Chapter 424 A whip(1/4)
A wasteland of destruction and despair...
As its name suggests, this is the most desperate place in all the outer planes, and it is also a land with strong evil tendencies.
According to the results published by some plane scholars, it seems to be located in the lower level of Baator Hell and the Abyss, so it has been one of the main battlefields between the two sides since the bloody battle broke out.
Before the arrival of the Eldrazi, it was common to see legion-level demons and demons fighting each other day and night in the endless wasteland.
But now, the intensity of the war has been significantly reduced.
The devils, who had no worries, began to gradually gain the upper hand.
But whether it is the rage from the abyss or the cunning from hell, we must succumb to the coldness and despair of this plane.
Because from the moment they entered the wasteland of destruction and despair, they were destined to never return to their hometown, and both their bodies and souls would eventually be ruthlessly devoured.
Note that this is not an exaggerated description, but a very appropriate description.
Since this plane is completely shaped by the purest and most powerful evil spiritual force from the entire universe, all creatures that enter this place will, without exception, slowly lose their dreams and hopes, and abandon the hottest part of their souls.
Only a corpse-like body is left, looking like a gray ghost.
Among them, mortal souls that are vicious enough will be quickly twisted into a medium-sized worm after descending to this plane.
The head of this special petitioner has a face that is very similar to the one in life, and it is the most popular "currency" in the entire lower plane.
Not only can they be used as food to provide energy and spell supplements to the eater, they can also be cultivated into any kind of evil spirit.
This is why bloody battles broke out here and became one of the main battlefields.
In fact, both sides are competing for these larvae in the wasteland of destruction and despair that can be converted into their own soldiers.
Of course, excluding demons and devils, there are also many old hags, lichs, and yugoloths here.
In particular, the building called the Desolate Bone Demonic Tower looks like a huge spiral column rising from the ground, with a height of more than 40 kilometers from the ground, and the same is true for the bottom part.
This is the realm ruled by the supreme yuga (a type of yugoloth) king - Medion Clarus.
According to Yuga Mo himself, the Bone Demon Tower was actually made from the spine of a god they killed.
No matter who it is, as long as they can defeat the current Demon King of Yuga and sit on the "Throne of Malice", they will gain the ability to dominate Oinos, the first level of the wasteland of destruction and despair.
Of course, this does not include the kingdom of the goddess of poison and disease that also stands on this level.
In fact, the most distinctive feature of Oinos is the deadly poison and plague that are everywhere.
Whether it is Talona or the supreme Yuga Demon King - Medien Clarus, they can breed, create and change a disease (including plague and mental illness) or toxin at will here, and then use it as a destructive
weapons spread to other prime material planes.
As for the other two levels, they are Pluton and Niva's underworld.
In this wasteland of destruction and despair composed of three levels, there are five gods born in Toril.
In addition to the goddess of poison and disease, there is also the god of vengeance Hall, the goddess of misfortune Beshaba, the god of tyranny Bane, and the goddess of abuse Lavita.
However, as Talona's alignment and priesthood have shifted on a large scale, her country has now become somewhat different from the orientation of the plane itself.
This also means that the corresponding blessing cannot be obtained from the will of the plane.
All the gods are speculating on when Talona will tear her kingdom apart from the wasteland plane of destruction and despair, and where she will move it.
Is it the endless wilderness that represents absolute neutrality and is full of wildness and nature?
Or is it slightly more inclined towards the wild and unrestrained nature of the chaotic good camp?
Or directly join the Natural Temple of "Father of the Oak Tree" Silvanus?
You must know that for a god, this is not just as simple as "moving", but also means a series of changes in his future priesthood, doctrine, etc.
Some gods have grown from weak to powerful through such transformations, while some gods have been abandoned by existing believers because they failed to make good efforts, and eventually died in the star world.
But as the person involved, Talona didn't seem nervous about the upcoming transformation. She was still sitting on the throne in a very leisurely manner, ruling the country that was getting bigger and bigger as its influence increased.
You must know that the biggest difference between the outer plane and the material plane is that its essence is the projection of some kind of spiritual power.
If the intelligent creatures in the entire universe are generally more inclined to that camp, and souls after death are continuously reincarnated into this plane, then the size and area of the plane will increase accordingly, and there is no upper limit in theory.
p>
In the same way, as the influence of a god increases and the number of believers increases, the scope of the country he controls will also increase.
Some influence covers several or even dozens or hundreds of material planes, with billions of believers and tens of billions of powerful divine powers. The scope of their kingdom may be equivalent to several or even dozens of planets put together.
