Chapter 559 [Thunder Pool]

So Styx's conversation was unexpected, but if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

After all, the world does not revolve around one person. As one of the only three gods in the vast underworld who holds partial power over the underworld, the River of Oath will naturally desire greater power.

It is not surprising why Styx happened to find the incarnation of the giant snake, because it was actually the only communicator the other party could find.

Matters like this that involve the transfer of powerful divine power certainly cannot be handed over to a being that is not even a true god.

With Hell's current power, it might be enough to supply a few great lords, but it does not have the extra power to create new god-level devils.

Therefore, under the premise that the limited power is everyone's job, either presiding over the affairs in the human world, or commanding the army in the [Ashura Field], or still trapped in the land of eternal night, the eight-armed snake demon separated from the big snake is actually the only quasi-god from hell that Styx has seen in recent years.

So Styx naturally chose this devil disguised as a demon without hesitation, although she herself did not know that this was actually the incarnation of the great power of hell.

"…To show my sincerity, before you meet the Lord of Hell, I will tell you one more thing about the underworld."

"In recent years, the origin of the underworld has been in turmoil. The origin of this interface that is independent of the material world has been greatly strengthened, and the authority over the underworld that I control has also become much stronger."

With a calm expression, Styx calmly described the changes in the underworld. However, the snake showed little interest in this.

On the one hand, this is because it currently has little interest in the underworld, and on the other hand, it is also because of the unique situation in the underworld.

This interface sandwiched between the four primordial gods is different from the starry sky and the sea. The semi-independent time and space also enables it to derive independent interface power.

However, the mixture of such great powers also means that the underworld does not have a real entity, making it impossible for it to condense its own complete symbol.

If the Hades in the original mythology could still struggle and imagine, trying to involve the fields of "afterlife" and "soul destination", and further perfect this concept by building purgatory to punish evildoers and "Elysian Pastoral" to reward good people, becoming an important part of Chaos' inner cycle, now it has even lost this ability.

The underworld is only a transit point for souls, not their final destination. The three great judges of the underworld who reward the good and punish the evil have now ascended to heaven and become heroic spirits, instead of struggling to survive in the underworld.

The undead is certainly one way, but unless Hades can find another way for the birth of the undead other than the underworld, his efforts will be meaningless. This is why no one has ever competed with him for the rule of the undead.

In this case, the hopeless Hades was not worth being taken seriously by the Great Snake.

In the face of absolute power, all tricks are meaningless.

"I know, it's not just the underworld, the abyss is the same."

"The power of the world is rising, and so every part of Him rises with it—so that's what you're trying to tell me?"

"Of course not." Seeing the big snake's disapproval, Styx slowly shook his head: "The origin of the underworld is indeed rising with the strengthening of the world, but in addition to this, there are other forces flowing into the roots of the underworld... But this is also not what I want to say."

"What I really want to tell you is that these 'other' forces that flowed into the underworld did not really stay in the root of the underworld, but were transferred to other places by Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, who was canonized by Olympus."

"Although I don't know what he wants to do, as a neighbor of the Abyss, I think you should be interested in his movements."

"Transferred?"

"Then how did you know?"

Da She's heart was slightly moved, as he didn't expect to receive such news.

But Lyanna never seemed to mention this matter in the spirit world. How could Styx be able to do something that Styx could not even notice?

"How I knew that is none of your business."

"As for the specific situation, if the subsequent cooperation is really achieved, it will not be too late to talk about it later."

With a cold refusal, Styx, stepping on the river, had no intention of explaining.

Indeed, she shouldn't have known about this, and Hades had done it relatively covertly.

However, as the original Styx in the underworld, Styx had some sensitivity to the other Styxes, even the half of the River of Oblivion that flowed through the underworld. It was because of this that she discovered some clues.

However, there was no need to tell the person in front of him about this kind of thing. After all, their cooperation was still only on paper, and Styx's so-called reminder only showed some value.

"Well, in that case, then it's as you wish."

