Chapter 268 Curtain call!

"He fought against five guards alone, plus Li Muxuan. He is indeed the man who got the Dark Lord's script."

In the royal city, Wang Yuanjing stood on the void, looking at the people fighting below, and exclaimed in admiration.

He likes this perspective more and more.
With the help of the Ghost Shadow Step, except for Feng Baobao's dog nose, ordinary people cannot detect his presence at all.

It's like a giant fiddling with a sandbox.

In the sandbox, there is a man in a black robe wearing a red mask who is particularly eye-catching - Stephen White.

The genius of the Emerald Society, the traitor of the Society, and the master of the dark arts.
This person has too many names.
However, the Emerald Society, which was the official force of European alchemists, was not an alchemist, and he himself had never called himself so.

This is because this person is a complete wizard supremacist.

To outsiders, the relationship between alchemy and magic seems complicated, but there is one thing that is very clear between the two.

According to historical books, alchemy is a chemical philosophical thought and ancestor in the Middle Ages and the prototype of modern chemistry.

Although in this world, alchemy has been added with a spoonful of extraordinary elements, it still has the same flavor as modern science.
Few scientists are believers in bloodline theory. Scientific thinking is mostly dialectical. Even if they will not deny the role of genes in the growth process, they will not deny the influence of hard work and circumstances on a person.

Likewise, most wizard supremacists would not call themselves alchemists.

"Chaotic life."

Wang Yuanjing looked down and saw that in a short period of time, Stephen White had used several types of magic from different schools at the same time.

If this method were used in China, it would probably be no less powerful than the Eight Great Skills, and at least be at the level of Samadhi True Fire.

Human energy is limited, and most people's talents may only be able to study one skill in their lifetime.
Not to mention that many abilities conflict with each other in concept.
The most typical example is some innate extraordinary people. Take Feng Shayan for example. She can't learn the family tradition of summoning spirits and sending generals.
“However, there are still flaws. It seems that in order to use these capabilities, some kind of switching is required, and the capabilities are not compatible.

"The most obvious feature is the changing facial expressions of this guy. To be more precise, it should be the transformation of the 'body' under the mask.

"By fusing and controlling souls, and using the abilities of the soul itself, only one person can be fused at a time. However, as long as the switch is fast enough and the 'driver' has enough combat experience, the corresponding abilities can be used in various situations.

“In addition, Stephen White’s own magical attainments are not simple. According to Alfonso, being able to maintain a phantom for more than five seconds at a time is something that only someone at Victor Taber’s level can do. In theory, he is the Western equivalent of an old Taoist priest.

“I just don’t know if there is a limit to the means of this chaotic life. If even someone like Taber can be integrated, it would be a bit scary.

"This is equivalent to Feng Zhenghao's spirit-binding and general-controlling Zuo Ruotong, Zhang Huaiyi, and the old Heavenly Master."

Although Wang Yuanjing was not happy with this method in his heart, he always took the path of taking all the power for himself, but it was undeniable that the upper limit of each skill was very high.

And Stephen White, a famous black magician in the Western supernatural world, would never have thought that there was someone above him at this moment and his background had been thoroughly examined.

At this time, he broke through the encirclement of several Nasen guards and Li Muxuan and rushed into the royal city.

"I can't get in here! You guys should fly over here!"

Li Muxuan looked at the black-robed man's flying speed and couldn't help but speak anxiously.

There is Alfonso's magic circle of light in the royal city. Only a small number of authorized people can enter. Obviously, he is not on this list.

"Anthony! You go straight there! Wu and Gu Na stay here! Garcia and I will go in and find him!"

Alfonso spoke rapidly, then rushed in following the black-robed man.

Looking at what was happening below, Wang Yuanjing was a little hesitant.

Want to take action?

According to the development of the plot, Stephen White is just a flash in the pan, and even if he does not take action, it will not affect the outcome.

Right now, the entire royal city is under the surveillance of Behemoth. If he makes too much noise, he will probably be exposed to their sight in advance, which is contrary to his expectations.

After much deliberation, Wang Yuanjing decided to wait and see what happens.

Stephen White didn't come out unscathed from facing so many people at the same time, so if anything unexpected happened, he should be able to intervene in time.

It just so happened that he had some things that needed this guy's help to verify.

Changing his vision, Wang Yuanjing arrived above the sacred tree, looking down from above.

This action created a sharp contrast with the gods and people on the island. Those who were fortunate enough to meet the sacred tree would all be grateful for its great virtue. How could they be as high and mighty as him?

And Stephen White below solemnly took off his mask, revealing a weathered face.

His long white hair stood up, and his features were strong, which was the style of the British region. He looked to be about 40 to 50 years old.
He became famous ten years ago. As the supreme wizard, he was defeated by the armed forces of ordinary people, and was depressed for ten years.
It is extraordinary that we can still maintain such strength today.

