There were still stains of blood on his cloak that had not yet dried.

Unlike the man who always smiled in front of Beatrice, he now had an inexplicable majesty on his face.

Just by standing in front of the troll, Robert and the other three behind the troll didn't dare to breathe.

It was not only because they knew that the visitor was the controller of the Cursed Legion, but also because they felt a cold murderous intent from the young man.

Even though the murderous intent was not directed at them, they still didn't dare to say a word.

"Reinforcements?" Louis looked at the three people behind him.

As the person in charge, Lan Kaide bowed his head and said, "Yes, Lord Louis, thank you for the Cursed Legion's help from a thousand miles away."

He felt that the oppressive feeling hanging over them had dissipated a lot.

The young man said calmly, "Okay, go and meet up with the people in your group. The war here is over."

"yes!"

…

After the three people left, Louis' eyes turned cold again.

It was different from the war on the Giant Plains.

Among the outsiders or local monsters that were cleared in the Giant Plains at that time, few were humanoid.

The shock he felt from killing the monster was far less than the shock from fighting the goblin.

After all, just because goblins are crazy doesn’t mean they are disfigured.

Their overall appearance is still very similar to that of humans.

It can even be said that if the wings behind them are excluded, they are just small humans.

The shock of killing a race similar to humans with his own hands, even if it was only for such a short time, made him smile less and feel more heavy.

Now he finally looks a bit like a battle-hardened veteran.

He walked straight into the depths of the Lockheed Empire camp.

It wasn't long before he met General Locke.

General Locke looked at him and said:

"Lord Louis~Sir..." He remembered that Louis's current identity had changed, and immediately changed his words, "This assault was really thanks to your help. No wonder Enser wanted to build the Cursed Legion as a backup against the Demon King. I watched your battle in the south from afar, and it was really..."

General Locke pondered for a moment and exclaimed, "It is truly divine and powerful."

Louis shook his head and said, "You are joking. I am just relying on the power of authority."

General Locke laughed and said, "The power of authority is also your ability. There is no need to be humble."

"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's discuss the situation first. Is the situation in your area the same as in the south and southwest?" Louis frowned and said, "There is something strange in the Golden Country."

Locke was silent for a moment and said, "Just as we calculated before, there is something wrong with the Golden Country itself."

The Golden Country is no longer considered the Kingdom of God.

Without the blessing of divine power, this is at most a half-plane.

Moreover, this demiplane is extremely closed and excludes all creatures except fairies.

The first time Louis saw the goblin, he instinctively felt that he was going to suffocate.

Succubi are a race of beings that can read the subconscious minds of others.

Although I can't read other people's minds, I can definitely feel other people's emotional changes.

Otherwise, so many people wouldn't love and hate it.

Simply put, if a succubus has not been infused by the will of the abyss into a human-shaped puff that only knows how to suck wildly, and has a little more intelligence, she can easily become the king of green tea.

There's nothing I can do about it, my innate instincts are just so outrageous.

But this succubus's talent made Louis very uncomfortable.

On the battlefield, he will not limit the use of this talent.

Because this talent can be modified into a killing feedback mechanism.

This feedback of emotions makes him invincible in close combat.

But the feedback the goblins gave him was simply mental pollution.

They are like a group of schizophrenic people.

Louis could smell the wails coming from their souls, like tormented souls trapped in the eighteen levels of hell and thrown into a frying pan and fried again and again.

But if you look more closely, you can see that the desperate wails are suppressed by another kind of unspeakable malice.

The malice was so clear that it was directed not at individuals, but at all living things.

The last time Louis saw this happen was when he was with the little swan.

At that time, the little swan was full of energy and vigor, with an attitude that said, "I have a clone and you will never be my opponent wherever I lie."

Later she cried like a baby and was even forced to use the magic "mechanical mind" to circumvent reality.

At that time, Louis could feel that the emotion coming from the little swan gradually changed from aggrieved to no emotion.

But as time went on, I began to alternate between feeling aggrieved and emotionless.

At that time he didn't understand why this happened, so he secretly asked the little swan.

Little Swan's response was that the mechanical mind could have blocked out useless emotions, but because the priority of the cardinal sin, lust, was too high, even if she strengthened it with the cardinal sin, laziness, it was quickly broken.

This is why there is a difference in emotional feedback.

Normally this only happens in mental illness.

Of course, in order to get this answer, Louis was bitten by the little swan as expected.

"You actually used the succubus's talent to cheat?!"

