Chapter 1478 Exploring the Cemetery
"Back off," Zhou Ning suddenly said. Smith Hall was a little confused. The next second, he felt someone grabbing his collar and subconsciously took a step back. Then, as he looked on in astonishment, a dark aura rushed towards him. The corpses on the ground exploded indiscriminately, spreading madly towards where he had been standing.
An unlucky player happened to be relatively close and was directly dissolved within the range of the corpse explosion, with only time to drag out a long tail sound.
This is a fusion of darkness and the power of death, symbolizing true destruction and annihilation.
Only high-ranking members of the Curse Cult above the level of Angel King can control this power.
"Thank you...thank you." Smith Hall felt sweat dripping down his back and hurriedly thanked him. He had just felt the imminent death.
Zhou Ning released his grip on his collar and shook his head, signaling him not to be nervous. After a quick glance around, he walked to the front of the group. Thus, the scene formed where Zhou Ning was alone in the front, followed closely by a group of Angel Kings.
"The only one who can make the Angel Kings of the Church of the God of War become his followers is probably Boss Wayne."
Seeing this scene, the players were filled with pride. As members of the Starry Sky Church, if Wayne was awesome, they were awesome too. No problem.
"Damn...what was that noise just now? I was so scared."
Elsewhere, XB returned from his corpse, cursing and swearing, and the livestream was filled with another round of sarcasm. But this time, he wasn't acting. The spot where his body lay had become a crater over ten meters wide, as if it had been blasted by a nuclear bomb.
As expected, it was XB again, dying so quickly. Zhou Ning couldn't help but curl his lips. Not to mention XB, even Smith Hall would have died in that corpse explosion just now.
Now Fort Bordan has fallen into complete chaos. If he guessed correctly, the Cult of the Curse should have invaded this core area several hours ago, and now it is very likely that they have entered the time singularity before him.
As the most powerful secret sect in "Apocalypse", the Cult of the Curse God should be a god-follower, and its strength can be compared with that of ordinary orthodox churches. It should definitely not be underestimated.
Along the way, there were still many corpses on the ground from the Byron Republic Military, the Earth Ring Squad, the Curse Cult, and even the Craftsmen and Alchemy Church. Many times, under the influence of the power of darkness and death, they either exploded without warning or staggered to their feet, but they were all resolved with ease by Zhou Ning.
About 5,6 or minutes later, the gate of the Bordenburg National Cemetery suddenly appeared in front of everyone. The front was pitch black, with shadows everywhere and thick fog everywhere.
This is the place where the time element is most active in the entire Boldan Castle, and it is also the place where all the special things gather. Everywhere you look, you can see extraordinary people wearing various clothes lying in different places.
Zhou Ning frowned. Unlike the dead bodies outside, the time of death should be similar, but most of the bodies near the entrance showed signs of decay, and it seemed that they had been dead for a long time.
Casey, who had a white beard and relatively flat facial features, said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, be careful. These corpses lack normal souls and may have been devoured by someone."
“Normally, after a body dies, a soul will remain. Powerful transcendents may even leave behind a spirit body, along with a large amount of cold and gloomy aura.
"In a situation like this, it could only be someone from the realm of darkness and death who was responsible. And judging by the traces they left behind, their strength is definitely not low." Zhou Ning nodded, glancing at the foggy, pitch-black interior of the cemetery. He grabbed the Nine-Revolution Lotus Lantern from the timeline, passed through the cemetery gate, where many bodies lay lying, and headed inside.
The next second, Zhou Ning entered a hazy and misty world. He sensed the passage of time and felt the surroundings filled with time elements that were so thick that they were almost sticky. He even heard low and rhythmic breathing, as if there was some kind of living monster inside.
Soon Zhou Ning discovered the source of the panting sound. In the central area of the cemetery, there was a huge, illusory bronze dragon, which was surveying its surroundings with a vigilant attitude.
