Chapter 676 "Dutiful One" Eldest Daughter feels like a new recruit in front of Diakum - additional updates [35]
(Additional update for brother "Shoushou" [3/5])
Shadowlands's five Eternal Oness each have their own unique skills.
They were born as gods, and possessed the power given by First Ones at the moment they awakened. It can be said that they stood at the "top of the biological chain" that Six Realms all living beings dream of as soon as they were born.
The place Shadowlands was shaped by First Ones, and the rules called "Destiny" are all fixed. This leads to the fact that Eternal Ones are basically rulers who take a "management position" rather than fighters like Sargeras.
Although Pantheon and Titan were also born as gods, when they were spreading order in the star sea, they would occasionally encounter devils, ancient gods, and such devilish things that they needed to clean up by themselves, and they had accumulated more or less combat experience.
Guardians like Sargeras and Aggramar are either fighting or on the way to fights every day.
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of Sargeras is strong as it should be.
But Eternal Oness don't have such troubles. They don't need to fight at all. Shadowlandss don't have the power to challenge them at all. This means that although Eternal Oness are powerful, it is difficult for them to display their due level.
This is because you are born with the courage of the King of Chu, but you have never had any serious training since childhood. If you bully a rookie with your talent, you will naturally be crushed, but if you encounter a real tough opponent, you will probably be pushed to the ground and severely slapped in the face.
Of course, the "less combat experience" mentioned here is compared with Titan of Pantheon, and not all Eternal Ones are not good at fighting.
Primus, who is responsible for the war, will always go through battles of one kind or another in order to protect the safety of Shadowlands, making him the most skilled individual among Eternal Ones.
The former Arbiter, the current Lord of the Maw Zovaal, as the guy who once launched a rebellion against System of Destiny, has also fought with other Eternal Ones, and his combat experience is quite rich.
But the remaining three Eternal Ones are a bit stretched.
Although both Revendreth and Bastion have been invaded by other forces, Sire Denathrius and Gristletia the Firstborn have not actually been on the front line in the true sense. They are more directing their respective servants to fight.
In addition, although Eternal Oness have the status of "true gods", due to some "special reasons", the upper limit of Eternal Oness' true combat power is actually the strongest Lesser Gods at best.
Perhaps it is because First Ones feels that they are born to maintain and preside over the "Destiny" and there is no need to fight and kill, so they casually filled in a value with their feet in the "Upper Limit of Combat Power"
In short, when he saw Eldest Daughter charging toward him with Executive Officer's war spear, Diakum felt no emotion at all, and even wanted to laugh a little.
No, ladies!
You are fiercely murderous, relying on the majesty of being the incarnation of the Bastion country and the oppressive power of Eternal Ones, you can get ten points in terms of "momentum", but is your gesture of charging at you with all your strength and spear in hand serious?
Although it looks good, if you can actually fight more than ten times, I, Vigilant, will sell it to High Heaven and hang out with you in the future!
Diakum transformed into a flash of light, flashing from the side, easily dodging Eldest Daughter's "pig advance", allowing the powerful Executive Officer war spear to shatter the Apex of Heaven standing Eldest Daughter sculpture.
As the sacred statue was flying with rubble, Eldest Daughter suddenly turned around, folded its sacred wings and turned into a shield to block it, and then Crusader Strike with a black and golden afterimage hit Eldest Daughter's wings.
The terrifying energy release was like a sun bursting between the two of them, causing Eldest Daughter to be knocked away, spinning in the air and flapping his wings to stabilize his body. He was about to lock Diakum and fight back again, but saw Vigilant clasp his left fist and strike hard downwards.
Then a fully charged Solar Fist roared and tore apart the sky, hitting Eldest Daughter in the middle of the sky.
Solar Fist filled with Holy Light Burst bombarded Kyrestia's body, making her feel as if she had been thrown into the surface of a star. For a second, it seemed that all the blood in her body would be completely evaporated.
But fortunately, Eternal Ones's "numerical value" was strong enough. When he was at a disadvantage, Eldest Daughter didn't even think about resisting. He turned into a bright beam and returned to his throne before Solar Fist's final explosion.
