Chapter 680 Human Agents and World Agents (asking for monthly tickets)
When Byron heard the cry, he raised the Sword in the Stone without any hesitation and swung it fiercely in the direction of the sound.

When he obtained the Overlord Certificate and became the new generation of maritime overlord, his realm of "all things become one" increased by 15%.

After he replaced the Pope as the [Emperor of Mankind], it took another big leap to 20%.

The power that can be drawn from the outside world through world resonance increases several times.

His swordsmanship level naturally improved from the initial cutting of iron and interrupting of currents to the "cutting of space" which could directly cut through the barriers of space.

Stab it--!
The blazing sword light condensed into a huge blade that stung the eyes. It flashed across the auditorium and instantly cut off everything that stood in Byron's way.

For the demon clans, the corridors and buildings that had gradually twisted into abstract art with the birth of the Kingdom of God were like butter meeting a hot knife under this sword, without causing any hindrance at all.

In a flash, the ice and snow melted, revealing a long passage leading from Byron's feet to the delivery room.

Until it collided with a dark golden wing, making a huge sound of metal clashing.

The shattered sword light and a dozen broken feathers from the wings flew out, easily razing the corner of the Pope's Palace near the delivery room to the ground.

It also allowed Byron to see clearly the appearance of the newborn baby.

He grew countless times faster than Byron's own divine son Amon and daughter Nut.

Just a few breaths after he was born, he grew into a handsome boy about thirteen or fourteen years old.

She inherited Saint Isabella's fair skin, pink lips, and a pair of deep light golden eyes. Her hair was flowing silver and her beauty transcended gender, making it difficult to tell whether she was male or female.

If He changed into women's clothes, I wonder how many men would be fascinated by Him and fall at His feet.

Six pairs of twelve gorgeous dark golden wings spread out behind him, and it was one of them that blocked the sword that Byron had just swung out.

Compared to the five grotesque fallen saints and twisted monsters like the Pope, He looks more like a human, and even when facing each other, one can hardly feel the inherent madness of the old gods.

If no one says it, others would think he is an elegant gentleman.

Of course, as the son of Isabella, Queen of the Pyrenean Empire, he was one of the top nobles in the material world.

Although Byron had already guessed something when he saw the Pope and his men doing what they did, he still couldn't help but look solemn when he saw the worst scene happen with his own eyes.

He called out the other person's name word by word:
“It’s really you, Arrogant Morning Star, Lucifer!
So many old gods are plotting to return, but I never thought that the first old god to successfully regain his immortality and descend into the material world would be you."

There was only an ugly devil's head left on the ground. Francis IV, who had not yet died completely, acted as if he had seen a ghost when he saw the nobleman.

"Ho ho."

His face was distorted as he tried to say something, but because of the air leakage in his throat he could only utter a few meaningless bytes.

At this moment, the umbilical cord growing on the back of his head was still "slurping" to absorb the last bit of his spirituality. Even the high-sequence demons' inherent ability to regenerate severed limbs was lost.

The revolving lantern of death had begun to spin rapidly before Francis' eyes.

Suddenly, the former Pope returned to the afternoon when he had just become the administrator of the Apostolic Temple Library as a low-sequence [Corona Priest].

On his first day at work, he "accidentally" discovered the book "Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven" which was filled with the Creator's mumblings in the depths of the library.
Before his death, he finally figured everything out:
“I was still a devout believer at that time.

When he saw the new scripture, he couldn't wait to flip through it and read it. After reading it, he found out that it was a forbidden book copied by priests of past generations.

I was worried for a long time, until nothing unusual happened in the next few months, and then I became braver and braver.

I believed that this was a blessing from the Creator and was determined to become the Pope and achieve eternal life with the help of the triple crown!
In fact, I was already contaminated at that time.

My 'animal side' was replaced by Lucifer without my noticing, and He has always been in my body."

The gears of fate began to turn from that moment on.

No matter how Francis IV struggled, it was useless because he was a true believer of [Arrogant Morning Star Lucifer]!

There is no need for verbal belief, as the perfect compatibility makes his every word and action conform to the Sunnah.

From then on, every decision and every action in his life, although it was from his heart, was also in line with Lucifer's path.

From allowing the Renaissance to undermine itself, to spreading the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven, to actively destroying the City of Seven Hills and the Silver Law.
All the efforts that the Pope had made for decades since his youth had all been in vain for the benefit of this old god.

It also made [Arrogant Morning Star Lucifer] the first Old God to successfully descend into the material world as a demigod.

Unless Francis IV committed suicide decisively after reading "The Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven", the ending was already doomed from the beginning.

