Chapter 546: The Emperor's Sorrow
Let's go back half a minute.
In the melee above the palace.
Even with the participation of the Red Dragon King Straz.
Even with the participation of the Dawn Wizard Peak Walkermas.
But many powerful men on the side of the empire are still retreating under the pressure of the seven incarnations of the gods. At this moment, the battle line has been pushed to the surface of the palace, and the gods have once again gained the upper hand.
However, suddenly, everyone present looked up at the dazzling white light and mushroom cloud in the air!
"That is..."
"That guy Rune is really unreliable." The goddess of the underworld, Hela, narrowed her beautiful eyes and said.
She could no longer sense Rune's breath.
Obviously, the opponent should have fallen in the previous attack.
However, the blasphemer is becoming more and more difficult to deal with. He is actually capable of launching this level of attack?
"This level of power, this is already a demigod level of energy fluctuations!" The evil god Greg, who is wearing golden armor and has multiple arms, said with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
He naturally also felt the disappearance of the breath of the hunting god Rune.
Even the Devouring Snake and the Red Dragon King, who were in a fierce melee, stopped fighting and looked up at the distant sky.
The Red Dragon King Straz's huge vertical pupils flashed with deep doubts and surprise.
As the Red Dragon King, Straz was naturally most familiar with the familiar mystical energy fluctuations.
But this level of power?
It was too amazing!
The three pale faces on the Devouring Snake's neck also showed a solemn look, because the huge explosion of energy level just now had already made it feel deeply threatened.
The Sword Saint Lambert, who had just flown back, felt the amazing explosion in the sky, and couldn't help asking Menia on the side,
"Your Highness Menia, His Majesty Ryan should have won the explosion just now, right?"
"I think so." Menia's pretty face showed a trace of worry.
Because the explosion just now was too strong, so strong that even she didn't have confidence whether Ryan could survive the explosion.
But she was now commanding the ground battle and couldn't go to check on Ryan.
Inside Ryan's mansion.
Lagre and Claire are not ordinary people. They are not afraid of the alienated power of gods. Therefore, they have been paying attention to Ryan's movements.
When they saw Ryan and the hunting god Rune fighting fiercely in the sky, their hearts were tightened and fluctuated violently with the fluctuations of the battle situation.
The barbarian girl Lagre tightly grasped the giant shield and battle axe in her hands, tightening and loosening, loosening and tightening.
"Claire, our strength is too much worse than Ryan."
"It would be great if we could help him."
Lagre wanted to rush out to help, but she knew that she could not intervene at all in the battle level that Ryan was facing now, let alone help.
If she rushed up, it would only distract Ryan and would not help the battle situation at all.
"Lagre, you shouldn't think like that. Ryan's progress is too fast." Claire comforted.
As a witness to Ryan's rapid growth, she knew how amazing the speed of Ryan's strength improvement was.
It was normal for them not to catch up.
In fact, it was not just them. With Claire's profound knowledge in the Imperial Royal Academy, she had never seen anyone who could match Ryan's progress.
"We can help him with other things, which is also a kind of help, just like what Jennifer is doing now."
In the sky.
Without any hesitation, Ryan grabbed the fragment of the Godhead.
In an instant, the system prompt sounded:
[Ding! Detected fragments of the Godhead that can improve the degree of spiritual power quality, yes/no to accelerate absorption? (Note: The system absorption can remove impurities and can be absorbed all at once.)]
In response, Ryan immediately chose "Yes!"
In an instant, he felt an evil and majestic energy coming from the fragment of the Godhead, and the whispers and vicious curses of the hunting god Rune sounded in his ears, as if to distort his spirit and assimilate his will.
Logically speaking, the fragments of the Godhead left by the gods are definitely not something that mortals can covet.
At least after entering the full moon wizard level or the demigod level, humans are able to deal with the fragments of the Godhead in front of them.
However, this problem does not exist for Ryan.
Because when the system intervenes, these obstacles will all disappear.
The fragments of Rune, the god of hunting, have been purified by the system, and all the remaining will of God has been wiped out. The remaining pure energy is from Ryan's arm all the way up to his mind.
At this moment, the spiritual particles in Ryan's mind also began to grow rapidly!
After a few seconds, Ryan, who had absorbed it, checked the attribute panel:
Spirit: 314 (100% quality)
"Hiss~ It's full!" Ryan's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
At this moment, the hard battle and injuries he had just experienced did not affect the happy smile on Ryan's lips.
