Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Even though I've lived in this world for so many years, I still can't forget it.

The woman who cried out back then was her mother, and Melisandre was her real name. Melisandre was the name given to her by the red priest who taught her after she joined the Temple of the Red Gods.

She was snatched from her mother's arms by slave traders and then sold into slavery at the Red Temple after several transfers.

Many red monks joined the Red Temple in this way, including the former High Priest Benello, who was initially a slave child bought by the Red Temple.

Although she was a lowly slave, Melisandre's master treated her fairly well after she joined the Red Temple. Most of the other boys were trained to become warriors of the Holy Hand, and the girls were trained to become temple prostitutes, but Melisandre escaped this fate thanks to her extraordinary talent.

But this still couldn't stop her childhood memories from becoming a recurring nightmare for Melisandre, accompanying her as she observed the world for hundreds of years, even traversing the entire known world from the distant Assassin, from the far east to the far west of Westeros, ultimately choosing Viserys as the end of her mission.

"My lord..."

"No matter what, I must not repeat my mistakes..."

In the end, Melisandre gritted her teeth and gripped the black goat's horn tightly. She overcame her inner fear, strengthened her resolve, and made up her mind.

The psychological pressure that Melisandre endured in doing this was unimaginable.

After all, although the red-robed monk bought her from slave traders, her faith in the Red God permeated her entire life, but...

"Consider it...for my son."

Decades ago, scenes flashed before my eyes one after another.

It was late at night.

Winter winter winter—

As the bells of King's Landing echoed, His Majesty Viserys I, the first Emperor of the Empire, secretly received Melisandre, the Vice-Principal of the Theological Seminary, even though Viserys had theoretically been missing for many years.

The two talked for a long time by candlelight, during which Viserys told Melisandre everything that was happening, including the current state of the War of the Gods and the predicament facing the world.

Viserys then made a request of Melisandre, asking her to leave King's Landing in a few years and travel to Essos to find the black goat's horn that the Old Gods had intercepted and left there.

Furthermore, he used his personal charisma to reorganize the remnants of the Crimson God Cult, then led them in rebellion against the Empire's rule, winning the trust of the Lord of Light...

Therefore, Melisandre quietly left King's Landing many years ago, and no one knew where she went until the shocking incident that year brought her name back into the spotlight.

The Ministry of the Interior and Imperial intelligence were searching for Melisandre's whereabouts day and night, and the world's best assassins and spies were also keeping a close eye on the situation, hoping to take her head and gain merit.

However, now, the High Priestess in her red robes faces a huge, blazing bonfire, clutching a black goat's horn tightly in her hand, her long red hair fluttering in the wind.

Meanwhile, the remaining followers of the Red God cult held hands and sang hymns in a celebratory manner, opening a bridge of communication between believers and the gods.

Not long ago, Heros and Diana temporarily lent their divine power to their brother Immon through this channel of soul connection via prayer, so that he could kill the giant lion god who was wreaking havoc on the human world.

But now, in this atmosphere, Melisandre closed her eyes slightly.

"My Lord, please hear my prayer..."

She then silently and devoutly prayed, and in her mind she visualized a blazing fire. Within this fire, a faint black shadow slowly emerged, its features and even its shape indistinct.

Melisandre suddenly felt a surge of pressure, as a powerful will quietly descended upon her through her prayers.

This is the Lord of Light as seen from Melisandre's perspective, the former human hero Azor Ahai.

When she sees this shadow, it means that her prayers can be heard by the King of Light. Whether or not he is willing to respond to the believer's prayers depends entirely on his mood.

In reality, although Melisandre is one of the Lord of Light's most important tools for traversing the world, she rarely answers prayers.

However, at that moment, Melisandre's devout prayer suddenly changed.

"My lord, I curse you..."

Melisandre gripped the black goat horn tightly, yet no one noticed that her divine body began to tremble slightly, enveloped in a layer of golden light, and from which a thin layer of black mist seeped out.

"Great Black Goat God, I offer you my sacrifice..."

Call ~

Meanwhile, in Melisandre's sea of ​​consciousness, a giant black goat emitting black smoke was successfully awakened.

She has been hiding here for many years, waiting for a chance to recover.

She needs human faith and sacrifices.

Therefore, when Melisandre prayed to him, the remnant spirit of the Black Goat God answered the woman's prayer without hesitation, regardless of who she wanted to deal with.

Moreover, Azor Ahai later slaughtered all the gods of Asgard, which made the Black Goat realize that even though they had promised the gods of Westeros, they could not escape death in the end.

The opponent is simply unable to fight against all the gods in the sky, so they are resorting to a trick of defeating them one by one.

Chapter 1127 The God of a Thousand Faces

"Ok?"

"Supreme Priest, what's wrong?"

However, it was only then that someone finally realized something was wrong.

The black mist, filled with an evil aura, emanating from Melisandre had become increasingly dense, and the voice emanating from Melisandre's mouth was no longer a prayer to the Lord of Light, but had transformed into a sinister incantation with a murky and heavy tone.

All the fervent followers of the Lord of Light looked at each other in dismay at the sight, and panic rose in their hearts.

"what happened?"

However, Melisandre, shrouded in black mist, ignored them.

Viserys had once bestowed upon her divine power, and it was for this very moment that that power was meant to help Melisandre control the divine artifacts, and now it was finally coming in handy.

In fact, even without Viserys's divine power, the remnant soul of the Black Goat God also actively helped Melisandre in her fight against Azor Ahai.

In the Valley of Shadows, the last secret base of the Cult of the Red God, a sudden gust of cold wind surged, carrying with it a black mist that instantly spread outwards.

