Origin Player.

Chapter 683 Ascension Star

"Without the elimination mission, the hope of building a large army is too small."

In the dimly lit hall, Tangcu Cat, one of the three strongest players in the empire at the time, declared that players who had obtained the Teutonic Knight Badge by relying on this world-building, the Teutonic Hall, could project themselves to participate in the meeting.

"The Bear Fortress was completely destroyed. More than 500 players, including the Hanhuaren, Bear Demon, Crimson and other powerful players, were all killed. Given the personality of the King of the Era, we will probably be next. Isn't this a kind of annihilation mission?"

The White Wizard spoke in a somber tone from his large Teutonic chair.

Not far away, the new Emperor of Wessex said, "I hope everyone can work together to help the Empire revive and drive out the Origin players. To be honest, the current realm has only just recovered. The early to mid-game should be the time for us to rise. But the King of Ages is unprecedented. The Twilight Apostle said that He is currently in his weakest period."

A commotion erupted in the Teutonic Hall.

The middle-aged man seated at the head of the table, bearing the player ID "Feathered Twelve," finally spoke:

"Throughout the entire Ice Sea world, players of Twilight must unite."

"This is my master's will."

The whole hall fell silent.

The Feathered Monarch is one of the supreme giants of the Twilight World, a tenth-order life form, at the pinnacle of his era. His lineage occupies the Feathered World and more than a dozen high-value subsidiary worlds. He is a top figure in the boundless void, but he is extremely cautious in accepting disciples, and his direct disciples are few in number.

"Yu Hua Twelve" said, "You may all know something, but I might as well say it clearly today. My master accepted a disciple on behalf of my master, who is my junior uncle. He is currently sleeping in the Ice Sea World. Once successful, his lifespan will be greatly increased at this stage."

"Junior Uncle has fully absorbed the power of the sin of jealousy. He will surely become an unparalleled giant in the future, or even go further. Moreover, to date, including the first generation of demon hunters, he has already killed two powerful life forms. Before he fell asleep, he was not far from facing the legendary forbidden overlord level."

"Everything in this world must make way for Junior Uncle's awakening; Yu Hua Star will never back down on this."

"My talent is shallow, just like my senior brothers and sisters. I have no hope of reaching the level of a powerful figure. A powerful figure is hard to come by, and it is even harder to become a forbidden overlord. You should be able to understand my master's determination. If it weren't for the existence of the four great battlefields, my master would have even gone so far as to personally descend to protect the path."

Yu Hua Twelve resolutely said, "All players of the Twilight World in the Ice Sea must unite to stop the King of the Era. My master has promised two direct successor positions for this purpose and has sworn an oath to Twilight."

"Once Junior Uncle awakens, He will be the one to slay the King of the Era. To be honest, facing the King who has just advanced to the Heroic Era and is in his weakest period, Twilight judges that Junior Uncle has an undeniable 70% chance of winning."

The Teutonic Hall was completely silent.

All the masters and the leaders of the thirty-six major guilds remained silent.

The Feathered King has an excellent reputation and is known for protecting his own. Once you become his disciple, you can enjoy yourself without any worries. The Feathered World boasts top-tier traditions in fields such as painting, literature, music, cooking, and treasure appraisal, making it a veritable paradise.

Finally, "Feathered Twelve" said, "If Junior Uncle has an accident, all the players who return to the Twilight World will be executed by my master, including me. Unless you have an unparalleled giant standing behind you, you should think it over."

No one speaks.

Sometimes, silence is consent.

Whether it's the Ascension Lord, the Sin of Jealousy, or the King of the Era, they are all too far removed from the average player. The tide is rolling, and there is simply no other choice.

The new emperor of Wessex hesitated for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can reconcile with Mo Ke and let the Feathered King take on the role of master and disciple again, so that we can resolve our dilemma."

"Yu Hua Twelve" shook his head and replied: "No one can become the true master of the King of the Era, just as no giant is willing to coexist with Him in the same era. The same is true for my master. Once the connection is too deep, multiple monarchs will inevitably join forces to destroy the lineage. Those transcendent beings will not ignore it."

"At that time, the king will also perish."

The Teutonic Hall remained silent for a long time until the "Twelve Ascensions" proposed a vote, and the war resolution was officially passed.

The White Wizard said, "In that case, let's investigate all the powerful figures who have recently gained fame in the Ice Sea World. With Mo Ke's strength, he can't be unknown."

"I believe we'll have results soon," Yu Hua Twelve nodded.

……

The setting sun.

Jiang He rode back to Blackstone Harbor.

Norend reported the news immediately.

At the port, a large number of longships gathered, and all the blacksmith shops were bustling with activity. The orders from King Ragnar and King Halder had been issued, and the North would launch an attack on the imperial capital of Wessex, with an estimated 400 longships and 20,000 troops. Nearly twenty earls had already pledged to join the war.

This was not plunder, but conquest.

Taking the capital Wessex will lead to the collapse of the empire; this is the most crucial battle in conquering the continent of Truth.

"The Earl of Blackrock has confirmed his participation in the war. Of the four barons, only his blood uncle remains. The Earl has requested that we send a battle group of two hundred men, with our own ships," Norlund said.

