Alisha's kiss came so suddenly that Roja dodged it subconsciously, but this had no effect on the result.
The silver-haired girl is now at source level 1, and her movements are no slower than the young girl, and the girl has already prepared, how can a sudden attack stop because of this evasion
One hand grabbed the corner of the boy's clothes, and Alyssa succeeded in a sneak attack, occupying Roja's lips in one fell swoop, while the black-haired boy showed a helpless expression after the initial surprise, and tenderness also appeared in the golden pupils.
He didn't step back, but hugged the girl lightly. This behavior made Alisha feel a lot more secure, but only a few seconds later, Roja realized that this did not seem to be a mere kiss. The reason is the heat flow conducted by the girl through this kiss.
Is this... life energy
Sweet, but with a bit of blood, this kind of taste feedback made Roja easily know that the girl was mixed with blood in this kiss, and after a long kiss, the black-haired teenager gasping quickly asked. The question in my mind came out.
"Alyssa, what are you?"
"In ancient times, only Shia was able to control the power of [Six Plagues] here. After Shia disappeared, this person became a mother god. Although my power can’t be compared with my mother, it’s only [Six Plagues]. ] One of them should be enough."
"I see."
"And... you can also help your elder brother to replenish your body."
Slightly squinting her red eyes, Alisha lowered her head and her face was a little red, and she said so, and Roja naturally knew what else the girl said. After coughing twice, the black-haired boy turned her head. Looking forward again, after thinking for a moment, he asked: Remember m. .
"Alyssa, according to what you said, this is the root of the [six plagues], that is to say, if these six curses are destroyed, those monsters will disappear completely?"
"It is true in theory, but it is almost impossible to do it in practice. [Six Plagues] are monsters born from Shia's power and nature, but in fact it is also a certain kind of adjustment mechanism."
"Regulatory mechanism?"
"Yes, even if these curses are destroyed here, [Six Plagues] are likely to be resurrected in nature, and I don't recommend this."
"why?"
"If the [Six Plagues] did not generate magic elements that swallowed a lot of air, most of the creatures in this world would become monsters, and most importantly, many inferior products of [Six Plagues] might be born."
Alyssa, who said that, rolled up the hair around her ears and looked at the source of the disaster ahead, while Roja frowned in this explanation.
"Inferior products, do you mean a non-living body with a certain degree of self-awareness?"
"Well, as long as there is enough magic element, although it is very small, it is indeed possible that something similar will be born, and... Although the elder brother will not like it as a human, but [six plagues] some kind To a certain extent, it also acts as a biological regulation mechanism to reduce the burden of the sleeping mother goddess."
"..."
Hearing the words of the silver-haired girl, the black-haired boy fell silent for a while, and understood the principle after a little thought.
Countless people from ancient times to the present want to know the mystery of Shia’s disappearance. Roja was also one of them. However, after experiencing historical fragments, the black-haired boy has understood the reason. It is precisely because of the fact that the world lives. The burden caused by Shia, who was the mother of creation, gradually couldn't bear it, and she collapsed.
According to the causal relationship, since the world did not collapse with it, it means that the price is still being paid, and the person who pays the price is undoubtedly the mother god and savior who inherited most of Shia's power.
After the war between the savior and the mother goddess ended, the savior fell into madness and depravity, while the mother god fell into a deep sleep. The result of such a defeat has undoubtedly greatly reduced the strength of the two people, and the price they can bear is also sharply reduced. The end result is everyone knows.
That was the end of the ancient mythological era and the disappearance of many mythological races.
This constant decline lasted for thousands of years, and after thinking of these, Roja also had new ideas for the purpose of [Six Plagues].
"Alyssa, there is something I want to ask you. Could it be that the [Six Plagues] continue to devour civilization, not for the mother god to wake up as soon as possible?"
"Huh? No, although there is a certain amount of help, in general, the actions of [Six Plagues] cannot greatly accelerate the mother god's awakening."
"Then they did it to..."
"It is to reduce the cost by exterminating the wisdom and civilization of the ancient times, so that the mother god can continue to survive in a sleeping state, and to some extent it is also for the world to achieve stable supply and demand without a complete collapse."
"That's it."
Looking ahead with a complicated face, Luo Ya finally understood everything, and the girl who said this softly continued:
"If the price paid by the mother god is compared to firewood, then the mythical creatures are like a stove, but if they exist, they consume a lot of resources. Although they emit more heat, they are meaningless. When the supply of firewood is insufficient It can only be turned off, at best to let his blood flow down."
"That's it... These monsters are actually regulators. To be honest, I find it hard to accept."
"My brother..."
