Ulysses Polk Satan Rickel - that's the name he had at birth, and it's the responsibility he had to carry at birth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the eldest son of Satan's Ricker family, the future king of the Abyss Seed, Ulysses must find a way to protect everything around him, so as to prove his ability to defend the dignity of the family.
Of course, ask who he cares about the most, undoubtedly his family; Respected father, kind mother, and naΓ―ve sister.
However, all the good memories have been buried in the past, and the painful and chaotic present is the reality he has.
His father died of wartime injuries, his fragile mother was also very good at managing affairs, and the younger sister, who had remained pure and innocent, also changed her temperament after her father's death.
Thinking back to before he was ten years old, Ulysses still remembers his father's attitude towards his sister when he was a child, that is, he ignored his sister all the time.
"Brother Ulysses! Why did my father always treat me coldly? Why did my father never look at me squarely? Why am I more unexpected than my brother? Obviously...... So hard! β
Naya's desperate shouts are still fresh in Ulysses' memory......
The young sister is like a trapped beast in a cage, with no place to use even its ferocious fangs, allowing it to decay with time and gradually lose its sharpness.
However, Ulysses knew very well that it was not his father's partiality, because his sister Naya was too powerful and had too great a talent for magic, so she was kept in her room.
Although Ulysses also thought that his father's approach was too extreme, it was the best way to deal with his father, who was always working hard at that time.
But even Ulysses went to play with his sister every day, but he couldn't change the anger that gradually rose in his sister's heart, and ...... Resentment.
To tell the truth, Ulysses was very envious of his sister's life, who could stay in the room without worrying and do whatever she wanted, without worrying about being preached and stopped; After all, even if she was locked in her room, she would occasionally have the right to go out and play.
But Ulysses is completely different, as the future king of the abyss species, he must master enough knowledge, technology, and means, otherwise he will be left behind in the competition.
The glory of the family is something that must be guarded absolutely, although this idea is a stale idea that should have been buried in the ashes in the past, but glory is still something that cannot be discarded.
While everyone is fighting for profit, Ulysses is the only one who thinks about how to protect the future of the Abyss Seed and stabilize the daily life he has now.
With the end of the Great War and the arrival of a large number of alien races, the shelter of the abyssal species on Earth is getting smaller and smaller.
Commercial transactions, resource exchanges, and so on have become increasingly difficult, and even if there are always enough trees to provide enough food, they will not be able to satisfy the growing ambitions of the other people.
The former abyssal species fought and won the battle with the large demon **, confronted and defeated the powerful alien race, and had enough merits to show off in the world; However, the shape is completely different from what they imagined.
Ulysses has always adhered to his father's teachings, and will not impose his wishes on others in any way, but other people do not think so, and some even try to attack the city of the tree people.
In the abyss of growing chaos, Naya's abilities became known to everyone, and she must have been regarded as a 'new hope' by the coup faction.
It's the younger sister that his father has been protecting, but now she's being used as a prop by a bunch of damn guys, which is an act that Ulysses will never forgive.
Ulysses had heard from his father that if Naya's abilities were used continuously, it would cause a great burden on her body, and the final result would be like a burned candle, losing her last light and life.
Now Ulysses has the power to help him, and he has a group of people who can take down Naya's special magic as companions, but this requires fighting against his own people and killing each other with the warriors, and Ulysses does not want to do that......
Ulysses was confused, he didn't know how to deal with his people, and now he was afraid that he was considered the 'King of Cowards who had rebelled against the Abyssal Species'.
What's next? How can we solve the problem at hand? Could it be that you just start fighting with it?
Ulysses knew that there would be sacrifices in the event of a fight, and that was the last thing he wanted to see.
Whether he is called weak or regarded as a coward, Ulysses just hates the situation where everyone fights each other.
"The Abyssal Race is neither a noble race nor an inferior race, but exists like other races, and it is better to support each other than to fight."
Ulysses remembered what his mother had said, even if many people understood the truth, but very few people actually did it, and very few people did it.
It can't be helped, after all, everyone wants to use others as pedals to make themselves the top guys, and for this reason, they would rather give everything they have to break the balance that they have maintained.
Just like the law of the jungle in nature, even a group of modern people will sprout many barbaric ways of thinking.
Maybe everyone wants to prove that they are special beings, and they are not willing to spend their lives as ordinary as everyone else.
"We are not weakling! Won't surrender to anyone else! And we don't force others to submit to us! Now it is completely different from the past era, and the so-called power is only a condition for peace! β
This was my father's speech, and now the podium is still in its original state, but the original speaker has long since said goodbye to the world.
At that time, Ulysses took his father's presence and guidance for granted, but when his father died, he realized how fragile his daily life was.
Children will always envy the wonderful adventure stories in the picture books, and will mischievously pick up brooms and sheets to play the legendary heroes, in fact, those beautiful heroes are always accompanied by sacrifices.
Perhaps the heroes who are extremely strong have a fragile daily life that can be easily crushed by the enemy.
Ulysses didn't want to be like that, he just wanted to reclaim the daily life he had in the past; At the same time, he also knows that it is precisely because it is daily that it returns to its original state.
It's like a boatman who finds his boat sunk by a wave and has no money to buy a new one, and he has to find a way to get it back if he gives up something.
