The temperature in the realm of the gods is eternal and does not change like the seasons in the mortal world, but when Levi Ston saw the majestic golden eyes of Thomas Youngson, the young regent did feel as if he was in the winter of the Far North Ice Field, his whole body was frozen and stiffened by the cold breath, and the chill was like a sharp blade piercing through the bone marrow. A faint voice whispered in his ear, Levi couldn't make out what it was saying, but he could feel that every word was an absolute promise of death.

The Shadow Assassin Arrans Kate turned around like a whirlwind, his eyes soaked in blood, and he stared at Lord Blind-Eyed tightly without blinking, "Is that you?" his voice was as dry as if it had been squeezed out of your teeth, "You actually broke through the barriers of Mr. Dish and Sir Rodriguez?"

"Stop me?" Thomas Yang Sen seemed to be in a good mood, with a hazy glint on his face and an elegant smile on his lips, "That's an interesting idea, Arrans Kate, do you think you can stop the true god with just a few mortals?"

Pope Nicholas once said the same thing, and in a similar tone. The Shadow Assassin replied in an unflinching tone as he pouted in the direction of the bronze gate, "But he's blown up a little too much now, otherwise I should be able to introduce you to him." ”

A few meters behind Arrans Kate, Levi Ston heard a whisper as soft, "Master Levi, get behind the door, leave it to me here......"

"I don't need to bother you to introduce me, I am no stranger to His Majesty Pope Nicholas in the Shining Temple. Thomad Yangsen was not in a hurry, and his expression was even more gentle, as if he thought that time was completely on his side. "He's a very ambitious and stoic guy, and if he could have the power to match his ambition, the result would not have been so miserable. ”

"You...... I already knew about Pope Nicholas's plan?" Levi's voice rang out from behind the Shadow Assassin, and the corners of Aran Kate's rune-bandaged mouth twitched, and his heart was filled with emotion and anxiety at the same time.

"I can't deny your speculation, Levi Ston, the young man I once considered an old enemy. Thomad Jonson's gaze left the Shadow Assassin unconcernedly, turning to the young Lord Regent, his golden eyes glinting thoughtfully. "You once let me ...... Or rather, the owner of this body is confused, he doesn't know why his hands are stained with blood, and he is not as good as a hairy boy who is full of stupidity and inflexible justice. According to the script he wrote in advance, the power of Arthur's kingdom should have fallen into his hands, but except for the two eastern counties that had long been infiltrated and conquered by the Knights of Death, even those royal nobles at both ends of the capital did not hesitate to choose to cooperate with the northern royal court. ”

"Because yearning for the light is everyone's surname, even if the person is not a good person. No one will be willing to submit to a dark and cold-blooded ruler given in a choice. Levi's reply was so loud that Tomad Youngson looked slightly stunned, and then let out a low chuckle.

"You're right, Levi Ston, just have a choice. Lord Blindeye nodded happily, "Power is like dry sand, and the tighter you grapple with it, the faster it will flow through your fingers." The original owner of this body didn't understand this, and I'm glad you did. ”

"I don't know either, but I know what to do and what not to do. Levi replied in a serious tone. "The act of plotting in a dark corner to achieve one's own selfish interests at the expense of the well-being of all people, no matter how beautiful the words to disguise it, cannot hide the rancid smell that permeates it. ”

"You have a fair amount of hostility towards me, Levi Ston. Lord Blindeye sighed a little sadly, "This is too bad, because I appreciate you and don't want to conflict with you if I can." ”

"Then get out of here, Thomas Jonson, with us. Levi's tone and demeanor did not show any softening flavor because of this, and he still looked grim and cold, like the gray-blue ice rock at the top of the snow-capped mountains in the north, "The realm of the gods is not a place that should be desecrated by the hands of ordinary people. ”

"It seems that the other side of my soul, Dish Friedrich, did not reveal to you everything he knew, but it was a matter of course, and if he did, I would wonder who had replaced him. Thomad Yangsen's smile didn't change in the slightest, and Levi's heart suddenly sank, because he did have a familiar feeling about this smile, it was like a ...... Mr. Dust, much younger, was smiling at him.

