Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

Until now, Ansent has not received any news related to the hidden mission prefixed with 'Final Chain' in the Pioneer Space. No one has responded to either overt or covert inquiries or announcements.

This may be a hidden mission exclusive to the world of Tartadis. Of course, it is also possible that all the large exploration groups that received this mission have blocked the relevant information, but in any case, Ansent is not a retarded person. He is very aware of the weight of this hidden mission, which is definitely greater than any mission he has ever seen. Be important.

Ant-Man Lich speculates that he may need to fully explore the background of the Tartadis world before he can begin this final chain of tasks.

At that time, he might be able to know the nature of the mysterious gray fog that can even stop reports from the Pioneer space.

But now, Ansent is most concerned about the new tasks that have appeared in the report in addition to these old tasks.

[Optional exploration mission: Discover the secret behind the returning god]

[The current progress is 0%, and the reward points are 0]

This report also comes with two pictures - one is a vague human figure standing on the judgment stand; the other is a golden dragon shadow as huge as a mountain that appears in mid-air; and a small human figure in front of him.

The results of the Pioneer space scan are also recorded in this report.

[Dragon of Judgment·Lord of Judgment]

【Overlord·God】

[High-risk target. Complete state. The strength of the incarnation form is the primary level of overlord, and the threat level is high. 】

[Action suggestions: Use weapons with god-killing qualities, dragon-slaying qualities, and spiritual body qualities to carry out high-explosive attacks. 】

"Is the Lord of Judgment so powerful? It's not surprising."

Looking at the strength report of the Judgment Dragon, Ansent looked solemn.

If he hadn't been forced to transform into a lich body because he was not easily hit hard by the sacred tree in the world of Zhengtian Shenmu, he would have been preparing to apply for the Overlord level advanced mission at this time.

The time in the Pioneer space is very chaotic, and the time flow rate in each world in the multiverse is different. According to the space, this is precisely the fact that 'time' itself is subordinate to 'chaos', which is evidence of an illusion in a sense, but Even so, it only took Anderson nine years of his somatosensory time to go from an ordinary mortal who knew nothing about cultivation to a high-level leader. This is enough to show how terrifying the improvement of strength in the Pioneer Space is.

In fact, Anderson's speed is already considered slow. It is said that some real geniuses can reach the threshold of the Overlord level in less than five years, which is simply incredible.

But even so, even if Ancent is lucky and successfully advances to Overlord after passing the advanced mission, his strength is only comparable to that of the Lord of Judgment, an incarnation of the Dragon of Judgment.

And without corresponding weapons, it will definitely be very difficult to fight.

Although the three gods are the indigenous gods of this world, Anderson firmly believes that he can definitely surpass them in the future, but now, gods are still gods in the final analysis, especially with hundreds of years of accumulated wish power, God knows what other cards these guys have.

"However, the power of wishes can create gods, and it can also overthrow gods. The elemental souls bred in the world can give birth to innate gods. Naturally, changes in the world will also affect the gods."

Thinking of this, the Ant Lich shook his head slightly: "In any case, the God of Wind and the God of Fire have been stagnant for too long. They obviously have the power to explore the void, but they have been stagnant in this small world... This is not in line with the concept of pioneer space at all, so it’s no wonder that I feel out of place in the society of the Wind People.”

"And this time, I will definitely move the world, change the world, and make this stagnant world run again - at least, start to move forward!"

Thinking of this, Ansent is by no means self-hypnotized. As an explorer recognized by the Pioneer Space, he sincerely believes that the current world of Tartadis has fallen into stagnation, whether it is the God of Wind or the God of Fire. Order has great shortcomings.

And as a person who has returned from another world and witnessed many different world orders, he has the responsibility to enlighten all compatriots!

"I will be a pioneer and lead the world to 'exploration and advancement'!"

Of course, Ansent also has his own selfish motives.

"Then - I will lead it to connect with the Pioneer Space and make it my personal world... In this way, other explorers will not be able to come and threaten my hometown."

Firmly focused on his goal, Ant-Man looked at the report of another Lord of Judgment... He originally thought it should be similar to the above one, at most it would be different in some details.

But in the end, Ansent was left stunned.

【? ? ? ? ? ·The Returned God】

[Tianhun Industry Position·Overlord]

Let’s not talk about the string of ‘?’ that has never appeared in any scan. 'describe.

Just the huge metal skull logo next to the question mark made the lich gasp in shock, causing the air in the entire volcanic hole to drop by thirty degrees: "Terminal logo!"

This was not the first time he had seen this sign.

However, every time in the past, he saw people with this mark on their bodies in various worlds, and it was more or less proved that they and them had the possibility or power to destroy the world!

Just like the Dragon of Judgment mentioned before, the Lord of the Six Paths of Tribulation, they all have such terminal signs.

