The fifty-sixth chapter of their own road (ten)
Although the abilities of the aliens Gassus ventured to find in various aspects are far from Isol's standards, it is quite satisfactory in terms of mind and nature.
Hicks was once a carefully cultivated apostle of the Four Pillars, but in the end, he not only became a god himself, but also made Edgar uneasy.
This alien man has no interest in power, has novel ideas and attaches great importance to life. Not only does he not favor humans, but he even failed to persuade Hicks twice in person. The most important thing is that he does not want to be a god. Based on this alone, Isol decided to let Link become his apostle.
In order to prevent it, Isol, who had no way out, was careful.
Nothingness is as terrible as death. If one is not done properly, it will create a madman who is even more terrifying than Hicks.
[You need to use yourself as a sacrifice to resist Hicks' erosion of life and the flow of life, just like what I am doing.]
Just like Gasos splitting his soul and Cahogo injected his desire, I also have to add shackles to him, and I cannot use life as a threat like Hicks.
If he hesitates, kill him on the spot!
If he regrets it, he will kill it on the spot!
Even if Gassus defies the law and finds it, even if he has achieved considerable results, it is not as important as the survival of the world. A madman like Hicks must not have a second one.
Uncle of the Pillar of Earth, Link was thinking about the erosion that could not even resist the Pillar of Earth. How long could he withstand?
No matter how much I insist on atheism, it is a world dominated by gods. Without the power of gods, I am just a mortal, no different from the thousands of creatures in the stream of life. I have no worries here, even if I die, no one will be sad and cry. It’s just a pity that after the arrangement for half a year, I have finally balanced the human kingdom of civil strife. If something happens at this time, I’m afraid the orcs who have just agreed to join the alliance will retreat again, and those barbarians who are called simple-minded are not stupid at all.
Link knew that his thoughts could not be hidden from Zhu. He was in Zhu's spiritual space, every move and every touch was under Zhu's nose. His bland temperament and thoughts that he did not worry about his life at all made Isol, who was secretly inspecting, could no longer bear it.
[Do you don’t have any pity for your life?]
[It's a lie to say that it doesn't matter. Any living creature with life will want to die? But birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable laws. I just need to live freely in my limited life.]
In the space of consciousness, all Link's thoughts are visible and cannot be faked, so Isol is even more confused. [Can you call it arbitrary without desire?]
[It is meaningful to dominate the world. Being extraordinary and becoming a saint is considered to be meaningless. It is more difficult to follow the original heart and not violate the principles. If you can do it, why can't you be proud of it?] It's not that you don't know what others say about yourself, Link doesn't mind others' evaluations anymore.
Is it not rare for people to live for those comments that are either praise or criticism? For a face? It is not rare for them to be finalized after death. People die, and it is meaningless to say it nicely or ugly.
Link is already satisfied that the original world is boring and has no ability to be a capable person. He can encounter strange things in another world to change his lifestyle.
Why do we have so much greed? This world is not the earth where humans stand at the top, so why bother seeking things that do not belong to us. So what if we try our best to win the gods? There is heaven outside of heaven. As strong as the first generation, there are laws and checks and balances. Just like the suppression and control of the material world by gods, there is no stronger system besides Edgar.
Thinking of this, Link couldn't help but argue for himself.
[I admit that I have no ambition, but isn't this exactly what the Four Pillars need? An apostle who has no ambition to be a god and will not disturb Edgar's peace even if he falls.] For example, Shuanghan, Link claimed that he was not as smart as the human being. His character who did not do anything to achieve his goal was the most likely to be taboo by his superiors. He was regarded as the confidant of the God of Death, in the eyes of Hicks, just a pawn that could be abandoned at will.
Perhaps, it also understood this truth and deliberately let water go when it encountered Frost and Han several times.
Without me as an opponent, Shuanghan's existence is even more dispensable.
[I roughly know what kind of person you are.] Isol's thoughts have just ended. A faint fluorescence lit up in the darkness, blurring out a familiar outline of Link.
The stag with two horns on its head is no longer white and sacred. It is like a sick beast that is dying. Its body is covered with dark spots of uneven sizes, and an unknown dead aura is emitting from these spots, making people scared.
[Use your proud heart and principles to accept the corrupted divine power. This is the first step to becoming my apostle.] The white deer bowed her head slightly, and her once glorious horns were withered and dark.
Is this a test...
Link was in a moment of trance.
I agree, whether I can bear it or not.
If you don’t agree, even if the pillar of the earth doesn’t care, you will never be able to gain its recognition.
It is not that I am greedy for the powerful power possessed by the triple incarnation, but that I am afraid that... I missed the opportunity to purify.
