Chapter 190 I Will Be the City Lord
Chapter 190 I Will Be the City Lord
Wu Erqi searched left and right with the instrument and actually found some clues, but it might take a long time to crack the hidden formation.
While cracking the formation, Wu Erqi slowly communicated with Oronar, and he also pieced together the past events surrounding Dark Night City from Oronar's mouth.
Ever since the death of the previous city lord, the father of the Dark Duke Arthas, Dark City has been in a relatively depressed state.
It was not until the young master Arthas grew up and pulled out the Dark Night City's artifact, the Sword of Sorrow, that Dark Night City finally had the power to compete for supremacy again.
At that time, the Titan Galaxy had experienced the last round of war between gods and demons. The older generation of strong men, led by the God of Creation and the old city lord, were either dead or sleeping. Although the Titan Galaxy was in greater chaos, there was actually no particularly terrifying existence.
So Arthas decisively started the expansion, conquering a large territory for Darknight City so that the people of Darknight City could live a good life.
However, there are many masters in the Titan Galaxy, among whom the Four Heavenly Kings of the Divine Realm and the Six Divine Soldiers of Creation all have close ties with the God of Creation. Although the two forces have parted ways long ago, they are both very determined to resist the Dark Night City.
In addition to the God Realm Heavenly King and the Creation God Soldiers, there are countless powerful people in the Titan Galaxy, and most of them are wary of or even hate the Dark Night City.
Although Arthas was strong, the time for Dark Night City to rise again was too short. After expanding to a certain extent, it began to lose strength. At this time, the Demon King came to join him. With his powerful strength and wise mind, he made many contributions to Dark Night City.
So it was natural for the Demon King to become the national teacher of Dark Night City.
It was at this time that Oronaar began to get involved with the Demon King. The two were originally in a superior-subordinate relationship, and the Demon King was a generous person. Oronaar always put the Demon King first in everything at that time.
Later, Sorenson came to Dark Night City. At that time, he was seriously injured and his strength was greatly reduced. It was Oronaar who brought him to see Arthas.
Sorensen deliberately concealed his injury, so his performance was mediocre. Therefore, during the first period of time after he arrived, he was treated as a younger brother by Oronar.
Although it didn't take long for Sorenson to show his impressive strength and start to be on par with Oronar, and later surpass him to become a national teacher like the Demon King.
At that time, Dark Night City almost swept across the entire Titan Galaxy. At its most glorious time, Arthas's ambition was no longer limited to the Titan Galaxy, and he set his sights on the entire universe.
Generally speaking, ambitious people who want to rule the universe are either mentally ill or really powerful, and the Dark Night City at that time was definitely powerful.
Unfortunately, as the Dark Night City grew stronger, those powerful people who had been hiding from the world began to block them, such as Oscar, the Judge of the Holy Spirit, and Poseidon, the King of the Sea.
Under this situation, the Duke of Darkness Arthas tried every possible means to become stronger. He began to search for a powerful treasure called magic stone. The magic stone can give the elves unparalleled power, except that it will affect their mind.
But Arthas was confident that he would not be easily affected by the magic stone. In order to defeat his opponent, he continued to absorb the energy of the magic stone. His strength improved by leaps and bounds, but he also became more and more dangerous.
It was not until the decisive battle with Poseidon on the snowy mountains that the loyal national teacher, the Demon King, showed his fangs. He wanted to control Arthas who was gradually losing control.
Although he failed in the end, Arthas was awakened by his adopted son Irovich, but the backlash of the magic stone's energy and the enemy's attack made the invincible Arthas fall.
Finally, Arthas was imprisoned in hell.
Unfortunately, this is only the ending of Arthas, not the ending of Dark City.
The Demon King's scheme to control Arthas was exposed, so he simply turned against the Demon King and looted the Dark Night City, then disappeared into the vast universe with a large amount of treasures.
Sorensen was better off. He was originally a guest general and had no obvious backstabbing behavior. He just took advantage of the fall of Dark Night City to make a fortune.
The treasure that Sorenson stole is called Titan Stone, which has a power more powerful than the Magic Stone. It is the power of God from the God of Creation.
Sorenson used the energy of the Titan Stone to control the Four Heavenly Kings of the Divine Realm, enslaved their souls, occupied the Divine Realm, and became the second biggest winner of this chaos.
