Arcane splendor begins with the throne

Chapter 72 Ceremony (for Subscription)

"You see, the world of death. There, at the top of the horizon. Yes, that frail body is it, and it comes to me. For all of us, rejoice, for the end is coming, for all life, all All pain, all suffering, will be silenced in perfect eternity!”

——Excerpt from a message from a mad astronomer and a profane priest
World Exterminating Death Star!

This world, born dead, drifts through the void of space, seeking the worlds it wants to destroy, and when it finds them, erasing all life with its horrific touch.

Its touch is terrifying, and countless barren worlds crawling with restless undead silently bear witness to it.

As a descendant of the Creator, it is dedicated to destroying everything.

Nothing, not even the gods, can stop its relentless pace.

……

Looking at the Death Star hanging in the night, Brian recalled the memories of his previous life.

Every sentient mortal race and civilization has stories or myths describing the creation of the world and the birth of ancestors to explain its own existence.

At the same time, in order to warn future generations, they will also be mixed with many legends about the destruction of the world.

Among them, the ancient evil object 'Death Star' is the most mentioned existence.

Even though some myths and legends are common across races, regional differences, mistranslations, and lack of reliable sources of information make the process of finding the origin of the Death Star difficult and uncertain.

However, Brian still clearly remembered that when he was flipping through some religious documents, he saw how the ancient evil, the Death Star, was discovered.

It is said that some scholars recovered an ancient document on a strange tower in the shadow plane.

They then made a breakthrough by comparing the myths of dwarven creation, the legends of the gray elves, and the lore left by an ancient lich.

However, to the dismay of these theological scholars, they found in this document a horrific divine accident, something called 'born to die'.

This is an account of how the Death Star was first discovered.

At the same time, many people began to study and debate how this ancient evil was born.

In the long debate on the origin of this ancient evil, many theologians believe that the Death Star was born as the first god created by the god Io, but it died as soon as it was born.Some people claim that it was transformed from the placenta of Reaper when Io created No.1 Reaper.There are even a small number of people who believe that it is the last god created by Io, and it is also born and died.

No matter how much the theologians who study ancient evils argue, it can't change one fact.

That's the purpose of the Death Star, very simple: to wipe out all life and ultimately the entire multiverse.

The moment all life is swept away from the material world, the gods will cease to exist, and with their destruction it will find its own end.

The Death Star sucks life out of the worlds it encounters, draining the life energy of an entire world as it gets closer and closer to a planet.

Just like all the dryads representing the will of nature in Asno Continent disappeared, in fact, they were completely corrupted by the negative energy of the Death Star.

And, once it gets close enough to a planet's gravitational reach, the ancient, evil object enters a descending orbit, getting closer and larger in the night sky.

The effect was horrific, as the Death Star approached the surface of the planet, the dead rose from their graves, and as the Death Star filled the night sky, the twitching undead spread like a smear until there was no life left.

The Death Star is a very strange existence. Rather than being a living thing, it is better to say that it is a planet.

It lives in the empty space of the planet, as if floating, slowly drifting with its senses, looking for signs of life in the huge empty space.

Once it detects the signs of life, it goes towards its source, and then under the action of gravity, it slams down like a meteorite, leaving only negative energy raging everywhere.

Brian was walking around the tallest oak tree in the temple, his right hand exuding the aura of "detection magic" gently stroking the withered bark of the oak tree Sina Fey Melianne.

He could clearly feel that this oak tree, which represented the origin of natural life, had completely lost its vitality.

Brian looked at the sky with a heavy heart. The pale pupil-like Death Star was only the size of a small disc, as if it was in the distant deep space, and it seemed to be hanging above his head, pressing down on his heavy heart.

When the death star is gradually approaching and the signs are strengthened, it will be found that it is growing slowly under the observation of the naked eye, ending from a small disc in the sky to cover the sky of the entire world.

The evil thing at this time has obviously not grown to this point, and has not even reached the gravitational range from the Asno continent.

But for it, it's just a matter of time.

So taking advantage of this time, what Brian needs to do is to arrange a magic circle under the Death Star that repels the Death Star, and use the surging natural energy to offset the negative energy that erodes the world, so that the Death Star Temporarily deviated from the orbit of Asno Continent.

Even though the Extinct Death Star is shifted from the orbit of Asno planet, it can still re-lock its position through the breath of life and the negative energy left by this world.

But this locking process and the speed of moving to the Asno continent are just delaying time for Brian.

After all, the Mieshi Death Star wanders very slowly in the universe. Only when it completely enters the gravitational range of a world will it be affected by the gravitational force and slam down.

Even so, the negative energy emanating from the Death Star will seriously affect the positive energy of the entire world.

Often when the death star descends on the surface, this place has already become a paradise for the dead.

