Chapter 732: I swear by the River Styx, I love
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The next conversation of one person and one demon was very cheerful, and for a while it seemed to have a feeling of familiarity at first sight. It seems that they have forgotten that this is not their destination, and they have forgotten the six unlucky elite fire demons who have been skinned, and they have forgotten the people around them who are trembling in fear, and they have forgotten the existence of the blazing god Ariel.
So, of course, the Blazing Heavenly Divine Servant, who had been continuing to be angry, finally spoke—because if she continued to delay like this, she seemed to be unable to suppress the urge in her heart to pierce the heart of that hateful 'master' with her sword before fighting to the death with that great demon, and then open that mouth!
Do you really want to work with him?
Silly, I'm thinking nonsense again...... He can't help me remove the threat of royal power, it will only make things worse, why should I cooperate with him?
So why did you stop me just now?
Silly woman, why can't you find the right place for your thoughts? Do you still think that you are the same as before? The six elite demons around him are all stronger than you! If I hadn't pulled you back, you would have been blown up just now! If you want to continue, you'd better relax, otherwise you're going to assassinate Grazt with that murderous aura that even a blind man can see?
You...... How sure are you that there are innocent people all around?
Innocent, only dead.
You......
At this time, do you think it's appropriate to have mercy on others? Sacrificing the lives of these unlucky people to kill Grazt, this deal is not enough to make money?
Ignoring the successive changes in the face of the Blazing Divine Attendant, Edward concentrated on the fact that the Mind Score was too difficult for a human being, and now it was his limit. But the key to victory is likely to be in the next moment, so he has to be focused.
Victory is promising.
Because Edward can basically assume that so far Grazt has told some truth.
Even if he is a great demon, and the great demon is the concrete, volitional embodiment of chaos that represents the root of chaos in the multiverse. But no one rules, demons can't tell the truth, right?
What's more, Grazt is not comparable to ordinary demons. He is one of the Big Three of the Abyss, a commanding height, and rightfully a representative of chaos and evil...... It represents the closest part of chaos to order.
It was once said that order is only a small part of chaos.
Of course. Edward didn't know if this was the truth or not, but in any case, he judged that Razt would not tell a low, completely unsubstantiated big lie - the highest skill of lying is to use most of the truth when lying, and only mislead in key places, and this is also in line with the character of Grazt, who has the self-knowledge of the 'Abyss Triumvirate', 'The Lord of the Dark', 'The Future Demon King', etc.
Grazt betrayed Pandorian Ryan. Or can't beat Edward...... There is a high probability that one of these two arguments is the truth.
So, betraying Pandorian Ryan, will it be the truth?
Grazt didn't want Pandorian to take over the main material plane, that's for sure, and his cooperation with him was based on the idea that Pandorian could help him fight the gods so that he could reap the benefits of the fisherman. According to this line of thinking, now is obviously not a good time to turn against Pandorian Ryan, at least a little later and wait until the gods have been hit hard, so that it is suitable for Grazt to come out and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
As the most demon-like demon, this is an inevitable thought process, so this dark lord will never turn against his allies for no reason, even if he is the longest to betray. But they will not betray their own interests either.
It can be inferred from this that for today's Edward, even Grazt, he is not sure that he will be able to win-
That sounds a bit unrealistic......
Who is Grazt? One of the three major lords of the Endless Abyss, known as the "Dark Monarch", he has an unprecedented territory of three levels in the Abyss, and the number of troops under his command is the largest in the Abyss. Although he was not as famous for his strength as the two-headed baboon among the Big Three, the rules of the Abyssal Lands were to respect the naked power of "chiluo", so it was inferred that his combat power would never be inferior to that of a mid-level god. What's more, there is a portal behind him that can provide a certain amount of subordinates. As long as the six Barlow Flame Demons around him could delay Edward for a few seconds, it would be enough for the Esolate Lord to grasp the entire battlefield in his hands.
But don't forget Jì, the Great Demon of the Abyss Triumvirate Level, who is also a demon.
This is nonsense, of course, but truth is often something that sounds like nonsense...... Importantly, it is inevitable that the demon will be suppressed by the power of the plane.
And how big will this pressure be?
Grazter is probably the most well-known demon lord in the main material plane, and the reason why he is so famous in the human world is naturally inseparable from all kinds of propaganda, but the interesting thing is that those propaganda are not to warn people about how terrifying and powerful this great demon is, but to promote one of his troubles.
