Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

At the stargazing ruins, Se Lian was excitedly sorting out the star data and was ready for further research.

Suddenly I felt a little hot around me - not as simple as a little hot.

Se Lian turned her gaze and found that the observatory, which had just been completed not long ago, already had a gap, right where Wuming originally stood. Lava is still flowing at the edge of the gap, and the lava drips and burns the base below.

My observatory! Se Lian exclaimed and looked down along the gap.

Wuming was filled with flames, standing on the pedestal, staring blankly ahead, his eyes empty. The air around him was distorted, and the base gradually became soft and curved.

What are you doing?! He whispered, trying to shake Wuming's shoulders.

But the armor on Wuming's body was burning red, and after shaking it twice, Se Lian's hands were already covered with burns.

Se Lian stood on the increasingly red-hot pedestal, like an ant on a hot pot, not knowing how to make Wuming stop.

Se Lian had just driven away Millicent. There was no one around, and no one who wanted to help could be found.

Se Lian was anxious when she saw a person coming from far away. She waved to the man:

Hey, come and help me!

The man didn't change his pace because of Se Lian's words. While trekking on the snow-capped mountains, he soon arrived at the stargazing ruins. He was a man wearing a pot on his head.

Hu Nan walked up to the stargazing ruins, then passed by Se Lian and the stargazing platform, ignoring Wuming who was on fire.

Se Lian followed:

Do me a favor, do you have any curling stones or something? Help me bring down the fire for the people over there.

The pot man subconsciously threw a few ice kettles to Se Lian and continued on his own path.

Thank you, what's this in your hand? Se Lian noticed the big meat ball in the pot man's arms.

The pot man was stunned, puffed up his chest, and said loudly to the person behind him:

These are the contents of Alexander, the bones of a hero.

After the pot man finished speaking, he left. The stargazing ruins were not far from the portal. He walked to the portal and disappeared behind it.

Se Lian got the ice kettle, turned around and was about to throw it at Wuming, when she suddenly noticed that Wuming had changed again.

Just after hearing the news of Alexander's death, Wuming's originally quiet body began to tremble.

As if a certain balance had been broken, the flames that were originally confined near the armor expanded at a rapid rate.

In Se Lian's eyes, the nameless figure disappeared, the observatory also disappeared, leaving only an extremely bright light in his eyes.

Patch returned to the starting point of the snow mountain a few days ago, carrying Tanis and Laya on his back, and met with other employees.

Patch looked at Serui's clone that was forcibly carried up the snowy mountain, smiled and nodded:

It's not bad. We're not here, so you guys are doing a pretty good job.

But other businesses are almost dying. The employee reported to Patch, Why did you go? Did you go on your honeymoon with the big boss?

I went on my honeymoon with Tanith, Patch said. All preparations have been made, and the luggage has been delivered to the destination.

So irresponsible? The employee was shocked.

When did you have the illusion that I am a responsible man? Patch smiled.

After laughing, he said to Tanis who was sitting on his back:

Of course, I will be responsible for you.

Patch asked the employee: Where is Wuming?

I went to the snowy mountains. I don't know where I went. The employees said, Otherwise, I wouldn't be so passive.

The teacher is back. Millicent responded from a distance on the rail car.

She jumped onto the rails:

I'm at the Stargazing Ruins with Se Lian.

Millicent is a little concerned:

Se Lian said that the teacher's condition is not right.

That's so right. If he's in the right condition, can I go on vacation? Patch said.

Suddenly there was an explosion from the stargazing ruins in the distance, and a huge fire rose up.

A dark figure flew up in the sky, leaped across the entire railway track, and landed in front of everyone.

Most of the charred body was shattered when it hit the ground.

Patch stepped forward and turned over his charred body, touching his bald head and chin:

Judging from some remaining pieces of clothing... it should be Se Lian.

No one paid attention to Patch's judgment. Except for him, everyone looked in the direction of the Star Observation Ruins.

A huge fireball rose from the snowy mountains and then turned into a mushroom cloud.

Strangely, the black mushroom cloud did not disperse, but became more viscous, and then continued to expand.

It took a while for the storm to arrive, but fortunately the snow had been cleared by the tracks and there were many huge wooden piles, so everyone was not blown away and buried alive.

At the same time, the contiguous snow-capped mountains began to tremble, the entire snowfield continued to vibrate, and roars resounded throughout the snowfield.

