Chapter 34
“Ahhh—”
There were screams from the underground altar.
Then there was the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground.
The young man took a step forward and swung the knife, flexing his muscles and bones to his heart's content, just like a vigorous young man who had just learned how to use a knife.
When people get old, they are no longer in control of themselves. Both their body and their identity will become more and more restricted.
But now, he has regained his youth, with a childish smile on his face, and then he smiles kindly like an old man.
His expression kept changing, as if he was repeatedly adjusting his mental state. The movements he made while handling the scene were more like playing than fighting.
This is what happens when you are released after being repressed for a long time, and you can't help but vent yourself out.
After cleaning up the scene, he still felt unsatisfied. He imagined pagan gathering places in his mind, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent, so cold that it was chilling.
It was not until half an hour later that Roger calmed down a little. He stood alone in the pool of blood and corpses, looking up at the only light leaking from the sky.
He rushed here as soon as he woke up, and had not yet carefully sorted out what happened before and after his death.
His memory of being killed was a little vague because the human body is too fragile and it is difficult for the brain to function normally in a state of extreme blood loss, so he does not remember it clearly.
He was not strong at all among the combat heroes. Even Chen Lingxi, who was a tank, had stronger attack power than him. Playing dead was his usual trick. He had deceived the God of War. Over the past thousands of years, he had experienced life and death countless times. The methods he had used to survive were far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Otherwise, he would not have been the only hero who survived until now.
History books more or less glorify the character and deeds of heroes, so young people born in the past thousand years generally think that heroes are symbols of so-called light, virtue and wisdom.
Haha, just think about it and you’ll know it’s impossible.
Strength alone is definitely not enough in this world.
Ah, but...it’s better to be young.
Luo Jie lowered his head, slowly wiped the sword, and slowly recalled the situation after the death last night.
When he was unconscious, he seemed to hear some noise, then he opened his eyes and vaguely saw - two cats with different fur?
There was no way an ordinary cat would appear at that battle scene. If an ordinary cat dared to come in, it would have been killed by the curse. They... no, should I say "they", what on earth are they?
Roger didn't remember clearly, but he vaguely felt that their magic was not unfamiliar, and they came to save him. In the end, they gave him something to drink, so he became like this.
He is young and strong, with abundant energy and blood, and his magic power seems to be inexhaustible.
Well, that's a good thing.
Roger smiled slightly but forgot to wipe the blood off his face, making him look very scary, like a bloodthirsty psychopathic murderer.
We'll talk about them later. We've finally managed to return to our 30% heyday, so we have to hurry and kill all those guys.
Thinking of this, Roger felt very happy.
He had never thought of telling the Empire that he was still alive, because his escape was too free, and... it was time for him to retire.
This will be a challenge. Without the support of brave men, will you collapse in despair or will you cheer yourself up, choose to face it, and choose to grow?
Roger's eyes were deep.
"…Grow up quickly."
After a few seconds, the young man in the pool of blood disappeared.
-
The other party.
Duke Feyman was very puzzled when he received the news that the stronghold had been destroyed.
Who did it?
Duke Feyman said angrily: "What's going on? The brave Roger is dead. Who dares to go against us? Isn't this guy desperate? Isn't he afraid of death?"
The believers below knew nothing because those who encountered that person were dead, so how could they know what the other person was?
The combat power of the Os Empire was just as they expected. When the continental human alliance and neighboring countries would not lend a helping hand, how could the Os Empire have this new combat power suddenly emerge out of nowhere?
Could it be that the eldest princess has returned?
Someone shook his head and said, "Impossible. If the Grand Duke returns, he will definitely make a big show to shock the whole country. And this person is a young man, not a woman, not an alien, but a real human!"
Duke Feyman's face was gloomy, and he chuckled, "After the brave Roger, who else wants to interfere with the predetermined demise of the Os Empire? It doesn't matter, kill them all. No one can stop the coming of my God!"
The believers looked at each other in bewilderment. Someone said anxiously, "He is at least level 90. No matter how many of us there are, we won't be enough to kill him."
Duke Feynman was furious. "What a bunch of rubbish! Do I really have to take action?"
