Chapter 652 Azure King Returns_2
Just quietly watching Him.
The Scroll Keeper dipped his fingertip in blood, writing on the parchment—
"The Fifth Era, Solar Calendar year 4428, mid-June. The Sub-God of Mud, Scroll Keeper Leonid, plans to attack the Immortal Realm, to seize the Azure King's authority... The Ancient God Emerald Bird falls, the Lady of Laughter falls, the Chiliarch falls, the Snow Gentleman falls, the Feast Pine falls... Leonid falls!"
His finger stopped, and He chuckled inexplicably.
"Greed is indeed the original sin of the Earth. It seems you did have more foresight than I, Seth."
"You understood too late, Leonid."
The former Seth Mitchell just shook his head.
The Scroll Keeper knew he was doomed, smiled, and asked back:
"Then what about Destiny? The sadness-laden Destiny, leading the Sixth Era, what should the world become... Should everything end in tragedy?"
"You are wrong."
Seth said lightly.
"Sadness is reserved for Destiny itself... What the world receives is laughter, joy, beauty."
The Scroll Keeper was taken aback.
All the angels shifted their gaze, looking at the tall figure clad in azure behind the Scroll Keeper.
To bear sadness oneself and offer joy to the world?
This...
Is this the mission borne by the King in Azure...
"Ha ha, is this also a tenet left by the Ring Duke? Seth."
Leonid's hoarse voice laughed.
But Seth's expression turned serious, speaking solemnly:
"No, He never said such words, but He conveyed this truth to the world, to history, to me as a witness through His actions... Were it not for the Ring Duke, this world would cease to exist. You may not believe it, laugh or even scorn it, but... This is Destiny."
The Scroll Keeper's smile gradually disappeared, and he was silent for a moment.
"I'm sorry, I cannot understand..."
Crystallization began to spread from His chest to other parts, gradually climbing up His neck and cheeks.
Finally, Leonid whispered:
"But I will respect you as the Sub-God of the Earth, the pioneer of a new era, the Creator of new history, Azure King."
His movements became gradually stiff, his eyes ultimately falling upon Seth.
"I loathe you, Seth, but I also envy you, for witnessing a brand-new history..."
Having said this, the Scroll Keeper completely transformed into a cold crystalline statue.
Seth Mitchell sighed and stepped forward, bending down to pick up the parchment on the ground, glancing at it, then asking the figure in azure:
"Azure King, may I keep this parchment?"
Chen Lun was slightly surprised.
Seth's attitude towards him was very respectful, speaking in a tone of equal communication.
"Of course, feel free."
Chen Lun nodded.
Seeing this, Seth solemnly placed it into his bosom.
Chen Lun surveyed the surroundings, then raised his hand and spread his five fingers.
Originating from the Lady of Laughter, the Chiliarch, the Snow Gentleman, the Feast Pine, and the Scroll Keeper, a total of nine multi-colored divine lights fell into his palm.
Excluding the two Unique Divinities of the Earth from the Scroll Keeper, the remaining seven were similar to the Emerald Bird's "Misfortune" authority, belonging to external Unique Divinities.
He planned to use these as rewards for the angels present, since the Immortal Realm was preserved thanks largely to them.
However, these angels showed no interest.
"We cannot absorb or assimilate external Unique Divinities; holding onto them serves no purpose... You keep them. Based on my understanding of 'No Return Land,' they might have unexpected uses."
Oscar smiled.
Chen Lun, seeing their lack of interest, did not insist and put these Unique Divinities away.
But he took out the two Unique Divinities from the Scroll Keeper and handed them to Seth, who was surprised.
"Azure King?"
Chen Lun just smiled gently, saying airily:
"I will kill Montgomery."
Seth was stunned.
He clearly understood the underlying message.
The Azure King had inherited the Ring Duke's will and was determined to achieve the great ambition of slaying the Seven Gods... And these two Unique Divinities were His goodwill towards Himself.
He wanted Himself to become the great Earth God of the future!
Even though Seth never harbored ambitions of becoming a god, only wishing to stay in Saint Aye's Town for a quiet life... Destiny is peculiar in this way; once He chose to trust the Azure King and assisted in the battle against the Sun King, the course of events was already altered.
Recalling Leonid's words before his death,
Seth couldn't help but ponder deeply.
Perhaps, staying in the Immortal Realm to become the deity worshipped by the Dawn Church and witnessing the Azure King's creation of a new era wouldn't be a bad thing at all.
"Thank you."
Seth, rarely, expressed gratitude.
He accepted the two Unique Divinities, placing his hand on his chest as a salute to the Azure King.
["Xike" Seth Mitchell's Affection towards you has increased!]
[Currently at Respect!]
Chen Lun saw this and smiled.
He didn't rush to reminisce with the angels, instead turning his head to the side, looking at Hat Boy and the Mimicking Earl, who were sitting weakly on the ground.
These two Ancient Gods were at the bottom of the Worldly Secret Cult, captured by the Azure King, unable to restrain the ravaging crystallization within, and had to endure fear as they witnessed the entire "Heavenly Fields War."
Their inner despair gradually spread, reaching its peak after the Scroll Keeper Leonid's death...
When all the angels turned their gaze, with the Azure King gripping the Cross Sword and walking towards them, the two were terrified.
But Oscar smiled and suggested:
"Jack, the interesting thing about these two guys' authorities might allow them to serve you."
"Hmm?"
Chen Lun's sword stopped before the Mimicking Earl, a hair's breadth away... The tip of the ostentatious hat on the opponent's head was slashed open, looking extremely comical.
"Serve, serve!"
The Mimicking Earl hurriedly repeated.
Chen Lun squinted, mist flashing in his eyes, reflecting the figures of Hat Boy and the Mimicking Earl.
"'Storage' authority and 'Imitation' authority..."
He instantly saw through their powers, silently thinking it interesting.
"How about staying under the White Throne henceforth?"
Chen Lun looked down at the two, asking indifferently.
"'God of Rich Fruits' Ronan salutes you, great King in Azure."
Hat Boy, being quite discerning, immediately knelt.
Though his stature was so short that only the large pointed hat was visible on the ground, the voice came from within.
"'God of Mirrors' Douglas salutes you, great King in Azure."
The Mimicking Earl followed suit, kneeling in submission.
Chen Lun was yet reassured, immediately using his finger to draft the highest-grade contract in the air, crystallization crawling over his fingertip as it grew visibly into a interconnected document, floating in the air.
The terms on the contract were quite harsh, even worse than worldly slave contracts, but Hat Boy and the Mimicking Earl were indifferent, just surviving was enough... As eternal beings, they didn't wish to perish here.
As the two signed their names on the contract,
a distinct clink of clinking glasses echoed from afar.
Clink!
And with it, a familiar, elegant chuckle came:
"I witness."
It was Conrad, who had become the Conspiracy True God.
However, this time, everyone clearly heard, after saying "I witness," Conrad let out a noticeable "Hmm" and then burst into hearty laughter.
"Have some drinks when you have the chance, my friend."
