Volume 4 Chapter 540: Parallel Space? Lilith's Answer!
Levi turned and joined forces with Elegy and others to eliminate the remaining demons.
This didn't take them much time, but at the last minute, when Levi wanted to study the Khorne motorcycles, he encountered a little difficulty.
They and the demon on the seat should share life, and even though they were forcibly restrained by Levi's magic, they were not honest and kept trying to bite him.
When they find they cannot escape, the wounds on their bodies will suddenly burst into flames and burn themselves directly, dying together with their riders. Then most of their bodies will turn into ashes. This is obviously a special way of keeping secrets.
So apart from confirming that they were a special kind of semi-metallic demons and that their fuel was indeed blood, Levi didn't gain much else.
He could only ask the Ratmaster to pick up the remaining brass and take it back to the Dwarven blacksmiths for analysis to see if there was anything in common with the Chaos Dwarven railways.
At this time, all the demons present were killed, and many holy warriors gathered around and expressed their gratitude to Levi.
At the same time, the system also reminded Levi that he survived the canonization ceremony of the Vampire God and participated in the elimination of demons, thus gaining 1 point of legend, which was better than nothing.
After some polite exchanges, Levi began to purify the dead city with the holy warriors.
It was not easy for him to deal with the corpses for the time being, and the holy warriors also took the initiative to express that they wanted to collect the corpses and then place them one by one.
Although the owners of these corpses may have committed many evil deeds during their lifetime, they should not continue to be desecrated after their death.
Of course Levi would not compete with them for this kind of job. He just took the Book of Refuge and began to deal with the plague left by the Nurgle demons.
The Black Prince immediately found Lucelia's small treasury, allowing Levi to obtain various valuables worth about 30,000 gold coins.
To be honest, under normal circumstances, even if he had the courage, the Black Prince would not dare to act in a town with hundreds of holy knights. He would just slip away as soon as possible.
Because he himself knew that his appearance was very suspicious. If the paladins threw a detection camp at him, he would be beaten up in the next second.
Although he was committed to rebuilding the Strigoi Empire so that humans and vampires could live in peace, after so many years in the Southern Kingdom, his hands were inevitably stained with a lot of blood, not to mention his identity as a vampire.
But because he was with Levi, even though many holy knights, including the Messenger of Light, looked at him a little strangely, they still suppressed their curiosity and impulse.
Because they all understood that no matter what problems the Black Prince had, since Levi, as a celestial mystic, tolerated his existence, there must be a reason.
Mature and wise paladins will gradually understand that for the sake of true justice and light, they must learn to be patient.
This made the Black Prince feel deeply moved. It seemed that following Lilith and having a good relationship with Levi would indeed have many benefits.
So in order to make this relationship closer, should I also make more efforts?
So after much thought, he took the initiative to propose to Levi that he should contact the Bloody Tsar and then pull her into his camp.
Levi was quite supportive of this, so he directly gave the armor he got from Manfred to the Black Prince, and asked him to cooperate with Lucia to wait for an opportunity to act.
With the Bloody Tsarine's annoying character and Manfred's pettiness, she will be stabbed in the back by Manfred sooner or later, and then it will be the Black Prince's chance.
However, he will not pay attention to the subsequent progress for the time being. It is good if the other party can join, but if he still refuses to repent or becomes an enemy of his side, then he will be killed.
At this point, a legend like the other party is no longer a strong enemy for us.
The Black Prince did not expect Levi to be so generous. Although he was moved, he did not feel greedy at all.
It's not that he is really so noble, but more because of his awe for Lilith.
He is not even a legend now. If he really betrays Lilith because of such a small matter, death may come at any time.
If a god wants to deal with a mortal being, as long as she is willing to pay a price and offer a bounty, even a demon or a devil may temporarily serve her.
After working for a while, a knight riding a Pegasus and holding a holy hammer also arrived.
It was Grayson, the contemporary Lightbringer of the Silver Hand, a legendary paladin.
Although he looked very serious, after a few words, Levi found that the other party was unexpectedly easy to deal with.
He was not sure for the moment whether this was related to his identity as a celestial mystic or to the two legends, Khalida and Penthesilea, standing behind him, but that didn't matter.
The important thing is that with just a few words, he successfully reached a certain level of cooperation with the other party. In the future, when fighting against demons, devils and other evils from other worlds, the two sides can help each other.
Yes, the whole process is that simple.
For the paladins, Levi's profession and camp are enough to win their respect and recognition.
After a while of further busy work, forces from several nearby towns also sent out some forces.
