Chapter 1,184: The Skeleton of the Ancestral Dragon
Watching each believer fall down due to blood loss.
Archbishop Byron's expression remained indifferent.
The laws of survival of all churches have always been cruel.
Even the Temple of Holy Light, which looks majestic and majestic on the surface, and the Nature Sect, which pursues balance, are no exception to this.
Fanatic believers of the Holy Light system are willing to do anything that goes against human nature when devoting themselves to the Lord of Holy Light.
Paranoid Archdruids will develop an excessive desire for protection and initiate killings in the name of protection.
Therefore, the essence of any religion is a touch of madness.
At this time, Archbishop Byron was standing on a circular platform that was slightly protruding about twenty centimeters.
This platform is not only the central node of the ritual circle, but also the core altar.
Its location is exactly in the center.
Standing in the position of Archbishop Byron, one can clearly see the dripping blood flowing along the lines of the magic circle.
It's as if this place has been filled with a layer of scary blood-colored paint.
Then when the blood of those devout believers gradually dried up and their body temperature became cold.
Groups of blue souls came out one after another.
They swarmed towards the center of the magic circle and gathered at the altar at the feet of the archbishop.
This seemingly ordinary stone altar glows, shines, and projects a dark and cold color.
At this time, Archbishop Byron raised his right hand, holding a string of beads in his palm.
The number of beads on it is exactly thirteen.
At the moment, those beads are slowly lighting up one by one.
"Honor God!"
"The plan went very smoothly."
His deep voice echoed back and forth in the secret room.
His expression also changed from the original indifference to the joy of smooth progress.
After about two or three minutes, all thirteen beads lit up.
The timing is just right.
"The arrival of God's projection requires a sufficiently powerful carrier."
"It's time to use the terrifying giant monster that has been hiding in Jackdaw Valley for nearly a thousand years."
"Only it can attract the arrival of demigod-level divine power!"
Archbishop Byron said excitedly, his body trembling slightly.
When he spoke, his voice was simultaneously transmitted to twelve other ritual nodes.
"As you command!"
The elders responsible for the twelve nodes stood on the altars of their respective ritual circles and saluted from a distance.
Then he sat cross-legged with almost the same movements.
They took out the raven pendant from their chests and put it in their mouths, silently reciting ancient and light scriptures.
At the same time, his hands also formed complicated seals at an extremely fast speed.
"Buzz!"
The ritual circle immediately buzzed.
All the node chambers shook.
About ten seconds later, the first casting node that completed the seal suddenly shot out a beam of light.
This beam penetrated the layers of barriers between the ground and the secret room, and shot straight into the sky.
Thick beams of light can be seen everywhere in the giant city of Lentax.
And this is not over yet, shortly after the first beam of light appeared, the second, third, and fourth beams of light came one after another.
It wasn't until the thirteenth beam of light appeared that the abnormal movements of the nodes calmed down.
If you look at it from a very far distance, you will find that these thirteen light pillars form a strange symbol.
They penetrate deep into the sky, extending to places where distances cannot be discerned.
"Boom!"
The ground throughout the huge city was shaking.
The magnitude of the earthquake continued to rise, and eventually it became a state like earthquakes.
At the same time, the girls who had already evacuated were in a sloping orchard more than a hundred kilometers outside the city.
When drastic changes occurred in the giant city, a "rumbling" sound came from their rear defense.
It was as if a tsunami was sweeping across the distance, and the momentum was earth-shattering.
The girls turned around and saw the outline of the giant city of Lentax in the far distance shaking up and down at an extremely abnormal frequency. Even though they were more than a hundred kilometers away, the scene they saw from a distance was still terrifying.
That is a natural disaster level power.
Seeing this scene, Safuri subconsciously covered her mouth.
"here we go…"
She understands what this means.
At this time, Tasia walked up behind her thoughtfully, took her head in her arms and pressed it against her tall body.
"Don't worry, adults can resolve all crises."
The girls stopped and looked at each other, but no one had the intention to continue on their way.
…
His eyes returned to the city.
The violent earthquake shook everything in the city.
Both buildings and roadsides were severely damaged.
In the first and second circles, the damage to the houses and towers strengthened by runes was acceptable.
