Throne of the North.

Chapter 374: The Effect of the Sacrifice Calling upon the Dusk Divinity
Ryan was speechless, and the huge team traveled through the mountains and forests and came to the intersection. They looked at the huge frozen land in front of them and the prosperous town in it.

The Earl also quieted down, watching the bustling hustle and bustle of the town around Rhino Horn Mountain below.

He didn't say anything, but the shock of Kaz next to him seemed to represent the count's emotions.

"The last time I came to your territory, there were only two to three thousand people. Where did you get so many people?"

If a territory wants to develop, population is inevitable, but population cannot fall from the sky. Even the wisest lord must be down-to-earth in this matter.

“I have a world.”

Ryan said this, making Kaz feel a little sour.

At the foot of Rhino Horn Mountain, Ryan stood respectfully in front of the carriage. Aatrox, who was driving the carriage, glanced at his younger brother. He was not young, and his children were only five or six years younger than Ryan. Aatrox had only met this younger brother a few times.

Ryan didn't know that the knight in front of him was his elder brother, but he thought it was not easy for someone to drive for his mother. In short, the emotions were right.

"Mother."

Ryan took the two countesses out of the carriage and then saluted Viscountess Melendez.

"Mother."

"You kid."

Viscountess Melendez had been in a state of panic before. The jewel box in the carriage made her feel awe and fear. When she heard Ryan's call, she finally felt relieved and smiled happily.

"Go ahead, Avril is right behind."

Ryan nodded and walked towards a carriage behind. Viscount Melendez was waiting there on horseback and nodded to Ryan.

Ryan was a little surprised. He didn't have any feelings about this Viscount before, but today the other party was well-dressed and brought him a lot of pressure. Is this a... warlock?
I thought of what Lord Clayton had said before.

Now, every noble in the empire, one by one, is the blood of the blasphemer.

"Lord Viscount."

Viscount Melendez dismounted with a smile and stood next to Earl Clayton in the distance. Ryan finally took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the carriage.

"Avril?"

"what?"

There was a somewhat panicked response from inside. Ryan smiled, pushed the door open, walked in, and walked out holding the girl's hand.

Stepping on the steps of the carriage, the two looked at the white and golden world around them.

At this moment, the three thousand knights and attendants surrounding them knelt down on one knee, and hundreds of thousands of people from the Frozen Territory knelt on the ground, in awe of the arrival of their master.

"Ryan!!!"

Butler Beard's face turned red, he raised his hand and clenched his fist and shouted loudly.

"Ryan!!!"

Everyone was calling out, and the roar that resounded through the sky tore through the coldness of the north, bringing with it burning joy.

The Frozen Territory was in an uproar. Today, the Frozen Territory welcomed its mistress. At this moment, the territory seemed complete.

Is this how aristocratic marriages work? Obviously not, but Ryan didn't bother to care about the rules of the nobility and walked towards the castle on the mountain with Avril.

"From now on, this will be our home."

The air on Rhino Horn Mountain was very cold, but the two felt the sky was extremely warm.

The entire frozen land area became even busier.

Butler Beard arranged for a large number of servants to carry the message from the Ryan family to the North Wind Province and the two kingdoms in the east to inform them of the feast in the Frozen Territory.

The marriage will take a few days to complete. Ryan led a group of people to a mountain in the north and entered a cave. He fixed the door to the plane here. Although many people knew that he could open the door to the plane, Ryan was still unwilling to show it easily.

"They are all different from the plane portals that Clayton discovered."

Standing next to the Earl, the ordinary Aatrox commented, he walked in and then walked out.

"At no—cost."

Lord Clayton was also surprised at this moment, and looked at Ryan with a scrutinizing look.

Ryan didn't respond, looking like he didn't understand.

In the sky, an amber dragon descended from the sky. It returned from the north with serious injuries on its body, but the golden flames in its eyes burned even more.

While Ryan was still wondering how it would pass through this dimensional door that was less than three meters high, the Amber Dragon merged into the shadow under Earl Clayton's feet.

"Let's go."

……

Wolfskin Ulf was a little impatient because the half-month deadline Ryan had given him had already passed.

He still had no answer, and Ryan didn't give him an answer that would save him from having to make a choice.

"Damn it, I am a believer in the great gods..."

As soon as Ulf finished speaking, the sky darkened. During this period, the people of Gam in the entire city of Skala were very confused. They were afraid of the punishment of the gods, and they were terrified and almost lost themselves.

The roar of the dragon made all hearts stop. All eyes were on the dragon hovering in the sky. The fear deep in their souls made their bodies tremble. This was the deterrence brought by the creature at the top of the food chain.

"Don't mess up!"

Ryan's voice fell, allowing the people of Gam to recognize his voice, and then they saw Ryan jump off the dragon's back and hit the edge of the ruins of the arena.

"There is a gold mine underneath. The gods are planting soul crystals in it. They are influencing the people of this world in this way."

