Chapter 873 As expected, we know each other
Yun carefully hid at a safe distance before daring to look back at Andariel. He couldn't help but gasp when he saw Andariel's body begin to emit billowing black smoke, and her face became increasingly hideous and distorted, as if she was enduring great pain.
However, despite feeling somewhat reluctant, Yun still didn't dare to rush forward. After all, once a boss like this was enraged, it would likely go berserk. If it attacked him, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Ah...you..." Just when Yun was hesitating, he suddenly heard Andariel let out a shrill scream, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
"Oh my god, this girl can actually talk!" Yun said in surprise, "I thought she couldn't understand anything at all. It would be so nice if I could chat with her..."
However, now wasn't the time to dwell on these things. Yun quickly moved away from Andariel's corpse, knowing it was rife with poison and could explode if he wasn't careful. Furthermore, Andariel didn't seem to have dropped any equipment, so Yun felt there was no need to risk going forward to check.
"What should I do now?" Yun wondered, "Will a portal appear after I destroy her?"
Surprisingly, despite the fierce battle, no equipment was found, which was actually within Yun's expectations. However, when the green poisonous fog gradually dissipated, Yun was surprised to find a yellow metal block next to Andariel's body.
Yun was surprised by the appearance of this metal block, and he couldn't help but wonder: What exactly is this? Is it a topaz? Or perhaps some special gemstone from Andariel's body? Yun hesitated for a moment, unsure of the true purpose of this metal block.
He waited patiently for a long moment, hoping to see a portal appear. After all, in the game, defeating Andariel usually resulted in a portal leading to a higher level. But to his disappointment, no portal appeared. Yun thought carefully; he had already checked and there were no other exits on the first floor.
Now, Yun was unexpectedly trapped here. The biggest difference from the game was the sudden appearance of a yellow metal block. Yun decided to use the Ashbringer to poke at it, hoping to uncover some clues. When the Ashbringer made contact with the block, Yun felt a distinct metallic texture, further convincing him that it was no ordinary object.
Yun carefully examined the metal block, but after a long time, he couldn't figure out what it was. In desperation, he asked the system, "System, what is the use of this thing? Do I need it to get out?"
However, just as Yun was thinking about it, he suddenly realized that the system was unable to contact him at this time. Wouldn't that mean everything he had just said was in vain? However, this thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately thought that perhaps this would give him a new idea.
So, Yun picked up the Ashbringer without hesitation and continuously injected the chaotic energy contained in it into the yellow metal block. As the energy continued to flow in, the yellow metal block suddenly lit up as if it had been activated, emitting a dazzling light.
Seeing this, Yun was shocked and quickly stepped back, keeping a certain distance from the yellow metal block so that he could better observe its changes.
On the yellow metal block, tiny cracks began to appear on its originally smooth surface. These cracks were not ordinary cracks, but it was as if the metal block was undergoing some kind of metamorphosis, about to transform into another form.
Yun's heartbeat quickened as he nervously watched the changes in the yellow metal block, fearing that some enemy he could not deal with would suddenly appear.
Just as he was extremely nervous, the changes in the yellow metal block became more and more obvious. It was no longer just cracks on the surface, but the entire metal block began to slowly unfold, like a blooming flower.
As the expansion continued, the yellow metal block continued to expand, far exceeding its original size. This was clearly an abnormal phenomenon, and Yun's heart became increasingly uneasy. He took a few steps back again, and the distance between him and the yellow metal block had increased significantly.
As the metal block continued to transform, a familiar figure gradually emerged before Yun's eyes. He looked closely and couldn't help but cry out, "Lishvim?"
The figure transformed from the metal block turned around when he heard the sound. Yun looked closely and saw that it was indeed Lishwim!
"You are here after all, but why aren't you compressed?" Lishvim asked suspiciously, staring at the clouds.
"Ah? Compression? What does that mean?" Yun was confused by the question, especially why Lishvim became like this - a piece of metal, and could enter Andariel's body. All this made him feel incredible, as if it was an absurd farce.
"How did you get here?" Lishvim asked immediately.
"I... I came here to look for a dimensional portal, and ended up here." Yun answered hesitantly. He himself didn't know how to explain this strange experience.
"Huh? Is there another way to get in here?" Lishwim was obviously very surprised by Yun's words.
"What kind of great place is this? Why aren't we allowed to come here?" Yun felt a little unhappy when he saw this, and complained mutteringly.
"No, anyone can come. I really hope you can come. But there is one thing that makes me feel very strange. I never thought that there would be a passage to get here." Lishwim said.
Yun looked at Lishvim with suspicion. He really couldn't understand why there was such a passage, and Lishvim seemed to be very familiar with this place.
"What I want to know most now is what happened to you just now, and how did you suddenly appear in this guy's stomach?" Yun pointed at Andariel who was lying on the ground and asked in confusion.
Lishvim looked at Andariel's body with a trace of emotion on his face: "You were able to defeat her? You are indeed very powerful."
Yun was very surprised by Lishvim's words. He didn't expect Lishvim to know Andariel. You know, these are two characters from completely different game worlds. How could they have any connection?
"You know her?" Yun asked in disbelief, his eyes wide open.
Lishvim nodded and said in a heavy voice, "Yes, she is the Queen of Pain, the source of all pain."