It's just that the houses are tilted and the ground is cracked.
The third circle and suburban areas are miserable.
The houses there collapsed like pieces of paper, and there were large areas of cracks on the road.
The largest crack is nearly 100 meters wide, extending from the south of the third circle to more than half of the city.
The crack looked bottomless, as if it had opened the door to the abyss.
Fortunately, the giant city of Lentax had been screened thousands of years ago when the site was selected for construction.
There is a thick rock foundation underneath this place, and the basic base is still very solid.
Such a sudden change naturally caused panic among the residents in the city.
The garrison and security forces mobilized urgently to go to the area where the light beam was erupting.
But they found that it was already in a state of isolation, and the existence of an inexplicable realm prevented outsiders from approaching.
Most of the legendary powerhouses in the city are inside the arena and cannot take into account the situation outside.
The few legendary strong men with free status are eager to leave immediately.
The situation at hand is not optimistic, and it is clear that the giant city of Lentax is in big trouble.
Few people who can grow into legendary strong men are fools.
In line with the principle of not joining in the fun, they chose to get out of the way immediately.
Strong shocks also affected the arena.
Penny, who was collecting blood from Prince Carter, put down the thin scalpel blade and blood-stained needle.
She just took a blood sample.
The sudden shock almost caused the container filled with blood to fall to the ground.
How can Carter Pendragon still have the aura of a prince today?
His earlobes were bleeding, his clothes were torn open, and there were traces of blood drawn from a needle on his chest.
The back of his head and feet were even gashed with blades.
The wound is still bleeding with blood.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
With his mouth gagged, he could only whimper feebly.
Penny couldn't care less about Prince Carter's condition.
Flower vines grew under her feet. These flower vines looked like dexterous pythons, building something like an arch.
When the image of the giant city appeared in this arch, the shaking basically stopped.
The thirteen light beams in the image are extremely eye-catching.
While she was observing the situation, the door to the secret room suddenly opened.
Marquis Henry walked in quickly.
"Honey, we're in trouble..."
…
The subsidence of the tremors means that the rituals of the Calamity Raven Church have entered a new stage!
Archbishop Byron, who was also sitting cross-legged, issued a brand new order.
"Open a long-distance teleportation channel directly to Jackdaw Valley!"
This order was quickly executed.
In the sky, a portal slowly appeared in the area constructed by thirteen light pillars.
This portal is extremely huge, with a diameter of twenty to thirty kilometers.
It hangs in the sky like a mirror.
As the portal gradually becomes clearer, the scenery at the other end also becomes faintly visible.
Ripples rippled on the portal, revealing a world of ice and snow.
There is the Jackdaw Valley!
"Bo!"
A crisp sound appeared, as if a bubble was popped.
The portal is officially connected!
The howling cold wind blew in.
Large groups of church apostles and believers passed through the portal, and then slowly descended to the ground.
First the infantry, then the crossbow archers and church priests.
Finally, there was a tall and strong cavalryman.
For this operation, the Calamity Raven Church almost devoted all its strength.
Millions of apostles descended on the giant city of Lentax through this giant portal.
Zong Shen is actually no stranger to this kind of portal hanging in the sky.
The demon army back then came to this world through a portal of similar shape.
With the arrival of the church army, new chaos broke out in the city.
The most panicked ones were undoubtedly the garrison troops.
Fortunately, the Apostle Legion did not launch an attack immediately, but immediately gathered together.
Using thirteen ritual nodes as dividing lines, a line of defense was built.
Because the transmission is far from over.
After the arrival of the Legion, a huge creature appeared in the portal.
Only the skeleton of this giant thing is left, and its back is seventy or eighty meters long.
This means that in a complete physical state, the monster's body length is likely to exceed one hundred meters.
There are also a pair of bony wings on both sides of the back, as well as strong hind limbs, tail vertebrae and forelimbs.
It wasn't until the end that its skull passed through the portal.
This revealed the true identity of this giant skeleton.
It was the head of a giant dragon, its flesh and blood had long been exhausted, leaving only white bones, with a few parts still covered with silver-white scales.
There is obviously no flesh and blood on this skeleton, but it can be tightly connected.
Moreover, the bones are very white, and there is a layer of light blue light that persists on the surface.
