Volume 2: Empire Chapter 160 Nothing is Over

Augustine pulled the sword out of Fania's chest. Fania fell backwards, blood spurted up, and his body fell stiffly to the ground.

Fania originally thought that even if the coup failed, he would die gloriously, but he did not expect to end up like this.

This gamble that seemed to have a sure win seemed doomed to fail from the very beginning.

I am the clown performing hard on the stage.

Augustine shook off the blood on his sword, without looking at his dead son again, and laughed at Qingkong who was approaching: "You want to kill me? Here? Shenmian signed a contract with Augustine's ancestors, and he would always be equal and help each other with the emperor of the Golden Shield Empire.

No matter how strong you are, you are no match for Shenmian here.

Kneel down! Submit to me, and I can give you supreme glory and power! "

While Augustine stretched out his arms to show his broad mind, Shenmian packed up the surgical instruments and walked out the door with his servants.

Deep Sleep's unusual behavior made Augustine ask loudly, "Deep Sleep, where are you going?"

Shenmian passed by Qingkong and saluted her politely: "Hello, Your Majesty. When I was still a piece of crystal, I could often feel the breath of the World Tree, and its teachings have always had a profound impact on me. I used to be sad about the death of the World Tree, but now I am happy about its revival.

I have fulfilled my promise to His Majesty Augustine. As a heroic spirit, I naturally no longer enjoy the contract signed by my Augustine ancestor. In fact, it has been so long that the contract has long lost its binding force.

I'll lend this place to you temporarily, please remember to clean it up before you leave."

Qingkong responded: "Since the contract is no longer binding, you don't have to stay here all the time. The Moonlight Tree King and I are looking forward to your visit."

"When I have time, I will go..."

After saying this, Shenmian and his servants left without looking back, and did not stop even though Augustine called out to them from behind.

The door of the hall closed, and the scene inside the hall changed. The white holy atmosphere faded away, and finally turned into a crystal palace.

Augustine took a fighting stance, holding his shield in front of him and gathering strength with his sword. The white light enveloped him completely and gathered into illusory wings behind him.

"Agatha, are you going to usurp the throne too?"

Facing her father's question, Agatha took a step forward and said, "Father, Fania is right about one thing. The Empire will not accept a heroic spirit as the Emperor of the Empire, and the Empire will also be rejected by a world dominated by humans."

“All those who oppose me will be put to death by me, and all nations that oppose me will be conquered by me.

Agatha, you know my abilities, ambitions, and indomitable will. If my aging body had not limited me, the Empire would have been even more powerful. My transformation into a Heroic Spirit is only to correct a mistake. The Empire is lucky to have me, who is immortal.

You should be congratulating me!"

Agatha shook her head and said, "Father, your obsession with power has made you lost. Even your son and daughter are against you. How can the ministers and nobles support you?

I am glad that you are alive as a heroic spirit! As long as you give up your power, you are still our father. "

Agatha's persuasion did not make Augustine repent at all. He angrily shouted: "Give up power and give you the throne? Stupid! You are as stupid as Fania!

If I pass the throne to you, the empire will be stolen by a falling star. You are no match for him, he has you all in a trance."

Luke, who was originally watching the show with the mentality of watching a melodrama, did not expect that he would be dragged into this father-daughter conspiracy.

He immediately defended himself: "Your Majesty...you have greatly misunderstood me, I have no intention of stealing the country.

And Agatha has no interest in your throne. If everything goes well, your throne will eventually be inherited by your Queen Christina Augustine."

Luke's words shocked Augustine greatly. Although his expression could not be seen through the hollow armor, his body movements showed that this was beyond his expectations.

It's a bit murderous.

"Queen? Ridiculous! I don't know what conspiracy you are planning, but you will never succeed this time!

Anyone who opposes me will die here, no matter who he or she is.

Knight Milscombe, come to me, and let us join hands to execute these traitors!"

Hearing Augustine's call, Knight Milscombe did not move.