"After all, whether it is me or the Alder clan and the Twilight Sage Association, they all regard them as enemies. The fighting with each other has lasted for an unknown number of years, and there have been many sacrifices. But if this is the case, then Haven't we become bad guys."
Roja's face was stiff when he said that. He thought of Vincent hundreds of years ago and Isabella who remained on the sea forever. He couldn't let go of it anyway, but fortunately Alisa immediately heard this. Shook his head.
"No, my elder brother, the ancestors are right about this."
"Hey? That's right? It's not that the [six plagues] are meant to reduce the burden on the world..."
"This was true in ancient times. The demise of mythical creatures is inevitable and necessary. However, compared with mythological creatures, humans are too weak. If the mythical races are furnaces, then humans are at best a little light, even if they are undersupply. The situation can be maintained."
"Huh? Then why does [Six Plagues] still attack humans?"
"If you insist, it should be survival instinct."
The silver-white-haired girl pulled Loya closer to the curse in front, and said as she walked:
"My elder brother, you also know that the [Six Plagues] are self-conscious and are creature-like life forms. For this reason, even if the task is completed, they will never choose to die on their own initiative."
"In other words, are they attacking humans in order to continue to survive?"
"Yes, since the world's consumption and cost, supply and demand have stabilized, the [Six Plagues] have completed the task. After that, their war with humans is completely a competition for survival in the natural world. The contradiction between the two sides can only be eliminated by one Solved, so the ancestors are not wrong."
"That's it."
Hearing Alisha's explanation, Luo Ya finally took off the hat of "delaying the world and lightening the burden" on his head, and his mood suddenly improved a lot, while the silver-haired girl stretched out her finger to the floating aurora.
"My elder brother, this is the source of [Swallowing Light]. The power absorbed here should be enough to form the Crown Stone, but I don't know what happens during the absorption process. After all, no one has ever tried it."
"It doesn't matter, it's good to be able to skip the battle."
"My elder brother, I will always be watching here. If there is any danger, I will immediately interfere."
"Well, then, it's not too late..."
Smiling and comforting Alisa, who was a little worried, Roja turned his head and looked forward and stepped into the light. The next moment the aurora radiated a dazzling light, completely submerging his body.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------
When the light fell on him, Luo Ya's self-feeling can be said to be quite chaotic.
At this moment, although the body of the black-haired boy seemed to be still at the top of the huge pyramid-shaped building, the soul seemed to float up through the light and head towards the sea of stars.
Wait, is this the memory of [Swallowing Light]
Roja, who was surprised by this inexplicable feeling, thought so, the [Crown] element in his body began to tremble crazily, and at the same time the voice of the system also rose in his ears.
【warn】
[Crown Stone Prototype Detected]
[Analysis begins]
[Analysis complete]
【Startup of auxiliary absorption system】
[Detected a shortage of host funds, open the lending system]
【Whether to pay 100,000 gold coins for absorption? 】
【whether】
"Yes!"
After a brief but firm answer, Roja’s negative equity went up again, but the black-haired boy didn’t mind, and at the moment it finished answering, a familiar feeling was in his body. The rapid emergence is exactly the feeling of the formation of the crown stone.
The power in the body soars at an unimaginable speed, but in Roja’s senses, what is experienced is a continuous acceleration process. At first it feels like a fast flight. The stars next to him are one by one by the black-haired teenager. Left behind, however, as the speed increased, Roja's expression began to gradually change.
With the constant acceleration, everything in the outside world began to become blurred. The stars that could have been seen gradually elongated from one point to a line flying behind him, and Roja’s senses became numb. There is only one thought in my mind.
Me, became light.
Loaded with such feelings, Roja began his own interstellar journey, and the concept of time has disappeared from his mind since then. In this process of infinite acceleration, the crown stone in the body of the black-haired boy gradually took shape. With the completion of the last crown stone, the source of the [Crown] in Roja's body has also undergone significant changes.
The original silent [Crown] source substance burst into radiant light after such an impact. The six crown stones on it seemed to emit strange waves of jewels on the crown. Under this unprecedented wave of curse power, Roja’s The body naturally began to advance.
The promotion of Source Level 1, this is undoubtedly the most important ritual for the transcendent, but at the top of the pyramid at this time, the silver-haired girl looked at Loya in the light, but frowned tightly, crimson. A little doubt appeared in the pupils of his eyes.
Your elder brother, was promoted directly here
Such a question surfaced in Alyssa's heart, making the girl feel a little at a loss for a while. According to Alyssa's plan, Roja should only absorb the crown stone of [Swallowing Light], and he was really promoted to Source Level 1. It should be done in other places and after all preparations have been made, but the current situation has changed.
Although Roja doesn’t feel anything, it’s actually been more than two hours since he was a teenager. Because it’s absorbing power, Roja shouldn’t feel tired, but it’s too bad to start to be promoted to Gen. 1 immediately. NS.
