About ten days later, the news reached the New Horadrim Church.
In a quiet room, Archangel Tyrell, who had transformed into a human form, was looking at several pieces of information on the table in front of him by the light of candlelight.
In fact, it was not just Kyle and the others who encountered the remnants of the Zakarum Order in the small town. There were several similar sacrifice incidents that occurred in various parts of the world. Demon hunters under the Horadrim Church, After encountering these incidents, they immediately discovered their seriousness, so they sent intelligence back to the church. The intelligence in front of Tyrell were all reports of similar incidents, so every time he browsed one, Tyrell His face turned serious.
As an archangel who has recovered his memory, Tyrell has a long memory. He knows very well what the Zakarum Church is about. The original Zakarum Church completely represented the camp of light and justice. However, it has Because the soul stone that imprisoned Mephisto, the King of Hatred, was eventually seduced and corrupted by Mephisto. Almost everyone in the church fell to the dark side and became Mephisto's minions and lackeys. Today's Sakaran Mu, it is no longer the church that produced the Paladins. In the Sanctuary, the Zakarum believers have become synonymous with the Dark Order.
It is precisely because he knows that the master of the Zakarum Church is Mephisto, the King of Hatred, that Tyrell pays so much attention to it. He knows very well that the sudden activity of the Zakarum Church may be Mephisto. Another Fisto conspiracy.
Just a few years ago, Diablo, the King of Fear, who gathered the power of the Seven Demon Kings, broke out of the seal and once entered the high-level heaven. The archangels of the Angelis Council were not even able to resist Diablo. Luo's overwhelming offensive, and it was Tyrael who relied on the power of the Nephalem to finally defeat Diavolo and re-seal him into the Dark Soul Stone. Tyrael originally planned to take his newly formed Hercules with him. When the Radim Brotherhood completely sealed Diablo's dark soul stone, the fallen angel Malthael suddenly appeared and snatched Diablo's soul stone from him.
The most outrageous thing is that after taking away Diavolo's soul stone, Malthael, the archangel, actually swallowed the soul stone and became extremely powerful with the help of the demon kings.
As a last resort, Tyrael could only rely on the power of the Nephalem again to break into the Chaos Fortress and start a battle with Malthael. In the end, he won the victory with difficulty and defeated Malthael.
Malthael fell from the Chaos Fortress, but in the process of his fall, the soul of Diavolo, who had been swallowed before, also escaped. It was not until this time that Tyrell knew that Malthael actually The power of Diavolo and the Seven Demon Kings was not completely integrated.
From that moment on, Tyrell understood that the Seven Demon Kings might return again. They have immortal souls and will be resurrected again and again just like they did during the eternal war, and then bring suffering to the world again. .
"Is Mephisto, the King of Hatred, the one who returned first?" Tyrell looked at the information in front of him with a headache and muttered to himself: "Is he instructing the Zakarum cultists to call him back?"
But... something seems to be wrong... Tyrell carefully read the description in the intelligence again. If Mephisto wanted to return with the help of the sacrificial ritual, how could the ritual fail? You know, although the souls of the demon kings are immortal, it takes a long time to recover after being severely injured and falling. It has only been a few years since Malthael fell, and Mephisto's soul has recovered He has lost consciousness and is in a relatively weak state. In this state, the scale of the sacrificial ceremony does not need to be too large to actually call his soul back from the world of chaos. So why are the rituals mentioned in these intelligences all named What if it ends in failure?
Just when Tyrell was feeling confused, another piece of new information came over. Tyrell took it over and took a look, and found that it was another report about members of the Horadrim Brotherhood foiling the sacrificial ceremony, but it was different from the previous report. What was different about the report was that the reporter actually recorded the scene with a photographic stone and sent it along.
Through this photo stone, Tyrell finally saw the scene. As a high-level archangel, he was naturally proficient in various demon languages and texts. When he carefully identified the magic circle in the picture, he gradually His face became more and more surprised.
"Holy Light! This... what this ritual wants to summon is not Mephisto, the King of Hatred!?" Tyrell's eyes widened: "But... but an extraterrestrial demon!?"
"Come on! Come on!" Tyrell finally became anxious and shouted quickly. When an attendant from the Horadrim Brotherhood came in, he immediately said: "Notify all the Horadrim immediately. Members of the Brotherhood issued an emergency mobilization order to wipe out the Zakarum cultists at all costs, telling them that the Zakarum cultists are trying to summon a powerful extraterritorial demon king! That is a powerful existence that is no less powerful than the Seven Demon Kings. We cannot let this The conspiracy was successful!"
Tyrael's order was passed down quickly, but it also made the entire Horadrim Brotherhood confused. What did Tyrael mean? The new devil? A new demon king besides the seven demon kings?
Where did it come from?
No matter what the members of the Horadrim Brotherhood thought, Tyrell didn't know that there were eight such things among the Seven Demon Kings, but he was indeed worried because he could indeed identify it from the demonic words carved in the ritual magic circle. With the title [Your Majesty], for demons, those who can use the title [Your Majesty] can only refer to demons of the Demon King level!
