Black i';jlkh''' fog represents tyranny and dominance, and is also the supreme authority.
The queen walked out of the black mist holding a scepter, her luxurious dress dotted with stars like the night sky covered with timeless light. The blue eyes that were originally as clear and warm as a lake have been occupied by deep darkness, and the indifference flashing across the beautiful face makes people shudder.
The angel...is no longer here.
No one expected that this change would be so sudden, nor did they expect that Eluma would give up her noble identity as a divine envoy and choose to become the Black Emperor, who represented tyranny and rule. However, everything now tells them that what Eluma does next may completely change the situation.
Some people began to look around. They knew that the kings and professional leaders of several big countries who had contacted Zhou Li and Eluma in advance must know something. These people wanted to find some clues from them. However, what disappointed them was that when faced with Eluma who had become the Black Emperor, these people had the same surprised expressions on their faces.
In the end what happened?
There was an emotion called doubt in everyone's heart, as well as a little fear and worry. However, they did not worry about their lives. After all, the people present included not only the monarchs or representatives of their countries, but also powerful men such as the president of the professional union, not to mention someone sitting not far away. , is now recognized as the strongest - Shadow Union President Kenny.
Therefore, in the brief noise, everyone calmed down. They cast their eyes on Eluma on the high platform, waiting for her next words.
"Everyone, I don't know when it started. The war is getting farther and farther away from us."
There are no expected proclamations, nor the tyranny that is unique to the Black Emperor. Eluma's voice was bright and her expression was calm as usual, "The inspection rune that monitors the fortress has not been activated for one year, six months and seven days. The last expeditionary force was dispatched three months ago. In the history of mankind, there has never been a war with disaster that has been so plain and easy."
Everyone in the audience was stunned. As the elites of each country and the leaders of their respective countries, the education and knowledge these people have received are far beyond ordinary people. So they may be bad, but never stupid. They easily understood Eluma's words, and they also subconsciously recalled the three disasters that almost set back human civilization by several years.
Twilight of the Gods, reversed era, disaster of the void.
In the dusk of the gods, only the dim and strange spirits with the desire to kill are left walking in the darkness, devouring the sunlight and the earth. Wherever the strange disaster passes, everything turns into dust. Humans are unable to resist, and even gods are helpless against these terrifying creatures that can devour everything.
Finally, with the joint efforts of the first hero and the gods, the gods infused the twelve laws into the first hero's sword at the cost of [the authority of the gods operates on its own, and the gods stay away from the world], and the sword of the first hero was transformed. All evil spirits are eliminated directly from the source. This disaster left the thirty-six-nation coalition of mankind with only six countries and a population of billions. In the end, only 300 million were left, and human civilization was almost completely extinct.
After mankind had gone through a difficult period of twelve hundred years, in the reverse era, this disaster appeared without warning. If Twilight of the Gods is a war, then the Reversed Era is a bad joke played by the world and mankind. In that disaster, all the elements of the world were disrupted, the water was filled with poison, the fire was cold, and only poison could survive in the soil.
The duration of the Upside Down Era was short, less than three days. Three days later, the gods who reacted worked with the new brave to seal the sword of the brave in the core of the world, and forcibly replaced the world that was undergoing great changes with the authority of the twelve righteous gods. But in just three days, human civilization, which was almost on the verge of restoring prosperity, was cut off in half. From 2.6 billion people, less than 300 million people were left in the end.
Finally, there is the void invasion that is closest to now. Compared with the previous two disasters, the Void Disaster is not that weird, but the suppressive power brought by the Void is unprecedented. Because at this time, the gods have completely lost their ability to directly interfere with the world. All they can do is to train and warn, or distribute their twelve cards to the brave at critical moments, allowing him to obtain the power of the law in a short time.
The void invasion lasted for a total of six years. The brave Chonghuang and the divine envoy Lin Yuan finally sealed the void completely in a desolate ruined space at the cost of their lives, and transformed the outer void without monsters into a space that humans could travel through. This disaster resulted in the death of 300 million people and the disappearance of 50 million people. The despair and pain brought by the void are deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone who has experienced this disaster.
At this time, hundreds of years have passed since the Void Invasion, and those who experienced that disaster have died. The new generation of people have only heard about this disaster from their grandfathers or fathers, and have remembered the cruelty of those wars. Consider it a legend. However, everyone present cannot think this way, because they are rulers, and they must experience the history that has brought despair to mankind through the records of their own country.
Therefore, they know what a terrible monster disaster is to this world. It can easily guillotine human civilization, and it can also destroy everything that mankind is proud of in a short period of time. At this time, these leaders and representatives who had been somewhat careless suddenly realized that they were now the generation that future generations would call "experienced the disaster."
The smooth journey and Eluma's almost predictable layout made them gradually forget about this incident. They began to regard this disaster as an opportunity, just like a game, brushing the BOSS in the copy, He started to scheming with his teammates for some profit.
Is this unreasonable? No, that's too reasonable.
Such a simple truth is understood by everyone present. They also know that fighting the disaster together will solve it faster and more perfectly. These people are not stupid. They naturally know what will happen once the disaster spreads or gets out of control. But the problem is, they have tasted too much sweetness.
Arms, food, materials for the war, financial markets that the big powers ignored, and the ability to retain their own legions... too many interests emerged in this smooth war. When the benefits reach the point where people lose their minds, unity becomes a luxury.
