In Diablo's world view, the creation of the human world is actually a form of shelter, surviving in the gap between heaven and hell. Not to mention hell, even heaven once wanted to destroy the human world, using the archangels
Many angels led by Imparis regard human beings as abominations contaminated by the blood of demons and must be destroyed. Tyrell was also one of those who advocated destruction, but he later came to the world and was moved by the various spirits of human beings.
, then he changed his mind and devoted himself to protecting the human world.
The specific ins and outs will not be described in detail here. Those who are interested can read the background novels. Here I will talk about one thing - the power of plane suppression in the human world!
Why are the three demon gods Diavolo, Baal, and Mephisto so miserable? There is obviously no problem with the serial torture plan. They have even deceived Heaven and most of the demons, because they were about to succeed when they saw it, but suddenly discovered that,
When I entered the human world, my strength was greatly damaged, and I fell below the strength of a demon!
What a tragedy!
The most important thing for the Hell Demon Clan to survive is their strength. They prey on the weak and respect the strong. Once the Three Demon Gods of Hell are no longer Demon Gods, they will immediately fall into disrepair and be hunted down everywhere by humans like dogs. Finally, they will all be sealed!
This is the demon from hell entering the human world. So if we change the direction, what will happen when humans enter the demon world from hell?
It's very simple, it will also be suppressed!
This kind of suppression is not intentional, but the damage caused by the ever-present corrosive power of hell to mortal beings. The heroic Rogge archer of a generation only fought Diavolo in the dungeon surrounded by demonic energy.
After returning from victory, he was haunted by demonic energy, and finally died in pain. Not to mention going directly to hell!
Fortunately, this kind of suppression is not without a solution. In the fourth act of the main plot, the adventurers rush into hell to destroy Mephisto's soul stone and kill Diavolo. Tyrell is needed to help them
Use the magic of heaven on your body to resist the power of erosion, so that you can face the most difficult challenges with full strength!
However, this kind of heavenly magic light protection has a strict duration, if it is endless. The war of original sin has long since conquered hell, and there are not so many things now. To put it bluntly, it is an additional challenge time, plus
The task becomes more difficult!
Under the setting of space. Due to the chaos of time and space in hell, it is impossible to use the scroll of return to the city. Once the light protection on the reincarnator disappears, he must return to the demon fortress to let Tyrell replenish it, and it cannot exceed three times at most, so
If the three main plot tasks cannot be completed within the specified time, there will be no chance of completion!
Racing against time in a harsh hell environment and facing countless hell monsters is not an easy task. This is also the second reason why many people are not interested in Diavolo. In comparison.
Although there are many challenges in Fisto's temple city Trevank, the difficulty is undoubtedly much lower!
But don’t forget, the Tianxing team will definitely go to hell in this trip to the world of Diablo, because whether it is collecting the last two pieces of the missing pages of the combination of the words of the runes or the freezing of the river of fire required for the double slaying of the demons,
Aura energy needs to be obtained by going to hell. Moreover, the greater the danger in space, the higher the benefits. The income in hell is much higher than that in Kurast Seaport. Now Baal is still in the seal. The barbarians in the fifth act
I don’t know if there will be missions in the Holy Land. Hell is most likely the last stop in the dark world!
In view of this, Gao Xucai so urgently asked Bergstein whether he could forge equipment that could withstand the erosion of hell. If this hell demon general could really forge such equipment, it would be of great help to the Tianxing team on their journey to hell.
, simply immeasurable!
"I'll die, uncle!" Bergstein, who was strung up by the Five Emperors' Head Sword, didn't understand the situation clearly for a moment and wanted to resist. Although he was not suppressed by the power of the human world, his original strength was relatively weak.
Low, the first level of the third level of difficulty. It is still weaker than Tatum. Except for being caught off guard at the beginning and teasing Gao Xu, how could he really be Gao Xu's opponent? He was quickly defeated by three strikes, five divisions and two.
Down!
"Kill me if you dare!" Bergstein, whose limbs were twisted and his fighting ability was broken, was still stubborn. His words were not harsh words. Demons can be resurrected anyway. The lower the strength of the demons, the more likely they are to be resurrected.
Come on, twenty years later there will be another good man, who can we be afraid of?
