He stood up with a smile, tapped the ground lightly with his left hand holding the cane, and looked outside the house.

"Please come in, our legendary adventurer."

While the other fifth-tier transcendents were slightly stunned, Grand Duke Longyu's pupils shrank instantly, and Grand Duke Qingjin's expression also froze slightly.

The door of the conference room slowly opened, and a pair of pitch-black boots stepped onto the luxurious floor that was filled with light.

Black clothes, black hair, black blade.

bang——

Duke Longyu suddenly stood up with a loud noise.

"Lord Anser."

He immediately turned his head to look at Anser, and even forgot to call Anser Hydra. His amber-like brown pupils were slightly distorted, and there was a faint sign of turning into vertical pupils:

"The method you are talking about refers to this rebellious person?"

Faust, the rebellious man who had fought a great battle with him three years ago and disappeared soon after.

"Crazy and rebellious?"

Faust, who was standing at the door of the conference room, sneered: "You seem to think too highly of yourself, Olementine."

"Do you think you are an irresistible existence?"

"Faust!" the Dragon Lord roared, "How dare you--"

"Noisy."

The black-haired young man had his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist with an expressionless face.

The expressions of the other extraordinary people all changed. The strength of Grand Duke Longyu could be seen from the fact that he was sitting in the position closest to Anser.

This monster was on par with this guy three years ago, and now he dares to treat him badly in front of Hydra. If they were to fight here...

"Okay, Mr. Longyu, Mr. Faust."

As soon as Anser opened his mouth, Faust and Grand Duke Dragontongue immediately fell silent - this was naturally because his tone was gentle and had nothing to do with the shadow of the nine-headed demon snake dancing wildly projected on the wall.

Just by revealing the shadow of Hydra, all the extraordinary people present could feel the creepy breath of destruction.

"We now have a common goal, which is to eliminate the disaster that will destroy the imperial order, Ivora."

Hydra's eyes swept over every extraordinary person present, and he said with a gentle smile: "No matter what conflicts you have, you must put them aside for the time being until this goal is achieved."

"This is not a request, this is an order."

It was somewhat surprising that such toughness appeared in Hydra, who was known for his gentleness, but no one found it strange in this situation. Everyone took Anther's dominance for granted, but only one person was hit at a sensitive point.

Duke Longyu sat down slowly in silence. Under his coat, his skin... was covered with dense dragon scales.

Hydra, you no longer intend to hide?

Want to take the entire empire into your hands after killing Ivora?

Faust...it turns out that he has been in contact with you for a long time, and he is indeed your nephew!

Three years ago, was it you who instructed him to test me?

The man closed his eyes and slowly calmed his breathing. When he opened his eyes again, his face was calm.

The murderous intent hidden deep in his heart flashed across his brown eyes.

It doesn't matter, you won't have that chance again.

He whispered in his heart.

"I don't think I need to introduce the legendary adventurer Faust to you all."

Anser didn't even glance at the Grand Duke of Dragon Language, but looked at Faust, who still had no expression, with great enthusiasm: "I said before that I have a method that can resist the flames of the Feasting Flame, but it is a bit reckless - in fact, to be precise, it is not me who uses this method, but Lord Faust."

"You may not know that, earlier, when the rift filled with the Flame of Feasting was first opened, that is, when the adventurers gathered in Red Valley City, Lord Faust was also present."

Anser said leisurely: "He went deep into the rift of the maze, and as you can see now, he returned intact."

There were some low cries of disbelief among the extraordinary people - it was not that they were ignorant, but they really had never seen anyone who dared to rush into the rift in the maze filled with the flames of feasting without knowing the situation at all. They were even more surprised at how he came back intact.

"Mr. Faust." Hydra smiled, "Please briefly explain how you did it."

"use this."

Faust said this concisely without any explanation. Instead, he raised his hand and a black, mucus-like substance instantly covered his entire arm.

At the same moment, the faces of the extraordinary people present immediately became extremely interesting.

"Is this... an abyss?"

The extraordinary person from the Hall of the End murmured in disbelief: "To be so close to the power of the abyss and to materialize it..."

He looked at Faust with great excitement, his voice a little out of tune: "How on earth did you do it!"

