Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

In front of Backlund's mausoleum near East Tucker County, Georgina, who was wearing a level 0 sealed item, was imprisoned by Philip I using the power of "order".

Philip I waved his hand towards the mausoleum, and he restored the normal order of the real world to the environment around the mausoleum.

The mausoleum built in the mountain immediately began to collapse without the support of extraordinary power.

Philip I smiled slightly and said to Georgina, who was still struggling: "Tell William that we are settled!"

A few months ago, William I prevented Philip I from accommodating the unique path of the "Judge" and razed the palace of the Kingdom of Feneport to the ground, causing countless casualties, including Philip I himself.

Well now, George III failed in his promotion and he took revenge.

Philip I didn't wait a moment longer and turned away from the collapsed mausoleum.

In the blink of an eye, He had disappeared from Georgina's sight.

…

Boom~

The majestic black mausoleum became trembling, as if it would collapse in the next second.

George III shuddered and became more unreal and abstract.

He had no time to argue with Hobert now, and all his energy was spent on stabilizing the situation.

Hobert said again: "Execute immediately!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand toward the top of the mausoleum and "tampered" with the mechanical structure of the entire mausoleum.

The bricks and stones that made up the mausoleum collapsed immediately, and it seemed that they could fall down at any time. However, because of the extraordinary support, even though there was such a big gap, it never collapsed.

Then Hobert used his "exploitation" ability to temporarily lose the effect of those extraordinary powers. The huge black stone bricks above his head began to fall, and the entire mausoleum began to collapse.

But these huge stone bricks seemed to have eyes. None of them fell towards the three Hoberts, nor did any of them fall towards the almost illusory George III.

Occult symbols spurted out around George III, threatening to bury him.

He looked at Hobert with pain on his face: "So you are..."

Before he finished speaking, he was completely buried by the occult symbols. The gushing occult symbols and the distorted space suddenly stopped.

Bang~

It was like a small-scale explosion, the occult symbols gradually disappeared, the distorted space gradually returned to normal, and the position of George III turned into a black mist, as if the occult explosion just now blew up the king. .

Hobert immediately used the power of "twisting" to move Xio and Freya five kilometers away and turned their backs to this side.

Extraordinaries below the level of demigods may receive a huge mental shock even if they just take a look at Uniqueness.

This black mist quickly condensed and split into four, each turning into a gorgeous crown with a huge black gem. The space around the crown kept ripples in circles, as if it was suspended on the water. rather than in mid-air.

This is the uniqueness of the "Black Emperor" path.

The other three are three black light groups. They seem to have no entity and are very illusory. They seem to be real at one moment and not in the real world at the next.

This is the extraordinary characteristic of three copies of the "Black Emperor" path sequence 1 "Prince Slaughter".

"It's finally time to pick up the loot." A voice sounded from behind Hobert.

Even without turning around, Hobert could tell that it was Eris.

Hobert immediately rushed towards the extraordinary characteristics and threw a piece of "Order Crystal" to wrap up a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of "Prince Slayer".

…

In Backlund City, on Remembrance Day Square.

"My subjects..."

The serious and old-fashioned George III, who had a mustache and was finishing his speech, suddenly exploded.

His flesh and blood turned into fireworks and sprayed into the air.

When Audrey and others in the audience saw this scene, it was as if they were enjoying a large-scale magic show. For a moment, no one realized what happened.

After a few seconds, the scene became chaotic. Amidst the screams, the soldiers of the King's Guard rushed to the high platform.

Audrey looked at the situation in front of her with a dazed expression, and then she realized that she was not too surprised.

…

In front of the mausoleum in the east of Backlund, near East Chester County, William I and Bernadette seemed to realize something at the same time, and they each took a step back in tacit understanding.

Bernadette turned into a stream of information and quickly disappeared.

William I looked in the direction of Backlund and sighed: "Failed."

Also in a mausoleum in the eastern suburbs, Klein found an opportunity to hide in "Grossell's Travels" because he was no match for Zaratul's true form.

At the moment when he entered "Travel Notes", his spirituality felt something. The mausoleum not far away from him suddenly became different from before.

He couldn't tell exactly what was different. It seemed that all the extraordinary power had been lost there.

Klein was overjoyed, it was a success! Hobert and the others must have succeeded!

The next moment, he had appeared in the city in "Travel Notes".

Without stopping, Klein went directly into the "Miracle City" Levished hidden in "Travel Notes" and came to the door of the Honesty Hall.

The probability of summoning "0-08" is higher here. He plans to use this sealed object to make Zaratul make mistakes and find opportunities to escape.

Entering the Honesty Hall, Klein used it more than a dozen times and finally caught "0-08".

