Chapter 604: Mission Impossible

After his rebirth, Amber Xiu had not personally participated in battles for a long time.

As the spirit of the magic mirror, Amber's magic power is provided by all magic mirrors, while he can also maintain the krypton gold casting ability of the Golden Throne.

When facing the devil for the first time, Amber took a two-pronged approach just to be on the safe side.

It turned out that Amber's caution was correct. After entering the illusion, these demons all showed confused expressions.

If one is completely bewitched, he or she will not realize that he or she is under an illusion.

The reason why these demons' expressions changed is that they instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

These winged demons look like a hybrid of a wild boar and an ape. The upper half of their faces are that of an ape, and the lower half are that of a wild boar with protruding fangs. Their bodies are fat and strong, and although their wings are short, they can fly quickly after flapping a few times.

Amberxiu vaguely remembered that this kind of demon was called something like Na, but he couldn't remember the name clearly, so Amberxiu simply gave it an easy-to-remember name - Flying Pig Monkey.

If any one of these demons runs to the main material plane, it can cause a city massacre. It is difficult for ordinary armies to deal with this monster with thick skin and flesh and the ability to fly.

There are over a hundred flying pig monkeys in front of him. If Ryan releases them, he will have to bring out his most elite legion of holy warriors to fight against them, and there will be considerable casualties.

But compared with those densely packed demons in the distance, these one hundred... are probably not even a drop in the bucket.

This is the real abyss, the real bloody battle. Compared with it, the wars in the mortal world are just a small fight.

Amberxiu finally understood why most of Io's rules only apply to the main material plane, because this place is truly a cradle of life, and those who live here are babies in swaddling clothes.

Io specially gave these infants and young children some protection to prevent them from being easily crushed by monsters from other dimensions.

However, these emotions only lasted for a second or two, and Amberxiu focused on controlling this group of demons, making them run around in the illusion, unable to find their direction.

But this situation cannot last too long. Demons are impatient chaotic evil creatures. Once they cannot find a way out for a long time, they will go crazy and start frantically attacking everything around them.

At that time, the illusion might not be able to hold up.

While the flying pig monkeys were still not able to react, Amber Xiu ordered Bater: "Catch a few of them, dead or alive."

All Amberxiu wants is intelligence, and catching a few will be enough.

Battelle also understood Amber's needs and immediately summoned his companions to rush towards the demons.

Covered by the illusion, the flying pig monkeys failed to notice the approach of the mercury spirit figurine. Bater came to the feet of a flying pig monkey and found that the demon's foot alone was almost bigger than his body, and it would be difficult to kill him with his thick skin and flesh.

Battelle thought for a moment and said to his companions: "You two seal his wings, and the others cooperate with me and follow my instructions."

Bater's round body quickly turned into a thin layer, and when the flying pig monkey raised his legs, it drilled into the soles of his feet.

The huge demon felt as if it had stepped on something slippery and began to lose balance.

He flapped his wings hard to steady his body, but after he flapped his short wings twice, two mercury spirits pounced on his back and wrapped his wings with their bodies.

The heavy body made its wings seem to be stuck in mucus, making it impossible to flap. Then several mercury spirit figurines appeared under the feet of the demon, and like rollers, they pushed the behemoth into the mercury river.

The demon lost his balance and just began to struggle when he found himself rolling and his whole body fell into the river of mercury.

Although the demon's body was strong, it was not denser than mercury, so it floated on the surface the moment it fell into the mercury chain. But when he opened his mouth and shouted, he sucked a lot of mercury vapor into his body, causing him to howl wildly.

Bartel took the opportunity to get into the demon's mouth and squeezed directly into his throat.

This flying pig monkey had probably never encountered a creature that could actively drill into its mouth in its life. It reached out to dig something out but couldn't get anything out. Instead, it turned over while struggling, with its entire head immersed in the Milky Way of Mercury.

The mercury spirit figurines pounced on it one by one, drilled all the holes they could, and after a while they burst the demon to pieces.

