215 Did I Let You Run?
β¦β¦
Astral Plane.
Twin Paradise Ruins.
Under the gaze of the gods with different eyes.
The astral remnants of the five-colored dragon god Baruch were eventually eaten by Ecmond's head.
Baruch was defeated so quickly.
On the one hand, it was because Ekmund used very new otherworldly magic that was difficult to watch out for.
On the other hand, it was also because his own astral body was only barely enough to reach the standard of weak divine power.
As the bait of this operation of Tianlun Palace.
Baruch is actually just the object of the Seven Saints Alliance's prestige and anger.
Everyone present knew it.
Most well-informed people had already learned by this time that Baruch's Divine Descent Vessel had also been destroyed.
So far.
The five-colored dragon god Baruch lost 2/3 of his power.
For a long time to come, he would probably have to retreat into his own kingdom, the island of Eternal Gathering.
This is still on the premise that the alliance does not trouble him.
"Well, Baruch has already received the punishment he deserves, and it is not a wise choice to continue to show off force at this time."
The god of glow and knowledge jumped out.
His tone was much colder than before:
"Mr. Ekmond, I want you to realize for yourself that the reason why we didn't stop you was not because you were strong, but because you carried another person's seal."
"You shouldn't be willful because of this, you should be more cautious."
Ekmond smiled.
Of course, he understood the root cause of the gods' jealousy of him.
Isabelle, who devoured the Chaos Mystery Lock, is a super bomb.
And he was the only one who could control that bomb.
The gods are jealous of themselves.
In fact, he was afraid of the bomb on his body.
Ekmond knows this better than anyone.
And even further.
"A bomb is only as threatening as it is when it doesn't explode."
This was an important argument he used to convince Isabel and the other Alliance mages.
As of now.
This argument is quite correct.
Present.
Ekmund stared at the out-of-focus white pupils of the Glowlight and the Lord of Knowledge:
"Every day before that, I was holding myself to the standards of your mouth.
I believe that the Seven Holy Alliances should represent absolute rationality and civilization.
I think we should approach anything without emotion.
But today I'm tired.
I don't want to be so sane anymore.
Why can my teachers be willful, my peers can be willful, my students can be willful-
The only thing that requires me to be absolutely san?
Caught between mages and gods, I used to always hope to find a relatively rational and win-win approach.
But the result is that both ends are not pleased.
So today I just want to say:
What does the destruction of the world have to do with me? β
As soon as this statement came out.
The atmosphere inside the ruins became even more tense.
The gods fell silent.
Ekmond has always been the lubricant between the Seven Saints Alliance and Tianlun Palace.
In the past.
He always plays the role of persuading everyone to take care of the big picture.
But when such characters show their crazy side, it proves that the situation has indeed progressed to the point where water and fire are incompatible.
A moment later.
The god of war said coldly:
"That's why I said a long time ago, mages are all the same dogs, and after removing the disguise, you and your teacher are exactly the same!"
Ekmond's eyes lit up:
"It's the best compliment I've ever heard today."
The Lord of the Storm and the Sea said rudely:
"Stop talking about it!"
"You know our needs and intentions, and we must enter the main material realm, where our roots are located!"
"You also need us, the odd number of days is about to erupt, and a group of mages can't deal with such a cosmic-level catastrophe at all!"
Ekmond said calmly:
"Then follow my plan, and you all return to Tianlun Palace first."
"You promise to give up all of your godheads and realms, and we'll give out a certain amount of reincarnation channels on a regular basis - if you really want to return to the main material realm, you won't care about the price, right?"
The god of glow and knowledge sighed:
"As you can see, most of us have completely renounced the Godhead, and we will not be able to survive in the outer planes for long."
"Tianlun Palace has shown its determination to make a desperate bet, are you really going to push us to a dead end?"
He then added:
"The reason why we're still looking for negotiations right now isn't because of you and Isabel, but because of the nameless mage, he's the one who is best qualified to represent the Scourge mage, isn't it?"
Ekmond nodded:
"You're right."
"But the Nameless Mage never intervenes in the Alliance's decision-making at the level of specific matters, this is his usual style."
"He will only give us some suggestions that he thinks is feasible, and the plan I have drawn up is an extension of his suggestions, and it is currently the agreement that the two sides are most likely to accept and agree on."
The god of war said angrily:
"Is your so-called win-win solution that we lay down all our weapons and become your lambs or even slaves?"
Ekmond sarcastically said without flinching:
"Is it because you've treated us like this, so you think we'll do the same to you?"
