The True Kingdom of God
The well-trained bloodline was only stunned for a moment, and then quickly began to counterattack. A moment later, the news of Sevitch's death reached the ears of the Western family. The three heads of the family frowned and held another small meeting.
"Why did Sevich die suddenly?"
As the strongest of the younger generation of the Brainworm Family, Sevich has participated in the Western Command more than once. The three family heads are familiar with him.
The reporter bowed his head deeply. "According to the medical bloodline, the cause of death of Lord Severic was contamination."
"Where are the other family heads now?"
"They are defending everywhere."
There were many family heads who came from Partington this time, and they were distributed along the entire western defense line. As locals, the western families got the news of the return of the Black Mist Team first, and the family heads contacted them, forcing the other family heads to stay in the areas they were responsible for.
The Shasha family head thought for a moment and said, "Call the Eyes."
After a while, a blindfolded man in black came into the room and bowed to them.
"Who was the last person to see Severitch?"
"It was Aurelius. He had nothing to do with Servitch's death. He was on the verge of madness."
"As long as it's not caused by human error, how is the matter I asked you to investigate going?"
"Partington was attacked, the head of the Brainworm family is dead, the president of the parliament is missing, and the church is sending priests to Partington and other places. If they really take advantage of the chaos to gain a foothold, they will most likely become a threat to the association in the future."
"We don't care about what happens in other regions. We monitor the church's actions and don't let them get involved in the West."
The head of the Shasha family hesitated for a moment and said, "No matter what, Sevich was the highly anticipated brain worm bloodline. We need to give an explanation for his death. Let Duke Maidan do it."
Patriarch Ferdinand nodded: "I will tell him."
Later, Mason was summoned to the reception room again.
The atmosphere this time was more formal. Only the head of the Shasha family was present, and he tactfully warned Mason not to do anything unnecessary.
Mason was well prepared when he used Canaan, and his performance in the conversation was seamless. The head of the Shasha family looked at him deeply and didn't say much.
After this series of events was over, Mason also received the news of Sevitch's death.
To be honest, he was not familiar with this bloodline member, and they were even once enemies.
But when he heard the news of his partner's death, Mason still felt complicated emotions.
Be careful with your fate.
The young man silently repeated these words in his heart and looked up.
In the Land of Stars, the Heart of the Goddess of Destiny floats in the center of the square, connected to the circular building. The dilapidated building glows faintly under its nourishment, like a huge monster that is reviving.
All along, the Twelve Gods have appeared in front of Mason as helpers, so he has never doubted the true intentions of the Goddess of Fortune, but Sevitch told him to be careful of "Fate".
What does he know, what do the twelve family heads know, and what does the chairman of the parliament symbolize?
Twelve, twelve...
In a flash, the young man's eyes widened suddenly. An idea flashed through his mind, and he wanted to catch the family heads and ask them about it, but he had to suppress his eagerness for the time being.
The World Tree towers high into the clouds, half lush and green, half bloody and hideous. The twisted branches and leaves look more like a living thing with its skin peeled off than a plant, and you can vaguely see the blood vessels beating beneath the epidermis.
Hiding the other half, the flesh and blood half tree looked exactly like the roots of the bloody sun that were inserted into Sevitch's eyes. Mason looked at it and suddenly noticed something different.
The two halves of the World Tree were originally equal, like twins. Now, the flesh and blood half of the tree had somehow crossed the original boundary and spread to the other side, about half the length of a palm.
The subtle influence of this was not obvious, so Mason only discovered the abnormality now.
The World Tree is the creator of the real world and reflects the situation in the real world. Mason once saw the World Tree before the Black Mist with the help of Canaan. At that time, the giant tree was still full of green branches and leaves.
"In other words, the flesh and blood half of the body corresponds to the pollution of this world?"
Thinking of what the Monster Lord had said before, Mason had a vague guess in his heart.
