"Does Israel want to abdicate?"

Hearing this news, Joshua was shocked for the first time, but he didn't feel that strange.

Come to think of it, what's so surprising about that?

I'm afraid only a fool can't see that Israel, the emperor of the empire, has long wanted to leave the stall and quit!

As we all know, Israel Delmond was not the original heir to the Empire, but was forced to raise his gun after all his brothers were killed as the crown prince...... But no one expected that this seemingly ordinary prince had such an outstanding talent in combat, not only growing rapidly on the battlefield, but finally slaying the orc Khan on the battlefield and ascending to the throne with legendary might.

Although he is powerful, he is not a good emperor at all, compared to leading an empire, Israel prefers to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, other things such as political struggles, intrigues, intrigues and intrigues, Israel is not willing, but compared to these, he prefers to use simple and direct means to achieve, for example, the Skynet system monitoring is such a simple and direct system that can monitor all crimes and disobedience, he likes it very much, because it is very convenient.

Such a person said that he did not want to be an emperor...... Can that be called news?

"There's nothing strange about that, Nostradamus." Thinking of this, Joshua actually stretched out his hand, patted the old mage's shoulder, and kindly comforted the other party and said, "I dare to say that when he made the Skynet system a few years ago, he was already thinking about finding an heir at random and concentrating on doing it himself...... Rest assured, with us, the empire will not be chaotic. ”

"Nonsense, of course the empire will not mess up." Nostradamus slapped Joshua's hand away angrily: "Israel is not dead, and there are three legends in the empire, no matter how chaotic the situation is, it will not be our turn to mess up." ”

Speaking of this, his expression suddenly became serious: "Joshua, you obviously know what I'm worried about!" ”

Hearing this, Joshua fell silent, and Number 3, who was sitting on his shoulder, also opened his eyes slightly, and the girl's forehead revealed the divine runes of the god of the sky.

Of course, the warrior knew what Nostradamus was worried about right now.

In the previous life, in the Continent of Strife, it was almost 840 and 841 years when the Emperor of the Northern Empire, Israel, died in the imperial capital because of a curse, and this news was collectively concealed by the imperial family, to be precise, by the princes of the empire and the emperor's harem...... It is rumored that Israel left a will at that time, and he determined who would inherit the throne, but until the warriors crossed, no one knew what was written in the emperor's will.

In the years that followed, in order to compete for the throne, the heirs of the royal family broke out into a large-scale civil war, which caused the Northern Empire to suffer from misery and misery, and a large number of advanced magical technologies were not used on the enemies of mankind, but on their compatriots.

Although the power that Israel gained after advancing to the legend can rewrite reality, and even achieve it to a certain extent, he can't deceive himself - the dark wound he has received is the most vicious method that the orc high priest can use at that time, with totem curses and erosion runes, which are poisonous enough to curse and kill a dragon king without defense, and a certain metal dragon king died on this curse.

Israel could not deceive himself into ignoring the dark wounds caused by the curse, even if it was a legend, so his body deteriorated day by day, and finally died silently.

Of course, the current Israel, because Joshua gave the other party a divine crystal very early on, helping him to understand the mysteries of divinity...... This was indeed a very useful tool, and with Israel's legendary high rank, the world's top qualifications, he naturally quickly learned something from the divine crystal left by the god of luck and despair, and stopped the deterioration of his injuries.

Some time ago, Israel directly punished the criminals across the country through the Skynet system, coerced all the nobles who were ready to act and behaved badly, and created a peaceful and prosperous world that did not have much turmoil even under the disturbance of the evil god of death.

Because he had obtained his own divinity, Israel thought that he could do more than before, and he thought that the original poison could no longer kill him, so the dark wound that had entangled Israel for more than ten years easily dissipated.

In the same way, because he has obtained divinity, comprehended divinity, and obtained a divinity that is completely his own, Israel naturally thinks that he can become a 'new god'.

His power, for the same reason, will move Israel to this step.

"So, is he planning to ascend to God?"