Some really wanted to help, while others just wanted to take advantage of the situation, collect some spoils, or simply occupy the territory.
During this process, some evil forces that usually disliked each other also fought because of uneven distribution of spoils.
But they were all smart enough to keep the battle within a certain range, because if they provoked the holy warriors, they might all be wiped out.
Although the number of holy knights is small, they have a strong deterrent effect on most evil forces.
Later, even the Crimson Knights, whose armour only developed followers in the Southern Kingdom, and the Church of the Goddess of War, Melmitia, sent out several teams to join forces with the paladins to purify the town.
Levi also politely greeted some of the kinder beings.
The gods and churches of the good camp often prefer group fighting tactics when fighting against evil. If you get to know them now, you may have a chance to cooperate with them in the future.
It took some time, but Levi completely cleansed the city of the plague of Nurgle and also looted some spoils.
Some members of the evil church died too quickly and had no time to take their belongings away. The demons were not interested in it, and the vampires did not have the time and energy to plunder it. Now a considerable portion of it fell into Levi's hands, allowing him to collect treasures worth about 20,000 gold coins.
It’s not that those churches are really that poor, but most of their wealth is carried in space rings. With the death of the holder and the destruction of the space ring, it may be difficult to recover those properties.
This also gave rise to some special treasure hunters. Some plane merchants and dragons like to search for these lost treasures.
However, Levi deliberately avoided the location of the Church of Wealth. On the one hand, it was because Dracula had already visited there, and the possibility of there being any remaining was very low.
On the other hand, if the Fortune Church saw his behavior, even if the two sides had some cooperative relationship in Baiyin Town before , he might provoke strong hostility. The Fortune Church was particularly sensitive to this aspect.
Moreover, the Fortune Church has always been extremely powerful in a chaotic country like the Southern Kingdom. Reinforcements from other nearby towns might arrive soon. It would be too embarrassing to be caught red-handed by the other side at that time.
But other members of the church were not as wise as him. For example, the priests of Shandakel, the god of travel and exploration, could not resist the temptation and chose to find out the truth.
Levi felt at that time that something dramatic might happen next, because there was already a grudge between these two gods.
It is said that a long time ago, Waukeen was once imprisoned for more than ten years by the demon lord of the Abyss, the Dark Lord Graz'zt. She suffered countless humiliations, and her divine power and believers plummeted as a result.
Shandakel then attempted to seize Waukeen's caravans and merchant priesthood, with some success.
Although he took back some of it after Woking's successful return, the hatred between the two would obviously not be easily eliminated.
What's more, the two priesthoods complement each other, which is very embarrassing.
Currently, Sandakor's godhood level is 7, while Waukim's is 9. The latter has the advantage, but the former's reputation is much better than the latter.
As the god of travel and exploration, many adventurers are protected by Shandakel, and the Church of Waukeen can easily adjust their flexible bottom line for the sake of money, and they often step into the gray area.
Moreover, Sandakol has many friends. He has a good relationship with the human gods of nature and forests, many gods of the elves, the goddess of wind elements, and Ms. Luck.
Of course, he was also put on the disaster girl's blacklist because of this.
As for Waukeen, she basically has no other friends except the goddess of joy, Lila, who is also notoriously weak among the weak divine powers.
The wealth she amassed in the main world is of little use to the truly powerful gods.
The good gods hate the many shady deals her followers engage in, and the evil gods don't think much of her either.
After fighting overtly and covertly for a while, both sides wanted the other's priesthood, but they also needed the other's power. When they were not sure they could deal with the other, they could only maintain superficial peace.
But in fact, the private intrigues between the two sides have never stopped.
Sure enough, within half a quarter of an hour after the people from the Shandakel Church entered, some members of the Woking Church, covered in golden light, had already arrived and blocked the other party inside.
This time, not only Levi, but many members of the surrounding churches also became excited. They obviously knew about the past grievances between the two churches.
But before the fun could begin, news came from Cindy that the little girl named Alice had woken up.
Although Levi felt a little regretful, he still chose to go there as soon as possible to see how special this little girl was that even Seleket had to admire.
It's true, Alice showed calmness and wisdom beyond her age. She first expressed her gratitude to everyone who rescued her, and then she told everyone her life story.
Both of her parents were scholars in a special profession. They had almost no fighting ability, but they had certain cultural attainments. This enabled Alice to have a certain cultural background at a young age.
Unfortunately, they died in the war several years ago, and Alice has been following her alcoholic mercenary uncle ever since.