In the blink of an eye, the once powerful Dark Night City was deserted. Oronaar was dumbfounded. His real master, Arthas, was unknown whether he was dead or alive, and his false master, the Demon King, had stabbed him in the back and rebelled. Although he usually thought highly of himself, he was helpless in the face of this landslide-like situation.
Dark Night City declined instantly under the retaliation of various forces. It was only with the persistence of old officials such as Oronar and Ilovich that a glimmer of hope was preserved for Dark Night City.
"So Dark Night City is now in decline?"
After listening to Oronar's story, Wu Erqi asked.
Oronar remained silent.
Wu Erqi thought he had picked up a treasure, but it turned out to be a mess. There was probably nothing left.
"Why don't you take me in for a look around so I can broaden my horizons and look through your historical files. You probably don't have any treasures anyway."
"Don't even think about it."
Oronar firmly refused.
Although he also felt that there was nothing in Dark Night City worth coveting.
"Hey, there's movement."
Wu Erqi said in surprise.
Oronar's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and his eyes involuntarily looked towards the detector in Wu Erqi's hand.
However, the next moment, a purple-black figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and Oronar's face turned black in an instant.
"Ilovitch you idiot!"
When Ilovich heard Oronar's scolding, his expression instantly became a little ugly.
The relationship between the two has always been bad. They have disliked each other since Arthas was alive. Although they fought together after the fall of Dark Night City and established some revolutionary friendship, after a hundred or two hundred years, the good impressions they had of each other had long been worn away by time.
However, when Ilovich saw Oronar tied up, he realized that something was wrong.
"who are you!"
Ilovich questioned Wu Erqi.
"Don't be nervous, I'm your sister's friend."
"younger sister?"
Ilovich was still a little confused as to where his sister came from.
“It’s the Muse.”
"Are you from the Sky Snake Clan?"
Ilovich's eyes became extremely sharp, even filled with murderous intent!
Wu Erqi found that he might have made the wrong friends again, but he didn't panic, as it was not a big problem.
"Don't worry, Ilovitch. I'm not from the Serpent Clan. I just happen to know Muse. I didn't come to you today for anything else. I just wanted to see you..."
"Ilovich you idiot, he's here to cause trouble!"
Oronar cursed.
"Fuck, I forgot to shut you up!"
Wu Erqi immediately rushed towards Ilovich.
"If you dare to cause trouble for Dark Night City, you will die!"
Ilovich did not take Wu Erqi seriously. He raised his hand, and a huge claw appeared out of thin air, slapping Wu Erqi hard.
However, before the claws could land, they were smashed to pieces by a punch from an elf, and the one who did it was Isengard.
"Some strength."
Ilovitch commented.
"Don't be careless, you idiot. He has a lot of elves!"
Oronar continued to remind loudly.
Ilovich frowned. Why was Oronar acting so strangely today? Wasn't he usually the most arrogant?
Could it be that this robot is really powerful?
With a few whoosh sounds, Wu Erqi threw several elf capsules around Ilovich, and then powerful elves appeared around Ilovich and surrounded him.
"you……"
Irovich was also stunned. He knew the profession of trainer, but the Pokémon that a robot could control were at most at the Overlord level. Where did so many masters come from?
"We can't be careless."
Ilovich's pupils began to change color, this was his pupil mystical technique.
"Gamanji, use Gamanji's domain!"
Wu Erqi ordered hurriedly.
At this moment, Gamanji's three heads and six eyes also emitted a strange red light, and began to compete with Ilovich's pupil mystery.
However, what Gamanji was proficient in was illusion, not mental attack, and he was quickly defeated in the "staring battle" with Ilovich.
But Ilovich was not feeling well either. The Mystic Eye Technique was already his very powerful trump card, but it failed to produce the desired effect.
This is bad news...
"Ilovitch you are such an idiot!"
With Oronar's shout, Ilovich was captured alive.
"Who the hell are you!"
"I'm just a space pirate passing through, and I came here just to take a look around."
What bad intentions could Wu Erqi have? He is no different from those tourists who check in during the New Year holiday. Dark Night City is so famous, so since he is here, of course he has to go in and take a look.
"You'd better let us go. I've already sent out a distress signal."
"So I can just sit back and wait, then surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements?"
"Forehead……"
Ilovich's eyes flickered, as if that was the case.
"Ilovitch you idiot!"
Oronar cursed for who knows how many times.
"Alright, alright, stop cursing. You only have so few people left in Dark Night City. Don't let me kidnap you all. I can't afford to support you."
