Chapter 216 The Emperor’s Fall
A corner of Dragon Skull City.
The old green-skinned emperor, wearing ordinary linen clothes and holding a wooden cane in his hand, staggered through the devastated shack area.
"Is he actually the eliminater of infectious diseases..."
The old emperor silently looked at the green-skinned zombies running past him and murmured.
The zombie's head was rotten and its appearance could no longer be seen. Only the luxurious dress with gold thread he wore silently proved his noble status during his lifetime.
The noble zombie left in a hurry, without even looking at the old emperor, as if the old emperor did not exist at all.
"No, it shouldn't be the infectious type of purifiers. Because the infectious type is considered a relatively weak type among all the purifiers...and these original zombies can even compete with the red-robed priests who have activated the holy weapon."
"Such a powerful purger was definitely spawned by that god. It can never be a native purger."
In the space of two sentences, a warrior, who was covered in thick iron armor and whose body was as strong as a little giant, walked out of the darkness next to him.
"Oh? Why can't it be native?" The old emperor was not surprised, as if he had expected that the other party would appear here.
"If there is really a world that gave birth to such a monster, it means that that world itself has the power to crush all other civilizations..."
"If that were the case, then I can't imagine the possibility that we could still exist."
The tin can continued to say in a muffled voice:
"The emergence of the Scavenger is both a danger and an opportunity... I am even certain that if there is such a powerful native Scavenger, then killing it will at least drop relics and even authority!"
"...That's true." The old emperor nodded, "So, anyway, it seems that he got into trouble with a guy?"
"Most likely, He even activated the hidden hand that he had laid down for so many years... The church is completely destroyed, and no one survives."
The tin can's voice did not change at all, but the old emperor could hear a hint of loneliness in his voice.
"I didn't expect that He was so anxious and even started to hunt me... My son must have been eaten up by Him now." The old green-skinned emperor also sighed deeply.
"..."
After they finished speaking, the two sides stared at each other in silence in the dark.
"So, you asked me to come here just to see an old man who lost his son face to face?" The old emperor was the first to break the calm.
"Of course not, but I'm hesitating." Tin Can said in his characteristic dull tone.
"So why are you still hesitating? The Dragon Skull Clan is finished. The only hope now is to hide until the God War begins..."
"At that time, He should have no intention of caring about me. I can jump to a certain fortress city, then rebuild Longshan and hatch the dragon again."
"As long as I'm alive, there's always hope."
The old emperor said something softly, as if he was persuading or talking to himself.
"Yes, I know this too... But what I'm not sure about is whether it is the right choice to give you the means of resistance that the church has accumulated over the years."
"After all, your royal family just wants to maintain its rule and continue to lie on the heads of the people to suck blood...but we have greater ideals."
The tin can's words showed no mercy to the royal family, but after he finished speaking, the old emperor didn't seem angry, and even nodded slightly.
This time, Tin Can was a little surprised.
"You are right, our royal family is like this...at least most of the royal family are like this - such as my son."
The old green-skinned emperor looked at the tin can with his eyes full of wisdom:
"However, the rule of blood is the most stable. Only on a stable basis can we seek fairness and development... Otherwise, why do you think I gave the first chief priest so much power? Even in the end, it became so big that it could compete with the royal family?"
"Isn't it His pressure?" Tin Can didn't believe these high-sounding words.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The old emperor suddenly laughed when he heard this, and he laughed for a long time.
"how?"
The sound of the tin can remained unchanged, but his dissatisfaction was so obvious that it almost overflowed from the can.
"Do you know the name of the church?"
Suddenly, the old emperor asked a seemingly irrelevant question.
"The Holy Religion is the Holy Religion! It doesn't even have a name." Tin Can said dissatisfiedly, "Do you still want to debate doctrines and classics with me?"
"Holy Cult...ah, when you changed it to this name, I had just received the scepter. I was not even 200 years old at that time."
