This was a transaction that I both hated and was moved by.
Even on his deathbed, the older brother couldn't let go of his useless younger brother. So, in the last moments of his life twenty-six years ago, he made a pact with the devil lurking in the shadows, sacrificing his soul and surrendering his body to the devil. His only condition was that after his death, the devil would protect his foolish younger brother and ensure his survival.
My brother is already dead.
It is because he died that I was able to survive.
Even more incredibly, I discovered that this devil from Hell was secretly making some shady deals with the Holy Church.
Did God and the devil make a deal?
If this got out, it would be unbelievable.
what do I do?
The empire was destroyed in my hands.
I am a sinner!
If my brother were still alive—I mean the real me—he would never want to see me become a sinner against the Human Clan because of him.
I was wrong!
I... need to make amends!
This must be remedied.
However, I have lost control of the Dark Demon Armor Bastürk. This Hell weapon's power surpasses mine, and moreover, it has used Hell secret arts, with the help of the Holy Church, to create a large number of Great Sun Class Death Warrior...
The sins are beyond redemption.
My remedial actions were quickly discovered.
And so, the conflict finally broke out.
I am no match for that devil.
The entire royal family and capital city were transformed into a world of the dead under the wrath of the Dark Demon Armor.
I was severely wounded in battle and fled to the last hiding place of the Anzhi Empire, a treasure vault unknown even to the demons, carrying key items from the demon plan. It was relatively secluded, with concealment and blessing runes that allowed me to avoid the demons' search.
If anyone ever sees my diary, my fellow countrymen, I dare not beg for your forgiveness for my sins. Let me be condemned to eternal Hell and suffer the torments of purgatory. But please listen to me: remember this: those five thousand-plus suits of Mithril armor must not fall into the hands of the evil forces of Hell, for in their hands they will come alive and become unparalleled killing machines, just like the Dark Demon Armor Bastürk. They will become a burning legion, bringing evil and disaster to every corner of the continent.
The method of making such killing tools is likely something the Holy Church also coveted.
Although there is no conclusive evidence, I can sense that the priests' goals are not so simple. Their ambitions are no less than those of the forces of Hell. If I'm not mistaken, the priests have already obtained what they needed. Therefore, if possible, those who come after should not let the Mithril armor fall into the hands of the Church, otherwise, it would be a disaster.
Furthermore, two thousand meters underground beneath the Anzhi Imperial Palace lies a vast sealed space, where the souls of seventy-two Hell demons who perished in the ancient era of gods and demons are sealed. The power of the seal is waning, making it increasingly difficult to restrain them. Only true heroes and powerful individuals, with absolute divine strength, can bolster the seal and eternally imprison these demons there. They cannot be destroyed; only by relying on the seals left behind by the gods of ancient times can they be bound.
However, you must remember that anyone with strength below the Demigod level should never go there, otherwise they will become nourishment for the demons.
My dear brother, resting peacefully in the embrace of the stars, your soul was always so pure and noble. May you find peace in Paradise.
All the disasters started because of me.
Let me forever endure the scorching flames of purgatory, and accept the condemnation of those souls who perished in the disaster!
May the day come when the Blood Sin is forgiven and light shines upon the earth.
This concludes my diary entry.
Moreover, the final, lengthy passage was written entirely in blood, mottled, intricate, and fragmented, yet it conveyed a general meaning. It must have been written while severely injured. One can imagine the immense regret and resentment Anzhi felt in his final moments. It turned out that his elder brother had already died, and before his death, in order to protect his younger brother, he had made a deal with the devil... All the calamities stemmed from his kindness in protecting his brother.
But the path to evil can also be paved with good intentions.
The lives of these two brothers are shrouded in conspiracy and tragedy.
Death, in fact, is the most perfect ending.
After reading the diary, Sun Fei remained silent for a long time, then sighed softly.
Sun Fei finally understood what Emperor of Anzhi's secret was. Although that part of the diary had been torn out, everything was clear—and the younger brother tore it up perhaps because he was worried that the secret would be leaked and bring disaster to his older brother, so he destroyed the record.
The bond between these brothers is truly admirable.
Their tragedy was caused by human greed. The infighting and backstabbing among members of the royal family led to this tragedy... It was human greed and cruelty that allowed evil to take advantage of the situation.
Humanity is the true original sin.
sad!
What a pity!
Pitiful!
hateful!
A gentle shake of the head dispelled negative emotions.
Sun Fei began to ponder carefully; the contents of this diary revealed a great deal of information.
The purpose of those five thousand suits of Mithril armor was to create combat tools similar to the Dark Demon Armor Bastürk.
This secret technique is truly terrifying.
Sun Fei had personally experienced the power of the Dark Demon Armor Bastürk. If the Anzhi people were to create five thousand killing machines equivalent to the power of the Dark Demon Armor Bastürk, it was conceivable that almost no empire would be able to Resist such a Burning Legion. They could easily defeat all enemies and spread undead and evil throughout the continent.
Moreover, the one who orchestrated all of this was likely one of the seventy-two demons of Hell who escaped from the sealed space mentioned in the diary.
If Sun Fei wasn't mistaken, the terrifying being hiding within the Grim Reaper's Scythe should be the entire devil. However, whether it was its true form or an avatar was unknown. It was a pity that it tricked him and escaped; otherwise, if he had captured it, he could have learned more.
Even more shocking is that the Holy Church somehow learned of this demon's existence and actually made a deal with it. Undoubtedly, based on the information revealed in the diary, the Church's goal was also to obtain the secret technique for creating God Level combat puppets—which should be the content of Chapter Forty-Five [ Hell Scripture ] mentioned by the golden-haired priest, the content recorded on that pale white bone fragment.
Fortunately, this bone fragment is now in Sun Fei's hands.
Moreover, these five thousand suits of Mithril also fell into Sun Fei's hands.
"Doesn't this mean..." Realizing this, Sun Fei's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Second update.
