Chapter 143 Chapter 143 If there is no body, the soul...
In Desmond's suddenly widened eyes, the swirling and entangled golden and black flames flew past him and rushed towards his eyeballs in mid-air.
What?
The power that was wrapped around them and entangled them was quickly dispelled.
Everyone involuntarily looked in the direction of Chu Zao.
They stood there in a daze as the heavy rain and golden snowflakes intertwined.
What is that little guy talking about?
Great...grandfather?
Golden snowflakes melted on their bodies - no, to be precise, these were not golden snowflakes, but golden spiritual power released from Xiao Chuzao's crown.
It is like floating catkins, falling on the body, but it is warm - warm snow.
What are they?
"Chu Zao...?"
Desmond had already turned over in mid-air, looking at Chu Zao who was rushing in. His voice was filled with doubt, and in the sky above his head, blood-red eyes looked over ferociously, and the surrounding power rioted in an instant.
Those scattered eyeballs and mouths began to twist and combine, emitting angry sounds that were not made by ordinary creatures, forming an even more distorted monster.
Damn it, damn it, damn it——
The 'God' roared, from the toy in the beginning, to the contempt when he found the Crown Clan's resistance, and finally to this moment, everything that he thought was easy to handle could not be concluded, and was broken every time.
He is like the final boss who is defeated layer by layer.
This obviously shouldn't be the case.
Kill this little guy - you must kill this little guy!!!
Chu Zao was still pulling Chao Huangmu, but his other hand had already grasped Desmond's wrist.
"Desmond Dwight."
Chu Zao said.
"You are the Crown Clan, and your forgotten home is the Saint Cass Empire."
Chu Zao looked around - thousands of years had passed, and only these few people were left.
He has grown up, he has...changed from being the protected to being the protector.
No - you can’t bully Zao Zao’s people.
The crown family?
The Sancas Empire?
There was still a bit of confusion in their eyes, but strangely, within the golden power, their bodies seemed to relax, and as they recovered a little bit, those images seemed to slowly appear.
Xi was supporting himself and walking out slowly. He looked up at everything around him - Xi's body was a little tattered, one of his hands was swallowed by the greedy transformed mental power, and most of his arm.
Everything before my eyes seemed like the end of the world.
Countless monsters were twisted and formed, and the so-called "God" was defeated.
Xi leaned against the door. When he heard Chu Zao's words, he was stunned - the Crown Clan.
Are there crown clans here too?
It has survived here for thousands of years?
As expected, he is the immortal species that caused the most headaches for the Anthem Organization in the past. He is really tough.
Xi lowered his eyes again.
He was somewhat surprised at how quickly his position changed. He could now be considered to be on the side of the Crown Clan.
But you must win.
The crown family.
We must win——
Your Highness.
*
And on the interstellar.
Many of the Crown Clan of the Saint Cass Empire have already rushed to the battlefield here - targeting the monsters that have become more powerful by devouring strange beasts in the pollution.
Frey brought the Angel Fountain Stone to the place where Chu Zao disappeared, which was also the burial place of the Crown Clan of Emperor Desmond the Great.
"Your Majesty, we have reached our destination."
The voice of Ye Ming, commander of the Ninth Army, was extremely calm at this time.
Especially when it is judged that the monsters that appear may be directly related to the pollution, and their power has increased again.
Is this the final battle?
Almost all the Sancas who arrived here thought so.
have no idea.
Amos was sitting in his seat, watching the screen quietly.
A moment later, news came from various locations that they had arrived at the preparation positions, and Amos stood up.
Amos's figure appeared on all the starship screens.
The Dwight family and other Crown families that arrived here were all looking at the screen, looking at their absolute leader.
"We were once unable to resist the pollution that was nowhere to be found. But now, unlike in the past, the change that the Crown Clan is pursuing may begin today. From the time the algae appeared until now, we have grasped every variable and finally made the mastermind behind the pollution crazy."
Amos stretched out his hand slightly, and a silver-black light appeared in the palm of his hand, slowly condensing into a long sword.
"Over the past thousands of years, the Crown Clan has paid a huge price, and Saint Cass has paid a huge price. There are only two paths for us, either destroy them or they destroy us."
Amos' voice was calm. He grasped the hilt of his sword and swung it.
"Go forth and achieve victory."
Bring back the cubs of their family!
Elsewhere, Finny was the first to loosen the bowstring as Amos finished speaking. At that moment, countless mental arrows rushed towards the mutated monster deep in the pollution.
Then the Crown Clan everywhere began to act in unison.
This interstellar space lost the Gethen Empire and became leaderless in an instant. It was quickly controlled. Subsequently, countries and organizations in the interstellar space where Saint Cass was located and cooperating with Saint Cass also entered this area. Communications were established at a terrifying speed, and the space changed drastically in an instant.