"Doesn't that mean that as long as I master the fifth level of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method, I can directly enter the level of the Full Moon Wizard!"
The effect of the fifth level of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method is to form a "Heart of Steel" in the sea of spirit. In a sense, this has begun to transcend the scope of human beings and can be regarded as a partial concrete manifestation of the low-level godhood.
But if one fails to form a 'heart of steel', like Ryan at this moment, even if the qualitative process of mental power has reached perfection, he cannot be promoted.
Suddenly, the unusually surging energy impact from the distant palace interrupted Ryan's thoughts.
"Huh? What is that?" Ryan couldn't help but look sideways.
Ryan could feel a majestic aura rising in the palace. This aura was full of majesty and bearing, but it was somewhat different from the majesty of the gods.
"Is your majesty's promotion at a critical moment?"
Above the palace.
The feelings of several gods were naturally stronger and clearer.
"We have to speed up the progress."
"Hela, ignore that human for now. Our goal this time is to prevent humans from having demigod-level strongmen."
"Well, no matter how strong that human is, it will take some time for him to be promoted to demigod. By then, we will have been able to descend to the demigod-level incarnation. He will not pose a threat."
The goddess of the underworld, Hela, wanted to refute.
But when she thought about the three times she had fought with the blasphemer and failed to defeat him, for the sake of face, Hela stopped talking and nodded, agreeing with the opinions of the other gods.
"Then let's do it together!"
"Sword of Judgment!"
The evil god Greg, who had many arms, roared and thrust the two-handed sword in his master's hand into the ground of the palace.
In an instant, hundreds of arms repeated his action and thrust the sword down!
As dazzling blood-red ripples flashed by, the ground, pillars, and other parts of the palace, which were originally carved with a large number of complex defensive magic arrays, began to shatter.
For a moment, it seemed as if the palace had experienced a magnitude 10 earthquake and began to crack and collapse.
"Black water ghosts!"
Hela, the goddess of the underworld, also raised her white palm, and then there appeared in the air, a group of dense black water whirlpools, each of which had an ancient ghost with a painful face.
"Go!"
With a wave of her palm, these hundreds of black water whirlpools rushed down towards the broken ground, and then a series of violent explosions sounded!
The other incarnations of the gods also took action!
In an instant, the entire central area of the palace was completely destroyed!
"Not good! Stop them!" Elder Ivan's eyes widened and he shouted.
"The other party's target is His Majesty the Emperor."
"Protect His Majesty!"
Faced with the joint outbreak of several gods, the imperial guardians immediately launched a counterattack and tried to contain the other party, but it was too late.
At this time, a strong breath rushed up from the ground.
The strength of this breath was no less than that of the several incarnations of the gods in front of them.
A tall figure with golden light all over his body slowly rose from the ground.
It was the human emperor, Carlos II!
In the air, Ryan, whose body was healing at a high speed, also saw the supreme ruler of the Dragun Empire, Carlos II, for the first time.
The other party was wearing a golden long robe, a crown on his head, a majestic face, a golden scepter in his hand, and many five-colored dragons of the extremely old dragon level lingering around him.
"This breath, your majesty succeeded!" An imperial guardian said in a lost voice.
"That's right! Your majesty has finally entered the demigod level!"
"Great!"
"Did it succeed?" Ryan also had this thought in his mind.
At this time, Carlos II suddenly looked up at the gods around him and said,
"It seems that the legend is true. You are worried that a demigod-level strongman will appear among humans and master the artifact."
"So, even if it consumes a lot of divine power, you must descend to the incarnation to stop my promotion."
Hearing this, Ryan's face condensed.
"Artifact?"
Although Carlos II was vague, he had revealed something.
For example, this artifact, whose name is unknown, should have the power to restrain these gods.
Otherwise, the gods would not need to consume their divine power to do thankless things.
"Descendant of Dragun, even if you are the emperor among humans, you should not covet that artifact. It is not something you can covet." The evil god Greg said sinisterly.
"Any spying and coveting will bring disaster to you and your empire, just like what is happening now." The goddess of the underworld, Hela, looked around the ruins of the palace and the corpses of seven or eight five-colored dragons and said calmly.
