Chapter 16: Battle in the Abyss (Part 1)
The Highest Conference Hall of the Underworld
The wrath of God caused the storm above the underworld, and all the undead were trembling, and the demons and devils who came to the underworld were also afraid of it. The storm thrust wildly for more than ten hours, and it was only now that it was barely calmed down. Even so, the underworld was quiet.
A crystal ball flashed in the hall, flashing black, red, and green light.
The two gods on the throne were all looking at an incarnation sitting in the hall, and the light of divine power condensed on that incarnation. The light ball formed by the two divine power was constantly shining and being absorbed until the incarnation in the middle became a demon.
"How is it, His Highness Annien Rubuetta, do you feel adapted?" said Jego.
"What kind of demon is this now?" Annien stood up. Its divine power essentially occupies the shell of the demon, and began to read the demon's memory, and asked casually, because the demon had undergone some transformation. Now it seems that it has wings, black scales on its body, mixed with dragon blood genes (the black dragon in this world), and has two horns on its head. In addition, it is similar to humans.
"Is there any difference? There are at least thousands of planes in the bottomless abyss, and countless demons live in each plane. And due to the nature of chaos, these demons are actually constantly changing - the changes are stronger or weaker, and then war and killing will eliminate the weak, so even if you are a new breed, no demon will show strangeness."
"However, you should note that divine power is very sensitive in the bottomless abyss. If it is not necessary, don't use divine power casually. Of course, limited divine power can still be used, as long as you find a suitable reason." Jego said: "The profession of blasphemy priests and plane merchants you have chosen is quite good and can conceal your actions."
Annien held the meditation sword in his hand, and countless sword fighting skills and experiences flashed through his mind. This was specially copied by Jego from the soul of a legendary swordsman. Although obtaining such skills and experience does not mean that he is a legendary swordsman, but he has to undergo countless training, but this is also a benefit.
"Has spell-like magic solidified?" Klanwo said.
In the abyss, the existence of the magic net is very fragile. In some aspects, especially at levels very close to the main material world, the magic net can still work normally, but the deeper it is, the weaker it is until it cannot even contact the magic net. Therefore, spells that can be cast without relying on the magic net become the instinct of the demon.
However, this kind of spell is usually fixed, similar to a sorcerer. Therefore, in order to conceal the identity, solidified spells are a must-do. You must know that even if it is a chaotic plane, if it is noticed by the higher authorities, fixed spells are necessary, and spells beyond the norm that cannot be explained may lead to suspicion.
"It has been solidified. Level 0 is reconnaissance magic, the first level is identification technique, the second level is abyss Dark Technique, the third level is dark fireball Technique, the fourth level is charming monster, the fifth level is teleportation, the sixth level is dissociation technique, the seventh level is group invisibility, the eighth level is cloning technique, the ninth level is the gate of another world, and the additional magic space hidden box."
"Well, it basically meets the choice of a higher plane merchant. If you cooperate with the blasphemy priest, then in general, it is enough. Has the memory of blasphemy priest been completely digested?"
"It's completely digested," Annon replied.
Plane merchants are special businessmen who travel in the realm, traveling on planes after planes, buying weapons, magic and other treasures. Plane merchants claim that they are in a neutral party in the conflicts and struggles of all planes. Each plane merchant is proficient in many languages, and plane merchants usually carry a large number of guards and can communicate telepathically with any creature that can use language within a 50-meter range around them.
As for blasphemy priests, they can obtain divine art without praying or pleasing the gods. They only need daily meditation to steal the divine power that the gods only give to the devout priests. This makes the gods angry and regarded them as hateful thieves, so they are always hunted by the gods. A powerful blasphemy priest who was noticed and killed by Jego directly asked Anion to eat and digest the soul of this powerful blasphemy priest to absorb its experience and way of thinking.
The blasphemy priest can steal the power of God to gain the ability to cast divine magic, and can gain powerful spell-like abilities against divine magic and other creatures. The most powerful blasphemy priest can use the same principle as stealing divine power to steal spell-like abilities of other creatures. The blasphemy priest can choose to absorb one spell-like abilities (if any) from a creature within 50 feet once a day and take it for himself. The absorbed creature will not lose this spell-like abilities, so it cannot be discovered.
Therefore, blasphemy of the priest is actually a reliable explanation for Annien's use of his magic.
"Then, bring the space bag. As a powerful plane merchant, you bring hundreds of guards, and you have one, two weak artifacts, a few legendary tools, and some magical items. Generally speaking, no lords will attack the plane merchant unless there is too much benefit."
"According to my divine power detection, this robbery operation is the 253th level of the abyss lord, Akaz, who is a low-level lord, and his reputation is not revealed, but you must note that in its abyss, it has a virtual divine character, and is still quite a weak divine power. You have only 30% chance of winning against it in the abyss, not to mention at least millions of demon subordinates, you must adapt to the situation."
"Your most powerful subordinate is a demigod mummy. Because you have a holy emblem that is very important to it, you can dominate it. Note that the demon may find a way to seize your holy emblem. If you lose this holy emblem and don't want to reveal your identity, you can only lose this demigod mummy."
