Perspective change:
Minano City, Italos border.
The preset duration of the Great Expedition was about five to ten years.
In fact, if it was just a simple journey.
From the Holy City to London, considering the series of Hybrid Demon attacks along the way, setting up camp to recuperate, and all kinds of mental healing … Due to the support of "Endless Energy," a year was more than enough.
The reason why it was set for such a long time was that the Great Expedition was divided into several stages.
Every time a stage was completed, the expeditionary army would have a long negotiation and rest.
At the same time, they would also send some knights or elite knights with potential to develop through the Gate of Destiny in the Hybrid Demon city to the Space of Destiny to undergo relevant trials.
Just as Han Dong had guessed, the Great Expedition was the greatest and most meaningful operation in human history. It was not as simple as broadening one's horizons or winning some battles.
The Great Expedition was an important step for humans. It was also a step for humans to use their own strength as a stepping stone to try to be on equal footing with the Hybrid Demons.
The first stage was the Battle of Minano.
Under the circumstances that conformed to the rules of the world, humans won.
Defeating the Mythical Entity and the large land deed that it controlled had extraordinary significance.
Because humans had been completely deprived of the right to hold the land deed in prehistoric times.
Therefore, the real reward brought about by the victory of the war was only the remaining Hybrid Demon resources in Minano and the hidden gold veins underground to compensate for the Endless Energy.
However, these real rewards were secondary.
Humans had won an opportunity through this battle, an opportunity to talk to the old king.
The realization of these processes was all thanks to the deciphering of the Hybrid Demon slate by the Secret Word Knights.
Humans could use the normal battle challenges as a "stepping stone" to increase their self-worth and obtain the opportunity to talk to the old king.
However, the process was slightly different from the deciphering process on the slate.
According to the information given by the Secret Word Knights, the one who should talk to the expeditionary army should be the old middle-level king who represented evil and filth behind Minano.
Who knew.
When the war was won, a Gate of Stars opened in the central open space.
From a human's perspective, a mysterious person served by a bartender and his head was covered by a nebula.
The appearance of this person directly replaced the old king behind Minano's land deed and took the initiative to have a conference-like conversation with the humans.
The meeting lasted for an entire week.
Although the final result wasn't as good as expected, it wasn't too bad either.
Moreover, the Old King he was talking to was a [Superior Being] who held absolute authority. His promise was enough to put the expeditionary army at ease.
In response to the human's request, this person also gave a precondition.
"I hope you can reach London within a year and a half, if you can perform well there.
I will personally consider restoring your qualifications … As for the specific situation in London, you will naturally know when you arrive. "
This request meant that the Great Expedition would need to be compressed from the original plan.
The expeditionary army was also temporarily stationed in Minano City.
Through the Eye of Expedition, he contacted the Holy City hundreds of kilometers away and revised the route plan of the Great Expedition, cutting out some unnecessary processes and compressing the overall plan.
However.
Malone had always been against the idea of reducing the expedition's progress.
He was not willing to accept the fact that the human race had spent so much resources, energy, and manpower on this great expedition, but they actually had to cooperate with the Hybrid Demons … This caused many battles to be unable to be carried out, and the related chaotic materials and secret treasures could not be obtained.
Due to the intensification of some of the details, Malone did not participate in the subsequent meetings.
He considered using Minano's Gate of Destiny to go to Hell to relax.
Just as Malone was heading to the Gate of Destiny alone.
A strong cold air of death accompanied by a skeleton horse blocked Malone's path.
The Grim Reaper on the horse advised.
"Malone … Now is not the time to go to Hell.
If something were to happen in the Infernal Realm, you would be delayed for months, or even years.
Moreover, the reduction of the expedition's progress has also been approved by the parliament.
You are right. To a certain extent, we are catering to the needs of the Hybrid Demons, but the essence of our purpose of leaving the city is to negotiate with the Hybrid Demons. "
"I'm out to kill the enemy. I can't kneel to negotiate."
At this moment.
The Ash Crown, which symbolized the identity of the King of Hell, suddenly appeared on Malone's head.
Normally, this kind of performance would only appear when one was in combat mode.
"Malone, do you want to fight?" Alex took out his silver scythe and the aura of death overflowed.
"Wait …"
Malone had no intention of fighting at all. He looked in a certain direction.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a pair of demon wings grew from his back and carried him up to a height of 100 meters.
The appearance of the Ash Crown was not a subjective idea of Malone. It was stimulated by some kind of homologous reaction.
Seeing this.
Alex also flew up and followed beside Malone.
"A Great Demon … A Great Demon of extremely high purity.
What's going on? Could it be that the Great Demon came to our world through the Gate of Destiny … Alex, where does this direction lead? Could it be? "
"London."
Malone immediately fell into deep thought. "Could it be that the Cataclysm foreseen by Mr. Black And White and the group of prophets and writers has already arrived in advance?
Is this the reason why the old king asked us to rush to London in advance during the previous meeting?
Seriously, why didn't he say so earlier?
Let the Great Demon quickly decide on the compression plan. We should prepare to leave in advance. "
"You bastard …"
Alex also felt helpless, but Malone's character was like this.
Speaking of which, the demonic reaction that Malone received was also an extremely important piece of information. The expeditionary army had to take it into consideration.
…
In fact.
This homologous reaction did not come from the Great Demon that crawled out of hell … It came from Han Dong.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, but such a coincidence pushed the Cogwheel of the world to 'fit' and 'rotate'.
Han Dong, who was participating in the London game, had reached an unprecedented special state.
Sally waved the Umichaltz.Whip of Curses in her hand and fiercely whipped Han Dong's body that was in the midst of simulation.
The main effect of the long whip was to transmit and amplify the effects of curses. It could 'whip' the curses into the target's body … But the current situation was very strange.
When most of the curses penetrated Han Dong's skin, they were actually offset by a kind of hell scripture that was stored in the soul.
"Hmm? The curses are offset … There are changes at the soul level? "
At this moment, Han Dong, whose body was enjoying the whipping, was undergoing the final 'consciousness simulation' with Togu.
Scenes of hell, monastery scenes, and terrifying suffering were all imprinted into Han Dong's soul through the simulation of consciousness.
-Synchronization Rate: 100%.
Instantly.
The [Gate of Truth] appeared in front of Han Dong once again. With Togu as the support, Han Dong obtained the opportunity to temporarily touch the body of the door.
This also meant that Han Dong would temporarily reach the level of 'atavism'.
Waves of rich demonic aura constantly overflowed from Han Dong's body … The Great Demon Mode had been activated.
