The violent explosion brought up a huge amount of dust and sand, and the smoke and dust gathered into dark clouds in the sky.
It was the afternoon when the sun was at its brightest, but the mushroom cloud formed by the huge amount of smoke and dust obscured the sky, making the whole of Camelot dim and gloomy, just like night.
It is very similar to the "Nuclear Winter" speculated and imagined by countless scholars in Char's previous life.
And under the night, on the land of Camelot.
The blood-colored lines were slowly spreading along the huge black body.
The ruby-like crystals, with the burning magic furnace as the origin, continuously corroded the undead metal, staining the entire body of the Black Knight with a strange bloody smell.
The magic core appears to be only the size of a fist and can be embedded in the chest, but it contains distorted spatial cracks.
Associated with the other secondary dimension.
…
...
...
In the secondary dimension brought by the magic furnace core.
The vermilion halo slowly diffused over the star cup, carrying with it ripples of divine thoughts.
"I was not completely annihilated, but still retained complete consciousness?"
"I survived the golden elf's finger?"
Zhu Yue's mind fluctuated violently, with a hint of disbelief.
As an ancient god who has survived from the First Age to the present day, no one, no god, understands the value of "God's Destruction Finger" better than Him.
It is a skill that transcends all concepts such as divine arts, supernatural powers, and authority, and it itself represents the connotation of the word "destruction".
"It seems that the dimensional exile for several epochs has also made the golden elf's strength much weaker than before."
"Otherwise, that finger would not simply destroy my divine power and kingdom in the astral realm and make me fall from the astral realm to the main material plane."
His mind moved slightly, exploring the surrounding environment.
Zhu Yue's thoughts became active again.
He could feel that he was in a secondary dimension created by humans.
He could even clearly feel that the mental power and soul of the master of this secondary dimension were lingering in this secondary dimension, extremely close to him, and could initiate an erosion at any time.
That mental power was very powerful and special, but Vermillion Moon could sense that its essence was only at the six-ring title level, not legendary.
Although He has lost all the divine power and body in the astral realm at this moment, His divinity and authority are still there.
Relying on his essence as a true god, he might have some difficulty facing the mental power of a legendary strong man, but it would be easy to corrode and corrupt a six-ring.
This was simply a physical body that was delivered right to His doorstep, allowing Him to make a comeback.
"I guess he was a fool who couldn't stand the temptation of swallowing the Star Cup and wanted to take it for himself."
"What a pity... you haven't even reached the legendary level. Even if the opportunity to become a god is in front of you, you will only end up being someone else's wedding dress."
"Your body is mine."
Without the slightest hesitation, the Vermilion Moon was about to activate her status as a true god to infect the body of the man who was eyeing the Star Grail, transforming him into her own follower and blood servant.
Just like those blood princes he had corrupted, and those legendary Knights of the Round Table.
However, this thought just flashed through Zhu Yue's mind.
The next moment.
Zhu Yue's mind suddenly trembled slightly.
He felt a vast and majestic mystery erupting behind him.
Different from previous nuclear explosions.
If the previous explosion was just an explosion of pure energy.
Then, at this moment, what is born behind Him is the real star.
It is not a disorderly collapse that is uncontrolled and unrestrained and can only be released within a moment.
Pitch-black rings spread out, fixing the huge shape within them.
Don't pursue a momentary burst of energy.
But it is the real sun that burns for a long time.
The next moment.
Zhu Yue felt a huge attraction pulling her towards the vast and magnificent mysterious source.
After a few breaths.
The huge sun, carrying endless light and heat, engulfed the blood-colored star cup.
All the mysteries, authority and divinity that once belonged to the ancient god "Vermilion Moon".
They are all transformed into the purest fuel in the eternally burning star, supplying the star's combustion in the star's core.
And all concepts about this ancient god that was born from the abyss at the beginning of the first era.
From then on, it officially became a thing of the past.
…
The blood-colored crystals that were constantly corroding and spreading around the Black Knight Mech suddenly stopped for a moment.
The next moment, all the blood-colored crystals dimmed at the same time and then shattered.
Almost at the same time, the blood-red light in the magic furnace of the Black Knight Mech was suddenly replaced by bright white light.
The engine roared and the flames burst out.
