Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 594 Lord of the Dead - Kelanvor

After completely destroying some of the ruins that Osiris had left in the underworld, Set, who vented a little bit of anger, finally chose to leave helplessly.

He is not a god of death, even if he is targeting Osiris now, if he stays in the underworld for too long, he will still be hostile by other gods of death.

Not to mention that he is currently in a difficult situation of internal and external difficulties, even if he becomes a powerful divine power, he will definitely not be able to ignore many gods of death.

Because in theory, after the death of believers of all gods, their souls will go to the underworld first, and be guarded by many gods of death.

Then each god will send envoys to the underworld to lead the souls of their own believers into the kingdom of God, and Seth is no exception in this regard.

This is another reason why he reacted so strongly when he heard about the resurrection of Osiris and the betrayal of Anubis.

On the other side, after temporarily settling Isis, Horus, and Anubis, Li Wei contacted Penthesilea and Elegy, and then he unexpectedly learned that both of them had already moved forward Taken away by Diana.

Li Wei suddenly understood. It seems that Diana is not strong as an external god, but she still has some special feelings. She should have already started to prepare for her death.

As for the elegy, the reason why the two of them didn't tell themselves such an important thing is probably because they wanted to give themselves an unexpected surprise.

He also arranged for the messenger who is the best at dealing with people to take care of Horus, so that the main body began to try the supernatural power, and Li Wei also sent an incarnation to return to the underworld.

On top of the ruins, three gods of death were already waiting.

The leader was a very ordinary-looking black-haired warrior in mortal attire.

But just looking at Jergal standing behind him, anyone can know his true identity.

The lord of the dead in the human pantheon - the god of death - Kelanvor, also has the two priesthoods of death and the dead.

But Li Wei was a little surprised by another death knight with silver hair like frost and exuding a cold air all over his body.

The god of liches and the undead, the Lich King - Arthas.

Rumors say that although Kelemvor promised to protect Alsace as the main god, the two have always been at odds because of the relationship between priesthood and camp.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

Gathering three death-related gods at once, Li Wei began to speculate about Jergal's invitation this time, but this was not the same as his previous speculation.
Is Jergal's purpose really just that?
Li Wei remembered that when he was in the kingdom of Jergal, Jergal sighed more than once that Kelemvor was not very smart.

Now Jergal is mainly focusing on Kelemvor, and holding the meeting in front of him is probably to encourage the latter to come forward, right?

While thinking about it, Li Wei also took the lead in saying hello: "Osiris has seen Kelemvor, Jergal, and Alsace, the three Highnesses."

Although the other party must be aware of his dual identity, since the god of death is holding a meeting, the identity of Osiris is naturally the main one.

It's a bit helpless to say that when other gods open their vests, they try to avoid being known by other gods, so as not to cause any interference.

But Li Wei has only just become a god, and many gods already know his dual identity.
The only good news is that the current information is still limited to a small area, and both of Levi's identities are irreplaceable.

Let alone the Lord of Heaven Mountain, Osiris has the support of Horus and Anubis, and is recognized by the world consciousness. No matter how helpless, when he saw that there was no chance to kill Osiris again, he had to take the initiative to ease the relationship between them.

Because Osiris is the god of death, unless Seth expends extra divine power to take away the souls of his followers himself every time, they also need to go to the underworld!

The three gods of death returned their salutes one after another. This is the minimum respect between gods.

With a single finger, Jergal turned the surrounding ruins into a magnificent palace, showing his extraordinary control over the underworld.

Even though he had expected it, Li Wei still couldn't help admiring it. He is far from being able to do this now.

Similarly, the eyes of Alsace on the other side are also shining. If he can have the power of Jergal, then he can do more things.
He didn't mention Li Wei's impostor at all, and he said a few words first, Kelenvor cut to the point: "His Royal Highness Osiris, I would like to ask what is your attitude towards undead creatures?"

