Four-Armed Divine Emperor

She focused her communication on the half-beast, half-plant creature on the other side.

[Asuma, I didn't expect to see you alive after all this time]

Despite being terrified of Ai'er, who had clearly shown his desire for the Queen, Asuma, the King of the Wild Hunt, still stood up, placed one hand on his chest, and saluted the goddess in amber. A look of joy crossed his face as he said, "I have longed for this moment countless times. 'Eternal Brilliance,' Your Majesty."

The title he read out earlier was the official title given by the elves to the strongest among them, namely the "Glorious Queen". Reciting this name is a kind of respect. In the past, Asma, who was second to the queen but "equal" in essence, did not need to do this, but as he said, he had waited for this moment for a long time.

[Have you been here all this time? ]

The queen asked him a question, which was also something Al was very concerned about. He patted his trouser legs, stood up straight, and pricked up his ears to listen.

Asuma gave him a fearful look. Ai'er spread his hands, motioning for him to answer. So the King of the Wild Hunt had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer in the face of the moody Great Demon King: "Yes, it's just that it started when our group failed. This is not only my idea, but also Xirig's suggestion. We all share a common concern: some arrogant and greedy among our brothers will covet your power and destroy our hard-earned balance and stability."

"So you turned into a tree and planted it here to guard it?" El, who was listening, asked curiously, and Asuma nodded.

"Our past failures were caused by arrogance and greed, but I don't think they have changed now..."

His tone was full of emotion. If the civil war had not caused such a turbulent situation, the mortals would not have risen up and completely overturned the order of the gods. He would still be one of the thirty-six rulers in charge of the prosperous country of Neil, with millions of mortal servants under his command.

【Thoughtful】

The Queen comforted him.

El thought for a moment and said, "You and that Xirig... you're really meddling in things."

After saying that, he grinned and gave Asuma a smile that he thought was extremely terrifying.

Chapter 136: God of Law

This wasn't a question, so Asuma didn't know whether or how to answer it.

The King of the Wild Hunt chose silence. This was his only way to deal with the situation.

Seeing this, Al snorted, feeling bored. He looked at Asuma, then turned to look at the goddess in amber, and suggested maliciously:

"How about we try letting me read it directly from your head? Don't worry, I won't let you die, and this will save you the trouble. How about it?"

Asuma's face, which resembled a deer but was half human, suddenly showed an unconcealable bitterness. He knelt on one knee and confessed his loyalty to El:

"I will tell you everything I know, Your Majesty."

"Tsk."

Al continued to ask questions. In fact, he hadn't tried such an "inefficient" way of communication for a long time, if the empathy for his own adventures in another world was not counted.

A work report at a normal speaking speed would take half an hour, and with questions and answers it might take even longer, but with the Four-Armed Man's psychic network, most information transmission only takes an instant. For example, one doesn't even need to meet in person to report work, and the work can be completed in a few breaths from a distant place.

With El's power, he can instantly obtain news about what happened in Amen-Ra and far away in Canaan. However, due to his laziness, El would not handle these things directly by himself. The psychic network is centered around him, and the Heart Fortress is a super-large psychic amplifier. He simply used himself as a "server" and built a relay station for collecting, storing and forwarding. Most of the important messages that need to be reported and processed do not need to be handled by El personally after they arrive here, but are directly forwarded to the relevant knowledge along the existing path. They will negotiate and deal with them, and the results will then return to the center and be amplified by El's psychic power and sent to the corresponding work node.

To Asuma, his power was not strong, even less than that of Shilin Yege, Ai Er guessed

Chapter 492

This is because the other party is not the complete "original body" now, but should be some kind of clone or something like that, but it is also very important. At least Asuma himself definitely does not want to experience the situation where the "Asuma" in front of El is killed by him.

He only needs to restrain the other party and make some contact with him, then he can quickly search the other party's memory and information, just like digging deep into the ground and taking it away, and then process it to discover the key points.

