Chapter 107: Angel Descends, The Way of the Demon King
The strength of the "summoner", "demon resistor", and "ancient wizard" Herathan, in fact, can only be described as strong, in the ancient era of the dark world, he was already the top powerhouse of an era, not to mention that his strength increased in the years that followed.
Buckt the "Demon Eater" has the Spell Eater, and Herathan has the Spell Eater, which is even more powerful than the Spell Eater in terms of functionality, except that it does not have a magic filtering function (because it is not needed), this Codex can also seal monsters, seal powerful spells, and extremely effective auxiliary spells.
It can be said that if it weren't for the fact that in the past thousand years, Herathan had been at home for too long, and his combat consciousness had degraded a lot, Shi Yinghu would never have been so easy to subdue him that day, and on the other hand, it was also because Herathan knew too much, and he knew that the most powerful thing about cultivating the Demon Devouring Secret Method was not in other abilities, but in his powerful and incomparable physique and exaggerated melee breakthrough ability.
Sometimes, it's not a good thing to know too much, after knowing this, superimposed on the fear in his heart, Herathan didn't have the courage to fight for his life, plus Shi Yinghu's purgatory contract: a hundred years is not too long for a demigod, so Herathan chose to bow down and admit defeat, in fact, in the previous battle, Herathan didn't even fully show the strength of the "summoner" and "demon resistor".
In addition to the strength of the man in front of him, Herathan's departure from the mysterious shelter this time was also out of consideration for the imminent collapse of the dark world.
In fact, even if Shi Yinghu didn't come to trouble Herasen after leaving the Ninefold Purgatory, Herasen himself planned to travel to the continent and really feel the changes in the current situation, so as to react accordingly to the great changes in heaven and earth.
On the surface, it is true that the "Necromantic Emperor" Kate Bryan successfully subdued Herathan, but on the other hand, this matter is actually not Herathen's hiding behind the scenes, using Kate Bryan as a gunman?
Heaven and Earth Tribulation, Herathan, an old fox who has accumulated years, refuses to take his head, and simply swoops down here with Kate Bryan, intending to avoid the limelight of the Heaven and Earth Tribulation before anything else.
Herason's thoughts, Shi Yinghu has not been without a sense of grasp, but he has been in the past for many years, not only Kate Bryan's life, he knows that the people under his hands themselves cannot be completely with you, they all have their own interests, as long as they can do things and are willing to do things, they are already excellent and qualified hands.
Even if you make your own gun head and have Herathan as the barrel, this big gun is much tougher and more stable. When working with others, you should not only look at what others get, but also look at what you get.
Shi Yinghu accompanied Finney to stay in Wenerta for two months, listening to Herathan's teaching of various summoning secret methods, and benefited a lot, at the same time, in these two months, Wenerta gradually completed stability and prosperity, there were originally seven great powers on the dark continent, several regions, and they fought openly and secretly with each other, but with the intensification of the demonic disaster over the years, the major powers also realized that if they did not unite, everyone would not have to fight, and they could all be ready to go to the abyss to rebuild the primitive civilization.
In such a situation, the seven great powers united to form a human alliance to fight against the demonic plague...... Killed and defeated.
Consecutive battles, then consecutive defeats.
In the end, the government of the Seven Kingdoms was almost all shattered and could no longer be found, and the remnants of the entire human civilization were all attached to the City of Mages, the City of Sanctuary, the Harogas and the Venta, and there were indeed some remnants in other parts of the continent, but in terms of the main body, most of them were in these four cities.
Despair and panic have spread throughout the continent, making the sky gray, but because of this, the worship of faith has intensified, except for a small number of ancestor worship and various sects, the faith of the Holy Church of Light has spread almost all over the continent, and even many professional demon hunters have begun to believe in the Lord of Light.
At present, the order of faith strength of the four major human settlements is: Sanctuary City, Wenlta, Halogas, and the City of Mages.
There is nothing to say about the city of the sanctuary, it is itself the self-reserved place of the Holy Church of Light, the core city, Wenrta itself has no other beliefs, in addition to excessive sacrifices, it is not forbidden for the people to believe, sects preach, the ancestral god worship of Hallogas is too many settlers, diluting the original ancestral god belief in this area, only the city of mages, the popularity of the light faith is the lowest: the local residents are numerous, and they follow the upward and downward effects, and the people of Trikelt in the city of mages generally pay more attention to reason and speculation, and are relatively proud.
