Reincarnation Paradise

"Dungeon? Never heard of it."

"Established by Emperor Okaz? That was a thousand years ago."

The surrounding officials murmured for a while. Councilor Frost Snake coughed lightly and immediately fell silent.

"The dungeon will be opened. All civilians will enter the dungeon within 2 days, and some supplies will be stored in the dungeon."

Although Councilor Frost Snake’s voice was not high-pitched, his words were unquestionable.

"What about Ango City where we are? Half-abandoned? The dungeon can indeed accommodate a million people, but just hiding there means that we have given up all the resources on the ground. How long can we last?"

Councilor Rose is obviously not prepared to completely open the dungeon. Once it is completely opened, it means there is a way out to survive. It will be difficult to fight out. The soldiers guarding Ango City above will be dissatisfied. Why should they? To die, other soldiers can hide in safe dungeons.

"I never said I would defend Ange City."

"Frost Snake, you finally want to be with me."

"Civilians and some soldiers enter the dungeon. If those monsters really attack, immediately send out troops to greet them. Ango City has no walls or war fortifications. It is only used to garrison troops. Only by actively attacking can you have a chance. Passively defending the city will only lead to being surrounded. .”

Councilor Frost Snake's words made all the officials nod secretly. They had previously thought of guarding Ange City, but now it seemed that they were digging their own graves.

In the absence of city walls or war fortifications, holding on will only result in being surrounded. However, taking the initiative to attack is different. At least you can 'collide' with the enemy head-on. Even if you don't have a numerical advantage, you can also open the front and set up an offensive and defensive line.

At this time, the total number of soldiers in Ange City was at least 900,000. The reason why the Four Kingdoms were destroyed was not that the monsters were so powerful that they were unable to fight, but that they appeared too suddenly.

Just imagine how passive the soldiers nearby would be if a fleeing civilian suddenly withered and turned into a monster.

The number of civilians in the Four Kingdoms far exceeds the number of soldiers. In addition, under the shroud of a 'black ball of light' high in the sky, the soldiers will be out of breath after fighting for a few minutes. Their combat effectiveness is less than one-third of normal, and there is basically no protracted battle.

Fighting with a frontal front, the soldiers were not afraid of the monsters. As long as the black ball of light was not shrouded in them, they were confident in fighting the monsters.

The only problem is that there are too many monsters with dry bodies.

"First of all, we must ensure that the territory around Ango City. Here, here, and here can all be used for farming. After the initial defense line is established, we must consider long-term defense. Building a high wall is a good solution. With the current situation population, it is expected to take 2 years.”

Councilor Frost Snake said this to stabilize people's hearts. He wanted to let the officials present see hope.

"We also have mystics. Some mystics can speed up the construction of the wall. So, one or two months may be enough."

echoed a smiling official.

"There are no occultists anymore. Their secret patterns have been taken away. Whether it is the family sect or the branding system, the secret patterns have all been taken away. The occultists without the secret patterns are just soldiers with strong bodies. Some are not as good as Soldier."

Councilor Qiangwei's words made many officials feel chilly in their hearts. Those normally arrogant mystics had actually lost their secret patterns.

"Sir, I suggest that all mystics be arrested. They will be very extreme if they lose their secret patterns."

"It's up to you to do it, go now."

Councilor Frost Snake is very ruthless, after all, he is recognized as cold-blooded.

"yes."

A serious-looking official quickly left the council chamber. His bold proposal made his status soar. As long as he does this well, he will become a close confidant of the Frost Snake Senator.

Su Xiao never spoke. He didn't know much about Ange City, but he gained a lot from this visit.

Su Xiao did not expect that the secret pattern of the mystic master was lost. It was not that the world lost its extraordinary. Senator Rose made it very clear that the secret pattern of the mystic master was stripped away, not disappeared.

When he first entered this world and was on the steam train, Su Xiao sensed that the mystic was somewhat special. Su Xiao's combat power was his physical strength + passive/active abilities + techniques + equipment + combat experience, etc. The mystic was something special. The difference is that all their combat power is concentrated on one point, some on their arms and some on their backs.

This concentrated point is where the secret pattern is. It feels like this power is not their own. Some are similar to believers of gods. Their power comes from gods. The power of mystics comes from the secret pattern on their bodies. , without the secret pattern, they only have the powerful body that was warmed and cultivated when they perfected the secret pattern.

