Chapter 82: The Abyssal Power System, the Human Power System
A plane in the world of the Endless Abyss, where the battles and battles of everyday life continue. Location, in front of a newly built defensive castle by magic.
The bone spear that burned the terrifying orange demon flame poured down from the top of the demon castle, and in this rain of fire, there were two powerful demon armies fighting each other, one attacking and one defending, and the city walls were tug-of-war.
The Barlow Flame Demon, the Six-Armed Snake Demon, and the Soul Judgment Demon, these powerful demons with outstanding names in the main material plane, are not insignificant in the current battlefield of such intensity, but at least they are not enough to become the force that determines the direction of victory or defeat.
Standing at the head of the city, Zhu Peng took the lead, and he tore through the forward line of the siege demons like an incomparably sharp knife.
Holding a giant hammer and wielding it like a storm, at this moment, he is completely the strong posture of the Abyss Great Demon, and the Jiuli Soldier Master Chi Yufa Body is able to stretch his most extreme strength in the world of the endless abyss.
The thick and burning Earth Demon Flame Armor, occasionally exposed in the cracks of the armor, like thin strips of steel-like muscles like the condensation of the most brutal laws of war, made people feel invincible and indestructible, without even an inch of superfluity.
At this moment, Zhu Peng was not using the Qingzhu Fengyun Sword, which had a very strong demon killing effect, but directly inlaid the head of the transcendent fifth-order demon obtained from the Demon Phoenix Ancestor Changqin with a sturdy refining steel rod, so a fourth-order epic-level super heavy iron hammer directly appeared.
The fifth-order transcendent materials resulted in the fourth-order epic equipment, which could be said to be a major stain on Zhu Peng's career in terms of his refining level.
But in fact, this is the normal phenomenon, the level of craftsmanship to finally create a divine weapon with a hundred refining of mortal iron is too high, and occasionally high-level materials are forged into second-order items, this is the mainstream situation in the Heavenly World.
Moreover, fourth-order epic-level weapons are also rare in the abyss world, wielded by the strong, and almost invincible to block.
(Like the cultivation civilization, almost every high-level cultivator has one or more powerful magic weapons equal to their own rank...... Or, like wizarding civilizations, almost every elite wizard has a wizard tower to make up for their shortcomings, which is too much luxury...... Of course, this is also the reason why both civilizations have the potential to dominate the heavens. )
"Boom...... Bang...... Boom!"
Every time the hammer inlaid with the head of the demon lord falls, in addition to the target, the aftermath of the spread will inevitably kill a large number of middle and low-level demons, and every time a demon is killed, the epic hammer in Zhu Peng's hand is greedily absorbing the scattered vitality and soul, and the head of the demon lord who is rudely inlaid on the steel rod may open his eyes at any time in this extreme killing: Destruction Hammer - Epic Divine Soldier - Jiuli's Fury!
The ability to fight and kill in a miraculous way, which has been engraved in Zhu Peng's bones, blood and soul, is intuitively manifested in the fact that it is obviously a rough and heavy weapon like a heavy war hammer, and he can actually swing it on the battlefield for a long time to the point of not making progress.
Although the identification ability of most demons cannot intuitively identify the attributes and effects of that epic hammer, you can know it by looking at the combat effect...... Both the absolute attack power and the range of the spread strike are ridiculously high.
Around the swing of the hammer, the surrounding air appeared like a substantial water ripple, and many little demons were slightly affected by this "water pattern", and they directly turned into flying corpse meat sauce.
"Sambas, are you sure you want him to taste your axe? I'm afraid that after you launch a challenge, I'm afraid that after you launch a challenge, you will be smashed into meat sauce without even handing it over. "On the fierce battlefield, the succubus Kani still has the leisure to tease the corpse demon Zambas around her, and the succubus's ability is very suitable in this chaotic and frenzied battlefield.
From time to time, mid- and low-level demons were bewitched by her powerful seductive abilities, screaming and waving their weapons to attack their original companions around them, but the attacks on both sides would not let them go, and the result was often a swift killing and dismemberment.
