Most of the demons in the abyss are from the first generation of demons that collapsed, and a few were created by the successors who were promoted later. The snake demon belongs to the latter.
Although it is not known which foreign god with the appearance of "snake" originally came from the broken origin, or whether it has any connection with another ring-garden serpent Jörmungandr in the Nine Realms.
In short, this kind of demon is indeed very adaptable to the environment of Tartarus. They are like the fire demons, taking root everywhere in the chaotic abyss.
So a split body was temporarily created in the form of the "eight-armed snake demon" with high-level blood among the snake demons, and the big snake used it to temporarily avoid the rejection of the will of the abyss.
Although it cannot do it with all its strength, it is enough if it is just to explore something... However, when the big snake crossed the border of hell and came to the [Wanyuan Plain], the snake's tail swam on the dark red land. Looking around, the big snake didn't know where to go for a while.
It came because of the inexplicable induction in its heart, but looking around, this induction could not help it find the exact direction in the chaotic time and space of the abyss.
After all, the power of the snake is far less than that of the spirit world, and the chaos of the abyss is far worse than that of the living world... So after wandering around aimlessly for a while, the snake finally regretted its decisive action.
It thought that this mysterious feeling would become stronger and clearer, so it only needed to set off first. However, in fact, the omen was only a flash, and then there was no movement.
"Hiss..."
"What a trouble..."
Swish -
the sharp knife flashed, and the eight-armed snake demon killed a panicked demon.
A trace of malice flashed in his eyes. Although the feeling was gone now, since he had come out, he should do something before going back.
The breath of the abyss was as heavy as usual, and the [Ten Thousand Abyss Plains] was getting bigger and bigger. With the idea in mind, the eight-armed snake demon immediately began to think about the target.
How about starting with the pursuer of this stupid demon? After all, it was strange. When did they also learn to flee...
"...Hmm?"
The
eight-armed demon raised his head and looked at the place where the demon had just come from.
There was a sudden rise of molten fire there. If nothing unexpected happened, it was the momentum of a demigod-level fire demon.
However, this was nothing special, and it was not the reason why the previous demon fled. What really caught the snake demon's attention was that not far from the fire demon, there was a weak figure emitting two god-level auras at the same time.
An order that was very different from the abyss came from her body, and it seemed to be a bait.
However, her enemies seemed to realize this, so they asked their men to chase on their behalf.
"This is... the elves between the underworld and the human world, a race that Erebus imitated from the dark elves in Svartalfheim. How could they appear here?"
The snake demon was greatly surprised when he saw this, but then a meaningful look flashed in his eyes.
If it was just a simple elf appearing here, there might be various reasons, but such an elf with two god-level auras was another matter.
Although the mysterious feeling disappeared, the snake now found another thing that deserved its attention.
There was nothing much to say about one of the auras, but the other one seemed to be a bit like Zeus on Mount Olympus...
"Being used as cannon fodder and abandoned to sneak into the abyss? Yes, this is indeed in line with Zeus' style."
"Plus the conflict between him and me before... Hehe, so, he actually came for me?"
Although he didn't have time to ask, just a glance, the snake had already guessed most of it.
What is Zeus going to do when he sneaked in secretly?
Is he going to contact his allies and kill the spirit world together... Or is he going to do the easy things first and then the difficult ones, trying to wipe out this opponent who has repeatedly caused trouble for the other side?
"No matter what it is, it is very rude to enter someone else's house without visiting the owner first... Of course, as the half-master of the abyss-hell, I will forgive you generously."
"After all, you can be rude not to visit my master, but I cannot help but warmly entertain you, the guest - as the monarch of hell, I am very reasonable." "
Then, my dearest God King, where are you now?"
"Hehe..."
The malice in the smile was almost undisguised, and the eight-armed snake demon swam towards the place where the molten fire power erupted.
After it successfully "rescued the beauty", I think the dark elf should be very happy to pass on everything he knows in his soul to his savior.
"No matter where it is, Zeus, you must remember to wait for me, let me do my best to be a good host..."
Hiss...
The snake demon spit out its tongue, it is not the real body, and it is far from the idea of ignoring everything.
As a manifestation of evil thoughts, the big snake wants to do a lot more.
...
The ninth level of hell.
The temple where the Lord of the Nine Hells is.
There has been no change in tens of millions of years. In this palace that reproduced the scene before the pillar of heaven broke, almost at the same time when the snake created the incarnation, the monarch who was originally listening to the report with his eyes closed opened his eyes.
Asmodeus raised his hand slightly to stop Crius from summarizing the results of the battles in the [Shura Field] in the past hundred years.
His eyes passed through the restraints of the Nine Hells and fell on the snake that seemed to be sleeping with its eyes closed.
He could see that just now, the main will of the Ring Garden Serpent had left its body.
This does not mean that it has lost the ability to resist or lost its perception of the outside world. This is just a state similar to "sleeping".
Once it encounters external stimulation or encounters something major, it will immediately withdraw its will to stay away and let everything return to the original state.
This is not the first time that this has happened. Even Asmodeus himself has done it before.
If there must be any disadvantages, it may be that it will reduce its exploration of the outside world for a very short period of time.
"...After all, the outside world is the outside world. Within the realm under one's control, this actually has no effect."
"So in general, it is not a bad method to occasionally explore the movements of the abyss."
He spoke lightly, his expression calm and unchanged.
However, watching this scene, the Lord of the Nine Hells only felt that he had saved himself a lot of trouble. If the Serpent of the Courtyard had not suddenly gone out, he would have planned to go out recently.
As for the reason, it was due to a special letter sent to him by Mephistopheles in the human world.
Ever since he saw the image of the "World Destroyer" presented by Hermes last time, Asmodeus had told him to pay attention to this matter.
As a result, he did not get any news about the "World Destroyer", but instead received an unexpected letter.
"...Send an envoy to visit me and make a 'huge' deal with me..."
"...It can help me turn the situation around when facing the increasingly powerful Abyss, and even surpass the power of Typhon stolen by Zeus in one fell swoop..."
"Crius," Asmodeus smiled and asked, turning his head to look at his brothers and subordinates who followed him from the human world to the Abyss, "Do you think this is a kind invitation?"
"I don't know."
The voice was dull, perhaps because he had been stationed at the border between [Noisy Sky Tunnel] and [Shura Field] for many years, and he was often responsible for resisting the demons that broke into the interface.
Over the years, the former weather titan has become more and more calm.
In response to the Lord of the Nine Realms' inquiry, he only looked at the black letter in the other's hand and said no more.
Whether it was good intentions or bad intentions, it had nothing to do with him now.
Even though he had slaughtered countless demons over the years and purified their origins with the power of Nordrassil, Crius was still far from the pinnacle of powerful divine power.
Moreover, he knew that Asmodeus had already made a decision. After all, he would not die no matter what as he was in the Nine Hells, so no matter what, he could just listen to what the other party wanted to say.
For him, as long as it was not the Olympian pantheon led by Zeus, the cunning and rebellious son who was completely unworthy of a deal, there were not too many enemies in the entire Chaos world.
