MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 616 - 104: The Netherworld Without a Root (17)
Chapter 616: Chapter 104: The Netherworld Without a Root (17)
The Netherworld God’s intention to kill remained unchanged, and Salron dared not defy her orders, so he had no choice but to bring Danni to the underground prison located thousands of miles west of the Netherworld Royal City.
"There are many mechanisms here, little girl, so you’d better be careful. If anything goes wrong, I can’t explain it to the Netherworld God," Salron said, his face wearing a cold smile as he opened the gate to the prison.
A stench of decay and blood, accompanied by the agonized wails of the tortured, assaulted her senses. Danni could hardly imagine what Lu Hong might be experiencing inside, and she rushed to ask Salron, "Where is he? Take me to see him!"
"Don’t worry, I’m taking you there now," Salron said, turning to enter the prison.
Danni followed closely behind him, and after about half an hour, they arrived at a cell.
Salron activated his magic power to open the cell door and pointed inside the dark room, "Your man is in there, go ahead."
Danni was not afraid of Salron harming her, so she went in.
As soon as she was detected, the candles inside the cell automatically lit up, shining on the wrecked and shattered body of Lu Hong.
"Tukulu!"
Although Lu Hong had already been tortured beyond recognition, Danni recognized him instantly.
Seeing her beloved man being tortured in such a way, Danni immediately burst into tears, throwing herself onto Lu Hong.
"Got the right person, right?" Salron followed her in, chuckling to Danni, "I advise you not to touch him. He can’t withstand any shaking. He’ll fall apart, hahaha!"
"Why are you doing this to him!" Danni glared at Salron, wishing she could kill him.
Salron grinned and said, "It was this little brat that messed up my plans. Not killing him directly was already the greatest kindness I could show."
Danni ignored Salron and raised her hand to remove Lu Hong from the torture rack, but as soon as she touched the torture device, she was repelled by a divine power, stumbling backward.
"Release him!" Danni bellowed.
"Little girl, the Netherworld God only asked me to bring you to see him, she never said to let him go," Salron said, getting up to leave. "I’ll give you ten minutes. After ten minutes, the cell door will close automatically. If you can’t get out, don’t blame me."
As Salron walked away, Danni again threw herself beside Lu Hong, tirelessly pouring out the magic potions she had to treat his injuries, but it seemed Lu Hong’s body, likely due to a spell cast by Salron, could not be healed with any magic potion.
Furthermore, no matter how much Danni called him, there was no sign of Lu Hong regaining consciousness.
Ten minutes passed too quickly, and feeling she couldn’t accomplish anything in that time, Danni prepared to leave.
Yes, she couldn’t be trapped here. She must get out. The entire Star Sea was looking for Lu Hong. She had to get the news out. Only then could she save him!
Danni took out a magic video recording, her voice filled with tears as she recorded everything within the cell: "Before your eyes is the Sacred Empire’s God of Might Duke Tukulu, I beg you, can you please save him!"
"I beg you, can you please save him!"
Konstantin watched the transmitted video, clenching his fists tightly.
Upon the imperial court, every imperial official had tears streaming down their faces, eyes red with fury, as if they were ready to devour someone.
"Your Majesty!" The advisor knelt on the ground, his head hitting the floor so hard that blood began to flow, "Please save the Duke!"
"Please save the Duke!"
"Please save the Duke!"
"Please save the Duke!"
...
Konstantin took a deep breath, "A blood debt must be paid in blood!"
...
An urgent document was delivered into the hands of Eferot, the regent of the Beastman Empire. Opening the letter, a magic video recording rolled out.
"I beg you, can you please save him!"
After watching the few seconds of the recording, Eferot finally understood why he had only received four blood-written characters from Tai’e, "A blood debt must be paid in blood!"
No matter what, Lu Hong was Tai’e’s son, his brother!
Eferot took a deep breath, "All organized troops of the Empire are to move out immediately, to the Netherworld Royal City!"
Upon receiving the news, both the Snowy Region and the Eagle Empire did not hesitate for a moment and immediately responded to the call, their armies stirring into action.
And the last image was delivered into the hands of the Ancestor Dragon by the Great Bright Heavenly God.
Looking at Lu Hong, tortured beyond human recognition, the Ancestor Dragon felt a surge of rage in his chest, threatening to ignite him completely.
"Netherworld God! Damned! She must die!" The Ancestor Dragon’s roar shook heaven and earth, but he was still bound by chains, unable to break free.