The price paid by the empire in the fierce battle that lasted less than ten minutes was extremely heavy.
There were nearly double-digit deaths of adult dragons alone, not to mention several fallen imperial guardians, hundreds of elite griffin knights, and tens of thousands of imperial soldiers on the airship.
"Do you still dream of enslaving humans as you did in the Age of Barbarism?" Carlos II said solemnly.
"Since our predecessors have sealed all of you foreign evil gods, we will naturally do so in this era!"
"If all of your incarnations are lost here, it will greatly slow down your awakening!"
"Five-colored Dragon Flame!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Carlos II raised the imperial scepter in his hand. The five extremely old dragons, red dragon, green dragon, yellow dragon, blue dragon and black dragon, roared loudly at the same time and breathed towards the scepter.
"Breath of flame!"
"Breath of acid!"
The five breaths were mixed together by the scepter with some strange energy, forming a super-large colorful energy ball. The energy fluctuations of this ball were so violent that they far exceeded the "molten flame" that Ryan had used before.
"Go!"
Facing this attack, the faces of several gods suddenly became ugly.
"Everyone, use the Wall of Sighs!"
Greg, the god of the limb-joining cult, raised his arm first, and transformed his extremely condensed divine power into a translucent wall to block in front of him, while the other gods also poured their divine power into the translucent wall.
In an instant, the thickness of the wall increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this time, the colorful energy ball also hit the nearly meter-thick "Wall of Sighs".
"Boom!!!"
The deafening explosion sounded throughout the imperial capital of Tamriel, and the palaces around the imperial palace were instantly overloaded with dense and complex witch array patterns, but they were completely destroyed after just a blink of an eye!
As the super-strong shock wave dissipated, the gods were still unscathed, but the transparent wall was almost invisible.
"The power level of the incarnations of the gods has fallen!" An unknown imperial guardian shouted.
Although the wall of sighs was not completely broken, the imperial guardians present could feel that the gods seemed to have basically exhausted their energy in order to resist the attack of their own emperor.
"Huh? You?" Suddenly, Hela, the goddess of the underworld, who was looking at Carlos II, showed surprise on her face, and then laughed.
"I see." "
Human emperor, it seems that this time, you are still the loser, and we win!"
After saying that, the incarnation of Hela, the goddess of the underworld, took the initiative to disappear in mid-air.
She actually took the initiative to disperse her divine power.
There is one advantage to this, that is, after the small part of the divine will escapes, it will gradually return to the body, and it will not be like the previous hunting god Rune, where the small part of the divine will was directly wiped out by the system.
After hearing what Hela said, the other gods seemed to understand something. After looking at Carlos II repeatedly, they all smiled slightly and dissipated into the air.
This scene naturally made the people around the empire a little confused.
"Ah~"
At this time, a heavy sigh came from the mouth of the majestic human emperor.
At the same time, all the imperial guardians present, even Ryan who was far away in the air, could feel that Carlos II's aura was rapidly falling.
From almost the demigod level, it fell straight to the epic peak and late stage.
"Your Majesty!"
Elder Ivan seemed to understand something, and he stepped forward with tears in his eyes. But the next moment, he froze in place, and his outstretched hands froze in mid-air.
The imperial scepter in Carlos II's hand began to break, no, to be precise, it was weathering. The imperial scepter made of pure gold began to weather inch by inch and turned into powder.
Seeing this scene, Ryan was also distracted for a moment!
He was deeply impressed by this imperial scepter.
At that time, when he was still serving in the Sword Bearer Branch of the Munster Province, he used a replica of this imperial scepter in several missions to defeat many enemies.
But now, the real imperial scepter is collapsing in front of him
. However, it's not just the scepter.
Carlos II is also...
With the disintegration of the imperial scepter, followed by Carlos II's arms and torso, and finally, the whole person left a translucent figure, still standing, and not completely dissipated.
"So, the promotion just now failed?"
A thought instantly emerged from Ryan's mind.
Just now, he had always thought that Carlos II had successfully promoted to a demigod, and that was why he defeated all the incarnations of the gods in one fell swoop.
But he didn't expect that the other party actually overdrawn himself to do this.
The same thought also emerged in the minds of everyone present.
"No!!! Father actually failed!"
The second prince Everton's eyes widened, and there was no trace of blood on his face.
"It's over, the Dragun Empire is over!" He murmured.