The only thing to worry about was that the other party bluntly said that he only wanted to communicate with Asmodeus alone, and there was no need for other people to know in the middle.
"Don't you know... If Mephisto was here, he would probably give me some long-winded analysis."
"But in the end, like you, he must have seen that I had already made a decision, so he would only dispel my concerns."
"Yes, since it was his invitation, I naturally have no reason to refuse... I just hope that he really came with sincerity, not just for deception and lies."
The main will of the snake is no longer there, so there is no need for him to separate his incarnation and stay away from hell. Turning his head to look at Crius, this is also the reason why he summoned him.
Although he didn't know what tricks the other party was playing, Asmodeus didn't intend to put his so-called messenger in hell at all.
So the most suitable meeting place is only the gate of hell, in the [Asura Field] where Crius is mainly guarding.
"Go."
"If someone comes, you can entertain them first... After all, no one knows how long Ryan will be out."
Although he didn't plan to do anything to betray his allies, it didn't mean that he had to do everything in front of the other party.
So Asmodeus didn't intend to refuse the other party's request for "secrets".
Comparable to Zeus's power improvement when he harnessed Typhon, this is no joke. Although it is highly likely that the other party is taking the lead, this is not necessarily all fake.
Even if it is exaggerated, as long as it can achieve one-third of the effect, the Lord of the Nine Hells feels that it is worth a try.
After swallowing the abyss for so many years, his increased power may not be comparable to that of a Typhon.
After all, even if the key to great divine power lies more in the symbol rather than the amount of source power, just looking at the power of the King of Ten Thousand Monsters that was released after being harnessed by Zeus, you can see how huge the gap between the two is.
You know, hell is different from other existences. Before reaching a certain limit, it is enough for him to only increase the source power.
Because strictly speaking, the symbols of Purgatory and the Abyss are now almost one. They are in a relationship of devouring each other, but they are also in a state of being mutually dependent.
As long as the overall power of the Nine Hells and the Abyss does not exceed a ratio of one to three, Asmodeus does not need to pay attention to the issue of "symbols".
In the final analysis, the "order" in the "chaos" is born to expand along with the expansion of chaos. Of course, correspondingly, it can never surpass the chaos itself by itself.
······
I didn't know that the reappearance of the memory fragments had attracted the attention of one of the goals of this trip, and I didn't know that the dark elves I used to attract the Fire Demon Lord fled in all directions, and even fled back to the [Wanyuan Plain] along the way they came, solving a small problem for my father who I hadn't seen for a long time.
At this moment, under the spring water of [Nibelungen], Zeus was still immersed in that old scene.
Unlike the last time, this time's viewing was far less short than the last time, and the area he experienced was not as narrow.
After leaving the border of the Kingdom of Mist, Zeus finally saw the body of the sacred tree that supported the Nine Worlds.
Stroking the hot [Mjolnir] on his waist, the handle of this artifact that was no less inferior to [Thunderbolt Arrow], and even more so, the God King was shocked for a moment.
Yggdrasil, the sacred tree that supports the world.
Although Zeus had prepared in advance after seeing its roots, the greatness of the World Tree still exceeded his imagination.
The God King even suspected that this sacred tree might have more power than the primitive gods of Chaos who were still active. Its existence itself was one of the biggest pillars of the Nine Realms. It
was just like Chaos's golden apple tree. Although it still had the ability to attract the attention of any god before the birth of its will, it was as fragile as a piece of thin paper in front of the true god.
Yggdrasil could support the Nine Realms, but the God King's body had the power to cut it
down . Of course, the premise was that there was enough time to kill it and no one could stop him.
"Perhaps this is the unique dignity of the gods... Whether it is a divine weapon, a spring containing various abilities, or a giant tree of heaven and earth with amazing power, their own power can only be reduced to tools no matter how strong it is."
Silently thinking, Zeus watched the foreign god he possessed climb along the branches of the sacred tree.
I don't know how long it took, with the change of time and space, he finally came to a familiar and unfamiliar place.
The reason why it was strange was because it was a foreign land.
The reason why it was familiar was because the rules of the world were very similar to those in the last dream.
"Jotunheim, the Fountain of Wisdom."
"This place where the foreign gods offered sacrifices... What, are you planning to do the same thing again?"
Zeus had no reaction to the fact that he was about to revisit the old place.
No matter how far Tartarus is, it is still Chaos's territory. No matter how he thinks, he has nothing to worry about.
Passing by the unfrozen river Ifinger, passing through the 'Iron Forest' between Midgard and Jotunheim.
Under the special time and space order of the Nine Realms, different interfaces are both divided and continuous.
Unlike when Llane arrived later, the long river between Asgard and Jotunheim is still flowing with turbulent water. Passing by it, Thor couldn't help but think of what he had done here.
Just like every time before, he was deceived by Loki and even lost his hammer for a time. Of course, he finally found it and gained the gloves and belt he has now.
Odin has also been here, as well as the chattering old giant. Even if there is only one head left, it can still make people irritable...
Looking at the tree roots that seem to hang from the cracks in the sky, Thor vaguely smelled an intoxicating fragrance.
That is the smell of Mimir's Spring, where his father Odin also gained the wisdom to be a king.
"The wisdom of a king... You often say that I am reckless. But if I do the same thing as you here, will I also have wisdom?"
Thor shook his head slightly, and he was very upset about this.
Ever since Odin obtained the [Rune] and supreme wisdom from here, almost all gods have coveted this spring of the eyes.
Although Thor doesn't care about wisdom and runes, he also wants to know something, such as how to solve the twilight of the gods.
Odin saw its beginning here, so as his son, he should naturally be able to see its end.
Thor thought so, and he did so, so this was not the first time he came here.
However, even though this ancient spring lost its guardian with the departure of Mimir, thousands of years have passed, and no one can do the same thing as Odin.
Drinking the spring water can cleanse the soul, but it cannot make people comprehend treasures like [Rune], and praying to the spring water will no longer allow anyone to see the scene of dusk.
So much so that some people believe that the gift given to the King of Asgard has exhausted the power of the spring, just as the birth of the primordial giant Ymir has almost exhausted most of the power of the creation spring.
Others believe that the Fountain of Wisdom actually has its own unique way of use, and the God King Odin hid this secret, and even set up a plan to have the head of the guardian be chopped off to keep it secret.
Thor asked Odin about this, but he didn't get any results.
That day, the one-eyed king just warned him solemnly.
If you want to get something, you are destined to lose something. If the gods try to spy on the secrets of the world, the world will return the gods to the dusk of despair.
"But I'm not a child anymore, father."
"I am the first warrior of the Nine Realms, and no one can defeat me under [Mjolnir]. Even if you want to warn me, you don't have to use this way to scare children."
With a low sigh, Thor reached out and pushed away the mist lingering around the Misty Forest.
Now he no longer needs the Fountain of Wisdom, because Odin has found a way to stop Ragnarok, although he does not approve of this method.
But in the final analysis, Thor is a warrior rather than a ruler. Perhaps he cannot see Odin's foresight, so he just goes with the flow and comes to find his mother.