After this, there are detailed recommendations for action.

[Super dangerous target. Unable to confirm strength. Unable to determine status. Extremely dangerous. 】

[Action suggestion: Return immediately. 】

Said and not said are the same.

Immediately, Ansent looked solemn.

"Is this the victorious Lord of Judgment, the returned God?"

"No wonder the intelligence shows that the Dragon of Judgment was defeated with almost one blow - this difference in strength is indeed too great!"

As a space explorer, Ansent keenly sensed that this returning god might be the hidden boss behind the three mysterious gods.

Just like in the world of sacred trees, the sacred tree hidden behind the protagonist Zhou Zhou is not easy to be like that!

"I see. Is it because of the returning god that Alber's 'Natural Disaster Ritual' was destroyed? Indeed, if there is a powerful existence with the symbol of the end, it is not impossible to defeat the typhoon natural disaster."

In Ansent's mind, all the information was connected: "Then, that guy wanted to figure out the situation first, so he sent another group of pirates over. As a result, he and himself were caught by the other party in the Sea of ​​Joy."

Ant-Man Lich didn't think that Alber's mouth could be so tough and he could still hold on when facing the returning god. The plans regarding the ceremony and ascension to the god must have been exposed: "Albert is considered thorough. Although it is a pity to lose the qualification to become a god, now is not the time to care about such trivial matters... Although it is still unclear what is going on with this returning god, but as long as the situation of the three gods does not change, the plan will not change. How bad could it be."

"My plan will not end that easily!"

And just when Ansent was thinking about relevant supplementary measures and response methods for subsequent actions, he received another piece of communication.

"...Hmm, those pirates? It seems they also feel something is wrong."

The soul light under the body flashed, and the Lich stared at the name displayed on the back of the communication circle. He frowned slightly at first, and then chuckled: "That's right."

"It's time to speed things up a bit."

at the same time.

In the center of the Holy Fire Continent, the Holy Mountain of Dawn.

The endless vast plain in the center of the continent is like an emerald ocean. The climate here is always peaceful. In the middle of the night here, you can always clearly see the bright stars all over the sky, showing gray-blue streams in the night sky. The clouds float and intersect with the starlight.

Just below the glow of the stars and the moon, the towering holy mountain called Dawn stands abruptly in the center of this vast plain. Under it, there is an ancient city. It is a relic of the previous era, with white city walls. It bears the mark of thousands of years of time.

Old Neisser City.

Today is the Temple of the Three Gods and the Central Sanctuary.

All the fire people on the entire Holy Fire Continent originally originated from this city. It is the root of the people of fire and the place where God first made a covenant with man.

Here, the original religious treaties are recorded, the oldest statues of the three gods, and the most primitive history of the era are erected.

Likewise, the latest magic technology, the latest elemental spells, and the latest scriptures are being developed here.

The latest and the oldest are intertwined, which is the charm of the Central Cathedral. Nearly a hundred thousand clergymen and several times their number of devout believers live in this city, forming the faith and technology center of this continent and country.

And right at the Central Cathedral, the majestic Central Cathedral.

A knight wearing a fiery red cloak and light silver armor strode from the outside. His armor was engraved with a conspicuous fire emblem, an oath of praise to God, and a simple original book of doctrine.

Everyone along the way, whether they were knights or priests, ordinary people or priests, bowed to the knight from the bottom of their hearts after seeing the armor.

It was not until finally, when the silver-armored knight wanted to enter an ancient teleportation room under the Great Cathedral, that two paladins in white-on-red-striped armor stepped forward and blocked his way.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency."

"The meeting of the chief priests of the church has determined that only some of the blessed ones recognized by the church can go to the 'Deep Place'... We must verify your identity."

In response, the silver-armored knight stopped. He glanced around at the two paladins who had no fear. Then he reached out and took off the flying wing helmet on his head, revealing a handsome but indifferent face.

The black-haired and golden-eyed paladin narrowed his eyes, and a pair of golden sun earrings on his earlobes shone fluorescently. There was no emotion or anger in his tone: "Is this okay? It should be enough to prove my identity."

"No problem, Lord Ishar."

The moment the silver-armored knight took off his helmet, the two paladins looked at each other, bowed, stepped back, and gave way: "This is your right."

"However, this is the third time this month that you have applied to go to the Deep Place... The Head Priest of the Temple will definitely question you, thinking that your behavior may disturb..."

"Step aside."

The black-haired knight with golden eyes named Ishar scolded the two paladins who were trying to delay time to shut up. Then, he put on his helmet again and stepped into the teleportation room.

Soon, as the power of the four colors of elements gathered, the transmitted light lit up.

The way to meet God is thus opened.

Blessed One.

