Chapter 699: The Beginning
Nearly a month has passed since the first scuffle between the various forces broke out almost as if it had been agreed upon on each continent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the Eastern Continent, after experiencing the initial chaos and even needing the help of the dragon clan with foreign aid to support the dilemma of the scene, the Phoenix Royal Court, the oldest dynastic force in the continent today, finally showed a profound foundation commensurate with its ancient history. With the combined efforts of the Phoenix Court and the other shadow princes who had not been infiltrated by the Chaos forces or had regained control from the Chaos forces, the chaotic war situation in various parts of the Eastern Continent began to be effectively controlled, and at the same time, the Chaos Beast Tide from the Bone Swamp finally showed its decline and was firmly confined to the narrow area in the southern part of the Eastern Continent.
And in the southern continent, although the situation is still chaotic - the high-level "New Solan Cult" led by Pope Eders is suspected to have been controlled by Chaos, orc rebels from the southwest desert, necromancers, dark sects, and careerist lords from all over the continent are constantly provoking all kinds of incidents and wars in various parts of the continent. However, the good news is that the old Cult of Solan led by the Holy Maiden Raphael and the Knights Templar, the Prud Empire, which was invited by Raphael in the name of the Cult of Solan and the anti-chaos forces in the Southern Continent, and the Lothar Alliance, which has finally recovered from the trauma caused by the rebellion, are all ready to use their swords against the tumors that have emerged from the chaos forces on the Southern Continent. Although I dare not say such a big thing as immediately pacifying the Southern Continent, as long as the tripartite coalition forces start to move, it will not be difficult to stabilize the situation in the Southern Continent.
The Western Continent and the central part of the continent still maintain a rare overall order and tranquility, but only the Northern Continent is still unreassuring.
No, maybe it's a bit too optimistic to say that it can't be reassuring, in fact, the situation on the North Continent can still be described as completely out of control.
Except for the area around Digakar, which is known as the hometown of elemental magic, where Digakar Academy is located, and around the Moon Valley, where the night elves live, etc., because of the existence of strong core forces, and at the beginning of the war, it attracted and accepted many forces and races that were not invaded by the chaos forces, and there is almost no place in the northern continent today that has not been affected by war and chaos.
Unlike the Eastern Continent and the Southern Continent, each of which has a powerful force that can be counted on and can forcefully counterattack the forces of chaos, the Northland Alliance, the only major force on the Northern Continent, disintegrated itself as early as the beginning of the war due to pervasive chaos. The mages of Digakar and the moon elves of the Valley of the Moon may be able to save the regions around them from the chaos temporarily, but they are powerless to extend their power to save more places and races.
However, there are exceptions to everything...... Maybe that's how to put it.
The entire Northern Continent was caught up in the war, and as a famous grain producing area on the Northern Continent, it was naturally impossible for the Duchy of Skagen to survive such a war. A big food country like them, even if they don't take the initiative to attack others, those princes who are short of food because of the war will not let go of such a large piece of delicious fat.
However, the strange thing is that although the Duchy of Skagen, like most other countries on the northern continent, has been dragged into the melee, in fact, the battlefields between the Duchy of Skagen and the enemies are almost entirely concentrated in the north and east, and as for the western part of the Duchy of Skagen, it has miraculously not been invaded by any enemy forces, no, it seems that no force has even thought of attacking the Duchy of Skagen from here.
In the western part of the Duchy of Skagen, the people here have heard of the chaos on the continent for a long time, but the only thing that makes them really feel the chaos of war is the recruitment posts that have suddenly been set up in various villages and towns, and the successive grain collection orders, as for the real war, there is no sign of the real war affecting this side at all.
It's not that no one is surprised by this, but even these people can't think of any conclusions at all in the end, so they can only give up the doubts in their hearts, after all, they can't just run to ask those enemy countries why they don't come...... No matter what the situation is like outside, no matter what the reason, as long as the land around them can continue to be so precious and peaceful, wouldn't it be great.
The town of Martin is one of the western parts of the Duchy of Skagen, where it enjoys miraculous peace in the midst of the chaos of the continent.
No one would have imagined that the most fundamental reason why the western part of the Duchy of Skagen was able to enjoy such peace was the family that lived in the small town of Martin three years ago and quietly moved in, and looked no different from other rich people in the countryside.
No one would have imagined what kind of terrifying existence was actually hidden inside this peaceful town.
The scourge of war in the Northern Continent will not affect the town of Martin and the surrounding western part of the Duchy of Skagen, which is indeed deliberately manipulated by Tafel.
Of course, this arrangement is definitely not because Tafel has any special feelings for the place where he has lived for three years, or has any so-called pity for the residents here. Actually, Tafel was just troublesome.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, the current wars in various parts of the continent of Arreth are already stormy, but in Tafel's opinion, it is completely insufficient, he knows very well that these are just appetizers, and because he accidentally obtained the alien law of the Nolan clan in the Eastern Continent, Tafel had to start his early layout and not perfect plan to destroy the world much earlier than he originally planned. Looking at the Western Continent and the Central Continent where there was no chaos at all, you can see that Tafel is actually not satisfied with the operation of the chaotic power he has mastered through the remnant soul of Shaq and a few powerful men in various places at this time.
