Chapter 360 The Truth Gradually Becomes Clear (Thanks to the passerby for the donation)
Hearing the sounds of battle coming from not far away, Freym's eyes gradually cleared.
"I remember now, I did die, but I was resurrected."
The one who resurrected me... was the Evil Emperor!
Fury began to burn in Volem's eyes. "We died for the people, but we never imagined that we would become the lackeys of evil people after death. You, Evil Emperor, deserve to die!"
"Vorem!"
Hearing the shouts of the Rakshasa Azure Emperor Susis, Volem looked up at his former comrade-in-arms. Her appearance was the same as before, but the aura around her was filled with evil. The same evil aura as his own.
Thinking of this, Volem felt as if his heart was being torn apart, and his hatred for the Evil Emperor intensified.
"Vorem, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Susis asked, "What methods did the Ancient Guardian use to repel you?"
"Susis!"
Volem looked at Susis with a serious gaze.
"Qingdi!"
"Have you forgotten our oath! Our oath to protect all people!"
Susis was filled with doubt and confusion. She couldn't understand what Volem was saying, and she thought Volem had been stunned by that move.
"What did the Ancient Guardian do to you? Did that move have a mind control effect?"
A bitter and helpless look appeared in Freym's eyes. He said, "In that case, I can only help you wake up."
Suddenly, Volem launched an attack on Susis.
Susis was shocked, but her good combat habits and reaction speed still allowed her to swing her sword and shatter the fireball.
"Vorem, what are you doing! Have you really been controlled by the Ancient Guardians?!"
Suhis said angrily.
"Ancient Guardians? Yes! Ancient Guardians!"
"The Ancient Guardians woke me up, and they can wake you up too," Volem muttered to himself.
Volem immediately abandoned Susis and flew towards the Ancient Guardian.
"Stop him!"
Susis loudly commanded the crowd.
She didn't know what had happened to Volem, but it would be best to prevent him from meeting with the Ancient Guardians.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Volem transformed into a ball of flame, and the raging fire scorched the evil spirit soldiers who tried to stop him into smoke.
The evil spirit soldiers didn't understand what was happening either, and didn't dare to stop them. After several of them died, they all obediently made way.
The four ancient guardians returned to the city tower, and the leader and his entourage all bowed and knelt in gratitude for their defeat of the Crimson Flame Emperor.
The four ancient guardians didn't stand on ceremony with these people; they were willing to kneel.
However, they didn't look too good either. Using the power of the Star Soul was too much of a burden for them, since it wasn't their own power after all.
Fortunately, the result was good.
Next, by using the ancient restrictions to defeat the Rakshasa Azure Emperor, the crisis on Herka Star can be resolved.
However, before they could even catch their breath, they saw the Crimson Flame Emperor charging towards them like a madman, even killing several of his own men who were blocking his way.
"Is this guy crazy?"
The same thought occurred to all four of them.
They thought that the Crimson Flame Emperor was too angry, so he attacked everyone who stood in his way, even the evil spirit soldiers.
Volem crashed into the aurora barrier with a bang, but was stopped by the energy barrier.
"Crimson Flame Emperor, do not be so arrogant! This is an ancient restriction."
To everyone's surprise, what Volem said left everyone completely bewildered.
“Ancient Guardians, I am the ancient Yan Emperor, a leader of a civilization even older than yours. Thank you for waking me up and helping me rediscover my true self.”
"Are you making this up?"
The ancient sage questioned, "You claim to be the leader of an ancient civilization, but you exude a sinister aura."
"Although I don't know why I've become like this, please believe me. I will not resist. Now, please use the power you just used to help the Azure Emperor regain his senses."
The ancient guards exchanged bewildered glances. If what the Crimson Flame Emperor said was true, the situation would be greatly advantageous to them.
But what if the Crimson Flame Emperor only wants to lure them out of the barrier so that he can join forces with the Rakshasa Azure Emperor to launch a sneak attack?
Ray was also looking at each other in bewilderment, deeply shocked by what Volem had said.
If the Five Emperors were originally righteous, then why did they become the subordinates of the Evil Emperor?
If they are righteous, how could ancient and powerful beings like the Elf Kings be completely unaware of this?
While Ray was struggling with his inner turmoil, Freym suddenly let out a roar, and the evil spirit energy on his body suddenly erupted. Even the Aurora Barrier could not withstand this surging evil spirit energy and became shaky.
"You were lying to us all along!"
"Thank goodness we didn't fall for it!"
"The ancient guardians said."
"No! That's not how it is!!"
With bloodshot eyes, the Crimson Flame Emperor clutched his head and explained in anguish.
"Humph!"
The ancient guardians would never believe the Crimson Flame Emperor in this state, and no matter how eloquently Volem spoke, they would not be fooled.
They decided to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
"Damn the Evil Emperor!"
With a furious roar, filled with boundless killing intent, he transformed into a fiery meteor and flew towards the horizon, leaving behind a crowd of bewildered onlookers.
Ray's soul chased after Volem, reaching the edge of Herka's atmosphere. There, he saw the void dyed in two colors, crimson and purplish-black, the two colors vying for supremacy.
On one side is the Crimson Flame Emperor Volem, and on the other side is... the Evil Emperor!
The void began to collapse, crimson and purplish-black mingled together, and Ray lost all sight. His soul was sent back to Herka City, back to the side of the ancient guardian.
Susis had already commanded the evil soldiers to attack the city, and no one mentioned the farce that had just happened. They had to wait until the battle was over before they could discuss their thoughts.
Ray wanted to go back, but that space was restricted, preventing him from seeing it.
At the same time, in the void.
"Vorem, you are someone I created. Since when did slaves dare to rebel against their masters?"
The Evil Emperor sneered.
"I am the Yan Emperor, not a puppet you created! You resurrected us using evil means, but my heart is set on the light, and I will never be enslaved by you!"
"Vorem protested."
"What a joke! You are remnants of souls that have been dead for tens of thousands of years. It was I who used precious evil spirit essence to fill the gaps in your incomplete Five Emperors essence, which allowed you to see the light of day again. As long as my evil spirit essence flows in your body, you will never be able to resist me."
"Then I'd rather die!"
"Want to die? It's not that easy. You guys are my most satisfying creations. Even if you regain your senses, I can still send you back into a state of chaos."
The Evil Emperor reached out and injected a surge of energy into Frem's body. Frem struggled and screamed, but after a while, he calmed down, the hatred in his eyes disappeared, and he became dull and obedient.
"Meet the Master."
Volem knelt down, stunned.
"Hmph... You think you're so arrogant? You're still my slave now."
"Subordinates are always their master's slaves."
Volem replied blankly.
The arrogance on the Evil Emperor's face slowly faded, replaced by a gloomy expression.
"You're really going to ruin things for me!"
The Evil Emperor couldn't help but send Freym flying with a single blow. Seeing that Freym didn't resist at all, he felt no pride whatsoever.
Because he washed away Volem’s wisdom.
But the changes in Volem are so significant that the other four emperors cannot be unaware of them. This could trigger other chain reactions. If someone else awakens, does he want to create another fool?
To fix the loopholes, the Evil Emperor decided to adjust the memories of the other four emperors, nipping the danger in the bud.