The flames pierced through the smoke and radiation clouds left by the nuclear explosion, illuminating the dim and yellow sky above Camelot.
Char stretched out his hand slightly, and the dark undead metal turned into a dagger inside the mecha cabin.
Char grasped the dagger and cut his little finger.
Feeling the wound that did not heal as quickly as before, but was bleeding red, and the bleeding only stopped after the application of healing potion, Xia couldn't help but smile slightly.
"It seems that I can say goodbye to Zhu Yue once and for all."
Based on the principle of "spirit fission and fusion", Char conceived two sets of mechanical structures a long time ago.
Moreover, he and Su Lun have invested a lot of effort, resources and money into it since a few years ago.
Finally, those grand ideas and blueprints have finally become reality at this moment.
The first was the "Tsar Bomb" that he used to make the entire Camelot suffer in the beginning. In the words of his previous life, it was a "hydrogen bomb" or a "nuclear explosion."
He gave up all restraint and control and only pursued the greatest destructive power. With just this one strike, Zhu Yue's kingdom of God and the entire Camelot were destroyed, and it also provided an opportunity for his master to take action in the star realm.
The second is the core of the Black Knight's body at this moment, which is emitting scorching star flames, supplying tremendous magic power to the entire body, and is the magic furnace that powers the mecha.
Char named this new core, which was far superior to the traditional steam magic core, the "Pseudo-Stellar Solar Core".
It corresponds to the principle of star operation, or to put it more bluntly, the so-called "controlled fusion".
The most difficult thing about the true God is his immortality.
Even if it falls, as long as its divinity remains, it will be able to return from the depths of the star realm in the distant future.
But, at this moment.
After being swallowed by the solar furnace that simulates the movement of stars and turned into fuel in the core of the star.
The former "Scarlet Moon" is no longer the so-called "fallen", but has been erased from the multiverse at the conceptual level.
[Congratulations on reaching the title upgrade conditions]
[Your title "Blasphemer (Purple)" has been upgraded to "God Slayer (Gold)"]
【God Slayer (Abyss)】
[Rarity: Gold (not upgradeable)]
[Title owner: Xia.Egut]
[It is not a blasphemy, nor is it a simple defeat. ]
[You once truly killed the concept of an ancient god in the world.]
[Title attribute 1: After wearing the title, you and your pet will cause 500% special attack damage to enemies with divine nature.]
[Title attribute 2: After wearing the title, you will be regarded as the greatest enemy by the true gods, mythical creatures, cult leaders, fanatics, etc. of the Abyss Camp. ]
[Note: In the history of the Western Continent, those who defeated the incarnation of gods and blasphemed gods were rare, but they still existed. ]
[But since the complete demise of the Second Age of Gods, until the end of the Third Age of Gods, you have been the only one who has killed gods.]
[This is the supreme military honor of the creatures of order, and also a deep wound engraved on the stone tablet of the abyss. This hatred will not fade with time and will not end until death.]
…
"Finally, it's done."
Char's gaze lingered on the golden title of God Slayer and the words "500% Divine Special Attack" on the attribute panel.
As the power of the furnace core suddenly surged, the entire Black Knight body made of the undead metal "Dragon Snake Mercury" was trembling slightly, trying to vent the overflowing magic power.
Then, Xia slowly locked his mental power onto the lonely throne.
To be more precise, it was above the slender figure holding the holy sword.
"Only in this way can I have the qualifications to stand in front of you."
"Your Highness."
Char couldn't help but smile and replaced the title of "God Slayer".
From the beginning to the end, whether it was Augustina, Silvia or my own master who gave me hints.
Or perhaps it was Char's own perception that was telling him a truth very clearly.
That is, compared to the cowardly ancient god Zhu Yue, who was severely disabled at the end of the First Era, has not recovered until now, and has no intention of fighting to the death at all.
The Scarlet Queen in front of him was the opponent that needed more attention and was more difficult to deal with.
After wandering in the world for nearly a thousand years, Isadella's strength and status can no longer be measured by a simple throne.
Not only does she hold the holy sword, but as the owner of the fantasy belt, she can gain huge bonuses every moment she is here.
In this fantasy zone, neither Augustina nor Sylvia is her match, and even just delaying her requires all her strength.
