Volume 4 Chapter 632: Fall and Return
On the other side, almost all the gods participating in the battle were looking at the fifth layer of hell with surprise as it was shaking continuously and emitting a series of explosions.
They never imagined that things would go so smoothly.
Levi claimed that he had found a traitor, and they originally guessed it was Secora, because Set had too much hatred with Levi in the past. Not to mention that he had robbed Osiris of his identity and power, the Egyptian pantheon was almost hollowed out by Levi.
But although the great shark looks ferocious and barbaric, he is actually a greedy and brainless fence-sitter.
As long as Levi can pay enough, let alone become a traitor, it is entirely possible for him to break away from Talos and follow Levi to Mount Paradise.
Unexpectedly, it was Set who won in the end. This made all the gods look up to Set. He was so flexible and maybe he would have a chance to rise again in the future.
Even Levi himself was extremely surprised that Seth could achieve such a level. This result was far beyond his expectations.
Now the entire hell has been cut in half, and most of its defense system has collapsed. Before it is repaired, our side can basically launch a new raid at any time.
So when he saw Set, who was the first to drive the kingdom of God to flee, Levi also symbolically mobilized a certain amount of power to help Set.
Of course, I also took the opportunity to get the bottom of things.
In the end, Levi could roughly determine that Set should be heading to the Gehenna, where the camp attributes were between neutral evil and lawful evil, which was more suitable for Set.
In this way, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation between the two sides in the future, because many evil gods, such as the Horned Rat - Squark, the Green-skinned Night King - Shags, the Kobold Demigod - the God of Traps - Gaknura, and the Goddess of Abuse - Lovita, are also entrenched in the Scorching Hell.
Once Set has established a firm foothold there, he will definitely not mind selling out these evil gods as long as the price is right.
At the same time, Levi's original body in Mount Paradise also began to communicate with Nephthys. Since Set had achieved such results, there was no need to continue detaining Nephthys.
The Crimson Knight looked at Levi with shining eyes. The strategy Levi implemented this time was not complicated strictly speaking, but it was unexpectedly effective.
The most special thing is that Levi, who belongs to the lawful good camp, actually joins forces with Set, who belongs to the lawful evil camp. This is very interesting to her.
But soon the gods had no time to think more, because the most important thing right now was to further expand the results of the battle!
Soon, except for some gods such as Bahamut who stayed in other battlefields to act as bait to restrain the devil, whether it was the Cathay Pantheon or Sigmar and the dwarf gods, they all gathered on the fifth floor.
Then even greater scale destruction occurred, but the gods also discovered that compared with the multiple layers of the bottomless abyss they had destroyed before, the fifth layer of hell was not only larger in area, but also obviously much more solid.
Even though it has suffered such severe damage, it is still part of the Nine Hells. Even if all the gods work together, it will be difficult to completely destroy it in a short period of time.
Especially when Sekola ran back in a hurry and the demon armies from other levels arrived one after another, the efficiency of the gods became lower.
Because the terrain of the fifth layer of hell is mainly oceans covered by endless glaciers, it is perfect for Sekola to perform.
However, Elegy was very excited, not only because it was her first time to participate in a war of this level, but also because she could also benefit from this environment, so she bravely challenged the Great Shark.
Even though as a newly promoted Ice Valkyrie, there was still some gap between her and the Great Shark, but with the help of Donna, Isis and others, she still fought very happily and successfully killed an incarnation of Secora.
At this time, Sekola was also unwilling to do it. His other incarnations returned directly to his own kingdom of God and also began to prepare to move the kingdom of God. He felt that he had done enough for hell, and even the Lord of Hell could not say anything.
Upon seeing this, the gods gave chase for a while, and after making sure that the other party had really escaped, they sensed the breath of the furious gods led by Talos, and then they gave up.
The kingdom of Sekola is also filled with endless oceans, which is still a bit difficult to deal with. Right now the gods' goal is hell, so there is no need to waste time and energy on the great shark.