When Yun heard this, his heart tightened. He began to realize that the world might be much more complicated than he had imagined.
"What else... do you know?" Yun asked nervously. He was eager to know more about the secrets of this world.
Although Yun had long since resolved to stay out of other people's business, the events unfolding before his eyes were so bizarre that he couldn't suppress his curiosity. After all, this involved two games, both from the same company, but such a coincidence was still hard to believe. Could it be that he was truly in a gaming world, where his so-called "fate" was actually controlled by the players themselves?
"Oh? You also know something about my planet?" Lishvim suddenly asked, with a hint of surprise in his tone.
Yun was even more shocked when he heard this. He stared at Lishvim with wide eyes in disbelief, and stammered, "You...your planet? Aren't you on your home planet?"
Lishvim seemed a little confused by Yun's reaction. He touched his chin and explained, "Yes, this is the home planet. I also find it strange. Why would the god merge his tomb with this previous scene? Is there some unknown secret hidden here?"
Although Lishvim's words were plain, they resonated like a thunderbolt in Yun's mind. Yun felt as if his thinking had been completely overturned. He could not figure out the connection between the two.
However, these words came like a bolt from the blue, leaving Yun speechless and stunned. His mind was a tangled mess, completely unable to comprehend anything. There were simply too many things involved, so many that Yun couldn't even think clearly. It wasn't just that he couldn't comprehend, he simply didn't dare to think. Just the things he knew so far already made Yun feel dizzy and bewildered, let alone the deeper information.
Suddenly, Yun seemed to have discovered some key problem and asked hurriedly: "That's not right. Isn't the Holy Tomb of the First Born a building on the mother planet? But the architectural style here is completely different from it!" His voice revealed a hint of anxiety and confusion.
Lishvim looked at Yun with a hint of disdain on his face, as if he was somewhat dismissive of Yun's question. He replied calmly, "Of course it's different. This is the border between the human world and Hell. All the land, even the air, is severely polluted by demons. How can we possibly take away the buildings here?"
Yun's doubts, far from diminishing, deepened after hearing Lishvim's answer. His heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably, as if he sensed something important was about to be revealed. He stared at Lishvim with wide eyes, waiting for him to reveal the answer he had been thinking about.
“What we’re moving are naturally buildings from the divine realm, but we left in such a hurry that we can only move part of them.” Lishwim said with emotion, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness and regret.
After hearing this, Yun stammered and asked, "Then...then...your god is Tyrael?" His voice trembled a little, and he seemed very shocked by the answer.
Lishvim stared at Yun with wide eyes, his face filled with suspicion, clearly surprised that Yun even knew about Tyrael. After all, the home planet had long since disappeared, and its history had long been lost to time. Lishvim couldn't understand where Yun had gotten this information.
Seeing this, Yun hurriedly explained: "I... I do know something, but aren't those angels? They... they are coming? Your gods are these angels?" His words were full of doubts and confusion, as if the world was gradually slipping away from his cognition and becoming more and more magical.
Yun now felt exhausted, both physically and mentally. He really hoped that all this was just a nightmare, and when he woke up, he could return to his small but warm rental house. However, reality ruthlessly told him that all this was real, and he was already deeply trapped in it, unable to extricate himself.
"You already know they're angels, so how could they be our God?" Lishvim said proudly. "Our God has always been a human. In human form, he led us in a desperate battle against the demons of Hell, while resisting the temptations of the angels. Ultimately, he triumphed over them and won this hard-fought victory."
Yun was a little surprised when he heard this. He asked doubtfully, "Even angels can be defeated?" In his understanding, angels are the side of justice. Although there may be some problems, the final victory will definitely belong to the angels.
Lishvim seemed to see Yun's doubts. He explained, "Let's put it this way. At that time, we felt the terrifying aura of impending planetary destruction. The God led us through the first wave of explosions. Ultimately, he escaped with some of the angelic structures. Although the vast majority of our tribe tragically perished in this disaster, we at least retained the seeds of hope. We still have a future."
Yun nodded thoughtfully. Suddenly, as if remembering something important, he spoke slowly, "Nai... Fei... Tian..."
When Lishvim heard the name, a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He asked curiously, "Huh? You actually know the name of our god?"
Yun felt his ability to speak completely lost. His already sluggish thoughts were now in a state of chaos, as if they had been violently churned through. He had completely lost interest in what was happening here, and he no longer even had the desire to intervene. It was simply too much for him.
"How should I get out?" Yun's voice was unusually low, revealing a deep sense of helplessness and fatigue.
Lishwim seemed very calm. He answered without hesitation: "I don't know."
Yun stared at Lishvim with wide eyes in disbelief, and asked through gritted teeth, "You don't know?"
Lishvim shrugged innocently and said matter-of-factly, "Of course I don't know. You were there when I came to this temple. This is my first time here, so how could I possibly know the way out?"
Yun was so angry that he was shaking all over. He glared at Lishvim fiercely and squeezed out a word through his teeth: "Good job!" Then he turned and left without looking back, his steps seemed a little staggering.
In the game, going from Act 1 to Act 2 requires a boat ride, and then returning to camp. Since there's no portal here, Yun has only two options: either run all the way back to camp, or find a teleportation array to teleport back. In any case, there's no point in staying here any longer.
