Chapter 1211 Turnaround
After suddenly becoming enlightened, Lei Xiao asked Old Lorenz directly to confirm his thoughts: "Old sir, as the guardian of the Temple of Light, you should know about the [God's Stone] inherited by the Temple, right?"
"Your Highness, this is the secret of the Holy Temple of Light. Only the ruler of each Holy Temple knows the specific information of the [God's Stone]!"
Although he was full of doubts about Lei Xiao's sudden question, the old bishop gritted his teeth under the influence of extreme gravity and responded truthfully.
"I only know that the [God's Stone] was discovered by His Majesty Ganelon I, who founded the Temple of Light, and has been passed down as a secret treasure of the temple's ruler until now!"
At this point, the old bishop seemed to remember something, and raised his head and added: "Oh, by the way, when I was a child, I once heard the previous generation of guardians mention that the [God's Stone] seemed to have an extremely powerful ability to create a barrier, and even a sixth-level strongman could not break it!"
"Is that true?"
Lei Xiao's mouth curled up slightly, and he immediately said loudly to the thin stone elf who was also under the pressure, "Xiao Jie, you are not a fifth-level [God's Stone], but a sixth-level [God's Stone]. Those puppet stone elves who look exactly like you are actually just a part of your strength!"
"Don't be afraid of them, you have to take control of them again!"
That’s right, this is the answer Lei Xiao thought of, and it is also the only explanation Lei Xiao can think of.
That is, after the mysterious existence obtained the [God's Stone] from the Temple of Light, he used some means to reintegrate the [God's Stone], which reduced the strength of Xiaojie, the stone elf, to the fifth level.
At the same time, he also obtained another nine fifth-level puppet stone elves who were accomplices to the evil.
This is why it is possible to explain why Xiao Jie and the puppet stone elves share the same origin, because they were originally a complete sixth-level [God's Stone].
This can be corroborated by the old bishop's words just now. After all, the barrier cast by a fifth-level stone elf can never trap a sixth-level strongman.
In addition, Xiaojie did not experience the blank era, but also lost her memory before the encounter with the mysterious existence. I'm afraid this is the sequelae of having her strength stripped away.
"Sir, do you mean that I was not only cursed by that abominable fellow, but also stripped of my strength?!"
Hearing this, Xiao Jie's thin, fair face first showed a trace of surprise, and then she said thoughtfully: "No wonder I have always felt powerless and empty inside, it turns out it is because of this reason!"
After that, Xiao Jie mustered up her courage and shouted to the mysterious being: "You abominable fellow, not only did you make me lose my master, but you even dared to touch the things created by God. My father God will never let you go!"
"Father God? This filthy land has long been abandoned by God. You are nothing but a pile of discarded garbage. You are still dreaming there. You are so stupid!"
The mysterious being glanced at Xiao Jie with a playful look on his face, and laughed wildly: "That's right, it was me who used the forbidden secret method to transform the sixth-level [God Stone] of the Holy Temple of Light into ten fifth-level [God Stones]. Otherwise, it would be impossible for all the "tree species" to be gathered so quickly."
"After all, at least twelve 'tree seeds' are needed to fully activate the Blood Dark Tree. It is too troublesome to search for them one by one. I have spent a hundred years at all costs, but I have only found three more 'God Stones'."
The mysterious being's grin became more sinister, and he said unscrupulously: "I have to say, the [God's Stone] is really a good thing. It can actually be used as a "seed" for the Blood Dark Tree. This is much easier than when I was looking for those arrogant God's Chosen Sons to sacrifice. Hehehe."
"However, I didn't expect that a despicable scum from another world like you could actually perceive this. This really surprises me."
After saying that, the mysterious existence's scythe flashed with black light, and it once again launched a devastating attack towards Lei Xiao.
"It is indeed the remnant of the son chosen by the evil god."
Lei Xiao's eyes were determined. While trying his best to deal with the mysterious existence, he reminded the thin stone elf: "Xiao Jie, those puppet stone elves originally belonged to you, not the tools of the opponent. Take control of them again and remove the barriers that bind us!"