According to Sif, Queen Frigga is in front. The reason why she has not appeared in Asgard for a long time is that she came here at the request of the God King.
As for what she came here for... Thor couldn't help but doubt the efficacy of Mimir's Fountain again.
Perhaps trapped by the threat of Ragnarok, Odin finally turned his attention back to the Fountain of Wisdom. He glimpsed the disaster here, so he sought answers again.
Queen Frigga got the real way to use the Fountain of Wisdom from him, just like she was the only one qualified to sit on Odin's throne.
"Huh..."
"King's wisdom..."
Step by step, Thor stepped over the bushes of the Misty Forest.
Soon, when the last obstruction was gone, the ancient spring pool was reflected in front of Thor.
A small lake was in the middle of the open space, with clear water rolling endlessly. In the center of it, there was a spring gurgling out pure spring water. Under the light, light golden mist rose up and floated into the air. At the top of the spring pool, there was a huge root hanging from a height, swaying slightly.
The rising mist was attracted by it. The water of the sacred spring continuously nourished the sacred tree that ran through the nine realms, giving it infinite vitality and strength.
I didn't pay too much attention. Although the scene in front of me was indeed a rare beauty, Thor had been here more than once.
Thor's eyes shuttled around the shore, and soon, he found a familiar back.
Queen Frigga, like Chaos's Queen Hera, was in charge of the sacredness of marriage, reproduction, family, and abundance. A gray-black robe covered her body, and the shadow of the root of Yggdrasil covered her.
After not seeing each other for a long time, a smile involuntarily floated on her face. Thor took a step forward and called out loudly:
"Mother, please let me be good..."
The smile
froze on his face, and Thor was a little confused for a moment.
The voice was stuck in his throat. He saw with his own eyes that Frigga seemed to turn around and look at him, and then she actually jumped directly into the lake in front of him.
After a burst of water sound, there was no movement on the water surface.
"...Let me find it..."
The tall and strong figure was a little at a loss for a moment, and Thor didn't know what happened. However, the Nine Realms had never heard that the water of the Fountain of Wisdom was harmful to people, so he was not too worried.
He just didn't understand why this happened. Could it be that the Mother Goddess was preparing to do something here before, but he just happened to disturb her?
"No matter, I'll go down and take a look."
He shook his head slightly. If it was Loki here, he might hesitate, but Thor never needed to do this.
Holding the [Mjolnir] hanging on his waist, the Thunder God did not hesitate, but jumped down.
He is the first warrior in the Nine Realms, and no one can defeat him in a head-on contest. The hammer in his hand is also the most powerful weapon in the Nine Realms. Even Gungnir and Levatin are slightly inferior.
Apart from the legendary Ragnarok, nothing can threaten his life, and nothing is worth his fear.
Giants and dragons are not worthy, and this small Jotunheim is even less so.
······
"Reckless man, just like Ares!"
At almost the same time, when Thor jumped down from the fountain of wisdom, Zeus, who was browsing this memory in his mind, couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Although he knew that this was just a memory of the past and that the other party couldn't hear what he said, this did not affect his recklessness in scolding Thor.
Could it be that the king of gods in every world would have such a son who didn't know how to advance or retreat? Zeus didn't know.
But when he thought of Ares, Zeus helplessly found that his son seemed to be no match for the son of Odin.
After all, no matter what, Thor's divine power was undoubtedly powerful. His recklessness was reckless with support, while Ares's was arrogance that failed every time.
"Thor's hammer [Mjolnir]... This is also a very powerful weapon." "If I can combine it with my [Thunderbolt Arrow], even if it cannot reach the realm of the Creation Artifact, it can at least be compared with the incomplete [Life Bottle] and Nyx's black dress."
With envy in his heart, the God King knew that his artifact was made from a part of his priesthood, and it was only by magnifying its destructive side that it appeared to be so powerful.
Moreover, as he entered the realm of great divine power, this once handy weapon was no longer so useful.
Thor, the God of Thunder... secretly remembered this name. Zeus didn't know when this memory would end, but if there was a chance, he still hoped to find out where this artifact had fallen.
Although it was likely that it had been destroyed with the destruction of the world, it would never hurt to look for it.
Hualala...
broke through the water, and while the God King was thinking, Thor's movements did not stop.
Following his perspective, the scene of the Fountain of Wisdom extending out of the spring pool also came into Zeus's eyes.
The stars of light swirled up and down, and his brain became much clearer.
Many confusions in the past were solved in an instant, and everything in the world seemed to become clear.
Zeus silently accepted the expected benefits, but he didn't feel surprised.
Compared with Odin's self-sacrifice last time, the power of the Fountain of Wisdom itself was nothing.
Moreover, as an innate god, Zeus was not particularly eager for this ability to clarify everything. Chaos also had only one magic goddess who controlled the magic net, and she had never shown such powerful magic as Gullveig of the Nine Realms.
So just like Thor who also had no reaction to this, the God King's attention did not stay on the spring water for too long, but followed the back that went all the way to the bottom of the pool.
The only thing that made him pay a little attention was the little knowledge that came to him along with the spring water.
These were very useful. Even if the laws of the foreign land were not consistent with Chaos, and this knowledge was scattered and chaotic, but the stones from other mountains could be used to polish jade, so the God King accepted all of them.
The knowledge that can be understood directly is classified aside, and some things that are difficult to understand and need to be analyzed are temporarily put aside... As Thor goes deeper, these useful and useless things come more and more, and faster and faster.
The light on the water surface becomes dim underwater, and many seaweed-like plants can be vaguely seen swaying at the bottom of the pool.
Their reflections hang on the ground, swaying slightly under the waves.
Finally, the chase at the bottom of the pool has come to an end. Under this small spring, the figure in front of Thor still stopped.
The attached body called forward while calling, but Zeus in his mind sneered secretly.
Looking at the back of the dark-clothed figure stepping on the bottom of the pool, he knew without thinking that there must be something wrong.
Is it a bait disguised by something, or is it a body that has long been controlled by someone? Zeus didn't know, and he didn't want to guess, because the answer would be revealed soon.
And just as he thought, the next moment, when Thor's hand finally touched the dark hem of the goddess's clothes, the goddess' body finally turned around.
Although her appearance shocked Thor, it did not affect Zeus' mind at all.
"...Oh, so that's how it is. A faceless man, but what's the use of that?"
"If there is nothing else, it's just a trick to scare mortals."
He smiled disdainfully, his heart was calm as still water. Looking at the smooth face without facial features, Zeus felt nothing.
So far, there was nothing that surprised him particularly in this memory, including the violent reaction of this body when seeing this scene.
The lightning that destroyed everything gathered on [Mjolnir], and the God King just leisurely experienced the power of the foreign Thor.
A farce, this faceless man is definitely not Thor's opponent, but since someone tricked him here, he should have a real killer.
And the one who can guarantee to defeat this foreign son of God must be at least a great power.
"So who will it be? It's probably not recorded in the books of Asgard...