"How can it be called cheating? I just want you to be happy."

…

Thinking of the chaotic situation at that time, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Divert attention! He looked at Locke decisively: "Their mental state is not right, so after I cleared the south and southwest, I tried to enter the Golden Country."

"Have you discovered the problem with the Golden Country?" Locke pinched his brows and said, "There is a problem with the growth and death of the forest god."

Louis nodded and said, "I don't know if you can feel it, but after I went to the Golden Country, I could clearly feel that the existence of the Golden Country is essentially a seal, sealing a plane that I am very familiar with."

"Bottomless Abyss...right?!" General Locke activated a magic item to block out the sound and said calmly, "The Kingdom of the God of Growth and Forests is directly embedded in the passage between the Star Continent and the Abyss."

Louis said nothing.

Obviously, the Lockexi Empire's understanding of the fairies was deeper than he imagined.

This was not the first time Louis had seen the Kingdom of God embedding itself into a space channel.

The essence of this operation is exactly the same as that of Roland, the wizard who has inherited the demiplane from generation to generation and guards the passage to the Palace of Demons as a legendary wizard.

Of course, the Emperor did it too.

And do it even crazier.

One person pulled part of the underground area of ​​the Enther Empire, the space passage, and part of the abyss opposite the Abyss Gate into the demiplane.

But Louis really didn't expect that the god of growth and forests, who was said to be the origin of the elven pantheon, had actually done such a thing.

He hadn't noticed it before when he first entered the Golden Country.

But accompanied by a wave of doubts and calls that seemed like spiritual pollution, Louis, who was standing at the entrance to the Golden Country at that time, was completely confused.

The feeling was indescribable. It clearly carried a kind of spiritual pollution that he could not describe, but it also gave him an extremely intimate feeling.

Even in his trance, he thought he heard his family calling him and almost walked over subconsciously.

Fortunately, he had a strong will and suppressed that feeling.

At that moment, he understood what the sound coming from deep in the Golden Country was.

No matter how the seven deadly sins are united by the order of the Star Continent, one thing must be acknowledged, that is, the source of the seven deadly sins is the Abyss.

Only in the soil where endless sins collide with each other can the seeds of the seven deadly sins be born.

As for how this seed was domesticated and cultivated in the Star Continent, that is another matter.

He had this idea when the Mad King taught him the Book of the Dead.

The birth of the authority of the Book of the Dead was not a one-day effort.

To put it bluntly, the essence of the Book of the Dead's authority is "theft."

Stolen the power of the Shadow Plane.

Under normal circumstances, if one wants to drive the power of shadow, one must become a strong person belonging to the shadow plane like the Goddess of Darkness in order to obtain the relevant authority.

Or to put it more simply, the exertion of a demigod's power depends largely on the demiplane.

The prerequisite for calling upon the demiplane is to be a creature of the Star Continent.

Because the demiplane is essentially a part of the star continent cut out and given to the demigod for use.

By the same token, the reason why there are no gods in the Star Continent today is because the world does not allow it.

The will of the Continent of Stars does not allow such a vast land as the Kingdom of God to be used by powerful gods.

Therefore, after the Age of Gods came to an end, there were almost no creatures in the divine realm on the Continent of Stars.

Even the God of Growth and Forests has declined in strength compared to his peak period.

After the death of the God of Growth and Life, the Star Continent no longer had any native divine realm.

But outside the main material world, there are more worlds where the rules are still loose, and they are willing to lend more power to those who have surpassed the limits of life.

But this does not mean that the world with the divine realm is stronger than the Star Continent.

The authority of the Book of the Dead should actually be called the authority of the Shadow King.

After the War with the Mad King, the entire continent knew the horrors of the Night of the Living Dead.

Likewise, countless explorers covet the New Book of the Dead, which is said to be able to resurrect the dead.

The power and authority that grew from the shadow plane was nourished by the Star Continent, and eventually became the source of power for the Cursed Legion through word of mouth, opening up the path to becoming a god.

——This is the origin of the power of the Book of the Dead.

It is almost impossible to create power with just the talents of Rudelson and the Mad King.

But with the boost of the world's will, it will be possible.

Even a "native" like Louis who was born in the Star Continent can use this authority to obtain the power of the shadow plane for free.

When he obtained this authority, Louis was thinking, since the authority of the Book of the Dead was condensed through such means, does it also mean that earlier, someone also used similar means to separate the authority of the Seven Deadly Sins and germinate it on the Continent of Stars?