"Sambas...... Well, Sambas obeys the strong, and Sambas will not be stupid enough to throw an axe at the general!" "The corpse demon Sambas is like a small mountain, wielding a butcher's knife to kill, fierce and terrifying, but when it says this, it is obviously quieter, as if it is a little worried that it will be detected by the terrible demon in the center of the city.
The fact that the corpse demon Sambas, the succubus Kani, and the dark mage Egad were able to survive in the abyss ecology to evolve into a third-order legendary lifeform, or to be able to enter the abyss as a human without dying, which is already proof of their status as an elite.
However, the more elite they are, the more they can understand the terrible things that this general Nino-Constantine has done since he arrived here.
Time goes back half a month ago, and at that time, what a mess they inherited. At that time, with the exception of the somewhat sluggish Sambas, the succubus Kani and the dark mage Egad were actually ready to run away.
The higher the life level, the higher the information authority they have, Carney and Egad are limited by their own height, and at the same time, they also have needs, so they accepted the recruitment of Francis, the Iron Hand Lord, but also because of their own height, as soon as they arrived on the battlefield, Carney and Egard found that the battle situation on Francis's side had been eroded, and the situation was even difficult to see Unless a miracle happened, there was no hope of winning at all.
However, the facts that happened later proved that Mount Tai in the eyes of ordinary people was nothing more than a larger gravel in the eyes of giants.
The new demon general, Nino Constantine, began to reorganize Francis's demon army at the first time, because there was almost no middle management, so it was very troublesome and very important to re-distinguish the chaotic troops into abyssal gnoll troops, abyssal demon troops, abyssal goblin troops, and abyssal orc troops.
But for Zhu Peng, who has a strong divine sense ability and enough patience, all this was completed quickly, and the control of his troops is a prerequisite for improving combat effectiveness, ordinary legendary abyss demons may not have such knowledge, but in Zhu Peng's long life, he has been in charge of military power I don't know how many times, and has accumulated extremely rich military experience.
In the military history of China, the vast majority of generals actually have their own limits of domination, and only a small number of talented military wizards like Han Xin can do the eight words "Han Xin points troops, the more the merrier...... Zhu Peng can also do it, not because he is also talented in military talent, but because he has lived long enough and has a high degree of brain domain and thinking development, so even if military domination is not his major, in fact, he has cultivated to a very high level.
While strengthening the control of his demon legions, Zhu Peng also judged from the overall battle situation that as the weakest side in the three-way melee, someone would soon take action to clear the already Fang from the game...... In the war of the Abyss Demon Lords, the middle and lower ranks are not the decisive force that determines the victory or defeat of each other, but it is a force after all.
The life of the Abyss Demon Lords is unlimited, as long as they don't go down in person, they have countless betting opportunities, so if the cards in their hands are exhausted, the vast majority of Abyss Demon Lords will retreat, and will not rush forward shirtless.
Judging the situation of the party, Zhu Peng, as a demon general, began to build an earthen kiln, looking for the abyss merchant, and using magic as the aid to build a defensive castle that the party trampled on at this time.
Due to the high level of control over the Demon Legion, a number of measures can be implemented:
Select the demon wrestler, each kiln demon craftsman is responsible for the city bricks baked, by the wrestler with an iron cone to hit the brick, if the cone into a finger, kill the craftsman, the wrestler can enjoy the food, and at the same time go back to the female demon camp to live for ten days;
At the same time, Zhu Peng also contacted the Abyss Merchants and directly sold those demons with insufficient combat power and replaced them with demon mercenaries with more outstanding combat effectiveness. With the implementation of such a set of measures, a power structure and military command system gradually took shape, and although the number of demon legions of Ironhand Lord Francis was declining drastically, its actual combat effectiveness was constantly improving because of the improvement of elite and management.
