Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The arrival of the Killing G.o.d was something that no one had expected. However, at this point, what could they do even if they hadn’t thought about it?
At the horizon, the mark of the Crimson Meteor was still standing in mid-air, didn’t completely dissipate. Everyone on the Qika star could feel it. However, unlike most people’s exclamations and surprises, only a very few people understood what was going on.
A great disaster was about to descend. And until now, there were still many people who were at a loss did not know what was going to happen.
“It’s His Highness the Crimson!”
In the corner of the Qika Star, Avril walked out of the base looking at the Crimson Meteor streaking across the sky, and a fanatical look appeared on her face. “That’s great! His Highness the Crimson has descended. No matter what else is on this star, it won’t be able to stop us from completely killing the remnants of the Golden King!” She spoke with a fanatical expression.
Behind her, a group of people from the Round Table was also standing there. Like Avril, they looked at the Crimson Meteor streaking across the sky, feeling the terrifying aura within that meteor. A fanatical expression could not help but appear on their faces too.
Ferrier was also hiding within the crowd. As he looked at the Crimson Meteor streaking across the sky, a faint worry could be seen in his eyes. The most frightening outcome had finally arrived.
The arrival of the Crimson Knight was not only something that the Qika Federation was afraid of. It was also something that Ferrier was the most worried about. Previously, if it were just Avril, Ferrier would still be able to hide under her hands and use her as a cover to make small movements.
However, now, the situation was slightly different. No one dared to make any small moves before the Crimson Knight. If Ferrier dared to do anything, the outcome would be extremely miserable, and this was undoubtedly a terrible outcome.
Until now, his preparations had not been completed. If the Crimson Knight attacked and found the imposter king, he might not be able to make a move and bring the imposter king out of this planet. Even though the imposter king was an imposter, it was a critical chess piece at this stage.
After all, if there was no imposter king attracting everyone’s attention before the stage, how could the true Golden King grow in peace? Therefore, at this stage, the imposter king could not die. Thinking of this, a hint of determination flashed in Ferrier’s eyes. But very quickly, he lowered his head, and a fanatical look appeared on his aged face. Like the others around him, it was as if he felt a wave of fanaticism towards the arrival of the Crimson Knight.
Meanwhile, in a small city in the distance, the moment when the Crimson Knight descended, Lu Yao suddenly raised her head and looked into the distance. A Crimson Meteor streaked past with an indescribable aura in her line of sight, looking extremely beautiful. However, the extremely beautiful meteor to an ordinary person was exceptionally different in her eyes.
Unknowingly, a faint golden color appeared in Lu Yao’s eyes. After sensing the aura of the Crimson Knight in the distance, the originally silent Golden Mark in Lu Yao’s body seemed to have a spontaneous reaction and began to recover on its own. A steady stream of power surged from within her body, making her notice some things. As a result, her vision was also different from the others around her.
In Lu Yao’s eyes, she could see that with the arrival of the Crimson Knight, a large net that ordinary people could not see was spreading out in all directions from the position of the Crimson Meteor, continuously spreading out to the outside world. The speed of its spread was breakneck, and it had no boundaries as if it wanted to shroud the entire Qika Star. This kind of performance was undoubtedly dangerous.
Sensing the change in the distance, Lu Yao subconsciously felt an exceptionally dangerous feeling and already had a premonition in her heart. If that layer of crimson net shrouded the entire Qika star, even the secret technique of the Golden King would not be able to conceal her, and she would be exposed. Based on the current situation, the outcome would be death if she was exposed. Not only would she have to die, but even her friends, relatives, and older brother would also all be implicated by her. They might very well have to face highly inhuman treatment.
Just thinking about all of this made Lu Yao’s body tremble. At this moment, she felt an inexplicable fear, and she subconsciously felt a little powerless.
“My King…” A voice came from the side.
Standing beside Lu Yao, Ye Zi looked at her, who looked pale and her body was slightly trembling, and a hint of worry appeared on her face. Then, she silently reached out and placed a hand on Lu Yao’s shoulder as if she was giving her encouragement. After a moment, Lu Yao’s body no longer trembled. This silent encouragement seemed to bring Lu Yao a brand new strength.
Looking at the scene outside the window sill, she took a deep breath and said softly, “Don’t worry. I’m fine.”
She looked at the outside world, staring at the crimson net that ordinary people couldn’t see, and could not help but mutter to herself and say softly, “But next, we have to think of a way to leave…”
Lu Yao had already decided to leave this planet, something she had thought of long before. It was just that humans were like this, always having a sense of fluke and inertia.
When the crisis had not reached their heads, or when it could be temporarily resolved, no one was willing to give up the comfort and ease in front of them and run to an unknown distance. The same applies to Lu Yao.
Therefore, even though she had long had similar thoughts, Lu Yao had never made up her mind in the past whether she wanted to leave this planet or not. It was only at this moment that the Crimson King indeed descended, and that terrifying power filled the entire sky, then did Lu Yao truly makes up her mind, wanting to leave this planet and head to a distant place.
