Chapter 159

To this end, Apep can try any way to gain power.

And the Red King is also a crazy guy.

A 'traitor' and a 'madman', what good things can happen if they come together?

"Red King... He once traveled deep into the world, and seemed to be looking for something." The Flower Goddess suddenly said. Although she seemed to be enjoying the banquet, she was actually paying attention to the Great Mercy Tree King. She was as smart as she was. I feel that the timing of the arrival of the Tree King is too strange.

Now when it comes to the matter of the Red King, it is understandable.

"My people have seen a corner of his search for traces. Under the Red King's palace, the ever-expanding ruins of civilization also show that the Red King has indeed been thirsting for power. No matter what he wants to use this power to do, It will definitely affect Shurima in the future.”

"Malikata is right." The Great Ci Tree King nodded slightly, "There are many unusual things in this world. Some are allowed by the rules of the world, and some are beyond the limits of the rules. But the Red King tried his best to find It must not be that simple.”

Flower God said: "The ancient existence in that forest also has a trespassing heart."

King Daci Shu was surprised: "You also know Him?"

"When the full moon fell into the pool, I passed by the edge, but was warned by the will. He was hostile to me... no, to all the beings in the sky."

"If this is the case, then we should be more careful."

The two women discussed seriously.

Su Chen picked up the wine glass and took a pleasant sip with a smile. He found that even looking at the two people quietly, he found it pleasing to the eye. As the saying goes, everyone gets drunk without wine. He didn't believe it before, but now he believes it.

"Why are you laughing?" The flower god turned around and saw Su Chen holding his chin comfortably, and said angrily: "We are thinking about the future of Shurima, so you should be a little anxious."

King Daci Shu smiled and said, "I'm afraid Azir already knows what's going on."

Su Chen shook his head: "There are so many things that can be predicted. All we can do is do our best."

Of course he understood the considerations of the two women, and he even knew more, but he was not sure what agreement the Red King had reached with Apep, or whether he just went there and was kicked out.

And Su Chen couldn't mention the taboo at will.

Perhaps as smart as the Great Merciful Tree King, as the incarnation of the World Tree's will, she has already felt something, but once the word "taboo" is spoken, the situation will be different.

If the Taboo infests the desert, Shurima, innocent or not, will not be spared.

The Goddess of Flowers cupped his cheek and turned to look at the singing and dancing at the banquet. His bright jewel-like eyes were filled with the light of thought. The King of the Great Merciful Tree lowered his eyes and stared at the ripples in the wine glass, the flowers in the mirror, the moon in the water, and the destruction. The hope in life is by no means so easily contaminated.

[The banquet lasted for three days, and the news of the alliance between the Daci Tree King also spread to every corner of Sumeru along with the conveyance of rivers, mountains, birds and beasts. The unwilling demon still persisted with a faint hope, and the wise man could either leave, Or surrender. 】

[In front of the magnificent palace, a huge statue of the emperor stands tall. Shurima warriors gather here. Looking around, the place where the sun shines is full of light reflected by the silver armor. Nasus stands at the front, Renekton , Asna followed closely. 】

[Everyone’s eyes are focused on the figure in front of the statue. 】

[‘The battle has begun. ’ You said to everyone, and also declared to the forces of this land that Shurima’s cavalry will ruthlessly trample every inch of the land. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. 】

[You release the power of the runes and integrate it into the talent of Shurima's glory. The light scatters on these warriors, turning into pure and majestic blessing power. 】

['My soldiers, move forward! ’]

Da da da da da da!

The neat silver armor stepped out of the gate of the royal city. The ferocious aura of the iron pagodas was like the red devils rendered in hell. The war horses transformed by the Zhenling neighed. With such momentum, even the two gods, the Daci Tree King and the Flower God, were moved. In amazement.

"This is enough power to break gold and stone." King Daci Shu praised.

