Lord of Glory

---------..

Feel the scorching heat around you and the smell of sulfur. Paladin's body took a gentle step forward in the deep underground of the Holy City of Kasiri. As if the world had changed, the poisonous gas and high temperature that could kill ordinary people instantly disappeared instantly. What caught the eye was a huge blue cave.

Clusters of giant mushrooms towered on all sides of the cave. The rhizomes of these mushrooms are filled with particles of blue ice crystals. The entire mushroom emits a faint blue light. The cave was illuminated with a faint blue. Paladin looked at this familiar scene and walked past these mushrooms step by step. And immediately, two corpses with only broken clothes and bones were displayed in front of them.

Walk towards the two bodies. Paladin could clearly see that one body was in dilapidated condition, while the other body had lost its lower body. You can also see a rusty short knife next to the body. "Ah, three years have passed in the blink of an eye, but it feels like a blink of an eye. Teacher, professor. You two are trapped here and can't rest in peace."

At this moment, the Almighty Eye floated on Paladin's forehead, and he could clearly see Professor Francis who died three years ago and the teacher who was killed by him. At this moment, the soul was wandering aimlessly in the cave. A confused look on his face. The Almighty Eye on Paladin's forehead lit up slightly, and the two souls were immediately sucked into it. But in an instant, Paladin suddenly smiled and said: "So you are all members of the Illuminati. You are really destined to be acquired by me."

Paladin smiled like this, and suddenly turned his head and glanced at the box in the center of the cave where four stone men were kneeling on the ground with their hands raised high. Paladin stepped away. Pick up the box gently. Looking at everything inside, there was no surprise. *This is the exact box that houses Ripley's Scroll. With a casual move, Paladin threw the box away, and his eyes suddenly burst into golden light. The four stone statues immediately made a loud rumble and moved around.

And on a large piece of vacant land. The huge stone slab with the fallen tree on it stood before Paladin's eyes again after an absence of three years. I don't know if it was done intentionally or unintentionally. The four moved stone statues, half-kneeling on the ground with humble appearances, were facing the central stone slab. Like a pilgrim.

Paladin gently stretched out his hand and touched the totem of the inverted tree. Suddenly he waved his hand downwards, and a stone chair immediately appeared in front of the stone slab. Paladin sat down silently. Lie with your hands on the armrests. Suddenly, the fallen tree behind the stone slab immediately erupted with the same dazzling golden light! All integrated into Paladin's limbs and bones!

And at the same time. The golden crystal that crystallized Paladin's right shoulder, right arm, and right face suddenly surged, eroding Paladin's body crazily like a vine giving birth. There was just a crackling sound, and the golden crystals instantly spread to Paladin's left hand. Most of his body has been crystallized. But there was no trace of human feeling on that face. Instead, it looks like an ornament carved out of golden crystal.

When the light from the upside-down tree on the stone slab stopped. At this moment, Paladin has completely crystallized, and no trace of flesh and blood can be seen anymore. The originally golden eyes also lost their eyeballs and pupils at this moment. The entire pair of eyes is filled with crowded light elements. Like two magic lamps, they emit a dazzling golden light.

"You have regained your previous strength. God-defying one." Suddenly at this moment. The great prophet wearing a white robe and a white beard suddenly appeared in front of Paladin. Paladin, who had no reaction to his appearance, slightly felt the power that was so powerful that it could tear apart the mountains and the earth at will, and said calmly: "What are you doing here." "Two hundred thousand golden elements. Except for a few Apart from the guys, you are already standing on the top of the world." "A few?" "You will know later."

The great prophet still half said this. But Paladin, who had completely crystallized, only felt dull for a while. He waved his hand and said: "If nothing happens, leave. Leave me alone for a while." But the great prophet looked at him calmly and said: "Don't get lost again. The one who rebels against God.' The bitterness of the price has just begun. '. You still remember." Listening to the great prophet speaking about the apocalypse emerging in the blank world. Paladin nodded his head in disbelief, showing no interest in the conversation.

"You have lost more and more human emotions. Even your interest in communication has begun to decline. The world will collapse. Creatures and souls will cry under the golden blade. I hope that the next time I come to see you, I will not Become the same human child you were three thousand years ago."

Then, the great prophet's figure blurred for a while and disappeared from the place in the blink of an eye. Paladin, who turned a blind eye to this, took a deep breath. He could not resist the power of the law, because he was within the law and naturally could not resist. So if nothing unexpected happens, his body will stay in this cave forever. He embarked on the path of strength for a powerful position and a better life. But three years later, although I got what I wanted, I could no longer feel and understand it. Go straight down this road. What about your original intention? What about your original wish?

Time is like a gust of sand, coming quickly and unable to stop. In addition to burying one's head on the ground to welcome the baptism and praying for a way to survive. There is no other way. When the storm passes, everything will change. Mountains, rivers, vegetation were all buried. The supposed signposts disappeared and the direction began to get lost. Taking the path that I thought was right turned out to be completely the opposite. When the reaction came, it was so cruel that there was no turning back.

What exactly is waiting for me at the end of this desert? Is it rebirth or destruction? Paladin didn't know, he only knew that he could only live if he walked on. Because it was through walking that he gained the ability to live. This is really a sad fate of having the whole world but nothing. A ridiculous fate.

At this moment, Paladin raised his head, and the Almighty Eye that appeared on his forehead immediately expanded. It seemed that he was enduring some extremely severe pain. Paladin suddenly opened his mouth and let out roaring roars! At the same time, the expanding Almighty Eye suddenly ejected a large ball of light from its pupil. Hundreds of light balls boiled out and revolved around Paladin's body. Yes, these are all clones of Paladin. I saw Paladin looking at these clones, and his omnipotent eye disappeared immediately. Hundreds of light balls immediately circled several times, swishing into the rock wall above, and headed towards the land a thousand meters above.

Paladin took a deep breath and leaned back. Leaning the hard crystallized back against the backrest of the stone chair. There was a clicking sound. Looking up at the surrounding caves, Paladin lowered his head. The pair of golden-gleaming eyes without eyeballs slowly closed. It was as if everything that was originally alive stopped breathing in an instant. Silence has become Paladin's only companion at this moment. In his world, there were only four stone statues, a stone chair, a stone slab, and a dead cave. (..)
