Chapter 552 Finishing Work

Because the Astral Prism is a Gis thing after all, and it has been said before that the value of this thing is simply inestimable, so for Noshir, asking Orpheus for such a valuable thing would make him feel like he is repaying a favor.

But what Noshir didn't expect was that Orpheus handed the Astral Prism to him directly after he just asked.

Noshir asked Orpheus if he didn't know how valuable this thing is? But Orpheus said that no matter how expensive this thing is, it is not as good as the freedom and liberation of the race.

Orpheus said that if Noshir hadn't given this most precious gift to the children of Gis, this thing would be just a prison that restricts their freedom.

They have had enough of the days in there, and they are not interested in locking other compatriots in there to suffer. Instead of holding it in their hands and recalling the sadness every time they see it, it is better to give it to Noshir directly.

If this thing is really valuable enough for you, Orpheus will feel better, because it means that he has finally repaid some of Noshir's kindness.

Orpheus said so, and after hearing Orpheus' words, even if Noshir didn't say it, he was still moved in his heart. It should be said that he is worthy of being one of the great men who successfully led the Gis people to overthrow the Mind Flayer Empire tens of thousands of years ago. Such noble character is indeed worthy of the name of the Comet Prince.

Noshir accepted the Star Prism and promised the prince that in time, after he completely absorbed the legacy inside the Star Prism and solved the threat from the lower plane, he would definitely go to the Star Realm to help them overthrow the brutal rule of Vlaakis.

During the tens of thousands of years when Orpheus was sealed, in order to consolidate her rule, Vlaakis set her name as the title of the supreme ruler of each generation of Githyanki. She claimed to be the 147th Vlaakis, but each generation of Vlaakis was actually herself. She had been faking her death to regain the position of supreme ruler again and again, and continued to deceive the Githyanki people's faith in the name of Vlaakis. In the past thousand years, her efforts have finally paid off.

Feeding on the faith of the Githyanki people for tens of millions of years, Vlaakis has gained power beyond mortals. She has been tirelessly pursuing the power of gods, and the fanatical faith of tens of millions of years has finally allowed her to obtain true divine power and possess unimaginable power.

But Vlaakis's paranoid spirit prevented the spread of the Supreme Queen's faith. In the early years, in order to maximize the faith of the Githyanki, the so-called Supreme Queen kept claiming that the Githyanki were more noble than other species and were the undisputed ruling class in this world, and that the many worlds and races in the material plane were just backyards for them to slaughter at will.

Vlaakis's actions did indeed give her unimaginable reputation among the Githyanki, but it also completely isolated the source of faith of other races, so that she could only draw strength from the Githyanki, a single race.

This paranoid and stupid behavior eventually made her suffer today, tens of millions of years later. The incomplete faith directly led to Vlaakis being only a demigod until now. Even though she has always claimed to be a real god, in the eyes of the real gods, Vlaakis is just a jumping clown.

From the thousands of years of faith of the Githyanki, she did gain real divine power, that is, the power of faith, but she did not condense the true divinity at all. No matter how loudly she declared that she was a genuine god, it could not change the fact that she was just a false god.

But even if she was a false god, with the power that Orpheus currently had, if they faced Vlaakis head-on, they would definitely not have any chance of winning. However, if everything went well, then all this would be another matter.

——

Looking at the magic ships that gradually passed through the silver-white star portal in the sky, and the three red dragons that had recovered from their injuries and could barely fly, Noshier silently wished in his heart that they could win the first battle and gather a resistance team that could compete with Vlaakis as soon as possible.

Noshiel, who is familiar with the original work, actually knows in his heart that in that distant star world, there are actually more Githyanki who are dissatisfied with Vlaakis' tyranny and have been quietly planning a rebellion than imagined, and there are also high-ranking people among these rebels.

Even the true history related to the Comet Prince has been quietly circulating in the dark of Turanus. Just as Orpheus said, once they really raise the banner of the Comet Prince, these rebels who could only hide in the dark and dare not reveal their true thoughts will inevitably stand up and join the Comet Prince's camp.

It is not so easy to tell the winner between Orpheus and Vlaakis. As long as Orpheus does not lose his mind and directly challenge Vlaakis, who has divine power, the two sides will definitely be able to confront each other for a long time. Noshiel must also take advantage of this time to complete what he should do and go to the star world to support Orpheus as soon as possible.

With this in mind, in the next two days, Noshir first helped Karak to fulfill her obsession in the Bodran Sea Tower.

Because of the different timeline, Karak returned two years earlier, and her parents did not die because of this. Therefore, compared with the timeline in the original book, Karak now lost less things than before, so she was able to maintain her emotions in a relatively stable state when facing Gotash.

Compared with her hatred for Gotash, Karak actually cared more about why he did this, and when she knew about Gotash's childhood experience, Karak finally felt a little relieved.

Karak finally understood the reason for all this, but she still did not forgive Gotash's behavior. Because she had been caught in the rain, she had to break all the umbrellas of others. Of course, she would not agree with this approach. She just got rid of her own worries and knew why Gotash betrayed her. For Karak, just knowing this was enough.

After that, the Baldur's Gate officials also made a formal judgment on Gortash. The four-member council officially issued a death warrant for Gortash in the name of treason. Noshier witnessed the death of this ambitious man at the execution site and confirmed that he was indeed dead and there was no possibility of resurrection.

However, almost at the moment of Gortash's death, Noshier's keen intuition suddenly flashed a chill, as if something was looking at him in the dark.

Noshier believed in his intuition, but after that, even if he had let go of his perception to the greatest extent, he did not find where the gaze came from, and finally he could only let it go for the time being.
