Chapter 1291 The real purpose of the annihilation believers
Other personnel searched this abandoned ancient house, and apart from the ruins of walls and corpses of cultists that could be seen everywhere, those crazy Lockmaton followers only left this one valuable trace.
A black and red evil altar.
The altar is not large, with a radius of about two meters. It is made of some indescribable mysterious material. This material looks like loose volcanic rock, but it is extremely hard and has a bone-deep chill. The altar is made of
The blood depicts twisted runes. These runes appear blurry on the black-red altar matrix. But if you stare carefully, the runes appear as if they have broken free from the table, making everyone who looks at it
People feel dizzy. Next to the altar, you can see two piles of ashes, human-shaped ashes.
The shape of the ashes makes people unable to help but have some creepy associations.
"...This is a substance from the depths of chaos, a filthy thing corroded by the dirty blood of Rock Marton." Karasius knelt down in front of the altar and touched the surface of the altar with his fingers with disgust.
, "Only those cultists who have become half-monsters can summon such things from nothingness through psychic rituals. No wonder they choose to settle here: the tearing point of Chaos is the weak spot on the border of Order. Here, they and Chaos
The world will become more connected, and even such evil things can be summoned directly from the chaotic world."
"What is this stand for?" Lily poked the edge of the altar with her paw curiously, "Is there blood on it?"
"The altar is just a medium, used to communicate with the dark power in chaos. They use living people as sacrifices," Karasius frowned and glanced at the two piles of humanoid ashes next to the altar. "These madmen, they probably used
Descendants of saints with the blood of the Holy Domain... This blood is enough to please Rock Marton, allowing the source of all evil to exert unimaginable power."
Hao Ren touched his chin, and he connected the clues: "They may have borrowed power from Rock Marton through this altar, and then used it to bind an 'artifact' that they cannot control."
"Artifact?" Karasius immediately raised his head, "What do you know?"
"Of course I know, that 'artifact' was the one they took from me." Hao Ren spread his hands and faced a stranger he had just met. He did not tell the truth rashly, "There were a pair of cultists who escaped.
Brother and sister named Willy and Lavinia, they were originally believers of Annihilation lurking in the aristocratic class of Talos. Later, they used a trick to steal a disk from me. They thought it was a 'disc of brilliance'."
Unexpectedly, after hearing these four words, the senior monk suddenly opened his eyes as if he had seen a ghost: "Glory Disc?! How come you have this sacred object in your hand? Is it really it!?"
"They 'think' that thing is the Glory Disk, I didn't say it was," Hao Ren shrugged, and asked curiously, "It sounds like this Glory Disk is a very important thing? What exactly is it?"
What can make these cultists create such a huge battle?"
There was a hesitant look on Carathius's face, as if he was considering whether this matter was a secret of the sanctuary, but before he could think clearly, he was patted on the arm by Lily next to him: "Uncle, just tell me, the landlord must have
Method!"
Calasius considered his health bar and the strength of the alpha wolf's hands, and immediately decided to tell the matter.
"The Radiant Disc is an ancient artifact that has been lost for thousands of years. It is said to be a key that can deflect and open the 'Reflection Realm' under the Asuman Holy Mountain, entering another level of this world. In ancient legends,
The 'Realm of Reflection' is also a secret path leading to the eternal prison that suppresses Rock Marton, but this secret path has been blocked by the divine power of the Goddess of Creation. Even if mortals can open it, they can only look at it from a distance and cannot get close."
"The prison where Rock Marton is held?" Hao Renxin said that things were pretty much what he had guessed, but his face still didn't show anything strange. "It doesn't mean that Rock Marton was torn apart by the security system left by the goddess when he escaped from prison for the first time.
Broken, are only its echoes left in the world?"
Karasius had a gloomy face, but what he was thinking about at the moment was the words that the "Shadow of Nightmare" said in a brief state of reason, which pointed to a chilling secret. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at his head
Wolf and Hao Ren glanced at each other: "What I am going to tell you next is one of the oldest secrets in the world. Even in the Holy Land, only the upper echelons of the Holy See have the right to know."
Upon hearing this, the female knight Tridis immediately took the initiative and said: "Then I should retreat first?"
"No need," Karasius sighed and waved his hand, "Secrets only have meaning to a specific person at a specific time. Looking at the current situation, I don't think there is any need to keep it a secret anymore. Lockma suddenly didn't
Not dead, never dead from the beginning."
Hao Ren had already guessed this before, so it wasn't surprising. Lily didn't think it was scary at all, and she had heard information about this from Calasius before, so she looked calm, but other than them
Outside, most of the people present showed expressions of shock and disbelief, including even some monks from the Holy Land.
Obviously, their level in the Sanctuary is not high enough to access this part of the secret.