Lei Xiao understood clearly that as long as he could hold back the mysterious existence and let Xiao Jie remove the barrier, everything would naturally be solved.
Seeing that Lei Xiao had found new hope, all the strong men who were bound by the restraints were also excited. They were all cheering and encouraging Xiao Jie.
"Yes, sir. I will try it right away!"
Xiao Jie nodded heavily, then bit her lips, and used her two delicate arms to stand up from the ground. While struggling to break free from the suppression of gravity, she tried to establish a connection with the puppet stone elf that was exactly the same as her.
However, despite Xiao Jie's best efforts, using both sensing and words, the puppet stone elf did not react at all. Instead, the spell cast only made Xiao Jie's restraints worse.
Under the increasingly powerful pressure of gravity, Xiao Jie was soon pinned to the ground again, unable to move at all.
"Hehehe, what a naive fool."
A hint of ridicule flashed across the turbid eyes of the mysterious being, and he grinned at Lei Xiao and said, "Boy, the reason why I separated that rubbish from these "tree species" and let it stay in the underground city of Huangyao City is because only that rubbish inherited the consciousness of the original [God Stone]. "
"And the other nine [God's Stones] that serve as "tree species" are nothing more than mindless puppets, and all of them have been newly manipulated by me with powerful manipulation techniques. Do you think that piece of trash can awaken all the mindless puppets?"
"The reason why that idiot was able to break free from the manipulation spell by himself is because I had completely forgotten about it and hadn't maintained the spell for decades!"
After saying that, the mysterious existence looked determined to win, and its attack became more and more fierce, bombarding Lei Xiao head on.
boom! boom! boom!
Accompanied by a series of deafening energy collision sounds, Lei Xiao and the mysterious existence once again turned into two bright lights of fierce confrontation and started fighting again.
Seeing hope shattered again and Lei Xiao involved in a fierce battle again, an extremely uneasy atmosphere quietly rose among our strong men.
I saw that the dark red branches that were spreading wildly around were already lush and leafy, and countless translucent flower buds were growing wildly among the lush red leaves.
This undoubtedly means that the time left for us is already limited.
"Boy, give up struggling. This land will soon become a bloody ruin of death and wailing. I will rebuild the tower of the Evil God's Chosen Son and carry out the Evil God's will of destruction!"
The mysterious being obviously sensed that the absorption phase was just around the corner, and began to swing the giant scythe more frantically, saying unscrupulously: "And your flesh and blood will become my stepping stone to the Tower of Destruction!"
"Don't dream, as long as I am still standing here, hope will last forever."
Although his heart was also filled with anxiety and uneasiness, Lei Xiao's dark eyes revealed a hint of determination, and he responded lightly.
"Young man, it seems that protecting the human world has never been an easy task. It was like this in my time, and it is still the same today."
Fei'er's voice was filled with helplessness, and she encouraged Lei Xiao, "But no matter what, if we give up now, it would be a disservice to our previous efforts."
"I see."
Although his knuckles were still hurt by the opponent's scythe that was swinging like a giant mountain, Lei Xiao's palms were burning hot. He held Rolandel's hilt even tighter and said, "The word 'give up' has never appeared in my dictionary."
After saying that, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on Xiao Jie's thin body again. He saw that she was completely trapped on the ground by gravity. Even her fair face could not leave the ground at all, but she was still trying to struggle.
After completely figuring out the truth about Xiao Jie's identity, although she herself cannot gather together the other separated puppet stone elves, the hope of breaking the deadlock may still have to be found from her. This is also the only hope at present.
"Young man, remember that skinny stone elf mentioned his master just now. Does the [God's Stone] need to recognize its master?"
Fei'er's clear and puzzled voice sounded in Lei Xiao's heart, asking.
"That's right. The [God's Stone] is the key to unlocking the truth about the destruction of all races and the departure of gods in the blank era. Although I don't know why, each piece does need to recognize its master. Only after recognizing its master can the full power of the [God's Stone] be exerted."
