225 Judgmen

As everything had happened so suddenly, it took awhile until everyone finally reacted. After returning to their sense, they immediately started to cheer. Many soldiers at the top of the city even started crying and kneeling on the ground, crying out...

"The evil ones deserve this bad karma!"

"God has not forsaken us."

"He answered our prayers!"

The King of the Dead also looked up at the sky. Suddenly, he saw an intense ray of light that was shining down from the sky. All the way from the void of the bitwall, the giant Divine Kingdom was projected onto the sky.

The projection of the Divine Kingdom even covered the entire battlefield, as well as all of Primonius! On both the sky and the ground, everything was surrounded by the holy light of the Divine Kingdom! Then, as the clouds subsided, a giant gate of the Divine Kingdom appeared.

As the massive realm of suppressive power was covering the entire area of the Divine Kingdom, all of the ghosts', the King of the Dead's, and the zombie dragon's special powers and witchcraft were suppressed! This left the ghost army befuddled, and many of them wondered aloud...

"What is this?"

"God?"

"What is this power?"

The King of the Dead instantly sensed the power of the realm. It was a power that far surpassed his grasp and imagination. It was a power that even surpassed his origins!

At this moment, the gate of the Divine Kingdom opened. Instantly, a shiny angel appeared at the gate and spread her giant illuminating wings. It was Archangel Kelly!

"Judgment!" As Archangel Kelly held her hand, a giant pillar of light struck down from the gate of the Divine Kingdom.

The pillar immediately traversed thousands of meters to instantly pierce through the King of the Dead and the zombie dragon! The dragon instantly disintegrated into countless little particles, then faded into the air. As for the King of the Dead, he was struck and had fallen, but had tapped into the energy of countless ghosts on the ground and returned to life!

This was the immortality property of mythical creatures. As long as the undead were still under his control, he would not die!

"I am immortal! Even God can't kill me! Hahaha! I am the God of the Dead! I am..." Before the King of the Dead could even finish his sentence, he was struck by another ray of light.

However, he immediately rose again, thanks to the ghosts! He then shrieked, "You can not kill me! I am undying the Undying King!"

Countless lights struck the ground as if they were weaving a fish net. The King of the Dead died again and again. He screamed again and again, but then rose again from the dead once more.

Large amounts of skeletons constantly gathered each time, merging together to rebuild the body of the King of the Dead. It was if they were all retaliating and against and defying God's natural order of life and death!

However, even despite the skeletons' and ghosts' efforts, this last time, the King of the Dead could not do anything other than remain moaning on the ground like a pitiful lost dog. His powers were completely suppressed by the power of the realm.

"Realm of Light!" Archangel Kelly shouted from above, while a much more intense light was launched from the Divine Kingdom.

The light was like the sun, glazing across the ground and instantly evaporating anything in its path. It wiped out all of the ghosts and everything on the ground!

As every ghost was fading away, the King of the Dead was constantly dying, then being revived by the ghosts. Every time he was revived, he was painfully killed again.

"How is this possible? I am the God of the Dead! No one can kill me! No one!" His crazy voice was roaring and echoing in the sky.

The voice was so grim, it could make one feel the pain of h*ll itself. However, the King of the Dead could do nothing but look at the irresistible power that was annihilating him and his ghost army. No matter what he tried to do, he was powerless.

Countless soul flames gathered in the air to form the consciousness of the King of the Dead. This was the manifestation of all of the consciousness of the dead, but without a body. As such, it was exposed in front of everyone.

Under the realm that was covered by the Divine Kingdom, the soul flames were slowly being separated, while countless consciousnesses were being taken apart.

The once sky-piercing soul flame was now being separated into parts, until finally, its core part was exposed. It was Adenos!

Meanwhile, the ground rippled like water. Black waves rippled across it, as the entire ground became more and more surreal. Then, a black underground world appeared!

The core of that world was a bright black ball. Countless black hands extended from the core, then grabbed the soul flames.

Many of the soul flames were guided to the Divine Kingdom. The soul flames were then directed to one of two paths, heaven or hell. The soul flame of Adenos was the only one that was left behind.

The Divine Kingdom in the sky and the underworld on the ground appeared simultaneously. This scene shook everyone within Primonius, rendering them utterly speechless. No one had expected this!

