As a result, a war that seemed somewhat inexplicable to outsiders, but was actually quite large in scale, officially began.
Levi, the Lord of Paradise Mountain and the God of Death in the Underworld, declared war on Yeenoghu, the lord of the 422nd layer of the Abyss - the Death Delta, and the God of Jackals, Yeenoghu. The reason was based on Yeenoghu's many past sins.
At the same time, Anubis, Lucia, Donna, Serekite and other gods on Paradise Mountain, as well as Lilith, Illidan and Imrik, who were friends with Levi, responded immediately.
Then the King of Ghouls, Dorison, also surrendered, claiming that he was once a benevolent elf. He had no choice in the past, but from now on, he wants to be a benevolent demon lord.
And he didn't just talk, he directly opened his territory, the 421st floor of the Bottomless Abyss, to Li Wei.
Now the coalition forces on Li Wei's side can use the 421st floor as a springboard to march straight in and launch a fierce attack on Yeenoghu in the fastest possible way.
Levi did seize this opportunity, using many heavenly lords such as Mercy Messenger and Messenger as the vanguard, and many incarnations of true gods such as Lucia and Penthesilea to personally control the formation and command the people from Asia.
The allied forces of multiple races, including the Celestials, Elves, and Lizardmen, launched a fierce attack on Yeenoghu.
What outsiders don't know is that in this war, many constructors and angels of death joined the battle.
In fact, in Livy's plan, they may gradually transform into the main force of the war.
Because the Archons will be suppressed by the Abyss, it is difficult for elves and lizardmen to adapt to the special environment of the Abyss, but constructs and angels of death do not have most of their weaknesses.
No matter it was the corrosive lake on the 422nd floor, the poisonous smoke clouds, the hot lava, or the biting wind, etc., they could not cause much harm to them.
And they are not afraid of sacrifice. When creating, Levi did not implant negative emotional factors such as fear and shrinkage into them at all. They only need loyalty and bravery.
In the follow-up process, Levi also adjusted the proportion of soul fragments invested and added some metals and stones again.
Because he has also thought clearly that now he does not have enough conditions and there is no need to pursue perfection from the beginning.
He can use these low-quality products as consumables first, obtain a large number of soul fragments from the bottomless abyss, and create a beneficial cycle first. After the number of constructors reaches a certain level, there will be a large number of soul fragments surplus every day.
, and it is completely too late to manufacture high-level constructors or death angels in large quantities.
As for the other gods, they did not send much power. The main reason is that when the souls of believers ascend to the Kingdom of God, they are bound to the gods and the Kingdom of God, and they cannot appear outside the Kingdom of God.
Therefore, this kind of cross-dimensional battle requires either recruiting warriors from the main world, or various celestial creatures, or powerful beings such as dragons and titans to participate.
As for the New Gods such as Khalida and Donna, they basically don't have many of these two existences, or in other words, even if they have some, they are not willing to send them out. After all, it is destined to be a waste.
war.
However, Lilith, Yue Gong and the others still have very good foundations. In addition, this time it was the combined efforts of the gods, so a large army was quickly assembled.
Caught off guard, Yeenoghu lost over a million square kilometers of territory and millions of garrison troops in one fell swoop.
But on the surface, Levi's achievements seem to be nothing more than that.
Because the environment on layer 422 is very complex, including grasslands, deserts, oceans, mountains, caves and forests, etc., and even if the terrain here has the same name as the terrain in the main world, it is actually not that
Simple, it may contain all kinds of evil energies and monsters.
This made the coalition's advance not particularly smooth.
Once the Archons stay in the bottomless abyss for too long, they will inevitably be corroded. Therefore, Li Wei needs to regularly deploy the army and let the Archons return to Heaven Mountain in turn to accept the cleansing and cleansing of Heaven Mountain.
Purify.
At the same time, perhaps because he was dissatisfied with the invasion of the Abyss by the gods, worried about becoming the next target, or simply dissatisfied with Li Wei, Yeenoghu also received support from some nearby demon lords, and even several demon gods and evil gods.
Although most of them are unknown people, there are also a few ruthless characters.
For example, the White Mole on the 399th floor, Erdlian, the God of Greed who specializes in fighting dwarfs, the Lord of Sorrow on the 400th floor, Ahriman, the chief demon on the 452nd floor, and Ahriman on the 471st floor
Cang Ye, the mother of demons, and Dracula, the vampire god on the 487th floor, etc.
