Banner of the Evil God

The Lord of Mysteries left, taking two followers with him.

He didn't say something cruel like "You're dead, no one in heaven and on earth can save you" before leaving like the third-rate villain in the story. He just let out a long sigh.

However, this sigh contained complex emotions.

Regret, regret, regret, and murderous intent.

There is no cover-up, just an honest murderous intention.

"What the hell is this guy doing!" Sui Xiong said unhappily, "He suddenly jumps out to dig into other people's houses. If he fails to do so, he looks like he is bitter and resentful. Who is he trying to scare!"

He looked disdainfully at the direction in which the Lord of Mysteries left, huffing and puffing through his nose, as if he wanted to use his nostrils to look at people with contempt.

But actually, he was a little nervous.

The Lord of Mysteries, the God of Wisdom and Magic, is recognized as the strongest among the gods, and his strength may not be much worse than that of the God of Justice.

This god controls the two core powers of wisdom and magic. He can give and receive sparks of wisdom from mortal beings at will. He can make any powerful being completely lose the ability to cast spells, and he can cast any spell in any way he wants. , almost without any restrictions.

Only the Lord of Order, whose realm is so high that even the gods cannot fully understand it, is definitely stronger than him. None of the other gods dare to pat their chests and guarantee that they can definitely win him.

On the contrary, those who are sure that they cannot defeat Him can catch a lot of them.

A long time ago, the elves were very powerful, with nearly fifty true gods, more than two hundred demigods, and thousands of legendary strong men. They created a splendid magical civilization, a level even beyond the reach of contemporary mages.

At that time, there were hundreds of floating islands floating in the sky, and the elven nobles lived among them, overlooking the earth.

At that time, the king of the elves was floating above the center of the main plane, shining brightly like a red sun that never sets.

At that time, starships sailing to various worlds were rising and falling at the docks of various large floating islands. Countless explorers and expeditionary forces were sent out, extending their tentacles towards countless worlds.

At that time, not to mention the inner and outer worlds on the material plane of the World Ring, even the positive and negative sides of the World Ring could be accessed via regular flights. Even the low-level nobles of the elves can buy a boat ticket and go sightseeing in the Abyss or the Wheel of Order...

It was a great era beyond imagination, and it was a fascinating developed civilization.

Then, when the Lord of Mysteries was born, he completely destroyed this civilization and declared his power to the world with the fall of a great era.

The specific circumstances of that battle have become a mystery, and the gods are very secretive about it. In fact, most of the gods do not know the specific circumstances of that battle at all. After all, it has been too long, and it has been so long that there is no one in the Pantheon. Most of the members were born after that.

Gods are immortal, but they can also perish. Even three of the four supreme gods have disappeared, and of course other gods have disappeared.

For example, the elves and gods in the past, that majestic, powerful, invincible and huge pantheon that almost ruled the entire world, have been wiped out. Today's elven gods all re-emerged after that battle.

If he had to choose an opponent among the gods, apart from the Lord of Order who was so unfathomable that no one had the courage to fight against him, the one Sui Xiong had the least chance of winning would be the Lord of Mystery.

This is not to say that he is afraid of the Lord of Mysteries. Brother Xiong's nerves are getting stronger day by day. To describe him as bold is too conservative. Even when faced with his eldest brother, who has a brilliant mind and quick thinking, he has the courage to fight if necessary.

However... I feel a little depressed when I have to fight with a strong man of my eldest brother's level for no reason.

Moreover, it is indeed very dangerous!

"Maybe I'm wrong." Wall stared at the direction in which the three gods disappeared, and after a while he whispered, "I've caused you a huge trouble."

"Trouble?" Sui Xiong smiled, "It's my honor that you are willing to continue to follow me. How can it be trouble?"

"My priestly 'knowledge' is essentially the knowledge and understanding of the world, and it is the use of reason rather than sensibility to explain the world. As the Lord of Mysteries said, this is actually an aspect of 'wisdom.'" Wall said "For a long time, the priesthood of 'wisdom' has been unique to him. Any god of any race who dares to take action against this priesthood will be mercilessly attacked by him. Either hand over the priesthood and swear an oath to never seek it." This priesthood will either die directly."

"But this time, I broke through a critical point by lowering the threshold of learning, prompting the emergence of the priesthood of 'knowledge'. The emergence of this priesthood means that 'wisdom' has since been split into a combination of several different priesthoods. "Wal sighed, "Even if he still holds the priesthood of 'wisdom', the value of this priesthood will gradually shrink, and his godhood will also decrease."

