Chapter 318: Threatening the Gods (Another Day with a Fever of 38 Degrees)
"Voters! In the name of the gods, I now ask that you immediately go to the Pantheon to attend the ongoing meeting of the gods. ”
As soon as Zuo Si had just returned to Faerun, he was immediately stopped by a female Blazing Heavenly Divine Servant with golden brilliance shining all over his body.
However, he himself had expected this for a long time, and immediately responded quietly: "Since this is the case, then please lead the way." It just so happens that I have something that I want to show the gods a little bit. ”
Without saying a word, the Blazing Sky Divine Attendant immediately cast a powerful teleportation magic.
Moment!
The two of them vanished from the skies above Ascalla, the capital of Am, and immediately followed by a huge palace in a separate half-plane.
I saw that in the hall full of stone pillars, sculptures, and paintings, hundreds of gods were sitting in their places, looking at Zuo Si who appeared with the Blazing Heavenly Attendant with curious, playful, hostile, or interested eyes.
Even the elves, dwarves, and dwarf gods, who had never been interested in the internal affairs of humans, stopped their whispered conversations in private at this moment, and turned their eyes to the young human who had caused an uproar.
The Pantheon, which was a little noisy one second, actually became silent in the next second.
You must know that since the appearance of that huge rift leading to the dark void, the-for-tat quarrel between the gods has never stopped.
But now, when the "main master" appeared, he fell into a strange silence.
Especially Shar, the goddess of the night, who has been trying to make things, and Shirek, the prince of lies, who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, all of them have closed their mouths for some reason.
In contrast, Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, had a smile of excitement and joy on her face, and took the initiative to stand up and open her arms to embrace the child of the plague she had personally chosen.
But unfortunately, Zuo Si did not make any response, but walked straight to the center of the Pantheon, and stroked his chest with one hand to all the gods present and bowed slightly.
The Blazing Sky Divine Attendant followed suit and bowed to all the powerful divine powers, and reported in a tone without a trace of emotion, "According to your will, the Elector Soth has been brought. ”
"You're doing a great job, we don't need your services anymore."
With a gentle wave of his hand, Tyr, the god of justice, was the first to break the deathly silence in the Pantheon.
At his signal, the Blazing Sky Divine Attendant didn't even say a word of nonsense, and immediately turned around and chose to leave.
After seeing the figure of the Blazing Divine Servant disappear completely, Tyr stood up from the huge throne and asked in an extremely solemn and solemn tone, "Voter Soth, do you know why you have been summoned here?" ”
"Of course! Because when I was traveling across time and space, I accidentally opened a huge rift that led to the Dark Void. And this crack caused panic among the gods present. Zuo Si responded unhurriedly.
Tyr nodded with satisfaction: "Good!" Now that you know why, please give us a detailed explanation. For example, why do you have such power, to what extent can you control it, whether it poses a threat to the whole world, etc. ”
"What is this? Trial? Zuo Si raised his head and asked with a smile.
"Trial? No, it's just assessing the harm you might be doing to the world. Because as a mortal, the power you possess is too dangerous to be limited. Tyr explained earnestly.
Obviously, it is not difficult to see from the attitude of the righteous god that he wants to solve this matter in a gentler way as much as possible.
But unfortunately, this god obviously didn't know that at this moment, Zuo Si had mastered the ability to summon the multiverse scourge - the Eldrazi Titan, and no longer needed to look at anyone or the god's face.
So after hearing this rude request, Zuo Si immediately burst out with an unbridled laugh.
"Hahahaha! Too dangerous? Must it be restricted? Your speech is full of self-righteous arrogance, God of Justice. ”
"Watch your attitude and words! This is a pantheon, not a place where mere mortals can be presumptuous. Heim, the god of the guards, warned loudly.
"Yes, then let you gods see today how far I, a so-called mortal, can go."
As the last word blurted out, Zuo Si opened his arms and unleashed a simple illusion spell.
Moment!
All the gods present saw three huge figures rising from the ground.
