A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

"Dream... Nightmare Serpent Dendel?!!!"

Looking at the terrifying giant snake that covered the sky above her head, the dark girl Eilistraee couldn't help but let out an almost piercing scream.

This is obviously not consistent with the image of elegance, beauty, and wildness that she has always maintained.

But this is understandable.

After all, among the many ancient evil creatures and wild gods, there are not many that have the ability to pose a devastating threat to an entire plane or even the crystal wall.

And the nightmare serpent Dendel happens to be one of them.

Its powerful ability to create and devour nightmares is not even immune to the gods.

The black scales formed by countless nightmares can even easily resist most artifacts. Only weapons with an enchantment level of +5 or above can meet the minimum requirement of "breaking defense".

But wanting to kill Dendel with this is absolutely a pipe dream.

According to records and legends, only one weapon in history has ever really hurt it, and that is the famous "Titan Killer" and "Legendary Sword" - Alban O'Nari.

Of course, it is only limited to the word "harm".

Gwydean's so-called victory over Dendel was actually just to break free from the nightmare given by the other party, rather than really causing irreparable damage to the giant snake.

According to the rules set by Dendel himself or some kind of constraints at the beginning of its birth, all those who defeated the nightmare can claim that they have defeated the nightmare snake, and it will admit it.

And even the lie prince Xirik, who has all the priesthood and power of the three gods of death and is at the peak of his power, cannot avoid being affected by the horrible nightmare released by Dendel.

No one or god has ever really posed a fatal threat to the nightmare snake.

Even when the lie prince Xirik fell into madness and even ignored the god of gods Io, he still feared Dendel in his heart and took the initiative to form an alliance with him and feed it with the souls of a large number of gods' believers as food.

So although the nightmare serpent Dendel is known as one of the three ancient evil creatures along with the Chaos Hound Kozef and the Elf Devourer Idiak-Oredil, in fact, it is far superior to the latter in terms of strength and style.

It can even be said that they are not on the same level at all.

Especially the Elf Devourer Idiak-Oredil, who does not have the power to kill gods at all, and is even kept as a pet by gods like the beast god Mara who often makes jokes.

"Did Shar finally do it?"

Zuo Si also raised his head and looked at the giant snake that had already surrounded the sun, but he did not show any tension or panic, but instead showed a disdainful smile.

Indeed, the nightmare serpent Dendel is an ancient evil creature that is enough to make all the gods in the entire crystal wall system feel nervous and fearful, but Toril is protected by the god above gods Io.

He did not believe that the other party swallowed the sun and caused the entire planet to fall into darkness and cold, and the latter would not show up to deal with the aftermath.

After all, even when the goddess of magic was killed and the magic network went out of control, Io came out to clean up the chaotic energy and burning blue flames to avoid causing too much damage and interference to the lives of mortals.

Not to mention the disappearance of the sun, which is much more serious and may lead to the extinction of life on the surface world.

As for the goddess of the night, Shar, although she usually behaves insidiously, cunning and calculating, she is the most crazy one in her bones.

In particular, her pursuit of darkness, nothingness and tranquility has reached a pathological level.

In order to achieve this goal, she doesn't care about any consequences at all.

So in Zuo Si's eyes, the whole thing is not so much a disaster like the end of the world, but rather a farce that is impossible to succeed.

What's more, even if the sun is swallowed, what can it do?

With the strength of the gods of Faerun, it is not difficult to go to the fire elemental plane to obtain pure fire and then ignite a celestial body to create the sun.

Most importantly, the ancient sun god Amaunator has been resurrected.

With his divine power, he can even create a sun out of thin air to maintain the daily operation of the entire planet Toril.

"Shar? The goddess of night! Did she let Dendel enter this world?"

Eilistraee widened her eyes in disbelief.

Zuo Si sneered and asked, "Who else could it be?

You know, the nightmare serpent has always lived in the gray wilderness.

And there are only two ways for it to enter Toril.

One is the Flame Peak in the Chult Jungle, which is guarded by the dinosaur god Ubtao;

The other is the shadow plane that is closely connected to the outer plane.