Char, riding the first generation of Black Knight, might be able to fight against ordinary legends, but facing Isadela who was going all out and attacking in rage, he might not be able to withstand even a single blow.
Only at this moment, with the superposition of the 500% special attack of "God Slayer" and the Star Grail turned into fuel, which increased the output of the body several times, did Char have the qualifications to stand in front of the King of the Fantasy Belt.
But it's just a qualification.
With the fall of the Vermillion Moon, Char also lost his so-called immortality.
In front of an angry throne, a random mistake could be enough to cost him his life.
But, even so.
There was no hesitation in Char's actions.
He just walked step by step towards the top floor of the ruined palace.
The mecha made a clanging sound and trampled huge depressions on the ground where the metal lava had not yet cooled down.
Finally, he stood outside the door between the thrones.
Then, Char pointed the inky black sword in the mecha's hand diagonally at the silent girl in front of him.
When the mental power was extended, what was fed back was a completely opposite, cold concept.
She is not the second princess who was born into the royal family but vowed to eliminate the rebels and make the Foresta Empire great again.
He is not the knight king who is so majestic on the battlefield but unexpectedly compassionate off the battlefield, and is admired and respected by thousands of people.
Just as Sylvia had guessed, standing in front of her was a strange figure whose face could no longer be seen clearly.
He is the king of the fantasy belt, high above, like a god.
so--
"king."
Char spoke softly.
"I'm here to ask you to die."
…
boom--
The golden sword light suddenly shone and penetrated the magnificent metal wall.
The throne, which was made of the hardest fine steel and was strong enough to withstand the full force of a title-level strong man, was now like tofu and was cut apart by the sharp sword light.
And this is just the aftermath.
As the target locked by the golden sword, the pitch-black machine was blown away from between the thrones in almost an instant, floating in the sky above the ashes and ruins.
There is no unnecessary dialogue.
The moment Char drew his sword, the battle broke out.
This may be the most glorious battle that has ever broken out on the entire land of Esgania.
Even the battle between Vortigern and the Knight King not long ago to replace the new king was far from comparable.
If someone were to look at the battle from the ground, then this decisive battle would be nothing more than bursts of thunder in the sky, with lightning made of steel flashing continuously and illuminating the gaps between the dark clouds.
It was like the first generation of ancient dragons from the first era shuttling between the dark clouds, spewing lightning. It was just a pity that in this fantasy zone independent of history, the last two viewers had left not long ago.
Even the mythical creatures above the star realm can only peek into the fantasy belt that is bursting with brilliant light and strange movements through the long river of time, but it is difficult to see the full picture of the interior of the fantasy belt.
On one side is the King of the Fantasy Belt holding a holy sword, and on the other side, at the cost of burning a complete star cup of a true God, he gained power that did not belong to his current status and exceeded his limit in a short period of time.
Every collision between the two resulted in the annihilation of countless magic powers and masses. The high-speed air flow cut through the radioactive smoke and dust that filled the entire sky above Esgania after the nuclear explosion. Sometimes it was extremely hot, and sometimes it was extremely cold.
There were several times when their battlefield was close to the ground, so the river of hot, not yet completely solidified lava was split, revealing a huge ravine running through the earth. Sometimes the collision was in the distant sky, so huge holes were drilled in the meta-layer covered with radioactive dust in the collision of the magnificent magic flow, but they were filled up by the incoming clouds after a few breaths.
The territory of Camelot was already too small for a throne and Char, who had temporarily stepped into the throne's territory.
Thus, their battlefield in the distant sky shifted from above Camelot to cover the entire territory of Esgania.
From the towns and villages around Camelot, to the small village on the border where Isadella once pulled out the sword from the stone to choose the king, to the former Cathedral of the Dawn which had been evacuated due to negotiations and was now desolate and empty.
Finally, their battlefield.
It landed in the Valley of the End, thousands of miles away from Camelot.
The thick dark clouds suddenly broke apart, and in the distant sky, two figures, one black and one gold, collided like meteors, and then bounced off again.
Char fell into the depths of the huge, very familiar canyon.
The pitch-black giant sword made of undead metal in his hand broke apart and turned into countless metal fragments smaller than a fingernail, which scattered around and turned into a pitch-black meteor shower under the gray sky.
