Squeak!

The slightly harsh sound of the door opening fully illustrates the roughness of the door shaft and door frame, and the continuous echo afterwards tells the depth of the passage behind the door of Dean.

However, to Dean's surprise, the passage behind the door was no longer the rough road, but a smooth road paved with large blue bricks.

There are even torches on both sides of the wall.

It's just that it didn't ignite.

"This?"

Dean looked at everything in front of him suspiciously, and there was no doubt that what he saw was far from what he had imagined.

There is no such thing as a demon!

Or, to be more precise, not to mention a demon, he didn't even notice the slightest hint of malice.

Instead, a peaceful, stable aura came from the end of the passage in front of him.

Even...... There's a little bit of familiarity!

Dean subconsciously stepped forward.

And just a dozen seconds after Dean walked forward, there was a sound of footsteps-

The firelight illuminated the entire passage.

Several tall men and an old man appeared in front of Dean with torches.

And in Dean's slightly guarded expression, the old man and the young people bowed respectfully to the ground.

"Emissary!"

The old man called Dean like this, which made Dean very puzzled.

However, Dean can be sure that the other party does not have the slightest hostility, and at the same time, he also finds something familiar in the other party: Goddez's secret art!

The secret art of forging the body that originated from the Emerald Army.

But there are some differences, and there seems to be a more subtle change.

And it is precisely because of such subtle changes that the old man in front of him has the strength of almost a great knight.

This made Dean intrigued.

It's not easy to know that changing a secret art. Especially this change in the basic secret arts. It is absolutely necessary to have an extraordinary understanding of the occult arts.

Even Dean himself. I have read a lot of secret techniques, but I don't think I can do this.

"You call me a messenger?"

Everything in front of him made Dean's mind spin, and then he asked quietly.

"Yes, Your Majesty...... Oh, come with us, you'll understand! ”

The old man nodded. Then, as if he had thought of something, he immediately said and walked out.

Dean frowned slightly and followed.

As for Dean, he is not afraid that the other party will play tricks.

Even if the other party is almost the strength of a big knight, plus a few similar young people, it is the same.

In fact, even if it is a gold-level existence, it is not in Dean's eyes at this time.

Unless...... Thousands.

However, that is obviously not possible.

Step, step!

Inside the passage, there was no sound of conversation, only footsteps.

The old man walked quickly. He looked very excited.

Although several young people around him tried their best to make themselves look solemn, Dean could still tell that the other party was very excited based on the other party's heartbeat and pulse.

And the source of such excitement. It was because I saw him.

"Excited because of me?"

Dean squinted.

In the absence of more clues, such a thing is obviously incomprehensible.

Glancing at the men, Dean continued to follow.

Soon, there was a bright light ahead—not the light of a flame, but the light of the sun.

The old man walked out of the aisle, and Dean followed briskly.

The less noticeable change in light did not affect Dean's eyesight in any way.

So, he clearly saw the two statues.

Two statues, about twenty feet tall, stand side by side on the left and right in a small square of a town.

When he saw these two statues, Dean suddenly understood the meaning of the so-called 'messenger', and the familiarity he had had before.

Because, those two statues, one is the prototype of the Jade Grand Duke!

The other is...... He!

Even if the statue can't be lifelike, there are some features on the statue that Dean can affirm, especially the Zelgan family crest engraved on his own statue's clothing, which is too clear.

"Your Highness......"

Dean muttered softly.

And with this murmur, on the statue of the Jade Grand Duke in the distance, a light suddenly flickered, and a figure slowly condensed, watching Dean smile, and a gentle breath penetrated Dean's body.

"Your Majesty!"

The young people around the old man, and the people of the town were prostrate on the ground at the same time.

"Everybody get up first, Dean and I have something to say!"

The apparition of the Jade Grand Duke first explained to the people around him, and then disappeared again, and even Dean disappeared in place.

The whole process was fast, almost to the point where Dean couldn't react at all.

By the time Dean reacted, he was already in a familiar place: the study of the Emerald Grand Duke.

I'm back in Goddez?

Dean was stunned.

"This isn't my real study, it's just something I made from memory!"

The apparition of the Emerald Grand Duke seemed to see Dean's thoughts, and couldn't help but chuckle, and his long golden hair shone with such a smile, like tulips blooming in the sun.

Dean felt the familiar smile, and his whole person suddenly relaxed.

"Your Highness, have you become a 'god'?"

He asked with a deep breath.

