Chapter 702 The Finals of the God of War Festival!
The conditions that Night City proposed to Mordred did not take long to be answered.
He originally thought there was an obstacle, but he was shocked to find that the cult agreed very happily. Not only did they agree to Ye City's conditions, but they also told Ye City about the "Black Rose" and the original plan.
"There are a total of twelve "Knights of the Round Table". We were missing one before. When we were in the Holy Land, eleven of them died at the hands of people from the "Court of Shadows".
So now you are temporarily occupying the eleventh seat of the "Knights of the Round Table". During meetings and in the Order, you can call yourself "Galahad". "
As Mordred said this, he also took out a red pill from his arms and handed it to Ye Cheng.
“This is the core secret of our Order of Diablos and our ultimate purpose.
As long as you eat the essence of Diablos, you will gain greater power and immortality.
The low-level members of the Order and the Sons of Diablos, what they eat are just cracked products of this thing. "
Reaching out to take the red pill handed over by Mordred, Ye Cheng could also feel the power contained in the pill in his hand.
It is better to say that it is a pill than an aggregation of power, and Ye Cheng can clearly feel that this thing seems to be alive.
Geno Gulifi, who kidnapped Alexia before, seemed to have eaten something similar, but the quality was far different from the one he had in his hands now.
Ye Cheng reached out and took the pill, then after a moment of hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed it.
"boom------!"
And the moment he swallowed the essence of Diablos, the magic power in his body unexpectedly burst out uncontrollably. The powerful airflow storm even made Mordred in front of him take a few steps back.
"How? This is the power of our Diablos Order. This powerful power is very addictive, right?
I didn't expect that your strength is much stronger than I imagined. It seems that the eleventh seat is only temporary for you. "
When he saw Night City swallowing the essence of Diablos in front of him, Mordred no longer doubted Night City's loyalty.
No, it should be said that even if Night City had ulterior motives before, Mordred doesn't have to worry at all now.
The essence of Diablos can indeed give others powerful abilities and a certain degree of immortality.
However, because the research has not been completely perfected, this essence is not only a powerful force, but also a shackles.
As long as the essence of Diablos is used, it will be labeled as a cult, and it will never be able to do without this thing.
And how many people can resist the temptation of eternal life and power?
After experiencing such a powerful power, how many people are willing to change back to their original selves?
Human nature is greedy, Mordred knows this better than anyone, so the moment Night City used "Essence of Diablos", Mordred knew quite clearly that the other party had been completely fooled. .
"We can go back and deal with the matters in the Kingdom of Oriana later. Anyway, the throne and the ring have fallen into our hands now, and the 'Black Rose' is already in our possession.
The latest order in the religious sect requires us to win the "Martial God Festival".
The royal family of the Kingdom of Midgar are all incompetent, and the only one who can do anything is the first princess Alice Midgar. It can even be said that she represents the royal family now.
What we have to do is to completely defeat the opponent in the "Martial God Festival", break the people's belief and popularity in her, and indirectly control the Kingdom of Midgar. "
After leaving the so-called orders of the Order, Mordred left. Shortly after he left, Ye Cheng, whose spiritual pressure had exploded, began to gradually return to normal as his eyes turned scarlet.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a surge of magic power, a drop of blood blooming with a strange color slowly emerged from his palm.
The essence of Diabolus is, after all, something refined from the blood of the demon Diabolus.
If you eat this thing, you can indeed gain huge power and achieve a certain degree of immortality, but the price is also quite obvious.
That is, the body will be continuously eroded, so that it becomes a existence similar to a "half-demon".
The so-called "eternal life" is simply nonsense, because the life span will become longer entirely because their life phenomenon has obviously transformed from human beings into another species.
Ye Cheng just swallowed this thing directly because he felt that the so-called essence is also a collection of magic power.
As long as it is magic power, he is sure to use his own magic power to squeeze it out of his body through compression.
Night City did not throw away the "Diabolos Essence" that was squeezed out of the body. Instead, he found a container to put it in. Maybe it could be used in the future.
The "Martial God Festival" is still going on, but since the battle between Yecheng and the ever-victorious golden dragon Gold, the current direction has completely changed.
Many people had previously believed that the first princess, Alice, was the champion of this "Martial God Festival". After all, she had always been the "strongest magic swordsman" in Midgar.
But since that day, people in the capital now began to think that Night City was the favorite to win the championship!
After two days of fierce battle, the top four of the "Martial God Festival" were all competed.
Among the top four, except for Ye Cheng and Alice, who everyone expected, the other two can be regarded as the absolute dark horses of this "Martial God Festival".
As for these two dark horses, one is Jimina Seine, who clearly seems to be in a state of kidney deficiency and even staggers when walking.
The other one was previously unknown, but in the quarterfinals, he easily defeated the purple-haired knight Mordred, one of the Seven Swordsmen, Anelloje.
To be honest, except for Ye Cheng and Alice, no one else expected that the other two people who advanced to the semi-finals would be such a kidney-deficient man and an unknown knight.
Also on the same day of the finals, Claire and Night City's cheap father Gass also rushed to the royal capital from the Omega territory.
As soon as Gass arrived at the royal capital, he was taken to the palace by the guards as soon as he entered the city gate. He was told that His Majesty the King had invited him, which also made our Master Gass look confused.
To be honest, he is a border baron, and he has only eight hundred in the entire kingdom. He has been a baron for so long, and he has never even seen the King of Midgar in person, so he really did not expect that His Majesty the King would ask a little person like him to do this. What.
The confused Gass was first taken to the palace, and then inexplicably made a Marquis of the Kingdom and given a larger territory.
And just when he was still in a state of confusion about reaching the sky, His Majesty the King actually enthusiastically invited him to watch the "Martial God Festival" together.
During this period, a white-haired girl treated him very attentively. At first, he thought she was a maid.
But later he discovered that the other party was actually the second princess!
Gas: God, the capital here is too crazy!
