The void ushered in a long silence.
Joshua, who was already ready to attack, clenched his fist several times and unclenched it several times. He stared at the demon king in front of him who expressed his surrender. He wanted to open his mouth several times, but kept silent several times.
The punches of the strong are only thrown against the strong. Since Goliath broke his own weapon and reduced his strength and posed no threat, then Joshua did not punch at all during the period when he needed the Abyss Demon to do something for him. reasons.
"—No one will believe the devil's allegiance."
The sunken space gradually calmed down, and the stars of extraordinary power floating around the warrior were taken back into his body one by one. After Joshua took a deep look at the motionless Goliath, he turned away and shook his head: "But you made the right choice... At least until the threat of the unknown evil god is over, you don't have to worry about safety issues, and we don't have the extra power to destroy you."
Joshua turned around, his back to the Demon King, revealing a huge flaw - although, with the warrior's current state, he is equally impeccable whether it is the front or the side, the outside or the inside. If he is willing, he can attack it at any time They can all grow three heads and six arms, perfectly dealing with attacks from any direction.
But Joshua restrained all his defensive methods and directly exposed his flaws in front of Goliath.
However, faced with such an opportunity, the other party did not make the slightest move and remained where he was, maintaining that somewhat ridiculous posture.
"… Why?"
Still not looking back, Joshua looked at the dim stars in the abyss. He spat out a mouthful and then asked in a deep voice: "Endure humiliation for the sake of the demon clan? Are you willing to be a servant for the continuation of civilization? What if it is a five-color dragon, a dragon man or a Xibo Ya people?" I believe it, but it’s absolutely impossible for demons. They don’t understand what civilization and inheritance are at all. Demons are just beasts that stick together in groups. If it weren’t for the guidance of you big demons, they would prefer internal invasion to external invasion. fight."
"Goliath, tell me the reason for your allegiance."
The man's cold voice echoed in the dark void. Because of the previous battle between the two sides, the surrounding world had already deviated from its original orbit and moved toward the distance. Even the Sixth Abyss was far away from the battlefield, and facing Joshua Questioning, Goliath slowly raised his head, his eight eyes were calm, and he seemed not to feel any shame in his previous surrender and allegiance.
"There is no reason." It whispered: "If I have to say it, it is probably for the future."
Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly, and Goliath continued: "You are right, Soul Burner Radcliffe, I don't care about the 'Insect Civilization' at all, nor do I care about the 'Devil Group' -The insect civilization has long been destroyed due to self-inflicted internal fighting. They deserve to die. I am not an insect. Their civilization has nothing to do with me, and the latter is my tool. Their value is just that, basically. They are not my people."
"I don't care about the life or death of the demons under me at all, because I know that they are all beasts that are thirsty for chaos, blood-loving, and happy to fight among themselves and violence. They belong to me because I am the most powerful. And not because I'm their leader."
Goliath said this, his tone was extremely indifferent, and he didn't seem to be lying at all. He truly thought so, without any falsehood.
As the demon king who grew up in the acid wasteland, Goliath has no sympathy for the insect civilization. It even ate the last member of the insect civilization buried in the underground laboratory, completely ending the insect civilization. era, ushered in a new era of demons. But it also dislikes demons, and even thinks that those demons are just tools and not its people.
But, in this case, why should Goliath be loyal to the Joshua-Mycrof civilization? As a powerful man who is comparable to a god and possesses the will of the abyss, Goliath alone is almost equal to the entire demon group and the abyss world. As long as it wants to run away, no one can intercept him at present. It has no reason to break its own weapons. , make all the previous actions.
Joshua did not speak. He just continued to turn his back to Goliath, waiting for the other party to explain his reasons. Soon, the abyss lord spoke calmly.
"But a new generation has appeared - unlike those demons who were born in the Sixth Abyss and were born with chaotic nature, real 'devils' were born."
At this time, Goliath took back his broken scythes - it can be seen that the scythes are essentially the strongest part of the opponent's wing bones, but now, the wing bones are broken, making the big devil's wings look a little embarrassed. Distorted, but Goliath didn't care about it, and it continued to answer calmly: "Just half a year ago, the demon that I placed in other worlds, the demon that lives on 'part of my body', has been born in the world of order. a new generation.”
"As we all know, the will of the world rejects us refugees who burn, kill and plunder, but after the will of the abyss merges with me, my body is equivalent to the sixth abyss. As long as I place my body in other worlds, I can become a demon for the devil. Create an 'abyss of order' to deceive the world. And half a year ago, a new generation was born among the demon guards living in my body... They are demons with real souls, born completely naturally, and me Different, different from Helm, different from Saluka, Delair, and Grudia. He is different from us 'demons' who are condensed from countless soul fragments and gain intelligence. Their souls are complete. Yes, blank."
"Without the inheritance of the innate soul, without any power from the soul fragments of the previous generation, the power of these 'demons' is really weak and pitiful... But, so what."
