Chapter 384 Seizing the Body of the God, Puppet Frenzy
After all the mages and wizards landed safely, Prius stretched out his hand and waved.
"All legends are divided into small teams to explore the surrounding environment and evacuate quickly when in danger. Don't be reluctant to fight."
"Our purpose is to find out why this illusory kingdom exists here. If there is any situation, report it to me immediately."
Everyone nodded, gathered in the teams they were divided into, and walked in all directions.
Chu Ming looked up at the sky. On the clouds, a giant tree supported the sky like a tree reaching the sky.
The giant branches and leaves were lush and green, full of vitality and emitting divine brilliance. He could tell at a glance that this was the sacred tree before it was burned down.
In addition to the land they are now on, there are many broken continents floating in the sky, and the buildings above are faintly visible.
It was as if they had traveled through tens of thousands of years and returned to the time when the Kingdom of Pashi was at its peak.
"Doug, let's go that way."
Chu Ming pointed his finger at the tall tower emitting divine brilliance in the middle of the sacred tree. This was the largest priest's hall in the Kingdom of God. His intuition told him that there would be the truth he wanted to know.
Doug secretly had a headache. Other legends were afraid of getting into trouble, but this was better for Ren. If there was any danger, he would run in that direction.
"Since Knight Ren said so, let's go over there and take a look. If we encounter any danger, we will retreat immediately and ask Mr. Price to help solve it."
Doug secretly mentioned Pris. With the relationship between Chu Ming and Pris, even if they were in danger, Pris would come to support quickly.
How could Chu Ming not see what he was thinking, he just smiled.
"Then let's set off."
He carefully led the way with the Dragon Slayer in hand, and soon left the park and entered the street.
Compared with the spacious park, the streets nearby seem much narrower. Many residents wearing white robes come and go, making it very lively.
Doug mused: "These residents seem to have no intelligence, like a projection of memory."
The three of them were dressed in different costumes and walked among pedestrians all wearing white robes. They looked extremely abrupt, but the surrounding residents seemed to be invisible, passing straight through their bodies and disappearing at the end of the street.
Chu Ming listened carefully to what the pedestrians were chatting with, and as expected, what they said were all words of God.
"Is this illusory kingdom born from someone's memory?"
Chu Ming raised his head and looked at the holy tree standing in the clouds. He was very sure that only with a god-level existence like the holy tree, his memory would still be so clear even if tens of thousands of years had passed.
Doug followed Chu Ming's gaze and asked, "Then what is their purpose of recreating the memory of the Holy Tree?"
"Maybe the memory illusions that occur in various places in southern Xinjiang also come from the memory of the holy tree."
Lonnie was stunned and looked surprised.
"If the memory illusion that covers a small half of the southern border is born from the memory of this holy tree, then the power of the gods is too terrifying. It can overlook all kinds of creatures and remember them all."
"This is the power of God." Doug couldn't help but sigh.
Chu Ming had already guessed this, so he was not surprised.
What he was even more curious about was that there were obviously some people in white robes on the street rushing towards a certain place, as if there was something attracting them there.
"Come on, let's go see what these illusions are trying to do?"
Chu Ming waved to the two of them, and walked towards the direction where the white-robed men gathered, regardless of whether they answered or not.
"Brother, what should we do?"
Lonnie looked sideways at Doug.
Doug said helplessly: "Keep following."
"With the three of us together, even if we encounter danger, we will have someone to take care of us, so we won't be caught off guard."
After the two chatted, they hurriedly followed Chu Ming's footsteps, turned several corners in the street, and spent more than ten minutes before finally arriving on a spacious main road.
At this time, the main road was overcrowded and noisy.
Chu Ming and the others were not the first team to find this place. On the house, legends from the other two teams waved to them.
Seeing other legends present, Doug was obviously relieved. There were ten two-star legends in their three teams. Even if they encountered three-star legend enemies, it was enough to hold on until Prius came to support them.
"Doug, cover me, I'll go in and take a look."
In order to hear clearly what these residents were shouting, Chu Mingshang walked into the crowd.
The ethereal voices of the white-robed residents became clearer as he approached, and he seemed to hear words such as "traitor," "god," and "disappointment."
"Execute her!"
"Burn, burn all the impure things!"
Sharp shouts came like a tide. Although they spoke divine words regarded as the language of gods by historians, the words they spoke were so filthy and full of hatred.
Chu Ming stood in the crowd, and a trial vehicle slowly drove towards him and penetrated his body.