Before she could take a breath, the dazzling stream of light from Solar Fist in the air was shaped into millions of flaming swords under the control of Diakum's fingers. Like "Infinite Sword Making + Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Sect", it roared across all obstacles in Apex of Heaven's way, and once again wrapped Eldest Daughter in millions of sharp blades.
"Enough!!!"
Kyrestia roared, holding the Executive Officer war spear with both hands, and pointed it hard on the throne.
Bastion's national power gathered in her hands at this moment, and she used a force burst with no skills to complete a simple and crude "Force Hedging", completely eliminating Diakum's Holy Light blow.
She has realized that she cannot fight the "Holy Light monster" before her, who has experienced countless battles.
No matter in terms of combat skills, combat experience or combat will, I don't have an advantage. What the One has is the simple and crude "numerical value".
But the problem is that Diakum is obviously a mechanical monster.
Pure numerical attacks are useless against him.
Before Eldest Daughter could think about how to fight next, Diakum had quietly appeared in the last wisp of Dispersion's Holy Light. He dragged Sunstrider Warhammer with both hands and had already completed the "maximum charge".
In the gaze of Eldest Daughter with wide eyes, the magnificent "True·Solar Storm" was once again submerged in millions of streams of light as the war hammer struck hard.
Between the sweeps of Solar Storm, there were continuous bursts of "Sunflare·Most Holy Slash" that were unpretentious but full of destructive power. In just a few seconds, the terrifying energy output shattered, swept, pulled, grinded, and buried all the gorgeous buildings on the top floor of Elysian Hold in the energy hedge resisted by Eldest Daughter.
Waiting for it to be enough to shake the battlefield, Forsworn and Kyrian stopped fighting, and when they looked back at Apex of Heaven's energy burst Dispersion, Eldest Daughter's sacred throne had been shattered into a ghost place worse than High Heaven's unfinished building construction site.
Oh, co-author "High Heaven Master" is not just here to recruit people today, but also to "Friendly Business Company" for demolition, right?
High Heaven "President" personally transformed into Holy Light Excavator and demolished a friend's iconic and brilliant office building. So, is this the legendary unpretentious business war?
Diakum's set of silky small combos knocked Eldest Daughter away from his temper. With the burning Torch War Hammer in his hand, he stood there, looking "completed the warm-up" While preparing for the second battle, although he was not injured, the golden Archon Crown was ruthlessly melted, leaving the "disheveled" Eldest Daughter suspended in a pile of rubble, feeling cold and out of breath.
The strength of Eternal Ones's body is indeed a bit beyond the standard. The ritual armor and robes on his body were almost melted, but Eldest Daughter's blue skin did not leave even a single burn or battle scar.
It's just that the majestic image is completely gone.
With disheveled hair and ragged clothes, she looks very much like the long-legged and passionate big sister in "Shadowlands Dance Hall" who dances vigorously.
Not to mention, Eldest Daughter's long blue hair shawl full of light spots is quite nice, at least much better than that unfortunate triangular helmet dotted with seven spikes.
But she was really pissed off.
She grabbed the war spear and was about to charge again, but as soon as she raised her hand, the exaggerated golden Executive Officer war spear in her hand that had both a sense of power and a sense of ritual shattered from the top ring with a click, leaving only the "Bell of Purity" decorated inside, making an overwhelmed sound.
Judging from the shape of this thing, this war spear is obviously not used for fighting!
Whose battle spear would have such a big ring on the top?
There is also a clock inside, why?
Every time you swing it, you have to "send death" to the enemy?
The meaning is good, but this thing is obviously a "ritual vessel", right?
Diakmu has been walking across the star sea for so many years and has experienced many wars, large and small. The only profession he has seen that can fight with ritual weapons without overturning is called "Moon Night War God", but it is a pity that the comprehensive combat power of the eldest daughter in front of him is not comparable to that of Moon Night War God.
It is estimated that if a Great Demon Lord like Sarkir comes over, it can beat her when connected to Fel Force for perfusion.
"Okay."
