Chapter 211 Arrival

abyss.

When the rituals of the present world begin to operate, the nine overlapping worlds in the abyss will be felt.

Unlike the spiritual world, where the surface and the material world are one-to-one, if you want to open a channel between hell and this world, you need a coordinate and an anchor point to connect the two sides. The rituals laid out by Mephistopheles are undoubtedly such a mark.

It was created by Asmodeus. As the former God of Time and Space, he still has a very deep understanding of time and space. At this moment, as the connection with the coordinates became clearer and clearer, an illusory portal slowly emerged in the second level of hell.

Rolling lava rolled on the earth, and under the influence of the Fire Kingdom, some volcanoes and lava were slowly born in the Nine Hells. At this moment, Asmodeus and the former god of weather, Cleos, stood together, watching the illusory light door gradually solidify.

The world and hell are isolated from each other, which means they don't know what is happening on the other side. But since Mephistopheles opened the portal as scheduled, everything probably went smoothly and nothing unnecessary happened.

"If you want, you can also go to the present world and go to Olympus. I know that you have always been worried about the fact that you were sent into the abyss."

Putting his hands behind his back, the Lord of Nine Hells said with a smile. Although this was the first time he returned to the world he ruled after the turn of the era, he didn't have any other emotions.

It's just a matter of time, today is just the beginning.

"What about you, Your Majesty, do you plan to go to this world as you were before, or as you are now?"

There was a flash of emotion in his eyes, but Cleos still asked.

"Once... Haha, it's not the time yet. Although I have taken a small step, there is still some gap between me and the Mother Goddess I respect. After all, the time when Nine Hells was born was too short."

"Since Olympus cannot be overthrown under the suppression of the laws of this world, there is no need to arouse more vigilance in others. Let's leave it to the future for now. Compared to Zeus, I would rather see my loyal subordinate."

With some nostalgia, the Lord of Nine Hells looked to his side. Someone once stayed by his side, but she finally chose to go the other way.

"My God King failed miserably. No one is willing to stand by my side, not even my sister who has spent ten thousand years with me. Fortunately, he still exists, which makes me feel that I am somewhat capable."

"I left too hastily before. After all, I didn't expect such an opportunity in the abyss. This time I have to tell him that I have never forgotten his existence, and he will always be my most trusted guard."

"Then I won't go either."

Shaking his head slightly, Cleos said:

"When you are ready to set foot on Mount Olympus in the name of Cronus, I will go with you. If you just go and make Zeus uncomfortable now, what's the point?"

"Although I am not as good as that young man, please let me be your vanguard when the time comes. When that time comes, don't be lenient!"

"Hahaha good!"

With a loud laugh, the Lord of Nine Hells raised his head slightly. His eyes passed through the boundary wall and looked at the giant snake.

"Then please stay a moment, Cleos."

"Let me first go and see what results the young man who put down his arrogance in front of me has achieved."

After the words fell, Asmodeus took a step forward. The illusory light door trembled for a moment, but finally stabilized. The light and shadow changed, as if it was a minute, or as if a long time had passed. When everything returned to calm, the Lord of Nine Hells was already facing the dark seabed.

There were no colorful visions, and there was only one audience. This sea area silently ushered in an existence beyond the standard.

"Salute to you, Your Majesty, you are finally here."

Bowing in front of the Lord of the Nine Hells, Mephistopheles had been waiting for a long time.

"I've been waiting for a long time, Mephisto. It seems that your experience has not been smooth sailing."

The Lord of Nine Hells glanced around. There are densely packed illusory spiritual bodies layer upon layer, including human beings and other life forms on the Great Plains. Millions of souls are wandering here, much more than all the silver humans in the past.

But he didn't mention this immediately. After all, the environment the two of them were in now was indeed a bit unusual.

"It's not difficult to imagine. Your Majesty, humans and gods all like to be smart."

"With a few exceptions, all the souls of bronze humans are here, and there are also many souls of alien beasts. Their souls are even better than those of ordinary humans."

With a slight smile, Mephistopheles showed off his results.

"All. How did you do it?"

Somewhat dumbfounded, Asmodeus couldn't figure out how this silver human collected all the human souls. Especially in the current environment, the sight of the sea overturning the land can only be achieved by Poseidon.

"That's a long story. I have to thank the Creator of mankind for giving me the opportunity."

"But Your Majesty, I will explain to you the details of my trip to the human world one by one. However, I have recruited a special lady for the Nine Prisons, and my previous communication with you will inevitably attract some people's attention."

"I see."

