Chapter 907 Nightmare
The Gaze of the Three Eyes of the Netherworld was Liu Xiaoxiao's strongest spiritual attack, but Hermes was in a state where his spiritual defenses were deprived and he was controlled by intertwined illusions, so he could not resist this attack at all.
The next moment, the body exploded.
But at this moment, Liu Xiaoxiao's Eye of Destiny suddenly gave him an ominous premonition.
Without hesitation, he moved instantly and appeared thousands of meters away.
A black iron trident suddenly appeared at the spot, cutting through the void and causing the surrounding space to appear to be torn apart.
Liu Xiaoxiao did not pay attention to the attack of Yaksha, but turned his attention back to where Hermes was originally.
The God of Commerce's Scepter shattered into thin air and disappeared, leaving only debris that was quickly burned by the flames.
"The stand-in... is a projection?" Liu Xiaoxiao quickly understood that Hermes only appeared in the form of projection, using the power of the God of Commerce's Scepter to disguise himself as his real body, and his original body was now unknown.
However, even with the projection method, not every carrier can withstand super-god-level power. Only carriers that are also super-god-level can be suitable for this method. Although it is unknown where carriers of this level come from, there must not be too many.
In other words, at least one of Hermes' super-god-level substitutes was defeated, so it can't be said that there was no gain.
"Really cautious..." Liu Xiaoxiao frowned. Even if he tried to use the Eye of Destiny to look for Hermes, it would probably be difficult to find any trace of Hermes.
Besides, now is not the time to deal with Hermes, as there is a Yaksha god in front of us.
Compared to Hermes, Yaksha controls part of the underworld's central control, has a higher level of cultivation, and holds a deity status, making him more difficult to deal with. At least the plan that was used to deal with Hermes before would not work.
Liu Xiaoxiao assisted the six gods in fighting against the Yaksha God.
……
Long Haoyue recalled an event that happened a long time ago.
It was not long after he had just awakened his martial soul. Led by his clan elders, he participated in a dinner party in Tiandou City.
Since soul masters usually awaken their martial spirits at the age of six, each large family has formed a tradition, that is, the annual exhibition. At the exhibition, talented young soul masters from each family will gather. On the one hand, they are introduced to the elders of each large family, and on the other hand, it is also for those boys and girls to get to know each other. After all, they may very well be the heirs of the family in the future, and perhaps even partners in the soul master team.
Long Haoyue still remembered that the exhibition was held in Tiandou City that year, and it was at that time that he met Leng Chunlei.
He was attracted to Leng Chunlei when he saw her for the first time.
In his eyes, she was the most beautiful woman in the world, even though he was only six years old at the time and knew nothing about the emotions between men and women.
As both of them were outstandingly talented in their respective families and their martial spirit attributes were similar, the interactions between them became increasingly frequent, from correspondence in the beginning to exchanging soul communicator numbers later. They often met after training, and even trained together, and accidentally discovered the martial spirit fusion technique.
In the world of soul masters, people who possess the skill of soul fusion will almost always be lifelong partners. Their relationship is so close that someone once joked that they would rather have a two-in-one soul fusion skill than a three-in-one soul fusion skill, because it often brings all kinds of emotional troubles.
After the two major families learned that the two had the skill of fusion of martial souls, they immediately received great attention. The family leaders even arranged a marriage for them and let them live together.
However, this also caused another problem between them, that is, they were too familiar with each other.
Long Haoyue himself didn't understand whether he felt more love or family affection for Leng Chunlei.
Soul masters are stronger than ordinary people, and have more physical advantages. Their physical puberty and youth are much longer than those of ordinary people. In addition, there is often a complex network of relationships between them, such as cooperation and competition, so it is much more troublesome for them to deal with emotions than ordinary people.
Originally, this was just a trivial matter, and Long Haoyue didn't think much about it, because he knew very well that Leng Chunlei was the most important person to him in this world, and there was no doubt about that.
And as long as you stick to this point, other issues don't matter.
They are already around forty years old and are no longer young. Although as soul masters, especially the Ultimate Douluo, they are still young physically, but they are already mature psychologically and know what is important and what is not.
However, now, the confusion and hesitation in the deepest part of his heart were aroused.
The God of Heart Demon has been practicing in the underworld for tens of thousands of years, and has already thoroughly studied the human heart. To him, simply stirring up the heart demon is nothing, not to mention that the other party has been planted with the heart demon seed by the Rakshasa Underworld Messenger.
Honestly speaking, with his strength, he could easily kill everyone, but that was not in line with their purpose. If they wanted to use this strategy of driving the tiger to devour the wolf, it was necessary to guide them step by step.
From the perspective of the God of Inner Demons, the demons and monsters had already stopped attacking, and the Extreme Douluos were like puppets, moving slowly in one direction.
He continued to deepen the influence of his inner demon, and Long Haoyue's memories kept flashing.