The sum of.
This is also the rule of operation of the universe where the planet Toril is located, and it is the source of all opposition and struggle.
At present, Talona's country is no longer the place full of hot and humid swamps, mosquitoes, poisonous creatures and terrifying plagues.
Quite the opposite!
It is like a huge tropical rain forest. Every day, the process from the birth of life to aging and death is performed, and finally it is decomposed by microorganisms and returns to the earth.
The poisons and plagues are hidden in this process instead of being revealed in a terrifying way.
In addition, in the dense rainforest, you can still vaguely see several cities rising from the ground.
Every city is built with a triangular pyramid altar as its core.
Around the altar, you can see countless female petitioners wearing cool and sexy outfits, praying to the goddess they serve day and night.
Although their expressions are holy and pious, their movements are full of temptation and strong hints, and the dance will inevitably produce some physical impulses after watching them.
Around the city, there are large areas of farmland and pastures that are densely distributed, as if they are trying to establish a civilized country.
Such a normal scene, in a wasteland filled with spiritual gloom and despair, can undoubtedly be regarded as a paradise-like existence.
Therefore, countless demons and a small number of demons who wanted to escape the bloody battle, as well as souls reincarnated from other material planes, all rushed into it.
They hope to find the peaceful life they dream of here.
Admiring the prosperous scene in the entire country, the goddess of torture and abuse, Lovita, asked in an uncertain tone: "My dear Lord God, when did your taste start to become so strange? Especially those of female petitioners.
Those who don’t know about their clothes and movements might think they have entered the kingdom of the God of Love and Beauty.”
"Strange?"
The goddess of poison and disease smiled and shook her head: "No, you are wrong. I made this arrangement specially to welcome the arrival of Soth. It is his first time to come to my country, so I have to leave him
A good impression."
"Are you sure he can really get the few priesthoods I want from Jaeger?"
Lovita's high-heeled leather boots made a crisp sound when she stepped on the black and white marble floor. The tight leather jacket on her body perfectly showed off her uneven curves, and her eyes shone with naked and undisguised greed and desire.
"I don't know. But I believe he will definitely bring me a huge surprise, just like the previous times. In addition, I hope you'd better prepare a large enough return gift, otherwise I will be angry."
Talona glared at this good sister who had only been subordinate to her for a short time with a warning look.
"You don't have to worry about this at all. Even if you just bring back any one of the priesthoods, I will give him enough reward. Because the value of the priesthood is far more important than anything else."
Saying that, Lovita picked up the nine-tailed whip that was full of thorns and barbs in her hand, and whipped it hard towards her smooth and white back.
Snap!!!
Along with the crisp sound, she suddenly let out a painful growl from her mouth.
The low growl quickly turned into a moan that aroused endless reverie, and at the same time, an expression of enjoyment and satisfaction appeared on his face.
From her priesthood, name and teachings, it is easy to see that this goddess is an out-and-out sadist and masochist.
In some areas where private life is chaotic and people have fun, the special skills mastered by her pastors and believers are deeply loved by nobles, wealthy businessmen and other upper-class people.
Some people are even willing to spend hundreds of gold coins just to have Lovita's followers beat themselves up hard during intense exercise in order to get more extra stimulation and pleasure.
But soon, the bruises on the tortured goddess’s back that had been beaten to the point of bruises were completely healed, without even a drop of divine blood remaining, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
Talona had obviously long been accustomed to Lauvita's self-abuse behavior, and asked in a casual tone: "What do you think of the return of Bane, the god of tyranny, and the rise of the new god of death?"
"The rise of the new Death God Klanvor, no need to ask, it must be Jaeger's fault.
He is the ancient god of death, and his understanding of death far exceeds that of any other god.
However, the relationship between Kelanvor and the goddess of magic Midnight when they were still mortals may lead to the formation of a new alliance in a short period of time.
But this doesn't have much impact on us. What we should worry about most is that madman Cyric.
In contrast, Bane's return is something closely related to us.
Because in the field of clergy, I and the God of Tyranny are complementary.
I think we might consider forming an alliance with him."
Lovita spoke her mind directly.
Since the priesthoods of Baal, Bane and Melkor all originated from the ancient god of death, Jaeger, they recognized each other's philosophical views and teachings very much, and formed a secret alliance.
For a long time, all the gods who joined this alliance were called the "Dark Gods".
As the god of Baal, Lovita naturally has a good impression of Bane, who has similar values and philosophy.
If it were in the past, the goddess of poison and disease would obviously come to the same conclusion as the goddess of abuse.
