Crown of Chaos

Aaron thought that such a big crime as releasing the Chaos Demon Dog should be enough to make the Pantheon face up to the threat of Cyric.

But no, the Pantheon only punished Cyric and stripped him of the [Killing] priesthood.

So why couldn't the Pantheon just kill Cyric?

There are two reasons.

First, Cyric is a powerful god, a member of the High Council of Gods, and the King of Three Crowns personally appointed by AO. During the Saint Catastrophe, the gods were frightened by AO.

In short, the gods do not want to be responsible, but Midnight really wants Cyric to die and is willing to be responsible for it, but this is a personal grudge.

Second, the responsibilities given to Cyric by AO include "killing", "dispute" and "spreading fear". As AO said, sin is innocent and innocence is sin. In the turbulent years, Thom in order to safeguard justice and glory Died together with Bane, AO felt that he was loyal to his duty and resurrected him specifically.

Since AO can resurrect Thom, of course AO can also resurrect Cyric.

However, the answer about AO that Su Lun Mama relayed is actually that the gods thought too much, and the gods were not interested in taking care of these things at all. It didn’t matter that Cyric had taken care of all the gods. The gods killed Cyri. Regardless, in AO's opinion, these are trivial matters, and there is no need to disturb him. He only cares about balance. When other gods die, new gods will naturally be born and take over the priesthood.

Aaron likes a saying: "Life will find a way."

What may really draw AO's attention is the entry of the Four Gods of Chaos. The four good brothers will directly break the balance of the country.

As for not giving themselves the Slaughter Crown, this undoubtedly shows the arrogance of the gods. Needless to say, they hope to control the [Killing] priesthood. Although the gods are fighting endlessly, they do not want it. Another god falls.

Except Cyric.

But Aaron soon discovered a blind spot.

Where is the scripture?

Where is the Book of Cyril that Cyric just finished? !

The war is still going on, and the Salian Shogunate army has entered Zhentil Keep.

Aaron called for Eleanor, Charlotte, and Nestia.

"Aaron, what should we do next?" Eleanor had experienced a whole day of war, and the current pastor lady was extremely murderous. However, after hearing Aaron's words "Destroy all Cyric priests and believers" Eleanor still hesitated to give the order. She could swing her war hammer at the orcs without hesitation and smash the enemy's head, but it was difficult for her to attack normal people.

"Now is not the time to be merciful." Aaron then said to Charlotte and Nestia: "Send an envoy immediately to search Zhentil Castle, especially the Cyric Church! Anyone who dares to stop him will be killed without mercy!"

"We are finally victorious!" the eldest lady Charlotte said with her hands behind her back: "The fight took too long and was so boring, brother~ When will we return to Sunset Collar?"

"When the war is over, the enfeoffment will be completed." Aaron forced a smile.

Charlotte, Amaunata, Lathander, Shar.

Look at Nestia again.

Eilistraee, Selune, Elven pantheon, Lolth.

There are still a lot of troubles, let’s deal with Cyric first.

"It's time for a ruthless map!" Nastia licked her lips bloodthirstyly: "If you don't shed enough blood, you will gain long-term peace and stability. The more you kill, the cleaner you kill, the longer the peace will last! "

As Aaron was explaining the matter one by one, he heard the sound of Maximian coming quickly. The sound of the cousin of the Sword Saint Sect walking was always very special.

"Your Highness the General." Maximian came over and asked: "Fouzor, Disma and others from the Dark Army said that you have a secret agreement between you, and now they should be allowed to receive the legacy of the God of Tyranny."

"Yes, we do have a similar agreement." Aaron nodded, and he said in Eleanor's surprised eyes: "Didn't I tell you? The Dark Army did not join the battle as agreed."

"I just want to report this." Maximian was a little anxious: "Fu Zuoer and others took hundreds of priests and rushed towards the city with Disma! They looked very anxious."

"Dark Throne?" Aaron couldn't help but laugh after thinking about it.

Got it, it’s Shamu.

Shamu is eager to become a god, and Ben's most noble god son wants to inherit his father's throne immediately.

Do you think that as long as you become a god, you can blatantly tear up the contract between us, dominate the Moon Sea, and enjoy the fruits of victory in this war?

"It's okay, let him go." Aaron motioned to Maximian not to care: "How could I be unprepared?"

