Chapter 106: Making a Pledge
"Magical powers? I see! Kyle then understood why.
As an ability that will definitely work.
It's normal that the power of the void can't be stopped.
Moreover, Kyle suddenly remembered a story he had heard as a child in his life.
It's a fairy tale of Tygulas.
In the era when the Platinum Empire had not yet been established and the five-colored dragon queen Tiamat had not yet been sealed, she led the dragons under her command to crisscross the entire Tyguras, and there were few forces that could stop it.
The powerful five-colored dragon queen heard: the territory of the giant tortoise demigod Thortord has the most beautiful scenery in all of Tygulas.
For Tiamat, who is known for his greed, now that he knows it, he has to get it.
To this end, she went to Toltord and asked him to change his territory elsewhere. Because he didn't want to offend Toltord to death, Tiamat, who was extremely confident in his own strength, allowed Toltord to gamble with him, and the method was up to him.
Toltord loved to sleep, so he chose to sleep better.
Tiamat slept with Toltord for a hundred years. It wasn't until Bahamut was about to clean up Tiamat's men that the five-colored dragon queen had to admit defeat and leave.
When he heard this story as a kid in his life, Kyle just thought it was funny.
But now, if the existence of this possessed poet is really Toltord, doesn't it mean ......
It's better than sleeping!!
It was clearly Toltord who made Tiamat sleep for a hundred years.
But the world does not know power... In other words, the characteristics of supernatural powers can only give an explanation acceptable to ordinary people when recording history.
Because it was so absurd, the story was passed on and passed on, and even turned into a fairy tale.
Kyle finally understood why ββββ was able to single-handedly take on three demigods and win a big victory, but when facing Toltord, he had to pull his ally Bahamut together.
Because he can't beat him alone!!
Toltord's power is so bad that even if his strength is much stronger than that of the giant tortoise, he can only be good to me and sleep obediently.
For this being is Toltord or not.
If Kyle had only believed three or four points earlier, he had now believed eight points.
However, thinking of Toltord's words, Kelton's heart chuckled, and he immediately made a puzzled look on his face:
"Power! Avatar! What is this? I've never heard these two words before, how could it possibly feel familiar to them! β
Although Kyle is surprised that Toltord has powers, that is, supernatural powers.
But he was more palpitating at the word 'supernatural power' that came out of the other party's mouth.
Faced with Kyle's denial, Toltodd shook his head helplessly. Wren had told Toltord that he had left something on his heir (Wuji) that he could mark for Toltord.
And the title of supernatural power was also told to Toltord by Wren, and as Wren's successor, it is impossible for Kyle not to know.
"Don't deny it, I won't harm you, as Wren's successor............ Wait a minute!! β
Thortod abruptly interrupted his words, then looked around and said warily, "Kyle, is the highly intelligent construct that protects you absolutely obedient to you?" Will it leak your secrets? β
Hearing this, Kyle was also shocked.
Only then did he realize that Dick's real master was Princess Alessandra of Platinum, and Kyle only had the command of the fourth in line, which was given by Reut in the third line.
In addition, Dick will regularly send messages to Alexandra to report over the air.
The most important thing is that ββββ it knows too much!
In particular, the existence of Toltord's spirit cannot be known to others.
Otherwise, if Alexandra had informed Bahamut of the situation and had the Platinum King capture Toltodd, some of Kyle's secrets...... For example, if you have supernatural powers, it is no longer a secret.
"Alas!"
Kyle sighed and said helplessly, "Dick, transform into the second mode so that I can see you with the naked eye." β
"Yes! Lord Kyle. β
After the sound of gears turning, Dick's diminutive figure appeared beside Kyle.
Kyle glanced at the feather dart in his hand.
[Name: Raven Feather of Shadow Thunder.]
Quality: Epic
Specifications: black, 10 cm long, 0.8 cm wide
Materials: Dark Phoenix feathers, Thundercloud Crystal compression
Performance: Thunder Infusion (infuses the target with electricity after hitting, causing super-level electrical damage with paralysis), automatic pursuit (no need to throw, can attack the designated target on its own), stealth flight, silent flight
Special Status: None]
After Dick appeared, the dart, which originally belonged to the crow and is now owned by Kyle, could naturally sense Dick's position, and when Kyle gave the order, it flew towards Dick without a sound.
After the hit, Dick's whole body flashed again with a jumping arc and froze on the spot.
Kyle and Toltord look at each other.
It's all in plain sight.
Both of them have secrets that cannot be known to outsiders, and Dick may leak them, so naturally they will be dealt with.
"Need help?" Thortord asked, "I can help you clean up the information it has recorded during this time, and if possible, I will do my best to modify its command authority so that it is completely yours." β
"That would be great, but before that, we need to address the trust between the two of us first."
"That's right!"
Toltord pointed at the crow and said, "I've been showing kindness to you since we met, and it's you who doesn't believe in me, Kyle. β
"......, that's true."