Zhou Li understood this, and now Eluma also saw clearly the true nature of these so-called leaders. She could see that there were great leaders like Herreinen and Magnum III who were wise and far-sighted and spared no effort to help her. She could also see that those greedy leaders were clinging to the coalition forces like leeches, sucking the blood of others. Eluma could also see that for a moderate emperor like William II, he neither fully supported himself nor compromised his interests.
In a peaceful time, she would accept all this calmly. Eluma is kind, but she is not unconditionally kind. She knows that good versus evil is the greatest evil, and if she wants to change this, she must make a choice. However, there was no time to make a choice now, and she had no way to stay by Atalona's side and be a carefree demigod girl like in the past.
Eluma has never forgotten the oppression brought by the Demon King, nor has she forgotten how the Demon King came back with miraculous gestures from difficult situations again and again, setting the world on fire in the flames of war. She knew that the Demon King could never be defeated on her own. Only when humans become one, will the Demon King truly reveal his flaws.
Now is the chance for these loose fibers of humanity to be twisted into a rope.
"It seems that you have not forgotten the disaster. I am very pleased."
Eluma looked down at the leaders from various countries. She had no arrogant tone or unpleasant expression. She was as calm as ever, but she gave people an invisible oppression.
"However, the disaster will not diminish because of your memories, nor will the Demon King be defeated step by step because of our short and weak attacks. What I need you to understand is that the Demon King is not a void. Her power lies in her close proximity. Endless life and absolute ability to infect. Please don’t forget the tragic scene when you didn’t listen to my words at the beginning and were attacked by the demon king at close range, and your soldiers were infected and turned into monsters.”
"Everyone, do you need me to repeat the initial number of casualties and their causes?"
The black mist gradually flowing in the eyes, as well as the invisible knight, are telling these people that the Black Emperor Eluma is watching everyone. Rarely, there was no quarrel or conversation in this meeting. They all stared at Eluma in front of them without saying a word.
Of course they know the number of casualties and the reasons for them. It can be said that these casualties are entirely due to their selfish motives. After receiving the warning at that time, they did not choose to face Eluma's words. They believed that creatures like the Demon King were simply too easy to defeat compared to the void. But what they didn't expect was that the Demon King's ability to infect was even more powerful. With just one encounter, the entire secondary coalition army was wiped out, and all three hundred elite soldiers were transformed into monsters.
Later, with the support of Eluma, the secondary coalition forces were able to defeat the demon king at that time. This incident has always been a shame to those countries, including William II and his Duke of Yingnan, who have been silent. Even in that destruction, Lord Protector Christine, who had always denied attacking in advance, died in that war and became the [Skeleton Lord] who later caused heavy casualties to the coalition forces.
Now, when Eluma opened up this pustule in everyone's heart, the expected anger or shame did not happen. William II, one of the parties involved, did not have any fluctuations on his face, only a hint of guilt. This is very inconsistent with the style of the British and Southern king. As the famous "Gunpowder King", William II is famous for his irritable personality. But thinking of the apology given after the previous quarrel with Eluma, a vague suspicion arose in everyone's mind.
"What I want you to understand is that the reason why we are sitting in the Watchfortress talking now is because we have been united in the fight against disaster."
Eluma did not look as aggressive as everyone expected. On the contrary, her words were gentle and not even threatening. However, it was such a bland narrative that made everyone feel a chill.
The most terrifying thing is never the violent storm, but the calm before the surge.
"Now, we have had our differences, the watch fortress has begun to become our warm nest, the war is getting further and further away in our eyes, and it is even just a lingering monster grinning at us outside the northern mountains. I believe that after being Until these monsters bite your throat, no one will care. Because its teeth do not touch your skin."
coming.
Everyone was shocked, and their eyes were focused on the four monarchs representing mankind, trying to see something from their expressions. But what disappointed them was that this time, whether it was Herrinen, Magnum III, William II, or the mysterious being Su Yuli from the Demon Court, they all maintained calm expressions.
It was as if it had been expected.
yes···
Only then did representatives from other countries remember that as early as a few months ago, Eluma and Zhou Li had begun to meet frequently with the leaders of the four major countries, as well as the presidents of the trade unions. In fact, this is enough. If the four countries can agree, this meeting is actually just a declaration and not a "meeting."
What she was doing was just giving notice.
"I believe that you are not sitting in your positions just to slaughter your own people and indulge in the spread of disaster. The surveillance fortress was built to observe the movements of the Demon King at all times and look for opportunities to fight with it, not to launch attacks. One tedious and useless meeting after another.”
Looking around, the black mist in Eluma's eyes became thicker and thicker. After a moment, she slowly struck the black stone scepter in her hand on the ground. She spoke again, but this time, the supreme majesty representing the emperor appeared and echoed in this indestructible conference room.
"If we continue to let it go, mankind will repeat the same mistakes. This is not an oracle given to me by the gods. It is history, the human heart, and the suffering that has happened again and again. Standing in front of me, I said that no one is willing to go. Listen, but the truth will always exist! However, the sad thing is that I can hear it and you can hear it, but no one looks directly at history and the abyss we are about to step into. "
Eluma's voice carries a kind of supreme holiness, but it is different from the holiness of a god. At this time, she was like a perfect monarch, facing her subjects and issuing orders that could not be disobeyed.
"In this case, I will not look for high-sounding excuses to save mankind. Since working together and uniting as one cannot do it, then I believe that everyone will make the right choice under the control of the same country."
The black mist of the scepter began to spread, and everyone began to panic. But they did not escape, because they had already begun to bow their heads to the authority of the Black Emperor a long time ago.
Now, all they have to do is wait.
Waiting for the establishment of the empire called Hades.
