Chapter 2
"you……"
Ronaldo was sweating profusely and was hesitant to speak.
Hughes didn't notice Ronaldo's reaction because the little guy next to him nudged his palm and he looked down again.
In Zeus's eyes, a black-haired kitten ran out of Ronaldo's sleeves.
It looked somewhat like his older son, and immediately reminded him of his own older son.
Xius looked at the kitten and couldn't help but say, "I have a lot of them too."
What, what!
Ronaldo's pupils trembled violently and he took a step back.
Abyss Demons... Raised a lot of them?! Who is he?
Ronaldo quickly realized that black hair and black eyes were not naturally formed human characteristics, but were mostly formed after being infected by the abyss. In other words, this young man was related to the abyss?
No, just saying it's related to the abyss can't explain this scene at all!
Ronaldo watched helplessly as his contracted demon behaved like a neighborhood cat or dog in front of the black-haired young man, stretching its head and tilting its neck, trying to please the young man like a pet.
This has never happened before!
Could it be... that he is a Lord of the Abyss? His contracted demon has the status of a viscount, but in front of the Lord of the Abyss, he can only behave like a pet?
When did Xilin start dealing with the Lord of the Abyss!
Ronald was sweating profusely.
The Lord of the Abyss is a terrifying existence that can challenge the gods. If he is unhappy, he can destroy a human country.
If the other party is the Lord of the Abyss, he must not receive him like this.
You must be friendly, yes, and never let the other party feel the slightest bit dissatisfied!
Ronaldo's thoughts changed drastically in a few seconds, and he quickly put away the surprise on his face.
When Hughes looked up again, he saw a face that was trying to remain calm.
The old soldier was trying to force a friendly smile from the corner of his mouth, when the alarm sounded outside.
[A-level abnormal alarm, A-level abnormal alarm, residents please evacuate as soon as possible! The Goddess of Harmony protects all residents at home]
When Ronal heard the alarm, he immediately knew that it was a subspace attack. Without caring about anything else, he quickly grabbed the black cat and said, "Mr. Isius, I'm very sorry, there's something going on outside."
"good."
Xius blinked and followed Ronaldo's back to the door.
Outside, the ground was covered with snow, the cold wind was howling, and faint sounds of destruction could be heard.
The quality of the imperial soldiers is really high. They will rush to the scene first when something happens.
Zeus has only been resurrected for a few days and is slowly learning the common sense of this world.
The alarm just now should be a magician's wide-area magic. The technology in this world has not yet reached the level of inventing radio, but it should be soon.
"A-level abnormal warning, city-destroying level, second only to S-level in terms of country-destroying level. Something big might have happened outside. Mr. Ronald, as a soldier, must rush to the scene as soon as possible."
Xiusi was worried but there was nothing he could do. He was just an ordinary person who had just been resurrected. Although he was a time traveler and had the title of a hero, he could not do anything now. Let alone an A-level monster, even if he was given an E-level monster, he might not be able to defeat it.
The [Creator] channel is very useless, and the main body is extremely weak. Compared with other heroes' [Berserker] channel, it is simply incomparable. Other heroes can kill level 10 monsters at level 1, but he is still playing in the mud at level 1, and can only barely shape his big cub at level 3.
It is said that everyone has his own destiny and duties, but isn't his path too difficult? The great magician who disguised this world as a game must have miscalculated the numbers and didn't even give him a normal game character!
Regardless of what is happening outside, the military and city defense forces of the Os Empire are very strong. Even if an A-level anomaly attacks, they should be able to deal with it smoothly. The power of mankind today is different from the past. It is no longer a weak race trembling under the threat of the race created by the gods.
As soon as Hughes lowered his head, he heard the alarm being lifted.
【Class A anomaly under control】
"So fast?"
Xius turned his head and glanced at the floor clock next to him. It was less than three minutes.
After all, this is the imperial city of the Oss Empire. If we can't even protect the imperial city, how can we resist those god-created races that are out to destroy the world?
The human camp is really getting better and better.
Xius nodded, feeling relieved, and went back to look at the history book.
The great magician summoned heroes from another world to save the world. This major historical event has been recorded in great detail.
There are only a few words about him...the brave "Xius".
"Seven heroes each performed their duties and set out on a journey to save the world. During this time, one of the heroes fell into the abyss and disappeared, looking at a grave danger."
Look, there's not even a name.
Hughes recalled the past and said to himself, "I really don't have any records. But why didn't that person record anything either?"
The guy in the [Berserker] channel was the strongest player among them back then. It’s normal that someone like him who had no sense of existence was not recorded, but why aren’t there many records about that person?
Just a few words - "Lost in the Warp."
Hughes was a little confused. Where was the magnificent adventure before? Maybe the book didn't explain enough?
After all, this book is just an ordinary popular science history book. It is impossible to cover everything, and it is even more impossible to describe every person clearly like a biography.
However, seeing that my past experiences have actually become a chapter in history books, this feeling... I really don’t know how to describe it.
