77. Collaborators
Christina stood in front of Sean, smiling, but the sparkle in her eyes began to fade.
Sean sighed softly, then pulled the Black King out.
No blood splattered, only gray sand like starlight came out of the Black King's sword, and all the blood in Christina's body had completely evaporated, leaving behind only some waste products similar to "ashes" and "wreckage".
The price required to break through the limits of the bloodline is extremely heavy, far from being affordable for ordinary people - of course, ordinary people cannot afford this price, because this kind of secret art needs to burn the "power of the bloodline" from the depths of the bloodline. This is a kind of existence similar to consumables, once it burns and consumes too much, not to mention the inevitable bloodline power disappears, and it may even die on the spot.
What's more, Christina also has to resist the punishment of power for violating the soul contract.
So, from the moment she really decided to do it, she was already a dead person.
Countless cracks appeared on Christina's body, like cracks in exquisite ceramics, breaking and falling little by little. When the cracks spread all over Christina's body, she shattered like a stone that had been weathered for thousands of years, and then turned into a pile of gray sand, followed by a purple-red flame burning on the gravel.
Christina is dead.
If the average devout believer dies, then it is possible that their souls will be taken to the kingdom of God and become heroic spirits and continue to live in the kingdom of God. With a bit of luck, these Heroic Spirits can also retain their memories and even be summoned to the physical realm.
But Christina is different, not to mention that she has no faith, and after death the soul will only become the nourishment of death. The price that needs to be paid to break through the limit of the bloodline alone, including the soul.
So not only the body, but even the soul has completely disappeared.
There is no longer such a person as Christina in this world - her name may become a legend, but more often than not, it will become a name in some novels, biographies, stories.
Sean stared at the pile in front of him, which had gradually solidified and shrunk into a crystal like a black gem under the burning of the soul fire. Clam up.
He has tried to think about many situations, and he has prepared many ways to prepare and deal with these unexpected situations, even at the expense of giving up some of his benefits. But the only thing he didn't expect was that Christina would stick to her ideals and beliefs to such an extent, which was not in Sean's script at all.
"Dad?" The Black King's voice sounded softly.
"I'm fine." Sean's voice was a little muffled.
He and Christina share very similar personalities and dreams: the same determination, the same desire to embrace a better tomorrow. But they have completely different philosophies from each other, and it is precisely because of this diametrically opposed philosophy that the two people who are likely to become friends eventually lead to them. In the end, they can only go the opposite way and become enemies who stand on opposite sides of each other.
Sean admires Christina.
However, it is impossible for him to stop for the sake of Christina, or even give up his own philosophy, which is completely impossible.
Because of the sudden and tragic confrontation between the two, the silence on the battlefield finally gradually recovered at this moment.
Rena and Elsie teamed up to stop the four legendary powerhouses who intended to attack Sean, and one of them was directly hit by Rena and cut off a right hand. It's basically no different from a wasted person. If you count the legendary powerhouse who died in battle and Christina, it can be said that the Peace Council is even up to now. The losses have been very heavy.
The few remaining legendary powerhouses glanced at each other, and they all understood one thing from each other's eyes: if they continued to stay here and fight, there was no hope of victory. Even the strongest Christina was killed, even if Sean was exhausted at the moment, but as long as Rena and Elsie were there, they would never be able to break through the blockade. And if it continues to delay, once the battlefield of the super strong in the sky is over, all of them really have no hope of escaping.
"Don't you think it's too late to leave now?" Sean stood on the high ground and looked coldly at the golden-robed executives who seemed to be in a dilemma at the moment. "I can give you a multiple-choice question."
"Do you want us to surrender?" A gold-robed executive spoke.
