Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 633 The consequences of following the rules in front of Hobert

The two monsters in front of Hobert were at least Sequence 3, corresponding to the "Justice Mentor" of the "Sun" pathway and the "Sea King" of the "Tyrant" pathway.

Monsters at this level are absolutely intelligent, but it's hard to say how rational they are.

When Hobert saw the two monsters looking at him and Archibald, he smiled and said: "Two of you, actually at this time, if we can temporarily join forces to chase the injured 'Three-Song Cathedral', we will definitely be able to kill it." it."

What responded to Hobert was a cluster of lightning and a huge pillar of light.

Hobert once again used his "distortion" ability, lightning struck the "Light Man" monster, and the light beam fell on the "Electric Man" monster.

For a moment, the two monsters quickly retreated, avoiding each other's attacks.

But at this time, the "Electric Man" monster retreated a little slower.

Hobert immediately understood what was going on: "Connection!"

He strengthened the spiritual thread of the "Electric Man" monster and the connection with Archibald, and for a time the "Electric Man" monster became even slower.

The "Light Man" monster seemed to realize something and immediately attacked Archibald.

Hobert stood in front of Archibald: "Twisted!"

A pure white "dark-free spear" stabbed at him, piercing into a shadow not far away.

For a moment, the shadows in the hall were like water waves, rising and falling. It was obvious that the "Three-Headed Temple" had not left just yet. It was licking its wounds while waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.

Of course, this was because Hobert deliberately let the "Darkness-Free Spear" pierce into the shadows. Firstly, he wanted to see if the "Three Songs Cathedral" was still there, and secondly, he wanted to disturb the other party's state.

"Frenzy!" Hobert's first priority now is to hold off the "Light Man" monster and buy time for Archibald.

If he can turn the "Electric Man" monster into a Marionette, when the time comes three against one, the "Light Man" will not be their opponent.

The "Light Man" monster's thinking was affected by "Frenzy", and it immediately retreated to avoid being attacked by Hobert's next attack.

At this time, a violent wind suddenly blew in the hall. This wind swirled around the hall and quickly formed a huge whirlwind, which was swallowed by the "electric man" monster composed of lightning.

"Tampering!" Hobert knew that this was the "electric man" monster's dying struggle, so he "tampered" with the wind speed and intensity, and the violent wind quickly became smaller.

Archibald also stared at the whirlwind in front of him very intently, and his control over the enemy was at the last moment.

At this moment, a somewhat illusory-looking hand suddenly stretched out from the shadows in the corner of the hall.

That is the "Three Holy Cathedrals" hiding in the dark. It wants to steal Archibald's next thoughts and thereby interrupt his control.

It also knew very well that Archibald must not be allowed to complete control of the "Electric Man" monster, otherwise he would not be able to escape.

Hobert immediately "twisted" the "stealing" attack onto the "Light Man" monster.

This time, the "Light Man" monster was prepared, and its head suddenly emitted a pure white light, which allowed the "Three-soud Temple" to only capture a ball of light.

At the same time, the entire hall was ignited with fierce flames, and one of the fiercely burning fire walls crashed directly into Archibald.

Because the attacks were carried out at the same time, Hobert was unable to do anything at all.

Archibald weighed it a little and took a few steps back, his control on the "Electric Man" monster somewhat loosened.

The "Electric Man" monster took advantage of this opportunity and immediately turned into a bolt of lightning and escaped from the door of the hall.

Hobert made a gesture to Archibald, indicating not to continue attacking.

Almost at this moment, the "Three-song Cathedral" seemed to have noticed Hobert's intention and completely disappeared into the shadows.

The "Lightning Man" monster also turned into a ray of light and left the hall.

Sometimes Sequence 3-level games are like this. Whoever continues to take action in the situation just now will easily fall into a disadvantageous situation.

No matter whether Hobert attacks the "Light Man" monster or the "Three-Headed Temple", he can't defeat the enemy with one move.

Then the attacked monster will be in a defensive posture, and the other monster will take the opportunity to attack Hobert.

Similarly, if the "Light Man" monster attacks Hobert, the "Three Heads Temple" will definitely take the opportunity to sneak attack on the "Light Man" monster.

Although it had just saved the "Electric Man" monster, it was just that it did not want Hobert's side to have an overwhelming advantage.

Since there is no way to instantly gain an absolute advantage, this battle is destined to end here.

Hobert sighed in his heart: If the person behind me is a real "ancient scholar", instead of using the historical images of angels, and only needing two historical images of Sequence 3, this battle will quickly gain the upper hand from the beginning. Unfortunately, The only thing is that Archibald is only half as capable as the "ancient scholar".

Of course, if Archibald had been an "ancient scholar", it is possible that this battle would not have happened.