The typical Western dragon is several hundred meters tall and two to three thousand meters long, with wings that can block out the sun.
This was the first owner of the authority of time, the ancient god Ramsden, the Dragon of Time. Legend has it that the God of Creation seized the authority of time from him.
In a sense, He is also the embodiment of time. He still wanders the timeline to this day. Some of the irregularities in the temporal realm here are also closely related to Him.
"It should just be a projection on the timeline, not a big threat." Zhou Ning took a look and chose to ignore it. Too much attention would only provoke the other party's attack.
The others simply didn't see it, as only creatures with the power of time could see it. Zhou Ning simply didn't bother to remind them, as under normal circumstances, the two sides shouldn't have any intersection.
"In the name of the God of War, I declare that fog is forbidden to condense here." Smith Hall thrust his right palm forward, declaring a decree. The effect was not obvious, but as the other Angel Kings followed suit, the thick fog within a ten-meter radius began to dissipate.
Although the fog here is a special weather condition constructed by the element of time, the effect is immediate when targeted by the law.
"Damn, with all my years of experience with horror movies, this place is definitely haunted."
"Are there any hunters with black dogs? Could you give me some blood?"
"Is boy's urine okay?"
"No, I'm afraid of needles."
The players followed Zhou Ning, looking around curiously. They originally thought that this would be a scary scene similar to the ancient city of Waters, but unexpectedly, apart from being a little eerie, it was just an "ordinary" cemetery.
Surrounding the area were densely packed tombstones, arranged in a circular pattern, much like the many cemeteries on the Apocalypse Continent. The tombstones were mostly constructed of black sandstone, giving it an inexplicably eerie appearance. This was a tradition of the Byron Republic. In the mythological texts of the Earth Goddess sect, black sandstone was considered the material most closely resembling the essence of the earth.
The cemetery has a history of approximately 700 years, but judging by the condition of the tombs, some are clearly older than 2000 years. The latest dates back to 1453, less than a year ago.
This is where all the giant and werewolf royal families of the United Kingdom of Byron Giants and Werewolves are buried. There are no fewer than thousands of graves densely packed together.
Because they have the blood of God, none of these dead werewolves and giant royals are lower than demigods. There are even angels and angel kings, which can be distinguished from the size of the tombs.
The larger the tomb and the more words the epitaph has, the higher the status of the tomb owner.
Zhou Ning, holding the Nine-Turn Lotus Lantern, walked among the tombs, looking for the location of the tomb of Hubbard, the God of Fire, which was shown in the previous TV series video.
If I'm not mistaken, the so-called time singularity should be inside that mausoleum.
Although it is difficult to determine the specific location in the thick fog, it is not difficult for Zhou Ning to lock the location. The particularly large tomb is Hubbard's tomb. It is not a coincidence, and it is most likely near the Time Dragon Ramsden.
Zhou Ning didn't hesitate and headed straight towards the locked direction.
About thirty meters away from the huge body of the Time Dragon Ramsden, Zhou Ning finally saw the tomb of the Fire God Hubbard.
Facing south, the mausoleum is constructed of black sandstone, forming a square platform measuring 20 meters in length and width, and approximately meters in height. To the north, a red fence surrounds a copper-rimmed glass enclosure housing a perpetually lit lamp. Inscriptions are inlaid on the front of the mausoleum, and the light illuminates an unreal world with an illusory clock:
"Here lies buried the Fire God Hubbard—from another timeline."
"He accomplished an incredible feat. Even though it wasn't his own will, it still won't stop him from being remembered forever. The inscription is—Goddess of the Earth."

My health has been taking a turn for the worse lately. My heart issues are old, but the most disgusting thing is that I've developed facial paralysis. One eye is constantly tearing and won't close, making it impossible to eat. The doctor said it will heal, but I'm advised not to overuse my eyes and to get enough rest. This situation has had a huge impact, so I won't be updating regularly for the next few days. At least I have to wait until the situation improves. I hope you all will understand.