Meanwhile, Melisandre, at the heart of the black mist, continued to chant the terrifying incantation with unwavering resolve, and a horrifying will slowly descended upon the world under her spell.

The Black Goat God needed to collect enough sacrifices before he could launch an attack on Azor Ahai, who had betrayed the gods.

As the black fog grew thicker, these fanatical followers of the Red God sensed something was wrong and finally tried to flee in panic, but it was too late.

This black mist is different from the power Viserys received from the underworld as a gift from Belerien; it is the divine power of the Black Goat God, who represents plague and curse.

Melisandre awakened the remnant soul of the Black Goat God hiding in the goat's horn and willingly offered it as a sacrifice. Then, the black mist instantly spread out, chasing after all the Red God cultists who were crying out for their fathers and mothers and fleeing in all directions, as if it had eyes.

"what--"

Screams echoed through the Valley of Shadows, enveloped in black mist. The mist seeped into the bodies of any living creature nearby, then, like maggots clinging to bones, instantly drained them of their flesh, leaving them lifeless.

The valley, which had been bustling just moments before, fell silent in an instant.

All that remained were the black goat horns, slowly dripping blood and transmitting the curse through the prayer channel to the Lord of Light, and Melisandre kneeling on the ground, panting heavily.

In the sea of ​​the woman's consciousness, wisps of black mist entwined with the shadow of Azor Ahai.

The other party seemed somewhat caught off guard. After all, the Red God wouldn't respond to every believer's prayer, and his true self was engaged in a fierce battle in the heavens. Moreover, she didn't seem to have expected that her most loyal believer would betray her at this moment and kick her while she was down.

God's Arrival

The shadow of the King of Light, entangled by the curse of the Black Goat God, did not utter a single scream before it burst apart and shattered into pieces.

She hoped to escape the curse of the Black Goat God by cutting off her arm to survive, but she underestimated the Black Goat God.

After all, as a veteran deity who could fight the Drowned God to a standstill, even though his divine body had perished and his remnant soul had hidden inside the ram's horn, the Black Goat God's strength was still not to be underestimated.

The shadow of the King of Light dissipated, while the curse of the Black Goat God followed the faint connection between the shadow and the main body and directly entangled her body.

boom--

Azor Ahai's true form was entangled in the curse of the Black Goat God. Her divine body suddenly knelt on one knee, and drops of blood continuously fell from the sky. The divine fire on her body also dimmed considerably, suppressed by the power of the curse.

The King of Light, lacking the Naga Fire Seed of the Drowned God, was immune to curses and thus had no choice but to obediently endure the curse of the Black Goat God.

However, at that moment, Viserys in the distance and Azor Ahai, who was kneeling on one knee, both narrowed their eyes and looked towards her side and behind her.

A figure hidden in the hood appeared as if it had jumped directly from another dimension, suddenly appearing before the King of Gods without any prior warning, and then a dagger pierced through the heart of the Red God from behind.

puff--

"The God of Many Faces!"

As if things weren't bad enough, Azor Ahai had just been attacked by the combined power of creation of Heros and Diana, which combined the power of ice and fire. All the shadows were wiped out at the same time, and his divine body was also severely injured.

However, before he could even catch his breath, he was cursed by the Black Goat God, followed by an attack from the Thousand-Faced God.

The opponent seemed to have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and with one strike, he pierced through the Red God's vitals, seemingly delivering the final blow.

It turns out that the God of a Thousand Faces, who was once a member of the gods of the continent of Essos, disappeared after helping them kill the heavily wounded Drowned God.

Therefore, after Viserys was sealed away, Azor Ahai wiped out all the gods, large and small, from the entire realm of Asgard, but the Many-Faced God escaped.

The Old Gods are difficult to kill because of their tenacious vitality, while the God of a Thousand Faces is very difficult to find if he is determined to hide.

However, although the Many-Faced God was in hiding, he had seen through Azor Ahai's true nature. If he did not want to hide in the alternate dimension forever, he had to help Viserys kill the Red God at this moment.

Therefore, she finally found a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The God of a Thousand Faces suddenly made a move to deliver the final blow, directly piercing the heart of the Crimson God with her divine dagger.

"Father, is the Crimson God dead?"

When Diana saw this from afar, although she didn't recognize the Many-Faced God, she knew that he had come to help.

Viserys frowned slightly, as he was unsure of the King of the Gods' current state, especially since the Many-Faced God had always been an enemy, not a friend.

Although the God of a Thousand Faces is not very powerful, she is elusive and can be considered the most dangerous god in the divine realm. She killed the Drowning God and once almost killed herself.

However, just as the God of a Thousand Faces suddenly appeared to deliver the final blow and then tried to leave, he was suddenly grabbed by the arm by the critically wounded and dying Azor Ahai.

"Ok?"

The Thousand-Faced God's cold face, hidden beneath his hood, froze slightly.

He is very patient and never acts rashly; he is even willing to wait hundreds of years for an opportunity.

Because he knows best that the one hiding in the shadows is the greatest threat, and the moment he strikes is actually the most dangerous moment for him.

He waited until the Red God was at his weakest, but he never expected...

Crimson Goddess gripped the arm of the Thousand-Faced God tightly, and then a viscous black shadow with a materialized form detached from her body and quickly spread towards the Thousand-Faced God.

The God of a Thousand Faces instinctively sensed the danger, but it was too late to escape by using spatial warp.

He swung his dagger and severed Azor Ahai's arm, which fell from the heavens to earth, but the viscous, solid black shadow still clung to his body.

The next second, the expression on the face of the God of a Thousand Faces stiffened slightly, and then he turned to look at Viserys, Diana and Heros, and spoke in a calm voice.

“Father...and my sister and brother.”
