After completely destroying some of the ruins that Osiris had left behind in the underworld, Seth, who vented his anger a little, finally reluctantly chose to leave.
He is not the God of Death. Even if he is targeting Osiris now, he will still be hostile to other Gods of Death if he stays in the underworld for too long.
Not to mention that he is currently in a difficult situation of internal and external difficulties. Even if he becomes a powerful god, he will never be able to ignore the many gods of death.
Because in theory, after the death of believers of all gods, their souls will first go to the underworld and be watched over by many gods of death.
Then each god will send messengers to the underworld to lead the souls of their believers into the kingdom of God, and Seth is no exception in this regard.
This is another reason why he had such a strong reaction after hearing about the resurrection of Osiris and the betrayal of Anubis.
On the other side, after temporarily settling Isis, Horus and Anubis, Levi contacted Penthesilea and Elegy, and then he unexpectedly learned that both of them were one step ahead.
Taken away by Diana.
Levi suddenly felt enlightened. It seemed that as an external god, although Diana was not very strong, she still had some special senses. She should have started to prepare for her death.
As for the reason why Elegy and the two of them didn't tell themselves such an important thing, they probably wanted to give themselves an unexpected surprise.
After he arranged for a messenger who was best at dealing with people to take care of Horus and let the body begin to try out his extraordinary divine power, Levi also sent an incarnation to return to the underworld.
On top of the ruins, three gods of death were already waiting.
The leader was a black-haired warrior who looked very ordinary and dressed as a mortal.
But just by looking at Jacob standing behind him, anyone could know his true identity.
The Lord of the Dead in the human pantheon, the God of Death, Kelanvor, also possesses the two divine offices of death and the dead.
But there was another Death Knight with silver hair like frost and a cold air exuding from his body, which surprised Levi a little.
God of Liches and Undead, Lich King-Arthas.
Rumor has it that although Kelanvor promised to protect Arthas as the main god, the two have always been at odds due to the relationship between the priesthood and the camp.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
With three death-related gods gathered at once, Li Wei began to make some guesses about Jergal's invitation, but this was different from his previous speculation.
Is this really the only purpose of Jergal?
But Li Wei remembered that when he was in the Kingdom of Jergal, Jergal had lamented more than once that Kelanvor was not very smart.
Now Jergal is dominated by Kelanvor, and holding the meeting in front of him is probably to encourage the latter to come forward, right?
As his thoughts were whirling, Levi took the lead in saying hello: "Osiris has met three of your highnesses, Cranvor, Jergal, and Arthas."
Although the other party must be aware of his dual identity, since it is the God of Death meeting, it is natural that the identity of Osiris will be the main one.
It sounds a little helpless to say that when other gods open their vests, they try their best to avoid being known by other gods to avoid any interference.
But Li Wei had just become a god, and already many gods knew about his dual identity.
The only good thing is that this information is currently limited to a small range, and Levi's two identities are irreplaceable.
Let’s not talk about the Lord of Paradise Mountain. Osiris is supported by Horus and Anubis, and is recognized by the world consciousness. As long as he does not confront Seth head-on for the time being and hibernates in the underworld for a while, Seth
No matter how helpless he was, when he saw that there was no chance of killing Osiris again, he had to take the initiative to ease the relationship between them.
Because Osiris is the God of Death, unless Set spends extra divine power to personally lead away the souls of his followers every time, they will also need to go to the underworld!
The three gods of death responded one after another. This is the most basic respect between gods.
Jergo stretched out his hand and turned the surrounding ruins into a gorgeous palace, showing his extraordinary control over the underworld.
Even though he had expected it, Levi still couldn't help but admire it. He was far from being able to do this now.
Similarly, Alsace's eyes on the other side also flashed with light. If he had the power of Jergo, then he could do more things.
Without mentioning Levi's impersonation at all, after a few polite words, Cranvor got straight to the point: "Your Highness Osiris, I would like to ask you what your attitude is towards the undead?"
