The city of Ekhtadon, the royal court.

In the center of the quiet and unoccupied study, the air suddenly rippled in circles and grew in amplitude, cracking into countless cracks in less than a second, and then shattering like a mirror. With countless faded and vanished fragments, Evan's figure carrying a suitcase quickly became clear, and he walked out of the broken 'mirror' and walked straight to the closet.

Buzz——!

He waved his hand to remove the closet that was clinging to the wall, and stepped through the secret door behind the closet into the secret room that was dark all year round.

The moment the secret room opened, a pair of hideous eyes lit up in the darkness, like glowing rubies, illuminating all the details in the secret room. The owner of the eyes is a monster that resembles a dragon-shaped relief and is dark green throughout.

"My friend. ”

Seeing Ivan walk into the door, the pupils of the dragon-shaped stone statue began to flicker violently, and at the same time, a rough and hoarse voice sounded: "I can feel the power of the charm, you have already found them, haven't you? According to the agreement, you should give them to me!"

"I've always been a man of words. ”

Ivan opened the suitcase and displayed the twelve charms placed inside in front of the other party:

"Look, are these the charms you've always dreamed of?"

"Yes, yes, these are my charms. ”

The Holy Lord's eyes were fixed on the spell, his voice suddenly became high-pitched and sharp, and the stony body suddenly released a majestic pressure, and there seemed to be visible ripples in the air, causing the entire secret room to tremble violently. The massive soul power centered on the stone statue surged wildly, causing dark red arcs of electricity to wash through the air like a waterfall, making a crackling explosion.

"That's good. ”

Ivan nodded, then closed the suitcase in its salivating eyes and held it at his side with his left hand:

"Since the spell is real, where is my reward?"

"Of course!" The Holy Lord's pupils flickered, and he let out a low chuckle, "According to the agreement, I will tell you the mysteries of the advanced apostolic realm. ”

"Say yes beforehand. ”

Evan interrupted it and said in an accentuated tone, "If you want to tell me that the achievement of the apostle body must be achieved with the help of energy keys and the like, and there is no nourishment nonsense, forget it." ”

"No, no, no, my friend, I swear I know more than you do. ”

The Holy Lord stared at the suitcase with a straight gaze, as if he could overflow the fire, and said in an impatient tone, "Just give me the charm, and I will tell you a unique secret...... Absolutely great value for money!"

"That can't be. ”

Evan didn't go around in circles with it, and said bluntly:

"Tell me first, and then the spells are all yours. Otherwise, you're ready to stay here until the end of the world!"

“......”

After maintaining a moment of silence, the Holy Lord knew that he had no initiative, so he could only sigh and choose to take the initiative to admit it:

"You won, my friend. ”

"In that case, you can just say it. ”

"From what you just said, you already know the existence of the Energy Key. But I'll tell you, it's not what you think it is—the code that will help you crack the will of the universe and spy on the power of the apostles. The Holy Lord retracted the energy force field released from the outside and said calmly.

"What's that?" said Ivan with a stir in his heart.

"This is to explain the source of the apostolic power......"

When he said this, the eyes of the Holy Lord suddenly became deep, as if he had traveled to hundreds of millions of years ago:

"In the distant Golden Age, when the Terra civilization was at its peak, the Terra people discovered a mysterious and powerful power in the unknown territory of the universe through long-term exploration. This mystical power hovers in the void and actively seeks a host, and once recognized, it receives the wisdom of the sage and the power of the god of war, whom the Terra call the beginning of all things and the source of will. ”

"Combined with this mystical power, the Terra civilization has finally created the strongest sixth-order power, which they have named the power of Beyana, and those who have been recognized for this power have become artificial gods in the minds of the Terra people, known as 'Beyana who shines with golden light'. ”

"This force is extremely powerful, and it can completely suppress the Menes civilization and the Asa civilization, which both belonged to the Golden Civilization at that time, and even the Infinite Divine Curse, which both belonged to the sixth-order power, could only barely compete with it. Because of this, the Terra people regard it as a true sixth-order power, while other power systems are pseudo-sixth-order. ”

Hearing this, Ivan's eyes flashed slightly, and his memory returned to the time before the Dragon War, when Helde used the energy key to tempt him.

