247 Licking the Dog Temple, the Mind Flayer
At the time of the departure of the god of beauty.
The Sanctuary of Pleasure that had always enveloped the place was also dissipated by the death of the fallen bishop, and thousands of rays of sunlight shone from the outside world, covering the surface of the devastated surface due to the war between the Temple of Beauty and the Cult of Pleasure.
The Sanctuary of Pleasure is littered with traces of destruction.
However, the Rainbow Sky City area outside is intact, and it is still a prosperous appearance, with a clear distinction between beauty and destruction, forming a strange composition.
Saga raised his head, and his vision was full of spellcasters from Rainbow Sky City, and there were many casters at the legendary level.
When the Temple of Beauty and the Cult of Pleasure were engaged in a conflict and war.
These spellcasters stood silently outside the Sanctuary of Pleasure, seeing that the situation would not allow the situation to continue to escalate, and at the same time there was no intention of getting involved in the battle between the gods and sects.
"The people of the Cloud Empire don't want to be enemies of the gods."
Looking at this scene, Saga thought silently.
I don't want to underestimate the Yunxiao Empire, and feel that the Yunxiao Empire has a disregard for the gods and sects that are fighting on its own territory.
Zachar, who had just been involved in the battle between the gods and sects at close range, was deeply impressed by this.
When the legendary level of the two parties was fighting life and death, and it was difficult to distinguish the final victory or defeat, an incarnation of the god of beauty came, and he didn't even really make a move, just stood in place, and used the passive power of the gods to quell the war, and even the high-level legend incarnation of the god of beauty did not have a trace of resistance in front of him.
Even if the demigod comes, it is enough to choke in the face of the incarnation of the beauty god.
And the god of beauty is only one of the gods of the sky, although it is a high god, but it is still a type that is not good at fighting among the high gods.
"God is the true ruler of the Great Ring Multiverse."
"Although the material realm empire is strong, it is still a bit fantastical to want to compete with the gods."
The Empire of the Material Realm still has some influence in the one-third of an acre of its main material world, but it has to leave the main material world. It's almost nothing.
"I don't know when I'll have the power to rival the gods."
Thinking back to the feeling of unprecedented power when the god of beauty came, Sachar longed for it in his heart.
"It won't be long."
"I'm about to break through the legend."
"Then you are about to go to the path of demigods, step by step on the long steps of ascending gods."
The golden dragon took a deep breath, his gaze swept over the clouds that were almost close to Rainbow Sky City, and thought to himself.
Be a lord, play adventurer games and things like that.
For Zachar, it was just a little spice, a little episode.
When he was aroused by the deepest desires in his heart, he saw the image of himself standing on top of the world, and the pursuit of power that surpassed everything, even the gods, was the ultimate pursuit of Zachar.
Meanwhile.
The Pope of Beauty flew into the air, and one of the casters in the group of spellcasters close to Rainbow Sky City, dressed in cyan robes, surrounded by wisps of breeze, the two whispered and talked for a while in a way that outsiders could not hear, during which it seemed that because of what the Pope of Beauty said, the female style turned to look at Sachar, with a look of surprise.
When you are noticed by the other party.
Sachar's eyes moved slightly, and he also looked at the other.
Although it pales in comparison with the Pope of Beauty or her own rank, the feminine style method also has a better face, and has a high-minded, contemptuous temperament around her, which is completely different from the common intelligent creatures.
What caught Zachar's attention was more.
On the left side of the robe of the feminine style, a pattern is embroidered with delicate golden silk thread - a majestic city standing in the clouds.
Within the Empire.
It's not easy to show off this kind of pattern on your clothes.
This represents the identity of the city lord of the Cloud Empire.
The one who was whispering to the Pope of Beauty was the City Lord of Rainbow Sky City, a spellcaster who did not show much elemental aura, but whose strength was unfathomable.
Meantime.
"Mr. Long, the powerful and beautiful flower of the world, thank you so much this time."
"Without you, we're caught up in this turmoil, and we don't know what would have happened."
"Not only are you majestic and perfect, you are powerful, but you are also kind at heart."
At this time, the little goblin, which was as small as a butterfly, was flying up and down around the golden dragon, and couldn't stop complimenting.
