Chapter 173: Deep Suffering (41): The End

"Hmph, you can actually restore human body and consciousness? It seems that your [Order] ability does incorporate some unspeakable terrifying power. However, that should be the end of it. Your Majesty the Emperor, your life is accelerating.

Time passes, this is...your price." "Future" commented.

He put his remaining right hand behind his back, trying his best to cover up the bark-covered "Devil's Arm" caused by the "dedication" of "Zhuo Genzhi". Every step he took would leave traces on the white ground.

The deep red footprints, as well as the blood that was brought out when Ivan XXII's chest was pierced with his bare hands just now.

Fortunately, the power of the ancient gods did not "favor" him more, but quickly dissipated after the battle. His eyes returned to their original light black and pure appearance, and half of his face that had just been mutated returned to normal.

The color is just paler.

Looking up at the "future" with a victor's attitude and no more expressions on his face, Ivan XXII recognized that he was doomed to fail. He did not choose to defend his actions anymore, and his dying body also

Aggressive behavior is no longer supported.

He just took a few deep breaths, vomited out a mouthful of dark, sticky blood, and sighed:

"I... even though I knew that the empire was destined to perish, I tried my best... to take measures, but still failed. Moreover, the plan to revive me... well... was not strangled in the cradle by those strong men.

Federation soldiers, but you two...'New Humanity' teenagers."

"Nothing is eternal, and there is no unchanging world." "Future" maintains a posture of looking straight ahead, eyes slightly closed, eyes slightly downward, and a gloomy face, just like the god in charge of justice and death in the myth of the Central Empire.

, responded:

"The birth, establishment, development, expansion, prosperity, and final decline and destruction of an empire are just cycles of reincarnation. This is not only the 'reason' established by the Creator, but also the law of existence of the human race.

.

"It's like a machine that has been running for hundreds of years, has been repaired and is on the verge of being scrapped. Any means to forcefully extend its life will either only increase the pain of the machine itself, or bring pain to all those who use the machine."

"You mean... rules?" Ivan 22 smiled contemptuously:

"The laws set by the gods can be broken as long as the energy is strong enough. Since we can create the laws, we can also transform them. The entire world is only created by the will of the Creator. As long as the human will is strong enough, we can also create all things.

"

"But He cannot create a stone that cannot be lifted by himself, if the will is omnipotent." "Future" retorted:

"Actually, you are the greatest emperor of the Crusted Empire. In your era of 'Glory of the Double-Headed Eagle', the Crusted people will be wary of the artillery made by Binglin City no matter where they are in any corner of the continent.

Involuntarily, he raised his head proudly.

"If your ultimate goal is not to obtain the five sequence cores, be promoted to a demigod, or even become a true sequence god, as the emperor, you only need to push the glory of your creation to the peak as much as possible, cultivate successors, and let him

Try your best to maintain the golden age.

"Instead of trusting scientists like Ivanov, the 'unintentional virus' was created and released into the world hundreds of years later, causing disaster."

"Future" said, choked up, then turned away, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and continued:

"I don't know how long this kind of war will last. You should know that the 'new humans' you call only account for one ten thousandth of those eroded by the 'virus'. We lost ones can only control it within a limited range.

'Heartless man'. Even as the 'leader' of the 'Order Society', with a power that exceeds that of most of the Lost, I can only lead them to undertake limited battle missions.

"When our magic power is exhausted, they will disperse due to instinctive hunger and attack wantonly in the wilderness, ice fields, villages and cities, 'infecting' more humans.

"Human beings have been looking for ways to solve problems and end the wasteland for hundreds of years. In addition to developing the 'Federal Agent No. 0' to remove and resist the 'virus', they are also replicating the technology created in your era.

Products, eliminate as many 'unintentional people' as possible, as well as our lost ones.

"And we, the Lost, are also looking for a way to redemption. We can either choose to cooperate with humans, or we can continue to dig out the buried ruins of the previous era, and gain as much inspiration for promotion as possible through sequential monsters and more extraordinary things.

