Chapter 555: Prelude to Destruction
Updated: 2012-11-08
No one can imagine that in the deep underground of the Asano Continent, a world deeper than the underground world, a world where people in the eyes of the world, and even players only have magma, destruction and death, there will be such a miracle...
The gray sky, without a trace of sunlight, is full of unknown rocks and crystal minerals everywhere, but the most of them are the extremely hard black rocks formed by cooling the magma.
But in the desolate world without any vitality, a grand miracle is standing proudly...
On the rare plain in hell, from a distance, a huge circle carved deep marks on the hard earth like an insatiable mouth. The outer edge of the circle was a black guard wall dozens of meters high. There were enough carriages on the guard wall to move forward side by side, and countless demons of different appearances were constantly patrolling.
Inside the guardrail, twelve standard areas are divided into standard twelve areas, each area has the area of a small town. In addition to a large number of buildings and engineering equipment, there are large pits. The pits are dug very deep. Just looking at the color that illuminates the sky blood red, you can tell that the magma layer has been dug.
The center of the entire city (let’s be considered a city) is a huge tower, but how high is this tower? Just placed in an empty plain, you may not be able to see, but when you can see that those buildings more than ten meters high are not even conspicuous under the tower, you can understand that it should be the grandeur of what it should be.
But it is worth mentioning that although it is a "tower", it should actually be considered a building complex. The entire building is mainly in the octave style. It is built up along a straight blood-red mountain. The materials used are also red rocks. From a distance, there is no difference from the tower. Players in hell usually like to call it - Red Tower.
Some people say that the whole city looks like a tiled clock from a distance, but lacks pointers. Some people say that the city is like an oriental sundial, so the owner of this city, a man with a very bad personality, gave it a very unpolite and loud name - Shicheng.
"Come on! Roar! You idiots who only have magma in their minds! Roar!"
Although there is no sunshine, every corner of the city is reddened by the uncooled lava and the flames from the ground. In such a huge city, there are busy demons everywhere. Most of them are low-level horned demons, mad demons, demon babies, etc., but high-level demons are not rare, and there is no need to say more about players, but the city's appearance and life are far from the surface world.
On the streets, there were no hawkers, no pedestrians chatting, only the sound of scolding like wolves and the sound of whips that had almost never stopped.
"Gulu, Gulu~"
There are also high-level demons with tall figures, ferocious faces and knotty muscles everywhere, waving the whip in their hands to drive away groups of low-level demons to transport and work.
There are no shops, no entertainment, no scenery, no freedom, only a large number of forging factories, smelters, tool workshops, magic workshops, and the entire city is completely a huge factory, barracks, and machines, and the demons are running like screws.
Those who are not familiar with hell may be shocked by this, but those who are familiar with hell will definitely be afraid of it.
Because in hell, chaos is the dominant force, and it is difficult to maintain even a little order in hell. Even those demon lords with all their hands and eyes are powerless.
On the one hand, the intelligence of low-level demons is too low, and at the same time, the influence of the power of chaos makes their daily behavior always full of variables. Maybe a demon baby was just moving bricks, but turned his head and ran to fight in the next second, and couldn't even control the whip of the construction engineer. On the other hand, demons have no so-called superiors and subordinates. The only thing worthy of respect in hell is power. There will never be an example of a powerful knight who is loyal to an aging king like human society. Demons can only serve their loyalty to power and authority. Therefore, the superiors and subordinates are always full of tension and suspicion. The superiors should be careful to beware of their subordinates, and subordinates should be careful to defeat their superiors. Deficiency means death.
But in this city, everything is so orderly, there is no wanton fight on the streets, the low-level demons are very "focused" on their work, and the middle- and high-level demons seem to be conscientious and responsible. Everyone seems to know what they are going to do. Although they have no vitality, they unexpectedly have a high degree of order that most demon cities do not have.
Now, this city that has expanded to its extreme is ready to go, waiting for its owner at any time to devote it to an unprecedented glory...
"Lord! Look, this is a rune gun made according to your requirements!"
At six o'clock in the city, outside a huge magic workshop in the area of the city, there were already barbarian demon guards with distinct armor and heights. Although the inside of the workshop that was originally very busy was still similar to usual, the short and smart little monster craftsmen all looked excited because their owner, the fat man wearing a white windbreaker, with a big belly, and a very strange and hateful smile on his face, looked similar to a human, was patrolling the workshop.
"Oh? Let's take a look."
After taking a dark weapon handed over by the old magician in the workshop, Ward then skillfully picked up the gun and pointed it at a small iron pot hanging above the workshop.
Bang!
The moment the trigger was pulled, the runes on the gun flashed suddenly, and then the iron pot broke into pieces as a stream of light passed by.
"Yes, the power has reached the standard, how about the range and rate of fire?"
"Without wind interference, the effective range is about 100 meters. If used by a skilled soldier, the rate of fire theory can reach three rounds per minute."
"Yeah, very good."
After sending the gun back to the old demon sergeant, Ward suddenly moved his finger gently, and a tall evil demon behind him put a large bag of flour in front of the old demon sergeant.
"Lord! This..."
"This is what you deserve, and if you do well, you should be rewarded."
