Melissa, who is well aware of the grievances between Raven, Ladugue and Kurtumack, takes the task assigned by Raven as an important challenge.
The devil never deceives people, at least the part of the contract that requires the devil to perform is true, but he cannot imagine the price he will pay, that is, the person being deceived is too stupid.
At least when she's not facing Raven, Melissa is a big devil who strictly abides by the devil's creed.
She has a lot to do, but not much. How to grasp the scale is the biggest test of her wisdom as the devil king.
Melissa stood outside the gods and was immediately noticed by the kobold god. However, he did not let Melissa in immediately. The lawful evil gods who live in Baator Hell are very strange. Unless they are suddenly interested, they are very strange.
The young god is willing to join in the devil's conspiracy.
These gods have maintained a wonderful symbiotic relationship with Asmodeus's demon army for countless thousands of years, neither paying rent nor interfering with each other.
"Sixth King? Is something wrong?"
"Can I go into the Kingdom of God and speak?"
"If you are not afraid of chaos..."
"Not afraid." Melissa soon regretted it.
Because there is a civil war going on in the Kingdom of the Kobold God, and the scenes are so exciting that Melissa almost thought she had strayed into a bloody battle in the abyss.
There are not many places in Kurtumak's kingdom that can allow a normal human-sized creature to pass through. It seems that after the disaster suffered by Kozev last time, Kurtumak even used thoughts that are difficult for outsiders to understand.
His entire Kingdom of God has turned into a tangle of countless intricate tunnels that are only 1 meter high at most.
If the tunnel route map were drawn with lines, it would be a mess.
At this moment, every kobold petitioner is frantically attacking their own people.
Here, a kobold smashed a companion's head into a rotten watermelon with a pickaxe as fast as the wind. Over there, it was shot to death by another kobold with a small crossbow, and fell down wailing and screaming.
Seconds later, the victor was killed by two kobold petitioners who seemed to be brothers. Then he was killed by a new group of four.
These short petitioners are undoubtedly the best among the kobolds. But they kill each other mercilessly.
This was not a simulated battle or anything, the loser turned into a ball of soul molecules and disappeared. Kurtumak didn't mind letting the loser return to the mother river of souls.
No kobold paid any attention to Melissa. They were all trying to kill their companions.
As Melissa walked, she watched this amazing cannibalism with great interest.
Suddenly, the bell rang.
Many kobold petitioners who were about to successfully kill each other seemed to be under petrification magic. They suddenly froze their bodies. Soon they pulled up those opponents who had almost become victims, and suddenly started jumping and laughing, using the magic of Meili.
They were happily talking to each other in kobold language that Sa didn't understand.
Finally arrived at the central palace of Kurtumak.
The kobold god Kurtumak looks like a very large kobold. He is about one and a half meters tall, with mottled green and black scales all over his body, and the end of his long rat-like tail.
It also has a poisonous stinger.
Today seems to be some kind of festival. He is also wearing a gold chainmail.
"Oh, I made you laugh. It was the Cleansing Festival of my Kingdom of God just now."
"Purge Day?"
"There is no way, my people are too capable of living and die quickly. If I don't use this cruel method to determine the strongest winner and eliminate the weak petitioners, even if my kingdom of God is empty, at most
It will be packed within a week.”
Melissa was a little dumbfounded.
"Okay, Sixth King. Although I'm not particularly busy, I don't want to waste time, so let's be honest."
"I heard that the people of Rose have lost contact with Rose." Melissa smiled.
"Rose fell?" Kurtumak was quite surprised.
"It can also be a trap."
"So what?" Kurtumak remained unmoved.
"Aren't you going to give it a try? It seems that many ethnic groups in the Underdark that are enslaved by the dark drow are preparing to launch a rebellion."
Kurtumak felt a little bit about his people: "Oh. Quite interesting."
"Are you interested in joining in?" Melissa blinked.
The kobold god sat on his throne in a comfortable posture: "Although I hate Rose, the key is what can I get, and what do you want to get?"
"Me? The desperate soul of a powerful legendary peak drow matron. I think it will be sold for a high price in Baator Hell."
Devils are all masters at playing with souls. The soul of a mistress from a hostile camp, if there is a lot of despair as seasoning, can indeed sell for a sky-high price among high-level devils and great devils.
Kurtumak believed it.
"What about me?"
Melissa showed an illusion of an object, which was a dirty cloak, but after seeing the pattern on the cloak, Kurtumack immediately recognized the object.
It was the king's cloak of a dwarf kingdom in the Underdark in the past. Since that kingdom was destroyed by Lolth's drow army, this cloak also became Lolth's trophy.
