Chapter 584: Fountain of Existence
Among the three pillars of the masquerade, although the person in charge is the "arbitrator of the opposite reason" Belle Peabody, and the combat power is "Thousand Changes" Shudenan, if we want to talk about the real core of the three, it has to be the "top seat" Hecate.
In a sense, Shudenan exists only to protect Hecate.
Although in appearance, Hecate is just a three-no form of a girl loli, and there is a considerable difference between her and Belle Peabody, who looks like a queen, but she is still her sister.
As a follower of the "Creation God" Sacrifice Snake, the priestess who is responsible for spreading its will not only has an extremely huge power of existence, but can also accommodate a very large amount of or even infinite power of existence.
At the same time, the other party is also the only one among the three pillars who can communicate with the Sacrifice Snake.
Under the premise that Shudenan gave a positive reply, the only possibility Belle Peabody can think of is her sister.
Although the other party has not left Xingli Palace for many years, who else in this world can do those things quietly under her nose except for the other party who can communicate directly with the leader?
... Belle Peaulu could not think of a second possibility.
But what they both did not expect was that it seemed that the Lord of Sacrifice Snake had passed on a new divine prophecy. They waited outside for several hours in a row until the sky was slightly bright, and the inorganic girl wearing a white cloak and shoulder-length light blue hair came out.
After coming out, the other party did not look at them, but walked towards the main hall of Xingli Palace without looking sideways. Seeing this, Belle Peaulu and Xiu Denan could not say much, and could only follow behind the other party all the way.
When Hei Kadi sat down in the middle, the other party spoke calmly.
"The location of the lost child at zero hour has been found, and the plan can be implemented."
"The lost child at zero hour... has been found?"
Listening to Hecate's bland narration, both Xiudenan and Bellepeol could not help but be stunned.
For thousands of years, the only purpose of their masquerade was to welcome back their leader. But let alone opening the passage to welcome back the main body of their leader, the amount of existence power required to attract his will to descend is an extremely terrifying number, not to mention the other complicated preparations made for these.
The other complicated preparations are actually easy to say. After all, they don't have much other things, but they have a lot of time. Thousands of years before and after are enough for them to complete those preparations. What really gives them a headache is the extremely consuming and terrifying existence power.
In order to gather those existence powers, they have no other way except to set off an inhumane massacre in the world. That is not just to eat up a city or something, the amount required is more than ten times more.
Even though the Fire Mist has not had much conflict with their Masquerade over the years, in fact, there are countless top Fire Mists who are always watching them. Once they dare to do something out of the ordinary, they will inevitably face a crazy counterattack from all the Fire Mists. In this case, collecting enough existence power becomes a headache for them.
...Hundreds of years ago, they actually tried this.
In that chaotic era, the Red World King "Coffin Tailor" Yasis created an organization called [Funeral Bell] in order to revive the contractor and lover "Fire Mist Warrior" Diss who died in the battle, and attracted 9 other Red World Demon Kings, calling them "Nine Skeleton Libras", and became the Red World Apostle Corps as the organization's officials.
On the surface, the extreme apostle organization [Funeral Bell] has nothing to do with their [Masquerade], but in fact, this organization was secretly promoted by their Masquerade from its formation to its establishment.
Their masquerade planned all this in order to artificially stir up a war between the fire fog and the apostles, so that they could fish in troubled waters in this war and collect enough existence power.
——In a sense, [Funeral Bell] is a live target pushed out by their masquerade.
Even the fuse of everything, the death of the fire fog warrior Dis, who was both the contractor and lover of the oldest red king coffin tailor Yasis, who was the first to eliminate the brutal and rampant compatriots, is closely related to their masquerade.
After the death of his contractor... or his lover Dis, Yasis, who could not accept this fact, did not hesitate to bear everything he had in the past in order to revive the other party.
Once upon a time, he and Dis destroyed many apostle organizations together, became heroes with great military exploits, and were famous free masters in the world. He was also the oldest red king and enjoyed a very high reputation.
But after Diss's death, in order to revive her, he did not hesitate to become the kind of existence he had once wanted to destroy, and formed the apostle legion "Funeral Bell".
...For the world order, he is the highest level of betrayer.
He used to be a hero of the world, but after that, in order to achieve his goal, he successfully launched "Devouring City" to obtain a large amount of existence power and became the strongest king of the Red World among the current disciples. He has become the world's biggest cancer.
The unscrupulous behavior of [Funeral Bell] successfully aroused the anger of the "Fire Mist Warriors", causing them to gather into a legion and fight with them as expected by the masquerade.
Originally, the masquerade's plan was about to succeed, but unfortunately at the last moment, because the "flaming-haired scorching-eyed conqueror" Matilda activated the sky-shattering earth and made the "heaven-earth calamity fire" Alastor appear in the world, not only crushing all of Asis's hopes, but also completely cutting off their conspiracy.
...Neither Bellpeol nor Shudenan expected that the flaming-haired scorching-eyed conqueror could be so decisive, and the heaven-earth calamity fire could be so cruel.
It was precisely for this reason that after this failure, they had to try other methods.
In the following hundreds of years, they had other attempts of varying sizes, but compared to the previous war, they were just small fights and could not be carried out on an effective scale at all. It was not until the appearance of the treasure [Zero Hour Lost Child] that they had a new direction.
Since the path of obtaining the power of existence by devouring humans on a large scale has been completely cut off by the fire fog and the "Heavenly Fire", why not open up another path in other aspects.
For example... using the characteristics of the [Zero Hour Lost Child] to artificially create a [Fountain of Existence].