Therefore, after losing the protection of the two evil gods one after another, the devils on the fifth floor were in big trouble. Almost any shock wave of divine power would result in the death of thousands or even tens of thousands of devils.
Once Levi, Anubis, Lucia and others use their extraordinary powers of death, they can often directly wipe out the lives of all demons within hundreds of square kilometers.
Even if all the gods are incarnations this time, it is enough to deal with ordinary demons.
This made the other gods couldn't help but sigh that the gods of death were really suitable for dealing with such large numbers of enemies with weak average strength.
Despite this, the devil army remained unshaken. They lined up in neat formations and charged towards the gods one after another, fully demonstrating the devil's greatest characteristic - obedience!
Courage alone is not enough to win this war. By the time Tiamat, Kurtulmak, the Scarlet Queen and others sent their avatars to the vicinity, the demon army on the fifth floor had suffered countless casualties.
These incarnations of evil gods did not dare to engage in a head-on battle with the coalition forces, and could only stay at the entrances of the fourth and sixth floors, as if they were planning to defend there to the death, or simply to delay time.
The area of the fifth layer is over 100 million square kilometers, and the number of demons is even greater. Even if they are left there to be slaughtered by the gods, they cannot be killed easily.
In fact, the gods also gradually realized this problem. They couldn't help but look at Levi, asking whether they should continue to launch a strong attack?
Even though the fifth layer of hell has suffered severe damage, it can still bring extremely strong suppression and influence to the gods, and their power will be reduced if they use more of it.
But because of the severe damage it suffered, Hell's reinforcement of the fifth layer has begun to decline. Although it is not very obvious, it still cannot be hidden from the gods.
In this case, perhaps after some time, the fifth level of hell will be completely destroyed by the gods like the other bottomless abysses.
That’s perfect. We can withdraw our troops early and come back next time when we are fully prepared.
Anyway, the fifth level of hell has become what it is now. The gods can come and go almost freely, and we are in control of the initiative.
Moreover, so many demons were killed this time. As long as the gods are given some time, they can at least create tens of millions of constructs. As far as the results of the battle are concerned, they are already very satisfied.
However, the gods did not speak immediately, not because they were embarrassed, but because they had vaguely guessed that Levi was probably waiting for an excuse or reason.
For example, the actions of Asmodeus, the Lord of Hell.
If the other party dares to show up, the gods will repel it and then withdraw, and it will be a good story if it gets out.
Only a few gods who had close relations with Levi and the Zhendan Dragon Gods knew that they were indeed waiting for the Lord of Hell to take action, but the battlefield was not here!
In this way, tens of millions of demons were killed one after another, and the power of the gods was further reduced. Some of the weaker gods have already stopped.
But the Lord of Hell still did not show up.
Just when Youshen couldn't help but want to ask Levi, Levi suddenly laughed: "The plan has been successful!"
Just when most gods were still confused, a shocking explosion suddenly occurred in the ninth layer of hell. Countless light and moonlight power burst out from the ninth layer, instantly destroying more than one tenth of the ninth layer.
Then, all the demons in the Nine Layers of Hell felt an uncontrollable panic and grief in their hearts, and then hell shook violently again. Countless black winds began to dance wildly in the Nine Layers of Hell, and the sound they made was faintly similar to wailing or roaring.
In an instant, regardless of their strength and wisdom, the same thought emerged in the minds of all the demons.
The strongest devil in history, the first devil god, the lord of hell - Asmodeus, has fallen completely!
It seems that the ones who took action are the gods of light and those who control the power of the moon, but they are unable to confirm who it is for the time being.
Even if Levi has great divine power and Yue Gong has medium divine power, they can't succeed so easily, right?
Bayer was particularly unbelievable, because he had just discussed defense strategies with the Lord of Hell, so how could he suddenly die?
At the same time, intelligence from many other aspects also showed that Levi and his allies should not have time to split themselves for the time being. How did the other party do it?
Unless, this attack on the Nine Hells was itself a huge conspiracy, and the Lord of Hell also concealed some information, and he stepped directly into the opponent's trap!
