Chapter 567 Angels and Descending Gods (7K)
Would anyone refuse wine offered by an angel?
If you ask the guests in the Behemoth Toe Tavern one by one, I am afraid that 90% of them will not be able to refuse, and the remaining 10%, except for the random and evil demons, have been hanging around here all year round. The old man.
After all, angels are rare indeed.
It's not that angels are rare in the multiverse. Such messengers of God are still very common in the kingdoms of various gods. However, angels rarely appear outside the kingdom of God. Once they appear, they are usually for execution. The will of the gods.
Varro was right, no angel would go to a tavern and make drinks for a group of filthy beings. Even fallen angels would not be so bored.
Facing the malicious gazes of various races in the tavern, Tang Sen squinted his eyes and looked at the angel in front of him.
He was sure that he had no communication with this angel, and he clearly didn't look good enough to stand out from the other guests in the tavern.
Tang Sen didn't believe that the other party was directly attracted to him because of his charm like a firefly in the dark, so he took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him.
And this face of his appeared for the first time in Silver Star Port.
So, there aren't many possibilities left.
Or, the other party has some plot against you and is seeking benefits.
The only special thing about him, apart from those that could never be seen by others, was his divinity. And in front of him was an angel with divine power who could see the existence of divinity.
However, Tang Sen thinks this possibility is unlikely.
After all, divinity has no attributes, and it is impossible for others to identify whether it is an envoy of a certain god, a chosen one, or an incarnation.
There is no benefit to dealing with yourself, and you may get into trouble all over.
Or, the other party recognized him.
His information has never spread out of Faerûn, let alone the astral plane. Moreover, after the establishment of Neverwinter, everything about himself has been distorted. Therefore, the only people who can recognize him are One possibility is that it is related to the culprit who hid his information.
"Isn't this luck a bit too bad?"
Tang Sen felt slightly bitter in his heart.
He believed that those who dared to covet the city of Neverwinter were definitely gods with powerful divine power, and there were very few in the entire multiverse. However, even gods with powerful divine power could not extend their tentacles to every corner of the multiverse.
Moreover, Tang Sen's method of confirming the prophecy is ineffective for him. The person of the god is far from enough to see his past and future.
"Yes. After all, Silver Star Harbor is connected to Sigil City, and Sigil City is almost the place with the richest information circulation in the multiverse. It is impossible for that god to have spies in every plane of the multiverse. If he wants to find me, In addition to Faerûn, it is the best choice to arrange your own divine envoys and believers with Sigil as the center."
"This can also explain why an angel would mix drinks in a place like the Toe of the Beast. After all, the tavern is the most well-informed place."
The angel holding the wine in front of him would naturally not know that. In a short period of time, Tang Sen had determined that this guess was the most likely. There might be other possibilities, but Tang Sen would not gamble.
Tang Sen remained calm on the surface and just said: "Sorry, I don't like demons."
The smile on the angel's face faded slightly, but it soon bloomed again, and he drank the devil's fear in his hand.
Filthy black mist appeared on her face, and even her glowing eyes dimmed a bit because they were shrouded in black mist at this moment, but soon these visions disappeared, and the angel let out a long breath, and the air The screams of the devil rang out, and she returned to her radiant and dazzling appearance.
"That's such a pity." She said to Tang Sen: "Ordinary wine cannot entertain distinguished guests like you."
"Why don't you, distinguished guest, come with me to the wine cellar? I guarantee that you will be surprised by the collection of giant beast's toes."
Her tone was very friendly, and she leaned forward a little, her bulging upper body standing out among the feathery clothes: "Of course, if you are interested, Behemoth Toes also provides other services."
"Hey, is this guy a distinguished guest?" The devil had drank several cups of Devil's Fear beside him, and his whole body was filled with the devil's wail. He was obviously extremely dissatisfied with the angel's attitude, and said: "You have never treated me with this attitude. Pass me?"
He squinted at Tang Sen unhappily: "Do you like this guy? Would you be sad if he turned into a corpse?"
