Chapter 344, Chaos Expedition!
In the year 1363 of the Valley Calendar, the highest heaven, the camp of the Pole Star, the home of the Pantheon of the forgotten realm.
The god of guardians, Haim, the eternal eye of sleeplessness, is tidying up the Pantheon, as the representative of the will of the god AO, the appointed arbiter, Heim is always vigilant and always lonely, since he was promoted by AO to be the caretaker of the Pantheon, Haim has always performed his duties in silence, he rarely speaks, rarely expresses his opinions, once he encounters problems, Haim will only rule according to the law, justice is never in his consideration.
Hey, Heim was not like this before, before he became like this, he also had lovers and had his own life, but after the dawn of the gods, Haim faced all beings with an eternal cold attitude, the only thing that could make Heim a little tolerant was children, and the god of protection would only relax a little in the face of children.
Above the Sea of Chaos, AO's Polestar Tent is so magnificent and magnificent, in the middle of a chaotic sea of energy, a large complex of ancient Greek-style buildings stands above Discord, although just below the Polestar Tent, the Chaos Sea is constantly corrupting, disappearing, reorganizing, forming, and disintegrating at any time and place, but this scene better reflects the magnificence of the Polarstar Tent.
The slender stone path of light paved the passage to the Pantheon, and every god couldn't help but worry about what would happen if they fell into the Chaos Sea, whether the gods of the Human Way would die in the true sense of the word, but they had already tasted the results of falling into the Chaos Sea once - a few years ago, it was because the Tablet of Destiny was stolen that the god AO gouged out Tyr's eyes in a fit of rage and knocked all the gods to the dust. Or some demigods who have long been forgotten, and none of them can escape the fate of leaving the kingdom of God and possessing mortals.
The sky of the Polestar tent was very eerie, directly above the Pantheon, the sky blue sky shrouded the temple, but in the clear sky it was dotted with dark stars, and the vast temple was lined with a large number of seats, where every god could find his place, the only vacant was the empty seat on the rostrum in the center of the Ring Temple.
The god AO almost never appears here, he is always absent, and the gods have become accustomed to his vacancy, and even every god is afraid that the god ao is really here, because every appearance of the AO means that something big is about to happen.
For the gods, it is difficult for anything that happens in the mortal world to affect their enjoyment of the throne, and major events may lead to the danger of the gods' fall.
After confirming that this place was dealt with, the god of guardians, Heim, took a cold look at his surroundings, when he was alone, Haim always thought in his own kingdom of God, thinking about the law, thinking about his duty, thinking about his future, Haim was tired of his duty, he could only deal with the affairs between the gods with a strong spirit, which was the duty given to him by AO.
It's time to go.
Heim opened the door to the Pantheon.
The first deity to arrive was the impatient Storm Lord Talos, who looked like a tall, mad old man with a mantle, each movement carrying a thunderous wind.
The second to arrive was Tampas, the god of war, who was wearing heavy armor as always, and he greeted Talos, who was not too prejudiced against Tampas.
The third to arrive was the night lady Shar huddled in the shadows, the most ancient goddess was wearing a star-spotted plum sparse shadow Qiu Ying Mengxi light gauze skirt, under the long skirt was a pair of translucent black pearlescent ultra-thin silk feet outlined by beautiful silk feet, seeing that Talos and Tampas arrived first, the beautiful ancient goddess had a disdainful expression on her face, he had no interest in communicating with these two idiots.
The famous Fire-Haired Lady arrives in fourth, and when Sunny, who has long fiery red curls and white teeth, and wears a gold-plated pearl half-sleeved summer-style sunny dress that shows her long wheat-colored legs in the slit of the skirt, she immediately catches the attention of Talos and Tampass.
"Oh my fiery hair, your charm is like a ball of lightning at the top of a storm cloud, and I can't find any words to describe your beauty." Talos flashed in front of Sunny, and the Lord of the Storm immediately summoned two balls of lightning, which he personally weaved into a flowing headdress of electric light, carefully placed it on Sunny's head, and provoked the courtship dance of the Northland barbarians.
"Giggles~ Talos, you're always so enthusiastic." Shannie giggled.
"My sword is your sword, and my axe has always fought for you, my lady!" Tempest, the War King Tampas, fell to his knees in front of Sunny, boldly professed his love, offering her a blood-red flower made of all the usual blades.
Shannie instinctively stepped back, the Fire-Haired Lady didn't like to fight, but when she saw her retreating, the Warlord immediately took a strong step forward and signaled that Fire-Hair had to accept his gift, and Shannie accepted Tampas's very aggressive gift with a strange face.
Tyr, the god of justice who appeared next to Sunny, wanted to talk to Firehair, but when he saw the Warlord and the Lord of the Storm surrounding Firehair, Tyr could only silently hide his gift, the wooden horse he had carved with his own hands, into his arms, waiting for the next opportunity.