Finally, when the blood-stained shroud, the demon legion of the Emperor of the Dead and the Death God attacked and tried to clean up one of the opponents in the game, it "banged" like a steel plate.
"I grant you, eternal destruction!"
With the convergence of the nine hammer shadows, it finally smashed heavily on the heavy shield of a siege demon on the opposite side, this great demon with a fourth-order demigod rank was suddenly struck by lightning, its appearance and body were still intact, but in its huge body, streams of blood like pitch-black oil reversed and rushed, turning into power, and everywhere it went, all its internal organs were shattered and cracked.
In the midst of this pause, several more attack spells bombarded its body, and this unleashed an internal explosion, and with a bang, dozens of nearby demons were blown to pieces by this indiscriminate destructive force.
And with the death of the besieging demon general, the collapse of the enemy demon army is also in sight.
........................
The enemy collapsed, and the party went out of the city to chase and suppress, and after following for a while, after making sure that the other party had no strength to counterattack, Zhu Peng returned to the newly established castle with his sledgehammer, and there was a kobold abyss wanderer beside him, hoping to get more benefits from him.
The commercial trade model of the Endless Abyss is very interesting, low-level lifeforms have done their best to survive just to survive, so most of them are bartered, furs, jerky, these are all precious currency, no matter what kind of fur or what kind of jerky.
When it comes to mid- and high-level demons, in most cases, as long as they are still alive, then it is not a problem to be full, and their currency becomes the crystal nucleus, gems, and even human souls of demons.
The gurgling river Styx spreads throughout the lower plane world, and the soul is protected by the power of the law in the River Styx, even if it is an extraordinary or even more powerful existence, it is difficult to obtain souls from the River Styx, but not all souls are willing to die.
If the soul struggles to crawl away from the River Styx on its own, then the River Styx itself will not restrain this behavior, and the soul is contaminated with matter, and most of them become abyssal worms, white and fat, thin and thick, and are the favorite delicacy of most abyssal creatures.
It is relatively easy to obtain, and the other party has little ability to resist. In the meso-plane material world, the river water represents the source of food and nutrients, and the same is true in the lower plane of the endless abyssal world.
A small number of extremely powerful souls can directly evolve into inferior demons, and a very small number of them can directly evolve into pure-blooded abyss demons, this part can really be said to be favored by the abyss, but even if they want to live from the zero order to the third order mature body, it is not easy.
The unwilling souls flowing in the River Styx are the main source of currency in the Endless Abyss World, but any suitable tributary of the River Styx is basically controlled by the powerful Abyss Demon Lord, so the legendary Great Demon and the middle and low-level demons will be so excited when they unexpectedly arrive in the middle plane material realm, which is the same reason that the humans in the material world unexpectedly came to the gold mine.
In the material realm of the middle plane, mortal souls who have committed sins often gain some power in the endless abyss world, but there is nothing to envy, when they come to the lower plane, they are here to suffer, after evolving to the fifth-order transcendent demon lord, they may not suffer much, but how much suffering do they have to endure in the process?
What's more, even the life of a fifth-order transcendent demon lord may not be better and more comfortable than that of an otaku under the fourth-order technological civilization system.
"It's yours, bring me 50,000 demonic mercenaries and 20,000 iron armor. In his hand, a crystal nucleus diffused with powerful magic power landed in front of the abyssal wanderer.
This kobold man really lay on the ground like a dog, carefully picking up the crystal nucleus, greedily feeling the powerful magic power coming from inside, this is what Zhu Peng obtained by killing the demigod demon just now, this was still a very important treasure back then, and now it is not a treasure of the transcendent fifth order and above, Zhu Peng doesn't care much anymore.
Compared to these, Zhu Peng now only cares about how to return to the Immortal Dao Civilization World quickly, in the Abyss World, with the battle and killing, his own skills are almost uncontrollable and rising day by day, there is no way, the main path of the Jiuli Soldiers is really too perfect fit with the will of the Abyss. If it weren't for his own desperate suppression, he would really be able to immediately attract dark energy infusion and be promoted to a fifth-order transcendent demon lord.
