Chapter 547 The Origin of the Righteous Gods
Seeing the second prince Everton in a state of distraught, everyone could not help but feel the same and sigh.
The once magnificent palace has now become a ruin, and compared with the material, the loss of personnel is far beyond expectations.
When Ryan's injuries were initially healed and he came to the palace again, a large number of guards had already begun to pick up the corpses.
Ryan came to Menia, looked at the place where Carlos II fell, and said:
"Menia, why are all the resurrected evil gods, what about the righteous gods? For example, what about the monsoon and the goddess of the sea?"
In his opinion, if the resurrection caused by the energy tide, it should not be only the evil gods who are resurrected.
If the battle of the imperial capital had the participation of the righteous gods, perhaps the result would be much better.
"The righteous gods have long since withered. Since ancient times, the evil gods have been constantly invading our world. According to ancient records, about 23 righteous gods have completely disappeared in the long river of time, and some of them have not even left their temples."
"At present, within the territory of the empire, the only ones who still have a weak faith feedback are the monsoon and the ocean goddess."
"However, I don't know if it's because of the seal of that item, but until now, there has been no sign of the goddess's revival."
"So that's it." Ryan nodded.
He knew that part of the body of the evil demon was sealed in the deepest part of the underground of the Cologne Cathedral in the imperial capital.
Ryan thought that neither the evil gods nor the righteous gods wanted to see a demigod among humans, but now it seems that this is not the case.
There are too many things to deal with in the imperial capital after the war.
In this state, it is obvious that the second prince Everton cannot be relied on, so after an emergency discussion among the empire elders, Menia continued to serve as regent.
After saying goodbye to Menia, Ryan walked towards the mansion.
Along the way, there were people crying and shouting at the top of their lungs. For example, a little girl with twin ponytails in a pink dress was holding a doll and crying in front of a collapsed house.
Under the ruins of the house, the remains of a young woman could be seen.
Obviously, the other party had a happy life before, but now...
Continue to move forward, there is a crater-like broken area in front of you, and a man is holding a broken leg and wailing. Judging from the signs, this should be caused by the aftermath of the previous battle.
Federation, Zetaia.
Cave camp in the Reserlo Canyon.
Swordmaster Tirion, Dawn Wizard Hernandez, and several extraordinary wizard elders sat together at a long table, discussing something solemnly.
One of them was Hiram, the dean of the Federal Mechanical Research Institute, and judging from the aura, the other party had successfully entered the level of Dawn Wizard.
"Hiram, according to your judgment, what exactly is the huge metal dinosaur that appeared on the negative second floor?" Swordmaster Tirion asked.
"According to the memory crystals that Lord Ryan left us last time, plus the records in the ancient books, I am 90% sure that the opponent should be the top combat force in the ancient goblin mechanical army - the Tyrannosaurus King."
"If we talk about the level of golems, the ancient goblins named it 'Leader level', while wizards, more often named it 'Titan level'." Hiram explained.
He had just successfully entered the Dawn Wizard for a few days when he was called over by the Sword Saint Tirion.
The reason was simple, because the Federation's exploration was forced to suspend.
During this period of time, the Federation had assembled six Dawn Wizards and Sword Saint Tirion, a total of seven epic combat forces, but they were unable to penetrate the negative third floor, and were forced to stop at the negative second floor.
The biggest obstacle encountered was a super-giant metal dinosaur, and Hiram was also shocked when he first saw the other party.
"Titan level? Isn't that a demigod-level existence?" An old wizard holding a blue crystal ball exclaimed.
"That's right. According to ancient records, a complete army of goblin machines in ancient times was enough to fight against the strongest among the demigods." Hiram nodded and said.
"Doesn't that mean that we can't control the floating city at all?" Another old wizard in a gray robe frowned and said.
The number of epic-level strongmen that the Federation can mobilize is naturally more than the seven people in front of him, but the problem is that the various situations faced in the Federation's territory are also relatively complicated. The current seven people are already close to the limit of what can be mobilized.
If more are mobilized, the situation in many territories will deteriorate sharply.
"Well, maybe we can invite the Empire, especially invite Lord Ryan to participate?" Suddenly, Hiram made a suggestion and said.
