Chapter 376 The deal between the dragon and the devil
Avernus Hell, the first level of the Nine Hells.
The ground here is full of scorched marks and gravel, stretching as far as the eye can see.
The sky was filled with blood-red light, and fireballs exploded out of thin air from time to time.
The stream flowing with blood meanders and extends, finally converging into the main stream of the Styx.
On the surface of Avernus Hell, bare hills and peaks are criss-crossed, like the fangs of the devil, breaking the monotonous scenery here. Evil crows with flaming feathers make noisy and hoarse calls, whirling under the dark red sky. , there are little devils of different shapes running around on the desolate surface, each one exuding an evil aura.
In a burst of divine light, God Gallon descended here.
God Galen raised his head and looked far into the distance, taking in all the scenery here.
Because this is not the first time, the scene of Avernus Hell is not surprising to God Garon. At this time, God Garon is staring at the blood-red light, standing near a desolate land. Bronze fortress.
The magnificent bronze fortress covers an extremely vast area.
Here stands a continuous city wall hundreds of feet high, completely enveloping the bronze fortress. And it is not just one. There are twelve multi-layered walls with a concentric ring structure. The color of the bronze of hell is the same as the blood of Avernus Hell. The light is intertwined, revealing an indestructible texture.
The city walls are covered with terrifying thorns, torch beacons burning with blazing hellfire, and various heavy artillery and crossbows exuding the power of hell.
Devil soldiers wearing armor were located on the city wall, heavily guarded, looking in all directions with scarlet eyes.
Moreover, even though this place seemed to be impregnable, God Gallon still saw countless hell souls, lemures, little devils and other hell creatures building the outer city walls under the urging of the devil overseers.
Amidst the rumbling sounds and endless smoke and dust, the defenses here are being expanded.
After capturing the first generation Iron Dragon King, Garen came to Avernus Hell for the first time, and the greatest threat he felt came from the depths of the Bronze Fortress.
The Bronze Fortress can be said to be very close to the Five Color Divine Kingdom of the Immortal Dragon Queen.
When God Garon saw the bronze fortress, he could also feel the five-color divine and exotic space that was only tens of kilometers away from here.
According to the Dragon Queen, he has a good relationship with the devil lord in the Bronze Fortress. After all, they are both in Avernus Hell and have frequent contacts.
The devil lord in the Bronze Fortress is also the first lord of Avernus Hell.
This first lord controls the endless demons here and is named Bayer.
God Jialong has heard about it for a long time.
As the devil lord, Bayer has quasi-divine power, but God Galen is not clear about the specific level of Bayer's quasi-divine power.
However, this devil lord's strength will not be weak.
Because the Avernus Hell, as the first level of the Nine Hells, and the Abyss Plain, the first level of the Abyss, are the main theaters of bloody battles. Abyssal demon armies often attack the Avernus Hell. Assault on the Bronze Fortress.
This is why the Bronze Fortress defenses are constantly being reinforced and built.
Because he controls the first level of hell where there are constant disputes, Bayer is an out-and-out blood war devil, a blood war general who belongs to hell, and has an affair with Pazuzu, the demon lord of the first level of the abyss and a blood war general who belongs to the abyss. Thousands of fights.
After carefully reviewing all the records about Bayer in his mind, God Garon waved his dragon wings.
Wrapped in the divine radiance, the silver dragon turned into a streak of light and flew towards the bronze fortress with great power.
Before the dragon arrives, the strong wind arrives first.
Longwei and Shenwei arrived at the same time and rushed past.
The devil guards on the twelve-ring city wall noticed the raging storm brought by the giant dragon. At the same time, they looked up at the sky. When they saw the vast and brilliant divine light, their pupils froze, and their scarlet eyes were dyed.
He looked on guard.
"Prepare for war!"
In an instant, the thick power of hell rose and rolled around the bronze fortress, like boiling water. With evil and destructive power, the devil guards with powerful auras were ready to attack.
God Gallon is not here to cause trouble.
The power he just released was not malicious, it was just announcing his arrival, otherwise a large number of low-level devils would have died suddenly on the spot.
After seeing the devil guards waiting in full formation, the silver dragon stopped in front of the bronze fortress and looked at the strong and rough fortress in the airspace above.
The devil's society has a strict order and a clear hierarchy.
Before receiving the order from the lord, the Devil Guards did not launch an attack on God Gallon, although they were well prepared.
Realizing that God Garon is a god, and without the opponent taking the lead in attacking, the Devil Guards will naturally not incur strong enemies for the Bronze Fortress without any reason. They need to ask the lord for instructions.
At the same time as God Gallon paused.
All the devil guards seemed to have received some kind of order, and the boiling power of hell quickly calmed down. The devil guards also put away their weapons and no longer stared at God Gallon with wary eyes, but were as vigilant as before.