"We believe that once the first lost person truly touches the rank of gods and is promoted, he will be qualified to call the sleeping Creator, ask Him to wake up briefly, send blessings, end the long night, and usher in the dawn."

After listening to "Future"'s narration, Ivan 22 was silent for a few seconds, and then sighed deeply. His facial expression was very complicated, and he raised his head hard, as if he was looking at the unreachable sun in the sky.

, or maintain the arrogance and self-esteem of being an emperor.

He maintained this posture that was inconsistent with his slumped body and said:

"Perhaps there really is no empire that transcends a thousand years, and maybe the new era is not the human federation led by Crusted. However, I cannot admit that the 'New Construction Plan' was a complete failure. In order to plan the 'Ivanov Virus'

I have spent almost half my life on the "new construction plan" for human transformation, and I have also sealed myself here for thousands of years.

"Actually, my consciousness was not completely closed during my sleep. I could occasionally understand the outside world through those 'half-dragon' teenagers. But as time passed, their souls disappeared in front of me one after another, until finally

The boy who stole your "perception concealment" has also disappeared, so I guessed that the time for me to wake up has arrived.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The only success of the 'New Construction Project'... is to create 'new human beings' like you... The lost ones are obviously just teenagers, but under the influence of the devil

Your strength, fighting skills, and weapon usage surpass any top [soldier] who has been trained for many years. Moreover, your courage, perseverance, willpower, and decisive thinking far exceed those of the humans of the era I ruled. Isn't this an evolution?

"

"We would rather not evolve like this!" Luo Ka rushed forward, his face flushed with anger, and pressed the "Silver Sunflower" pistol that Ivan 22 had just given to his head, using a childish but stern expression.

The voice scolded:

"Do you know how much pain we have suffered? Do you know how much danger of death we have faced? If you survive during the war, your only thought every day is how to fight, strive to become stronger, and avoid being killed by more powerful creatures or

It is natural that your subordinates and subjects can be so good if they are destroyed by weapons.

"Excellence at the cost of death and war is cruel excellence. Under the coercion of fate and death, we are forced to face a 'zero-sum game'. When fighting, if you cannot defeat the opponent, then what awaits you is not failure and humiliation.

But a painful death.

"The war leaves us no time to think about anything other than survival. Without your order to release the 'Heartless Man Virus', 'Future' and I, as well as Brother 'Ice Blade', we should have been learning and growing happily.

"Brother 'Ice Blade' actually prefers machinery. He may enter the best factory in Crusted to develop machinery, while 'Future' and I can freely choose the direction of our growth, either go to the magic academy to study magic power, or

Travel around the world, to the eastern part of Crusted, to the central empire, and even to Khitanris, to see those mysterious and attractive ancient civilizations."

Luo Ka's last few words were almost spoken in a crying and venting tone. At this moment, facing the founder of the disaster, he could finally shout out all his anger, unwillingness, grievance and pain.

But facing Lorca's gesture, Ivan 22 just sneered and retorted:

"For all mankind, personal happiness is not worth mentioning. I still insist that 'war is the catalyst for progress', but I also admit that there is still no hope in this world. You two have such powerful magic power and extraordinary power.

and professional strength, but are not reused by the current Federation, and they have not even given you enough resources and protection. This is not the reason for the 'New Construction Plan', but the despicability of human beings themselves.

"I will die, but these [warriors] I carefully selected who are sleeping here will still wake up. They will go to every corner of the empire, or integrate into the local human federation, or into the 'New Humanity' organization. In short, fighting

Victory cannot test whether you or I are right or wrong, only time and history can."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty the Emperor, I will not let them wake up. I have the last bit of the power I borrowed from the ancient gods through the 'Zhuo Gen's Roar'. The information left by you and the empire tells me that, except for you, connecting these [Warriors"

]’s ‘cultivation cabin’ is the cleverly disguised energy supply device above our heads.” “Future” said:

"They transform the surging power of the 'underworld' plane into energy that sustains life and promotes evolution. As long as it is broken and the energy in the body is cut off, they will never be able to wake up again."

After "Future" finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand behind his back and recited the language used to praise the ancient gods in "Only the Bishop".

