Chapter 994
In an instant, only the lonely figure of the Devil King remained in the warm luster, but the light never seemed to illuminate his handsome and dangerous, mask-like face, and even if he faced it, he could only see the evil light emanating from his red eyes. With that ornate robe studded with black diamonds and rubies on the body,
A rich, substantial darkness flowed slowly from the ruby scepter, a symbol of the supreme power of hell, in his hand. It absorbed all the light around it, but the dark red at the end of the rod was still as pure and smooth as a transparent crystal, and it shimmered beautifully. The boundless coercion, centered on this point, spreads like a storm around it—
The king of the devil makes no secret of his observance.
So Edward could only sigh slightly.
The arrival of the Lord of the Nine Hells was a little earlier than he had expected—not even before he had completely drained the Hell Origin that belonged to Belial, and although this power was enough to benefit him a lot, it was still far from his heyday.
If you can find the Levistus overlord after this, you can concoct it in the same way...... His power can be restored to at least 30 to 80 percent of his heyday—30 percent of his power can probably help him find the half-plane that originally belonged to him, and be able to reopen the connection with his own god space...... Then even if he fights against the High God again, he has the strength to fight.
But after all, a plan is just a plan, and a happy one is always a rare exception.
Now that Beria is in decline, will Levistus unwittingly embark on the same path as him, as the Orthodox Lord of the Fifth Prison. Whether he would be as fragile as Beria's was still unknown, and even Edward could not have decided that he was going so far. How much tacit cooperation will there be from the Lord of the Nine Prisons - based on the rules of hell, the Lord of the Nine Prisons cannot personally deal with Beria, and the arrival of someone has undoubtedly given him a chance, and Edward can now survive in the Nine Prisons, which is naturally for this reason.
Otherwise, with the power of the Lord of the Nine Hells. How could he allow a supposer with dangerous powers to approach his daughter without the slightest defense?
"Your Excellency Edward, Beria is rude. However, since he has been punished to a certain extent, can this matter end here?" the Devil King's gaze was level. Reflecting the silver figure of a human. The voice was calm and majestic. Although the semantics are for requests, they are no different from commands -
However, such an order certainly has no effect on a human being.
The pale corridor with a slight luster was dimmed, and the silver luster receded from the human figure, leaving only a shadow-like dark cloth that shrouded the human being. He reached out and tugged at the brim of his hood, letting the shadows hide his flickering gaze.
"I said Majesty. You don't deal with the two or five boys from your own family, and let me, an outsider, do the work...... I struggled to get hold of it. You ran out again at this time to buy a good ...... All the good things are yours, and the multiverse turns for you, isn't it?
"I beg your pardon, Lord Edward, can you ...... Use lingua franca to describe your problem?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid, I did the work for you, and I don't expect you to pay much, but, on your daughter's side, I still owe a contract, send my doppelganger to that Levistus, I killed him, let's do it for the three of us, and by the way, I will help you kill another possible disaster, how about it?"
"Sorry, this ...... Not really. ”
"Then what about the fact that I helped you kill this thing?"
"In return, I'll help you get a medium-level god-level divine power. The Lord of the Nine Prisons stood silently, his voice still calm and gentle, and he seemed to be unaware of the human offense in his words, but around him, layers of blood-red fine lines were scattering and falling, reshaping the smooth passage into a corridor within the Sigh and Scream Fortress.
The Psychic Warlock snorted softly. Snatched from Beria, the psychic connection with the castle was severed. He narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing that several of the energies had reconnected with Belial, causing some changes in the former lord's degraded body. But it is far from the situation before it.
"Although it only does not contain the pure divine power of the gods, I can guarantee that it is enough to restore your original power. The one qiē ended in an instant of one breath, and the Lord of the Nine Hells did not pay any extra attention to the one qiē here, and in a whisper, the space around him had vibrated and distorted, leading him and the Psychic Warlock into a grand hall: "Besides, if you are really sure that you want the power of Levistus...... Actually, I don't have to stop it, but are you really sure you want to do it?"
"Forget it......"
This source power of hell is similar to divine power, it is the energy gathered by the so-called law theory, but there is a fundamental difference between her and divine power, that is, the rules of the entire nine-layer hell are ultimately attributed to Asmodes - it is not much different from divine power, but after all, there is still a difference, and Edward doesn't know what this difference is, so he can't be completely sure that if such a power absorbs too much, will Asmodeirs have any possibility to control him.