Looking in all directions of hell.
God Garon was bathed in the blood-red light and heard the deep voice of the Devil Archduke.
"The Dragon of Eternity and Time, the Time Dragon God of the Dragon God family, Avernus Hell welcomes you. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
call!
A cluster of dark red flames condensed into the outline of the devil, guiding the god Garon across the twelve city walls.
Because devils usually stay in humanoid form, God Galen, as a guest, took the initiative to shrink his body into the size of a young dragon and entered the interior of the bronze fortress.
Under the leadership of the devil's shadow, God Gallon passed through the gates guarded by the devil, passed through the dark passages, and finally arrived at the lord's hall deep in the fortress.
At this point, the shadow formed by the dark red flame disappeared.
God Galen looked around, sizing up the Devil's Hall deep in the fortress.
The ground here is full of cracks, and there is a dark red light inside. You can vaguely see the rolling lava below, and the wails of the dead can be heard all the time, reaching the ears of God Garon.
There are torches set up on the surrounding walls.
In the blazing blue flames, you can see the twisted and rolling faces of countless creatures, as if the souls of the creatures are used as fuel.
Finally, my eyes wandered upward along the steps formed by stacked layers of skulls.
The Skeleton Throne burning with dark red flames stands high.
A tall devil wearing heavy black armor looked into the eyes of the god Gallon surrounded by flames.
God Garon's body glowed with a subtle brilliance, and the dragon's body gradually grew in size, until it reached a height of nearly twenty meters, eye level with the devil on the throne.
The devil reflected in the eyes of God Garon is none other than the first lord of the Nine Hells, Archduke Bayer.
A tail with barbs and scales, a pair of winding devil's horns, converged on the back, huge wings that look like bat wings, somewhat similar to dragon wings, and layers of dark red covering the surface of the skin.
scale armor
The muscles under the dark red scales are bulging and very strong, and between the gaps in the scales, there is a dark light like lava that flickers on and off.
The fusion of these characteristics demonstrates the type of devil to which Archduke Bayer belongs.
Demon of Hell.
High-level devils will only be born from the ninth hell of Nessus, the lowest level of the nine hells.
Every hell fiend possesses at least legendary strength, and there are quasi-divine powers everywhere. They are the mainstay of hell, the leaders of the bloody army, and the capable generals of the devil lords. Even the devil lords are mostly pit demons.
Refining the devil.
The Eight Demon Generals of Hell, who became famous in the bloody war and killed countless demons, were all Hell Fiends.
It is said that the Hell Demon is a masterpiece created by the Lord of the Nine Hells using hellfire and hell matter.
This kind of devil therefore controls the fire of hell that can burn all things, has extremely strong destructive power and combat effectiveness, and is loyal to the Lord of Nine Hells. As the first lord, Bayer only obeys the orders of the Lord of Nine Hells.
.
"My instincts honed in bloody wars tell me that you are extremely dangerous."
"The dragon of eternity and time that caused the fall of a moderately powerful god truly deserves his reputation."
The devil lord's voice is relatively deep and possesses a strange power that makes people unable to help but believe in it.
Ordinary devils also have this ability.
Commonly known as the devil's voice or devil's whisper.
It is perfectly normal for an ordinary creature with a weak will to lose its free mind under the whispers of the devil and sign a contract to sell its soul in a daze.
The devil lord's voice paused for a moment, then he grinned and revealed his fangs, showing a somewhat ferocious expression.
"Moreover, as a god from Heaven Mountain, you dare to descend to hell in your true body. I admire your courage."
"You don't know the relationship between my hell and heaven mountain."
The upper plane of Heaven Mountain and the lower plane of Nine Hells are actually opposites.
Ordinary gods from Heaven Mountain would never dare to descend into hell in their true form.
Those who dare to descend to hell in their true form must have strong confidence.
"Why, does Grand Duke Bayer have any ill intentions towards me?"
God Galen said calmly without any hurry or delay.
The devil lord's scarlet eyes stared at the god Gallon. After a moment of silence, he suddenly burst into laughter and said: "I have a good relationship with the Dragon Queen. With the Dragon Queen's guarantee, I believe you are Avernus Hell."
guests."
God Gallon's face remained unchanged, his platinum dragon eyes looked at each other and the devil lord grinned.
"Of course, although I am in Heaven Mountain now, I have only just come close to establishing the Kingdom of God in Hell."
Just now, Shen Jialong keenly felt a bit of malice.
The devil lord in front of him had some thoughts about him, but due to the strength of the Dragon God system and the confidence shown by God Garen, he did not dare to take action.
Even the Demon Prince returned defeated, and it is said that he is still hiding in his fortress to recover from his injuries.
No matter how much the devil lord covets the power of the Time Dragon, he would not dare to do it at will.
