Let's go back in time a little.
The Pope had just returned to the cathedral in response to the call of the seven saints.
At this time, the demons had not yet begun to attack the city.
Fuxi Empire.
Imperial Holy Cathedral.
Varona's coronation ceremony is being held solemnly.
The Queen's ascension to the throne is a high-profile event in the entire human world.
Varona will become the first queen in the history of the Fuxi Empire.
Countries around the world have sent live broadcast teams, preparing to use cameras to record this day that will go down in history.
At this moment, in the TV commentary, commentators from various countries are recalling Emperor Fuxi.
The cause of his death was covered up by Varona.
In order to avoid causing panic and turmoil, or simply to save the face of the Fuxi Empire, Emperor Fuxi was promoted to die fighting against the Ice Hell.
As frost spreads across the globe, the icy hell is no secret.
Driven by despair, serious riots broke out in various countries.
The country's leaders had to use combat machines and professionals to maintain the social order on the verge of collapse.
In the Fuxi Empire, Queen Varona granted the army the power to make emergency decisions.
The procedure for military executions was greatly simplified, with only two stages in total.
The first stage is to confirm the criminal facts.
In the second stage, they were shot on the spot.
Everywhere in Fuxi, those gangsters who robbed, killed, committed violence, and destroyed were all wiped out.
Yes, the ice hell is coming, and humans are likely to die in this catastrophe in the future.
But if anyone dares to take the opportunity to cause trouble, he will be shot before the end.
In just a few days, Fuxi's empire was littered with corpses.
Such cruel methods naturally aroused dissatisfaction among the civil opposition camp.
Some pro-democracy groups are seeking international support in an attempt to exert external pressure on Queen Varona.
However, this time they miscalculated.
Internationally, no country has condemned this.
No one stood up and accused Varona.
At the end of the world, any rational leader is seeking the stability of the country.
Civil rights activists who resisted the repression were secretly executed by Varona.
Immediately afterwards, Varona launched a public opinion war and conducted positive propaganda reports to appease the society and the people.
The TV station broadcasts the details of the Ice Hell 24 hours a day.
At Gu Qingshan's suggestion, Varona even captured a few dead people and locked them in iron cages, allowing ordinary people to visit them.
In the beginning, the places visited were crowded.
Due to the emergence of the previous Immortal game and the actions of the Killing Clown, human society is not as panicked about the spread of ice as imagined.
After the novelty wears off, people realize that it doesn't make much sense.
——The reason why many people are afraid of death is because death is a completely unknown thing.
No one knows what will happen if you die.
Is it completely dissipated?
Still have a place to go?
Well now, a living example is before our eyes, proving that people have somewhere to go after death.
Then death is not too hard to accept.
Some people are discussing whether there is a place like heaven or a kingdom of heaven.
More people began to do good deeds, hoping to have a good destination after death.
There are more and more people doing good deeds, and the social atmosphere has taken on a new look.
Nowadays, any old lady who crosses the road will be held in the arms of the princess - she even has to hold hands several times.
As a result, the Fuxi Empire, which was originally crumbling after the king's death, gradually stabilized after experiencing the cleansing of blood and fire.
The social order of the Fuxi Empire was even better than before the end.
Seeing this, various countries followed suit and soon achieved good results.
Varona's reputation was unprecedentedly high, and she was finally recognized by most of the forces in the world, and was able to ascend the throne of Fuxi.
A scene different from the previous life appeared.
The frost on the ground continues to spread, and some dead people appear from time to time.
The dead eat people.
Everyone knows this, but since the dead are frozen underground when they appear, there won't be much of a problem as long as they are discovered in time.
Armies from various countries are busy collecting the dead and sending them into space.
The entire human society is becoming increasingly calm about this.
Everything seems to be changing for the better.
Until a strange man appeared in a frozen river in the Federation.
When this person was discovered, he had already broken through the ice.
He killed a squad of thirty men on the spot.
Everyone's blood was sucked up by him.
He became very powerful.
Fortunately, a mysterious professional took action and killed him in one fell swoop, thus avoiding more casualties.
High-level human beings received reliable information.
There will be countless such monsters.
The leaders of various countries quickly agreed to go to the Fuxi Empire for global emergency consultations on the day Varona ascended the throne.
now.
The scene of the Queen's coronation.
Led by the Holy Bishop of the Empire, twelve priests surrounded the future Queen and walked out of the church.
The Queen will go to the high open-air terrace at the back of the church.
That high platform is also known as the place of blessings from the gods.
It is the holiest place in the religion.
On the high platform, the bishop will award the twelve-pointed laurel crown, symbolizing the throne, to Her Majesty the Queen.
This means that the queen's throne is given by heaven.
People in the church stood up one after another, followed the queen and the bishop, and walked towards the high platform.
Gu Qingshan, Zhang Yinghao, and Ye Feili seemed to be among them.
The three of them moved with the flow of people and talked quietly.
"Why does it feel weird?" Ye Feili said.
"What's weird?" Zhang Yinghao asked.
"There seem to be fewer people coming." Ye Feili said.
"That's natural." Zhang Yinghao said.
"Why?" Ye Feili asked.
Zhang Yinghao whispered: "Emperor Fuxi has unparalleled military power and can suppress the powerful professionals in the country. But now that he is dead, the successor queen is not that strong, so many people are not convinced by her."
"Is there such a thing?" Ye Feili said.
"Yes, many powerful professionals with real power did not attend." Gu Qingshan continued.
