Chapter 558 Messengers and Messengers

Without further twists and turns, after adapting to the new mark of the Lord of the Abyss, the Dragon Mother simply updated the Lord mark on Zeus.

The interface blessing power of [Nibelungen] conceals the rules of the material world. As long as Zeus does not use power beyond the upper limit of the interface, it will be difficult for other lords of Tartarus to discover his true identity.

Without the worries, there are only two choices before the incarnation of the God King.

He can either continue with his previous plan or return directly to the human world.

There is nothing wrong with the latter. After all, although none of the original preparations have been made, if it is just to enhance strength, the newly acquired [Mjolnir] and the foreign thunder god power contained in it can also be replaced.

But once you leave, the Dragon Mother's mark will not be left on it the next time you enter. Without the cover of the mark, it is difficult for him to move freely in the abyss.

And if you choose the former, Zeus will also face corresponding risks.

Because once he was trapped here, what he lost was not only an incarnation that contained part of the power, but also the artifact and knowledge obtained from the memory fragment.

Even beyond that, Zeus still dared not be sure, although the memory fragment had exhausted its power, where was the Eye of Odin now?

Maybe they died together, but this possibility was very small.

The greater possibility was that it still existed in the memory in a way that Zeus could not understand, but this time it was his memory...

Thinking of this, Zeus felt more reluctant.

He was not sure what would happen if his incarnation died here, but whenever there was a choice, he would rather leave it to the original body to solve.

Only the throne of the God King, which was closely related to the origin and destiny of the world, could counter this strange existence of unknown origin... Of course, no matter what choice he made, Zeus would definitely not continue to stay in [Nibelungen].

He and the Dragon Mother were not real allies, at most they were just mutually beneficial.

"...In that case, I won't see you off."

"The [Hvergelmir Spring] has just revived, and I am going to block the connection between [Nibelungen] and the outside world."

"Sir Kronides, just leave by yourself. As long as you don't do anything to trigger the arrival of the will of the abyss, you don't have to worry about my mark losing its effect."

"This is the route to [862-11-Thunder Pool], and it is also the deepest interface of the space-time level I found from the mark... Although it still needs to pass through dozens of different abyss levels in the middle, this is already the fastest path."

"Okay, then I won't bother you any more."

Although Zeus's thoughts were shaken, he did not show it. He just took the guidance sent by the Dragon Mother, and then passed through the space-time portal opened by the other party after a brief farewell.

The silver-white vortex fluctuated for a while, and then shrank a little bit.

Watching Zeus leave on the new spring, the Dragon Mother waved her right hand lightly, and her mind mobilized the divine power of the entire interface.

The space-time connection that was originally released due to the recovery of [Hvergelmir's Spring] was locked again. As the master of a layer of the abyss interface, the Five-Colored Dragon Queen has the authority to make such a choice.

This blockade made under the guise of authority does not need to consume her own power. The only thing that is not so good is that... feeling the leap of the power of the abyss, an extreme will gradually surged into the heart of the Dragon Mother.

This is not only due to the authority of the lord, but also the effect of the abyss power that has just been integrated into the blood.

Fortunately, the power of the red dragon does not all come from the abyss, and the blood throne of the Five-Colored Dragon Queen is not only forged by the power of Tartarus. [Hvergelmir's Spring] has retained a considerable degree of independence while accepting the transformation of the abyss power, and has not completely become a chaotic and disordered magic spring.

So the Dragon Mother easily suppressed this restlessness and maintained her usual rationality.

After looking at the interface that seemed to be a new life, she was still very satisfied with her new home.

As the source of the blood of the five-colored evil dragon, this place is destined to become a world of dragon blood life under her influence... But before achieving this goal, she still has one thing to do.

The gods of Olympus left, and it was time for her to complete her second task.

Ka--

Revealing her true form of a giant dragon with two heads and two tails, the Dragon Mother circled in the sky of [Nibelungen] for a week, and then plunged into the void.

Next, she will return to [Wanyuan Plain] as a lord of the abyss.

And this time, as a genuine lord, the Dragon Mother no longer needs to be afraid of the abyss demons along the way.

Even if she attracts attention, at most she will have a fight. She has enough room to view the scenery of different levels of the abyss.

Just after crossing two layers of the abyss, the Dragon Mother flew past a wide and rushing river, and she subconsciously looked over there.

Just now it seemed that something was looking at her, but this feeling was fleeting, as if it was just an illusion.

Without paying too much attention, the dragon mother vibrated her dragon wings and her figure passed through the sky.

Wherever she passed, countless demons prostrated themselves on the ground under the pressure of the Lord of the Abyss. This oppression from the origin did not change due to the chaotic consciousness, and only a few beings could be exempted from this pressure.

"..."

"...Dragon clan, the subordinates of the Lord of Darkness?"

Splash...

The river water rolled, and when the breath of the dragon mother completely disappeared in this layer of the abyss, the center of the river that she had noticed for a moment before, the river water began to rotate slightly.

After a while, the whirlpool in the center of the river became larger and larger, and a staircase made of river water extended from the depths of the whirlpool.

The lady in black climbed up the stairs. Her face was not very delicate, but her ordinary face gave people an inexplicable sense of awe.

Looking at the direction where the Dragon Mother was going away, the lady in black thought quietly for a moment.

She was not sure why the other party came. The only thing that could be confirmed was that the other party was now a member of the abyss.

But this did not prove anything. Except for the real gods with priesthood, Tartarus did not reject most of the existence.

Just like her, although she was supposed to be a member of the real gods, she was not rejected by the power of the abyss because of the special nature of her priesthood.