Whether it is the Holy Fire Continent or the Yaofeng Continent, all the people of wind and fire were confused at the beginning. That is why in this world, the group of priests who are second only to gods are called divine blessings. By? Where did God bless them so that they could enjoy such a privilege?

But in fact, there is only one and only one honor for the Blessed One.

That is the right to see God.

"The atmosphere in the church is getting worse and worse. If I don't show up, those guys might even dare to block me."

Under the helmet, the arc of Ishar's face was tense. The eyes of this handsome knight were burning with raging anger. Powerful elemental power was surging in his body, but it was always suppressed and did not explode.

After nearly three hundred years, Ishar's appearance has not changed, and has always been fixed at the look he had when he was young and in his prime, and the same is true for the faith in his heart.

But unknowingly, other people, even the Blessed One, have changed.

With such indignation in his heart, his figure disappeared from the central church after teleportation, and then appeared at a large vertical crack under the Holy Mountain of Dawn, a deep underground entrance that seemed to lead to the center of the world.

Deep dogma.

A direct passage to the core of the world.

That is, the road to the place where God rests.

It can be seen that although the cracks leading to the center of the earth are deep, they are not dark. The golden-red lava light is clearly visible even from tens of thousands of meters away, and it pushes the hot wind upward.

Lowering his head, Ishar stared there, and then stepped onto the spiral staircase.

The Lord of Fire, the Blessed One, is the seventh seat ‘Ishar’.

The peak of God's Blessed One.

Known as the man closest to God in this world.

Located under the Holy Mountain of Dawn, the profound dogmatic road leading to the center of the world is forever filled with high-heat fuming wind. On the spiraling downward stairs, there are also layers of powerful spell detection. As long as the faith is not pious enough, the spell will be It will trigger, either teleport the person back to the starting point, or directly trigger punishment to completely kill the lawbreaker.

But how pious and powerful is Ishar? He didn't care about these winds and spells at all. The knight walked all the way, and being familiar with them was like going home.

Soon, he walked down tens of thousands of meters, penetrated the earth's crust and hot wind, and came to the depths of the earth, the starting point leading to the true center of the earth.

At the end of the spiral staircase, a stone tablet carved from obsidian and cast from bright silver metal is so eye-catching.

【Remember the oath】

That is the only word engraved on the stone tablet.

Behind the stone monument is a sea of ​​golden-red hot lava. The boiling magma is churning and foaming, bursting from time to time, and setting off a high-heat magical wind.

However, in such a desperate situation of life, there is a simple throne, standing in the sea of ​​​​fire that can melt metal.

What's even more surprising is that sitting on the throne is a petite young man!

This young man wears a golden sun crown on his head, with slightly curly long snow-white soft hair hanging on his shoulders. There are golden-red elements flashing at the ends of the hair, and a classic white robe wraps his chest and abdomen, with red The belt cinches the opening.

The young man's slightly opened gray eyes were indifferent, with only a trace of deep red fire flashing in the deepest part. He stared at the churning lava in front of him, as if he could stare at it forever.

The knight in silver armor walked on the lava. He came to the lava throne reverently, then took off his helmet and put it under his arm.

Ishar the Blessed One knelt on one knee. He bowed his head and saluted the young man on the throne: "My lord, your knight has something important to report."

silence.

After these words were spoken, a long time passed before the gray eyes of the young man sitting on the throne regained some light of wisdom.

【oh? 】

He slowly raised his head and looked at his knight. The young man said gently in an ethereal and sacred voice: "What is it, my child?" 】

[What surprised you so much that you came to me without reporting it in advance? 】

"My lord, a few days ago, in the Sunset City in the Far East, everyone witnessed the coming of the Lord of Judgement——"

In this regard, the knight who had been waiting for a long time did not care at all.

He did not have any extra words and stated the information in a solemn tone, but there was always a trace of unsuppressible anxiety in his voice: "This matter was still under investigation, but then we got the human form of the Lord of Judgment and the dragon. The battle between the shapeless Lord of Judgment and the battle between the two gods caused great shock and uneasiness... Hundreds of thousands of people throughout the entire Sunset City jointly reported the miracle and requested the Central Cathedral to investigate."

【Two Lords of Judgment? 】

After a moment of silence, the young man who was called 'my lord' by Ishar shook his head slightly. There was no surprise in his gray eyes: [Maybe it was a conflict of faith. It was anticipated during the original design... Are there any specific details? ? 】

"No, my lord."

Ishar was not sure about this. After thinking seriously for a while, he said in a deep voice: "However, I heard from some residents of Twilight City that they saw that the human-shaped Lord of Judgment initially interacted with the dragon-shaped Lord of Judgment. The Lord faced off for a long time, until finally, he took out the legendary blazing holy sword, and then drove the opponent back..."

