Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 160: Falling into hell, a dead end? A new life?

"what happened?"

Noah noticed that the goblin was in a bad mood, but when faced with the leader's question, Alphinaud hesitated and did not dare to speak. He just handed the magic raft in his hand to Noah.

"You better see for yourself!"

"The gate to Hell in Middle-earth has disintegrated, the Holy Dragon Slayer, the Terminator of Hell, and Lord Cassius is missing?!"

Noah's eyes swept over the battle report sent back from tens of thousands of miles away, and then his eyes froze.
"What does missing mean?"

At this time, Noah no longer had any intention of clearing out the remnants. He abandoned the legion and returned directly to the city of Elishim.
"what is going on?"

The atmosphere in the city of Elisim was also extremely silent at this moment. Although news of the collapse of the second gate of hell came from Middle-earth, Cassius, the current head of the Augustus family, the greatest spiritual pillar and the strongest support, also disappeared along with the collapse of the gate of hell.

For the people who have lived on this land for generations, such news is undoubtedly like the sky falling. Not to mention the ordinary people, the mood of panic also permeated the official residences and areas where nobles gathered.

"Why did this news spread throughout the city?"

Noah went to see Teddel, but instead of asking about his adoptive father's safety, he questioned why such confidential news had caused such a stir.

You know, the city of Elisim is the core city of the Augustus family. If such a big mistake occurred in this city, what about other places?

"By the time I found out, someone had already spread the news in the city."

Teddel, who was already in a bad state of spirit and spirit, now looked even more decadent. He leaned back in his seat and responded to Noah's questions weakly.

"Didn't you trace the source of the leak?"

"This is all true news. What will happen if we investigate it?"

The man at this moment looked deeply shocked and extremely depressed.

"kill!"

Noah said firmly, and a bloody murderous aura burst out from his body along with his words, making the little fairies passing by tremble in fear.

"Those who deliberately spread the news have bad intentions and are disrupting order. They must have some agenda."

"What could he be plotting? He just wants the crown. If he wants it, give it to him. Anyway, my father is gone, and the Augustus family is indeed not suitable to be a royal family now."

Teddel laughed miserably. His body had long been oppressed and destroyed by the Titan bloodline in years of battle, and now his mental will seemed to have been severely damaged as well.

"Bastard!"

Seeing the man in front of him like this, Noah cursed angrily.

"It's just a disappearance. Are you sure your father is dead?"

"Missing? That's just a euphemism to make it sound less harsh. Do you know what my father ended up with?"

When Teddle heard Noah's question, he became excited in an instant and threw a string of gems in front of Noah.

"Look for yourself. Do you think my father can survive?"

Noah looked at the string of photo gems in front of him and activated them one by one. They were records of the battlefield in Middle-earth, and at the core of these recorded images was a young man with loose black hair.

That was Cassius heading to the battlefield of Middle-earth. He was still so brave and invincible. As long as he stepped onto the battlefield, it represented victory. He would defeat whatever he attacked and defeat whatever he faced. No devil's army or bronze fortress could stop him.

However, the situation on the Middle-earth battlefield has changed dramatically since the collapse of the Hell Gate in the East, and Hell began to frantically send troops to this gate.

Not only were there more troops, but the gates of hell were no longer guarded by just one lord incarnation. There were three lords who had sent down their incarnations, along with twenty devil legends and a devil army numbering over one million. Even Cassius could not break through the defense line.

The resistance in Middle-earth was not much stronger than that in the East. Although the resistance alliance there tried hard to share the pressure with Cassius, facing the Hell that was beginning to exert its strength, their limit was to barely lure away an incarnation of the Lord of Hell.

However, the incarnation of the fourth lord of hell also came because of this. At this time, the gate of hell could not hold on because it carried too much will and power of the lords of hell, and began to crumble.

The fourth lord who descended looked very familiar. It was the dragon demon, the lord of hell who was tortured from beginning to end by Cassius and could only issue threats without the dignity of a strong man.

At this time, although this Hell Lord was not much stronger than the East Territory, with the cooperation of other Hell Lords, even Cassius would find it difficult to get rid of it.

The incarnations of gods entered the scene, the will of hell provided support... The severity of the battlefield in Middle-earth was far beyond Noah's expectations, and it was several times more brutal than the battlefield in the East where he had personally participated. Perhaps it was because the gate of hell in the East collapsed too quickly, which stimulated certain beings and made them start to increase their efforts.

"No, their goal is..."

As Noah gradually investigated, he felt something was wrong, until he finally saw the golden dragon, and then he realized that the gate of hell in Middle-earth had turned into a trap.

The devil no longer aims to guard the gates of hell. The madly projected lords of hell treat the portals that can invade the material world as disposable items, and their target is a man.

Cassius, the inheritor of Titan bloodline and a human legend who is infinitely close to a pure-blooded Titan

By the time they realized their goal, it was already too late. The lords of hell were willing to sacrifice their own origins and self-destruct their incarnations just to drag Cassius into hell.

As the gate of hell in Middle-earth, which was also made of bones, collapsed, the plan of the Lord of Hell succeeded. They abandoned millions of demons, hundreds of high-level devils, and paid a part of their origin, and finally dragged the man into hell.

As the video ended, Noah fell into deep thought. He finally understood why Teddel, who had already become a legend and was about to ascend the throne, was so out of control and decadent.

It is impossible for any man to remain indifferent when he loses his father, especially when he regards his father as his lifelong goal.

"hell!"

The garbage and debris of the endless plane formed the Bottomless Abyss, and the chaos of the Bottomless Abyss also evolved and split into Hell, which represents evil and order.

