Chapter 688 The intertwining of fates

Luo Jun swung the hammer with one hand and held Dampes' head with the other hand, and soon caught up with the escaping energy.

From a distance, it looked like a ball of fire. Although powerful energy was still pulsating on its surface, it did not look as dazzling as before. Instead, its color was somewhat dull, similar to metal that had been burned red and then half cooled. Its color was very similar to the sky color of Hell and was difficult to distinguish.

But unfortunately, the opponent chasing him didn't just rely on his eyes to find the enemy!
Luo Jun accelerated and chased after him. He seemed to realize that danger was approaching. Frame's core changed direction urgently, turned in the air, and fled in another direction. Luo Jun also hurriedly followed with his hammer. The two chased each other in the sky above [Hell], constantly changing directions. Finally, in the end, Luo Jun caught up with him and hit the fireball with his hammer!
With a bang, there was an obvious resistance from the hammer handle. There seemed to be a hard core inside the fireball, which was extremely strong. It was not destroyed by the hammer, but was smashed downwards and hit the ground with a loud bang.

Luo Jun swooped down and found the core that was still twitching and trembling in the big pit on the ground. He put away the hammer and grabbed it in his hand.

The flames on the surface of this thing have dissipated, and the inside is about the size of an apple, with wrinkles all over the surface, like a large walnut, but the touch is not just hard, but also has a rubber-like toughness. When caught in the hand, this little thing struggled harder, but unfortunately, it could not escape Luo Jun's iron fist.

Luo Jun could feel that there seemed to be some residual Mad King consciousness in this core, but only the instinct to escape was left. If given enough time to recover, he should be able to turn back into a complete Mad King.

In that case, I’ll take your life while you’re sick!

Luo Jun glared and released the strongest mental shock, completely erasing the remaining consciousness!

The core trembled violently for a moment, and then became quiet, leaving only a regular and weak pulsation.

"What is this?" Luo Jun asked, holding up Dampes in his left hand.

The Lord of Time and Space, who was already seriously injured, was on the verge of death after the battle between Luo Jun and Frem. He coughed, took a look, and replied weakly: "It's Frem's magic core..."

"Magic core?" Luo Jun raised his eyebrows: "Do you have one too?"

In order to prevent Dampes from teleporting away, Luo Jun kept his hand on his spine and never let go even when the battle was the most intense. It seemed that there was no such thing as a magic core in the body of this time and space demon king.

"That's unique to Frame..." Dampes said, "His body and soul are extremely unstable. If left alone, he would probably be destroyed by his own madness. It was the furious demon lord Angrimar who helped him stabilize his life core. This thing contains most of Frame's life energy. It is a powerful tonic for the demon lord, but you tender-skinned races may not be able to bear it..."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Jun put the magic core in front of his nose and sniffed it. A wisp of demonic energy with a violent breath was absorbed by him, and after purification, it replenished some of his vitality.

"It is indeed a good thing." Luo Jun smiled slightly: "But it seems a bit wasteful to use it only to replenish vitality."

"You can actually absorb it?" Dampes widened his eyes. This masked human could refresh his cognition every time.

Luo Jun looked at the magic core in his hand. It was a bit cumbersome to hold it like this. After thinking about it, he put the magic core in his mouth, took out the Wanjun Hammer, and flew back to the Demon Palace.

At this moment, the Demon Palace was in chaos, half of it collapsed, and everywhere were screaming demons fleeing. Seeing his men in such a miserable state, Dampes closed his eyes with some pain.

As for Luo Jun, he followed his memory and came to the previous prison area. Coincidentally, the demon lord in charge of guarding was really there, but his body had exploded into pieces.

Luo Jun searched around and successfully found the scattered smart equipment bags. He stuffed the magic core into them and put them into the treasure box.

"The cell door where the explorers were held was blown apart..." Luo Jun saw the empty cell and the shackles scattered on the ground. "It looks like they must have escaped. They were lucky."

As he spoke, Luo Jun looked at the Dampes in his hand and said, "Now, it's time for you to fulfill your promise."

“I know…” Dampes coughed, “I’ll take you to where Yuan Shouzhen is… but you have to cooperate. In my current state, my teleportation ability is not very stable. If you mess up, it will probably fail.”

