For the Ring Guardian Squad, the most urgent task was to leave the Demogorgon of Darkness as soon as possible. The situation was too dangerous within the control of the Mystic Lock and Morgoth's Eye. Whether it was the two confirmed Ringwraiths in the city or the fierce and dangerous Evil Army, they would all pose a fatal threat to the squad. If they could not leave Waterdeep City within 15 days, the unstable power of the Radiant Diamond would expose their whereabouts.
At that time, it would be impossible to protect the Radiance Gemstone.
Of course, all of this seemed to be under the control of Chen Ang, but the actual situation was much more complicated. Although the Dark Force was controlled by the Supreme Ring, its divinity determined that it would inevitably break free from Chen Ang's control, unless Chen Ang was willing to transform into the Dark Force and become the one and only Darth Morgoth and ascend to the throne.
God was the master of all living beings, and God was the slave of all living beings! The nature of a God was the personification of the laws of the universe. He ruled over all living beings and controlled all living beings, but this was his nature, or the slave of the existence of the essence.
The greatest significance to Chen Ang in the Torre world was undoubtedly the knowledge of the God's domain. At least the level of the domain of divinity in this world was not inferior to the knowledge of physics that he had mastered. This was important to his growth. In order to achieve this goal, Chen Ang had to choose to sacrifice something and pretend to be a God.
Chen Ang created the virtual personality of Darth Morgoth and used the Supreme Ring to temporarily control the process, stealing the power to control the Dark Force. However, if he did not reverse the conflict between the Dark Force and Chen Ang's personality, the Dark Monarch would only get further and further away from him. The existence and power of such a God played an irreplaceable role in Chen Ang's exploration of the domain of divinity.
However, this kind of stealing could not form a stable existence. One day, Chen Ang who did not cooperate with the Dark Force would be abandoned by the Dark Force, and the Dark Force would automatically create a personality that matched its nature.
The darkness was like a flood, and the light was the dam. The released Dark Force and the source of evil were like a flood, a terrible power that had been accumulated in the universe for a long time. It was enough for any existence in the Dark Camp to easily ascend to the throne of the strongest Divine Power. If Chen Ang could not slow down this process, it would only allow Darth Morgoth's personality to be formed even faster, and he would become a true Demogorgon of Darkness, a great divine power.
In order to delay the erosion of this personality and gain more time to learn and analyze the domain of divinity, Chen Ang's role as Morgoth was definitely worthy of his identity as a demon among demons. It brought nightmares and fear to the Faerun Continent that they had not experienced for a long time.
The drill protection team tried to sneak into the merchant ships in the port area and get the kind merchants to escort them out of here.
In the sky above the port area, a huge shadow flashed across the heavy haze. Amidst the gloomy clouds, a nearly fifty feet tall giant vaguely showed its silhouette, allowing people to see the heavy shadow of the ferocious existence that was pressing down on everyone, making it hard for them to breathe. Elminster swore that of all the ships he had been on, none had stayed a third of the length of the shadows in the harbor.
They stood at the side of the dock. The team could only see the bow of the gigantic warship. The ferocious dragon head opened its mouth, revealing its dense and sharp teeth. The ruby eyes that were as big as the rim of a bowl were covered in intense red light. The powerful magic energy and arcane waves indicated that this thing was not a decoration. The huge warship was about two thousand feet long from start to finish.
In front of these huge ships, the surrounding merchant ships were so simple and crude that they looked like broken pieces of wood that had been pieced together.
When the huge shadow in the sky revealed a corner of the sky, The drill protection team gave up on their plan to escape by ship. The huge bronze warship floated almost five thousand feet above the ground. The flat bottom of the ship was slightly raised, and giant crossbows the size of carriages were placed in the firing holes on both sides, the heavy bronze cannons aimed downwards.
The most eye-catching thing was the huge air sac on the hull, which was four times the size of the warship.
Elminster's expression was very ugly. He had expected the Evil Camp's power to skyrocket after the arrival of the Demogorgon of Darkness, but he did not expect the situation to deteriorate to this extent.
The Faerun Continent was a place of great conflict. Races and civilizations competed fiercely, filled with barbarism, cruelty, blood, and terror. The Evil Camp was far stronger than the Good Camp, if not for the fact that the conflicts between the Evil Camp were more intense. Countries belonging to the Good Camp might not be able to maintain their current peace and prosperity.
However, this fragile balance was completely built on the relatively chaotic Order of Faerun. Once the axis of evil was ruled with an iron fist, the Good Camp would face a difficult challenge.
"We can't leave this place by sea!" Chen Ang Saruman pointed at the floating fleet in the sky and said, "The floating ships have little need for ports. They can directly dock on land, which means that the Demogorgon of Darkness's influence can spread very far on the sea without being restricted by the terrain of the port."
"Morgoth's Eye in the sky summons evil beings day and night. From Deepwater City to Icewind Valley, from Candlelight Keep to Boder's Gate, his lackeys and claws are everywhere, not to mention Amu and the Scattered Forest Tower. This road is definitely not safe! "
Chen Ang's words caused everyone to ponder. Leila shook his head and said, "But this road is still controlled by the Good Camp. We can only receive support from other good factions on this prosperous trade route. If we go to the remote wilderness, the forces controlled by the Evil Camp will be much stronger than us."
"After all, civilizations are always good, and barren lands are places where evil breeds."
The pipe in Elminster's mouth flickered as he breathed. He listened to the two argue quietly, his brows furrowed in thought. Under his messy beard, the thick smell of smoke spread as he exhaled.
"Do you see those floating ships?" Elminster pointed at the huge shadow in the sky.
"What's more important than what's on the surface," he explained, "Floating ships are the crystallization of great arcane spells. They're widely used in the Void Chamber of Commerce in the astral plane. They're powerful and dangerous, and often represent the hidden strength of a race in the astral plane. Even the most ordinary airship is enough to kill a giant dragon. "
"But I've never seen a floating battleship in the land of Sword Gulf." Elminster looked them straight in the eye, "What I mean is, we don't have the power to create such a war machine. It's not only because of its terrifyingly high cost, but also because of what it represents: population, wealth, and arcana power. "
"Just one floating ship requires the tax revenue of a city with at least ten thousand people. It also requires a team of five to nine mid-ranked Mages to be stationed on the ship for long periods of time to ensure maintenance and adjustment. The wealth of the entire Deepwater City's Sword Bay is only enough to support two floating battleships. "
Elminster looked up at the huge shadows in the clouds and sighed, "But here, there's a medium-sized fleet of the Demogorgon of Darkness with more than fifteen floating ships. We can't pretend we don't see it! We have to admit that a terrifying force of darkness is rising here, and it's taking over the Evil Camp. "
"That's exactly what I'm worried about!" Chen Ang said solemnly.
"In places where the flames of civilization cannot reach, in the wilderness where evil and darkness thrive, the Eye of Morgoth is awakening the evil that has been roaming the wilderness for a long time. It's controlling and awakening those evil creatures. Goblins, kobolds, gnolls, trolls, and even more terrifying things, such as the Chromatic Dragons. "
"As for the civilizations and countries controlled by the Evil Camp, their rulers are madly pursuing the power of darkness and the nineteen rings that represent the Demogorgon of Darkness. I have no doubt that they'll be controlled by the rings and become loyal subjects of the Demogorgon of Darkness. As time passes, the Demogorgon will only grow stronger and stronger. We don't have much time left … "
The drilling team felt a heavy sense of mission. Thinking back to what they saw in Waterdeep City and Evernight City, they felt the situation getting more and more urgent. The worsening situation made them feel suffocated and terrified. (To be continued …)