This made Su Xiao feel that the secret pattern is a good thing. Of course he would not imprint this thing on himself. If he could get the secret pattern, he could imprint it on the temporary alchemy creature. In other words, he could simply study the principle of the secret pattern. , while creating temporary alchemical creatures, they are engraved on the core array diagram.

The black ball of light, the humanoid monster with a dry body, and the secret pattern are definitely related.

After the 'black ball of light' appears in the sky, within the area covered by it, the weaker the body, the higher the chance of becoming a withered monster. As the black ball of light continues to exist, soldiers may also turn into withered monsters.

People with stronger physiques will be stronger when they become monsters. The reason why these monsters attack living people is not for appetite, nor do they suck blood. They are just repelling living creatures. This is the most terrifying thing.

The 'black ball of light' not only turns people into monsters, but in the area it covers, the vegetation dries up, the buildings become pitted like weathering, the wooden products will rot into slag in a short period of time, and everything will become gray.

Above the Four Kingdoms, a total of four 'black light balls' appeared. This seemed to have reached a certain condition, and the secret patterns of the mystics were stripped away, or in other words, were taken back.

Su Xiao speculated that black light balls, withered monsters, energy decay abilities, soul ashes, and 'grudge orphans' are all related to Gru.

If Gru has this ability, then he doesn't need to hide. He seems to have achieved this with the help of a certain place or existence.

The first thing Su Xiao thought of was the ancient god, an ancient god who was very powerful and far beyond the seventh level. The ashes of his soul contained the characteristics of the ancient god, but the energy was very different from all the ancient gods Su Xiao had seen. It appears lifeless and corrosive, but not aggressive.

The ability of the black ball of light alone means that if there really is an ancient god in this world, then this ancient god will be of a similar rank to Hades, who is the strongest ancient god known to Su Xiao.

You cannot spy on Hades, you cannot communicate with him, you cannot listen to his voice, you cannot look directly at his appearance, and you cannot recite his name.

This is the introduction to [The Umbilical Cord of Hades]. If Su Xiao meets Hades now, of course he will not be so exaggerated, but death in battle is absolute and there is basically no suspense.

Assuming that there really is an ancient god in this world who is similar to Hades, the current situation is not surprising. No, the current situation is too 'mild'. With such a powerful ancient god in the world of light and darkness, this world It's a miracle that he's not half broken yet.

“It’s getting more and more confusing as to where that place is.”

Su Xiao muttered in a low voice. He was now basically sure how Gru managed to destroy the Four Kingdoms. The other party relied on a certain place. The black light ball, energy decay ability, and soul ashes all came from that place. 'The Resentful Orphan' 'It's in that secret place right now.

All of this happened because of an ancient god. This ancient god was the least troublesome ancient god Su Xiao had ever seen. He was more peaceful than the Moon God. His mere presence in this world caused black light balls, The ashes of souls, and the emergence of 'grudge orphans'.

If the other party really likes to cause trouble, then this world will be a hundred times more exaggerated than the situation in Helu City. The other party will not need to do anything else. Just by releasing some energy, there will be no normal living creatures in this world.

Almost all doubts were solved, and Lidya Su was in a good mood.

"You three, have you decided to open the dungeon?"

Su Xiao's words caused Councilor Frost Snake, Councilor Rose, and King Lehman to stop talking. Of course, the three of them did not trust Su Xiao, but they wanted to hear what the representative of the Holy Land Councilor had to say. Su Xiao→Pu As an old congressman here, his position as a congressman has become a second-hand commodity, and it is understandable that he is not welcome.

"The man who planned and carried out these things was named Elvis Gru."

Su Xiao raised his hand, and Azaz handed a document into his hand. He threw the document on the table, got up and walked out of the parliament hall.

Congressman Rose picked up the document on the table. After looking at it for a few times, his eyes became serious. It contained information about Elvis Gru, as well as information about the train hijacking incident, the situation of the old Congressman, etc., all of which were connected together. , all the fingers pointed at Elvis Gru, and what is even more impossible to ignore is that these documents came from the House of Parliament.

After leaving the parliament hall, Su Xiao took out a finger-long glass bottle containing soul ashes. Burning the soul ashes can open the gap, and where does the gap lead to? The answer is that where the powerful ancient god is, Gru relied on that place to destroy the Four Kingdoms.

Su Xiao wanted to know why the Ancient God, who was so powerful, was more peaceful than the Moon God.
