"It's all Ernest's fault. He did it on purpose!"
"He doesn't bother telling lies to deceive the creatures of the world, but it doesn't represent him. He will take the initiative to explain when he sees others misunderstanding him!" At this time, Grazt, Lord of Darkness, spoke with resentment.
The surrounding air was filled with the smell of scorched earth, and it was a bit nauseating to smell.
This prophecy of prophecy has caused the abyss from which the "Lord" could be pushed out once again torn open again.
For demon lords with ancient nature, the flame of "ambition" will thrive and burn no matter how small it is. Who can say for sure that they are not the masters of the abyss
As one of the seventeen major planes, the abyss can definitely be ranked among the top ones in terms of its key importance.
Its full name, "The Bottomless Abyss of the Infinite Level," somewhat reveals the essential characteristics of this plane. Strictly speaking, it is the place where all Arthur's ugliness, chaos, and sins gather.
Each layer of the abyss extends downwards in a spiral, leading to the final place, the bottomless realm, full of cruelty and sin. Legend has it that the abyss has 666 layers, but most classics about the abyss guess that the specific number is much higher than this.
Generally, lords and even evil gods occupy one of the layers. From this, the number of lords in the entire abyss can be inferred. Therefore, the former "Graz'zt" was close to ruling the abyss, and it was worthy of its prestigious reputation as one of the three demon kings.
However, the abyss that is essentially "chaos" and can usher in a scene of "integration into unity" of order must be short-lived.
But to be able to achieve it for a moment is already an extraordinary achievement.
From this, it can be seen how much effort and effort the original Lord of Darkness, Graz'zt, put in to achieve such an average situation.
And all of this was ruined by a "misheard" prophecy.
No wonder now that Grazte mentioned the name Ernest, he wanted to kill him.
"It's just that you should go to the original Ernest. You should come to me, an ordinary fourth-ring mage, to ask for a promise. It's useless."
Zhao Xu continued, "I also asked Teacher Antinoya, and she confirmed with me that I am not the reincarnation of the arcane king Ernest, so if you want revenge, you don't want to find me. "
"Haha, if you are the reincarnation of Ernest, then even if it will attract the gods to come to the world when we meet for the first time, I will take the risk to come to Arthur in my true body, and then imprison you for the rest of my life." Grazte said .
"And I need your commitment because of the fate line on you."
"I have consumed the little remaining 'power of destiny'. I took a risk and stole it when Yeager was about to die. Because of his godhead, if I use some, I will use less."
"But it's worth it. With these divine powers, I can see the 'game breaker' characteristics in you."
As he spoke, Grazte laughed slyly, "Don't look at the fact that Antinoya is very fond of you and obedient to you now. She also likes your characteristic of breaking away from the constraints of fate. Ha, maybe she Still dreaming of Ernest’s return.”
"Of course she will depend on you, and may even ask you to sacrifice for it in the future. Because according to Arthur's current fate, no matter what the possibility is, there is no possibility of Ernest returning." Grazte said At this moment, I finally felt satisfied.
"Why?" Zhong Xia listened to the other party's words, and he didn't care at all about the offensive words in front of him.
But the "possibility" behind it made him extremely confused.
"It's very simple."
"If there is still a possibility of Ernest returning." Grazite sighed, "Then now, you see Antinoya."
"She will still be the master of Arthur's material plane."
"Even after Ernest left Arthur, he could not return to this point. He had to bear witness in person. Otherwise, he would not have used the 'secret' as bait back then. He was nominally asking the gods for the sake of the secret. , shelter Antinoya."
"Essentially, through the allure of the 'secret', a war among the gods was rekindled."
Speaking of this, Grazte also showed a look of yearning, "I was still very weak at that time, and for the first time I witnessed the situation where Arthur was almost beaten to pieces."
At this time, Zhao Xu turned sideways slightly, and his entire body still followed Antinoya's request before leaving, and never looked back.
"Even if I am the one who breaks the situation, a 'promise' won't help."
The former goddess of magic, Sisylvina, met him once in the long history, before she became a god, and she didn't even ask for a promise.
After granting him the status of a priest, and then rescuing him from Graz'zt in the Sacred Heart Cathedral, there was nothing unusual about the whole process.
In this way, he never gave a "promise".
The only time was to advance both sides of his "double elite" profession at the same time, and under the guidance of the stone tablet Qiqi, he made a vow to "defend magic until death."
"What's wrong?"
At this time, Grazte saw Zhao Xu becoming silent again, as if he was a little angry, "I have told you this ancient history, shouldn't you also show me your sincerity?"
"A promise that doesn't affect your future."
"I also promise you the same power. I will help you obtain the divine power of the abyss. This will allow you to become the 'lord' of one of the layers in the bottomless abyss."
At this time, in front of Zhao Xu's eyes, more than ten faint reflections like water suddenly appeared, and different scenes began to be reflected inside.
There was Zhao Xu sitting in the extremely luxurious palace. Next to him were dozens of maids who looked like human beauties. They were all wearing light veils and dancing seductively in front of him. Their flattering postures also exposed the nature of succubus. And below, there are thousands of powerful demons with close to legendary strength - "Barlow Fire Demon" kneeling on the ground, swearing allegiance to him.
There was also Zhao Xu standing on the bloody battlefield. He raised the staff in his hand, and suddenly a "mysterious storm" spread across the sky swept across the battlefield. Countless demons were smashed to pieces on the spot, and corpses were scattered everywhere.
There is also Zhao Xu walking on Arthur's surface. Behind him are iron-blooded cavalry wearing armor, spears and heavy shields, and riding noble horses. The charming princess in front is blowing a kiss to him, congratulating him on his triumphant return.
Zhao Xu also climbed up to the floating city, and Antinoya stood in the distance, looking at him with admiring eyes. The admiration was indescribable, and around him were countless mages who bowed and saluted with astonishment in their eyes.
More than ten future life directions were all displayed in front of Zhao Xu.
"Excuse me, can you still arrange these things for me that you can't do?"
Zhao Xu couldn't help but educate Graz'zt after he got up.
The previous ones are, at best, just exaggerations. The following paintings are so erotic that even Arthur's heroic epic novels would not dare to make such outrageous fantasies.
"Young man, what's the matter? What you see in front of you is not as good as what happened to Ernest back then." Grazte retorted.
"So it seems that you are unwilling to give me a promise. Are you destined to bear the wrath of the great Graz'zt alone?"
Face this question.
Zhao Xu also realized that his time for listening to the story had finally come to an end.
Graz'zt's "patience" with his good words and persuasion was completely exhausted, and he ushered in the moment when he needed to reap the rewards.
"Where did you take my mentor?" Zhao Xu suddenly asked.
In fact, from the moment Graz'zt began to tell, he kept thinking about why Antinoya suddenly disappeared.
With Antinoya's strength and her tone, Asmodeus, who rules hell, should be more careful. Most of the other abyss lords are just chickens and dogs.
Even if you live in the abyss, you can still rely on the "will of the abyss" to show off your power.
When Arthur really comes, she will kill him as many times as he comes.
However, this time, she miraculously missed the mark.
If Antinoya was really okay, she would have come looking for him long ago.
Suddenly, Zhao Xu's whole figure became motionless and sluggish, as if he had been greatly touched.
Countless questions swirled around in his mind, and he ushered in the moment of revelation, and everything in the past was reasonably explained.
He turned back sharply.
The next moment, Zhao Xu also disappeared.
