Chapter 572: Leveling the Abyss
In the sky above the Capital of Flesh and Blood, a walrus-like demon was suspended in front of a huge golden stone ball.
"...You are as weak as a native."
Although the language Richard used was wizard language, he thoughtfully added spiritual messages when speaking.
Spiritual messages are the common language of almost all races.
"You said I'm as weak as...a native?"
After hearing this, Cleo fell into a trance.
Calling him a native means that this world has an owner, and it is also the territory of the owner of a civilized world.
No wonder the big demon was killed before.
But it's too late to say anything now.
The two civilizations have reached the border, and the first shot has been fired in the abyss. Going to war with two civilizations at the same time... the future is slim.
"Being beaten stupid?"
"No, strong men from other civilizations."
Cleo's voice was calm, as if he had lost most of his body and was being held in mid-air.
"As long as you're not stupid. Abyss Demon, I want to make a deal with you."
"trade?"
Cleo was a little shocked. The habits of this unknown civilization were somewhat special.
Who would trade with prisoners?
"I know you abyss demons, and I also know that you have very high attainments in flesh and blood." Richard said lightly, "You have a choice now. You can happily hand over the knowledge you know, and then I will happily give it to you." You alone die. I even place your head next to my most prized trophy.
Of course, you don't have to do this transaction. Then I will use all the means I know to search your soul inch by inch and drain all your memories drop by drop.
This choice is not a good choice for you or me, so I do not recommend you to choose this. "
"Haha, you are so interesting."
Cleo seemed to have heard something funny, and she was overjoyed. Then he suddenly stopped laughing, and carefully looked at the unknown civilized creature in front of him with his dark red pupils.
"Since you know us, you should also know that deception is our virtue. I can give you knowledge, but do you dare to use it? Or are you planning to use a contract to bind a guy who is destined to die?"
Richard was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had made a mistake.
Since he does not intend to let this devil go, the contract with death as the final constraint will naturally have no binding force.
"I'll check it myself."
"Check! Ha, if you can check it out, why are you trading with me?"
"So you're trying to persuade me to drain your soul bit by bit?"
"No, no, no, I think we can change the deal." Cleo said with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"I think it's a good deal that I give you knowledge and then you let me go. You see, I will definitely not use my own life to deliberately trick you."
"And then let you continue to lead people to occupy my world?"
"Of course not, you know we are at war." Cleo explained, "Waging war with two civilizations at the same time is not a good choice.
I will keep the coordinates of this world, and if possible I can even erase this coordinate from us. You can add these to the contract. "
It must be said that Cleo’s suggestions are very implementable. Richard knew that the abyss civilization was at war, but the abyss civilization did not know that the wizard civilization was also at war.
So his world is absolutely safe until the end of the war.
but.
"This is a very good proposal." Richard said calmly, "But I choose to refuse. The Abyss has killed so many of my believers and turned my world into a cesspool. How can I still want to leave alive with just this little thing?
I think you think of me a little too gently. "
Opening the secret realm, Richard threw Cleo into it unceremoniously. And when he saw the huge world mushroom in the secret realm, Cleo suddenly felt that he had made another fool.
"World Mushroom, entertain him well."
"Yes, my lord."
Looking at the mycelial tentacles that tied him up, Cleo said in a panic: "That... the conditions can be negotiated. If you think the price is low, I still have a lot of good things in the warehouse... Don't drill into my veins, don't Touch my nerves, ah..."
"Abyss save me!"
After closing the rift in the secret realm, Richard waved his staff, and flames filled the sky. With another wave, these flames poured down on the flesh and blood capital like the Milky Way.
All the creations of the abyss were turned into ashes in front of this flame.
Soon, a dark sphere that kept emitting abyss energy appeared in front of Richard.
"Is this the exit from the Abyss Webway?"
Without hesitation, countless chains flew out of Richard's body. Richard didn't have much research on the art of sealing. Even if he became the Lord of the World, his level of sealing art was only at the level of an ordinary three-ring wizard.
However, it doesn't matter if he doesn't do any research, he is a great wizard and can definitely fly with huge force.
With the blessing of the world, Richard directly used the power of the origin of the world to seal this passage.
The rune chains turned into cyan frost, sealing the entrance layer by layer. But soon, a terrifying and terrifying fluctuation came from within the royal road.
"Seal the Internet Channel? Who are you!"
Faced with the question coming from the Abyss Network, Richard did not answer and silently accelerated the sealing.
