Chapter 1219
At that moment, all eyes were focused on the figure slowly descending from the Babylon Sky Tower.
That was the strongest legend of the divine era.
It was a king whose brilliance could not be extinguished, even if buried in the shadows of history by humans.
The only one recognized by the dragon race, holder of the continental crown.
Once upon a time, all the kings from the divine era had dreams of becoming the recognized ruler of a unique continent.
He didn"t claim the t.i.tle of king, no king dared to call themselves the ruler of the continent. Even the powerful red-robed mages only formed a council and never declared themselves the king of the continent.
Because the symbol of the absolute ruler, the continental crown, has always been kept in the Underground Cemetery. It is the only fantasy manifestation in this world that gives the concept of continent rulership, proof of the crown"s status.
At this moment, that crown is placed on top of that figure"s head, releasing the long-awaited aura of a king.
The King of Undead.
The ruler of countless immortal armies, the strongest king ever recorded in the history of the continent.
Warlock?
Mage?
Golden Human?
Heavenly beings?
His ident.i.ty has many mysterious aspects, but with the resurrection of the Underground Cemetery, the great achievements he accomplished are once again known to mankind.
Defeated the immortal king of the dragon race.
The eternal and immortal ruler of Netherworld"s magic.
Countless years have pa.s.sed, even the dragon race has disappeared during the era of declining magical tides, but this most powerful immortal king is born again from the Underground Cemetery.
The Tower of Babel in Babylon rises from the ground, proudly standing in the center of the mountains, as if going to pierce the steel sky of this world.
This is the birthplace of humanity, the center of the continent, and the cradle of all civilizations in Sia"s world.
Even Ludwig XII, the ruler of the Leviathan Empire, the strongest military power on the continent, couldn"t help but tremble when he saw that dark figure.
It was the instinctual fear and tremor in the face of an immortal king whose power far exceeded imagination.
"This is the mysterious side... the strongest..." Imperial Sage Poincaré took a deep breath.
Impossible to win, even if all the t.i.tled machines of the Empire are still there, and attack together, they are no match for this dark figure.
The staircase formed by condensed white bones symbolizes the mysterious power at the highest point of this world, carrying the unique aura of the Underworld, surpa.s.sing the limits of life and death.
Without witnessing this power firsthand, one cannot understand the greatness of The King of Undead.
Only such a strong individual can make the dragon clan, which once ruled the continent from the top of the world pyramid, relinquish its dominance.
Undead liches wearing red robes floated in the air, automatically arranging themselves below the bone staircase.
Stretching their long-decayed hands, the spells from the Netherworld echoed in the air.
"Heading towards the realm of the Underworld..."
"b.u.t.terflies of the Underworld dance..."
"Welcome... the arrival of our king..."
The ground shook violently as a brand new bone altar emerged from the ground, casting shadows from another world. The bones that formed the altar belonged to humans, giants, and even the towering dragon race.
The throne, constructed from bones, stood empty, waiting for its rightful owner to arrive.
"Ah... it"s really ugly..." El’phyllis, walking up the stairs, couldn"t help but criticize the horribly bad aesthetic of the throne. Why couldn"t they have a fairy-style altar adorned with flowers and jewels?
Even though the Underground Cemetery had these resources, why did they have to use this bone altar that was so bone-chilling to look at?
"This was already arranged... Great King..." Kingdom"s Shield furrowed his brows as well, but this was the arrangement made by the late King of Undead.
El’phyllis wanted to arrange things the way she wanted, with gemstones and flowers. A dreamy fairy-style altar could also be done, but now every resource in the Underground Cemetery was being used for survival. On top of that, this bone altar cost the late King of Undead a great deal of effort. It would be a waste not to use it.
"The previous generation... really had a fondness for theme of death..." El’phyllis found the late King of Undead"s hobbies to be quite niche.
As an Endless G.o.d"s Domain and a top architect and designer, Ten Leaves Alliance"s elite was capable of independently completing a miracle-level structure like the Babylon Sky Tower. Yet, their personal preference was so horrifying.
He started building his own grave while he was still alive. This obsession is beyond help.
Even though he is alive, he pretends to be dead all day. This cursed armor called The King of Undead cannot be taken off without a special command. What has this architect encountered in this world?
"One must have great respect for death in order to control it." Compared to El’phyllis, Kingdom"s Shield, the highest military leader of the Underground Cemetery, knew the personality of the previous King of Undead better.
He was a perfect scholar, a polite and righteous gentleman, especially focused on the study of magic.
If it weren"t for the war between humans and the dragon clan over the control of the continent, he could have spent his whole life in his underground laboratory.
For the military attack plan against the dragon clan, the black iron giant was sent to charge head-on, while the Emerald Sea Dragon Beast hara.s.sed and attacked the enemy"s logistical supply lines in the rear sea area. The Opera House Phantom used their unique abilities to expand the undead army and crush the morale of the dragon clan.
All these plans came from the hands of Kingdom"s Shield.
Only she, who could control the Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon and fly tens of thousands of meters high, could lay out such a precise strategy on the entire continent. She acc.u.mulated decisive advantages from small victories and ultimately defeated the powerful Leviathan faction.
In the end, the dragon clan didn"t know where they lost.
Of course, all of this was built upon the previous King of Undead"s use of the power of death. It was his creation of the four Guardians of the Underground Cemetery that made it possible for the human race to turn the tables.
Without the King of Undead"s technology and power, even with Kingdom"s Shield"s strategies and plans, they would be meaningless.
The dragon race has always ruled the world with absolute power at the top of this world"s pyramid, rather than strategies and plans.
So-called tactics can only compensate for disadvantages, but cannot overcome absolute advantages.
The emergence of four ancient weapons that transcend time is the most important factor in humans pushing back the dragon race, and among them, the power of the Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon and the Opera House Phantom is the most vital.
The Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon, soaring tens of thousands of meters above, can observe all the military arrangements on the entire continent.
The Opera House Phantom, causing our own army to increase in number with each battle, sets the tone for the entire war.
"This moment... this world has been waiting for a long time."
"Our king... step onto the stage..."