"Isn't he still the God of Magic?" Sui Xiong frowned and said, "No matter how much the value of the 'Wisdom' priesthood shrinks, as long as the 'Magic' priesthood is still in his hands, he is a well-deserved powerful divine power. It is necessary Do you care about everything like a miser?"

"I don't know, maybe what he is pursuing is not powerful divine power, but something above that." Wall said.

Sui Xiong sneered: "The more powerful the gods are, the four great gods are. Does he want to compete for the position of world ruler? I don't think he is such a domineering figure."

"Who knows... But at least just now, I can clearly feel that He is trying to accept me as a follower, and then cooperate with the God of Mage who will be deified in the future to separate the two core priesthoods of 'wisdom' and 'magic' By taking control from God, he gained a transcendent status,” Wall recalled, “He sent me a message at that time, explaining his idea of ​​what he would do if he could succeed. If so, he will have huge divine power without having a priesthood... I don't know what effect this will have, but he probably wants to use this to impact the realm of powerful divine power."

He thought for a while and shook his head with a wry smile: "It's meaningless to say all this now. It's impossible for me to switch to others for profit, so his idea cannot succeed. Therefore, he only has one choice left..."

"War, right?" Sui Xiong sneered, "Killing you, the God of Knowledge, and then promoting a new God of Knowledge as a follower is not uncommon among the gods."

"Yeah...not uncommon." Wall sighed deeply.

"If you want to fight, fight, whoever is afraid of whom!" Sui Xiong spat viciously, and ended this conversation with these decisive words.

Do you want to fight? Then let’s fight! Brother Xiong is not an aggressive person, nor is he a timid coward!

Afterwards, the Church of the Mask of the Void began to prepare for war.

The amusement park is still operating normally, but the faithful believers of the church are organized and take turns participating in military training. Sui Xiong no longer thought about how to create a new Kingdom of God. He built a huge workshop and worked day and night to make sharp weapons and strong armor to arm his believers. The senior leaders of the church were also spinning at high speed like clockwork gears, preparing for the coming war.

"Half a year." Leon Igor, the chief priest of the church and the governor of Gars City, said, "As long as you give me half a year, I can train an elite force of 300 people, each of whom will have a formal adventure. The strength of the person.”

"I will take the centurion to do some dangerous hunting and fighting to polish them." Gerald, the leader of the church's knights, said, "Their foundation is solid enough, and it's time to shine!"

Although Xuehua was not a follower of Sui Xiong, she still contributed a lot. She went to the Dragon Mountains in the northeast of the Main Plane continent alone, met with the elders of the dragons, and got the opportunity to meet His Majesty the Dragon Emperor through application. Through this commander-in-chief of all dragon clans, Sui Xiong and the dragon clan gods led the way, allowing the two sides to reach a temporary alliance.

The relationship between the Dragon Clan and the Lord of Mysteries has always been bad. If there is a chance to cause some trouble to the Lord of Mysteries, the Dragon Gods would not mind fighting.

Also willing to take action were the orc gods and the human gods. These two gods had long been deeply dissatisfied with the Lord of Mystery's monopoly on the two major clergy of wisdom and magic. After a little lobbying by Morani and Veyer, the two gods were They promised Sui Xiong that as long as Sui Xiong could withstand the first wave of attacks from the Lord of Mysteries, they would attack from both sides and strive to directly defeat this top powerhouse among the gods!

As for the mermaid princess who is gradually unifying the entire ocean of the main plane, she has made it clear that as long as Sui Xiong needs it, she will always bring the slave gods to help in the battle - not to beat the drum, nor to help contain them, they will stand side by side with Sui Xiong. Fight, let’s face it together!

On the contrary, the God of Justice was very distressed and sighed all day long.

"Brother... I really can't help you with this matter!" He said helplessly, "Dragon, orc, and human beings, these three gods are neutral to evil or even directly evil. On the contrary, the Lord of Mysteries is Neutral is biased toward good. My priesthood restricts me and I cannot help evil fight against good..."

Sui Xiong can completely understand and accept this. As the saying goes, "people cannot help themselves when they are in the world." If the God of Justice actually helps the evil gods fight against the good gods, then where does "justice" start?

However, although he could not take action directly, the God of Justice still played a role - He went to visit the Lord of Mysteries and tried to persuade this powerful man at the same level as himself not to embarrass his brother.

The Lord of Mysteries received Him graciously, but ultimately made no promises.

It can be seen that this powerful god has made up his mind. No matter how many obstacles and troubles there are, he cannot change his decision.

The arrival of this war is only a matter of time...
