The seventh level of the Phantom Realm of the Endless Abyss has never been without scenes of war and bloody massacres, even though this abyss is basically controlled by a powerful being.
The powerful Tanar'ri demons command countless weak demon races, and they engage in a fierce and crazy fight with another group of demon armies led by lizardmen with wild movements and simple costumes, just to win over the superior demons. The lord looked down at the sentient beings' attention.
The huge palace sitting on top of piles of bones was eerie and terrifying. The palace was surrounded by strict troops patrolling back and forth. It was difficult for even a flying insect to embed itself in the palace under their noses.
Inside the hall, there were oil-green flames swaying in the wind, and the invisible smell of blood permeated the hall. There were also mournful and wailing sounds surrounding the stone beams, making people shudder.
A powerful demon lord wearing blood-red scales, with a crocodile-like long lip extending more than ten centimeters, and a pair of amber ice-rimmed vertical pupils, sat in the most conspicuous position of the palace, surrounded by countless pale bodies. On a giant throne made of skeletons and skulls.
In front of him, a polished and rounded huge crystal ball with a diameter of two to three meters emitted a gleaming white brilliance that was completely different from the atmosphere of the palace. A handsome face appeared in the white light, talking to the owner of the palace with a smile. .
"...This time, thanks to the cooperation of your followers, we finally made those old hawks suffer a big loss, and made me feel bad for you!"
"It's a pity that you weren't there at the time, so you couldn't see the scene where those guys who have always been aloof and arrogant were furious when they gathered in the temple. That would be very interesting!!"
The owner of the human face in the crystal ball appeared and disappeared, and it turned out to be a centaur whose lower body was a horse. At this time, with a proud and happy expression on his face, he was describing a certain scene that happened not long ago to the demon lord outside the crystal ball. picture.
"Hmph!! You deserve it!!"
The demon lord spat out two sonorous and powerful voices: "But I am more concerned about whether the little guy you value can grow up smoothly!!"
"At least in my opinion, he is the one most likely to succeed in more than ten thousand years and climb to the same level as you and me."
Facing the demon lord's question, the strong man with the image of a centaur slowly stopped smiling and answered solemnly.
"He had better succeed, otherwise I will pull his soul up from the River Styx and make him endure my torment and pain for eternity!!"
The demon lord got the answer he wanted, but was still dissatisfied. He stretched out a palm with a ferocious and terrifying look on his face. His calloused and withered fingers sometimes clenched into fists and sometimes stretched open a piece of heaven and earth. It seemed that he had already said his words. The protagonist is in the palm of your hand.
"If you want to gain the long-term service and following of the creatures in Feynman's world, cruelty and conspiracy are not a shortcut. If you continue to use such means to achieve your goals, I'm afraid you will suffer from this in the future."
"After you took over the identity of the lord of Seth Inek, your behavior became more and more similar to him. You should pay attention to whether his followers are affecting your spirit and will!!"
The owner of the centaur image frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with the other party's brutal style, and couldn't help but say a few words of persuasion.
"I don't need to worry about it. Just do your own thing."
The stubborn demon lord couldn't hear the centaur's advice at all, and waved his hand to directly cut off the meeting and conversation with the centaur on the opposite side.
As the scene was interrupted, in a dazzling and gorgeous palace building, the centaur who had appeared in the crystal slowly regained his expression of concern and returned to his true inner calm and indifference. The dome above His head is made of a huge, smooth, transparent crystal with a huge skylight, and the golden sunlight passes through the crystal to form a beam of light, covering it.
Looking out through the crystal, groups of Pegasus with pairs of huge wings are flying freely in the sky, sometimes gathering into clouds and sometimes scattering like rain. The land is also a green grassland. The breeze blows through the dense grassland like a vast ocean rippling in the wind. There are also countless steel rivers composed of centaurs galloping in the wilderness, patrolling this fertile land majesticly.
The kingdom of heaven that the centaurs are attached to, its founder and controller is Qirong, the centaur god.
When I looked at the blue sky from a distance, I could see the dim stars at a certain point in the deep sky through the false sky, which was the real world that represented Feynman.
"Kid, I can only help you so far."
Allen's guess was correct. The reason why the lizard people Argan and Amansha tribes gave up all the benefits promised by the Natural Temple and stood firmly on the side of the North was because of their loyalty to the North. , and the benefits given by Allen's maintenance team, the most influential factor comes from the lizardman god Samuel Anya, the leader of the lizardman clan.
