67 Palm Monster
Three questions in one breath is really aggressive. The Lord of War couldn't help but think of a scene that only existed in a long memory.
The prestige remains, and the awe remains.
However, the above thinking is more like a kind of habitual thinking. In fact, the Lord of War is not afraid, or rather, he has nothing to fear now.
Although the current king of war is no longer the legion marshal who commands the battlefield, hasn't the former king of hell also become a historical term?
As the mage herself said, she is now just a human mage. Humanity - in the memory of the Lord of War, it was one of the most physically weak races. Even though this magician had the soul of a great devil, her body could only allow her to exert extremely limited power.
And most importantly, she Catherine is not the same Bosseto Ifer. This is an essential difference in soul.
The devils are very sensitive to the breath of the soul. The Lord of War admits that Catherine's soul is powerful, but this soul is full of impurities and is not a pure devil's soul.
The old devil often says, "Fusion is the original sin." The best way for the devils to strengthen their souls is to devour them. Because devouring is just a simple transfer of soul energy, it will not leave any unpredictable sequelae.
However, if you want to devour the souls of other devils who are stronger than yourself, such opportunities are too rare to come by. A devil may not succeed once in his life.
Therefore, there are many impatient devils who will choose a relatively easy and quick-acting method - fusion.
The greatest benefit of soul fusion is that there is no distinction between races and strong or weak. The new soul after the fusion of the two must have become more powerful than the original soul from the perspective of soul energy.
But there are pros and cons, and integration means risk. The fusion of different souls will cause a storm of soul energy if they are not careful, tearing apart and destroying the souls of both sides.
Another disadvantage is that the new soul after the fusion does not belong to either of the original parties. It will be a whole new individual, with memories of both, and a new personality of the self. Although a strong soul can retain more of its original characteristics, it still does not change the fact that this is a new soul.
If the soul energy storm is the destruction of two objective beings in material form, the successful fusion is the ideological erasure of two thinking individuals.
Of course, the above two points are not the biggest problem, and the impurities of the soul are the source of the trouble.
Each intelligent individual has its own characteristics of the soul. These traits do not disappear after fusion, but are mixed with each other and hidden in the depths of the soul. As a result, the new soul is left with unpredictable hidden dangers. No one knows when these hidden dangers will surface, and no one knows what kind of negative effects these hidden dangers will bring to the surface.
To use a not-so-apt analogy, pouring oil into water can cause a fire on the surface of the water with just a little spark. This is called a hidden danger.
The Lord of War maintains a natural reverence for the kings of hell in the past. The Black Flame is a powerful ability that is the signature of Boserto Ifil. In the underworld, there is no Great Devil, or Demon Lord, or even a powerful being of any other race, who can control the Black Flame better than this Hell King.
This is the fundamental guarantee of Bossetoiffel's strong dominance.
So when Catherine unleashed the aura of the demonic flame just now, the Lord of War almost thought that Bossetoil had appeared in front of him. Unfortunately, her frail human body couldn't support the burning of the Black Flame. Being able to bloom so brilliantly once is already the limit of her body.
And Catherine's actions also allowed the Lord of War to capture her soul breath. For unknown reasons, the mighty Bossetoiffel opted for soul fusion and gave up his otherwise powerful body. But for the Lord of War, none of this matters, the newborn soul is no longer pure anyway. An impure Great Devil Soul, no matter how powerful it is, can not really make the Lord of War feel afraid.
Of course, due respect is still to be maintained. After all, the human mage in front of him is the inheritor of Bosetto Ifer.
"Lord Catherine. The Lord of War stopped and bowed slightly. He and Catherine stood on the two steps in front of him and one in the back, and the King of War, who was only the size of a palm, looked unusually tall.
"Don't you know the generals of those legions? Without absolute strength to suppress the formation, how can I, the marshal, command them?"
"That Creek Quill who dared to challenge Bosseto Ifel would admit that he couldn't suppress that waste?"
"War is not fought alone, if they dare to fight me alone, who am I afraid of?" said the King of War with a wry smile, "but there is no harmony between the Great Devils. If it weren't for the overwhelming dominance of Boserto Ifer, let alone the declaration of war on Goros Dimon, the legion would not have been established. ”
"Do you seem to be complaining about the irresponsibility of the Supreme Lord of Hell?"
The Lord of War did not answer, as if acquiescing.
"Huh, what's going on?" Catherine suddenly stretched out her right index finger, easily condensing a fist-sized fireball on her fingertips, "The fire element here seems to be particularly lively. ”
"Quick, destroy it!" the Warlord screamed, and Catherine's actions seemed to scare him. The palm-shaped monster jumped vertically from the ground and pounced on the fireball, sending it to the ground.
By the light of the fire, Catherine saw this deep passageway, and for a moment it seemed to come to life. Palms of different sizes appeared on the walls of the passage, struggling and shaking to break free from the dirt walls. However, when the fire faded away, they disappeared back into the earth wall.
"Master Catherine, don't do anything like that again. The Lord of War lay down on the steps and said, "There is no light here, so let's hurry up." ”
The two of them are back on the road, and the speed of the Lord of War is noticeably faster.
"What the hell is this place? It can't be the Palm Country, is it?" asked Catherine, half-jokingly, "What's the matter with those palms that pop up? It was the gardener before, then you, and now it's them. Could it be that a new race has appeared in the underworld, the Palm Monsters?"
Who knew that the Lord of War thought about it and really replied: "Palm monster, hehe, good name." You can call it as you like. The little bug didn't seem to know the gardener's true identity. Don't they have inherited memories?"
"When I saw the gardener's appearance, I thought it was strange. It's even more strange to see you like this again. Since you know the details, you might as well let me know. ”
"As you can see, I'm also a palm monster now, so I can't tell you anything about the palm monster's secrets. However...... "The Lord of War sold a pass," and after I take you to meet him, maybe you will have an answer. ”
"Isn't it the one you want to show me up there?" Catherine pointed forward, "Well, those are all gardeners? Four gardeners, interesting. ”