Although such a direct question was a bit abrupt, the ability shown by the Jade Grand Duke at this moment made Dean have no other thoughts other than this guess.

After all, a similar doppelganger can create a space alone, and with the majestic aura under the crown in the mouth of the heavenly corpse, what else can there be besides the 'god'?

"Hmm!"

The phantom of the Jade Grand Duke nodded.

"That's great!"

Dean let out a long sigh.

In an instant, the deepest worry in his heart was finally let go.

He was born again. Isn't it just to make the jade fair?

Now the Emerald Grand Duke has become a deity. Is there anything else that can hurt the other person?

His wish was fulfilled!

That touch of obsession...... Gone!

Relaxation of body and mind. As if relieved of his long-standing burden, Dean sat straight on the ground with a smile on his face.

Not in disguise, but from the bottom of my heart.

Relaxed and cozy.

"Thank you, Dean! It is my greatest luck to have your help after being reborn! ”

The phantom of the Emerald Grand Duke stretched out his hand, placed it on Dean's shoulder, and said seriously.

"You got it?"

Dean was stunned.

Then he smiled with relief. Since the Jade Grand Duke has become a god, some things naturally cannot be hidden.

"Well, I know by coincidence - after entering here, I killed each other in the battle with that demon, and suddenly ignited the divine fire, allowing me to see something!"

The apparition of the Jade Grand Duke explained.

"Igniting a divine fire? Slay the demons? ”

Dean was intrigued by the newly-heard term.

However, the next moment, the phantom of the Jade Grand Duke opened his mouth, but no sound appeared. Then, the phantom of the Jade Grand Duke raised his hand and wrote something in the air.

But. It was obscured by an apparition that Dean couldn't see.

"Is this a restriction of the rules?"

Suddenly, Dean reacted.

In an ancient book, Dean had read a legend about the 'gods'.

Words cannot be listened to by mortals! ’

'Divine Texts Are Not Recognized by Mortals'

There may be some fallacies, but they are not entirely wrong.

"Igniting the Divine Fire has everything about 'God', which is restricted here, and even my own body has to leave here, leaving only a phantom waiting for you to come!"

The phantom of the Jade Grand Duke was a little helpless.

"You foresaw the future?"

Dean subconsciously thought of the words 'let me see something' in the mouth of the Jade Grand Duke's phantom before.

"It's not my divine power, it's because I killed that demon that I occasionally triggered the other party's ability - a part of space and a little time!"

The apparition of the Jade Grand Duke explained.

"Demons?"

Dean was slightly disappointed.

Dean still has a lot of ideas about being able to grasp the future.

At the very least, he knew the importance of the prophet.

"So, the towns where those civilians were located before are also remnants of that power?"

Dean then asked.

"That's right, it's not just the town, it's time - it's been fifty years here, and it's only been a few days outside!"

The words of the Phantom of the Jade Grand Duke surprised Dean.

"Fifty years?"

"Well, fifty years! Otherwise, it would be impossible to build a town here, and erect statues of you and me! ”

"Time...... Did you notice something wrong with Godez? ”

Dean asked, looking up sharply.

"I found out, borrowing the power of that demon, I found some clues - but I can't go and track it down at all, I have to leave here as a god, and I can only leave a clone, so I'm here waiting for you to complete some of the things that must be done next, including Rirol in front of me!"

"Beast tide?"

Dean guessed.

"Yes, the Beast Tide - as far as I can see, this Beast Tide will completely destroy Ryrol, the nobles will be killed and wounded, more than half of the civilians will die, and the remnants will live in hell, so I want to stop it from happening!"

The doppelganger of the Jade Grand Duke had a solemn face.

"What should I do?"

Dean looked at the doppelganger of the Emerald Archduke.

The other party's appearance at the moment completely overlapped with the Jade Grand Duke.

Even, in a sense, the two are completely one person.

So, it's not surprising to do such a thing.

"Can Dean give me your hand?"

The doppelganger of the Jade Grand Duke asked.

"Of course!"

Dean passed his hand straight over.

For the Emerald Grand Duke, Dean is completely trusted.

And it turns out that such trust will not be disappointed.

As if watching a movie, Dean swept away the beast tide of Ryrol as a 'savior'.

The power to change and destroy everything with a gesture made Dean ponder.

Is this the power of God?

Dean sighed in his heart, and looked at the doppelganger of the Jade Grand Duke whose figure was somewhat floating.

"Your Highness, it doesn't matter to you, right?"

Dean asked instinctively.
