Chapter 567 85 The Truth
It took only 10 minutes for Hela, the Goddess of Death, to slaughter Osiris, Sieg, and all the Illuminati believers in the Hades Palace.
10 minutes later, the scarlet blood mist had completely dissipated in the strong light and lightning. With a faint smell of burnt beard, Hela stepped on the loose and dark bodies of the dead and walked in front of Loki.
So far, he finally figured out the ins and outs of everything.
Everything Loki experienced in the Black Desert this time, the real source originated from the invasion of the underworld launched by the Aesir led by Hela, the Goddess of Death.
For a long time, Loki has been thinking about a question: he and Bakambusi opened the Asgard portal at the bottom of the Holy Mountain and killed the administrator who walked out of the portal.
A pure-blooded god died in the hands of two people, why did the Aesir never consider revenge?
In the mountains and forests, livestock died in the hands of wild wolves, and farmers would still organize people to go into the mountains to fight wolves. If a living person dies in the mouth of a wolf, it will inevitably trigger a collective movement of all hunters.
But the Aesir did not make any move.
This is completely inconsistent with their style of doing things.
What's more exaggerated is that in the next few years, the Vikings under Loki entered the portal, and their footprints were all over many corners of the seven divine domains. By chance, he also rescued the frost giants sealed in Jotunheim from the cage.
In the later period, Bakambusi was extremely bored and even began to organize an army to enter and hunt the fire giant "Surtur".
In all these actions, the Aesir seemed to have evaporated, and never showed their true bodies in front of the Vikings.
Until today when he met the "God of Death" Hela, he finally figured out this question.
His imagination of the Aesir was not wrong.
Although they have the power of creation, the Aesir do not have a population of hundreds of millions like humans. The Aesir and the Warsaw Pact, who completely advocate elite education, have only tens of thousands of gods in total.
When they decided to start a war, most of the tribes in the kingdom had to go through the Rainbow Gate to fight.
Among them, all the professional soldiers stationed in the seven realms of the gods would be transferred away.
The reason why Hela, the God of Death, led the Aesir to invade the underworld was because she caught the secret agent sent to Asgard by Sardin, the Lord of Dusk. Ordinary humans could not tolerate the lizardmen killing their tribesmen and then wearing human skins, let alone the Aesir who were always eager to fight.
Dare to peel off the skin of the tribesmen and wear it on their bodies, and then try to mix into their own tribe. The God King Odin was furious about this and sent his daughter with the strongest combat power to lead the tribal warriors to invade the underworld.
The war in the underworld began.
It can be imagined that in front of the Aesir who fell from the sky, the human undead living in the underworld fell to the ground like straw.
Thousands of years ago, the underworld had experienced several times of the advent of the outer gods, but it was the first time that Hela, the God of Death, led an organized army of outer gods to invade.
"Lord of Dusk" Sardin knew that this group of powerful ancient gods came for him. He had to come up with a countermeasure to survive. Otherwise, despite the vast defense of the underworld, the Aesir would still be like a sharp sting, breaking through all obstacles and coming to his side.
At that time, he would be facing a dead end.
The instinct of survival forced Sardin to rack his brains to think.
The undead in the underworld have no so-called "birth".
The only way to create a large number of troops in the underworld is to create a huge massacre in the human world.
Therefore, Sardin set his sights on the Tang Dynasty in the East, which has the strongest professional army.
At this time, the Illuminati held two trump cards in their hands.
1. They controlled the Temple of Anubis deep in the Black Desert.
As early as in ancient times, the Styx priests had discovered the secret of the existence of the underworld. They could use ancient secrets to shuttle between Yin and Yang at will, and they could also serve as ferrymen between the two worlds of Yin and Yang, and control the dead or the landing place of the living souls at will.
2. They found a powerful fuse
50 years later, when the legalists carefully studied the origin of the disaster on a ruined land, they set their sights on the root of all disasters.
An Lushan, the darling of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.
**
After a little exploration, it is not difficult to find that there are huge changes in An Lushan's life, like a chasm.
An Lushan is a veritable "bastard" in the eyes of the people of Donglu. His biological father is a Sogdian from the Western Regions, and his biological mother is a Turkic wizard who believes in an unknown evil god. In the mouths of the Tang people, his origin is defined as a "bastard Hu people", the lowest bloodline.
Most of the untouchables are engaged in lowly occupations.
An Lushan was born with big arms and waist, and his mother had two or three tricks of evil magic, so his life started with theft. In his youth, An Lushan frequently appeared in the prosperous markets on the Silk Road to support his mother.
His target was not fixed.
In good years, he stole some silk tea bricks from Tang merchants.
In bad years, he stole some cattle and sheep from the people in the Western Regions.
However, thieves are a profession that requires "timing". In troubled times, no one would pay attention to a petty thief who was roaming around and committing crimes, but An Lushan was doing it in the "Kaiyuan Prosperity".
In the past few decades, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has been rising, and the Tang army's control over the Western Regions has also reached an extremely strict level.
He had only been a thief for two years when he was captured by the Youzhou Bad People.
If an ordinary Laker bastard fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty border guards, he would most likely be severely executed.
However, in the court, An Lushan had an idea and roared to surrender to the Jiedushi. Youzhou Jiedushi Zhang Shouxi also found that this man was strong and could perform some Western witchcraft. What was particularly rare was that his life of wandering since childhood allowed him to master the vassal languages of six small countries on the Silk Road, including Chechi, Sogdia, and Tocharia.
It seemed to be a good choice to save his life and let him join the army.
The idea in the court made An Lushan live a completely different life from then on. After joining the army, he served as a "capturer of live generals".
As the name suggests, this is a scout who specializes in capturing live people, tongues, and secret stakes.
He did a good job and his military position was promoted year by year. From a non-commissioned officer to a lieutenant general, and even promoted to the general of the left guard, he became a well-known figure in Youzhou.
But no one's life is smooth sailing.
In AD738, An Lushan was ordered by Zhang Shouxi to fight against the Khitan. This was his first time to lead a corps to fight. However, the result of this battle was not smooth. Because of his greed for merit and recklessness, he was killed by the Khitan and returned in defeat.
According to Tang law, he should be beheaded.
When the investigation reached this point, the legalists did not find any problems in An Lushan's resume.
A Western Hu man successfully joined the army with his language talent, strong physique and a few Western magic tricks. He experienced some victories, promotions and salary increases, and then, like most generals who did not leave their names in history, he was beheaded because of a big defeat.
But the problem appeared in this beheading.
He actually attracted the attention of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
