Chapter 223: The Occupants of the Remains of the Heroic Spirit Pool (5K plus 57 58)
"He...returns?"

Herbert's question stunned the heavy knight hero, and the spear in his hand shook.

He broke his guard.

Even though he was wearing heavy armor with no weak spots on his body, his defense was broken directly by this question.

"..."

After a long silence, the heavy knight continued to clench his spear and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I... I don't believe it."

“I don’t believe He will return!”

After getting the answer, the Blood Wing Angel nodded slowly and said indifferently: "In other words, you have betrayed your faith."

After hearing this, the Heavy Knight Heroic Spirit suddenly raised his head and roared angrily: "Betrayal? No."

The flame of his one eye burned more fiercely, revealing his surging emotions: "It's not just me! No one believes that He will come back."

“No one believes He will come back anymore!”

Herbert raised his eyebrows after hearing this and said lightly: "So, you have all betrayed me."

As soon as these words were spoken, the already tense atmosphere became even more depressing.

The heroes hiding around and watching the excitement all stared at Herbert with complicated expressions.

Have we betrayed too?

"No, we didn't!"

The heavy knight stared at Herbert and shouted, "It was not us who betrayed Him, but Him! It was He who abandoned us!"

His words also referenced the emotions of other Heroic Spirits.

Correct.

It’s not that we don’t believe in Him, but that He has abandoned us!!!

"Ah!"

Herbert sneered as he felt the emotions gradually surging around him.

"Abandoned? What are you talking about?"

Herbert interrupted the heavy knight and said indifferently: "You still exist, I still exist, and they all exist too."

"Isn't this fact itself enough to prove it?"

The heroes rely on the gods for their existence.

If the gods completely fall and never have a chance to revive, then these heroic spirits will completely turn into wandering ghosts and disappear in this world!

!!!

"Do you really think he has completely fallen?"

When the Blood-Winged Angel said this, the surging emotions around him instantly dropped to freezing point.

The space became quiet.

Don’t the heroes know this?

They know, they know better than anyone.

However, all the Heroic Spirits can do is to deliberately forget.

Only by forgetting these things can they continue to complain about the cruelty of the gods with peace of mind.

It is not we who have forsaken Him, it is He who has forsaken us.

"..."

But deep down in their hearts, the heroic spirits who survived here knew better than anyone that such a statement was simply untenable.

They have survived to this day thanks to the mercy of God and are the people in the world who have the least right to complain.

After the Heroic Spirits fell silent, Herbert laughed secretly and continued to look at the most silent Heavy Knight Heroic Spirit.

"..."

The heavy knight remained silent, then silently raised his spear and pointed the tip at Herbert.

He was silently expressing his attitude. Even though he knew he was wrong, he still had to abide by the current rules.

After all, the gods have gone away, and they can only live in the present.

However, the slight tremor at the tip of the gun exposed his inner struggle.

Herbert rode Sophia down from the air, slowly came to one meter in front of the heavy knight's spear, and said calmly: "Why do you point your weapon at your compatriots?"

The heavy knight remained silent and gripped his spear tighter.

The horse's hooves moved slightly, and the distance between Herbert and the tip of the gun was only half a meter.

The crisis was getting closer and closer to him, but Herbert's expression became much softer than before, and he asked softly: "Are you afraid?"

The heavy knight hesitated and subconsciously wanted to let go of his spear.

But Herbert had already taken a step ahead of him, and put his chest against the tip of the gun, and asked gently: "My Lord's believer, tell me, why are you afraid?"

"I……"

He subconsciously wanted to retract the spear, but the spear was firmly grasped by the angel's hand and there was no way to pull it out.

"Are you worried that He will blame you for this?"

Herbert let go of the spear, shook his head slightly, and said gently: "You know clearly in your heart that He would never do that."

"He is merciful and will not care about such trivial matters."

"Have you betrayed Him? Not really."

The Blood-Winged Angel made the final judgment for their actions.

He turned his head and looked at the heroes of various races who were hiding.

This time, he did not see evasive eyes, but a pair of excited eyes full of desire.

They have been waiting for too long, longing for someone to give them hope.

Then Herbert spoke.

"My most loyal believers, my compatriots! I don't understand why you doubt your loyalty."

"The fact that you are still here proves that you have not betrayed me."

"You are just lost in the long wait."

"It's nothing!"

“It’s not your fault!”

"When He returns, He will surely guide you back to the right path again!"

He raised his arms high, shouting and inciting.

Countless heroes who were already depressed became excited at this moment.

Gradually, the heroic spirits began to repeat his words.

Every time he said a word, the heroic spirits would follow suit and shout out.

“He is merciful!”

“He is merciful!!!”

The sound was resounding, echoing throughout the entire outer ring.

And while Herbert was inspiring (bewitching) the heroic spirits here...

[“Yes! I am very, very kind!”]

