Volume 11: The Cursed Hammer Witch Chapter 24: The Gradually Deteriorating Situation (Part 1)
Twenty-four hours after the Pale Mark appeared, the world felt the pain.
The sky was gradually covered by a blazing white light, like waves gradually sweeping out layers of ripples, and the cracks kept twisting and swirling inside. Even the dumbest people would realize that this was probably not just a so-called simple astronomical phenomenon, but a symbol of doomsday extinction.
However, it was too late. The reports of the white knights gradually filled the documents of the intelligence workers. In just one day, the familiar world had completely changed. More than seventy seals were destroyed, and hundreds of monsters began to gallop and kill along some unknown route. Wherever the line passed, it was a scene of hell. The white flames continued to spread on their bodies, leaving pale traces on the planet.
From space, it can be clearly seen that the meteorites that fell from the sky are the axis, and the pale lines that continue to spread along some inexplicable tracks gradually split and cut, as if to judge the entire planet, gradually dividing it into a grid. In just one day, more than 20% of the water was heavily polluted. The white flames filled in it could make the most resistant monsters cry and run away, and even subconsciously want to attack others in order to escape from this polluted source. It is not impossible to drink it, but the water that looks unusually clear makes people feel a genuine sense of horror.
A lake that is so clear that you can even see the sand at the bottom. People floating on the water feel like they are flying in the sky. Is this still a normal body of water? Shouldn't a normal lake be full of blood plasma and mud, and taste bitter and astringent when you drink it?
But no one could answer the questions of these empires. They just looked at the spreading white lines in confusion and fear, planning their chassis on the planet.
No matter from the ocean, the sky, or the ground, no matter what kind of terrain it is, whether it is magma, swamps, mountains, or mines, it is just a completely straight line, as if the entire planet is regarded as a whole structure, and the humans and elves living on it are completely ignored. There is something terrifying hidden in it, and the attitude of completely ignoring the creatures on the ground brought the leaders of this empire together.
Just like every head of state's room has a live broadcast line to other countries, the same is true in this world. At the call of the great emperor of the human empire, several phantoms appeared in a , looking at each other, with fear in more than a dozen eyes.
"…Then first of all, we can be sure that this was not done by any of us. Nor was it done by those blind little creatures underground."
The huge mouth in his lower abdomen opened and closed, and the Emperor of the Human Empire said in a muffled voice:
"Their intelligence is not enough to understand the awakening of magic, and there has been no sign of overthrowing the covenant in all these years. More importantly, they have also been eroded by the white light. A line passes through their city and land, directly melting the entire mountain range. Those white things that look like steel creations built an inexplicable creation on their land, like something out of a nightmare, and then disappeared. So this time we are probably facing a real natural disaster."
"Don't underestimate the power of the elves... Although I really want to say this, we already have 17 cities where light syndrome has broken out. They have gone mad because of contact with or witnessing the light, and have started to mutilate themselves and commit suicide, or have found other relatives and friends to kill them meaninglessly, without even doing a blood sacrifice and just leaving them there. These people are really crazy."
The eyeballs and tentacles on his neck sighed with compassion. The Elf Emperor, whose body was wrapped in octopus-like slimy tissue, shook his head. Pus and maggots continued to flow from his gorgeous clothes.
As elves who rely heavily on nature, although they have changed some of their power forms under the power of the gods, their nature still makes them like to live in the jungle. However, four damn white knights turned some of their country's archons and geniuses into a terrifying human-shaped infection source, driving them to run in the gathering places and water sources in the forest.
These lights have a scarier and more contagious nature than viruses. People who directly witness those lights will gradually doubt their own hearts, and then their own tissues will gradually fall off, and their own flesh will gradually burn and dissolve, just like they begin to doubt their own spirits. The more resolute the people are, the more likely they will be burned to ashes by this light. On the contrary, those indecisive mud legs, those lowly bastards and blood sacrifice reserves, always have the possibility of escaping the punishment of the light disease. Although the death toll is also not small, it is much more than that of the orthodox citizens.
The elves were a nation formed by clans and kinship. However, this relationship has gradually become a mere formality, and various destructions have followed. Judging from the scene reflected by the magic circle in the sky, the surviving sacrifices and elves are rebuilding order.
However, that kind of order looked so frightening. They gave up the round and moist aesthetic point of view and turned to a cold and sharp style. They even abandoned the love of the gods and turned themselves into bald pigs. This was not just ordinary horror. In the eyes of the Elf Emperor, such ugly behavior made the emperor, who had a natural artistic beauty, have a resolute hatred and fear.
What kind of power can make a living creature's worldview change so radically? What kind of power can make people see ugliness as beauty? Looking at the bald flesh without proliferating skin, looking at the long light green hair that has not mutated, looking at the virtue of giving up the love of blood relatives. The Elf Emperor felt shocked and terrified by the impact of the holy light trace, so much so that he dared not say anything. And this fear was soon seen through by the emperor on the human side. This huge emperor patted his mouth on his belly, and his voice became more and more contemptuous.
"You two are useless and only know how to stick to the rules. You are so cowardly that you can't see the road ahead. No wonder I beat you into this state."
The human emperor said in a dull voice:
"Compared to you useless people, we are much better."
