The more powerful he becomes, the crazier he becomes. By the end of his reign, Abraham, the God of Disaster, has completely lost his humanity, but he has also failed to obtain the ideal divinity. He can only be dominated by animal nature driven by instinct and desire, and has become a beast.
A beast for strength, a slave to self.
"The fanatical pursuit of power is like the drug addicts who could be seen everywhere in the largest city on the peninsula two centuries ago." Feir raised his head, his deep eyes seemed to penetrate the dark sky, and saw the poppy that was once nourished by blood.
Flowers dyed the city of flesh and bone red: "I thought I could restrain myself, but in the end I just fell deeper and deeper. If we say at the beginning, the original intention of these seven disciples was indeed to repel powerful enemies and protect the hard-won victory of the human race.
Home, then in the end, they are driven by their own desires and gradually fall into the abyss. They know that doing so will only make themselves crazier, but they are unable to escape."
It was difficult for Ringer to judge this distant and ancient history, although he knew that Constantine, Zoroaster, Abraham and Paimon were the founders of the four ancient empires of mankind, and these four empires were almost the origin of human civilization.
, but our understanding of them is limited to cold words in history books, just like treating Saint Tumi as a myth, out of reach.
He paid more attention to the subsequent plot: "So, did they succeed?"
"Success? Maybe." Feier's answer seemed ambiguous, but soon everyone would understand why she said this: "Strengthening one's magic power by devouring extraordinary beings of the same path. This method is indeed effective. Success
Helped the seven disciples to transcend the limitations of Sequence 1 and become more powerful than all the gods in the world; however, it cannot be said that they have reached the height of young queen's power, but a state between the two. Perhaps Sequence can be used
0 to define."
"The price is - their erosion has become more serious, and they have completely lost their rationality as humans. This is also a matter of course. After all, they have devoured countless corpses of the same kind. While assimilating their magic power, they also
They have endured the filth and impurity of these souls. If everyone's soul has a color, then what they did is equivalent to pouring countless paints on their souls, completely covering the original color."
There was a chilling horror in Feier's calm tone: "General extraordinary beings are only eroded, and their souls can generally maintain their original appearance. Therefore, as long as they do not surrender to self-destruction, they still have some sanity as human beings; and
For this state where the soul is completely changed and the mind is completely lost, it is no longer appropriate to use erosion to describe it. Therefore, after conducting in-depth research on this phenomenon, colleagues from the First Research Department chose an appropriate term for it.
Name: pollution."
Feier said word for word: "Their souls have been polluted, and they can no longer be purified."
Everyone was silent, feeling a little ridiculous and ironic.
Obviously he made this choice in order to get rid of the erosion, but he ended up falling into deeper pollution... If he hadn't known that the potion system originated from the power of royal power given by the girls, Ringer would have really doubted whether the will of the world was against human beings.
There is some kind of malicious intent, which not only makes them weak by nature, but also lays a cruel trap for them to become stronger. It is like telling them to either endure their weakness or accept their madness. In addition,
, there is no third way to choose.
At the same time, I also felt more deeply how great the Great Master Merlin was who created the magic system and saved future generations of magicians from the suffering of erosion. He, like Saint Toumi, changed the mysterious history of mankind.
The great sage is destined to leave a glorious mark in this unknown history.
Lin Ge suddenly thought about something deeper.
According to Alice, Archmage Merlin was also a philosopher from the earth world. He established a modern magic seminar and launched a war to expel and even eliminate extraordinary beings, making the magic system the mainstream system in the Western Continent until it was later replaced by the Steam Cult.
The magic system controlled by the group was replaced. In the war where the magic system replaced the magic system, a group of great magicians, including the Archmage Merlin, fell silent collectively and never showed up. In the end, the Modern Magic Research Society simply betrayed
The magician camp betrayed their intelligence, causing the magicians to be completely defeated in the Ending Wild War. Helmut, the kingdom's first minister of war affairs who established a complete magic army system and launched this war, was also from Earth.
Philosopher... In this way, everything is actually the result of the secret guidance of the witch association? They have been promoting changes in the power system of the mysterious world, making it more common, more stable, and safer.
And is the original intention of the change related to the "era of catastrophe" set off by Abraham and other disciples that left countless people numb and dead?
This question is destined not to be answered now, because Feier will continue to tell this story——
"In the final battle between the Imperial United Army and the Dark Dragon Tide, the seven disciples teamed up to defeat the ancient gods of the elven camp and won the war. However, their spirituality was polluted and their spirits were completely crazy.
