The next moment after he roared and vented his inner anger, Duran suddenly lost his feet and his whole body plummeted downwards.
With a panicked glance, he saw in the bottomless abyss, an evil snake with scales full of eyes staring at him, and slowly opened its bloody mouth, that strong The hunger nearly destroyed his sanity.
In the mouth of the giant snake, there are countless twisting bodies, of all races, all of which he has tortured and mutilated in the past.
They seemed to be screaming, mocking, eager, eager to drag him into the endless mouth of the giant snake.
“No no.”
Strong fear strangled his heart. Could this be his end, the worst ending for Ada?
咻——
With a sharp cry, white sky fire descended, burning the giant snake and causing it to roll, and then a big hand grabbed Duran's shoulder.
With a strong sense of dizziness, Duran staggered, and then sat down on the ground. When he raised his head, he saw Soshiyang in a gorgeous robe, looking at him with a smile.
"His Royal Highness the Phoenix King"
After Dulan was stunned for a moment, he quickly stood up.
“Have I arrived?”
Dulan looked around and found that this was not the Asuryan Temple. They were on the top of a mountain, surrounded by white clouds. Shrouded in the sky, there is a spherical fire as big as the sun not far away, burning red and peacefully, but looking inside, you can find that there is a drop of pure transparency in the center of the flame.
"This is the place where Asuryan and its people met for the first time."
Soshiyan turned around and walked to a stone tablet, touching the words carved on it.
"It was called the Mountain of Light on Ada's home planet. Later, Ada built the first Asuryan temple on the top of this mountain."
After speaking, he sighed softly and replied Overdone.
"Dulan, I originally thought you were just a Dracula who killed people with blood on his hands, but your heart really surprised me. Maybe this is fate in the words of the prophets. "
Dulan lowered his head. After a moment of silence, he clenched his fists and raised his head again, with only determination on his face.
“Comorragh is a cancer, not just for other races, it is a parasitic cancer on our race! As long as it exists, the shadow of the fall of Ada will always be there. The cancer lingers on our heads. I know you want to remove this cancer, and I am willing to serve you and assist you wholeheartedly! The carnival in Comoros only belongs to a few people, and the vast majority of slaves are waiting for rescue!"
"Dulan, as a human being, do you think I can do it?"
"Yes! Your Highness, you can certainly do it! It is precisely because of your race that you will not look forward and backward like those prophets. They can't do anything, only you!"
Soshiyang smiled slightly and sighed.
“I know that privately many people think that I don’t understand Ada and the prophets’ foresight. I don’t understand Ada and I don’t understand prophecies, so I don’t have to see my homeland destroyed with my own eyes. You don’t have to wait until everyone is dead to start feeling anxious and heartbroken. The prophets sometimes speak accurately, but when asked about the future, their answer is always to wait for the answer. Wait for the answer. Should we wait until the big day? The enemy came and gave them an answer to destroy the country and destroy the nation?" After saying that, he stretched out his hand to the other party.
"Dulan, what I am going to show you next is a very important secret about the Ada race. I believe in my choice, and you must be prepared to take on this responsibility."
Without any hesitation, Duran knelt down on one knee and raised his arms.
"Hu"
When he stepped onto the last step, Dulan's robes had been completely destroyed. He was now standing naked on the high platform, with some scars on his body from the past. He has disappeared without a trace, and his slender limbs and torso have bulged slightly, becoming as strong and perfect as finely carved marble, and his long hair has become as holy platinum as the burning Asuryan Holy Fire. Color spread on his shoulders and waist.
Dulan, who was decadent, cruel, depraved and indifferent in the past, has died and been recast in the fire. Now he is filled with a high-spirited, fierce and hateful temperament.
Directly in front of him was Soshyan, who was wearing armor and holding the Holy Grail of Asuryan, sitting on a masonry throne. Behind him stood the towering Phoenix Messenger Mardel, and there were hundreds of similarly naked Ada around the high platform.
At this moment, each of them had a serious and resolute expression, and looked at Dulan with respect. Like him, all Ada's eyes turned golden, like a burning flame, Dulan He also nodded slightly to them.
He was the first and the last.
Step by step, he walked up to Soshiyang, stretched out his fist, loosened it, and threw his soul stone into the Asuryan Holy Grail.
When the flames rose and melted the soul stone, he established a subtle spiritual connection with all those who passed the test. He felt that the surrounding air was trembling due to the blazing high temperature. Asuryan's holy fire ignited his soul at the spiritual level and ignited his anger. This is exactly why He chose him: his hatred of the fallen and the oppressor made him no longer cowardly in carrying out justice. Or hesitate.
His soul seemed to be placed on an anvil, being forged hard by the hammer wielded by the great god. Sparks and ashes fell down, as if the muscles and bones were quenched by calcining fire, hot and painful.
From then on, his soul no longer belonged to him, but belonged to the original fire left by God the Father.
Then he heard Madel’s deep voice.
".Give you the tempering of true fire, so that the fire of purgatory cannot burn your body, and the flames of demons cannot burn your soul. Following the name of the original phoenix, I will give you the star with the dazzling power of fire. With the power of lighting up, I can avoid the gaze of the Great Hunger and the darkness in the world.”
At this time, Soshiyang, who was holding the Holy Grail of Asuryan, had a different mood. He finally knew. Mardell was hesitant as to why there was such a big sacrifice in the "Promotion Ceremony" before. Those Aida who had been reduced to ashes had their soul energy directly absorbed by the Flame of Asuryan!
And a considerable part of it was converted into holy power and transferred to the survivors, which completely transformed them and possessed power far beyond that of ordinary Ada. It is equivalent to using more than a dozen lives to transform a Phoenix Warrior.
It’s no wonder that when Soshyan asked why he needed the soul stone, Mardell always talked about him.
Because Mardell never told him the truth at all!
The Phoenix Warrior's enhancement is not as successful as it once said. Although Mardell explained that the souls of these Comorian Eldar are too weak compared to the past Ada, but Sosh Yang felt that it should have known this a long time ago, but deliberately did not say it
Komadel also said that the current Asuryan Holy Fire is too weak and cannot be compared with the Pantheon era, so it needs to be transformed This is the only option for Phoenix Warriors. In the past, there was no need to make such sacrifices, but after the death of Asuryan, there was no other way.
After devouring the souls of thousands of Aida, Soshiyang did feel that the Holy Grail of Asuryan and the spiritual fire surrounding the shrine had become more powerful, but this still made him feel strange. Perhaps the only thing that could comfort him was , compared to having their souls devoured by Slaanesh, returning to the Fire of the Phoenix can be considered a good ending and redemption for the people of Commorragh who have been corrupted their entire lives.
