A wasteland of destruction and despair...
As its name suggests, this is the most desperate place in all the outer planes, and it is also a land with strong evil tendencies.
According to the results published by some plane scholars, it seems to be located in the lower level of Baator and the Abyss, so it has been one of the main battlefields for the two sides since the outbreak of the bloody battle.
Before the coming of Ozach, it was common to see legion-level devils and demons fighting each other day and night in the endless wasteland.
But now, the intensity of the war has obviously decreased a lot.
The demons, without any worries, began to gain the upper hand.
But whether it is the rage from the abyss or the cunning from hell, they must succumb to the cruelty and despair of this plane.
Because from the moment they entered the wasteland of destruction and despair, they were destined to never return to their homeland, and both their bodies and souls would eventually be ruthlessly devoured.
Please note that this is not an exaggeration, but a very appropriate description.
Since this plane is completely shaped by the purest and most powerful evil spiritual force from the entire universe, all creatures that enter here will slowly lose their dreams and hopes, abandon the most ardent part of their souls, leaving only a zombie-like body that looks like a gray ghost.
A sufficiently vicious mortal soul will be quickly twisted into a medium-sized worm after arriving in this plane.
This special kind of petitioner has a face that is extremely similar to the one he had in life, and is the most popular "currency" in the entire lower plane, bar none.
Not only can they be used as food to provide energy and spell replenishment to the eaters, but they can also be cultivated into any kind of evil demon.
This is why the bloody battle broke out here and became one of the main battlefields.
In fact, both sides are fighting for the larvae in the wasteland of destruction and despair that can be transformed into their own soldiers.
Of course, apart from demons and devils, there are also many old hags, liches, and yugoloths here.
Especially the building called the Desolate Bone Demon Tower, which looks from a distance like a huge spiral column rising from the ground, more than 40 kilometers above the ground, and the same is true for the lower part.
This is the realm ruled by Medien Clerus, the Supreme Yuga King (a type of Yugoloth).
According to the Yuga demons themselves, the Bone Tower was actually made from the spine of a god they killed.
No matter who it is, as long as they can defeat the current Yuga Demon King and sit on the "Throne of Malice", they will gain the ability to dominate Oinos, the first level of the wasteland of destruction and despair.
Of course, this does not include the kingdom of the goddess of poison and disease, which also stands on this level.
In fact, the most distinctive feature of Oinos is the deadly poison and plague that are everywhere.
Both Talona and the Supreme Yuga Demon Lord, Medien Klerus, can breed, create, and change a disease (including plague and mental illness) or toxin at will here, and then spread it to other prime material planes as a devastating weapon.
As for the other two levels, they are Pluton and Niva underworld.
In this three-dimensional wasteland of destruction and despair live five gods born from Toril.
In addition to the goddess of poison and disease, there are also the god of vengeance, Hoar, the goddess of misfortune, Benshaba, the god of tyranny, Bane, the god of tyranny, and Loviata, the goddess of abuse.
However, as Talona's alignment and priesthood have deviated on a large scale, her kingdom has now become somewhat different from the inclination of this plane itself.
This also means that it is impossible to obtain corresponding blessings from the will of the plane.
All the gods are wondering when Talona will tear her kingdom apart from the plane of destruction and despair, and where she will move it.
Is it the Endless Wasteland, a zoo of animals that represents absolute neutrality and is full of wildness and nature? Or is it the Unrestrained Wilderness, which is slightly inclined towards the chaotic good camp?
Or maybe just join the Temple of Nature of "Father of Oak" Silvanus?
You have to know that for a god, this is not just as simple as "moving", it also means a series of changes in his future priesthood, doctrine, etc.
Some gods became powerful from weak through such transformation, but some gods were abandoned by their existing believers because they did not perform well, and eventually died in the star realm.
But as the person involved, Talona does not seem nervous about the upcoming transformation. She still sits on the throne in a very leisurely manner, ruling this country that is becoming bigger and bigger as her influence increases.
You should know that the biggest difference between the outer plane and the material plane is that its essence is a projection of some kind of spiritual power.
If the intelligent creatures in the entire universe as a whole tend to lean towards that camp, and their souls continue to reincarnate into this plane after death, then the size and area of that plane will increase accordingly, and in theory there is no upper limit.
By the same token, as the influence of a god increases and the number of his believers grows, the scope of the kingdom he controls will also expand.