After the battle, they lost their minds and slaughtered every living thing in sight regardless of friend or foe, destroying mountains, rivers, mountains, city-states, villages... and even attacking each other, trying to devour each other."
Feir commented very accurately: "It's like a crazy beast biting its prey like crazy. When they are very hungry, they will stretch out their fangs to their companions. The death and disaster they caused is even worse than that of Mercantius."
Be serious."
When Alice heard another strange name appear in the story, her head began to hurt, and she couldn't remember it clearly: "Stop, stop, who is Mercantius?"
"He is also a disciple of Saint Tomi. Remember what I said before. After receiving the sacred artifacts presented by the Queens, Saint Tomi and his thirteen disciples began to study this power. When the four empires were established,
We have become twelve disciples, but you seem to have never noticed where the missing disciple has gone."
When Feier said this, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was proud that his language trap had not been discovered: "The answer is that as a pioneer in the path of inquiry, he used himself as an experimental subject to conduct fourteen pieces of research.
The [Crimson Sword], which symbolizes the power of 'dispute' in the holy weapon, fused with himself and gained great power as he wished. However, because he could not bear the power, he went berserk, lost his mind and fell into madness. He massacred innocent people.
, burned Ardes, the land of all souls, to ashes with crimson flames. He woke up after three days and three nights, felt pain for the crimes he had committed, and went into self-exile. It was his loss of control that made Saint Tomi
Realizing the shortcomings of the power of kings for humans, he named it erosion. In this way, Mecanthus can be regarded as the first erosion in the mysterious history of mankind. Later, some classics mentioned this disciple as
For: Crimson Disaster."
After briefly explaining the identity and experience of Mercantius, she got back to the topic: "The seven saints - in the parlance of the time, the seven gods. Their indiscriminate slaughter and destruction caused huge disasters and brought great disaster to this country.
The land suffered during the war brought more trauma. Some tried to awaken the gods, but failed and were devoured; others believed that the gods had fallen into madness, lost their minds and could never recover, and tried to seize the power of the empire.
, calling on others to rebel against the gods; there are also some extraordinary beings and Chaos believers who were oppressed in the Dark Ages who launched an uprising in an attempt to subvert the rule of the empire and avenge the suffering they had suffered. In this way, the four major empires have just ended a war
The unprecedented war did not usher in the expected peace and glory, but instead fell into a more chaotic war. The situation became increasingly fierce, and almost no one could stop the gods from fighting each other. Mountains were pushed down, rivers were cut off, and the earth was torn apart.
, the city-state is in pieces, this is the next step after the cataclysm: a divine change."
"At such a critical moment, someone asked St. Thumi in the Hermitage of All Saints Gospel for help. St. Tumi, who was studying the nature of royal power and trying to find a way to resist erosion, knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world. Hearing that
The incident caused panic, and he hurriedly brought the remaining five disciples to come forward to try to prevent the disaster from spreading. However, at this time, the Chaos believers held the resentment of having been persecuted, slaughtered, and even used as nourishment to believe in the Red Dragon Witch.
Led by the 'Red Order', they launched an uprising against the rule of the empire, doubled the methods used to harm themselves, even implicated innocent people, created more blood and death, and held sacrifices with the souls of the dead.
.This ritual of creating chaos, strife and disaster seems to be essentially the same as the power of the Chaos Kingship, so to some extent it resonates with the Chaos Girls who should be isolated from the world and silently maintain the operation of the law.
It made them temporarily divert their attention and focus on the distant human world."
"At this moment, the isolation between the Heavenly Temple and the human world was broken. The girls in charge of the royal power became aware of the existence of the planet under their feet for the first time, and recalled the man who came here to seek guidance from them. He
After bringing the power of the royal power back, did they help their compatriots gain the power to protect themselves as they wished? Do you still remember the agreement at that time? The young queens want to know the answer to the question."
"But the girls of order have become accustomed to living in isolation and follow the instructions left by the goddess and are unwilling to leave their resting homes; while the girls of chaos have a more casual personality and become interested in the distant world, so they left heaven one after another.
They came to the world to see how the mortals who received their gifts are now developing."
"Then, what did they see?"
Having said this, the smile on Feier's face slowly disappeared. For this story, she is now a bystander and a narrator, but a long, long time ago, she was a personal experiencer. She did not mention herself in detail
What she saw with her eyes at that time, using only a few simple words, made people feel her disappointment and anger: "War and death, disaster and fire, ruins and wreckage, withering and decay, numbness and mourning, wailing"