He mobilized his spiritual power and tried to penetrate the World Tree. This was the first time he took the initiative to explore the inner situation of the World Tree. Perhaps because he was chosen, the World Tree gently accepted his spiritual power.
Everything in front of me was cut into lines, and the world tree contained a torrent of colors, symbolizing the trajectory of destiny. Compared to before, the road that symbolized the power of profiteers has turned gray, and a road belonging to mechanics has appeared instead. Other roads have grown to varying degrees.
Mason took a quick glance and continued on his way to his destination. He came here today to verify his own ideas. The vast river of destiny washed over his consciousness, trying to assimilate it into a part.
Floating downstream, countless broken lights and shadows flicker under your feet, reflecting fragments of the past and the future.
Down, down, down.
Break through the obstacles and go all the way down.
An unknown amount of time had passed, but just when Mason's mental strength was about to run out, he finally broke through a thin layer of obstacles, and the scene in front of him suddenly became clear.
This space was vast and boundless, without any living creatures, just pure nothingness. It was as if someone had dug out a piece of it with a spoon and put it away, so clean that it was unbelievable.
Mason looked up. There was nothing in the dark sky, only huge tree roots that pierced through the space from high above and penetrated deeply into the nothingness.
He always felt that there should be something more here, such as twelve glowing spheres, which were the reflection of the kingdom of the twelve gods; or wandering strange creatures, mist flowing in the air, and uncomfortable blasphemous breath. Yes, he had been here before.
This is the root of the World Tree, which once sealed the evil side of the world. But it was only once.
The Lord of Monsters must have taken away everything here after escaping, leaving only a hole under the roots of the World Tree.
Mason noticed that half of the roots had turned into pulsating flesh and blood, covered with tumors like heart-shaped flesh. They absorbed wisps of black mist from the void to put into reincarnation. The other half of the roots still maintained their normal posture, forming a sharp contrast with them.
From a certain perspective, it is not wrong to call it the [Contaminated World Tree]. The reason why the Monster Lord was able to stuff Mason's soul in must be that he left a secret door in this way. The most likely possibility is that these trees have mutated.
If the Monster Lord succeeds, will the World Tree be completely transformed into flesh and blood? What will the world look like then?
Mason didn't dare to think about it, nor did he want to think about it.
......
"The monster is coming again!"
"Don't worry, the Bloodline Master is here!"
"Make way for the city defense artillery!"
“…”
Noisy shouting is the common background music in the Dark Border. Death, killing and blood have long been integrated into everyone's life.
With the monsters invading again, everyone started a new round of battle. Many battles have made them familiar with the battlefield, not to mention that compared to before, they now have powerful external aid.
Respectful eyes were cast towards the people standing on the battlefield. Every bloodline person could be said to be able to fight ten people at once, but there were always some who overwhelmed the whole field with their absolute presence. As long as they stood on the battlefield, they were a symbol of victory.
The woman with the purple and pink ponytail stood on the wall, and the machine beside her automatically aimed at the place where the monsters were most concentrated and fired. The priest walked through the war, bringing light and healing wherever he went.
The red-haired youth had the sharpest sword, easily piercing through the monsters' camp. They were powerful and fearless, which greatly enhanced the courage of the Border Bloods and helped them repel the monsters' attacks again and again.
Santo took the opportunity to lead the priests to settle in the west. The three major families attacked openly and secretly, which made the development of the church difficult.
Fortunately, Canaan treated a large number of wounded and won the respect of many Westerners with his outstanding performance, which gave the church some breathing space. After a lot of struggle, the church finally stood firm after paying a certain price. Santona was full of joy for a few days, and it was obvious that he had achieved good results.
About half a month later, the Black Mist Squad's investigation was completed and the members were able to return to their original teams.
Mason also wore a vest and followed Dan and others back to the area where the Luo family was responsible for supporting.
The changes in Partington forced some family heads to leave early, including Ron, the head of the Luo family. Mason wanted to use Oleus to ask him about the truth about the Twelve Round Table Families, but he had to give up regretfully.