The opponent's weapon was broken, and it was another "female person". Diakum shrugged, and turned Sunstrider Warhammer back behind him to dissipate the light and heat that had just been "ignited".
He waved his hand and said:
"Fighting with you is not challenging at all. It neither satisfies my desire as Warrior to "challenge strong enemies", but also challenges my principle as Priest to "not bully the weak."
Stop humiliating yourself!
Although the "container" given to you by First Ones can be called Invincible, I still have ways to destroy it, so let's try another method."
He made a "stop" gesture and said:
"The most powerful power you have is your "rules", use it to attack me! If I stand here and let you hit me casually, you can't control me, so for the sake of Bastion's future
I advise you to surrender obediently."
"What do you think this is?!"
Eldest Daughter threw away the broken war spear, and she yelled angrily:
"This is not a victory or defeat, you are challenging Shadowlands's destiny! Those are the basic rules of Death Force. As a part of destiny, how can I surrender just because I lose to you?
You can kill me!
You can destroy Bastion, but destiny will not collapse."
"Of course it will not collapse because of my battle. After all, if you are not blind or deaf, you can see that even if I don't come, this miserable destiny will definitely collapse on its own within the next fifty years!"
Diakum sneered and said:
"If you really fulfill your duties as you said, then you should be Eternal Ones who was the first to discover this trend. After First Ones left, Death Force's destiny has been going "out of control."
The rebellion of Zovaal, the conspiracy imposed on Material World, the abnormal expansion of the power of death, the lack of anima, the withering of Ardenweald, the disappearance of Primus
How much more evidence do you need to convince yourself that you are just guarding an order that is destined to collapse?
Or, have you actually realized it a long time ago?
You are just unable to reverse it, so you can only convince yourself that while other Eternal Oness are prepared for this, you and the entire Bastion should close your eyes and ears, not see or care, and pretend that as long as you continue to fulfill your duties, the destiny you are loyal to will always exist?
Excuse me, Ms. Kyrestia
Are you covering your ears?
Are you the kind of XXN who closes your eyes and pretends it's dark, and is moved by yourself all day long?"
"Shut up! Vicious bastard!"
Eldest Daughter's defense-breaking scolding resounded throughout the battlefield at this moment.
This sentence shocked all the saints, including Devos. If they remembered correctly, this should be the first time in their countless years of serving Eldest Daughter that their leader had said such dirty words.
Is this really what Bastion's Eternal Ones should say?
Hey, no Kyrian who has been promoted would speak like this. Eldest Daughter, where are your etiquette and dignity?
Are you planning to destroy the character today?
But Eldest Daughter no longer cared about what her followers thought. She broke through with a "mind-piercing" defense, just as Diakum expected, and used her concept of power directly given by First Ones.
The power of "Dutifulness" is like a mountain weighing tens of millions of tons crashing down.
This concept of power sounds very obscure, but its content is actually super simple. To understand it literally, "Dutifulness" means "fulfilling one's responsibilities", which is also in line with Eldest Daughter's requirements for the entire Bastion.
Therefore, the form of releasing the power concept of Eldest Daughter is actually a strict "work review" of the target.
Has the target fulfilled his or her responsibilities well?
Does the target comply with the various standards required for this responsibility?
Is the method used by the target in completing his duties consistent with the moral principles he walks?
Most importantly, does the goal come from a sincere desire to complete the job, rather than some other impure purpose?
This torture does not sound harsh, at least it sounds much gentler than the "pardon" power controlled by Sire Denathrius, or the "conquest" power controlled by Primus.
However, upon closer inspection, it is not difficult to find that the power concept of Eldest Daughter does not have any destructive power, but it is almost at the rule level, and it can take effect on all living creatures without restraint!
The most important thing is that it is really difficult to pass this torture perfectly.
After all, even Sargeras cannot touch his conscience and say that he is doing his best to complete the duty of destruction entrusted to him by Fel. In fact, if Sargeras really came to this "torture test", it is estimated that Sargeras would not even be able to pass the first question.
Diakum has basically determined that Sargeras is "Fel Skin, Order Heart", and with the power given by Fel, he is accomplishing the goals set by Order.
