Chapter 969 The Sentence of Asmodeus
There is no love without reason in the world, and there is no hate without reason.
Especially for those who are very rational, hating someone unforgettable often requires very sufficient reasons.
Because whether it is revenge or making the other party pay, there is a very high cost.
Perhaps for those who are impulsive and willful and never consider the consequences, as long as they can vent the anger in their hearts, it doesn't matter what happens next, anyway, they will be happy.
But for rational people, if the consequences of revenge far outweigh the benefits, then they will choose to give up unnecessary hatred.
This is why many successful people always appear to be generous and not care about anything.
This is not because they have no emotions, but after calming down, they think about the pros and cons and choose the most appropriate and suitable way to deal with it at the moment.
The biggest characteristic of this type is that they never express their emotions and sorrows easily on their faces. Even if they get angry occasionally, it is just for performance, in order to achieve some ulterior purpose.
You don’t need to ask to know that Asmodeus is undoubtedly the most representative of them.
Whether it was his tolerance for Prince Levistus' murder of his wife at the beginning, or his later forgiveness of the plane lords who plotted to launch a rebellion to replace him for the sake of the stability of the political situation, it can be seen that every decision he made was unadulterated. Even if there is a little bit of personal emotion, absolute rationality will be implemented throughout.
Hate, anger, impulse and other emotions that can easily make people lose their mind seem to have never appeared in the Lord of Hell.
Including the famous great purge, it was all about warnings and punishments.
But now, facing Zafkiel, the leader of the Seven Martyrs of Heaven, Asmodeus rarely showed naked and undisguised hatred.
Even ignoring the overwhelming advantage of the demon army under his command, he walked out from the heavily protected army and faced the opponent directly.
This very abnormal approach even made many devils around him wonder whether the Lord of Hell was a substitute or another big devil pretending to be one.
After all, there is no precedent for such a thing.
And there are too many rumors about Asmodeus. For example, the most well-known one is that his current appearance is not his true form, but an incarnation or projection shaped by powerful power.
So in fact, no one in the entire Bator Hell knows the true identity of the Lord of Hell.
He himself has never participated in even a single battle.
Yes, you heard it right.
Since the birth of the Baatezu Devil and the beginning of recording its own history, there has been no record of the Lord of Hell. All speculations are rumors that have been passed down by word of mouth and cannot be verified.
You must know that Baator Hell is not a bottomless abyss. The strong tendency to law means that the huge bureaucracy will operate in a rigid manner from the moment it is established, and there will be absolutely no mistakes.
And the history of the devil is coherent and uninterrupted, unlike the situation in the abyss where the Tanar'ri demon replaced the Obiris demon and became the master.
This means that all real information about Asmodeus has been deliberately hidden.
So who can do this?
The Lord of Hell himself, of course.
Why would he hide all true information about himself, including his origins?
There must be many unknown secrets hidden behind all this.
Especially the rumors about Asmodeus may not be groundless.
Just when the devils began to think wildly, Zafkiel could no longer hold back the surging murderous intent in his heart and rushed over with his arms marked with the stigmata raised.
The Lord of Angels obviously knew very well that the only way to defeat the all-out attack of the evil army was to decapitate him, because he defeated or even killed the Lord of Hell.
Otherwise, no matter how desperately the Archon Protoss’ army fights, they will eventually be drained of their last drop of blood by enemies who are far more numerous than them.
"Stop him!"
The Devil Guards, who have always been very loyal, obviously noticed the opponent's intentions. Hundreds of Hell Fiends immediately took a fighting stance and tried to block this dangerous enemy.
Unfortunately, in front of Zafkiel, who represented the projection of the will of the seventh heaven mountain plane, they could not hold on for even a second. They were directly dismembered, torn, and melted by the sacred energy shot from the stigmata, and finally Not even a tiny bit of residue was left behind.
The devastating destructive power is simply not inferior to the powerful body of divine power.
There is no doubt that this is the real strength possessed by the leader of the Seven Heavenly Realm Association, and it is also the capital that allows him to command the entire Seventh Heaven Mountain. All the gods who settle here must bow to him.
