Chapter 193
“Nao!! Aaaaaa——!”
Lich King Rory... No, Rory, who is now under the law of light, is no longer a lich the moment the curse is lifted, but has turned back into the former supreme governor of the Principality of Gaowa.
Without the curse of the undead, he was reborn in the corridors of history and restored the power of light he once possessed. In the law of light cut through by the sword hanging overhead, he felt that his power had been strengthened unprecedentedly.
The next moment, Rory realized what had happened and immediately looked at the Space Dragon in front of him.
In terms of strength, the ancient dragons known for their individual strength are the undisputed top in the Divine Continent, not to mention Orthophis who can become the Dragon King. Not to mention the Archon period in the past, even Rory, who was the Lich King the moment before, could only temporarily avoid the dragon's full strength.
However, Ottophis still had the "Great Annihilation" on his body, which was like a maggot on the tarsal bone and weakened his strength. After Rory lifted the curse, his strength increased again and he was no longer harmed by the environment. The balance of victory had tilted.
"No one can stop me, Dragon. I personally shot down the Sky City back then, and I will personally shoot down you today too!"
Rory stretched out his hand to the side and began to pry the laws of light that filled the surrounding space, summoning the artifact of light [Sword of the Hanging Head], intending to launch a thundering attack on Ottophis from the front.
The weak God-Blooded One who had entered the treasure house before, the curse power that poured into the treasure house, and the dragon that suddenly let out a joyful cry, all made Rory feel uneasy. He wanted to enter the treasure house immediately to find out what happened. If Nao was successfully resurrected today, he would also fight to the death with the other party.
"Roar!" Ottophis let out a painful roar.
The sword hanging overhead had not yet materialized in Rory's hands, but the pure white power of the law around him had begun to penetrate the layers of defense of the space folds and squeeze towards Ottophis's dragon body. Of course, the most damage to it at this time came from those black cracks.
The dragon's skin had extremely high resistance to both physical and magical attacks, but it could only crack helplessly in the face of these cracks, shedding drops of golden-red blood that were quickly decomposed by the surrounding laws of light.
Ottophis still maintained a high-spirited struggling posture, but everyone knew that it was no longer able to resist at this time. As long as it was hit by Rory's sword again, it would surely die here.
Even at this moment when Rory was still nervous about the changes inside the treasure house, even though Rory had personally shot down the dragon's nest and the sky city, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of complacency and satisfaction.
'I am about to conquer the Ancient Dragon!'
This idea slowly condensed and took shape in Rory's mind along with the sword hanging over his head.
However, the next moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared above the dragon's head in a way that Rory could not detect. It was like a space teleportation, but there was no magical fluctuation.
In particular, this area is full of the power of the law of light and is related to Rory, but he did not sense the power fluctuations brought by the other party's appearance at all.
[Do you want to bind the mount 'Sky Dragon' Orthophis Lild Loen? ]
【yes】
"hold head high……"
At the moment Ye Bai confirmed his choice, a hearty roar came from Ottophis's mouth. At the same time, the black annihilation cracks that were still slowly spreading upwards suddenly stopped, and then simply faded away, disappearing in an instant.
If it weren't for the scars on the dragon's body still slowly healing, one would doubt whether it had ever appeared.
"Success." Ye Bai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
The donkey that used to be Ye Bai's mount was only a part of Ottophis. In essence, it was the data that had been 'compressed' by the curse released by Nao. When the real information of the Dragon King was expanded, it would immediately be locked by the automatic data clearing program.
Once the data clearing program starts running, even Ye Bai cannot stop it through the console.
So Ye Bai used another new method to solve this problem - after she regained her status as God King and Game Administrator, she re-bound her relationship with Ottophis.
The first priority of the game is always player data.
The cleaning program then recognized that Ottophis had become important data and immediately removed it from the cleaning list.
When Ye Bai entered the God Realm, perhaps because the game had not yet started public beta, even as an administrator, she could not use the relationship binding system. Kraken and Ottophis were actually related, but it was not displayed in the game system.
Even when Ye Bai picked up the Kraken, she tried to temporarily write a pet system on the console. Because of the limited content, she later had the "crude and simple" pet system.
However, the pet system written at that time could not be used. Instead, it was implemented on Ye Bai ten thousand years later, and the same was true for the mount system at this time.
"How is this possible! How could it be you?!"
This sudden change caught Rory in front off guard. Because of Ye Bai's appearance, not only did the "annihilation" fade away, but Ottophis, who was suddenly freed, also broke free from the constraints of the surrounding light laws.
Then, Rory stared at Ye Bai standing above Ottophis, and the sword that was gathering above his head stopped: "How could you... Nao?!"
The curse has clearly been lifted, so why is it that the person who came out of the treasure house is not Nao, whom he thought was resurrected?
Luo Li keenly sensed that something unusual had happened to Ye Bai, who was dressed exactly the same as before. Compared to before, he now exuded an indescribable majesty and pressure...
The next moment, a line was drawn in the void next to Ye Bai, and then a slender hand stretched out from the line, as if lifting the curtain of reality.
