Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 443: The Four Chaos Evil Gods
Early the next morning, Levi was rubbing his waist while listening to the latest intelligence gathered by Luna. In his heart, he was shouting that this was a bad decision.
In the beginning, he did have the upper hand. After all, compared to him, Donna was just a complete newbie with no experience at all.
Coupled with his energetic ability, he was very proud of himself for a time.
But Wange had no moral principles and used tricks and sneak attacks. Unsurprisingly, he was suppressed by the two sisters.
And he is now very sure that if it is a one-on-one fight, he may be able to defeat Donna.
But if it comes to a team battle, unless he becomes a legend or even a demigod, he will definitely lose every time.
There is no way, this is the sadness of the mage, even if he casts a bunch of auxiliary magic on himself, it is not as powerful as the elegy itself...
Signaling Luna to take a rest, Levi began to analyze the direction that Evil Dan might go based on the results of the reconnaissance.
According to his understanding, Evil Gall itself is huge in size. If he wants to escape, he'd better escape with other giants or trolls, which are also large in size and have extraordinary combat capabilities.
This would not only help him hide his body, but even if he was discovered, he would be able to launch a powerful counterattack.
But what Luna had detected so far were just ordinary greenskins and goblins, and no suitable targets.
This is a bit difficult. After all, this mountainous area is very vast, and like most places in the main world, it is sparsely populated, and it is difficult to find someone to inquire about information.
Even though they now have several thousand people, it would not be a big deal if they were really released to look for people aimlessly.
So Levi could only think while summoning more Inspectors, Rat Masters, etc. to ask them to join in the search.
Then he noticed a pair of eyes that seemed to have been watching him since the beginning.
When he turned around, he saw the little female dragon's eyes were sharp and she seemed to be thinking about something.
His first reaction was, could it be that she discovered what happened last night?
But that shouldn't be the case. He used the magic item with the tranquility barrier that Khalida gave him every time.
Everyone knows what happened between him and the elegy, but that is completely different from hearing it every night.
No matter how carefree Wangge's personality is usually, it is better to be low-key when it comes to things like this.
Little did she know that Catherine had only inquired about the elegy.
According to her understanding, Elegy and Levi have that kind of special relationship, so she got a lot of precious equipment. Now the worst item on her body is epic level, and she even has a legendary one.
So if she also has this kind of relationship with Levi, is it possible that Levi will completely hand over the golden bag to her?
Just then, Alyssa came to report to Levi that Khalida had sent someone to deliver a special message.
Her scouts encountered members of the Harper Alliance on the outskirts of a valley, and they seemed to be preparing for an action.
Levi immediately became alert, because it was well known that the Harper Alliance never fought unprepared battles and their intelligence system was very developed.
And they never fight small monsters, they only fight bosses.
More importantly, Nar and Lily, who are still in the Underdark, are both members of the Harpist Alliance. They have also obtained a lot of supplies and special equipment through this channel.
With the help of this relationship, he can also get in touch with the other party.
Thinking of this, Levi simply stopped looking for Evil Danger. Instead of looking for that greenskin who was hiding somewhere unknown, it would be better to focus on the target of the Harpist Alliance first.
After meeting, he found that Khalida also meant the same thing.
She had also heard of the Harpist's name, but had never dealt with him before. Now was a good opportunity.
But she was not like Levi, who was in a hurry to dispatch all the troops back.
Firstly, the valley was of limited area and could not accommodate all of her troops. According to the scouts, at most about 3,000 people could fit in.
Add to that the possible enemies inside, and the number of troops that can be used will be even smaller.
Secondly, compared to Levi's elite troops, her heroic subordinates were okay, but those tomb guards were really embarrassing for her.
Fortunately, when she supported the dwarves this time, she had made some preparations in advance. When she returned to Lahmia City, some of the elite troops she had left in the south should have been in place.
Before, they were always fighting against the Nebon pirates, murlocs and the like, but now it was time to fight in the real ocean.
Since they knew the exact location, they arrived at their destination quickly.
Before he could communicate with the Harpists who were waiting for their arrival, Levi discovered that the magical energy here was obviously a little strange, and the clouds in the sky were also glowing with a strange purple light.
But Luna and the others hadn't noticed it at all before. It was definitely not because she was lazy. It was just possible that there was some special existence in the valley that covered it all up with magic.
Now it may have been destroyed by the harpist, so it is truly revealed.
