Chapter 286: Unspeakable Will
Ryan has been in this foggy world for quite some time, and he has long understood that whether it is the two empires or the Glorious City, the people here actually have no belief in gods.
There were indeed gods in ancient times, but there are none now, and people will not believe in gods that have disappeared in the dust of history.
The only thing that people often mention is probably the "God of Steam" believed by mechanics.
The name of a fictional deity.
Of course, the Coleman tribe still retains their faith in the 72 Gods "Morogos", which is a little special. Because they all know that the gods have fallen, their faith is more based on ancestral teachings and customs.
Before that, Ryan learned from Master Kavo that in addition to the "Seventy-two Generals", other gods' inheritances had actually been discovered in the Ice Ridge Wasteland.
However, those inherited methods that have always been regarded as "evil taboos" by people are all "evil gods".
Our ancestors have left warnings from generation to generation: don’t be curious, don’t touch, don’t respond , don’t believe…
If one attempts to believe in the "evil god", his soul will be dragged into the endless abyss by the devil, bringing about a world-destroying disaster.
At this moment, when Ryan saw the abnormal behavior of King Kipling kneeling down to worship the statue before his death, he immediately realized that something was not right.
Because this statue is a "three-eyed god". It is also recorded in the temple murals that it was a hostile race that once defeated the "Black Emperor" Moises.
A true first-rate "evil god".
The fluorescent statue that Kipling took out at this moment was obviously not an ordinary statue. It was crystal clear, and a layer of fluorescence like a night pearl lingered on the surface. As soon as the whole statue was taken out, people could feel a sacred and majestic atmosphere.
Ryan had seen this fluorescence in the Atrium Tribe of the Coleman people.
There is also a statue of a deity worshipped by the Coleman people next to the tribal altar, which is as thin as a veil; it is far less lustrous than the one in front of us, which is like the light of the moon.
The Mafa Shaman said that it was the "power of faith and vows."
…
Just as the barrier of the main mechanical city of "Black Wind Territory" was broken, several living people from the Glorious City were already dead in the ruined Duke's Mansion.
Kipling knelt on the ground devoutly and bowed to the statue.
When he was on the verge of death, the glorious king willingly gave up everything he had, muttering: "Great 'God Jaliyad', please grant me strength, I am willing to dedicate my soul..."
He found this statue in a ruin many years ago.
It was a place of worship of the "evil god" tens of thousands of years ago.
Once upon a time, he knew that this was a "forbidden method" and did not dare to touch it, because he had clearly felt the voice of the "devil's temptation" in the statue for countless days and nights.
However, the statue had "magical powers" that prevented him from abandoning it.
Kipling was once just a person in the Winster family with a relatively low talent. But with this statue by his side, he was able to meditate, practice, and break through bottlenecks with divine help. This allowed him to excel in magic practice, far surpassing his peers in the family, and become a "genius" in the eyes of everyone, until today he reached the fifth level of transcendence.
He didn't tell anyone about it.
Today, I am going to die.
He took out the statue that had changed his destiny.
Kipling also realized between life and death that there is nothing he cannot let go of, even if it means giving his soul to the devil.
…
Not only Master Kavo recognized that Kipling's action was "believing in evil gods", but the Great Shaman of Marfa not far away also recognized it!
The two top transcendents instantly sensed the power on the statue that was beyond their comprehension.
Mafa was also extremely decisive. He raised his hand and shot at Kipling.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
The gun energy pierced through Kipling's body, but unfortunately no blood was seen. It was like piercing a body of fire, leaving a hole, but it recovered in an instant.
Ryan, who was far away, watched this scene and his pupils shrank suddenly: "Elemental body?"
He didn't understand what happened to Kipling that caused his flesh and blood body to turn into an elemental body.
Maybe it's the power of God.
At this time, an even more bizarre scene appeared.
Kipling’s prayers were answered.
The sky was filled with wind and clouds, and suddenly a huge human face slowly condensed in the void. The facial features were blurred, but the vertical pupil on the forehead was extremely clear. And that vertical pupil was facing the direction of the Duke's Mansion and slowly opened...
In an instant, an indescribable, inexplicable, and unbearable "great terror" descended upon everyone's heart.
This is the pressure from the soul.
It's that humble feeling of being watched by a god.
The moment it opened its eyes, the world seemed to collapse.
[Warning! Corroded by unknown energy...]
When Ryan heard the system prompt, he was really shocked. He never expected such a change to happen.
“This is God’s will!”
He never imagined that the will of a god would descend here.
