Chapter 55: Savage (5600)
Su Sun stepped out of the enveloping range of the gradually extinguishing pillar of light. , he was unharmed, as if nothing in heaven and earth could hurt him, and he would not be contaminated with any mortal dust.
He had returned to the realm of heavenly immortals, that is, the realm of burning spirits in this world, and even surpassed those primordial spirits who were conceived by the Divine Tree.
Su Yan had been in the local world for nearly a year in the Ai'an World, and as an original Heavenly Immortal, it was not difficult to cultivate back to the Heavenly Immortal again within a year.
He already has the knowledge and skills, and his vision is also very high, so he can naturally easily analyze the foundation building practice method that is most suitable for this era, and then advance step by step, growing at a speed that is difficult for everyone to understand.
It's just a year to cultivate back to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, which is very reasonable.
It is better to say that based on the soul of the Heavenly Immortal, Su Sun has only now cultivated back to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, which is already slowing down his speed in order to recast his foundation and recreate the cultivation method.
Immediately after, Su Sun walked forward.
The entire Third Army began to retreat.
Then came a grand rout.
The Third Army was so embarrassed that hundreds of warships turned back in unison, and the soldiers completely lost the will to fight, even though the officers on the front repeatedly asked not to retreat, but for the soldiers of the Third Army, the fear of the strong in the distance outweighed their obedience to orders.
It was not a humiliating defeat, because even the leading generals did not feel that this battle could be won.
Akhalonov and his son originally thought that their task was only to drive the three parties to the talks away, and although they were ready to be attacked head-on, they did not expect the enemy to be so strong.
Jinni.
Exceeded expectations.
"Retreat, retreat en masse! Keep in shape! ”
The voice of the mountain giant with the bow was like thunder, and he also slowly retreated, and issued an order to the whole army: "Don't let the enemy detect the flaw, maintain the source energy shield!" ”
He provided legal support for the retreat of the army, which in turn injected a boost to the already somewhat flagging morale, and the Third Army reined in its rout and began to retreat steadily.
The Burning Spirit Realm is the name given to the high-level within the empire for an existence that has surpassed the limit of the calamity realm and is incredibly powerful.
Every time the northern barbarians can sweep the land and destroy civilization, it is because their Twilight Great Khan or Dusk Priest has achieved this realm, so even the strong people in the disaster realm can only retreat in the face of them, at most they can only save their lives, and only after their souls return to dusk, can they suppress the barbarians back to the north.
However, with the exception of a few people, no one knew why this realm was called Burning Spirit.
But Akhalonov knew.
The origin of this name comes from the fact that the gods burned themselves and sealed the dusk.
In the same way, it also originated from the actions of the strong man at the end of the era to burn himself and continue the times.
Rekindle the Holy Day and shine on the world. It is the representative of the burning spirit.
On the top of the Tower of Babel, the largest source energy furnace in the Aion world, has such power.
However, in the plans of Akhalonov and the Sun Emperor, among others, they will not rekindle the Holy Day.
"The Divine Tree is dead, and even if it is rekindled, the Holy Day will be extinguished in the future."
"Instead of being trapped in a single world, we should light the torch and shine in the void - we should not be trapped in our world on the verge of destruction, but should travel to other worlds to continue our race!"
This was the final conclusion reached by everyone after several deliberations.
The rekindling of the Holy Day is to spread the fire, and to burn the most elite and powerful in the whole world as firewood to continue the world, which is equivalent to consuming the foundation for survival and quenching thirst.
The holy days of this era will be extinguished in less than 10,000 years, and the next holy days will be 6,700 years long.
Instead of continuing to spread fire, it is better to leave the dead place with all the remaining forces in the world, and then go to other worlds to continue civilization.
The existence of civilizations and races has never been confined to their homeland.
Akhalonov believed that this was the only right choice—whether it was the Church of the Holy Day, the Order of the Light, or even the nobles who wanted to hide in the sea and become the ultimate creatures, all of them were just barely surviving and unable to regenerate civilization.
The remnants of the divine tree, the natural disaster called Dusk, can never be avoided if you hide in the Aion world.
They should leave.
However, even if the Burning Flame Flame was activated to shine in the void and break through the turbulence of time and space to observe other worlds, it would take generations and hundreds of years to build a huge starship ark to leave the world of Aion with a large number of people.
Who can guarantee the progress of the project? Who can guarantee the implementation of the policy?
