Chapter 551 The truth about the so-called divine punishment
In the treatment room.
Yin put down the bottle and turned around: "What is he shouting?"
Matavs also heard it: "It seems... Reese?"
"Reese?"
"Um!"
"?"
"?"
Neither Martafus nor Silver knew what the word meant.
The two people raised their heads and looked at the astrological ball, which reflected Gamel's memory, and perhaps they could know the answer there.
Matavs and Silver were also somewhat curious about the past of this unusual life form.
mid-air.
Various words are constantly pouring out of the body of the witch spirit formed by pasting papers together.
The ghost spirit exerts its power and maintains the entire treatment process.
Matavus stepped forward and helped it reorganize the chaotic pictures bit by bit, gradually piecing Gamer's chaotic and fragmented memories together like a puzzle.
The witch doctor is really a magical profession. It can not only treat your physical diseases, but also problems involving memory and consciousness.
Gamer, whose consciousness was in the astrological ball, seemed to be living his life over again.
"That's it."
As this sentence fell.
The picture begins with an endless lake.
That is the hometown of Gamel.
The lake is so vast and beautiful that it's hard to tell whether the sky is above or below.
Only the forest in the distance at the end of the horizon that was buried in the water told them that this was a swamp.
Matafosi said in surprise: "What a beautiful place."
Silver recognized where it was: "Thunder Swamp, one of the forbidden places of death."
Matavs looked at Yin: "Such a beautiful place is also a forbidden place of death?"
Yin nodded: "The kingdom of the sky giant is also the place where the Lost Kingdom is located."
Both of them looked at the astrology ball curiously. This was the first time they used the astrology ball in this way.
And this feeling of peeking into other people's memories and lives is really magical and unbearable.
The screen flows.
Gamer was an ordinary child when he was young. There was nothing extraordinary about him and he didn't show any special talents.
He was born in a small and backward kingdom, and grew up in ignorance like most people.
But as Gamel grew older, he began to look different.
His era was an era when alchemists and alchemy were emerging. The Kingdom of Thunder was connected to the White Tower Alchemy Alliance, separated only by the vast Sunrise Mountains. Therefore, the Kingdom of Thunder was deeply influenced by the Land of the Sunrise.
Under the tide of the times, some people will always make choices.
It's just that some people have become the trendsetters of the times, and some people have been drowned by the tide of the times.
The young Gamer was once one of the people who was changed by the tide of the times.
He saw the power of alchemy, the wealth of the White Tower Alchemy Alliance, and the level of civilization that far exceeded the Thunder Kingdom.
therefore.
When his father asked him what he wanted to do in the future.
He pointed to a large ship made by the Land of the Rising Sun on the water and said loudly.
"I want to become an alchemist, and I want to learn the knowledge and alchemy skills of the White Tower Alchemy Alliance."
The existence of human beings seems to be really different once they have some kind of strong desire and goal.
Just like what he once said.
When he grew up, he joined the Miracle Temple and became an alchemist in the Thunder Kingdom.
The screen flashed by quickly, and Gamer had become a young man.
In his youth, Gamer practiced in a prayer temple in Thunder City, striving for an opportunity to go to the Land of the Rising Sun, become a more powerful alchemist, and then stay there.
Gamer was preparing to leave while looking forward to the future after heading to the Land of the Rising Sun.
At this time, noisy sounds came from the street, and Gamer couldn't help but stop and watch.
It was a celebration to worship the giant god in the sky.
Unlike the Temple of Miracles, the Temple of Thunder is the state religion of the kingdom, and its believers are like mountains and seas.
The entire street was filled with the shouts, cheers and prayers of believers.
"Although the war between the Thunder Kingdom and the Ten Thousand Snakes Royal Court is over, the hatred will never disappear." At that time, the Ten Thousand Snakes Royal Court was going to war against the Thunder Kingdom because of a feud. The Thunder Kingdom suffered heavy casualties and was forced to humiliatingly sue for peace to the Ten Thousand Snakes Royal Court.
"Only with God's blessing, only with our witch, can we be fearless of all enemies." People in the Thunder Kingdom long for a witch who belongs to the sky, just like the witch of the earth protects the land of snakes.
