This is the kingdom of Talona. At first glance, it looks almost like a temple of nature, with pristine and dense rainforests, forests, swamps, mountains and wilderness everywhere.
Countless animals and plants live and multiply here, forming one complex and ever-changing ecosystem after another.
But the difference is that the world of the cycle of all things is not a barren land, but there is civilization, and even cities and even kingdoms have been established in the areas with the richest resources.
Although they are still in a relatively primitive state in the eyes of modern people, they have used magic and biotechnology to transform some local large creatures with flying abilities and obtained aerial transportation tools in advance.
This means that the city-states and kingdoms are not isolated by geographical factors. Instead, trade and exchanges are extremely prosperous, and the overall style is very strange.
However, only those who live in this country know that the most distinctive feature of the world of living things is the ubiquitous and highly active microorganisms, including fungi, bacteria and viruses.
The bodies of any dead organisms will be quickly decomposed by them and then return to the ecological cycle as nutrients.
In addition, in those sparsely populated jungle swamps, various organisms carrying highly toxic substances, bacteria, fungi and viruses are fighting and devouring each other in a very cruel way, and evolving together in a more deadly direction.
Some plane merchants even came here at great risk just to obtain those legendary poisonous creatures that could instantly kill even ancient dragons.
At this moment, Zuo Si was standing in the most mysterious Death Swamp in the kingdom, admiring with interest the large and small Catachan barking toads from the Warhammer universe in the distance, with an interested expression on his face.
Because they are no longer the most primitive version, but super magical creatures that have evolved at least dozens of times under the influence of Talona's divine power. They are truly biological nuclear bombs.
Especially the giant barking toad, the impact range has expanded from the original one kilometer to the current seven or eight kilometers, and the toxin will continue to spread outward with the air flow and water, which is basically equivalent to a nuclear warhead with terrible radioactive contamination.
The most powerful of them is the King Toad, an absolute divine creature. Even gods who are immune to poison would be severely injured if they were hit by it.
The only regret is that this kind of King Toad is not something that can be mass-produced, so Zuo Si only caught some and made them into summoning creature cards for use in case of emergency.
[Creature Card: Barking Toad - King Toad Group (150)]
[LV25 Black Card (Cannot be upgraded)]
[Card Quality: Precious]
[Effect: Summon a group of super divine toads native to the planet Catachan.
On average, the destructive radius of each explosion exceeds twenty kilometers, melting all matter within the affected area into liquid, and can instantly severely damage or even destroy the incarnation of weak divine power.
They can cast invisibility three times and greater teleportation once a day, and can enter the battlefield in an instant.
Note that while the King Toad can understand force and obey simple commands, it is still a very easily startled creature.
Once frightened, they will immediately start to explode uncontrollably one after another.
[Using this card requires 500 black mana or 500 universal mana, and 1,000 divine power or divine-like power]
[When all summoned King Toads die, this card will automatically enter the cemetery and wait for rebirth for 400 days]
There is no doubt that the terrifying lethality and destructive power of this creature can be felt just from the text description on the card.
Although its visual effect and killing range may not be comparable to that of a super bomb like the whirlwind fish, which can completely burn all the creatures and environment on the surface of a planet with one shot, it cannot be compared with a star destroyer cannon that can blow an entire planet into pieces with one shot.
But its real advantage lies in its absolute destruction within the effective killing radius, and its versatility in that it can still function stably even in the magic world.
Even gods and their incarnations would suffer severe damage, not to mention other creatures.
This is why Zuo Si, who already has many powerful weapons, still attaches so much importance to the Catachan Barking Toad.
"How is it? Are you satisfied with the King Toad I trained?"
Talona, who was wearing a dark green low-cut dress, asked with a doting smile on her face.
"Very satisfied, even better than I imagined. It seems that your place is the perfect breeding ground for the continuous evolution of this barking toad."
Zuo Si gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.
After all, when he sent these big toads here, he just hoped to use the goddess's priesthood to strengthen them, and it would be best if they could gain some magical abilities.
