2 Human Encounters Chapter 288: The Fall of Nycos
After the palace order was given, Chloe set out on her way to China, along with Charles and Hilfa.
Originally, Xifa also wanted to stay by Chenming's side, after all, as one of the highest combat power on the Hestifo side, the role of the uncrowned king was still great, but Chenming was not worried about Chloe's safety, and now the whole world was full of final beasts, and no one could guarantee that there would be a transcendent-level giant beast anywhere, so even though Chloe and Shefa opposed it in every way, the coins still forcibly suppressed their thoughts.
In addition to them, the other nine transcendents who followed Theresia to the human world were also sent to other places, so the only remaining powerhouses left were Natsumi, Zorgbel and Emperor Tirestine, who had just returned from Nikos, and the probing succubus Lukotea.
The group of four of them, together with Tatsumei and Shakira, set off for Nikoth again, and cooperated with the demon army that had already gone to stop the tide of the beast of the end.
The Esgol Desert and the Rama Mountains are almost a country apart, and even at their speed, it took them nearly two days to reach the city that was hit by the damp.
Rushing through the ruins of the city, which was already full of gunsmoke and black gas, the faces of several people were a little ugly, and after only two days of delay, several smaller cities had fallen.
"It seems that the disaster is more serious than we thought......"
Looking at the ruins of the beasts rampant and corpses in front of him, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Chen Ming's eyes, "The vanguard of the demons will not arrive in one day, in order to prevent the disaster from expanding, let's solve the place as far as our eyes can see first, Tirestin, you stay here first, deal with these monsters, and then wait for the arrival of the demon army, and I and them will go to a few nearby cities to stop the spread of the beast of the end." โ
"Good. โ
Tirestin nodded and said, "Sir, just go, and I'll get rid of the Beast of the End here as much as possible." โ
Retracting his gaze, Chen Ming didn't say much, and the moment he took a step, the figures of him, Shaqiro and Lukoteaa had disappeared in place, and Natsumi and Zorgebel also left in the other direction.
The beast of the end does not necessarily require a life with magical power to form, but all ordinary beasts and humans who are attacked by the magic of life transformation will mutate, they are not necessarily powerful, but they have a common characteristic, that is, ferocious and brutal.
It's not just other ordinary beings that are attacked by the End-of-Life Beasts, but even their own kind are inevitably attacked by their more powerful kinds.
In the midst of the chaos of the city, endless beasts roar and roar in the sky above, and the beasts of the end are rampant, hunting all life in the land, including themselves.
The weak beast of the end could not stop Tatsunaru from moving forward, and every time a wave of beasts met him, it would inevitably be wiped out to ashes by his magic, and even the absolute annihilation, which was a great headache for others, was wiped out without reservation.
"There are no survivors left in these cities......"
Glancing around, Lukotea retracted her gaze in disgust and laughed at herself, "I didn't expect a day when I would worry about humanity. โ
"The meaning of life has never been about race. โ
Chen Ming's body is still spotless, there is still a long way to go from the real disaster area, just relying on the final beast here is not qualified to connect with him at all, "I think that when the real day of destruction comes, we will also put aside all our preconceptions about other lives and face the calamity on the same front." โ
"Is that really a calamity?"
"The biggest war I know of is the war between the gods of heaven and hell, and even then, whether it is a demon or an angel, there are still many factions fighting on their own, and for countless years, isn't it like this?"
"Later, I'll talk about it later. โ
Chen Ming said indifferently, "Maybe we won't see such a scene in our lifetime, but I think maybe one day in the future, life will really understand each other." โ
"Perhaps?"
Lukoteaa smiled lightly and said, "Enough rest, let's continue on our way, and then you don't have to make a move, just replace me." โ
"Hmm. โ
The three of them continued to take a step, running deeper into the fall.
Late night soon came, and at Chenming's suggestion, they stopped again, and Natsumi and Zorg Bell returned to Chenming's side one after another after cleaning up other cities.
The bonfire shook under the night sky, and Chen Ming did the business of roasting the beast of the end in the same way as in the abyss, and under the strange gaze of the three of them, he casually flipped the barbecue meat in series.
"Are you sure this thing can be eaten?"
Lyukoteia gagged slightly, and said, "That's flesh and blood poisoned by transformation magic......"
"In the abyss, there is no other food, only these artificially created beings. โ
Chen Ming's gaze was quite flat, and there was a hint of remembrance in his eyes, "Although the soul is defiled, the body of life is pure and clean, without these, I am afraid that there is no way for me to get out of the abyss alive." โ
"Have you really been to the abyss?"
Zogbel cast a questioning gaze, in fact, it was not only him, but Lukoteaa also didn't believe that a demon who was only a seventh-order could survive the abyss and get out of the abyss.
