I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 522 Thinking of a Way Out, the Compassionate King

"You are back, Master Zhang Hong."

"You seem to be troubled. If you have any questions that you can't figure out, you can talk to me, an old man. Although I am old, I have seen a lot of people, and maybe I can give you some advice."

At the Firelink Shrine, on the throne, the Nameless Wage King Rudolf watched Zhang Hong place the head of the Fran Undead Knight containing the king's soul on the throne, and then sat beside the throne and fell into deep thought.

I couldn't help but speak up to enlighten him.

Zhang Hong raised his head and looked at the short old man who looked like charcoal. He sighed and said, "Sir Rudolf, how many years ago was the last time you passed on the fire?"

"Well, I'm sorry, I don't know. Decades? Hundreds of years?"

"Have you ever seen the First Fire?"

"I'm sorry, I have never seen it. Since the throne was activated to pass on the flame, the subsequent Cinder Kings like me have never seen the Primordial Fire again."

"…Have you ever thought that the First Flame will eventually go out?"

"Haha, of course I have thought about it. A thousand years from now, or maybe a hundred years from now, who knows? This is something that future generations need to consider. Our generation has its own problems to solve. Compared to the dead silence and darkness, a world with vitality and light is always more desirable."

After defeating the Fran's Undead Squad and getting back the first "firewood", Zhang Hong was not in a good mood.

He felt that the fate of Chuanhuo was too heavy.

He began to have concerns in his heart - not because he was against the transmission of fire, but because he was thinking about whether there was a better way to get the world out of this cursed setting.

Under the rules of the First Fire, this world is basically a living hell. Human beings can only struggle to survive in an ever-repeating cycle of reincarnation and suffer eternally.

[Damn you, old thief Yingqi...]

Zhang Hong was able to understand some of the resentment of Supreme Superman and his gang.

Just like the Warhammer world, although the design is very exciting and the story is fascinating, for people living in such a world, such a setting is really too despairing.

No wonder the big guys like Superman Supreme who have transcended the universe are looking for ways to counterattack the origin plane and completely reverse the fate of their world.

If Zhang Hong lived in such a world, he would probably rebel as well...

But the problem is, he is now the one being rebelled, and he doesn't want the Origin World to be harmed by Superman Prime and his gang.

Who knows what crazy things these guys will do.

After all, judging from what they did in merging the multiverse, they have no respect for life at all, especially the lives of ordinary people.

We've gone off topic... Zhang Hong withdrew his thoughts from the events of the Origin World and returned to the matter of passing on the fire.

He was seriously considering other ways to save the world.

Break the cycle of curse and bring true salvation to the world...

With the knowledge from several worlds, Zhang Hong already had some clues, but he still needed to carefully verify it. This matter must not be done casually, as it not only concerns the survival of this world, but also whether he can get his own power back...

After chatting a lot with the old man Rudolf, Zhang Hong also learned a lot of world secrets.

After upgrading and taking a nap at the Fire Keeper's place, all the mental fatigue was swept away.

Once again, we set out on the road of passing on fire, heading towards the next location of the Fire King, the City of Sin.

The City of Sin is the burial place of the Giant King Youm, once one of the Fire Kings, and perhaps the most powerful of all the Fire Kings.

But I heard that he is actually an extremely kind and powerful man. Although he is discriminated against because of his identity as a giant, he is willing to become the King of Fire and sit on the Fire Throne for the sake of the people who hate him.

The saint who repays evil with kindness is no more than this.

From the underground passage of the Fran Fortress, you can go to the City of Sin and the Cold Valley.

On the way, we passed through the underground tombs of Kasas and the Demon Ruins, the birthplace of demons. It is said that this was once the kingdom of the Izalith witches in ancient times. The witches' research on the power of the first fire led to the birth of demons...

Today, the City of Sin is conducting similar research, creating a never-extinguishing fire of sin, causing the residents of the City of Sin to turn into twisted monsters, and the prosperous city-state is destroyed.

Exactly the same as Izalith thousands of years ago.

It can only be said that it is difficult for humans to learn lessons from history.