[The Shurima army goes on an expedition again. You ask the Flower Goddess to help garrison the royal city, and then head to the northern forest under the leadership of the Great Merciful Tree King. 】

[Today’s Daci Tree King has not become a grass god, but her power is integrated with the forest. With her to negotiate with Apep, maybe the situation will be better. 】

[When you came to the forest, you encountered resistance from the will of the forest as expected. Countless vines and thorns piled up at the entrance. Although they did not pose a threat to you, this shows that Apep does not welcome your arrival. . 】

['Great ancient will, we have no ill intentions. ’ Daci Shuwang said, and at the same time released his power, trying to blend into the forest and communicate with it. 】

[But then a gust of wind passed by, and the power of all things in the forest surged, exuding obvious malice. 】

[‘Leave here, the tree king who pretends to be wise, the master of the yellow sand, you are not welcome here. ’ A low voice came from the forest. 】

"Apepu, you are hiding here and claiming to be king. Do you think this is your territory?" Su Chen sneered, "There will only be one king in Sumeru in the end. If you refuse to communicate, when the kingdom's cavalry arrives here, this forest will be destroyed." It will also turn into a sea of ​​fire. I hope you can still be so leisurely."

Roar!

A strong wind swept through.

The wind pressed against the branches, forming waves that were visible to the naked eye. Above the forest, a powerful will descended and transformed into the huge figure of the emerald dragon.

"Arrogant intruder, you should know what you are talking about?" Apep asked angrily.

Although he was surprised that Su Chen knew his name, as a powerful dragon clan originally born in Teyvat, for him, Sumeru was his own territory, and all demons, including Su Chen, were intruders.

Apep was angry that the invaders had established order in their own territory, but he was unable to change the status quo.

But he didn't like any of these demons.

The Daci Tree King also looked at Su Chen in surprise. The latter's temperament was by no means arrogant. Why did he want to anger this green dragon for no reason?

Apep... King Daci Shu felt the powerful power from ancient times from the other party.

What she didn't know was that Apep was a proud and arrogant Grass Dragon. As one of the only dragon kings left in Teyvat, it was useless to be kind to him. In fact, this kind of arrogance is closer to tsundere to a certain extent... If Su Chen remembers correctly, Apep accepted Nasida's help in the end in the game.

"I know very well, do you want me to repeat it again?" Su Chen said lightly, "Apepu, the king of the downtrodden era, whether you admit it or not, now Xumi, I have the ability to destroy this forest, as long as I I do. But I don’t intend to do that. I have no interest in the throne given by the heavens. I am here just to prevent a possible disaster.”

Apep was shocked. He heard from Su Chen's words that the latter knew much more than he imagined.

But how?

Was it that stupid guy from Red King who was exposed when he accidentally showed off?

Or does the ruler of the desert in front of him already have the power to know the unknown?

"How do you know this?" Apep asked in a deep voice.

"In the trajectory reflected by the stars, there is the truth of the movement of all things. Everything that has happened or is about to happen can be traced." Su Chen's eyes were deep, "I know the past and can foresee the future, so I know the power. It is definitely not coming with good intentions. I have seen from countless traces of fate that what you imagined will never happen. If you continue, even you will become a rotten thing that has lost all dignity."

He spread his hands and said loudly: "Grass dragon who refuses to condescend to the throne of heaven, if you are still proud, give up your unrealistic extravagant thoughts and follow me. You are also following fate. I will bestow you with glory." , one day return to its ancient glory!”

At this moment, Apep and King Daci Tree both showed shocked expressions.

...

Chapter 78 Unify Sumeru! The Red King fell and gained the forbidden power [8k5]

In Apep's view, the era of the Seven Dragon Kings has passed, and the world is ruled by heaven. Except for those creatures who are still struggling in despair, most creatures, including these so-called superior demons, are just 'running dogs' of heaven. That’s all.

The war between demons and gods is just a game devised by the gods to facilitate the rule of Teyvat. It is ridiculous that a group of idiots are fighting you to death for this.

No one in the world dares to fight against the laws of heaven, except them... This is what Apep thought, so after the defeated Red King showed his ambition to him, Apep thought for a long time before finally agreeing to help.

Because no matter whether the other party succeeds or not, as long as he resists the existence of this world, he is a 'friend' to him.

When Su Chen confided these arrogant words to him, Apep was completely shocked.

After all, he believed that if Azir did not seek death and fall, the throne of Xumi would belong to Azir sooner or later.

Few people can resist the temptation that is easily available, so Apep never felt that Azir could become his friend.

Also surprised was the Great Merciful Tree King. At this moment, she suddenly remembered what the Flower God once said to her -

"He is an emperor who is not content to be under the throne of heaven. He is a born monarch. One day he will uphold the power of heaven and make the whole world tremble."

Although at that time, the Daci Tree King felt that the words spoken by the Flower God were based on personal sentiments, with a hint of arrogance and unrulyness, but now it seems that the Flower God's comment was probably due to Su Chen's own influence.