Suddenly, he found that everything around him was wrong. The stone pillar full of vicissitudes of life that was originally in the "City of Miracles" suddenly turned into a cross hundreds of meters high.

Inside the Honesty Hall, there are rows of black seats with backrests, but there is only one person praying.

He, or rather He, wore a simple white robe and had a pale golden beard that covered half of his face. He was none other than Adam, the King of Angels.

He slowly stood up and said with a calm expression: "George III fell and Roen's morale was severely damaged. Intis stopped watching and decided to take the opportunity to launch an attack. This war began to truly sweep the world!"

At this moment, Klein realized that his act of summoning "0-08" was exactly what Adam had been waiting for, the opportunity to possess this "Travel Notes".

Adam continued to say warmly: "You can go!"

Klein immediately felt that the entire "City of Miracles" and the entire "Travel Notes" were rejecting him.

Fortunately, Adam, who had obtained "Travel Notes", created an opportunity for Klein to escape. Zaratul stretched out his slippery tentacles and suddenly disappeared out of thin air, giving Klein the opportunity to enter the pores of history.

…

To the north of Backlund, two angels from the Feysac Empire withdrew one after another.

To the west, another angel from the Kingdom of Feneport also left.

In the mausoleum near Ahowa County in the northeast, Triss was about to use the power of the ring she had previously carried from the historical pores to make herself the container of the "original witch".

But she realized that the tomb not far away from her suddenly lost any spirituality.

Triss and Grove were both slightly startled, but they seemed to understand something immediately.

Triss showed a sad smile: "This ending is really sad."

She was ready to die!

After saying that, Triss left here immediately, but Grove, who was wearing a wig, did not stop her.

In the tomb in the south, the reminiscence between Pales and Hermes ends here.

Hermes' mission is completed and he is ready to deliver.

And Pales had to rush to the next battlefield, which was why he was not too concerned about destroying the tomb before, because Hobert actually mainly asked him to help fight for the Sequence 1 characteristics.

In this tomb, all He has to do is show His face.

Arriving at another mausoleum that had completely collapsed, also in the southern suburbs of Backlund.

Hobert easily took away the extraordinary properties of one of the "Prince Slayers", which Adam had promised him before.

At the time, Hobert didn't understand why Adam said it would be in everyone's interest to have these characteristics and uniqueness belong to Hobert as much as possible.

It turns out that Adam had already realized at that time that the person competing with Hobert for these characteristics was an alien god.

At the level of Adam's King of Angels, he could give one of the Sequence 1 characteristics to Hobert, but when it came to uniqueness, Adam could only give Hobert a greater probability of getting it.

Although Eris is only at the level of Sequence 3, he has extremely high status in some aspects, so Adam cannot completely stop him from competing for characteristics.

Pales immediately joined the battle group and stole the "Execution" used by "The Balancer" Tamara on Hobert.

Hobert breathed a sigh of relief and used all his strength to deal with Eris, "distorting" the position of his outstretched hand, allowing Eris to grasp the extraordinary properties, and in the end only caught a stone.

The uniqueness and Sequence 1 characteristics of the "Black Emperor" path, of course, will not just sit there and wait for two people to fight for it.

The crown seemed to gradually become more flexible, and began to consciously avoid the grasp of Hobert and Eris.

There is a Sequence 1 trait that is attracted by uniqueness and follows behind the crown, much like a little kid playing behind a big kid.

Neither Hobert nor Eris directly grabbed the uniqueness because they were not sure. Eris's purpose was to obtain a Sequence 1 characteristic, while Hobert wanted to prevent him from obtaining this characteristic.

"Have you ever thought about a question?" Seeing that his intention was blocked by Hobert again and again, Eris suddenly smiled and asked: "Why are there only 'Black Emperor' and 'Judge' in the Fourth Age?" A 'high-sequence' Beyonder?"

Hobert stared at Eris coldly, seemingly unfocused by his question.

But in his heart, he thought: It seems that before the Fourth Age, there were no ancient gods, slave gods or gods of these two paths.

"If you have a chance, ask the 'Child of Chaos'!" Eris smiled: "The answer to this question is definitely beyond your imagination!

"You will know how I made an 'investment' in the bloodline of the Solomon and Tamara families!

“Although Trunsoest is more cautious, you should know that your bloodline has also been affected by me.

"Although Omi Bella and Onya have worked together to modify your bloodline, you will still be affected by me in the years to come! You will be contaminated by me unknowingly."

Hobert knew this. From the information he received from the vampires, the Queen of the Night, Onya, discovered this. There was an unknown substance belonging to the outer gods in Trunsoest's blood.

