After passing through the portal, the next thing in front of the wizard's eyes was an amazingly long astral passage, Penny could feel his body cross the shadow plane, the elemental plane and other neutral planes in such a crossing, and the next road was full of peace, which made Penny feel closer and closer to the upper realm.

Surprised that the destination of Telamante's portal was the Upper Realm, Penny was even more curious about the Grand Arcanist's purpose.

As a dark creature like a ghost and a cultist of Shar, Penny could hardly imagine that Teramant Tanshur's plan could have something to do with the Upper Realm, and after countless plane shuttles, Penny felt the thrust of the portal slow down, and was probably about to reach its destination.

However, at this time, he noticed that the aura emanating from Telamant's body suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart.

Although negative energy creatures such as the Yin are not liked by the upper realm, Penny is well aware that with the arcane level of Teramant Tanshur, the upper realm has little influence on him, but this sudden change in aura seems to have Tairamant suddenly relaxed some kind of defense.

The wizard had the heart to ask, but remained silent.

After all, this involves the strength of this Grand Arcanist, and outsiders shouldn't ask about it.

"The battle has begun......"

But before Penny could ask, Terramante sighed and explained in an emotional tone why he had let his guard down.

"It's begun?" the wizard frowned.

"Yes, it started, everything was as I expected. Teramante Tanshur's tone suddenly became emotional, and there was a strange sadness in his hoarse voice: "Our lady can't wait. ”

"So the current Yin Soul City ......" Penny immediately realized that with the current level of corrosion of the magic net, it is still not easy for Shar to break the heart of the spell, after all, Mystra's control over the power of the source sea is enough for her to have an advantage in the face of many gods, if Shar starts a war in advance, it must be used to accelerate the corrosion of the demon net.

And the ancient evil is undoubtedly dangerous, and Penny knows very well what the consequences of increasing the output of evil energy will be.

The Shadow City will surely collapse, and even half of the Ionac Desert will be reduced to nothing.

There is no doubt about it.

"It's not as bad as you think. Teramant Tanshur sighed, "Little friend, although the situation is not much better, after this war, the Netherworld City will definitely not continue to exist. ”

"Wait, what will happen to Alexia?" Penny keenly captured an important point: "Her essence is the Mithic Core." ”

"She? her fate was already sealed. Teramant said disapprovingly.

"She is your creation. Penny's eyebrows were furrowed, and the sudden dark clouds that covered his heart made him feel repulsed by Telamante's ruthless tone: "She has always treated you as a father. ”

"So what, little friend, you're a wizard, but you're too young. Teramant's tone changed back to calm: "If you are sensible enough, you will understand how foolish it is to feel affection for the tools you have created. ”

Penny narrowed his eyes, feeling that this was another topic that could not be communicated, he was no stranger to this kind of arcanist who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and whose feelings had been completely replaced by methodology, and sometimes he inevitably wondered if he would become this bird in a few thousand years, but at least for now, he often did not agree with this idea.

Like this kind of feelings, it shouldn't be confined to a small range, Alexia, who can cry, laugh and coquettish, is much more lovely in Penny's heart than these impersonal big arcanists.

"So you're still human. As if to understand Penny's thoughts, Teramante sighed:

"So this should be understandable, in fact, it's not just you, even I, just now I was sentimental for a short period of time. ”

Penny was silent, the destruction of the Netherworld City could only make the Netherworld Lord 'feel sentimental for a short time', but considering Teramant's age, it was already an incredible thing to be able to have such feelings.

"It's good that you love Alexia, at least to be able to enjoy the pleasure that comes from this feeling, and although it may seem ridiculous to a wizard like me, it is fun after all. The thrust of the portal stopped, and the two stopped in a void full of positive energy, and Telamante channeled a spell again, and then floated in the sky and stood still, talking to the wizard: "Actually, things won't be so bad, follow me, you still have a chance to save her." ”

"But I always felt that all of this was designed by you arcanists, so that my small being had to follow in your footsteps. Penny shook his head.

He found himself among so many great arcanists, and he was really terrifyingly weak, and judging by how he felt now, since he became a red-robed mage, his every step seemed to be pinched and calculated just right- When he was in Serre, Sazakan almost turned him into a puppet, and when he arrived at Ximen, Helaster played with him between applause, and after returning to Serre, if he hadn't noticed something wrong in advance, and Yefaan reminded him, he almost fell into the domination of Sazastan, and now that he entered the Netherworld City, Penny could feel that all his actions were controlled by Impnos, Eliskendain, and Terramante, and even Sazarstan and Helast, who were lurking in the shadows, probably would not ignore his existence.

