Chapter 364: The Will of the High King
"The Griffin is the Sinister Eye? The most powerful one?"
Li Ang's hands were shaking a little. He really didn't expect that the griffin in the ring was actually an abyss demon?
"Yes... it was indeed very powerful in the past, because its soul was originally a griffin. The Griffin Knights, which I founded when I was young, were named after us because we defeated the Gloomy Eye, which was transformed from the soul of a griffin. This was to commemorate that battle, which was also the founding battle of the Kingdom of Pendor."
Kavala replied.
So that’s how it is…
No wonder the flag of the Griffin Knights is a black griffin with a gold background - if the griffin is a totem, then the totem itself would generally be made of gold, just like Leon's own flag. Using a gold griffin with a black background is in line with the general way of thinking.
It turns out that the griffin is not a totem, but a memorial to the victory over a powerful enemy and the establishment of the Kingdom of Pendor...
"Is that griffin a survivor who escaped before the destruction of Vengedarian? But weren't the evil spirits of the abyss originally believers of the goddess of justice? The abyss was originally supposed to be the 'heaven' built by the goddess of justice for her believers, right? Could it be that the griffin also believes in the goddess of justice?"
Li Ang expressed his incomprehension.
Before the destruction of the Vengedarian continent, many legendary creatures lived there, such as griffins, dragons, and Titans...
It is normal for one or two griffins, which are good at flying, to escape the magic storm and run to other continents .
But this thing could actually turn into an evil spirit?
"Perhaps it is indeed a survivor. It fled to the Barkley Continent and met a kind woman who took it in. Later, the woman relied on this griffin to build a powerful force and became a god... Boy, you should know who that woman is, right?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Kavala's tone.
Leon understood: "Goddess of Justice Astalia!"
"That's her... Boy, those who became gods back then all had their own adventures, but most of them were because they obtained the legacy of the Vengedarian continent... Astalia is indeed a kind person, so her luck is better than others - she not only saved the griffin, but also the Titan..."
Kavala said with some regret: "But unfortunately, after these legendary creatures died, Astalia let their souls enter the 'heaven' she created - she really regarded these legendary creatures as close partners. But in the end, these legendary creatures all became powerful evil spirits in the abyss... You should have seen that Titan..."
Leon had indeed seen it. Before he left the abyss, he encountered an extremely terrifying huge black shadow. At that time, the huge "black hand" was about to pinch him - that should be the soul of the Titan.
I see……
No wonder the evil spirit that appeared on the Barkley Continent was so powerful, and no wonder it became the first Gloomy Eye to leave the abyss - the abyss requires flying out, and the griffin is of course better at flying...
No wonder the griffin in the ring can find and peck the three prophets, and no wonder the three prophets are so afraid of this griffin - the evil spirits of the abyss can devour souls, and all the evil spirits of the abyss hate these three gatekeepers. The griffin is just acting on instinct.
This ring was originally the code of the Goddess of Order, so it still possesses some of the properties of the Gate of the Abyss...
"You made the Code of the Goddess of Order into a national heirloom ring... Are you relying on Azi Dahaka's magic-forbidden ability to deliberately attract Eunomia to come and deal with you?"
Li Ang continued to ask.
"Of course! This is a weapon that can render any god helpless..."
There was a hint of hatred in Kavala's voice: "I returned to the continent of Pendor and destroyed the code of Eunomia, so she did come here in person to completely destroy me..."
"But I still made a mistake. Although Azi Dahaka can target gods, it cannot resist humans... I eventually died at the hands of the knights I founded - the Griffin Knights. They killed the body and believed it was a demon... Of course, anyone who saw the ugly body would think so."
"Eunomia violated the rules of God and was banished to the void, and my soul was sealed by her in the temple of the God of Creation. She couldn't take me into the void because I didn't violate any rules of the God of Creation at that time. I never used any divine arts, nor did I occupy anyone's body. I only occupied a weapon that didn't belong to this world..."
"Boy, I carved some words on the ring... Did you see it?"
Kavala suddenly mentioned the inscription on the ring.
"There can be countless gods in the void, but there can only be one will on earth - the will of the Supreme King. To be honest, I like this sentence, and I agree with it."
Li Ang expressed his appreciation for Kavala.
"Yes, the earth can only obey the will of the Supreme King... But the Supreme King does not necessarily have to be me, it can also be my descendants..."
Kavala said slowly: "Boy, I actually admire you, so I am willing to tell you everything. But I must kill you... because you were summoned by Eunomia! She deliberately let you occupy the body of my descendant, and Leon, the child, is my only blood..."
"Wait... Are you saying that the Goddess of Order deliberately used your offspring to deal with you?"
Leon was shocked. There was a grudge between Eunomia and Kavala. It was understandable that they wanted to seek revenge, but this kind of thinking was a bit abnormal...
"She wants to destroy my sect... She has always believed that my Snake Worship will eventually destroy the entire world. In her opinion, since I founded the Snake Worship, my descendants should be the ones to deal with it... Boy, do you understand? I don't hate you, but I know your mission is to deal with me..."
I see.
He and Kavala actually became enemies because of this grudge... Le Ang suddenly felt like cursing.
"You gave this ring to your descendants as a national heirloom... You originally wanted to use the griffin to protect your descendants? So only your descendants can use this ring... But that's not right. You were Azi Dahaka at that time, not Kavala... And you can't cast spells at all. How can you create a magical item that can directly distinguish bloodlines ?"
Li Ang asked with some confusion.
Azdahaka definitely has nothing to do with Kavala's bloodline, but it's strange that this ring can recognize genes.
"I actually never thought of using this ring to distinguish any bloodline, and I didn't expect it to have such an ability... I even think this is Eunomia's curse - that woman doesn't want my descendants to inherit it..."
