When the nightmare of the old world dissipates and dawn comes, the real world is also welcoming the first rays of sunlight after the chaos has subsided, and the chaos storm that once blocked the five continents quickly retreats back into the depths of Karnos, and even the ancient continent of Kanaan, which has been fallen for thousands of years, is revealed—revealing the ancient ruins that have been completely twisted and mutated, as well as all kinds of bizarre and lifeless landscapes.The whole world is like snow under the sun, the snow melts before it is revealed in the continent of Ansu, the capital of the Kingdom of Talos, White City, King Rudolf III is listening to the ministers' reports in a side hall of the Golden Rose Palace, his two daughters sit beside him, and the Grand Duke of Lune sits on another chair not far away.The "light eclipse" phenomenon that plagued one-third of the city has not faded over time, and it seems that as scholars say, the powerful explosion of divine power has permanently changed the space-time structure around the Sunburn Tower, so that most of the Golden Rose Palace is still not very suitable for habitation, and the royal family has chosen another location as the new Golden Rose Palace to sit in, but before the end of this major project, the king has to continue to perform his duties in this side hall.There was a solemn atmosphere in the palace, and it was clear that the discussion was of great importance.General Grohn was speaking: "Your Majesty, news has been sent back from the borders from all over the country, confirming that the forces of Chaos have completely retreated to the Sea of Karnos, and it seems that the information that the 'Chaos Tide has terminated early' is accurate. ”"According to the laws of history, the tides of chaos will last for ten years at a time, and even if there are changes, it is only a little more, this is the basic law of the operation of the Sea of Karnos," the scholar Alfred held the ancient scroll in his hand, and his voice was not loud, but with the help of magic, it still resounded through the palace, "The fact of early termination is incredible, and we have observed many strange changes......"
Rudolf III motioned to the scholar with his eyes to continue."
We have observed that the forces of Chaos did not stop after retreating into the Sea of Karnos, but continued to decline and dissipate, and are now completely unobservable - whereas in the past, even when the tides of Chaos ended, they could have been detected in the depths of Karnos through observation facilities such as the Tower of the Mystic Method; In addition, we observed several powerful energy oscillations in the Sanctuary, and the order barrier of the Sanctuary completely disappeared for a time, but in the last energy oscillation, its barrier was re-lit, and the light of Asuman reappeared in view; Finally, there was a report from astrologers, who reported that they had briefly observed a large fissure in the starry sky with an unknown body, and there was a starlight twinkling in the fissure, and unknown stars could be observed. ”The three major pieces of information announced by the old bachelor immediately caused a whispered discussion in the main hall, and the information revealed by the first two major pieces of information made it easy for the ministers present to think of some things, but the fact that they had struggled for countless generations in the nightmare cycle made them dare not expect this at all, so they could only discuss it like this, hoping that others could give them some optimistic confidence.Rudolf III interrupted these discussions with two light coughs: "Ahem, be quiet.What do you think of these phenomena?
”"Your Majesty, the chaos is receding, it is obvious, and it is completely fading in an unprecedented way," the scholar's cloudy eyes lit up at this moment, "and we have reason to look at this matter with the utmost optimism—it has completely receded. ”"Father, I also have a report," Veronica also stood up, "Since half a month ago, the Annihilation Cultists have been operating around the border and the kingdom to carry out sabotage, but yesterday, all sabotage activities suddenly stopped, and those cultists also disappeared like evaporation from the world.The spies I sent out found traces of spontaneous combustion in some of the cultists' secret ritual sites, and considering that no one witnessed the cultists escaping, I would venture to speculate that the cultists had been completely wiped out of this world due to the disappearance of the forces of chaos. ”There was another commotion in the hall, and Rudolf III glanced solemnly at the ministers.There were a few nobles who were supposed to be present who were not present, and at least two of those who were not present had a lot to do with the Annihilation Sect.Thinking of the situation mentioned by Veronica, the old king's face turned grim.Grand Duke Lu supported his forehead with his hand: "Just half a month ago, we were still facing the darkest and desperate situation in the world of order, and every country seemed to have reached the end of its existence, I really can't imagine what caused the sudden end of chaos......
What's really going on in the Sanctuary?
”As soon as the Grand Duke's words fell, a herald suddenly ran in, and the whispers in the hall were instantly quiet.It was the king's herald, a herald who would only break into the palace without notice in case of an emergency!
The herald came to the throne and handed over a piece of information to Rudolf III, who took it and looked at it twice, his expression a little stiff.There was a slight commotion among the ministers, curious as to what the information that caused the change in the king's expression was."
