Chapter 1342: The Undead of the Dead Sea The Gates of Hell
Beneath the thick saline ground of the Dead Sea are the remains of two ancient cities. Inside were the remains of countless demonic believers destroyed by Jehovah's legion of billions of angels, as well as two gates that Mephisto had painstakingly built.
In the past, these two gates were the main passage from hell to earth. Mephisto had tried to use these two gates to take over the entire human world, but Jehovah destroyed them before he could do so. He even said that in order to prevent the resurgence of his ambitions, he also had his followers build the holy city of Jerusalem on the side. Angels were stationed in the city to monitor the movement of the two gates.
Thousands of years have passed, and Mephisto has not found an opportunity to reopen these two gates. Even if Jehovah had fled after being beaten, he would not have had the courage to do so. Because he knows very well that this world is more dangerous than the original world.
King Ming is a more powerful enemy than Jehovah, and if he dares to pull his gates of hell back into the world, he is not sure that he will be able to escape as he did when he was Jehovah's enemy. And if he couldn't escape, he didn't think that this young and vigorous new god would let him go.
Having been cautious all his life, he didn't want to capsize at this time. It's just that he didn't expect that he didn't fall into the hands of King Ming, but he capsized on Victor, a little person he had never looked at. And this capsizing made the opportunity he had been waiting for thousands of years completely fall into the hands of this guy Victor.
Behind Victor stood Smith. Zhou, this guy who is still above Mephisto in terms of conspiracy and calculation, knows very well how to use such a fortune. Mephisto's scruples are also his scruples, but Mephisto has no ability to solve this problem, he has the ability to solve him.
In fact, it took so much effort to deal with Zhou Yi's problem, in order to help Victor make a world here. Now he has provided Victor with the best opportunity, and if Victor can't seize this opportunity in this situation, then he is really not qualified to continue to work for Smith. Weeks served.
Victor knew very well what this disqualification meant, so he would naturally spare no effort to carry out this plan. Do everything that Zhou asks for to be the best. And now is the time for him to show his worth.
Standing on the saline ground, I felt the call of the two gates of hell at my feet. As soon as Victor stretched out his hands, he immediately caused countless undead spirits to erupt from his body.
As the master of hell today, his body has become a medium across two worlds. Because of this, he can use his body and the hell he has mastered to let these undead use his body as a door to release them from the depths of hell.
Of course, this comes at a cost. Every time he releases an undead spirit from his body, he has to pay for it with a piece of magic. Although with the power he has now, he can release hundreds of millions of undead in one go, but he doesn't dare to do so. Because he knew that once he did this, then the guys in hell who had been subdued by him would definitely be restless again.
None of the guys who can dominate in hell are easy to get along with. Perhaps now, they are being suppressed by themselves, expressing their submission to themselves. But that doesn't mean they really want to be crushed all the time. It's just that there is no chance, and once they have the opportunity, they will definitely start a rebellion by all means. In that case, Victor didn't think he could survive such a rebellion. So he didn't dare to let go of his hands and feet completely, but just summoned a million undead and stopped.
A million undead were a drop in the bucket for him, and they wouldn't have any effect on his reign in Hell. But even a million alone is enough to turn the entire Dead Sea shore upside down.
You know, it's located in the desert zone of West Asia, surrounded by deserts, and because of the typical Mediterranean climate, the rainfall here is below the lowest level all year round. Hot, dry, and saline-alkali land, the weather here is often very difficult, especially at noon, and it can take off a layer of human skin alive.
But that is no longer the case. A million undead wreak havoc on the land. Their presence directly turned the sky under the midsummer sun into a gloomy haze. The sun couldn't shine through here, and the scorching temperatures were repelled by the cold aura they carried. In the midst of it, you can only feel the coldness that penetrates deep into your bone marrow into the bones of your limbs. In the end, you may not even be able to move, and you will be robbed of your life by this cold.
It can be said that at this moment, this place has become a terrifying ghost, a veritable Dead Sea. Countless undead roared and wailed in it, eager to plunder the lives of the living, to enjoy what little pleasure was left from their flesh and pain.
