Chapter 863 Stepping on the Old God

Chapter 863 Stepping on the Old God

If he felt it carefully, Lu Chen could find that the black mist clinging to the young man's body was actually relatively soft. It was just that it had such characteristics that it would certainly make people hear some penetrating sounds when it sticks to the soul.

But this will is not very offensive, and the red mist outside is different. Haquist's will is simply aimed at destroying a person's spirit.

As the old god who represents fear, he is the one with the strongest mental pollution among the old gods. The old god Clearapus may also be very good at it, but his ability was hacked to death by Lu Chen before he could target all mankind. .

When Haquist's will manifests and targets the creatures in the land abandoned by the gods, it means that he can destroy most of the creatures on this continent just by spreading fear. Even extraordinary beings cannot resist this. Simple will.

"Mr. Lu?"

Peter saw Lu Chen frown slightly, and couldn't suppress his inner curiosity.

"It's a bit strange. The old god who represents the night seems to have covered all living beings with his will, but it is not strongly destructive. In terms of the result, it is like protecting these people under the old god who represents fear."

Lu Chen withdrew his hand, and the young man fell into a deep sleep under the influence of his spiritual power.

"Protect?"

Bolton spoke in confusion. He was a little confused about the situation. When he first came up, he saw the eternal night falling, weird things raging, and the people going insane. He subconsciously thought that the old god representing darkness had come and was going to end this era.

"There is a possibility. I have also read some lost notes in the land of steam and machinery. If the old gods want to destroy human civilization, there is no need for the two to appear together. This may really be some kind of protection."

Chu Zihang analyzed on the side, looking at the people kneeling on the street to pray, "The whispers in the dark are not very aggressive. At first, there were only a few people who were mentally disturbed, but this kind of arouse people's hearts." The will of primitive fear is different. Once it is directly attached to the soul, no ordinary person should be able to bear it."

Peter listened thoughtfully to the discussion of several people. He waved to a night watchman who happened to run past the church, "Glens, come here."

Grant was a little confused when he was called, but he was also very excited. He was only a dangerous night watchman and had never spoken to the Pope before.

"His Majesty the Pope, do you have any instructions?"

Grant stood up straight, and for a moment he was ready to die.

"Let me ask you, how do you feel now?"

Peter carefully observed Grant's expression, because Grant was the lowest-level night watchman in the capital, and he was just entering the dangerous level for the first time.

Lu Chen walked forward kindly, "Let's be direct. That's it."

He put his hand on the trembling Grant's shoulder, and used his mind and spiritual power to attack the weak dark will barrier, revealing a gap.

For the will directly released by the ancient god, his God Eater ring cannot absorb it, just like he cannot directly absorb the weird things that have not been broken up by him. This is the difference between having an owner and having no owner.

Otherwise, he would not have to worry about the ancient god's attack. He could simply use the ring to absorb the divinity and the ancient god's will, and the power would be reduced by half.

When he broke through the dark film of will mist, the crimson mist seemed to have caught a gap and poured crazily into the interior. Suddenly, Grants heard harsh whispers that were dozens of times stronger than before.

That inexplicable voice went straight to the root of his heart, trying to arouse his original fear. His face was painful and ferocious, and his eyes were sometimes dull and sometimes condensed, as if he was resisting.

Lu Chen took back his power and drove away the crimson mist that was rushing inward. Then the thin film of black mist closed again. After a while, Grace felt that the frightening whisper became much weaker. , the spirit returned to normal.

"Emperor, Imperial Blade, you, what did you just do to me?"

Grant asked tremblingly, as if he was on the edge of life and death, and he never wanted to experience that suffocating fear again in his life.

"Let me ask you, you can hear the whispers of the two old gods, right?"

Lu Chen did not answer the young man's question. They had limited time.

Grant nodded, "But just now, the will of the old god who represents fear suddenly became so strong that he wanted to destroy my spirit."

Chu Zihang was thoughtful on the side, and after a few seconds of silence he said, "It's a barrier, or it can be said to be a vaccine with side effects."

In the Sistine Empire, there was a concept of vaccines. They just did not develop the industry, but they did not have any involvement in medicine.

