After the Lord of the Abyss awakens

Xius looked at the two people walking away, and then turned his head to see that people in solemn military uniforms were still walking out of the Brave Memorial Hall.

They should all be people of high status, just looking at their clothes, they all wear medals and emblems on their shoulders, exuding the oppressive feeling unique to high-ranking people, especially the soldiers who have experienced the battlefield, who more or less release murderous aura when they walk out.

In connection with what the few people just mentioned, as well as this scene and atmosphere, and the grief and despair that people can't hide in their eyes, Xius only thought of one thing.

——The only remaining brave man in the world, Roger is dead.

Xius's whole body was shaken, his calm expression showed waves, and his eyes were even more unbelievable.

Roger... How could he die?

Didn't the history books say that he was powerful and admired by the world, how could he die suddenly?

There was no sign at all, how could I believe it?

Xiu Si couldn't accept it for a moment, and he didn't understand why Roger, who was supposed to retire somewhere else, suddenly said that he died in the Os Empire, and in the imperial city, where the great magic of protecting the country spread throughout the city and paid attention to every corner.

How is this possible? And judging from their reactions, it couldn't be a natural death, but an assassination or something like that.

Was the brave Roger assassinated last night?

For this too sudden thing, Xiu Si's first thought was to verify the truth of this matter.

What if he was wrong?

Xiu Si's eyes changed suddenly, and he immediately picked up the two cats on the ground and walked quickly to the Memorial Hall of the Brave.

People who passed by on the road didn't pay much attention to him. Their faces were all full of grief and despair, as if the only hope was gone, and the only thing left was irresistible destruction.

Even the brave Roger died, what hope did they...they have for the Os Empire?

The brave Roger was a person who had gone through the Age of Gods and the Age of Demons. How could he die in the Age of Humans, and die so lonely in a place where no one noticed.

Sadness, shock, disbelief, and the irritability and anxiety of being powerless to change the status quo were clearly revealed in the eyes of these people.

The top leaders of the empire reminded that this matter should be kept secret for the time being, but can it be hidden? Can everyone control their emotions?

Despair is the most contagious. They never thought that the first person to get into trouble was the brave Roger.

The sudden death of the brave Roger undoubtedly disrupted their military morale, making them shaken and desperate.

... I don’t know what to do next. Is there still hope for their Os Empire?

-

Xius walked to the Memorial of the Brave, and saw that the surrounding area was cordoned off and several layers of isolation magic were cast. Some people nearby were curious about what happened inside, especially those who were originally working in the Memorial of the Brave, but ordinary people were no longer allowed to enter, so they had to return and knew nothing about what happened inside the Memorial of the Brave.

Xius looked at the soldiers on guard outside and wondered what to do? I want to go in to see Roger’s situation. If I tell them that I want to go in, will they let me in?

Xiu Si knew it was impossible, because he was just an ordinary foreigner, and the place in front of him was a secret place of state secrets, involving the information of the brave Roger, and was closely guarded by the military. How could they allow you to enter?

But

Xiu Si couldn't go back like this, he wanted to know what happened to Roger.

He took a few steps forward and wanted to communicate with the guards directly.

And at this moment, the cat in his arms jumped down.

What happened? Xiu Si looked down and saw two cats running on the street, one in front and one behind.

Then, the two cats looked back at him at the same time, as if saying that father was following us.

Xiu Si understood. His children should have some skills, maybe they can find a way to get in.

When they were in the abyss, they were very smart and could always find various hidden resources.

I think they knew his confusion, so they wanted to help him.

Xiu Si turned his head and took another look at the entrance of the Brave Memorial Hall. The distant scenery was covered by magic, shrouded in black fog, and no scene was seen. Even the most eye-catching brave sculpture was completely invisible.

Something must have happened, and it was something the Empire absolutely did not want to see.

Xiu Si turned around with a serious look in his eyes.

A few minutes later, he followed the two cats and took a detour to the inside of the Memorial of the Brave.

As for why the magic of space isolation did not work on him, he was no longer interested.

The Memorial of the Brave was similar to a park, with buildings, forests, and a large lake in the center.

The direction of the two cats was the lake in the forest. I don’t know if it was because they chose the right way, but they didn’t meet anyone around, and the soldiers were not there. They went all the way without any obstacles.