"Sign the soul pact and be loyal to me." Sean did not deny it, but calmly looked directly at the three legendary powerhouses present, as for the one who had a broken hand, it was no different from a wasted person, and it was not within Sean's consideration, "You should be glad that if it weren't for Christina's death, I wouldn't have considered keeping you." ”
"Even if we are willing to surrender, you dare to leave us behind?" Another gold-robed executive laughed, as if mocking Sean's ignorance and arrogance, "Let the Peace Council know today's results, and you will definitely not end well." ”
"Peace Council?" Sean looked coldly at the golden-robed executive who spoke, "If it can survive tonight, then it is qualified to discuss revenge." If we can't even make it through tonight, there will be no peace council. ”
The faces of several golden-robed executives changed suddenly, and in addition to horror, their eyes were more incredulous.
"Tell me your choice, to be loyal to me, or to die in battle for the sake of the imminent destruction of the Peace Council."
Sean stuck the Black King on the ground and stood with his sword, his face was solemn and calm, but the fire of will burning in his eyes also made these legendary powerhouses dare not look directly at him. The kind of constant progress for their own ideas, they have only seen in one person, but unfortunately, this person has died at the hands of Sean today.
"Time of allegiance." The third golden-robed executive spoke.
"Until I die."
"It can't be." Immediately, two legendary powerhouses objected.
On the Miracle Continent, as long as they step into the legendary realm, no matter how they step in, their status is extremely lofty, even if they go to a hostile country, they will be honored as "Your Highness". Therefore, all major countries are very courteous to the legendary powerhouse. Even if you want to make them work, you will be offered very lenient treatment and conditions, and there are no restrictions.
Not to mention, the legendary powerhouses of the Peace Council, who have never been constrained in any way, all of them working together for the sake of an idea. Sean dared to open his mouth at this moment to let these people serve, also because of the civil strife just now in the Peace Council. If it was the pure, domineering and powerful Peace Council tens of thousands of years ago, Sean would never have opened this mouth.
Of course, if it was the peace council back then, these golden-robed executives would not have thought of running away.
"I'm not bargaining with you, I'm articulating a choice." Sean ignored the two men, "Take it or die." Other than that, you don't have a third choice. ”
As if to reinforce the authenticity of Sean's words, a figure fell directly from the sky. A huge hole was smashed between Sean and several gold-robed executives. When the huge smoke and dust rose up, like a sandstorm covering the sky and the sun, it was a sharp strong wind that swept down, and it was really like a holy sword tearing the heavens and the earth, shooting directly into the sky, completely stirring up this smoke and dust.
The eyes of everyone present involuntarily fell into the huge pit.
Unlike Rena, Elsie, and Sean's calmness, the side from the Peace Council was full of shock.
for he is lying in the pit at this moment. It's none other than the Sword Saint of the Sky, who was previously regarded as the strongest symbol by the Peace Council. Nebula!
But at this time, the nebula was extremely embarrassed. Not only did his peace messenger's robe look like a tattered piece of cloth, but even the leather armor he wore inside was full of various nicks and mutilations. But the most striking thing is the scars on his body, which are so dense that they are almost innumerable, and in just a short time, the blood glowing with golden light has flowed out of these scars. It then converges at the bottom of the pit into a small pool of blood.
A black sword-bladed spear passed through Nebula's chest cavity and nailed him to the pit completely, and you can clearly know it by looking at the part of the blade spear penetrating. One of the Nebula's hearts must have been shattered. Alexis, on the other hand, stepped on the bottom of the blade of the spear, just condescendingly looking down at the nebula.
Although the clothes on her body were full of traces of fierce battles, there was no embarrassment in the slightest, and compared to Nebula, the difference between the two sides could be clearly judged - not half a star.
"Ahem......" Nebula let out a cough, but it spat out a large amount of blood foam, among which there were golden particles visible to the naked eye - this was the golden blood of the super strong, and it was obvious that Nebula was extremely seriously injured.