Li Wei knew why Kelanwo asked this question, because Kelanwo was originally a mortal, and he received part of the legacy of the previous generation of death gods, and directly conferred the gods.

Although he has improved after being the God of Death for so many years, he still maintains many ideas from his mortal days.

That is to hate almost all undead creatures, and he has never created any intelligent undead creatures.

In fact, Li Wei has some objections on this point, because except for liches and some vampires, most undead creatures do not choose to become undead creatures by themselves, and they are essentially cannon fodder that is forcibly driven.

"I very much agree with what you said in your teachings. Death is a part of life, death is a new beginning, and undead creatures should not be abused."

This is a matter of course. If the souls of the believers of the gods are transformed into ghosts after death, the loss of the gods will be too great.

Moreover, vampires and zombies cannot produce offspring through natural reproduction, and basically cannot provide any power of faith. For the gods, they naturally have little value.

Li Wei was very interested in Dracula's deification at the beginning, because it probably means that Dracula has a solution to this problem. Perhaps this is also why many gods basically have a laissez-faire attitude towards Dracula's deification s reason.

Because if Dracula can really make vampires and even other undead creatures generate the power of faith, is it possible for other gods to benefit from it?

But after such a long time, many evil gods feel that they have been deceived, because this vampire demigod has no special support.

As a race god, he does have a certain ability to control ordinary vampires, but he still can't make vampires develop the power of faith.

His believers are mainly Hagui clan, that is, those mortals who try to transform into vampires in order to gain longevity and strength.

The second is some mortals who have undergone special transformation and have taken some special potions.

They may show the characteristics of vampires in some aspects, and also possess some of the vampires' melee combat ability and magical talent, etc., but they are still human beings in essence.

So this vampire god is a bit of a trick, at least for now.

This is not as good as the original god of liches-Visherun. At least there are some liches among the followers of Visharron besides necromancers.

So recently, many evil gods have gradually changed their attitudes towards Dracula, which also made some of Lucia's actions much smoother.

In terms of intelligence ability alone, she, who inherited the power of the Lamia family, is not only unmatched among vampires, but even counting other races, there are basically few who can match her.

Lucia began to spare no effort to search for traces of Dracula's believers and the vampires of the Eclipse Alliance, and has achieved many results so far.

After the rifts in the abyss opened by the demon lords who conferred gods are closed one after another, and Li Wei has also dealt with the matter of the vampire queen and the blood queen, it's time for Lilith to free up her hands and try to deal with Dracula.

Conferring the gods did increase Dracula's strength a lot, but it also gave him a new weakness. As long as all his followers are killed, without the power of faith as a supplement, his death will only happen sooner or later!

Hearing this, Jergal was noncommittal. This was inconsistent with his teachings. He once believed that death was the eternal destination. All things may live for tens of hundreds of years, but they will die for tens of thousands of years.

Of course, this was what he used to think, and now he is no longer obsessed with these things. He has not even managed his own church for thousands of years. In a real sense, he completely relies on the spontaneous worship of mortals.

Alsace remained silent, which also contradicted his thoughts. If he had enough strength, he would certainly want to dominate many powerful undead creatures to plunder the city and completely transform a certain area of ​​the main world into a Paradise of the undead.

Spreading death and fear, making mortals feel awe, is also a powerful way to gain faith, just like raging the gods.

Faith cannot be forced, but in order to avoid the wrath of the gods, those mortals who are like domestic animals will find reasons for themselves, and thus believe in the evil gods who harmed them.

Although I am not that extreme, it is also feasible to adopt some similar methods, or use some evil undead, such as the vampires under Dracula's command.

It's a pity that I have temporarily become Kelemvor's subordinate god, and I will be monitored by the other party to a large extent. These ideas cannot be realized.

Moreover, his own strength is far from enough, and he cannot bear the backlash of mortals and gods at will like the raging gods.

