Some people are arguing about the identity of the main character. Haha, I want to emphasize that the Black Star Troopers are not real humans. They are a mixture of the subspace and technology. The main character is a real human. He will not undergo genetic modification surgery, just like how the Emperor does not need genetic modification surgery. Similarly, the main character's growth is slow because he is not a 'tool'.
"This is a story from thousands of years ago. In order to protect this world, the first Phoenix King, Ainarion, created an opportunity for the Elven Grand Magus, Dragon Tamer Kaldor. He fought against four Chaos Great Demons alone." The Fairy in the Lake pointed at the picture and said, "I think you have heard of this story before."
"Yes." Laing was familiar with the story.
After the ancient sage's portal collapsed, countless Chaos Demons flooded into this world. The dwarves, lizardmen, and elves fought against the Chaos Demons together. Among them, the dwarves and lizardmen were still able to resist, but the elves were the first to collapse. This was because the elves originally lived in the blessed land of Ossouin, which was built by the ancient sage. They were not good at fighting and were also a race with low fertility.
Therefore, when the elves were on the verge of extinction, the adventurer Alarion begged for the help of the elven god, the Lord of the Phoenix, Asuyan. After his pleas failed, he decided to sacrifice himself and crawled into Asuyan's sacred fire …
Alarion succeeded. His body was reconstructed in the sacred fire, and he became the eternal Phoenix King.
At first, Alarion, who had extraordinary power, led the elves to victory and reclaimed their lost land. However, the Chaos Demons were endless, and they could never be killed. After his wife, the Eternal Queen, died in the war, Alarion pulled out the Cain's Magic Sword, which symbolized power and curse, and led his dragon knights to continue the bloody battle against the Chaos Demons.
The Cain's Magic Sword was indeed powerful. It allowed Alarion to win many victories, but there was one point to emphasize here. The Chaos Demons could not be destroyed. After they died, they would return to the subspace.
Even with the help of Cain's Magic Sword, the elves still couldn't avoid the misfortune of failure. At this time, the Dragon Tamer Kaldor proposed a plan. He wanted to create a magic whirlpool and suck in all the chaotic energy needed for the Chaos Demon to descend into the world. This way, the Chaos Demon that had lost its energy would not be able to continue to exist in the world.
At first, Alarion rejected this plan. However, as the elves continued to retreat, Kaldor decided to put all his eggs in one basket. Out of a sense of responsibility and mission, Alarion, who had been eroded by the magic sword, led his army of dragon knights to help Kaldor.
The intensity of the battle was beyond imagination. Almost all of the dragon knights were killed. In the end, Alarion faced off against the four Chaos Demons alone and killed them one by one. Alarion also died from his injuries. However, his efforts were not in vain. Kaldor completed his plan. The magic vortex sucked away the Chaos energy in the world. The demons lost the Chaos energy that supported their existence and disappeared. Then, the servants left behind by the ancient saint, Sram Demonic Toad, used the "Great Guardian" to close the portal.
This magic vortex was the Great Vortex of today.
This was the first true invasion of Chaos.
"The Chaos Demons come from the subspace. They are powerful and unstoppable. Wherever they go, they bring endless and ruthless destruction. Even if we can defeat them once or twice, they will always come back. Do you know why? Laing? "the Lake Fairy continued.
"Because … as long as the subspace exists, these creatures will exist." Laing looked at Alarion on the screen. He really couldn't imagine how the first Phoenix King, who had been eroded by the magic sword, fought against the four Chaos Demons alone.
The Chaos Demons were the ultimate creation of the Evil God of Chaos. In other words, they were a part of Chaos. Their strength was beyond human imagination. Some of the weaker gods were no match for them.
"Yes, as long as the subspace exists, the Chaos Demons will exist." The Lake Fairy looked at Laing with her bright eyes. Her thin lips parted slightly. "But the subspace is formed by energy. The source of this energy is the desires, emotions, beliefs, and thoughts of any creature in the physical universe. As long as there is even the slightest movement under one's scalp, it will cause the subspace to fluctuate. This fluctuation is energy."
"Therefore, the subspace is Chaos, and Chaos is the subspace."
"As long as there are creatures and emotions, they will disturb and provide energy to the subspace. We will never be able to escape the subspace, so we will never be able to escape Chaos."
