Game of the World Tree - Chapter 685

685. Chapter 682 Anos

The so-called sacrifice is actually a living sacrifice.

Or to be more precise, it is the sacrifice of the life of a creature of the same species as the sacrificer.

Life sacrifice is not limited to evil gods, but also exists among righteous gods. Some clergymen often sacrifice their souls and lives when they stimulate certain special divine arts.

After all, although the level of soul power and life force is not as high as that of divine power, it is also one of the original forces of the world and is energy that can be directly absorbed and utilized by gods. However

, the righteous gods have reason and a sense of rules, while the evil gods are often paranoid and crazy.

Many righteous gods disdain the way of killing the chicken to get the eggs by sacrificing life, but for the evil gods, this is the easiest way of sacrifice to please them.

After all… what the evil gods love to see most is the fratricide and chaotic bloodbath among creatures.

Through life sacrifice, they can not only obtain the feedback of vitality as one of the original forces of the world, but also get great enjoyment from the fear and despair of the sacrifice.

In addition, the more vigorous the life force of the sacrifice, the better, and it is best to have a powerful extraordinary person, so that it is easier to get the response of the evil god.

With Otto’s order, the high priest quickly brought seven professionals, each of whom had at least the strength of the silver rank.

Each of them was tied up tightly with a magic-forbidden rope, and their eyes looking at Otto were still full of anger.

In war, there will always be some prisoners captured, as well as some rebels who are dissatisfied with the rule.

This is also the origin of these people.

As a sacrifice to the gods, for Otto, they are the best choice.

Entering the main tent temporarily set up in the army station, all the others were dismissed, and then Otto once again ordered the high priest and the ordinary priests who accompanied him:

“Okay, hold the sacrifice.”

The high priest repeatedly agreed, and used the materials that had been prepared long ago to draw a huge magic circle with grooves on the ground, which almost occupied two-thirds of the entire tent.

Then, he ordered people to put the seven tied professionals on the sacrificial magic circle, and under their horrified eyes, cut their throats one by one.

For a moment, blood gushed out, and soon soaked the magic circle on the ground.

As the blood flowed into the grooves of the magic circle, the dark red light gradually condensed on the magic circle.

Seeing the magic circle emitting light, Otto’s eyes flickered slightly.

“Okay, you go down first.”

He said to the high priest.

The high priest opened his mouth, his expression was a little embarrassed, but in the end he bowed slightly and honestly led the other priests to retreat.

Not long after the high priest left, the light on the magic circle suddenly became stronger, and a burst of purple-black smoke suddenly rose up, turning into an illusory giant face in the air…

The blurred giant face looked at Otto standing on the ground, and a voice that was difficult to distinguish between male and female rang out:

“Otto, didn’t I tell you not to disturb me recently?”

As he said that, a strong pressure suddenly pressed down and rushed straight to Otto.

Otto’s face turned pale and he knelt on the ground subconsciously.

However, his expression was still fearless, and he said calmly:

“Your Majesty Anos, is this what you call cooperation?”

The pressure suddenly dissipated, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on the giant face’s blurred features:

“Otto, if it was two hundred thousand years ago, I would definitely make a rude guy like you regret coming to this world.”

“If it weren’t for the fact that you are Guy’s descendant, you would have died and the entire Maple Leaf Territory would have been destroyed!”

Looking at the giant face’s indifferent expression, Otto stood up, patted the dust on his body, and smiled slightly:

“But if I die, your plan to quickly restore your strength will also be delayed, right? And you will also lose a possible ally in the future.”

Looking at Otto’s confident expression, the giant face said indifferently:

“Otto, are all you vampires so confident?”

“Don’t think that you can become another blood clan ancestor just by getting the godhood of the ancestor with the help of Nidhogg. Guy’s priesthood has fatal flaws after all.”

“If you can’t get the priesthood of death, even if you become an ancestor, you’re just a waste of weak divine power.”

“Also, if the current God of Death knew that Guy’s priesthood was with you, I’m curious if you could still see tomorrow’s sun…”

Hearing the sarcasm of the giant face, Otto smiled faintly:

“You won’t, now you are the only one left in Titan, you need allies.”