He smiled slightly: "Do you think your pollution is useful to me?"

"It's useless." Eris said: "But I can activate the arrangement in your blood bit by bit, and I will exert influence on you bit by bit, making you suddenly and briefly surrender to me at the critical moment. "

Hobert frowned. He was a little unsure whether he was lying to himself or the truth.

"Let's make a deal." Eris smiled very innocently: "As long as you get out of the way, I promise not to launch any attack on you until you reach Sequence 1!"

Hobert smiled: "Do I look like a fool?"

"Then I'm not welcome!" Eris stretched out his palm towards Hobert. Hobert's spirit suddenly became tense, and he was on guard with all his heart.

Eris waved his hand, and the extraordinary characteristic behind Hobert suddenly turned around, bypassed Hobert, and flew towards Eris.

Hobert smiled slightly and threw an "Order Crystal" towards the extraordinary characteristics again. He was just on guard against Eris's attacks.

As for the arrangements that Eris said he left behind in the Trunsoest family bloodline, Hobert knew that there must be such a thing, but it would definitely be difficult for Eris to use those arrangements at the moment, otherwise he would have found him long ago. himself, and used those arrangements to kill himself.

The extraordinary characteristics of "Prince of Order" seemed to realize that the "Order Crystal" was about to imprison it, and actually avoided it by distorting space.

This does not mean that this extraordinary characteristic has become conscious, it is just an "instinct" reaction of the extraordinary characteristic.

The reason why the previous extraordinary characteristics of "Prince Slayer" was captured in one go was thanks to Adam's arrangement.

But this characteristic is obviously not very "obedient".

Eris immediately used the "twist" to rush towards the extraordinary property. Hobert also immediately rushed over and pulled out a thin sword in the shape of a knight's sword, stabbing towards Eris.

If Eris does not dodge, even if he obtains the extraordinary characteristics of "Prince Slayer", his spirit body will be severely damaged, and it will be a severe injury that cannot be "gifted" at the demigod level.

Seeing that Eris had no intention of evading, Hobert added a little more strength to the sword he thrust out. At the same time, he grabbed Eris, and under his "distortion", a "spiritual vortex" was formed. , extracted a bit of spirituality from Eris.

When~

When Hobert was about to stab Eris, he was blocked by Eris with the thin-necked glass bottle he carried, and there was a crisp collision sound.

Then the glass bottle cracked and a stream of mist sprayed towards Hobert.

Of course, Hobert was not afraid of these mist. He just avoided the mist sprayed at him and still rushed towards the characteristics of "Prince Slayer".

Almost in the blink of an eye, the extraordinary properties of Hobert, Eris and the "Prince Slayer" were suddenly shrouded in mist.

In the fog, Hobert found himself lost. He injected his spirituality into the "Order Crystal" he carried, and it indeed resonated with the surrounding fog to a certain extent.

When he used the "Order Crystal" to disperse the fog, Eris and the characteristics of the "Prince of Order" disappeared, leaving only a thin-necked glass bottle with a hole on the ground.

While staring at the glass bottle, Hobert put the captured Eris spirit into an ampoule and sealed it with a "spiritual wall".

The mist in the narrow-necked glass bottle has always been Eris's trump card, but now he has used it to "exchange" that extraordinary characteristic.

Hobert raised his head. At this time, the uniqueness and a copy of Sequence 1 characteristics were already in mid-air.

The figure of William I suddenly appeared not far from Uniqueness. Just as he was about to reach out and grab him, Adam appeared beside him: "I warned the Augustus family before that you only have one chance."

As he spoke, the uniqueness and the characteristics of "Prince Killer" disappeared from everyone's sight.

If Adam appears immediately after the death of George III, he can completely regain the uniqueness of the "Black Emperor" path and all the Sequence 1 characteristics.

But Adam gave priority to grabbing "Grossell's Travels" and missed the best time to recycle it.

William I bowed slightly towards Adam and disappeared from mid-air.

Adam turned to Hobert and came to Hobert in the next moment. He said in a very calm tone: "Hobert Jeffrey took advantage of the confusion caused by the failure of George III's promotion to successfully digest the potion and prepare for his promotion." Made all preparations.

"Although the promotion process had some twists and turns, Hobert Jeffrey succeeded in the end."

Hobert expressed his sincere thanks: "Thank you for your blessing."

Adam continued: "Eris failed to become the 'Prince of Order', and Hobert will once again obtain the characteristics of 'Prince of Order' soon after becoming the 'Duke of Entropy'. At the same time, because of Hobert's own The characteristics make it easier for him to connect with the uniqueness of the 'Black Emperor''s path, which allowed Hobert to finally successfully obtain the uniqueness!"

