Chapter 189: Fireflies
Ling Qi gave Farion the seed of darkness, and Ben also had the idea of summoning Hittis. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Ling Qi wasn't sure if the other gods were like this one, who liked to spread beacons everywhere and took risks to travel the plane.
It's just that judging from the experience of the previous plane, Hittis is indeed extremely bold and reckless, daring to rely on a simple beacon to carry out plane projection and traversal.
Ling Qi didn't know that Hittis was not the only "god" who came from afar in the previous plane, and he didn't know how much of a bargain the great demon Baal had gained, but there would be some speculation after all.
He had long imagined that Hittis and Baal would fight each other, after all, Baal's goal was much bigger than himself in Hittis's eyes, but he didn't wait for a good show, and his mind gradually faded.
He really didn't expect that Hitis had learned to be obedient this time, and he was completely unwilling to test the waters himself, but only sent an apostle. Although it claims to be the first apostle, although this apostle is very special, although in some ways it is also a kind of doppelganger of God.
However, do not think that the doppelgangers of the gods are the same as the gods, and each of them is no different, and has almost invincible power.
Perhaps for mortals, it is indeed not much different, it is equivalent to being invincible, and the result of the confrontation is to be crushed to death by the snap of a finger.
But for those who have the aspiration and ability, such as some powerful demigods. The difference between a god and a doppelganger, between a strong doppelganger and a weak doppelganger, is like a bear and a bear's paw.
The glory of the gods is infinite, but the divinity is limited. A powerful doppelganger can be stronger than a demigod, but a weak one is just a legend.
What Baal is facing is the first apostle of Hittis, the blessed saint, a kind of sub-level doppelganger who has been assimilated and given a trace of divinity, and at the same time has the will of the apostle himself and the eyes of God, retaining the apostle's combat power or even going further, so the absolute power is also close to that of a demigod, cheap but quite valuable, and very cost-effective.
In the eyes of Baal, a demigod who was not too powerful, he immediately became a large bear's paw. If you bite into it, you may be able to eat it, or you may be able to make up for it. The arrogant demon lord doesn't want to wait for the next chance, he wants to become a real lord in advance!
Boom!
The huge demon lifted its big pillar-like feet and stepped on them with one foot, leveling the ground tens of meters square.
Ordinary people are eight feet, and their feet are close to one foot long, but what about humanoid demons who are three or four hundred meters long?
With the loud noise, the waves of earth were dozens of meters high, and the stones were sprayed out like bullets.
This is still the plane of the Middle Earth Continent, although it belongs to the lower plane, but the material structure is very solid, and the personal power is not obvious, otherwise its random blow may be comparable to the destructive effect of a small-yield nuclear bomb!
This characteristic of the plane also makes Farion, who claims to be the first divine envoy, can only dodge in embarrassment, unable to rely on his ant-like body to reverse the overall situation, and fight to the death head-on with relatively comparable strength. The difference in size between the two is too big, and the advantages and disadvantages brought by this will be infinitely magnified in Middle-earth.
Thanks to this trait, even with this weak body, there is still a slight possibility that he can defeat the demigod demons that come to him, such as the farmer to the weary knight, everything is possible!
The war between the demigods and the true gods is not too flashy and fancy, and it is nearing the end as the demon Baal spreads out into the realm with dark and fiery characteristics, at least Baal thinks so!
Faced with the giant feet of the demon falling like a pile driver again and again, facing the earth-shaking scene changes around him, and the pressure of the increasingly heavy force of the realm, the black mist on Farion's body also became thicker, his movements were faster, and there seemed to be something hidden on his body.
His momentum has become a death struggle in the eyes of outsiders. After all, the shock brought by Baal, including the sudden explosion of the black sky after the expansion of the realm, and the scene where the earth was covered with a sea of fire, were much more amazing, and onlookers thought that his defeat was only a matter of time!
Spectators? Of course, there will be bystanders in such a big scene!
About a dozen kilometers away from the Death Volcano, across the battlefield from the Molten Plains formed by the abandoned Long Lake, just outside the realm of the demons that had been carefully opened, the Embryonic Divine Kingdom, a handful of elves were holding an earth-colored human civilian, shaken by the exaggerated giant humanoid creatures and the earth-shattering aftermath of the battle!
This squad of elves is a scout for the Rothlorian Task Force, which goes behind enemy lines to conduct reconnaissance.
Their main means of transportation is not horses, but the elven clan's 10,000-year-old ally, the giant eagle, is waiting on a barren mountain dozens of kilometers away. The Giant Eagles did not dare to approach the Lonely Mountain into a dead volcano, as they were more sensitive to evil.
The mission of these elves is to find out the reality of the strength and social structure of the scorched earth in the north, which is now called the Demon Domain by the Holy White Council.
Middle-earth has a complete history of demonic calamity, and even some elves are alive from that era to the present.
If this extraterritorial demon lord were treated as Morgoth and the like, then Middle-earth already had a record of winning two battles.
Therefore, although these demons came suddenly, the mainland did not completely fall into rout and panic, the south is still very optimistic, the people from Amen Continent and some "people of insight" also want to retreat to the promised land across the sea, and some people even fantasize about defeating the enemy or seeking other ways to win!
The key to all this lies in the gathering of intelligence and the understanding of the overall structure of the other side.
Don't look at the orcs as brainless, even they have their own system and structure, similar to the tribal era of humans. And powerful creatures such as trolls, fire demons, and dragons also have racial habits, which are all a very important part of the war.
War is fought for the population, and the overall overall strength.
