I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 540: Saving the Princess, Loyal Knight

Such a living person must be saved.

The question is how to save it?

Sheila didn't know.

Zhang Hong had no idea either.

We can only clear out the deformed creatures in the Ring City first.

Kill the abyss creatures and alien monsters wandering here, including a mad descendant of an ancient dragon.

There is also the guardian of the Ringed City who originally swore to protect the princess, but has been contaminated by the abyss and has almost lost his sanity.

After doing all this, Zhang Hong invited Youershika to the Ring City Cathedral.

I hope this only remaining descendant of the gods, the youngest daughter of the Sun King, can find a solution.

"Who is this……"

Sheila was very surprised to see Yuershika in person. The aura of the half-dragon girl made her sure that she was indeed the descendant of the Sun King.

“Don’t be nervous. I was born in the world of painting, and few people in the world know of my existence.”

"…Greetings, Your Highness. My name is Sheila, and I am the maid of Princess Felianor, and also a member of the royal branch."

"So, we are sisters. Sister Sheila, can you tell me the details of the situation here?"

After a detailed discussion, Yurshika had a general understanding of the situation here.

So he let Shira lead the way to the place where Felianor was buried.

Deep inside the cathedral, in a room full of vines and flowers, golden sunlight shone through the skylight onto the bed. A tall, black-haired woman was sitting on the bed, holding a broken white giant egg in her arms. Her body was slightly heaving, her eyes were closed, and she looked like she was fast asleep.

She was wearing a white gauze dress and an exquisite silver headband on her head. Her face was as white and flawless as a piece of jade, and her skin emitted a faint fluorescent light. She was as holy as a god. She was worthy of being a blood relative of the Sun King, with an extraordinary appearance and temperament.

Facing the arrival of everyone, the sleeping princess was unaware and continued to sleep quietly.

"elder sister……"

Yuershika looked at the sleeping princess and murmured with a complicated expression.

After a moment, she turned around and said to Zhang Hong and Xila, "Sister's situation is very bad. The seal of Ring Seal City has been seriously damaged. After thousands of years, sister's life has been integrated with the seal and is also in danger... I have a way to let her escape from it temporarily, but you must complete one thing within the time limit, remove the dark blood in the seal... Zhang Hong, only you can enter the seal..."

Zhang Hong nodded, "I understand. Leave it to me. I will eliminate the guy who broke into the seal."

According to Sheila, the situation in the Ringed City has deteriorated to such an extent that the princess has to sleep with her egg in her arms. This is all because an outsider broke into the Ringed City, destroyed the seal of the Dark Soul, and entered the sealed world. Princess Felianor had no choice but to sacrifice herself to fill the broken seal.

The seal contains the power of time for thousands of years. If it explodes, the princess will die instantly.

Therefore, it is necessary to open a vent from the inside first to release some of the power of the seal, and only then can Yurshika peel the princess off from the seal.

"Please, Lord Yu Hui, time is running out. I can only last for six hours..."

Yurshika reached out and touched the broken giant egg in Felianol's arms. A dazzling golden light burst out from the touch and spread throughout Yurshika's body. She stretched out her other hand and touched Zhang Hong.

Then Zhang Hong was wrapped in golden light, and with a flash of light, he was teleported to the sealed world.

The sky was filled with yellow sand, the wind was howling, the ruined city was buried in the undulating sand dunes, the world had turned into a desert with no end in sight, extremely desolate, the dim sun in the sky was hidden deep in the clouds, shining on a world that seemed to have reached its end.

Zhang Hong saw the Royal City of Lothric and Anor Londo half buried in the sand, and felt as if he had arrived at the end of time in a parallel world.

Is this another possibility for the destruction of the world?

Swallowed by the desert?

He was in a dilapidated house, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was the church where Felianor was buried.

He turned around and saw that the place where Felianor was standing had been replaced by a dried corpse. From the clothes and body shape, it could be seen that the corpse was that of the princess, still in a sleeping posture, which was consistent with what Zhang Hong had seen before.

