For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King Chapter 105

   Chapter 105 Promotion Ceremony

   The tower guard felt as if he had woken up from a nightmare.

   Her vision returned to clarity, and at this moment she and the special envoy were still in the sealing room of the Star Lighthouse.

   In the entire sealed room, apart from the disappearance of the crazy box placed at the end of the room and the invalidation of the seventy-seven backup seals, there was no other change.

   As if everything that happened before was just an illusion…

  Wait, what happened before?

   The tower guard thought while covering his head, which seemed to be about to explode.

   The complete memory in her mind was only until the shattered black mist of the crazy box poured out, and after that, only some fragments of broken memories could be recalled.

   Laughter, black smoke, dialogue, music, drama, applause…

   There is also the appearance of the most mysterious king of nothingness, Valk, the mad and foolish jester.

   Thinking of the name, the tower guard felt his stomach cramping.

   So I must have fallen into some kind of fantasy just now, or else I really had such a long close contact with the mad fool, I must have gone crazy with my own spirit...

   The tower guard comforted himself in his heart.

   "No, you've actually been crazy before."

   The "Special Envoy of the City of Thorns" suddenly spoke at this moment.

   Such a terrifying speech made the tower guard look back at him.

   At this moment, the sacred relic that should have been stolen is in the opponent's hands.

   "Why is the Sealed Relic here with you?"

   Looking at the illusory crow feathers, the tower guard asked in surprise.

   "Since the previously sealed demon general has returned to the Moon Realm, you don't need this thing now, do you?"

  William looked at the Soul Fragment of the Father of Crows in his hand, and answered nonchalantly.

   He looked at the soul fragment and recalled his previous conversation with Valk.

   "So, what do you mean by betting that will help me?"

   After hearing the other party's rhetoric, William asked calmly.

   "The birth of a Void King requires another Void King to crown him, and I can be responsible for this. Of course, the premise is that you win in the end."

  Walker replied.

   He didn't lie. In the ending of the lunar eclipse, the protagonist became the fourteenth king of nothingness, which was coronated by the Queen of Whispers and the King of Dead Blood.

   And at the same time, another question arises, how did the first king of nothingness come into being.

   Of course, now is not the time to think about that.

   "What about other than that?"

   William continued to ask.

   "Besides that, there's the ticket to the circus."

  Valke replied with a smile.

   It took several seconds for William to understand what the other party was referring to.

   "The Soul Fragment of the Father of Crows?"

  Valke nodded and continued:

"After I got it, I specifically persuaded Manic to come here to protect it for more than 800 years, just to wait for someone to get it... Only those who hold this ticket are eligible to enter the arena and compete for the crows. Father's position, didn't I specially help you stay here?"

  William frowned and said:

   "Then the other party already has two tickets in hand."

  According to what the Raven Feather Prophet said before, there are a total of four soul fragments in the world, their leader already has one, and the other three are in the hands of the Holy Tomb, the Star Lighthouse in Black Light City, and the Queen of the Riel Empire.

   At the moment, he only has the piece of the Black Light City Star Lighthouse in his hand, and the piece that was put in the hands of Crowfeather Prophet is estimated to have been taken by Coles.

   Thinking of this, William couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

   When William proposed this theft plan before, he was not without attention, whether it was the "Crown of Original Darkness" or the Soul Fragment, and even the Prophet of Crow Feather, he made a hidden coordinate mark.

   However, as his former subordinate, the other party is too familiar with his own behavior. The moment he got the item, the other party directly erased the mark he made.

   The means he used to guard against outsiders still failed to guard against his own.

   "I remember the last soul fragment was in the hands of the Empress of the Empire..."

  William thought of this and planned to act immediately.

   But Valk shook his head and said:

"It's too late, the other party has already made a deal with that cute little girl. As long as she gives him the soul fragments inherited from the royal family, after he becomes the new father of crows, he will calm down the broken sea. The storm allows the fleet of the Empire to sail to Ava Continent without hindrance."

   "In other words, the opponent now has three fragments in his hand..."

   William murmured.

   "Hey, don't be shy! You should say, the score is three to one, and it's a close match."

  Walker saw this, laughed and patted William on the shoulder.

   Immediately he continued:

"And isn't the seed of hope still in your hands now? Even if the other party has fully inherited the ability of the father of the crows, it still needs the seed of hope to really take the last step, otherwise he will not be able to do anything anyway. Become a complete king of nothingness."

  Valke's words reminded William of the specific ritual of being promoted to the King of Hope and Despair in the end of the lunar eclipse.

   First, he used either the Seed of Hope or the Curse of Despair to form the initial prototype of the Void King, and by merging with it, his life began to transform into the existence of the moon. After the transformation, the promotion ceremony is the real beginning.

  Through the previously chosen prototypes, there will be two diametrically opposed rituals.

   If it was the prototype of the realm shaped by the curse of despair, then the trigger of the promotion ceremony was the act of "betrayal". The fuel needed for the ceremony is to set off a huge disaster that swept the continent in the present world, causing great suffering and sadness in the present world to create a violent storm in the moon.

   If it was the prototype of the realm shaped by the Seed of Hope, then the trigger of the promotion ceremony is the act of "redemption". The fuel needed for the ceremony is to keep a country peaceful and peaceful for more than ten years, so that the residents here can live a happy life, so as to calm down the fierce turmoil of the moon.

   And the final step of the ritual is "reversal".

   If it was the prototype of the realm shaped by the curse of despair, it is necessary to use the seed of hope to reverse itself into its opposite, and at the same time to redeem those who have fallen into despair because of the disaster.

   On the contrary, if it was the prototype of the realm shaped by the Seed of Hope, you need to use the curse of despair to turn it into its opposite, and at the same time betray those happy subjects and throw them into the abyss of despair.

  William recalls the scene in the play's final act.

   There is no doubt that Coles chose the first ceremony at that time, after all, the preparation time for the second ceremony was too long. He used the Curse of Despair to shape the dark cloud-like raven phantom, the first prototype of the Void King.

   He chose to hold the ceremony at the Holy Tomb of Thorns City to satisfy the fuel conditions for the promotion ceremony. At the time when the Lunar Realm rift was blocked and all the seven disasters were sealed, it was estimated that the only way to start a huge disaster was to re-awaken the "Tide of the Rotten Moon Undead".

   But it is estimated that Coles did not expect that the prototype symbolizing the power of despair would choose Black, who was more desperate in his heart at that time, as his host.

  Black followed the simple restraint logic and believed that to suppress the curse of despair, he had to rely on the power of the seed of hope, so he directly swallowed the seed of hope.

   And this is equivalent to entering the final "reversal" stage in advance.

   What's worse, Black's choice at that time was indeed in line with the behavior of "betrayal" for Coles.

   So the trigger was pulled and the ceremony started.

   eventually led to the birth of the incomplete fourteenth king, "Father of Crows".

   If the cooperation between the two is a little bit worse, the ceremony will not be launched so smoothly...
