Xiao Li took a deep breath after logging into her big brother's account. Compared to her own account which didn't improve much after a month, her big brother's account was like changing to a different game after not seeing him for three days. After repeatedly confirming and familiarizing herself with the operation options of the doppelganger and the situation of Troy's main body, Xiao Li flew to the next floor.
The fourteenth floor was a space of raging lava. A system notification sounded: — — Discovered a space rich in fire elements, satisfying the absorption requirements of the Fire Elemental Tower of the Martyr's Palace. Would you like to absorb the energy reserves?
Xiao Li was pleasantly surprised. Was there a reward just like that? However, the emperor's battle had already been delayed for more than forty minutes. The explosions from the lower floors were no longer as loud as before. She should focus on seeing the emperor to trigger the next step of the plot. What if the emperor lost?
Thus, Xiao Li continued forward. The fifteenth and sixteenth floors were pure natural hell filled with lava and fire elements. There were no traces of the man-made structures of the upper floors. Countless flame demons of various shapes and sizes surged out of the lava lake towards the lowest floor. Xiao Li couldn't imagine how terrifying the last floor would be.
But that wasn't right. Hell was said to have eighteen floors. Why was this the seventeenth floor? Without thinking too much, Xiao Li ignored the flame demons below and entered the entrance of the seventeenth floor. The scenery changed and a system notification sounded: — — You have entered the immortal domain of the Falcon Emperor Augustine.
Xiao Li was suddenly startled. In front of her was a huge blood-colored fortress standing on a wide lava lake. On the fortress, countless heroic spirits were fighting against the demons that rushed into the city. Countless cannons and arrow towers fired at the Flame Demons that besieged them from all directions. Fire exploded in the fortress and rocks flew everywhere.
This was — — the emperor's Martyr's Palace? Directly occupying the entire seventeenth floor? Xiao Li was stunned! Xiao Li originally thought that her big brother inheriting this beautiful grandmother's palace was an incredible matter. But comparing the beautiful grandmother's palace to the emperor's was like — — a small house meeting a big house, there was no comparison!
At this moment, an excited voice came from the palace: "Your Majesty, my master is here to help!"
An angry voice then exploded, "You're too slow. I've just come out of the seal, so how can I have the power of my peak? Are you trying to kill me? "
Another wild voice sounded, "I, Mammon, swear on the honor of the Mammon Family, one of the seven supreme Demon Lords. As long as the Warriors help me destroy this Skeleton Evil King, all of his Falcon Empire's divine artifacts will be yours. His Evil King Palace will also be yours. His tens of thousands of heroic spirits will also be yours. I can still let you leave hell safely. I will sign the Demon Lord's contract as proof!"
Right after he finished speaking, two rows of system notifications appeared before Xiao Li.
— System Notification: Falcon Emperor Augustine has invited you to join his Hero Corps as a temporary Vice Hero. Do you accept?
— System Notification: Mammon, a member of Hell's Seven Great Demon Lord Families, requests to sign a Demon Contract with you to jointly eliminate Falcon Emperor Augustine. Do you agree?
Xiao Li was shocked on the spot! So it's Mammon, the Greedy Demon Lord of the Seven Great Demon Lord Clans? Is he a Satan-level Demon God just like the Lazy Demon God Belial that appeared in the God Punishment City? Such a powerful existence actually tried to rope me in on the spot? Wasn't the condition he offered the ultimate goal of Big Brother?
At this moment, Irwin's voice sounded, "Sir, both sides are exhausted. We cannot be bewitched by the demons. Please support His Majesty!"
Mammon laughed wildly, "Your Emperor has long since become a rotten skeleton. He is more evil than any human. He is as cunning and cruel as a demon. Didn't that traitor, Thales, tell you? — Skeleton King, hurry up and beg him. You should also use all your Divine Artifacts to beg this human to save your life! Hurry up and use this bat's life to threaten him? Wahahaha, look, the soul fire in your eye sockets betrays your true thoughts … "
The Emperor said coldly, "Is that so? I can hear your fear from your trembling laughter. Think about the punishment you will face from the Patriarch for losing your guard. You might as well die at my hands to gain the reputation of a martyr! "
Xiao Li frowned. In any case, Big Brother's original intention was to rely on the Emperor to kill the demons. Listening to Big Brother was definitely the right thing to do. Xiao Li decisively joined the Emperor's team.