The day they first met, the day they played together in Tiandou City Amusement Park, the day they entered Shrek Academy together, the day they had their first date, the day they joined the Spirit Pagoda, the day they entered the inner courtyard together, the day they swore their vows on the Sea God Lake, the day they were newly married...
With every scene that flashed by, a certain idea in his mind would become more intense.
Even a simple story about childhood sweethearts heading for a happy future will have problems, and now, those problems are erupting one by one.
The God of Inner Demon looked at it from afar and frowned slightly.
I don’t know if it’s because their will is too strong or for some other reason, but the effect of the inner demon seems not as good as he expected.
Originally he would not care about such trivial matters, but now his goal is to cause a struggle between the gods and the Yaksha factions, so he naturally cannot be careless.
He tried to pry into Long Haoyue's heart and found that Long Haoyue was still in inner torment, so he dispelled his concerns.
In Long Haoyue's mind, countless questions poured out like springs, and almost all of them were related to Leng Chunlei.
However, every problem that arose would disappear in a very short time, and his emotions were gradually calmed down.
The scenes of the memories remain, but the way I think about these scenes has changed drastically, from a negative perspective to a positive one, and joy and happiness grow from within.
His consciousness seemed to be connected with Leng Chunlei, and countless golden rays of light shone in the sea of spirituality, and were about to dispel the power of those demons in his heart.
At this time, a voice emerged in his heart: "Don't dispel those inner demons for the time being, use willpower to fight. I will use the power of emotions to smooth out your emotional fluctuations and continue to pretend to be controlled."
"Who are you?" Long Haoyue was surprised, but still did as the other party asked.
There seemed to be a power in the other person's words that could not be disobeyed and made people want to obey.
"It's me, the Law Enforcer. I left a part of my spirit in your sea of spirit. Now the Hades is using the power of the inner demon to infect your mind. Stay true to your heart and don't be overwhelmed by that power."
The voice that appeared in Long Haoyue's mind came from Liu Xiaoxiao's clone. A long time ago, before the war in Mingdu broke out, he had already split into thousands of clones, some of which were sleeping in the spiritual sea of these talented soul masters as a backup.
Rakshasa is good at instigating and causing chaos and evil thoughts, so we must guard against him. With his ability to control emotions, he can at least ensure that these young geniuses will not be easily polluted and corrupted by the power of Hades.
The others also gradually returned to normal under Liu Xiaoxiao's emotional control and were covered up by his illusions. The more troublesome ones were Ling Lixuan and Gao Zhen.
Gao Zhen has the seed of the inner demon that was just implanted by the Rakshasa Underworld Envoy in his heart, and Ling Lixuan's memory problems seem to have originated from a long time ago. He had been infected in the war to wipe out the headquarters of the Netherworld Palace, just like the one imprisoned in Mingdu Prison.
However, Ling Lixuan's spiritual pollution was at a deeper level, so the external manifestation was not obvious. In addition, he obtained the Holy Sword Martial Soul soon after that and was purified by divine power for a long time. On the surface, there was no problem. However, in the process of his travel to the underworld, this problem was stimulated, and in the form of an explosion.
Liu Xiaoxiao had no way to deal with this. After all, he only had a small part of his spirit left, and he didn't know much about the methods of the God of the Underworld. If his real body was here, there would be a way, but now they could only rely on themselves.
……
In a corner of the underworld, Hermes held two scepters of the god of commerce that broke through the air, his face gloomy.
Although he obtained a lot of corpses and spirits of gods from the Asgard plane group during the Ragnarok, the number of them that reached the super-god level was not large. He also lost a lot in the previous years, and there are not many left now. Every loss is not a trivial matter to him.
With his cautious character, he would never use his real body easily, and his control over the art of projection has reached a superb level. As long as there is a suitable carrier, he can perform projection.
Compared with clones, projection can be carried out as long as there is a carrier and does not require long-term gestation. It is much more convenient in many cases, but the super-god-level carrier cannot withstand the loss.
During that period of time, his penetration into the core of the underworld was almost zero. If he continued at that speed, it would take tens of thousands of years to complete, and that's tens of thousands of years in the underworld.
However, the previous time also made him understand a problem. The place he found before was actually just a projection of the center of the underworld, which was considered a bait. The real body of the center of the underworld was somewhere else.
And based on the connection between the central projection of the underworld and the main body, he has already found that place.
Hermes straightened the feather hat on his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, an identical version of himself appeared in front of him - that was a projection he created using a super-god-level carrier.
He handed the two business god scepters to the projection, and the next moment, his projection disappeared without a trace.
……
In the dark night, starlight shines in the courtyard.
Liu Xiaoxiao's incarnation was sitting in a room next to the courtyard. The golden net detached from his body and fell into the hands of someone.
He looked intently, and even at night, the other person's face was still clearly visible.
The other party was none other than the president of the Star Luo Empire Blacksmiths Association, the master craftsman Lin Xi!
