Chapter 420 One piece of armor, three thousand gods
"This is impossible!"

The body of the umbrella holder is tightly wrapped by countless scales, like a rice dumpling, held in the palm of a huge black battle armor.

There was an expression of disbelief on his face—and he maintained that expression all the time, roaring:

"You are obviously dead! You are already dead!"

Liu Ping stood opposite him, still wearing a cloak, still looking like that kind of weird person.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

He replied blankly, raised the Baina knife and placed it on the opponent's shoulder.

"Liu Ping, don't pretend, it must be you, no one can control this armor except you." The umbrella holder gritted his teeth.

Liu Ping maintained his indifference, and said in an extremely disdainful tone:

"Just relying on such a set of garbage armor, you want to defeat me? You really underestimate the original existence of our nightmares."

——Strange Power: Deception!

The umbrella holder was startled, and hesitated, "Aren't you him?"

"Him? Who are you referring to?" Liu Ping said.

The umbrella holder looked back at the huge black battle armor, and said in a daze, "I have spent countless years, but I still haven't figured out this suit of armor...but it is being manipulated at will by the real nightmare."

"Yes, it's very simple." Liu Ping added.

The umbrella holder trembled, and a flattering expression gradually appeared on his face: "My lord, I can actually be your servant, please spare my life."

Liu Ping looked down, and saw that the various scales on the umbrella holder's body showed signs of loosening slightly.

——After all, it is the various seals set by the umbrella holder himself.

"It's better not to use the power to unblock, so I will feel that you are more sincere." Liu Ping said.

The voice fell.

A line of burning small characters quietly emerged:

"You have launched a strange-level performance side force: super popular actors."

"Amidst your yelling, one of the opponent's abilities will be completely sealed and cannot be used."

The scales immediately cling to the umbrella holder's body again, preventing him from moving an inch.

"You really want to be my servant?" Liu Ping asked.

The umbrella holder hurriedly said, "It's true—"

Swish!
Knife light flashed.

The umbrella bearer's head soared into the sky, and was smeared into a cloud of blood mist by countless void blade lights in the midair.

And his headless corpse was still kneeling on the ground, blood gurgling from the broken neck, staining those black scales red.

Liu Ping withdrew the knife, and said calmly: "You destroyed the real world, causing countless people to sleep in the eternal night, and now you have turned to nightmares, wanting to completely destroy all beings on the divine pillar - how can I spare you? ?”

A strange pull appeared on him.

Burning small characters quickly surfaced:
"The battle is over."

"The Sequence Spirit of the other world is completing the teleportation for you."

Liu Ping stood still, waiting silently.

suddenly--

The countless black scales gradually began to vibrate regularly.

All of a sudden, all the black scales on the huge black battle armor began to vibrate non-stop, making buzzing sounds.

"Wait, don't let me go yet." Liu Ping said.

The force pulling him suddenly weakened.

Liu Ping calmed down, paying close attention to the changes in the black armor.

Countless scales flew up suddenly, hovering in mid-air for a while, some of them fell down, and gradually formed a human shape.

This humanoid existence walked towards Liu Ping step by step.

The black scales constantly flashed changing runes, turning the human form into a man of flesh and blood.

——This is a person Liu Ping has never seen before.

He first saluted Liu Ping, then squatted down, reached out his hand to touch the blood on the ground, put it in his mouth and tasted it.

"Aji finally died."

said the person.

"Who are you?" Liu Ping asked.

"I'm Ayin, the god you rescued in a past life——The divine pillar I'm in has long been destroyed, thanks to you escaped with me." The man said.

Liu Ping looked at him, only to see a line of small characters appear above his head:
"A god from a bygone age."

Liu Ping moved his gaze slowly, and landed on the headless corpse of the umbrella bearer.

"You call him Aggie?"

"Yes, you used many methods in that life, but you still couldn't overcome the nightmare, so you had to reincarnate and leave, and Aji and I both lived on the scale armor-we lived on this armor and followed you Wandering life and death, looking for reincarnation in a new world." The man said.

