Chapter 124 The Law of the Earth! Lord of the Underground!
Sude-Mel is a very ancient evil being.
Its origin can be traced back to before the Dark Age, when the Old Ones invaded the planet Terra to share the fate of the gods. At that time, the extremely powerful pillar-level Old Ones distorted the laws of the entire planet, causing The original gods of this world have fallen madly one by one, and there are almost very few surviving gods. The only one who is still active today is the 'Light Chaser-Moth Mother'.
She is one of the ancient Si Ming, the personification of the laws of the world, symbolizing the laws of light, change, life and so on.
However, the moth mother has become so weak and twisted that she no longer even has self-awareness.
Before the Old Ones invaded this planet, Terra's civilization was not affected by too many supernatural forces. Strictly speaking, this place once belonged to a hidden world of 'low demons'. However, because the gods are all personified manifestations of laws, the upper limit of the power of the gods is still very high. The planet Terra in the ancient times was a bit like the Middle-earth continent of The Lord of the Rings. The boundaries between humans and gods were very clear, and the extraordinary people walking in the world were all servants of the gods.
This situation continued until the advent of the turbulent era, and the will of the pillar-level old days entered the planet Terra and began to corrode the root laws of the entire world.
During this process, the gods who were originally in charge of destiny fell madly one after another, and a large amount of mysterious knowledge flowed into the mortal world, allowing the planet Terra to be promoted from a low-level demon to a medium-level demon in just a few hundred years. material world.
Until all the gods who were in charge of the laws of destiny fell, the old days completely replaced the root laws of the gods that controlled the world, and the souls from other worlds began to enter the era of the planet Terra. This crazy and twisted country was finally promoted to The 'high demon' plane.
The knowledge brought by the spirits of other worlds has also completely changed the weird kingdom. Originally, the spells of the old era were driven by complex and cumbersome 'rituals', but now the extraordinary ones directly use their bodies to integrate the world. The power of laws and spells has become more powerful than before.
Thud-Meir was one of the Old Ones who entered the planet Terra at the end of the Turbulent Era.
But strictly speaking, it is not the real old one, because it has barely touched the threshold of the lower old one. It is part of that huge will and belongs to the big leader of the earth-burrowing demonic insects. The rank is similar to Dagon, maybe a little weaker than Dagon.
The real old ‘Sude-Mel’ has fallen, at least in this world, that old will has been killed, and the body on the material level has been eaten by other similar people.
But there are still many ‘Sude-Mell’ in the weird country.
Every being who obtains a corresponding extraordinary relic from the past will call himself 'Sude-Mel'.
Because 'Sude-Mel' is the honorable name of the past, it is a true name with power and laws, just like the incarnation of the god's face. Who finally fully masters the face of 'Sude-Mel', who You can be promoted to the new Old One and become the master of the earth-burrowing demonic insects.
This is very similar to how gods from other worlds murder other gods, then play the other person's role, accept the believers' beliefs, and then retain the 'honorable name' of this god as a god aspect of their own. exist.
A similar existence is ‘Dagon’. Dagon does not refer to a certain existence, but the leader of the Deep Divers is ‘Dagon’.
This is an ‘honorable name’ passed down from generation to generation by deep divers.
There are many beings with similar powers in the weird kingdom. Whoever controls the underworld, magic, and the trajectory of destiny will be named 'Hcate'. Whoever controls the authority of the Lord of the Abyss will It's called 'Eamonn'.
Because these ‘true names’ have been imprinted into the laws of the world.
"Master."
A body-snatching monster walked out of the door with a fearful expression, knelt on the ground and trembled: "The hunting team you sent out has been completely wiped out. "
"The enemy is stronger than we thought!"
A piercing spiritual scream echoed.
On the throne of the underground palace, Shude Meier slowly raised his head. His dark eyes had no pupils, only cold and ruthless darkness. His suppressed and angry voice sounded: "A bunch of trash!"
"Let the slaves prepare blood sacrifices, I will summon the demonic insects from the inner world of the earth!"
The earth-burrowing demonic insects.
A terrifying monster active deep in the crust of the planet Terra, adult burrowing bugs can withstand temperatures above 4,000 degrees Celsius. They are usually located near the core of the earth, and only a few of them are affected by magma eruptions. Accidentally brought to the surface world.
The struggle in the inner earth world is extremely cruel, because all the evil creatures are coveting the vitality of this planet, and there are also the ubiquitous pillars of flesh and blood, their huge bodies spreading in the magma, Use the energy of the magma layer to hatch the embryos of the past that have not yet been born.
