Ark's Journey to the Demon God

Shen Muke clenched his fists and said: "Now, who are the members of the military committee in Kazdel City?"

Askalon was a little surprised. She looked at Shen Muke and said, "Why do you ask like this? Don't you know? The Military Commission moved all its members to the northern wilderness to guard against Ursus a few years ago..."

"…broken"

Shen Muke's memory woke up in an instant, and he found the answer somewhere.

"Marquis, what on earth..."

"Ascalon, stay where you are. Since His Highness has given you an order, just obey it."

"I'm back to Kazdel. From now on, Askaron, no matter what happens in the future, don't doubt your current thoughts and opinions!"

Chapter 58 Black Crown Will

Askaron's sudden visit reminded Shen Muke of something that he had almost forgotten completely, and that was the physical condition of Her Highness Theresia.

"In my impression, people who are close to Theresia like Ascalon will be transferred out of Kazdaele only if something is going to happen."

Theresia is assassinated.

The original plot is that in 1094 of the Terra Calendar, with the assassination of the black-crowned Demon King Theresa, the Tower of Babel was destroyed, the Kazdaele Civil War ended, and the military council headed by Tresis began. Completely took control of Kazdaele.

The specific circumstances of Theresia's assassination are one of the many unsolved mysteries in Ark's plot. Why did the incident begin, how did it end, who "killed" Theresia, and what happened? Who planned the whole plan, who knows about it, what is their attitude, what is the secret behind all this?

YJ didn’t say this.

"Bastard, bastard, YJ, it's easy for you to dig a hole, but it would really hurt me if I traveled through time..."

Originally, Shen Muke thought that this incident had basically turned over, because the apparent cause of Theresia's assassination was the Sakaz Civil War, but now Shen Muke has basically stabilized Sakaz through his own operations. Today's Kazdaele is much better than the one in the original plot. Not only can we get cheap and abundant supplies, but also the entire Rem Billiton can serve as a buffer for the rear. Such a Kazdaele will fight If the civil war didn't start, wouldn't Theresia be fine?

But with the arrival of Askaron, Shen Muke felt that something was wrong.

Why was Theresia killed? Was she killed or did she die voluntarily?Just now Askaron said that most of the main characters in Kazdael are currently gone...

With his divinity turning around, Shen Muke teleported towards the east again——

Teleportation is not performed randomly. The jump according to the anchor point requires buffering and pause.

"Think on the bright side, maybe you just want to talk to me about life?" Shen Muke comforted himself in this way. No matter what the situation is, don't panic!

……

Kazdaele, the once majestic city wall has now been mostly rebuilt, and this new Sakaz homeland has basically restored its powerful splendor hundreds of years ago.

Of course, compared with the ancient Kazdaele Empire ten thousand years ago, it is still one area smaller...

Ta…Ta…Ta…

The devil's boots touched the marble floor. At this moment, Shen Muke only felt that the place was strangely quiet.

No matter what the reason, Kazdare's royal court should never be so peaceful.

In front of the corridor of the imperial court, there was not a single armored guard, nor were the scavengers and lichs in robes, nor were the stone-winged demons or the Sakaz who would guard both sides of the corridor. After being transferred, if he hadn't been prepared, Shen Muke might have thought that there had been some kind of attack here...

"The more abnormal it is, the bigger the problem will be."

Following the long corridor of the kings, Shen Muke came to the door of the main hall.

squeak-

The heavy door was slowly pushed open by the demon, and he returned to Kazdel after three years of absence.

"Are you here? Agaritu."

The familiar voice was gentle, warm, and a little tired.

Shen Muke raised his head and saw a doctor standing beside Theresia on the throne.

Shen Muke didn't act strange at all. He walked into the hall calmly, then stood at the foot of the steps and said hello to Theresia on the throne:

"Good day, Your Highness Theresia."

"Good day, Agaritu."

Next to the throne, the familiar hooded man slowly walked out.

"PhD…"

Ta…Ta…Ta…

The doctor slowly walked down the stairs, taking off his hood, revealing his expression as deep as the sea.

"Marquis, come forward..."

Shen Muke stepped forward and passed the doctor.

Ta…Ta…Ta…

"...Your Highness."

"Marquis, look at me..."

hiss--

call! ! !

Black, boundless black, unseen black, invaded Shen Muke's divine vision in an instant. He widened his eyes, facing the darkness of Terra in the Kazdaele Imperial Court.

"Marquis, can you hear me?"

Can you hear me?Of course you can hear it, but what's the use of hearing it?

When Shen Muke opened his divinity, the profound dark will completely invaded his divinity. He could only try hard to look at what the darkness was.

Gradually, the darkness began to reveal its true nature, and Shen Muke gradually found himself.

"Marquis, are you awake?"

Shen Muke didn't answer, he just raised the cane in his hand high and slapped the floor under his feet!

Boom! ! !

The melodious vibration like a bell made the Demon God stand firm. Within the empire of consciousness that had been eroded by darkness, all authority returned in an instant, and the Demon God's eyes opened——

See it clearly, see it clearly!