He was obviously provoking, but Tang Sen ignored it. He directly expanded the space of the surgical fruit to the maximum. The next moment, he, Varo and Xue Xue had disappeared into the tavern.
Seeing this scene, the angel's expression suddenly changed.
"What a cautious man!"
She suddenly spread her wings and flew out from the bar, her eyes radiating dazzling light, as if she was talking to an unknown existence:
"I didn't lie to him!"
"The prey ran away in shock!"
Tang Sen had already appeared on the street of Silver Star Port. He turned around and looked in the direction of the Behemoth's Toe Tavern. He saw a large group of people in full gear rushing towards that direction, and the towering mage in Silver Star Port The tower also lit up at this time, and the waves of magic enveloped the entire city.
"As expected."
Tang Sen's face completely darkened.
If in the Behemoth Toe Tavern, the probability of his guess was only 70%, now it is basically as high as 99%.
"This place can no longer stay."
Obviously, the plan to inquire about some information in Silver Star Port in advance has been scrapped, and now we must leave here as soon as possible.
"The portal to Sigil!"
Tang Sen quickly pulled over a passerby without any intention of asking. The magic power had directly invaded the other person's mind and asked for the information he wanted.
Fortunately, this person is very weak, and almost everyone in Silver Star Port knows the portal to Sigil City.
As one of the main profit-making methods of Silver Star Port, the teleportation gate is located in the lower square of the city. Everyone who wants to enter Sigil City through the teleportation gate only needs to pay a teleportation fee of two thousand gold coins——
Although this portal was not set up in Silver Star Port, but one of the portals in the City of Ten Thousand Gates, Ms. Pain obviously wouldn't care if someone relied on this to make profits.
In this little time delay, the positions of Tang Sen and the others have been retrieved by the mage tower and exposed. In the mid-air, countless figures flew towards the three of them.
"Walk!"
Tang Sen uttered a word, drew a long sword directly from the void, and swept towards those who were attacking.
The power of the surgical fruit accurately acted on everyone, and countless stumps and broken arms suddenly fell down in mid-air. This was the first time that Tang Sen used the power of the surgical fruit with all his strength. With the addition of legendary level physical fitness, When completed, the effect is very impressive.
However, not everyone lost their fighting power under this blow.
In the rain of broken limbs, five or six figures rushed over, including the angel in the toes of the giant beast.
Before the person arrived, the spell had already struck, and everything around him was distorted. Whether it was matter or space, it was shrinking towards the sky, forming an insurmountable cage.
This is obviously some legendary spell.
But before the spell succeeded, Tang Sen's figure had disappeared and appeared in the square of Silver Star Port.
He had already seen the portal, and many adventurers were lining up to enter the portal one after another.
"Fortunately, I caught up!" Tang Sen was not worried about the controller of Silver Star Port closing the portal. Of course they couldn't do this, but if they had made arrangements at the portal in advance, they would be in trouble.
He was about to move into the portal again when suddenly, an angry and loud voice came from the sky: "Blocked!"
The light from the Mage Tower completely enveloped the entire city, and Tang Sen suddenly found that his transfer had failed.
Suddenly, he looked towards the direction of the mage tower and saw a spellcaster floating above the spire of the mage tower. The magic of the mage tower was invoked by the wand in his hand. The power of this magic directly blocked the entire city, so that any spatial teleportation ability has lost its effect.
This is why spell casters always hope to have a mage tower. Within the scope of their own mage tower, spell casters can even leapfrog and fight, and this mage himself is also an extremely terrifying existence.
"The response was too quick."
Tang Sen's teeth were a little sore. Even though he was always used to thinking carefully about everything, there was no way he could predict such a small chance of bad luck happening.
Fortunately, Tang Sen was confident that the spellcaster's blockade could not block the abyss gate in his mind space. The worst he could do was return to the abyss and find other ways to get to Faerun.
Of course, now that we have reached this point, it is impossible for Tang Sen to give up directly.
The few people who had been thrown away just now were chasing after them again. Angel took the lead, holding a long luminous sword in his hand and waving it towards Tang Sen from a distance.
