Volume 3: Artifacts Chapter 157: Gate of the Abyss
When the Duke of Celtic learned that his home was attacked by Qingkong, the war in Triumph Fortress was in full swing. Even though the barbarian army had made no progress in their repeated attacks, everyone in the army was very confident that they could capture the fortress. Especially after seeing the flag of the Duke of Raging Waves flying over the fortress, the barbarians regarded the head of the powerful minister Meteor as the first achievement of this battle.
Therefore, when the Duke of Celtic received the news that the Abyss Temple had been completely slaughtered, the first thing he did was to immediately block the information, and then issue a generous reward and title to the warriors who first climbed to the top of the Triumphal Fortress.
The barbarians threw themselves into the battle without hesitation.
The Celtic Duke urgently summoned the military adviser of the Golden People and asked them to provide high-end military forces to assist in attacking the fortress.
"We don't have time ! Moonlight Queen Qingkong is in the Holy Mountain. She just slaughtered the Abyss Temple and killed everyone inside, including the First Apostle Bridges. If she attacks my castle, the defenders there will not be able to fight her.
You, the Shining Gold, must join the war, attack Clear Sky, and attack Triumph Fortress. Otherwise, the Barbarian Legion will be demoralized, and my rule in the Tedegar Hills will also collapse.
Those humans are not as honest as before!"
Leading the Shuojin people's military advisory group this time are Shuojin people Suo and Pei, who are twin brothers and were born as debt collectors.
In response to Duke Celtic's request, the twin brothers exchanged glances, and then the elder brother Suo answered, "I'm sorry, Duke Celtic. According to our intelligence, Queen Clear Sky only attacked the Abyss Temple in the Holy Mountain, and did not attack other people and institutions. This situation is likely a personal grudge between Queen Clear Sky and the Abyss Temple. The World Bank has cooperated with the Moonlight Royal Court in many areas. If Queen Clear Sky does not directly intervene in the war, we cannot attack the Queen.
As for attacking the Triumph Fortress... According to the information obtained by the World Bank from the City of Raging Waves, Meteor has been building a secret weapon that combines the world's top technologies and is a very destructive weapon. Now that weapon has been built and has left the City of Raging Waves.
Given that the Magic Titans created by Raging Waves City already have the ability to fight against the Shining Gold Man, we cannot throw the Shining Gold Man into this war first, as that would put us in a passive position. "
Seeing that the war had reached this point, the Shining Gold people still had no intention of joining the war, and even ignored Qingkong's attack on the Abyss Temple.
Duke Celtic said angrily: "Is this the attitude of the Shining Gold people towards their allies? Clear Sky is obviously on the side of the Empire. She is fighting for the Empire by attacking the Abyss Temple. You said that she has a personal grudge with the Abyss Temple, but why be resolved at this time?
Are your eyes blind?"
Suo and Pei looked at each other, both helpless.
In order to appease the Duke of Celtic, Suo had to say, "We, the Shining Gold people, have a very important matter recently and need the help of the Queen of Clear Sky, and this matter is related to the Abyss Temple."
Pei shared Suo's pressure at the right time: "The World Bank will negotiate with the Queen of Clear Sky. If she attacks targets other than the Abyss Temple in the Holy Mountain, the Golden Man will take action."
After listening to the two brothers' vague words, Duke Celtic immediately understood. He whispered, "Is the Queen of Clear Sky attacking the Abyss Temple because of the Abyss?"
Suo said nothing, but nodded.
The Celtic Duke asked again: "Is the artifact really in the abyss?"
Suo continued to nod.
The Celtic Duke knew that he couldn't ask any more questions, but his expression was much better than before.
The Abyss Temple no longer had much value to exploit for the Celtic Duke who had clung to the Golden Man. Moreover, the Tedega Hills were in the process of industrialization, so he looked down upon the mysterious secret arts of the Abyss Temple.
If we take this opportunity to close the Abyss Temple, it may not be a bad thing. This group of crazy Abyss mages are too difficult to control.
Now that the rumor that the artifact is in the abyss has been confirmed, the Shining Gold Man naturally dare not offend Qingkong, who holds the Book of Disaster.
When the artifact returns, the world will once again be under the control of the five ancient civilizations...
No!
There are four great civilizations.
The Shining Gold Civilization destroyed the Shadow Civilization almost silently, proving with its strength that the Shining Gold Civilization is still the most powerful civilization.
Once I board the ship of the Shining Golden Civilization, the barbarians will surely overwhelm humans and become the mainstream race in the world.
Thinking about the future, the Celtic Duke couldn't help but feel high-spirited.
This battle is a crucial one to prove myself. If I ask the Golden Man for help, I will appear to be too incompetent.
"Within three days, I will recapture the Triumph Fortress!"
The battle for the Triumph Fortress became more intense.
At this time, Qingkong had left the Tedega Hills and flew back to the Moonlight Palace.
Under the World Tree, on the Moon Lake, all those who wanted to enter the abyss to search for the artifact gathered on the lake.
Shining gold people, angels, demons, dragons, shadow tribes...
There are also some people whose origins are unknown and who also want to enter the abyss.
No matter how much hatred they have for each other outside, they all stay obediently in their own area here.
The lake surface was as still as a mirror, reflecting the majestic figure of the World Tree.
At a certain moment, the space was in a trance, and Qingkong walked out of the space door that opened under the tree.
Seeing so many people preparing to enter the abyss, she couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many people who are not afraid of death!"