Without any tact, Joshua sighed, he waved his hand to let Heigo continue to play, and returned to the interior of the Lord's Mansion with Nostradamus: "Some time ago, the god of power and justice often talked to him, and the gods also believed that Israel was a god awakened and could become his heir. ”

"And I also know that the concept of the god of justice and power is very consistent with the concept of Israel, if His Majesty really handed over the inheritance to Israel before his own god was destroyed, then he does have the qualifications to become a new generation of gods of justice and power."

"Yes, if God wants to choose an heir, he must choose beings whose doctrine and philosophy are similar, or even identical, to himself."

Seeing that Joshua also understood the current situation very well, Nostradamus couldn't help but let out a breath, his expression was a little tired—the old mage had always been tired—and he said slowly: "So I understand why Israel would accept His Majesty's inheritance and want to become a god, but the current situation is not just about these simple questions...... There is also the question of the competence of the clergy. ”

Speaking of this, Nostradamus's face couldn't help but sink.

The main object of the Northern Empire's belief is the punishment of the god of power. Naturally, true gods do not need faith to exist, faith only makes it easier for them to fight against the erosion of divinity, and the priesthood also does not need gods to obtain divine magic, as long as they have good intentions and have their own set of logic of order, the holy light will respond to the priesthood and drop power.

But even so, because of the exchange of information, believers in criminal justice will have a set of special divine techniques related to the divinity of criminal justice, which distinguishes them from believers of other gods...... And not long ago, before Xingzheng broke out with all his strength and the gods were destroyed in the extremely dark abyss, at the moment when Xingzheng slashed the River Styx, all the believers of Xingzheng began to gradually lose that set of special divine techniques related to Xingzheng.

"Most of the priests of the empire have begun to lose the power of the 'Divine Technique of Might', although they are still priests, they are much weaker than before."

Sitting on the sofa in the guest room, Nostradamus said with a sad face: "The Northern Empire is a gathering place for believers in the god of power, and without the god of power, their strength has declined rapidly, and some of them can't even defeat the monsters that they could easily defeat before-this side has caused a lot of chaos in many areas. ”

"In order for all the clergy who have lost the favor of miracles to regain the magic of power, Israel wants to ascend to the gods as soon as possible and become the new god of power and justice."

Having said that, Joshua finally understood why the old mage was sad.

Not being an emperor - not a problem, anyway, as long as the three legendary powerhouses do not die, then the empire will not fall into chaos.

Trying to become a god is also not a problem, and for Israel, becoming a god may be the best direction for him to improve.

Nostradamus was not against either of these things, but on the contrary, he was happy to see them happen.

The problem is that Israel wants to ascend to the gods in the near future, and the entire empire is not ready to do so.

"Although there have always been legends about ascending to the gods, and it seems that there is indeed a set of effective rituals, until today, no one has really ascended to the throne through various magic circles and magic...... Want to become a god? How could it be that simple! ”

Speaking of this, Nostradamus was simply bitter: "He wants to ascend to the god in such a hurry, if he fails, not to mention his own death, His Majesty's inheritance will also be lost, not to mention the turmoil that may be caused - although there are two of us, it is impossible for the empire to fall into real chaos, but instead of risking his luck, why not delay the time of ascending to the god a little bit to increase the success rate?" If he dies, no matter how small the turmoil is, technological innovation and otherworldly exploration will definitely have to wait until the new emperor ascends the throne to restart again. ”

In this way, the reform momentum of the Northern Empire, which was originally in the lead, may fall behind the other forces.

Joshua understood that this was the philosophical difference between Israel and Nostradamus. The former wants to ascend to the gods as soon as possible, and at the same time become stronger, it can also ensure that the believers of the powerful gods can regain special exclusive divine arts, while the latter want to be more stable, and they are more concerned about the long-term order in the future than the current little turmoil.

Joshua can't say who to support, Israel believes in his strength and will, one step faster now, one step faster, and Nostradamus wants to ensure the stable development of the empire as much as possible, and does not want any accidents to happen...... None of this is a mistake.