Shude-Mel was a flesh-and-blood creation of the old days, but it was defeated in the inner earth.
It returned to the deep mine near the surface in order to regroup and prepare to accumulate strength to fight back to the inner earth world and fight for the laws of the old days that had not yet been born.
Sooner or later it will take back everything that belongs to it!
The original body of this powerful evil thing is a legendary transcendent from the Dark Age. The other party swallowed the relics of the past, but failed to fully digest them. Instead, it was digested by the relics of the past. In the end, he was completely replaced by the remaining old will of the relic, and was reborn with his personality and soul. The creation that was finally completely twisted and born was the evil lord in front of him.
It is also because of this that it is smarter than other earth-burrowing demon insects, because its personality self-digests the memory knowledge of human extraordinary beings.
Twisted psychic powers began to dominate the monsters in this dungeon.
In this underground city called the 'City of Worms', a large number of strange, evil, and aberrant creatures began to gather. They collected mountains of soil, and then used the soft soil to build a The majestic altar of darkness.
This is the law of authority belonging to the Lord of the Underground!
The entire underground city was built in just over a month. If it were not for the lack of resources that attacked the mining team in Abyss City, I am afraid that Eamon would not even know the existence of this underground city.
Inside the underground city.
The tall, thin and slender figure of Thud Mel slowly walked up to the altar.
On the ground he walked on, the soft soil turned into hard rock. Under the light of the blue torch, his shadow extended out of wriggling black joints, as if a swinging centipede was crawling on the ground. The ferocious reptile legs were squirming, flowing out from under the black robe, mixed with flesh and blood like pus-like sludge.
Drops of filthy sludge slid down his face. Shude Meier's face was melting. Except for a pair of dark eyes, all his facial features melted like candles. A huge insect supported He took off his gorgeous black robe.
The evil lord changed bit by bit and became indescribable, causing the monsters around him to tremble and kneel under the altar.
——The Lord of the Underground!
The law of a certain world began to bless it. The root law of the earth converged on the body of this twisted evil thing. With it as the center, all the soil within a diameter of one hundred meters was being transformed into hard rock.
It is said that in the Dark Age, the real Old One, Shude-Mel, gnawed one of the gods of the planet Terra, the Mother of Stone, who was in charge of the laws of the earth. When the Old One ate the flesh and blood of the gods, the Diamond The leader of the earth demon insect chewed off a section of the god's foot.
Although the leader of the earth-boring demonic insects was finally crushed by one of the surviving gods at that time, the 'Fire Forger', and his physical body died completely, the remaining extraordinary essence of him still transformed into There are many clones of 'Sude-Mel' in existence.
The old days are waiting for them to compete for the final winner and be resurrected with the old name of 'Sude-Mel'.
But unfortunately, there was an accident at that time.
In the Dark Age, a group of almost cheating alien souls suddenly emerged. They killed all around, killing the old bloodline of the earth-burrowing demonic insects until they fell from ancient evils to the level of ordinary evils. In the last small part, even the inner earth world can hardly survive. Because the pillar of flesh and blood compressed the living space of their race, in order to absorb nutrients for the old embryos, the old dependents in the inner earth world were suppressed and miserable.
However, the laws of the world that were captured back then are still in the many clones of 'Sude-Mel', and they still hold a small part of the power of the 'earth'.
Since then, some evil beings claiming to be the ‘Lords of the Underground’ have continued to appear.
——"Lord of the Underground [Law of the Earth]: The law of the earth originated from the ancient gods. It was seized by the old people and scattered in the hands of many evil things. An existence with the title of 'Lord of the Underground' They can control part of the earth's laws on the planet. They can control the power of the earth and reshape the planet's landscape and environment.
As long as he stands on the earth or touches the ground, the Lord of the Underground can draw the power of law from the earth.
The Lords of the Underground are regarded as divine beings possessing the realm of [Earth]. They can use spells containing corresponding concepts at will. These spells are regarded as spell-like abilities and do not require the consumption of their own magic power. After being activated through the ritual, the Lord of the Underground can cast at will - Earth Lock, Earthquake, Anti-Gravity, Petrification, Change Landform, Integrate into Stone, Earthquake, Soft Stone, Shape Stone, and Stone Speech. , earth concept spells such as removing petrification, turning mud into stone, fossils into mud, stone wall spell, etc. ”
[This is the authority that once belonged to the Mother of Stone (Mother of the Earth)!]