Brian didn't dare to waste time. After spending a long time calculating the future foothold of the Death Star, he quickly took out a large pile of magic materials that he had prepared long ago.

After determining the range, he first drew out the sharp sword in his hand, and used the tip of the sword to trace the outline of the magic circle on the ground at an extremely fast speed.

When the complicated outline was drawn, he used the telekinesis ability of the "Hand of Arcane Art" to guide the magic ink shining with silver luster in the bottle, and sprinkle it on the traces of the outline on the ground little by little.

Soon, an eight-pointed star formation shining with silver luster appeared on the ground.

Brian put away the ink, took out the pen, and began to carve small but complex magic runes one after another.

This process is undoubtedly very time-consuming. Each magic rune is like a Chinese character, different and surprisingly similar.In the process of depicting, Brian had to write the runes correctly stroke by stroke.

If not, when the magic circle is activated, it will fail to operate due to an inconspicuous mistake, and even have unimaginable consequences.

Among the wizards in the main material world, 90% of the wizards who died were caused by some kind of magic experiment and errors in the formation of magic circles, and the remaining 10% were caused by natural deaths and combat deaths.

It can be seen from this that the degree of self-death of the wizard is high.

Fortunately, Brian's process of mastering magic runes was actually very similar to how he learned Chinese characters since he was a child.This also allows him to still completely remember every rune he has learned, and what effects can be produced when the runes are combined.

As time slowly passed, more and more magic runes appeared on the ground, and the pen in Brian's hand was replaced with golden ink at least ten times.

About two hours later, Brian put away his pen and let out a long sigh of relief.

He straightened up and opened a golden box on the ground.

Immediately, more than a dozen bright gemstones of different colors appeared in the night, shining brightly inside the box.

Brian cautiously began to embed these rare gems into the nodes of the magic circle one by one.

After everything was ready, he quickly withdrew from the magic circle and began to chant an obscure incantation.

As Brian's high-spirited tone echoed in the temple, the gems inlaid on the magic circle also shined brightly one after another.This light is like a liquid, flowing through all the magic runes on the magic circle.

When all the magic runes shone brightly in the night, Brian immediately stretched out his arms and raised his head slightly.

Along with the colorful energy bursting and wandering around him, a fist-sized green light ball began to condense and form on the ground in the center of the magic circle.

Brian controlled and guided the green ball of light in the center of the magic circle with a dignified expression, and slowly floated up into the sky.

The runes flowing like a stream in the magic circle shone like stars, condensing countless green light points and quickly converging towards the light ball in the center.

This is a guiding eight-pointed star array. The eight corners of the eight-pointed star represent eight directions, which means eight forms of absorbing the natural energy from all sides of the earth.

As long as the green light sphere in the center of the magic circle is large enough, it means that the absorbed natural energy is very rich, which means that the chance of deviating the world-destroying death star is greater.

The green light pulsated under Brian's guidance and began to rapidly expand and expand, emitting an increasingly dazzling light.

But in Brian's view, this is not enough.

His hands kept changing complicated gestures, gradually increasing the speed at which the green light ball absorbed energy.

During this very short-lived guidance process for outsiders, and very long for Brian, the person involved, the ball of light is slowly growing larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, an imperceptible cracking sound was heard, and Brian captured it instantly.

His expression changed slightly, knowing that the emerald gem in the center of the circle was about to run out of energy.

Then with a thought, arcane flames exuding blue and white flames slowly floated out of his body.

Immediately afterwards, strands of energy that looked like substance all converged towards the gem in the magic circle, and the dim gem bloomed brightly again in an instant.

At the same time, the countless runes shining with the light of stars in the magic circle once again condensed a little green light, all of which converged towards the green light ball.

Feeling the surge of arcane energy in his body like a flood, Brian resisted the sting of mental power and directly activated the special ability "Arcane Recall" attached to the arcane fire.

However, this is not enough.

Brian gritted his teeth, like a crazy gambler, and gathered all the magical energy accumulated in the arcane fire towards the magic circle.

Even so, Brian still felt that it was not enough. He pondered for a while, and a bold idea came to his mind.

Then put this idea into action without hesitation.

Soon, a crystal-clear teardrop-shaped gem flew out of Brian's arms.

He carefully controlled the Dryad's Tears he got from Granny Veranthal, and embedded it in one of the nodes of the Octagram Circle, replacing the emerald stone that shattered first.

The moment the dryad's tear fell into the node, it suddenly emitted a green light that was more dazzling than the green light ball, like hundreds of sharp daggers stabbing Brian so hard to open his eyes.

Brian saw something was going on, resisted the pain in his eyes, and immediately accelerated the speed at which the green light ball absorbed energy.

With the passage of time, the green light ball gradually grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye...

I don't know how long it lasted like this.

Suddenly, all the energy gemstones in the magic circle, except for the Dryad's Tears, could not withstand the surge of magical energy, as if they had fulfilled their mission, they were blown to pieces at the same time.