Levi knew why Kelanvor asked this, because Kelanvor was a mortal, and he received part of the legacy of the three death gods of the previous generation and directly became a god.
Although he has improved somewhat after being a god of death for so many years, he still maintains many of the ideals he had as a mortal.
That is, he hates almost all undead creatures, and he has never created any intelligent undead creatures.
In fact, Levi had some objections on this point, because except for lichs and some vampires, most undead creatures did not choose to become undead by themselves. They were essentially just cannon fodder that was forcibly driven.
"I agree with what you said in your teachings. Death is a part of life. Death is a new beginning. Undead creatures should not be abused."
This is natural. If the souls of the believers of the gods are transformed into ghosts after death, the losses to the gods will be great.
Moreover, vampires and zombies cannot produce offspring through natural reproduction, and basically cannot provide any power of faith. Naturally, they are of little value to the gods.
Levi was very interested in Dracula's canonization at the beginning, because it probably meant that Dracula had a way to solve this problem. Perhaps this was also the reason why many gods basically had a laissez-faire attitude towards Dracula's canonization.
reasons.
Because if Dracula can really give vampires and even other undead creatures the power of faith, then might other gods also benefit from it?
But after such a long time, many evil gods felt that they had been deceived, because this vampire demigod had no special support.
As a racial god, he does have certain control over ordinary vampires, but he still cannot give vampires the power of faith.
His followers are mainly the Hagui tribe, that is, those mortals who try to transform into vampires to gain longevity and strength.
Secondly, there are some mortals who have received special transformations and taken certain special medicines.
They may exhibit vampire characteristics in some aspects, and possess some vampire physical combat abilities, magical talents, etc., but in essence they are still humans.
Therefore, this vampire god seems to be trying to sell someone else's flesh, at least for now.
This is not as good as the original Lich God-Vesharon. At least among Vesharon's followers, apart from the Necromancer, some lichs do exist.
Therefore, many evil gods have gradually changed their attitude towards Dracula recently, which has also made some of Lucia's actions much smoother.
In terms of intelligence ability alone, she, who inherited the power of the Lahmian family, is not only unmatched among vampires, but also basically few can compare with other races.
Lucia began to spare no effort to search for traces of Dracula's followers and vampires from the Eclipse Alliance, and so far she has achieved a lot of results.
After the abyss rifts opened by many demon lords who consecrated gods are gradually closed, and after Levi has dealt with the matter of the Vampire Queen and the Blood Czarina, it will be time for Lilith to free up her hands and try to deal with Dracula.
Becoming a god has indeed improved Dracula's power a lot, but it has also given him a new weakness. As long as he kills all his believers, without the power of faith as a supplement, his death will only happen sooner or later!
Hearing this, Jerek was noncommittal. This was inconsistent with his teachings. He once believed that death is the eternal destination. Mortal creatures may live for tens or hundreds of years, but they will die for tens of thousands of years.
Of course, this was what he had thought before, and now he no longer dwells on it. He has not even managed his own church for thousands of years. In the true sense, he completely relies on the spontaneous worship of mortals.
Arthas remained silent, which was inconsistent with his thoughts. If he had strong enough strength, he would of course want to control many powerful undead creatures to attack the city and completely transform a certain area of the main world into a
The paradise of the undead.
Spreading death and fear and making mortals learn to fear is also a powerful way to gain faith, just like the wrath of the gods.
It is true that belief cannot be forced, but in order to avoid arousing the wrath of gods, those mortals, like domestic animals, will find reasons for themselves to believe in the evil gods who harm them.
Although I am not that extreme, it is still feasible to adopt some similar methods, or to use some evil undead, such as the vampires under Dracula.
Unfortunately, since he has temporarily become Kelanvor's follower, he is subject to surveillance by the other party to a large extent, so these ideas cannot be realized.