As expected, without Levi even asking any questions, a dozen or so joint teams from dwarves, humans, halflings and elves came forward very proactively and called out his name very respectfully.
It was obvious that they already knew about the relationship between Levi and the Harpist, so they did not hide it.
But after a brief exchange of pleasantries, what they said surprised Levi greatly.
"Lord Levi, although the evil spirits have fled, they seem to be preparing an evil sacrificial ritual in the valley, preparing to awaken some ancient and powerful evil beings that are sealed here."
"Because there are a large number of greenskin troops guarding the periphery, even though we rushed over as soon as we sensed the situation here, we still cannot break in easily. We hope to get your help."
It turns out that they have long known that there are some ancient evils in the valley, and they were previously responsible for guarding the place.
But, evil courage?
It’s not that Levi looks down on him, but he really can’t understand this stuff.
Even among the greenskin shamans, there are probably not many who really understand this stuff, because the greenskins don't like sacrifice, they prefer quick and clean killing.
Well, if the target is an elf, perhaps the strategy will be slightly different.
Because the main god of the greenskins, Gruumsh, had one eye blinded by the elven god-king, Corellon, and that was his original body, not his incarnation.
Therefore, he has always had a strong hatred for elves, and he will accept elves as sacrifices to a limited extent just to vent his anger.
But Evil-Dare had just been driven away by the dwarves, and he had no place nearby to catch elves. Moreover, according to intelligence, he was not a follower of Gruumsh.
If you must say, Evil Dagger may believe in both Brother Gomao and the greenskin god of strength and foolish bravery - Bagchu, and he is just a very basic and shallow believer.
So Levi's first reaction was that he must have been used.
"Besides Evil Gall, are there any other heroic beings?"
A leading human captain nodded and said, "Yes, our thieves have found that in addition to the evil gall, there are also many greenskins, goblins, human necromancers, and some Nibon pirates. They have more than 10 heroes ."
Levi raised his eyebrows. This was actually a joint action of heroes chosen by multiple races?
This place is hundreds of miles away from the sea, how come there are Nibon pirates coming here?
This may indicate that the other party's action was not a whim, but was a long-planned one.
He continued to confirm: "Is he a native or a hero chosen by God?"
“Both.”
Well, now Levi felt that things were clearer.
It is estimated that some gods’ chosen heroes colluded with each other and tricked Evil Gall into participating in the sacrificial ceremony here.
And perhaps the role played by the evil gall is a very important sacrifice, but in fact it is the lowest status sacrifice.
If his speculation is true, what kind of existence can be summoned by sacrificing the legend?
Is he a legend, or a more advanced demigod?
While Levi was communicating with the other party, his other subordinates were already preparing for battle.
Besides, they had already reached the entrance of the valley. The Harpers had tried to break in before, so the greenskins inside should have discovered them by now, and there was no need to hide.
Many priests and wizards began to cast various auxiliary magics. Khalida asked the guards of the gods she brought to lead the charge, while many priests summoned various monsters to serve as cannon fodder.
While Levi was making the summons, he continued to communicate with the Harpists, wanting to get more information.
Unfortunately, the Harpers didn't know much. They only knew that there were some demons imprisoned here that could easily seduce mortals and make them feel unimaginable pleasure.
And it is very likely related to the demon lord of the 570th layer of the Abyss - the Succubus Queen - Mecanthus.
Although her name is not directly mentioned in the records, this kind of demon can basically only be the famous succubus.
But Levi disagreed. The fighting power of succubi was notoriously weak among demons. They had never been professional warriors.
The layers of the Abyss are endless. Theoretically, any kind of demon could become the lord of one of the layers, but over the years, only one succubus queen has appeared.
Other succubi, regardless of gender , basically rely on powerful demons for their existence, and there are very few legendary ones at all.
If the seal here requires a legendary evil gall as a sacrifice, the chance that there is a succubus inside is extremely small.
At this moment, Sefa suddenly came over, rubbing his head and said, "Well, Levi, I think I seem to know something about this seal."
While speaking, she was also somewhat confused and doubtful, because some knowledge appeared in her mind out of nowhere without her being able to prepare.
This is too incredible and too dangerous for a mage.
If some beings can easily put information into your mind, then in theory, the other party can also easily disrupt your thoughts and even affect your soul.
