The more he felt the aura on Rhode's body, the more surprised Edmund became.
The power derived from the authority of the water element is a unique ability that only the monarch of the water element is qualified to control. Let alone the others who use the power of the water element, even if they want to find the location of the water element authority, it is as difficult as climbing. Something about heaven. However, at this moment, the aura appeared intact on Rhodes. If Edmund hadn't known that Rhodes had inherited the power of the air element authority, he might have thought that he had become the new water element monarch.
"This is impossible. How could the water element authority belonging to Salil appear in your body? Not long ago, I just received a message from Salil asking for help, and then I specially came to inform other elemental monarchs of the news. You are How did you obtain the authority of the water element?"
Even the usually calm earth element monarch couldn't help but change his expression after carefully feeling the aura of water element authority on Rhodes. If the water element authority really appeared on Rhodes, then Sariel in the ocean , it is very likely that something unexpected has happened, otherwise, according to Edmund's understanding of Sariel, she will definitely not hand over the water element authority to others.
For elemental monarchs, elemental authority is the source of their power. Without elemental authority, they can no longer be called elemental monarchs. There is no doubt that in the eyes of elemental monarchs, the importance of elemental authority is as important as theirs. Life is the same. Unless he is about to fall, any elemental monarch who is still rational will not give up his elemental power to others. Doing so is the same as giving up the throne of the monarch.
After realizing the power of the water element in Rhodes' body, Edmund was particularly vigilant for a moment. Recalling Salil's request for help not long ago, Edmund could not relax for a moment. He extremely suspected that Salil was the Because he was attacked by Rhodes, he asked other elemental monarchs for help. He immediately asked Rhodes:
"What did you do to Saryl?"
Sensing the change in Edmund's momentum, Rhodes just shook his head lightly. The anger originating from the earth was even more violent than the anger of the ocean, not to mention that Edmund in front of him had liberated all the power belonging to the authority of the earth element. If he offended Without him, I was afraid that the Magic City would not be peaceful in the future, so I told what happened to Salil one by one:
"I think you must have misunderstood. Not long ago, I also received a signal for help from Sariel. It was not me who threatened her life, but the elves in Eli. Although Flem and I rushed to the scene as soon as possible, The plane of water element, but after all, it was a bit slow. When I arrived, Salil had already fallen. In order to prevent the power of water element from falling into the hands of those creatures with malicious intentions, I had to find a way to control it. "
After listening to Rhodes telling what happened, especially when he heard that Sariel, who was crossing the ocean, was actually shot and killed by a half-elf hero with an arrow, Edmund's expression became complicated, filled with a bit of regret. , and finally sighed deeply:
"It seems that those doomsday prophecies are all true. The candidates for the four elemental monarchs have not changed for hundreds of years. Unexpectedly, two people died one after another when the doomsday came. First, Thelma, who was in charge of the atmosphere, and then the Sariel, who rules the ocean, and the elemental monarch who once stood at the top of the world, no longer has the power of the past. Who knows what will happen to the remaining elemental monarchs? Maybe one day, that bad luck will fall on them. Me, or Flame, who controls the flames."
At the end, even Edmund showed a somewhat sad look: "In the past, I had a good relationship with the other elemental monarchs. I persuaded them to get out of the doomsday as soon as possible and not to try to take back all the power of the elements in the past. With the help of the elements, The power of the monarch, even if the creatures from the main plane struggle here in darkness, will not affect us in the elemental plane. But in the end, no one listens to me. They insist on inserting themselves into the doomsday battle. Now that my feet have suffered a backlash from fate, I can’t blame others.”
From the words of the Earth Elemental Lord, Rhodes seemed to notice something. It seemed that there was a fatigue that was difficult for ordinary people to detect in the heart of the giant man in front of him.
As the earth elemental monarch who symbolizes the earth that carries all things, Edmund is as indifferent to the world as the mountains standing in the wilderness, and is unwilling to participate in other elemental monarchs to take back the power of all the elements in the world, leaving the main plane in a state of death. They do not want to get involved in the doomsday war and join forces with those ambitious doomsday kings. Seeing the two monarchs he knew well in the past fall one after another, he felt very uncomfortable.
Rhodes said slowly: "Do you think that by staying in the earth elemental plane, not becoming enemies with other doomsday kings, and not taking back all the earth elements in the world, you can protect yourself and escape this doomsday disaster? The answer? Obviously it's impossible. The Doomsday War has already begun, and no one can escape from it. If you don't want to avoid all this, others will let you go. If the Lord of Hell finally wins the Doomsday War, he will use his supreme power to The power in the Doomsday Blade eradicates all zombies who are not heroes, including you naturally. He will find you in the earth elemental plane and finally kill you. At that time, you will feel regretful as to why you were there in the first place. When I had the chance to stop this, I didn't take action, but stayed in the earth elemental plane and stood by."
Listening to Rhodes's chilling words, Edmund couldn't defend himself for a moment. Judging from the various signs shown on the earth, what Rhodes said was most likely true. He wanted to purify the entire world and make the world more peaceful. The Lord of Hell, where everyone becomes a hero, will not easily let him off as the earth elemental monarch. If he avoids the battle blindly, at the end of the Doomsday War, what awaits him will still not end well.
"It's too early to say this now." Unable to refute what Rhodes said, Edmund had to change the topic and said, "Who knows who the final winner of the Doomsday War is? No matter how powerful the Lord of Hell is, I don't think Not as good as the Stigmata in the clouds. The four elemental monarchs in their heyday were sealed by the Stigmata. Only then did they gain prosperity for thousands of years in the main plane. I don’t believe that with the power of the Lord of Hell, it’s really possible. The master who can defeat the fate of the world."