But Ai'er did not want to use force at this time. He could indeed forcibly read the other party's memory, but this would inevitably cause a backlash. The [Glorious Queen] who should have been dead, and the [King of the Wild Hunt] who was suspected to be the ultimate bootlicker and secretly admired him, were also involved in a mysterious and sinister [Lord of True Knowledge]. There were three Witch Kings coming up. Although Ai'er was not afraid, he was now in the realm of clones. If things went wrong, there would be the risk of the clones dying, and secondly, he would directly face the group of Witch Kings. If the other party realized his threat, they might really join forces with the White Tower. As long as Ai'er, the "outsider demon", was exaggerated and performed powerful and evil enough, it was not impossible for the White Tower to cooperate with the Old Ones.

Although Al was in a state of ecstasy, disorder, madness, debauchery and neglect of state affairs... all of this was based on his confidence in his absolute advantage in controlling the situation. Al would not make things worse unless it was absolutely necessary.

So he gave Asuma a long "answer" task, allowing him to learn some past events and secrets that he had not yet known from this being who was at least a "true god" in ancient times.

During the process, the Radiant Queen also joined the conversation several times and asked Asma a few questions. Like El, she learned from Asma some things that had happened over the past thousands of years that she did not know.

Al has the ability to detect lies, and he is a little weird in every aspect. The queen seems to be a little afraid of him and has never communicated with him from beginning to end. Al doesn't care much about this, after all, the highlights are left to the end.

......

Through Asma's narration, or more accurately, his "confession", Al roughly understood many things in the past. As for the details, he would have to wait until he returned to Amen-Ra.

The first point is the issue of the "Witch King" that Ai'er has always been concerned about.

They, “They”, are indeed the “gods” that are native to the world of Il in the true sense.

Moreover, he is a "God of Law" at a higher level than the indigenous gods that Al observed in the Spartan world, at least in terms of power.

In the Spartan world, at least in Al's observation, those Greek gods, apart from being able to display some extraordinary powers in the fields corresponding to their own priesthood, are often not much stronger than outstanding mortals. This is also true even in the fields corresponding to their own priesthood. For example, Poseidon, the god of the sea, can swing his trident to stir up huge waves and even flood a city, but he cannot always use "big moves" of this scale, and once the divine power "cools down" or in the process of fighting, he will use flesh-to-flesh combat as his way of fighting.

As for Ares, the god of war, it seems that whenever mortals fight, his strength increases, and the more fiercely they fight, the stronger he becomes, but unfortunately he is not that strong.

The "Witch Kings" of the world of Il, from the moment they became "gods", have possessed powerful forces that can "destroy the world" within a local area.

Just as the Queen could survive under the siege of many enemies of the same level, even those who were hostile to her did not dare to "kill" her, for they were afraid that this would cause the resurrection of other parts of the Brilliant Queen's world and break free from their constraints. Therefore, they were unwilling to kill her, but only made her "sleep", falling into a state of self-sealing and protection... because she had killed one of her competitors, severely injured another, and almost completely mastered the field of "life".

All the "Witch Kings" who have ever appeared, more or less, represent a certain rule or domain in the world of Eir, and these domains do not belong to a single person. For example, the King of Ashes is undoubtedly the embodiment of "fire", the Queen is life, and Asma's existence is more special. He is a rare hybrid god of "innate" and "acquired". He occupies a part of the realm of "Nature", but it is not much, at least not enough to make him actively provoke and kill his competitors. At the same time, he also represents a part of the world that has appeared since the birth of intelligent life:

Chapter 106: This is Sparta (V) (24)

The act of hunting for resources.

Therefore, he is a relatively weak "Witch King". Because the elves are a very ancient race and have developed a relatively advanced civilization and had a great influence at the time, Asma is very inclined to them and often acts as the protector of the elves. Later, he was accepted and worshipped by the elves, and also submitted to the queen's authority, thus becoming an ally of the elves.

137: Mysteries of the Old Days

His strength is not strong because he has not mastered "nature" or "hunting" very well.

The former is because there are many gods involved in these fields, which is equivalent to Asma having only a few percent of the shares of this company and not much say, while "hunting" is more of an artificially added belief. This behavior has no meaning to the world, but intelligent life believes it is very important and sacred, so over time, it seems that such a category has been added to Neil's rules.

The Witch King is a very special being.

They are essentially people who have mastered certain "laws" and "fields" and have become

Chapter 493

Their personalities and incarnations possess powerful magic, but magic is only a manifestation of their strength. Magic is like muscles and body. Anyone can theoretically possess and utilize it, and those who can utilize it can gradually become stronger.