While Bayer was still standing there in shock, many evil gods living in hell had already fled.
All along, they have only given face to the Lord of Hell. Now that hell has become like this and the Lord of Hell has died in the battle, it is time for them to prepare to retreat.
Among them, the more greedy evil dragon queen, Tiamat, and the chief god of the ogre, Kurtulmak, thought more.
Although the various resources in hell are countless times scarcer than those in the main world, they have been accumulated for countless years and there are still some good things.
Hell is in chaos now, maybe they can take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters? Anyway, these devils have no time to deal with them, let alone stop them!
This incident was also very unbelievable for the gods present.
But no matter what, today is indeed an unprecedented victory for the camps of justice and law.
Therefore, many gods such as Clemvor, who had a good relationship with Levi but did not participate in this battle, sent messages out of curiosity at the same time. While sharing the joy, they also tried to find out the truth.
Because anyone who is not a fool can know that this is not a simple coincidence, and Levi must be involved.
The dwarf god king, Moradin, couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Your Highness Levi, how did you do it?"
Levi chuckled and didn't answer. He just glanced at Sigma, then nodded to the Zhendan Dragon Gods and said, "I think it's time."
Biaolong-Miaoying and other dragon gods nodded, and the next moment, Guanglong-Shenzhu's crisp and lively voice echoed among the worlds, declaring responsibility for the death of the Lord of Hell, and also announcing her true return.
So within just a few words, at least more than 100,000 mortals in the Zhendan Dynasty became believers of Shenzhu.
Outside of Zhendan, many beings also began to gradually know the name of Shenzhu.
In fact, at the beginning, Levi planned to be with Shenzhu, but later, Yuehou, who loved her daughter dearly, took the initiative to offer to help Shenzhu complete this plan and ensure the complete demise of the Lord of Hell.
So after a little consideration, Levi gave this opportunity to Shen Zhu. Anyway, he had done many great things recently and his reputation was already very high. He did not lack this opportunity. This could be regarded as a gesture of goodwill to the Zhendan pantheon.
Levi, Shenzhu, Moon Queen, Sigma, Lilith, Moon Bow, and the gods on Mount Heaven. With such a luxurious lineup, there is really no suspense in killing the Lord of Hell who fell into the trap.
Even though he had become a true God, the result remained unchanged. The gods directly followed the portal he opened and completely destroyed his kingdom, his original body and all his incarnations.
But what made Levi a little confused and even alert was that the Lord of Hell's divinity level was actually 4.
In such a short period of time, relying on his own strength, it is definitely not enough to condense the fragments of the godhead. The goblin gods and others that he had hunted before were far from enough to provide him with so many fragments of the godhead.
The only possibility is that the Lord of Hell received funding from other beings.
Is he an evil god, or is he the shadow king Bilak who has obtained the relics of the Naga goddess and possesses considerable strength but always hides in the dark? We must be more careful in the future.
Unfortunately, the lookout who acted as a guide was killed instantly by the Moon Queen in revenge, otherwise he might have been able to obtain some intelligence.
With Shenzhu's declaration, Levi no longer needed to explain. At the same time, all the gods also completely realized one thing: the cooperation between Levi and the Zhendan pantheon was deeper than they had imagined.
Although Corellon died in battle, the elven pantheon has not only become more powerful now, but also has many equally powerful allies, making it even more difficult to deal with.
After Shenzhu spoke, Biaolong-Miaoying signaled to Li Wei and began to retreat collectively with the Zhendan gods according to the original plan.
Now that Shenzhu's resurgence has been exposed, they can proceed to the next step: rescue the blood dragon - White Feather, and dismantle Khorne's plan!
The remaining gods looked at Levi, but this time they were not planning to retreat, but hoped that Levi would give the order to attack.
In fact, Levi also had this intention. He said directly: "I will go to the ninth floor myself and completely destroy the devil's lair. If your highnesses intend to act alone, I suggest choosing the eighth floor as the target."