Some powerful divine powers have influence covering several, dozens or even hundreds of material planes, and the number of believers reaches billions or even tens of billions. The scope of their kingdom may be equivalent to the sum of several or even dozens of planets added together.
This is also the rule governing the operation of the universe where the planet Toril is located, and it is also the source of all opposition and conflict.
The country of Talona is no longer the place full of humid swamps, mosquitoes, poisonous creatures and terrible plagues.
Just the opposite!
It is like a huge tropical rainforest, where every day the process of life's birth, aging and death is staged, and eventually life is decomposed by microorganisms and returns to the earth.
The poisons and plagues were hidden in this process instead of being displayed in a horrific way.
In addition, in the dense rainforest, you can vaguely see several cities rising from the ground.
Each city was built with a triangular pyramid altar as its core.
Around the altar, you can see countless female prayers dressed in cool and sexy outfits, praying to the goddess they serve day and night.
Although their expressions are holy and pious, their movements are full of temptation and strong suggestion, and their dance will inevitably cause people to have some physical impulses after watching them.
Around the city, there are large tracts of densely distributed farmland and pastures, as if a civilized country is being established.
Such a normal scene can undoubtedly be regarded as a paradise in the wasteland filled with spiritual gloom, destruction and despair.
Therefore, countless demons and a small number of devils who wanted to escape the bloody battle, as well as those souls reincarnated from other material planes, all rushed in madly.
They hope to find the peaceful life they dream of here.
Admiring the prosperous scene in the entire kingdom, the goddess of torture and abuse, Lovita, asked in an uncertain tone: "My dear Lord God, since when did your taste become so strange? Especially the clothes and movements of those female petitioners. If you don't know, you might think you have entered the kingdom of the God of Love and Beauty."
"strangeness?"
The Goddess of Poison and Disease smiled and shook her head: "No, you are wrong. I made this arrangement specifically to welcome Soth's arrival. This is his first time in my country, so I have to leave a good impression on him."
"Are you sure he can really get the few priesthoods I want from Jaeger?"
Lovita's high-heeled leather boots made a crisp sound as they stepped on the black and white marble floor. The tight leather jacket on her body perfectly showed off her curvy figure, and her eyes flashed with naked and undisguised greed and desire.
"I don't know. But I believe he will be able to bring me a huge surprise, just like the last few times. Also, I hope you've prepared a return gift of sufficient size, otherwise I'll be angry."
Talona glared at this good sister who had only been under her control for a short time with a warning look.
"You don't have to worry about this. Even if he brings back any one of the priesthoods, I will give him enough rewards. Because the value of the priesthood is far more important than anything else."
As she spoke, Lovita swung the nine-tailed whip covered with thorns and barbs in her hand and whipped it hard on her smooth white back.
Pah!!! Along with the crisp sound, she immediately let out a low roar of pain from her mouth.
Immediately afterwards, the low roar quickly turned into a moan that gave rise to endless fantasies, and an expression of enjoyment and satisfaction appeared on her face.
It is not difficult to see from her priesthood, title and doctrine that this goddess is an out-and-out sadist and masochist.
In some areas where private lives are chaotic and people indulge in extravagant entertainment, the special skills possessed by her priests and believers are deeply loved by the nobles, wealthy businessmen and other upper-class people.
Some people are even willing to spend hundreds of gold coins just to have the followers of Lovita whip them hard during intense exercise in order to get more extra stimulation and pleasure.
However, soon, the places on the abused goddess' back that were whipped to the point of being torn apart healed completely, without even a drop of divine blood left, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
Talona was obviously used to Lovita's self-abuse. She asked casually, "What do you think about the return of Bane, the God of Tyranny, and the rise of the new God of Death?"
“It’s no wonder that the rise of the new Death God Kelemvor was definitely caused by Jaeger.
He is the ancient god of death, and his understanding of death far exceeds that of any other god.
However, the romantic relationship between Clemvor and the magic goddess Midnight when they were still mortals may form a new alliance in a short period of time.
But this doesn't have much impact on us. The one we should be most worried about is that madman Xirik.
In contrast, Bane's return is something that is very relevant to us.
Because in the field of priesthood, the God of Tyranny and I are complementary.
I think we might consider an alliance with him.”
Lovita spoke her mind directly.