The most powerful primitive god in the world welcomes any existence that embraces chaos... Of course, she does not intend to embrace chaos, and the dragon mother who went away may not have this intention.

The river water rolled under her feet, and the lady in black no longer paid attention to the Dragon Mother.

At this moment, she didn't know that, just as she intended to seek some kind of cooperation as an envoy, the other party was also an envoy.

It's just that she came for herself, while the Dragon Mother came for the original gods behind her.

"... The uninvited guest who suddenly disturbed me has left. Let's continue the topic just now."

"I don't know if you can answer my confusion for me?"

Without any fluctuation in his tone, Styx turned his head and looked towards the river bank.

And where her eyes were, an eight-armed snake demon just retracted his eyes from the horizon and turned to look at the paper in the goddess's hand.

"Hell Contract... Hehe, why, since you have noticed it, haven't you heard about it from other sources?"

"I asked."

"But unfortunately, there are people who are willing to speak, but they know it but don't know why."

"As for the one who may know the truth... his response to me is 'I don't know, and I don't want to say'."

Standing quietly on the water of the Styx River, the power of the abyss and Styx are separated on both sides like well water and water.

He neither resisted nor welcomed it.

After all, as the interface where the power of the four primordial gods converged, the existence of the underworld had never completely leaned towards one side, so among the gods in the world, the gods of the underworld were the least rejected by the abyss.

As for Styx, among the gods in the underworld, she was the most special one with her special priesthood.

The divine power of the Styx [Hate] was naturally repelled by the divine power of the gods in the world, and the authority of [Oath] came from the delegation of power from the world itself.

So whether it was the human world or the abyss, most places in Chaos would not reject the eldest daughter of the ocean god, the Lord of the Styx who held the power of the underworld.

But correspondingly, Styx could hardly increase her power in any other way. Even the divine power born from faith would only be exhausted by her own power.

The only way to really bring her growth was to use the power of [Oath] to witness the existence of the oath, and then use [Hate] to punish the creatures who violated the oath.

At first, there was nothing wrong with this. After all, gods are immortal, but most of them have a natural upper limit.

Styx can use this to continuously enhance his power and continuously strengthen the origin of his divine duties.

However, all this changed under the infusion of the era of faith and the origin of the alien world. The power of the gods, which should have stagnated, continued to rise, but the power of Styx has not increased for a long time.

The power of the Styx is still too overbearing, so only the gods can use it as a witness to the oath.

There are very few gods in Chaos, and the gods under the rule of Zeus are more willing to let the king of gods witness the oath under deliberate guidance.

All kinds of situations add up, making it seem that there is no meaning to existence. Until on a whim, Styx discovered this contract that was enough for ordinary mortals to use, and the existence hidden in the abyss behind it.

"You should know that the authority of the gods cannot be violated. The oath is the authority given to me by the world, not yours."

"So, do you plan to take back your divine power by force?"

"No."

"I did think so at first... but later I found that this kind of hell contract did not seem to invade my territory, and on the contrary, it seemed to be a supplement."

"Because although this kind of contract is clever enough and numerous enough, it still has a shortcoming. That is, its power is too weak, far from enough to bind the existence of divinity."

There is no denial of this, because it is natural. Even as the source of the devil's contract, Nordrassil's real power has never been [oath].

Although the divine gun that once hit everything can witness the oath, it is more like the ability of "cause and effect".

It can make the oath of anyone who swears to it come true, but the more difficult your oath is to do, the more serious the price the oath swearer will pay in the dark.

So facing this goddess of the Styx who came to the door halfway, the snake nodded without comment.

"You are right, so what are you going to do?"

"I want to sign a contract with the existence behind you, a contract that will benefit both of us."

"The separated [Oath] is just two ordinary divine powers, but if it can be combined into one, the shortcomings of both will be made up."

"As a complete divine power, it can be placed under your "Hell" to enhance the overall strength of your interface. But as a specific user, it can only be exercised by me."

"As the actual controller of one interface, you should not care about these things, right?"

For the things mentioned today, Styx has been secretly investigating for a long time.

No one knows that this ancient god who has been living in seclusion in the underworld for many years is not actually staying quietly in the river channel of the Styx, but constantly traveling between the abyss and the human world, collecting all kinds of information.

Crius, a prisoner imprisoned in Tartarus, now seems to be the lord who holds great power in hell, which proves that the ruler of hell should not care about sharing power with others.

That's why she made such an opinion and finally came to the door today.

"......hiss..."

"It sounds good, but whether it is feasible or not, we can't come to a conclusion for the time being."

"After all, you are the Styx of the underworld. No one knows whether the power of the two worlds will conflict, and whether it will cause other problems."

The snake was a little surprised when someone came to make such a deal for the first time. But Styx was right. If she could join the field of the Hell's Oath, not only would Nordrassil's growth be accelerated, but the three-layer interface it controlled would also become more powerful.

In contrast, whether the goddess of the Styx maintained her independence was secondary. Unless the power of the [Oath] could reach the great power, it really didn't matter to the snake who was controlling it.

However, according to the snake's estimation, even if the [Oath] fields of Hell and the Styx were combined, there was still a gap from the great power. They were at least missing a key piece of the puzzle.

Even if that piece of the puzzle was filled, it would still take an opportunity to condense a symbol of independence.

So in this case, without too much hesitation, the snake nodded slowly.

"But you are right. No matter what, your idea is worth considering."

"I will come to you again after I finish my work."

"Get ready in advance. I will take you to see the source of these contracts, Nordrassil - the Crown of the Nine Hells."