"The focus now is to clean up the entire Zhentil Keep!"

…………

The Eastern Army was defeated, and Zhentil Castle opened its gates to the Western Army like a dying barrel of meat.

Since Mansu secretly moved the remaining Zhentarim soldiers to Raven Keep in advance, the city was almost undefended. The shogunate army broke through the city gates with only dozens of casualties. The biggest casualty among them was the late arrival. It was caused by the frost giants who did not have time to participate in the battle.

Aaron divided Zhentil Fort into several areas in advance. Among them, the most critical city lord's palace area, dock merchants' guild area and military camp area were directly occupied by the shogunate army. The slums were handed over to the church army. The remaining parts, Aaron Just ignore it.

He made a three-part agreement with the soldiers of the Western Army: those who kill will die, and those who injure others and steal will be punished. Yu Xi abolished all Cyric's laws.

He has already moved his attention to the warring Crow Fortress and the City of Strife ruled by Cyric.

Zhentil Castle, the darkest corner, far away from the city lord's palace, is where the scattered slums are.

This city is located loosely on the shores of the Moon Sea. It is a place dedicated to stealing and taking goods. The walls around the slums are not very high, and it seems that there is no one here to guard. But when Disma stood on the road leading to the dirty Under the arch of the alley, while waiting for Chamu's servant to allow him to enter, he could feel the invisible gaze on his back.

"What are we going to do?" Disma asked Fu Zuoer.

Fu Zuoer did not answer. He pursed his lips to signal Disma.

"You two, hurry up." Chamu, the son of Benn, crossed his arms on his chest and stared firmly ahead, looking beyond the burning city: "Father's throne, I am finally back!"

"Come on, Fu Zor, Disma, this is the last step." Chamu quickly intervened between the two of them and put his arms around them: "You will be honored to witness the moment when I ascend to the throne of God!"

He led them through the archway and into the secluded lanes of Zhentil Keep. The streets are very narrow, and the thick fog hanging over the city makes the gravel roads slippery; dark buildings are vaguely visible around them, the spiers almost touching each other, and the shattered sky occasionally reveals a little light, but it shows the eternal dusk. , stopping at the moment when the shadow lasts the longest.

The three of them followed a winding secret passage and entered a strange castle between cities.

Around them, discordant whispers arose one after another, a symphony of false contracts, disloyalty between kings and ministers, and shameless betrayal.

The sound of footsteps came from the dark corner, which was the accompaniment of thieves stalking each other in the dark. The other sounds occasionally mixed in were very short, it was the sharp sound of daggers clashing, or the wetness of a noose being strangled into someone's throat. Sticky bass.

The torches flickering on the walls on both sides of the secret passage gave off a sour smell of asphalt, mixed with the icy mist.

"What is this place?" Disma narrowed his eyes.

"The secret passage, the secret passage leading to Ben's supreme throne." Fu Zuoer said expressionlessly: "We will arrive under Ben's throne earlier than anyone else."

Shamu's footsteps couldn't stop accelerating, and the Son of Benn was a little emotional at one point: "Do you know? Disma? When I was born, it was already 1,000 years ago. My father created me and cared for me. Seeing me as his successor, he gave me power, gave me the blood of tyranny, and gave me command over one army after another.”

"...You are older than I thought, foster father." Disma said in a muffled voice.

"But at the same time, he was also wary of me. He was afraid that I might replace his power. He was afraid that I would win a higher prestige than him. He was surprised to see that my cruelty and talent were not inferior to his. He was afraid. ." Chamu raised his head very proudly: "He tried to deprive me of my power and control my prestige. When he needed me, he would temporarily hand over his servants to my control. When he didn't need me, he would temporarily hand over his servants to my control. At that time, the only thing I could do was waste time in the dungeon."

"...That's better than me." Disma said stubbornly.

"A person who is a son of man may be indifferent to the pain of losing his father, but it is absolutely impossible for him to be indifferent to the hatred of taking away his property." Chamu said: "It is really difficult to be a son of God. If you are too talented, I am afraid that he will be suspicious. If you are too useless, you are afraid of being abandoned. Do you always feel that your senior Leonard and junior Aaron Salian are too talented? Then I will tell you now, they are the sons of God, they are both He is the Son of God, so it is normal that you cannot compare to them.”