The old green-skinned emperor whispered.
As soon as these words came out, Tin Can was shocked and immediately asked: "Wait, 200 years old!? What about you now!?"
"My age is not the point. The point is... the Holy Cult's previous name was the Dragon God Cult."
The old emperor revealed a secret that had been buried for who knows how long, but the tin can didn't pay attention to the so-called "key points" at all.
"200 years old... Although I know that the royal family has a long life... but a hard worker can only live for 15 years at most!! How can you have the nerve to say 'you are only 200 years old'!?"
The tin can seems completely unable to sympathize with the nobles, but instead stands at the bottom of the peon's perspective.
Of course, he didn't really sympathize with the hard workers. On the contrary, he only regarded those hard workers, maids, and even the relatively high-level Dragon Skull Warriors as expendable supplies.
He said this just because it would not make his jealousy too obvious...
That's all.
"At that time, the dragon masters were called worshipers of the Dragon God at that time...Although the Dragon God had already died at that time, the embers of the god were still protecting us."
"Until He showed up..."
"The Dragon God Cult was changed into a holy religion, and the dragon worshipers were forced to become irreverent dragon masters... Even I am too old to walk."
"He is squeezing the blessings of the Dragon God..."
"So, in a sense, the start of the God War is indeed a good thing for the clan. As long as it avoids his attention, then..."
"Shut up, I don't want to hear it." The tin can said in a muffled voice.
"...So, what's your choice?" the old emperor asked.
"If I could, I really don't want to... damn the royal family! I'm so envious of you!" Tin Can said bitterly, but slowly took off his helmet in his hand.
Suddenly, a face covered with stitch marks was revealed.
Although at first glance, this looks like an enlarged ordinary green skin... However, if you look closely, every part of his face seems to come from a different person!
And the disarming continues.
As more skin was exposed, the tin can was covered with winding stitching marks.
The quality of each small piece of skin varies greatly - some are delicate, some are rough, some are smooth, and some are full of wrinkles.
And almost all skin fragments show subtle differences in skin color.
"Tsk, tsk, what a perfect masterpiece..." the old king sighed.
"A masterpiece!? This damn masterpiece leaves me with less than one year left to live! This damn masterpiece!!" The tin can roared with its armor removed.
"However, it gave you supreme power, didn't it?" The old emperor looked indifferent, "Without such transformation, you would not be able to reach your current position and enjoy the top blood food... and even let you inadvertently Escaped from His parasitism.”
"If it weren't for this transformation, you would be dead by now."
The old emperor said indifferently.
"...Indeed." Tin Can sighed and turned around slowly.
On his vest, a gemstone was beating slightly like a heart.
"Take it, this is the core of Abibas... take it and enter the floating island. At the bottom of the temple, the greatest secret of our holy religion is hidden."
"This is a secret that can make mortals fight against gods..."
"Now, it's up to you."
"Take it away! Before I change my mind!"
"..."
"Okay, I took it..." The old emperor walked tremblingly to the tin can and looked at the gem inlaid on his back... Even if the old emperor raised his feet, he couldn't reach it!
"You go a little lower, yes, yes, that's it..."
The old emperor suddenly had a sharp look in his eyes, and suddenly flicked a sharp blade of cold light from his fingertips, directly slicing through the neck of the tin can!
At the same time, the old emperor took off the gem and retreated!
How can he still look a bit senile now? As flexible as a monkey!
However, the body that had been decapitated by the tin can still did not fall down, and not even a drop of blood came out from its neck.
"So, you saw through it?"
asked the tin can head on the ground.
"It doesn't matter whether you see through it or not. The reason why I saw you is just to get this gem back."
The old emperor whispered.
"I see...then you won't see the secrets under the floating island, right?"
The head continued to ask.
"Of course, that's where the divine root is. If I go there, wouldn't I be falling into a trap?" the old emperor still answered honestly.
"..."
