Chapter 168 168 The Jealous Servant Arrives? Devouring Shadow: Is this still the Continent of Rodri!
Chapter 168 168. Greed Sin Servants Descend? Devouring Shadow: Is this still the Roderick Continent!
The mermaid race's rebellion, which clearly almost cost them their lives, resulted in surprisingly little commotion.
There was no worst-case scenario that Lily and the others had anticipated—the projection of the King of Jealousy descending.
Not even a single Greed Sin Servant under the King of Jealousy showed their face; from beginning to end, there were only some Abyss from the Domain of Jealousy, plus a number of Leviathans.
Even so, the Leviathans and Abyss were mostly destroyed by the furious Lokia in one fell swoop.
To be honest, the battle of this rebellion was somewhat anticlimactic.
Of course, this was a good thing for the mermaid race; thanks to the timely response and the rapid support from the Church of the Dawn, although the mermaid warriors suffered many casualties, it was still within an acceptable range.
The Halo of the Moon was also constantly recovering with the remote support of Lokia and Ian; after pouring a bucket of milk on it later, or having Resia make a special trip to cast a spell to remove the curse, it would be completely healed.
The damage from this unwarranted demonic invasion was not considered severe.
It's just that, for the conquering powerhouses, it seems…
"Bang!"
The interweaving of battle aura clashed and entangled with each other in the sea, and ultimately dissipated between the waves.
Along with the collapse of the two streams of battle aura, two burly figures hidden within the battle aura emerged in the sea.
One had the head of a tiger and the body of a human, and the other had the head of a lion and the body of a human.
They were the only two Holy Knights of the Tiger-man and Lion-man races, the patriarchs of the two races.
Across the heavy waves, under the battle aura shields, the two looked at each other from a distance, their hands behind their backs clenching and then releasing in unison.
After a long time, the Tiger-man patriarch gave a fake laugh.
"Old friend, your strength has grown… I'm afraid you used a potion of power, right?"
"Likewise."
The Lion-man patriarch replied, and then glanced at the Leviathan whose spine had been broken and was helplessly falling into the depths of the sea.
"Old friend, what do you mean by this? I was the first to set my sights on this Leviathan…"
The Tiger-man patriarch laughed boldly and said casually:
"What's yours and mine, aren't we all dedicating ourselves to the great Lord, to the merciful Pope?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Tiger-man patriarch suddenly attacked, his claws wrapped in sharp battle aura, grabbing towards the Leviathan, but was blocked in mid-air by the Lion-man patriarch.
"Old friend, aren't you going too far?"
The Lion-man patriarch's tone was slightly cold.
"There should always be a first come, first served basis."
"That's the principle, old friend, but considering our past friendship, let me have it."
The Tiger-man patriarch's tone was sincere.
"My contribution is almost enough, and when I enter the Silver Armor Pillar, I will remember your kindness, and I will recommend you at that time…"
"Coincidentally, I wanted to say the same thing."
The Lion-man patriarch flicked his tail, entangling the Tiger-man patriarch's tail that was quietly stabbing towards the Leviathan.
"You won't give me any face?"
The Tiger-man patriarch narrowed his eyes slightly, and the Lion-man patriarch smiled insincerely.
"I want to see how much you have improved under the protection of the Lord; don't embarrass the Pope."
"Then let's rely on our own abilities!"
The Tiger-man patriarch rushed towards the Leviathan in an instant, but the long saber that followed forced him to dodge.
"Be careful, old friend, Leviathans are very insidious."
"Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention!"
In an instant, a silent battle for the Leviathan was staged.
And the conflict between these two patriarchs was not an isolated case.
At this time, the Dragon and Elf races were blocking the gate to the Abyss, vying for merit; they could only find some fragmented Leviathans to kill.
Each Leviathan became a medal of honor that countless people were eyeing.
Such a scene of secretly competing for spoils was constantly being staged in the Mermaid race's territory.
Not far away at the only remaining Abyss Gate, Locke and Vastian stood quietly in the sky above the Abyss Gate, overlooking the entire battlefield.