Soon, a black ball lightning formed from his rough fingertips. With a slight push, the lightning floated into the air like a real balloon, penetrated the top plate made of unusually strong composite metal, and rushed into the machine.

.

Zizzi—pop!

Violent electric currents and dull explosions passed by, and the light emitted from the surface of the surrounding culture cabins quickly disappeared. These originally transparent hatches were quickly shrouded in a layer of white mist. Within a few seconds, the white mist turned into ice crystals, marking the

Their chances of recovery have been minimized.

"Okay, okay, okay." Ivan 22 nodded his head angrily and desperately. He barely supported his body, suppressed the trembling at the corners of his mouth, and asked "the future":

"Without promoting the evolution of the 'New Construction Plan', how do you plan to end the war and usher in the glorious era of the 'Star Era' after the 'Restart Era' when humans explore the universe? Could it be that you just want the chaos to continue until human civilization

Will they perish, create new species to dominate the continent, and fall into an endless cycle?"

"No." "Future" shook his head, looked at Ivan 22, and said confidently:

"We plan to find 'Plamini', the power of fire, and the 'Lord of Eternal Red', the god who controls the fire behind it. You may not know that in the middle ten years of your rule of the empire, the annual fiscal revenue of the empire has increased

One-fifth are missing.

"Those officials in charge of finance are so smart and wise that the financial statements and budgets they produce for the empire are almost seamless, and they even hide it from you."

"What do you want to express?" Ivan 22 asked nervously.

"They did not pocket this wealth, but gave it to Ivanov, a scientist who was infected by the 'virus' and whose heart and body were made of steel and died in pain." "Future" replied:

"With these funds, he established countless observation points in the ice and snow wasteland of the extreme cold zone behind your back to search for areas where the 'red wave' and 'ice overflow' phenomena occur. He is not entirely a supporter of science.

, he also has faith in the Lord.

"After ten years of research, he discovered that sequential monsters mostly appear in the extreme cold zone near the west, and the god 'Plamini' is also sealed in this area. Find the 'Lord of Eternal Red',

Relying on his power can make it easier to build spacecraft for exploring the universe. Even taking a step back, in his research report, 'Pramini' may not only be a code name or a spiritual symbol, but a... we

It is currently unknown, but it will eventually be widely used. It is an energy source that is purer than oil and has great power.

"Besides, now we also know that the 'Mechanical Praise' ritual initiated by the Zinni people has long summoned an...evil god from an alien plane for us. He calls himself the 'Echoer', and he is also sealed in

Under the ice and snow, and like you, he is a [Order].

"In other words, the future world is no longer controlled by your predecessor [Order]. The new order and the new future will be led by Wright Sugra, the new [Order].

"

"Okay, okay." At this moment, Ivan 22's tense spirit finally collapsed completely without the influence of extraordinary power.

Such a collapse is not only the humiliation caused by the denial of ideas, the complete misunderstanding of actions, and the complete failure of the game of power, but also the destruction of hope and the death of the spirit.

He stood up staggeringly, stretched out his hands from the broken dress, and wanted to use his last strength to rush towards the "future", grab his throat or tear him into pieces.

However, as a bullet penetrated the throat behind him, Ivan 22 was forced to stumble back to his original position, leaning against his own "culture cabin", struggling, and watching the last bit of blood in his body drain away.

The great emperor felt that he was lying on a boulder in a land of lush water and grass, carrying the breath of the sea breeze, and his ears echoed with poems and music that seemed to come from afar.

These repeatedly chanted poems and music, mixed with the sound of sirens that make people feel peaceful and calm, praise the great people who are yearning, holy, bright and gentle.

Gradually, with the loss of life force, Ivan XXII heard in his ears the scriptures composed of Chinese that the patriarchs had recited during their sermons in St. Ivan's Cathedral.



Just now, the person who penetrated Ivan 22's throat and took away the last bit of his life force was not Lorca holding the "Silver Sunflower", but Dark Tiris who was wearing a federal army uniform behind him.

