Late at night.
Li Ang still stays in the garden of Noble Council.
The place has been renovated and looks empty, with only a few statues still standing.
Li Ang stood in front of a three-meter-tall stone statue and looked up.
This is both the statue of Kavala and the street lamp of Noble Council's garden - the street lamps of Noble Council all look like Kavala holding the lamp and shining forward.
The stone statue of Kavala stands on a stone platform more than one meter high. The statue is almost as tall as a human. It is exquisitely crafted and lifelike.
"Your Majesty, can I talk to you? You have been looking at me, right?"
Li Ang brought the ring to his mouth and asked gently.
"What are you going to talk about? Do you think you have won? You just got Lion City temporarily, but I will still kill you in the end..."
Kavala replied immediately, with a calm and indifferent tone.
It seems that he has indeed been paying attention to Li Ang.
"No, I just want to ask, why did you create Snake Worship Cult? And why did you deliberately spread Red Death? Kingdom of Pendor was established by you yourself, and the people in the entire continent were your people... Most of the heirs of the Pande royal family died of Red Death. They are all your own descendants - don't you care about them at all?"
Li Ang really wants to know the reason.
After a moment of silence, Kavala's voice sounded, "Of course I care... This is my Pande! This is the land I laid down with all my hard work! This is the country I built at the expense of countless comrades..."
"But just because I care, I will do this... and Red Death is not spread by me..."
"Boy, I can tell you everything I've been through..."
"In order to seal Gloomy Eye, I conquered the continent, so my comrades died on the battlefield one by one..."
"In order to destroy those damn codes, my wife died in the expedition, and my last brothers also died in the expedition... I have been fighting for the will of Goddess my whole life, and I have never stopped!"
"At that time, I was at the mercy of others and sacrificed everything for Goddess's will... But it wasn't until I got older that I discovered that I had never obeyed my own will in my life!... I was just a pawn in the hands of Eunomia!"
"I conquered the continent, destroyed most of the laws, and made Eunomia the only main god in the entire continent who can come to the world... But I lost everything!"
"My wife, my friends, my soldiers, my people... and myself!"
"But what did Eunomia pay?"
"She just gave me a few indifferent compliments and then said God shouldn't exist in the first place... She didn't even want me to live too long!"
"At that time, I didn't know why... After completing the expedition to the Buckley Continent, the only thing I wanted at that time was to enjoy a few more days of peace in my later years. After decades of continuous fighting, I had had enough!"
"However, even when I am old, Eunomia still asks me to launch an expedition against the Buckley Continent..."
"I was already seventy-six years old at that time... I had been fighting continuously for fifty-five years! Li Ang, can you understand my mood at that time? Hahaha..."
Kavala laughed miserably as he spoke.
"I can indeed understand your mood... really. But I don't understand your approach..."
Li Ang sighed.
Eunomia wants to end the chaos brought by God, so she has been driving Kavala to continuously conquer. In order to destroy all God's laws, all countries and nations in the entire world must be completely defeated...
But we have been fighting for more than fifty years without letting anyone take a holiday...
Even a mule cannot be used like this! No matter how evil-minded a capitalist is, he will shed tears...
However, Kavala was really stupid at that time...
"Boy, if it were you, what would you do in that situation? A god you devoutly believe in requires you to do these things, and this is for the safety of all mankind..."
Perhaps because he didn't expect Li Ang to say that he understood him, Kavala paused and asked about Li Ang.
"Me? I think if it were me, I would definitely not be able to fight for fifty years... To destroy all the codes, it is not necessary to use direct conquest - just use a high reward to induce people to get it back, right?"
Li Ang smiled, "As Supreme King of the Pande Continent, you can afford any reward... Why do you have to fight? Besides... Eunomia orders you, can't you order others? There are so many people in the entire continent, who told you to do this yourself?"
Kavala was silent.
After a long silence, just when Li Ang thought Kavala would not reply again, he heard Kavala let out a faint sigh.
