Chapter 702: Martial God Festival Finals!

The conditions proposed by Night City to Mordred were answered not long after.

He originally thought there would be obstacles, but was surprised to find that the Order agreed very readily. Not only did they agree to Night City's conditions, but they also told Night City about the "Black Rose" and the original plan.

"There are twelve seats in the "Knights of the Round Table". We were missing one before. When we were in the Holy Land, the eleventh seat also died at the hands of the "Shadow Courtyard".

So now you are temporarily the eleventh seat of the "Knights of the Round Table". During meetings and in the Order, you can call yourself "Galahad."

As Mordred spoke, he took out a red pill from his arms and handed it to Night City.

"This is the core secret of our Diabolos Cult and also our ultimate goal.

As long as you eat the essence of Diabolos, you will gain more powerful and immortal power.

What the low-level members of the cult and the sons of Diabolos eat is just the cracked product of this thing."

Reaching out to take the red pill handed over by Mordred, Yecheng could also feel the power contained in the pill in his hand.

It is better to say that it is a collection of power than a pill, and Yecheng can clearly feel that this thing seems to have life.

Jeno Gulifi, who kidnapped Alexia before, seems to have eaten something similar, but the quality is far different from the one in his hand now.

Yecheng reached out to take the pill, and then after a moment of hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed it.

"Boom——————!"

At the moment when he swallowed the essence of Diabolos, the magic power on his body burst out uncontrollably, and the powerful air storm even blew Mordred in front of him back several steps.

"How is it? This is the power of our Diabolos Cult. This powerful power is very addictive, right?

I didn't expect that your strength is so much stronger than I imagined. It seems that the eleventh seat is only temporary for you."

When seeing Yecheng swallow the essence of Diabolos in front of him, Mordred no longer doubted Yecheng's loyalty.

No, it should be said that even if Yecheng had ulterior motives before, Mordred doesn't have to worry about it now.

The essence of Diabolos can indeed give others powerful abilities and a certain degree of immortality.

But because the research has not been thoroughly perfected, this essence is both a powerful force and a shackle.

As long as the essence of Diabolos is used, it will be labeled as a cult and can no longer be separated from this thing.

And how many people can resist the temptation of immortality and power?

After experiencing such a powerful power, how many people can be willing to change back to their original selves?

Human nature is greedy, which Mordred knows better than anyone, so when Night City used the "Essence of Diabolos", Mordred knew very well that the other party had been completely tricked.

"We can go back and deal with the matter of the Kingdom of Oriana later. Anyway, the throne and the ring are now in our hands, and the "Black Rose" is already in our pocket.

The latest order of the cult now requires us to win the "Martial God Festival".

The royal family of the Kingdom of Midgar is full of incompetent people. The only one who can show off is the first princess Alice Midgar. It can even be said that she now represents the royal family.

And what we have to do is to completely defeat the other party in the "Martial God Festival", break the people's faith and popularity in her, and indirectly control the Kingdom of Midgar."

After leaving the so-called cult order, Mordred left.

Soon after he left, Ye Cheng, whose spiritual pressure had exploded, began to gradually return to normal with his scarlet eyes.

Then, accompanied by a surge of magic power, a drop of blood with a strange color slowly emerged from his palm.

The essence of Diabolos, in the final analysis, is actually the thing refined from the blood of the demon Diabolos.

Eating this thing can indeed gain huge power and achieve a certain degree of immortality, but the price is also quite obvious.

That is, the body will be constantly eroded, so that it will become a kind of existence similar to "half-demon".

The so-called "immortality" is simply nonsense, because the life span will be longer, which is entirely due to their life phenomenon. Obviously, they have transformed from humans to another species.

Ye Cheng swallowed this thing directly before because he felt that the so-called essence was also a collection of magic power.

As long as it is magic power, he is sure to use his own magic power to squeeze it out of his body through compression.

Ye Cheng did not throw away the "Diabolos Essence" squeezed out of the body, but found a container to store it, maybe it can be used in the future.

The "Martial God Festival" is still going on, but since Ye Cheng's battle with the ever-victorious golden dragon Gold, the current trend has completely changed.

Many people thought that the first princess Alice was the champion of this "Martial God Festival". After all, she had always been the "strongest magic swordsman" in Midgar.

But since that day, people in the capital now think that Ye Cheng is the favorite to win the championship!

After two days of fierce battles, the top four of the "Martial God Festival" have all competed.

Among the top four, besides Yecheng and Alice who were expected by everyone, the other two can be regarded as the absolute dark horses of this "Martial God Festival".

Among these two dark horses, one is Jimina Sene who looks like he has kidney deficiency and even staggers when walking.

The other is Mordred, the purple-haired knight who had no reputation before, but easily defeated Annelojie, one of the Seven Martial Swordsmen, in the quarterfinals.

To be honest, except for Yecheng and Alice, no one else expected that the other two who advanced to the top four would be such a kidney deficiency man and an unknown knight.

On the same day of the finals, Claire and Yecheng's stepfather, Gus, also rushed to the capital from the Omega Territory.

Gus, who had just arrived in the capital, was taken to the palace by the guards as soon as he entered the city gate. He was said to be invited by His Majesty the King, which made our master Gus look confused.

To be honest, he was a border baron, and there were at least 800 of them in the kingdom, if not 1,000. He had been a baron for so long, but he had never even seen the King of Midgar in person, so he really didn't expect that His Majesty the King would look for a small person like him.

Gais, who was confused, was first taken to the palace, and then inexplicably was made a marquis of the kingdom and given a larger territory.

While he was still confused about his sudden rise to fame, His Majesty the King actually enthusiastically invited him to watch the "Martial God Festival".

During the whole process, a white-haired girl was very attentive to him. At first, he thought she was a maid.

But later he found out that she was actually the second princess!

Gais: God, this place in the capital is too crazy!
