Chapter 162: Prelude to the Great Era (Finale)
It seems that as the peace agreement was presented to Archduke Jon, a lot of things began to come to the surface.
"Whew-"
A foul-smelling wind violently blew across the northernmost plains of the Principality of Sephi, and a black-purple dragon figure with an ominous aura all over its body quickly skimmed across the horizon, leaving a shadow of fear in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to witness it.
"Yanlong is on top, even such a terrible monster can be used by the Yanlong Church, it seems that our Falkenridge is really going to rise from now on, hahaha......"
On the ground, several orc soldiers who had always been known for their courage couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva after seeing the figure of the evil dragon, and laughed dryly to give themselves courage.
It's not because they're the best guys, it's because they're ...... That dragon really made a very deep impression on them!
Not far from these soldiers, there was a group of stone statues standing.
There are not many of them, about twenty or so, but no matter which one of them seems to be vivid, not only the frightened expressions, the desperate eyes, but also the subtle textures of the clothes, the lines on the skin that are difficult to see the naked eye, are accurately depicted, if this is just a work of art, I am afraid that it will set off a frenzy of dark style in the art world - but all the soldiers, the essence of these stone statues is well understood.
The city has been engulfed in darkness from the depths of chaos. Three days ago, the Great General Salamondo, together with Raja, the Grand Imam of the Yanlong Church, selected a full hundred soldiers with strong psychological qualities and extremely strong beliefs, asked them to take a special potion, and told them to go on a top-secret mission with a strong person in the church.
Then, the soldiers, who were confused but still obeyed the order, encountered the most amazing scene of their lives.
The strange dragon with six tentacles in its mouth spread endless darkness from its body, and all the elite troops of the Principality of Sefi who remained here were turned into eternal stone statues that stood stiffly in place by this terrifying power.
Under the fear and deterrence of this super-strong man named "UD-286", the remaining ordinary soldiers did not have the slightest power to resist. When UD-286 devoured the walls and blasted open the gates with the materialized darkness that spread out, a thousand Abyssal Clans who had been stored in his personal space swarmed in, killing the enemy's plans for street fighting in an instant with overwhelming strength.
And then these soldiers, with the cooperation of the Abyss Clan, began to arrest people from house to house, regardless of men, women, old and children, all the living people in the city were gathered by those terrible-looking Abyss Clans into the wide square in the city. The area was already surrounded by several heavy magical barriers erected by UD-286, completely forging an impregnable cage.
The last thing the Falkenridge soldiers had to do was to draw a magic circle that would cover the entire square, as the dragon had commanded.
"You're mistaken, it shouldn't be like this, redraw!"
A soldier shuddered at the sudden scolding, and didn't dare to complain, so he hurriedly did so - this is not because he has no temper, but because he is a normal person, no matter how strong his psychological quality is, if there is a flying dragon with a body full of small tentacles, a human figure with many hands and feet constantly struggling on his back, and a petal-shaped blood basin mouth on his chest, and his tone is not very friendly, he probably will not have the heart to refute.
"In the circle on the left, there are two vertical, three horizontal and five notches...... That's right, the nick is filled with the blood of those guys, haven't you learned it before, why are these steps so rusty...... Drive all the captives to the center of the pattern, and you get out of here. ”
Standing atop the tallest building in the city, UD-286 looked down at the soldiers who were constantly busy at his feet, and issued orders in an orderly manner through several Abyssal Clans around him, which were a combination of Wyverns and human transformations. From a high vantage point, he could clearly see the eerie patterns in the center of the square that had been carved over time.
It seems to be a pattern, but in fact, it is more accurate to say that it is a circular formation diagram. The main structure is a simple structure in the shape of a cross, but at the center of the cross, it is like a half-open human eye in the shape of an overlapping diamond, and the above, left, and right sides are all oval branches, connected by a large number of intricately intertwined and treacherous runes......
This magic circle is currently not able to be drawn by the Abyss Clan, although the Abyssal Wyvern around him can already communicate with humans, but this kind of delicate work obviously requires him and Ielo to further transform these chaotic creatures.
That's why UD-286 asked a group of soldiers to assist him in doing this.
Now, as the soldiers of Falkenridge poured the blood of the civilians of the Principality of Sefi on the carved nicks, the entire formation map seemed to be given life, slowly impregnated with a scarlet evil light, and the human eyeball pattern in the center of the formation seemed to have woken up and was opening at an extremely slow speed......
Alchemist's alchemy array.
This formation was specifically told to Arlo by UD-286, and is said to be an alchemical clue he found in an ancient ruin a thousand years ago. After being stimulated by the power of the Chaos Fragments, Iroh awakened some of the abilities of the Life Seal, so some information about this UD-286 naturally had to be shared with Iro.
This time, it was clear that Iroh had been inspired by the Chaos Fragments and had explored how to use the formation. What Iroh and one of them entrusted to UD-286 was a piece of paper outlining the Crimson Formation and a request to "collect the items left behind after the formation".
Although the knowledge that UD-286 learned did not belong to the category of alchemy, he also had a slight understanding of normal alchemy because the talent of living manipulation could essentially be said to be alchemy based on the body of a living creature.