At this point, Goliath actually showed a 'smile'. No one could imagine how terrifying a ferocious eight-eyed devil's smile would be, but it still 'smiled' and said: "The devil's mania, irritability, treachery, and Bloodthirsty, bellicosity, insanity and uncontrollable chaos are all caused by the incompleteness of the soul. A new soul cannot be born in the abyss, only intelligence made up of countless fragments. This innate condition is destined to be a demon. There is no intelligent life in this 'demonic' race that can develop normal intelligence amid the daily recurring illusions, headaches and mental distortions. The twisted madness originating from countless souls will tear apart all rationality."
"But they are different... They are normal creatures. As long as they grow up well, they are normal intelligent beings... I can even sense that they have a natural affinity for the 'shadow' in their bodies. This is the first time that this strange power has taken over. In a brand new creature, I feel that this is the blessing of the multiverse, as if it is rebirth... I even deduced a completely suitable practice method for them - different from us, different from all demons. "
Saying this, Goliath slowly raised his head. There was no longer lava-like light in its eight eyes, but it was like crimson crystal, with a blood-red color. For the first time, the abyss lord put on a pleading tone and whispered: "As long as Mycroft is willing to admit that 'they' are a normal order race and not regard them as demons."
"I will guarantee, until my death, the reliability of the loyalty of all demons in the Sixth Abyss."
Joshua turned around, and the silver eyes of the giant god met the crimson eyes. At this moment, Goliath did not see any emotion, any element, or any intention in the other's eyes. The other's eyes were blazing. It is pure and pure, and any thought seen from it is an impossible extravagance.
The only good thing is that there is no emotion, which means there is no murderous intention.
After a moment, with a rumbling echo like thunder, the giant god said dullly: "As expected of the gluttonous demon king, he is so greedy."
"Just by 'offering your loyalty', you want to gain the future, gain hope, and also want to gain my commitment and protection... This deal is so cost-effective, no wonder you don't hesitate to admit defeat when you say it, and surrender when you say surrender." .”
"However, Goliath, you have to be loyal to me and the Mycrovian civilization. What about the worlds that have been plundered and destroyed by you in the past hundreds of years? In those Mycrovian worlds, what are the worlds that have been destroyed by you? If the demon kills, what about the person who sacrifices?”
The giant god slowly approached Goliath. He raised his left hand, and the silver storm in his palm gathered, eventually forming a long and thick chain. He threw the chain in front of Goliath, then lowered his palm and held it in On the Demon King's right corner, the warrior said without any emotion: "I know what you are afraid of."
"You are afraid that it is not enough for us to kill you, nor is it enough to destroy the Sixth Abyss. We will even wipe out all existence related to you, including those 'demon of order' - but don't be afraid, I will not do that, I am Qiao Shua Van Radcliffe, Soulburner, Guardian of Order. Since those demons have never killed anyone, I will treat them equally."
"Even now, I have only one request for you demons - now, you go and rectify the abyss, and then send a demon who is familiar with the road to take me to the Nirvana of the Abyss through the River Styx as quickly as possible."
In Joshua's left hand, the light of order shone brightly. Accompanied by Goliath's groan and the suffocating breath of the abyss, the warrior raised his left hand, and a strange and mysterious talisman appeared on the right corner of the big devil's head. arts.
"If the unknown evil god awakens, your sacrifices, struggles, everything you carry, and the future you want to see will all be meaningless. Remember this, and then do your best to complete the mission."
The giant god whispered, then turned his head and stopped talking. Goliath endured the severe pain on his right horn and struggled to get up. It neatly tore off a shadow from the shadow of his wings, and then threw it towards Qiao Xiu. Ya.
"Although I don't know what the Nirvana of the Abyss is, but if you are referring to the source of the Styx River and the deepest part of the Abyss, I have indeed gone back."
Goliath picked up the chain left by Joshua, and the moment it was picked up, the chain automatically wrapped around his hands like a snake. The Abyss Lord did not resist the entanglement of the chain, but continued Said: "That is part of my soul, it will guide you to the deepest part of the abyss - but Mycroft's strong man, even me, has never really reached a place without any light, and we still have The abyss where demons live is different, it is the real 'ultra-dark abyss'!"
"Yeah."
After taking over the shadow, Joshua looked down and found that it was a group of soul entities that were constantly squirming and changing. Goliath did not lie. This was indeed the soul of a demon king-level demon, and there was no back-up plan. He put away this shadow soul, and then left without looking back, walking towards the depths of the abyss and void, leaving only a weak and calm voice echoing behind him.
"We'll shine a light on it."
Without any hesitation, after completing his goal, Joshua left the void around the Sixth Abyss.
Only Demon King Goliath, whose hands were entangled with chains of steel power, remained where he was.
