Chapter 269 The Authority of the Law, Terrifyingly Powerful, Caesar Suddenly Grew Taller?
Of course, Krydella was not stupid. Her eyes revealed her meticulousness, her mind was clear, and she understood the ways of the world.
She never believed a word of Lai Gushi's hypocritical and cunning sweet talk.
Although Xi Lian's gradual guidance had not completely swayed Krydella to his side, it was still a result of her efforts.
But it was from her cold and hard attitude that I got the most crucial answer.
Kerudela neither believed in the ancients nor in the so-called path of annihilation that wiped out everything.
Finally, Xilian, with Keludela, saw the last scene from her memory.
Above the sky, the light suddenly converged, revealing an enormous figure-eight shaped band of light, dazzling and radiant.
Seeing this breathtaking scene, many people in front of the sky couldn't help but have thoughts that came to mind.
When Little Gray saw this scene, he blurted out a seemingly unrealistic but actually very straightforward remark.
Xi Lian's lips curved slightly into a gentle smile as she gazed at the band of light in the sky and softly introduced:
"Isn't it beautiful? This is Onpharos."
"This world flows endlessly within this boundless band of light, constantly regenerating."
"Although we struggle within the predetermined design of the gods, we cannot yet be considered truly complete beings..."
"However, the golden descendants of Onphalus still chose to fight against their unjust fate, writing a heroic myth no different from that of 'human beings.'"
Xi Lian gently placed her hand on her chest, feeling the steady heartbeat within her chest, her expression incredibly sincere and earnest.
She looked intently at Krystra and asked sincerely:
"Caesar, do you really intend to deny the heroes of the past thirty million generations—including yourself—who succumbed to a tyrannical fate and allowed the manipulative 'destruction' to have its way?"
Kerudela curled a disdainful sneer at the corner of her mouth, her sharp eyes seeing through Xi Lian's thoughts at a glance.
"I know what you're thinking, you little lackey."
"You want to use those memories of the savior to move me, to tip the scales of the law in her favor with those two geniuses, don't you?"
Xi Lian blinked her bright eyes, her tone playful and soft, and readily admitted it.
"Caesar really saw right through people's thoughts."
Kerudela stood tall and straight like a pine tree, exuding an aura of imperial majesty that seemed to survey the world, and said in a deep voice:
"If one cannot even understand the human heart, how can one control the vast Caesar Empire?"
"My mind is made up regarding the ultimate fate of the 'law,' and I will not change it."
"But before moving the next piece..."
"I also want to confirm something in this memory."
"Tell me, little sidekick, on her long, 'exploratory' journey—"
Have you ever seen the true face of the ocean?
Upon hearing the word "ocean," Keludela's expression subtly changed.
His usually cold, indifferent, and emotionless tone suddenly became incredibly gentle and tender.
That extremely gentle tone was just like Crydella, who quietly appeared when Little Grey and Heather were at the end.
At this moment, the same thought arose in the minds of everyone in front of the sky.
Everyone thought that Crydella must want to know which planet in outer space has a complete ocean.
In this way, when Onphalus's army eventually ventured into space, the first planet they conquered was the one with the ocean.
It was only because she had solemnly promised Hai Seyin that she would create a vast, pure, and unpolluted blue sea for her.
But before long, everyone lowered their heads in unison, their hearts filled with endless sorrow and sighs.
Krydera was exceptionally intelligent and far-sighted, having already seen through the universe's structure and her own situation.
How could she not see that Onfaros' overall strength was far inferior to those top-tier powers that had been entrenched in the outer heavens for many years?
She initially intended to use the power of the Iron Curtain to lead Onphalus out of its shackles and conquer the world.
However, she immediately saw through the shocking conspiracy hidden by Lai Gushi and knew that the power of the Iron Curtain should never be used.
Therefore, in order to prevent Onpharos from being looked down upon by the major powers in the galaxy and to gain a foothold in the vast starry sky.
Onphalus could only rise to power step by step by relying on his own strength and self-reliance.
But this road is destined to be full of thorns, difficulties, and obstacles, making it difficult to move forward.
Ceryldella also knew that she would never live to see that day and would never witness Onpharos truly standing atop the galaxy.
Therefore, she was ultimately unable to fulfill her promise to Haesein, unable to personally step into the Star Sea and carve out a private ocean planet for Haesein.
