Chapter 66: Becoming Clearer
Horace was stunned, but before he could say anything, the danger in his perception made him instinctively dodge.
But 'arrogance' is faster!
As soon as he raised his hand, he grabbed the opponent's ankle.
And then......
Call!
The flaming demonic flame, with its characteristic roar, flew in from outside the temple and slammed into Horace.
Rumble!
The waves burst, scorching and churning.
The temple hall, which was already small, fell into a sea of fire in an instant.
It was as if a real fiery demon was wreaking havoc in it.
Tread, stomp.
In the sound of clear and powerful footsteps, a figure that blended into the night walked slowly, just like this, walking along the heavy wall that had been knocked down by Horace.
The moment the black figure stepped into the flames, the flames that burned violently rose into the sky.
Kill!
The demonic power hidden in Qin Ran's heart turned extremely fast.
It can't wait to tear its opponent apart.
This has always been its hobby.
Completely different from other source forces.,A unique hobby.。
But with Qin Ran's thoughts, it immediately died down.
Just as it knows its hobbies, it knows exactly where it stands.
As for the conflict of hobbies and positions?
Inexistent.
Qin Ran stretched out his hand and pulled 'arrogance' up.
He didn't hold on.
Because, he knew very well, if he really did it, 'arrogance' would definitely struggle away.
The pride of 'arrogance' will be restrained when faced with him, but this does not mean that he can be unscrupulous.
"I'll leave it to you."
'Arrogant' said this, and disappeared in the flames.
Even if he dies, 'arrogance' can be reborn in Qin Ran's heart, but if he doesn't die, who wants to truly experience death?
He is not the other person who sees death as a poisonous snake and beast, but is entangled by death.
Call!
The next moment the 'arrogance' disappeared, a ball of demonic flame appeared on Qin Ran's left hand again, and it was thrown to his feet.
Rumble!
Another explosion.
Horace, who was already wailing in the flames of demons, was completely silent.
But Qin Ran didn't stop.
Demon Flame was like a machine gun bullet, smashing into the opponent's body one after another.
Until the other party ...... until the ashes are annihilated.
Then, Qin Ran turned around and looked straight at the statue that was becoming more and more exquisite in the flames.
"Very smart!"
"Worthy of being a killer."
"Can you tell me how you found out?"
"I think I've hidden all my breath."
Suddenly, the statue spoke, as if it were a real person, its lips twitching, and its face showed puzzlement and curiosity.
Qin Ran didn't answer, just looked at the statue of the hunter next to him.
Under the burning of the demonic flames, the statue not only turned pitch black, but cracks appeared on the surface of the statue.
On the other hand, Kirk's statue is still as brilliant and flawless as ever.
"Hahaha."
"I see."
"I was negligent."
Laughter came from the statue's mouth, and the next moment, the statue slowly walked down the altar with a laugh that made people subconsciously feel heroic when they heard it.
The other party walked in front of Qin Ran in just three steps.
"How about joining me?"
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse! Think about it! ”
"You know...... This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you! ”
The other party lowered his head and looked down at Qin Ran.
"I refuse."
Qin Ran said very simply.
"I said don't be in a hurry to refuse, you need to think well."
"I rarely appreciate a mortal, you are the first."
"Perhaps, you don't know my identity yet......"
"God of Thunder."
Qin Ran's indifferent tone interrupted the other party's solicitation, and the other party was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again, as heroic as before.
"Wise mortals."
"So, what else do you know?"
The other party asked with a smile.
"I also know your other two identities."
Qin Ran replied.
"Oh, which two?"
The other party asked with interest.
"'Devourer' and 'Hero' Egger."
Qin Ran said in a calm tone that was enough to surprise everyone.
"It seems that the secret of 300 years ago has been discovered!"
"I'm sure I've erased everything."
"How did you find out?"
The other party sighed, both frustrated and showing off, like a child, and then the inquiry became like a curious child.
