In the dungeon of the Magic City, Rhodes and a woman wearing a gorgeous veil were standing in front of a huge one-way mirror made by the master alchemist, staring at the Holy Inquisition Angel imprisoned behind the mirror.
"Can your realm change the mind of the Holy Angel?"
Looking at the resolute-looking Holy Judgment Angel in the mirror, Rhodes couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then asked the woman beside him. The woman in the gauze has a delicate appearance. Just one glance at her would make an ordinary person fall under her charm forever and become a walking corpse that only obeys the orders of that woman. However, Rhode's eyes were unusually calm and there was no trace of emotion in his eyes. Affected by that woman's power.
"His heart is as hard as iron, but even steel that has been tempered a hundred times will gradually rust away day after day, and eventually lose its original appearance." Faced with Rhodes' inquiry, the woman just answered lightly and looked at him. There was quite a bit of interest in the eyes of the Holy Angel. Being able to capture the heart of such a powerful hero was also a big challenge for her.
"However, his will is indeed beyond my imagination. It will take me time, a long time, to use the power of the field of love to change his mind little by little... Let me calculate carefully. According to his current performance Judging from the state in which he came out and his abilities in the field of love, it will take me about nine hundred years to make him fall in love with me completely."
Looking at the resolute-looking Holy Judgment Angel, Cecia, who was invited by Rhodes, slowly said that as the King of Desire, she can use the power of the Domain of Love to completely charm the minds of other creatures. However, that charm , but it takes time for it to gradually take effect. When facing a powerful creature with a firm mind, that time may take a long, long time.
"Nine hundred years? According to the information that Prophet Messiga told me, it seems that there is not nine hundred years until you become the King of Lust, right?" As if thinking of something, Rhodes couldn't help but frown.
The power of the Domain of Love can only be effective on creatures of a different gender than one's own. In other words, the Domain of Love obtained by Rhodes in the Source of Sin Karma cannot have any effect on Isaac, and it can only be used on the King of Lust. Only in the realm of love can we change the mind of the Holy Judgment Angel.
The answer he got from Cecia made Rhodes feel slightly happy, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel worried. What he was happy about was that if the King of Lust was given enough time, the realm of love in her could indeed completely change Isaac. What worries me is that the time is too long. When hundreds of years pass, the Doomsday War will be over long ago, and there will be no help for Rhodes now.
"It's a blessing that the Domain of Love can take effect. It's not an easy task to charm a creature like the Archangel whose strength is close to that of a demigod. Otherwise, you'd better think of other ways."
As if she sensed Rhode's dissatisfaction, Chessia just let out a soft snort. She was likely to leave immediately if Rhode was dissatisfied. Seeing this, Rhode could only change her words:
"Well, it is indeed a happy news that the Domain of Love can take effect. I will not continue to force anything. But according to my understanding of the Domain of Love, you should be able to use various methods to change the time it takes effect. It’s better to do it in advance.”
In Rhode's memory, the time given by the Domain of Love is just the default time to do nothing. Even if Chesia does nothing and just stands in front of the Holy Judgment Angel for nine hundred years, she can Let the Holy Judgment Angel fall in love with himself completely, and that is the power that belongs to the field of love.
However, the reason why that time is the default time is because it represents the longest time for the Domain of Love to be in effect, and during this time, Cecia can still use various other means to completely shorten the time required. , even if it is shortened to within a year, Rhodes will not find it strange, because before, Rhodes used the power of the field of love to greatly shorten the default time. He believed that Chessia, the king of lust, This is the only thing that can be done.
Faced with Rhodes' request, Cecia thought for a while and finally shook her head: "It is not easy to do that. If you want to significantly shorten the time required, the state of the Holy Angel is particularly important, which requires me to interact with it in various ways. , maybe I need to ask you to release him from prison, and I also need many undead to cooperate with my actions, can you do that?"
Listening to Chesia's request, Rhodes couldn't help but feel a little bit embarrassed. He absolutely couldn't release the Holy Angel with confidence. Destiny was always thinking of using him to deal with him, so that more and more creatures would be involved. In Cecia's plan, fate has more chances to take advantage of the chaos to succeed. After all, only heroes can escape the control of fate. All other creatures who are not heroes must obey the instructions of fate in every move, even if Rhodes' Undead is no exception.
The Holy Angel cannot be released from prison with confidence. Even Cecia, who is in charge of the Domain of Love, cannot shorten the time it takes for the Holy Angel to fall in love with her, which is why Rhodes feels helpless.
However, as if he remembered something, Rhodes also looked a little thoughtful. The obstacle currently plaguing the effectiveness of King Lust's power is undoubtedly the long period of time. As far as Rhodes knows, there seems to be a power in the world that can completely control time. That power belongs to Moriel's time domain.
The realm of time, as one of the two most powerful realms in the world, is far more powerful than the realm of love in Chesia. It can be said that as long as you completely master the power of the realm of time, there is nothing you can't do. .
Once upon a time, when Moriel was Rhodes' enemy, she once forced Rhodes into a deep desperate situation. Facing the existence that could manipulate time, even Rhodes didn't know what to do. Fortunately, everything now It's all over, and time is on Rhode's side.
"If we use the power of the Time Domain, we might be able to shorten the time significantly... But Moriel is not in good condition right now, and the Time Domain is still in the process of cultivation."
As if he thought of something, Rhodes couldn't help but coughed. His vigorous use of the Time Arrow, although he rose to the peak of the legend in one fell swoop, also made Moriel's time domain fall into weakness, and she was temporarily unable to return to her original state. If you use it like that, you have to wait for her to recover slowly.