Nodding, the movement in the sky was not hidden from Asmodeus. He reached out and pointed back, and the door he just passed through instantly turned into a whirlpool, and the endless souls around him rushed into it.

"You did a good job. Although you have only completed half of the things in this world, part of our bet can be settled in advance."

"Now, I handle this."

Taking one step forward, the figure of the Lord of Hell disappeared without a trace. Behind him, Mephisto bowed to the place where he left, and then happily walked through the illusory turbine with the souls.

The devil doesn't need to worry about the remaining things. His affairs are over, and presumably nothing will happen to the daughter of the original Poseidon.

Soon, the water became quiet again, and only the sound of souls passing by was still heard.

······

Rainbow lights flew across the sky.

Gentle flames surround the rainbow light, dispelling the coldness of the heavy rain. The goddess of the kitchen fire patrolled the sea, but there were only waves.

At the previous banquet in Olympus, Hestia left the party early because she was dissatisfied with Poseidon's attitude. It's just that after leaving the palace, she didn't return to her own palace, but instead came to the earth.

She planned to visit the descendants of those two gods, Deucalion, the son of Prometheus, and Pyrrha, the daughter of his brother. Although it was not stated explicitly, they were allowed to survive the Great Flood because all the gods knew that the God-King would never allow any other god to take credit for the creation of man.

And now it is no longer necessary for God to create man. Creation is always difficult, but imitation is very different. After three human eras, now with the help of the gods, creating humans is not as difficult as imagined. What really matters is the materials for making them.

Fortunately, at this point, the gods were already prepared.

"What is this, some dark force?"

Suspended in mid-air, Hestia frowned. Dark light surges up through the sea water, corresponding to the thick clouds in the sky.

Previously, just halfway through the journey, Hestia changed direction halfway. After leaving Olympus, she could no longer see what was happening in the human city at all times, but the trident flying from the distance to the sacred mountain and the changes in the northwest direction of the earth were still clearly visible.

Something unexpected happened in this disaster that destroyed mankind, and something unexpected by the gods happened. So the goddess came here immediately and wanted to find out what happened.

But everything was empty and she found nothing. It wasn't until she came to the ruins of the human city that she keenly realized something was wrong.

A law that was completely different from the real world spread out from the water, and an inexplicable sense of depression surged into the heart of the Kitchen Goddess. This is a bit like the feeling I had when I went to the spirit world. It was a taste that was incompatible with the world around me, but in comparison, the goddess felt a little relaxed.

Because the current rules that prohibit gods from using their power seem to be diluted by this new law. Although this different rule is not close to Hestia, it also releases a little bit of her power to a certain extent.

So the goddess no longer hesitated, stretched out her hand and pressed it.

boom--

There was a dull sound, and the sea opened in response, but it only extended less than a hundred meters before Hestia's divine power was blocked by another figure.

Looking intently, the goddess recognized the person who came after just a moment's hesitation. She has appeared at Olympus banquets more than once, but it seems that she has not been seen much in recent decades.

"Cetto, why are you here?"

"Where am I? Do I still need to report to you?"

In the water, the original mythical mother of sea monsters asked without fear.

"No need, but the God King has set this place as a forbidden area and does not allow ordinary gods to come here. You may not know this. But what is going on below?"

Not paying attention to Keto's slightly provocative tone, Hestia looked down.

Yet she failed to see anything useful. Darkness has the attribute of [secret]. Although what the devils control is not the same as the real master of darkness, this is not an Olympus where divine power can be unleashed. Therefore, the goddess only saw some vaguely swaying transparent light and shadow, which disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"The gods destroyed mankind, but I am very interested in their creations, so I came here to inquire about their souls after death. This should not violate the laws of the divine court."

According to Mephistopheles' previous instructions, Ceto delayed. As expected, after hearing her explanation, Hestia didn't know what to say.

If you just capture a few human souls, it is indeed not a big deal, and Shenting will not trouble the children of the original Poseidon for this. But based on what just happened here, the goddess felt that something was not right.

"Do you know what happened here before, where's Triton?"

Instead of asking about what happened underwater, Hestia asked about her nephew.

"How do I know this? Maybe I left by myself."

Ketuo said casually, with a perfunctory expression.

".It better be so."

He frowned, a little annoyed even with Hestia's good temper. She glanced at Keto and finally decided to go and check it out in person. No matter what, she would not believe the other person's words.

How could a few human souls cause changes at the legal level?

However, the next moment, the look of the Kitchen Goddess suddenly changed. She looked towards the eastern sky, and under her gaze, several unfamiliar figures walked out of the void.

They have the breath of stars and the rotation of seasons in their bodies, but without exception they are true gods.