Obviously, Ubtao would never let Dendel in, because that is one of his duties.

So the only one left is Shar.

It's a very simple process of elimination, isn't it?"

While the two were talking, Dendel had completely wrapped the sun with his huge body and opened his iconic big mouth that swallowed everything.

Just as it was about to eat the sun and turn the whole world into darkness, and then use its ability to plunge all creatures on the ground into an endless nightmare, the star that had been bound suddenly burst into a dazzlingly bright light.

The next second...

Boom! ! ! ! !

The entire sun suddenly exploded like a huge fireball, causing great damage to the black scales of the nightmare snake, and almost blinded its two sickly yellow-black eyeballs, and even its forked tongue was burned black.

"Get out of here! Stay away from the sun of this world!" a majestic voice shouted.

After a while, the ancient sun god Amaunator, who had just been resurrected, appeared in everyone's sight.

At this moment, he had completely absorbed the energy after the sun exploded, and his whole body was emitting amazing light and heat like a star.

Wherever this divine light shone, all the creatures trapped in nightmares woke up and got rid of Dendel's influence.

It must be said that Amaunator's action at this critical moment brought him great prestige, as well as worship and gratitude from mortals.

At least at this moment, everyone was calling his name, hoping that he could defeat this terrible ancient evil, so that light and warmth would always shine on the continent of Faerun and even the planet of Toril.

"Look, the real show is about to begin."

Zuo Si's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement, and he had obviously expected such a result.

After all, Amaunator is the sun god, with a complete sun priesthood, and has experienced the decline of the Netheril era, so he knows better than any other god the disastrous consequences of ignoring the strong desire of mortals.

If he does not stand up to stop Dendel at this time, then people's faith and worship of the sun and the sun god will quickly disappear, and they will turn to believe in other gods who can provide them with help and protection.

So whether willing or not, the ancient sun god cannot stand idly by, but must stand up to protect the sun in the crystal wall system.

This is both a responsibility and an obligation, and there is no way to avoid it.

Hissing--

The nightmare giant snake stared at the sun god and made a creepy sound, which immediately made the creatures on the entire Toril planet feel strong fear involuntarily.

There is no doubt that this is a large-scale spell-like effect, and it is also a proof that it is stronger than the other two ancient evils.

Because Dendel's every move does not affect a few people around or a small area, but affects all creatures in the world.

After more than ten seconds, the huge venomous snake opened its mouth and asked in a low and hoarse voice: "Amaunator? Aren't you dead?"

"Didn't Shar tell you that I was resurrected not long ago?"

The ancient sun god asked expressionlessly with golden flames burning all over his body.

As a very ancient god, he certainly couldn't be unaware of the goddess of night's long-standing wishes.

What's more, he has an unclear relationship with the ancient god of death, Jaeger.

You know, Jaeger has been interested in this goddess full of darkness, mystery and evil for a long time.

"So you want to stop me from swallowing the sun?"

Dendel spit out his tongue and made a strange sound, which was a bit like mocking and a bit like threatening.

As a sign of the end of the world, the gods and the entire country and the end of all things, a mere resurrected powerful divine power is far from enough to make it feel afraid.

Because it was born more ancient than the gods, perhaps only the twin goddesses of light and darkness of creation can be compared with it, and the power it possesses is also more powerful.

"No, not just me, you have to face all the members of the Pantheon. Look, they are here."

Accompanied by Amaunator's righteous voice, several rays of light began to shine in the endless deep space of the universe, and then more than 20 powerful and medium-level gods appeared in front of the nightmare serpent fully armed.

The reason for this scene is that they happened to have just watched the battle between Zosi and Gruumsh in the Pantheon and had not had time to end it.

And the nightmare serpent Dendel's behavior of swallowing the sun seriously violated the interests of all gods.

After all, Toril is not just a chessboard for the game, but also the basic foundation of the beliefs and existence of many gods who only exist in the crystal wall system.

This is why Zosi never regarded Shar as a threat that must be eradicated.

