Chaos Crown

Chapter 554, God has a purpose
Tyr instinctively reached out to catch the crown of the King of Slaughter. The blood crown covered with thorns immediately cut Tyr's wrist. Large drops of divine blood spilled on the endless wilderness plain, but the justice God doesn't care.

After suffering a severe blow, the gods were still not satisfied. They then set their sights on the bound Cyric body. Some gods already had evil intentions.

Among them, those who hated Cyric the most were Midnight and Lathander, who couldn't wait to tear Cyric's face apart.

As for why Cyric, who is at the peak of his powerful divine power, can only be beaten violently by the gods of the country?
The reason is simple, because Cyric's access to the Magic Network was closed at midnight.

Magic is the foundation of the kingdom. Without the magic network, Cyric would not be able to use magic, use magic, or use his divine power.

So from a certain point of view, the goddess of magic is the most powerful deity in the country, provided that she cannot violate the rules set by AO.

However, Heim once again blocked Midnight, just as he blocked the second-generation Magic Goddess in the Year of Turmoil.

"Stop!" the God of Guardian said stubbornly and stubbornly: "That's enough. According to the laws we established for the Chaos Demon Dog Kozif, if the gods break the seal, other gods have the right to punish him, but they cannot kill him! "

"Heim is right." Tom, the god of loyalty and courage, also resolutely stopped in front of Midnight and Lathander: "And as the bookbinder said, Cyric is the god of the dead, and he is in charge of the land of strife. City, other gods cannot enter Hades unless invited. If we kill him, what will happen to the countless undead in Hades? "

"Of course we will have a new God of Hades!" Midnight Hate, full of resentment, even her usually elegant voice was distorted: "Cyric must die, must die!"

No wonder Midnight hated Cyric so much. She once regarded Cyric as a confidant and partner. The two of them took risks together to find the Stone of Destiny, and a spark of emotion arose between them.

However, people cannot keep pretending. As Sune's priest Ayton and the dull and resolute warrior Kelanvor join their team, Cyric's chaotic, dark and vicious nature is gradually exposed, and the team has more and more conflicts. Especially for the lawful good Kelemvor, getting along with Cyric is extremely painful and constantly tramples on the moral bottom line.

Midnight struggled to get Kelemvor and Cyric to live in peace, but Cyric finally left them.

In fact, this matter is also very unfair to Cyric. From the perspective of Cyric, who has an extremely evil nature, he has already made a huge concession for Midnight.

This string was finally completely broken after having an affair with Kelanwo at midnight.

In the final battle of Saint's Catastrophe, the decisive battle at the Horned Crown on top of the Tower of Waterdeep, Cyric stabbed Kelemvor in the back at the moment Midnight's team won, and almost killed Midnight. If AO hadn't promoted Midnight For God's sake, the lovers will both die.

To this day, Kelemvor's whereabouts remain unknown, and even though he is indeed dead, his soul is nowhere to be found.

After Cyric became a god, his hatred for Midnight continued to break through Mount Olympus and penetrated the upper and lower nine realms of the World Tree.

Midnight wants Cyric dead, and wants it now!
Needless to say, Lathander naturally hates evil, and Cyric also said that if the blood of the Midnight Priest cannot be obtained, Lathander and the priests of the Three Gods of Justice can make do.

Tyr also agreed with Heim's decision: "At least, we must open the High Council of Gods and call upon His Majesty AO to convict Cyric... By the way, this crown..."

The God of Justice showed the crown of the Lord of Slaughter: "We just asked His Majesty AO, can Aaron Salian become the Lord of Slaughter?"

Su Lun didn't want to speak at all, but after hearing this, the Silver Virgin immediately stepped forward and said coldly: "Tyr! Do you want to regret it?"

"None of us agreed. In exchange for providing the coordinates of the kingdom of God, we must give Aaron the crown of killing." Ogma came out to smooth things over: "Everything should wait until the High Council of Gods decides."

"You will regret it! You will regret this behavior!" Midnight said, and she suddenly realized that she had lost the opportunity to kill first and play later.

"Let's go, let's convene the High Council of Gods!"

The gods of the Pantheon rushed toward the Pole Star Camp in a mighty manner.

The appearance of the Pole Star Camp is different in the eyes of all the gods present.