Like a book, Gonzalez's helpless but determined face drifted in his mind, passed the cavalry that charged towards death without hesitation, passed the ordinary people hiding behind the high walls, and finally frozen the dense sea of skeletons in the siege of Grantham.
Link has never thought of sacrificing himself for the world without hesitation, nor has he considered him an indispensable and important person, nor is he a savior. I just do it according to my own wishes.
Link's vague soul body showed a relief expression.
There is nothing to hesitate about. This is my choice. It is not a forced name by the pillar or a boost from the current situation. It is me who made the final decision. It is me who decided to take such a path.
Extending out his somewhat dissipated soul body, Link held the antlers of Isol's incarnation.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"No, I'm completely dominated..." Hull covered his face, and his forehead was leaping.
No matter how much I hate humans, it is the help from the outside world, and it just messed up like that...
Eris stared at Link's divine power that had completely become a pillar of the earth, and was also in tears.
I thought the new son of nature, like Hull, was not the real apostle of the Pillar of Earth, and could withstand the erosion of Isol, but I didn't expect to be assimilated so quickly. Or was the corruption of the Pillar of Earth that was so serious that it was not picky about food, and one was caught.
"Forget it, this is not your fault. Since Berfast, there has been no real apostle in the Pillar of Earth. It is reasonable to be impatient to absorb the boy. He cannot resist himself, and we cannot blame us..." As he was speaking, Hull suddenly changed his expression and pulled Eris and hurriedly exited the tree house.
The soul body, which was originally a human form, suddenly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, could no longer distinguish its original form.
"Is this... God is coming?" Feeling the sudden increase in divine breath, Eris was worried that the Pillars of Earth, which had become crazy, would do something crazy with the apostle he had just obtained.
Hull, who was inspired by the divine power of the Pillar of the Earth, directly appeared incarnation of Gasos, no longer had to answer. He was focused on Link, who was sturdy to break the tree house. At this moment, he was no longer a soul body, but truly possessed flesh//body, but he didn't know that he was an empty shell or retained his original consciousness.
The power of the pillar can only be exerted through the apostle. Gassus was worried that Isol would not be able to control himself after falling into madness, so he sent Hull, who was originally the Lord of the Wind Element and the Apostle of the Wind to take up his post. In recent years, in addition to the self-enclosure of the Earth Pillar, there are factors that cannot be exerted in it.
now……
This large amount of movement naturally attracted the attention of the elves and druids, and they gathered together.
"Go away!"
"Don't come over!"
Hull and Eris exclaimed at the same time, ordering everyone to be dispersed and the further they go, the better.
At the same time, Link's body finally stopped expanding and changing. What appeared in front of everyone was a familiar form - a giant deer that was pitch-black, with only a pair of big horns remaining with a faint whiteness.
For a moment, despair spread throughout the royal court.
The column was completely corroded...
Both the elves and the druids think so.
Ruiwen hurried back, covering her mouth, and was shocked by the scene in front of her and didn't know what to do.
"What are you panic!!" At the critical moment, Hull shouted loudly, calming the panicked elves and druids. "If the Pillar of the Earth was really completely corroded, you would have fallen along with it."
This sentence reminds everyone that their spiritual consciousness is still awake, neither crazy nor change, and is different from the Naga, a water that is secret or forced into. That is the true depravity, and no grass or tree can be missed wherever they pass.
"You mean..." Eris' eyes lit up, "The pillar has not been completely corroded?"
Hull stared at Link, who had completely transformed into the incarnation of the Earth Pillar. The antlers had not completely turned black. That was also the strongest point in the power of the Earth Pillar. Things should not have developed to the point where they were uncontrollable.
He said that, but Hull was not sure.
He also hoped that Isol would still retain a hint of soberness. If the pillar of the earth was really completely corrupt, not to mention the remaining creatures in this guardian land, even half of the western continent would be affected. The corruption of the pillar of the water made the entire northern continent soak in the sea. If it was the pillar of the earth... I am afraid that the disasters that descended were probably the same attributes. Compared with floods, earthquakes were more difficult to resist, and casualties were more serious. There was a new capital of humans on the ground, the largest city of Alicion, the southwest of night elves, and the orc tribes to the south, plus the scattered dwarves and dwarves. If they were all affected by the scattered souls, these souls fell into the hands of Hicks, and the remaining two pillars would probably be difficult to resist the erosion of life.
What should I do? The people from another world have obtained the incarnation and take action in the guardian land of the Earth Pillar. With Isol's protection, even if Irisken pulls the entire Glow Elf Clan to resist, there is no chance of winning.
The four hooves fell to the ground, and the deer-shaped incarnation Link pressed the big horn against the ground, not caring at all with his back facing Hull, who was ready to go. The slightly dim fluorescent light flashed, and then the ground trembled.
Hull's face turned pale. Did he think he was wrong?? (To be continued...)