In the countless years of war with the abyss lord Seth Yinek who had stolen part of his power, Samuel Anya finally became the final winner, and by devouring the opponent's authority, divine power, etc., he captured Seth Yinek. The seventh abyssal plane that Ke has been operating for many years, uses the other party's reputation to control this vast territory.
In this secret incident, Qirong, as the helper invited by Samuel Anya to cooperate, contributed a lot to his success in replacing his opponent. Therefore, when Qirong came to seek help from Samuel Anya, the other party also I agreed without any hesitation.
It's just a matter of letting him send an oracle and asking the two weak tribal leaders in Feynman World to support a bugbear. For the abyss lord who now controls a huge abyssal plane and has many strong men under his command, this is really an easy thing. .
And according to Qirong's words, helping this child may be of great help to himself and other beings who are labeled as evil gods in the future. At least it can give them, the marginalized Feynman natives, one more person from the god camp. companion.
If there is no other way out, which non-abyssal race strongman on the road to becoming a god is willing to give up the bright and beautiful real world and throw himself into the dark abyss, with a group of crazy people who only know killing and pleasing the will of the abyss? In the company of ferocious beasts.
It is easy to step into the abyss, but it is difficult and dangerous to get rid of the entanglement of the will of the abyss. Even if the gods are tainted with the aura of the abyss, they need to pay a huge price to get rid of it.
Those demon princes and plane lords who look aloof and turn their hands into clouds and rain are actually just puppets shaped by the whims of the will of the abyss. When they are unable to please the abyss, they will suffer backlash from the will of the abyss. Their self-strength and authority will be forcibly deprived, and they will become the weakest existence in the abyss. The final result is self-evident.
Samuel Anya, Kurtumak, and Yeenoghu, who were natives of Feynman's world, originally had the opportunity, like other gods, to establish a divine kingdom that fit their imagination and that of their believers, just like other gods. The souls of believers can rest in peace and their divine power can be fulfilled.
However, their beautiful vision was eventually destroyed by those shameless guys who had ascended to the throne of God one step ahead of them and gathered in groups with unfounded charges. Their believers were regarded as evil spirits and heretics and were slaughtered to death. , the faith they are dedicated to promoting has been even more stigmatized and has become a source of evil that is despised by everyone.
If you have reached the status and strength you have today, how can you be willing to be bullied if you are not a person with extraordinary talent and character? However, the reality is so cruel. Even if their talents and abilities are unique to each other, they are helpless in the face of opponents with deep background and gang accomplices.
But they have never thought of giving up. Even if they are forced to commit themselves to the abyss now due to the situation, this is just a temporary measure for everyone. They still hope to establish their own Kingdom of God in the future and lead their believers. and the race on the path to light.
If you want to compete with several major gods, the style of going it alone has proven to be unfeasible over the past countless years. Therefore, everyone has gradually changed their attitudes and methods, and learned from the experiences of those major gods.
I don’t know since when, a group of evil gods who came from Feynman’s world and shared the same experience quietly got in touch, communicated with each other and helped each other, and established a relatively loose and secret alliance.
For example, when Samuel Anya set up a trap to deal with Seth Ynek and replaced him, in addition to the help of Qirong, several powerful men such as Kurtumak and Yeenoghu were in the abyss. He was also more or less involved in it.
As for Qirong being a natural temple
Why does the recognized righteous god deal with these evil gods? Naturally, it is because he knows that he is an outlier in the temple of nature. If it weren't for the fact that his descendants of the blood lineage have settled in the grassland of humans and horses as an independent entity, and they are the outposts of the wilderness against human invasion. Qirong will also encounter these evil gods.
This is also an important reason why He will take care of Alan after he shows some possibility of becoming a god at this time, and is even willing to ask Tusemmu Anya to issue an oracle to his bloodline believers and give him strong help.
Only if their team of local gods becomes stronger, Qirong will not become a victim of the war between the natural gods and the civilization of human gods.
After careful calculations and deductions, the senior officials and wise men of the Temple of Nature determined that the bargaining chips provided were enough to impress the two lizardman tribes, which were only moderately powerful among large tribes. I believe they would definitely fight against the bugbears for the benefit of their own tribes. turn against each other, and then confidently promote the planned plan.
However, they have ignored an important factor: the belief of the senior lizard people. For the lizard people, no matter how tempting the so-called interests are, which has an important impact on the family, heirs and tribes, it cannot be compared with the gods they follow devoutly. An oracle was sent down, telling them how to make decisions and act.
And this is the real reason why the two lizardmen finally chose to serve as double agents and give the Nature Temple gang a fatal blow.