Moreover, his own strength is far from enough to be able to withstand the backlash of mortals and gods at will like the furious gods.
Kelanvor nodded slightly, but he also knew that usually in this situation, there would be a turning point later.
As expected, Levi continued: "At the same time, I also believe that the existence of undead creatures is necessary. They can make mortals more fearful of death and facilitate the gods to establish their faith."
Kelanvor remained silent. When he first became the God of Death, he tried to wipe out all undead creatures in the main world, but as Levi said, the gods also need the existence of undead creatures.
In other words, not only undead creatures, but also various beastmen, demons, devils, and even natural and man-made disasters, etc., many existences that can threaten the lives of mortals can become tools of the gods.
The gods have never been the slaves or nannies of mortals. The gods provide strength and protection more for gaining the power of faith.
Just like herdsmen raising cattle and sheep, they have always loved cattle and sheep, but they only need the milk, fur and meat produced by cattle and sheep.
Alsace's frosty face thawed slightly. He originally thought that this being who was also the Lord of Heavenly Mountain would have a special hatred for the undead.
But now it seems that his wisdom means that he does not have a particularly strong prejudice against the undead because of his alignment, good and evil, etc. This is also good news for himself, because there are really some differences between the two.
Many common languages.
"Of course, the power of death cannot be abused at will, especially those evil lichs, necromancers and vampires."
"At the same time, I also think that they may have done many wrong things in the past, but at least they should be considered to give them a chance to redeem themselves."
Having said this, Levi nodded slightly towards Alsace, indicating that he had no particular ill will towards him.
Arthas, who inherited part of Velshalon's priesthood and power, was very different from his predecessor in treating believers.
Although those necromancers still control undead creatures, their range of actions and targets are extremely limited.
They mainly use the corpses of some sinners, and some even work part-time as exorcists, controlling the undead creatures to reunite with their relatives in order to make profits.
When possible, they will mainly use the corpses of evil races such as beastmen, and try not to touch elves, dwarves, etc.
All in all, Arthas seems to be taking advantage of his time under Cranevor's protection to avoid making enemies and begin to change the outside world's perception of him.
If he can continue, maybe his camp will change accordingly.
Even Li Wei was a little surprised when he first heard it.
The last person who had done something similar was probably the Frost Maiden of the Furious Gods - Oluel. Most of her clergy - the Ice Priestesses - were active in the land of ice and snow - Kislev.
If it is winter, the range of activities may expand many times, but although they are obviously neutral evil, in fact they rarely rely on robbery to make money.
Because they can live a very prosperous life simply by working as postmen, delivery workers, etc., and there is no need to risk fighting.
Many gods and people said that if she could break away from the Furious God System and Talos, her camp might be improved as a result.
Arthas took similar actions, although it may also be because he is currently very weak and relies heavily on Kelanvor's protection, so he must actively comply with the other party's rules in order to survive better.
But for Livy, Alsace's methods are indeed worth learning from.
Moreover, Levi was not all speaking for Alsace, he was also paving the way for his next actions.
For example, drag vampires such as the Vampire Queen and the Blood Czarina to the underworld to serve themselves.
Kelanvor pondered for a moment, trying to think about it, but in fact he already agreed with Levi's statement as a whole. The next step was to improve some details.
For example, in terms of attitudes towards demons and devils.
As a lawful and neutral god of death, some of his actions may be strongly questioned by the opponent, and may even arouse hostility.
If the other party was still the Lord of Heaven Mountain, I would never agree to such a meeting.
But the other party came now as Osiris, and the meeting was facilitated by His Highness Jergal, whom he regarded as his teacher, so he came.
He felt the need to explain clearly to the other party that he was full of pain after making those decisions. Even now, he still often feels guilty, but he was also doing it for the greater good.
Levi hasn't finished speaking yet: "Considering that the main world has the largest number of humans, their will is also weak and cannot resist the temptation of evil, so I think we need to be extra careful when it comes to humans."
