Crown of Chaos

In the year 1363 of the Valley Calendar, the High Sky, the Pole Star Camp, the place where the Pantheon of the Forgotten Realm is located.

The guardian god Heim - the eternal sleepless eye is sorting out the Pantheon. As the representative of the will of the god AO and the appointed arbiter, Heim is always vigilant and always lonely. Since being promoted by AO, he has been responsible for guarding the Pantheon. After that, Heim has always performed his duties in silence. He rarely speaks and rarely expresses his opinions. Once he encounters a problem, Heim will only make decisions according to the law, and justice is never among his considerations. Inside.

Alas, Heim was not like this before. Before He became like this, He once had a lover and had his own life. However, after the Dawn Tribulation, Heim faced all living beings with an eternally cold attitude. The only way he could let The only people Heim is slightly tolerant of are children, and the God of Guardians will only relax slightly when facing children.

Above the Sea of ​​Chaos, AO's Pole Star Camp is so majestic. In the middle of a chaotic sea of ​​energy, large buildings in the ancient Greek style stand tall on the chaos. Although it is just below the Pole Star Camp, the Chaos Sea can be reached at any time. Everywhere is constantly decaying, disappearing, reorganizing, forming, and disintegrating, but this scene better reflects the magnificence of the Pole Star Camp.

The slender stone road of light paved the way to the Pantheon. When going to the Pantheon, every god could not help but worry about what would happen if they fell into the Sea of ​​Chaos. They died in the true sense, but they had tasted the result of falling into the Sea of ​​Chaos once - a few years ago, it was because the Tablet of Destiny was stolen that the god AO dug out Tyr's eyes in anger and All the gods were defeated in the mortal world. At that time, no matter whether they were gods at the peak of their powerful divine power or some long-forgotten demigods, no god could escape the fate of leaving the kingdom of God and possessing mortals.

The sky at the Pole Star Camp is very strange. Directly above the Pantheon, the clear blue sky envelopes the temple, but the clear sky is dotted with dark stars. There are a large number of seats arranged in the broad temple. Every god can find his or her place here, and the only vacant seat is the one on the central rostrum of the circular temple.

The god AO almost never appears here, he is always absent, and the gods have become accustomed to his vacancy. Even every god is afraid that the god AO will really appear here, because every time AO appears, it means Something big is about to happen.

For gods, no matter what happens in the world, it is difficult for them to enjoy their divine status. Only major events may cause the gods to be in danger of falling.

After confirming that the processing here was completed, the God of Guard Heim took a cold look at the surrounding environment. When he was alone, Heim always thought in his own kingdom of God, thinking about laws, thinking about his responsibilities, and thinking about himself. In the future, Heim is tired of his responsibilities. He can only work hard to deal with the affairs between the gods. This is the responsibility assigned to him by AO.

It's time to start.

Helm opened the doors of the Pantheon.

The first god to arrive is Talos, the impetuous Lord of Storms. He looks like a tall, crazy old man with disheveled hair, and every movement carries gusts of thunder and wind.

The second person to arrive was the God of War Tempus. The War King was wearing heavy armor as always. He greeted Talos. The God King of Fury God System did not have much prejudice against Tempus.

The third person to arrive was the night lady Shar, who was huddled in the shadows. The ancient goddess wore a gauze skirt with stars and fallen plum blossoms and sparse shadows of autumn and bright moonlight. Under the long skirt was a pair of translucent black pearlescent ultra-thin stockings that outlined her beauty. Silk Foot saw that Talos and Tempus had arrived first. The beautiful ancient goddess showed a look of disdain on her face. She had no interest in communicating with these two idiots.

The famous fire-haired lady arrived fourth, when Suni, who had long fiery red curly hair, white teeth, and was wearing a gold-plated pearl half-sleeved summer sunny dress, with long wheat-colored legs exposed in the slit at the skirt, arrived. , immediately attracted the attention of Talos and Tempus.

"Oh, my fiery hair, your charm is like the ball lightning on the top of the storm clouds. I can't find any words to describe your beauty." Talos flashed in front of Suni with a quick step, and the Lord of Storms immediately summoned He made two spherical lightning bolts, woven them into a headdress flowing with electric light, carefully placed it on Suni's head, and started the courtship dance of the northern barbarians, dancing with joy.

"Giggles, Talos, you are always so enthusiastic." Suni giggled.

"My sword is your sword, and my ax will always fight for you, my lady!" War King Tempus couldn't wait to kneel on one knee in front of Suni, boldly expressing his love, He Present a blood-red flower made of all common weapons to Suni.

Suni instinctively stepped back. Lady Fire-hair didn't like fighting, but when she saw her retreating, the King of War immediately took another step forward forcefully, signaling that Fire-hair must accept his gift. Suni then accepted Tan with a weird look on her face. Paz is very aggressive gift.

Tyr, the God of Justice, who appeared after Suni, wanted to talk to Huofa, but when he saw the War King and the Lord of Storms surrounding Huofa, Tyr could only silently give his gift, the wooden horse carved by himself, to Huofa. Hidden in my arms, waiting for the next opportunity.