However, the next moment, Gao Xu used the Tianhua Divine Sword to teach him a lesson: infinite resurrection is not necessarily the most awesome thing. Many ruthless moves can make it...
Life is not as good as death!
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Even the Hell Demon God Diavolo had his original magic power destroyed by the Tianhua Divine Sword, which has an incomparable ability to restrain the demons. Bergstein was a mere demon general and was horrified.
Not only did he see his body being shattered piece by piece, but he also felt that his original magic power was sharply reduced, and he suddenly howled in agony.
The original magic power is not only related to the strength of a demon, but also closely related to their resurrection. If the original magic power is completely destroyed by the opponent, the resurrection time will be extended several times or even dozens of times. If the original magic power is almost non-existent,
, then prepare to stay in the Black Abyss for thousands of years...
"If you have something to say, if you have something to say, don't kill me, don't kill me!" At this moment, Bergstein finally gave in. He would be more ferocious and ruthless to these hell demons who do all kinds of evil than him.
, otherwise it will not help at all.
Gao Xu asked Tifa to use Mako magic to treat Bergstein so as not to really kill him. He first took out Tarasha's Starlight from his waist and threw it to Tuoba Yu'er, and then put the Horadric Iron
He held the hammer in his hand, weighed it, and said with a smile: "Can you tell us how you obtained this Horadric Malus?"
"Horadik Malus? Hey, this was not made by Malus, but Kula, Horadik Kula!" Bergstein weakly began to explain the origin of the hammer. Because Westerners named it
It is customary to add one's own name to things to show honor. Horadric Mallus was actually made by a member of the Horadric sect named Mallus, and Kula was Mallus's apprentice.
After summing up the experience of the master and the various shortcomings of the Hammer of Mallus, I forged my own Hammer of Kura. A better person is better than a good person!
It is not surprising that the apprentice surpasses the master. Just like the home appliances on earth, the functions must be monotonous and simple at the beginning. Later, by understanding the customer's use and market demand, and adding new and more user-friendly functions, Horadik
?Kula's performance is stronger than Horadric Malus, and not even a little bit stronger!
The original owner of Horadric Kula was naturally not Bergstein. After the disintegration of the Horadrim sect, most of the magical alchemy props were entrusted to allied organizations. Charsi of the Sisters of the Blind Eye obtained the Horadric sect.
Radek Mallus became a famous blacksmith, while Horadric Kula fell into the hands of the Hell Demon Lord Azmodan, and was later handed over to Bergstein, who could best use it...
"No wonder!" Gao Xu nodded slightly. Bergstein was able to forge equipment that could resist the power of the human world. This Horadric hammer played a major role, but just think about it.
, this kind of equipment must not be produced on a large scale, otherwise, hell would have attacked the human world long ago.
"What do you want the Horadric Cube for?" After explaining the question about the hammer, Gao Xu asked about the cube again. From Bergstein's tone, he was extremely excited when he discovered the Horadric Cube, and he was obviously very interested in it.
There was a pressing need. What would a blacksmith do with one of alchemy's supreme masterpieces, the Horadric Cube?
Bergstein's eyes flashed. There was a hint of greed on his face, and he said slowly: "My blacksmithing skills have reached their peak, and there is no room for further improvement. But if I can combine them with alchemy, I can break through the shackles."
, the hope of achieving godhood. What’s more, the Horadric Cube was created at that time for the purpose of coordinating with the Horadric Hammer!”
After a pause, without waiting for Gao Xu to ask, Bergstein added: "Don't you want equipment to resist the magic of hell? Originally, it couldn't be achieved with only the Horadric Hammer, but with the Horadric Cube, it is no longer possible.
Difficult matter!"
At this time, Bergstein would be foolish if he still couldn't see that Gao Xu and others were not Mephisto's puppets, but human warriors disguised as lurkers. Under Tifa's treatment, the Tianhua Divine Sword's wounds
After recovering slightly, he began to talk freely, completely different from the ferocious one just now!
Cruelty is the nature of the demons, but it is not the only basis for it. When brutality is of no use, the demons will also use their brains. Bergstein is working hard to show his value at this moment.
"So, you are willing to forge special equipment for us?" Gao Xu smiled slightly and said with great interest.