The curtain formed by the intelligence monitoring magic swept over them from time to time, making the two cats’ fur glow with a green light.

In Xiu Si’s impression, few people would come to this place, and most of them came here to enjoy the scenery.

But now is not the time to enjoy the scenery.

Because Xiu Si saw it just after he took a few steps.

The earth was eroded by ominous magic, turning blue and black, exuding a strong curse.

The trees in the forest were also severely damaged, with large areas withering, decaying and dying, and there were no animals at all.

They seemed to have known about the crisis long ago, so they left in advance, otherwise the place would definitely be full of dead animals, a miserable scene, and a foul smell.

Looking at the thick black fog in front of him, Xius's ominous premonition intensified wildly, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

Roger, you must be okay.

Hughes didn't care about anything else and followed the two cats. The scene in front of him was terrifying to the naked eye.

The ultra-standard magic tent has been cleaning the curse with high intensity for at least two or three hours, but the curse still does not change, burning the soil and woodland like an unquenchable fire.

The traces of the battle are becoming more and more obvious, the slashes of swords, the huge craters of magic bombing... This place may not be big, but it has experienced extremely high-level battles, and even the space was cut into pieces. Countless space cracks still remain.

Faintly, creatures in subspace can be seen peering into the world from the cracks, revealing their weird eyes and huge ferocious bodies.

It's not like Hughes has never seen this kind of situation before. During the Age of the Gods, he had seen more terrifying battle scenes than this, but none of them frightened him as much as this time.

Because what happened was none other than Luo Jie, one of the only six old friends he had in the world.

The other five are missing

, life and death are unknown, if Luo Jie dies, even the last old friend will be gone.

Hughes followed the two cats, the ominous feeling in his heart intensifying.

Immediately afterwards, the scene in front of him changed, becoming more and more ominous and terrifying, with cold curses everywhere, making people shudder.

There was even more suffocating silence ahead.

Suddenly, the two cats stopped and looked at the scene not far away.

Hughes had a premonition and stopped, then raised his eyes and froze on the spot.

Under the huge dead tree, an old man with gray hair was leaning.

The old man hung his head, his expression unclear, leaning against the tree in embarrassment, with two black knives stabbed in his chest. He was covered in hideous scars, and his blood seemed to have drained away. His life had long been cut off, and his whole body was full of death.

And after the person dies, the curse is still eroding the body, as if it doesn't even want to let go of the soul, dragging the person down to a more terrifying hell, torturing and destroying it from afar.

No matter how you look at it, it is impossible to still be alive in this situation.

The magician next to him was doing his best to eliminate the curse. Each of them was sweating and trembling all over. They could hardly bear the backlash of the curse, but they had to endure it because the person who died was none other than the brave Roger. , is the brave Luo Jie who once saved the world. Each of them has been blessed by him. How can the benefactor be cursed and tortured forever after his death?

In this case, for some reason, they didn't notice the black-haired young man in the woods.

Seeing the death of his old friend with his own eyes, Hughes froze on the spot.

This picture undoubtedly shocked Hughes, making him stay in place, his mind blank, and then his thoughts were confused.

Of course he recognized the old man. It turned out that the Rogerian was in the Imperial City of the Os Empire, but he had never been able to meet him. He didn't expect to reunite with his old friend after thousands of years, but the old friend was already... dead.

Hughes paused and his eyes changed.

-

At the same time, the Austro Empire Military Conference Hall.

At the round table, everyone looked heavy, and some people's eye circles were still red. Several people sat at the table and scratched their heads, their shakes and despair palpable.

This incident was so sudden that they couldn't react at all.

However, they all know who did it.

Seeing everyone's expressions were heavy and silent, Feili gritted his teeth and chose to be the one to break the silence.

Feili stood up and said loudly: "It was the apostles of the alien gods who did it. They were able to sneak into the imperial city without anyone noticing, and killed the brave men at the Brave Memorial Hall without disturbing the magic tower. Roger."

This incident was so horrific that it terrified everyone present.

Any idea what this means?

It means that the group of apostles can kill their people anytime and anywhere, whether in the heavily guarded imperial city or in the even more heavily guarded palace.

All of them live and die in each other's thoughts, no one is an exception.