From the beginning, she has been hostile to all gods except herself, even the god of gods, Io.

"Dendel! Go back to your gray wasteland! This is not a place where you can do whatever you want!"

The guardian god Heim took the lead in drawing the weapon he carried with him.

As the coldest, most ruthless and duty-conscious god among all the gods, he obviously couldn't stand the nightmare serpent sneaking in under his nose, and almost swallowed the sun, plunging the entire mortal world into darkness and cold.

"Leave! Or go to war!"

The god of war Tempus expressed his attitude in the shortest language.

"No matter how powerful the evil is, justice will never be absent."

Tyr also drew his sword resolutely, showing a posture of fighting to the death.

As the god who best represents "justice" and "fairness" on the entire planet Toril, no one would doubt his determination when he said this.

Although in front of Dendel, the gods looked so small, just like a group of ants shining with light.

But their powerful momentum made the nightmare serpent involuntarily start to retreat and curl up.

After all, no matter what, the gods are also the creatures at the top of the pyramid of power in this universe, and they are the embodiment of the thoughts, beliefs and spirits of hundreds of millions of mortals gathered together.

Maybe you can question their teachings and despise their stubbornness, stupidity and inflexibility, but you can never deny their powerful power.

There is no doubt that Dendel never expected in his dreams that he had just arrived at the crystal wall where the planet Toril was located through the shadow plane. He didn't even have time to swallow the sun, but he was immediately surrounded by a group of gods, three levels inside and three outside. He was about to be beaten by a group of people.

Realizing that the situation was not good, it immediately asked the huge black shadow behind it: "Shar!!! I think you owe me an explanation! What is going on? The plan we discussed before is not like this! "

The words have not yet been spoken!

The black shadow suddenly transformed into a beautiful female figure wearing black gauze, and retorted with an unhappy look: "You still have the nerve to question me? You had such a good opportunity just now, but you couldn't swallow the sun in time, but instead The energy of the sun was absorbed by Amaunata. It’s just a waste!”

"What? How dare you call me a loser?"

Dendel instantly opened his bloody mouth angrily, revealing the venomous fangs inside.

"Am I wrong? If you had acted more decisively, the entire country would have been plunged into darkness."

Shar was obviously very angry, and his eyes revealed a strong resentment that could not be described in words.

Just a little bit, she could once again feel the darkness and tranquility in the crystal wall before the sun appeared.

But now with the arrival of the gods everything is too late.

"But you didn't tell me that the ancient sun god Amaunata was resurrected!

He controls the sun!

Let the sun explode from the inside like a giant fireball and burn my scales!

The most important thing is that it absorbs the energy of the sun!

Now what I need to devour is no longer as simple as a star, but to defeat a powerful divine power!

It's all your fault!

It's you who didn't tell me any more information! "

Dendel was undoubtedly enraged and spattered a highly corrosive and poisonous liquid from his bloody mouth.

You must know that in many myths and legends, the nightmare snake is female, and is even called a lady, so it is no worse than the goddess of the night in terms of being unreasonable and willful.

When two equally selfish, willful, and unreasonable women come together and start blaming each other, it's obvious what will happen.

In just a few words, the verbal argument escalated into a collision between divine and quasi-divine powers.

boom! ! ! ! !

When Shar's magic hit Dendel's scales, the expressions of all the gods present changed, and they all retreated as quickly as possible beyond the reach of the explosion.

In a blink of an eye!

This huge scale exploded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It deformed, twisted, and stretched into a fully formed nightmare.

The nightmare emitted light like a ghost, wandering in the air, and finally descended on the goddess of the night. It merged into Shar's mind and continued to extend deeper, until it was pulled into the most terrifying dream.

There is no doubt that this is the origin of the name of the Nightmare Serpent, and it is also the reason why the gods fear it.

Because even gods are not immune to this kind of terrible nightmare. Instead, they have to face the most real and fearful thing in their subconscious, and then completely defeat it.

Otherwise, you may be trapped in an endless nightmare for the rest of your life, or you may be swallowed by Dendel and slowly digested.

