Cataclysm King.

Chapter 563: New Uses of Battle Angel

"This large-scale gathering of troops by the Oran Royal Court should be heading towards the New World Technology City. There was intelligence from the Alliance Army and spies infiltrated there."

"The New World Machinery City is the largest mechanical technology and logistics support base for the Alliance Army, and the Royal Court of Oran is also heading towards the Alliance Army. If there is a real fight, Miss Carter will definitely come back with support. In this battle, King Arthur is planning to Completely solve the problem of Donghuang."

"And Chujiu. Then Arthur is also here for you this time."

"Yeah. I know."

"By the way, is there any action from your monastery? I feel like that guy Jue Jia Yu will come to interfere in this situation."

"People in the organization are already gathering towards the Eastern Wasteland."

"."

The three of them sat around the fire and chatted about the latest information coming from the Illuminati Hermitage.

Ji Xun's mind also deduced various situations that might happen later.

But no matter which situation, it all points to one result: the decisive battle.

All three of them could see that the Oran Royal Court was planning to use a decisive battle to completely resolve the problem.

The reason why Ji Xun was not surprised was that if he were in King Arthur's position, he would definitely do the same thing.

After all, Eastern Wasteland seems to have centralized power, and even the regime assisted by the Silver Moon Faith is more stable than the old Oran Dynasty that collapsed two hundred years ago.

But this is just an appearance.

The actual situation in the Royal Court is actually very bad.

That King Arthur used a lot of reckless means in order to stabilize his royal power.

The Silver Moon Sect, the Seven Natural Disaster Monarchs, the Southern Continent, and the Alliance Army are all deadly dangers.

But to say that the greatest threat to the throne of the new king Arthur in the entire Eastern Wasteland is the "New World Technology City".

After all, those with the strongest mechanical technology in the entire plane are not the secret research institutes of the Oran Palace.

But the Song family has laid out the New World Science and Technology City in the wilderness for nearly a hundred years!

The technology, personnel, and well-equipped factories for mass production of mechanical armors are already there.

And now Ji Xun has obtained Titan's mechanical drawings and key production materials. There is also a steady stream of high-end resource support from the Alliance Army in the Old Continent. It can be said that if the New World is given some more time, they will even be able to create a batch of titan armors with impressive statistics, as well as countless hunter-level armors and other armors.

Once the mechanical army is formed, no one can resist the torrent of steel.

If Arthur wants a decisive battle again, the longer he delays, the less likely he is to win.

The situation of the Oran Royal Court today is very similar to the situation at the end of the Talon Dynasty three thousand years ago.

If the problem cannot be solved, it will be solved by the problem.

Moreover, Chujiu came to Donghuang this time, also for her nominal brother.

Not only was it a personal grudge to murder her mother, but she was also the legitimate King Augustus!

That is a responsibility engraved in the blood.

The Augustus family is not only the royal bloodline left by Emperor Lanlingst, but also the carrier of the Ka Master civilization.

Ji Xun didn't think this was the royal family trying to put money on his face, but history proved that Emperor Lanlingst made too many arrangements that would affect future generations.

He even suspected that the death of the great emperor was directly related to protecting the continuation of the entire Card Master civilization.

As the Augustus King of this generation, Chujiu was destined to shoulder the sacred responsibility of the Augustus lineage from the moment she merged with [Q of Diamonds-White Queen].

And Arthur's current actions have pushed the entire card master civilization to destruction, and she must take back the royal power.

and.

Just like Marshal Andre, who is at the ninth level of the Iris Legion, needs an epic war to be promoted, card masters who take the royal path also need a promotion ceremony to reach that point.

The best ceremony for royal power is to ascend the throne.

Even though Chujiu is not too keen on royal power, in Ji Xun's eyes, there are too many futures that can be deduced

Every step now has a vital impact on the future.

The three of them were eating and chatting leisurely.

Like any time before, nothing special.

The three of them are very used to this kind of relaxed relationship.

But today is slightly different.

