Chapter 435 Melkor's Vision

The preparation of the ceremony did not take too long. There were corpses and skulls everywhere here, and this environment was very suitable for establishing the conditions for communication with Melkor.

Under the command of Soul Controller Cressa, the corpse servants began to pick up those bones that met the requirements from the ground and built them into pyramid-like piles of corpses.

Although the name of the zombies seems to be unintelligent zombie corpses, in fact they are not like that. They are undoubtedly living people. The zombies are the lowest-ranking ordinary members of the death cult, no matter what kind of events the cult holds. When arranging the scene, the corpses had to be handed over to the corpses to handle the rituals. When the corpses had completed setting up the ceremony's framework, skull-beaters of a higher level than them also surrounded them at this time.

They surrounded the ceremonial place set up by the corpse, holding a specially made skull with the lower jaw and eye sockets illuminated by cold candlelight, and chanted hymns in praise of Melkor, the god of the dead, around the ceremonial site.

"The Smile of the Pale Skull!"

"The regret of a ruined body!"

"The turmoil of thousands of dead people!"

"Lord of Bones! Lord of the Dead! Haunted Ghosts in the Tomb! Lord of Graves and Years, of Dust and Dusk! Your humble followers, I beg you to lower your gaze!"

The chants of the congregation became more and more intense, and a faint yellow aura of decay also floated out from the surrounding bones. It was the negative energy fluctuation that belonged to the God of the Dead. Melkor had begun to notice the situation here. At this moment, Catheric Som also walked into the center of the ceremony, raising his hands high and embracing the sky.

"My lord Melkor! Lord of Bones! Lord of the Dead! Your loyal followers pray for your guidance! Please send down the oracle to guide us through the confusion!"

"Catherick——"

A withered, old and hoarse voice suddenly reached Kesrick's ears. On top of the pile of pyramid skulls in the middle, an intact humanoid skull suddenly burned with a dim yellow flame. This skull It floated like this, and then slowly drifted in front of Catheric. Melkor's will appeared in this skeleton.

"My lord!"

The surrounding believers fell to their knees in an instant, and even Catherick immediately knelt down.

Although the kneeling general's spine is still straight, which retains his last dignity, his head is also humbly lowered, because the gods must not be disrespected. As Melkor's chosen one, Catheric only Be able to listen humbly to the teachings of the God of the Dead.

"My elect - I already know your worries, but there is no need to worry or be alarmed. The difficulties you think are not real problems. On the contrary, these tiny tadpoles are the beginning of our rise."

The skeleton bearing Melkor's will continued to speak.

"My lord, please forgive my ignorance. I don't understand. The mind flayer tadpoles produced by the master brain are becoming increasingly scarce. If this continues, our originally planned army will..."

"Catheric, my chosen one, an army of mind flayers has never been the most important thing. Those soulless monsters have no value in my eyes, but those tadpoles, those killed by Karthus The tadpole imbued with the crown has infinite potential, and I have already foreseen the future..."

"Great Master, what kind of future will that be?"

"The birth of a new god, Kesric, the crown of Karsus has the potential to turn mortals into gods, and when its wearer becomes a monster, this potential has been amplified to an unimaginable level. degree.”

"My master, do you mean that the mastermind will become a new god? A controlled true god? How is this possible..."

"Catheric, my chosen one, you have to remember that the future is a vague and foggy road. Even our true gods dare not claim to be able to control the direction of destiny, but we can still With his detached vision, he can predict the future to a certain extent, and this time, I have a hunch that there have been changes in the deal between Kesrick, Ben, and Barr."

Melkor's words suddenly changed.

"Those tadpoles, I can feel that the crown of Karsus is transforming them, just like transforming the main brain. This is an evolutionary process leading to the unknown, and when this process is over, these tadpoles will also have the ability to transform into decay. For the magical power! My elect, the only thing you have to do now is to wait for a suitable opportunity, and when the time is right, directly seize control of the mastermind from the other two elects.”

‘Does this mean I’m looking for an opportunity to break my covenant with the two of them? ...Forget it, this alliance is full of loopholes anyway, and there is no trust between the members of the alliance. Even if there are contractual restrictions, under the intervention of gods, it is not difficult at all to betray each other. ’

"As you command, my master, I...I will wait for the right time."

Catheric lowered his head humbly again. Melkor once gave him a gift that none of the gods could give him, that is, his daughter. Melkor made her heart beat again, and in return for this As a gift, Kesric offered unlimited loyalty, and if necessary, he was even willing to judge the death of all Faerûn for Melkor.

"Very good - but not until then."

Melkor's skull suddenly turned 180 degrees, and his vision was facing a deep dark cave, which was probably less than 200 meters away from him.

And at that moment, Nohir, who had transformed into an invisible little devil and had just been hiding in this cave for ten seconds, was discovered by the Lord of the Undead in an instant.

"First kill the little thief who is snooping around, Catheric. You have been chased here without being discovered. I am somewhat disappointed in you, my chosen one."

‘! How is that possible? ! Something has been snooping around here! I actually never noticed it! ’

"I'm sorry, my lord, but that little thief won't live much longer, I assure you."

…

'What an unlucky thing. I happened to encounter something like this. I made so many preparations in advance to prevent being discovered, but I was still discovered before launching the raid...'

Nohir sighed helplessly. There was nothing he could do about it. He thought that his preparations were as good as those of a mortal. But facing the gaze of a god, even if he hid in another dimension, he would probably still be able to do it. Be seen through directly.

"In the end, you still have to fight hard!"
