Chapter 597 Between Destiny (3)
Destiny sounds so high-end, but in fact, during the ancient elves, this place was just their playground, just like the electronic fortune-telling machines placed on the street.
Thinking about it this way, it is indeed unlikely that there is any real danger.
But you should be careful. There are still many puzzling things in the creations of elves to this day. For example, the rolling stone that will fly up and hit your face. Most people would never think that this thing is actually the treadmill of ancient elves. , they chased rolling stones on their backs to stimulate adrenaline and get a thrill of excitement, and at the same time exercise.
——Damn you retarded!
So the three of them still maintained their formation and gently pushed open the double doors.
This time the room was no longer the guest room or banquet hall we had seen before, but a strange place.
There was a huge pit on the floor, taking up almost most of the room.
The position where the three opened the door faced the center of the pit. At the other end of the pit, you would see six stone pillars lined up, supporting the ceiling.
Each stone pillar was tied with a wrist-thick iron chain, and there were still some red traces on it that could not be distinguished from rust or dried blood.
There is a double door behind the six stone pillars, leading to nowhere.
The situation in the room was like this. No monsters or mechanisms were seen. The first thing the three people noticed when they walked in was the deep pit that occupied most of the room.
Standing at the door, I thought it was because of the dim light that I couldn't see clearly what was going on in the pit. But standing by the pit, even if I used the dancing light technique to shine against my face, I still couldn't dispel the darkness in the pit.
This tiny detail made the three of them immediately alert, and Aldai was ready to use detection magic to see what the darkness at the bottom of the pit was.
At this time, the thick darkness seemed to be thrown into the water of the stones, and suddenly the waves began to ripple.
"Back off!"
If the situation is unclear, it is best not to approach at will. The three of them took a few steps back and retreated to the door.
At this time, the darkness in the pit suddenly swelled like a fountain, and the darkness spurted out was like a ball of flowing liquid, splashing onto the stone pillars and turning into shadows of human figures.
These shadows were tied up with chains and seemed to be struggling painfully, but did not make any sound. They looked weird and terrifying.
Just when the three of them were at a loss, that dizzy feeling came again.
In a daze, the three of them saw a gloomy green flame burning in the corner of the room. Countless corpses were piled up into mountains and placed around the pit. In the pit that was now entrenched in darkness, a gloomy green pillar of fire rose into the sky. Burn the ceiling black.
The flame seemed to be alive, occasionally bending down and dragging a corpse into the pit. Under the burning of the miserable green flames at the bottom of the pit, it disappeared without a trace in an instant.
This picture has such a strong sense of déjà vu!
Aldai immediately thought of the men in black robes among the wild bear mercenaries. What they did was almost the same as what he saw now.
"Stop! If you do this, you are destroying your compatriots!"
When the three of them were stunned, a red-haired figure passed through them. They didn't know whether Aldai and the other two turned into air, or whether the other party was a simple image. Anyway, there was no collision, and the other party was not aware of the three of them at all. existence.
When this person was speaking, the shadows among the six stone pillars on the other side of the pit suddenly dispersed, revealing the woman with blue hair whom he had seen before.
It's just that she looks a little bit wrong now. Her fair face is covered with black patterns, like some kind of spell. But if you want to identify it carefully, there will be a sharp stabbing pain in your brain, as if to remind you.
Some knowledge should not be known.
"I'm almost there."
"No, you are destroying yourself!" The blue-haired woman sat on the corpse, holding a silver wine glass in her hand, and said angrily:
"The seal of the tyrant is almost completed, do you want me to give up at this last moment?"
Her face was twisted with anger:
"Think of the compatriots who sacrificed their lives. We will succeed. We will succeed!"
The red-haired man seemed to want to retort, but when he opened his mouth, nothing came out.
"We will cut off the connection between the tyrant and the Demon King's Ring, and we have mostly succeeded. At this time, do you think I will give up!"
"I know you won't, but you are obviously controlled by the power in the dark now!"
The blue-haired woman stood up from the corpse and threw the silver cup into the pit: "No! It didn't control me, but I controlled it!"
Her voice was like thunder from the sky, and the whole room trembled slightly with the roar.
The red-haired man didn't show any fear, there was only regret and sadness in his eyes.
"Now that you've decided, okay. I'm here to tell you that humans are gone."
The blue-haired woman returned to the body and sat down. She seemed to have calmed down her anger and nodded coldly:
"Their work is done, now it's our turn. As long as the seal is completed, the Demon King God will never come back. Even if someone tries to call Him back, as long as the ritual is performed again, we Demons will get rid of the tyrant and regain our freedom. !”
The red-haired man didn't seem to listen to these words at all. After speaking, he turned and left, and the image hit the three of Aldai.
At that moment, a strong sense of dizziness struck again. The three of them blinked, and everything in front of them returned to calmness. Even the darkness in the pit did not make any waves at this time.
"It seems we are getting closer to the truth."
Aldai knocked on her temples and thought: "There must have been some among the seven apostles who objected to stealing the Demon King's Ring, but I don't know whether it was the minority who obeyed the majority or who was temporarily persuaded. At least In terms of results, they really succeeded.”
Zola took a deep breath to relieve her dizziness:
"I am more concerned about the darkness mentioned in every vision. What is that?"
"I don't know. It may be another god who can rival the old Demon King God in terms of divine power, or it may be some ancient evil. He is too mysterious. We have seen similar ritual scenes on the first few floors of the ruins. It is probably wild. The bear mercenary planned to hold the ceremony again according to the method left by the seven apostles, but I have no memory of the object of the ceremony. I will check it out after I return. "
This is also a very puzzling part of the whole thing. If it was another god who stumbled the Demon King God, then he should definitely enter the Demon Kingdom to rob believers when the Demon King God was not around.
So, is this guy a god with a temple in the current plane?
It's possible, but not very likely.
The most suspicious candidate is the Centipede Lord. Viola was attacked by the Centipede Lord's fangs when she went to the Settlement City to give a speech. The Centipede Lord even personally blocked the intervention of the Demon King God.
It stands to reason that the Lord of Centipedes only appeared as a deity in the Demon Realm after the Demon King God disappeared, and there should be no connection with the Demon King God, let alone any enmity.
There is obviously a problem with making such a huge effort to deal with the Demon King and God's chosen one (Viola) for no reason. (See Chapter 123 for details)
But if the disappearance of the Demon King God is related to the Centipede Lord, the scale of the Centipede Lord’s belief in the demon realm is very small, almost negligible, and it is other gods who really take the lead.
Spend so much effort and end up with some leftovers?
The Lord of Centipedes is too humble...
