Abyss Domination - Chapter 216

Chapter 216

It was getting closer and closer to the New Year .

But this year seemed doomed since there were continuous disasters . The whole southern region was depressed . An adult red dragon appeared in the vicinity of Whiterun . Although Soran had long known that there was an ancient red dragon there, it was not until now that other people discovered its existence . The dragon caused great chaos, attracted many adventurers who tried to slaughter it, and threatened the surrounding cities .

Red dragons were an evil existence .

Aristocrats began to raise taxes because of the dragon’s existence, saying they would need more funds for defenses . They could always find various excuses to collect extra taxes . There also seemed to be a migration of the half-orcs in the south near the mountains . Because of conflicts in the region, war was more likely to occur .

There wasn’t much news about the desert region .

However, it seemed that the road to the East had been cut off by someone, and it seemed that chaos in the desert was spreading . No new cities had been destroyed, but turmoil was still brewing . To the north of the City of Wealth, there seemed to be traces of devil believers . The demons had just been cleaned up but the bewitching devils seemed to have begun to appear . Almost every city had some strange faces . Even the Elven Courts seemed to have been divided; there was a fierce dispute between the Ancient Tree doctrine and the Spiritual doctrine of Druids .

It was rumored that some of the high-grade druids who believed in the Tree of Life had gone away, and even the legendary “Earth Walker” felt a little dissatisfied with the Elven Courts .

As the balancers and defenders of nature, their beliefs were more inclined to the Tree of Life than to the elven gods . This matter was still brewing, the conflict was still escalating; if there wasn’t a strong force intervening, it was likely to lead to an internal split of the Elves . Ultimately, the Druids would break away from the elves, abandoning the beliefs of their gods and turn to the oldest Tree of Life .

This belief had been gaining support from other druids, as well as spreading among the other races .

They called this the ‘Reincarnation of the Druids’!

The vagrant Druids among the humans, half-elves, orcs, half-orcs, and many more were inspired and seemed to support the restoration of the ancient belief of the Tree of Life . This had led to deviations in the Druids throughout the world, with more than 60% of them switching their beliefs to the Tree of Life . The influence of the elves in the Druids had greatly diminished, and the various Druids seemed to be preparing for some conspiracy .

The elven gods had become weak!

Even before the Time of Troubles, their strength had declined . This seemed to be something that someone was very happy to see; something she had been waiting for thousands of years .

A web that has been weaved awaits its prey!

In a dark canyon .

A handsome, tall figure was advancing . He wore a noble robe and played the flute in his hand . In this seemingly gloomy and terrible canyon, he walked leisurely joyously . A strange sound, which seemed a little sharp and harsh . He listened to the sound intently, then raised his hand and summoned a glow . Dense shadows surrounded him; they were palm-sized vampiric bats .

“Huuuu!”

A gust of wind came, and the vast number of bats flew up . They had sharp fangs and dark red wings . There were probably hundreds of thousands of them . After flying, they almost covered the sky in the canyon . There were so many bats that it was dangerous even for a legendary profession, but the man was not worried at all . He gently picked up the flute and played the notes from hell . One by one, the bats fell to the ground in black, and their eyes, ears, mouths, and noses overflowed with a trace of blood .

“Pa!Pa!Pa!”

A burst of applause as the vampiric demi-god in a delicate suit appeared . He looked at the man in front of him and smiled, “The Hellpoemer indeed! Daring to come here alone to find me!”

Hellpoemer .

A name that was forbidden in many places .

The man’s face did not seem to be true . He glanced at Rhinehart indifferently and said slowly, “The god of vampires? Is that the only trick you have after becoming a god? Looks like you’re having it hard . I heard you were chased by a group of people like a lost dog! ”

Rhinehart’s mouth twitched slightly, but still had an elegant smile on his face . He said slowly, “It’s only temporary . After I became a god, I saw a wider world . An unprecedented opportunity is coming, so long as I seize this opportunity, I can stand on the top of the gods, at that time no one can stop me from ascending the throne! ”

The Hellpoemer giggled and had a sarcastic expression . “Really? Well, you’ll have to run from me first,” said the Hellpoemer .

Rhinehart frowned at him and slowly said, “Are we really going to fight? Why are you on their side? What they can give you, I can give you the same thing, I would even share everything with you . ”

The Hellpoemer showed a sarcastic smile and said, “What you see is just the tip of the iceberg . Even if you want to cooperate with me, you would have to show your value . There are countless weak gods like you in the Pantheon!”

The Hellpoemer disappeared suddenly .

As if there was an expanding sound wave, the surrounding bats fell to the ground one after the other .

Snake Island .

Soran stood on the dock and looked down at everything . Within three days, he had recruited hundreds of pirates, and now he had more than 300 under his command . Adele stood at the bow of the boat, beside the first mate promoted by Soran . Now that he had enough strength, it was time to clean up the other enemies . Pirates needed no training as this was a profession in which the strong survived and the weak were eliminated .

“Set out!”

Soran landed gently on the head of the killer whale, facing the awe of the other pirates, his eyes had only slight anxiety .

That was because he had heard a piece of somewhat bad news .

It seemed that the rumors of the Throat-Cutter had had a greater impact than he had expected . It even startled one of the pirate kings who ruled the South coast .

Pirate king ‘The King of the Swamps’ .

He was not human, but a mixture of the Swamp Giant and the Lizardman . The intelligence of the Giants had always been low, but this pirate king was an exception . The chances of cross-creature fertilization were very low; it was said that he was born because of some taboo spells . Lizardman were amphibians, and they could move on land as well as in water . The King of the Swamps was one of the pirate kings who ruled the South coast . Pirates under him included humans, Lizardman, Kuo-toa, mixed-race creatures and so on .

The three pirate kings all had their backgrounds .

Behind the pirate king of the Amazons stood the Storm temple; she was the pirate king who believed in the Storm Lord . Another pirate king of half Amazonian descent was an inhuman creature, supported by the Naga Sirens, who believed in the sea goddess . The last pirate king was the King of the Swamp; he did not believe in any of the gods but gave his faith to the devil in the abyss .

The Prince of the Depths ‘Dagon’!

There was a doctrine that said, “In the mortal world, Dagon’s cult prevails in the coastal areas . Its followers shall mate with half-fish creatures in exchange for the power from Dagon, a blessing of fishes and exotic treasures . All of this given to them by the Demon Lord at the cost of polluting their own blood . ”

Indeed .

The King of the Swamp was a monster born for some reason . The product of a failed ceremony . The person in charge of the ceremony had not pleased the evil abyss lord thus he did not gain much power . On the contrary, the unexpected product of the ceremony, now the King of the Swamps, gained the power bestowed by the abyss lord, Dagon .

That was how a mixed-blood creature was born .

He had not only great power but also the intelligence of a demon . Although he was slightly crazy, he still had become one of the three pirate kings on the South coast .

This pirate king controlled the deepsea regions of the South coast .

His lair was at a place called Demon Island; a place where only the evilest pirates would go .

He was also a pirate that didn’t make moves logically!

Although the pirate kings had great power, they also had a close relationship with the temples, almost all of them did things for their own interest . Only the King of the Swamps liked chaos . If he was not satisfied with the rise of a powerful pirate on the south coast, he might just attack Soran .

If that happened, Soran wouldn’t be able to win; by then he would need Vivian’s power .

Although Soran could turn to the Sea temple for help, getting help also meant giving . Furthermore, he recalled the news that the Naga Siren priest told him .

Until now, Soran still could recall the expression she had when she told him the news!
