Chapter 643: Madam, I Swear to Styx Again! (1/2)
Earth Shrine.
The queen of the kingdom of nature, the great goddess of life, Lady Grisina, was invited by the empress to once again walk to the empress's government study.
Eight days later, she was still immersed in the grief of the fall of her eldest son, and the consequences of the failure of the expedition gradually appeared, making her feel anxious.
In her kingdom of God, there were 4 medium gods and 13 weak gods who followed her son Tyrod on the expedition, and none of these gods returned.
The divine power stored in the kingdom of God, all kinds of war materials, has suffered huge losses.
As the ruler of the kingdom of God, she must give an account to her subjects.
When I arrived at the study, I saw that the Empress of the Earth was sitting upright on a chair, and the director of the Analysis Bureau, Rosen, was standing on the edge of the desk, looking calm.
The evening sun shone in through the windows and reflected on the faces of the two mighty gods, making the two great ones look like two bronze sculptures.
Gresna felt a little strange in her heart, because the atmosphere in the study was unexpectedly relaxed, and if she remembered correctly, Rosen had sworn revenge for her son eight days earlier.
Although I am confused, I still have to talk about etiquette.
"Your Majesty, Master Lawson."
She nodded to the two gods.
Both gods nodded in response.
Then, the Empress of the Earth pointed to a fist-sized, star-shining orb on the table, and said in a calm and slightly proud tone:
"Great Lady Grisna, Master Rosen has fulfilled his oath, and in this cage is the powerful spirit of the traitor Dardalit."
Gresina was taken aback: "What? ”
Of course she heard it clearly, but it didn't make sense at all.
Because from the verdant wilderness all the way to the seventh moving star of the Sixth World, it would take at least two days just to cross the River Styx.
It was four days to come and go, and there were less than four days left for Rosen to act.
In four days, he successfully captured a powerful demon god in a complex battlefield, and he was unscathed.
Grissna asked herself if she could do it, and she couldn't think of what to do.
The Earth Empress pointed to the Soul Cage: "Madam, why don't you verify it yourself?" ”
"I do want to verify it."
Gresina took the cage and reached into it, scrutinizing the souls held within.
Naturally, she knew Daldalit.
Because Daldalit was a logic mage with a great reputation.
When he accepted the invitation to be his son's assistant as a master of logic, his son was so happy that he showed it to her.
So, Grisna personally met with Daldalit, and gave a lot of rewards, giving her son enough face.
She hoped that the master of logic would do his best to help him win the expedition.
Unexpectedly, fate is impermanent.
The mage who thought he would be a powerful help to his son became the executioner who killed his own son!
This spirit in a cage.
It is a powerful god, with a level of 7.0 divine power, exactly the same soul breath as Dadalit, and exactly the same fluctuation of the god's heart.
Sure enough, it's Daldalit!
A fierce anger welled up in her heart, and she questioned the spirit in the cage, "Dadalit, why?!" ”
Naturally, Daldalit already knew his situation.
When he saw Grisna, he knew that he was completely finished, but he still wanted to struggle a little, at least to make himself suffer a little less punishment before he died.
"Ma'am, I was forced by Tiamat and I had no choice."
Gresna sneered: "No choice? ”
"Heh~ It's really a standard selfish person's speech!"
"You are the true God, if you don't take the initiative to contact Tiamat, how can Tiamat get hold of you?"
"You must have actively gazed into the abyss, that's why you were ensnared by the abyss!"
"And even at the end of the day, you still have two choices!"
"One is to preserve the glory of self-determination, and the other is to betray and live. Obviously, you chose the latter!
Dadalit was so frightened that he had nothing to say, so he could only say: "Madam, no matter what, I have failed, so you can dispose of it." ”
Grissna wanted to pinch the other party to death, but she still had her senses.
Turning his gaze away from the cage, he turned to Rosen and saluted first.
"Master Rosen, I admire and appreciate your actions for fulfilling your vows."
At this time, Rosen naturally did not take credit for himself, and said with a humble face: "Lady Grisina, it is my duty to punish traitors and show the majesty of the empress. ”
"And being able to bring back the traitor's soul is not only my personal efforts, but also inseparable from His Majesty's full support."
Gracena's heart moved slightly, and she felt that the young god in front of her was very mellow.
Unlike the usual logic mages, they often seem to be out of place in the mundane world because they are too obsessed with the world of magic.
Several thoughts flashed through my mind.
"I heard that in the analysis bureau, Rosen also has a high reputation, and everyone talks about him in a respectful tone."
"Now it seems that this is not an accident, but because this man not only has an unparalleled talent for logic, but is also very good at reconciling worldly relationships."
"I am afraid that the future achievements of such a god will be very, very high."