He looked up and saw two priests in white robes and gold patterns standing with indifferent eyes, and between them a girl had her hands and feet shackled, her head lowered helplessly, her expression seemed to be in pain.
This girl is Luticia who disappeared before.
He subconsciously reached out to grab Luticia, but his palm passed through the girl's shoulder.
He was stunned for a moment, and Doug and the others hurried over.
"Ren Knight, are you okay?"
Chu Ming came out of his trance and saw that the trial car had already left him.
He shook his head and said, "I'm fine. Let's go and see. I always feel that something is going to happen."
He led the two people to follow the footsteps of the people and continued to move forward. The two teams on the roof followed closely. If Chu Ming and his three were attacked, they would strike with thunder.
The dirty words around him entered his ears. The more such moments came, the calmer Chu Ming became.
"The Lutishia I saw just now should be an illusion projected by the memory of the Holy Tree, which is different from the Lutishia and Ana I met in the south."
"According to the normal historical progress, Ana and Lutishia went south to find the Holy Fire. It may be at that time that Lutishia exposed her identity as a god, so she faced judgment."
"So where would Ana be at this time?"
Chu Ming looked around the crowd and finally landed on a short figure covered by a white robe.
The trial car drove into the corner, and the high and uneven floor tiles made the car shake. At this moment, Ana took action.
The white robe was lifted up, and the sharp blade flashed dazzlingly in the sun. He was like a warrior walking towards death, launching a full-strength attack in the shadows.
"Clang!"
The dagger stopped in front of the priest, only half a centimeter away, but even if he used all his strength, he couldn't pierce it.
"Ah!"
Ana swung the dagger desperately, but it was difficult to shake the priest.
"Ana?!"
Lutisia looked back, and the loss on her face was quickly replaced by panic.
"Why are you here? Go away."
"I don't want to!"
The boy stabbed hard, and there was a click from the priest's body, and the transparent barrier opened a few cracks.
"Have you made enough trouble?"
The priest stared at him indifferently, as if he was looking at an object, not a person.
Another priest hurried forward and said, "Fire bearer, this is not a place you can come to."
Before Ana could react, a strange fragrance floated from the man's sleeves, and he instantly fell on the execution cart.
Lutisia was relieved when she saw Ana fainted.
Chu Ming watched this scene with a flickering gaze. His heart seemed to be touched, and there were more thoughts in his mind.
"Knight Ryan, do you know them?" Doug asked.
Chu Ming glanced at the man for a few times, neither admitting nor denying.
Doug didn't mind. He pointed to the end of the street and said, "I just used my mental power to sense that the purpose of this judgment car is the airship at the end."
"They seem to be taking the airship to the priest tower in the center of the Kingdom of God."
"I have a hunch that the truth about the existence of the illusion of the Kingdom of God may be hidden there."
"Why don't we return to the park first and explain the situation here to Mr. Priss, and then go to the priest tower together when everyone gathers."
Chu Ming agreed, "I also think something may happen there, let's go back first."
Doug breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the two teams of legends on the house and conveyed the same message to the legends through his mental power.
Everyone was unwilling to take risks and agreed to this suggestion.
Everyone slowly flew up from the street, overcoming the stronger gravity than before and flew back.
A minute later, Chu Ming and the others returned to the park, and Priss, who was sitting cross-legged on the grass, slowly opened his eyes.
"You seem to have gained something."
Chu Ming nodded and repeated what he had just encountered to the man.
The man nodded slightly as he thought about it, and took out a magic prop from the lining of his armor.
He raised the magic prop above his head, and strange waves emanated, passing through the streets and alleys, reaching every legend.
After a while, the legends either rose out of thin air or flew back with the magic props.
"Everyone, I have already conveyed the cause and process of the matter to you through the props, so I don't need to say more."
The priest tower in the distance in front of him, which was emitting divine light, shouted: "Please follow my footsteps."
The man floated into the air and flew towards the priest tower hidden in the clouds in the sky.
The legends followed closely, leaving the broken continent, passing through the clouds, and walking side by side with the airships that came and went in the sky, rowing their oars.
In just a few minutes, they crossed a long distance and came to the center of the entire kingdom of God.
The area of the priest tower is not big, but it is not small either. It is half the area of Violet King City.
Chu Ming looked carefully and felt a sense of familiarity in the golden light column rising from the island.
"This island seems to be floating on the floating island above Violet King City."
He was stunned for a moment, followed the crowd to the ground, and followed the team of execution vehicles.
Doug whispered: "I just saw that their destination seems to be the guillotine in the square. This girl may..."