This time he stood firmly behind Queen Christina and said to Augustine: "Your Majesty, I have always advised you that the fear of death and the pursuit of immortality are consuming your majesty and the awe of your subjects, but you...

I hope you can listen to Her Royal Highness the Princess’s advice this time, or you can step back…”

"That's enough, Milscombe. I didn't expect you to betray me. Do you think you won?

I am now a heroic spirit, and I have obtained the power given to me by the Sky Castle.

Qingkong, it is rumored that you are very powerful. This time I want to see if you are really as strong as the rumors say.

The sword of oath is with me!"

Illusory wings of light stretched out behind Augustine, and enveloped in the holy light, the angel illusion that had just appeared appeared again.

A. Ulysses Sword of Oath, as the guiding angel for Augustine's transformation into a heroic spirit, heard his call and brought his power and strength here.

"The sword of oath is with you! I will punish these sinners who blasphemed your imperial power with you!"

A huge bell-like voice echoed in the hall, and an imposing manner like a mountain pressing down from the sky.

The armor on Augustine's body emitted dazzling light, and the overflowing energy was released outward in circles like pulses.

Qingkong said to the people beside him: "You all step back and protect yourselves."

Luke, Christina, and Agatha were pushed back by the air pressure. The Boiling Girls Squad and the Milscom Knights deployed a shield to protect them in a corner.

Qingkong stretched out her right arm, holy light radiated outward, and a machete appeared in her hand.

The Sword of Oath was Augustine's guiding angel, which was somewhat beyond Qingkong's expectations.

As the most powerful angel in Sky City, Sword of Oath is the top-level existence in the entire Era World. The Holy Inquisition he leads is a legacy of ancient wars, and all of them are composed of stubborn and warlike angels.

I don’t know what conditions Augustine agreed to from Sky City in order to get a set of Heroic Armor. Now it seems that it is not just what Queen Christina knows.

But no matter what, the fight must be fought.

After all, the Sword of Oath did not come in person, and the granting of some authority and power would not greatly improve Augustine's strength.

It is estimated that his current strength can reach five and a half stars, and at most can reach the threshold of six stars.

It's a pseudo six star.

Qingkong first pushed his own level down to level 100, the heart of the elemental fusion reactor overclocked, and the surging energy burst out and was all transformed into the sacred energy of angels.

Qingkong's right arm was even brighter, with layers of white armor first attached to her arm and then spreading to her body. Half of the angel armor was finished, her eyes turned into ice crystals, and the air flow made her clothes and hair fly.

"It seems that you didn't tell the Sword of Oath that I can use holy energy."

At this time, Augustine, who had become a heroic spirit, and the clear sky, which had stimulated divine energy, were like two high-powered light bulbs emitting dazzling brilliance. In this crystal palace, they competed to see who was the brighter one.

Augustine was not in a hurry to attack. The reputation of the Elf Clear Sky made him take a defensive stance first.

Facing Qingkong's provocative words, Augustine replied: "I don't know why your right arm can use divine energy , but behind me stands the most powerful angel sword of oath.

If you use other powers, you might have a chance of winning. But you chose divine energy, which is beyond your capabilities."

Qingkong said regretfully: "It's a pity that the Sword of Oath is not here, otherwise he would not have made such a serious mistake. Do you know why the heroic creatures are vassals of the angels?"

"I don't understand what you mean by that?"

Qingkong felt the energy in his body rising, and answered Augustine's question at the same time: "Heroic spirits are extraordinary creatures of instruments created by angels, and as masters, they naturally have the power of life and death over instruments.

Augustine, this is another reason why a heroic creature is unfit to be an emperor. How can a tool whose life is in the hands of others be the emperor of an empire? "

When the divine energy in his body reached the critical point, Qingkong pushed his level to 120.

A pair of real angel wings spread out on her back, and the half armor turned into a full body armor.

Time slowed down extremely at this moment, making light appear like flowing water.

The figure of the clear sky disappeared in the light and shadow of time.

"Deep Sleep, can your crystal palace withstand my attack?"