At this moment, Archangel Kelly suddenly spoke from above. "Judgment! Adenos, you are to reside in hell forever!"

Adenos was then tightly grabbed by thousands of black hands, which dragged him down to the underworld. His memories were immediately erased, then he was thrown into the River Styx.

Adenos was then transformed into a rower, who was wearing a black robe and was covered completely by bandages. He had to row on the black boat forever, tasked with transporting the important souls across the River Styx.

This was an important task, as all of the souls that fell into the River Styx would lose their memories. Even the souls that were just crossing it would experience immense pain and suffering.

As for Adenos, he could never leave that boat. Moreover, due to the influence of the River Styx, he would never again have any memories. Thus, he would forever be known as the mindless rower.

Lu Zhiyu suddenly appeared at the corner of the wall. He was holding a core of consciousness that had been separated from the soul flames of the King of the Dead. It was the consciousness of Delmedi!

Lu Zhiyu held onto the heavily injured Verthandi. After a blink, they were both transported inside the palace within Primonius. He put her on the throne and tidied up her clothes and hair.

Lu Zhiyu reached out his hands and was trying to heal Verthandi, when she quickly opened her eyes, then reached out and held his hands tightly.

She then weakly said, "You have come!"

Lu Zhiyu went down on one knee and leaned on the throne. He looked into her eyes and said, "Yes, I have returned!"

Verthandi's eyes were blinking as she asked, "Do you still hate me?"

Lu Zhiyu knew what she was talking about, so he shook his head. "I was very angry with you, but you are my daughter! Whatever you do, I will always forgive you!"

Verthandi's face was filled with joy, but it was also very pale. She had no intentions of living much longer.

Verthandi looked into his eyes and shook her head. "I was happy, but let's end it here! My life has been good enough! I have all I have ever wanted, even though I still have a lot of regrets! Besides, long life is a curse, old man. Not everyone has the courage to face living forever!"

Hearing her words, Lu Zhiyu suddenly fell silent. As Verthandi ran her fingers through Lu Zhiyu's black hair and tucked his messy short hair behind his ear, her eyes were full of kindness.

"Even though I still don't understand what God is, I have to think that it must be lonely, right?" she asked.

Lu Zhiyu grabbed her hands and brought them up to touch his face. He then smiled and said, "You were the one who brought color and brightness to my life!"

Verthandi nodded and smiled. "I am glad!"

After saying that, her pretty face suddenly paled. "I am so tired! I am really exhausted, so I need a break! Old man, please hold my hand."

Lu Zhiyu held her hands and asked, "If you had another life, what would you want?"

Verthandi's eyelids were shaking as she slowly closed them. She then replied, "I would want to be with you all the time!"

Lu Zhiyu leaned on the throne for awhile in silence. Then, he suddenly heard cheering from the outside.

Lu Zhiyu then picked up her body, turned around, and slowly faded into stardust, taking her far away from this place.

-----------------------------------------

103rd year of the San Calendar, the wizard tower, the Black Forest of the Kingdom of Rosa d'Oro

There was a massive party happening. Every wizard mentor, all of the working staff, and every student had gathered in the great hall of the wizard tower.

"According to the recommendation of my fellow mentors, the fourth master of the wizard tower is… Edward Kelermo!"one of the mentors announced.

Edward had grown up, and had now become more mature. He put on the silver-edged wizard robe, which was a symbol of one's being the master of the wizard tower. The robe had a silver mark on it that represented the wizard towers, and it was attached with a badge of the wizard tower.

Everyone was cheering, including the students and their mentors. Ever since the wizards were suffered heavy losses twenty years ago in the battle of Danello City, this was the first time that a new level four wizard had appeared.

Everyone was hoping that Edward could inherit his teacher Bohr's last wish to make the wizard tower even greater. Now that he had done so, the whole wizard tower was so hyped!

There were decorations everywhere, like it was some kind of a festival. Amid all of the hubbub, no one even noticed the giant flying castle that flitted over their heads in the sky.

The giant castle was flying in the air and was covered by many clouds. Its base was a metallic semi-sphere that contained different layers of units, including a control room, a storage room, a laboratory and a library.

The top portion of the castle was the living section, which had large areas of beautiful western-styled houses and lush botanical gardens. At the moment Lu Zhiyu was reading in one of the studies. Eva had brought some tea to him.