The noisy gods were not idle either, humming happily in his ears and speaking words that no one could hear except him.

[“At most, I’ll just stuff you back into the Heroic Spirit Pool for a soak. I won’t do anything excessive~”]

Herbert's brows twitched, and he almost couldn't hold back his expression, and he shouted again quickly.

“He will return!”

“He will return!!!”

[“That’s right, I will definitely come back! It won’t be long!”]

……

This shouting continued for a long time, and even when Herbert stopped on his own initiative, they did not stop immediately.

Instead, he cried out spontaneously, reciting prayers that he had not uttered for a long time.

However, because their memories were incomplete, no one was able to pray the prayer in its entirety.

But they recited one sentence after another, and even if someone forgot, someone else would fill in the blanks at the next moment, and in the end they had completed the prayer.

Amid the echoing prayers, Herbert turned to look at the silent Heavy Knight Heroic Spirit.

He lowered his head, the spear in his hand had already fallen to the ground, and he exuded an air of decadence.

It was as if he had lost the faith that had always supported him.

No... maybe I finally found my lost faith.

Herbert looked at the heavy knight and nodded slowly, then asked softly, "Now, do you understand?"

The heavy knight shook his head silently, then nodded.

Did he understand? What did he understand?
Herbert actually didn't know, but he felt that this legendary hero must have figured something out.

After waiting for a while, the Heavy Knight Heroic Spirit raised his head and asked slowly: "My Lord Angel, will He... my Lord really return?"

Even though he had vaguely realized that Herbert might be deceiving him with words, he still wanted to believe it.

My Lord, have you really not abandoned us?

“He will.”

Herbert nodded seriously and promised: "Besides, He will be back soon."

He will return like lightning!
After a long while, the heavy knight slowly shook his head and said hoarsely: "I hope you won't deceive me."

Herbert smiled and shook his head slightly: "I won't deceive you, and your faith won't deceive you."

"And now, get out of the way."

He no longer paid attention to the Heavy Knight Heroic Spirit and continued to move forward riding Sophia.

"……clear."

The tall and old heavy knight lowered his head in silence, knelt on one knee beside Herbert, and respectfully bid farewell to this strange angel.

His words may be false.

But he did inject new power into this broken country that had been silent for countless years.

This power is called hope. The heavy knight knelt on one knee and prayed silently.

"May you return eventually."

……

[“Herbert, why did you do this?”]

"Ok?"

[“You made such a big noise just now, I’m afraid some people will notice it, right?”]

"Just notice it. It can't be hidden anyway." Herbert curled his lips and didn't take it to heart.

He finally thought it through.

During this investigation, he had to be low-key in his actions, but he must not be low-key in his performance.

Low-key life, high-profile work.

His current identity is an angel from the Kingdom of God who has just awakened.

The more high-profile Herbert behaves, the more suspicious people who are secretly observing him will become, and the more difficult it will be to determine his identity.

The more dangerous a place is, the safer it is.

[“But, isn’t this still a bit too fast?”]

Nenasha understood this, but in her opinion, Herbert's behavior was still a bit reckless.

"First of all, they will be less impulsive and will certainly observe longer, which will give us some time to develop."

There are many powerful people in the Misty Mountains, and any one of them has the ability to easily destroy the current Eldar.

Herbert must intimidate them so that they dare not act rashly.

If you can't do it physically, then you can only bluff.

And at this, he is very good.

"Secondly, Nenasha, do you really want to wait that long?"

Herbert smiled and said softly, "You can wait, but I can't wait that long."

He didn't want to spend decades slowly building it up, eventually successfully eroding the outer ring, and then continue to advance inward.

That's too slow.

Being too fast is not good, and being too slow is not good either.

Nenasha thought for a while, then suddenly said: [“Oh~ I understand, you want to see me soon!”]

"what?"

Herbert:?

What is this all about?

How did you get your mind to jump over there?

[“Isn’t it?”]

"I... am, am I?"

Is this right?
This... is probably right.

"My dear Miss God, if you really want to thank me, you might as well think of a way to come out earlier so that I can hold your thighs tightly."

I don't want to try anymore.

After hearing Herbert's heartfelt words, the God of Comedy smiled with great joy.

[“Hehe~ You can’t rely on me, now you can only rely on your own efforts~”]

"Ugh."

After successfully passing through the pass occupied by the heavy knights without losing a single soldier by relying on their rhetoric, Herbert and his men successfully entered the central ring.

After entering Central, Herbert clearly felt the changes.

The fog that filled the surroundings seemed to be driven by a mysterious force and became thicker and thicker.

As the fog changed, the aura of the Kingdom of God became more intense.

In Herbert's clairvoyant vision, the damage to the "Kingdom of God" was much better than before.

If the outer ring can be considered a ruin, the central ring can only be said to have suffered some war and damage, but many places still retain their past appearance.

The outline of the once glorious and magnificent palace still seemed to be looming in the mist, and the strange runes seemed to be still glowing in the air.

