Chapter 689 Meeting of the Gods

Duanmu Huai looked at the figures in front of him and looked very calm. Of course he knew who these people were and why they were here.

"Hello, gods of Faerûn."

Duanmuhuai nodded to the figures in front of him as a greeting.

"If possible, I would also like to invite you all to a grand banquet, but unfortunately, your time in the main plane is limited, so we'll get to the point."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai spread his hands.

"You may wonder why I appear here, so I will tell you the answer directly. To put it simply, some ancient evil gods are awakening, and they have discovered this world. As the vanguard against these evil gods, the Tribunal has will come here.”

"The ancient evil god?"

A majestic and mature paladin with white beard and hair who had lost his right hand had a slightly condensed expression.

"How old?"

"Believe me, they existed before your world was born. Even from a certain perspective, they are one of the roots of the existence of this world. Their power is far older and more powerful than you, which is not nice to say. of………"

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai glanced at the squirming shadows on the ground.

"Even AO is just a baby in front of them. Everyone... haha, you understand."

"So, you want to tell us that an ancient evil god has set his sights on our world?"

A middle-aged, wealthy woman holding a sickle blinked and stared at Duanmuhuai.

"Not one, there are four in total. Fortunately, because of the crystal wall, they have not found a way to enter this world yet. But with the power of those evil gods, now that they have discovered this world, it is only time to invade this world question."

"So, you called us here to seek allies?"

A girl as thin as a ghost, with long hair and pupils as dark as night, and wearing a moonlight gauze robe asked softly.

"No, although according to legends or fairy tales, everyone should unite at this time to form an offensive and defensive alliance. But an alliance with evil intentions is meaningless to me. I am just telling you about the terror and terror of these evil gods, and how the Tribunal will deal with them. "As for them, whether you want to form an alliance to watch each other, or each of you to go it alone, that is your own choice, and the Tribunal will not force you to do anything."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai spread his hands.

"All I can say is that this Lost Land is the frontline fortress of the Tribunal against the Evil God. When the Evil God's minions break through the crystal wall and enter this planet, this place will become the first line of defense and battlefield. The Tribunal will not hesitate to Protect humanity at all costs and eliminate the evil god and his minions."

After saying this, Duanmu Huai also looked solemn.

"What I hate the most are those idiots who only half-talk their words, and those idiots who always treat gossip as secrets. So next, I will tell you all the information about the evil god in the simplest and clearest way possible. As for what you should do It's your business to use this information."

Then, Duanmu Huai explained the situation about the evil gods to the incarnations of the gods as quickly as possible, how they were born, how they existed, and how they affected and destroyed the world.

After listening to Duanmu Huai's narration, the incarnations of the gods all looked serious.

"In other words...these ancient evil gods...are the incarnation of the will of all living things in the world?"

The beautiful goddess with long bright red hair and a translucent gauze also suppressed the smile on her face at this moment, looking uneasy.

"That's right."

Duanmuhuai nodded.

"They each represent the duality of all creatures in the world. The treacherous is a cunning and cruel conspirator, but it also represents progress, hope and change. Without it, there would be no tricks, and no one can be saved from it. Nothing will ever get done, everything will come to an eternal standstill."

"this……………"

Mystra frowned slightly and remained silent.

"The Corruption is an ugly, corrupt, foul-smelling idiot. It cycles between eternal life and death, representing stagnation, an eternal cycle of decay and rebirth. But it also represents restoration, awakening and Unite in the face of unsettling necessity. Without it there would be no continuity, no security, no birth and death. All corruption and rebirth are part of life, and therefore the taint of corruption is also nature and life. of gods.”

"……………………"

Shantia stared at the sickle in his hand and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Rage of Cruelty is a heartless, brainless, hateful maniac who only knows killing all day long, but it also represents another concept - survival of the fittest. Strength and skill are what Cruel Fury values ​​most. At the same time, it also It represents justice, revenge and glory, so violent anger will never play any tricks. It will only fool you in the face, so confusing that even your mother can't recognize it. Without it, there would be no honesty and resistance. The power of evil.”

"...I just can't imagine it."

Taylor sighed softly and shook his head.

"The evil of obsession is a cruel demon who likes torture. It likes to break all beliefs and then make them suffer. But it also represents happiness, freedom, joy and pleasure. Without it, there can be no happiness, and there will be no sadness to make you understand what happiness is."

"It's just a terrible nightmare."

Shuna closed her eyes, looking like she couldn't bear to look directly.

"So, you all know it."

Duanmu Huai spread his hands.