"Huh... you are right. But at that time, I was just a warrior who devoutly believed in Goddess of Order. If Goddess asked me to conquer, I would lead the troops to conquer... and God's code will corrode people's souls. At that time, only Noldo Elves and I were not affected, but Noldo Elves was unwilling to leave Pande Continent to fight overseas. I never thought of other ways..."
Look at this, Kavala's brain was not very flexible at that time...
It's true that people with flexible minds are usually not very religious...
"You didn't want to be at the mercy of Goddess anymore, so you brought Aziz Dahaka back from Vingardarian Island? Did you want to kill Goddess at that time?"
Li Ang did not laugh at Kavala. Kavala conquered the mainland by force and became Supreme King. Naturally, he has inertial thinking.
At that time, Kavala probably only had the glory of Goddess and the glory of the battlefield in his mind. It was normal for him to only consider direct conquest when encountering problems. Including when he was dissatisfied with Goddess, he probably also thought of direct confrontation.
This is not surprising, no matter what age, sects will indeed try to destroy other faiths by directly using force to conquer.
Even in modern society, many people have this way of thinking - whenever they talk about topics between countries, they only think of wars and conquests, military strength and equipment, or who is good and who is bad, who is good and who is evil...
However, the current Kavala is definitely no longer such a person.
Li Ang I don't believe that a person who has been Snake Worship Cult High Priest for decades can still be so simple.
"I didn't plan to deal with Goddess at that time... Ha... How can humans fight against gods? And I didn't even know that humans could become gods at that time... I just wanted to live according to my own will, that's all."
Kavala smiled self-deprecatingly, "Actually, at that time, I really just wanted to live a few more years. I just wanted to see more of the country I built and spend more time with my grandson. Really. After asking many people, I started building my own temples and statues. It is said that this can lead to immortality..."
"At that time, your reputation should be higher than that of all gods, and there should be many people who believed in you... What you got through the temple should not only be immortality."
Li Ang once again raised his head and looked at the statue of Kavala. Every statue of Kavala, whether riding a horse or not, no matter what action it was doing, was the image of a knight wearing a battle armor and holding a sword and shield.
"Yes, I didn't expect at the time that I would gain a lot of faith in just a few years and become a god! But it was precisely because I became a god that I discovered that I had made a big mistake..."
Kavala continued in a low voice, "My body was still alive at that time! I became a god while I was alive! But I can't use any Divine Art at all, because my body can ban demons!"
"Eunomia also discovered that I had become a new god... She told me the story of the god, and asked me to immediately go to sea to expedition Barkley to destroy the last two codes. Since I could not use Divine Art, she did not do anything to me. But she did not allow me to stay in the Pande Continent anymore, and warned me that as long as I return to the mainland, she will personally come and kill me!"
"I was already eighty-one years old at that time. But I could still only leave Pendor with the expeditionary force. A God of Knights who cannot use Divine Art is no different from an ordinary old man..."
"But I didn't go to Barkley, I went to the Vengdarian Continent. Originally, I just wanted to go to the ice field destroyed by Magic Storm, avoid Eunomia's surveillance there, and try to find a way to use Divine Art or magic... There, I discovered an underground ruin left by Sindar Elves."
"It was a large building buried deep underground. It was not destroyed, but it was completely frozen."
"There are the corpses of an elven army, thousands of corpses, most of them Noldor, and all of them are drained of blood. Only one Sindar Elves is unscathed, but it is also sealed in ice... In addition, there is a huge completely sealed metal cellar, with a winged snake-shaped mark on the cellar door."
"Out of curiosity, I opened the cellar door... it was full of frozen blood, and there was a humanoid monster with snake scales all over its body... and, after thawing, the monster came to life! It had strong fighting power, but it had no intelligence and would only obey the orders of the first person it saw, just like a newly hatched chicken or duck."
"After that monster came back to life, I realized that I had lost the ability to gain faith... This was not because of my own magic-forbidden physique, but because of that monster - it could prevent everything related to magic or Divine Art!"
"Shortly afterwards, all my expeditionary troops died... died from Red Death. Their whole bodies were festered and their skin fell off. They looked like Fallen One when they died."