"But my lord, the most important thing is not this. The important thing is that you should wake up now!"

Saying this so excitedly, Ishar raised his head. The black-haired and golden-eyed knight wanted to continue admonishing, but he was surprised to find that his master's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing the blazing holy sword. .

[Blazing Holy Sword...]

He sat on the throne and couldn't help but murmur to himself: [The blade of annihilation...? 】

[I didn’t design this at the beginning. 】

【Could it be that……】

Suddenly, you can see that the agility in the young man's eyes is getting stronger and stronger.

Upon realizing this, Ishala was immediately delighted. Although he didn't know why the Lord suddenly became active when he heard the Blazing Holy Sword, this was the purpose of his coming to see him.

Immediately, the devout knight raised his hand again: "My lord, the world is in chaos now, but the people of fire happen to want to hold a punishment ceremony, and the Lord of Judgement's miracles also appear frequently. It is the time when people's hearts can be used. Now Nanami The pirates are shrinking completely and are missing their destination. It’s a good time for us to retake the Sea of ​​Capers!”

"My Lord, please let me lead the team to the Seven Seas to destroy those unbelieving villains. For your glory, your knights will not hesitate to be shattered to pieces!

Raising his head, Ishar's handsome side face showed a pleading look: "And my Lord, you really can't continue to sleep... Since that rebellion, many different voices have appeared inside the church. Originally, there were still There are many ordinary clergy who can meet with you, but now even the blessed ones have to pass the test of the Holy Church meeting."

"Moreover, not all of the blessed ones have become pious."

"My Lord...I am willing to cut off these rotten vines for your sharp sword and clear weeds for your manor..."

Ishar is so painstaking. He sincerely cannot stand the current situation and wants to do something and make changes.

But in the end, he got this answer.

【No. 】

The young man with white hair and gray eyes raised his head and looked at his knight. He smiled gently, but his tone could not refuse: [This is not the same as my plan. 】

[Let them be, I don't care. The truth in the world is that if we are together for a long time, we will separate, and if we are separated for a long time, we will be reunited. 】

[In an era when elements rotate with each other, people want to unify elements. In an era when elements are in harmony, people also want to differentiate elements. This may also be a cycle, but I have never been able to transcend it. 】

——Yes, it is so difficult to transcend reincarnation...

Saying this, memories couldn't help but reappear in his heart, and the god slowly closed his eyes: "So, everything is left to you." 】

[I will continue to sleep, waiting for 'that moment' to come. 】

"But, Lord, those blasphemous pirates, those traitors who have begun to prepare to steal your power..."

In response to this, Ishar looked at a loss, and the knight's golden eyes were full of disbelief. He could not have imagined that his master actually didn't care about everything. Ishar wanted to continue to advise, but he found that the master He has truly fallen into a deep sleep again, and all that is left on the throne is a small earthly body.

"...Click."

Gritting his teeth hard, Ishar's handsome face was full of unwillingness and incomprehension. He really didn't understand his master's thoughts at all.

But no matter how unwilling he was, unable to question God, he could only turn around and leave in the end.

Only the boiling sea of ​​lava is left churning slowly, just as it has been for the past four hundred years.

At this moment, on the outskirts of Xuguang City.

Su Zhou and his party had already boarded the carriage heading to the central church.

The original carriage did not move very fast, but with the blessing of Ammon's magic and Su Zhou's power, the speed of the carriage actually had nothing to do with the horse - it basically flew in mid-air, and it was the carriage pushing the horse forward. .

"But, my lord, since we have made the carriage fly, why don't we just fly over?"

This was the confusion of Ammon, Sarah and others. Even Alber, who was thrown aside as a prisoner, didn't understand this, but he didn't dare to ask.

"Because I want to see what other cities in the world are like along the way - I don't want to waste much time, so I think it's necessary."

This was Su Zhou's simple answer.

The world is slowly spiraling into a vortex.

Whether they are beings from other worlds, pirates who want to ascend to the gods, people of the sea who wander around the sea, or believers of the Lord of Judgment who are fanatical about the coming of God, and the Temple of Fire who have other thoughts, they all herald great changes. 's arrival

Of course Su Zhou knew this, and he also knew very well that all of this was triggered by his arrival.

It is precisely because of his actions that the world will change - whether it is the people of wind, the people of fire, the pirates of love, or the people of the sea, whether they are pious or unfaithful, gods or mortals, they will all be changed because of his actions. Think, act, and make your own choices.

However, there is nothing surprising about this.

Because a powerful presence, by its mere presence, affects others.

The wheels turned, and the carriage pushed the horses toward the distance.

On the morning of the fourth day after arriving in the world of reincarnation, Su Zhou left Twilight City.

The very center of the world, embarking on a journey to the center of the world.
