The land of God's forsakenness, the abode of the Giant King.

Ember slowly reached out and grasped the 'Blasphemous Slab' floating in the air.

And on that almost invisible 'illusory light', there were already a few sparks covered with sparks.

The light of the fire was not bright, but it had long since merged with the blasphemous slate, but the blasphemous slab had not yet been completely 'purified'.

The so-called 'purification' is actually to use the 'first fire' to cover the traces of the 'primordial' on the 'blasphemous slate', so that this 'blasphemy slate' becomes the shape of the 'first fire' from the inside out.

Ember didn't do that, and he covered most of the traces that belonged to the 'primordial' with the First Fire, but still left a small part behind. And this also means that for the 'Original', he can completely use the back door left by the embers to regain control of this 'blasphemous tablet'.

And the reason why Ember chose to leave a back door for the 'original' when he knew the consequences was actually not a momentary negligence-

After all, if he really purified the first 'Desecrated Slate' completely, although he could completely cover the traces of the 'Primordial', it also meant that the 'Desecrated Slate' would no longer be able to invoke the power of the 'Chaos Sea'!

After all, the reason why the 'Desecrated Slate' can invoke the power of the 'Chaos Sea' is because the 'Desecrated Slate' has the same essence as the 'Chaos Sea'. As soon as either party loses this 'essence', the connection between them will naturally be severed.

But on the other hand, the 'Desecrated Slate' that has been completely 'purified' will certainly lose the ability to connect to the 'Sea of Chaos', but there are advantages and disadvantages, and since the 'Desecrated Slate' has become the shape of the 'First Fire', it can also invoke the power of the 'First Fire' to a certain extent.

But a 'blasphemous tablet' that cannot invoke the 'Sea of Chaos' is clearly not what the true creator wants. After all, the Sea of Chaos certainly has the risk of being revived by the 'primordial', but it can also help the real cause to become a thing of the past.

In turn, the essence of the first fire, although no less than at a distance, could not do this, after all, the systems of power of the two sides were not the same.

So the current state of the 'blasphemy tablet' is the best.

The back door left behind can prevent the 'Desecrated Slate' from losing its connection with the 'Chaos Sea', and most of the transformation by the 'First Fire' can ensure that even if the 'Desecrated Slate' is not in Ember's hands, he can still have the ownership of the 'Desecrated Slate'.

Ember memorized the recipes for all the potions on the desecrated slate, and realized something.

The first 'Blasphemous Slab' doesn't have a 'Sequence 0' on it, but it's enough for Ember.

The potion recipe for the 'Fool' path can be passed to Crane when he leaves Godforsaken.

As for the potion recipe for the 'Gate' path, it was naturally Ember himself who wanted to use it.

After all, if you talk about 'sequence' alone, Ember is nothing more than a mediocre sequence 5 'traveler'. Although He himself does not have a particular need for the extraordinary abilities of the 'gate' pathway, it is necessary to be a sequence 0 of the 'gate' pathway.

Because regardless of Ember's subjective attitude, he is inevitably involved in the war with the 'primordial'.

And if he wants to win this war, there is only one way to go-

In order to destroy the primordial, one must first become the primordial.

As he once did—

In order to control the First Fire, he must first become the First Fire, and he must be a part of the First Fire in the way of the Fire Transmission.

And as it turned out, Ember succeeded, just not completely.

He succeeded in becoming a part of the 'First Fire', and even overwhelmed the 'First Fire Will' to gain control of the 'First Fire'.

But unfortunately, the 'First Fire Will' was not so easily extinguished.

Although He has lost most of his power, he forcibly separated from the concept of the 'first fire' at the last moment!

This kind of decisiveness, which is no less than that of a gecko's broken tail to survive, allowed him to survive. And even if it has been separated, its essence as the 'will of the first fire' remains, but it no longer has the dominance of the 'first fire'.