Ryan had experienced this feeling before on the Great Shaman of Marfa.
At that time in the Midgard tribe, Marfa borrowed the will of the gods and single-handedly fought against the entire mage group of the Glory City.
However, the feeling at that time was far less intense than it is now.
He also didn't expect that Kipling's "last-minute cramming" would actually bring about the will of God!
Fortunately, at this moment, before the facial features of the man could be clearly seen, dense shadows of iron chains suddenly appeared in the sky, as if to prevent the giant face from breaking free from the void.
In an instant, the sense of crisis that seemed like the end of the world in everyone's hearts finally dissipated.
The third eye of the face in the sky did not open. A low voice like a whisper suddenly echoed in the void, "Eh, Chain of Rules? Such a familiar power, Moises... The devil energy of the abyss, it turns out to be the 'God-forsaken Ruins'..."
Although Ryan did not understand the exact meaning of the muttering, he vaguely understood the meaning of the words.
This is also a high-level language similar to "Ancient Demonic Language".
This time, Ryan was also confused.
I originally thought that Kipling had activated the remaining will of God in the statue, but I never expected that this descended "will"... actually spoke.
Damn, this "god" is alive!
The Mafa Great Shaman Priest not far away also changed his expression, his turbid eyes were full of coldness, "Outlander Evil God!"
As the evil god's will descended, the black cat that was catching evil spirits in the mechanical city also looked up and saw the giant face in the sky. The disgust from her bloodline made her hair stand on end, and she let out a roar of "hehehe" from her throat...
…
The "will of the evil god" seemed to be blinded. He could not see what was happening, but he could sense the existence of the statue.
At this moment, a deep and distant voice resounded in Kipling's ears: "My devout believer, the Lord grants you strength..."
The next moment, the statue suddenly shone brightly, and Kipling, who had been beaten to the brink of death, suddenly became engulfed in flames as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
His momentum was so great that he even overwhelmed the Great Shaman Priest of Mafa!
Originally just a fire magician with flesh and blood, he now turned into a fire giant with pure elemental limbs.
"Get started!"
The Mafa Great Shaman Priest would not just stand there in a daze. At the moment when the mysterious will descended, the shadow of the demon behind him also shone brightly, and the spell in his mouth was chanted instantly, and he shouted: "Call the wind!"
For a time, the situation became tense.
The power of the fifth-level wind spell was like a force 18 typhoon, instantly shaking the steel frame of the Duke's Mansion. The vines that were no longer under the control of the witch were blown to pieces...
Since we know that the opponent is now an elemental body, the effect of physical attack is extremely limited.
If it were a pure melee-type extraordinary being like Bazel or Canossa, they might not be able to do anything to Kipling in front of them.
But the Great Shaman of Mafa practices both magic and martial arts!
The hurricane was calling, and Marfa pinched the magic formula with one hand, took a deep breath, and blew out a gust of frosty white wind mixed with cold air. "Secret Technique of Wind: Dance of the Wind Elves!"
The wind was blowing hard and the temperature around dropped suddenly.
At the same time, the "Rain Master Elder" Fufa finished his magic chant, and the water vapor in the air condensed into small water droplets. And as if pulled by an invisible suction force, it turned into long and thin water droplets.
"The Secret of Rain: The Art of Thousand Spears!"
And the next moment, a magical scene appeared.
The hundreds of water spears encountered the cold air in the hurricane and instantly condensed into spears. And because of the acceleration of the storm, the ice spears rushed forward like bullets and broke through the air.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…
Ryan, who was far away, was amazed when he saw the top-level spell that he had seen in the secret book of the Coleman clan being used by Mafa and Fufa. "So powerful!"
The two top-level transcendents joined forces and actually used an extremely powerful compound spell [Ice Disaster is Coming]!
…
The power of the ice spear wielded by the two legendary fighters together is naturally terrifying.
As soon as it appeared, the murderous intent was already there.
The sharp ice spear easily pierced through everything in front of it, steel plates, walls, vines...
Once it falls on one place, the whole area will be frozen.
The high-level extraordinary guards around Kipling blocked several ice spears in panic, and then were frozen on the spot by the cold air covered by the explosion of the ice spears.
Several more ice spears pierced through the corpse, and there was a series of crisp "crack" and "crack" sounds of ice cracking. The guards that had become popsicles collapsed and turned into quickly broken ice.
This move is a complex range spell that combines "ice damage", "wind element suppression", "viscous control"... and ordinary fifth-level extraordinary people cannot do anything about it.
In a flash, the huge Duke's Mansion was frozen in the crystal ice and snow.
