The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

Chapter 759 Rehabilitation in the Bottomless Abyss (First Update)

The siege of the gnolls suddenly began.

No one knew how it happened, not even the soldiers of the army that Nesery personally led the charge, the officers who issued the orders, or the generals who were in charge of the overall situation.

All that is known is that Her Majesty the Great Queen suddenly issued an order to dispatch new recruits to clear out the increasingly scarce monsters in the surrounding area, with Dover as the center. The new recruits gradually spread outwards, slaughtering all the monsters such as kobolds, gnolls, and goblins that were unwilling to live in peace and devoured intelligent beings.

Meanwhile, the old guard from various places also gathered in the west, and under everyone's watchful eyes, they trekked through mountains and rivers to the vicinity of a country that had already submitted. This small country offered no resistance and opened its gates to let people in, which greatly shocked the other countries that were already on edge.

They then learned that a large number of gnolls had gathered on the border of the country, and they could not resist them on their own. The envoys of New Nesseri came, and the king and nobles had no choice but to try their best and release "tigers" to fight the gnolls.

As for whether the Nesserian army, acting as tigers, would usurp the throne, they could only pray that Maginus was morally upright enough.

After resting for two days in the small country, a large number of Nesserian troops rushed to the border and suddenly launched an attack on the gathered gnolls. The two sides immediately fell into an extremely intense battle.

Gnolls are very strong; an ordinary gnoll soldier can fight against three ordinary soldiers. Their elite forces are also exceptionally powerful, and their numbers are comparable to those of humans.

The battlefield quickly descended into a stalemate. To the surprise of other nations, the Nesserian army seemed to have experience fighting the gnolls, consistently managing to win small battles in various ways and gradually eroding the gnolls' living space.

The war in this region attracted countless eyes. To most ordinary people, it was just a campaign by a certain country to annihilate a group of gnoll tribes.

The incarnations of gods and some knowledgeable and powerful individuals knew that behind them was a battle between gods and demon lords.

The gnolls harbor ill intentions. Their massive numbers clearly indicate their ambition to seize human nations and establish their own gnoll kingdom. For a chaotic and disorderly race, this requires something powerful to control them from behind the scenes.

The King of the Gnolls wanted to take advantage of the War of the Saints to achieve his goals, and he had already made it public. The first obstacle should have been the small kingdoms, but for some reason, Maginus knew about it in advance.

Everyone was watching the battlefield, waiting for the final outcome. Some of the powerful members of the Church of the Righteous God also temporarily put aside their own affairs and quietly observed the development of events, planning to join the battle after the legend of the gnoll tribe appeared.

No intelligent race wants a gnoll nation to appear on the continent. Even the most savage orc tribes do not eat intelligent races most of the time, unless there is a real famine.

Gnolls, kobolds, goblins, and trolls are different; they are still monsters. Their mindset is the opposite of those of creatures that establish nations. The entire race has no burden about devouring intelligent beings; only a minority do.

In short, we cannot allow them to establish states; we must take strong measures.

While the battle raged fiercely on the front lines, unbeknownst to everyone, Maginus's true form was already planning a trip to the abyss.

Heading to the Abyss is neither a huge nor a small matter. The fact that it's "bottomless" indicates that the Abyss is vast and most of the area is extremely dangerous. However, there are still small areas that are safe, and sometimes even an entire plane can be safe.

Intermediate-level professionals can actually venture into the abyss at some risk, while high-level and legendary professionals are much safer.

The main reason why gods are unwilling to go to the abyss and purgatory is that they are afraid of dying there.

As beings at multiple levels, the K are high above. The death of their avatars or the "original body" of a certain prime material plane is nothing to them. As long as there is enough time and as long as there is a plane that still provides faith, the K will be able to revive sooner or later.

"Death" is not death, but merely slumber. It will eventually be awakened. In a certain plane, the Endless Light, still the Lord of Radiance, once accidentally awakened the original sun god of that plane.

That sun god was also the sun god of this prime material plane, but he made a deal with the Light of No End, handing over all the divine duties related to the elements of the sun and leaving the continent of Konoil and even this universe completely.

Getting back to the main point, gods can be resurrected continuously, but it's different in the Abyss and the Nine Levels of Purgatory. Once they die there, they are truly dead. These are forbidden areas for gods, unless they are evil gods who have placed their divine kingdom in the Abyss.

Therefore, no god is willing to go to the bottomless abyss in person.

As for Maginot, she was a bit reckless. She had never enjoyed the treatment that gods were entitled to, and she was already living on the edge of death. So naturally she wasn't afraid and was willing to follow the Succubus Queen to fight the Gnoll King.