As it spoke, it suddenly appeared in front of the believer, slapped off one of its heads with its backhand, and blood spurted out like a fountain. It was a horrifying sight.
Everyone was covered in blood, their faces turned pale and they were trembling with fear.
Duke Feyman picked up another believer and yelled at him, "Do you know why you are weak? Because you don't have enough faith! I let you kill to hone your faith! Go now!"
The people on the opposite side were stunned for a moment, and then they said, as if they had received an imperial decree, "Yes! It is just as the Apostle said!"
Immediately afterwards, hurried footsteps were heard from the underground altar.
Duke Feynman sneered and said coldly, "Trash."
Its injuries from last night haven't healed yet, otherwise it would really like to meet this guy who appeared out of nowhere.
"You all overestimated your own abilities. The last brave warriors all died in my hands. Who do you think you are? How dare you challenge me?"
Duke Feynman had a ferocious expression, but after his rage, he looked satisfied.
Because its god is about to come, the destruction of the Oss Empire is a foregone conclusion.
Even if the God of Light or the God of Hades came, they would not be able to kill him.
-
At around 1 p.m., the Empire received intelligence one after another.
"What did you say? A mysterious figure appeared and took down the pagan strongholds one by one?"
"A young man? Who is he and why is he helping us?"
"Wait, you can't find anyone?"
The military was in an uproar. Who could remain calm after hearing this news?
Is there someone helping them secretly?
Fili immediately went to the military office, walking hurriedly with an expression of surprise that could not be hidden on his face.
"Ronald, is the news true?"
Ronald turned around, holding a stack of papers in his hand, and nodded: "It's true, a mysterious person destroyed three pagan strongholds."
When they were in despair and at a loss over the death of the brave man Logie, someone actually stood up and fought against the enemy forcefully.
Fili was incredulous and asked, "Do you know who he is? Where is he now? Any clues about him?"
Ronald shook his head, "I don't know."
This is a completely unreal person, powerful and fierce. You can see from the scene that the fighting style is not human at all, venting wantonly, extremely brutal, slaughtering and ravaging, and it is impossible to tell which side is the monster.
With such a terrible temperament, even if he is dealing with their enemies, he may not be their friend.
To be honest, Ronald had goosebumps all over his body when he arrived at the scene. He had been through many brutal scenes, but such a brutal scene was one of the best in his memory.
It can be seen that the person is definitely not an easy person to get along with. He has a visibly bad temper and it is impossible to get along with him normally.
Ronald said: "But fortunately, he is dealing with our enemies instead of us."
Fili nodded: "Have you told His Majesty and Elinson about this?"
Ronald: "They all know about it, but they have no idea who it could be."
A young man who is above level 90... and his profession seems to be a warrior or a thief. Who can you think of?
So far, there are only about 200 known and surviving beings above level 90 on the mainland, and each of them is famous. But it seems that no one can guess who this person who suddenly appeared today is.
"Did you see his face?"
"I can't see him. He's too fast."
Fili thought, "Could it be that he is here to avenge the Brave Roger? The Brave Roger has many students. Maybe he knows about the Brave Roger and is angry and wants to avenge his teacher."
Ronal shook his head and said, "If he was someone who would help the Brave Roger, he should have taken action before this and would not allow the Brave Roger to be killed."
It doesn't make sense to wait until someone dies before taking action.
Fili paused, "You have a point."
But then, who is the other party?
After a moment of silence, they still couldn't figure it out.
"No matter what, we should thank him for showing up."
“Continue to perform your duties and do your job well.”
-
On the other side, inside the palace, half an hour ago.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, leave everything to us."
Elinson looked at the platform and said firmly: "The Os Empire will be protected by me and us."
Anna looked tired. She took a while to turn around, and her calm eyes reflected the equally tired Elinson.
After a long while, Anna suddenly spoke up and said, "I don't think the brave Roger will die easily. He must have a backup plan."
Elinson nodded heavily, "I also think that Mr. Roger will not die easily."
“…”
Anna looked into the distance, as if she was remembering the day when she first met the brave Roger.
At that time, she was still a child of five or six years old.