Losanda, the god of the dawn, and Cetia, the Mother of the Earth, arrived at the same time, arm in arm, but they were the bigger ones than the shorter, younger-looking Losanda who was more like mother and son than lovers.
Ogma, the god of wisdom, was followed by Ogma, who was dressed in a wide robe with long sleeves and carrying a marimba on his back.
Sivannas, the father of the oak tree, appeared in the form of an old man with a sad face and no desire to talk, but just said hello to Cetia, the mother of the earth, and found his place to sit down.
Then came the pale and thin Prince of the Dark Sun, dressed in a high-necked gown, Hirek, who looked at all the gods with disgust as soon as he appeared, and he did not have the idea of communicating with any gods, but instinctively wanted to sit in the AO's place, but the god of protection, Haim, used his body to tell Cirek that it was impossible.
The last to arrive is the third generation of the goddess of magic, Midnight, from the point of view of appearance, midnight is a very young and beautiful young woman, with delicate and translucent skin and long black hair, the goddess of magic's simple and elegant dark velvet robe reveals a pair of black boots, the mesh around the waist represents the power of the magic web.
Midnight was once a mortal, and during the Sage Havoc, she teamed up with Ciric to find the whereabouts of the Tablet of Destiny, but now you can see how strange the pair has been, and the two powerful gods can't help but look at each other's faces with hatred the moment they see each other, and Cirek immediately spits out the most vicious words, and Midnight reveals the evil deeds that Shirek has committed.
All of this is seen by the Night Lady Shar, who can't help but smile viciously.
Yes, hate, yes, repudiate, this will be the source of my strength.
βOrderοΌβ The 11 powerful gods were noisy, and the god of protection, Haim, couldn't help but stand on the stage and shouted, "Quiet! β
"Why is there a High Council of God? Heim. Midnight couldn't wait for the goddess of magic to be the first to ask, as a new god, he has not yet fully integrated into his priesthood, he is very talented, he just needs enough time.
"Chaos Crusade, of course, idiot!" Talos, Lord of the Storm, the Raging God-King, roared into Midnight, "The alien gods have put their hands into the realm!" β
"Stinky bitch." Ciric scolded secretly, "There's no place for you to talk here! β
"What the hell is going on?" Tyr, the god of justice, said.
"Chaos Crusade!" Tampas repeated, chewing on the words in his mouth, and the War King's expression was full of excitement: "Expedition!" β
Sunny has no interest in the Chaos Crusade, and Firehair is showing off the gifts she has received to Mother Earth.
βOrrrrrrderοΌβ Heim struck the hammer again, and the god of the guardians sighed again, feeling physically and mentally exhausted every time he presided over the council of the higher gods on behalf of his master, the god AO: "The god of knowledge will tell us." β
Ten pairs of eyes turned to Ogma, and the god of knowledge with powerful divine powers sorted out the words and told the matter to all the powerful divine powers.
Aaron Salion's Chaos Crusade.
This winter, the Emissary of the Outer Gods has officially announced a new challenge, the Chaos Crusade located in the Hall of the Round Table at Salian Castle, which anyone can enter to take on the Chaos Crusade.
The essence of the Chaos Expedition is a journey of the soul, every mortal, regardless of their strength, will be uniformly washed into adventurers who have just awakened the talent of professionals after they start the Chaos Expedition, and begin a three-day test, adventuring in groups of four in the Chaos Demon Domain, they will quickly increase their career level in the adventure, and rely on the favors and promotions obtained randomly within a fixed time to face the final challenge.
If the challenge is completed, mortals can choose one of the loot from this Chaos Expedition to bring back to the mortal world, whether it be a class level, a divine favor, a magical item, wealth, or something else.
Chaos Expedition can be formed by four people in a row, or it can be randomly teamed up by passers-by, the difference is that a fixed team will increase the difficulty, while a random team will not only reduce the difficulty, but also increase the level of rewards.
Aaron's Chaos Expedition detonated the entire central area of the realm as soon as it was announced, and the Hall of the Round Table was overcrowded, and after just a few rounds of expeditions, someone received powerful divine graces, broke through the shackles of long-term restrictions, or won unimaginable magical items.
However, as the number of participants increased, the drawbacks of the Chaos Expedition gradually became apparent.
No one soul can withstand the defeat of the Chaos Expedition twice at most, and once someone falls in front of a thousand strange enemies in the Chaos Expedition for the third time, and is lost in the complex and bizarre Chaos Demon Domain, then they will lose their soul forever.
After a few rounds of challenges, more than a dozen mortals have officially declared their souls lost.
Here's the problem, these souls will not stay in the realm of heaven, but will leave the crystal wall system forever and become the playthings of the dark gods.
This is a very bad sign, and it also bypasses the primordial contract.