There is no doubt that this is a dragon, and it was at least an atavistic dragon when it was alive.
His strength is unfathomable, and he has a high probability of reaching the demigod level.
Because Xiao Heizi, who is an old dragon and has returned to his ancestral bloodline, his current body size is not even one-third of his skeleton.
And Xiao Heizi's strength is at the level of the legendary mid-level, not counting the blessing of the dragon's high-level talents.
In other words, the remains of this bone dragon definitely have a lot of history.
All the onlookers were shocked.
Including those legendary masters in the arena.
Chaval Bode raised his head and saw the arrival of the dragon skeleton through the barrier of the magic circle.
After all, the area constructed by those thirteen light pillars is really too large.
Even if you are in the second circle, you can clearly see the shocking scene happening there.
"That...that's..."
…
At the same time, Zong Shen and Xiao Heizi, who were also in the arena, were covered in blood.
All those swaying around were the corpses of elite garrison troops.
The broken armor of Avalon was stained with blood.
The air was filled with a fishy stench of organs and a rust-like smell.
There is no doubt that the blood in both master and servant comes from these unlucky garrisons.
The few remaining petty officers with hero-level qualifications were also knocked unconscious and taken into the [Captive Space].
Passing through the gate of the waiting area, Zong Shen saw the astonishing scene outside the shield.
Of course, as early as when the incident occurred, the strategy module that was being dynamically refreshed in his mind had already given him a hint.
[Calamity Raven Church Launching Ceremony]
…
[The ceremony has been started successfully, and the remote portal connecting to Jackdaw Valley is being opened]
…
[The portal is opened successfully, leading the apostles...receiving the church deacons...]
…
[The apostle group has been deployed and has begun to collect the bones of the ancestral dragon and the frost dragon]
…
So that exaggeratedly large skeleton was actually left behind by the ancestral dragon.
And that giant dragon was obviously not a common five-color dragon or metal dragon.
But a frost dragon with elemental characteristics!
Zong Shen thought, and information about the frost dragon suddenly emerged.
(The Frost Dragon was born out of the ancestral white dragon. It is a second-generation mutant and possesses the mid-level strength of a demigod at its peak. The descendants of the Frost Dragon are still distributed in the Endless Continent.
It mainly lives in the permafrost range of the North and has a strong affinity for frost.
Next, this ancestral dragon skeleton will serve as a container for the coming projection of the Raven God of Disaster.
The frost attribute it comes with is exactly in line with the frost characteristics of the Raven God.
It can make the projection of God exert stronger strength as much as possible)
…
"That's a big deal!"
"I didn't expect that the Calamity Raven Church would actually hide a precious ancestral dragon skeleton!"
"I think in normal times, this skeleton would be suppressed in Jackdaw Valley."
"It has always been a killer weapon."
Zong Shen thought about it in his mind and quickly came to a conclusion.
The Calamity Raven Church wants to use this ancient dragon corpse that has been treasured for a long time as a carrier or container for the projection of God.
Then one can imagine the intensity of God’s projection next.
Speaking of which, the projection of God seems to require a container.
The previous projection of Cthulhu was constructed from an eyeball that had been wandering in the star world for many years.
That is the material that belongs to the essence of God.
It should have been able to attract extremely powerful projections of alien gods.
However, the quantity and quality of the sacrifices accumulated by the Goblins were not high.
This makes the final projection strength not too strong.
Therefore, the arrival of the projection of God is probably mainly determined by two factors.
The first is the quantity and quality of sacrifices.
The second is the strength of the carrier.
Both of these are indispensable.
Today's Calamity Raven Church has both reached the standard.
Not only did he take out this dragon skeleton with a high energy level.
And plenty of sacrifices were prepared.
According to Safuri, the Calamity Raven Church did not hesitate to empty their fortunes for this operation.
That's almost hundreds of years of reserves for the church.
At that time, Safuri said: "The projection of God that was derived from this would at least have the strength of a semi-god."
It should be noted that the quantifier description used here is "least".
It means the starting power of demigods.
Even the pseudo-demon Lilia cannot compare with her in normal and demonic states.
After all, her evaluation is only "nearly a demigod".
Therefore, this wave of Calamity Raven Church may really turn the giant city upside down!