" [I]
"..."
After a slight pause, Zeus immediately sensed the rules around him.
Although the laws of illusion were extremely real, he did not have the feeling of the interweaving of the laws of the two worlds that he had when he first entered Asgard.
[Hello]
The knowledge that had flowed into his mind before was broken and reorganized, and the incomprehensible content turned into symbols.
They formed a sentence and spoke in Zeus' heart.
Unmoved, he repeatedly confirmed the normality of the law and that he was just an incarnation, and the God King asked:
"Who are you?"
[I]
[Odin]
[Eye]
...
[I am the Eye of Odin]
The runes broke and reorganized, and finally turned into this short word.
In the space of consciousness where Zeus was, when this word was formed, he seemed to really see an eye.
Looking into this eye, Zeus did not see any malice in its pupils, but more of innocence and curiosity.
"...Innocence and curiosity."
Zeus did not know that in the real world, in the broken world tens of thousands of years after the history in this memory had ended, the Lord of the Spirit World, whom he regarded as his great enemy, had also found similar pupils. He would not know whether the two were the same thing, or different things that looked the same. (See 3-55)
He only knew that the thing in front of him was probably both a danger and an opportunity.
Innocence and curiosity do not mean kindness, because human infants also have the same eyes when they scald ants to death with boiling water. However, even if the "Eye of Odin" in front of him is a cub, Zeus is definitely not an ant on the ground.
"Nice to meet you, Eye of Odin."
He smiled and said, although he didn't think that the thing in front of him was really the Eye of Odin, but at this moment, Zeus didn't mind recognizing this name.
The time sequence of Tartarus is very different from that of the outside world. This is something Zeus knew before he came to the abyss.
And when it comes to each layer of the abyss interface, they are often different.
I don't know how long it took, and I woke up from the cold spring that froze my soul. Zeus slowly opened his eyes, but there was a little shock and horror in his eyes.
The long and short journey of memory ended, and he returned to reality.
But unlike what he expected before, in this memory, Zeus did not encounter any persecution or scheme.
He just witnessed a piece of foreign history, and witnessed how the son of the God King named Thor disappeared quietly like his mother Frigga, and never appeared in the world until the final day of the destruction of the Nine Realms.
When the God of Thunder, who entrusted his will, "died", he naturally returned to reality. Without the influence of the friction between the rules of the world, he was almost not hindered.
It was like a dream. No matter what happened in the dream, it should have nothing to do with reality.
However, the hot touch that appeared in his palm made Zeus realize that all this was not a dream.
"Mjolnir... actually appeared, but how is this possible?"
It was unbelievable, but he had to believe it.
The golden and red hammer head, the complex and ancient inscriptions, and the thunder force that was stronger than his body, there was no doubt that this was Thor's hammer that Thor had held in his hand in that memory fragment.
In the memory fragment, Zeus also longed to get it, but he knew that the possibility was actually almost slim.
But what he never expected was that it didn't take long, or even just half a day.
In that memory fragment, with the innocent eyes like a child, the barrier between memory and reality was tampered with.
When he returned to reality, this artifact of the Nine Realms actually appeared in his hand. If it weren't for the coldness of the ice spring, I'm afraid its own high temperature would be enough to hurt Zeus' palm.
Out of nothing?
No.
Although he didn't quite understand it, Zeus didn't think it was out of nothing.
In the understanding of the God King, there is no real creation out of nothing.
If we must find an exception, then the birth of complete worlds such as Chaos and the Nine Realms may be considered as an exception, but that's it.
Apart from that, there is no so-called creation out of nothing in this world. What happened to me may just be that a certain force long ago changed the form of the dead Thor and his artifact.
This force turned these two dead objects from objectively existing materials into illusory and uncertain information, and finally hid them in this memory.
He is so great and incredible. He created the Eye of Odin, changed Odin's mind, and even destroyed the entire Nine Realms together - Zeus is not sure if the last point is true, but at least the first two are very likely.
He had doubts about this a long time ago. After all, according to the various records he found in Asgard, the previous monarch who once ruled Asgard seemed to be inconsistent with the one he saw when he obtained the "Great Ceremony of Kingship" in terms of behavior and other aspects.
At first, Zeus didn't think much about it. He just thought it was the basic method of the God King to be one thing and another. But now it seems that this is not the case.
Perhaps Odin had been affected invisibly when he arranged the so-called back-up plan in Asgard, but he himself did not realize his change.
Just like the so-called "Eye of Odin", Zeus was sure that there must be something hidden under the seemingly innocent new consciousness that he did not notice, but the new consciousness itself did not find it.
It just stumbled and made a deal with Zeus, and gave [Mjolnir] as a deposit in advance, and even asked Zeus for it without even knowing a guarantee.
As for its request, the God King, who did not know the situation at the time, naturally did not rashly refuse it.
After using the art of language to avoid it but not leaving anything that could be called a "promise", Zeus was basically trying to find out the other party's origins.
Being able to communicate with him as a "bystander" in memory, the "Eye of Odin" is undoubtedly a "living" existence, just like the Odin who almost calculated himself.
So he maintained a tense spirit and did not dare to be negligent or slack.
It was not until the reassembled memory fragment came to an end that the God King finally breathed a sigh of relief after escaping from it.
In the cold spring water, Zeus stared at Mjolnir in his hand. Now that memory seemed to have exhausted its power, it no longer existed in his mind.
But although the memory fragment was gone, Zeus could not guarantee that the Eye of Odin that communicated with him was also gone.
After all, the experience it described... was really a bit frightening.
"...Supreme power condensed on a spear, it locked countless possibilities of time and space. Before it was launched, all causes and effects were anchored. It finally pierced the sacred tree that supported the Nine Realms with an unstoppable force... and before the destruction, the unfathomable will of the Nine Realms finally arrived."
"Under instinctive fear, the Eye of Odin did not continue to look. It panicked and wanted to hide, but there was no escape around. "
"It hid itself in the trivial time and space at the end of all things, but failed to avoid the aftermath of that day ."
"Until I awakened this fragment of memory today, it found that it was not dead, but was able to see the light of day again..."
The expression was cold and there was no trust at all. The above was just what Zeus summarized from the Eye of Odin's story in a way that he could understand, and it did not mean that the truth was like this.
In fact, after excluding a large number of descriptions like [fear], [confusion], and [grievance], Zeus was more willing to believe that the existence of the creator of the Eye of Odin was most likely inseparable from the destruction of the alien world, and it was even very likely to be the culprit itself.
That's why the Eye of Odin was terrified when the World Will descended, because if it didn't run, the World Will, which was on the verge of extinction, would probably crush it to death first.
It was easy to understand why it thought it was dead, because it didn't have the ability to replace matter and information.
It was probably just an existence created by that unknown existence, just like an ordinary creature infected by the ancient evil. Although Zeus was not very clear about what realm to reach to achieve such a thing that was like a myth in the eyes of the gods.
It had been erased, and its figure was not seen in the past and the future, but only a reflection of its existence remained in a memory, and it revived and returned with the memory itself intact.
