Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

"Obviously, he has changed his mind, and this does not seem like a move to protect people."

Su Zhou raised his eyebrows: "It is the will of the empire... I heard Aharonov and some people say it."

"really."

Ilovitz's expression was obviously a little decadent, but he still cheered up and informed Su Zhou of the details about the empire's will.

Initially, before Asmodai XIII became the Sun Emperor, he, Michal and Aharonov pondered for several years to solve the problem of the extinguishing of the Holy Sun, and finally decided to give up everything and stay in Egypt. An's plan is to step into the void and go to other worlds.

This is a very bold move, but it can bring better possibilities and future to all sentient beings. After all, we have to face the end of the world, so why not just change the world once and for all?

The trio decided to take a gamble.

The source of the Blood Divine Tree, the Burning Spirit Secret Technique and the Blood Secret Technique were all improved at that time.

Going to other worlds in the void requires an unimaginable amount of energy. This is not difficult for the Burning Spirit powerhouse, but what is difficult is how to protect many people and take them through the turbulence of time and space.

Obviously, the bodies of ordinary people are too heavy and too fragile, and it is simply impossible to carry them through to other worlds.

After making the choice, retaining the soul and abandoning the body is naturally the only choice.

However, even though the world of Aian is a world with incredibly dense spiritual energy, the soul is not something that can be condensed easily - if you are not careful, a half-hearted soul will be infected by source energy and become a demon, or even Monster.

The will of the empire is the means that came into being to solve this problem.

——Since the people have no souls, then the emperor will give them——

"With the souls of me, Michal, and Aharonov, two burning spirits, and a strong man in disaster situations as the core, we will continuously absorb spiritual energy, create ownerless spiritual matter, and give it to many residents. They are a 'temporary soul'."

"Just as the sun shines on the earth and the land shines with light, the residents of the empire will become soul condensers."

Although there was no ups and downs in his tone when he said this, Su Zhou could sense the pride in Ilovitz's heart.

In fact, this is something to be proud of.

The man couldn't help but nodded and exclaimed: "The empire distributes souls? This is actually the prerequisite for national practice. If the Asmodai Empire can really do this, then the end of the world may really greatly promote technology. Development - it’s the same on the other side of the earth, but not as radical and urgent.”

"But obviously, this plan failed." He said.

"Yes." Ilovic couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It is not difficult to create souls, and it does not take much time. However, the results of the trial run were not ideal - the first batch of mobile urban residents who were given souls all turned into Demonizers, and irresistibly turned into human demons who fight and devour each other... Since then, we have realized that the curse of source energy may be more terrifying than we imagined. The will of the world hates us, whether it is the Holy Spirit or not. The sun, the devilish moon, or the air are all leading us to a dead end..."

"If a person without talent gets a soul, the result is tantamount to murder. This road is blocked, but we have found another way. Since the souls distributed will be polluted, we might as well cut our own souls and lend them to all living beings, so that we can become stronger His soul turned into a barrier to protect the memories and thoughts of all people. After arriving in the universe without source energy, he condensed his wisdom to create souls and gave birth to all living beings again."

——This is the way of the sacred tree.

Su Zhou was keenly aware of this. Although the method and appearance were much different, in essence, it was very similar to the process of divine trees traveling to other worlds to reproduce.

Before the original sacred tree went to other worlds, in order to bring the seeds of many lives, it must have made many choices, just like the imperial trio in the past.

The act of creating an ecosystem in a different world is essentially similar to recreating a familiar world.

"It's just that it still failed."

Su Zhou said calmly: "What happened? From what you said, the Sun Emperor seemed to be a good person at the beginning? How did he become such a stinky person now?"

"...It didn't fail. It's just that the plan of the empire's will was halfway through and it didn't continue to be implemented."

Iroviz knelt on one knee, and he leaned over to touch the seemingly filthy flesh and blood on the ground. His expression was sad, as if it was his own fault: "He did give the spiritual essence and protected the residents of the empire, but In turn, the thoughts and wills of all the inhabitants of the empire have become a part of him, making him immortal."

