Mermaid Reef

Jason was a little uneasy.

He felt Gemir's power covering the ruins.

The net of intertwined vine shadows has not been retracted, nor has it been blocked by any force, which means that the effect of time stagnation should continue to work.

But look at the smiling Egyptian priest standing on the ruins!

That guy was not affected at all, and he could still maintain the perfect disguise of a human being, inviting them to a "sincere" conversation with the words of the evil god, as relaxed as an Englishman preparing for afternoon tea.

Jason wasn't really British, he definitely didn't have the habit of sipping black tea in the trenches during a war, and he didn't want to talk to a dangerous guy like Thoth, the god of wisdom.

——Conversation can certainly obtain some information, but it will also let the enemy understand yourself.

On top of that, Todt was probably trying to buy time.

Leviathan will die at any time, the corpse of the giant snake will merge with the tongue lice evil god at any time, and the earth will disappear at any time...

The situation is out of control, and no one knows what will happen if it drags on.

More than a dozen time chains flew towards Toth in an instant.

Thoth's figure was illusory for a while, the chain couldn't catch the target, and he was suspended and free.

"..."

Jason realized that this enemy was more terrifying than he imagined, and he couldn't see through him.

There is no water on this satellite, and the surface is extremely hot under the sun's rays. The gravity of Mars often causes terrifying sandstorms here.

Now the sandstorm has risen again, roaring and sweeping across the world, covering the scorching red sky into pitch black in a blink of an eye.

Under the violent wind speed, these sand particles are like sharp knives, which can easily cut through flesh and blood, and even the solid metal is gradually worn away.

Those pores and holes above the ruins suddenly turned into large musical instruments with various scales, which gave a strange feeling of thick and majestic.

Jason's eyes also became weird. Toth always seemed to be transforming things, the former Quicksand Island, and now the ruins of Atlantis.

"Is his power manipulating wind and sand?" Jensen communicated with Gemil silently.

"do not know."

Gemil doesn't understand Thoth.

The symbol of the God of Wisdom is a crescent moon, not a strong wind, nor yellow sand.

Thoth became a god in Egyptian legends not because he lived in Egypt or liked the Egyptian environment, but because only Egyptian civilization was the most prosperous in that era.

The same is true of the human appearance that Thoth now imitates.

Perhaps an evil god's preferences can be analyzed from the incarnation of an evil god, but this rule does not work well for Thoth.

From the rock palace to this ruined spaceship, it can only prove that Thoth is very good at using sand to make music. The former drives the water flow of the "instrument" and the latter is the strong wind.

Jason thinks a little further. He thinks that the god of wisdom in the descriptions of Typhon and Gemil likes to show off very much, making Thoth hide his advantages all the time. It is estimated that Thoth will not be able to bear it, so there will definitely be a reminder.

The moon...the satellites of Mars...

The vines suddenly stretched out several main branches, blocking some holes in the ruins.

Thoth's figure was blurred for a while, and his expression also changed. It actually melted silently like smoke, and re-formed into a shape elsewhere.

"It is the law between the celestial bodies in the universe. The buildings transformed by Thoth always conform to the changes of these forces."

Whether it is the ocean tides caused by the moon or the sandstorms caused by Mars, Thoth disrupted the orderly forces and then introduced the set of structures he constructed.

Just like those specious runes on the corpse of the giant snake, the essence remains the same, but it was rewritten by Thoth, so it cannot be interpreted.

Leaving aside complex things such as power, chaos, order, etc., isn't this the code?

Jason quickly recalled human detective novels, adventure maps, encrypted diaries of occultists, and other messy things.

All ciphers are compared with the original ones. No matter how inexplicable the symbols are, since they want to express the complete meaning, they must abide by the rules—whether it is the music hall of the rock palace or the ruins of Atlantis, Thoth likes to use them Become a large music box, they are regular - this is easy to handle, guess the password against the book!

Anyway, if you give Jensen a lockpicking tool, he may not be able to imitate human methods to open the safe, but cracking the password can be guessed with a brain?

It is impossible for human beings to find a code comparison table based on the operation laws of strange celestial bodies in a short period of time, but this is not a problem for the evil god.

The vines moved the shadows, and deftly and accurately dismantled the ruined music box.

