Chapter 174 174 The Pilgrimage of Hundreds of Clans! Oum, the Patricide!
Chapter 174 174. The Path of Pilgrimage for the Hundred Clans! Olm, the Father-Slayer!
The King of Envy was defeated.
This earth-shattering news spread throughout the Rodri Continent in the first instant with the projection of the Seven Holy Artifacts.
Moreover, the one who defeated the King of Envy was not the Dawn Pope, who had already created the feat of defeating the Demon King and had been stripped of his human status and forcibly granted divine status.
But three old acquaintances who were familiar to many, many people.
The Elf Queen Lily Ace, the Great Guardian of the Tree of Life Roque, and the Black Dragon Patriarch Vasti.
Unlike the Dawn Pope, who appeared out of nowhere, like a deus ex machina, these three were genuine old-timers of the Hundred Clans.
Although the three of them were among the top powerhouses in the Rodri Continent, the Hundred Clans knew them inside and out.
They had all participated in the four previous Anti-Demon Wars.
They were also present when the Hundred Clan Alliance was repeatedly defeated by the Demon Clan and had no power to fight back.
They even had many experiences of being repeatedly defeated and fleeing in embarrassment when facing the Demon King's apostles.
But now...
They openly and legitimately defeated the shadow that shrouded the Hundred Clan Alliance, and defeated the projection of the King of Envy!
How could this be described?
It was like the country bumpkin who used to set off firecrackers and blow up cow dung with you in the neighbor's house was suddenly specially recruited by a world-class university a week later, and he was even doing a bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree all at once!
And after graduation, he could even directly enter the National Academy of Sciences!
The King of Envy disappeared, but the power of envy spread to the entire continent under the projection of the Seven Holy Artifacts.
For the Hundred Clans further away, the power of envy turned into envy and anticipation for the future.
But at the same time, some races also swallowed all of this envy, turning it into the local King of Envy of the Rodri Continent.
For example, the proud Behemoth Clan.
To this day, they still do not accept that Lily Ace and the other two have surpassed their limits and defeated the Demon King.
But this is not important.
What is important is that at the moment when the projection of the Seven Holy Artifacts in the sky gradually dissipated.
The figures of Lily Ace and the other two, as well as the countless people celebrating in the projection, became a permanent snapshot in the hearts of the Hundred Clan Alliance.
And...
That blow that far exceeded their understanding, inversely attacking the Domain of Envy and causing the King of Envy to completely rage.
Sea God!
The Sea God of the Dawn Church!
The Sea God in the Dawn Church who was enough for the Demon King to be afraid of, surpassing the abyss and critically striking the Demon King!
That kind of power that surpassed the upper limit of the Transcendent's cultivation understanding, if it had to be described, perhaps only the gods mentioned by the King of Envy could be compared.
But...
Isn't the god of the Dawn Church the Pope who holds the power of resurrection?
Sea God?
How many gods does the Dawn Church have?
This question did not echo in the hearts of the Hundred Clans for long. For now, the answer to the question is not important.
What is really important is that after today, the Hundred Clan Alliance may really enter the era of the Great Counterattack.
The Demon Clan's more frantic revenge is about to arrive, and the Dawn Church's more aggressive Eastern Expedition is also about to begin.
And they are just inconspicuous fish struggling in this torrent. If they want to survive, perhaps there is only one way.
This will also be the path they must pursue.
Lily Ace and the other two have been hovering at the peak of the Sage for hundreds of years, but now they have the power of the Law God?
Everyone knows that they don't have this ability.
Being able to surpass the limit and become a Law God, even a fool can see the common ground.
It's the Dawn Church!
They submitted to the Dawn Church and offered their faith!
Therefore, they obtained the qualification to be promoted to Law God, and obtained the immortal body that drove the King of Envy crazy!
A firm law gradually became the consensus in the hearts of the Hundred Clans.
"Only by joining the Dawn Church can one be qualified to face the Demon Clan and survive in the upcoming era of the Great Counterattack! And survive with glory!"
The Dwarf King faced the many Dwarf ministers and said sonorously:
"I must immediately go to the Land of Origin to meet His Holiness the Dawn Pope!"
This time, the many ministers did not immediately object and dissuade the Dwarf King.
After silently looking at each other, the next moment, they knelt down on one knee to the Dwarf King in unison.
