Chapter 565 Checkmate
As the sun sets outside the city, the ground shakes.
Scarlet blood rained down, corroding a large area. The main stone road, decorative stone pillars, and even the fields and hills on both sides were all turned into muddy pools of blood.
The dazzling light containing the terrifying high temperature dried the blood, leaving patches of scorched earth.
The pungent smell, along with the billowing smoke, rose on the outskirts of the city.
The Lantern Keeper Team and the Red Rose Team fought together. Every participant in the battle, at least a mid-level elite transcendent, caused indelible damage to the world with every move they made.
It is foreseeable that all life will be extinct in this area and even within tens of kilometers, and strong high-level pollution will remain for several years or even longer.
Sunset City will either be reduced to a dead city or reduced to ruins.
The ignorant and pitiful ordinary people in the city are still immersed in the joy of reproduction and are completely unaware of all this.
Their fate seemed to have been decided as early as Dolomy's arrival.
When——
When——
It was like the sound of a great bell, resounding throughout the world.
The flickering light is still dazzling even in daylight.
The two sides were already getting angry.
The five Archbishops of Lieyang revealed their mythical creature forms one after another, transforming into sheep-headed monsters of different shapes. Their entire bodies were covered with thick white hair and were always burning with flames.
The leader, Terrence, was eight meters tall, with a sheep's head and body, and the horns on his head resembled two giant scimitars. His face had two pairs of square horizontal pupils, and his eyes were fierce.
His muscular right arm held up the same huge hammer and kept hitting a "meat mountain" that was much larger than him. Every blow would splash out countless droplets of flesh and blood. The hammer The flames on it then burned it into fly ash.
When——
When——
The hammering white light enveloped an area several kilometers in radius, and even the temperature climbed to over fifty degrees. Heavy snow fell in the sky, melted into water, and then evaporated into fog.
From a bird's eye view, a white fog area appeared on the right side of Sunset City shrouded in red fog.
In the fog.
Terrence was covered in blood, and his pure white wool was stained and stained.
On the "meat mountain" in front of them, countless red pupils opened, and under the red pupils, there were countless mouths. They all screamed, cursed, and cursed in Louisa's voice:
< br>
"Terrence, you loser, do you think you can kill me with [Aries Hammer]? You are just a Sequence Four, but you want to suppress a demigod? How ridiculous!!"
The mountain of flesh suddenly swelled, and a pair of bright red butterfly wings bloomed from behind. Only by looking closely could one discover that these wings were actually bloody muscle tissue, with patterns composed of irregular skeletons underneath.
"Death!!"
The mountain of flesh suddenly burst out, taking advantage of the gap between the goat-headed monster and the monster to crack open the cavity, swallowing it with countless saw-toothed "big mouths"...

Snap!
The black queen's chess piece captured the white bishop in an unrivaled manner. The chess pieces rolled over and fell onto the black and white chessboard.
After a chuckle, Conrad's deep voice came:
"Chaos ferments, but it won't last."
The King of Slaughter crossed his fingers in white gloves, rested his elbows gracefully on the table, and looked towards the other side with a pair of smiling eyes through two strands of black hair.
"Even if the power of the Rose Royal Family is controlled by the Nature Sect, Terrence's influence on the situation is quite limited. Dolomy's ritual is still in progress. Tonight he will complete the restoration of authority..."
Chen Lun looked at the chessboard silently.
Immediately, under Conrad's puzzled gaze, he picked up his white queen, crossed the layers of black chess pieces and landed next to the black king, and immediately smiled:
"Checkmate."
The black hat gentleman raised his head and looked at the King of Slaughter.
"You lose, Your Majesty."
Conrad stared at him quietly, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said jokingly:
"Jack, although I am not proficient in playing chess, you can't bully me for not knowing the rules... There are four chess pieces in front of your white queen. This is a shame."
"The White Queen has always broken the rules. Since she wants to win, the rules don't matter."
Chen Lun also smiled.
Conrad looked at the white queen next to his black king with interest, then picked up the black king chess piece and played with it in the palm of his hand.
"But, Jack, your white queen may not be able to checkmate this game, because the black king will not just stay in place."
Chen Lun shrugged and said meaningfully:
"But you can choose to leave the Black King to die."
Conrad raised an eyebrow.
He smiled lightly and put the Black King back to his place again.
"Interesting."

In the sunset city, on an inconspicuous landscape tree.
The caterpillar nests among the tree branches are already covered with insect eggs. The dense white spots are actually crystals, and they have already eroded the inner core of the entire tree.
The caterpillars hanging upside down on the branches turned into cocoons one after another, like bright diamonds growing out of the tree.
The cocoons suddenly trembled, as if they were suffering from pain, and their bodies bulged and squirmed, as if something was about to burst out of their bodies.
Not long after.
A large number of pupa cocoons cracked open, and then brilliant red butterflies emerged from the cocoons, flapping their wings and flying excitedly.
