Chapter 448 Underworld Side
"The power of the law? Arbiters and judges, I didn't expect that it would actually become a reality one day."
When Symmetra repeated the grand occasion of more than 1,700 years ago, when the power of law was added to the camp of the power of order, the loser who had been forgotten in the underground world suddenly became a The focus of the world.
No, it’s a bit too much for the world. After all, only gods and big bosses have the opportunity to know these mysteries. In their eyes, the creator of the power of law is the God of Holy Light in the past. Going to the god position is just a matter of thought.
Considering that the creators of the power of order, such as the Son of Nature (has fallen, has children of Laughing Sisters), Mother Earth, and the God of Holy Light, are already the main gods, the crazy lich back then, the crazy lich in the dungeon, has These gods are regarded as candidates for the main god, no, it should be said to be the future main god.
On the entire order side, there are only seven such existences. Such a position is probably the highest existence under the goddess of creation. It is the highest honor, the highest glory, and the ladder leading to eternity.
If it is the main god on the chaos side, he still has to worry about falling due to fighting with each other. As the main god on the order side, although there are more restrictions, as long as he follows the infrequent instructions from the source of order, there is basically no possibility of falling.
"... Congratulations, when do you plan to ascend to the throne of God? Perhaps, we will become allies in the future. Perhaps, the arrival of the holy war is also your chance to ascend to the throne of God..."
Although I don't know why Roland knows so much about the mysteries of the gods. But as a rare drinking buddy, Ayer also sent his wishes and an invitation for a substantial alliance.
"What? Ascension to God? Isn't it the day 'our plan' started?"
Hearing the deliberately emphasized "ours", this time. It was only after Ayer found out the forgotten "plan" in his mind, that unrealistic and crazy idea, and he continued after a while.
"Are you sure? With my help and the power of the law you created, perhaps, you will soon be able to become an existence equal to me. On one side is the eternal and immortal God of Order. On the other side is the extremely unlikely Crazy plan? Can you still make a choice here?"
Even if the Goddess of Creation rebuilds the world and the inhabitants of the new era after destruction, even if all mortals are extinct. Even if the world is rebuilt, the existence of the main god level is still supreme. In the eyes of the world, their existence itself. It is eternity!
If these news spread, in the eyes of anyone, I am afraid that Roland is an out-and-out lunatic, and the immortality that is so easy to get is a joke, and instead puts everything into a pitiful gamble with a low winning rate.
But Ayer remembers,
At that time, the skull face actually showed surprise and disbelief, looking at himself as if he was looking at a fool.
"The Lord God? So what? Is the 'eternity' like a walking dead meaningful?"
What's the point of immortality like the walking dead? Even Ayer was taken aback when he heard the wild words, and after being surprised, he was filled with overwhelming anger.
no doubt. The blasphemous words of the Lich are the negation of the meaning of existence of all gods, but at the same time that Ayer is angry. Memories of the past flashed before my eyes, the demons in hell, the ridiculous endless jihad, the mortals dancing like puppets on the palm of the gods, and of course, the wheat of the soul that will be harvested in the end.
"The lives and pursuits of mortals are regarded by the gods as a stage play full of jokes and flaws. Then, under the gaze of a higher level. Isn't the arrogance of the gods the clowns in the puppet show? Even these Dolls are more advanced. Isn’t such arrogance ridiculous that you can’t even grasp your own destiny? Isn’t this kind of eternity and immortality cheaper than the life of mortals who live and die.”
Realizing that the Lich in front of him looked at fate and the truth with eyes that were more transparent than his own, Ayer's anger evaporated, and what followed was a question after long thinking.
"are you serious?"
"Hey, Boss Ayer, I've always been serious, okay, don't say you're quitting at this time, I've worked very hard all the way, okay?"
The crunching smile of the Lich Skull was as ugly and horrifying as before, but at this moment, Ayer realized that under this cynical grimace, he had already seen through everything.
Roland knew that Ayer had always regarded his plan as a joke, but he himself had been working secretly to make all the arrangements and turn the "joke" that everyone was not optimistic about into reality.