However, those who hold "authority" not only have mortal bodies, but also possess "power", a weapon of different systems in the same world. Therefore, they have formed a dimensionality reduction attack on all living beings in the world and quickly ascended to the altar.

Asma was "adapted" to this power by chance. He was an innate "god" and mastered supernatural powers shortly after birth. He possessed powerful magic. At the same time, he himself found it inexplicable that he suddenly found that he had some powers related to "hunting" and "beasts". For example, his arrows were very accurate and would hit the prey as long as he shot them. He could see at a glance where all the living "prey" were hiding in the forest. This seemed to be because he was born into a forest orc tribe. After discovering the power in his body, he did not follow the other gods who were born into a more civilized society. Asuma was soon promoted to a king and a mortal god in the eyes of mortals. However, due to the remoteness of the place and the backwardness of civilization, Asuma lived with the tribe for a long time as a "chieftain with divine power (demigod, true god)". He did not realize how strong his power was and used it in his daily life. The tribe adhered to a relatively simple egalitarianism. Even the chief had to set an example and participate in production work. In other words, people worshipped him not only because he had great power, but also because Asuma used this power to make their lives better.

All this continued until he came into contact with the outside world. Asuma's existence was first discovered by the elves. They revered this "wild" god born in the wilderness and offered him sacrifices and offerings. This made Asuma feel good about the elves as a race. Then, he gradually learned more about the outside world and civilization. Asuma gradually ascended from "Great Chief" to the height of "God" that he deserved...

As for the mysterious old war, El also obtained crucial information from Asuma:

"Before the war, we never imagined that mortals would have the courage to challenge us, nor that they actually had the power to do so."

"We were at the end of the 'War of the Gods'. The battle was fierce, and four of our brothers fell to our combined might... Even so, it was nothing. War is not uncommon for us. Cyrig once said: The gods are all naturally born rulers of the world, uninfluenced by external forces. It is almost impossible for us to fall. However, over time, the number of rulers is likely to increase. However, the world's 'power' and the interests of mortals have mostly been divided up by the existing brothers. Latecomers cannot obtain the same rights as us, and bloody and cruel wars are inevitable."

"Furthermore, Mother Yil won't allow us to grow without restraint. It's very likely that when we reach a critical point, nature will take action to weaken us. Coupled with the struggle for interests and power, we often fight among ourselves, but most of the time, no one dies."

"Sometimes it's more like seeking a different kind of pleasure for my eternal life," Asuma admitted, his gaze now filled with a hint of confusion and fear. "But what I didn't expect was that in the later stages of the war, our strength would decline to varying degrees. It was then that those mortals in white arrived."

.........

"I sensed her mark and aura on you. I've been asleep for too long, and I can't quite distinguish reality, so I mistook you for her."

The Queen's voice sounded quite sentimental, with a sense of how things have changed and how the world has changed.

The "she" the Queen mentioned was undoubtedly "Shilina". After El showed her Shilin's appearance, there was no doubt that they were the same person.

So she later put on a white robe?

[That's exactly what she would do]

From the conversation, El knew that the relationship between the two seemed to be unusual, but it made sense. After all, Celine's title was "The Brilliant Successor", and she was also a top antique among the elves and a person of the same era as the queen. It was impossible to say that there was no connection and entanglement between the two.

So, what is the relationship between her and you?

The Queen asked a question.

Al had already prepared for this, and he shouted in a loud voice: "Wife! Lover! Spouse!" - Roman law is not monogamous!

So Al is quite confident about this!

He didn't lie!

He didn't lie~!

The queen was not surprised by this. The presence of such a strong mark on the other party showed that the relationship between El and Silina was not ordinary. Not to mention spouses, they could also be mother and son.

However, El suddenly changed the subject and blurted out a term that silenced the Queen:

"He's my prisoner too!"

Al put his hands on his hips and said shamelessly:

"She came to spy on my great project, and I captured her. Then I described to her how, under my rule, all races would live in harmony and equality, building a paradise together. Culture and virtue flourished, the country prospered, the people were wealthy and healthy, and moral standards soared... a happy life without corruption, oppression, public security incidents, or natural or man-made disasters. Everyone's eyes lit up! She was moved by my great wisdom, courage, benevolence, and righteousness, and she exclaimed, 'Lin has wandered for half her life without a true and wise ruler. Now...