"Yes, yes!" Bergstein nodded repeatedly, his huge body lying on the ground, looking weak and humble. The next moment, he stared at Gao Xu carefully, then looked at Diao Chan, and thought for a moment,
Suddenly he said, "Not only can I help you forge special equipment, but I can also make full use of the Horadric Cube. Do you have equipment that you want to combine, but you are holding back because of the repellency between the equipment?"
"Huh?!" As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other. It was said that they had obtained the Horadric Cube for a long time. They had naturally studied this famous alchemy artifact and specifically asked Deckard Cain for advice.
, but unfortunately it was finally discovered that the Tianxing team could not use this magical thing for the time being!
The function of the Horadric Cube is to synthesize, such as combining parts to create a complete Horadric Staff, or turning several low-level items into one high-level item.
The latter is what reincarnations really need. For example, if you put two pieces of golden equipment into a block and add specific catalytic items, there is a certain chance of synthesizing dark gold equipment!
This is obviously much higher than the cost of the legendary amulet? Kidd's luck. However, the legendary amulet is not accessible to ordinary reincarnators at all. The Horadric Cube is not too difficult. The reincarnators want to upgrade the grade of the item.
, the Horadric Cube is still reliable!
Of course, since synthesis has a success rate, the penalty for failure must be considered. Failure to synthesize here will not completely swallow up the equipment like a black-hearted online game, but catalytic items are not wanted, and the equipment may be reduced.
Grade!
Therefore, reincarnators in Europe and the United States have systematically studied the success rate of the Horadric Cube. They found that the biggest factor restricting the success of synthesis is the repellency between items. For example, if you put a sword and a knife in it, the synthesis will definitely fail.
Yes, only two sword-type weapons can have a chance of success. The more similar the materials and characteristics of the two long swords are, the greater the chance of success. However, they cannot be exactly the same. If they are two identical weapons, they will be synthesized.
The weapon attributes will be slightly improved, but the grade cannot be changed. After calculation, you will still lose money!
In general, the combination of Horadric cubes and fusion skills are very similar, requiring common points and differences. Seeking common ground while reserving differences, the knowledge inside is quite complex.
As a result, the Tianxing team was in tragedy.
In terms of their background, they are better than the others, and they are considered good among the three difficulty teams. In terms of equipment and props, they have a lot of idle ones. Gao Xu searched every world too hard, and they were destroyed before.
Three teams at the top of the second difficulty level and countless patriots have produced a lot of unused items. If the synthesis materials are definitely sufficient, the key point is that there are no specific catalytic items!
This type of catalytic items is the biggest factor in ensuring the success rate, because if the materials of different weapons are to be very close, the probability is very low. At this time, catalytic items are needed. For reconciliation, it is like a catalyst in a chemical reaction.
, it doesn’t seem particularly important, but not having it will cause the experiment to fail...
The Tianxing team has not prepared such catalytic items.
After all, the Dead Soul Team is not a direct descendant like Tianxing Babu. They do what Gao Xu tells them. They answer the questions asked by Gao Xu truthfully. However, they will not take the initiative to remind Gao Xu of the omissions he did not expect due to lack of information.
Fundamentally, the relationship between the two parties is just about using each other, and there is no emotion at all.
After discovering that he had missed the important factor of the Horadric Cube, Gao Xu sighed, but became more determined to turn it into an identification item and bring it out of the plot world. It doesn't matter that he can't use the magical effect of the Horadric Cube for the time being.
I'll take it out and use it later!
However, it is better to improve the strength of reincarnations sooner rather than later. Without the present, how can we talk about the future? From Bergstein's tone, can he act as a catalytic item to solve the problem of repulsion?
"Oh?" Gao Xu was very pleasantly surprised, but his face was calm and he asked calmly, "To prove your words, let me see what ability you have to solve repulsion!"
"No problem!" Bergstein said confidently and said to Diao Chan, "Please give me your weapon, I need to confirm it at close range!"
Diao Chan looked at Gao Xu, and after receiving his approval, she handed the golden jade hammer to Bergstein. Bergstein carefully stroked the lines on it, feeling the energy inside, and exclaimed: "Magical weapon, this forging method
It’s something I’ve never heard of before, it seems to be natural, it’s really wonderful!”
