Chapter 482 Deterrence!!! (Page 12)
Just as everyone was so stunned by the horrific sight that they could hardly breathe—
Click!
A crack suddenly appeared in the very center of that pale giant eye!
It was as if something was trying to break free from within!
Immediately following, a soft yet incredibly pure emerald green light, brimming with boundless life force and youthful vitality,
Like a spirit that has broken free from its shackles,
It suddenly squeezed out from the crack in that giant eye!
Slowly drifting downwards!
"Eden!!! It's Eden's soul aura!!!" Bragi's pupils suddenly dilated to their maximum, his face exploding with indescribable joy and excitement!
He could see clearly the core of that ball of light.
It was the very soul of his wife, whom he longed for day and night and whose memory was etched in his heart!
He could no longer care about anything else. His figure transformed into a streak of light, rushing into the sky without regard for anything else, reaching out to grab the falling ball of light!
“Come back, Eden! Return to me!” he cried hoarsely, his eyes filled with tears.
however--
Just as Bragi was about to touch the ball of light,
The huge, pale eye in the sky seemed to be enraged!
Countless dark, chain-like rules of death suddenly erupted around the crack!
These chains frantically coiled around the emerald light, attempting to drag it back into the void deep within the pupils!
"No!!! Get away!!!" Bragi roared like a wild beast, his eyes bloodshot!
The supreme divine power erupted in full force, transforming into a giant golden hand.
He grabbed at those death chains fiercely, desperately fighting against the terrifying dragging force!
Zizzi——! ! !
The sacred power of life clashed violently with the cold rules of death, resulting in annihilation!
It emitted a piercing tearing sound!
The stalemate lasted only a moment!
That pale giant eye seemed to contain unimaginable power, and the chains of death suddenly contracted!
Along with Bragi's giant golden hand and Bragi himself... they were forcibly dragged towards that enormous eye!
"Braggi!!!" Lin Qiye and the others exclaimed in surprise!
The next moment, amidst the despairing gazes of everyone,
Bragi and the emerald light representing Eden's soul were swallowed up by that huge, pale, lifeless eye! They vanished!
The vortex in the sky began to slowly shrink, and the giant eye, as if having completed its mission, gradually became blurry and transparent...
“Failed…” Baili Pangpang slumped to the ground, his face full of disappointment.
Zhang Yun frowned, his black clothes fluttering in the wind.
However, just when everyone thought the outcome was certain and the tragedy was irreversible—
boom--! ! ! !
A muffled, earth-shattering roar suddenly erupted from inside the pale giant eye that was about to dissipate!
The giant eye twisted and swelled violently, its surface even cracking with countless fissures! It was as if something inside was wreaking havoc and struggling wildly!
Immediately afterwards——
Poof! ! !
The top of the giant eye was suddenly torn open from the inside by a terrifying force!
A figure, covered in blood and with shattered golden armor, still tightly clutching the emerald green orb in his arms, resembled a phoenix rising from the ashes.
Suddenly... they charged out!!!
It's Bragi!!!
He's out!!! With Eden's soul!!!
He hovered in mid-air, breathing heavily.
Blood flowed continuously from wounds all over his body, but he looked at the intact, even brighter, emerald-green orb of light in his arms, which had even become more radiant after being freed from the shackles of death.
But a bright, satisfied, childlike smile appeared on his face!
That pale giant eye emitted a silent, yet chillingly angry shriek!
But it seems to be subject to some kind of rule.
Unable to intervene again, it could only watch helplessly as Bragi snatched the soul from its grasp! Finally, in utter resentment and rage,
The giant eye, along with the entire vortex, completely vanished into thin air...
But in the instant before it completely disappeared,
An invisible, residual power, imbued with the curse of death, shot out like a venomous snake.
It struck precisely at Bragi's feet... the Holy Grail, already cracked and having fulfilled its mission... fragments!
Click!
The fragments of the Holy Grail, under this final curse... turned to dust and scattered in the wind...
The sky returned to its dimness, but was no longer murky.
Amidst the ruins of Asgard, a mingled silence and the smoke of battle create a desolate atmosphere, akin to the passing of a civilization.
The shattered ruins of the temple, the dried blood of the gods, and countless embers of divine power remaining after purification.
Together they form a scene resembling the end of the world.
Although the sky was no longer shrouded in the filthy, dark green fog, it still presented a morbid, leaden-gray oppressive atmosphere.
Bragi was suspended in mid-air, and his condition was extremely poor.
The once dazzling golden divine armor was now shattered and broken.
As if torn apart by a giant beast, it revealed a divine body covered with deep, bone-revealing wounds.
The blood was no longer a pure gold color.
Instead, it was mixed with the ashen, deathly aura picked up during the battle against the pale, giant eye.
It kept gushing out from the wound.
The dripping water fell onto the scorched earth below, making a hissing, corrosive sound.
His face was as pale as paper, his aura extremely weak, and the immense pressure that once belonged to a supreme god was now extremely unstable.
Like a candle flickering in the wind, it seemed as if it could be extinguished completely at any moment.