This rare victory finally boosted the morale of the Francis Demon Legion, and also established the authority of Nino Constantine, incarnated by Zhu Peng, as a demon general.
Downward organizational construction and the formation of a power network, the demons of the chaotic camp are indeed more difficult to manage than the humans who are biased towards the side of order, but they are not unmanageable.
Who said that the devil is crazy? Who said that the devil is not afraid of death, and who is not afraid of punishment that touches on the interests?
Unless they are influenced by external forces, demons will also fear death and hate their enemies, after all, no matter what, they are only living beings after all, and even gods can't get rid of the fear of death, let alone them.
It's just that the abyss is barren and the demons are poor, and when there is no benefit to lose, then even death is no longer unacceptable...... After all, the devil is not afraid of death, so why should he be afraid of death.
Nino Constantine used his authority as a demon general to establish a relatively stable interest system, as long as he was willing to listen to the general, even the abyssal goblins could get some meat to eat, and such a military centralization was established.
When Zhu Peng equipped the most brave and ferocious demon with iron armor on the castle, when Zhu Peng ordered the most opportunistic, creacherous and slippery corpse demon Sambas to be the commander of the infantry and awarded it a legendary heavy armor.
The bloodthirsty and belligerent military spirit is forged, even if the succubus Kani and the dark mage Egard, who can vaguely understand this, why don't they want the person who stands in front of the general to be crowned is himself?
After all, the corpse demon Sambas was originally the stupidest and relatively weakest of the three of them, and now he is wearing a legendary demon armor, and the strength of the three has reversed.
On the other hand, Captain Francis of the Iron Hand was satisfied that his subordinates had just arrived at the front line and brought him a great victory, especially the killing of a fourth-order demigod demon in front of the battle, which was enough for it to be painful in the blood-stained shroud, and it was not easy for the Abyss Demon Lord to cultivate a demigod subordinate. To a large extent, it depends on luck.
So Francis the Iron Hand Maharaja sent a batch of soul gems and crystal nuclei to the front line as a reward, and its shot was quite generous, but Francis couldn't see his general, and when he saw this batch of goods, the corners of his mouth sneered.
Abyssal Demon Lords are limited in their field of vision, and even if they are high enough, it is difficult for them to understand that in addition to the top-down Abyssal power system, there is also a bottom-up human power system. As long as this bottom-up human power system is completed, even if Zhu Peng is not promoted to the Abyss Demon Lord, he can still swallow Francis's power, and then use it as a bargaining chip to find a strong enough Abyss Prophet.
The abyss power system is top-down, because strong is strong, weak is weak, and if the abyss demon lord is displeased, he can kill all the subordinates, so this is a very clear relationship between life and death.
The power system in the world is from the bottom up, all the emperors of all dynasties are ordinary people, their essence is not different from ordinary people, which of course leads to the emperors of many dynasties being killed by eunuchs, abolished at will, and once the palace door is closed, they are emperors.
But this also leads to the fact that the human power system is far more refined than the abyss power system, and there is no way, there is a problem with the innate stability, and it will naturally appear to constantly self-correct and improve.
Zhu Peng now attributes his authority and power to his own abyssal power system with a refined and artistic human power system, gradually making up for the lack of being an abyss demon lord, but Francis doesn't even know that his ruling foundation has been shaken, and he also sends money and materials to the front line one by one.
Of course, from any point of view, this is not that Francis is unwise, if Zhu Peng has been staying in the Endless Abyss World, he may not be able to be more clever than it.
........................
The Abyss, the temple of the half-dragon demon god Andyac.
"Xiuya, I remember the last time you reported to me, it would take another half a month to completely defeat Francis's stupid demon army and wipe out an opponent...... The current situation does not seem to be the same as you said, as far as I know, the army of ironclad demons built by Francis is getting stronger and stronger. "Andyac, a beautiful woman dressed in full costume, sat in the light, a woman of great maturity and beauty, with snowy skin, blue eyes, golden-black hair, and red lips like fire.