Chu Ming's pupils shrank slightly when he heard this.
Looking forward, the team of execution vehicles stopped. Lutishia, led by two priests, endured the insults and slowly landed and walked towards the square.
In the middle of the square, the guillotine was more than ten meters high, and a giant guillotine carved with magic patterns flashed a sharp light, which made people feel cold.
On both sides, knights in gorgeous armor held huge chains connected to the guillotine. As long as they let go of their hands, the guillotine would fall.
By this time, Ana had already woken up. He desperately slapped the priest, but he could not get out of his armpits. He could only watch Lutishia being escorted to the guillotine.
"No, High Priest, Her Highness is the Princess of the Kingdom of God, you can't do this!" Ana shouted while holding on to the last bit of his life.
The high priest stood by the guillotine, ignoring the boy's words and muttering a prayer.
"May the tree god bless you. I hope you can wash away your sins with your blood and regain your life."
After the old man performed some rituals, he motioned with his eyes to the knights in the audience to release their hands from the chains.
At this moment, Preuss suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky, "Here we come, I feel an evil and chaotic aura."
After the man finished speaking, the two sturdy knights released their chains.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The chain rubbed against the guillotine and fell quickly.
Suddenly, the situation suddenly changed, the rapidly falling guillotine stopped momentarily, Luticia's dull eyes, Ana's cry of despair and pain, and the people's joyful smiles... were all frozen at this moment.
Dark clouds gathered over the Kingdom of God, and light rain fell, washing away sin.
A fire suddenly ignited from beneath the feet of Chu Ming and the others, and quickly spread to the surroundings with a terrifying aura of destruction. The rainwater was evaporated, the clouds were burned red, and the land islands quickly turned into a sea of fire and ashes.
The flames spread to the holy tree, igniting the green branches and leaves. The fire suddenly shot up into the sky, illuminating the dead darkness in the sky.
Everyone was in mid-air vigilantly, guarding against dangers that might arise at any time.
After a while, everything in the world they were in turned into charcoal as far as their eyes could see.
The thick burnt smell lingered on the tip of their noses. At this moment, they seemed to have returned to reality. The twisted flesh and blood forest grew rapidly and spread to all the broken islands.
On the lifeless and blackened body of the holy tree, the flesh and blood were like tree roots and blood vessels, encouraging the climb up the body.
When Preuss saw this scene, his heart was shaken, and he seemed to understand something.
The man's expression changed. Quickly said: "No, this illusion of the Kingdom of God is the manifestation of the evil dragon when he absorbed the memory of the holy tree. Now he wants to inherit the memory of the holy tree, extend new life from the remains of the holy tree, and become a new holy tree?! "
"He must be stopped!"
After saying that, he quickly flew towards the holy tree.
Chu Ming's face was solemn, and he and the others followed Puris. He shouted and asked: "Mr. Puris, what will happen if the evil dragon succeeds in seizing the body?"
Preuss said without looking back, "Then he will have the second authority and become a powerful being like the god of war and desolation."
"Even... seize the power of the earth and occupy one of the seven laws!"
"You know the consequences of the evil god seizing the laws of the world. If you don't want Southern Xinjiang to fall into eternal darkness, give me all your strength and you will die to stop him!"
Everyone was infected by Prius' firm belief and decisive tone, and secretly clenched their fists.
"Come on!"
Everyone shouted, their arrogance getting even worse.
"Courage is commendable, but have you forgotten me?"
A sudden sound instantly ruined the atmosphere.
Victor was floating in the sky alone, blocking everyone's way.
"You want to stop us all by yourself? No way!" Preuss was so arrogant that he punched out.
"boom!"
Victor exploded instantly, scattering parts and squirming flesh.
Chu Ming's eyes narrowed, "It's the devil again?!"
There is no doubt that this guy is definitely a puppet master!
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, I never said I was a human being."
In the flesh and blood forest, hundreds of figures turned into streams of light and flew into the sky at high speed, surrounding everyone.
The light faded, and these figures appeared. They all had the same face!
They are all Victors!
Pris' face changed greatly, "What, why are there so many!"
"Damn, which one is real."
Chu Ming's face was solemn, and he looked around. He found strange and wriggling flesh and blood on many Victors.
His heart suddenly shook, his head suddenly opened up, and he hurriedly shouted a reminder:
"These are all puppets made through the alchemy of puppet life, and they borrowed the power of the evil god to quickly reach the legendary realm."
"Theoretically, every one of them is a real Victor!"
