Chapter 1079 [Ending ]: Devil (Part )

Rednia watched the scene in front of her quietly.

It seems like all this has happened before?
The Colorado Plateau would have been a horrific scarlet in the midsummer, but now the banks of the river were filled with dark wings and green evil fire. Were there a thousand, five thousand, or tens of thousands of foreign demons, lingering on the red rocky beach?

Short inferior demons crawled out of the polluted land, carrying supplies nimbly. Bone demons protected by bone armor built a bone altar under the guidance of several blasphemous priests and pushed captives and lambs forward. With evil mutterings and crazy chanting, the flesh and blood melted into a pool of dirty plasma like boiling chocolate, followed by the crying and wailing of babies, and a large number of demon worms crawled out of the pool of blood.

Even the dumbest person can see the purpose of these foreign demons: it is not enough for them to use sacrifices of lives to pollute this land with foreign winds, they also want to reshuffle everything in the human world and transform living people into their compatriots as raw materials to expand their army and conquer their land, just like they once did to the indigenous people of this continent.

The demons are always graceful, their gestures are full of upper-class atmosphere, and every demon officer is dressed more gorgeously and decently than the gentlemen and nobles of the British Empire. If someone who claims to be the conscience of the nation in some inferior civilizations saw how the demons cut up living people, they would be moved to tears and denounce their compatriots for not embracing civilization.

However, Rednia didn't care about that.

Her goal is far away on the horizon.

——A cloud of smoke is gradually rising on the distant horizon.

Cowboys? Impossible. Or a group of traveling merchants? But in these troubled times, how could traveling merchants dare not take the official road?

While the demons were puzzled by the strange smoke, the senior officers had already noticed the approaching smoke. A centurion took a look at the direction of the smoke and immediately made a judgment:

"It's not just passing by, it's coming towards us."

"Us?" His colleague sneered, "Are you kidding? How dare these primitive ether guys without poisonous blood charge at us?"

"No, I am sure that although the team is small, they are very fast and their purpose is very clear, they are coming for us." The centurion said seriously: "I will report to my superiors, and the others should prepare to fight back!"

The centurion left in a hurry. At the same time, the gargoyle team hovering in the sky also noticed the violent smoke. Just as their ruby ​​eyes focused and tried to lock onto the existence in the smoke through detection magic, several black lightning bolts instantly penetrated the gargoyles' bodies and rushed all the way to the clouds, shattering the thick clouds and revealing the blue sky stained with blood at sunset.

Whoosh——————Boom!

At this time, the shrill scream and air explosion finally arrived.

The broken granite armor fell like raindrops, but the culprit that caused the gargoyle to fall continued to run towards the sky, drawing a retrograde comet trajectory in the air. The demons then noticed that what hit the gargoyle was not lightning at all, but a tungsten steel javelin.

But the time left for them to be horrified was shorter than their lives.

In an instant, the earth and heaven trembled, and the scarlet river valley was engulfed by the storm. Countless newly born demons were swept into the sky before they could devour each other, and were torn into pieces by the high-speed pull and friction of the storm.

The demon soldiers' instincts were faster than their thoughts, and they formed a confrontational battle formation almost immediately. Those who didn't have time tried to hide in the bunkers as much as possible. Some even organized magic formations and began to fire back in an orderly manner at the existence in the storm.

But the next moment, both the resisters and the evaders clearly realized that everything they did was meaningless.

Snap, snap, snap, clack—!
Having withstood the storm, they did not even have time to appreciate the brief peace. The violent sound of horse hooves suddenly came towards them like a mountain torrent and tsunami. The demon army raised their heads hastily: under the storm, was a team of knights in silver, trampling the scarlet river water mercilessly. As the sun set, their shadows were dragged out extremely long, and their hideous shadows were everywhere in the mountains and plains.

The knights in the front row raised their spears and directly pierced through the demons who were defending with their shields. Even the fire demons who were covered in fire were as soft as butter in front of these knights who were like heavy trains, and were trampled underfoot in an instant.

Following closely behind was a group of lightly armed dragoons. They simply relied on their feet in the stirrups to let their horses cross the barrier of corpses in front of them. With one hand holding their carbines, they called out the names of the demons behind the cover one by one, and with the other hand they picked up their sabers and slashed them, making the fleeing ones cry for their parents.

After only two waves of knights rushed into the camp, the entire legion's deployment was like a sharp knife stabbing into the heart. The lances cleared the way and guided the dragoons to fire. Just as the sentries and flying units on high ground were about to counterattack, they were hit in the heart by a javelin, and the whole body and cover were blown into the sky.

Rednia watched indifferently as the demons were slaughtered.

The person she was really looking at hadn't arrived yet.

Those foreign demons who could choose their prey and destroy the homes of millions of people at will, and who could not be exterminated even by artillery and atomic bombs, were now like pigs and dogs, allowing the knights to kill them.

No, this wasn't a fight at all.

This is massacre.

But those knights without helmets were clearly human. They rode and hacked happily, and sometimes blew whistles. The cavalry formation could be changed quickly, making it impossible for the counterattacking demons to catch them. They cooperated seamlessly with each other and were even able to counterattack these counterattacking demons.

After they broke up the demons' formation, they immediately split up into small groups and went around the two banks of the valley. Only by standing on a high place could one see how they changed their formations. The knights clung tightly to their horses' backs and kicked their horses' bellies. They circled along the washed-out delta, and while the demons were still pounced on their tails, they suddenly rushed from behind and stabbed them in the buttocks with a knife.