Around Andyac, there were young girls who served her affectionately, all of them wearing light gauze clothes, and they surrounded Andyak and looked down at the female knight Shuya in light armor at the bottom of the stairs in a kind of looking down and teasingly.
Dragons are inherently, while His Majesty Antiac's tastes are more bizarre, and His Majesty Antiac's preference is for females with delicate and snow-white skin more than ugly and rude males.
Therefore, in the sect of the Half-Dragon Demon God, the status of females is generally higher than that of males, which is also the reason why Eluli and Shuya can easily mix into the upper echelons of the sect.
Of course, this kind of taste hobby, at the same time, will bring more disadvantages than the same year, if you want to be promoted to the upper echelons of the sect, you can't climb into the soft and comfortable bed of His Majesty Antiac, like Eluli, a blonde sow who has no discipline at all, of course, doesn't care about these things, and even because of the evil in her nature, she is quite loved by Antiac.
But Xiuya's personality is more awkward, as a succubus with strong desires, quite pure abyss demons...... This woman's advanced class is the Holy Knight.
And it's the kind of Holy Knight who can be compatible with the darkness, her aura power, her holy light can strengthen the demons and heal them from damage.
In the abyss, you can cultivate the wonder of holy light, and this kind of person is essentially paranoid. Hundreds of years have passed, Xiuya is still a virgin succubus who has not lost Yuan Yin, at the beginning of the half-dragon demon god Andyak still likes her very much, after all, she is used to the type of giving to herself, and occasionally one or two iceberg beauties to reconcile her appetite can be regarded as a unique taste.
But this iceberg, Andyak "click, click" bite for N years, but it just failed to overcome it.
As a demon god, Antiac's charm value is blessed and full by divine power, which can be described as a killing for both men and women, combing his hair and changing into men's clothes is a peerless son, and showing up and smiling can make countless ignorant women sit on the ground and ovulate.
However, Andyak held the piano and sang under Xiuya's attic for ten years, but the affectionate style failed to penetrate his heart...... So it turned from love to hate.
In fact, Xiuya does not despise the love of lilies, but she herself does not accept the love of lilies, but in a sect like the half-dragon demon god Andyac, if you don't accept it, you are already a heretic, okay, if it weren't for the fact that Aluli has flattered her in every way for hundreds of years, she has tried her best to please Andyak and protect Xiuya, plus Xiuya herself also has excellent military talents, and she has contributed a lot to the development of Andyac's forces.
A succubus knight dressed in holy light has long been forced by Andyac, or sold as a precious commodity I don't know where to sell.
Now, the knight with outstanding military talent has finally made a big mistake, and he has also suffered a lot in the attack against the Francis Demon Legion...... Before he can adapt to the inertia, the opponent's legion's combat power will be turned upside down, and of course it will suffer.
Andyak and the warblers and Yanyan around her who were not accustomed to being elegant immediately added to their crimes and wanted to put each other to death.
However, looking at the brown-haired succubus knight below, her clean and abnormal face, Antiak was still a little reluctant: "Xiuya, for the sake of me who once truly loved you, I will give you another chance...... Be my favorite concubine, and I forgive you for this defeat. ”
"Your Majesty!?"
"Your Majesty?"
There were bursts of exclamations around Andyak, the half-dragon demon god Andyak has established the Dragon God Sect for thousands of years, but the position of the queen of gods has always been vacant, and the position of the favorite concubine is also very precious, there are only five of them, and the favorite concubine is also extremely fond of them.
There are more than 3,000 beauties in Andyac's harem, but there are only five favorite concubines, which shows its preciousness.
"Thank you for Your Majesty's favorite...... However, I beg your pardon for not accepting it. As she spoke, the knight Ji, who was more stubborn than a donkey, disarmed herself and armoured, and she knew very well what kind of punishment she would face. Eluli couldn't help it at this time, and pounced on it to beg for mercy for Xiuya.
