Chapter 69 The truth! The choice of fate!
The bodies of the dead enemies are melting away.
In front of everyone's eyes, the body of the gray-robed wizard gradually evaporated in the sunlight like squirming mud, leaving almost no trace at all.
"Projection? Clone?"
The night watchmen present looked at the corpses disappearing from the spot, their expressions extremely solemn, because there were no extraordinary relics left on the ground.
They were fooled!
A group of people tracked for a long time, but what they killed was just a projection of the enemy.
At this moment, Xiao En only felt the hairs on his body stand up!
If a projection clone can cast a five-ring spell, how strong is the enemy's real body?
in the sun.
The streets were a mess of blood and horrific corpses were everywhere. In the distance, people's screams of fear and despair could be heard. This was an inhumane massacre. Hundreds of people were killed with just one spell, and no one was spared, regardless of gender, age or status. Ordinary people had almost no power to resist this brutal atrocity.
They were slaughtered mercilessly like livestock!
"Damn beast!" Benjamin lost his composure, which was rare.
He looked at the family of three who had no life left in the Death Cloud Spell, the proprietress who walked out of a shop on the roadside and died suddenly at the door with blood gushing out of all seven orifices the next second, and the teenager who walked out of the alley while playing football not far away and exploded into a pool of minced meat on the spot.
This scene made Benjamin's eyes red, and a deep murderous intent burst out in his eyes.
"team leader?"
"Who is the enemy?"
Xiao En's eyes were also red. As a young man who had received modern education, he might be cold-hearted occasionally, but he absolutely could not accept this kind of massacre of ordinary people.
The difference between the power of extraordinary people and ordinary people is really too great!
Even if it is a newly promoted soldier, if he attacks ordinary people, there is no telling how many innocent people will die.
The two are not on the same level at all, and the extraordinary one is at an absolute advantage.
Benjamin stared at Xiao En in front of him and said slowly: "Gray Whispering Hermitage."
"I don't know who they are either."
“They are from another world.”
Weird country!
These people are extraordinary beings from a weird country!
Xiao En looked up immediately when he heard this, he knew what the captain was talking about.
"In other words, they are all high-level transcendents? Even destiny legends!?" A hint of bitterness emerged at the corners of Xiao En's mouth.
This is a complete crushing of strength.
Ordinary superhumans cannot survive in the weird kingdom, at least only high-level superhumans can gain a foothold there. There are obviously more than one enemy. From the dark blood sacrifice to the appearance of the mistress, the enemies that appear are stronger than each other, and their strength is far greater than that of the Night Watch. If they did not have the home advantage, the situation would have been irreversible long ago.
"The turmoil in the Dre region was masterminded by the Grey Whispering Priory's chapter, the Disaster Bringers."
Daisy's low voice sounded: "I also learned the news today."
"A wise man in the forest was polluted and directly degenerated into a withered one."
The Sage of the Woods is the Archdruid.
Beings of this level would cause earth-shaking movements in the real world with just a stomp of their feet. If even the Archdruid could be corrupted, Sean couldn't imagine how bad the situation would be.
Xiao En murmured, "What are they going to do?"
"Enter the real world just to massacre ordinary people who have no power to resist?"
Sean had to know the answer.
If the night watchman wouldn't tell him, then he would go find someone who could tell him.
Xiao En glanced at the others, his eyes moving slowly across the corpses on the street in front of him. This shocking massacre had completely shattered the real world in his mind.
Temple area.
Xiao En's figure headed straight for the temple. Due to the recent turmoil, there were many more people praying in the temple area than before, but the temple in the real world was meaningless because the demigods of the weird kingdom did not require faith at all.
After he entered the temple, he went straight to a statue of a female deity with three heads, three bodies and six arms, and prayed silently in his heart: "Teacher!"
"I want to see you!"
Inside the temple.
A shining light invisible to the naked eye emerged from the statue of the god with three heads, three bodies and six arms in front of Xiao En. This scene frightened Bishop Rhodes, who was rushing over, so much that he trembled all over. He stood silently at the door of the temple, closed the door tightly, and blocked out all sights from the outside.