The battlefield was divided by the cavalry's tactics of constantly interspersing - dispersing - interspersing.

After several rounds of charges, the demon corps was actually disrupted by hundreds of cavalrymen. The chaotic battlefield environment made the high-level demons lose the right to know about the battlefield. They had to walk out of the camp themselves, put on their armor and go into battle, ready to stop this farce with their personal bravery and authority.

The high-level demons revealed their true colors, with fluttering hair and beards, insect-like elytra wings as sharp as blades, and tall and muscular bodies. They also exuded a strong aura of black magic.

"Stop! Stop it! You lowly worms, if you continue to cause chaos like this, I will ask Lord Pergale to throw you into the depths of hell, and you will never be able to escape!"

Five or six big demons just rushed out, and relying on mental enslavement and intimidation, they stabilized the chaotic demon army, reorganized the situation, and prepared to organize a siege of these annoying flies.

After the reorganization, the demons just counted the number of people and were immediately disappointed: after just a few intrusions, they had lost 30% of their manpower. And the equipment and resources destroyed were too numerous to count.

"Who is it?!"

The demon leader roared:

"You are a bunch of good-for-nothings, parasites from the outside world. You are being infiltrated by a group of humans. What are you doing standing there? Pull them out for me—"

"Idiot, you are really stupid. Haven't you realized how powerful the opponent is?"

A pale-skinned humanoid high-level demon slowly walked out of the tent. He glanced at the dusty battlefield, narrowed his eyes, and said indifferently in English:
"I am the Outlander, [Pale Baron] Asteres. Your Excellency, those who can use such force on Earth are definitely not ordinary people."

Astralis spread his hands:

"Let me be frank. For beings like you and me, there is no need to argue over a few mortals whose lifespans are as short as candlelight. Why don't you stop attacking and I avoid your territory? We can both take a step back. Isn't that a win-win situation?"

The demons looked at each other, totally confused as to why all this had happened. A big demon hesitated for a long time, but still dared to ask:
"Mr. Congressman, who are you talking to?"

Astralis didn't even bother to look at this idiot, and said casually:

"Idiot, I'm discussing this with your father."

"You—why is this happening?!"

The big devil felt humiliated and was about to argue, but the storm suddenly stopped.

Taking advantage of a few moments of respite, the demon infantrymen who had been penetrated several times climbed up one after another, lined up in formation, and activated all their heavy firepower and war vehicles. However, Senator Astres did not feel relieved. Instead, his expression became increasingly ugly.

Blah, blah, blah...

The blood-stained Colorado River was trampled underfoot, and a knight in armor appeared on the horizon. The scarlet sun behind him almost completely swallowed his figure, leaving only a dark outline.

He placed one hand on the sword at his waist, strolling leisurely like a poet in the fields, and walked to the front of the battle array in front of all the demons. Astralis looked up and saw that the hills on both sides of the river valley were already full of knights. They looked down from high above, and although there were not many of them, they seemed like a million strong army. Thick dark clouds covered the heads of every demon, and an indescribable sense of oppression became stronger as the knight approached.

"Who are you? Please tell me your name," Asteres shouted.

However, the knight ignored it.

"It's not easy to train your subordinates. I'm sure your strength is far beyond that of ordinary people. There is no need for dispute between us."

He simply raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the sword, and two balls of blue flames lit up in the lattice-like window.

"Your Mightiness--"

Astralis felt something was wrong, a strong sharp feeling pierced his calmness and composure. At this moment, all his rationality was defeated by the instinctive warning. He subconsciously turned around, pushed away the people around him, and raised his foot to escape.

At this moment, the knight who was facing their army of tens of thousands of demons alone suddenly spoke.

"Gnashing teeth."

The cracks between atoms were cut open, and the roaring power exploded to the extreme at this moment. The invisible scorching rays instantly pierced through the bodies of a large number of demons. Their cells were pierced by the high-energy rays and completely lost the ability to regenerate and replicate. The blazing sword blades were burned thoroughly red, and the river water under the knight's feet also began to boil.

After saying that, he drew out his sword and lightly slashed the back of his left hand.

"Stop him, don't let him cut it out!"

The demon officers roared, and all their firepower poured down in an instant, focusing the bombardment on the knight's side.

The knight remained indifferent. The shield fixed on his left arm fell off spontaneously, automatically blocking all attacks coming from it. The river water evaporated and surged under his feet, and the knight only focused on picking up the sharp blade and slashing the back of his left hand again.

"Gnashing teeth."

The real edge tore apart this fragile world. The sword edge merely passively allowed the space to pass through, thus cutting off the connection between time and space, leaving a dimensional rift. The knight stepped straight into it, and the next moment he was in front of Asteres. Before the other party could take a step to escape, he had already punched him in the face.

As easy as slapping a cake against the wall, Asteras's face was stuffed directly into his chest cavity. All the metal elements in his bones were drained in an instant, and at that moment they became softer than butter, as if they would melt if the slightest force was applied.

The knight standing in the crowd was instantly chopped and hacked by the devil's blade, but no matter whether it was magic or weapons, they could only stop an inch in front of him in the end, like a ghost that could no longer choose him.

It is impossible for a congressman's vitality to be so fragile.

So the knight raised the sword and slashed it across the back of his hand again.

"Gnashing teeth."

At this moment, an extremely strong sharpness cut and split something that was higher than time and space. A contract that fixedly connected the tangible beings and the mortal world was severed by the sword without any warning.

The knight raised his sword, spun around and slashed, and the demons around him disappeared in an instant.

—Demon? There is no demon here.