The two of them watched everything in the hall with great vigilance. At the same time, Hobert was reviewing the battle just now in his mind.

He found that the three monsters did not show any desire to take possession of the exquisite stone chairs on the high platform.

So can it be explained that the stone chair only works on normal creatures like Hobert and Archibald? Basically the monsters here will not be affected?

And there are no other monsters hiding in this hall, just because the monster "Three Heads Temple" is there!

Then Hobert wondered: Do the "Light Man" and "Electric Man" have corresponding extraordinary characteristics in their bodies? Because they are not the same as the "Three-Headed Cathedral" and the previous monsters with the "Fallen Earl" level.

Hobert didn't know that those were creatures affected by the power of the city's gods? Or are they originally extraordinary people of the corresponding path?

If it is the former, it is likely that their situation is somewhat similar to that of the "gifted ones", but they are only given some power by the power overflowing from the gods here.

In that case, even if you work hard to kill them, you won't get the corresponding extraordinary characteristics.

As for the so-called affected creatures, they should be the former residents of this city.

Hobert had never heard that there were survivors in San Diego City, otherwise the news that Adero City had sunk to the bottom of the sea would have spread long ago.

Then the hundreds of thousands of people in Adro City at that time might be these monsters in the ruins now.

Of course, many of those angels and members of the angel family must have escaped, but a large part of them later took refuge in the Six Gods.

For example, the four angelic families once loyal to the Solomon Empire and later took refuge in Trunsoest.

Of course they will not publicize the battles that took place in the days when they were enemies of the Six Gods.

The other angel families were defeated in the later "War of the Four Emperors", and many of them are still wanted by the Zhengshen Church.

In order to hide in secret, of course they will not publicize these things.

Even if you know the current situation of Adro City, it will be difficult to enter or even find it again. After all, it is surrounded by the power of divine warfare.

Just like Beverly, this fourth era figure only knows the approximate location of San Diego City.

At this time, the intense sunlight outside gradually faded away, and dusk light appeared on the horizon.

Clearly, a new cycle has begun.

As the scorching sun faded, the originally bare ruins were once again taken over by plants. Big trees and grass grew out in just a few seconds.

Then water appeared in the ruins, and moss quickly covered the stones.

At this time, the ruins were relatively safe. Hobert and Archibald had no intention of exploring the stone chairs on the high platform or looking for the "Three Heads Cathedral".

Obviously, if a demigod-level battle occurs here, and there is no way to quickly deal with the enemy, more demigod-level monsters will definitely be attracted.

This was not the primary goal of their exploration.

Archibald continued to guide Hobert, and Hobert used "twist" to leave the black palace and come to the shade of a tree outside.

With every "twist", he could avoid dusk with precision.

Until they came to a white building, Archibald said: "It's nearby. Let's avoid that building."

Hobert looked away: "Okay!"

It was an asymmetrical white villa with green lawns and spacious arches.

The key is that it looks completely intact, without any damage.

Among the ruins of ruins, such a building must be very unusual!

When Hobert looked at it just now, he felt spiritually that the building was also looking at him, and it seemed that the other party could get a lot of information from him just by watching.

Use "twist" again to avoid the villa, but only "twist" it twice before Hobert stops.

Because the white villa appeared in front of them again, Hobert looked at Archibald.

The "Magic Wolf of Fog" smiled helplessly: "The last time I came here, this house didn't come after me."

"Since the other party is so hospitable." Hobert smiled: "Then we might as well kill it!"

He had just noticed that this villa was only at the demigod level, but the state seemed a bit strange.

Even if you can't kill the opponent, it would be pretty good if you can attract other demigod-level monsters to haunt this villa.

Archibald was slightly startled: Hospitality? Get rid of it? Is there any causal relationship here?

Now that Hobert said so, Archibald certainly had no objection. He asked his marionette to step forward and raise his hand towards the white villa: Bang bang bang~

A series of "air cannonballs" were fired, and a window of the villa suddenly turned into a huge brass-colored eye.

That eye seemed to have seen all the prosperity and loneliness in the world. It was full of vicissitudes of life and very sharp, as if it could see through everything.

After the "air cannonball" was a certain distance away from the villa, it was just glanced at by that eye and turned back into air.

The tentative attack made Hobert immediately realize that this was a monster corresponding to the "Reader" path sequence 3 "Insighter". As long as the opponent "insights" the rules or underlying logic of the target attack, it can easily Defuse the target's attack.

For example, if it sees through that the essence of "air cannonball" is a use of "air", then it can change that part of the air back to its original state, thereby ending the state of "air cannonball", then Archibald Secret Puppet The attack was defused.