Humanity has been rising since his death, and has prospered even more after forming an alliance with the demons of the abyss. He, on the other hand, fell into the dark abyss, struggled and fought, but ultimately fell before dawn.
"…Have I contributed to the rise of mankind?"
Hughes thought back to those days and felt that he had not yet started to make any contribution when he was sent out. How could he be considered to have made any contribution? He felt deeply moved and continued to read on.
After the end of the Age of Gods, the heroes each chose a country to rule and served as the guardians of the human country to fight against the monsters of the subspace.
To this day, one of the heroes is still active in the world, and the whereabouts of the others are unknown.
The brave man who is still active in the world is called "Logger".
"Why is it Roger?"
Xiuston paused, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
As far as I can remember, this guy was a few years younger than him, called him Brother Xiu, and was the second-best player after him. If his initial combat power was only 1, then Luo Jie's combat power was 2.
How come this pair of brothers, who were in the worst situation, managed to survive to the end?
Today, Roger's status is unparalleled among humans. Human kings and emperors have to be polite to him. In Roger's heyday, with just one word from him, kings and emperors would even move their imperial capitals. I don't know if this statement is an exaggeration, but it seems to be the case.
Xius couldn't imagine that his laughing brother back then now held supreme power.
But perhaps... thousands of years have passed, and the Roger he was familiar with has become a different person.
After a moment's silence, Xiusi looked a little sad, and the scenes of their adventures together in the past emerged in his mind.
Besides Roger, he also thought of his children. Thousands of years had passed, and even if his children were still alive, they might have forgotten him.
"Baal, Agares, Vassago..."
Xiusi recited silently, his eyes feeling slightly sore.
Back then, when he was creating his first child, he was thinking about what name to give him. After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly had an idea and thought of "The Key of Solomon".
The seventy-two demons each had a name and characteristics. He thought it was feasible, so he referred to the description in the Key of Solomon and shaped each of them.
The eldest is called Baal, the second is called Agares...
When Baal was just born, he had not yet fallen into the abyss. In order to raise Baal well, he got resources everywhere.
Xius thought for a while and turned his attention to his children.
Baal, Agares... He wasn't too worried about the older ones, and felt they should have no problem surviving.
He was worried about the fragile and crybaby ones, such as Eliog who always liked to stick to him.
It was clearly written in the setting that it has the power to dominate the war, be strong and powerful, and be calm and composed. However, what was created was a confused and weak cub, with short arms and legs, and it was afraid of being eaten by monsters if it got lost for a minute.
"It must be that my creation skills are insufficient."
He opened the game panel and saw that the creation atlas was still gray.
"We have to find a way to activate the game panel."
Xius brows were furrowed and his eyes were serious.
When he thought about his children shivering in the dark abyss without help after his death, he felt heartbroken!
-
At the same time, voices of conversation were heard from the ruins in the suburbs.
"How could the great magic protecting the imperial city be broken?"
"That monster from the subspace is too cunning. Fortunately, General Ronal is nearby, otherwise we wouldn't have caught it so quickly."
"Yes," the speaker turned his head and asked curiously, "General Ronald, what's wrong with you?"
Ronaldo looked up immediately, a look of surprise flashing across his resolute face.
What happened? He was still thinking about the young man who looked like the Lord of the Abyss!
His contracted demon is fierce and powerful, there is no way he could be so intimate with an ordinary person!
That attitude is definitely the attitude towards Gaoge's existence, which means that the young man is most likely the Lord of the Abyss!
But he didn't understand what Priest Xilin was thinking.
Did Priest Xilin take the initiative to invite the Lord of the Abyss to the Imperial City, or was Priest Xilin controlled by the Lord of the Abyss?
No, that's not right. Ronal was sweating profusely, thinking, the key point of the problem should be why the other party came to the imperial city?
Thinking of this, he suddenly looked up and hurriedly asked the people around him, "Has the Third Legion returned to the city?"
"The Third Legion?"
The young man in military uniform was thinking in his heart. Suddenly he raised his eyes, looked at the magic airship in the distance and said in surprise: "It's almost time, General Ronal, the Third Legion has returned triumphantly from the warp expedition!"
Ronal's face turned pale, and he turned to look at the steel airship that was rushing to the imperial city. He said almost silently, "Oh no, the Abyss Lords don't like each other, and the commander of the Third Legion just happens to have a contract with an Abyss Lord."
I'm afraid something big is going to happen!
-
At the same time, high in the sky, deep in the dim room.
Someone suddenly opened his eyelids, revealing a pair of emerald green pupils.
He seemed to hear a very nostalgic voice calling his name.
——"Eriorg."
Eliog was stunned.
That voice reminded Him of His birth.
The first time He gained form and wisdom in the dark abyss, He saw the face of a young man.
With just one glance, He knew that the other was His Creator, His starting point, His destination, and His Father.
But suddenly one day, the other party disappeared, leaving behind him and other similar creatures.
“…I seem to hear my father’s voice.”
Eliog frowned, his green eyes slowly turned, and finally fixed on the Imperial City.