It's not just this leprechaun.
Many of the intelligent beings who had gathered around Zachar before were grateful for Zachar's protection.
Although Xia Luoli insisted at first that it was her own existence that made the battle between the Temple of Beauty and the Cult of Pleasure avoid, but when the God of Beauty descended on Sagar's body as a carrier, and then thought of the words of the fallen bishop at that time to recruit Sachar, the other intelligent creatures knew very well in their hearts why a safe zone was formed around Sagar.
It's obvious.
The god of beauty and the lord of pleasure with a mysterious origin both look at this 'flower of the world' in a different light.
The communication between the Lord of Pleasure and Zachar in the world of will, these intelligent beings are not clear.
However, the appearance of Isaacah, the god of beauty, is clear.
You know, this kind of thing is very rare, and they can see it with their own eyes, and it is definitely an experience that they will never forget.
For the repeated praise of the intelligent creatures around him, Saga enjoyed it, but also felt a little headache.
Because of what they call themselves, they generally have a nickname - the flower of the world.
The previous fears came true.
Under the watchful eye of the public, the golden dragon proclaimed in a high-profile manner that I am the King of the Seas, the Emperor of the End, and the Flower of the World!
Thinking of such a scene, Saga shook his head with a raptor, accepting that he couldn't.
"It should be enough to leave Rainbow Sky City, there are definitely not many creatures who pay attention to the beauty pageant champion of the Beauty Temple."
"This nickname won't spread widely."
Zachar comforted himself.
However, at this time, he ignored one point.
It's true that there won't be a lot of attention paid to the Beauty Temple competition.
However, this is purely a game-only premise.
With sectarian wars and the arrival of gods, it's a different story.
Because of the shielding of the Pleasure Sanctuary, there are very few intelligent beings directly involved in this sect war incident in Rainbow Sky City as a whole, but because it involves gods, even if there are not many people who know what happened, but with the passage of time, sooner or later, what happens here will inevitably spread out and gradually become known to the world.
At that time, it will be obvious that Sagar, the protagonist in the middle of the storm, will have a hard time getting rid of the title of the flower of the world.
"I really didn't expect to come to Rainbow Sky City to participate in a beauty contest this time."
"Even if you can encounter sectarian wars, you can also witness the scene of the gods coming."
"The most important thing is that the god of beauty or Isaac has come down with your body."
Amethyst Longtihir felt that the experience just now was a little unreal, and said.
"Strange, why didn't the God of Beauty come down with His Pope's body?"
Xia Luoli blinked, curiously asked.
"Do you know Zachar?"
As soon as he heard the God of Beauty, and then heard the doubts he also harbored in his heart, some of the disciples of the Temple of Beauty around him, including the Pope of Beauty who was talking to the Rainbow City Lord in mid-air, all looked at him slightly, quietly pricked up his ears, and the atmosphere suddenly quieted down.
Sagar, who was in the center of the audio-visual hearing, was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head and said:
"I don't know, the intentions of the gods are not something we can speculate."
The original words of the god of beauty, such as feeling that he is more fresh, are not suitable to say in front of the "original match" like the temple of beauty, Sagar chose to pretend not to know.
Hearing this, the disciples of the Beauty Divine Temple were a little disappointed and looked away one after another.
"Also, it's normal for us to wonder what God thinks."
Amethyst Dragon Tihir bowed his head slightly, looked at Sachar, and said with an undisguised look of fascination in his eyes:
"However, when the god of beauty came to your body just now, Sachar was so beautiful, as if the beauty of the whole universe had gathered on you, and it was a beauty that is difficult to describe in words."
"Is that so?"
The golden dragon's head was raised, and the mark of the flower of beauty bloomed in the center of his eyebrows.
In an instant, he seemed to have turned into a dazzling sun in the dark night, and the eyes of the audience were involuntarily attracted to Saga and converged on him.
Although it is not as high as the level when the god of beauty descends, the flower of beauty blooms all over the body.
But beauty that is not part of the material world is still enough to stir people's minds.
Sachar took it when he saw it, and as soon as his mind moved, the mark of the flower of beauty disappeared from the scales in the center of his eyebrows.