Since the priesthoods of Baal, Bane, and Melkor all originated from the ancient god of death, Jaeger, they highly recognized each other's philosophies and teachings, and formed an alliance in secret.
For a long time, all the gods who joined this alliance were called "Dark Gods".
As a subordinate of Baal, it is natural that Loviatar has a favorable impression of Bane, who has similar values and philosophy.
If it were in the past, the Goddess of Poison and Disease would obviously come to the same conclusion as the Goddess of Abuse.
But now...
Talona just smiled meaningfully but did not express any opinions of her own and fell silent again.
Just when Lovita was about to say something, a portal to another world suddenly opened out of nowhere.
Immediately afterwards, Zuo Si walked out from the other side.
There is no doubt that as a chosen one, he had long ago obtained permission to enter the Goddess's kingdom at any time and anywhere, so teleporting here can be said to be very simple and convenient.
"What was the result?"
Lavita rushed forward immediately and almost staged a "carrying the ball into the opponent".
Fortunately, Zuo Si reacted quickly and reached out in time to stop the goddess and her exaggeratedly proportioned upper body from getting closer. At the same time, he took out the container filled with divine duties and answered directly: "The transaction was successfully completed.
Here are several priesthoods: wear and tear, decay, fatigue, dusk, autumn, parasites, and old age.
My job is just to bring them over.
As for how to divide it specifically, you two should discuss it slowly."
"What?! You got seven back at once? And there are also the priesthoods of Old Age, Decay, Dusk, and Autumn, which have great potential?"
Lovita's eyes widened in disbelief, and without saying a word she smashed the container, displaying these things that were considered the most precious by the gods one by one.
After confirming the rules and power represented by those balls of light, her gaze towards Zuo Si suddenly became extremely hot, and she looked as if she wanted to swallow them all in one gulp.
"What did it cost you?"
Talona slowly stood up from the throne and asked in a very concerned tone.
"I'm sorry, I promised Jaeger to keep it a secret. But don't worry, this price is minimal for me."
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and glanced at the surrounding environment and the situation of the entire country out of the corner of his eye.
Unlike what was expected, the climate is unsuitable for human survival. Although it is a bit hot and humid overall, it is full of vitality, similar to the South American rainforest on Earth.
Whether it is the animals, plants, or the petitioners gathered near the city, they all present a thriving scene.
Especially the abundance of food that can never be eaten up makes this the only place in the wasteland of destruction and despair that can be called suitable for mortals to live in.
Some travelers and wizards from other planes have used this place as a base, cautiously exploring more dangerous places outside.
Many old hags and yugoloths have also established caravans to trade with merchants from other planes.
Every day, hundreds of thousands or even millions of larvae are traded from one merchant to another as currency.
The scheming devils of the ninth layer of hell even used their special status as the elect of their lord to send an ambassador to reside here permanently.
While organizing his men to sell specialties from the ninth plane, he also purchased the squirming larvae without limit, and then took them back to squeeze their energy and transform them into low-level cannon fodder.
Although Lord Zuo Si was often offline, the series of rules he formulated stimulated the initiative of the devils under his command.
For performance!
For promotion!
In order to gain greater power and a higher social status! Every devil is doing his best to expand his business and lure those souls and even living mortals into the huge cyberpunk city, letting them enjoy the ultimate pleasure brought by indulgence, and then completely sinking into corrupted and fallen souls that meet the requirements of the hell plane.
Talona obviously noticed Zuo Si's gaze, and immediately walked closer and asked with a smile: "What do you think of my country now?"
"Very good! Much better than the depressing atmosphere and extreme spiritual gloom outside." Zuo Si commented with interest, stroking his chin.
"And what about my priestesses?"
Talona cast her eyes towards the group of scantily clad, beautiful figures on the altar not far away.
Especially when doing kneeling, which is a movement with a large amplitude, the scenery inside can basically be seen at a glance.
Zuo Si's mouth twitched slightly, and he raised his eyebrows and responded, "If you let all your young female priests in Faerun dress like this, I guarantee that the number of mortals who voluntarily come to participate in religious activities and donate will increase by at least ten times or even dozens of times. However, men will probably account for 99% of them."
"Haha, you are very humorous. But that's not what I want to ask. What do you think of them?" Talona whispered in her ear.
"I can only say that it is very tempting and also in line with my aesthetic."