"One of your hearts has been hit hard, one heart has been shattered by me, and even the golden source blood created by the power of the bloodline has begun to melt, do you still want to continue fighting?" Alexis stood on the blade of the spear and said with a nonchalant expression, "What a disappointment for me. …… You should have been able to hold on longer, but you're distracted by something inconsequential, and you're too distracted by me. ”
Nebula glanced around, as if he wanted to say something, but before the words could come out, he could only keep coughing, and every time he coughed, a large number of golden particles flowed out of the blood he coughed up, and as more and more golden source blood was lost from his body, Nebula also quickly weakened at a speed that he could perceive.
"Twilight Child, aren't you afraid of Lord Dakyi's return?" After a long time, Nebula was finally able to speak, but the first person he blamed was not Sean who started the war, but Elsie.
Elsie's brow furrowed slightly, clearly troubled by the name "Dakyi".
God Butcher. Dakyi, who became famous in the Age of Ashes, disappeared in the period of dimensional exploration and exploration, and although the gods who died at his hands were not as exaggerated as Alexis, there were at least three or four of them, and among them there was a god of high divine power.
If you say that according to the order of the twilight, ashes, chaos and other eras, the strongest people who are active in those eras are listed, then Dakyi will definitely be the top three existences, even if he is not the NO.1 in the ashes era.
Above all, of course, he was one of the elders of the Peace Council.
"Twilight child, you still have a choice, otherwise once Lord Dakyi returns...... seems to see a sign that Elsie is a little shaken, Nebula endures the severe pain in his body, and continues to "persuade", "Even if it is the Twilight goddess, I'm afraid it won't end well." Don't forget. Lord Dakyi is a God Slayer! ”
The originally gloomy eyes of several golden-robed executives of the legendary realm gradually appeared bright.
It may be true that the current Peace Assembly is in a weak state after a civil strife caused by a divisive, but the true foundation of their Peace Assembly is far more than it is now. They still have a lot of real powerhouses who are traveling outside the Void, and once they return, let alone a Void Duchy. Even the Seven Great Empires would never dare to contend with each other.
The originally low morale suddenly became high at this moment.
They just lost a battle, but they haven't lost the battle yet!
"Dakyi?" Alexis felt the change in vibes and suddenly spoke, "The one with black hair, one eye blue, and one eye red? Holding a three-meter-long golden chopping blade? The man who always shouts 'oh yo yo'? ”
"Not bad! That's Lord Dakyi, our ......."
"Oh, he's dead. You don't have to expect him to come back and save you. Before Nebula could finish speaking, Alexis had already interrupted him.
"This can't be, you're talking nonsense!" Nebula let out an angry roar, "Lord Dakyi will never die, his powerful ......"
"It's his, isn't it?" Alexis casually took out a golden chopping blade about one meter long from nowhere, but the body of this chopping blade was broken by more than half, thinking of what Alexis said just now, the true length and origin of this chopping blade are obvious. "I think he's got a good knife, and I'd like to borrow some materials to mend my weapon. Who knew that he was so stingy and refused, so I had to take it myself. I was young at the time, and I didn't stop for a while, so I killed him. ”
“……”
The audience was silent.
Nebula even spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then passed out completely.
"Dad, I think this woman is so scary." The Black King said softly. But he completely ignored that no matter how soft his voice was, it couldn't be so light, not to mention that none of the people present had outstanding ears?
Alexis's eyes naturally swept to the Black King's side, and a look of interest suddenly appeared on his face: "This is your bloodline artifact?" …… Well, it looks pretty good. ”
"Thanks for the compliment. You look amazing, too. The Black King immediately struck the snake with the stick.
"Haha, interesting, I like this weapon." Alexis Lang laughed a few times.
At this time, Sean really wanted to say that if you liked it, he would give it to you, but he knew that the Black King was just a slightly sharper weapon in the hands of others besides himself, and had no other special value. And he himself is the same: only by relying on the Black King can he exert greater strength, and now he can't fight at all if he uses ordinary weapons - no weapon can withstand Sean's power infusion.