This is why the gods of Faerun clearly have an overwhelming advantage in strength and numbers, but they do not want to expel them by force, but prefer that the other side leave on their own.

Not every god is confident that he can escape 100% when facing his most fearful nightmare.

Therefore, the biggest difference between Dendel and other ancient evil creatures lies in its unique ability.

Not only that!

It is said that this terrifying giant snake can also foretell the end of the world, the universe, and everything, including the gods, by constantly swallowing all kinds of nightmares.

When it dreams of this moment, it will gain the power to devour everything and drag the entire world into the nightmare it creates.

No one knows what Shar saw in her nightmares, let alone the most terrifying nightmare in her heart.

The only thing that is known is that when the goddess regained consciousness, her whole body shivered involuntarily, and then she no longer continued to attack, but quickly opened a safe distance and stared at Dandel with nervous eyes.

No need to ask, she knew that the fleeting nightmare just now left a considerable psychological shadow on her.

Although the nightmare caused by broken scales is far less deadly to gods than mortals, it is also not easy.

What's more, this passively formed nightmare is not the most terrifying nightmare that Dendel can create.

What's truly terrifying is that it actively spits out the most horrific nightmare in a specific target's life.

This kind of nightmare attacks the origin of living things and drags them into their weakest and most helpless state.

Dendel undoubtedly noticed that the many gods in front of him were afraid of him, and he immediately let out a naked and undisguised ridicule: "Hahahaha! You are afraid of me, right? You don't want to and don't dare to fight me! Because you are afraid of what I weave. Nightmare! The most extreme fear that my will can’t bear!”

As the last word came out, the giant snake suddenly stretched its body, looking down at all the gods present with a proud posture, with contempt and disdain in its eyes.

Its huge shadow, illuminated by the glory of the ancient sun god Amaunator, was projected over the sky of the continent of Faerun on the planet Toril, and the whole sky suddenly turned into a desperate polar night.

Only those bright spots shining with the glory of the gods could give some comfort to the panicked mortals.

"In the name of the Pantheon! I now order you to leave immediately!"

The goddess of magic, Midnight, first glared at Shar fiercely, and then decisively summoned the energy of the magic net to form a terrifying silver fireball aimed at Dendel.

As the most powerful god in the entire kingdom of the Sky Crystal Wall, second only to the God of Gods, Io, if even she retreated at this time, then the nightmare giant snake would no longer take the warnings of the gods seriously.

"Leave? Why do you want me to leave? You know, I was invited by one of you this time."

The Nightmare Serpent was obviously very afraid of the power of Silver Fire, but he still had no intention of giving in.

Because this guy was testing the reaction of the gods, testing whether the other party really had the courage to go to war with him.

You know, it is immortal, even if it is killed, it will only disappear for 24 hours at most.

Once 24 hours have passed, Dendel will be reborn in the gray wasteland unscathed.

In addition, all residents in the country will remember every nightmare they had that night and all the details of the nightmare for the rest of their lives.

Even babies who have just been born and have not yet developed self-awareness are no exception.

Many people with weak spirits and willpower will even choose to commit suicide because they cannot endure such fear and torture.

Usually, unless it is absolutely necessary, no one is willing to kill the Nightmare Serpent on their own territory.

"Sha'er!!!"

Midnight turned around and cast his eyes on the goddess of night, with undisguised anger on his face.

Not only her, but other gods on the battlefield also reacted in a similar way, even those in the evil camp were no exception.

After all, any god who does not have a tendency to destroy the world would not agree with such an act of turning the table over just because he doesn't want to play anymore.

So Shar achieved the same achievement as Xirik in one fell swoop, that is, becoming the enemy of the gods.

Fortunately, the goddess of night did not go crazy. She understood her current situation and did not try to quibble or refute anything. She just covered her face with a black veil and said nothing.

After all, at this time, no matter what you say, it is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. It is better to shut up honestly.

And she knew very well that because Dendel failed to devour the sun in the first time, all the previous plans and preparations have now failed.

What's more annoying is that even Zuo Si did not show up in the first time to fight the nightmare serpent as he wished, but did not show up from beginning to end, as if he didn't care at all.