Not long after he took his first sip, two little girls rushed in, clearly in an argument.

"Papa! Older sis was bullying me!"

"It was because you were being so stupid!"

The two blonde girls grabbed Lu Zhiyu's leg from both sides and pointed their fingers at each other. Lu Zhiyu quickly looked at the younger one and asked, "If she is always bullying you, why do you keep following her around all of the time?"

The two of them looked very similar to one another. In fact, they kind of looked like Verthandi and Delmedi.

However, these girls had wings! The older sister had white wings, while the younger sister had black wings.

These two girls were clearly not humans. In fact, they were angels!

Moreover, they each had level four powers from the day they were born. Once they became adults, they could even reach level seven! However, reaching that level of maturity would take them a long time.

At the moment, these two angels were running around Lu Zhiyu, still fighting. He grabbed each of them, one under each arm, and ran out of the room.

"Stop arguing! Let's go play outside!" he said as he carried them towards the sunshine.

From outside, they could see layers of clouds floating underneath their feet, and the sunshine was bright and warm. They could also see human cities and villages on the ground underneath them, as well as farmlands that were intersecting with lakes and forests!

"Where are we going?"

"Yea, papa, where?"

"Let's go up and fly way up high!"

The angel girls were talking over one another, as they were very excited.

"Ah, but will we be melted by the sun if we were to fly too close to it!" Lu Zhiyu laughed. 

一切发生在一瞬间,城内这个时候,所有人才反应了过来,所有人发出了欢呼声,城头之上的士兵,不少人直接趴在地上痛哭流涕.

"邪恶终得恶果!"

"神明没有抛弃我们."

"它回应了我们的祈祷!"

尸龙之上的死亡君主也抬起头看向了天空,瞬间就看见一道剧烈的白光从天空之上闪耀而过,一道从无尽虚空之上,从位面壁之上,直接投影了下来,巨大的天国笼罩在了整个天空.

天国的投影光芒,覆盖了整个战场和普里莫纽斯,无论天空大地,全部都在天国的光芒笼罩之中,云雾散开,露出了庞大的延伸到天际之上的天国之门.

巨大的领域压制力,直接覆盖了天国笼罩范围之内,将场上的所有亡灵,包括死亡君主和尸龙的超凡力量全部压制.所有人都不能够再释放出超凡能力和巫术.

"这是什么?"

"神灵吗?"

"原来我还不是神灵吗?"

"这到底是什么力量?"

死亡君主立刻感觉到领域的力量,这是远超过自己想象和掌控的力量,是超越了其本源的力量,这个时刻,天国之门推开,一道闪耀着巨大的光芒的天使出现在门口,巨大的翅膀展开,如同一双光翼.

"审判!"

天使长凯莉伸出手,就看见一道巨大的光柱,从天国之门投射了下来,瞬间跨越了数百上千米的距离,贯穿了死亡君主以及尸龙.

"这是?"

尸龙和死亡君主瞬间被分裂,强悍的尸龙,瞬间整个分解成无数的分子,消散在空气之中,而亡灵君主,立刻再次从地下,无数的亡灵之中,重新复生,神话生物的特征就是不死性,只要其手下的死亡生物没有灭绝,就不会死亡.

"我是不死的!"

"就算是神灵,也杀不死我!"

"哈哈哈,我才是掌控死亡的神,我才是..."

死亡君主话未曾说完,这个时候又从天空之上降落下一重光束,犁过地面,将其和周围大片的亡灵,直接蒸发成为了烟尘,将其再次击杀,不过其接着又不断的从死灵之中再次复活.

"你杀不死我的!"

"我是不死的!"

"不死之王!"

天空之上降落下无数的光束交错,在大地之上仿佛交织城密密麻麻的网络,死亡君主一次次的不断被杀死,一次次的发出惨叫,却又在死亡之中重新复活.

大量的骨架,不断的朝着中央汇聚,再次拼凑起死亡君主的身躯,无数的亡灵拱卫着他,好像在对天上的神明发起愤怒的反抗和质问,其发出的声音,如同上万人在共同发声,是数十万化为亡灵的死亡生命形成的共同意识发出的.

不过其却再也不能发出一丝一毫的力量,只能够在地上如同丧家之犬一般的叫吼,领域的力量封锁住了他们所有的超凡力量.

