The God of the Abyss had opened up the abyss and heaven in the last era. Legend has it that his lower body stood in the abyss and his upper body was placed in heaven, turning his body into a bridge.

The image of angels actually comes from the Abyss Cult. Their earliest duty is to communicate between heaven and the abyss, and the wings on their backs are flesh and blood sacred vessels that penetrate the barrier of nothingness. 2

But the concept of "angel" is not original to Abyss. It specifically refers to messengers, special envoys, and beings who perform some special tasks assigned by God. They are the most loyal servants of God.

The description of him in "Symmetra" is: Angels are the carriers of will created by God.

Here, order even separates the "angels" directly from the group of intelligent life forms, which are countless lower level than the ferocious beasts being ruled. They are...artifacts.1

The existence of the group of "angels" is the link between God and theistic religions, but it can also illustrate from the side that God and theistic religions are not a natural integrated relationship in habitual cognition.

Pu'er once ridiculed Kevin and asked him why he didn't start a small church of his own for fun. Even if it didn't develop into a big church, he might search and search for a few small remnants.

Kevin’s answer is: Theistic religion is also a restriction on God.1

Just like the emperor and his own bureaucracy, they jointly manage and rule the empire, but there are often contradictions and checks and balances between them.2

The example at hand is the fundamentalist group within the Cult of Kosmos. They clearly insist on the purest faith and following of the God of Order, but at this time they are shady existences within the Cult of Kosmos.

Why does the Principle God Religion conduct research on the behavior patterns of "gods"? In essence, it is to explore the most reasonable way for the existence of "gods", which is what Karen saw when he "purified the servants of God". With his eyes closed,

The "mechanical" mode of walking among the rules and responding to believers' prayers with a wave of the hand.

But "angels" are, after all, a product of the last era. With the disappearance of the gods in this era, angels will also disappear, just like if the sun disappears, there will be no sunrise and sunset.

But now, underneath, there is a person lying. The most important thing is that Karen can clearly feel that he... is alive!

He is not a corpse, he is alive. Although he is very broken, like a seriously injured person who has just been carried off an ancient battlefield, he is indeed not dead.

The most direct proof is that he can be affected by Rax copper coins.

So, what does this mean?

Even living angels have appeared, so is the return of the gods really approaching?

Karen is still continuing to try to lower his consciousness. He is here to investigate, and naturally hopes to obtain more information, so as to provide more reference for handling the next incident.

The angel found in the Venn region, even though it looks "like" the being on the abyss mural, but he... well, he is still from the Cult of Kosmos. 2

Anyway, Karen has strong confidence in the religious chauvinism of the Cult of Kosmos.5

In addition, the existence of this angel is likely to contain the secret of the return of the gods, and its value can no longer be measured by points. Which divine religion can master more information about the return of the gods, then it can receive it.

Take more initiative in the great changes that are coming.

However, what Karen didn't know, or in other words, what Karen didn't have time to notice, was that in the suite where his body was located, just diagonally above his back, a figure had slowly emerged.

This is not hiding, nor is it an assassination. When he wants to appear here, he appears here.

The black wings of the seraph were broken and withered, and in his eyes, only the darkness remained invisible.

He raised his hand, and a spear appeared in his hand, with the tip pointed at Karen's back.

Everything happened quietly. Karen made a mistake...Don't look directly at God. Angels are the carriers of God's will.

Karen used her consciousness to follow the thread, and with the help of the power of the chain of order, penetrated all the obstacles arranged by the abyss here. It seemed to be the best way to pry, but in fact... l

Just like when the Church of Kosmos holds a meeting, even if the high-ranking priests are sitting in the front row, the low-ranking priests in the back row do not dare to use their consciousness to launch any exploration, because this means the most direct offense!

Karen's method was actually an offense to this angel, especially since he was still alive.

He was unable to move and his life was in danger. Otherwise, the Abyss Cult would not have taken huge risks to nourish him in York City. However, the way angels killed people was not limited to frontal battles.

The tip of the spear stabbed Karen's back. Suddenly, Karen finally noticed something. His consciousness began to recover, but a terrible suction force suddenly appeared in the sarcophagus, and his consciousness was forcibly pulled away.

.

In the room above, the tip of the gun was blocked just a slap away from Karen's back.

Because behind Karen, the shadow of an old man appeared, his hand holding a spear.