In the eyes of Fire-haired Sune, the camp was a magnificent hall, filled with mirrors, reflecting her flawless beauty; what Tempus saw was a heavily guarded command room in the center of the fortress, where the war had begun. Battle maps and military information sheets from the holy wars in which God participated were plastered on every wall and table.

The mother of the earth, Chantia, came. The mother of the earth, who had not participated in the previous siege of Cyric, was not interested in this kind of meeting. In her view, the camp was an endless wheat field, and the crops were blowing slowly with the autumn wind, waiting forever. With harvest.

The gods also have different appearances in each other's eyes.

To Lathander, Lord of the Morning, these powers are either a ray of light or a dark cloud, each enhancing or obscuring the glorious sunrise that symbolizes the resurrection that Lathander brought to the world.

For Talos, the destroyer and warlike god of storms, gods who are kind and lawful in nature are islands of calm in the turbulent thunderstorms he brings, which is disgusting.

What Suellen saw was a baby running under a silvery moon, while Shar saw only countless monsters making noises in the endless darkness.

All eleven powerful divine powers from the National High Council of Gods were present. Among them, only Cyric was tied to his position. Prince Dark Sun kept sneering at this time, and he seemed to have given up on struggling.

Suellen and others were invited to the stands - they were not qualified to participate in the High Council of Gods. The same was true for racial gods such as Corellon and Moradin. They were not completely gods of the country. Although they were also powerful gods, the high gods There is no place for them in Parliament.

Only then did Su Lun Mama realize why Aaron had to push her to gain powerful powers.

The world in Tyr's eyes was a solemn grand court. As the adjudicator appointed by AO, Heim and Thom stood on both sides of him. Golden light shot out from the empty eye sockets of the crippled god: "All eleven members have been Come on, let’s get started!”

"Hear our pleas, Lord of all glory and wisdom," Tyr began to pray, "We seek your wisdom."

Other gods joined in the call one after another, their voices getting louder and their words getting sharper, until all the gods began to shout like crazy - except for Cyric, who sat quietly in the commotion, His face was gloomy and he had a sneer on his face.

You will die, you will all die!

As the prayers of the gods grew louder, the Pole Star camp began to respond.

The gods found themselves surrounded by a vast and empty astral ocean. The consciousness of the gods was sucked into the void, and gradually only weak and distant shouts remained.

The mortal world receded from them, hazy like a mirage in the desert, dimly visible through the haze, haunted by ghosts. Suddenly, the ocean of nothingness turned into a night sky dotted with thousands of stars, each emitting a faint, strange light, and in unison emitted the frightening sound of heaven.

An unfriendly voice lit up the uneasiness in the hearts of the gods. His voice pressed the souls of the gods to the edge of the universe like a hydraulic press, devouring every ounce of their consciousness and strength, and millions of planets together Singing, turning into an angry voice. [Guardians of Balance, I regret that you summoned me for such a boring thing. 】

[As Aaron Salian described to you, killing you and blowing out your divine fire is the power I give to Cyric. Fighting against Cyric and confronting every one of his crimes is also the responsibility I give you. It is your duty to deal with the Chaos Dog Kozif, and it is Cyric's freedom to release the Chaos Dog. 】

[Now, you know that it was indeed Cyric who killed Lyra and released the Chaos Demon Dog. This is enough. When Cyric made it his mission to kill the gods, when you made it his mission to stop every conspiracy of Cyric. And running, balance, is in it. 】

[Innocence is sin, sin is innocence. 】

The roaring sound of the gods was like a supernova explosion, which made the gods, especially the powerful gods who made the request, dizzy.

AO stopped talking.

Ogma was the first to understand what AO meant: the gods had no right to deal with Cyric, because in AO's eyes, Cyric had fulfilled his duties perfectly, and he was guilty, so he was not guilty.

"We believe that we are also doing our best to prevent Cyric's destruction, Your Majesty AO." Tyr, the God of Justice, said: "So we took away his [Killing] priesthood. When he released the Chaos Demon Dog's From that moment on, I think what we do helps bring balance to everything.”

【Tyr! It seems that me poking out your eyes has indeed made you no longer so blind, so blind. 】

There was a hint of relief in AO's words: [So you plan to give the killing crown to Aaron Salian? 】

"If you allow it, Your Majesty AO." Tyr nodded.