Under such circumstances, with almost the entire continent believing in the Lord of Light, Shi Yinghu, who lives in Wenerta, received a letter from the Pope of the Holy City.
It was an invitation to the Necromantic Emperor Kate Bryan to travel to Sanctuary City for Holy Baptism!
"Mentor, the world says that Pio VII had great ambitions, but he had no talent. But everyone didn't expect that this guy's ambition is not small at all, he actually asked you to go to the Sanctuary City to be baptized by him in person, hmph, even if you want an alliance, we are also in alliance with Harogas, the Sanctuary City, the Bright Sanctuary, what is it?" In the room covered with thick blankets on the ground, Indar Heru, who had been promoted to the Legendary Mage realm after twenty years, pinched the letter, faintly annoyed.
A genius is a genius, even if Indar Heru has been in charge of the Skull and Bones Society for so many years, which has divided a lot of his energy, but his spiritual will has also been tempered and tempered, and the intrigue with all parties has not stopped Indar from rushing all the way to the legendary necromancer realm, and he is the strongest among the legendary necromancers.
Even Shi Yinghu was quite satisfied with the disciple in front of him.
"I wrote back to Pio VII and said that this was a rite of sacrifice...... I will be there and trouble him to baptize me himself. ”
"Huh!?" Shi Yinghu's reply made Indar stunned for a moment.
Today, Kate Bryan is the node of the entire Dark Continent, and he is in charge of Wenrta, one of the four major human settlements, and is also the elder of Harogas City, another human settlement.
In this way, if he goes to the Holy City to receive the Holy Baptism, the power coverage and influence of the Holy City will be equivalent to directly covering most of the human race, and only the Mage City will be excluded.
Ten people bullying one person, that's bullying, a hundred people bullying one person, that's bullying, but ten thousand, 100,000 people bullying one...... When the power of the Light Sanctuary envelops most of the human race, no matter how stubborn and arrogant the Mage City is, it may be difficult to sustain it alone.
Indar didn't believe that his mentor would not be able to figure it out, so he was stunned for a while.
"What are you still doing? Didn't you hear what I said?"
"Ah, yes, I'm going to reply. Indar thought for a moment, nodded yes, and then turned and walked out.
Although the Wenlta Life Science Research Hospital has been open for many years and has countless living people, it has only eliminated the world's long-term prejudice and fear of necromancy, and it will take a generation or even several generations to further promote it, and with the current situation in the dark world, there is no time.
A few days later, news broke that Kate Bryan, the Emperor of the Dead and the most powerful mage of our time, would soon be traveling to the Sanctuary City to be baptized by Pio VII as a Saint of Light.
When they got the news, the legendary archmages of the City of Mages were crazy, because Pio VII's letter was delusional no matter which way it was calculated, and Kate Bryan had no reason to accept it.
However, the changes in the world are often more unpredictable, because the description needs to follow the laws of logic, and the development of the world does not need to.
........................
"What the hell is Kate Bryan thinking?"
"Is it really a lover who is willing to give up his hegemony for the sake of a woman?"
"He can't be baptized, otherwise, the Holy Church of Light will really be unable to check and balance. I thought he would be our ally!"
"I'm afraid it's too late to stop it, the letter has already reached the Sanctuary City, and it is said that Kate Bryan's only request is for the Pope to personally bless his wedding to Arreta Venu!"
"Pio VII agreed?"
"It's redundant to ask this, exchange a female cultist for the hegemony of the continent, that fat pig may even be able to wake up laughing when he sleeps in the past few days, not to mention that Aretta Venu has an ambiguous relationship with Kate Bryan, even if Kate Bryan is Aretta Venu's father-killing enemy, in order to promote today's events, Pio VII will personally tie up Aretta and put it in a box, and then tie a delicate bow on the box to send to the Necromantic Emperor. ”
As soon as the news came out, the continent shook, and Wenrta and Harorgas were okay, and the alliance with the Church of Light was not necessarily a bad thing in the current situation on the mainland.