The Pope is indeed not the physical father of Isabella's son, but he is the mystical mother!

No wonder he instinctively cared deeply about Isabella's children.

Francis finally showed a sad smile:
"It's fake, it's all fake. My life is a joke designed by someone!"

Byron ignored the former Pope whose head had been sucked dry and turned into stone shattered on the ground, and instead looked directly at the old god who had just descended.

If it was before he was crowned the true [Emperor of Humanity], he would have turned around and ran away without saying a word if he saw an old god.

Now that he has gained the bonus of humanity's collective subconscious status, he is confident that he is no less capable than any of the old gods who were half-eaten by the Creator.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, striding forward with the tip of his sword pointing diagonally.

He even had the guts to use his "sword of tongue" to tease Him:

“It’s only been a few years since the material world entered the intertidal zone, and those idiots in the Orthodox Church let you out so quickly. Francis is such a loser.

Lord Lucifer, you are now much more impressive than the incarnation of betrayal that was eaten by Lilith when everyone was fighting for the Pillar of Searocks.

I hope you won’t be as embarrassed this time as last time.”

[Solar Storm] burst out from Byron's body with a majestic and domineering aura. His figure did not change at all, but with every step he took, he became taller in the eyes of others.

The high-energy particle flow drew brilliant lines in the air, as if he was wearing a gorgeous cloak.

Domineering, tough, reliable, decisive, and unyielding
A series of tough guy qualities seemed to be embodied at this moment.

No one doubts that even if the sky falls at this moment, Byron can hold it up with one hand!
It is completely different from the escapist sect of Orthodoxy.

On the opposite side, the female demon clansmen created by the [Code of Solomon] were trembling all over, with their mouths wide open, but they were unable to breathe like fish on land.

They wanted to escape, but the powerful sound of "Tram! Tram! Tram!" was heard one after another. The heavy pressure condensed into substance and turned into a red-hot hammer. Not only their bodies and the Pope's Palace, but even the hill on which the building was located was collapsing bit by bit.

It was not until the divine light from Lucifer's body bloomed and enveloped them that these teams that had been trained with great difficulty were prevented from being destroyed on the spot.

The old god, who looked like a young nobleman, landed lightly on the ground.

On the contrary, he took the "mother" Saint Isabella, whose eyes were somewhat empty and who had temporarily lost her self-consciousness, into his arms, and casually pulled a white gauze out of the air and draped it over her body.

He raised his hand again, and an extremely real, gorgeous red rose appeared between his fingers, which he inserted into her temples.

Legend has it that Lucifer's status was second only to the Creator. He was the vice-lord of heaven and possessed one third of the Creator's power.

Even though this little trick is not a creation of the void, it is not much different.

He lowered his head and gently kissed his "mother" on the forehead, and then the [Double Crown] of the Pyrenean Empire was placed on His head.

It is not difficult for a demigod to inherit a great empire by relying on direct blood relationship.

Only then did He turn around and face Byron, with a smile on His face, as if He was greeting an old friend, His tone was gentle and graceful:

“Your Majesty Saint Byron, I couldn’t agree more with your comments.

Compared to you, who was able to pull the strings in the melee among the seven old gods and then decisively backstabbed them to become the final winner, Francis IV is indeed a waste.

It is said that Sananos, the god of abundance who is equivalent to the incarnation of nature, is the first of the old gods to fall.

In fact, one of my core duties is [Fallen]. I took the initiative to turn to the "beast side" hundreds of years before the great flood. I was also the first to regain my sanity, faster than those gods of death.

If Francis IV had not been so incompetent and had not reached this point at the age of 70, when he was about to die, perhaps the entire material world would have been kneeling before me before you were born.”

"The only thing he did that gave me satisfaction was accidentally creating a precious Unsullied.

Although it couldn't free my Rudder from the Sea of ​​Element, it helped me remove a considerable amount of pollution.

Apart from the general direction of promoting the arrival of the Luoyan Era, you can make your own decisions in other aspects.

Can you understand how even limited freedom can be refreshing? "

When Lucifer looked at Saint Isabella in his arms, his eyes were filled with love, like a child looking at a toy.

Then suddenly a tubular tongue shot out and drilled into the "mother's" white and smooth forehead.

Even though Isabella was clearly in a bad state, she still couldn't help but let out a shrill scream, which was even more miserable than being skinned alive.

"No!"

Lucifer ignored it and continued to suck.

Suck suck
The end of the tongue was not solid, and there was no bleeding from the wound, but it made a strange sound like sucking brain matter.

