"That is to say, the people of the Golden Dawn are using this black fog to deliver packages."
"And now, the express delivery happened to be intercepted by me at the transfer station?"
Xia's thoughts moved slightly, and he immediately understood his current situation.
The illusory prayer sound in my ears slowly dissipated.
In the end, there is only nothingness left.
And in the surging black fog, an illusory point of light slowly dissipated.
Then, it condenses into a definite and reliable entity.
It was a pale skull.
The skull was huge and hideous, appearing in the void in front of Char, occupying almost half of his vision.
...
...
This size and proportion is definitely not what an ordinary human or ordinary humanoid skeleton could have. Above the white skeleton, there are two twisted horns with a strange arc.
In the gaps between the teeth, you can vaguely see residual black embers, which reminds people of the owner chewing magma and swallowing flames when he was alive.
[The Immortal Head of the Nameless King]
[Category: Pollutants | Extraordinary Materials]
[Level: Eighth Level]
[Attributes: Fire | Darkness | Curse]
[Description: This is the skull of a former Flame Giant King. He was defeated in the war with the Lord of Ashes to seize the power of burning, and his head became the most glorious trophy of the Lord of Ashes.]
[Later, this skull was given by the Lord of Ashes to His believers, becoming the supreme holy object of the Ash Cult and the carrier of the Ash faith. Only the Pope of the Ash Cult can hold and touch it.]
[According to the rumors of the Ash Cult: When the empty eyes of the holy relic are ignited by the black flames again, the Lord of Ashes will return from ancient history and come to the world again. 】
[In order to complete a grand plan to subvert the Western Continent, this holy relic was sent out by the Pope of the Ash Cult, and then, it appeared in front of you. 】
"Oh, the Order of Ashes again?"
"Last time it was the left finger bone, this time it was directly replaced with the skull, right?"
Sitting on a golden recliner, Char looked at the white skull in front of him and the azure light that appeared in his mind, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
This is an old acquaintance.
And he’s the kind of boy who brings wealth.
I still remember when Char was very weak and hadn't even reached the third ring.
It was the thugs of the Ash Cult who raided Saint Laurent College, allowing him to obtain the contaminated left finger bone, which helped Yin complete the self-created skill "Amaterasu".
It also allowed Char to shine in the imperial capital for the first time, and caught the attention of the Second Princess, completing their first relationship.
Later, whether in the final battle of the historical echoes of the ancient country of Cang Ting or in the subsequent Borgia family dinner, Amaterasu can be said to have helped Char a lot.
If it weren't for the left finger bone of the sixth level as the source of fire support, "Amaterasu" would definitely not be able to exert such powerful power.
Of course, with the update and iteration of the version, the opponents that Char now encounters are either legends or demigods, and even the traces of true gods have been revealed...
"Amaterasu", which uses a sixth-level pollutant as the source of fire, does seem to be a little lacking in strength at the moment.
The little snow ferret was also turned into a warehouse keeper and could only come out occasionally to use Tsukuyomi to help with the reading.
But now, it's different...
"Come to think of it, did I put the blame for killing the half of Dusk on the Cult of Ashes, which led to the Cult of Dusk being hunted down by them for hundreds of years?"
“I hope God is okay.”
Char sincerely blessed the Lord of Ashes in his heart.
In fact, adhering to the concept of sustainable development, he had no intention of catching such an evil god and constantly fleecing him.
After all, she was not only sending him pollutants, but also acting as a matchmaker between him and Isadella, which wasn't easy.
But since the great pope of the evil cult had come to his door, it would be too rude to refuse him.
As he thought about it, Xia's mind moved slightly.
The next moment, a faint silver light shone above the black fog.
The little snow ferret appeared in Char's arms. At first, it was a little lazy, and lingered in Char's arms for a long time before opening its eyes that were as clear and bright as rubies.
Because the flow of time in the fragments of the fantasy belt is different from that in the main material plane, and the long river of time is distorted and chaotic, and has been running wild.
Char relies on the super high affinity for time and space brought by the Sands of Time, and Airola relies on the contract of the Holy Spear, so they can survive in the turbulence of time without being affected...but Silver and Gilgamesh are different.
Because the soul is not adaptable to the distorted space-time - over the years, except that Yui herself is a mechanical life form, there is no such thing as soul and adaptability. Silver and Red spend most of their time in a long sleep in the Soul Contract Space, and only wake up briefly when they occasionally break through.
Now, as the turbulence of time and space begins to fade and the long river of history becomes stable again, Silver and the others are also beginning to adapt gradually, but they are still quite sleepy.
But the next moment——
As Silver sensed the aura of the white skull in front of Char, the little snow ferret's ruby-like eyes suddenly widened.
"Mmm~ (Master, is this for me?)"