"Thank you, Lord! I respectfully send you to Lord!"
While peeking at the flour happily, he kowtowed hard. When the old magician got up, Ward had already left the workshop. (Hell is not short of money or gold, but the general living supplies are extremely poor, especially food from the surface world, which is the most standard currency in hell)
"Lord, the man is here."
Not long after Ward walked out of the workshop, he saw a [Surveyer] who was wearing a demon in his upper body and a wolf in his lower body, and was covered in hot flames.
"Oh? It's quite fast, I'll take him to the No. 12 Smelter in a while."
"yes!"
After leisurely patrolling the ground for a while, Ward led his men to a huge crane and slowly penetrated into a huge lava pit.
“Lord!”
In the center of the lava pit, there is naturally a magma that is so hot that it is suffocating, but even in such a terrible environment, the demons still built huge industrial assembly lines.
The crisscrossing walkways are densely spread above the magma. A large number of furnaces are hung on the surrounding rock walls by thick chains. Truces of minerals slide into the furnace along the track and turn into high-temperature molten iron in a short time. Then, after a series of rolling, cutting, forging and cooling, pieces of finished raw materials are formed, and these raw materials will be sent to the forging factory as soon as possible for the second melting and casting.
This series of high-speed processes requires a lot of manpower, and those low-level demons with developed physical strength and lack of intelligence are naturally the best resources. They either work in their own positions in an orderly manner or walk in various positions busy. Although there are strict supervisors on the side, their performance can at least be considered qualified workers.
"Master!Master! This is the latest high-strength alloy we have made!"
As if a gift was offered, a wild demon supervisor bumped into a piece of metal filled with light coming to Ward.
“Well…what is the main material?”
As soon as he bought this piece of metal, a coldness that was not hell spread throughout Ward's body instantly, which aroused his great interest.
"Mainly... Allius silver, Bente stone, flame gold crystal... well..."
The memory of the mandemon has always been a flaw. Seeing the four-meter-high supervisor of Yu Mandemon flipping through a small booklet with a look of distress, Ward didn't say anything, but just smiled slightly and took the booklet handed over by another demon slayer.
"It's very light, very strong, and has quite magic resistance, but it requires eleven raw materials, one of which comes from the ground...it's probably difficult to mass produce."
"Lord, the man has arrived."
Just as Ward shook his head slightly as he looked at the data on the booklet, the hunter came to him again, but this time he also brought someone, someone who should never appear in hell.
"Ah, here we come ~ our Apocalypse Knight."
After signaling that the hunter could leave, Ward's face once again had that iconic weird smile, and at the same time he stretched out his hands to hug the scarred red figure in front of him.
"Sir, I've brought the stuff."
He lowered his head slightly, and this visitor from afar was one of the Apocalypse Knights of the Church, War!
However, he is in a bad condition now. Not only is he covered in scars, but his left arm is cut and cut off.
"Oh, Mr. War seems to have suffered a lot. The church's pursuit along the way must be crazy, right? I can imagine that the terrible expression on their faces, hahaha!"
Seeing that the other party seemed to be a little wary of him, Ward laughed a few times and withdrew his arm.
"Don't worry, I will not only restore your body to its original state, but also make you stronger than before, so powerful that you can't imagine."
"Yes, sir."
Seeing that the other party was still hesitant and hesitant, Ward didn't say much and began to lead him around...
Gradually, as time goes by, the hesitation and hesitation in the war gradually faded and was replaced by shock and fear.
He saw that countless furnaces and countless demons were producing huge amounts of raw materials every minute and every second, even exceeding the total productivity of the entire human world! As the Apocalypse Knight of the church, war naturally understands the ability of many people to the human world.
He saw that the huge factories that were comparable to the magic line produced countless weapons, tools, and even machinery in just one minute. He didn't understand when the demon had these technologies, but he knew very well that the most disadvantage of the demon when he was against the Yashan World was equipment and technology, but now...
He saw countless powerful, weird, and unique demons pulled out from a place called the [Hatching Furnace] and quickly armed it. This obviously means that the crazy guy has begun to artificially cultivate demons, or biological weapons, and has begun to mass-made them. Once upon a time, the Yashan World used this method to create orcs and drove the demons back to hell.
He saw that all the demon lords of hell began to come to this city to pay homage to their masters. They were all subjugated and hell had been unified!
Finally, when Ward finished his inspection and took him to the top of the tower and looked down at the entire huge city, in war, this former church knight fell to his knees at the other party's feet in conscience, and held the white seal in both hands...
Because, only destruction was left in his eyes, he no longer believed that Yashan would have hope.
"Hahaha...hahaha! We have been waiting for too long, and this new force is finally about to rise to the world."
Slowly pinched the last key that opened the door of hell, Ward's face was left with a crazy smile, and endless flames burned in his eyes, as if he had seen the earth burning in front of him and life withering in front of him.
He, and the other one, have longed for war for a long time.
"But before that, we will meet you, the old senior...Caberus, Your Majesty."
He suddenly raised his head and looked at a giant red eye that suddenly appeared in the sky. The smile on Ward's face did not diminish at all.
Chapter completed!