"These ancient evil gods are not as simple as you think. This is not a contest between justice and evil, light and darkness. It is not that the beliefs you represent are their opposites. On the contrary, the beliefs you uphold are also part of the shaping and source of their power."

"So, how do we defeat them?"

Su Lun looked uneasy.

"According to what you said, they are almost impossible to defeat."

"The possibility of them being defeated is small, but not zero."

Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"But the easiest way to defeat them is to take precautions in advance, which is why I called you all together. It is not easy for them to interfere with the real world. First, they have to blur the barrier between the subspace and the real world, and then they can interfere with this world. They have tried it once before, and the plague in Neverwinter was one of them. I think some of you have heard the reports from your believers."

Tyr nodded.

"Indeed, it was a terrible plague, and the betrayal of Heim's believers was really unexpected..."

"I don't think it's that unexpected."

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.

"Don't be afraid of god-like opponents, just be afraid of pig-like teammates. Now I think you should have understood the danger of these evil gods. Their essence is also hidden in your doctrines. In other words, your believers may also be bewitched by evil gods because of their pursuit of fanatical beliefs, and then become evil gods' lackeys like that idiot Deszel."

Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai looked at Shu Na.

"Especially you, Miss Shu Na, I know your believers always like to hold some unobstructed meetings in the name of love and beauty to experience joy. I have to remind you that doing so will easily attract the attention of the evil of obsession. Well... I remember there was a guy who liked love and beauty like you, and was elegant and pursued perfection. Later, he was corrupted by the evil of obsession and has now become a pervert who likes to be blasted with chainsaws and axes, claiming to explore the limits of sensory pleasure to achieve self-enlightenment..."

"…………………………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Shu Na's face turned pale.

"In addition, I also hope that you can expand your influence as much as possible and attract more believers-the power of the Chaos Evil God mostly comes from the soul. If the souls killed by them do not go to the country of their own belief in the gods, they will be taken away by the evil gods."

"Then what about those non-believers?"

At this time, another warrior who had been silent beside him suddenly asked, and Duanmu Huai glanced at him and snapped his fingers.

"I will find time to talk to Kelemvor. The Wall of the Faithless will also become the target of the Chaos Gods. The Inquisition will certainly not let them succeed. If it doesn't work, it is better to take all the souls of the Faithless to the Inquisition and burn them than to be corrupted and become the running dogs of Chaos."

"In that case, why can't we purify those ancient gods?"

At this time, Lashanda asked.

"According to you, these evil gods are not only evil, they also have a kind and beautiful side. As long as we can bring this side out... "

"It is possible in theory, but impossible in fact."

Duanmu Huai spread his hands.

"I have already said that the large amount of negative emotions that make up these evil gods comes from the ancient war that lasted for millions of years. The number of people who died in that war exceeded the total number of lives on the planet Toril. Do you think you have this ability?"

"……………………"

No one spoke, perhaps they had already thought of the answer.

After all, they have not been gods for a long time. Compared with the entire universe, they are just newborns.

"Of course, I'm not just talking to you guys."

Duanmu Huai glanced at the dark shadows shaking below again.

"I said, this is not a war between justice and evil, light and darkness. The evil gods are fair. They will corrupt everything, distort everything, and erode everything. They will turn you into something you can't imagine. Of course, if any of you like challenges and excitement, you can try it. I guarantee that our Inquisition will come to your door the next moment."

"So, is this the reason why you eliminated Rose before?"

"Oh, that's not the case. Rose is simply a threat to humans."

Faced with Tyr's question, Duanmu Huai gave a faint answer.

"……………………………………"

"This is the purpose of my summoning you."

Duanmu Huai looked at the time, then he looked at the gods in front of him again and spoke.

"I have explained the goal of the Tribunal, the purpose of coming here, the threats of the evil gods, and the style of our Tribunal. As for what you plan to do, it is your own business. The Tribunal does not intend to give guidelines. Of course, if you are eager to gain more experience in fighting against evil gods, you can come to me at any time. But I hope you will not use various methods to interfere with the actions of the Tribunal. After all, the principles and policies of the Tribunal are very clear. Anyone who interferes with our actions will be regarded as a potential heretic and evil god believer and will be eliminated."

Having said this, Duanmu Huai sat back in his chair.

"Then, stop here, adjourn."

The next moment, the light dissipated, and the figures in the light that were originally here disappeared.

Only on the ground in front of Duanmu Huai, there were dozens of priests and high-level priests lying in a mess.

"Hey...I forgot to tell them to pick up the garbage before leaving. It seems that the quality of the gods of Furen needs to be improved."

Duanmu Huai shook his head helplessly, and then gave an order.

"Send these guys out."
