Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 210 Genesis

Lucia looked up at the golden branches and leaves outside the glazed dome, then turned to Malika and said, "You mean all the answers?"

The Queen gently raised her hand, and an invisible wave of divine power spread out like water. Lucia used her spiritual perception and found that the entire room was wrapped in a terrifyingly powerful barrier, which was stronger than the one he was in. The mental barriers built in the memory battlefield are no less impressive.

"Okay, now you can rest assured," the Queen said calmly, "From this moment on, no existence can perceive our conversation today - including the Supreme Will."

Lucia looked into the Queen's deep eyes, and after a long silence, she said: "I would like to ask Your Majesty, what is the relationship between the Beast of Elden and the Supreme Will, what is the flame that surged in the golden sea after the Holy Judgment, and Finally, who is the woman it transforms into?"

"Well, it seems that the incident that day did cause you a lot of doubts," the queen pursed her lips and revealed a mysterious smile, "but I think that before this series of doubts, you should first ask the most important question. The core issue——"

"What is the supreme will that has ruled the border area for thousands of years?"

As soon as the words fell, the room fell into a dead silence, as if one could hear the sound of dust falling.

After a long time, Lucia breathed a long sigh of relief, and revealed a long-hidden edge in her eyes, saying: "According to the history passed down from generation to generation by all races today, the Supreme Will is the creator of all living beings, the establisher of order, and the guardian of civilization. , whether ancient dragons, giants, humans, demi-humans, hybrids, or other races living in the border areas, they are all created by Him and have led the people from the ignorant ancient times to the present day - doesn't His Majesty think so? ?”

The queen had been observing his reaction with great interest. Seeing that Lucia not only did not panic, but instead spoke to test herself, the light in her eyes suddenly became a little stronger.

She smiled softly and said: "You also said that it is the 'history' passed down from generation to generation by various ethnic groups, but the history written by Chen Zhuduan can never represent the truth buried under the bones and years. For example, the Gulong clan has a long lifespan, and has always used You consider yourself a witness to history. However, you know nothing about the power behind the Queen of Death during the War of the Gods 100 years ago. The Forbidden War 1000 years ago has become a story that all survivors dare not even say a word about. Mentioned Nightmare.”

"As far as I know, at least three of the seven elders of Fam Azra have personally experienced that war, but why doesn't anyone, including the high priest Gulan Sanks, dare to leave a word? Where’s the truth?”

Just as Lucia was about to speak, the queen shook her head, suppressed her smile and said, "Because of fear - Lucia."

"Because of the fear of the Supreme Will, all living beings who have survived from the Star-Moon Era can only remain silent. We must cover our eyes, sew our mouths shut, and bury our heads deeply like an ostrich hiding from reality. Entering the hills piled with the corpses of our compatriots, twisting and crawling like a maggot in a pool of blood and mud, begging for His forgiveness, the crime of forgiveness is just that we, like those who died, tried to live like humans.

Seeing Lucia's astonished expression, she sighed softly and said: "At least for today, let us put away our temptations and aggression between each other, Lucia."

"I believe that Lance has told you to be wary of me more than once. Of course, I believe that with your wisdom and government, you have never truly trusted me. But it doesn't matter. Conspiracy and calculation, use and being used, It was the indelible background behind the throne, but the situation is different now."

"Behind the conflict between the northern nobles and the Samir people lies a far more terrifying undercurrent than that of the Duoris period. The magicians of Rhea Lucalia are also planning events that will rewrite the structure of the continent. Most importantly, He The time left for me is running out." Lucia's expression changed slightly and she said, "Is it His Majesty Radagan or His Highness Godwin?"

"There is no difference," the Queen said with a calm smile. "If you follow the original intention of the Supreme Will, Radagan and his fundamentalism are obviously more in line with His needs. The New Party and the irrational fanatic believers below are also more perfectly in line with the needs of ants. It looks like something."

"And Godwin is the choice that can best calm the internal conflicts in the border area. If he replaces me, neither Gold, Ancient Dragon nor Kallia will have much objection, and the order respected by the Supreme Will can also be achieved with minimal resistance. All over the world.”

"As for you four gods, you are the second echelon choice after them. When Radagon and Godwin reshape the order of the new era and exert their last remaining energy on the throne, you will be casually dismissed like me. Abandon it. At that time, God-men like you who have grown up under the influence of Two Fingers since childhood will be His most satisfied puppets, and the junction area will be completely transformed into His Kingdom of God."

"Supreme Will. What does he want from the junction?" Lucia frowned and asked, "For a being like him, is a mere mortal world really so important?"

"Rune - or the origin of life," the queen said softly, "and this is also the unified answer to all previous questions."

"Like Scarlet Corruption and the Mother of Truth, the Supreme Will, as the most powerful external god, Rune is the only thing he wants to take away from us. Down to the grass and trees in the countryside, up to you and me Such demigods and gods are essentially the aggregation of runes. The more powerful the life, the larger the runes contained in the body, and vice versa. If you want to achieve the evolution of the life level, you can only rely on quantity. Massive runes for support.”

"However, the Scarlet Corruption is just a reckless thug, and the Mother of Truth is just a rat who hides her head and tail. Unlike them, the Supreme Will has established the most decent, glorious, and sacred order in the border area-" She sneered. He said, "It's the golden tree above us, and the Elden Ring in the center of the tree."

"Do you think the only difference between 'returning to the tree' in this era and 'death' thousands of years ago is that humans can only be reincarnated as humans, ancient dragons can only be reincarnated as ancient dragons, and that all life is imprisoned in an endless reincarnation?"

"Wrong. Except for the Sky City and the Royal Court of Kallia, which still practice ancient beliefs, every place in the world that is shrouded in the golden order and follows the tree-returning ritual is the bait of the Supreme Will. After every return-to-tree In every reincarnation, the golden tree will absorb a small amount of runes from the souls of the deceased, trace it back to its source along its huge root system throughout the border area, inject it into the dharma ring at the heart of the tree, and finally be swallowed by the supreme will itself."

"Therefore, thousands of years ago, the junction area could give birth to extraordinary beings such as ancient dragons and giants out of thin air. A few decades ago, the junction area could also give birth to humans like Godfrey, Otaubis, and Mugram. Strong, but from the moment the golden tree covers the sky, the creatures on this land will become weaker and weaker from generation to generation, until they become a dead land without any vegetation."

The queen stared at Lucia, her lake-blue eyes dancing with scorching fire, as if her bright blond hair was on fire.

"The furnace of life, the original golden tree, the god of creation, haha" she chuckled, her voice containing the hatred brewed from thousands of years of grudges, "When the robber who broke in took the owner's skin and parasitized it on the trees. The cancer on the torso concealed its original appearance, and the killing and plundering became the name of civilization and order, and the dirty and shameless scam became the history passed down from generation to generation."

"This is the truth of history."
