Chapter 1146 The Great Flood
The eighth sword light formed a warm yellow sword body cage, imprisoning the Forgotten! The Forgotten tried to destroy the sword body barrier, but his offensive was countered by the surging sword intent!
Middle-level wonder · Sword body cage!
Rounds of dark blue ink marks spread out on the periphery, and then gathered in an instant. The Forgotten, who had no choice but to open the defensive wonder to resist, but each round of ink marks was equivalent to crushing his demigod soul with the soul foundation of the Lord of Ash. After seven consecutive rounds of attacks, the soul of the Forgotten completely collapsed and spontaneously extinguished in the cage.
Upper-level wonder · Heart Hunter Throne!
"Sonia, this wonder makes up for your biggest shortcoming," said Death Maniac: "Although the "Heart Hunter Throne" built by the Ghost Demon for you is rough and powerful, it is more suitable for large-scale wars, and small-scale enemies can easily avoid it. The sword body cage effectively restricts the enemy's movement, making it convenient for you to use the Heart Hunter Throne for long-distance high-frequency output. "
Ash glanced at her, nodded and said: "The sword cage is unexpectedly practical. To repay Sword Princess, I will hug her and kiss her madly when I go back."
Death Maniac moved his lips slightly and muttered: "Be careful of the impact..."
Ash asked: "If I want to give her a surprise, when is the right time?"
Death Maniac replied: "When she has just finished training and sweats, she will feel refreshed but a little disgusted with herself. If you hug her at that time, she will feel embarrassed to complain about you on the surface, but she will definitely like your stickiness in her heart, and there is..."
Looking at the endless Death Maniac, Ash thought that she was really as easy to understand as Sword Princess. The distinction between love and hate is too obvious. If you only discuss Sword Princess with her, then Death Maniac is actually quite easy to get along with.
He said: "This is already the third Forsaken."
"The frequency of attacks will get faster and faster next time." Death Maniac said: "You have been noticed by the stomach of the snake. When the siege team formed by three Forsaken appears, you must give up looting and try to avoid fighting to delay time. But you only have 50 minutes left to stay, just enough to leave Hell before the Forsaken increase their forces. "
Until now, Ash has not been able to leave Hell freely, and must stay until the traces are exhausted. Therefore, Ash immediately stepped into Hell as soon as he recovered from his injuries, otherwise, as his traces accumulated more and more, and the time spent exploring Hell became longer and longer, his risk would become greater and greater.
Ash flew along the Golden River all the time, and soon saw a tall tower appear in front of him, but strangely, the tower was not built on either side of the Golden River, but directly on the Golden River.
Ash asked curiously: "Are all the demigod strongholds in Black Fall Hell built on rivers? Is it for the convenience of transfer? Or are there resources in the river?"
Death Maniac said casually: "You will understand if you fly down and look at the river water."
Ash flew down and hung above the Golden River. After observing for a moment, he hesitated and asked: "Flowing Golden River? "
At first he didn't think it was the Flowing Gold River, because he didn't feel the time power of the Flowing Gold River that could dissolve everything. But after getting closer, no matter how he looked at it, this river looked like the Flowing Gold River, except...
The Flowing Gold River here doesn't flow.
"Is a still Flowing Gold River considered a Flowing Gold River?" Si Kuang asked with a smile: "Is time that stops flowing considered time?"
"If you touch the river water here, you won't be washed away by time, but your consciousness will fall into still time for hundreds or thousands of years, depending on how many drops of river water you touch."
"This is not the Flowing Gold River, we generally call it the Hidden Gold River. You can think of it as a reservoir for the Flowing Gold River."
Ash was startled: "Reservoir?"
"When the Flowing Gold River outside overflows, it will store water here; when the Flowing Gold River outside dries up, it will call on the river water here. "Death Maniac said: "Although the flooding and drying up of the Flowing Gold River sounds a bit incredible, it was a very frequent natural phenomenon during the God War. You use a Flowing Gold River and I use a Flowing Gold River, and it will soon be used up... There was once a timeline where we exhausted all the tributaries of the Flowing Gold River in the Void Realm in order to fight Ouroboros, and even this Hidden Gold River dried up. The human world and the Void Realm were completely shut down, and only Hell and Heaven could barely operate. "
"Is it useful?"
"The world where time stops is like fried breadcrumbs for Ouroboros. You don't have to spit out bones when you eat it."
Ash glanced at the endless Hidden Gold River: "Then the demigods of the Black Hell are proficient in the time faction? After all, the time resources here are so rich-"
"Wrong, there are all kinds of resources here, but there are no time resources." Death Maniac shook his head: "Standing time is not time, and the stationary Hidden Gold River will not produce time resources."
"But because a lot of time is stored, the resource regeneration speed here is very fast. As for what resources will be produced, it depends on the popularity of magic in the outside world. But anyway, this place is more diverse than the Deep Blue Hell, so the Black Hell has always been the layer with the largest number of demigods and the most complex magic factions. "
When Ash entered the tower, he saw the purple transparent sculpture wonder in the central hall at first glance, which looked like a human body without color.
"The upper wonder "Exile". "Death Maniac glanced at it, paused for a long time, and then slowly said: "Exile the target into a pure soul form, unable to make any physical contact, and greatly increase all soul influences, whether good or bad. "
Hearing that it was a soul wonder, Ash quickly put the transparent sculpture into the soul heaven. Seeing this, Death Maniac curled his lips and snorted coldly: "It's a useless trash wonder. It's difficult to completely exile a demigod into a soul form. At most, it can exile a part of the body..."