What makes the gods even more alarming is that through this method, it is possible for the four powerful gods outside the crystal wall system to gradually enter the ranks of the gods of the kingdom, and according to the power shown by Aaron, none of the four powerful gods is not an aggressive and difficult guy.
"This is absolutely not allowed!" Talos, the Lord of the Storms, was the first to roar, "This is the most despicable trick, the worst trick!" Aaron Salian ...... We've all heard his name, he's here on a mission, he's stealing the food on our plates, astral magic is it, so is the Chaos Crusade, are we going to watch the soul slip away under our noses? β
"Yes, that's the problem." Ogmar, the god of knowledge, remained calm at all times, ignoring the fury that Talos was accustomed to, and said to the powerful divine powers present: "The outflow of souls is absolutely forbidden by His Majesty AO, but His Majesty AO will not interfere with souls leaving the crystal wall system on their own. β
"If we accept the Chaos Crusade, it means that the four powerful gods behind Aaron Salian will one day have their place in the pantheon."
"Talos proposes to convene this Council of High Gods, and you will vote on whether or not to sanction Aaron Salian and his Chaos Crusade? Do we accept the possible addition of four powerful gods? β
"The trial begins now, and I beg you to cast a fair vote!"
Tyr, the god of justice, took over the presiding judge at Haim's beckoning, and the eyeless one-armed man signaled for everyone to start voting.
"I vote yes!" Talos was the first to roar, "I'm in favor of banishing Aaron Salian to see what his astral magic has made the kingdom look like?" Sooner or later, the misuse of the Salian Exchange will ruin our world! β
"I vote yes too!" The god of the dawn, Loshanda, suddenly spoke, with a hint of displeasure on his sunny young face: "Look at him, the Chaos Expedition is open to everyone, isn't this encouraging the breeding of dark forces?" For the sake of the long-term peace and stability of the kingdom and the goodness of the kingdom, I think it is necessary to stop the Chaos Expedition and never allow evil to enter the kingdom. β
That's two votes in favor.
"Loshanda, your two-faced stab didn't surprise me." War King Tampas stepped forward, and the powerful divine power of the Chaos Neutral camp did not hesitate to express his appreciation for the Chaos Expedition: "Fighting for power is never a shame, but a glory, I think the Chaos Expedition is very good, if you choose to fight, you have to pay the price, I am against it, if they really come, I will fight head-on." β
"If there is a fight that is a last resort, it must be because of love." As a good girlfriend of the Silver Virgin Suren, the fire-haired lady Shannie is also a good joker, and there is no doubt that she is on Aaron's side: "I think some people feel that they are not strong enough!" β
Shine's statement embarrassed Talos, and the Lord of the Storm hurriedly explained that he didn't mean that, but Firehair ignored him.
Two-on-two.
"Aaron Salian has made use of the rhetorical technique of knowledge asymmetry, and although he has made it clear that souls cannot bear the consequences of multiple expeditions, I still disapprove of such behavior." Ogmar, the god of knowledge, said lightly, "I agree. β
"I'm worried that once this opening is opened, will we lose more and more souls in the future, like the hell of Asmoders." As the planet god of the realm, Cinthia also expressed her disapproval: "I am also in favor, although it is somewhat sorry for him. β
Sivanus shook his antlers, and the Father of the Oak said, "Life will always find its way out of itself, and excessive interference will only upset the balance, and I am against it." β
"I'm against it too." Tyr, the god of justice, also spoke: "Aaron Salian has fully talked about the cost of the Chaos Expedition, justice needs a price, and any attempt to get something for nothing should be punished, as Loshanda said, the evil ones are better at the Chaos Expedition than the good ones, but this also means greater risk, and every mortal's right to choose should be respected." β
Four-on-four.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Midnight, the goddess of magic, Hiric, and the lady of the night, Shar.
"I'm for it." Ciric's expression changed from sinister to surprised, and he glanced at Talos, because the situation had changed and Darksun had to vote in person, and he had thought that Aaron would be voted out without waiting for him.
"I'm against it!" Before Ciric could finish speaking, Midnight couldn't wait to say that the Goddess of Magic was so preoccupied that she didn't even give a reason.
"Then it's five-on-five." "There was only one member of us left who didn't vote," Teal said. β
All eyes were on Shar, the lady of the night, who had never spoken.
In the end, all the powerful gods thought that Aaron Salian was the chosen one of the Silver Lady Suren, and that the Night Lady Shar was Suren's nemesis, and that he would not miss any opportunity to damage even the slightest strength of his sister.
In recent years, with the rise of Aaron, the influence of the Church of Our Lady of Silver has become more and more powerful, and all the priests have received an additional spell casting system of heavenly magic, and it is rumored that Suren will soon join the Council of High Gods, promote powerful divine powers, and become one of them.
Everyone in the Council of High Gods waited for Shar's answer.
The Night Lady thought for a moment, and got up from her seat with her graceful gait, a pair of black silk legs moving the long skirt in front of her.
"I ......"