Even in hell, in your own territory.
Hell devils are generally a lawful camp. Although devils are evil in nature, they are evil in a planned and orderly manner, unlike those madmen who are chaotic and do things without considering the consequences.
Moreover, Hell is actually much less dangerous than the Abyss, and its overall strength is not as good as the Abyss.
This is also easy to understand.
On one side are the nine confirmed planes, and on the other side are the endless planes that even the Abyss Demon himself cannot understand.
The reason why Hell can compete with the Abyss in bloody wars, and the fights are back and forth, is entirely because the demons of the Abyss are too chaotic and do not have a unified will. The demon lords are constantly fighting among themselves and are in endless divisions.
Hell is led by the supreme devil, the Lord of Nine Hells, and all demon lords obey the orders of the Lord of Nine Hells who lives in the Hell of Nassus.
There has always been a prophecy legend in the Abyss.
When a demon prince defeats other princes and becomes the only demon king, after integrating the abyss.
Under the demon army led by the king, the endless plane world in the multiverse will usher in its final doom, and all planes will be swallowed by the bottomless abyss, becoming the only abyss.
"I feel very sorry that we had the opportunity to be close neighbors."
After hearing what God Garon said, the devil lord sighed, as if he really felt sorry for it.
Immediately, Shen Jialong got straight to the point and said: "Grand Duke Bayer, you should already know the purpose of my trip."
"I have an endless army that is not afraid of death. I intend to respond to hell's call and become the bloody army of hell."
The bloody war recruitment in hell has never stopped since the bloody war began.
Any creature can respond to the call from Hell, participate in the bloody war as the Hell Blood Army, gain military merit by killing the Demon Blood Army, and then exchange for various rewards from the devil.
Of course, if you want to just work for one job and leave as soon as you earn it, there is no such good thing.
Only after a certain amount of military merit has been accumulated can one escape from the bloody war.
Ninety-nine percent of all alien creatures died on the way to accumulating military merit, and the rewards obtained from the devil were ultimately left in hell.
Abyss also has a similar Abyss Draft.
However, foreign creatures rarely choose to become the Blood Army of the Abyss. This is due to the unpredictable chaotic evil character of demons. No creature wants to deal with a madman, and this madman also possesses tyrannical power.
In comparison, the devil's reputation is much better.
There are very few alien creatures who can survive the bloody war and get enough military merit to escape. But those who succeed will, without exception, become well-known noble lords after leaving hell, and gain wealth, power, and glory.
And hell treats these successful people very well.
They can even hire devils to be their bodyguards at huge discounts to guard everything they earn.
"Endless?"
The devil lord said in a questioning tone.
God Galen nodded and repeated, "Infinite."
Mechanical soldiers are not like flesh and blood beings, they are dead when they die.
The damaged mechanical soldiers, as long as they are not so severe that not even slag is left, can be rebuilt and remade brand new, and continue to rush to the battlefield.
"What creatures does your army consist of?"
"Metal structure."
Construct, this is the most common name for creatures like mechanical soldiers.
Metals, rocks, and trees all have corresponding structures, but most of them are produced by magic. Under normal circumstances, the scale and quality are far from being comparable to those created by the Mechanical God.
"Interesting, there are no metal structures in the Hell Blood Army yet."
"They are not flesh-and-blood creatures and can more easily resist the erosion of the power of the abyss. Your army is more suitable for carrying out missions at the abyss home field. However, the metal structure has low intelligence and cannot carry out missions independently. It is estimated that it can only be used as cannon fodder."
Bayer was thoughtful and evaluated the army composed of machines.
God Gallon shook his head and said: "My mechanical army is different from ordinary metal structures and has sufficient intelligence."
"oh?"
"In this case, the value of this army will be even greater."
Bayer's eyes moved slightly and he said.
Immediately, the devil lord's expression became solemn, and he asked God Gallon various questions carefully.
As a devil and a bloody war general, Bayer is very serious about matters related to bloody wars.
Any devil lord who has the opportunity to obtain a powerful bloody army to fight against the abyss will take it seriously, and will rarely engage in conspiracies. Because of the importance of bloody battles, the devils attach great importance to their reputation.
After a while, the question and answer between the devil lord and the god Gallon ended.
After learning more about the size and characteristics of God Garon's army, Bayer became more cautious.
A bloody battle army of this size is no child's play.
After thinking carefully for a moment, the devil lord said: "You can participate in the bloody battle on behalf of Avernus Hell. In return, I will directly give you a large hell mine as a deposit."
"After that, every time your army kills a demon and captures a demon fortress, the corresponding military merit will be recorded."
"Different types and levels of demons, and demon fortresses of different sizes, correspond to different military merits. There will be specific descriptions on the military merit table."