Promotion is not a big skewer of songs, and there is no bonus effect for the next song. On the contrary, continuous promotion will have a lot of unpredictable dangers, but these are not what Eliza is worried about now. The girl really feels wrong now, it is near Roja. Several other curses.
On the platform at this time, the six curses representing the [Six Plagues] in ancient times are emitting strange wave of curse power between each other. This is undoubtedly abnormal. Originally, Alisa wanted to absorb Immediately after passing the crown stone, he took Luo Ya Li Kai, but now he can't leave.
Do you want to interrupt the promotion of your elder brother
No, it doesn't work.
After a brief period of thought, Alisha shook her head, not daring to interrupt Roja’s promotion, but she stood still and made the silver-haired girl unwilling to do so. When Alisha was tangled, the change suddenly occurred. happened.
"boom!"
On the platform, the six curse objects that continuously emitted fluctuations of curse power suddenly burst into violent light with a loud noise at the moment when the fluctuations coincided. At this moment, the freezing air rose into the sky with the evening-colored wind and haze, and died. The thick smoke of dark clouds and lava mixed with a roar, and the mist and aurora also filled the space.
"My brother!"
In the huge fluctuation of curse power, the whole building began to tremble violently. The girl with pale eyes widened and exclaimed, but nothing could be changed. On the other hand, the youthful consciousness in the light was in multiple powers. At the moment of sudden arrival, he entered a space of holy white.
The change in the environment made Roya surprised. He looked around and found that he was in the air. Below was an altar carved with ivory, and in the center of the altar was the figure of a woman.
At the moment when he saw the figure of that woman, the black-haired boy's golden eyes suddenly widened, and the whole person was struck by lightning. The reason is very simple, because he had seen that figure, not only he had seen it, to a certain extent , Most people in this world have seen it.
The name is Shia.
-------------------------------------------------- ------
What will happen when the six crown stones are collected? Roja once did consider this issue, but he did not come to any conclusions. After all, no one has ever done this in history.
The appearance of 【Six Plagues】is random. Some people can only encounter one or two in their lives, and some encounter a lot, but they lose their lives because of their lack of strength. Although some people have overcome the 【Six Plagues】 Eh], but it does not have the ability to absorb the Crown Stone.
For all these reasons, none of the ancestors of the Acate family collected all of it in the past, but Roja did it today, and this resulted in an obviously impossible meeting.
Looking at Xia standing in the center of Shengbai’s altar, Roja’s brain seemed to have stopped turning. He quickly fell to the ground and approached the woman with black hair and golden eyes, just like the instinct of life.
Xia has already left. Roja naturally knows this, but even if it is a shadow, the black-haired boy wants to get closer, because it is not only the mother of all living beings, but also gives Roja 【Living to Death 】This blessing, the benefactor who helped him out of danger countless times.
With excitement, Luo Ya quickly came to Xia, but what he didn't expect was that, for some reason, the face of the original goddess in front of Luo Ya at this time was not the smile that he had seen in the past, but was mixed. With expressions of surprise and slight resistance.
Looking at the black-haired boy in front, the woman's golden pupils trembled slightly, and her body took a step back unconsciously, and when she saw Xia like this, Roja couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Even though Roja recognizes Shia, the woman in front of him does not recognize Shia, no matter what Shia's residual consciousness or whatever. The black-haired boy who thought of these hurriedly stopped, and then bowed slightly. .
"Dear Sir Shia, my name is Roya Akat, and I am the king of the generation of the king..."
"Xia?"
Hearing the introduction of the young man in front of him, the black-haired and golden-eyed woman was taken aback for a moment, and she unconsciously raised such a question, but she soon realized that her eyes were widened. On the other side, the black-haired young man was facing away. Doubts.
"Sir Shia... What's wrong, please?"
"... No, it's nothing."
Facing Loya's question, the black-haired woman shook her head slightly after being silent for a moment. She raised her eyes to look at the boy in front of her. There seemed to be thousands of emotions hidden in the golden pupils, which were complicated and difficult to understand.
"Master Shia, sorry, my behavior just now was too sudden, but that was because..."
After facing each other for a few seconds, the black-haired boy turned his head and hurriedly asked to explain the previous rudeness. However, the woman shook her head, and instead reached out her hand to stroke the boy's cheek.
"Roja..."
"Yes, Lord Shia."
Feeling the touch of the Lord Goddess, Luo Ya couldn't help but froze for a moment, and then answered. The woman's golden pupils flickered and she seemed to be thinking of something, and she seemed to be thinking about something. After a long time, she asked a question with a hoarse voice.
"...Tell me, are you my child?"