"光之域!"

瞬间就看见天国投射出强烈的光芒,光芒如同太阳扫过地面,领域之内光芒覆盖的一切,瞬间烟消云散,光芒跨越了无尽的距离,从边缘收束,将所有的亡灵瞬间抹除,大地之上的一切都被分解.

所有的亡灵都在一点点分解,而在这过程之中,死亡之主也在不断的死去,其依托的亡灵不断减少,其一次次重生,却只能够再次痛苦的死去.

"怎么可能!"

"我是不死的!"

"我是死亡之神!"

"没有人可以杀死我!没有人!"

疯狂的怒吼声,好像十几万人的声音交错,响彻在天空之中,刺耳的让人仿佛可以感受到地狱的惨烈,但是死亡之主只能够看见自己和所有的亡灵军团,一同被这无法抗拒的力量抹消,任由如何挣扎扭曲,都没有任何作用.

无数的魂火,在天空之中汇聚成死亡之主的意识,这是所有死亡意识的集合,此刻却失去了可以依托的地方,只能够赤裸裸的显露在人前.

不过此刻在天国领域的笼罩之下,大量的魂火不断的被剥离,无数的意识散落出来,将原本强大的如同擎天火柱一般的魂火,剥离成无数份,最后显露出了其核心的本源——亚德诺斯.

这个时候,地面之上也突然开始如同水一般波动了起来,黑色的水纹摇曳,整个地面,都开始变得虚幻起来,一个漆黑的地下世界,出现在所有人的眼前,而其中一个散发着光芒的黑色球体为核心,无数的黑色手掌从地底之中延伸而出,抓向了这些魂火.

而其中也有少量,被接引上了天国,所有的魂火分成两路,或下地狱,或升上天国,而只留下了亚德诺斯.

天空之上的天国,地下的冥界,此刻同时显现,震撼的一幕,让普里莫纽斯的所有人,震惊的说不出话来,这只能够在油画和吟游诗人的嘴里看到的存在,真正的显露在他们眼前.

这个时候,天上的天使长凯莉突然开口说道:"审判!"

"亚德诺斯,永镇地狱,生生世世,直至永恒!"

亚德诺斯,被成千上万的黑色手掌,死死的纠缠住,拖下了冥界,其被抹去了所有记忆,被扔到了冥河之上.

亚德诺斯化身成为了一个穿着黑袍,被绷带遮住了所有面目的撑船人,永远撑着一艘黑色的乌篷大船,接引经过冥河的重要灵魂.

冥河的力量,随着灵魂的杂志不断的沉淀,逐渐显现,所有掉落进冥河的灵魂,都会被洗去记忆,而就算经过其上的灵魂,也会感受到刺骨的疼痛和折磨,而亚德诺斯,永生永世不能够离开这艘船,而且冥河力量的侵蚀,也会让亚德诺斯永远没有记忆,其始终是一个在冥河之上,没有记忆的撑船人.

陆之鱼突然出现在了城墙脚下,手上握着从死亡之主魂火之中剥离出来的一个意识体光团,正是德尔梅迪的人格意识体,陆之鱼从剥离的意识之中,立刻找到了她的存在.

陆之鱼抱起了遍体鳞伤的薇尔丹蒂,一个闪烁,就进入了普里莫纽斯的王宫之内,将其放在了王座之上,一点点的整理好薇尔丹蒂的衣衫.

陆之鱼伸出手,想要治疗薇尔丹蒂身上的伤势,薇尔丹蒂却握住了陆之鱼的手,睁开了眼睛,虚弱无比的说道:"你来了!"

陆之鱼单膝跪地,伏在王座旁边,看着薇尔丹蒂的眼睛:"我回来了!"

薇尔丹蒂瞳孔闪烁:"你怪我吗?"

陆之鱼知道她在问什么,摇了摇头:"我很生气,不过谁让你是我的女儿呢!薇尔丹蒂,你永远是我的女儿,无论你做过什么,无论你做错了什么!"

薇尔丹蒂脸上扬起了微笑,脸色变得更加惨白,不过却没有了活下去的意志,看着陆之鱼的眼睛摇了摇头:"我很开心!"

"不过,到此为止吧!挺好的,我的一生,我想要的一切,差不多都得到了,虽然拥有很多遗憾!"

