422 The small conditions that make the heart tangled after chaos
"After Chaos, you really found a way to communicate with me."
After receiving the message from the Purgatory Dragon, the silver dragon's eyes moved slightly and he thought silently in his heart.
More than half a year has passed since the encounter between the Gods of Order and Demons in the Howling Abyss, and Miska the Wolf Spider escaped from trouble. Miska the Wolf Spider's strength has yet to fully recover. During repeated inspections, Queen Chaos discovered
identified the root of the problem.
There is no complete seven-section scepter.
All the holy light particles that had been integrated into the body of the Wolf Spider Miska could not be removed, causing the Wolf Spider Miska's strength to drop significantly. For any creature, one third of its attributes is not a small amount.
At this time, Miska the Wolf Spider is completely unable to participate in the battle for kingship of the Abyss Demon.
If it were normal times, it would be okay, and there would be enough time for the Queen of Chaos and her prince to find other ways to get rid of the Holy Light particles, but with the current chaotic situation in the lower plane, they must seize the time.
For the Bug King and Miska the Wolf Spider.
If you want to completely get rid of the name of the Demon Prince, now is the best opportunity to take another step forward.
However, the Wolf Spider Miska, who had lost one-third of his strength, was unable to compete with the King of Insects.
Although this demon prince had the assistance of the Queen of Chaos, the Worm King was the oldest Obiris demon and his reputation had greatly increased after defeating Demogorgon. At this time, most of the Obiris demon lords still existed in the abyss.
, are willing to support the King of Insects.
In fact, Queen of Chaos is also a powerful Obiris demon.
Her position in the abyss is awkward.
First of all, the Queen of Chaos is not a pure demon and was not born from the abyss.
She is an ancient existence in the Sea of Chaos. Later, for some unknown reason, she left the Sea of Chaos, settled in the Abyss, and became an Obiris demon who dominated the Abyss at that time.
However, she created the tanar'ri, the creator of the tanar'ri.
Since the Tanar'ri demons replaced the Obiris demons in the Abyss, many Obiris demon lords hated the Queen of Chaos, let alone were willing to support the Queen of Chaos.
After the defeat of the war between Order and Chaos, and the tanar'ri demon becoming the spokesperson of the Abyss, the Queen of Chaos' position in the Abyss was already in danger.
She lost the trust of the Obiris Demon.
Because he was once an Obiris demon, he was looked down upon by many Tanar'ri demons.
The Tanar'ri demons represent the ultimate evil in the Abyss. Most regard the Obiris demons as the cancer of the abyss that should be eliminated. In the minds of the Tanar'ri demons, only the Tanar'ri demons are the real demons.
The Belis Demon should have been abandoned by time long ago.
Only the nerubians who belong to the tanar'ri demons, and some tanar'ri demons who insist on recognizing Miska the wolf spider, are willing to follow the Queen of Chaos.
Therefore, Queen of Chaos couldn't wait to unblock Miska the Wolf Spider at any cost.
With the assistance of this first-generation demon prince, through the Wolf Spider's influence among the tanar'ri demons, and by gathering more demon lords, Chaos will have a chance to realize her ambitions.
but.
The premise of all this is based on the fact that Miska the Wolf Spider still possesses terrifying combat power that makes countless demons and gods fear it.
After the current chaos, it is impossible to unite with the Wolf Spider to recruit other demon lords.
It's more than that.
The worst-case scenario is that if other demon lords discover clues, especially the rising King of Insects, and discover the weakness of Wolf Spider Miska... After chaos, both Wolf Spider and Wolf Spider will fall into chaos.
A dangerous situation.
So when he discovered that about one-third of the Wolf Spider Miska's strength could not be recovered, Chaos immediately went crazy.
Later, she realized that the last piece of the scepter was missing.
Because he understood the nature of the dragon, Chaos didn't look for the Duke of Wind at all after Chaos. He directly captured a Dragon Court Infernal Dragon living in the abyss and forced the Infernal Dragon to deliver the message to Garen.