Unfortunately, when Zafkiel wanted to do the same thing and seriously injure the Lord of Hell, Asmodeus slowly raised the ruby-encrusted scepter in his hand and pointed lightly.
Boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
The terrifying energy shock was shot out instantly, knocking this powerful opponent away on the spot, and the whole person fell from the sky to the ground, creating a huge pit.
“Tell me, Zafkiel, what gave you the courage to challenge me? Have you forgotten how you ran away in embarrassment? Or do you think you have become stronger over the years? "
Asmodeus raised his hand to signal other devils not to approach, and then walked straight to the edge of the pit with a mocking smile on his face.
It is not difficult to tell from the tone and attitude that not only do the two have quite a lot of old grudges, but he is also the one who always suppresses the other.
But fortunately, just a few seconds later, Zafkiel flapped his golden wings and flew out of the pit. He did not seem to have suffered any obvious damage, but the light emitted changed. Got even more intense.
"Asmodeus! As long as I am alive, your dirty ambitions and evil plans will never be realized."
"Oh? What if you are going to die?"
The smile on the Lord of Hell's face became even wider.
In an instant!
Zafkiel's face suddenly changed, and he asked in an unbelievable tone: "Are you really going to risk the disapproval of the world to conquer the Seventh Heaven Mountain? The elemental plane will not allow you to break the relationship between kindness and kindness. The balance of evil!”
"Hahahaha!
It seems that you haven't realized what happened, right?
Keep your eyes wide open and take a good look at the battlefield, and then think about the love-thorns of the chaotic and good camp and the Why did the reinforcements of the elves and gods suddenly retreat?
Are you so naive as to think that this was all a coincidence?
No, idiot, all of this happened before the war started? It's doomed.
At this moment, you and I are both pawns!
And Soth is the one hiding behind the scenes who really controls the overall situation.
It’s ridiculous that you have always regarded me as the most vigilant enemy and taken strict precautions against me.
But in fact, he has secretly signed a contract with those kind gods, elemental planes and those forces that abandoned you, a contract that can kill you.
Don’t worry, I don’t intend to balance good and evil, let alone occupy this land of goodness.
There is only one thing I have to do, and that is to complete the feat of conquering the Seventh Heaven Mountain, to complete an unprecedented victory of evil over good, and to kill you, the enemy.
After doing all this, I will choose to retreat and just use the first level as the eternal battlefield between good and evil. ”
Asmodeus’s eyes flashed with evil red light, and while laughing unbridled, he revealed all the answers to the mystery.
There is no doubt that he likes Zavki very much. The confusion on El’s face at this moment With expressions of shock, astonishment, fear, and despair,
Because the Lord of Angels never dreamed that although he, the Lord of Hell, was the initiator of the war, he was not the real controller.
Zuo Si, who seems to have chosen to remain neutral and has no direct relationship with the war, is the one who has been firmly controlling the rhythm.
"This...how is this possible! You are actually willing to give up your dominance?"
Zafkiel's tone contained a hint of trembling and horror.
Based on his understanding of Asmodeus, this evil devil king will never allow himself to be led by others no matter what he does.
So the coping strategies he formulated have always been based on trying to figure out the other person's mind.
"Haha, yes, that's the reaction.
I knew that your stupid head would not be able to figure out the complicated logic behind the whole thing.
You think I want to give up the leadership of the war? Right?
No, I have never had such an idea.
It was Soth who took the initiative from me through a series of means. >
Because he needs the victory of evil to happen at this moment, and he needs to get huge power feedback from this process and result.
But you have been ignoring him, thinking that he will just sit on the sidelines like before.
But don’t forget, Soth has been an out-and-out devil from the moment he joined Hell.
The fragrance of evil exuding from his soul far exceeds that of most evil gods.
Especially the evil heart he had just gathered not long ago, he can gain unimaginable power from this victory of evil over good.
So not understanding Soth at all is the biggest and most fatal mistake you make in this war. ”
When he said these words, Asmodeus’s eyes revealed a very rare trace of pity.