Apart from the Time Realm, there is almost no way to shorten the time the Love Realm takes effect and thus change Isaac's will. However, after Rhodes thought carefully, there seems to be a way. The Spiritual Element Monarch seems to have some unique method that can greatly speed up other people's thinking, thereby extending the ability to perceive time.
Under the influence of Paris's secret method, maybe only a few seconds have passed in the real world, but in the perception of the secret method object, his world seems to have passed for hundreds of years, and during these hundreds of years, he has He can neither speak nor move his body, because the time in the outside world is only a few seconds, and the only thing he can do is to be unable to move despite hundreds of years of thinking.
Rhodes had experienced the power of that secret method before. The previous generation of Holy Judgment Angel Andor, it was under the influence of Paris' secret method and the collapse of his own faith that he was successfully affected by Rhodes' Domain of Love. In this way, he was filled with the energy of devotion in one fell swoop and became a member of Rhodes' men.
If we can get Paris's secret method, we may be able to greatly shorten the time it takes to fill Isaac's head with the energy of love. This is also the most feasible method that Rhodes knows so far, but this method also exists. There is a huge problem, that is, the Spiritual Elemental Monarch is not a good person, and her relationship with the other elemental monarchs is not good either. It is almost impossible for Rhodes to get her help.
As the strongest spiritual elemental person in history, Paris is deliberately trying to seize the power that belongs to the true elemental monarch. If Rhodes, who is the air elemental monarch at the moment, meets her, I am afraid nothing good will happen. In the end, In the end, I'm afraid it will also end in a fight between the two.
Recalling what I saw last time in the plane of spirit and magic, Paris, as the master of spiritual elements, seemed not to be restless, but used some kind of power to control all the chapter demons in the void. Looking at her posture, it seemed that She is afraid that she is also preparing to interfere in the Doomsday War, and she is afraid that she will not be able to hand over her secret method to Rhodes easily. Unless Rhodes is willing to exchange the authority of the Elemental Lord, she will only be hostile to Rhodes. manner.
He shook his head. Apart from that, Rhodes really had no other good way to shorten the time required by King of Lust. It seemed that using the power of King of Lust to control Isaac was just a backup option. He still had to think of other options. Only in this way can we take advantage of Isaac's unique heroic abilities.
Rhodes is also worried about the King of Lust. When she truly uses the power of the Domain of Love to control Isaac, she may no longer follow Rhodes' advice and use that power on her own. It may not be a good thing to hand over the heroic expertise of anyone in the world to the irrational King of Desire.
Looking at Chessia who was looking at Isaac, Rhodes asked slowly: "Speaking of which, I didn't see the beast with you. His power is too strong, even a demigod has to deal with it." I’m full of fear and I can’t let him wander around in the Magic City.”
Thinking of the power of that ancient hero, Rhodes couldn't help but shook his head. That was definitely the most unreasonable hero he had ever seen. The heroic will of a beast was probably even worse than that of the Holy Judgment Angel currently imprisoned in the prison. Strong.
With the blessing of the hero's will, Isaac can sacrifice himself in exchange for anyone in the world to be silent with him. However, the beast's heroic skills make him invincible, and he will not hesitate to kill everyone in the world to prove his love. .
Thinking of this, Rhodes couldn't help but glance at Chessia. He didn't know what the King of Lust had done to make the beast be so devoted to her. Maybe that was the real power in the realm of love.
Hearing Rhodes mention the beasts, Cecia also had a hint of impatience in her expression. Rhodes clearly remembered her attitude towards the beasts. It was an attitude full of disgust and hostility, which could make her conquer the beasts again. Beast, Rhodes didn't know how much effort he put into it.
"You mean Tularion? He originally wanted to come to the prison with me to see the Holy Angel imprisoned here, but for some reason, he suddenly changed his mind and went to another location alone. , I don’t want to know what he is thinking.”
Speaking of the beast, Cecia curled her lips and said that if Rhodes hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have wanted to talk about the paranoid hero.
"Really..." Rhodes nodded and did not ask any more questions on this point.
While the two were talking, the door of Isaac's prison suddenly opened, and the person who walked in was not a heavily armed undead guard, but a girl who didn't look very old.
After seeing Isaac in prison, the girl's expression was full of worry. She didn't understand what Isaac had done to be imprisoned here by the Lord of the Undead, but the concern in her eyes was unspoken. metaphorical.
Even Isaac, who was imprisoned here and always looked solemn and silent, seemed to be slightly touched after seeing the girl who came to visit. It seems that the girl's visit was to him, It was also something he cared about very much.
Behind the huge one-way mirror, Rhodes looked at the scene in front of him calmly. Asking Irene to visit her every day was also part of his plan. The purpose was to gradually control the Holy Judgment Angel, but what happened in front of him Judging from the situation, the effect of this seems to be better than Rhodes expected.
Even the King of Lust on the side couldn't help but show a bit of interest when he saw the visiting girl. Rhodes on the side could clearly see that Chessia's bright eyes were turning. There was a wave of light, as if he was having some idea in his mind.
The visit did not last too long. Under Rhode's order, the daily visit could only last for a very short time. The loyal undead guards carried out Rhode's order meticulously, and when the time was up, they would not be jailed. If the two of them had any extra free time, they immediately took Eileen out and asked her to leave this place.
Outside the prison, it was Rhodes' most trusted sister, Rowling, who was responsible for leading Irene here. As if feeling the sight, Rowling knew that Rhodes was in a sealed cell next to Isaac, obviously observing all of this silently, so she no longer meant to disturb him, and instead led Eileen to leave together.
Seeing all the things that happened in the prison, it wasn't until Irene left completely that Cecia slowly said, "I seem to know how to control that angel."
Listening to what Cecia said, Rhodes looked interested, and then looked over, wanting to see what kind of solution the King of Lust would come up with.
