478 The fall of the empire
Such a domineering and cruel declaration is probably only said by the first emperor of the dignified Magic Empire, and it is believed by others.
If Gordon said such a thing, others would not only not feel his domineering spirit, but would also treat him as a psychopath.
All in all, Asaph. His Majesty Augustus relied on his charisma to increase the loyalty of the quasi-god Pensa to 100, and has since followed him for thousands of years.
Penza said all this to Gordon, of course, not just to tell him a secret story about the history between the two empires during the Third Age.
Since Pensa is the initiator of this illusion, then the emperor he faithfully serves is obviously the creator of this illusion.
"So, Asaph. What exactly does Augustus want to do in this fantasy world? Ever since I came to the Haiwen Peninsula and came into contact with the people of Aikan, you have done everything possible to leave all kinds of information to guide me to the Vesura, and what is the purpose of it? Me and Asaph. Is there any special relationship with Augustus? โ
Gordon asked. Although Pensa's words just now solved a problem. But he still had a lot of puzzles in his mind waiting to be solved. Even after listening to Pensa's story, many new questions arose in his heart.
This state of being full of question marks is really irritating.
"Don't worry, Mr. Freeman. I can answer some of your questions, but there are some that can only be answered by the master himself. Three days at most, he will also come into this world. I promise. Your curiosity will be satisfied. โ
Penza was still enjoying the tea. The only sound in the room was the sound of tea drinking, which lasted for a full ten minutes. This quasi-god, who has an infinite lifespan and is never in a hurry, continued: "Before solving a qiฤ problem, you can listen to another historical story......
The old man's eyebrows were raised slightly, and the wrinkled lines on his face were also elongated, and his face was stern: "What I want to say." It's Asaph. The death of His Majesty Augustus. โ
Asaph. Although Augustus was the founding emperor of the Magic Empire of Netherduran, he was not in love with power. One hundred and twenty years after his rule, imperial rule has been firmly established. Development is on the right track, and a reasonable and stable rights system has been created. As a result, the Elemental Emperor poured all his efforts into building a giant floating city, which is now known as Mount Wesula. Then abdicate. took his harem concubines and servant retainers to live in seclusion.
Every year, he recruits a group of talented arcanists to study in the Floating City, and sometimes on a whim, he also attends several magic classes himself. Other than that, this Elemental Emperor didn't have much to do with the worldly empire.
Then, thousands of years passed, and the gears of history turned to the end of the empire.
"Gordon. Mr. Freeman. Do you know how empires ruined miรจ? โ
About why the once-glorious Magic Empire of Netherduran suddenly collapsed. There are many opinions, but none of them is universally agreed upon by contemporary historians.
"Felin Demon Aoi?"
Hearing Gordon mention this powerful monster that everyone in the modern spell casters talk about, Penza looked disdainful: "Hmph, how great is the empire, how can it be ruined by these ugly things? โ
After a pause, he added, "Yes, Felin Demon Kwai is tricky. This creature is evil and cruel, there are many of them, not only are they excellent mages, but they also have the special ability to absorb the life source energy in the living organism, as well as the free source energy in nature. At that time, the war between the Empire and the Ferin Demon Kwai was indeed a headache for many Grand Arcanists. But so what? Every day, the Grand Arcanists of the Empire have ninety headaches, if not a hundred. The plague of Fei Lin Demon Aoi is just a piece of ringworm on the Empire's body. โ
"I can't really guess that. After all, other legends about the sudden destruction of the Nether Empire are even more absurd. Gordon spread his hand and said helplessly.
"Actually, you personally experienced the natural disasters that destroyed the Magic Empire of Nesserduran twice a while ago."
Natural disaster? Have you experienced it twice?
Gordon's mind flashed and he said, "You mean, Source Energy Tide?" โ
"That's right. It's just that the source energy tide that the Empire destroyed overnight was three hundred times stronger and a hundred times more powerful than the two times you experienced on the Haiwen Peninsula. โ
With such a huge tide of source energy, all magic items in the empire, from the small lamp to the large Mithor core, were all invalidated due to source energy overload. The floating city began to fall, and the various ferocious monsters imprisoned in the real yร n room lost their restraints......
At that time, 80% of the entire population of the empire was spellcasters. Two-thirds of these people were affected by the source energy tide, and the magic power in their bodies went out of control and died instantly. The surviving casters are either top-notch Arcanists who are strong enough to resist the effects of the Source Tide, or low-level casters who are weak enough to be affected by the Source Tide.