[Masters of the Pole Star, you come and go, but the kingdom is eternal. 】

AO did not answer this question directly.

No positive answer is the best answer.

All the stars and stars in the universe faded away at this moment, leaving only AO's faint warning: [Mystra, you should learn to perform your duties in your own way! 】

AO left. He looked very unhappy because he was disturbed by boring things. Shar and Talos looked at each other. They both had no doubt that if there was a next time, AO would pick out one or more lucky ones. Son, execute these gods who are inferior to Him.

Shar hoped it would be Selûn, and Talos hoped it would be Lathander.

I don’t know when, Cyric got out of trouble.

Prince Dark Sun laughed and clapped, and he quickly ran to the middle of the High Council of Gods: "Anything else? Are there any other questions? Great Masters of the Pole Star? I, sinless, I, the supreme Dark Sun Holy Lord, not guilty!”

"This won't be the last time I punish you!" Tyr clenched his fist with one hand. Faced with Cyric's provocation, he dared not speak angrily: "You will be judged, Dark Sun!"

"Didn't you hear what AO said?" Cyric sneered, "I didn't commit any crime. Laila died because I wanted her to die."

He drew the sword named Calamity and pointed it at the God of Justice, "Any one of you may be next, and this is my duty in the balance: to remove the weak from this pathetic pantheon."

Thom bravely stood between God's Calamity and his boss. He drew out his silver sword, which was sharp enough to erase rainbows.

He struck the rose-colored blade of the Calamity in a warning manner, assuming a well-trained fighting stance. "We are not as easy to deal with as Lila."

"Go away, Thom!" Cyric repeated grimly: "Did you not hear AO's instructions with only one ounce of brain capacity?"

Tom gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

"Everyone in the Pantheon, none of you who participated in this matter today can escape." Cyric said proudly: "The souls of mortals are under my control. I can make them safe and accept them." Eternal torture and there is nothing you can do about it!"

"Before this, I once allowed you to occasionally accept those lost souls, those ownerless souls, but that's it. I declare that as the God of Hades, from this moment on, the City of Disputes and the Fortress of Bones will officially Shut down for all of you!”

"As AO said, I am not guilty of doing this!"

"Not guilty, hahahahahahahaha~"

Cyric raised his head and laughed, and just walked out of the Pole Star camp. Ten powerful gods and hundreds of gods, none of them dared to stop him.

But just after leaving the Pantheon, Anri, who had just been so glorious, vomited divine blood and screamed with great anger. His facial features became blurred, and more than thirty faces appeared on his face - each of them cursed viciously, answered the servant's questions, and wandered in the nightmare of mortals in the kingdom.

Zhentil Keep has fallen! Crow Fortress has fallen!
Aaron Salian, this little bastard’s Western Army has entered Zhentil Keep! Aaron ordered that anything with Cyric elements be destroyed! Any cleric of Cyric, kill!

The rapid loss of temples, shrines, and believer priests caused Cyric's divine power to decline again. To make matters worse, the Crow Fortress in the north was also breached by the Chaos Demon Army. The armies of the Three Chaos Gods broke into the Crow In the fortress, his throne was shamelessly desecrated!
You must, you must go back to Hades as soon as possible! Restore my power! Use the Holy Scriptures!
…………

Aaron got his answer from Suellen.

God has a purpose!
AO did not approve of him receiving the [Killing] priesthood, but he did not explicitly object. The result of the discussion at the High Council of Gods was to observe Aaron for a period of time before granting him the [Killing] priesthood, allowing him to become a god, starting with a weak divine power.

This gave Aaron a new understanding of the hypocrisy and arrogance of the gods.

The gods of the kingdom are more like mortals with transcendent power. There is no divinity seen in them. On the contrary, the emperor or the Lady of Pain are more divinity in Aaron's eyes.

It doesn't matter, Aaron smiled slightly after receiving the information, because he didn't plan to use [Killing] as his core priesthood. There was only one core priesthood he needed, [Chaos].

For this priesthood, he needs to go to the bottomless abyss and find the head of Spider Queen Rose to get it.

The plan has changed, first deal with the threat of Cyric, and then deal with Rose!
Aaron sent a message to the other Chaos Demon Army in his mind.

Watch me take away your four crowns one by one!
"Chaos Demonic Army, attack the City of Disputes!"