"The Seven Holy Alliances have always maintained an open attitude towards the reincarnated person, whether he was a god or a visitor from another world during his lifetime, we didn't interfere even the slightest, of course you know this, don't you?"
The gods were silent again.
Right now.
The Son of Winter, who had some friendship with Ekmond, suddenly stepped forward.
He looked straight at Ekmond:
"But the plan you said, you didn't get it approved within the Seven Saints Alliance, right?"
"I'm willing to give up my divine power and realm now, I just want to return to my hometown, can you let me in?"
Ekmund was silent for two seconds, then said:
"As long as you return to Tianlun Palace first, I will try to convince them."
The god of war immediately sneered:
"So you expect us to put our own safety on your efforts?"
Ekmond treats the Winter Child well.
But in front of the god of war, he never had a good face:
"If our positions are reversed, I'm afraid none of the gods will care about the life or death of the mage."
"Will you think of you as I do?"
The god of war choked and frowned, but he couldn't say why.
"That's because we're far stronger than you!"
"After losing the Scourge Mage, the Seven Saints Alliance is not qualified to rule Aindor at all!"
The Lord of the Storm and the Sea said loudly:
"If the Scourge Mage is still here, I'm afraid you're a different face now, am I wrong?"
Ekmond smiled:
"Thankfully, you remember the Scourge Mage, do you need me to warn you - she's only temporarily out of this world, maybe just going on an interstellar trip.
She could return at any time. β
"She must have more knowledge than I do when it comes to dealing with the gods."
One mention of the Scourge Mage.
The faces of the gods changed.
Some of the grumpy gods suddenly began to curse the streets.
Some are responsible for yin and yang.
However, in the face of the gods' rhetoric.
Ekmond always maintained an attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, and choked back all the words of the other party in a lively conversation.
He said many, many things.
It sounds like it makes sense, but when you think about it, he doesn't promise anything.
Ultimately.
The Seven Saints Alliance he represented was never willing to back down on the matter of permanent barriers.
Negotiations between the two sides gradually reached an impasse.
Suriel watched coldly.
There was a hint of appreciation in her eyes as she looked at Ekmond.
"Is he stalling for time? Is it because of the equilibrium node? β
Linde's voice rang in her heart.
Surrell nodded slightly.
For an existence like them, it is natural to clearly feel the birth and disappearance of each equilibrium node.
Most of these equilibrium nodes are located in the main material realm.
That is, the territory controlled by the Seven Holy Alliance.
It's actually very beneficial to them.
As long as there is no chaos in their own territory, the final result of most equilibrium nodes must be to their own home.
At that time, the Astral Battlefield will also benefit from the favor of fate.
"Isabel's student movement is always enviable, and Ekmond may be even better than we expected."
Surrell responded to Linde.
Linde's attitude was relatively cold:
"Hmm. It can't be said that Isabel is a student, she was really good at discovering a person's strengths in her early years. β
"But what's going on in Ekmond's realm? Ten areas of mastery? Is he really that good? β
"And wasn't the realm of thaumaturgy just developed by Ronan?"
Speaking of which.
Ronan also took the opportunity to join their private chat channel:
"The realm of thaumaturgy is indeed something I've just developed, and maybe Ekmund has found a similar approach elsewhere."
"I just think his thaumaturgical fruit is eight or nine points similar to the one I pulled out of the coffin of the goddess of magic!"
"Could it be that the Goddess of Magic left more than one thaumaturgical fruit?"
"But it doesn't matter, I'm already a leader in the thaumaturgical realm, and when I go home and digest that thaumaturgical fruit, I can even consider weaving a magic net in Aindor!"
Hearing this, Surreil's face suddenly turned strange.
She instantly learned the origin of Ekmond's thaumaturgical fruit.
But now this juncture.
She can't tell Ronan that your house might have been burglarized, can she?
And so.
As Ronan frantically dreams about how to weave a magical web in his private chat channel.
She could only hide her embarrassment with a slight cough from time to time.
On the contrary, Ekmond, who was equally aware of all this, could still stand by Ronan's side without changing his face.
At the same time as the war of words with the gods.
Don't forget to take the time to give Ronan some advice to the magic web.
The level of shamelessness is truly breathtaking.
Ekmond's ineffective dialogue with the gods makes one drowsy.
But at least the atmosphere at the scene was not so tense.
It's in this round of temptation.
The alliance side has also gradually figured out the details of the gods-
They did get something very important from under the bridge of beings.
Most of them did give up their Godhead.