Ulysses looked at the group of people in front of him, they were all very powerful guys, but what would happen when he really dealt with a large number of abyssal warriors who were good at magic?
This is not a small fight in the past, but a rather serious fact.
He knew that his sister would never listen to his advice as before, and the girl who had been ignored in the past chose to break out, even if she became a prop for others, to prove herself - good enough.
"I'll try!"
Even though the road ahead was unknown, Ulysses still spoke to the people around him, these strangers.
Show determination, show determination, and save her trapped mother and confused sister, and that's what Ulysses's responsibility is!

"That's true, but little devil, I don't put my companions in danger for your housework; The Abyssal Species is very powerful and a very tricky existence, so if the magic of the Abyssal Species Warrior threatens our safety, I will kill them without any doubt. β
The Abyssal Species that were captured before were recycled and imprisoned by Yahui asking the Tree Race, after all, killing and letting them go is a very stupid choice, and the only way to compromise is to imprison them.
The warriors of the Abyss Species are indeed very powerful, their individual combat ability is comparable to that of soldiers who have undergone intensive surgery, and the assistance of magic further enhances their combat effectiveness, but they encounter the most undesirable opponents.
Magic, technology, no matter which one is a 'prop' to make people stronger, what is really needed is talent and experience.
In Yahui's team, Otilia, Ariel, Vina, and Saviara are all experienced warriors, and Salom is the race with the strongest magical talent, and Yahui and Vera are good as supports.
That's true, but Yahui himself still wants to avoid war as much as possible, because if there is a conflict, it will cause some losses anyway.
As for now, Yahui is walking in a forest with everyone.
First of all, it is impossible to take a flying ship here, and secondly, if you continue to take the train, you may be ambushed by the Abyss Species again, so they change their route and forward track, intending to detour to the Abyss Seed Special Zone.
The air in the woods is cold in the middle of the night, but fortunately, the branches and leaves are not dense, so you can see the road ahead with the help of moonlight.
Not only that, Vina and Vera are also humanoid self-propelled light sources, but they forgo turning on the searchlights in order to avoid attracting the attention of possible enemies.
Shalom, who had eaten and slept well, had the most comfortable days, and was carried forward by Vina, who was relaxed and constantly observed the situation around her, and at the same time told Vera to prepare for battle.
"Master, master, master."
"Just say it once, do you have a problem? If you want to go to the toilet, you can go to the bushes on the side. β
"Not really! The hosts are such perverts! Although I usually go to the bathroom to solve problems, in fact, our metabolism is just vaporizing and liquefiing impurities, and we can deal with them anywhere. β
"So what are you for? Could it be that there is something new? β
Vera nodded, she looked around and whispered
"The breath isn't obvious, but there are creatures eyeing us."
"Creatures? Are the birds and animals that inhabit the forest? Be careful, everyone, and if you find any of those creatures attacking us, just kill them. β
"Master's words sound very cold-blooded."
"I don't want to waste any more time here, it's not far from where the attack was just now, and it would be terrible if those guys found out."
Minimize the hassle and save your energy to prepare for the real battle afterwards.
"Otilia, there must be a powerful mage in the Abyss Seed, if you encounter such a tricky enemy, I will cover your retreat with Yahui, is it okay?"
"Okay, it's Ariel's long-range attack that is most effective against an existence like a magician; But if the enemies are a bunch of people who want to fight with weapons and cold weapons, then I won't retreat. β
Otilia knew what Ahui was up to, and like Ariel, she wanted to find out what had happened to Ahui.
Yahui's 'blessed' physique is very concerning, and most people don't know what his 'blessing' is really for, since the abyssal species is likely to be the birthplace of this large-scale attack on Earth, then these people may know about other uses of Yahui's 'blessing'.
"The 'blessing' on your body doesn't really mean much, maybe it's just a prank by those guys."
"Even if it's a prank, you have to figure it out, what if such a 'blessing' can be lifted in the Abyss Seed Special Zone?"
"Oh? Although I don't fully remember the history of the dragon race, it is certainly much older than the abyssal race, and even then I don't have the means to get rid of your 'blessing'. β
"Miss Salom hasn't investigated thoroughly, has she? I can't get in touch with the elders of your dragon race, but I have the opportunity to meet with the elders of the abyss race, and those people will probably know a thing or two. β
"You're really optimistic about that...... Forget it, if you're happy, I don't want to get completely involved in your troubles; The only thing I care about is the specialty dishes of the Abyssal Plant. β
For Salom, it's all about having fun, eating and drinking, and it seems that she's a complete hedonist and a very special dragon race.
At this time, Vina, who was walking in front, stopped, she first stopped Saviara and Ulysses beside her, and raised her right hand to point in the same direction.
"An unidentified object was detected approaching at three o'clock on the right, ten meters underground."
The ground shook, from faint to obvious, the trees shook, and the birds and animals that had been living everywhere fled.
Obviously, after passing through this forest and crossing a hill, you can go straight to reach the Abyss Seed Special Zone, but you still run into trouble.
"It's a ground beast!!"
Ulysses shouted
"It's a ground beast that can devour trains!! Yu once saw them when he went out, and they should have rarely moved!! β
Before Yuri could finish speaking, a worm-type monster with greenish-black skin and hair emerged from the ground.
The moonlight is obscured by it, and the mucus and sawtooth are quite striking!!