They can't escape, the entire country is cursed, and they will die even if they flee to the ends of the earth.

Is there anything more desperate than this?

Now that the people who could best help them are dead, what else can they do?

After Feili finished speaking, there was still silence in the conference room.

With an ugly look on his face, Feili asked the distraught Eileenson across from him, "Your Majesty knows about this...

Got it? "

Eileenson's eyes were dim, and his brows were full of fatigue, and he replied: "Of course your Majesty knows."

Everyone gasped, unable to imagine how His Majesty would feel.

Not to mention His Majesty's respect for the brave Roger.

The brave Roger was assassinated by an alien god’s apostle in the Os Empire. Currently, only people in the Os Empire know about this matter, but in a few days, the whole world will know about it. At that time, there will definitely be an uproar against the Os Empire. There will only be more accusations and accusations, and it may even cause diplomatic problems, and the flow of materials will be difficult.

But...can they cover up this matter? Can it be covered up?

If they cover it up, it will definitely become a big stain for neighboring countries to attack them.

When the time comes, if it ferments a little more, it might turn into outrageous claims such as "The Aussie Empire betrayed the brave Roger".

At this time, Feili said in a deep voice: "This news can only be controlled for ten days at most. After ten days, the whole world will know about it."

Everyone's expressions became a little ugly again.

The Os Empire was already in a difficult situation, and now it is even worse. Is there any other way they can do it? Is there any strength we can rely on?

The eldest princess has not returned from the subspace for a long time. Could it be that she also...can't come back?

A military staff officer couldn't help but said: "Even if the brave Roger's strength declines and he is no longer the same as before, he can still reach level 90 with all his strength. With various super props, he can at least reach level 94. This level of strength They were all confined within the tent and did not leak out, and no abnormality was detected by the Great Magic of Protecting the Country, indicating that the apostle who assassinated Luo Jie was at least level 95. "

And I would like to ask, among you, who has reached level 95?

The answer is no.

Erinson just advanced to level 90 a few years ago and is already a very young super magician. Including the one who guards the palace, the highest level person in the Os Empire is only level 92.

Facing an existence that is at least level 95, what chance do they have of winning?

Level 95 humans can build and destroy countries, while level 95 monsters will only become stronger and more difficult to deal with.

Their life and death only depend on each other's thoughts!

Unexpectedly, while they were working hard to prepare for the war, the apostle who robbed Duke Feynman was also getting stronger and quickly reached the divine realm at a terrifying speed that they could not imagine.

If this continues, not to mention resisting the coming of the alien gods, they can't even stop the apostles, so what are they going to do to fight the alien gods?

"...Should we still investigate their gathering place?"

Another staff officer suddenly spoke, his voice trembling.

A monster above level 95 is holding a gathering. Even if you investigate it, what can you do to it? Do you dare to kill it? Not a head-on collision?

They feel even more desperate and find that nothing they can do seems to be of use and they can only be at the mercy of the other party.

"No, it's not necessarily that strong."

Another middle-aged staff officer couldn't help but retorted: "The brave Roger is injured. What if he is caught off guard and is attacked by a sneak attack? It may not be level 95, so don't scare yourself. If it is level 95, there is no need." What kind of assassination happened?"

Feili also agreed: "It makes sense, but it must be above level 90."

No matter how late a brave man is, he cannot be killed by a monster below level 90. But even if it’s only level 90, it’s not something they can easily deal with, Aoshi

Among the citizens of the country, there are no more than three people who can deal with monsters above level 90.

At this time, the commander of the Second Army, Gill, looked solemn and said: "What's the point of discussing how powerful it is? Didn't you all go to the scene? When you saw the scene, do you think any of us could have survived if it had been there? ”

Everyone's expressions changed, and the atmosphere became tense again.

Old Gil sighed, "The brave Roger might have known about it earlier, so he chose to die alone."

The hall fell silent for a moment.

So, the brave Roger knew that death was coming...did he die voluntarily?

The silent Erinson suddenly stood up and said with firm eyes: "No, I believe Teacher Luo Jie cannot die easily."

Everyone was stunned, you don't believe it... But with the curse everywhere and the body of the brave Roger, how could there be a second possibility?

