Lava basin, eleven diverging rings.
Rosen was standing, with two powerful Void Gods kneeling in front of him, bound tightly by soul chains.
"Your Majesty Rosen, all the lava warriors have been recalled. Look."
It was Dritan who spoke.
At this moment, he hunched his back, and there was an undisguised flattery on his square and serious face.
He didn't want to be like this, but in recent years, continuous blows forced him to bow to the strong again and again.
I was not used to bowing to the Goddess of Life, and I felt a little uncomfortable bowing to the Lord of War.
Now, it felt natural to bow to Rosen.
We have to bow our heads anyway, so it doesn't matter who we bow to.
As long as you are alive, you have a chance.
Rosen had been observing the fluctuations in Dritan's soul, and now he had a rough idea of his thoughts.
I couldn't help but think: "The dog trainer has finally become a dog himself."
Since this guy is so cooperative, he needs to be interrogated carefully.
As the thought came to mind, two giant soul shields appeared.
He gave one shield to Dritan and Belldandi respectively, isolating the two completely.
Rosen went to Dritan first and said with a faint smile: "I know the secret connection spell you used very well, and I use it much more proficiently than you. So, don't think about colluding with Belldandy in front of me."
Druitan smiled awkwardly: "Don't dare~ Don't dare~~~"
He really doesn't dare.
Beeldandi was being held in the opponent's hand like a chicken, how could he dare to do anything? Rosen asked: "Now tell me, besides the lava warriors, what other means does Beeldandi have to save himself?"
Dritan sold Belldandi without hesitation: "She also asked me to find the Lord of War Hegrid."
"Did you find it?"
"Yes."
Druitan's voice was very low. If the Void God could sweat, he would be sweating profusely by now.
Rosen saw the fear in the other person's heart and continued to ask expressionlessly, "When did you find it?"
"Half an hour ago, I sent Saint Larry to notify them, and they have been notified now."
"What's Hegrid's reaction?"
"I was shocked and angry, and I planned to come to the rescue myself."
"In addition, his saint messenger has arrived in our plane and is now looking for you all over the world to negotiate with you."
Rosen understood, but this reaction was also within his expectations.
But his face remained expressionless: "I understand. Just stay still."
"Yes, yes, I promise not to move."
Rosen came to Belldandy again.
The proud female warrior was filled with frustration at this moment. When she saw Rosen coming, she subconsciously stepped back.
This reaction made Rosen's heart slightly moved: "It seems that he was frightened by my high-energy spell. Very good."
He began his interrogation: "What do you think the Lord of War would do if he knew that you were killed?"
Belldandy was slightly shocked, then slowly shook his head: "I don't know."
Rosen felt that this was the truth, so he continued to ask: "I need to know the methods of the Lord of War."
By now, he can easily control powerful gods.
When powerful gods see him, they can only flee into the void to escape.
But Rosen had no idea about the great God.
Because the great gods all possess divine artifacts and know many secrets of the abyss, and they may also possess some terrifying high-energy spells.
If a real fight breaks out, the outcome is hard to predict.
So be careful.
Belldandy could roughly see Rosen's power. In terms of soul alone, he was inferior to the Lord of War.
Now that she saw him asking this, she knew that he was actually afraid of the Lord of War, and this matter became the bargaining chip for her survival.
So she shook her head without hesitation: "I will never tell you!"
Rosen smiled faintly, walked slowly to her, raised his hand to lift her chin, and stared into her blue eyes.
"Ms. Belldandy, of course you can remain silent."
"But then, I won't know anything about the Lord of War's methods. To be on the safe side, I have no choice but to take the initiative."
"For example, I will transfer to the War God Realm now, and after attracting the War God Clan to my side, I will detonate a super sun that is a hundred times more powerful than the previous one."
“That must have been a very interesting scene.”
Belldandy was shocked and couldn't help shouting, "You lunatic, if you do this, you can't escape."
Rosen chuckled: "How can I not escape? I can phase shift."
"I don't need to leave the War God Realm. I just need to stay away from the sun's eruption point."
Having said that, Rosen suddenly snapped his fingers with a smile on his face.
"It seems that there is no need for me to go to the War God Realm. Let's go to the southern sea and find a deserted island. I will use you as bait and wait patiently for the Lord of War to rescue you."
"If the one who comes to rescue is just a minor character, I can handle it easily. If the Lord of War comes in person, I will welcome him with the warmest welcome in the world, and I guarantee that he will die without any pain!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Belldandy shouted: "No!"
She fell to her knees with a thump: "Your Majesty, please don't do this!"
The power of the human sun is so terrifying that even if the Lord of War is a great god with divine weapons, there is no possibility of survival.
And Rosen's strategy was impeccable. Once he did this, the entire tribe of the God of War would be wiped out.
This violent reaction made Rosen slightly stunned.
He felt that Belldandi seemed to have deep feelings for the Lord of War.
Could it be the Lord of War’s woman?
So he asked: "Why?"
"Because Hegrid is my father!"
This news was beyond Rosen's expectation: "Father? Is he his foster father?"
"No, it's my biological father."
Rosen was even more surprised: "As far as I know, the Void God is the soul projection of the abyss strongman in the void"
"Most of the Void Gods are, and my father and mother should be too, but I'm not."
Rosen was even more surprised and found it very interesting at the same time.
