wandering in the ashes of meman

Chapter 162·159·The Primal Furnace

In the fireless sacrificial field, as a large number of souls were placed in it, the flames of the original fire burned brighter and brighter.To Huijin, a bonfire is something that can be placed as long as there are materials.But the bonfire in the sacrificial ground is different.It is not so much a bonfire as it is a key.It's not just a key, it's a key connected to a furnace burning with primordial fire.

But now, with the investment of a huge amount of souls, especially high-quality souls headed by Odin, the key has been able to turn successfully.

The ancient sayings of the ancestors were silently recited in his heart, and then the space changed.Not only Ashes, but also Fireproof Girl, Guda, and even Hela were all swallowed by a burst of darkness.When they opened their eyes again, or came to their senses, the surrounding space had undergone tremendous changes.

What entered their eyes was no longer the empty, dark and dense sacrificial field, but turned into a somewhat dark platform.

It was as if the island had lost its sea water, surrounded by blade-like stone pillars, and the broken stone pillars were covered with moss. There was no so-called sun in the sky, but a two-dimensional parallel black hole.An extremely thin black line hangs down from the hollow, and the surrounding sky is covered with dim yellow clouds. This kind of dim yellow is not natural, but a dusk similar to an oil painting, a dusk drawn by someone.

Monotonous to the extreme, bright, but scary.This kind of twilight does not seem to be a climatic phenomenon such as weather, but a concept closer to "doomsday".Even if you just stand there, you can still feel the desperation and hesitation that have become solid... The opposite of the sky is this island-like platform.

The platform is very flat, with at most only a few small mounds less than one meter high.There are green weeds growing on the land, decorated with small white flowers.It reflects the vibrant scene of the clothes.The despair of the sky and the sky seem to be two worlds, two inseparable worlds...

In the center of the platform, there were extinguished fires and a thin, corpse-like human figure in armor.

After hearing someone coming here, the figure with the whole body under the armor cast his gaze over.

In terms of temperament, this person should be very similar to Ashes, but there is a huge surprise.That is, this existence is full of antiquity and vicissitudes, through the gaps in the visor, in the darkness, people seem to be stuck one after another hero or something else sitting on the throne and being burned by the flames combustion.The surging flames invaded the skin, burning the bone marrow and soul.The reflected fire is surging and full of vitality, just like the sun illuminating the whole world.

That is the salary king.

Using one's own body and soul as firewood to continue the world, but this is useless.Slowly, the flames became weaker and weaker.No matter how much the salary kings burn themselves, the flames will not be able to illuminate the entire world as before.It seems to illustrate the sadness of the king of salary... No matter how hard he tries, what the king of salary will continue is only a broken era that will be replaced.The era of fire that Ge Wen spared no effort to continue, and the "passing fire" that he spent all his time getting along with.After all, it can't withstand the tide of the times, even if it is one after another to put firewood in the fire, it can't withstand the erosion of the deep sea age... Although the flames have not been extinguished, the firewood has already been soaked...

And the withered figure in front of him is nothing but the incarnation of the salary kings of the past.No name, no consciousness, purely to protect the flames, and to continue this world as the last obsession... the incarnation of the Salary King.

There is no mottled flame emblem on his body. Standing there, what he sees seems to be a scene of the sinking of the times.

"The Chosen One...the fire is out...you...are late..."

The avatar of the King of Salary uttered a burst of ancient words from his mouth intermittently.He does not have independent thinking, because he is more like a manifestation of world consciousness.Even when he uttered the four words that the fire has been extinguished, there was no slight ups and downs or fluctuations in his voice, as if all of this had nothing to do with him, detached...

Looking at the incarnation of King Xin in front of him, Ashes also felt a little emotional for some reason.This is not the first time that Ashes has seen the incarnation of King Xin. When he was spreading the fire, Ashes also saw the incarnation of King Xin.But that is, the incarnation of King Xin is still a little giant with a height of three meters, and he is holding that huge, burning sword in his hand...

And now, thin and haggard.Like a extinguished pyre.Even the great fire-spreading sword has been broken into two pieces and the ground beside it is covered with rust.Sporadic vines and flowers are entwined on it, no matter how you look at it, you can't see the sharpness and spirit of the past...

Shaking his head, he didn't answer.The ashes slowly walked towards the extinguished fire in front of him... As if it had just been extinguished, the pale white smoke floated into the air.Then, Ashes' finger touched the flame...
