"How do you know it was my people who interrupted the sacrifice? Were you present?"
Li Ang looked at the book 'Abyssal Gate' again.
"... I was in Abyssal Gate at the time, and I know it was Roland who interrupted the sacrifice - only people like him will not be affected by the abyss."
Media said very calmly, "Lord Li Ang, we three sisters lost our bodies more than 150 years ago. It was Goddess Eredar who resurrected our souls. We actually have no entity. I said, we are the gatekeepers of Abyssal Gate."
"It is your mission to guard Abyssal Gate? Then why do you come out and cheat?"
Li Ang generally understands that these three prophets are actually three old ghosts with strong spiritual power.
"It's all forced by the situation..."
Media sighed and raised his head, "Lord Li Ang, this world is actually different from what you see... You have heard us reciting the prayer of Goddess of Justice, right? In fact, that prayer is indeed used to resurrect Fallen One - the people in the Goddess of Justice temple have long been in collusion with the abyss demons. I think you can understand why...
Goddess of Justice is not necessarily just. Bacchus Empire is the base of Goddess of Justice, but there is never any justice in that place...
The farmers of Fieltzwe believe in Goddess of Prosperity, but can Fieltzwe, a place ruled by pirates and smugglers, really be called prosperous?
Lionheart Kingdom respects Goddess of Order, but the order of the Lionheart Kingdom... ha!
As for Bax, the land of the god of protection and harvest has never really had a good harvest...
Urvit, the god of bows and arrows believed by the Crow people, has actually never protected Raven Territory. Whether it is Jatu, Misty Mountain people or pirates, they can come and go freely in the Raven Kingdom...
As for Desha, God Vata has never appeared - in fact, Vata has almost never been truly believed in, and Dexian people doesn't understand what faith is at all. They just blindly worship the holy mountain according to tradition, and blindly send money and women to the temple on the mountain. They are just afraid that others will say that they are not pious enough...
More than 150 years ago, in Barkley, someone used Abyssal Gate to summon Aigrem. I'm not sure who summoned it, but I guarantee that it has something to do with Goddess of Justice!
Aigrem has no real entity and can change its body at will. As long as it is hidden in Fallen One, no one can kill it before Fallen One is killed.
At that time, Goddess of Justice Astaria had the most believers and knights, and the dark Goddess Eredar had the ability to seal souls. If they teamed up, Aigrem would be easily sent back to the abyss.
But Astaria, that duplicitous thing, actually retreated from the battlefield for his own selfish desires, leaving only Goddess Eredar to fight alone...
Goddess Eredar faced the demon army alone and exhausted her mana in order to seal Abyssal Gate again. Then, she was attacked by Astaria.
And Dawn Knight Order claimed to have defeated the devil at that time...
Only then did Goddess Eredar know that Abyssal Gate was opened by Astaria in the name of 'Dark Goddess believer', instructing those 'summoners'! The purpose was to deplete Goddess Eredar's strength and make Goddess of Justice the only faith in the entire continent by 'defeating the devil'!
Goddess of Justice? Bah... She just wants the whole world to surrender to her, she doesn't care about people's life or death at all!
Taking advantage of Goddess Eredar's depletion of divine power, Astaria sneak-attacked her, but even so, the result was still a lose-lose situation.
Goddess Eredar was exiled outside the territory, and Astaria was also sealed by Goddess Eredar and left the earth.
From then on, Astaria gave his followers Oracle, asking them to destroy the followers of Dark Goddess. If no one on the earth believes in Goddess Eredar anymore, the seal will be lifted, and Astaria can return to the earth.
But Goddess Eredar did not issue such an edict... She just asked us to guard Abyssal Gate and prevent the abyss demon from appearing on the earth again!
But we are not willing to give in... We want Goddess Eredar back!
And the other gods... those so-called vampire-like gods took advantage of Goddess Eredar's trouble to prevent her from returning!
Therefore, it took us three sisters a hundred years to learn the soul spells of the Abyss Demon, and finally controlled the three priestesses of the Temple of Justice, and used our identities as priestesses to tell these things to some Dawn Knights.