The grains of sand disappeared without a trace, and the sleeping ruin slowly emerged from the ground.

It has a precise structure, tall colonnades, and a strong style of exotic civilization, but it is dilapidated, and the former glory can only be recognized from the vague outline.

Thoth's breath was no longer secretive.

He was a little surprised, and seemed to think this matter was very interesting, so he stared at the traces of shadows and vines intertwined.

"...Thoth's body is not here! Only this avatar!"

Gemil looked back to see the expression of the Egyptian priest, and the shadow suddenly rose, as if to tear Thoth apart.

Toth didn't panic, his figure became illusory and transparent again.

"His strength is passing?"

Jason didn't understand that this incarnation seemed to be disappearing, no matter how weak the power of the evil god's incarnation was.

"Yes, I should disappear."

Toth actually heard Jason's words, and he said with a smile, "As for the main body...how could the main body stay? Waiting to be revenged by you and killed by your joint efforts? Since you have done something that offended everyone of the same kind, Of course you have to leave the scene immediately, who would stay in place foolishly?"

Jason asked: "So you were abandoned by the ontology?"

With a strange smile on his face, the priest shook his head and said, "No, I have other uses. I am waiting for someone of the same kind worth talking to. I guessed before that it might be Typhon, Anubis, or I can't wait for anyone." , but really didn't expect it to be Gemil...and a new god.

"As a fellow who solves the riddle, you can get the answers to all the questions, as well as a gift."

Gemil sneered, not intending to listen at all.

The figure of the priest became more blurred, and he said unhappily, "Why don't you listen to the cause of everything?"

"Because I know you like to show off, and if you don't listen, it will make you uncomfortable." Gemil continued to tear down the ruins.

It's a pity, but Thoth's avatar is integrated with this Atlantis music box, and Gemil won't live on a Martian satellite, so it's better to dismantle it completely.

"You will listen."

Toth suddenly laughed.

There were bursts of screams in the distance, it was Leviathan's voice.

Jason turned his head quickly, and found that the conspicuous big head was torn apart.

"This……"

There is still some distance between Leviathan and the giant snake corpse!

Leviathan is not dead, but it is no different from death, he howled in pain.

"What did you do?" Jason stared at Toth.

"No, you did it." Thoth pointed to the ruins at his feet, and said calmly, "I have been controlling the barrier outside Yemengard's body, and now my strength has been destroyed by you, I am just a weak Incarnation, without the conversion structure arranged by the main body, the bait will be out of control."

Sure enough, the corpse of the giant snake was "burning", black flames covered the huge body, and the evil gods retreated one after another, with surprised expressions.

Toth continued: "Yemengade can't be resurrected, and the corpse can't be eaten. I just barely preserve the shape of the corpse. That barrier is carefully designed by me. It looks terrible, right? Scared You? Now that the barrier disappears, the corpse will dissipate automatically. Now you have the patience to listen to me, aren't you afraid that I will procrastinate?"

Jason: "..."

Gemil: "..."

While looking at Gemil and Jason, Thoth said: "In my plan, if Leviathan hadn't swallowed the earth first, he would be useless and impossible to succeed. If it is destroyed, Nidhogg will go crazy and bite the host back."

Jason saw that Leviathan's cracked head was gradually deformed, and countless flesh and blood were thrown out, trying to parasitize other evil gods.

Typhon couldn't stop him, he chose an ally, and called Behemoth to give up the snake's corpse.

Jason watched the evil gods scatter in a panic to avoid Nid Hogg's parasitism, and was swallowed by the completely mad Leviathan on the way.

"...Is this your purpose? To kill all the evil gods on Earth?"

"Did you see it?" Toth turned his head and said with great interest, "Gamil, the allies you are looking for are very interesting. But I want to correct one statement, I am not trying to kill the same kind on the earth, I want to If you want to destroy the earth, you can kill some people who are too stupid and short-sighted. They are too stupid to hinder me."

Jason had never heard such an absurd reason, and he asked instinctively, "Why? Because you are the God of Wisdom?"

Gemir used the shadow to appease the vine, so that he would not be provoked by Thoth.