"King, please allow us to go with you to pay homage to the truth!"
While Lily Ace and the other two were still enjoying the epic glory of defeating the projection of the King of Envy, and while the believers in the Land of Origin were cheering for the Dawn Church's crushing of the Demon Clan's plot once again.
Those Hundred Clans who were previously struggling with whether or not to submit, unanimously walked out of their clan lands and embarked on the path of pilgrimage to the east.
...
The war was won.
But this battle was not like the last time Ian personally took action, and did not cause much damage.
The Dawn Army that came to support suffered nearly three hundred casualties, but this can be ignored.
After all, they are believers with a formal organization, and at worst, they are members of the Adventurers and Magicians Guild.
They all belong to the category that Ian can resurrect. As long as the corpses are properly brought back, His Holiness the Pope will naturally resurrect everyone at the celebration party.
Back and forth, the Dawn Church only lost some renewable resources, a profitable deal.
But the losses of the Mermaid Clan were far too great.
Although the Dawn Church's support was timely, before the support arrived, the Mermaid Clan had already buried tens of thousands of elite mermaid warriors in this war.
These people did not have the lineup mark of the Dawn organization and could not be resurrected.
Such a loss is not considered to be a fatal blow to the Mermaid Clan, but it is still a major hemorrhage.
This is one thing...
Secondly, in the great battle of the King of Envy's projection, although Lochia stabilized the sea, the Mermaid Clan's land still could not bear the chaotic battle of the four god-level beings.
At this time, the turbulent undercurrents that have remained unchanged for ten thousand years in the Abyss have all disappeared, and all the buildings have been razed to the ground.
As expected, in about a year or two, the Abyss will completely disappear, and the Mermaid Clan will have to find a new clan land as soon as possible.
But this matter is not troublesome.
Based on this battle, the entire Mermaid Clan has already planned to surrender to Dawn and then move to a place close to Dawn.
As for the Crescent Moon Holy Ring, with Lochia around, it is also convenient to transfer.
For the Mermaid Clan, the most painful damage is the Crescent Moon Holy Ring.
Leaving aside the corruption by the demons, the root cause of this demon invasion was Ohm's rebellion.
The Crescent Moon Holy Ring was also corrupted at the hands of Ohm.
Therefore, the Crescent Moon Holy Ring is now completely disappointed in the merfolk, and even the protection it granted to the merfolk chief has been angrily withdrawn.
The Crescent Moon Holy Ring is no longer willing to continue protecting the merfolk.
In addition, the Crescent Moon Holy Ring has acknowledged Loki as its new big sister, and with the protection of the Dawn, it no longer needs the merfolk…
At least, the merfolk chief understands that the Crescent Moon Holy Ring has completely severed its connection with the merfolk, and the Crescent Moon Holy Ring's meaning is already very clear.
From now on, they are even, with no further connection.
This is the most devastating blow to the merfolk.
Without the protection and blessing of the Crescent Moon Holy Ring, the merfolk will soon fall from their position as a major race, and the strength of their warriors will not improve as rapidly as before.
But the merfolk chief accepts this outcome, for the merfolk have ultimately failed the Crescent Moon Holy Ring.
The merfolk chief also understands that even with the protection of the Dawn in the future, the merfolk will not completely decline and fall from the ranks of the major races.
But he will be a sinner of the merfolk.
And all of this is thanks to his good son…
Casting a glance at Ohm, who was lying on the ground, tortured beyond recognition, the merfolk chief's eyes were filled with raging anger, but in the end, it turned into deep sorrow.
Ohm is at fault, but as a father, as a chief who failed to notice the changes in Ohm's state of mind, how can he escape responsibility?
In the end, it is all self-inflicted…
If he had paid more attention to Ohm in the beginning, perhaps today's tragedy would not have occurred…
"Your Majesty Loki, I wonder about the pollution of the Crescent Moon Holy Ring…"
With complex emotions, the merfolk chief bypassed Ohm and looked at the Crescent Moon Holy Ring, which was still surrounded by some demonic energy, with a worried expression.
But as soon as he got close, the Crescent Moon Holy Ring angrily stirred up a whirlpool and slammed it into the merfolk chief, who withstood the blow without a word.
