Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 214: Lost Contact with Tezca
The main material plane - the kingdom of the sky - the Pole Star Camp.

In the suffocating darkness, there suddenly came a hoarse roar that was not something that a human could make.

"My voters have failed, Your Majesty." The owner of the voice should have been a handsome and strong man with red hair, but now he has become pale and weak.

While Tezca was enduring the pain from the thorns growing from the chains on his spine due to his voice, he was also heartbroken over the death of his chosen people.

Tuzulla II was once his most powerful believer in the world, and he did not hesitate to disperse his authority and granted him the qualification of voter.

But now, because of His Majesty's order, he had to destroy that ray of power with his own hands as the price of unlocking the seal.

But this was not what hurt him the most. What hurt him the most was that his loyal believers gave everything but still failed.

The mission assigned by Zartek failed.

No god in the Maztec pantheon dared to bear the consequences of disappointing Zaltec.

"Your fate is already sealed, Tezca. Since you have failed, give up your position."

A calm voice was heard in the darkness, but if one listened carefully, a person with a keen mind might be able to detect the madness hidden beneath the calmness.

He had legs, arms, and a face. The face, however, was bestial, savage, and crude—a broad jaw that revealed a mouth full of curved teeth like a jaguar, and two very long, sharp fangs like a rattlesnake.

“No, Your Majesty, I still have faith, and I still have two cities that will maintain my divinity!” Upon hearing this, Tezca trembled and shouted like a madman.

"Hehe," a gentle woman's laughter came from another dark corner. The voice was sweet and seductive, with a hint of snake-like dampness.

"Tezca, the armies of those aliens will arrive and capture the other two cities sooner or later. By then, you will only have the concept of the sun to maintain your godhood."

"But don't forget that you only have one eighth of the power of the sun. The rest does not belong to you. It is simply a dream to rely on this to maintain your godhood. Instead of wasting faith on a waste like you who is destined to never leave prison, why not give it to me?"

The woman spewed vicious venom in a sweet tone, as if the Sun God in front of her, who was extremely sacred in the main material plane, was just a waste.

"Azul!!! You cold-blooded, heartless bitch!!! I allowed you to share Nicksalan's beliefs, and this is how you repay me?!!" Tezca excitedly cursed the woman with all kinds of vulgar words.

The woman chuckled and ignored him. She cleared her throat and explained to Zartek in a serious tone: "Your Majesty, there is no hope for Tezca. It will take 97 years before the seal is lifted. Without the support of faith, he may have fallen into divine sleep by then. Instead of wasting limited resources on him, it is better to leave it to me. The Kolan people on the west coast are my most loyal believers. They can definitely resist the pace of the aliens."

"Just do it."

As Zaltek gave the order, something seemed to stir in the darkness, and everything fell into silence again.
-
The sky is covered with rain, and August is the most severe time of the rainy season.

In a blink of an eye, a week passed. Heavy rains raged in every corner of Maztec.

For a week, Nemesis sat firmly in the city of Duzulla despite the wind and waves. The surviving people and troops in the entire city had returned to the city and were rebuilding the destroyed ruins.

The disappearance of the Tezca Temple caused many believers of the Sun God in the city to collapse. They shouted slogans to burn heretics to death and formed an opposition with Andreston's army.

Andrestone was not soft-hearted. Under the command of Nemesis, there was no one in the city who could be their enemy. He arrested a large number of troublemakers and destroyed all the statues and clay sculptures related to Tezca in the city. Unlike the two cities destroyed by Nemesis before, there were quite a few citizens who survived in Duzulla, and unlike the previous citizens, many of these citizens were devout believers in Tezca, which put Andrestone under great pressure.

Of course, not everyone stood on the side of the temple. Many citizens who had long been troubled by the blood sacrifice saw that Andreston and those aliens really occupied a dominant position, and they also boldly began to support Andreston.

Nemesis didn't care about this.

He is here just to maintain order in the city of Duzulla.

He has informed Boris through text messaging about everything that happened here. Soon, after the advance troops gain a foothold, the real large force will arrive here.

But before that, Boris ordered Nemesis to stay in the city of Duzula to prevent a surprise attack from the forces of the Kartaka Kingdom.

During this week, it seemed that the people of those kingdoms got some wind of the situation and organized several attacks, but they were all just a lot of noise but little results.

Nemesis knew they were testing the alliance.

In the ghost town of Pankuru on the front line, there was originally a pyramid with shamans stationed in it.

But after the night of the Tuzula mutiny, the shaman in the pyramid fled back like crazy, claiming that he could no longer sense Tezca and had lost his magical power.

Since all the shamans in the city of Duzulla had been killed that night, Nemesis didn't know whether what the other party said was true or false. After using the power of his mind to detect, he found that the other party's real shaman level had disappeared.

Whatever the reason, after the ignorant shaman fled back to Duzulla in a panic, the pyramids in the ghost town of Pankuru became completely unattended toys.

In the past few days, if Nemesis had not sent the advance troops and the troops in the city of Duzulla to garrison in the city of Pankuru to resist the attack of the kingdom's army, the other side might have discovered the truth about the failure of the pyramid.

Even so, they noticed something amiss during these attacks.

Normally at such times, the alliance would not deploy any troops, but would rely on the powerful force of the pyramid to launch a 360-degree attack to stop the kingdom's attack.

But in these times, the alliance forces sent out troops and used precious lives to stop the kingdom's army.

This obviously aroused the other party's suspicion.

During this week, the kingdom's troops attacked more fiercely and on a larger scale each time. Nemesis predicted that in the next attack, the other side would probably send a really large force to test the pyramid's strength.

Nemesis was also quite troubled by this.

Without the control of Shaman Tezka, the pyramid would be impossible to start. If the kingdom's army were to march, he would probably need to step in to stop it.

"Damn Boris! I just killed one of his apprentices and you're using me like a slave!"

Nemesis gritted his teeth and secretly vowed to take revenge sooner or later.
