Chapter 644: The Demon King, the Goddess, the Priest, and the Emperor, the War Between the Protagonists Begins

The words are divided into two parts.

Maljie and his companions walked towards the place called "Shrine".

This is a large forest, filled with many ferocious beasts and monsters from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.

“It’s just a testing ground.”

Brump drove to avoid the beast's gaze.

"I have a feeling that the Shrine area is a place that has collected the lives of a large number of experimental subjects. They should represent the power that was able to tear the world apart in the past, but are now imprisoned here."

"Not necessarily." Dumbledore said as he sat in the back of the car, "I feel like those guys' wills are actually protecting something."

Protect?

Brump and the others felt very strange.

Only Maljie stared out the window silently. The dense forest was fading away, and there was a hollow area in front. God knew what would appear.

He was using the signals in his electronic brain to connect to Cha Bai's live broadcast.

Saw the fight between Li Nuo and Xiao Wu.

It was a meaningless internal fight in Maljie's eyes, but he believed that Li Nuo had his own intentions.

In fact... Li Nuo also felt that it was meaningless. He fought with Xiao Wu only for two purposes:
1. Can Xiao Wu’s strength be regarded as the main force?

Second, the person behind Xiao Wu has a purpose, no matter what the purpose is, he is willing to cooperate.

Li Nuo kept all this in his mind and didn't tell anyone else because there was no need.

In short, just attract the attention and create time for Maljie and his group to enter the [Shrine]. The [Shrine] is a key area mentioned in the main line and is very important.

I don't know how long the car drove.

On the way, Brum and Die switched places.

He received news from the "Sky Corridor" that their chairman "Northern Mayisili" was ready to take action, but he was unable to enter this scenario. In addition, the time was chaotic, so he needed a station that could directly connect to this era.

Although Nanami is doing this, the key is in the hands of Wenk and his group, so they can only say that they cannot regard Yisli and the others as rescue.

A coin appears in Brum's panel.

【Withdraw Coin】

One of the specialties of the "Sky Corridor".

The effect is to force exit the script. The props that cannot be purchased with currency are exchanged by Yisili using his own authority.

[As long as you crush it, you can leave the script for free, and you can absorb all the rewards in this script]

Brump looked at everyone in the car.

There was still Chen Shou who had not been rescued.

He passed up the opportunity.

[I need a prop that can enhance my power. Can you make an exception and give it to me?]

The car jolted.

【can】

The one in contact with him was the Sky Knights, the largest armed player group under the Northern Horse.

An organization that is definitely more powerful than the "Twelve Devils of Tianlou" and is the trump card of "Sora" that can rival the top guilds in any corridor.

If they came, many problems could be solved easily.

Even though Brupu thought so, he still chose to trust Li Nuo and the others more.

[Magic of Thunder Dragon]

Brum was a little surprised by what was sent to him. This thing was very valuable.

[As a thank you to those people from Endless for saving you again, but only you can use it, protect them well]

Brump nodded secretly.

He was determined to protect Li Nuo and the others even at the cost of his own life.

His self-admiration seemed to be a psychological activity, but in fact, everyone in the car was secretly looking at him.

"What is this guy fantasizing about?" Dumbledore asked Cairo.

"I don't know...I don't think he's masturbating, is he?" Cairo asked Maljie.

"Huh?" Maljie asked Die.

"I'm driving, don't talk to me!" Die changed the subject.

The journey seemed long, but soon we arrived at an area where the view was suddenly clear.

Once you enter the center of the [Shrine] area, the sky will turn dark.

Die slowed down the pedaling and the car slowly moved on the grass.

The scenery here is unique. The elves bloom among the fireflies, spread their beautiful transparent wings and dance gracefully.

The grey glowing grass swayed in the wind, and the ancient trees covered with grey leaves and vines emitted a faint light, revealing the true form of tree spirits. In the distance, on a giant mechanical creation in the night, a young girl revealed a hint of sadness.

The girl was tied to the machine, her head lowered. Her body was unable to move. She slowly raised her head and looked at the car approaching in the distance. Her blindfolded eyes read familiar memories.

"Finally here."

[Side quest updated: Shrine]

[Task Difficulty: lv190]

[Quest Reward: Certain Things of God]

[Mission details: Jialilu's research institute is heavily guarded, and it is extremely difficult to enter, but as long as you reach the end of the maze, it will be worth the trip.]

[Mission Update: The goddess is imprisoned here. Any creature not recognized by her will fall into a deadly trap. All life in this place will launch a death charge against you. You will have a narrow escape and there is no possibility of escape. You can only kill all the monsters in the "shrine", but even if you gather the armed forces of a country, it will be difficult to do so...]

The car stopped next to a big tree.

