Chapter 1: Chaos Preface (1)
In the dark night, countless beautiful stars suddenly appeared.
The starlight, blue as water, depicts the towering torso of the World Tree, stretching out its spacious embrace across the sky, dotted in the endless night sky.
The stars shine brightly, carving out a whole new world in the dark night.
The magnificent World Tree Star Chart seems to be a silhouette left by that magnificent and ethereal miracle era hundreds of millions of years ago.
But even if it's just a wisp, it's enough to shock the world's mind.
His Holiness's black robe lifted slightly, just like his slightly fluctuating heart at the moment.
Only the blue starry sky in front of him could arouse his thoughts.
"Teacher, is it your descendant?" said the Venerable softly.
The people on the ground raised their heads and stared at the shining stars in the night sky, and they couldn't help but lose their minds for a while.
In the great plane, there is a saying that is widely sung among the strong: in the entire universe, there are only two things worthy of our awe, one is the starry sky above our heads, and the other is the law of our heart.
The origin of this famous saying is unknown, but it is firmly embedded in the history and mythology of countless planes, races, and kingdoms.
At this moment, witnessing the vast star curtain appearing in the sky, this sentence appeared in the minds of countless people for a moment.
......
Thousands of miles away, others sensed the vision that appeared in the sky above the desperate situation.
On the island of Xingjian Tafu, Kepler stares at the distant night sky, his eyes are very complicated.
"It turns out that you are a descendant of that person. The old legendary astrologer sighed softly.
Many years ago, he had seen the woman in white, and he had also seen the vast and vast star field behind her.
.......
Floating Island No. 1.
The landscape of the floating island is a vast desert.
Due to environmental factors, the temperature difference between day and night here is much larger than that of other floating islands.
When night fell, the cold air sank, and the icy night wind blew, rolling up a dementoring whistling sound on the desert.
However, even the sound of the wind could not hide the tinkling sound of the mountain in the distance.
The rich smell of metal flowed in the night breeze, and the sound of various machinery crashing against each other was deafening, like wind chimes swaying in the desert.
The tallest building on the hill, in a room at the top.
It is an alchemically inspired hall.
The floor of the room was filled with various test benches and alchemy machines, as well as many precision instruments of unknown purpose, magic reagents of different colors, and golem constructions.
Magical ingredients from all planes, such as Darkiron, Mithril, Bronze, Gems, and Crystals, are piled up in the corners, each of which is priceless.
At the top of the hall, there are floating weapons, swords, shields, armor, and staffs, exuding an extremely powerful magical aura, all of which are magical items above the legendary level.
An old and short mage was standing in front of the experimental table, waving his hands, using magic to manipulate various small mechanisms on the experimental table, carefully polishing an alchemical object.
The old mage had a bushy beard, sunken eyes, and a scruffy appearance, and his severed left hand was fitted with a gleaming silver metal prosthetic with magical runes engraved on it.
While he was busy working, the old alchemist suddenly raised his head, glanced at the sky, and sighed, his face as rigid as an old-fashioned pocket watch with a look of rare surprise and amazement.
The old alchemist slammed the button on the test bench.
With a bang, the door opened, and a young alchemist trotted in breathlessly, "Master Saintsmith, what are your orders?"
Master Hilbert, the old alchemist known as the Holy Craftsman and now the owner of the alchemy altar, solemnly instructed his apprentice: "I am leaving the floating island, and it will be a long time before I return, you can help me take care of the laboratory." ”
"Yes, Master Saintsmith. The young apprentice lowered his head, his expression was as respectful as usual, but his heart was really shocked.
As we all know, Hilbert, the holy craftsman, has not left the alchemy altar for half a century, and has been in charge of building various magical equipment at the headquarters for decades, indulging in alchemy experiments, and not asking about the world, even the once-in-a-decade Holy Land Conference is often absent.
What happened to alarm this old man who had no quarrel with the world?
"Where are you going, Saintsmith?" the apprentice asked.
"Void Desperate. ”
While the apprentice asked, Hilbert was already busy preparing supplies for departure.
The old alchemist turned off the test bench and took out a pebble-sized gemstone ring from his pocket, put it on it, and whispered a incantation.
The legendary items floating above the dome of the hall trembled for a moment, and then, like sentinels receiving orders, spun and lined up in a neat line, falling in a spiral, submerging into the spatial ring in the old mage's hand.
After cleaning up the most valuable "salute" in history, Hilbert waved his hand and pulled a glowing portal directly into the room.
Before leaving, the old mage seemed to remember something, picked up a small golden hammer from the test bench, and casually threw it in front of the junior apprentice, "If I don't come back this time, this laboratory will be handed over to you." ”
The young apprentice trembled as he picked up the glittering golden hammer, his fingers trembling in disbelief at what he saw.
