Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1247: Monarch Substantiation

Not far from Green Light City, there was a mine. There were stone slabs that formed a wall around the mine. Behind the parapet were several metal steeples with automatic firing platforms common to the Baltics. Black, red-ribbed mining trucks are working on the mine. However, there was a group of Barbarians gathered on the open ground. They were the guards of the mine and also the subordinates of Iron Hand.

"You should know that our Lord Iron Hand is dead. Yes, it's bad news that a group of unknown people killed him. Worse still, those people are coming here. They're obviously going to take over his property and wealth," a large and small Baltic shouted as he stood on a tall rock.

"I heard that Nick is now their guide." There was no lack of well-informed people among the guards.

"That's right. That damn Nick has already joined the outsiders. He's the one who brought them here. I have to tell you, we have to start a war!" Said the bald man with a big head.

"Battle? Are you crazy, Wei Zhe? They're experts that even Lord Iron Hand killed. How can we beat them?" Baltic loyalty has always been limited, especially in the great wastelands or ruins, where only power can maintain their loyalty. In the past, with Tie Shou here, they were naturally loyal. Now that Iron Hand was dead, there was no need to expect them to be loyal to the dead.

"Don't forget that Lord Iron Hand is only one of his capable generals," sneered Weizer. Even if we surrender, we'll be safe for a while. However, not long after that, that lord would know what had happened in Green Light Town. With his temper, there was a good chance that he would personally bring the army over. Do you think those outsiders can win this war? "

'"No, that's impossible. They will be killed and their heads will hang on the dao signs outside the town as a warning. As for us who surrender, humph, I'm afraid we might as well die. Rather than do this, we might as well fight those people!"

Perhaps Wei Zhe was quite reasonable. The guards of the mine began to whisper in agreement with Wei Zhe's opinion. Like he said, unless they escaped from Green Light Town, or even from the wilderness. Otherwise, the big shot wouldn't let them off. There were already too many examples to prove this point in the past, and at the same time, that great figure used this iron-blooded method to control the loyalty of his subordinates.

"Here they come," shouted a guard from a metal steeple on the parapet.

Following which, several steeple shooting platforms had already opened fire, and miserable green beams of light immediately illuminated the surrounding space of the mine to a green color, with green fireballs blooming outside the mine. Seeing this, Wei Zhe roared, "What are you still waiting for? Let's start a war!"

He pointed forward, and the surrounding guards shouted as they rushed forward. Soon, they began to fight against outsiders. Seeing a few black weapons flying around the defensive towers from afar, the firing platforms were all dumbfounded. Seeing that the door was sliced open by a tall Gatu man with an axe, Wei Zhe felt even more wise in his decision. He winked at the other two guards beside him, and the three of them took advantage of the chaos to leave the other side of the mine.

After leaving the mine, Wei Zhe opened a device on his wrist and sent out a message that had already been edited. The general meaning of that message was that Iron Hand had been killed, the mine had been attacked, and only he and a few others had survived. In this way, it was the same as living, but it had a completely different meaning than surrendering without a fight. After hearing the news that Tie Shou had been killed, Wei Zhe began to plan for his own life. Finally, everything went according to his plan. He looked at the flickering mine behind him and laughed in his heart. Don't blame me. If you blame me, blame you for being stupid. As he thought, he suddenly hit a person in front of him. This collision was not light, causing Wei Zhe to fall to the ground. He said angrily, "Why did you suddenly stop?"

Only then did he discover that there was a figure standing not far from him.

Wei Zhe got up and stared with his surprisingly large eyes. His eyes had always been good, so it was easy to see that it was a human. Humans are rare in Agares, and human slaves exist only in Demoic Ring City or Sunset City. The human man in front of him had a head of eye-catching silver hair. He held a long saber in his arms and wore the armor commonly used by the Barbarians. He was looking over with a smile on his face.

"Everyone, this path is blocked." He said in the standard Agares language.

Wei Zhe shouted angrily, "What are you still waiting for? Kill him!"

The two guards woke up from their dreams and unloaded their beam guns from their backs. Then, they raised their guns and fired.

Miserable green beams of light shot out one after another, but before they could hit the man, they suddenly turned and refracted in midair. In vain, they exploded into jade-green fireballs between the surrounding empty space and the rocks. Wei Zhe looked at the two guards and pushed them behind him, "Idiot, go up and chop him!"

The guard threw down the beam gun and pulled out his sword from his waist and rushed forward. Wei Zhe ran backwards and glanced back, only to see that the man did not even draw his saber. He raised his hand and stretched out his finger. A scarlet ray of light appeared in front of him, and then it flew over lightly, brushing past the two guards. The following scene caused Wei Zhe to fall. The seemingly harmless light called for the two guards to split up!

At this moment, the man looked at him and took a step forward with a smile. His figure disappeared from Wei Zhe's sight. At the same time, Wei Zhe felt a breathing stream gently pat his face. He turned his head back. The man was already crouching beside him, his gaze landing on the working device on his wrist. "Looks like you've done something bad," he said.

