Chapter 53: Bewitchment

Yulia landed safely to the ground with the help of the Slow Fall Technique, and when she looked down, the eels in the water were already boiling, as if they were scrambling for fresh meat that had just arrived. She didn't see Oran's figure, although she knew that Oran's strength was strong, but there were more thunder eels below.

Now is not the time to grieve, Oran had asked her to destroy the statues in the palace before leaving, this is what Oran tried his best to do, she didn't want to let Oran down.

Obviously he could have left her alone to complete the mission in that case, but Orlan didn't. This shows that Oran still cares about her in her heart, but now she can't be happy.

Behind him is the target of Orlan's trip, the idol of the god in the palace of the giant tree. Yuria didn't know why Orlan would go to such lengths for a statue. After all, gods, statues, and belief in gods were too vain in Yulia's eyes. She knew the God's Domain Rhodeland, and she knew the tall Protoss who lived there. In her opinion, no matter how powerful a god is, he is just an individual with great power.

The difference between gods and men is the same as the difference between humans and races such as elves, giants, dwarfs, etc., and it does not say who is born to lead other races, and who is born nobler than other races. Every race has strong people, but now this era is the world of the god race, maybe one day the era of the human race will come, no one can say.

The whole palace, or the temple, in short, the roots of these giant trees crisscrossed to form a platform that held up the statue in the middle. This was the idol that Orlan was talking about, but Julia did not discern from the strangely twisted and chaotic idol that it belonged to any known god.

As we all know, the appearance of the gods is not much different from that of humans, and the statues of the gods carved from unknown materials in front of them have faces that can be seen as human faces.

It's just that these people's faces are too distorted, hideous, fearful, and painful, which is largely contrary to the "light" that the gods of Rodland want to convey to all beings. Therefore, this idol could not have been a normal deity belonging to the Sun God King.

So how do you destroy it? Her body was burning, frozen, bursting, petrified, and corrosive, poisonous alchemy. However, it takes a certain amount of time to prepare, and it cannot be used as easily as a normal fog bomb. Otherwise, it is not impossible to give her enough time and materials to freeze the entire underground river.

As long as you destroy this idol, go back to Orlan, and find him whether you live or die.

……

"Shhh...... Hiss, hiss. An inexplicable sound came from the idol, startling Yulia, who was about to do it, and as the voice gradually changed, it became an obscure whisper from an ancient language. Yulia couldn't help but be attracted by the sound...... It was a language similar to "dragon language", and even differed from dragon language with only a few syllables, which she was all too familiar with.

"Darkness, flames, betrayal...... Cursed, Fire, Darkness, Dwarf...... The Chosen One. This voice filled the entire Giant Tree Palace, and it seemed to have magical power that could capture people's hearts.

Certain words were repeated, some of which even Yulia couldn't understand. The voice seemed to induce Yulia to ask those questions that existed in her heart, and her eyes seemed to become dilated.

"You, you're alive?"

"Serve the darkness, worship the abyss, master of a thousand faces, god without faces, hiss...... The Chosen One, what do you want to know? ”

"I, I want to know, knowing who you are, should I kill you?" Yuria's demented face changed slightly, as if she remembered something.

"Hiss! Haha, you want to know everything about the world, right, like a newborn cat. I saw that the idol began to writhe and transform, and the layers of dander began to peel off, and in the blink of an eye, it became a creature with a huge tortoise shell. The original faces that had changed shapes were all gathered on that shell.

The creature's head began to stretch out, perhaps it was a snake with limbs and an upright body. The eyes hidden in the black cloak glowed red, and an unknown spirit was infecting Yuria's mind through them.

Yulia seemed to see a flame in the infinite darkness, a tree whose size it was impossible to describe. Flames were born from the roots of the giant tree, the dark underworld. And then around the flames, the corpse-like guys stood up, they craved for the flames, they drew the flames......

At this time, these humanoid creatures each gained their respective powers from the flames, and their descendants and descendants increased. One day, they decide not to live underground anymore because they discover the wider world above the ground.

There are great trees, there are ancient dragons, there is darkness and haze. One of them, the strongest king, suddenly had the idea that he wanted to spread this raging flame throughout the world, and the thought was out of control.

……

Yulia saw the betrayal, the fall of the ancient dragon, the power of thunder and lightning. The establishment of the realm of the gods, the rule of the gods, the world of the dwarves, the beginning of history...... She was overwhelmed by all this, but a force forced into her mind.

Finally, the living idol shows her the darkness that the whole world will face in the near future, and that the "flame" that is vital to the gods is quietly being extinguished. Even the Sun God King, who was believed in by all living beings, had already been burned out.

The deep imprint has begun to appear, and the cursed corpses have been brought back to life, and they are called the "undead"! The undead will sweep the world with an unstoppable force, and then all living beings will become wandering souls, even those high above will fall into the mortal realm.

Once again, the idol tells Yuria that the ghosts are what life is in this world, and that the flames of the gods are nothing but lies prepared for humanity by traitors and fraudsters.

"So, Yuria, are you willing to spurn the flames and serve the darkness and become the future king of the ghosts?" The idol asked softly.

"......" Yulia was silent, as if the word "willing" would come out of her mouth in the next moment. Having glimpsed the "truth" of this world, she could not resist this temptation from "truth". But there has always been a voice in the bottom of her heart telling her not to do this! Nor can it be done!

At some point, a straight sword with a ring-shaped hilt appeared in the idol's hand, and the idol pointed the sword straight at Yuria's heart, which was lying flat on the altar.

Indeed, if you want to become an immortal, to become a king of ghosts, then you must first be an "immortal"!

……

Bang! At that moment, there was a loud splash of water.

Outside the Giant Tree Palace, I saw a figure appear. The figure stood on top of a huge serpentine monster, and from the sword body to his whole body, blinding white lightning flashed and flowed.