"You are"

"Are you stealing souls?"

Erine interrupted coldly, the charm of autumn surrounded her. Faced with the question, Hestia also understood something.

"Stealing souls, are you gods of the spirit world?"

"Keto, what did you do?"

Turning to look at Keto, the power began to surround the goddess. Her guess was indeed correct. The other party definitely did more than just take a few souls.

The gods have also studied the souls of mortals. No one would care about one or two things.

"Then it seems that you did it."

Another figure stepped out of the void, the purple skirt swayed, and Lyanna's expression was cold and indifferent. Unlike Erine, behind the goddess of the underworld, the shadow of the purple moon was floating up and down, and under the moonlight, all secrets were exposed.

The scene under the sea finally revealed a corner.

The shadows of the spirits covered the entire seabed. Looking at this scene, Lyanna's expression became more and more indifferent.

"No need to waste time talking to her, take her back to the Well of Samsara. Since she dared to steal the Lord's wealth, she should pay it back with her eternal life."

The illusory moon shadow appeared behind him, and the powerful pressure swept all around. Behind Lyanna, the three goddesses who jointly operated the reincarnation also looked at each other, and then took a step forward.

Spring and the new Eunomia released the breath of life, and this breath became prosperous and strong in the hands of summer and blessed Dicke. Finally, this power fell into the hands of autumn and the end of Eirene, and its nature was changed in an instant.

The power of the three goddesses was not strong, but when the cycle was generated, they played the effect of one plus one being far greater than two. The power that burst out in an instant made Hestia look sideways, not to mention Keto who was standing in front of the three.

"Did this damn guy finish it!"

Looking down, Keto's face turned ugly, but the three goddesses of reincarnation obviously would not hesitate because of this.

Looking at each other, under the control of the three goddesses, the power of the cycle instantly formed a special barrier, covering Keto. The twelve star gods released starlight, which was faintly connected to each other, blocking the outer space.

After a face-to-face encounter, Lyanna hadn't made a move yet, but everything seemed to have been settled. Under the "net of heaven and earth" of the spirit world gods, Keto had no way to escape.

On the side, Hestia seemed to be ready to say something, but the next moment, her face suddenly changed. The guardian power wrapped her up, and on the other side, Lyanna's expression also moved slightly, and the moon shadow behind her pressed directly towards the barrier where Keto was.

The phantom of the dark moon was overwhelming, and the void in front of it trembled, and Hestia's eyes became solemn. If it is said that because of the incompleteness of the [Fire] priesthood, she only barely reached the level of divine power 16 and stood on the threshold of powerful divine power, then the goddess of the dark moon in front of her is at least two levels stronger than her.

As expected of the incarnation of the only celestial body in the underworld, even though the underworld is far less vast than the earth, there are sun, moon and stars in the starry sky, but there is only one dark moon on the gray plain.

But the next moment, the shadow of the moon was stopped in front of a figure that suddenly appeared. The powerful force disappeared silently, as if the shadow of the moon had never appeared.

The figure was not tall, and even a little thin. The god with black hair and blood eyes stood in front of Keto at some point, looking calmly at the gods around him.

"Let's stop here."

". Is it you?"

Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar figure in front of her, Lyanna was startled at first, and finally seemed to remember something.

"Yes, it seems like a lifetime ago. How about these millions of human souls as my gift to the world."

With a smile on his face, Asmodeus was also very impressed by this spiritual god closest to Lyon.

".Hmph, take him!"

With a cold snort, in the entire spirit world, only Lyanna had some understanding of the opening of hell. Although she recognized the other party, this was not a reason for her to give in.

No matter who it was, daring to steal the wealth of the spirit world would have only one end.

The spirit world was right behind them, so the angels of the spirit world were also fearless.

······

On the other side, the spirit world.

There was no delay this time. On the contrary, Ryan walked very fast. One step at a time, one level of interface, and soon he returned to the top of Mount Sinai.

The Lopers Temple was empty at this time, just like when he left. Looking through the temple, Ryan looked at the young dragon lying on the dragon egg next to him.

At this time, Bai was full of excitement, and was expressing something to Ryan with his teeth and claws. But she still remembered Ryan's previous instructions, so she didn't make any noise.

With a slight smile, Ryan didn't say anything. He just walked around the table, sat back in his seat, and thought for a while.

Seeing this scene, some people finally put their minds at ease. Silently, the gray wings fell between reality and illusion, and melodious music sounded. A drowsy feeling came over me, but in the eyes of the young dragon, it seemed to reflect a different scene.

Illusion and reality were alternating, and this was the first time Bai had seen such a strange scene.