Maljie got out of the car and saw the goddess through the leaves of the dense forest.

"Here I come~"

Mulan smiled.

[Side quest completed: Shrine]

[Task Difficulty: lv190]

[Quest Reward: Certain Things of God (Dialogue with the goddess named "Original Fire Keeper")]

Mulan was trapped in a mechanical object made of steel.

Her hands were pinched by huge mechanical arms, her ankles were pierced by steel bars, her collarbone was pierced, and her whole body was covered with talismans with the inscription "Emperor". Except for her mouth, the rest of her body could not move at all.

"Um... don't come close, it's dangerous. Listen to me first, I was captured by humans...!"

"What is "Balance of God"..." Malger couldn't help but complain, and shouted: "What do you want us to do now!"

Since they were at least a hundred meters apart, their conversation was done in shouting, which at first sounded like two people swearing before a fight.

"Now is not the time to reminisce." Mulan held his breath, then said in one breath: "More than a hundred years ago, someone pulled my hair and stuffed me into a machine, and then I was imprisoned here. About fifty years ago, the monster named Jialilu conquered this place, and then I... I didn't have time to run... I was caught again."

Die was stunned: "No, sister, you are a goddess, give me some face!"

Mulan: "Ms. Die! By the way, five hundred years ago I opened your ○○ restaurant in a ..."

"Didn't you say you don't want to reminisce about the past?" It was Bloom who shouted.

"Mr. Brump... I'm sorry... You know, I was very poor when I was a child, and all these years..." Mulan said a little aggrievedly, "I really have no one to talk to all these years. I just chat with the machine that trapped me all day long. A year ago, its AI program thought I was too annoying and self-destructed. So I haven't spoken human language for a year. The most I've spoken during this period is bird language. I really want to talk more, so... so where is my brother! I miss him! It's been more than four thousand years! I've been alone for more than four thousand years... I'm going crazy..."

"He...he is fighting with Xiaowu..." said Maljie.

"Xiao Wu..." Mulan extracted his memory: "You mean, luck?"

When Mulan took Xiao Wu on the journey, she named her "Luck". Good medicine tastes bitter, so Xiao Wu, who turned into shit, must be very lucky. That's what she thought.

"Luck...ah no, wasn't Xiao Wu taken away by Mr. Jialilu? I remember he said he would let Xiao Wu find my brother." Mulan said.

Maljie: "You, you should explain everything clearly before talking about other things... Jialilu..."

Mulan's story is not complicated.

She has been traveling around the world in recent years, and while traveling... she started to play... Because of the special nature of her eyes and her innate divinity, she has been chased and captured by the "Emperor's" followers in recent years. This was an order that An Mi gave to this world in the past, so Mulan was imprisoned and her ability to teleport was also offset.

Everything An Mi and his team did could be said to have almost perfectly cut off the possibility of Li Nuo and his team changing the future.

But the birth of Dumbledore and Galileo, two people who were beyond the scholars' expectations, disrupted all plans.

After arriving in this era, Galil formed an army, conquered the barren land in the southern part of the planet, and found the imprisoned god "Mulan".

Over the years, Jialilu has studied things about players.

He had a basic understanding of the panel, power, system, and abilities from another world, so Jialilu's gaze was directed to "Xiao Wu" who was with Mulan.

Mulan said: "I had no choice. I buried Xiao Wu in the soil as fertilizer. Who knew he would really find her..."

God knows what kind of shitty life Xiao Wu has been through.

Maljie: "So later, Jialilu resurrected Xiaowu?"

Mulan: "I don't know about this, but there are indeed things in this world that can revive life based on genes. For example, in the story of "The Great Sword" that you told me, biotechnology has mutated due to the arrival of the Cairo people. It is not a delusion that life rituals that do not require equivalent exchange exist in the world."

Die: "Sister, what have you done these years? I don't know anything about it..."

Mulan: "I ran a ○○ milk tea shop, but it went bankrupt..."

Brump's mouth trembled. Mulan called Li Nuo brother, which was a divine choice. She had lived for thousands of years and was still so young. When thinking of those guys who could be called gods that he had met, Mulan felt... hard to describe. Only Die was sure that under Mulan's absurd appearance, she had an extremely stable concept of doing things.

If the world of "Vaporwave" needs a god, Die really wants to capture Mulan and make her that god, then at least she can promote ○○ cuisine.

Dumbledore: "You said Xiao Wu is still alive, what benefit can you provide! I am her friend! I will kill everyone who treats her badly!"

Mulan: "Well...Is it a benefit to grant you power?"

She is the real protagonist of this world, who has accumulated four thousand years of experience and established an anchor with Li Nuo and others.

