Green Monster Epic

Chapter 1062: Factors

The Phantom Realm, the seventh layer of the Endless Abyss, is never without scenes of war and bloody slaughter, even though this part of the Abyss is basically controlled by a powerful being.

A powerful Tanar'ri demon leads countless weak demon races in a brutal and frenzied battle against another demon army led by lizardmen who are wild in action and archaic in dress, all for the sake of gaining a glance of attention from the high and mighty demon lord.

The huge palace, sitting on a pile of white bones, is eerie and terrifying. The strict army patrolling back and forth surrounds the palace, making it difficult for even a fly to enter unnoticed.

Inside the palace, oily green flames swayed, and an invisible bloody aura permeated the air, with resentful wails echoing around the stone beams, making people shudder.

A powerful demon lord, wearing blood-red scale armor and possessing a narrow, crocodile-like long lip extending more than a dozen centimeters, along with a pair of amber-colored icy vertical pupils, sat high in the most conspicuous position in the palace, on a giant throne made of countless pale skeletal heads.

In front of him, a large crystal ball, polished round and two to three meters in diameter, emitted a dazzling white light that was completely different from the atmosphere of the palace. A handsome face appeared in the white light, smiling and talking with the owner of the palace.

"...This time, thanks to the cooperation of your followers, those old geezers' hounds have finally suffered a big loss, which has vented my anger for you and me!"

"It's just a pity you weren't there to see the exasperated expressions of those always aloof and arrogant fellows when they gathered in the Temple of the Gods. That was quite interesting!"

The full appearance of the face in the crystal ball was sometimes visible and sometimes not. It turned out to be a centaur with the lower body of a horse. At this time, he had a smug and happy expression, describing a recent scene to the demon lord outside the crystal ball.

"Humph!! Serves them right!!"

The demon lord spat out two powerful words: "But I am more concerned about whether that little guy you value can grow up smoothly!!"

"At least in my opinion, he is the most likely to succeed in ten thousand years, and climb to a height alongside you and me."

Facing the demon lord's question, the centaur-like strongman also slowly restrained his smile and replied solemnly and seriously.

"He better succeed, otherwise I will drag his soul from the River Styx and make him endure my eternal torment and pain!!"

The demon lord got the answer he wanted, but he was still not satisfied. He showed a ferocious and terrifying look, stretched out a palm, and his gnarled fingers, covered with calluses, sometimes clenched into a fist and sometimes opened up a world, as if he had already controlled the protagonist in his words in the palm of his hand.

"If you want to gain the long-term service and following of the creatures of the Feywild, cruelty and conspiracy are not shortcuts. If you continue to achieve your goals by such means, I am afraid that you will suffer from it in the future."

"After you replaced Seth Ineke as the lord, your style of doing things has become more and more similar to His. You should pay attention to whether His followers are affecting your spirit and will!!"

The centaur-like figure frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with the other party's brutal style, and couldn't help but persuade him.

"That's none of your business. Just do your own thing."

The stubborn demon lord completely ignored the centaur's advice and waved his hand to directly cut off the meeting and conversation with the centaur on the other side.

As the picture was interrupted, in a splendid and magnificent palace building, the centaur who had previously appeared in the crystal slowly restrained his caring expression and restored his calm and indifferent true heart. Above his head, the dome was made of huge, smooth, and transparent crystal, opening a huge skylight, and golden sunlight passed through the crystal to form a pillar of light, covering him.

Looking out through the crystal, groups of pegasi with pairs of huge wings were flying freely in the sky, sometimes gathering into clouds and sometimes scattering like rain. The earth was also a lush green grassland, and the breeze brushed across the dense grassland, like a vast ocean rippling in the wind. Countless centaurs formed a long river of steel, majestically patrolling this fertile land.

The centaur race's divine kingdom of heaven, its creator and controller—the centaur god Chiron—was looking at the blue sky at this time, his divine eyes piercing through the false sky and directly into a dim star in the deep sky, which represents the real world of Feywild.

"Little friend, I can only help you to this point."

Allen's guess was correct. The reason why the lizardmen Algon and Amansha tribes abandoned the various benefits promised by the Temple of Nature and firmly stood on the side of the Northern Territory, in addition to their limited loyalty to the Northern Territory and the benefits given by Allen's team, the most influential factor was from the lizardmen's serving master—the lizardman god Semuanya.