All evidence of its past existence has been severed and removed, leaving no memory.

When the wind is cut by the sword, the earth will forever lose a few cubic meters of air. When the water is cut by the sword, it will separate into different streams and never meet again. When life is cut by the sword, its connection with the objective material world and its influence on this world will be erased.

At this point, it can no longer be considered a killing.

The knight calmly swung the sword. The demons whose existence had been wiped out would never know how many of his companions he had killed. They would only rush forward stupidly, and then be swept by the sword, like nameless dust swept into the corner, and disappear, to be forgotten forever.

Can this be considered a battle? It was as light as a child erasing a mistake with an eraser.

When everything was settled, the knights went down the hill, cleaned up the battlefield in the valley, and collected the weapons and equipment of the demons. The knight swung the blade to remove the effect of the sharpening, and then carefully put it into the scabbard.

When he raised his head, a female prosecutor suddenly appeared in front of him.

He tilted his head and asked:

"who are you?"

"My name is Alexia, a prosecutor in Austin. I was originally going to Oregon, but there were demons all along the way, so I had to settle in California first and find a chance to buy a ticket."

A smile naturally blossomed on Rednia's face. She pulled out her notes from her bosom and said:

"Sir Knight, I saw you annihilate the demons just now. Although you have eliminated those demons, I must remind you that these monsters are only a small vanguard. Judging from their advancing trend, they must have built a base camp in the Rocky Mountains. Only by completely eradicating the main army in the Rocky Mountains can the West Coast be protected from invasion by foreign lands..."

The knight did not speak, but just looked at her calmly, which made Alexia feel a little confused. She held her notes and began to state her point of view:

"The demons' erosion mainly relies on the wind from the outer world. The higher the place, the easier it is for them to spread pollution. In the past, they spread the seeds of demons all over the world through the splashing of fragments produced by meteorites hitting the surface. However, the input of large forces must rely on mountains and rivers produced by melting snow. From this perspective, Mount Elbert is very likely to be the base camp of the North American demon army. We must bring this news to the Principality of California and quickly organize an expeditionary force, otherwise it will be too late..."

"Pfft!"

Before Alexia finished speaking, the knight's adjutant laughed.

"I'm sorry, ma'am...I meant no harm."

He rubbed his nose, trying to hold back his smile, but still couldn't hide the pride in his eyes. He raised his chin and said lightly:

"It's just that we came down from Mount Elbert."

"You... have already fought?" Alexia was stunned.

"Of course, Albert is stationed with a corrupted [Knight] from the Outland. That guy's sword can break through almost anything, and his shield is almost indestructible." The adjutant said exaggeratedly: "Do you know the Texas tornado some time ago? That was the [Knight] Gretelwald Nightsong......"

Leydnia held the notebook in her hand and asked in a puzzled manner:
"That [Knight] was so powerful, how did you defeat him?"

The adjutant put one hand on his waist and nodded at the leading knight:

"Well, it all depends on him."

"Him? Yes, if it's him, then anything is possible."

Rednia didn't mind asking questions even though she knew the answer.

Rather, reminiscing about the process can help her kill some of her boring time.

She turned around and saw that the knight had already walked among the soldiers and was mingling with his men.

"But I have never heard of such a powerful hero... Whose son is he?"

"You mean the boss? Leozi Dominette, whose Chinese name is Li Aoz. He is not really a noble."

Geo Skua shrugged:

"We are from the same state..."

Has he repeated what he said hundreds of times? Or tens of millions of times?

But Rednia was still willing to listen.

She unconsciously put her hands behind her back and continued playing these role-playing games.

"With such a simple background, you can become a warrior who defeats the demon army?"

"Ah."

"When did he...become a soldier?"

"Your question is very difficult for me, Geo Jaguall... It should be two years ago, no, sixteen months ago."

"So where did he study before? As far as I know, there are only three institutions and colleges that teach magic in the Yankee Free States in North America."

"We didn't study. We both graduated from the village high school. He inherited the family's blacksmith shop and worked there until the demons invaded North America. Everyone in the village fled. Country youths like us had no way to make a living, so we had to follow the warlords around and fight everywhere until we got here."

What, "Everyone in Phoenix encounters evil, Leoz kills the [bishop] with a clever plan", "North Carolina fights the [player], South Carolina surrenders the [writer]", "The [barber] fails in Alabama, the [engineer] flees to Florida"...

In a word, Leoz left his hometown and started as a military blacksmith, hammering and hammering his way to the battlefield. Naturally, he defeated a bunch of corrupt and powerful enemies from the outside world and came to this step.

Although the adjutant's words were quite interesting, he soon noticed that Prosecutor Alexia gradually showed an attitude of "Are you kidding me?"

"...You don't believe it?"

Gio Skua asked.

Rednia blinked.

In her memory, Gio Jaguars didn't seem to have said such words. But before she could think about it, he had already recited the dialogue skillfully:

"Demons have invaded this world for nearly thirty years. The study of demons, combat skills, and magic is no longer a secret. Apart from a few atomic weapons, the only ones who can fight against demons in this world are demonized knights who have undergone surgical transformation."

"Oh, he didn't have any surgery."

"You can tell just by looking at the appearance. If it really has demonic organs and limbs implanted into it, it would be impossible for it to maintain a human appearance."

"But I still don't understand."

Redenia pretended to hesitate for a moment:

"Where does his power come from?"

It was already late at night when we finished cleaning up the battlefield.

The knights invited Rednia, who was in disguise, to go with them.

Geo Skua still entertained her warmly as before, and Rednia remained the same as before. She did not stay in the tent, but visited everywhere and communicated with these rough guys.