Char barely managed to control the Black Knight's machine, allowing himself to jump out of the huge crater created by the impact of the landing.
But just this one action was enough to make him use all his strength and kneel on the ground.
All around him, the Black Knight's body, which had originally appeared in perfect shape, had countless huge broken gaps, and blood gushed out of it, spilling onto the ground.
As a machine made of the immortal metal "Dragon Snake Mercury", the Black Knight should have the ability to repair itself infinitely.
But at this moment, a faint golden glow lingered on the gaps, hindering the repair of the flowing undead metal.
The higher mystery held by the holy sword overwhelms the mystery of the immortal metal "Dragon Snake Mercury", so every slash of the holy sword leaves irreparable damage on the black knight's body.
Even the magic furnace core "Pseudo-Stellar Solar Furnace" that spewed out brilliant starlight now had several huge scratches on it. The light that was originally as bright as day also became much dimmer and could no longer produce its full power.
cough--
Xia coughed lightly and swallowed the bloody taste in his mouth, as well as the broken pieces of internal organs.
This is a natural outcome.
His true form was just a title-level Beast Tamer who hadn't even reached the level of Legend. Even though his mecha relied on controlled nuclear fusion technology as its power source, and with the brief blessing of the Burning Star Cup and special attack attributes, he was able to barely compete with the opponent.
But that is not Char's own power after all.
It's okay to bully weaklings, but when you really face an opponent who has taken great power for himself, it's only a matter of time before you're defeated by the power you've cobbled together and boosted by taking drugs.
The other side of the Valley of the End.
The lone figure enveloped in golden light slowly descended.
Isadella looked down indifferently at the damaged black mecha kneeling on the ground in front of her.
Through the gap in the mecha, one can vaguely see the thin figure in the red cloud, black robe and vortex mask.
In fact, the battle between them could last so long because the King of the Fantasy Belt let him win.
As for the reason for letting the water go, it was naturally because the figure in front of her was so similar to Cain in Isadella's memory.
only--
The tiny bit of expectation that surged in my heart eventually turned into cold reality.
Isadella's beautiful red eyes drooped, and a ripple that was difficult to conceal flashed across them.
"You...are not him."
"You are not Cain."
For the first time, those indifferent and cold words were filled with sadness and loss.
Although the young man in the mecha in front of him, whether it is the mecha he is driving, or the clothes, the subtle details of his appearance and body, and even his voice are very similar to Cain at the beginning.
It can't even be said to be similar, but it can be said to be exactly the same.
However, it only takes a brief encounter to know the stark difference between the two.
The back figure that was constantly recalled, beautified, and repeated in Isadela's thousands of years of longing was so heroic.
In the memory, when the two met for the first time, Cain fearlessly blocked the tide of monsters besieging the city.
In every battle thereafter, he always bravely led the charge, as if he never cared about his own injuries and safety.
He is the embodiment of the two virtues of "bravery" and "sacrifice" among the eight virtues of chivalry. In countless of the most dangerous and desperate situations, he inspired the demoralized coalition forces with the title of the King of Victory.
Afterwards, he single-handedly blocked several legends including half of Vortigern and the blood prince from entering the Valley of the End.
Even if it means death, it is worth it.
That heroic figure is what Isadela misses so much, and what she wants to find even if she has to build a fantasy belt.
But at this moment, Isadella could not detect any familiar memories from the other person.
He is cautious and he is cunning.
They never exchange injuries for injuries, but instead use the most despicable and insidious tactics to win the battle.
Even if they find an opportunity, they will not act rashly. Instead, they will carefully set traps and use tactics, trying to grasp the overall situation and think twice before acting.
This kind of fighting method is the exact opposite of the black knight Cain.
The young man in front of him was not the original Cain.
Since even the mind and character, the spirit and way of thinking, and the inner soul no longer exist...
Then even if the ability is similar to the physical body, it is meaningless.
Just as Merlin said, this was nothing more than using necromancy to defile Cain's body and soul.
The undead creatures created in this way, even though they have the same flesh and blood, are nothing more than a blasphemy to Cain.
However, in front of Isadela, she faced the questioning of the King of the Fantasy Belt.
Xia just nodded slightly.
