Chapter 136: Immortality
Immortality is something that human beings have always been unable to ask for.
St. Gosya used her power to open the first door to immortality for mankind, and she was worshipped as a god. And the second person to discover the key to immortality was Medea. Using Phoenix's immortal ability as a guide, infuse it into the human body, so as to share the life force of Phoenix...... This may sound simple, but it can be extremely expensive.
There are countless individuals who have failed, and even Duolun, who was once known as the Holy Son, is only a half-finished product of the experiment.
He inherited some of Phoenix's powers, but he couldn't continue that endless life force.
Rather than Medea being a slave of Phoenix, their relationship is more apt to describe as a mentor. Phoenix taught her how to control her abilities, and she also learned how to control people's hearts from the other party. Medea said that the real long-lasting rule is ideological.
Medea ruled Leorea in the Pope's way, and Phoenix, after fleeing, also used what Medea taught her to make contact with King Ryan of the Kingdom of Taron and secretly took control of that kingdom.
In fact, the prince of Leorea was not a flawless success. He and Duoren are two extremes, he can keep Phoenix's endless life force in his body, but he can't manipulate Phoenix's fire power. Aside from immortality, his physique is not much stronger than that of ordinary people.
When Medea made a pact with Phoenix to return to the kingdom as promised, it was already after the coup d'état.
At that time, the prince was blind and dying. Medea infuses Phoenix's life force into him and continues his life, but also begins the prince's never-ending nightmare. Eternal life brings eternal pain, Medea brought him eternal kingship according to the promise, and the kingdom he once dreamed of was in front of his eyes, but he couldn't see it, and his former longing turned into fear and anxiety little by little.
He wants to end it all, but he finds that he doesn't have the strength to end this nightmare.
Life in Phoenix brings not only longevity, but also the ability to be immortal. Even if his body is burned to ashes by the flames, he will still come back after the flames have dissipated.
Finally, one day, the prince had an idea.
Leorea is the source of all his nightmares, he cannot end eternal life, but he can end this eternal kingship. So, without Medea's knowledge, he launched a great conscription, bringing the people of Leorea to an end. He was told that as long as there was a crack in the source of Medea's power, she could no longer control people's minds and rule with illusions.
It was a man who appeared on a full moon night, dressed like a grim reaper.
"That's you, bastard!"
Lin Qiu and Brecht alone gave the unconscious Oberdine a kick.
Lin Qiu understands the Chaos Sect's way of action, they are pervasive, once evil thoughts are born, they will wait for an opportunity to move, and use the evil thoughts of the superior to achieve their own goals. This was true of the kingdom of Talen, the entire East, and now Leorea. The sound of earth-shattering battles in the distance was endless, and the raging fire burning on the city wall made Lin Qiu feel a little creepy.
Suddenly, he understood the meaning of the "chessboard" in Sith's mouth.
It wasn't Oberdeon or Kroll who really did the trouble, but the desires of the rulers, and as long as they wanted something, they had fallen under the control of the Chaos Cult. King Ryan longs for the kingdom and Prince Dima longs for supreme power, and they use these to infiltrate the nations.
And when these desires and evil thoughts come together, strife comes.
"What about Medea?" Phoenix's voice looked a little weak.
"I've gone to the Holy Capital. ”
Lin Qiu's answer shocked Phoenix's heart, she didn't care about her body that was not yet fully adapted to the power of the dragon soul, and said, "Go and stop her!"
She knew Medea, so she understood that the other party was very different from the fire dragon Leorea.
Defend the kingdom with dreams, keep the power of nightmares out of the walls, establish the Cult of the Sacred Birds, and liaise with neutral countries throughout the year as the Pope...... What she did was not well-intentioned, it was just a by-product of her quest for what she wanted.
This kingdom is not the result of Medea's good intentions, so everything has become an obstacle in Medea's quest, and she will not hesitate to destroy it.
"You mention that Oberdeon did raise Medea before she was hammered out by me, and she withdrew the power to maintain the illusion barrier. ”
"It's too late if you don't go!" Phoenix pulled Lin Qiu's hand and urged.
"Wait a minute. ”
Unexpectedly, Lin Qiu suddenly stopped.
He looked over his arm and noticed that there was something strange on the back of the arm that was tugging at him—smooth and delicate, but it looked like scales or something.
"I just wanted to ask, who are you?"
He stared at "Phoenix" for a long time, only to see that she had two pairs of red shiny horns on her head, her red hair had grown a lot, and there was a red mark similar to a magic rune at the center of her eyebrows, and "Phoenix's" wide eyes showed a look that was even more inexplicable than Lin Qiu.
The two pairs of dragon wings behind "Phoenix" were spread, as if to express the doubts in their hearts. Often the tail is dragged on the ground, and the whole person looks full of bewitching beauty.
"I'm Phoenix!"
"You're Phoenix?"
"You probably didn't have some kind of dark brain injury when you fought with Oberdeon?" "Phoenix" stretched out his hand and touched Lin Qiu's head, and Lin Qiu also more intuitively felt the cold touch of the dragon scales.
"No...... right"
Lin Qiu pondered for a while and said, "It's not so much that you devoured the dragon soul, this appearance clearly means that you were devoured by the dragon soul!"
"Less verbose!"
Phoenix gave Lin Qiu a blank look: "Do you think the power of the fire dragon is so easy to digest?"
If I had to say it......
She should be in the stage of "indigestion" by now.
Due to the devouring of too much power for a while, a considerable part of the power of the fire dragon was hoarded in her body, and these excessive powers changed her appearance to a certain extent.
Phoenix pointed his index finger, and the condensed fireball flew towards the closed dome in an instant, breaking through a space that stabbed into the cliff.
"Don't make me mistake, Medea is not a monster who loves humans, she is also a monster who called for wind and rain in the first Demon Tide War! The reason why I came here at that time was also to steal Leorea's power, but I didn't expect the seal to be too strong, and it was counterattacked by the dragon soul...... The only thing that that guy really likes is that prince, and if the people of Leorea turn their swords against the prince, she will definitely kill them!"
