In a small city on the border of the Crete Empire, Lu Zhiyu stood next to the mighty Nami River. This wide river, which ran through several countries, had nurtured countless people. As the river flowed through the city, many women were washing clothes by the riverbank, while children were playing in the water. No one knew that, on the other side of the river, a fierce massacre was taking place.
Countless people were fighting to defend the city, and a large number of people had died in the fighting. Flames burned the sky red, and Babus was gradually turning into a city of the dead. No one could save them, no matter how miserable or angry they were.
Lu Zhiyu sighed, his eyes full of disappointment. He looked at the sky above his head, at a weak star that was no more than a kilometer in length and width. It was one of the countless tiny stars in Maria's World.
At this moment, it was as if a powerful force had suddenly locked onto it and controlled it. It was immediately pulled away from its original trajectory, as if it had been pulled by the earth, and fell down.
As it passed through the folded space, its speed continued to accelerate, and it finally appeared inside Maria's World. It passed through the atmosphere, and the friction with the atmosphere produced a bright light. The trajectory of the falling star was beautiful and dazzling. Its target was the southwest of the Alen Continent.
In the Monar Palace of Babus, as Adonis turned and left, the remaining Death Knights surrounded the remaining people. The original 30 priests had been constantly cut down by the Death Legion led by the six extraordinary Death Knights. There were only less than ten priests left, and all of them had injuries that could not be easily healed.
"Please, please, don't kill me." A noblewoman dressed in luxurious clothing let out a shrill scream.
A bearded nobleman looked in the direction that Adonis had turned and left. "Adonis,, why are you doing this? Aren't you our king? Why are you treating your subjects like this! "
"I don't want to die!"
"I beg you, let me go, please let me go! I don't want anything, I'll do anything!"
No matter how they prayed, shouted, or cursed, Adonis, couldn't stop. A large number of Death Knights approached them, their long swords unsheathed, and pairs of scarlet eyes looked at them coldly. They were curled up in the center of this gorgeous royal garden, surrounded by layers of Death Knights in armor.
The remaining 100 people had all sunk into deep despair. Many of them sat paralyzed on the ground, not even having the courage to stand up and resist.
"Adonis,, let's stop here!"
At that moment, a familiar voice came from afar. Adonis, turned his head. Although he didn't see anyone, he felt a familiar wave of mind power.
Boom!
The walls of the garden collapsed in an instant, and the Death Knights outside were pierced by the stone spikes that emerged from the ground. In the corridor, the spikes crisscrossed, and the entire corridor was filled with the corpses of the Death Knights. Edward stepped on the corpses of the Death Knights and walked out of the collapsed entrance of the garden. The densely packed Death Knights made way for him as he appeared in front of Adonis,.
Edward hadn't changed his clothes, and the dark circles under his eyes were very heavy. It seemed like he hadn't rested for a long time, as if he had been preparing for something. However, he was in good spirits, and his eyes were full of determination.
Adonis,'s gorgeous royal robe had become tattered. He didn't know why, but he couldn't help but grin as he watched Edward walk towards him. It was like a reunion between an acquaintance and a friend.
Adonis, flipped over the ruins of the throne, which was still intact after such a fierce battle. He sat on it and looked at Edward, who was walking towards him. As if greeting him, he said, "Why aren't you leaving?"
Edward stood in front of him and looked at him. He looked at this familiar face that had changed drastically. His skin had become a monstrous greenish-white color, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Seeing that Edward didn't speak, Adonis, said to himself, "Haha, this throne is really hard and cold. It's really boring."
As if he had completely seen Adonis,'s current appearance, Edward finally said, "Is it worth it to become like this? To give up the sun, poetry, the earth, and all the desires that humans should have, only to live in a cold hell forever! "
Adonis, slumped on the throne and looked at Edward with his head tilted to one side. He seemed to like this tilted head posture. "If life is just a pile of rotten meat, then isn't it meaningless? The so-called life is to find the meaning of one's own existence, and I have found it.
"I want to become stronger. I want to control my own fate. I want all the things that make me fear, hate, and pain to disappear. All of this requires power. Only the strong can control themselves. Aren't wizards supposed to be able to jump out of the crowd and control the truth and fate?"
Edward lowered his head, and after a long time, he raised it again. His face had become a little ferocious, and his eyes were full of tears. As he spoke, he was so excited that his saliva sputtered out. "So you want to take the lives of others, kill thousands of people, and turn the world into purgatory?"
Adonis, stared at Edward's eyes seriously, as if he could see the anger, regret, and sadness in his eyes. He pursed his lips and his eyes became extremely serious. He stood up from the throne and replied word by word, "I don't care!"
Adonis, looked at all the people present, including the Death Knights. He even looked outside the palace and the entire city of Babus. At this time, all the Death Knights seemed to sense Adonis's gaze. They stopped killing one by one and knelt down in the direction of Adonis,.
The people in the city were also at a loss. One by one, they looked in the direction of the Death Knights and into the palace. These evil spirits that had crawled out of hell seemed to be welcoming their king. It was not a king that belonged to humans, but a king of the dead.
"Life is short and insignificant. Only death is eternal. I will let everyone enter this eternal kingdom together. I will let everyone become a member of this kingdom and become my power. I will be the master of death."
Edward pursed his lips and said with red eyes, "You are wrong. Your path is wrong."
Adonis, was noncommittal. "I am the right one. I have always been so sure!"
Edward pointed at Adonis,, and his voice was a little distorted from excitement. He roared in a hoarse voice, "I will not let you succeed. I will never allow such an ideal of yours to become a reality!"
Adonis, looked at Edward and finally shouted his name. "Edward!"
He spat out a few cold words through his white teeth. "You can't save anyone!"
