The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 666 The King of the Fallen

After hanging up the one-way video call, Annan frowned and huddled in his chair thinking.

No matter how you think about it, something feels wrong.

——If their goal is just to get a lot of golden-rank transcendents, then they don't need to be so troublesome at all.

There is a high probability that they have already started playing the curse cellar.

Then this also means that they have obtained the spell energy.

You only need to mass-produce them first, and then kill some Bronze-rank Transcendents to get the "foundation" for creating nightmares.

Directly use spells to multiply the customs clearance rewards by dozens or hundreds of times, once you pass the customs, you will be full of bronze, the second time you will be able to advance to silver, and once again you will be full of silver, and then you will be ready to advance to gold——

It just provides the power of curse.Mantra can definitely do this kind of thing with ease... This can at least send a large number of loyal subordinates to the silver peak.

Not even in any danger.

Doesn't it taste good?

However, the Brotherhood of the Extreme North seems to have the original purpose of obtaining something purified "beyond pure gold"...

Is this reasonable?

Their fundamental purpose should be "to prevent their good life from being destroyed by the shrinking Great Barrier".Assassinating Annan, contacting the Icebreaker Army, raising private soldiers, and even building curse cellars, extracting spell energy, and communicating with fallen people are just "means" rather than "purposes."

Those stupid nobles who are eager to keep and consolidate their power are indeed not smart people, and they are definitely willing to try any taboo-after all, they will burp as soon as they don't move.

It seems unreasonable to judge them by ordinary people's taboos and IQ.

But this circle is too big, and it's not quick at all.

It is neither safe and controllable, nor labor-saving and fast enough.

How could those cowardly, short-sighted, and dizzy idiots take such a path first?

"Eliminate all the impossible, then only the possibility remains..."

Annan murmured.

Then there is only one result left.

——At least one traitor has been mixed into the power layer of the Far North Brotherhood.At least he has the absolute right to speak that can overwhelm other aristocratic staff.

No, it doesn't seem accurate to say that he is a traitor... because he doesn't care what happens to the Duke of Winter at all.So he is not on Annan's side either.

You know, even if those nobles are idiots, the "domestic brains" who advise them must be smart people.

Longjing Tea can immediately realize that something is wrong just by relying on a few words from the saltpeter ranch... Those staff members must also be able to see that this plan is not right.

But it is still being implemented steadily.

That means that the identity of the person who proposed this plan may be more than one level higher than others.This will let other people know that something is wrong and cannot object clearly.

Even just the line of the saltpeter ranch that provides the blood of the devil can get the general idea of ​​this plan.This means that the completion of this plan has reached the point where "it doesn't matter if it is leaked to partners".

——This is even more wrong.

On Annan's side, it is even more impossible to be assassinated by only two or three degenerates.

If they had already obtained the "satiating gold", then it would not be as simple as sending a few silver-level degenerates to assassinate Annan - it must be a 25-member group composed of gold-level transcendents directly pushing Shuangyu to save...

The difference in strength between the golden-rank transcendent and the golden-rank degenerate is not at the same level at all.

Cafney once said to Annan that the essence of the power of the extraordinary is to use curses to transform the soul, while the essence of the power of the fallen is to use curses to transform the body.

Not to mention the damage caused by the unstable mind of the fallen.

The real shortcoming of the Way of the Fallen is that they are still the "gaseous souls" of Bronze-rank Transcendents.

One of the signs of the fallen is that their souls are "like black smoke", while the souls of golden-rank transcendents are "bright as diamonds and bright as rainbows".This means that the demonized fallen can't get much elemental power at all.

It is even more impossible for them to sublimate into gods - because in the sublimation ceremony, only the soul can take the sky car and enter the light realm.

——All this is because the quality of their souls is not enough.

And Annan knew more than Kafni.

For example... Annan learned that the "power of elements" is not the original essential ability of this world.It flooded this world after Father Sui burnt the Philosopher's Stone.

The Philosopher's Stone is the blood of the world in the "empty world", and its status is equivalent to solid spell energy.

——In other words, the real Philosopher's Stone was most likely stolen by Father Sui from the virtual world.

Before that, the souls who reached the position of [Dyeing] were only "noble".

If everyone can't use the power of elements, then the road to ascension should not be as good as the road to degeneration in the same period until the ascension ceremony is completed.

