Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 36:
"Oh, oh, this time is really...so miserable..." Sui Xiong hummed painfully while lying in the boiling water of sulfur vapor.
Being surrounded by orc gods is definitely not a pleasant experience. It was because he saw the opportunity quickly and prepared well, and it took him several times to escape.
The direction of his escape was the bottomless abyss.
The abyss is located in the "negative" of the Ring of the World, a very dangerous and chaotic area. There are countless strange creatures bred here, and all kinds of inexplicable things will happen. The strong here are cloud-like but unordered. Even the strong at the level of a demigod or even a true **** would most likely die in a crevice on the side of the road, silently.
For example, Sui Xiong himself, as soon as he walked through the space, he noticed this pool—the point of the pool. Something was beating slowly. If you look closely, it is a huge heart. If you look closely, you can It was discovered that the hillside where the pool was located was actually a huge human-shaped corpse. The fatal wound of the corpse was a blow to the chest. Although the heart was not broken, the strange power had penetrated in and wiped out all its vitality.
This coordinate was given to him by the **** of justice, and it is called "absolute security". It now appears that this corpse probably belongs to the monarch of this abyss, and it was the God of Justice himself who killed it.
The actual form of the world that Sui Xiong passed through is difficult to describe in words. If you have to say it, you can probably use the concept of "parallel world". Countless worlds, large and small, are parallel to each other, forming a huge system, collectively referred to as the Thousands of Worlds.
Among these worlds, there are four huge worlds that form a wonderful ring. This ring of the world is divided into four aspects, namely the material aspect, the spiritual aspect, the positive and the negative.
The material plane has several layers, such as the most common thematic plane, the star realm where the stars shine, the element realm, heaven and hell. Most of the kingdoms of the gods are based on the physical aspect, but the locations are different.
The spiritual aspect is the key to communication between all levels and the world. For example, the mind world is known as one of the main roads connecting thousands of worlds. Considering that the other main road, Styghe, is too dangerous, it can even be Said to be the only practical main road.
The front is the world of order and life. Unlike heaven, this is not a beautiful place. On the contrary, it is full of all kinds of dangers and disasters. It is about the so-called "things must be reversed."
The "Pantheon" of the League of Gods is the only reliable safe area on the front of the Ring of the World. In other places, even the gods don't like to set foot in it.
Negative is a world of chaos and destruction. There is no such thing as a contradiction here. It is indeed very cruel and dangerous.
The power of the root of the world flows out from the positive side, flows into the negative side through the material side, and then flows out from the negative side, flows back to the positive side through the spiritual side, forming a huge cycle.
The abyss is the most important world of negativity--or many worlds. This place is made up of countless large and small worlds randomly stacked. Both matter and space are in a mess. Countless powerful monsters live in it. They attack each other, fight each other, and are eager to rush to other worlds. To sabotage indiscriminately.
There are also relatively stable areas in the abyss. Each such area is often fiercely contested. The strongest who can rule it is called the monarch of the abyss, whose status is roughly equal to that of the gods, heaven and hell. The commanders are similar. It's just that most of these monarchs are crazy stuff, and they are not reliable at all. Except for some crazy crazy people who are also nervous, no one wants to deal with them.
Sui Xiong lay in a pool of water from the corpse of a monarch, absorbing the blazing heat that could even melt the rocks, slowly recovering from his injuries.
He was seriously injured this time, so he couldn't get a good rest.
But things in the world are often difficult to meet people's expectations. His injury has only recovered 20 to 30%, and he felt the space on the edge of this world shake. A large group of creatures from other worlds rushed in, and this world The indigenous people are smashed together.
The creatures of the abyss are often collectively referred to as demons, or demons or demons, anyway. How many races do they have? No one knows. But one thing everyone knows is that these guys have no "family feelings" at all, let alone "combining the same evil." When they met, most of them wanted to beat each other to death and then eat them, so as to devour each other's power and make themselves stronger.
Stronger, stronger, until the strongest. Most demons have these things in their minds all day long.
What is a demon? The devil is chaos, total chaos, illogical and irrational, and there is no way to communicate with it.
In the front row of the Pantheon, among the four great gods of the origin of the world, there is the "God of Chaos". But it has long since disappeared. For at least one hundred thousand years, no deity has seen him. Some people think that he has fallen, but the supreme power keeps his throne from breaking; others think that he has fallen asleep and do not know when he will wake up; more people think that he has become the deepest part of the abyss. The Lord of Demon, the most chaotic existence in the true sense.
