Chapter 546: The Emperor's Sorrow
And turn the time back half a minute.

In the melee above the palace.

Even with the joining of the Red Dragon King Strahza.

Even with the joining of Walkermas, the top Dawn Wizard.

However, many powerful men on the empire's side were still defeated under the pressure of the seven incarnations of the gods. At this moment, the battle line had been pushed to the surface of the palace, and the gods once again gained the upper hand.

However, suddenly, everyone present looked up at the dazzling white light and mushroom cloud in the sky!
"That is."

"That guy Rune is really unreliable." Said Hela, the goddess of the Underworld, with her beautiful eyes narrowed.

She could no longer sense Rune's presence.

Obviously, the opponent should have died in that attack just now.

However, that blasphemer is becoming more and more difficult to deal with. How could he actually have the ability to launch an attack of this level?

"This level of power is already the energy fluctuation of the demigod level!" said Greg, the evil god wearing golden armor and possessing multiple arms, with surprise flashing in his eyes.

He naturally also felt the disappearance of the aura of Rune, the god of hunting.

Even the Devouring Serpent and the Red Dragon King, who were engaged in a fierce melee, stopped fighting and looked up at the distant sky.

A look of deep doubt and surprise flashed across the huge vertical pupils of the Red Dragon King Strahza.

As the king of red dragons, Strahza naturally knew the familiar mystical energy fluctuations best.

But this level of power?
It's too amazing!
The three pale faces on the neck of the Devouring Snake also showed solemn expressions, because the huge explosion of energy level just now had already made it feel deeply threatened.

The Sword Saint Lambert, who had just flown back, felt the amazing explosion in the sky and couldn't help but ask Menia beside him:
"Your Highness Menia, His Majesty Ryan should have won the explosion just now, right?"

"I think so." Menia showed a trace of worry on her pretty face.

Because the explosion just now was too strong, so strong that even she had no confidence whether Ryan could survive the explosion.

But she was currently commanding the ground battle and could not go to check on Ryan's situation.

Inside the Ryan Mansion.

Lagre and Claire are not ordinary people, so they are naturally not afraid of the alienated power of the gods. Therefore, they have been paying attention to Ryan's movements.

When they saw Ryan and Rune, the god of hunting, fighting fiercely in the sky, their hearts were gripped and their chests fluctuated violently with the changes in the battle situation.

The barbarian girl, Lagre, tightly grasped the huge shield and battle axe in her hands, tightening and loosening them.

"Claire, we are far inferior to Ryan in strength."

"It would be great if we could help him."

Lagre really wanted to rush out to help, but she knew better than anyone that Ryan was facing a level of battle where she couldn't get involved at all, let alone help.

If we rush forward, it will only distract Ryan and will not help the battle situation at all.

"Lagre, you shouldn't think like that. Ryan's progress is really too fast." Claire comforted him.

As a witness to Ryan's rapid growth, she knew very well how fast Ryan's strength was improving.

It's normal that they can't catch up.

In fact, it wasn't just them. With Claire's extensive knowledge of the Imperial Royal Academy, she had never seen anyone who could match Ryan's progress.

"We can help him with other things, just like what Jennifer is doing now."

In the sky.

Without any hesitation, Ryan grasped the fragment of the godhead.

Instantly, the system prompt sounded:
[Ding! Detected divine fragments that can improve the quality of spiritual power, yes/no to accelerate absorption? (Note: System absorption can eliminate impurities and can be absorbed all at once.)]

In response, Ryan immediately chose "Yes!"

In an instant, he felt an evil and powerful energy coming from the fragments of the godhead, and the whispers and vicious curses of Rune, the god of hunting, rang in his ears, as if to distort his spirit and assimilate his will.

Logically speaking, the remaining fragments of the gods' divinity are definitely not something that mortals can covet.

Only after humans have at least reached the level of full moon wizards or demigods will they be able to deal with the fragments of the divinity before them.

However, this problem does not exist for Ryan.

Because when the system intervenes, all these obstacles disappear.

The fragments of the godhood of Rune, the god of hunting, were purified by the system, and all the remaining will of God was wiped out. The remaining pure energy flowed up from Ryan's arm and rushed straight to his brain.

At this moment, the spiritual particle in Ryan's mind also began to grow rapidly!
A few seconds later, after absorbing the energy, Ryan checked the attribute panel:
Spirit: 314 (Qualitative 100%)

"Hiss~ It's full!" Ryan's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.

