Chapter 518 Scapegoat, Darren Fisher!
Chapter 518 Scapegoat, Darren Fisher!
When the terrifying projection of the God of Mechanical Recasting in the sky finally slowly dissipated, leaving behind a mess.
In the Mechanical Holy City of the Lorne Empire, tens of thousands of very devout Recast Church believers fell to the ground collectively as if the power was suddenly cut off.
Lose all vitality.
They fell to the ground completely disabled, as if they had never lived and were merely mechanical structures.
Of course, summoning the power of God to come comes at a cost.
And those devout believers have voluntarily said more than once in their prayers that they can give everything they have to God.
That is also a contract.
The contract itself has the greatest mysterious nature.
The Fisher family, the temporary allies of Emperor Qiyao, were keenly aware of the coming storm.
Darren's eyes flashed with uneasiness, knowing that the disappearance of the Qiyao Emperor not only meant that the Qiyao Empire lost its most powerful guardian, but also meant that those enemies who were once frightened by the power would be like wild beasts breaking free, ready to move. Prepare to redivide this fertile land.
He subconsciously looked at the thousand-year-old pope who had redeemed the church.
The other party stood in the sky, still seeming to be recalling everything that had just happened, and did not even look at the Fisher family.
However, for some reason, Darren could feel a killing intent that was engraved in his bones, making people feel chilling deep in his heart.
Something is wrong.
That old guy, whose whole body was uncomfortable, as if exuding a rotten aura all the time, although he was completely ignoring the Fisher family at this moment, he was definitely paying attention here.
Moreover, his murderous intention towards the Fisher family is more intense than towards the Emperor of Qiyao!
It can even be said that Darren felt a terrible will exist in the Redeemer Pope.
That is a determination to go all out no matter what, even if you sacrifice yourself, you must destroy the Fisher family!
Darren is no longer afraid of death, and even enjoys the excitement and excitement brought by danger, full of pleasure.
But even if he didn't care about his personal situation, the overall survival of the Fisher family was still something that would make him deeply worried.
Darren couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth subconsciously. Although he was filled with tension deep inside, he also became excited subconsciously, and his whole body trembled paradoxically.
"We must retreat immediately!"
As another head of the Fischer family, Christine gave the command with a heavy tone. Her voice continued to echo deep in everyone's hearts, carrying an unquestionable decision.
What a pity.
The emperor of Qiyao was defeated.
Although he actually reached the upper level of Apocalypse and gained the power to destroy all mortal enemies, he didn't know what ability the Recasting Church used to allow part of the power of the God of Recasting to descend.
Although the power in that divine punishment is only a very small part compared to the god's true body, it is... enough.
Even after arriving at Tianqi and ascending to the throne, Emperor Qiyao has become extremely powerful.
For those false gods, it is still not worth mentioning.
"The pillars of Qiyao Empire have collapsed, and the entire empire cannot support it for long. It can even be said that the situation in the entire Oden continent and even the world of Krad will change dramatically!"
Christine knew that the wisest choice was to preserve her strength in the turbulent moments ahead and ensure the safety of the entire Fisher family.
Just as everyone in the Fisher family was filled with uncertainty and worries about the future, and they immediately started to leave Qiyao Imperial City, the expected figure suddenly appeared in front of them - the Millennium Pope of the Redemption Church.
The old man dressed in white, with a kind face but deep eyes, seemed to step out of the void, carrying an indescribable mysterious power all over his body, instantly shrouding everyone in the Fisher family under a powerful aura.
The appearance of the Pope of Redemption caught everyone in the Fisher family off guard. Christine was suddenly surprised to find that she and others could not move at all, as if they were tightly bound by invisible shackles.
There was an atmosphere of depression and tension in the air, and a deep despair arose in everyone's heart.
The only one who could move was Chris.
But he just remained extremely calm, staring at the sudden appearance of the Redeemer Pope and making no move for the time being.
"Fear not, warriors of the Fisher family."
The voice of the Redeemer Pope was gentle but firm, as if it could penetrate the fog in people's hearts, and said calmly: "I am not here to bring disaster to you, but to guide a path of salvation and hope."
Except for Chris, everyone in the Fisher family and the Dawn Order were struggling. Many people wanted to speak, but found that their voices were also suppressed by invisible forces. They could only stare wide-eyed, full of dissatisfaction. He looked at the Pope with understanding and vigilance.
However, just when a glimmer of hope ignited in the hearts of everyone in the Fisher family and the Dawn Order, and some people even thought that the Pope of Redemption was here to guide them, the Pope's face suddenly became stern and cold.