"Do you know why I took you in?" Shamu extended his hand to Disma: "I took you in just to prove that you can do the same. I took you in just to prove that you, Disma, are no worse than anyone else! "

"Be my true son, Disma. After I become a god, my army will be commanded by you, my people will be protected by you, and my power will be controlled by you. Fu Zuoer will become the Lord of the Moon Sea. And you, Disma, my Warmaster, you will let my Holy Emblem be inserted all over the world! Let’s see who will rule the country in the future!”

Faced with Shamu's sincerity, Disma said nothing, but his hand holding the dagger was trembling constantly, and he pursed his lips tightly.

Shamu knew that Disma agreed, and Son of God Bane said nothing more.

The three of them passed through countless dark tunnels, spiral steps, and narrow corridors.

Finally, the destination is reached.

Beneath Ben's throne, under the completely dark obsidian throne, more than three hundred Benn priests were already in place, and two pale balls of bone fire were ignited.

The ceremony of enthroning the gods has begun!

Shamu soared into the air in the eyes of Fu Zor and Disma. He jumped lightly and flew to the top of Bane's throne. He grasped the armrests of the two gargoyle sculptures with both hands and closed his eyes like a king overlooking the world. eyes.

Suddenly his pupils turned pitch black, and the pale flames around him surged in like a tide. He stretched out his hand toward the top of the throne, and the flames gathered in his palm, as if some powerful force was brewing. A symbol of class... The black gauntlet of the power of grace formed, and the black light on the entire Zhentil Keep shot straight into the sky. Black and white flames burst out from countless corners in the city. With the light of Bane's Supreme Throne, the sky seemed to turn into black and white.

At this moment, the entire country Tianyu felt it.

Countless legendary powerhouses looked up at the sky. The sunset in the sky had gradually turned black. They asked with confusion: "Sea of ​​the Moon? Who is it? Who plans to become a god?"

Benn's altars all over the country began to glow. The Holy Emblem that originally contained Benn's iron-glove fist gradually shattered and turned into a white-handed Holy Emblem with black eyes. Under Ben's throne in Zhentil Castle, more than 300 people The priests chanted in unison.

"My lord Ichiatu-Chamu!"

"You are the embodiment of tyranny, you are the master of disputes, you are the symbol of bureaucracy, you are the representative of fear and hatred, you are the most powerful son of tyranny, and the most orthodox heir to Bane!"

"My lord Ichiatu-Chamu!"

"You are the unending dominion, you are the anointing of the chains of hatred!"

"My lord Ichiatu-Chamu!"

"Your name will be sacred in the kingdom! You will be greater than the god of tyranny! Mortals will fear your authority and obey your orders! The strife and hatred among mortals will make you stronger, and your kingdom will protect us. My soul, starting from today, the whole world will tremble under your tyranny and dictatorship, and your dictatorship will last...eternity!"

Shamu closed his eyes and nodded with a smile. He could feel that Ben's remaining divine power was awakened, and the nation's faith in Ben was pouring into his body. His legs, where he sat, and his His whole body was wrapped in a black flame.

"My lord Chamu!"

"This great and sacred moment has arrived. You will exalt your kingdom. You will continue to rise and become stars in the sky!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Shamu continued to rise in the flames. He broke through the ground, broke through the buildings in the tower, and soared straight into the boundless deep space of the kingdom's sky!

seal up! god!

The gods of the Pantheon were still discussing the meaning of AO and the matter of Cyric. Ogma, the God of Knowledge who responded the fastest, immediately said: "My colleagues, interrupt."

"Someone's joining us."

It was as if, as Ogma said, a chair had been added to the Pantheon.

The lesser god of the Burning Hell, Ichiatu-Chamu, the god of tyranny and hatred!

…………

As he was escaping to the city of strife, Cyric of the Dark Sun, where Hades was located, suddenly vomited blood. He tore at his divine body crazily, not caring about the flow of his divine blood, rolling on the ground and struggling, trying to stop some Things happen.

But it was no use, he spit out a dark crown made of numerous bones from his mouth.

"No! Don't leave!" Cyric frantically tried to grab it with his hands, but found that the crown was getting further and further away from him: "No!!!!!!"

This is already the second crown that the Four-Crown King has lost!

The protagonist is already very close to becoming a god~