This reminded Annan of the battle between immortals and demons...

Because the path of degeneration is the "beast way" of transforming the body with curses—for a world full of curses, this may be the right path.

Only when the path of depravity is more effective and stronger than the path of transcendence, will the path of depravity have the value of being handed down.

Otherwise, in the thousands or even tens of thousands of years of civilization history, it would have been eliminated long ago.

"On Fate and Half the Mystery of Dice" mentioned, "Up is jumping, down is step by step".This is the cryptic mention of the difference between the "Road to Ascension" and the "Road to Fall".

——That's why the sublimation ceremony is called the "sublimation ceremony".

Because this was originally the "difference" that belonged exclusively to the path of ascension.

It is precisely because those who have learned about the Ascension Ceremony are too easy to associate it with the Path of Ascension.That's why the high-ranking transcendents changed the ancient name "Road to Ascension" to "Road to Transcendence" for the purpose of keeping this secret.

No matter how Father Sui obtained the Philosopher's Stone, the world is now full of elemental power.Only the Way of Ascension can make full use of this ability... This is an epic version enhancement of the "coloring" bit of the Way of Ascension.

Annan immediately realized at that time that the righteous gods hoped to increase the number of "gods" through this "version strengthening" method.

He is too familiar with this kind of operation... Changing the player's behavior tendency through "strengthening" and "weakening" is the basic skill of numerical planning.

Because gods can only be born through the "road of sublimation".And at the level of dyeing, you can only wait for the birth of the book of truth... Before reaching the level of truth, the ascendant must always be deflated.And the birth of the book of truth is irregular.

Is this reasonable?

Here's the peppermint.

And the addition of the concept of "power of elements" allows "powerful, pure soul" to truly become a power within reach.

Even if there are a dozen or so demons, only two or three gold-rank transcendents with sufficient soul reserves can easily kill them all.

Who made your blue bars short.jpg
If the two brothers from the Saltpeter Ranch hadn’t had the secret of creation, they might have been equalized by the saint when they met. Of course, the saint is actually at the level of truth.

However, it can also be seen that there are absolutely no plural gold-rank transcendents in the Extreme North Brotherhood.

Because in the entire Winter Duchy, there are no wild Gold-rank transcendents at all—the Hand of Winter is bound to the Silver rank, and any illegal Silver-rank transcendents who try to continue to advance in the Duchy of Winter will be captured, monitored, and killed by the Hand of Winter. Imprisonment, deportation.

The current Howling White Tower has not yet elected a new tower owner.

Then, apart from Maria, the daughter of the storm, and Vasika, the "unbalanced beauty" who can resist the golden rank under special circumstances, only the Pope of the old grandmother and the Melvin family are left in the golden rank of cold winter. "God on Earth".The latter two are not directly belonging to the power of the Lindong family.

This is the weakest period of the Duchy of Winter—if you don't count the unknown ancestor shaking ceremony.

The Brotherhood of the Extreme North has not killed them so far, it may only be because they are rookies.

Even if they have two golden ranks, they can come and fight a wave and re-demarcate their territory.If there are more than three, they can basically enter Shuangyu Province and put Annan and Ivan under house arrest, "holding the emperor to order the princes".

Therefore, they have definitely not completed the "satiating gold" experiment now.

Rather, it was the person who proposed this experiment that restricted them... Otherwise, they who have already built the curse cellar, I am afraid that they would have started to mass-produce the silver army long ago.

Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.

—He remembered another thing.

The Brotherhood of the Extreme North is the lord of the "northernmost point on the map", and they really don't have much money.

So how did they convince the fallen forces of Saltpeter Ranch and Natta County to be loyal to them?According to the character of these degenerates, they should turn around and sell this group of partners, and come to the Grand Duke to ask for a reward.

Unless they want something else from them.

From this point of view...

"...Could it be that in the world of the fallen, a shadow ruler has already appeared?"

Annan whispered worriedly.

Able to cross borders and control all the fallen.

The Brotherhood of the Extreme North is just a pawn at their disposal - a pawn used to produce "satiating gold".

And their ultimate goal of getting the [Satisfaction Gold]... is obviously to break free from the path of degeneration.

Someone who can cross the border and remotely control the fallen from Noah, the underground, and winter—who the hell would it be?