Hobert smiled: "This ability is quite interesting." At this time, the distance between the two parties was still relatively far, and there was still room to watch each other.

Hobert did bring a level 0 sealed object, but it was of no use. He was afraid that the attack range would be too wide and attract more enemies.

At this time, he took back the hand that took the level 0 sealed object, because he thought of a very good way.

"Ha!" Hobert suddenly shouted, then "amplified" his voice, which immediately turned into ultrasonic waves and flew towards the villa.

The eye on the villa was still looking at Hobert and the others, as if he didn't quite understand what the enemy was trying to do, and didn't pay attention to the sound waves.

This was just an experiment. Hobert quickly used his "distortion" ability to get close to the white villa, reaching a range where they could attack each other.

Then he "tampered" with the mechanical structure of the villa. The white villa immediately shook, as if it was about to collapse. However, in the blink of an eye, the brass eye defused Hobert's attack, and its own mechanical structure quickly stabilized.

The ground under Hobert's feet suddenly became soft, as if he were stepping on jelly, and the ground surrounded Hobert like a wave, swallowing him up in an instant.

This is the secret skill mastered by the "White Villa". No matter how Hobert escapes, the soft earth will wrap around him as if it is alive.

But just as Hobert disappeared, the surrounding gravity suddenly amplified and began to exert force in the opposite direction.

After two experiments, Hobert's attack finally began.

The soil and stones on the grass in the front yard of the villa, as well as the bricks and stones in the ruins around the villa, floated into the air, and seemed to be pulled by some force, spinning, and even the tiles on the villa stood up one by one. got up.

The "White Villa" once again "insighted" Hobert's attack, and the surrounding gravity that had been "tampered" by Hobert quickly returned to normal.

thump~

A stone hit the "White Villa". It was an ordinary stone in the ruins. It was a stone that was sucked into the air just now and fell again at this time.

dong dong dong~

The stones fell down like a torrential rain, each blow harder than the last. Some of the stones hit the tiles of the villa and were shattered.

That brass-colored eye stared closely at the stone, and of course it "understood" everything. The gravity of the stone suddenly became very huge, as if it had fallen from a height of several hundred meters.

It immediately began to resolve the attack. Since the gravity was now too great, it tried to restore normal gravity, but it found that it could not do it.

Because falling from a high altitude creates greater kinetic energy, which is the rule of this world.

If the original gravity of the stone is restored, it violates the rules of mechanics. After all, the stone falls from a higher place, rather than falling downward from the place where gravity is restored.

The "White Villa" cannot take into account the "acceleration" of falling downwards. If it takes into account the gravity of the previous fall from a higher altitude, it cannot "restore the original gravity of the stone", which will be an ineffective operation for it.

It can only restore the rules of the world, but it cannot change them, not even a little bit.

This is what Hobert just thought of: blocking the bug.

Hobert's experiment of changing the mechanical structure is to test the capabilities of the "White Villa". If it understands the mechanical structure, it can restore its own mechanical structure, but it only restores it and does not make any changes.

Then Hobert designed this tactic to superimpose the two forces. As expected, "White Villa" was unable to perform corresponding operations.

"White Villa" is to master the underlying logic and rules to defuse the target's attacks, and Hobert's approach has always been to destroy and tamper with the underlying logic.

He quickly found the loophole in the "White Villa"'s extraordinary ability and exploited it.

As for the initial "sound wave experiment", Hobert was testing the status of this "white villa". The result of the test was that it had no hearing and should only have visual and spiritual perceptions, so the ultrasonic attack was ignored.

In other words, it needs to follow the rules of the real world, and it is far less flexible and versatile than the "Black Emperor" and "Judge" paths in terms of using the rules and the secrets of extraordinary abilities to resolve enemy attacks.

If you encounter Extraordinaries from other channels, the "White Villa"'s ability to "resolve" extraordinary ability attacks is indeed a headache, but in Hobert's view, its "resolution" is simply not good enough.

wow~

The roof of the "White Villa" was smashed by a stone with huge gravity, and it was quickly riddled with holes.

It was too late when it realized that it didn't have to neutralize the enemy's attacks and could also use its own "secret skills" to protect the roof.

At this time, the air around the "White Villa" was suddenly compressed, forming several small pure white marbles.

"White Villa" "predicted"... In fact, there is no need to "predict" to know that this round of attacks is like before: unsolvable!

So the grass in the courtyard of the "White Villa" suddenly rose up and turned into a green armor protecting the villa.

Boom~

Several explosions sounded simultaneously, causing many surrounding monsters and plants to startle and flee.

Just as the "White Villa" expected, if it restores the original structure of the white "marble", it will be equivalent to detonating it, because the way Hobert detonates the air "marble" is to quickly end its control over it. "tamper".