He glanced at the battle results of his clansmen killing the demons pouring out of the Abyss, calculating whether the spoils of his clansmen this time exceeded those of the other side.
After a long time, Vastian sighed with great regret.
"It's a pity that the Greed Sin Servants didn't come as expected; otherwise, beheading the Greed Sin Servants would have made the Pope happier."
Locke nodded in agreement with Vastian's opinion for once.
"I didn't expect the King of Jealousy to be so cautious; it seems… this battle will end here."
As soon as he finished speaking, before the peaceful atmosphere could be maintained for long, a torrent of natural power rushed towards the Abyss menacingly.
Leaving aside the battle achievements of the other races, the elves had killed more Leviathans now, and Locke didn't plan to wait any longer.
Destroying this Abyss Gate and obtaining the Abyss Crystal, whether calculated from the number of Abyss destroyed or the number of Leviathans killed, the elves would surpass the dragons.
In this war to quell the rebellion following the Sea God, the elves would be the top contributors!
Since this was the case, Locke naturally didn't plan to leave this Abyss for the dragons to farm achievements.
But the idea was beautiful; in fact, Vastian, who had been staring at Locke, immediately took action to guide Locke's attack in other directions.
Dragon language magic wrapped the natural thorns and flew towards the sea, crossing the sea surface and exploding in the stormy dark clouds in the sky.
Exploding into a clear sky for dozens of miles around.
But no one saw this scene.
"I knew you old bastard was dishonest!"
Vastian laughed, but his huge figure nimbly blocked Locke's path.
"Want to destroy the Abyss and fix the battle achievements at this moment? Wait until the dragon warriors get more heads!"
"You old mud loach!"
Locke gritted his teeth in anger; the good temper he had cultivated for nearly a thousand years had no effect in the face of Vastian.
"Do you really think I can't beat you?"
"If you have the ability, come on!"
The auras of the two became more and more turbulent, and the power of the Archmage, which spread out silently, stirred up the sea into two bottomless whirlpools.
For a time, the surrounding Sages and Legends were forced to retreat from the place of conflict.
"The Black Dragon Patriarch also…"
The mermaid patriarch pulled Neptune back behind Lily, looking at the two powerhouses who had clearly transcended the upper limit of the Roderick Continent.
The mere clash of auras caused the ocean currents to surge and churn.
For a moment, the Mermaid Chieftain couldn't help but feel envious.
Each second that Locke and the others unleashed a layer of divine aura, he felt another layer of regret.
Had he known this would happen, he should have joined the Church of the Dawn long ago; perhaps he would be a deity by now…
As he pondered, Neptune suddenly exclaimed, pointing towards the location near the Halo of the Bright Moon.
"Abyss! A super-large Abyss!"
As soon as he spoke, Locke and Vasti, who were engaged in a confrontation, Lily Eis, who was beside them, and even the Sage Legends who had been shamelessly snatching Leviathan heads from the younger generation, were already standing before the super-large Abyss.
"This scale…"
Sensing the demonic energy emanating from the super-large Abyss before them, Lily Eis couldn't help but look grave, her Staff of All Things' Breath clutched tightly in her hand.
The abyssal energy of this magnitude, upon its appearance, almost caused the surrounding space barriers to teeter, resembling the Pride King's display of power last time.
Could it be…
That the Jealousy King couldn't resist taking action himself?
But…
Glancing at the Halo of the Bright Moon not far away, although there was still some demonic corruption remaining, it was clearly insufficient to support a Demon King's entry.
Moreover, they hadn't seen the existence of a Demon King's contract just now…
But in any case, an Abyss of this level could not be underestimated. Lily Eis and the others were already prepared to find a way to transfer these Merfolk and powerhouses.
Although Lily Eis and the others had been promoted to the Divine level, it was only after reaching the Divine level that they could understand the gap between them and a Demon King.
It was even greater than the gap between a magic apprentice and an Archmage.
"Prepare to leave."
Lily Eis reminded the Mermaid Chieftain in a low voice.
"An Abyss of this scale either means the descent of the Jealousy King's power, or…"
Before she could finish speaking, Lily Eis clearly saw the being emerging from the super-large Abyss.