He spoke slowly, but his voice no longer contained any gentleness and compassion as before, but instead revealed an unquestionable determination.
"But the Fisher family still has the Order of the Dawn. I must tell you a cruel fact."
The Redeemer Pope’s gaze was like a torch, as if it could penetrate everyone’s soul, and he continued:
"You are the enemies of the Redeemer. Your existence is a blasphemy against the will of God. Therefore, I must fulfill my duty and completely eliminate you from this world, leaving no one behind."
"Nothing I do is for personal gain... everything is..."
"For the world."
These words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone in the Fisher family and the Dawn Order to the point of speechlessness. Archibald and several others stared at the Pope with eyes wide open, unable to understand why. The old man who gave them hope just now suddenly turned into the executioner who wanted to destroy them.
Darren sneered, knowing that "giving salvation" and "eliminating" to the other party probably have the same meaning. For this guy, the biggest salvation for all members of the Fisher family is probably...death!
A trace of complicated emotions flashed across the face of the Redeemer Pope, but he soon returned to indifference and determination.
"This is God's will. I can't explain it and I don't need to explain it."
He slowly raised his right hand with the palm upward, as if summoning some mysterious power, and continued: "Everyone of the Fisher family who serves the end, prepare to meet your destiny."
As the words of the Redeemer Pope fell, a powerful energy began to gather around him, and the air was filled with an aura of depression and fear.
Everyone in the Fisher family and the Dawn Order felt that an invisible force was approaching. They tried to struggle, but found that they could not resist it at all.
Father, what are you doing? Aren't you going to take action yet?
Unable to speak, Christine could only look at her father, Chris, with a difficult expression.
Everyone immediately showed fear and began to pray to the great Lord of the Lost, but for some reason, there was no response at all.
It's never been like this before...
The great Lost Lord actually didn't make the slightest response when the most important family members were in danger of life and death. How is this possible?
"No! We can't just give in!"
Darren roared angrily, trying his best to break through the restraints, but in vain, knowing that at this moment, the fate of all of them was already in the hands of the Redeemer Pope.
His thoughts were like a surging ocean, going back to those stormy days - in his memories were the heroic figures of his friends, and the tragic sacrifices of relatives who sacrificed their lives to protect their faith. These memories were like sharp blades, engraved in his heart, and they had always been a source of inspiration. Darren couldn't sleep at night and couldn't eat during the day.
However, it was these heavy memories that forged his determination today!
Retreating will only bring disaster, and the survival of the Fisher family hangs by a thread!
At this moment, Darren's heart surged with unprecedented determination, as if he saw the future of his family.
"Great Lord of the Lost, I am willing to do anything to protect my family and defend our faith!"
He silently made a vow in his heart. It was not just words, but a cry from the depths of his soul. It was the most fearless challenge to fate.
Sequence Transcendents who have reached the fifth ladder have always had the ability to "burn their souls to gain greater power," but few people have actually done so.
Because just by losing life, the soul can still follow the great God, but if even the soul is completely lost...
Darren closed his eyes and felt the ancient power surging in his body. It was the mysterious energy originating from the deepest part of the soul, and it was the power contained in the long steps to ascend to the gods!
Although the time will be very short, he has temporarily reached a level of strength equivalent to the eighth ladder!
That is undoubtedly a qualitative change!
When he opened his eyes again, Darren's eyes were already blazing, as if there were flames jumping in them.
He decided to burn his soul and use this final and purest sacrifice to condense it into an unstoppable torrent!
"Let the flame be the light that illuminates the darkness!"
Darren crooned, his voice soft.
Then he held out his hand.
It immediately attracted the attention of Chris and the Redeemer Pope!
That is the only person who is at the "monarch level" but can still act under the influence of the Redeemer Pope!
Next, Darren used the power of the first step of his Shadow Path, the Scapegoat.
Sequence power...
Scapego!
In an instant, he absorbed all the misfortune of the entire Fisher family and everyone in the Dawn Order onto himself.
All misfortune can be borne by me!
Even the Redeemer Pope was in a daze for a moment, sensing something subtle and strange.
"What's going on..."
For some reason, he wanted to kill Darren Fisher more than annihilating all the believers in the End... It was obviously illogical, but he had this very weird idea deep in his heart.
"Did some mysterious force affect me too? The strength gap between us is so huge, but we can actually do this kind of thing? Very good, this is the weirdness of sequence power."
