Five hundred and four: The end of Oka and the choice of Romrose
In the underground hall under the Purple Mountain Loyal Sanctuary, Benoit looked around the hall, and there were countless statues inlaid on the walls, all of which were extremely beautiful maidens, condensed in various movements and expressions like living people.
He stood in the circle in the center of the hall, put a key-like magic guide into a device, and performed a few more operations.
Originally, it was slowly circulating on the magic circle, and the light connected to each statue became brighter and brighter, and gradually the entire hall revealed the veins of divine power flowing, like a silk net. The statue was like a slowly rotating vortex in the veins of light, and the black qi churned incomparably deep.
The divine power continued to pour in, causing the black gas vortex to begin to boil. The whole temple was in flux, and Benoit stretched out his arms and shouted, "Witches, wake up! Your suffering is coming to an end, and now is the time for revenge! Revenge on the city that has imprisoned you and oppressed you! Revenge on the whole world!"
The walls are like ice cracking, and the statues are bursting into stripes, overflowing with a rich black gas.
Benoit's figure faded away, and his low, twisted laughter echoed through the hall.
The Chapel of Loyalty was crowded with priests in various robes, all of whom had in common a fat-headed, big-eared and distracted gaze. Each person also dragged one or even several beautiful women, beautiful teenagers or different types of Warcraft pets, and talked to each other nervously.
Benoit spun out from behind the huge statue of the god Kem, and these people suddenly had a backbone, and they all shouted his name and asked about the situation outside.
To their consternation, Benoit did not reassure them as kindly and kindly as before, telling them that nothing should be feared, just a minor trouble. The thief named Romrose was not a threat, and the Kem cleric who threw himself at Romrose was either an insignificant grassroots member or an inside line that the cardinal had arranged long ago.
Benoit just sneered, and glanced at them with a strange gaze that was uncomfortable, like looking at the old and sick who had picked up the leftovers and were about to be sent to be "disposed of" in the slave market.
"Fools who have neither brains nor strength, you only deserve to be an appetizer before a meal......"
The hall fell silent suddenly, and consternation and despair rose in everyone's eyes.
"But you should be happy! It is a great honor that you can be the first sacrifice of the incense to perish!"
Benoit laughed: "Scream, curse, make this show even more lively!"
His figure gradually faded into obscurity amid laughter, and the thousands of people in the hall also boiled.
As they cursed Benoit and argued about the way out, the temple swayed, and the huge statue of the god Kaim burst into countless cracks, and black gas spurted out.
The screams sounded like a tide, and some of them reacted quickly, and their bodies flashed with warm white or blue brilliance, trying to use artifacts or magic guides to teleport away.
Each ball of light flashed, and then turned into a ball of blood. There was a constant popping sound in the hall, and in a moment hundreds of people were blown to pieces, smearing another part of the crowd that flocked to the temple gate with a layer of blood.
The floor of the hall exploded, spewing out streams of black gas, and vague figures condensed from the black air, like a dark version of the banshee, let out a shuddering howl, and pounced into the body of the living.
The skin of the person who was thrown turned black instantly, and the seven orifices spurted blood and minced flesh, which collapsed and twisted inward in a painful wail until it turned into a bloody ball of flesh.
Most of the people present were high-ranking clergy, and they still had the strength to resist despite the panic. They all cast divine techniques, expulsion techniques, purification techniques, divine grace techniques, and even holy light slashes, and the warm white light of the Dao struck in the black shadows that kept flying out, but it only made the black qi stagnate for a moment, turning gray for a moment.
Balls of flesh and blood wriggled in the black air, and the temple became like a purgatory of flesh and blood. Amidst the screams and the dense sound of flesh and bones cracking, the statue of Kem shattered with a bang, spewing out an even more violent black tide.
When the Purple Mountain's Loyal Sanctuary spewed out black gas, not many people paid attention to it, and millions of people stared at the sky in panic.
The light and shadow giant forced the black dragon back, but did not pursue, and seemed to be able to operate only in the inner city area. The black streaks are extending from the bottom to the entire body.
The dense barrier that enveloped the inner layer also revealed a trace of black streaks, and slowly expanded outward, and at the same time, the barrier that enveloped the entire incense, which protected the citizens and brought them countless conveniences, while absorbing the power of their faith, quietly dissipated.
