Finale, alternate
As the time for the demigod's death draws nearer, the Holy Empire will inevitably fall apart.
The king of troubled times is prosperous.
Whose glory will be born from the ruins of the Holy Empire?
Will it be the Red Brothers, who have connected countless races, to build a new empire, or will the Atwood, who abandoned his ancestors to gain the favor of the Ice Dancer, sweep the Endless Continent with frost, or will Edla, the demigod descendant who left the Continent of Truth, finally return as kings?
No one can say for sure.
And the source of all this, the demigod Uther has returned to the Endless Continent at this time.
Instead of returning directly to the human realm, he came to the active volcano of the Forest of Death to meet the ancient xenomorph unburner.
Ilmai was not at all surprised by his arrival.
I just looked at him silently for a long time before sighing, "I thought you would come later." ”
"Because I'm tired."
Uther's answer did not show that the two sides had fought to the death, but rather resembled a pair of old friends.
The world knows that more than 100 years ago, Ilmai was defeated by a demigod and had to escape into the active volcano of the Forest of Death to purify his bloodline and try to break through the shackles and become a demigod. But people don't know that the reason why Ilmai escaped with his whole body was not because of its strength enough to protect itself, but because the demigods had no murderous intentions towards it.
Yes, Uther's men showed mercy.
Just let Ilmai stop slaughtering the powerful of the human race, and restrain the snake people of the Terror Ze to stop waging war against the human kingdom again.
At that time, Ilmai didn't know why the demigods showed mercy.
Now, after enduring nearly two hundred years of loneliness and trying to impact the demigod realm, it has intermittently awakened the ancestral memories in its bloodline, and it roughly knows the reason.
Because demigods are not only an honor, but also a responsibility!
This responsibility is to protect the Endless Continent.
The inaccessible South of the Sunshine is actually a cage, and the powerful dragons and giants are the guardians.
The prisoners who are guarded are ancient xenomorph gold eaters.
The Gold Eater is not a beast or a man, but a designation for a race.
They resemble gold-eaters, but have the same structure as ant societies, where each group is led by a female beast, and the rest of the population is responsible for finding food for the mother beast all their lives.
Because the mother beast can evolve into a complete body and become a demigod by eating powerful beasts!
Once the mother beast steps into the demigod realm, one-third of the eggs that are regenerated will hatch into a power-level gold eater!
The most terrifying thing is that the mother beast has an amazing rate of reproduction.
The number of gold eaters in a race ranges from 500 to 2,000, and a group can breed from 15 to 25 in a year.
In other words, if it weren't for artificially curbing them from obtaining food sources and allowing a female beast to step into the realm of demigods, then this female beast would have been able to give birth to tens of thousands of strong people in just one year! It has the strength to devour all the intelligent races in the Endless Continent!
Moreover, they have a large number of people, nesting in the ground, distributed in every corner of the south of the sun, and cannot be extinct at all.
The Dragons and Giants, who are the guardians, are constantly hunting powerful beasts, preventing them from obtaining powerful food sources and reducing the chances of their mothers being promoted.
But this kind of rule of law does not cure the root cause.
It is impossible to completely contain the continuous increase in the strength of their mother beasts.
In this case, the demigods that came into being became the last line of defense to protect the Endless Continent.
For example, Uther quietly travels to the South of the Sun every ten years, and through the guidance of the dragons and giants, he finds the gold eater group that has grown in strength very quickly, and nibbles the danger in the cradle.
And Ilmai awakens such memories because it is an ancient xenomorph.
Many years ago, only ancient xenos could be promoted to demigods, the old enemies of the Gold Eaters.
If it weren't for this relationship, the non-burners would have been extinct long ago - if the dragon clan hadn't seen that the non-burners could step into the demigod realm, they would have allowed the non-burners to use their own race as a fertility tool!
As for why did the Terrans become demigods.......
During that time, the Ice Dancer Hadinis also failed in his assault on the Demigods, and the father of Ilmai the Unburner was besieged and killed by the Terran powerhouses before he could enter his full body, so the heavens would favor Uther.
This is also the reason why Uther did not kill Ilmai.
He knew that it would be difficult for the Terrans to welcome the heavens again, and Ilmai was the most likely ancient xenomorph to become a demigod after him, and the guardian of the Endless Continent in the future.
Now, before he was dying, he came to Ilmai to see how long it would be before his successor became a demigod.
and come and admit your own failures.
Yes, failed.
In the past, he single-handedly promoted the birth of the Holy Empire, hoping to completely eliminate the threat of the Gold Eater with the human race as the main body.
After all, the reproduction power of the human race is the most powerful of all intelligent races!
Moreover, the human race has a very good brain, and is very good at using the environment and tools to enhance its own strength.
As long as he migrates some of the Terrans to settle in the South of the Sun, with the assistance of the Dragons and the Giants, he can turn the entire South of the Sunshine into a human world step by step, and he can also devour all the Gold Eater races one by one!
However, the reality is ironic.
Terrans are too complex because they are too intelligent and outnumbered.
Each lord has his own selfish intentions, and his eyes are always on his own one-third of an acre of land, and he does not think about the distant future at all.
Or, rather, they have thought about it, but they don't want to be the one who pays for the future.
In the more than two hundred years since the establishment of the Holy Empire, the human world has been full of deceit and undercurrents, and Uther knows that his hopes cannot be realized. Because including himself, at the last moment, he did not take his descendants to the dangerous South of the Sun, but threw them to the relatively safe Truth Continent.
Now, though, he doesn't have to worry about that.
He was dying soon, and he had been tired a long time ago.
I came to see the active volcano in the Forest of Death, just to see how long it would take for Ilmai to become a demigod, and by the way, the Gold Eater will be its troubles in the future.
The demigods did not ask Ilmai if he would like to take on the task.
And Yirma did not refute the assignment.
Or, as an immortal, Ilmai knew that this was the meaning of God's creation of the ancient xenomorphs.
But what it didn't expect was that the demigod Uther would have so little time left for it.
Although it didn't know that Uther had consumed a drop of essence blood in his heart because of the family's descendants, it could see that the current demigod crown was about to die, and his time was short, and it was impossible to live for another three years!
Three years is too short.
Its massive body has shrunk in half, and its bones are denser; He has grown two upper limbs, wings that can fly, and a tail that is always flaming, and the long beard under the original jaw has been shortened to less than one meter, and he will become an ancestor when the two horns on the top of his head grow out, and he will step into the realm of demigods, but if the time limit is three years, it is completely impossible.
That's why it lamented that Uther had come a little early.
But Uther's "tired" reply made it impossible to blame anything.
It was a long time before it made a request, "I have a descendant in human form named Luke." When you return to the human world, let the city of Gardinanras out. I want Luke to become the Lord of the City, so that he can gather followers and build his own power, and maybe in the future he can settle in the South of the Sunshine and fulfill your unfinished hopes. ”
"Okay."
Without hesitation, the demigod Uther nodded.
Because he didn't give it, after he died, the Mills royal family couldn't stop Ilmai from asking for it in person, so why let the human kingdom go to war with the terrifying Ze?
When he had answered, he got up and walked out.
The purpose of his visit has been accomplished, and it is time for him to leave.
And as the only demigod in the history of the human race, he should die in the human realm.
