Chapter 522: Chapter 57 Blood Wars
The endless void.
It was rare to encounter anyone in the astral plane.
However, Soran seed to have encountered soone. Soone that was using his real body to travel.
There was no air or gravity in the astral plane. Projection was, of course, the simplest way; using a true body would require plenty of energy.
Indeed, Soran had encountered a Lich!
As an undead, many limitations of the astral plane did not affect it.
In fact, this was the first ti Soran encountered a Lich.
A Lich was a very powerful spellcaster, and many of them were able to compete with the gods. The one Soran t in front of him was walking in the astral plane. It seed that he was collecting sothing Soran couldn’t understand. A kind of strange dust with silvery-white light; it probably ca from the material plane, or so extension of the material plane. Soran couldn’t tell where the Lich ca from; he only knew that he was an astral wanderer and had a profession level of around 25.
“A god!”
The Lich beca sowhat relaxed when he saw Soran’s projection. Since Soran couldn’t hide his divine auras, the Lich ca over, bowed, and said, “Glad to have encountered a god here.”
It was not unusual for a being full of power like a Lich to encounter a god.
Right now, Soran was no threat to the Lich at all, because a projection only had a small part of the power of the body. Moreover, as a Lich, it had a Phylactery; as long as it did not suffer brain damage, the body could completely be restored without any problem. That was why, even the gods sotis had no choice but to master the death-related domain, in order to destroy the Lich’s body.
Soran nodded gently as he stood far.
The two did not seem to want to talk; they passed by each other after making sure they weren’t hostile.
If a projection died, the host body would suffer so damage.
It seed that the Lich also did not want to antagonize a deity!
In his hand was a strange alchemy item, which was constantly absorbing the faint silver-white dust in the astral plane. The Lich felt a little relieved when Soran left, and quickly put away the thing and opened a teleportation door. The astral plane was a dangerous place as there were many battles here; even as a Lich, he was quite shocked to encounter a deity.
Soran did not go far from the material plane.
He still had to reserve so power in Mordor city and another place.
It was possible to encounter the corpses of ancient gods in the astral plane. These corpses still had strong power; these corpses were very dangerous and full of opportunities for gods. These corpses were full of divine power, even after countless years. These ancient gods fought with the primitive demons born from the source of chaos. So of them died in the void of the multiverse, and their bodies had been preserved until now.
The power of primitive demons polluted Asmodeus and led to his complete fall. As the best warrior of order, Asmodeus finally turned from the gods and evolved into Hell of Bator. The fall of Asmodeus directly led to the fall of a large number of ancient angels into hell. So of them had been killed in endless bloody battles in the Abyss, while so of them were still in the deepest part of Bator.
The reason why Soran chose to enter the Abyss and not the Hell of Bator was that the space of the Bator was very limited (only nine layers); the competition was very fierce; and he had to obey the rules of Asmodeus.
On the contrary, the Abyss was chaotic and vast.
Even though there were very powerful demon lords, there wasn’t one dominator. Chaos ant opportunity and the possibility of Soran rising!
In fact, when Soran first road the astral plane, he still had so expectation that he would be favored by the Goddess of Good Fortune; or burst out in luck and suddenly encounter the corpse of an ancient god.
Unfortunately, in this vast void, there were still very little ancient god corpses.
In this almost boundless space, the chances of encountering them were almost unimaginable! Soran had always believed that his ability could help him absorb the huge divinity left on the ancient god’s corpse; however, the problem was that it was difficult for him to find it in this mysterious and huge plane.
It was a long ti ago when soone encountered the corpse of an ancient god.
Soran went around the material plane. There were many amazing things in the astral plane. There were other planes connected here; sotis even encountering a flying teorite. There may be teorites that were completely diamond or so material that could be used to make rare grade weapons.
Since I’m here, I might as well go a few rounds to try my luck!
Inside a lab, Gloria was busy analyzing the experintal data. Occasionally, she would turn her head to take a look at the new tower spirit ET-1, which stood nearby to help record the data. Compared with tower spirit 13, which she encountered in the war ga simulation, Gloria’s own tower spirit was too weak. Whether its combat power, computing power, or intelligence, the gap between the two was just miles away. This made her more curious about the knowledge of the Arcane Empire. She really wanted to know the mystery of maintaining a huge floating city and the other fascinating items.
Light footsteps were heard.