The head was silent for a while, and then spoke again: "If you say this, I don't think there is anything I can do..."
"How could it be? Your ingenious plan almost deceived me. It was just a little bit off. I was just lucky. You have one last sentence."
The old emperor still replied in a low voice with a calm tone.
"Have you seen through even this last back-up plan? You are truly a fanatical believer of the Dragon God, You Suzhugen."
"Thank you for your compliment. Are you satisfied with my answer?" The old emperor continued to ask respectfully, without any fluctuation in his emotions.
"Satisfied, of course I am satisfied. But I will definitely find you, I will definitely..."
After saying that, the tin can's head disappeared with a bang, and the old green-skinned emperor finally let out a long breath.
"This damn authority... finally passed the test." The old emperor rubbed the gem in his hand, thinking secretly in his heart.
"A precious seed has been lost. He should give up in a short time. I will find a place to hide now and wait for the divine war to begin..."
"Hmph, let the so-called 'god' fight! When they finally fight to the death, the Dragon God will have been resurrected under my auspices!"
"At that time, I will give birth to countless dragon people and create a dragon kingdom! Jiejiejiejie..."
"Hey! Look! There's an old man here with a silly smile! He's holding such a big gem in his hand!!"
Suddenly, a human voice broke the silence of the darkness.
Several "salvagers" wearing iron armor with golden runes and holding iron spears with golden runes also touched this place at some point, and the moment they saw the old emperor, they spread out their formation with a "crash". Surround him in the middle.
The old green-skinned emperor: "..."
"Then what? What to do? Follow the procedure or just grab it?"
one person asked.
"Kill this old man first and then touch the body!"
"good!"
Several "salvagers" were very skilled in their business and quickly determined the method of combat.
However……
"Haha, it turns out they are just a few thieves... Do you feel powerful just by wearing that kind of rune armor?"
"I have no time, so please go to hell!"
As he spoke, layers of illusory and transparent scales actually appeared within a few centimeters of the old emperor's body!
And a pair of transparent dragon wings slowly unfolded behind the old emperor...
"Roar--"
Sweep!
The illusory dragon wings swept across, and everyone was covered by this range attack!
"Dang Dang Dang..."
A piece of "-0" emerged from the heads of the "salvagers"...
Yes, -0.
The old emperor's attack power was too low. Although his skills were good, he still failed to break through the defense.
"Damn! You scared me! I thought I was going to die..."
"What, the thunder is loud and the rain is small!"
"Go to hell! Lao Deng!"
"Puff puff……"
The golden iron spear penetrated the illusory dragon scales easily, and finally penetrated into the old emperor's body.
"Ah - wait, wait... I, I am old... I am old... ah -"
Although the old emperor tried his best to say a complete sentence, as the strong men stabbed him intensively, his health points, which were more than 100 points, continued to drain and were finally completely emptied.
"Huh...this Lao Deng is actually quite resistant to being beaten! He's still not dead after being stabbed so many times!?"
A "salvage" stepped forward and reached out to take the gem held in the old emperor's hand.
"Bring it here! Hey, this thing must be valuable..."
"What's the use of having money? It's better to give it to the Crow God."
"I mean it is dedicated to the Crow God! What is valuable is the value of being dedicated to the Crow God!"
"Let's go, let's go. The smell of blood is so strong, it might attract zombies... Hurry up and get something else before you go back!"
"Oh wait! This old man's ring is pretty good..."
"This belt buckle is also good, it seems to be made of solid gold!?"
"What's the groove!? How come the nipple cover is made of solid gold!?"
"Where is it? Let me see...it's crazy, he is...she?"
"Wait, wait, leave one for me..."
"Switch with me, I don't want a breast cap, I want a ring."
"Go away, that's mine!"
"..."
The chaos soon passed, and as the "salvagers" left, the alley fell into silence again.
But soon, a group of green-skinned zombies were attracted by the smell of blood...
There were creepy chewing sounds in the darkness.