So, just like Adam now, the First Fire Will is eager to merge – and only by being 'one' with the embers can he regain control of the First Fire. If the 'First Fire' succeeds, then Ember will be reduced to a slave controlled by the 'First Fire', just like countless previous salary kings!

But unfortunately, the 'First Flame Will' is also very clear that he is now in a vulnerable position.

He was once forced to survive without stopping, and he was completely unable to confront the embers who controlled the 'First Fire'. So he even went to great lengths to cooperate with Adam in order to be able to accomplish this end, to accomplish the fusion he desired.

And by virtue of his connection to the First Fire, he was unable to gain control of the power of the First Fire. But he has been secretly conspiring, indirectly influencing Ember's behavior in a covert way-

For example, let Ember divide the originally unified power into nine parts of the king's soul and distribute it to others.

Another example is suppressing Ember's memories of the past.

Of course, these are all in the past.

In the final analysis, the reason why the 'First Fire Will' did this was because he was not capable of confronting Ember head-on, and could only make small moves.

But conversely, embers can also influence the 'will of the first fire' through the 'first fire' -

For example, based on the desire of the 'First Fire' for the 'King's Soul', suppress the will of the 'First Fire Will' and let Him fall into a cycle.

Without outside help, He may never be able to get out of it.

As far as Ember was concerned, he was now very sure that he would be able to completely destroy the First Flame Will, but that alone was not enough.

The fusion of the King's Soul and the essentia was already imperative, and this was bound to be counterattacked by the original all-out force. As an 'outsider', Ember can't completely control the essentia - the best proof of this is that the erosion of the 'Source Castle' by the Wang Soul has completely reached a stalemate.

So the embers must first become the 'primordial' before they can fully control the essentia.

In other words, he has to find a way to 'awaken' the 'primordial' in his body.

But this is not possible.

After all, the potions or extraordinary properties that Ember was taking had been completely purified by the First Fire, and there was no soil for the Primordial to revive in his body.

And the solution Ember came up with was very simple and crude-

Since there is no soil, find a way to make soil for the primordial.

The higher the sequence, the greater the chance of primary resuscitation.

Because revival in a higher order of people helps to reclaim authority better in the first place.

And the true god of sequence 0 is undoubtedly the first choice for primordial recovery, so Ember must first find a way to become sequence 0.

Otherwise, unless the original is blind, he will choose to resuscitate a Sequence 5 Extraordinary.

Suddenly.

Ember looked to the right as if he had felt something, and outside the window was the thick orange clouds and the gently surging deep blue sea.

Everything froze in the twilight, with no shadow and no sun, as if everything was normal.

Can be a second.

A huge figure 'falling from the sky'!

Bang!

With a huge roar, the tall figure crashed into the Giant King's Court, smashing into a tall tower.

The violent impact completely destroyed the tower, and the smoke and dust almost obscured the sky, but it still couldn't hide the full view of the figure—

That's a giant.

A body that was dozens of meters tall, the original gray-blue skin had turned blue, and the whole body was full of traces of decay and pus, and it was almost impossible to find a piece of intact skin on him! And his dull sunken eyes showed that he seemed to have lost his life a long time ago.

Syllable!

The giant slowly rose from the collapsed building, and gray-yellow gas diffused from his body, weaving into a large 'haze' in mid-air.

"Lord Bradle?"

In the hall outside the Giant King's residence, Grossel stood in front of the barricade with disbelief on his face.

Because the rotten giant is the youngest son of the giant king Ormir, and the god of honor of the former giant clan!

But now, the god is a walking corpse.

Even the 'haze' generated during its walking was constantly polluting every building in the Giant Court, and the gray-yellow cursed fog could even corrode the buildings of the Giant Court!

If this continues, the entire Giant Court will be destroyed!

Grossell's eyes were filled with sadness.

He thought that what had happened to Mirgungen was tragic enough, but he never thought that as a former god, Bradle's fate would be even more miserable. Even though he has been dead for thousands of years, he is still being manipulated to destroy his former home!