Just a second ago, Hilbert actually handed over the token symbolizing the position of the saint craftsman directly to him?
While he was stunned, Hilbert had already stepped into the portal.
Immediately, the apprentice remembered the words that the old mage had left before leaving, and the shock and joy that swelled up in his heart turned into panic in an instant.
What's really going on on the battlefield of desperation?
......
The city of Olympia, the Great Temple of Radiance.
The Pope, who was resting in the meditation room, suddenly opened his eyes.
After a few moments, Innocent got up from his chair tremblingly and called for one of his most trusted white-robed priests.
"I'm leaving the temple. "If I don't come back in the next few days, don't say anything, just say that I need to recuperate." ”
The white-clothed priest who had served the Pope in the temple for half his life nodded, indicating that he understood, "Do you want to inform the Holy Maiden?"
Following the fall of Meron and the death of Drex, most of the affairs of the entire Holy See are now controlled by Diana, and even the person who presides over the pivotal opportunity has changed from the Pope to Diana.
"No need. As if thinking of something, the Pope shook his head, "That kid has enough to worry about now, and besides, it's just a private matter for an old man like me." ”
With that, the Pope disappeared from the meditation room.
The next moment, he appeared at the entrance to Heavenly Mountain, where the statues of epic heroes were placed.
There was already a man standing in the room.
It's Adam.
Adam stood with his hands in his hands, calmly staring at the statue of the paladin Paladin in front of him, with his back to the Pope.
Adam's back was blank, as if there was nothing.
But what appeared in the Pope's eyes were neat twelve wings, hidden in nothingness.
Three pairs of wings have awakened, emitting a dazzling halo, the aura of the divine and sublime echoing in the unseen dimension, and the other three are still asleep.
With only six wings, Adam's breath had already broken through to the realm of legends.
Once all six pairs of wings are awakened, what a spectacular spectacle it will be?
Seeing this man, the Pope sighed softly and humbly bowed his head.
In the eyes of the world, the Pope is the spokesman of the God of Light on earth, and there is no need to bow to anyone except the Lord.
But Innocent knew that, in terms of order, the person standing in front of him was the one closest to the Lord of Light in the dimensional universe.
Adam didn't turn around, his voice was as indifferent as water, "I came to take my former sword, but it seems to have been taken. ”
The Pope said, "With your strength, even if you don't need the Holy Sword, there is no one in the entire plane who is your opponent. ”
"That's right. ”
Adam agreed, "Those guys who can fight me are not in this plane now. ”
"It's hard to say, I'm afraid, I'm one of them. Innocent said with a smile.
Hearing this, Adam tilted his head slightly and glanced coldly at Innocent behind him, "You did it to me to save that little guy in Winterfell?"
The Pope nodded calmly, "If you're going to stand in my way, I'm sorry I can only do that." ”
"Your strength has not fully awakened, and I can trap you for a long time in this hall. ”
Adam said lightly: "The oracle is ineffective against me. ”
"It's nature. The Pope nodded, "So, I will not use the power of the Lord." ”
Adam glanced around and understood what the Pope meant.
Behind the Grand Temple of Radiance is Heavenly Mountain.
Paradise Hill is the resting place of the popes, in addition to the wisdom and collection of their lives, but also the magic they left behind.
The key to activating this part of the power is in the hands of the Pope.
Although Adam was powerful, he could not resist the full power of the popes until all the wings behind him were awakened.
"And, before I became a magician, I was also a good magician. Pope Francis said. "It's not as good as the child's mother, but it's not too much of a problem to fight with you now. ”
Adam said indifferently, "Is your faith in the Lord not worth your feelings for that woman?"
"I believe in the light. "The Pope's vicissitudes of life are unwavering," but sometimes, the Lord does not necessarily represent light. ”
"The Lord doesn't represent light, so who can?" Adam narrowed his eyes and asked lightly, invisible coercion permeating the hall.
The Pope stared intently at the man in front of him, his expression calm: "The light of the Lord means order, but the light in our human eyes is also synonymous with some other words, such as love, such as understanding. ”
Adam frowned.
In his previous life, when he was a paladin, he had rescued the civilians on this continent countless times, and at that time, he had also heard this word, but he had never been able to understand it.
What is love?
"When I was younger, I thought that Jesus loved the world. "But I later found out that this does not seem to be the case. ”
With that, the Pope bowed to Adam and walked slowly into the Heavenly Mountain.
Behind him, Adam was silent.
A moment later, a milky white light quietly rose from the top of the temple and flew towards the sky of Olympia.
