Chapter 967: The Half-Plane That Is Dying
Time flies, and another day passes.
After getting the materials, Henry hid in the room and made several powerful magic props, and then went to a remote corner of the Seal City alone, handed Salin's letter to the gatekeeper, and passed through a translucent dark wall to a gray half-plane.
As soon as he stepped on the land here, the druid power in his body immediately had a strong rejection reaction, an indescribable aura of decay and death enveloped the surroundings, and the endless earth was taking on a sickly color, there were no animals, no plants, it could be said that there was no breath of life at all at a glance, and even the entire half-plane was decaying and perishing.
This is a dying half-plane, and some terrifying force has sucked away the energy that should have allowed the plane to expand, so it led to the scene of everything withering in front of him.
There is no doubt that this qiē is caused by the god Atropal, although it is still sealed, but the strong hatred for the living is still enough to have an impact on the environment, just look at this endless decaying place, at most about five hundred years, the half-plane will produce a strong shock and completely collapse, and Atropal itself will be thrown into the endless void.
Perhaps this was the purpose of the god who imprisoned it back then, once he fell into the endless void, he lost his five senses, time and space, knew nothing, and unless someone knew his name when he was born, he would never be summoned.
In fact, most gods treat gods in a similar way, basically either being discarded into the depths of the uninhabited universe or imprisoned in one half-plane. Most of them never have a chance to escape in their lifetime. can only accumulate unimaginable pain and hatred in the dark. Until the spark of divinity is completely consumed.
Sometimes, however, a few and a half are fortunate enough to break through the seal with the help of external forces, enter the material plane, and cause extremely terrifying damage.
The appearance of any god can cause panic in a country, a continent, or even a plane, and they feed on the power of the gods, which means that if the gods cannot defeat them in a short time, then the gods will become stronger and stronger, and finally they may be able to evolve into the ultimate destroyer like the ancient evil.
In fact, if a god breaks the seal. The gods usually hire a team of legendary professionals to deal with it, and they themselves try to avoid direct contact so as not to inadvertently increase the power of the gods.
The reason why Henry insisted on not giving up his promise was on the one hand considering the relationship between the King of Wizards and the Association, which was not too obvious, and on the other hand, he wanted to see with his own eyes how difficult the so-called gods were, which were described in books as even more terrifying than the incarnation of gods.
Perhaps under the influence of the power of Tron Zào, his curiosity about the unknown has become more and more serious, especially the extremely twisted divine creature like the gods, and he is even more excited when he thinks about it. I can't wait to grab it and dismantle it alive, and come to a comprehensive examination from the body to the soul. By the way, let's study what this thing relies on to feed it with the power of the gods.
You must know that the gods are likely to be the creatures standing at the top of the entire universe, their strength lies in transcending time and space, transcending dimensions, although they have not completely crossed the last hurdle, but compared to other creatures, they are not on the same level at all, even the demon lords and devil dukes who claim to be able to kill gods are no exception.
The demon lords are only the most powerful when they are in the bottomless abyss, and the will of the abyss gives them special abilities, and in the territory they are like gods in their own realm, once they leave the abyss, their combat power plummets by at least half in an instant.
Of course, what these guys are really powerful is the endless demon army under their command, they can drown most of the enemies just by number, and they only need to be in charge of command in the rear, except for Dimo Gogan, who has been convulsive and crazy for three days, very few lords rush to the front line.
As for the devils, not to mention, their individual combat power is not even as good as the demons, only Asmodeus, who lives in the last layer of hell and is always shrouded in mystery, is not easy to see, and the remaining dukes are really a little inferior to the demon lords, let alone the gods.
Since the gods can restrain divine power, it is natural to study it carefully to see if they can create similar weapons or creatures.
Although Henry has always maintained a close cooperative relationship with some gods, and even personally helped Apodel to the throne of killing, he knows very well that the magical civilization he wants to build is not very good with the gods in nature, so he has been secretly increasing his hole cards, ready to use them to deter the other party when necessary.
Just as he was standing in place and fiddling with the gadgets he had prepared in advance, a group of people wearing the emblem of the association suddenly appeared in place through a portal not far from Guò, led by an old man wearing a dark blue cloak, wearing a blue dragon leather armor, and two half-meter-long magic short swords pinned to his waist, the crisscrossing scars on his face showed that he had experienced a hundred battles, and his eyes were as sharp as sharp blades, glowing with a faint silver light.
