"Is it over..." The Faceless Man, the priest of Star Familiar, stood at the entrance of a very hidden cave and looked at the valleys in the distance that had returned to peace and sighed: "It's so merciless... It's like returning.

As it was a thousand years ago... Valada... No, I should call you Hex now."

In the east, the rising sun has illuminated the entire battlefield in the valley. Looking at the black flames that were burning in the valley, the faceless man shook his head helplessly and hurriedly returned to the cave behind him. Because he

Knowing what those black flames that can completely destroy matter represent, there is no point in staying here to observe.

No matter what kind of system the world is in, the supreme gods who created the world will always have some means to completely and quickly erase their works. Usually, for intelligent creatures living in the world, this power will usually

It is called "divine punishment", and the black flames released by Hex now belong to a method of divine punishment in this world system.

In the eyes of the faceless men, this supreme wrath of divine punishment will purify any substance in the entire valley, whether it is biomass or minerals, and even the ashes after burning will not exist. These "fires of divine punishment"

"It can completely erase everything from matter and consciousness to even higher levels, so this special method can definitely be called the final kill. Of course, these flames will not ignite other non-target substances at will. If

If Hex marks the target, then the non-target will not be hurt no matter how long it takes to be wrapped in flames. However, the Faceless Man does not think that he will be lucky enough to escape the punishment of God's Punishment.

At the moment of arrival, I was standing in a secret location far away from the valley, so I was not affected on the spot.

Moreover, the Faceless Man doesn't feel that he has any resistance when facing this level of power, because in his eyes, the only ones who can compete with him are gods of the same level or higher than Hex. For this reason

When the faceless men saw these flames igniting, no matter how sorry they were, they could only leave quickly to avoid being burned.

The Faceless Man has a natural fear when facing those black fires of divine punishment, because he had witnessed the sight of these black flames thousands of years ago, and that fear has long been deeply imprinted on his soul.

Among them, and no matter how his appearance and type change later, this deep feeling of fear in the soul will not be shaken.

But despite this, the Faceless Man still showed some calmness when facing these flames, because although they were the same flames as the ones in his memory, they were far different in scale. What the Faceless Man saw back then

The scale and intensity of the Divine Punishment Fire are definitely truly devastating. Of course, it may be that Hex did not intend to go too far, so he controlled the intensity of Divine Punishment. After all,

This mountain range and valley are not only filled with unclean things, because this valley was originally a facility related to a certain god. Perhaps because of these inconspicuous relationships, Hex tried his best to control it.

The scale of divine punishment. However, the Hertogos who was forcibly resurrected by the acolyte of Haikan was completely finished. Not even a bit of dregs was left behind. It was completely wiped out by the fire of divine punishment. Nothing.

The original purpose of coming here was to obtain some fresh Hertogoth flesh and blood through past relationships.

The Faceless Man hurriedly walked into the end of the cave and activated a stone portal base. Then he released some kind of magic to cause the entire cave to collapse and teleported to a secret place before the cave collapsed. He stayed in place.

The portal base was also shattered by the falling rocks after he teleported away, which prevented others, especially the lackeys of the gods, from discovering and tracking his clues.

When the Faceless Man walked out of the portal on the other side, he suddenly saw Warum, who had barely returned to his human form, waiting for him. However, at this time, Warum could barely look like a human from a distance.

It just has a humanoid appearance. In fact, from a close distance, her body looks like a piece of unrelated meat. When the Faceless Man saw this, he obviously understood that this was not the case.

It's Wallum's true identity, probably just the meat puppet she made to send messages.

"Empty-handed... the deal failed?" Wallem's puppet joked in a muddy voice with a big mouth that looked like it could break at any time: "It seems that our new allies are not as good at cooperating as we thought.

Or... your offer is too low, so they are unwilling to sell you?"

"No, I was lucky enough to go there late so I escaped..." The Faceless Man stretched out his fingers and scratched the hood that was bleeding heavily for some reason and said: "The group of Haikan acolytes were killed by the goddess Hai

Kos...that is, Varada, who we once called the goddess of the night, was eliminated."

"What's going on?!" Wallem's puppet took two steps forward excitedly and asked.