Saint Isabella was in extreme pain. Her body suddenly tensed up and she kicked in the air like a fish about to suffocate.

The already empty pupils gradually dilated, the eyeballs slowly rolled up, and a painful roar of "ho ho ho" came from the throat.

Her facial expressions were out of control, the crystal tears in the corners of her eyes and the saliva at the corners of her lips all flowed uncontrollably. She looked extremely miserable. Where was the graceful and elegant demeanor of an empress of the empire?

This is the innate ability of demons and devils [Soul Sucking]!
It is said that it can directly suck out the soul, which is a hundred times more painful than the torture of lingchi.

Lucifer sucked the fifth element from his "mother's" soul while comforting her like a child:

"Be good, it will be fine soon."

Byron's steps suddenly stopped, and a thousand alpacas were running through his heart: "Mad man! What a moody lunatic!"

The old gods having rationality does not mean that their thinking circuits will become the same as those of normal people. They are obviously still mentally ill in nature that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Lucifer probably didn't quite understand why Byron was shocked, so he licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue and explained as a matter of course:

“After all, how could a god leave himself a loophole?
If the mother of this new body dies or betrays me, the madness filtered through the Unsullied will immediately return to my body.

This is no secret.

What if she is used by you, the [Human Emperor], and stabs me in the back again?
Of course, preventive measures must be taken from the outset.

I took away half of Isabella's soul. From now on, she will only have me, her 'son', in her heart and will devote everything to me wholeheartedly.

Some people say that maternal love is the greatest magic in the world, which can provide extraordinary and powerful protection to offspring.

Parents should be open-hearted to us, don’t you think? "

Looking at Isabella in his arms, she looked like a formatted doll, with only love for this cheap "son" in her eyes.

He had no idea that his and Fernando II's real son had been eaten by this old god.

"Damn you, lunatic, die!"

Byron was too lazy to waste any more time talking to a madman.

He also fully realized that being an enemy of the old gods was dangerous, being partners with the old gods was fatal, and those who sided with them were treacherous and would never be able to gain any advantage.

When people feel sympathy for their own kind, they become even more angry.

He took a step forward to attack, activated the [Resolution of the Twelve Round Tables] to fully release the Excalibur, and swung his sword to chop.

Lucifer waved his hand and sent Isabella to another safe place in the kingdom of God, and took the initiative to fight back.

He pulled out a square box the size of a suitcase from under his wings.

This is the zero-level holy relic [Pandora's Box] that the incarnation of the priesthood brought back from outside the world!
Click.
The box changed shape several times in his hands, and finally turned into a jagged sword with a bloodshot eye in the middle of the blade.

Byron glanced over and saw the information of this weapon:

"Pandora's Box is the source of all human disasters and the punishment of the gods on mankind.

After releasing various disasters, it was reforged by a true god and turned into a powerful weapon with ever-changing abilities, and launched a special attack against all mankind.

It has 666 forms and can transform by reading the holder's memory, experience, knowledge and imagination.

It absorbs disasters as a source of energy. The heavier the disaster aura in the outside world, the stronger its power will be! "

"666 again?"

Byron is particularly sensitive to the number 666.

The three numbers “666” are the numbers of evil and vicious beasts in Chapter , Verse of the Gospel of Creation.

It is said that before the end of the world, the devil will run rampant in the world, appearing as a monster:

“Let anyone who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666.”

They represent the opposite of God, the animal camp, and are also the great enemy that humans must face during the Luoyan Era.

Even without the invasion of the Sea of ​​Element, Lucifer was destined to be the most determined enemy of the Creator and mankind.

Don't forget that in the myth, the trigger for his rebellion against the Creator was his unwillingness to acknowledge the rule of his human ancestors.

This number, when put together with this old god, naturally has a strong symbolic meaning.

“In human prophecy, the one who saves the world is the Messiah King.

The person who destroys the world is called the "false christ" or "enemy christ" in the prophecy. Could it be this guy?"

While Byron's mind was racing, the two men's attacks had already met.

Two air explosion rings exploded under their feet, and the two men's bodies were like two powerful crossbow arrows, almost parallel to the ground, running at high speed face to face.

The thick ground beneath their feet almost turned into flowing water. Circles of earth dragons boiled and rolled, but they could not catch up with the afterimages they left behind.

Then, two figures flashed and disappeared into the air at the same time.

next moment.

Rumble.
High in the sky, two brilliant broken lines, one red and blue, and one dark gold, collided violently. The zero-level holy relics carried their own principles and theories and collided violently. Each strike could cut off the rivers and destroy the mountains.

The thick clouds were plowed with cracks that took a long time to heal.

