Chapter 1550
The reason why this situation happened now is probably because it was intended to show "deterrence".
But it obviously underestimated human wisdom.
After Dak and others quickly realized its purpose, they quietly took action.
When it reacted, Fred North and Isaiah Rogier, as well as Quintina North and Norma Rogier, went into the stairs and retreated to the lower floor.
——Although I don't know how this [Tower of Endymion] was designed, the stairs around the supporting columns are indeed not easy for the golem to move.
As long as you retreat to the lower floor, you will be quite safe.
And according to the time calculation, it will take quite a while for the pollutants below to spread to the top of the tower.
During this period of time, the safety of Quintina North and Norma Rogier can be guaranteed.
After that, Isaiah Rogier half-drilled out of the corridor and tried to continue to join the battle.
Among the weakest players on the scene, Fred North, since Isaiah Rogier could kill creatures and win the gold medal alone, his own strength must be inferior, but he just didn't show it before.
At this critical moment of life and death, he no longer held back, and he started with a large-scale grass magic!
Using magic cards as an aid, shortening the time of chanting and casting, and stably releasing high-level magic.
Isaiah Rogier's attainments in grass magic can be called master-level. He completed the spell in a very short time, and the healing flowers all over [Paradise] became his medium for casting.
Small yellow flowers rose from the ground and turned into tree people with lush branches and leaves.
When the light in his hand disappeared, there were more than a dozen huge tree people more than five meters tall around the statue.
These tree people attacked at the same time, and the thick branches suddenly swelled in the sound of the leaves swaying, and they were wrapped around the limbs and neck of the statue.
—This kind of control-type nirvana achieved by physical means is fundamentally immune.
But the premise of trapping the statue is that the treemen can catch up with the statue's power together!
But they obviously can't do it.
The statue suddenly raised its hand and pulled hard, pulling the treemen who tied its hands off the ground.
Then it swung it casually and smashed the treemen hard against the surrounding buildings.
Buildings were constantly smashed and turned into remnants of magic. Sporadic flames were floating in the air.
More magic elves were smashed by the treemen. The space around the statue was cleared in an instant. The scene fell into a brief silence.
Isaiah Rogier couldn't help but open his mouth.
He didn't expect this scene at all, and he immediately realized that he had done something bad.
The faces of the others were also slightly stiff.
After the surrounding magic elves were cleared, the statue seemed unable to continue its personal performance and was stunned for a moment.
But it soon realized that it had to take action.
Therefore, in the next second, the wings on its feet suddenly flapped, driving its heavy body to fly like a feather in the wind, and it appeared in front of Dak in just a blink of an eye!
Catch the king first!
The final step of the ceremony is for the winner of the gold medal to offer the gold medal to the gods, but there is no requirement for who wins it in the end and who among the winners of the gold medal offers it.
Even if Dak dies, the whole ceremony can continue. It can even be said that it will go more smoothly!
Hermes clearly saw through the backbone of this team.
Once the backbone of a team is penetrated, the team's resilience will be significantly reduced, and it will be easier to obey reality.
In fact, Hermes didn't understand why a human would think of disobeying the will of God?
As a human, can't you do what humans should do? For example, offer your loyalty to God?
Hermes was angry and moved the chess piece on the chessboard forward one step.
Under normal circumstances, these humans who came to obtain the "inheritance" should take the initiative to offer gold medals or use the blood of the gods they brought to obtain the inheritance of the gods after seeing the twelve statues of the gods.
——Although the information of "Inheritance of God" was released by Hermes through secret means, it was not all lies.
Although the twelve humans on the scene were not completely carefully selected by him, there were indeed a few who met the requirements of inheritance.
And when the ceremony came to the end, they would indeed get the inheritance, and their mortal bodies would be transformed into divine bodies under the baptism of the mighty divine power.
Then, they would become the carriers of the consciousness of the gods!
Their bodies were transformed, their souls would not perish, but their consciousness would be erased, and they would become the temporary residence of the gods.
Until the gods reshaped their divine bodies and recalled their divine souls, they would be thrown away like garbage bags.
Of course, there are also kind gods who would choose a more troublesome way to help them regenerate consciousness.
As for whether the new consciousness is still their own, that is not something they can consider since their consciousness has already disappeared.
Among them, Quintina North is an excellent carrier for Zeus, the King of Gods.
But the situation is completely different now.
These humans have lost their reverence for the gods. Not only did they not immediately offer the gold medal, but they also doubted the authenticity of the inheritance!
In this way, even if the entire ceremony is finally completed, it is destined to fail to achieve the most perfect effect.
At most, it can only awaken the consciousness of the gods and revitalize them.
—The main purpose of this ritual is to give the twelve gods a boost! As for Hermes himself, if everything goes well.
In addition to being able to boost himself, he can also use the ritual to obtain part of the divine power of the other eleven gods and replace Zeus as the true [King of the Gods]!
When a person is idle for too long, he will always want to do something to prove himself. Hermes' ambition is actually no different from the vulgar desires of humans.
In order to achieve his goal, he made a lot of preparations.
However, since Dak destroyed the transportation pipeline in the underground city, everything went out of control.
Without the infiltration of [Angel Essence], he has little time left. If he does not complete the ritual as soon as possible - even if he completes the ritual as soon as possible, he will not be able to absorb the divine power of the other eleven gods.
In other words, the additional benefits he originally wanted to obtain are now all gone.
Now this ritual only has the most basic awakening and boosting effects. And even the most basic awakening and ** effects were about to be lost!
Once this happened, he could only forcibly transform this ritual into another ritual with a completely different effect!
But that was the worst of the worst, a strategy that should never be implemented unless it was a last resort
Because the uncertainty of that strategy was so great that he had no reason to do so.