As in the past, Fu Shen complained about the conflicts between the navy and the army and talked about his love for the ocean.

Eleventh talked to her about some spell research. The formulas had changed a bit, but they were generally consistent with his memory.

"is love."

Ye Zhanjian was drinking and gave her a strange excuse.

"dragon?"

Redenia looked surprised and said subconsciously:

"You can't say he is the descendant of the dragon just because he is half Han Chinese, right? If the current Ming Emperor Zhu were a real dragon, how could he accept constitutionalism and let the Prime Minister lead the cabinet?"

"It's not a dragon, it's love."

Ye Zhangjian burped drunkenly, stared at him and laughed:

"The love for this world and this life is the reason why Leoz is invincible."

..............................

Rednia clearly noticed that something had changed.

She said nothing, ready to see how this would change.

"Although it sounds like a really... boring statement at first." Ye Zhangjian was depressed: "Generally speaking, shouldn't it be something like, falling off a cliff to obtain ancient inheritance, the grandfather in the ring, a chance encounter, swallowing a mysterious fruit, or even being struck by lightning or injured by a dump truck? People think it's acceptable, what is love?"

But after saying this, no one continued.

Fu Shen lowered his head in silence, while Eleventh fiddled with the campfire casually.

A dull male voice came from behind her:

"It turns out that you are not a completely cold-blooded beast, Red King."

She had heard this voice at some point in time.

Rednia tilted her head.

All the memories before her eyes disappeared and she returned to reality.

The aurora flashed over the cold sky of Kamchatka Peninsula. Her body collapsed in the snow. The Emperor's battle axe cut her neck, and she let the man step on her chest.

The hooded bandage man, or rather [Origin of Weirdness] Spector, kindly added a few sticks to the bonfire and turned to ask:
“This was Rednia’s plan before she left this world: to give Leoz a truly wonderful life and completely replace her and Leoz’s lives.”

"Oh, in this case, Astrara will not choose Him, but choose her, the traitor."

[Emperor] Anpollo stepped on Rednia's chest and said contemptuously:
"Look at you, Red. You look so miserable now. Is this your plan? To trade a dream for nothing?"

Rednia tilted her head:
"Lioz won't turn into Astrara, so the universe won't be completely destroyed, and He will be able to have a satisfying life. Excuse me, is there any problem with this?"

"Besides, I didn't change Leoz."

“The one who really changed is me.”

"Rednia King, no, from the first time the existence of 'Red' appeared in history, as a patchwork of Leviathandar, it was this existence that was changed."

"I have collected the suffering of Leoze, I have collected my life and my identity as Red."

“Then replace it.”

Spector spoke for her:

"The fundamental reason why Lioz was killed by Astrola was because of the suffering, injustice and bias he experienced. He has been giving and sacrificing all the time, but has gained nothing, and is always controlled by others and cannot be independent. When you have experienced these things, you will also spontaneously hate this world and hope to resist."

"That Leoz, who came from the Star Abyss with nothing, is really an incredible genius here on Earth."

Rednia said nothing.

She raised her tattered hand, with cracks on her palm. Every cell of her skin was resisting the erosion of the air. They grew and evolved in this constant resistance, and would eventually turn into a giant like Leoz.

"Congratulations, Lord Red King, your wish has finally come true."

Specter looked at Rednia's expression, which was neither happy nor sad:
"We almost let you succeed."

As soon as the words fell, ripples appeared in the space and several familiar figures walked out.

The leader was Silverston.

"You are truly worthy of me, Lord Red King. You designed a plan to have Leoz kill the Creator, then exchange his life, seize Astrara, and achieve his own eternity. A satisfied Leoz will naturally not hunt you down."

Silverston walked up and held out his hand to Specter, who handed him a golden treasure.

"The Creator was killed by Astrara, the incarnation of Lioz, and the double helix system was broken. As a result, you broke the cycle, causing Xingyuan and the Earth to be in a process of mutual attraction and continuous fusion for a long time."

Silverston said, pressing the treasure to his heart.

Volt————————

"But, thanks to you."

The golden feathers swayed in the wind, and demonic horns grew from the forehead.

【The Plundered Soul】Silverston, reappears in the world.

"We were able to break free from the shackles."

[Redemption of the Fairy] Leanding put one hand on his waist and said calmly:
"The Styx is turned upside down, the cycle of life and death is also destroyed, time and space are disordered, and the existence that has been destroyed and the history that has been forgotten will also be obtained."

Gaba --

[Pioneer of Fine Arts] Azarofei rubbed his hands in preparation, spread his silver-blue wings behind him, and floated in the air.

"And this is the day we have been waiting for!"

[God of Destruction] Dumfis wore wolf-head shoulder armor, raised his left hand, and bowed his head in greeting:

"No matter what, I'll thank you for your hard work in setting the old world on fire."

[Dominant Will] Mephidria slowly stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and gently brushed across Rednia's face:
"You seem to think that you can really live on your own forever."

"…So, this is all a scam?"

Rednia stared into Mephidria's scarlet eyes, and suddenly smiled:
“I remember these eyes.”

She stared at him and said:
"When Lioz transformed into Astrara, his eyes were not blue, but the same scarlet red as these eyes!"

"laugh."

[Fine Arts Pioneer] Azarofi sneered:
"Guess why she is called Mephidria? Why is the main god of [Dominion] called [Dominion Will]?"

"Sir Mephidria, or rather, the original [Dominant Will] is the supreme masterpiece of the Creator."

