463 Nether

Boating on the River Styx is not a pleasant pastime.

In Penny's own experience, this is indeed the case, the entire surroundings are surrounded by a deep coldness that penetrates into the bones, and from time to time you can hear a sharp soul howl, and it is said that some wizards who study the 'Banshee's Howl' spell will take samples from the River Styx.

In fact, although it flows to the filthy Nether, the essence of the River Styx is quite pure, and it exists only for a mission - to let the spirits of the upper and lower realms flow and communicate in its currents.

In the minds of all beings, the River Styx, which bears such a mission, is extremely worthy of awe, no, not just awe, but deep fear.

Because the lower reaches of the River Styx are in the lower realm, no matter what kind of reincarnation the souls of all beings go through, they will eventually follow the river Styx into the lower realm, which is an almost inevitable fate.

The realm of the dead is located in the middle of the River Styx, below the main physical realm, and it is also the time when the souls of the dead are screened for the first time, and the god of death, Kranvo, and his old and cunning assistant, the ancient god Jego, will pick out the souls protected by faith and send them to the realm of their protectors- Whether it is the Divine Kingdom of the Upper Realm or the Demon Realm of the Lower Realm, if they are unbelievers, then they will be regarded as souls without a heart, and without a mind is equal to having no value for salvation, they will be sealed in the wall of the unbelievers, and eventually weathered into the dust of the soul, until they are washed away by the waters of the River Styx or reunited into new souls.

Umar led Penny into the realm of the dead, and the scythe-carrying old god Jego looked at Penny with his indifferent eyes and nodded slightly, and Penny looked at the famous old god with curiosity.

He had been the most feared being of the ancient arcanists, having held almost the highest position among the gods, but it was not long before he generously distributed his divine power, far greater than that of Shirek's heyday, to a few mortals, as if out of boredom, and even then, it was a very surprising act.

Many scholars have studied the reasons for Jerk's actions, but they have come to the conclusion that the end is that this man is really tired of being a god, so he strikes and does not do it, which in itself is very remarkable.

The gods who were able to do this, their wills resisted the priesthood's control over the actions of the gods.

A very special deity, Penny looked at Jerk for a while, and could only think so.

This deity is why Umar brought Penny here.

It was clear that he had a lot to do with Penny's next plans, but because he hadn't heard the second half of the discussion among the gods in the Heartfire Domain, Penny still didn't know why Oumar had brought him to this place.

"This mortal is going to the Nether?Grazt's realm?" Jecob looked at Oumar strangely, "If I'm not dazzled, he should be a wizard with a lot of power, could it be that his plane teleportation technique has failed?" or ...... He hasn't seriously studied the spells of the plane?"

"It's certainly easy to go to the realm of Grazt and find death. Umar glanced at Penny, "But our purpose is not to let this mortal warrior go there to seek death, Jecob, you gave me a message three months ago, and now I want to ask you, that message...... Is it possible to determine its real surname?"

"Which message? which one do you mean?" Jecob looked up at the gray sky of the underworld, and carried the scythe leaning on the side of his chair on his shoulder, he looked at Penny, with a mysterious and thoughtful expression on his face: "I can't be entirely sure of my real name, but I recently got a new message from there, oh, your purpose, I know very well that something important to you has fallen into Grazt's realm, right? ”

That one?

Penny, who has been thinking deeply because of the unfathomable and secretive dialogue between the two gods, understands that it is obvious that this 'one' does not refer to Grazt, and it must not be a good idea to communicate directly with Grazt, although he is calmer than other demon lords, but he has also done a lot of things that have broken his word and become fattening - such as locking Wokin, who returned to the kingdom of God through the way, in his palace.

Who is this one?

"Can we go and communicate with that one?" said Omar, his brow furrowed, as if communicating with that person was a headache for him.

"He tried to end the bloody battle. Jecob's words made Penny's heart beat again: "Omar, recent events have given him the opportunity to do so. ”

What kind of demon is that?

The demons in the bottomless abyss have been attacking the demons with their sheer numbers and astonishing brutality, while the demons in the lesser number have been fighting against the demons with their powerful legions formed by the clear order, and the battle has been in a state of anxiety since the beginning of the war.

For this phenomenon, the wise people are very clear about the reason, as a battlefield of the conflict between the two camps of order and chaos in the multiverse, this war will theoretically never end, just like the endless struggle between the two forces of order and chaos, but now Penny actually heard from the mouth of Jerk that someone wants to end the bloody war, which is simply unthinkable.

Could it be that some arrogant demon lord thinks he has what it takes to devour Hell, or does the leader of a legion of hell think his legion is capable enough to slay the demons of the abyss?

Penny quickly disproved such ideas, knowing that the two high-ranking gods, Umar and Jecob, could not be joking at this time.

Who will put an end to the bloody war?