Although she didn't eat well, didn't wear warm clothes, and was running around all day, she looked like she was 8 or 9 years old even though she was 12 years old. But at least she got the chance to live.
But as she grew older, the way her uncle looked at her became less and less right.
If it weren't for what happened today, she would probably be sold to some nobles as a maid in a while, or even worse.
Under Lucelia's management, there were many brothels in Pavenna, and although Alice was young, she had already shown some beauty.
So she was indeed a little sad about her uncle's death, because he was her only relative, but for her, it was also a relief.
It was better to follow powerful and kind beings like Levi than to continue staying with her uncle and waiting for a completely unknown dark fate.
In order to repay Levi for saving her life, Alice was willing to obey all of Levi's instructions as long as he didn't sell her.
If possible, she also hopes to kill some demons with her own hands in the future to avenge her uncle.
Hearing this, even warriors like Elegy and Donna couldn't help but feel a lot of sympathy.
But considering the other party's extremely high perception and her deliberate pretending to be asleep, Levi felt that there must be a part of Alice's sincerity in this.
But is it possible that the other part was something she thought of while pretending to be asleep and deliberately told to herself and others?
Although Levi didn't want to speculate about a teenage girl in this way out of emotional reasons, his rationality told him that Alice was most likely a scheming girl.
Of course, he didn't have much prejudice against this, because she was just a powerless little girl. It was normal for her to be on guard against a group of strangers, even if they were strangers who saved her life.
Unfortunately, this alone is not enough for her to survive in this dangerous world.
So after Levi decided to return to Fear Rock, in addition to finding someone to continue teaching her writing and knowledge and letting Amazon train her martial arts, he could also throw her next to Alyssa.
As a priestess who came from the Snake Cult and finally successfully left the organization on her own, Alyssa's scheming and wisdom are far beyond the reach of little Alice.
After she has acquired enough knowledge and established a correct outlook on life and values, she will be thrown onto the Black Ark and have the Medusa Prophet - Grena, teach her some knowledge from the dark elves.
Once you understand evil, you will naturally be better able to fight against it.
After that, after some training, I could find her a better job change opportunity, take her to fight demons or something, and Alice would probably be really useful.
But she is still too young, so don't count on her for at least a few years.
After confirming these, saying hello to the Messenger of Light and saying goodbye to the Black Prince, Levi summoned the bear-headed gods and collectively used teleportation spells to return to the Terror Rock.
Pavenna was in such a state after being beaten to this state, and the local residents were basically all dead. Even after purification, post-war reconstruction would be extremely difficult. He no longer cared who would become the new owner of this place.
He let everyone rest, personally settled Alice down, and threw the wreckage of the Khorne motorcycle to the dwarf blacksmiths. Then Levi began to contact Lilith, preparing to report the situation and raise a question of his own.
But after listening to it, Lilith didn't seem particularly happy.
Levi felt a little weird. He felt he had done nothing wrong, so was there something else going wrong?
Lilith sighed, "Levi, Erifen Irasil has just fallen."
"What?" Levi was suddenly surprised.
Erefin Irahil, whose portfolio includes mischief, alteration, and rogue.
The first two are fine, but wanderers can basically be seen as a collection of thieves, rogues, robbers, etc., so Erefin Irahil is often regarded as the elf's god of dexterity and thieves.
Not to mention that the God of Thieves is best at saving his life, he is also a weak god, who can kill him so easily? And the system has not made any announcement!
"It was the Spider Queen, Rose, who did it."
"About a few months ago, Rose, in the name of the Dark Maiden, Eilistraee, released a piece of false information to the God of Thieves, saying that she had discovered a treasure trove belonging to the Spider Queen, Rose. This successfully lured him to the Underdark."
"After a series of seemingly dangerous adventures, the God of Thieves successfully reached the treasure house."
"But the power of his clone was not enough to obtain the contents, so he took the risk and sent out his real body."
"He did open the treasure house and obtained the treasures inside, including a real ancient artifact."
"But what he didn't know was that the artifact called the Rose of Kirashar not only contained an extremely powerful curse power, but also had a hidden power unleashed by Rose."
"When the artifact was obtained, the God of Thieves was also corrupted and controlled. Rose even sneaked into the God of Thieves' kingdom because of this."
"Lolth's original intention may have been to gradually steal the priesthood and faith of the God of Thieves, and eventually replace him."
"But what Rose didn't expect was that the goddess of love and beauty in our pantheon, Lady Goldenheart Hanali Seranil, was recently having a hot relationship with the God of Thieves. When she visited him, she keenly noticed something unusual."