Only in his arms,
The emerald green orb of light, radiating a faint yet incredibly pure life force, was tightly embraced and carefully protected by those arms—Eden's very soul essence.
It still radiated a soft yet firm light, as if it were the only meaning and support for his existence at this moment.
The Monkey King, Sun Wukong, carried his golden cudgel.
He somersaulted over and landed nearby, his sharp eyes scanning Bragi's gruesome state.
The monkey's face, unusually devoid of its usual playfulness and unruliness, was replaced by a look of solemnity and concern.
He scratched his mouth, his voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of impatience:
"Hey! Bragie! Stop trying to be tough!"
Look at you, you look like you've been beaten up by the Eighteen Arhats for three days and three nights!
Hurry up and come back to Daxia with me, Old Sun!
The Heavenly Court has plenty of miraculous elixirs; Laozi's Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill is plentiful!
"At worst, we can ask Guanyin Bodhisattva for some willow branch dew; that should be enough to save you!"
Although his words were rough, they revealed genuine concern.
After all, Bragi had ascended to the highest point, endured numerous deadly battles, and finally emerged from within that terrifying, pale giant eye.
This injury has likely damaged its very foundation.
However, Bragi slowly and with utmost determination shook his head.
He lowered his head, gazing with almost greedy eyes at the faint yet tenacious green light in his arms.
A complex yet unusually calm smile appeared on his face, a smile tinged with endless weariness.
Yet it also possesses a sense of relief that borders on liberation.
“No need… Great Sage…” His voice was terribly hoarse, each word sounding as if it were being torn apart by a sharp pain in his lungs, yet it was exceptionally clear. “I… have somewhere I need to go.”
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow: "Where to? You've ruined this place to this state, what's the point of staying here? You don't mean you want to build a nest on these ruins, do you?"
Bragi's gaze remained fixed on Eden's soul orb.
He shook his head slightly, as if talking to himself, or perhaps answering: "Eden... her soul is too weak... after a century of silence..."
It was corrupted by the rules of death again... Although it was taken back, it was like... like a soul lamp about to burn out...
He raised his head.
Looking out into the distance at that chaotic and undefined void,
His gaze became distant and profound: "Ordinary healing sanctuaries... even the Jade Pool of Heaven, the Eight Treasures Merit Pool of the Western Paradise... can only repair injuries."
But it couldn't nourish her soul, which was nearly depleted... What she needed was... someone who could truly bring her back to life.
The place where she regained her vitality...
Sun Wukong seemed to have thought of something; a look of understanding flashed across his monkey face, but more than that, it was a mixture of sighing and complexity. He clicked his tongue but didn't speak immediately.
At this moment, Lin Qiye, Cao Yuan, Baili Pangpang, and others also gathered around.
Upon hearing Bragi's words, their faces showed doubt and worry.
Holding the black knife, Cao Yuan frowned slightly on his cold face and asked directly, "Where is he going?"
Bragi seemed to have heard Cao Yuan's question.
He slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on Lin Qiye.
Those eyes that were once filled with poetic romance and youthful melancholy,
Although the scene was gloomy, it was imbued with a calm that came from having experienced life and death and seen through everything, and... a trace of indescribable gratitude.
He gave Lin Qiye a very slight, yet incredibly sincere smile.
"Goodbye... Dean," he said softly, his voice so soft it sounded like a sigh, yet it reached Lin Qiye's ears clearly.
This title made Lin Qiye's body tremble slightly.
The director... that only applies to the Gods' Mental Hospital.
That's what Braki called him.
At this moment, it was as if time had turned back.
We returned to that special space that seemed chaotic yet was full of warmth.
Lin Qiye opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that his throat felt like it was blocked by something, and in the end he could only nod heavily.
Bragi withdrew his gaze.
He took one last, deep look at Eden's soul in his arms.
Without hesitation, he used his last strength to tightly protect the green light with both hands, and the remaining divine power around him began to burn and resonate in a strange way!
Om-! ! !
The space around him began to violently distort and fold.
It emitted a kind of fluctuation that was different from spatial teleportation, and was more ancient and mysterious!
Within those fluctuations, there seemed to be the rhythm of time, the cycle of life, and... a kind of eternal tranquility.
Watching this scene, Sun Wukong finally sighed, his voice low and somber, carrying a sense of world-weariness and detachment.
This answers Cao Yuan's previous question:
"The Eternal Secret Garden..."
These four words seemed to possess a magical power, causing everyone around to fall silent.
Baili Pangpang's small eyes widened: "Eternal...Secret Garden? What kind of place is that? It sounds like a tourist attraction?"
An Qingyu pushed up her glasses.
The data stream on the lens was flashing wildly, but no useful information could be extracted.
In the end, he could only solemnly utter a few words: "The legendary... place of origin and destiny of life... the singularity beyond dimensions..."
Garan clasped his hands together, his eyes revealing reverence and blessing.
Zhang Yun stood quietly to one side, his gaze deep, lost in thought.
Under the complex gazes of the crowd,
