After Zariel died and the Hells Legion was repelled, the army of the Ashes Empire quickly entered August City, and the soldiers were lined up in neat rows, walking quickly along the streets.
"Put down your weapons and stop making unnecessary resistance. The imperial army only kills evil leaders and has nothing to do with ordinary soldiers!" The electronic synthesized sound echoed in the city.
Crowds of airships docked over the city, casting huge shadows and covering countless buildings. Steam tanks ran over the streets, and hot white smoke spewed out from the whistle, and the engines kept roaring.
The tall armor also walked slowly, and every step he took would cause the ground to tremble and attract countless Thracians with curious eyes in fear.
Soon, important buildings such as the Sun Palace, the Eternal Sun God Tower, and the Thrace Treasure House were occupied by imperial soldiers. After several wars, they were already familiar with this process.
During this period, the Imperial army encountered little resistance from the Thracians.
Only those Wilham's close friends - those Thracian nobles who signed a contract with the devil were still resisting.
Earl Thrace, entangled by heavy chains, transformed into a devil, spewing out of his mouth with a surging hellfire and letting out an angry roar.
"Mortals, hell will eventually come!"
"Your souls will be the nourishment for Aphonas!"
"Zarel was crushed to death by His Majesty, and he is still making a fuss about it here and open fire for me!" The half-dragon officer waved his saber, his words full of disdain.
The specially made bullets carried a faint holy light, pouring over like a rainstorm, knocking the Thracian noble who had transformed into a sieve.
The magma-like blood splashed everywhere, burning tiny holes on the ground.
Soon, Thracian nobles were ruthlessly shot dead by the imperial army, and corpses covered with bullet holes were dragged out of the luxurious mansions, blood flowing on the streets, and a pungent smell of blood filled the city.
"Is that Earl Macondo? I didn't expect that he also signed a contract with the devil."
"Yes, I really know people but not my heart. He is a famous charity. I didn't expect that he also wanted to obtain eternal life with the power of hell."
"These Thracian nobles deserve to die! My sister was captured by them and has been missing for several months!"
People hid in their own houses and peeked at the Imperial Army outside the window. Their faces were different, and they were worried and fearful, and they also showed a little curiosity.
They are worried because in the propaganda of the Kingdom of Thrace in recent years, the Ashes Empire has long become synonymous with purgatory on earth, and it is said that the people there have been in dire straits.
However, now, the secret of Willham colluding with the devil and sacrifice to the souls of mortals has been revealed, and even young children can see that Thrace's official propaganda is a complete lie.
They were curious because they saw the Emperor Burning the Ashes with his own eyes performing the miracle of the Sun God, completely saving them from their tragic fate of falling into hell.
"Is that Majesty really a cruel tyrant as the rumor says? It is said that every citizen will become his slave and work day and night."
"That's a rumor! His Majesty our dear king sacrifices the souls of the people to the devil, and even wants to dedicate the entire August to hell. He is the real tyrant!"
"Yes, those Thracian nobles have been reduced to servants of hell!"
"But that imperial man also attacked our city. My younger brother served in the city defense force and was killed by their shells, not even the complete body was left!"
"I only know that it was His Majesty Caesus who rescued me from the devil's steel fork. If it weren't for him, my soul would have been kidnapped by hell."
"But we are Farlanders. Even if the king is unrighteous, we should build our own country. How can we succumb to a giant dragon?"
"His Majesty Kesius is the embodiment of the sun. Is this reason not enough?"
The Thracians in the city whispered, communicated with each other, and even quarreled.
And thousands of meters away, a huge red dragon was entrenching on the top of the mountain, quietly watching all this.
As the ballad of the Empire says, his eyes can examine everything in the world, and his ears can capture all the rumors in the world.
"It seems that the situation is not bad." Kesius spread his wings and stretched his body, and waves of white smoke emerged from the gaps between the scales.
"After this drama of 'justice over evil' and 'light crushing darkness', it was natural for the Thracians to surrender.
What needs to be paid attention to next is the reaction of Aphonus. If a lord of hell is dead, the lord of the Nine Prisons may not give up."
Kesius stretched out his claws, and a scarlet crystal core appeared in his palm, containing a complex power of hell, emitting a bloody light.