You must know that in Shar's eyes, Zuo Si's character has always been insidious, cunning, and vindictive.

This means that as long as the West Coast Empire is threatened, it is likely to react very violently, just like this time when the entire Orc God system was completely destroyed and shattered.

She hoped that Dendel would fight with Zuo Si again when he swallowed the sun to bring the long-awaited darkness, tranquility and nothingness. It would be even better if he could make a mortal enemy again.

That's why Shar didn't tell Dendel about what happened in the Kingdom Tianyu Crystal Wall recently. It's obvious that she wanted to pit the snake.

After all, among her many titles, there is a "Dark Betrayer". This kind of "one snake eats many" method is not too common.

It's just that she underestimated the power and courage of the ancient sun god Amaunator who had just resurrected.

Most importantly, Shar didn't understand and didn't understand the real thoughts in Zuo Si's mind.

For Zuo Si, the West Coast Empire is just a tool to achieve certain goals, not the goal itself.

It's like war is the continuation of politics rather than politics itself.

If he could get this wrong, he would not have everything he has now.

But Shar obviously did not realize this, thinking that the nightmare giant snake Dendel would definitely have a confrontation and conflict with Zuo Si after his arrival.

Little did he know that Zuo Si would not be the first to take action in such a world-destroying disaster.

Anyway, there are so many gods with extremely high moral standards and sense of responsibility in this world, and there is also a god-on-god Io who can clean up all the messes.

Wouldn't it be better to just leave it to them to deal with it?

Anyway, there are tall people to hold up the sky when it falls. As a planeswalker, Zuo Si can leave if he wants to, and he will not die if he leaves this world.

This huge misjudgment of character and psychology made all the arrangements made by Shar completely ineffective.

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, Zuo Si, who had been watching the show on the ground for a long time, finally came to outer space with Iristri and proposed to the two parties in the tense confrontation: "Ahem - everyone, since you don't want to start a war, why not listen to my solution?"

"You?"

Dendel narrowed his eyes and stared at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him, and soon showed a hint of surprise.

"Ah! I recognize you, Soth, the lord of the ninth layer of Baator Hell, the devil prince, and the self-proclaimed planeswalker."

"Haha, it's my honor to be remembered by the great nightmare serpent."

Zuo Si bowed gracefully, with a polite and hypocritical smile on his face, which didn't seem to be hostile at all.

This undoubtedly made Shar's face look very ugly.

Because this was not what she imagined.

Especially the expression on Zuo Si's face, which made the goddess of night feel playful, mocking and sarcastic.

"You are just as good at disguise, deception and shameless as Asmodeus. You are worthy of being valued by him. You are simply a born devil." Dendel commented in a playful tone.

Zuo Si smiled and asked proudly, "Can I take this as a compliment?"

The Nightmare Snake nodded without hesitation: "Of course! This is the highest affirmation of you.

But I am very curious. You obviously have the ability to travel through different time and space and even the universe. Why do you come out at this time?

Wouldn't it be better to wait until we are both defeated and the world is broken into pieces before coming out to clean up the mess?

Especially Shar, if things get out of control, she will definitely pay a heavy price for her actions.

If I remember correctly, you should be enemies."

Zuo Si responded meaningfully: "All choices that seem to maximize benefits actually have many invisible hidden dangers.

Satisfying one's greed by damaging the interests of others will inevitably lead to resentment and hostility.

I don't want to be the target of public criticism.

What's more, I am also a part of this world, a chess player sitting at the table playing games, and naturally I have the obligation to protect it from the outside world. The invasion of the power of the whole world.

It's like the relationship between power and obligation.

And now is the time to fulfill the obligation.

So I sincerely suggest that you accept my mediation, which will benefit everyone.

Otherwise, I will become your enemy. "

Hearing this, Dendel's eyes immediately became dangerous, shaking the huge snake head that covered the sky and sun and drooped slightly: "Are you threatening me?"

"No, I'm just helping everyone avoid this unnecessary stalemate.