[Redemption Fairy] Lai Anding said:
"He was born as the Supreme God who rules over the entire Star Abyss. Even if Leoz usurps His power and Gaia devours His holy demons, they cannot take away His divinity, divine authority, and divine kingdom."

"Thanks to the Scholar, I was able to predict that Rioz would not be willing to become Xingyuan's victim and would definitely choose to 'load the game'."

[Origin of Weirdness] Specter sneered:
"And what was activated among the keys he took away was the divine power of Mephidria."

"The divine authority is unique. Since Leoz has assumed the office of the Lord of Redemption, He is automatically deemed to have lost the qualification to inherit the Lord God. And Lord Mephidria's consciousness will naturally return from the throne."

Silverston said calmly:
"As long as I can guide the path of "Domination" in Leoz, his proud foundation as a star descender will become the string that Mephidria uses to manipulate him."

"After that, there is nothing more to say. The Creator was killed by Astrara, and Gaia ascended out of the observable universe to become a higher existence. It was inevitable. In order to usurp 'eternity', you chose to exchange lives with Rioz. Although this was not our original intention, I didn't expect that you would actually push Xingyuan and the Earth to form a brand new world."

Mephidria said:
"You did well. You were right. You were absolutely right. Rednia King."

"But, as Leanding has said again and again: In the Star Abyss, no."

The six main gods of Xingyuan stood in the ice and snow of Kamchatka Peninsula, proving the cruel fact to Rednia once again:
"Whether it's the Star Abyss or Earth, in the entire human world, the only things that cannot be crossed are death and class."

The world is remade.

The main gods are still the main gods.

"Do you think we will allow you to leave if we get Astrara?"

The order has been rewritten.

The elites who rule the world are still elites.

"Eternity requires four stages: bloodline, hunting king, survival, and finally eternity. These are all written in the game system - but unfortunately, you are just an NPC, and the [player] did not give you the system. We, on the other hand, have been the board of directors of the game company from the beginning."

Even that group of people are still the same group of people.

Everything has changed, and nothing has changed.

Rednia lay in the snow.

At this moment, she suddenly understood a lot of things.

"...Oh, so this is how Rioz feels."

No matter how hard you struggle, you cannot escape the fate of being controlled by others.

No wonder, no wonder.

Even though he had the eternal existence he had always dreamed of, Leoz was still unhappy and wanted to rise up in rebellion. Even his decision to rebel was deliberately guided by others.

It's really, really sad.

"Angelo, Lyle."

She turned her head and looked at the two people who had captured her:
"You two bad guys actually cooperated with the Star Abyss Lord. Without Gaia, aren't you afraid that I will become a [society]?"

"First of all, the main subject here is the earth."

[Emperor] An Po Luo said coldly:

"Your fusion has allowed foreign demons to invade our noble and prosperous homeland. I would rather cooperate with the Star Abyss Gods than to crush you, a bastard who betrayed the Earth, to ashes."

"Secondly, this is Earth."

[Scholar] Lyle smiled slightly:
"The narratives haven't merged yet, and there's no source soil here. You don't have the two conditions needed to transform into a society: civilization and source soil. You'd better forget about trying to deceive us with this. At least deceive yourself first, right?"

"is it?"

Lying on her back, Rednia murmured:

"You old foxes, you really have calculated everything."

She looked at Lyle:
"Lyle, who would have thought that after hiding for so long, you would be the one who has the last laugh? Even Mother Gaia was included in your scheme."

Rednia now is just like Leoz back then.

The replacement of her life left her with only a broken body and the ability to barely survive, and she also lost the inheritance of [Gem Dragon King] Leviathandar, the status of [Collector], and the identity of [Plundering Soul].

Now she has nothing and is good for nothing, even worse than a cannon fodder god.

"I will settle accounts with him in the future."

Anpollo glanced at the Scholar, then turned around and pulled the axe from Rednia's body:

"Red, my good captain, although you cannot usher in true eternity, but at least you can get eternal death."

He clenched his battle axe, and with full of anger, he chopped down at Rednia's head!

--------------

"Once upon a time, there lived a collector. He had two children."

"I've heard this story many times," said Lioz.

Rednia did not respond, and continued to talk to herself:
"One is called Fangrey Stan. He is the real child of the collector. He is deformed, stupid, ugly and lame."

"The other one is Red Tlecky. He stole Van Grey's identity and status, took away his father's love and property, and used his connections and financial resources to advance his army. He even became the shadow king of the country."

"But do you know what happened to the two of them?"

Leoz said:

"Fang Ray Stan's name has gone down in history and has become an important page in art textbooks. His works are rare treasures even in the post-Xingyuan era."

"And Red, he's dead, no one remembers him, he usurped Silverston's history, and the result is that everything Red has is gone, even now, he has dedicated his own existence to eternity."

"No one remembers the unscrupulous Red Tready, but almost everyone remembers the stupid Van Grey Stan."

Rednia stopped.

She let go of Rioz's large hand, took a few steps forward, and turned to face herself.

[Leoz.]

Her eyes were blue and her tone was calm, just like Leoz's:

〖I'm pretty good to you, right?〗

"That's... a bit complicated."

Lioz's eyes were full of dragon pupils, just like Red King in the past, and he said jokingly:
"If you hadn't stolen my source soil, Gaia would not be my opponent. I would have transformed into the [real society] and led the entire Haines to rise together."

Rednia cupped her hands, and an ugly but cute stitched monster immediately appeared in her arms.

"Awoo, meow, woof?"