This is not "malfeasance"!
This is blatant NTR.
So, what is the result of the "work review" of Diakum, who is being tortured by Eldest Daughter?
The terrifying weight was placed on Diakum's shoulders, making Vigilant feel like he was carrying a mountain that was getting heavier and heavier at this moment, making his waist bend down.
This is not physical pressure, but the impact of rules after the concept of power is released, which only takes effect on him.
"I am doing my best to fulfill my goals and responsibilities. I want to ignite the sun, and I am trying to ignite Him! I want to bring my people back home, and I walk on the road home every day."
Dick stared at Eldest Daughter, revealing a daunting smile amidst the ferocious face caused by the tightness of the muscles suppressed by the huge force.
He tried hard to lift his feet and said word by word:
"I sincerely want to accomplish these goals! Because I know that once the sun rises, the entire sea of stars will benefit from it. This is the responsibility given to me by Holy Light, and this is My Work Given by Holy Light.
I never strayed from this path"
"Buzz"
Part of the concept of power exerted by Eldest Daughter dissipated, allowing Diakum to straighten up with difficulty.
His footsteps moved forward smoothly, causing Eldest Daughter to take a step back with a hint of "fear". Obviously, the result in front of him was beyond Kyrestia's expectations.
"I adhere to Authority of Holy Light and dogma. I have never imposed anything that I cannot accept on others. I have never forced them to accept my ideas in the name of "being good for others."
I have never forced others to join my cause in the name of glory and victory.
I obeyed All Rules Holy Light Requires Me to Obey, even walking in the shadows, I fulfilled All Morality of Light and Shadow!"
Diakum roared again, and the heavy pressure on him disappeared again.
So he moved forward again.
Eldest Daughter This time the pace of retreat was even greater.
But behind her was the broken throne cliff, causing her whole body and a pair of wings to stick to the broken wall.
At this moment, it was as if Diakum was the one putting pressure on her, rather than her exerting power to torture the madman in front of her.
"I conscientiously fulfill my duties and have never thought of using wrong but quick ways to replace the difficult path I should take. I regard all setbacks and pressures I encounter as tests, and I am happy to continue to advance myself.
I carry Eclipse forward, just because the darkness will no longer fall on the innocent!
There is no more tragedy in my heart, everything I see is Miracle of Light and Shadow"
Diakum answered again.
This time, light burst out from his body, shattering all the Dutifulness power exerted by Eldest Daughter. His light and shadow caused his wings to rise, bringing endless light feathers to surround the ruins.
The torture was over, and Eldest Daughter's body was trembling.
She had realized that her power was of no use to the guy in front of her.
It's not that my power has failed, but that the guy in front of me is more like "Dutiful One" than me. Compared with what he has done, I am like a new recruit.
But her torture is over, and Diakum's torture has just begun.
As the light feathers scattered, Vigilant asked loudly:
"Then, answer me, Kyrestia!
Do you fulfill your duties, do you sincerely uphold the destiny, do you firmly believe that Death Order created by First Ones is perfect? Do you believe, as you show, that Shadowlands should reach the end of the journey according to the flawed plan set by the Creator?"
"I"
Eldest Daughter swallowed hard.
She crossed her arms, trying to stop Diakum from getting closer.
But under questioning after questioning, Kyrestia finally lowered his head.
Under the stunned gazes of the saints who rushed into the ruins behind them, their leader's wings gathered around her, causing Eldest Daughter, whose will finally collapsed, to collapse weakly. She huddled under the cliff of the ruins at the top of Bastion.
In the stains where the white feathers quietly turned into black, her body kept making some kind of breaking sound.
Finally, under Diakum's compassionate gaze, Eldest Daughter sighed.
She covered her face and eyes and said hoarsely:
"I tried hard, I tried, I can't change it"
"The harder I work, the more exhausted I become, the more exhausted I become, the more desperate I am. Destiny is not perfect. It has shaped me, made me, inspired me, confused me, trapped me and even defeated me."
There may be no worse order in the world than this."
