Chapter 402: Chapter 276 Book of Destiny

Rod’s pupils constricted as he clearly saw that the body had no soul; this was not resurrection, but the pretense of one.

He immediately realized that this Chief Judge’s body had become a puppet.

Was this the person hiding behind the Chief Judge?

Mephit coldly watched as the two halves of the body came together on their own, and a hoarse, sharp voice emanated from it.

"Worthy of being the strongest tabooer, but using your power like this, the restraining imprint will take your life."

Rod sneered, "She has a Restraint Bracelet, she won’t die."

The split lips of the body revealed a sinister smile.

"Son of Destiny, you understand nothing. You have come too late, too late. The destiny has ended. Trolian is but a rut dragged behind the era of fire for a thousand years; it will evaporate like a puddle under the blazing sun. Regardless of what you or we do, a dark era is coming, and everyone will die, without exception."

Rod sneered again, "Quit with the scare tactics here. If you have the guts, come out and kill me; otherwise, I’ll eventually turn your hideout upside down, throwing all of you hiding in the shadows into the fire to crack and burn."

"Heh, don’t rush, Son of Destiny."

The smile on the body grew more meaningful.

"We don’t need to lift a finger; you’re already living on borrowed time. The death star twinkles above your head, and an indescribable nightmare is about to descend, ending your miserable life."

Rod scoffed, "Then why tell me? If the fate of humanity’s destruction is unavoidable, why are you even bothering? Wouldn’t it be better to just hide in the shadows and watch the world develop as you expect?"

The voice of the body took on a mocking tone.

"The only end for arrogance is destruction. Humanity is a product of arrogance, born with the original sin of arrogance. Only by letting go of arrogance, willingly embracing the Black Fog, adapting to the new environment, and evolving into a new human, can one survive. I am trying to save you."

Rod sneered, "It’s the same old theory with every doomsday cult. I don’t know if these three chief judges were Doomsday believers, but seeing their stupid actions, it is likely they were infected by your brain filled with madness."

The body laughed eerily, its leaky vocal cords making its voice extremely creepy.

"Do you think this is a conspiracy we meticulously planned? Do you think this is an action we desperately undertook?"

"No, I just slightly amplified their arrogance and greed, everything thereafter was their own doing. Look, you live in the brilliant light of fire, but your inner selves are dirtier than us who hide in the sewers."

No wonder these guys acted like they had lost their minds... Rod thought to himself, keeping his face expressionless and asked, "What does ’Son of Destiny’ mean? Why do you call me that?"

The smile on the body grew wider, so wide it almost split.

"I can only tell you that the Book of Destiny Death in Sagus Ancient City is in our hands, we have mastered its secrets, we can magnify your inner desires, alter the trajectory of your destinies, replace your lives, and the last human survivors will collapse amid doubt and suspicion, while the new savior will be born upon the ruins."

Rod knew he could not coax more words from this guy, and snorted coldly, "No need to waste words anymore, Mephit, just freeze this thing into fragments; it’s really an eyesore."

The chill intensified suddenly; frost spread over the body and long crystals penetrated its interior, but the body’s smile remained unchanged.

"Useless, this is just a fleshly mouthpiece... Son of Destiny, you are in grave danger. If you’re willing to forsake your already doomed mission and join our salvation plan, we can help you escape..."

Rod focused, scanning the surroundings, trying to find any clue of the hidden mastermind, but found nothing.

He diverted his gaze, saying coldly, "And if I refuse?"

The body gradually split open, and the voice became even more chaotic and noisy.

"Then I can only speed up your destruction, prevent you from dragging more humans into the Abyss..."

Bang.

The body burst within the ice crystals, and flesh and blood fragments mixed with ice dust scattered into the air.

Yet its manic laughter continued to echo in the air, lingering for a long time.

"You will eventually perish, the future belongs to the dark new mankind."

The remnants of the Aries Demons were quickly exterminated by the large army.

Though they could regenerate indefinitely, they too had their limits.

And the number of warriors exceeded that of the numerously famed monsters by twice, with individual strength that vastly surpassed the Mature Level Aries Demons; the disparity in combat power left them without even dust remaining, and the foul Abyssal Aura was quickly cleared.

Star Town achieved another significant victory, and as news spread, everyone was elated, jubilant, and Rod’s name once again became the most frequent term on their lips.

How could such a victory not warrant a celebration?

When the firelight shifted from fierce to gentle, bonfires were lit in the large and small squares around Star Town, where most townspeople gathered to celebrate another victory and prayed that such victories would continue forever.

All around the raging bonfires, long prayers and lively songs echoed in succession.

The Fire Priests watched it all contentedly; at least for that moment, everyone was living in happiness and stability, without worries about death and fear.