When they first met, he gave her the impression of a kind and amiable old man, and not at all like a world-class hero who had experienced the battlefields of life and death.
She even joked about his messy gray beard, saying that he didn't look like a brave man at all.
Later, someone told her, "On this continent, you must never judge people by their appearance, especially those who have lived through the Age of Gods."
She was young at the time and didn't fully understand, but she nodded seriously.
The man emphasized: "Some people become more evil as they get older. Don't be careful of anyone who lives a long time."
Anna was inexplicably impressed and remembered it deeply. Since then, she has always been in awe of the elderly, especially those who look ordinary but have lived for thousands of years.
However, even though she believed it, Anna didn't know what Roger's next move might be.
Things in the world are full of uncertainties, maybe they just believe what they want to believe.
Thinking of this, Anna's eyes dimmed and her face seemed a little pale.
Elinson was also deep in thought, and suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the treasure?"
Anna turned her head and said in surprise, "Are you talking about the lost treasure of the alien god?"
Elinson nodded: "Yes, although I don't have any hope for this and don't think it can prevent the arrival of the alien gods, but I can't just leave it unsolved. Your Majesty, you know something, right?"
When the Imperial City was in chaos, Alison had just graduated from the World Magic University and was over level 50, so she did not really participate in the chaos. She did not know much about what happened at the center of the chaos, and most of what she knew was relayed, and it was even more impossible for her to know the specific information about the "treasure".
The secret scroll said that the treasure was the beginning of the madness of the previous king.
All the madness of the previous king was just to get that treasure.
However, in the end, they didn't even know what the treasure was.
Now that I think about it, is this reasonable?
So, Elinson thought she had to know what was going on.
Anna was in deep thought, frowning slightly, and her lowered eyes showed a look of reminiscence.
After a long while, she slowly said, "I don't know what that treasure is. My brother is very secretive about it and has never mentioned it to anyone. After the chaos in the imperial city ended, the great magician of the court at that time speculated that the treasure my brother mentioned might be the limbs of a god from another world. Considering that my brother went from level 67 to level 95 in just three days, the old magician also speculated that my brother must have eaten the limbs of a god from another world and swallowed up some of his power, which allowed him to cross the divine realm in a short period of time and become so powerful."
Elinson was surprised, "The limbs of a god from another world?"
God's limbs contain powerful energy and are definitely not edible by humans.
If an ordinary person ate it, it would be strange if he didn't explode and die. How could the previous king not eat himself to death?
Anna nodded: "Yes, no matter what, that level of increase is too unnatural, it seems that this is the only possibility."
"this……"
Elinson couldn't believe it.
Devouring God's limbs and digesting them as one's own strength...there will definitely be revenge.
There are so many gods to offend, but why did he offend the alien gods in the subspace? The previous king must have been crazy.
Anna's eyes were complicated, and she continued, "But this is just a hypothesis. No matter what, nothing was found back then. We can only assume that my brother swallowed and digested the things, so we can't find them. Even the gods from other worlds can't find them."
Elinson frowned, "Really..."
Anna looked into her eyes and said, "You want to use the treasure to lure the alien god away. I know what you're thinking, but I really can't find it. Even if I want to return it to the alien god, I can't do it."
It is not surprising that the previous king had committed such a serious crime and his country was destroyed by the gods from other worlds long ago.
At that time, the magicians fought hard to save the country and forcibly isolated the alien god from the world, so that he could not find the location of the Os Empire and could not descend. But after decades, the alien god was finally found.
After the last time, his revenge against the Os Empire will only be more terrifying than before.
In its heyday, the Os Empire was once a top ten human nation, with a large number of top warriors. But now it has few talented people and a lack of successors. They will definitely not be able to join forces to send him away like they did in the past. By then, it will be a question whether they can die normally.
Their worst plan is to prepare for death in advance, otherwise they don’t know how they will be tortured and whether they can die like a human being.
Anna pondered, her body trembling slightly.
Elinson's eyes darkened, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I understand."
In other words, has the line of treasures from the otherworldly gods been broken?
Elinson persevered and continued to look for the next clue.
A few minutes later, she received news that the pagan strongholds were being blown up one by one, and her eyes changed.
"That person is..."
