Al-Quds Callon.

Today is a very special day.

The centennial "Descent Ceremony" will begin at 8 o'clock this morning in the square in front of the Cathedral of Purity in the core area of the Holy City.

Even the transcendent may not live past the age of 100, so it is a great blessing to be able to participate in and witness a "divine descent ceremony" in person.

The sky was still bright, and when night and day were separated, almost all the people in the city and the tourists who came to visit walked out of the house, lined up in a long line on the main street in a spontaneous and orderly manner, bowed their heads slightly, and quietly and solemnly walked towards the main square in the core area.

No one speaks, no one talks, and on this high-profile day, any noise is a blasphemy.

When Roy walked out of the "Elk Hotel", he saw such a scene.

He followed the flow of people, integrated into the "pilgrimage" procession, and headed towards the Grand Place of Purity.

The Grand Plaza of Purity is very large, very large, and its original purpose was to accommodate enough people to witness the "descent ceremony".

Therefore, even if more than 100,000 people eventually merged, the pure grand square was not filled because of this.

In fact, there are many people who want to witness the "descent ceremony" up close, but the Pure Church has strict control, and in addition to the transcendental, ordinary people who want to enter must not only have a certain social status, but also need to meet a series of conditions.

If not, the number of people who will eventually arrive here will be at least more than 10 million.

It can be said that these people gathered in the Pure Grand Square at this moment are the absolute elite of the entire "Seventh Realm of Original Sin: Realm of Lust"!

The status of the transcendent allowed Roy to observe and witness from a relatively front-row position.

Along with him, there were a number of third-order professionals, about five or six hundred.

It sounds like a lot, but you must know that this is the size of a world, even if not all third-order professionals have come here, but it is also the vast majority, so that five or six hundred is already very few.

And what attracted Roy's attention the most were the nineteen most distinguished spectators sitting at the front of the audience, full of magic and brilliance, making it impossible to see the true face.

They are the mainstay of the mortal world, the strongest under the gods.

Fourth-Order Holy Diagram Professional!

It is equivalent to the existence of the Legendary Realm.

From the bodies of these nineteen fourth-order Saint Diagram practitioners, Roy felt an unusually heavy sense of pressure.

This meant that even if he tried his best, whether he could escape from the hands of a fourth-order Saint Diagram professional would depend on luck.

Just as there is a huge and irreparable gap between gold and legendary, there is also a gap between a third-order constructor and a fourth-order saint map professional.

The third-order constructs and the golden rank are still just people, while the fourth-order holy map and the legendary realm are already completely "inhuman".

To be honest, the number of fourth-order Saint Map professionals who appeared here was a little less than Roy had expected.

Although I don't know how many legendary knights there are in the Glow Empire, it is roughly estimated that there should still be more than twenty, and if you count the legends of the Kolai Empire and overseas remote places, the total number should be more than fifty.

But on second thought, Roy had a guess.

Either it is that the difficulty of the third-order construction of the "Demon Stigma" system to promote the fourth-order holy map is much greater than that of the gold promotion legend, or it is that some of the fourth-order holy map professionals cannot come here due to some urgent matter.

The reason why there was such a latter guess was because none of the fourth-order Saint Diagram professionals present were comparable to the legendary three-star knight Sima he had seen in terms of energy level fluctuations.

And the legendary three-star, converted into the Demon Mark System, is about the thirty-sixth to thirty-ninth level, that is, the fourth-order Holy Map high-level.

Roy didn't believe that this world would not have the existence of a fourth-order holy map at the high level or even the peak.

Looking at the "grand scene" in front of him, Roy had doubts in his heart.

Even though the real high-end combat power in this world has not appeared, there are thousands of first-order and second-order professionals, hundreds of third-order construction professionals, and nineteen fourth-order saint map professionals, such a heroic lineup, Roy is in the middle of it, it is really like a drop of water that melts into the sea, and he can't turn up a single wave.

In such a situation, what happened to prevent the "descent ceremony" from going smoothly?

And what can he do when he is weak?

Doubts brewed in Roy's mind, but time didn't stop there.

When the morning sun rises, as the huge bell at the top of the Pure Cathedral rings in the sky, a circle of golden halo visible to the naked eye spreads out from the center of the Pure Cathedral to all directions, and in less than a second, it envelops the sky above the holy city of Karlón.

Countless pale golden points of light sprinkled from the sky one after another in the process of spreading the ring, this scene was like a dream.

The shallow sound of prayer came from the crowd, and then quickly spread, and everyone, including the nineteen fourth-order Saint Diagram practitioners at the front, bowed their heads and prayed sincerely.