A strongest curse master wearing a long robe, with silver hair and black eyes, appeared in the standard way of the Void Spirit Clan, standing in the void one step in front of Ye Bai. His posture was skillful and natural, as if this position had always been his.
Of course, Nao's feet were suspended in the air, keeping a distance from the dragon's head.
Even though Ottophis is considered lively and easy-going among the ancient dragons, and has used the power of space to take food from Ye Bai's backpack many times in the past and present, a dragon is a dragon. Except for the true God King, no one in this world can make a proud dragon a mount.
"Rory, you are so lucky. You are the first person in this era to meet the God-King." Nao showed up and spoke, saying the first words to Rory, who had hated him for who knows how many years.
What? !
Rory's eyes widened. His gaze passed Nao standing in front of him and fell on the figure behind him. The contents of the allegorical scroll kept impacting his mind. The giant figure in the scroll began to overlap with Ye Bai standing on the dragon's head...
"No! Impossible!"
The next moment, Rory's eyes turned red, and he suddenly tore up the fable scroll that appeared in his mind. He was in boundless anger and unwillingness, and at this moment he burst out with the strongest strength in his body.
"I was the protagonist of the era as early as the Sealed Age. I am the strongest person born into the human race! I destroyed the dragon clan and lived from ten thousand years to the present. I wield the sacred light... I am the one who deserves to be the God King!"
With every word he spoke, Rory's aura and strength grew stronger. The trajectory of his past life emerged in his mind. His state of mind reached its peak at this moment. He knew that he would be able to release the strongest attack of his life soon.
Target, the figure on top of the dragon's head!
"The sword hanging from the ceiling!"
Rory opened his right palm to welcome the arrival of the sword hanging above his head.
Among the top races in the divine realm, the human race seems to be the most comprehensive, or the least distinctive race. In terms of knowledge level, it is not as good as the elves, in terms of artistic attainments, it is not as good as the elves, in terms of reproductive ability, it is not as good as the purgatory, in terms of recovery ability, it is not as good as the deep sea, and even in terms of the individual strength of the awakened ones of light, it is not as good as the dragon.
The only difference from other top ethnic groups is that this race possesses a unique "brave" attribute. In the common cognition of the human race, the most anticipated awakener of light has the strongest explosive power among all ethnic groups and can often create miracles of defeating the strong with the weak.
Therefore, ordinary human bloodline awakeners are not as powerful as strong people from other ethnic groups. However, when they become the king that the human race desires, their strength will expand rapidly.
Back then, Rory was the most promising awakener of light among the human race during the 'Sealed Age' of various races opened by Naor. He was one of the legendary figures of that era and was only one step away from becoming the true king of the human race. He was already able to summon the Sword of Light, a divine artifact of light, but he could not release the full power of the artifact.
Nao traveled among various tribes and found Rory when he came to the human tribe. He asked him to disperse the bright blood that had gradually accumulated in his body to ensure the continuation of the human race and other ethnic groups. However, Rory saw this request as an excuse to prevent him from becoming the strongest.
So Nao used the law of death contained in the Deathly Hallows to curse him, and sealed most of the power of light in Rory. In this way, as long as Rory did not die, other awakened people of light would never reach the critical point, and the human race could also complete the contraction in this way.
However, he did not expect that Rory would be merciless to his own descendants as well. He used the magic of flesh and blood to peel off and gather the power of light from generation to generation. In the historical corridor where he was most prestigious, he used this alternative sacrifice to summon the sword hanging overhead.
However, facing Rory's outburst, Ottophis and Nao on the opposite side remained calm and did not react at all, as if everything was under control.
"The sword hanging overhead."
Because the next moment, the same call came from Ye Bai's mouth.
Under Rory's incredible gaze, the artifact of light that he had to exhaust all his strength to barely summon was actually condensed and formed in the other party's hands at a rapid speed. It was a world of difference compared to when he summoned it himself.
As endless light slashed from the opponent's hand, Rory heard Nao's voice——
"I forgot to tell you that among the many honorific names that have existed since the beginning of time, Lord Baiye has one of them, Eternal Glory."
During the God King period, Ye Bai had the kings of the five top races under his command, but the only one missing was the king of the human race. That was because, in addition to being the God King, she was also the king of the human race who wielded the sword that hung overhead in that era.
Glory is identity, eternity is authority.
The "Eternal King" uttered by Nao and Inollucia was not just a title of respect, but a manifestation of real power.
——As for what kind of power can be called 'eternal'?
Of course it’s time.
As the sword hanging overhead like a ray of light slashed down, Rory, who was hit instantly, felt himself starting to "fall back".
This regression was not strength, but time on him. Rory, who had just been freed from the cursed state, regressed to the lich state. Locked by the artifact of light, he began to passively endure the erosion of the surrounding laws of light, but time continued to regress, until he returned to the state before the curse.
But this is not relief, because the power of light that originally belonged to Rory is also being returned to the surrounding laws of light, just as he had been constantly strengthening his own strength, and has been regressing to his very beginning when he had not activated the power of light.
Finally, all of Rory's power born in the light, along with his life, was returned to the light at this moment.
