Chapter 426: Deep Sorrow (35): Battle with the Emperor (Part 2)
boom!
boom!
Under the strong blessing of the flame magic power transformed by "Shang", the "Silver Sunflower" pistol actually exerted unprecedented power since its design.
After a short period of energy gathering, the slender flame emitted from the muzzle quickly turned into a magic source energy shell mixed with a trumpet-like spread of strong flames, and hit Ivan 22 directly. direction.
Before the great Emperor Crusted could react, the flames completely enveloped his seemingly tall, but actually despicable and "ugly" body like a ferocious lion, and continued for four to five seconds. Under the impact of the continuous flames, layers of thick, dark, and pungent smoke mixed with the smell of burned flesh and rotten flesh were stirred up.
After barely reacting, Ivan 22 quickly surged the water source and dark magic source power fused by the [Order] profession, exuding water vapor and ice crystals.
About half a minute later, when the smoke and dust dissipated, Luo Ka and "Future" discovered that the majestic Emperor in front of them, who was originally majestic and dressed in noble clothes, now seemed to be rubbed by invisible hands. His body was extremely unnatural, even for humans. A gesture that even the most imaginative abstract artists could not paint.
His body was twisted, his hands were stuck to his back, and his legs were forced to rest on top of his head under the impact, but his chest was straight, and his burning, red-glowing heart had been smoked. The charred body was beating violently, as if it would break away from the body's control at any time and develop on its own.
His originally calm and handsome face was actually melting like a wax statue, with burnt eyebrows and hair mixed with bright red blood flowing downwards, like wax water that was about to drip.
The Krusted Emperor's dress, which symbolizes supreme authority and dignity, is more like a tragic joke. It is only for people to admire and does not provide Ivan XXII with any ability to defend against the flames. He is almost in contact with the flames. It quickly evaporated in an instant and disappeared completely, turning into smoke and dust.
This deformed body did not seem to be completely dead. Within a few seconds, Ivan 22's skin seemed to be completely unable to maintain the stability of the body surface. It began to break and fall off one after another, making the dark red and thick white things appear. Like a wound gnawed by a beast, it spurted out from the darkened part.
At this moment, Ivan XXII has completely lost his human posture. He is like an evil ghost from the underworld and hell, or an evil spirit in a dark cellar. His body is ugly and twisted, struggling to stand up. The pair of eyes that had not been affected for a while barely broke free of adhesion, exuding extreme anger and confusion.
After struggling to get up and failing, Ivan 22's throat first made a long-lasting harsh noise, like a whistle, and then a hoarse, shuddering chuckle.
A few seconds later, accompanied by abnormal fluctuations in magic power, this almost non-human body actually made a human voice:
"Betrayal...the thing I hate most...is betrayal. How on earth are these ill-intentioned people...teaching you...making you...bury all your sinful thoughts...in a pure...heart?" under……"
"You are wrong, His Majesty the Emperor." "Future" first sneered, and then refuted:
"I said, the purpose of my coming here is to follow Lorca to retrieve the stolen things, not to wake you up. We did see General Augustus just now, but we heard the first details of your 'New Construction Plan' From now on, we want to destroy your attempt to control the world after waking up."
After "Future" finished speaking, he raised his head and laughed wildly like a madman, and even almost lost his balance. He did not fall down with the help of Luo Ka.
This young man, who was almost driven crazy by the pain of war and lost people, has experienced countless tests of survival and death. The elite lost people of the "Order Society" whose friends and companions around him are constantly leaving, at this moment, face the initiator of the disaster. , unable to suppress his emotions any longer, they all burst out.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, you are selfish, you are cowardly, and you dare not face the inevitable demise of the empire. As everyone knows, with the advent of the steam age, when exponentially more products are exported from factories and circulated around the world, the closed and independent Ke The Rust Empire will no longer exist. "Future's expression was distorted, but his speech was clear and his words were logical and logical.
"Steam will serve as a catalyst to accelerate people's doubts about the emperor. When the machinery everywhere is running wildly, and countless trains are transporting the ore of Catharris via the 'Great Railway' and transporting our industrial products to them, the old empire of Crusted will be destroyed. The bell has already rung.”
"Nonsense!" Ivan 22 struggled to retort:
"The empire has gone through thousands of years and has...become...an eternal existence..."
"Nothing is eternal." "Future" interrupted:
"This is true even for gods. When the power of human admiration for them gradually disappears, the world will forget their existence. Under the supreme 'principles' established by the Creator, they will also disappear or be promoted by others. replaced by people.
