Chapter 212 Emperor's Task
The scene abruptly ended.
But this was already enough.
The death of the Herb Sage.
This was also a very sensational vicious incident in the Court of Judgment.
As a result, the truth was also that he was harmed by the Judgment Knights?
And that last word from the Herb Sage?
Ordinary citizens, although they didn\'t understand what eggs the Herb Sage was talking about, they recognized that reagent.
It was the blessing potion.
All newborns in the Court of Judgment, no, it should be said all newborns in the world, had to be injected with this potion. This potion could help them resist diseases and develop immunity to plagues in their infancy.
Under this potion, the world\'s population indeed began to rise steadily.
The infant mortality rate dropped significantly.
Everyone regarded it as a blessing.
It was also precisely because of this that they had infinite reverence for the empire, which should become the leader of the world.
But...What did it mean?
The Herb Sage\'s words?
Could there also be a problem with the blessing potion?
A huge conspiracy that had enveloped the world for over a thousand years, planned by the empire, seemed to be gradually unfolding with Reji\'s judgment of these judges of the Court of Judgment.
But...
Splat! Splat! Splat!
Before Reji could go judge the next judge.
These judges suddenly bled from their seven orifices. Black blood flowed out from all over their bodies. A nauseating stench of rotting internal organs quickly came. They were as if they had taken poison and died on the spot.
No, it should be said that someone had forced them to take poison.
"Enough, Demon King."
The Second Prince spoke. Danye seemed to have aged ten years. It was he who had triggered the insect eggs in the judges\' bodies, killing them all to prevent Reji from prying into their memories.
Not only that.
Abnormalities also appeared on the side of the citizens of the Court of Judgment who were originally "observing". Cries of surprise rang out from the citizens, mixed with what seemed to be the roars of monsters.
Reji looked down and could see the Court of Judgment in chaos now.
Only to see that the bodies of many citizens had abnormalities. They squatted on the ground and began to twitch and vomit blood. Immediately after, their bodies began to mutate. Insect demon-monsters similar to the Seventh Prince\'s army before seemed to break out of their cocoons and began to slaughter wantonly on the streets.
The appearance of such monsters made the citizens of the Court of Judgment no longer have the heart to watch any projection and could only flee in chaos.
The Second Prince used this method to stop Reji from leaking more information and cut off the projection.
He seemed to have also figured out Reji\'s true identity to some extent.
Thinking carefully about the path of this remnant of the old days.
And finally, those relics revolving around this "Demon King". If the holy sword and the Banner of Command could still be said to be controlled by the Demon King with evil magic, but Lana...
The Second Prince looked at his female attendant. He clenched his fists, but then loosened them. He took a deep breath, and his way of addressing Reji changed.
"I find it hard to imagine what the Emperor did back then to make a descendant of a Hero call himself the Demon King."
"Descendant of the Hero, don\'t you want to judge? Come, let the Oath Sword try me."
After Danye\'s words, Lana took the initiative to walk over. Seeing this, Reji didn\'t stop her.
The female attendant raised the holy sword towards her former master. And this time, even Reji was a bit surprised. The Oath Sword actually had no reaction to the Second Prince, proving that he was not an evil person, or...
Reji directly pierced the spiritual threads into the Second Prince\'s consciousness sea, and Danye didn\'t resist, as if he had already given up, allowing Reji to watch his memories.
His... painful memories.
All the scenes were the most memorable for the person involved.
And for the Second Prince, the memory that he could remember for a lifetime, the most indelible one, was naturally when he was chosen by the Emperor, going from a poor commoner to a noble Second Prince.
--
Danye and Lana appeared in the scene.
They were still very young at this time.
Their faces were youthful, and their clothes were also very simple and plain. They had fought their way out of layers of selection and finally came before the Emperor.
Danye was extremely excited, and Lana, as his childhood sweetheart, was also overjoyed and crying with happiness that her soulmate could rise to fame and success from now on.
But...
Each prince would be bestowed a relic by the Emperor, as well as a mission.
The relic that Danye was given by the Emperor was precisely...
Synthesis.
This relic had no physical form and was more like an ability. Danye in the memory image was obviously very confused and didn\'t understand what this "synthesis" meant.