And the elite arcanist class that really supported the operation of the empire died in the catastrophe of the source energy tide.
The Grand Arcanists who have survived the tide of source energy can only barely protect themselves and stay away from the chaos of the Empire. And other ordinary imperial people who don't know how to do magic are powerless to restore order in the country, let alone resist those hostile forces that take advantage of the situation.
The only good news is that Fei Lin Demon Kwai also exploded and died in this unheard-of super giant source energy tide, and was genocided.
This source energy tide, which is not recorded in the history books, destroyed the glorious Magic Empire of Netherduran, and also drew an end to the third era "Ofa Period".
However, Asaph, who has the title of the strongest arcanist in Nether. Augustus, apparently one of the Nessers who survived this catastrophe. After his floating city fell on the Haiwen Peninsula, the Elemental Emperor slowly searched for materials and repaired important facilities in the chaotic world behind the source tides, while continuing his great research - discovering and mastering the power of destiny, and then becoming a god.
Then, time flies, and in the year of Jinyang - 918 of the Fourth Age, that is, twenty years ago, the Elemental Emperor His Majesty capsized in the gutter and was attacked and died.
At that time, he had just completed a great magical practice, and was in a state of extreme weakness due to the great exertion. And his murderer is one of the three dark gods, Mephisto, the god of hatred - the god of evil formed by the corpse after death.
The gods are powerful monsters born out of mistakes and coincidences, twisted and terrifying, with divine powers but no divinity. Their sole purpose of survival is to destroy miรจ qiฤ and project their own pain onto the entire multiverse.
There are many ways for this kind of monster to be born, and the corpse of a god after death, after some special changes, will also become a god.
As already said, Asaph. Augustus wanted to become a god, and he was a god who did not follow the usual path. So he wanted to go to the field to find out what the gods were, what kind of characteristics they had, and how they differed from mortals.
And if he wanted to do that, he couldn't have gone to a god and said, "Take off your clothes and let me dissect it with a scalpel, and I'll give you a stipend afterwards." โ
As the pretentious, arrogant Grand Arcanist of Nether, Asaph. Augustus chose the simplest and most brutal method: kill a god and drag its corpse back for dissection.
At the time, the Dark Trio was engaged in a civil war between brothers as usual. So His Majesty the Elemental Emperor used a little trick and quietly attacked and killed Mephisto, who had just been wounded by his brother. After obtaining the corpse of the God of Hatred, His Majesty Augustus did benefit greatly.
But later, as his research deepened, he suddenly changed his mind and didn't want to be the god of fate. As a result, His Majesty sealed all the previous research results, and then devoted his energy and resources to new research topics.
"This majesty is really casual...... If you have a whim, you will do it, and if you are not interested, you will give up and give up, without a little entanglement. Gordon sighed.
"You can afford it, you can put it down. This is one of the many good qualities of the owner. โ
But Asaph. Although Augustus gave up his attempt to become the god of fate, the corpse of Mephisto, the sequelae of this reality, gradually mutated into a deadly cancer.
Decades later, in the darkened dimensional warehouse, the corpse of the God of Hate was transformed into a god, and he seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the weakened Elemental Emperor, killing him - just as he had killed himself in a sneak attack.
In a sense, this can be regarded as a report and a report.
However, before he died, the Elemental Emperor's counterattack almost wiped out the gods. Moreover, although the Elemental Emperor died physically, his soul still existed, and he was always preparing to be resurrected with the help of Penza. This was twenty years, until Gordon came to the Haiwen Peninsula.
"Wait...... You mean, Asaph. The resurrection of His Majesty Augustus, has something to do with me? โ
"Yes."
"You expected me to come so early?"
"Nope." Pensa shook his head, "It's a pure coincidence. In fact, the master's resurrection plan has already been prepared, and he is just waiting for the arrival of the source energy tide and the huge amount of source energy provided. However, after I met you, I discussed it with my master and changed my plan temporarily. After all, young man, you have a special relationship with the owner. Allowing you to join in will not only do more with less, but also kill multiple birds with one stone. โ
"I have a special relationship with the Elemental Emperor? No, isn't it ......?"
Seeing Gordon's expression, Pensa smiled and shook his head: "You are not a descendant of your master. You should know that the stronger the mage, the more difficult it is to have offspring. Although the master has dozens of concubines, he has never had children. (To be continued......)