However, Tafel knew that his acquisition of the power of Nolan's Xenomorph Law was a sign that he finally had the ability to compete with the Agents and the Will of the World, and that the Agent and the Will of the World had enough reason to use their truly terrifying abilities to kill him. Although Tafel felt that these worldly wars and the collapse of order would not affect their existence too much, it was ...... Once it's really useful?
Setting off wars in various places is a necessary prelude to Tafel's plan to destroy the world, but if it interferes with his current meditation and digestion of the power of a law of the Nolan clan, it will be a bit of putting the cart before the horse. That's why Tafel instructed the flames of war to stay out of his place. He wasn't worried about revealing his position, after all, his opponents were agents of the power of the Origin Law that controlled this world, and as long as he was still in this world, then hiding such an act would be meaningless in Tafel's eyes.
However, to Tarfel's surprise, he originally thought that after he returned to the Northland, the other party might soon come to the door and kill him directly without giving him any chance to digest the power of the xenomorph law to strengthen himself, but this delay was nearly a month, and the agents never appeared in front of him, and he was allowed to use the xenomorph law system in his body to grow safely.
Tafel didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourds of the Substitutes, but since the opponent was so kind to give him a chance to grow, why didn't he seize it?
With this mentality, Tafel seized all the time in this month to continuously grow his strength. It's just that because of the preconceived notion that the agent and the will of the world represent order, and chaos is the natural enemy of order, coupled with the short rounds of confrontation between the Eastern Continent and Nien York, the chaotic power of the spoiler actually blocked the actual experience of the agent's Origin Law attack, which made Tafel make a failed choice that can be said to be extremely wrong from the perspective of the final outcome.
He did not choose to use the power of order of the xenomorph law system to assist himself in comprehending the power of the law of order, so that he could obtain the god-level strength of the eighth order or even above it in the order form, but chose to use the conflict between the xenomorph law system and the origin law to create an inexhaustible source of chaos and then fuse it into his own body under the chaos form to strengthen the chaos power he possessed.
In this way, relying on the unparalleled source of chaos such as the xenomorph law system, Tafel's strength in the chaotic form has grown rapidly, and in the past month, Tafel in the chaotic form has already possessed the chaotic power of the same level as the super chaos monsters in ancient times that even the god-level powerhouses have heard of.
Then, just when he already felt that his chaotic power was enough to make the agents look good, the final battle plan of the Chelus and their relatives finally began.
-----
---
It was the same morning as ever, and the sky had just dawned.
However, on the second floor of the Inner Zhuang Mansion where Tafel lives alone, in the manor on the outskirts of Martintown, the distinction between day and night has no meaning for this space.
Tafel sat alone at his desk in his room, his eyes closed as if in meditation, and in front of him, the vast room was now filled with layers of black-gray fog that could not be described in words, and which did not change in any light and color with the day and night outside.
Just like these days, Tafel is constantly mobilizing the power of the alien law system in his body, using the conflict of laws to constantly create chaos and absorb it, although he doesn't know what kind of tricks those agents are brewing until now that they have not come to attack him, but Tafel believes that as long as the power of chaos he has is strong enough, then the agents, and even the world laws behind them, he can compete with them.
That's right, he's always thought so.
But in the next second, his self-confidence was shattered by an inexplicable fluctuation that affected the entire continent.
In fact, for the ninety-nine-nine-nine percent of the beings on the continent of Areth, they couldn't understand what was going on the continent or in this dimensional world in this second, and even the remaining 0.1 percent, that is, the powerhouses on the continent who had entered the realm of law power, they could only feel that suddenly, the order on the continent seemed to have some kind of subtle change, which made it slightly difficult for them to use their own power to simulate the power of the law, but at the same time, they successfully simulated the power of the law, but its power is also a little stronger than before - not much, but it can be felt.
And only one person, as a metamorphic whose very existence lies on the border between order and chaos, truly understands the true meaning of this sudden upheaval.
Order and chaos, although they are natural enemies of each other, are not so clearly defined, especially for Tafel. However, at this moment, Tafel could clearly feel that order and chaos in this world were beginning to oppose each other in an incredible way.
It's like a bucket of water precipitated with sand and gravel, originally although the large pieces of sand and gravel are indeed underneath, but those fine pieces of sand and gravel are actually still mixed in the water and even float in a very shallow position near the water surface, but at this moment, a magical force separates the two absolutely and completely, all the sand and gravel regardless of size are all precipitated at the bottom of the bucket, and in the upper part, the water here is so clean that there is no problem even if you drink it directly.
The order and chaos of the plane of the continent of Ares have truly become two sides of the coin at this moment, positive or negative, and there is no gray area in the real sense.
For the beings who were originally ordered beings or chaotic beings, such changes had no other effect than solidify their respective order and chaos attributes, allowing them to obtain different degrees of subtle strength improvements, but for Tafel, this fluctuation that triggered the complete separation of order and chaos undoubtedly had an extremely profound impact on him.
This is no longer a state of affairs that he can use to constantly change the existence attributes of order and chaos with the ability of the metamorphosis as he did before against the surrogate and the world origin law, so as to obscure the past, because the other party's hand is clearly aimed at the metamorphosis living in the gray border. Order and Chaos, which had been tightly together, had been "torn apart", and if he didn't want to be "torn in half" - the consequences of which he didn't even know what would become - he had to choose to cling to one side of Order and Chaos at once.
Gritting his teeth, Tafel's face was exposed, and then a hideous sneer appeared.
“...... It really came to this hand...... Stupid Surrogate ......"
