Evolve bloodline from golden dragon

Chapter 169 (Jumpable) Abyss and Demons

After sending away Raphael and other human coalition forces, Theos first followed the so-called "convention" and sent scouts to pass the news of the defense change of the Demon Resisting Fortress to his neighbors—that is, the friendly fortresses on both sides of the fortress.

One of them has already been mentioned, which is the God of War Fortress garrisoned by the Auger Empire.As for the other one, it is the Qingxue Fortress jointly stationed by the Kingdom of Sunset and the Principality of Landsdorf.Although Theos didn't think there would be any problems on his side, he still informed them.

After that, Theos took his subordinates to settle in the City Lord's Mansion in an all-round way.

After the guards carefully inspected every corner of the place, the report provided to Theos surprised him.Although the City Lord's Mansion does not occupy a large area, it has all internal organs.There are not only many separate living rooms, but also independent kitchens, warehouses, training grounds, stables, basements, laboratories and libraries.

Among them, the laboratory of the City Lord's Mansion has been completely ashes. There are many filthy blood stains on the walls, and abandoned iron chains and shackles on the ground. It seems that some mages have conducted "biological" experiments here, but now It was dilapidated, and Theos felt that the use of this place was suspicious, so he didn't plan to use it, and continued to seal the matter.

What surprised him the most was the small library attached here. There were many bookshelves and books in it, and Theos had someone clean it right away.

After that, he handed over the defense to Valcke, and he sorted out these books in his spare time.There are various bibliographies, which may have been brought by the people who garrisoned the fort in the past, or may have been left for themselves by the creator of the fort.

It is worth mentioning that many of the books here are related to the abyss, and there are also many discussions, writings, and experimental records about the devil itself.Some of the content in it was already known to Theos, and there were many other records that Theos felt benefited a lot.

It took him two days to skim through the books. The content ranged from the birth of the abyss to the creation, development, and destruction of demons.

The birth of the abyss took a very long time, and there are only some stories in the books that are similar to myths. Considering the nature of this world, Theos feels that the credibility of the myths is still very high.

In the beginning of the universe, even before the gods and Aragami began their terrible war, there was a god who was not content to share power - he wanted complete control of this nascent world.

The deity, whose name no one dared speak aloud, sought a power that would allow him to bring every corner of the universe under his rule.In the vastness of the universe, he found the weapon he sought - a small fragment of creation that was absolutely evil.

Touching the shard drove him mad, and he degenerated so completely that no one could recognize him.Still, he took the shard of crystal to the depths of the universe, to the bottom of the primordial immensity--in the future, this would be Elemental Chaos--and placed it there where evil took root, like a star The seeds of corruption and filth penetrated into the unformed elemental chaos, and then spread its unclean root system to a wider area.

Open a rift filled with endless darkness and despair at the very bottom of the universe, swallowing everything, even light, and desecrating everything that is sucked in.

The bottomless abyss was born.

The evil of the Abyss has corrupted some mighty Aragami—Demogorgon, Baphomet, Orcus—and turned them into pure, destructive evil.

The mad god wanted to use these demonic lords as his weapons to conquer the war, but the demons refused to obey anyone except himself.So he left the Abyss and commanded the other elemental powers that did his bidding, but the other gods overcame it and imprisoned him forever in a secret place known only to them.Now, he is known as "The Prisoner God", and his ardent followers call him "Eye of the Ancient Elements".

His only wish is to escape from his own cage, and he never thought about the impact on this universe due to his carelessness.However, the bottomless abyss still exists, like a sore under the elemental chaos, bringing endless pain.

In its utterly dark depths, demons breed and live out their short, violent lives before being absorbed back into the darkness again.

Demon Lords rule over their respective domains, planning to destroy the gods and all that they have created.And somewhere far beyond any imagination, the Heart of the Abyss still beats to its sinister beat.

In a nutshell, that god created the bottomless abyss with an absolutely evil creation fragment, and that fragment became the heart of the abyss, and the entire abyss had a bottom-level will.

After the creation of the abyss, the demons were born. Although they are in a one-to-one relationship, they are actually symbiotic as a whole and will develop together.

The birth of the devil--

The demons born in the various levels of the Abyss are the embodiment of chaos and evil, or more properly, the source of destruction packed into huge and strange bodies.

Demons do not know pity, sympathy, or kindness, beings that exist only to destroy.As an extension of its chaos, the Abyss autonomously creates demons of foulness and carnage.Individual individuals are unique monsters, but others share a similar shape.

Some demons (such as the original demon) are created by mortals. They may be cursed by the gods, or they are simply trapped in the abyss for various reasons.

Although some are produced by various other means, generally speaking, the vast majority of demons are independent products of the abyss, and they are the extension of the will of the abyss.

When it comes to demons, we have to mention those truly powerful abyss chief villains—the demon lords.

The chaotic forces of the Abyss gather and condense, forming a ruthless and exquisite dark boon.They continue to change and finally take shape, giving birth to several unique demons with god-like abilities, which are demon lords.

These demon lords use cunning and brutal means to lead one side, and each plan how to overwhelm the heroes and finally rule the entire Abyss.

There are countless violent demons running through the bottomless abyss, and most of the demon lords are promoted from these low-level demons.The bounty condensed by the abyss will also elevate certain powerful outsiders who conquer the abyss level.

There are many rumors that Graz'zt, the "lord of darkness", is a creature from another plane, and his title of demon lord was taken from a forgotten native demon.

These demon lords have their own territory and sphere of influence in the endless abyss, and the powerful ones even control one or several layers of the abyss.

