Chapter 820: Cave Tree(3/3)
It won't be long before all the older generations die and the new generation becomes the leader, and they will naturally blend in willingly.
After all, they have been basking in the glory of the empire since childhood, enjoying the prosperity and strength brought by the powerful empire, and feel honored to be a part of the empire.
What's more, my father had set the tone a long time ago, that is, the annexation of the North should be done slowly, and there is no need to be too hasty.
As long as a few self-sufficient large cities are incorporated first, the remaining small villages and towns will not have anything to fear.
Because after they got used to the convenience brought by prosperous trade, they simply could not afford to lose it all and return to the poor and hard life of the past.
Once they leave the empire's trade network, many villages and towns will not be able to survive."
While saying these words, Grea's eyes never left Aribes' protruding belly.
the reason is simple!
He has sensed that some astonishing power is about to break out of his shell and come to the world in another form.
"Ah!!!! Damn! I...my stomach hurts!"
Aribes suddenly grabbed the sheets and let out a scream, followed by sweat soaking through her hair and body at an extremely fast speed.
You must know that as a voter of Zuo Si, her physical fitness is not comparable to that of ordinary mortals. Normally, you don't even need to hire a priest for such small things as giving birth to a child, you can just take a few minutes to do it yourself.
But now, not only was her face and lips pale in pain, but her limbs were also twitching violently uncontrollably.
The originally round belly was rolling like waves, and occasionally you could see fleeting energy beams.
"What is going on? Why was everything fine one second and then like this the next?"
A maid asked loudly with a nervous and anxious look on her face.
"You ask me? How do I know!"
One of the busy priests rolled his eyes angrily.
Although she had delivered babies for many families in Neverwinter City, this was the first time she had delivered a child for a powerful godlike and planeswalker like Zuo Si.
And based on the experience of little Annie and Grea, this child is probably not a mortal, so no matter what happens, it is possible.
Another elderly female pastor even got under the quilt, trying to confirm whether there was a formed baby in the womb.
But as soon as her front feet got in, her back feet were thrown out by a huge force, smashing through the window at the back. She fell directly from the second floor onto a flower bed on the street and broke one of her legs.
Obviously, this unborn little guy is obviously a bit shy and doesn't want anyone to see him.
Seeing this situation, the priests who had just been busy conducting physical examinations immediately stopped all actions.
On the contrary, Grea walked straight to the bed and released his dark divine power to comfort this little guy who didn't know whether he was a brother or a sister, and prevent him from directly erasing the entire city of Neverwinter from the map after being stimulated by the outside world.
Maybe it was because she felt the love and care from her brother, or maybe because she was no longer prying from others, Aribes' originally restless stomach finally calmed down.
Just as she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, more severe pain instantly swept through every nerve in her body. Her originally pale face instantly turned red and veins popped out, and her whole body floated off the bed.
In a blink of an eye!
A terrifying spiritual scream swept through the entire city of Neverwinter.
Except for her mother, Aribes, and her brother, Graya, everything else alive died suddenly in an instant, even the rats in the sewers were no exception.
Not to mention mice, even mosquitoes and plants are like this.
Immediately afterwards, an indescribable gray-white color enveloped the sky over the city, as if it was separated from the material plane and pulled into another space completely composed of spirit and soul.
"This...where is this place? What happened?"
Aribes looked around in shock, completely unable to believe that the city she ruled had turned into a ghost in just a moment.
Not only her, but the souls of those who died suddenly were also confused. Many people even didn't realize that they were dead.
Sudden!
The voices of the two children echoed in everyone's ears.
"Hehehehe! Everyone come and play with us!"
"Now I am counting down to ten. During this period, you should try to find a hidden place to hide. I will look for you after ten numbers. Anyone caught will be eaten."
"That's right! Eat it! Eat it! I like delicious souls the most!"
"Brother, if you eat them all, no one will come to play with us."
"It doesn't matter, let's eat half of it first. When we catch one, we will toss a coin to decide whether to eat or not."
"What a great idea! It's settled!"
"ten!"
"Nine!"
"eight!"
"seven!"
…
Accompanied by the slightly childish countdown, all the souls in the entire city of Neverwinter finally came to their senses, showing expressions of extreme fear, and quickly searched for a place to hide like crazy.
Some even rushed directly outside the city, or prayed to the gods they believed in.
But the moment the former approached the city walls and gates, it was directly grabbed by invisible hands, and then thrown into a big mouth that opened from the sky or the ground to swallow it.
The latter received no response at all, even from the priest.
Obviously, anyone with a little knowledge of religion and planes knows that this means that this place has been shrouded by some kind of power that is comparable to divine power, or it is in a space that is isolated from divine power.
In this case, no matter how powerful the gods are, they cannot sense what is happening inside, let alone send an incarnation to save themselves.
However, unlike the fear and despair of mortal souls, the Dark Prince Graia laughed happily. While laughing, he sighed: "Incredible! They are actually twins born from death, spirit and soul? What should I call them now?
What about you, dear brother and sister?"
"Don't worry, dear brother, I'll get back to you after we finish playing this game."
"That's right. We are very hungry. We must eat some souls to fill our stomachs first."
As soon as they spoke, the newly born twins used their own power to pull out several of the souls hiding in the wood behind the house.
"Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!"
"No! Don't eat me! Please!"
"Don't eat me either! Go eat them! My soul is not delicious at all!"
These ordinary people were clearly terrified.
If only their souls weren't left, they would most likely wet their pants.
But unfortunately, this kind of begging for mercy could not impress the twins.
I saw a coin suddenly appear out of nowhere, and then it was suddenly thrown into the air by a force, spinning and rolling to the highest point, and then quickly fell to the ground.
"Aha! That's the front! This soul can be eaten! I'm not welcome!"
A big mouth suddenly appeared out of thin air and swallowed the soul of the adult man standing behind the coin, before the latter even had time to scream.
Then the coin floated in front of the second person and was tossed high again.
But this time it fell on the opposite side.
Just when the woman thought she was lucky to escape, a big hand suddenly appeared and grabbed her, and then tore her soul to pieces in an extremely cruel way and threw it into another picture that was obviously different from the previous one.
Chewing hard in the mouth makes a creepy crunching sound.
"Dear brother, it's not good for you to blatantly violate the rules of the game. What will happen if they stop playing with us?"
"Hmph! I changed my mind. Tails means eating it, heads means not eating it."
Hearing what the twins said, Dark Prince Graya couldn't help but smile and reminded: "I sincerely suggest you stop this game. Because I am 100% sure that my father will not like it."
"Father?!"
There was an obvious hint of awe in the voice of the girl among the twins.
But the boy responded in a disapproving tone: "So what? By the time father comes over, we will have eaten all these souls long ago. Will he still kill us?"
The words have not yet been spoken!