But at that time, no one believed us, and instead believed that we had been corrupted by heretics. We had no choice but to take away Abyssal Gate and flee to the Pande Continent. At that time, Roland even led people to hunt us down.
However, gradually, someone in Dawn Knight Order finally believed everything we said at the beginning, and then Dusk Knight Order was formed and Dawn Knight Order split.
Lord Li Ang, whether you believe it or not, what I said is true. Do you think... the so-called justice or darkness... who is more like Goddess, who represents justice?"
Media said all this with a sneer.
I believe it, but I think no one is very righteous... Li Ang thought.
The prayer of Goddess of Justice is a spell to summon demons. This may be true - by actively creating Fallen One, there will be more terrifying skinless zombies in the world, so that the Temple of Justice can appear extremely important.
But... Dark Goddess Eredar is not a good bird either.
Since Erebus is the watcher of the abyss, even if Astaria used a dirty trick, she should have discovered it when Aigrem just came out of the abyss... Why did Aigrem's Fallen One army dominate Barkley for several years?
At the beginning, Erebus probably had the idea of conserving his strength and sitting back and watching, right?
And Astaria ran away before the battle, forcing Erebus to fight alone, which naturally had no good intentions.
But Li Ang can imagine that the abyss demon must hate the gatekeeper even more, so Erebus probably did not voluntarily try his best to seal the demon alone--it is probably that Aigrem wanted to kill her, but she just didn't have time to run away...
It seems that all the gods in this world are not good things. No wonder Pan De late king Kavala built Magic Suppression Tower in the first place. He probably couldn't stand those gods either...
"God... what the hell is that?"
Looking at the prophetess opposite, Li Ang suddenly asked a very philosophical question.
And Media's answer does have some philosophical meaning, "Gods are actually some spell casters who can draw power from faith. They are not as great as they claim to be...King of Pendor Kavala back then was able to make all the gods helpless against him..."
Media said, suddenly narrowing his eyes. "Lord Li Ang, you are very similar to His Majesty Kavala... He also has the blood of Noldo Elves!"
This answer made Li Ang enlightened.
So that's it...
The disaster of the Pande Continent has been doomed since the Kavala era!
This is a bloodline hated by the gods...
After late king Kavala unified Pande Continent, he established Goddess of Order Eunomia as the main god of Pan De. This means that except Eunomia, all gods will resent him...
The conflict between gods competing for belief is probably no different from the competition between humans for territory and population.
The battle between the two Goddesss of justice and darkness told by Media more than 150 years ago is probably ultimately about fighting for the territory and believers after the destruction of Kingdom of Pendor...
Now, the various gods have redistributed their spheres of influence. The last thing they want to see is someone like Kavala unifying Pendor again!
But Madigan's Prophecy is too famous, which is destined to have a succession of careerists who want to become Child of Prophecy, King of Pendor...
Therefore, various gods will definitely continue to cause trouble.
These are indeed a group of false gods... essentially just some selfish spellcasters.
My body is the bloodline of the Pendor Royal Family, and I have shown respect for Eunomia, so Eunomia will indeed take care of me, because when I become stronger, Eunomia will gain a larger territory and more believers...
And Goddess of Justice Astaria's basic base is Barkley. She has no foundation in the Pande Continent, so she will show favor to herself and let Sir Roland meet her...
But other gods will definitely spare no effort to suppress themselves!
Li Ang can even think of why he traveled through time?
Because the 'Leon Griffin' whom Eunomia regarded as hope was beaten to death by Crimson Brotherhood's people with a stick! Kingdom of Pendor's last bloodline is dead! The hope of reunifying the continent is shattered!
So she wants to find a soul from another world to resurrect this hope...Eunomia wants to unify the continent, she wants to restore its past glory, and she wants to get the most believers...
There is no difference between these so-called gods and people vying for power.
Now demons like Aigrem are rampant in Pendor, and various gangsters are causing chaos everywhere, including the invasion of Snake Worship Cult. It seems that every god is responsible.
Lords who enjoy people's offerings but are unwilling to do things for them are basically the same as those lords who enjoy taxes but don't care whether the people live or die.
