"The Key of Hades...is this thing in your hands now?" Aidonius suddenly asked after hearing Nuo Ling mention the Key of Hades.
"Yes." Nuo Ling glanced at Pleasant, then nodded.
"The old master's arrangement and judgment of the eternal core are really accurate. I didn't expect that this can be matched. This will directly save me the step of smashing the door of Hades." Aidonius looked up to the sky and smiled.
"What do you mean? Are you planning to smash the door to Hades? But in this case... wouldn't Tartarus, which is simply supported by independent space, merge into the real world?" Nuo Ling said in shock.
Aidonius said: "I originally wanted to smash the door of Hades, because the key to Hades has been lost to the present world. If not through this method, the things in Tartarus cannot reach the present world. If there is a key to Hades, , which can be regarded as saving a little trouble."
"Do you want to go to the real world?"
"It's not that I want to go into this world, it's that the tributaries of the Styx that support Tartarus must go into this world." Aidonius said solemnly.
"The tributaries of the Styx must go into the present world? What do you mean?"
"You should know that the main stream of the Styx, including the entire Kingdom of the Underworld, was cut off from the real world during the first cataclysm. After a long period of erosion by evil from outside the territory, it no longer belongs to Santales."
"The reason why the cycle of life and death can be maintained in the present world is all based on the tributary of the Styx that was left behind, which is the Styx in Tartarus."
"I established Hades based on this tributary of the River Styx, established a new cycle of life and death, and forcibly obtained part of the power of death from the ancient god Oy."
"It is precisely because of this that I noticed a change that no one had noticed." Nuo Ling listened to Aidonius's tone becoming more serious, and knew that what the other party said next would be very important, so She continued to ask: "What is the change?" Aidonius said: "The main stream of the Styx began to merge with the scattered tributaries a long time ago. Especially in the past ten years, the tendency of aggregation has become more and more obvious. I am afraid that with Soon, all the discrete tributaries of the Styx will return to the mainstream, and the order of life and death in Santales will cease to exist. You should know what this means."
"What? The River Styx and its tributaries have been like this since the First Era. There has never been any active aggregation. How could such a change happen suddenly?" Nuo Ling was shocked by what Aidonius stated. .
If Santales did not have the support of the Styx, the souls of those who died would have no place to go, and it would be difficult for new life to come.
There may even be no concept of death in the future. No matter how old and damaged the body is, the soul that should have been thrown into the River Styx is still limited here. Even if thousands of years have passed and the body has turned into a pair of withered bones, the person is still alive and feeling. With all the pain and decay.
It would be a true hell on earth. Aidonius said: "The only possibility that can cause changes in the Styx is that there is a big movement in the underworld that has left Santales. The Lord of the Underworld Divine Kingdom, the ancient god Oy who controls life and death, , He is most likely dead, and together with the divinity that contains the authority of life and death, he has been included in the main stream of the Styx."
"Ancient God Oyi..." Nuo Ling muttered this name. It was hard to imagine that this great god who once controlled life and death would one day step into the River Styx.
Nuo Ling said: "So what you mean is that you want to introduce the tributaries of the Styx into the world to block the polymerization reaction?" Aidonius shook his head,
"It's not that simple. The polymerization reaction caused by the main stream of the River Styx cannot be avoided. Even if I bring this tributary of the River Styx from Tartarus to the present world, I cannot avoid the polymerization reaction. It will only delay it for a few years at most. "
"Then... what do you want to do?" Aidonius said: "Let me become a tributary of the Styx River and guide the Styx River to merge into the present world of Santales. This will maximize the To avoid the polymerization reaction of the main stream of the Styx and maintain the cycle of life and death in this world."
"What? You want to become a tributary of the River Styx?" The surprised look on Nuo Ling's face never faded away.
"Yes, I have partial authority over the realm of death. If I take the initiative to integrate into this tributary of the River Styx, I can guide the final direction of this tributary through my will." Aidonius revealed a hint of determination in his eyes. ,
"This is also why I chose to strip away the power of wealth in my divinity and simply integrate the power of death into the tributaries of the Styx. I can guide this Styx to the greatest extent."
"But you will die! The essence of the River Styx is nothingness. Even if you can guide the final direction of the River Styx with your own will and the authority of the death domain after integrating into the River Styx, your consciousness will eventually die in the River Styx and become That river has no substance." Nuo Ling suddenly grabbed Aidonius's shoulders. She did not expect that when she reunited with her old friend again, it would be their last meeting.
"Death is not the end, Minerva. As the only person left in Santales who still holds the power of death, I must make this choice." Aidonius gently removed Nuo Ling's hand. , the tone is firm and unquestionable,
"I will not die, I will become the new Styx of Santales." Nuo Ling retracted her hand. She understood that once her friend made up his mind, no one could change his actions.
Although thousands of years have passed, his friend is still the god of wealth who stands at the forefront of Santales, and his firmness and kindness have never changed.
"Don't be sad, Minerva. Maybe after thousands of years, the name of the Styx will be changed to Aidonius. I hope that at that time, there will still be people in this world who will think of me." Aidonius said to him Nuo Ling said,
"I must complete this matter while my current sanity is still intact. If these things outside the territory invade my sanity again before that, then it will not only be me, but also the entire world."
"...Then tell me how we can cooperate with you so that you can strip the wealth and power from you to the core host." After what Aidonius said, Nuo Ling understood. the other party’s decision.
The extraterritorial evil has invaded Hades and even affected all the gods in Hades. Aidonius must have been affected to a certain extent by it. If he cannot do the right thing when he is awake now, he will wait until the extraterritorial evil is completely After twisting his sanity, it will only bring about much worse results than now.
"It's not difficult to strip away authority, and it became even easier after I saw this core host." Aidonius replied.
"What do you mean?" Nuo Ling and Plisson had questions at the same time.
"The greed pattern in his body already possesses part of the power of wealth, and is extremely suitable for accepting the power of wealth. Moreover, he has not yet set foot in the Holy Realm, so there is a lot of room for manipulation." Aidonius touched his chin.
"There is a lot of room for operation? Mr. Aidonius...how do you want to operate it?" Plisson asked.
Aidonius smiled slightly and said: "I will help you to be promoted to a priest first, and then it will be easier."