"The infection rate of demonized people in the empire is much lower than that of people in other regions. Even if they exist, they are strictly supervised. That's why."

The gray-haired knight stood up. He looked at Su Zhou and said softly: "The plan is still being implemented. The Tower of Babel is emitting the light of control into the Holy Sun to communicate with the remaining power within it."

"The Holy Sun will be extinguished in the future. In this case, before we leave the world, it is better to activate it to its short-term peak, illuminate the void, and help us choose the world - and the Soul-Burning Torch will burn violently because of this, making the sun The Emperor possesses the power to temporarily surpass the gods."

"Theoretically, at that time, we will leave the world of Aian, and those who want to stay can continue to stay... But now it seems that Michal wants to stay temporarily, he always says 'prepare' It’s not enough, but I don’t know what he is going to prepare!”

what to prepare? Of course, prepare fuel.

At this moment, Su Zhou understood everything.

What the Sun Emperor wants to do is definitely not to simply leave the world of Aian and find a suitable new world to live in - his ambition is definitely big enough that four hundred years later, he will set the entire world of Aian on fire. After all, it turned into smoke and dust in the void before setting off.

What exactly he did during these four hundred years cannot be known even by perfect deduction.

But Su Zhou didn't have to guess at all. As a demon eater, his experience after eating countless evil souls allowed him to easily deduce what the Sun Emperor was doing: the other party must have been continuously using the will of the empire to create souls in the past four hundred years. , mass-produce alternative soul aggregations like the Blood Sacred Tree, and then harvest them as crops to hoard an incredible amount of souls.

Even if the Blood Sacred Tree is not complete, it is still a Sacred Tree in the final analysis. So many Sacred Trees have been continuously spawned in four hundred years, and eventually the entire world has been eaten up. Is there any wonder in this?

Whether they are friends, residents of the empire, all living beings on the continent of Aian, or even the entire world of Aian, they are all tools used by the Sun Emperor to achieve his own goals.

"You can't leave him alone."

Su Zhou's fist hardened, and he clicked his tongue: "Kill this guy as soon as possible, otherwise the longer this guy lives, the more people will suffer."

Su Zhou did not lower his voice, and Iloviz also heard him muttering to himself, so the knight stood up, shook his head cautiously and said: "You can't kill him. I said that the Sun Emperor is immortal."

"Through the will of the empire, he is already the incarnation of the entire Asmodai Empire. The empire is immortal. Even if you destroy the physical body and the mind-light body, a new Sun Emperor will be born again from the thoughts of all the people of the empire. .”

Su Zhou didn't reply because he heard something in Ilovitz's words.

Sure enough, after a pause, the knight took a step forward, and his momentum began to recover, even becoming more fiery than when he flew towards the Xiguang Mountains.

"I want to ask a question."

Originally, because of the betrayal of his friend, Iloviz's eyes dimmed, but now, the knight's eyes began to burn with a dark golden light: "Sveteri of Xiguang, what exactly are you going to do to this world? And why are you doing this? Do this?"

"What should I do?"

Su Zhou glanced at Iloviz, and he shook his head: "Don't you have eyes and ears? What I do is all in the north, in the Xiguang Mountains and Yanshuang Territory, in the inheritance hall of the Far North Icefield. .You obviously know this, why are you asking me?"

"What I want to do is to let everyone be free to choose their own life, everyone can get their own meaning, everyone is equal to everyone, there will be no more suffering and torture in the world, and every day will be better than yesterday. .”

"As for why I do this."

After saying this, he raised his head and stared at the holy sun in the sky, and even the countless universes in the sky above the sky.

"Because time is flowing, because life is being born."

"Because a better tomorrow is out there and I can 'imagine' it, so I'm going to make it happen."

"……so good."

The knight stared at Su Zhou with envy. He couldn't help but repeat: "That's great... As expected of Xiguang, your answer is better than I imagined..."