Nan Jing, who usually talked the most, didn't speak much during the whole process. He just ate in silence, occasionally making a small noise when asked.

Fortunately, there was no gossip at all on the ninth day of the lunar month.

This made Nanjing feel like he was being amnesty.

Ji Xun didn't find anything strange.

In the ninth day of the career sequence, he practiced the "No Life Forbidden Art" among the fifty-two demon gods' forbidden arts, and he followed the path of being ruthless, desireless, and unharmed by all means.

It is said that if you practice to a high and deep level, you will be able to achieve unstoppable desires.

The weaker a person's desire, the stronger his strength.

Today's Chujiu is already very strong.

One month later.

Eastern Wild West, Yorkshire, Rigg City.

This was once the territory of the Capone family, the top five members of the federation, and had the largest green copper mining area in the federation.

Rigg City has the most advanced mining and smelting industry in the Federation, producing the highest quality green copper and associated magic ore. Therefore, it has been ranked as one of the top 100 richest towns in the Federation by newspapers for many years.

It was already evening when Ji Xun and the other three walked into the town.

There are still sporadic lights on the streets, but the rich nightlife of the prosperous city in the past has long since disappeared.

The blast furnaces of the smelting plant are still emitting white smoke, but the original forest-like forest of chimneys is still producing nothing.

The steel equipment throughout the factory area is also rusty and dilapidated due to lack of maintenance.

In contrast, the most eye-catching building in the city is the Silver Moon Church, which is painted with conspicuous white paint and brightly lit.

Every house on the street is closed, pubs and restaurants are also closed early, and there are almost no normal residents walking on the street.

There were only a large number of ragged beggars huddled in the dark alleys.

They sleep next to smelly ditches and with rats in the gutters.

This was completely different from the Lige City that Ji Xun had seen reported in newspapers.

This mining city used to have a large number of mining tycoons. Not to mention beggars, there were very few poor people. Because of the large number of jobs provided by the mine, even if the ore accidentally dropped by the train beside the railway track, you can exchange it for a few pieces of black bread to satisfy your hunger.

But now, the city is full of dilapidation and depression.

As the three of them walked on the street, they could see haggard Silver Moon believers everywhere.

They do not work or cultivate land.

He just prayed towards the towering white bell tower of the church in a daze.

After praying for a moment, they seemed to have received spiritual feedback, which made them forget about hunger and cold, and lay on the ground with contented expressions and fell asleep.

Along the way, you can see this weird scene everywhere in Lige City.

Ji Xun is not surprised.

He knew that these refugees would be in this situation not only because of the war.

What is more important is the nature of religion.

When Ji Xun was at the Airel Royal Academy, he read a large number of religious books in order to understand the ruling methods of the Holy See.

Let’s not talk about other things for now, but one characteristic of a theocratic society is that the living environment of the people at the bottom must be very bad.

Only suffering can make people believe in gods.

When human beings cannot change the harsh environment by their own strength, they can only place their spirits on the illusory gods.

Therefore, if theocracy wants to flourish, the rulers must not let most people live a good life.

Only by making people thirst for gods can the power of faith be gathered to a greater extent.

If people are already prosperous, then gods are less important.

If you look through history books, you will find that behind many wars, plagues, famines, conspiracies, and other disasters, there is actually a shadow of divine authority.

So Ji Xun was not surprised to see the situation of these refugees.

This result was destined from the moment the Silver Moon Sect came to power.

Religion and technology are inherently in conflict.

If it were not for war, the Oran Royal Court would have completely given up on mechanical technology and slowly become like the Southern Continent, completely returning to the ancient magical world of farming.

This is the most ideal social state for theocratic rulers.

Silver Moon believers resisted mechanical technology and did not engage in any mechanical labor. This left most of the mining city of Lige City abandoned and naturally became poor.

This is also a microcosm of the entire Eastern Wasteland today.

Ji Xuneng understands it, and Nan Jing actually understands it too. But as a high priest, she has a compassionate nature flowing in her blood, and her eyes show intolerance.

