Now that a formidable enemy is at hand, the old king can no longer deceive the new generation of heroes.
In fact, the legendary sword and the shield of hope have always remained in the Academy of Heroes. The weapons they wield are top-tier weapons forged by Emperor Mingwu after he unified the continent, using various divine artifacts.
But...it seems that it still can't compare to the legendary sword and shield of hope of the past.
How many people still remember him?
"No one in the royal family knows about it, and among the common people, only those in the border regions do."
“Trick him out, but if he can’t be used by me, kill him.”
"If he's willing to fight for me, then let him relinquish his status as a hero."
This era needs new heroes, not an aging, immortal hero.
In any case, the hero's fate was decided with just a few words from the royal family.
If it weren't for the youngest prince, the ninth prince, risking his life to warn the old warrior, he would have had no idea of the royal family's current plans against him.
"Sir? You already know, so why?"
"I...had no choice."
The old hero left the Ninth Prince all the protective artifacts he had acquired in his youth, for no particular reason.
Even though the Ninth Prince was also part of the royal family's plan, it didn't matter anymore, because he was tired, and the Ninth Prince was now the only royal family member willing to take the initiative to contact him and risk his life.
That's enough.
And that's the end of the memory of this dream.
Surprisingly, Bu Xiaosai's mind was still flashing back to these fragments, but he had no recollection of how the hero had defeated the demons or how the old hero had gone to the capital alone in the end.
It's as if... it was erased?
But when Bu Xiaosai tried to stand up, he found himself in a castle.
The legendary sword is right beside me, and directly in front of me, at the center of the castle gate, is the Shield of Hope!
What... is going on?
Is he still dreaming?
But when he saw a tombstone with words engraved on it, he was completely dumbfounded.
"My lifelong rival, the Demon King Kokoro!"
What?!
Could it be that the hero in the dream defeated the god of heartbreak back then?
Bu Xiaosai stared in astonishment at the distant tombstone. If... if that were really the case, could he find the power to deal with the demon within him?
But the next second, Bu Xiaosai found that he couldn't move at all; he was bound.
Squeak~
The door suddenly opened slowly at that moment.
A group of demon guerrillas rushed in, and upon seeing the dark figure on the throne, all the demons trembled in fear.
That...that was a human? A dead human?
"Oh no! What the hell is that? It's spreading! We can't stop it!"
Before these demons could close the gate, they were blasted to both sides by the torrent of energy outside, and that energy actually struck the hero who had been dead for who knows how long!
That is, the body that is currently possessing Bu Xiaosai!
"I, Emperor Mingwu, would rather be a demon in this world than accept defeat!!!"
As Bu Xiaosai heard the curse, he saw the hero who had long been dead suddenly stand up again, his bones were reassembling, and soon his eyes were glowing with a dark fire.
Sometime later, the armor had become firmly attached to the hero's body.
Meanwhile, the legendary sword beside them wailed! And in the distance, the shield of hope trembled!
Emperor Wu of Ming's curse... actually cursed all of humanity!
These demons were even more shocked. A hundred years ago, Emperor Mingwu gambled with the fate of humanity, turning the entire human race into a race of the dead, which was how he managed to protect the last 10% of the continent.
They never imagined that after a hundred years, there would still be human remains that were not cursed!
Oh no...this is really terrible!
Bu Xiaosai finally gained control of his body. He felt his whole body was full of power, and he could unleash the simplest attacks with every move, which were the most damaging and least forceful attacks.
This is... a skill unique to the hero!
"Run for your lives!!!"
The demons fled frantically, wanting to tell the demon lords of the Demon Court what had happened.
So... I possessed the body of a dead hero?
Am I not in China right now?
Bu Xiaosai looked at his body in silence.
But in the next second, the entire region suddenly seemed to freeze, and a slight split appeared.
"What happened?"
Suddenly a huge face popped out, startling Bu Xiaosai!
The entire scene quickly faded away, and at that moment Bu Xiaosai felt his own body, seemingly in a car?
He's conscious now, but what about the feeling he just had?
"Tch, I never expected the superpower I absorbed would be this kind of strength..."
The newly awakened God of Heartless looked at Bu Xiaosai with a gloomy expression and said.
What power? What...!
Bu Xiaosai looked at his current state in shock; he was still in that dejected state!
So... his original superpower was SSS-level—the power of fallen heroes!
