Volume 4 Chapter 614: Full Outbreak
A few minutes later, Dracula, his kingdom of God, and the 487th level of the Abyss were all completely destroyed.
Even without gods like Clemvor and Mystra, with the power of Lilith and Levi, it would not be difficult to completely destroy a layer of the bottomless abyss.
With the majority against the minority, the strong against the weak, there was no suspense in this battle.
It’s just that all the gods who participated couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.
In the past, it might take hundreds of years for a god to fall, but how many gods have fallen in the past year?
And it is foreseeable that this is far from the end.
However, for the gods, this may also be an opportunity for a major reshuffle. If new gods such as Levi can hold on to the end and take the opportunity to gain some benefits, they may be able to overcome the accumulation of hundreds or thousands of years in peacetime.
In addition to a few fragments of the godhead, Dracula's priesthood also remained in place, but what surprised the gods was that in addition to the priesthoods of vampire and bloodsucking, there were three special priesthood fragments, one of debauchery and two of blood.
Blood is fine, although it is not common, but many evil gods such as the God of Blood Hands - Cain, the Lord of Beasts - Malar, and the White Mole - Erdren, all have this priesthood.
But as for debauchery, they had never seen it, let alone even heard of it.
Considering that Dracula had reached a certain degree of cooperation with the demons under the Four Chaos Gods before he was deified, this was most likely what Dracula obtained from Slaanesh.
In this way, the purpose of the thousands of women of various races and age groups in Dracula's kingdom seems to be more explainable.
After a little consideration, Levi gave both the vampire and blood-sucking priesthoods to Lucia. The former was a racial priesthood, while the latter might involve creatures that could suck blood, such as leeches, mosquitoes and vampire bats. Combined with Lucia's original priesthood, her future prospects were still very good.
Then there is blood, and its scope is even wider. Whether it is birds, beasts, angels, or demons, all have blood.
Lilith, Yue Gong and others were a little confused for a moment. They didn't understand what the use of Levi was in keeping the fragment of the priesthood - Debauchery. However, they didn't rush to ask, because Levi would not hide it from them anyway.
Isis and Donna took Ursun, Khepri and others back to Mount Heaven, preparing to rebuild the kingdom of God there.
Satisfied, Lucia and Anubis also returned to the underworld and began to shift their focus to defending the underworld. With so many demon gods so rampant recently, it is inevitable that they will focus on stealing and robbing souls.
Although they had never had to worry about this problem thanks to the defensive facilities left by Jergal, they still had to do their part.
Illidan and Imrik also returned to the kingdom of Arvandor, ready to participate in the ongoing defense war.
Of course, it is impossible for them to confront Rose head-on. In fact, it is not their turn to take action. They are just making their position clear.
The drow pantheon established by Rose also has a few soft persimmons in it, or they always want to betray Rose, so they never put in any effort.
For example, the goddess of immortality and vengeance, Qiyarunsali, who is a level 2 divinity.
She was originally an evil god from a small plane. Before Rose's fall, she was one of the most hostile evil gods among the elven gods.
After Rose fell, she was forcibly subdued, but it is conceivable that it is impossible for her to be truly loyal to Rose. If the time is right, she may even stab Rose in the back.
With the strength of Imrik, Illidan and others, it would be a good opportunity for them to fight with Qiyarunsali. While increasing their experience in fighting with gods, it would also be relatively safe because she would definitely not put in any effort.
Similarly, the situation is similar for the greenskin gods such as Gruumsh. Before Lolth fell, they had fought with the greenskin gods many times, and the two sides had already formed a mortal feud.
Now they can have a short ceasefire to deal with their common enemy, but both sides will definitely not fight for each other.
Levi, Lilith, Yue Gong and the others originally planned to go to the Star King's Court, but before that, they still needed to meet with two beings in turn.
As the cold moonlight shone, a beautiful drow elf with skin as black as black jade appeared.
It is worth mentioning that, except for a silver sword, she had nothing else on her body, not even any clothes. Instead, she had gorgeous silver hair that reached her ankles, which acted as clothes and covered several sensitive parts of her body.
It was the dark girl - Eilistraee.
Since they were no longer strangers, they did not exchange too many pleasantries. Iristri came up and asked for help directly: "Your Highnesses, please help me and rescue those kind-hearted drow!"
After a quick explanation, Levi, Lilith and the others realized that it wasn't just Rose who took action, but other evil gods in the Underdark as well.