Kelemvor nodded slightly, but at the same time he also knew that usually in such a situation, there would be a turning point later.

Sure enough, Li Wei continued: "At the same time, I also think that the existence of undead creatures is necessary. They can make mortals fear death more and facilitate the gods to build faith."

Kelenvor remained silent. When he first became the god of death, he tried to wipe out all the undead creatures in the main world, but just as Li Wei said, the gods also need the existence of undead creatures.

In other words, not only undead creatures, but also all kinds of beastmen, demons, devils, even natural disasters and man-made disasters, etc., many existences that can threaten the lives of mortals can become tools of the gods.

The gods have never been the servants or nannies of mortals. The gods provide strength and protection, and more to obtain the power of faith.

Just like herders will feed cattle and sheep, they have always really loved cattle and sheep, but they need the milk, fur and meat produced by cattle and sheep.

Alsace's frosty face was slightly thawed. He originally thought that this being who was also the Lord of Mount Paradise would hate the undead especially.

But now it seems that his wisdom makes him not have a particularly strong prejudice against the undead because of his camp, good and evil, etc. This is also good news for himself, because there is really a difference between the two. Many common languages.

"Of course, the power of death cannot be abused at will, especially those evil liches, necromancers and vampires."

"At the same time, I also think that they may have done many wrong things in the past, but at least they should consider giving them a chance to redeem themselves."

Having said that, Li Wei nodded slightly towards Alsace, indicating that he had no particular malice towards him.

Arthas, who inherited part of Velsharoon's clergy and power, treated followers very differently from his predecessor.

Although those necromancers still control undead creatures, their range of action and targets are extremely limited.

They mainly use the corpses of some sinners, and some even work part-time as exorcists, controlling those undead creatures to reunite with their relatives, in order to make profits.

Where possible, they will also mainly use the corpses of evil races such as beastmen, and try not to touch elves and dwarves, etc.

All in all, Arthas seemed to want to take advantage of the time he was under the protection of Kelemvor to try his best to avoid setting up enemies, and began to change the perception of him from the outside world.

If he can sustain it, maybe his camp will change accordingly.

Even Li Wei was a little surprised when he first heard it.

The last existence that had done something similar was probably the Frost Maiden of the Raging Gods - Aurul. Most of her clerics - Ice Priestesses were active in Kislev, the kingdom of ice and snow.

If it is winter, the range of activities may expand many times, but they are obviously neutral evil, but in fact they seldom rely on robbery to make a fortune.

Because just by working as postmen and takeaways, they can live a very nourishing life, and there is no need to risk fighting.

Many gods and people have said that if she can break away from the Fury God System and Talos, her camp may be improved as a result.

Alsace took similar actions, although it may also be because his current strength is very weak and he relies heavily on Kelemvor's protection, so he must actively follow the opponent's rules of conduct in order to survive better.

But for Li Wei, Alsace's method is indeed worth learning.

And Li Wei is not all speaking for Alsace, he is also paving the way for his next behavior.

For example, pull vampires such as the vampire queen and the blood queen to the underworld to serve themselves.

Kelemvor pondered for a while, intending to think about it, but in fact he already agrees with Levi's statement on the whole, and the next step is to improve some details.

For example, in terms of attitudes toward demons and devils.

As a lawful and neutral god of death, some of his actions may be strongly questioned by the other party, and may even attract hostility.

If the other party is still the lord of Heavenly Mountain, he will never agree to such a meeting.

But the other party came now as Osiris, and the meeting was facilitated by His Royal Highness Jergal, whom he regarded as a teacher, so he came here.

He felt the need to explain clearly to the other party that after making those decisions back then, he was also full of pain. Even until now, he still often feels self-blame, but he was also for the greater good.

Li Wei hasn't finished yet: "Considering that the main world has the largest number of humans, their will is too weak to resist the temptation of evil, so I think we need to be extra careful when it comes to humans."