The little stitched monster Mikhail tilted his head and licked Leoz's hand with a look of surprise and kindness, but then he looked back at Rednia in confusion.

Perhaps it is now difficult for it to tell who looks more like its master.

"Mikhail, it is a creation of the source earth, and it has all the source earth that I got from you."

Redenia calmly handed it to Rioz:
"Now, return the property to its original owner, and return it double - in this way, you can defeat Gaia."

Lioz picked up Mikhail and teased him for a few times. The little stitched monster quickly became familiar with his scent and licked his palm affectionately, as if it had never belonged to Red.

Leoz was thoughtful. He asked:

"Lei...Astrara, where are you going?"

〖I'm pretty good to you, right?〗

Redenia simply asked.

"This can only be considered a draw...but, I have to say it."

Lioz smiled:

"Compared to my dear mother, Leandin, you are really good to me."

[Leoz, no, Leoz.]

Redenia clapped her hands gently:
What does it feel like to be human?

"I love it." Leoz said, "Do you want to leave here?"

〖I also like the taste of eternity.〗

Redenia says:
"Your life isn't wonderful, but I'll fix it."

"I understand. You are already Astrara. Next, you will do what Astrara should do."

Lioz picked up Mikhail:
"Then what should I do?"

〖Enjoy your life, or do what you want to do.〗

Blue sparks burned on Rednia's face. She turned around and pushed open the door to the sea:
Goodbye, Leo.

After saying that, she walked in and the door closed.

Click.

Warhorse's Li Oz blinked.

The east was already bright, and Yawen snuggled up to him.

The wind blows quietly over San Francisco, and he and his troops are about to enter the palace. In the days to come, the strongest warrior of mankind, Leo, will write a wonderful fantasy adventure story.

It will undoubtedly be a wonderful life.

A happy ending that belongs only to Li Oz.

"Woof, meow, baa?"

Mikhail stood on his shoulders, Lioz smiled, and continued riding forward.

"Ouch, Rioz—ouch!"

Yawen lowered her head and almost fell on the horse's back. She quickly held her bulging belly and looked around. She saw that Li Oz, who had the little stitched monster sitting on his shoulder, had left the team and was walking north alone. Her heart tightened and she quickly shouted:

"Where are you going? Li Oz, are you going to leave me alone again?!"

"Hey! You're awake."

Li Oz turned his head, looked at Yawen, and smiled at her:

"Honey, I'm going to do something earth-shattering. I'll be back soon."

"Liar!"

Yawen pinched the corner of her clothes and shouted loudly:
"But we're about to arrive in San Francisco, and we agreed to stay here. Are you leaving suddenly at this time? Is there something more dangerous to deal with?"

"oops……"

Li Aoz shrugged and couldn't help but complain:
"A tailor who doesn't have low self-esteem or a love-brain mentality has a really good brain."

If she wasn't pregnant and couldn't move around easily, Yawen really wanted to rush over and pull Lioz back, but now she could only watch Lioz walk further and further away and continued to shout:

"You liar! The baby is going to be born in six months, I don't want you to take risks! Come back! Li Oz, you unfaithful man, are you going to find some beauty? Idiot! Don't leave!"

"In a sense, you are right."

Li Aoz waved his hand and looked at the angry Yawen. He sighed sincerely:
"Miss Yawen, do you know that your confidence and rationality in facing the person you like are better than all the beauties and beautiful scenes in the world?"

"——You are so smooth-talking. Come back quickly."

Yawen's cheeks flushed, and she turned her head and said:

"No matter what you say, I don't want to leave you. If you must do something, at least tell me what you want to do."

"Ok."

Lioz turned around and said to her solemnly:

"Dear Miss Arwen Heskishin, I will destroy the world, rule over all living things, and turn them into parts that I can manipulate at will."

Such absurd remarks, if made under normal circumstances, would only make people feel ashamed and embarrassed.

But Yawen just hesitated for a moment and asked:

"...How many enemies are you going to face?"

"I don't know, at least one."

"Is he strong?"

"Strong, so strong that being stronger than her is meaningless, and being weaker than her is impossible to defeat her."

"If that's the case, doesn't it mean that she can only be defeated if both are equally matched? But if two equally matched people fight, there is still a 50% chance that they will lose."

Yawen asked worriedly:
"Li Aoz, why do you want to face such an opponent?"

"For what?"

Li Ozi shrugged:

"For four dishes and one soup."

"Be serious."

"Because I want to."

Li Oz teased Little Mihail on his shoulder and said gently:
"It's not that I fight her for something, but I want to fight. Just like Lanaen likes to eat dried fish, Fu Shen likes the sea, Ilevent loves to create, and Ye Zhangjian likes to fail at the critical moment..."

"What kind of reason is that?"

"And, just like I like you."

Li Oz raised his head and looked at Yawen:
"If I like it, I just like it. If I want to do it, I just want to do it."

He clenched his fists and said in a deep voice:

"I don't know why I want to fight her, but I have reasons why I absolutely don't want to lose to her."

"I want to win. I must defeat her. No matter who she is, I just want to defeat her! Not for proof, but because I want to do it. As a 'human', I want to fight her!"

"Reason, no reason."

"Whether it's saving the earth or destroying Xingyuan, I don't care about that at all. As a person, I am selfish. I just want to fulfill my own wishes!"

Li Oz punched the sky hard and shouted righteously:

"So, I want to destroy this world, not let it develop as it is, but to transform and innovate it according to my will, the will of a 'human', a selfish world that only suits my ideas and is not perfect at all."

"I want to do this. Don't ask me if I can, and don't ask me if I should."