But who could have imagined that in such a short period of time, there would be such a powerful weapon as "Wang Chan".
Moreover, other giant toads and small toads have also gained the ability to cast spells, whether it is invisibility or teleportation, which makes their already terrifying toxicity even more terrible.
Just imagining the spectacular scene of these barking toads of all sizes suddenly appearing among the enemy through teleportation magic and self-destructing, the corners of Zuo Si's mouth would rise uncontrollably.
He even figured out how to use the spark oil to refine it, eventually turning it into a super biochemical weapon with the abilities of invisibility, teleportation, high-speed movement and jumping.
"In that case, how are you going to thank me?"
Talona threw her arms around her constituent's neck, and both her tone and attitude were full of temptation and suggestion.
"I think we might need a room right now, and a bed big enough for it."
Having said that, Zuo Si certainly knew what he should do.
Anyway, the two of them have been maintaining this kind of relationship for a long time.
"Haha, I like your straightforwardness."
Talona smiled, raised her hand and snapped her fingers.
moment!
A house made entirely of wood and vines appeared out of nowhere. Inside was not only a spacious and soft bed, but also many clothes and supplies to add interest.
In just a few seconds, the goddess changed into a translucent black silk bodysuit, pushed Zuo Si down and rode on him.
This unknown intimate interaction lasted for about several hours.
By the time it was over, it was already evening outside. The golden sunset shone into the wooden house through the window, making everything around look so romantic and beautiful.
After finishing his work, Zuo Si was now dressed neatly and stood at the window as usual, looking out into the distance and admiring the beautiful sunset.
Talona also changed into her original dark green dress and lay on the bed in a lazy and contented manner, holding her chin and asking with interest: "I heard that you have encountered some troubles recently? And you killed an incarnation of Gruumsh?"
“Well, yes.
In fact, all of this should have been instigated by Shar, the goddess of the night.
She seemed to be planning something big, so she was afraid that I would find out and expose her in advance like before, so she deliberately brought all my past enemies together.
As for Gruumsh...
I already had a score to settle with him, so I just happened to take care of it together.”
Zuo Si did not hide anything and expressed his thoughts openly.
Because in Faerun, the two gods who have the closest relationship with him are Oghma, the god of knowledge, and Talona.
The former, because they have similar thoughts, ideas and values, often discuss together certain knowledge and philosophies from other time and space.
A lot of fragmented and unsystematic magical knowledge was sorted out with the help of Oghma, who even developed blue oil that can store information and technology.
The latter finally gains recognition by expressing love again and again regardless of cost and at any price.
After all, Talona has never been absent at the most critical moments.
"Sha'r?"
A hint of strong hostility flashed in the goddess' eyes, and then she said in an uncertain tone: "I heard that she seemed to have been to the Temple of Nature recently and had contact with Silvanus, the Father of Oak."
"Oh? Could it be that this guy wants to drag the God of Nature into this?"
Zuo Si was obviously stunned for a moment.
Although to some extent, Silvanus could be considered his enemy, the fight between the two sides was always maintained within a certain range and they did not really break off completely.
To be precise, the two sides are fighting for the right to define nature.
The Oak Father believed that nature was wilderness and forest, a place that was not interfered with by any civilization.
This can be seen from his priesthood and the areas he controls.
But Zuo Si's view is exactly the opposite. He believes that nature is a series of changes in the complex climate, magnetic field, ecology, etc. of the entire planet.
Things like cutting down trees, hunting animals, polluting and destroying the environment are not a big deal for a planet.
Even the worst case scenario is that the organisms that rely on this environment will become extinct on a large scale, and then species that can adapt to the new environment will quickly rise to fill the ecological niche.
Compared with the insignificant impact that intelligent life can cause, what is truly terrifying is the horrific ecological extinction caused by the "version update" and the horrifying ice age.
In this regard, just look at how many biological explosions and mass extinctions the Earth has experienced since the birth of life to understand how small and fragile the so-called civilization was before entering the interstellar age.
Even the history of the continent of Faerun has experienced such situations several times.
The most famous is the decline and extinction of the creator race.