That is not an ordinary fallen thing, it is... land and blood, inheritance and history...

The deep darkness comes from the Demon King's crown. Within that black crown is the inheritance of the will of the previous crown owners.

Sarkaz, the dead soul is wailing. It comes from the history of Sarkaz, bringing pain and hatred here.

"Marquis, what did you see?"

"I saw…"

What am I seeing?

Shen Muke couldn't answer this question because he realized that it was not Theresa's inquiry, but more like a weird question from a fallen creature, like a request for silence.

"I saw...a fallen monster!!"

The demon's words carried supreme divine power. At this moment, Shen Muke regained control of the empire of consciousness and the divine space. He clenched his fists and waved forward——

"Go back to hell, monster! Get out of here!!"

hiss! ! !

The wailing sound like a snake's cry shook Shen Muke's eardrums for the last time, and the corrupted thing faded away with the darkness, allowing Shen Muke's vision to return.

Opening his eyes again, Shen Muke looked at Theresia in front of him...

In the hall, the doctor stood at the foot of the steps, and Theresia was still sitting there calmly, as if everything was just a dream.

"Marquis, what did you see?"

This time it was Theresia's voice. Shen Muke lowered his head. After a while, he replied: "I saw it, Sakaz."

Is that Sakaz?Of course, there is nothing more qualified to be called Sakaz than that existence. It is the collective will of the Sakaz people born from the Black Crown. It is like the soul of the Sakaz race, preserving Sakaz. Everything that has happened to man so far.

Of course, it also includes the memories of pain and shame.

"Agaritu, this is why His Highness summoned the two of us."

The doctor's calm voice sounded from under the stairs, serious and calm.

"Doctor, Your Highness, she..."

"At most, in one week, the flaw in His Highness's soul will be caught, and the darkness will come to take away His Highness's mind. At that time, the prophecy will come true."

"I saw cities in ruins. I saw Origin Stones spread across the earth.

I see you, with the black crown on your head, turning thousands of lives into memories.

I see the devil enslaving all races. "

Chapter 59 The Doctor’s Plan

"Tell me, what happened to His Highness's crown? What will you do if you call me back?"

In the hall, Shen Muke, Theresia and the doctor sat opposite each other, the three of them forming a triangle.

"If Terra's current level of civilization is used, I would be more inclined to curse this statement."

The doctor said calmly: "The curse from the dead soul."

"So, what if I use your words?" Shen Muke raised his eyebrows.

"There is no curse, it's just history, memory and things from the underground."

The doctor shrugged, looked at Theresia with a calm face, and said, "Agaritu, do you know about Black Crown?"

"The main material comes from the ground, records the memories of civilization, and is also the controller of the dome."

Shen Muke said helplessly: "You have told me many times."

"That's true, but I forgot about it." The doctor smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe it's the long-term stability that made me forget about it. The main material of Black Crown comes from underground."

"We have also doubted in the past whether the Black Crown, which comes from the underground like the devil, would pose a security risk..."

"Facts prove it, yes?" Shen Muke asked tentatively.

"Yes, not only that, but it's huge."

The doctor looked at Theresia's face. Under that calm expression was the core of confrontation.

"Kelsey reported to me a week ago."

"Theresia's various physical indicators are abnormal, and her consciousness is sometimes clear and sometimes blurry."

"Is it Black Crown?"

"To be precise, it is the will carried by Black Crown."

The doctor pointed to Theresia's forehead and said: "Black Crown, alive."

"Alive?"

Shen Muke repeated this sentence, waiting for the doctor's next words.

"For a long time, the survival of civilization has been passed down in Sakaz as the crown of the Demon King."

doctor's finger

Lighting the table, he said: "This black crown carries the history of civilization, and it also carries the history of Sakaz. Of course, it also includes the blood and tears of Sakaz for tens of thousands of years."

"If Black Crown is just a storage hard drive, that's fine, but the key is..."

"The black crown itself is a mysterious object. As history and memory are passed down, it has its own consciousness at some point."

"This meaning is infinitely close to the legendary dead soul. Do you understand the dead soul?"

Shen Muke nodded. He knew that dead souls were a kind of existence that seemed to be inanimate but not alive. The tin man in the original plot and the airship in charge of natural disasters were all dead souls.

"The will of Black Crown's birth is infinitely close to that of a dead soul. It originally had no consciousness, no body, and no memory and knowledge that a living being should have."

"But the problem is that Black Crown contains the history of Sakaz." Shen Muke narrowed his eyes and said: "This history gave Black Crown's will a [soul], turning it into a monster full of revenge and pain... And This monster is now possessing Theresia!"

"To be precise, it wants to take away Theresia."

The doctor finally sent an explosive message, saying: "Just now, you saw that monster. If Theresia hadn't suppressed it herself, it would have probably destroyed Kazdaele and turned the city into a It’s in ruins.”

Indeed, the monster does have such power.