It seems that the Crescent Moon Holy Ring is angrier than he thought…
Loki used the authority of the sea to soothe the Crescent Moon Holy Ring, and then used the pure laws of the sea to wipe away the remaining demonic energy.
"It will recover soon."
Loki's voice spread throughout the battlefield through telepathy, allowing all the merfolk to breathe a sigh of relief.
"But…"
This abrupt turn made everyone feel uneasy again.
Loki glanced at the merfolk chief and said calmly:
"The Crescent Moon Holy Ring is very disappointed in your merfolk. The rebellion of the merfolk is ultimately due to the merfolk's own lack of supervision, which almost allowed the demons to completely corrupt it and start a war of invasion."
"The Crescent Moon Holy Ring is no longer willing to protect you."
As soon as the words fell, the faces of all the merfolk turned pale in an instant, and some were swaying.
The Crescent Moon Holy Ring's blue and clear light touched Loki's body, and Loki nodded slightly and turned to the merfolk chief to relay the message.
"The Crescent Moon Holy Ring's meaning is that from today onwards, it has nothing to do with the merfolk. After the Crescent Moon Holy Ring recovers, it will be transferred with me to the sea outside of Brunsnow Port, where the Dawn Church will be responsible for protection and supervision."
"I am very sorry to inform you that the Crescent Moon Holy Ring does not want to see your merfolk approaching it again, otherwise, it will actively attack you."
As she spoke, Loki couldn't help but feel that the Crescent Moon Holy Ring was still a bit childish, and seemed to have the mentality of a child.
But Loki more or less heard other meanings from the Crescent Moon Holy Ring's complaints.
After protecting the merfolk for so long, there is always some affection. After this incident, it is not so much that the Crescent Moon Holy Ring is angry, but rather that it is disappointed.
It had already told the merfolk to submit to the Dawn as soon as possible, but the merfolk dragged their feet.
As a result, this happened.
In the Crescent Moon Holy Ring's view, if the merfolk had listened to it earlier, things would not have turned out this way.
The Crescent Moon Holy Ring is not heartless to the merfolk, but it bears the laws of the sea and has the responsibility of anchoring the world's barriers, and must consider the Rodri continent.
Since the merfolk cannot understand, then it has done its utmost.
The Crescent Moon Holy Ring has never been the merfolk's Crescent Moon Holy Ring, but the Rodri continent's Crescent Moon Holy Ring.
The merfolk chief was silent for a long time, then forced a smile, his eyes full of bitterness and sadness.
"I understand, it is our merfolk who have failed the Crescent Moon Holy Ring, and almost harmed it and the Rodri continent."
After saying that, the merfolk chief bowed deeply to the Crescent Moon Holy Ring in despair.
"Congratulations to the Crescent Moon Holy Ring for obtaining the protection of the great Dawn, may you forever enjoy the honor of the sea. From now on, the merfolk will no longer disturb the Crescent Moon Holy Ring."
The Crescent Moon Holy Ring remained motionless, quietly purifying itself under Loki's laws of the sea.
The merfolk chief turned around and staggered towards his people.
The war is over, but next…
He needs to give his people an explanation, and give the Rodri continent an explanation.
Unknowingly, the merfolk chief bypassed the encirclement of his people and stood in front of Ohm, who was on his last breath.
After a long silence, the merfolk chief looked up to the sky and sighed sadly.
"You rebellious son! You have completely…"
Before he could finish speaking, Ohm, who was lying on the ground, suddenly trembled all over, like he was electrocuted, twisting uncontrollably.
The merfolk chief was stunned for a moment, but in that moment, a fierce and surging demonic energy erupted without warning from Ohm's right arm.
The dark bracelet controlled Ohm's right arm to quickly extend.
This scene happened too fast, and everyone could only watch as Ohm suddenly rose up, his right arm extending like a poisonous snake.
In the sound of bones and muscles tearing, in Ohm's wails, time seemed to freeze.
Until the aura of the demons reappeared.
Lily and the others' expressions changed drastically as they flashed to the scene, only to see…
Ohm's right arm pierced through the merfolk chief like a snake, and then twisted at a strange angle to continue piercing through the merfolk's grand elder.
Fresh blood trickled and dispersed in the sea.
Neptune was struck by lightning, his eyes bloodshot.
"Father!!!"
