There was no 'poof' sound.

Because that sword didn't stab out - Zhao Yingkong was not so reckless that the Daxizhou team was not far away, so he casually interfered to destroy the extent to which he didn't understand things. She just showed this inclination as a validation.

Verify the one who led her here, revealing it all to her purpose.

And she accomplished her goal.

"I suggest you don't do that, at least, not right now." The Blade of Mogul blocked Zhao Yingkong's path, and the individual who appeared in the depths of this boiling doomsday magma had the appearance of a ring spirit.

It is indeed a ringing spirit.

A special, powerful Ring Spirit - his name is Talion, and he was the strongest of the Ring Spirits before Zhao Fukong entered. However, when the King of the Rings was crowned, he lost all sense of his existence, and behaved almost exactly like the other Ringwraiths.

He should have disappeared with Sauron's fading.

He was supposed to perish when the glass destroyed all the rings of power in the tower.

And yet, here he stands. And it was he who guided Zhao Yingkong to this place before she tried to leave, hiding in this place where there should not be any living creatures.

This is the Volcano of Doom, the beacon of doom in Middle-earth, the place where all the sources of calamity are. Adam and his psychic powers undoubtedly swept the land over and over again as they cleared Mordor. And even those powerful fourth-order reincarnators had no idea of going deep into the interior of the erupting volcano at all.

But Zhao Yingkong was here—she pressed the sarcophagus beside her, feeling the terrifying heat wave coming from the apocalyptic lava. She was sure that her current shell was not strong enough to stand up to the flames that had accumulated the power of destruction. If you have to insist, then it will be difficult to exceed 100 seconds. That is, an individual like Jiang Yu, who specializes in defense, can endure this kind of power, and perhaps Zheng Zhe, who is transformed in essence, can also carry it.

But the flames, the lava didn't come close to her—they formed a massive cavity deep in the boiling pool. It looked like a giant bubble in magma.

"Let's talk." Zhao Yingkong stared at the ring spirit in front of her, as the main personality, she was dominating this body. "Why did you bring me here. Why did you stop me from helping Zhao Shukong, why did you tell me that Zhao Shukong cared more about the hidden things in this sarcophagus than his own life? ”

She had wanted to fight with Zhao Fukong at the end of the battle of Mordor, but when the Doomsday Volcano erupted and the Mordor defense line collapsed. The hidden Ringwraith used this reason to stop her from doing so. And when Zhao Weikong was defeated at an unexpected speed, she finally chose this path with an unknown future.

And she was rightfully suspicious.

"A deal, a contract, that's all." Talion's voice flowed from under his cloak, and the emotion in his voice was akin to relief. "And my trader told me that you know exactly what is hidden in this sarcophagus."

Zhao Yingkong did know what was hidden in this sarcophagus—when she saw the Tower of Sauron collapse and the sarcophagus at the base of the tower falling off, she knew that this coffin contained something familiar to her. Because of this, she gave up fighting her brother to the end, because in the slight breath of this sarcophagus, she sensed the void.

Zhao Weikong's statement is true, and Ruikong does still have remnants. And compared to the brother who can basically be determined to be incorrigible, the sister whose situation is unknown is naturally more worthy of protection.

But that doesn't mean she's willing to stop there.

"If you want to show kindness, be more detailed. If you're looking for someone to talk to, then I have time to hear the end. ”

The Death Divine Power in her body was working, and she knew that the Ranger Ring Spirit in front of her was sufficient. For in the next moment, she saw Ranger Talion raise his left hand, and a ring of power still in operation was worn on top of his hand.

That Ring of Power was different.

"Do you know how the One Ring was born?" The Ranger stared at the ring in his palm, a faint fire flickering in his inhuman eyes. "It actually came into being later than the Elven Three Rings - it was the Elven forger Celebrimbor who forged the Elven Three Rings in the beginning, and then Sauron learned the art of forging the One Ring. In history, Celebrimbor was soon killed by Sauron, and the technology of forging the Ring of Power belonged only to Sauron. ”

“…… I guess that Celebron isn't dead? ”

"Dead. But death is not the end. Tarion shook his head slightly. In this land, physical death does not mean the end of the soul. Celebrimbor lost his body, just as he had been destroyed by Sauron in the Dark Ages. And his soul is just as quietly lurking as Sauron, waiting for revenge and correction of his own mistakes. However, in the long passage of time, the originally noble will of the elves has gradually become dirty. ”

"He has mastered the art of forging the Ring, and he is trying to correct his mistakes by forging another One Ring and gaining more power than Sauron. And in order to forge a new ring, he must first have a shell that can be smelted and worn by the ring. And the body he chose happened to be me. ”

If there are veteran gamers from the other world here. Then you will find that Talion's narration is basically the same as the game flow of the two outer canons of "Middle-earth: Shadow Mordor/Shadow of War", with only a few subtle differences in the details - Talion, who is an ordinary Gondor ranger, was accidentally chosen by Celebrion after his death, and his experience after death can be described as magnificent.