This monster was like a dragon, with a very tough skin, but not very strong internal organs. After Battelle and his team got into the demon's body, they became like sea urchins and crushed its internal organs easily.

But when they crawled out of the demon's corpse, their bodies were stained with a strange color.

The blood of demons is highly poisonous, and although the Mercury Zombies have strong resistance to magic, they are not completely immune.

Fortunately, there is a huge river of mercury next to him, and Battelle can recover temporarily through the river water.

And Amber took the demon's soul at the moment of his death.

Bater and his companions ignored their injuries and continued to rush towards the second flying pig monkey.

While maintaining the illusion, Amber watched the mercury zombies rushing towards the horde of demons one after another.

Demons were sent to the Mercury Galaxy and killed one by one. The toxins in Bartel and other mercury zombies accumulated more and more, and their movements were also affected. But Amber did not see any signs of retreat from these mercury zombies. They did not even express pain or hesitation, but were as positive as ever, as if completing Amber's orders was more important than their own safety.

“These little guys…”

Amber Xiu didn't know how to describe it. This was something similar to loyalty, but far beyond loyalty. Amber Xiu had just met Bater today, and he couldn't even tell who these mercury figurines were.

But he could feel that these little guys truly regarded him as their creator and were willing to give everything for him.

There is no need for interests, reasons, or even determination, because from the moment they are born, they are ready to dedicate everything to the Creator.

When Amber Xiu had just created the mercury spirit figurines, he had asked these little guys to kowtow to him, hoping to use the power of their faith to earn some gold. Later, he found that the efficiency was too low. The gold generated by a thousand mercury spirit figurines kowtowing day and night was not as much as what he could generate by gambling with others in the tavern.

The Mercury Spirit Figurine at that time had very low intelligence and could be considered just a naive child, so Amber Xiu only felt that he was a parent who tricked a child into taking medicine, and not only did he work hard, but there was no result.

But Bartel and the others are different.

Battelle's performance can be considered brave and resourceful, and he is already a qualified leader of a race.

But even with this wisdom, Bartel remained pious.

Since when did the mercury spirit figurine develop this kind of fanatic mentality? Amber Xiu had never been a god, nor had he ever been exposed to such pure worship. This strange feeling was neither good nor bad, only doubts. He could not imagine that anything could override his free will, so he did not actually worship any gods in his heart.

Being able to maintain one's own personal will and at the same time maintain a devout faith... does such a contradictory thing really exist?

Perhaps the most devout belief is to regard the will of the gods as one's own ideal. For their own ideals, these mercury spirits can risk their lives. They don't even think of this as a sacrifice. Instead, they think it is the greatest happiness and the highest glory.

Finally, after the fifth demon was killed by Bartel and his men, Amber Xiu ordered: "Retreat, return to the Mercury Galaxy and rest. This much is enough."

A group of mercury ghost figurines that had been dyed various colors quickly jumped into the Mercury River and began to frantically devour mercury to recover.

Amberxiu cast several spells to remove the poison on them, and only then did they dispel the illusion.

The remaining hundreds of flying pig monkeys saw the bodies of their companions and howled wildly at first, but when they realized that they could not find the murderer, they ate the bodies of their companions with relish, then flapped their wings back to the broken space and joined the demon team.

Only after Amberxiu confirmed that it was safe did he begin to check the soul he had obtained.

The souls of these flying pig monkeys were very powerful, and they were still roaring with their will, trying to break through Amber's blockade. But Amber could be said to be the most powerful soul expert under the gods. If they could escape, Amber might as well find a crack in the ground to suffocate himself.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The soul of the first demon was rubbed by Amberxiu, and a large number of scarlet spots of light were constantly squeezed out while he screamed. These were useless memories related to killing and fighting, but they occupied the vast majority of the demon's life.

After simply and inefficiently erasing these useless memories, Amberxiu began to unravel the mystery and look for what he wanted.