However, UD-286 believed that he himself did not think that the Chaos Fragments even hid the use of this magic circle. And...... It's still so good to use it.
Because, he has already seen that this alchemy refining array is used to refine people on a large scale!
When the Abyssal Clan and the Falkenridge soldiers escorted and drove all the civilians of the Principality of Sefi to the center of the refining array and quickly withdrew, the scarlet blood-colored light ignited in an instant, like a blood-red flame, and the frenzied Xuan He churned, with indescribable tyranny and coldness. This is an inexplicable mysterious power, under the effect of this terrifying power, the human beings standing inside the refining array are all flesh and bones, turning into countless blood and water scattered in all directions, and then being sucked up by the invisible force and levitating, condensing into a mass that constantly twists and waves......
"It's not the first time I've seen it, but it's all about the flesh, life, and even soul of hundreds of thousands of people...... Just make such a little thing?"
After the blood-colored brilliance had dissipated, the original hundreds of thousands of people had disappeared without a trace, depicting that the ground of the refining array was incomparably smooth and clean, D-286 walked into the refining array alone, and then lay down on his stomach, and gently sucked up a blood-red crystal the thickness of a thumb on the ground in the formation with a tentacle on his mouth.
The crystals are beautiful and gorgeous, with warm crimson swirls that flow like a liquid, and countless subtle sparkling crumbs stirring with the waves, with an unbelievable allure and attraction, as if looking at the most perfect and great treasure, and one cannot take one's eyes off it.
"It's so beautiful...... beside him, Mind Flayer Lich 10902 quietly appeared, muttering to himself in an intoxicated tone.
"yes,"
UD-286 laughed and swallowed the crystal straight into his stomach, "Iroh, how dare he dare to do it...... I never thought that human alchemy could still be played like this. ”
"So we experts also have to do something big, otherwise, we will be completely underestimated. ”
10902 bowed slightly towards UD-286, "Looking forward to working with you again, my ...... The hosts!"
......
"I've finally mastered this technique...... O'Neon, as long as you have this, I believe you will be able to achieve your goals faster, and then use it for me!"
At the same moment, Iroh, far away in the old dungeon of Leviathan, was staring at the two blood-red crystals lying quietly on his front paws. The two crystals, one large and one small, were clearly identical to the one UD-286 had gotten.
The small one was a sample given to him by the fallen alchemist O'Neon, and it was the size of a grain of rice as the extravagant one that UD-286 had been refined with the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of people, and the so-called "Philosopher's Stone" was refined with the flesh and soul of thousands of people.
And the other piece is, of course, UD-286 just refined. The Soul Eater's carry-on space is inside him, and Iroh, thanks to the power of some of the Chaos Shards, can now take the contents of his carry-on space with the permission of UD-286.
Of course, this connection doesn't just benefit Ello. At critical moments, Iroh can even transfer directly to UD-286's carry-on space and then emerge from his body, allowing him to quickly get out of some desperate situations.
O'Neon ...... Now I kind of understand why you, who are the weakest in strength and power, are able to become a member of Shadow Eternal. ”
Iroh remembered the fallen alchemist who had managed to find him after Yan had arranged his actions, and although he was terrified of Iroh's might, he still had the courage to speak out loud about his petition, asking him to use the power of Falkenridge and the Tokamaks to help him refine this alchemy item......
"Inside this crystal, can you glimpse the truth as you know it?"
Iro could feel the tremendous energy contained in the Philosopher's Stone, similar to the nuclear fusion he had mastered, the compressed energy in a crystal the size of a grain of rice, once released, would be enough to destroy the entire city, but he could not use the crystal with his own ability, let alone comprehend the eternal truth that the alchemist said existed in the Philosopher's Stone.
Because although the Chaos Fragment gave Iroh inspiration, that power is not Iroh himself after all.
"I will wait for you, alchemist O'Neon, for you to fulfill your promise...... Show me the whole picture of your so-called truth!"
In a brief meeting and conversation, Iroh could perceive that the alchemist O'Nion was indeed a man of great talent, that his vast knowledge and whimsy were no less than those of Noele and UD-286, and that he was still a human.
What's more, as the last descendant of alchemists from the Hidden Age, O'Neien has a lot of extremely secret knowledge that has been almost lost in the long history, and his own conditions as a scientific research scholar are absolutely excellent.
However, unlike Noele, who was in the Solar Optics Society and had huge resources, and unlike the Soul Eater, whose environmental requirements were close to zero, O'Neon had so few resources that he had to sneak up on what was considered taboo research for more than a dozen years after joining Shadow Eternal.
As an alchemist who advocates truth, O'Neien is undoubtedly pathetic, because he has countless forbidden great knowledge, but he lacks the material conditions to transform this knowledge into actual matter, and even refining the minimum philosopher's stone was hunted down and killed half to death by the people of the Holy See, which can only be described as miserable in the final analysis.
But O'Neion was lucky, because he met the being who could provide him with all these conditions, Iroh, and as a smart man, he seized the opportunity exactly.