They were relatively close to Yeenoghu's territory, so they could dispatch a large army as soon as possible.
Even some demon lords don't know whether they are overconfident or too stupid, so they went there in person to try the power of the gods.
However, these guys basically paid the price for this. Lucia and Anubis teamed up to chop a dozen of them in one go, eliminating them permanently.
When the gods of the death system reach 0 godhead, they can realize the powerful supernatural power of the Hand of Death, and their destructive power against mortal objects is terrifyingly strong.
The demon lords are indeed powerful. If they go to the main world, they can easily destroy cities and countries. But to the gods, they are just rougher and thicker than ordinary militiamen. In essence, they do not have much power.
Different, they are still mortal objects that can be instantly killed by extraordinary divine power.
Since then, no similar fool has appeared. Even Yeenoghu himself has been well hidden. Despite Dorison's repeated provocations, he only dared to send out messenger-like avatars to scold him.
Because he knew very well that even if everyone was at the same level of divinity in a duel, it would be difficult for him to defeat a death-based god like Lucia. He would be the only one to suffer the consequences of his temporary ambition.
In addition, many giants from the bottomless abyss, such as the undead emperor-Ocus, the succubus queen-Mecanthet, the wind demon-Pazuzu, etc., also provided assistance to Yeenoghu.
Regardless of their normal relationship, when facing outsiders, they rarely show a little bit of unity.
And they didn't just shout, but actually sent some troops. Anyway, there were so many demons in the bottomless abyss. If you gave Yeenoghu hundreds of thousands of troops, even if they were all dead, what would happen to them?
It doesn't matter at all.
As for any famous demon lord, who doesn't have an army of hundreds or tens of millions under his command? A little more, hundreds of millions or billions is not impossible.
Anyway, demons don't need food or water. As long as they can breathe and absorb magic power from the outside world, they can survive, so over time, they can always accumulate a lot.
It is precisely because there are so many demons that they fight among themselves crazily, mainly to compete for territory and various resources.
In a sense, the situation of demons is not much different from the goblins, kobolds and the like in the main world who regularly make appointments to reduce the population.
Although the strength of these demons is uneven and the types are strange, coupled with their chaotic nature, they may have died a lot due to internal fighting before they even arrived on the battlefield, but they are used as cannon fodder to delay
Time or whatever, they are still enough.
Under such circumstances, Yeenoghu, who gradually gained confidence, also launched many counterattacks and actually regained some territory.
It wasn't until the Gaidin Celestial Clan and the Aithorn Celestial Clan joined in one after another that the arrogance of the devil's side was suppressed again.
It's just that the three major heavenly clans all have to face the same problem, which is the corrosive effect of the bottomless abyss. Therefore, even if multiple parties join forces, Yeenoghu, who has received a lot of support, cannot be completely wiped out so quickly.
But in this battle, the reputation of Li Wei and other related gods was indeed completely established. Gods of kindness and order, including Kelanvor and Tyr, all expressed their affirmation and support for Li Wei.
Even some gods who had never had contact with Li Wei before came to show their kindness.
At the same time, in the main world, Cindy and other clergymen also have a lot of materials to write legends about gods such as Li Wei and preach to mortals.
However, these gains are only what other external entities can see on the surface.
In fact, with the help of such frequent and large numbers of deaths, combined with the knowledge previously obtained from many beings, Levi finally took a crucial step, and as a weak divine power, truly understood the power of the origin of death.
Although it currently only has a share of about 0.3%, he has begun to truly feel the powerful increase brought by the origin of death.
All the death-related powers he exerts will be enhanced in terms of their power, casting range, sustainable time, etc., while the consumption and error rate, etc., will all be reduced. This is an all-round enhancement.
Then, when fighting against beings related to death such as the undead, he will be strengthened while the opponent will be weakened.
If you are creating undead, death magic scrolls, etc., they will also be strengthened.
There are so many kinds.
He even had a hunch that when his divine level was further improved and his share of understanding was strengthened, he could also provide similar enhancements to his priests and believers.
The higher the share of the source of death it occupies, the stronger the reinforcement it can give to believers. Under the same conditions, it will definitely be easier to attract believers.