On the coast outside the city of Fragrance, Benoit stepped out of an underground temple and looked out into the heart of the continent in the midst of great change.
A phanther figure appeared behind him, and he quickly turned to salute.
The phantom said, "Well done, Benoit, you have accurately grasped our intentions, and have fulfilled our purpose perfectly. From now on, you will be an apprentice to Ajent. β
Benoit was extremely excited, he tried to restrain the trembling of his body, and said regretfully: "The change is still too fast, our losses are too great, we have been operating in Erixiang for more than a thousand years, and too many assets have not had time to be transferred." β
"It doesn't matter, Benoit, Exo has completed its historical mission, it's time to annihilate in history with Benouin", said the Phantom, "There are indeed many things that even we didn't expect, but this is the change of eras, the liquidation of everything, the restart of the world." β
"Forget about Ika from now on, take your men with you, and go where you need to go, you know. β
Benoit bowed deeply again, and when he looked up, the phantom was gone, and he let out a long breath, threw one last look at Ika, and turned away.
..................
When Sunny finds Romrose, he is assembling troops in the central square of the outer city.
"I said Rollo, you're not stupid enough to rush inside with someone and think you can solve the crisis in front of you, right?"
Sunny jumped off her horse and shouted loudly, even when she was glared at by countless people who wanted to kill her countless times.
"Your Highness Sanny, it's great that you're back!"
Romerrose didn't mind at all, just was pleasantly surprised, and then said eagerly: "What's wrong? What's wrong with this? It seems that the monsters sealed by those guys under the purple mountain are active, and we can save the millions of citizens of Exoka by rushing in as soon as possible!"
"That's the air of corruption! Haven't you figured it out yet?"
Sunny reached out and tugged at his collar, obviously not tall enough, Rollo smiled bitterly and lowered his head to be grabbed by her, and then asked, "It sounds like your Highness is familiar to you, what is going on, does it have anything to do with your actions with Lucian?"
"Didn't Lucian and Grita come back?"
Sunny looked around, surrounded by Romrose's direct subordinates, not only these two people, but also their subordinates, and I didn't know whether to run away or avoid them for the time being.
"We're solving something else, and it's not about the matter at hand!"
She shouted and emphasized, "It's obvious now, those Edges...... No, the villain has given up on Ika! Get out of here with your people! Run as far as you can!"
"Gave up the ...... of Ika"
Romrose hadn't come to his senses yet: "Give up, give up, why do you want to do such a thing......?"
His eyes widened, and he finally understood: "Corrupt qi! Civilians will become living corpses, and the transcendent will lose their power......!"
He shook his head vigorously and said in horror: "How is this possible? How can this be!? There are millions of citizens here!"
Sunny sighed, "What's impossible? Those guys aren't philanthropists, they don't want to be fragrant, how can they leave it to others? As for the millions of citizens, they don't even care about the gods, how much difference is there between a million people and a million ants?"
Seeing that Romrose was still shaking his head, Sonny's tone became stern: "Romrose! Put away your weak heart! Now fate has sent you a multiple-choice question, do you want to die without your own strength, or save your strength to fight again in the future?"
Romerrose looked at her in astonishment, and then looked ahead: "But, but millions of citizens ......"
Sunny was about to speak, thinking of something, and her tone softened again, and asked with some curiosity and expectation, "Then what do you think?"
"I ......"
Romulos swallowed his saliva, looked at the black dragon Mirapoos who was probing in the clouds in the distance, a wisp of aftertaste flashed in his eyes, and he struggled: "This is the disaster I brought to them, and it is my duty to save them." β
"But you can't save them all", Sunny said calmly, "the people in the barrier are no longer saved, and the places that have not been covered by the barrier, those people may not be able to save you, what are you going to do Romrose?"
Romroth's hand rested on the weapon at his waist, "Can't you really rush in and destroy the source of the corrupting qi?"
Sunny looked away and said, "At least I can't, of course it doesn't mean you can't, maybe Emperor Tudor is protecting you?"
There was silence, save for the rough wheezing of Romrose.
After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not afraid of sacrifice, but this is not my mission, I have more important things to do." β
"Yes, to build a new world of peace, tranquility and happiness," Sunny sighed, with mixed feelings, not knowing whether to regret or rejoice.