Roy bowed his head slightly, his lips and teeth opened and closed, but no sound came out, highlighting a "promiscuity".

The chanting lasted for fifteen minutes, and when the sound stopped, the pale golden rain of light falling from the sky came to an end.

At the top of the Cathedral of Purity, the clear bell rang again.

"Bell!"

In the afterglow of the bells.

The sound of a heavy shaft sounded, and a gap appeared in the middle of the closed church door that was nearly twenty meters high, and then slowly opened to both sides.

At this moment, there seemed to be a pure white brilliant light emanating from the crack in the door, causing Roy, who was paying attention in this direction, to squint.

As the light softened, a figure appeared in Roy's eyes.

It was a girl who was about 1.6 meters tall and wore a plain white snow-like dress.

The silver hair ring tied her long golden hair as bright as the sun into a simple bunch behind her, condensed like beautiful jade skin, revealing a faint fluorescence.

- Pure Saint.

She walked out of the open church door step by step, like a goddess descending to the world, so that everyone who looked at her had unprecedented peace in their hearts, as if at this moment, the filth of the soul dissipated and returned to the "purity" of the first birth.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the pure saint walked quietly and elegantly across the red carpet, surrounded the stairs, and ascended to the high platform.

The rising sun fell on the body of the pure saint, as if draped it with a golden veil.

The girl's long, deep eyes swept ahead, and finally fixed in the direction of the north, and she folded her hands in front of her chest, as if praying, as if prescribing, blessing.

"Bell—"

At the top of the Cathedral of Purity, the third bell rang leisurely.

On the high platform, a girl in a snow-white dress began to dance.

Her movements are so simple that even those who have never learned dance can easily imitate them, but such simple movements are full of an indescribable feeling.

It seems to have cleared the turbid black mud and revealed the purity of the deepest depths.

A dance of the moon and the moon made everyone's hearts ripple.

After the dance, the pure saint walked to the center of the high platform, knelt down gently, held her hands in front of her, and lifted them to a high place.

This is the noblest rite of the pure church—mercy.

Believers who have washed away their own filth pray for the mercy of the gods with the purest body.

At the moment when the Pure Saint completed her "pity", at the top of the Pure Cathedral, a golden pillar of light rose to the sky and disappeared into the mist-shrouded sky.

The mighty golden light washed away layer after layer of clouds, making the sky and earth appear clear blue.

"Click......"

At this moment, there was a crisp sound in everyone's hearts.

It was the sound of the sky cracking.

A tree-like purple crack that spanned tens or hundreds of kilometers appeared in the sky.

Looking at this spectacular scene, Roy's heart was shocked with indescribable shock.

In the midst of this great crack in the sky, he felt smaller than an ant.

At the same time, this also made Roy have doubts in his heart.

The "Divine Descent Ceremony" has basically come to an end, and the next step is the arrival of miracles, spreading divine light and bestowing divine graces.

The success of the "Divine Descent Ceremony" is a given.

Well, the goal of his mission, to ensure the smooth conduct of the "descent ceremony" is simply pointless.

He is like a passer-by, who does not need to do anything at all to successfully accomplish his goal.

Until now, it is impossible for the "Divine Descent Ceremony" to fail......

"Click!"

A huge sound of shattering appeared in everyone's hearts.

In the next moment, in the horrified eyes of everyone, the sky shattered.

This is not an adjective, but a celestial dome as far as the eye can see, and at this moment, suddenly there are fine cracks in the shape of spider webs.

The color of the crack is not the dark purple of the previous tree-like crack, but a deep black, an extreme dirt that makes people instinctively feel uncomfortable and want to vomit after the first glance.

A huge black heart with a diameter of one meter suddenly appeared above the golden light rushing from the top of the Pure Cathedral, blocking the rise of the golden light.

In the next moment, countless sticky black mud seeped out from the black cracks in the sky, turning into drops of black rain and falling to the earth.

"Tick!"

The first drop of black mud fell to the ground, and the grass that was splashed became gray and black in a very short time, and the originally weak weeds suddenly began to grow wildly, more tenacious and thicker, and a few passers-by on the side were involved in it, accompanied by the terrifying sound and screams of "click", blood and water flowed out of the cracks in the leaves.

Not only plants, but also animals, after being touched by the black rain, have undergone terrifying mutations, and their bodies have become deformed, crazy and extremely aggressive.

All life, after being touched by the black mud, undergoes horrific deformities, even humans.

The ordinary people who were touched by the black mud began to wail in frenzied pain.