Jiang He dismounted and walked straight into the wooden hall. According to the plan, Earl Blackstone was to depart early tomorrow morning to meet King Ragnar at Midgaran Port.

Jiang He did not reject the war. The Ice Sea World was an age of heroes, and for him, the growth rate provided by war was extremely fast. The land full of heroic beings meant that there were extraordinary factors everywhere. Moreover, the capital was the political core of the Truth Continent, and its wealth was unimaginable, which would help increase the wealth value of the Executive Officer main line. "Have Enzo and the others come over."

"Understood." Norend turned and left.

In less than fifteen minutes, all the high-ranking officials of the Golden Sparrow Territory had arrived.

Jiang He took out a golden wine glass filled with bright red blood. The moment the legendary item, the Holy Grail, appeared, everyone present changed color slightly, noticing the agitation in their own emotions.

The Holy Grail's purpose is to gather the power of faith.

In the world of gods, through the crimson moon, Jiang He unleashed the Black Death upon the entire world, driving all living beings into madness, thus filling the Holy Grail with the blood of madness.

[Name: Blood of Madness]
[Category: Faith]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Effect ①: Upon drinking, one gains a temporary sub-legendary skill, Madness. When activated, all attributes are increased by 120%, pain sensation disappears, and resistance to attacks is increased by 100%. One also gains a normal sub-legendary physique of Fortitude, 30% elemental and abnormal resistance, and an overall decrease in sanity of 80%. This skill can last up to 365 natural days.]
[Effect ②: The attack contains sub-legendary level madness pollution, and the energy nature is temporarily upgraded to sub-legendary level (non-holy)]
[Note: This is the blood left behind by madness in the world. It is suitable for classes such as Berserker and Wrath Mage. Drinking it will reduce the maximum lifespan by 25% and there is a very high probability of dying from madness. There is a total of 24 units available. Each time madness is activated, there is a chance of falling into severe hunger.]
“This is the blood of madness,” Jiang He said calmly. “It can strengthen you from your peak to become great warriors, provided you survive.”

A perfectly suited sub-legendary skill may not fundamentally change a person's strength, but for a Viking who is already at the peak, it is enough to become a stepping stone among masters of special skills, allowing them to bring out the Berserker's strengths to the fullest.

Jiang He's intention in bringing out the Blood of Madness was self-evident.

“I’ll go first!” Enzo stepped forward first, his eyes filled with the Vikings’ deep-seated desire for power.

Jiang He poured out a glass, and Vilt took the extremely filthy blood to her. To the elf's sense of smell, the putrid smell of the blood of madness was hard to conceal.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Enzo drank it all in one gulp. In the blink of an eye, he threw his head back and let out a chilling roar. His bones cracked, and as his body grew taller, it turned completely red, emanating a visible crimson aura. His eyes were bloodshot, like a demon's.

Pfft!
Enzo collapsed and convulsed.

The mad blood activated his body, but his soul collapsed under the impact, leaving him as an empty shell.

Norrend's pupils constricted, a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Torenos and the Green Ghost exchanged a glance and shook their heads slightly.

Violet stepped forward to examine him and said helplessly, "He's dead."

"If you die, you can come back again." Jiang He snapped his fingers.

The power of time reversed the madness back to before the blood-drinking. Enzo stood up blankly, looking down at his hands. Norland and the others were shocked. Legend has it that heroic spirits are immortal. It was clear that Augustus, who returned to the mortal world from the Temple of Heroes, had inherited this incredible ability.

“Again,” Enzo said resolutely.

Another cup of mad blood was drunk.

Enzo died again.

It wasn't until after three times, when he became familiar with this madness, that he could barely bear the power.

Jiang He has a clearer understanding of his status as a top-notch support player, and ultimately, the time loop provides a safety net, with a margin of error that is almost extravagant.

Enzo excitedly waved his fists. His normally sub-legendary physique was incredibly strong, a tremendous boost for a peak being of the Heroic Age, allowing him to unleash the full potential of such a physique.

“Green Ghost,” Jiang He said.

"Hehe, Augustus, if I die, please don't save me." The Green Ghost chuckled. This kind of challenging death wasn't considered cowardice; it meant he could enter Valhalla.

“Okay.” Jiang He respected the other person’s beliefs.

The Green Ghost drank a cup of mad blood, and surprisingly, he showed no mental abnormalities. If it weren't for his increased size, everyone would have thought the blood had lost its effect.

Jiang He said calmly, "You've always been a madman, Torenos, Norend."

The two stepped forward one after the other, consuming a total of three time loops before finally absorbing the blood of madness. Norlund displayed exceptional self-control, being the only berserker who could maintain rational thought under special circumstances. In contrast, Enzo's self-control appeared the weakest.

Four great warriors were born.

Violet watched with envy; sometimes, she realized that she had the power to do everything.

“You’re not a good fit,” Jiang He concluded. “My abilities will most likely not last until you awaken your madness.”

“Life is always full of regrets.” Violet’s eyes dimmed.

Norlund said, "We will depart tomorrow morning. I suggest we hold a banquet tonight to honor some of the prisoners from the Iris Earl's territory."

"No banquet. Immediately inform Earl Blackstone that I want to challenge him." Jiang He gave the order directly. With sufficient strength and core members, why hold a banquet if there's no need for a mutiny?

Everyone was stunned.