However, those archmages in the city of mages are going crazy, and countless legendary mages rushed to Wenrta in the starry night, hoping that the Necromantic Emperor could think about it again, if he only wanted the wedding to be prominent, the city of mages would have the money to contribute and make a strong contribution, and the dragon would borrow the dragon to ensure that the wedding would be the largest in the continent.
However, outside the man's room, there was a low-eyed "summoner" Herathan, with this mythical mage here, and all the legendary mages who came to visit couldn't even see Shi Yinghu's face.
Outside the room, when the legendary mages were blowing the cold wind and pulling their hair and beards, the spring flowers in the room were full of life.
Before Shi Yinghu could meet Alata, after the demon crusade, Arytta took the teleportation array to Venta.
I haven't seen each other for 20 years, only letters are exchanged, and the shadow stone transmits sounds, and the thoughts are like a poison that burns people's hearts.
In the warm bed, after intimacy, Shi Yinghu told Aretta about his plan. Surprisingly, the little girl did not show any dissatisfaction.
"Don't you believe in the Lord of Light?"
"I'm just a shallow believe. My parents were very religious, but I believe I could convince them afterwards. I was just......... I'm more worried about your danger. "Under the candlelight, the red-haired beauty with jade skin is as tender as water, which is intoxicating.
Because of Shi Yinghu's insistence, the grand wedding in the Sacred City was arranged in a hurry, and even many material and human resources for the divine sacrifice ceremony were mobilized to the wedding.
Originally, although the Church of Light did not prohibit believers from marrying, it strictly required that they could only marry within the church.
That is to say, Kate Bryan can marry Arreta Venu only after the baptism, but the rules are set by people, especially when the rules are bound by the existence of Kate Brian's level, many times there is no need for the restrained person to exert his own strength, and the rules will naturally be deformed.
The Church of Light improved the wedding ritual so that the baptism was synchronized with the wedding, placing the baptism in the first half of the wedding, and even removing Pio VII, who was supposed to officiate at the baptism, lest the presence of a legendary priest upset the Emperor of the Necromancy.
The whole baptism process was led by Arreta Venu to Kate Brian, and it has to be said that in terms of ritual design, the level of the Bright Sanctuary can be said to be at the forefront of many forces in the mainland.
The Holy Baptism, the wedding, and finally the glorious Divine Sacrifice Ceremony, if it is successfully held, this wedding must be the greatest and most glorious in the history of the entire Dark Continent.
Time flies, how crazy are those mages in the City of Mages? Even so crazy that Shi Yinghu and Aletta Venu still refuse to give up after arriving in the Sanctuary City, and continue to sneak in to see each other, hoping to have the opportunity to present the pros and cons to their faces.
However, with Herasen in town, this situation has never happened, because not only Herasen, but also the Bright Sanctuary side is also very clear that there are people who want to stop this big wedding, so the palace where Shi Yinghu and Aretta Venu live, surrounded by nearly a hundred legendary paladins, Shi Yinghu can be sure that even Pope Pio VII's guards cannot be more and tighter than himself.
"Haha, you don't know, the Pope really wanted to baptize you, but the elders of the temple rejected it, and I heard my father say that the Pope's face at that time was very, very ugly. ”
It won't be long before he will be glad he didn't baptize me. "Between the two of them, time flies.
............
On the day of the wedding, Aletta was very beautiful in a snow-white and pure wedding dress, with crystal skin, bright eyes, and long silky red hair, which made her look like Asuka in the webtoon in the previous life, almost unreal.
For a moment, Shi Yinghu almost wanted to give up his original plan, and although Aretta agreed, he could hardly bear to destroy the perfection of today.
"Let's go, fool, don't you usually see it?"
chuckled, ran over and stretched out Shi Yinghu's palm, and then, Aletta took Shi Yinghu across the small lake, there was a small bridge on Alleta's side, and Shi Yinghu had to walk across the lake, which was of course natural and easy for a mythical powerhouse, but as long as this process was completed, it meant that Shi Yinghu had been baptized and belonged to a member of the Bright Sanctuary.