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders, completely confused as to what this goddess was up to.
Talona was obviously quite satisfied with this answer, and continued to whisper in his ear: "Dear Soth, do you know?
They are all delicious snacks I prepared especially for you.
As long as you are interested, you can come to my country at any time to enjoy an unprecedented wonderful experience.
Here, no matter what you want to do or what you want to get, you will get it immediately.”
"Delicious snacks? What do you mean?" Zuo Si asked meaningfully.
"Anything is fine."
Talona winked playfully, then kissed her chosen one affectionately on the cheek, then turned to the goddess of abuse and said, "I want the three priesthoods of decay, parasites, and aging, and the rest are yours."
"Are you sure? You should know that the potential of the two priesthoods of Dusk and Autumn is equally huge."
An undisguised look of ecstasy appeared on Lauviatta's face.
"Of course! When it comes to priesthood, the more the better. Instead, it has to suit oneself and produce a self-consistent logic and philosophy. Otherwise, Xirik's crazy behavior is the best negative example."
While speaking, Talona raised her hand and waved it, absorbing the three priesthoods she needed into her body.
Now, she is only one priesthood of death away from her ultimate goal of becoming a complete body.
"You are talking without any pain in your waist."
Lovita complained with a slightly jealous tone, and then took all the remaining priesthoods into her pocket.
moment!
Her pupils lost focus, and the inside of her eyes kept spinning and flickering like the starry sky.
Needless to say, this is an attempt to integrate the existing clergy into a new philosophy and doctrine.
But this is obviously not an easy task.
Perhaps the two ministries of attrition and fatigue can easily be integrated into pain, injury, suffering, torment, suffering and torture.
But it is difficult to have a close connection with dusk and autumn.
After struggling for a long time, the sadistic goddess finally spat out the two priesthoods of dusk and autumn from the divine spark, and cursed with resentment: "Damn it! I can't master these two priesthoods in my current state."
Zuo Si kindly reminded us: “Both dusk and autumn represent, to some extent, the coming darkness, death, and the end of life.
Perhaps you can start from this aspect and slowly integrate them into your own philosophy and teachings.
If I remember correctly, your clerics gain their spells by praying in the morning and evening.
