Chapter 143 order weaves the real name, and the ancient name reappears here
La mortinto estas preta por ricevi pli da ripozo.
With five fingers brushing his fingers over the horn made of rhino horns, Duke Goldsworthy looked out the window at the still glittering city of gold, and could not help but read the ancient words inscribed on it: "May the departed rest in peace...... May the departed rest in peace...... But I'm sorry......"
His lips pursed deeply, and the man's face was full of bitterness and helplessness.
A trumpet for mourners.
It is the name of the alchemical weapon in his hand, inherited from the early days of the ancient kings, and is one of the last lines of defense prepared by the previous city lords and high priests for Hemtika, whose intention is to confuse the boundaries between life and death by awakening the dead who sleep in this realm, so as to load the concept of "Valhalla" or "Shadow Country" on the basis of the triple city.
But failed.
Even if the top alchemists of the time were summoned and the alchemy array was engraved in the underground of Hemtika that was enough to dazzle anyone, it still failed to break through the shackles of the three cities, and only circled within the framework, such as the mourner's horn, which could awaken the dead at a critical moment, was already rare, no, it should be the only finished product that has been handed down now.
It's not so much a clarion call as an introduction.
A device to awaken the Alchemy Formation Array buried beneath Hemtika.
Blow the trumpet –
It is not the muffled sound of the horn that follows that works, but the act of "blowing" – a ritual act that activates the alchemy arrays throughout Hemtika like flipping a switch, and then directs the energy accumulated by the passage of time to rush towards the predetermined "Valhalla", thus awakening the dead who sleep there and bringing their decayed bodies back to life.
If it is a completed version of the "Heroic Spirit", it may be able to live forever in the world,
But it's a pity that Hemtika's inherent "Triple City" attribute is too stubborn, and the idea of "Shadow Country" was collectively rejected by the alchemists just after it was proposed, although the refining array of "Valhalla" was completed, it was always a semi-finished product under the constraints of Triple City, which could awaken the dead, but could not recall the soul, in the final analysis, what was awakened was just a walking corpse with no appearance, not only was it not a transcendent creature like a "Heroic Spirit" that could recall some of its previous memories to a certain extent, and its existence time was also extremely limited.
Although the lack of quality in terms of combat effectiveness can be compensated for by quantity, the desecration of the corpses of ancestors is simply unacceptable for the glorious descendants who worship their ancestors.
In addition, the alchemists speculated that because of the incompatibility with the Sanlian City, every time this half-finished "Valhalla" was activated, the underground refining array would collapse partially, and as long as it was used two or three times, it would be paralyzed for most of it, and it would not be possible to use it again without extensive overhaul and adjustment.
And now for the second time, and most likely for the last.
So Duke Goldsworthy activates all of the relatively well-preserved corpses of the Descendants of Glory since Valhalla was built.
Is it a thousand, or ten thousand?
It doesn't matter.
Yes, it doesn't matter.
The gaze droops slightly, and when the number exceeds a certain limit, no matter how large the number is, it is just a number.
Because, it's enough.
Death spreads like a tidal wave, the army of the dead is overwhelming, and the once invincible old family members cannot organize a decent resistance, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they come to the end in despair.
But the lord of Hemtika did not smile because of this.
He knew better than anyone that the temptation was not over until this moment, and that the war had only just begun.
The old family will never be so simple.
They don't just have more intelligence than demons.
So, Duke Goldsworthy waited, waiting for a counterattack from his old family.
- The wall of sighs can't stop it.
Just as the Silver City is destined to sink into the depths of the sea, so is the black iron of Hemtika, destined to sink into the dreams of Raleiye.
So, beat it here!
Even in the glory of Augustus—
He closed his eyes slightly.
The next thing that needs to be done is to wait, to wait for "it" to arrive.
"Click, click, click—"
On the outside of the wall, thousands of fine and crisp sounds converged in one place, countless icebergs rose and fell, and the entire frozen "continent" appeared one after another cracks, and then ...... With a loud bang, the whole world was split in two by a large, deep rift that led to the unknowable abyss.
Immediately afterward, the junction of the two "continents" rose high like mountains and rivers, and the extremely cold aura from under the abyss gushed out from it, forming a snow-white column of air.
Subsequently, condensation.
With it, shattered.
One hand—a humanoid, dark green, five-fingered, webbed hand between the fingers.
Penetrated the frozen "continent".
Then, the other hand.
Naturally, a larger-scale "geological" movement began.
The peace and tranquility of the past are gone, the world is plunged into turmoil and unrest, the fragments and wreckage of ice and snow are crumbling in all directions in more and more drastic changes, and under the heavy bass of destruction, a smooth, seemingly scaly, unsettling dark green mountain emerges from under the ice, and rises higher and higher in the "boom" "boom" and "boom" of the world, becoming the third highest peak of the "world" only under the wall of frozen waves and sighs.
Even so, the changes have not stopped, and the world beyond the walls is still sliding into the abyss of the unknowable.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang that shook the heavens and the earth, a large number of ice crystals flew everywhere, of different sizes and shapes, but the same sharp fragments as sharp as knives were inserted upside down on the ice, forming a large forest of ice crystals - this scene should have been very grandiose and magnificent, but compared to the scene above the sky, it was too delicate, fragile and petty.