Chu Zihang continued: "Perhaps the coming of night is not to end this era. The will of darkness is attached to the living beings, or it may not be malicious to destroy people's will, but to cope with the subsequent erosion."

Lu Chen wondered: "What about those people who have a mental breakdown when the night begins to fall?"

"No matter which lost notebook or scripture, the old god is never described as a beautiful existence. His original intention is never to save people. Perhaps this is just a process that has misunderstood us, and even if he is for protection, All living beings, as the old god, there is no need for him to be so meticulous. Those who cannot even withstand the gentle dark will will naturally not be able to survive to the end."

Chu Zihang analyzed.

Peter frowned on the side, as if he had thought of something.

"Peter, if you have something to say, just say it!"

Lu Chen shouted, he had stayed with Peter down there for nearly eight months, and he had naturally become very familiar with him.

It would be too harsh to call him "His Majesty the Pope", and as a stronger person, it would be strange for him to call him too respectful.

He knew that Peter definitely had a lot of things that he had not revealed. He was underground because he didn't know the situation above. Peter probably also thought that there was little hope of returning, so he often only spoke half of the words.

But now that everyone is here, seeing that the era is coming to an end, why don’t you tell me what secrets you have and keep them as everyone’s coffin book?

"Mr. Chu is right. The old gods are not a good thing. He will not be kind to protect humans. This should be a kind of confrontation. The life and death of humans is indifferent to the old gods."

Peter said, "What I was just thinking about was how to deal with the current situation. Regarding this, maybe the things in the palace will be helpful."

"what?"

Lu Chen asked curiously.

"Perhaps Mr. Lu has also heard rumors about it. The country of steam and machinery went to war against us because of that thing. In some rumors, it is called the Dawn of the Era, but its true identity is..."

When Peter said this, he paused, and a burst of golden light emitted from his body, blocking the sound in the area. Only Lu Chen's four-person team and Mr. Bolton could hear it.

Obviously, even though the situation has reached this point, Peter does not want too many people to know about this matter, "...the heart of the morning embrace goddess."

"heart!?"

Lu Chen was a little surprised, "You old guy, didn't you tell me last time that the Goddess of Morning Embrace is fictional!"

In private, this pope really doesn't look like a clergyman at all, because he has no faith, and will even say that his own god does not exist, and he may be the incarnation of an old god, which is not a good thing.

Peter was a little embarrassed, "Now and then, this involves the biggest secret of the Morning Embrace Church, and in principle, this secret can only be known by the Pope and the king of the Sistine Empire."

He shrugged, "You have to know that when I received this secret from the previous pope, I swore a poisonous oath on my dead parents. How could I reveal it so easily?"

Eriyi showed an interested expression, took out a note from the storage space, and handed it to Lu Chen, "This was found in the palace and is related to the first pope."

Peter glanced at Eri Yi with some surprise, "Huh, the daughter of Duke Uesugi's family hasn't even gotten married yet, and she's already helping her future husband with errands?"

He didn't say much about Eri's role as a "secret agent" in the capital. He just made a casual joke to express his attitude.

Anyway, the sky is huge and the fist is the biggest. Lu Chen is the strongest now, so he has the right to speak. Even if he goes to bulldoze the palace now, he can only cheer from the sidelines.

Oh, he didn't want to be hacked to death by that dark knife.

"What's going on? You should be better at taking notes, right?"

Lu Chen opened the note, glanced at it, then closed it calmly and looked at Peter.

It wasn't that he thought Peter must know more details than what was recorded in the notes, but that he... couldn't understand it.

But on this occasion, how could he expose himself as illiterate?

"His Majesty the Pope, how about I... go out and take charge of coordinating and maintaining order, or go to other provincial cities to expel weirdos?"

Bolton felt a little uncomfortable, and some words might not be what he should hear.

And he really has nothing to do standing here. He might as well go out and save more people. This is what he should do as the Shield of the Empire.

"Go ahead and sweep through the eastern provinces one by one. If you encounter the envoy class, retreat directly."

Peter nodded. After Bolton left after hearing the amnesty, he looked at Lu Chen and began to explain: "That's right, this involves the origin of the Morning Embrace Church..."

"spread!"