"But you have to wait!" Mulan shouted, "First, I want to see my brother. If he's not here, none of you can expect to gain any benefit! Second, you must let Jialilu leave. Whenever he gets close to me now, his army will be dispatched! That guy is just a bit less of a bastard than my brother!"

Listen, if the goddess can say such words, the destruction of the world is reasonable.

Brump: "Galileu seems to be the demon king who looks very similar to Li Nuo. What's wrong with him?"

Dumbledore: "I'll go and take a look...even though it's dangerous..."

Mulan: "He has an independent military zone near the research institute, which is difficult to enter... You must think of a comprehensive method. I have a solution..."

"Humph."

When this sound appears, it symbolizes that all problems have been solved.

"I am not the God of Machinery, nor am I an evil god. If the world wants to give me a title, the most appropriate one is..."

Malj picked a flower from the ground and placed it on the tip of his nose.

"Perhaps, it would be more appropriate to call me 'God of Peeping'."

Die: "Brother Ma, why don't you just say that you are good at such a dirty business as 'peeping'?"

Malger: "Hmph... Anyway! I have sent mechanical lifeforms to integrate into his army."

No one can guess what earth-shattering thing Maljie will do and when, no one.

Before he entered this place, he had already released mechanical life forms on the road, disguised as military personnel. Now the mechanical life forms are gathering in the square, and the cameras in their eyes are transmitting records of the believers to the great mechanical cult leader.

Emil's head at the rear of the van opened its mouth, and projections of mechanical lifeforms shot out of it.

What they saw were countless soldiers standing in neat rows in the square.

The direction they were facing was the building where Jiali Road was located.

Jialilu's voice was slowly coming out from the building.

……

"Speaking of war, you are all people who have been with me all the way, and you should know that I like to see all kinds of life."

"what……"

Jialilu was still sitting in the chair.

There was no one around him except a few guards.

The square was full of soldiers. He had troops in every corner of the world. Fangs were waiting for the Demon King to give the final order.

"I have lived too many lives, walked too many roads, and my personality is like a personality disorder after suffering from encephalitis. I love this neurotic self, and I have loved it since 19,000 years ago. I love the queen who gave me a body even more. What I love is the pride of life, the indulgent thinking, and the unconstrained future."

"Since the world of the dead 19,000 years ago, I have established an empire, I have amended laws, I have created wars, I have created religions, I have been admired by thousands of people, I have been despised by the people, I have built a stage on a small island, injected life into the life of Denise, I have personally seen the glory of those gods in the White City, I have entered the Great Rift Valley and found the secret of the creator of the mechanical man, I have walked a road for tens of millions of years, but I am still thinking... What road am I walking on?"

Galil's mind went back to the day 19,000 years ago when the priest asked the queen to tell him the truth.

"I am walking on a meaningless path, a path as boring as billions of lives!"

"Gentlemen!"

"I love life! I love life!"

"I love everything about me. I like men, I like women, I like the dead, I like the living, I like to study everything, I like to give everything a new lease of life! I like to return everything to its origin! I love the feeling of indulgence that comes with destroying everything even more!"

"I love everything: seas, plains, lakes, mountains, forests, deserts, snow, swamps, cities, and even the Kuaishan Mountains covered with poisonous gas! I like to destroy them, I like to forge them, so I start wars to kill them! In the sky, on the ground, on the ice fields, in the cities, in the sea, everything that can be seen by the naked eye, I will reshape them with my hands! I like to let the people of Cairo crush my body! I like to let sluts stick forks into my eyes! I like the howl of death! I like the elegant voice of the diva! Ah...! Hahahaha, I love them, so I have to protect them..."

"Let the burning flames streak across the grassland wilderness, ignite a fire and burn everything to death. The chariots rushed out of the fire, the villagers fled in fear, and rows of bullets blew them away. The flesh returned to the earth, and all the rebirths were reincarnated here again. They will retaliate against me, they will kill me! I was run over by wheels, I was penetrated by bullets, and my chest was slashed by a knife. What moved me most was that I was still alive, and they still hated me. Hatred! Love! The greatest thing that we, the creatures on the surface of the earth, have!"

Jialilu lowered his head, the corners of his mouth trembling, feeling the scenes that had happened, his mind had fallen into an irreversible frenzy.

"Gentlemen!"

"You heard me, I can be killed and ravaged by others. Even after living for so many years, my body has not changed. I am just a long-lived elf, but I am proud of this body that can be easily torn apart by a Gatling gun. I was once chased by a little boy with a knife and ran away in the streets. It felt great!"

"We can fight against life. This is our birthright. We are all crazy. We will do whatever it takes to achieve our will and win. We have humanity, warmth, and malice, but we cannot fight against monsters."

The big screen showed the battle between Li Nuo and Xiao Wu.