Nodding slightly, Da She understood the other party's intention and stopped asking further questions.

Sooner or later, she will find out when she becomes a new member of hell.

In general, it is still inclined to accept Styx's proposal, but it has other ideas on the specific implementation.

For example, the combination of such forces can involve more participants and thus complete the missing piece of the puzzle.

In addition, Hades has little relationship with it at present... So instead of paying attention to Pluto's little actions, the snake would rather find the incarnation of Zeus who broke into the abyss.

······

After temporarily parting with Styx, the big snake asked her to wait at the gate of the [Ten Thousand Abyss Plains] first, while it itself had other things to do.

Continuing to go deeper into the core of Tartarus, Orochi had to admit that without any guidance, finding someone who was intentionally hiding his whereabouts was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

Unless one holds extremely high authority in the abyss, no one can find a specific existence from the chaotic time and space... Fortunately, the big snake came prepared, and the dark elf found on the surface of the abyss made a great contribution.

Zeus and the Dragon Queen used it as bait to attract the attention of the demon, so the first thing to do was to leave her something that contained enough of their own aura and power.

After all, considering the wisdom of the Abyss Demons today, it is already very good for the smart ones among them to be able to distinguish between the bait and the real body. As for using this as a medium to search for traces, it is purely thinking too much.

In addition, the two had already regarded these elves as dead, so they naturally would not be on guard. Therefore, although they could not accurately locate Zeus, the snake still roughly figured out his route.

Going all the way down, comparing it with the known levels of the abyss, a very obvious route became clearer and clearer in my mind.

However, as the road seemed to have an end in sight, the snake's expression became a little strange.

If he was not mistaken, if he continued along this path, he would most likely pass through an interface called [862-11-Thunder Pool].

Number 862 proves that this layer of interface has approached the bottom of the current abyss in terms of time and space.

Although the space and time of Tartarus is said to be endless, the space and time where real interfaces exist is definitely not as infinite as imagined.

At least for now, the name of the 'Bottomless Abyss' is still unworthy of its reality. Although its 'bottom' is so deep that ordinary people can hardly imagine it, it definitely exists objectively.

Therefore, as it is close to the core of the abyss, the abyss after eight or nine hundred layers is mostly inhabited by some ancient demons. For example, the Shadow Demon Lord, who was severely damaged in the war of invading hell but did not die completely, seems to be licking his wounds in a certain layer, and the ancient Demon Mother also lives in the nearby space and time.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with the [Thunder Pool]. The above two are not in this level of the abyss, and they don’t like the environment rich in thunder.

Even the Abyss Lord who dominates the [Thunder Pool] is not some ancient demon god, but a being who has gradually become famous in recent years.

No one knows what kind of demon it is. People who know about its existence tend to think that it may be a new demon born from the gathering of chaotic source power.

It is powerful and greedy, but also possesses shrewdness and cunning that many other abyss demons do not have.

So much so that in just a few thousand years it became famous in the lower levels of the abyss, and even the giant snake had heard of its name.

Hmm...it was the big snake that Asmodeus had talked about not long ago, the arrogant guy who claimed to have the blood of the "king", the title of "Demon Prince", and said that he was destined to defeat hell and unify the abyss.

Although its big words were not taken seriously by the two Lords of Hell, its existence did enter their sight.

"Zeus... [Thunder Pool]... [Demon Prince]..."

"Is there any connection between them, or is this just a coincidence?"

There was a hint of amusement in his expression, and as Tartarus's power grew, the serpent's understanding of the depths of the abyss became less and less.

Therefore, without having seen it with his own eyes, he was not sure about the details of this [Demon Prince]. But if Zeus came to the abyss just for it, then it would be interesting.

"I can't say for sure."

"I'm more inclined to believe that Zeus came for Moya. After all, they are already connected by fate..."

"Plus, the number 'six' in Chaos has indeed become a symbol of 'evil' and 'depravity' with the birth of the first generation of the Abyss Demon God and Asmodeus, who actually controls the six layers of hell. Zeus's behavior of coming to the abyss may itself be a necessity and attraction..."