At that time, in the process of introducing the power of the apostle, Herder showed a kind of arrogance from the heart in his words - and declared that the power of the apostle was the real sixth-order power, and everything else was a pseudo-sixth-order.

Could it be that the second apostle has anything to do with the Terra civilization?

But at this moment, he didn't have time to think deeply, but continued to listen patiently with bated breath.

“...... Although the Terra civilization is powerful, it cannot avoid the fate of extinction, and like countless powerful empires in human history, they eventually fell due to a civil war when they could not be destroyed by outside forces. The exact details are unknown, but all in all, Beyana seems to have betrayed the Terra civilization...... That civil war also brought the Golden Age to an end. ”

"When the Terra civilization was destroyed, the Menes civilization, which was severely damaged by Ragnarok, also took its last breath, and the Aesir civilization, which relied on the Menes civilization, came to an end at the same time. Since then, human civilization has entered a long dormant period, and it was not until the rise of the Kashni Federation that it recovered. ”

When he said this, the Holy Lord seemed to be on the wrong topic, and consciously or unconsciously regarded the Kashni civilization as orthodox, I don't know if he was deliberately angry with someone.

"They're just lucky! If it weren't for the civil strife in the Light that split the Menes civilization...... Where is the turn of the Kashni to dominate!" Although he knew that the other party was deliberately disgusting, Ivan was still angry.

The Menes civilization has continued from ancient times to the present, and it has not been interrupted in terms of bloodline and culture, and it can be said that it is rooted in the sprouts. If the Terra civilization did not discover the so-called beginning of all things, the source of the will, and created the power of Beana, it would be safe to kneel and lick the gods.

The Kashni Federation is just an upstart who picked up the dregs of the Terra civilization and took the shit luck, and it has nothing to do with the Terra civilization from bloodline to culture, so what qualifications do you have to be the orthodoxy of human civilization!?

"Wait, aren't you going to explain to me the source of the apostle's power?" Ivan found himself being taken into rhythm and hurriedly got the conversation back on track.

"The so-called apostolic power is the power of Beana...... As a man-made god, Beyana may be destroyed, but the source of will will always exist. Losing a host is nothing more than returning to the Void, waiting for the next successor...... And the key to energy that you know is actually the key to the source of the will. ”

The Holy Lord now has a request for others, at most it is just secretly arching the fire, and as soon as Evan reminded it, it immediately returned to the right track:

But this does not mean that if you get the energy key, you can become a host of the apostle's power. Sources of Will are extremely demanding on their hosts, and they will only select the strongest immortals to become hosts...... The nine apostles today were already the best of the immortals before they advanced to the apostle realm!"

"In that case, there are twelve types of so-called energy keys, and now there are nine apostles, which means that they have occupied nine positions...... There are only three positions left!" Thinking of this, Evan suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

"No ......"

The Holy Lord denied his speculation, and then emphasized his tone, revealing the ultimate secret: "In fact, the power of the apostles is not only twelve, but thirteen! According to what I know, the destruction of the Terra civilization should be closely related to the thirteenth source of will. ”

"Is there a big difference between twelve and thirteen?"

Evan didn't care about this, and he wasn't interested in exploring the mystery of Terra's demise, he only had the power of the apostle in his heart now: "No matter how many copies there are, it doesn't matter to me, what matters is whether you have the energy key or not!"

"It's a pity. There was a hint of embarrassment in the Holy Lord's eyes.

"No, well, the twelve charms are gone. ”

"Wait!Wait!Wait!" Hearing this, the Holy Lord suddenly became anxious, and said as quickly as he could:

"It doesn't matter if you have an energy key or not, have you forgotten? The source of the will will take the initiative to choose a host! You must know that none of the current Nine Ambassadors and disciples have advanced by relying on the energy key! With the energy key, it just gives you a shortcut to take advantage of it, and even makes your strength weaker than the other apostles!"

"So what am I supposed to do? wait here?" Ivan looked it up and down, skeptical.