No one knew better than him that the man who looked gentle on the outside was , polite, humble, elegant, and even a very good young man who treats the lower-level civilians within the scope of his rule. How dangerous it is.
All these deceptive appearances are actually based on the premise that there is no fundamental conflict of interest.
Give civilians a better life. It's because Zuo Si just doesn't need those things that civilians need.
What he needs is not material things, but the faith that those civilians can provide while they are alive, and the souls after death.
In addition, he also has the characteristics of a tyrant, that is, he treats the common people as his own private property, just like the cattle and sheep raised in his own pasture. They naturally want to be fat and strong and multiply and expand. Herd size.
But once there is a fundamental conflict of interest, Zuo Si will turn into the most terrifying destroyer in the world in minutes.
"Where is Soth?!"
Zavkiel began to look around nervously, trying to find this most dangerous enemy by extending his perception range.
In his opinion, since the other party secretly planned everything, he would definitely join forces with the Lord of Hell to ambush him.
Asmodeus replied contemptuously: "Don't look for it, he is not here, not even in our universe.
Because your fate has been determined a long time ago. There is no possibility of escape.
Look down at your feet now.
The thread of fate has already entangled you tightly here. ”
The words have not yet been spoken!
Zavkiel, who didn’t feel anything unusual at first, suddenly found that at some point in his hands, feet, and body, a vague and non-existent "" that was neither energy nor matter appeared out of thin air. Wire".
He also wanted to release the power of the stigmata to tear apart this bondage, but he was horrified to find that his connection with the Seventh Heaven Mountain had been cut off at some point, and he could not get rid of it no matter how hard he struggled.
"No! This is impossible! What have you done to me?"
The Lord of Angels roared like crazy.
The other rulers of the Heavenly Mountain level wanted to rush over to help him, but were stopped by the demons who were far more numerous than themselves.
“What have you done?
Of course it is to isolate your destiny from the Seventh Heaven Mountain and even this universe.
Do you think that since the war started, I have occupied every corner of the area? What are they doing?
Is it just plundering resources and enslaving prisoners?
In this way I am constantly weakening the connection with your will to the plane.
Now, you are no longer the embodiment of the will of the seventh heaven mountain plane, you are just an abandoned loser. "
Asmodeus slowly walked up to the enemy, raised one of his big hands, grabbed the opponent's wings that exuded the sacred aura, and pulled hard.
Tear off!
“Ahhhhh! ! ! ! ! ”
Accompanied by heart-rending screams, the wings of the Lord of Angels were forcefully pulled off, and blood containing astonishing energy sprayed out from the wound. The ordinary devils below would be burned to death in just a few seconds if they were contaminated with just a few drops.
In the blink of an eye, all his wings were torn off, leaving only the bloody wound on his back.
You don’t need to ask to know that this is a naked and undisguised humiliation and public execution.
When the soldiers of the coalition of good camps saw Zafkiel being treated like an animal by Asmodeus, and even the wings that represented holiness and glory were torn off, they all closed their eyes and couldn't bear it. Keep watching.
Asmodeus did not know where he took out a great sword burning with red hell flames, and declared in an extremely solemn voice: "A long time ago, the bloody battle between demons and demons had not yet begun. A group of guys who claim to be kind and righteous came together to plan a shocking conspiracy.
They wanted to make evil kill each other, so they wanted to kill each other. The trap was set to trigger the bloody battle.
Zavkiel was the mastermind.
It was this cunning and despicable man who forced us to devote a lot of our lives to the Eternal. Wearing each other out on the static battlefield
I have been plotting this revenge for many years.
Now, it's finally time to pay off the debt.
I hereby declare that Zafkiel is guilty for provoking the biggest war in the entire universe and causing the death of countless lives!
At the same time, he was sentenced to death! Execute now! ”
As the last word blurted out, the Lord of Hell raised his sword and chopped off the enemy’s head.
Poof!
Along with the blood spurting out and the head flying into the air and exploding, the originally sunny sky suddenly dimmed, and it turned from day to night in less than two or three seconds.
