This is a place where the environment is extremely harsh and life is extremely dangerous.
This is a place of endless killing without any moral ethics.
This is an evil place where there is no friendship, family affection, or love, only betrayal, killing, and destruction.
This is the abyss.
As one of the most famous and terrifying lower planes in the Toril universe, it is home to demons dedicated to death and destruction.
There are many powerful beings in the Abyss, including the famous "Demon Lord" Demogorgon, "Lord of Darkness" Graz'zt, and "Mother of Demons" Cang Ye.
There are also some evil gods living here, such as the Great Matron (god of beholders), Gruumsh (god of orcs), Hrugok (god of bugbears), and many other gods of evil alignments, including the well-known
Spider Queen Rose.
However, even in such a bloody and chaotic bottomless abyss with so many strong men, few people can kill a demon lord instantly.
But "Demon Lord" Sauron did it.
Twelve jet-black wings like fallen angels spread out, and with one "Doomsday Judgment", the Gray Tower and the Abyss Lord Melzina were blasted into pieces.
His powerful and unrivaled dark power made tens of thousands of demons around him tremble and crawl at his feet.
The coach was dead, and the enemy troops immediately surrendered. Even several legendary Balor Balrogs put down their fire whips and knelt on the ground.
"Praise you, the incarnation of darkness, the source of evil, the most powerful and wisest king among demons, the devil Sauron!"
Tens of thousands of demon-hunting spiders, Boda zombies, demon-hunting spiders, various undead creatures, renegade devils, and even twisted divine monsters crawled on the ground to offer their blessings to their new king.
The rules of the Abyss are simple and crude.
No one knows the origin of Demon Lord Sauron, but after he killed Abyss Lord Melzina, he automatically became one of the lords on the 132nd floor.
Demon Lord Sauron stood alone on a high slope, surrounded by six black hole-like whirlpools.
"Buzz buzz..."
The dark vortex slowly rotated, tearing apart the space, creating a terrifying devouring force. Wisps of pale soul light fragments and scarlet blood essence flew out from the demon corpses and were swallowed up.
The corpses shriveled up quickly and turned into powder, and the ground where blood flowed was quickly dried up.
I saw endless scarlet blood threads and pale soul fire turn into a huge torrent and sweep across dozens of kilometers of battlefield, rushing towards the high slope, completely submerging it.
Red and white light intertwined, the black hole swirled and swayed, and the figure of the Demon Lord Sauron on the high slope could not be seen clearly, but the pressure he exuded became more and more terrifying.
The living demons looked at this scene with a little fear.
Killing each other and devouring the souls and flesh of the same kind is commonplace in the bottomless abyss and is not surprising.
But it is very rare to have such a big appetite.
Most demon lords don't dare to devour the flesh, blood and souls of their own kind like this. They can't digest it at all and can easily lose control of themselves.
But Sauron is different, he is like a glutton with an infinite appetite.
Half an hour later, everything was calm.
At this time, Sauron's demonic body has changed. The dark golden scales form a strong armor. The mysterious patterns on his forehead are full of nobility. The twelve huge wings are layered wings like black swans. Not only are they not evil.
Depravity also gives people an unparalleled sense of beauty.
But his eyes were still silver-white, which was a very rare color in the abyss.
When the demons saw this situation, they all lowered their heads, with a mixture of awe and fear in their eyes.
The boss's power becomes stronger.
His eyes are like a god, his body is like a devil, light and darkness are one, unfathomable.
This god-like and demonic appearance and life aura are obviously very contradictory, but they are perfectly integrated into one, giving people a feeling of divine power and terror.
"Da da da……"
The combat boots made a crisp sound when they stepped on the ground.
A tall woman with thick hair wearing a revealing red battle suit that only barely covered her plump breasts walked up to the slope and said:
"Your Majesty, Blood Flame Lord Merzina has been killed by you, what are you going to do next?"
This woman is a legendary level succubus named Yanis, nicknamed the "Red Princess".
Two months ago, the Demon Lord suddenly came to the 132nd floor of the abyss and subdued a group of strong men, including her.
"How was the harvest this time?"
Demon Lord Sauron retracted his dark wings, stood with his hands behind his back, and said indifferently.
"Your Majesty, the Demon Lord, we have roughly calculated that based on the territory we captured and the wealth in the castle, we are enough to arm hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers."
Enchantress Yanis said respectfully.
Originally she was calling Master, but at this time, she had automatically changed the title to Your Majesty. In her opinion, the Demon Lord Sauron at this time was already an out-and-out king, an abyss with almost unlimited future.
