After listening to the words of the Hatred Demon General Astaroth to win over him, Ryan's heart was full of sneers. What "respect", what "allies", what "joining the Millennium War" is all about in disguise. To weaken the strength of humans, after the demon Sol failed to conquer humans with force, he tried to find ways to draw humans into his own camp, and then used the opportunity of the Thousand-Year War to weaken the strong humans,
Ryan didn't even need to think carefully to guess the next fate of mankind. In the Millennium War, mankind will "definitely" be treated politely by the Thor demon. Of course, as a price, strong humans will also fight against very difficult and powerful enemies. , after the strong men on the human side who can resist the invasion of the Thor demon have perished, the Thor demon will return to this plane with great arrogance. As Astarot said, the Thor demon respects the strong. Since you humans are strong, If all of them are dead, then human beings are not worthy of respect, that’s all,
Although Ryan did not reveal his inner thoughts, the hatred demon Astaroth has a long life, and his wisdom and experience have allowed him to guess Ryan's thoughts, so he laughed, waved his hand and said to Ryan: "Lian, Don’t rush to reject me. In fact, we both have equal opportunities here, but before I explain these things, I would like to express my sincerity.”
After the Demon General of Hatred, Astaroth, said these words, he turned to Tiefling Lord Kuze and said: "Retreat immediately, transfer all your troops back, station them near the gate of time and space, and at the same time, Release all your prisoners. Also, no unfriendly behavior towards humans and their allies in this plane is allowed without my order. Balzac, you three are responsible for monitoring, if anyone disobeys my order. , including Kuze, can be killed on the spot."
Although Tiefling Lord Kuze was arrogant in the Earth's Core Abyss, he did not dare to do any disobedient behavior in front of Astaroth. He was able to gain the trust of the Demon Prince and became the lord of the Earth's Core Abyss. He still relies on his mother to please this powerful king, but Astarot is one of the six most powerful and capable demon generals under the Demon Prince. Astarot’s own private territory alone is At least a hundred times more than Kuze's mere Earth Core Abyss. There is no way to compare their status and strength, so Kuze carried out Astarot's instructions without hesitation.
At the same time that the Hatred Demon General issued the order, the underground dwarf Milo had already translated what he said in Tiefling to Ryan and others, and the subsequent actions of Kurze and his soldiers also proved this. The tieflings, who had lost all morale, retreated in the direction from which they came. With little effort, all the tieflings within Ryan's field of vision disappeared without a trace.
"I'll go take a look." Sairaokamus exerted force on his feet, and his body jumped high. Then the adult red dragon transformed into a giant dragon form without hesitation and flew into the blue sky. Ten minutes later, the giant dragon transformed by Thera Okamus roared back toward the ground. When his body was about to come into contact with the ground, Thera Okamus suddenly transformed into his human form again, gently and delicately. By chance, I stood back on the ground.
After some aerial detection, Serra Okamus had almost grasped the situation near Iron Fist Castle. He stood beside Ryan and said loudly: "The tieflings are indeed retreating. They left behind The body of my companion walked towards the west."
Astarot said with a smile: "Ryan, now that I have shown my sincerity, is it your turn? We should no longer be in a hostile position now. Should you invite me to your party?" Let’s discuss it in detail in the study.”
Ryan did not immediately answer Astarot's question, but turned to ask his companions for their opinions. His eyes passed over Farasi, Orlando, Victor, Alando and others, and saw various things. With different expressions, it was clear that everyone had different thoughts on the proposal of the hateful demon general, but in the end it was Ghalib who said: "Don't worry, that guy is not hostile, at least not now."
After listening to Ghalib's words, Ryan nodded slightly, then turned back to Astarot and said: "Okay, I now invite you to my territory as a guest. I hope this is a good start, but Something must be said up front, if there is any unfriendly behavior, we will not hesitate to go to war at all costs."
The Demon General of Hatred Astaroth did not comment on Ryan's warning. He followed Ryan and Farasi with a smile, and walked side by side with Ghalib to the Iron Fist Castle. Farasi stared at the distant place with eyes full of hatred. Catherine glanced at her and found out that her behavior made Ryan aware of it, so the latter gently held Farasi's little hand to remind her not to be impulsive. Farasi's chest rose and fell rapidly. It was obvious that she was very excited inside, but as a Farasi, the Grand Consul of the Imperial Capital, finally chose to put the interests of mankind first, but even she did not notice that Farasi's nails had dug deeply into Ryan's palm, but the latter did not He endured it calmly,
Catherine didn't seem to see Farasi's hostility. She held the hand of Elf Queen Freya affectionately, and the two walked side by side in the last row of the entire team. In front of them were Orlando and Victor. With so many strong men holding the line, even if Astarot had any evil intentions, it would be enough to deal with him. Therefore, Alando did not follow Ryan and the others, but started to get busy with Barbara and others.
