Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 151: Double-edged sword, devil's conspiracy
"I firmly disagree!"

Noah saw the majestic middle-aged man with lightning flashing in his eyes. Although there were traces of legendary power leaking out of his body, causing great pressure on all living things around him, the golden dragon was not concerned and gently shook its tail.
"I'm informing you, not discussing with you. I don't need to ask for your opinion. I just think you should know, so don't get excited."

"Noah, did anyone force you? Why did you make such a dangerous decision?"

Taidel looked at the golden dragon in front of him with some confusion.

He thought he knew Noah very well. After all, this was the dragon he had watched grow up. The dragon had always been extremely cautious since he was a child and never got involved in any dangerous situations. As long as there was the slightest risk, he would stay away from it. He was so steady that it was speechless.

"Who do you think can force me in this land? This is my own decision."

"Do you know how dangerous the South is right now?"

Taidel was a little excited. With his identity and status, he now knew about the changes in the south. Some legends who were familiar with his father had sent messengers to seek Cassius' help.

However, Taidel politely declined. With Cassius away, he himself could only manage to hold on to the Augusto family's base. How could he have the spare energy to provide external aid?

"I already know the general situation. The actual situation is not as dangerous as you think."

"The projection of the demon lord has descended many times, and the number of demons has reached the level of a legion. You tell me there is no danger?"

"Teddel, don't just look at what terrifying existence is on the other side, you should also look at what powerful existence is on our side. Danger is relative."

Seeing the rather impatient Augustus Patriarch in front of him, Noah remained calm.

The invasion of the abyss is indeed an emergency that needs to be treated with caution and must not be allowed to develop. However, an incident of this scale has not occurred on the continent of Zealandia for a long time, which actually means that the mainland's defense capabilities are actually quite sufficient.

Although the incident happened suddenly, so that many legends in and around the place where the incident occurred did not fulfill their obligations, but instead led the crowd to flee. But this only shows that the situation is out of control on a small scale and is still within the controllable range.

Noah believed that the forces planning to go to the south were definitely not limited to their Gemological Society, and that more forces would converge on the south.

With the gathering and union of all forces on the continent, the arrival of the incarnation of gods is a matter of course. The invasion of demons has actually shaken the basic foundation of faith in the gods, and no matter how stupid a god is, he will not sit idly by.

Therefore, in Noah's opinion, with the current foundation of the continent, it is definitely possible to suppress the invasion of the abyss. Therefore, this incident seems to be extremely dangerous, but as long as it reaches a certain level, it is actually just like that, and there will be no fatal risks.

It was because of that judgment that Noah decided to participate. After all, half of the members of the Gemological Society decided to go to the south. As the head of the society, if he avoided the war, the image he had worked hard to build over the years would collapse.

Although the Metal Dragon Clan attaches great importance to money, they do not only value money. No Metal Dragon will agree with a leader who does not have noble moral character and is able to rise to the challenge and withstand pressure when faced with difficulties.

"On our side? Who's there? Are my father and mother back?"

Teddel's expression relaxed a lot. If his parents came back and Noah wanted to go to the south to take a look, he had no objection.

"No, how is that possible? Besides them, can't I know other legends?"

"Legendary ancient dragon?"

Knowing that Noah was not acting recklessly or being coerced by some existence, but had something to rely on, Teddel's expression looked much better.

"Well, it's a bit difficult."

Noah looked distressed. It was nothing to spend some money to call an ancient dragon to come, but if he really had to think about it seriously, he didn't know who to call for a while.

Although he made the acquaintance of some very powerful old dragons and an ancient dragon, the ancient dragon had already taken the old dragons to other planes, so there was no hope for him to be able to defeat them in the short term.

Of course, if the situation really requires an ancient dragon, it is still easy to summon one. Noah has limited contact methods, but other metal dragons have plenty of channels.