Believe in morality, will become a human being? Believe that those who are short-sighted, let alone generations, will give up the future of future generations for the enjoyment of the present?
Akhalonov believed only in authority.
Asmodee XIII, for the sake of his full strength and rulership, will choose to advance this plan, the Burning Torch and the Civilization Migration Plan will make him the Holy Emperor of All Ages, and when he arrives in the new world, he will surpass the Emperor, the only and permanent ruler of the new civilization, an immortal existence, and a transcendent god.
Whether as a friend or a courtier, the general felt that the emperor would do it.
- In the past, the souls of the Soul Burners could rekindle the Holy Days and perpetuate civilization.
- And in the future, the soul of the Soul Burner will guide the direction of civilization and recast its glory.
Old general, believe in such a future...... So he will never allow this plan to fail.
Su Sun obviously wouldn't let the Third Army leave so easily, since the other party wanted to raid him, he would have to pay the price.
Raising his head slightly, his eyes locked on the location of most of the Third Army.
Then, the four dragons roared, and its tail swept across the plains of the wilderness, smoothing out a small hill and turning it into smoke and dust flying in the sky, which immediately made everyone realize that it was not an ordinary mental light phantom, but a real entity.
Or, a soul with a physical identity.
He had not yet done so, but if he did, everyone believed that the Third Army would suffer unacceptable losses even if it was not removed on the same day.
"Stop him!"
Therefore, Akhalonov did not hesitate, his heart light body directly raised the longbow, and with the huge earth elemental source energy being absorbed from the earth, the power of the leylines around the Ionian Mountains was suddenly drawn by a quarter - in the next moment, several rocks and dust turned into a rushing river of earth and rocks under the guidance of the source energy, converging towards the top of the longbow against gravity.
It looked like mountain peaks condensed at the tip of the longbow's arrows, condensing into swirling golden-red lava arrows.
Okolyov immediately followed, and the spear in his hand dissipated, turning into an earthy yellow mist around him, which then gathered and condensed, entwining and clinging to the body of the arrow.
Another mountain giant completely blessed his power on this super-dense material arrow, making it weigh more than 15 billion tons, approaching more than 20 billion tons.
A hundred-meter-long earth elemental arrow, if it is just an ordinary rock, is at most about 10,000 tons, and the mass of 20 billion tons has exceeded the density of white dwarf star matter, which is the result of Okolyov's mass blessing.
Rumble! An arrow is fired, and the arrow of this white dwarf star is indeed a change in color of the heavens and the earth, and a catastrophe of destruction has descended.
The distorted light in the sky, and the rock dust suspended in the sky due to gravitational fluctuations, the two were almost like two funnels formed with this arrow as the center, spinning and speeding towards Su Sun.
A single arrow weighing 20 billion tons, even if it does not contain any extraordinary power, can be smashed from the sky, destroying a small-scale ecosphere, creating a geological destruction layer about 100 kilometers in diameter, and destroying everything in the entire northwest wilderness.
Even if the Aion world is much larger than the earth, half of the continent will vibrate because of this blow, worthy of the power of the two catastrophe powerhouses joining forces.
"This is the level that an earth immortal should have."
And this is the reason why Su Yan did not immediately take action to suppress Akhalonov and his son.
He wants to see and see, there is a complete inheritance in this world, it is not the bloodline instinct of the demon, nor is it the strong person who became a disaster because of an accident, what kind of combat power does he have when he goes all out.
And it turns out that the disaster realm is indeed comparable to the earth immortal realm of the earth civilization, although they may not be as complete as the earth immortals in some aspects because of the different world environment and the lack of multi-era inheritance, but because of the source energy of forty times the density, even if the powerhouses of this world have no special skills, they can easily attract the power of heaven and earth to advance.
Demons who do not have a heritage do not need to choose any path, and they can rely on the special nature of the world to advance the 'Spirit Path'.
This is a comparison with the Divine Wood series that automatically advanced to the Spirit Dao after the mature body.
It is no wonder that a single disaster in Rozelia is enough to save his family among the major forces, even such an arrogant force in the empire only persuades him to take sides, not to exterminate him, because if Rozelia is angry and retaliates, the entire southern part of the empire will probably turn into a kingdom of Wanlize.