It's mainly about recent memory, to see where they came from and where they are going, and what the broken and suspended spaces in the distance are like.

Such a large soul could only leave very little useful information. Amber Xiu could only barely see his movements in the past few days. But Amber Xiu did not check it carefully. He took out the second soul and roughly screened it in the same way.

In this way, Amberxiu tore the souls of the five demons into threads, and finally intertwined them under the control of his fingertips, weaving out a series of specific scenes.

Countless demons from all races and tribes entered and exited the broken space. Their sights began to shuttle back and forth among the space gates and finally gathered in a dim and dark place.

It was a barren land, with a black chaotic sun hanging in the sky. Countless space cracks flew out from the black sun and fell on the ground, forming channels. Every moment, thousands of space channels appeared, and thousands of space channels closed.

These demons crawled out of the space channel and then entered another space channel. Some of the slower ones were directly cut in two by the space channel, and most of the demons who couldn't recognize the direction could only keep spinning in the space maze.

But these demons are like the countless marbles in a pinball machine. They can’t find the way and fall into a dead end... It doesn’t matter, because there are enough demons. With the help of luck, there will always be many demons that will find the direction and enter other dimensions through these dangerous space passages.

"This... is the Styx?"

Amberxiu was a little surprised. This so-called Styx was not a river at all.

Although the image didn't match, the power emitted by the black sun was not much different from the description in the information he had obtained. Chaos without light, boundless darkness, connecting the heavens and the worlds, there were no rules of time and space in the Styx, only that black sun controlled everything.

In order to verify his conjecture, Amber made these soul memories into memory crystals and sent them to Paruliel.

Soon, he got a reply from Parulil: "Yes, this is what we are looking for. However, this black sun is not the Styx, but a tributary closest to Hell. It is the embodiment of the concept of the Styx tributary. In the eyes of these demons, the Styx is not a river, but a sun, guiding them to various worlds, so it appears in their memories in the form of a black sun."

Amber Xiu said doubtfully: "If I saw the Styx with my own eyes, maybe it would look different?"

"Yes, according to your personality, you might become a golden beauty."

"You have misunderstood me so deeply."

"hehe."

Amber Xiu didn't want to argue with the crazy woman Parulier, so he immediately got to the point: "I can use their memories to figure out the location of the Styx tributary. But how do we block this thing?"

Whether the black sun is real or fake, it possesses boundless chaotic power. Tearing apart space is as easy as breathing for Styx. Countless space cracks open up between one breath and another, allowing these demons to travel freely.

Amberxiu couldn't tell which ones led to hell, and he had no ability to plug all the space cracks that appeared and disappeared countless times every second.

If you want to stop the bloody battle, it is impossible without solving the problem of the tributaries of the River Styx.

However, Parulil is a god, so she should have a better solution than a mortal like him, right? However, Parulil replied, "I don't know either. I originally thought that the connection between the tributaries of the Styx and Hell was very simple, and even if it was a huge space channel as big as an entire plane, it would be fine as long as it was solved. But the number just now was too exaggerated, and these space channels are constantly changing. It is impossible for anyone except Io to completely block all these channels.

"My suggestion is that you can try to become a very powerful god, and then cut off this tributary of the Styx with a sword, and then everything will be resolved."

Amber asked: "How strong?"

"One punch can kill Corellon, the Lord of the Morning, Oghma, the Goddess of Magic, and the Goddess of Death... that's about enough."

"You might as well just say you're Io."

"You are stupid. You are a mortal, of course you can mention that name casually. But I am a god, how dare I mention that person casually?"

Amber Xiu began to not want to chat with this crazy woman anymore.

Finally, the River Styx has been found, but there is no way to completely block it?

Come to think of it, it doesn't seem strange. If it's really that easy to end the bloody battle, is it Amber's turn to take action?

It is impossible to block it completely, but Hell can lock all the teleportation locations in the Blood River, so can we think of a solution in this direction?

For example, tear down the entire Blood River area and send it out of Hell?