Karasius coughed twice and simply said the matter in one breath: "The power of Rock Marton is unimaginable by mortals. Only the power of the Creation Goddess can suppress it, but it is only suppressed: the evil giant has never
When he truly dies, he just loses his body in the real world and is imprisoned in an eternal prison called the "Abyss of Oblivion" in the form of nightmares and negative energy. His spiritual body survives intact in that prison.
, rather than floating in fragments in the Sea of Karnos as told in mythology, this statement was originally just to appease believers, but now it has become the 'truth' that everyone in the secular world firmly believes in."
Hao Ren nodded silently, expressing his understanding of Karasius's words.
After all, most people in this world are ordinary people, and not everyone can accept the heavy and dark truth.
"The Forgotten Abyss is a world ruled by nightmares and twisted shadows. It is located deep in the Sea of Karnos, but it is not a 'deep' in the conventional space sense," Karasius continued to explain, "It is in our world.
Among the cornerstones of the prison is an area that mortals cannot set foot in. Except for the ancient prison officials and the ancient Holy Spirit's outposts, there is only nothingness outside the prison, but this prison is not completely isolated from our world..."
Hao Ren interrupted him: "It's the realm of reflection you just mentioned. It's the bridge connecting the real world and the nightmare world?"
The senior monk nodded silently.
"So... those cultists are planning to enter Rock Marton's cell?" Hao Ren raised his eyebrows, "What are they planning to do? Robbing the prison?"
"I can't believe this," the senior monk said in an extremely depressed tone. "There is the last barrier between the realm of reflection and the abyss of oblivion. It is the power of the goddess of creation, which isolates the evil giant from the mortal world.
Normally, the Annihilation cultists can borrow a little bit of power from the Forgotten Abyss through rituals, which is already the limit. How could those cultists think they have the ability to directly penetrate the barrier?! They can't even get in, let alone
Take Lockmarton's soul out of that world!"
Hao Ren listened and nodded, but suddenly, a lightning-like thought flashed through his mind: "What if the divine power barrier left by the goddess of creation fails?"
Calasius stared at Hao Ren.
"Light of Asuman..." Hao Ren said slowly, "How long has it been since you left the sanctuary?"
The senior monk hesitated for a moment and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart: "It has been more than a month... Because all the major teleportation arrays have been blocked by the Chaos Storm, we can only use the magic warship to cross the Sea of Karnos.
It took more than half a month, and then I crossed the southern border of Ansu with the wolf, and it took more than half a month."
"Sure enough, you don't know what happened in the Sanctuary after that," Hao Ren sighed, "According to what the astrologers detected using national-level detection spells, the light of Asuman over the Sanctuary has been extinguished.
It happened a month ago, when you had already left the sanctuary."
The monks in the sanctuary all stood blankly on the spot.
"How could it be... so fast..." Calasius muttered to himself.
"It seems that the situation in the Holy Land was already wrong before you left," Hao Ren raised his eyebrows, "Then the withdrawal of the Order State's troops can also be explained."
Karasius's face turned pale: "It's sensational, sensational... If it's as you said, the cultists must have made all plans to release the evil soul of Rock Marton. They are fully capable of entering the Abyss of Oblivion and even killing the evil giant."
Bring out the soul!"
"Maybe it's not that bad," Hao Ren chuckled at this time, "the 'key' in their hands is fake."
"Fake?" The senior monk didn't react for a moment, but he quickly understood what the other party meant, "You said the radiant disk in their hands..."
"I don't know what the real radiant disc looks like, but it's definitely not the one they stole from me," Hao Ren said with a smirk on his face, "It would be a lot of fun if they used that thing to open the door."
Karasius blinked. The surprise came so suddenly that he had to calm down. But after the surprise, there was still a worried look on his face: "Even so, the extinguishing of the light of Asuman is still a matter of concern."
This is a major event. Without the blessing of the eternal holy light, the Holy Land is in danger."
Lily looked at Hao Ren and then at Calasius: "Uncle, do you want to go home and take a look? Your hometown is in trouble."
Big Dog's words are still so simple and direct, and they are deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Karasius took several deep breaths and took a lot of effort to calm down. His eyes returned to determination: "If the light of Asuman has been extinguished, then even if the entire Sanctuary Investigation Team is withdrawn, it will only be a drop in the bucket. But
If His Majesty the Pope and the bishops still hold on, then our task may be the last hope to save the Holy Land."
"Mission?" Hao Ren asked casually out of curiosity.
Before Carasius could speak, Lily was already jumping up and down: "They are going to a place called the Desolate Wilderness to find the ruins of the Cassuan Temple! They say there is a light over there!"
Hao Ren was stunned: "Temple of Cassuan? Why does it sound a bit...fuck me?"
When Lily saw him like this, she immediately came up to him and said, "Landlord, landlord, do you know this place?"
Hao Ren touched his chin and finally connected all the causes and consequences together.
He touched his chin: "Calathius, right... That light you are looking for, if nothing else happens, I should have smashed it out." (To be continued.)