-
On the other side, the subspace.
The two Abyss Lords fought for an unknown amount of time, to the point that the rules of space were almost wiped out.
"Beelzebub, don't hide if you can!"
"Humph, if you can't hit it, it means you are not capable."
"Haha, you want to use this trick, right? I must beat you down today!"
Eliog is still fighting with Beelzebub. They have been fighting in the subspace for more than a month. His magic power is endless and he shows no signs of getting tired.
Their fight alarmed another of their compatriots.
The guy was sleeping soundly in the subspace, but was suddenly woken up by the quarrel between the two guys. He opened his big satellite-sized eyes and watched them fighting each other.
He thought to himself, "What happened to Eliog and Beelzebub? Why are they fighting this time?"
Ah, I really want to use part of their bodies to make magic potions. It must be very effective. Maybe I can make a more perfect resurrection potion.
But why?
Beelzebub doesn't seem to be the type to casually fight with his compatriots, right?
After thinking for a while, Buyer suddenly discovered something interesting.
It seems that his two compatriots don't know space magic. Is that why they can't go back after fighting in the subspace for more than a month?
"Interesting and interesting."
-
Meanwhile, inside the antique shop.
Moragos slapped Inbos away with his claws and angrily said, "What kind of advice are you giving to your father, kid?"
Inposs patted his head, stared at Moragos with his cat eyes, and said with puffed cheeks angrily: "I think it's a good idea!"
Moragos snorted, "Don't give father any advice!"
The two cats started fighting under the front desk over the suggestion just made.
Xius thought for a while and said silently to himself: "This... is unlikely. I am only level 27 now. What if I get exposed?"
That suggestion is too... my own child is too fantastical. It seems unlikely, right?
At this time, the black bird in the system box couldn't help but talk to the two cats outside.
"Don't you care about the matter of the Outer God?"
The two cats listened to the voice in their heads, their faces darkened at the same time, and they said in unison: "Don't talk in your head! You stupid bird!"
They have an ability that allows them to contact their compatriots at will, convey their thoughts, and communicate with each other within a radius of one hundred meters.
It's called [spiritual common domain].
Vashak is looking for Agares through [Spiritual Sharing], which is the fastest way to find compatriots, although they have not been found yet.
The little black bird became their compatriot and naturally learned this ability.
The little black bird was bullied by them, but he didn't feel anything at all, and continued cheerfully: "Don't you care?"
He was new and didn't know the rules between them, especially Agares' suggestions.
The two cats knew that He didn't understand and didn't want to explain, but they were also worried that this guy would mess up and cause trouble for his father.
Inbos thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "That is a human matter and has nothing to do with us."
Moragos nodded, "Why worry about it? If Roger regains his strength, he can handle it himself."
The little black bird didn't understand and said, "But father is also worried about this."
Moragos was more straightforward. As a purebred abyss creature, he really didn't care about the lives of humans. He said directly: "We will take father away if necessary."
Because Persia had more contact with humans, he was a little hesitant and said to the little black bird: "You have been in the human world for more than ten years, you should know why, unless your bird brain is really simple-minded."
The little black bird tilted its head, "You don't have to be so rigid."
Inpos asked, "What do you want to say?"
The little black bird suddenly broke the news and whispered, "I have seen that otherworldly god."
The two cats were stunned at the same time. Is this true?
Moragos' eyes widened: "You two actually know each other?"
The little black bird shook his head: "I don't know him. I just caught a glimpse of him in the warp a long time ago."
Inpos became curious and asked, "What kind of God is He?"
The little black bird's black eyes flashed, and he recalled: "He seemed to be a gloomy guy with a bad temper."
Moragos said, "Oh!" "It seems like he will never give up."
The little black bird shook his head, "That's not what I wanted to say."
Inpos frowned: "What?"
This silly bird is still keeping us in suspense?
The little black bird said seriously: "Didn't I go to the Magician's Association with my father? There is His presence nearby."
The two cats widened their eyes at the same time and were startled.
Moragos was surprised and asked, "Ah? You mean He has already arrived?"
This is not a joke!
The little black bird shook his head again, "It's not that He has come, but that there is His presence nearby! Um... For example, is a part of Him there?"
