Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 356 Doubt

Familiar scenes, familiar locations, even the expressions on everyone's faces were almost the same as last time - Topps watched silently, but sighed in his heart that in just a few months, everything had changed drastically.

He initially regarded the mysterious god as a demon who played tricks on people's hearts. After receiving a lot of theoretical guidance from him and obtaining excellent research conditions in the void that were simply impossible to achieve in reality, although Mr. Topps had to succumb to the truth, he still had a deep fear of this god.

There is no other reason. The more you gain, the greater the price you pay. This is the most respected principle by those disrespectful magicians.

They never believe in good things that fall from the sky, so when a powerful life form that is far superior to themselves inexplicably throws out conditions to them that are enough to drive any scholar crazy, everyone can't help but deeply doubt what that being sees in them?
After all, before joining Rhea Lukalia, Tops had always been just an unknown wandering scholar. Even though he was later taught by Cerrian and Lucia, his vision and knowledge limited him and made it impossible for him to immediately realize the terrifying significance of the unified theory.

Concepts such as the common origin of demonic prayers and the unity of gods and demons, as well as the subversive consequences behind these concepts, are only worthy of being glimpsed by less than a handful of beings, at least at this moment.

But it was not until this time, until the news of the Battle of Gaileed spread, until Selian, Tops and Adelina vaguely felt the breath of the master who appeared in the East Continent in the void, until they heard with their own ears that the Lord of Fam Azra - the ancient dragon quasi-king Lucia Sanx cut down the star of destruction with a sword, that they suddenly realized that the proposal to kill the gods that had terrified them at the first meeting had actually been realized in the hands of the master.

Esti, the evil star god who destroyed the entire Star-Moon Era, was one of the eight known external gods. Even though he was only defeated and sealed when facing the Three Moon Gods and the Star-Moon Civilization in their heyday, he was completely destroyed in this battle and left nothing behind!

They knew that Esti was far from her prime at this moment, but when the war broke out, they were all in the void. With the help of the super-strong mental perception of the memory battlefield, they also knew more subtle details than ordinary people.

That is, Esti, who was rumored to have less than one tenth of her strength, was in a much better condition than normal at the last moment. If she had not been blessed by the law of life, how could she have maintained the momentum of suppression in the face of the combined forces of two powerful demigods, and how could she have burned her origin after suffering a fatal blow and delivered a world-destroying blow that was enough to destroy the entire East Continent!
On the surface, the war between Esti and the six young demigods has finally escalated into a killing game among more terrifying beings. The supreme will that was supposed to protect the border area seemed to be on Esti's side this time, but the final result was a crushing defeat.

On the other side of the chessboard, they sensed the God of March, the Eternal Queen Marika, and seemingly also the Queen of Death Caterpella who had disappeared into history. However, the aura that truly served as the core was clearly of the same origin as the void, and that was the power of the master.

The mysterious Outer God who "plays with people's hearts", "is cunning and sinister", and "has ulterior dark purposes", faced with Esti who wanted to die together with the entire Gaileyd, and faced with the supreme will that wanted to use the lives of the people to establish his power again, chose to stand in front of millions of people in the East, block the world-destroying star, and prevent the tragedy of the Eternal City from happening again.

Could an evil god do such a thing?
Tops glanced at the fanatical Selian beside him, and then secretly looked at Adelina with red eyes across the long table - the former was already a die-hard fan of the Eternal Dragon, needless to say, and his belief would only become more crazy from now on. As for the latter, after this battle, she probably regarded that god as a lofty belief no less than the three moon gods.

What about yourself?
Tops let out a breath slowly. Wasn't he the same?

Most magicians are faithless people, but that doesn't mean they don't have their own persistence and integrity. He has always been passionate about learning, but he is not an academic madman with only learning in his mind.

He always admired the heroes in reality who were willing to stand up for the common people, such as the ancient dragon prince Lucia Sanx who had just completed the feat of killing gods. It was said that in the early years, there were also righteous deeds of liberating many alien slaves. What the master did this time was also... Wait! That power as the core, which integrated the blessings of many gods, clearly belonged to the master, but was it a blessing bestowed by the master to His Highness Lucia from a distance, or did it come from His Highness himself? !

Ancient Dragon Quasi-King, Eternal Dragon.
They are also inextricably linked with the dragon clan, and were born almost one after the other. When the Eternal Dragon performed miracles, the Dragon King and the son of the Dragon God also happened to rise like a comet within just three years. Could this all be a coincidence?
If it was a coincidence, why would the master have such obvious resentment towards Esti who destroyed the Star-Moon Era, and how could he easily establish such a close alliance with the three Moon Gods who had been in seclusion for many years?

Tops looked up at the black moon at the top of the sky with shock. You know, that aura cannot be fake, otherwise Adelina, the Saint of the Black Moon, would not be able to fail to see it.

But how could an outsider god who had traveled aimlessly for so many years and only recently arrived at the border area gain the trust of the Moon Goddess so easily?

It looks like this.
boom!
Amidst the chaotic thoughts, the starry sky above my head suddenly made a roar like a millstone. For a moment, the moonlight flowed and the stars shifted!

The false sky that Lucia had created to conceal her identity began to change constantly, gradually revealing its true face. The magnificent nebula that symbolized the Dragon King and the Dragon God also reappeared above the stars!
After recovering from their initial shock, the three people hurriedly stood up and prostrated themselves on the ground humbly, daring only to observe the changes in the world with a ray of light.

After just a few minutes, the changes in the starry sky ended. At some point, the figure that had always been vague and blurry and whose face could never be seen clearly appeared on the throne at the end of the long table.

Only this time, He has become clear and solid.

“Stand up, my believers—” He began, but his voice revealed a bit of undisguised weakness and fatigue.

"For some more far-reaching considerations, I choose to show you my true self," Lucia said with a faint smile and a relaxed look, "After all, I am facing some of the smartest people in this world. Even if I don't say anything, you should realize it, right?"

"Your true identity is not important to us," Se Lian bowed deeply and responded first, "No matter what, our loyalty to you will not waver in the slightest."

She raised her head and said calmly, "After all, whether it's Mr. Tops or Ms. Adelina, what we believe in is never your unfathomable power, but the way you treat this world is completely different from other gods. It is based on this that we have common ideals and pursuits."

"Are you right, Your Highness Lucia Sanx?"
