Chapter 322 The Truth
Of course, Figueroa has another identity, that is, the only son of Ox, the leader of the Lord God’s Legion.
Although Oaks has not walked in the underworld for many years, the legend about Oaks in the underworld has not disappeared.
After all, no matter what, Oaks in the Shadow Moon Mansion period could be ranked among the top ten powerful people in the underworld.
After he stopped being the palace lord and became the commander of the main god's army, everyone believed that Oaks, who had obtained the main artifact, was definitely a super strong man who could maintain the top three in the underworld.
No matter how strong Dennington had performed before, the strong men in the underworld always thought that Dennington was weaker than Oaks.
After all, when Oaks was still the lord of Shadowmoon Palace, he once fought against the messenger of the main god who possessed the main artifact and never lost.
No matter how arrogant Dennington was, he didn't think that he, who had only understood 90% of the rules of death, could be stronger than Oaks.
Therefore, over the years, Dennington did not go to the Lord God Legion to seek revenge on Figueroa.
After all, if Dennington wanted revenge, there were two people he couldn't get around.
The first is Figueroa’s father, Oaks.
As Figueroa's father, Oaks will not watch his son being killed and will definitely intervene.
Due to his lack of strength, Dennington felt that if he went to seek revenge, he would only be killed by Oaks.
Second, it is the main god behind the main god army.
The killing of soldiers in the Lord God’s army can be regarded as a provocation to the Lord God.
The killing of the captain of the Lord God's army would certainly make the Lord God angry.
By then, I'm afraid that the Lord God will take action against him personally.
However, even though he knew that he might be hunted down by the Lord God, Dennington would not give up on revenge.
After all, this is not just for oneself, but also for the countless people who have been implicated by the decisions of Figueroa and others.
After achieving great success, Dennington’s confidence soared.
He was confident that even Oaks, who possessed the main artifact, was no match for him.
But Dennington never expected that he would see his former teacher Locke after he had just achieved a breakthrough.
His spiritual consciousness radiated, and with the help of the power of will, Dennington felt that there was nothingness in front of him where his spiritual consciousness was exploring.
It was as if, if he could not see Teacher Locke's figure with his own eyes, even if he closed his eyes, Dennington would not believe that there was any living being in front of him.
His mind raced, and Dennington suddenly had some guesses about Teacher Locke's identity.
At that moment, Dennington bowed slightly to Locke: "Long time no see, Mr. Locke."
"I just don't know whether I should call you Mr. Locke or Lord Locke now?"
Locke turned around, looked at the much more mature Dennington, and sighed.
"Danninington, you've grown up."
"As for how you call me, I don't care."
"After all, although I taught you for a period of time, I also said at the beginning that the reason I taught you was because I wanted to accumulate educational experience for the children who might be born in the future."
Hearing Locke's confirmation, Dennington immediately understood.
It seems that his "Teacher Locke" is the same person as the "Lord Locke" who was said to have spread marriage certificates all over the underworld sky tens of millions of years ago.
Among Dennington’s friends, there are also many water-related experts.
From what they said, it was not difficult for Dennington to imagine what kind of secrets were contained in the marriage certificate that had enabled countless water-based warriors to break through.
The reason why these water-based warriors stayed in the underworld was that they hoped that after the birth of Lord Locke's child, they would do something like announcing a marriage certificate to allow the water-based warriors to break through again.
However, before this, Dennington had not connected his "Teacher Locke" with this "Lord Locke".
After knowing that Mr. Locke was the main god, Dennington had a better understanding of many things.
Perhaps, from the very beginning, all my actions were seen by Teacher Locke?
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Teacher Locke to appear in front of me just when I had just broken through to the great perfection.
"Then Mr. Locke, what is the matter with you coming to see me this time?"
Dennington straightened up and asked Locke.
"Well, Dennington, now that you have achieved the Great Perfection of Death, the Black Magic Shirt is equivalent to a material defense artifact for you."
"So, I want to exchange a material defense artifact for the black magic shirt. What do you think?"
"Black magic shirt? Is it the gray cloth shirt I'm wearing?"
Hearing what Mr. Locke said, Dennington was stunned.
Over the years, because of his strong strength, Dennington has not encountered any enemies that put him in life-and-death crisis.
So, until now, Dennington didn't know that the gray cloth shirt he was wearing could actually be comparable to the main artifact of material defense.
