A war of killing gods came to an end.
Sauron's harvest is relatively rich, but it will take some time to fully digest it.
There are some peculiarities in the power of gods. When absorbing other people's divinity and priesthood, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful. But now Sauron still has a 'swinging potato' in his hand, which is one of the most powerful artifacts in the material plane.
—[Pale justice]!
Sauron didn't want to return this weapon to the Lord of Radiance's paladins. The reason was simple. They were dead-headed and had always been at the forefront of fighting against evil. If they returned it, they might use it against themselves in the future.
but!
This weapon, Sauron, must not be kept by himself, because keeping it would be an endless trouble.
So, he decided to try another method.
Desolate Gobi.
After Sauron sent back the eldest princess, he came to the hermitage of the Holy Avenger again.
The eldest princess has also absorbed a small part of divinity and godhead, and her own power is a little bit out of control, and now it is even more important to integrate these divinity and godhead.
Under the background of the saint catastrophe, killing the gods will inevitably lead to some waste of power.
Because everyone is in the form of a saint, they cannot condense the power of godhood and divinity at will like the form of a god. If it is a complete form of a god, Sauron can extract it separately and condense it into one even if he cannot integrate the [animal] domain. Share divinity bestowed upon others. Basically, there is no need to think this way in the form of the saint. According to the standard, the strength of the form of the saint may not be about one-third of that of the divine form.
Pale justice.
This weapon cannot be returned to those paladins, nor can it be kept in his own hands.
So what should Sauron do now
So, a bold idea came into his mind, that is to give it to the holy avenger who has a good relationship with him.
Both sides are also paladins.
The holy avengers and the holy warrior order of the lord of light are completely different, and the former made a greater contribution after the outbreak of the holy catastrophe. They maintained the order and rules of the world, and did not like other holy warrior orders Obsessed with fighting evil forces.
Lawful good.
This camp always has a focus. The Holy Avengers place the most emphasis on [Order], while the Order of the Lord of Radiance puts more emphasis on [Kindness] and [Justice].
When he saw the warden again, his expression was very cautious.
This group of paladins also have their own news network, and it is impossible to hide the fall of Mara, the god of hunting, from them. The fall of an evil god is undoubtedly a very happy thing, but if this evil In the hands of the gods of the powerful evil camp, the reality may not be so happy.
This may represent the rise of a god of a more powerful evil alignment.
The outside world's evaluation of Sauron is very strange.
He is ruthless, bloodthirsty, ruthless, iron-blooded and domineering. He hardly sees any virtues of kindness, kindness, tolerance, compassion, etc., but he is such a person, but he has made many heroes with countless virtues. Things that cannot be done.
Bring peace and order to one side of the world.
The south coast is now the place with the most stable order in the entire Material Plane, the lowest population decline, the best living conditions for civilians, and the least impact of war.
Sauron's iron-fisted rule absolutely does not allow major turmoil in his territory.
Very ironic!
At present, the most prosperous and vibrant place in the entire material plane was created by the existence of such an evil camp.
"Your Excellency Sauron."
The warden slightly bowed his head to show his respect for a true god. This is the biggest difference between the Holy Avengers. They really value the lives of the lowest class civilians, care for and pity those people, and will not be like other The paladins also used morality to kidnap these poor people, and finally pushed them into a more miserable situation in the flames of war.
The biggest difference between them is that they know what it means to compromise!
This is a kind of sadness.
A kind of sadness that belongs to the paladins, but it is precisely this that allows them to accomplish a great cause that all other paladins cannot do.
End the saint catastrophe!
The final battle before the end of the energy storm, the Holy Avenger is a backbone force that ends the turmoil of the Holy One.
After that war.
The gods returned to their respective kingdoms of God, devils and demons were expelled back to the abyss and hell, the cracks in the elemental planes were repaired by divine power, the barriers of the planes were gradually stabilized, and other creatures from the multiverse also returned one after another.
At that time, the struggle between the gods was another rule.
They have become chess players again, fighting with the pieces they have fallen, instead of going into battle naked.
The two artifacts are the important power of the saint's catastrophe.
A holy avenger, a handful of pale justice, Sauron is going to do something that may change the course of history today, and that is to hand over the 'pale justice' to the group of paladins in front of him.
clang!
Accompanied by the divine radiance, [Pale Justice] was inserted in front of the warden.
"This is?!!!"
An uncontrollable shocked expression appeared on the resolute face of the warden. He knelt on one knee on the ground, not in front of Sauron, but in front of [Pale Justice], stretching out his hand slowly with a trace of Trembling slightly, it slowly touched its blade. This blade is so sharp, even though it looks like a very ordinary long sword.
"Pale justice!!!"
An uncontrollable exclamation sounded, and the warden stood up all of a sudden, staring at Sauron with surprise on his face, and murmured: "This is really pale justice!!! Your Excellency?... I... I don't know what to do." How to express my gratitude!…”
Sauron took out this Excalibur, naturally not just to pretend to be coercive and leave.
It was a decision he had seriously considered to hand over [Pale Justice] to the group of paladins in front of him.
An artifact cannot change their fate.
But if there are two most powerful artifacts in the material plane, then the fate of this group of paladins is hard to say. (Remarks: After the full-scale eruption of the Holy Havoc, the Holy Avengers successively killed 90% of the paladins. What is even more rare is that after the end of the turbulent years, they did not rely on the glorious past to take the opportunity to grow, but They chose to return to the desolate Gobi and retreat again. They believed that the ancient tradition of the Holy Avenger should be continued.)
"It's up to you to handle it."
Sauron had a cool expression on his face. After throwing down the pale justice, he was about to turn around and leave, leaving the other party with an unfathomable back view.
Factional hedging makes it difficult for them to find a fit in the communication points.
What's more, the next thing is not so glorious. If the warden wants to swallow [Pale Justice], then he will definitely have to fight with other paladins, but both sides are paladins who protect justice, so the means must be more powerful. The seasoned Holy Avengers have a way of dealing with dead heads.
Let the paladins fight with the paladins, thinking about it, I really feel a little guilty!
but.
Sauron finally felt today that he had really changed the trajectory of his destiny a little bit.
