mechanical court

Elu Romei stood in front of the glazed window, staring out in a daze, she was the only one left in the huge conference hall.The sky was as gloomy as night, the heavy rain was still crashing against the ground, all the lights in the space were on, and the pale candle light shone on her back.

On the desk, in the ivory white cup is tea with a light golden halo, and in the lace butterfly next to it are a few delicious melons and fruits.

"Great Visil."

At this time, a crisp voice interrupted her thoughts.

"what's up?"

Her eyes moved slightly, she turned around, and looked at the oncoming red-haired girl behind her.

"The latest news, His Majesty is likely to be in the hands of Ozymandis."

"Is that so... that old fox again..."

Elulomei held up the cup and sipped the tea in it. Her eyes were lowered, as if shrouded in shadows. They were no longer pure silver-gray, but like the undulating sea under the wind and rain, deep and cold. .

"I'm sorry..." Seeing that she was silent, Renee lowered her head and showed a shy expression.

"I don't blame you for this matter. I was negligent. I didn't expect that old fox to sacrifice half of the crusader for a puppet king... It's really courageous."

The 'Regent' gently put down his cup, and glanced at his adjutant:

"He is planning to use my method to deal with me. He must have made a big move in the near future, so be prepared to be vigilant. As long as these magic sticks surface, uproot them!"

"As ordered."

Leader Renee took the lead, raised his head silently, and asked hesitantly:

"Then... what should His Majesty do?"

"He's doing a great job."

Ellome looked at her with calm eyes and a smile on her lips:

"I didn't expect that a randomly selected chess piece could bring unexpected gains. It's really an unexpected surprise... It looks good too. If it's not the Sun King, I can raise one for fun."

"You mean...kill him?"

The female adjutant gasped for breath, her expression turned pale, she looked at the other party hesitantly, but finally she pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

"Whether it's me, the intruder, or that old fox, no one wants to see a Sun King with real power appear in Menis—this will determine his fate."

Grand Visil walked lightly to the window, leaning his fragrant shoulders against the glazed wall, and looked at Yiwen's bedroom. The light in his silver-gray eyes seemed to be able to pass through everything and go to an infinitely distant place.

Chapter 9 The Codex of Hades

Location, unknown temple.

In the center of the temple hangs a lamp carved with black crystal, which is so exquisite that it is almost luxurious. The dark and inexplicable streamer in the crystal is faintly visible, radiating reassuring energy fluctuations outward.The decorative style of the dome comes from the religious thought of the Atum Order. From top to bottom, there are celestial bodies and stars, the solar ark, the ship of ten thousand years, and the nine-pillar god headed by the sun god. The bottom layer is 770 seven columns, symbolizing Heroic spirits who fight against the void serpent ascended to the constellation.

The four walls are painted with chaotic images, symbolizing the nature of the nether void - dark, deep, invisible, boundless.

The space in the hall is very spacious, and there is only one altar in the room.

The structure of the altar is very simple. It is a white well made of gravel. The curved outer wall exudes holy white light, and it is quietly located in the center of the hall.The altar is filled with lustrous scarlet spar blocks, these spar facets are bright red and magnificent, and the fine needle mist inside forms starlight, which looks radiant.

"..."

Ivan closed his eyes, half of his body was soaked in the stone altar, his limbs and bones seemed to be extremely refreshed, his whole body was relaxed, and delicate golden lines could be vaguely seen under the skin, like golden blood flowing in the blood vessels.

As his chest rose and fell, golden lines of light leaked out of his skin, flowing clearly and completely on the surface of his body.Through the joints all over the body, from the feet to the waist, from the waist to the shoulders, from the shoulders to the head, and finally converge on one spine and then divert the flow, so that the cycle repeats endlessly.

At this moment, under the rendering of the overall layout of the temple, Ivan entered a state of absolute pure self-awareness. The senses of touch, hearing, sight, taste, and smell all disappeared, and all feelings and thoughts shrank into his body.The thoughts in the mind, the thoughts in the heart, also infinitely contracted into a point like aura.

"Huh...huh..."

Yiwen's eyes opened and closed slightly, and the surroundings illuminated by the pupil light flickered, and there were traces of liquid golden light slowly gathering around him, and these golden lights danced and swirled around him like golden threads.As the light radiated from the surface of his body became more and more intense, strands of translucent golden flames burned throughout the stone altar.

Sigh——————!

The flames became more and more intense, and snake-like electric light began to linger on Ivan's body, and the blood vessel-like metal pit lines on his body became more and more clear. The flowing golden light slowly gathered in the hollow of his chest, becoming more and more solid, and soon Soon, a constantly burning golden rhombic spar was formed.

"Flame Pronucleus!"

With a loud shout, Yiwen levitated up against gravity, and the golden engravings all over his body soared, and the light in the dim temple shone brightly.

"..."

With his eyes closed, he suddenly raised his right arm, turned his palm over and pressed downward, causing a wave of air to flow downward in the entire space.With this press, the invisible force urges the airflow to squeeze in all directions, rolls upwards along the four walls, and finally rolls towards the dome, shaking the crystal lighting to the point of collapse.

"This is the second stage of the Sun's scripture... the flame pronucleus?"

Ivan slowly opened his eyes, feeling a warm tingling sensation all over his body, as if bathing in the sun at noon, or soaking in warm and comfortable spring water.

The complete Sun Sutra is divided into five stages from the beginning to the end, and each stage is named after the different levels of the living body. These five stages are:

Prototype - Void Engine (Light)

Growth body - flame pronucleus (light)

Mature body - star core resonance (light)

The Perfect Body——The Light That Never Falls (Light)

Ultimate Body - Turning God Sun Wheel (Light)

Each level of advancement is equivalent to completing a reborn improvement. Not only will the strength increase, but even the life span and body structure will undergo earth-shaking changes.

In the history that Ivan knew, there were only a handful of Sun Kings who condensed the unfading light. Their bodies could isolate all energy and matter, and no external force could harm them.The Sun King who has evolved to the ultimate body does not exist at all. In the guesses of the kings, this stage is equivalent to the sun god Atum himself, possessing all kinds of incredible powers.But what specific abilities it has, because it has never appeared, it is unknown.

"Seven years... lingered in the first stage for seven years... finally advanced to the second stage."

He slowly dissipated the lingering flames, returned to his original shape and fell back to the altar, looking at his hands with great emotion, feeling the urge to laugh out loud.But when he thought of his current situation, the joy disappeared in an instant, and his mood became gloomy again.

"It's a pity that I came from a collateral lineage, and the inheritance I have mastered is incomplete, only the first three stages... The Sun Scripture is in the hands of that bitch Elleme again..." Yiwen looked at his hands with a solemn expression, lost in thought.

Elulome once taught him some core knowledge of the Sun’s Scripture, but the time in one night is limited after all, it’s just to fill in the incomplete part of the first half. If you continue to study, you will face nowhere to go when you reach the third stage of cultivation. Dilemma.In order to become stronger as soon as possible, he should immediately start to practice the holy scriptures of the underworld, because the inheritance of this power is complete, and the achievements are not inferior to the Sun scriptures.

"The old fox said that the scriptures of the underworld can be practiced together with the Sun Sutra... I don't know if it's true or not..." He thought of this, and began to recall the inheritance he had received.

The Hades scripture is also divided into five stages like the Sun Scripture, the first three stages are basically similar, but the last two stages are completely different, and there is no complementarity with the Sun Scripture.

The five stages of the Codex of Hades are divided into:

Prototype - Void Engine (Dark)