Although he thought so, he remained silent on the surface, and after nodding to Rosen, he turned to look at the Empress of the Earth.
"Your Majesty, Dadalit is a citizen of the Earth God Kingdom after all, and I personally hope that he will die, but it is still up to you to decide exactly how to punish him."
The Empress of the Earth had already thought about it.
She said solemnly: "According to the laws of the kingdom of the earth, Dadalit has committed unforgivable treason. ”
"In accordance with the military law of the Verdant Expeditionary Force, Dadalit committed an unforgivable crime of rebellion by murdering his commander and killing countless comrades."
"The minimum punishment is to tie up the Killing God Pillar and be punished by the Purifying Divine Fire until the heart of the God completely collapses."
Gresina was very pleased with the result.
"Very good, my son's revenge has been avenged, but I naturally have the lives of countless warriors in the Kingdom of God, and one Dadalite can't afford to pay it back!"
The Empress of the Earth raised her eyebrows: "Madam, what do you mean is that you want me to compensate for the losses of the defeat?" ”
Not surprisingly, in order to maintain the cohesion of the Emerald Expeditionary Force, an alliance legion, she was indeed prepared to give some compensation.
But how to compensate and how much to compensate will have to be carefully discussed.
Rosen observed his words and immediately said, "Your Majesty, my duty has been completed, so I will step down first." ”
The Earth Empress shook her head: "No, Master Lawson, you can listen from the side, seal the door, and don't let the fourth god hear this conversation." ”
In that case, Rosen did as he was told.
Grisina's heart moved again, "It seems that the Empress is preparing to let Master Lawson enter the core of the Earth Divine Kingdom. ’
This core level may also surpass the status of the six gods.
It's not surprising to think that she would do the same if she were to be replaced.
After Lawson sealed the door of the study with a divine power barrier, Gresna spoke.
"Your Majesty, the expedition of the Wind Flower Continent has completely failed, and the reason for the failure is the betrayal of the Dadalits."
"For this expedition, I, the Kingdom of Nature, have invested a huge amount of resources in this expedition. Now all the money has been lost, and countless people in the country have suffered huge losses as a result. ”
"Your Majesty, Dadalit is your people, and the logic mage you have personally cultivated. Now that such a thing has happened, are you not personally responsible? ”
The Empress of the Earth propped her forehead with one hand, frowned slightly, and sighed lightly.
"Ma'am, you're right, I do have a responsibility, so I will make some amends to the kingdom of nature."
"But remember, it's only part of the compensation."
"After all, war is risky, and it is not me who really pays for it, but the opponent of the God of Storms, the Great Demon God Suffer and his minions."
Grissna nodded in agreement and sighed deeply.
"Your Majesty, you're right, but after suffering such a huge loss, my natural kingdom of God is no longer capable of collecting debts from the real murderer."
After saying this, she gestured her fingers: "I am level 8.4 divine power, so I need 2 million crystals of corresponding strength divine power, as well as one percent of the total war materials we have invested, as compensation." ”
"If Your Majesty can't do this, then our Natural God Kingdom will have no choice but to completely withdraw from this expedition."
The Kingdom of Nature is one of the best kingdoms, and there are four powerful gods, including Grisina, and three of them have joined the expedition.
The god of storms has fallen, but there are still two gods to fight, one is Eloyar, the Lady of the Lake, and the other is Andor the Revenant.
If the Kingdom of Nature withdrew from the expedition, it would be a great blow to the morale of the expeditionary force.
In the face of this looming threat, the Empress of the Earth did not change her face.
"Ma'am, your request is not excessive, and of course I can pay you this compensation."
"But I don't think it's the best option, and I have a better way to make up for the loss of your natural kingdom."
The Empress was the supreme god after all, and since she had said so, Gresna said, "It is an honor to listen to Your Majesty's wisdom. ”
The Empress pointed to Lawson, who was standing next to him.
"The expedition of the Wind Flower Continent must continue, and a new expeditionary force must be sent as soon as possible, and I intend to make Master Lawson the new commander of this expeditionary force."
"But Master Lawson is too young and his foundation is very shallow, and it is impossible for him to come up with enough strength to fight against Fortress Suffer."
"I mean, I, the Earth Divine Kingdom, and your Natural Divine Kingdom will each provide a portion of our forces, personnel, and supplies to assist Master Lawson in forming a new expeditionary force."
"When Master Lawson leads the army to seize the Wind Flower Continent, the last ranch income, I will give you an extra 10% of the proportion of support forces."
"What do you think?"
Grissna hesitated, but shook her head.
"Your Majesty, it is difficult for my natural kingdom to bear greater losses, if Master Rosen wins, it will naturally be good, but the war will be won or lost, just in case"
Obviously, she was a little tempted, but she didn't want to take any more risks.