This is also the reason why Zeus felt that it did not disappear with the exhaustion of that memory, because he still remembered it.
"...Fortunately, I am the God King."
"When I become one with you, I will use the power of the God King to seal this memory."
"No matter how powerful a force is, it is nothing in front of Chaos. Even if the Nine Realms are broken, won't its legacy still fall into our world?"
Asgard has become his tool, and that abnormal Odin couldn't do anything to him. This is enough to prove that in Chaos' world, the power outside the domain cannot make a big difference.
Compared to this, what really worries Zeus is another thing.
Thor's hammer is in his hand. Although he didn't intend to complete the transaction from the beginning, Zeus still asked the other party what he wanted him to do, and the Eye of Odin did not hide it.
It told Zeus that although it is now alive from death, its body cannot be restored. Fortunately, at the moment of waking up, the Eye of Odin found that his body still existed, but was trapped somewhere.
[Black, white]
[Surrounded]
[Repeatedly]
[Endless]
This is how the Eye of Odin described the place, and after a moment of surprise, Zeus subconsciously recalled his experience a long time ago.
That was the first and only time he officially stepped into the spirit world.
The [Well of Samsara] he saw, which was located at the midpoint of the [World of All Spirits] and was in charge of the afterlife of all spirits... seemed to be exactly the same as this description.
·······
Wow...
With a lot of thoughts in his mind, Zeus put away Thor's hammer.
Regardless of whether there will be any trouble in the future, after he uses the power of the God King to refine it, this accidentally obtained artifact will be his new arm.
However, how to deal with it specifically will have to wait until he returns to the God Mountain and hands it over to the main body, and then consult professionals in the field of artifact casting... Putting aside distracting thoughts, Zeus continued to descend.
Because of this unexpected memory, he has been delayed for too long.
The Dragon Queen had probably arrived a long time ago, and had just been waiting for him to come.
Fortunately, it wasn't long before they reached the depths of the spring, so Zeus immediately accelerated downwards, sensing the position of the Dragon Queen.
The separated poison spring and cold spring gradually intertwined here, but they were also distinct.
The origins of the two were like a pair of special magnets, attracting each other when they were far away, and repelling each other when they were close.
Lightning flashed through the cold spring, and after more than half a water clock, Zeus finally arrived at the bottom of the spring pool.
However, to his surprise, he did not see the Dragon Queen who had been waiting for a long time. On the contrary, the other party had just arrived in the opposite direction.
"You..."
Just as he was about to ask, he kept silent the next moment.
Opposite Zeus, the Dragon Queen who swam in the light green spring pool did the same.
The narrow eyes looked up and down at Zeus. It seemed that the other party also gained something from this creation spring... But how could what he (she) got be compared with what he (she) got? If he (she) did not have the blood (memory) of the dragon (alien) race (domain), he would not be able to discover such an amazing secret.
"...It seems that we have come at the right time, Lord Kronides of Olympus."
"In that case, let's speed up the progress and unify these separated springs."
"...That's right."
Nodding in agreement, looking at each other tacitly, Zeus immediately raised his hand and caught the wandering cold spring.
Overcoming the repulsion between the two, unifying the cold spring and the poisonous spring, and restoring the original appearance of [Hvergelmir's Spring], at least part of it, this is what they need to do.
When the springs are unified, as long as the Dragon Mother puts her mark on the new springs, this desolate interface will welcome a new owner and become an interface under the rule of the lord.
...
Boom-
hum...
On the earth, the boundaries between the glacier and the poisonous swamp are clear.
The power of the two constitutes the cornerstone of this world, but it also conceals the possibility of this interface developing in a normal direction.
Moreover, their power constantly collides with each other under the cover of the earth, making it impossible for them to grow, but instead exhausted in self-consumption.
Until today, with a huge roar that spread throughout the entire [Nibelungen], the tall icebergs began to melt, and the low swamps gradually evaporated.
The water on the ground and the fog in the sky merged into one, and finally turned into two surging and majestic rivers in the center of the earth.
The earth gradually returned to its former appearance, and the breath of life began to linger on the river.
Perhaps it won't be long before a different kind of demon that conforms to the laws of this world will appear here and spread throughout the entire space.
From this moment on, [Hvergelmir's Fountain] was reappeared in the abyss of the other world. At the same time, the will of the abyss was pleased, and He began to reward the existence that did all this.
Needless to say, the Dragon Mother, and the mark left by the other party on Zeus to conceal his breath also began to take effect.
Under his active urging, the credit of the Abyss's newly acquired divine spring was completely credited to the Dragon Queen, and the new Lord's Mark began to condense and sublimate on her body.
One breath, two breaths... The power brought down by the Abyss was not only this, but also enough to transform an Abyss Demon God. Under the will of the Dragon Mother, it flowed into the blood-red dragon head, adding a pair of dragon horns that were curved like the horns of a demon.
The blood gave a subtle feedback, as long as it swallowed the Heart of the Flame Demon, it could officially begin to reproduce the Red Dragon Clan.
It just so happened that Tartarus should be very suitable for them. After all, their power has a part of the Abyss, and there is never a lack of lava and volcanoes here.
"Huh... Your Excellency Dragon Mother, now that I have fulfilled the agreement, then should you..."
"Of course."
"My Lord's aura will cover the laws of the world on you, so that you will be regarded as a native Demon God of the Abyss by all the beings along the way. This is what we agreed on from the beginning."
The Dragon Mother nodded slightly, feeling the surging power in her body. She didn't intend to embarrass Zeus here.
She had already gotten enough. The only thing left was the last mission. Zeus was no longer useful to her.
Let him do his own thing... After he left, she would continue to cut off all connections between [Nibelungen] and other abyssal levels.
No matter how much trouble he made, it would have nothing to do with her.
Without further twists and turns, after slightly adapting to the brand new mark of the Lord of the Abyss, the Dragon Mother very straightforwardly updated the Lord mark on Zeus.
The interface blessing power of [Nibelungen] conceals the rules of the material world. As long as Zeus does not use power beyond the upper limit of the interface, it will be difficult for other lords of Tartarus to discover his true identity.
After resolving the worries, there are only two choices before the incarnation of the God King.
He can either continue with his previous plan or return directly to the human world.
There is nothing wrong with the latter. After all, although none of the original preparations have been made, if it is just to enhance strength, the newly acquired [Mjolnir] and the foreign thunder god power contained in it can also be replaced.
But once you leave, the Dragon Mother's mark will not be left on it the next time you enter. Without the cover of the mark, it is difficult for him to move freely in the abyss.
And if you choose the former, Zeus will also have to face the corresponding risks.
Because once he was trapped here, what he would lose was not only an incarnation that contained part of his power, but also the artifact and knowledge obtained from the memory fragment.
Even beyond that, Zeus still couldn't be sure. Although the memory fragment had exhausted its power, where was the Eye of Odin now?
Maybe they died together, but this possibility was very small.
The greater possibility was that it still existed in his memory in a way that Zeus couldn't understand, but this time it was his memory...
Thinking of this, Zeus felt more reluctant.
