Chapter 6: Lord of the Underworld!
"Your Highness the Princess!"
"Your Highness the Princess!"
Along the way, people kept kneeling down on one knee and saluting Sophia, and the girl nodded expressionlessly, after returning to the underworld, she was far less lively and cute than in the world of Temorrah, as if she had put on a mask. The closer the group got to the City of the Dead, the more they could feel its immense grandeur, with several Angels of Death following her along the way, and the Styx ferryman silently following behind. Sophia's status in the underworld is extremely high, because the Lord of Death, Sauron, has only two children, both of whom were born when he was active in the mortal world as a sage, and after returning to the kingdom of God, the Lord of Death never had any more children.
The two sons were demigods, one was the king of Arendelle and the other was Sophia.
"Your Highness the Princess. ”
"You're back. At this time, a rather emaciated figure fell from the sky, looking far less handsome than the other angels of death, and he said softly, "Master has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
The Grim Reaper attendants all around them knelt down on one knee.
"Your Excellency Ugly Monkey. Sophia also leaned over slightly, and continued, "I see." ”
Angel of Death - Ugly Monkey.
The Angel of Death under the command of the Grim Reaper in the third sequence, was a powerful legendary professional during his lifetime, active in the Sage Cataclysm period, with many legendary achievements, and was transformed into the form of the Holy Spirit by the Grim Reaper after dying in battle, ranking the third seat of the Angel of Death, leading the Death Legion of the Shura Field Plane.
The entire City of the Dead is home to tens of millions of people, all of whom are the people of Sauron, the Lord of Death.
As for those souls outside, it will be up to the judges of the underworld to decide where to go, and those who believe in piety will enter the realm of the gods, and every day messengers from other kingdoms of the gods will come here to extradite the souls of the believers. As for the others, who are either reincarnated in the upper plane or reincarnated in the lower plane, those whose faith is too shallow can only end up drifting in the river Styx to the depths of the Styx. It has been a long time since Sauron, the Lord of Death, has taken charge of the Underworld, and many of the gods are dissatisfied with this, but they are afraid of the strength of the Lord of Death.
This Excellency is in the Sage Tribulation, but he has killed the true god who does not kill, even if he rarely shows up after ruling the underworld, it is Yu Weiyou.
in the sky.
A dazzling light flashed by, and the trail of an angel of holy light could be faintly seen.
"What's going on?" asked Sophia, turning her head.
The high-ranking Angel of Death named Ugly Monkey said, "There is a war in the southern kingdoms, and I heard that some of the Radiant Lord's patrons have died in battle. Maybe I'm here to draw souls. ”
Lord of Death - Sauron rules everything in the underworld with an iron fist.
He is different from any god of death in the past, and his methods can even be said to be extremely tough and domineering, since he entered the underworld, this master of death has directly forced the other gods to re-sign the god agreement as his name, and directly cut off ninety percent of the power of the resurrection technique that could have been easily cast, and now only the gods themselves can take back the souls of those dead from the hands of the god of death and resurrect them.
In the past, there were many ways to resurrect a person if they had just died.
Sophia knew her father's purpose in this regard, because he once said that it was because those troublemakers and careerists in the main material plane could not die, and even if they died, there were various ways to resurrect, and then it would lead to the entire material plane being in turmoil and never stopping. Since Sophia was sensible, she knew that her father was different from everyone else, logically speaking, he was a god of death, and naturally the more people who died, the better it would be for him, but her father had always done the opposite, and had long been committed to reducing the war in the main material plane.
In short, even the gods could not figure out the mind of the god of death.
But.
Zolon, the Lord of Death, has a very broad and active belief in the main physical plane, and his temples are not as eerie as those of the past Grim Reaper, but are basically built of white marble, unusually clean and tidy, and the layout is magnificent and symmetrical, which once made people think that this Grim Reaper has a habit of cleanliness and a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder.
It's the same with the City of the Dead.
The streets here are wide and neat enough for more than a dozen carriages to pass at the same time, because the flowers and trees in the mortal world cannot be planted, most of them are planted with bright red flowers, and there are many fountains built in the city, if it were not for the eerie atmosphere of the underworld itself, this place should be said to be an unusually beautiful city.
The inhabitants of this place are prayer seekers.
Most of them are followers of the Grim Reaper, who are reborn here and regain a lifespan of about three hundred years, when these lifespans are exhausted, they return to the underworld and merge with the realm of death. There are records of the City of the Dead on the murals of the mortal world, and the vast majority of believers in the Grim Reaper are not afraid of death, and can even be said to embrace death as a kind of grace.
But!
What has always puzzled Sophia is why her father's church cherishes life as one of its most important creeds.
Followers of the Grim Reaper must not give up their lives lightly.
Even if they see death as a grace, they must wait for the signs of death to come before they can embrace it.
Some hazy phantoms float within the City of the Dead.
They are geist angels, a kind of low-level lower angels, responsible for channeling the souls of believers, and there are many such angels in the City of the Dead, after all, the Lord of Death, Sauron, is in charge of more than just one or two planes of the law of death.
"Your Highness the Princess. ”
"Your Highness the Princess. ”
Along the way, there were people saluting Sophia, among them were messengers of other gods, in the past, many souls did not pass through the underworld, because at that time the death god system had not yet risen, but now no matter whose soul is even a demigod dead, he has to go through the underworld.
Sauron, Lord of Death, is notorious for his fierceness, and even his enemies fear him from the bottom of their hearts.
All the way forward.
Soon.
A huge palace appeared in front of her, with teams of angels of death guarding the palace walls, thousands of heroic armies waiting for her, and on the throne of the palace, Sophia met her father.
"Going on another expedition?" asked Sophia in a low voice.
The ugly monkey nodded, "The demons of the Shura Field have launched a rebellion, and it seems that they have secretly supported from other gods. Recently, the situation in Modo City has also been unstable, and the owner is investigating who is behind it. ”
Death Juggernaut - Sauron is a deity like no other.
Naturally.
He also has many enemies, especially some of his reforms to the world, which have provoked the secret counterattack of the old gods. As for the future direction of the main material plane, the Lord of Death-Sauron believes that scientific and technological progress is very important, and supports the re-establishment of a civilization system similar to the Arcane Empire, but it must be controlled to avoid the recurrence of the catastrophe, and the view of the old gods is to suppress the technological development of the main material plane, limit it to the level of medieval civilization, and then continue to cycle back and forth to facilitate them to harvest souls, that is, to limit civilization to a certain extent to prevent them from going down the wrong path and have the ability to destroy everything in themselves.
This clash of ideas has pitted the new gods against the old gods for centuries.
