Chapter 269: Ten Thousand Years Have Been Passed in an Instant
...... I don't know how many times I was knocked down by the Holy Judge Venerable, the wounds on my body have already exceeded 10,000, and the right hind leg is bent at a completely unreasonable angle, if it is another occasion, let alone stop the attack of the Holy Judge Venerable, it is also difficult to just hold the crumbling body - but Airo still stood up with difficulty and stubbornness, blocking the eyes of the Holy Judge Venerable.
It stands to reason that in such a short period of time, the Holy Judge Venerable did not have the strength to seriously injure Elo. There is only one reason, beside the Holy Judgment Venerable, there is also Ouranos and another figure.
Dressed in white, he held the spear of heavenly punishment in his hand, as if it were the day of the holy war eighty years ago.
Austin, once the Apostle, now the Pope.
Eighty years have passed, and many of the strong men of the dark camp who participated in the battle to destroy the Holy See in the past are now dead and hidden.
Fearful of being pursued, Lilia had to flee back to the Abyssal Plane, where she had not been seen for fifty years.
Bartlett is poisoned in food by the killers of the metal dragon.
Leonard fought with the Dragon Knights, and was eventually unable to fight to the death.
Mind Flayer Lich 10902 disappeared after being destroyed by the frenzied army of Light in the Mind Flayer community.
Agatanns and Suva, as the first two emperors of the Lucirede Empire, were surrounded by heavy armies after the mutation of the capital, and fought until the last moment, when Agatanns was killed and Suva blew himself up.
Provoked by an unknown person, Brooklyn accidentally swallowed a superbly camouflaged illusion magic bomb, leaving him dead.
Edie's men rebelled, and the mage, like most Dark Elves, died of betrayal.
O'Neien was arrested by agents of the Holy See and tried at the stake the next day.
Parasalence was the worst of all, after the Dragon Knight Legion found out his hideout, Austin personally led people to the crusade, and finally put the dragon Ling Chi who was directly involved in the killing of the former Pope to death, and the head was hung in front of the main gate of the Holy See for a full year to comfort the spirit of the former Pope.
Now, only Iroh is left.
To the surprise of the Holy Judgment Venerable, Ello, who had not necessarily been able to defeat even him, was able to resist for so long in the face of the three strong men at this time, the Holy Judgment Venerable slowly bowed his head, and Ouranos and Austin also took a step forward at the same time.
Iroh felt the whole world pressing down on him, but he didn't retreat, and when he retreated, all the persistence he had had lost in the past.
He is the strongest plutonium dragon of the Hate Dragons.
He was the leader of the Tokamaks.
He was followed by many people and regarded as a guide.
He hasn't unified the dragons yet, and his best chance has been lost due to the dimensional shift......
Iroh opened his eyes, his eyes were already calm, and he suddenly let out a long groan, with an indomitable momentum, unstoppable.
Although he was already scarred, he suddenly stood above all living beings. This is not a simple momentum, it is just a sense of his existence, and from this moment on, he has faintly had the power of a true god.
"If you can't do it, even if it's you, it's almost enough to persist until now......"
The Holy Judge Venerable muttered silently with an expressionless face, and his body was at a speed that surpassed all else, and a domineering breath of light burst out with a silent aura, if it weren't for the protection of the divine power enchantment, this blow would definitely directly tear out a huge vacuum area of thousands of meters.
"Quench it, the fire of your sins. β
With a loud bang, a vortex of energy from the impact filled the entire platform, and then quickly disappeared into the ethereal void.
As if it had been slowed down indefinitely, Iroh's thoughts became inexplicably ethereal, and his body was extremely heavy, as if he had become a stone statue, but his consciousness could envelop the whole world.
Iroh, the strange dragon suspected to be the Plutonium Dragon, had been vaguely aware of himself long before he came into contact with Yan and learned about the Hate Dragon, and he was destined to be above most so-called geniuses.
His talent, tenacity, and nuclear power were enough for him to rival the demigods before he became an adult, but even so, he still didn't feel safe.
How can we have a sense of security?The decline of the dragon clan, the unknown background, the malice of the bright world...... There wasn't a moment for Iroh to be idle.
It can be said that almost from the first day of his birth, he has been exhausting his mental strength to calculate and plan. And then the effort finally came to fruition.
Tokamaks, Church of the Dragon, Heliographic Society, Falkenridge......
There is also free will and shadow eternity. At one point, Iroh even thought that he had what the man in his dream said he could do "that thing", but until now...... No, it's just now, to be precise, that he's really realizing what's going on.
The Venerable Judgment and Ouranos sent themselves directly to eighty years later with a force they had never seen before, in other words, they had eighty years to exterminate the Tokamaks, the Flame Dragon Church, and possibly Falkenridge.
Iroh somewhat understood the feelings of Venerable Xingyu that dayβthe feeling of watching everything he had worked so hard to be ruined.
Iroh had to admit that this time, he really underestimated his opponent.
"Ah, sure enough, I can't stay out of it, rotten dragons...... Even if I don't know my background, I'm a member of the dragon clan, so I have the shortcomings that I have commented on before. β
Although one side of consciousness has roared and wept like crazy, the other side is still unfazed.
Iroh closed his eyes at the deadly attack.
It wasn't that he was giving up, but he suddenly remembered a scene from a long time ago.
UD-286, the mysterious Soul Eater Dragon, has rarely shown up since joining the Tokamak Sect and rarely interacts with other members, but every time he communicates, he is bound to bring a lot of gains to others.