"What exactly do you want to say?" the young Lord Regent asked, word for word, completely ignoring the shadow assassin Aranth Kate's quiet "stalling" gesture, "Thomas Youngson, I won't allow you to enter the Temple of God, even if it takes ...... The cost of life. ”

"There will always be people who have to pay with their lives, but I don't want you. Thomas Jerson did not seem to be at all angered by Levi Stern's refusal, and his golden eyes shone with an unusually sharp light, "When you have heard all the truth, judge whether my actions are evil and unforgivable." ”

Levi Ston lowered the knight's sword in his hand, touched the tip lightly to the ground, and then nodded slightly and said, "I will listen to you, Thomas Youngson, but whether or not the truth of what you say is concealed depends on my judgment." ”

The Shadow Assassin Arranth Kate secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't move away from his body or put away the Poison Dagger, instead focusing all his energy on Thomas Jonson. As soon as Lord Blindeye made any suspicious move, he was ready to pounce on him and block the other party with his life, and fight for Levi Ston's chance.

The disparity in strength is quite huge, even to the point of despair. Thomas Youngson's aura was not as flamboyant as that of Pope Nicholas after absorbing the Godhead of the Lord of Radiance, but it was even more unfathomable, at least Arranth Kate felt that he had no chance of winning against Lord Blindeye, even with the addition of Ramsdon, the Lord of Battle.

"You've surprised me again, Levi. Tomad Jerson smiled again, and then thrust Excalibur Brilliant into the staircase in front of him. "Dish Friedrich will regret giving me this opportunity to talk to you alone. ”

The staircase leading to the Temple of God looked like ordinary granite, but both Levi and Arrans Kate had learned that this seemingly ordinary stone was actually so strong that even the legendary powerhouses could hardly leave a clear mark on it. However, with Tomad Yangsen's movements, the brilliant blade of Excalibur was easily thrust in, as if it were not a ladder strengthened by divine power and undamaged over thousands of years, but a warm earth.

The Shadow Assassin's blood-colored eyes shrank suddenly, and the Venomous Dagger tightened in his hands. However, Levi did not show any surprise, the strength of the other party had already been revealed in the image brought by the burning dragon king Dariga, and now the young regent only cared about one thing, that is, before Mr. Dish and the others arrived, could he keep Lord Blind-Eyed out of the temple of gods?

If it is about force, then even if all the military strength of the heart of the castle is exhausted, I am afraid that the answer is absolutely impossible. Levi Ston could only try to calm his mood and quietly wait for Thomas Jonson to continue.

"The world is dead, irretrievable, irreversible. "The gods haven't answered the prayers of their worshippers for decades, and you've just seen the truth, the gods that kept all the rules of this world running are gone, leaving only their thrones and godheads, and the threads of divine power that have been weakened by the passage of hundreds of years......"

He saw the disapproving expression on Levi Stern's face, as if he wanted to open his mouth to refute, so he raised his right hand and made a pause gesture, "Levi Stearn, I hope you can listen to me a little more and not jump to conclusions, time is not on my side, you know. ”

Levi's heart passed a little gloomy, Thomas Yangsen was right, time was not on his side, Mr. Dish and the others would never sit idly by and watch Lord Blindeye snatch the godhead and divine power of the departed gods, Levi didn't know how long it would take them to get here, but every minute and second that passed was obviously increasing this possibility.

"Alright, Thomas Jonson, please go on. ”

Far away, a void shock suddenly appeared in the realm of the gods. Ser Rodriguez, dressed in black armor, and Mr. Dust, dressed in the robes of the Grand Magister, broke into the burning sea of stars, but as happened to Levi Ston, a sense of nothingness that seemed to rob them of all consciousness immediately enveloped them, and their movements were very comically still.

On the other hand, outside the Void Rift, which had become extremely narrow, the Burning Dragon King Dariga hated and sucked on his broken fingers, and his face turned iron-blue. Perhaps due to the extinguishing of the Divine Flame of the Abyss Great Monarch Amur Hydras, the Void Rift leading to the Divine Realm contracted several times faster after Sir Rodriguez and Mr. Dish entered, so that the Burning Dragon King who was about to pass through the rift next was severely injured. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Dariga already had the strength of the peak of the legend and had absorbed a large amount of faith power, if he was replaced by other legendary powerhouses, he would definitely be crushed into pieces by the sudden closure of the void rift.

"Your Majesty Dariga, what happened, why did the Void Rift suddenly shrink?" the Blazing God made Rist Robinson frown, "With only two people, Old Dish and Rodriguez, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight against that Lord Blind-Eyed Thomad Youngson." ”

"Of course I know!" "Of course I know!" the Burning Dragon King Dariga's tone was almost angry, and a sharp light flashed in his golden red eyes, "This void rift was opened by Pope Nicholas using the divine fire that he seized from the Great Monarch of the Abyss, and now it suddenly heals itself, obviously the divine fire has been extinguished, and I am afraid that Pope Nicholas has also fallen." ”

"Could it be that Young Master Levi succeeded in stopping the Shining Pope?" Robinson's eyebrows raised involuntarily, "After seizing the Divine Fire, Pope Nicholas's strength is no different from that of a demigod, how can such a thing happen?"