"Yes, just wait!"

After saying this, the Holy Lord was afraid that he would be unhappy and turned around and left, so he hurriedly added:

"As time goes by, the universe's rejection of you will become stronger and stronger, you must persevere, you must not seal yourself! This rejection will eventually turn into a substantial energy impact, if you can resist the final rejection, you will be chosen by the apostolic power. Assuming you behave well enough, this process will be advanced!, but as a friend, I must remind you that there are nine Apostles in the known universe, but there are only five Immortals, including me and you...... Because everyone else's challengers are dead. ”

"Yes......"

Evan nodded suspiciously, then closed his eyes and used his consciousness to communicate with the Dragon King and Shylock, asking them about the secrets of the Advanced Apostles. After receiving the same answer, he reopened his eyes, picked up his suitcase and walked to the Holy Lord:

"Although these secrets are not as useful as I thought, at least you told the truth and the spell was returned to you. ”

As the words fell, his hand holding the suitcase shook slightly, causing the twelve spells to bounce high, and then shot along the parabola towards the Holy Lord.

"My power!"

The Holy Lord's eyes showed an incomparably fanatical look, and the dragon-shaped body appeared in twelve octagonal hollow grooves between the flashes of light, and the moment the twelve spells fell on him, he arranged them into rings in a specific order, and then inhaled them into his body at the same time.

"Oooo

With a low dragon roar, dark red arcs rose from the Holy Lord's body, and the stone body suddenly writhed, and as it spiraled forward, his body was also rapidly deformed, from relatively slender to thick, and finally turned into a half-human, half-dragon posture and stood in front of Evan.

From Ivan's point of view, the True Body of the Holy Lord looked like a monster with a human body dragon, and his eyes were red and shining, like congealed rich plasma. The head is shaped like a burning flame, with four pairs of blade-shaped dragon horns growing symmetrically on the left and right, the face is hideous, the mouth is like a crocodile, and the tongue is like a snake, and the overall characteristics are almost indistinguishable from that of a monster, with a strong body and tall body, dark green and yellow complexion, and strong lower limbs and claws like a tyrannosaurus.

"It's recovered! It's been restored!

The Holy Lord straightened up, raised his hands above his head, and stretched his waist happily: "For so many years, I can't even stretch my waist! Blood flows in my body, my heart beats strongly, and my muscles wrap around my bones and stretch and deform...... It's such a wonderful feeling!"

"Are you leaving?" Evan asked with great interest, looking at the Holy Lord who was so excited that he got carried away.

"Of course!" I can't wait to get out of here and see the outside world," it replied without hesitation.

"Well, let's go. Ivan then turned sideways and got out of the way.

Seeing his posture, the Holy Lord didn't dare to leave, and looked at him with a suspicious gaze:

"Are you really willing to let me go, don't you want me to do something for you?"

"If you want to stay, I'm warmly welcome, but if you want to go, I won't make it difficult for you. Speaking of this, Ivan seemed to think of something, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes:

"If you don't mind, I want you to spread the word for me. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"Let's just say that the Second Apostle Tears Helde has the transfer magic, and she will use this secret technique to weaken the Apostles, causing them to fall one by one. Ivan explained simply.

In fact, he had planned to have the news spread in a few days, so that he would be disgusted by Herder. However, if this kind of words come out of your own camp, it is estimated that it will be regarded as malicious slander, resulting in a greatly reduced effect. Now, for a neutral immortal, the effect might be a little better.

"It's a trifle, promise you nothing. ”

The Holy Lord nodded, indicating that there was no problem, and then looked at him hesitantly: "But you are so blatantly against the apostles, are you really not afraid of death?"

"The world has changed...... When you get in touch with the outside world, you'll understand what I mean. ”

Evan turned around, turned his back to it and left the secret room first, and said lightly: "As for betrayal, I don't really care about it - now my strength is far greater than before, no matter where you flee, I can find you and kill you." ”

Since the Dragon War, it is no secret that he has the Gauntlet of Judgment, and I believe that the Holy Lord will definitely make a rational judgment when he learns this.