The Holy Grail Clan also sent people to arrive and study newer instruments and equipment.
And a specially made small starship also arrived at the burial place of Emperor Desmond and other royal families thousands of years ago. Inside the starship, a young man wrapped in a tattered cloak took off his sunglasses and was watching all this from afar with a pair of deep eyes and a serious expression.
Frey, who was waiting here with the Angel Source Stone and quietly watching all this and making unified plans behind the scenes, suddenly realized something and raised his eyes.
"Your Highness! Look, the skeleton of Emperor Desmond——"
"And over there, over there too - is that glowing?"
In this burial place of the Crown Clan's skeletons, among dozens of clan members, the skeletons of a small number of them began to glow faintly.
The Angel Source Stone that Frey was carrying, which had not responded to them for a long time, also glowed slightly.
“What is… happening?”
Frey spoke in a light voice of doubt.
*
The realm of the dragon clan.
At that moment, when Chu Zao tried to help Desmond and the others, their past memories emerged, and Chu Zao seemed to be pulled into those past memories in an instant. Such memories were instilled in a very short time.
Saint Cass, which had just been established not long ago, was still a new and immature empire.
The Crown Clan were sometimes able to use starships for navigation, and were not good at cooperating with the Saint Cas people. Most of their outings were within the race. They were aware of the existence of pollution, its impact on the interstellar space, and had also discovered things like strange beasts. To be on the safe side, the Crown Clan at the time formed a team and were heading out to check it out.
Emperor Desmond was also different from the Crown Clan King that Chu Zao had seen and heard.
He is not so serious and steady. He is unruly and flamboyant, and always loves to smile lazily. As an immortal, he looks ageless and is full of vigor and vitality.
"I don't know what Clancy is thinking all day long. He has a stern face all day long. He is nothing like a father like me."
Desmond held his cheek and snorted softly.
"But after he grew up, he kidnapped the little girl from Ebenino's family and had a cub so quickly. This is not bad. I haven't found a partner yet. I only have this cub. He is better than me."
"You've been saying that all along."
Some members of the Crown Clan complained.
"Isn't it just to show off that you have a baby? Yes, yes, yes, the future Majesty is amazing. It hasn't been long since he found a wife, and he already has a second baby. This is the first time I've seen someone so anxious to have a baby. By the way, did you go to see him before you set off?"
"I only took a few glances at it. Its name is Amos. It's not very conscious yet. It's quite cute, but it seems like it's not very talkative. It's not very active in its habitat."
Desmond smiled in response.
"Both Clancys and Solan have strong mental strength, so this speed is normal."
There weren't actually that many members of the Crown Tribe at that time. Although they liked cubs, the conditions for the birth of cubs were not easy, so their habitat was controlled.
Due to their long lifespans, only a small number of the Crown Clan will look for a partner. Another small number of the Crown Clan prefer partners of other races. It is even common for them to become devastated after becoming widowed over a long period of time.
Although the time interval between their generations is also thousands of years, based on the previous history of the Crown Clan, it can be said to be very short.
Getting a cub is extremely rare, let alone getting two so quickly.
"In the past hundred years, quite a few cubs have been born, and there are even twin cubs. But I understand your excitement, Your Majesty. Please finish everything as soon as possible and go back to see the little princes. His Highness Clancys is probably looking forward to your return."
"Him? Looking forward to me? He wishes I could hang around outside for a while longer, so that the young couple can have more time to love each other."
Desmond snorted and laughed.
"If you ask me, we should also drag out that guy Ebenino. He actually dared to refuse my order. I am his king. I must punish him when I return."
Look at the way you look.
Although he said he would punish Ebenino, he was obviously very proud of the fact that his boy had kidnapped the girl, and he didn't care at all that Ebenino, who was very angry about the abducted girl, disobeyed his orders.
But if you think about it carefully, the so-called mandatory order was just a joke that Desmond made to Ebenino.
Everyone around was laughing.
"Your Majesty, it is Ebenino who cannot defeat you."
Someone nearby laughed.
"Don't you see that Ebenino is unwilling to go with you?"
And the starship sailed for a long time.
Chu Zao seemed to be watching everything that happened in the past from the perspective of a bystander, watching the demise of this branch of the Crown Clan.
Chu Zao saw where the pollution was, but the Crown Clan at that time had not yet realized the impact that pollution could bring to them, nor did they know that in the near future, within ten years, the pollution would spread rapidly, quickly polluting the habitat and beginning the prelude to the shattering of the Crown Clan's crown. The last generation of the Crown Clan also lived in despair and pain all the time.
Their voices were casual at the moment.
"Is that the place ahead where those strange creatures appeared?"
"Let's go and have a look——"
The Crown Clan left the starship that could no longer be found at this moment, flapped their snow-white wings behind them, and rushed into the pollution one by one.