The key lies in whether one is willing to pay. Noah is actually unwilling to pay now. After all, there is a six-winged angel who promises to provide free assistance. In this case, why should he spend money?
Money should be spent where it counts, and spent when needed, to decide the outcome of a battle.

"I actually know a six-winged angel of considerable status. She might be able to bring me enough surprises."

Noah didn't want to continue wasting time with Tidel, so he immediately took out the feather that Ophelia had given him. As the holy light lingering on the feather turned into flames and burned, a message was also conveyed to the heaven.

Boom——

The space collapsed in an instant, and a holy light spread from the other side, turning a corner of the Mage City into a bright place.
"Ancestor Dragon?"

One after another, gazes came from the other side of the space. They were all the main angels with six wings on their backs. The powerful aura was pressing down on them. Teddel took the lead and stepped forward to stand in front of Noah. Golden thunder burst out and lingered on the seemingly tiny human body. The power was even greater than that of an angel.

"Huh? This is it?"

The leading angel looked at the power and aura displayed by Tidel and uttered a rather surprised voice.

"Noah? Your world has been invaded by evil again?"

At this time, a female angel with a dignified and pretty face, but with a lingering murderous aura, stood out from the crowd and looked at the calm and composed golden dragon.

"To be precise, it's an invasion from the Abyss. Maybe it has something to do with you."

"Abyssal invasion? Is it related to me?"

Ophelia's expression changed color, and she took a step forward, descending from the heaven. It seemed that the distance was only a few steps, but in fact it was from the heaven to the material world. The difficulty was ridiculously great. However, there was a powerful force that suppressed everything, and did not let the rules of the material world affect the angel's arrival, making this scene look very easy and natural.

"what happened?"

When Ophelia arrived, the huge gap in space began to repair itself at a rapid speed. The six-winged angel that had originally stood side by side with Ophelia did not arrive with her, although there was inquiry and curiosity in her eyes.

"In the south of the continent where I live..."

Noah briefly introduced the situation, and then after explaining the basic situation, his tone changed.
"With a demon's brain, it is impossible to create the gate of the abyss in such a short time. I think this incident is very abnormal. I suspect it has something to do with the devil." Noah, who was talking nonsense, added,
"I guess it was the devil you expelled and suppressed that year who planned this incident."

"What evidence do you have?"

Noah's words made Ophelia look very unhappy. For the Lord Angel who had a strong sense of responsibility, it was impossible to accept such news. A disaster that had affected tens of millions of intelligent life forms was actually caused by her.

"It's just speculation. The brains of Abyss believers are no better than those of demons."

Chaos is the essence of the abyss. No matter how powerful a demon is, even if its power is comparable to that of gods, or even if it hunts gods, its thinking must be chaotic. This is closely related to the formation of the abyss, so that the demons that rise from the abyss find it difficult to escape such influence.

It's not that there is no way out. It's very simple. Just split the abyss, get rid of the chaotic mark of the abyss, move from disorder to order, and establish hell. Of course, doing so will incur the deepest malice of the abyss, but for an existence that can do this, it doesn't matter.

"Throughout history, there have been very few demon followers who have been able to successfully build the Gate of the Abyss in a short period of time. It is often a coincidence, influenced and driven by many external factors. I suspect that this time it was driven by the devil."

Noah, who had just come up with this idea in a flash of inspiration, became more and more powerful and logical as he spoke. He almost believed it himself, because this possibility really existed.

When the archangel was hunting the devil, Noah concluded that there must be some omissions. The devils were not stupid. They knew that there were angels coming down from heaven to hunt them, so how could they not run away?

These guys fled to the south, and it's no surprise that they are now stirring up trouble and causing trouble.

The devil and the demon are originally in opposition. If the demon plays tricks, the demon is no match for the demon. If the demon has a big plan, it certainly doesn't mind using the demon as cannon fodder.

