Return

——Him?

Oreius immediately compared it with the Book of Answers. There are not many beings that the Queen of Insects can call Him. The red-haired young man's face changed drastically, and his expression became extremely ugly.

If it is really the [Monster Lord] who took action, I am afraid it will be a tough battle when I return.

The thought flashed through his mind. He calmly withdrew his mental power, reducing the control over his body's senses. With a series of smooth movements, he suppressed the deadly pain.

As for the wound, as long as it's not fatal, it can be easily healed when we return to the Black Mist Era.

The Queen of Insects on the other side had obviously gone mad. She didn't even care about the blood erosion and chewed the hand as if it were Orelius himself.

In the Black Mist Era, the Queen of Insects could not have bitten off his hand. After all, the body strengthened by the [Mother of Ten Thousand Stones] has both the flexibility and the hardness of ore, which is why only the wrist was injured before. Today is different from the past. The power of the alien god has been restricted, and only the blessing is still effective. In this way, his current body really cannot compete with the Queen of Insects.

Christine was completely stunned. In the God-favored era when people were simple and honest, he had never seen such a scene before. His voice was trembling for a moment: "O, Oreus!?"

Before he finished speaking, he watched the red-haired young man smear blood on the sword. The snow-white long sword shone even brighter, and the bright red lines were hot and dazzling. Blood was flowing down his cold face, and his eyes were cold and intimidating.

"Christine, the artifact is inside the Queen's body, help me get it out."

He spoke with great force, not at all worried about the difficulties ahead, as if nothing could stop him from moving forward.

Damn it! I am the knight favored by God, right? Yet I am impressed by your handsomeness.

Seeing Aurelius's nonchalant look, the knight sighed deeply in his heart. He suppressed his worries. Since his companions were fighting so hard, Christine would not retreat.

At this point, we have to fight with all our might.

He silently prayed in his heart, and endless power surged out of his body. As long as the sunlight and moonlight never disappeared, the physical strength of the God-favored Knight would never be exhausted. Under the care of the God of Medicine, all the wounds healed. After doing this, Christine cast magic on himself and Orelius in turn to improve their resistance to injury, combat power and healing ability.

The slightly long casting time attracted the attention of the Queen of Insects. Due to the restraint of Oleus, He could not kill Christine directly. The latter suffered a lot because of this. The Queen of Insects created a new wound on Oleus, looked at the magic light falling from the sky, and suddenly made a sharp insect cry.

“——”

Christine interrupted the spellcasting without thinking and rolled on the spot to avoid the attack. After the attack missed, the insect people disappeared back into the void, waiting for the next opportunity to attack.

This is a problem.

Christine was slightly shocked and chose to join the battlefield directly, working with Oleus to fight against the Queen of War Bugs.

They had been working together for two and a half months, and each of them filled in the gaps in the battle. The Queen was like a ghost, swinging her insect limbs to cut through the deep gullies on the ground, and in an instant, the land outside Xinye City was completely changed. The battle between the two was completely beyond the ability of ordinary people, and even if they wanted to intervene, they had to consider the possibility of accidental injuries.

He was betting that the Queen of Insects was reluctant to waste her insect subjects, otherwise she would have been sent to the battlefield long ago.

Just as Christine expected, when the Queen of Insects saw the two of them joining forces, she screamed loudly, and the insect people immediately changed direction and led the insect disaster to rush towards the city wall.

The overwhelming sea of ​​insects was enough to devour everything, and the elusive insect people also appeared out of nowhere. These half-human, half-insect monsters caused the defenders to be in chaos. The paladins stabilized their positions in time and shouted, "Don't let them rush to the city!"

"Bang——"

Oleus took the queen's blow, and a little sweetness came out of his throat. Behind him was the wall of New Leaf City. The queen narrowed her eyes as if she had found something interesting, and chuckled, "You care about these humans a lot?"

"I care more about when you die."

The red-haired young man responded directly, doing his best to restrain the queen. Christine took the opportunity to pull his hand away and save several paladins.

Behind them, the defenders were engaged in close combat with the insect swarm, symbolizing that the war between humans and insects had finally entered a white-hot state.

Powerful energy waves dissipated, and the night sky in the sky began to shake precariously. The queen turned her head abruptly, and stared at the city wall with her compound eyes. Her speed was so fast that she successfully avoided the chain defense of the two people, and flashed in front of the city wall as if she had teleported, and split the hard building without hesitation!

"!!!"

The two of them were shocked at the same time, watching the cracks in the city wall, and countless insects poured into the city through the cracks. Oreius no longer hesitated, and recited at the cost of overdrawing his breath.

"His blood is silver, and His bones are gold. All that is watered in His bones and blood is His armor!"

When the holy prayer came out, Christine's pupils shrank slightly.

He smelled a familiar scent from his companion, which was the divinity that only gods possessed.