"When we get out of here, we'll take a good look at it in private."
The two little female dragons, Tihil and Charolik, approached Sagar's side and whispered in a muffled voice.
"Absolutely."
Sagar nodded generously.
Meanwhile.
The Pope of Beauty and the Rainbow Lord seemed to end their conversation, and then landed and flew towards Zachar's place at the same time, finally stopping in front of the dragon, looking at the massive golden dragon at the same time.
Under the shadow of Sagar, the Pope of Beauty pointed to the Rainbow City Lord and smiled at Sagar:
"Let me introduce you to you, this is the Lord of Rainbow Heavenly City, the powerful Wind Method of the Legendary Eighth Order, Celia Alpha."
Then, he introduced to the Rainbow City Lord:
"This is the champion of our Temple of Beauty, the King of the Seas, the Flower of the World, Sachar Arceus."
Sachar:.
At this time, he could understand the dragon ancestors who were crazy about some nicknames they didn't like.
"Sacharacus, my god has come in the form of your body."
"This shows the favor of my god for you, are you willing to join the Temple of Beauty?"
"As long as you want, this pope may be yours."
The Pope of Beauty threw an olive branch to Zachar.
The Pope of Beauty is very envious of the fact that the god of beauty came to Zachar, not himself, but he is not jealous, he can be a figure of the pope, and he must have complete trust in his own gods, and the pope fully supports what the gods do, and there will be no doubts.
Because he knew the character of his own gods, he knew that the god of beauty must have a different view of Sachar.
He even took the initiative to recruit Sachar for the god of beauty.
"If I join the Temple of Beauty and become the Pope of the Templar, what about you? Won't you be dissatisfied if you have been taken away from your position by me, a latecomer? ”
The dragon's visor showed a surprised expression.
"Of course not."
"The papal throne does not belong to any one person, it should belong to the most suitable creature."
"As for me, no matter how high or low my status in the temple, I will feel fulfilled and fortunate to serve the gods of beauty."
The beauty god's PUA ability for his own believers must be full, making this pope die. After hearing the Pope of Beauty's answer, Saga only felt that this guy was afraid that he had also fallen for spells such as the electromagnetic slave seal.
"I think the Temple of Beauty is very good, and I am also in awe of the God of Beauty, but unfortunately, I am only in awe, and I have no faith."
Sachar said calmly, refusing.
"Okay."
The Pope of Beauty did not force it, nor was he surprised by Zachar's refusal.
"The doors of the Temple of Beauty are always open for you, and they will always provide you with refuge."
"Don't feel embarrassed when you encounter trouble and danger, please ask for help from the Temple of Beauty, and protecting beautiful things from destruction is one of the meanings of the Temple of Beauty."
He said sincerely.
Saga nodded, grinned, and said cheekily:
"No problem, I'll give the Temple of Beauty a chance to shine."
"Thank you very much."
The Pope of Beauty nodded earnestly.
Listening to the conversation between the two, the amethyst dragon Tihir and the colorful gold dragon Xia Luoli looked at each other.
At first glance, this conversation sounds fine, but when you think about it, it's very wrong.
The temple of beauty was clearly the one providing protection, but it was as if it was begging for Sachar.
The warmth and friendliness of the Temple of Beauty towards Zachar reminded Tihir of a word that is popular in human nations – licking dogs.
Of course, their warmth and friendliness are also a matter of course.
After all, Sachar is already extraordinary, and he is an existence that can be descended by the god of beauty.
For a face-controlled gathering place like the Temple of the God of Beauty, if it doesn't look good, the 'licking dog' will become a 'vicious dog'.
"It's rare to see God descend."
"It's a great pity that I didn't get to witness the presence of the most beautiful gods in the heavens."
The Rainbow City Lord shook his head slightly and said.
Outside the Sanctuary of Pleasure, when the god of beauty descended, she clearly felt a divine and transcendent aura burst out, and the power of the gods made the hearts of the legendary casters throb, so that they did not dare to act rashly, and could only guess what was happening in the Sanctuary of Pleasure.
And just now, the exchange with the Pope of Beauty let the Rainbow City Lord know what happened.