And Eileenson insisted: "Teacher Roger is a figure who has experienced many divine wars. He has never encountered any crisis or overcome it. Since he said he would save the Os Empire, he will definitely save the Os Empire. He can't let us go easily."

Feli paused. Everyone's expressions changed.

And Eileenson insisted: "The evidence is that they have not continued to move so far. If they really killed Mr. Roger and left no one in the entire Oss Empire to deal with it, why has it calmed down and stood still now?"

After the words fell, many people's hearts beat faster.

It took a long time for someone to question, "But it's also possible that the brave Roger damaged it through his desperate efforts, and it had to rest and heal instead of immediately advancing to destroy the country."

This question is reasonable. After all, how could he escape unscathed from the battle with the brave Roger?

It may be recovering from its injuries at this time, and after it recovers, its target will be the next person in the empire, or even the next big city.

It wants to destroy the Aussie Empire step by step and plunge the people into complete despair.

However, Eileenson still insisted: "Believe in the brave, we just need to do our own thing and wait for the moment of destiny. Whether it is destruction or survival, it is the result of our efforts."

Eileenson’s persistence is not blind faith, and her words are not empty words.

Because she is the student of the brave Roger.

When Teacher Luo Jie taught her to level up, he would always teach her some convenient methods instead of following the textbooks.

Teacher Luo Jie could not die like this.

Absolutely not.

Eileenson cheered up and emphasized to everyone: "Everyone should perform their duties and return to their posts. We will wait until the on-site analysis is completed."

Everyone looked stern and nodded immediately.

-

Another place, near the imperial city.

Duke Feynman was walking in the forest, vomiting blood as he walked, but with a smile on his face, "Death, death, a good death, brave Roger, you are very strong, you have fought against the gods, but you are a human, you can Die, so you die, hahaha.”

It was also in a miserable state, with serious injuries visible to the naked eye, but the wounds were healing crazily at a strange speed, and it was about to recover as before.

In the battle last night, it successfully killed Luo Jie. This is such a fulfilling thing, and its gods know it and will definitely praise it.

"Hahaha."

Feynman

Jue couldn't help but laugh wildly, looked back at the imperial city, and whispered: "Just struggle, if you still have the means to struggle."

The brave Roger died, despair has penetrated people's hearts, and the destruction of the Os Empire is a certainty! Even if God comes, he can’t stop it!

-

Meanwhile, the nearby Great Empire.

When the sword master heard the news, he looked shocked and stood up immediately and said: "Is it true?"

The attendant nodded: "Yes, the Os Empire couldn't suppress the news. Just last night, there was a battle at the Brave Memorial Hall of the Os Empire. This morning the brave Roger was confirmed dead."

"It's a bit sudden, but it's just right."

The sword master's wish came true, he was silent for a few seconds, and then smiled, not feeling sad at all about the death of the brave man, but taking it for granted.

It is a truth of the universe that old things must perish. There are already six of the seven brave men gone. Without the remaining one, it can be regarded as the end of an era and the beginning of a new era.

It's actually a good thing, don't you think?

The sword master sat back again and said in a calm tone: "After the alien god comes, two things will happen. One is that the Os Empire will be destroyed, and the other is that the entire area will be annihilated. In other words, that area will become An ownerless territory.”

The attendant listened carefully and answered, "Are we going to occupy the original territory of the Os Empire?"

The sword master smiled, very satisfied that the attendant was getting smarter and more aware of his thoughts.

"Of course. A big empire must have a vast territory. The more territory it occupies, the stronger the country is. As the eighth largest empire in the world, our territory is still relatively small. After the Oss Empire was destroyed, of course we must capture them. land."

The sword master chuckled, his eyes slightly cold, and continued: "But I am definitely not the only one who thinks of this. The neighboring countries nearby must have been watching with eager eyes, so we must prepare as soon as possible."

As for what to say about preparation.

Why bother asking? Preparation for war, of course.

The attendant nodded heavily, said yes quickly, and then turned to inform the news.

The sword master raised the corners of his mouth with a satisfied expression, and then said in a low voice as if talking to himself: "Teacher Luo Jie, let me tell you that you are too old-sighted to stand in the Os Empire. You are in the wrong team. You can spend your old age peacefully in seclusion. Why do you have to take action, man, the older you get, the worse you get."

After you die, I will take over the Os Empire.