With Nebula battered by Alexis, it seems that the curtain has come down on the other two super-strong battles in the sky.
Kokire landed from the sky with the exaggerated greatsword, the sword was stained with golden blood, and it was obvious that the fate of the bewitching woman was definitely not much better: with Kokire's gluttony, it was impossible for his opponent to become his prey to survive, and I am afraid that even his soul had been devoured at this moment.
Tungsten Ramo, on the other hand, is much more elegant than Kokire.
He didn't just land in the air, he opened a portal and stepped out of it. He didn't say anything, just nodded slightly at Sean, which meant that his opponent was also unlikely to survive, because Sean had already confessed before, and directly wiped out all these people, and never gave the Peace Council any chance to turn over.
"What about this guy?" Alexis gestured to the man at his feet.
"Killed." Sean didn't show any mercy, "Unless the super strong are willing to surrender, there is no external force that can restrict their actions." ”
Hearing Sean's words, the pupils of those legendary powerhouses shrank suddenly, and their faces changed slightly.
Sean's words have revealed a lot of meaning: he can't take the super strong, so he can only kill. However, for these legendary powerhouses, there is a way to limit their ability to act, which means that Sean's soul contract power is very strong; Of course, it also shows that once you sign a soul contract with Sean, then only the super strong have the strength to regret it.
For Sean's orders. Alexis shrugged noncommittally.
But before Alexis could make a move, Kokirei had already run up with a anxious face, and then pointed at himself: "Me! ”
"Yes, he's yours." Sean knew what Okiere meant, it was nothing more than that he hadn't eaten enough, so he wanted Nebula. Of course, Sean will not refuse this, and Alexis is equally indifferent.
So, in front of those legendary powerhouses, Kokilei truly showed his unknown and terrifying side: Nebula's life force was sucked up by Kokilei in an instant, and he became a worthless corpse of an ordinary person.
The next thing is much simpler.
The three semi-legendary powerhouses, including the legendary powerhouse with a broken hand, had no choice but to accept Sean's harsh conditions and become his subordinates. Serve him until Sean's death.
"Thank you Christina, if it weren't for her, you wouldn't be alive. So, be grateful, and you will take her place in her eyes and witness the beauty I bring to this world. ”
With the end of the high-level battlefield, the remaining low-level battlefield is naturally effortless. The fate of those Sanctuary powerhouses. Obviously, it's not as good as these legendary powerhouses, after all, the magic boy and Wendy are very strong together. But their opponents are also not simple, so there is simply no chance of any remaining hands in this fight.
By the time Alexis and the others intervened in the battlefield situation, only one of those Sanctuary powerhouses was still alive, and Wendy and the Demon Boy had also suffered a lot of injuries, and they probably needed to recuperate for a while. For these two, of course. The experience they had gained from this battle was also extremely valuable, and if they could absorb it thoroughly, the Breakthrough Legend would be just around the corner.
Although there are some deviations in the script, at least the overall progress is still according to Sean's intentions.
Sean picks up the dark crystal from the ground where Christina died: this is the last proof that Christina was once alive in this world. But except for Sean, except for the people who are still alive on the battlefield at this moment. I'm afraid that no one knows the value and origin of this black crystal at all, so after Sean hesitated for a moment, he made a decision: "This black crystal is called Christina's heart." ”
"You're such a nostalgic person." William laughed at Sean, "If I die one day, it's not going to get me some William. Portrait of Yale or William. Yale Eye or something. ”
"I'll build you an Imperial Military Academy, and I'll call it William. Yale Military Academy. Sean glanced back at William, then spoke, "This will be the most iconic building in the Void Empire. ”
"Neil will definitely be clamoring for you to build him a statue of Neil." William touched his chin, then suddenly laughed, "Hela's words...... I can't really imagine how she's going to react. ”
"She already has the Garcia family." Sean said softly.