Chapter 494

If you will not abandon me... I am willing to lead the elves to join us, abandoning the darkness of the White Tower and joining the light of Rome!"

Al's boasting silenced the Queen.

His approach, which was clearly the "fact", had a strong sense of exaggeration, which made the queen, who had rarely seen such things, silent for a moment.

She believed that "Shilin" might make the "right" choice that would benefit the entire elven community due to some things and the current situation, but El's description was too simple, and Shilina would most likely not do so.

However, when the other party said this, especially when El was obviously very strong, so strong that Asuma, who seemed to know the inside story, trembled in fear in front of him and regarded himself as a servant, this was an unimaginable thing for the queen. Because even if Asuma ranked lower and had weaker power among the gods, he was essentially the same as them. It would certainly not be difficult to determine who was better. But whether it was killing the other party or making the other party so afraid, it was a very difficult thing to do - the latter was so much more difficult than the former, so that the queen had almost never seen her "brothers" show such a side.

And now she is not facing a life-and-death crisis. Asuma is obviously not the real body, but a clone. Combined with the information she has, she is trapped in the "Outer Realm", where there are a total of 24 Old Ones exiled, including her. With such a force, they can almost fight the Old War again. She really can't think of why Asuma is so afraid of the young man... Could it be that the other party's power is greater than the sum of more than 20 true gods, and can easily kill Asma anytime and anywhere, or even make her life worse than death?

Judging from Asma's performance, this possibility does not seem to exist.

......

So no matter what Al said, the Queen did not refute.

138. Covenant

She only occasionally expresses her emotions through silence.

Then she asked a crucial question:

【Why did she become your captive?】

"It's simple," said Al. "I was fighting the White Tower, and she came over to investigate. I grabbed her. Oh, the actual order should be reversed, but it's pretty much the same."

The Queen was silent again.

She couldn't quite understand. In Ai'er's words, going to war with the "White Tower", the new ruler of the world of Ai'er who defeated her "brothers" of the gods and replaced the order they had established together in the past, seemed like a very normal thing?

The feeling of him and the White Tower going to war together was as simple as a simple breakfast he had in the morning when Al said it.

She had some doubts.

Is it that the real strength of the white-robed young man in front of her is so unimaginable that he is so indifferent to a force that can bring twilight to the gods, or... she turned her attention to Asuma who was standing aside.

Have those people in white robes also become weak, just as Asuma described during the "Twilight of the Gods"?

She doesn't know, and for the time being she has no ability to know.

So she asked Al why he came here.

"I sensed a familiar mark on your chair and came here curious about what was going on," Al replied, then asked, "By the way, I have a question too. What's your relationship with Celine? She and I are so different, how could you mistake me for her? I'm a man."

[She didn't...] The queen originally wanted to ask her if she didn't tell her. After all, the other person had the mark of Celine on him, and she would subconsciously regard him as a close comrade-in-arms. But when she thought of the "prisoner" in El's mouth, a trace of sadness inevitably rose in her heart.

We have always been good friends.

"Oh, my best friend." Al nodded.

[Before I fell asleep, he had always been my adjutant... As for admitting my mistake... Xilina once presented herself as a man to avoid the crazy pursuit of her people. Of course, even so, troubles never disappeared. I thought she was still the same as before, but it seems that she has chosen a different side of herself later.]

The Queen's tone was somewhat emotional, but to Al, he was suddenly stunned.

Chapter 106: This is Sparta (V) (25)

"Wait, you said, you said Celine was a man before?"

To be honest, Al was a little scared.

He hadn't felt this way in a long time.

The Queen sensed that he had Celine's mark on him... Where did this mark come from? In a word, she just hadn't reached the last step yet.

Al regards Celine as a rare "treasure" and is willing to spend more patience to eat this delicacy, but that doesn't mean he won't knock on the corners to "taste it."

The Queen seemed to guess what Al was "fearing" at this moment. She sighed inwardly, but still explained:

[Silina is a woman, but she doesn't like men. She used to be my adjutant, and was often pursued by her tribesmen. She was fed up with it, so she asked for my help. I used life magic to disguise her as a man to avoid being pursued.]