"Well, our Egyptian pantheon and Tomb Kings are a bit special, I need some time to deal with them."

Hearing this, Kelemvor finally showed a satisfied smile. He is essentially a human god of death, and of course he also considers the interests of the human dead.

If evil races such as green skins or beastmen were transformed into undead, he would certainly be upset, but in fact he wouldn't have too much trouble, just destroy them if he saw them.

As for other races such as elves and dwarves, it was even less of a problem for him to worry about.

The Egyptian gods are self-contained and have never played with other gods. The Tomb Kings are also a problem left over from thousands of years, which has not been resolved in the past. Osiris has repeatedly rejected his kind help.

Now that Li Wei is so sincere, of course it is impossible for him to push forward.

So Kelemvor immediately nodded with a chuckle: "I think His Royal Highness Osiris and I have a lot in common. Maybe we can cooperate more comprehensively in the future, for example, to target those demons who come to the underworld to plunder souls."

Of course, Li Wei understood why Kelanwo emphasized so much, because normally, the plane barrier in the main world is the strongest, but the barrier from the bottomless abyss to the underworld is relatively weaker.

In the past, almost all gods of death have been plagued by the same, Osiris, Kelemvor.

Kelemvor's revenge is usually very quick and direct, that is, he directly sends his avatar to the bottomless abyss, and he will kill the demons on that floor if they rob the soul. The lord is also killed together.

Ordinary demons have no brains, but the demon lord knows how to fear the power of this powerful divine power.

So after so many years, some demon lords will take the initiative to restrain their subordinates and try not to go to Kelemvor's underworld to snatch souls.

From this point of view, there is almost no difference between Kelemvor and the three major celestial clans in their attitude towards demons.

It's just that, in terms of dealing with the devil, there is a huge difference.

When the three great celestial clans deal with devils, they have always been uncompromising, and what they pay attention to is to eliminate evil and do everything they can.

But Kelemvor, Jerge had faintly revealed before that Kelemvor seemed to be cooperating with the devils. According to the agreement, when the demons plundered the souls of the city of the dead, the devils needed to stop them.

Because not all demon lords are afraid of Kelemvor, and not all demon lords can restrain their greed.

Moreover, the demon lord will also fall, and there will be successors who do not believe in evil and want to try Kelemvor's power.

What's more, there are too many layers in the bottomless abyss, and there will always be new layers and new demon lords born.

For all these reasons, Kelemvor couldn't deter all demons all the time. He needed to cooperate with the demons.

As a price, Kelemvor would allow the devils to seduce the souls of his city of the dead to a certain extent.

Perhaps most mortals will choose one or more gods to believe in, but if the piety is not enough and the strength is not particularly outstanding, the gods will not take care of the souls of ordinary mortals for no reason, so most of these souls will be lost to many gods of death hands.

Some need to go through trial before being sent to reincarnation, some need to make atonement in the underworld, and so on.

As a powerful divine power, Kelemvor undoubtedly has the largest number of souls in the city of the dead in the underworld, and also attracts the most attention from demons and demons, so that even he himself cannot take care of them all.

Perhaps in Kelemvor's view, cooperation with the devil is a necessary sacrifice, and Levi can roughly understand it, but he will never imitate the other party.

Moreover, Jergal obviously didn't agree with Kelemvor's approach, so Jergal would take the initiative to tell himself this information, but Kelemvor probably thought he didn't know anything about it.

Although there are many thoughts in his heart, Li Wei still nodded in agreement on the surface: "Yes, I have always advocated fighting the devil to the end, especially now that many demon lords have ascended to the gods, and they will definitely take more drastic actions. I also hope that Can cooperate with His Royal Highness Kelanwo."

In fact, Li Wei already has a general idea, that is to gradually replace ordinary guards with constructs.

But because he hasn't obtained the relevant priesthood, let alone a strong enough advantage, if he speaks out rashly now, he may only make a wedding dress for others.

