The King of Light used divine power to occupy his eldest son's body in order to seize the entire mortal empire.
Therefore, it seems that a civil war broke out in the Targaryen family, but in fact it was a fierce game between the gods in the sky and a proxy war.
In this war, Heros himself did not know that it was the influence of the Lord of Light's divine power that actually drove him to seize power and even kill his brothers.
Horos is the agent set by the Lord of Light, and Yin Meng, the second prince of the empire, is Viserys' agent.
If Viserys did not get the help of the old gods according to the Lord of Light's original plan, then it would be almost certain that Horos, as the eldest son of Viserys, would become the next generation emperor.
And since it is a proxy war, the gods behind both sides naturally show their own special powers.
Viserys gave Yinmen the skull of the storm god, and the Lord of Light also gave Horos the horns of the black goat god that could spread curses and plagues.
But since he had the prophecy of the old gods and saw this scene in the prophecy, Viserys would naturally not give Horos the chance to obtain the horns of the Black Goat God, causing devastation and cholera to spread among the people.
The artifact given to Heros by the Lord of Light was cut off by the branches of the old god and taken away in advance. Therefore, Heros did not get the artifact that belonged to him and was defeated in the subsequent war.
After laying out the rules of the mortal world and shattering the King of Light's conspiracy to occupy the magpie's nest, Viserys began to arrange his "posthumous affairs" and prepare for this war.
He chose a suitable place to 'die' for himself, and that was in Novos.
Because decades ago, before the Long Night fell, Viserys had come to Norvos and wanted to visit the nameless old monk who lived at the end of the Sinner's Stairs among the bearded monks, and wanted to listen to his prophecies.
and teaching.
However, Viserys failed, and the unknown old monk died a few days before he arrived.
Later, Viserys heard here that there was a huge sinkhole hundreds of leagues away from Norvos, which was bottomless. People said that it was the entrance to the underground world.
But now, some restless commotion began to occur in this sinkhole, and white smoke emerged from the gaps in the stones to form a pungent thick fog.
Viserys came here and judged that a major earthquake and underground volcano would erupt here in the future.
And this place is indeed connected to the underground black mist. It should be like the ruins of Valyria's Fourteen Fire Peaks and the bottomless pit outside the wall, it is a bridge that can communicate with the underground world.
Therefore, Viserys chose the place of his 'death' in Norvos, hoping to use the opportunity of his death in battle to trigger a major earthquake, causing a brief connection between the underground world and the surface world, forcing the Lord of Light to retreat.
In reality, everything was just as planned by Viserys. He escaped all the way to Norvos, where he was eventually killed by the Lord of Light and fell. The huge wave triggered by the death of the god in the mortal world detonated the underground that was about to erupt.
strength.
In fact, even if Viserys had not died here, this big earthquake would have erupted sooner or later, and this big explosion really created a brief connection between the underground world and the surface world.
The demons in the underground wanted to pass through the passage to the surface world, but the King of Light, as the head of the gods, has unfathomable power. He noticed all this in advance and realized that he had caused trouble.
Therefore, the Lord of Light did not care to continue to pursue Viserys, but sealed Viserys's divine body together with the entrance to the underground world.
However, the Lord of Light was only focused on sealing the entrance to the underground world at that time, but did not expect that Viserys divided all his divine power into three parts before his death.
It is divided into the power of ice and the power of fire, and then there is his own divine body.
Viserys's physical body fell, and his divine body was sealed by R'hllor together with the underground entrance, and the two distinct divine powers he separated went to two places respectively.
The power of fire went to the city of Valyria, the core area of the Valyrian ruins, while the power of ice flew all the way to the Ice Altar in the Land of Eternal Winter, the axis of the world.
"By gathering the power of ice and fire, you can release me."
"Three kinds of divine powers cannot be brought into full play when they are put together. The two of you are more suitable to master them than me."
The divine shadow left behind by Viserys was slightly in a trance, and then he spoke.
The two siblings below heard their father's words. Although their understanding was a bit obscure, they still roughly understood what he meant. Diana and Heroes immediately looked at each other, and both saw the excitement and eagerness in each other's eyes.
"The power of ice and fire."
"If you master one of them, you can reach the level of the gods."
What are the gods in heaven?
One second, Diana and Heros were exhausting their brains and thinking, but the next second, their father gave them the opportunity to become gods.
As long as the two siblings obtain the power of ice and fire respectively, and then combine the two divine powers, they can release their father's divine body from the seal. The three of them, father and son, once again challenge R'hllor, the King of Light.
"But my son and daughter, don't be too happy yet."
However, at this moment, Viserys once again guessed what Diana and Horos were thinking like a prophet, and poured cold water on them mercilessly.
"It is not that easy for a mortal to step into the ranks of the gods."
"Even with my gift, you still need to have the corresponding strength and brains first."
"Otherwise, even if you gain the power of ice and fire, we will still be no match for R'hllor, the King of Gods, and we will still be dead in the end."
"If this is the ending, I would rather you get nothing."
Viserys spoke in a calm voice at this moment.
As a kind father, Viserys always showed his gentleness in front of his children, and he never got angry with his children.
However, this time Viserys gave such a stern warning for the first time.
Because he faced an opponent this time that he didn't even have the confidence to deal with, so he didn't want his eldest daughter and son to die with him.
Therefore, he had to speak ugly words in front of them and give them a stern warning.
"I set up two tests outside the wall and in the ruins of Valyria. These tests are very difficult and dangerous."
"You must pass the test and prove your ability before you can obtain divine power and step into the ranks of the gods."
