Chapter 1132 – Back Shadow
Under a moment’s unrelenting sprint, Lin Qiye’s duo soon ascended to the top of the mountain peak.
Just after stepping onto the top of the mountain, a huge circular crater appeared in front of the two of them, with dense cracks spreading out from around the crater, connecting to the surface of this mountain beneath them, as if an earth-shattering battle had taken place in the center of this crater.
”What is that?”
An Qingyu’s gaze fell on the center of the crater, only to see a gigantic shadow standing there, the cracks of this mountain full of cracks all extending out from under its feet.
The moment he saw that gaze, Lin Qiye furrowed his brows and his expression seemed a bit puzzled.
He hesitated for a moment, closed his eyes again to carefully perceive it, and spoke in confusion, “Strange …… my spiritual perception, why can’t I detect the existence of that thing?”
An Qingyu pushed down his glasses and squinted his eyes hard, as if he wanted to see what the shadow looked like, vaguely, he saw the outline of six white feathered wings, which were hanging low on the surface of the earth, and his hands seemed to be holding a huge sword, which was inserted into the mountain.
”Six white wings, holding a giant sword?” Hearing An Qingyu’s description, Lin Qiye froze and Michael’s appearance quickly surfaced in his mind, “The Blazing Angel …… is Michael?”
Could it be that Michael came back from chasing Odin and saw the words he left in heaven, so he came down to hell to find them?
The moment this thought appeared in Lin Qiye’s mind, it was rejected by him on the spot.
Impossible.
If Michael saw what hell looked like today, there was absolutely no way that he would just sit quietly in the center of the crater, He would inevitably rush up into the clouds to seal the gap that kept spilling ash, and then kill all the demons and resentful souls within the Heavenly Hell cleanly.
No matter what was sitting in the center of the crater, it was definitely not Michael.
”Don’t go near it.” Lin Qiye spoke gravely, “Let’s surround the crater from the outside and not come into contact with it.”
An Qingyu nodded, and the two figures, cloaked in crimson cloaks, quickly circled around the edge of the crater at the top of the mountain.
The mountain was not high, but the area at the top seemed to be far larger than the two had imagined, and after running around the crater for nearly a minute, they surprisingly had not yet reached the other end of the mountain, instead, the figure sitting in the center became clearer and clearer in their vision.
His front face was facing the other side of the crater, and in Lin Qiye’s perspective, the two of them could only see a back figure.
Just as An Qingyu had said, it was a huge figure with six clean white wings and a huge sword in its hand, and from the back, it was almost exactly like Michael.
However, the difference was that His wings were covered in bloodstains, the feathers withered as if they had been torn open several times hard, and the giant sword stuck in the middle of the earth was even more exaggerated in shape than Michael’s, and there were also bloodstains everywhere on top of the sword.
”Something’s not right!”
An Qingyu immediately stopped her steps and looked around with a grave face, “I scanned the structure of this mountain before I went up, it could never be this big, with our speed, we should have already gone over this mountain.”
”Since stepping into this crater, my spiritual perception seems to have failed.” Lin Qiye also frowned and said, “I can’t sense the figure in the center of the crater, nor can I sense our movement …… This place, something is interfering with my [Mortal Dust Divine Domain].”
”There’s one more thing, did you find it?”
”What?”
An Qingyu stretched out her hand and pointed at the figure in the center of the crater, her face gloomy as hell.
”No matter how we run, from whatever angle we look at it, He …… is turning His back to us.”
Lin Qiye’s eyes shrunk slightly, his mind instantly recalled the back figure he saw when the two of them had just stepped onto the mountain peak, although he wasn’t able to see the figure’s front or back because the distance was too far away, but during the period of time that they had been moving afterward, that back figure really hadn’t rotated the slightest bit, and didn’t even reveal a side face.
”It’s Him, He’s rewriting space and time!”
Lin Qiye’s brain spun rapidly, and with a clench of his teeth, he once again summoned the [Somersault Cloud] to step on the feet of the two.
Now was no longer the time to worry about flying into the sky and being discovered by demons, although the figure sitting in the center of the crater hadn’t moved up until now, his intuition told him that the figure was far more terrifying than dozens or hundreds of demons!
They must not remain here any longer.
The [Somersault Cloud] carried the two of them and swiftly flew across the sky, An Qingyu stood at the end of the cloud and watched with his own eyes as that mountain peak gradually moved away from them, and a heart hanging in the air was finally put down.
Fortunately, there were no accidents.
After An Qingyu took a long breath, as if she remembered something, she held the broken arm that was frozen within the frost at her waist in her hand and scrutinized it carefully.
”You brought this out?” Lin Qiye, who was piloting the somersault clouds, swept this scene with his afterglow and raised an eyebrow.
”Uh-huh.” Anqing Yu nodded her head, her eyes glittering with curiosity, “This severed arm that I cut off has been eroded by the Cthulhu contamination in the ashes, becoming a part of the power of the Cthulhu divine lineage, and this is perhaps the first specimen of the Cthulhu divine lineage that mankind has obtained to this day, with an extremely high research value.”
”You want to dissect it? Would it be too risky?”
”Perhaps, but the only way to feel out their weaknesses is to understand them better …… Honestly, this is something that only I may be able to do in the world.” An Qingyu spoke calmly, “Moreover, I’ll take good protective measures, it’s almost impossible to injure me with just the residual power in this arm.”
Seeing this, Lin Qiye didn’t try to persuade her any further and just nodded.
In this aspect of anatomy and analysis, An Qingyu was deservedly the strongest in the world, he was a demon who could even crack the heavenly aura, so perhaps, he could really crack the weaknesses of the Cthulhu divine system.
Lin Qiye opened his mouth and was about to say something when his figure suddenly stiffened on the clouds.
After he was stunned for a moment, his face paled with flesh.
”What’s wrong?” An Qingyu sensed Lin Qiye’s abnormality and immediately spoke.
”It’s not right ……,” Lin Qiye mumbled as he rode his somersault cloud, “Why is my spiritual perception, still unchanged?”
”What do you mean? The [Mortal Dust Divine Domain] is still failing?”
”I don’t know, but after I spread my spiritual power out, what I received was still the image of us in the crater ……,” Lin Qiye glanced at the sky above his head, his voice a bit hoarse, “And, don’t you think it’s strange?
We’ve been flying for so long, and still no demons have appeared ……”
An Qingyu’s pupils suddenly contracted!
Almost at the same time, the space-time around the two of them twisted strangely, as if there was a big invisible hand pulling on their bodies, ripping them back hard into the past, and everything around them was rapidly regressing!
Between breaths, the sky in front of them all disappeared, replaced by that familiar, cracked crater, and now, they were less than fifty meters away from the back figure carrying six clean white feathers in the center of the crater!
In the dead silence of the sky, ashes drifted down like a blizzard.
Under the gaze of the two of them, the figure that always had its back to them shook slightly, shaking away the ash covering its body, and rotated at the waist, seemingly about to turn around!