The most important thing was that he himself would have to pay a very huge price for it!
Although the twelve gods were of the same blood, he naturally did not want to sacrifice himself to fulfill others.
And if he did that, his bet with the human in front of him would be completely lost!
At this point, all the factors of success or failure were very clear.
If the statue could force Dak and others to offer the gold medal before the pollutants came up, Hermes' basic goal would be achieved.
If the statue was destroyed by Dak and others, or if Dak and others would rather die than obey, Hermes would be completely defeated.
Although Dark and the others did not know the inside story behind the ceremony, they did not make a mistake in their common understanding of destroying the statue.
It was just that the gap between the two sides became more and more prominent.
It was undoubtedly a mantis trying to stop a chariot to destroy the statue. Even if [Demon King Aldridge] was here, and even if he used [Fusion Magic] to fuse it into [Four-Winged Elvis], it might not succeed.
Moreover, now that [Twin Paladins] were by his side, he still had concerns in his heart.
Of course, those were meaningless fantasies.
The truth was that he was about to be killed by the statue!
Unable to react!
The speed of the sudden burst of the statue was so fast that even Oli, who was not far from Dark, could not react.
At this time, he only had the six-star [Dream Demon] and the ten-star [Shemi] by his side. The speed that became faster because of [Nightmare Space] was not enough for them to dodge.
At this moment, Dark Dimon was in a dead end!
The shadow of death loomed.
His brain accelerated further under the threat of death. The [Dream Demon] floating beside him reacted immediately and rushed towards the statue without hesitation.
Facing the fist waving at the statue, the [Dream Demon] screamed suddenly, and the [Fear Gem] on his chest instantly released a magic light shining like a gem!
The fear energy accumulated over time was converted into magic power at this moment.
[Dream Demon] released a powerful attack far beyond its own limit. However, the terrifying magic light was instantly annihilated after encountering the fist of the statue.
"Meow!"
[Dream Demon] stepped forward with a scream and directly used [Same Fate]
After the punch of the statue smashed the magic light of the [Fear Gem], it continued to advance without stopping, and the fist emitting divine light was heavily sunk into the body of [Dream Demon].
Almost instantly, the magic power of [Dream Demon] was instantly emptied. [Same Fate] was triggered on the spot.
The part of the magic power that the Dream Demon lost was sucked back at the moment of dispersal, forming a deep purple magic vortex under its disappearing body.
The magic vortex expanded to its limit in an instant, covering the entire floor, as if it was going to swallow everything.
Then a mysterious and terrifying aura suddenly erupted.
Hermes and Principal Arte on the top of the tower felt the fluctuation of the power of destiny at that moment.
Hermes couldn't help but show surprise on his face. The movement of the golem also stopped in an instant. The golem itself runs on divine power.
And the [Same Fate] of the [Dream Demon] is [Magic Limit].
When its own magic power is exhausted due to serious injury or near death, the opponent will also bear the curse of the power of destiny and suffer almost the same command.
Although the magic power referred to here is different from the divine power, it is the same position for both parties.
Therefore, the golem that was cursed with [Same Fate] suddenly lost a part of its originally little remaining divine power.
——Although the effect is not complete, [Same Fate] has obviously taken effect. The statue temporarily stopped moving because of the disappearance of some of its divine power. This provided Dak with precious time to escape.
Dak evacuated the spot as quickly as possible.
Oli and Angri rushed over at the same time after reacting.
Aurora ran to the stairs at Angri's urgent signal.
In a battle of this magnitude, she couldn't help at all, and the snakeskin she was wearing couldn't be used because Nix was not in this realm.
But she was very careful. At this time, as long as she protected herself and didn't become a burden, she would be the greatest help to Dak.
Among the others, the [Twin Paladins] looked at each other, nodded slightly, and drew a special magic elf card at the same time.
Both knew that any slight reservation at this time would lead to a deviation in the variables of life and death.
Therefore, they did not hesitate to launch a fusion summon, using each of their own magic elves as the fusion material, cross-border fusion, and summoned a twelve-star angel species!
Near them, Lucia Artemis once again summoned [Forest Shadow Leopard].
Cheni Burns knew that his [Overlord Flower Tree] could not be used at this time, so he selectively summoned another auxiliary defense magic elf.
The appearance of the magic elf is like a pure white sphere, but there are eight metal holes evenly distributed on the upper half of the sphere, and the energy field released from them can spread to the entire floor.
Within the range of that field, the magic elf can set various trigger traps on the field.
These traps include but are not limited to [Random Teleport], [Position Exchange], [Acceleration], [Deceleration], [Charge], [Imprisonment], [Explosion]
At this time, the [Nightmare Space] has dissipated, and the field of this magic elf is covered on the ground of [Paradise].
The purpose of Cheni Burns is to create more obstacles for the statue and help his companions avoid danger.
In contrast, although Lucia Artemis summoned [Shadow Leopard of the Forest], she knew very well that her twelve-star magic elf could not interfere with the statue, so she only used it to protect herself and Cheni.
At this time, the real frontal combat force is only Oli wearing [Aries Holy Suit] and Angri wearing [Aquarius Holy Suit], as well as the twelve-star angel species summoned by [Gemini Paladin] - [Almighty Angel]!
When [Almighty Angel] is summoned, its passive aura will quickly unfold.
A golden [Almighty Aura] appears under the feet of all the people and magic elves who are considered [friendly] by [Gemma Paladin].
[Almighty Aura] is just as the name suggests, it is omnipotent!
It can provide almost all the buffs you can imagine
And in addition, it can also provide a layer of shield that is better than nothing. Oh, it is not better than nothing.
At least [Almighty Angel]'s own [Almighty Shield] is still very strong.