She also knew that the power of memory was incredibly mysterious, capable of transcending the distant future and preserving thoughts eternally.
She had even foreseen her eventual death.
So she made arrangements early on, secretly entrusting Xi Lian with this belated last message.
She was unable to fulfill her promise in the real world and personally give Hathaway a real blue sea.
So he could only pass on the vast ocean that Little Grey Fur had seen to Heather through Little Grey Fur's travel memories.
Everyone instantly understood what Krystra was thinking, and they were all filled with sorrow, deeply moved, and their noses tingled with tears.
It is important to understand how ambitious Crydella is; she is determined to shatter the old order and forge entirely new interstellar rules.
In the end, however, she relinquished some of her obsessions for the sake of Onphalus's millions of people.
Willing to sacrifice himself, using his own life as a bargaining chip, he paved a smooth and stable road to survival for Onphalus!
...
Immediately afterwards, the images on the sky shifted again, the light changed abruptly, and the scene changed.
The scene remains in the magnificent vortex of creation, with Krydla tilting her small head back.
With focused gaze, he quietly watched the scale-shaped flame that had been lit in the sky.
It is golden and dazzling.
Just then, Hazel walked slowly from behind her with light steps and a slight sway of her skirt.
Heather's expression was calm, but her eyes held anticipation as she asked, "The trial is over. Now, tell me..."
"Who will inherit the divine authority over the law?"
Kerudela gave a cold laugh, a haughty smile curving her lips, her tone firm and without the slightest hesitation.
"I will not give it to anyone."
"What?"
Hazel's pupils contracted sharply, her face filled with disbelief, feeling as if she had been thoroughly deceived.
Krydella stood with her back to Hathaway, her arms crossed over her chest, her posture proud and upright, her aura cold and aloof.
She gazed at the gleaming, majestic flame of law in the sky, and said in a proud and authoritative tone:
"I am the Law. How can I relinquish Caesar's crown, which embodies the glory of the empire?"
"Whether it's a savior or a priest, they all come from beyond the heavens and have no right to interfere with the land I personally conquered and protected."
"The 'laws' of Onphalus shall be determined by her master, by me personally."
Seeing Krydella's unwavering and uncompromising attitude, Hathaway was filled with doubt and couldn't help but step forward to ask her.
"What exactly did you see during the trial?"
Krystal's gaze was deep as she looked into the endless void. She slowly spoke, revealing the ultimate truth.
"Everything. Everything about the rules governing how this world operates, and the core algorithm the priest spoke of is... the 'Ultimate Protocol.'"
"As long as an equivalent offering is made, I can rewrite the laws of this world at will."
"Good can be evil, ugliness can be beauty, weakness can be strength, and all rules are set by me..."
I've heard of the incredible power of the Law Fire to defy fate.
Whether it was Heather in the sky or everyone on the Douluo Continent, they were all shocked, speechless, and stunned in place.
Everyone had only one thought in their minds: This ability is too powerful! It's too heaven-defying!
This means that at this moment, Crydela only needs to find and offer an item of equal value.
It can make one's short body instantly become incredibly tall and upright.
Furthermore, by utilizing this extraordinary ability, one can gain unparalleled power, enough to easily send earth beasts flying with a single punch.
Witnessing all this, many people subconsciously swallowed hard, their throats bobbing, filled with shock and awe.
As expected, none of the demigods of Onphalus were weak.
The power of the Law Fire is arguably the most heaven-defying and powerful of all the fires!
At this moment, many people were secretly complaining in their hearts, but couldn't help but chuckle to themselves, their hearts filled with joy.
They all thought that Crydella might use this ability of equivalent exchange to make herself grow taller.
Everyone knew that if the arrogant Cerrudra found out about these little schemes, she would surely suffer the tragic fate of being beheaded.
But they couldn't help but let their imaginations run wild, completely unable to control their thoughts.
Just thinking about that contrasting scene makes many people want to laugh, their emotions are unsettled, and their lips curl into a wild smile.
Many people were filled with curiosity and eager to see what Crydella would look like when she grew taller.
Many people privately speculated that when she grows up, she will have an even more queen-like demeanor, exuding a powerful aura and captivating coldness.
Is it possible to inspire awe and cause people to immediately prostrate themselves and submit to her majesty with just a casual glance?