The fallen witch was outside the lab with a big book.
“Mother?”
Gloria stopped her experintation, turned to look at the fallen witch, and asked, “What is the matter?”
The two of them had their own separate labs.
Normally, her mother would not co at this hour.
“Co, look at this.”
The fallen witch handed the thick book to Gloria, quickly opened to one of the pages, and said, “this is the data record I found about the Abyss blood war.”
Gloria took the and book and saw the large picture with descriptions there:
“Before there were any records, the Abyss blood wars had already broken out.”
“At that ti, the Styx River was just a stream. The Gray Waste of Hades, Bleak Eternity of Gehenna, Shura realm, and so on had not been completely ford. The Hell of Bator was still the world of the ancient Bator people, and the Yugoloth had only been created!…”
“There is no end to the bloody war that has lasted for countless years. The existence of Asmodeus makes the devil rise completely. The endless war seems to be in a stalemate!…”
“From the Plain of Infinite Portals, the Blood Fissure (the gap between the Abyss and Bator was also the largest battlefield), Afnas, the Gray Waste of Hades, the Bleak Eternity of Gehenna, there were battles. Tens of millions of demons fought here. Every ti demons died, there were newborn Dretches to support the endless war!…”
“The evil and neutral creatures, such as the Hags and the Yugoloths, were on both sides of the bloody battle. They imported various weapons and equipnt carefully manufactured by the devils from Barto (countless weapon makers in Barto, the largest weapons productivity in the lower realm…) There were no weapons forging businesses in the local area. The Yugoloths also monopolized part of the boatman business of the Styx river. If not for the Yugoloths, the Hags would have made much money…”
Gloria looked up with a frown as he read until this part.
Many powerful wizards would know about this history of the Abyss. However, the fallen witch shook her head and said, “Continue reading the power parts.”
There were still so more paragraphs, but this seed to be the important point:
“At an ancient ti, millions of coalition forces composed of angels joined in the bloody battle. Only 3000 people were able to return to the upper plane alive. This defeat made the celestial creatures more cautious and careful in dealing with the lower plane!”
“Let the evil creatures fight among themselves. The upper plane should not intervene in their wars. As a result of this failed war, the creatures in the upper plane had separated into order and chaos,”
“Many gods of order and chaos participated in the blood war. A god in the chaos camp died and fell in the blood war. What’s more, the gods who died in the blood war could no longer be resurrected. So most of the gods chose to withdraw from the bloody war and sent so servants to participate at most. In addition, they participated too much in the bloody war, and their power seed to be absorbed by the bloody war!… ”
“It was also said that even if a Lich died in the blood war, it was likely that its Phylactery would also be destroyed. Even the demon lords hell rarely took risks to fight in person
The fallen witch then said, “Look at the last part.”
The last part?
Gloria looked down and was shocked:
“Of course, it was different for those evil spirits who wanted to beco more powerful or those who wanted to rely on the blood war to beco stronger! This was one of the fastest ways to beco stronger. As long as the survivors were able to absorb the powers of the killed enemies!… ”
“A lowly Dretch could swiftly beco a powerful demon after one war.”
“If it could survive a few wars, it may even beco a Marilith, Balor, Kelvezu, or sothing even more powerful!…”
“If it were able to kill a powerful existence!”
“Then it may even beco a demon lord in the Abyss!…”
“In the long years,” there were even extrely lucky and powerful existences that had killed gods in the war!…”
“This may make so beco powerful gods in a very short ti!… No one knew what kind of rules and power the bloody war contained!… But it seems that it was the only place where anyone could beco a powerful being in a short amount of ti! ”
“The endless slaughter!…”
[Blood war of the Abyss], book 3, chapter 16.
Gloria shut the book, looked at the fallen witch with a confused expression, and asked, “Why did you show this?”
The fallen witch did not say anything at first.
After so ti, she said, “Soran’s powers!”
“Becoming a deity in such a short amount of ti!… I feel there are too many secrets in him!… There has never been anything like him! ”
“What you read just now is the most possible conclusion!…”
“There is a strange power in him!… it was unknown where this power would lead him.”
Gloria stood there.
She looked at her mother quietly. Her expression still calm. She then replied, “No matter what the future may be… since I have chosen him, I will always stand beside him. I will accompany him to the end! ”
“Mother.”
“It’s late. You should get so rest.”