The Empress of the Earth said in a condensed voice, "Madam, from the moment we decided to go on an expedition, each of us had no way out! ”
"Of course, you can retreat for a while, but if the expedition fails, then all the gods of our verdant wilderness will be buried with you."
"At this moment, only by doing our best, constantly moving forward, and achieving the final victory, can we completely end this war."
With that, the Empress turned her head to look at Rosen.
"Mage Rosen, why don't you show off your abilities to boost Lady Grisina's confidence?"
Rosen nodded, took a step forward, his thoughts shook slightly, his divine power surged rapidly, and he stretched out two fingers and gently pinched the air in front of him.
A large amount of divine power swirling with the brilliance of the strange starry sky poured out from his fingers and swirled between his fingers.
After a few seconds, the light and shadow and divine power condensed at the same time, quickly converging, and then there was an egg-sized Weili crystal between Lawson's fingers.
He handed the crystal to Grisina, the goddess of life, and smiled: "From illusion to reality, from fiction to reality, from nothing to creation." ”
"It's an honor that I have mastered this ability."
"And this crystal, which can store 180,000 crystals of level 7 divine power, is a completely controllable and powerful artifact, even if it is a small gift from me to the lady."
Grisina's eyes widened.
Rao is that she is already an 8.4-level holy spirit, and she is still speechless by this scene.
I took the crystal and looked at it carefully, and the more I looked at it, the more shocked I became, and I couldn't help but ask, "How did this happen?" ”
After speaking, he felt that he was out of shape, and hurriedly said: "Oh~ I'm sorry, I didn't mean to explore the mystery of your power, I was just curious." ”
Rosen smiled: "To put it simply, the world we live in, the essence of all existence, is an illusion produced by the entanglement of the laws of time and space. ”
"And I found the specific law of time and space entangled into physical objects, and developed the Void Creation Spell with this."
"Of course, this is just a small application of my personal application of the laws of space-time, and there are several other equally powerful applications."
"And these applications are the first guarantee for me to achieve the victory of the Wind Flower Continent."
The Earth Empress continued, "On a personal level, Meenels, the goddess of the night, and I will also do our best to support, not only in terms of divine power and materials, but also in sharing some of our knowledge to help Lawson build a stronger artifact of war. ”
Rosen said, "The support of Your Majesty and Madam Menels is the second guarantee of victory. And if you are willing to support me, that is the third guarantee of victory. ”
After a pause, he said in a condensed voice, "Madam, I swear to Styx once again that if you are willing to support me, I will not let you down, and I will definitely win this expedition!"
Grisna smiled wryly: "Master Rosen, who in this world can guarantee the victory of the war?"
Rosen said seriously: "Because I want you to know that if I go on a battle, there will only be two results: fall and victory, and I will do my best to win."
If it had been before, Rosen's words would not have been very convincing, but he had just done the feat of arresting the traitor, so his words had great weight.
Gresna was persuaded and sighed: "If it were someone else, I would definitely not continue to take risks, but if it was you, Master Lawson, I would be willing to take out the reserve resources of my divine kingdom and gamble again!" ”
The other party's completion of revenge for her son fully demonstrates the courage and ability of the other party.
He also has a harmonious way of doing things, and has the full support of the Supreme Empress and the Goddess of the Night.
It also showed incredible magic.
It makes people feel heartbroken, and they feel that this newly powerful god is a living legend.
If such a hero can't win, then the Order faction probably won't be able to win the expedition.
But she still had some doubts.
"Master Lawson, to be honest, the support I can give is very limited, and what Your Majesty can give must not be too much."
"Your expeditionary force is probably going to be greatly weakened, and I'm curious to know how you can make up for that gap?"
Rosen naturally had a way, he smiled and said: "Madam, in terms of usable divine power, we are indeed inferior to our opponents, but most of the divine power is actually used to obtain destructive effects."
"But in terms of the destructive effect alone, other powers may not be worse than divine arts."
Gresina was stunned: "Other powers?"
Rosen smiled, his gaze swirling around the faces of the two powerful gods, and raised his hand to wave lightly in the air.
"Since power can create things, matter can also be transformed into power, isn't it?"
Grissina was shocked in her heart: "Master Rosen has actually found a way to materialize divine power?"
Even the Empress of the Earth was a little shocked.
Rosen shook his head again and again: "No, I just simplified matter-divine power-light to matter-light."
In fact, it is a pure version of the fusion hydrogen bomb detonated by divine power.
The power of the powerful magic can match, or even surpass, the hydrogen bomb.
But one of the advantages of the hydrogen bomb is that it can be mass-produced!
And this is the biggest confidence for him to win.
Of course, you can't use too many of these killing weapons.
After all, what he wants to occupy is a soul ranch that nourishes people, not a ruin.