Even according to Jergo's calculations, if the share in the origin of death is high enough, even without any believers and the power of faith, relying solely on death in the world is enough to support the existence of gods.
There is no need to run around all day long for faith, no need to care about the number of believers, no need to kidnap them whether they live or die, and it doesn't even matter whether to establish the Kingdom of God.
A god who is independent from the world and can always look down on other gods condescendingly despite the changes in the world is the true god above the gods.
In addition, Levi can obtain a large number of soul fragments almost every minute and every second.
Because the scale of the war was large enough, even though it didn't last long, his harvest was very rich. He had created hundreds of thousands of angels of light and angels of death that could be used as combat power, and they are currently used to guard Heaven Mountain and the underworld.
.
There are dozens of times more newborn angels created using soul fragments of different quantities and qualities. They will draw strength on their own in Heaven Mountain and the underworld, and then slowly grow to a usable level. This is what Li Wei did.
experiment.
He needs to go through countless experiments to gradually find the most cost-effective manufacturing method.
In this way, a few more months later, the war between the gods and Yeenoghu became normalized. Li Wei controlled the intensity of the war within a certain range to ensure that Yeenoghu would not be killed directly.
, and even gave the opponent the illusion that they could successfully counterattack.
This allowed the demon lords on other levels to see the hope of defeating the coalition of gods. They continuously sent demon armies for reinforcements, which allowed Li Wei to harvest a large amount of soul fragments.
At the same time, after countless experiments, Levi also completely mastered the most cost-effective manufacturing method, and officially obtained the Maid of Heaven and the Maid of the Underworld, two special angel racial priesthoods-energy angels.
His last weak link has been completely repaired.
After experiencing the baptism of countless wars, the development of constructors is also obvious to all. Now many constructors have spontaneously changed their professions to various professions, mainly warriors, but occasionally there are also some legal professions.
At the same time, their faith was truly born, and their piety was very high. They basically started out as true believers or devout believers.
Even though they are also regarded as alien beings like Archons, so in terms of the amount of power of faith they can acquire, they are still obviously not as good as the mortals in the main world, but this represents a possibility.
When their number is large enough, Levi may even no longer need believers in the main world and can maintain his existence solely by relying on constructors, the Archon Celestials and the Eldest Spirits.
After thinking about it for a while and making sure that there were no loopholes in the details, he formally summoned the gods of Paradise Mountain, Anubis, Lucia and Khalida, as well as Lilith, Moonbow, Illidan and Sobek, etc.
gods.
Not only can he provide OEM processing of constructors, but he can also share all the relevant knowledge about manufacturing constructors and energy angels with everyone.
However, he is not completely selfless. The relevant gods need to swear by their real names under the witness of Lilith and others, and sign a series of offensive and defensive contracts with Li Wei and Heaven Mountain. This is a prerequisite.
If it is OEM processing, as the god of death with the field of craftsmanship and the creator of the constructor and the two energy angels, he is more efficient when manufacturing, the quality of the finished product is better, and he saves more materials.
In this way, the more gods participate, the more he will gain, and the more constructs and energy angels there are, the more he has the racial priesthood, and he will definitely benefit from it.
If you want to buy the knowledge back and make it yourself, Levi provides two purchase methods. One is to spend the godhead fragments or other precious treasures to pay for the knowledge in a one-time buyout.
The second is that Levi takes a commission from the harvested soul fragments.
Even considering that Khalida and other new gods did not have much knowledge and could not send much power, he very considerately rented out some of the constructed constructs and energy angels to the other party.
After several months of hard work, even if there were only a few damages during the experiment, there are now several million maids of heaven who can serve as combatants on the mountain of heaven. There are slightly fewer in the underworld, but there are still nearly a hundred.
Ten thousand.
Even an ordinary medium-level divine power would be hard-pressed to have the foundation he has. Considering the time he spends, this is truly unprecedentedly high efficiency.
At the same time, due to such frequent deaths, he was able to quickly comprehend the knowledge left by Osiris and Jergal, and even the legacy of Nagash.
His share of the origin of death has therefore become higher and higher, and is now second only to Kelanvor and Qingjia, and almost equal to Bane.
Naturally, the other gods of death were the first to notice such an obvious change.
For this reason, not only Qingjia and Kelanwo expressed concern, but even Ben couldn't help but send an envoy and proposed to join forces with Li Wei.