And you have to understand that as a planeswalker, I can't do anything to you like the gods.

As long as I am willing to pay enough, I can even permanently erase you from this universe.

What, do you want to try?

Or do you think I will be as timid as the gods, afraid of causing irreparable damage to the world and dare not go to war? "

Zuo Si raised his head and stared at the huge eyes of the nightmare snake that were glowing with a faint light. The originally polite and hypocritical smile soon revealed a creepy madness.

Because he knew very well that when negotiating with such an ancient evil, there must be no concession, compromise, or weakness, otherwise the other party would immediately push forward.

The only correct way to deal with it is that if it is evil, you are more evil than it, if it is crazy, you are more crazy than it, and then form pressure and deterrence.

Dendel obviously did not expect that Zuo Si, who was still smiling in the last second, would turn his face and behave so aggressively in the next second.

In particular, the madness revealed in his eyes is not a bluff, but may be put into actual action at any time.

Considering the various legends about the abilities of the planeswalkers and the advanced technology displayed in the huge cyberpunk city on the ninth level of Baator Hell, it would be a lie to say that it is not afraid at all.

After all, it is an indisputable fact that the Chaos Hound Kozef was subdued by Zuo Si and turned into a pet dog.

The Nightmare Serpent does not want to end up like that.

So after hesitating for a moment, Dendel took the initiative to put away his previous attacking posture and deliberately put on a noncommittal look: "Please tell me your suggestions, I'm listening."

"Thank you very much for your understanding and consideration.

You know, there are many unnecessary wars in this world caused by communication problems or misunderstandings.

I'm glad that we both understand what each other wants to express.

Otherwise, it would be the greatest misfortune.

Please rest assured that my proposal is actually very simple and fair.

Since you were invited by the goddess of night, Shar, to come to the crystal wall where the planet Toril is located through the shadow plane, why not let her use the souls of her believers as compensation?

In exchange, you must leave this world immediately."

Zuo Si calmly offered a condition that the nightmare giant snake could accept.

Although this guy used to feed on nightmares, he fed it too many souls of petitioners and believers during the reign of Xirik, and even caused his body to swell to the point that he could hardly leave the nest.

So from then on, Dendel fell in love with tasting the souls of the gods' believers.

But before the giant snake could reply, Shar roared in anger: "No!!!!!! How dare you? I absolutely do not agree!"

"Sorry, respected goddess of night, I am afraid this matter is not up to you.

To be precise, you may need to make a choice between sacrificing your believers and sacrificing your freedom.

Due to the serious crimes you have committed against the entire crystal wall, I suggest that a tribunal be formed by powerful gods to sentence you to a sentence of at least hundreds of years and at most thousands of years.

During this period, you will be completely sealed and unable to make any contact with your believers.

What do you think, do you want this result?

Or are you more willing to accept the previous conditions?

Don't tell me you refuse any punishment.

Even if I agree, the other gods present will not agree. "

When saying these words, Zuo Si's strong tone left no room for negotiation.

You must know that he is not a good gentleman, and he will not show mercy just because his son Gretel maintains a close relationship with Shar. Instead, he will take this opportunity to severely weaken the other party's influence.

"I think this plan is fair."

Tyr, the god of justice, was the first to stand up and express his support.

After all, he would never object to anything involving law and justice, not to mention that it was indeed an unforgivable crime to secretly open the back door to the nightmare snake Dendel.

"I agree!"

The ancient sun god Amaunata also stood up.

As the god in charge of law, contract, and order, he was obviously very angry with Shar's actions and wished he could seal her away forever until she was forgotten by all mortals.

"Count me in!"

"And I!"

"The Goddess of Night has offended the interests of the gods this time and must be punished as she deserves!"

…

With the goddess of magic Midnight, the god of death Klanvor, the god of love and beauty Suna, the god of war Tempus, the goddess of natural circulation Talona, ​​the goddess of wealth Wojin and many other powerful powers expressing their opinions, Shar finally began to realize the problem. severity.

You must know that the Powerful Council of Divine Powers is the highest authority institution in Faerûn after the god Io.