"Just because, I guess."

"it is good."

Yawen readily agreed:

"So, what do you want to eat when you get back?"

"If it's a normal day, I'll have chicken stewed with potatoes. If it's morning, I'll have a bowl of beef soup, spicy soup, pan-fried dumplings with oily steamed buns. For lunch, I'll have noodles with nepeta and roast chicken. For dinner, I guess I'll be starving by the time I get home. Just give me a bowl of hot dry noodles, and pineapple beer or Jianlibao as a drink. How about that?"

"it is good."

Yawen wrote it down and waved to Li Oz:
"Remember to change your boots when you come back home."

"Of course I will."

Li Aoz smiled, turned around, and looked serious.

After walking for several miles, Lioz entered a wooded area.

There was no one around, so he took the opportunity to reach out and touch the back of his neck. He scratched it several times and finally felt something cold and hard. Li Aoz hurriedly grabbed the other person, with veins on the back of his hand exposed. He clenched his teeth and pulled with all his strength.

“Ugh—humph!”

laugh!
A large amount of tissue fluid splashed on the ground. Li Oz took a few breaths, lowered his head, and spread out his palms. A small red and black key was quietly displayed in it.

"It's not over yet."

A flash of scarlet appeared in Li Oz's eyes, but as the key was crushed by him, the last trace of red in his eyes also dissipated.

"It's not over yet! They are still controlling my life!"

But this time, he was free from restraints.

Because the one standing here is no longer the cannon fodder god Leoz.

But he is a real mortal, Li Aoz, an earthling from Xingyuan.

"In the end, you succeeded in freeing yourself."

Li Oz raised his head and said unexpectedly:

"It's you?"

A man with a sage-like appearance and elegant clothes stood in front of him. When the man saw Li Aozzi's reaction, he smiled:
"It's me, and not just me."

After saying that, he waved his long sleeves, and several human figures appeared out of thin air on the ground.

"Ouch! Nomi, move your legs, you're poking my ribs."

"Get off me first! And Di Yalan, don't play dead. You are the strongest. Get up quickly."

The three of them quarreled and struggled for a while before finally standing up from the ground.

"Huh... It was such a long journey, even farther than the source. I almost thought I had a chance to die at the hands of Astrara, but it just crawled away. How boring."

The woman with short moon-white hair dusted herself off, turned around and looked at Li Oz.

She was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled:
"Also, long time no see, pretty little beauty."

"Hey, Nelia." Li Oz greeted.

"No, it's really Nomi this time."

Nomi shrugged and said:
"It's so strange. You've changed a lot, but I recognized you at the first sight. Is it because I also have Astrara in me?"

"You are also the host of Astrara?" Li Oz was not surprised at all: "Maybe there is some resonance between them, just like the real general can find me directly - no, should I call you the Immortal Venerable now?"

"It doesn't matter." The Immortal Venerable said calmly: "I know what you are going to do, but before that, your current resources are not enough."

"How to say?"

"The six main gods have resurrected. I know you killed all the secret councilors who were corrupted by the Outer Realm along the way, and you also got the shield and sword of the Knight, but this is not enough. You have to face the six main gods and Gaia. They will not be like the Creator, who does not care about their own lives and allows you to slaughter them."

Di Yalan explained.

Li Ozi frowned:
"This is really troublesome... It would be much better if Tanzimat was here. I killed Leanding once before. I can kill one with one sword."

"Tanzimat has not been integrated yet, but during the integration process, we found a replacement for you. Here it is."

Lista Caccia took out a package, spread it on the ground, and untied the cloth wrapped around it layer by layer, revealing a simple-shaped starlight sword with a deep blue hilt.

"This is……"

Li Oz was stunned.

"This is your sword."

The Immortal said:

"The divine sword wielded by the God of the Present World has no extra effects. It can only cause pure and real damage."

"But, what's the use of that?"

"How can the mere power of this sword compare to its meaning to you?"

Li Oz picked up the starlight sword and immediately began to dance with it skillfully.

Although there was no neural connection, as soon as he touched it, he felt a blood connection.

"This is my sword."

Compared to Tanzimat, this sword is obviously much weaker, but it is closer to him than Tanzimat's weapon.

"Before his death, the God of Reality, Releti, gave me this sword and gave 10752 his first name."

Li Oz said softly:
"Now, I'll give you a name, too."

"Stella...Stella, the name of the star."

"This is a sacred weapon, the Star Sword of Leoz."

Seeing that Li Aoz was so satisfied with the weapon, several people looked at each other.

"Weapons alone are not enough. You are facing six Star Abyss Lords."

As the Immortal Venerable spoke, he rummaged into his sleeve and took out a small snow-white flying dragon, which immediately flew up and wrapped around Li Oz's wrist, and the dragon's wings retracted and turned into a wrist guard.

"With this, you are truly complete."

Li Aozi gently pulled the dragon wings on the wristband, and countless activated silver-white flesh and blood tissues instantly spread out from the wristband, interweaving and merging, covering the whole body, completely swallowing Li Aozi from head to toe, forming a cocoon and turning into eggs.

"What's that noise?!" Nomi was shocked. "What did you install on him? Will anything go wrong?"

"The final equipment of the Starfall Master. Commonly known as the 'graduation suit'."

The Immortal Venerable said this and snapped his fingers.

Ping——

The next moment, the white cocoon broke open, and a ferocious white dragon rushed into the sky, roaring and howling, but was bound by countless chains that popped out from the void and pulled back to Li Oz on the ground.

