Chapter 189: Mission: Resist the Shadow Army
After signing the True God Oath with Hela, Eve once again took on the form of Zero the Divine Servant and left the temple.
Of course, she hadn't forgotten to add advanced concealment to herself.
And it wasn't until she couldn't feel Hela's breath at all that Eve breathed a sigh of relief.
This was the first time she had actually dealt with other true gods face-to-face since she was reborn as the World Tree.
Though...... Hela relied solely on the body of a fanatic believer to temporarily perform a divine possession.
Hela seemed to have known about Eve's arrival, no matter what the true god of the underworld thought about it, but at least Eve could sense that the other party still had some kindness.
And the oath signed by the two can be regarded as satisfactory to both parties......
After that, Eve can be regarded as being able to pull the banner of Hela's god openly without any worries.
Although it is only able to pull the tiger skin, it can actually bring her a great boost.
And the dark dwarves of the underworld can be regarded as an ally.
While Eve certainly can't count on them to participate in her future faith war with Urral, she can trade with them in the underworld, or fight against the forces of the gods of darkness and shadows.
According to Hela, Holdel, the god of darkness and shadow, is an even older being.
He also laid out in the underworld earlier, so his power in the underworld was also stronger.
Not to mention that Holdale is also involved with many evil god forces hiding in the underground world.
Holdel is also a potential enemy of Eve.
For Eve, this is also an opportunity to use the power of the god of death Hela to stir up trouble in the underworld.
Killing evil gods, devouring the power of the other party, or absorbing the life force of the enemy through war is also part of Eve's plan.
Even the next war of faith with Urel is essentially for this.
Expanding power is virtual, the most fundamental thing is to enhance one's own strength, and devouring life force and divine power is the fastest way.
In this respect, Eve and Hela are both win-wins, with the former devouring life and the latter expanding faith.
As for assisting Hela to perfect her priesthood, now she can only focus on the blood crystals of the gods.
After destroying the Cave Tribe, the southern part of Elven Forest has become almost Eve's backyard.
And as the players explore, from time to time, there are lucky people who pick up the blood crystals in the forest, and in addition to the ones absorbed by Eve, there are still a lot left......
Eve plans to selectively eliminate the power of the two laws of nature and elves in the blood crystal, and finally put down the rebellion of the dark dwarves before handing them over to the Temple of Death.
Hela descended only on a consciousness, and it was up to the believers to really fight the enemy.
And if she didn't want the believers to suffer too many casualties, Hela had no choice but to let Eve take action.
As for why Hela didn't lower the demigod-level Heroic Spirit Guardian...... It's really a question of profit and loss.
After all...... It's just a rebellion in a city, and it hasn't reached the point where it needs to descend the power of a real demigod, and the amount of divine power consumed by sending down a demigod across borders may be far greater than the gain.
Urrel originally wanted to take the opportunity to take the life and nature priesthood, so he sent the demigod Walker with blood, but Hela didn't have to.
So...... The end result is that the players are going to make another move.
"An army of shadow creatures...... It is said that the monster was born in the dark place where the abyss and the underworld meet, but unexpectedly, it was collected by Holdel, the god of darkness and shadows. ”
Eve mused as she walked.
"However, the overall strength of the Dark Dwarves is not strong, and they are all of the Black Iron Rank, and it is estimated that there should be more shadow creatures that can be summoned at this level! This level is within the player's ability to fight! ”
The abyss is the collective name of a group of chaotic planes at the bottom of the Seggs universe, where the laws are chaotic and is the home of demons and evil gods.
But even so, the underworld is connected to the abyss, and the beginning is the dark place, where a creature between chaos and order was born, that is, the shadow monster.
However, if you want to summon this kind of monster across borders, you must do the preliminary work and portray a complete summoning circle.
The Temple of Death still has a strong control over Black Rock City, and although Hela's consciousness of coming is not good, it is more than enough to identify traitors, so it is not a problem for the Death Believers to clear the dark believers in the city.
The problem is outside the city.
The power of faith accumulated in the Temple of Death has been depleted with Hela's arrival, so theoretically, Black Rock City's ability to resist external attacks has been greatly reduced.