During the height of the Magic Empire, there was a powerful witch, a Grand Arcanist who was revered as the King, and her greatest achievement was achieved through the Grazt, the Lord of the Dark.
Legend has it that the queen prepared a magical trap and associated it with a summoning spell, and either out of curiosity or absolute confidence in her own power, Grazt gladly accepted the invitation...... Then, according to the principle of the so-called no-zuo, no-die, he was captured by the witch king. Not only was he imprisoned as a slave for many years, but he also staged some very beautiful stories about queens and summoning pets......
After a long period of captivity and enslavement, he managed to make the witch king fall in love with him, and a child was conceived between them, and finally took advantage of some opportunity to stage a great escape and return to his own realm.
Out of disparagement and contempt for the dark lord, the gods acquiesced to their followers to spread the story, gossip is always more fascinating than serious, so that the common people will not care if the great demon has the power to destroy the world, anyway, fighting him is always a matter for the gods and the brave, but it is enough to make their lives less boring.
Of course, Edward wasn't a civilian, so he was able to deduce certain things from this little paragraph - for example. Grazt's weakness, at least he was sure that what Arcane could do, a psychic ability that fused with divine power, should be the same.
Moreover, the dark lord here cannot be the real dark lord.
The methods of these great demons are not much different from the gods at all. For example, use power to shape clones, give enemies magical spells, and so on...... Therefore, the power of the royal power will definitely have an impact on them......
The rest is ...... Is it close?
Regardless of whether it will work, the biggest question is this.
The key to the role of kingship in divine power lies in touch...... But I want to run into a monster of Grazt's level. What's more, he had joined forces with Pandorian Ryan, and he must have understood its power, and now he was naturally more guarded.
And the most important thing is that even if he really succeeds in absorbing it, in his current state, if he absorbs the power of a great demon. What will happen, and will the royal power be completed by this?
The thoughts in his mind came to an end for the time being, because at this time, the Dark Lord had raised his head leisurely, and his face was straight: "So, Your Excellency Edward, what are your considerations?"
"How much help can I get from you if I agree?" the human folded his hands. An invisible force flowed through the air, and in an instant, the subtle spatial distortion stood like a cage, binding Ariel in it, and the Blazing Celestial Attendant swung his sword in surprise, but the shackles of the space were closed, and her body was frozen in the action of swinging the sword! Xiang the big demon smiled with a philistine face: "Explain in advance, I don't have the strength to unify this big 6, even if you want the population, I can't kill them all for you." ”
"Help? Of course it's a lot. Until the unification of the big 6, my subordinates, supplies, weapons, or those magic items, I can try to satisfy you. Grazter laughed, "Except for something that's too unique, it's not a problem." ”
"Don't even hit it...... It's so generous. ”
In this multiverse, I am afraid that there are few people who can say such things, the gods will take care of the rules, and the devils are stuck to the contract, only the demons do everything, and the meticulous management of ten thousand years has allowed the power of this dark lord to extend to almost all corners of the multiverse, and even the other two who are also the three giants of demons do not have as many subordinates and extensive contacts as the dark lord, and there are even some rumors that there are also dark lines of Grazt in the heavenly realm and the nine hells, which is why he can always successfully provoke the chaotic demons and act as an attacking party in the bloody battle again and again。
But what kind of conditions to propose?
"I don't really like to eat too ugly, so I hope you can restrain your subordinates and don't play some tricks on killing chickens and eggs, it's not good-looking. The psychic warlock chuckled: "Besides, although I don't like this, but there must be a binding force to ensure this kind of thing, so as the initiator, should you have a corresponding means?"
"Binding force?" the Dark Lord repeated the word in a low voice, and with a light movement of his left hand resting on the armrest, six fingers struck a melodious rhythm, "So, what do you want to do?" After a slight hesitation, he pushed the question back.
"After all, this is my first time dealing with you...... In fact, generally speaking, we human transactions will use a contract to guarantee the effect, but you must not play those shoddy lies, and you are familiar with me at first sight, so I think it is just so-so. ”
So-so vows?
"You mean, Styx Oath?" Grazter narrowed his eyes, and the red eyes reflected the smile that curled the corners of the human's mouth.