Because Ben knows very well that if it is just a simple mass death of demons, it is absolutely impossible to achieve this, because almost all the demons who die in the bottomless abyss will be swallowed by the bottomless abyss and used to create new ones.
Demons and gods basically cannot benefit from it.
Livy must have received knowledge about the origin of death from Jergal, if he could have acquired this knowledge as well.
Although Ben was not a good person, Levi thought about it and decided to reach a certain degree of cooperation with him.
As long as there is still strife, hatred, tyranny and fear in this world, Bane will continue to gain strength. As a veteran evil god, he is much more difficult to deal with than Cyric.
Moreover, they are also evil gods who use emotions. If the four gods of chaos are revived, maybe Levi will also need Bane's power.
As for rental fees, pensions for those killed in battle, commissions, etc., Li Wei clearly marked the prices.
The gods could not spend a penny, just send incarnations to sit in charge, or preside over the attack, and then pay the fee to Li Wei after harvesting.
Together with Li Wei, they can continue to attack Yeenoghu's territory, or they can attack other nearby layers individually or in teams. Li Wei will not interfere too much.
Even the New Gods can easily suppress ordinary demon lords as long as they are willing to spend some power.
In the past, the gods rarely attacked the Abyss, not only because they knew that the Abyss could not be completely purified, but also because there was no benefit.
But if they know how constructors and energy angels are made, even if they can't let energy angels and others grow at the lowest cost like Levi, who relies on Heaven Mountain and the underworld, they will definitely take action.
.
Levi has also thought about it. After a while, after his own advantage is completely determined, and each god can have dozens or millions of constructors and energy angels under his command, Sigma, the Red Knight and Zhen
The Dragon God, as well as Tyr, Esun, Mielikki, etc., can also be included in this list.
Even if Anhe and Seth are willing to pay a sufficient price, it is not impossible for Levi to share this power with them.
Of course, the efficiency will definitely be different whether there is the God of Death as a helper, and when dealing with gods with different relationships with him, there will definitely be a more obvious difference in the proportion of commissions required by Li Wei.
But in general, Li Wei still hopes to make this cake bigger. If a hundred gods participate in this huge plan and launch a fierce attack on a hundred layers of bottomless abyss at the same time, even if each god only gives him 1%
The commission will add up to an astronomical figure.
And even if Livi shared his knowledge with other gods completely and unconditionally, it would be almost impossible for them to truly catch up with Livi in this regard.
Because Heaven Mountain is unique, as long as the maids of Heaven are in it, they will continue to become stronger, followed by the power of darkness and death in the underworld.
As for other planes, and even the kingdom of gods, the efficiency in this regard is obviously much worse.
After signing a series of contracts, the gods were very excited and returned to their respective kingdoms to make corresponding preparations and select targets suitable for attack.
Even Lilith is no exception, because the cost of creating constructors and energy angels is negligible.
What's more, what she values especially is that these two existences can move across planes, which is fundamentally different from the petitioners in the Kingdom of God.
Now Li Wei mainly uses them for battle, but in fact they can also be used to travel to many other planes to spread the glory of God.
This alone means that no god will ignore it.
Before leaving, Lilith reminded Levi: "Levi, some vampires are holding a ceremony in Sylvania, and they seem to want to resurrect Manfred's nominal parents, Vlad and Isabella.
Are you interested in going and watching the excitement?"
Levi chuckled and shook his head: "Forget it, I don't have time to pay attention to Manfred anymore."
Manfred was once a strong enemy, but after Levi became a god, Manfred immediately became very well-behaved, and even took the initiative to send envoys several times to offer gifts to the Dread Rock. The purpose was obvious, that is, not to
I hope Li Wei will remember the conflicts that happened between them.
Li Wei was not that petty, after all, it was the other party who suffered the loss at that time.
But now, he is busy with clergy, fields, etc. In comparison, Manfred is a legendary vampire. Even if he is still majestic in Sylvania, what does it mean?
Lilith, on the other hand, should still remember that even if Vlad's resurrection was not organized by her, she definitely let him go intentionally, just to cause some trouble for Manfred.
Lilith also smiled: "Okay, then I will contact Lucia later. Maybe after Vlad is resurrected, we can set up a trap for Dracula."