While Yin was acting like a crying monster, his big furry white tail had already wrapped around Char's neck affectionately.
The little ferret felt tears welling up in his heart.
It’s been a long time, it’s been a long time!
Whether it's the exclusive pillow seat for the main pet in Char's arms, or the preferential treatment of being a biological daughter, it's been a long time since I've experienced these.
Originally, with Yui's joining, Gin could clearly feel the strength of this newbie.
There is no way. Whether it is the mecha Black Knight, or the space-based kinetic weapons and nuclear explosions, they are all too cheating.
In a frontal battle, there is no room for Yin to perform and he can only serve as an auxiliary on the sidelines.
But now it seems that the master is worthy of being the master.
Although he doesn’t say it explicitly on a daily basis, he actually still has his mind set on owning any good things!
Yin could clearly sense that the white skull in front of him was of the same origin as his own Amaterasu's fire.
So, isn't this a coincidence?
Just when I said I wanted to upgrade to a new version and become the tear of the times, an enhancement patch came out in the blink of an eye.
What does it mean to be Char's only designated favorite, the number one daughter in the world?
It turns out that childhood sweethearts are the eternal version of the answer!
It looked at the white skull with burning eyes.
"Look, it's urgent again."
Char also stroked the little ferret for the first time in a long time and put the furry white tail on his shoulder.
Although Gin has been sleeping most of the time in the past ten years, because of the soul connection with Char, as Char's mental power improves, Gin can also get feedback.
To put it more bluntly, the level was broken while sleeping.
"With your current status, it's a bit difficult for you to directly contain the eighth-level pollutants."
Char spoke softly.
The seventh level is legendary.
The eighth level is naturally the level of the throne and demigod.
Of course, the eighth-order pollutant does not mean that it directly possesses the combat power of a demigod, but it means that some of its attributes have reached the status of a demigod.
"After all, it is the supreme holy relic used by the entire Ash Cult to store faith. It contains the power of faith accumulated by the entire Ash Cult over thousands of years."
"It contains enough power to attract the Lord of Ashes. If you don't deal with it and force it to be contained, it will most likely disrupt your soul and turn you into a little fire marten that only knows how to breathe fire."
Char touched Silver's head and calmed the little snow ferret's agitated mood.
“I understand.”
"Mmmmm, Mmm~ (Master, I really want to improve.)"
Silver wagged his tail and obediently softened again in Char's arms.
It just slept too long and was a little confused.
Now that he had regained consciousness and felt the mystery emanating from the skull of the Ash King, he naturally understood the pros and cons of it.
"Don't worry, dealing with this pollutant is not a difficult task for me now."
Char's gaze was also fixed on the skull with dots of black embers.
For most of the extraordinary people in the Western Continent, contact with the evil god's pollutants is no different from seeking death.
But only here in Char is there rich experience in dealing with pollutants.
Even if he said that no one in the entire Western Continent knew more about pollutants than him, no one might dare to respond.
Ever since he obtained the pollutants of the Old God of Dusk from Anlina, Char has come into contact with pollutants of various levels.
Compared to the time when he was still very weak, he had to be fully alert when facing even a trace of the evil god's breath, and he had to use a mithril box to seal up any pollutants -
At this moment, Char, having experienced ten years in the fragments of the Fantasy Belt, has already undergone tremendous changes.
If it was a complete Lord of Ashes, then it would be another matter, but if it was just an eighth-level pollutant—
So in front of the current Char, it really can't cause any big waves.
Char placed his hand on top of the white skull.
The next moment.
The eerie pale light on the "Immortal Skull of the Nameless King" suddenly dimmed.
Then, thousands of dark spots of embers quickly spread up from Char's palm and covered his entire body.
In an instant, thousands of twisted thoughts emerged in Char's soul.
One illusory scene after another slowly emerged in his mind.
In a place where flames are everywhere, the distorted high temperature burns the air to the point of distortion, and even the sky is shrouded in black flames, it is a purgatory-like plane of fire element.
A skinny fire elemental was born in the magma lake gushing out of a volcano.
It swam in the magma, becoming stronger little by little.
After accumulating enough power, a group of fire elemental creatures slowly gathered around it.
Slowly, it began to conquer other tribes in this elemental plane, then killed the leaders of other fire elemental tribes and devoured their elemental crystals.
Thousands of years have passed, and the weak fire element has become stronger and stronger through day-to-day conquests and devouring, and even its life level has undergone a transformation.
From Fire Elemental, to Fire Elemental Lord, to Hellfire King...
Until finally, he became the Flame Giant King and the ruler of the entire elemental plane.
Even under the guidance of the plane's laws, with the help of the plane's creatures' faith, he condensed his divinity, used burning as authority, and embarked on the path to becoming a god.
Later, He was no longer satisfied with just being the Emperor of an elemental plane, nor was He satisfied with the power of faith of a mere elemental plane.