[Legend has it that she is the first consciousness on this planet to awaken from the inner earth world. The personification of the law exists on the majestic dark altar.
Shude Mel gently raised a finger, which was made up of five insect-like limbs. It interfered with the real world along with the laws of the earth, as if performing a miracle, and the entire altar was made of The soil turned into rock, and at the same time, the rocks on both sides began to reshape themselves, transforming into hideous and terrifying monster insect statues. Their sharp mouthparts were lifelike. Under the intervention of the power of stone shaping, they were formed automatically, almost as if they were thoughts. Summon the materials needed for sacrifice.
No matter how many levels of spells it is, even if it is a high-level spell of level seven or above, such as anti-gravity, earthquake, earth lock, etc., the evil lord who has the authority of the 'Lord of the Underground' can do it. Cast at will, and quickly, in just a few seconds.
This is the root law of [Earth]!
But it is impossible to gather the authority of the ‘earth’. The highest level of this spellcasting ability is level 9, and it cannot cast legendary spells.
If an existence like it existed on the surface world, it would probably already be the dominant evil overlord.
But it is a pity that the earth-burrowing demonic insects like to hang out in the inner earth world. There are old embryos that have not yet fully developed, or they are sealed ancient evil things. The dead old embryos will also be transformed into evil spirits, so even if they are Possessing the template of the old clan, the earth-boring demonic insects are still miserable in the inner earth world.
——Summon the Familia (Earth-Drilling Demonic Insect)!
Sude Mel made a sharp trembling sound, as if it was resonating, and the entire altar began to tremble, and at the same time it was transmitted to the deepest part of the underground.
The resonance of this specific frequency was like an earthquake. In some way that mortals could not understand, it was transmitted to the inner world of the earth. Finally, the demon insect statues on both sides of the dark altar began to shake violently, as if there was something Terrifying monsters are emerging from the deepest reaches of the underworld.
Traces of cracks appeared.
In the center of the altar, at the feet of Shude Mel, a small volcano is taking shape. It has almost reshaped the landscape here. In the spewing magma, there is a terrifying giant worm drill with a mouth full of fine teeth. When it came out, its huge body alone was tens of meters long.
The Earth-Drilling Demonic Insects have an astonishing digging speed, and the strongest rocks are as soft as tofu in their eyes.
The longest legendary earth-boring devil insect can grow to about two kilometers. This size is still a little small compared to the old days, but for other creatures, it is already a very terrifying behemoth. .
Part of the genes that gave birth to the Pillar of Flesh came from these ferocious earth-burrowing demonic insects.
At the same time.
In a hidden corner of the deep mine, Xiao En, who was looking for a new safe spot, suddenly raised his head in alarm and looked at the dark mine passage for a moment.
"There was an earthquake?"
Xiao En reached out to catch a piece of falling gravel. For some reason, his inspiration suddenly started to warn him, and he felt a strong sense of uneasiness.
“That’s not right!”
“It’s not an earthquake. The impact of an earthquake cannot be so small.”
It is not a good thing to encounter an earthquake in the underground world. It is easy to be buried alive by the falling gravel.
"Earthquake spell?"
Xiao En tried to identify spells and used his own induction to touch the earth to find the source of the spell fluctuations. In the direction of the dungeon, where did it come from? .
The only person here who can threaten him is the evil lord of the dungeon.
Because this underground city appeared so unexpectedly, in the past month or two, the prospecting team from Abyss City passed by without any discovery. When the miners were attacked, all of a sudden Then an underground city appeared out of thin air.
After all, the underground world is not the surface world. The emergence of a city here is not so obvious and cannot be discovered without exploring nearby.
"It should be the Evil Lord. Is it some special ritual?"
Xiao En has read the thoughts and memories of those monsters, and there is not much information about the Evil Lord. The most prominent one is One thing is that it built a city out of thin air in just one or two months.
As for the specific strength, it should not be as good as the Legend of Destiny, because it took a lot of effort to conquer the nearby aberration nest, and was seriously injured once by the legendary beholder leader.
Xiao En had been hunting down the dungeon guard before, just to lure it out.
"It seems like something happened."
Xiao En pondered for a moment and began to arrange the teleportation circle, locking on the wizard tower beacon in Abyss City.
He planned to go back to get some more equipment, and asked the teacher what kind of power could build a small dungeon in just over a month.
Xiao En probably guessed a little about the laws controlled by evil things, but it would be safer to ask Ms. Hecate.
After all, evil creatures are not ordinary legendary monsters. They have law fields on their bodies.
