Chapter 349 The Accidental Birth of the Ring (Update 1)

In the Angband Mountains, three volcanoes 10,000 meters high stand in front of the fortress as gates, with thick smoke and poisonous fog. In the unknown depths of the cave behind the volcano, countless orcs of different types are working.

In the deepest part of the cave, a magnificent palace stands in the darkness.

The gate of the palace is a thousand meters high, and a huge demon wolf lies at the door of the gate.

This demon wolf is named Carcharoth. Morgoth personally selected a cub from the demon wolf clan to raise it, and injected his own dark power and devouring spirit.

It can guard the palace gate without blinking, and can also detect all the enemy's disguises, and has extremely terrible power.

And inside the palace, on the throne, the source of all darkness, the once most powerful Valar Morgoth, stood up from his throne.

"Such a powerful light power, could it be that the gods left Valinor and came here!"

Just now, he felt that in the direction of the Valley of Death, a sudden outbreak of light power of the Maia level, which shocked his heart.

He almost thought that it was Varda, the goddess of light, who had descended on Middle-earth.

The goddess of light would basically not leave Valinor. If she did, she would definitely be with her husband Manwe. There was only one possibility for Manwe to come to Middle-earth.

That was to lead the gods to attack him for the second time.

Most of his power was corroding Middle-earth. Although he had obtained three Silmarils now, he could never defeat the gods who had joined forces.

"No, Varda's power should be more than that, and they can't come at this time."

He closed his eyes and sensed it carefully again, and a puzzled look appeared on his face.

After his instigation, the Noldor elves slaughtered the sea elves and left Valinor. With his understanding of the gods' character, they should not care about the life and death of the Noldor elves here.

In addition, he had just started the war and did not have an advantage. Even if the gods wanted to take action, they would not choose this time.

In fact, he was also competing with the gods for time.

If he could wipe out all the elves, humans and dwarves on the continent before the gods reacted, and use his power to erode the entire Middle-earth, then this continent would merge with him.

He is the supreme god of this continent, let alone the gods, even Ilúvatar can't do anything to him.

But if he is conquered by the gods before that, his plan will fail.

That's why he is so eager to start a war, wanting to defeat all the forces that resist him as quickly as possible.

"Sauron, come here, I have something to ask you!"

With a thought, he has sent a message to the general Sauron who is recuperating on his island.

Not long after, Sauron, who turned into a vampire, flew to the gate of the palace, and then restored his true body and knelt at the feet of Morgoth.

"My master, what do you want me to do?"

"How is your injury recovering?"

Morgoth looked down at Sauron.

Sauron raised his head slightly and replied respectfully:

"Master, I have recovered most of my strength. I am ashamed that I lost to the elves and humans."

Thinking of the human who could use all kinds of strange magic, Sauron's eyes were full of murderous intent.

The army of fire demons led by the Fire Demon King Gothmog successfully broke through the most solid defense line of Maedhros, while the army of orcs led by him was beaten and fled in a panic, and he was also seriously injured.

This was the greatest humiliation he had ever suffered.

He had sworn in his heart that one day, he would cut off the head of that human and feed it to the demon wolves on his island.

"You can't blame me for this. No one would have thought that there would be such a powerful wizard among the weak humans."

Morgoth did not blame Sauron, but comforted him instead.

In addition to his strength, Morgoth himself had an admirable personality charm to seduce so many Maiar to work for him wholeheartedly.

You must know that in the great music of the Ainu, only Morgoth dared to openly raise the sound of disharmony and defy the will of Yiru.

"Master, rest assured, I will not fail again next time!"

Sauron assured Morgoth:

"And this serious injury also gave me some ideas. If I can succeed, my strength will definitely increase a lot."

"Tell me what ideas you have, maybe I can help you improve them."

Morgoth showed an interested look.

In terms of strength, among his subordinates, Sauron and the Firelord are the strongest.

The Firelord controls the ultimate flame, and his destructive power alone is much greater than Sauron, but Sauron is a learned man among the Maiar.

Before being tempted by him, he had learned knowledge from many Valar and was more comprehensive.

"I plan to make a magic ring, inject all my knowledge into it, and then absorb the corresponding power, so that when I wear it in my hand, I can exert double the strength"

Sauron told his ideas one by one.

His master was once the strongest Valar, even Manwe was inferior to him, and he had learned almost all the knowledge of the Valar except Varda.

If he is willing to help, then he can greatly shorten the time it takes to make the ring.

"It sounds good, but there are many omissions. In this way, I will help you complete the ring."

After listening to Sauron, Morgoth agreed with Sauron's idea. He raised his hand and a piece of the top magic metal flew from outside the palace. Then he opened his mouth and the magic fire covered the metal.

Afterwards, various magic runes poured into the magic metal as if they were free.

As time went by, the magic metal gradually turned into a ring full of various strange runes.

Finally, Morgoth injected a stream of magic power from his body into the ring.

"Okay, this ring is also infused with my power. With it, your strength can reach three times the usual level."

"Thank you, Master!"

Sauron stretched out his hands to take the ring, his eyes full of admiration for Morgoth.

Seeing that Sauron put on the ring and his strength increased greatly, Morgoth immediately opened his mouth and ordered:

"Sauron, there was an accident in the Valley of Death. You take your men to sneak into the vicinity to check.

I want to know who cleared my power there."

He was not so good at consuming his own power to help Sauron make the ring.

He did this just to allow Sauron to go to the Valley of Death to investigate the situation for him. The ring was made by him, and with his power, he could see the situation on Sauron's side in real time.

If it wasn't the gods coming, it would be fine. If it was the gods coming to attack him, then sacrificing Sauron would be worth it. He could escape from here and hide in advance so that the gods couldn't find him.

"Master, don't worry. I will complete the task!"

Sauron didn't know Morgoth's intentions. Feeling the three-fold increase in strength, he happily retreated and prepared to return to the island to take his most capable men to the Valley of Death.
