Chapter 169 Believers in the Forsaken Land

Chapter 169 Believers in the Forsaken Land

In the "Dark Hut," Raphael once again saw the middle-aged man from the "Forsaken Land" praying.

The other party still hopes that the "Demon King" can help him control a monster of a very high level.

This same middle-aged man was praying yesterday, which means he probably prays every day!

Did he not know he was in a "forsaken land"?

The gods can't receive the "signals" from there!

Raphael was now able to project a very intimidating image and decided to ask the other party about the situation there, especially what exactly that so-called "high-level monster" was.

Thus, Raphael in the "Dark Hut" used the middle-aged man's astral body as a coordinate and descended with power.

The land forsaken by the gods, the Sen'er Federation.

As usual, the ugly-looking Zedd House got up and first prayed to the statue of the "Demon King".

The stone statue depicts a gaunt, middle-aged man with two long ram's horns on his head and bats on his back.

It has wings and a long tail. Its expression is indifferent, and its eyes are filled with evil. If you stare at the statue for three seconds, you will be completely corrupted and turned into a demon.

The previous "Demon Priest" told Zede that this stone statue had been passed down from a very long time ago. It was said to be a stone statue that was once worshipped in the "Demon Kingdom" and was very close to the image of the "Demon King".

Zeder had not expected that the "Demon King" would have so many human characteristics.

After his daily prayers, Zede was about to go find something to eat when suddenly, a terrifying power emanated from above the statue of the "Demon King".

Zeder was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with ecstasy!

The gods have responded!

In the next breath, an evil figure appeared sitting in a chair atop the "Demon King" statue.

The figure exuded an astonishing aura; Zeder only glanced at it before quickly lowering his head.

Zeder saw that the figure was not very real, and he could not see its specific appearance, but the other party's eyes were very vicious and full of malice.

He—or rather, the aura he exudes—is extremely corrupt and evil, as if he could send everyone in front of him into the "abyss" in the next second.

Raphael looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and asked, "Are you mute?"

Zede quickly knelt on one knee: "Great King, I am not mute."

Raphael said lazily, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, or I'll make you mute. Also, I'm not your king."

Zede was taken aback. Not the "Demon King"? Then why was he hearing his prayers?

Could it be that this stone statue is not the "Demon King" at all?

After all, the stone statue was moved to Sen'er City later, and no one dares to say that this is the statue of the "Demon King".

But he didn't have time to think about these things, because this great being seemed very impatient, and if he answered even slightly slowly, he risked becoming mute.

After a slight pause, Zede quickly said, "Great being, please forgive my offense."

"I hope you can help us control a high-level monster, or at least keep it away from Sen'er City."

Raphael said somewhat impatiently, "Explain yourself clearly. Do you think I'm keeping an eye on the Forsaken Land every day?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Zede rubbed his hands and quickly said, "According to the records of Sen'er City, that monster is the youngest son of the Giant King. For some reason, it seems to be an evil spirit and has been wandering around here."

"Long ago, several surrounding city-states relied on its help to thwart some high-level monsters."

"So we all gathered in Sen'er City, and this continued for more than two thousand years."

"But the monster formed from the young son of the Giant King is completely beyond our control. Every few years, it approaches Sen'er City and attacks all living things it encounters."

"Each time we have to pay a considerable price to repel it and become the shield of the Sener Federation again."

"Therefore we beseech the great being to bring this monster completely under our control."

Raphael frowned and asked, "Why do you insist on controlling it?"

Wouldn't it be better to just kill it?

Raphael remembered the youngest son of the "King of Giants," who was apparently cursed by the "Ancient Sun God" for insulting him. Although he was dead, the curse of the "quasi-Ancient" remained, so he wandered around a certain area like an evil spirit.

Then it suddenly occurred to him, what if he could transform it into a living corpse under his control—hehehehe—

Raphael hadn't dared to think about such things before, but now, with the help of "Dark Lodge," he dares to think about many things.

Zede quickly replied, "We need to use it to resist the attack from the city-state of Pythia."

Raphael was taken aback: "There's another city around you?"

"Yes," Zedd said.

Raphael hadn't expected that the area was so densely populated.

He didn't ask any further questions, but instead said, "Go near the young of the Giant King, and recite my name. I will help you control it."

Yes, if you turn it into your own living corpse, you can completely control it!

As for whether it's under the control of Sen'er City, you didn't specify who you're under. If you did, I'd pretend I didn't hear it.

Raphael had no intention of being a kind person—a god, and this ugly middle-aged man, who had been praying to the "Demon King," was no saint either. There was no need to be polite to such a person.

If there's no way to change it, that's fine too. Just kill this ugly middle-aged man, and then no one will know that the "Lord of Evil Desires" failed in his first attempt to respond to the prayer.

We will carefully summarize our experiences and strive for success next time.

Zeder exclaimed excitedly, "Yes! I—after reporting this good news to the Federal Council, I will immediately head to the vicinity of the Giant King's young son!"

Raphael nodded. "No need to rush. I haven't set my sights on the Forsaken Lands for a long time. Before you set off, offer up some historical records and information describing the current situation there."

Zede replied respectfully, "Yes."

"Remember my name: Father of Demons, Lord of the Heretics, Source of Curses —"

Zeder memorized it carefully, and the next second, the surging evil power vanished, and the figure filled with malice also left.

Zeder jumped up from the ground and ran quickly out of the temple. On the way, he encountered people whose bodies had mutated. Soon he arrived at the council hall and met Speaker Dohaden Hawke.

Speaker Dohaden also underwent a mutation; a fleshy growth appeared on the top of his head, looking somewhat like a gourd.

Upon learning that a deity had finally answered the priest's prayers, he immediately said, "Summon all councilors for a meeting!"

You're attending too.

He said the last sentence to the priest Zede.

Soon all the councilors arrived, and Zedd recounted his experience again, reciting the name left by that being.

Everyone realized that the authority described by this title seemed to be even more powerful than that of the "Demon King".