Instead, he chose to step into the dimensional rift in pursuit of greater evolution.
However, just when He was about to achieve the status of true God.
In the gap between the dimensional void and the abyss, a sudden war between gods shattered all the ambitions and aspirations of the Giant King.
The throne and star cup, which had taken thousands of years to accumulate and were almost complete, became the wedding dress of the visitor from the abyss named "Ashes".
As a result, the Fire Elemental Plane, which had once submitted to Him, changed its beliefs and became one of the thousands of believers of the Lord of Ashes. "I want revenge, revenge!"
"Revenge on the Ashes, revenge on the plane that betrayed me."
"Kill all the followers of Ashes, make that shameful thief fall from the throne, and let the entire abyss burn in my wrath!"
In an instant.
Madness, despair, degradation, anger and many other negative emotions suddenly flooded into Char's heart along with the muttering.
It was an extremely violent rage that seemed to burn everything to ashes, and it was mixed with the ancient language of giants from the ancient times.
If we want to translate it, it would be something like "Suddenly there is a madman sharpening his knife at night, the imperial star is swaying and Mars is high in the sky!".
Also flooding into Char's mind were the countless memories of the owner of the white skull, the former King of Ashes.
Those were all the memories of a plane lord who was just one step away from entering the realm of true God, spanning thousands of years.
In front of the vast ocean of memory, human memory of only tens or hundreds of years is just a drop in the ocean and can be easily washed away.
"I've always heard that true gods remain alive even after death. Now it seems that this is really the case."
"Even the gods who fell several epochs ago made backup plans for themselves on their remains."
"If I had never entered the Garden of Eden... then I might have been overwhelmed by these memories that did not belong to me, and become a vassal of your memories."
Feeling the torrent of memory fragments washing over his soul, Char couldn't help but shake his head.
If his self was really submerged in the other party's thousands of years of memory, then he would no longer be Char, but a monarch of the Fire Elemental Plane who possessed Char's memories, allowing the deceased ancient god to be reborn in another way.
"pity--"
Char smiled slightly and put on his golden title of "God Slayer".
"This level of corruption and erosion is nothing compared to what my wife and my princess have experienced."
The next moment.
In his spiritual ocean, hundreds of dim stars of time sand roared.
The bright stars shine against the dark background of the spiritual ocean.
It's like all the stars are shining in the sea of stars at the same time.
The chaotic and twisted crazy muttering, along with countless fragments of memory, disappeared in the light of the shining stars.
The dark embers on Char's skin slowly faded away.
"You have already lost. You lost after the war between gods thousands of years ago."
"With your current strength, you are not qualified to usurp my body, let alone seek revenge on the Lord of Ashes."
"But I can give you a chance."
"A chance to exact revenge on the abyssal thief who usurped your throne and bewitched your followers."
Char's spirit body stood in the spiritual ocean with thousands of twinkling stars, and slowly spoke towards the empty and lonely depths.
"I know that this skull is your trump card that you have placed great hopes on for your resurrection. You must have a backup plan that the Lord of Ashes does not know about."
"For example, a backdoor that can tamper with the power of faith stored in this holy relic without being detected by the main body on the Ashes Main Star Realm."
"Leave this backhand to me."
Char's voice was flat.
"In exchange, I can promise you—"
"If I have the chance, I will send the Lord of Ashes down to keep you company."
"You should know clearly that what I said is not false."
As Char's words came out.
The originally crazy and ferocious muttering, along with the black embers and those chaotic memory fragments, slowly fell silent.
That was the consciousness of the skull's owner, the Flame Giant King, which remained within his own remains.
The brief confrontation in Char's spiritual ocean just now had already shocked the giant king who was once one step away from the throne of God.
He clearly looks like a mere human being, and has never even set foot in the divine realm or on the path to becoming a god.
But the opponent's spirit is far more resilient than some of the demigods that the Giant King has faced before.
With the remaining strength that had been worn out for thousands of years, he could not do anything to the opponent's soul, let alone usurp the body and be reborn in a shell.
And more importantly -
From Char's body, the former Giant King clearly sensed the inexplicable breath that made him feel extremely palpitating and almost suffocated.
That is the mark left after killing the gods.
For any mythical creature that chooses the path to godhood and sets foot in the divine realm, this mark represents undying hatred and the absolute fear that comes from its natural enemy.
The exchange conditions mentioned by the other party are not false.
This horrible human being...it seemed like he had actually killed an ancient god.
After a long time, the ancient sound, like flames burning firewood, slowly sounded in Xia's spiritual ocean.
"Since it is a promise made by a godslayer."
"Then I am willing to believe it."
The remaining soul of the Flame Giant King took a deep look at Char, whose face was calm.