He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the hilt of the sword. After admiring it, Ilovitz couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if you could have appeared earlier...Aharonov doesn't have to go against his own nature to catch He will not arrest those demonized people that he sympathized with back then, but he will not massacre the residents of the empire who should not have died, nor should they have rebelled, nor will he die in front of you."

"And you also have another way to save the world. I know that the fire-burning sacred tree will shine in the world again. It is better, more humane, and more..."

At this point, he seemed to be at a loss for words, but soon, Ilovitz found an appropriate word.

"More filled with love."

"This way, I won't have a reason to fight you."

Su Zhou glanced at the opponent's hand that was already holding the hilt of the sword. He shook his head slightly: "It's not too late now. You may have many shortcomings, but at least you are a good person worth saving."

"Well, although it's a bit inappropriate and a bit silly, you don't even have a curse on you. You are indeed a good person."

The main reason why Su Zhou was willing to talk so much to Ilovitz was because of this.

The first knight of the empire was the strongest and purest 'good guy' he had ever seen in the world of Aian.

There is no resentment on his body, and his enemies never hate him. The people love him, and his colleagues respect him. Even the Sun Emperor, the guy who seems to be using him, doesn't feel bad about Ilovitz.

What kind of person do you have to be to have such a pure soul?

The answer is actually very simple.

Just stay the same as dusk and do nothing.

"It's just that I think you might rather be a bad person than such a good person." This was Su Zhou's conclusion.

Then, he was shocked to see that the knight in front of him, who was holding the hilt of his sword tightly and seemed about to draw his sword to fight, was crying silently just because of a word.

Big drops of tears fell from the corners of Ilovitz's closed eyes, but he was smiling. It could be seen that the old Burning Spirit Powerful laughed at himself: "Yes, that's it - I went there I didn’t do anything, I didn’t become a marshal who could restrain Michal, I didn’t become a powerful minister who could check and balance the emperor, I didn’t fight for control of the empire’s will—this was my biggest mistake.”

"How can I place my trust in human nature and believe that a person will never change and will always be as high-spirited, kind and respectable as when he was young?"

Su Zhou stared at the tears dripping from the corners of Iroviz's eyes and onto the ground covered by the remains of the flesh and blood sacred tree in the mobile city. He saw that the majestic source energy contained in the tears purified and volatilized the flesh and blood in an instant, and there were storms and Thunder exploded in the mist of tears.

He did not despise the other party because of his crying. On the contrary, Su Zhou understood it better than anyone else.

——When a man starts crying unbridled, he no longer cares about anyone else's eyes.

He just cried for himself and regretted the mistakes of his life - he was not fragile or vulnerable, but had completely lost his restraints, lost the reason for stagnation, and was determined.

——So, cry when you are sad.

Then.

Su Zhou saw the knight pull out the long sword from his waist - a dark golden long sword made entirely of souls and condensed with the shining soul of light of Ilovitz!

——So, if you want to fight, you will fight.

On the corpse of the flesh-and-blood sacred tree, two strong men faced off. Ilovitz drew out the long sword in his hand. That was his heart light body, his soul, and his will! A magical weapon with endless divine light flowing in it, forged to cut off injustice and injustice.

The celestial phenomena have begun to change, and the source energy has begun to change due to a strong man's move, causing storms and thunder to be born in the sudden clouds. Ilovitz's voice sounded in the wind, with a rumbling sound like thunder. .

"Xiguang's Svetre!"

"In front of you is Iroviz, the son of Belgrade, the conqueror of all directions, the first knight of the empire!"

"Kill me, and there will be no one to protect the Sun Emperor. The empire will fall apart. The nobles will question the authority of the empire and no longer obey the emperor's orders. The Sun Emperor's actions will also be greatly stagnated."

"Kill me, the pillar of the Sun Emperor will fall, the pillar of the empire's will, and my burning soul will collapse - he will gain greater authority, gain more power, and become the sole host of the empire's will. But because of this, he will have a short-term flaw, and he is no longer immortal and can be killed!"