It was obviously not reality, but Chu Zao still subconsciously wanted to speak: "Don't go--"
There is pollution over there, pollution that has a fatal impact on the Crown Clan.
But at this moment, the habitat of the Crown Clan - it seems that it has only been affected, but not destroyed?
Desmond and others completely disappeared and lost contact, and the crown was shattered, which was also one of the signs of pollution that had begun to wreak havoc on the Crown Clan.
It brought a heavy blow and deep despair to the Crown Clan.
From then on, Emperor Desmond disappeared, and His Highness Clancys became His Majesty Clancys.
And at this moment Chu Zao saw all this more clearly.
They were seen arriving at the center of the pollution and were quickly entangled by it. Communications failed, their crowns were affected, their mental strength had problems, and the speed at which they left could not keep up with the speed at which the pollution spread.
In just a moment, Desmond and others realized the impact of pollution on the Crown Clan.
The rapidly expanding power of pollution was showing its fangs and claws. After those strange beasts were dealt with, they appeared again and again, becoming stronger each time.
The Crown Clan will face a devastating blow——
So they, who might have had a chance to leave, tried to suppress the expansion of the pollution as much as possible. The force was indeed held back by their mental power, but the situation began to get out of control.
The crown clan members fell one by one. Although their crowns were still shining, they had completely lost their breath in the polluted power.
Finally, only Desmond was left.
He was standing on the highest mountain, and his huge original form was ferociously suppressing the power that was trying to leave. After the power dissipated, it turned into the shape of the stone that Chu Zao had shot before.
That seems to be the basis for the "Gods" to plunder the stars.
The exhausted Crown Clan suppressed the power under their bodies, the crown on their heads shining brightly, and their mental power suppressed the thing, connecting with the mental power of the surrounding Crown Clan members who had been robbed of their vitality crowns but still existed.
No one knew how much time had passed since the beginning when countless alien beasts had rushed over. Now this place had completely turned into a blood and flesh grinding wheel for the alien beasts. It had successfully become a psychological shadow for the emotionless alien beasts. From then on, the alien beasts could sense fear.
They also caught the 'God' off guard.
But in the end, the giant had lost all its strength, and both sides were injured, and it slowly closed its eyes.
They lay quietly on the highest hill, just as they looked when they first discovered their skeletons.
The high-spirited emperor slowly became silent as he lay on the bloody bodies of his tribesmen. He did not show any emotion until the very end when the second to last tribesman fell.
Was it the pride of the Crown Clan that harmed themselves?
I don’t know, but there is no way, such power is restraining them.
They were now restrained from chatting and laughing just a moment ago.
It was like a grand tragedy.
On a scale never seen before.
Desmond was crying.
Desmond was stifling sobs.
But they have to hold on - for the sake of the growing cubs in the habitat and for the sake of the new empire.
Big tears rolled down his face, which was not yet a skeleton at that time.
"Great grandfather."
Chu Zao, who seldom cried after growing up, suddenly felt a sore nose and blurry vision.
The barrier line of defense is actually the second line of defense.
The first line of defense had already been established at this time, directly restraining the pollution of the Crown Clan and forcibly delaying the expansion of pollution.
Giving the Crown Clan habitat a chance to react.
The 'Gods' are best at plundering, devouring and playing with space.
After struggling with the realm of angels, they started to struggle with the realm of dragons. Because their progress was slowed down, they became very envious of the power of the crown clan.
So in fact, when they could not sense Desmond and his friends' crowns at all and felt that their crowns were broken, it was the greedy "God" who dragged them into the realm of the dragon clan and tried to devour the spiritual power that he had plundered.
However, the spiritual power of the Crown Clan is too strong for the "God" to devour. It can only wait for these spiritual powers to collapse and then devour them one by one to avoid being suppressed again.
Therefore, Desmond and others in the Dragon Realm only remembered their own names and nothing else.
Because they are not complete individuals.
They don't have crowns and wings because they are made up of spiritual power. They can't die and can only collapse and completely lose consciousness. The same is true.
The complete loss of spiritual consciousness, coupled with the death of the outer body, is their true death, a painful death.
They should have been forgotten like this for a long time, until the last member of the tribe collapsed, his consciousness dissipated, and he went completely crazy, and then was used as nourishment and devoured like those tribesmen who had already been like this.
But before that - a small snow-white fur ball broke in first.
That was a place I never thought of returning to.
Those memories broke through the barriers, were repaired, and were remembered, and everything took only a few breaths.
Is it the - cub of their species?
Chu Zao, who was standing next to Desmond, was also in a trance for a moment when he saw the doomsday-like scene before him.
"Yes... cub..."
"Dwight's cub?"
"Is that the next king? Hasn't he had his coming-of-age ceremony yet? The Crown Clan still has cubs—"
"We are... the Crown Clan?"
Those members of the Crown Clan who were in a trance for a moment and recalled the past quickly put everything behind them aside and flashed to Chu Zao's side.
