Chapter 568: Another King of Black (3k)
Bai Cangshu opened his eyes; Black Mud dripped continuously before him, and within it, an intangible Spirit Body struggled and twisted incessantly.
Bai Cangshu tilted his head, watching that fiercely struggling heart of a king sink deeper and deeper.
In this special state, he could almost completely read the heart of this king.
Bearing the Shuming of the Heaven-chosen King, countless soldiers fought alongside her, but in the end, the kingdom headed toward decay, and the pain and disappointment of the people almost destroyed her.
The ever-victorious Knight King began to fear facing the faces of those fallen knights, and she began to be consumed by the guilt and regret within her heart.
The Heaven-chosen King fell into self-doubt because she could not save Buliedian, and the ever-victorious King began to worry that she could not win.
That dark and twisted sentiment coiled around this king's firm and flawless Soul, and accompanied by the erosion of the Black Mud, it quickly caused this Spirit Body to be submerged in Black Mud.
Fresh flesh and blood began to condense within 【All the World's Evils】, and the Magic Power, intense enough to condense into a physical form, radiated naturally.
The blue dress and silver armor faded away; upon the black dress and ink-colored armor, scarlet patterns spread, and even the brilliant golden hair seemed to fade into a near-white state.
Accompanied by a pitch-black mask appearing on her face, covering the king who had fallen into the dark side of her heart, the blackened Artoria officially appeared in the real world.
At the top of The Tower, Bai Cangshu watched the Black Saber who had appeared before him, his eyes full of interest.
The posture of such sacred, pristine things after falling into darkness made him feel incomparably interested, and he felt that by observing this state of the other party, he could bring himself closer to the so-called 【Heart】.
At the very least, he had already obtained some commonalities from those who had displayed Heart Light Soul Movement.
Intense emotional Waves, incomparably firm beliefs, and a catalyst capable of burning these things until they drown out individual will!
The first two were easy to explain; only regarding the final factor did Bai Cangshu not yet have much of a clue.
However, he was still far from that position anyway.
His current top priority was, naturally, to continue strengthening his energy attributes, break through the so-called Second Tier, and obtain authority.
Additionally, finding a way to trade for more 【Golden Souls】 was, for him, much more convenient than making his own soul holy; it was better to directly integrate ready-made 【Golden Souls】 into his body.
Fortunately, 【Death-Telling Heaven】 told him that there was already news in this regard; they seemed to want to use that thing to exchange for a special transaction.
"How, shall we seize it?"
Black Saber's voice was cold, and her phrasing was extremely brief; she was controlled by Bai Cangshu because her body was reshaped by Black Mud, but 【All the World's Evils】 did not strip away her individual will and pure ideals.
She merely developed another way of thinking under the influence of the Black Mud, a philosophy of carrying out her ideals that was more cruel and more resolute.
Artoria followed the philosophy of "standing alone as a king"; in order to protect Buliedian and the pure Justice in her heart, she severed all personal desires and erased her own emotions.
It was a typical sacrificial idealist personality.
But her purity and ideals ultimately ran counter to the results, and therefore, under the influence of 【All the World's Evils】, she accepted another path.
Tyranny is also a way of being a king!
Pure violence and cruel slaughter could also protect those behind her and uphold the Justice in her heart.
Since I am not understood, then there is no need to be understood; as long as I carry out my own way of being a king and practice hegemony with pure power, then the world I seek will also reappear.
This was the change in Artoria after she blackened; her cold question was actually asking, where should we start?
The newly awakened blackened king seemed to have an irrepressible killing intent beneath that cold face and voice.
At the same time, the black 【Oath of Victory Sword (Excalibur Morgan)】 in her hand also constantly radiated a terrifying aura because she no longer restrained her Magic Power.
Suddenly, Artoria turned her head and looked outside the city.
"Powerful Magic Power."
She walked to the edge of the tower, leaning on her sword with both hands, and the pitch-black Magic Power spread out directly.
In the sky, a person felt the biting Magic Power and simultaneously looked up, landing on that iconic black tower.
White long hair fluttered in the wind, and a pair of heterochromatic eyes captured the target after just one glance.
"Black Saber... is this a coincidence or fate?"
The voice of the man with the code name 【Solomon】 was transmitted into the tower, and the next moment, he teleported directly, accompanied by a light of Magic Power.
And outside the city, the youth-like 【Jin】, the 【Tree Shepherd】 who had previously dealt with Bai Cangshu in the b711 Shijie, and another pair of a man and a woman, all flew over from a low altitude.
Usually, Reincarnators who reached Title-level or above would more or less obtain some abilities related to Flight.
In the past, to avoid being captured by cameras, Reincarnators rarely used them in the real world, but with the appearance of the name 【Ability User】, more and more high-level Reincarnators became accustomed to moving more freely in the real world.
White long hair, one red and one blue eye, a slender figure, wearing a white knit sweater, his whole body overflowing with Waves of Magic Power.
This 【Solomon】, in Bai Cangshu's eyes, radiated a presence almost equivalent to that of the Great Black Heaven and the others.
"Coincidence, or fate?"
"Do you mean that the blackened Artoria has some special significance in space?"
"Does the 【Black King Society】 have her existence?"
Bai Cangshu's mind was very active; the so-called "world-shocking wisdom" would not be a joke for him in the future.
Solomon was also silent for a moment; nowadays, many people said that Tao Baibai was not just a powerful beast, but a beast that was perhaps smarter than everyone else.