You know, in that kind of environment without magic, let alone them, even the demon king may not be able to get out of it safely, this is not speculation and speculation, but there is really a demon king who has gone down and died there, and what came out alive is only his demon king's evidence, somewhere in hell, suddenly appeared and flew back to his race.
Since then, in hell, no one has dared to go close to the abyss again, and even the demon king can't survive that place, what did Chen Ming rely on to come out alive?
"I don't need to prove anything to you. โ
Chen Ming's eyes didn't have any waves, they were always plain and bland," But there is one thing you need to pay attention to, that is, with the deepening of the hard-hit area, our mana consumption will become larger and larger, human food is not enough to replenish our mana, I know that when you came, you all had some potions and food for restoring mana, but this amount is not much after all, the limit of what you can carry when crossing the world bridge is only your own magic, you can't carry more things with magic at all, the beast of the end is the same as the beast of the abyss, it can replenish the magic power we consume within a certain magnitude, and it will also reduce the burden on our bodies, eat or not, you decide for yourselfใ โ
After the meat was cooked, Chen Ming took two skewers by himself, one skewer was handed to Sha Qiluo, and the other skewer was eaten by herself, and Sha Qiluo also ate it, in her opinion, as long as it was the food handed over by Chen Ming, whether it was poisonous or not, whether it was good or not, she could take it all.
"Master An Mixiu also said that the young master once went to the abyss, although I don't know the specific situation, but they really need to deceive us?"
Xia Mi, who had never spoken, smiled slightly, the first condition for being a dependent was to believe in his monarch, and from the time he realized with Chenming to the present, he always believed in every word that the young master said.
The remaining two hesitated slightly, and also picked up the meat skewers in front of them and ate them.
The taste and taste of the flesh and blood of the Beast of the End was extremely unacceptable, and on the first bite, Lukotea almost spit it out, but then she felt a strange warm current that lingered in her mouth, melted into her body, and dissipated a trace of exhaustion.
"Huh?"
Ryukoteia was slightly surprised, looked at the meat skewers in front of her, and said in surprise, "It can really replenish the magic power......
"It just doesn't taste very good. โ
Zogbel's face was expression, and he was not very particular about food, but after determining that the beast of the end could replenish his magic power, he did not hesitate to quickly eliminate the meat skewers.
Although it was only a small amount, it was finally replenished, and after eating up the processed flesh, everyone sat contentedly next to the campfire, looking at the lively and jumping flames, Lukotea asked blankly, "What kind of world is under the abyss?"
"Before the mutation began, there was nothing strange about the environment we lived in, except that there was no magic, everything was perfectly normal. โ
Chen Ming recalled with a smile, "Like us, there are also intelligent beings there, they have a long life, wisdom and wisdom, and they have their own civilization. โ
Zorgebel also asked with some curiosity, "What about after the mutation?"
"After the mutation, ah......"
On Chen Ming's face, the smile gradually converged, and there was a trace of silence in his eyes, "From the moment the first life becomes a monster, the mutation will spread rapidly like an infectious disease, and the endless black gas will devour all life, that kind of black gas has a poison that is even more terrifying than absolute annihilation, even if I have eaten a large number of abyss beasts and have developed a trace of resistance, I am still almost killed by the toxin, and those abyss lives will speed up their alienation because of these black gases......"
"I thought I had experienced the horrors of the abyss. โ
His body curled up in a ball, as if resisting, "But when I left, I looked down from the sky, only to find that the place where I landed was only the weakest edge of the abyss, not even the edge, and in that even more distant depth, there were countless monsters bigger than the city, roaring, tearing through the darkness, destroying the light, it was the real abyss that even the demon king would tremble for......"
He raised his head, glanced at the three people with solemn eyes, and said, "The abyss is not a single place, it is a world that has been created, and when life changes, it was abandoned and sealed by people, I think if this world still cannot be redeemed, then fate should be like ......this."
"I suddenly began to feel that the great union of life you mentioned might really become a reality one day in the future......"
It was obviously extremely warm, but Lukoteaa couldn't stop shaking her body, "I'm beginning to believe that you've really been to the abyss......"
"Let's not talk about that. โ
Chen Ming smiled slightly and said, "As I said, whether it is the Abyssal Beast or the Beast of the End, their flesh and blood possess resistance to absolute annihilation, so eating them is not only to replenish the magic power, but also to have a head start when we fight against the Beast of the End, which can control the matter of absolute annihilation." โ
"It's just that I'm a little worried, if we eat too much, will our bodies also be affected by the residual magic of life transformation?"
Ryukoteia said worriedly, "Just like when your magic power is weak, eating a high-level demonic beast will cause physical changes, I don't want to become a monster like that......"
"You don't have to worry about that. โ
Chen Ming waved his hand and said, "Life transformation magic and life creation magic also originate from the soul, and the birth of absolute annihilation matter is also the shattering and distortion of the soul, so it will not pollute the flesh and blood, and some of their flesh and blood are only pure and clean energy, and they do not have the genes to change the body." โ
As soon as he said this, Ryukotea breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You are really knowledgeable, Dr. Chenming." โ
"Uh...... Doctor?"