God-given weapons are naturally not comparable to ordinary soldiers. After admiring the Golden Jade Hammer, Bergstein turned to Gao Xu and said, "Please show me your weapons, sir!"
"My weapon, could it be..." Gao Xu's eyes showed a strange light. He did not choose the First Sword of the Five Emperors, but took out the Wushuang Tianjing that had not been used for a long time from the heraldic space!
Unfortunately, this powerful weapon of the unparalleled ghost god Lu Bu has been used less and less recently. The reason is very simple. The unparalleled power-up skill corresponding to the second difficulty level is about to be eliminated!
Gao Xu is not an unparalleled general. He only relies on the power of weapons. Even if he uses a purple upgrade stone to upgrade the unparalleled halberd to level three purple, it will not increase the power of his unparalleled power-charging skills much. A trade that outweighs the gains and losses will not be done.
Do it, not to mention that the purple level-up stones that are two to three are extremely valuable and need to be used in many places!
To sum up, Wusang Tianji is not far away from being completely laid off.
But Diao Chan is different. For a Wushuang general, weapons are their most important and basic enhancement. There is no one. If the Wushuang Heavenly Halberd can be synthesized with the Jinli Jade Hammer, the ability of the Jinli Jade Hammer will be greatly improved. For Diao Chan,
The meaning may be a qualitative improvement!
So this time, no matter how deep the Gao Xu City Palace was, when Bergstein confirmed that the material of the Wushuang Heavenly Halberd was similar to that of the Golden Jade Hammer, he couldn't help but ask: "How can you combine them into a high-grade weapon?"
How old is it?”
"Then it depends on which one you choose as the main one, sir. If you choose this long weapon as the main one, it will be a little more difficult, but you are 50% sure. If you use these hammers as the main one, it will be easy. 70% to 80% of it is definitely possible!
"Bergstein didn't know Gao Xu's thoughts and needs. He took it for granted that Gao Xu was the main one in this group of people. If he wanted to combine weapons, Gao Xu's weapons would be the main ones. He was absolutely sure.
"Very good, synthesize it immediately, I look forward to your performance!" Gao Xu nodded, but Bergstein looked embarrassed and spread his hands, "Sir, it is my honor to serve you, but it is a pity that in this desolate place
In the wild, it is undoubtedly impossible to complete such a complicated task with just a hammer. I must return to the blacksmith's room in Cui Fankene, where there are complete tools!"
As if he was afraid that Gao Xu and others would misunderstand, Bergstein immediately expressed his loyalty after finishing his words: "Young man still has some status in Cui Fank. He can mobilize the elements of the Zakarum sect and give the adults enough room for action.
Adults can watch the whole process, I dare not slack off at all!"
"Well, what you said makes sense!" Gao Xu nodded noncommittally, then picked up Bergstein, with purple brilliance in his eyes, and said every word, "Look into my eyes!"
Following Gao Xu's words, Bergstein could not help but look over, and immediately fell deeply into the deep gaze that he could not extricate himself from.
Ten minutes later.
As soon as Bergstein's confused eyes cleared, he saw that everything around him had not changed. Only the Golden Jade Hammer and the Wushuang Tianji disappeared. Before he could ask what happened, Gao Xu's calm voice rang out:
"There is no blacksmith room specially prepared for you in Cui Fankeng. There is only a punishment room, where the Zakarum sect once secretly punished apostates. You placed the tools in it three days ago to absorb the blood and
The aura of the wronged soul, what was an unintentional act at that time, has now become a clever trick that can deceive us!"
"The punishment room is heavily organized and well-defended, and it is not suitable for blacksmithing at all. Once you tell those Zakarum believers, change your solitary style and bring us people with you, they will soon know that there are
Question, when the time comes, the dragnet will catch us all!"
"If we haven't been fooled by this, you will play tricks when modifying the weapons. During the synthesis, not only will you explode two weapons, but you will also damage the Horadric cube, creating a big chaos. While we are rescuing the weapons and cubes, you will commit suicide.
escape!"
"This is already a very good plan for the hellish demons who are born with weak brains. Please tell me about the painstaking planning for this..."
