Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 765 Only a fool would believe a liar
Asmodeus couldn't help but glance at Armes again: "Then you should also know that once a door is blasted open, it can never be closed again."

Even the area where Miska lives has been explored to its very edges, so... can you really find a place where you can sleep peacefully forever without leaving a trace?

"We don't need to be that rigorous."

Misca came up with it himself, so he needs to be guarded. "Almighty replied calmly, "Even the mighty need to expel the anguish and evil thoughts stirred up by his presence to guard him."

The method he used is something that probably no one else in the multiverse could do, except himself.

Herodos's priesthood is indeed very negative, but the degree of evil is not that great.

Any random duke of hell or demon lord could cause a disaster far worse than his.

He merely incited his followers to constantly oppose Hyronis and wage wars that wasted resources and manpower.

But Grayhawk is a world where reincarnation is commonplace.

Today, someone awakens to their past life's wisdom, instantly transforming into a valiant warrior on the battlefield, driving away Herodos's men.

Tomorrow is the day when someone in a slum is performing a ritual for Herodosto. Suddenly, he wakes up, raises his banner, and leads the poor people who have been oppressed by the nobles in a bloodbath.

The killing rituals he performed used the flesh and blood of his enemies... He was truly a very disciplined evil god.

Hyronis, who can restrain his negative aggregate to this extent, is the master of Paradise Mountain, who has become the master of order, as described by ordinary people in the multiverse.

If it had been him who awakened Asmodeus in the first place, many things might not have happened.

Of course, although the group of Order Gods on Paradise Mountain liked to hide behind Hyronis, they would never entrust such matters concerning everyone's interests to Hyronis.

After all, they only want others to follow their order, but they themselves do not intend to be bound by it.

If it were Hyronis, Asmodeus, and his battle angels, they would never have been born with such a deficiency that they would have had to relinquish their home, Paradise Mountain... Otherwise, as the embodiment of positive energy born from the core pool of life at Paradise Mountain, Asmodeus would be the master of Paradise Mountain.

Of course, thanks to his intelligence and the divinely bestowed mark, Asmodeus eventually possessed the nine layers of hell, which were almost identical to his original status.

But... who can't see the difference?
Asmodeus might now feel that the vengeful, vengeful, and vengeful hell is more in line with his style... But the King of Battle Angels who once fought sincerely on the front lines against demons and took it upon himself to protect Mount Paradise was not like that.

Those are friends who share the same ideals as Heronis!
Therefore, Almes didn't see anything wrong with this hero creating the negative entity Heroost hundreds of thousands of years after the King of Battle Angels became the Lord of Hell.

He truly deserves admiration only for doing this.

If it were him, Armies… no, he wouldn’t have taken that high position of responsibility in this messy alliance in the first place.

He is selfish by nature; he needs to get something before he will consider whether or not to give something in return.

Then Armies suddenly paused... It's quite normal that AO is interested in him.

Isn't this exactly what the Order God AO did back then?
Judging from his current performance, who can still think that AO is weaker than the elders of the Council of Order of Gods except for Hyronis!
But the reason this guy was able to leave so easily was because he had taken advantage of Paradise Mountain in a very secretive way, without ever making a big show of it.

The voices of the God of Order had no recollection of him, so they let him leave... There are guys who don't work but still get paid, but if they don't have the power to back them up, it's best to let them go.

By the time AO's strength is discovered, it will definitely be too late.

This is also why AO pays close attention to Paradise Mountain and tries not to go there personally.

The gods of order suffered in silence; how could they not want to retaliate?
Otherwise, Almes wouldn't have directly approached AO for cooperation.

How could a normal ruler of the world easily offend Heaven Mountain!
Only AO, with so many lice, doesn't mind the itch; given the chance, they'll definitely use dirty tricks.

There was even a strange tacit understanding between him and the Lord of Hell in this regard... AO also disapproved of the foolish behavior of the Order Gods in treating the battle angels as consumable tools.

Unlike Hyronis, he didn't act from a righteous standpoint. Rather, he genuinely believed that the Battle Angel was the true master of Paradise Mountain!

Either eradicate them completely, or let them live in a false sense of warmth and affection, so they don't realize that the arrival of the God of Order is an invasion of their homeland.

Wanting everything but refusing to bear the burden of an overly evil conscience... will inevitably lead to utter defeat in the end.