Chen Ming frowned, his face was a little strange, he shook his head, and said, "Laugh at me again, as the successor of despair, some basic theoretical knowledge needs to be kept on hand, okay? โ
"Theory class, culture class, ......"
Lyukoteia was speechless and said, "These things...... What's the use?"
"That's why your achievements are just transcendents. โ
Zorgbell said, "The most basic gap between the uncrowned king and the transcendent, in addition to the magic background, there is also a crucial factor, that is, the understanding and affinity of magic and magic, the magic background depends on talent, and understanding and affinity rely on acquired efforts, your talent is not much worse than your sister-in-law, but you can't even reach the uncrowned king, where do you think you are inferior?"
"Sister, that's the Seven Deadly Sins, okay?"
Lukotea was unconvinced, "How can I compare myself to her?"
"Lord Ryutsuki is one of the very few demon kings who has ascended to the throne of the Demon King as an uncrowned king. โ
Xia Mi said, "Among the fifty-two existing demon kings, except for three monarchs, only four have achieved such an achievement, before they became demon kings, their use of magic and magic power is enough to compete with the real demon kings, and after becoming demon kings, they have become super strong after monarchs, and the reason is because the demon king's evidence has a higher affinity for them." โ
"The talent for magic is important, but the mastery of theoretical knowledge is the key to strength. โ
Zogbel looked at Ryukoteia and said, "Do you know why it takes so long for the transcendents to ascend to the throne? The main reason is that their knowledge of their magic power has not reached the scope of the Demon King's Certificate, and it takes a lot of time to bridge the gap between them and the Demon King's Certificate. โ
"In other words, if you ascend the throne at the same time as Young Master Chenming, then the one who becomes the Demon King first will definitely be the Young Master, not you with stronger magic. โ
Xia Mi smiled and said gently, "Although the young master is still very weak, his insight into magic and magic power is higher than that of us uncrowned kings, and it is impossible to reach such a height by relying only on the accumulation of magic power." โ
"Don't say that. โ
Chen Ming said helplessly, "The first condition for inheriting the certificate of the demon king is to reach the strength of the transcendent, and the requirements for magic power are also very harsh, not to mention the big pit of the certificate of the desperate monarch, before the uncrowned king, I don't have the confidence to touch it." โ
He looked at Xia Mi and said, "And even if I can inherit the Demon King's certificate now, I don't want to take over the burden of An Mixiu so quickly, strong power means responsibility and pressure, I have only been in contact with magic for five years, and I am not qualified to resist these." โ
"Your Excellency once said that you can ask him for the Demon King's certificate at any time as long as you want, which is not to confer any responsibility, but because the Demon King's certificate can help you grow faster. โ
Xia Mi said gently, "Your Excellency has always been very optimistic about you. โ
"As long as he doesn't dig a hole for me to jump, I'll be satisfied. โ
Chen Ming laughed at himself and said, "His coffin book, let's wait for him to die before giving it to me." โ
"Ahem......"
The straightforward and disrespectful words made Zorgebel roll his eyes, it was the first time he had seen him curse the monarch like this in so many years, and even he, the brother who destroyed the monarch, did not dare to talk about Igril in such a tone.
Chen Ming didn't care much, he looked at Ryukotea, and said, "No matter what world you are in, knowledge is not useless, strength is not without reason, talent is one thing, hard work is another. โ
"Do you know what you look like now?"
Pouting disappreciatively, Ryukoteia said, "The instructor who took theory classes when I was a child is like you now. โ
"Hmmm......"
The three of them looked at each other helplessly, and Chen Ming said, "Charles's talent is a little worse, but do you dare to bet that one day in the future, he will become another Flame Demon King after his father?"
"Just him?"
"This guy is three or four hundred years older than me, although he has different resources, but his talent can only make him reach the transcendent and become a demon king at most?"
"When an uncrowned king is born from the Flame Demon, the Demon King's certificate will be returned in its entirety?"
Chen Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course I remember, but I still bet with you that if I win, then you will promise me a condition, and vice versa." โ
"You're not kidding, are you?"
Ryukoteaa was surprised, she even didn't understand why Tatsunato was so optimistic about Charles, although she also had a slight affection for the latter, but in fact, she didn't have any hope that Charles would become the Demon King.
Chen Ming shook his head and smiled, "Despair is never a joke, and as his successor, I won't joke either." โ
Ryukotea's eyes flickered, and when Chen Ming looked at her so firmly, there was also a trace of unconfidence in her heart.
But in the end, she still nodded in agreement.
After the woman nodded, Chen Ming withdrew his gaze, looked in a certain direction of the sky, and said with a wicked smile in his heart, "You are a straight man, if you don't work hard, even your wife will look down on you......"