The chain left by Joshua can be said to be fragile and vulnerable to an extraordinary powerhouse of its level. This kind of thing can seal an ordinary demon king who has just been promoted to legend, even if it is Helm. and Saluka can easily tear it apart.
But this is exactly Joshua's purpose - as long as Goliath explodes with all his strength, the aftermath alone will tear the chain into pieces, and he will immediately know that the demon king must have another move.
“…”
Silently touching the rune engraved on his right corner, Goliath didn't know what it meant, but whether it was the will of the abyss or its own instinct, it told it that this rune was not a 'monitoring' seal. 'Or something harmful such as 'blockade', or even conversely, it vaguely feels that this rune is even somewhat beneficial to it, but it is hidden very deep and is difficult to detect.
Without meditating for too long, Goliath's body disintegrated and turned into countless fragments - arms, leg bones, vertebrae, bone fragments, internal organs - countless body fragments containing powerful shadows and abyssal power, like a storm of flesh and blood. Flying in different directions in the void, only a hot crimson heart wrapped in silver chains circled in the void and flew towards the direction of the Sixth Abyss.
The Sixth Abyss, the top floor of the Valley of Tears Fortress.
Saluka, the only demon king left behind, stared at the sky. The crimson heart of the demon king fell to the earth like a meteorite. In the endless smoke and black clouds, it returned to the ground of the Sixth Abyss through the Great Rift Valley of the Abyss. Deep in the heart - the pulse of Goliath's heart maintains the last trace of vitality in the core of the Sixth Abyss. Just after it left for such a short period of time, the activity and temperature of the core of the Sixth Abyss dropped rapidly, forming a cliff. form fell.
"My king..."
Facing Goliath, who appeared in front of him in the form of pure shadow smoke, the Insect King knelt down respectfully to show his loyalty - but even so, Saluka's voice contained a trace of confusion and confusion. Anger: "I heard the arrogance of that human being - should we just surrender without any resistance? You know, we are demons, demons that make countless worlds tremble and tremble, and feel heartfelt fear when we hear our name!"
"And you are our king—"
"Stop it, Saluka."
Because his own flesh and blood is the Sixth Abyss, the Demon King, who did not leave any flesh and blood to himself, stood on the top of his fortress and shook his head to interrupt the questions and complaints of his subordinates.
It looked at the iron-black sky of the Sixth Abyss, the plains and mountains filled with poisonous gas, dust, haze and deathly atmosphere. After a long time, it whispered: "Don't you understand yet."
"Just because I am the devil, the king of demons—so I cannot be as short-sighted as the devil and behave like the devil."
Other than that, Goliath doesn't have any extra explanations or any extra actions.
But that's enough.
The Insect Demon Lord Saluka lowered his head deeply and said no more words. He might not be able to understand it, but he knew that he should accept the Demon King's order.
—Thousands of years ago.
The demon lords will never submit to any existence, let alone allegiance.
In the abyss, countless demon lords fight against each other. They conquer, kill, and invade each other. They unscrupulously consume the last refuge of the world and slaughter their own compatriots, just because this is fun and interesting, and they think this is the most consistent with their nature. ,
A powerful demon lord may be able to temporarily rule a large group of demon lords, form an abyss invasion towards the outside world, and wage war on other worlds, but that's it. As long as this demon lord dies, then it will An empire, a dynasty, a tribe, or a royal court—no matter what name or form, everything it has will fall into chaos, leaving no lessons or conclusions.
One demon king can rule one layer of the abyss, and two demon kings will start fighting among themselves. The demons will not obey the other. They will continue to conquer, fight among themselves, and consume. Even if occasionally a demon can be protected by the will of the abyss, at most That is to make an abyss a little more stable.
This era of extreme darkness, drowning in blood and evil, continues until a greedy soul opens its eyes.
Demon King Goliath. Except for the demon kings under it, no other demons can know what it desires. But what needs to be known is that in the past, the demon kings would never obey a strong man and would rather fight among themselves. For the first time, they gathered under one flag.
Smoking wind, acid rain, gloomy haze clouds, lightless sky, temperatureless sun, still looming gray stone mountains in the black mist and the winding River Styx that passes through the entire world.
It is these that constitute the long-dead world, the scenery of the Sixth Abyss.
The demon king who only has his own shadow, Goliath stands on his own Valley of Tears fortress made of bones and black iron - thousands of years of tears shed due to the suffering of all living beings are enough to wash out a Valley of Tears on the plain - No one knows why the gluttonous demon king used this as the name of his fortress.
But just like all demons don't know and don't want to know what the demon king desires in his heart, neither humans nor demons care about this.
—Despite being born in a dark world.
Looking at his territory and his hometown, the Demon King closed his 'eyes'.
-It cannot be said that demons can only enjoy shadows by nature and cannot desire fire and light.
Even if the flames are hot and dazzling, the temperature is enough to burn everything, even the shadows no longer exist.
is also like this.