Kelemvor also nodded with a smile: "I am also looking forward to working with His Royal Highness Osiris, at least we still have some time now."

Although many demon lords have successfully conferred gods, at present, compared with other gods, demon lords have serious innate shortcomings.

First of all, most of them only have chaos and evil domains, and most of their priesthoods are very single, usually gnolls, ghouls, shadow demons, and succubi, etc., which are highly targeted racial priesthoods.

Secondly, on the part of believers, expecting demons full of madness and chaos to honestly believe in them and provide them with the power of faith is simply a joke.

Without enough power of faith, it is naturally impossible to transform divine power, and even to open up the kingdom of God, etc., and it is also impossible to comprehend or use extraordinary divine power.

And without these, how many advantages are left of them as gods?
So in the past period of time, after several short fights, Kelanvor has been able to roughly confirm that those demon lords who have already become gods basically still use the old-fashioned fighting methods of the past.

At most, with the strengthening of godhead and priesthood, their various attributes and resistance to physical and magical attacks have improved a lot.

It is foreseeable that if no major accidents occur, they will continue to maintain this state for a long period of time. The initial stage of new gods is always the most difficult.

Of course, Li Wei can also understand Kelanwo's meaning, because in the past few days, many demon lords who are closer to the 600th floor have dispatched troops to try to follow the passage to the small fire elemental plane, and then break through to main world.

Among them is a guy named Kelly, the mother of the black earth, who is also the same batch of gods as the succubus queen-Mecanxiet. Easily beaten by Sobek's avatar.

If it weren't for the fact that she is a very special earth attribute demon, with the ability to use the black soil of the abyss to create something similar to a lich's phylactery, she might become the second demon god to fall rapidly.

After such a consensus was reached, the atmosphere gradually became much more harmonious. After pondering for a while, Kelemvor finally chose to tell Levi about his cooperation with the devil.

Li Wei naturally showed a shocked look, and shook his head again and again, expressing that he would never make any form of compromise with the devil.

This made Kelemvor feel very embarrassed and helpless, but at the same time, he was also a little relieved, because although the camp is lawful and neutral, in fact he is still somewhat inclined to kindness. Now that Li Wei shows such an attitude, maybe he really Can be a god of death.

However, Kelanwo explained the details a little bit, not to gain Li Wei's understanding, but to show the truth of the facts.

It turned out that Kelemvor still paid a lot of attention to the matter of cooperating with the devils. He didn't let the devils wander freely in his city of the dead, but just a specific area in it.

The souls there were all specially selected by Kelemworth, those who had done evil, killed too much, corrupt officials, corrupt nobles, and those who had made deals with demons, etc., a series of evil souls.

At the same time, Kelenvor also stipulated that the devil can only seduce and trade, and cannot force or deceive those souls.

With these rules in place, souls willing to go to the Nine Hells are definitely not good things, and Kelanvor can minimize the loss.

Li Wei nodded, and his original opinion on Kelanwo has been dispelled a lot.

But even so, there should still be some innocent victims. Kelemvor didn't sign such a contract with all the devils in the nine-level Baator Hell.

And even if the contract is signed, the devils can still use various loopholes and the art of language to deceive those souls, which is what they are best at.

But Kelemvor did his best.

So Li Wei immediately said: "I will not choose this method, but I respect His Royal Highness Kelanwo's choice."

Kelemvor couldn't help but relax a little when he heard the words. In his opinion, this was enough.

In fact, as a powerful god, there is no need to explain everything he does to Li Wei, a new god who has just ascended to the gods, but he thinks that Li Wei is the god of death who is most likely to understand him and reach a cooperation with him.

Moreover, His Royal Highness Jerge also believed that Li Wei had great potential, and at the same time, Li Wei might also be able to become a helper in the next action, so he came here on purpose and took all the trouble.

Now it seems that the effort was not in vain.