"Well, our Egyptian pantheon and the Tomb Kings are somewhat special, and I need some time to deal with them."
Hearing this, Kelanvor finally showed a satisfied smile. He is essentially a human god of death, and of course he also considers the interests of the human dead.
If evil races such as greenskins or beastmen were transformed into undead, he would certainly be unhappy, but in reality he wouldn't have much trouble and would just destroy them when he saw them.
As for other races such as elves and dwarves, that is not a problem that he should worry about.
The Egyptian pantheon is self-contained and never plays with other gods. The Tomb Kings are also problems left over for thousands of years and have been unable to be resolved in the past. Osiris even rejected his well-intentioned help many times.
Now that Li Wei is so sincere, it is certainly impossible for him to push further.
So Kelanvor immediately chuckled and nodded: "I think His Highness Osiris and I have a lot in common. Maybe we can cooperate more comprehensively in the future, for example, to deal with the demons who come to the underworld to plunder souls."
Levi certainly understands why Kelanvor emphasized it so specifically, because normally, the plane barrier in the main world is the strongest, but the barrier from the bottomless abyss to the underworld is relatively weak.
In the past, almost all gods of death were troubled by the same problem, including Osiris and Kranvor.
Kelanvor's revenge is usually very quick and direct, that is, he directly sends the avatar to the bottomless abyss. Whichever layer of demons robbed the soul, he will kill on that layer. If possible, even the opponent's demons will be killed.
The lord is also killed together.
Ordinary demons have no brains, but the demon lord knows how to fear the power of this powerful god.
Therefore, after so many years, some demon lords will take the initiative to rein in their subordinates and try not to go to the underworld of Kelanvor to snatch souls.
From this aspect, there is almost no big difference between Kelanvor and the three major heavenly clans in their attitude towards demons.
However, there is a huge difference in how we treat devils.
The three heavenly clans have always been uncompromising when dealing with devils, and their emphasis is on eliminating evil and doing their best.
But Kelanvor, Jergo had vaguely revealed before that Kelanvor seemed to be cooperating with the devils. According to the agreement, when the demons plunder the souls of the City of the Dead, the devils need to stop them.
Because not all demon lords are afraid of Kelanvor, and not all demon lords can restrain their greed.
Moreover, demon lords will also fall, and there will be successors who do not believe in evil and want to try Kelanvor's power.
What's more, there are really too many layers in the Abyss. There will always be new layers and new demon lords will be born.
For all these reasons, Kelanvor cannot deter all demons all the time. He needs to cooperate with the demons.
In return, Kelanvor will allow the demons to tempt the souls of his city of the dead to a certain extent.
Perhaps most mortals will choose one or more gods to believe in, but if the piety is not enough and the strength is not particularly outstanding, the gods will not take care of the souls of ordinary mortals for no reason, so most of these souls will live among the many gods of death.
in hands.
Some need to be judged and then sent to reincarnation, some need to atone for their sins in the underworld, etc.
As a powerful god, Kelanvor undoubtedly has the largest number of souls in the city of the dead in the underworld, and also attracts the most attention from demons and demons, so much so that even he himself cannot take care of them all.
Perhaps in Cranvor's view, cooperation with the devil is a necessary sacrifice, and Levi can roughly understand it, but he will never imitate him.
Moreover, Jerger obviously did not agree with Kelanvor's approach, so Jerger took the initiative to tell him this information, but Kelanvor probably thought that he had no knowledge of it.
Although he had many thoughts in his mind, Levi still nodded in agreement: "Yes, I have always advocated fighting the devil to the end, especially now that many demon lords have ascended to the gods, they will definitely take more drastic actions. I also hope that
We can carry out relevant cooperation with His Highness Kelanvor."
In fact, Levi already had a rough idea, which was to gradually replace ordinary guards with death guards.
But because he has not obtained the relevant priesthood, nor has he gained a strong enough advantage, if he says it now, he may only make wedding clothes for others.