The Orthodox people on the ground had gathered, but they had lost their basic organization. Although their individual strength had greatly increased, they could hardly be of any help to Lucifer.

Anyone who dares to come up alone to help in the battle will be killed instantly by Byron's sword.

[Pandora's Box] changes its form from time to time, transforming into various types of alchemical cannons, heavy crossbows, and dragon roar guns, and suddenly launches artillery attacks when fighting with Byron in close combat.

Byron was not to be outdone.

He actively relied on his extraordinary speed to distance himself, and the powerful magnetic field on his body suddenly spread out.

[Gear 4: Ballistic Jump], which had been used once on Horus, was thrown at Lucifer again.

Each of the lovingly crafted tungsten steel bullets, made for him by his wife Violet, contains five sub-bullets.

Seven or eight lightning bolts shot straight into the sky and landed on top of Lucifer’s head in a trajectory that was difficult for ordinary people to capture.

The warheads were fired together again, and in an instant, dozens of golden flashes penetrated the clouds and fell from the sky, covering all the space he could dodge.

boom! boom! boom!
The earth was wrinkled like a tablecloth that was pulled hard, and everything on the ground was collapsing.

In just a few breaths, the highest seventh hill, Aventino, was completely razed to the ground and even turned from a hill into a small lake.

When the earthquake subsided a little, Lucifer, whose hair was partially burnt and some of his wing feathers were bald, rushed out from the ruins in a very embarrassed manner, holding a shield.

In terms of pure destructive power alone, this old god is clearly inferior to Byron.

Lucifer exhaled a hot breath, looked at Byron who stood in the air without much effort, and a hint of admiration appeared on his gloomy face:
"I have met many outstanding young people in my long life, and even compared with all of them, you are the most amazing one."

But he immediately changed the subject and said with some sympathy:
“However, do you think that you are a righteous army because you represent Alaya and the interests of mankind?

Are we, the old gods, who converted to the Sea of ​​​​Source and massacred humans in order to survive, unacceptable to the world?

Byron Lancaster, think more independently and broaden your horizons.

Before you act smart, it's better to ask the world whether it agrees!

Ask yourself again, who are the parasites and unwelcome people in this world? "

Byron raised his eyebrows:
"Ask the world? What does that mean?"

He didn't want to listen to a madman's nonsense anymore, but the "world" he mentioned made him subconsciously look at a secret in the logbook.

[Secret: A fatal duel in the Triple Point, historical influence 100, decipherability 10%] (Chapter 637)
He has determined that behind the Pillars of Heloxus is the "key" of the world, the most core node of the earth veins, the "triple point".

After that "orifice" was occupied by the three human gods, it was necessary to meet the two major prerequisites of being a sixth-level demigod and the heirs of the three gods before it would be possible to draw power from it.

But the first old god to convert to the Sea of ​​Element, [God of Plenty] and [Horned One] Sananos, clearly had nothing to do with the three gods of mankind.

But it can also break through the authority and absorb the power therein.

This means that in addition to the three gods, there are other existences in the "triple point"!

And it’s a huge trouble that even the three of them can’t handle!
It is precisely because of the existence of powerful enemies that [God of the Wild Hunt] Woden is looking for help.

In this deadly duel with different positions, since one side is the three human gods, the identity of the other side does not seem to be difficult to guess.

It seems that there is only one existence who can be beaten to pieces if any of the three major human gods attack him.

[The Horned One] Sananos is precisely the god of nature in this world, and the embodiment of the "natural world" as opposed to the "humanized world"!
Byron felt that even if the old god opposite him, who had served as the vice-lord of heaven and was an insider of the "Pillar of Heloxus", was lying, there was at least one or two truths in his words.

A thunderclap exploded in Byron's heart.

"so
The existence of the old gods actually adheres to some kind of world will?

I am the agent of mankind, and they or some of them are actually the agents of the world? They want to eliminate mankind?
Why? ! "

But Lucifer did not intend to continue explaining to him. Instead, he pointed to the dark ground beneath his feet and smiled like a winner:

"It's almost time for you to get going."

With the City of Seven Hills as an anchor, the barrier between the material world and the edge of the world has been weakened to the extreme.

A bronze door slowly opened from there.

At the same time, a hurried cry came from Edward's life box:

"Byron, this is bad!
I don’t know why [The Joker] suddenly broke free from the [Ring of the Nibelung] and has successfully escaped from prison. He just broke into my joint medicine.”

The words stopped abruptly before they were even finished.

Instead, there was a crazy laugh that Byron was very familiar with:

"Haha, today is a great day. The clown is very happy!"