The sun lost all its light as if it was caught in a solar eclipse.
The horrifying sight caused all the outer planes and even the entire universe to shake violently.
The kind people seemed to feel something, and they knelt on the ground and began to cry and pray, while those who revealed the evil spirit from their bones looked up to the sky and laughed.
Because from this moment on, the balance between good and evil is completely out of balance.
And that weird and terrifying celestial phenomenon is the most direct indication.
On the battlefield, all devils, demons, yugoloths, evil gods and their followers, including Asmodeus, have all become more powerful than ever before.
The power of the Archon Protoss has obviously declined, and some low-level members cannot even use spell-like abilities.
"No!!!! How could this happen? How could we, who represent justice, lose?"
Some paladins and even the Archons collapsed mentally, or sat down in disbelief. On the ground, or in frantic shouting with tears streaming down his face.
Unfortunately, none of this has any effect.
"This is a historic moment! The entire universe will remember this day! I am Asmodeus! The Lord of Hell who leads the war between evil and good! I am evil!"
Asmodeus held up Zafkiel's headless body and declared victory.
His voice seemed to have some incredible power, passing directly through the obstacles of planes and crystal walls and reaching the heart of every living thing.
From this moment on, when people think of evil, the first thing they think of is no longer those evil gods or demons, but the devil who represents lawful evil.
Because the Lord of Hell led them to create an unprecedented miracle.
"This is truly the darkest and most shameful moment for the entire good camp."
The tone of Tyr, the God of Justice, revealed anger and sadness.
Before Thom beside him had time to speak, Gramiel comforted him with a smile: "Please don't be so sad.
This is only temporary.
< br>
According to the contents of the contract, Asmodeus will choose to retreat after a few days at most.
At that time, you can take the opportunity to regain Heavenly Mountain and let the light of worship once again envelope the entire plane. "
"Humph! I hope you can keep your promise. ”
Tear made an angry, dissatisfied, but helpless voice.
Because he could clearly see that at this moment, on the periphery of the entire country, from the ninth level of Baator Hell The army has completed the siege, and the New Phyrexia gods with divine personality and power are also watching.
The reason why the good gods did not help Zafkiel and the chaotic good camp suddenly chose to retreat was actually not entirely an excuse, but a real threat.
After all, no one knows whether these seemingly pretentious terrorist armies will actually launch a sudden attack if they do not agree to sign the contract.
So strictly speaking, what they did was not a betrayal, but closer to a compromise under duress.
"Don't worry, we always keep our promises. If Asmodeus does not leave by then, the master who successfully seizes the crown will come to him personally to argue his interests."
said. After that, Gramir put one hand on his chest and bowed to the good gods, and then disappeared from the spot.
Disappearing with her were the unprecedentedly large and well-equipped demonic Astartes legions.
Watching the last target disappear into the portal, Ilmat, the God of Suffering who was originally tense, breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "Judging from the current reaction, they should not Go back on your word. Now is the time to send out people to save those innocent people who are still being enslaved and tortured. "Don't you think Soth's power is a little too strong?"
Tyr, the God of Justice, couldn't help but ask.
"No, my friend. His power has probably exceeded that threshold a long time ago. Now we can only hope that he understands the importance of the balance of the universe, otherwise it will not matter to us or to mortals There will be catastrophe and destruction.”
Unspeakable bitterness appeared on Ilmat's face.
......
At the same time, far away in the time and space of Ravnica, Zuo Si has obviously felt the huge feedback he received from the heart of evil after evil defeated good, and quickly used this power to Transform into something of your own.
When he opened his eyes again, an abstract symbol that had never appeared before suddenly appeared in his pupils.
It looked a bit like the number seven, but not quite, and it only appeared for less than a second to have a devastating impact on the entire plane of Ravnica.
The planeswalkers, who were already locked in a bitter battle with the Eternal Legion, and the local natives, all had irreconcilable conflicts due to their rising ambitions and desires for unknown reasons.
Some even broke out into internal strife and started killing each other.
"Master, are you okay?"