Dracula was modeled by Rose based on the Devourer of Elves. Although at present, Dracula, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, is of no use at all, and seems to have gradually escaped Rose's actual control, but as long as he lives
, is always a hidden danger, and Lilith doesn’t want to keep this hidden danger.
Levi nodded: "If you need me for anything, just ask."
After Lilith left, Levi looked at Penthesilea and Donna and asked them about the progress of combat priesthoods and fields.
They looked at each other, and finally Penthesilea spoke: "Levi, I was about to tell you that in order to understand the relevant power as much as possible, my incarnation has been staying in the bottomless abyss. I feel it.
The abyss is corrupting me."
"And I have a vague feeling that the longer I stay, the harder it will be to purify this corrosion. Maybe one day, my incarnation will suddenly collapse."
Donna also nodded, indicating that she felt the same way, but because her level was not deep enough, the corrosion was much lighter, but the essence was the same.
And even if they regularly rotate with other incarnations, they still need to spend a lot of power to cleanse the corrosion suffered by the incarnation.
"I know, this is something that will happen sooner or later. If the Abyss was really so easy to conquer, it wouldn't have remained until now."
"The key to the question is, Penthesilea, how is your progress? Can the power you will gain offset the loss of the incarnation?"
There have been many gods who have tried to completely purify the Abyss, but without exception, they all ended in failure, and even one pantheon of gods was destroyed because of this.
Therefore, Levi never thought about completely eradicating the bottomless abyss from the beginning. All he wanted was the soul fragments.
Penthesilea also felt a little headache: "According to the intensity of the current war, I am sure to understand the relevant power, but I am afraid that I may really ruin 1-2 combat incarnations."
Levi pondered for a moment: "Then do it, I will help you prepare the fragments of the godhead and the crystallization of the divine power."
Illidan and Imrik are both poor people, and they have just chosen to buy on credit, but Lilith and Yuebow are both truly rich women, so Levi still has a lot of things on hand.
Coupled with the gains during this period, it is even enough to take his godhood level to a higher level. Part of it is used to create the incarnation of Penthesilea, which is nothing at all.
Penthesilea smiled and didn't say much. With the relationship between her and Li Wei, there was no need to talk nonsense.
After discussing some more details, everyone was ready to disperse. The whole world was in turmoil now, but for these new gods, it was a rare opportunity. They must seize the time and work hard.
But suddenly, Levi received an urgent message from Tire. He was already outside Paradise Mountain and was in urgent need of Levi's help.
Levi suddenly felt a little surprised. Although he was a powerful god, Tyr had always been a very polite existence. Even if he came to visit his weak god, he would definitely say hello in advance. What kind of unexpected situation did he encounter?
Hair situation?
The next moment, Tyr, who received the approval, flew over in the direction of Levi with great urgency.
While flying, a slightly shrill female voice began to echo throughout the entire Heavenly Mountain: "Let me go, you damn false gods. The Supreme Lord Cyric will one day destroy all false gods.
!”
Hearing this, everyone, including Levi, Donna, Isis and Serekite who had just left, were all shocked for a moment.
The next moment, they all gathered together, and then they saw Ilmat using the red rope transformed by divine power to bind a struggling immortal goddess - the goddess of justice - Valena, and Thom also joined forces beside him.
suppress.
It's just that the usually heroic female warrior's pretty face is full of distortion and madness at this moment, and her eyes looking at Tier and the others are full of hatred.
More importantly, Li Wei noticed that her godhead level was 2, which was her body, not her incarnation!
"Your Highness Tyr, what happened?"
His usual calmness was no longer there, and Tyr's face was somewhat bitter. He sighed: "It's Cyric. He seems to have regained some of his sanity. He used the priesthood of lies to carry out the Cyric Sutra that caused him to go crazy."
Reinvention.”
"Now it can not only take on the appearance of a scroll, but can also be transformed into armor, a helmet, a weapon or a staff, etc."
"Valena was accidentally tricked, and ended up like this. She was obviously using an avatar at the time, but in the end, her true body was also implicated."
Thom next to him also had a look of resentment: "Damn Cyric gave Valenna an order to destroy her kingdom of God, and then go to see him in her own body!"
Just think about it and you will know that if Valena really does this, what will be waiting for her?
I am afraid that not only will her godhood and priesthood be taken away by Cyric, Cyric may also use her to deceive other gods. After she loses her use value, Cyric will probably not kill her directly.