He was not sure what would happen if his incarnation died here, but if there was a choice, he would rather let the original body solve it.
Only the throne of the God King, which was closely related to the origin and destiny of the world, could contend with this strange existence of unknown origin... Of course, no matter what choice he made, Zeus would definitely not stay in [Nibelungen].
He and the Dragon Mother were not real allies, at most they were just mutually beneficial.
"...In that case, I won't see you off." "
The [Hvergelmir Spring] has just revived, and I am going to block the connection between [Nibelungen] and the outside world."
"Sir Kronides, just leave on your own. As long as you don't do anything to trigger the arrival of the will of the abyss, you don't have to worry about my mark losing its effect."
"This is the route to [862-11-Thunder Pool], which is also the deepest interface of the space-time level I found from the mark... Although it still needs to pass through dozens of different abyss levels in the middle, this is already the fastest path."
"Okay, then I won't bother you any more."
Although Zeus was shaken by the idea of going deeper, he did not show it. He just took the guidance sent by the Dragon Mother, and then passed through the space-time portal opened by the other party after a brief farewell.
The silver-white vortex fluctuated for a while, and then shrank a little bit.
While watching Zeus leave on the new spring, the Dragon Mother waved her right hand lightly, and her mind mobilized the divine power of the entire interface.
The space-time connection that was originally released due to the restoration of [Hvergelmir's Well] was locked again. As the master of a layer of the abyss interface, the Five-Colored Dragon Queen has the authority to make such a choice.
This blockade made under the guise of authority does not need to consume her own power. The only thing that is not so good is that... feeling the leap of the power of the abyss, an extreme will gradually surged into the heart of the Dragon Mother.
This is not only due to the authority of the lord, but also the effect of the abyss power that has just been integrated into her blood.
Fortunately, the power of the red dragon does not all come from the abyss, and the blood throne of the Five-Colored Dragon Queen is not only forged by the power of Tartarus. [Hvergelmir's Well] has retained a considerable degree of independence while accepting the transformation of the abyss power, and has not completely become a chaotic and disordered magic spring.
So the Dragon Mother easily suppressed this restlessness and maintained her usual rationality.
After looking at the interface that seemed like a new life, she was still very satisfied with her new home.
As the source of the blood of the five-colored evil dragon, this place is destined to become a world of dragon blood life under her influence... But before achieving this goal, she still has one thing to do.
The gods of Olympus left, and it was time for her to complete her second task.
Kaka -
revealing her true form as a giant dragon with two heads and two tails, the Dragon Mother circled in the sky above [Nibelungen] for a week, and then plunged into the void.
Next, she will return to [Wanyuan Plain] as a lord of the abyss.
And this time, as a genuine lord, the Dragon Mother no longer needs to be afraid of the abyss demons along the way.
Even if she attracts attention, at most she will have a fight. She has enough room to see the scenery of different levels of the abyss.
But after crossing two layers of the abyss, the Dragon Mother flew past a wide and rushing river, and she subconsciously looked over there.
It seemed that something was looking at her just now, but this feeling was fleeting, as if it was just an illusion.
Without paying too much attention, the Dragon Mother vibrated her dragon wings and her figure crossed the sky.
Wherever he passed, countless demons prostrated themselves on the ground under the pressure of the Lord of the Abyss. This oppression from the origin did not change because of the chaotic consciousness, and only a few beings could be exempted from this pressure.
"..." "
...Dragon clan, the subordinates of the Lord of Darkness?"
The
river water rolled, and when the breath of the Dragon Mother completely disappeared in this layer of the abyss, the center of the river that she had noticed for a moment before, the river water began to swirl slightly.
After a while, the vortex in the center of the river became larger and larger, and a staircase made of river water extended from the depths of the vortex.
The lady in black climbed up the stairs. Her face was not very delicate, but under her ordinary cheeks, she gave people an inexplicable sense of awe.
Looking at the direction where the Dragon Mother went away, the lady in black thought quietly for a moment.
She was not sure why the other party came. The only thing that could be confirmed was that the other party was now a member of the abyss.
But this did not prove anything. Except for the real gods with priesthood, Tartarus would not refuse most of the existence.
Just like her, although she is also considered a member of the real gods, she is not rejected by the power of the abyss because of the special nature of her priesthood.
The most powerful primitive god in the world welcomes any existence that embraces chaos... Of course, she does not intend to embrace chaos, and the dragon mother who left may not have this intention.
The river water rolled under her feet, and the lady in black no longer paid attention to the dragon mother.
At this moment, she did not know that just as she intended to seek some kind of cooperation as an envoy, the other party was also an envoy.
It's just that she came for herself, while the Dragon Mother came for the original gods behind her. "...The uninvited guest who suddenly disturbed us has left. Let's continue the topic just now."
"I wonder if you can answer my confusion for me?"
Styx turned her head and looked towards the river bank without any fluctuation in her tone.
And where her eyes were, an eight-armed snake demon just retracted his gaze towards the horizon and turned to look at the paper in the goddess's hand.
"The Hell Contract... Hehe, why, since you have noticed it, haven't you heard about it from other sources?"
"I asked."
"But unfortunately, there are people who are willing to speak, but they know the facts but not the reasons."
"As for the one who may know the truth... his response to me was 'I don't know, and I don't want to say'."
Standing quietly on the water of the Styx River, the power of the abyss and Styx were separated on both sides like water from a well.
He neither resisted nor welcomed it.
After all, as the interface created by the intersection of the four original gods' power, the existence of the underworld has never been completely biased towards one side, so among the gods in the world, the gods of the underworld are the ones who are least rejected by the abyss.
As for Styx, she is the most special one among all the gods in the underworld because of her special priesthood.
The divine power of the Styx [Hate] is naturally repelled by the divine power of the gods in the world, and the authority of [Oath] comes from the delegation of power by the world itself.
Therefore, whether it is the human world or the abyss, most places in Chaos will not reject the eldest daughter of the ocean god, the Lord of the Styx who holds the power of the underworld.
But correspondingly, Styx can hardly increase her power in any other way. Even the divine power born from faith will only be exhausted by her own power. The
only thing that can really bring her growth is to use the power of [Oath] to witness the existence of the oath, and then use [Hate] to punish the creatures who violate the oath.
At the beginning, there was nothing wrong with this. After all, the gods are immortal, but most of the gods have a natural upper limit.
On the contrary, Styx can constantly enhance her own power and continuously strengthen the origin of her priesthood.
However, all this changed under the infusion of the Age of Faith and the origin of the other world. The power of the gods, which should have stagnated, continued to rise, but the power of Styx had not increased for a long time.
The power of the Styx was still too overbearing, so only the gods could use it as a witness to the oath.
There were very few gods in Chaos, and the gods under the rule of Zeus were more willing to let the king of gods witness the oath under deliberate guidance.
All these situations combined made it seem that there was no meaning to existence. Until on a whim, Styx discovered this contract that was enough for ordinary mortals to use, and the existence hidden in the abyss behind it.