And this was only tens of thousands of years ago.
Most importantly, Silvanus's over-protection of wilderness and forests has seriously affected the development of civilization, and even prevented people from logging, grazing, and reclaiming new land.
That's why Zuo Si uprooted its influence in the West Coast Empire.
The Druid sects under his command either converted or were ruthlessly exterminated.
But that’s all.
The conflicts and contradictions neither crossed the line nor escalated further.
Most importantly, like Oghma, the god of knowledge, Silvanus' influence is not limited to Faerûn, but is spread across multiple planes.
This means that he will not put all his energy here, and will rarely get involved in high-risk conspiracies.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it. Once Silvanus takes any action, you will definitely get the information at the first time."
The expression on Talona's face suddenly became serious.
Because she is competing with the Oakfather for the title of "Goddess of Nature".
If successful, the latter's influence in the Crystal Wall of Toril will fall from great power to medium power, and will no longer pose a threat to Talona.
"Thank you very much."
Zuo Si looked obviously very relaxed, not worried at all that Silvanus might come down and join in.
After all, the more ancient and powerful the gods are, the more wary and distant they will be from Shar.
Talona got up from the bed and walked to the window. She gently pressed her whole body on Zuo Si's back and stood on tiptoe to whisper in his ear: "What are you going to do next to deal with these guys who took the initiative to provoke a war?"
"I am going to visit Corellon and Moradin to try to forge an alliance against the orcish pantheon.
Then he went to visit Bane and worked together to set a trap to make Magnubiye his servant.
In other words, the strategy is to adopt a tough suppression strategy against the Orc pantheon, and to adopt a strategy of threats and intimidation to force the Goblin gods to submit.
Without them, selfish gods like Lolth would quickly leave on their own.
As for Cyric...
I promise to make him look like a clown once again."
Zuo Si told his plan without turning his head.
"I just like the way you are always rational and calm no matter what situation you face, and you have more than one set of response plans."
After saying that, Talona opened her mouth and bit her ear lightly, leaving a few teeth marks. Then she smiled charmingly, and then her whole body became more and more transparent until she completely disappeared into the air.
Zuo Si was obviously accustomed to this, so he just chuckled and shook his head, then activated the planeswalker spark and left the goddess' kingdom.
However, what he didn't know was that in the huge palace located in the center of the entire plane, Talona's body was collecting the life essence containing genetic material and carefully integrating it with her own divinity and spiritual essence.
The moment the two sides came into contact, a dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire world of the cycle of all things.
Even the sun above seemed dim in comparison.
But the light came and went quickly, and it returned to its original state just a few seconds later.
However, the goddess in the palace, who originally had a slim and sexy figure, now had a slightly bulging belly, and her face was filled with the sacred maternal glow.
Seeing this, Lavetta couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you don't need to discuss this with Soth in advance?"
"Discuss? Why should we discuss?
It's not that he has no children. He has a daughter and another one is about to be born.
Even the fallen paladin is now pregnant.
Besides, I plan to give Soth a surprise."
Talona gently stroked her bulging belly and said as a matter of course.
Hearing this, the corners of Lavita's mouth twitched slightly, and she murmured, "Surprise? I think it's more like a shock.
You must know that you are now a member of the powerful divine power.
And they don't use incarnations or mortal bodies to give birth to offspring.
Rather, it is directly united with one’s own divine essence.
The offspring of Soth and mortal women are already so powerful, I can't even imagine what your offspring will be like.
Please don't create any terrible gods or ancient evil things."
When saying this, both Lovita's tone and eyes were full of worry.
But Talona responded nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. Soth is a planeswalker anyway. Even if it's a powerful evil god or an ancient evil creature, he can find a suitable place to accommodate it. And I think that he and I may be able to give birth to a pantheon together, just like the elven god Corellon."
"Giving birth to a pantheon? Are you crazy?"
Lovita stared at this good sister and main god with a slightly horrified look.
"Why not? You see, I have tried so hard to win over those natural gods, but in the end, I have achieved little success for so long.