Furthermore, AO also deeply dislikes Hyronis, who was tricked into becoming an idiot by his trusted companions.

Fools are never worth pitying.

When the Greyhawk world appeared, this High God Toril was the first to kick someone when they were down.

Shirek sent them all over directly.

AO's views on good and evil are quite practical, and their social circles are even more inexplicable.

Despite Toril's frequent demonic invasions, compared to demons who cause terrifying disasters at the drop of a hat, the demons actually have some control over their greed.

However, correspondingly, it is easier for a demon duke to attain the so-called position of a god than for a demon lord.

Those all happened right under AO's nose!

The Tablet of Fate contains all sorts of information... His face, which is specifically used to observe the world of Toril, uses the template of the God of Order! He can see everything in the world that happens under the rules through the Line of Order.

Even chaotic creatures have underlying lines of order.

When normal living beings are wrapped in a mass of orderly lines, the fewer lines on their bodies, the greater the chance of being noticed.

This one incident alone reveals what kind of being AO judges as the one that will truly cause trouble for Toril.

Almes could naturally understand the old mage's pain... The external soul projections were definitely the kind with the fewest lines of order.

If they are involved with a powerful and influential figure like the Goddess of Magic, then the old mage will definitely have to be constantly vigilant.

The nonsensical ramblings that came out of his mouth showed just how unruly these undead were.

This was torture for the old mage who was holding the God of Order template... that thing was born to be carried around.

Almes glanced at Herodos, whose expression was cold, and then looked firmly at Asmodeus: "But Hermes is different from Zeus. They will definitely choose to sleep forever until the day the multiverse ends."

"Would Zeus agree?" Asmodeus asked, somewhat curious.

This is quite different from the cowardly, useless, and extremely greedy Greek gods he knew!

“He will be willing,” Armes said without blinking. “For Zeus, it’s better to live than to die.”

He would certainly prefer to live with dignity, but since he can't, he'll just stay alive.

He can attain eternity in his dreams by relying on his past memories.

If he could also get revenge on Paradise Mountain for tricking him, he would definitely sleep even more soundly.

Asmodeus was somewhat surprised: "He wouldn't want revenge on me, would he?"

“Zeus actually understands everything,” Armes said, suppressing a sigh, but stubbornly repeating, “He just likes to pretend to be ignorant when he knows the truth.”

His rule over Mount Olympus may seem foolish, but that's because he couldn't actually manage it all.

Cranus was able to do this in the past because Gaia shared the management of the earth with her beloved son.

What did Zeus have?
Without Thor's hammer, he couldn't even defeat Typhon!
Unless Uranus approves of him and gives him control of the sky... However, Uranus actually has his eye on Prometheus.

Zeus, he…

Armies shook his head helplessly: "There's absolutely no rigidity in it."

If it were Hades, he would fight Gaia to the very end, taking whatever he could, gritting his teeth and battling him to the bitter end.

Then he brought up Prometheus to help him manage the world.

But Zeus is the kind of person who, if he doesn't give it to me, he doesn't give it to me. Anyway, I've already obtained the position of a god, so I can enjoy it to my heart's content.

As long as his divine status is not threatened, he…

Almes narrowed his eyes, then chuckled and changed the subject: "Zeus could even sit in the small gardens of the Greek city-states, listening with a smile as humans gossiped about how he turned into a donkey and assaulted a queen or princess... He did indeed love beautiful women, but his choices were actually simple and unwavering, always focusing on lovely, fresh, and natural young girls and handsome, beautiful young men."

On the other hand, he might touch any goddess he finds attractive, just to try something new.

But humans... they're not that free.

However, he could still listen, and didn't even care if some women used him as an excuse.

Armies lowered his head slightly: "Although everyone despises him, Hermes is different."

Zeus never wronged Hermes.

He even…

Armes shook his head, feeling that he had finally given the ball rolling, so he began to wrap things up, emphasizing, "In Zeus's mind, it is perfectly normal for you, the lord of the underworld, to turn your back on him without mercy."

He was injured by you because he made a wrong move and lost a gamble.

Of course, he will do something if given the opportunity.

But there's no need to go out of your way to cause you trouble.

What he hated even more was the Order God of Heavenly Mountain who had truly deceived him.

“That’s true.” Herosto suddenly laughed hoarsely. “It’s only natural for a liar to lie. Those who choose to believe him are just asking for death.”