"长生是一种诅咒,老爹,不是所有人都拥有勇气面对永生不死的!"

陆之鱼骤然间沉默,薇尔丹蒂的手指拂过陆之鱼黑色的的头发,将散乱的短发别到耳后,眼神之中尽是温柔.

"我虽然不明白神是什么样的!"

"但是!"

"很寂寞吧,老爹!"

陆之鱼抓着薇尔丹蒂的手,摩擦着自己的脸庞,脸上显露出了微笑:"你让我的人生,拥有了光彩!"

薇尔丹蒂点了点头:"真好!"

说完这句话,薇尔丹蒂秀丽的脸庞之上,突然涌上了一丝红晕:"我好累!"

"我真的好累,我想要休息一下!"

"老爹,抓着我的手."

陆之鱼抓着薇尔丹蒂的手,问道:"如果有下一生的话,你想要什么?"

薇尔丹蒂眸子不断的颤抖,逐渐的合上:"我想要一直陪在你的身边!"

陆之鱼伏在王座旁边良久,愣愣的不知道在想些什么,直到外面逐渐响起欢呼声,陆之鱼才抱起薇尔丹蒂的身体,转身,和她一起缓缓的消散成一片星光,离开了这里.

------------------------

圣历一百零三年,金蔷薇王国黑森林之中的巫师高塔,正在举办着一场盛大的欢庆宴会,在高塔的城堡大殿之中,所有巫师导师以及高塔的工作人员和学生,全部都聚集在这里.

"根据导师的推选,就任巫师高塔第四任高塔塔主的是——爱德华·克勒莫."

已经变得更加成熟稳重的爱德华,披上了代表着塔主的白色银边巫师长袍,上面绣着代表着巫师高塔的银色符号,还被别上了高塔徽章.

台下顿时欢呼成一片,所有的学生和老师们都高升欢呼,自从二十多年前,巫师遭受了重创,大半高层折损在了丹内洛,终于再次出现了一位四级巫师,所有人都希望爱德华能够继承其老师波尔的遗志,引导巫师高塔变得更加强盛.

整个巫师高塔都变的欢庆一片,到处都是张灯结彩和吵吵闹闹,如同过起了盛大的节日,而所有人都没有注意到,此刻头顶之上路过的云层之上,一座庞大的若影若现的城堡,出现在天空之中.

巨大的城堡悬浮在天空之中,被云雾所掩盖遮掩,底部是全金属的半圆底座,底下分为数层,分别有着控制室,储藏室,实验室,图书馆等等,而其上,则是生活的地方,上面有着大片的漂亮洋房建筑,还有着花园和植物园.

此刻陆之鱼正处于其中一间房间之中看书,伊娃从身后给陆之鱼端上了红茶,陆之鱼轻抿了一口,就看见两个小女孩从后面打打闹闹的冲了出来.

"阿爸!阿爸!姐姐她欺负我!"

"还不是因为你太笨了!"

两个金黄色头发的小女孩从左右旁边抓着陆之鱼的大腿,不断的摇来晃去,互相指责,陆之鱼立刻看向了其中的妹妹:"既然她欺负你,你还整天跟在她屁股后面!"

两人的模样非常相似,看上去隐隐有着薇尔丹蒂和德尔梅迪的样子,不过在身后,却都有着一双翅膀,其中姐姐的是白色的翅膀,妹妹却是一双黑色的.

两人都不是人类,而是天使一族,出生既有四级的实力,成年即为七级,不过成长期却非常漫长.

此时两个小天使围着陆之鱼不断的转圈打闹,陆之鱼的将两人一左一右,夹在腋下全部抓了起来,冲出了房间之外.

"乌鲁乌鲁,别吵了,我们出去玩!"

房间之外,可以看得到大片的云层漂浮在脚下,太阳的光芒显得尤为明媚,更能够看得到脚底下的大地还有大片的人类城市和村落,农田和树林湖泊交错!

"我们去哪里,去哪里!"

"对啊,阿爸,去哪里!"

"去天上,飞的高高的!"

"啊,我们不会靠近太阳,被太阳给融化了吧!"

城堡之上的稚嫩的声音吵吵闹闹,仿佛整个世界都变得安宁祥和了起来!