In such a situation, it is difficult for him to break away from their calculations at every step.

I have to say that this is something that seems a little sad.

However, Penny knew that this was normal, compared to these old monsters, his intelligence and strength were too far behind, and it was only natural that he should be toyed with between applause.

"Designed out?Do you feel like you've been controlled like marionettes by a bunch of old guys like me?hehe~ That's normal, young man. Teramante Tanshur laughed in surprise: "When I was younger, I had the same thoughts as you, you know, when Nethrel was still around, there were too many great arcanists who were stronger than me, but you have to think clearly, little friend, most of the humanoid creatures in this world, we old monsters don't even bother to look at it." ”

He said unhurriedly: "It is precisely because you are good enough that we will choose you, because you are the only suitable person, little friend, you are smart enough compared to those stubborn fools, at least you have not asked me to give up the plan of Netherworld until now, let alone try to forcibly stop it Penny tugged at the corners of his mouth, of course he would not make such a stupid request, whether it is Elith Kendain or Teramant Tanshur in front of him, or even Sazastan, Hyraist, all trying to fish in troubled waters from this cataclysm - although Penny didn't know what Teramant Tanshur wanted, Penny was sure that if he tried to end this plan with violence before the time was ripe, he would inevitably be killed by Teramant without hesitation, and with the huge power disparity between him and Netherworld, even if Alexia was willing to help him, at most it would only allow him to escape his life.

Maybe the righteous man in Penny's position will give it a go knowing that he will fail, but he can't, he is not willing to make useless efforts, and if he is kicked out of this incident, he will lose all opportunities.

Alexia...... Although reason had led him to choose to be at the mercy of Teramant, there was still a fire burning in his heart, and it was clear that regardless of the outcome of this war, Alexia would inevitably fall victim to it.

This must have been expected by Teramant.

The wizard couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow.

Wrong!

The wizard remembered what Teramante had just said, and he still had a chance to save Arri.

At the same time, he remembered Terahmante's attitude, and a thought eased the anxiety in his heart slightly: it was absolutely impossible for a grand arcanist like Teramante to go to great lengths to create a creature like Alexia for no reason, and then let her destroy it in an inevitable catastrophe, and that Telamante would create Alexia for a purpose.

"Master Terramante, can you tell us a little bit about what will happen to Alexia?" asked Penny.

"Shar needs something to speed up the corrosion of the magic net, and to rearrange the source force structure around the source area. ”

"She has a crush on that Mithic core?"

"Yes, the Mithic Core under the Netherworld City is the only Mithic Core that can still hold up a floating castle in the main material realm. "For thousands of years, the Arcanists and Shar of Netherland have been transforming it, and its power is already different from those works of the Chroma era, and it can be said that Toriel is the only remaining Mithor core with sufficient power, and it is best to use it as a medium to collect Mistra's divine power." ”

"So, Alexia......" The explanation didn't make Penny feel any lighter, and he quickly thought of some of the things that Shar might do.

"If Shar's plan goes well, of course she will be a victim of this war......" the old god of Terramante said something that made Penny unhappy, "but unfortunately, Shar's plan will initially receive a very good result, but not the final ending, well, their messenger is here, and we can go in." ”

"They?" Penny saw that the misty vision in front of him gradually became clearer, and several beautiful women with graceful and cool clothes slowly walked from a distance, as if to greet them, "What kind of place is this?"

As the fog quickly dissipated, he saw a fairyland on earth.

The verdant fields are filled with birds with beautiful feathers, the woodland is covered with clouds with waterfalls, the sky is blue, full of light without the sun, and the elaborate halls and pavilions overlap in the distance, and clear streams flow everywhere.

Countless elves roamed the woods, and of all the places Penny had ever seen, none was more beautiful than the one in front of him.

"Here?" the Lord of the Shadows stood between the streams, clearly not feeling his dark aura spoil the atmosphere here:

"It's a great place to watch and get involved in this war. ”

His answer left Penny even more confused.

And the beauty who came to greet her from a distance gradually approached, but Penny smelled a familiar scent.

The smell of God's surname...... And it's a very familiar god...... Is this the kingdom of some god?

He looked at the landscape around him again, and a thousand thoughts welled up in his mind.