Everything in front of him was obscured by the diffuse gray fog. When Xiao En regained consciousness, he had entered a dreamland.
The labyrinth library appeared like an unfolding scroll.
A number of undead banshees, both real and unreal, were busy at work. Right in front of them was a black desk, and Lady Hecate was sitting in front of it.
The lady appeared in old age, with a look of fatigue.
"Teacher." Xiao En bowed his head respectfully.
Lady Hecate looked up at him and said calmly, "You're here. What do you want from me?"
He didn't know if it was Sean's illusion, but he felt that Ms. Hecate's spirituality was a little weak.
Xiao En walked up to the lady and said in a deep voice: "Teacher, do you know what happened to Don?"
Lady Hecate nodded silently.
The demigods of mankind have been paying attention to the real kingdom. They are the watchers standing outside the twelve realms of clock nirvana, and with their status as demigods, these things cannot be hidden from them at all. They can know everything clearly with just a prophecy spell.
Teachers always know what is happening in the real world!
Xiao En took a deep breath and said slowly: "I have a lot of questions and I want to know the answers."
Lady Hecate let out a faint sigh.
After a long while, she said softly, "Ask me."
An undead banshee floated over, holding a book of nothingness that seemed to be non-existent, and gently placed it in front of Lady Hecate. The book had no substance, and the animated words in it were like black mist, or like huge black bubbles.
——《The Key to the Door, the One Where All Things Return to One》!
Xiao En just took a look and felt his eyes stinging with pain.
Ah!
He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, his inspiration was trembling wildly, his whole body was shaking, and he even had difficulty standing. This was not a magic book, but just the knowledge recorded in it about a certain existence was enough to make Sean unable to look directly at it.
Ms. Hecate reached out and wiped away all traces of the book. She gently raised her hand and pointed, eliminating Xiao En's pain. She said in a slightly tired voice, "I was negligent."
Xiao En regained consciousness at this moment.
He was sweating all over, his voice was hoarse, and he looked at the teacher in front of him who looked faintly weak, and hesitantly asked: "Teacher, are you hurt?"
Lady Hecate gave a slight nod.
She whispered, "Eamon."
"The leader of the Grey Whispering Hermitage, a former fire thief, and one of the most powerful destinies of mankind."
"I fought him and got hurt a little."
The Priory of Grey Whispers!
Xiao En raised his head immediately after hearing this and said, "Teacher! What exactly do they want to do?"
The miracle of mankind, the Twelve Realms of Nirvana in the Clock, has always protected the real world very well.
But everything they did was slowly tearing the real world apart. The high-level extraordinary people, and even the legends of destiny, who were supposed to stay in the weird kingdom, all sneaked into the real world.
With the power of these people, they can completely turn the real world upside down!
Lady Hecate sighed, "He wants to force us to open the door." "He tore the gap between reality and illusion, and wanted to usher in a new era."
Open the door?
A new era?
Xiao En seemed to have thought of something in his mind in an instant, and he said in shock: "Teacher, are you saying that he wants to open the door between the real world and the weird kingdom?"
The stars are returning?
Has that time come now?
Have all the old days awakened?
wrong.
The stars have not yet returned to their positions, and the celestial bodies have not yet aligned.
How can the old day wake up?
Ms. Hecate glanced at Sean and whispered, "He wants the real world to return to the realm of weirdness."
"He thinks we are too weak and even thinks that humans are being kept in captivity by us."
"And we suspect that he may have been tainted by the Old Ones."
return?
How many people will die?
And if that was true, then the leader of the Grey Whispering Priory must want more than that. Sean immediately thought of those extraordinary relics that were smuggled into the real world.
In an instant!
Xiao En looked up in astonishment and said, "He wants all humans to be promoted to extraordinary beings?!"
Only in this case is it necessary to open the door.
Ordinary people cannot survive in the weird country, and the only ones who can survive in the end are the powerful extraordinary ones.
But how many crazy and out-of-control people will be born like this?
"Yes," Lady Hecate nodded calmly.
Xiao En felt his scalp tingling instantly.
If the door between the real world and the weird kingdom is fully opened, it means that all of humanity will enter a battle royale mode. Although countless extraordinary people will emerge, no one knows how many people will die in the end.
