From the very start, we had been observing the demon priest who was currently praying to the Snake God. He had been constantly summoning Divine Arts, but nobody took him seriously.
That was because the Chaos Evil Gods were fundamentally different from the Order Gods. The Chaos Evil Gods were primordial Gods that could advance on their own, and didn't rely too much on the power of belief. But on the other hand, they also lacked a sense of responsibility towards their believers.
That's right, a sense of responsibility. Although it sounded rather strange, there would often be some sort of contract or mysterious relationship between the Gods and mortal believers. The Order Gods and their believers were just like a registered, formal company. The benefits and treatment were all clear, and the company's business, spirit, and rules were all clear. There was even room for improvement.
If the priests and priests did an excellent job, the company's performance would increase, and the God (company)'s power level would increase by another level. The believers and priests would also receive God's blessing, places to spread their religion, and authority in return. But if the company collapsed (or the God died), all the "employees" would naturally lose their jobs.
And in this aspect, the Chaos Evil Gods who were no longer bound by Order and rules were completely different. The Chaos Evil Gods and their evil cultists were just like a secret, illegal, and illegal black company. The boss wouldn't set any clear rules, and everything would be decided by him alone. Meanwhile, the company's goal was to make the boss rich and improve himself. The employees were nothing more than tools with no guarantees.
This highlighted the foundational difference between the Chaos Evil Gods and the Order Gods. The Order Gods were like legal companies that competed in the market. Apart from very few situations, they had to compete legally according to the rules, competing on management, and so on.
But, rather than having the Chaos Evil Gods' illegal companies operate, it would be better to directly rob and rob them. Stealing a Divine Concept, divinity, and devouring a weak God would be more effective than the Order Gods' thousands of years of accumulation.
That was why the Chaos Evil Gods were far more aggressive than the Order Gods. In such a situation, the great majority of Evil Gods viewed their believers as useful tools, or more accurately, slaves that voluntarily offered sacrifices to them. As long as their goal was achieved, who would care about whether the tools were good or bad?
Just look at Rose from back in the day. Not a single Order God would allow their worshippers to kill each other, as that would reduce the total amount of faith in them. Yet, Rose only hoped for the strongest chess pieces. She would bestow divine favor upon murderers and slaughterers, and punish the weak and kind. She viewed the Elven Gods as her mortal enemies and prey.
Therefore, believing in an Evil God could make one rich overnight, as long as one was to the "Big Boss"'s liking and was appreciated by the "Big Boss". However, there was also a possibility that one would become a pawn in an Evil God's scheme and die mysteriously.
As far as I know, 99% of the cases where you become rich overnight, you've already stepped into the Evil God's chess game and can't extricate yourself. Those old and cunning fellows will never make a losing deal. The infighting between them is extremely intense. Both sides are competitors, but also prey.
Perhaps the most pitiful of all would be the "Soul Black Contract". Even if you died, your soul would still have to report to the Evil Gods. At that time, the Evil Gods would determine whether you would be transformed into a God's servant, devil, demon, or something like that, or directly converted into soul coins, snacks, or raw materials.
In essence, the Order Gods and the Chaos Evil Gods were all the same. They only pursued their own personal benefits. Who would care about the lives of mortals? It was just like how both sides chased after personal benefits. The only difference was that one side was a bit nicer and focused on long-term business, while the other side didn't have any restrictions or obstacles and dared to do anything. However, the risks were also high, and the benefits came and went quickly.
As we travel through the Abyss, we naturally have to deal with the Evil Gods of Chaos.
The Snake God's information was no secret. He was the Guardian God of snake demons, snake people, and lizardmen. He was also the God of Poison. His true form was probably a gigantic venomous snake from ancient times. His combat experience wasn't particularly outstanding, and his attack power was the weakest among all the Evil Gods. However, he had lived for a long time, and that was the strongest sign of all. The Chaos Abyss was no friendly place.
I didn't want to provoke such an ancient artifact. Who knew what trump cards he had hidden up his sleeves? However, his cautious personality made me feel much more reassured.
As for the Snake God's believers praying to the Snake God's power, I had killed so many lizardmen over the past few days that I could fill a warehouse with them. Yet, I hadn't seen a single lizardman that actually managed to summon an Evil God's power.