The kingdom of thunder.
"We have received a response from the gods. This witch sacrifice will definitely please the gods and allow the Thunder Kingdom to receive God's power and favor." Not long ago, the vision of Yunshan and the Lost Kingdom deep in the Thunder Swamp,
They were even more excited. They thought this was God's response, but they didn't know that this was the giant god in the sky welcoming the arrival of the Supreme God.
At this time, Gamer, who was standing by the street, encountered a strange thing.
He seemed to hear someone talking in his ear.
Gamer turned his head, looking for the direction from which the sound came.
"The King's Court of Ten Thousand Snakes?" This is a very ancient name. Nowadays, people call it the Ten Thousand Snakes' Ruling Kingdom. The former King's Court ended long ago with the end of the era of Dark Moon and Ackerman.
"Shh, don't speak loudly, he will hear it." At this time, an inaudible voice sounded, and then Gamel could no longer hear the strange voice.
Gamer was a little confused, but he couldn't find who was speaking. The voice was clearly close to him.
In the end I could only turn around and leave.
While going back, Gamer met someone who changed the course of his life.
Oran, the Lord of Happiness and Desire, came to Thunder City and lived in their prayer hall.
However, Gamer didn't know who the other party was at that time.
Oran looked at the lively celebration and said with sigh.
"You can't see God's reflection, you can't hear God's voice, you don't know God's will, but you can believe in God. This may be the most funny and foolish scene for a mortal."
At that time, Gamel refuted this human apostle.
No matter whether their beliefs are funny or ignorant, it is their belief in gods that unites them to form this country.
Whether God responded or not, they found hope and a future in it.
But then, Gamer saw an ugly scene in the selection of witches. A large number of nobles, officials, and godly servants used the excuse of selecting witches to collect money, kill, and fight and suppress each other.
As a result, Gamer had a conflict with the people in the Thunder Temple, but in the end he was powerless.
At this time, Olan asked him: "Is this the hope and future you are talking about?"
This sentence deeply hurt Gamel and made him understand something.
He said to Oran: "I am going to the White Tower Alchemy Alliance to study, but I will come back after I finish my studies."
He no longer wanted to stay in that prosperous, wealthy, and civilized land of the rising sun. He wanted to go back and change his hometown and country after completing his studies.
However, Gamel had not yet started this journey.
The Kingdom of Thunder decided to sacrifice the selected witch as a living sacrifice, and let her lead a large number of selected young men and women on a sacrificial ship to sacrifice herself to the great Ruhe sky giant.
Oran told Gamer that this was destined to cause divine punishment.
Because the Supreme God is in the Lost Kingdom above the sea of clouds at this moment, and if the Thunder Kingdom does such a thing in front of the Supreme God, it will definitely offend the giant god in the sky.
Gamer didn't know the existence of the Supreme God, but the divine punishment in Oran's mouth was terrifying enough.
In panic, he tried his best to find a way to prevent this kind of thing.
He went to meet the chosen "witch", but the witch did not believe that he was a heretic.
He went to inquire about the place where the sacrificial ship was built, but at this time the giant god in the sky issued a warning and destroyed the witch's sacrificial ship.
Gamer was ecstatic, but he did not expect that he would be regarded as the culprit who destroyed the ceremony.
In the end, it even triggered a war between the two temples, and even the old priest in the prayer hall where Gamel was located died as a result.
at last.
Gamer had no choice but to go to death and ended his life with his own hands.
It was Oran who saved him and turned him into a Cup of Desire.
At the end of the story, all the believers who longed to see the giant god were turned into a pile of rotten flesh under the power and glory of the god the moment they saw the god.
And "Witch" Liz was also coerced by the will and desire of everyone in the kingdom, and took the sacrificial ship to complete her mission as a sacrifice.
Her death was used to prove that the Titans still protect the Thunder Kingdom.
——
In the treatment room.
Matafosi and Yin looked at the astrological ball. At first, the two of them were whispering.
But when they gradually saw the back, the two of them didn't say a word anymore.
Only silence remains.
Before reading this memory, they never thought it would be such a shocking story.