"There must be traces of existence."
"Erase and leave only more traces."
Of course, Qin Ran would not tell the truth.
When 'Lazy' brought back the news that there was no monster entrenched outside the Thunder Temple, Qin Ran felt weird.
Who would go to such great lengths to protect the Temple of Thunder under the premise that the city of Navia was destroyed?
That's right!
It's protection!
Through the description of 'lazy', Qin Ran couldn't think of anything other than protection.
And who other than the God of Thunder himself, is there a more suitable target for suspicion?
No!
Only the other person will do it.
Only the other party has the ability to do so.
Therefore, Qin Ran's initial suspicion was that the 'God of Thunder' and the 'Devourer' had collaborated to create the destruction of Navia City, but after the High Evil Spirit discovered the 'Devourer' with only a body, Qin Ran immediately dispelled this suspicion.
How could a 'Devourer' with only a body cooperate with the God of Thunder?
Even if it's still more powerful than anyone could have imagined.
However, someone will always need to manipulate this body in order to exert its due power.
So......
Who is that manipulator?
In connection with the news brought back by 'laziness', and then think about who should have appeared on the battlefield before, but in the end it was silent.
God of Thunder!
The God of Thunder and the Devourer are one!
Qin Ran, who came to this conclusion, was very shocked.
But if you speculate according to this conclusion, everything becomes logical again.
300 years ago, the 'hero' Iger saved the city of Navia from the 'Devourer', but instead of being a god, the other party became a true god.
It's unbelievable.
Conspiracy theories haven't stopped for so many years.
Qin Ran was also one of them.
He once believed that the 'hero' Iger had been poisoned because he had not become a god.
But having come to the conclusion that the God of Thunder and the 'Devourer' are one, Qin Ran would not think so.
No matter how powerful 'Hero' Egger is, he can't be the opponent of the God of Thunder, or if 'Hero' Egger is really that powerful, the God of Thunder will no longer exist.
But as a result, the God of Thunder is still there, the 'Devourer' is also there, and the 'hero' Iger is gone.
Then the most crucial point arises: the 'hero' Iger has disappeared or has simply been killed, so why did his followers become the new gods?
If the 'hero' Egger was killed by the God of Thunder, then the followers of the other party, Qin Ran would not think that the God of Thunder would be tolerant enough to let them all become gods, and it would be extremely rare in Qin Ran's opinion.
Can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?
Let the enemy grow to the point where he is worthy of himself?
Qin Ran didn't think that the most powerful Thunder God in Navia City would be such an existence.
You must know that no matter how hidden the secret is, there will be a day when it will be discovered.
Once it is discovered that the God of Thunder and the 'Devourer' are one, those who were once followers of the 'hero' Egger, what will the gods of Navia do at this moment?
Just think about it with your heels.
As for the god of thunder, moved by the character of the 'hero' Egger, he decided to give up killing the other party's followers or something?
Or are the followers of 'hero' Iger moved by the grandeur of the god of thunder and give up revenge?
No kidding.
It's not.
Therefore, another speculation appeared in Qin Ran's mind: the 'hero' Egger was also played by the God of Thunder.
Only in this way can we explain why the God of Thunder spared the followers of the 'hero' Egger.
Because, they themselves are one-sided.
Of course, those followers don't know the truth.
Or rather, only part of the truth.
Think of the Lady of Thorns and the Lady of Fortune's predilection for the latter.
Thinking about the resentment that the other party suddenly exposed when he fought with Lady Fortune, and the identity of the other party who used to be the lover of the 'hero' Egger, something naturally became clear.
Of course, the God of Thunder manipulates the 'Devourer', and playing the role of 'hero' Egg is not boring.
The other side has a great conspiracy.
What is it?
The vanished gods of Navia have long since said it all.
The other party is just 'raising pigs'.
According to the process of the other party's 'becoming a god' described in the old books, and the subsequent inquiries, Qin Ran could be sure that the gods of Navia should be similar, at most they were much stronger than the old books.