If the Snake God's believers met with an enemy that was beyond their abilities, the Evil God's believers would be able to pray to the Evil God for divine blessings that exceeded the norm. However, the Evil God wouldn't even bother to pay attention to them if they didn't have sufficient benefits.
This mortal plane was filled with snake demons and lizardmen. The Snake God had dozens of believers, so the Snake God wouldn't care much for his believers here. If this was the mortal plane, the death of a single high-level priest would be a major loss. Not only would the Snake God lose face, but it would also be quite likely that the Snake God would help if the Snake God's believers in the mortal plane met with a calamity.
This place was quite close to the Snake God's main body, and it was quite dangerous. Lizardmen were dying every day. Although the signal here was quite good, it was almost impossible for the Snake God's believers to respond to their prayers.
Perhaps this was why the Snake God's main body was so important to the Snake God's embassy. There weren't many people here, and it was a matter of face … Ahem, ahem, let's stop here for now. Things had been quite tense recently, so I shouldn't try to die too much.
So, when I saw the gigantic cyan-blue snake in the sky, my first reaction was that I was hallucinating. My second reaction was that I discovered that my luck had been running out for far too long. It was likely that my luck had been running out for several hundred years already.
"Damn it, I can't be so unlucky, can I?"
"The situation is tense. Retreat!"
"Let's take the goods and leave first …"
Due to our many years of tacit understanding, we instantly came to an agreement. I tossed out a sword of light that nailed the lizardman shaman who was holding the heart stone. This time, I didn't miss at all.
Little Red, who had just been howling on the ground, instantly stood up and leaped towards the lizardman shaman.
She then grabbed the heart stone and swallowed it. Just as she was about to spread her wings and fly away, I unhesitatingly fled first. I could sense that the snake had already locked onto me!
Challenging an Evil God's main body in an Evil God's private mortal plane would be no different from challenging an Evil God's main body in a True God's Divine Kingdom. I didn't want to die so arrogantly.
However, the next instant, I was blocked by a figure.
It was a female, a female demon general who was more than three meters tall. Her black scale armor was covered in scars, and the chain sword she held in her right hand was also covered in blood.
She viciously glared at me as if I was the person who had killed her father.
If it wasn't for the scars on her face, she would definitely be considered a beauty. But right now, the viciousness and naked hatred in her eyes made me feel rather confused.
"That? Do we know each other? I don't remember offending you. Miss, what's your surname? "
"Hmph, it's your emotional debt again. Do you even remember the woman you offended?"
Harloys's words made me feel rather guilty. When I really tried to compare my past memories with hers, I still didn't find anything …
"Ka Wen Si …"
Every single word she squeezed out was filled with intense hatred. Her blood-red eyes were filled with nothing but hatred and regret.
So it was all Cavendish's fault. What the hell was wrong with me? How did I get hit like this!?
"Wait a moment, although we look very similar, take a closer look. I'm a human, while Cavendish is a demon …"
Before I even finished speaking, countless red chains sealed off the sky. The female demon general unhesitatingly attacked while wielding her magic sword!
"Damn it, even this is related to me!"
She was already attacking me. What else could I do? Fight!
I suddenly unsheathed my ice sword and blocked the formless chain magic sword. The enemy before me gave me a lot of pressure. She wouldn't be an opponent that I could easily deal with.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that the Snake God didn't seem to intend on interfering. Little Red was also blocked by a deformed demon general. Judging from his strange appearance, he was probably the Slaughter Maniac Demon Salor, the Devil General from the first level of the Chaos Abyss.
In that case, it was quite obvious who my opponent was when I combined this God Equipment that reeked of blood and curses, as well as the countless wailing souls on top of it.
"Lasnina, the Lord of Curses!"
The next instant, the entire sky was ignited by Holy Light. This wasn't an act. It would be incredibly foolish to hold anything back in front of a Devil Lord.
My Holy Light wings completely exploded, and the ice sword in my hand was replaced by a God Equipment war hammer. The Holy Light I spat out transformed into a sun-like source of light!
"Holy Light, this enemy is worth fighting!"
There was no need for a reason or an excuse. She was already an enemy to begin with!
Since the Devil Lord was already right in front of her, she wouldn't be afraid of anyone if she wanted to fight!