— System Notification: You have joined the Falcon Emperor Augustine's Hero Corps. You have received bonus attributes from Augustine's Hero Corps. Your Attack + 1200, Defense + 1000, HP recovery + 150 per second, Mana recovery + 150 per second.
Xiao Li was shocked once again! According to the Hero Legion's strategy attribute distribution principle, when the commander's attributes were higher than the sub-hero's, the commander would be the standard. Big Brother's attack and defense of 1000 was already very terrifying, but the Emperor could actually increase it by so much. In other words, the Emperor's strategic attack and defense were more than 2000! This was definitely an existence that crushed all mortal Heroes! Unless one had a Domain, even a Level 1 Domain that reduced the Hero's attributes by 50% could barely stand in front of him. Their battle was indeed a battle of gods!
The addition of the Warriors made the Emperor very happy. "Mammon, your little tricks can only fool children!"
Mammon said angrily, "How stupid! You missed the wealth that you could never obtain in a lifetime! "
The Emperor sneered. "Whoever believes the Devil is the stupid one!"
Mammon said coldly, "The balance of the war is tilted in your favor because of a small weight. The following battles are meaningless. Anyway, our reinforcements will arrive in a day. I'll let you live for one more day!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a flame shot up into the sky from the fortress and disappeared instantly. The Flame Demons all fled toward the exit.
The Emperor sneered. "The guy who lost his guard actually has the face to escape back? What shameless boasting. Warriors, kill all these bastards! "
Xiao Li came back to her senses and immediately blocked the entrance. At the same time, the Hirsai Bat Legion flew out of the palace to receive them. Without the Demon Army's commander, the thousands of Flame Demons were like ants in front of the Dafei Legion that had received the Emperor's shocking bonus. They would die with a single touch! All the dead Flame Demons turned into flames and flew into the huge Flame Tower in the Emperor's Palace.
Xiao Li knew that it was the Fire Elemental Tower in the Emperor's Palace that specialized in absorbing energy. Its size and height were at least three times that of Thales' Elemental Tower.
Now that the situation was set, if the Emperor could absorb, so could I. With that thought, Xiao Li also activated the Elemental Absorption option of the Palace of Martyrs.
System Notification: The energy in the current space is being absorbed even more strongly. Your energy absorption speed will be greatly reduced.
Xiaoli was stunned on the spot! At this moment, the Emperor's loud laughter came from the palace. "Interesting! It seems to be Thales' Palace of Martyrs? Warriors, come and see me! "
Finally, she could see the Emperor's true appearance! Xiao Li then called out to Hirsai, "I'll leave the clearing to you!"
"Yes, Master!"
Thus, Xiao Li flew close to the palace and saw the tens of thousands of Heroic Souls in cool blood armor beside the arrow towers on the walls of the fortress. How much stronger were the equipment of these Heroic Souls than the 10,000 armored Heroic Souls that Thales had given to Big Brother? At this moment, Xiao Li felt a little regret — regret for Big Brother! With Big Brother's usual style, he might really surrender to the demons, get the palace and the Heroic Souls, and quickly end this scene and leave Hell to return to the surface world. Thinking about the tens of thousands of Heroic Souls in the hands of the Emperor, how could Big Brother complete his mission?
Then, Xiao Li entered the inner palace that was almost in ruins. From afar, she saw the Emperor in golden-red armor standing with his sword. When he was close enough, he could see clearly but not clearly at the same time. His whole body was wrapped in this dense and luxurious armor and helmet. Only scarlet flames could be seen burning through the gaps of the helmet's eye sockets. Had he really become a skeleton?
"Rise!" A majestic voice rang out from the helmet, ringing in Xiao Li's ears.
Xiao Li did not know whether to laugh or cry. I did not greet him, and I did not kneel. Where did the etiquette come from? So, she could only respond, "Your Majesty."
The Emperor said in a deep voice, "Warriors, being able to gain the recognition of Thales has at least proved everything in terms of ability. Now, the reinforcements of the demons will arrive in one day. I have an ultimate mission for you. If you succeed, you will receive a reward that far exceeds the so-called national artifact. If you fail, there will be no more."
This was probably the path that Big Brother wanted to choose. Xiao Li said, "Please give the order, Your Majesty."
