The boat moved slowly on the Styx River, seemingly so slow that it didn't move, but in fact it kept jumping between planes, shortening the distance to its destination.
The River Styx, which flows through countless planes, is full of silent dead, flowing in the quiet crevices of various worlds, harvesting the souls of those in chaos. If anyone is not worried about being taken away by the water of the River Styx, it is indeed extremely convenient to be in all planes. shuttle.
But unfortunately, only the boat of Ayer, the god of death, can cross the Styx, and the ship of the soul made by the demon Duke Kasronaki of the sixty-third abyss with the undead, even the boat and the Duke himself have been captured by Ayer. Eliminating it personally, in addition to proving Ayer's absolute prohibition on Styx's right of passage, it also proves that the God of Death, who rarely shoots, is not a good gentleman.
And it was me who cherished this rare experience.
The expensive Styx water (mainly because it is too difficult to take out) is right in front of you. It is an important material for countless top alchemy secret medicines and poisons, and I happened to be able to scoop it up. demon.
And soon, I found that after I scooped it up, I found that there was no container for the soul to store, so I asked Ayer, the watcher of the Styx to borrow it? What's the difference between that and the thief who thinks that the harvest is too much to carry, and asks the police to borrow sacks.
"You want Styx water? Take it."
It seems that this "policeman" really didn't take the things he was guarding seriously, and threw an old bottle at random, but in my system identification, it was a rare treasure.
[Bosser's drinking bottle, an ancient wonder, can hold seven different liquids. The water bottle has received the blessing of Bosser and never has to worry about the deterioration of the water quality]
Bosser is an ancient sea god, but he has already fallen into the past. It is natural for Ayer, who has gone through countless years, to have a wealth of wealth. It is also quite proud to give away an ancient treasure, but what surprised me was that There are already two liquids in it.
[The blood of the royal family of the first-generation human Alpine clan, and the blood of the diamond-level order, if the system is handed in when reshaping the body, it will provide a new type of body to choose from—these dark red blood has witnessed the rise and fall of countless populations. The first-generation citizens of order, who are equal to the ancient great demons, may not have much natural power in their blood, but they contain endless potential]
[The blood of the devil king, the diamond-level chaotic blood, if the system is handed in when remodeling the body, it will provide a new type of body choice—the collective degeneration of the first generation of humans has created the devil, an evil race that is comparable to the devil. These There is endless magic in the blood. But please note that power is not so easy to come by, the evil depravity of the devil blood is not exempt.]
"These?"
Ayer, the god of death, used to be the king of ancient humans. It is normal for him to have ancient human blood, but the blood of the devil king is the foundation of the king-level devil. Even if you kill it, you will not get it. Hand it over honestly, and let the Devil King bow his head. It seems that the rumor that Ayer and the Devil are colluding might still be true.
"You should reshape the body, although I don't know which method you plan to use to build the body, at least the materials are needed, and these should be able to be used."
Should I sigh about holding the right thigh? This is more than useful. If I had this before, I would not be complacent with the silver bloodline. The diamond bloodline directly crushes the existence of the golden race dragon bloodline. In front of this, Xiaohong That acquired half-diamond bloodline, the ancient dragon bloodline, which was promoted by the golden bloodline, is all scum.
So, watching me happily put away the bottle, Iyer shook his head, but said something else.
"By the way, didn't you say the underworld and hell last time? There are ghost pawns among them? Did you know that our world also has hell?"
Of course I know, but it's not the same thing at all. My hell is more of an underground prison, used to imprison and torture sinful souls, while the hell in the world of Ashe is all inhabited by devils.
"I told little Tias that if the underworld really came into being, he would be willing to give up hell, and he would also let all the devils learn to be jailers."
Little Tias? Camille Tias? The head of the nine devil kings? Let the other party let out hell and become the underworld? I finally determined that the rumor was wrong. It seems that it was not Ayer who colluded with the devils, but that the devils were Ayer's subordinates at all!
This seemingly easy chat suggestion reveals the biggest secret in the world, and there are countless risks. This is not only a kind aid, but also a boast of collaborators to show their strength, and it is also a dangerous temptation.
But if powerful devils join this plan, the natural success rate is much higher. Of course, the premise is that their existence cannot be exposed. After all, their terrible reputation will make many things more complicated.
However, the realization of the plan is my highest goal. Since it is a good thing that is of great help to the plan, I have nothing to refuse. Of course, my brothers and sisters will settle accounts, and some things must be said clearly.
"Yes, but the leader of the underworld and the highest judge must still be controlled by the sleepless. Then, what exactly are the devils planning to gain from this plan, let's be honest, otherwise it's really worrying."