God. The more powerful and closer you are to the realm of the gods, the more you know the gold content of this word.
The Cloud Empire, a powerful empire in the material realm, understands very well how powerful the gods are.
There is an ancient precept in the Empire of the Clouds.
As a last resort, you must not be an enemy of the gods.
It's simple, but it seems to have a lesson like blood and tears.
The Sky Empire is already extremely powerful in the eyes of ordinary creatures.
However, as a member of the Alpha Imperial Family of the Sky Empire, the Rainbow City Lord knew the history of the Sky Empire - before the Alpha Royal Family came to the planet Saiga and founded the Sky Empire, the first group of wind laws came from the Alpha Empire, which was many times more powerful than the Cloud Empire.
But.
The Alpha Empire no longer exists.
The specific reason for this, the level of the Rainbow City Lord is not very clear, and he only knows that it is related to the gods.
In order not to repeat the mistakes of the past, the Cloud Empire put away its once contemptuous attitude towards the gods and chose to be in awe.
"I remember that the Sky Empire hunted down the true gods."
"This kind of thing is nothing to you."
The Pope of Beauty said with a smile.
The encirclement and suppression of the God of Hunting was dominated by the Yunxiao Empire.
This empire fears the gods, but it is not a soft persimmon that can be handled at will.
"God and God are different."
Rainbow City's idea was concise, and said.
"Also, the God of Hunting is just a weak god, compared to my god, it is like fireflies and the bright moon."
The Pope of Beauty nodded, speaking proudly.
The gap between the Lesser and Higher Gods is infinitely larger than the gap between ordinary and legendary creatures.
Immediately, the Rainbow City Lord also threw an olive branch to Sagar and other dragons, and personally invited Saga and Tihir to become citizens of the Cloud Empire as the city lord.
However, the invitation of the lord of the castle is no more attractive than the invitation of the guard.
Zachar refused.
The most basic condition for becoming a citizen of a great empire is to swear absolute and complete renunciation of previous allegiances to citizenship of other nations, or to any race, sovereignty, etc.
Although Zachar was more self-interested, he did not think that he had a strong racial faith.
But let him give up his recognition of the dragon clan and instead swear allegiance to the Cloud Empire. It's completely impossible.
"The gates of the Sky Empire will also be open for you."
"In addition, although you do not want to become citizens of the Sky Empire, I vouch for you as the city lord and can give you the right of permanent residence in all Sky Cities, including Rainbow Sky City."
Sagar scratched his chin and said:
"Isn't the permanent residency of Sky City only available to citizens of the Sky Empire?"
The Rainbow City Lord smiled slightly and said:
"There are exceptions to everything."
An alien true dragon that can get the Divine Descent, and it is not simple in itself, has great potential, even if it can't develop into an imperial citizen, then it must be good to have a friendly attitude towards the Yunxiao Empire.
Of course, it's just a permanent residency, and it doesn't improve much favorability.
Sagar's favorability for the Temple of Beauty is much higher than that of the Cloud Empire.
After all, he can really get a lot of benefits from the Temple of Beauty, and the permanent residency on the side of the Cloud Empire is dispensable for Sachar, he has no interest in living in Sky City with many rules, and it is okay to come and play once in a while, but he will get bored when he stays long.
At the same time.
The casters and the priests and bishops of the temple used magic and spells to restore the destroyed area in less than a few minutes, showing remarkable efficiency.
Not only the destroyed buildings, but even some innocent dead passers-by spellcasters were resurrected by resurrection spells and divine spells.
Shortly after death, intelligent beings with a relatively low level of life themselves can be easily resurrected by the means of sacrifice by some legendary mages and gods.
The lowest level of resurrection doesn't even reach the level of legendary spells.
Afterwards.
Sachar and Tihir were invited by the Temple of Beauty to enjoy a grand banquet in the Temple of Beauty, which was specially prepared for the arrival of the god of beauty, and also for the main character of the god Sachar.
The banquet lasted three days and three nights.
A variety of rare and even legendary creatures are a feast for Sachar and Tihir.
From the Temple of Beauty, the dances performed by the incomparably beautiful priests also made Saga happy.