At this time, when the light of the law illuminated the whole world, and when the gods were waiting for new allies to ascend to the throne, the lucky one who created the road of the law suddenly fell silent, and the gods were late. It was too late to see the God of Law enthroned, so naturally there was a lot of discussion.
"Flash in the pan."
"A crippled soul is probably not enough to ascend to the honorable position of god."
"Perhaps, this priesthood will only benefit a certain junior in the end. Ha, is that guy willing to do good deeds?"
Not to mention those gods, even the immortals and the gods began to laugh at the liches who could not ascend to the godhood, but as long as Ayer knew that Roland had not ascended to the root of the gods, he had no respect for the newborn light of the law. Not satisfied.
"No, no, no, the light of the law is too similar to the holy light everywhere, it just means that punishment is meaningless, the redemption of sinners and the tolerance of the innocent are important. The doctrine deals with it like this, 'there is an invisible one Eyes watch your deeds, all crimes will be judged at last, the purgatory of the dead awaits you, no one is exempt'."
"Did it go wrong again? Or, let's try to polarize the doctrine, put higher requirements on the believers and executors of the God of Law, and put the most basic restrictions on all mortals. Well, in order to increase persuasion , which is the law of God."
"There is no purgatory and heaven? Haha, isn't this our next plan?"
In Sulfur Mountain City, which was in the dark most of the time, Roland patiently corrected his plans and teachings. The teachings of the Hall of Laws have been revised in hundreds of versions. under the direction of the Creator. It became polarized and detente.
"The law itself should have no will, it is just a bottom line that everyone must abide by, and those who cross the line will be punished."
He redeems and protects the weak. It is indeed a ruthless trial and punishment for those who do evil. Unlike the Holy Light, which is naturally hostile to the undead, demons and other chaotic creations, the new Force of Order unexpectedly has no natural enemies.
Later, what kind of person has what kind of power. Looking at the unrecognizable light of the law, Iyer suspected that Roland also had a crazy dual personality.
But a hundred years is not in vain, compared with the Holy Light, the homologous prototype of the power of law. The power of the law that has been honed for hundreds of years is more humble, and the silver brilliance is like moonlight, which makes people feel at ease. But once the bottom line of the law is touched, it is as ruthless as the cold light of the guillotine blade.
"...Perhaps, this new power of the law, this drawn boundary, can finally stop the two camps."
Maybe it was Roland's persistence that finally moved him, or maybe it was the supreme god of death who had already accumulated enough dissatisfaction. Ayer, who watched the power of the law gradually improve, finally made a decision at this time. At this time, this plan No matter how you calculate it, the success rate will not exceed 20%.
"Well, there are too many unpredictable factors, and I can't guarantee that it will be successful. But now it seems that at least it is feasible to take a gamble. Compared with doing nothing, it is at least possible to try."
Roland was honest. He also has to be honest, the facts are in front of everyone, no one is a fool, no one will get on the doomed ferry, he can't make a promise of victory at all.
"At least, it's not hopeless."
Yes. Compared with the soul harvesting of the entire plane, and the subsequent god-level destruction war. This seems to be a way of life found in no way.
On the way to find the way, during the long exploration, Roland's "Roland's Ark", which seemed to be broken and sunk at any time, came with more and more companions.
Roland did not hide his poor chance of success, but Adam and Margaret boarded the ship without hesitation when they learned the truth. The northern knights from the old country couldn't get off the ship. Those gentlemen didn't know what When the time slipped aboard, the Church of the Law itself was part of the ship.
The residents of Sulfur Mountain City boarded the ship, the Dungeon Alliance boarded the ship, and the kingdoms of the Northland also boarded the ship. They also expressed their position with practical actions.
Unknowingly, the "big plan" is no longer what Roland himself did. More and more people are taking the initiative to take this path. They wanted to survive this jihad, but no matter what the reason was, since they were on board, they had indeed become a force on Roland's side.
More and more like-minded people have come together, and this difficult road to redemption has gone a lot. Of course, compared with the camps that occupy the two poles of the world, the strength of this "neutral side" is still nothing.
Are they unaware? At least the Chaos side has obtained a lot of information, and the fact that the hostility with the God of Holy Light is on the table. No, it's not that they didn't find out, but they didn't bother to pay attention. The two sides still only regard each other as the number one enemy. As for A third party trying to do something....