"O...Osiris? That's how it's pronounced, right..." Tyrell looked at the picture in the image stone repeatedly, and finally read out the pronunciation of the name in the devil's text, but after reading out the pronunciation of the name , but Tyrell was a little confused again.
Because in his impression, he seemed to have never heard of any demon king with this name...
"Perhaps, I should return to the High-level Heaven..." Tyrell thought: "There is a projection of the Book of Truth from the Garden of Eden in the High-level Heaven. Maybe I can find the origin of this demon king from the Book of Truth... …”
Doing what he thought of, Tyrael immediately set off to return to the higher heaven. After the battle of Malthael, the relationship between Tyrael and the Archangel of Courage Imperius had eased. I think he should be able to see the Book of Truth... …Bar?
However, what Tyrell didn't know was that during the time he was going to the higher heaven, huge changes had occurred in the world of Sanctuary.
The Horadrim Brotherhood followed his instructions and sent a large number of people to wipe out the Zakarum believers. Naturally, many Nephalem descendants also followed. However, when a small group of Nephalems discovered a At the gathering point of the Zakarum cultists, when they were about to take action, they found that they had fallen into a huge trap!
In this gathering point, tens of thousands of Zakarum cultists suddenly poured out, heavily surrounding this small group of Nephalem, and then launched a fearless attack on them, ultimately at the cost of huge casualties. Using human lives to pile up, he finally captured this team of Nephalem.
In fact, this is simply a conspiracy of Mephisto. Mephisto knows very well that with the current scattered distribution of Zakarum believers, they are simply unable to organize a huge summoning ceremony to come from the world of chaos. Roy was summoned from outside, so he first asked the Zakarum cultists to conduct rituals to confuse the Horadrim Church. After they paid attention to it, he asked the Zakarum cultists to set a trap and captured this team of Nephalem. people.
It feels like I’m trying to make a point here…
As a hybrid product of angels and demons, the Nephalem, that is, the Nephilim, possess powerful soul power. Using them as sacrifices can offset the huge consumption of the sacrificial ceremony...
In the end, the Zakarum cultists killed this group of Nephalems, using their blood and souls, plus thousands of Zakarum cultists who died as sacrifices, to finally activate the true sacrifice summons ceremony!
The blood-red magic circle light of the sacrificial ceremony soared into the sky, and the sky in the eastern sanctuary also looked strange and terrifying because of this light. Under the dim sky, the priest of Zakarum who presided over the ceremony looked excitedly at the sky rolling. The clouds swirled and shouted: "May the sun fall to the western dust, may the light disappear, use the sacrifice as a guide, rise from hell, let the abyss come! King of winter! Lord of darkness! Ruler of blood and thunder! Singer of frost and fire! Emperor of disease and war! Eternal master of the dead! In the name of our lord Mephisto, our humble servants sing your true name, Your Majesty Osiris! I implore you to The abyss is coming!”
This summoning mantra was sung in demonic language. It was the mantra that Silas chanted when Roy came to the world of Devil May Cry. After Roy agreed to Mephisto's request, he chanted this mantra. The spell was told to Mephisto, and Mephisto told it to the Zakarum believers, asking them to use this spell to call Roy to come.
The entire world of Sanctuary is actually a world similar to an egg. Sanctuary is in the middle, similar to an egg yolk, and the periphery is a chaotic world like egg white. It is actually the so-called purgatory space, and the entire world is wrapped in an egg shell. , forming a sealing effect, so the space door to be opened in this summoning ceremony is also different from the space door usually opened inside the sanctuary. It is a space-time door opened from outside the egg shell (outside the territory).
This resulted in the impact of this summoning ceremony being completely unprecedented. A strange phenomenon appeared in the eastern sky of the entire Sanctuary. The blood-red light could be clearly seen hundreds of miles away. Countless hunters who observed the strange phenomenon here The demons all rushed here in a hurry.
But they were too late. As the priest chanted over and over again, the magic circle that absorbed the blood and soul of the Nephalem was continuously increasing its power to output magic power. Countless hair-thin magic lightnings were scattered in the sky. Channeling, in the light of this lightning, a deep and dark crack appeared high in the sky, and began to slowly expand.
The dark aura full of malice in the abyss world was revealed along with the slowly opening space cracks, causing everyone who felt this aura to feel a kind of creepy fear. The weak civilians were already looking at the blood-red sky in the distance. Kneel down on the ground, hold your hands and pray continuously.
Eventually, this dark and deep space rift expanded into a circular plane ten kilometers in diameter at high altitude.
Under the excited gaze of the priests of Zakarum, and under the gaze of countless frightened people, a demon with huge wings wrapped around its body slowly seeped out from the plane of the crack!
The huge reverse wings slowly opened, revealing Roy's ferocious face. The scarlet demon eyes were like lightning, and the edges of the semi-substantial body were flowing with mist like water, giving people a dream-like feeling. A feeling like that, with Roy's appearance, the surrounding air was trembling, emitting a whining-like howl.
It seems that the noise of his arrival is getting louder every time. After all, no world would welcome such a powerful alien species as him. But unfortunately, the will of this world is simply unable to resist...
Roy, he is here...
