After another arduous journey, Ivan finally managed to reach the palace of the Underworld God.
As Flint said, this place has been occupied by demons, and it has completely turned into a demon domain. After entering the underworld, Ivan walked all the way and met many underworld warriors who were eroded by demons and assimilated. The armor on their bodies, the arc in their hands The sharp blades are still there, but their bodies have been completely twisted and alienated into various disgusting appearances.
Some of them had eyes growing on their arms, and they turned around, and some of their heads turned into monsters with fangs and claws, choosing and devouring them.
It took Ivan a lot of effort to get out of their siege and interception all the way to the gate of the palace of the Underworld God.
The palace ruled by the underworld did not know what disaster it had suffered before. All kinds of thick beams and pillars were dumped on the ground, and together with the earth and stones, they completely blocked the way in. Ivan was too lazy to open the way and found a half-open door from the side. The small door opened, and touched it.
There was still a deep darkness behind the door, but in the center of this darkness, there seemed to be a little bit of fluorescence.
Ivan touched the little fluorescent light and walked to the door of the hall similar to the throne room, and tinnitus appeared in his ears again.
"It's been twice... this is the third time..."
Ivan gritted his teeth, and the two consecutive experiences gave him some experience. He supported the door frame in time so that he would not fall over.
He heard an indifferent male voice in his ear, making an oath:
"Humble, loyal, tenacious, industrious, thrifty, temperate, loving."
"In the face of a strong enemy, don't be afraid or fear, be brave and loyal, be worthy of your ancestors, be loyal and upright, rather die than surrender, protect the weak, and do not violate the law of heaven!"
"I swear..."
Here, this time, the voice in Ivan's ear suddenly turned into a chaotic noise.
In the darkness, an extremely evil voice was mockingly saying:
"Okay! No need to swear! I've heard enough of your lies! Hehehe!"
Boom, boom!
With the sound of heavy footsteps, a monster slowly walked out of the darkness.
It is covered with dark black mud-like body structure. These black mud blocks, like the most filthy original substance in the world, are constantly flowing and changing.
It has rough limbs and a head, but every time it takes a step, its body proportions are undergoing extremely obvious changes, and it looks like a huge ball of plasticine that is constantly shaking.
The light that Ivan saw before came from the bone staff he was leaning on. The top of the bone staff had huge spikes, and a human figure was penetrated from bottom to top by the spikes, and the whole body was All hung on it.
This man was wearing a silver mask and a pure silver battle armor with a long cloak, and that fluorescent light came from the gems inlaid on his helmet.
Ivan guessed that this was probably the legendary Lord of the Underworld.
"Unexpectedly, fresh rations are delivered to the door so quickly."
The black monster came to Ivan, and while speaking in a muffled voice, its head was twisted, and a huge, bloodshot pupil appeared.
Its line of sight fell, fell on Ivan, and suddenly froze.
"It's you!!"
It screamed, and the entire monster suddenly retreated quickly and hid in the darkness behind him. Ivan saw that its body seemed to be shaking.
"You recognize me?"
After the sound was cut off, Ivan recovered from the dizzy state, he was ready for battle, and asked at the same time.
"Huh? You don't recognize me?"
The pupil of the monster in the darkness suddenly appeared again, and it carefully observed Ivan for a long time.
"And your strength is much weaker now than before... Wait, you lost your memory, so it is, so it is—hahahaha, God is really helping me!"
After understanding Ivan's current situation, the monster in the darkness suddenly stepped out again. It came to Ivan, lowered its head, and looked at Ivan with a stinging look, with a sarcastic look in its pupils.
"Irony, really ironic! At the beginning, neither you nor I would have imagined that you would end up like this today!"
The monster circled around Ivan several times, as if admiring an exquisite masterpiece, tsk tsk.
"...I'm here just to find my lost memories. In the face of the end, I always have to know who I used to be."
Ivan held the hilt of the sword and always kept himself facing this huge black mud monster.
"If only you could tell me... Whoever you are, I don't want to be your enemy, I just want to know my original name."
"Name? Did you have a name back then?"
The black demon laughed and said:
"You are a tool man, a usurper, a knight of the dawn, the light of birth, that's what everyone else calls you. And I, I am your archenemy, I am the darkness, the primordial evil, the deepest The night! I am the king of demons!"
The black demon paused and continued:
"Got it, you and I are polar opposites, enemies that are absolutely impossible to be compatible. You said, I want to believe your nonsense?"
"What is the light of the first, the knight of dawn?"
Ivan frowned.
"Before the end of the world, none of this makes any sense, I just want to understand why I'm lying in that cemetery."
"The cemetery...? Didn't you rule this era?"
The huge black demon stretched out his illusionary fingers and gently touched the corpse of the god of underworld on the bone staff. The god of underworld twitched for a moment, and then the black demon suddenly laughed even more happily.
"Masterpiece! What a masterpiece! So this happened!"
The black demon rubbed his palms and laughed.
"I have to say, you humans, sometimes you can really do things that even our demons are amazing!"
It laughed for a long time, and Ivan looked at it with the eyes of mental retardation.
"Indeed, now you, even if you know the truth, I am afraid that you will no longer be my enemy."
The black demon looked down at Ivan condescendingly.
"I'll tell you about who you are, who I am, and who this dead man is."
"Are you actually willing to talk?"
Ivan was a little moved. He didn't expect that all the way to the present, the only leader-level unit that did not fight with him turned out to be a vicious demon.
He put down the hilt of the black sword, came to the front of the black demon, and sat down with his legs crossed.
"Ah, I'm happy to do this kind of thing."
The demon's black mud head opened a mouth full of sharp teeth, sketching out an evil arc.
"When you know the truth of the matter, you will naturally help me accomplish the things I want to do."