In the horrified gaze of everyone, those long-dead mountain-like giants on the snowy mountains in the distance stood up again one by one, letting out earth-shattering roars. The color of the sky and the earth changed, and the snow-capped mountains trembled.

Teacher? Millicent was shocked, The teacher is still over there!

You don't have to worry about him, just worry about yourself. Patch curled his lips, I'm afraid he is the cause of this movement.

Patch stared sadly at the materialized mushroom cloud:

The flames are enough to burn down the golden tree, and the giant has returned from the kingdom of death. Have I mistakenly entered some mythical apocalypse...

========

A cliff valley in Yatan, where Millicent met the statue of Michaela.

This place is inaccessible and is a rare remote place in Yatan.

Next to the statue of Michaela at the bottom of the valley, Michaela's giant cocoon is hidden here.

Although this is Mikaela's true body, Mikaela did not ask anyone to guard it. Even the original transportation here was done in secret. Almost no one knew Mikaela's true location.

Wuming was also worried that arranging Mikaela in this way would cause safety problems, but Mikaila insisted that it would be safer.

For people like Chapolili, it is indeed more dangerous if someone is around.

But at this moment, several figures stood above the dark passage leading to the giant cocoon and the cliff, approaching Mikaela's cocoon.

Everyone wore the same faint smile, which was quite strange.

Several people circled around the cliff and valley, and then fell one after another.

The soft flesh fell to the bottom of the valley, and rounds of blood exploded on the ground, making the surrounding holy blood tree buds more vivid.

Then the smashed pieces of flesh surged and stood up again with their smashed faces. Half of the eyeballs fell out, and each one exuded a yellowish molten stench.

Ms. Michaela. Those people spoke at the same time, and their voices resonated in the valley. You don't think that Chappoli's eyes can't see you if you hide here, do you?

The giant cocoon remained silent and did not respond.

Yes, I have forgotten that in your current posture, if there is no other person as a mouthpiece, you will not even be able to see me. Chapolili looked quite regretful, A great man of God has become like this, It’s really miserable, let me help you out.”

Those half-rotten corpses surrounded the giant cocoon, and their eyes simultaneously burst into flames, aiming at the giant cocoon.

The surrounding holy blood tree buds exploded, and the bright red juice blocked this volley of epileptic fire.

Blood splashed onto the ground, bouncing off as if alive.

A hoarse voice came from the giant cocoon:

You are wrong. I can hear and see. I just don't want to see with these eyes and hear with these ears.

From the crack in the giant cocoon, a golden eye can be vaguely seen peering out:

So Chappoli, after the contract was completed, you came to kill me?

After the contract is completed, we naturally have no relationship. Shapolili smiled, Next, you have to do your own thing. As a god, you should understand this truth.

Shapolili covered his eyes:

Similarly, you are a god, and you are indeed a big threat. Whether it is you or Godfrey, you individuals have gathered too much power. This is not good. All the power should belong to us, the king of epileptic fire. You still die. Bar.

With the giant cocoon at the center, a halo of pink and lavender spread, surrounding the entire valley, enveloping everyone.

When the ambiguous color dissipated, those people were still surrounding the giant cocoon, and the fire in their eyes became stronger and stronger.

It's useless, Lady Michaela. Chapolili said, Just as you can't peek into my heart, your power to sow discord between individuals is ineffective against me and us. We don't distinguish between each other, we don't Barriers, shared strength, we will not be touched by the faintest flirtation.”

As the only person in the distance, Chappolili opened his arms and shouted fervently:

We are pure power, chaos itself, the tendency of all things destined to chaos. I am destiny!

I don't really believe in fate. Michaela smiled, My mother's eternal reincarnation is too cruel and too boring for me.

A voice came from the giant cocoon:

You're right about one thing. The deal is done. It's time for us to do our own things. It's really unpleasant to use this power...

Epileptic fire burst out from the eyes of the crowd, but at the moment it burst out, their heads exploded, and blood flowers caught up with the flames, extinguishing everything.

The heads were just the beginning, their bodies also began to explode one by one, and blood flowers bloomed at the bottom of the valley, turning the originally peaceful valley bottom into a terrifying blood pool.

Only the outermost Charbolli didn't explode completely - he only had his limbs blown off.