At the same time, he could feel the strength of the Centaur lady riding under him slowly recovering.

Under the influence of the aura of the Kingdom of God, the heroes can also exert even more powerful strength.

This also means that the beings here will become more powerful and more dangerous.

Therefore, after entering the central ring, Herbert no longer acted as arrogantly as he did in the outer ring.

He tried his best to restrain the aura of himself and his companions and activated stealth mode.

I punch hard in the outer ring, but I am timid in the middle ring.

This is not cowardice, this is strategy!

That is, after the stealth began, their speed increased a lot.

Under Nenasha's guidance, Herbert and his companions avoided prying eyes and soon found the three remaining pieces of the Heroic Spirit Pool.

The three pieces of debris seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force and were located in the south, west and north of the inner ring respectively.

To the south, Herbert saw the first remains of the Heroic Pond and its current occupant.

It was controlled by a giant three-headed beast.

This three-headed beast is huge, more than ten meters long, and its body is like a giant lizard. The three heads that look like a sheep, a wolf, and a bird exude different auras.

The sheep's head was violent, full of the heat of fire, and it would spew out flames from time to time.

The wolf's head was cold and icy as it chewed its frozen prey.

Finally, there is a vulture head that exudes a gloomy aura of death.

Its sharp claws were deeply embedded in the ground, and its three pairs of eyes were staring around eagerly, ready to attack any creature that dared to approach the wreckage it occupied.

Herbert speculated that its strength was at the peak of legend, or even higher.

Without revealing themselves, Herbert and his team quietly left after the investigation.

In the west, which is the direction leading to the inner ring, the remains of a huge pool of heroes are occupied by an entire army of heroes.

A legendary peak-level legion commander, three legendary heroes and hundreds of high-level heroes.

The high-level heroes fought two by two, the battle was merciless and every move was fatal.

After the winner is decided, the winner will bring the loser's soul core into the remains of the Heroic Spirit Pool and receive the distributed Heroic Spirit Pool water to recover.

In particular, the heroic spirit of the legion commander gave Herbert an extremely terrifying feeling.

He looked like a giant werewolf, wearing heavy armor engraved with countless marks of glory from his battles on the battlefield.

He was moving around outside the Pool of Heroes, holding a giant axe. Every swing seemed to cut through space. A powerful aura emanated from him, oppressing everything around him like a substance.

This army of heroes guards the remains of the Heroic Pond they occupy with an unquestionable attitude.

After finding out their situation, Herbert did not intend to approach them and chat with them.

The previous statements against the heavy cavalry were completely useless. Such words could not change such a well-trained legion.

Herbert and Sophia left quietly before being noticed by the scouts.

And in the north of the central ring, Herbert saw the last piece of wreckage, which was still occupied by a powerful being.

However, what surprised Herbert the most was that the opponent was not a heroic spirit, nor a powerful creature, but a very strange creation.

It turned out to be a huge humanoid mechanical structure.

It's a five-meter-tall robot! ! ?
This constructed mechanical body exudes a cold metallic luster, and countless precision parts are operating in an orderly manner inside its body, making a slight buzzing sound.

Its eyes flashed with a cold light as it tightly guarded the piece of Heroic Pond wreckage that belonged to it, as if that was the source of its power, and it would not allow anyone to covet it.

He is quite handsome.

But, I always feel that it seems to be inconsistent with the surrounding scenes?

Herbert couldn't help but complain: "No, how come there is such a thing in your kingdom of God?"

After being silent for a while, Nenasha actually asked curiously: [“Huh? So there is one? I don’t remember this either.”]

Herbert:?

Nenasha:?

"I said, this is your kingdom of God, right?"

[“That’s right.”]

"Then this thing..."

[“Don’t ask me, I don’t know, maybe it happened later?”]

Miss Harmony directly resisted the three consecutive times - I don't know! Don't ask me! It has nothing to do with me!
"If you don't know, then this thing... is the destroyed civilization?"

Herbert recalled the civilization he had seen in the classics before, whose name had been erased.

Has their technology reached this level?

In addition, what Herbert cares about is not only the appearance of the robot, but also its flesh and blood...

Yes.

This robot actually has flesh and blood growing on it!
With Herbert's flesh and blood knowledge, he could be sure.

That was definitely not the flesh and blood left behind after it crushed other creatures, but the fresh, beating flesh and blood growing out of its body.

The flesh and blood spread from its chest to its limbs, as if it was going to cover its entire body.

As he was talking, the robot began to grow flesh and blood. It looked really weird.

There is also a sense of curiosity in the weirdness.

Just as Herbert was thinking and was about to signal Sophia to leave first... he vaguely heard a subtle voice.

drop.

The sound was like the slight sound of metal friction and collision, or like the last warning of a bomb before it exploded.

!!!

Herbert's expression changed, and he said quickly:
"run!"