Jerk glanced at Penny, whose face was full of confusion and disbelief, as if he knew what he was thinking, smiled, and continued to turn to Omar: "Dear Lord of Knowledge, you know that the shock of the Source Sea has displaced many planes of Torreel, including the Abyss and the Sea of Chaos. ”

"The Bottomless Abyss has shifted?" Oumar shook his head, "How is this possible? I can feel that the planes below the River Styx are still the same. ”

"Just because there is no displacement now doesn't mean there won't be in the future. Jegoth shook his head: "We can put it another way: the shock of the source sea caused a violent surge in the chaotic sea, dozens of layers of abysses were swallowed, and the structure of the entire abyss and even the nether realm changed, and the one who thought that he only needed to exert a force in a suitable way to push the abyss to the rest of the multiverse, he was tired of the bloody war." ”

Omar suddenly understood, and Penny also understood, that 'one' should not be a demon lord, but a great devil.

Penny glanced at Jecob, and suddenly knew who they were talking about...... In the Nine Layers of Hell, there is only one devil who is qualified to think about such things, whether it is in terms of power, status, or other factors...... Asmodeus, Lord of the Nine Layers of Hell.

Could he help himself get closer to Grazt?Penny wondered.

So why come looking for Jerkos?

Penny quickly figured out to himself that Jerk was one of the oldest gods in the Toriel universe, and that it wasn't uncommon for him to talk to beings in Hell.

After all, it is not an abyss, the devils mostly follow the order, and many times, they will communicate with others in a civilized way, of course, if they catch the loopholes in the rules, they will immediately expose their hideous fangs.

Many times, the gods still prefer to communicate with the devils in hell.

With Jerk's qualifications, it was not worth the surprise of outsiders that he had access to the Lord of the Nine Prisons.

"There seems to have been a constant connection between him and Grazt, I have not found any evidence, he has not told me, it is all my speculation. Jecob looked at Umar and said in a very serious tone, "Are you sure we're going to take this risk?"

"You have to take that risk. Oumar sighed, "Otherwise, Torrell will be in danger." ”

Jecob stared at Oumar for a while, then turned to look at Penny with a calm expression, "Oh~ So he's your chosen savior? ”

"I have lived through the most arrogant times of Torreel's arcanists, and I know their qualities, great masters of knowledge. Jecob looked at the wizard and came to a faint conclusion.

"There is nothing the gods can do about this calamity. Oumar's expression was also very helpless.

"So...... This human wizard, if you go to see Asmodeus, I will have a hard time guaranteeing your safety. Jecob asked the wizard, "He may accept our request, this majesty has always been a man of his word, but he is likely not to accept it, or even kill you...... I don't know how most wizards would behave in the face of such a choice, but I'd like to hear your thoughts. ”

"If this is what Your Highnesses have discussed and considered the most feasible solution, of course I will accept it, Your Highness. Penny bowed, "I have a reason to do this." ”

"I'd like to believe that this reason is not to be a hero to save the world, a wizard. There was a faint hint of wisdom in Jecob's old but clear eyes: "But this can be reassuring, since you have made your choice, then be prepared to bear the consequences...... I will summon Asmodeus for you. ”

Penny nodded.

The summoning ritual is very simple.

The Lord of Winter had filled a cup of Styx water, an intangible water that could not have been carried in any container, but this cup, or the ancient god holding the cup, had the extraordinary ability to sprinkle this cup of Styx water beyond the Styx - it flowed on the ground and drew a rune, and with the rune rose a dark cloud.

Penny immediately felt himself engulfed by an astonishing darkness - not directed at **, but directly at his heart, against all the presence of light in his heart, in this cold darkness, he could hardly feel any light presence, and he forced himself to concentrate on not revealing any distractions that might cause peeping.

The records left by many knowledgeable ** masters in the research plane have pointed out that the master of the nine layers of hell is probably the most powerful existence in the lower realm, and he is more powerful than any demon or devil lord, and even some records that seem not so reliable claim that this great devil is the creator of hell.

Although the Bato demon clan in Hell appeared in the Nether long before Asmodeus ruled the Nine Hells, the concept of hell was clearly formed after Asmodeirs defeated Bato's father Zargon and took the ruling power of the entire Bato demon clan.

What makes many wizards even more curious and confused is where the Lord of Hell came from.

Asmodeus is clearly not a native of Hell, and there are many theories about where he came from, but it's clear that the answer is still a mystery.

Few people have ever seen Asmodeus, it is said to be a horrible experience, he is rarely exposed to the eyes of mortal things, and it is said that anyone who sees him will have their souls snatched from him at the slightest thought.

Now Penny feels it.

As a mortal being, he felt like being dominated by an incredibly powerful force, even if he had faced so many powerful divine powers, he had never felt such a feeling.

This made him sweat like rain, and he tilted his head slightly, and saw the expressions of Oumar and Jecob, which were also very ugly.

At this moment, Penny suddenly understood that the power possessed by the Lord of the Nine Hells was definitely greater than that of most gods.

He watched as the black cloud morphed into a hollow circle, like a big mouth.

Penny narrowed his eyes, it wasn't Asmodeus' real body, but he did appear:

"Oh, it's you, Lord of Winter...... What's the matter this time? a new soul? Hmm? This is ......?"

The black circle turned to Oumar in a tone of surprise: "Powerful divine power?"

He doesn't seem to know Omar.