She knew that the last section of the scepter must have been taken away by Garen.
"Relax your mind and don't resist."
Garen closed his eyes and responded to the Infernal Dragon.
While speaking, among the three pairs of dragon horns on the head of the silver dragon, one pair of dragon horns formed by the Dragon Court contract burst out a wave of waves, directly piercing the plane barrier, leaving the Dragon Court, and accurately arriving at the bottomless abyss.
somewhere.
In an instant.
A ray of Garen's spirit entered the body of the Infernal Dragon, temporarily replacing the unlucky man's will and taking over its body.
When he opened his eyes again, the scene in Garen's field of vision had changed drastically.
Looking around, he saw dark red light, falling through the unimaginably majestic and unimaginably lush canopy of trees that could be said to cover the sky, reflecting the nearby space with a dark red color full of danger.
Rustle rustle.
Waves of hot wind carrying an evil aura blew by, making the leaves in the sky rustle.
Garen raised his head.
In the field of vision, the boundless tree crown blocks the sky, and all that can be seen is pale and sickly branches and leaves. Looking far into the distance, one can see a vaguely huge tree trunk that seems to reach straight into the sky, making it difficult to see the whole picture.
, surrounded by countless wailing souls, and many low-level demons scattered on the branches, praying devoutly as if they had lost their minds.
Turning his eyes, Garen saw twelve giant trees reaching into the sky, surrounding the world in a ring.
"This is the twelfth level of the bottomless abyss, the abyss level called the Twelve Trees."
Garen murmured softly.
"It seems that you have a certain understanding of the bottomless abyss."
A familiar sound, like a heavy stone falling to the ground, entered Garen's ears.
Following the sound, Garen lowered his head and looked.
Just on the purgatory dragon's wrist, which is covered with layers of deep purple dragon scales and has ferocious sharp dragon claws, a purple-red tentacle is slowly squirming. The purple-red tentacle cracks a gap, opens and closes like lips, and spits out
The sound after chaos.
At the moment when the Purgatory Dragon's demeanor changes,
After Chaos, he knew that the spiritual will of the 'Purgatory Dragon' at this time had been replaced.
The Lord of the Dragon Court whom she wanted to communicate with arrived as promised.
The purple-red tentacles loosened the restrained body of the Purgatory Dragon, and then more tentacles broke out of the ground, squirming, entangled, and densely gathered together, condensing into a figure that was about as tall as the Purgatory Dragon and had the outline of the Queen of Chaos.
Doppelgänger.
"So, do you know the origin of the Twelve Trees?"
Chaos Queen continued.
She did not directly tell her purpose of seeking communication with Garen, but instead raised such a question first.
Garen said calmly: "Of course it is, it is nothing more than the devil's deception and provocation to the gods."
The existence of the Twelve Trees is one of the important factors why the gods of the upper plane regard the tanar'ri demons as a serious problem.
In the period just after the war between Order and Chaos, in order to become the new master of the Abyss, conflicts broke out between the Tanar'ri demons and the Obiris demons again and again. The war between the two types of old and new demons caused countless conflicts.
The abyss is shaken at its bottom.
At the same time, it also attracted the attention of many gods.
During the war, the gods realized the potential of the newly born tanar'ri.
They have more types and numbers than the Obiris demons, and are more evil, crazier, more bloodthirsty, and more representative of the bottomless abyss.
A god from an upper plane watched uneasily and warily as the tanar'ri demons, who had been used as slaves and cannon fodder in the past, overthrew their masters step by step.
In that chaotic era, even gods from the orderly camp tried to settle in the abyss and play their own role in the bottomless abyss.
When the war between the Tanar'ri demons and the Obiris demons was in full swing.
Led by several powerful tanar'ri demon lords, they united with more tanar'ri demons and proposed a peace meeting with the gods in the upper planes, saying that the tanar'ri demons were not like the obiris demons, and had evil and chaotic hearts.
