Chapter 222 Loose
This terrifying pressure lasted for five minutes.
Five minutes later, the pressure that had enveloped the entire territory gradually faded away.
The crowing of cocks was heard in the distance.
The survivors of the Orc Forest slowly stood up and looked at the huge pit in front of them with half fear and half confusion.
"What on earth just happened?"
"God of Light, I thought I was dead..."
"I'm still alive?! I'm not dead! Ha, ahem, I'm not dead!"
Even though everyone does not know the truth, the fear of brushing shoulders with death is so real that even now some people are still trembling and shaking uncontrollably.
Perhaps just a hair's breadth away, they - no, the entire Isaiah continent would be ruined! It was only a few hours ago, but now it felt like half a century.
Only when you are close to death can you know the preciousness of life. In the great joy of survival, people hugged each other and cried, tightly embracing this broken but beautiful world.
It was not known who was the first to prostrate himself towards the pit. The rest of the people also quieted down and knelt down and prayed silently towards the huge pit.
——"May the God of Light take you back to heaven to enjoy endless glory."
——"May you rest in peace."
——"The great and respectable Son of Light, Rant Hobbs."
They will always remember him, and the name of Saint Son Lant will be forever engraved in the history of the Isaiah continent, eternal and unchanging.
It's daybreak.
Callisto looked at the people in front of him who were praying with their eyes closed, then turned and left quietly.
…
…
The door was pushed open.
"Brother?" Lu Yi opened the door and looked at Astor outside in surprise.
Astor's expression was solemn. Before he could speak, Lu Yi asked, "What happened just now, brother? At first I almost thought the manor was attacked, but soon I realized something was wrong - how come the sky suddenly brightened?"
Astor shook his head, hesitated for two seconds and said: "The orcs attacked the forest late at night... Lu Yi, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
"What do you mean?" Lu Yi pretended to be confused and asked.
Astor seemed to be thinking about his words, with a hint of nervousness and worry in his eyes as he spoke.
He always remembered that Lu Yi said he could give everything for Rand.
"Rant has been proven not to be a rebel."
"That's the good news...what about the bad news?"
Astor observed his expression and said carefully: "Rant died at the scene of the orc attack."
Lu Yi was stunned, looking at him as if he couldn't react.
"We should be proud of him. If it weren't for Lant, the entire Isaiah continent would have fallen into an abyss of eternal desolation."
Astor sighed in his heart, but remained calm on the surface for fear of upsetting Lu Yi.
He grabbed Lu Yi's wrist and pressed him to sit on the bed.
"Lu Yi, it's still early. Go to sleep for a while. Everything will be settled when you wake up."
The Vatican must respond to such a big event. The honor that Rand deserves for saving everything with his own strength will not disappear out of thin air.
Astor gently closed Lu Yi's door, turned around and walked towards Duke Klein's study again.
The sky of the empire and the church may be changing.
Lu Yi knew nothing about the plans of Astor and Duke Klein.
At this moment, he was lying on the bed, seemingly sleeping soundly, but only Lu Yi and 857 knew that he was not sleepy at all.
With the annihilation of Rand, it was not only Lu Yi's own perspective that returned.
There is also a small, golden cube.
Lu Yi held the palm-sized small cube with curiosity on his face.
After being baptized by the God of Light several times, Lu Yi's spiritual space has become extremely stable, so he can take out this small cube that is obviously not an ordinary object from his spiritual space without any worries.
[“This thing…could it be the godhood of Mios?”] Lu Yi stared at the small flashing cube in his hand and hesitated for a long time.
[Bingo!] 857 immediately confirmed his guess, [The system has determined that the Dark God has a complete godhead! There is absolutely no mistake.]
The complete divinity of a god!
Lu Yi took a breath and his breathing became heavy.
[“Why, why would Mios’s godhood follow me? Lant has clearly been completely annihilated, not even a soul remains.”]