Melissa smiled and said in a seductive tone: "I know that this thing is now in the treasure house of Menzoberranzan, the capital of Rose's favorite drow elf. Now there are two powerful beings, ready to light up and hide.
Attack Menzoberranzan. If you are willing to issue an oracle and ask all the kobolds enslaved by the drow to cooperate, then once Menzoberranzan is conquered, this cloak will be yours."
"Ah! The direct descendant of Garl, the golden cloak of Wright, the cloak wrapped with the ghosts of fifty thousand dwarves. Hahaha! I like it! Okay, I agreed. Anyway, even if it fails, the worst is to hold a few more purge festivals.
that is."
While Melissa was taking action, Raven was taking action too.
In the history of the previous life, this event was called the 'War of the Spider Queen'. In this battle, Rose could be said to have conquered all with one general. If we follow the trajectory of history, then two months later, Raven will face a more powerful
The more terrifying Rose, and Shar, who took advantage of the opportunity to profit and began to soar in power.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Raven.
Raven knew that Rose was playing with fire. In fact, he was also playing with fire. But in order to pull chestnuts out of the fire this time, the actors from the previous incident... were really not qualified.
Raven decided to play a big one.
Of course, to be on the safe side, he used an incarnation for the first time after becoming a god.
Incarnation is a very weird feeling. The feeling of having two first-person perspectives. At first, Raven was extremely uncomfortable with it, so he had to let his body sleep in the Kingdom of God in Phantom Knight City, and controlled all his incarnations mentally.
Keeping the coordinates firmly in mind, Raven struggled to transfer his avatar into the bottomless abyss.
It felt so bad to put my spiritual thoughts into that damn place. It was like throwing my good self into a quagmire full of black mud and diving nearly a hundred meters deep.
The avatar does not need to breathe, but the sticky nausea and accompanying feeling of weakness made Raven almost want to vomit.
The 45th floor of the bottomless abyss, the territory of Graz'zt, Lord of Darkness.
In that dark and gloomy world, for some unexplainable reason, everything will be soaked and suppressed, and everything will appear dim and pale.
To be honest, Raven wouldn't want to come if he could.
Almost as soon as the incarnation controlled by Raven's mind appeared, Graz'zt's incarnation appeared in front of Raven right after him.
"Oh? Isn't this Raven? Haha, why did you think of coming to see your old friend? Alas, when you took office as the God of Death and Shadow a few days ago, I was busy commanding the army to fight Demo Gauguin. I didn't have time to give you a message.
You bring a congratulatory gift. Sorry, sorry! I will make up for it later." The handsome Graz'zt is so approachable, people who don't know him would really think that Raven has such a deep friendship with this Dark Lord.
Raven also looked enthusiastic and spread his hands: "Who said we would feel like old friends at first sight? Some existences, even if they have never met, will hate each other for thousands of years. Some existences, even if they have not seen each other very often, will feel that the other person has me in their heart. You
Say no?"
"Yes! That's right!" Graz'zt loosened all six of his fingers and was about to give Raven a hug.
But Raven stopped Graz'zt in one sentence: "Rose has not died. If she succeeds this time, she will be promoted to a powerful god."
Graz'zt's body trembled.
Deception, conspiracy, murder, killing... This is the most disorderly bottomless abyss. Graz'zt, Lord of Darkness, has lived for so long and has been doing so well. What other existence has he not seen?
Graz'zt had his own undisclosed secret for distinguishing whether a being's words were true or false. He almost instantly believed that Raven was telling the truth.
A powerful Rose!
That's really terrible!
Rose suddenly became the tyrant of the Abyss, which is enough to make the devil disgusted and have headaches. Now it is suddenly heard that Rose will be promoted once she succeeds?
"Is there any specific news? Don't worry, I won't treat Bo's good friend badly."
Sensitively noticing Graz'zt's title, Raven secretly laughed in his heart but refused to tell the truth.
"Rose is preparing to drastically change her life and soul form." When dealing with those demon lords who have become spirits, the most important thing is not to tell lies. But how to use 70% truth to induce the other party in the direction you want?
That's the trick.
"Then what?"
"Then I hope we can give Rose a hard time."
Graz'zt's handsome pupils suddenly narrowed, his long eyelashes drooped, and he narrowed his eyes into a single line.
"Good idea. What do you want me to do?"
"Pay attention to the Banre family and the chief mage."
Baenre! The oldest family in the city of Menzoberranzan, it is also the first family, the head of the ruling council, and its matron is equivalent to the position of high priest in other churches.
Logically speaking, this is something that you would notice even without being reminded. Why does Raven have to emphasize it?
Graz'zt knew that Raven was playing riddles, and also knew that Raven was unwilling to reveal more.
