novelThe Collapse Of An Old Kingdom
| ← Ch.621 | Ch.623 → |
Frigga had no chance of winning from the very beginning.
In order to limit Watson's fusion ability, Frigga had painstakingly used the Primordial Demoness' power to break away from the human body and become an evil god at the starlight tier, and also set Antonio and Reid up and trapped them in the Elven Kingdom, which forced Watson to be unable to make a move.
Indeed, he was restricted to the point of being unable to make a move. However, there was no need for him to make a move. Baby Jeanne was enough to defeat Frigga.
Frigga boasted that the human heart was her most powerful weapon. However, she had never truly seen through the human heart. She thought that fear was the best way to manipulate the human body. It was true that people could be manipulated by fear. However, when humans were faced with an irresistible fear, they would display the will to fight instead.
Human history was the history of courage, and the hymn of humanity was the hymn of courage.
Watson was not the one who defeated Frigga. Instead, it was everyone in the Holy Dragon Kingdom who was dissatisfied with her. The king was famous for being good at playing with people's hearts, and he had lost to the people in the end. It was a kind of irony.
"Frigga, you lost."
Watson stood in the air with his hands behind his back. Frigga, who Jeanne had attacked, had the power in her body expand at an infinite speed. The hot flame burned the skin on the surface of her body, exposing her white bones and making it look painful.
During that process, Watson did not even lift a finger.
The meaning of the human race was something he had gradually understood recently. When the world was created, there was a reason for different races to be divided into chess pieces. Each king had the mission of making the race flourish. What about the races that had been exterminated in ancient times? There was no sign of them.
A single individual could not be called a race. If life wanted to continue, it had to become a community. It was even more so for humans who used molecular acceleration as their originating power. If one person could not defeat the enemy, then there would be ten thousand or a million people to do that. Even though an individual's will was small, it could become a torrent when gathered. That power was enough to open a new world.
"I did not lose. How could I lose?"
Frigga's delicate face became distorted. Her red hair fluttered beside her ears and turned into a long, twisted snake, hissing. Surging emotions spread from her body. Those long snakes seemed to be struggling to escape from her body, but they could not.
The golden light burning on her body was now hotter than the flames of the sun, burning the space clean. Black cracks appeared in the air. No matter if she used the giant form that symbolized anger or the invisible hand of the lazy series, she could not get rid of the burning light.
The human race chess piece above Jeanne's head spun rapidly, vaguely forming the shape of a crown. A golden cloak appeared behind her, making her look like a holy son.
"Seven divine kingdoms, descend!"
Frigga howled in pain. Her eyes turned red. The long red snakes dancing around her were in different colors. Seven huge divine kingdoms descended from the sky and appeared beside her.
Each of those kingdoms had different forms. Some of them were shining gears that were embedded together. Some of them were large ships surrounded by erotic storms and lightning. Some of them were covered in shadows. The divine kingdom filled with all kinds of potions descended on the sky above the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Each kingdom was no smaller than Mount Creation. If they landed, Mount Creation would probably collapse under the pressure.
At that moment, Frigga felt like her life was in danger. She did not hold back and used all the power of the gods she had. Some of her long snake-like hair spat out glowing arrows. She accelerated the transfer of energy from the molecules released by Jeanne. She even used the power of the earth goddess to try to offset the molecular acceleration. In addition, she had the protection of the seven gods, so her defense was impregnable.
However, that seemingly indestructible defense was useless in front of Jeanne. Frigga's seven divine kingdoms and molecular acceleration collided, and at first, she could still withstand it. Soon, the surface of the seven divine kingdoms was melted by the molecular acceleration energy, leaving a few holes.
Divine kingdoms were the power of starlight-tier elites, and molecular acceleration was part of the source's rule. The two were not on the same level. At first, it was just a melted divine kingdom, but soon, its main body was also dissolved by the molecular acceleration, and it became a light that was constantly expanding.
The molecular acceleration could cause the power to grow indefinitely.
Therefore, that power was everywhere and unstoppable.
The huge divine kingdom collapsed in the air and exploded into brilliant fireworks. That scene was not only seen by the people at the border but also by the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom.
On a mountain not far from the border, a hunter looked up at the sky with his child.
The child curiously pointed at the illusionary divine kingdom in the sky and asked the man beside him, "Father, what is that in the sky? Is it the mirage you told me about?"
"Child, it's not a mirage. It's real." The man stared at the sky; his dark eyes lit up by the light. It was like the divine mountain that they were on then was real.
The mountain was tens of thousands of meters high. It appeared out of thin air when the two of them went up the mountain to hunt. The height made it difficult for them to go down the mountain. However, they did not need to go down either because an incomparably huge World Tree was above their heads. Its canopy covered all directions, and the gurgling water of the Spring of Life gathered into a waterfall that poured down the mountain. The World Tree also had countless red and white fruits. They were like red and silver-white gems.
They could eat the sun and moon fruits when they were hungry, drink the water of the Spring of Life when they were thirsty, and rest under the shade of the tree when they were tired. In such an environment, they would rather not descend the mountain.
"Does it really exist?" The little boy placed his finger in his mouth and tilted his head in confusion as if he did not understand why there was such a colossal kingdom floating in the sky.
"You will understand in the future. That power is called the divine kingdom, and it is an ability that only a starlight-tier elite can master! I also heard about it from your brother. Your brother is the most famous genius in our village. Not long ago, His Majesty held the Royal Academy competition in the capital and recruited geniuses from the kingdom. He was lucky enough to be accepted by the academy, so I followed him to watch the competition. At that time, every genius from the kingdom from the first few rankings could use that power."
"I see. Since that power is so powerful, why did it collapse?"
The man did not know how to explain it. He was only a bronze-tier warrior, so he did not know anything about the starlight tier. He could only describe it to the child according to his own understanding.
"There are different kingdoms in the world. No matter how powerful a kingdom is, it will be destroyed in the end. The Holy Dragon Kingdom that we are in was established more than 400 years ago, and before that, we didn't know which kingdom this land belonged to! The gods are very powerful. They are beyond our reach. However, they will still die, and the kingdom will return to dust. Just like now, an old kingdom will collapse, and a new kingdom will rise, just like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. That is the principle of eternity."