"Why did he do this?" Xiao En asked in a deep voice.
Lady Hecate said calmly, "He predicted the future."
"If we don't gather the strength of all mankind and give it a try, just like in the Dark Ages, when the Old Pillars awaken again, the Twelve Realms of Clockwork Nirvana will be shattered, and mankind will be extinct and become history."
“He believed in the future he saw.”
“So he’s going to uncover the truth about reality and open the door to the weird kingdom.”
This is simply using human lives to counteract God's will!
This is what happened in the Dark Ages. At the cost of hundreds of millions of human lives, thousands of legends were created to fight against the destiny of the old days!
Xiao En seemed to see a real sea of blood and corpses. He had read about the Dark Ages and he knew how many people died in that era!
If this is done, many people will die, but thousands of powerful extraordinary people will also emerge.
With reality shattered, ordinary people will no longer be protected by their ignorance.
After a long time.
Xiao En whispered, "If the door is really opened, how much will it cost humanity?"
The female voice of Hecate took a deep breath and slowly uttered two words.
"half."
Half the population?!
Xiao En's expression was a little hard to accept.
According to the total population of the real world, that is more than 300 million. Half of the population of the countries in the twelve realms will die, and then the remaining people will be qualified to embark on the path of transcendence.
Among the half of the population that were abandoned, most were the elderly, the weak, women and children.
Ignorance is the last barrier of sanity!
If this barrier is also torn apart, human beings will have to feel the madness of the world.
Eamon is a true radical.
He wants to put the fate of all mankind at risk and give it a try, recreating the experience of the Dark Ages with the most brutal mode of survival of the fittest, so that more legends of destiny and even new human demigods will emerge among humans.
There is no way to calculate how many people will die in the end. Perhaps to him, human lives are just a string of numbers, a renewable resource that can be consumed.
Ms. Hecate looked at Xiao En and whispered, "If you were an ordinary person with a life span of only a few decades, would you like to live a quiet life in the real world? Or would you like to enter the weird kingdom and learn the truth about the world?"
Xiao En fell silent after hearing this.
He didn't know how to choose.
Because not many people can make it to the end of the extraordinary road.
"Is that why the real world is so chaotic?" Xiao En murmured.
Lady Hecate nodded, "Yes."
"He stirred up unrest in the Twelve Realms, forcing us to give in and usher in a new extraordinary era."
This will kill a lot of people.
Conservatives believe that humans still need to recuperate and slowly accumulate strength, while radicals believe that it is time for humans to step out of their comfort zone and give it a try.
If humans continue to be kept in captivity, they will be lambs to be slaughtered!
No one can be sure that Aamon's prophecy is definitely wrong. After all, he was once a fire thief, albeit a fire thief of three monster paths: demon, devil, and demon.
And if his Twelve-Ring Prophecy is true, humans may miss the final chance to turn the tables.
As the Old Pillars awaken, the world will be shattered once again.
The doomsday disaster caused by the turmoil of the laws alone is enough to easily kill hundreds of millions of people.
The real world is the bargaining chip on the table.
Including the turbulent Dorne.
Those extraordinary people from the weird kingdom are different from the night watchmen. They accept the cruelest and most real reality.
Perhaps those ordinary people who died were just necessary sacrifices in their eyes.
After all, they were planning on sacrificing half of humanity to return to the Kingdom of Weirdness.
The clash between demigods will determine the fate of all mankind, whether to continue to recuperate or to usher in a new extraordinary era.
In the weird country, ordinary people are not qualified to choose their own destiny.
Among those high and mighty demigods, only a few truly care about the lives of ordinary people. Most of them are still considering the gains and losses of human life as a renewable resource.
From the perspective of racial continuation, they are not wrong, but from the perspective of ordinary people, this is really too cruel.
Humanity is standing at a crossroads of destiny.
It’s so difficult to choose!
………………
(PS: In the eyes of others, Xiao En's talent has the potential to become a demigod, so the butcher hopes that Xiao En can retain his humanity.
Because after losing their humanity, the lives of countless mortals are just numbers.)
Tomorrow is a big chapter of 5,000 words.