He helped the Elven Forgeer complete the second One Ring, and he cooperated with it and calculated with each other. In the end, Celebrilbon was defeated twice at the hands of Sauron. The second One Ring, which could not rule over the Rings and could not restore Sauron's power, was sealed. Tarion, who had lost his collaborator, was eventually forced to wear a lost Ring of Power, became a Ringwraith, and was forced to submit to Sauron's control.

His narration was detailed and fast. Because of this magnificent life, it is more like a constraint for him. Soon, Zhao Yingkong, as a listener, knew the cause and effect of everything.

“…… Eventually, I became what I looked like. Sauron knew I hated it, and knew I didn't want to destroy it all the time. But it still drove me to use me as an ordinary ringwraith. I can't resist, I can't even do anything against it, but I still hate Sauron, and I want to erase it once and for all. ”

His gaze was on the sarcophagus.

"I thought I would never find this opportunity, and I would never be able to defeat that monster from antiquity. But at this time, my collaborator, Alessandra, approached me, and through me, she made a bet on Sauron. ”

"She is willing to sacrifice the soul of a strong man, and she is willing to use her body and soul as a shackle to drive that strong man. And what she gambled on was that Sauron could not control the strong man, and her victory was the freedom of the strong man. ”

Zhao Ruikong was resurrected because of this, but he was also forced to witness Zhao Ruikong's fall at his own hands. It's more of a gift than a transaction. Because there was no order to restrain Sauron, Sauron was naturally able to use any means to tie himself more strongly to his newly acquired gloves.

Second One Ring...... Sauron transformed it into the Tenth Ring, far surpassing the Nine Commandments of Humans. It is the only power vessel that can carry Zhao Fukong's soul.

"I have to give Sauron an admonition, but Sauron is confident in his skills. So I introduced her to Sauron, because I read the same confidence in her eyes as I did when I traded with her. ”

"And you 'accidentally' told her that Sauron has a second One Ring." Zhao Yingkong narrowed her eyes.

She didn't get a response to it, but she did read a little pleasure in the face under the shadows. Apparently, the help that Talion provided to his collaborators was not all. But there is no need for him to go into detail.

After all, this is how things have been.

Neither the deal nor the collaboration was completed, but Sauron had faded. And compared to this imminent crisis of destruction, Sauron's survival has long become an insignificant issue.

"There is no need for my deal with her to continue. I can't kill Sauron with my own hands, but I've seen the fall of Mordor and the disappearance of Sauron. And then, even if it doesn't die in the end of the world, neither you nor the terrible Creator will survive in the end. ”

"My wish has been granted. But I know too much. Sauron still reigns over the ring of power to which I have bound. And once it realizes something is wrong and recalls me, then it has the potential to come to life. ”

He looked at the tumbling lava outside the bubble.

"Thankfully, this is the heart of the furnace where Sauron and Celebrimbor forged the One Ring. Its will, for the time being, will not be able to get here. His hand passed through the layer of isolated gas, and threw his armor and the ring of power it wore into the hot magma of the Doomsday Volcano. His form then disintegrated with the Ring of Power. And before he was completely annihilated, he said his last words to Zhao Yingkong, who was the master of the personality.

"I also wish you the best of luck."

He's dead.

Zhao Yingkong watched the end of this stranger, and silently shifted his gaze to the sarcophagus in front of him. She gently touched the surface of the sarcophagus. And in the next moment, her will arrives in an imaginary world.

Spiritual power, Zhao Ruikong's tricks.

When she opened her eyes, she was greeted by a delicate and gorgeous garden. A dark-haired girl who had not been seen for a long time was sitting in the middle of the garden, and a small table with refreshments was in front of her.

"Long time no see, Sister Sakura." The girl's voice was as usual. "Would you like to come over for some tea?"

Zhao Yingkong didn't remember that his sister had the habit of drinking afternoon tea in the garden. But she approached her anyway.

"Are you Zhao Ruikong, or Alexandra?" She doesn't like to beat around the bush.

And she got an immediate answer.

"Does it matter?" The girl in front of her blinked, and a golden thread appeared in the end of her dark hair.