Magical flames collided with arrows that tore through steel bars. A force that did not belong to any ordinary creature roared and destroyed the city.

Jialilu raised his head, stood up, and walked to the balcony. He did not look at the picture on the screen, but looked at his soldiers.

"So, what are they?"

Every soldier watched this scene through the network transmission of the electronic brain.

"And what is this emperor that is believed in?"

"What is the real life form that created the mechanical creatures?"

"They are not life, they do not belong to this world, and they are not gods. They have perceptions and emotions, but they control the lifeblood of the world, they determine the direction of the future, and they block the world's roads."

"I know a woman. She is the most noble woman I have ever seen in my life. I love her madly. I want to tear the temple where she is to pieces, bite her throat with my teeth, and tell her with blood that this is the unique romance I give to you! But her fate is pinched in a book! It is those high and mighty beings who think they have mastered the law and thus control the free will!"

"The people in this world have always been people. The gods who came to this world were once people too. They are still people after all. They are called players. I feel sick of their arrogance. They are a group of cowards who take advantage of something called 'system'."

"Everyone..."

"Gentlemen, I like war! Gentlemen, I like war very much! Gentlemen, I like war the most! I long for war, a war like hell. Comrades who follow my brigade, what do you long for? Do you also long for war? Do you also long for a cold and ruthless war? You also long for an extreme war that transcends iron blood, cold wind, thunder and flames! Kill all the gods of the three thousand worlds, a war like a storm!"

"Our destiny should be in our own hands."

“We should build the stage ourselves.”

"Death should be our own choice."

"War... War, war! War!! Very good! In that case, let's create an unprecedented battle, aim our shells at those gods, and create a huge war together... until we achieve our goal..."

"Gentlemen, please take me to hell!"

The soldiers did not cheer or shout, but silently expressed their pride and determination to follow the enemy to the death with their raised chins.

War is coming, or rather, it has already come.

Less than half a minute after Jialilu finished his speech, two cities in the north were attacked and fires spread. No one knew what Jialilu's real purpose was. He was a madman. Since he was a madman, he might just destroy everything for a trivial reason, or he might be constructing a ladder for a huge ideal.

But no matter what the reason.

This bastard was creating killing and death. The symphony-like picture scroll of hell kept repeating over and over again in his mind.

"Let's go and unlock the final seal."

……

[Side quest has been triggered: Demon King]

[Mission Difficulty: lv? ? ? (May have exceeded the upper limit and cannot be completed)]

[Quest Reward: Galileo's Gift, Things Related to Bahamut]

[Task details: Let him willingly hand over his future to you]

……

[Don't believe in Galil's speech. This dangerous creature created by the Elf Queen has inherited the character of the "Major" in "The Royal Anglican Knights" and also carries the cold-blooded cruelty of a large number of "villains" in the void. His goal is not against individuals or the world. He has no interest in conquering the world. His target is all players.]

[He will kill any player. He can sacrifice the whole world to kill them. He is the devil of chaos and a monster called a creature.]

[Galilu's obsession is that "controlled lives should not be in the hands of gods." He just doesn't like the players. After seeing the obsession reach a terrifying level, he decided to create a stage for the players.]

[The instigator may be your player "5900", or it may be the world itself, or it may be related to "scholars", but none of this matters.]

[Because none of you can guess Jialilu’s real goal, and it has nothing to do with you]

[But you have to face a choice. He wants to kill a lot of lives to achieve his goal. Once the goal is achieved, the "Emperor" from White City will come with his "Twelve Devils of Tianlou". You can avoid him or rush to the battlefield. Before that, you can also kill him. It is better to let this "Demon King" admit that you are the only anchor who can change the world.]

……

Malger looked at the panel and his first reaction was: "It would be easy if it was Griffith, but it happened to be that major..."

He noticed that the reward included "Bahamut".

Li Nuo was contacted immediately.

"Li Nuo, this is the monster you created. Did you see it?"

Common to all side quest teams.

"Me, me, me, me! I'm not even looking at shit!"

He thought Li Nuo was being beaten, or trying to avoid being beaten.

But the next second, Li Nuo said in a joking tone: "I'm telling you, you should see... Grass... Haha, hahahaha! Xiao Wu is so funny!"

Xiao Wu just pulled her head off.

Now Xiao Wu was holding her ponytail as a rope and swinging her head towards Li Nuo.

Her own head was swinging like a hot wheel and she was speaking incoherently through gritted teeth.

Translated, it means: "I remember you saw me naked! And more than once, go to hell!"

When Xiao Wu threw her head out, the sky was ablaze with the color of artillery fire, the clouds were pierced, and fire burned in. Jialilu's army appeared in a teleporting phalanx and showed its sharpest and cruelest fangs to this most important city.