"Maybe it's just luck...... Amazing luck only. The Burning Dragon King hesitated for a moment, shook his head lightly, and said, "Although the power of the Nicholas Pope has reached the peak of legend, it comes from the path of faith, and its own accumulation is too shallow. In my judgment, he can only bear the godhead of a weak god like Rukia, the goddess of spring, or Morata, the god of freedom, and if he is too greedy and tries to devour the priesthood and godhead of the glorious lord of Flandara, who is a powerful god, in one fell swoop, the end that awaits him will definitely not be good. ”

Rist Robinson sighed softly, "I agree with you, Your Majesty Dariga, but what should we do now?" The Void Rift is no longer passable, how can we help Young Master Levi?"

The Burning Dragon King Dariga subconsciously clenched his fists, and it wasn't until he was silent for a full minute that he reluctantly shook his head, "The realm of the gods can only be opened by burning the divine fire, and now any of us ...... Neither you nor I can touch this area......"

In other words, now it is only up to Master Levi's luck to see what his luck is. ”

Levi Ston proved to be quite lucky, for while the crowd was worried about his safety, the young Lord Regent was sitting on the ground in front of the bronze gates of the Temple of God, listening to Thomas Youngson tell a long story.

“...... Only a small fraction of those who are at the end of the legendary path, or who are about to touch the end, see the signs of the world's demise. The divine power of the gods is slowly waning, not only because the faith of the believers is no longer pure, but even worse, because the realm of the gods is also dying. The weakened gods sought a way to avoid the simultaneous destruction of the world, and they experimented with countless terrible divine lives, only to come to the dismal conclusion that they could not reverse their demise unless they were re-infused with unimaginable divine power. ”

Levi felt as if his throat was being choked by cold hands, and it became difficult for him to breathe, "You can't prove that what you're saying is the truth, Thomas Youngson." "As you said," he retorted, "how did you know all this, as you said, that the gods had disappeared hundreds of years ago, and that they had tried to regain it only earlier......?" Or was Mr. Dish once one of the gods?"

"The gods would love someone like me to join, but sadly, I'm not one of them. And where I came from, Levi, you can't imagine it at all...... Did old Dish tell you about it? No, I don't think he will, just as I don't. At this, a mysterious smile appeared on Tomad Youngson's face, which made Levi suddenly feel a little dazed, for he had seen the same smile many times, especially when Mr. Dish spoke of his origins.

"It doesn't matter where you come from, Thomas Youngsen. Levi tried his best to suppress the curiosity in his heart, and said with some mistaste, "The most important thing now is that you must come up with strong evidence to prove the correct surname of the 'world extinction' theory you just said." There can be many reasons for the disappearance of the gods, and the Divine War is one of them, and if the religious texts do not exaggerate it, the last divine war took place more than 500 years ago in the Dawn Era, when at least a dozen demigods and false gods fell, and the goddess of the red moon, Marta, was so badly injured that she did not answer the prayers of her followers for hundreds of years. ”

A somewhat reserved smile appeared on Thomas Youngson's face, an arrogant smile that knew something about a secret and was about to explain it to the ignorant. "There is no conflict between that divine war and the facts I have told...... In other words, it shows that there is no error in my statement. As I said earlier, the signs of the decline of the world are not only seen by the gods, but also by the legendary powerhouses who are at the end of the legendary path, or who are about to touch the end. Of course, the facts they perceive are far from those of the gods, and some legendary powerhouses even mistakenly believe that the cause of the world's decline is not something else, but that the gods are preparing to destroy it. ”

The corners of Levi's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times, "The gods want to destroy this world?

"yes, it's excessive. "But those legendary powerhouses don't think so, they have stood at the pinnacle of power for too long, they have drawn a huge chasm between themselves and mortals, they don't think of themselves as equal to weak and short-lived mortals, but as a race as eternal and immortal as the gods." It was this thought that prompted these legendary powerhouses to launch that divine war, they wanted to protect this world from destruction from the hands of the gods, but it was precisely because of their actions that the world eventually fell into decline ahead of schedule, and it became impossible to reverse the trend!"