"Amazing! This is the core of Nathan, and it affects everyone on this island"

Stephen White reached out and touched the trunk of the sacred tree, his eyes filled with tears.

For someone like him, great witchcraft creations like the sacred tree are enough to make him fanatical.

"I want to protect it! I want to protect it with you! I can't tolerate it falling into the hands of those greedy inferior creatures!"

He came back to his senses, and the ether in his palm suddenly poured out. "Wandless Annihilation Spell!"

Unexpectedly, Stephen White turned against them and destroyed the sacred tree.

"But I can't accept being defeated by those inferior creatures again! I'm sorry, King!"

The genuine sadness on the black magician's face told everyone that he was not acting.

In his opinion, once the sacred tree was destroyed by Behemoth, it would be a huge blow to the wizard civilization, so he wanted to destroy the sacred tree with his own hands.

However, facing the destroyed sacred tree, King Nathan and the guards around her looked indifferent.

Then, a horrifying scene appeared.

After the sacred tree was destroyed, its huge root system was exposed under the ground where it was originally planted.
Wang Yuanjing, standing in the air, stared closely at the roots underground. His eyesight, which had been greatly enhanced after returning to the void, penetrated through them and went straight to the essence.

“Sure enough, it’s here.”

Wang Yuanjing looked at the scene expressionlessly, and a guess in his mind was finally confirmed.

"Shashasha~"

Not long after, the roots under the ground began to radiate powerful vitality, and the sacred tree that was destroyed by the "Annihilation Curse" actually grew again, exactly the same as it was at the beginning.

At the same time, a branch shining with golden light fell next to Stephen White.

"Pick it up, pick it up."

A series of whispers echoed in Wang Yuanjing's mind. Until now, the sacred tree still had not given up its original idea.

impossible!
Wang Yuanjing responded.

It is impossible to be King Nathan. No one would tie himself to a chariot that is about to be annihilated.

The sacred tree, having been rejected once again, disappeared once again, and the light of the golden branches on the ground also dimmed.

"The tree gave birth to a gifted son of God. In exchange, the tree called upon the son of God to have a certain strong quality and to serve the tree for the rest of his life.

"When the Son of God, who possesses the quality of 'sacrifice', accepts the call of the tree
"The loyal Iron Guards and the selfless Holy King were born, and an ideal country that only belongs to the 'gifted' was built."

There was a hint of sarcasm in the black magician's eyes.

Such a country seemed extreme even to a wizard supreme like him.

"You deserve to be rejected by the world! In the country you have built, there is no place for those rabble and greedy people."

Listening to Stephen White's statement, Wang Yuanjing couldn't help but feel emotional.

There is a reason why Nathan Island was eliminated by history.
From Stephen White's perspective, those mortals are a mob and are all greedy.

But in his opinion, greed or laziness is precisely one of the sources of human progress.

Even though he has always been pursuing the path of "immortality", it does not mean that he will completely deny modern society.

Wang Yuanjing is well aware of the potential these ordinary people have.
Compared with the very few extraordinary people, scientific and rational modern civilization is the crystallization of all people and is more beneficial to everyone. The fate of ordinary people is not controlled by those solidified extraordinary forces. Such a social form gives every ordinary person more choices and makes every ordinary life more vibrant and has more possibilities.

This is the answer chosen by history - after all, extraordinary people are not the mainstream of this world. Those who dominate this world are the masses who do not possess the so-called "qualifications".

And the so-called sacrifice of Nathan Island.
What is sacrificed is the vitality of ordinary gods and people to nourish the sacred tree, and what is sacrificed is the free will of the gifted.

This kind of sacrifice kills the driving force of civilization progress
For thousands of years, the kingdom has been killing for the throne, and the completely unrestrained people of God only worship the power of the individual. It was like this a thousand years ago, and it will be like this a thousand years later.
In the past, it was not like today, which was always the complaint of the incompetent.
Compared with the rapidly changing modern society, it is inevitable that Nasen Island will be eliminated by history.

Even he, even the old Heavenly Master.
Standing here, I can only save him temporarily, but not for his entire life.

The power of the individual is still too fragile in the face of the general trend.

"Perhaps this is the fundamental reason why the immortals disappeared."

A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Wang Yuanjing's eyes.

"boom!"

With a gunshot, Stephen White fell in front of the sacred tree.

King Nathan took a step forward, opened his arms, and spoke with compassion:

"O tree! I offer you the 'King of Candidates', please accept it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful vitality suddenly burst out from the ground, and tree roots devoured the black magician's body.

This black magician who is notorious in the Western supernatural world and can stop children from crying at night
This is the end!
