Chapter 90: The Temptation of Profit
Helen walked alone to the door of the Lord of Sodom with her staff in hand, which was heavily guarded, and the energy of the magical enchantment indicated that this was a forbidden place, and any entry of external forces would be detected.
When the guard saw a beautiful female mage approaching him, he asked, "What's the matter with you?" β
Helen returned the guard with a charming smile and said, "I have something to ask to see my teacher, His Highness Citex. β
The guard was a little dazed by Helen's seductive smile, and he couldn't help but look at the beautiful female mage a few more times, and then said, "Please wait a moment, and I'll go and report to you." β
After about a cup of tea, the guard returned to his post in high spirits and said to Helen, "You are fortunate that Her Highness Sixtes is free, and she invites you in." β
Helen gave the guard another smirking smile and strode into the palace.
Passing through the halls, Helen arrives at the palace's library, a sea of magical knowledge that Citex will never be able to do without these precious books.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Citex asked without looking back, "Has there been progress in the matter I asked you to investigate?" β
Helen came up behind Citex and said calmly, "It's not just that there has been progress, but that there has been a major discovery. β
"Oh? It's true? When Cetex heard this, she immediately became interested, and she turned around and asked, "Tell me about it." β
However, when she just turned around, she found Helen's strangeness, after all, she is a senior ** master, and she can still sense the evil force.
Cetes suddenly flashed a few meters away, a staff appeared in her hand, and she shouted and asked, "Who are you?" β
Helen replied with a sinister smile, "Don't be nervous, Citex, I'm just borrowing this body to meet you, otherwise I won't be able to pass through the magical enchantment around the palace." β
With a flick of his wrist, a fireball appeared in his palm, shooting straight into Helen's face.
Helen also reached out to block the fireball, turning it into invisible, and she continued to smile and said, "Don't be in a hurry to attack me first, I think if you listen to my terms, you won't be unwelcome of my coming." β
Cetes saw that Helen in front of her exuded infinite energy, but this energy seemed to be far away in the sky, but one thing she was sure of was that when the energy came to her, it would be unshakable and powerful.
Alertly, Citex turned his staff to Helen and asked, "What do you want to say?" β
Helen calmly said, "Let's make a deal." β
"What deal?"
Helen looked at Cetes's slightly trembling lips and said, "I know there is a super crystal in the Tower of Babel in Gomorrah City, and if you can help me get it, then I will give you everything you want." β
"It's impossible!" Citex flatly refused: "That super crystal is a gift from the gods, and it will never be given to anyone else!" β
Helen laughed and said, "Gomorrah has fallen, the Tower of Babel is about to fall, and your people are torn apart, who will go there every time to communicate with your gods through the crystal stone?" I think the crystal is a stone to you, and it's very important to me. Leave it to me and I can make you the greatest magician in the world! β
With a confident smile, Citex said, "I'm already there!" β
"But you can't reach the height of God yet!" Helen's words struck a faint pain in Citex's heart.
Helen paced up and down the library, pointing to the room full of books and said, "Behold, there are so many books on magic. I'm sure you've got it all. But the truth is that all of this comes from what God has given you, which means that you will, and God will. But there is a question of whether your gods have reservations and do not impart all the knowledge of magic to you. Am I right? β
Citex hesitated, staring at Helen as if pondering, biting her lip and saying nothing.
Helen continued unhurriedly: "Look at what has become of you now, the great gods of the past are now divided, isn't it all caused by God? β
CitΓ¨s replied, "We have committed a crime, and we must be punished." β
"You're right." Helen nodded and said, "But isn't this punishment a bit too heavy?" Your father was a tyrannical man, but he was not punished to the point of betraying his relatives or even being stabbed by his own son. Who is responsible for this? God has asked you to seduce your brother and betray your father! And let your brother usurp the throne, is this just punishment? β
"What else would it be?" Citex asked.
"It's fear!" Helen replied, "Your God fears that your strength is growing. Magic is a beast of infinite power, and whoever can master it has the right to rule the world. And you Sumers have mastered it, so you have the capital to contend with the gods. Therefore, the suppression of you is indispensable. β
"What are you talking nonsense!" Citex was so angry that his lips trembled.
Helen smiled at Cistes and asked, "Isn't it?" β
Then she added: "Look at his preference for Egner, an outsider, and give them the best land and resources. And he was not clear with the female leader, Elus. But what about you? What else is there besides endless punishment? Since the birth of your gods, you have been called the son of God, but what have you gained? β
"Didn't get anything!" Helen said categorically, "Your father Morley was driven out of Mount Olympia, and if I had not taken him in, he would have turned to dust by now. And now, with my help, Morley has become the most powerful being in the world, almost a rival to God. Don't you want to? Do you just want to kneel before God and let Him assign you to commit yourself to your brother? β
"Say no more!" Citex roared.
Helen sneered and said, "It seems that I am right. β
There was a dead silence in the library, and Helen stared at Citex across from her, observing the mage's facial expression. It looked like Citex was tormented inside.
After some time, Cetais looked up and asked, "What can you give me?" β
Helen nodded smugly and said, "The great power you want to have." β
"What kind of power is that?"
"The magic you have so far is nothing more than using the elements of nature to cast spells, and what I give you is magic that has never been more powerful than ever, and you can summon, enslave, sacrifice, and corrupt any creature you want to control, including angels flying all over the sky. Even one day you can stand before your god and fight him. Your father has already done it, and although there is no victory, it is only a matter of time. β
Seetes thought for a moment and asked, "You just want that crystal." β
Helen nodded and said, "Yes, I need that crystal." β
"Why don't you take it yourself?"
Helen said, "I don't belong to this planet, and if you touch that crystal, your gods will know about it." Therefore, it is most appropriate for you to do this. β
Citex put away her staff and walked out the door, and as she passed Helen, she said, "Follow me." β
The two female mages returned to Gomorrah from the east at night.
At this time, Gomorrah was already in decay, and there was no shadow of its own race on the wide streets, but there were countless dinosaurs roaming.
Helen walked beside Cethys and said, "Behold, what God has done to you. What was once such a great city has become like this. β
Citex looked at this bleak place, and her heart was also very sad, she glared at Helen fiercely, and did not speak.
When the two of them came to the bottom of the Tower of Babel, Ceitis looked at the towering tower, and was silent for a long time and said, "I can't go up this tower." β
Helen asked, "Why is that?" β
Citex turned his head and replied, "I can feel the energy field here, this tower is sealed!" β