It is the only way she could be safe, and only then could her friends and family be protected and not be affected by her. It was just that at this time, even if Lu Yao had already made up her mind, wanting to leave was still a challenging thing to do.
After all, excluding her ident.i.ty as the Golden King, the current Lu Yao was just an ordinary high school student. Wanting to board a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p to leave Qika planet was a challenging thing to do. The people of the Round Table controlled the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p that was about to leave Qika planet. In a short period, no one would be able to leave this planet without their permission, and the same would apply to Lu Yao.
Therefore, it was much more complex than she had imagined to leave this planet and take on the path to the galaxy. However, there wasn’t much she could do.
…
At a barren land, rocks were everywhere, and barren mountains were standing in all directions. It was a no man’s land, and it seemed like the surroundings had been affected by some terrifying power. Even after thousands of years, it hadn’t recovered completely. Not a single blade of gra.s.s grew, and there wasn’t much life left. An extraordinary power was circling within, cursing anyone who entered this place.
In the past, no one was willing to enter this place. But today, this place was vibrant. Outside the no man’s land, crowds of people were everywhere. Powerhouses from various forces have blocked this area, not allowing outsiders to enter, and there were also people guarding inside.
A Crimson Crystal sat in the center of this area, looking extremely beautiful. It was huge, and it looked like a red insect from the outside. There were many beautiful patterns on the surface of the crystal, with flames burning on it, which seemed to be very hot. Then, the crystal began to change shape.
A Crimson Door opened spontaneously then fell, forming a flight of stairs. A figure slowly walked down from the door. Smoke lingered and then dispersed.
A tall woman appeared, wearing a crimson mask and red armor, looking very mysterious. Her actions were meticulous, standard, and decisive, like a machine. However, even though she looked ordinary outside, her aura was appalling.
When she first landed, the entire planet seemed to have some reaction and began to wail spontaneously, as if it could not withstand the aura on her body. In the distance, the earth began to crack, and mountains were crumbling, as if a flash flood was about to erupt, causing a natural disaster.
The inexplicable force entrenching this no man’s land was suppressed and dissipated when the woman appeared. Not even a trace was left behind. The contrast between the powers was so disparate and terrifying.
“An unfamiliar place…” An inexplicable muttering sound drifted past her ears.
The woman looked at the scene in front of her in a trance. In the distance, mountains collapsed, and rivers flowed backward. Even the aura in the surroundings seemed to have changed a lot, as if it was directly reversed.
She didn’t do much, but her presence alone was enough to cause such a terrifying effect. This woman’s strength was evident. She stood and stared into the distance for a long time. A moment later, she suppressed her aura, restraining the initially spreading aura.
Along with this process, the surrounding natural disasters also subsided. The earthquake dissipated, the flash floods subsided, and the water flowing against the current returned normal. Everything returned to normal once again.
However, in a place that ordinary people could not see, a brand new power was seeping in, spreading to every corner of this planet invisibly, as if it was shrouding this planet.
It was a higher-level influence. However, the Crimson Knight’s power seemed to have calmed down and did not affect the people around them.
It was only then that the people around who had been waiting for a long time heaved a sigh of relief and slowly walked over.
“Your Highness!” Avril led the people from the Round Table to walk over. Her face revealed a fanatical expression, and she immediately knelt and said, “Welcome.”
“Okay.” The Crimson Knight nodded and looked behind after hearing the greetings of Avril and the others.
Avril and the others were only small leaders within the entire Round Table. They were nothing before the mighty Crimson Knight, who could wipe out countless existences like her with a single thought. But even so, Avril was still a top figure in the Round Table. Therefore, the mighty Crimson Knight still had some impression of her.
“Is Olly dead?” The Crimson Knight spoke softly as her gaze swept past Avril and the existences behind her.
“Yes.” Avril nodded respectfully then explained the entire process in detail.
The Crimson Knight already knew about similar information, just that there was still a gap between her general understanding and Avril’s description. Through Avril’s report, the Crimson Knight finally understood the situation.
‘The followers of the Golden King?’ The Crimson Knight muttered to herself and did not say anything else as she listened to Avril’s explanation.
Avril heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Judging from the appearance of the Crimson Knight, this hurdle should be over for her. Strictly speaking, she had not done anything wrong before this. She had even made some contributions. It was just that she had not completed the order given by the Five Knights to capture the Golden King. It was an indisputable fact.
No one would dare say a word even if the mighty Five Knights wanted to kill Avril directly. However, from the looks of it, it was fortunate that this did not happen. Thinking of this, Avril could not help but feel a little lucky. It was also lucky that it was not anyone else this time but the Crimson Knight. Otherwise, if it had been the other members of the Five Knights who were more ruthless, she would have been doomed this time.
“Hmm.” The Crimson Knight was not interested in the change in Avril’s mood.. She glanced at the people behind Avril and seemed to have discovered something.