Yes, the devil is notoriously cunning, how can unprofitable things be done.
"free."
No matter what Ayer said, I wouldn't be surprised, but these two words are incomprehensible. free? Could it be that the powerful devil race was actually enslaved? That belongs to the future underworld control, isn't it still being controlled by others
"It's not freedom in appearance, but real liberation. You also know that once they become high-level demons, even if they die in other planes, they will just go back to hell and their strength will be damaged. And once they die in the lower planes, It's truly ruined."
Vaguely, I guessed what Ayer meant.
"Does that mean reincarnation?"
"Yes, in order not to participate in the so-called holy war, my clan collectively took refuge in the goddess of chaos. As a result, every time the so-called holy war is now, the devils still become cannon fodder. And those old guys are tired of being the devil's cunning life. And constantly fighting, they hope to be liberated, but do not want to lose their souls. But the road of Styx reincarnation can be open to any race, and devils and demons are not to be thought of, after all, they are the main force of jihad.”
"How many? This can't be a decision made by the whole family. How many of the nine devil kings agree?"
"Including Little Tia, the four ancient devil kings who were transformed by ancient humans nodded their heads. Of course, it's not that others disagree, but we didn't talk to them at all, and we don't plan to talk to them."
Another secret covenant in the gutter? However, I like it, your reputation is too stinky, and if it is exposed, this kind of secret covenant is the most suitable.
So, next, it's time to negotiate the contract.
The devil's contract is famous all over the world, but as long as you can bypass all its text traps, it is definitely the most effective contract in the world, and the contract signed by the devil himself cannot be replaced by the abyss of chaos.
Even if the devils are really sincere and the terms are quite kind, since you are looking for me to cooperate, it doesn’t mean that I am a little stupid if I don’t knock at the door. In the compliments of "You are more like a devil than a devil" and "You are more greedy than a devil", in the end, the contract got a result that satisfied me.
"Lord Ayer, are you tired too?" Looking at the desire of the devil kings for reincarnation in the contract, I also have a new view of Ayer, who is also bound to the throne of death.
"No, no, the world is so beautiful, and the evolution of various races is quite interesting. I still have a lot of things to do. Although this position of death is indeed a bit uncomfortable, it is also very leisurely, so I don't have much opinion. It's just that I am a king after all, so naturally I have to consider the expectations of my subjects, if you are also a king, you should be able to understand."
Nodding, I didn't ask any further, but I was interested in some past events. The Ayer in front of me looked young, but was a super old monster who was the same generation as the two goddesses. Perhaps, I can get a lot of real secrets from him.
"Asteria, the goddess of order, and Cynthia, the goddess of chaos, you should have seen them. How did they exist and why did they cause the eternal war."
Ayer glanced back at me, that seemingly ordinary gaze made people tremble from the bottom of my heart, but I didn't care, anyway, this person who wants to kill anyone, God is easy, barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes, missed it It's such a pity to hear such a secret thing from ancient times, and I have nothing to be afraid of.
In the end, Ayer sighed and said helplessly.
"Mother God, she is a good woman, she regards all life as her children, but sometimes, excessive maternal love will limit the development of children, she expects all races to live as she expects, but that How is that possible. And Sister Cynthia is at the other extreme. She likes to watch gladiatorial fights and wars, and admires those indomitable warriors. She hopes that her people can evolve independently. Do you believe it? Demons aren't really evil, they just like all kinds of competitive sports..."
Above this small river, time is not a problem. Countless ancient mysteries are said in the mouth of this ancient god. It is obviously a thrilling epic legend, but it is said by this seemingly young and oldest man. It was the two unfilial sons of the neighbor's house fighting in the street again. It was obviously the bloody replacement of the ancient gods, but he said it was an eight o'clock file full of hatred between men and women, but I was still addicted to it.
"Well, this may be used. I didn't expect the demons to have this weakness." Yes, the past is intelligence, and intelligence is the cornerstone of future victory. Such an opportunity is probably only once in this life. Why don't you hurry up.
…
When the boat docked, I was relieved, but a little nervous at the same time.
Eliza also seemed relieved to see me.
This is a dark river in the underground world, but driven by the god of death, it turned into a part of the Styx, and as soon as I went ashore, the flowing Styx and Iyer dissipated together.
"I am back."
"Hmph, you finally remember to come back. Then, I'll buy your old house for the time being to repay my wages."
"Hey, hey, don't cross the river and demolish the bridge. If you don't call the master, you don't need the honorary title. As soon as the master leaves, he sells the master's house. Does that make sense?"
