Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 217 Warning
"But you don't need to worry about me. It's not yet the end of the world. At the last moment, I have my own way to get rid of the shackles."

On the way back to Valyria Hall, Queen Malika's parting words echoed in Lucia's mind. He pondered all the conversations between the two over and over again. Combining all the known information from his past and present life, he could conclude that what the Queen said was At least [-]% of what he said is true.

Whether it is the true background of the Forbidden War, the split of the Supreme Will, or even the millennium-long game and experiment between Alpha and Omega, after in-depth thinking, you will find that it is corroborated by the clues in historical records, and it is completely consistent with Lucia's external policy. Knowledge of the nature of God.

Among the external gods who came to this world in the Star-Moon Era, except for the March God and the local culture and beliefs of the junction area, Scarlet Corruption, the Mother of Truth and the Supreme Will have all shown extremely strong aggression. Behind the completely different images and doctrines lies the fundamental motive of robbing Runes.It's just that in terms of power level and means, the Supreme Will is much higher than the previous two, which ultimately led to the current situation where the Golden Order overwhelms all the outer gods.

The only thing that is still doubtful is the final outcome of Catpera, the Queen of Death at the end of the War of the Gods - Gurange, who was born as the high priest of the Sky City Beast, later became the "Black Sword" of the Eternal Queen Shadow Beast. "Although Malikis can be regarded as the ceiling of military force in the border area, but since Queen Xiaoyan, who is in charge of the fate of death, has been able to hunt countless gods for hundreds of years, she will never be helpless in front of Malikis.

However, Queen Malika only mentioned that period of history in one word, especially since the Black Sword had clearly completely defeated Queen Night Eyes and the Divine Skin Apostle, and even took away the pair of night-colored eyes that contained the destined death. Why? Instead of completely eradicating the roots, it is allowed to linger until today, and even stir up trouble in the future era of broken wars?
Three years ago, he and the three demigods of Calia were assassinated by the Godskin nobles on their way to the royal capital. Silua, one of the two chiefs of the Crucible Knights, conducted an investigation for nearly a year, but in the end they failed. Follow up any leads.Queen Nighteye and her remaining apostles are like giant pythons that escape into the depths of the swamp after missing a single hit, lurking and waiting for the next opportunity to attack.

Lucia's knuckles tapped lightly on the window lattice of the carriage. Under the premise of Malika's deliberate reservations, there would be no answer to the thoughts about Queen Xiaoyan. He could only put it aside temporarily and truly let go. What he couldn't let go of was Malika's own condition.

Malika is Radagan, or this pair of gods and kings under the golden tree system are half-body of each other. This secret information from the previous life is only known to him. At first, he did not observe the direct connection between the two. , but today, he finally discovered the strangeness between Malika and Radagan.

Putting aside the minutiae that they live in the same eternal palace but live in two separate branches, the confrontation and conflict between the old and the new parties have lasted for nearly 20 years. Malika's personal skills and temperament are far superior to Radagan's. The party is also better than the new party in terms of foundation, but it has repeatedly been at a disadvantage in political battles.

In recent years, the old party has not only given up many key positions in the DPRK and China, but even the traditional Golden Tree doctrine has been gradually replaced by fundamentalism. The Malika Church that once spread across the border has gradually evolved into the Golden Tree Church with a more ambiguous nature. , and even gradually transformed into outright fundamentalist new churches in some areas.

At the same time, except for the military and political power in the southern territory, which is still controlled by the Golden Prince Godwin and his family, who can be regarded as neutrals for the time being, the northern and eastern territories have completely fallen under the control of the new party, and the scope of activities of the old party nobles has been further reduced. It is gradually compressing to the Yatan Plateau and continues to decline.

If you delve deeper into the nature of the decline of the old party, you will find that when the dispute between the two parties has advanced to a critical stage, Malika often chooses to retreat and tolerate on the grounds of the overall situation. Take the northern border guard who is constantly fighting for the two parties as an example, whether it is The former Duolis and later Ossarian, who finally came to power were all the result of Malika's deliberate connivance.On the other hand, the queen's own state has also changed greatly from when she first met three years ago. The ethereal and alienated divinity is eroding her body step by step like a virus. From today's perspective, it is natural to see that the Queen is trying her best to suppress this process, but she can only barely achieve the effect of delaying it.

In contrast, Queen Malika appears to be in an increasingly involuntary state, both towards herself and the outside world. However, in her conversation with herself, she not only did not hide it, but made it clear that she Time is running out, which means at least two things -

First, the Queen still retains some kind of trump card or means to overturn the table in the face of the Supreme Will. Now it seems that the assassination of Godwin on the Night of the Black Knife and the subsequent smashing of the ring should be her last move. counterattack, but perhaps the power of Elden's Beast was too strong, or perhaps the Queen's power lacked the link of destined death, so the counterattack ended in failure.

Secondly, Malika has determined that he can only stand by her side in the face of the Supreme Will. After learning the truth about the forbidden war, whether he is willing or not, as a person who flows with the Dragon King and Dragon The Ancient Dragon Quasi-King of the Blood of God, it is impossible for him to join the camp of the Supreme Will in the future, and he will just be a god-man under the Golden Order.

Only under this premise can she cooperate with him boldly, and this time the two parties have to cooperate, no longer on a trivial matter such as exiling a duke, but on drawing swords against the gods and attacking the gods. Destiny declares war.

Of course, for Lucia, the queen's worries were completely unnecessary. She could never have imagined that an ancient dragon born in the golden age and native to the border area would have less awe than she did in the face of the supreme will, even if it was against the taboo. He knew nothing about the truth of the war and the blood feud from thousands of years ago, and he would never be willing to serve as a lackey and minion of the Outer God.

The reason why he accepted the Queen's proposal and decided to go to the West to quell the turmoil in the college was simple - as an eternal survivor, Malika would not allow the resurrected Esti to bring another forbidden war to the border. For him, The same is true.

In order for the local creatures in the border area to be qualified to fight against foreign gods, all demigods must grow to their peak stage. Ya, a top-notch lineup such as Larcade who was not devoured by the serpent, Lani who retained her original body, the Mengtmeng brothers who released all their talents, and Michaela who had complete laws, plus a battlefield based on memory. Having copied the unique skills of all the people above, even if the Supreme Will finds a way to come to the junction in person, they may not be incapable of fighting.

Prior to this, any force that caused turmoil in the border area in advance and caused internal friction in the power of mortal beings was tantamount to the public enemy of this world. Since some careerists in Rhea Lucalia Academy couldn't help but want to reach out, then He also doesn't mind chopping off their claws as a warning to those who come after him.