They really want to do it, but they can't. Because Victor is here, his will is the fundamental law that determines the fate of these undead. The name Lord of Hell is not for nothing now. And he took a lot of effort to release these undead, and he didn't let them do anything wrong.
Estimate the number, and it feels like it's about the same. Victor pointed directly at the ground under his feet and commanded the undead that he had unleashed.
"Go, eat the dirt here, and dig out the city below."
The food that the demons crave most from the depths of hell must be the flesh and blood of the living. But in hell, there is not so much flesh and blood for them to eat. So most of the time, they're feeding on dirt. It is even said that for hundreds of millions of years, the boundaries of hell have expanded a lot because of the gnawing of these undead.
Eating dirt was not something unacceptable to them, on the contrary, it was a fatal thing for them to refuse Victor's orders. Although the undead do not have much wisdom and reason, they know how to obey their master's orders. So immediately, they began to act according to Victor's orders.
This caused the Dead Sea to suddenly become cloudy, and thousands of undead turned into pitch-black haze, flying towards the thick rock formations of the earth. Every time a streak of smoke skimmed over the surface, a large layer of soil was gnawed away. They move quickly and are amazingly efficient. It didn't take long for a huge pit to appear in front of Victor. And as this pit continues to expand, the outlines of the two ancient cities are slowly revealed in front of Victor.
To be sure, these two ancient cities that bear their names in the Bible are not as majestic and tall as one might think. In fact, this is normal, with the manpower and material resources of that era, it is not a simple matter to create a majestic city. Looking at the whole world at that time, it is estimated that only Egypt and China had this ability. Others, whether they belong to the four major civilizations, Babylon or ancient India, or these civilizations along the Mediterranean coast, do not have this ability.
In the final analysis, it is because of the population. If a huge city wants to be built, it is not necessary to think about it without using hundreds of thousands of laborers and slaves. Egypt was the hegemon of Africa at that time, and hundreds of thousands of slaves were not a problem for them. The same is true in the Huaxia region, and after the Xia Dynasty, a unified civilization has almost been formed, and it is not a big deal for them to use the same number of slaves.
However, just because they have a lot of money doesn't mean that other civilizations can be so wealthy. Babylon is a small country in the valley of the two rivers. It's good to repair a garden or something, and to build a giant city through the ages, you don't have to think about it at all. It was the same in ancient India, you know, India became a unified country in recent times. For thousands of years, they have been divided. Different countries are hostile to each other, and if any idiot dares to do such a thing that costs people and money, then maybe in the next moment, their enemies will take advantage of the situation and directly deal a devastating blow to them.
If this is still the case in ancient civilizations, other civilizations are even more unbearable. There were only so many Hebrews, and there were very few people in the Greek Federation. Unless they are willing to build a huge city with all their might. Otherwise, it's simply an impossible task for them.
Mephisto is not as powerful as these civilizations? He only occupied the plains of Moab, and the population under his command at that time was probably only a few hundred thousand. It is certainly unrealistic to rely on hundreds of thousands of people to build a city. Although he still has a large group of demons and undead to manipulate, don't forget, this is the time when the gods are rampant. No matter which side of the gods you are, it is impossible for you to do such a thing unscrupulously to upset the balance of the world at that time.
So, these two cities are very small, and they may be almost as small as the neighborhoods of some cities. There were neither tall buildings nor tall walls. The only thing that can be commended is probably only these two city centers, the huge stone gates that are more than ten meters high.
These are two stone gates that are almost identical. They stand in the middle of the city, and they have nothing else to rely on.
Huge black masonry layers were piled up, forming the towering body of the stone gate. Through the black rock formations on the stone door, you can see a large number of bones embedded in it. It may seem scary, but it is necessary. Because without their sacrifices, this stone gate would not have been able to function as it should.
After all, they are the gates of hell, but how can anything that has anything to do with hell be such a bright and beautiful thing?
They devour flesh and devour souls. This is the essence of the product of hell. But in the same way, they can bridge the two worlds, so that hell and the earth can be completely connected. That's their most important function, and that's what Victor values the most.
That's the point of bringing it back to life, the gates of hell, it's time to reopen.