Deep down, with the yearning for peace, he is willing to live in harmony with the gods of order.
Because the tanar'ri demons were a product of the new era at that time.
No god can determine whether a tanar'ri demon is truly hopeless or has a chance to enter the Hall of Order.
If the peace conference can be successfully launched, then the bottomless abyss that has always troubled the gods of order will no longer be dangerous, and will have the opportunity to be transformed into a place of order step by step.
Faced with this huge opportunity.
The gods of order were shaken.
Twelve powerful astral apostles, as agents of the twelve gods of order, visited the Abyss to hold specific peace meetings with the tanar'ri demons.
This is a dangerous decision.
Because in the abyss, even the gods themselves cannot guarantee that they can escape unscathed.
Not to mention their messengers.
Turns out, it's a trap.
The gods bet wrong.
The Tanar'ri Demon is a more evil existence than the Obiris Demon. Deep in his heart is full of cruel desires. Where is the yearning for peace and order?
While crazily laughing at the stupidity of the Gods of Order.
The tanar'ri demons bound the gods' agents in the desolate abyss, imprisoned them inside twelve towering giant trees, and then performed evil rituals, using the lives of the astral apostles and the fury of the gods of order to plunge into the abyss.
The sacrifice resulted in a dimension filled with evil energy that was of great benefit to the tanar'ri demons.
This level is the Twelve Trees.
The birth of the Twelve Trees level allowed the Tanar'ri Demons, who had already gained an advantage, to take another step forward and completely turn their advantage into victory, defeating the former Obiris Demons and becoming the new spokesperson of the Abyss.
So far.
The Gods of Order view the Plane of the Twelve Trees as a disgrace.
These twelve evil giant trees standing in the bottomless abyss are the twelve big palm prints imprinted on the faces of the gods of order.
On the contrary, the newly born tanar'ri demons will come here in an endless stream to pay homage to the masterpieces of the crazy and evil tanar'ri demon predecessors.
Almost all tanar'ri in the entire multiverse know the power of the Twelve Trees, and perform evil rituals belonging to the devil in the shadow of the twelve trees, sacrificing flesh and soul to the giant demon tree in the hope of gaining greater power.
Countless sacrifices have made the Twelve Trees stronger and stronger, and now it has become one of the holy places for tanar'ri demons.
All tanar'ri demons respect the Twelve Trees, and public affront to this aspect is an insult to any demon.
"That's true, but deception itself is also a kind of power."
"Insidious, bloodthirsty, evil, and powerful...the tanar'ri demon is an outstanding creation that I will never be able to surpass."
The Queen of Chaos looked at a giant pale tree and said.
When she mentioned the tanar'ri demon, her tone was a little proud, but also a little regretful.
Garen raised his chin and asked curiously and sincerely: "How does it feel to be stabbed in the back by a creation that you are proud of? Can you tell me in detail?"
Although it is not as good as the giant god Annan who was killed by his eldest son in a direct surprise attack, the experience after Chaos is similar. Without the rebellion of the tanar'ri demons, the outcome of the war between Order and Chaos is hard to say.
At the very least, they won't lose so completely that the forces behind Chaos are almost in a state of collapse.
Upon hearing Garen's inquiry, the bloated body condensed by the tentacles squirmed violently.
If he could see the face of the Queen of Chaos clearly, Garen would definitely be able to see that her expression turned dark now.
"snort."
"Since you want to know, I hope you will be betrayed by your own creation one day."
The Queen of Chaos cursed and cursed Garen directly.
Galleons:............
We were having a good conversation, why did we suddenly fall out?
Without pursuing Chaos Hou further, he asked bluntly and said, "If your guess is correct, you came to me through the members of the Dragon Court for the last scepter."
Chaos was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "Since you already know my purpose, give me your price."
In terms of trading, dragons and devils are similar.
Most dragons love trading.
Gallon is no exception.
But the premise is that this transaction can bring enough benefits to yourself.
"Leave the initiative directly to me. It seems that you are ready to bleed a lot for the last scepter."