They are Imoku in the form of a giant umbrella-shaped mushroom, Kokire with a hard shell on the outside of his body, and Tungsten Ramo who looks like a death alien.
Of course, there are thousands of Eldrazi descendants around as far as the eye can see.
These monsters from the Twisted Void are like locusts transiting, devouring world after world.
Even the gods who used to be high in the sky were as vulnerable as mud in front of them, easily killed, torn apart, and eaten.
The so-called dignity of the gods, in front of the Eldrazi, is no different from that of mortals, it is just a food that can be devoured, nothing more.
No doubt!
This incomparably terrifying picture deeply stimulated and shocked the gods of Faeron.
Because they had never seen such a terrifying life form, they couldn't even understand what the Eldrazi was, only that this thing must exist somewhere, and now it was being taken out by Zuo Si to demonstrate to himself.
After more than ten minutes and witnessing thousands of worlds turned into nothingness under the ravages of the Eldrazi Titans, the god of war Tampas finally couldn't sit still anymore, and directly stood up and asked sharply in a very loud voice, "What the hell are these monsters?" Can't they be killed or defeated? ”
Zuo Si smiled and responded, "Allow me to introduce you to the Eldrazi, a special life form that originated from the Dark Void.
I just saw the three most powerful Titan Ancestors, known as Eternal Wound Imoku, Endless Reincarnation Tungsten Ramo, and Butcher of Truth Kokire.
When a world appears Eldrazi, it means that the world is about to face a countdown to destruction.
They feed on magic and life energy and are devourers of the material world.
And I, on the other hand, now have the ability to summon them to appear anywhere.
Remember, it is any place, whether it is the world of Torrell, or your kingdoms in the outer planes, or the hells, the abysses, and other material worlds that your faith touches.
Now, please tell me, am I qualified to speak out loud here? ”
Moment!
The entire pantheon became silent, and even a pin could be heard falling from the ground.
Especially Haim, the god of guards who had reprimanded Zuo Si just now, his whole face was flushed, and his two hands were clenched into fists, as if he would strike and kill this arrogant mortal in the next second.
But unfortunately, no matter how strong his will was, he didn't dare to do it easily at this moment.
Because as the god of guards, his primary duty is to ensure the safety of this world, not to bring terrible calamity to it.
Especially if you don't know anything about the Eldrazi creatures.
Also not very good-looking is the god of justice, Tyr.
Anyone who is not a fool can hear that Zuo Si's display and speech just now is a naked demonstration, proving to all the gods in the Pantheon that he has the ability to destroy the world and even the gods.
On top of that, Zuo Si had shown that he could enter and exit the Dark Void freely without restrictions, so he only had one chance to make a move on him.
Once you fail, you must be prepared to bear its crazy revenge.
And this revenge will most likely include summoning this terrifying monster called Eldrazi in the realm of the gods.
Pull one of the most terrifying natural disasters in the multiverse directly to hit your hometown!
Just ask if you're afraid?
No god would be foolish enough to take the initiative to be such a bird.
Even the orc gods, who had quite a grudge against Zuo Si, subconsciously avoided any direct visual contact with this crazy mortal.
The more gods whose beliefs and influences cover several material worlds, and even have multiple different identities and priesthoods, the more cautious they are at this moment.
I have to say that this kind of scene is really rare for thousands of years.
A group of gods who wield great power and mortal beliefs were actually successfully intimidated by a mere human being.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the Pantheon was becoming more and more strange and tense, Ogmar, the god of knowledge, finally stood up and said with a smile on his face, "Okay, don't be so nervous. I believe Soth is simply trying to tell us that there is such a terrible threat as the Eldrazi in the endless universe, right? ”
"Of course, your wisdom is unmatched."
Zuo Si hurriedly borrowed the donkey and bowed to this ally, who had provided him with a lot of help.
Seeing the two singing and harmonizing, the corners of the Goddess of Magic's mouth at Midnight couldn't help but twitch slightly.
To be honest, when she was really frightened by the all-destroying power of the three Eldrazi Titans just now, she even thought that Zuo Thought wanted to use this as a coercion to gain the same rights and status as the gods.
