464 Covenant
When Asmodeurs expressed doubts about Oumar's identity, Oumar's expression became very embarrassed for a moment.
Penny couldn't help but sigh that this Lord of the Devil, who lived deep in the depths of the Nine Hells, had really lived under Hell for too long, and he didn't even know some gods.
This is a very likely thing, Oumar is not a god who is keen on fighting, and there must not be many intersections with the Nether, and the flow of information between the planes of Torel is not so convenient, whether it is a demon lord or a demon lord, it is impossible to know all the gods.
This seems to be the case.
"This is His Highness Oumar of the Temple of Knowledge. Jerk coughed, "Lord Asmoders." ”
“...... It turned out to be the great god of knowledge. Asmodeus' compliment calmed Oumar's expression slightly, "Oh, what a faux pas, I should have noticed your emblem...... But these memories were so deep in my mind that I didn't remember them for a moment. ”
"It doesn't matter, Great Lord of the Nine Hells......" Oumar shook his head in reply, "Long story short, the gods ask for your help. ”
"Please, gods to the devil. Asmodeus seemed to sigh lightly at the word: "This is really flattering to me, Your Highness Oumar. ”
"You are also a god, the great Lord of the Nine Hells, and although you rule over the devil, His Highness and I both know what you are, so we can talk about some things openly. ”
Oumar's response caused the black circle of Asmodeirs avatar to contract violently a few times.
It seems that some gods know where the Lord of the Nine Hells came from, and Penny realizes that with Jecob's qualifications and Umar's experience, it is very possible to know the true identity of the Lord of the Nine Hells.
This Lord of the Nine Prisons is really a god?
Doubts filled his mind, and he shook his head, letting go of his curiosity.
The Lord of the Nine Prisons had long been secretive about his true origins, and it was said that some scholars who guessed his identity would be cursed to death soon after, and Penny did not have the consciousness to go out of his way in pursuit of knowledge.
The things of the upper and lower realms, it is better not to mix them indiscriminately, it is enough to do the things in your own hands.
"There's mortals here, Oma. Oumar's words silenced the Lord of the Nine Prisons for a few moments, and then a powerful mental pressure fell on Penny.
The wizard frowned slightly, and as soon as his mind perked, the mental pressure given to him by the Lord of the Nine Hells dissipated like a breeze, and Asmodeus let out a 'hmm?' sound with a tone of surprise, as if surprised that this small mortal could break free from his mental confinement so easily.
Then Penny felt that the Lord of the Nine Prisons seemed to be completely focused on him: "It turned out to be a transcendent being, two highnesses, the reason why you summoned me is not related to this mortal?"
The so-called transcendent is the name of the lords of the upper and lower realms for mortals with legendary power, and mortals at this level already have immortal qualifications, and their own strength can be compared with the lords of the abyss and hell, of course, provided that they are not on the home field of either side.
Such an identity is enough for the gods and demons to treat each other differently.
"Yes, we want him to go to the abyss in search of something. Jerk answered.
“...... Your Highnesses, I seem to be the master of hell. Asmodeus was silent for a moment, and said something like that in a strange tone.
The illogic of wanting to go to the abyss to find something, but finding the head of the Lord of Hell, is obvious.
"As I said, Honorable Lord of the Nine Hells, don't hide it. Oumar raised two thick eyebrows, "We all know that there is a secret alliance between you and Grazt. ”
Penny tried his best to keep his emotions in check, as he knew that Oumar was testing the Lord of the Nine Hell in front of him, and in fact, the conversation between Oumar and Jecob before summoning Asmodeus undoubtedly illustrated a little bit of a search.
The old and cunning Lord of the Nine Prisons was not fooled as Penny expected, and he let out a low laugh: "How could I be mixed up with a demon, Lord of Knowledge, this is so unreasonable, I didn't expect you to make up stories......"
"It's not a story, it's a well-documented fact. "You don't have to know how we judge this, but I can be sure that the gods can give you what you need," said Oumar with a serious expression. ”
"This conversation is so nonsense, Master of the Temple of Knowledge, I have to be absent, and I beg your pardon for not being a fond of wasting time, despite the long life I have. Asmodeus seemed tired of Oumar's temptation, and the black circle shrank.
"And where are the godheads of Azus and Vishalon? They fell into Nessus in the battle of the Spell Heart, and your actions have not been hidden from us!Don't you need to be made a god?Don't you want to establish a new true godhead and gather your lost power in the various planes of the multiverse?Great Lord of Hell, I have to say that this is a good idea, but if that one doesn't allow it, you will never be able to get what you want!" Oumar shouted loudly and the black circle stopped shrinking: " I'm sure you'll fail again if you don't accept our request!, just as you fell from the top of the worlds to Nessers!"
The black circle stopped shrinking, then opened up again, becoming even larger than the one he had spoken to the two gods earlier, as if the Lord of the Nine Hells had strengthened the power of the idea.
His tone was also unprecedentedly serious, and even became a little cold: "Two Highnesses, I don't like to be threatened. ”
"I'm not threatening you, I'm just stating a fact. "If you choose to help the gods this time, we will all remember your help and will do our best to convince Majesty Io and Gazrila to allow you...... Belch...... Get what you want. ”
Gazrila?