"The floating city is top secret. Invite the Empire to participate? Lord Hiram, do you think it's appropriate?" The old wizard who just held the blue crystal ball looked at Hiram with a very speechless expression.
However, he soon discovered that both the Dawn Wizard Hernandez and the Sword Saint Tirion were silent, but instead looked like they were concentrating on thinking and considering seriously.
This made him wonder.
"That... Is Lord Ryan from the Empire that powerful?"
"He defeated the incarnation of the goddess of the underworld, killed the ancient sea beast 'Smoldering Electric Eel', and defeated the main force of the Poseidon Cult alone. Do you think it's powerful enough?" Hiram said unhappily.
The other party was from the same batch of wizards as him, but because of their personalities and tempers, they had always disliked each other. However, the other party was promoted much earlier than Hiram, so Hiram had always been at a disadvantage.
Now, Hiram has also successfully entered the level of the Dawn Wizard, and naturally he will no longer tolerate it.
"This... That doesn't mean that the other party can defeat the 'King of Tyrannosaurus', right?" The old man looked embarrassed, but still said stubbornly.
"Haha, the opponent is a rare metal-type Dawn Wizard, and, at least, he is in the late Dawn stage."
"What! But... how is this possible? There are only a few old guys in the late Dawn Wizard stage in the Empire, and I have never heard of anyone named Ryan."
Including the old man holding the blue crystal ball, several other Dawn Wizards who had never seen Ryan looked at each other with astonished expressions.
"Haha!" Hiram finished with a chuckle and stopped talking immediately.
Just when the Sword Saint Tirion was about to act as a peacemaker, suddenly, a messenger reported at the door of the tent.
"Report! Urgent news from the imperial capital!"
"Go in!" Tirion frowned. He had previously instructed not to disturb them unless it was important. Obviously, the messenger would not be ignorant of the importance of the matter.
"My lord, just yesterday, eight incarnations of gods descended on Tamriel, the Dragun Empire, to prevent the imperial emperor Carlos II from being promoted to a demigod. A fierce battle broke out with the empire. Although the gods were eventually repelled, the empire suffered heavy casualties and the emperor Carlos II died!"
"What!"
Hearing this news, the strong men of the Federation present, their eyes widened, their mouths slightly opened, and they stood up one after another.
Because this news was really shocking!
"Everyone, it seems that we must speed up the progress."
"The situation is several times worse than we imagined!"
"Today, the evil god can descend on the Dragun Empire, so one day in the future, the other party is likely to descend on the Federation. At that time, what can we use to resist?" Sword Saint Tirion looked around and said solemnly.
"I agree with His Majesty Hiram's opinion to contact the Empire and seek joint exploration to control the floating city as soon as possible!"
"I agree too! If Lord Ryan can join, I think the exploration progress will be greatly improved." Hernandez nodded and said.
Tamriel, Bixiu Construction School Station.
After comforting his family, Ryan first went to check some information about the Full Moon Wizard, and then came to the secret room of the school station again.
After such a tragic battle with casualties, Ryan felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
The intensification of the evil god's revival made the empire shaky.
Ryan first tried to outline the fifth-level model of the 'Heart of Steel' advanced meditation method again. Soon, he was delighted to find that the progress had greatly improved.
On the first try, he directly improved the progress by 33 runes, reaching 445 will runes.
"The degree of spiritual power quality is perfect, and the improvement of the advanced meditation method is indeed huge."
Half a day later.
Ryan pushed the progress to 479 runes, and the gap from the final 512 runes was not too big.
"It is expected that in ten days and a half, I will be able to complete the outline of the fifth-level model."
"However, I have to find a place that is safe enough to be promoted."
There is a key link in the promotion of demigods, which is that it takes a little time to complete the shaping process of the quasi-godhood. For Ryan, it is the formation process of the 'Heart of Steel' in the spiritual sea.
Ryan is not sure whether the system will help him complete this link directly.
It would be best if it can be completed instantly, but if...
"But even the palace is not safe, where is the right place?" Ryan frowned and thought.
At this moment, suddenly, the communication mark on Ryan's chest flickered.
"Huh? The high-level meeting of the Empire?" Ryan felt it for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and said.
Half an hour later.
In the conference hall of the palace.
