Chapter 124 Night of Chaos
"You————!!"
The eldest prince and the second prince were both shocked when they saw the third prince in front of them, who was emitting a foul smell and spraying poisonous insects and flies. The second prince's face was ashen and his expression was ferocious.
"Stupid idiot, don't think that just because you have taken refuge in the God of Disease, you can do whatever you want!"
As he spoke, the second prince raised the scepter in his hand. Soon, the wind roared, and the rotating tornado rose from the ground, sweeping everything around, trying to sweep it away——However, at this moment, Changes occur suddenly.
The war hammer on the eldest prince's waist suddenly burst into golden flames, splashing out like a stream of light, and instantly flew into the wildly rotating cyclone. The next moment, under the raging wind, the little sparks turned into raging flames almost instantly, engulfing the entire hall!
The entire palace instantly turned into a hot, huge furnace, and the ruthless flames burned the mosquitoes, flies, stinky poisonous gas, and ugly insects to ashes in the blink of an eye. Even the poor guests were no exception. They were either burned into charcoal while wailing in pain, or turned into ashes without saying a word.
When the flames dissipated, only three princes were left barely alive in the entire hall.
The eldest prince fell to the ground. The surface of his body had been scorched, and his skin was like wood that had been burnt to charcoal. The second prince was somewhat better. He held the staff tightly and looked around in panic, although he was at the end. He always used magical power to protect himself from being burnt to charcoal, but his ragged clothes showed that he was obviously not that skillful.
As for the last third prince, he was sitting on the ground at the moment, his eyes dull and giggling like an idiot. However, the fat on his body was being burned by golden flames at this moment. His whole body was like a big fat pig that had been put into the fire. The flames ruthlessly tore at his skin and muscles, scorching him. of internal organs. Broken pieces of flesh fell from the body, and pustules emerged from the skin, bursting open, and smelly yellow pus flowed out, trying to extinguish the flames, but this only made the flames burn hotter.
"How, how is it possible..."
Staring at the golden flames around him, the second prince turned pale. Of course he knew what the flames were, but...why? !
"Dong...dong...dong..."
The sound of footsteps sounded. The second prince raised his head and looked towards the place where the footsteps came from. He saw a group of golden-armored guards walking towards here holding long spears. Those were the imperial guards of the palace, but they had been missing for a while. Although the second prince also hoped to win the imperial guards to his side, he did not expect to meet them under such circumstances. .
However, soon, the second prince saw an unbelievable figure appearing among the Forbidden Army.
“You, 伱………………!!!”
"You really let me down."
Under the protection of the imperial army, Kevin walked slowly from the other side of the corridor. He stared at the messy banquet hall in front of him and his three sons, with a serious and indifferent expression. At this moment, Kevin had taken off his previous adventurer's attire and put on the emperor's clothes, looking quite majestic.
"You, how are you still alive?"
Looking at Kevin in front of him, the second prince's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly stepped back, and then seemed to think of something.
"Yes, yes, you are fake!!"
After saying this, the second prince raised his hand and pointed at Kevin.
"Bold! Who gave you the courage to dare to pretend to be the emperor! Someone! Arrest him! Quick!!"
"You're still just as stupid."
Seeing the second prince's reaction, Kevin shook his head, and then he stretched out his hand - the next moment, the "Vulcan Hammer" from the eldest prince's waist suddenly flew out and fell into Kevin's hand. At the same time, a golden radiance instantly erupted from the hammer, instantly covering Kevin's body. At this moment, behind Kevin, a majestic shadow appeared. It was the founder of the empire. Figure!
“How could it be…………!”
Seeing this scene, the second prince's face turned pale. Only those with royal blood can use the imperial sacred objects. Although they, as princes, can also use the sacred objects. But in fact, that was the reason why the emperor gave them the sacred objects and allowed them to use them.
In other words, as princes, they only have "rights to use" but not "ownership" before they officially ascend the throne and become emperors. As the emperor's father, if he wanted to transcend them and take back ownership, he only needed one thought.
So that’s it!
At this moment, the second prince finally understood.
Obviously, it was his father who took away the gift from the Water God and directed this drama. It was him who had been playing with himself and others!
"My child."
Staring at the second prince with a gloomy expression in front of his eyes, Kevin said calmly.