"Yeah, I'm not Cain at all."
"That perfect, heroic Cain who was willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good and let the dawn illuminate the darkness, actually did not exist at all."
"The real me is just someone who likes to think twice before doing anything. To put it nicely, I am cautious. To put it bluntly, I am a cowardly person who is afraid of death."
"I have never been so righteous. Those serious words of justice are just my rhetoric to improve my popularity. In fact, I don't have the awareness of sacrificing my small self for the greater self."
Xia's words were calm, but without the slightest hesitation.
"Relying on the so-called immortal body, I created a perfect, brilliant and glorious leather suit."
"When the immortal body dissipates, the leather suit that cannot be seen in the light will naturally disappear in the sunlight, leaving no place to hide."
His face was pale and he spoke word by word.
"To put it bluntly, I'm just a despicable internet liar."
"He used things that did not belong to him to create a perfect internet idol persona, and then cheated the woman of her money and her feelings, causing her to do something stupid that was irreparable."
"Any person with a normal outlook on life would probably sneer at such online dating scammers."
Xia couldn't help but smile.
As he spoke, he controlled the Black Knight's body and slowly raised his sword.
"And now, I am going even further and want to destroy that woman's industry and her lifelong persistence and hard work."
"Now that I think about it, I am a bit like the so-called destiny villain."
Xia's eyes narrowed slightly.
In the center of the damaged Black Knight's body, the solar furnace that had originally dimmed began to roar again.
An extremely bright and hot white light burst out, which was much stronger than the original one.
The entire Black Knight's body was emitting a scarlet glow, it was extremely hot, and there were buzzing sounds everywhere, as if it would disintegrate at any time.
"overload"
This skill is activated at the cost of overdrawing the life of the magic core.
If the battle cannot be resolved within thirty seconds, the magic core and the Black Knight body will collapse and disintegrate on their own without the opponent even having to take action.
"In that case, let me do what a villain should do."
"king--"
Char held the reassembled jet-black giant sword and pointed it straight at the girl in front of him.
"Burning Blood" is activated.
All the remaining mental energy in Char's soul began to burn, transforming into pale blue flames around the Black Knight's machine.
"Take this sword, or be killed by me."
…
Leather case?
Online dating scammer?
Isadella repeated these unfamiliar words in her mind.
What the other party meant was that he used necromancy to usurp Cain's body and read the memory of his soul, which is why he is so similar to Cain?
But soon, feeling the huge momentum suddenly rising from the black mecha, Isadella's face couldn't help but slightly stern.
She could feel that this was the opponent's final blow.
In other words, it was a desperate attack that burned up all remaining mental energy and strength.
Faced with such a fatal blow, even she at this moment had to be cautious.
The golden sword was raised high, and tremendous power gathered on the sword edge.
The next moment.
She saw the mecha transformed into a pitch-black meteor, rushing towards her with unrivaled momentum.
After blocking the attack, he captured the other party and brought him back to the capital, asking him in detail how he had replicated Cain's body.
Although Camelot had been reduced to ruins and even Zhu Yue had fallen, Isadella did not care too much about it.
With the help of Zhu Yue's reference, she has reached the realm of gods with her own strength. Even if Zhu Yue is dead now, she herself can still live forever.
As long as she is still alive, the fantasy belt will continue to exist.
Camelot, or those phantoms of the past, can be recreated sooner or later.
Thinking of this, the holy sword in Isadela's hand burst out with a sharp light and slashed towards the oncoming black meteor.
After a breath.
Isadella suddenly realized that her hands were empty.
She saw the inky black "Immortal Metal" Dragon Snake Mercury disintegrate on its own, and the mecha whose defense gave her a headache dissipated on its own.
Inside the mecha, the thin figure in red cloud and black robe actually put down the giant metal sword in his hand.
Then, he gave up all resistance and took the initiative to face Isadella's holy sword that was powerful enough to pierce through pure gold.
Isadella's eyes suddenly narrowed, but it was too late.
Phew.
The sharp holy sword pierced through the thin body.
It penetrated the body and blossomed into a gorgeous blood flower in the desolate canyon.
Click.
The vortex mask also shattered with the slash, turning into scattered fragments.
The face of the young man with black hair and black eyes was revealed under the mask.