——That is Zariel's "Hell Core", the product condensed by the devil's soul.
A gorgeous black and gold trophy appeared on the panel, which symbolizes the [Legend] level achievement.
The conditions for achieving the achievement of [Legend] are extremely strict, requiring players to create major events that are sufficient to affect the fate of the multiverse.
And now, Kesius has achieved three [Black Gold]-level achievements.
They are the [Saint Killer] obtained by defeating Balachel, the [Demon Slayer] obtained by killing Jerrazaks, and the [Saint Killer] obtained by killing Zarel.
Coincidentally, these three achievements come from the abyss, heaven and hell.
[Your total achievement points reach 50,000, unlock the title [Multiverse Liver Emperor]]
【Multiverse Liver Emperor】
Title effect: Special light effect
Looking at the title that bloomed with colorful light, the corner of the red dragon's mouth twitched slightly, feeling speechless.
"Isn't this something I use to deceive players?"
Kesius looked at the illusory light screen, came to his senses, and began to carefully browse the lines of text under the black and golden trophy.
[You killed a hell lord and obtained the legendary achievement [Swearing Destroyer]]
【One who swears to destroy】
Batto Hell is the ultimate plane of order and evil, embodying the cruelty of premeditation and cunning.
The Lord of Hell stands out from the devil who racked his brains to seize power and tried to climb to the peak of power, and stands at the top of every level of hell.
"They are more treacherous, more cunning, and more dangerous.
The demons are addicted to coveted, mad, and evil forces, but the devil always has a schedule, attack plan, and conspiracy carefully nurtured for necessary revenge. ”
——The Book of Hell, described by the brigade master who was imprisoned by Mephistoferis for three hundred years. ”
Obtain passive characteristics:
【Swear to destroy】
Physical constitution +1, Charm +1
You get additional features [Breath of Purgatory] [Oath of Destruction]
[Breath of Purgatory]: After a certain degree of accumulation of energy, your breath will turn into a surging fire of hell, which can arouse greed and tyranny in people's hearts, and has the power to lead people to depravity.
[Oath of Destruction]: After consuming a certain amount of spiritual power, you can break free from the constraints of the rules and have the chance to destroy contracts and oaths in any sense.
The black and golden trophy released a faint light and merged into the red dragon's huge body. When strength reaches the peak of the material world, every bit of improvement in attributes is valuable. Kesius hasn't experienced this feeling for a long time.
[【Physical Constitution】: 36→37]
[【Character】: 40→41]
The power of the system distorts reality and descends on the Red Dragon.
With Kesius' current person, if he wants to forcibly change his body, he already needs the power of the true god-level - and the system has done it.
In an instant, the surrounding space twisted and collapsed, and countless subtle cracks appeared.
Flames erupted from the cracks of the red dragon's scales, and a wave of heat swept across the mountains, and magma gushed out from the ground.
"Ao——"
Kesius couldn't help but raise his head and let out a cool low moan. As his movements were accompanied by countless thunders slashing from the sky.
Add some, it's great!
Under this huge momentum, the people in August were trembling.
The casters were even more shocked. They felt a magic storm sweeping the earth, like a sign of the arrival of magic catastrophe.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
The white smoke spreading on the mountain gradually dissipated, and the huge and majestic body of the red dragon appeared.
I saw that his muscles were bulging and became stronger. The density of those muscle fibers was much higher than that of steel, but they were particularly tough.
Kesius' charm is also further, and his every move can trigger a spell frenzy, which is enough to make the legendary mage panic.
"Breath of Hell."
The red dragon opened its mouth and did not accumulate energy for long, and then it spewed out a burning flame. The flames were of strange color, and the crackling sound was like a devil's whisper, emitting an extremely evil aura.
"Not bad." Kesius made such an evaluation as he felt the beating flame.
Although [Breath of Hell] is powerful and weird, Kesius's spitting weapons are too diverse, and have reached an exaggeration: Breath of Plunder, Fire of Chaos, Flame of Order, Original Spit, Breath of Bahamut, Extreme Effect Spit, Multiple Spit, Thunder Spit, Frost Spit. Plus the current Breath of Hell.