The knight raised his sword in front of him, and his voice sounded like a sigh, but louder than thunder. He did not make any move, but with just a move of will, a shining thunder light that was so bright that it could destroy a city fell from the sky.

The speeding thunder is like an excuse, containing the power that would make people shy away from ordinary disasters. The atmosphere where it passes is blazing, and the plasma falls like rain, turning into a heavy rain that can burn the entire mobile city.

Ilovitz's purpose of flying all the way was finally revealed.

He came here to seek death, to redeem his mistakes at the cost of his own life.

As one of the creators of the Empire's Will, and another Burning Spirit in the trio, the Knight's existence itself represents part of the "Imperial Will" - in order not to compete for the glory of Asmodai XIII, he Choose not to be an official, not to hold a military position, not to become a noble, not to restrict any of the emperor's actions.

This choice proved to be wrong. There will always be a time when a person slides into the abyss. At this time, a friend needs to lend a hand to help him, and the Sun Emperor obviously did not suffer any retention in the process of his fall.

His friends believed him so much that he couldn't even tell he was wrong.

But even so, Ilovitz is still an important part of the Empire's will, which speaks volumes about his importance.

How can I stop my former friend's crazy plan? In a head-on battle, Ilovitz doesn't think he can defeat the Sun Emperor, who is also a Burning Spirit and has higher imperial will authority. Moreover, if he is killed by the Sun Emperor, his authority will be plundered by the opponent on the spot, and even There won't be any weakness at all.

He must tell the truth to another strong man who has nothing to do with the empire's will, and kill himself with his own hands.

Ilovitz did think so and did so. He was attacking Su Zhou now just to give the other party a reason to fight him.

Similarly, fighting is also a test to test whether the opponent has the power to defeat himself and the Sun Emperor who is stronger than himself - only those who fight with all their strength and win can truly save the world and let All living beings in Aian have a future.

"Too arrogant."

But Ilovitz got one thing wrong.

That means he chose the wrong person when he said this.

At this moment, the knight who pulled out the sword of light suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe.

It's not air. The burning spirit powerhouse no longer needs air. The feeling of suffocation comes from the source energy. The gray-haired knight suddenly realized in shock that with himself as the center, within a radius of five thousand kilometers or even larger, all sources Energy began to surge and roar, and began to gather in one direction.

——Not my own direction.

"Too arrogant."

The thunder that fell from the sky suddenly dissipated into nothingness, as if it had never appeared.

A voice sounded in front of him. The surging source energy should have driven away all the surrounding air and turned the atmosphere into a vacuum, but this voice unreasonably crossed all media directly, using spiritual energy and soul as the carrier, and slammed into Ilovitz's mind: "How dare you say that?!"

The knight opened his eyes wide and looked at the figure of the white-haired old man in front of him. There, a giant shield was condensing into shape. A bright light that was more dazzling than the sun condensed in the center of the shield. Then, it became like this. Getting bigger and bigger...

Until his eyes!

boom! ! ! !

The extremely strong shield now turned into an indestructible hammer, directly hitting Ilovitz's body.

"You're worthy enough to say you want to die in front of me?!"

Su Zhou's expression was cold and terrifying at the moment, and his red pupils were burning with a light scarier than blood: "Are you worthy of escaping your responsibilities!?"

At this moment, in the sky, the clouds surged into tides, and then turned into dragons and snakes that curled together. Four giant dragons condensed into sacred trees, and then turned into a heart-light body like a giant hand holding up the sky. Just like that With incredible power attached to the giant shield, he blasted it at the knight!

In an instant, the knight who was knocked away was faster than the meteor, and a roaring humanoid tried to stop his retreat.

But no matter how hard he tried to prevent himself from flying out, he still turned into a star shining in the sky at a speed of 170,000 meters per second.

"This is the duty I have chosen!"