Wu Erqi had already found the way to Dark Night City. He pulled Ilovich and Oronar towards Dark Night City.
On the way, he did meet the reinforcements called by Ilovich, but their strength was really questionable.
It cannot be said that they are not strong. They are led by the Overlord Elf and the soldiers are also strong. But if this is the army of Dark Night City, it is far from Wu Erqi's expectations.
By the end of the fight, Wu Erqi was too lazy to catch them because he would not be able to keep an eye on them if he tried to catch them again.
After capturing only two leaders, Wu Erqi began to ignore the ordinary soldiers and walked directly into the Dark Night City.
Looking at the slightly dilapidated Dark Night City, Wu Erqi sighed. It seemed that Dark Night City was really in decline. He probably wouldn't be able to rob anything good this time.
"Let them go."
Wu Erqi said.
"Are you sure you want to let us go? Are you afraid of our revenge?"
Ilovich was surprised.
"With your current strength, you can't even beat me."
Wu Erqi said disdainfully.
"Humph! Everyone can boast. If you have the guts, let us marshal our army. Even though Dark Night City isn't what it used to be, it's not without experts!"
Oronar shouted.
"Tie this guy up first."
Wu Erqi pointed at him.
"You bastard!"
"Shut his mouth too."
Ilovitch flexed his wrist and asked, "What exactly do you want, Your Excellency?"
"What else do you have in Dark Night City?"
"Although Dark Night City is in ruins, we still have us!"
Wu Erqi was stunned when he heard this. This was quite insightful.
"Then I'll take you."
"what?"
"To be honest, based on seniority, you should call me uncle, and from your perspective, Arthas should be considered my brother."
Wu Erqi started to instill that fallacy again.
"...Sir, don't joke."
"I'm not kidding. Dark Night City is a great place. It's rich in spiritual energy and has a profound heritage. It's perfect for building a base. If you keep guarding this broken city, it will be taken away by others sooner or later. Why don't you let me... let me protect you."
"Dark Night City has only one master, and that is my adoptive father Arthas."
"Isn't he imprisoned in hell?"
"I will rescue him sooner or later!"
"Then come on."
Wu Erqi's nonchalant attitude choked Ilovich.
"Actually, you all know that Dark Night City has no future now. Although you want to rescue Arthas and let him lead you back to the top, if you really have a way to rescue him, you wouldn't have waited until now."
"Let me introduce myself. I am the head of the Demon Generals of the Obi Organization. As long as I give the order, you will receive a steady stream of support, and it will not be difficult to restore Dark Night City to its former glory."
"Of course you can refuse. At worst, I can just bring people to rob you. It'll just take more effort. I don't think you can find any decent reinforcements right now."
"If you are willing to join the Obi Organization and let me be the new Lord of Dark Night City, I can at least satisfy you..."
When Wu Erqi talked about the conditions he could offer, many people in Dark Night City were tempted.
They are indeed not living a good life now. Although the Duke of Darkness has made a great name for themselves, he has also offended everyone.
Now the people of Dark Night City can only move around on Prism Stone Star. No one welcomes them on other planets. Every time they want to go out, they have to hide their identities for fear of exposing their identities and being hunted down.
"You have to think clearly. Dark Night City is not a popular place right now."
Ilovich was also tempted. The future of Dark Night City was hopeless, and talented people were constantly dwindling. Sooner or later, it would fall apart.
Although he has been practicing hard, he is still far from the strength of his adoptive father. It is good that he is safe now, but once a strong enemy comes, such as the robot in front of him, he will not be able to resist.
Ilovich suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression gradually became relieved.
"If you really want to, then come with me."
Ilovich walked in front and took the initiative to act as a tour guide.
"What is that stone sword?"
Wu Erqi pointed at the huge stone sword in the square and asked.
"That is my father's weapon, the Sword of Sorrow."
"A stone statue or a real sword?"
"It's both a stone statue and a real sword. Although my father is gone, he will always protect us."
Wu Erqi looked at the giant sword statue and had the illusion of being sucked in, as if the statue contained infinite magic power.
"Have you not tried to re-summon the Sword of Sorrow?"
"I have tried and failed. The Sword of Sorrow has only one master, and that is my father."
Ilovich said calmly.
"Duke of Dark Night, he is indeed a great man of his generation."
"In fact, if you insist on using force today, it will teach you a lesson."
"Thank you for showing mercy then."
"You should thank yourself for not showing too much murderous intent towards us."