The Emperor said in a deep voice, "Very well! I want to get through the 18th level of Hell and obtain the powerful power from Infernal Hell. Before I succeed, you must think of every way possible. Even if you have to block the entrance to the 17th level of the underground palace, you must block the reinforcements of the demons and buy time for me! Can you do it? "
Xiao Li said in surprise, "Infernal Hell?"
The Emperor said seriously, "Exactly! Hell is divided into 18 levels. The 18th level is the most powerful and cruel Infernal Hell. It is the world that only the most powerful demon monarch is qualified to live in! The ultimate goal of the demons in building the underground palace is to connect to the 18th level and obtain the power from that world! Now that we are outnumbered, we have no way to escape. This is our only chance of survival! "
Xiao Li suddenly understood. No wonder she was wondering why this palace was only 17 levels. After all, 18 levels were one level short.
"Wait!" At this moment, Erwin said, "Your Majesty, I am Erwin! How can you get through Infernal Hell with your own strength? "
The Emperor said, "Oh, it is Clerk. Long time no see. I am relieved to see that you are fine."
Erwin said anxiously, "How can I be fine when I am like this?"
The Emperor did not care. "Now is not the time for idle chatter. Are the Warriors ready?"
Xiao Li said, "I'm ready!"
The Emperor said in a deep voice, "Very good! Clerk, I will immediately tell you the answer. I did not do it alone! "
— — System Notification: Your Legendary Quest "Rescue the Expeditionary Army" has been terminated. You have saved a total of 58,000 war souls. You have obtained 58 million experience points. You have obtained the achievement "Falcon's Lament". All your Einherjars have gained + 10 Attack, + 10 Defense, + 10 Damage, + 100 HP, + 50 Stamina.
— — System Notification: You have obtained the Legendary Quest "Infernal Hell"!
— — Quest Notification: The demon reinforcements are about to arrive. You must do everything you can to buy time for Emperor Augustine to open Infernal Hell. Time to open Infernal Hell: Unknown.
…
Xiao Li was startled. Wasn't there supposed to be 100,000 expeditionary army? Why did they stop when they were only halfway through?
While she was puzzled, the entire palace began to rumble. Then, the tens of thousands of blood-armored Einherjars outside the palace let out earth-shattering screams!
Erwin was shocked. "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
The Emperor said in a deep voice, "Of course I am using their souls and the Martyr's Palace created by slaughtering tens of millions of demons to sacrifice to me! I didn't waste my energy to train them for a thousand years in vain! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the souls of the Einherjars outside gathered like a whirlwind in the collapsing hall. They surrounded the Emperor and screamed!
Erwin cried out, "Your Majesty! You really betrayed us! "
The Emperor let out a long sigh. "You have always used the Church of Light to deceive their believers. It is very limiting. Weren't we also betrayed by your Church? Gods are actually the same as us. Apart from being stronger, they are not much better than us. Since that is the case, we might as well be gods ourselves. Warriors, the rest is up to you! "
After saying that, he waved his hand and the scene changed. Xiao Li and Hirsai's bat army appeared at the entrance of the 17th floor. At that moment, the entrance was displayed as inaccessible.
Xiao Li was stunned. She never thought that following the Emperor would end up like this. Now, tens of thousands of Einherjars and the Emperor's Temple had sent the Emperor off. If she had known this would happen, she would have chosen the demon path! If she had chosen the demon path, everything would have been solved. At that moment, Xiao Li felt very disgusted.
At that moment, Erwin said, "Madam, we still have one day to prepare. Let's open the magic circle to Falcon Mountain according to the original plan. We need to find a way to transport my historical information out first."
Xiao Li frowned. "The Emperor is already like this. Why are you still so enthusiastic about doing things for him?"
Erwin smiled bitterly. "For myself and for you, Madam. He wants to become a god. Do you think I don't want to? Moreover, Madam can't be defeated now. If you are defeated, the War Souls that build up your attributes will be reduced. We can't continue to let the warriors die in vain. "
Hirsai also said, "Madam, the enemy is coming in three armies. Maybe I should take the initiative to attack and scout along their route. I will harass them so that they can't gather at the same time."
That was a good idea! Xiao Li said happily, "Okay, let's do that!"
Hirsai took a deep breath and coughed a few times. Then, he coughed up a bloody crystal. "Madam, this is the crystal of the Blood Bat. It is equivalent to the primary form of Godhood. I will give it to you. As long as I send out sound waves, Madam's crystal will be able to receive it. It will know my position and predict the enemy's movements. In that case, I will go first. "