At this moment, the hard battle and injuries he had just experienced did not affect the happy smile on Ryan's face.

"Doesn't that mean that as long as I master the fifth level of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method, I can directly enter the Full Moon Wizard level!"

The effect of the fifth level of the Heart of Steel Advanced Meditation Method is to form a 'heart of steel' in the spiritual sea. In a sense, this has begun to transcend the scope of human beings and can be regarded as a partial concrete manifestation of the low-level godhead.

But if one fails to form a 'heart of steel', like Ryan at this moment, even if the qualitative process of mental power has reached perfection, he cannot be promoted.

Suddenly, the unusually surging energy impact from the palace in the distance interrupted Ryan's thoughts.

"Huh? What is that?" Ryan couldn't help but turn his head to look.

Ryan could feel a majestic aura rising in the palace. This aura was full of majesty and bearing, but it was somewhat different from the majesty of gods.

"Has your majesty's promotion reached a critical moment?"

Above the palace.

The feelings of several gods are naturally stronger and clearer.

"We have to speed up."

“Hela, let’s ignore that human for now. Our goal this time is to prevent the emergence of another demigod-level warrior.”

"Well, no matter how strong that human is, it will take some time for him to be promoted to demigod. By that time, we will have been able to descend to the demigod level incarnation, and he will not pose a threat."

Hela, the goddess of the underworld, wanted to make a rebuttal.

But when she thought about how she had fought the blasphemer three times and failed to defeat him, for the sake of her face, Hela stopped talking and nodded, agreeing with the opinions of the other gods.

"Then let's do it together!"

"Sword of Judgment!"

The evil god Greg, who had many arms, roared and stabbed the two-handed sword in his main hand heavily into the ground of the palace.

In an instant, hundreds and thousands of arms repeated his action and stabbed the sword down!
As dazzling blood-red ripples flashed by, the ground, pillars, and other parts of the palace that were originally carved with a large number of complex defensive magic arrays began to shatter bit by bit.

For a moment, it seemed as if the palace had experienced a magnitude 10 earthquake and began to crack and collapse all over.

"Black Water Ghost!"

Hela, the goddess of the underworld, also raised her white hand, and followed by the appearance of dense black water whirlpools in mid-air. In each whirlpool there was an ancient ghost with a painful face.

"go with!"

With a wave of her hand, hundreds of black water whirlpools rushed straight down to the broken ground, and then a series of violent explosions sounded!
And other incarnations of gods also took action!
In an instant, the entire central area of ​​the palace was completely destroyed!

"No! Stop them quickly!" Elder Ivan shouted with his eyes wide open.

"The other party's target is His Majesty the Emperor."

"Protect His Majesty!" Faced with the joint outbreak of several gods, the guardians of the empire immediately launched a counterattack and tried to contain the opponent, but it was too late.

At this moment, a strong breath rushed up from below the ground.

The strength of this aura is in no way inferior to that of the incarnations of gods before him.

A tall figure radiating golden light slowly rose from the ground.

It is the human emperor, Carlos II!

While in mid-air, Ryan, whose body was healing rapidly, saw for the first time the supreme ruler of the Dragun Empire, Carlos II.

The other party was wearing a golden long robe, a crown on his head, a majestic face, and a golden scepter in his hand. There were also many five-colored dragons of the extremely old dragon level hovering around him.

"Your Majesty has succeeded in detecting this aura!" an imperial guardian exclaimed.

"That's right! Your Majesty has finally entered the demigod level!"

"Great!"

"Did it succeed?" This thought also arose in Ryan's mind.

At this time, Carlos II suddenly raised his eyes to look at the gods around him and said:

"It seems that the legend is true. You are worried that a demigod-level strongman will appear among humans and master the artifact."

“So, even if it means consuming a large amount of divine power, you must descend into the incarnation to stop my promotion.”

Hearing this, Ryan's face froze.

"Artifact?"

Although Carlos II was vague, he revealed something.

For example, this artifact whose name is unknown should have the power to restrain these gods.

Otherwise, the gods would not need to waste their divine power on thankless tasks.

"Son of Dragun, even if you are the emperor among humans, you should not covet that artifact. It is not something you can covet." The evil god Greg said sinisterly.

“Any spying and coveting will bring you and your empire to ruin, just like now.” Hela, the goddess of the underworld, said calmly as she glanced around at the ruins of the imperial palace and the corpses of the seven or eight five-colored dragons.

In the fierce battle that lasted less than ten minutes, the Empire paid an extremely heavy price.