The battle at the mine was over.

The guards' resistance was exceptionally strong. They were simply desperate. Of course, no matter how desperate they were, it was useless. Facing Laura, these four experts who were comparable to Federation Generals, this guard force of less than a hundred people was only about two minutes' work for them. So when Nick saw the thick smoke coming out of the mine and the corpses of the Iron Hand guards dragging the Gatu man up a small hill outside the door, the Neil man had a new understanding of Alan's power.

Putting aside the army, Allen's strength and the strength of his four followers alone, even if he was thrown into the wilderness, Allen still had the qualifications to compete with those big shots. As for the army, with such strength, there was no need to worry that no one would work for him. Agares had always adhered to the law of the jungle, and this law of the jungle had been interpreted even more thoroughly in the great wilderness. If the weak did not attach themselves to the strong, then they could only wait to be eaten. This was the iron rule of the great wasteland.

At this moment, he saw Alan return, dragging a Baltic whose head and body were out of proportion. Nick recognized Wei Zhe as one of Iron Hand's subordinates. This fellow couldn't fight, but his brain was good, and he was exceptionally sinister. Right now, Wei Zhe was struggling, but struggling was futile. Alan walked nearby and threw his hand away. At the same time, a beam of Origin Energy rushed into the Baltic's body. Wei Zhe immediately screamed. All the bones in his body were instantly shattered, and he could only lie on the ground like a pool of mud.

Alan looked at Nick and said, "Look at what's on his wrist. He seems to have sent a message."

Nick quickly trotted over.

Seeing Nick flipping through the device on his wrist, Viktor said fiercely, "I remember you, Nick, you rat in the stinking ditch. Do you know what you're doing?"

"Of course, I'm working for Lord Alan."

"For a human?" Wei Zhe sneered, "Don't think that he can protect you just by killing Lord Iron Hand, Nick. You should know how powerful that Lord is. Not to mention a human, even if there are ten or a hundred of them, that Lord can easily kill you!"

"Perhaps." Nick blinked, "But if I hadn't done that, I might be dead by now. And right now, I can at least survive until that Lord's army arrives. Besides, it's not Lord Alan who killed Iron Hand, but one of his followers. You see, Vijay, I think Lord Alan might be able to kill that Lord."

Wei Zhe was stunned. This was truly unexpected news.

Nick removed the device from his wrist and glanced at it. "He did send some messages," he said.

"This guy has already sent out what happened in Green Light Town, Lord Alan."

Alan nodded, not surprised. "In other words, we will soon see the owner of the Iron Hand."

'"Yes, that Lord is known as the Blood Eye in the Wilderness. He is one of the few great figures in the Wilderness. Lord Alan, I have to remind you that Blood Eye Azes has nearly a thousand thugs working for him. If he wants to, he can bring out an army of more than a thousand men."

"The army …" Ellen said coolly, "I have one too. It seems it's time to bring Mitinus over."

Nick was puzzled. Of course, he didn't know that Mitinus was the Fire of the Abyss, the Otherworldly Monarch who had promised to build an army for Alan!

While Hubble was following Alan's instructions to retrieve Iron Hand's corpse, Alan was standing in front of a harvester. Nick opened the harvester's carriage and picked up a piece of green glaze ore from it and handed it to him. He looked at the raw ore wrapped in rock clothes and could feel the energy contained in the ore. Just like Nick had said, ores that could be refined into green crystals naturally contained powerful energy. This energy did not have any attributes, it was only a single berserk and chaotic energy.

Inside, Alan felt that the green crystal's energy was very mixed. If there was a way to purify it, the value of the green crystals would probably soar. However, when he thought about it, he gave up. There were so many great figures in the Great Wasteland. Alan didn't believe that they wouldn't have thought of purifying the green crystals. Since the original green crystals were still used for trading, there was no need to do so, or the gains would not be worth the losses after purification.

Since that was the case, there was no need for him to do anything unnecessary.

"Sir, the workers have all escaped. I'm afraid this mine …" Nick warned from the side.

Alan nodded and said, "Like you said, Iron Hand, the mine, and this Green Light Town belong to Lord Blood Eye. As long as Azes is alive, no one will work for me. It doesn't matter. Let the mine be temporarily shut down. When Azes dies, they will naturally know what to do."

Nick licked his lips and lowered his head to show his reverence. It was natural to say that he could kill Azes. The man in front of him was either confident or crazy, and Nick didn't want to provoke him no matter what kind of person he was. Moreover, he was already on the same boat as Alan. Naturally, he was more willing to believe that Alan would be able to kill the Blood Eye. A new situation would inevitably be ushered in in in such a vast wasteland, and he would live a completely different life.

Nick is betting that if he wins, he will be completely overturned. If he lost, he wouldn't be worse off than he is now.

