He is the Lord of MC, not the God of Light!

Chapter 198. The Plea of ​​the Resonance Codex: The entire Behemoth Clan Launches an Eastern Expedition; Those Who Retreat Will Be Slain!

As a famous saying from Ian’s hometown goes, weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival; arrogance is.

The Behemoths are one of the oldest surviving ethnic groups on the continent of Rhodes.

Countless years of hard work have been destroyed by their own hands due to their arrogance in failing to see the bigger picture.

As Darkrai proclaimed the divine laws of nightmares and unleashed his divine wrath in the heavens, a dark, crescent moon loomed over the heads of all the Behemoths.

Only then did the Behemoths realize what kind of being they were facing and what they had provoked.

That was a gap that even the combined power of all the Behemoths, including all the previous Behemoth powerhouses, could not reach.

They underestimated the gods; compared to the gods, they were insignificant and pathetic.

King Behemoth teetered on the brink of collapse almost instantly; all his will to resist crumbled the moment Darkrai's imposing aura swept over him.

Despite boasting of his strength as the strongest in the Hundred Races Alliance, he didn't stand out much.

At most, I just stood there for a little longer.

Just a few seconds later, the Behemoth King collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, as easily as harvesting wheat, just like the other Behemoths.

There were no wails, no screams.

Throughout the golden forest, there was only a chilling silence, and within this silence, only faint breathing gradually faded away.

This was also the first time Lacia had witnessed a divine authority taking action against an entity under divine authority.

How to describe it...

Destroy and destroy.

Darkrai did nothing but quietly unleash his nightmarish divine power.

Thus, the Behemoths, who did not receive divine immunity, whose strength did not reach the level of divine authority, and who did not even possess a trace of divinity at the god level, were left behind.

He became as limp as if his bones had been removed.

Legendary Behemoth King, Paladin-level Behemoth Elder, Hero Knight-level Behemoth Warrior...

None were spared.

With the unbridled spread of Darkrai's divine authority, the Golden Forest became rife with malice without the need for any small attack.

It was only at this moment that Lacia understood how fragile a non-god's life was in the face of a god.

There are mixed feelings in my heart.

Lacia roughly understood that this war did not belong to the Hundred Races Alliance, but was merely a clash between the gods of two major pantheons.

Wave after wave of descent into despair swept over them, and many Behemoths began to lose their breath under the torment of these nightmares.

There wasn't a single wound, but looking at the pain and fear on their faces before they died, one can imagine how desperate their nightmare was.

King Behemoth's consciousness gradually faded, and at this moment, he finally regretted it.

The Behemoths had no right to be arrogant before the gods; to the gods, their existence was no different from that of ants…

If only I could do it all over again...

King Behemoth's eyes gradually dimmed, and his breathing became almost nonexistent.

Before his eyes and in his mind, the mournful cries of countless clansmen, their blood flowing freely, began to flash.

One by one, they were all questioning why he hadn't repented sooner.

King Behemoth gave a sorrowful smile.

Generally speaking, a person's words are kind when they are about to die...

At this moment, he really regretted it.

If he could really do it all over again, he wouldn't want that damn arrogance of an old, established family.

Submitting to the dawn is the only way out for all races.

But it was too late.

In his final moments before his consciousness faded, King Behemoth vaguely saw a dazzling golden light shoot into the sky from the sacred land deep within the Golden Forest.

It fluttered anxiously and humbly in front of Darkrai.

Resonance Codex!

Before he could even think, King Behemoth's mind had already sunk into a deep, despairing nightmare.

……

Darkrai stared at the Resonance Codex that had suddenly appeared before him. He had to admit, it truly lived up to its reputation as one of the Seven Archon Relics that had helped the continent of Rhodesli endure until now. Its power of connection had, for a moment, actually blocked Darkrai's Nightmare Laws.

but……

That's all.

The Resonance Codex's actions were not supported by the world's will, nor even by the Seven Sacred Relics.

Its power is not great.

Darkrai narrowed his eyes slightly, and his Kamui, which he had been holding back, suddenly surged out like a violent tsunami.

The Resonance Codex was on the verge of collapse for a time.

Lacia frowned and angrily rebuked:
"The Codex of Resonance! Do you wish to defy His Holiness the Pope?"

Upon hearing this, the Resonance Codex became even more anxious. Despite Darkrai's surging divine power, it hurriedly flew to Lacey's side.

It seems like they're trying to convey some kind of message.

But clearly, Lacia couldn't understand.

Just as I was pondering whether to have Darkrai suppress the Resonance Codex in one fell swoop and take it back, Ian's projection silently appeared next to the Resonance Codex.

"Your Majesty the Pope!"

Lacia's face lit up with joy, and Darkrai also withdrew his divine power.

Ian nodded slightly to Lacia, then turned to look at the Resonance Codex with a blank expression, while a strange Pokémon figure resembling a Gundam loomed in and out of sight beside him.

"You want to protect them?"

The Resonance Codex kept flipping up and down.

Ian’s tone grew colder.

"At this crucial time of the Eastern Expedition, the Behemoths have refused to obey orders, which is a joke on the entire continent of Rhodes! Moreover, the Behemoths dare to defy the Church of Dawn..."

"You still insist on protecting them?"

Ian gazed silently at the Resonance Codex, and after a moment, said:
“The continent of Rhodes can lose the Behemoths, and it can lose the Resonance Codex… With the power of connection, I also have better options to replace your existence.”

Zygard's enormous head leaned forward and stared at the Resonance Codex.

Darkrai lowered his head instantly, and even Lacia sensed the powerful pressure, feeling a chill run down her spine.

This unknown deity is probably comparable to Liekongzuo.

The Resonance Codex froze for a moment, then slowly flew over the Behemoths' heads. For some reason, Lacia sensed the Resonance Codex's pleading intent.

Ian said no more, staring intently at the Resonance Codex for a long time before speaking in a cold tone.

“Darkrai, reclaim your Nightmare Authority. This is the first and the last time. If it happens again, the Behemoths will be wiped out, and I will relinquish your divine authority over the Laws and hand it over to Zygarde.”

"Lecia, the entire Behemoth race is to be conscripted into the army and sent to the eastern battlefield. The Night Watch will monitor them, and if even one dares to retreat, he will be executed!"

"As long as the Demon Race is destroyed, the Behemoth Race shall not be allowed to return to the west of the Heavenly Barrier!"

After speaking, Ian immediately withdrew the projection, seemingly in a bad mood.

Lacia didn't dare to think too much. After Ian left, she glanced coldly at the somewhat dejected Resonance Codex and remained silent.

Darkrai withdrew the power of nightmares and awakened the Behemoths, who were not yet completely destroyed by nightmares.

When King Behemoth opened his eyes again, he heard Lacia convey Ian's will in a stiff tone.

King Behemoth glanced at the Resonance Codex in the sky and understood that it was the Resonance Codex that had saved their lives.

Even if they still have to go to the battlefield to atone for their offense against the Church of Dawn, it is unknown how many of them will survive.

But at least now I don't have to die.

This time, they dared not be arrogant and immediately accepted the order to set off.

Lacia didn't plan to stay any longer and let Darkrai take the Resonance Codex with her when she left.

The Golden Forest is now only filled with the behemoths, lost and bewildered, and their countless corpses.

Once Lacia's figure had completely disappeared, the Behemoth elder, suppressing his grief and fear, walked to the Behemoth King's side.

"Your Majesty... what should we do?"

King Behemoth remained silent for a long time, then said dejectedly:
"Let's go to war... This is our only chance."

No one understands the idiom "regret is the best policy" better than King Behemoth.