"Lolth, sensing something was wrong, left immediately, and before Corellon could take action, she slaughtered the God of Thieves, who had already been completely controlled by her."
"Now the kingdom of the God of Thieves and his statue in the main world have begun to collapse. His priests have also lost their power. We have lost him forever."
Levi rubbed his head and digested the information.
After all, Rose was once the queen of the elven pantheon and was very familiar with the elven kingdom. She herself was very powerful and controlled the God of Thieves, so it was not completely incomprehensible that she successfully sneaked into the kingdom of the elven gods.
Perhaps it was because there were no third-party witnesses when Rose killed the God of Thieves, so there was no system announcement, just like the Naga goddess who died inexplicably before, and no one knows who the murderer is until now.
While Levi was always on guard against whether Rose would appear in Dracula's canonization ceremony, he didn't know that she had already opened up another battlefield and gained greater benefits.
No wonder she never showed up when we killed many drow elves in the Underdark.
As for the Lady of Golden Heart, she was famous for her complicated emotional history. It was said that most of the male gods in the elven pantheon, except for a few such as Corellon, had had romantic relationships with her.
In other words, basically, gods related to romance and love are all very fickle. They prefer to enjoy themselves rather than fight.
Unexpectedly, she made a great contribution this time. Otherwise, if Rose's plan succeeded, it might not just be the God of Thieves who died.
But the death of the God of Thieves is a loss that is difficult to make up for for the elven pantheon, as the elves do not have a second God of Thieves.
Moreover, Rose is very good at weaving traps. The two priesthoods of mischief and change are indeed of little use to the God of Thieves, but if they are given to Rose, it will be completely different.
It's even possible that Rose might take this opportunity to do something to the Dark Girl.
Although the Dark Girl might have been completely unaware of the situation from beginning to end and had no involvement in it, the reason why the God of Thieves was deceived was initially because of his trust in the Dark Girl.
With Rose's vicious character, she would never let go of such an opportunity, even if it was just to disgust the Dark Girl.
"So, what is the decision of God King Corellon now?"
Lilith sighed, "He promised that he would do his best to hunt down Rose, but we both know that nothing will really come of it."
After Rose's betrayal, Corellon thought that this was his own family affair, so he insisted on solving the problem independently.
But the facts proved that he had neither the determination nor the ability.
Not only is Rose extremely powerful, her lair is also a bottomless abyss that is difficult for the gods to set foot in. This has resulted in the elves always being on the defensive for countless years, and their counterattacks rarely having any effect.
Even though the elven pantheon lost a weaker divine power this time, it can be expected that at most the elves will make a few expeditions to the Underdark and kill more drow elves who believe in Lolth.
They will still be very powerless against Rose herself.
"So what can I do?"
"Get the last volume of the Nine Volumes of Nagash as soon as possible, uncover the secrets hidden in it, and strive to become a god as soon as possible!"
The fact that she said "as quickly as possible" twice in a row showed that the death of the God of Thieves had indeed put a lot of pressure on Lilith.
But this is not an easy thing to do. Arkhan has held the Nine Volumes of Nagash for more than a thousand years. This is almost a semi-public secret, but during this period, no one has ever succeeded in taking it from him.
On the one hand, it was because Arkhan was very powerful, and on the other hand, it was because he was really very cautious and he never stayed in one place for too long.
But in the face of Lilith's eager expectations, Levi could only nod in agreement.
Next, we will have to cooperate more with King Ramizazi and Queen Rashut of the Tomb Kings and ask them for help to find out the whereabouts of Arkhan.
At the same time, he should accumulate more powerful summons. When he finds Arkhan, he can directly use the power of the Crimson Knight to forcibly pull him into the chessboard battle. The chance of success will be much greater.
He then shared the Crimson Knights' intention to form an alliance, as well as other information, with Lilith.
Lilith immediately said that she would contact the Crimson Knight later to discuss the details.
The reason why the Crimson Knight didn't contact her directly might be because he was concerned about his reputation, worried about being rejected, etc.
But she is not so particular. Now all the gods know that Lilith is the goddess who loves making friends the most.
"Death Titan, King Kong War Beetle, and Khorne Motorcycle?"
Just hearing these three special words, Lilith frowned a little, because she was very unfamiliar with them.
"Could it be that Arkhan, Prince Beetle, Dracula, and Manfred have formed an alliance?"
This is not incomprehensible, because they are originally a group of evil people who are hated by everyone in the main world. In order to fight against the enemy, they may also exchange some interests.
"As for the Chaos Dwarves, I don't know much about them. The god they believe in, Hasut, is extremely mysterious. I only know that his duties are related to fire, machinery, and transformation."