[It is because Lant's soul dissipated that this godhead followed us back.] 857 said with great emotion, [This can be considered a coincidence. If it were not for our special situation, this godhead would have fallen on the spot and been captured by Kaka.]
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, [“Then Callisto will be so angry that he will die.”]
On the surface, Rand undoubtedly played a big role in the God-killing Plan, but Callisto, who was behind the scenes, was equally indispensable. It can even be said that Callisto was the core and most critical part of the entire plan.
Whether it is the transformation of the Orc Forest forbidden area, the interference with the gods' magic circle, or the skeleton artifact of the Last God of Light, none of these things can be done by Lu Yi in a short period of time.
In this huge chess game set up by Callisto, Rant appeared at the right time.
Everything was supposed to go according to his plan.
It's just a pity that Lant, or Lu Yi, is the unpredictable and uncontrollable unexpected factor. Callisto's years of hard planning were in vain, but in the end he got the advantage.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a futile effort.
Lu Yi lowered his eyes and stared at the divine power the size of a cube in his palm, [“This is the divine power!”]
[Yes, this is the true godhead!] 857 was equally excited.
Godhood has never been so attainable.
What does it mean to become a god?
Lu Yi had never thought deeply about it in the past.
He always felt that "becoming a god" was very far away from him. Even though he held the godhood in his hands at this moment, he still did not feel it was real, and was more confused.
How did the godhood come into his hands?
Is it that easy?
As long as he moves his mind as he pleases, becoming a god will be within his reach?
Lu Yi was originally a little regretful about the departure of the vest, but now that he had the divine power in his hand, he began to feel that he had picked up a great bargain.
A vest item that can be purchased with one point can be exchanged for a unique high-level godhood.
This deal couldn't be better.
[“…I felt like I was playing a game and thought I had just passed a small dungeon, but you told me it wasn’t, it was game over!” Lu Yi said in a trance.
[No!] 857 corrected, [If you absorb the godhead now, Lu Yi, then we will achieve the happy ending, but at the same time we are also very close to the true ending!]
【“tureending?”】
[Yes, Lu Yi, do you still remember those incomplete pieces of godhood that the God of Light asked you to absorb? Light and darkness coexist and coexist. Mios and Chaos are fellow gods, and their godhoods are also closely connected.]
[If the Isaiah continent is compared to a game, becoming a god is to clear the level, and becoming a god by absorbing the dual godhood of light and darkness is a perfect clearance! ]
Lu Yi quietly clenched the divine cube in his hand and grinned: [“Okay, you succeeded in seducing me.”]
Chaos has been dead for so many years, and he is not polite to the ownerless godhood and throne.
[“What is the concept of a god who becomes a god with light and darkness? Can he compete with Ares?” Lu Yi asked excitedly.
[More than that, it's a concept that can beat Alice! ]
【“Wow!”】Lu Yi exclaimed in a very supportive manner, 【“Then I can’t let it go.”】
Pin down Ares and beat him!
In every sense of the word!
Just thinking about it, Lu Yi couldn't control the corners of his mouth from rising.
[Wait a minute, why do I feel like your smile is not right...weird.]
Lu Yi coughed twice and said, "You don't understand...children should not interfere in adult matters."
He wasn't thinking anything weird!
…
Remote forest.
Thor woke up with a splitting headache.
"I...what's wrong with me?" He clearly remembered that he was supposed to lead his men back to the Orc Forest.
Sia was indifferent to his discomfort and said bluntly: "Paso is dead."
Sol was stunned, staring at him blankly and repeating subconsciously: "Paso is dead?"
"You said Paso is dead? Who? Beast King Paso? My brother Paso? Dead?"
"How is that possible! He is the Beast King, the strongest being in the entire Beast Clan... This joke is not funny at all."
Thor stood up and was about to go out. The Orc Forest was badly damaged, and he had to take everyone back to provide support!
Xia looked at him coldly and followed Thor without saying anything.
After leaving the bedroom, he said again: "It's just right for you to return to the Orc Forest and take over the position of Beast King."
Thor stopped suddenly.
