Laing and the others were rushing to the Empire's palace. On the way, he heard the news that Regent Lauren had died in battle.
Seven of the ten marshals had died in battle, more than half of the Knights' Holy War Army had been lost, and he himself was seriously injured and dying. In the end, Laing still couldn't save Brunswick from the blood fire. More than half of the northern city district had fallen, and less than 20000 of the Empire's 100,000 local defenders were left. Even with the Nur's army, there were less than 60000 left.
They had lost so many soldiers, so many knights and generals.
In the end, they still let Chaos attack the Empire's palace.
Was it all worth it?
Laing's expression was dark and gloomy. The original body knew very well that it was because of his arrival. His arrival had attracted the attention of the Four Gods of Chaos. As a result, the Four Gods had bestowed an even greater blessing and sent a demon army formed by four ultimate demons.
If he hadn't come, perhaps Brunswick wouldn't have faced such a great pressure on the city's defense and wouldn't have been attacked by the four strongest demon armies of Chaos. He had brought reinforcements to the Empire, but he had also brought disaster.
The Knights' Holy War Army had also suffered huge losses as a result.
Now, the city shouldn't be far from being saved. Even if the Empire's palace was breached and everything inside was slaughtered, the three brothers wouldn't be able to conquer Brunswick. Because Laing was here, as long as the gray knight's original body was given enough time to recover, the three brothers would definitely retreat. Otherwise, they would be prepared to fall in front of Laing and Diego!
There was also the Green Knight. Brittany's native demigods couldn't leave Brittany's land for too long. In areas where Nurgle was heavily corrupted, the Brittany army couldn't summon the Green Knight. However, the situation was different now.
Laing suspected that if he hadn't come and relied on Nur's reinforcements, Vlad's reinforcements, and Galt's reinforcements, wouldn't the situation have been better? Would Lauren and so many Knights' Holy War Army be safe and sound?
Although the city hadn't died yet, was it all worth it?
Laing couldn't help but sneer.
It was worth it. It was f * cking worth it.
Lying flat, right? You'd rather do nothing and hope that things would get better, right?
Dark Forest, right? You'd rather hide behind the bushes and pray desperately that you can't see me. You can't see me. You can't see me. You can't see me. You can't see me. You can't see me. You can't see me.
This was not something that the original body should have done. Laing was the son of the emperor, so there was no reason for him to lie down. If he was ruined, what would humanity do?
"Daddy!" When Frey Derick was about to talk to Laing, he found that Laing's eyes were full of dark fantasies. His originally blue eyes had turned pure black, as if they were burning with dark flames that could devour light.
His son was frightened and quickly shut his mouth.
"… You must remember, Frey." Laing's eyes gradually turned back to normal. The original body of the gray knight reached out and pressed Frey's head, saying softly, "Every time you use the power of subspace, you will be one step closer to the creation and madness of the origin. I'm already very close. I can already hear the voice of the origin of Chaos. It's pushing me, 'Wake up, I have something to tell you.'"
Every time Laing opened his Spiritual World, he would be one step closer to the origin of Chaos. That was the power inside.
"Is this our destiny?" Frey Derick was silent.
"You must learn to fight against it and control it. Remember, we are our own masters."
"Then … what about grandpa?"
"Grandpa himself is one of those creations."
"Like them, but also an enemy of them?"
"Chaos is not everything." Laing reached out and touched the golden mane of the Griffin, Impris, and smiled. "Griffins are also mutated from subspace. What about Noelle?"
The avatar of the Goddess of War knew that Laing had seen through her at a glance. She quickly hid behind Frey, only daring to show half of her head.
The group killed their way to the vicinity of the palace. When they saw Laing there, the Nurgle army turned and fled in fear. The rookie of the Berchemund family, Lingard, could not help but excitedly rush in and kill. He accidentally rescued the Hunter Marshal Markus Wolfhart and his Hunter's Camp who were trapped in a corner of the palace. The legendary army of the Empire, which originally had more than 300 people, was now left with less than 80 people. The Hunter Marshal was good at sniping, but not good at close combat. He was already wounded. When he saw Laing and the others appear, he quickly shouted, "Quick! Save the Emperor! "
"The Emperor? Isn't the Emperor missing? "François asked.
"The Emperor has returned. Just now!" Wolfhart said anxiously. "Quick, they are all in the Hall of Holy Hammer. The Grote brothers and their minions have already rushed in! The Emperor is in danger! "
"The Emperor …" Laing had just quickly turned his attention to the interior of the palace when he found that the twin-tailed comet was crossing the top of the palace. A dazzling and sharp light burst out from the open dome and slanted to the ground, falling from the broken dome of the Hall of Holy Hammer.
"The twin-tailed comet!"
"Oh no, it's the twin-tailed comet!"
In the Hall of Holy Hammer, the Grote brothers, who had just killed Karl-franz, also saw the golden light that shone like golden silk. The golden lines spiraled and merged at the top of the altar, shining like starlight as they condensed into one. In the distance, the lone star in the sky burned, and the clouds finally fell apart. Above the dome, another world was revealed. It was a world as magnificent as heaven. The twin-tailed comet burning with golden flames came crashing down, burning the dome of the Hall of Holy Hammer to ashes.
"Brother! The twin-tailed comet is here! "Azrak screamed." It's so hot, my body is so hot, and it hurts! "
"Don't panic, don't panic, it's just a star, just a star!" Brother Otto was also shaken. "Father won't sit back and do nothing!"
