Chapter XXVII
The black wind howled.
An extremely cold storm equivalent to death itself spread out with Roland as the center.
In that instant, the whole world shook.
A muffled sound shattered the ground around Roland, the viscous and filthy air was shaken away, and the space around Roland was blurred.
The next moment, a great hurricane that looked like a substance blasted out like an artillery blast towards the demons in all directions of Roland. Only in the space next to Roland was a space that was vacant like the eye of a hurricane.
The frigid black hurricane froze and weathered the flesh-made ground.
Covered in a fierce, dull cloud of dust, flesh quickly turned pale, withered, and dehydrated. Its wriggling gradually stopped, as if it had fallen asleep, and it seemed like it was dead.
Half a minute later, the howling storm finally stopped.
But it all seems to be over.
Countless demons maintained the posture of the previous moment, covered by a thin layer of black ice, and the expression on their faces was unusually calm and serene. Even the abyss, the earth of the abyss, polluted by dusk and reduced to flesh, stopped breathing.
If I had to describe it accurately, it would be the end of the earth.
The King of the Earth came and put the abyss to death, as Roland showed to Elukado and the demons.
The spiraling black smoke screen robbed the demons and the earth of life, guiding them through the myriad journeys of life directly to the final eternal sleep.
- That's right. Everything has an end, even the world will be destroyed, and only demons will not have the right to eternal life. Instead, Roland and Elukado saved their lives in the face of this equal death.
Elukado was completely unharmed. Or maybe she's already died once, and now she's being reborn in a new state, but there's no doubt that this death verdict means nothing to her.
But Roland is different. His body was already covered with black ice chips.
Even if the Underworld itself was summoned by him, the damage caused by the burst was definitely not negligible to him.
His life fire is extremely weakened at this moment, and if he opens the system panel, he will see an abnormal state of [Extinction (83%)].
His maximum health is less than one-fifth, and the maximum value of Divine Grace has been reduced by the same amount, even his stats. Perception has been weakened to the level of mortals, and the strength is even weaker than it is even more difficult to lift the crystal scepter.
The most important thing is that he has been injured by the bitter cold, and Roland's immortality has temporarily expired. Although he was not frozen and completely purified into an ice sculpture now, there was a crunch sound in his body as Roland walked.
It was the sound of ice chips shattering with bones. If he can't shatter all the ice chips in his body, Roland will have a hard time just walking, and the damage of the cold to the dead crow will continue to weaken Roland, not to mention gradually recovering his almost extinct body.
Roland was expressionless and used his bones to break the ice chips all over his body one by one, his face was almost pale, but he didn't exhale in pain. Because the ice chips stuck in the gap between the left arm and shoulder were so thick, the squeezing of the bone did not break it, but pushed it to puncture the flesh and fascia from the shoulder blades.
Roland slowly stretched out his hand, grabbed the ice chip with his delicate but steady, untrembling fingers, and then pulled it out directly, bringing out a handful of silver-white smoothies.
It is only at this time that Roland realizes that he is no longer mortal.
It seems more like some kind of monster than a god.
It was then that he finally understood what Elukado had said.
He used to think that humans can't kill monsters, only monsters can kill monsters.
But now it seems that if it is not for humans to kill the monsters, in the end only new monsters will be left. Become a new monster in order to kill a monster and eventually be killed by a new monster. Such a contradictory and absurd infinite loop, if it cannot be cut off, the so-called salvation is nothing more than a joke.
Roland sighed deeply as he looked at the horn-shaped ice flakes he held in his right hand, almost as big as the palm of his right hand.
If you are a god and a savior, can you lead mankind to the stars and redeem the whole of Faense?
Now it seems that this answer is most likely impossible.
Faith is hot. After faith has become more of a habit than a fad, some wise forerunners begin to reflect on the correctness of the faith, however...... After all, they are only mortals, and all they think is what they can see.
If they don't confirm the existence of twilight with their own eyes and feel the horror of twilight, they can't realize how dangerous their world is.
It's like an egg on a thread. Even if you can barely maintain your balance now, as long as you roll, the possibility of inclined destruction will increase.
The experience of the Sage should have taught Roland a lesson. The human soul is free, even if Roland ties their faith to himself...... But there will always be a point where someone will try to rebel, to get the freedom of the soul, to see what the outside world is really like.
Curiosity is the greatest original sin of mankind. If we put it more colloquially, it is that there has never been a human being who does not die.
But it is this curiosity, this habitual death, that gives mankind the possibility to change the world.
So...... Instead of becoming the god of the human race, it is better to be their emperor.
In an instant, the runes of the Aum Wall appeared in Roland's eyes, as vast as a galaxy. But this vision lasted only a moment, and the eyes were drawn to the malice flowing in the air.
Looking over, Roland saw the familiar figure.
It is several kilometers tall and looks like a giant spinning top made of lava. It had no facial features, only a few large dim yellow hedron bulges about its head, and it had no hands, but there were countless dark red lines spreading out of its body.
These dark red lines are not very dazzling, they go deep into the ground, deep into the sky, and disappear into the void. The sky around it turned pure red, shimmering with a blood-like glow; The earth was boiled, and the flesh and black ice disappeared beneath its feet, all reduced to bright golden magma.
It was hot enough to turn a dead ground back into lava, even if it wasn't the stone and the earth below.
Even just looking at it, Roland felt a tremendous pressure that he had never felt before.
The malice is like boiling water, and just looking at it makes you feel your eyes burn.
Roland knew very well who this guy was.
If it comes in its entirety, even the Eye of Aum will not be able to kill it. Of the Seven Saints, only the Sleeping Master and the Lord of the Sword Throne can threaten its life.
Even before Roland's crossing, this guy hadn't been defeated by the Peace Council. Hatched six years later, it was far more terrifying than the Twilight Seed that the God of Truth and Terror had incarnated, even burning a third of the Underworld, and the rupture of the Wall of Aum was caused by its attack.
It is the only Demon Lord, the Firedemon Nockgar, the former Fire Elemental King and the father of the Sun, Nogars.
- It is the father of the sun! (To be continued.) )