Now if we remove the morning prayer part and add a special meaning to the evening, then the evening priesthood should be able to be integrated to some extent.
As for the fall, it can be associated with the upcoming winter, and by extension pain, suffering, and misery.
In terms of clergy and inclinations, the winter goddess Auril should be your most suitable natural ally.
After all, for mortals, the longer and colder the winter lasts, the greater the pain, suffering, and misery they endure.”
"You said it very well! Why didn't I think of it?"
不过她没有急着再一次去吸纳秋季和黄昏两个神职,而是将其放下径直走到近前,舔着诱人的红唇说道:“难怪那么多神都渴望能得到你。塔洛娜更是在发现你的瞬间就降下化身,不惜一切代价让你成为了她的选民。”
“您过奖了。我只是提供了一些微不足道的浅薄见解和思路,仅此而已。”
左思单手抚胸略微欠了欠身,一如既往表现出了谦虚的美德。
“呵呵,这可不是什么浅薄的见解和思路,至少对于我来说非常重要。作为回报,我决定赐予你一件神器。给,拿去吧,希望你能喜欢它。”
说着,劳薇塔凭空用神力塑造了一根有三个分叉且满是荆棘倒刺的长鞭,塞进左思的手中。
后者握住鞭子的瞬间,脸上顿时露出哭笑不得的表情。
因为这件神器实在是太奇葩了,让他完全不知道该如何评价。
【劳薇塔的奖励】
神器 +5长鞭 鞭子末端的三个分叉,其中两个是额外附带火焰、寒冷伤害,最后一个则是可以缓慢治愈鞭挞所产生的一切伤害。
凡是被这根鞭子抽中的人,都可以根据自身选择,暂时提升任意一项基础属性三到六点。
每次抽打都可以选择一次,但同一属性不能反复迭加、只会取最高值。
强化后的属性在伤口彻底愈合之前都会一直生效。
除此之外,被鞭子击中后还有一定概率获得狂暴、高等加速、治疗、移除诅咒和疾病、体型增大、免疫精神控制、魔法驱散、防护负能量伤害、元素抵抗等随机额外增益和防护效果。
总之,这玩意根本不是用来抽敌人的,而是用来抽自己和身边同伴的。
劳薇塔的奖励这个名字也的确相当贴切,充分体现了虐待女神的特点。
而且造成伤害越大、被打的人感觉越痛苦,效果往往也就越好。
可唯一的问题是,在战场上拿着这玩意往自己身上或是身边的同伴身上抽,怎么看都给人一种不正经的感觉,羞耻感简直原地爆炸。
知道的是在加buff,不知道的还以为有什么特殊嗜好呢。
更重要的是,如果原本没有,可结果抽着、抽着抽出特殊嗜好怎么办? 左思可不希望自己成为一个像日记本那样彻头彻尾没有下限的变态。
所以虽然收下了这件“特殊”的神器,但他却并没有使用的打算,至少自己肯定是不会用的。
离开塔洛娜的国度,左思迅速返回位于阿斯卡特拉的法师塔。
结果才刚走出传送之间,就看到维尔梅斯趴在一个巨大无比的财宝堆上疯狂打滚,那架势就跟兴奋过头的“二哈”没什么区别。
在这条雌性炼狱红龙的身边,老老实实趴着好几个已经被彻底打服、打残的白龙、黑龙、绿龙、蓝龙和红龙,还有一条散发着邪恶阵营红光的黄铜龙。
除此之外还有一些霜巨人、丘陵巨人、巨魔、兽人、豺狼人、大地精等被俘虏的怪物,以及一些高大健壮的野蛮人战士。
毫无疑问,这些家伙都是跟随希瑞克信徒一起走出深山老林,妄图对路斯坎发动攻击将其毁灭的家伙。
怖狼地精用沉重的锁链跟镣铐,将他们一个接一个的锁起来,然后通过鞭打、折磨和言辞上的羞辱,不断摧残着其肉体、精神与意志。
一些崩溃的家伙甚至趴在地上失声痛苦,恳求对方能给自己一个痛快。
但遗憾的是,怖狼地精接受的可是正规斯巴达式的残酷军国主义教育,怎么可能会对敌人有哪怕一丁点的同情心。
所以这种主动求死的举动非但没有得到痛快的死亡,反而遭到变本加厉的凌虐,直至其彻底变成一具只知道服从命令的行尸走肉。
唯有身为人类的野蛮人战士待遇稍微好一点。
因为怖狼地精不确定,自己的主人是否对这些同类有特殊安排。
但在亲眼目睹了其他怪物所承受从肉体到精神的恐怖摧残后,这群自诩无所畏惧的蛮族也着实被吓得不轻。
再加上饥饿与疲惫,一个个看起来都额外的敏感、紧张。
“主人,您可算是回来啦。”
魅魔萝莉突然从角落里飞奔出来,直接高高跃起来了个飞扑。
左思十分熟练的将其接住并在其额头上亲吻了一下,然后才笑着问:“如何,昨天晚上的行动达成预定效果了吗?”
阿托娜赶忙用力点了点头:“嗯!按照您的要求,我们把差不多整个西海岸所有城镇里的暗日神殿、神龛和有组织的教会统统连根拔起。
我更是亲手摧毁了他们在阿斯卡特拉城内的几个秘密据点,并将里边所有相关人士全部杀光。
不过其中有三个牵扯到了本地的贵族,后续处理起来可能会稍微有点麻烦。”
“没关系,直接让薇拉去处理就好。现阶段的任务就是使用一切手段,对希瑞克在凡间的教会和信徒予以毁灭性打击,让他彻底丧失在这片土地上的信仰根基。”
说罢,左思把怀里的魅魔萝莉放回到地上。
“哦,差点忘了,这两本重要的书还没有交给您呢。”
阿托娜赶忙从随身携带的背包里取出《希瑞克经》和《希瑞克真传》。
左思二话不说,先是打开后者从头到尾阅读了一遍,这才敢接过前者仔细检查。
搞清楚其神力和神职运作的原理之后,他不由得微微感叹道:“果然是高等神器呢。
只可惜除了希瑞克本人之外,它对于其他任何凡人乃至神都没有半点用处。
正好,等过几天召开众神会议,这本书可以成为一件至关重要的罪证。”
“哈哈哈哈! 索斯!
你猜猜看我昨天晚上抢到了多少财宝?
它们的价值多到超乎你的想象! 这里有散提尔堡积累了数百年的财富!