The broken eggshells covered the pale tight membrane, forming fine dragon scales arranged in layers. The dragon wings folded backwards and gathered together as a dorsal armor, and the dragon tail was divided into two in the middle, forming the hem of the slender robe, dancing naturally in the wind.

There is not a single gap on the entire body of the armor. The dragon's fangs can be vaguely seen on the full-coverage visor. The six sharp sword horns extend backwards, becoming blurred at the ends and emitting a lavender light, proving that it is directly connected to the void and can mobilize the negative pressure of the universe at any time.

"Infinite Dragon Demon."

Li Oz patted the exquisite breastplate nostalgically:

"The graduation suit of the Starfall Master is also the final level of Xingyuan's equipment."

"At least this thing can allow you to overcome the environmental limitations of the Earth and release the Star Descent Technique." The Immortal Venerable said: "To be honest, even if this is the case, it is very unsafe for you to challenge Them."

"Isn't this enough?"

Li Aozi was surprised:
"It's not like I haven't killed anyone before, it's just that without Tanzimat, I can still annihilate the Lord God."

"No, the six main gods and one main god are completely different."

Di Yalan said:

"Sir Leoz, no, Mr. Leoz. I have something that may be helpful to you."

As she spoke, she took off the pendant from her neck and handed it to Leoz:
"In addition to the Doctor's inheritance, which allows you to gather the Secret Council and summon Gaia, there is also the original liquid of the Necrotic Virus. This virus comes from the Cervantes Star Realm. Applying it on weapons will definitely increase the damage to the Star Abyss Gods and Gaia... But there is only one copy. It's up to you to decide who to use it on."

"This is so useful." Li Aoz quickly put it away.

"Ah--come to think of it, I found something that might be useful to you."

Nomi hammered his palm, then took out a ring from his pocket:
"Look, this guy keeps shouting that he is the speaker of the [Machine Society], and his name is Meganiolos. After all, he is the speaker, so he might be helpful to you. I think he wants to go with you, too."

“What the hell!” An anxious voice came from the ring: “Brother Leoz! You are my father, please, I don’t want to go! I want to go home! Ah ah - wuwugugulu…”

wow-

Nomi poured a bottle of water on the ring and wiped the surface:

"Here you go—shiny!"

"...Thank you." Li Aoz put the ring away, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Finally he looked at Lista Caccia.

"What are you looking at?" Lista became alert. "I'm warning you. I've already taken out all the good stuff I picked up. Now the narrative of the temple hasn't been integrated yet. I have to save some money."

"No, I actually wanted to ask just now, who are you? Why are you here?"

"I...just treat me as a temporary worker."

Lista was in tears.

Nomi walked up to her and noticed that her pockets were bulging, so he reached in and said:
"Hey, you still have this thing hidden."

She exclaimed in surprise, took out a small egg and weighed it up and down.

"Nomi!" Lista was anxious.

"Hey, Immortal Venerable, what kind of animal's egg is this?"

"I can't tell." The Immortal Lord shook his head.

"No matter what, you take it with you."

"Is it possible that I found it..."

"Here, Leoz."

Just like that, with a lot of messy things stuffed on his body.

"That's about it."

Nomi wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Li Oz:
"Do you really want to face them alone? Even if we leave the Six Gods alone, they won't harm this new world, right?"

"Rather than saying it's harmful, it's better to say that the existence of the six main gods is quite consistent with the background of the continuous integration of the new world."

Di Yalan confessed:

"In the future, more [societies], evil gods, and narratives will be incorporated into the New Earth-Xingyuan fusion. Having the main gods maintain the stability of the universe and using their respective powers to support the world order is the most appropriate and rational choice."

"Does that mean it's our idealistic grand narrative's turn to take the stage next?" Lista said excitedly.

"But, these have nothing to do with me."

Li Aoz picked up the heavy bag and said:
"I just want to summon Gaia again and beat her to death once more. If the six main gods dare to stop me, I can only step on their corpses to get through."

"...You seem to have really changed a lot."

Di Yalan looked at Li Oz:
"If it were in the past, you would never be so willful, so selfish, and only consider your own feelings."

"But it's really strange. You've become more despicable and selfish than before, but you give people a better impression."

"If the former Leoz was a high and mighty god, an unattainable lord, then now you have become tangible, understandable, and resonate with us."

Di Yalan said, and suddenly smiled knowingly:
"It would be great if you had become like this earlier... Now you are confident, flamboyant, cunning, unremarkable, and full of flaws. But only you like this can be liked by most ordinary people, and so am I."

"Ok?"

Nomi looked at Di Yalan in surprise:

"So you like Li Oz?"

"I was moved." Di Yalan shook his head slightly, "But I'm not someone who can go to the end with Lioz. I can't do that."

"You are right, Di Yalan, I have never been attracted to you."

Leoz said frankly:

"Love and liking are both mutual processes, and whether to date is also something that needs to be carefully considered. You have feelings for me or I have feelings for you, but this cannot be the reason for two people to be together. Forcing unsuitable people together will not bring happiness, no matter how good the conditions are. In this case, I think it is better for each of us to pursue our own passions. After all, love is not a necessity, it is just a seasoning of life. No one would eat pepper and soy sauce as a staple food."

"…It's hard to imagine what you've been through to the point where you can even point fingers at other people's feelings now."

Di Yalan was speechless.

"I think it's okay."

Nomi raised his fist:

"In my opinion, Li Oz is exactly the same as I remembered you. You have always been the pretty little beauty who saved me from hell, the terrorist who slaughtered the mentally ill, and the one who always adhered to his principles - this has never changed."
