue to follow the ‘Godslayer’ sequence?”

Soon.

The voice of the Outer God Nyarlathotep appeared in their minds:

“It is not one of us, nor was it created by you humans. Its origin is suspicious.”

“But it hasn’t threatened you, has it?” Shen Ye asked.

“It is not recognized,” said the Outer God Nyarlathotep.

Shen Ye simply laid out his cards:

“I understand.”

“You immediately came to assassinate us the first time, clearly knowing what kind of spell the bizarre monsters’ first wave of attack would be.”

“—So, you sequences are actually allied with the bizarre monsters, aren’t you?”

“Aren’t you?”

The Outer God Nyarlathotep remained silent for a few moments, then transmitted:

“No need to ask any more questions. You must make a choice now.”

Shen Ye had figured out the whole thing.

—It’s really hard.

So the “Godslayer” sequence’s mission was to survive.

His own sequence also had to help Xu Xingke survive.

It was simply too difficult.

All the Outer Gods and sequences in the city were accomplices of the bizarre.

They only wanted to control humans.

The “Godslayer” sequence, which humanity had finally found, and its sole heir, White, had already died in the suburbs.

—If he hadn’t interfered.

Looking at it this way.

Humans had no hope in this historical fragment at all.

“Teacher, what do you say?” Shen Ye asked.

“Do you want to tell it that we’re really scared?” Xu Xingke said, grinning with a cigarette in his mouth.

“Okay.”

Shen Ye took a deep breath and shouted at the Outer God Nyarlathotep:

“Listen up!”

“—We’re terrified!”

As soon as the word “terrified” left his lips, Xu Xingke’s hand seal was instantly formed.

Dharma Idol—

Imperishable Bulwark!

“Enhance!” Shen Ye shouted.

His attribute “Sacred Chantstress” immediately activated, raising Xu Xingke’s Dharma Idol by one stage.

The massive phantom of a city wall behind Xu Xingke dramatically transformed—

A giant, hundreds of meters tall, composed entirely of black bricks, slowly appeared, standing behind Xu Xingke.

Dharma Idol—

Myriad Ages Spirit Idol!

At the same time.

Shen Ye drew the Gloomblade.