"Hey, can that wonder Sword Princess be used?" Ash pretended to be curious and pointed to another dark green sculpture wonder in the tower and asked.
Death Maniac stared at him suspiciously, and Ash blinked his eyes with a sincere look.
"...That is the poison wonder "Poison Guard". It cannot be activated instantly. It takes ten seconds to cast it." Death Maniac introduced reluctantly: "This is not for personal use. When the base is invaded, everyone borrows it together to temporarily build a poisonous guard defense line. Except for the witch who can cast spells with her sister clones, no one else is suitable for this wonder."
"Go back and ask the witch if she wants it. "
Ash continued to search for supplies in the tower and found that only a small part of them were taken away. It was obvious that the magicians in the tower fled in a hurry and did not even have time to pack their luggage. It seemed that they were attacked by the Forgotten.
When they flew along the Golden River, Death Maniac suddenly said: "Are you really so..."
"Huh?"
"Forget it, it's nothing."
Ash glanced at her, thought for a while and said: "I know you are not dissatisfied with my allocation of resources to Vichy. Last time when I found the Soul Wonder in the Desolate Hell, you didn't care that I gave the wonder to Vichy."
"The person you are dissatisfied with is not Vichy, but me."
"So if you have any opinions, just say it to me, at least I won't have any opinions."
Death Maniac knocked a cigarette out of the cigarette box, held it in his mouth and said: "Is that kind of person so worthy of your protection?"
Ash snapped his fingers, a cluster of flames popped out of his fingertips, and took the initiative to light a cigarette for his sister.
"I know who she is." He said calmly: "But now she is mine. ”
At this time, the next water palace had appeared in front of them. Ash landed and asked: "You haven't answered why these demigod settlements are all on the water. Is it because it is convenient to plunder resources?"
Death Maniac sat on the railing with his legs up, smoking with a melancholy expression. After a while, he said: "No, it is to prevent the flood."
Ash: "Flood?"
"The Golden River is still most of the time, but once it moves, it is a flood that will overturn the world until the Black Hell is submerged." Death Maniac said: "No prophet can accurately predict when the flood will break out. Two floods may be separated by a hundred years or three days. So a long time ago, the Black Demigod artificially controlled the flood, releasing it about once every five hundred years. At that time, all the demigods would evacuate to the upper and lower levels, and the rest of the time, they would rely on the demigod settlements to suppress the Golden River. "
"The Black Hell is the most unfriendly place for the lone wolf. All the resources here are monopolized by the demigod forces. The lone wolf will be surrounded and suppressed if he takes a bite. This is because in order to suppress the Flowing Gold River, the Black Demigods must guard and reinforce the nodes of the Hidden Gold River day and night. If they are not careful, it will be a disaster of overturning, and it will waste their time and energy. The risk is extremely high and the cost is not small. If there is no corresponding benefit, no one is willing to do it. "
Ash nodded: "Yes, in order to fight against natural disasters, everyone must make sacrifices and unite. Unity means organization, and organization means rules. Lone wolves who refuse to abide by the rules will inevitably infringe on the rights and interests of other people who are willing to sacrifice... Since the flood is released every five hundred years, there should be a decision-making body in the Black Hell?"
"The Black Council." Death Maniac said: "It's a very boring organization, a group of demigods are working in it... It is worth mentioning that many people you know have served as the chairman of the Black Council."
"Many people I know?"
"Stars, Omniscience, Infernal Affairs, Fantasy, Blood Moon... Senluo has never been one, because she is in the same period as Omniscience, and she can't compete with the prophecy demigod Omniscience." Death Maniac sneered: "As the largest demigod alliance in hell, which ambitious person can bear not to get involved? "
Ash suddenly found it interesting. He knew that these gods had served as presidents of the Black Council thousands of years ago, and there must be hundreds or thousands of years between them. But when he thought that they had all served in the same position, Ash had a sense of déjà vu that "famous alumni such as Fanxing had served as student union presidents."
He suddenly realized something: "What about you?"
Death Maniac exhaled a round of smoke rings and said unhappily: "The Viewer was also the president, but his term was only a few months because he swept away half of the Black Council's resources and ran away."
"Hey, then-"
"Don't ask, I'm not interested in talking to you about his great achievements!"
"No," Ash pointed to the back and said: "I want to ask if today happens to be a day that only occurs once every five hundred years?"
Death Maniac turned his head and saw the golden torrent sweeping in from a far distance. The huge cave world was completely filled. What's more amazing is that although there was a flood in the distance, the Golden River next to Ash and Death Maniac was still as quiet as a mirror, without any ripples!
An hour after arriving at the third level of hell, they saw the Black Fall Flood that occurs once every five hundred years. It was totally worth the money.
"Impossible!" Death Maniac shook his head and muttered, "You are still far away from the flood at this time, how is it possible?"
"So it was a sudden eruption?"
"Impossible, a sudden eruption would mean the whole river is boiling, it won't be like this... I understand!"
Death Maniac soared into the air, but she did not look at the direction of the flood, but looked at the other end of the Golden River: "This is the Black Council unlocking the nodes of the Golden River one by one, actively triggering a flood, for only one reason - they want to use the flood to wipe out the Forgotten Legion! No one can survive the flood, and the Forgotten are no exception!"
"This is the front line of Ouroboros and the Six Hells, and the Black Demigod is fighting in front!"
"The third hell has not fallen yet!"