But the essence is no different.
The old books can only obtain 'nourishment' for scholars and some bards, and even if they reach the level of full body, they only turn the emotions that act as 'nutrients' into a higher power of faith.
Then the god of thunder can only absorb the power of faith that belongs to his followers.
There was nothing wrong with this when Navia first appeared as a town, but as Navia's population grew and gradually became a huge city-state, the god of thunder became unwilling, and he wanted more, if not all, of the power of faith.
But he's just the god of thunder!
His strength is real, but he can't encapsulate all faiths!
Therefore, the other side has another option: to 'devour' all faiths.
Qin Ran didn't know how the 'Devourer' appeared.
But he knew that it was precisely because of the appearance of the 'Devourer' that the God of Thunder chose one suitable target after another, played a 'hero' play, and then, as a matter of course, raised these people to a delicious enough degree, and then used the 'Devourer' to swallow them in one bite.
Naturally, in this process, the other party intersperses elements such as 'followers', betrayers, and so on.
But whether it's the former or the latter, it's just an embellishment for the other party, just to make everything look more natural.
And what the other party pays is just a trivial thing.
Compared with the other party's gains, there is no need to mention it.
Sow.
Harvest.
It was undoubtedly quite an enjoyable process.
It's a pity that the appearance of the other party disrupted this rhythm.
His unexpected sword not only left most of the 'Devourer' body left, but also caused the other party to suffer heavy damage, so that after the other party devoured the gods of Navia, he only completed the body of the 'Devourer', but he did not completely recover from the heavy damage he received.
Otherwise, with the grudge between the two sides, the other party will not take advantage of the outside of a temple at all. Surround. The members went to the Golden Lord, in the name of helping the delusional lord spread the plague and fulfill his dreams, but in fact to lure him over.
As a leader of Gold, who is very close to Aya's outpost, once the plague breaks out, he will definitely not sit idly by and watch it for the time being.
And as soon as he arrives at Gold, no matter what the final result is, he will definitely appear in front of him with the character of an old book.
He's bound to come across old books.
You're bound to get information that seems to be hidden.
And that information will eventually lead him here.
Lead to this hidden temple.
In front of the other party who devoured the gods of Navia, but still couldn't recover to their original state.
He.
Become the opponent's new devouring target!
Therefore, Qin Ran would not believe what the other party said about joining.
I'm afraid, the so-called 'joining', that is, swallowing.
Swallowed in the stomach, it naturally becomes one, that must be joined.
"The way you speak is really familiar to me."
"Looks like Vanessa has taught you quite a bit."
"Or, she gave you a lot of tips to keep you on the lookout for me."
"But ......"
"Do you know why she didn't just pick it out?"
A playful smile appeared on the statue's face.
"Not sure?"
"Afraid?"
Qin Ran said casually.
"She's not sure, she's afraid!"
"You know—"
"I'm the god of thunder!"
With a low roar from the other party, the stone wall outside the statue instantly shattered, and the thick and dazzling currents were like writhing pythons, and they danced around a 5-meter-tall, blue-covered body.
Snort!
In the loud sound of electricity, the god of thunder, who had regained his original appearance, clenched his fist slightly, and immediately the louder sound of electricity like a hummingbird flapping its wings echoed in the main hall.
The other party lowered his head and looked at Qin Ran in front of him, revealing a malicious and smug smile.
"The timing was just right."
"yes."
"Just right."
Qin Ran looked at the other party's smile, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.
Undoubtedly, the other side is stalling for time.
But he's stalling for time.
Otherwise, why talk nonsense with the other party, or even know that it is the other party's layout, and resolutely step in.
It's all about ......
'Gluttony' stalls for time!
The Devourer's body is at the bottom of the ocean.
He didn't know where the God of Thunder had found this body, and naturally he didn't know how to use this powerful body.
However, he knew of another more practical way to use it -
Eat!
