Crazy Watcher, Mirror Trial!
Chapter 641: The Crazy Watchers, Mirror Trial!
As the prompt ended, two beams of white light suddenly shot down from the sky.
Floating within each beam of white light was a mirror.
Liu Muxue and Bai Zhi looked at each other in surprise.
Then they each reached out and took down the mirrors.
When they saw the attributes on them, surprise simultaneously flashed in the eyes of the two women.
"To think… there are such magical mirrors," Bai Zhi exclaimed.
Liu Muxue's eyes also flashed with an excited light, "Yes, and these two mirrors seem to be one.
If used in combination, the effect will be even more powerful."
Hearing this, Bai Zhi was slightly stunned, and then said, "Give this mirror to you as well."
Liu Muxue chuckled and shook her head, "I can't, Sister Bai Zhi. Once these two mirrors are picked up, they automatically bind to the user."
"Only when we are together can we unleash the combined effect of these two mirrors."
"Is that so? What a pity—"
Bai Zhi shook her head regretfully: "In this way, we can only use the ability of one mirror, and the effect is greatly discounted."
Hearing this, Liu Muxue seemed to think of something and chuckled, "Not necessarily."
"Hmm?" Bai Zhi looked at her in confusion.
Liu Muxue: "If Sister Bai Zhi is willing to join our territory, we can fight together later and unleash the combined effect of these two mirrors."
"Join… your territory?"
Bai Zhi was stunned, then asked, "You mean, join Cao Xing's territory?"
"Yes!"
Liu Muxue nodded, a hint of pride in her tone: "Currently our territory is in a stage of rapid development. From what I can tell of Ah Xing's intentions, he plans to expand the territory again next time, which will require a large amount of manpower."
"It also includes talents among the Blue Star Survivors."
"If Sister Bai Zhi can join our territory, we will all warmly welcome you."
Hearing this, Bai Zhi fell into a brief silence, a trace of hesitation flashing in her eyes.
A moment later, she gently shook her head: "Let's talk about it later, I'll consider it more."
Liu Muxue also knew that such matters could not be rushed and needed to be done step by step.
She stopped continuing this topic, instead looking at a glowing door ahead, an expectant look appearing in her eyes.
"The entrance to the final round of trial has appeared, Sister Bai Zhi, let's go challenge it together."
"Okay." Bai Zhi nodded, her expression turning icy once again.
This also meant that she had entered a serious state once more.
With these words, the two women stepped together into the slightly glowing door.
"Hum—"
With a strange fluctuation, as if stepping into some kind of teleportation channel, the space in front of them shifted.
When all the strange sights dissipated, a dark environment appeared before the two women.
Nothing could be seen or perceived here, as if they were placed in a nihilistic abyss.
And at this moment, a peculiar sound rang out.
"Drip—"
Like the sound of a drop of water falling into the water surface, crisp and ethereal.
Then, they finally saw the scene in a small area in front of them.
After that drop of water fell into the surface, it stirred up ripples.
And as the ripples spread, the surrounding darkness quickly receded, allowing them to completely see the scene before them.
At this moment, Liu Muxue and Bai Zhi appeared above a pitch-black large lake, separated by an extremely distant distance from each other.
About four or five kilometers apart, they could only vaguely see each other's figures.
The lake water was as black as ink, yet as calm as a mirror, clearly reflecting the reflections of the two.
They subconsciously looked down.
The reflection under their feet also lowered its head.
Confused expressions appeared on their faces, and confused expressions likewise appeared on the reflections below.
No matter what they did, these two reflections maintained identical movements.
At first glance, it seemed there was no problem, but Liu Muxue always felt a bit unnatural in her heart.
"Sister Bai Zhi, these reflections seem a bit wrong."
Liu Muxue opened the team voice channel, a hint of vigilance in her tone.
After all, their current distance was too far apart.
Hearing this, Bai Zhi fixed her gaze tightly on the reflection beneath her feet.
And that reflection also gazed back at her, just like the existence of two worlds staring at each other.
And Bai Zhi indeed saw the wrongness of the reflection in the water.
Her appearance looked completely identical to her own, and even her posture was entirely the same.
However, she always felt there was some abnormality…
This abnormality could not be described in words; only she herself could see the weirdness within it.
"Bizarre."
After observing for a moment, Bai Zhi seemed to finally notice what was wrong!
The eyes of this reflection!
Her eyes looked normal, but her expression was incomparably cold, a kind of complete indifference.
As if this were just a moving corpse.
Bai Zhi frowned slightly, and the reflection beneath the water surface seemed to realize that she had been seen through.
Then, the other 'Bai Zhi' slowly raised her head, a weird, distorted smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.
The next moment, endless dark breath spread, as if about to devour the two women!
An invisible crisis enveloped them, making even Liu Muxue feel a sense of crisis.
Liu Muxue instantly raised the weapon in her hand and shouted softly: "Sister Bai Zhi, come over to my side."
"Okay!"
Just as Bai Zhi was about to rush over, a system prompt simultaneously appeared in front of the two women.
