Chapter 1819 'The Ideal State' (Long chapter, please vote with monthly tickets)
Irons

"What have you done?" Under the bright moonlight, the skeletal giant raised his head and stared at Heo's body, which was wrapped in bones.

At the edge of the city, the thick fog was still trying to spread from all directions, but the speed at which it spread was much slower than before.

This magnificent city also regained its clarity at this moment.

The skeletal giant who had been sitting on the throne rose from his seat, raised his head, and looked at Hoo.

The slender rays of light were still connected to his body, but their power was now almost dim.

Along with the dimming light came the power of the skeletal giant.

He Ao raised his hand and ripped off the skeleton covering his body.

He stood up, and a 'K' symbol, which resembled both a weapon and a tentacle, appeared on his body.

A violent red light surged into his body in an instant.

He raised his hand, and the intense light gathered in his palm, forming a blurred blade.

The blade seemed to be entirely composed of light, appearing fragile and simple, but upon closer inspection, it also possessed a silent sharpness, as if it could cut through everything in the world.

"How did you sever the connection with the underworld?" The skeletal giant stared at He Ao, and for the first time, doubt and tension surfaced in his thunderous voice.

"None of that matters. What follows is our battle," He Ao said calmly, looking at the skeletal giant before him.

In fact, the 'underworld' beneath the dungeon world, or more precisely, the 'new underworld' that resembles a crevice, has not disappeared.

Rather, the connection between this 'new underworld' and the real underworld has been severed, resulting in this space losing the support of the underworld's power.

The power of the skeletal giant before them comes from the support of that 'new underworld'.

In a sense, the skeletal giant is now almost one with that new underworld; the throne beneath him is tightly connected to that new underworld.

Now that it has lost the support of the true underworld's power, the power of the 'new underworld' has also rapidly shrunk, and naturally there is no more power to give to this skeletal giant.

Now, the skeletal giant's aura and power are rapidly declining, and it no longer possesses the oppressive aura it had just displayed.

In fact, He Ao had discovered the special nature of this 'new underworld' a long time ago. When his projection entered this space before, he vaguely sensed that there seemed to be a barrier between this space and the real underworld.

With the help of the sorcerer, he quickly realized that this space was likely not an extension of the underworld, but rather a 'new world' strongly related to the underworld.

Combining his existing knowledge of occultism, he naturally guessed that this 'barrier' was related to the God of War.

After all, if Death were to act properly, he wouldn't create a new world out of the blue; he could simply spread the underworld over there.

Unless the underworld can't spread.

Of course, before that, He Ao had already tried to 'awaken' the power of the God of War. After all, the God of War clearly had a grudge against the God of Death, and the power of the God of War would definitely be useful. In this situation where no information was prepared, it was necessary to make preparations in advance.

If He Ao only begins to sense the power of the God of War after he has actually obtained the relevant information, it will already be too late.

Of course, in terms of the battle situation here in Irons, the simplest description of the whole process is that Heo removed the Skeleton Giant's cheat code.

At this moment, the skeletal giant no longer posed a significant threat to him, and his power was rapidly declining as the power of death was severed.

"You think you can threaten me by isolating yourself from the power of the underworld?" The skeletal giant raised its head, coldly staring at Heo. "Dream on!"

His body opened up in an instant, scattering countless rays of light like grains of rice. These rays of light landed on the ground and instantly grew limbs, turning into a dense skeleton.

These skeletons, each taller than a person, lay on the ground, turning the entire earth white.

The skeletal giant sat back on his throne, slightly raised his hand, and the bones on the ground raised their heads, crowding together in dense masses, and charged towards Heo.

A surge of pulsating purple light erupted from He Ao's body, instantly blasting away the skeletons the moment they approached.

These shattered bones instantly turned into dust and vanished into the void.

But in the next instant, even more densely packed skeletons rushed towards Heo.

These bones climbed onto He'ao's body, tearing at his radiance, and in a very short time covered his feet.

He raised his foot and kicked the skeletons away.

But at this moment, even more densely packed points of light fell from the skeletal giant's body, turning into more white bones.

This time, He Ao ignored the skeletons and focused on the skeletal giant in front of him. He raised the crimson blade in his hand, took a step forward, and slashed directly at the skeletal giant.

The skeletal giant raised its hand, attempting once again to block the beam of light.

But this time, his arm was severed by the light blade as soon as it was placed in front of it, and fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, Heo moved forward further, slashing his light blade toward the skull giant's head.

In that instant, the skeletal giant flipped over and dodged Heo's slashing blade.

A faint glow connected him to the throne, but at this moment that glow was unusually dim.

The skeletal giant simply raised its hand and shattered the radiance.

In that instant, he briefly lost the support of the underworld, but he also lost its restrictions, no longer needing to be confined to this throne.

He raised his hand, and the arm that had fallen to the ground flew up naturally and caught on his severed arm.

But just as the arm was reconnected, it fell from the sky and landed on the ground again.

A faint red glow covered his wound.

"Can your sword deal fixed damage?" The skeletal giant raised its head and stared at Heo.

He Ao simply gripped the blade in his hand and calmly said, "This is not a fixed injury, but the lingering rage of a god before his death."

"What are you talking about? How could a god die?" The skeletal giant sneered. He raised his hand, and beams of light gathered in his other hand, condensing into a long bone knife.

He gripped the bone knife and slashed at He Ao without hesitation.

At the same time, some invisible force suddenly rose from the depths of He Ao's soul and quickly spread to his body.

His entire body stiffened at that moment, and even the radiance that permeated the air dimmed.