Kyle agrees with Toltord.
Then he made his own suggestion: "We should make a pledge to keep each other's secrets in order to gain mutual trust." β
"Oath? Well, you can! β
Toltord pondered for a moment, then agreed.
The so-called oath is actually to make a treaty first, and then swear to the star soul one by one. There is actually an oath between Kyle and Wang Kai (see chapter 14), but there is only one agreement, and it only regulates Kyle's behavior.
With the deed... Or rather, compared to a just contract in which Star Soul acts as a third-party notary and adjudicator.
Oaths have special characteristics.
First, compared with the text of the contract, the language of the oath is not as clear as the former, and there are many loopholes.
Star Soul, a behemoth consciousness with weak self-awareness and low frequency of consciousness activities, has a very different ability and perspective from normal intelligent life, and it is difficult to determine whether someone has broken his oath.
The second point is that compared with the contract, the binding force of the oath is closely related to the strength of the oath.
The stronger the oath-taker, the higher the attention of the Star Soul, and the more credible his oath will naturally be. If it were an ordinary mortal who swore an oath............ There are countless things that Star Soul has done to treat its oath as air.
The fair contract is more stable.
It's a pity that making the contract scroll is actually consuming the attention of the Star Soul True God to believers, which will reduce the strength of the clergy itself, and the output is limited.
There is also an upper limit to the binding power of the contract, and between the top-level beings above the Extreme Realm, there is no point in signing a fair contract.
- Swearing is more effective.
After discussion, Kyle and Toltord settled on two basic points.
First of all, neither of them can divulge each other's secrets, and they must try their best to protect each other's secrets. Secondly, the two should not actively harm each other.
For the second point, Kyle even specifically asked Toltord not to actively 'hypnotize' him, even if it was a well-intentioned hypnosis.
To compensate, Kyle must also keep Toltord's hostel, Poet, by his side, as Toltord's eyes and ears.
"Good, swear!"
Kyle said with a serious expression, "Eternal Mother Earth, the Star Soul of the Great Tygulas, the ...... of All Souls"
"Stop!!"
Just as Kyle calls out to Gaia, Thortord abruptly stops him.
"What's wrong? Do you want to repent? Kyle looked unkind.
Thortod shook his head: "Of course not, I just don't want to swear to Gaia, I hope you can change the star soul to testify." β
"I see!"
Kyle understands this, and Gaia's punishment is limited to Tyguras, with minimal impact on other planets. "Which do you want to be replaced, the great Terra (the star soul of the star Taiyang)? Or Hades, the Hades of the underworld? β
Both of these have powers throughout the galaxy, and there are many swearers.
But Toltord's answer was something he couldn't have thought of.
"I hope you can swear to the Star Soul ββββ Abyss Will of the Abyss, Kyle, I hope you will understand."
ββ¦β¦β
Quiescence!
Deathly silence!
Kyle looked at Toltord strangely, "Swear to the abyss...... Have you decided to mess around in the abyss in the future? β
"Just like the two demigods of the fallen giant horse demigod and the queen of the swarm, reincarnated the spirit into the abyss and directly became the abyss lord?"
There are a total of nine planets in the Taeyang system.
According to the distance with Taiyang, they are:
1. Fire Elemental Planet;
2. Wasteland - Tynoir;
3. Tygulas, where Kyle is located;
4. Water Elemental Planet;
5. Demon Realm - Tessivane / Broken Star - Abyss;
6. Earth Elemental Planet;
7. Air Elemental Planet;
8. The Underworld.
Among them, the Demon Realm-Tessivane and the Abyss are companions, tied for fifth.
Both do not have satellites and orbit each other.
And the abyss is more special.
In the entire Taiyang system, its star soul, the Abyss Will, is the most active and active of all the star souls.
For some reason, the Abyssal Will loves to devour.
Whether it is energy or matter, the will of the abyss does not refuse, and the demon realm adjacent to the abyss-Tessivane is even more deeply affected, and the star soul of the entire planet is on the verge of death, and the planet is destined to be swallowed by the abyss.
Of course, the soul is the thing that is most beloved by the will of the abyss.
Weak souls will be torn apart and become food for the will of the abyss and many demons.
Powerful souls are more favored, and the Abyssal Will encourages demons to transform powerful souls into demons.
An existence like a demigod spirit.
If they are willing to join the abyss and become demons, the will of the abyss will will often be transformed by themselves, creating the most suitable demon body for them, regaining the power of a demigod and becoming the new Abyss Lord.
"Of course not!"
Thortord denied that he wished to become the Lord of the Abyss: "I finally saw the hope of breaking free from a prison cell, but I would not enter a new, stronger cell and recognize a greedy, evil new boss (Abyss Will)." β
"It's just that, for some reason, in the star soul of the entire Taiyang system, I can only trust the will of the abyss."
"βonly it's on the same front as me."