This is different from the previous strategy of superposition of forces, and it is another loophole in the "White Villa".

wow~

Despite the green armor, a corner of the villa collapsed.

Because Hobert once again "tampered" with the sound waves generated by the explosion, turning it into a very destructive attack!

When the "White Villa" noticed the spirituality, it immediately used the "secret technique" to protect its own structure, but in the end it was still a step too late.

The somewhat embarrassed "villa" turned into a stream of light and left quickly.

The soil that had been entangling Hobert before stopped attacking as if it was lifeless.

Hobert used "distortion" to get down from the soil layer to the outside. He was not stained with soil, because the space around him was in a "chaotic" state, and such physical attacks were basically ineffective.

He smiled slightly: "This is what happens when you tell the rules in front of me."

Hobert still did not pursue him, because monsters at this level not only have many "secret skills" that are difficult to guard against, but the key is that they can also make prophecies within a certain range. Such an opponent is very difficult to deal with.

In fact, if the "White Villa" had been using "secret techniques" to fight Hobert, it would not have been defeated so quickly.

Hobert and Archibald moved on and came to a big tree full of fruits.

The fruit on this big tree is as big as a pear, with many deep wrinkles on it, a bit like the chayote in Hobert's impression.

Behind the big trees are ruins and fields, which look no different from other places.

"'Twist' the space around this tree, and you can see the habitat of the Trunsoest members." Archibald said.

Hobert was about to use the power of "twisting" when a curtain suddenly fell on one side of the tree trunk, revealing a completely different scene.

It was as if time and space were disrupted, or the picture was very abrupt. A normal, inhabited town suddenly appeared among the ruins and wilderness.

At the entrance, there were several people wearing asymmetrical simple robes, who were full of guard against Hobert and Archibald.

The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties with brass-colored hair, staring at Hobert: "Who are you? Did you make the explosion just now?"

The other party spoke the ancient Fusak language. Although the pronunciation was very primitive, you could understand what the other party meant.

Hobert took out the inherited coat of arms of the Trunsoest family, injected it with spirituality, and said in the ancient Fusac language: "I heard that there is another tribe of my people here?"

With the infusion of spirituality, the badge suddenly became three-dimensional again, and the crown on it emitted a faint black light, as if it was really a small crown.

Several people showed surprised expressions. After seven or eight seconds, a scream from the distance made everyone wake up.

Hobert did not look back because his spiritual sense was in danger, and he found that the members of the Trunsoest family opposite had lowered their heads and did not dare to look straight ahead.

This all shows that even taking a look at the source of danger is very dangerous.

The middle-aged man at the head's expression softened a lot: "Come in quickly!"

Using the power of "distortion", Hobert took Archibald and his marionette and immediately entered the "veil".

Hobert discovered that a structure like a water film seemed to be floating behind him, cutting off the outside world.

Inside, there are no ruins, but complete houses. There is an unchanging morning light in the sky. In addition, the place is covered with trees that bear fruits like chayote.

There are melon vines between the trees, and the melon vines are also covered with fruits, as if forming a green net in mid-air.

The whole town was quiet. Except for a few people around Hobert, no one else was moving outside, but Hobert could feel pairs of eyes hiding behind the cracks in the windows.

"You can call me Biqier." The middle-aged leader said.

Hobert also introduced himself: "Hobert."

"Dear Hobert." Bichir asked, "How have you been these past few years?"

"It's very bad. I have been suffering from the family curse." Hobert said truthfully: "I heard that you are not troubled by the curse?"

"Yes, it may be because our responsibilities are different." Bichir said pointedly.

Hobert was slightly startled: "What are your responsibilities?"

Bichir looked Hobert up and down: "Didn't your elders tell you?"

"My father passed away when I was very young." Hobert sighed: "I only learned about your existence from some notes he left and the classics passed down in the family."

"Sorry." Biqier seemed to suddenly understand: "I forgot your curse."

Then he said: "On our side, this is not a secret. You are responsible for welcoming His Majesty the Night Emperor back from the outside world, while we hide here and are responsible for guarding some things."

Having said this, Bichir glanced at Archibald behind him, and it was obvious that his statement was incomplete.

Hobert asked knowingly: "How can we welcome His Majesty the Emperor?"

"do not know?"

Hobert nodded. They didn't know how Trunsoest was resurrected. They only knew that the Night Emperor would be resurrected.

He took a deep breath: "I'm here to come to you. Actually, I still need your help with something."

Hobert went straight to the point: "I need to find the 'Trunsoest Empire' now, and I saw from some of the family's information that you have clues about this ship."

"Yes." Bichir said: "We have the key to enter the Empire."