"All right."

Before leaving, Maginus made many preparations. She looked at the new statue and nodded in satisfaction, ruffling Meru's hair and cheeks, placing her hand on Meru's pert buttocks, her gaze fixed on her own sculpture:

"You should be able to control the avatars much more easily from now on. This month is your responsibility. There shouldn't be too many problems on the battlefield or in the country. The most important thing to watch out for is the temple of the God of Slaughter below."

"Yes, I understand, Goddess."

Maginus modified the connection between the priest, the idol, and the avatar, making energy transfer between them easier. In the absence of her as the person with primary authority, the priestess Meru and the head maid Mira, who have subsequent authority, can better control the avatar to impersonate her.

After giving her instructions, she did not go to the rooftop, but instead went to the basement. Her fingertip broke open on its own, and blood flowed out, forming a spell in the empty basement.

The other end of the incantation connected to the 570th floor of the Abyss. Instead of the sulfurous or volcanic smells typical of most parts of the Abyss, it carried the fragrance of flowers and a captivating magical aroma.

This entire plane is the territory of the Succubus Queen. According to the planar geography, she has transformed it into a seemingly beautiful region. Apart from the attacks of the Gnoll King's army and some others, it is a very beautiful place according to the book.

As for why it's only on the surface, Maginus has to go and see for herself.

Chapter 760 The Disguised Succubus Territory

As the magic circle activated, Maginus's figure disappeared from the prime material plane. At the same time, she stepped into the grass, surrounded by a beautiful grassland with birds singing and flowers blooming, showing no sign of the bottomless abyss.

The moment K entered the bottomless abyss, a magnificent aura locked onto the Goddess of Death, silently releasing both good and evil towards her, constantly squeezing K's body with abyssal magic, attempting to forcibly infuse power into K's body.

All planes possess a general consciousness, with the consciousness of the Abyss being exceptionally active. Other planes extended olive branches to K, and the Abyss, more like a yandere, eagerly clung to him, attempting to corrupt K and turn him into its own.

Maggie, her gaze sweeping across the surroundings, looked towards a certain spot as she resisted the abyssal magic and the forced transformation. A spatial fluctuation emanated from her, and a petite succubus, her eyes timid and dressed in a modified nun's habit, appeared before her. The succubus, barely five feet tall, whispered:

"You...you are the great Goddess of the Dead?"

Maginos scrutinized the person who came to greet her. She was completely covered in clothing, which shouldn't have made her alluring, but the clothes were unusually form-fitting, she was small in stature with large breasts, and had a delicate personality…

Most importantly, it wasn't an act; it was genuine. With countless characteristics combined, the succubus before one's eyes naturally aroused desire.

"As expected of a succubus, huh? Lead the way."

With no intention of touching the succubi, Maginus raised his head and gestured for the girl to lead the way. His gaze swept around, and as the two moved forward, a huge city came into view, filled with beautiful succubi and male succubi with sunny smiles on their faces.

Succubi and male succubi are two different types of demons. They can change their gender, but their original gender determines everything. Male succubi are more warlike.

In this town, succubi make up about 80% of the population, male succubi make up 20%, and there are of course some other monsters, but they do not appear in the public eye.

No matter how you look at it, this city is like a paradise. The distant mountains are verdant, the ocean is azure, the surrounding marble buildings are neat and white, and the streets are spotless, just like a fairyland.

Along the way, there were many mortals, their faces beaming with happiness as they walked with their demon lovers. Some had two lovers on either side, some had one lover all to themselves, and some stood together in groups, talking amongst themselves, all completely absorbed in their love.

Everything was so perfect. If someone accidentally wandered into this place and didn't feel the magic in the air, their first reaction would probably be that they had fallen into a higher plane rather than a lower plane.

These things may be able to deceive mortals, but they cannot deceive Maginot.

K's gaze pierced through the demons' disguises. The obedient demons were filled with a lustful desire for the mortal in their arms, seemingly impatient for it to completely fall.

K heard sounds coming from inside the soundproof marble building: wails, pleas for mercy, and agony. Countless mortals and recently deceased souls were being tortured and tormented.

K's nose caught a whiff of decay and stench hidden beneath the fragrance; countless corpses and flesh were being used as fertilizer, buried in distant farmland.

Those diligent farmers were slaves, whether they were supplicants or mortals, all working tirelessly day and night, infusing their souls into the soil to produce even more perfect crops.

