Chapter 1,71: The Underworld (Part 1)
The next day, Haboba ascended the throne, enthroned and accepted allegiance from all nobles.
Nobles at all levels came forward according to their ranks to perform their loyalty ceremony, kneeled in front of the king, and swore that they would only follow the king's order from now on. Before they retreated, cheers and praises were heard.
The following is another vigorous construction. According to the plan, it will take three years to complete the construction and bring the kingdom to the stage of cultivation and rest.
...The first floor of the abyss is originally the top of the fifteenth floor of the abyss. The sun is dark red, and it shines from the sky full of blood. However, black clouds often cover the sky, making it look like dusk.
"Boom!" A rumble of shocking the entire plane, and the entire first abyss was shaking.
Duke Hikas, sitting on his throne.
As the Duke of the Abyss on the eleventh floor, it controls the corpse abyss and is skilled in the realm of the necromancer. Even if it is temporarily stationed on the first floor, it has obtained a huge castle.
This castle is the most luxurious castle on the first floor. It is built with black jade on the top and seems to be able to absorb all the light in the sky, but there is a little aurora in the sharp spot.
This is the goddess's palace, and being able to live in it shows how much the goddess values ​​it.
Through the window, you can see the blood-red sky. Duke Hikas approached the window and looked down at the earth.
You can feel the power of darkness flowing into this layer continuously. The storm produced by the vibration forms vortexes, and magma erupts from the volcanoes, spitting thick smoke and poisonous gas.
Affected by this, the barren land, the dark jungle, and the turbid lakes are all boiling.
Even so, the work continues.
There are little demons like ants everywhere below. They flap their wings and brave the terrible storm, working desperately. For every thousand little demons, there is a small team of big demons supervising them. They are covered with scales and parade with spears.
Above, there are the demon lords and demon wizards.
A huge river has basically been formed under the work of hundreds of millions of little demons and countless low-level lords and mages.
Duke Hikas frowned, it was thinking.
This river is called the Styx, which existed originally, but this project is very huge. It will completely encircle the first layer according to some mysterious structure, and it will boil forward, producing incredible magic.
Even though it is almost not fully completed, it can already feel the deep and terrifying power when the stinky river flows.
This power is so powerful that it even radiates out of the abyss from afar, pulling the soul.
According to the goddess, this is to fight for control of the soul.
In the past, when the soul fell, although a large number of it fell into the abyss, many were disturbed by various factors, stayed in the human world, and fell into other planes.
After the completion of this Styx project, it will generate strong traction, so that the soul can no longer escape, at least it cannot escape under the Holy Spirit.
The design drawings were half provided by the goddess, and half perfected by the Abyss myriad scholars and nobles.
It also voted for approval at that time, but now, seeing it is about to succeed. For some reason, it has a sense of ominous premonition.
Hikas looked back and prepared to contact other dukes.
It is very slight to make the Duke feel this way.
After all, could it be that the Duke could not ignite the divine fire for some reason, and the true god had long been born here. Even so, the Duke is also the top existence in the world.
Just as he painted his knuckles in the air, no warning, darkness enveloped the room.
Suddenly, everything lost its light, and the darkness was so level that even Hikas' eyes could not see through it, even if it was equivalent to God.
Hikas immediately realized that he had been attacked. He had barely thought about it and spit out a word. Suddenly, a piece of negative energy formed a shield, which had filled it.
But in an instant, an incredible force penetrated Hicas's body, its life suddenly freezes, its breathing stops, and huge pain penetrated Hicas' soul, causing it to scream from the depths of its soul.
"...Why?" it said with difficulty. The powerful darkness had instantly shattered its life, but as the Duke, it already had some kind of immortality, and even at this time, it could still speak.
With a sudden enlightenment, it immediately knew the other party's identity.
"Hikas, your respect for me is sincere, but it is my responsibility to clean up the demons." At this time, a female voice said, and a soft laugh came.
The next moment, a girl appeared in front of it, her body looming in the darkness, surrounding the goddess with uncertain darkness.
It saw that the goddess had scars on her body, and little sacred blood was still splattering, but as soon as it fell, it turned into a rich darkness in the air.
The immortal power was collapsing, and its eyes were dark, its whole body was stiff, fear and confusion were revealed in its eyes. It struggled and spit out a few more words: "Why?"