"Great Bright! I don’t care how you do it, but I need to get out, I must personally seek revenge for my brother! Revenge!"
The Ancestor Dragon’s howl and struggle made the entire snowy mountain tremble and almost shatter.
"Calm down," the Great Bright hastily consoled the Ancestor Dragon. This year, he had made countless attempts to break the chains, but to no avail. Now, there was only one method left.
"Listen to me, I can help you temporarily escape the bondage of the chains, but this method will cause you great harm afterwards. It will take at least a thousand years before you can recover."
"I don’t care. As long as it allows me to save my brother, I am willing to pay any price!" The Ancestor Dragon was resolute and readily agreed.
"Good!" The Great Bright no longer hesitated and immediately used his skill. Utilizing the pure Holy Light, he created a Divine Power avatar that fastened itself onto the Ancestor Dragon. As the Ancestor Dragon’s body shrank, the chains were meant to shrink with it, but the Divine Power avatar obstructed the process, keeping the chains restrained.
The shrunken Ancestor Dragon instantly broke free from control, gaining brief liberty.
"Am I free?!" Happiness came so suddenly that the Ancestor Dragon could hardly believe it.
"Only temporarily," the Great Bright said, pointing at a transparent chain on the Ancestor Dragon’s tail. "These chains are too miraculous, they’ve even locked your Divine Soul. Remember, you only have three months. Once the time is up, the chain will forcibly drag back your Divine Soul. If your true body has not returned, you will suffer from a soul-body separation. Your true form is too massive for the Continent of God’s Grace to bear, and your exposed soul will gradually disperse, leading to your complete death."
"Three months is enough!" The Ancestor Dragon understood the severity and nodded. Then he flapped his wings and suddenly flew high into the sky, vanishing in front of the Great Bright.
In less than half an hour, the Ancestor Dragon had flown to his former home—the Endless Forest!
This time, the Ancestor Dragon’s return was not for a nostalgic visit; he was there to recruit an army, to enlist Demon Beasts, and to level the Netherworld!
As he fully expanded his form, the Ancestor Dragon’s immense body cast the Endless Forest into darkness, every one of his scales as large as the city of Jinrui City itself.
"All Demon Beasts above Level 11, come to my back!"
With the Ancestor Dragon’s call, a fearsome suppression spread out. Merely the force of his presence broke the massive trees and shattered the hills.
In today’s Endless Forest, few Demon Beasts recognized the Ancestor Dragon, but that didn’t prevent them from realizing his power. Facing absolute suppression, those Demon Beasts could only comply with the Ancestor Dragon’s demand, gathering on his back.
And the three divine beasts of the Endless Forest also slowly awoke under the Ancestor Dragon’s pressure.
But the Ancestor Dragon had no regard for the power of these few creatures; with a dragon’s roar, he knocked them out cold. He didn’t need any other divine beast-level power to invade the Netherworld; having subordinates to handle the ordinary soldiers of the Netherworld was sufficient.
In just a short few days, the Ancestor Dragon had gathered countless powerful Demon Beasts, and with a pressing urgency to save the captive, he didn’t wait any longer but headed straight for the Netherworld.
Di Ti, who was still sweeping the planes of Demon Beasts, sensed the terrifying fluctuations coming from the distant Star Sea and couldn’t help but look up to investigate.
"Father... Father?!" Di Ti was stunned. Hadn’t the Ancestor Dragon disappeared? Why would he suddenly appear in the Star Sea?
(Di Ti did not interact with humans; apart from Lu Hong’s wedding, he had never been to the Continent of God’s Grace and was unaware of the Ancestor Dragon’s whereabouts.)
Spotting the Ancestor Dragon, Di Ti hurriedly tried to chase after him, but the Ancestor Dragon was too fast to catch, and Di Ti could only watch as the other disappeared from his sight.
The massive footprints of the Ancestor Dragon could not be hidden, and of course, there was no need to hide them.
The four major powers quickly learned of this reinforcement, and immediately their confidence soared; the plan to attack the Netherworld was advanced once again.
And in the depths of the Netherworld Royal City, the Netherworld God suddenly sensed something. As if through destiny, she saw a furious, massive dragon barreling towards her from afar, with a clear target—to kill her!
A dragon?
"Ancestor Dragon?" The Netherworld God was taken aback for a moment. It seemed she had no feud with the Ancestor Dragon, so why would he hate her so much?
But then she thought, it wasn’t a problem at all; after all, the Netherworld God wasn’t afraid of him!