Due to the nourishment of the transcendent divine power, as well as the satisfaction of his body and mind now, Saga felt that his breath was becoming more and more unstable, and he didn't even need to sleep in the dragon, and he could break through the legend at any time.
Duration.
The Pope of Beauty gave Sachar a prop that he could communicate with him from a distance, and told him many times that the Temple of Beauty would provide him with eternal protection, so that Sachar would not see him outside, and if he was in trouble, he would speak directly.
Now.
If any legendary creature, even a high-level legend, has their sights on Zachar, if they want to do something against Zachar, there is a high probability that they will capsize in the gutter.
Sachar itself is comparable to ordinary legends, and his danger perception and defense are full.
Even if he is much stronger than him, it is extremely difficult to kill him in one hit.
And as long as you can't kill Sachar instantly.
The high-level legend behind him is about to jump out and go crazy.
If only the Queen of the Storm or the Pope of Beauty couldn't deal with it.
As a last resort, Zachar could still consider calling out to Slaanesh and Sadomasochism, and the gods would be happy to hear him.
Although Saga is reluctant to help from outside and prefers to solve the trouble himself, when his life is threatened, he will not be stupid enough to die, and will use all the power he has, including external forces.
After the banquet at the Temple of Beauty, Sagar and Tihir set off for Rainbow Sky City.
Meanwhile.
In the dark and deep underworld of Yar Continent, there is a secret existence of a Mind Flayer Demon City.
In the saltwater pool in the center of the Mind Snatcher Demon City, a huge main brain soaked in the pool trembled slightly, and a rich spiritual light emanated from it.
The Mind Flayer's Mastermind, this is the final stage of Mind Flayer's evolution.
It is the control center of a Mind Flayer society, the material and spiritual core of the Mind Flayer community in which it is located, and although the Mind Flayer individuals can show their own independent character and self-judgment, they are actually controlled by the mastermind.
Of course, there are some exceptions to the Mind Flayer society in the mastermind's control.
For example, Augustus, the Mind Flayer, who is out of the mastermind's control.
The mastermind is the final form of the Mind Flayer, and Augustus doesn't want to be controlled all the time, thinking at the beginning, why is he the one who is being manipulated, why can't he become the mastermind of the race?
With this in mind, Augustus found a means to shield the mastermind's remote control through communication with a large number of psychic warlocks in the Cloud Empire.
After the death of Augustus, the Mind Flayer.
All of its memories are automatically uploaded to the main brain, which is retrieved by the main brain.
The brain, which had taken on a grayish-white color and was full of folds, and although the psionic brilliance was vigorous, it could not hide the weakness of the vitality of the main brain for a moment, and then in the trembling, one by one flesh buds grew from the brain, and finally re-woven into the form of Augustus, the Mind Flayer.
Infused with memory and emotion, the newborn Augustus reopened his eyes.
Although the real Augustus is dead.
But the nascent Augustus was identical in character, and considered himself resurrected, not new.
When he saw the mastermind in front of him, the Mind Snatcher Augustus sank in his heart.
"Augustus, my vitality is waning, and death is not far away."
Before Augustus could resist the Mastermind's control, the Mastermind's voice sounded silently in its heart.
The survival of the main brain requires a large number of high-quality biological brains, but because the living environment of the Mind Flayer is getting worse and worse, it is difficult to absorb enough brain matter, and it is inevitably dying.
And when a mastermind dies, a new Mind Flayer becomes the mastermind.
Hearing the mastermind's words, Augustus was slightly stunned.
"I'll choose you to be the new mastermind."
"I have only one request—no matter what method is used, lead our people to live and regain the glory of the former Mind Flayer Empire."
Following a deity of mysterious origin may lead to the resurgence of the Mind Flayer, who is already on the verge of extinction.
Although it could also be even more declining.
But this is one of the few hopes of the Mind Flayer Society.
In addition, although the Mind Flayer is almost extinct, this cannot change the fact that this species is powerful, and the influence of the Mind Flayer on the mind and the means of enslavement are also well suited to the power of Slaanesh.
The mastermind, who is almost one step away from death, pins his hopes on Augustus, on the mysterious Slaanesh.