In an even more powerful perception, countless fallen souls were wailing with pleasure, forming a grand melody that infused this plane and the Succubus Queen herself with immense power.

The petite succubus, accompanied by the unfazed Magenus, arrived before a vast palace with domed towers and skylight courtyards. A demon appeared through a portal, bowing respectfully to Magenus.

“Great Goddess, I will guide you on the way ahead.”

The Radiant Sisters are similar in role to the first generation of priests of Maginus, helping the Succubus Queen handle various matters. However, they cannot delegate too much power like Maginus. Each Radiant Sister may have her own ambitions, after all, they are demons.

Entering the hall without doors, the Succubus Queen was already waiting on her throne. Upon seeing Maginus arrive, she chuckled and said, "Let's set off now? The fighting has already begun at the front."

"Then let's go."

Maginus had absolutely no intention of interfering with the environment of the abyss, but the Succubus Queen covered her mouth and asked, "What do you think of my kingdom?"

"What if, years from now, when I have the power, I decide to deal with the entire lower plane?"

The Succubus Queen smiled, raised her hand and snapped her fingers, summoning the two to the front lines of the war. This was the 422nd floor of the Abyss, the domain of Yenogu.

A large number of demons appeared on the plains, forming three factions: one with many ghouls and gnolls, another with many succubi, and the third occupied by minotaurs.

Compared to the Abyss Plane, which is beautiful like an oil painting, the plane controlled by Yenogu is more in line with everyone's stereotype of the Abyss: bloody, chaotic, and full of the smell of sulfur.

This attack was spearheaded by the Succubus Queen, who summoned the Tauren King, who had a grudge against Yenogu, to join the campaign. Since the Queen had launched a surprise attack on the Gnolls while they were severely injured by Maginus, her forces had already established a firm foothold in this plane.

Large numbers of demons clashed and collided with each other. The low-level demons fought wildly, losing track of which faction they were on. Blood splattered all over the ground, and in the blood pools of each faction, a steady stream of troops continued to emerge.

It's not just this plane; the forces from the original planes of the Minotaur King and the Succubus Queen are also being transferred. Low-level demons are just consumables, and they don't care at all.

"What do you want me to do, and why did you use such a secretive method to call me here? Are you planning to have me behead that jackal? I can't do that."

After observing the battlefield situation, Maginus stated that he could not possibly confront the Gnoll King head-on, to which Mecanshite immediately waved his hand:

"No, of course I don't want you to fight the Gnoll King to the death. I just hope you can oversee the battle. If other demon lords get involved, please force them to retreat."

Everyone has the possibility of seeking outside help. If a fourth force is invited by the King of the Gnolls, the Succubus Queen and the King of the Minotaur will inevitably choose to retreat if they feel that the benefits outweigh the losses.

This is the real reason why Mecanshite invited K over; it's like having a legendary figure oversee the war in the prime material plane, so that both sides can participate but not get involved.

"Row."

Maginus agreed to the request, staring at the abyss battlefield, showing no intention of drawing upon the power of faith.

Chapter 761 Unable to be Completely Defeat

The demons of the bottomless abyss waged a great war, and their acts of war and death naturally provided Maginus with a great deal of faith.

But this energy is "toxic." This is the abyss, the bottomless abyss, which is the greatest "god." Maginus wouldn't gamble on whether the abyss has added something else to the energy of a demon's death.

If Maginus absorbs them, there is a high probability that he will inevitably lean towards chaos and evil, so it's best to be careful.

Chains ripped out lungs, claws tore through chests, fists crushed skulls...

A scene of rage, savagery, and chaos—the constant battles of demons—came into Maginus's eyes. The Abyss was no match for the Prime Material Plane.

Demons that are summoned rather than called upon, and who die in the material plane, can be resurrected in the abyss as long as their souls are not bound. But once they die in the abyss, they are truly dead.

Unless a god or the panconscious of the abyss intervenes to revive them, there is no other way to recall them, not even with a powerful full resurrection spell.

Even so, the demons still charged forward fearlessly. Only some of the lower-ranking demons had a fear of death. Once caught in the melee, their emotions were swept up and they no longer feared death.

Watching the war unfold, the gnoll cavalry suddenly emerged from the lingering red mist on the flank, howling as they launched an attack on the succubus queen's army, quickly breaking through the defenses and piercing into the ranks like sharp knives.

They weren't riding horses, but rather more powerful dire wolves. Orcs sometimes kept these powerful monsters; it looked like wolves riding wolves, but it was actually similar to humans riding gorillas.