"Stop talking nonsense and move faster!" Luo Jun slightly increased the strength in his hands. Dampes' spine cracked and he groaned in pain. He gritted his teeth and began to activate his ability.

I saw a strong wave surging with the Space-Time Demon King as the center, instantly expanding to an area of ​​hundreds of meters in radius, and then causing a strong distortion of space!

Just as Dampes said, although he can exert his abilities now, they are extremely unstable. In order to take Luo Jun with him, he simply opened a huge space-time vortex, directly opening a huge passage to the destination.

To be on the safe side, Luo Jun rolled the dice in his mind, and after making sure that there was no problem, he picked up Dampes and stepped into the vortex.

…………

"Are we going to die here..."

At this moment, in the ordinary prison area on the upper level, a group of soldiers from the [Empire] were already dying.

They were the first group of prisoners that Luo Jun encountered when he arrived here a few days ago. With their physical conditions, they would definitely not have survived until now, but with the food provided by Luo Jun's lunch box, they supplemented a lot of nutrition and managed to survive.

When Luo Jun left before, he helped them destroy the prison door, but these days, they have not found any chance to escape, and the damage to the prison door was discovered and repaired by the jailer.

After these few days of consumption, more than half of them died, and the remaining few have reached their limit.

"It seems we are destined to die here..." Silver-eyed Gloria slumped in the corner, glanced outside the door, and said weakly: "The demons outside are all running for their lives... The entire Demon Palace has been severely damaged..."

"If the cell door can be opened, we might be able to escape in the chaos." The black-haired knight shook his head.

"There's no point in running away..." said a burly bald man, "In our current state, we'll probably collapse if we can't escape the Demon Palace... What's more, we don't even know there's a space-time turbulence leading to the human world..."

"Don't be discouraged!" Team leader Matt encouraged, "As long as we are still alive, there is hope... Let's pray together. The great goddess will not abandon us!"

Inspired by him, everyone cheered up and began to pray to the gods they believed in.

"Great Goddess of Glory, please listen to our prayers and save your people from suffering and from this horrible hell..."

As they prayed, the cell actually began to tremble slightly! "Could it be that the prayers worked?" Gloria asked in surprise, "Did the Goddess of Glory hear our wishes?"

Afterwards, the vibration became more and more obvious, and turned into a distortion of space. Suddenly, a strong space-time turbulence surged up from the floor of the cell, disturbing the surrounding space-time and causing the entire cell to begin to distort!
“What is this?! What’s going on! Aaaaaaaah…”

Before they could figure out the situation, they were sucked into the distorted time and space!
When everyone woke up, they found themselves in a valley. The unbearable high temperature with a smell of sulfur was no longer there, replaced by a cool breeze with the fragrance of soil that caressed their dry skin.

"This is..." Gloria frowned, and when she saw a half-collapsed fortress in the distance, her eyes suddenly lit up and she shouted excitedly, "That's Green Valley Fortress. We are back to the human world!"

"Goddess of Glory!" Several people knelt on the ground, "Did you finally hear our prayers... Thank you for the blessing of the goddess!"

But just as they were giving thanks, they heard a roar from behind them. When they turned around, they saw a huge spiked demon coming out from the bushes!
The Spiked Demon is six meters tall and weighs four tons. As its name suggests, there are two rows of sharp barbs on its back from top to bottom. It holds a huge mace in its hands and can spit out highly corrosive acid from its mouth. It is an extremely threatening fifth-level demon!
But this Spike Demon is different. It is larger than the ordinary Spike Demon, and the number of barbs on its back has increased from two rows to three rows. It is obviously a mutated advanced version, and it is probably already at the sixth level!

A sixth-order demon is far beyond the ability of a few knights to fight against, not to mention that they are still very weak now!

At the critical moment, the leader picked up a thick branch and wrapped his Qi around it: "You guys go quickly, I'll stop it!"

"No, Captain, you will definitely die. Let's run together and go to the fortress for help!" The others advised, but Matt was very determined: "I can still delay for a while. If we run together, no one can escape!"