"I myself also died at that time. But I did not die from Red Death, but because I lost the blessing of my faith, my body was weak, and I froze to death in the ice ruins... After all, I was eighty-three years old at that time."
"But my soul did not die, but at that time I didn't know how long I could live in Spirit Body state, and I had to have a body to sail away from the Vengdarian Continent..."
"You are a very smart person. You should already know everything... The monster in the box is Aziz Dahaka. It was the only body I could use at that time - the others were dead and frozen into ice, and only Aziz Dahaka could move."
Having said this, Kavala stopped.
After a pause, he asked Li Ang: "Now, let me ask you again... what would you do if it were you?"
Li Ang was silent for a while. To be honest, Kavala was indeed quite sad.
I have been used by the devout Goddess of Order all my life, and I have never been able to enjoy it after fighting for a lifetime.
After using it, he became a god because he was unwilling to die of old age. However, he was expelled from the mainland and could not return to the country he founded. He could not even see his descendants.
In the end, the old man's body froze to death alone in the deserted ice field, surrounded by only a large frozen corpse and a monster created by Sindar Elves - and only that monster could move. It was the only body that Kavala's Spirit Body could use.
"So, you used Az Dahaka's body... to go to the Buckley Continent..."
Li Ang sighed, otherwise what else can be done?
Kavala At that time, I just wanted to live, it was instinctive.
"Haha... No one is nobler than anyone else... Yes, I have taken over the body of Aziz Dahaka - it does not have Spirit Body at all, because it does not belong to this world at all. It is actually just a humanoid weapon made by Sindar Elves."
"I took the corpses of those elves, jammed the ship's cables and masts with the corpses, and drove the warship to the Buckley Continent alone... I only had one person and could not sail the ship back to Pendor."
"Furthermore, my expeditionary force all died from Red Death. I don't dare to go back to Pendor directly. I don't want my kingdom to be infected with Red Death. I really don't want to."
"But I didn't expect that Az Dahaka would gradually weaken after leaving the blood in that box... It is an artificial puppet, and it must continuously supply magic power with Noldo Elves's blood, otherwise it will die soon!"
"But there was no blood in the Noldo Elves corpses I brought back. Buckley Continent couldn't find any Elf Blood supplement... and the only one Sindar Elves, that is, Maltis, she is actually not dead. She woke up after the ice was lifted. But her soul is incomplete and cannot be controlled at all. She can only obey simple orders to a limited extent, and as soon as she wakes up, she turns those elf soldiers into undead..."
"But I still can't use Divine Art, because Aziz Dahaka's body has a stronger ability to restrain magic..."
"I had no choice but to try to establish Snake Worship Cult in the Buckley Continent and worship Aziz Dahaka as a god... because my old body lived for two more years after gaining faith. I want to use faith to maintain the survival of this body."
"With the previous experience, I successfully created a god again. Aziz Dahaka's Spirit Body is myself. I can indeed get all the faith... But it's of no use. Aziz Dahaka's body continues to weaken..."
"I didn't know that Spirit Body would be free after death. I just wanted to live, even in the ugly body of Aziz Dahaka... so I had no other choice..."
"I know that there is a place with a large amount of Noldo Elves's blood... It was a blood pool created to suppress Gloomy Eye. You should have discovered it, right?"
"So I have to go back to the Pande Continent."
"I sneaked into the blood pool of Noble Council and solved the problem of survival..."
"I even used that body to enter Temple of Order and found the code of Eunomia - her own code was not destroyed... but I destroyed it. Moreover, I merged the code into another thing..."
Kavala probably said he was tired, and his voice became quieter and quieter.
"You made it into a ring? This is the one on my hand? No wonder this ring got the response of Eunomia... Then, where did the gryphon in the ring come from?"
Li Ang has realized what the Codex has become and been fused into.
"Haha... haven't you dealt with another Aigrem? In addition to occupying a human body, this Abyssal Spirit can only live in the code... You haven't even thought of the origin of the gryphon?"
Kavala laughed.