However, if we continue to reason in this way, it will be quite terrifying if we think about it carefully, because what is the purpose of the devil helping the demons build the gate of the abyss?
It is impossible that they are trying to help the expansion of the abyss. The devils don't have such kindness. Every devil is extremely selfish. They only consider whether they can gain benefits and will never care about the life and death of any life other than themselves.

"They want to build a gate to hell?!"

Noah came to this conclusion, and everyone present was horrified.

The terror of the Hell invasion is more than ten times that of the Abyss invasion. Due to the chaotic nature of the demons, before launching any battle, the demons will consume more than 90% of their own kind.

Unlike demons, devils know how to coordinate and cooperate with each other. Relying on the combat and legion combat capabilities honed in purgatory, once the number of devils reaches a certain scale, the legions of the material world can hardly stop them. Only the legions of the heavenly world can withstand the pressure.

"Noah, I hope your inference is false."

Even though Taidel was not planning to go south, his face was very solemn at this moment, because the location chosen by the devil for the gate of purgatory must be a place with a dense population and many intelligent creatures, and the city of Elishim met the requirements.

"I hope it's fake too."

Noah's head scales slightly exploded. He just had a flash of inspiration and wanted to scare the archangel in front of him and let her stay in the material world longer, preferably to accompany him until the end of the incident. However, the result of his reasoning now shocked even himself.

"If it is really as you said, then there must be traces of the devil near the gate of the abyss."

Ophelia frowned. She certainly realized that the golden dragon in front of her had some bad intentions in telling her this speculation, but she had to admit that this possibility did exist and there were similar cases.

"Let's go over and take a look now."

"it is good."

Noah was getting a little restless at this time.

As the saying goes, if it's none of your business, just stay out of it. But once it may affect you, it will naturally be different. If it is an abyss invasion alone, Noah believes that even if he can't make do, the Zealandia continent can withstand it with its foundation.

But hell is also going to invade, and he really can't predict what the result will be when both sides are invading. But even in the most optimistic scenario, the result will not be good.

Noah summoned the dragons. First, he identified three ancient dragons through the dragons who would descend as long as they were paid enough money. Then, as the head of the society, Noah led the members of the Gemological Society and the angels south.

Even though all of them are high-level extraordinary creatures with the ability to cast spells, a distance of nearly 40,000 kilometers is still an extremely long journey.

In the first half of the support journey, the mountains and rivers were magnificent, the scenery was beautiful, the wind was clear and the air was fresh, and the breeze was gentle. Everything looked so harmonious and beautiful. There was no sign at all that the southern border of the same continent was being invaded by the abyss and ravaged by demons.

However, in the second half of the journey, the faint sulfur floating in the atmosphere and the gradually increasing smell of decay and death made the eyes of all the dragons become much more serious.

"Ophelia, this actually has nothing to do with you. Even without you, this disaster would have happened, maybe even earlier."

"But I clearly noticed the clues, but I couldn't stop it in time."

"It's impossible to stop it in the first place. Even if the gods sent down an incarnation, wouldn't they still be defeated?"

Noah felt a little guilty.

"It's different. If I can find and clean up all the evil in time..."

"It's like completely eradicating hell. It's an impossible task. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

The angel shook his head and said nothing more. At this moment, beneath the earth, a shocking scene of defeat came into view. The ruins of a village that had been burned down, leaving only charcoal and ashes, and a city with only broken walls, dry bones and charred corpses everywhere, and purple and black bloodstains everywhere.

In the corners of the city, you can also see low-level cowards holding the remains of babies and gnawing on them. They shuttle through the dark corners of the city with strong resentment and the sound of their souls sobbing.

"This is the independent free territory of Kurtan, more than a thousand kilometers away from the Principality of Bharata. How did it become like this?"

"This means that the information we received was delayed, or that the demons' advancement speed was faster than we expected."

"This is impossible. It has been less than ten days since we received the news. With the chaos of the demons, it is impossible for them to move at this speed unless someone is deliberately guiding them."