The Dark Believers will certainly not put their eggs in one basket, and will inevitably summon shadow creatures outside the city to attack the city, and the army of shadow creatures besieging the city is the object that players need to fight.
The fluctuation of divine power when the two met just now must not be able to hide it, Hela will definitely do it immediately, and it is estimated that Black Rock City will fall into chaos soon, so he will also speed up.
Thinking of this, Eve dispersed the advanced concealment technique, and quickened her pace, walking towards the place agreed with Xiao Xianmeow and the others in advance.
……
Deep Rift, Black Rock City, Dwarven Bar.
Xiao Xianmeow and the others sat bored in front of the bar, drinking ale as light as water, chatting and waiting.
This is where Zero made an appointment with them when he finally left......
And when a few people were chatting about all kinds of gossip on the Blue Star, making the dark believers who were spying on them confused, the door of the bar was pushed open.
Zero the Divine Favored walked in.
Seeing the elf girl in a black skirt, several players' eyes lit up and hurriedly came over:
"Master Zero, how are the negotiations going?"
"Miss Zero, how's it going?"
Their eyes were filled with anticipation.
You know, it's a plot in progress!
Zero first looked around the bar, then walked over to a table and chair and sat down.
And several players also hurriedly followed and sat next to her......
I saw that the Divine Favor Zero groaned for a moment, and then snapped his fingers.
In the surprised sight of Xiao Xianmeow, a soundproof buff appeared on their personal status bar.
They knew that it was an NPC using soundproofing magic.
"Now that the negotiations have been completed and the Reaper Temple has accepted our friendship, they will soon launch a manhunt for the dark cultists hiding in the city."
Zero said lightly.
"That'...... What do we need to do? ”
Stir-fried tomatoes with tomatoes asked expectantly.
Zero glanced at him, nodded and said:
"Of course, the Church of the Reaper has also applied to us for rescue, informing the other Chosen One that they are ready to prepare for war, and there is a big war to be fought."
Big...... War!
The eyes of the three players lit up.
It is worthy of the hidden main quest, and there is a big battle to fight when you come up!
They still remember the previous war with the orcs, and that big battle made the first test players all a wave of fat!
"Miss Zero, what exactly do you want to fight?"
Demacia asked excitedly.
"The Temple of the Grim Reaper has received word that the Dark Cultists will summon an army of shadow creatures outside the city to attack the city, and your mission is to resist and defeat them!"
The Divine Favor said with a serious expression.
And as soon as her voice fell, a new system message suddenly appeared in the field of vision of the three players-
【Ding——】
[Hidden Main Story: Faith of the Dark Dwarves Completed]
[You gain 3,000 XP and 300 Contribution]
Before a few people could rejoice, suddenly, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and a group of heavily armed dwarven guards suddenly rushed in.
This sudden change took several players by surprise.
They subconsciously tried to touch their weapons, but found that their equipment seemed to be still at the gates of Black Rock City......
However, the dwarven guards did not pay attention to them, but said solemnly in the eyes of a group of people who were surprised, frightened, or dazed:
"On the orders of the Shrine Master, hunt down the Dark Cultists!"
As she finished speaking, Eve could clearly see that the faces of several dark dwarves had changed slightly.
As if they had already confirmed it, the dwarven guards did not hesitate, and went straight to a few dwarves who were about to sneak away, tying them up one after another......
The tavern was thrown into chaos.
Looking at this scene, the eyes of several players were surprised and curious.
Similar things began to play out all over Black Rock City.
After all, the true god is the true god, and Hela's divine possession is not strong, but the ability to distinguish friend and foe is still there.
There was no need for the player to intervene at all, and the dark cultists hiding in Black Rock City were captured by the Dark Dwarf guards one by one......
At this time, the entire earth shook slightly, and a faint spatial fluctuation spread from afar.
"Started ......"
The Divine Favor said lightly, raising a glass of ale and drinking it down.
After speaking, another new system message appeared in the player's field of vision......
This time it's a server-wide notification-
【Ding——】