"I don't know. In short, I saw the fire of divine punishment falling from the sky just after I arrived there..." The faceless man looked back at the portal with some fear and said: "I don't know how they were discovered, but since those idiots

Taking risks and occupying the God of Life's testing ground is inherently risky. And I also discovered that they seemed to have rashly awakened the pieced-together Hertogos corpse with void energy... but the ending was still the same.

As I said just now, the entire stronghold and the corpses were wiped out by divine punishment."

Warham's meat puppet did not continue to answer, but after a strange twitch, it scattered into a large number of pieces and fell to the ground. Just when the faceless man wanted to go over to check in confusion, suddenly this space

The darkness stretched out and slowly stretched out a human head that looked like it was growing on a snake. This head was naturally the head of the Baroness on Warham's body, but the various scars on the face still looked the same.

It's horrifying, as if her injuries haven't fully recovered yet.

"God's punishment? You actually escaped God's punishment?" Warham stretched his head in front of the faceless man and asked: "How did you do it?"

"I'm lucky, or maybe I appeared far away and hidden enough so I wasn't discovered by the goddess Hex..." The faceless man seemed to be getting more and more uncomfortable. At this moment, his whole body was feeling strange.

It was oozing with red-orange liquid, and his legs seemed to be barely able to stand. However, he still managed to support his body and said to Warham: "But don't worry, the group of Haikan's acolytes is very large.

, what we lost is just their recently developed stronghold...I...if we want to continue...to trade with them...we can...contact...contact other places..."

"Are you okay?" Wallum asked quickly.

"It's okay...it's just...this body is about to reach its limit..." the faceless man replied feebly, and then he propped himself up and made a dull sound elsewhere before continuing: "I...need it in the near future.

Replace with a new... body, so... during this period of time... it will be up to you to take care of this stronghold... and if you... want to go out for a walk, try not to be around here as much as possible...

What kind of trouble has it caused...The gods in this world have been very active recently, and...this place...is also our last safe haven..."

After seeing this, Warham didn't say anything more. He just nodded to the faceless man who was too weak to move his body to show his understanding. But when the faceless man's body was completely out of balance, Warham still subconsciously wanted to

When he stretched out the tentacles hidden in the dark to help the opponent, a large group of human-sized fusion monsters quickly came out from the nearby entrance, then used their tentacles to support the faceless man and carried him away elsewhere.

went and slowly disappeared into the darkness.

"The mortal body... is very fragile. I wonder what kind of body you plan to change into this time?" Warham looked at the direction where the faceless man was taken away and smiled meaningfully, and then she also

His head retreated into the darkness.

At the same time, in the mountains and valleys of the northern mountainous area, the last blazing black flame was completely extinguished under Hex's gaze.

When the flames dissipated in the air, a piece of char-like object remained that had not been completely eliminated. This was the result of Hex's deliberate actions, because after last night's battle, she realized that all the monsters she encountered were related to each other.

The same kind in the past showed different states. Even the body of Hertogos that was forcibly activated by the void energy poured into the portal showed biological characteristics that the real Hetogos should not have existed.

Of course, strictly speaking, this so-called Hertogos is not a "pure bloodline", but a product pieced together from the corpses of many other Hertogos and some unknown corpse remains. In terms of ability, this

Calling things Hertogos is almost an insult to them, but the problem is that somehow this pieced-together suture monster has unimaginable toughness and activity.

Hex looked down at the pitch-black sword in her hand that had shrunk back to its normal size. This was a sharp blade she forged using her past power seat. It could easily cut through a star without using any force.

But last night, Hex encountered considerable resistance when he used it to slash the body of the Hertogos suture monster. Of course, this does not mean that the suture monster's body has transcended the limits of biomass. It is just that in the sea

The moment when Kes's sharp blade was about to hit it, a slight spatial distortion appeared at the extreme distance on the surface of the Suture Monster's body. This was not the interference of external forces, but an active force formed within the Suture Monster's body.

It is an act of resistance in nature. But from this point of view, the remains of the Stitch Monster are worth taking back for Hex to study. Therefore, Hex will intentionally let the remains of the Stitch Monster get a certain degree of protection when carrying out divine punishment.

reserve.

But then again, fortunately, this suture monster's body can still be controlled by the world's authority, but Hex feels that this should be attributed to the world barrier. Under the constraints of the world's laws, even this person who once transcended Hilti

Everything outside Asia can be summarized in the system of this world, so that the power of annihilation as divine punishment can successfully destroy it to the highest degree, which can be regarded as a blessing among misfortunes.