"In this case, I really don't mind discussing this deal with you... It is your mission to deal with the abyss demons. You help me deal with Aigrem, and I will reunite Anna and Cersi with you."
Li Ang is not sure whether what Media said is true or not, but dealing with Aigrem is the most important thing right now. As long as Aigrem can be dealt with, he doesn't mind cooperating with anyone - no matter what, he can't become Fallen One.
"No problem... But you have to swear to put back Anna and Cersi - swear with your soul. I know Roland is here too, don't let him deal with me... Likewise, I swear with my soul that our three sisters will never be enemies with Lord Li Ang again."
Media nodded.
"Okay, I swear on my soul, if the three prophets can make Aigrem roll back into the abyss and not become my enemy, I will definitely reunite you sisters."
Li Ang swore happily.
"Now, can you put Elano back first?"
Li Ang pointed at Media, which is Elano's body.
Media nodded, and then her forehead gradually wrinkled, and the pain on her face was no longer bearable. "...Lord Li Ang, quickly find a body and come over. This girl's soul has been suppressed by me, but she has been resisting..."
Li Ang didn't expect that Media would agree to quit Elano's body so readily, but this is a good thing.
However, there are no corpses in the camp now, so we can't just kill one right now, right?
Oh, by the way, what she wants is a body, not necessarily a corpse...
Li Ang lifted the table and opened the door. "Risadiran, bring Oswood over here!"
Media opened Heretic Codex in his arms and carefully placed it on the ground.
The two metal pages once again showed the appearance of Abyssal Gate, and then a wisp of black mist leached out from between her eyebrows and flew into the swirling pattern on the convex surface.
Elano sat on the chair and lowered his head, his hands and feet began to twitch, looking like he was having a nightmare.
Li Ang suddenly realized that Media had probably lost most of his mana. She stopped doing anything after throwing it out of the table, probably because it was already difficult for her to fight to suppress Elano!
That's why she sat on the chair. This was actually because she couldn't do anything.
No wonder they are so cooperative in the conversation...
It seems that the female apprentice Roland has a very strong will.
The bloody Oswood was quickly taken into the barracks, and Elano was also carried out.
Li Ang stood a little further away, watching the black mist fly out of the code and fly into the center of Oswood's eyebrows.
And then, Oswood - that is, Media started roaring, "Li Ang! Are you going to give me such a broken body?!"
Well, it's indeed a bit broken.
Li Ang spread his hands. "I can't give you my subordinates, can I? Anyway, you can use magic to change the skin... This is the most suitable body for you, at least it can be regarded as waste utilization."
"But this evil spirit is still alive! And a madman at that!"
Media is still furious.
"Don't you know how to use soul magic? You can deal with him however you want, as brutally as you want, but you're welcome to this guy! Come on!"
Li Ang is cheering on the side.
"Humph..."
Media makes no more noise.
After a long time, a ray of gray mist flew out from Oswood's eyebrows and penetrated into Abyssal Gate.
At this time, Media spoke feebly, "Where did you get such an evil soul? I banished him to the abyss... His soul will be tortured endlessly in the blood prison..."
"Oh? That's great! This is exactly the result I want... I was wondering if killing him would be too cheap for him..."
Li Ang said with a smile, "Can you banish Aigrem in the same way?"
"Unless you torture Aigrem into this horrible state first..."
Media waved his only bloody arm. "I don't care what kind of tattered body you gave me, but you must remember the oath you swore with your soul, otherwise, your soul will also enter Blood Prison Abyss! This is the origin of those evil spirits in the abyss!"
In other words, the evil spirits in the abyss are all old scoundrels who violated their soul oaths?
Li Ang believes this is true, but he really has no intention of breaking his oath. The word reunion... can mean gathering alive or dead.
Even if they are Spirit Body and not easy to die, they can all rush to Abyssal Gate - that is their hometown.
"So... how to send Aigrem back to the abyss? What abilities does it have?"
Li Ang took Heretic Codex in his hand and closed the two pages of 'Abyssal Gate'.