Garen grinned.
The scepter is with him, and the initiative is indeed in Garen's hand. However, after the chaos, he did not struggle at all, which made Garen feel a little boring.
Perhaps thinking of the price he had to pay, Queen of Chaos said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense and tell me your request first."
Garon asked strangely: "I have a question. Why do you think I would deal with a demon and the most dishonest creature in the multiverse?"
There was a pause.
Garen looked at a huge pale tree and said with some meaning: "I don't want to become a tree."
The origin of the Twelve Trees is the tanar'ri demon's deception of the gods.
As the creator of the tanar'ri demons, the Queen of Chaos is also not worthy of belief.
"Cowardly guy."
"You seem to be discriminating against our demonic beliefs!"
Queen of Chaos said dissatisfied.
Garen blinked innocently and said, "I need to correct what you said."
The Queen of Chaos had a bad expression and said: "What?"
"You should remove the word "seem". I can tell you accurately that when it comes to credit, I would rather believe in a wild dog than the devil."
Garen said seriously.
"Hmph, you damn guy."
Chaos Queen snorted heavily, but didn't refute much.
She herself also knew that demons were notorious and untrustworthy. Even as a demon, she knew it was best not to trust other demons.
At the same time, the Queen of Chaos looked at Garen and said solemnly: "I will swear by the River Styx that this transaction will be carried out under the witness of the River Styx. Are you satisfied?"
When mortals swear an oath, they will do so under the witness of the gods to ensure that the oath will not be violated.
Then here comes the problem.
When there is a contract between gods, what should be sworn to?
There are many answers, but the most widely known one is called the Styx Pact.
The Styx Contract is not a top-level contract that can be made casually.
Only immortal gods and quasi-divine powers can make a Styx contract. If any mortal wants to swear by the Styx, they will find that they cannot control their own voice at all and cannot speak out the contents of the contract. If they do not believe in evil and continue to
If you stop, you will even be swept away by the rampage of the Styx and die without a burial place.
Even for gods.
When a god uses the Stygian Pact, she better keep her word, as the penalties for breaking the Stygian Pact are dire.
If a god or a god-like force breaks the Styx Contract, he will be deprived of his godhood (god-like power) and will no longer be immortal. At the same time, he will become a member of the biological race that believes in or worships him the most. For example, if Chaos breaks the Styx after Chaos
Contract, she will lose her divine powers and become a spider demon. If the Lord of the Nine Hells breaks the Styx Contract, she will become the most numerous little devil in hell.
And this is just the beginning.
Those who violate the contract after being deprived of their power will be transported by the River Styx to a mysterious realm deep in the fourth level of hell.
The Fiery Abyss, which is said to be specially used to punish gods and quasi-divine powers, was imprisoned for another five thousand years.
The Fiery Abyss will keep the oathbreaker in a state of immortality. In addition to causing excruciating pain, it can also bite the strongest mind. When the oathbreaker's mind collapses, he will die directly.
The most terrifying thing is that for gods who can be resurrected through faith.
After breaking the Styx Oath, the priests of the Oathbreakers will lose all abilities, and there will be no way to contact the gods. The presence of the gods will become less and less. Under such circumstances, finally, when five thousand years have passed,
, this god will most likely be completely forgotten, with no possibility of resurrection.
As for why the Styx Contract is so powerful.
Even the top beings such as the Lord of the Nine Hells and the main god of the pantheon will not try to disobey... The most convincing statement circulating among the gods is the River Styx.
The contract is a creation created by the god Oou, specifically used to bind gods and divine-like powers.
There is also a theory that the Styx is older than the multiverse, its origin is difficult to trace, and it has unimaginable power. Even the god O'Ou is not immune to the punishment of breaking the Styx contract.
It is impossible to tell whether these statements are true or false.
However, the terrifying effectiveness of the Styx Contract has been confirmed by gods and quasi-god powers through their own demise.
The idea that no god above the gods can violate the Styx Contract itself also represents the powerful effectiveness of the Styx Contract.