Looking at the beggars who were so hungry that they were just skin and bones, she couldn't help but give out some bread.

However, few adults are grateful for the bread they receive. In the eyes of believers, only gods are grateful.

On the other hand, children's desires are not as strong as adults' and are not so contaminated by their beliefs.

Not long after, Ji Xun and the others were followed by a group of young beggars with slim faces and yellow muscles.

Nan Jing also distributed the food one by one, and the children left happily.

Lige City is the only way for the Oran Royal Court's army to conquer the New World Technology City.

Ji Xun and the others came here because they deduced that this area should be the battlefield for the decisive battle between the two sides, so they came to check out the location in advance.

Also, there was news from Reni that he had brought the "exiled" Herlanders family to defect.

As Ji Xun guessed, the Titan armor production materials were lost in Innocence City before. Even the Herlanders family was a family of knights under the king, and they were severely punished by King Arthur.

Because of the contract between the royal family and the guardian knights, the direct line of the Herlanders family was not exterminated, but they were also exiled.

If the moon **** Arachne wants to completely control the king's power, the four disobedient king's knights will definitely find an opportunity to remove her.

Exile was also expected.

But in fact, Ji Xun and others understood that this was also a conspiracy between King Arthur and the Moon God.

Because Ji Xun showed up to rob someone before and let the members of the Herlanders family go, people could actually guess some of the situation.

Now, if the members of the Herlanders family are not willing to be exiled, they have only one choice left: to defect to Chujiu, the Augustan orthodoxy.

And if she accepts it, her position will be exposed.

If you don't accept it, then Chujiu will have no chance with other old officials of Oran.

Chujiu chose the former.

Although there may have been hostility in the past, the four knights under the king are all guardian knights loyal to their Augustus family.

As a king, she has the responsibility and obligation to accept loyal subjects.

Ji Xun's choice of friends makes little sense.

Although he knew the risks, he was really curious about what King Arthur was going to do.

In the current Donghuang, there are only a few beings who can pose a fatal threat to the three of them.

The agreed time is tomorrow.

The three of them wandered around the city for a while, and finally found a hotel that was still open and got a room.

The hotel is located near the smelting plant, and outside the window are spiderwebs of steel pipes and towering chimneys.

Fortunately, there weren't many machines running, so it wasn't too noisy.

Ji Xun observed near the window and found nothing suspicious about being ambushed, so he closed the window.

After setting up the barrier, the three of them started practicing as before.

The extraordinary laws in the East Wasteland are barren. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for the three of them to comprehend the power of laws from nature.

At this time, Ji Xun took out the two cultivation treasures [Space Rune Stone] and [Elemental Rune Stone] as usual. In an instant, the entire room was filled with the power of law that was a hundred times stronger than before.

Only Ji Xun and the others can achieve this kind of cultivation condition with full BUFF stacks.

At this time, Nanjing also prepared the psychic technique, and at the same time muttered: "In the name of the contract, summon the most powerful and invincible war angel Lord Sophire."

After reciting the words of prayer respectfully, she activated the psychic formation.

In the blink of an eye, a light suddenly appeared in the room.

After the light of the psychic formation dissipated, he saw an angel corpse lingering with the divine power of light and darkness lying on the magic stall in the center of the room.

Seeing the corpse being summoned, Ji Xun also paid his attention respectfully and said, "Senior, I have caused you trouble again."

Even though this guardian angel is just a corpse, this is a real **** who was alive during his lifetime.

Ji Xun had come into contact with his broken body and soul, and of course he knew that even the corpse had some consciousness.

He was lying there peacefully, but gave the three people in the room a feeling of being protected.

Now Ji Xun also knows the name of this angel who protects the country, which is "Battle Angel" Sofel.

Summoning this person is also an insurance policy.

With this angel around, even the Moon God wouldn't have the chance to approach quietly.

Also, this is a necessary "reference object" for Ji Xun's practice.

