The edge of the volcanic forest.

Akmanmon looked at the dense jungle and the ancient volcano that was invisible but existed in the distance.

From this angle, all that can be seen is the dark red cloud layer that looks like a fire at the end of the sky.

Forbidden place of death - lava volcano.

When Akmanmon passed by Meiya City, he saw many people shouting the name of the **** represented by this volcano.

"Lava giant."

"The Seven Gods of Ruhe, the slaves left behind by the Lord of Life, the guardians of the Garden of Gods."

Akmanmon once saw the giant giant make a move in the Ten Thousand Snake King's Court. He wondered if the giant lava was as powerful as the giant giant.

But there is no doubt that it is the most powerful **** he has ever seen, the power beyond all.

Only at this time did people suddenly realize that this huge state land is actually just the back garden of the master of life.

The king of ghouls, Akmanmon, looked at the lava volcano in the forbidden area of ​​death, and suddenly had the urge to go in and take a look, to witness the power of this Ruhe giant.

But soon he restrained this urge, because it had no meaning other than dying in vain.

"If the gods also have levels, then what is the difference between the gods?"

"What kind of gap is there in the power between gods and gods?"

"If I become a real god, can I become stronger in the future?"

After gaining the power of "immortality", Akmanmon actually started to think about this kind of problem.

I don't know if I'm drifting away, or I'm planning for a rainy day.

But he didn't get an answer.

Because when he faced the Scarlet Goddess, the other party just blew a breath and he completely dissipated.

If you want to know how powerful the gods are, you must become a real god.

Ackerman lowered his gaze and looked into the volcanic forest.

That was the real goal of his trip.

Akmanmon quietly entered the volcanic jungle, and there were more potion plants in the forest, so there were also more mutant beasts that emerged.

These mutated beasts not only grew strange crystals in their brains, but also had strange changes in their body shapes.

Some have weirdly long hairs, some have a single horn on their heads, and some look like they're about to grow wings.

A strange change has gradually spread from the volcanic forest, and may spread to the entire world in the future.

This is an era of rapid progress.

One character after another is vying for the position of the protagonist of the era, and they are all bringing new things and changes to the world.

There are good ones and bad ones.

On the way, Ackerman encountered a team of lizardmen.

He immediately hid himself.

The original lizardman team was divided into two teams, one part was planting potion plants, the other was dedicated to cleaning up these mutated beasts, and the small village began to have various divisions of labor.

Listening to the other party's conversation, the lizard people are also having a headache for these monsters.

"Not only do we have to kill those monsters, but we also have to clean up the potions in the jungle." The lizard people were tired of dealing with the increasing number of mutated beasts, especially when Anu was away.

"The potion has spread, how to clean it up?" The increase in potion is a good thing, but sometimes it is too overflowing, which makes people feel a crisis.

"We have to find a solution. Recently, a mutated beast rushed out of the jungle and attacked caravans and passers-by." The lizard people talked about the recent incident of mutated beasts hurting people. This is not a good thing, and it may provoke the lizard people. Contradictions with the snake people.

"I heard that mercenaries came from Lime Town to collect potions and capture mutated beasts." The bad things became more and more one after another.

"How is this possible? That is the offering of the Feathered Serpent God." Hearing this news, all the lizardmen immediately changed their attitudes. It is not good for mutant beasts to hurt people, but it is another matter for outsiders to **** the offerings of the Feathered Serpent God. ;In their view, all the potions and mutant beasts were born under the power of the Feathered Serpent Kurmis, and naturally belonged to Kurmis.

"Unfortunately, Patriarch Anu is not here. Get rid of that damned ghoul and go to avenge Lek." Someone mentioned Anu.

"That ghoul must be dead this time." As soon as Lek was mentioned, the lizard man immediately showed an angry expression, expecting Anu to kill the murderer early and avenge his former companion.

Akmanmon stood on a tree branch, watching the lizardmen passing by below.

Only after listening to it did I realize that the lizardman who appeared in the Red Territory was called Anu.

Avoiding these lizardmen, Akman came to the opponent's lair.

He saw the magnificent pyramid again.

It looks similar to the mausoleum once built by Akmanmon, but one is full of vitality and the other is lifeless.

There are also more buildings in the lizardman village, not just for living, but also warehouses, libraries, conference halls, grocery stores and other buildings.

They still use Suinhall's coins. Although this place is a paradise, it still cannot escape the influence of the snake world.

Ackerman walked around the periphery of the lizardman village, which was very far away.