Without the convenient movement ability of the surgical fruit, Tang Sen made a thought and a thunderous dragon roar resounded throughout the Silver Star City.
The huge black dragon appeared directly above Tang Sen's head, and a thunder and lightning mixed with flames breathed out from his mouth, meeting the angel's slash.
"I am a natural disaster!"
The situation was urgent. Smaug shortened his appearance lines as much as possible, and then his huge body suddenly appeared in a flash. In this sealed space, he actually teleported to the mage tower and was hit by a thick thunder pillar. To the caster on the mage tower.
With Smaug's combat wisdom, he can naturally tell who is the most important to deal with.
However, the thunder pillar that penetrated the sky and the earth was completely blocked by an invisible barrier a few meters close to the caster's head. The caster glanced at Smaug and waved the staff in his hand.
The mage tower suddenly lit up with a more dazzling light, and Smaug's body was torn into countless pieces at this moment.
The fragments turned into thunder and lightning in the next moment, condensing into the figure of Smaug in the distance.
"It's a tough idea!" He said in a rude way: "I almost fell down here."
Compared to these strong men who have been entrenched in the star world for many years, Smaug is only a newcomer to the legendary strength, which is indeed not impressive.
Tang Sen's actions were also somewhat frustrated. Several strong men who were chasing him had discovered Tang Sen's intention to pass through the portal, and they all stood guard in front of the portal.
If in Faerun, they are almost all top-notch experts, even if it is just one of them, with the current Tang Sen, even if he has many means, he can only protect himself, let alone break through the siege.
Varro was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he didn't even realize what was happening.
Weren't everyone still in the tavern just now? Wasn't the angel planning to treat Mr. Tang to a drink?
Varro was even thinking about whether to persuade the angel to stay away from such a filthy place, especially those devils and devils. As an angel's duty, he should raise his weapons and uphold the dignity of justice, right?
But in the blink of an eye, he had appeared on the street, and then, the entire Silver Star Port seemed to be going crazy and began to besiege him.
What happened to the dragon? Why did a black dragon that could summon thunder and lightning suddenly appear? Isn't the black dragon's breath acid?
Moreover, why are angels fighting side by side with those evil races, when the enemy is still themselves!
Too many questions lingered in Varo's mind, but he could at least see that the current situation was probably very bad. Although Mr. Tang's methods were appalling, he destroyed most of the opponent's combat power with just a swing of his sword, but the remaining It was obviously very difficult for Mr. Tang to deal with the people below.
Not to mention the guy who controls the mage tower.
At this time, a calm voice suddenly came from the side: "Tang Sen, can I take action?"
That's Xue Xue.
As always, she always followed Tang Sen and never interfered.
She's not very good at fighting.
"Now is the time I need you!" Tang Sen said quickly: "Do you remember what I just said?"
"Just use the magic I'm good at to blast it over." Xue Xue nodded.
Then, Tang Sen felt that the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
No, it wasn't quiet, but everything came to a standstill.
Whether it was the ferocious expressions on the enemies' faces, the colorful spell effects, or even the light emitted by the mage tower, they all entered complete stillness.
Time in Silver Star Harbor has stopped.
Only Varro and Tang Sen can move freely in this stopped time.
"The nine-ring time stop has no such effect."
Tang Sen was a little horrified. You must know that in the entire Silver Star Port, even the number of legendary powerhouses is probably above three digits. Just a spell can kill so many legendary powerhouses, and even the suppressed one. Are all the mage tower controllers on the entire island limited to a fixed period of time?
However, Xue Xue's actions were not over yet.
She began to chant.
The powerful spell that stagnated the Silver Star Harbor just now was cast instantly by Xue Xue.
Tang Sen couldn't imagine what level of spell Xue Xue was preparing to release now, but there was no doubt that she listened to her words and directly used the spell she was best at to crush him.
So Xue Xue crushed him.