But the result?
With Ogma's help, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly eased a lot, and even gave himself and the gods a decent step.
Tyr, the god of justice, looked at the fearless young man standing in front of the gods with complicated eyes, and it took a full minute before he asked, "Who are you?" And why deliberately display those terrible monsters? ”
Zuo Si replied meaningfully: "Me? I'm just a traveling mage who wants to be a mortal and a god.
I respect the teachings, ideas, and authority of the gods, but I ask you to give me the least respect.
Also, please don't try to influence or even manipulate my fate, because we are the only ones who can decide the fate of the traveling mage.
As for showing the Eldrazi, I just want to tell you that I am not an ant, but someone who is qualified to sit at the negotiating table.
After all, dragons and lions don't allow a small bug that can be pinched to death on an equal footing with them.
Moreover, there is an interesting theory in my homeland that if two countries and interest groups want to ensure long-term peace, they must ensure that they can destroy each other.
Because only when both sides know that the other party is capable of killing themselves, will they obediently give up using force to resolve disputes and contradictions.
In the same way, I am using this method to show the gods that you do have the power to kill me, but I also have the cards that can be countered.
In this way, if some god wants to do something to me or come to me for trouble, I need to think carefully about the consequences. ”
When he said this, Zuo Si's eyes never left Ciric and Shar not far away.
One of these two powerful powers hurriedly turned into black smoke to hide himself, and the other pretended that nothing had happened.
Obviously, for a god like them, who is completely native to Faeron, once they are knocked on the door by the Eldrazi, it is basically no different from a death sentence.
Not to mention whether the two of them have enough strength to fight against this kind of twisted monster that can't be really killed at all, even if they try their best to defeat it, the little strength they have left won't stop other enemy gods from taking advantage of the fire.
"Mortal to the face of a god? In a way, you've done it. ”
With a voice full of majesty, the huge golden dome of the Pantheon suddenly descended with a blinding white light.
All the gods who heard this voice stood up and fell to their knees, even the powerful gods of Ogmar, the god of knowledge, Midnight, the goddess of magic, Tampas, and Tyr, the god of justice.
Obviously, the owner of this voice is none other than Io, the creator and administrator of the world of Torrell, the god of the gods who holds the supreme authority.
After about ten seconds, a blurred figure with a clear outline came out of the dazzling white light.
"Your Majesty."
Zuo Si touched his chest with one hand and bowed to this god of God.
"I've been following you since you entered this world, young mortal. No, maybe I shouldn't call you mortal, because from the moment the spark is ignited in your body, you are out of the realm of mortals. Io said in a tone that didn't have a hint of emotion.
"Follow me?" Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Io nodded slightly, "That's right." For no traveling mage has ever visited this world before you. You bring a lot of interesting changes and a lot of unfamiliar knowledge and magic. In particular, the ability to open the passage to the Dark Void at will made the gods feel terrified. But promise me, don't introduce those twisted monsters known as the Eldrazi into this world. ”
"Rest assured, I don't have any thoughts or thoughts on destroying the world." Zuo Si bluntly assured.
"Nope! You didn't get what I meant! What I want is an absolute ban. Including the Eldrazi Titans and their creations, they must not appear in the world of Torreel, understand? Io's tone suddenly became stern.
Obviously, as the god of this world, he can be said to be quite jealous and wary of the terrifying monster Eldrazi that feeds on the world.
"Okay, I see."
Zuo Si deliberately put on a reluctant look.
In fact, it didn't make any difference to him.
Because most of the kingdoms of the gods are on the outer planes and are not under the control of the gods above them, the deterrent effect that the Eldrazi card can have on the gods is still there.
"Very good! In return, I will grant you the same status as the gods, as well as the right to no longer bend down to any of the gods. From now on, you will be the only mortal in this world who can freely enter and leave the Pantheon. ”
With that, Io raised his hand and created a chair at the front of the Pantheon without any emblems or colors.
When he had done all this, he disappeared into a dazzling white light, just as he had just appeared......