For example, the God of Gray Dwarves - Durrag, the Goddess of Kuo-Toa - Bribodup, the God of Aboleth Demon Fish - Blood Queen - Paiske Sesis, the God of Eye Demons - Great Matron, the God of Illithidun - Ilshensin, the Demon Ray - Isidron...
They have different origins, some are evil gods, some were originally demons and recently became demon gods, and some are from the Kingdom of God in the Nine Hells and have cooperated with the demons.
But at this special moment, they all became active and rushed to the surface world together, obviously intending to take advantage of this opportunity to join in the carnival.
Although they would take revenge and grudges against each other in the process, they had a common enemy, that was Eilistraee.
That's right. In the Underdark, except for the gods of the dwarven and gnome pantheons with whom she maintained good relations, Eilistraee had provoked almost all the gods of other evil races.
Originally, these gods were all hostile to each other, and she, with a godhood of 7, was not someone to be trifled with. In addition, there were good gods from the surface world who helped her from time to time, so even though her situation was very difficult, she was still able to get by.
But now it is different. Rose used her divine power to block Eilistraee's perception in advance and slaughtered a large group of drow elves who worshipped goodness.
The remaining drow elves were besieged by so many evil forces. If Eilistraee was not careful, her believers in the Underdark might really be killed all at once.
But Lilith was a little embarrassed about how to relocate them. Recently, the entire elves have been shrinking their territories to deal with possible crises. Even many overseas fortresses have been withdrawn. There is not much space left in the remaining colonies to be allocated to these drow, even though they are like vampires, hiding during the day and coming out at night.
And even though most non-elf gods, including her and Moonbow, are kind to Eilistraee, many high elves find it difficult to distinguish which drow believe in Lolth and which believe in Eilistraee, and it is difficult for her to arrange them together and make them live in peace.
The situation is similar for Moonbow. The night elves have been developing rapidly recently, and have cooperated with Winged Elves, Sea Elves, etc. They have a high demand for territory, and there is not much that can be allocated to Eilistraee.
Although the number of drow who worship goodness is relatively small, and they have just experienced a massacre, they still number in the tens of thousands.
Eilistraee once did a rigorous statistical analysis and found that the proportion of drow elves who worship goodness in the entire drow race is approximately 15%-20%.
Although it cannot be compared with the Bretonnia Knight Kingdom with a population of 20 million, and the Sigma Empire with a population of 40 million, not to mention the Zhendan Empire, which has the largest population in the entire main world.
But there are still millions of drow elves. Even if we take the lowest 15% of them, and even if the benevolent drow elves have just experienced a massacre, it is still not a small number and cannot be easily arranged.
So they could only look at Levi who seemed to be thinking about something.
In fact, Levi had just received news from the dwarf gods. When this large group of evil gods and the evil races under their command rushed out of the Underdark collectively, the first to be hit was Eilistraee, followed by the dwarves and gnomes. Now they are also in crisis.
Levi came back to his senses and nodded, indicating that he understood: "If Her Highness Iristria doesn't mind, you can let them go to the Dark Land or the Lustria Continent, but those two places also have some disadvantages."
He has recently been working with the Dwarven pantheon, attempting to cleanse the Chaos Dwarves.
Those Chaos Dwarves also inherited the Dwarves' usual stubbornness, so he and the Dwarf Pantheon used both soft and hard tactics and killed quite a few of them, thus freeing up a piece of territory.
The environment there is extremely harsh, with magma and volcanoes everywhere, as well as various heavy industrial pollution left over from the Chaos Dwarves. The Drow Elves may not be able to adapt to it.
As for Lustria, probably because the ancient saints did something about it, so there is almost no Underdark beneath Lustria.
The few dungeons that exist there now were basically excavated by the ratmen later.
If the drow elves go to Lustria, they will need to fight wits and courage with the remaining ratmen there if they want to settle down completely.
As for the attitudes of Master Ma and other magic toads, Levi can now represent them to a large extent, not because of anything else, but simply because Master Ma and other magic toads have tasted the sweetness of divine power and divinity.
Master Ma even sounded out Levi a few days ago, wanting to know whether Levi supported him in embarking on the path to becoming a god.
Levi expressed his support at the time and promised that once Master Ma or any other magic toad ascended to godhood, he would accept the other party into Heaven Mountain.