"Isn't that the jumping clown that has existed in jihads throughout the ages? Let's see what kind of performance you sinners can make."
From the perspective of the two dominant camps, these guys who secretly colluded are naturally criminals who conspired against the most basic order of the entire world at the pinnacle of conspiracy, and they are clowns who will be crushed easily!
But now, most of the loopholes on this ship have been filled, and it is already the eve of sailing. The most important passengers... no, the helmsman, should also board the ship, even if that means a direct break with the two camps.
"Accomplice? Oh, Roland, you really chose a very appropriate word."
The memory of walking from the wilderness gradually came to mind. Iye has seen too many changes in the world. The protagonists of this world are constantly changing. Ancient humans, golden elves, sage civilizations, medieval humans, trolls, high elves, and many others The civilization and splendor once amazed the gods, but in the end, those splendid civilizations and their buildings were turned into ruins in the flames of war.
In this cycle of building and destroying, is civilization advancing? Civilization in retreat? Civilization stagnated? Civilization has reached its peak? or……..
"Or. In the eyes of the creator, mortal civilization is just a sandcastle on the beach, which is worthless?"
The undead died because of the obsession that they were unwilling to sleep forever. The oldest and original natural undead is no exception. The long years have made him forget the original obsession, but he still remembers one thing.
In the original Ashe Era, gods and humans lived together. Although the natural environment is extremely harsh, famine and evil beasts can be seen everywhere, and the gap in the rules of the plane makes it common for plane invaders. But at least, the strong will not despise the weak like ants. Weak lives will not be so desperate, and civilization will not break down so repeatedly due to man-made reasons.
Reclaiming wasteland in the dark age is very difficult, the sages and tribal leaders hold high the banner. Gods and demigods use primitive totems to protect mortals. There is no so-called source of belief, but the people of the tribe sincerely look forward to and respect the gods who protect them. Countless times, Ayer returned to the past in a dream.
As an undead, he climbed up from under the tombstone, wasn't it because he was still worried about his own people? At least, the ancient gods of that era were still trustworthy, and they would use their brothers and feet to protect and help mortals. Instead of sitting high on the palace, chanting vain teachings, waiting for the opportunity to harvest souls.
"Heh. In the end, who is the devil who cheated the soul?"
But now, generations of gods have been turned into decorations on the throne by the so-called priesthood and belief, and the people of the Gaoshan clan have been reduced to the devils cursed by the world, and they have repeatedly served as cannon fodder and dolls in the eternal holy war. This is what the first generation of humans should be. To bear the fate? Is this the world the ancient founders aspired to?
"Mother God. Is this the order and unity you desire to see? Sister Cynthia, is the evolution you pursue the endless destruction of this cycle? Since we are not given the right to live, why give us hope? We are not The dolls and puppets in your hands, this boring war, should also come to an end. The time has come!"
Red, black, grey, the three-color rose of death was held in the hands of the god of death, and it turned into a storm that swept everything. The immortal god of death made a decision.
"From today onwards, we are out of order and do not belong to chaos..."
The moment his eulogy was uttered, the whole world shook violently. As a pole of the world, his words were real power. When he announced, countless responses reverberated in every God Realm.
"From today onwards, we are out of order, and we do not belong to chaos, we...
More than a dozen gods muttered in their own kingdom of God. In every corner of the world, one could see the sky that was burning and the space that was shaking.
"From today onwards, we are out of order, and we do not belong to chaos, we...
Perhaps, what the source of order did wrong was that it didn't instill its own concepts like the little devil on the side of chaos, and gave the hearts of the gods who stepped into the altar from mortals. Not every mortal who ascended to the throne of God will forget his roots. When truth and hope are presented to them, they make a choice.
"...belongs to Hades!"
"... Hades!"
"We are the gods of Hades!"
Countless huge fire meteors pierced the sky, and those huge meteors broke the common sense of mortals. In the eyes of the world, when the true god falls, his kingdom of God will turn into meteors and piercing the sky, but now, What does the meteor shower represent? Then every meteor surpassed the meteors when Rose fell before. Could it be that more than a dozen powerful gods fell at the same time? This is absolutely impossible, there may not be so many powerful gods in the entire plane!