The day before he left for the Holy See for the decisive battle, Arlo took advantage of his rare free time to chat with UD-286 for a while.
"I think my strength is already at the top of the demigod level. "If you change to the legendary level, you should have touched the threshold of a demigod by now." But...... Why do I still not have a specific understanding and experience of the level above the demigods?"
Before you answer that question, you can think about why we fall, and that's to get back up. UD-286 whispered, "Whether it's humans or dragons, there are infinite possibilities - here's why, if you want to reach a higher level in the future, how about learning to climb up first?"
Eloh suddenly felt that his vision cleared.
To become a god, it is true that it is not enough to simply improve strength, but also to have great luck, great wisdom, and great perseverance - he has no desperate consciousness at all, and he has no determination to gamble everything just to become stronger.
Although the road that Iroh has traveled from birth to the present is definitely not smooth, if you think about it, it is true that he has not really suffered a few failures. The frost dancers and fire giants in their infancy may be the biggest crisis.
Don't say how hard he works, how he walks on thin ice, if you ignore these subjective aspects that outsiders can hardly see, then he Iroh is really no different from other dragons.
Because looking back on his short twenty years of life, he seems to be ...... There have been few setbacks, although a large part of the reason is that his plan has solved a lot of problems in advance.
However, the real strong have to go through a lot of hardships, and the life that has been smooth sailing from the beginning to the end is still left to which mortal. If you don't even have this kind of awareness, you can only live below the gods for the rest of your life, and you will never be able to ascend to the temple of the gods.
At this moment, Iroh, who finally understood this, really got up from the ground.
He opened his closed eyes slightly, and said a word, not knowing if he was nostalgic for this world, or if he lived a long time ago.
Dark, Mysterious, Icourtt's Valley, Natalie, Falkenridge, Vess, Deceased, Rojit, Men...... Countless hallucinations flashed in front of his eyes, and he tilted his head slightly, saying the last words to Yan on the side.
β......β
Only Yan heard this, and he nodded silently.
Then a devastating explosion occurred.
Iroh found himself disappearing rapidly, but he suddenly realized that his vision was much clearer, and he turned his head again to see the world at the end of the sunset.
This time, I admit that I lost. Eighty years of layout, it's really not something I can crack...... So, save this battle of light and darkness for next time.
Next time, the world will inevitably usher in a new life.
Thinking like this, the last part of Iroh also dissipated, and there was no trace of his existence on the Demon Sealing Table.
It's just that......
Before the fanatical onlookers could cheer, Fritzlid let out a scream of disbelief: "Wait, what's that?"
His Holiness sank, and was about to ask clearly, when Fritzlid exclaimed, "Impossible...... The future shouldn't be like this, and neither is the past I see......! How could he ββ!"
"What the hell is going on?"
The Venerable of the Holy Judgment snapped, "Isn't Iroh already dead?"
He was greeted by Fritzlied's miserable laughter: "Yes, he's dead...... We're going to die too. β
βοΌοΌβ
Everyone was stunned, and for a moment no one could guess what Fritzlid meant. But they didn't have to worry about it soon, because in the next second, there were suddenly countless white points of light at the end of the sky.
"Damn it, withdraw!"
With his strongest strength, Ouranos reacted immediately, his face changed drastically, and he disappeared in the light of teleportation magic with a flash.
At this time, whether it was the Holy Judgment Venerable or Austin, or the believers who were watching the battle, they all realized that things were definitely not good. As a result, under the influence of the instinct of creatures to seek advantage and avoid harm, the crowd began to flee in all directions.
As for running away from what?
Nature is those white points of light in the sky that I don't know what they are!
"No......"
The only one who didn't try to escape was the Phantom Dragon, who seemed to have formed some sort of partnership with the Light faction. He stood quietly, his eyes showing a hint of regret.
Because, he was the first to discover the existence of those points of light after Ouranos.
And after knowing this, he understood that it was useless to run away now, after all, he did not have a way to get out of this world directly like Ouranos.
"Iroh, if this is your last revenge...... I'm sorry for what I did to you, but I don't regret it. β
Silently reciting a sentence in his heart, Yan closed his eyes and prepared to welcome this group of Death Incarnations.
A minute later, it was as if the big bang that could turn everything into nothingness happened.
......
Later history records that the symbol of the glorious era from prosperity to decline was that the leader of the metal dragon at that time, the Holy Judgment Venerable, led a large number of powerhouses of the light camp to besiege and kill the evil dragon that was teleported from eighty years ago, Aelo Stygian.
In that battle, Iroh was killed, but it seems that he had a premonition of his own death, and he arranged a total of 10,000 fusion bombs in various parts of the Western Continent in advance, and threw them all on the northern part of the Western Continent at the moment of his death.
This is the cause of the "Day of Destruction." In the midst of this tragedy, the Holy Inquisition, Pope Austin, Pyrustoon Scarlet, Fritzlied, and more than 23,000 worshippers who were present at the battle were all killed, and Ouranos, the follower of the Divine Wings, fled in time.
After the day of the collapse, about 22 percent of the land in the northern part of the western continent was seriously polluted, becoming a forbidden area for life, and could never be restored to a habitable state, and another 39 percent of the land was moderately or lightly polluted, and a large number of organisms were mutated.
- And this is the origin of the most famous "wasteland" area in the Western Continent.