There was a 'group explosion' in the Chongshan Territory, and all the direct members of the Kant family who were imprisoned in various manors awaiting trial were engulfed by flames of unknown origin, and the devouring process was extremely similar to the result of the chaos monsters being illuminated by the light of order, in addition, some members of the Tylian family, the Earl of Seapine and all his direct descendants, Viscount Tutani and some of his direct descendants, Viscount Quetument, and Count Roxon...... and others, all spontaneously combusted. ”Every time the old king said a name, it was as if a heavy hammer was hitting the hall, making all the ministers vaguely guess the truth and at the same time bursts of cold sweat, and those who had dealings with these nobles felt even more dizzy, the phenomenon of "cultist spontaneous combustion" mentioned by Princess Veronica just now was completely connected with the situation in front of him!
“…… The royal family will launch an investigation into the above personnel and confirm their connection with the Annihilation Order as soon as possible. ”Rudolf III said this, but in fact everyone present understood: there are some things that may not need to be investigated at all.Some people were shocked that the Annihilation Cultists had infiltrated to such an extent and had been lurking in the kingdom for so many years, while others of the nobles with a long heritage or were themselves knowledgeable were not too surprised by this situation, knowing that since the beginning of the records of human civilization, these Annihilation Believers have always been entangled and infiltrated in every ordered kingdom like the shadow of civilization, and the upper echelons of the kingdom have long known about their existence and maintained a difficult and delicate balance of confrontation, It's just that even these people who know the inside story didn't expect that these "ghosts" that have entangled the world of order for 10,000 years would disappear like this?
Just like that, the sun shines, and then the world evaporates?!
Could it really be that, as the scholar Alfred said, chaos has completely retreated?
And beside Rudolf III, Veronica and Ania subconsciously glanced at each other.All these things happened after Hao Ren and Di left the royal capital, did all these changes have anything to do with them?
Just as these thoughts were spreading in the main hall, another royal herald appeared at the door!
When the golden and red uniforms appeared in front of the ministers, the entire council chamber suddenly fell silent.Because the herald held in his hand a crystal that was glowing white, and the crystal was swirling with runes, exuding a strong divine aura.Sacred Stone - a special spar made by the high-ranking bishops of the Holy Realm Divine City with powerful divine power, it comes from the broken fragments at the foot of the Assuman Mountain, it can be said to be the strongest and most holy substance in the world, and its role is to maintain the connection between the Holy Land and various secular realms in an emergency, and the powerful divine power can allow it to penetrate the interference of the Chaos Storm in any situation, even if the entire continent is swallowed by the storm.In the dark ages, it can be said to be an insurance policy for urgent help.However, with the mysterious changes within the Order State, the early withdrawal of the Church army, and the unilateral cutting off of communication by the Sanctuary for unknown reasons (in fact, it was the lack of Asuman energy, which caused the signal transmission to be interrupted), the sacred stone lost its effect, and it has been lying quietly in the Royal Mystic Headquarters for the past nearly two months, and everyone can do nothing about it.But then it lit up again—a message from the Sanctuary!
Rudolf III spoke to the herald in a low voice, his face became serious, and ordered the herald to place the sacred stone on top of a silver column in front of the throne.The light of the sacred stone became more and more stable, and rapidly expanded, forming a clear and large hologram above the column.Karasius, dressed in papal robes, stands in the video, along with Hao Ren and several faces that Veronica does not recognize."
That's the Pope?"
Rudolf III made a puzzled voice when he saw the robe on Carasius, "Isn't it August VII......
Veronica exclaimed in a low voice: "Haoren?
Is it really him?
”At the same time, the sacred stones of each of the kingdoms of order were sent to the local rulers.Holographic projections appeared in the palaces of the monarchs of various kingdoms, and the voices of Karasius and Hao Ren reached the entire Kolo world: "Rulers of Kolo, kings and protectors of secular kingdoms, leaders of all intelligent races, I am Karasius, the successor of the Pope of the Sanctuary, and I stand on the top of the holy mountain Assuman and declare to you—" Lokmadon, this nightmare and threat entrenched in the world, has been completely destroyed, its soul, its mind, its flesh.
The body, and all the evil products related to it, have been completely and permanently cleared by the Sanctuary Expeditionary Force......
"The Sanctuary Expeditionary Force and the Goddess's Emissary have attacked the lair of Lokmadon, and the Abyss of Oblivion has been purified......
"The guide of our faith, the protector of the heart, the chosen shepherd of the Goddess, the loving father August VII, died in the Purification War and fell on the front line......
"The Chaos War will end forever from today, there will be no more chaos cycles, no more nightmares, The Sea of Karnos will be at eternal peace, and all the secular kingdoms should work together to complete the ...... of reviving and rebuilding this world" At the same time, because of the sacred covenant between the Goddess of Creation and the outer gods, I declare Hao Ren, the observer, protector and inspector of the worlds, as the second pope of Kolo, who is the messenger of the outer gods, who has come to our aid by the agreement between the gods, and who from this day on has full authority and status equal to that of the Holy Pope, and who is responsible for guiding Kolo's reconstruction."
Now, it's up to him to speak."