As the Duke who is loyal to the goddess, and in the war with the Lord of Glory, the goddess really has no need to kill it.
"For the sake of responsibility and for the deity." The girl leaned closer to its ear and said softly, her tone seemed to be talking to her lover.
"The old rules have been loosened, and the realm of death calls for the true God, but God has a responsibility. To me, it is to clean up death and purify it. To some extent, the demon and I are opposite!"
"The goddess of the demon clan? What's this? Even if you really condense the divine nature, you're just duckweed outside the core."
"And because the old rules have been loosened, the realm of death calls on the true god, so you should feel that your power and perception have increased significantly recently, which is a sign of igniting the divine fire."
"It would be really troublesome if someone ignites the Divine Fire of Death before I officially become a god or condenses the divine nature."
After saying this, her eyes became indifferent, and she stretched out her hand and pierced into its brain.
There was only a "puff" sound.
"Ah!" A scream stirred in the space, gushing in all directions, but was blocked by an invisible ripple.
The next moment, a dazzling ball of light rushed out from the middle of his eyebrows.
This ball of light is as dazzling as the little sun. It is a translucent crystal, transparent and clear. Countless incredible dark golden symbols are running around the crystal, but its light is black. This seems to be the deepest and darkest light, penetrating everything.
"Sure enough death divine nature has been condensed, and even a semi-finished divine character has been condensed. The next step is to have both the divine fire and the divine character... If this castle was not my divine kingdom and another sneak attack, it would be difficult for us to kill it all at once!"
"However, the progress must be accelerated. Do you think it's? His Highness Romon?" said the girl.
"You are right, the great His Highness Morans."
Morans grabbed the brilliant soul and semi-finished divine character in his hand, showing a pity, but handed it to Romon: "The third one!"
Romon took it, and the body disappeared in a blink of an eye. Even Morans could only feel a brief fluctuation in some kind of space.
"...The Duke of the Abyss did not ignite the divine fire, but the power it accumulated was really terrifying. It was close to the low-level true god." Romon said with emotion.
"Yes, so there is not much time left. Due to the heavy casualties, the demon's senior management has already become confused. Due to the recent loosening of the rules, the eleven dukes have the possibility of igniting the divine fire... How many resources are needed to mature?" Morans asked with a frown.
Now, due to the heavy casualties, the various abyss senior leaders who were in charge have begun to experience abnormal movements.
"A ordinary demon needs at least 50 million, but now he has only raised 10 million. There are three dukes, which can be equivalent to 15 million, and there is still 25 million left." Romon said.
In fact, at the twenty-eighth level, it was enough to absorb three million demons and three dukes (including its soul), but according to Romon's premonition, to be basically mature, it should be level 29 and the sixth cycle is completed.
At the 29th level, what is needed is 20 million. The reason why 25 million is that it is more than enough, and there is also a huge number required at the 30th level - 50 million demons or angels.
For some reason, since level 25, the space has been transformed into the nature of the Kingdom of God, and its growth has suddenly stopped.
Relying on spiritual energy alone is no longer possible, especially the spiritual energy of plants.
What space requires is a huge amount of direct energy, especially the power of gods and demons.
"Twenty-five million?" Morans frowned and murmured.
There are actually only twelve abysses with demons. The next three are too close to the negative energy core, and even the demons cannot survive.
For the sake of holy war, most of the demons have been drawn. The 25 million seem to be not much, but in fact it is already a very large force now.
"Can you kill the Duke again?" Romon asked, "I can cooperate."
"No, the ones who are killed can be killed. The other nine dukes are obedient to the command and not the announcement, and will not give us a chance. If we really fight hard, we can kill one or two of them."
"Besides, even if you use divine power to conceal, those dukes can still feel some of it. If you want to deceive them, it won't work." Morans shook his head: "Don't talk about killing them, even now, I can only hide it for another three months."
"In three months, it is best if the fruits are ripe so that I can grasp the overall situation. Otherwise, if the nine dukes unite, even if I am, I can't hold on."
"Only I became the Lord of Death, and the first layer was immediately transformed into the underworld and control the laws of this layer. Even if the nine dukes coalition forces were all, I could face it head-on."
Even the gods must follow the laws of different planes, not to mention that these dukes, no matter how powerful they are, they are not true gods.
Romon nodded.
Chapter completed!