A moment later, Hubble returned and brought back Iron Hand's corpse. After that, Alan told them to leave the mine. In this vast open space, only he and Tie Shou's corpses were left alone. He walked around the corpse of Iron Hand and muttered, "Mitinas said that two worlds can be connected by me, and will can go in and out of two worlds. If Mitinus wanted to materialize in this world, he needed a medium. The medium must be the body of a creature, and the stronger the better. It was unknown if the Iron King's body could withstand the will of the Abyss Flame. "There is also a method to extract the meaning of that world. Mitinus said that I know. In other words, that method should also come from the inheritance of the bloodline?"

He patted his head. "But do I really know that way?"

As Alan thought about how to extract his will, the things in front of him began to be eliminated bit by bit. When his field of vision turned dark, a burning bloody path winded over. In the blink of an eye, he was already standing on this bloody path. The path of bloodshed came from nowhere, but its end was definitely the Throne of Annihilation. Alan could already see the throne more clearly when he looked forward. He seemed to be much closer to the throne than before.

Then, a lot of information suddenly appeared in his mind. That massive amount of information flooded into his brain, ignoring his wishes and forcefully instilling it into Allen's brain. He couldn't help but snort. Even though his body had already undergone a transformation, when he suddenly received so much information, that kind of feeling was definitely not comfortable.

Only after the bloody abnormality disappeared did Alan breathe a sigh of relief. It was as if a storm had just subsided in his mind, and now his thoughts were in chaos. After a while, the chaotic thoughts disappeared one by one, and then Alan read about the method of extracting the will of another world.

The method was surprisingly simple.

It was so simple that Alan doubted whether it really worked, but if it did, he would know after a try. He shrugged his shoulders and pushed his thumb against the hilt of Red King's saber. The saber was unsheathed by an inch. Ellen stretched out his left hand and used his index finger to cut the edge of Red King's knife. Then, he pulled out a thin cut. He squatted down and pointed his finger at the corpse of Iron Hand. A drop of blood dripped down from the wound on his fingertips. This blood was flickering with a scarlet flame.

It dripped onto Tie Shou's face and quickly penetrated through his skin. However, in the blink of an eye, it had already completely disappeared from Tie Shou's face. Threads of flames floated beneath Tie Shou's skin, and the flames continued to spread. At the same time, Alan whispered, "Come this way, Mitinus …"

His body is the bridge between two worlds, and his blood is the carrier of will. Mitinus could enter the physical world through his body, and then use Allen's blood as a carrier to enter the physical medium. In fact, Alan had already done the same thing before, back at the Iron Prison Base. When he hated Fendi and everything in the base, some of the wills in that alien world quietly entered the physical world through Allen's blood, and finally entered the bodies of the base personnel, using their bodies as a medium to materialize.

However, Allen didn't know all of this at that time, and those materialized Fire Boys and Firehorned Demons were also killed in the base's big explosion. Alan was doing the same thing now. The difference was that he had subconsciously materialized an alien life last time, but this time, he had taken the initiative to do so, and the one who wanted to materialize was an alien king.

No one knew what the outcome would be, including Alan.

At this moment, in the corpse of Iron Hand, the Baltic cells were undergoing earth-shattering changes. After Alan's blood entered his body, it quickly burned and decomposed, releasing countless foreign cells that were moving in the blood that had not yet completely condensed in the iron hand. After these cells passed by, the blood that was about to condense in the iron hand began to flow again. As a result, the pair of eyes that had previously been closed suddenly opened. However, flames were constantly spraying out from these eyes.

Not only that, all parts of Iron Hand's body spat out flames, as if there was a ball of flames burning within his body. Alan backed away a little. He could already feel another will quietly appearing on Iron Hand. It was like a newborn baby, emitting a tender and childish aura. However, its essence was magnificent and ancient.

That was the will of the Abyss Flame!

Boom. Tie Shou flicked his body upwards, and fierce flames sprayed out from his body, engulfing his entire body in the flames. Then the flames began to shrink, and only a ball the size of a blue ball remained on the ground. On the charred ground, Iron Hand's corpse had already disappeared. Only the fireball still existed. At this moment, a few irregular rocks floated up from the ground.

These stones had already completely crystallized, and they began to buzz as black powder continuously sprinkled down from above. By the time the black powder was sprinkled out, they had already turned into prismatic black crystals of equal volume. These black crystals circled the fireball, forming a circle that looked like a fireball's guard. Above, Alan could feel a strange force field protecting the fireball. Then a voice came from the fireball, "Nice to meet you in the material world, Your Highness the Dark King. As promised, I, Abyss Fire Mitinus, am here at your disposal."

Although Alan was mentally prepared, when he heard this voice, he couldn't help but be slightly shocked. Mitinus could indeed materialize in the physical world. It was like this, but it was too far away from what he had seen in the other world.

Seemingly aware of Alan's doubts, Mitinas' voice came from the fireball, "Your body is powerful. If possible, I hope to appear before you in the perfect form." But that's impossible. I'm not a product of the material world. I have to pay a huge price in order to enter this world. I chose to sacrifice my strength to retain my intelligence and ability. "Because compared to the former, the latter is more capable of assisting you, Your Highness."