"Well...... I'll send a message to persuade Israel to slow down. Moreover, the loss of the clergy's unique divine art is actually not a pure bad thing, and the decline in strength in a short period of time can also give them a deeper understanding of the true meaning of the Holy Light. ”

After thinking about it, Joshua finally decided to favor Nostradamus, he said: "It's really not good, he still decided to go to the gods in the near future, and I will help him on the side to reduce the risk as much as possible." ”

Nostradamus supported Nostradamus not because Joshua was unwilling to take risks, but because he believed that now was not a good time to ascend to God.

In order to suppress the abyssal mutation and defeat the evil god of death, whether it is Joshua or the remaining six gods, they have all suffered a lot of damage now, they are all recuperating, this is not their heyday, at this stage, he and the gods who have no way to act at will cannot guarantee the safety of the god Israelden.

However, if Israel had to ascend to the gods immediately, then Joshua could also watch the birth of a true god up close, from the perspective of a guard.

Perhaps, he will be able to find a trace of skill in the ritual of the god Israelden that can suppress his divinity, or gain some inspiration...... That's not a bad thing.

Hearing that Joshua had agreed to this, Nostradamus touched his beard and breathed a sigh of relief.

He and Israel have been mentors and apprentices for many years, and they have always helped each other, but this time, what Israel wants to do is not something he can do alone-although now, the relationship between the legendary powerhouses in the world is much better than before, but in such a matter as ascending to the gods, Nostradamus is still unwilling to fake the hands of others.

If he could, he still hoped that as an imperial nobleman, Joshua, who belonged to the same camp, could help Israel, but the old mage also knew that Joshua was not in a good state now, so he specially came over to see the situation of the warrior in person, and asked the other party's attitude by the way.

Things weren't complicated, and after deciding on his next move, Nostradamus was ready to say goodbye to Joshua, and the two sides chatted about the game 'Continent of Discord', which has been hot recently.

Nostradamus is also a member of the closed beta players, and he is still a master of the fourth civilization stage, but even the old mage, who is a legendary powerhouse, has not yet reached the fifth stage.

"How do you defeat the three Atlas Chaos Legions?" Before leaving, the old mage felt very puzzled: "Just one Otherworldly Legion is equivalent to an opponent that a world civilization can defeat with all its might, two can only be barely suppressed even if they rely on tactics, and the siege of three legions is not something that a civilization can resist at all." ”

"The answer is simple, there are many ways to solve it."

For Nostradamus, an old friend, Joshua naturally would not hide it, he shrugged his shoulders, and said while making No. 3 tremble: "The simplest one is to cultivate a legendary-level figure with super potential, and with his strength, it is not difficult to defeat the three legions in turn. ”

"Secondly, you should also be able to see that the three Chaos Legions are not in the same camp at all, and they will also have a civil war themselves, as long as you retreat a little, shrink in the strategic rear, and give up the position for them to fight each other, you can take advantage of the Chaos Legion civil war, raid their portals, and end this war."

"And one of the more orthodox ways I designed to clear the level is to attack quickly - give up defense and take the initiative to attack - behind each otherworldly legion there is a world that has become empty, but there are still a lot of resources left, as long as you can quickly solve the first otherworldly army at the beginning, you can quickly rely on the resources of one world to recover and defeat the three legions in turn."

As for the fifth stage, what exactly it is and how it should be played, Joshua did not reveal a word, and Nostradamus left Joshua with a big news before leaving with regret.

"The Metal Dragon God, the Dragon of Ten Thousand Steels, wants to see you."

By the time he said this, Nostradamus had already opened the space-time portal. He patted his head and said with some annoyance: "Damn, the power of this majesty will affect people's cognition, even if I am a legendary powerhouse, I have almost forgotten about it...... All in all, the metal dragon god is in the Vanguard Fortress right now, and he's been communicating with the Great Khan of the Star Shepherd lately, and seems to have gotten some strange news. ”

"He wants to see you, Joshua, I suggest you find a chance to go, unlike the five-colored dragons, the metal dragons have always been the representatives of order and gentleness."

Saying this, Nostradamus, who had stepped into the space-time passage, couldn't help but show a rather strange expression, and he said with some puzzlement: "It's strange to say, he only wants to see you—to see you, the sage inheritor who killed the evil god. ”

"See you, the 'King of Soul Burning'."