Inpos wondered: "Does a part refer to a part of the body?"
Little Black Bird: "Similar, but not completely. I can recognize it as His aura, but the purity is far from enough. I don't know how to describe it."
The two cats confused Him, is that right?
Moragos said dissatisfiedly: "What is it? Just go and take a look and you will know."
You know what, I'm a little curious.
Inposs raised his paw and said, "Very good, you come out and lead the way."
But the little black bird hesitated. He was strengthening himself in the system and couldn't come out. Secondly, he was worried that the two cats would torment him.
At this time, Xius looked at the time, 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
He thought about it, then suddenly stood up and looked like he was going out.
Ben was waiting for the little black bird to answer, but when he realized that his father was about to go out, the two cats immediately reacted and followed him one after the other.
"You asked me if I was going to the Magicians' Guild?"
Xius nodded. "Yes, I am still a little worried about Luo Jie. The magicians of the Magicians Association should know the details."
Gray Cat wanted to say that the specific situation was that Roger was out there letting himself go and killing himself like crazy!
However, their father seemed to be unaware of the true identities of those heroes.
Back then, after his father fell into the abyss, the brave men were like sharp blades without their sheaths, razor sharp, fighting and killing the gods. Because they were out of control and no one could persuade them, they did countless things that terrified the gods.
Perhaps in his father's impression, they were still good heroes who were qualified to be heroes, but after his father fell into the abyss, they completely became a notorious group of villains.
Yes, that’s right, it’s a group of villains, and it’s no exaggeration.
Just take a look at the praises for the brave in history. To those who know the truth of history, they are all beautified rhetoric!
If you think about it, you will know what kind of world they live in? A chaotic world where all kinds of monsters, demons, perverts and lunatics are rampant!
Can the identity of a "brave man" cope with this?
To defeat a madman, you must become a madman yourself.
When you are among a group of crazy guys, no matter how normal you are, you will inevitably be influenced by the bad people around you.
The living environment is enough to influence people's thinking and even personality.
Or in other words, it brings out the unknown dark side of one's original character.
Take Roger for example, he went crazy a lot in the past, but he calmed down only after he got older.
Others may not know, but they know it clearly.
The father not only has a filter for them, but also for those brave men!
Because they couldn't return to Blue Planet, the six heroes were furious and wanted to take revenge on the humans who summoned them to the other world.
It's like destroying a country on impulse, isn't it?
The fourth natural disaster for sure!
Rather, among the seven heroes, only their father had a good temper.
Others may be a little green at the beginning, but after being in the other world for a long time, who is not a dark chaos faction?
How can you not go crazy in that kind of high-pressure environment?
Human history books portray heroes as a group of good people who are "orderly and good", write them into epic novels and stories, and let wandering poets publicize them everywhere. On the one hand, this unconsciously glorifies heroic figures, and on the other hand, it is also a form of "moral kidnapping."
What I mean is, look, everyone thinks you are good people, can you... be a good person?
Now it's been so long that many people don't know about it anymore.
Of course, it is not easy for Inbos to reveal the cruel deeds that the heroes committed later. If you expose others, you might be exposed by others!
They all have scandals, how dare they act rashly?
Inbosi thought of many things at once, his eyes changed, and he hesitated and remained silent.
Xius didn't know that his child had so many thoughts in such a short period of time. He just thought that the child's stern face was inexplicably cute.
"Let's go."
"We should also go and find out the situation."
Half an hour later, Zeus arrived at the entrance of the Magicians' Association again.
This time the atmosphere was very heavy.
Some magicians knew about the country's crisis, while some were not fully aware, but they all felt that something was wrong.
When Xius walked to the door, several people looked at him with complicated eyes, as if they wanted to say something but stopped. They took a few steps forward, lowered their heads, stopped, and finally turned and left.
Hughes knew what they were thinking.
He was a student of Grand Master Matros, and some of them wanted to ask Matros for help through him, but unfortunately, he didn't know Matros's contact information and had never even met him.
Xius found Xili, Fushan, Oror, and several other prestigious magicians, but their answers were almost the same, they didn't know the situation of the brave Roger.
