Chapter 66: Promise!
The power at the hands of the Lord of Shadows is powerful.
As one of the veteran gods that has existed for thousands of years, the priesthood held by the Lord of Shadows is Shadow, Stealing, and Thief.
The power of these three priesthoods is very compatible with Sauron, and the shadows are naturally needless to say, and stealing and thieves are even completely complementary parts of the Wanderer's priesthood. Therefore, Sauron absorbed the power of these three priesthoods very easily, and the thief priesthood was directly integrated into the Wanderer's priesthood, because the thief was originally a basic profession within the wanderer. As for stealing the priesthood, it is completely an extended realm, and it can be said that there is no difficulty in merging this priesthood with Sauron.
Next up is the Lord's realm power.
As a cunning deity, the Lord of Shadows has been stealing the power of other realms.
Why did the Night Lady want to kill Him?
Not only because the Lord of Shadows has the priesthood of Shadow, but more importantly, He also has the realm of Darkness.
So why does the Spider God Queen also have thoughts about the Lord of Shadows?
The reason is simple.
In addition to the Dark Realm, the Lord of Shadows also has the Trickery Realm and the Lucky Realm.
It's incredible.
In fact, as early as the birth of the Destiny Twins, there were many gods who stole their power, and there were not a few gods in the gods who possessed the [lucky] realm.
As for the [Trickery] realm, there is no need to say more.
This is a powerful combat field, and the Spider God Queen has always hoped to complete her [Trickery] field and directly raise it to the level of a priest.
Now that Sauron has mastered the [Trickery] realm, he can directly remove the curse effect from the High Priest when he returns.
Besides.
The Lord of Shadows also possesses the Evil Realm, but the power of this realm has not been absorbed by Sauron.
The reason is simple.
Eugene, the Ascender, is even more evil than Sauron!
The eldest princess's faction is [Neutral Kindness], while Sauron's faction is [Order Evil], and the Shadow Lord's faction is [Neutral Evil]. And the camp of the Ascender-Eugene is [Neutral Evil]. Originally, Eugene was supposed to be a strong man very close to [Order Evil], but after absorbing the power of the secondary demon lord, his camp had already begun to shift towards [Chaos Evil].
In other words.
Eugene is more in tune with the power of this [evil] realm than Sauron, and if you talk about the degree of evil, Sauron's evil faction offset should be around 50 points, and Eugene has slaughtered a large number of half-elves and waged many wars. The offset of the evil faction can definitely reach more than 300 points.
Needless to say, Eugene is definitely a lot more evil than Sauron!
That's it.
Eugene's fit with the [evil] realm is much more than Sauron's, and the same part of the power that belongs to the evil realm is naturally transferred to him.
Eugene's harvest is also very rich!
Not only the power of divinity and realm, but more importantly, with the Lord of Shadows being killed, a part of his godhead was transferred to Eugene along with the realm of evil.
He is now just one step away from being made a god by the orc priesthood!
………………
Clang.
With the fall of the Lord of Shadows, the first thing Sauron did was to throw out the [Pale Justice] in his hand.
"Ah~!"
Sauron stood there and gasped, then looked at his palm, which was already charred black, and the battle didn't last long. But his palms had been badly burned by the divine power. Pale justice is more domineering than the Holy Avenger, and less tolerant of evil, Sauron is constantly taking damage when he holds it, almost more than ten points of divine damage per second drops, if the battle drags on a little longer, I am afraid that he himself will be seriously injured by this sword.
There was a dead silence all around.
There was no time to talk too much at this time, although the three of them successfully killed the Lord of Shadows, Eugene was already in a near-death state.
The situation at hand is a bit delicate.
The eldest princess's expression seemed to be a little hesitant. He had been silently observing Sauron's expression.
Eugene's expression was even more apprehensive, as he had been impaled through the heart by the Lord of Shadows during the battle he had just had. Although the final outbreak killed the Lord of Shadows, his strength was now less than thirty percent.
That is, Eugene is very vulnerable now!
As an epic character with a bit of tragedy, Eugene's lifespan is nearing its end.
However, the Holy Tribulation gave him an important opportunity, that is, he could seize this opportunity to become a god and completely get rid of the limitation of lifespan on mortals.
Now the Lord of Shadows is dead.
Just give Eugene a little time, and he can make it a god. But only if He is alive.
The atmosphere becomes delicate.
No one spoke, but everyone else realized something.
That is, the contract between Sauron and Eugene has been completed, and at this time, if Sauron turns his face and denies people, it will be completely easy to kill Eugene, who is already dying after being hit hard by the heart.
Eugene never spoke.
As a legendary figure who struggled from the bottom to the present, he is now seriously injured and dying. Nor did he open his mouth to express submission or anything else to beg Sauron to spare him.
He just waited quietly, waiting for what Sauron would do with his now mortally injured and dying self!
Eugene has his own pride.
He has led the orc race all the way to the present, and he is undoubtedly a strong man with firm beliefs!
Sauron was also faced with a choice at this moment.
Kill Eugene.
Spare Eugene.
If he killed Eugene, it would be almost impossible for him to gain a lot of killing experience and take away a lot of divinity and godhead, including the evil realm that Eugene had just absorbed. However, in this way, Sauron will also break his original promise, although the effect of the contract has been partially completed after killing the Lord of Shadows, but there will be a slight price to pay for the shift of the faction. But this price is completely incomparable to the gain, and killing Eugene can allow Sauron's power to continue to increase.
Little by little, time passed.
Sauron didn't hesitate for long, he slowly walked towards Eugene, the old and resolute orc in front of him obviously became nervous when he saw him approaching, and couldn't help but clench the white bone spear where the divine power converged.
It's impossible to say not to worry.
If Sauron reneges his promise at this time, then everything Eugene has come to naught!
- "Advanced Restoration!" ”
Sauron gave Eugene the answer with his actions, and instead of attacking, he used what little divine power he had left to perform an advanced recovery spell on Eugene.
Of course, killing Eugene at this time is an easy task.
But!
Sauron was also a man with his own beliefs.
He has his own bottom line, and his promises are more effective than the devil's pact! Since he promised Eugene's promise to cooperate, he will definitely not break his oath!
Sauron chose to give up.
He gave up the temptation of a large amount of killing experience, and also gave up the divinity and godhead power in Eugene.
He chose to follow his promise.
Because he is a person with a bottom line, even as a god, he maintains his principles.
He won't kill Eugene.
At least not now, maybe in the future the two of them will have a conflict in the Sage Havoc, which will lead to another war between Sauron and Eugene, but at least he will definitely not make a move against Eugene now.
Because that's what he promised!
At this moment, Sauron seems to have obtained a kind of sublimation, and this ascension is not in strength, but in spirit and faith!
He resisted the temptation to kill Eugene's increased strength.
This kind of spiritual and belief fit makes Sauron's whole person feel extraordinary! It's as if the spirit has been sublimated to a certain level, and then merged with something very mysterious.
At this moment, a row of data emerged:
"Fusion of laws! ……”
"You have obtained some information about the [Order] realm! ……”
………………
It all happened the moment Sauron gave up on killing Eugene.
A data improvement suddenly appeared, and Sauron obtained the information improvement in the [Order] realm, and the eldest princess, who had been silently observing him not far away, couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of her mouth.
No matter what.
Even Eugene, who was very repulsive to the evil camp herself, didn't want Sauron to suddenly attack and kill him at this time.
Because this kind of behavior is also something she doesn't want to see!