"Yes." William nodded, "One of the most powerful families in the Future Void Empire. …… Not to mention this, although there were some unexpected deviations in the script, but on the whole it did not affect our plan, that is, on the side of the Ryan Kingdom, how are you going to deal with it? ”
"Don't bother." Sean shook his head, "Arlan's previous actions have already broken the hearts of many people, and Florence must already be dissatisfied. And I was once under the care of the wise king, no matter who his successor was, as long as it wasn't against us. ”
"Okay." William nodded and didn't say anything more, "Then we can go on a full-scale attack next." Are you sure you'll retire after you've dealt with the Wyles? Those tribal leaders will be dissatisfied, right? ”
"After all, this is the condition that Diana negotiated with that side, and besides, it is useless for us to occupy the territory of the fascist kingdom, the distance is too far, and in the event of other unexpected situations, we will not be able to support at the first time, so it is better to give up." Sean shook his head, "Our goal is simple, revenge and plunder, nothing else is in our plans, as for those tribal leaders, they will soon understand that they no longer have any command." ”
……
At the end of the battlefield on this side of the manor, the battlefield on the other side also happened to be coming to an end.
The five presiding arbitrators, along with the executive officers responsible for protecting them, fell to the ground. Most of them have died of exhaustion, and the few who are still alive are not far from death. On the contrary, the two members of the envoys of the fascist kingdom had disappeared at the moment, apparently taking advantage of the chaos of the battle just now to escape.
A small squad of soldiers was cleaning up the battlefield, and they would make up for a few knives, regardless of whether the enemy was already dead or not. Make sure these people die so that they can't die anymore. And around this squad of soldiers, there are also a few people with strong breaths who are healing, and the battle that broke out with these executive officers just now is not without price for these people.
After seeing that all the corpses on the battlefield had been mended, a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes turned around and quickly ran towards another high slope. There were several people standing on the hillside, and except for one young man, who had a slightly more aggressive aura, the other man and woman were just ordinary people.
"Your Majesty, all the members of the Peace Council have been killed. In accordance with your request, the two members of the envoys of the fascist kingdom were deliberately spared. ”
This middle-aged man with blond hair who was extremely powerful and was almost not under the nebula was kneeling down to the middle-aged man standing on the hillside with a weak breath. Not to mention that he is a super strong man, even a legendary strong man will never bow to anyone, but at this moment, this super strong man not only kneels and bows, but the other two people next to him also look strange.
"Got it, you stand down." The middle-aged man whispered.
"Yes." The middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes bowed respectfully again. Then get up and stand back.
"Following Grand Duke Sean's plan, I have completed my agreement part. There are no surprises on your side, right? The middle-aged man turned his head and spoke to the young woman.
Under the light of the moon, the middle-aged man's face was completely exposed.
He is the supreme military commander of the Cinnas Empire and the military god of the Miracle Continent. Wayne!
And the woman standing next to Jason is one of the four giants of the Void Principality today. Diana, who is in charge of diplomacy. Simon.
"On the battlefield that Lord Sean is personally responsible for, there will never be any accidents, please rest assured." Diana's face was as usual, and she didn't look nervous because there was a super strong man standing next to her and the most famous military god in the entire Miracle Continent, "According to the script." Now that the power of the Peace Council in the Fascist Kingdom has been completely wiped out, it's up to you, Lord Killer. ”
Killing the stele, the head of the six death steles, the super powerhouse of the seventeenth-order critical point.
He let out a disdainful snort: "As long as there is no error in the information provided by Grand Duke Sean, the Peace Council will be mortally damaged tonight, and if everything goes well, there will be no Peace Council after tonight." Even if we can't completely eliminate the Peace Council, at least we can guarantee that the Peace Council will not have the strength to emerge in the next thousand years. ”
"That's the best." Diana smiled and said, "Master Sean said that we all have common enemies with each other, so joining forces is the best way to deal with it, which is mutually beneficial. ”
"The fall of the dead nest, this account is not over." Kill the monument said coldly.