Zhang Hong's adventure in the dungeon was uneventful, although he encountered groups of skeletons, the ghosts of ancient kings, huge ancient demons, and giant sandworms entrenched in the underground sulfur lake.

But these monsters didn't cause any particular trouble to Zhang Hong.

Zhang Hong is focused and he is just an emotionless killing machine and a tool for spreading fire.

I only want to retrieve the souls of the remaining three Cinder Kings as soon as possible and bring them back to the Firelink Shrine.

Zhang Hong works very hard and his efficiency in drawing is incredibly high.

In just a few days, they killed their way through the maze-like underground city and almost slaughtered all the monsters and demons lurking in it.

I successfully arrived at the City of Sin, and after hacking and killing all the way, I arrived at the hall where the giant king Youm was sleeping.

But I accidentally met an old acquaintance here - the Onion Knight.

"Why are you here too?"

The Onion Knight did not answer, but walked straight towards the huge figure sitting on the throne. The dim embers burned slowly on the giant's body.

The Onion Knight said solemnly, "My good friend, Yum, Jackbaldo of Catalina, is here to fulfill his promise."

After saying that, he raised a big sword and rushed towards the Giant King.

At this time, the Giant King had obviously completely lost his humanity. He roared, stood up from the throne, and swung a huge weapon that was more than ten meters long to chop down his head.

boom!

The earth shook and the stone ground was shattered into pieces by his enormous force.

The Onion Knight was well prepared. He raised his hands high to gather strength, then swung them down suddenly. Suddenly, a huge sword energy burst out from his sword.

It fell on the giant Yum, cutting a huge wound.

The giant roared angrily, jumped up, and smashed down on the Onion Knight like a mountain.

"careful!"

Zhang Hong swung out his hook and grabbed the ankle of the giant in mid-air. He pulled hard and the rope tightened, causing the giant's falling trajectory to shift by half a meter.

The Onion Knight took advantage of the situation and rolled over to avoid the attack.

He stood up with an agility that was not in line with his chubby body, and shouted to Zhang Hong: "Go to the throne and get the Storm Binder. Only that sword can deal with giants!"

After saying that, he rushed forward again to attract the attention of the Giant King.

Seeing this, Zhang Hong had to ignore him for the time being and went to the throne to look for the weapon in the Onion Knight's mouth. Sure enough, he saw a big sword exactly the same as the one in the Onion Knight's hand stuck in the stone slab.

Zhang Hong pulled it out and as soon as he grasped the hilt, he immediately felt the magical power contained in the sword.

He injected his strength into it, and it was filled with strength in a breath. Zhang Hongchao slashed down with his sword, and immediately the sword body flew out a huge sword energy like the Onion Knight before, standing on the giant Youm.

This is actually a magical weapon that has its own sword-slashing energy!

And it is obvious that this sword energy has extra damage to giants. Every time the giant Youm is hit by the sword energy, he obviously suffers huge damage and his movements become slower.

Finally, with the joint efforts of Zhang Hong and the Onion Knight, after enduring more than ten sword blasts, the Giant King's tower-like body collapsed and turned into flying ashes in the sky.

"it's all over……"

The Onion Knight sat down on the ground, breathing heavily, "Thank you, thank you, my friend. If it weren't for you, I would have broken my promise..."

Zhang Hong looked at the place where the giant disappeared, then looked at the Storm Sword in his hand, and asked in a deep voice: "What on earth is going on?"

This battle was too simple, as if it was deliberately designed. In order to prevent the Firebringer from being defeated, weapons that could restrain giants were placed on the battlefield for the Firebringer to take at his will.

The Onion Knight was silent for a moment.

He spoke in a low voice, "These two swords were specially made by Youm before his death to make it easier for others to destroy the weapons he left behind. One was given to me and the other was left to the Fire Bearer. Youm was afraid that he would eventually become a zombie and bring great harm to his people, so he set up such an insurance. He is too kind..."

Zhang Hong: “…”

This is what is happening.

Zhang Hong, who learned the truth, was once again broken down.

Good people don't die well. He once again felt the deep malice of this world.
