Chapter 597 Between Destiny (3)

Between fates, it sounds like something very grand, but in fact, in the ancient elves' time, this place was just their playground, just like the electronic fortune-telling machines on the street.

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed unlikely that there will be any substantial danger.

But you should still be careful. There are still many puzzling things in the creations of the elves today, such as the rolling stones that will fly up and hit you in the face. Most people would never think that this thing is actually the treadmill of the ancient elves. They rely on the rolling stones to chase and run to stimulate adrenaline and get the pleasure of excitement, and exercise their bodies by the way.

—— Damn idiots!

So the three of them still maintained their formation and gently pushed open the double doors.

This time the room was no longer the guest room or banquet hall we saw before, but a strange place.

There was a huge deep pit on the floor, which almost occupied most of the area in the room.

The position where the three people opened the door was facing the center of the deep pit. At the other end of the deep pit, they would see six stone pillars lined up in a row, which supported the ceiling.

Each stone pillar was tied with a wrist-thick iron chain, on which there were still some red marks that could not be distinguished as rust or dried blood.

There was a double door behind the six stone pillars, and no one knew where it led to.

The situation in the room was like this. No monsters or mechanisms were seen. The first thing the three people noticed when they walked in was the deep pit that occupied most of the room.

Standing at the door, they thought it was because of the dim light that they could not see the situation in the pit clearly, but standing at the edge of the pit, even if they used the dancing light magic to shine on their faces, they still could not dispel the darkness in the deep pit.

This tiny detail immediately alerted the three people. Ao Dai was ready to cast detection magic to see what the darkness entrenched at the bottom of the pit was.

At this time, the thick darkness seemed to be thrown into the water surface of the stone, and suddenly it began to ripple.

"Back off!"

It is best not to approach casually if the situation is unclear. The three people stepped back a few steps and retreated to the door.

At this time, the darkness in the pit suddenly bulged like a fountain, and the darkness sprayed out was like a group of flowing liquid, splashing on the stone pillars, and turning into the shadows of human figures.

These shadows were tied up by chains, and seemed to be struggling in pain, but they didn't make any sound, which looked weird and terrifying.

Just when the three of them were at a loss, the dizziness came again.

In a trance, the three of them saw a pale green flame burning in the corner of the room. Countless corpses piled up like a mountain and placed around the deep pit. Now in the deep pit entrenched in darkness, a pale green column of fire shot up into the sky, burning the ceiling black.

The flame seemed to be alive, and occasionally it would bend down and drag a corpse into the deep pit. Under the burning of the pale green flame at the bottom of the pit, it disappeared instantly.

This picture has a strong sense of déjà vu!

Aoerdai immediately thought of the black-robed people in the Wild Bear Mercenaries. What they did was almost the same as what they saw now.

"Stop! You are destroying your fellow countrymen by doing this!"

When the three of them were stunned, a red-haired figure passed through them. It was not known whether Aoerdai and the other three had turned into air or the other party was just a simple image. Anyway, there was no collision, and the other party did not notice the existence of the three people at all.

As this person spoke, the shadows between the six stone pillars opposite the deep pit suddenly dispersed, revealing the blue-haired woman who had been seen before.

But now she looked a little strange, with black patterns all over her fair face, like some kind of spell, but if you want to identify it carefully, your brain will feel a sharp pain, as if reminding you.

Some knowledge should not be known.

"I'm almost successful."

"No, you're destroying yourself!"

The blue-haired woman sat on the corpse, holding a silver wine glass in her hand, and was furious when she heard the words:

"The tyrant's seal is almost complete, are you going to let me give up at this last moment!"

Her face was distorted with anger:

"Think about the compatriots who sacrificed, we will succeed, we will definitely succeed!"

The red-haired person seemed to want to refute something, but opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

"We will cut off the connection between the tyrant and the Demon King's Ring, and we have already succeeded for the most part. Do you think I will give up now!"

"I know you won't, but you are obviously controlled by the power of darkness now!"

The blue-haired woman stood up from the corpse and threw the silver cup into the deep pit:

"No! It's not that it controls me, but I control it!"

Her voice was like thunder in the sky, and the whole room was trembling slightly in the roar.

The red-haired man did not show any fear, and there was only regret and sadness in his eyes.

"Since you have decided, okay. I am here to tell you that humans are gone."

The blue-haired woman sat back on the corpse, seemed to have calmed down her anger, and nodded coldly:

"Their work is done, and now it's our turn. As long as the seal is completed, the Demon King God will never come back. Even if someone tries to call Him back, just perform the ceremony again, and our demons will get rid of the tyrant and regain their freedom!"

The red-haired man didn't seem to listen to these words at all. After speaking, he turned and left, and his image hit the three people of Ordai.

At that moment, a strong feeling of dizziness came over them again. The three of them blinked their eyes, and everything in front of them returned to calm again. Even the darkness in the deep pit did not cause any ripples at this time.

"It seems that we are getting closer and closer to the truth."

Aurdai tapped his temple and thought:

"There should have been some people among the seven apostles who opposed stealing the Demon King's Ring, but I don't know whether the minority obeyed the majority or was temporarily persuaded by others. At least in terms of the result, they did succeed."

Zora took a deep breath to relieve the dizziness:

"I am more concerned about the darkness mentioned in every illusion. What is it?"

"I don't know. It may be another god who can rival the old Demon King in power, or it may be some ancient evil thing. He is too mysterious. We have seen similar rituals in the first few layers of the ruins. It is estimated that the Wild Bear Mercenaries are planning to re-hold the ritual according to the method left by the seven apostles. But I have no impression of the object of the ritual. I will check it carefully after I go back."

This is also a very puzzling part of the whole thing. If it is another god who tripped up the Demon King, then he should definitely enter the Demon Realm to rob believers when the Demon King is away.

So, is this guy a god with a temple in the current plane?

There is such a possibility, but the probability is not high.

The most suspicious candidate is the Lord of Centipedes. When Viola went to the Sailing City to give a speech, she was attacked by the Lord of Centipedes' fangs. The Lord of Centipedes even personally blocked the intervention of the Demon King.

It stands to reason that the Lord of Centipedes appeared in the Demon Realm God after the Demon King disappeared. He should have no connection with the Demon King, let alone a grudge.

It is obviously problematic to spend so much money to deal with the God of the Demon King (Viola) for no reason. (See Chapter 123 for details)

But if the disappearance of the Demon King is related to the Lord of Centipedes, the scale of the Lord of Centipedes' belief in the Demon Realm is very small and can be almost ignored. The real reapers are other gods.

After spending so much effort, he only picked up some leftovers in the end?

The Lord of Centipedes is too humble...