Hex walked up to the piece of charcoal and used a special spell to store it into a void space to isolate it from the outside world, because she noticed that when the power of annihilation disappeared, the piece of charcoal should have been completely reduced to a piece of charcoal.

The substance actually began to regain its vitality, and it also started to proliferate at a speed visible to the naked eye. This is the racial essence of monsters like Hertogos, but although it looks scary, Hex doesn't take it seriously. It's better to say

This phenomenon is also a good thing, because a living specimen is always better than a piece of coke, and since this thing is alive, you can use the power of the Temple of Life to trace its origin, and maybe you can peep into this weird thing more directly

The specific origin of the Stitch Monster.

But then again, although Hex used the power of annihilation, she did not intend to kill all the monsters in one go, because at the very least she still wanted to capture a few Haikan acolytes alive and bring them back for torture and interrogation, even if it was to imprison a soul

That's okay. But it seems that the other party is well aware of the gods' interrogation methods. For this reason, after finding that there was no way to escape, all the Haikan acolytes present chose to commit suicide or simply jumped directly into the fire of annihilation for complete destruction, so in these

After all the highly intelligent commanders disappeared, the remaining monsters were completely in chaos, which is why the battle ended so quickly.

However, the remaining monsters are basically low-level intelligent species, so there is not much normal information in their brains or souls to use. For this reason, Hex can only destroy them quickly and interrupt the annihilation process.

We must do our best to prevent its excessive impact on this land. Because after all, this somewhat chaotic mountain valley is mixed with some shadows of Desmo. It can also be said that this is probably some facility under the jurisdiction of the Temple of Life in the past, so it is everywhere.

They all reveal a familiar flavor.

"The original water of life..." Hex muttered, looking at the dense forest at the other end of the valley.

Hex now almost understands the reason why Thelsander was a little crazy and left these words in the Dragon Tomb. And she also feels that Thelsander is not crazy, because Heike

Now I really feel that this valley is filled with a somewhat excessive breath of life, so it is not an exaggeration to say that this is land irrigated with water of life, but if it is said that this is the influence of the so-called "original water of life"

That's because those giant dragons really underestimated the power contained in life.

Thinking of this, Hex changed the drill bit and looked at the ghost dragon Selsande who was protected and imprisoned by the holy guards. Fortunately, it was the blood of the Golden Dragon King, so it could get a certain amount of life in this land full of life.

Continuation. But unfortunately, the convenience brought by abilities cannot completely allow it to continue to live, because it has now become a ghost dragon, an existence that is completely opposite to the nature of living things. As a necrotic species, there are too many lives.

On the contrary, the breath will make it wither faster. For this reason, the holy guards headed by Ye'er will use this method to isolate it from the outside world to delay its death, because Ye'er knows that Hex will later

I'll want to question this ghost dragon.

Hex does want to ask about this ghost dragon's intention, but not now, because she still needs to be on high alert to observe the land purified by the Annihilation Fire. After all, this place seems to be occupied by these monsters.

They have been occupying it for a long time, so Hex is not sure whether there will be any more unexpected surprises waiting for him here. And from another perspective, this matter is somewhat beyond his management scope.

Especially when it came to the Temple of Life, Hex could only directly contact the Supreme God Severna who was still on vacation in the lakeside villa.

When receiving the notice from Hex, Severna had just opened her eyes from the soft bed. And she seemed a little confused about the portal in that place. After all, those portals were a thousand years ago, and

Severna himself will not care about these "trivial" things.

"Okay, I'll go over and take a look later." After Saivina finished speaking, he waved his hand to disperse the shadow floating in front of him, then lazily climbed up from the big bed and went to the balcony to take a look at the sky.

of starry sky.

At this time, several servants of God appeared respectfully beside Severna, quickly put on a loose robe and brought him a cup of black tea with a rich aroma. However, Severna looked at it.

After finishing the cup of tea, she pouted and let the servant of the god take it down. This didn't mean that she didn't like drinking tea, but she had never drank tea endlessly with her good friend the Goddess of Misfortune like she did now. For this reason, she

I felt really tired today, so I asked the servants to take it away and replaced it with a cup of juice squeezed from an unknown fruit. When the servants all left, Severna took another look at the ones that had been transformed during this period.