The next moment, the crazy black flames gradually faded away, gathered, and faded.
In the end, it returned to nothingness.
And where the black flame was originally, an illusory hole slowly emerged.
That was the back door that the Flame Giant King left in his own skull. It could directly connect to the power of faith stored in the Lord of Ashes, bypass the Lord of Ashes' vigilance, and directly use the power of this holy relic for one's own benefit.
But at this moment, He opened this gap as a back door for others.
The price of opening the pore was that the last wisp of soul in the Giant King's skull dissipated.
This is not because the Giant King Evil Spirit has great faith in Char's character. The God Slayer is just a medal of honor for the feat of killing gods, and it has never been related to character... Even mythical creatures, even true gods are full of treacherous ones, otherwise the God of Deception would not exist.
Simply because this is the Giant King's only choice.
His remaining soul had been gradually worn away over thousands of years and was close to collapse. If Char had not taken the initiative to touch the skull and awaken him, his remaining soul would probably have returned to nothingness in a few hundred years.
However, as the number of his believers increased, the power of faith of his enemy, the Lord of Ashes, grew stronger and stronger, and the gap between them grew larger and larger.
In fact, the Giant King Canpo himself knew clearly that the so-called revenge was nothing but an illusory obsession of his from the very beginning.
Now that he saw that there was no hope of taking over the body, he might as well let the godslayer in front of him take over.
Anyway, the identity of the God Slayer destined Char and the Lord of Ashes to be enemies.
Even without considering whether Char could really perform the feat of killing gods again, the Giant King always hated the Lord of Ashes more.
It would be a good thing after all to make the faith accumulated by his followers in the Western Continent for thousands of years go to waste and disgust his enemies.
"That's quite interesting."
Seeing the Giant King's remaining soul disintegrate, Char couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
This skull was, after all, transformed by the Lord of Ashes to house the holy relic and vessel of the power of faith.
If it weren't for the help of the Giant King, the victim who was NT R in front of him, it would have been difficult for him to tamper with the skull quietly without being discovered by the Lord of Ashes himself.
Char stroked the little ferret on his shoulder.
"The skull itself is no longer dangerous. Start absorbing the power of the black flame."
Silver shook his big furry tail and his ruby eyes opened.
Three blood-red magatama quietly emerged from Gin's eyes and began to rotate slowly.
And above the ferocious white skull, wisps of dark and ownerless black flames emerged along with the guidance of Yin.
Then, it was absorbed by the three magatama in the little snow ferret's eyes, completing its "Amaterasu" fire.
And Xia's thoughts also moved slightly.
His consciousness followed the illusory hole left by the giant king's remnant soul in the spiritual ocean and entered the world inside the hole.
Inside the pores is a dark world.
A dark and deep flame became the center of this world of faith.
After being transformed by the Lord of Ashes, the skull of the Giant King became His supreme sacred object in the main material plane. It contained a trace of His divinity and a fragment of the kingdom of God that had been cut off.
And that dim flame is the spiritual consciousness left by the Lord of Ashes in this holy object.
Over the years, the Ash Cult has been walking around cities and towns like crazy, capturing sacrifices.
Then, pure, high-value souls are selected to perform a fire sacrifice to the Lord of Ashes.
The souls of those who were sacrificed by fire will eventually become the sacred objects of the Ash Cult.
Or to be more precise, it is within the fragments of the Kingdom of Ashes within this sacred skull relic.
As Char's spirit entered the kingdom of God, the divinity of the Lord of Ashes also suddenly rejoiced.
In the cognition of this divine consciousness, the newly entered star spirit body is naturally the sacrifice completed by the new fire sacrifice of His followers.
The black flame leaped and then spread out, about to devour Char's astral body and transform him into a member of the Kingdom of Ashes.
However, the next moment.
The black flame suddenly stopped in place in a daze.
The projection of the spirit of a living organism into the astral world is also called the astral body.
Along with the strength of the soul and the different nature of life, the strength of the astral body of different life forms also varies.
But under normal circumstances, the astral body is actually more like a manifestation of the subconscious of life and cannot be controlled subjectively at all.
Only legendary strongmen who have condensed their spiritual ocean can control the astral body to a certain extent. This is also the reason why legends can travel through the star realm.
But at this moment——
The black flame of the Lord of Ashes' consciousness had not yet had time to corrode and transform the soul of the person being sacrificed by fire according to the process.
But he found that a golden little man transformed from Xia Yaxing's spirit was already rushing towards him impatiently.
It can be said to be a pure two-way rush.
Something is wrong.
Even though the ash consciousness residing in the skull was incomplete and unable to think like a normal intelligent creature, it subconsciously sensed that something was wrong.
However, before Ashes' consciousness could react.
The next moment.
The little golden man transformed from Xia Yaxing's spirit body has already plunged into the black flames.