"Your betrayal did not surprise me, but I still want to know, why? What was it? Did it give you the courage to kill your father and seize the throne?"
"Hoo ho ho, ho ho ho ho..."
However, facing Kevin's inquiry, the second prince just chuckled in a low voice.
"Everything I do is for this empire, father."
"..." Hearing the second prince's words, Kevin just stood there, staring at him without saying a word. But the second prince seemed to let go at this moment, he raised his hands and stared at emperor.
"Father, you understand. How powerful the power of chaos is. It is impossible for us to defeat them. I have seen the future. In the future, this world will be destroyed, and our country and our people will also be completely destroyed." For nothingness!”
Speaking of this, the second prince suddenly raised his voice.
"Then, what's the point of our existence? No one will know the existence of the empire anymore. Our culture, our religion, and everything about us will be completely destroyed! Is this our final destiny? We can only Surrender to this fate? ”
The second prince gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
"I am not willing to end everything like this, so I made a choice."
"Your so-called choice is to become a lackey of the evil god?"
"Yes, so what?"
The second prince smiled sadly.
"Although the Lord of Thousand Changes is the Evil God of Chaos, he is not as murderous as the God of Tyranny, nor is he as dirty and ugly as the God of Disease, nor is he as turbid as the God of Desire. He only hopes for wisdom. and hope, so why not obey its will and surrender before it? ”
Having said this, the second prince pointed to the bodies of the nobles who had been scorched by the flames in the banquet hall.
"Father! Look, look at these people! They keep praising Sigma, but in the end? In the end, they are still well-dressed and well-fed, chatting and laughing at the wine table, with all kinds of conspiracies behind them. Has Sigma brought great benefits to this country? What if they believe in Sigma? They are all followers of Sigma, but they also live a depraved life comparable to the followers of the evil god! This country has already fallen into a hopeless state that even Sigma cannot correct, so why not simply take off this unclean skin, follow the guidance of the Lord of Changes, and become its loyal servant! At least this country and its people can continue to survive, and as long as the Lord of Changes exists, our empire will never be destroyed!”
Speaking of this, the second prince even clenched his fists like crazy.
"Don't you still understand, Father? Everything I do is for the continuation of the empire! Sigma cannot save the empire from the shadow of destruction, and we must eventually embark on our own path! ! ”
Listening to the second prince's words, Kevin was silent for a moment, and then sighed silently.
"Stupid boy."
Kevin shook his head and stared at his son.
"The moment you put your destiny in the hands of others, the choice is no longer yours."
"We are born with no choice, Father."
The second prince smiled helplessly.
"Whether it is the country or the people, the fate of everyone has been decided. We just think that we can control our destiny, but in fact, that is just our illusion. It is like a chess piece on a chessboard, no matter what it chooses How to act, in the final analysis, can only be based on the rules of the chessboard.”
Having said this, the second prince threw away the wind god's scepter in his hand, and then took out a gem from his arms.
"No matter what you plan to do, Father, I have made a decision to dedicate this city to the Lord of Changes and let the empire last forever!!"
Along with the roar of the second prince, the gem in his hand erupted with a dark blue light. Soon, a huge eye symbol appeared out of thin air. At the same time, the oppressive feeling of powerful magic instantly erupted, sweeping across the entire place. Even the most elite guards could not resist the coercion flashing from the eyes and couldn't help but retreat. Only Kevin was still standing there, holding the war hammer and looking at the second prince holding the gem high.
However, at this moment... suddenly, an accident happened.
I saw that the eye symbol that was originally suspended above the second prince's head and represented the Lord of Thousands of Changes suddenly began to flicker, like a neon light with poor contact. However, the next moment, it suddenly disappeared without a trace. At the same time, surging The magic disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.
"What, what's going on?"
Looking at the gem in his hand in surprise, the second prince looked confused. He had already made a plan to use the power of the dimension stone to open the passage and then sacrifice the entire royal city. But just now, the second prince suddenly felt that the magic power was gone!
It's like driving a car and finding that the originally full gas tank suddenly bottoms out!
Why does this happen?
"You see, I said it, my child."
Staring at the second prince, Kevin tightened his grip on the war hammer.
"When you put your destiny in the hands of others, you can't choose the ending."