Angel Theresa stepped forward, she saluted respectfully to the clear sky and the world tree, and said respectfully: "Respected Moonlight Queen, Respected Moonlight Tree King. The artifact is too important to the five ancient civilizations, and our lives are not worth mentioning in this matter.
When can I enter the abyss?"
Qingkong looked at Theresa, and also saw Archangel Gold not far away, and then said to Theresa: "It seems that you have a competitor. If Archangel Gold finds the Sculpture of Light first, the prestige of retrieving the artifact will be enough for him to overthrow the rule of the Sword of Oath."
Theresa had already met Archangel Gold, and she replied to Clear Sky: "It depends on who fate chooses."
"Destiny is more likely to choose death!"
“The price is worth it.”
"I can only wish you good luck." Qingkong ended her conversation with Theresa, and turned to the approaching golden dragon King Tyron and said, "King Taotie wrote to me asking me to take care of you, but I don't have the final say in the abyss. Whether you can find the artifact and get out alive depends on you."
The Golden Dragon King Tairen bowed his head and saluted: "Respected Moonlight Queen, Respected Moonlight Tree King, during this time on Moon Lake, my heart has never been more peaceful, and I can see the road ahead more clearly.
It is my responsibility to find the artifact, thank you for your concern."
"Good luck to you..." Qingkong turned to another acquaintance and said, "Elder Mu, I didn't expect that the person sent to the abyss by the Golden Man would be you."
Elder Mu expressed his respect to Qingkong and Moonlight Tree King, and then said: "This is probably the only thing I can do for the Sparkling Gold Civilization now."
Elder Pastor’s words were few, but they were enough to make clear what he wanted to say.
Now the only authority in the Shuojin civilization is Tan, and the Council of Elders has become a decoration for Tan to issue orders. Although Elder Mu has retained his position as an elder, he no longer has any real power.
"Good luck to you, too."
Qingkong looked at the others again.
There are four demons, and I don't know who sent them. There are seven shadow tribes, and the artifact is the hope for the shadow civilization to rise again. They are going to risk their lives.
There are thirteen others whose origins are unknown.
Qingkong didn't say hello to anyone else, and a water platform lifted her up.
"I will open the abyss for you now. It is your own choice whether to enter or not. It has nothing to do with me."
After saying this, Qingkong held up the Book of Disaster in one hand, and with the other hand he scattered the mysterious props needed to activate the secret technique.
"All disasters begin in the abyss and end in the abyss!"
The secret technique is activated.
The sky suddenly darkened, and the day turned into night. The sky was pitch black, and the crown of the World Tree could not be seen, but the starry sky was still reflected on the Moon Lake. The full moon was bright, and the stars were shining, as if representing this prosperous world.
Suddenly, a crack appeared on the lake surface, winding through the entire Moon Lake. Then the crack stretched to both sides, and a dark gully without a trace of light appeared under everyone's feet.
Fear suddenly surged into everyone's heart. Even though they were the strongest people in the world, they couldn't help but tremble when facing the abyss. Looking into the abyss, even if they couldn't see anything in the abyss, they seemed to see the most tragic thing they could imagine.
Despair, helplessness...
Need redemption!
Redemption!
When everyone was lost in the face of the abyss, a trickle of rain fell from the World Tree.
The chaotic mind finally stabilized, allowing these strong men to see the power of the abyss. Just standing on the edge and staring, they were already so embarrassed. Can they still keep their original heart after entering the abyss?
Qingkong on the water platform said at this time: "The abyss is right under your feet. This is all I can do to help you. Whether you take this step or not depends on your final determination."
The golden dragon King Tyran took a deep breath and jumped into the abyss first. His body disappeared without a trace after it sank into the darkness.
Then came the angels Theresa and Gold. The holy light emanating from them still did not cause any ripples in the darkness.
Then other people who came to explore the abyss jumped in one by one.
Those who came were all people of strong minds, and no one retreated from the abyss.
In a flash, Qingkong was the only one left at the edge of the abyss.
"Have you decided to enter the abyss?" Qingkong asked Luke in the spiritual starry sky.
Luke replied: "Now that the abyss is opened, it would be a shame not to go in and take a look."
“But…” Qingkong was worried for the first time: “The abyss will crush me and I won’t be able to control this body, so you can only use your consciousness to control it. Anything can happen in the abyss.
It might even hurt you.”
"My destiny is under my control, not handed over to the unknown. Controlling this body into the abyss has already avoided most of the risks for me. The rest I can handle to my heart's content."
Qingkong didn't try to persuade her any further: "May the stars bless you."
“I hope it will protect me!”
Under the World Tree, Qingkong on the water platform stretched out his hand.
Seven identical black beads lay in the palm of her hand.
The secret words came out from Qingkong's mouth:
"Gate of the Abyss"
Seven black beads shattered into smoke, which gathered, pulled, and turned like dough, becoming increasingly viscous, and soon turned into a black liquid like asphalt. The black liquid then plasticized into a pitch-black revolving door, standing in front of the clear sky.
Qingkong took a step forward, the gate of the abyss rotated, and Qingkong, who had transformed into an apostle of the abyss, walked out from the other side of the gate.
The light green hair turned pale, the green eyes turned blood red, the shriveled skin made her look like a zombie, and black mist shrouded her body, exuding an oppressive and violent aura.
Qingkong took a deep breath and suppressed the frenzy in his heart that wanted to destroy everything.
She raised her arms, and a black ball of light gathered in her palms.
Feeling the extremely powerful energy in his body, Qingkong said to himself: "This may be your purpose. Here I come...
abyss!"
Qingkong jumped into the abyss.