"You should know that the authority of the gods cannot be violated. The oath is the authority given to me by the world, not yours."
"So, do you plan to take back your divine power by force?"
"No."
"I did think so at first... but later I found that this kind of hell contract did not seem to invade my territory, and on the contrary, it seemed to be a supplement."
"Because although this kind of contract is clever enough and numerous enough, it still has a shortcoming. That is, its power is too weak, far from enough to bind the existence of divinity."
There was no denial of this, because it was natural. Even as the source of the devil's contract, Nordrassil's real power has never been [oath].
Although the divine spear that once hit everything can witness the oath, it is more like the ability of "cause and effect".
It can make the oath of anyone who swears to it come true, but the more difficult your oath is to fulfill, the more serious the price the oath-taker will pay in the dark.
So facing this goddess of the Styx who came to the door halfway, the snake nodded without comment.
"You are right, so what are you going to do?"
"I want to sign a contract with the existence behind you, a contract that is beneficial to both of us."
"The separated [Oath] is just two ordinary divine powers, but if it can be combined into one, the shortcomings of both will be made up."
"As a complete divine power, it can be placed under your 'Hell' to enhance the overall strength of your interface. But as a specific user, it can only be exercised by me." "
And as the actual controller of one interface, you should not care about these things, right?"
For the things mentioned today, Styx has been secretly investigating for a long time.
No one knows that this ancient god who has been living in seclusion in the underworld for many years is not actually staying quietly in the river of the Styx, but constantly traveling between the abyss and the human world, collecting all kinds of information.
Crius, the prisoner imprisoned in Tartarus, now seems to be the lord who holds great power in Hell, which proves that the ruler of Hell should not care about sharing power with others.
That's why she made such an opinion and finally came to her door today.
"...hiss..."
"It sounds good, but whether it is feasible or not, we can't come to a conclusion for the time being."
"After all, you are the Styx of the underworld. No one knows whether the power of the two worlds will conflict, and whether it will cause other problems."
The snake was a little surprised when someone came to make such a deal for the first time. But Styx was right. If she could join the field of the Hell's Oath, not only would Nordrassil's growth be accelerated, but the three-layer interface it controls would also become more powerful.
In comparison, whether the goddess of the Styx maintains independence is secondary. Unless the power of the [Oath] can reach the great power, it really doesn't matter to the snake who controls it.
However, according to the snake's estimation, even if the [Oath] fields of Hell and the Styx are combined, there is still a gap from the great power. They are at least missing a key piece of the puzzle.
Even if that piece of puzzle is filled, it still takes an opportunity to condense a symbol of independence.
So in this case, without too much hesitation, the snake slowly nodded.
"But you're right. No matter what, your idea is worth considering."
"I'll come back to you when I'm done with my work."
"Get ready in advance. I'll take you to see the source of these contracts, Nordrassil - the Crown of the Nine Hells."
So Styx's conversation was unexpected, but thinking about it carefully, it was reasonable.
After all, the world does not revolve around a certain person. As one of the only three gods in the underworld who holds some power in the underworld, the River of Oath will naturally desire to obtain stronger power.
And why Styx happened to find the incarnation of the big snake is also not worth wondering, because it is actually the only communicator that the other party can find.
Matters like this involving the handover of powerful divine power must not be handed over to an existence that is not even a true god.
And with the current power of hell, it may be enough to supply a few feudal lords, but there is no extra power to create new god-level devils.
So under the premise that the limited power is each doing its job, either presiding over affairs in the human world, or commanding the army in the [Asura Field], or still trapped in the land of eternal night, the eight-armed snake demon separated from the big snake is actually the only god-like existence from hell that Styx has seen in recent years.
So Styx naturally chose this devil disguised as a demon without hesitation, although she herself did not know that this was actually the incarnation of the great power of hell.
"... To show my sincerity, before meeting the monarch of hell, I will tell you one more thing about the underworld."
"In recent years, the origin of the underworld has been turbulent. The origin of this interface that is independent of the material world has been strengthened by more than one level, and the authority of the underworld that I control has also become much stronger."
With a faint expression, Styx calmly described the changes in the underworld. However, the big snake showed little interest in this.
On the one hand, it was because it had no interest in the underworld at present, and on the other hand, it was because of the unique situation of the underworld.
This interface sandwiched between the four primitive gods is different from the starry sky and the sea. The semi-independent time and space also allow it to derive independent interface power.
However, the mixture of this great power also makes the underworld have no actual main body, making it impossible for it to condense its own complete symbol.
If the original underworld in mythology can still struggle and imagine, trying to involve the field of "afterlife" and "soul destination". Then, by building the purgatory to punish the wicked and the 'Elysian Fields' to reward the good, this concept was further improved, becoming an important part of Chaos's inner cycle. Now, it has even lost this ability.
The underworld is only a transit point for souls, not a destination. The three judges of the underworld who reward good and punish evil have now ascended to heaven and
become heroes, instead of struggling to survive in the underworld. The dead are certainly a way, but unless Hades can find another way for the birth of the dead other than the underworld moon, his efforts are also meaningless. This is why no one has ever competed with him for the right to rule the dead.
In this case, the great underworld with no hope of promotion is not worth the snake's attention.
Under absolute power, all tricks are meaningless.
"I know, it's not just the underworld, the abyss is the same."
"The power of the world is rising, so every part of it rises with it - so is that what you want to tell me?"
"Of course not." Seeing the big snake's disapproval, Styx shook his head slowly: "The origin of the underworld is indeed rising with the strengthening of the world, but in addition to that, there are other forces flowing into the root of the underworld... but this is also not what I want to say."
"What I really want to tell you is that these 'other' forces that flowed into the underworld did not really stay in the root of the underworld, but were transferred to other places by the ruler of Olympus, Hades, the god of the underworld."
"Although I don't know what he wants to do, as a neighbor of the abyss, I think you should be interested in his movements."
"Transferred?"
"Then how did you know?"
The big snake's mind moved slightly, he did not expect to get such a piece of news.
But Lyanna never seemed to have mentioned this matter in the spirit world. What the Hades Moon didn't notice, how could the Styx do it?
"How I know this is none of your business."
"The specific situation, if the subsequent cooperation is really reached, it's not too late to talk about it."
Styx refused coldly, stepping on the river without any intention of explaining.
Indeed, it stands to reason that she shouldn't know about this matter, and Hades did it relatively covertly.
But as the first Styx in the underworld, Styx has some induction to the other Styx, even the half-forgotten river flowing through the underworld, and it is because of this that she discovered some clues.
But there is no need to tell the existence in front of her about this kind of thing. After all, their cooperation is still only on paper, and Styx's so-called reminder is just a little bit of value.
"Okay, in that case, then it's as you wish."
Nodding slightly, the snake saw the other party's intention and stopped asking.
When she becomes a new member of hell, she will know it sooner or later.
In the big direction, it still tends to accept Styx's proposal, but it has other ideas for specific implementation.
For example, this kind of power union can have more participants, and then fill in the missing piece of the puzzle.
