The knight in the abyss

Chapter 731 God's Battle
"At this point Cyric yelled unwillingly: 'No! Everything I've been through is for...' and Io yelled at the thief: 'Shut up! I don't care about being challenged, but don't let me Feel like I made a bad decision for the new god.'”

"Damn it." Lancelot took the glass away from his lips, "I don't like the direction of the story a bit."

"The Lord of the Gods looked straight at the thief who stood before him through murder and betrayal, and asked, 'That's what you want, isn't it?' Cyric staggered up the stairs and shouted:' Yes! Yes! Thank you, my lord, and I will serve you well!" And a deep, cruel chuckle escaped Io's throat, "Don't be grateful to me, wicked Cyric, Being the master of strife, murder, and the dead is not a gift. You want divinity, you want great power, you want control of your own destiny, but you can only get two of those. You will have it in the realm of the dead Divinity and power, and all earthly misery at your will, but you will never know contentment and happiness again. What you most desire, Cyric, will never come true. Now you are mine Yes, you will serve me, and those who adore you. I am quite sure that it will not be long before you find that you have less freedom than you once did when you were a thief in the streets of Zhentil Keep How pathetic.'"

"That's... a very interesting judgment." Lancelot scratched his head, "What happened after that?"

"Because the content after that involves the current God of Magic, so there are only approximate records." Kara Lin shrugged, "Io said, as punishment for the theft, He made Bane and Melkor disappear, but the magic The bestower, Mysra, is also gone, and even God God himself can’t bring Mysra back, so he proposed to let Midnight, who inherited the power of Mysra, become the new goddess of magic, but Midnight refused at first, saying that she would become a god. It's not that she wants to retrieve the Fate Tablet, nor is she interested in corrupting herself like Cyric. Ai Ou said, I took away a mortal, because of his viciousness and cruelty, I originally wanted to take another one, Because of her intelligence and sincerity."

"The old man is trying to balance again." Star Strike interjected, "He is really obsessed with the so-called balance, good and evil, chaos and order, as if once the balance is lost, something terrible will happen to the multiverse Like a catastrophe..."

"So Midnight was so convinced?" Lancelot asked.

"It was Anton, the former priest of Sune, who convinced her. He said to Midnight, you should accept it, or Cyric would really win. The words of the former priest reminded Midnight of helping her in the Obscure Realm Her death made her realize that Kelemvor's soul was in the realm of the dead. So she told the Lord of the Gods that she accepted the offer and would make Cyric regret his betrayal of his friends forever."

"and then?"

"Then Io raised his hand, and the sky ladder and everything on it disappeared in a beam of light. The beam of light was so dazzling that thousands of citizens of Waterdeep City who were looking at the top of the mountain were briefly blinded. The beam of light was Rising from hundreds of cities sheltered by the gods, every saint who fell into the mortal world returned to their homeland in the outer world. Midnight became the new goddess of magic. In order to minimize the confusion of believers, she used Mystra became her god name, and immediately healed the scar on Anton's face, and the latter became her first priest. Cyric inherited all the priesthood of the three gods of death, and Jergal also I gladly accepted the reality that I have a new master. The saint catastrophe is over, but its aftermath..."

"Wait a minute." Lancelot held his forehead, "Where's Kelenvor? From the story I heard just now, he was killed by Cyric, but why is he said to be the current god of death?"

"Be patient, I was about to say this, but I was interrupted by you." Kara Lin looked helplessly at Lancelot, "First of all, what I'm going to say next is not like the last scene of the saint catastrophe There are a large number of witnesses, these are the statements of the victors, that is, Midnight and Kelemvor, and Cyric, Prince of Lies, will obviously have a completely different point of view, but considering what he has done in the past, scholars believe that The versions given by Midnight and Kelemvor are closer to the truth..."

"After Cyric and Midnight became gods, the two broke out almost immediately. Midnight summoned eleven great powers and accused Cyric of shaking the faith of mortals by disguising himself in the image of other gods. Kill the other party before his faith recovers, so that the dead can be punished arbitrarily on the grounds that the other party is a hypocrite, and Tom even personally testified in the court of the gods..."

"Will the gods also call the court?" Lancelot asked curiously, "Do they have the right to dispose of another god?"

"No, but if they can come to an agreement, they can call for the coming of Io... You know, if a bunch of believers decide to call out to their god together, no matter how stupid the reason is, that god will somehow Show up." Karaline shrugged, "Yet Io refused to strip Cyric of his priesthood. 'Spreading lies and confusion is Cyric's duty, and it is your duty to fight him.' Said the Lord of the Gods. So Midnight issued an excommunication order on Cyric on the spot, completely prohibiting him from using the magic net, because theoretically, this former human female mage has every right to do so."

"Why didn't Midnight do it on the spot?" Lancelot scratched his head, "As one of the most powerful gods, the Goddess of Magic should be better than the Lord of the Dead in terms of strength, right?"

"Well, gods are not the same as us, they can be here and there." Karaline racked his brains to think about adjectives, "You can imagine that there are many torches around their heads, and these torches will Create countless shadows. Some shadows respond to the prayers of believers, some shadows give their priests magic, and some shadows go to participate in a hearing against themselves. In fact, their bodies have always been in their own In the kingdom of God, unless the brain is completely broken, it is almost impossible for a god to be killed in his own kingdom of God, and Midnight is still responsible for managing the magic net, so it is impossible to go to Cyric to desperately In that case, I am afraid that Cyric will not need to act, the Lord of the Gods will strip her of her priesthood first..."

"Oh, well, it makes sense to say that." Lancelot sighed, "Being a god is not so free."

"Of course, gods and priesthood are bound, and becoming a god means taking on certain responsibilities." Kalarin shrugged, "And Cyric naturally wants to avenge Midnight's humiliation. There should be a trump card on the map - Kelemvor's soul. However, a problem emerged: He searched every corner of the Obscure Realm, but he just couldn't find Kelemvor's soul, as if someone deliberately hid the warrior. "