Moreover, gnolls don't care whether they're sitting with their own kind. It's said that there's a special kind of small, thin gnoll in the Abyss who sits behind the strongest gnoll leader as his strategist, forming a kind of symbiotic relationship.

"It looks like you're about to lose."

"Don't worry, it's impossible. How could those stupid gnolls, who are as dumb as pigs, possibly compare to us succubi when it comes to scheming and trickery?"

Mechanus chuckled and leaned to one side as if to rest her head on Maginus's shoulder. The goddess immediately used her life force to create a cushion to shield her body, and then used crystals to form a seat, gesturing for her to sit down.

Looking into the distance, a powerful minotaur was also overseeing the battle. Sensing the gaze of the Goddess of Death, it turned its head and nodded warily.

That's probably the King of the Minos. He's incredibly powerful, and he could probably tear the Succubus Queen apart in a fight, provided he can resist her charms.

"Speaking of which, even the two of you demon lords working together couldn't defeat the Gnoll King? As far as I know, all three of you are connected to some powerful being, right? Could it be that you couldn't cooperate fully?"

Maginus spoke casually, revealing her deep curiosity about the secrets of the Abyss. She had witnessed the strength of the Gnoll King, who was indeed formidable, but if the Succubus Queen and the Minotaur King truly cooperated, they would absolutely be able to defeat and kill the Gnolls.

According to the records of the legendary mage, the gnolls are backed by the figure of the ancient demon storm lord of Obiris, the succubus by the figure of the demon prince, and the minotaur by the figure of the ancient demon lord Cangye.

These guys have been appearing much less frequently lately, judging from the infinite multiverse. It's unclear whether they're temporarily dead or in seclusion. They're unlikely to be completely dead; as long as they're useful to the Abyss, the Abyss can pull them up—it's just a matter of time.

"The inability to fully cooperate is one of the reasons."

The succubus queen made no secret of it, and on the blood-soaked bed created by Maginus, she swung her barbed tail: "Another reason is that we'd better just defeat the gnoll king, rather than kill him outright, this demon lord."

"A bottomless abyss..."

The Abyss itself can be considered an extremely powerful god, and all demon lords and evil gods residing within it can be considered its subjects.

Some scholars have suggested that its desire is to devour all planes and drag all living beings from all planes into the blood and fire caused by chaos.

Fortunately, its consciousness is not clear. Its own chaos causes its people to fight endlessly, but it is unable to completely determine the ultimate strongman. This strengthens the covetous eyes of Purgatory and the Lord of Demons, and the world has not completely fallen into chaos.

The plane where the continent of Noir is located is very strong, and order and goodness are becoming the mainstream, which is also what the general consciousness of this prime material plane is willing to see. But it's hard to say about other planes.

According to the legendary mage's exploration book, in some places the prime material plane is being constantly corroded by lower planes, lacking the ability to resist, and thus becoming increasingly corrupt.

Some researchers even speculate that these planes of the bottomless abyss are constructed from the prime material planes that have been completely corroded and devoured, which is why it is impossible to determine exactly how many planes there are in the abyss.

When the conversation turned to a secret and dangerous topic, Maginus, who had not yet become a true god and was still in someone else's body, stopped talking, admiring the war waged by millions of demons before him, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

War and death were being stirred up. The succubus queen sensed the fluctuations in her emotions, smiled, picked up a pipe, lit a pipe made from her soul, and took a deep drag:

“Oh, Lady of the Dead, Lady Maginos, why do you not follow your desires? You are the embodiment of death and war, and you are meant to be evil.”

"The master of war is someone else; I control the process of death, not the killing or the undead."

Maginus offered a rational analysis, but the Succubus Queen seemed even more interested: "So why not fall into evil? Once you fall into evil, you can instantly gain even greater power, not just divine power, but also power from the abyss."

"In this way, the dead killings and fears will only be suppressed by you and unable to rise again."

“Because I control the power, not the power controls me,” Maginus completely ignored the succubus queen’s whispers, which were utterly useless against her.

As the two were talking, the battlefield scene below changed again. The succubus army, which had been advancing single-handedly, quickly regrouped, and the minotaur army took the lead at the front. The gnoll spearhead team that had broken in was surrounded and gradually wiped out by the numerous succubus demons.

Compared to other chaotic groups, the demons under the Succubus Queen's command actually possessed a degree of "order"—not much, but enough.

Chapter 762 Unable to attend to the main battlefield

A month later.

The war continues unabated. Demons die every moment, and new demons join every moment. The number of demons on the field is slowly decreasing, and you can't even tell if you're not careful.