Observing all the movements here, everything was as he expected.

"The will in the pyramid is awake, not completely asleep like last time."

"It looks like Feathered Serpent Kurmys has important things to do recently."

Of course Akmanmon knew what Kurmis was doing.

The other party has sent Anu to the red soil territory to deal with him, and at the same time lent his strength to the other party.

"He is waiting for the situation in the Red Territory, and wants to wipe out me and all the ghouls."

What he likes most is to catch people off guard, which is why he got here so fast.

But according to what he heard and observed, this time he gave up the way of fighting fast and retreated from the volcanic forest to wait for the opportunity.

Kurmis was waiting, and so was he.

Waiting for the moment when Kurmis makes a move on "self", that time is also the best time for him to do it.

Akmanmon looked back at the Pyramid of Feathered Serpent before turning to leave, and said with cold eyes.

"If you want to kill me, then there is nothing to complain about being approached by me."

"right?"

the following days.

Ackerman has been waiting for opportunities, and "good news" is constantly coming from afar.

One after another, the territorial cities of Drumworth, Char, and Red Earth were recovered, and a large number of ghouls and the fallen people of the Silver Church were wiped out. The speed of the crazy development of the ghouls and the Silver Church was like a prairie fire, and the speed of collapse It's like a river bursting its banks.

Everyone in Lime Town applauded. Recently, a ceremony was held in the town to sacrifice to the Scarlet Goddess. The attendants of the temple and a few guards of the town paid off the ghouls that crawled out of the nearby graves.

The recent limelight of ghouls, the Silver Church, and the Esoteric Cult of Corpse Eaters has a tendency to overshadow the abyss, becoming synonymous with evil.

in the room.

Akmanmon is investigating the past of Kurmis the Feathered Serpent, as if everyone is investigating his past.

He took out document after document that recorded the deeds of Kurmis, as well as letters sent from various places.

To deal with your enemy, you must first know your enemy.

"Kurmis, the guard of Shana, the lord of Meiya City, lost his body in the disaster of the evil **** of original sin and became a Feathered Serpent."

"I once received the favor of the demon god, and I am a good friend with the apostle Su Kebu."

"..."

"From many years ago, he has been looking for a way to become human again, but in the accident of making brown ball vines, he turned all his assistants into lizard people. He made brown ball vines and King Osis Traded, exchanged the entire volcanic forest as a sanctuary for the lizardmen."

"This is a just, kind, and very rigid person."

Akmanmon seemed to have found a way to deal with Kurmis. He sorted out the pages and letters.

Stretched out, ready to go out for a walk.

He deliberately avoided the crowd and took the most secluded roads.

finally.

He sat down at the end of an alley.

The alley is dark and damp, but outside the alley is sunny.

Akmanmon just sat quietly in a damp and dark corner, looking at the sun outside and the bustling noise from the street.

He likes the dark, but yearns for the sun.

He longed for freedom, but locked himself away.

I don't know how long it has passed.

Ackerman heard someone coming, it was a drunken alcoholic.

Akmanmon saw that the other party was dangling as he walked, and he had to lean on the wall to stand firm, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him.

But he didn't expect the drunkard to walk towards him after seeing him.

"You, it's you."

The other party pointed at Akmanmon and shouted loudly.

"Dumb."

"It's been a long time, have you come back recently?"

The drunk came closer and leaned against the wall.

He took another sip of wine, hiccupped and said.

"The last time you sat here and looked outside, you looked very lonely!"

The drunkard followed Akmanmon's line of sight and looked outside, then turned his head to look at Akmanmon.

"There's nothing outside, what's there to see?"

The alcoholic's eyes were blurred, and he only looked at Ackerman's face, completely unaware that Ackerman's tail had turned into legs.

Akman's reaction seemed to be a bit slow, and at this moment he looked at the other party and asked, "I used to sit here too."

The drunkard laughed loudly: "You don't remember?"

"Just last year, no, the year before last?"

"It's been a while anyway."

"I've seen you several times, and every time you're here, sitting in this place."

Akmanmon just found a random place and sat down, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

At this moment, I searched for memories in my mind, and finally recalled them bit by bit.

Ackermann replied, "Oh, I remembered."

When he came to Lime Town last time, he did come here often to sit and sit, and he did meet this drunkard.

He was about to go completely insane, but every time he sat here, he would calm himself down.

Ackerman frowned and said in his heart.

"what happened?"

"How long ago did this happen, why do I have to recall it like this to remember?"

This requires a deep memory to remember that what happened before did not happen more than once.