"Of course, Lord Sean has said that after this matter is resolved, you can seek justice as much as you want." Diana deliberately accented the word "justice", "However, before the bone invasion is over, Grand Duke Sean doesn't want to see you dead thorns make trouble again, otherwise it will probably be a devil's nest or a ghost nest next time." ”
"You're threatening me?" The killing stele snorted coldly, and the black armor on his body suddenly turned blood-red, and the blood qi that was so thick that it was disgusting suddenly completely spread.
"I'm just reminding Lord Killer." Although Diana's face was pale, her attitude was still neither humble nor arrogant, and she kept a smile, "It's our honeymoon period of cooperation, please don't break this tacit understanding." ”
"Hmph." After a cold snort, Kill Monument stopped speaking, "There's nothing for me here, I'll leave first." ”
"Please go slowly, Lord Kill." Diana still smiled.
"Miss Diana, if you are not used to staying in the Void Principality one day, the gates of our Chainas Empire will be opened for you at any time." Jason looked at Diana and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your kindness, if there is a day, I will definitely contact you." Diana replied with a smile, "But now that the matter has been completely resolved, Lord Sean is still waiting for me to report back to report the situation, so please allow me to retire first." ”
"Of course, please." Jason nodded.
And Diana did not stay any longer, but turned and walked down the hillside, where a carriage had been waiting in the shadows. The driver of the carriage was none other than Rupee, and although there was no one else in the carriage, it was clear that the carriage was not as simple as it seemed, through the shadows that were constantly surging around it and the strong aura that was hidden in the shadows.
Wait until only Jason is left on the high ground. When Wayne, the miracle military god, was alone, the middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes walked up again.
"My lord, why don't you let us keep that woman?"
"What can she do even if she is detained?" Jason shook his head, "It's just a big deal with Sean." …… After tonight, perhaps he can no longer be called the Grand Duke of the Void, but should be called the Emperor of the Void instead. ”
"The other empires won't agree."
"How many other empires?" Jason let out a sneer, "The Maggie Empire and the St. Joels Empire are about to go to war, and the Millennial Covenant Empire is being harassed by the army from the Bone Plane, and at the same time, we also have to guard against the Emilian Empire that is eyeing the Empire next to us, and four of the five ancient empires will have to take care of themselves." Now that the Void Principality has sent us the great gift of the Fascist Kingdom, we will be busy with harvest and stability next, so how can we have time to find trouble with him. ”
"And what about the Porudo Empire and the Titan Empire."
"Porudo will soon withdraw from the ranks of the Seven Empires, and the kingdoms next to him have been peeking at the position of the Seven Empires for a long time. As for the Titans, they are busy fighting the Sea Clan, if this war is won, it will be fine, if they lose, I am afraid they will withdraw from the ranks of the Seven Great Empires. In a few simple words, Jason thoroughly analyzed the situation at the top of the continent today, "So, do you think we still need to offend such a new empire?" ”
"My lord, you mean, the Void Duchy's upgrade to an empire has ......"
"Unstoppable." Jason added, "Neil, William, Hela, Diana...... Of the four giants of the Void Empire, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. Then she also annexed the entire Savage Land, although the previous method of killing Wu Ji was indeed a little cruel, but it was precisely because of her ruthlessness that she accelerated the internal digestion and stability of the Void Principality, otherwise I am afraid that it will drag on for a few more years before they are eligible to upgrade to the Empire. …… If it really dragged on by that time, the other major empires would have already eased up. ”
"Okay, whether the Void Empire is established or not, the relationship with us is not very large, with today's cooperation, it can be regarded as a better way to communicate in the future." Jason. Wayne smiled, "Next, let's do what we didn't do back then, and this time there will be no one to stop the expansion of the empire." (To be continued.) )
PS: Big Chapter, you know.