“Allies? Haha, I never need that kind of thing… Tell me, why are you summoning me at this time if you don’t help me spread the faith?”

The giant face asked indifferently.

Otto’s expression became serious and he replied:

“Your Majesty Anos, I’m in trouble, the elves have joined the war.”

“The elves, are they the long ears that Yggdrasil made that you mentioned before? Well, the ones you sacrificed last time tasted pretty good. If you have more in the future, you can sacrifice more to me.”

The giant face said with lingering feelings.

Otto’s expression froze, then he sighed:

“Your Majesty Anos, don’t underestimate those elves. They are the elves of the Elf Forest. They are different from the elves you met in the Maple Leaf Territory. Not only are they warlike by nature, but they are also extremely cunning. Their personalities are completely the opposite of the elves in the traditional sense. At the same time… they have also been favored by the Goddess of Life and can be resurrected from the dead.”

“Isn’t that even better? We can make unlimited sacrifices.”

The giant-faced man said nonchalantly.

Otto: …

Looking at his speechless look, the giant face said sarcastically:

“Well, you can’t beat me again and want me to take action? Just say it directly, why beat around the bush.”

“However, since the elves have taken action, then the successor of Yggdrasil you mentioned may also be involved, right?”

After hearing the giant face’s words, Otto straightened his expression and said in a deep voice:

“If nothing unexpected happens, I’m afraid it’s like this. When you really take action, you will most likely meet the one in the Forest of Elves.”

The giant face nodded lightly, and his blurry eyes moved slightly:

“Is your name Eve? Inherited all the priesthood of Yggdrasil?”

“Yes, it is said that an elf was deified through the faith of the demiplane, and used his divine power to purify all the mixed-blood humans on that demiplane into elves. It is said that the elves have different personalities because of this reason…”

Otto explained.

After hearing his words, the giant face narrowed his eyes:

“That is the belief in the true god.”

“Hehe… I have recently studied the power of faith. I have to say that this is indeed a wonderful ability that can allow ordinary people to step into the mythological level, but… after all, it is still a little bit worse.”

“At most, it can only accumulate more divine power. If you encounter a powerful ancient god, you will eventually fall!”

Seeing the disdainful expression of the giant face, Otto hurriedly reminded:

“Your Majesty Anos, this goddess Eve is not ordinary. Although she is a newborn true god of faith, she easily killed a god with weak divine power!”

“Although that is also a true god of faith, it is enough to show the strength of the goddess of life. According to my speculation, her strength may have reached the weak level or even close to the middle level of divine power…”

Glancing at Otto’s serious expression, the giant face was a little surprised:

“You know these things clearly.”

“After all… becoming a myth is also one of my goals. The priesthood of the ancestor does not require faith, but requires a lot of death and killing, and you also need to expand your faith through war and fear. This is also the basis of our cooperation, isn’t it?”

Otto smiled.

The giant face glanced at him and said indifferently:

“Otto, sometimes… being too smart is not a good thing.”

As he said, he narrowed his eyes again:

“Eve… I really want to meet him. I wonder who is stronger between him and those dragon gods…”

“Let him pay for the debt of sealing me by Yggdrasil.”

After speaking, the giant face looked at Otto again:

“Okay, I already know about the matter. When necessary, I will take action.”

“Is it the city in front? Well… I can sense that there are no less than 5,000 beings with extremely strong life force in it!”

The giant face looked in the direction of Ogus City, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

Seeing the other party’s expression of tyranny and greed, Otto hesitated for a moment and continued:

“Your Majesty Anos, I’m afraid it’s not just here. The elves claim that they have sent out an army of 200,000 this time, and now they have divided their troops to attack several other nearby cities. Without your help, I’m afraid they will not be able to defend them.”

Hearing this, the giant face looked at Otto sarcastically:

“Otto, are you treating me as a weapon in your war?”

“No, it’s simply because only you can save the crisis, and don’t you also need to devour more souls?”