But the permanent barrier is still an insurmountable barrier for them.
If the gods really could cut a hole in the eternal barrier, as they say.
They probably did it on the sly a long time ago.
It will not be a rough game as it is today, and then it will forcibly trigger negotiations between the two sides.
Ultimately.
Or they can't afford to wait!
After figuring it all out.
Gradually, the initiative returned to the side of the alliance.
The strength of the alliance is indeed inferior to Tianlun Palace.
But the legacy of the Scourge mages was enough to make the gods mad with jealousy.
"Everyone, we can no longer pursue today's matter, provided that you must return to Tianlun Palace.
There is also room for improvement in the proposal I mentioned earlier.
There is no point in fighting us now.
What if you could kill us all?
Immaculate barriers are impregnable.
This is the reality.
Be aware of this. β
Ekmund smiled and said to the gods:
"Even if you give up your godhead, Tianlun Palace can still be inhabited, isn't it?"
The gods have not yet responded.
A gloomy voice suddenly sounded from the sky:
"It's all up to this, you so-called gods won't still believe in the promises of hypocritical mages, will you?"
"Compared to hundreds of years ago, your power has been drained by them!"
"This is a conspiracy written on their faces, if this is acceptable, you should go back to Tianlun Palace as soon as possible, and when my fleet sets foot on the main material realm, maybe you can come over and compete for the favored ministers of His Majesty the Emperor."
That moment.
Everyone was surprised to perceive that above the starry sky above the ruins, four giant ships of the size of an asteroid suddenly appeared!
And the source of the sound is a space necro wearing a steel mask!
"Necromantic Prince?!"
Ekmond looked at the space necrons that suddenly appeared.
This person has an extremely strong aura of aggression on him.
His strength is not below that of a god mage.
And the four space archons behind him actually have the strength of a high-ranking legend!
The appearance of the Necronomicon Prince and the Space Archon suddenly made the atmosphere of the scene that had been relaxing even more tense.
Sturluk Industries' aggressive aggression and construction in the astral plane have long attracted everyone's attention.
It's just that neither the gods nor the Alliance have the strength to interfere with the outer planes.
But they are all well aware of the terrifying strength of this alien race from the depths of the astral plane!
"As long as you nod your head and completely close the Divine Realm barrier, the 'Singularity Cannon' of the Dead will be able to directly aim at the Eternal Barrier."
"I have never believed that there is an absolutely perfect defense in this world, and it only takes three shots at most for me to carve a dimensional passage on the permanent barrier."
The Necromantic Prince spoke to the gods:
"My advice is that while you still have some use, it's better to make a decision sooner."
"Once we're more prepared, the Death's artillery fire may be aimed at Tianlun Palace."
Suriel stepped forward:
"Necromantic Prince, I remember that the Seven Holy Alliances and Sturluk Industries once signed a secret agreement......"
The Necromantic Prince laughed and said:
"You're also talking about a secret agreement, don't do it!"
"Of course, if your alliance can open the permanent barrier now and let my fleet in, we can also sit down at the negotiating table and discuss the details."
"All in all, no matter what the attitude of your alliance is, it is an irrevocable trend that Sturluk Industries will sweep through the main material realm, the Antu Empire will be reborn in Aindor, and the Great Emperor will build his Galactic Throne in the mortal world, all these are prophecies in the Book of Eternity, and no one can change this."
Surrell glanced at the four fleets suspended in the astral plane with awe-inspiring eyes.
Gold coins jumped out of her half-plane and turned into dust.
A moment later.
She's learned all about the Space Necrons' Starship and Singularity Cannon!
"The Necronomical Prince's Death is one of the most powerful starships of the Antu Empire, and the Singularity Cannon on it has extremely terrifying destructive power, the good news is that the Singularity Cannon has a very demanding energy demand, and Sturluk Industries has been building a variety of energy stations, and in the end, it can only fire three cannons at most......"
Suriel quickly shared information with others.
The mages' expressions were all very serious.
Although there were only three guns.
But every singularity cannon would require a mage to do his best to barely block it.
But under the watchful eye of this group of enemies.
I don't know how many chances I have of surviving after blocking it!
"Don't close the Divine Realm barrier yet, we can continue to negotiate with each other."
Ekmund hurriedly spoke to the gods.
The walls of the main material realm are mainly composed of three layers -
The first layer is a natural plane crystal wall;
The second layer is the divine barrier built by the gods;
The third layer is the permanent barrier built by the Scourge Mage;
If Tianlun Palace closes the Divine Realm barrier.