Layers of faintly visible joints emerged from He Ao's body, filling his entire form.

This body was supported by pure angelic power. Originally, it had no bones, but at this moment, bones seemed to appear in his body, forming a skeleton to support his body and try to control it.

In that instant, He Ao felt as if his body was beginning to slip out of his control. At the same time, the white skeletons that had been climbing on the ground also climbed onto his body, wielding bone knives and attacking him relentlessly.

His feet and his calves began to be covered by these white bones.

The enormous skeletal giant looked at Heo in front of it, took a few steps back, first creating distance, and then spread its arms.

Twisted forces emerged from the depths of He Ao's body; they were the forces hidden deep within him, the forces hidden within the Hell Manager talent sequence.

Almost the instant this power appeared, it spread from his body to his soul, attempting to control it.

“Hawk, you can never defeat me,” the skeletal giant stared calmly at How, as if gazing at a fine work of art. “From the very beginning, you have been in my hands, with no chance of escape. This fate was sealed from the very start.”

He slightly turned his hand back and gently pressed down, and the power that was spreading towards He Ao's soul surged even more fiercely, rapidly eroding He Ao's soul.

The erosion process proceeded without any hindrance, as if He Ao's soul, or rather a part of it, had been 'cultivated' long ago, just waiting for the erosion to begin.

“When you accept my gift, you should understand that your life and destiny no longer belong to yourself,” the skeletal giant calmly gazed at Heo, his deep and hoarse voice echoing in the silent night sky, “No matter how you struggle, you will only become the medium through which I control the Illusory Heart and the Shepherd King.”

This was a preparation he had made long ago, a plan he had laid out from the very beginning.

Hawke's soul was the most suitable to serve as the core of those blank souls. From the beginning, he believed that Hawke could withstand the corruption of the Spirit Emperor and, with the help of those blank souls, master this talent sequence.

Then, it was harvest time.

He had long ago imbued Hawke's main material with his own power, gradually influencing Hawke's soul and making it the best vessel.

Once Hawke masters the Illusory Heart, he can inhabit this 'container' with his own will, thereby mastering the Illusory Heart and becoming a powerful being who has mastered the dual angel talent sequence.

Although some unexpected things happened during the process, the overall result will not change.

This is the 'price' he wants to recoup.

He knew very well that Hawke on the other side also knew all of this, and even if he himself was unaware of it, that 'K' would more or less give him some insights.

But that's just how it is; a predetermined fate can never be changed.

By the time Hawke found out all this, it was too late.

“It’s all over now,” the skeletal giant lowered his head, the purple flames in his huge eye sockets flickering with what seemed to be a 'regretful' light. He sighed softly, withdrew his hand, and calmly gazed at Heo.

It's like watching a prey struggle and eventually die.

"Is that so?" A cool question rang in his ears.

A massive, crimson blade appeared before him.

The skeletal giant's movements suddenly stopped. He raised his head and looked at the huge purple figure in front of him.

The power that was controlling 'Hawk's' soul suddenly stopped, as if it had encountered some insurmountable obstacle.

Immediately afterwards, that surging power began to flow in reverse, spreading towards the soul of the skeletal giant.

"How could this be?!" The skeletal giant's eyes widened suddenly.

"Have you forgotten what my talent sequence is?" Heo gazed at him calmly. "Spirit is my domain."

He had been waiting for this moment, waiting for the skeletal giant to try to control his soul, so that he could use this connection to extend his power to the skeletal giant's tightly sealed soul.

"How could you possibly master the Shepherd King's talent sequence so quickly?" The skeletal giant suddenly leaped back, creating distance between himself and He Ao. He stared at He Ao. "Your method of advancement is not the normal method! You should be fighting against the madness of the talent sequence right now! How could you possibly have such strong comprehension!"

“Yes,” Heo gripped the red blade, smiling as he gazed at the skeletal giant, “Just because you lack the comprehension to do it, does that mean others can’t do it either?”

In fact, He Ao didn't have that much comprehension.

But now he is a 'mystic wizard'.

The Mystic Wizard talent sequence was like a cheat code for him; the ability to boost comprehension was simply insane.

Of course, a normal sorcerer probably doesn't have as many opportunities as Heo to need 'comprehension' to understand how to use new talent sequences.

"Impossible! Impossible!" The skeletal giant further distanced himself from Heo, staring at him and trying to sever the soul connection between them, but found that he could not shake the connection at all.

He raised his head and stared at He Ao. "Impossible. Mu Linghuang doesn't have such power. How did you do it?"

“I have said it before,” Heo stepped forward, arriving in front of the skeletal giant almost instantly, “the spirit is my domain.”

The Republic

Do you have any expectations for what happens after death? Is it heaven or hell?

The ideal state is an eternal obsession, or rather, Iro's ability.

This ability likely originates from the Eternal Divine Kingdom. The ability itself is quite simple: it designates an area, within which He'ao's domain will be established.

All the spirits in this realm are under the control of Heo, but this control is not absolute; it is merely a force. The farther away a spirit is from Heo, the weaker the control becomes.

At the same time, its spirit will also be influenced by Heo.

This dominion has an additional amplification on the dead and undead creatures.

The skeletal giant before them was clearly an 'undead creature'.

Even though he has become an angel, once he is separated from his human body, he is still a spirit.

With the support of the Shepherd King and the Ideal Kingdom, and thanks to the reverse research of the Mystic Wizard, the Skeleton Giant was no longer able to interrupt the spell he had set up himself.

The dungeon will end in two days.