But!
Even with this move, Kipling, who had transformed into a body of fire, remained motionless.
Looking closely, I saw a circle of spiral flames rising around his body in the wind and snow. The hurricane blew the flaming tornado into the sky, but it did not hurt his body at all.
At this time, the Glorious King spoke up: "The method is good, but unfortunately the level of understanding of the elemental laws is too low..."
It was Kipling's voice that spoke, but the tone he used sounded strange.
At this moment, he raised his hand and waved, a ferocious fire tiger appeared out of thin air, and rushed towards Mafa and his companions.
No chanting, no seals, no magic condensation...
No process required, just raise your hand!
It turned out that he instantly cast a fifth-level spell - [Fire Explosion·Heaven Collapse and Earth Shattering]!
This is something that even a legendary magician cannot do, but now it is so easy, and Kipling is now useful!
“Bang!”
The fire tiger rushed towards Marfa, exploding into a ball of intense fire.
The power is far beyond expectations!
Just like that, the steel melted, the rivets jumped, and the entire top floor of the Duke's Mansion was about to collapse...
The violent air wave formed by the explosion hit down, and even though the flames had not yet arrived, Ryan, who was on the third floor, could feel the heat radiation that burned his skin.
His expression suddenly changed, and he pulled up Wu Duo beside him and jumped down towards the mechanical city.
From the moment the "will of the evil god" descended, he knew that there would be a fight today.
Seeing Kipling's instant fifth-level spell just now, Ryan felt like he was back to the legendary skeleton he met in the wasteland temple in the "Kalatwa Basin" before. He could use his killing move to create a space crack with just a raise of his hand.
The skeleton monster has no intelligence and is easy to deal with, but the person in front of you is a living person.
Now, Kipling, blessed by the will of the evil god, has reached the peak of the legendary realm in terms of combat power!
If the upper limit of the laws that this space can withstand is 100, a normal fifth-level transcendent can achieve an effect of about 60 to 70 points when releasing this spell.
And this Kipling just achieved the effect of 99 points.
The power of his spells has reached the limit of what this space can withstand!
Just as Ryan and the other man were still falling in the air, Kipling attacked again!
He raised his hand and held two fire snakes in his palms, but when he pushed them forward, they turned into two huge fire pythons with a diameter of several meters.
This is actually——【Arcane Law·Roar of Fire Dragon】!
Instant again!
Another fifth-level spell!
It is another incredibly powerful one!
Two fire pythons exploded into a ball of flaming mushrooms on the top floor of the Duke's Mansion, and the steel plates and steel frames flew and melted...
This made Ryan and Udo, who were falling, feel that the blast was like an invisible hand, pressing them down to the ground.
With a dull thud, the two men fell heavily onto the steel floor.
…
"Udo, are you okay?"
"It's all right."
Standing up, Ryan dusted off Udo, then looked up at the top floor of the mechanical city a hundred meters above, which had been blown up, with a serious expression.
This foggy world only allows the existence of fifth-order law power. Within this limited range, even if the existence of the Marfa Great Witch Priest cannot beat the current Kipling, it will be difficult for him to be defeated.
What's more, there are thousands of flying dragons and vine armor warriors!
Kipling can't handle it alone. No matter how powerful he is, he is still alone. Even with the blessing of the "God's will", he will definitely not get any benefit. A round-the-clock battle will wear him out!
He was not worried that the Marfa High Priest and his men would be defeated.
Ryan was worried about the consequences of Kipling summoning the "God-level will" this time.
The emergence of a "living god" also caused many things to develop in unpredictable directions.
This foggy world has existed for so many years, and apart from the mechanical airship, no one from outside the fog has ever entered. Now that someone like this has come, people have to worry.
The development of Black Dragon City suddenly became urgent.
They had to be on guard against hunters in the forest with shotguns aiming at them.
However, it is a crisis, but also an expectation.
Ryan looked up at the sky and murmured, "It turns out that there are really gods in this world..."
Speculation is one thing, historical legends are another, and seeing it with your own eyes is another.
Seeing the big face in the sky and the world beyond the fog, he became more interested in exploring it.
…
The battle on the top floor of the Mechanical City was very loud, and the flames burned most of the sky red, but it did not last long.
Just as Ryan expected, the Marfa Great Priest, who had an absolute numerical advantage, defeated Kipling who was fighting alone.
Although it cost some price, the [Fire Totem] was successfully recovered.
But the Mafa Great Shaman Priest said that he sensed that the aura of the Kipling had not completely disappeared...