[Attention Challengers! Angel Inheritance Final Trial: Trial of Heart has opened.]
[In the first five rounds of trials, you have proven yourselves to possess powerful combat power, noble character, and tenacious willpower.]
[Now you need to defeat the final enemy, who is also the most powerful enemy.]
[Trial content: Defeat your mirrored self. This mirror possesses all your abilities, including skills, status, equipment—and possesses even stronger combat awareness!]
When the prompt ended.
Bai Zhi and Liu Muxue were surprised to find that the reflection under their feet suddenly disappeared.
Their shadows seemed to have run away on their own, leaving the pitch-black water surface completely bare.
And at this moment, two figures emerged from the water surface, standing beside them,
a creature completely identical in appearance to Liu Muxue, even down to the shield, armor, and weapon in her hand.
What shocked her even more was that above this Liu Muxue before her, green healing numbers of +147184, +147184 continuously appeared!
"This is… Ah Xing's special ability, why does this mirror also have this kind of ability?" Liu Muxue exclaimed softly.
Her gaze quickly swept across this mirror's panel, landing on 'her' status bar.
A large string of buff statuses instantly appeared on it, aside from blessing skills like Queens Will and Lightning Dragon Descent.
Even the permanent [Blessing of Courage] and [Aurora Splendor · Sky Fall] these two powerful buff statuses were possessed!
"Oh god—could this mirror have copied Ah Xing's special ability?"
"How is this possible?"
For the first time in this inheritance, Liu Muxue felt shocked.
But soon, she discovered the clue.
Although this "Mirrored Liu Muxue" also possessed various permanent statuses, the various status skills she subsequently cast on herself all had time limits.
In other words, the opponent did not copy Cao Xing's [Eternal Power] talent.
What it copied was merely Liu Muxue's panel and statuses.
As an SSS-rank heaven-defying talent, even the Angel Inheritance had no qualification to touch it at all.
But even so, the "Mirrored Liu Muxue" before them was an extremely tricky enemy!
After all, only Liu Muxue knew how terrifying an enemy like her, blessed with various permanent statuses, could be!
That was simply a monster that could be called immortal!
Including Bai Zhi beside her, a woman identical to her in appearance, exuding an icy aura, appeared before her.
Liu Muxue took a deep breath and said with a serious expression: "Sister Bai Zhi, be careful."
"The enemy is more powerful than we imagined, I need to focus all my attention to deal with her, and cannot look after your side."
Hearing this, Bai Zhi in the distance also nodded solemnly, "I know, you be careful too."
"I will resolve this enemy."
As the original strongest powerhouse of District 18, this woman also possessed her own pride in her heart!
The next moment, the illusion before them instantly vanished, actively rushing towards the two!
Liu Muxue and Bai Zhi stood in strict formation.
The moment the enemy rushed over, the four figures swung their weapons simultaneously!
"Clang—"
Four weapons collided, sending ripples across the pitch-black lake beneath their feet!
The battle erupted in an instant!
While Liu Muxue was challenging the angel heritage, Cao Xing's combatants were not idle either.
They were still scouring all over the world, clearing out a large number of blood soldiers.
The five powerhouses, including Braum, were also acting in a joint operation to destroy more blood teleportation pillars.
Throughout the entire day, the Blood Legion only activated 5 blood teleportation pillars, but Braum and the others destroyed 9 of them.
Their number was dwindling, and it was on the verge of falling below 20.
On the rule barriers of this world, the holes were getting smaller and smaller, and even the blood clouds overhead had grown much dimmer. It seemed that the Blood Chaos was about to come to a complete end.
In the Abyssal Land, the imprisoned deities watched the increasingly dim sky overhead, their expressions growing more and more gloomy.
This dark plane began to be permeated with a terrifying and dangerous aura, as if even the air had become viscous and heavy.
The atmosphere was suffocatingly oppressive.
Démǔ, the Nightmare God, said in a deep voice, "What on earth are Luo and those guys in the Blood Legion doing?"
"The Blood Chaos hasn't even been open for a week, and not only are the teleportation pillars dwindling in number, but they are now about to be completely cleared out!"
"If this continues, we will completely lose all hope of breaking free!"
"Dammit!"
His voice was filled with anger and unwillingness, like a trapped beast frantically biting at its cage.
On the other side, an ancient will slowly spoke, "For blood to be suppressed to this extent within a week is something that has never happened in history."
"Even the fastest time it was repelled took more than three months, and back then, the Blood Legion was almost sweeping across half the continent."
Over on the Main Plane, an unprecedented change might have truly occurred, making even that little fellow who fancied himself a savior feel helpless.
Hearing this, another deity asked in a low voice, "Did the Human Empire break free from Morpheus's dream and send out a demigod?"
The Nightmare God immediately rebutted, "Impossible!"
"The dream woven by the Ancient Giant Dragon Morpheus—even at my peak state, I was utterly unable to find the slightest trace of awakening."
"Only by mastering the power of dreams oneself can one know how terrifying that true god-level dragon is!"
His tone carried a deep sense of dread, as if even mentioning Morpheus's name was a taboo.