Penny, who was in attendance, noticed the name and remembered that he had seen it in Nessreel's account of the origins of Torreel, the god of the Quetzalcoatl.
Feathered Serpents are a kind of magical creatures scattered all over Toriel, in the form of winged flying snakes, their posture is very elegant, they can communicate with intelligent beings in many languages, and they have extraordinary intelligence, in general, this race is gentle and harmless, full of light power, but the number is extremely rare.
It is a race from the upper realms, with the same mysterious origins as their ancestor Gazrila.
If Asmodeus really wants to become a god, he needs Io's tacit approval, so why should he care about the opinion of this alien god?
And let Oumar use the title 'Your Majesty' when mentioning it.
This shocked Penny, for mortals, it is okay to call a god His Highness or His Majesty, some powerful gods will forcibly ask believers to call themselves 'Your Majesty', such as Bane, but the gods call each other, but it is rare to say that Your Majesty, even if it is a powerful god, it is generally not covered with this title by other gods.
Most of those who can be called Majesty by the gods are beings who have a status and power above the gods and are feared by all the gods, such as Io.
How did this Gazriela become His Majesty?
In addition, Umar's words mention...... Asmodeus falls from the top of the worlds to Hell...... Thinking of this, Penny suddenly thought of a legend that long before Torrell appeared, one of the oldest wars in the history of the multiverse began, and the two sides of the war were the legendary twin snakes - the two opposing beings that supported the original order of the multiverse, representing the good and evil of the order respectively.
I don't know when this war ended, only the good and evil sides were broken into countless pieces in this war, scattered to all planes of the multiverse, the good snake quickly regained its strength with the help of the light force, although the huge losses suffered in the battle made it no longer able to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the multiverse order, but his avatar still oversees the operation of the world in various planes.
The Serpent of Evil has vanished, and unlike the beloved Serpent of Good, the Snake's fragments have suffered disasters in all worlds - creatures of both the good and evil camps are desperate to destroy the oppressor, and the fragments of his soul are scattered and scattered, gradually to the point of no recovery.
And the skeleton of its broken corpse does not know where it has fallen from the top of the worlds...... Therefore, although this war was evenly matched in the process, it was widely accepted by the multiverse that the good snake defeated the evil snake.
Judging from the results, this statement does not seem to be wrong.
Don't...... Penny has a guess about the true origin of the Lord of Hell.
If that's the case, then it's really terrible, and the consequences of making this god in Torel absolutely unimaginable.
But...... Penny thought of another fact, the good snake suffered so much in that war that it became unable to dominate the order of the multiverse, and the evil snake that was more severely damaged than the good snake would only decay in strength even more.
But no matter how much it decays, if Asmodeus is indeed the embodiment of the main trunk of the evil serpent, let him gather his divine power, sooner or later it will cause war...... Are the gods willing to take such a risk to enlist the help of this lord of hell?
Maybe it's a good deal, after all, if Torreel is destroyed, everything will be over.
"Your Highnesses, are you sure it's appropriate for this mortal to hear our conversation?" As if noticing Penny's strangeness, Asmoderates' attention was once again on the wizard.
"Your identity has lost its meaning, Lord Asmodeus. Oumar coughed, "Of course, I'm sure this mortal will remain silent. ”
Penny nodded knowingly.
"Well, actually...... I'm more curious......" Asmodeus no longer dwelled on the mortal question of the wizard, but changed his tone: "What are the gods looking for that would rather make Io and that guy give in than get my help?"
"With your help, it would have saved us at least half of our time and energy, and it would have been worth it. Oumar's tone was a little helpless: "What's more, are you really still a vicious snake born from that skeleton?"
Asmodeus was silent for a while: "Oh, your question is really full of philosophy, worthy of being the master of the Temple of Knowledge. ”
Penny somewhat understood that the consciousness born from the corpse of the evil snake probably couldn't even be sure if he was the snake or not...... After all, that consciousness had already been destroyed once in that war.
"But you haven't answered my question yet. Asmodeus asked, "What are you looking for?"
"Torrell faces destruction. Oumar said with a serious expression: "And the most crucial thing to unlock this catastrophe is to fall into the palace of Grazt, the respected Lord of the Nine Hells, uh, you know, no matter how much Grazt is not like a demon...... But he's still a demon......"
Let the demon lord of the evil destruction of chaos know that he may have something in his hands that can save or destroy the world...... This consequence is really unimaginable.
However, the gods can be sure that Asmodeirs will not mess around with this matter, and perhaps the addition of the Lord of Hell will make things a little uncertain, but as the maintainer of order, Asmodeus will definitely not sit idly by and watch Torel be consumed by nothingness: regardless of the reasons of faith, the Serpent avatar is not yet capable of dragging his body out of Toriel.
"So...... Hah, it's a boring game for heroes to save the world?" Asmodeus suddenly laughed: "It's funny, so this mortal is the 'brave' you have chosen?"
"You are wise, Lord Asmodeus. Oumar replied with a blank expression.