"Is there any honorable title between lovers? Or, do you like this kind of shameful play of master and servant?"
"What?"
"That's too much! Playing stupid, didn't you agree to my confession?" Eliza faked crying...
Thinking of that stupid confession, I'm a little overwhelmed.
"Does that count? At that time... "
"Hmph, isn't that enough? Why am I a girl? As a man, it's enough for you not to confess, and you think I'm being subtle?" Eliza slapped the table and roared, but I, who knew her well, couldn't see it. The outrageous voice was stern and worried, and she was worried that I would "repent."
"This..." After hesitating for a moment, in the end, it seemed that I did owe too much. Thinking of the figure who was always unwilling to step back under the light of order, and seeing her current appearance, I had no intention of asking.
"Okay, okay, is Sulphur Mountain City okay now?"
"Sulphur Mountain City is very good, but the old city owner Adam is very bad." Although she said so, it can be seen that I did not firmly deny or regret it, but she was very happy.
While lamenting that I actually had a day when I had a girlfriend, I was a little strange to hear that Adam was not good.
"Well? Did something go wrong when resisting Symmetra that day? There was something wrong with the Titan's heart? My transplant should be fine. Adam's rough skin shouldn't be that fragile."
"No, it wasn't that the Sleepless One had just been conferred a god, and he and Margaret announced their relationship and planned to get married. As a result, there were rumors that 'Sir Adam was tragically abandoned by the Sleepless Lord, and Lord Margaret took advantage of it'. There are also playwrights who took this as the theme and compiled it into the just published legend of the Sleepless, which is now a big sale in Brimstone City, especially the past feud, which was really sadistic and horrifying. I didn’t expect that we were There are still so many grievances and hatreds. By the way, aren't you and Adam really biological brothers? Don't you have a fiancee with leukemia?"
"Grievance, love and hatred, your sister! You didn't recall the memories of Lisa, you were the party and you listened to those messy nonsense. Damn, that rumor that I had an affair with Adam actually has a follow-up. By the way, isn't this a rumor you spread? How dare you say it!"
But Eliza spoke with plausibility.
"Of course, as a real girlfriend, you naturally have the right to supervise your healthy private life."
"Okay, then, as a real boyfriend, can I ask what's going on with you now? Why are you just a clone now, and when did you have the ability to project a clone!"
Yes, I have long discovered that the Elise in front of me is Elise, not Elise, she is just a projection of a clone, and such abilities are often only available to the true gods of the upper planes, the demons and devils of the lower planes. Have!
"Hehe, I still can't hide it from you. Now, I'm not a half-demon Elise, please call me the Marquise Elise. Congratulations, a marquis-level demon girlfriend who is unparalleled in the world."
Marquise? Even if Elise is demonized, it is impossible to reach the sky in one step? It surpassed Kakagili in an instant, how is this possible? What happened in the past two months!
And when she was surprised and inexplicable, Elise's projection became illusory. It seemed that it was time to maintain the projection clone.
"Okay, it looks like today's projection time has arrived. I wrote all the ins and outs of the matter in the letter from the desk in the old house. You can also go back and ask Annie."
Suddenly, Elise had already begun to dissipate, but she leaned over, raised her hair, lowered her head, and kissed her red lips lightly. Just touched, she felt a little cold, but she moved away again.
With a flushed face, she smiled, like the happiest woman in the world.
"Well, the goal is achieved, then, don't worry about it, be careful that I will suddenly attack and check."
Next, the projection clone dissipated in the air, leaving only a surprised me and a silver ring on my hand.
"Elise!!"
An ominous premonition lingered in my mind, and the cry of the soul echoed fiercely by the dark river. Did I just have a girlfriend and I was going to become a bachelor in an instant
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in his ears.
"I'm not dead yet, stop screaming, it's so loud, my ears are numb."
Eliza's voice came from the ring.
At this moment, in a certain battlefield in the lower plane, the silver-haired female demon Marquis was lying on her throne, commanding the battlefield in front of her leisurely and speaking to the familiar skull on her arm.
In front of her, there is an endless army of demons fighting bloody battles. It is a demon count who is rebelling. As a demonic marquise who is favored by the abyss and ascends to the sky in one step, she has many challenges to face.
"I said, I will not let it go, whether it is the power to control my own destiny, or you, remember, when I come back, never take off the ring, let alone worry about it, otherwise, that day's You remember things. To tell you the truth, your skull is now an adornment on my crown!"
Well, in the face of this lovely threat, I was at a loss again, and in the end, I could only turn into a helpless sigh.
"Hey, system, the task is handed in, I want to resurrect."