Lei Xiao immediately explained in his mind: "As for what the blank era is, I will explain it to Her Royal Highness the Princess when I have free time, but now is obviously not the time to talk about it."
"I understand. Since the real master of the temple is the owner of the [God Stone], why do the evil gods who have taken over the master of the temple need to use manipulation magic on them?"
Fei'er's question rang out again.
"I was also puzzled by this matter at the time, but it is actually not difficult to explain."
Lei Xiao responded: "Because when the stone elves sign a contract or inheritance, they are completely bound to the master's inner and outer nature, and neither is indispensable."
"This is to prevent the master from becoming corrupted if he or she is subjected to special circumstances such as mental control, which may cause changes within him or her, just like what happened to Xiaojie."
"The true life source of Ganelon IX has been extinguished, which means that his inner self has been completely replaced. The mysterious being has naturally lost the power to continue to force Xiaojie to fulfill the contract."
"However, since the external body still exists, the contract has not been completely terminated. In order to continue to control Xiao Jie, the mysterious being probably relies on this imperfect contract as a basis to manipulate her."
At this point, Lei Xiao suddenly realized something and blurted out in his mind, "Wait, this speculation is based on the premise that Xiao Jie is a complete [God's Stone]. But the truth is that Xiao Jie, who was originally at the sixth level, was forcibly deprived of most of her strength. Theoretically speaking, she is no longer the [God's Stone] that was originally contracted."
"This means that the contract should have completely lost its effect now!"
After hearing what Lei Xiao said, Fei'er obviously understood something and added excitedly: "In other words, Xiao Jie should be an ownerless [God's Stone] now. If you, young man, sign a contract with Xiao Jie again, then Xiao Jie, who has been forcibly deprived of her strength, will most likely automatically reset and recover her true strength!"
"That's right. As long as Xiao Jie regains her strength, the other nine puppet stone elves will naturally cease to exist. Then everything will be solved!"
A hint of joy flashed across Lei Xiao's eyes, and he affirmed in his heart.
Before this, I thought that only by completely defeating the mysterious existence could Xiaojie be completely freed from the previous contract and become a member of our camp.
But looking at it now, perhaps the turning point for victory has always been in my hands, I just didn’t discover it before!
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao, with an upbeat face, felt the vast energy rising in his abdomen, and he once again used the combination of Lightning Lightning Body, Sky-high Thunder, Mirage Body, and Shura Slash in succession.
In an instant, tens of thousands of Lei Xiao phantoms appeared densely, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, surrounding the mysterious existence.
Although this skill was much stronger than before, the mysterious existence could still crack it quickly, but taking advantage of this short period of time, Lei Xiao was able to easily reach Xiao Jie.
Sure enough, just as the mysterious being was swinging his scythe wildly, Lei Xiao's figure flashed and turned into a ray of purple light and came close to Xiao Jie.
Purple light flashed all over Lei Xiao's body, and he easily broke the absolute confinement barrier attached to Xiao Jie.
At present, the puppet stone elves who cast the barrier were trying their best to stop the three Bing brothers and were not paying attention to this place, so it was naturally easy for Lei Xiao to break it.
"Sir, what are you doing?!"
Seeing Lei Xiao so close to her, Xiao Jie was stunned at first, then a hint of excitement welled up in her starry eyes.
Although he didn't know why Lei Xiao appeared in front of him, he was certain that Lei Xiao came to save him.
It was also because of Lei Xiao's appearance that he was able to successfully break free from the manipulation of the mysterious existence and no longer be a puppet at the mercy of others!
"Xiao Jie, time is running out, so I'll make it short."
Lei Xiao bent down and helped the thin stone elf up, and said seriously: "Are you willing to sign a contract with me and become my exclusive [God's Stone]?"
"I am willing!"
Xiao Jie nodded heavily without any hesitation.
After that, a hint of hesitation appeared on her face again, and she whispered: "But my contract has not been terminated yet..."
"Feel it carefully again. Is the previous contract still effective on you?"
Seeing that the mysterious existence had broken through the encirclement of phantoms, Lei Xiao's tone became more hurried.