"hiss……"

"do not care."

"It doesn't matter whether you are here for them or not. For the sake of your life, I will lend you a helping hand..."

The snake's tongue flickered slightly, and it couldn't help but speed up a little.

Not only for his own bad taste, in fact, as the embodiment of the evil side of the spirit, if he could make the present God King and the power of the abyss interact in some sense, then Tartarus's confused consciousness might even temporarily forget its identity as the Lord of Hell and take the initiative to give it some source power that it cannot digest.

After all, it is true that the abyss and hell are enemies, but if one can gain something from the real world, it will mean much more to the abyss than one can imagine.

With Tartarus' current domain, excluding the accumulation of horizontal "quantity", even the slightest qualitative change in the vertical direction is already extremely difficult.

So even if it is driven by instinct, it should not mind "fighting within the walls while defending against external insults"...

“Although this sentence is a bit far-fetched, let’s leave it like this.”

"Zeus... I'm coming to see you."

Just because the main body is not interested in doing something doesn't mean that Orochi is not interested in it either.

The mood is high. This is the first time we have done something so beneficial and fun since its inception.

······

hum...

The void is rumbling and time and space are distorted.

Stepping into the interface portal again, Zeus traveled through chaotic time and space.

One step forward is the end of the map given by the Dragon Mother.

According to her, the core of the abyss is further ahead, and she is unable to obtain the time and space coordinates of that place from the lord's mark.

Unless she can occupy more than one layer of the abyss and become a great lord who can rival the powerful divine power just by relying on the power of the interface, or go there herself and try to find a way to go deeper.

Zeus didn't actually care about this at first, because he didn't want to continue exploring in Tartarus at that time.

He didn't know whether the mysterious attraction was good or bad, but what he had obtained was always real benefit.

So Zeus immediately chose to go home - although his idea was good, the actual practice was completely different.

Following the road he came from, he went to the entrance of the abyss. This road had been verified to have no Abyss Lords lingering there. The first part of the return journey was indeed smooth, until Zeus ran into the corpse of an acquaintance in the 254th layer of the abyss.

Both an acquaintance and an 'acquaintance'.

The roasted corpse of the dark elf gave off a meaty aroma, while the aura of the Fire Demon Overlord lingered in this interface.

Obviously, the Dragon Mother and Zeus have not given up looking for their whereabouts because of the trouble they caused before, and the manic Fire Demon Lord is not someone who will give up so easily.

First, his food was snatched away by the tiger, and then he was fooled around by the bait. It was obvious that this hot-tempered demon was on the verge of exploding.

So after recalling the [Burning Explosion] of the Fire Demon that he had witnessed once in the [Ten Thousand Abyss Plains] when he just arrived in the abyss, Zeus chose to give up the original path from the bottom of his heart.

It is hard to say whether the Fire Demon Lord can defeat this incarnation, but he certainly cannot withstand this kind of fight to the death.

"...Fortunately, according to the information provided by the dragon, I still have a way to return to the first ten layers of the abyss as quickly as possible."

"At the end of the roadmap she created, in the interface called [Thunder Pool], there is a passage that leads directly to the surface of the abyss."

"Because the demon lord who dominates this world is very interested in conquering other demons and even attacking their enemies, it deliberately opened up a connection to the surface of the abyss in some way to quickly travel back and forth."

“If I can borrow a passage there, I can return to the underworld as quickly as possible and merge with my original self…”

After many twists and turns, he returned to the starting point, and Zeus still had to go to the [Thunder Pool].

Feeling the attraction getting closer and closer, when he reached that layer of the abyss, it seemed that he was not far from the source of attraction... However, the God King still decided to stick to his original intention and leave as soon as he arrived at the place.

We'll talk about it next time when we have a chance. Now I have some experience. Next time, even if there is no cover of the lord's mark, the worst that can happen is that I can borrow Hades' invisibility helmet to try.