Holding hands and stepping across the lake, the two looked at each other and smiled, walking side by side. Surrounded by all kinds of brilliant rituals and rituals, but at this moment, the eyes of the two of them are just each other.
In the distance, the legendary paladin Grull Venu looked at the happy couple, both relieved and a little sad, and at the same time a little nervous.
Although in order to ensure the success of the plan, Aretta did not tell her parents the truth, but after all, she still hinted at part of it, and gave her parents a vaccination.
Arleita's mother didn't feel anything about it, she didn't understand it, but Gruel Venu understood it, so although he didn't know what would happen in a while, he knew that something big would happen, but Gruel Venu didn't worry about his own safety, because with his position in the Church of Light, unless he himself fell and betrayed, there was no crime that could directly cause Gruel Venu to die, and it was difficult to shake Gruel Venu's status as a strong person at this level.
Weddings, which take place from the dawn of the morning until noon, are not likely to end when the light wanes, according to the custom of the Church of Light.
What's more, the "Ritual of Divine Sacrifice" also needs the cooperation and assistance of time, place, and people to maximize the effect.
Therefore, at the climax of the wedding, at the height of the day, at the height of the radiance, the Church of Light chose to complete the final ritual ritual: the rite of divine sacrifice and the descending of the angels.
Yes, in the original plan of the Church of Light, even the invitation to the "Necromantic Emperor" Kate Bryan was a dispensable move, and the Necromantic Emperor Kate Bryan was certainly the ultimate in power and power in the world, but compared to the angels, he was still too small.
Of course, it would be beneficial to be able to bring Kate Bryan over, and for the time being, after the arrival of the angel was completed, even if the strongest necromancer was a mythic-level existence...... How could he compete with the Mythical Angels who were restrained?
Because of this consideration, the Bright Templar has always been so easy to speak, in the eyes of the Bright Templar, anyway, you are a grasshopper after the autumn will not be able to jump for a few days, and as soon as the angel comes, you will only bow down as a necromancer.
I have to say that the preparation of the Light Sanctuary is really sufficient.
With the completion of the final ritual, a golden-white pillar of light rose into the sky, and with the surging tide of holy power, the door of space opened:
In the clouds, high in the sky, a golden light slowly appeared, a magnificent and magnificent golden holy light tide, and after the light tide, what slowly appeared was a holy world:
The whole body is made of the most immaculate white jade, built countless majestic temples, as decorative multicolored glazed windows, overlapped, bathed in golden holy light, these temples are far more majestic than any imperial palace, and the huge scale shows the majesty of the gods.
The roads of that world are paved with gold, and this gold is different from what is seen in the world, they look so transparent and clear that they can almost be seen, and this purest kind of gold can be called gold crystals.
Everywhere is green grass and vibrant, as if it is a thick carpet on which you can lie down comfortably and sleep, all kinds of flowers and trees, thousands of purples and reds, colorful, beautiful. However, the various colors do not look like reflected light. Rather, it is the purest light that emanates directly from the object, and in contrast, any colorful and beautiful scene in the mortal world has a feeling of imperfection and fading.
All these heavenly majestic scenes reflected in the surrounding clouds and mist, a mixture of white and gold, soaked in holy radiance.
Moreover, in this heavenly world, there are countless holy angels with white wings on their backs and divine light shining above their heads.
Divine, magnificent, majestic. Everything in front of you is enough to imprint these three concepts directly into the souls of those who admire them.
For a time, the entire Sanctuary City was full of kneeling people, priests, and witchers, who were all in awe and shock in awe of the heavenly scene in the sky, as they drew a brief ritual with their hands on their chests, and at the same time prayed earnestly to the heavenly scene in the air, including many non-believers and infidels, because in the face of all this, everyone had to be in awe and shock.
Everyone around had already knelt down, including Pope Pio VII, but Shi Yinghu gently held the pale Arletta's palm to prevent the little girl from kneeling down with weak legs. As a former transcendent Dharma Body, even if he faced the god Shi Yinghu, he would not kneel, and Arletta, as his wife, could not kneel to an angel either.
At this moment, accompanied by the beautiful music and the rain of golden white light, in the glorious heavenly scenery in the sky, an angel with six pairs of light wings on his back, a handsome face that is difficult to describe in pen and ink, and his whole body is bathed in divine white light, descended to the crowd below.