In this case, why don't I give birth to my own offspring to expand the pantheon? With the power of Soth and I, we can use the spark of the planeswalker to expand the pantheon to the endless time and space of the entire multiverse."
Talona opened her arms as if she wanted to embrace something, and her whole body exuded a chilling ambition.
Of course, the main reason why she had such an idea was because of the arrival of the Phoenix God Bennu in Faerun.
This made the goddess realize that as long as she could get the help of the planeswalkers, it would be possible to expand her followers and influence across the universe.
Moreover, once they have settled down in different time and space, it doesn't matter even if they fail and are expelled from one or two worlds, and there is no need to worry about going to the astral realm to lie dead after death.
Because its sacred spiritual essence can still be transferred to other universes and continue.
"Damn it! You must not forget me about this kind of thing. I want a piece of the pie, too."
Lovita obviously realized the great opportunity contained therein, and her eyes revealed uncontrollable excitement. At the same time, she kept whipping herself with the whip in her hand, leaving bloody marks on the surface of her body.
You have to know that she usually only wears a black leather jacket similar to a sexy outfit, which can barely cover a few key parts, and large areas of skin are directly exposed to the air.
Especially the originally white and sexy back, which has a large number of iron rings embedded in the muscles, just to be able to be hung up with ropes when necessary to feel more pain.
"Of course I don't mind giving you a piece of the pie. But the prerequisite is that you have to prove your loyalty."
Talona reached out and gently stroked the beautiful and delicate face of her former good sister.
"No problem. I know what to do."
Lovita took up the other's right hand and placed it on her lips studded with sharp nails and kissed it gently, then bent down and bowed deeply.
This time, Lovita didn't make any sound, she just raised her head and revealed a pair of chilling eyes.
Obviously, in addition to the counter-plan formulated by Zuo Si, Talona obviously also has her own ideas, and Lavita is the executor of this idea.
After all, the goddess of abuse gets along very well with the beast goddess Mara, and Mara will definitely be used by Shar.
Therefore, the two sides will inevitably engage in a game around the Beast God Mara.
…
At the same time, far away in the kingdom of the Magic Goddess of the Heart of Spells, Midnight was enthusiastically reading through the magic knowledge that Zuo Si brought back from other time and space.
After a long while, she raised her head and asked Azuth, the god of mages: "How much of this knowledge do you think can be integrated into the magic network to make the magic of the world of Toril more colorful?"
"Um--
I think it is better to be conservative when it comes to modifying the underlying rules of the magic network.
You also know that Soth has used his abilities as a planeswalker to connect the major cities of the West Coast Empire to more than one level of spellcasting environment.
So even if you modify the underlying rules of the magic network, many mages will begin to try to learn and utilize these powers.
I personally recommend maintaining the status quo, waiting for more people to adapt to and get used to the multi-casting environment, and then directly let Soth help expand the coverage.
This will not only allow magic to flourish, but also ensure that losses can be stopped in time when problems arise."
Azus thought for a moment and gave his suggestion.
As the God of Mages who was promoted by the second generation Goddess of Magic, he was obviously well aware of the tragedy of the end of the Netheril era. It was precisely because the first generation Goddess of Magic was too indulgent to the arcanists, which fostered the ambitions and arrogance of these arrogant mortals.
Therefore, he has always been conservative about the left-wing idea of establishing a magical civilization that surpasses Netheril, neither opposing nor supporting it.