Nearly double-digit numbers of adult dragons were killed in the battle, not including the several fallen Imperial Guardians, hundreds of elite Griffin Knights, and the tens of thousands of Imperial soldiers on the airships.

"Do you still dream of enslaving human beings like in the barbaric ages?" Carlos II said solemnly.

"Since our ancestors were able to seal away all of you foreign evil gods, it is natural that they will be able to do so in this era as well!"

"If all of you avatars were lost here, it would greatly slow down your awakening!"

"Five-colored dragon flame!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Carlos II raised the imperial scepter in his hand. Five extremely old dragons around him, namely the red dragon, green dragon, yellow dragon, blue dragon and black dragon, roared loudly at the same time and breathed towards the sky above the scepter.

"Fire Breath!"

"Acid Breath!"

The five breaths were mixed together by the scepter with some strange energy, forming an extremely huge colorful energy ball. The energy fluctuations of this sphere were so violent that they far exceeded the "Molten Flame" that Ryan had used before.

"go with!"

Faced with this attack, the faces of several gods suddenly became somewhat ugly.

"Everyone, cast the Wall of Sighs!"

Greg, the god of the Limb Reattachment Cult, was the first to raise his arm and transform his extremely condensed divine power into a translucent wall to block in front of him. Several other gods also began to pour their divine power into the translucent wall.

In an instant, the thickness of the wall increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this time, the colorful energy ball also hit the "Wall of Sighs" which was nearly a meter thick.

"boom!!!"

The deafening sound of the explosion resounded throughout the imperial capital of Tamriel, and the palaces surrounding the imperial palace were instantly overloaded with dense and intricate wizardry patterns, but they only lasted for a blink of an eye before being completely destroyed!

As the super-strong shock wave dissipated, the gods were seen to be still unharmed, but the transparent wall was almost invisible.

"The power level of the incarnations of the gods has dropped!" An unknown guardian of the empire shouted.

Although the Wall of Sighs was not completely broken, the imperial guardians present could feel that the gods seemed to have basically exhausted their energy in order to resist the attacks of their own emperor.

"Huh? You?" Suddenly, Hela, the goddess of the underworld, who was looking at Carlos II, showed surprise on her face, and then she started laughing.

"I see."

"Human Emperor, it seems that this time, you are the loser. We win!"

After saying this, the incarnation of Hela, the goddess of the underworld, disappeared into the air on her own initiative.

She actually took the initiative to disperse her divine power.

This has one advantage, which is that after that small part of the divine will dissipates, it will gradually return to the main body, and it will not be like the previous hunting god Rune, where that small part of the divine will was directly wiped out by the system.

After hearing what Hela said, the other gods seemed to understand something. After looking at Carlos II again and again, they all smiled slightly and disappeared into the air.

Naturally, this scene made the people in the surrounding empire feel a little confused.

"Ah~"

At this moment, a heavy sigh came from the mouth of this majestic-looking human emperor.

At the same time, all the imperial guardians present, even Ryan who was far away in the air on one side, could feel that Carlos II's breath was rapidly falling.

From almost being a demigod, he plummeted to the peak and late stages of epic.
"His Majesty!"

Elder Ivan seemed to understand something, tears streaming down his face, and he stepped forward, but the next moment, he froze in place, with his outstretched hands frozen in mid-air.

The imperial scepter in Carlos II's hand began to break. No, to be more precise, it was weathering. The imperial scepter, which seemed to be made of pure gold, began to weather inch by inch and turned into powder.
Seeing this scene, Ryan was distracted for a moment!

He was impressed by the imperial scepter.

At that time, he was still serving in the Sword Bearers branch of the Münster Province. During several missions, he used this replica of the imperial scepter to defeat many enemies.

But now, the real imperial scepter collapsed before his eyes.
However, it's not just the scepter.

So did Carlos II.
As the imperial scepter disintegrated, Carlos II's arms and torso followed, and finally, only a translucent figure was left of the whole person, still standing, and had not completely disappeared.

"So, the promotion just now was still a failure?"

A thought instantly popped up in Ryan's mind.

Just now he had thought that Carlos II had successfully been promoted to demigod, which was why he defeated all the incarnations of gods in one fell swoop.

But I didn't expect that the other party had to overdraw himself to achieve this.

The same thought also emerged in the minds of everyone present.

"No!!! Father actually failed!"

The second prince Everton's eyes were wide open, and his face was pale.

"It's over, the Dragun Empire is over!" he murmured.