This kind of operation reminded him of the outrageous operation performed by the bald old woman Gu Yi in a movie in his previous life.

The Ancient One can borrow power from other dimensions, or this is the same operation used by most wizards in the Marvel system.

However, borrowing power from other dimensions can easily backfire, so the old woman strictly forbids her subordinates from borrowing power from high-risk dimensions at will.

——For example, Dormammu, the infamous ruler of the dark dimension.

Under normal circumstances, Dormammu is not a good person and will definitely come to collect the debt.

But the Supreme Sorcerer Ancient One simply quit his job, quietly retreated behind the big boss, and got the resources for free, still living a glorious and respectable life.

He was not sure about this guess before, but he understood it the moment he stepped into the Golden Country.

He is the Supreme Sorcerer.

Dormammu is the will of the abyss and the plane of shadow.

Vishanti, who prevented Dormammu from demanding his salary, is the will of the Star Continent.

At this point, the closed loop is completed.

Dark, really dark! It seems that the average person in the God Realm of this world is a big debtor, and depending on the situation, they may become deadbeats at any time?

This makes it easy to understand why the Four Gods of the Abyss are so "conscientious" in targeting the Emperor.

After all, they are the "creditors" who have the ability to collect debts at any time. If the Four Gods of the Abyss don't want to be deadbeats, they can only help collect debts honestly.

broken!

Louis began to have a headache.

Originally, the Will of the Abyss wanted Lao Deng to pay off his debt and enter the Bottomless Abyss, but his experience in the Golden City made him realize in an instant that he had become a hot commodity in the eyes of the other party.

He turned to look at General Locke and said:

"I heard the whispers of the abyss in the Golden Land. Growth has little to do with the death of the forest god and the elves. The driving force behind his death should be the abyss."

General Locke nodded and said, "It's pretty much what we guessed, which is why we had to rush here in time."

Louis suddenly remembered something, looked at Locke and said, "Are you being tricked?"

"That's about right. Anyway, it's quite difficult now."

Louis let out a long sigh, and after a long while, he said with a sigh, "These long-eared people are really smart. It seems that we can't simply divide them into three countries. They may not think so internally."

General Locke smiled and said, "How could you possibly forget how powerful the Elf Kingdom was back then?"

Louis nodded: "That's right."

All I can say is that he was able to become the overlord of the era not just by luck and strength, but he was indeed very good at planning.

By sorting out the timeline, you can roughly understand the operations of this group of elves.

At first, the elves separated some of their compatriots to bear the negative pollution of the dungeon, so that they could stand out from the dungeon with almost complete strength.

Then they took advantage of the lack of understanding of the elves by various countries and races, and pushed the power of the elves to the limit in the shortest possible time, annexing the surrounding areas and instantly forming an elven kingdom.

If it were a normal country, it would choose to recuperate after developing to this point.

But the elves don't do that.

Knowing full well that they were in an illegitimate position, they took the initiative without hesitation to become the backbone of maintaining world order.

Moreover, they were not hypocritical in being a beacon, they truly paid the price of endless blood and became the spokesperson for justice at that time.

Eternal Blade comes from that period.

After briefly maintaining their reputation, they quickly changed direction and cultivated racial gods.

It was during that period that the remains of the God of Growth and Forests, the last god of the stars, were targeted and taken away by them. They gathered the strength of all races and created the first racial god, who later became the main god of the elves.

Afterwards, the Elf Kingdom closed its borders and entered a period of rapid development internally, absorbing the fruits of victory in recent years in a very short period of time.

More than ten years later, he came out again and spread his cultivated "tentacles" across the earth, becoming the overlord of the era.

Although later the elven pantheon suffered backlash due to the trolls.

Later, due to the inability to control the enclave and internal chaos, the group fell apart.

But they still maintain a unified ideology.

Even though they were later divided into three countries, they were most likely still closely connected internally.

Under normal circumstances, those who obtain the remains of the God of Growth and the Forest must bear the cause and effect of the Golden City.

That is the duty of the elves.

But... many years ago, in the war with the Roxxi people, after being defeated in the war, Quiet Forest also transferred part of the debt of protecting the Golden Country to the Roxxi people.

——After all, whoever conquers it bears the consequences.

Louis even suspected that these elves in the quiet forest had secretly transferred their core power to the other two elven kingdoms.

No wonder when he came here, he always felt that the resistance of the quiet forest was too low.

There is such a cause and effect behind feelings.