The sword master is ambitious and seems to have seen the grand blueprint for the future of the great empire.

-

at the same time. In an antique shop.

Hughes was still in shock and had not recovered. On the way back to the antique shop, he was thinking about who was responsible for Roger's death.

Roger is now a brave man in the world. Who wants to put him to death?

But after Hughes was shocked, his eyes were full of disbelief. He didn't think Roger died like this.

As a companion, he knew Roger best.

I remember back when they played the dungeon together. Although Luo Jie was weak in level and only a little stronger than him, weak people were more skillful and flexible.

There are weak methodologies.

Weak people are more likely to think of ways because they need methods more.

In his memory, Luo Jie was a sentimental guy, but he was also a thoughtful guy. A person who has passed through so many Shura fields and survived will never die.

If he had to be so quiet, even if he died, Luo Jie would definitely bite off a few pieces of his opponent's flesh.

Hughes reacted and felt that there must be something fishy going on.

He felt that Luo Jie had lived for so many years and had many god-level props on his body. It would not be surprising if there were props that could replicate the human body.

Maybe fake death?

Maybe the "bodies" in the woods just confuse the enemy?

He remembered that Luo Jie had led him to pretend to be dead in the past. At that time, the monster was chasing behind them. Luo Jie saw that there was no way to escape, so he came up with a plan and used props to fake their deaths, and finally successfully escaped.

"He must still be alive."

Hughes suddenly spoke, his eyes very determined.

At the same time, the gray cat on the table glanced at the red cat.

Moragos turned his head and finally communicated.

"Father has thought of it, do we still want to talk about it?"

Imposs: "Tell me about the fact that we were at the scene last night. It's hard to explain. No matter how naughty we are, we wouldn't be able to run from the antique shop to the Brave Memorial Hall in the middle of the night and accidentally see the scene."

Yes, they were all aware of the battle, and then went over to see the situation at night.

Roger is an old friend of his father's.

Father values ​​old friends, they know best.

Back then, because of their father's fall into the abyss, they more or less suspected that there were bad guys among the braves, so they had complicated thoughts about the remaining six braves and didn't really want to contact them.

But now that my father is resurrected, things cannot be the same as before.

Think about it, if something happens to Luo Jie, will his father be sad?

How could they make their father sad?

Once Roger dies, sooner or later the whole world will know the news.

You can't hide it either.

Therefore, they passed through the night, witnessed the battle, and knew the real process and result.

That is to say - Luo Jie knew in advance that the apostles were coming, fought with the apostles all night, and was finally defeated.

Moragos sighed with emotion: "It was really dangerous last night. That guy Roger almost died. I didn't expect him to be so desperate."

Imposs: "Fortunately, I brought Buyer's magic potion and finally succeeded in hanging his life."

Moragos: "It's hard to say that it's the effect of the magic potion, right? It feels like that guy Roger can resurrect the corpse by himself without our help. His vitality is too tenacious, and he is also protected by the goddess of luck."

Impos tilted his head and said calmly: "That's what you said."

Last night, Luo Jie and the apostle had a fight to the death. Luo Jie had the advantage at first, but in the middle, the apostle forcibly summoned the gods from other worlds, which pushed Luo Jie to a dead end.

Luo Jie knew that he was defeated by the apostle possessed by the alien god and was unable to reverse the situation. He would die anyway, so he might as well take a gamble, so he followed the killing trend and let the other party "kill" him.

Moragos: "As expected of an old man who has lived for thousands of years, he must have some skills."

Imposs: "But in that situation, pretending to be dead is more dangerous than trying to fight back, but he still dared to pretend, because he was sure that the apostle would not think too much about it? Who would have thought that a legendary brave man who is famous all over the world would see the situation at a disadvantage in a last-ditch battle? And pretending to be dead?"

Moragos nodded: "He took advantage of counter-common sense, but I didn't expect him to be so willing to let go of his identity."

Imposs touched his paw and thought: "He is not the kind of upright person to begin with. It is better to say that he has been pretending until now and shows his true self on the battlefield."

To be honest, this method can easily be self-defeating. If the opponent completely burns your body to ashes and continues to hit you like crazy, there will be no scraps left.

But Luo Jie must also know that the apostle would definitely not do that.