The god of dawn, Lathander, and the mother of the earth, Chantia, arrived at the same time. They were holding hands, but compared to the shorter and younger-looking Lathander, Chantia was the bigger one. They looked like lovers, rather they were like mother and son.

Ogma, the god of wisdom, followed, wearing a toga and long sleeves, and carrying a marimba on his back.

Silvanus, the father of the oak tree, appeared in the form of an old man. He looked sad and had no desire to talk. He just said hello to Chantia, the mother of the earth, and then found his seat and sat down.

Then came the pale-faced Prince of the Dark Sun, Cyric, who was thin and wearing a high-collared dress. As soon as he appeared, he stared at all the gods with an expression of disgust. He had no idea of ​​communicating with any god, but instinctively Earth wanted to sit in AO's seat, but Helm, the god of protection, used his body to tell Cyric that this was impossible.

The last person to arrive was the third-generation Magic Goddess Midnight. Judging from her appearance, Midnight is a very young and beautiful woman with supple and translucent skin and long black hair. Under the simple and elegant dark velvet robe of the Magic Goddess A pair of black boots were revealed, and the mesh waistband represented the power of the magic net.

Midnight was once a mortal. During the Catastrophe of the Saints, she once teamed up with Cyric to find the whereabouts of the Tablet of Destiny. But now you can see how strange the pair of partners have become. The moment the two powerful gods saw each other. Unable to hold back the look of hatred on their faces, Cyric immediately uttered the most vicious words, and Midnight made public the evil deeds Cyric had committed.

All this was seen by Shar, the lady of the night, who couldn't help but reveal a vicious smile.

Yes, hate it, yes, despise it, this will be the source of my strength.

"Order!" 11 powerful gods were noisy, and the guardian god Heim couldn't help standing on the stage and shouted: "Quiet!"

"What is the reason for convening the High Council of Gods? Heim." The magic goddess Midnight asked impatiently. As a new god, she has not yet fully integrated into her priesthood. He is very talented, he just needs to be enough. time.

"Of course it's because of the Chaos Crusade, idiot!" Talos, the God King of the Furious God System and the Lord of Storms, shouted at Midnight: "The foreign gods have extended their hands into the country!"

"Smelly bitch." Cyric cursed secretly: "You have no right to speak here!"

"What's going on?" Tyr, the God of Justice, said.

"Chaos Expedition!" Tempus repeated, chewing the words in his mouth. The War King's expression was full of excitement: "Expedition!"

Suni has no interest in the Chaos Expedition. At this time, Huofa is showing the gifts she received to Mother Earth.

"Orrrrrder!" Heim banged the hammer hard again, and the God of Guardians couldn't help but sigh again. Every time he chaired the Council of High Gods on behalf of his master God AO, he felt physically and mentally exhausted: "Knowledge God will tell us."

Ten pairs of eyes turned to Ogma. The powerful god of knowledge organized the language and told all the powerful gods about the matter.

Aaron Salian's Chaos Crusade.

The Messenger of the Outer God officially announced a brand new challenge this winter - the Chaos Crusade located in the Round Table Hall of Salian Castle is officially open. Anyone can enter the Round Table Hall to conduct the Chaos Crusade.

The essence of the Chaos Crusade is a journey of the soul. Regardless of their strength, every mortal will be unified as an adventurer who has just awakened their professional talents after they start the Chaos Crusade. They will begin a three-day test, with four people as one. A group of people adventure in the Chaos Demon Realm. They will quickly upgrade their professional levels during the adventure, and rely on the favors and promotions randomly obtained within a fixed period of time to face the final challenge.

If they can complete the challenge, mortals can choose a loot in this chaotic expedition to take back to the mortal world. It may be a professional level, a favor from the gods, a magic item, wealth, or something else.

In Chaos Expedition, four people can form a team together, or all random players can form a team. The difference is that fixed team formation will increase the difficulty, while random teaming will not only reduce the difficulty, but also increase the level of rewards.

As soon as Aaron's Chaos Expedition was announced, it detonated the central area of ​​the entire country. The Round Table Palace was overcrowded. After just a few rounds of the expedition, some people received powerful divine grace, broke through the shackles that had been restricted for a long time, or won unimaginable achievements. Magic items.

However, as the number of participants increased, the drawbacks of the Chaos Expedition gradually became apparent.

Any soul can only withstand the failure of two Chaos Crusades at most. Once someone falls in front of all kinds of strange enemies for the third time in the Chaos Crusade, and is lost in the complex and bizarre Chaos Demon Realm, then they will lose themselves forever. soul.

After several rounds of challenges, more than a dozen mortals have officially declared that they have lost their souls.

The problem lies here. These souls will not stay in the kingdom of heaven, but will leave the crystal wall system forever and become the playthings of the god of darkness.

This is a very bad signal and also bypasses the Taichu Contract.