Brian's expression became more dignified than ever. He struggled to control the solid light ball with a diameter of about 10 inches, and lifted it up suddenly.

In an instant, this ball of light was like a twinkling meteor, dragging a slender emerald tail flame in the pitch-black night sky, roaring towards the sky.

At the same time, in the nodes of the magic circle, in the dim Dryad's Tears, several green lightning bolts suddenly flashed and followed, until they disappeared without a trace.

Brian looked at the disappearing lightning with an expression of surprise, and then looked at the Tears of the Dryad that had completely dimmed.

He had a hunch that the green lightning just now might be a divine power.

This also means that the success rate of departing from the Extinct Death Star has been greatly increased.

Afterwards, he breathed a long sigh of relief, opened his arms and fell to the ground on his back, just staring at the green shooting star in the sky rushing towards the pale pupil-like death star.

Although at this time his whole body was limp and weak, as if his bones had all fallen apart.

But seeing the pale Death Star in the sky disappearing little by little, Brian couldn't help but smile.

He felt all the weight that was weighing on him suddenly disappear.

At this time, he had enough time to grow rapidly in this world, and then successfully left before the evil thing came.

Brian felt that it was necessary for him to plan his development route before leaving this world.

Just when he was deep in thought, a suffocating shadow enveloped him without warning, and a huge body appeared out of nowhere in front of his eyes.

Brian looked intently, and saw that it was a tall, powerful, humanoid monster that displayed extreme darkness and danger.

It has no head, its whole body is filled with rotten muscles, and its dirty body is covered with holes and cracks like circular pits.

"Tremble, mortals, you should know what despair is! The end has come to this world, and no one can escape it!"

A deep, sonorous voice came, making Brian's ears ring.

Looking at the terrifying giant in front of him, Brian was very thankful that he had spent so much time meditating to strengthen his ability to control his mind and stabilize his emotions.

Because of this, at the first moment, his expression showed a kind of complete composure and composure, without showing any fear or retreat.

"Then I'll wait for you to crawl back slowly." Brian sarcastically sarcastically directed at the headless monster, and specially emphasized the word "slowly".

In fact, the Death Star is self-aware, and its memories can even be traced back to the beginning of the gods.

Moreover, it is also very clear about its mission as the incarnation of death.

The reason why Brian is not afraid of it is mainly because the Mieshi Death Star is an evil thing that can only show its power by relying on the flesh.

What appeared in front of his eyes at this moment was actually a projection without any threat.

"All life will be silent in eternal immortality, and I will personally take you to rot in the mud! Tremble, mortals, fate will not favor you, and the gods will not have mercy on you, none of you can escape, dead This world will not give you a chance of redemption, it will only torture you to death mercilessly!" In the twisted shadow, the Mieshi Death Star uttered a harsh word and disappeared without a trace.

"Remember! One day, I will come back!"

Brian curled his lips in disdain, and at the same time thought to himself: By the time you come back, I would have already run away.

He lay on the ground to rest for a while, as if he remembered something, and then dragged his exhausted body towards the magic circle where the light had dissipated.

Sure enough, he saw that the Dryad's Tears were still quietly embedded in the node of the magic circle that had long since expired.

Compared with before, the Dryad's Tears at this time were obviously much darker, like a dusty pearl, but this kind of dust obviously couldn't be wiped off.

Brian knew very well that if it weren't for the divine power in this gem, he would never have been able to temporarily derail the Death Star so easily.

Even as a last resort, in order to awaken the power of nature, a forbidden ceremony is held: the dance of the dryad.

As a mortal, he is very aware of how much he weighs. He took the risk to combine with the dryad in the ceremony, and was squeezed dry. Let alone, if the level is cleared and the Austrian fire is silent, it would be too tragic.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly as he imagined.

With a thought in Brian's mind, the dryad's tears in the magic circle slowly floated towards his palm.

The moment he touched the Dryad's Tears, the dim orb trembled, escaped from Brian's control, and slowly suspended in mid-air.

An emerald green light emerged in the night.

This radiance is so soft that it even makes people want to be silent in it.

And Brian also felt the natural breath that represented vitality emanating from it.

Bathed in this breath that was like the warm sunshine of early spring, he could clearly feel that the fatigue all over his body was disappearing without a trace at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, with abundant vitality covering the surroundings, all the withered vegetation in the temple also began to grow at an alarming speed, and the oak trees in the distance also swayed and sprouted green shoots.

In an instant, it turned into a place full of flowers and plants as Brian imagined.

This made him subconsciously look towards the tall oak tree behind him.

Suddenly, Brian saw a young girl whose hair was covered with green leaves and golden moss, stepping on the air, floating towards him gently amidst the laughter and laughter that filled the wind.