Although in theory the more gods there are, the more intense the competition will be, but the current number of gods in Lustria is far from crowded.
Besides, if Master Ma was trying to become a god himself, it wouldn't mean that Levi looked down on him. Even if he studied for hundreds of years, he might not achieve any results.
Since the existence of gods, 99% of those who have become gods have obtained the help of other gods, or simply inherited the duties and divinity of certain gods.
This is true whether it is Levi, Donna, Lucia, or those demon gods who have been collectively deified recently.
Originally Sigma was an exception. He once ascended to godhood as the emperor of men and was hailed as a legend among the gods. But now it seems that he may not really rely on his own strength.
Since he was originally a pure warrior, how could he know the secret of deification all of a sudden?
Nagash tinkered with it for so long, even killing tens of millions of mortals, but in the end he couldn't even get through the door, which shows how difficult it was.
Sigmar said that apart from the dwarven gods, his only ally was the Lord of Fire, Kashus, but Levi did not believe it completely.
All in all, Levi didn't think that Master Ma could become a god in a short period of time. By the time Master Ma studied for a few hundred more years and slowly embarked on the path to becoming a god, Levi would probably have already been promoted to a powerful god, and by then he would care even less.
So Master Ma returned the favor by completely handing over many aspects of Lustria to Levi's decision. There was no need to ask for Master Ma's opinion at all when introducing Eilistraee and the drow elves who worshipped good. It would be enough to just mention it briefly afterwards.
Anyway, Lizardmen and Drow live in different areas, so there won't be any competition between the two.
Of course, there was no need to tell Eilistraee all of this. Levi just roughly explained the dilemmas that would arise from the two choices, and then let Eilistraee make her own choice.
By the way, Eilistraee's kingdom is located in the Garden of Yoth. She is a neighbor of Tyr, the dwarven goddess of love Sharindlar, and the captain of the waves, Valkur, etc., so there is no need to worry about Rose coming to her door.
Iristria also knew that she was facing a very difficult choice, and both options had their own advantages and disadvantages.
Choosing the Dark Land, not to mention the harsh environment, you may also have to face attacks from demons and ogres later on. Chaos Dwarves summon demons there almost every day, and the plane barrier there must have many loopholes.
But if you choose Lustria, the future fate of her and her believers will largely depend on Levi.
Even if Levi was dissatisfied with her or had ill intentions towards her, she might face a greater threat than Rose.
There are many races in the Underdark, and she can use various techniques to make the many evil forces attack each other and benefit from it, and she can also benefit from friendly forces such as dwarves.
But once she goes to Lustria, all these external conditions will disappear. Apart from a few ratmen and demons, the majority of the inhabitants there are lizardmen. She will have to depend on Levi's mood for everything.
At this moment, Levi frowned again. Sigmar, Tyr and other gods of the human pantheon sent him the latest news.
The Horned Rat - Squark and the Lord of Beasts - Mala have joined forces. They have entangled the God of Werewolves and Sea Werewolves - Raguel and the God of Fox Girls - Isabara, and cooperated with many demon gods to launch an invasion on multiple human kingdoms.
Kurtulmak, the god of the kobolds , also united the gods of the goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears to participate in this great war.
At the same time, evil gods such as Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, Loviata, the goddess of abuse, and even Garagos the plunderer, who tend to be chaotic but not completely evil, also began to enter the scene.
Maybe they are not teaming up with Rose, they may just want to take advantage of the chaos to gain some benefits.
Because under normal circumstances, among the gods, the camp of kindness and neutrality almost crushes the evil camp as a whole, and the evil gods can only gain a certain advantage in small-scale local fights.
An opportunity like the one now where the evil forces are advancing in full force and holding back the gods of the good and neutral camps is rare in a thousand years. It would be strange if the many evil gods did not seize the opportunity.
So far, almost all the major races in the entire main world have been swept up in it, with only two being barely exceptions.
One is the high elves on the island of Ulthuan, and the other is the dark elves in the bitter cold land.
Levi was about to share this information with Lilith, but he saw that her face also changed slightly. They looked at each other, and they both knew that something must have happened again.
Finally, Levi spoke first, and then Lilith followed suit: "Kane just told me that the Witch Queen - Morathi officially announced the revival of the Cult of Pleasure, and a large number of Slaanesh demons appeared around her, including high-level beings such as the Keepers of Secrets."