"Well, this black magic shirt you are wearing is part of the token of the Supreme God of Death."
"The Supreme God is a being in this universe that is more powerful than the main god."
"Their keepsakes have some special abilities that are comparable to the main artifacts."
"As one of the tokens of the Supreme God of Death, the Black Demon Shirt not only provides defense, but also greatly increases affinity with the rules of death." "For someone who practices the rules of death, the Black Demon Shirt is more useful than the main artifact."
"So, even though I have been paying attention to you for so many years, I only came forward to discuss the exchange of the Black Magic Shirt with you after you achieved Great Consummation."
"A token of the Supreme God?"
Dennington suddenly realized.
He has been feeling strange for so many years.
His hometown plane is just a very ordinary material plane. How could a captain of the Lord God’s Legion like Figueroa, who is a big figure in the underworld, go there?
It seems that they are going to their hometown plane to find this thing on their bodies in order to carry out the mission of the Lord God.
"Teacher Locke, I have a question for you."
After realizing something, Dennington took off the tattered shirt he was wearing under his underwear and held it in his hands.
"Well, I think I know what you want to ask."
Locke nodded and said, "Yes, I was the one who discovered that the Supreme God's token was hidden in your hometown."
"However, because the Lord's true body cannot enter the material plane, I have issued a Lord's mission to have Figueroa and others go to your home plane and have them search for the traces of the Supreme God's token for me."
"As for you, the first moment you met me, I knew you were wearing the Black Demon Shirt."
"Then teacher, since the token of the Supreme God you are looking for is in my possession, why didn't you just take it from me? Instead, you taught me how to practice it, and even told me to wear it when I was going to seek revenge?"
Looking at the black magic shirt of God in his hand, Dennington asked Locke.
This was indeed what puzzled him.
"Who do you think I am?"
Hearing Dennington's doubts, Locke raised his eyebrows and snorted at Dennington, saying, "I am the master at the top of the main gods."
"The Lord God exists to maintain the stability and order of the God Plane. As the strongest ruler, I should naturally abide by the rules of this world."
"Indeed, I had ten thousand ways to snatch the black magic shirt from you."
"But if I really took advantage of you, how would I be different from those high-ranking officials and nobles in your plane?"
"Besides, I have already assigned the task of finding the Black Demon Shirt to my subordinates. If I take the Black Demon Shirt away here, where will those subordinates who serve me be?"
"It doesn't matter to me who has the black shirt at the beginning and who has it in the middle."
"As long as I can guarantee that it will return to my hands in the end."
"This is quite consistent with the image of you in my mind, Mr. Locke."
Dennington nodded.
"Teacher Locke, if I remember correctly, I was killed by your subordinates when I was in the material plane."
"I think that at that time, this black magic shirt should have been presented to the teacher by Figueroa and others, right?"
"Also, generally speaking, the living beings that enter the world of the dead can only recover their memories from their previous lives when they become gods."
"I was the only one who recovered my memory shortly after entering the world of the dead, and I still had this black magic shirt on me at that time."
"Is all this related to the teacher?"
“Indeed, I did all this.”
Locke nodded and did not deny it.
"When I decided to use you as a learning experience, I discovered that you have a great talent in practicing the rules of death."
"However, over the years, including the Lord God, no living being has cultivated the rules of death to the state of great perfection."
"So, I guess that compared to the other three rules, the rule of death may require a special stage to be cultivated to perfection."
"That means truly dying once and understanding the true meaning of death. This may be the most critical step to breaking the rules of death and achieving perfection."
"So, when you went to seek revenge, I did not stop you and allowed Figueroa to kill you."
"After that, I went to ask the Lord of Death for help. With her help, I found your soul that had entered the world of the dead. After returning the black magic shirt to you, I asked the Lord of Death to restore your memory."
"You could say that I have been keeping an eye on you for the past half a million years since you regained your memory."
"On the one hand, I want to see if you, who have experienced death once, can become the first person to practice the rules of death to perfection with the help of the Black Magic Shirt as I wish."
"On the other hand, I also want to exchange a main artifact for the Black Demon Shirt as soon as you achieve great perfection."
"..."
Dennington remained silent.
From Mr. Locke's words, Dennington could hear Mr. Locke's expectations and trust in him.
It seemed that Teacher Locke was more confident than him about whether he could break through to the perfection of the Rule of Death.