They stretched out their hands but did not dare to touch. They just opened their eyes wide and looked carefully at this little cub in the tribe after thousands of years.
Their home, their past——
Will you find it?
Yes.
"Saint Cass—? This name seems a little strange to me."
For the founders of Sancas, the name of the developing Sancas was not particularly familiar to them.
"You are..." Desmond lowered his head and looked at him with a gentle gaze, "Which boy's cub?"
Chu Zao finally couldn't hold it anymore. He sniffed. It was a bit inconvenient for him to hold Chao Huangmu with his other hand. Chao Huangmu consciously turned into a little black dragon, flapped its wings, and crawled into the white backpack that Chu Zao was carrying, leaving only a little dragon head exposed.
Chu Zao suddenly hugged Desmond.
He buried himself in the rough fabric of Desmond's clothes and sobbed twice, trying to cover up the sound.
But the sound at that moment was captured very keenly by them, and Desmond was a little at a loss for a moment.
Don't cry, baby.
The few Crown Clan members behind Desmond also stretched out their hands, but they did not dare to touch Xiao Chuzao casually.
Dan and Anelin even held their heads, feeling as if the sky had fallen. What were they doing? Did they win the lottery? Why did Xiao Chuzao choose them in the first place?
Ahhhh – they did that to the cubs before…
Oh my god, they did that to the cubs before! They will be deprived of the right to raise the cubs for life!
Oh my god!!! They actually attacked the cubs!
The young boy said in a nasal voice, "My father is Amos, Amos Dwight, the current king of San Cass."
Desmond seemed stunned when he heard Xiao Chuzao's words.
Amos Dwight.
——The current king of Saint Cass?
A lot of time has passed.
So that's how it is.
Clancy - his cub, is he gone?
What about the other crown families?
What about habitat?
What about Saint Cass?
And why does Chu Zao appear here?
Why are you looking for a way out? Are you encountering any trouble outside?
Where is Amos now?
How could he be so irresponsible as to let the cub fall into such a dangerous place?
Desmond and the others had too many questions to ask, and finding their home was not easy.
But now is obviously not the time to ask so many questions.
There was a thump from behind.
Dan turned over and slashed hard at a monster that was approaching with his arm, dragging it away.
Some of the flesh and blood monsters were circling behind and getting closer and closer to Chu Zao, or to the little black dragon who was holding his head and lying in Chu Zao's backpack, having a headache.
"Crown Family...are they okay?"
Desmond finally spoke.
When they were buried here, they had no idea of what would happen next.
I don’t know that they have become the past, leaving behind only an immortal evaluation.
Desmond also cried at the end. As an old guy who had lived for who knows how many years, he thought - after paying such a price, had they accomplished anything?
Did you do anything to help those little guys?
They knew they were a group of reliable little guys.
So when we first encountered the source of pollution, we didn't hesitate at all.
Chu Zao raised her eyes, her honey-colored eyes turning red.
Chu Zao opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
It was Desmond who reacted finally. He chuckled softly, still with that rebellious look, but his fingers gently stroked Chu Zao's face, passing over Chu Zao's eyebrows.
The time was too short and he looked too briefly.
After recalling it, Desmond could feel where his previous sense of intimacy came from. He was not only like him, but also a little like Clancys, the sour-faced and serious little iceberg.
"But it doesn't matter. Now is not the time to ask one by one. But at least when I saw you, I knew that the Crown Clan is still here. If you are still here, does it prove that we are doing well?"
That's great.
Really, that’s great.
Desmond finally recognized his elder status openly and patted Chu Zao's little curly hair.
"Thank you for coming here, Zao Zao. Amos taught you very well."
A cute, smart and beautiful little cub.
Amos's pups are already this age.
It would be nice to watch them grow up.
"But, it should be Zao Zao who should thank you——"
Xiao Chuzao finally spoke.
Desmond laughed, and the Crown Clan members who had recovered their memories and were fighting off the monsters behind him also laughed.
"You are different. I can feel it. There is no need to say thank you. After all, my mind was full of my cubs at the time, and so were they. Zao Zao, if Amos was in my position, he would have made the same decision as me."
so--
"If there is a way to leave, if there is anything you can do, then try it boldly. Although it has been such a long time and we haven't met for long, as an elder, I still support you—"
Desmond and his companions, as the embodiment of spiritual power, are weapons themselves, but have now lost their original spiritual weapons.
Desmond cut off a monster's shoulder, blood stained his face, and his bright eyes were cruel and cold.
"We will not compromise with these things, even when we lose our memories—"
They are always willing to be the first line of defense, for their cubs, for their people, and for the newborn empire.
Everything I do and think remains the same as before——
If it has no hands or feet, it will use its mouth to bite.
If there is no body, the soul can also be used as a knife.