This time, Otto was much more respectful.

The giant face sneered:

“You can talk, can’t you? If you can, talk more…”

After saying that, He narrowed his eyes:

“Don’t worry, let’s deal with the city in front of us first, I want to test the bottom of Her Majesty Eve. For the remaining cities, if they fall, we can fight them back, and if the faith has changed, we can force it to change back. With me here, what are you afraid of?”

“If I can use this war to seize the power of the Goddess of Life, I think… I can achieve my goal faster, and your army will become invincible in the entire continent!”

Otto sighed:

“That’s only three years. According to the secret intelligence I got from the Eternal Church, in three years, the whole world will be open, and all the true gods will come. At that time… everything I have done will come to nothing.”

“Three years? That’s enough. When you become a myth, you won’t care about these worldly things. You are not those guys who take shortcuts in believing in the true God!”

The giant face sneered.

“Okay, I’m going to continue to digest the power of those angels. As usual, pay attention to the artifact I gave you. When the battle ferments to the point where the vitality and the power of the dead souls are enough to support my arrival, just call me…”

After saying that, the giant face turned into purple-black mist again and slowly dissipated in the air. The terrifying pressure in the big tent also gradually disappeared…

Only the blood-stained magic circle and King Otto of Red Maple standing next to the magic circle were left.

Otto put away the smile on his face and looked at the magic circle with a trace of inquiry:

“King of Titan…?”

He was silent for a while, then left the big tent and summoned the guards and generals:

“Notify them and prepare to attack the city.”

…

Ogus City, Forzer Fortress.

This castle occupied by players has become a stronghold for stationed players, and the players guarding the city are members of various guilds who voluntarily stayed behind.

Li Mu and others had already left, and Sophia also followed the army to Ze Luolan. The high-level members of the All-Star Guild Alliance who stayed here were in charge of the command, and All-Star Acan was temporarily appointed as the city lord.

Among the 5,000 people, most of them were players of the second public beta.

Among the players who participated in the war, they had less war experience and were prone to overturning in battle, so this kind of city defense mission with a teleportation array and divine defense arranged was the most suitable for them.

This was their first time to participate in a large-scale war mission, and also their first time to participate in a city defense mission, so everyone was quite excited.

Including Ye Ye and Nana who chose to stay.

“Is that the catapult that the human army is building? It turns out that it is really made from local materials… Are they going to attack the city tonight?”

On the tall walls of the castle, Nana looked at the huge army outside the wall with a hint of excitement.

“It’s not as shocking as when our player army went out to fight. It feels like there are fewer people.”

Ye Ye said on the side.

“Hey, there are already quite a few! The guild just went to catch a tongue, and there are probably nearly 30,000 people coming, which is enough for us to fight.”

Beside the two, the person who was fiddling with the bed crossbow smiled.

The bed crossbow was a spare found by the players in the warehouse of the castle that had not been completely destroyed. It was just right for defending the city, and it was also very suitable for archer players to attach skills.

“Will there be high-level professions? What if there are high-level professionals? We don’t seem to have high-level NPCs…”

Looking at the continuous army in the distance, Yeye was a little worried.

“What are you afraid of? There is the goddess’s magic defense barrier, which is useless even if the legendary NPC comes! If it really doesn’t work, don’t we have a teleportation array? Alice, Thranduil, Samir, Rose, and even the big sister, whoever you want to come over, isn’t it just a matter of a word? If the big sister comes, then we will definitely win!”

Facing the wind wiped his face and said.

“Big sister?”

The two newbies were a little curious.

“Hey, you probably haven’t seen him yet. He’s Zero, the God’s Blessed One, an NPC who can summon goddesses.”

“Hiss… a big thigh!”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Several players were chatting casually.

And just as they were chatting, suddenly… a distant horn sounded.

Facing the gust of wind, he was slightly solemn and looked at the Red Maple Kingdom army outside the city.

I saw the countless gray figures suddenly began to move slowly.

“The horn sounded, and the war… is about to begin.”

He clenched his fists and said excitedly.