Kelanvor also smiled and nodded: "I am also looking forward to cooperating with His Highness Osiris. At least we still have some time now."
Although many demon lords have successfully become gods, currently, compared to other gods, demon lords have serious innate deficiencies.
First of all, most of them only have chaos and evil domains, and most of their priests are very single. They are usually gnolls, ghouls, shadow demons, succubi, etc., which are highly targeted racial priests.
Secondly, as for believers, it is simply a joke to expect demons whose minds are full of madness and chaos to believe in them honestly and provide them with the power of faith.
Without sufficient power of faith, it is naturally impossible to transform divine power, even to open up the Kingdom of God, etc., nor to comprehend or use extraordinary divine power.
And without these, how much of their advantages as gods are left?
Therefore, in the past period of time, after several short battles, Kelanvor has been able to roughly determine that those demon lords who have become gods basically still use the same old fighting methods in the past.
At most, with the strengthening of their godhood and priesthood, their attributes and resistance to physical and magical attacks have improved a lot.
It can be expected that if no major accidents occur, they will continue to maintain this state for a long period of time. The initial stage of a new god is always the most difficult.
Of course Levi could understand what Kelanvor meant, because in the past few days, many demon lords close to the 600th floor had sent large armies, trying to follow the passage to the small fire elemental plane, and then break through to
Main world.
Among them, there was a guy named Kelly, the Mother of Black Earth, who was also consecrated to the gods in the same group as the Succubus Queen, Mecanshut, etc. After Baphomet's death, she still had a chance, and her true identity turned out to be
Easily defeated by Sobek's incarnation.
If it weren't for the fact that she was an extremely special earth-attributed demon with the ability to use the black soil of the abyss to create something similar to a lich's phylactery, she might have become the second demon god to fall rapidly.
After reaching such a consensus, the atmosphere gradually became much more harmonious. After pondering for a while, Kelanvor finally chose to tell Levi about his cooperation with the devil.
Li Wei naturally looked extremely shocked and shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he would never make any formal compromise with the devil.
This made Kelanvor feel very embarrassed and helpless, but at the same time he was also a little relieved, because even though his camp was lawful and neutral, he was actually a little biased toward kindness. Now that Levi has shown such an attitude, maybe he really
Able to be a good reaper.
However, Kelanwo still explained the details a little, not to gain Li Wei's understanding, but to show the truth of the facts.
It turns out that Kelanvor was very cautious about cooperating with the devils. He did not let the devils roam freely in his city of the dead, but only in a specific area.
The souls there are all specially selected by Kelanwo, those who have done evil in life, killed too many people, corrupt officials, corrupt nobles, and those who have made deals with the devil, etc., a series of evil souls.
At the same time, Kelanvor also stipulated that the devil can only use temptation and transactions, and cannot force or deceive those souls.
With these rules in place, any soul that is still willing to go to the Nine Hells is definitely not a good thing. Kelanvor can minimize the losses.
Levi nodded, and his original opinions on Kelanwo were relieved a lot.
But even so, there should still be some innocent victims, and Kelanvor has not signed such a contract with all the devils in the Nine Hells of Baator.
And even after signing a contract, the devils can still use various loopholes and the art of language to deceive those souls. This is what they are best at.
But Kelanwo is indeed trying his best.
So Li Wei immediately said: "I will not choose this method, but I respect His Highness Kelanwo's choice."
Cranvor couldn't help but relax a little after hearing this. In his opinion, this was enough.
In fact, as a powerful god, there was no need to explain everything he had done to Li Wei, the new god who had just ascended to godhood, but he believed that Li Wei was the god of death who was most likely to understand him and reach cooperation with him.
Moreover, His Highness Yerge also believed that Li Wei had great potential, and at the same time, Li Wei might also be able to become a helper in the next actions, so he came here specially and wasted his time.
Now it seems that the effort was indeed not in vain.
