Chapter 28: The Shadow Pact
Endless black smoke began to erupt from the cracks in the bones of the Doombringer's body.
The sharp pain that shook the soul was like a harvester, frantically harvesting the pain nerves that had long since disappeared, making the messenger of doom hold his head and howl.
The black smoke that rose up quickly gathered the phantom of a black lifeform above his head.
The physical condition of the Doomsday Messenger has been almost consumed by the Elegy of the Soul, how can he bear such a torment now.
The body fell heavily to the ground, but the blood-colored eyes full of unwillingness and anger stared at the phantom above the head, not moving an inch.
The silent confrontation soon ended with the Doomsday Messenger running out of energy.
"It's good to have another powerful servant. This was the last voice the Doomsday Messenger heard before he fell unconscious.
When the Doomsday Messenger woke up again, he found that his body was already in the abyss, the land of the magma lake that warmed the black lifeforms.
Not far away, the shadow demon phantom, which had been beaten back to its prototype again, floated silently above the magma lake, as if it had been waiting here for the Doomsday Messenger to wake up.
The awakened Doomsday Messenger is like a woke lion, roaring and pounced on the Shadow Demon.
It's just that the murderous intent has just started, and a memory suddenly wells up in his mind, but he has to stop his pace.
This memory that suddenly appeared in his mind clearly conveyed a message to the Doomsday, that is, in the process of his coma, he had become a slave who had signed a soul contract with the black lifeform like the Shadow Fiend.
In his contract, he must assist the Shadow Fiend and help him devour the evil spirits, so that he can continue to supply the power of the soul to the black lifeforms.
If the contract is violated, the energy imprint that remains in the body of the Doomsday Messenger can also completely wipe out the soul of the Doomsday Messenger
However, unlike the Shadow Demon, the Doombringer is not limited by the energy brand, he can leave the Soul Abyss at will, go to other areas, and capture more evil spirits for the Shadow Demon to devour, as long as he does not do anything that threatens the Shadow Demon Offering, the Doomsday Messenger can be safe and sound.
Although his soul was cursed by the death knell of Wa Shondo, and was permanently sealed in the seven dark realms, he also gained an immortal soul while becoming a demon puppet.
At one point, he thought that as long as his cursed soul was immortal, nothing could threaten him.
However, when the Doomsday Messenger really peeked into the black lifeform energy imprint that remained in his body, a deadly threat that had never existed before completely submerged him like a tide, suffocating him completely.
He looked at the shadow demon opposite, and there was obviously less hostility in his eyes at this moment, but a little more sympathy and pity.
After a long silence, the Doomsday Messenger broke the deadlock in advance.
He accepted his fate, and made an agreement with the Shadow Fiend to abide by the enslavement of the contract, and began to capture and kill evil spirits on a large scale on the planet for the Shadow Fiend to devour.
However, the huge area of the planet has added great difficulty to the search of the doomsday army.
In addition, in order to survive, many evil spirits often hide deep underground, in the cracks of mountain veins, which greatly reduces the search efficiency.
In order to avoid breaking the terms of the contract because he could not find enough evil spirits, the Doomsday Messenger ordered the more powerful evil spirits in his Doomsday army to scatter all over the planet and make the land king.
Since the evil spirits in the Doomsday Army, both individually and as a whole, are much more powerful than the idle low-level evil spirits outside, it is only a matter of time before they dominate the entire planet.
After dominating the entire planet, the Doomsday Messenger ordered the evil spirit overlords in each region to start their own troops and search for hidden evil spirits in their respective regions.
After searching for a certain number of evil spirits, they must offer all the evil spirits to the soul abyss.
In the beginning, everything went smoothly.
The evil spirit overlords in each region strictly abide by the instructions of the doomsday messenger and carry out the worship of evil spirits in an orderly manner.
However, as time passed, more and more low-level evil spirits appeared around the evil spirit lords in various regions.
Since most of the evil spirits worshiped to the soul abyss were low-level evil spirits, in order to protect themselves, some evil spirits began to bewitch the minds of the evil spirit lords.
Slowly, the will of these low-level evil spirits began to slowly affect the opinions of the evil spirit lords, and this assertiveness has been shaken to the point that the Doomsday Messenger could not shake the status in their hearts at all.
The entire planet, the evil spirit lords of more than 20 regions in total, gathered together to negotiate with the Doomsday!
They believed that their worship was not free and that they deserved to be paid.
They believe that their status deserves to be elevated, and they demand to be freed from the Doomsday Messenger and make themselves kings.
Their decision directly angered the Doomsday Messenger, and in the eyes of the Doomsday Messenger, all those who dared to challenge their prestige would be judged by him.
However, this time, the Doomsday Messenger did not directly kill him.
It is getting closer and closer to the next time for soul worship, and the evil spirit power that is now devouring in the Shadow Demon's body is far from meeting the requirements of the offering.
If the Doomsday Messenger judges the more than 20 evil spirit lords in front of him on the spot, it is estimated that the follow-up collection of evil spirits will become more and more difficult.
In order not to affect the execution of the contract, the Doomsday Messenger was forced to agree to their terms and sign a shadow pact with the other party that would not disturb each other.
However, for a contract to be established, two conditions must be met.
First, the Evil Spirit Lord still needs to regularly worship the Evil Spirit to the Soul Abyss as agreed.
Second, the Evil Spirit Lord must never betray the Doomsday.
As long as any of the above two conditions dares to violate any of the above two conditions, the contract will automatically become invalid.
At that time, the wrath of the Doomsday Messenger will surely reignite the entire land.
The establishment of the Shadow Pact has almost completely liberated all the evil spirits on this planet.
Originally, the fate of the lower evil spirits had always been in the hands of the Doomsday Messengers, and life or death depended entirely on when the Doomsday Army found them.
The establishment of the Shadow Contract is equivalent to dividing the entire planet into more than two dozen regions with their own independent sovereignty.
In this area, the life and death of the lower evil spirits are no longer controlled by the Doomsday Messenger, and they only need to gain the trust of the evil spirit lord to completely escape the fate of being worshipped.
As a result, the number of evil spirits in each area has increased by leaps and bounds.
Seeing that their area is getting stronger and stronger, the various evil spirit lords have also begun to form their own forces.
In order to attract the attention of the evil spirit lord, some powerful evil spirits began to capture low-level evil spirits on a large scale and automatically offered them to the evil spirit lord.
In the end, these powerful evil spirits, through brutal fighting, stepped on countless corpses of the same kind, became the right-hand man of the evil spirit lord, and had the ability to protect themselves in this cruel and chaotic world.
But no one knew that a silent storm that was enough to destroy the entire evil spirit world was quietly brewing under this long battle.