Faust ignored him and said indifferently: "Using this substance as a shield can resist the burning of the Feast Flame to the greatest extent."

The trouble with the Feasting Flame is that it uses burning as a guise and returns everything to its origin in the form of "absolute decomposition". So if you want to resist burning, you can only start from two directions.

One is the infinite superposition of numbers, just like the cruel plan of Duke Blood and Dust to treat nine million people as firewood. It is simple and crude, but it does work.

The other direction is naturally to increase the comprehensive strength of the protection so that the flame of feasting cannot easily burn the protected objects.

Obviously, as the embodiment of the world's information torrent, the abyss... is the existence that the Flame of Feasting must spend the most effort to burn.

But there are many problems now - not the problem of killing Ivora, but the problem of Faust.

In this world... how could there suddenly appear someone with such an absurd affinity for the abyss that can even transform the most complex power in the world into a material existence?

Theoretically speaking, shouldn't Hydra be the only one who can do this?

At this time, Anser said at the right time: "Although I can also create the same abyss material as Master Faust, but... it is not suitable for use as protection."

The next second, the walls and the floor of the entire conference hall...all sank into the dark swamp! Countless tentacles protruding from the dark swamp danced wildly like living creatures, carrying the terrifying magic that dragged people's minds to the bottom of the endless abyss, tearing reality apart and twisting it, turning everything into nothingness and chaos.

All the extraordinary people were terrified, and some even subconsciously fought back at the air. However, when they came to their senses, they found that the scene as if being swallowed by the abyss... was just an illusion.

The source was nothing more than the dark substance condensed in Anser's palm.

"As you can see." Anser's tone was somewhat helpless. "What I condensed... let's call it Abyssal Material. This material can indeed resist the burning of the Flame of Feasting to a great extent, but it will also cause indiscriminate Abyssal erosion to you all."

"If you are covered by my abyssal matter, it is very likely that you will not be able to fight normally in a few minutes."

"But the strength of the abyssal substance of Mr. Faust is far lower than mine. At least after being covered, the impact on you will not be as exaggerated as before. However... erosion still exists in the end."

Hydra sighed slightly: "This is what I call 'reckless'. Actively accepting the abyss coverage of Master Faust can ensure that you can move freely in the flames of feasting, but the price is that you will inevitably be eroded by the abyss."

"Although it is a little difficult, I think that in order to eliminate the source of the disaster and to allow you to bask in the glory of the new order in the future, this little risk is worth it..."

He looked at every extraordinary person present, his extremely earnest and sincere eyes concealing the deepest malice.

"That should be acceptable, right?"

Chapter 73: Ansel, save me!

The extraordinary people finally accepted Anser's proposal.

All of them who could gather here were strong people who had overcome untold hardships, and their ability to resist the abyss was naturally immeasurable. However, the abyss material condensed by Hydra was too dangerous, which in turn highlighted the harmlessness of Faust.

Another point is, of course, that they had no choice. They couldn't really wait for alchemists like Paracelsus to spend two days to come up with a more stable means of protection.

Bask in the glory of the new order...

The extraordinary people have been dominated by the emperor's tyranny for too long, and even the kindest among them are unwilling to miss this opportunity.

In the sky that had already been dyed blood red, the extraordinary beings who were able to turn the current empire upside down gathered in front of the crack that was still gushing with blood flames.

Anser, standing at the front, stared at the crack that looked like a wound to the world. The ever-burning violent aura was so familiar to him.

Even if he could get rid of Ivora and other extraordinary people at the same time, Ansher still faced a huge problem.

——Why did Ivora suddenly appear inexplicably? Why didn't she return when she clearly had the ability to tear open a rift in this plane? Is it really as I calculated... Did some unknown reason cause Ivora to fall into complete confusion and madness?

What role did the force that killed the mother and endowed Susilen with the qualifications to become emperor play in all this?

"..."

Hydra exhaled slowly. To fight against fate, one must foresee the situation further ahead, but now is not the time to think about these things.

After the sea is clear and the sky is bright, all focus will be directed to the powerful enemy hidden in the darkness.

"Everyone." He turned his head and looked at the extraordinary people behind him, revealing a calm smile, "I will not say any more, I just hope that you can remember that the new order of the empire... is in your hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, his tall and handsome figure was covered by a pitch-black object that appeared out of thin air, and his originally human form melted away.