The most important indicator of a demon lord's strength is his ability to reshape the regions of the Abyss.

The layers of the Abyss each Lord controls are no ordinary lands, twisted and deformed to reflect the evil personality of their Overlord Demon.As a result, demon lords rarely leave their domain, lest other creatures take the opportunity to occupy and reshape the place.

No one really knows the exact number of demon lords in the Abyss.

Due to the infinite depth of the plane, powerful demons are constantly promoted to new demon lords, only to be quickly torn from their positions by other demons.Among these rising demon lords are some particularly powerful individuals who have held their lordship for such a long time that their reputations have spread far and wide among the demonic hordes of the Abyss.

In the book, some guys who have long been notorious in the universe are briefly introduced——

Baphomet, known as the "King of Magic Horns" or "Lord of Beasts".

"Whispering Beast" Demogorgon, proclaimed himself "Demon Lord".

Graz'zt, the "Lord of Darkness", was nearly nine feet tall and looked handsome with dark skin. He was regarded as the demon lord closest to a humanoid creature.

Jubilex, "The Weird Faceless King", the demon lord of the oozes, is a pool of poisonous fluid matter lurking in the depths of the Abyss.

Orcus, known as the "Lord of Undead" or "Lord of Blood", is worshiped by all undead creatures and those living who wield the power of undead.

Yeenoghu, known as the "Lord of the Gnoll" or "The Bloodthirsty Beast", yearns for senseless slaughter and destruction.

"The Lord of Deceit" Frazieru;

"The Lord of Wrath" Kostchurch;
"Lord of the Low Altitude" Pazuzu;

"Ms. Fungi" Zugmoy and more...

It should be noted that some of these demon lords were already very powerful existences and then fell into the abyss after being polluted, such as Demogorgon.Others were promoted by ordinary demons - within the demons, there was a very strict rank and promotion system.

Demons obey only pure power.Relying on the threat of force, the high-level demons command all kinds of crazy and screaming low-level demons, driving the weak to spread destruction for them.

And the status of the devil also rises with the blood and sweat it sheds. The more enemies it defeats, the stronger it becomes.

A demon may be born in the form of a primordial, become a dwarf, and fight through the Abyss until it finally survives and transforms into a vlo.

In addition to this uncommon evolutionary process, many more demons were wiped out in the struggle before gaining any great power.

The best survivors of the original competition form the demon lord class, and their endless struggle threatens to split the abyss at all times.

In addition, in addition to demons being promoted through fighting, demon lords can consume a considerable amount of mana to transform low-level demons into higher-level forms.

After figuring out the birth of demons and their social nature, relevant scholars can finally try to explain a question, that is, what are these demons doing, or what do they want to do?
This answer is actually surprisingly simple, so simple that there is no need to explore it, it can be broken at a glance.The only usefulness of the work of scholars is to find out the reasons for their actions.

The demons are always looking for portals to other planes in the abyss.They seized the opportunity to leave the abyss, and then released the chaotic darkness to other planes and eventually filled the multiverse, destroying the creations of the gods, destroying civilization, and turning the entire universe into despair and ruins.

In some of the darkest legends, shadows of a demonic infestation have threatened the mortal world.In fact, even countries that are fighting fiercely will temporarily put aside their disputes to jointly fight against the invasion of demons, or seal the opening of the abyss together.

In the Land of Eternal Night in Rothschild Continent, such a thing is happening.

And it's very unfair that outside of the bottomless abyss, demons are not afraid of death.

Common crude weapons cannot harm these daemons, and many possess resistance to the most powerful spell energies.

When a demon is narrowly slain by heroes in battle, it turns into foul ichor and immediately re-forms itself in the abyss.Its essence and mind are the same as before, only the hatred has become more vigorous.

The only way to truly kill a demon is to enter the Abyss and strangle its essence within it.Powerful demons use arcane techniques combined with abyssal metals to create a talisman that stores part of their life essence as insurance.Once it is slain in the Abyss, this amulet allows it to respawn at any time and place at will.

Similarly, when the most powerful demons, that is, demon lords die on other planes, their essence will return to the abyss and re-form a new body, and the demon lords who die in the abyss will also be completely destroyed.

For this reason, most demon lords keep a small portion of their essence well-preserved to avoid this fate.

This also explains why it is not enough for all the material worlds to just resist demons in their home planes, they must mobilize troops to fight demons in the abyss battlefield, killing countless soldiers for no reason.

Because outside of the Abyss, there is no point in "killing" demons, they will still respawn.

Only here, in the hometown and birthplace of the demons, can they really be wiped out.To put it bluntly, this is an offensive defensive strategy.

Several books in the library—"The Book of Darkness", "The Book of Aham Darkness" and "The Chronicle of Igvil Volt Demons" are famous works on demon studies. An attempt to make the devil pay.

These tomes tell how to seal the demon essence in the material plane, so that it can be trapped in weapons, statues and jewelry, and cannot return to the abyss.

The method is also very simple, that is, the objects used to trap the devil must be prepared with unclean spells and the blood of innocent people, and the finished product will emit obvious evil, and haunt the cold and foul air.

However, the creature that controls the object will be plagued by nightmares and evil impulses, and can also control the essence itself imprisoned in the object.The demon is freed when the object is destroyed, and it immediately seeks revenge on its captor.

When seeing this piece of content, Theos couldn't help but think of the laboratory in the Santo's Mansion.

"Maybe it's a place where demon experiments are conducted..." Theos guessed.