"I'm sorry, Lord Bradle, but I have to stop you!"

Grossell took a deep breath as he looked at the tall giant below who was unconsciously destroying all the buildings in front of him, and his eyes gradually became determined.

Even if this place has long since declined, even the giants have disappeared into the long river of history.

But this is still his home!

He would not allow anyone to destroy his homeland, not even the gods he once believed in!

"Wait."

Ember who came out of the Giant's abode stopped Grossell, who was about to leap off the balcony, and threw him a strange and quaint greatsword under the giant's puzzled gaze:

"Use this."

Syllable!

Grossell subconsciously caught the big sword, and a wonderful feeling welled up in his heart.

There was 'knowledge' about this sword, which also inexplicably appeared in his mind.

【Storm Keeper】

[A great sword with the nickname 'Giant Slayer'.]

The broken blade still retains the power of the storm.

It is said to be able to knock giants to the ground. 】

With the knowledge that emerged, a voice also sounded in his ears:

"Only a storm can knock down a tree."

Grossel was silent for a long time, and then said in an urn voice:

"Thank you, I'll pay you back."

He quickly jumped off the balcony and stood in front of the giant who was wreaking havoc, and raised the Storm Keeper in his hand with a determined look in his eyes—

Even though he had never used the weapon, his invisible 'knowledge' had taught him how to use it.

——

At the same time, in the dream world of the relics of the gods, in front of the projection of the Giant King's residence.

Wearing a peaked soft hat and a classical black robe, Amon sat on a tall gray and white railing, with his back to the orange-red road separating the sea of clouds, and leisurely looked at the gray-blue gate covered with golden nails, not knowing how long he had been waiting.

Suddenly, he straightened the monocle he was wearing in his right eye, and his tone was slightly surprised:

"Is it him?"

"Sure enough, I was right that I didn't go in person."

"It's not an ontology, but if you lose too many extraordinary characteristics, it will still give me a headache."

Amon smiled to himself, his eyes narrowing slightly

If it were someone else, even if it was a 'true creation', He would have had the opportunity to steal the 'Tablet of Blasphemy'.

But Ember is the only exception, not to mention stealing the desecrated slate, if it really appears in front of the other party, I'm afraid that even the location of the body will be exposed.

So even He had to give up.

Amon shook his head with some regret, it was not that he had no chance to steal the 'desecrated slate'.

After all, the 'blasphemy of the tablet' is important, but it is also like that for Him. After all, that is not his corresponding essentia, and he cannot directly help him, and at most he can only use it as a bargaining chip to trade with others.

What he regretted was that he could not appear before the embers.

For the Arab League, this existence, which once briefly left traces in history, made him extremely curious.

I wonder where the other party came from and what essentia it represents.

Unfortunately, even though he had mastered much of his ancient history from before the First Age, he had never been able to find a counterpart to the embers.

Judging by his father's attitude, it was clear that he knew a lot about embers.

If this is the case, then why has the other side not left any traces in history?

Amun thoughtfully said that this question could only be answered by the 'true creation' and the embers themselves.

Unfortunately, neither of them would have welcomed him very much, and probably would not have answered his questions.

The doubts in His heart may never be answered.

"But not necessarily."

Amon raised his eyebrows slightly, for he suddenly remembered someone—

His paranoid brother may know more than he does.

Honestly, even until now, he didn't know much about that paranoia, even if they were brothers.

His Father didn't trust them, at least compared to the other kings of angels.

They as His sons are less trusted.

Although it turned out that His father had believed the wrong man, He could understand why his father did it.

So just like His Father, He didn't trust the paranoid, and Adam didn't trust Him.

Well, however, Adam would not refuse to answer his question, after all, they had worked closely together many times over the past millennia.

The corners of Amon's mouth were slightly hooked, and his figure immediately softened, losing its sense of reality, and the light 'flowed' into the door.
