Chapter 315 Memory Fragments
"it was all your fault!"

"We could have gone back to the surface!"

Countless mushrooms and clods hurled towards the prison cart beside Rhodes, and ordinary Macan people stood on both sides of the road with angry expressions, as if the girl on the prison cart had a blood feud with them.

The ferocious and distorted expressions on their faces formed a strong conflict with their good looks.

Rhodes didn't know what she did outside the lifting platform, what kind of policy she formulated, which made these Macan people resent to such an extent.

The prison van drove slowly along the street and stopped in front of a court-like building.

A few soldiers in metal armor stepped forward and escorted the girl towards the gate of the court. The girl's pure white robe was stained with dirt at some point, and it looked a bit eye-catching.

A piece of dirty mud flew across the sky and hit her face. She reached out to wipe the mud off her face, and turned her head to look in the direction from which the mud flew.

It was a child, and it happily showed off its achievements to the surrounding partners. After the girl got off the car, only it had the courage to throw the mud at her.

"Your Majesty Philomena, it's time for a trial." The false god killed by Rhodes walked past the girl in an exquisite dress and said to her with a smile on his face.

As soon as the screen changed, Rhodes came to the inside of the court.

The ground of the court is paved with black marble, with tall columns erected on both sides, which looks very solemn.

Philomena stood in the cage in the middle, and the judge on the high platform listened to the people in the courtroom one by one coming to the stage to tell her crimes.

"It's all her fault! We could have stayed on the ground and lived the same comfortable life as before, but now? Mushrooms, mushrooms, eating mushrooms every day, I have a mushroom smell that can't be washed off."

"Obviously there are enough resources in the shelter, why do we have to restrict our births! They also make couples draw lots to determine whether they are eligible to have children. Such a ridiculous rule, a person like her will never understand the complete How important family is!"

"As the queen, I don't care about what we want at all. We want to return to the land and fight to the death with those ugly lizards! Even if the whole army is wiped out, it's better than lingering on like this to 'keep the fire of civilization' as she said. Much more!"

……

Rhodes stood aside and silently watched the Mekans accuse the girl of the "crime".

Most of what she wants to do is not wrong, such a huge empire has been wiped out by giant dragons, if these Macan people leave this refuge, how can they compete with those giant dragons outside.

Not everyone is on the opposite side of her.

Some disabled veterans backed her idea.

Rhodes learned from the words of those veterans that these Macan people did not only occupy the Rocky Mountains to the High Mountain Province, but occupied most of the continent. Before the arrival of the giant dragon, they were the most powerful civilization on the continent.

It may be that the most glorious place of their civilization was destroyed by the giant dragon. Tens of thousands of years later, their relics can only be found in remote places such as the Rocky Mountains and the Alpine Province.

And the giant dragons did not only occupy the territory of the later Nord Kingdom. According to the veterans who came to power, they had conquered the entire continent, and all races and civilizations had surrendered to them.

But the dragons prefer the northern environment, so most of the dragons stay in the north.

Since the strength of the Macan people made the giant dragons feel threatened, the giant dragons didn't give them a chance to surrender at all, and wanted to completely extinguish the fire of their civilization.

There are still a small number of people who speak up for Philomena, and those who dare to speak out are arrested without exception, even if they are soldiers who survived the battlefield.

Whether those people threw mud at her or accused her in front of her face, she could face it calmly, just staring at them coldly.

And after those veterans were knocked to the ground by soldiers equipped with power armor, she could no longer maintain her composure.

A majestic and vast white light rose from her body, lighting up the entire courtroom, and everyone present couldn't help but cover their stinging eyes.

But the light only appeared for a moment, and soon dissipated.

"Even the crown on your head has abandoned you and no longer provides you with strength." The false god killed by Rhodes said disdainfully standing on the bench, holding a crown in its hand.

Philomena, who was standing in the middle of the court, put her hand on her forehead in pain, and stood there unsteadily, looking like she was about to faint.

Boom!
Eventually she fell to the ground.

The picture gradually became blurred, and the surrounding accusations sounded loud again, and Rhodes standing aside felt as if the Macan people were standing in his head and condemning him.

Rhodes felt a breath of abyss on the crown, that kind of breath full of malice and weirdness.

The scene turned again, and Rhodes came to a dark room, the room where Philomena had been imprisoned for tens of thousands of years.

The false god killed by Rhodes stood in front of her, holding two crowns in his hands, one of which was the one she had worn before, and the other crown had the aura of the abyss.

The current him is a little different from the few times Rhodes saw it before, and he began to have a faint aura of false gods.

"The inheritance of your family has been transformed by me. Now most of the power of group cohesion belongs to me. You can stay here and sleep forever. When I lead the people to regain the position of overlord, I will wake you up , to show you how incompetent you are." The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a smug smile.

In a trance Philomena falls asleep.

Time was still passing fast, and Rhodes saw some scenes through some people praying to Philomena, and the flames of war were burning outside.

Most of the Macan found life harder after imprisoning their one-time queen, their only remaining guardian.

That Macan man is a complete lunatic, and he arranged a lot of unfinished work for them. The resources of the shelter were quickly consumed, all of which were used to manufacture power armor and mechanical creations, and even the high tower that emitted light on time was destroyed. Extinguished, all because the Mecan wanted to return to the surface and defeat the dragon.

As a result, the rebellion broke out, countless Macan people died, and civilization was gradually destroyed.

The strangely shaped and alien-style buildings that Rhodes saw before were all destroyed.

Even the great court where Philomena was tried was reduced to ruins.

The war lasted for more than ten years, and most of the remaining Macan people stood in the same camp against the Macan who had become a false god.

When the Mecan army defeated all the remaining forces of the false god, he went completely mad.

He drew most of the power from Philomena's crown into a curse that cursed all the remaining Macan.

The remaining Macan died quickly before they could rebuild civilization on the ruins.

At that time, ordinary Mecan people had a lifespan of thousands of years, and most of them only lived for one or two hundred years. They were still very young, and their vitality was absorbed by that strange curse.

The civilization of the Mecans has truly broken down.

Their descendants also degenerated rapidly, slowly becoming what they are now.

A small portion of the life force absorbed by the curse enters the body of the false god.

In other words, the soul is attached to the body that has turned into a ghoul, turning into an undead.

The little humanity left was rapidly dissipating, and he chose to sleep.Lest all humanity dissipate and become a ghoul or living corpse without wisdom and emotion.

Most of the vitality entered into Philomena's sleeping body, so she could live from tens of thousands of years ago to the present.

What entered her body together with the vitality was also the huge resentment and negative emotions, tormenting her in a deep sleep.

Rhodes stood in place, feeling the rapid passage of time, even though the flow of time had been accelerated thousands of times, it was tens of thousands of years.

Even at this rate, he would have to wait another few decades.

He left the room and walked to the edge of the tower, looking at the lifeless and hopeless world under the countless stairs.

The gradually degraded descendants of the Macan people are fighting aimlessly below, establishing new rules and classes, the upper class is intoxicated with power and desire, and the lower class people are struggling to survive.

They are like living in a box, never thinking that there is a bigger world outside.

Rhodes suddenly felt that human beings are actually no different from them?