Most demons don’t actually exist in complete chaos, but their minds are also limited. Only when they do something very important, can they stay awake at a minimum and not get nervous.
For example, when invading other worlds in the abyss.
Sui Xiong noticed that the invading demons have many light blue patterns on the surface of their bodies, and a lot of frost surrounds their bodies. It can be seen that they belong to the ice and snow family.
The power of ice and snow is relatively calm, and most demons with this power will be a little bit more sensible.
In contrast, most of the demons in this world have bright red patterns on the surface of their bodies. Almost all of them are masters of playing with fire, and they know what type they are at a glance.
The power of the flame itself is particularly violent and chaotic, and superimposed with the chaotic nature of the devil, the effect is far from being as simple as one plus one equals two. From these indigenous demons, it can be seen that they are far more violent and chaotic than those invaders, and there are no rules in their actions, and they are simply a bunch of lunatics.
For example, Sui Xiong saw an indigenous demon rubbing his hands and rubbing a huge fireball on more than one occasion. Then he lifted the fireball high, but did not hit the demon invaders on the opposite side. He casually found a guy next to him who seemed to look unpleasant and smashed it over.
Hey! Are you sick! Take medicine if you are sick!
The first time I saw this scene, Sui Xiong almost exclaimed, but later, he got used to it.
Anyway, even on the relatively sane side, there are people who slapped a weaker demon around him and took it to his mouth as a snack. Then he smashed a fireball on his comrade-in-arms. What's the deal? What?
These guys...maybe there is no concept of "comrades in arms" at all?
The fighting efficiency of the demons was horribly low. Sui Xiong soaked in the hot blood pool of the heart of the demon monarch and slowly healed his wounds, watching these guys fight. He originally planned that it won't take long for both sides to play a victory or defeat. As a result, although both sides suffered heavy casualties, but the follow-up was endless. After a long, long time, they didn't really hit the result.
Sui Xiong noticed that the world is constantly generating new demons. Although there are various appearances, the bright red patterns on the body are similar. And they all play with fire, with no exception.
Relatively speaking, there is a steady increase of new staff on the blue pattern side, and perhaps the situation is similar to this side.
The demons on both sides die very fast, and the speed of life is the same. They just fight and fight, kill and kill like this, and there is no way of telling the winner.
Sui Xiong didn't know how long he waited until his injuries were almost healed, and the two groups of demons were still fighting and killing.
He was not in a hurry to go back. He was still lying in the pool, absorbing the endless firepower while studying the ecology of these demons.
Anyway, there is Brother of Justice watching over there, so don't worry. It's a rare opportunity to visit the Abyss. I'm sorry if I don't look at it too much.
I don't know how long he watched, he finally got tired of it and flew out of the blood pool.
The huge jellyfish waved its tentacles, but did not tear the space back to the main plane, but flew towards the two groups of demons who were fighting fiercely.
"You guys are playing so slow, I think it's annoying!" he yelled, "Let me help you, hurry up and end this war!"
Speaking, a few tentacles spent strange runes together, and a number of magics were cast together, one by one, the fiery big fireball slammed into the center of the blue pattern demon's position. , The blue-patterned invaders were beaten into an embarrassment. At least hundreds of demons were wiped out in this blow, so that their replenishment speed was a little slower.
Sui Xiong would not be merciful. He continued to fly toward the battlefield while smashing fireballs endlessly, using only the same tactics to bombard them in a simple and rude manner.
His magic power is much stronger than those of the native demons. Perhaps only the monarch who has been killed by the **** of justice is comparable to him. When he shot with all his strength, the ordinary demons couldn't withstand a blow at all. The blue army, which was originally densely packed with no end, became sparsely scattered in a while.
But since the blue demons dared to invade, of course, there will not be only these weak chickens like cannon fodder. Hearing an earth-shattering roar, a weird demon with a tiger body and a crocodile head and a pair of hooks on both shoulders jumped out of the gap in the space connecting the two worlds.
As soon as it came out, it waved its hooks and sent out infinite ice thorns overwhelming the sky, like a rain of sharp ice blades, completely covering Sui Xiong and a large area around him.
Sui Xiong sneered, rolled his tentacles, and uprooted a spontaneously burning tree beside him. He had the right to call left and right as a weapon, blocking all the ice blades.
"To be honest, I have always been a little curious about the strength of the abyss kings." He said, "I was beaten up just before, and I was in a bad mood... You come to fight with me and let me Find a sense of accomplishment in abusive food!"