Shenmian, who had been watching the battle secretly, spoke up at this moment: "It should be possible. Your Majesty, I am surprised by the power you possess. I wonder if I can block your attack if it is aimed at me."

"You... can't stop it! You can only fight it!"

Time resumed at this moment, and Qingkong appeared in front of Augustine. She slashed a knife in mid-air, and the blade, under the gathering of divine energy, turned extremely white, revealing a texture like ceramic.

Augustine was under the pressure of the time reversal, his body swayed as if a frame was stuck, and his shield moved with difficulty.

Qingkong's sword was not fancy at all, it went straight towards the shield in Augustine's hand.

The blade made no sound when it hit the shield.

Qingkong placed all of his divine energy on the blade, and then infused it into Augustine's heroic spirit weapon.

After Augustine's Heroic Spirit Armor received the sacred energy from the Sword of Oath, how could it withstand the even greater sacred energy that the Level 120 Clear Sky was pouring into it?

The Heroic Spirit Armament's overload exceeded its limit, and the armor's structure collapsed from the inside.

After the ancient rock machete hit the shield, it cut through it as easily as cutting oil.

Put away the knife and release the high load state.

Then bring the level back to level 60.

The shield in Augustine's hand broke into two pieces and shattered into countless pieces like glass after falling to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Behind him, the phantom of the Sword of Oath, which carried with it supreme pressure, disappeared like smoke blown away by the wind.

Just leave one sentence.

"I look forward to meeting you, Your Majesty!"

Another crisp sound was heard, and the sword in Augustine's hand fell to the ground and shattered like glass.

"This is not the ending I imagined." Augustine's voice lost its momentum, and one could feel that his life was rapidly draining away without the support of the Heroic Spirit Armor.

"Everything in the world must eventually come to an end."

"I didn't expect you to be so strong. You're so strong that I can't even take a single blow from you."

"The last one that made me use my full strength was a red dragon. If I hadn't restrained your weakness, I would have needed a few more seconds."

"Will you always protect my country?"

“No, I just do what I want to do.”

"you……"

"You don't have much time left, so save it for someone who really needs it."

After saying that, Qingkong turned and left.

Luke said to Agatha, "Her Royal Highness the Queen and I are waiting outside...When you are done here, call me in."

Agatha looked at the still standing Heroic Arms, as well as the bodies of Augustine and Fania, and nodded sadly.

Luke and Queen Christina led everyone out of the hall, and the clear sky outside had disappeared.

There was no joy of victory on anyone's face.

This is a tragedy, a tragedy for the Augustine family.

In the Crystal Palace, Agatha walked up to Augustine and whispered, "Father..."

"Qingkong is right. I don't have much time left. I'd better say something useful." The approach of death made Augustine seem to see through everything in an instant. He stretched out his hand to touch his daughter's cheek, but his arm was broken in the middle: "In fact, I should have passed the throne to you a long time ago. You are much better than Fania and Alex, and better than the confused me.

But I…all my excuses are just excuses. I just can’t let go of power. The thought of losing it scares me from the bottom of my heart.”

"Father, I have never coveted the throne."

“It doesn’t matter if there is none. If it weren’t for the throne, Fania wouldn’t want to kill me, and I wouldn’t kill him.

Without the desire for power to blind your eyes, you will be able to see farther and more clearly, but... you are still a member of the Augustine family, shouldering the mission passed down by your ancestors."

“I always keep that in mind.”

"Then complete the last order I give you: kill the meteorite!"

"Father, Meteorite..."

"Or marry him."

"Father!"

The Heroic Spirit Armor shattered and collapsed in front of Agatha.

She stood blankly in the middle of the hall.

Four angel sculptures surround the empty white jade exhibition stand.

Three warriors wearing bear armor are sealed inside the three crystal pillars.

The body of Augustine the Great lay curled up beside his tilted chair.

Fania was lying on his back on the ground, with a sword-pierced hole in his chest and a large pool of blood.

Agatha turned around and saw the Crystal Man Deep Sleep standing not far from her, motionless and silent.