Adam had only made a verbal agreement before to help Hobert gain the opportunity to obtain Uniqueness. This time, he directly used his own abilities to help Hobert strengthen his connection with Uniqueness.

Hobert realized that if Eris obtained the uniqueness of the "Black Emperor" path, it would be a disaster for the earth.

He asked: "Can't we just write Eris to death?"

Adam smiled warmly: "No."

Hobert asked again: "Can I successfully be promoted to the 'Black Emperor' in the future?"

Adam said calmly: "Unless you can be loyal to me."

Hobert was about to kneel down and take the oath.

Adam said unhurriedly: "Do you think I would believe the oath of a 'lawyer'?"

Hobert twitched his lips: Who are you looking down on!

"Even without anyone's help, the development of the situation is becoming more and more favorable to you." As he spoke, Adam disappeared into the air.

Hobert was slightly startled, feeling that Adam should have noticed something again.

He glanced at the sky. The seven gods might be watching here now. Since they have not taken action to seize the uniqueness of the "Black Emperor" path, it means that they recognized Adam's story.

But now was not the time to think about this. Hobert picked up the glass bottle discarded by Eris. This thing was of great research value to him.

Immediately afterwards, he took Xio and Freya and left immediately.

On the other side, because of Eris's departure, Tamara also found an opportunity to escape. Pales did not pursue her and disappeared into the air.

Almost in the blink of an eye, there was only a pile of ruins left here, as well as the golden wheat that had faded away and turned into a monster, a completely out-of-control Celtic.

The only thing that is still intact is the stone chair where George III once sat.

At this time, there were some black blood stains on the stone chair, which seemed to highlight the dirty rule of George III.

As soon as Hobert and the others left, "The Balancer" Deklin arrived at the scene. At this time, Selt, who had turned into a monster, seemed to realize something and immediately fled from the ruins.

As soon as Deklin raised his hand, the monster's almost crazy spirit was violently attacked, and it stood motionless.

Immediately after the monster returned to "balance", the mutated flesh and blood on its body quickly lost its vitality and fell to the ground. In the end, only an obviously deformed skeleton was left standing there, losing all vitality.

When Deklin took action, Georgina and Grove arrived one after another.

Deklin pointed in the direction of the skeleton, and the spirit body of Selt appeared in front of them with a painful expression.

When the "arbitrator" reaches the angel level, he can also "interrogate" the dead. Even if the spirit body has dissipated and only a corpse is left, he can still "interrogate" and come up with some clues.

After Deklin's "interrogation", they basically understood the battle that just happened in front of the tomb.

There is a Death Path, probably the "Ferryman" Extraordinary, who used the Sealed Artifact to defeat Celtic.

But after Celtic was wrapped in the "cocoon", what happened here is unknown.

Grove used the corresponding sealed objects to try to collect useful intelligence from the surroundings, but because Adam came, most of the information left around was destroyed, and in the end he only got some incoherent and unreadable information.

At this time, William I suddenly appeared in front of everyone from the void. Before Georgina and Grove could salute, William I said: "I have already gone to other mausoleums to 'inquire'.

"Now we are faced with two problems. The first is that the insiders who participated in the transformation of these tombs are all dead except for a few demigods, and their spirituality was forcibly expelled. How did Philip I and the others learn about it? The exact location of the mausoleum?

"The second question is that the attackers of the seven tombs are reasonable and are the enemies we have imagined before. But what organization did the 'Ferryers' and 'Insects of Time' who attacked the two tombs in the south come from? Or who sent it?"

Everyone was silent, because there was no clue about these two issues. They had gone to great lengths to keep secrets before, and there were almost no channels for leaking secrets.

The angel and the "ferryman" who suddenly appeared were even stranger. Judging from their actions, they must have known each other and probably belonged to a common organization.

But I have never heard of any organization that has both angels with the "Stealer" path and demigods with the "Death" path.

"Maybe we can start from another direction." Deklin suddenly said: "With the acquiescence of the gods, there are not many forces and individuals who hope to prevent George from becoming a god.

"The Feysac Empire, the Kingdom of Feineport, the Tarot Society, Bernadette, Triss, and the 'Creator'. The first five forces and individuals all participated in the war. Only the 'Creator' did not take action. This It’s very abnormal.”

William I nodded slowly and glanced at Georgina.

Georgina understood: "I'm going to test Hobert right now."

William I warned: "Pray to me before you see Hobert."

"yes."

…

After Hobert sent Xio and Freya back, he immediately came to the station of the 195th Division.

Archibald was smoking a cigar under a military awning. In order to make himself more like Hobert himself, he also took away two cigars specially provided for the royal family.