Gramiel, who had just teleported all the way from Seventh Heaven Mountain to report the results, asked with an extremely concerned tone.
Zuo Si smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm fine, as good as ever. You did a good job this time, and you lived up to my trust and training in you."
"Thank you for your compliment. If possible, I hope to continue to follow in your footsteps until I see you ascend to the supreme throne."
Gramir held up one of Zuo Si's hands and kissed the back of it affectionately to express his gratitude. own respect, adoration and obedience.
"Okay. Let's gradually transfer the people from Baator Hell. If nothing else happens, Nicol Bolas should activate the Eternal Sun to block the space soon..."
Zuo Si was just halfway through what he said when he suddenly felt some incredible power sweeping through the entire Ravnica space and time. Then his planeswalker spark could no longer teleport across time and space.
You don’t need to ask to know that War of the Spark has finally officially entered its second stage.
Before Gramir had time to ask what happened, he saw a terrifying phenomenon suddenly appear in the distant sky, and then several immortal evil gods were summoned, deeply shocking those who were still trying to unite to defeat Ni The planeswalker of Kor Bolas.
After all, most ordinary planeswalkers are not very powerful and cannot be compared with real gods.
But now, their enemies have made the gods into summoned creatures in the form of undead. How can this be accepted?
"That...that's the fanatical god Hazoret! Oh my God! What happened?"
The planeswalkers who had been to the time of Amonkhet screamed in horror.
Just when everyone was shocked by the unmatched power of the Eternal Evil God, the Eternal Evil God Hazoret, holding a spear, rushed straight towards the two siblings who were fighting.
“Go away! Don’t bother me!”
Obviously little Annie didn’t take this god seriously. She started with an amazingly powerful divine-like spell and used it with a bang. It fell from the sky.
Graia, the Prince of Darkness, was no less impressive. He swung his sword and stabbed another Immortal Evil God directly.
Realizing that their fighting had attracted Lao Long’s attention, the two of them immediately chose to stop.
After all, they just compete with each other and dislike each other. There is no deep hatred, and they are still a family.
It can still maintain a tacit understanding when facing powerful foreign enemies.
It turns out that the judgment of these two little guys was correct.
Not long after the Immortal Evil God appeared, Nicol Bolas descended from the sky and looked at the two young men up and down with slightly amused eyes.
After half a minute, he raised his head slightly and asked: "Who are you? Why have I never heard of you, let alone seen you?"
"Huh! Who am I and why do I have to tell you? Who are you?"
Little Annie put on a arrogant look and acted in her true self.
Graia, the Prince of Darkness, chose to remain silent and only stared with vigilant eyes at the elder dragon planeswalker who was regarded as the biggest enemy by his father.
“Hahahaha!
Well, it seems you are newbies who have just ignited the spark.
Otherwise, it is impossible that you have not heard of my name.
But it doesn’t matter. I’m in a good mood today, so I won’t argue with you.
Now I give you a chance, a chance to swear allegiance to me.
In return, I will allow you to continue to exist as planeswalkers.
Otherwise, you will lose your precious spark today. ”
Nicol Bolas issued an ultimatum to the two siblings in an extremely forceful manner.
Obviously, he took a fancy to the huge potential of these two little guys and wanted to train them to become his capable subordinates.
After all, he is about to become the Dragon God, and as a god it is impossible to do everything by himself, so he must have a group of capable subordinates who take orders from him.
Forget about trash like Tezzeret, it would be a bit embarrassing to take him out.
Xia En VII is not bad and can be kept.
As for Zuo Si...
Nico Bolas didn't think this ambitious guy would be willing to be his subordinate.
So he urgently needs to recruit a few powerful planeswalkers who can do the job.
The battle between little Annie and Grea undoubtedly aroused his love for talent.
"Can you take away our planeswalker spark?"
Little Annie tilted her head and pretended to say "I don't believe it."
Nicol Bolas did not speak, but whispered half a spell.
In an instant!
A ball of light was about to come out from the girl's chest, frightening her so much that she quickly used all her strength to bind it tightly within her body.
