Chapter 187 The Shadow of the Ark of the Covenant
Chapter 187 The Shadow of the Ark of the Covenant
This isn't a no-go, it's a recommendation for the treasure book "Zero Antique Shop: Disfigured School Beauty Becomes a Succubus to Pay Off Debts":
Darkness enveloped the entire South Sea City.
That darkness was the shadow of the Ark of the Covenant magnified infinitely.
At the entrance of No. 24 Middle School, the investigators looked at the sky in horror.
The students stretched out their hands, but you couldn't see their fingers.
Where the shadow of the Ark of the Covenant covers, even light cannot reach.
Suddenly, a student knelt down, trembling all over, his face pale.
Immediately afterwards, the second student knelt down...
The third one...
The fourth one...
They felt a terrifying pressure, like a mountain, making them unable to straighten their knees or lift their heads.
The investigators resisted that divine power and persevered through gritted teeth.
Li Mingyue's left eye is Hela's Eye.
Despite possessing the power of the goddess of death, she had no intention of worshipping her; instead, she felt an overwhelming sense of fear.
She looked into the No. 24 Middle School.
Everything was pitch black; the playground and the collapsed school building were nowhere to be seen.
All that could be seen was Mr. Twilight, holding a giant scythe, standing in the darkness.
He is the only remaining light in this world.
Of course, she could also see the Black God in the darkness with her left eye.
The Black God looks terrifying at this moment.
His body is melting, and his life is passing away.
It seems... it's offering itself as a sacrifice to that strange cabinet!
Suddenly, a large amount of tears flowed from my left eye.
Li Mingyue trembled all over.
Many people will die in this darkness.
The "many people" mentioned here does not refer to dozens or hundreds of people.
Instead... tens of millions of people!
So many death warnings made Li Mingyue's face go numb, and she murmured:
"If this abnormal event cannot be resolved, many people will die..."
"Keep going, dusk!"
Li Mingyue felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
At this moment, there's nothing I can do but cheer him on.
......
Nanhai City, a certain street.
Cars that violated speeding rules were speeding on the street.
The driver was enjoying the thrill of speeding along.
Suddenly, darkness descended, and in an instant, one could not see their own hand in front of their face.
"Bang!"
The car crashed into a streetlight, and the driver is unconscious.
.......
Walking street.
The pedestrians who were walking in a hurry suddenly stopped in their tracks.
They looked up at the sky.
"What happened?"
"Why is it dark?"
Is it going to rain?
"Where is it raining? The clouds aren't that dark!"
Someone said tremblingly:
"Is this the end of the world?"
No one dared to move.
Fear is growing in people's hearts, emanating from their bodies and spreading rapidly among them like a virus.
Anyone who has raised chickens knows that chickens with severe night blindness will return to the coop at night, curl up in a ball, and remain motionless.
I wonder how many people laugh at chickens for being cowardly.
It turns out that in extreme darkness, anyone would be like these poultry, daring not to do anything except breathe.
Humans laugh at chickens because they haven't experienced such extreme darkness.
.....
Inside the residential building.
"Huh? Why is it dark?"
The man exclaimed in surprise and went to turn on the light in the dark.
However, even though the switch was pressed, the room remained completely dark.
The man panicked.
The wife's voice came from the bedroom:
"Honey, I'm scared..."
The man tried to remain calm:
"It's okay, don't be afraid, your husband is here."
The weather's getting weirder and weirder; it'll probably clear up in a bit.
It seems there's a power outage at home too, probably related to the unusual weather.
It's okay, it's okay, it'll be fine in a while.
Don't be afraid, you'll be able to see short videos of once-in-a-millennium abnormal weather tomorrow.
.....
The playground of No. 24 Middle School.
Jiang Chaosheng gazed at the Black God in the darkness.
Very strange.
He himself knew that he was just an ordinary person bound by rules.
Although they are immortal, they are still mortal beings.
In such darkness, it is naturally impossible for one's own eyes to see.
But I could see the Black God in the darkness!
Black God looked like an ice cream exposed to the elements.
Hair, shoulders, arms, black robe—all are melting.
Horrible, disgusting, and chilling.
The Black God laughed wildly:
"Hahaha, I thought I'd never be able to kill you in this lifetime!"
I was wrong, I was wrong!
You will die, and you will never be resurrected!
You will be banished to the Warp, where you will become a pitiful, wronged soul in despair!
Jiang Chaosheng's eyes flickered slightly.
Subspace?
