Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 530: 530
The Place of Burial

They followed the flow of the river, killing, chasing, and moving forward.

Distorted dragons and crazy humans had their own obsessions, yearning for the final result. They were like two fish swimming desperately in the torrent of fate, bobbing up and down in this liquid substance that should not exist in the world. No matter what, the end was ahead.

This river would take them to where they wanted to go.

Kant was laughing maniacally.

The giant dragon also roared incessantly.

There was no point in negotiating, begging, or suggesting. There was only one solution left. It was primitive and pure. Fight, kill, and until the enemy fell. This was the tradition and instinct that had been passed down through countless eras. It was the most effective solution…Physically eliminate dissidents.

Therefore, Tracy slowly became crazy as he fought back.

They fought, they killed, they chased. Whether it was humans or dragons, they all turned back into beasts.

Time, space, matter, and spirit seemed to have lost their meaning in the Purple River, which was filled with energy. Both Kant and Tracy no longer cared about where they were or where they had come to. The Aberrant Dragon no longer cared about his race and glory. Kant had thrown life and death, protection, and promises to the back of his mind. All they wanted was to kill each other and remove obstacles. Hence, their thoughts became extremely persistent. They were pure due to madness, and endless mysterious elements surrounded their bodies. They were even unified.

Then, there was a response.

In an instant, the liquid elements became extremely hot. Light flashed in front of them, as if the flow of the river had instantly increased by a thousand times, pushing them forward like a flood pushing two fish. They followed the wind and whistled down, crossing an infinite distance in an instant…No, the word instant was not even suitable.

Because what was also crossed… Perhaps there was still time.

From flowing to stagnation, from speeding to stillness, perhaps it only took an instant. A second ago, he was still drifting in the endless River of Origin, but in the next moment, he was already in midair and falling.

Looking around, it was darkness, and the endless darkness was dotted with stars.

The mighty River of Origin was nowhere to be seen.

The swarm of Graywind bugs dispersed and formed a disc beneath his feet. The Star Right Ring spread its wings of light and protected Kant as he slowly landed. Beneath his feet was a platform that floated in the void. The brass-colored ground extended forward. This mysterious and unfamiliar domain was extremely vast. It floated in the unknown void and there was actually oxygen.

Kant’s eyes glowed with phoenix fire. The Twilight Moon royal family’s supreme eye magic, which could see through all illusions, was useless here. Even the Fire Stealer’s Eye of the Source could not see through the brass floor, the giant doors, the pillars, and the stairs. It was as if everything came from an incomprehensible mystery.

Most importantly, Divine King Creation’s space-time divine power had bestowed him with sharp senses of space and time. However, here, he could only feel the disorder, rupture, and separation.

Kant’s expression changed drastically.

Because he could no longer sense the spatial anchor point left on the surface.

The coordinates and location of the white fog world were ethereal.

In this chaotic dimension, he was unable to open the door.

Kant turned around and looked around. In the dark distance, there were shining stars, an unknown territory, and the road ahead. He could not see the end. It was extremely unfamiliar. Everything had left him.

Just like at the beginning.

He looked around in a daze, circle after circle. His face was expressionless, his eyes were calm, his body was stiff, he did not speak, his expression did not change, his eyes did not change, there was nothing.

With a loud bang, Tracy landed on the ground.

The Aberrant Dragon looked at the unknown realm that was shining in the starry sky. Here! Was this the place between the heavens and the earth? Is this the divine domain that the Dragon God promised me?”

Then, his cheers turned into shock and anger. Why didn’t I hear Akatum’s decree? Why did the River of Origin disappear? What was this place? Why didn’t a holy dragon come to receive him?

Why didn’t my god appear in front of me? What is this place?”

Kant turned around and looked at him with a blank expression.

” Kant!” Tracis roared, spitting out venom from his bloody mouth. His four wings flapped and his tentacles waved. Is this your doing? What is this place?”

Blades of light extended from his arms, and the swarm of insects condensed into sharp razors.

The visor closed.

Kant’s eyes shone with a dazzling purple light.

His voice was so calm that it was distorted.

“Burial ground.”

Sprinting and leaping, his body rotated, and his blade of light flashed as he slashed down furiously.

Red Maple Lucerne.

Maple Leaf Palace, audience hall.

” Goethe was founded for hundreds of years, but the butcher’s knife of Tedarell never fell on his own people. The descendants of the Seven Heroes ruled this country with morality and wisdom, but you wielded a bloody blade and slaughtered innocent people with violence and terror. You destroyed the glory of your ancestors!”

The fierce reprimand was aimed at the delicate flower.

In the audience hall, there was a dense crowd of nobles in luxurious robes, spellcasters with aloof postures, soldiers in armor, civil servants in capable clothes, classes, factions, and the leaders of Goethe’s politics gathered here. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the beautiful figure.