The dialogues between Gamer and Oran and the words of the characters in the painting had a strong impact on their hearts.
Some of these words they had heard from Gamel before.
But when I heard it again now, the feeling was completely different from before.
"There is no good or evil in the eyes of the gods."
"We are called believers, but in fact we are all a group of fools who do not understand the true meaning of gods."
"I obviously didn't do anything wrong, so why did it end up in the worst possible outcome?"
“Which is more important, right or wrong at the moment, or the final destination reached.”
"..."
Matafos raised her head and opened her mouth slightly.
You can even see her hands shaking slightly.
She seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't say anything. She felt sad for Gamel and hesitated about the cruelty of the world.
For the first time, she saw blind obedience to faith and felt the horror of desire.
Until the moment in the picture when divine punishment comes.
Matafusi stared in disbelief and said.
"what is that?"
in the screen.
Thousands of miles of clouds turned into dark clouds in an instant, and the world immediately turned into darkness.
Olan, who was standing on the water, had a ferocious expression on his face when he looked up at the sky, and made a low hiccup sound from his whole body.
Then, as if he couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, he let out a howl of fear.
This scene made Matavs feel horrified.
She couldn't imagine what Mr. Olan, the chosen one from God, had seen and was so scared to look like this.
The fear and madness were so deep in his heart that even he couldn't control them.
"How could that be? That's Mr. Oran."
"It's not far from the true god."
Silver on the side also spoke and gave Matafos the answer.
"It's the giant god Ruhe."
"The giant of the sky."
Matafosi had heard others say how powerful and terrifying the giant Ruhe was before. Even the Evil God of Original Sin and the God of Truth and Knowledge were attacked several times by the giant Ruhe because they started a war in the back garden of Ruhe Island, the master of life.
Beaten into a deep sleep.
But that's just hearsay.
Even if she was imagining, she couldn't imagine too many scenes.
But this time she truly felt the terror of the Titan, even if the power shown in the picture was just the tip of the iceberg.
And look at the dark clouds surging inside the astrological ball, and the flashing thunder.
This picture gives people a feeling of déjà vu.
She suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but say.
"The feeling of these dark clouds and thunder is similar to the situation above Moonlight City before."
Yin also felt the same as Matafosi. When he saw this scene, he was reminded of the heavy rain and thunder above Moonlight City.
Matavs and Silver looked out the window.
The moonlight is shining outside and the stars are shining brightly.
Although everything disappeared without a trace, the cloudless sky was also proof of the miracle.
Yin looked at the sky and then understood why she was so panicked and scared.
At the same time, I also remembered what Gamel said before.
In a daze, she said what Gamel said before.
"The gods are watching this world, looking down on us from the sky."
"Listen, the sound of the wind is God breathing."
"That thunder, that is the roaring and shouting of the gods."
Matafos also told another part of what Gamel said, a fable she had also heard when she was a child.
"God is the sun."
"The sun cannot be approached, nor can it be far away."
"Don't speculate on the will of the gods, and don't use your own ignorance to spy on the majesty of the gods."
At that time, they just thought that the person in front of them was crazy and what he said was crazy.
At this moment, they finally understood that everything Gamer said were his personal feelings.
Every word and every word was earned by him with blood, tears and death.
at last.
When the two of them turned around.
Just when I saw "Witch" Liz riding the dilapidated wooden boat, sailing towards the depths of the sea of clouds, it finally turned into foam.
For a moment, Matafosi and Yin felt particularly sad.
Looking at the dissipating bubbles and the mountains of clouds building up to the end of the sky, Silver, who was the pre-selected Star Witch, spoke.
"The Witch of the Sky."
"Lise."
Although the other party is not a real witch, she is just an ordinary person who is named a witch.
But the other person's story deeply stuck in Yin's mind.
She had never thought that there was once a girl who wanted to be a witch so much.
Even if she cannot become a real witch in the end, she is willing to die as a false witch just to become a witch in the minds of others.
And a sentence suddenly popped up in Matafos' head, just like the inspiration that just popped up in her mind.
"We are all machines of desire. Some people are driven by desire, and some people control desire."
Yin looked at Matafosi with something special in her eyes.