Lord.
"Can our warriors still fight?" the Demon Lord asked.
"this--"
Enchantress Yanis looked a little hesitant and pursed her red lips, "Your Majesty Sauron, we have suffered a lot of losses this time. If we continue to wage war against other lords, we will easily expose our flaws."
The 132nd level of the Bottomless Abyss is not as famous as the Saltwater Swamp, the Kingdom of Thousand Eyes, the Frozen Wilderness, and the Demonic Hell, and it has never had a supreme ruler.
Even so, there are currently four lords and dozens of high-level demon nobles vying for control of this plane.
Among them, "Blood Flame Lord" Melzina has just been killed by the Demon Lord, but there are still many competitors. Once he becomes too powerful, he will easily be besieged.
At this time, a Balrog also took a few steps forward.
He has burning yellow eyes and a mane that burns with fire and vaporizes. He is tall, has long and powerful arms, and has demon wings on his back.
The flame demon knelt on one knee and said angrily:
"Your Majesty, Melzina is only the weakest lord on this level. Otto the Hammer, Mad King Viais, and Nightmare Banshee Amelia are all difficult to deal with. We should rest for a while and recruit troops. We will not fight again.
"
"Nightmare...Amelia?"
Demon Lord Sauron felt a wave of excitement in his eyes when he heard this very familiar nickname.
Enchantress Yanis suddenly sneered and said:
"That old woman is the most powerful lord on this level, but it's nothing special. She just inherited her master's name and territory."
"Owner?"
"Well, it is said that Amelia's previous master's name was also called Nightmare Banshee. That female demon almost became the sole ruler of the 132nd floor, but she accidentally disappeared during the end battle."
"..."
Is this her hometown?
Demon Lord Sauron was silent for a moment, waved his hand and said:
"Let the army rest where it is, Yanis. You are responsible for counting the loot and recruiting troops... In addition, build a devil's castle at the foot of the mountain over there as our base camp."
"My subordinate understands!"
Enchantress Yanis licked her delicate red lips and nodded vigorously.
She enjoyed the feeling of holding power very much. Although she was almost killed by the Demon Lord at first, after surrendering, her life was not bad.
She began to direct a group of demons to work.
With the power of many people, tens of thousands of demons worked together to drive some alchemical golems, and built a magnificent new castle on the ruins in just ten days.
Although this castle looks very ordinary and not beautiful, it is strong and thick.
After the Demon Lord used the power of the Dark Word, the castle became part of the 132-layer abyss, connected to the dark origin of the plane.
He also carved countless evil demonic symbols and dark sacred texts into every stone of the castle to strengthen the castle's defense.
In the hall of the castle, the Iron Throne was placed.
Behind the throne is an altar. This altar is directly connected to the core of chaos, the evil abyss and the negative energy pool. Therefore, with the help of this altar, the demon lord can get considerable help.
A month later, an abyss castle that met the requirements both in essence and appearance was built.
With the base camp in hand, the demons surrendered willingly.
In the third month, the demon king Sauron launched another war.
This time his target is the "Mad King" Viais, a tanar'ri demon who is said to have been a human king before his soul fell into the abyss.
There are many races of demons, and different abyssal planes often have different unique demons. Their body structures are completely different, and they also have different abilities. However, most of them have hand-to-hand combat abilities that surpass those of humans, and can use various spells.
The tanar'ri demons are the undisputed masters of the Abyss.
Evil souls, no matter what kind of creature they were before, may transform into this kind of demon.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Go, go, go! Oh oh oh oh oh -"
Two demonic armies were fighting in the wilderness and mountains, with loud shouts of killing, flashing sword shadows, poisonous smoke, storms, fireballs, and ice arrows flying around.
Demons screamed and fell down every moment, and the ground was stained red with blood, which was extremely bloody.
Sauron spread his black wings and stood high in the sky, overlooking the battlefield ahead.
There, hundreds of high-level demon elites under his command were risking their lives to attack a huge abyss castle. Enchantress Yanis and several legendary Balrogs were also among them.
However, their attack was still blocked.
Mad King Viais wore heavy black armor and a lich iron helmet, with one eye glowing with blood. He held a ferocious skull-crushing hammer and led his soldiers to guard the castle.
His soldiers are all middle-to-high-level demon nobles, including death knights, Balor Balrogs, and even a dozen huge bone dragons.
A door of the castle opened, and bone dragons flew out one after another.