It was as if the princess had been sleeping like this for tens of millions of years, until the end of time, when she turned into a mummy.

[I must have traveled through time... I must find the Dark Soul as soon as possible...]

Zhang Hong walked outside and ran across the sand dunes. There were some remaining buildings in the distance. Perhaps he could find the sealed dwarf kings there.

After destroying several wandering spirits of the Ringed Knights, Zhang Hong soon saw the dwarf kings wandering in a ruin deep in the desert.

"Felianol...save me...I am in so much pain..."

The broken zombie wearing a brass crown and tattered clothes crawled slowly on the sand like a dying maggot.

The remaining sanity let out painful calls, calling out the name of God. It seemed like they had no idea how long they had been wandering in the desert in this agony.

Deep in the ruins, various zombies dressed as kings appeared. Many of them had been chopped into pieces and completely lost the ability to move.

After tens of millions of years, the former dwarf kings have all turned into mindless zombies, trapped in the curse of undeath.

Finally, Zhang Hong found the intruder in the ruins. He was wearing a red turban, a dirty beard, and a hunched body wrapped in rusty armor. He was the missing old man Gale who came out of the painting world to look for the blood of darkness.

When Zhang Hong found him, he was lying on the corpse of a dwarf king, gnawing on the flesh and blood.

His body was covered in blood, and it was obvious that the remains of the corpses that had been eaten by wild beasts were the work of this old knight.

"Blood... we need more blood... you over there, give us your blood..."

The scarlet eyes under the red headscarf stared at Zhang Hong cruelly, and then he pounced on him like a wild beast with a roar.

Zhang Hong knew that the old knight had lost his mind and was beyond redemption.

He drew his sword and rushed forward.

……

The swords flashed and the old body knelt on the ground, covered with huge wounds.

The old knight touched his chest with his hand, looked at his hands full of black blood, and said in surprise: "Ah... Is this the black blood filled with dark souls... It turns out that it is in me..."

"In this way... Miss's painting... can also be completed... Thank you..."

After saying this, the old knight’s broken body fell down, turned into ashes and drifted away with the wind.

Only his broken sword, a ball of deep soul fire polluted by the abyss, and a body filled with dark blood were left in the ashes.

Zhang Hong picked up the relics in front of the mountain.

Looking at the broken sword left by Gale, it was full of gaps, and the dark red blood and rust merged into a thick layer.

It is conceivable that Gale had been fighting with this sword for an unknown period of time and had gone through unimaginable hardships before he came to this sealed place at the end of time.

Find the sealed dwarf kings.

However, he discovered that the dwarf kings had already turned into bloodless mummies, so he had no choice but to devour the dark souls and turn his own blood into dark blood.

However, his sanity was eroded by the darkness, and he became a wandering soul trapped in the desert.

With the arrival of Zhang Hong, the loyal knight was finally freed and fulfilled his promise to the eldest lady... He found the thing that could save the painting world, but at the cost of his own life and soul.

And the destruction of the Ringed City...

The earth began to shake violently, and the wind intensified like a rage. It seemed that as the dark soul was taken away, this sealed world began to collapse.

Golden light emerged from Zhang Hong's body and a gravitational force came. Zhang Hong did not resist and allowed himself to be dragged into the vortex.

The transmission light flickered, and Zhang Hong felt his body lighten, then returned to normal. The light dissipated, and he had returned to the original timeline.

The half-dragon Yurshika, the female knight Shira, and the sleeping Princess Felianor are right in front of them.

The Church of Felianor in the Ringed City was still intact, but the vines and flowers in the room began to wither rapidly. The body of the lively and beautiful Princess Felianor rapidly transformed into a mummy, and the giant egg in her arms had been completely shattered into a pile of pieces.

Yurshika had a painful look on his face, clenched his teeth, and held Felianol in one hand. Both of them were shrouded in golden light, as if they had established some kind of connection.

"Hurry... Zhang Hong... I need your help..."