This is the second time I've heard this term.
I first learned this term from the "Sea Coachman" incident.
The Sea Coachmen are beings from the subspace.
Could it be that the essence of the Ark of the Covenant's erasure of humanity from the human world is to banish humanity to the Warp?
What exactly is subspace?
Most of the body of the Black God had turned into black water and entered the Ark of the Covenant in darkness.
The dark Ark of the Covenant suddenly unleashed a terrifying suction force.
Jiang Chaosheng narrowed his eyes.
The Ark of the Dark Covenant has locked itself in.
He felt himself being swallowed by the dark Ark of the Covenant!
It turns out that the Shadow of the Ark of the Covenant is a single-target attack.
The darkness that shrouded Southsea City was merely the lingering power of the Ark of the Covenant as it obliterated itself!
"That's truly a terrifying divine skill!"
Jiang Chaosheng gave a thumbs-up.
He could feel it.
If you are sucked into the Dark Ark of the Covenant, even the rules of the Zero Antique Shop will not protect you.
I wonder if that forbidden sculpture in the basement is a rival to the Western God.
Black God stared excitedly at Jiang Chaosheng, who was constantly being pulled by the Ark of the Covenant.
Even in death, seeing the Human Emperor fall would bring him unparalleled joy!
Suddenly, a look of astonishment appeared on Black God's face.
Jiang Chaosheng not only failed to resist the pull of the Ark of the Covenant, but instead used the pull to fly towards himself at high speed!
The astonishment on Black God's face turned into sarcasm:
"Trying to fight for a sliver of hope in this seemingly inescapable perilous situation?"
That does sound like something you would do.
"Heh, it's nothing more than a cornered beast's struggle."
Jiang Chaosheng remained expressionless in the face of the Black God's mockery. He approached the Dark Ark of the Covenant, and when he was close to the Black God, he even raised the Grim Reaper's scythe.
Black God swallowed excitedly.
He anticipates the scene of Jiang Chaosheng being removed from the Ark of the Covenant.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Suddenly.
Three thunderous chimes rang out.
The darkness that had enveloped the sky over the South China Sea was instantly dispelled!
The weather was fine and sunny, just like any other day.
The Ark of the Dark Covenant also disappeared.
In the sky, only the black God, with half of his body remaining, was left.
The other half of the body had already been sacrificed to the Ark of the Covenant.
To activate the shadow of the Ark of the Covenant, the body and soul of the caster must be sacrificed.
Clearly... the sacrificial spell was only halfway through...
Why... was I interrupted?
The Black God stared in astonishment, head bowed, at his mangled body.
"How...how is this possible?"
Black God suddenly remembered the three chimes from earlier.
He suddenly turned around and looked at the collapsed teaching building.
There were two people standing there.
A thug in a suit, a skinny young man wearing glasses.
In the middle of them was a huge bell.
Upon recognizing the clock, the Black God instantly lost all his strength, muttering:
"So it was... the Blasphemous Bell..."
The Black God is the resentment of the Son of God.
Legend has it that the Holy Son was killed at 3 p.m.
Therefore, according to legend, 3 PM is the time when demons revel.
Legend has it that three o'clock in the morning is also the time when the devil rebels.
Black God suddenly laughed:
"It's three o'clock already?"
His smile was full of self-deprecation and sarcasm.
Suddenly, Black God felt himself fly.
His eyes saw his own half of his body dissipating.
There was a moment of confusion in Black God's eyes.
It wasn't until he saw Jiang Chaosheng wielding the Grim Reaper's scythe and ignoring him that he realized the black blood dripping from the giant scythe was his own.
It turned out that his head had been severed.
"Was he killed again at three o'clock?"
The Black God slowly closed his eyes, his lips murmuring:
"What a profound cause and effect!"
......
Jiang Chaosheng watched as the body of the Black God disappeared.
The head of the Black God transformed into a beam of black light, shooting into the Grim Reaper's scythe, where it became a mysterious black rune.
The Grim Reaper's Scythe can imprison a portion of the defeated's soul power and gain access to one of their skills.
(Up to six skills can be stored.)
Mysterious information flooded into Jiang Chaosheng's mind.
[The Shadow of the Ark of the Covenant: The supernatural powers that the Western God comprehended in the Warp.]
[Can manipulate dark matter and erase beings possessing original sin and whose combat power is far inferior to their own.]
[Can summon the shadow of the Ark of the Covenant; by sacrificing oneself, the target's transcendental level can be ignored, banishing the target.]