Galen chuckled and said, "In this case, I believe you come here with integrity."
After a pause, Garen, who was wearing the body of a purgatory dragon, continued: "It's just that, in addition to the River Styx, I also require that I swear an oath under the witness of the river of time."
The long river of time also has the effect of witnessing the contract.
There are very few examples of swearing an oath using the River of Time, because for the vast majority of creatures, the River of Time will not respond at all, which means that only when creatures like the Time Dragon are involved can a contract oath be made with the River of Time.
Garen didn't know how effective the River of Time was, and whether it could compare to the Styx Contract.
But double insurance is better than one.
Moreover, the Queen of Chaos does not know the effectiveness of the contract of Time River, so she will definitely not act rashly.
"I have shown my sincerity, junior, don't go too far!"
The Queen of Chaos is not a good-tempered demon.
Under Garen's repeated demands, she began to get angry.
In response, Galen calmly said: "Since I don't want to, I won't force it."
The deep purple purgatory dragon closed its eyes slightly, Garen's will was about to leave.
"Wait, wait."
"Damn young man, let's make a double contract under the witness of the River Styx and the River of Time."
After the chaos, he still couldn't sit back and watch the Wolf Spider's strength decline, so he reluctantly tried to persuade him to stay.
"Say what you want."
After just finishing speaking, Chaos added: "I come here with sincerity. If you open your mouth like a lion and make unrealistic conditions, I don't necessarily have to ask for the last scepter."

Garen grinned and said, "I understand."
Before the Queen of Chaos came here, he had thought about whether he would trade with her and exchange the scepter for higher benefits if the Queen of Chaos came to find him.
There is no doubt that the true value of the scepter lies in its negative impact on the tarantula and its desire after chaos.
To other powerful beings, the scepter itself has no value. If it is only used as a collection, its value will be greatly reduced. It is better to exchange the scepter for something better.
Moreover... Based on the current situation in the Abyss, Garen is more inclined to give the scepter to the Queen of Chaos.
Nowadays, the King of Insects' family is the only one with great arrogance.
This is not good news.
In any case, if a demon king were to be born, it would be something that any non-demon creature would not want to see.
As Miska the Wolf Spider and the King of Insects compete against each other, Demogorgon is also able to use every opportunity to contain the battle between the two heyday demon princes.
This will form a triangular equilibrium situation that is difficult to break.
If there is no accident, the three demon princes will not be able to determine the final outcome and win the battle to become king of the abyss in another hundred thousand million years.
"Treasure, territory, artifact, succubus......Tell me, what do you want?"
"Even if you are the Lord of Shadow Shoals, I can give it to you."
The Queen of Chaos knew that the dragon held a grudge and sold the Lord of Shadow Shoals without hesitation.
Garen shook his head, then smiled slightly and said: "How can these vulgar things be comparable to one-third of the power of a demon prince? Moreover, I will solve the problem myself as the Lord of Shadow Shoals."
At the same time, he expressed his request to the Queen of Chaos.
"What I want is..."
The dragon's whisper reached the ears of the Queen of Chaos and was not known to outsiders.
After listening to Galleon's transaction conditions, the tentacles of the Queen of Chaos were tangled together, and they hesitated and struggled for a long time.
A few minutes later, she said in an irritable tone: "I knew I couldn't get the scepter back easily."
"Okay, I promise you."
"Give me the scepter quickly."
"I will designate the location and send my subordinates to bring the scepter to the Wanyuan Plain. You can just wait and go there."
“Happy transaction.”
Galen said with a happy expression on his face.
“Not pleasant at all!”
Following the angry and rough tone of the Queen of Chaos, the tentacles spread out one by one, crawled back to the ground and disappeared.
"The Twelve Trees of the Abyss... If you want to attack the abyss, these are difficult bones to crack, and there are so many things like this hidden in the infinite levels of the abyss."
Looking at the twelve towering trees, Garen thought silently.