But now she didn't notice anything unusual, as if that was her memory and had been hidden in a corner forever.
But she was 100% sure that she had never been here in the past nearly 20 years.
Li Wei's heart moved: "Oh, tell me about it."
He has always believed that Sefa is the reincarnation of the Jade Phoenix Mage, and the Jade Phoenix Mage is in a sense very similar to the Harpist, they are also responsible for guarding some evil bosses.
Likewise, mortals will often never know what they have done or their achievements, and even their existence is a mystery even to the gods.
If Sefa had been here before or had heard of this place when he was still the Jade Phoenix Mage, then perhaps the enemy they would be facing later would not be an ordinary character.
"As I recall, the other person is an expert at releasing pain, and also a queen who masters pleasure. Or should I say a prince? I'm not sure of his gender."
"There is another thing we have to be careful of. They are very fast, have extremely advanced fighting skills, and are extremely good at charm, regardless of whether they are men or women."
Sefa scratched his hair vigorously, as if racking his brains to recall: "Oh, yes, I remember their names, they are not ordinary succubi, they call themselves Slaanesh Demons!"
"A Slaanesh demon?"
Levi chewed on the word. Even though he had never heard of it before, he could roughly guess from the literal meaning that the other party should be a demon related to happiness, joy, pleasure or lust.
Once the indigenous people get involved with this kind of demon, it will be difficult for them to escape, and it will seriously affect their camp.
Basically, all beings who are seduced by succubus and have intimate relationships with them will fall into the evil camp, and after death they will not be able to ascend to the kingdom of gods, but will enter the bottomless abyss.
Correspondingly, if one is tempted by the devil, one will enter the Nine Hells of Baator.
This is a situation that even God cannot change, and even with powerful divine power, it is difficult to redeem it.
The gods are nearly omnipotent, but not almighty, and they also have their limits.
This is one of the reasons why the gods hate demons and devils so much, because in the past years, they have had many devout and promising believers who could never be saved just because they were careless for a moment and were tempted by demons or devils.
Even the celestial beings were unable to fully resist, and the most famous of the fallen was the King of Brands - Markkid.
It is said that he was once one of the three angels of the sky who served the elven god-king, Corellon. Later, because he was seduced by the Spider Queen, Rose, he became one of the Dukes of Hell in the Nine Hells of Baator.
A permanent bleeding mark was left on his face by Corellon.
But he offended the Lord of Hell, Asmodeus, and was exiled. Now he has fled to a small evil plane called the Nameless Pit and has become the lord of some Yugoloths.
As much as he cared for the elves when he was an angel, he now hates them as much, and he takes indiscriminate revenge on all elves regardless of subspecies.
Although there are very few demons and devils among the existing ones who can compare with the Spider Queen - Rose, but similarly, there are almost no mortals who can compare with the Angel of Dawn.
For most mortals, an ordinary succubus is enough.
However, relatively speaking, the frontal combat capability of this kind of demon should not be particularly strong.
Even the Succubus Queen was never known for her fighting ability among the many demon lords. She was more inclined to instruct other demons to take action in exchange for her beauty.
Anyway, for demons, selling one's body is never a shame, and they have no concept of chastity.
Even in many evil rituals of demons and devils, intense reproductive behavior is beneficial to the ritual.
Similarly, some gods of chaotic camps who love pleasure also strongly support this. The most obvious example is Bastet, the goddess of pleasure in the Egyptian pantheon.
But Khalida, who was also listening nearby, felt something was wrong: "Slaanesh demons? Weren't they already extinct?"
"Kalida, do you know?"
Khalida nodded: "It is said that a long time ago, there were four demon gods."
"They are the most primitive evil. They are born out of emotions. It is said that as long as there are still intelligent creatures in the world, and there are still various emotions and desires, they will never be completely exterminated."
"And one day, they will bring the entire world into the most primitive chaos. Therefore, they are also called the Four Evil Gods of Chaos."
“Khorne, a symbol of brutality and destruction;
Tzeentch, who symbolizes trickery and conspiracy;
Nurgle, the symbol of disease and decay;
Slaanesh, the symbol of lust and depravity."
"Every demon and worshiper under the command of a demon god has extremely distinct characteristics."
"Khorne demons are bloodthirsty warriors who despise magic and ranged attacks. They prefer close combat to kill people and offer their blood to their gods. Therefore, Khorne is called the Blood God."