, but to restore her sanity and let her see clearly what she has done.
If that were the case, even if she barely survived, Valena herself would probably collapse.
Ilmat also had a sad look on his face: "Even though our Kingdom of God is very close, due to the sudden incident, one-fifth of Valenna's Kingdom of God was still destroyed, and now we can only forcefully trap her.
, we tried all the powers, but to no avail."
While they were saying these words, Valena did not stop. She was either praising Cyric or cursing Tyr and Levi. It seemed that she believed from the bottom of her heart that Cyric was the only true god.
.
"I see!"
Levi nodded vigorously and immediately passed this information to all the gods familiar with him, reminding them to pay attention to any suspicious targets.
Compared with other gods, many of our own beings are not that rich in experience and experience. In addition, they have a grudge against Cyric, so they will easily become the opponent's target.
Li Wei was not too worried about Lilith, Yue Gong and the others. Although they looked innocent, in fact it was not an exaggeration to say that they were cunning and cunning.
Especially Lilith, who has been wearing a vest for so long and still has such strong hidden strength, she is unique among the gods.
But Imric and Khalida are probably the easiest to fall prey to.
The former is a bit proud, and the latter is a bit like a queen. If Cyric sends people to pay tribute as admirers, they might actually accept it.
Lilith and others quickly responded, saying that they had indeed encountered some suspicious situations recently, but they had not been tricked.
Khalida and Imric are also safe and sound. They have been busy with Levi recently, so how can they have time to deal with the mysterious person of unknown origin?
Illidan, who has a relatively cold and decisive personality, and Sobek, a veteran, even immediately took action to kill each other when they saw something was wrong.
As for Anubis, Serekite, etc., they have not been encountered yet. The main reason is that the scope of their activities is too secretive and ordinary people cannot find them at all. If someone really finds them, they will definitely have doubts about this.
.
Hearing this, Levi felt a little calmer and warned Donna and the others again. Then Levi activated his purification priesthood.
Unfortunately, when the light dissipated, nothing changed. Instead, Valena looked at Levi with a mocking face:
"What? Are you trying to deceive me with false memories? But my loyalty to the supreme master Cyric will never waver!"
Tyr and Tom's faces became even more ugly. Didn't even Levi's purification priesthood have any effect?
Levi did not feel any surprise. Cyric holds the priesthood of lies. Looking at the current situation, Valenna may have implanted false memories or been brainwashed by Cyric's lies.
This is not a curse at all, so how can it be purified? Tyr and the others are probably suffering from a sudden illness and have sought medical treatment indiscriminately.
Fortunately, Li Wei had already expected it, so he had just contacted the dwarf god system to remind the other party of this matter and to ask for help from the other party.
Then he also reminded Sigma, Mielikki, etc., the gods who were familiar with him.
Cyric is probably at a dead end now. With his chaotic and crazy nature, it would be fine if he doesn't take action. Once he takes action, he will definitely want to cause real chaos.
If he were to change places, he would probably cast a wider net, catch more fish, and choose the best ones.
At the same time, he also comforted Tire and the others: "Don't worry too much. Cyric has now fallen to a weak divine power. His power of lies must have limits. I have already asked Her Highness Berenee Truesilver for help."
Tyr and Tom were also refreshed, because they also remembered that the mother of the dwarf gods possesses a unique priesthood - honesty, which corresponds to lies.
In the past, it was because the other party mostly showed its strength in war, craftsmanship, brewing, etc., so even Tire and the others did not think of it for a while.
If the other party is really willing to help, there is still a high chance that Valena can be rescued.
Tire immediately said seriously: "Your Highness Levi, no matter whether Valenna returns to normal or not, I owe you a favor."
Tom and Ilmat, who were next to him, also followed suit. They, the Three Saints of Justice, always face everything together.
In fact, if this incident hadn't happened today, maybe Valena would have become the fourth member soon, and it would all be blamed on damn Cyric!
Thom even said bluntly: "We have sent avatars to track Cyric's traces, and we also specially invited some reinforcements."
Tyr also nodded slowly: "Yes, this time will be the last madness of the Dark Sun. I will ensure that the chaos caused by Cyric ends completely."
"Your Highness Li Wei, I hope you can witness his fall with us!"