The military was suppressing the news, and some of them only suspected that something had happened.
To some extent, Hughes actually knew more than them, after all, he had been to the scene.
There is no new information, and it seems that they are even more confused than I am.
Hughes stopped at the corridor and looked up at the sky.
At the same time, the little black bird ran out, flapped its wings excitedly in the air, and flew straight in one direction, as if to say, Dad, follow me.
Zeus was no longer surprised by his child's various magical powers, and followed him without any doubt.
After a few minutes, he walked through several corridors, as if he had entered a maze and could not recognize the way at all, but the little black bird was still flying forward happily.
"Hodel you——"
Hughes was about to call out to the little black bird, but suddenly his expression changed, he stopped, and turned to look at an open space.
No, not an empty lot.
Hughes took a quick look and thought, it's a cemetery.
There is a cemetery inside the Magicians Association?
He was stunned for a moment, then took a closer look and discovered that the cemetery was surrounded by a huge magic circle structure.
The marble steps are covered with magic spells, which are so densely painted that it is dizzying to look at. If you try to identify them carefully, you may get lost.
This structure is at least a super-magic structure.
But why around a cemetery?
With Zeus's knowledge of magic, he could only think of one possibility.
"Is it to seal the things in the cemetery?"
Whose grave is this?
Just as Hughes was about to think, he suddenly heard a baby's voice.
It was as clear and continuous as a silver bell, but it did not come from one place, but from all directions at the same time.
An invisible baby crying?
Hughes and the little black bird were both stunned.
When Hughes walked in, he heard the crying even louder.
He felt more and more that it was not just a sound, but that there was indeed a baby crying.
The question is… where?
It can't be under the cemetery, right?!
-
At the same time, at 5 pm, another pagan stronghold was destroyed.
Duke Feynman could no longer sit still and wanted to personally deal with the fool who dared to interfere with their great cause.
A few minutes later, a fierce battle broke out in the underground altar.
Duke Feynman descended with pride and looked coldly at the young man lying in a pool of blood.
The terrifying pressure released with its breath can crush any existence below level 90.
However, the young man was not affected at all. He stretched his hands and legs, and felt relaxed as if he was at home.
When I saw it, there was no ripple at all.
Duke Feynman was despised and was immediately furious. He used his full-level deadly skill in an instant, and thick blood-red tentacles suddenly stretched out from the cracks in space.
But the target disappeared in an instant.
Before it could react, it was hit hard in the face, causing severe pain that made its whole body tremble.
In a moment of distraction, perhaps just a second, the man stabbed it dozens of times until there was no more room to stab further!
Duke Feynman's mind was in a mess, but then he heard:
"Haha, surprise?"
It immediately associated this voice with Roger.
How is this possible? It stared at the young man's face with its eyes wide open.
The young man stepped on it but didn't look at it. Instead, he glanced at the believers outside and said in a very mature tone, "A bunch of ignorant brats, believing in this today and that tomorrow, with flexible belief standards, pretending to worship God but actually worshipping desire. Now that we are all here today, no one can leave."
The other side is extremely terrified. What will happen if you don’t leave?
Someone immediately called for help: "Master Apostle, please save us!"
However, Duke Feynman was still in doubt. How could he not recognize that this young man was actually Roger, whom he had killed?
This guy actually came back to life and became younger. Is he looking for revenge? What a joke!
It exploded on the spot, using all its skills to the maximum. Ten minutes later, it vomited blood and dragged its broken body, crawling on the ground in a panic. Both of its eyes were stabbed with daggers and were bleeding dried black blood.
It roared, "This is not...possible. You can't be that strong. You are obviously old. Your strength has obviously declined!"
Roger half-knelt down, grabbed the back of its neck, and smashed its head to the ground, causing it to bleed and scream in pain.
"What's impossible? I was once at the highest level. Can you do that? Even if your god came, I would still fight him. What's more, you are just a little apostle? I killed 3,000 angels a day, and even the gods couldn't stop me. What's wrong with hitting you?"
It trembled and vomited blood again, "This is impossible, you old thing... you should be dead."
Luo Jie chuckled, his eyes cold, "How can you not respect the elderly?"
