There is a big gap between the image of this Lord of Hades and Pleasant's expectation. He maintains his human form, a middle-aged man with black hair and black eyes. He wears a golden crown like an osmanthus branch on his head, and wears a luxurious black armor. There are some damage and dents on it, and his face looks pale. And with age, he looks very weak.
In His hand was a broken black spear, which He used as a crutch as he slowly walked forward on that spacious road.
If He hadn't said the name Aidonius, I'm afraid no one would be able to equate this old and weak guy with the Lord of Hades.
"Aidonius? How did you...become like this?" Nuo Ling looked at Aidonius who was walking slowly in front of him in surprise and doubt. Although his breath was extremely familiar, he was now His image is really far from the god of wealth in the star world in Nuo Ling's impression.
"Minerva? I really didn't expect you to come. I didn't expect that when I was about to die, I would be able to meet my former friends." Aidonius saw Nuo Ling's face clearly and looked pale. A smile naturally appeared on his face.
"It would be great if Adam and Eve were here. If I could talk to these two gods of wisdom named by the old master, I would be very happy physically and mentally." Aidonius said with a faint smile.
"I don't know whether these two gods of the Fourth Kingdom have successfully survived the catastrophe, but you, the king of the Kingdom of Hades, how did you get yourself to be like this? You are not even as good as the God of Wealth in the Star Realm before. It's time." Nuo Ling walked up to Aidonius and patted his shoulder.
The appearance of the old gods and men basically maintains a fixed image, they may be young or young, or middle-aged or old. The image they display is often related to the authority they hold.
But if the old god who originally had the appearance of a boy or young man has obviously aged and has become middle-aged or old, then it may be that the divinity of this old god has been seriously damaged and he has entered an extremely weak state. state.
The Aidonius in front of him was in this state.
"I am considered a person who has died once, but I still have to forcefully use the authority of the death domain to extend my life to this point. I am afraid it will not be a surprise for me to change my distorted image into an old man." Aidonius pointed to the hair on his neck. Black Wound said.
He quickly turned his attention to Plissen next to Nuo Ling,
"I can feel that you have an aura of incomplete wealth and authority. You should be the person Thanatos is looking for."
"He said you need to transfer the wealth authority in the divinity to a suitable successor." Plisson nodded.
"Yes, you are indeed a suitable candidate." Aidonius said. Nuo Ling glanced at Plissen, and then said to Aidonius: "Old friend, there is something I want to tell you."
"Oh, what is it?" Nuo Ling said: "You should know about the backhand left by my teacher, the old master you call me, with the help of the eternal core." Aidonius said: "You Does it mean that the old master uses the eternal core to select a suitable successor so that he can help or replace him at the critical moment in his plan to resist the collapse of the world in the future?"
"Yes, but the first catastrophe broke out too suddenly, and the teacher died unexpectedly. This plan could only be launched hastily. With the incomplete eternal core, I became the only executor of this plan. " Nuo Ling said,
"I was too seriously injured in the first cataclysm, so I could only bind myself to the inner space of the eternal core for cultivation, and let its independent consciousness choose the suitable host. This lasted for several epochs. , during this period of time, I was locked in the core space in disguise."
"Not long ago, the Eternal Core finally found a suitable host, which is the person standing in front of you, next to me." After Nuo Ling finished speaking, her and Aidonius's eyes moved to Plissen on the body.
"He...is the heir chosen by the old master? The savior who can withstand the collapse of the world?" Aidonius said in surprise.
The so-called disaster of the collapse of the world is a divination prophecy initiated by the ancient god Ain, the leader of the first divine kingdom and the head of the nine ancient gods, in the second era.
The content of the prophecy shows that Santales will suffer a huge disaster in the future. This disaster is likely to cause the destruction of the gods, the collapse of the present world, and the destruction of the entire Santales.
But how far this future is, the ancient god Ain cannot give a specific answer. Therefore, almost only the First Divine Kingdom and the Fourth Divine Kingdom are making careful preparations and plans to resist the collapse of the world in the future.
In the first divine kingdom, the ancient god Ain reshaped the shape of the Star God Pillar so that it supported the sky and the earth of the star world. He used the star world as the most solid barrier in the world to deal with possible future events. crisis.
In the Fourth Divine Kingdom, the old master has been tinkering with the Eternal Core, believing that the Eternal Core can choose and cultivate a perfect savior on his behalf to resist the unknown disaster.
However, not long after this, the first great cataclysm came quietly. In this cataclysm, the four major divine kingdoms were destroyed, and the old gods suffered a devastating blow. There were very few surviving old gods, and they still remained Almost the only ancient god who can be active in the present world is Frey, the later Elf King.
However, the current world that supports Santales has not been greatly affected by this, and the power of the old gods has not been completely destroyed. At least the country of Hades, Tartarus, and the country of elves, Alheim, are still there.
Some people believe that the disaster of collapse of the world prophesied by the ancient god Ain has ended, while others believe that the first great catastrophe is just a precursor to the disaster of collapse of the world.
However, at the end of the Third Era, the Second Catastrophe came quietly. In the following Fourth Age, there will be a third Catastrophe.
"Now...I am still relying on the tasks given by the Eternal Core to slowly cultivate this core host." Nuo Ling obviously also knew that Plisson, a savior who was not even a saint, was not very convincing. So I can only say that it is still being cultivated.
"Is this so? The Eternal Core will still assign tasks to you? The old master can always tinker with a lot of new things." Aidonius said,
"I wonder what the content of the mission assigned to you by the Eternal Core is?"
"Most of the previous tasks are related to the identity of the host. As for the current task, there are two. One is to promote the host to a saint, and the other... is to use the key of Hades to open Hades. Gate." Nuo Ling said the current mission of the core space.