"The Tzeentch demons are skilled in trickery and intrigue, but also in magic."
"Nurgle's demons are best at bringing plague, but they themselves live forever in decay."
"As for the Slaanesh demons, they are very different from the succubi we know. They do not pursue charm or control of the enemy, but all stimulation and pleasure."
"They can even use their special powers in combat. For example, before tearing the enemy's body apart, they will first make the enemy intoxicated, and then the enemy will gladly accept the fate of being torn apart by them."
"Under their power, pain is also an intense sensory stimulation, so enemies with weak minds often willingly accept death."
The more Levi listened, the more his brows frowned, and at the same time, many mysteries in his mind were solved.
If the four Chaos Evil Gods were born out of emotions and are so powerful, then has Lilith's preparations all along been made to deal with them?
The King of Gnolls - Yeenoghu, the King of Ghouls - Doreson, the King of Minotaur - Baphomet, etc., they have indeed been served like gods by their respective clans.
Other demon lords are also very powerful, but I don’t know if there is some kind of power in the world that binds them. In essence, they are still demon lords, not real gods.
The only exception may be the Spider Queen - Rose.
Rumor has it that after she betrayed the elven gods, she was once deprived of her divine power by Corellon and became a demon. In the end, she ascended to godhood again with her own strength.
But because this legend is too outrageous, many people or gods don't believe it at all.
But if these four are special demon gods, then they will undoubtedly be a huge threat to the gods.
For other demon lords, it is a threat, but also a possibility for advancement.
Khalida then changed the subject: "It's just that a long time ago, the four Chaos Gods suddenly disappeared without a trace, along with the demons under their command."
"Many ancient gods also disappeared. Many people and gods have speculated that perhaps a great war broke out between the two sides, which eventually brought us the peace we have today."
If this is the case, then Asuryan, Aisha and other ancient gods of the elves, as well as those ancient gods of the Egyptian pantheon...
Levi put aside this doubt for the time being and just frowned again.
"Disappeared? Last time in the Bone Temple, the Viper Queen summoned some Tzeentch demons. They should be the power given to her by Velsharoon. Have you forgotten?"
Khalida was also stunned: "Temple of Bones? How can I..."
But suddenly, she suddenly recalled that, indeed, Tzeentch demons had appeared that day, and the Viper Queen had backfired and killed many undeads by them.
But why did she have no memory of such an important thing?
No, wait, it's not that she forgot, but something exists that wants to make her forget.
Thinking back to the many people who were present at the time, the answer to who did it is obvious.
Goddess Lilith didn't seem to want her to get involved in this matter, or at least didn't want her to get involved now.
Unfortunately, she probably didn't expect that she would meet another follower of the Four Chaos Gods so soon, and break through the already very gentle memory blockade.
Since she is already one of our own, Lilith certainly won't use any harsh tactics on her.
Seeing Khalida's reaction, Levi quickly guessed what happened just a few days ago. No matter how bad Khalida's memory was, it couldn't be so bad. It could only be Lilith who did something.
When he asked before, Lilith didn't want to tell him for the time being. Maybe she was not unwilling, but just wanted to protect them.
The demon gods born from emotions, who knows how many unknown abilities they have?
For a moment, several people looked at each other in silence. If things were really as they guessed, then today's events would be extremely serious.
The harpists nearby were also extremely nervous.
They were originally just low- and middle-level members, and their daily tasks were to supervise and guard here, as well as deal with scattered greenskins and goblins and prevent them from breaking in at will.
But who could have thought that they would hear such shocking information? Given Khalida's status, there was no need for her to lie to them.
Compared to the Demon God, the powerful demon sealed here seems less important.
Seeing that the communication between Levi and Khalida had come to a temporary end, a human paladin boldly stepped forward.
"Lord Levi, our senior member in charge of this area will arrive soon with reinforcements, and you may be able to get more information from him then."
Levi nodded, and then he suddenly looked up at the sky above the valley.
There, the clouds were reflected in an ambiguous pink and purple color, surging violently like the tide, and it seemed that the other party had already started a ceremony.
"Kalida, we march immediately!"
While speaking, Levi's mood was somewhat complicated.
He knew that once the demon of Slaanesh, or even Slaanesh himself, was successfully unsealed, perhaps from then on, it would bring more disasters to the main world.
But he was also really curious about what kind of existence it was that Lilith feared so much.