There is more than one hell in this world. The most famous one is Baator, but there are also Scorched Rock Hell, Gray Hell, etc. Many less well-known hells have equally bad environments, and the creatures derived from them have hells that are no less cruel than the devil. As a creature in the material world, falling into hell is undoubtedly the worst and most terrifying thing. The devil's greed and desire for souls are no less than that of the devil, and he will try every means to seize souls.

From the most ideal perspective, if creatures in the material world fall into hell, they are not completely hopeless. If they can avoid the entanglement and difficulties of middle and low-level demons and can communicate peacefully with high-level demons, they still have a chance to return to the material world from hell.

But the premise is that one has enough strength, but the strength cannot exceed the standard and cannot be too strong, because once it attracts the attention of the Lord of Hell or even the Will of Hell, there is basically no way you can leave it intact, you will inevitably leave something behind, or even integrate into it.

"Teddel, I don't think anything will happen to my uncle!"

Noah suddenly raised his head and said in a strong voice,
"He will definitely come back."

"Noah, what are you talking about in your sleep? Are you crazy? Look carefully, that is hell. Tell me, why did my father come back?"

Cassius's power is almost beyond the peak of the material world. Noah has speculated that if the continent of Zealandia is not currently suffering from the triple demonic disaster, his adoptive father may not be able to get in with his current strength.

Such strength must have exceeded certain standards and limits. Once entering hell, not only would one be targeted by the Lord of Hell, but one would also attract the attention of the will of hell.

"I don't know how my uncle came back, but he wasn't dragged out by force. I feel like he walked into hell voluntarily!"

"Walk into hell voluntarily, you really..."

Just as Tidel was about to complain about the Golden Dragon, he was interrupted by Noah.

"If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself."

"how is this possible?"

Although the man said he didn't believe it, he still stood up from the chair and approached the golden dragon. As the golden dragon activated the image gem once again, a clear image of the battlefield was projected. Then the golden dragon began to use his mastery of magic to speed up the playback of the image and point to several suspicious points.
"Look, here, here, and here. In these opportunities, uncle obviously noticed that something was wrong. He had the opportunity to withdraw from the battlefield, but he didn't. Look, in the last scene, uncle clearly walked in on his own initiative. He was not dragged in."

As Noah explained, the man's eyes, which were originally dim and somewhat turbid, gradually became sharper, and his whole body was obviously more lively, and the decadent air in his body was gradually cleared away.

"I really walked in on my own initiative, but why?"

After repeatedly activating the image gem several times, Teddel also agreed with Noah's point of view that his father was not forced to fall into hell by the Lord of Hell, but did so on his own initiative.

But if that was the case, the man couldn't understand what kind of confidence his father had to dare to go to hell?
There are not as many rules and constraints in hell as in the material world. Gods can come in their true form, and the devil lord can rely on the support of hell's will to fight against the gods. It is such a dangerous environment that even gods have to retreat from. Why would his father go in?
"Don't you think that uncle's realm is too far away from us? Since we know that uncle took the initiative, it means that uncle was prepared. It's normal that we can't guess it."

"You are the ancestral dragon, don't you know that?"

Taidel asked somewhat unwillingly.

"I am the Ancestral Dragon, but I am not an omniscient deity. How would I know what my uncle is planning? He hasn't told me."

Noah's dragon pupils turned gently,
"Where's my aunt? Where is she?"

"She is in Middle-earth now."

"What's her condition?"

“It looks very peaceful.”

"Oh, that shouldn't be a big deal. Don't think about other things now. Think about how to ascend the throne and be crowned as the new king. That's the important thing!"

Noah nodded, and then mentioned the matter that concerned billions of lives.

"Uncle, something just happened, and someone is trying to disrupt the order. If, as you just said, they want to replace you as the new king, then you must defend the throne with iron and blood."

Without waiting for Taidel's response, Jin Long added,
"You must remember that this position not only belongs to you, but also to Augustus. This is your father's achievement, and you should receive the reward and recognition!"

"I see."

Noah was relieved to see the man regain his spirits.

"I will clear everything and bring order and peace back to all living things in this land."

"Ugh!"

After leaving Taidel, Jin Long, who had been extremely optimistic about his adoptive father going to hell, could no longer hide his sorrow.

Because even with the knowledge of the Ancestral Dragon, Noah couldn't imagine how a creature from the material world who had not yet touched the realm of gods could enter hell and then fight his way out again surrounded by a group of regional lords. It was impossible no matter how he thought about it.

hiss~
The poisonous saliva kept flowing down as the snake's tongue flickered, and turned into a stream emitting poisonous mist on the ground. The snake's cold vertical pupils were staring at a black-haired young man who was sitting on the top of a black mountain not far away, with his eyes closed. His eyes were full of fear and greed.

Such gazes were everywhere in the mountains, but in the face of so much greed and evil thoughts, Cassius was not moved at all. He quietly adjusted his body and even gradually entered a state of selflessness.

Next to the mountain where he was sitting cross-legged, there was the corpse of a black goat broken into several pieces, as well as a broken scepter and a broken spear, all of which were the same length as the mountain where he was sitting cross-legged.

"We can't delay any longer, we must kill him as soon as possible!"

The black smoke obscured the sky, and the flowing poisonous fire melted the mountains. The demon dragon was wandering in the sky, staring at the figure that was so tiny in its eyes. Although its six eyes were filled with hatred, there was also a trace of fear that could not be concealed.

"Kill who? He'll soon be the new lord of Hell!"

A female lord with a snake tail and jet-black wings appeared above the clouds. She looked slim and full of endless temptation, but she was even more massive than the mountains, dominating the sky and full of deterrence.

"I have never felt the will of Hell so active!"

A man holding a black cat and with a red snake wrapped around his arm appeared. He looked like an elegant nobleman, but wherever he passed, countless monsters crawled at his feet, trembling.

"It looks like we're going to have a powerful companion."