"However, his exact race, strength, and appearance are still mysteries."
"Then could he be a pseudonym created by some evil god?"
Normally, even an evil god would not hide himself so tightly in order to expand his own beliefs, unless he himself cannot stand the light.
"It is possible, but we don't have any relevant clues or evidence, and it does not rule out that he chose to cooperate with Khorne."
After a few seconds of silence, Levi spoke again and told Lilith about the abnormal behavior of the chosen heroes.
Lilith was also silent for a few seconds, and then she asked back: "Levi, do you know the concept of parallel space?"
In an instant, Levi felt his heartbeat suddenly accelerated several times.
He had had a doubt long ago. Even powerful gods like Corellon seemed to be unaware of the revival of the Four Chaos Gods and the disasters that might happen in the future.
How did Lilith know this? Was it because her father was Asuryan?
But now Lilith's words gave him a vague idea.
Before he could say anything, Lilith smiled and said, "Very good , it seems that you do know. Then I will tell you."
"It was probably during the Elven Split that I suddenly and indirectly received a large amount of memories from a parallel dimension."
"There, I am still called Lilith, and I am still the innocent elf girl, the goddess of mist, and the goddess of the lake in the Knight Kingdom, but that world is very different from here."
"The humans, dwarves, elves, etc. there don't have so many gods, nor are they so powerful."
"Besides the main world there, there are not many other planes. The four elemental realms, Mount Heaven, the Abyss, the Nine Layers of Hell, etc., all do not exist."
"But the environment there is even more desperate than our world, because there is a subspace that gathers countless demons. It is the realm of the four gods of chaos."
"Yes, they stood , and had an overwhelming advantage over gods and mortals alike. It was a world filled with despair."
"Lilith there witnessed with her own eyes the entire world being ravaged by the Four Chaos Gods until its utter destruction."
"In the process, she tried many things but failed to change her fate. Instead, she accelerated the destruction of the world in a sense."
At this point, Lilith seemed a little distressed, because if she hadn't obtained this part of the memory in advance, if she were in the other person's shoes, she would most likely have made similar moves.
For the ultimate victory, a little sacrifice is worth it, but if all forces can be united, those sacrifices may be avoided and can become her strength.
Sighing softly, she continued, "Then by chance, I got these memories."
"At first, I thought it was a trick by some evil god, such as Rose."
"It wasn't until I succeeded in stopping the war between the elves and dwarves that I knew this was real, and not an illusion."
“So after that, I gradually used this knowledge to do a lot of things.”
"For example, becoming the goddess of mist ahead of time, leading the establishment of the Knight Kingdom ahead of time, becoming the goddess of the lake, and making friends with all the gods."
"After that, I discovered elves with excellent talents such as Teclis and Eltharion. They all stood with me in that parallel dimension."
"Unfortunately, there are still many differences between the two worlds. My actions will inevitably be hindered by many gods."
"My memory is not always reliable. When I change one thing, many things that follow will change as a result."
"Especially after the God-chosen heroes appeared, my memory became even more useless, because in that parallel dimension, you did not exist."
Levi rubbed his head and said, "Then how did the Four Chaos Gods become what they are now in our world?"
"That involves another issue. This was obtained at the expense of the ancient gods and the help of a great being from another world."
Levi was not too surprised this time. Except for a few gods such as Asuryan of the elven pantheon, many ancient gods who were once very powerful had clearly disappeared.
only……
"An alien being, like Zeus and the others?"
"No, Zeus is like a serf to the gods compared to that one."
"How is that possible?"
The reason why Zeus seems to be weak is that he is just a clone, so his strength is not strong, but despite this, he is still a weak god.
Lilith actually thinks so highly of that being from another world?
Lilith smiled slyly, showing a rare bit of girlish demeanor: "Levi, have you noticed that your father's unique symbol, as well as the entire Ulthuan roundabout, are very similar to a pattern that is more popular in China?"
"It was not invented by the Zhendan Dragon Emperor, but brought by that alien being."
"Father was the first one to come into contact with the other party, so he was able to unite many ancient gods, seal the four gods of chaos together, and become one of the last survivors."
"You know, those ancient gods are not all kind or orderly. They had no awareness of devoting themselves to the world at the beginning."
In an instant, Li Wei was struck by lightning and almost blurted out "Oh shit".
If that person really is the one who created him, let alone instructing Asuryan in sealing the Four Gods of Chaos, he would have no problem eating them like candy.
Because that pattern is clearly the Tai Chi diagram!