Before he could finish, Otto's body began to melt in the golden light, scaring Brother Otto so much that he scrambled back. Azrak's cane exploded, and the bell at the tip of the cane rolled onto the marble floor.
The force of the collision threw the Grote brothers into the air. A dazzling trail of lightning curled up in the air, and a dazzling white spiral burned away every trace of pollution in the Garden of Nurgle, blowing away the white tornado in the center of the city.
A pillar of light descended from the sky, covering Karl-franz's body in the middle. The golden light turned from raindrops into a torrent, and the power of the comet shattered the altar, enveloping the emperor's armless body. Bathed in the golden light, Emperor Karl-franz's body underwent a drastic change. He first turned from a middle-aged emperor with gray hair to a calm and wise old man, and then into a young barbarian in his twenties, with hair parted in the middle and face painted. The wrinkles on his face that symbolized age and experience disappeared.
The Emperor opened his eyes, and the Rune Tooth spat out from his chest. Golden flames burned in the crack in his chest until a bright red and powerful heart was reborn. He straightened his broken back and glanced at the mutants who were trembling in fear. He seemed to have become stronger and taller, far more powerful than an ordinary person.
He noticed that he had lost both arms, and the golden light began to revolve around his body. The souls of the previous emperors of the Empire buried in Brunswick were all awakened, and they looked at the emperor standing there. In the dazzling light, each soul let out a heartfelt sigh. Rays of light were injected into the emperor's body, and along the wound, two arms of light extended from his shoulders, and then materialized.
The golden-robed, golden-bearded, golden-armored Emperor bathed his body in the light of the comet. Golden flames burned around him. A powerful voice reverberated in the shining space, reminiscent of an ancient Emperor. It was mixed with a chorus of other people's songs. Each voice had a different voice and tone.
"The world has changed!" The emperor's voice had completely changed. His voice was like a bell, solemn, but full of primitive wild passion. "The final battle is near! Now, I have returned! "
Pure divine light shrouded the Hall of the Sacred Hammer, and hung a golden curtain for the stage. The three brothers of Grote retreated in fear, their bodies constantly burning.
"The Empire shall not be destroyed!" The emperor looked around the palace. Wherever his gaze passed, all the Chosen Warriors of Nurgle, Warriors of Chaos, and Orcs and Horned Beasts retreated. No matter who his blazing eyes stopped on, they would be devoured by the comet's fire.
"The Empire shall live forever!" The Emperor extended his hand toward the empty golden chains. Lightning, fire, and light flowed at the same time, following the two golden chains and gathering together. A huge hammer of light appeared in the middle of the chains. The Emperor picked it up and raised it with both hands, holding it level in the air.
"Witness the power of the twin-tailed comet!" The emperor roared proudly. "Sacred Storm!"
The golden flames from the Highest Heaven instantly engulfed the entire Hall of the Sacred Hammer, and all the Chaos creations in the hall were reduced to ashes. The core of the golden object exploded, and bright white light filled the entire dome. A surge of purifying energy surged out from the emperor's body, and all the filth in front of him was cleansed away by the extraordinary power. The Grote brothers were blown apart by the emperor's hammer, and their burning bodies were devoured and turned into ashes, and melted away with the wind before the scorching storm.
The golden flames shattered the glass windows, and the waves of subspace power broke through the walls of the Hall of the Sacred Hammer. The spiraling translucent energy rapidly spread out, and instantly enveloped the entire city. A golden ring spread out from the center of the palace, and everything it touched was refreshed. The roaring flames of the comet destroyed every Chaos creation. The vines burned, poisonous moss peeled off, and mud and filth peeled off from the cracks of the rocks, and then turned into nothingness.
It was all over.
The emperor stood in front of the two trembling golden chains, and the sacred storm that surrounded him swept across the entire palace of the Empire until it covered the entire city. All the Chaos creations were purified, and the Northerners with physical bodies were running for their lives in fear.
The high clouds parted, revealing the setting sun. The turbid air became fresh, and the plants that spread throughout the city burned in a raging fire. The sticky and stinky well water regained its pure color.
Emperor Karl-franz's eyes flashed with golden lightning. His body grew a lot taller, and the color of his hair changed.
Everything in the palace was gone. Billowing smoke rose slowly from the charred remains of the once magnificent palace complex. The buildings that once represented the glorious history of the Empire, the miracles of war, and the symbols of culture had all collapsed and were destroyed.
The emperor looked at all of this, and his brows were tightly knitted. He first spoke in a very ancient dialect, and then in Gothic, and finally in High Gothic. He took some time to understand the situation, read the memories, and figured out the specific situation of the Empire. Then he slowly lowered his body and pressed his hand on Helberg's broken body. A trace of pain and determination flashed in the emperor's eyes. "I will fight until the end, until the end. I promise, Helberg, Ivan, rest in peace."
"Frey! And my dear friend Laing, don't just stand there, come in! "After that, the emperor roared outside," Didn't you all want to do something? Now your wish is fulfilled! "
"How should I address you?" Leon brought everyone in from the outside. The Divine Storm just now had almost blown them all away. If it wasn't for Leon's My Lord's strong protective power blocking the shockwave, they would have died.
"I am Karl-franz, the Upgraded. You can call me Karl, just like before." The emperor's voice was rough, completely different from the original Emperor Karl-franz. His appearance had also changed a lot, and one could only vaguely see the outline of the former emperor's face. The golden-haired, golden-bearded, golden-armored giant stared at Laing as if he wanted to see through everything about him.
"Laing, I think it's time to talk about the alliance between us."