It can be said that the richness of Kesius' own dragon and breath exceeds the sum of the five-colored dragon clan, and only a multi-headed dragon like Tiamat can compare with it.
Sometimes, Kesius opened his blood and squirted his mouth, brewing for a moment, and hesitated about how he should kill the enemy.
"Try this oath of destruction again."
Kesius narrowed his eyes slightly, closed his wings, carefully felt the new power in his body, and awakened it.
He opened his eyes, a faint light appeared in his pupils, and a blood-stained parchment contract appeared in front of him.
The contract is full of dense texts like ants, wrapped around him, secretly bound his soul, and leads to Hell Styx.
There are many regulations on it that make Cathus feel quite familiar.
[Article 13: Bayer forces recognize and respect the leadership of the Burning Empire in establishing a new order in the Fianso continent. 】
[Article 139: If there is a conflict with the Zarier forces, the Empire and the Bayer forces should provide mutual assistance through all political, economic and military means. 】
[Article 461: The devils subordinate to the Bayer power may sign a contract with the imperial citizens, so that the recipient can obtain the power of hell. 】
——That was the hell contract signed by Kesius and Bayer, the oath witnessed by Styx, and it was also a solid foundation for their cooperation.
If one party violates the contract, the power of the Styx will come to his head, dragging the soul of the person who bears the oath into the depths of the dark hell.
Even if it is a demigod-level existence, it will suffer trauma if it violates such a contract and pays a heavy price that mortals cannot imagine.
But at this moment, the red dragon's sharp claws emitted a pitch-black light, and he could clearly feel that as long as he waved his claws and used the "power of breaking the oath", there was a possibility of tearing the contract.
"Interesting ability, this should be the power that the devils fear the most." Kesius smiled and clenched his claws, retracted the power, and the dark light also dissipated.
All the devils are almost masters who play with contracts. They are cunning, cunning, flexible and changeable. They often use contracts to lure mortals to give their souls, and they also use contracts to weaken future enemies.
But after Kesius possesses the [Oath of Destruction] feature, he has the ability to directly overturn the board and does not have to worry about the various devils' calculations.
For the current Ashes Empire, Bayer, as the upcoming hell lord, has enough value to use and does not need to tear up the contract.
At this moment, the scarlet crystal in Kesius's claw emitted a burst of blood, suspended in mid-air.
【Hell's Core】
Strange things, myths
Fields: Order, Evil, War, Law, Charm, Death
Effect: Unknown
Introduction: Barto Hell is the ultimate plane of order and evil, embodying the cruelty of premeditation and cunning.
The devils of the Nine Hell are more in compliance with order, and most devils will take any conspiracy or action, no matter how evil it is, to obtain promotion.
The hell lords at the top of the evil order are high above them. They often have the authority to master a layer of hell, and the lord of the Nine Prisons has never been defeated.
"This is."
Blood shone on his face, and Kesius felt a familiar force—that was Aphronas’s power.
He looked at the crystal floating in the air and saw a giant sword covered with thorns floating in it. It was the giant sword of hell that Zarel had used, a symbol of power that countless devils dreamed of.
Suddenly, Kesius grinned, and a surprise smile appeared on his face, "It turned out to be the authority of Lord Aphonus.
Hahahaha, no wonder she told Bayer that there will never be a winner in Hell before she died. It turned out that she sealed 30% of the authority of hell in her core before she died! ”
Zarier should be very clear that with the greed of the Red Dragon, it is impossible to hand over the flesh and blood that has already been eaten into his mouth.
And as long as there is no complete authority in hell, Baier will not be able to become the true Lord of Aphronas, and will not be able to repel the demons and complete the mission of bloody battles.
——This is Zariel’s final revenge, and it is the true meaning of “There is no winner in hell”.
Even if she dies, Zariel will not let Baier, the traitor, sit in the position of the Lord of Hell. She wants Baier and Kesius to rebel against each other.
Without the authority of complete Affonus, those Abyss demons will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to lead the Abyss Legion into Affonus.
Until the end, the Lord of the Nine Prisons will even lead to personally come forward, take away the hell authority from Kesius, drive Baier away from the position of the Lord of Hell, and may even resurrect Zariel. (This chapter ends)