Complex patterns appeared on Oreius's face, and his eyes turned red. He stepped forward to face the queen's attack. The murderous aura almost condensed into substance, and the monster's roar and cry could be heard faintly. Without the suppression of the alien god, the curse of the vest immediately surged up. The red-haired young man was like a wild beast, and even Christine couldn't get close to him. He could only watch in horror as the two monsters collided head-on.

The mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood were just like this. The strong aura dyed the air scarlet, making it difficult to tell who was the real □□. The Queen of Insects laughed loudly and bit the other's body: "This is the real you, you are more like a monster than me!"

The red-haired young man bit the other side madly, and the friction between his teeth and the insect shell made a creepy chewing sound. The long sword pierced the queen's chest, and the metal broke in the middle with a snap. Oleus refused to give in and directly stabbed his bleeding left wrist into the wound!

Blood gushed in, staining the queen's chest red, and also staining the body of the pocket watch in her chest red.

The pattern on the surface of the pocket watch became extremely bright, and the sound of movement became clearer. For a moment, it seemed that this was the only sound left in the world.

"No—I don't want to go back!"

The queen's will to resist was conveyed through her pocket watch, but unlike her, Oreius resolutely chose to leave.

They shouldn't have stayed in this era. The two wills fought against each other, and in the end, Oreius's idea had a slight advantage.

The darkness above them completely dissipated, and a vast and majestic gaze came from afar, dividing the world into countless lines with just one glance. A strong repulsion squeezed the two of them, and the hissing and shouting of insects gradually faded away. Christine reached out to them, his face full of surprise. The blond knight opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

Just as he was about to touch the red-haired youth, Oreius and the Queen of Insects disappeared completely.

......

After a bloody battle, Xinye City was filled with a post-war murderous atmosphere.

The soldiers picked up spoils, dealt with the bodies of their comrades, cleaned the city walls, and repaired them. Everyone was in a hurry and busy.

Christine hurriedly walked through the temple, not paying any attention to the people who were paying their respects, and shouted anxiously, "Andy, I have something to talk to you about!"

Just now, they were fighting, and Aurelius and the Queen of Insects suddenly disappeared. Christine was confused: Where are my companions and opponents? Where are such big companions and opponents?

Despite this, he still helped others clean up the insect disaster as soon as possible, preserving the greatest fighting force of New Leaf City. After waiting for a long time and not seeing them come back, Christine finally became anxious and turned to find the strongest prophet of the time.

"What are you arguing about? This is a temple."

A calm voice answered him. When he saw the Pope's appearance, Christine stopped walking subconsciously: "Andy...? What's wrong with your eyes?"

"Don't be surprised, it's just that one eye is blind."

The white-haired young man looked up at his position, his eyes covered with a layer of white cloth. Christine swallowed his questions and asked worriedly, "Is the price of using the gift so high?"

"It was not a gift that caused the injury."

Andy said calmly, the scene at that time reappearing in front of his eyes.

Using the leaves of the World Tree as a medium, one can glimpse the direction of the River of Destiny.

By offering a [Eye of God], you will have the opportunity to talk to the gods.

With the help of the bond and blood between the two, and the assistance of the first two, he can see the other person's true past.

As the most powerful astrologer of the time, no one knows these procedures better than Andy. But when he wanted to dig out his eyes, an illusory force held down his hands.

The goddess's cold voice rang in Andy's ears: "Even if you offer me these eyes, I cannot give you the possibility of seeing the future."

[Eyes of God] are rare in the world, and if all are used, it can even attract the goddess of fate to descend. Why can't I see Oreius' past even so?

Andy's heart sank immediately: "...Will he bring us any trouble?"

The goddess of fate did not answer, her black dress fluttering. After a long time, Andy heard the other party sigh.

"Maybe, maybe not. But in order for that to happen, I need you to do something."

"You already know the source of the dawn insect disaster. Because of the changes He brought, the past has been altered to a certain extent. I want you to protect the insects that have not yet become Him and keep them alive until that time. This way, they can be in harmony with their destiny."

Andy lowered his eyelids: "...As you wish."

The goddess' words were tantamount to admitting that she was from the future, which made Andy even more worried. He knew that fate was like flowing water and could not be reversed.

The world only knows that astrologers can predict the future, and what they see will definitely come true. Only they know how sad this is. People in the past know the future, and once they act, the consequences will be even more terrible.

The Pope finally asked: "Will everything we do work, Your Majesty?"

“It costs you an eye.”

"I do."

Andy felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and his right eye became completely blind. The goddess pushed him out of this area and answered softly.

"Remember your mission. It is the future you cannot see, where humanity still holds on to hope."

Hearing Christine's worried voice, Andy came to his senses and reached out to touch the white cloth on his eyes.

"Don't worry, he will definitely live longer than you."

"...Hello!!"

"Don't speak loudly to me, I mean it. If there's anything else you want to know..."

The white-haired pope smiled slightly and said, "You have to do me a favor."