The bone dragon does not look huge, only twelve meters long, but the dark eye sockets of the skeleton are shining with eyes as bright as the cold moon, and there are densely packed spells on their white bones.
boom!!
Mad King Viais also personally participated in the battle. He was covered in a terrifying black light, swung the skull-crushing iron hammer, shattered the void with one hammer, smashed the legs of a legendary wolf spider on the city wall, and killed it, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.
!
He was covered in blood, like a ghost, roaring:
"Sauron, you are seeking your own death! You have already become a lord and you dare to continue to wage war, hoping to become the only ruler here. All the strong men on this level will not let you go!!"
Demon Lord Sauron's silver-white eyes contained no emotion, and he said coldly and ruthlessly:
"Surrender or die!"
"Fuck you! Who the hell do you think you are? I#¥%々#/%..."
Mad King Viais was so angry that he immediately spat out fragrance and greeted the devil's family.
Sauron's face suddenly turned cold, and his twelve black wings immediately released a stream of thunder that penetrated the heaven and earth, and opened it up:
"Storm of Heaven's Punishment!"
The dark power turned into a gray tornado with flashing lightning, falling from the sky and hitting the castle.
“Bang!!”
Engraved with demonic runes, the extremely solid castle was blasted with a large hole by the Storm Spear, and the destructive lightning flashed like dragons and snakes, electrocuting a large number of guards.
Some of the broken stones were still flashing with symbols, but Demon Lord Sauron had ignored them, spread his wings and galloped in, rushing in instantly.
"Boom boom boom!"
The finger of death, the flaming whip, the howl of the banshee... In an instant, dozens of spells were frantically attacking the Demon Lord Sauron in the hall.
The Demon Lord's face was calm, and he spread his black wings. Suddenly, an invisible ripple radiated across the entire hall.
The movements of all mid-level and high-level demons stopped, and even the spells were stagnant and solidified.
"The Law of Time!"
A powerful demon was struggling, it was Mad King Viais. He roared silently, and the surrounding realm began to show signs of fragmentation.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Sauron flew over and pressed his head with a palm, and his consciousness fell into darkness.
"Bang!"
The body of Mad King Viais exploded to pieces, and the powerful and evil soul and vital blood essence were sucked dry by the palm of Demon King Sauron in an instant, and turned into ashes and scattered.
"At the end of the killing, everything will be destroyed, and darkness is the destination of all souls."
Demon Lord Sauron once again spoke the words of darkness. This taboo language was born from the dark origin and law of destruction of the multidimensional crystal wall system itself, and is full of terrifying power.
Just saying one word can bring destruction, terror and despair.
Bang bang bang!
The bodies of the high-level demons in the castle were blown to pieces, and blood spattered on the spot! Even the legendary bone dragons and balrogs were not immune. For a moment, blood-colored fireworks bloomed, beautiful and terrifying.
Wisps of blood wandered, and white soul fire fluttered.
Six black hole vortexes emerged behind the demon king. The golden light and black light inside the vortex intertwined and rotated, forming a yin and yang fish eye, a Tai Chi god and demon diagram, swallowing up all the soul fire energy and blood essence.
The power of the dark divine word continued to spread outward, radiating over half of the battlefield. Demons continued to fall, their heads or hearts exploded, and the ground was dyed red with blood.
Then their bodies turned into dust, leaving behind relics like dark red crystals, which were the crystallization of all their vitality and souls.
The hostile demons were finally frightened.
The castle is broken, the lord is dead, and the power of the dark divine words carries the terrifying power of life and death.
They did not resist for long and all knelt down.
"I would like to surrender to you, the great conqueror, the embodiment of destruction and death, the supreme king, the dark lord Sauron!"
The demons who originally belonged to the Mad King all knelt down and shouted the name of the Dark Lord, choosing to surrender.
Another pit lord's reign has faded away.
Demon Lord Sauron's actions and powerful power finally aroused everyone's fear.
Soon, "Hammer" Otto and "Nightmare Banshee" Amelia, the two remaining abyss lords, united dozens of high-ranking demon nobles to form a coalition to prepare for the crusade against the Dark Lord.
Even some lords from other abyssal planes also paid attention.
The bottomless abyss reflects the collection of all the ugliness, evil and chaos in the world through infinite levels and countless changes.
Traditional knowledge believes that there are 666 layers in the Abyss, but the real number of layers may be far more than this.
However, most layers do not actually have an absolute ruler.
The behavior of the Demon King Sauron has violated a taboo.