"The four basic human emotions gave birth to the four Evil Gods of Chaos. They are hate, hope, joy, and despair. They are the Blood God Khorne, the Lord of Trickery Tzeentch, the Prince of Pleasure (Harmony), Lust, and the Father of Corruption, Nurgle."
"In addition, the remaining emotional energy in the subspace is the projection of the gods. For example, Charlemagne symbolizes the concept of the human race, I symbolize the eight virtues of the knight, and Yurick symbolizes courage and strength."
"The similarity between us and the Four Gods of Chaos is that we are also formed by the convergence of emotional projections in the subspace. The difference between us and the Four Gods of Chaos is that if Chaos symbolizes destruction and nothingness, we symbolize existence and substance."
After saying this, the Lake Fairy smiled slyly at Laing. "You must understand, right? My champion? "
"Yes, I understand, my lady. This has strengthened my determination to serve you," Laing replied respectfully.
"This makes me very happy. Let us continue, my champion." The Lake Fairy paused for a moment and continued, "Although we are fundamentally similar to the Gods of Chaos, I still have to say that the Gods of Chaos are more powerful than us. As long as creatures have emotions, they will provide energy for the Four Gods of Chaos. We need faith, prayer, and the guidance of temples and churches to obtain energy. But even so, the energy we can obtain is still far inferior to that of the Four Gods of Chaos."
Leon finally understood why Yurick, the White Wolf God of War, who was one of the best among the gods in terms of combat power, was at a disadvantage in the face of Moka, the first generation of the Eternal God of Chaos.
This situation was hopeless.
"The only good news is that the Four Gods of Chaos are not very interested in the material world. The chaotic realm in the subspace is their eternal battlefield and the place where they concentrate their attention. The existence of the Great Whirlpool prevents most demons of Chaos from entering the material world directly. This further reduces the Four Gods of Chaos' interest in the material world." The Lake Fairy held the Holy Grail in her hand and then raised it over her head. "But corruption and corruption spread in the material world. Mortals who want power and enjoyment will try to enter the embrace of Chaos and pray for the God of Darkness to bless them. Although we have pointed out a bright path for living beings, this path is relatively narrow. As you know, Laing, my champion, people's instinct is always to reap without sowing. They tend to prefer the easy path."
"Haha, it is like this, my lady." Laing smiled bitterly.
"Chaos is eternal, but the perseverance of mortals is short-lived. These victories are fleeting, but we still have to fight for our own survival. When another Eternal God of Chaos unifies all the northern barbarian tribes, demons of Chaos, and the fallen in the mortal world to the south, this world will once again usher in a terrible test. And I have a feeling that this test will be unprecedentedly difficult." The Lake Fairy's tone was very worried. "This Eternal God of Chaos is unprecedentedly powerful."
"He has already collected four of the five divine items of Chaos. Even I am no match for him." The Lake Fairy held the Holy Grail, her beautiful face somewhat hazy. "Facing this incarnation of evil, no spell can hurt him at all. Charlemagne may be able to resist him, but I am not good at close combat."
"Charlemagne? My lady, are you talking about Charlemagne? But isn't he … isn't he a human? "Laing was puzzled.
"He is a human, but he is also a god. When countless people of the Empire shouted his name and fought, when he became the symbol and faith of mankind, he also became a god. Do you understand what I mean?" The Lake Fairy smiled sweetly and looked at Laing.
"I understand." Laing understood. When the emotions of countless mortals gathered in the subspace, Charlemagne would gain energy and become a god.
After saying this, the human and the god fell into silence again. The Lake Fairy was not in a hurry. She gave Laing enough time to think. Her champion was far more powerful than mortals in both soul and body, so she did not have to worry about him not being able to bear the revelation of a god.
She suddenly felt that Ryan was the best gift the subspace had given her. She was satisfied with him in every sense of the word. His potential and potential gave the Lake Fairy more hope for the future.
"The Eternal Chosen of Chaos needs a lot of time to unify all the barbarian tribes and conquer the demons of Chaos. Laing, my champion, what we need to do is to accumulate strength and weaken the God of Darkness bit by bit, so as to shake his grasp of the future." The Lake Fairy continued, "Don't worry, my champion. What you need to do is to govern your territory. I will arrange some things."
"As you command, my lady. But I hope I can achieve my goal through my own efforts." Laing put forward his own opinion.