"At the same time, the Mongols and others further north of the dark elves also began to move south."
Levi didn't find Morathi's affairs particularly strange. He had already seen signs of this when he went to Lustria before.
But he was a little surprised by the resistance of the Meng people.
The Dark Elves have always treated the Mongols as leeks, capturing a group of them as slaves or sacrificing them in large numbers to Cain whenever they have time.
At the beginning, the Mongols were certainly unwilling to accept the status quo and launched several rebellions.
But each time they were suppressed without any suspense, and what they got in return was usually larger-scale and more brutal massacres.
Later, the dark elves became smarter. They completely destroyed the Mongol records of writing, witchcraft, and even forging techniques, and regularly assassinated chiefs and wizards among the Mongol people who might have mastered these abilities.
This move, which was almost like cutting off the source of the fire, completely deprived the Mongols of their ability to resist.
Without decent martial arts and magic, or sophisticated armor and weapons, what could they use to fight against the Dark Elves who had everything and were good at everything? Not to mention the Dark Elves' many slave servants and the army of monsters.
"It's Khorne. The Blood Valkyrie, the Valkyrie, has appeared with a huge army. Among them are Khorne demons and a large number of mortals who have received Khorne's blessings. She calls them the Blood Army of Khorne."
Levi was also slightly surprised: "The only concubine of Khorne?"
Lilith nodded silently: "And she also spread the word that the Bloody Hand God - Kane and Khorne are two sides of the same coin, so many dark elves have been affected."
The Four Chaos Gods are also gods, and theoretically they also have the ability to elevate mortals to gods, but they basically have never done so.
Even Bilak, who was chosen by the four gods, was originally just a mortal. He only took this step after picking up the relics of the Naga Goddess.
The only exception was this Blood Valkyrie, Scarlet Angel, and Queen of Slaughter. Because of her warlike nature, she was not only promoted to demigod by Khorne, but also became his concubine. This was truly a rapid ascension to fame.
Now that the Blood Valkyrie has appeared, the day when Khorne will completely revive is probably not far away.
As for the similarities between Kane and Khorne, they are not particularly new. Many mortals and gods have had similar speculations.
But Levi and Lilith were both certain that they were not the same god.
But at the same time, they couldn't help but worry. If other gods might choose the Four Chaos Gods because of power, etc., then is it possible that Khaine, who also pursues power and blood, might also choose Khorne?
In Lilith's memory of the parallel world, Cain, like many elven gods, may not have been of much help, or even made things worse, but at least they all fought to the end.
But the world she knew has long since changed beyond all recognition, and she is not sure whether Kane will choose the same path.
The only thing to be thankful for is that, at least until now, Kane still regards the other party as an enemy. In the communication with Lilith just now, Kane hated Khorne very much.
He has now sent the high priestess of the Church of Khaine, the witch Hellebron known as the Bride of Khaine, to command the entire sect to fight against the Blood Army of Khorne led by the Blood Valkyrie.
In order to confront Khorne head-on, he even gave Hellebron a lot of power so that he could compete with the Blood Valkyrie.
"Is there anything we can do?"
Lilith shook her head and forced a smile: "I have made some preparations in advance. Now we need to fight our own war first, and then help other places."
Levi nodded vigorously: "I understand."
At the same time, he also felt a little sad in his heart that time was still not enough. If he was given some more time to create tens of millions of constructs and energy angels, so that other gods could also benefit from them, the situation would be different.
Or maybe the Four Chaos Gods also sensed similar signs, so they decided to take action in advance?
The other three evil gods are fine, all records show that Tzeentch is extremely intelligent and can even see through the past and the future to a certain extent.
It is possible that he told the other three evil gods about this possibility for some reason and organized this massive war behind the scenes.
Lilith wanted to say something, but suddenly, her expression changed again, and Yuegong's expression also became extremely ugly, because they all knew that a new enemy had appeared on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Avandor.
Marked King, who was exiled by Corellon himself for betraying Rose, and dozens of high-level demons who were once exiled by Asmodeus.
That would be fine. Although there are many of them, we can just send out a few weaker divine powers to deal with them. After all, all gods have more than one incarnation.
But the other heavyweight strongman was someone that many gods had not expected.
Yue Gong was incredulous: "Why would the Lord of the Earth, Gulamba, help Rose?"