The story of slaying demons alone or ruling the world by one force has never been seen in Middle-earth, and it is as strong as Morgoth and Sauron, and it also requires a large number of minions. Knowing that this demon is stronger, Galadriel and even Saruman care more about the overall strength and number of demons than the power of a single big demon.
No matter how strong the demon is, can it still withstand the concentrated fire of tens of thousands of troops?
What is needed in war is the army, the system.
In this regard, in the eyes of some, the so-called king of the West is not at all worthy of the name, and he is not a good leader at all, and he is inferior to the likes of Solon.
Now there is one more unqualified lord or demon king, and that is Baal.
Along the way, the scout team did not encounter decent interception and resistance at all, and it was simply a long drive.
After falling from the sky, they did not encounter the layers of defense in their imagination, some were only a large area of dead silence and scorched earth, which made people's hearts unprovoked and sad, and only a few sporadic wandering demons proved that this place had been reduced to a demon domain.
The scouts were sad and indignant in their hearts, but they were also optimistic that this mission would be accomplished perfectly, and even the enemies who were strong and strong in the middle might not be expelled by the later large troops, they hated orcs, but they had to admit that those strong orc slaves did have a set, and they were better at fighting than humans.
This optimism, until he saw the real enemy of the plane, Baal, disappeared in an instant!
At this moment, everyone realized that what had not appeared in history did not mean that it did not exist!
The earth-colored human males looked at the elves who woke up from shock and kept exchanging glances, and his heart was full of bitterness!
Fu Wushuang is not a one-way street, but he is also a master of the reincarnation world, just add a team, but the captain has not yet made a pit, so he has pitted himself!
This man, who basically has no advantages other than hard-working and hard-working, is the last doppelganger of Alex!
What a beautiful scenery he was in the past, the dragon could swallow it, and the king of the West dared to calculate.
Now, except for a tattered body that was washed into the rotten grassland by the flood, he only has this last bit of protection left, and he just wants to wait for another identity to touch a fish or drown in the water, and then return immediately, but before he can make a decision, he falls into new trouble and is temporarily locked in the road to return!
The locking of the road back was something he had never expected. How could such an inconspicuous doppelganger trigger such an almost coercive task?!!
A remnant of Changhu Town, a refugee who can't read big characters, a hungry person who has been hidden in the cracks to beg for a living, this kind of identity, will he still get into trouble?
With the ability to "eat people" and basic strength, Alex is not afraid of the troubles that ordinary refugees will encounter. But I can't count that the elves will take the initiative, I can't count that the initiative will pull him into the "garbage" in the refugee cave, and I can't count that this matter will lead to mandatory branch tasks!
Alex suddenly thought of something that the other party had told him when he was exchanging information with another veteran before joining Ling Qi's team.
"When performing tasks on an extraterrestrial plane, the Juggernaut does not subjectively exert any so-called punishment or influence, nor does he make any objective definition of certain actions of you. ā
That is to say, even if you do heinous things, even if you are full of evil, as long as you hide it well, you can also mix with the good camp. Even if you kill all the plot characters in the entire plane, as long as you can withstand the trouble caused by killing these characters, the Juggernaut will not punish you inexplicably. If you don't complete the task, the regression will not be triggered. Theoretically, you can mix in this plane for ten or a hundred years, and you can be the king and hegemon, the demon and the demon, it's all up to you. ā
"Plane travel is quite free, the Juggernaut sends you there, watches, and that's it. ā
"Of course, the plane itself has a will, and to be able to become the character of the child of destiny of a certain plane, there must be a lot of relationship bonds, and luck will be very good, not so easy to kill. ā
"And the slaughter will also arouse everyone's disgust, unless everyone who you can kill is afraid. ā
"In addition, many of the tasks released by Juggernaut actually have time limits, and those tasks that do not have a time limit also have vague restrictions, such as 'Destiny Track', that is, 'Plot'. Overdue or failed missions will result in desperately punishing missions, so not everyone can do whatever they want. ā
"Of course, if you're strong enough to keep all the contingencies under control. For example, if your mission is to kill the target and then return, you can imprison him and make him live or die, and then do what you want, which may not be impossible. The reincarnation gem in your hand has a similar effect, which is really enviable. ā
"Don't be complacent, there's still a limit. ā
"Those who are imprisoned by you may suddenly erupt, or suddenly have an accident, making you hit the bamboo basket with water and the chicken and eggs. ā
"And your reincarnation gem, unless it returns immediately after successful use, you have to guard against another unexpected situation, that is, during the period between successful use and before returning, sudden mandatory tasks appear. ā
"This kind of quest will only happen if your quest performance is very bad, but it is not due to subjective behavior, which is equivalent to Juggernaut giving you a chance to mend your ways, which is much simpler than the normal punishment quest after a complete failure of the main quest, but it can also be very troublesome. ā
"The use of reincarnation gems has a buffer process that must be prepared in advance, which leads to the fact that you cannot always be ready to return before using it. ā
"You have to grasp the boundaries yourself. ā
"In addition, one more piece of advice, don't always think about escaping and opportunistic, because we, the reincarnators, will be as eye-catching as the glowing fireflies in the darkness in the extradimensional plane, and the more advanced the plane, the more so. ā
"This kind of attention is not something that ordinary people can feel, but the fate of the other world will make arrangements. ā
"Even if you don't do anything sometimes, unexpected events will force you to move forward little by little, like the protagonist in those stories, or the people around the protagonist. ā
"The task of domination is not the key to reincarnation, but the key to opening the door to return. ā
"That kind of 'attention' is our biggest difficulty and bargaining chip. It may not be luck, but we have to accept the 'other favor' of fate!"
Alex was silent, his head bowed.