Soon, the number of butterflies increased, and hundreds of them gathered together, and as if they had received some guidance, they headed towards the west of the city...
West side of Sunset City.
The red fog wall on the other side of the chaotic battle.
Dozens of members of the Wandering Knights were hiding in the darkness. The leader of the fifth sequence captain frowned and frequently looked at a short building not far away.
"Captain Mahat, is it really okay to let the Chrysalis of the End run wild at this time?"
one of the knights asked worriedly.
The other knight beside him was somewhat unhappy and complained softly:
"The senior royal family members would actually accept them. Those people don't believe in Mrs. Rose at all, they are just a group of false believers!"
"Shut up, everyone. This is His Majesty Mansfield's order. There is no need to question it. Just obey it."
Captain Mahat said solemnly.
He adjusted his armor and sighed secretly in his heart.
Elsie, the leader of the Chrysalis of the End, is a saint, and it is difficult for him to say anything. A war has begun on the east side of Sunset City. They want to help, but they dare not disobey orders and leave the defense without authorization.
It's just Elsie's group who have been holding secret prayer ceremonies in the low building all day long, seemingly praying for Lady Gloomy's favor.
But almost everyone knows that the god has never responded to the believers, and only the Chrysalis of the End still tirelessly tries again and again.
Mahat once heard Elsie angrily scolding his men, saying that their faith was not pious enough, so they could not listen to the gospel of Lady Gloom...
The level of fanaticism even far exceeds everyone's belief in Mrs. Rose. Regarding this, the Wandering Knights secretly only thought they were pitiful and funny.
But Mahat knew that it was precisely because Lady Gloom could not respond that the Chrysalis of the End was able to be absorbed by the Rose Royal Family.
After all, it was rumored that there was no harmony between the two gods.
Suddenly, Mahat heard his men exclaiming in his ears:
"Look, there are a lot of butterflies flying from Sunset City!"
The knight captain turned his head and looked, stunned.
I saw dense red butterflies gathering into clouds and flying in swarm... This divine sign, which was like flesh and blood, made everyone in the Wandering Knights solemn and did not dare to move rashly.
Watching the butterfly fly into the low building.
In the dark hall of the low building, members of the Chrysalis of the End in red robes formed a circle. The ritual circle was carved with blood on the ground. Their faces were also covered with mysterious and strange patterns painted with blood.
There are still words in his mouth:
"Blind Lady of Pain, the fairy of the stagnant cup, the manipulator under the apple tree... Sublime and spiritual Lady of Darkness, Judelia, our humble servant asks for your response."
Elsie, the short-haired woman in the lead, was suddenly shocked.
Because he saw countless red butterflies flying in from the gaps in the doors and windows and gathering in the sky above the ritual circle.
"The Lord we believe in has sent down an oracle! Salute quickly!"
Elsie was so excited that she knelt down on the ground and performed an extremely standard prayer ceremony.
The surrounding members of the Chrysalis of the End also showed fanatical expressions, kneeling down one after another and crawling around the magic circle.
Elsie's voice couldn't stop trembling:
"Great Lady of Eclipse! Your Majesty Judelia! Our humble servants finally heard your response! Elsie is extremely grateful. Please give us guidance and mercy to solve the mystery for us!!"
The red butterflies dance gracefully.
Immediately, under the shocked eyes of the believers and Elsie, these red butterflies formed pairs and started mating.
Elsie's eyes flashed with confusion at first, and then seemed to realize something, and her expression gradually turned into ecstasy.
He immediately tore off his clothes and shouted:
"My god has sent down an oracle to welcome the multiplication of joy!"
After that, he mentioned a female member kneeling beside the magic circle and rushed out of the low building. The remaining members of the Chrysalis of the End all around also followed the leader. In the process, they all understood. While imitating the leader and taking off their clothes, they shouted the name of the dim lady.
In the puzzled, confused and shocked eyes of the Wandering Knights, they gradually moved away until they disappeared into the high wall of red mist...
After a moment of silence, a knight finally came forward and asked:
"Captain, what is going on?"
Mahat opened his mouth, and after a long while, he answered in a deep voice:
"I don't know...but I guess it's probably Ms. Gloom who really responded to them, otherwise Her Majesty Elsie wouldn't be so excited."
"But, the Chrysalis of the End is leaving the house without permission, won't we stop it?"
Another knight said.
Mahat felt his head was heavy, and finally said angrily:
"Stop it, what can you do to stop it? Elsie is a high-ranking saint. Who can resist him when he is so angry... Quickly convey the situation to the royal family and see how to deal with it next!"
"Yes, Captain."
The surrounding knights looked at each other in confusion, and finally had no choice but to agree.
This plot was really thankless to write. It took a long time to design and write, but the beauties were not satisfied. They were somewhat frustrated. I hope there will be less of this in the future. I am tired.
Also, thank you for your monthly votes, I really appreciate it.