"In the presence of the elders, I lost the competition to inherit the title of Beast King. The Beast King is Paso, not me, Sol."
"But now that Paso is dead, you are the only one who can legitimately inherit the throne of Beast King!"
"You knocked me out because you don't want me to save Paso?"
Xia was immediately mocking when he heard this, and snorted coldly, "You save him? Do you have a misunderstanding of your own abilities? How can you save him from a god! Even if I let you go, you will just die in vain!
"Thor, you should thank me, otherwise these orcs under your command, as well as yourself, would have died! I saved you!
"I'll remind you one last time. You'd better rush to the Orc Forest and subdue the remaining tribes. Right now, the orcs are all old, weak, sick and disabled. This is the best time for you to come forward. Once the other ambitious people behind you recover, you won't be able to easily become the Beast King anymore."
"...I never thought of becoming the King of Beasts." Thor whispered.
Xia heard the slight tremor and nasal sound in his voice, looked at him in disbelief and said, "What is this? Are you grieving over the death of your competitor?! Have you forgotten how Paso drove you out of the Orc Forest?!"
"He is my biological brother..." Sol finally couldn't help sobbing, "My father and mother left me, and my eldest and third brothers also died in accidents. Paso is the only relative I have in this world!"
But today, he even lost his only relative.
"Even though we were inciting other forces in the Orc Forest, Paso never thought of taking my life..." Thor whispered.
When they were young, they had a good time with each other.
Thor himself couldn't figure out when exactly the rift between the four brothers began, when they each had their own considerations and competing interests.
But all this seemed meaningless after the deaths of my three brothers.
The awakening brought by death is too heavy and too late.
"I never wanted him to die..."
Sol seemed to have finally accepted the reality of Paso's death. He collapsed to the ground, covering his face and burst into tears.
Xia, who was standing by, was almost laughing at his behavior.
"Foolish, naive! Who are you showing your sorrow to? Paso, who is already dead as hell?!"
"Xia!" Thor growled.
Xia pulled him up and shouted angrily, "Go! Get up! Stop looking so half dead!"
Thor broke free from his hand, "I will not fight for the throne of Beast King."
Xia looked at him in disbelief, not knowing whether she was shocked by his words, or by his behavior of breaking free from her hand for the first time, or both.
"What did you say?"
"I said I won't fight for the position of Beast King!" Thor said loudly, "I will return to the Orc Forest, but I won't fight for anything."
He returned to the Orc Forest because the Orc Forest needed him now.
More than that, he didn't want anything else.
Thor stood up and moved away from Xia.
"Xia, please go."
"What are you talking about?!" Xia was struck by lightning and grabbed Thor's sleeve in panic, "What do you mean? Do you want to abandon me too?"
It was Thor himself who said that he would never give up on him no matter what!
He obviously said it himself!
Thor avoided his gaze, lowered his eyes and said: "No, I will never abandon you."
"It's just that Xia, at this moment I suddenly realized that maybe we were not on the same path from the beginning to the end. You can't change me, and I can't change you."
Xia couldn't understand his pain, just as he couldn't empathize with his stubbornness.
They were two straight lines with different destinations, but at Thor's insistence, they intersected briefly.
But in the end, they still have to go their separate ways.
There is only one person left in the orc royal family, and he must shoulder the responsibilities that he should bear.
Thor is no longer qualified to play around with Xia.
The sun will eventually set.
Maybe his sun had actually rotted a long time ago, but Thor himself was just stubborn and unwilling to accept it.

The author has something to say:
Someone asked me on vb when it would be finished.
I can’t give a specific answer in terms of time, but I can tell you clearly about the progress of the article. After the end of this volume, there are only two volumes left, which will be almost finished, with about 200,000 words (to prevent embarrassment, probably, there will be no more side stories)
①, The original sentence is a line spoken by Zhen Huan in Legend of Zhen Huan. I felt it was particularly suitable for this place, so I paraphrased it and specially marked it as quoted here!