"I will give you this opportunity." The Lake Fairy stretched out her finger and poked Laing's face. Her smile bloomed in front of Laing's eyes. "I know what my champion wants to do. I will support you, but I will not interfere. The gods have been dissatisfied with my excessive involvement in mortal affairs for a long time, and I believe you can do it."
The Lake Fairy's smile seemed to be magical. Laing felt a little dizzy, but he immediately calmed down. "Thank you very much."
"Well, it's about time." The Lake Fairy nodded. "It's not a good thing for you to stay here for too long. We have plenty of time to talk. Remember to leave a room for me in your castle. I will come often."
"Yes, my lady." Laing stood up, knowing that the pleasant meeting was over.
"Do you need me to send the Lake Prophet to help you?" The Lake Fairy stood up and stretched out her gentle hand to Laing.
Ryan cupped her hand and kissed it gently. Then he smiled and said, "No need, my lady. Thank you for your generosity, but I have my ways."
With that, psionic energy gathered on Laing's body, and he disappeared in a dazzling white light, leaving the Lake Fairy's divine kingdom.
Looking at Ryan's disappearing figure, the fairy in the lake put away her smile and frowned slightly.
Her Chosen One champion — Laing was very outstanding in every sense of the word, and she deeply liked him. With him, she could visit the Prime Material Plane anytime, anywhere. He could purify corruption and fight against evil. She believed that Laing would become a core force under her command in the future.
However, the Lake Fairy could feel that Laing had his own thoughts and demands. She could not completely control Laing's thoughts. Her control over Laing was not strong. He did not need her help and guidance on many things, so her control over him was naturally weak.
This did not meet her needs, especially when Laing was so important to her. She needed to strengthen Laing's loyalty.
Now, many forces had appeared around him. The Paladins of the Church of Justice, those annoying witches, the Griffin Duke of the Empire, the Prince of the Marlin Castle, and that loathsome dark elf.
Although Laing was already twenty-five years old, he was still unmarried.
The Lake Fairy immediately set the bottom line. Her Chosen One champion, Laing Macado's wife, could not be someone other than her believer!
The long meeting came to an end. Laing came out of the Lake Fairy alone, then brought his followers and the Antrel siblings back to his territory.
The meeting between the Lake Fairy and Laing was unprecedentedly long. Many knights were curious about what they talked about, but Laing just smiled and did not answer, so no one dared to ask.
Following the road of the Carcassonne Duchy, the group finally arrived at Laing's territory — Baron Jean's territory.
The scenery gradually changed.
Warm sunlight shone on the road between the fields. In the lush fields, there were countless serfs happily praising the gods. Between the trees and the trees, there were rich fruits, and a clear river quietly flowed along the road.
Granaries and windmills stood in the field. The air was filled with the smell of wine and grass, as well as the fragrance of the earth. Along the way, there was only peace and harmony, richness and singing.
The mountain peak in the distance revealed its true appearance in the layers of white snow. The blue sky was clear and cloudless.
Looking at the scenery along the way, Laing felt the bright sunlight and said to Julius, "This is like heaven on earth."
"In front of you is your territory — Baron Jean's territory, and then the Winford Duchy is further ahead," Julius said.
Duke Winford's internal affairs were really strong. A rich and safe valley and plain could be so prosperous under his rule. There were no serfs suffering in pain, nor were there any hostile gazes towards outsiders. Seeing the appearance of the Knight of the Holy Grail, Laing received the cheers and praises of countless serfs, which made him feel elated for a moment.
He immediately warned himself not to be arrogant. There was still a lot of work waiting for him. Although the Winford Duchy was rich and peaceful, it did not mean that the whole country of Brittany was like this. Along the way, hunger, desolation, and war were still the mainstream.
"Rustle!" At this moment, the sound of a horse came from the front of the group. A ranger was riding on an armored horse, heading towards a … windmill? They charged forward.
"For the lady! For Brittany! "The ranger rode on the horse, raised his lance, and rushed towards the windmill.
Laing thought to himself, What's going on? A real-life version of Don Quixote?
“boom!” Under everyone's gaze, the windmill suddenly exploded into pieces, and a cyclops rushed out from it. The five-meter-tall figure roared, "Ahhhh!"
"Prepare for battle!!!"