Just when Peter was mid-sentence, Lu Chen suddenly shouted loudly, pushed Peter back, and used his spiritual power to wrap up Eliyi and the others and jump up.

An arm as thick as a bucket emerged from the ground. The skin of the arm was bright red, and the whole body presented a strange translucency. This was one of the reasons why it traveled underground quietly.

But when it emerged upwards, it turned into reality at an extremely fast speed. Lu Chen was keenly aware of the sudden killing intent.

After Peter was pushed away by Lu Chen, he immediately used his power to start climbing up. At the same time, he tried his best to lift the Cathedral of Morning Embrace Church from the ground and rise into the sky with him.

Lu Chen, on the other hand, had spiritual power as vast as the sea spread throughout the city, lifting the people up and flying high into the sky with exclamations of surprise.

Looking down at this time, the once prosperous royal capital became devastated. Scarlet arms grew out of the ground like pillars and stretched into the sky. Smoke and dust were floating in the night wind.

A trembling breath of fear spread across the sky and the earth, and even the moon in the sky was dyed red. Those people who were barely awake because of the dark will wrapping their souls now felt that another will suddenly strengthened, destroying their spirits.

Arms as thick as buckets climbed densely on the ground, like tree branches growing wildly. These scarlet arms continued to split as they grew. In less than two seconds, when viewed from the distance in the royal capital, they looked like It is a giant tree leading to heaven.

The royal capital, originally built of stone, seemed to have encountered some kind of strong acid. The buildings began to collapse and the ground became as soft as a swamp.

The giant tree poked out from the boundless swamp, with fruits hanging from its branches. Each fruit was... a pale human body.

Lu Chen's expression changed. From the sense of breath, the creature below gave him an invisible sense of oppression. This was an old god!

He didn't expect the old god to appear so suddenly, and right in front of his face.

No, did he really come to the royal capital by chance?

He quickly looked to the sky in the direction of the palace, where Irina and Ji Wu Jiu were flying out, supporting a group of royal personnel.

Lu Chen looked at the city below that had been completely destroyed. This was the most prosperous city in the Sistine Empire. He wondered if the heart of the so-called Goddess of Morning Embrace had not been brought out, right?

At this moment, in the Sistine Empire, on the outskirts of a certain province.

The woman wearing a black lace dress suddenly looked back, "How could it be so fast? It will take some time for Yongye's blessing to come!"

"Your Majesty the Pope, this aura is like that of the old god Haquist, and..."

Su Liuer stood next to Mona and said hesitantly: "It is also different from what is recorded on the stone tablet."

Mona looked gloomy, and the outcome of the matter was completely beyond her expectation. Not only did darkness fall early, leaving Clement with no time to grow, but the second old god also appeared too quickly.

The most important thing is that according to the "rules" recorded on the stone tablet, it is not Harquist's turn to appear here? He should be sleeping in this era.

A figure shrouded in silver-gray light approached quickly, seeming very anxious.

Mona frowned slightly when she saw this, "Verus, calm down, breathe, and speak slowly."

The Greedy Sin Archbishop took a breath and said, "His Royal Highness the Holy Son is heading to the capital privately, and I can't stop him."

brush--

Before Verus could finish speaking, he saw the pope's crown in front of him disappear, and a voice echoed between heaven and earth, "I didn't tell you earlier!"

In the capital of the Sistine Empire, Lu Chen used his spiritual power to send the civilians and unresponsive night watchmen to the distant wilderness, "Brother Chu, organize the people in the space, I may be delayed."

He communicated with Chu Zihang through the team's public channel. Now an old god appeared, and he was the only one who could fight with him.

And when he was held back by the old gods, God knows what kind of changes will happen in this world. Although the Church of Morning Embrace is powerful, it often has to be careful. Chu Zihang has always been the one he trusts the most.

When Chu Zihang took Xia Mi and Eryi away to the distance, and Peter took the people from the church to meet up, Lu Chen's eyes were fixed on the center of the giant tree built with dense scarlet arms, and a human face appeared there, exactly like Staring at each other.

boom--

The void collapsed, and as the heaven and earth twisted, a violent red light flashed across. Lu Chen stepped on that face, and at the same time, he slashed out in a regicide style!