尤其是笼罩各大城市的超巨型魔法迷锁建立之后，那种全民都能够多少使用一些魔法力量的情况，以及奥术施法者们越来越大胆、越来越疯狂的研究，都让阿祖斯有一种莫名的担忧。
唯一值得庆幸的是，西海岸帝国是一个高度集权化的国家，并不像耐瑟瑞尔时代的奥术师那样以浮空城为中心建立起一个松散联盟，相互之间的关系都是平等且独立的。
恰好相反！
西海岸帝国内的施法者除了要遵守法律之外，还会受到奥法秘术会的直接控制。
几乎所有获得七环以上施法能力的奥术施法者都会接受考验成为其中的一员。
否则根本没办法获得那些最深奥的魔法知识，以及晋升传奇法师所必须的资源。
而奥法秘术会则是直接听命于左思本人，其核心成员无一例外都是交出了自己命匣的巫妖。
在这样的管理模式下，只要位于顶点的左思保持清醒，整个系统就不会出现什么太大的问题。
哪怕有几个不知死活的家伙想要搞点事情，也会被迅速镇压下去，绝不会出现卡尔萨斯篡夺魔网控制权这种离谱的事情发生。
“你的意思是……把这个权力交给索斯？”
午夜的语气中透露出一丝犹豫。
作为魔法之神和魔网的化身，她对于在费伦接入其他时空的施法环境并没有太大的排斥，也没觉得自己的权威受到挑战。
毕竟接种接入是双向的。
另外一边的施法者也会发现魔网的存在，并开始在其影响范围内学习和使用这股魔法力量。
所以接入魔网的使用者非但不是减少了，反而是大幅度的增加了。
最重要的是身为魔法之神，无论费伦大陆的施法者是使用魔网也好还是来自其他时空的魔法环境也罢，其最终结果都是提升了凡人整体上的施法者数量。
而施法者数量的大幅提升又会让各种跟魔法相关的发明创造变得越来越多，魔法女神的影响力也必然随之变得越来越大。
所以午夜才会在左思与第一选民伊尔明斯特的分歧与争斗中支持了前者。
阿祖斯显然知道自家主神的想法，面带微笑的解释道：“相信您应该很清楚，自从上次与那个自称黑暗维度领主多玛姆的存在交战过后，他就夺去了后者差不多一半的领地。
从很大程度上来说，索斯已经获得了神秘与魔法的本质。
现如今的他与您已经站在了同一高度。
所以您完全不必担心会发生失控的情况。
而且这样做有一个好处，那就是即便失败了您也可以站出来将危害降至最低。
毕竟您才是托瑞尔星球所在晶壁的魔法女神，必要的时候可以将这些外来的施法环境全部隔离乃至驱逐出去。”
午夜若有所思的点了点头：“好吧，你说的有道理，我会抽个时间跟索斯商量一下的。
对了，风暴之神塔洛斯还没有按照约定释放死灵魔法之神吗？
他可是明确答应过我在契约结束后就会释放杰比多·图兰来咒文之心。
这都已经过去多久了？”
在说这番话的时候，魔法女神的语气和态度都透露出强烈的不满。
“我已经派人去交涉了。相信风暴之神塔洛斯应该不会冒着得罪您的风险，继续扣押杰比多·图兰。最多几个星期，您就会获得一个新的从神。”
阿祖斯赶忙示意自家主神稍安勿躁。
尽管他也很同情这位莫名其妙就被推上神明宝座，而且刚成神就遭到塔洛斯这种疯狂且不讲道理的强大神力玩命压榨的半神，但却并不希望因此而爆发于狂怒众神之间的冲突。
“去告诉塔洛斯，我的忍耐并不是无限的。如果他继续扣押杰比多·图兰，那就是在侵犯我的领域，我保留采取一切行动的权力。”
午夜非常郑重其事的发出警告。
在托瑞尔星球所在晶壁中，没有人可以忽视神上神艾欧之下最强大魔法女神的态度。
因为只要她愿意付出足够的代价，绝对能让任何一个强大神力损失惨重，哪怕是最古老的夜之女神莎尔也不例外。
阿祖斯赶忙回应道：“请放心，我会把您的意思完整转达给风暴之神。不过相比起这件事情，我认为您应该更关注一下最近索斯与兽人主神之间爆发的冲突。”
可午夜却满不在乎的摆了摆手：“不用去管，格乌什和他的兽人神系还不足以对索斯造成什么实质性的威胁，真正需要盯紧的是莎尔。萨弗拉斯对此难道就没有什么预言吗？”
