The fog completely dissipated.
The sea of black fog that surged like a nightmare before dissipated into nothingness, as if it had never existed, leaving only a corroded street.
The exclamations of the surrounding city guards and church knights have not completely disappeared. Although they saw the disappearance of the two-headed giant, they do not know why, but the powerful power fluctuations are still shaking their hearts. Only a few mages are aware of it. , the two-headed giant just now was just a phantom, and it should have completely dissipated now.
But Joshua shrugged and said softly: "Farewell, Organa."
The passing of gods is no different from that of ordinary people, they are all so silent.
And just when he was about to take steps and walk towards the old mage and others, the warrior suddenly discovered that his body did not have the weakness after temporarily losing his divinity.
On his bones, the mysterious runes are still flowing, absorbing the energy around him and constantly strengthening himself. A pure spiritual power from the outside world quietly supplements the divinity he lent to Organa before.
In this case, not only will he not be weakened by borrowing divinity, but he will also get some benefits. The warrior can even notice that he can make some predictions about whether he will be lucky in the future. This is probably Og A little gift from Na.
“… What a kind god.”
After a pause, Joshua could only express this emotion.
Waving to Hotaru and Rin from a distance, he abandoned the distracting thoughts in his heart and continued walking towards the other side of the Avenue of Truth. Along the way, the loose sand and dust made a crunching sound, and the decayed streets seemed to need to be renovated. The construction is really a disaster for the residents living here.
When passing the place where the two-headed giant disappeared, the warrior suddenly felt a little reflection flashing in the corner of his eyes.
He stopped naturally, then turned his head to look at the place where the reflection came from.
A strange transparent crystal.
"What is this? Energy crystal?"
Joshua frowned, walked slowly towards the crystal, and then picked it up.
And just when he picked it up, a violent energy flow exploded in the warrior's palm like lightning.
It was a terrifying power that was almost equivalent to the power of thunder. It was enough to completely blow up an ordinary bungalow into ruins. If it were on the battlefield, it was also enough to blow up the human beings within a ten-meter radius into rubbish. At the end, it would be destroyed.
But that's all. This kind of powerful spell may be more difficult for silver-level warriors. They may be able to withstand one shot, but they will definitely not be able to withstand the second one. As for gold-level warriors, as a battlefield The super meat grinder only requires a little attention and body-protecting fighting energy to resist it.
And Joshua is now an Ultimate Warrior, capable of serving as a legion commander and guarding a province. Although he has not fought yet after advancing, his strength is real, not to mention comparable to the Thunder Technique. Energy flow, even if it rains fire from the sky or washes the ground with lava, he can still accept it all without changing his expression.
The moment he remembered it, the black-red fighting spirit enveloped the bursting energy without any leakage. Joshua grabbed this strange crystal that seemed weightless, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and then shook it slightly.
Click, a crisp sound.
"Huh."
This time, he was really surprised. Joshua raised his brows and said in a surprised voice: "It's not broken, so hard?"
With this hold just now, he completely pressed the thunder in his hand back into the crystal. Although it seemed to be just a slight squeeze, the force was enough to crush the steel into thin paper. If it were an ordinary energy crystal, its structure would have collapsed long ago. It was completely shattered, but this translucent crystal seemed to be intact as if nothing had happened.
Joshua began to become a little curious. He could withstand the force of his palm. This was definitely not an ordinary thing. In addition, it was a crystal found in the place where Organa disappeared. Perhaps it was the remains left by that god.
Never heard of this.
To an outsider, it only took a few seconds for all this to happen. The warrior just leaned over to pick up something, and then clenched his fist slightly. Only the old mage, Saya and other powerful masters could discover that Joshua had just suffered in an instant. an attack.
The Sister was still describing a series of events that happened after Robzek had just woken up, but Nostradamus had no intention of explaining to his old friend Moore. Of course, the old mage knew about this level of energy explosion. It was just a breath of fresh air for the warrior, but this sudden situation made him more vigilant. He thought that the incident caused by the Box of Erebus was not over yet.
After instructing Vera to take good care of his mentor, the old mage immediately walked quickly towards Joshua, while Ying and Rin followed behind him, and the two walked towards their master with brisk steps. .
At this moment, Joshua opened the system.
"Appraisal."
[Tentative·Mysterious Crystal]
[...Item identification is in progress...Mythological knowledge judgment failed, divine object knowledge judgment succeeded, and special knowledge judgment succeeded.]
[Appraisal Report: Restless Divinity·Special Divine Item]
[Myth: Legend has it that the gods have immortal lives. Even death is just a short sleep for them. When the time is right, they will awaken again, but facts have proved that the gods will also be able to survive in the true sense. After death, this restless divinity is one of the various remains they left behind.]
[Father object: Restless divinity, as the name suggests, is a mass of ownerless and extremely restless divine power. It usually appears at the place where the god falls. These things are the core and most difficult to dissolve the power combination of the fallen god. Because it is too pure and too solid, this power cannot be used at all. Anyone who touches it will cause its counterattack. The strength of the counterattack depends on the state of the deceased god during his lifetime. Perhaps smart people can analyze some knowledge about gods from the divine power inside it, but the power within it is completely impossible to use.]
[Special: Divinity is originally formless and qualityless. It is a collection of certain concepts that is almost impossible to turn into an entity. However, perhaps the death of a god is an incredible thing in itself, so some gods will leave behind such special things after they fall. The restless crystal is useless except for attacking everyone who touches it. However, for some gods or people close to the realm of gods, observing these special crystals may have other benefits.]
[General: Transparent crystals containing divine power, although they seem ordinary and useless, are actually considered to be some kind of divine objects, especially for some special people.]