还有这群蠢龙巢穴内的金子、宝石跟魔法物品!
发财了! 这一次真的是发财了!”
维尔梅斯一边狂笑,一边用爪子将大把贵重金属货币跟宝石扔向半空,从上到下呈现出一种“脑干缺失的快乐”。
“你先别急着高兴。告诉我,我交代给你的任务都完成了吗?”左思收起两本神书抬起头质问道。
维尔梅斯不假思索的用力点了点头:“那是当然! 我连续传送了十几次,对整个费伦大陆范围内所有暗日信徒的疯狂行径进行了无差别屠戮。
相信那些亲眼见识过我毁灭性力量的人,应该已经记住维尔梅斯这个响亮的名字。
用不了多久,我就会赢得巨大的名声跟令人敬畏的绰号。
并且在未来几百年、几千年时间里,成为所有凡人恐惧的对象。”
一提起这种事情,这条炼狱红龙的神经就立马变得兴奋起来,并且不断扇动巨大的翅膀掀起一阵狂风。
每当她做出这个动作,周围那些被打服的恶龙也会随之低下头,生怕因为表现的不够恭敬而遭到殴打。
“干得不错。”
听到维尔梅斯有好好干活,左思脸上浮现出满意的表情。
他并不介意这家伙贪财、残忍、暴虐之类的小毛病,只要在关键时刻听话、能做事就行。
“关于这些抢来的财宝,你打算怎么分?”
维尔梅斯把硕大的脑袋凑到近前小心翼翼的试探。
“按照老规矩一人一半。我那半直接折算成魔法物品和宝石就好。”
说完这句话,左思便挥了挥手示意炼狱红龙让开,径直走向那些俘虏的面前。
要知道在无底深渊三重领域那场与格拉兹特手下恶魔军团的战争中,他手头大部分的召唤生物都已经被消耗掉了,眼下基本都躺在墓地里等待复活。
尤其是卡牌等级比较高的生物,至少也要半个月、一个月乃至更长时间才能恢复。
因此他迫切需要补充一些卡牌,以应对接下来可能爆发的战斗。
没有任何犹豫!
左思直接给自己加了一个扩音魔法,然后冲这些怪物、野蛮人和龙直截了当的说道:“我给你们一个机会!一个向我宣誓效忠的机会!记住,这个机会只有一次,一旦错过就不再有了。现在,愿意的请主动站出来。”
瞬间!
整个巨大的龙巢内鸦雀无声。
无论是巨龙也好,还是那些怪物也罢,又或者是野蛮人战士,都没有立刻做出反应,而是你看看我、我看看你,明显有些迟疑。
Finally, an evil male adult brass dragon stood up, prostrated himself on the ground in an extremely humble manner, and said respectfully: "Great master, I, Kurremos, swear allegiance to you and am willing to obey every order you give."
"Very good! Now I allow you to transform into a humanoid form and stand behind me."
Zuo Si gave the first order to this giant metal dragon that had fallen into the evil camp for unknown reasons.
The latter had obviously recognized who the young human standing in front of him was, and without saying a word he chose to do as he was told, eventually transforming into the appearance of a half-elf male.
"Anyone else?"
Zuo Si glanced at all the captives and asked loudly again.
But the result is still silence.
Except for the brass dragon named Kurremos, the other monsters and dragons all lowered their heads in silence, and no one knew what they were thinking.
After realizing that asking further would yield no results, he raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a chilling smile: "Well, that's enough for surrender. Next is how to deal with the enemy. Remember, I gave you a chance. Dire Wolf! Infect all humanoid creatures with the beast curse."
As the last word came out of their mouths, the dire wolf goblins immediately rushed forward, using their claws or teeth to tear non-fatal wounds on all the human captives.
When the last unlucky guy was also infected, Zuo Si took out the card hidden in his palm and directly transformed it into a real object.
The next second...
Crash!
Black oil gushed out from the huge container, instantly submerging most of the captives, including monsters, dragons, and barbarians.
"No!!!!!!!!!"
"Damn it! What the hell is this thing?"
"It... they are eating away at my body!"
"Ahhhhhhhh! Get out! Get out now!"
"Devil! This guy is an out-and-out devil!"
…
Countless captives who were smart enough went completely crazy and began to struggle frantically in the black and sticky oil.