“抱歉，暂时还没有。
当然也有可能是他预见了什么，但却因为受到烦扰而无法搞清楚真相。
毕竟夜之女神掌握着假象、欺骗、隐秘等神职，非常克制萨弗拉斯的预言神力。”
阿祖斯脸上浮现出十分无奈的表情。
毕竟他当初还是凡人的时候就曾经击败了这位预言之神，甚至还将其囚禁在权杖中变成了一件神器。
两者在动荡之间结束后才达成和解，萨弗拉斯主动低头认输成为了法师之神的从神。
“预言受到了干扰？所以莎尔可能是真的在酝酿着什么巨大阴谋？”
午夜的眼神一下子变得警惕起来，随后将自己的意识投入到魔网之中，想要从上两代魔法女神的记忆中寻找线索。
要知道自从成为第三代魔法女神之后，她其实是很少去看前任的记忆，尤其是二代魔法女神那无比炸裂的混乱私生活，与某些小电影比起来有过之而无不及。
不过现在显然顾不了那么多了。
就在许多神明都注意到左思与格乌什之间冲突背后涉及到的复杂博弈时，远在科米尔王国首都——苏萨尔的一间民房内，一群头戴面罩、身穿皮甲或黑色长袍的人，正秘密的聚集到一起，向着悬挂在高处的巨大暗日标记祈祷，一个个眼神中都透露出不正常的狂热。
“赞美您！
伟大的谎言王子希瑞克！ 任何胆敢轻视您、反抗您的凡人都必死无疑！
我们在您无上的力量面前臣服，在您的教导下杀光弱者与伪善者！ 唯有您才是这世间唯一的真理！ 也唯有您才能赐予我们力量，让整个世界陷入无边的混乱与恐惧！”
……
不得不说，自从遭到众神群殴影响力一落千丈之后，那些仍旧信仰希瑞克的凡人非但没有清醒的迹象，反而变得比之前还要像个疯子兼神经病。
眼下在这个不为人知的隐秘祭坛前，赫然密密麻麻摆放着几十具血已经流干的尸体，并且从尸体的状态来看生前都遭受到了残忍的虐待跟折磨，简直比恶魔献祭还要丧心病狂，其中不乏十岁以下的儿童和刚刚出生的婴儿。
要知道谎言王子的教会在整个西海岸都是被明令禁止的邪教。
西海岸帝国甚至开出悬赏，只要抓住或杀死一个希瑞克的普通信徒就能获得五十枚金币的奖赏，举报者也可以获得一半。
至于像牧师、教会组织者的价钱就更高了，往往动辄数千乃至上万金币。
在这种悬赏力度下，他们基本没有什么生存空间。
但科米尔王国显然情况有些特殊。
一方面是传统的封建制度让王室很难把手伸进其他贵族的领地；
另外一方面则是雅卢赛尔成为摄政王之后，对一部分不老实的贵族进行了毫不留情的打压，甚至趁机把那些参与叛乱导致亚桑四世和自己姐姐死亡的贵族连根拔起。
这其中有不少趁乱逃走的家伙都对王室恨之入骨。
他们有的在远离城市的乡村占山为王、劫掠商队、与其他贵族联络准备发动一场席卷全国的叛乱，还有的则潜入王都利用家族过去的人脉网络在暗地里搞事情。
而这部分人中就有很多为了获取力量选择信仰了希瑞克。
因为这个疯子为了恢复力量，特别热衷参与这种制造混乱、杀戮和破坏的阴谋中。
只要感知属性合格就有很大概率会获得神术成为一名低级牧师。
很快，伴随着十几名贵族出身信徒的吟诵，那个暗日的标记突然活了过来，幻化成一名身材较瘦、尖嘴猴腮的人类男性身影。
他不是别人，正是降临化身的谎言王子。
一时之间，这群满怀愤怒和仇恨的信徒立马变得更加狂热，纷纷五体投地的匍匐在沾满鲜血的地面上恭迎神祇的降临。
“伟大的至上真神！请问有甚么我们可以为您效劳的吗？”为首的教会首领抬起头小心翼翼的询问道。
由于希瑞克的混乱天性，导致他压根没有一个统一的教会，而是分散成大大小小的山头相互竞争、相互敌视。
It is also because of this that it is almost impossible to eradicate its influence in the mortal world.