Because what that apostle is going to bring is despair.

It will plunge the Os Empire into complete despair.

So, which one do you choose, to let the brave man disappear without a trace and appear to be dead, or to let the brave man die in an extremely embarrassed and miserable place where no one is paying attention?

It must be the latter.

That has more impact and is enough to shake those soldiers who are determined in their hearts.

Of course, in addition to analyzing the enemy's psychology, the key to completing the golden cicada's escape is the means.

You must have means to hide it from the apostles' eyes.

Speaking of this, Moragos was a little unhappy, "But by doing this, he almost made his father sad, even though he didn't know that his father had been resurrected."

In this regard, Impos was also somewhat dissatisfied.

But there is nothing we can do, it is a game and choice between life and death, who can worry so much.

Maybe without them, Luo Jie would really be dead.

Impos turned his head, glanced at Hughes who was looking thoughtful, and thought: "But my father can also vaguely sense the truth. Is this a tacit understanding between brave men?" How enviable.

At this time, Moragos seemed to suddenly remember something and said in astonishment: "Speaking of which, does Buyer's resurrection potion have any side effects?"

Impos was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the side effect seemed to be - making people return to their true nature.

In everyday terms, let yourself go?

The two cats looked at each other, their faces darkening, feeling that something big was going to happen. But before they could say anything, they were arrested as soon as they turned around.

"I just thought that you two were walking around in such a dangerous forest. Didn't your claws get cursed?"

With a cat in each hand, Hughes had the tendency to catch them and "clean them".

The two cats were dumbfounded. No, no, no!

But half an hour later, they were doused with holy water and laughed at by two birds hiding in the system space.

God knows how much the Abyss Lord, as an abyss creature, rejects holy water. Although it has no effect, the whole body will be burning, which is not the case even if you take a lava bath.

The two cats shook it vigorously, completely drying the holy water in their fur.

They couldn't complain about their dear father, they could only complain about Roger who caused them trouble.

Hum hum, damn brave Roger, if it weren't for you, how would we have suffered this fate!

"But, having said that, if Roger had not died, where would he be now?"

Hughes thought about the key and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a long time, he said slowly: "I must be going to deal with the enemy."

At this time, Impos, who was wrapped in a towel, was dizzy and suddenly thought of a solution to the current situation.

Yes, their father... can definitely try that!

-

At the same time, there was an underground gathering in the vicinity of the Imperial City. Hundreds of underground believers gathered here, cheering excitedly.

"The brave Roger is dead

, the Os Empire is completely deserted, our great god is about to come! "

Praise the Apostle! ??["

"I can't wait any longer. Please ask the apostle to destroy the imperial city and let our great god return!"

They are bloodthirsty and crazy. They are all lunatics and perverts who do all kinds of evil. They gather here in order to collapse the country and bring chaos to the world, because they cannot live under order, and only chaos is their destination.

The death of the brave Roger, the guardian of order, in their view, is tantamount to the collapse of the mountain pressing on them, which is a great joy!

Long awaited!

But the cheers lasted only a few minutes.

A few minutes later, the underground altar wailed and screamed.

Someone screamed: "Why is there an outsider here? Who is he? Who is he!"

"Where is the Apostle? Go and call the Apostle!"

"Isn't it said here that he won't be discovered? Why is this person here!"

After a few more minutes, the altar returned to calm.

Everyone was quiet and completely motionless, except for the young man standing in the center of the pool of blood.

The young man tossed a few daggers casually.

The snow-white sword flashed, and drops of black blood spattered.

He seemed to be in a very happy mood, and even hummed a folk song, wiping the blood on the knife and laughing.

"It's better to have a young body."

"People will be looked down upon when they get old. People from other worlds really don't respect the old and love the young."

His face was reflected in the pool of blood.

If Hughes had been there, he would have recognized him as the young Roger.

It's just that his temperament is a little different. Now he has become obviously colder. Although his murderous aura is extremely restrained, he looks cold and sinister, like a poisonous blade that has killed hundreds of millions of people.

There was a believer who was not completely dead, and he was dragged out from the pile of corpses.

"Weren't you laughing happily just now? Why aren't you laughing now?"

Luo Jie approached the terrified believer and whispered in his ear:

"Don't you like to laugh anymore?"!