"Is it the divine crystal left behind by Organa..."
Standing up and looking up, Joshua held the crystal in his hand and looked at Nostradamus, who was walking quickly. He felt that there was a lingering thought in his mind, but he could not find the source. The warrior frowned. He frowned and said softly: "It's weird, this feeling."
"Joshua, how are you?"
Before the old mage could stop, he asked anxiously from a distance.
"Not bad, a little hungry."
Because he was thinking about the thoughts flashing in his mind, the warrior's answer was very perfunctory, but Nostradamus took it seriously. He immediately turned around and asked the mages standing far away to prepare food, while Hotaru and Rin quietly He stood back beside Joshua silently.
After the instructions, the old mage looked at the warrior carefully and found that the other party was indeed intact, and even his spirit had not changed much. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The black mist before was really too weird, even if he didn't investigate it clearly. He was also unwilling to take action at will. The old mage originally wanted to refuse Joshua's request to go in and explore, but in the end he agreed.
In fact, Nostradamus regretted it the moment he agreed. As a traditional mage, he felt that in the face of this unknown situation, he needed to study more and be cautious and careful. However, the performance of the warrior was indeed beyond everyone's expectations - The black mist that could make strong men like Robzek unconscious seemed to be afraid of him, and took the initiative to make a passage for him. Joshua entered the lowest level of the association unimpeded and eliminated Erebus. The problem with the box made the black fog dissipate.
Although the two-headed giant with powerful aura before did not know what was going on, Nostradamus had a guess in his mind. After all, the Box of Erebus was an ancient racial relic excavated from a sacrificial site, and The two-headed corpses that clearly dominate the scene are very similar to the two-headed giants in appearance, in addition to their size.
But now is not the time to think about this. He looked at the sky and saw that it was late at night. Nostradamus shook his head: "I have to report this matter to Israel again tomorrow, although he was paying attention the whole time. , but this form still has to go, Joshua, you have made great achievements again, this time the entire Royal Mage Association owes you a favor... "
"I see!"
Rubbing the hair of Hotaru and Rin, Joshua, who was thinking, his eyes lit up when he heard the name of Israel, His Majesty the Emperor. He finally understood what the lingering thoughts in his mind were.
He ignored what the old mage said next, and his brain began to work rapidly, recalling the information he knew in his past life and now.
Israel Diamond, emperor of the Northern Empire, died in late 839 or early 840. Since the initial news was concealed by the royal family, the exact time is not clear, but the error will not be less than two months.
His Majesty the Emperor suddenly left in his prime and middle age, causing the entire empire to fall into great turmoil. The departure of a legendary powerhouse was not only a huge loss in the empire's high-level combat power, but also made many forces feel different. With this kind of thinking, since there was no accurate will, the princes and princesses began to compete for the throne with the support of the forces behind them.
The civil war waged by the seven princes and princesses caused even more losses than the previous war with the orcs. The original empire was not very stable due to the expansion of the Black Forest territory during the Great Development Era. Under this situation, it was reduced to a semi-independent region. The Northern Empire returned overnight to the state it was in ten years ago, even worse.
The following plot has been told many times. What Joshua is most concerned about now is why a legendary strongman died suddenly in his middle age.
Those are legendary strong men, gods who walk in the world. In ancient times, they were even demigods who could control the wind and rain. Their power can even break down the world barrier and shuttle through the void at will. If this level of power is said to be violent, Damn it, Joshua was the first one not to believe it.
But before that, in the Holy Emblem Hall, the warrior noticed that Israel had a hidden injury that damaged the origin of life.
This kind of hidden injury is caused by burning too much life before becoming a legend. It is also caused by some kind of injury caused by the enemy. It will continuously drain the injured person's vitality, even the legendary strong man is no exception. , the tree buds of the Tree of Life have a small chance of curing this injury, but it seems that Israel did not succeed.
But even so, it is unlikely that Israel will die in five or six years. After all, he is a legendary strongman and a dragon knight famous for his physical strength. It is not a problem to delay it for more than ten or twenty years, but now , but Joshua roughly understood the reason why the other party died suddenly.
It was this divine crystal in his hand.
If Joshua had not traveled through time and everything had followed the original plot of his previous life, then the chaos that arose in the Royal Mage Association would have been suppressed immediately by the determined Nostradamus and Israel. With the existence of God, he will naturally not be troubled by the mist of divine misfortune, and he can also detect something wrong with the Box of Erebus. Maybe this Emperor has communicated with the God of Despair and Luck, just like Joshua communicated with the other party. That way.
However, His Majesty the Emperor is not as wishy-washy as Joshua. Even if he does not want to become a god, he still wants to know how to heal his injuries.
After all, Ognar is just Ogor—the god of ogres in other novels in his previous life. It is unlikely that he knows any profound solution. The only answer is probably to teach the emperor how to cultivate the god. Sex, let him become a divine being as soon as possible, so that the hidden wounds will be healed without treatment.
But...cultivating divinity is not as simple as it sounds. In some cases, it is even more terrifying than the hidden injury of losing vitality.
Turning his head to one side, Joshua looked thoughtfully at the old mage who was sighing slightly in the direction of Morlai Palace.
Perhaps he had a way to help the emperor who was later said to have died young
As for why Joshua wants to help, the reason is actually very simple. It is not for his own benefit, nor is it so that the people of the empire will not have to suffer from civil war in the future, nor is it so that there will be one more legend or even a higher level when fighting against the abyss in the future. Help.
The warrior didn't think about so many complicated things at all.
"I haven't fought him at full strength yet."
Muttering lowly, Joshua shook his head, then took back his hands and pinched his knuckles hard.
"It would be a pity to die so early."
