In the center of the underground hall of the temple, on the hilt of the Holy Avenger's sword, burned a flame so weak that it seemed that it would go out at any time.
But just such a small flame exudes tenacity, protecting the light balls in the center of the hall, firmly resisting the lawful evil that pervades the entire world.
It could even create some aftermath, covering the temple with only ruins on the ground, so that even Sui Xiong, who transcended attributes and rules, was not aware of its existence at first.
Sui Xiong carefully flew in front of the flames, fearing that he would extinguish it with too much force.
In the flames, he saw the figure of a pig-headed man. This pig-headed man is old, ugly, and skinny, as if only a layer of skin is left to wrap the skull, which is really terrifying. But even so, you can see that his face is full of pain, and he is obviously enduring great pain.
His body was trembling, but he held on to a cane and tried to stand upright so as not to lose his balance and fall to the ground due to pain.
It took Sui Xiong several seconds to recognize the pig-headed man.
He is the latest god promoted by Sui Xiong, the god of salt production, Fela Kenji, who is nicknamed the "salt-eating pig".
Sui Xiong didn't find it strange at all that Fela Kenji would appear in this last stand against the "New Order" of the Lord of Radiance. He believed in his subordinate's loyalty to him. But he was wondering why Fela Kenji was standing in the flames, like fuel
Those other gods, where have they gone
Sui Xiong felt that he had almost guessed the answer, but he would rather guess wrong.
He stretched out his tentacles with some trembling and reached into the flames.
A very familiar force swept over me, brave, firm, bright, loyal, and unyielding.
Of course he knows where this power comes from. This is Leon's power. Although it is much stronger than the demigod Leon in his impression, its essence has not changed.
Accompanying this power is a wonderful power. The essence of this power is similar to that of the Lord of Order. It should be left behind by the Lord of Order, but it is already very weak and has no sanity. It is just unconsciously operating in an established way. It continuously draws power from the flames, and then dissipates it through conversion to maintain the barrier around the temple and prevent the "new order" from destroying the last refuge of the "old order" and completely erasing it. Last traces.
When Sui Xiong stretched his tentacles into the flames, the wonderful power immediately wrapped around him, trying to draw power from him in order to transform it into the power to maintain the barrier.
The way to absorb it is to burn it.
Sui Xiong could certainly stop his tentacles from burning if he wanted to. But not only did he not stop it, he instead transmitted a lot of power to it, causing the flames that were about to extinguish to burn brightly and illuminate the entire hall.
Under the light of the fire, murals appeared on the walls around the hall. These murals looked very familiar to Sui Xiong. They were a long narrative scroll. With a sweep of his mind, Sui Xiong understood the entire content - this long scroll records the resistance of the "old order" to the "new order".
Just as Sui Xiong guessed, after Sui Xiong and the Kingdom of God fell into the main plane, he was sent to the Lord of the Supreme Good, and the Kingdom of God was split up, and based on the Void City, a defense system was built to resist the brilliance. The position of the Lord.
After some time, the Lord of Order was defeated by the Lord of Glory and retreated to Void City. Having gained some understanding during that battle, he finally managed to resist the Lord of Glory and barely maintained the situation by relying on this position built on the basis of the "sanctuary".
To be honest, if the Lord of Glory really attacks with all his strength, even if the Lord of Order joins this position, plus the gods who come to help, they probably won't be able to withstand it. But no one knows why, the Lord of Glory drifted away after a fruitless attack, and never appeared here again, personally launching even one attack on the Void City's defense line.
But this does not mean that he will let everyone go. With the change of world order, Void City gradually becomes incompatible with the entire world. In order to maintain the existence of the defensive position, the gods thought of many ways and spent a lot of divine power, but they still could not support it. In the end, the defense line had to retreat again and again, until it retreated to the core of the Kingdom of God, Sui Xiong's "computer" as the material The temple that was built.
After retreating here, there is really nowhere to retreat. A large number of mortals were sealed in underground halls. They were incompatible with the new era and had no way of surviving in this so-called "new order". And those gods who have been fleeing here one after another are also unable to adapt to the crazy "new order" of the Lord of Glory. They have no other choice but to fight to the end.
Seeing despair, Leon, who had become the "Guardian of Void City" at that time, stood up.
He discussed with the Lord of Order for a long time and finally found a solution to the problem.
Leon inserted his divine sword into the hall, and then the Lord of Order abandoned his own reason and turned himself into a strange flame. The flame itself is weak, but it can transform any fuel in it into a powerful force to maintain the barrier that protects the temple and resists the erosion of the "New Order".
And the first god to jump into the flames and become fuel was Leon. He ignited himself, turning his body, soul, divinity, godhood and even existence itself... everything into fuel, igniting a flame as bright as the sun.
With this flame, the temple was finally defended. Although the gods were saddened by the death of the Lord of Order and the Guardian God of Void City, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the power of the flame is not eternal. As the days pass, the flame becomes weaker day by day. Gradually, it is no longer enough to protect the temple.
When the flame was about to extinguish, the God of Justice, Jorgadman, jumped into the flame and turned into fuel. He took over from the burned-out Leon and continued to guard the temple and everyone's last hope.
Then, one god after another became the fuel. There are also some gods, evil gods and demigods who cannot bear this kind of bleak death, and would rather rush out and die in a vigorous battle... The last person to become fuel is the weakest god of salt making among the remaining gods, Fela... Kenkey.
On the scroll, many gods left their last words before leaping into the flames, and at the end of the scroll were the last words of Fela Kenji:
I am Fela Kenji, a pig-headed man with no abilities. I only relied on a clever little invention and the promotion of His Majesty the Lord of the Void to become a god and gain immortality. Many people say that maybe I am the weakest god in the world.
In a little while, I will follow my companions and become part of the flame, trying to use my insignificant power to protect this place and protect the last position of the "old order" among us.
I don't think what we believe and stand for is old and wrong, and neither do my peers. We become flames one by one, not to win, but to work hard to protect our last dignity and to protect those who are willing to believe in us and stand with us until the end.
Perhaps our flame will eventually go out, and the people we want to protect will die, but we fought until the last moment, and no matter strong enemies or death, we never bowed our heads.
The reason why life is noble does not lie in the strength of strength or the level of godhead, but in the courage to face the enemy and face death. I am not sure whether these paintings can be passed down, but I believe that even under the insidious and cruel "new order", there will be people with such courage, in despair, in the face of death, blooming the noblest beauty of life. attitude!
Finally, may our Majesty, the Lord of the Void, return; may this scroll record our final gestures and determination and dedicate them to you; may you defeat the villains who claim to be supreme and restore the world to the right direction. .
We can’t wait for you to come back, but we will always bless you.
The flame we turn into may be extinguished; but our blessing for you will always exist!