In addition, Hades and it are not very close at present... So instead of paying attention to the little actions of Hades, the snake wants to find the incarnation of Zeus who broke into the abyss.
······
Parting with Styx temporarily, the snake asked her to wait at the gate of the [Wanyuan Plain] first, while it still had things to do.
Continuing to go deep into the core of Tartarus, the snake had to admit that it was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack to find someone who deliberately hid his whereabouts without guidance.
Unless you have extremely high authority in the abyss, no one can find a specific existence in the chaotic time and space... Fortunately, the snake came prepared, and the dark elf found on the surface of the abyss made a great contribution.
Zeus and the Dragon Mother used it as bait to attract the attention of the demon god, so the first thing to do was to leave her something that contained enough of their own breath and power.
After all, considering the wisdom of the Abyss Demons today, the smart ones among them are already very good at distinguishing between bait and real body. As for using this as a medium to explore the trace, it is just overthinking.
In addition, the two have already regarded these elves as dead people, so naturally they will not be on guard. Therefore, although it is impossible to accurately lock Zeus's location, the snake still roughly understands the route he walks.
Going down all the way, comparing with the known abyss levels, a very obvious route of movement becomes clearer and clearer in his mind.
However, looking at the end of this route, the snake's expression can't help but become a little strange.
If he is not mistaken, if he keeps walking along this road, he is likely to pass through a surface called [862-11-Thunder Pool].
Number 862 proves that this layer of interface is close to the bottom of the abyss in terms of time and space.
Although the time and space of Tartarus is said to be endless, the time and space where the interface exists is definitely not as infinite as imagined.
At least for now, the "bottomless abyss" is still unworthy of its name. Although its "bottom" is so deep that ordinary people can hardly imagine it, it definitely exists objectively.
Therefore, as a place close to the core of the abyss, the abyss after eight or nine hundred layers mostly has some ancient demons living in it. For example, the Lord of Mist, who was severely injured in the war of invading hell but did not die completely, seems to be licking his wounds in a certain layer, and the ancient Demon Mother also lives in the nearby time and space. Of course, all this has nothing to do with the [Thunder Pool]. The two mentioned above are not in this layer of the abyss, and the environment rich in thunder is not liked by them.
Even the Abyss Lord who dominates the [Thunder Pool] is not an ancient demon god, but an existence that has gradually become famous in recent years.
No one knows what kind of demon it is. People who know about its existence think that it may be a new demon born after the aggregation of chaotic source power.
It is powerful and greedy, but at the same time it has many shrewdness and cunning that other abyss demons do not have.
So much so that in just a few thousand years, it has become famous in the lower and middle layers of the abyss, and even the big snake has heard of its name.
Well... it is the arrogant guy that the big snake talked to Asmodeus not long ago, claiming to have the blood of the "king", the title of [Demon Prince], and saying that he is destined to defeat hell and unify the abyss.
Although its big words were not taken seriously by the two hell monarchs, its existence did enter their sight.
"Zeus... [Thunder Pool]... [Demon Prince]..."
"Is there any connection between them, or is this a coincidence?"
A hint of amusement flashed across his expression. As Tartarus's power increased, the snake's understanding of the depths of the abyss became less and less.
So without seeing it with his own eyes, he was not sure about the details of this [Demon Prince]. But if Zeus came to the abyss for it, it would be interesting.
"It's hard to say."
"I'm more inclined to believe that Zeus came for Moya, after all, they have a fateful connection..."
"Plus, the number 'six' in Chaos has indeed become a symbol of 'evil' and 'degeneration' with the birth of the first generation of the Abyss Demon God and Asmodeus, who actually controls the six layers of hell. Zeus's behavior of coming to the abyss may itself be a necessity and attraction..."
"Hiss..."
"Never mind."
"It doesn't matter whether you came for them or not. For the sake of your life, uncle will help you..."
The snake spit out its tongue lightly, and the snake couldn't help but speed up a little.
Not only for his own bad taste, in fact, as the embodiment of the evil side of the spirit, if he can make the God King of the world and the power of the abyss interact in some sense, then Tartarus's confused consciousness may even temporarily forget its identity as the Lord of Hell, and actively give it some source power that it cannot digest.
After all, the abyss and hell are enemies, but if it can get something from the world, it means much more to the abyss than imagined.
With Tartarus' current domain, excluding the accumulation of horizontal "quantity", even the slightest qualitative change in the vertical direction is already difficult as if it were ascending to heaven.
So even driven by instinct, it should not mind "brothers quarreling within the wall, but defending against external insults"...
"Although this sentence is a bit far-fetched here, let's just leave it like this."
"Zeus... I'm here to find you." Just because the main
body is not interested in doing something does not mean that the snake is not interested in it.
The mood is high, and this is the first time it has done something that is beneficial and interesting since its birth.
·······
Buzz...
The void is ringing, and time and space are distorted.
Entering the interface portal again, Zeus shuttled through the chaotic time and space.
One step forward, it was the end of the map given by the Dragon Mother.
According to her, the core of the abyss was further ahead, and she could not obtain the time and space coordinates there from the Lord's Seal.
Unless she could occupy more than one layer of the abyss and become a great lord who could rival the powerful divine power with the power of the interface alone, or go there in person and try to find a way to go deeper.
Zeus didn't really care about this at first, because he didn't want to continue exploring in Tartarus at that time.
He didn't know whether the attraction in the dark was good or bad, but what he had already obtained was always real benefit.
So Zeus immediately chose to go home - however, he thought well, but the actual practice was completely different.
Shuttle along the road he came from to the entrance of the abyss. This road has been verified that there is no abyss lord lingering in it. The first part of the return journey was indeed smooth, until in the 254th layer of the abyss, Zeus ran into the body of an acquaintance head-on.
Both an acquaintance and an 'acquaintance'.
The roasted corpse of the dark elf gave off a meaty aroma, and the breath of the Fire Lord lingered in this interface.
Obviously, the Dragon Mother and Zeus had not given up on finding their whereabouts after causing trouble before, and the manic Fire Lord was not so easy to stop.
First, he was snatched away by the tiger's mouth, and then he was fooled around by the bait. This hot-tempered demon was obviously on the verge of exploding.
So after recalling the Fire Lord's [Burning Explosion] that he had just seen in the [Wanyuan Plain] when he came to the abyss, Zeus chose to give up the original path from the bottom of his heart.
It was hard to say whether the Fire Lord could defeat this incarnation, but he was definitely not able to withstand this kind of fighting style of mutual destruction.
"... Fortunately, according to the information provided by the dragon, I still have a way to return to the first ten layers of the abyss at the fastest speed."
"At the end of the route map she transformed, there is a channel leading directly to the surface of the abyss in the interface called [Thunder Pool]."
"Because the demon lord who dominates this world is very interested in conquering other demons and even attacking their enemies, it deliberately opened up a connection to the surface of the abyss in some way to quickly travel back and forth."
"If I can borrow a passage there, I can return to the underworld at the fastest speed and then merge with the original body..."
After going around in circles, Zeus returned to the starting point and still had to go to [Thunder Pool].