At this time, the two sides entered a state of wrestling, which was a confrontation under a special medium of existence. One upheld the belief of God, and the other condensed fragments of the Godhead;

Obviously, the angel had no way to break through the protection from Dis and carry out this sneak attack on Karen that should have been successful. 2

The angel's figure began to fade away, and although his eyes still couldn't capture the slightest sparkle, the corners of his mouth slightly curved.

He made a sound,

It's not a Markle language, but because it's a spiritual body, the "meaning" doesn't need to be conveyed through language.

He said:

"I'm hungry."2

The shadow of Dis continued to stand silently behind Karen. He had no self-will, only instinct, guarding the soul of his grandson.

final,

The angel's figure completely disappeared, as if he had never been here at all. This was indeed the case. Even if the most experienced Whip of Order investigators came to search this room, they would not be able to find any trace of his presence here.

Because this is a "fugue."

How can I leave footprints in reality where I have been in my dreams?

But this is not the end. This investigation was initiated by Karen himself, which is equivalent to actively selecting a special track mode. Next, he will naturally withstand counterattacks from the opponent on this track.

Below, the consciousness that should have been withdrawn was trapped, and a dark halo appeared, rapidly oppressing and penetrating.

Several of the high-level priests of the abyss who were originally guarding the core area opened their eyes at this time. They sensed some changes in the sarcophagus, but they could not detect them at all.

Because there were no signs of intruders and no substantial movements.

However, a fierce confrontation has already begun.

Karen now has the most decisive choice, which is to cut off the part of his consciousness that he has released. This will cause his soul to suffer great damage, and there is a high probability that he will have to sit in a wheelchair for another half month.

But Karen did not choose to do this, not because of fear of injury, but because of the influence of the copper coin. When the black mass appeared to swallow his consciousness completely, he continued to tell you very frankly that what he wanted was not only

That's all!

When a hungry person drools over a table of delicious food, even if he doesn't say he's hungry, you know what he wants to do next.

Karen continued to regain his consciousness and rushed forcefully. The area that was originally impossible to break through was actually knocked away.

This was done intentionally by the other party, to intimidate a small animal and then let the small animal run back to its own group so that he could follow him and have a feast.

When Karen's consciousness began to recover quickly, the other party also followed suit.

Are you coming? Okay,

You can come.

Karen didn't hesitate at all, he recovered quickly and decisively, and the opponent followed up very quickly.

When Karen's consciousness returned to her body and she opened her eyes, she saw a black spot mixed with the white chain of order taken back from the wooden box.

Like...dirty.

【God is the biggest source of pollution.】

The closer a being is to God, the more polluting it is.

The chain disappeared under Karen's feet, and the black spots disappeared immediately.

But the next moment, a black circle appeared between Karen's eyebrows, and a voice sounded from Karen's ear:

"What kind of body is this?" 2

From the sound, you can't tell his gender. Of course, angels themselves cannot breed. What gender is needed for crafts?

Karen held her forehead with the palm of her right hand and knelt down on one knee.

That voice revealed a sense of natural control: "I am very satisfied with your body, because it allows me to find the environment I was familiar with, and it suits me very well.·

However, the owner of the voice did not notice that Karen did not make much noise when she knelt down on one knee and landed on the ground, because Karen did not want to make too much physical movement to "wake up" the Priestess of the Abyss who was still doing her service.

.

"So, are you a body sacrifice offered by believers to me?"

The voice of the angel continued.

"I accept this sacrifice. I will swallow your soul and enter your body."

The black circles that originally existed only between the eyebrows began to spread rapidly, and dense black circles began to appear on Karen's body. These black circles began to rotate and shrink on their own as if they were alive.

Karen asked in a low voice, "Who the hell are you?"

"I don't know who I am, I only know what my mission is, and you will blend into my existence and burn heat for my mission."

The black halo covering the whole body began to be filled with color, and then quickly flowed back, impacting towards the center of the eyebrows.

It's like a barrier lake that has been accumulated has opened a hole.

"boom!"

With a roar, Karen's soul space was violently smashed open.

Seraphim,

Appeared in Karen's soul space. In front of him, standing was Dis.3 "Order...""

The angel seemed to be thinking about why the believers of the Abyss would prepare themselves a body protected by the elders of the God of Order.
To be continued...