The Monster Lord has been very honest during this period and has not taken the opportunity to do anything.
The [Lord of All Things] is obviously weaker than the [Lord of Monsters], but he is strong enough to arouse the latter's jealousy. Before the latter is completely sure, he is still safe in the human realm.
In other words, once the [Monster Lord] decides to attack humans, there will be no escape for him.
Mason will definitely not sit and wait for death. He must find a way to accumulate enough strength before that to fight against the increasingly powerful Monster Lord. Canaan, who is on the same path as the Lord of All Things and All Powers, is a good choice. Before that, he must let Canaan complete the path of God and ascend to the throne of God.
The three stages of becoming a god.
First, leave your name in people’s hearts and trigger the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Second, leave your mark on the world and undergo the [Flawless Crowning].
Third, leave your own mark in destiny, bear the seal of recognition from the twelve true gods, leave your name on the World Tree, and ascend to the throne of godhood.
The first two steps are easy to understand. The first is to gain recognition from a large number of humans. Canaan's blessing comes with it. The second is to gain achievements that can shake the world. After hunting down the ancient alien god [Qinglanzhimu], Canaan successfully completed the [Flawless Coronation].
But what does the third stage of "leaving yourself in destiny" mean?
Mason really wanted to go back and see Nasir again and ask him what to do. Unfortunately, the opportunity to travel back was too unstable, so he could only think hard on his own.
"Canaan now has the marks of nine gods, and he still lacks the marks of the goddess of nature, the god of the sea, and the god of medicine. According to previous experience, there must be another chance to go back to the past and collect all the marks."
"Come to think of it, I haven't tested Canaan's abilities after he completes the [Flawless Coronation] yet."
Mason thought about it, and the silver-haired saint came outside the city wall.
Here, like other cities, after more than a month of fighting, the land outside the city had long been soaked in blood and turned dark brown. From time to time, one could see the corpses of monsters that had not yet been processed, mixed with scattered broken weapons.
The energy-condensed flower vines formed a platform in the air, just enough for the young man to stand on. He flew out for a while and found a place where monsters lived.
The frightened monsters rioted and roared at the invaders. The silver-haired young man looked indifferent, and his prayers echoed in the vast wasteland, causing earth-shaking changes.
"Wherever He goes, there is heaven. There are rivers of milk and honey flowing, and everyone is pious and good."
The power of purification spread in all directions, forming a second dazzling sun in the empty city. The blazing light drove away the black mist, and the flying monster melted completely as it fell, just like Ikaros approaching the sun.
"The guilty, the lost, the hopeless, the irrecoverable, the powerless."
"Please listen to this prophecy."
The lush flowers with thirty-two petals blossomed, spreading a sweet and fragrant aroma. Beautiful songs of praise echoed in the air, cleansing all impure souls.
"Everywhere you step is the kingdom of heaven. Those who bow down here will find peace and rest; those who follow this man will hear the gospel."
As the last sentence fell, the silver-haired young man exploded with amazing power, clearing all the monsters within sight. This was not the end. After a few seconds, the [Heaven] domain expanded further, covering every inch of land within a few hundred meters.
Bright and brilliant, noble and flawless.
Anyone who steps into this realm will be saved, and everyone is his believer. More and more monsters are attracted by the light and rush here. After touching the realm, their eyes become dull, and they rush to kowtow to the young man in the center, and then turn into ashes and fly away.
The silver-haired saint watched them bow, salute, and die motionlessly.
The more monsters you absorb, the larger your territory will be and the stronger your abilities will be.
The clean energy turns into a gurgling river that runs through the realm, and then evolves into a beautiful sacred place that makes people yearn for it. Butterflies flutter, flowers sway, and the figure bathed in light cannot be looked at directly, but anyone who kisses the ground under its feet will be blessed.
How glorious, how holy.
After experiencing the [Flawless Coronation], [Heaven] became the true [Kingdom of God].