Finally, it hung in the air dozens of meters away, and under his divine light, everyone's whole body was indescribably comfortable and happy.
"I am the angel Michael. The voices of Qingyue grandiose but indistinguishable men and women sounded, and many believers below burst into tears.
However, the next moment, the next sentence of this angel really made everyone cry: "In the name of the Lord of Light, I declare: the trumpet of doom has sounded, and this world is about to fall into ruin!"
With the words of the angel, a scene appeared among the clouds in the sky: it was the destruction of the world like the collapse of the heavens, the rivers of blood, the plague of locusts, and meteors falling from the sky, and millions of demons raging and destroying the world.
"Lord...... Save us, lost lambs!" The city of the Sanctuary was originally the city of light and faith, so when the angels came, there would be no one to question the words of the superior angels...... What's more, people are telling the truth, according to the current trend, the dark world is basically destroyed.
"The harvest is about to begin, and there is no escape from you, nor can you escape it. ”
"God will not turn a blind eye to the evils of the world. God waits until the time he should have waited for the time to come, and judgment will take place. ”
"I will personally descend and lead you to participate in this glorious holy war!"
"Remember, hold high the banner of dignity, do not damage the prestige of our lord, and conquer one after another, and the lord will lead the whole army until the demons are destroyed, and my lord will indeed be king.
You can expect the Lord even to die. Those who are brave and brave enough to face demons, even if they die, deserve to be redeemed and ascend to heaven, where they will always experience the mercy of the Lord.
Those who cowardly flee and turn their backs on the glory of our Lord will live a long life, and after death they will fall into hell forever!" With these words, the holy radiance of the tall angel that kept descending became more and more fiery and hardened like a sword, and locked the terrifying qi on the man who threw the woman behind him and came up to him.
"Thou shameful, unbelievers?"
"Don't talk nonsense, this seat obeys the avenue for a long time, sticks to it day and night, and obeys it night and night...... Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement. With the sound of words, Shi Yinghu's figure continued to fly up and rise, and the pure black magic power around his body seemed to glow at this moment, lingering around his body like a flame of light.
The next moment, amid the exclamations of countless people around him, Shi Yinghu made a palm print towards the Lord of Light who was scattered with sharp rays all over his body.
Where the palm is shrouded, the space collapses and shatters, like a cosmic black hole being generated in space and about to devour the world.
"Heretics!"
In an instant, the immeasurable light converged around Michael's body, and the next moment a dazzling sword of light appeared in his hand, sweeping and slashing towards the dark void that had been created out of thin air.
You can't pour dirty water on Michael's body because of the disagreement between the two sides, in fact, the purpose of Michael's coming, the Lord of Light, Shi Yinghu knows, and he even knows that the other party has no malicious intentions, and this angel came to this world with noble and good intentions.
Shi Yinghu, who had dealt with the gods countless times (Blood Moon), knew what he meant, or the big man behind him, as soon as he heard what Michael said when he came.
Michael will lead the light believers of the dark world to start a decisive battle with the demons of the endless abyss, but no matter whether they win or lose, the light heaven knows very well that this world must not be wanted, otherwise the dark power will continue to erode the past, and it will also be a huge trouble for the other world.
However, these light believers in the dark world can be taken away, although they can't be taken away alive, but it is not a problem for their souls to take them away.
Man, when he is alive, provides faith for the gods, and after death, the gods provide long-term peace for people, which is the most basic and primitive contract between man and God, and it is also the most basic principle that cannot be violated.
Therefore, from the perspective of the Bright Heaven, the former angel Michael really came down with great kindness: for those who are pious enough to believers in the Light, the world is doomed, and in the final battle, Michael will lead the believers of Light to temper their souls with despair, and finally pack up and take away the best and most determined believers before the world collapses.
The God of Light is definitely fulfilling the contract between the gods and the people, of course, those on the Dark Continent who do not believe in the God of Light, or who do not believe enough, have too little time to believe, have nothing to do with it, which is also reasonable.
The God of the Bright Sanctuary mysteriously engaged in a divine sacrifice, because he had enough knowledge, Shi Yinghu had a little information, and he understood that the other party was engaged in the arrival of the gods. At the same time, he also vaguely speculated about the intentions of the Bright Heaven.