Matavs felt a little guilty: "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Yin said: "This is the first time I've seen you say such philosophical words."
Matafus scratched her head sheepishly, and then said.
"I have many bright spots, but you haven't discovered them yet."
They walked forward together, shoulder to shoulder in front of the hospital bed, and came closer together to look at the scene inside the astrological sphere.
It wasn't until the last scene dissipated that Matavs finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
"it's over."
Maybe it's because this story is too depressing, or maybe it's because this is an unprecedented treatment.
Therefore, the whole process made Matavs worried and she did not even dare to take a deep breath.
But at this point, the entire treatment process is finally complete.
Matavs stepped forward and communicated with her ghost spirit through consciousness.
Next, Gui Lingjing only needs to sort out and check the entire memory, put together some scattered scattered memories, and make sure there are no omissions in the review.
Matafos will send Gamel's consciousness back, allowing his memory to return.
Finally, just close the astrological ball.
While watching the operation of Gui Ling Jing, Matafosi was chatting casually with Yin.
"By the way, Silver."
"Tell me, why did Mr. Olan say that in the picture?"
"In the past, the giant sky god didn't care what mortals did, but this time he will definitely be angry and impose divine punishment?"
"Why should we distinguish between the past and the present?"
"That's strange. Was there anything unusual about that time?"
Yin thought for a moment and suddenly remembered the changes in the direction of the Lost Kingdom in the depths of the swamp when people in Thunder City saw it, as well as some of Olan's actions and words.
Then think about why an important figure like Oran suddenly ran into the depths of Thunder Swamp.
She seemed to notice something and said, "Perhaps it was because other gods were present at that time?"
Matavus didn't react at first: "Other gods?"
But after thinking about it carefully, she suddenly realized that Yin's answer was not simple.
Matavs also felt that this answer seemed to be able to explain the scene they saw, and could also correspond to many things in it.
"But the god who can make the giant make such a big noise!"
"that is not……"
Matafosi and Yin looked at each other, seeming to already have the answer.
One had serious eyes and the other had his mouth wide open.
But this answer is really too amazing.
Although the two of them knew it, they didn't dare to say it out loud for a long time.
It is estimated that no one thought that after so many years, two people from later generations could guess the truth of that year.
Even Gamel didn't know this at the time during the game.
At that time, he only knew that the giant god was angry because of the living sacrifice.
The giant god first gave a warning, but in the end the mortals repeatedly refused to repent, and then directly issued divine punishment.
he does not know.
In fact, the Supreme God descended on the Lost Kingdom on the Sea of Clouds at that time, which was the City of God’s Descendant in the ancient times.
This made the giant god in the sky pay attention to the surroundings at all times, overlooking this human farce.
On the contrary, Matafosi and Yin were on the outside and could see the overall situation more realistically and guess the causes and consequences.
For a moment, both Matafosi and Yin were stunned.
After a long time, Matavus said in disbelief.
"so."
"The situation at that time was that the Supreme God came to the world from the Kingdom of Creator God."
"And the giant god in the sky opened the door to the Lost Kingdom to welcome the arrival of the supreme god."
"Mr. Oran should have gone to Thunder Swamp on behalf of the Desire God System. He appeared there. It is very likely that the God of Desire and Alchemy was also present, above the sea of clouds."
The more Matafos spoke, the louder her voice became.
And the emotion in his voice became more and more startled, becoming extremely excited.
Although she herself did not notice her disorder and emotional loss.
"This is the time when the gods meet and greet the Supreme God."
"The people of the Thunder Kingdom have selected a group of people to be sacrificed to the giant god in the sky in front of the supreme god?"
For a moment, Matafosi and Yin didn't know how to interpret this move by Thunder Kingdom and Thunder Temple.
It seems that no words can describe the madness and stupidity of the Thunder Kingdom believers at that time.
This is not seeking death, this is crazy.
Really downright crazy.
Matafusi couldn't imagine how these guys could come up with such an operation.
The giant god in the sky is meeting with the supreme god. You are playing such an ugly farce in front of the supreme god, and you have also implicated the giant god.
to the end.
