Chapter 658 Conditions
Chapter 658 Conditions
"Ok?"
Under the astonished gaze of Director Aquarius, after being chopped by him, the ant representing Director Taurus did not show the familiar golden pocket watch mark on its body, but it flashed slightly and then shattered instantly.
Then, the room where the [Eleven Ant Nests] were stored shattered along with the golden ant, and was replaced by another identical room.
The same half-lit and half-dark room, the same huge eleven ant nests, the same golden ants climbing up the palace... everything is exactly the same as before.
The only difference was that in the dark corner of the room, there was a young man in a gray robe staring at him, sneering at him with an evil and arrogant look on his face.
"Aquarius, the support from the Cleanup Bureau will be here soon. Your plan has completely failed!"
"..."
Even this Leon is fake?
After chopping the evil-faced Leon into pieces with a knife and successfully falling into a "lower" level of dream, Director Aquarius couldn't help but close his eyes as he looked at the new Leon who walked out of the darkness again and smiled evilly at him, and he felt a pain in his temples.
So awake...
This kid had obviously just become a true god and his strength had skyrocketed, but he had no intention of relying on his strength at all. Instead, he came here with the intention of delaying time from the beginning.
If I guessed correctly, he should be laying down layer after layer of dreams outside the nightmare I was in, and maybe he had already laid down hundreds of layers, and this was exactly what I was most worried about.
Even though he used the remains of the Nightmare King to break through the barrier between humans and gods in one fell swoop and possessed power similar to or even twice as strong as he did now, in a contest at the level of "True God", the strength of the power was not that important.
If Leon really becomes arrogant and wants to compete with me, even if he is not easily killed by me, I will immediately find his flaws and break free from the dream, thus completing the goal of replacing Taurus.
But now he didn't even contact me, instead he came up and started to fight with consumption, which made people feel uncomfortable.
He had already spent a lot of effort when dragging the Fallen Soul Black Abyss here, and he had also consumed a lot of energy when opening the seal of the [Three-Headed Bronze Door], and he also had a "hard fight" with the ant representing the archer. His current condition can be said to be extremely bad.
What's even more terrible is that even this little remaining strength cannot be fully used to fight Leon. If he spends too much of his strength on him, he may not be able to squeeze the bull down even after the ceremony, let alone walk up the more than 10,000 steps to the palace.
"Let's talk!"
After checking his current state, Director Aquarius decisively gave up on continuing to fight with Leon, and instead put away the golden knife and said to Leon in the corner:
"I admit that you can indeed trap me until the support from the Cleanup Bureau arrives, but if you continue to trap me, you will probably regret it for the rest of your life."
"?"
With Leon's alert expression, Director Aquarius slowly spread out his right hand, revealing three ants on it, one large and two small, and then spoke calmly:
"Let's make a deal! You let me go and I'll return the three of them to you. What do you think?"
you? !
After noticing the three little ants on Director Aquarius's hand, Leon's pupils suddenly shrank, and then his entire soul began to tense up uncontrollably.
Since Director Aquarius could use them to threaten him, he naturally didn't care about the identities of these three ants, but...
"I do not believe."
After a brief pause, Leon continued to pile up nightmares while saying coldly:
"Aquarius, I don't think you could have predicted the current situation. These three ants can't be them. You are definitely kidding me!"
"No, I really couldn't foresee the current situation, but I know what to do to get to the Watchtower Palace."
Director Aquarius smiled and then asked:
"Leon, do you know the Wishing Roulette?" Wishing Roulette?
After hearing what Director Aquarius said, Leon recalled a little and found that the director seemed to have asked Director Taurus to temporarily unseal the item and let him use it once, but was finally rejected by Director Taurus.
"Are you talking about... the one with number 005, which is listed after the [Twelve Ant Nest]?"
"Yeah, that's it."
After nodding slightly, Director Aquarius said calmly:
"Since you know this, it's easy to talk about it...
The Wishing Wheel is the undisputed universal wishing machine. Every cleaner who successfully succeeds to the position of director is eligible to use the Wishing Wheel once to fulfill his or her wish. The wish I made at the time was to successfully ascend to the Watchtower Palace. "
what? !
When he heard this, Leon's heart couldn't help but be slightly startled.
According to what he had learned from the director, the result of the wishing roulette was almost "absolute". As long as he followed the conditions given and completed all of them one by one, he would almost certainly be able to realize his wish.
If Aquarius really used this thing and made a wish to ascend to the palace, then it would be almost unstoppable for him to replace Lord Taurus and ascend to the palace.
"A set of anomalies used to replace the target's existence, a group of complex souls that are divided into good and evil and do not touch each other, a most thorough and ultimate death, and a clean new life that throws away all the past."
He raised his left hand, which had just been taken over, with his palm facing Leon, and pressed four fingers in sequence. Director Aquarius said calmly:
"These four items are the prerequisites given by the Prayer Wheel for me to ascend to the Watch Palace. I have already accomplished all of them. As for the specific methods, they should be considered successful now."
At this point, under Leon's frowning gaze, Director Aquarius turned his left hand over, facing his palm towards himself, and continued counting on his fingers:
"In the darkest hour of the night, summon the black tide, add a heavy object to the blood-red hair that blocks the way, obtain three-twelfths of the palm and the secret language, find the man who is free from fate, and offer him a deal that will not be refused..."
With each time the Aquarius director closed his fingers, Leon's expression darkened a little. When the last little finger was clasped back into the palm of his hand, Leon in the shadow was silent for a few seconds, then he took the initiative to remove the layers of dreams he had set up and put the Aquarius director back into reality.
"Thank you."
After taking out the golden knife and gently slashing at the golden ants that were climbing up the palace, Director Aquarius threw the three ants in his hand back into the room. Then he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and showed a smile that only belonged to a winner to Leon who had no expression on his face, and said jokingly:
"I'm sorry, these three ants are not your family members. I just caught them casually before... But I'm not lying to you. After all, you don't dare to bet whether what I said is true or not, right?"
"..."
"farewell."
After smiling at Leon, whose cheeks twitched slightly, the Aquarius director, who looked pleased, waved goodbye with a smile:
"Although you caused me a lot of trouble, you also helped me a lot, so..."
"So, did you use the [Wish Wheel] or not?"
Why do you care if I used the Wishing Wheel or not?
Facing Leon's question, Director Aquarius was slightly startled, then nodded and said:
"used."
Did you use that thing...
After receiving a positive answer, Leon pondered for a moment, then removed the last layer of the dream that he had worked hard to create, and put Director Aquarius back into the real reality.
"please."
"?!!"
As Director Aquarius' eyes suddenly widened, Leon raised his right arm expressionlessly and made a gesture of invitation to the golden ant that was climbing up the palace.
"Don't worry, this time it's real. I'm not going to stop you anymore."