The arrogant king said such blatant and arrogant words, King Daci Shu had to think about the consequences that her traveling with the emperor would bring to herself and her people.

Apep burst out laughing.

"Lord of the Yellow Sands, why do you say such things? Do you know that if the kingdom you are proud of touches the rules of heaven, it will be destroyed in an instant!"

"That's not something you should worry about. What you have to consider is the current choice." Su Chen is not worried about the consequences of what he just said. Apep hopes that he will rush to Sky Island. As for the Great Ci Tree King, the latter will sooner or later You also need to know, and you also need to face choices.

The Tree King is a smart and kind god. It can be seen from the original three-god era of Xumi that even if he knew that the Red King had touched a taboo, he did not let it go, let alone run to "report" to the heavenly principles.

"Azir, I appreciate your courage, but it's too late." Apep shook his head, "I will not surrender to anyone, and I also know the purpose of your coming here. I did reach an agreement with the Red King. Help him gain power beyond this world...it's too late, he's already on that path and you can't stop him."

Su Chen raised his eyebrows: "Where is he?"

"Deep in the world, on the winding and serpentine corridor, at the end of the passage, he should have obtained that part of the power...perhaps he has left now. The ruler of the desert, Azir, if you can really do what you just said Just go ahead and stop him, and prove to me that it's not your arrogant talk."

At the end of the road, Apep released a pure elemental power and began to explore the situation on that road. In the end, he was really unable to find any trace of the Red King, and could only feel the terrifying power remaining on it.

Although he was moved by these powers, Apep did not lose his mind. He suddenly wanted to know what Su Chen was going to do.

"Is it too late..."

Su Chen shook his head secretly. Perhaps his appearance accelerated the Red King's acquisition of power, but there was no doubt that the Red King had already begun to explore the abyss long before that, and Apep just relied on his power to open the door.

In the game, this should have been done by the flower god.

However, the power of the taboo is extraordinary. Even if it is successfully obtained, it will take a long time to absorb and control it.

At this time, the Red King would definitely choose a safe place.

When the Flower Goddess heard the news, she immediately said: "The golden dreamland is the reflection of Aru, the true eternal paradise pursued by the Red King."

"Aru..." King Dacishu shook his head gently, "The king of Chisha is indeed excellent, but he is also too stubborn. I have witnessed the prosperity of Aru, and now all the territories of Chisha belong to you. Commander, there may be a chance to find Aru’s reflection.”

"We can only try our best to find it."

Su Chen handed over this task to the two goddesses, while he himself was busy dealing with the upcoming war in Shurima.

As the Shuriman army embarked on the journey again, declaring the desert emperor's determination to unify Sumeru, a large number of human tribes chose to surrender, while the recalcitrant city-states carried out ruthless killings under the leadership of Nasus, and the blood stained the sand. Wherever the desert army passes, there is only surrender and death.

This obviously violated the last bottom line of the remaining demon gods. Some wanted to negotiate with Su Chen to show that they would not compete for hegemony and only wanted to defend a corner of the world, while others began to plan a decisive battle with Shurima.

For the former, Su Chen simply agreed, but it was actually a delaying tactic, because after he had dealt with most of the demons who dared to resist, he would eventually take action on the remaining demons.

"The demon god of lava in the west is the most powerful. Most of his people are created by lava. It is difficult for ordinary humans to defeat him."

"The Demon God of Darkness in the Northeast, he can summon the night, and his people are like ghosts sneaking into the shadows, which is also troublesome."

"In addition, there are some big guys who escaped from Liyue and are not willing to be defeated... Huh! Do they think that the God of Gold is more powerful than the emperor?"

In the palace, Nasus told Su Chen about the current situation.

To say that the most intense war between demons and gods is naturally in Liyue, but Xumi is not too far behind, because the land of Xumi is vast. Although there are many desert areas, as long as the gods win this game, The rest is not difficult.

[‘These are small things. ’ you said. 】

[Although there are many demon gods still staying in Sumeru, only a handful of them can pose a threat to you. However, no matter how weak they are, they are still demon gods. Nasus alone leading the army is not enough to achieve the goal. 】

[You come to the underground palace and feel the power emanating from the sun disk. The power of the runes beats. 'Precision', 'Domination', 'Witchcraft', 'Resolute', and 'Enlightenment'. Each rune corresponds to a powerful effect. , at this moment five different rays of light are released under the influence of your power. 】