But soon, the knight who turned into a star returned faster than before. His whole body turned into a flowing dark golden light, and completely transformed into a spiritual state. Only the sword in his hand was clearly visible, like an entity: " Death is the meaning of my remaining life!”

But roaring was of no use, and anger was of no use in the world of extraordinary beings, especially since the power Ilovitz faced was so unreasonable.

Facing his anger, Su Zhou responded with barrage.

Thunder, light flow, electromagnetic cannon, and blades condensed by strong winds, all kinds of attacks occupied the entire sky in an instant, filling the knight's perspective.

On the way back, the lightsaber in Ilovitz's hand was flying. The knight used extremely superb skills to cut through all the energy concentration points. The speed of his sword swing was almost as fast as light, and in one thousandth of a second He broke through all the offensives within 7,500 meters in front of him, blocking all the pursuing storms and thunders, as well as the torrent of electromagnetic guns penetrating towards him.

At this speed, even if it were three thousand rounds per second, each shot would travel at a speed of two hundred thousand meters per second, and the electromagnetic gun warhead that struck at six hundred times the speed of sound would be as weak as a child's slingshot.

The first knight of the empire is indeed worthy of his reputation. The sword in his hand has simply reached the limit of his skills. No matter how ferocious the attack, no matter how fast the shot, he will block or even counterattack. The high-frequency shaking storm blade is struck by him like a Unbuttoning the buttons dissociated into a gentle breeze, and the ultra-high-speed kinetic energy artillery shells, which were better than the combined bombardment of all fleets in the entire empire, were directly lifted away and hit the surrounding land, splashing countless magma, making the rock formations look like cookies. broken.

Even the light, the blazing beam of light, was predicted by him, and he either absorbed it or flew it away with the glow sword in his hand.

Extremely skilled.

However, what he has to face is source energy that has also reached its limit.

At this moment, Su Zhou stood in mid-air. The mobile city under his feet had been pressed directly into the ground by the fluctuations emanating from his body. The entire city and the surrounding earth's rock crust were constantly spreading and collapsing, like a huge abyss. In this way, the cracks reveal golden-red lava deep underground.

However, the brilliance around Su Zhou was even more dazzling - the materialized source energy even condensed into a viscous liquid, and finally condensed into crystals, solidifying into a giant crystal tree behind him.

In an ultra-high-pressure environment, solids can flow like liquids, and invisible source energy can also condense into entities. "Form" has lost its meaning. It is a truth defined by human beings using their own subjective standards.

With the power of the sacred tree and the terrifying source energy density of the Aian world.

At this moment, Su Zhou used another body to transcend the constraints of the Tao of Sexuality and the boundaries of the Tao of Spirits. He possessed something that only the Shenmu clan could possess, hundreds or thousands of times more powerful than those at the same level. of source energy reserves.

And, instantaneous output capability.

Raising his hand, he spoke.

"Who allowed you to die?"

"Are you worthy of sacrifice?"

Then, Su Zhou waved his shield like a heavy hammer. He struck the shield in front of him mercilessly. He managed to overcome many obstacles and came to the knight in front of him. After beating him into a daze, he added The second shield smash!

Click! In an instant, the entire mobile city that was sinking into the earth collapsed. The mobile city made of steel and solid rock collapsed into countless fragments as if it was struck by the combination of heaven and earth. And in this dust and rocks flying all over the sky, In the rain, Ilovitz, who had no time to attack Su Zhou, was pressed into the earth's crust by the force falling from the sky.

He was like a nail, driven into the mantle of the earth by a shield, and went straight into the ground for a hundred thousand meters!

"What...what the hell?!"

The dark golden light condensed all over his body kept vibrating. Although he was a little unconscious after being beaten, it could even be said that he was a little confused, but Ilovitz, who was still falling deep into the ground, subconsciously thought of a ridiculous thought. Incomparable thoughts.

"Sveteri is saying he won't let me die..."

"But now isn't this just hitting me with enough force to kill me?!"