Ryan explained, and Lord Clayton looked at Aatrox beside him.

The latter took out the gem box, opened the dragon skin package, and the gem box emitted colorful light.

"The origin of divinity, yes, this god is still alive."

Ryan looked at Aatrox, who took off his helmet, revealing black hair and slightly red pupils, which made Ryan realize that he was also a descendant of the Clayton family. However, Ryan looked around...

Apart from some people from his own Frozen Territory, Viscount Melendez was the only outsider.

"The warlock bloodline of the Melendez family allows us to see His existence directly. It is a very useful power."

Lord Clayton tells Ryan that Melendez is essentially tied to their family's chariot.

"Have you found His location?"

Ryan nodded.

"My scouts found traces of His presence in the storm."

"let's go."

When stepping on the dragon's back, Ryan lowered his eyes to look at Ulf, who seemed to be thinking about something. Perhaps this was the answer Ryan wanted to give him.

"They...really want to kill God."

Wolfe collapsed to the ground, and at that moment he lost all his strength.

The speed of the dragon was much faster than that of a warhorse. Soon Ryan and his companions saw the ice and snow storm that stretched from the sky to the ground. In the distance, on the snowy plain, there was the camp of Ryan's soldiers.

“They are very courageous.”

Aatrox said, then looked at Ryan.

"Your soldiers, why don't you give me some."

Ryan looked at his brother and shook his head.

"They are loyal to me, and I am loyal to them."

Aatrox said nothing more as he flew towards the ice and snow storm. Ryan's pupils shrank when he saw this scene and he looked at Rose behind him.

"legend."

The latter gave him an affirmative answer, which made Ryan swallow.

The heir of the Clayton family has become a legend.

He looked at Kaz on the other side, who was the count's third son, and the latter gave him a helpless smile.

"I am still just a sky knight, and there is still some distance between me and the sanctuary, but... maybe the opportunity lies here."

"Brother, he is a legend. It was a long time ago. He is the most talented person of our generation."

Is the Clayton family so powerful?
Ryan was a little frightened. What he saw now was only the Earl's family. But now, including himself, the weakest one was Lord Norton. However, he also had the strength of a Silver Knight. With the help of Dragon Heart, Norton might become a Sky Knight in the future.

In other words, among Earl Clayton's descendants, there will be no one who cannot fly?

No wonder, no wonder everyone in the empire said that the Earl Clayton family was most likely to become the fifth Grand Duke. The relationship with the emperor was secondary. The strength of the Clayton family itself was so strong that it was a bit scary. They were also earls, and the Earl of Winter and Earl of Solon in the North Wind Province could not keep up with the pace of the Clayton family.

"He didn't stay here on his own initiative."

"This was his battlefield before. Another god trapped him here."

"This storm is the cage that seals Him."

As expected of a professional godslayer, Earl Clayton immediately said something that even powerful transcendents like Rose had not been able to see before.

"Is there a second god in this world?"

Clayton asked, looking at Ryan.

Fenrir's people, wolves and hounds, Ryan nodded. His affirmative answer shocked the legendary dragon knight named "Jun Yan" for the first time.

"What a determined and unyielding spirit."

He used the word "spirit" and no longer addressed the other party as a god.

Lord Clayton said with some admiration:

"Another divine spirit, or more precisely, the spirit of this world, should have used the last of his divine origin, at the cost of eternally sacrificing himself to the Great Ocean of Origin, to launch an attack on the divine spirits inside."

“He knew he was doomed to fail. No matter what the price, he would die. But he still launched the attack and started the final war.”

"The final force turned into an eternal storm, and the ice and snow turned into a cage to seal the gods here."

"If you don't find me, this cage will last forever."

"According to the time, he will be here soon."

Earl Clayton did not take action immediately, but asked Ryan to send someone to the frozen land to pick up people.

Ryan was curious about who it was until he saw the head of the McReynolds family, the king of the Sera Kingdom, appear in his own world.

"Your Majesty, you are here."

"To deal with gods, it is impossible to lack magicians. After all, they are the gods' first challengers."

The legendary magician 'Wind Emperor', the king of the Kingdom of Sera, not only appeared in the empire alone, but also joined forces with the nobles of the empire to kill a god.

Ryan could understand these words, but when they were put together, why did he feel so... twisted?
Shouldn't this person be busy in the Sera Kingdom, getting involved in various political disputes inside and outside the kingdom with those nobles?
"If I can give birth to the demigod realm, any contradictions will disappear."

Grand Duke McReynolds said this, also looking at the ice and snow tornado in the distance.

"What a cruel god."

He also admired the great being that Fenrir's people served.

Then the Wind Emperor looked at Earl Clayton and said:

"I will cut off all of His energy sources, and the violent winds will tear apart His gaze. I guarantee with the legendary gift of the Wind Emperor that all of your souls will not be twisted by the gods."