Scales...

Liu Ping looked at the black armor.

The man named A Yin understood, and said, "This battle armor is as big as an endless mountain. In my life, three thousand gods buried their souls in the No. 650 ninth scale, and they reincarnated with Your Excellency."

He pointed to the huge black battle armor and said: "There are countless scales on this battle armor, and our three thousand gods are just a tiny bit of them."

"What happened to him?" Liu Ping asked, pointing at the corpse.

"Aji... He was too eager to become stronger. After reincarnation, he went deep into the strangeness and finally got lost in it. But because of the powerful strangeness, he remembered this armor, so he walked step by step to the present." A Yin road.

"You didn't go to reincarnation?" Liu Ping asked.

"I died in battle after reincarnation, so I went back to the armor and remembered everything."

After Ah Yin finished speaking, her figure suddenly shook.

"Your Excellency, my soul power is no longer enough to continue to wake me up, but I was entrusted by your previous life to tell you one thing when I woke up."

"Speak." Liu Ping said.

A Yin said: "This secret can only be told once, because if I just tell it, I will exhaust my strength and have to fall into a deep sleep again."

"Listen up—"

"'Don't get too deep into the weird, it ends in nightmares, and of the thousands I've tried, nightmares are not a power fit for all beings, all beings are enslaved by nightmares—go find another way.'"

The voice fell.

The huge black battle armor erupted with increasingly grand and profound rumbling sounds.

Lines of burning small characters suddenly appeared:
"You have heard the secret of past destiny."

"Your power of the Four Sacred Pillars has reached the minimum standard."

"The power of the battle armor begins to bless you, revealing the endless secrets of the past era for you."

"Your 'knowledge is as famous' has been raised to the weird level."

"From now on, you can see the names of all living beings in their past lives and know their past origins."

All fine print is collected.

A Yin saluted Liu Ping, smiled and said:
"Conquer the nightmare, God King."

He couldn't maintain his figure anymore, he scattered black scales and flew towards the huge battle armor.

Soon.

All the scales flew back to the armor, and all the abnormalities disappeared.

Only Liu Ping was still standing in the hand of the huge armor, looking at the armor quietly, a little speechless.

A piece of scale armor hides three thousand gods.

There are still so many scales, what are they hiding?
Liu Ping sighed.

He can fully sense that this battle armor is in harmony with his mind and is under his complete control.

The scales that match the surface of the battle armor are completely surrendered to him like his own body, hair and skin.

So the gods of the past era just now should not have lied.

Because the battle armor gave me such a feeling.

Think about it this way——

This armor may have followed him through countless reincarnations.

But with so many partners, after so much effort, I still haven't found a way to overcome the nightmare.

but.

At least a vague direction has been gained.

——Don't think of a solution in the depths of the nightmare, but think of other ways.

"Come on, take me back."

he opened his mouth.

That huge traction suddenly struck, enveloping him and sinking into the void.

……

Nightmare dungeon.

world.

In the open space outside the castle, all kinds of weird existences are still waiting.

A ray of light suddenly flashed in the center of the open space.

The light spreads out.

A strange figure in black appeared in the middle of the clearing.

Liu Ping!

He looked around, facing those same expressionless monsters, and slowly said:

"food--"

"It's still just food, not eligible for our status."

The voice fell.

The surrounding monsters gradually began to disperse.

When a few monsters passed by Liu Ping, they turned slightly to get out of the way.

——This is probably a subtle way of expressing respect?
Just as Liu Ping was thinking, he suddenly saw rows of small characters floating on the open space, right under his feet:

"Nightmare Summoner, you defeated the challenger."

"This challenge is over."

"As the winner of the gambling fight, you have already obtained the mission of the other party."

"From now on, you will replace the other party and complete the mission of that great existence on this pillar."

"You are qualified to communicate directly with the controlling spirit of the sequence."

"Please enter the black door."

Liu Ping looked back, and saw a small black door opened on the side of the castle, and two men in black with expressionless faces were floating at the door.