Facing the arrows of the white dwarf that were speeding towards him, according to Akhalonov, it was the 'arrow of the ember of the earth', and the four dragons behind Su Sun were surging wildly, and its four dragon heads were entangled together, like knots at the roots of a tree.
And the four elements fused, and in the end, it turned into a thick and sturdy barrel.
Familiar? Of course, it was familiar, because this was the 'Dragon Head Cannon' formed by Su Sun's imitation of the Auto-Eater's original fusion of the bodies of the eight aetheric dragons.
As we all know, the Aether Dragon is a dragon, and the seven big red dragons are also dragons, and they are replaced in the same position, and the natural effect is comparable.
Bang! In an instant, the heavens and the earth shook, and the aftermath of the elemental energy running in the body of the four dragons against the Annihilation Engine or even just the full operation caused the almost materialized source energy fluctuations to spread in all directions.
Then, the four-element annihilation cannon was launched, and a pale halo of light that was better than the sun rose on the earth, and at the same time wiped out all the elemental reactions within three hundred kilometers of Su Sun as the center - this place temporarily became a dead magic area, and the pure pillar of annihilation light shrouded the arrow of ember earth in the core of the earth, and in a silent and silent way, the arrow of the earth element that had been condensed to the extreme dissociated and peeled off little by little, and finally turned into nothingness.
The Pillar of Annihilation weakened a little after dissociating the Arrow of Ash, but even so, it flew diagonally towards the top of the sky for thousands of kilometers, and even reached the world barrier area above the sky, causing a series of curtain-like aurora to appear in the sky during the day.
It was the light of the world when the barrier was shaken and the light was shaken.
Although the old general was not directly hit, the elemental annihilation cannon stirred the balance of source energy in the surrounding world, and his heart light body began to disintegrate little by little, requiring him to use all his strength to stabilize.
His mind light body was half-kneeling on the ground, while the human body raised its head and stared at the aurora in the sky.
Then, he lowered his head and looked at the dragon in the distance, his face pale.
Not only did Akhalonov's father and son see that their full force was easily blocked by Su Sun in this way, and they were pale in the back, but even the Xiguang Association and the family present were dumbfounded.
The world of Aion is so huge, even if the powerhouse of the disaster realm destroys everything with all his might, it is only a part of the continent that affects the continent, not to mention that the more the powerhouse of the disaster realm uses the source energy with all their strength, the more easily they are eroded by the source energy and feel pain - this is the residual poison left by the Shenmu after being betrayed by the gods, but anyone born in this world cannot be spared from it.
That's why the Empire wants to leave this world, because even if they struggle to survive, they will only be able to endure thousands of years of pain.
However, the Burning Spirit goes beyond that.
Their power can affect the entire world—determining its continuation or destruction.
In the face of Professor Svetley, Su Sun's strength, no matter how much Akhalonov's father and son struggled, the outcome was doomed failure.
However, the leader of the Light Chasing Sect, Eboin, frowned: "That's not right. ”
He showed a puzzled expression and looked around: "Akhalonov, this guy is not known for being strong in battle, he is a general, and he is known for strategic dispatch and tactical command - what about Irowitz?" ”
"The first knight of the Empire, the emperor's long blade, and Akhalonov are inseparable, what about the undefeated Ilovitz?"
"Why isn't he there?"
This question is also a problem for the Holy Sun Pope, although he was surprised by Su Sun's strength, but it was even more strange about this.
After all, Su Sun was far stronger than them, and the two old men were still quite self-aware, but they couldn't tell whether Su Sun was at the peak of the disaster or beyond that boundary.
On the contrary, Ilovitz, as the guard of the former emperor and a close friend of Akhalonov, how could he not follow when the Third Army attacked the three disaster powerhouses?
He also felt that Irowitz was in the Third Army, so he didn't think about fighting, but retreated back to his headquarters as soon as possible.
If it were just Akhalonov's father and son, although it could be regarded as a strong enemy, it would not be such an urgent matter.
Su Sun didn't care about this, and it was the same for him to have two more disasters, even if the first knight of the empire was a burning spirit and a celestial immortal, it wasn't a big deal.
"You're defeated, it's time to surrender."
He said calmly, and the source energy reverberated with vibrations, causing the voices of the northwestern wilderness to resound, "Tell me what the emperor is going to do, and the details of your specific plan, so that I will judge you for your sins." ”
And Akhalonov, naturally, did not take such persuasion words seriously and simply ignored them.
At this time, he was actually thinking about the same problem.