More than enough is too much.
"The goddess of magic, she may have fallen. The Lord of the Nine Prisons walked straight into the center of the hall, picked up a glass of red wine syrup from a small table, drank it all, and then spoke in amazement.
"Fall?" Edward's brow furrowed.
The sheer upheaval of the astral plane cut off easy access between almost all planes and cut off the transmission of information, but Edward knew a thing or two about Misla's condition - after that war, the goddess of magic had already seen through one of Pandor's tricks, which Edward called 'Divine Power Inverter', and obtained such power with the ability to freely devour divine power. She has broken away from some of God's rules, and even believers are free to increase their power as long as they devour their own kind. is enough to strengthen itself.
Although the great change that took place in the astral boundary, several gods needed to deal with the violent energy bursting out of the royal staff, which was indeed dangerous and abnormal, but as a high god, Mithra must have countless doppelgangers, even if there was only a trace of divine power left in the end, he could still resurrect the soul through the corpse and devour some weaker gods to restore himself.
But now. But the Lord of the Nine Hells said she had fallen?
"Can't confirm, so I said, maybe. ”
Asmodeurs held out his hand. A chair appeared behind Edward: "She fell silent and no longer answered the prayers of any of the believers, and besides, I sent some spies into the heart of the incantation. Notice that it has almost become the domain of the Father of Oaks. All of Mithra's invokers suddenly vanished. ”
Edward groaned slightly.
The so-called supplicator is the soul of the most elite believers of the gods. The core people of the kingdom of God can also be said to be one of the sources of the power of the faith of the gods. Although Edward did not know much about the gods, he also knew that only when the gods were destroyed and no new gods took over the priesthood, would such a situation occur when all the invokers suddenly disappeared.
It's just that such information, although appalling, is meaningless to him, and the collusion between the goddess of magic and the father of the oak tree is no secret to him. As for whether Mishra has fallen...... Although if the goddess did fall, it would be one less hidden threat to Edward. But he had little interest in running to find out.
And apparently, that's not what Asmodeirs really wants to sue him.
"So what? Your goal is ...... Azus?" he asked.
As the Lord of the Nine Prisons, his words naturally would not be as superficial and nonsense as those mortals...... Normally, Asmodeus's every word has a purpose, and now that Mithra's fall is mentioned, it naturally has something to do with what he has to say - whether Mithra's fall is true or not, her inactivity is the premise of this conversation.
No matter how grandiose or poignant or weird and twisted the legends are, the relationship between the gods is actually relatively simple—whether they are called partners or gods, but the powerful are on their own, and the weak are under the umbrella. As one of the most powerful gods, Mithra has two assistant deities, Azus, the god of mages, and Safras, the god of prophets. However, the latter had failed in the battle with Azus in the legend, and the divine power of the guide was greatly weakened, and now it appeared in the form of the staff of the mage god, and the lord of the nine hells and Edward had previously talked about sniping a god with medium divine power, so naturally it could only be this mage god.
But......
"Azus...... Do you know that I was aiming to become a mage before, and although I didn't succeed, I said that I was going to attack the mage god......"
After groaning, the human showed a look of embarrassment-
There is no doubt that every word of these words is an excuse for boredom, and the meaning is to bargain.
At this stage, Edward did not have much confidence in his own strength, and he did not have any hatred with Azus such as killing his father and wife, and he was finally freed from the shackles of the staff of royal power, and all he wanted now was to be a good husband who loved his wife quietly...... What's there to do to go to a troublesome place like the Heart of Spells and talk nonsense?
It's a god's plane, managed by the goddess of magic for many years, even if Mithra really falls, there is still an oak father sitting there, and he made him lose a lot of divine power in the main material plane before, and now he is weakened and still looks after him, which is not a good idea.
Unless the Lord of the Nine Hells is willing to provide all-round protection...... Send dozens of legions to open the way for him or something, but now that the war in Heaven and Hell is in full swing, I think I know that Asmodeus will definitely not be able to squeeze out that force.
"Don't worry, I'm the only one working with you this time. The silence of the human made the Lord of the Nine Prisons smile slightly, and his tone was still flat: "You will suspect, this is not strange, but in fact, the reason is very simple, Azus has left his divine kingdom and wandered the World Tree, which is a rather rare opportunity for me. All you need to do is take the power you need, and do me a little favor in capturing this deity, and I'll do the rest of the work myself. How?"
Has Azus left the kingdom of God?