The blood surged, as if there was life, and turned into reins, lifting the already adult Shapolili to the gap in the giant cocoon. The eyes in the gap looked at Shapolili,

Chappoli smiled, and there was no visible impact on all his limbs being severed:

As expected of the god Mikaela, he still has a hand. This is not like your power.

It's not your power that makes you what you are today. Michaela said, Now, die.

It's a pity that I am immortal, Shapolili said, and my mission has been completed. Despair has reached the threshold, and the ignition point has been reached, Lady Michaela.

As soon as Chappoli finished speaking, it became dark.

The golden tree's dazzling crown disappeared, and a huge black sun replaced the crown and began to eat away at the trunk.

Michaela lifted Shapolili and glanced at the sky.

In the eyes of countless people, he saw the black sun.

Is this what you want? Michaela's hoarse voice was a little faint, Vic cannot have such power, so he is nameless...

Yes, he is a blessing given to us by God. He has the power to burn everything. Chappoli smiled, The meltdown of the junction has already begun. Sir Michaela, you cannot stop this. Process.”

It is indeed quite powerful, stronger than my sister. Michaela's voice was a little excited, and she coughed a few times. To cause such a vision in the border area, among the countless dreams I have witnessed, it ranks among the top five.

Top five? Chapolili was dissatisfied, This is the power that can lead all differences to no longer be differentiated and return to oneness. This should be number one!

Chapolili, I've long been tired of hearing your words. Michaela said, Now that the contract is over, we have nothing to do with it. Don't let my ears suffer from your torture anymore - it's too much. It’s boring, let me be clean and pure.”

Shapolili's body swelled up and turned into flesh, spitting finely on the cliff wall of the valley.

The giant cocoon became quiet again, and Mikaela's phantom had already appeared in Sol City, appearing in front of veteran Neo.

When Neo saw Michaela, he immediately pointed to the horizon: Ms. Michaela——

I've seen it, Michaela said, What happened to the corpse wandering the temple?

The spirit soldiers have already gone to clean up. We will stop walking around the temple soon. Neo was also quite excited. He did not expect that one day he would really see a scene like a solar eclipse.

In addition to being excited, Neo was also deeply worried: Ms. Michaela, this solar eclipse...

Don't worry - it's just very dangerous. Michaela said, I'll deal with it after I see the condition of the soulless body.

The bells of the wandering temple stopped and lay peacefully on the ground.

Michaela followed Neo and pushed open the door of the Wandering Temple. Inside the temple, a dry, headless corpse lay quietly there.

As Michaela watched, the corpse's fingers moved.

Michaela stepped forward excitedly, held the corpse's fingers, and asked:

Brother Godwin, is that you? It's me, I'm Michaela. My appearance may be different now, because it's not convenient to come here now, so I can only borrow someone else's body...

The headless corpse sat up, stretched out his hands, and embraced Mikaela.

Brother... Michaela's eyes lit up.

Hoo ho ho, it's Chappoli. The headless corpse hugged Michaela and slapped his back vigorously, Ms. Michaela, you can't get rid of me. When everyone in the world After turning into ashes and no longer distinguishing between you and me, you will never be able to get rid of me. But don’t worry, you will naturally be reunited with Lord Godwin by then.

Michaela's expression froze, and the young figure disappeared, revealing Neo's fat figure.

Neo suddenly broke away and chopped the corpse into pieces with one kick.

The veteran looked at the somewhat lost Michaela and said:

Sir, don't be too disappointed. There are so many soulless demigods. Lord Godwin may not be in love with anyone. There is still hope...

Michaela shook her head:

Just now, I have gone to all the walking temples to check, even including the ugly corpse under the tree root... there is none, not one.

This... Neo didn't know what to say, Let's think of other ways?

Michaela was like a child who had lost her toy, her head lowered, a little absent-minded.

Ms. Michaela... Neo said, It's cold outside, why don't you come inside?

Michaela shook her head: There are still important things to deal with. Since the solar eclipse ritual doesn't work, there is no point in keeping it. It's time to deal with this mess.

Mikaela's figure disappeared, and his virtual image was projected into the eyes of the frowning people in the snowy mountains.

Michaela clapped her hands: Can any kind-hearted person tell me what the situation is now? Can we still be saved? If not, do you want me to give everyone euthanasia before they are burned to death in pain?