"Please take a seat." In the end, the only ones who followed Ryan and the others into the study were Ghalib and Victor. As the master, Ryan naturally had to entertain guests generously. Astarot looked at Ai with some curiosity. Ma served herself a glass of bright red Bordeaux, and couldn't help but said to Ryan: "I didn't expect that you are not that stubborn lord. I learned from your subordinates' thoughts that humans and the undead are hostile existences, but Your study actually uses a dead soul as a maid, and that underground dwarf. His face is full of confidence. If you didn't reuse him and give him the necessary respect, I believe this inherently humble race is It’s impossible to look confident.”
"I'm not used to enslaving others." Ryan replied lightly and sat on the chair.
"Haha." Astarot naturally would not argue with Ryan on this issue. He laughed a few times and sat on the chair. Then Astarot picked up the top-notch Bordeaux in front of him and took a sip. It came from the imperial capital. The delicious wine poured into Astarot's throat, making him feel happy, so Astarot simply drank the wine in the glass.
"Good stuff." Astarot couldn't help but praise, then put the wine glass back on the table with a smile, and said slowly: "Well, although I have a long life, I don't waste time. Bad habits, I know you don’t agree with the proposal I just made, but I believe you will understand after listening to my explanation that the opportunities are equal for you and me."
"Have you ever seen gods?" Astarot's first words immediately stunned Ryan and others, and Astarot was also satisfied that his opening remarks could achieve such an effect. He continued: " The seven kings of the alien world, each one from ordinary to legendary, to realm, to demigod, have spent countless years to have their current power. It can be said that looking at the entire alien world, at least until now, no one can. Competing with the seven kings, except for themselves, but this does not mean that the power of the seven kings ends here. In fact, as early as hundreds of thousands of years ago, there were already people who surpassed the demigod realm of these kings. , reaching another unimaginable new realm.”
"Actually, the kings of other worlds are not eternal. Old kings will fall and new kings will be born. The seven kings now are not from ancient times and have continued to this day. Although the replacement of old and new kings is very time-consuming, It’s a long time, but as the most powerful biological race in the other world, we Thor demons have always kept detailed records of these histories, so I can sit here today and tell you these secrets.”
"The birth of a new god is completely different from entering the realm of legend, realm, etc. A great god does not even need to possess any power. As long as he has his own unique godhead, he can control other creatures without godhead. Producing an overwhelming advantage, this is the power of God, Godhead, sounds strange, doesn't it? We can't understand this kind of power, but it is indeed a real existence." The Demon General of Hatred Astaroth At this point, his tone suddenly slowed down, his speaking speed also slowed down a lot, and there was a hint of melancholy in his voice: "According to the records of our Demon Sol, although the newly promoted god's godhead is unusually weak, it is only Relying on the newly realized power, they still crushed several kings and joined forces. At that time, there were a total of seventeen kings in the alien world, but after that battle, only eleven were left, and several of them were still joining forces. It fell hastily within a hundred years...
"Since then, the six surviving kings have gathered together and devoted themselves to research. After thousands of years of hard thinking, they finally found a way to be promoted to gods, and there are as many as two ways." Asta Lott's tone suddenly became excited: "The first one is to go through a long process and finally stimulate the energy in the body to successfully ignite the divine fire, thus possessing the godhead. Although this godhead is very small, its power can only be regarded as 0, but Whether you have it or not is a difference between quality and quantity. As long as you have the godhead, and over a longer period of time, I believe you can slowly grow your godhead, thereby improving your power as a god."
"This method is too futile. At least no one has succeeded in the past hundreds of thousands of years. But there is another method, which is even more unreliable than the first one." Astarot spread his hands and said: " That is to find a real god, defeat him, and seize his godhead. Haha, as mortals, how can we defeat a god with godhead? Even if the opponent still has a godhead with a power of only 0, we can use divine power to fight against the enemy. Unless they are demi-gods like kings, they will basically be wiped out without any resistance by the will of God. This is the power of God.