Her expression instantly became somewhat subtle.
"A gift bearer?"
…
As the most loyal warriors under the Jealousy King, the three Jealousy Sin Servants held a position in the Jealousy King's pantheon second only to those Jealousy Sub-Gods who conquered other worlds.
But in the end, they were only Saint-level and newly entered Divine-level beings.
If it weren't for the special situation in the Roderick Continent, coupled with the fact that other Sub-Gods were still wrapping up things in other worlds, they wouldn't have been given this task.
But that didn't mean the Jealousy Sin Servants didn't have dreams!
Filled with enthusiasm, the Shadow of Devouring, Nemesis, rushed into the Abyss with the Eye of Scrutiny and the Tongue of Distortion.
He was wholeheartedly thinking about how this time he would defeat the Merfolk, corrupt the Halo of the Bright Moon, and finally guide the Demon army to annex the Roderick Continent.
When the time came, a 'Jealousy Vanguard,' an 'Excellent Demon Team,' and an 'Advanced Individual Demon' award should be guaranteed.
Then, he would gain the recognition of the great Jealousy King, be granted divine authority, ignite the divine fire, be promoted to a True God, become a truly famous Authority in the Demon race, and achieve a leap in his rank.
The Shadow of Devouring had already planned his growth as a Demon after achieving true divine authority.
He would apply to be transferred to other worlds to assist in the annexation work, accumulate merits, and then personally lead the plan to annex the world, just like other Sub-Gods.
Eventually, he would break through to Lower God in five thousand years and achieve Middle God in one hundred thousand years.
He would reach the top in the Jealousy pantheon and become the Jealousy's Left Hand.
The future was bright!
But when he crossed the Abyss and roared in the deep sea, yearning for progress, the Shadow of Devouring fell into a long silence.
The four pairs of large eyes on his head instantly became clear and wise when they made contact with the person standing opposite him.
The situation was not right…
Three Divine-level beings whose auras were no weaker than his, seven or eight Saint-level beings even stronger than the Eye of Scrutiny and the Tongue of Distortion.
Plus hundreds of warriors who were only slightly weaker than the Saint-level, and thousands comparable to high-level Leviathans.
Most importantly, when these guys saw their famous Jealousy Sin Servants, not only were they not afraid, but their eyes were as greedy as the Greed King's.
This…
Was this still the Roderick Continent?
The Shadow of Devouring was a little confused.
Looking back at the way he came, at this moment, the Shadow of Devouring was thinking about whether there was something wrong with the posture of opening the Abyss Gate this time.
But looking at the Halo of the Bright Moon not far away…
The eight eyes of the Shadow of Devouring went black, almost fainting on the spot.
Good news, this was still the Roderick Continent.
Bad news…
Three Divine-level beings were nothing, but there was also a proper Authority over there. He couldn't see through the specific level, but a Lower God was a conservative estimate.
Damn it, why!
Why did the Roderick Continent just happen to be on steroids when it was their Jealousy Sin Servants' time to show their might?
But now was clearly not the time to think about these things, the gazes of these guys were becoming more and more greedy.
The Shadow of Devouring knew very well what that look meant. Just like he had yearned for merits before, these guys…
Seemed to want to improve as well.
The Shadow of Devouring thought a lot in a short time, from his birth to becoming a Demon, conquering many worlds without fail…
Everything in the first half of his life flashed before his eyes, just like the human saying about the revolving lantern of life.
In the end, the Shadow of Devouring's strong desire to survive prompted him to understand that he should return to the Jealousy Domain and readjust his mentality.
So, the Shadow of Devouring, who had been silent after roaring, spoke again.
"Sorry, wrong way."
With that, he moved his huge body and turned to drill back into the Abyss.
But when he turned around, he found that Lily Eis had somehow blocked the Abyss.
Lily Eis smiled very happily, looking at the Shadow of Devouring as if she were looking at a rare treasure.
"One for each of us?"
Lily Eis signaled to Locke and Vasti, who nodded happily.
Watching the three divine powers that ignited the sea erupt, the Shadow of Devouring understood.
His path would probably end here…