Toth shook his head lightly. His smile was very human-like, and even the fine lines at the corners of his eyes were fully drawn. This gave Jason the illusion of "really smiling", but the emotions of evil gods cannot be seen on the surface.

Coupled with the vague and hazy figure, it has a mysterious taste.

"No, these titles are just games, meaningless, you can continue to guess...but my time is running out, I have completed my mission and will disappear...Actually, I really want to finish my sentence, but you will tear me apart Incarnation, that would be too embarrassing, you can see the rest of your doubts for yourself!"

The avatar of the Egyptian priest disappeared, leaving a silver-blue light ball in place.

Inside the light sphere is a magnificent starlight, and one will be deeply immersed in it at a glance. There are tens of thousands of changing star trails in it.

"star map!"

Gemil didn't expect Thoth to leave such a thing behind.

This star map is very complicated, even if it is an evil god, there is no way to write down all the contents in a short time.

Jansen instinctively wanted to put this thing away, but thinking that the star map was left by Toth, he immediately retracted the vine, and even felt that this thing would become a weapon to devour the evil god at any time.

"I come."

Gemir separated the vines, rolled up the ball of light at the end of the shadow cloak, and prepared to separate this part of the shadow if something went wrong.

Jason looked at him nervously.

Half a minute later, Gemil opened his eyes and said in a complicated tone: "This is the star map collected by various methods after Thoth left the earth, part of which is the place he has been to. Because the incarnation and the body No matter how far apart, there will be a weak connection, so this is the star map left by Thoth on purpose."

"What does Toth mean by that?"

It's hard for Jason to understand. In case the earth is gone, Toth is responsible for providing a mission roadmap for follow-up revenge?

Forget it, let’s solve the earth’s crisis. Everyone continues to lie in the cave and sleep, isn’t that good?

"I think you are very smart, and I mean to show you the way." Gemil was very unhappy, and said coldly, "He will give this picture to all the evil gods who find the 'audience auditorium' and find him, and it doesn't have to be us."

Jason felt that the emotions coming from the shadows were very familiar. He said awkwardly: "Wait a minute, I believe that Thoth is not trying to find allies. He is not Typhon, so why?"

The shadow cloak undulated violently, corresponding to Gemil's restless heart.

"...Thoth feels that there are too many evil gods on earth, and these evil gods will one day wander into the universe after the destruction of the earth. Toth said that he is not afraid of any enemies, but he is very worried that when he is not strong enough, When you meet those evil gods that exist in high dimensions, you can see all past and future enemies."

"what?"

What does this have to do with Thoth's plot to destroy the Earth?Jason was still confused.

Gamil gritted his teeth and said: "Anyway, one day, Thoth discovered the foreign evil god... that's right, it was Anubis. Toth realized that the foreign evil gods were washed by different forces. They are all different. The evil gods from the same planet look very different from each other, but they are very similar in the eyes of other evil gods. Toth believes that his enemies do not need to catch him at all, as long as they catch an evil god born on the earth, they can After analyzing the various characteristics and weaknesses of Thoth's body, no matter how Thoth conceals his origin, he cannot escape the gaze of those high-dimensional alien gods, and the information about his origin will be leaked out sooner or later."

"so……"

Jason couldn't believe it.

So in order to guard against this possible weakness, let Leviathan devour the earth-yes, without the earth, new evil gods will not be born endlessly.

As for Leviathan, with Ned Hogg around, this guy won't live long.

Nidhogg, the parasite... This thing is not a normal born evil god at all. It eats stones every day and does not grow through normal power nourishment. It is messy from body appearance to power attributes. It is still Thoth's creation. It is well nourished A helper, you don't have to worry about dying if you can't support it.

The more Jason thought about it, the more numb the end of the tentacle became.

Gamil said gloomily: "Thoth believes that a smart kind can become powerful in the universe, but a fool can't, and will drag other evil gods down. Toth asked us in the star map, let us think carefully, because this Everyone has to face the problem sooner or later, and He believes that we will make wise choices."

"Is it the choice to kill all the same kind?" Jason was shocked. Although he didn't care about killing the same kind, he didn't even think about playing such a big game like Toth and thinking so far.

Uh, if it's the group of laggards just now, it doesn't matter if they are all dead.
