“Let’s chat another day. My wife has been arrested. Could you ask the Supreme Court what they plan to do if Sha Yuan appears in the capital?” Lu Cheng said.
"Supreme Inquisition, National Magic Association, how do you intend to face the Abyss of Fiend?"
"Time is of the essence. Please give me a reply within one hour. Thank you."
"Acheng, you..."
Dudu!
Su Meng looked somewhat uneasy. "Sha Yuan, what do you mean?"
“Literal meaning.” Lu Cheng waved his hand, and a small entrance to the Abyss of Evil appeared in the center of the living room.
"Now, before you stands the new ruler of the Eastern Undead Empire, the owner of the Abyss of Fiends, and the supreme commander of a million-strong army of the dead!"
He wasn't just sleeping these past few months. After devouring the Ancient King, he gained not only the Abyss of Fiends, but also the Ancient King's magic.
In addition to the fire, summoning, mind, space, and shadow elements he already possessed, he also gained earth, chaos, and undead elements from the Ancient King.
Although he only reached the high-level maxed-out state of the three new magic systems he acquired due to the excessive consumption during the burning process, all the knowledge of the ancient king's five forbidden magic systems remained in his mind.
Not only is the power clean, but the knowledge he acquires is also clean.
Unlike Zhan Kong, who was possessed by a remnant soul, he was the one who truly inherited the legacy of the ancient king.
The inheritance was agreed upon, but whether or not to take it, how much to take, and what to take are all up to him!
"..."
Looking at the small void in front of her, which contained the aura of forbidden spells of the chaotic and spatial elements, Su Meng's expression changed rapidly.
This is truly a cursed abyss!
"Empress Dowager, tell me, is it appropriate for me to drive the Sha Yuan to pick up my beloved concubine?" Lu Cheng asked.
"How about I form another million-strong army of the dead to clear the way?"
In the ancient capital, he did not kill, and even saved people, because he needed those living people to provide him with enough faith to alleviate his pain.
Therefore, no matter how much those idiots were disliked at the time, he wouldn't take action, since only living people could provide painkillers.
But now, he no longer needs painkillers.
As for the Saint Seiya, he didn't use the power of the demons, and he didn't even take action himself. It was just a million soldiers trying to win back their emperor's beloved concubine, which was none of the Saint Seiya's business!
Only magic can defeat magic. Similarly, in the eyes of the Saints, as long as "external forces" do not interfere with this world and do not disrupt its original internal balance, they don't care how this place develops into a mess.
To put it simply, this Saint Seiya doesn't protect humanity or justice; he only protects the rules, the rules of yin and yang balance.
As long as he doesn't take action himself, as long as the demons don't get involved, and he only uses the power within this world, the Saints won't pay him any attention!
What is the power within this world?
O souls of the dead!
The dead are native locals!
"Acheng, the capital is more powerful than you think." Su Meng hesitated for a moment, but still decided to stop Lü Cheng from acting recklessly.
"The power of the Abyss of Fiends is indeed great, but it is not unmanageable. If the Abyss of Fiends were controlled by the Ancient King, it could even reach the Holy City without any problem. But you are not the Ancient King. The Imperial Capital not only has a large number of Earth Cores, but also many Forbidden Spell Mages."
“If you cause trouble elsewhere, those forbidden spellcasters will definitely be too lazy to care, and even if the Magic Association orders them to do so, they might not take action. But if you open the Abyss of Evil in their faces, it's like forcing those forbidden spellcasters to fight to the death. You're not the Ancient King. If you really do that, it's no different from sending yourself to your death.”
“I know, but who said I was going to take over the capital?” Lü Cheng said.
"..."
……
A magical palace.
Upon receiving the news, Pang Lai contacted Shao Zheng again urgently.
“Sha…Yuan?” Shao Zheng’s eyes twitched slightly.
"Are you serious?"
“Although the possibility is small, it’s not impossible,” Pang Lai said.
"According to Han Ji's report, he entered the Abyss of Fiends, and he has been unconscious for several months. Perhaps, as the village chief of Weiju Village said, he really did inherit the legacy of the ancient king."
"Otherwise, even if that demon god repelled a million-strong army of the dead, it would be impossible to keep those undead as docile as they are now."