Goethe’s little princess, the beautiful pearl, Tina Tedarell. Before today, people’s impression of her was that she was a beautiful, dignified, weak, and delicate princess. It was a legendary experience where she volunteered to go to the Empire and experienced setbacks and tribulations. It was also a legendary love story where she met Kant.

But now, they were shocked and in disbelief.

The massacre, suppression, and bloodshed that shook Lucerne were actually done by this weak princess.

Everyone’s gaze shifted from Her Highness Tina’s calm and beautiful face to the object in her right hand. Princess Goethe of the Land of Beauty had silently set a record. She was probably the first princess in Goethe, or even the entire world, to hold an axe at the center of a country’s discussion.

She was here today to face the surging accusations, criticism, and crowds.

The bloody suppression only temporarily deterred the restless black hand. Tina’s iron-blooded and decisive suppression made the speculators and schemers wary. They saw her as someone Tina could rely on. No matter what, Kant, who wielded the power of deterrence, was still a sharp sword hanging over everyone’s heads.

However, this did not mean that the probing and conspiracy would stop.

After all, whether he had something to rely on or was bluffing, he would eventually find out.

As for what to probe?

There was no shortage of self-righteous idiots and chess pieces who thought they were chess players.

He only needed to push it lightly and it would cause a huge wave.

It was like the young official who was furious and impassioned at this moment.

Born in poverty, he was selected as an apprentice due to his talent in magic. Due to his limited talent, he gave up the path of arcana. Relying on the knowledge he learned during his apprenticeship and his new horizons, he started to enter politics, passed the judicial examination, and became a civil servant.

He was full of ambition and had no background, so he liked to gamble.

” This is a betrayal of our ancestors,” he said proudly.” It’s a betrayal of the pioneering spirit and Goethe tradition!” Most importantly, Princess Tina, why did you…”

Before he could finish, Tina said coldly,” Therefore, for hundreds of years, Goethe’s national strength has been weakened, and he has lost his glory. He has been invaded and bullied by foreign enemies. As a result, speculators and selfish people can bet on both sides, but true patriots have sacrificed themselves heroically. This kind of behavior must be stopped. The blood and screams of traitors will deter those with evil intentions…At this special moment, all methods are allowed!”

“Including killing the innocent? Including killing people who speak out for the future of this country?”

The young official stepped forward and said sternly,”Then kill me too!” I will use my blood to awaken the numb people and let them see what is right! What is wrong!”

Tina watched his performance quietly and shook her head.” I won’t kill you.”

The other party’s eyes flashed with a trace of joy, wanting to continue provoking him.

But immediately after, Tina said,” You might think that you’ve made the right bet. You’re scolding me here and accusing us to gain political chips for yourself and to charge into battle for your master. You think that I don’t dare to kill you because all the nobles, generals, lords, and lords are watching right now. If I order you to be executed in front of them, it will definitely incur everyone’s opposition and disgust…That’s why you’re so unscrupulous.”

“Right?”

“This is the most shameless accusation. I…” The man said without hesitation.

” But you’re wrong. I’m not here to kill you not because I’m afraid, but because killing you now would be too easy for you.” Tina shifted her gaze away from his face and looked at everyone’s face as if she was memorizing something.” I want to wait for Kant to return. I want to wait for Kant to return with victory and results. I want to wait for your master behind the scenes, the Council, the elves, the Empire, and all the conspirators to give up. I want to wait for you disgusting dogs to lose your protection and promises. I want to wait for you to cower in endless fear and regret…”

“I’ll take everything from you and let you die in agony.”

The official’s expression suddenly changed.

Many people’s expressions changed.

Because Tina was obviously hinting at something.

Moreover, he did not hide it at all.

For a moment, they did not even know what to say.

After a moment, a Spell Caster coughed lightly.” Your Highness Tina, President Oshrein asked me to convey his opinion. The Royal Law Society is concerned and uneasy about Tedarell’s recent actions…”

Tina’s gaze turned back.” I’ve already explained the specific situation in the open letter. I hope that the Spell Casters of Goethe will understand the meaning of the motherland. With your wisdom and vision, can’t you see who instigated the chaos in Goethe? Weren’t you all Goethe people before you became members of the Arcane Magic Council?”

Before the mage could answer, another noble shouted,”What right do you have to question this?” Weren’t you a Goethe before you became the fiancée of the people of Aurora? You’re only protecting your Aurora lover now! You can even betray the interests of your own country and even slaughter your compatriots!”

“Hong San!” Tina said sternly,” Remember his name!”

Hong San, who had made a name for himself in Lucerne thanks to the shocking shooting and cannon-firing in the past two days, took a step forward. His gaze passed through the crowd and swept across the speaker’s face.

“Yes, Mistress.” He said,” The illegitimate son of the Richter family. I’ve noted him down.”

“Your Highness Tina! Don’t you think this behavior is too much?”