Any resolution passed by this parliament with an overwhelming vote would be difficult for even a powerful divine force to resist.

"Wait! I agreed to the previous conditions and handed over some petitioners to Dendel to devour as food."

As perhaps the most selfish goddess, Shar obviously did not want her freedom to be restricted, so she decisively threw away the souls of believers as bargaining chips.

This is the saddest ending for mortals to believe in evil gods.

If it were a god from the good or neutral camp, he would rather be sealed than sacrifice the believer's soul at this time.

"Awesome! It seems that the biggest problem has been solved, isn't it? Please give your answer next, the great nightmare snake."

With that said, Zuo Si once again turned his attention back to the ancient evil objects that were close at hand, especially the scales formed by the embodiment of nightmares.

He could clearly feel that Dendel's abilities had many similarities with the planeswalker he killed - the Nightmare King Ashiok.

I just don’t know who’s ability will be more powerful in the end.

Of course, since Ashiok is dead, this question may never be answered.

After all, Zuo Si can't be so full that he can take back the planeswalker spark that was given to the Prince of Darkness, and then press it into the body of the nightmare snake to create an even more terrifying monster, right?

"Okay, I agree."

Dandel agreed decisively after pretending to be reserved.

It also understands that this is the best result it can get at the moment.

After all, the gods have arrived, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve the goal of swallowing the sun. It is better to get some benefits from Shar.

You must know that this insidious and cunning goddess has clearly used it as a weapon. It is definitely impossible to say that she is not resentful.

"So...we have reached an agreement? In that case, let's sign an agreement as a guarantee."

As these words blurted out, Zuo Si took out a devil's contract from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

This skillful movement instantly made everyone present, including the Nightmare Snake and the gods, twitch the corners of their mouths uncontrollably.

But it is undeniable that this contract can indeed relax the nerves of both parties who originally distrusted each other.

According to the tradition of Baator Hell, whoever is a witness to the contract is responsible for ensuring that all the terms above are fulfilled one by one.

As for whether it will bring greater influence to Baator Hell and the Devil, or even be displayed in a museum in the huge cyberpunk city on the ninth level as a means of publicity, that is not what the gods need to consider now. problem.

In this way, under Zuo Si's urging, the gods and Dendel signed their names on it.

Soon, the contract turned into the fire of purgatory and burned.

The Nightmare Serpent, who probably didn't like nonsense, walked directly through the opened portal, rushed into Shar's kingdom in the shadow plane and feasted, swallowing millions of souls in one gulp, and then returned to the gray wilderness with satisfaction.

At this point, this farce and crisis has finally been completely resolved.

Shar, who has lost everything by stealing chicken, will face the interrogation from the powerful divine council next. It is estimated that he will not have time to jump out and cause trouble in a short time.

Amaunata directly transformed her incarnation, which had absorbed astonishing energy, into a blazing sun, continuing to bring light and heat to the planet Toril.

Countless people took to the streets to start carnival, and positioned this day as the new Sun Festival to commemorate the ancient sun god who was the first to stand up against Dendel at the critical moment.

As for Lathander, who committed suicide and killed himself, people gradually forgot about this incident.

Other gods also gained more and more devout worship from mortals because they appeared to protect the world and their believers.

Especially after experiencing terrible nightmares, ordinary people long for God's protection and spiritual comfort more than ever.

As a mediator and the one who really drove Dendel away, Zuo Si's prestige in the West Coast Empire and even the entire Faerun continent has been unprecedentedly strengthened, and even a large number of followers and admirers have emerged.

Even the old-fashioned Candlekeep scholars began to create a unique word for him as a title to distinguish him from other kings and emperors in history.

Anyway, except for the goddess of the night, Shar, who was behind the scenes, everyone benefited from it.

It has to be said that this result is really full of irony and black humor.

The civilians singing and dancing in the streets to celebrate the Sun Festival, and the dense crowds kneeling in front of the statue in the Temple of Amaunator to pray, are simply like the biggest mockery of this goddess who likes to engage in conspiracy and intrigue.