So...The Emperor stretched out a finger and pointed at Lana beside Danye. And when Danye turned his head again, he was directly stunned.
He saw Lana\'s arm, Lana\'s torso, Lana\'s leg, Lana\'s ear, Lana\'s... head.
After a brief mental blank, Danye went crazy.
Lana was the most important person in his life.
The reason he participated in the Emperor\'s selection was just to be able to live a better life with Lana, just to give Lana happiness.
But now Lana had turned into piece after piece.
The tall shadow sitting on the Emperor\'s throne was still cold, as if an emotionless machine.
Even dismembering the cherished person in front of Danye, the Emperor\'s expression remained unchanged.
The Emperor didn\'t care about Danye\'s anger and hatred.
Instead, threw a bottle to the furious Danye.
Inside the bottle was an ugly twisted larva.
A powerful mental force suppressed Danye. According to the description in Danye\'s memory image, the Emperor\'s oppression was like a boundless black sea.
Danye couldn\'t control himself and could only put the larva in the bottle on the corpse pieces of his childhood sweetheart. Then... he activated the ability of the relic "synthesis".
Immediately after, a miracle happened. The life of the worm really began to combine with Lana\'s corpse.
Those flesh and blood that were cut apart by the Emperor actually began to reconnect and reassemble themselves under the powerful force of the larva and "synthesis".
In just a few breaths, Lana came back again.
She lay on the ground, her chest rising and falling, seeming to indicate the return of life, but her breath was very weak, like a candle in the wind, as if it would be extinguished with a blow.
The Emperor\'s hollow voice continued to resound, telling Danye that the larva synthesized with Lana was precisely the original larva body of the Queen among the insect race.
The original larva needed the supply of offspring to grow.
In other words, more child worms were needed to go into other people\'s bodies in order to provide the original larva with a constant source of theory for the larva body to grow.
And as the larva body grew up, Lan\'s body would also be repaired along with it.
In this way, as long as the larva body grew to a sufficient stage, Lana would naturally wake up like a normal person and even obtain more strength.
So Danye afterwards, for Lana, could only walk on this path of no return.
He began to constantly study the "synthesis" of "eggs" and humans.
He began to parasitize more and more people with the "eggs" of the child worms.
The Emperor indeed didn\'t deceive him.
When he completed the parasitization of all the people in the Court of Judgment, Lana woke up and regained consciousness.
When he completed the parasitization of the three major countries, Lana completely recovered her original memories and emotions. And when his parasitization expanded to the entire world, the current Lana became the Judgment Knight Captain with such powerful strength.

The scene gradually blurred.
Danye\'s memory explained the origin of the insect demons. All of this was not led by the insect race. Instead, it seemed that the insect race was also a victim. The one behind the scenes was still that Emperor.
The feeling of having one\'s memories watched by others was not good, especially such painful memories.
Danye was panting heavily. The Second Prince had long lost his original elegance. Everyone wore a hypocritical mask, and how could he be an exception?
"Descendant of the Hero, can I ask you one last thing?"
"Please… Help me... free Lana."
The Second Prince thought that Reji, as a descendant of the Hero, had the power to control relics, so Lana rebelled. The gap in strength also made Danye no longer struggle. But in fact, Reji shook his head at him.
Danye was stunned at first, and later seemed to understand something. Lana was never controlled. All of this was Lana\'s own consciousness. It was the female knight who once dreamed with him of changing the world, making the world a better place, and hoping that more and more people could be happy.
Lana didn\'t say anything.
She swung the holy sword and pierced it into the Second Prince\'s chest. It was the location of the heart, but it was also the location where the worm that Danye had put into his own body was parasitizing.
After doing all this, Lana didn\'t leave. Instead, she hugged Danye, and their figures fell together into the abyss below. The darkness of Stillwater Prison swallowed them.
In the end, only the Oath Sword returned to Reji\'s side with two items.
One was the Second Prince\'s relic, the "synthesis" ability from his own Hero system. Now because of the combination with Lana, it had turned into the form of a soul fragment.
And the other was a certain token that Danye gave him before his death, as if thanking him for the liberation and also as if for revenge.
Simply put, it was the pass that the Emperor gave to the Second Prince.
The pass to Stillwater Prison - a core like jade