“Is it too much? Are you drawing a clear line between Kant and this country? Then why didn’t he say that he was an outsider when he joined the Songmoon War? Why didn’t he say that he was an outsider when he annihilated five elf legions in Valentan? Why didn’t he say that he was an outsider when he rushed to the aid of Lucerne and repelled the expeditionary army?”

” He’s still fighting for Goethe’s interests,” Tina bellowed.” But you cower because of fear. You’re afraid of the pressure from the other countries and the Arcane Magic Council. But aren’t you afraid of Kant?” If the elves wanted to destroy Goethe, they would have to send hundreds of thousands of troops to cross the sea. Kant only needed a forbidden spell to destroy Lucerne, but you are not afraid of him?”

“But he clearly did it for himself…”

“He’s not! Also, are you saying this for the sake of this country?”

“You’ve screwed up-”

“I will carve this sentence on the tombstones of you and your family!”

“Think about yourself! A few months ago, you borrowed money from the great nobles and merchants in the Empire and promised them great interest. Now, they are already preparing to ask for immediate repayment!”

One after another, at first, it was just a few people clamoring. Later, the chaotic environment made more people with ulterior motives start shouting.

They were all scared out of their wits by the cruelty of the Songyue War, and this time, it wasn’t an attack from the non-humankind, but a targeted war. They could negotiate, they could compromise, they could be roped in, and there were benefits.

“The fleets of the other countries are approaching the Blue Wave Province. The Empire’s army has made a move at the border. The Elf army in the country has not retreated yet. Where is Kant?”

“Goethe is our country! It was not a puppet of the people of Aurora! The current situation is that we are facing the hostility of the entire world, but Kant is nowhere to be seen!”

“Why did you block the news? Why did he monopolize that substance? Goethe is a small country. We don’t have the right to fight, and we don’t want to fight! Why don’t you use this new resource to befriend the various countries in exchange for protection?”

“This is Goethe’s land! It was Goethe’s resources! We have the right to decide his use, not to follow Kant’s wishes and get involved in a war with the entire world!”

” He saved us, and we are willing to repay him. But if the reward he asks for is to become enemies with the whole world with him, then we refuse!”

“Why are you giving the orders? Why is the Grand Duke’s signet ring in your hands? Did you conspire with Kant to plot against the archduke? We demand that we immediately…”

The Snowfall Sword Saint, who was standing behind Tina, gripped his sword hilt tightly. Lantisdon, the second son of the archduke who was in the military, wanted to say something several times, but he was stopped by his little sister’s gaze.

Before this, Tina had warned him not to make a sound unless it was a critical moment. Military power and violence were the last resort and protection, and they were also the thread that people feared the most. Therefore, he must not take a stand and make the wavering people realize this.

He could only watch silently as his once gentle and elegant little sister fiercely countered the surging accusations.

” I don’t care if you are stupid or evil. I don’t care who gave you the promise, and I don’t care who your new master is. Kant is not dead yet! You’re right! Goethe is a small country, so we have no choice! You dare not reject the requests of other countries, but can you reject Kant’s orders? If he wanted to have the qualifications to reject, this was his only hope!

Self-reliance! Self-reliance! Self-improvement!”

“This is the path I chose for Goethe!”

Hysterical quarrels, curses, and roars.

Reformists, patriots, compromises, opportunists, cowards.

People were arguing because of their positions, fears, and interests.

However, the saddest thing was…Even though there were quite a number of people who were not pawns bought and used by the various countries, they still did not agree with Tina’s choice.

Why did they have to fight?

Why did Goethe monopolize the mysterious element?

A protected vassal would be safer, and the people would be able to recuperate.

Goethe was a small country, and a small country should have the awareness of a small country.

Why did he follow Kant to risk his life for wealth?

We’re already rich!

The intense argument and chaotic clamor finally ended with a loud bang. The side door was pushed open with a bang, and a majestic figure stepped into the audience hall. Archduke Rechnos was dressed in full attire. Under everyone’s silent and surprised gazes, he strode toward the throne, holding his sword and looking down like a lion.

“.. Grand Duke!”

“Goethe needs your guidance and salvation!” someone shouted.

Goethe’s ruler turned a deaf ear to this and stopped in front of Tina.

The flush on Tina’s face due to excitement and fury gradually faded and turned pale.

“Tina…” Archduke Rechnos said softly,” I’m sorry.”

PS1:.. F * ck, these days of writing were really difficult. It was finally almost over.

” P.S. 2: F * ck, it started with the Graywind swarm. Not long after I wrote it, the locust plague in Africa exploded. It scared me to death. Fortunately, the ball died in India. If it flew to China…” F * ck f * ck f

P.S. 3: What a f * cking coincidence. When I was thinking about it, I was thinking about an African insect plague. The first thought was scarabs, Egypt. Then I thought about it, scarabs are dung beetles. If I wrote this, you guys would definitely slander my reputation and say that I’m playing that thing again. Then I thought of a locust plague. If I thought of it, I’d write it. Then…Now that he thought about it, he felt a little scared.