Like a comet crashing into the sun.
Several, if not a dozen, of skulls the size of a dozen houses shattered the ice, pierced the clouds, and towered above the sky.
"Roar!"
After a huge roar that shook the sky, it patted its exposed snow-white belly, its large mouth opened, and it spat out a breath mixed with a large amount of crushed ice slag, and the super giant deep diver almost as high as the wall of sighs stepped out from under the ice, "boom" "boom", the extraordinary volume naturally brought extraordinary weight, and every step of the world inside and outside the wall was turbulent, and echoes from the depths of the world could be heard.
Though blocked by the wall of sighs and the darkness that seemed to be substantial, the movement that announced its arrival was so extraordinary that even the dullest and most ignorant of the Descendants of Glory realized that something was happening.
"Retreat, retreat. ”
It is a command that originates from the spiritual network and is transmitted to all the glorious ones at the same time.
As Duke Goldsworthy expected, the old family members who were able to break through the Silver City were not only the meager combat power at the moment, but also the extraordinary monsters beyond the walls of sighs whose life strength far surpassed that of ordinary species, and its existence was the foundation of those terrifying monsters that were half human and half fish.
The wall of sighs can't stop it, and the number of numbers probably doesn't mean much to it.
Moreover...... The forces of the dead have recovered.
There is no need to bleed the living.
The lord of Hemtika directs the retreat of the Glory through a spiritual network, but unfortunately the old family moves much faster than he expected.
"Boom!"
Glass shattered, stone chips splashed –
Not an illusion, the entire city of Hemtika shook several times.
The aftermath alone had caused a large number of Descendants of Glory whose physical qualities far surpassed those of mortals to fall, and many of the Late Awakens had not even realized what had just happened, and just stared blankly at their friends.
And then.
"Boom!"
There was another earth-shattering bang that shook the whole of Hemtika, and along with the collapse of the houses in pieces, cracks appeared in the wall of sighs that mortals could not cross!
The Wall of Sighs can't stop it!
Although no one could see the changes in the Wall of Sighs in the darkness, after experiencing the aftermath of the two attacks firsthand, all the Glory Ones had a faint thought.
It's just that...... It's a little worrying.
The third shock, which has not come for a long time -
Is something happening?
In the anxiety, some people couldn't help but think curiously, but what happened next shattered the last trace of luck in everyone's hearts.
The Deep Diver, who was almost as high as the Wall of Sighs, put his hands on the city wall, and a pair of scarlet eyes illuminated the darkness and dispersed the clouds like searchlights, and the Glory Ones on the ground who were like ants walking on the migration road seemed to sense the malice from the heavenly dome, and subconsciously reflexively looked at the sky behind them.
And so—
The malice that overflows transcends visual limitations and goes straight to the depths of everyone's soul.
They "saw" it, "saw" the malicious red pupil, and the hideous smile it revealed.
Deter!
A flash of malice is enough to tremble any battle-hardened Glory, and Gladys, who connects the spirits of all people, bears the unimaginable spiritual pollution.
- Click.
The girl subconsciously broke the strings in her heart, collapsed the spiritual network that was still contagious, spreading despair and madness, and then ...... After rolling his eyes completely unconsciously, he fell into a fainting.
In the blink of an eye, the army of the Glorious Ones showed signs of chaos!
Thankfully, the horrible monster that should not exist in the mortal world continued to show its form, and it let go of its hand and hid its form behind the Wall of Sighs and the ice again.
And then—
"Boom!"
Rocks flew through the rocks, and the earthquake trembled.
The third shock came as expected.
And what is even more terrifying is that above the supposedly unbreakable wall of sighs, a hand has appeared—a humanoid, dark green, five-fingered, webbed hand between the fingers.
Then take it back.
In the short but suffocating silence, the footsteps of "boom" and "boom" gradually faded away.
Is it to give up?
The Gloryers, who could not see the changes in the Wall of Sighs in the dim light, breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the hope that had been rekindled was extinguished in an instant—a louder footstep echoed throughout the world again, and the monster's footsteps not only stepped on the ice, but also on everyone's heart.
It's ......
Questions have just been raised, and there are answers.
"Bang!"
Like a great collision between heaven and earth, everyone lost their sense of hearing for a short time at this moment.
A sudden wind of madness swept across the land, and the collapsed houses, the march of the dead, and a few unfortunate glorious people flew upside down, and there was no sight of where they fell, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.
- No one cares if they live or die.
It is only because a greater crisis and a greater horror have appeared in front of them.
Wall of Sighs –
Was knocked out of a striking humanoid form.
The fish-headed monster with a similar body to a human stupefied its feet on the ground, and an invisible shockwave swept everything around it - it didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack the forces of the dead surrounding it in front of it, and under the fearful, timid, solemn, or curious gaze of everyone, it moved its somewhat stiff body unhurriedly.
The body is a little frozen.
It probably thought so, and then looked up to the sky and roared.
"Shhh
A low, hoarse voice pierced the sky, announcing its arrival.
thereupon
The true name of the law is established, and the ancient name that existed at the beginning of the establishment of order is revived.
The name is -
Hydra!