An indescribable wave of energy surged around him, the air seemed to solidify, and the light became distorted.
Darren's body began to undergo changes, dragon scales appeared faintly under his skin, his eyes flashed with dark red light, and an ancient and powerful breath burst out from his body.
With the deafening roar of the dragon, he completely transformed into a mighty dragon, his scales shimmering with cold light, and a gentle beat of his wings brought up a strong wind.
Chris, who was originally expressionless, suddenly had a smile on his lips, as if he was feeling some kind of relief.
His figure instantly turned into a black shadow and appeared next to the demon dragon in the blink of an eye.
"It's time, Fischer must continue!"
The voice of the magic dragon roared in Chris's ears, with unquestionable determination, and the figure of his father Byrne appeared in his eyes.
Their eyes were simultaneously locked on the Redeemer Pope in the distance. He was surrounded by holy light and seemed to be omnipotent.
"Ignorant Fisher, you have been blaspheming the gods all this time. You serve the most terrifying end. How dare you challenge the authority of God!"
"Unforgivable!"
The voice of the Pope of Redemption was like thunder, echoing between heaven and earth. With a wave of his scepter, countless lights and runes suddenly fell from the sky, trying to trap the dragon and Chris in them.
Darren flapped his wings and flew high, easily avoiding the lights and runes, and at the same time breathed out the fiery dragon's breath, heading towards the Redeemer Pope.
Chris used his teleportation ability to quickly shuttle around the Redeemer Pope, looking for opportunities to kill him with one blow.
Every time he appeared, he was accompanied by a cold light, and his white bones cut through the air like lightning, heading straight for the target.
The Pope of Redemption suddenly showed unprecedented power, a power beyond mortal understanding, as if he himself was a part of heaven and earth, able to mobilize the elements and rules of the universe at will.
The Pope raised his hands high, his eyes flashed with a light that did not belong to mortals, and he chanted an ancient and mysterious mantra.
As the spell sounded, the originally bright stars in the sky suddenly dimmed, dark clouds gathered, and thunder roared, as if the whole world was trembling for his power.
Immediately afterwards, an indescribable wave of energy erupted from the Pope's body and turned into a dazzling golden beam, directly hitting Darren and Chris who were attacking with all their strength.
This golden beam contained destructive power, and even the tough dragon scales of the demon dragon could not withstand it. It was torn apart in an instant, revealing the bloody body inside.
Chris was directly knocked away by this force, rolled several times in the air, and finally fell heavily to the ground, vomiting blood, and was obviously seriously injured.
"This is what happens when you challenge God."
The calm voice of the Redeemer Pope echoed through heaven and earth, full of majesty and unquestionable power.
Darren and Chris raised their heads with difficulty and looked at the Pope who was getting closer and closer. There was no unwillingness or despair in their eyes, but they still did not give up the fight.
Because of the effect of "scapegoating" and the fact that the Redeemer Pope had just used all its strength to deal with Darren and Chris, everyone in the Fisher family and the Order of the Dawn suddenly became able to move and were no longer restrained by that power. .
Even though they were in a desperate situation, they did not give up hope. They added various powers to Chris and Darren, and Archil also completely restored their condition.
Chris and Darren's injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their exhausted bodies regained their vitality.
The Redeemer Pope just watched this scene calmly.
"Do you still want to resist?"
The demon dragon let out a low roar with difficulty, while Chris held the dagger in his hand tightly, his eyes still firm, as if he was ready to make a last ditch effort at any time.
At the critical moment, an unprecedented vision suddenly surged between heaven and earth.
Black mist gathered from all directions, quickly covering the entire battlefield like night, completely swallowing up the holy light of the Redemption Pope.
The thick black mist contains ancient and mysterious power, which makes people feel awe and a sense of inexplicable fear. All the surrounding creatures are aware of this unusual phenomenon.
"Finally...recovered?"
There was a hint of disbelief and horror in the voice of the Redeemer Pope.
"This is... the power of the Lost Lord!"
Darren's voice was full of awe, and he felt a certain connection between himself and this power, as if he was the incarnation of this power and the messenger of the God of Finality in the world.
Chris also felt the baptism of this power, his eyes became sharper, and the white bones in his hands seemed to be given life, shining with a cold light.
He knew that at this moment, everyone was no longer fighting alone, but had the Lost Lord as a strong backing.
Under the impact of this force, the Redeemer Pope's body trembled violently, and his face instantly turned as pale as paper.
"Another seal has been lifted!"