He walked straight to the front, opened his mouth and asked in a deep voice, "You are the young man introduced by Lavoker?" ”
"Yes, you are?" Henry asked rhetorically with some uncertainty.
"Me? You can call me Abel, a long, long time ago, Lavoc, I, and Salin joined the association at the same time, and became fairly good friends. However, Lavoc has a deep affection for Nessreel, and he eventually gives up his chance to become the president and returns to Torrell to save his country. As he spoke, the old man showed a deep gaze, as if he was reminiscing about the past.
However, he quickly regained his senses, and pointed to a palace in the distance surrounded by a strong negative energy, and it was also the only building in this half-plane that towered over the earth.
"That's where Atropal was sealed, and I did some research on the periphery, and found that there were about five hundred vampires gathered inside, two lichs with a casting level of about twenty, and countless low-level undead creatures such as ghouls and skeletons."
Hearing that there were still such a number of undead in the palace, Henry couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "What do you mean...... There's an army of the undead beneath the palace? ”
Able touched the beard on his chin and nodded, "That's right, the real seal of Atropal is about a thousand meters below the palace. It was a bronze gate, which should belong to the early elven style in terms of style, and all the negative energy and evil forces continued to penetrate from the inside, and it was precisely because of this that countless undead creatures gathered here. They simply can't get rid of the powerful grip of the gods, so we have some minor troubles to deal with before we can start the real battle. ”
"Since it's a minor nuisance, you and your men should be able to handle it, okay?" Henry asked, narrowing his eyes.
He was starting to be a little unhappy now, because Saleen didn't mention it when he issued the mission, and this kind of typical concealment of truth was usually something that everyone was particularly disgusted and disgusted by, and he was no exception.
"Hehe, don't worry, this is our problem, naturally we will solve it, you just need to watch. If the Association can't even handle an army of the undead, it will not be qualified to quell the strife and bring the entire multiverse into a harmonious orbit. Let's go, Salin is still waiting for a part of Atropal's body, don't let him wait too long. ”
After saying that, Able waved his hand lightly, and the members of the squad who were already ready to go, like an army, quickly packed their bags, followed him without saying a word, and headed towards the palace in the distance.
Henry noticed that the weapons used by these men were of a very peculiar shape, not ordinary long swords, but a cylindrical stick, but because they were all inserted in the sheath, he did not know what it looked like.
In addition, the armor worn by these people is also very unique, like a special metal drawn out of silk thread woven chain mail, different from normal chain mail, their chain mail is very densely woven, and there are three layers inside and three layers outside, the thickness is about the same as plate armor, and when you walk, it will reflect a rainbow of light, which looks very beautiful.
"Interesting, it is very similar to the energy that symbolizes the neutral order in Saleen's body, but it is not so powerful, it is estimated that this is the most elite force of the Association, a team composed entirely of legendary professionals......" Henry followed behind the team, while secretly assessing the combat effectiveness of the team.
He had a hunch that these dozen or so guys who had always been silent would definitely be able to surprise themselves when fighting, especially the old man Able, as the saying goes, like things gather, people gather in groups, since they can have a relationship with Salin and Lavok, then there must be something extraordinary, otherwise how can he look down on ordinary people with the arrogance of the king of wizards.
Although the palace seemed to be close at hand, everyone walked for two and a half hours to reach the door.
Looking at the thirty-meter-high giant stone pillars and the elven characters carved on the walls of the steps, Henry couldn't help but sigh slightly. He knew the ancient elven language above, and it was all a warning not to break in lightly, otherwise it would lead to disastrous consequences.
It has to be said that these pointy-eared guys obviously underestimate the curiosity of humans, maybe the dwarves and elves will leave quickly when they see such a solemn warning, but the curious gnomes and halflings must definitely go in to see what is going on, and not to mention the greedy people, they will never give up if they don't go in to find out if there is any treasure.
In a way, these warnings are not intended to deter them, but rather to attract people to explore, which is almost the opposite.
Without any hesitation, Henry raised his hand and blessed himself with several resident protection spells, and at the same time activated the invisibility ability that comes with the Archmage's Staff. In the ensuing battle, unless the squad suffered heavy casualties, he would never take it lightly...... (To be continued......)