Shao Zheng's expression froze. "So, it's really possible that he'll open the Sha Yuan in the capital?"
Pang Lai paused for a moment, then said, "If he has the ability, he absolutely can do it!"
Through their interactions over this period, he had roughly discerned Lü Cheng's personality. He was very similar to Su Meng; neither a good person nor a bad person.
Or rather, they share a common characteristic: they don't care.
As a heretical sorcerer, Su Meng doesn't care about right or wrong, she only has the responsibility to carry out orders. In her eyes, there is no such thing as right or wrong. Her thoughts are just like those of the archangels.
The world is a giant organism, and the Holy City is the immune system, responsible for clearing away all uncertainties that may affect the current state of this giant organism, whether good or bad, it doesn't matter.
Lü Cheng was the same; he could indeed feel sympathy and pity, but that wouldn't affect his actions.
You're pitiful, fine, I pity you.
Then?
Then no!
He knew that opening the Sha Yuan to the capital would lead to widespread suffering and death. He knew it was wrong and immoral, and he would even mourn for it and feel saddened by the innocent deaths.
But that doesn't stop him from doing it!
These two people have two independent paths in their thoughts and actions!
"Dudu!"
"Speaker, an unusual spatial fluctuation has been detected above the capital..."
"..."
"Speaker, if I told you that a black dot has appeared in the capital region on the magic map, would you... believe me?"
"..." Shao Zheng.
“…” Pang Lai.
Upon receiving the news, Shao Zheng and Pang Lai rushed out of the house and looked up at the sky. When they saw a small black dot growing larger in the sky, their faces instantly fell.
The aura of forbidden spells of the chaotic and spatial elements, along with the chilling death energy of the undead!
This is truly a fiendish abyss!
Didn't they say there was still an hour left?!
It's only been a few minutes?!
……
Meanwhile, in Sha Yuan, a white tomb palace.
"Why is this Abyss of Fiends so difficult to control?"
Looking down at the capital city below the Abyss of Fiends, Lü Cheng felt a little embarrassed.
He originally planned to fly slowly towards the ancient capital in the Sha Yuan, which would take about an hour. However, how did this thing manage to jump directly to the capital after a few spatial leaps?
He wanted a sense of oppressive pressure from a slow approach, so what's the point of just charging in head-on like that?
“Your Majesty, the Abyss of Fiends is a forbidden-level creation. Your current state, being able to control its movement, is already quite remarkable,” said the commander of the Ghost Legion, the humanoid ghost, Nine Nether Queen.
Although they didn't know why the king in front of them was almost completely different from the ancient king in their memories, who cares?
This domineering aura of the dead is real, and its control over the Abyss of Fiends is real. Whether the ancient king chooses to pass the throne to Lü Cheng in front of him, or Lü Cheng seizes the throne from the ancient king, it doesn't matter. The struggle for the throne is inherently bloody.
Moreover, this new king is far more powerful than the old kings of the past!
Although it only had a faint aura of a monarch, it gave her an absolutely deadly sense of threat!
It's as if one slap could kill her!
"What are you doing out here?" Lu Cheng turned around.
"Didn't I tell you to stay put?"
He forcibly devoured everything of the ancient king, so he was unsure whether the Eight Desolate Kings would rebel. Although he had successfully taken control of the Abyss of Fiends and could even enter and exit it freely, he was not a dead man and did not understand the thoughts of the dead.
Although the eight undead lords treated him with respect, he could sense that they were still observing him, because they were unsure of his true situation.
"Please calm down, Your Majesty. I was just worried that you would need help and that there was no one to guide you, so I ran away," Jiuyou said nervously, crouching on the ground.
"What do the other undead lords mean now?" Lu Cheng asked.
"Your Majesty, everyone is absolutely loyal to you!" Queen Jiuyou assured her.
"Really?" Lu Cheng squatted down, reached out and pinched Jiu Youhou's chin, his eyes flashing with a cold red light as he stared directly into those eyes that possessed the ability to see through souls.
"You don't actually think that good-for-nothing can possess me, do you?"
"Your Majesty..." Queen Jiuyou closed her eyes, trembling.
dying!
Her soul was about to be ignited!