"Can the Void God actually give birth to offspring? This is the first time I've heard of it."
"This is a secret hidden in the void, and mortals are not aware of it. Not all void gods can give birth to offspring. My birth is the result of both my parents' efforts and the gift of the Creator."
The Crimson Lady continued, "Your Majesty, as long as you are willing to let the War God Clan go, I am willing to serve you and become your eternal servant."
Rosen had little interest in slaves, but the idea of combining with the void to produce offspring aroused a strong curiosity in him.
Because according to his research, the life structure of the Void God is incomplete. Logically speaking, it is impossible to produce offspring.
Now that offspring had been born, either he had made a mistake or Lady Crimson was lying.
Either way, it's worth a closer look.
This matter is also very valuable for research.
Because once he figures it out, it means he can help the Void God become an independent individual, and the Void life will also become an independent force, completely free from the influence of the abyss.
In this way, elemental life and void life will no longer have any reason to oppose each other, and when necessary, they can even join forces to fight against the abyss.
After a quick consideration, Rosen took out the Scepter of Nature.
"Bow your head, and I will leave my mark deep in your soul."
This is not a good method, but it is currently the only way for Rosen to effectively restrain the void life.
A hint of reluctance showed on the Crimson Lady's face, but she had no choice but to do as she was told.
Rosen began to brand the soul.
Berudandi's power is so strong that in order to ensure the brand is long-lasting and effective, Rosen carved it very deeply.
This was naturally very painful. Belldandy tried to hold it in for a while, but eventually he couldn't and screamed loudly.
The noise was so loud and noisy that Rosen reduced his hearing by 90%.
Hearing was not completely blocked because the strength of the branding should be controlled according to Beeldandi's feedback to avoid killing the opponent.
He had no mercy in his heart, because he knew that Belldandi was a warrior, not a woman.
If it backfires on me, my fate will definitely not be better than hers.
Considering that Beeldande's screams were so miserable, Rosen removed the shielding of the Soul Shield so that Druitan next door could also listen carefully.
After listening for a few seconds, Druitan's expression changed drastically, his whole body trembled, and he wanted to curl up into a ball and crawl into the crack in the ground.
Twenty minutes later, the branding was successful.
According to the most conservative estimate, it can bind the other party for at least 20 years.
Looking at Belldandi again, the light of his soul was dim and blurred, as if it was about to collapse in the next moment.
Just in case she really collapsed, Rosen injected her with the power of pure faith and pulled her back from the brink of collapse.
After recovering a little, Belldandy's face was full of humility and he called him "Master".
Rosen was very satisfied, and with a thought, he released the shackles on his soul.
He shook the Scepter of Nature in his hand and turned to look at Dritan: "What do you say?"
"Are you going to accept my soul brand? Or are you going to die?"
Dritan is different from Beeldandi. Dritan is a research-oriented void god, similar to a scholar.
As the saying goes, a scholar's rebellion will fail in ten years, so there is no need to worry about him backlash.
It can also be seen that he has the potential to be a good dog, so Rosen prefers to control rather than kill.
Druitan's body was shaking like a sieve. "I, I, I, I want to live."
"Very good, bow your head."
Druitan shuddered and lowered his head.
Rosen began to brand him.
Dritan's soul strength is much weaker than Belldandy's, but although this guy is weak, he is a research-oriented wizard with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
So, Rosen specially customized a very, very fine mark for him that far exceeded the limits of his perception.
His will was not as strong as Belldandy's, so in order to avoid killing him, his force was not too strong, less than 50% of Belldandy's.
But although the force was much lighter, Dritan's screams were even more miserable than Belldandi's, and his soul was flickering, as if he would collapse at the next moment.
Rosen frowned and said, "What a wimp!"
In order to avoid killing this guy, he had to use less force.
About twenty minutes later, the branding was successful, and Rosen removed his soul chains.
The powerful void god Dritan fell to the ground with a thump, his soul becoming extremely dim, as if it would be extinguished in the next moment.
Rosen would naturally not let him die, otherwise all his work would be in vain.
Logically, I gave him some pure power of faith to help him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Dritan, you do three things now."
"First, tell me all your knowledge, especially the details of the technique to create a lava warrior."
"Second, inform your saints that once they find the Lord of War's men, tell them to come to the lava basin to find us."
"Third, stop responding to the prayers of your fanatical followers in the Elven Empire and let them fend for themselves."
"Yes, Master."
Druitan responded with a look of exhaustion.
About ten minutes later, the messenger of the Lord of War Hegrid arrived.
He is a mortal saint with a legendary soul strength of 12. He is tall and strong, and wears heavy armor. At first glance, he looks very capable.
Rosen ordered the two void slaves to stay away from him, and he appeared inside the magic circle to face the apostle of the Lord of War alone.
"Tell me your name, Apostle."
"Warbringer Angelo, I salute you, Your Majesty Rosen."
This burly apostle was very humble and polite.
Unfortunately, this humble attitude did not last long.
"I am conveying the Lord's order to you, requiring you to release Lady Belldandi immediately, otherwise you and your empire will be reduced to the dust of history!"
The tone was very firm, and there was no room for negotiation in his words.
Rosen smiled and said, "Angela, go back and tell Hegrid to give it a try."
He wanted to see what amazing abilities this God of War had that could make him so arrogant.