Listening to Edmund's rebuttal, before Rhodes could speak, Paris on the side couldn't help it and screamed at Edmund: "Do you really hope that the Stigmata can win the final victory? ? So what if the Stigma really wins? Have you forgotten how he sealed the elemental monarch in the first place? For the prosperity of the Erathians, what does the elemental monarch mean in his eyes? Do you think he will survive the end of the world? After the war, won’t the elemental monarch who escaped the seal be sealed again? Will you still be left in charge of the power of the elements to threaten the entire main plane?”
Edmund was speechless for a moment. As Paris said, even if the Stigmata finally defeated the Lord of Hell, the elemental monarch waiting for him would not end well. The original elemental monarch was... The Stigmata sealed it with one hand. When the end came, the Stigmata was unable to distract himself and use his strength to deal with the Elemental Lord. However, this did not mean that he did not have the strength to do so. After everything calmed down, what was left to the Elemental Lord would be nothing. What will happen?
"Then what do you think I should do?" After thinking to no avail, Edmund shrugged his head. As a monarch of the earth element, his body was extremely strong. No matter how fierce the attack was, he could not make him take half a step back. , however, in terms of wisdom, he is far behind other elemental monarchs. Many times when faced with complex problems, he is unable to think them through clearly and can only let the problems ferment like a stubborn stone.
Looking at Rhodes in front of him, Edmund also had a bit of questioning in his eyes, wanting to know what Rhodes should do at this moment.
"It's very simple, you just need to join other forces." Rhodes spoke slowly, answering Edmund's confusion, "In the Doomsday War, there are not only two forces in Cloud City and Hell. Since those two The final victory of these forces will be unfavorable to you, so why don't you join forces other than those two forces? As long as those two forces are not the ones who win in the end, it is not an unacceptable result for you."
After listening to Rhodes's persuasion, no matter how stupid the Earth Elemental Lord was, he could still hear the meaning behind Rhodes' words, and his eyes couldn't help but look a little more thoughtful: "You mean, Should I join you and the side where the Fire Elemental Lord is?”
Rhodes nodded and continued to persuade Edmund in front of him: "We are both elemental monarchs, and we have a common enemy. Since no matter which side wins in the Doomsday War, the outcome will be unfavorable to us, why don't we take the initiative to create a favorable situation? Result. After the death of the water element monarch, I have integrated the authority of the water element. Now I am a dual-element monarch who dominates the two elements. Is there any better condition than this? I can accept you in the doomsday battle. You can’t find a more suitable place than here among the forces.”
Rhodes's lobbying also made Edmund feel a little moved. As Rhodes said, since no matter which side wins in the end between Cloud City and Hell, he will not end well, then why not join him? What about the side in his favour? Especially the Rhodes in front of him has already taken control of dual elemental authority. This result not only surprised Edmund, but also made him feel a little lucky.
"No one has ever been able to fuse the power of dual elements. Hundreds of years ago, the mages who dared to do that ended up being destroyed. Rhodes, I can feel the power of the water element surging and active in your body. I didn't expect you. You can really do this." Looking at Rhodes in front of him, Edmund also sighed with emotion.
As if he thought of something, Edmund continued: "I just wanted to tell you that the Water Element Lord is in danger. With my physique and limited ability under the ocean, I am afraid that I will not be able to help the Water Element Lord escape from trouble, so I want to I wanted you to help me, but what I didn't expect was that you had already done it first, and also found the authority of the water element from under the ocean after Salil's death. This result was really beyond my expectation. Expected. I have not considered participating in the Doomsday War before. Although your words moved me, I still need time to think carefully."
Rhodes nodded. Edmund's answer was not beyond his expectations. As the earth elemental monarch who controls the power of the earth, Edmund's cycle of thinking about problems is as long as the movement of the earth's crust. It may take an unimaginable time for him to think about a problem clearly. Even if Rhodes is very anxious about it, he won't. The only way is to wait patiently for the earth elemental monarch to finish thinking before he can get his answer.
"It doesn't matter. You have enough time to think before the final moment comes. After all, time is on my side." Rhodes said slowly.
Edmund didn't understand the deep meaning of Rhode's words, but just nodded in agreement. Paris, who was on the side, obviously heard more from Rhode's words. She had personally experienced the power of time. , clearly understood what Rhodes meant in his words. That sentence was not a simple politeness, but as the literal meaning showed, the power that is enough to manipulate time and reverse time is indeed on Rhodes' side. aside.
In the doomsday battle, being able to stand on the same side as such a power is naturally a matter of great honor. If the enemy had this power, Paris would not know how to deal with it, but Paris What she wanted was obviously more than that. What she was plotting was the power of the Elemental Lord. However, after time was on Rhodes' side, no matter what she did, even if she really harmed Rhodes, it seemed that It seems meaningless, no one can transcend time.
The realm of time was the power of the oldest legendary holy female dragon, which was comparable to the other most powerful realm of destiny at that time. What made Paris very helpless was that the power of time stood beside Rod at that time. After a while, her last hope seemed to have been completely shattered.
While Paris was thinking hard and thinking about ways to defeat time, Edmund on the side was also preparing to leave. After conveying the news about the water element monarch to Rhodes, Edmund no longer stayed in the Magic City. The reason for this is that as an earth elemental monarch, he most likes to stay under the earth and remain motionless for decades or hundreds of years. However, when he left, he still carried the proposal that Rhodes gave him in his heart.
It was not until the Earth Elemental Lord left that Rhodes took a deep breath. It seemed that it was not an easy task to convince the very stubborn Earth Elemental Lord. More efforts would be needed.
At the moment, Rhodes has not yet truly mastered the power of god-level wisdom. Even if he gets more elemental authority, it will be useless. Winning over the earth elemental monarch in advance can save a lot of trouble later.