The atmosphere fell into silence once again, and all the deities understood in their hearts that Démǔ was speaking the truth.
true god-level power far exceeded their imagination!
At this moment, a glowing will slowly spoke, its tone carrying a hint of certainty, "There is no need to rush. That self-important little fellow is no simple matter."
"Even if earth-shattering changes have occurred outside, the Blood Chaos is not so easily ended."
Upon hearing this, Démǔ quickly asked, "Uriel, why are you so certain?"
That glowing will said indifferently, "Because this little fellow has inherited the heritage of the ancient human race, and furthermore, he is a madman."
"When he goes crazy, even I have to be three parts wary of him."
Hearing this, a flash of complex light crossed the eyes of the deities, as if they were pondering something.
Tens of thousands of meters high in the sky, fierce winds howled, and the lowest temperature reached below -80°C.
The piercing cold seemed capable of freezing everything!
Yet in this environment, two formidable figures hovered mid-air. The howling cold currents and chilly winds instantly calmed down the moment they approached them.
It was as if even this power of heaven and earth could not shake them in the slightest.
These two figures were none other than the Blood Commander and the Watchers Leader.
At this moment, the Blood Commander's expression grew increasingly cold and gloomy as he asked in a deep voice, "Luo, how is the plan progressing?"
"That damn Otherworld Lord is still continuously destroying my blood teleportation pillars. If this goes on, once all the teleportation pillars are destroyed, the passageway between the two realms will also be completely closed!"
"Within a millennium, we will not be able to make blood descend upon the Main Plane again."
The Watchers Leader's expression remained calm at this moment; he appeared extremely composed.
"It's almost there. After these past few days of operations, the progress has reached well over 80%."
"However, after the plan succeeds next, a large number of manpower will still be needed. How many Myriarchs have you summoned over here?"
"Three!"
The Blood Commander said in a deep voice, "There are still many Myriarchs in the Blood Plane, but too many blood teleportation pillars have been destroyed, coupled with that kid's suppression of us, the blood energy is simply insufficient to support more Myriarchs coming to this plane."
The Watchers Leader nodded slightly and then said, "I understand. Next, we need to speed up the progress. The blood armies in other places will continue to advance, delaying the Legendary operations on Cao Xing's side."
"This is a race against time, and the advantage is on our side."
"As long as I am still here, this operation will not fail."
"All decayed conventions will inevitably be washed away under the scouring of blood."
His voice exuded intense firmness, as if he had already made up his mind on something.
And if Cao Xing were here, he would definitely feel vigilant.
Through the previous analysis, it was already known that the Watchers Leader was an extremely extreme idealist.
Once he made a certain decision, he would stop at nothing to achieve his goal.
Even sacrificing himself along the way.
The Watchers Leader in this state was also in his most dangerous state!
After the sky had completely darkened,
Cao Xing stood in the center of the territory and shouted, "All staff members, today's work ends here."
"Now start heading to the cafeteria in batches for dinner."
As a Hero-level powerhouse, his control over magic power had reached a miraculous realm.
Through the vibration of magic power, he could clearly transmit his voice to every corner within four to five kilometers around him.
Thereby achieving an amplification effect.
The staff members throughout the territory stopped what they were doing one after another, then laid the stones and wood in their hands on the ground.
After a whole day of high-intensity labor, some of the staff members had normal expressions, but others had looks of relief on their faces.
They let out a heavy sigh, and then could not help whispering, "It's finally over—the work in this territory is simply suffocating, right, Mr. Everton?"
"Yeah—when I was in the village, I never did heavy labor like this. I don't know how long these old bones of mine can hold out."
Over the past two days, Cao Xing had recruited six or seven hundred staff members.
These people came from different places, and their identities and statuses were also different.
Many of them had never done this kind of physical labor before.
Suddenly entering a high-intensity working state all at once, some of them couldn't quite adapt.
At this time, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early thirties interrupted, "Stop complaining, all of you. Look at old Mr. Ferguson."
"He's already decades old, and his legs were even eroded by the blood of those monsters, making it difficult for him to walk."
"He hasn't said anything, so what do you all have to say?"
"Or rather, do you want to continue living that life of fleeing?"
These words immediately shut the others up.
Although the work in the territory was heavy, compared to the days they had experienced before, it was already like being in heaven.
Meanwhile, that young man from Frostwind Town, Joren Green, was also slowly walking over from the agricultural area.
As he walked, he stretched his body, a look of pain also appearing on his face.
Having labored for a day, his arms were already numb, and he even felt like his shoulders no longer belonged to him.
At this time, two Frostwind Town residents hurried over with looks of concern on their faces.
"Young Master Joren, you've worked hard today. Would you like us to help massage your shoulders and help you relax?" one of them asked in a low voice, his tone full of worry.
Joren waved his hand, his tone calm yet firm, "No need."
"Just as I said during the day, since we have joined this territory, we must forget our past identities."
"I am no longer a noble, and you are no longer residents of Frostwind Town."
"Now we only have one common goal of allegiance, Lord Cao Xing!"