What makes the gods even more vigilant is that through this method, the four powerful gods outside the crystal wall system may gradually enter the ranks of the gods of the country. According to the power displayed by Aaron, the four powerful gods have no A tough guy who isn't aggressive.

"This is absolutely not allowed!" Storm Lord Talos was the first to roar: "This is the most despicable trick and the most despicable method! Aaron Salian... We have all heard his name, he is He came with a mission, and he is stealing the delicious food on our plates. Astral magic is the same, and so is the Chaos Expedition. Do we want to watch the soul slip away under our eyes?"

"Yes, that's the problem." Ogma, the God of Knowledge, always remained calm. He ignored Talos' accustomed rage and said to the powerful gods present: "The outflow of souls is absolutely prohibited by His Majesty AO. , but His Majesty AO will not interfere with the soul's voluntary departure from the crystal wall system."

"If we accept the Chaos Crusade, it means that the four powerful gods behind Aaronsalion will one day have their own place in the pantheon."

"Talos proposes to convene this High Council of Gods. You will vote to decide whether to sanction Aaron Salian and his Chaos Crusade? Do we accept the possible joining of four powerful gods?"

"The trial begins now. Everyone, please cast your fair vote!"

Tyr, the God of Justice, took over the position of presiding judge at Heim's signal, and the eyeless one-armed man signaled that everyone could start voting.

"I vote in favor!" Talos was the first to shout: "I agree to banish Aaron Salian to see what his astral magic has done to the country? The abuse of Sallian's exchange will destroy us sooner or later. world!"

"I also vote in favor!" Lathander, the God of Dawn, suddenly spoke, with a hint of displeasure on his sunny and cheerful young face: "Look at him, the Chaos Crusade is open to everyone, isn't this encouraging the forces of darkness? Is it breeding? A villain is obviously better at fighting and Chaos Crusade than a good person. For the long-term stability of the country and for the good of the country, I think it is necessary to stop the Chaos Crusade and never allow evil to enter the country."

That's two votes in favor.

"Lathander, your duplicity does not surprise me." War King Tempus stepped forward. The powerful power of the neutral camp of Chaos did not hesitate to appreciate the Chaos expedition: "Fighting for power is never a shame. But it’s about glory. I think the Chaos Crusade is very good. If you choose to fight, you have to pay the price. I am against it. If they really come, I will fight head-on."

"If there is a battle that is necessary, it must be caused by love." The fire-haired lady Suni, as a good friend of the Silver Virgin Sullun, is also good-natured and funny, and she undoubtedly sides with Aaron: "I think some people feel that they are not strong enough!"

Sune's words embarrassed Talos. The Storm Lord hurriedly explained that he didn't mean it, but Firehair ignored him.

Two against two.

"Aaron Salian used the skill of knowledge asymmetry. Although he clearly informed that the soul cannot bear the consequences of the expedition multiple times, I still disapprove of this behavior." Ogma, the God of Knowledge, said lightly: "I agree."

"I'm worried that once this hole is opened, it will be like Asmodeus's hell in the future, causing us to lose more and more souls." As the god of the planet in the country, Chantia also expressed his opposition. Attitude: "I also agree, although this is a bit sorry for him."

Silvanus shook his antlered head, and the Oak Father said: "Life will always find its own way. Excessive interference will only destroy the balance. I am opposed to it."

"I object too." Tyr, the God of Justice, also spoke: "Aaron Salian has fully told the price of the Chaos Crusade. Justice requires a price, and any attempt to gain something for nothing should be punished, as Lathander said , Evildoers are better at Chaos Crusade than good people, but this also means greater risks, and every mortal’s right to choose should be respected.”

Four against four.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the goddess of magic Midnight, Cyric the Dark Sun and Lady Shar of the Night.

"I agree." Cyric's expression changed from sinister to surprised. He glanced at Talos. Because of the change in circumstances, Dark Sun had to vote in person. He originally thought that Aaron would be voted out without waiting for him. Out.

"I object!" Before Cyric finished speaking, Midnight said impatiently. The goddess of magic was so impulsive that she didn't even give a reason.

"Then it's five versus five," Tire said. "Only one of us is left without a vote."

Everyone turned their attention to Shar, the lady of the night, who never spoke.

It's over. All the powerful gods thought of this. Aaron Salian is the chosen one of the Silver Virgin Suellen, and Shar, the Lady of the Night, is Suellen's mortal enemy. He will not let anyone harm his sister even a little bit. Opportunities for strength.

In recent years, with the rise of Aaron, the Silver Virgin Church has become more and more influential, and its financial resources have become stronger and stronger. All the priests have received an additional spellcasting system for heavenly magic. There are rumors that Su Lun will soon Will join the High Council of Gods, be promoted to powerful divine power, and become one of them.

Everyone in the High Council of Gods is waiting for Shar's answer.

Ms. Night thought for a while, and then stood up from her seat with her graceful steps. A pair of beautiful black silk legs moved the long skirt in front of her in front of her.

"I……"