Romrose's gaze cleared, and his words became powerful: "Thank you, Your Highness Sunny, for calming me down. β
He turned to his subordinates: "Gather everyone to get out of the incense at once!
Sunny asked, "So ...... citizen?"
"I have a way, of course I can't avoid some sacrifices, but this is the price that must be paid", he shouted: "Mirapoos!"
The black dragon pounced and cautiously landed on Romrose's side, keeping plenty of distance from Sunny Ny. Even so, it still seems cringe.
Romulos said, "Go and breathe fire in the direction of the barrier extension, and drive the citizens out of the city, you know what to do?"
The black dragon let out a low, excited laugh: "How could you not know? β
"Try not to hurt people," Romulos said, "unless you have to." β
"I know how to be measured, merciful master", the black dragon couldn't help but sneer, and Sunny next to him snorted coldly, and quickly added: "Absolutely not!
The black dragon spread its wings and rose into the air, and Sunny looked at Romulrose fixedly, until she looked at the latter in confusion, and then sighed: "Sure enough, people who can carry an extraordinary mission have a heart of stone. It's not like a certain guy, if you want to replace him, either a cowardly sasser runs away and does nothing, or stupidly sacrifices his life and rushes in. β
Romeros was a little uneasy: "Your Highness, I ...... Did you do it wrong?"
"I have no right to judge what you do, let alone judge you," said Sunny, "From my personal point of view, you have done a very good job, and Theresia who solved the Corruption crisis in Conrad City was not as good as you, at least in terms of how much to pay...... Open-minded, you care more about the end result. β
"Isn't it natural to pursue results?"
Romerrose was a little puzzled: "Isn't what we do for a result?"
Sunny smiled faintly, "Yes, but what do we do when we never see results?"
Seeing that Romulus was stunned again, she waved her hand and said, "Okay, it's just nonsense, don't take it personally, let's leave quickly, by the way, what about Thewins?"
She ...... I didn't adapt to the current situation and went back to the barracks outside the city", Romulus was a little gloomy at first, and then relieved: "It's really lucky, she is not in the city." β
"Will luck always be with you?"
Sunny said very seriously: "Why don't you give her to me first, and when you think you can give her a stable and happy home, I will give her to you." β
Romrose said without hesitation, "Thank you for your kindness, I can protect her." β
Sunny tilted her head, "Really?"
Romrose froze for a moment, looking a little struggling, and finally bit his lip and said, "If I can't even protect her, how can I create a new world?"
"Rollo, as a friend, I give one last piece of advice", said Sonny, "Lucian, and Grita, they ......"
"I know!"
Romrose was a little irritated: "I know they have ulterior motives, and I know that I was able to gather such a large team so quickly, and they were secretly pushing, and they may be the dark side of the gang of Rakka." β
He shook the weapon on his waist again, and said resolutely: "But I can deter them and transform them into a new order! The emperor is protecting me, and the emperor is with me!"
He looked at Sunny again: "Actually, aren't you the same as them, they are all helping me to be a pawn, and it seems that your origin is not only as simple as a saint, but even Mirapouos is so afraid of you." β
"Wrongedββ!"
Sunny cried out aggrievedly, "I'm a saint now!
Romulos smiled faintly, looking like he had seen through her, making her scratch her head embarrassedly: "Okay, there are indeed some things hidden from you." But other things aside, personally, I do see you as a friend, at least ......"
She patted the little ash next to her: "You gave me the little ash, thank you very much." β
"Is that all?"
Romulos smiled bitterly, and the slightest bit of heart dissipated, this Holy Highness will always be so unpredictable.
Sunny got on the horse neatly: "What should be done has been done, what has been said has been said, and I should say goodbye to you...... I said goodbye to you. β
Romerrose was reluctant: "You're leaving?"
Sunny waved her hand, "We'll meet again in the future, but of course it won't be what it is now." β
Holding the reins of the horse, the silver gray dragon horse galloped away, and vaguely heard Sunny shouting: "Didn't let you start in third gear! Although this is indeed very handsome, can't you breathe in advance!?"
Romroth let out a deep sigh as he watched the centaurs go, and then looked at the black dragon in the distance that was skimming the air and breathing fire, and the sigh became heavier again.