Under the horrified gazes of the extraordinary people, the doomsday demon beast that was attached to the human body and refused to give up human wisdom, as the dark thing twisted and expanded... revealed its true form, a calamity body that was infinitely above the ordinary, and as the door to the abyss opened, it descended!

The body that blocked out the sun and the sky shrouded the extraordinary people in shadow, like the trunk of a mountain. Among the nine heads, four were swaying slowly as if they had self-awareness, while the other five seemed to be in a deep sleep, with their heads slightly lowered and no movement.

After obtaining the treasure called wisdom, successive Hydras almost never reveal their true forms. There is no being in this world who is more eager to enjoy the happiness of being a "human" than them. Only in very rare circumstances will they abandon their human bodies.

Ansor once promised Hitana that he would reveal his true form when he took her to see a higher and farther view. Before this, he only turned into a mad beast when he tried to save his mother. Now is the third time he has revealed his true form as the nine-headed demon snake.

Even without stating it, it proved its determination through actions.

"Let's go."

The low voice, no longer as clear and gentle as before, seemed to overlap and resonate like an echo: "I am here to lead the way for you all."

The huge demon snake's body slowly squeezed into the crack of the world, and the dark air currents floating on its scales easily blocked the blood flames gushing out of the entire crack. When its tail also disappeared into the crack, Faust turned his head and glanced at the slightly stunned extraordinary people, and followed without saying a word.

After a brief hesitation, this group of powerful people standing at the top of the world also stepped into the maze one after another. Whether they were excited by the "new order" mentioned by Ansher, or simply wanted to kill the existence that threatened their freedom as soon as possible... no one could tell.

After they entered the maze one after another, two people still remained outside the rift.

Olementine Dragonwhisper, and Namor Green Gold.

"Namo." Duke Longyu stared at Duke Qingjin, "Have you thought about it?"

Grand Duke Qingjin did not look at him, but looked at the blood flames covering the ground, and murmured in a low voice: "These are all precious gold coins... How willful you are, Your Highness the Grand Princess."

"Namo!"

"Okay, okay, Olementine, I'm listening."

The man turned back to look at Grand Duke Long Yu, smiling politely, but the greed in his eyes could not be concealed:

"Although I really want to help you, the price you offer is not high enough."

Duke Long Yu frowned and said, "One Western Country is not enough?"

Namo pointed to the blood flames below: "Are you referring to the Western Country like this?"

"...Okay, then the South Territory. I can give you the South Territory as well."

"No." Namor shook his head, "I want... all of it."

He held the gem cane leisurely and raised his chin slightly: "The economy of the new order must be controlled by my Chamber of Commerce. This is all I want. As for the amount of fiefdom, I don't care at all."

"..."

Olementin's eyes gradually turned cold. After the first meeting of the day, he contacted many grand dukes, but Grand Duke Qingjin was the only one who remained ambiguous after meeting with him. This guy dragged it on until now... It turned out that he wanted to raise the price.

"Now is not the time to bargain." Olementine said coldly, "After those two troubles are dealt with, I can negotiate with you on this basis. Don't push your luck. Do you think that if you stand on Hydra's side, he will be able to offer you more favorable conditions than me?"

Grand Duke Qingjin looked at him for two seconds, then curled his lips and spread his hands: "Okay, then let's negotiate on this basis after this is over."

Having said this, he also flew towards the rift, but before stepping into it, he turned back to look at Olementine.

"But, Olementine... where on earth do you get your confidence from?"

"From that Hydra who thought no one knew his true identity."

Olementin sneered sarcastically: "He thought that after dealing with Ivora, he could sit back and relax and continue to grow secretly? He never thought that I would not give him this opportunity."

"——We will not give him this opportunity."

"You make it sound like you've convinced everyone... But, half of them should be enough."

Grand Duke Qingjin shrugged: "After all, the others have no reason to help Hydra."

Olementine also came to the front of the rift, his eyes transformed into vertical pupils, burning with ambition.

"Because no matter how hypocritical he is, he is still Hydra."

Ok……

The moment he stepped into the rift, Namo Qingjin touched his chin.