In fact, except for those stupid civilians, anyone who knows something about demons, even if they only know the surface, should understand that whether they are sloppy or serious, swearing is simply nonsense for demons - the chaotic nature makes them flout the law and is never affected by any contract terms, swearing is as simple as eating cabbage for demons, and they can reverse what they promised you one second. A demon can take 10,000 vows a day if he wants to, but he doesn't have to keep any of them, and if he has two heads, he can even make 20,000.
But was Edward a stupid civilian?
So, the result he wants is certainly not a non-binding oath – but a word. There is one more thing that can be believed from the mouths of chaotic demons, and that is the Styx Oath.
"This damn madman, worm!" "It's just a tiny ......" "Kill you, burn your soul ......"
The moment that word came out of Grazt's mouth, the six Balor Flame Demons roared! They didn't care about the wounds on their bodies that hadn't healed, and swung their swords or flame whips in their hands, besieging the human!
What is the Styx Oath? The strictest of all vows, but also the most binding.
There was a famous quote in Edward's memory that ended a truth. It says that you can't deceive everyone all the time - this is not true in this multiverse, gods or powerful demons, relying on the effect of magic to deceive all people is not unrealistic, and even powerful gods can be blinded by some ingenious magic.
But there is one thing that will not be deceived, and that is the foundation of this world. The river Styx, which flows forever. It is a collection of souls that can hold every soul in the multiverse, and therefore the impartiality of the resulting is unquestionable. At the same time, due to the aggregate nature of the soul, it also has the ability to judge, so that any being who does not keep the oath of the Styx, even a god, can get a suitable enough. Tragic ending.
Therefore, the gods, or the mighty beings, would not casually swear to the River Styx. And in the face of one of the three giants of the abyss, the Ethereal Lord Grazt, a small human being made such a request, it was simply ...... No, it's an insult undoubtedly!
The flaming snake whip spread out the abyssal sea of fire in the air, and the slashing giant sword was like a monstrous snake dragon freed up from this sea! The ground had been burned by the heat of the flame in an instant!
But Edward was unmoved.
He just smiled and stood still. Facing the Great Demon of Determination...... Wait for a black light to roll up, turning a qiē—a flame, or a greatsword, or a roar—into nothingness.
Grazt was silent for a moment.
And Edward was not in a hurry.
That's enough...... In fact, if the Great Demon really made his oath immediately, the Psychic Warlock might not dare to take it next - what he needed was not some illusory 'Big 6 Conquest' plan, but a little bit of time. Eyes move slightly. The Psychic Warlock put a tentacle of the mind on Ariel in the space cage.
"How many more times can you use that attack?"
"No, I can't. I've used all my strength, but it seems. His dark power is even more tricky than the legend, and it is completely unsuppressed by the power of the morning light. ”
"You mother-in-law is such a loser!"
"This boring battle of tongues will end here," the corners of Ariel's mouth curled up slightly, but the golden pupils were already full of frosty indifference: "I can also try to solve these problems fundamentally, although I'm not sure if my vitality can completely destroy the royal power, but do you want to try?"
"That's right, try your best to stare at me with an indifferent look, otherwise it's easy to get into trouble...... Alas, your acting skills are so bad, keep an eye on me, don't care what others think,"
The effect of the eye knife was meaningless to someone's iron skin, and Edward did not look back, as if listening to the temptation of the dark lord with a pensive face, and only continued to advance without hesitation in the spiritual dialogue. "Well, by the way, this expression is much better...... Try to keep it as much as possible so that he doesn't see the flaws. I said ruined girl, tell me about your current situation first, if you continue to do your best, can you pierce the protection on this guy's body? He now has three physical protections and an effect similar to the evil aura, I can fund you to stop for a while. ”|
"I don't need your help!
"I've almost controlled those six fire demons, at least I won't make trouble for you when the time comes. ”
"But if he continues to summon more fire demons, even if there is only one, I can deal with each one, not to mention other kinds of demons......"
"I don't think he will be able to call too many subordinates, so our situation can be simpler, it's up to you"
"With his personality and status, it was obviously inappropriate for him to be accompanied by just six fire demons. Although the power of the Fire Demon is indeed the most powerful among the demons. Edward sneered in his heart: "He is a king, when he travels, he either travels lightly, or hugs back and forth, and he can't put on a show, but it's not a king's style...... And considering the current situation, he should definitely come with a large army. So why did he just let "
"He has to do that?"
"Now that the divine power has been expelled by the power of Pandorian Ryan, he will not be too concerned about any powerful existence in the main material plane...... That space door still has a certain flaw, and can only allow enough power to pass through?