Then with the strength of the Singularity Cannon, it is really possible to make a hole in the permanent barrier!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ekmond."
The god of glow and knowledge sighed softly:
"We want to return so much, as the Prince of the Dead said, the Alliance has no sincerity towards us, so we have no choice but to cooperate with them."
In that moment.
The mages could instantly feel the protective shield that surrounded the main material realm disappearing completely!
Obviously.
Tianlun Palace and Sturluk Industries may have reached an agreement a long time ago.
The scene from before.
It was the last attempt of the gods.
In the end, reality made them choose to cooperate with space necromancers.
That moment.
The Necronomicon smiled and raised his hand.
Starships began to reassemble and deform rapidly, turning into neatly arranged rings.
The center of the ring glows with a brilliant white light.
That's exactly the sign that the singularity cannon is brewing!
"It's too late......"
Linde's voice rang in the ears of the other mages.
Bang!
An invisible white light shot out of the ring before the sound could be heard.
Shoot violently at the surface of the planet Ayndor!
The next moment.
A huge round shield appeared in front of the white light!
Zizizizi!
The white light instantly melted the shield.
The aftermath of the singularity cannon hit the permanent barrier, and it did not stir up too many ripples.
"Linde!"
Surreel snapped at his companion.
The latter's body was burning with white flames at an astonishing temperature.
Divine mage Linde coughed up blood and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
Can be a second.
The second singularity cannon lit up inside the ring again!
When the same white light flickered again.
Everyone present heard the sound of the gold coin shattering!
Ultimately.
The second singularity cannon struck a huge, yellow and clear super gold coin!
This time, the aftermath of the singularity cannon provoked a strong energy reaction on the permanent barrier!
Surreel's face was extremely pale.
That almost consumed all of her mana just now!
But there is a third shot of the singularity cannon!
The Necro Prince was silent, just looking greedily at the planet Ayndor.
He raised his right hand again.
For the third time, a bright white light lit up within the ringβ
But who else can resist this time?
The mages looked nervously in the direction of the Eternal Barrier.
At this time.
It seems that one can only hope that the power left by the Scourge Mage can perfectly defuse the last singularity cannon.
However, at the moment when the white light was about to leave the ring.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of the striking point where the singularity cannon was aiming!
"Ekmond!"
The crowd exclaimed.
β¦β¦
Mossy green hills.
When the red dragon Kusulus rushed to the battlefield with an army of 2,000 men.
Verdict 07 and Verdict 09 appeared in front of him in unison to warn him.
However, the red dragon Kusulus said unhurriedly:
"Red Earth Mountain chose to abandon the battle in this round of war."
"Isn't sneak attack also a part of the war order?"
"I just want to avenge my countrymen, it's not against the rules of the Alliance, is it?"
"Trouble the two of you."
The two adjudicators looked at each other.
They had just received Roderick's dragon slaying order, though they didn't understand what was going on.
But they all realized one thing-
The Red Dragon's plot must be stopped!
And yet at this very moment.
A gentle voice also came from behind them:
"Trouble the two of you."
Sting.
That's the sound of the scroll being torn.
Before the two adjudicators could react.
The red dragon Kusules was the first to smell the crisis!
He looked up behind the two mages.
That moment.
The Red Dragon's Revenant Adventure β
But behold, under the sun and above the sky, there were golden coins floating there!
The 100,000 gold coins swirled around Matthew like quicksand.
The next second.
All the gold coins crumbled at a breakneck speed.
And Matthew suddenly has an extra spear in his hand!
"Fei Capital's Dragon Slayer Spear"!
"No!"
The red dragon Kusulus was awakened to fear deep in his veins.
He fled in a hurry without looking back.
However, at this time.
Matthew's spell was already locked on the other party's body.
"Did I let you run?"
A faint voice sounded.
Matthew's figure quickly vanished.
Followed by.
He instantly appeared on the back of the red dragon.
The golden spear in his hand bloomed brightly.
Driven by magical powers.
Matthew stabbed the spear in his hand down with all his might!
There was a crunch pop.
Immediately after.
It's the red dragon's dying wail!
Rumble!
In the golden light.
The red dragon, who had just escaped about 100 meters, fell heavily on the hill.
His body was completely pierced by a golden spearβ
The tip of the spear thrust through the back of his back, stabbed out of his chest, pierced through the red dragon's jaw, and pierced through the bridge of his nose again!
Ultimately.
This incredible golden spear completely nailed the red dragon to the top of the mountain!
The latter's body twitched twice.
Then there was no sound at all.