This middle-aged man in his early forties is the leader of this small underground church organization.
"Of course! I have a very, very important task for you."
Xirik grinned into a chilling, crazy smile.
"We listen to your teachings."
The man hurriedly lowered his head and kissed the lie prince's boots to show his obedience.
Xirik ordered bluntly: "As nobles of the Kingdom of Cormyr, you should all know that the current regent, Iron Princess Yalusel, is pregnant and about to give birth, right?
My task for you is simple: to spread rumors and provoke a war for the throne within Cormyr.
It would be best if all the nobles who were still loyal to Assan V started a rebellion.
I want to make this country a land of complete bloodshed and chaos."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately showed an ecstatic expression, and then clenched his fists and said, "We are very happy to obey your will. But the problem is that our family territory has been confiscated by Yalusel, and now it has little influence at all."
"Here, take this with you. It can induce the madness and dark side of a person's heart. You just need to put it next to the leader of the faction who is loyal to Assan V, and he will become the person we need in a very short time."
As he spoke, Xirik pulled out a gray metal brooch that emitted a strange glow from his pocket.
If anyone present used magical vision, they would immediately see the brilliant light emanating from above.
There is no doubt that this is an authentic artifact, made by him personally.
Unless they can get the protection of other gods, mortals will be unable to resist.
The middle-aged man hurriedly took the brooch with both hands, a bloodthirsty and cruel smile appeared on his face, as if he had seen the nobles of the entire Kingdom of Cormyr fighting for the right to inherit the throne.
Not long after, he and his men left the inconspicuous house and disappeared at the end of the empty alley at night.
Just as these mortal believers left, Shar appeared in front of Xirik and asked with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, you should be targeting another descendant of Soth, right?"
“Hahahahahaha!
That’s right!
I believe you have also felt the pure dark power in Yalusel's body.
This child has great potential.
If we can seize it, brainwash and control it, we can turn it into a sharp blade to use against Soth.
How about it, do you want to come and join in?"
Cyric extended the invitation, laughing like a madman.
"no thanks."
Shar decisively chose to refuse.
Although she is always trying to do something big, she is never a crazy god. Every decision she makes is carefully considered, knowing how serious the consequences of Xirik's behavior may be.
Especially the violent reaction that Zuo Si might have, just thinking about it makes people's scalp tingle.
"Really? That's a shame. I thought you would be very interested in this child."
Xirik put on a regretful expression.
Shar simply smiled and responded, "I am indeed interested in the child, but the risk of taking him is too high. And I don't think Thors would not arrange some security around his offspring."
"No, you are too cautious.
Just watch, I will announce my return to the whole world with a grand revenge.
Whether it's Soth, or those two bitches Midnight and Clemvor, they will pay the price for humiliating me before.
I will destroy what they value most! Make them feel pain!
Unforgettable pain! "
Xirik drew out the long sword hanging at his waist, put it against his face and gently drew a bloody mark horizontally.
In a flash!
The surface of the bloodstain was covered with densely packed symbols and words containing terrifying curses.
Ever since the disappearance of the God-Slaying Sword transformed from the God of Thieves Musk, he created this new artifact for himself and vowed to kill all enemies one day, even his temporary ally, the Goddess of Night Shar.
Shar did not make any comment on Xirik's self-mutilation. She just stood there with a mysterious smile.
The two gods stared into each other's eyes for a full minute before opening the portal and returning to their respective homes.
They obviously all knew that the other party was using them to achieve ulterior motives.
But what does that matter?
Especially Xirik, his real motive has always been very simple, which is revenge.
He didn't care at all how many people were killed or what kind of damage was caused in the process of revenge.
And what Shar wants is exactly this kind of reckless madness and neurosis.
Only in this way can the attention of Zuo Si and his allies be diverted, and she can release the nightmare snake Dendel in to devour the sun, restoring the entire crystal wall to its original state of darkness.