Kavala said this with some resentment, but he didn't sound too sure himself.
But Leon felt that this situation might have nothing to do with Eunomia. It was probably caused by a virus, not magic or a curse at all...
The virus in Az Dahaka should be the original version of the Red Death virus, and it can be regarded as the original source of the virus.
Kavala used Aziz Dahaka's body to make this ring, and there must be a lot of viruses remaining on the ring.
Azdahakkar was created from the blood of the Noldor elves. The Noldor's magic-suppressing physique certainly came from the same virus, but the Noldor elves have reached a symbiotic state with the virus in their bodies - the virus they carry should have mutated many times and is no longer so deadly. It will not affect the lives of the elves, nor will it be transmitted again.
——Just like hepatitis B, it generally does not cause disease and has little impact on the human body.
However, it is not certain whether it will affect fertility. The difficulty of Noldor elves giving birth may be due to the virus...
But in any case, the virus carried by the Noldor elves should have lost its infectiousness after long-term symbiosis, otherwise they would not be able to combine with humans.
Kavala himself is a hybrid of Noldor and human. He and his descendants, like the Noldor elves, are natural symbiotes of the Red Death virus.
Therefore, the descendants of the Pendor royal family can activate the ring. This is actually only because they resonate with the virus on the ring and stimulate the magic power in their own elven blood, rather than triggering any magic that recognizes genes.
It is estimated that every Noldor elf can trigger this ring... but this ring has always been regarded as a national treasure, and no one will let it fall into the hands of the elves, so it cannot be tested...
But the problem is that what Aziz Dahaka left on this ring was the most primitive Red Death virus - the original virus must be extremely violent and must have the ability to spread quickly.
Of course, Kavala's direct descendants would not be affected by the virus, so successive Pand kings had no problems.
But if you don't have elven blood, you won't be able to withstand wearing this ring...
So after the death of the last king of Pendor, his heirs would get sick as soon as they put on the ring and die within a few days. There were several heirs in a month - it is estimated that those heirs were not descendants of the Pendor royal family at all...
There was only one baby girl who was of true royal blood, but by then the entire kingdom had collapsed.
Every country has a cuckold king, like Ulrich...
They are all the last kings, and all the tragedies were caused by cuckoldry...
This is really the wheel of fate.
By the way, Dallion has worn this ring, but he didn't get sick. It seems that he does have Kavala's bloodline, but it may be a branch line, so the ring didn't react much.
Moreover, in order to keep Azidahaka alive, Kavala must have tried to use the blood of patients with the Red Death in the Bacchus continent, so the snake worshippers have passed down the blood pool ritual of offering sacrifices to the "God's Messenger" to this day...
"Alas... Your Majesty Kavala, I now understand that you are the one who brought back the Red Death. Although you did not spread it intentionally... But this ring is poisonous. You made a poisonous ring with your own hands and destroyed your kingdom..."
Li Ang sighed.
"...Maybe, but that's a thing of the past...Now, I just want the whole world to become my followers...I will create my own kingdom again, and it will be even more powerful!"
After a long pause, Kavala said firmly.
"Why? What good will it do you to turn the entire continent into a mob like the Snake Cult?"
Li Ang was shocked. He thought Kavala was a little abnormal...
"In your opinion, the Snake Cult is full of thugs, because you have only seen the Snake Cult in recent years... But this is the Snake Cult that gradually got out of control when I was sealed. The sect I founded in Bacchus was not like this... I created a beautiful country where most people are loyal, kind, thrifty, simple, and selfless... Otherwise, why do you think so many people in the Bacchus Empire joined my sect? I am not an evil devil, kid, but the Bacchus Empire back then was hell..."
Kavala said lightly.
"Did you personally assassinate the emperor of the Bacchus Empire at that time?"
Leon actually believed what Kavala said. The original Snake Cult was probably not that evil.
Otherwise, the Snake Cult would not have been able to defeat the then-powerful Bacchus in such a short time, even if they had assassinated Emperor Bacchus.
But the problem is, just like the "Kingdom of Heaven" created by the goddess of justice, many countries that were originally created with good intentions may eventually go against their purpose...
"Yes, he was a truly cruel tyrant... Countless girls died in his palace every day, and all the nobles under him were villains... The first priestesses were actually the girls I rescued from them. Haha..."
Kavala smiled and said, "At that time, Azi Dahaka was a benevolent goddess. As long as the temporary troubles are resolved, it won't be long before I become a benevolent god again and bring peace and tranquility to the earth..."
"Well, Your Majesty Kavala, perhaps you were indeed a wise king. But now, you are using the body of the dead Ulric and creating so many zombies. Is this considered a manifestation of mercy? Have you been a god for too long and have no respect for ordinary people in your heart?"
Li Ang spoke with some emotion, he probably understood Kavala's mentality.
This is an extremely proud and conceited king, and he has not been a human being for too long - just like the powerful Sindarin elves, he has always regarded himself as a god, and his mentality is a bit problematic.
Especially after Eunomia left, he regarded himself as the only god. He believed that everything he did was right, and that no one could do better than him...
"Heh... Isn't the coming of God an honor to Ulrich? Respect? I have shown you the highest respect, so I told you so many things. Boy, if you were not summoned by Eunomia, I would even make you the King of Pendor... But unfortunately..."
There was indeed a hint of regret in Kavala's tone.
"What a pity! It's still unclear who will kill whom... Your Majesty Kavala, I now think there is nothing wrong with what Eunomia did. Gods really shouldn't exist in this world, and neither should you..."
Li Ang pinched his fingers and turned the ring face back to his palm.
"Hahaha...wait until you survive the Legion of Terror before you say that...you'd better go outside Sarleon City..."
Kavala suddenly burst into laughter.