"The second is some golems. They are your loyal warriors, and some demons. They are the demons I caught. Although they have been extracted and controlled by memory and make them feel that they have a virtual background, they are still relatively unreliable due to their nature. However, you can recruit in the abyss, and they are cannon fodder."
The two gods said in turn that they were very angry about the demon's robbery, but since the two gods, especially the current god of death, Kelanwo, has not been fully grasped in control of the underworld, and have not consolidated their divine power and divine nature, it is difficult to retaliate on a large scale.
So Annien Rubueta firmly demanded to go to war, and they provided some support, and their greatest support was the second group of light groups, which was the profound knowledge of the fields of war and death, which included many structural mysteries of extraordinary divine powers. This is not surprising for the field of death. No one can compare to the mastery of death, but the field of war...there is a strange way to come about.
Ann also knew the danger of this trip. Even if these people enter the abyss, even if they use it to be incarnated into the power of Divine Character 4 (its original body has recently been promoted to Divine Character 8), it is almost impossible to go deep into the 232nd level of the abyss, and want to regain their souls and take revenge before retreating. However, it has its own plans for this.
I would rather be buried in the abyss in my incarnation, and would rather engage in a war for hundreds of years than establish my reputation and credit, and go deep into the abyss to fight for the souls of believers, at any cost. Such a reputation is very beneficial to my future spread of faith, and it is also my first test as a god of war!
Annien thought so. He even brought a group of death angels, forcibly destroying and growing to the point where he could fight. This is because every battle they will be remembered by their divine power program. As a result, countless battles can be extracted from countless combat experiences and skills. In this way, all angels will learn such battles through the program, and this is the real benefit.
"Okay, you can go to the battle and hope you can return successfully." The two gods said.
"After the words of the two high-ranking masters."
Crimson Plain
This is the top of countless levels of the bottomless abyss. This is a barren land with birds and no grass growing and dusty, roasted under the hellish crimson sun. The dusty plains are interspersed with three types of terrain - the huge abyss on the surface, the huge steel fortress, and the Styx.
These abysses on the top are entrances to deeper levels. Descending along certain abysses, travelers will soon reach the relevant layers.
On a hill, Morrison, who was the captain of the demon, saw that two short-term battle legions below were retreating. Now only a symbolic force was left to patrol back and forth, but it was obvious that they didn't care at all.
"You, go and collect the remaining souls. Although these residual souls are not of much mass, they are better than nothing!" a voice said.
Morrison looked at his master and replied helplessly: "Yes, respected Master Bukari."
It was originally a powerful demon. If it was in the abyss, it could at least be awarded the title of viscount. However, twenty years ago, due to a mistake, it had to follow this plane merchant under the power of a powerful contract, and it would have to serve it for at least 280 years!
Morrison led his 200 demons who were also under contract to walk down, and they all had a deep red mark on their bodies, which was part of the power of the weak artifact (Soul Furnace) obtained by its owner. Within 3 meters near them, the remaining souls will be absorbed and transmitted to the Soul Furnace - to be honest, this makes it feel helpless, because the soul itself is the currency of the abyss, and as long as there is goods, it can be as many souls as you want. Such a soul absorbing is like constantly picking cheap copper coins on the ground - although with this weak artifact, there are many cheap copper coins that you pick each time.
Therefore, it has a new understanding of the stinginess and greed of merchants, but doing such things makes it feel very angry. It wants to kill for the sake of venting hatred, but looking at the army in the distance and feeling the master's magic, it finally resists this temptation.
The group of demons scattered and walked through the battlefield. Countless remaining souls were absorbed. These souls would have died and merged into the plane. Although this was just a daily small conflict, thousands of corpses were still lying on the ground, with bloodstains on the rocks, and the broken and torn limbs mixed with broken simple weapons. There were traces of magical energy left on the battlefield.
"Good done, Morisson." Anne, who was named Bukari, said appreciatively. Seeing them coming back, these souls were too fragments, and no mage or demon were willing to spend their power to collect them, but for it, of course, the more the more, the better. After all, these souls are very powerful. The remaining fragments can also produce a lot of platinum liquid after being purified by the artifact!
Therefore, Annien made up his mind that it branded the soul furnace to any of his subordinates, so when they passed by, the remaining souls that did not merge into the plane would be absorbed. This artifact was made by Jego, and the artifact that was improved by it was originally intended to collect the plundered souls - now such a function is valuable!
"Let's go to Duanyu Town."
A succubus named "Red Shroud" knew it was not his real name as soon as she heard it. She ruled the Duanyu Town, which was used as a gathering point for bloody mercenaries, and was crazy enough to explore the transit station and a place of trade for travelers who wanted to explore the bottomless abyss.
The demon soldiers in the distance didn't even look at such a team. Among the demon army in tens of thousands, these just a few hundred are worthwhile. Of course, these low-level demon soldiers who don't even have much wisdom do not understand the power of this generally belong to the middle and high-level demon team.
This town is actually composed of a series of collapsed towers, surrounded by simple fortifications such as trenches, city walls, and spike roadblocks. When they arrived at the town, the demon captain who was responsible for recruiting cannon fodder immediately discovered them. They wanted to go forward immediately, but when they saw it, they retreated one after another. The demons nearby avoided the two sides and lowered their heads gentlely.