It's like looking at everything around you strangely after coming to this small town.

The memory in his mind told him that he had indeed been here and lived here for a long time.

But for some reason, he couldn't find that sense of familiarity.

The alcoholic then said, "It's strange, you're not dumb!"

"You didn't answer the questions I asked you before, but this time you talked instead."

"But it's the same as before, it looks like the whole family is dead."

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

"But since you are so troubled, why don't you be a drunkard like me, so you are much less happy?"

The alcoholic handed over the bottle, as if he wanted Ackerman to take a sip.

Ackerman took it involuntarily, sniffed it, and asked him suddenly, he was stunned.

He asked himself, "Why am I talking to this drunk?"

"I still take his bottle? Do I still want a drink?"

"Alcohol just makes people lose their minds, and I hate losing my mind, I hate losing the feeling of being in control of my body."

Not only does Akermanmon not drink, he even dreads sleeping.

He suffers from severe insomnia because he fears that he will be killed in his sleep.

"No, why am I talking to this drunkard?"

"Why would I do this?"

"It's not like me?"

An invisible irritability arose in Ackerman's heart. Recently, he always felt that he was not like himself.

And the things in the memory, sometimes there will always be deviations from my own feelings.

His memory told him that he cared a lot about a girl named Jue Ye, but now Akeman didn't think that Jue Ye had anything to care about.

Memory told him he was terrified of falling asleep, but lately he was sleeping soundly.

Memory told him that Dark Moon was his worst nightmare, but he didn't understand why he was so afraid of him before.

Ackerman couldn't distinguish between memory and reality, and always felt that there was a huge difference between the self in memory and the current self.

It's like two people.

The more he thought about it, the more irritable he became, he could only keep telling himself to convince himself.

"It's normal."

"I have changed from a mortal to an immortal being."

"Everything that was in the past is no longer important, because I have broken off all the shackles and gained real freedom."

"I've gotten rid of the past, I'm not who I used to be."

Akmanmon said this, but the irritability in his heart did not decrease in the slightest.

Sitting in the corner of the alley, he suddenly let out a loud roar.

"Damn it."

"what on earth is it?"

Terrifying power erupted from his body, setting off a wave of air, and knocking the drunk out together.

"The sky is spinning?"

"No, how did I fly?"

The drunk fell heavily to the ground, his hazy eyes gradually came to his senses, and he finally saw Akmanmon's appearance clearly.

He suddenly exclaimed in shock: "You...you are not human."

"who are you?"

Akman approached a little bit, looking at this guy who caused him strong anxiety and destroyed his sense of tranquility and security.

With a wave of his hand, a huge worm shadow protruded from behind, swallowing the opponent in one gulp.

Killed the drunk.

"That's right."

"I am no longer a mortal, and I am no longer the former Akmanmon."

At this time, several ghouls appeared in the corner of the alley and found Akmanmon.

These are the servants of the ghouls recently created by Akmanmon. The few ghouls cleaned up by the gods of the temple are just a few unfinished products that were thrown out.

"Owner."

"King Osis has already reached the outside of the Red Earth City, and the coalition forces have launched an attack on the Red Earth City."

Ackerman felt the irritability in his heart, and his face gradually returned to the coldness of the past.

"It's time to do it."

He jumped into the sky and ran towards the volcanic forest.

---------------------------

Inside the Feathered Serpent Pyramid, a shadow sits on top of the golden pot.

The consciousness of Kurmis was participating in the war to wipe out the Silver Church and the ghouls through Anu, but after arriving at the final battlefield, he found that there was only one mad old ghoul in the lord's mansion.

"not here?"

"Then where is he?"

Kurmis hovered in the sky, his eyes saw the situation in the lord's mansion through the roof, and he looked at every corner at the same time.

Just when Kurmis made a sound of doubt, a silver-white insect with a length and width of more than 100 meters came from the other side of the volcanic forest where he was.

The bugs tore through a large area of ​​the jungle, and the towering giant trees were crushed, and finally hit the barrier on the outer layer of the pyramid.

The barrier instantly shattered, and the worm's head collided with the pyramid. At the same time, the Feathered Serpent Pyramid was knocked down.

"Boom."

Half of the tall and stalwart pyramid collapsed. At this time, the voice of the Feathered Serpent Kurmis also came out from the inside, making an unexpected exclamation.

"Why are you here?"

He was about to get rid of Akmanmon with King Osis, but unexpectedly, the Lord came to the Pyramid of Feathered Serpent and came to him.