Therefore, Shi Yinghu chose to participate in the Coming to the City of the Sanctuary: to meet the arrival of the gods. Otherwise, there is no way, you are engaged in the Ark of Doom here, the world is over, you run away with a boatload of people, and the world will sink irreversibly on my side.
After Michael came, he would not care whether the world was destroyed or not, all he cared about was whether the light believers could be tempered enough, whether there were enough elites in this world, if Shi Yinghu was willing to really submit, with his level, Michael would never care about bringing a few more saints back.
Light and darkness impact, pure darkness can also be transformed into light, and the end of light can be transformed into darkness...... The explosion exploded between Shi Yinghu's palm and Michael's sword, and at the same time, countless paladins flew into the sky around him, ready to assist the Heavenly Messenger and kill the continental myth that dared to violate the majesty of the gods.
However, at this moment, several legendary mages appeared, led by Herathan, first took Arreta Venu away, and Herathan summoned twenty fierce and terrifying demons in one breath through the summoning of the Magic Codex, they surrounded Shi Yinghu and Michael, forming a magic circle, and the next moment, with the dark purple light cover, the air distorted, and Shi Yinghu and Michael had been moved to a barren and chaotic ruined plane.
"Humans, millions of people will die because of your decision!" After coming to the shattered half-plane where the heavens and the earth are dark red, Michael no longer said official terms such as "you", and with a wave of the lightsaber in his hand, the void was almost torn apart in space.
"It is as if the prayer is not considered a dead man, and the prayer is not enough to provide the power of faith in the kingdom of God, no matter how devout he is, compared with the true believer, right?" No matter how nice the name is, the mergers are also similar to ghosts, but the special environment of the kingdom of God gives them a sense of reality similar to the flesh, but no matter how hard they struggle, the final outcome of the vast majority of the mergers is that after thousands of years, with the death of the soul and the integration into the plane of the kingdom of God, there are very few independent life forms that can truly become saints.
Of course, objectively evaluated, this is already very strong, believing in Shinto, you can give eternal life to your loved ones, loved ones, and people you care about. This is almost impossible for other evolutionary systems, a god can allow thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of souls to survive in his own kingdom of God for thousands of years, and a god of the same level, he can not even guarantee the longevity of his beloved.
Therefore, many cultivators do not advocate finding a Taoist companion in the early stage of cultivation, because in most cases, it is really too bad.
However, it is difficult for the Yin Spirit of Ten Thousand Tribulations to enter the Holy Realm, and there are almost no evolutionaries who have successfully jumped to the upper plane in the middle plane, and the Xiuzhen civilization has returned miserably, and has been struck by lightning and struck by lightning, but in the vast years, there have been a large number of strong people who have achieved the immortal karma level, jumped to the upper plane, and even the strong people who have jumped to the upper plane of the Xiuzhen civilization have added up to more than the total number of strong people who have jumped to the upper plane of other civilizations in the heavenly world.
At the moment when the space shifted, Shi Yinghu took advantage of the instability of the space during that time, his forehead and eyebrows flickered, and the six-wheel space door opened: Steel Bone, Hell Three-Headed Dog, White Bone Slayer, Abomination Monster Moriarty, Death Giant King Yum, and many bone dragons flew out of it one after another.
This is the experience that Shi Yinghu learned from Herathan, when the space is unstable, if you summon it, you can save about one-third to one-half of the magic power, of course, your own coordinates must be adjusted, otherwise, your summoning may be directly lost in the Great Void and the Heavenly World, it is really miserable, in order to save some magic, you lost your mutation summoning.
Shi Yinghu has Haotian Magic, and his spatial positioning is particularly stable and accurate, so it only took a little more than one-third of his magic power to summon the six major mutant summons from the dead space, faintly surrounding the Lord of Light, Michael.
"Hmph, what a fool, I'm the Angel of the Front, who wields the power of light, and you dare to summon death in front of me?"
"Then you can try! Our brother is the life created by the master out of nothingness! Even if it is destroyed, it can still be created again! I will see if you, the glowing birdman, are also like our brothers, immortal and immortal!"