"It's not falling, it's defection."
The astrologer Su Luo of the Tower of Clouds was covered in cold sweat, his legs were trembling, but he made a professional judgment in front of his colleagues.
These gods have not fallen, they are pulling their divine kingdom out of the control of the source of order, and throwing it into an unknown plane. Isn't this a defection? The entire order side unexpectedly defected to more than a dozen true gods at once!
The mortal believers were completely dumbfounded, but the gods who followed the fall of the kingdom of God were very excited and jumped. They had waited for this day for too long.
"Hey, I haven't been able to make money for a few years. I hope there is business in the underworld."
Bijana is very upset, the business is getting better and better recently, but she has to leave.
"Heh, even in Hades, the 'Contract Warrior' system has already entered a self-circulation, and it can still operate, and your main business will not be affected. We just left for a few years. Or, do you plan to stay here? , facing the crusade of those old guys?"
"Shut up, I want to perceive the existence of that plane, what should I do if I get lost in the void?"
Unlike the silence in the past, the Moonlight Goddess is a little excited now. She has been waiting for this day for too long. Even if she has the "guiding priesthood" and she will take on the task of leading the navigation, she can't suppress the joy in her heart.
"Finally, free..."
Even before leaving, the Lord of Destiny who looked up and sighed did not forget his mission. He viciously shook the galaxy in the sky, and all the stars fell into chaos.
The chaotic trace of fate reduced all prophecy-type abilities to decorations, reducing the possibility of tracking the plane of the underworld again.
And even if he doesn't act, the facts make no difference.
With Ayer, who no longer needs to hide it, with all his strength, the entire dragon world (underworld) plane has been completely separated from the main plane. Soon, there will be completely lost contact with the other planes, and the holy war has begun, and the angels and demons are about to In the exchange of fire, the anger of the order and chaos camps is destined to be unable to vent to the gods of the underworld.
Yes, the gods of Hades, that new plane will become the base camp of those neutral gods, where they will build a new world of self-circulation, completely breaking the monopoly of order and chaos on the mortal world.
By this time, the Ayer side had completely turned against the order, but considering the balance of power between the two sides, at least before the jihad entered a hot period, the gods on the neutral side would disappear in the underworld deep in the multiverse, but through the original With the back door left behind, their divine power can still be poured into the believers.
Just like those evil gods living in the abyss of chaos, the source of order can no longer control them. In peacetime, it will naturally organize a crusade, but now that the holy war is imminent, it is impossible for the chaos side to miss the weak period of the old opponent. As long as the two sides enter the period of full-scale war, they will naturally have no spare energy to track down the neutral gods of the underworld.
And according to the "big plan", when the gods of the underworld reappeared on the battlefield of the holy war, they should also have the ability to completely stop the war.
All the signs showed the division of the gods of order. Even the gods fell into confusion, and all the priests naturally fell into frenzy. At this time, another meteor also suddenly fell down. That meteor is tearing apart the entire sky, its mass surpasses any god before it!
"...The Lord God, who is the Lord God?"
"Holy Light! This..."
"Lord God Ansolo! He actually betrayed at this time!"
Don't get me wrong, the direction of the fall of this main god is different from that of the gods of the underworld. The direction of his fall is the lower plane, which is the bottomless abyss where the demons live. After that, he took the opportunity to defect without hesitation.
Obviously, he picked a very good timing. Ayer's betrayal was already on the surface. The source of order would definitely send assassins to hunt down the gods of the underworld. Naturally, there was no spare power to send out the main god-level existence to hunt down him.
And when the main elf god successfully hitched a ride and the other gods on Iyer's side went to Hades, the "main criminal" Iyer just stood quietly by the river Styx.
The muddy water of the Styx kept slapping on both sides of the river, and there were screams of demons in the ruins of the sea of flames not far away. More than a hundred years ago, Ayer and Roland finalized the "plan" here, and now, in Here, the most important page in the "plan" will also be opened here.
"The time has come." (To be continued)
ps: Well, the writing is smoother, the amount of two chapters, today seems to be the last day of the double monthly pass...