Lord Clayton nodded.

"Then I will extinguish His origin and let Him face us in a detached manner."

"How do you plan to kill him and finally seize his origin?"

"Someone will help us figure it out."

Aatrox dropped the box containing the colorful gems to the ground, causing the storm in the distance to tremble violently, as if it had sensed the presence of another great being.

"You want to sacrifice to the devil of the abyss?"

The 'Wind Emperor' was shocked, he stared at Earl Clayton.

"You...are really not afraid of death."

Lord Clayton looked over sarcastically.

"You are so afraid of death that you will never have your own demigod realm."

"There are still three days until Ryan's wedding. Three days should be enough, right?"

"enough."

Emperor Feng nodded. He was a little frightened. Are all the nobles in the empire so courageous? Or is it that only such courage can make the empire so powerful?

He suddenly regretted accepting Earl Clayton's invitation. He was already a king, but he was as overwhelmed by the invitation to hunt divinity as the magician.

Taking a deep breath, the Emperor Feng no longer hesitated.

"Then let's get started."

"Kill Him and rob Him of His divinity."

"Whether our bloodline can become more glorious depends on His ability."

On the ground, the iron armor on Aatrox decayed and turned into sand that flew in the sky, but the next moment, a ferocious purple-black armor began to appear on his body. The armor made him look tall, and four wings grew behind the armor.

"Aatrox Clayton, your emperor actually released him."

Emperor Feng was shocked again, he recognized the other party's identity. It was Aatrox who was the fuse that led to the Holy See dispatching the ten extraordinary legions and almost going into a full-scale war with the Empire.

Aatrox was chanting, and an extremely evil aura emerged from his body. It was dark and deep, and the aura of the abyss descended at this moment. This was the favor of countless evil beings in the abyss hell that he gained after he killed the successor of the Pope of the Holy See.

He can easily communicate with those evil great beings without any medium or cost. This is the benefit he gets from fighting against the Vatican, or perhaps not a benefit.

Gradually, the world's sky was no longer white as ice and snow. Instead, the sky became dark and everyone could feel a pair of evil eyes staring at them.

"Won't something go wrong?"

Rose asked behind Ryan. He felt a little scalp-tingling. These people were playing too big.

Ryan paused before giving him an answer.

"will not."

A spiritual panel appeared in front of Ryan. He looked around. The great being in the dark sky did not notice him, and the legends beside him did not notice him either.

The spiritual panel emerged, and in the bottom row, because of Aatrox's chanting and calling, the divine suffix - dusk began to move.

The divine origin of dusk of the three Taisu units was burning at this moment, and they seemed to have come alive.

Ryan looked at his spiritual panel, then looked at Aatrox on the ground, thoughtfully.

The next moment, his mind moved, and three Taisu units of dusk origin descended and landed around Aatrox.

Then in an instant, the world turned into dusk. No matter whether the sky was white or black, it was covered by dusk at that moment, like a flaming sunset glow spreading high above the world.

"Surtur of the Dusk? How could it be him?"

The Wind Emperor was somewhat puzzled. The gazes of the great beings summoned by Aatrox should not have the aura of Dusk Surtur.

"Perhaps this place is too close to the Andara Kingdom, and His remaining aura has received guidance?"

Emperor Feng was puzzled, but to Earl Clayton, it didn't matter who came.

Boom boom boom boom!!!!!!!!!!
The world was deafening, the earth was shaking, and the ice and snow that had accumulated for decades trembled violently at this moment. Ryan saw thousands of wild beasts in the distance rushing out of their nests and began to flee like headless flies.

Then, the temperature in the air began to rise and the snow began to melt. One second, one minute, one hour passed, and the world that appeared in front of Ryan was a swamp world. All the snow disappeared, and turbid water stains filled every corner of his vision.

Boom! ! ! !

The shaking continued, even the frost tornado was shaking. It seemed to have sensed something, and the howling of the wind and snow became even more despairing.

The end of the world seemed to be coming at this moment, because the storm began to spread and the earth cracked open.

A crack appeared, stretching from this part of the earth to the other end of the earth's vision. Orange-red liquid flowed out of the crack. Ryan was sure that there was no volcano under the foot of this land, but lava erupted at this moment.

The amber dragon roared. It sensed a certain aura, a majesty that even a dragon could not match.

Finally, among the countless water vapors and above the hazy sky, Ryan saw a hand reaching out from the depths of the magma. It grabbed the earth, and the land became charred.

Soon, a huge head appeared, followed by a body and limbs.

Magma flowed, and a giant appeared in this world. His height seemed to be comparable to that of the ice tornado.

"Who is calling for my coming?"

A deep voice resounded throughout this world, and a huge molten giant, holding a greatsword, slashed at the amber dragon.

"Dear Sir Surtur, we sincerely want to trade with you."

Aatrox took out the colorful box, which immediately attracted Surtur's attention.
