Start by logging into the Old Man's Ring at Hogwarts

If she did not have a son, her first husband would reclaim the throne.

Unfortunately, with Zicomo, this unexpected and overpowered intruder, Marika's plan was destined to fail.

…………

When Zicomo stepped into the Royal Court of Rodel, he found it completely deserted except for himself and Melina.

Although reality is not a game, the BOSS has its own will and will appear in various corners of the border area.

However, under the rules of the boundary area, they usually don't wander around. They generally appear in the BOSS room at the appropriate time, waiting for the challenge from the Faded Ones.

The Royal Court of Rodel during this period was the boss room of Govre.

However, Gefle was not there at the time.

Zicomo frowned slightly, wondering where Gefuli might be at this moment.

Have they not returned from outside the border yet, or have they already entered the Golden Tree to find Marika?

Melina noticed Zicomo's confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zicomo snapped out of his reverie and shook his head: "It's nothing."

It doesn't matter where Gefuli is; his goal is Marika in the Golden Tree.

Before entering the Golden Tree, Zicomo had to extinguish the flames burning on its surface.

Otherwise, no one would know when the golden tree would be burned to ashes.

Zicomo raised his left hand and activated 'Golden Drain'.

The flames on the golden tree were drawn towards Zicomo's palm.

The powerful flames surged in, but only created waves of heat, which were eventually absorbed into Zicomo's body.

In no time at all, the flames on the golden tree were completely absorbed by Zicomo.

To Zicomo's surprise, his strength actually increased significantly after absorbing these flames.

Roughly 30%.

This is thirty percent of a god's power; its strength is unimaginable.

Zicomo guessed that this was probably because the flames grew stronger by using the golden tree as nourishment, and he absorbed these flames in return.

This is equivalent to him indirectly absorbing some of the power of the Golden Tree.

Directly absorbing the power of the Golden Tree would definitely not work.

Because there is an Elden Beast guarding inside the Golden Tree, Zikomo cannot directly use 'Golden Absorption' on it.

'Tsk, I should have let this fire burn a little longer.'

Of course, Zicomo was just thinking about it.

Burning the golden tree and then absorbing it would waste some of its power.

By entering the Golden Tree and killing the Beast of Elden, one can directly and completely absorb its power.

Zicomo isn't stupid; he naturally knows what to choose.

"let's go."

After extinguishing the flames burning on the surface of the golden tree, Zicomo beckoned Melina to continue forward.

The two climbed the steps, passed through the mist on the surface of the golden tree, and stepped inside.

This is a vast but enclosed platform.

If you look closely, you'll find that the surrounding walls and the ground beneath your feet are actually made of wood.

Considering this is inside the Golden Tree, this is not surprising.

Zicomo surveyed the platform in the dim light.

The wooden floor was covered with strange patterns and even had some sparse weeds growing on it.

Not far from him, there was a protrusion about one meter high, resembling a tree stump.

There was also a crudely made stone hammer stuck in it.

Zicomo knew that it was the stone hammer that Marika used to smash the Elden Ring.

It was also the object that Radagan attempted to use to repair the Ring of Law.

This thing is definitely a magical artifact.

The moment Zicomo saw it, he considered whether he should steal it before the war started.

However, the presence of Gefure next to the hammer made Zicomo abandon the idea.

Yes, the man Zicomo was looking for outside, Gavre, was now standing next to Marica's stone hammer.

'This guy, could it be that he didn't see his son Montgomery outside and missed his wife, so he couldn't wait to rush in?'

Zicomo thought to himself.

In terms of strength, Govere is definitely no match for Zicomo.

But with him guarding Marika's stone hammer, Zicomo's plan to seize it before Radagan could react was definitely doomed.

Speaking of Radagan, he was currently struggling with Marika for control of his body.

Their bodies were now suspended in an arc above the stone hammer by the rune.

Its shape resembles a gesture of punishing sinners at a border crossing.

Upon noticing Zicomo's arrival, Gefure withdrew his gaze from Marika.

He turned his head and said, "It's truly remarkable that we've been able to fight until now."

“Faded Ones—warriors unblessed by gold! The great Elden Ring is indeed near.”

"However, I have returned to this place so that I may see it once more!"

"Your journey will end here."

“My name is Govre, the first King of Elden.”

Although it wasn't in Gofule's boss room, Gofule still said the lines he would say during a boss battle.

However, Zicomo ignored him.

A King of Elden banished to the 4.5th rank, though there may be reasons for this, such as an unknown conspiracy between him and Marika.

But in any case, Gofulei was no longer the king of the borderlands.

Moreover, before Govere, there was the "Dragon King" Platon Sanx.

If we're really talking about it, he was the true original King of Elden.

Gofulei can at best be considered the initial king of the Golden Tree era.

For Zicomo, who had long since become a god, Gofule was no longer worthy of his attention.

Now, even Melina wielding a black knife can solo kill Gefuli.

After all, Melina was at the peak of her power, a godlike figure, and her black sword contained the runes of death.

For a superhuman assassin wielding a divine weapon, defeating a warrior whose condition is uncertain is practically nonexistent is incredibly easy.

Chapter 342 Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year everyone!!!

I've been busy with New Year's greetings these past few days, but I'll definitely update more frequently once I'm done!

Zicomo ignored Gefure and looked at Marika, who was suspended in the air by the rune's curve.

Because her head was lowered, her dull blonde hair fell down her side.

His pale skin was like stone, and the left half of his body was covered with cracks.

There is also a huge cavity in the left abdomen.

Perhaps due to the characteristics of rare beings, or perhaps because Marika was a deity, Zicomo could not see Marika's internal organs through the hole.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have been dead long ago.

However, Marika is no ordinary person; she is a deity and the "Eternal Queen" of the entire border region.

Even after she shattered the Elden Ring that was attached to her with her own hands, she was still alive.

If it weren't for the presence of a Radagan within her vying for control of her body, Zicomo would have even doubted that the mere Golden Tree and the Beast of Elden could have trapped her here.

It's important to know that this "Eternal Queen" practically single-handedly guided the entire Shattered War and left behind countless contingency plans.

All this was to break free from the control of the supreme will.

I admire Marika Zicomo very much, but that's all I admire.

Zicomo coveted the power of the entire Golden Tree, not the restoration of the Ring of Power like the Faded One in the game.

If it were just about repairing the magic ring, perhaps Marika could anchor her consciousness within the Golden Tree and be reborn after countless years.

Zicomo, on the other hand, wanted to use the ability of 'Golden Absorption' to seize the power of the Golden Tree, completely sever the connection between the Supreme Will and the Borderlands, and end this era known as the Golden Law.
