Above the increasingly gloomy sky, countless dark clouds roared and rolled in.
The dense blue thunder did not dissipate at all, but remained in the air as usual. It was like the veins of blood protruding under the skin; it was also like the dry and cracked earth during years of drought.
A wild storm rushed towards him, and Aiwass' long golden hair roared up and danced behind him, like a flag.
He stretched out his arms in front of him and tried to take another step, but he felt great resistance.
Cardinal Galatea, standing beside him, tilted her head slightly, her cold doll-like pupils looking at Aiwass calmly. Her long hair also flew back wildly.
Unknowingly, the two of them had left the team.
They had no intention of looking for the Amber of Light, but were interested in another thing.
Those who continued to follow the team had turned into illusions. Because of this, Galatea no longer needed to maintain the illusion.
"'Language' is the power of Weizhe before it is disenchanted."
Galatea squinted her eyes and looked up at the sky: "That is the power held by those who betrayed us in the past."
When writing was still controlled by the priestly class, it was a monopolized right of interpretation.
In an era without writing, poetry and song were both sacred. It was a kind of primitive beauty, and it was also a kind of "mystery".
"...Weizhe is the god of silence."
Aiwass said: "He must have seen something, so he chose to remain silent."
"I know," Galatea immediately replied, "and I know that it is the secret about the First Sun.
"Although Weizhe remained silent, he told the snake the secret."
【——The blind see me as black, the one who can see see me as blue and gold】
[——I am the intoxicating snake who gives knowledge, happiness and glory! If you want to worship me, you need to drink wine and the secret medicine I told my prophet until you are intoxicated]
Huan Tiansi's words from the past echoed in Aiwass's heart.
Knowledge……
Forbidden knowledge, intoxicating intoxicants, joy, and glory...
Aiwass stretched out his arms to block the storm, watched the thunder in the sky growing more and more, and frowned slightly.
...Before Huan Tiansi chose to cut himself off, he should have been a genuine savior.
Because of this, Sha Clock will teach him, and the Lord of Scale Feathers will become friends with him. Even the "silent" Weizhe will tell him the secrets he keeps... At that time, he must be walking on the road of salvation.
On the road of the world.
Until he chose to cut himself off.
Having lost his [dedication], he regretted the plans he had left behind in the past.
Aiwass didn't quite understand it before, but now with Aleister's memory, he can already understand what it feels like.
"I'm not a snake."
Aiwass suddenly said: "He has deviated from our path. And I am still on the path."
"I know."
Galatea sighed: "That's why I'm telling you this. Because I don't want you to lose... I don't want the one who wins in the end to be the lying snake. I don't know what he wants to do.
What, but whatever he was trying to do, I wanted to destroy it.
"——I am already the last Atlantean...if I can still be considered a human being.
"Your Majesty the Pope, I'm sorry that I can no longer dedicate everything. I am no longer a puppet, I have restored my memory... I have new responsibilities, I need to survive. Even if it is just as a recorder of history, as an Atlanta
Proof of the existence of the Thys. Therefore I will not be directly involved in your fight with the snake, but if I can help you elsewhere, I will be happy to do my best.
"I am no longer pure. So after this return trip, I will resign as cardinal."
Her voice was soft and cold, as if she was singing a melancholy song: "I want to return to the bottom of the sea... I want to see how many ruins of Atlantis are left."
Aiwass sighed and said in a gentle tone: "This is a good thing.
"You have found the meaning of your existence, haven't you? This can be regarded as a kind of dedication...not for others, but for 'continuation of civilization'. Forget about resigning, I will grant you an indefinite leave, you
Find a substitute. When you want to come back again, come back.
"...It's just that there are 'forbidden' things under the sea, so be careful."
"I know. Those things can't hurt me."
The girl with long snow-colored hair nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
After taking leave, her tone became much lighter. Her strange attitude of half vigilance and half trust towards Aiwass finally turned into pure goodwill.
Galatea pointed to the sky, as relaxed and romantic as looking at the stars in the summer night sky: "Look! The sun is dying."
In the direction she pointed, the thick curtain of dark clouds gradually dispersed.
Just like a magician lifting up a handkerchief to reveal the wonderful scene inside——
The previously blazing and huge sun had at least doubled in size at this moment.
The sun became extremely huge, but it could no longer radiate much light.
Its light at the moment is not even as good as the street lights on the street at night. Even if you look directly at it, you will not feel the glare. Compared to the sun, it is more like the moon.
And just then.
Above this sun, there are countless blue runes appearing——
They look like a vast ocean, or like holes seeping out of the moon's surface.
They gather together and form a ring on the sun.
The sun at this moment...
"...like, one eye?"
Galatea murmured in a low voice, a little confused.
After all, she had never seen this scene with her own eyes.
Not long after she left the Tower of Babel, the Tower was destroyed by lightning. She was also affected by the aftermath, lost consciousness, and even lost her life. However, her soul was rescued by her tribe and made into a Star Crystal as usual.
Every dead Atlantean will be made into an astral being - they don't want their souls to be crushed to pieces by the Source River after death, and they have no gods willing to protect them in the dream world, so they have to fend for themselves.
But when Galatea was awakened, the civilization of Atlantis had disappeared.
I don't know how long it was after the death of the Second Sun. The world had already entered eternal night, and even the "breast-bearing people" clan appeared.
Aiwass didn't reply.
He opened his eyes wide in shock——
...Because, he has seen those eyes.
That was when he was in Eagle Point Village, faced with the giant prince hanging upside down, and started Odin's trial!
At that time, the sky was just like it is now, filled with thunder and storms. A huge one-eye opened in the sky.
Just like the sun in front of you!
As the storm became more violent, countless thunder finally overflowed - violent thunder fell like rain, sweeping the entire land. One of the thunder fell straight into the Tower of Babel!
However, at this moment, a thin film of light suddenly appeared above the ninth floor of the Babel Tower, easily blocking the power of thunder.
At this time, azure runes continued to fill the surface of the sun, like azure iris. It became more and more like an eye, rather than a "sun" or a "moon".
Many stars that had always existed in the sky, but were obscured by the catastrophic scorching sun, were also lit up in sequence at this time——
The bright yellow halo spreads in all directions from the center of the eye.
The originally faint shining starlight became extremely bright at this moment.
Looking up, it turned out to be a vast star map!
Under the cover of the violent thunder and rain that seemed to destroy the world, bright yellow light pillars rose from the ground, reaching straight into the sky——
Every time a beam of light rises, a star in the sky suddenly shines brightly and then goes out.