The Dragun Empire was holding its first high-level meeting after the battle of the Imperial Capital. The one who presided over this meeting was the 'Red Queen' Menia.
It was the first time for Ryan to attend a meeting of this level, and the content discussed at the meeting was also important intelligence at the level of the entire empire.
"After we transferred most of the Imperial Guardians back to the Imperial Capital two days ago, these provinces such as Vaz Province, Nome Province, and many other provinces have experienced bloodshed with more than a thousand people, and the casualties of the people have been heavy."
"The Black Flame Cult, the Limb Reattachment Cult, the Secret Snake Cult and many other cults are very active. We need to immediately deploy personnel to curb them. Otherwise, the situation will become worse," said Marshal Alfred.
"But this time, in the battle of the imperial capital, four imperial guardians died, more than 82 nine-headed death griffin knights fell from the five-colored dragon, and 432 palace guards were destroyed. 3,233 houses were destroyed."
"If we want to stabilize the situation in the empire now, I'm afraid it will not be an easy task." An old man from the military said in a deep voice.
After hearing this number, Ryan was also silent!
This battle not only made the empire lose the courageous and resolute Emperor Carlos II, but also brought heavy casualties and losses to the empire.
"For this matter, everyone think about it, is there any good solution?" Menia, who was sitting on the main seat, frowned and said.
"This. Should we consider cooperating with one of the evil gods, so that the other party will cause dissatisfaction among other evil gods, and thus trigger internal fighting among the other parties?" At this time, an old man in aristocratic hunting clothes suggested.
"No! The essence of cooperating with the evil god is to make the people, or some of the people, believe in the other party. Not to mention that these people will be gradually distorted by the will of the evil god, it will be difficult for the empire to explain to the Goddess Church alone." An imperial guardian immediately objected.
"This will not only cause the long-established tacit understanding between the Empire and the Goddess Church to fall apart, but the loss of faith will further slow down the recovery of the Monsoon and Ocean Goddess."
"I think it's worth considering. At present, when the Goddess has not yet recovered, it is difficult for our Dragun Empire to maintain the current turbulent situation by relying on its own strength." Another noble old man with a slicked-back hair said in a deep voice.
"You may not know that the Empire is already in tatters, tax revenue has dropped by 30%, and a large amount of arable land has been abandoned due to frequent cult activities. This situation is even more serious in remote areas."
The words of the Minister of the Interior made many people frown.
Although the Guardians of the Empire have already taken a long way on the road to transcendence, ordinary people are the cornerstone of the Empire's existence. Without a large population, it is impossible to breed a large number of transcendent beings.
Soon, many people spoke in succession, either important members of the Empire, Guardians of the Empire or royal elders, but many of them had differences.
For a time, the scene was divided into two factions, but the supporters of the two factions each had their own reasons.
At this time, after thinking for a moment, Elder Ivan suddenly asked Ryan,
"Your Majesty Ryan, what is your opinion on this issue?"
Hearing Elder Ivan's question, other imperial guardians, heads of various departments of the empire, and even Princess Reinara all looked at Ryan.
They only then realized that His Majesty Ryan, who had shined in the battle of the imperial capital, had not spoken.
Because although Ryan was very young, his strength was fully demonstrated in the battle of the imperial capital. Another point is that His Majesty Ryan seemed to have won the trust of His Highness Menia.
"Everyone, this is my first time attending a high-level meeting. Originally, I wanted to speak less and listen more."
"However, since Elder Ivan asked me to speak, I would like to ask everyone a question, that is, the origin of the righteous gods, such as the origin of the monsoon and the goddess of the sea. Do you know it?"
Many people were confused when they heard Ryan's question.
After all, the question Ryan asked seemed to have nothing to do with the question they had discussed before.
"The origin of this seems to be untraceable, but according to the sporadic records in ancient books and the origins of most recorded gods, the goddess of monsoon and ocean should have originated from a powerful human female long ago and gradually promoted."
In response to this question, Walkermas thought for a moment and answered.
"Your Majesty Walkermas's profound knowledge makes me admire him. I only learned about it yesterday when I was reading ancient books." Ryan nodded slightly to Walkermas and said.
"Your Majesty Ryan, what do you mean?" Elder Ivan seemed to have thought of something, his eyes suddenly opened, and asked.