The Lord of the Nine Prisons personally took action? Give all the divine power of a medium god to a person who doesn't have to do anything? This kind of pie in the sky, walking to pick up wallets, beautiful women driving luxury cars upside down...... Even the good gods have not done anything good in the entire history of this world. Will it be made by Asmodeus, the head of all evil?
"You want ...... What about magic?" Edward frowned.
"Yes, as a supreme law, the magic net cannot belong to me now. However, there are at least some minutiae about the use of magic that I can master. Asmodeus nodded, "Azus has always been one of my targets, but he's always been under the wing of Misla. And his divine powers. It's also quite a hassle for me now. ”
The explanation of the Lord of the Nine Hells is reasonable.
The power of the devil and the power of the gods have always been two incompatible energy, although with the power of the Lord of the Nine Hells. It is not impossible to forcibly swallow a medium god like Azus by virtue of the difference in absolute strength, but after all, it will lead to extremely violent power consumption. So. A Cunzi who can help him absorb divine power, but has no interest in devouring gods, is naturally a partner he needs to woo.
It's just that even if everything is reasonable, Edward's brow still doesn't mean the slightest relief. Instead, the wrinkles are tighter.
Although Asmodeus is not a god, his power may not be inferior to that of any high god in this world, and he has been fighting against the two sides of hell and heaven mountain and abyss at the same time for so many years, but it can not only be completed by relying on the strength of the devils, the strength of the army, and the proper tactics, you must know that the absolute power gap cannot be completely made up by those things-so there are some rumors. It is even possible that the Lord of the Nine Hells is the root of all evil in this world, an absolute being that is a little higher than God.
If he really gets the priesthood of magic. What kind of impact will it have on the world?
More importantly, will he allow a devourer like Edward, who can threaten his existence, to continue to exist? Now the united front does not mean that he will not turn his face in the future, and with the consistent style of the Lord of the Nine Prisons, the timing of this kind of face turning will definitely be accurate to your surprise.
The most suitable time, the most suitable place, to seize the most suitable and greatest benefit for him...... Just like he just appeared.
"Did Mishra really fall?"
After a moment's hesitation, Edward asked.
A simple question silenced the Lord of the Nine Hells.
For him, the question really doesn't matter - whether Mishra collapses, or becomes a devourer, it doesn't have much to do with Azus, as long as Azus's location is determined, and the matter is over with one blow, it doesn't matter if Mithra is really still there?
However, for Edward, this was a big risk.
What if Mithra hadn't fallen?
It is very likely that Azus is a trap, and any praying mantis that is ready to catch cicadas will become the prey of the yellow finch, after all, as long as it is not in the main material plane, for a high god like Mithra who has mastered the rules of the magic net, distance cannot be an obstacle at all, and some methods are instantaneous.
"I really didn't find enough evidence. After hesitating, the Lord of the Nine Prisons replied, "It's a risk. ”
In fact, if there was no evidence, Asmodeus would certainly not have been able to propose the building, but the key now is that it does not matter whether the Devil King knows about the fall of Mishra or not, how he convinces Edward that the fall of Mishra is what matters.
If it is other gods, it is not difficult to investigate, just find a priest who believes in it, and see if he has collapsed - once the god falls, the traces of faith imprinted in the spirit of every priest will also collapse, and the spirit will be affected by the strong spiritual impact of the god when he dies, the more determined the believer, the more likely there is a problem, madness or a trivial matter, directly by the power to death or self-immolation, self-explosion is normal.
But Mithra was no other god.
First of all, the Goddess of Magic has a fairly small number of followers - most of the people who say 'Goddess of Magic is on top' and dangle in a robe don't really believe in Goddess of Magic...... Many of them are believers in the god of mages, and more than half of them are directly believers in the magic net, so they don't care about the amorous goddess.
Therefore, the believers of the goddess of magic are somewhat polarized, and most of the goods are even if the goddess is dead, as long as there are no major problems with the magic net, it will not have much impact, and the loyal believers ...... Maybe at the same time as the goddess fell, they were finished, and there were no traces of the soul that collapsed from the inside, how could they be used as evidence for Edward?
Or the easiest way to do it is to have Edward do the research himself.
But someone simply doesn't want to go.
"Well, what's going on with Azus now? ”
After hesitating for a moment, Edward sighed: "Of course, the best way is for you to find an unlucky guy and give us a way to explore it first, right? ”
"Nice build. The Lord of the Nine Hells chuckled. (To be continued......)