The Guardian Angel, like the King's Four Knights, is the guardian of the Augustus family.

This lineage all follows the [10 of Hearts-Hero] sequence.

Ji Xun wants to learn the exclusive secret method of the hero sequence "Sunless Sun", and the best reference for enlightenment is this.

The black energy overflowing from His body is the "dark matter energy" that the Aluminous Sun has cultivated to an extremely high level.

As long as he comes into close contact, just like getting close to a fire to understand the laws of flames, Ji Xun will find that his proficiency in magic and mysticism skyrockets.

Therefore, Ji Xun often asked Nanjing to channel this person to assist him in his practice.

And just a few days ago, he was surprised to discover another change!

Ji Xun got guidance from the consciousness fragments of the witch Lanlingst in "Gray Mist Remains".

Now it is basically certain that the interweaving characteristics of light and darkness in Talon's guardian angel are the supreme rule of the universe "transcendental opposition" that only gods can have access to.

Originally, this was an area that card masters below the **** level could not come into contact with, and would not come into contact with.

The reason for not getting in touch with it is because human energy is limited. Specializing in one path is enough to lead to the divine level. Being greedy for too much will affect the progress of cultivation.

There is no need to be in contact with opposites.

But if you can't get in touch with it, it's because your realm is not enough.

Regardless of the route Ji Xun followed, he seemed to be a [polymath], proficient in many laws, including the laws of opposition.

But in fact this is just a very shallow application of the law.

Compared with "transcendental opposition", it is like comparing the fish tank at home with the endless cycle of life and the sea.

Ji Xun originally couldn't understand this concept.

Until seven days ago, during his routine practice, he accidentally discovered that his witch deformation and normal body had reached a delicate balance. He was suddenly able to understand what the strong divinity of light and darkness on the angel's corpse was. !

Although it can't be described, the panel clearly shows that after Ji Xun sensed the balance of opposites, the speed of practicing the secret method "Lightless Sun" skyrocketed a hundred times!

Yes, it’s a hundred times cultivation efficiency that makes people unconfident!

When Ji Xun discovered this, he thought he was delusional.

After asking Nan Jing and Chu Jiu, they didn't notice anything unusual.

But after trying to stabilize that state many times, Ji Xun surprisingly discovered that there was really a magical power that helped him practice!

He could not understand the mysterious power that he no longer recognized, but he could describe it in a metaphor: like a fulcrum of a lever, the mysterious power helped him raise an extraordinary understanding that was many levels beyond his own understanding.

This made Ji Xun very happy.

He realized that this was the magical "opposition of opposites."

Ji Xun suddenly understood why Emperor Lanlingst used a witch to balance his extraordinary power.

Ji Xundu was extremely moved by the hundred times the efficiency of his cultivation.

But the only troublesome thing is that it must be maintained in that delicate witch-distorted balance.

If you indulge even a little bit, the distortion will deepen and the balance will be broken.

Fortunately, Nanjing has been helping suppress these days, so Ji Xun has always been in that delicate witch's balance state.

It also allowed him to practice a hundred times faster than the "Great Sun".

Ji Xun looked at the angel's corpse in front of him, looked at Nan Jing Chujiu and nodded, without thinking much, he crossed his legs and entered a meditative state.

Unconsciously, time flies by.

The night passed.

The next day, early in the morning, the roar of the first steam train broke the silence of the night in Lige City.

On the train that stopped at the station, thousands of people got off one after another.

Most of these people have families with them, mostly women and children.

He is the person who was exiled from the curse master family.

The boy leading the group was none other than the genius Reike whom Ji Xun had met. At this moment, his face lacked some of the sharpness it had before, and gained a calmness that was inconsistent with his age.

After getting out of the car, Lake looked a little confused and confused. He turned his head and looked at the old gentleman in black coat next to him, and asked: "Grandpa Reni, grandma asked me to follow you, where are we going now?"

Reni looked in the direction of the city and said, "Go meet a few people."