Inexplicable fluctuations reverberated throughout the Silver Star Port, and Tang Sen suddenly discovered that the enemies in front of him were aging rapidly. No, not only the enemies in front of him, but also everyone in the Silver Star Port.
"Stop! Stop!"
Varro also discovered this, and he suddenly shouted in horror: "You are killing everyone!"
Xue Xue glanced at him doubtfully: "Is there any problem?"
She stopped singing, but she didn't suffer any backlash from the sudden interruption of the spell. The most outrageous thing was that the effect of the spell didn't disappear at all.
"Many people here are innocent!" Varro shouted: "They don't even know what happened, and they are about to lose their lives in this stagnant time. This is so evil!"
"Really?" Xue Xue tilted his head: "But, isn't that what fighting is like?"
"Crush it with all your strength!"
She looked at Tang Sen with doubtful eyes.
"Ahem -" Tang Sen nodded: "This is indeed how fighting is."
It was hard for him to say, and he didn't expect that Xue Xue could cause such a big noise.
But think about it, Xue Xue is definitely best at time-based spells, and her understanding of time - I am afraid that except for the gods who master the priesthood of time and the time dragon itself, no one understands time better than Xue Xue People.
She has been studying in the turbulent environment of time for too many years.
And with such a profound understanding, the time spells she released were naturally impossible to measure by ordinary standards.
Tang Sen didn't care much whether the other people in Silver Star Port died or not, but he stared at the enemies blocking the portal in front of him and said, "The problem is, these people don't seem to be affected by this spell."
Everyone is aging, but the angel is still extremely beautiful, and so are the other enemies.
These guys have no lifespan limit. Under the erosion of time, they actually show an eternal attitude.
This is the power of the gods.
"I understand." Xue Xue interrupted the spell, "Then, I will throw them into the future?"
"Can you do such a thing?" Tang Sen was stunned.
This kind of spell does not exist at all. It already belongs to the power of the Time Dragon. Even with divine power, if there is no time priesthood, there is no way to play with time like this.
"There is no way to throw it as far as the Time Dragon, but within one minute -" Xue Xue said seriously: "I haven't tried it yet, but in theory, if you can pay the price of enough life, it should be possible Made it happen.”
The price of life. This thing has no meaning to the Lich.
No, it just doesn't make sense for a weird lich like Xue Xue who doesn't need to sacrifice to the life box every once in a while. Other lichs, or ordinary people, may just let themselves die of old age if they use this spell.
"That's enough!" Tang Sen said firmly.
Not to mention a minute, even a few seconds was enough for Tang Sen to enter the portal directly.
He suddenly discovered that the lich he abducted was more valuable than he imagined!
Not even inferior to violet!
The knowledge she has studied about time can do much better than she expected.
Xue Xue then started singing again.
This spell obviously requires longer preparation time, but under the effect of such a powerful time-stopping spell, for the person who is frozen, everything only happens in an instant.
At this time, Tang Sen suddenly saw that the angel's body, frozen in time, suddenly began to make strange movements.
The light in her eyes is gradually getting brighter, and there is a faint singing voice singing in the stagnant time.
Such singing seemed to affect other people, causing the eyes of several other enemies to begin to glow.
Their bodies began to dry up quickly.
It's not the kind of dryness that exhausts one's lifespan, but more like being robbed of all the essence of spirit and life by a certain being.
And because of their dryness, the echoing song grew louder and louder.
No matter how slow Tang Sen's reaction was, he knew something was going to happen.
Looking at this situation, there is a higher-level being cracking Xue Xue's spell.
No, not cracking, but coming?
Tang Sen was horrified to realize this problem. There is no doubt that the unknown god is extremely eager for Neverwinter City, which also means that he is extremely coveted for himself. With such a mentality, his coming in person is not considered What a surprise.
This is not the main material plane, but the star realm. A powerful god can appear anywhere he knows in a single thought.
Of course, the gods' bodies will not leave their own kingdom. They prefer to use incarnation, which is the scene in front of them, to create a powerful incarnation through the active or passive sacrifices of believers and divine envoys.