"You can use your military merits in exchange for treasures, equipment, territory, whatever the devil has in hell, it has a clear price tag, and you can exchange it for it."
After a pause, the devil lord said in a deep voice: "If your military merit is sufficient, you can even ask the great Lord of the Nine Hells to personally take action for you. Of course, this will be an astronomical sum."
After listening to the devil lord's story, Shen Jialong narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "In addition to these basic contract contents, I have several conditions."
Hearing this, the devil lord said: "In hell, you need to show your strength first and obtain enough military merit before you can negotiate terms."
God Garon smiled and said: "Grand Duke Bayer, I think if I participate in the bloody battle on behalf of Avernus and achieve enough results, you, as the first lord, will also benefit from it."
The devil lord was silent.
What God Gallon said is true.
According to the total military merit ranking of each level of hell, the Lord of the Nine Hells will give corresponding rewards to the lord, so the devil lord is also very interested in bloody wars.
"I am currently in the Bronze Fortress of Avernus Hell, but I can also go to the Sunken City in Minauros Hell and the Black Mist Tower towering in Dis Hell."
What God Gallon means is that he can make bloody war contracts with other devil lords.
"The reason why I came to Avernus Hell for the first time is because the Dragon Queen introduced you to me."
"I come here with sincerity."
"But if you don't have enough sincerity, I think I can only go to the level outside Avernus Hell to discuss a blood war contract with other devil lords."
Although the devil is an expert negotiator, the initiative lies with the god Garen who holds the army.
Under the indifferent gaze of God Galen, the devil lord relaxed and said, "Tell me, what are your conditions?"
Shen Jialong said: "Three large hell veins are used as deposits. At the same time, I want to designate to participate in the bloody battle area of the Abyss Plains located on the first level of the abyss."
"The demon fortress and territory captured by my army belong to me personally."
"In the end, my military merits will be doubled."
The devil lord stood up in the flames and said in a deep voice: "I can agree to the first two conditions."
"But don't you think the third and fourth conditions are too much?"
It had an angry look on its face, as if God Gallon's conditions had violated its own bottom line and it was unable to agree.
Shen Jialong took a step back and said: "Let's do this. In order to express my sincerity in cooperating with you, pretend that I didn't say the fourth condition."
The Devil Archduke shook his head, showing an expression that said there was no room for negotiation, and said seriously: "Since you represent Avernus Hell, the territory you conquer also belongs to Avernus Hell. I can't help you with your third condition either.
accept."
God Gallon was silent for a while.
"Grand Duke Bayer, unfortunately, it seems that we can no longer be partners."
After saying that, God Garon's body became illusory and he was about to leave the Bronze Fortress.
The devil lord with a serious expression watched calmly, also unmoved.
Until the end, when the figure of God Gallon was about to disappear completely, the devil lord's solemn expression turned helpless and said: "Wait a minute."
On its face, the anger and seriousness previously shown disappeared at the same time.
"It's really hard to take advantage of you real dragons."
"hateful!"
God Gallon's third condition is not impossible to agree to.
The territories and fortresses built in the abyss are difficult to hold firmly. Even if Bayer gets it, it will not be of much benefit to it. If it is a territorial fortress in the bloody battlefield of hell, it is another matter.
If it were the territory of hell, the devil lord would not agree to God Gallon's conditions no matter what.
God Garen came prepared, knowing that the devil lord would definitely agree.
The devil lord cursed and complained for a while, and finally said to God Garen: "I agree to your conditions."
"Three mineral veins, designated Wanyuan Plain war zone, belong to your personal captured territory."
afterwards.
The devil lord's face became solemn again, and he whispered: "With the witness of the Lord of the Nine Hells, the witness of the Styx, and the witness of all the devils, I, the controller of Avernus Hell, the first lord
Devil Bayer, hereby makes a bloody contract."
call!
Along with the devil lord's whisper, a gray-white trickle came from the void and turned into the shape of a paper page. At the same time, clusters of hellfire ignited, twisted and folded, and turned into gilded words on the paper page.
Immediately, the bloody contract floated towards the god Gallon.
God Gallon carefully reviewed all the contents of the Blood War Contract.
After making sure that there were no omissions and no hidden tricks, Shen Jialong grinned at the Devil Archduke and said, "Happy cooperation."
The devil lord's expression didn't look so happy.
Overall, the cooperation with the god Gallon was a good thing, but the concession in the contract made Bayer, a devil, as uncomfortable as being pricked by an angel's feathers.
A touch of extraordinary divine power turned into a holy emblem belonging to the god Gallon, and was printed on the bloody battle contract.
At the same time, in the metal world located in the main material world, the engines of each mechanical soldier were turned on, and blue energy circuits appeared on the surface of the body. Endless buzzing sounds gathered together, like the waves of a mountain roaring and a tsunami.