According to the statistics of the Goddess of Justice, nearly half of the powerful people were not present.
Ye Feili said: "Hell is coming, they are still fighting, aren't you annoyed?"
Zhang Yinghao said: "Rather than uniting with the outside world, people with power are more interested in internal fighting."
"I also said I would follow you to see the world, but it turned out to be like this." Ye Feili muttered.
Gu Qingshan was also a little annoyed.
The ice hell is spreading quietly.
What he wants to do next requires the full cooperation of the Fuxi Empire.
——But it may take a long time for Queen Varona to conquer the entire empire.
Time is so tight that there is no time for the queen to eliminate dissidents step by step and consolidate power.
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Yinghao came over and said, "I heard that some people want to choose an adult male from the royal family to inherit the throne."
"That's what happened. The army and some local forces were very vocal about this option. Varona tried her best to suppress these voices." Gu Qingshan said.
"They want a puppet emperor?" Ye Feili asked.
"Exactly, this is the best thing for them." Gu Qingshan said.
"Don't they care what this country will become?" Ye Feili asked innocently.
Gu Qingshan and Zhang Yinghao looked at each other and said nothing.
Gu Qingshan was silent and suddenly made a decision.
By this time the Queen had ascended the high platform.
The guests stood under the high platform, waiting to witness the most important moment of the Queen's coronation ceremony.
The bishop of the Holy Church held up the twelve-pointed pure gold crown and was about to put it on Varona's head.
People from all countries, as long as they had nothing to do, turned on their personal optical brains and paid attention to this historic moment.
At this moment, the number of people around the world watching the live broadcast online at the same time reached a peak.
But at the scene where the Queen ascended the throne, a very strange scene occurred.
From time to time, someone lowers his head to check the optical brain in his hand.
More people were whispering to each other.
An inexplicable commotion and uneasiness is spreading quietly.
Dignitaries from many countries, including the federal president, have turned on their personal optical brains.
Their faces gradually became serious as they listened to the news coming from Guang's head.
Powerful leaders began to give orders.
His Excellency the President is also remotely commanding the domestic armed forces.
"This is wrong, something big must have happened." Zhang Yinghao whispered.
"Goddess of Justice, what's going on?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"...something happened in various deserts around the world."
"The relevant information is not complete, and a complete report has not yet been formed." said the goddess of justice.
Gu Qingshan was surprised.
"Let me see what happened," he said.
"Okay, Your Excellency."
A scene appeared on the optical brain.
The Masala Desert of the Free Federation.
The huge figure blocked the light of the sun and moved slowly in the desert.
This figure is as tall as a skyscraper.
giant.
The giant appears.
It strides forward, and the desert trembles with each step it takes.
All the fine sand that came into contact with its body turned into a dead gray color.
Thick black shackles entangled the giant's feet, and flames burst out from time to time, causing the giant to fall into extremely painful burning.
But the giant endured the pain and roared loudly:
"Boost!"
It roared loudly: "We must build our city of the dead before the living notice it!"
"yes!"
Hundreds of huge figures responded.
The gray desert city gradually took shape.
The light curtain flashed away.
Gu Qingshan patted his forehead with his hand and sighed deeply.
What are you afraid of?
There was not even a trace of ice on the ground in the entire desert.
Those black shackles that bound the giants had nothing to do with the Ice Hell.
This is obviously not an ice hell.
——The second hell comes to earth.
Gu Qingshan couldn't help but look at the God of War interface.
A line of small firefly characters stayed on it.
"There are still 11 hours left before the Huangquan reinforcements arrive."
Damn it!
The emergence of the Ice Hell was delayed, but other hells came early!
Gu Qingshan asked: "System, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Ding!
The God of War interface replied: "The system does not know that other hells will come. In fact, you discovered even the Ice Hell first."
When Gu Qingshan thought about it, this seemed to be the case.
"But you can summon Huangquan's reinforcements." Gu Qingshan said.
The God of War user interface continued to explain: "I just tipped off the information, they are already searching for hell to escape from the underworld."
Gu Qingshan was about to continue communicating with the system when he suddenly shut up.
On the high platform.
The ceremony continues.
"Varona Medici..."
The bishop had just read the queen's name and was about to bless the queen.
The sky suddenly darkened.
Sudden changes occurred——
Everyone looked up.
"There seems to be something wrong. I feel a disturbance in the space." Zhang Yinghao said solemnly.
"It seems like something is coming - look!" Ye Feili also said.
Together they looked somewhere in the sky.
The sun disappeared in the dim wind.
A black gash opened in the sky.
Suddenly, a coffin appeared in the void.
The coffin was so huge that it was almost the same size as the entire church.
The entire body of the coffin was made of black bones, with blood dripping from the bone seams from time to time.
Bang!
A huge sound, like a cannonball exploding.
The cover of the coffin was blown open, and a monster roared loudly and was trying to crawl out.
It is a completely black corpse.
Gu Qingshan released his spiritual thoughts to observe, but saw that the huge coffin was full of sharp spikes.
These spikes pierce the monster's body and secure it in its coffin.
So it was extremely difficult to climb.
Coffins and spikes.
This is an unprecedented hell punishment that has nothing to do with the Ice Hell.
Gu Qingshan had the answer immediately.
For a moment, he stared at the sky and didn't speak for a long time.
Yes, at the scene of Queen Fuxi's enthronement, under the gaze of hundreds of millions of people, the third hell descended on the world.