After the gods thought about it for a while, they roughly understood that the eighth floor was currently under the charge of Gargauth.
But there is an extremely strong hatred between him and the Lord of Hell. When the other party is alive, based on common interests, as well as the other party's power deterrence and certain promises, Gargauth might still help do some things.
But now that the Lord of Hell has died in battle, I'm afraid the first one to escape, or even take advantage of the situation, will be him, Gargus!
Then Levi changed the subject: "However, since there are still idiots who continue to stay here, then don't leave!"
Levi immediately shouted loudly and launched a fierce attack on the entrance to the fourth floor.
There, a huge, bloated, tentacle-less, almost featureless thing, like a mass of rotten meat, still wandered there. It was the god of the bottom demon fish - the Bloody Queen.
The Aboleth is an evil race that lives in the Underdark. They are generally six meters long and weigh more than 6,000 kilograms. They are somewhat similar to an octopus with four tentacles.
What is particularly special is that they are not fools who rely solely on brute force, but a highly intelligent race with psychic powers. They are best at enslaving other races, which makes them one of the dominant races in the Underdark.
It is precisely because of their high intelligence that even though the population is not particularly large, the Bloody Queen, as the racial god, still gains a lot of power.
The power of faith provided by believers, in addition to piety and number, wisdom is also a very important component .
Therefore, although gods such as kobolds and goblins have a large number of believers, they are not very strong.
Although Bahamut has few followers, he is still very powerful.
But the Bloody Queen should never do anything stupid at this time. Levi just used it as a small sacrifice!
At the same time, multiple portals had opened behind Levi, and the elven gods, led by Kane and Lilith, responded to his actions together.
Kane, in particular, laughed wildly: "Since you don't want to escape, then leave this incarnation behind to witness the true rise of the new Elf God King!"
After a series of recent communications and transactions, he has completely recognized Levi because he is better than Corellon in many aspects.
In addition to respect for himself, there is another thing that Kane particularly likes, and that is bellicosity.
Once the sword is unsheathed, it must be shed blood before it returns. This is a proverb passed down by the elves since the time of Asuryan, but Corellon had given up on it for too long, and it was Levi who picked it up again.
So Kane didn't want to find out how much benefit Levi could get behind the scenes, but as long as there was a fight, he would be happy.
As for Asmodeus, it was a bet he made with Levi. If Levi could really kill him, then from now on, he, Kane, would be willing to become a sharp blade in Levi's hands.
Not fighting for good, not fighting for evil, only fighting for the elves, only fighting for Levi, only fighting for the sake of fighting!
The other elven gods were not at all surprised by this.
At the beginning, perhaps there were a few gods who were a little ambitious, such as the Storm God - Matheran, and they were eager to try and make an effort.
But after seeing Levi's series of tricks, they gave up completely because they had no chance of success at all.
Now that Kane has spoken again in such a public occasion, perhaps all Levi needs to become the true God King of the Elves is a symbolic succession ceremony.
The other gods also had different expressions, but they were all gods who had good intentions towards Levi and were able to participate in the attack today. For them, it would be more beneficial for Levi to become the King of Gods, so they also sent a wave of extraordinary divine power.
So when the light faded, the two incarnations of the Blood Queen were unsurprisingly blown into several points of light.
In addition to the fragments of the godhead, there are two fragments of the priesthood: rule and oppression.
The former is relatively neutral, while the latter is somewhat evil, but it is just right for Cain because the dark elves are experts in oppressing slaves. They do not have any occupations such as farmers or workers because all those jobs are done by slaves.
So Levi just threw it to the other party. At the same time, he was a little worried in his heart that he was trading so frequently with evil gods like Set and Kane. Maybe after a long time, it might affect his own camp?
I am willing to fight for goodness and justice, but I will never do it at all costs like Tyr and others.
However, it doesn’t matter. Even if one day, I am no longer the God of Light or the Lord of Mount Heaven, as long as I hold the priesthood of death, I will always be the powerful Elf King!