During the argument, the thorn demon roared and rushed towards them!
At this moment, Gloria's silver eyes flashed and she looked up into the sky.

Then a black shadow flashed and fell from the sky, landing on the thorn demon!

boom! ! !
A loud bang accompanied by a shock wave created a large hole in the ground and billowed smoke and dust.

When the dust settled, everyone saw a masked man slowly walking out, holding a half-crippled humanoid demon in his left hand and a hammer in his right hand.

"This is……"

Because Luo Jun was not wearing a mask when he appeared in front of them last time, the Knights did not recognize him. They were about to step forward to ask him, but Luo Jun had no time to waste time with them. He swung his hammer, flew into the air, and disappeared into the sky.

Several people hurried over and saw that the originally strong Spike Demon had been smashed into a pile of meat paste in the big pit...

…………

"Is this the Glorious Empire?" After a few leaps, Luo Jun stood on a towering cliff, overlooking the dense jungle, valleys, and villages and towns in the distance. He asked the Dampes in his hand: "Why is Yuan Shouzhen here?"

"I brought him here..." Dampes coughed, "Not only him, but Desdonie came too."

"The Devil of Fate?" Luo Jun frowned. "Aren't you trying to get information from Yuan Shouzhen? Why did you bring him here?"

"Yuan Shouzhen is unwilling to answer..." Dampes said, "But not long ago, Desdonie suddenly saw the fluctuation of fate in him. Whether it was the person she wanted to see or the person I wanted to find, their fates were intertwined, and the key to all these intersections pointed to the human world where the Empire of Glory is located. I guess it's the coming of the Day of Advent that blurred the barriers between the human world and hell, and fate began to influence each other. That's why I was able to send people here."

"Then why didn't you come?" Luo Jun continued to ask: "Since the person you want to find is also here, why did you only send these two here?"

"Because Frame came looking for me." Dampes replied, "I couldn't abandon the millions of demons in my hands, so I asked Desdonie to cast the top-level destiny protection on me. I decided to repel Frame and then come to the human world to find them... I didn't expect that you would escape at the critical moment."

"I am now curious about how you did it. I suddenly felt that countless creatures appeared in the sub-world, and the load that the world could bear was instantly exceeded..."

"I have my own way." Luo Jun snorted coldly. The two or three hundred million creatures he summoned were nowhere to be found after returning to [Hell]. Luo Jun guessed that they either died and disappeared in the turbulence of time and space, or were randomly teleported to other places. But they were all a group of weak creatures, so they were lost.

"So do you know where they are now?" Luo Jun asked.

Dampes' eyes rolled. "I left a mark on Desdonie so she can be teleported over, but she is too weak now. The energy consumption of teleportation just now was too high. Now she can't cast a spell at all."

As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Jun and said, "If you can give me some power from Fram's magic core and restore some of my mana, it should be enough for me to teleport you to Desdonie."

"Oh?" Luo Jun raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure that you can't use any abilities now?"

"Indeed..." Dampes coughed, "You have been holding my spine the whole time. You should know best how much strength I have left."

Dampes was not lying. After the teleportation just now, he had indeed exhausted his strength and could hardly support him to use long-distance teleportation again. But as long as he absorbed Fram's magic core, he would be able to recover his strength at the fastest speed. At that time, he might even be able to break free from Luo Jun's control!

Although Luo Jun could withstand the demonic energy in the magic core, he was still a human being after all, and his compatibility with the magic core was very low. If it were Dampes, facing the irresistible magic core, the rate of absorption would definitely exceed Luo Jun's imagination.

"It seems you didn't lie." Luo Jun, who had just rolled the dice in his mind, laughed and took out the smart equipment bag, from which he took out Frem's magic core.

When he saw this treasure, a greedy look appeared in Dampes' eyes.

But Luo Jun did not send the magic core to him, but smiled: "In this case, you don't have the energy to escape, right?"

Dampes was slightly stunned: "What do you mean?"

Luo Jun chuckled, stuffed Dampes into the smart equipment bag, and then took out the teleportation staff.

"Target teleport, target Yuan Shouzhen, activate!"

About two seconds later, a halo of chanting light began to light up on Luo Jun's body.