With the blessing of the power of the world's origin, it can seal up to three-level creatures, cyan frost, and even the Lord of the World on the opposite side of the web cannot break it.
The green iceberg is slowly forming, indicating that the abyss invasion of this world has come to an end. Next, Richard only needs to purify the remaining pollution of the abyss, and the entrance to the abyss network will collapse on its own.
But just as Richard was about to return home, he suddenly stopped.
"Oh, by the way, this is a good time to cheer up people. Maybe it will increase the number of fanatical believers."
Ulises was sleeping, and Richard was now left to look after the church on his own.
The bright but soft holy light dispelled the haze that had lingered for hundreds of years over the Flesh Capital, and a huge figure shrouded in holy light slowly appeared from the horizon.
He was wearing a black robe and holding a black stone staff in his hand. The dark clouds of the abyss that had not dispersed for hundreds of years dissipated, and the glory of God descended on this land again.
Then prayer comes.
Thousands of goblins knelt on the ground, chanting loudly the great deeds of the gods.
Thousands of beliefs come together, thousands of thoughts come together, and even the will of the world is attracted. The power of the world's origin was injected into Richard's body and turned into a part of the holy light. Under the illumination of the holy light, the poisonous land returned to its original state, and the creation of the abyss turned into ashes. Even the abyss demon seemed to be poured with hot oil, and his entire body began to fester and turn gray.
The disaster of the abyss that lasted for 543 years finally ended, and the glory of God once again shined on this land.
…
"Ben, the disaster of the Abyss is over."
In the coffin made of fine gold, Richard's first believer in this world, the first pope of the Order of Miracles, lay quietly inside.
Ben looked terrible at this moment. A small part of his body was missing, including more than one arm and half of his left leg. And the power of the abyss is rooted in his body. Without the assistance of divine magic, this erosion is inevitable.
Without Richard's appearance, Ben would have had only one ending, and that would be to be executed by the Order of Miracles before turning into a demon.
Ben slowly opened his eyes, his voice was as weak as a candle in the wind.
"Lord Sage, you are finally back. Is our test finally over?"
"There is no test, Ben." Richard said in a low voice, "There is never any test. I disappeared just for promotion."
"I see..." There was a weak smile on Ben's face, "I knew...Sage, a good person like you...can't possibly do such a thing."
"Let's talk about business, Ben." Richard said with a serious expression, "Your pollution can no longer be removed, even I can't do it. If you continue, you will only become an abyss demon."
Richard would not stop the infestation of the Abyss with magic, but even if he had, it would be too late now.
Once the abyssal erosion exceeds half, abyssalization will be inevitable. And Ben had already exceeded 50%.
"I know, my lord."
Ben's eyes did not dim because of Richard's words. Death was no longer enough to scare him.
He had always felt that he was a mechanic, but because Richard chose him, he became this monk and this pope.
A mechanic can do all this, and he is satisfied.
A wave of tiredness washed over Ben's body, and he was finally able to get some sleep.
"Ben, put death aside for now. Your value has not completely disappeared, your mission is not over yet."
Richard's voice woke Ben up, and in his confused eyes, boundless holy light bloomed from Richard's body. Under this holy light, his body began to dissipate, and his soul collapsed along with it.
The parts of his soul that were contaminated by the abyss were stripped away in the collapse, and then the Holy Light and Ben's participating souls merged together and turned into a new Ben.
Richard said to the newborn Ben: "Ben, you have become a saint."
The prerequisite for the inability to expel the pollution of the abyss is that one is immortal. If one is willing to have his soul disintegrated, it is not difficult to expel the abyss.
The disintegration of the soul is death for living things, but the technology of the civilization of the gods can recombine the disintegrated soul with faith and mold it into a new life form, and this life form is called a heroic spirit or a saint by them.
Even if you die, you won't let them go. From a certain level, the civilization of the gods is also quite evil.
However, the conditions for using this technique are very strict. To be promoted to a heroic spirit, it must be used by a god, and the user must also be a believer of this god. The more devout a believer's faith is, the greater the possibility of becoming a heroic spirit.
A devout believer like Ben can basically succeed 100% of the time.
Looking at the new body, Ben was a little at a loss.
Richard said calmly: "Don't be stupid, go find some reports from Tel Franken. The disaster of the abyss is over, and the church needs a saint as a supervisor."
Ben was stunned for a moment, then crossed his hands on his chest, bowed to Richard and said:
"...Yes, my lord."
