Glory Extinguished, Humanity at Its Darkest!
"From a young age, I firmly believed that justice will prevail, because the loser is the bad guy."
Achilles' face began to distort to varying degrees, and half of his body also began to mutate!
This abrupt stitching, this pieced-together flesh—there's no mistake, this is the Undead Creatures created by the Styx!
Disgusting!
No one knows the concept of hatred better than Styx, an Undead Creatures that seeks the best.
That is, to stitch together the advantages or outstanding organs and limbs of various organisms to create Undead Creatures that combines the strengths of many!
He had already achieved remarkable success in this research many years ago.
But so far, he has never created an abomination that reaches Legendary Grade!
If you were to ask why, the main reason would be a lack of material.
Apart from the black dragon beneath him, Styx had no higher-level life materials in his possession.
Initially, Styx chose his young nephew.
His nephew possessed a terrifying talent for both magic and combat, and this extraordinary potential gave Styx hope of becoming the next legend!
If you raise him from childhood until he becomes a legend, and use him as the foundation of hatred, then he will be a legend at the very least!
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. His nephew appeared honest and simple, but in reality, he was just as deep and cunning as his older brother!
When Achilles first discovered the Styx experiment, he did not scream or show surprise; instead, he showed great interest.
After some probing, Styx discovered that he was genuinely interested in his experiments.
That doesn't seem like an act.
Styx gradually lowered his guard against him and would occasionally tell him about his research and knowledge, while also teaching him necromancy.
Then that kid turned around and sold Styx.
Years later, Styx, having evaded the Empire's pursuit, fled to the Western Continent, where he started from scratch and established the Dark Assembly.
He summoned a large number of necromancers and forbidden scholars and restarted the Abomination Project.
After he left, the area around the River Styx became deserted.
Achilles joined the church, and it took him less than two years from the moment he took his vow to becoming a paladin.
After that, he remained silent for a long time, until one day, his strength began to improve by leaps and bounds.
That same year, he gained the attention of the church, and he said he would make more vows.
The church was initially worried that he would break his vow, so they simply increased the number of his vows to fourteen.
As a result, after a period of observation, Achilles perfectly upheld his creed.
After that, the church began to gradually add more and more creeds to him, until there were more than two hundred...
Achilles became a legendary Holy Warrior!
They fought the dragon in Dongshan, Pilgrimage Snow Mountain to slay the trolls, and destroyed the extremist organization, Cannibal Paradise.
His status, identity, and reputation all began to grow rapidly that year!
He became the youngest legend in the world and even gained the Pope's approval, who designated him as the next Pope.
The church even gave him two ancient artifacts Celestial Guardian (amulet) and the Armor of United Heart (armor)!
People only saw this glory, but they didn't know that this so-called glory and honor was all a lie.
He is an Oathbreaker; his vows have long been broken!
It was only in his second year as a paladin that he saw celestial beings descend from the sky for the first time!
She rode a winged Winged Horse, and golden blood rained down from the sky!
As her life hung in the balance, she sensed the radiant power surging within Achilles, and so she descended before him as an angel and begged him for help!
But as Achilles said, the response to the Celestial Creature was his own sharp blade!
Regardless of what the Celestial Creature were, he had indeed killed a living, humanoid being, and this event left a deep impression on him.
This gave him an idea.
If any Celestial Creature find him, they must be there to kill him!
So when Qin Leng brought him to Earth, his first reaction upon seeing the angel was to kill!
Just as he had personally killed that Celestial Creature and dismembered its body, taking it to the desolate River Styx!
After his uncle left, the church destroyed all the experimental equipment here.
But the church was unaware that there was actually a laboratory underground.
Achilles did not report this laboratory to the church.
In that laboratory, he combined the angel's broken body with his own, creating a less-than-perfect first version of the body.
It wasn't until later, after he gradually replaced all the parts of his body that belonged to the angels, that he reached the legendary level!
But such things are destined to be kept in the dark, so Achilles had to find an excuse.
The church's creed is the best explanation!
Without a doubt, no one can possibly manage so many beliefs!
No human being can be absolutely good; humans are inherently dark creatures!
Perfection itself is a lie!
True goodness can never exist in a person; if it does, it is evil!
However, at least Achilles did manage to maintain this facade for over twenty years without revealing any flaws.
But behind his back, all those who had seen his true face died.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be the rumor that Achilles also had a small sword.
That's true.
One day, a child discovered his secret and questioned him about why he didn't help his grandmother.
So the child and his grandmother went to see God.
Perhaps the real Achilles was indeed dark and morbid, but he had a clear understanding of himself.
He knows what kind of person he is.
He also knew what he wanted.
He wants power, wealth, fame, and strength—he wants it all!
"If it weren't for you... I estimate that not long after, I would become the next pope, enjoying greater power than the king, and realize the second step of my grand plan."
"Now, everything is gone. All my hard work over the years has been ruined by you!"
Achilles' face was not the same on both sides; one side of his face was more feminine, while the other side was his original appearance!
His roar became even sharper, like the howl of a banshee!
Now that the empire is gone and the church is gone, all his previous efforts have been in vain!
Now he has no choice but to settle for second best and get the wedding ring to open the treasure vault!
At least taking the money and running away is better than ending up with nothing!
But these people, these people who came from who-knows-where, they are just so strangely unreasonable!
That person seems to be able to stop time; that person can ignore all defenses!
These two people are like the rules themselves!
"Is there Second Tier?"
Seeing this, Arthur picked up the holy sword from the ground again, "Come on, I haven't finished warming up yet."
Looking at Arthur's face, Achilles suddenly let out a cold laugh.
Now that the truth has been revealed, he might as well stop pretending!
With a wave of his hand, the holy sword in Arthur's hand instantly returned to Achilles' hand!
"Sanctuary!"
He plunged his sword into the ground, and a platinum key floated up in front of him!
Golden light instantly enveloped the world before them, and Achilles' figure became illusory at that moment!
Upon seeing this, the Frost King flicked his wrist and activated Absolute Freeze!
But strangely, this time, his abilities failed to affect Achilles!
"Something's wrong, Arthur, come back!"