However, she had already begged for Xiuya too many times, and this time she was directly waved away by the enraged Andyac.
As a god, how arrogant Andyak is, in fact, this arrogance is also one of the reasons why the Xiuzhen civilization system and the wizard civilization system despise the belief civilization system: between a group of fanatical believers who sing praises to themselves all day long, no matter how strict and self-controlled the original body of the god is, over time, a certain kind of self-respecting mentality will gradually solidify.
In fact, maintaining a humble heart is one of the prerequisites for continuous progress, even if the ninth-order lifeform stands at the peak of the middle and lower planes, but for the upper planes, this is probably just the beginning of life evolution, so what is there to be arrogant and conceited?
You can have the arrogance to face difficulties, but if all this arrogance becomes the arrogance of a god, I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete a clear and rational judgment.
Just like at this moment, the half-dragon demon god Andyak was not unaware that Xiuya was fighting for himself with all his might on the front line, but from the perspective of the transcendent demon god...... It's just a game, even if that castlevania is gone, even if the front-line corps is wiped out, you won't really break your bones, so the value of your hard work is not as negative as you make me unhappy.
Standing up, holding a leather whip covered with barbs and metallic color, there were already two female guards chaining Xiuya's limbs, and the thorny iron whip hit the smooth back hard: ten times the pain, weak will, physical extraction, how could it be a simple whipping played by a generation of gods.
Thinking of the hard work she had poured into this slut over the years, the more Andyak thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more she beat him, Xiuya still insisted at first, but gradually her consciousness blurred.
When she woke up again in the infinite darkness, Shuya saw that Eluli's face was full of tears, and she was now wrapped in a rough cloth robe, and she didn't need to show her body in shame anymore.
"I've said it many times, let you leave me alone, and if you continue like this, you will lose Your Majesty's favor. Reaching out and lightly touching the whip marks on Elully's cheek, it was clear that if it weren't for her, she would have been beaten to death.
“...... Are we the best sisters, not to mention that I am also responsible for the defeat of the front-line battle, how can I let you be punished alone?" got up and carried Xiuya on her back, and it was not until this moment that Xiuya's face changed, as a Legendary Rank Fallen Priest, it would seem so difficult to carry herself, which showed that her injuries were far more severe than she imagined.
"Have you contradicted Your Majesty?"
"Alas, what do you think about Xiuya compared to me? You are a succubus, you were born to ...... Bad woman, maybe you don't like to hear it, but it's fate, who are you guarding for, and why?"
"Just because we're demons...... We have an endless lifespan and unlimited opportunities as long as we don't die. So for people I don't like, I just can't force myself, I know myself, I'm not picky, it's just that I don't like the brutal type, and I don't like the type of Your Majesty...... Maybe it's because I've killed too many lives on the battlefield. ”
"Huh...... The question is, in this abyss, is there really a demon who is not brutal and is still alive until now?" When she said this, Eluli, who was struggling to carry Xiuya, paused, and then the blonde pseudo-Lori suddenly whispered: "Xiuya, let's escape, I can feel that Antiyak's tolerance for us has reached the limit, if we don't escape, I'm afraid we will really die in this Dragon God Church." ”
"But where to flee?"
"Of course, we have to flee to the strong side, the blood-stained shroud, the god of death, I have secretly studied the teachings of this majesty, and there are still some errors and omissions in its teachings, we flee to it to seek refuge, not to mention a higher status than now, at least it should not be a problem to survive. "Eluli is a fallen priest at the peak of the legend, and Shuya is a paladin at the peak of the legend, if the two of them want to defect, of course, they have to find a demon god who believes in the god system, and it is impossible to find a pure abyss demon lord like Francis.
The half-dragon demon god Andyak is not good in a thousand ways, she is a god after all, and her basic decency still has to be maintained. And the pure Abyss Demon Lords, to put it mildly, are most of them beasts that follow their most instinctive desires.