After Ackermann destroyed the "pyramid ritual on which Kurmis became a god", he launched his next move.

In the lizardman village.

A large number of lizardmen rushed out after hearing the movement, and looked towards their sacred pyramid, just in time to see the scene where the terrifying worm destroyed the barrier and the pyramid.

"Worm, where did such a big worm come from?" The lizardman saw the huge worm falling from the sky, and each one of them was so frightened that their scales opened, and they exhaled white air from their nostrils.

"That's the spirit of the seal." Those present were all powerful people, and they still had some discernment.

"It's not a bug, it's a corpse-eating insect. Is that the king of ghouls, Akmanmon?" Someone immediately saw something. Although its size was frighteningly large, it was obviously a corpse-eating insect from the lines on it. It is self-evident who can control such a large corpse worm.

"The Feathered Serpent God... His target is the Feathered Serpent God." Many people immediately rushed towards the pyramid, wanting to guard their god.

But then, the huge white worm turned around and ran towards the lizardman's village.

A large number of bugs drilled out of Akmanmon's body.

The dense worms slanted down, flooded the village, and rushed into the bodies of these lizardmen.

The entire lizardman village was directly blocked, and all the lizardmen were under control.

Ackermann: "Successful."

In Akmanmon's view, this pyramid represents more than half of Kurmis' power and is the core of his godhood.

He doesn't know.

This pyramid is just a shell built by the lizardmen later, and what really works is the feathered snake's seed jar.

And after Ackermenmon broke the pyramid, he immediately took control of all the lizardmen, because the lizardmen are the believers and former assistants of Kurmis, and since they have practical effects on Kurmis, they also have old feelings .

Weakened the strength of Kurmis, and grasped the opponent's lifeline and weakness.

He felt that he was seventy-eight percent sure.

A huge corpse-eating worm lay across the lizardman village, and Akmanmon stood on top of its head.

"The Feathered Serpent God Kurmis, aren't you looking for me?"

"I'm already here."

Feathered snake **** has not yet become a god, but Akmanmon still calls him that, just like he thinks he is the **** of silver and white.

From the remaining half of the pyramid, a colossal monster whose body size is much larger than that of a corpse bug coiled up.

The huge wings spread out caused changes in the sky, and the sun shone on its mane and scales, refracting layers of light.

The work of the ghoul and the huge Feathered Serpent looked at each other.

If the gods do not appear, they are the pinnacle of the world.

At this moment, the two are at war with each other, but no one makes a direct move.

Because one launched a surprise attack and held an important hole card; the other was cautious, so he naturally hesitated.

Kurmis read out the other party's name: "Akmanmon, the second generation king of ghouls."

"You actually came after me."

Ackermann said as a matter of course: "Of course, you have what I want."

Kurmis is not stupid, of course he knows what Akmanmon wants.

But the more so, the more angry he felt.

Kurmis knew it, but asked, "What do you want?"

Akmanmon: "The way to become a god."

Kurmis erupted in an instant and directly reprimanded.

"I've seen a guy like you in Lunar Eclipse City. You, like Thuro, were born human but willing to become a monster."

"As the strong, but devour the weak."

"As a king, he doesn't have the bearing and posture of a king at all."

"How can someone like you become a god?"

"What qualifications do you have to be a god?"

Akman looked at the sun in the sky, and seemed to be saying that it was getting late, so stop talking nonsense.

"Although I don't know if you are procrastinating and waiting for the arrival of the gods, but I know I don't have much time."

"I don't have time to delay you, you either give it to me now, or I kill all the lizardmen now."

Ackerman looked at Kurmis and said expressionlessly.

"Please believe me, I want to get the determination to become a mystic."

"I will kill all lizardfolk, and I will chase you and the rest of the lizardfolk forever."

"Because I have to have him."

At this time, those lizardmen who had been penetrated by the corpse worms wailed and screamed one by one.

"Master Kurmis."

"Don't listen to this demon!"

"Can't give it to him, definitely can't give it to him."

Kurmis didn't say a word, and he who was already somewhat indecisive was caught in a dilemma at this moment.

Seeming to see the hesitation on Kurmis' face, Ackerman answered Kurmis' stern questioning.

"You're right, I'm not worthy to be a god."

"I'm not like you, and I'm not like your friend Apostle Sukob."

"You are just and great, you made the brown ball vine, you have great achievements."

"But the despicable me still wants to become a god, no matter what the cost."

"In this case, then righteous Kurmis!"