Those who couldn't make it through turned into deformed monsters twisted like black mud, and even those who survived either had gray-black scales on their bodies or sharp claws on their fingers...... All kinds of changes, and so on.

Even those transcendents who had cultivated the Demon Mark did not perform much better in the face of black mud.

The existence of black mud is only an appearance, and it seems to have infected the magic power of heaven and earth from the root, changing its nature.

Once the magic power between heaven and earth changes, all the people who practice the demon mark will inevitably be affected, and the higher the strength, the deeper the impact.

The first to bear the brunt was the nineteen fourth-order Saint Diagram professionals closest to the high platform.

As the closest group of people to the gods in the Demon Mark System, they are the most deeply integrated with the magic power, so the changes are becoming more and more drastic.

"Bang!"

In the continuous explosions, the nineteen fourth-order Saint Diagram professionals who sensed that something was wrong immediately launched an attack on the huge black heart that blocked the golden light, but as soon as their bodies took off into the air, the huge black heart in mid-air suddenly beat suddenly.

"Boom-"

A circle of black pulse waves started with a huge black heart and spread to the entire Holy City of Carlon in an instant.

The bodies of the fourth-order Saint Diagram professionals who bore the brunt of the attack continued to explode with blood mist, and at the same time, the muscles, bones, nerves, and other body structures all grew wildly, and in less than a second, the fourth-order Saint Diagram professionals who were originally in an extraordinary posture all turned into earth-shattering black mud monsters with a height of hundreds of meters.

Their huge, deformed size surrounded the golden platform where the only "pure place" in this world, the Pure Holy Maiden, was located.

And behind the nineteen fourth-order Saint Diagram professionals, it was the third-order, second-order, and first-order professionals who were more periphery.

In the midst of pain and roaring, all the professionals, without exception, all turned into deformed black mud monsters of different shapes!

Roy looked up dumbfounded.

He looked at the "grand scene" of the drastic changes in front of him, and looked at the golden high platform led by nineteen black mud trolls of hundreds of meters and surrounded by nearly 100,000 black mud monsters, and fell into a stupor.

As a "traveler from another world" who does not belong to this world, he has never absorbed the special magic power of this heaven and earth, and he has not been directly eroded by the black mud, but the black rain falling from the sky has also brought him a lot of influence.

He needs to consume his fighting energy to counteract this corrosive and destructive "black mud".

At this moment, all the deformed black mud monsters were frantically attacking the high platform that emitted golden light, and none of them took Roy.

The surface of the high platform is protected by a ring of golden light masks, but no matter how tough the protective barrier is, it will not last long in the face of this offensive with both quality and quantity.

Three minutes later.

With the sound of "click" shattering, in the end, the golden light mask slammed and exploded into countless points of light, and under the protection of the light mask, the pure saint who had maintained a "pity" posture from beginning to end was also covered by the palms of nineteen black mud trolls of hundreds of meters in the next second.

At the last moment of her life, the Pure Saint did not continue to maintain a posture of "pity", but set her eyes on the north.

Like an ordinary girl, she folded her hands and prayed sincerely.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the high platform was crushed into powder.

As soon as the Pure Saint died, the golden light rising from the Cathedral of Purity gradually dimmed, and eventually, disappeared completely.

The last hope of this world has dissipated.

Roy's mind came to this realization.

If the Pure Saintess hadn't died, if someone could break through the huge black heart in mid-air, maybe there would be room for redemption.

But all of this has now become a dream bubble.

The deformed black mud monsters that shattered the last "hope" set their eyes on the only "foreign object" in the area, Roy, who still remained in human form.

Suddenly, Roy laughed.

"Haha...... Ha ha...... Hahahaha! ”

He laughed so hard that tears flowed from his eyes.

After knowing that he would die and completely fail in this opportunity, he let it go.

"Wrong...... Wrong......"

He looked to the north, then looked up at the black clay palm that was pressing down from the top of his head.

"Next time, everything will be different!"

"Knock ——!"

With the roar, Roy's eyes fell into darkness, and when the light returned to light, he was already on the edge of the beach with the crashing waves.

Not far away, is the familiar flower fishing village.

He returned to the place where the "dream" began.

Roy lowered his head and looked at his hands intently, and for a long time, a smile spread across his face when he came back to his senses.

"Haha...... Hahaha! ”

All fears come from the unknown.

Now, knowing the "catastrophe" that will occur on the "Divine Descent Ritual", Roy is relieved.

And, at the last minute, Roy finally realizes a crucial place that he has overlooked all along!