They even imagined that the giant god in the sky would protect and favor them.
In the end, the giant gods did not wipe out the entire Thunder Kingdom together and launch a catastrophe of annihilation.
That is already their supreme kindness and compassion.
At the end of her speech, Matafos was so excited that her glasses shook and fell to the ground because she spoke too fast.
But she didn't pick it up. Instead, she hugged her head in panic.
Even if she is not present, even if many years have passed since the Witch Liz incident.
But when I think of that picture in my mind, it makes me feel scared and frightened.
Matafosi put down all other movements and walked around the treatment room holding her head, like a bird that was lost in place.
At the same time, she was mumbling intermittently.
"This this……"
"This is really..."
"This...hehehe~"
The more Matafos thought about this matter, the more ridiculous she felt.
She even laughed in anger, but the smile was extremely bitter.
Because this farce is so funny, but it’s hard to laugh out loud.
After you understand everything and know the causes and consequences.
This incident feels stupid and desolate from beginning to end.
They did the stupidest things, but they longed for the most wonderful gifts and dreamed incredible dreams.
So many people died.
They chanted God's name and did things that were contrary to God.
They all thought that they were pious, thought that they were God's most loyal believers, and thought that they were dedicating everything to God.
In fact, you are misinterpreting God's will and incurring the greatest disgust from God.
The most ridiculous thing is.
They were still cheering until the last moment and were still moved by their piety.
Matafus retreated to the edge of the hospital bed, and then stood still until she could no longer retreat.
Then.
He shook his head helplessly.
"No wonder Mr. Oran said this was a farce."
"Yes, this is a complete farce."
"A farce driven by everyone's desires, a farce of self-deception."
Matafos felt extremely depressed, not only because of the worthless people who died in this farce, but also because she vaguely saw the shadow of herself and everyone else in it.
We follow blindly, we are driven by desires, and we are moved by ourselves.
We only believe what we want to believe.
Matafosi raised her head and looked at Yin, who was always standing motionless.
"silver."
"Are we both the same kind of people?"
"We shouldn't...not be so stupid, right?"
Matavs seemed to want to see a different answer from Yin's eyes, but Yin asked her: "What do you think?"
After thinking about it, Matafosi became even more depressed: "We seem to be about the same."
Matavos looked at Gamer on the hospital bed and said.
"Mr. Gamel's death was not worth it."
"And why doesn't Liz give up?"
"She clearly knows that everything is false and that she is no longer a witch, but she still refuses to give up."
Yin said: "Everyone's life is different. We are not her and we cannot understand her feelings!"
Matafosi nodded: "It seems that I will have to walk on this path of cultivation for a long time."
Today's treatment had a strong impact on Matavs's consciousness and worldview, and she gained a lot.
She murmured to herself: "Be controlled by desire, and then control desire."
Matafosi seemed to have thought of something, and a sentence echoed in her mind.
"Strong people can in turn control their own desires and make them their own strength."
"Many of those who can reach the final stage are the beings you call gods."
There was light flashing in front of Matafosi's eyes, as if she saw a realm and goal that she was pursuing.
"God's Desire?"
At this time, the ghost spirits that turned into paper wizards were finally reviewed and sorted out.
"Okay, little Matafos."
Matafusi immediately came to her senses and turned around to revive Gamel.
But at this moment.
Something strange happened to a certain being on the side.
Ever since they activated the astrological ball to replay Gamel's memory, the cup of desire planted in the soil of the bottle nearby began to change, but the two people who were caught up in the shocking truth of the Witch's Festival incident in the Thunder Kingdom were not at the same time.
Didn't notice it.
Especially when Matafus called out Liz's name, the dying cup of desire slowly began to move.
The originally shrunken Cup of Desire unfolded little by little, and you could see inside that there was a mini girl's face that had shrunk many times.
The face and eyes in the flower cup looked towards the hospital bed, staring at the astrological ball.
Look at the changing memory images in the astrological ball.
Especially, when Thunder Swamp appears.
It suddenly jumped up, spinning through the air with silver light.
Got into the astrological ball.
Matavs was concentrating on Gamer when she felt something fly from behind her and was instantly startled.