"The empire is destined to perish. The data and answers your 'deduction team' told you are correct. Whether humans evolve or not has nothing to do with the survival of the empire. Besides, do you know? How many 'unintentional people' have killed humans? It is what you call those who accepted the failure of evolution of the 'Ivanov virus' to eat and harm.
"How many people have survived the flames and death by chance, wandering between humans and 'heartless people', feeling pain and loneliness, like me and Roca, the lost?"
"This is... the pain that must be persisted... the weak... are destined to perish..."
"You are wrong, Ivan XXII, His Majesty the Emperor." "Future" felt a sore nose, held back tears, and retorted:
"War should not be a test that humans must endure. Humans should be born happy, at least... there should be no war, no need to be threatened by death at any time, have basic food and water, and do not have to survive for the purpose of survival.
"As the greatest emperor of the old Cruzde Empire, you have done this for your subjects. But what kind of evil devil Satan seduced you, devoured your soul, took away your bottom line, and made you put your body and soul on the edge of hell?
"In fact, I chose to wake you up. In addition to helping Roca take back the 'Perception Hiding', destroy it, take out the last chip, wake up Atuo, and find the 'Evolution Platform' hidden deep in the Extreme Cold Special Zone, I also want to personally judge you with 'blood and sword' for those humans and lost people who suffered and died in the disaster of the 'New Yuan Crisis', who were displaced and lived without hope."
"Judge?" Ivan XXII's voice suddenly became clear and heavy, "What qualifications do you have to judge a supreme and great emperor, a great leader who is comparable to gods, and a person who has contributed to the evolution of mankind?"
"Roca, be careful, the magic source power in his body has begun to surge." "Future" whispered, stretched out his left arm to protect Roca and slowly retreated backwards, keeping a relatively safe distance from Ivan XXII.
"Future history will prove whether my behavior is correct or your point of view is correct. But now, as long as this 'bottom of the bottom' exists, as long as this node connecting to the underworld is not closed, the power of the underworld that maintains the strong vitality of the 'Ivanov virus' will not fade. In other words, human evolution will continue." Ivan XXII said, and his body began to slowly extend outward.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
The sound of bones and skin twitching came from his dark, scorched body, and a scarlet mist seemed to be generated from the surrounding air, shrouding his body.
Slowly, his body began to stretch out, and after restoring the general outline of a human, it also quickly restored the curves and fullness of the muscles.
A few minutes later, accompanied by the murmurs of Ivan XXII and the unknown repair power related to the ancient gods that the [Orderer] merged, all the skin on his body that could no longer be used fell off.
Instead, there was a large, solid, black armor with a very ancient Cruz style, and a black and gold helmet that seemed to have a dragon horn, and a blue, boiling flame emanating from it.
The new and old Ivan XXII stomped his feet suddenly, and a wave of energy spread around, shattering the high-tech electric light tubes on the top of the space, turning them into illusory ghost bodies emitting purple light, hanging high in the air.
When the energy passed through Roca and the "Future"'s bodies, they felt like they had hit the underworld army composed of undead, feeling fear, uneasiness and decay. These rapidly spreading emotions tried to corrupt their hearts like a plague, infecting them with the fungus of madness and sin.
Immediately afterwards, the technological space in front of them also changed rapidly.
The previous "cultivation chambers" turned into crosses that held demons and emitted spiritual light. The ground turned into ugly, uneven rocks. In the distance, there was no longer a chaotic laboratory space, but an ocean that was surging with endless crimson, bathed in shrill cries and the passing of life.
A long, dim flute sound began to be heard, and stone pillars that seemed to be shaped by evil and still had a technological style rose from the ground, containing the sum of any horror and dark forbidden things they had seen.
Here, it was like the hell with endless space and time created in the classics of the Orthodox Bishop, and this great emperor Ivan XXII was more like the creator of this hell, rather than the ruler.
Just as Roca and "Future" barely stabilized their spirits and prepared to fight, Ivan XXII just slightly raised his left hand covered with black armor and gloves, and shot a beam of purple laser, which easily penetrated Roca's rapidly condensed flame shield and shattered the "Silver Double-Headed Eagle" pistol that had just been given.
Even the residual energy just brushed past his shoulder, vaporizing a large piece of his flesh, leaving the bones clearly and horribly exposed to the sight of several people.