That’s right, the one who took action this time was Grumba, one of the four elemental gods. He was a powerful being whose godhood was suspected to be as high as level 19. Even if Corellon in his prime faced him, he would probably lose more than he won.
Although only two combat incarnations of Gurumba appeared this time, the psychological pressure this brought to the elven gods was unimaginable.
Although the gods are all proficient in both magic and martial arts, they still have their biases.
Most of the elven gods tend to be mages or archers. Previously, Corellon was the strongest meat shield in the entire elven pantheon, followed by Cain. This is one of the reasons why Cain has such a high status.
Among the medium-level divine powers, the God of Forge - Val and the Dolphin Prince can be considered as two meat shields, but neither of them is particularly qualified. Val is weaker in terms of speed, and is simply more resistant to attacks. After all, he is essentially a blacksmith, not a warrior.
The Dolphin Prince is the type who has cultivated agility, intelligence, and physique. He has no obvious weaknesses, but he is not particularly good at taking a beating.
Among the weaker divine powers, there was only one Twilight Knight who could be considered a meat shield, but he had just been brutally killed by Rose.
The other elven gods are basically all fragile, which means that when fighting with enemies such as the greenskin gods who mainly engage in melee combat, once the greenskin gods activate their protective supernatural powers such as the descent from heaven, the elven gods are often unable to fight the opponent head-on.
To put it nicely, it's called flying a kite; to put it bluntly, it means being chased around.
Of course, because the number of elven gods is overwhelming, every time a war between gods breaks out, usually a green-skinned god will be besieged by multiple elven gods, and the above situation has basically never occurred.
But now it's different, with Lolth's drow pantheon, the greenskin gods, a few second-rate demon gods who have joined in the fun, a bunch of high-level devils, plus the incarnation of Grumbar, and the furious gods like Talos who are lurking in the dark, the situation is very bad for the elven pantheon.
Moreover, given Gulumba's character, if the war goes wrong, he is entirely possible to use his true body and the existence of the entire earth elemental plane to launch an attack on the elven pantheon.
In that case, even if the elven pantheon faced him alone, they would suffer heavy losses if they wanted to achieve the final victory, not to mention that they now had to deal with powerful enemies such as Rose and the greenskin gods at the same time.
Once the defenses of the elven gods collapse, these enemies will definitely swarm in, and even the many demon gods and other evil gods who are originally in other places may come over and try to take advantage of the situation.
Levi began to feel a little toothache: "Maybe it was Rusek's request and the oath he made to Rusek."
There have always been rumors that Grumba is having an affair with the greenskin goddess of life, Rusek. Now it seems that this is true.
Gulamba's duties include taking oaths, and he might be used by Rusay for this reason. After all, at certain special moments, men may indeed make oaths that they would not normally say.
Lilith was about to go crazy, but in the end she took a deep breath: "The four elemental gods have always had only each other as their enemies. Gulanba will not launch a full-scale attack. Yuegong, perhaps we should use our full strength!"
Before, in front of Mystra and other gods, they had shown some of their power, but that was not all.
But now it seems that they really can't hide any longer, because if the war becomes stalemate and breaks a certain critical point, perhaps more evil gods and demon gods will join in the siege of the elven pantheon, and that is not what she wants to see.
Yue Gong also nodded vigorously: "Okay, then let's really show the enemy how powerful we are!"
Hearing this, Iristri beside him also made up her mind: "Your Highness Levi, I hope to take my believers to Lustria!"
Although this path was difficult, she had no better choice. All she could do was to try her best to satisfy Levi and buy a chance to survive for the drow who worshipped goodness.
As she spoke, Iristri took out several points of light very proactively, which were her knowledge in the relevant field.
Seeing this, Lilith and Yue Gong beside them couldn't help but feel surprised, and even a little envious.
Kindness, elves, moon, charm, that's all, not particularly rare, the moon bow can also be used.
But the last portal is very unusual. Among the hundreds of gods of all races, Eilistraee and Sandakor, the god of travel and exploration of the human pantheon, are the only two owners of this area!
Although being given knowledge of the field does not mean that Levi can really master it, it at least represents a possibility.
Levi also felt the other party's sincerity. It was no exaggeration to say that, apart from Iristrae herself, this thing was the most valuable thing on her body. Its value was even higher than the many priesthoods she mastered, such as singing and dancing.
So he said very happily: "Okay, I will let the magic toads and the Lords of Heaven fully cooperate!"
