Chapter 655 The First Dragon
Seeking enlightenment from the God of War? Zhou Ning was stunned at first. As a true expert in mysticism, he could understand Meredith's statement.
Don't look up, that is, don't look directly at the god; don't speak, don't touch any objects on the field, that is, maintain reverence for the god, and don't touch anything related to the god. As for maintaining piety... He didn't have any faith in this god of war, so it might be a bit difficult for him to maintain piety.
But he didn't say anything, consciously deciding to remain silent.
Patriarch Roger snapped his fingers quickly, and the curtains around him were automatically drawn, and the room returned to darkness.
Meredith raised his right hand with a calm expression, and a complex golden symbol appeared on his palm.
In a flash, the three candles and incense in front were lit together, and waves of misty smoke, half illusory and half real, spread upwards.
According to Zhou Ning's knowledge of mysticism, the three candles used to worship the god of war symbolize order on the left, justice on the right, and the self in the middle.
At the same time, a faint light and shadow descended from the sky, accompanied by a faint chanting sound and a sense of oppression that was so powerful that it made people despair.
Almost simultaneously, everyone was crushed to their knees by the overwhelming pressure. The overwhelming pressure solidified into a physical form, compressing the light in the room to its absolute minimum. An illusory world descended.
A negative status suddenly appeared on Zhou Ning's panel:
[Gaze of a Righteous God (Light): You are being watched by a Righteous God, all attributes -25%.]
His pupils suddenly dilated, and a storm of fear surged in his heart.
Since he himself is a demigod, and has the milestones of the God Slayer and the First Emperor, the oppression of the God of War's descent on him is not as great as on others. However, this overwhelming power is still beyond Zhou Ning's imagination, and he even dares not touch it with his spirituality.
It is completely in a different dimension from the evil god Nyastra and the dark spider mother Matalita.
Is this the power of a righteous god? Is there any chance he could catch up with, or even surpass, Him? At his current rate of improvement, Zhou Ning suspected it would take decades, perhaps even centuries, of accumulation to achieve this.
At this moment, everyone was trembling. Only the demigod Zhou Ning, Roger, and Meredith remained conscious. Meredith took a step forward and silently chanted in ancient Faric language:
“You are the very definition of justice;
“You are a practitioner of order;
"You are the embodiment of justice and law, using war as your sword and law as your shield to uphold justice and order in the world.
"I'm begging for your help. I'm begging for information on the whereabouts of Karl Robbins and Edward."
"..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three candles representing justice, order, and self suddenly expanded, emitting a brilliant light. The indescribable sense of oppression suddenly intensified, and even Zhou Ning felt the pressure. He felt dizzy, his emotions fluctuated violently, and even had a tendency to lose control - the inevitable effect of direct contact between spirituality and divinity.
Zhou Ning lowered his head involuntarily, staying calm and keeping his mind clear. His instinct told him that this was the best way to fight against divinity.
Meredith closed her eyes calmly and prayed for a moment, then walked to the front of the altar, took out the rosemary essential oil usually used in sacrifices to the gods, and dropped a drop on each of the three candles.
After doing this, the three candles suddenly emitted golden flames, which were like a mirage, projecting a series of pictures in the air out of thin air, and gradually became clearer.
The two people in the picture are Rick Green, who has brown hair, blue eyes, a thin build, a little nearsighted, and is dressed in adventurer's clothes; and Archbishop Edward, who is wearing a white priest robe and has a thick bronze book tucked between his ribs.
Rick Green's demeanor was now completely different, becoming extremely refined. Meanwhile, Archbishop Edward's eyes were filled with a mixture of calmness and madness, full of contradictions.
"This unknown being seemed to have been devoured by divinity and lost his sanity, but for some reason, he regained some of his sanity. Perhaps this is why he chose to join forces with Karl Robbins."
Meredith said in a low voice.
Zhou Ning was silent for a moment, then nodded, agreeing with Meredith. Archbishop Edward didn't look completely insane at all. Dealing with a normal person was definitely more difficult than dealing with a madman. The difficulty of this decisive battle inevitably increased again.
They were in a relatively desolate hilly area, communicating and discussing something, but this ceremony seemed to provide only visuals, not audio, and it was completely unclear what they were talking about.
"Do you know where this place is?"
Meredith glanced at Smith Hall and asked.
After finding that the discomfort had eased, Smith Hall raised his head with lingering fear, thought for a moment, and then replied:
"Your Majesty Meredith, this should be the eastern outskirts of Yukali Island, a desolate hilly area that has yet to be developed."
"The eastern suburbs of Yukali Island?" Meredith didn't seem to notice anything. She nodded and continued to look at the screen.
But the following plot was somewhat unexpected for Zhou Ning.
In the picture, Archbishop Edward came to a higher hill. He seemed to be performing some kind of ritual. He closed his eyes silently and then pressed his hands to the ground.
As everyone stared in disbelief, the surrounding vegetation suddenly began to rise at a visible speed. The ground cracked in both directions, rapidly forming a series of startling fissures. A massive dragon claw touched the edge of the crack and climbed upward. In an instant, a massive dragon climbed up, its wings spreading like a blanket. It was likely a typical dark dragon, its body shrouded in a thick black mist.
What is astonishing is that its dragon heads are densely packed, there are as many as hundreds of them.
"Is this... the legendary hundred-headed dragon Fafnir?" Even Meredith couldn't help but show a look of surprise on her face.
It is a 100% mythical creature, and at its peak, it was once an angel, but it fell thousands of years ago.
Archbishop Edward reached out and opened the Code of Falric, announcing something loudly. A large area of golden runes flashed by, and Fafnir was actually suppressed by him alive, and hundreds of dragon heads dropped in unison.
Then Archbishop Edward and Rick Green boarded Fafnir's dragon body and flew towards the southeast in a thick black fog.
The scene in mid-air suddenly stopped.
Zhou Ning couldn't help but look stunned. Sure enough, the real difficulties would not appear until he was ready for everything.
They had left Yukali Island before he was ready, and he had to face another dragon that was at least demigod-level, or possibly even angel-level.
On the surface, the difficulty has increased, but in fact, this matter has attracted the attention of the God of War. With a high-level angel like Meredith personally involved, if I miss this opportunity, I may never find him again by myself. I will always miss him due to various coincidences, and may even continue to be ambushed by the other party again and again.
This was the perfect time for him to deal with Little Broken Book and Carl Robbins. And it would be best if Fafnir was an angel. He hadn't forgotten that one of his promotion tasks required him to kill an angel.
He didn't want to and wouldn't miss this opportunity.