After he walked deeper into the passage behind the slate of cards from Zhuoriyigo, he did not go directly to the "lowest bottom", which is where Ivan XXII is, but entered the place where the old empire's huge

The "weapons warehouse" of technological weapons products.

It's a pity that there are still many "mechanical dog-headed monsters" guarding there. He, Wulfya and Luonie fainted after a hard battle.

After waking up, Wovya and Ronai had long disappeared, while Dak used the old radio given to him by the "Echoer" to find the direction of departure in this "deep ruins", perhaps to find the way out.

After a day, maybe two days, just when his mental and physical strength was about to be exhausted, he entered this technological space and happened to see the scene of Ivan XXII attacking the "future".

Since both Dak and "Future" were already exhausted by this time, the erosion and fighting of "Shang" during this period not only consumed the three people's magic source power to the extreme, but even their spirits were on the verge of fainting and collapse.

Dak and "Future" did meet briefly at the Pashain Temple in Xinfeng Town, and Mo Lun briefly met at the intrigue "concert" underground in the "Town Management Center Building", and first in the "Beidou District"

They had an encounter with each other in obtaining the "Heart of Eternal Cold".

Lorca, on the other hand, is a member of the "Chaos Group" who has been monitoring Dark, the [chaos-maker].

The two sides are not enemies, but friends to a certain extent. In terms of preventing the "universe energy evolution platform", they are friends.

But now is not the time to reminisce about the past, and neither side knows the other's purpose at the moment. Moreover, this shift from testing and observation in the dark to contact and cooperation in the open is not the purpose of the "Chaos Group".

Therefore, both Dak and "Future" just raised their guns and faced off briefly for a while.

About four or five minutes later, noisy, messy, sharp notes came from the old radio in Duck's arms, conveying some information to him.

Immediately afterwards, Dak looked at "Future" and Lorca cautiously, then activated the newly understood "invisibility" skill exclusive to "Chaos Inducer", and left here following the instructions of the old radio.

Soon, the electricity in this technological space was finally exhausted, and the lights above the head and the lights on the statues and models began to go out one after another. Because the device that maintained the energy here was destroyed by "Future" himself, water flow began to flow from all directions.

Converging towards the deepest point of this "deep ruins of suffering".

"Let's go, Lorca, you can leave here. The 'Search' ability of my [Explorer] profession tells me that when the water fills this place, go to the end of the space in front of you, vertically upward, without making any movements, and you will be captured.

Take the vortex away from here." "Future" said.

Soon, as predicted by "Future", they struggled to swim forward after the water submerged their bodies, and were pushed vertically upward by a powerful force at the end.

As the "Bitter Relics" moved upward, they were stuck on the left and right, struggling to avoid the stone pillars, stones and metal debris floating everywhere after the internal space collapsed.

Finally, after seeing the light belonging to the sun, Luo pulled the arm of "Future", used up his last strength to surface, and greedily breathed in the clean and fresh air under the golden sunshine.

Looking around, the two found themselves in the center of the "man-made lake", surrounded by solid ice, and this happened to be one of the few gaps.

After swimming hard up the ice and walking for about half an hour, Luo Ka and "Future" finally dragged their wet bodies to the shore.

At this moment, it happens to be the dusk moment when it is neither day nor night. The sun's rays are bright and soft, spreading a golden breath of hope to the earth.

Fortunately, there was neither snowfall nor cold wind, nor rumbling sound of artillery fire. Everything seemed so quiet and silent.

Looking around, "Future" and Luo Ka discovered that the area near the northern shore of this "man-made lake" did not seem to have many traces of human activities for the time being. It was an empty, endless frozen lake with no war, no smoke, no killing and

Death is nothing but pure and holy, leading mankind to peace.

After resting for a moment, when the last ray of golden light selflessly poured onto this land full of pain and hope, Luo Ka slightly surged a little magic power belonging to the flame to dry his body and clothes together with those of the "future".

Taking advantage of the break before the long night, Luo Ka stood up, pulled up "Future", and whispered in a childish voice:

"We have obtained the last 'device limit' chip, 'Future'. Let's go back together and have a good rest in our camp for a day. I estimate that the next war... may be even more cruel."