If it wasn't for the time stop, I'm afraid I would have seen the opponent's true appearance - at least the true appearance of the fighting incarnation.
But even Xue Xue's time-stopping domain can't completely block the opponent's arrival. The divine power is eroding the stagnant time, making time only open to his arrival.
Tang Sen glanced at Xue Xue, who was still singing.
You probably need to be prepared.
Tang Sen's consciousness communicates with the mind space. Not surprisingly, the effect of stopping time cannot limit the mind space at all. He can take out the Gate of the Abyss at any time.
Smaug was also taken back.
This guy didn't study hard during this period and was beaten violently as soon as he came out.
"No, I have researched a new trick!" Smaug shouted aggrievedly in the mind space: "Master, you didn't give me a chance to use it. Besides, how could I challenge such a difficult event from the beginning?"
"There is motivation only when there are challenges." Tang Sen said calmly: "If you can't keep up with me, I'm afraid you will have to stay in the mind space."
These words made Smaug tremble all over.
Tang Sen stopped paying attention to him and regained consciousness.
At this time, an illusory figure began to appear in the mid-air. Except for the angel, the other believers had almost turned into dry skins.
The incarnation of the god is coming.
Xue Xue naturally noticed this. The magic power fluctuations around her body became more and more intense, and she frowned.
After all, she had never cast this spell before, so the first release was more difficult than she expected.
Varro stared at the incarnation that was about to take shape, and was extremely horrified. In this situation, even he did not dare to interrupt anymore.
Seeing that the facial features of the avatar had begun to become clearer, Tang Sen sighed and directly summoned the Gate of the Abyss: "It seems -"
"Okay!" Xue Xue's singing suddenly stopped.
In a place that no one can perceive, a vortex of time has formed, sucking angels and believers directly into it.
What the three people could see was that the angels and believers disappeared without any call.
Together with the incarnation of that god - He has not yet fully arrived and is still connected to them. Naturally, he is also swept into the future along with the vortex of time.
"It was more difficult than I imagined. I only succeeded in moving them back for ten seconds." Xue Xue said.
"It's already very powerful." Tang Sen took a deep breath and retracted the Gate of the Abyss: "With the power of a mortal, he jumped out of the river of time, and even pulled others to jump out of the river of time -"
"No, it's not that exaggerated." Xue Xue shook his head: "Only the Time Dragon can jump out of the river of time. What I do is just stay in the river of time and try to affect the river of time, such as stopping time. It's just stopping the flow of time in this area, and with the spell just now, I just took away ten seconds of their time. This is different."
"If I can jump out of the river of time, it means that I can also travel to the future or the past, but this is impossible. Magic can never do this, because the goddess of magic does not have the priesthood of time."
When discussing time, Xue Xue rarely said a long paragraph.
"Let's leave this kind of academic discussion to later, Xue Xue." Tang Sen said: "I think I would be willing to spend a lot of time studying with you slowly."
"As for now, it's time for us to get out of this place."
He led the two of them to the portal quickly. Because time stopped, even the magical light of the portal was frozen.
This means there is no way to pass through the portal while time is stopped.
Fortunately, the biggest threat has been eliminated.
Tang Sen glanced at Xue Xue, who understood and lifted the time-stopping spell.
Time started to flow again, and in an instant, the surrounding sounds were heard by the three of them again, but Tang Sen no longer dared to stay any longer. In the chaos, he got directly into the portal.
At that moment, he turned his head and looked at the Silver Star Harbor, his eyes narrowed into a thin line.
"I've always been the one to cheat on others. Wait, this is not over, Goddess."
The three figures disappeared into the light of the portal.
Ten seconds later, several figures suddenly appeared around the portal.
Several withered corpses fell to the ground, and a body shrouded in light was suspended in the air.
"Ran?"
He looked at the portal leading to Sigil City, fearfully moved away, and then fell into rage.
The power of the gods enveloped the entire Silver Star Harbor, and everything in the Silver Star Harbor was instantly annihilated.
"You can't run away from Tang Sen"
"Next time. You won't get another chance."
