Chapter 16: Death—Jecob
How did you suddenly come to the underworld?
At this moment, Sauron was also a little puzzled in his heart, because he still remembered what happened at the last moment. At that time, he had suppressed the power of the Dreaded Demon God, a dead god could not make too many waves after all, and the defeat of the Dreaded Demon God at the last moment was already doomed, so he simply launched a direct attack on Sauron, trying to use Sauron's relationship with the fear divinity to occupy his spirit.
How can this be successful!?
Sauron's will was as strong as steel, and he directly incarnated into the form of a god on the spot, and smashed the spirit of the Dreaded Demon God.
As an ancient and powerful demonic god, the Dreadgod preserved the essence of his soul on the Dread Throne within the Dread Kingdom after his death. In other words, as long as the Throne of Dread is not destroyed, then his spirit and soul can be constantly repaired, even if the divine will is suppressed and killed by Sauron, it only makes him weak, and cannot really kill the Dreaddemon God.
To put it simply, the Dreadgod is now like a lich, and now the Throne of Dread is his lifebox.
"Something is wrong."
After defeating the spirit entity of the Dreadgod and launching his first attack, Sauron positioned the teleportation guide in Modor City before the space shattered, preparing to return directly to his direct physical body.
Under normal circumstances, the gods use the godhead ability of [Dimensional Teleportation] to teleport, and it is almost impossible for accidents to occur.
Therefore, it is very likely that Sauron's appearance in the underworld is due to 'artificial'.
And the person who can interfere with his dimensional teleportation and locate him in the underworld must be much more powerful than Sauron, and there are not many such beings even in the entire multiverse.
As for those who have something to do with the underworld, it seems that there is only one one!
- "Jecob, the Ancient Reaper! ”
Sauron had just met this when he heard a calm and indifferent voice. Said slowly: "The new god of shadows, those who are outside of fate, welcome to the underworld. ”
"I was just wondering when you'd think of me!"
Death - Jecob.
Although Sauron had not yet seen the other party, the voice that sounded directly had already proved the identity of the other party, and the last words of Jerk also proved himself. Because some unusually powerful gods are inductive. For their god names, not to mention saying them with their mouths, just ringing in their heads will produce a trace of divine induction. Sauron had just thought of Jecob, the god of death, and had a divine inspiration for convenience, and this divine power was simply a bit beyond the scope of Sauron's understanding of gods.
The fog ahead gradually lifted.
A pair of Grim Reaper's attendants in gray-black ruined cloaks appeared in front of Sauron, and in front of them was a Styx Boat, flanked by necromancers with books and pens, all of whom were natives of the underworld.
Death rarely receives souls in person.
For the gods in charge of the priesthood of the Grim Reaper, their duty is to maintain the laws of death in the multiverse and the functioning of the soul, and mortals sometimes overhear the Grim Reaper who is really responsible for receiving the soul. In fact, they are all acolytes selected by them from among believers. It's like Sauron's 'Otherworldly Divine Envoy' who is preparing to help him manage the kingdom of God, and the Death Acolyte is another form of Otherworldly Divine Envoy. These beings who resemble the Merger are not trapped in the underworld, they are endowed with a little death divinity, and they shuttle between planes.
"Lord of Shadows. Please come with me. ”
A hoarse voice sounded, and the necromancer, whose face had withered, made an inviting gesture to Sauron, and said slowly, "My lord Jerk wants to see you. ”
This necromancer doesn't know how long it has been around, and his soul is full of decay.
Jecob, the ancient god of death, loved to record death, and many of his followers began to record deaths since the time of the Thurium. The necromancer in front of him is afraid that his professional level is above level 35. While his name may not have been chanted within the multiverse, Sauron knew that the necromancer in front of him was not much weaker than some of the famous lichs left over from the Nether era.
It's time.
As the oldest Grim Reaper in the entire multiverse at the moment. I am afraid there are many more such servants under Jerk.
"Hmm."
Sauron didn't have the slightest fear of emotion, but was a little curious, and followed the other party directly to the position of the Styx Boat.
Jerk was not a god to be afraid of.
Because in a way, he was the least disliked god who cared about the gods, and even the god of murder who had gone mad in confusion at the beginning, Jecob only had a slight mockery. There was no idea of interfering at all. Long before the rise of the Three Gods of Death, Jecob was tired of his priesthood, and he gave away almost all of his core priesthoods, except for a part related to the death record, and most of Jecob's tasks in the following years were to help the King of the Dead become familiar with the priesthood.
This is how Jerk has lived since he gave up the priesthood.
He did so in a way that was close to seclusion. First he assisted the King of Bones, Mirkor, and then the King of the Dead, Kranvo, who came out to help them maintain the law of death, and Jecob hardly interfered in any of the gods' struggles.
Today's Jerk is a weak god.
There is almost no faith in the mortal world, only a part of it is recorded in the oldest writings, and there is an inscription in the eastern country that records such a small passage.
"When Jego, the ancient god of death, was almost forgotten by the world because he was tired of his duties, he relinquished most of his priesthood to Bane, the god of tyranny, Baal, the god of killing, and Mirkor, the king of bones."
After the demise of these gods, he continued to serve the rising god of murder, Shirek, and the king of the dead, Kranvo. He is loyal only to the position of King of the Dead, so if the incumbent is unable to properly perform the duties of the Grim Reaper, he will secretly subvert him. Jecob barely cooperates with his former Reaper, Mirko, and works well with the current Reaper, Kranvo, and still has a contemptuous and mocking attitude towards Ciric. ”
There is an abandoned ruin in the eastern country, and this short passage is recorded in it.
………………
Death - Why did Jerk see himself?
The first thing that came to Sauron's mind was 'someone outside of fate', and Golia also said that he was someone outside of fate. According to the divination of the Northland witches, people outside of fate are full of infinite variables, the most representative of which are Shirek and Cranvo, who inherited the priesthood of death, respectively.
Jerk was strong, but Sauron was not afraid.
The source of his power came from Jecob, the god of death, who had almost ceased to interfere with mortals and gods.