"Please give me mysticism, I can become a **** earlier, and this world will have less disasters."

Hearing Ackermanmon's shameless remarks, Kurmis was furious.

The sense of justice in his heart was unacceptable, and such a guy in front of him became a god.

And I once said secretly that I would never pass it on to anyone else and spread such a dangerous thing.

It's just that if he doesn't give it to the other party, all the lizardmen in front of him will die, which is also unacceptable to him.

Kurmis is caught in a dilemma.

"It must not be given to him."

"After giving it to him, there will definitely be bigger riots."

"But what about the kids? They're making brown ball vines, because I've sacrificed so much."

"I can't just abandon them like this."

"Anyone can abandon them, but I can't."

There seemed to be countless voices overlapping in Kurmis' mind.

At this time, he remembered what King Osis had said to him not long ago.

"The first step, we must completely destroy its body and all corpse-eating insects, let this Akmanmon die completely, so that the next Akmanmon will be born."

"In the second step, we must use Ackermanmon's head as a ritual medium to revive him as soon as possible..."

"The third step is to seal it..."

Kurmis suddenly looked at Ackermanmon. The king of ghouls in front of him didn't know that the Scarlet Goddess had already sealed his fate in secret.

Suddenly, Kurmis made up his mind.

"I can give it to you."

"Akmanmon, the king of ghouls, but how can I be sure that you will keep your promise.

"Ackerman also froze for a moment, as if to confirm whether what the other party said was true.

After confirming that it was true, Ackerman said immediately.

"It's a deal and I will keep my word."

"To you, they are very important, but to me, they are just a group of lizardmen.

"The huge feathered snake coiled up, and a ray of light spit out from its mouth.

He spit out a slate and handed it to Ackermanmon.

Shaw's.

Ackerman took the slate, and behind his calm face, he could see his excited eyes.

The arm touching the slate even trembled slightly.

Because this seemingly ordinary stone slab carries the secrets in this world that straddle the mortal and mythical barriers.

Ackerman raised the slate and looked at him against the light.

It was as if he had grasped the entire world, and his hands had already touched the throne of the gods.

"The secret book of becoming a god, the method of eternal life, and the authority of mythology."

"So it's called."

It was the first time he knew the name.

After Duma, Sukob, Oran, and Kurmis, in this era, some people have obtained this mysterious book.

Ackerman was swept away by his consciousness and completely imprinted it in his memory.

But Ackerman immediately had some doubts: "It seems that the front and back are not very consistent, but in theory there is no problem."

Only the four-point secret technique of the Divine Favor Stone is recorded in this book, and the part about making mythical props that Kurmis obtained from the Scarlet Goddess.

Kurmis did not include the part about the reincarnation.

So it doesn't look uniform.

Kurmis didn't lie, but he asked Ackerman in a plausible way.

"Do you think it's possible for me to get the full version of Mystic Success?"

Ackermann nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

He carefully examined the above content and felt that it was all right.

Especially the four-point secret technique of the Divine Favor Stone, he felt that this part was simply a stroke of magic, and this part alone had pierced the most critical window paper of the mythical props, making Ackerman suddenly wake up.

Ackerman couldn't wait, he wanted to leave with this thing.

"I will keep my promise."

Akmanmon immediately released his seal, and countless corpse-eating insects flowed back into Akmanmon's body.

Ackermann soared into the sky and flew towards the sky.

But he looked into the distance with a doubt in his heart.

"Why didn't the Scarlet Goddess come this time?"

When he came, he was actually ready to die once.

As long as you can get the way to become a god, it is worth dying no matter how many times you die.

But he didn't expect that the Scarlet Goddess didn't come until the end.

And the moment Ackermanmen left and flew into the sky, Kurmis suddenly asked Ackermanmon a question.

"Have you ever thought that you might not be the real Akmanmon?"

"And after you get the mysticism, the one who becomes a **** is not you, but the real Akmanmon."

Ackerman was stunned suddenly, and raised his head to look at Kurmis.

His eyes were full of doubts.

And the moment Ackerman stopped, Kurmis made a move.

The Feathered Serpent's seed pot exploded, and the violent golden light turned into beams of light and refracted around.

Lots of seeds were scattered from the jars.

The entire village, along with all the Lizardmen, were submerged in vines.

The entire forest was affected, all the plants seemed to come to life, and various visions also occurred in the sky of the volcanic forest.

This time Kurmis can be said to have done his best.

He moved out all the props that he relied on to become a god, and exposed them to people.

Please remember the first domain name of this book: . :