This time, the Third Army's action was not actually notified to Iloviz, but a decision made by him and the Sun Emperor.
Because he knew very well that his friend would not be willing to fight Professor Svetley, who he thought was the 'right' man.
He knew better than anyone else his friend who adhered to the rules of chivalry.
[I don't want to fight those rebels, they are just oppressed and forced to resist...... Akhalonov, I don't want to hurt innocent people, we should clean up the nobles of the common people and transform the whole world! 】
[My friend, can you persuade Your Majesty...... Really, while all this is necessary, I really don't like what you're doing now, it's deviated from our original dream......]
"Naive Irowiz...... With the end of the world approaching, where will we have the time to transform society and wipe out all the nobles who can provide us with the resources to build the Burning Torch and the Ark of the Void? ”
He muttered to himself, and the somewhat loose Mountain Giant Mind Light Body stood up again.
Akhalonov sighed softly: "Someone has to make a choice and do evil things." My friend, if you don't want to do this, then I'll do it, the future of the world must always be decided by someone, existence is everything, this is the essence of civilization. ”
"If we don't, how can we maintain order and continue all this?"
"Wait."
But a voice sounded, interrupting the old general's self-muttering: "You call this civilization? ”
Su Sun's voice sounded in the distance, and the dragon was striding closer, making his voice also rapidly closer, with a hint of anger: "The essence of civilization, how can it be such an inferior thing!" ”
The smoke and dust gradually cleared, and the aurora in the sky began to faint.
In the glow of the sunset, when most of the holy sun had set, Su Sun came to the front of the Third Army with a bright source energy brilliance.
Ignoring the soldiers who were trembling and didn't even dare to retreat, Su Sun stood high on top of the giant dragon's head, looking down on the mountain giants and Akhalonov at the foot of the mountain giants.
"If necessary evil and sacrifice are regarded as the essence of civilization, then such civilization might as well be destroyed!"
He said in a cold voice, and even the big shield in his hand shone with blazing light, like the surface of the sun, proving Su Sun's anger.
But Akhalonov did not show the slightest fear, he raised his head, looked at Su Sun, who was almost like another sun, and then turned to his son, who was waiting on the side, and said: "Okolyov, you see, if everyone is like this Professor Svetley and always wants to destroy something, then where is the order, and who will maintain the survival of the world?" ”
"They seem to be well-founded, but in essence, they are no different from the barbarians of the northern tribe who are bent on destroying the world."
"Father!"
Okolyov on the side didn't react for a while, he couldn't figure out why his father wanted to stimulate the powerhouse of the Burning Spirit Realm at this time - it seemed that he didn't plan to kill them directly, but wanted to capture the entire Third Army.
This is not surprising, after all, the Third Army is not counting this group of elite soldiers, and it also has the highest standard of armament in the entire world, even if it is replaced by a group of ordinary trained crews, its combat effectiveness will not be weak.
Indeed, they will be captured, imprisoned, even if they are abolished...... But at least you can live a little longer.
Why do you have to be so blunt and sarcastic?
But Okolyov, the young general, didn't expect that after Su Sun heard this, his original anger dissipated a lot, and he turned to an expression that was almost pity.
"Savagery and destruction." He repeated what Akhalonov had said before, and then sneered: "Yes, indeed. It is indeed barbaric to destroy what is already there, especially the existing order, which will indeed bring great chaos, collapse the original society, and even lead to war, which will cause many people to be displaced and lose their lives. ”
"But what we are asking for is another kind of order, one in which fewer people will die in the future, and one in which people will live happier and more dignified, and in which civilization can be stronger—the order you speak of is nothing more than the hunger of the poor, the insult of the demons, the callousness of the non-aristocracy, and the chronic slaughter of exploitation, so that the present is far greater than the terrible future you speak."
"We destroy the old order because it is carrion, and cutting it off does bleed, but when it bleeds, people will survive, not die in bed."
At this point, Su Sun's tone even calmed down: "You are constantly causing bloodshed and death, oppressing citizens into rebels, you are destroying human dignity, intending to tame a group and destroy all their ideals and aspirations, just like the ancient barbarians tamed slaves. ”
"And just when I brought a new and more civilized order to replace you, so that this world will no longer shed blood, you say that what I have done is barbarism and destruction?"
"Eight thousand years, I have scattered the dark clouds, but you are blaming the thunder."