Others spewed various breaths from their mouths, or used their innate spell-like abilities to try to stop Shuoyou from approaching.
But unfortunately, all these efforts were in vain.
After a while, all living things began to inevitably "perfect".
In order to ensure that Shuoyou had enough metal to transform it, Zuo Si also poured out a large amount of metal collected in the Mirrodin time and space from a suitcase.
Soon, the skin of some monsters began to fall off, revealing the bright red muscles and blood vessels inside.
Soon after, the metal part replaced the skin to cover the outer layer, and at the same time, the heart was gradually replaced by the completed fuel engine.
The horrifying transformation scene was so frightening that not only the brass dragon who had just surrendered, Kurremos, was almost frightened to death, but even the usually courageous Wilmes kept swallowing his saliva out of nervousness.
Especially during the transformation process without anesthesia, the degree of pain has long exceeded the limit that normal creatures can endure.
The heart-wrenching screams and wails even reached the surface through the Mage Tower, frightening the civilians passing by.
After about half an hour, the wailing finally stopped completely.
I saw several giant steel dragons, which were nearly one or two times larger than the original ones, standing in the open space, lowering their heads to show obedience to the master of the sparkling oil.
Behind and beside them, kneeling densely, were a large group of humanoid creatures also covered in metal.
At first glance, it looks like an army composed of metal constructs or mechas.
Zuo Si unceremoniously sealed it with a card and recovered all the remaining oil on the ground.
After he finished all this, he turned his head contentedly and said to the brass dragon beside him: "Congratulations, you made an extremely correct choice, otherwise you would be the same as them now."
"What...what were those black greases just now?"
Kurremos asked in a slightly trembling voice.
He simply couldn't believe that there was such a terrifying and dangerous thing in this world that could forcibly transform so many dragons and countless monsters into half-flesh, half-inorganic puppets in such a short period of time.
“Haha, don’t worry, they’re just some small things.
Now let's talk about you.
If you don't mind, can you tell me how you, a naturally good-aligned metallic dragon, fell to the evil alignment?"
Zuo Si looked at the brass dragon with interest.
Despite many people's perception, chromatic dragons are generally evil, while metallic dragons are generally good.
But this is not always the case.
There are also a few cases where chromatic dragons are good-aligned and metallic dragons are evil-aligned.
Among them, the brass dragons are eloquent and like to take advantage of others. They often slip from chaotic good to chaotic evil or neutral evil if they are not careful.
"I accidentally killed my sister while fighting for a gem. Then, when my mother attacked in a rage, I accidentally killed her while trying to protect myself. Finally, I had to flee to the uninhabited north and hide."
Kurremos used very simple language to say something that contained a lot of information.
"You killed your sisters? And then your own mother? In the name of Tiamat! Are you sure you are a brass dragon, not a red one?"
Wilmes opened his mouth in shock.
She swore that even a red dragon as cold, cruel, and tyrannical as herself would rarely be so cruel as to commit kin-killing.
What’s even more terrifying is that the other party can say it in an almost victim-like tone.
Wilmes's words undoubtedly deeply stimulated Kurremos, causing his eyes to turn red and his whole body to be filled with visible anger and madness, as if he might pounce on the enemy and fight to the death at any time.
But in the end, he chose not to do that.
It’s not that I don’t want to, but I really can’t beat him.
The size of the two in dragon form differs by several times.
The Brass Dragon is like a child who has not grown up in front of the Infernal Red Dragon and does not have the strength to fight against it at all.
After finally suppressing his anger, Kurremos gritted his teeth and roared, "I told you! It was an accident! I just wanted to grab that beautiful cat's eye stone! But my mother didn't even ask me, and rushed over to kill me when she saw my sister's body.
What can I do? Let her kill me?
No! I don't want to die yet, so I can only explain while resisting.
But who knew that when flying over a steep cliff, a huge rock suddenly rolled down from the cliff and broke my mother's neck and head..."
"And then you inherited all your mother and sisters' property with tears in your eyes, and fled to the Spine of the World in the north to hide alone?"
Zuo Si interrupted the brass dragon's self-defense with a smile.
At this moment, his eyes were flashing with a blue light, and he was obviously reading the other person's thoughts and memories.
There is no doubt that Kurremos is not as innocent as he just said.
Just the opposite!
This is a typical "filial son dragon", and his "filial piety" is jaw-dropping...