In the countless years of war with the abyss lord Seth Ineke, who had seized part of his authority, Semuanya eventually became the final victor, and through devouring the other party's means of controlling authority, divine power, etc., he seized the seventh layer of the abyss plane that Seth Ineke had operated for many years, and controlled this vast territory in the name of the other party.

In this secret event, Chiron, as a helper invited by Semuanya to cooperate, contributed greatly to his successful replacement of his opponent. Therefore, when Chiron came to seek Semuanya's help, the other party agreed without any hesitation.

It was nothing more than letting himself issue a divine decree, requesting the leaders of two weak tribes in the Feywild to support a gnoll. For the abyss lord who now controls a huge abyss plane and has countless strong men under his command, it was really an easy thing to do.

Moreover, according to Chiron's statement, helping this little friend may be of great help to himself and others who have been labeled as evil gods in the future, at least allowing them, the marginalized native Feywild god camp, to have one more companion.

If there was no other way out, which non-abyss race strongman who embarked on the path of godhood would be willing to abandon the bright and beautiful real world and devote himself to the dark abyss, and be with a group of crazy beasts who only knew how to kill and please the will of the abyss.

It is easy to set foot in the abyss, but it is difficult and dangerous to get rid of the entanglement of the will of the abyss. Even if a god is contaminated with a trace of the aura of the abyss, it will take a great price to get rid of it.

Those demon princes and plane lords who seem to be high above and turn their hands into clouds and rain are actually just puppets shaped by the will of the abyss on a whim. When they cannot please the abyss, they will suffer backlash from the will of the abyss, and their own strength and authority will be forcibly stripped away, reduced to the weakest existence in the abyss, and the final result is self-evident.

Semuanya, Kurtulmak, and Yeenoghu, these Feywild native gods, originally had the opportunity to establish a divine kingdom that fits their own and their believers' imagination under the pious dedication of their believers, so that the souls of their believers could rest in peace, and their own divine power and authority could be fulfilled.

However, their beautiful vision was ultimately destroyed by those shameless guys who took the throne a step ahead of them and formed a group, with unwarranted charges. Their believers were regarded as heretics and heretics, and were slaughtered, and the faith they were committed to promoting was even stigmatized and became the source of all evils.

Everyone can reach today's position and strength, who is not a person with extraordinary talent and outstanding character, how can they be willing to be bullied by others. However, the reality is so cruel, even if their talent and ability are one in a billion, they are helpless in the face of those opponents with deep foundations and accomplices.

But they have never thought of giving up, even if they are now forced to live in the abyss, but this is only everyone's expedient measure. They still hope to build their own divine kingdom in the future and lead their believers and races to the path of light.

If you want to compete with the several major god systems, the style of acting alone has been proven to be unfeasible in countless past years, so everyone has gradually changed their attitude and methods, and learned experience from those several major god systems.

I don't know when, a group of evil gods who originated from the Feywild and had a common experience quietly contacted each other, helping each other and helping each other, and established a relatively loose and secret alliance.

For example, Semuanya's plan to deal with Seth Ineke this time and replace him, in addition to Chiron's help, Kurtulmak and Yeenoghu, who are in the abyss plane, also participated in it more or less.

As for why Chiron, as a true god recognized by the Temple of Nature, would deal with these evil gods, it is naturally because he knows that he is an alien in the Temple of Nature. If it were not for his descendants and bloodline forming a self-contained entity and living in the Centaur Grassland, which is the outpost for the wilderness to resist human invasion, perhaps Chiron would also encounter the same fate as these evil gods.

This is also the important reason why he would take care of Allen after he showed some possibility of becoming a god, and even be willing to ask Semuanya to issue a divine decree to his bloodline believers and give him strong help.

Only when their native god team becomes stronger can Chiron not become a victim of the war between the natural god system and the human god system civilization.

The high-level officials and wise men of the Temple of Nature, after careful calculation and deduction, determined that the chips they gave were enough to impress the two lizardman tribes, which could only be regarded as medium-strength in the large tribes. They believed that they would turn against the gnolls for the sake of their own tribal interests, and then promote the established plan with confidence.

But they just ignored an important factor—the lizardmen's faith. For the lizardmen, the so-called interests, no matter how tempting they are, have an important impact on the family, offspring, and tribe, and they cannot resist a divine decree issued by the gods they follow piously, instructing them how to choose and act.

And this is the real reason why the two lizardmen tribes finally chose to act as double spies and give the Temple of Nature group a fatal blow.
