Xuan Hao asked doubtfully, "I have heard of this, but what does this matter have to do with Sakyamuni?"
"First of all, theoretically speaking, humans cannot defeat gods no matter what. You don't deny this, right?" Brünnhilde did not answer immediately, but asked rhetorically.
Her question does not require Xuan Hao to answer, because since Xuan Hao raised the question just now, he must agree with this point of view.
"Even Lu Bu can't win a one-on-one confrontation with the gods. To sum up the reason, I think so..." Brynhildr explained to herself, "The gods are absolutely powerful.
The root of the problem lies in...their weapons made in heaven - artifacts! Weapons forged by humans...human weapons are too fragile. As you can see, they can't even connect with Lu Bu's power as a human.
It is unbearable, and it is no different from a toy in front of the gods. I am afraid that after one round of fighting, it will be annihilated into ashes, right?"
"..."
Xuanhao remained silent and did not answer.
Although he had heard the problem from the other party's point of view, he knew that Brünnhilde had not finished speaking yet. If he wanted to make suggestions, it would not be too late to wait until the other party finished speaking.
"It is simply impossible for humans to overcome the mystery of holding an artifact," Brynhildr continued.
"Then... isn't this a sure defeat?" Gray on the side panicked when he heard this.
However, Brünnhilde smiled: "Then what happens if humans hold artifacts?"
"Huh?" Gray was slightly startled when he heard this.
Looking at her sister's surprised expression, Brünnhilde believed that her idea was not wrong: "Yes, this is the way I think humans can defeat gods. Only fellow 'artifacts' can fight against 'artifacts'..."
As he spoke, several whirlpools emerged in the hall behind Brünnhilde.
"Are you calling us? Sister..." The overlapping female voices echoed throughout the Hall of Valor.
"In compliance with the order of eldest sister Brünnhilde, eleven Valkyries and I are gathered here."
As the majestic sound resounded, several figures slowly emerged from the whirlpool, bowing slightly to say hello to Brünnhilde.
"Female... Valkyrie sisters!!"
Gray on the side was slightly shocked when she saw this scene.
Because Brünnhilde called the remaining eleven Valkyries! This moment should be the first time in history that thirteen of them are gathered together!
"Sister...what are you...going to do?" She looked at Brünnhilde nervously and asked.
"Lanti Grace, come forward."
Brünnhilde did not answer, but calmly ordered one of the arriving Valkyries.
"yes."
Following the order, Randy Grace, the fourth female Valkyrie, raised her skirt slightly and stepped forward.
"Lanti Grace, do you know Lord Thor's artifact, right?" Brynhildr asked calmly.
"Of course..." Randy Grace nodded slightly and replied, "The 'Iron Glove' Yann Gripper, who can block any attack, and the most important thing, is famous for his 'Annihilation of the Frost Giant Legion'"
'Thor's Hammer' Mjolnir."
"That's right." Brynhildr smiled and nodded after hearing this, "They are the two 'artifacts' held by Lord Thor, and they are the best in the heavens. If you want to defeat Lord Thor, you must first have a confrontation.
Their method will work. Randy Grace, can you please...dedicate yourself to this?"
"Of course...sister."
Hearing this, Randy Grace knelt down on one knee with a smile, "It's a great honor."
"????"
Hearing this, both Gray and Xuanhao looked confused.
"Dedicate yourself?"
Before Xuanhao could get confused, Gray asked the question he wanted to ask first, "What does it just mean?"
"When you ask this question, you should already have the answer in your mind, right? Gray."
Brünnhilde asked Gray with a serious expression.
The expression on Gray's face was extremely nervous at this moment. It was obvious that she actually knew the meaning of "dedication".
"That's right, that's the hidden ability of our sisters, the Valkyries..." Brunhilde answered calmly towards Xuan Hao, "The body of the Valkyrie can change its form and become a human weapon, making humans
'Obtaining 'artifacts', this ability is called - artifact forging."
"No, not enough."
After listening to Brünnhilde's explanation, Xuanhao retorted mercilessly.
"First of all, your starting point is wrong. The premise of all your judgments is that human beings can fight against gods. And this itself is wrong... Sure enough, even if you were once a human being, you are still
After being a god for a long time, will you still become narrow-minded? You must have watched the battle between me and Lu Bu, right? There is no difference in the weapons we used, even the ones I used were of inferior quality, but in the end I won
Yes. Is it the weapon that affects this result? No..."
"It's your physique."
Brünnhilde was not annoyed by Xuan Hao's unceremonious rebuttal, but pointedly pointed out the key to the problem.
"Yes, of course I have also noticed this problem... so 'artifact forging' alone is not enough, which is why I mentioned Lord Sakyamuni."
"Oh? Keep talking."
Xuan Hao nodded slightly when he heard this.
It seemed that he was overthinking it. It turned out that the other party had already thought of the crux of the problem, so of course he didn't mind hearing about the other party's solution.
"In Buddhism, there is a term called 'One Lotus Holds Life'. Have you ever heard of it?"
Brünnhilde asked.
"Each of us will leave half a seat on the Chenghua Terrace for my companions in Yanfu." Xuan Hao nodded lightly and said, "It means that after death, the two of them will lead to bliss, right?"
"Yes."
Brünnhilde replied with a serious look, "We have long known that if humans want to fight against gods, weapons alone are not enough. If we don't have the consciousness to risk our lives and go to hell together, it is impossible to stand on the same stage with gods.
Qualifications for the competition! So I asked Lord Sakyamuni for a Buddhist method called 'One Lotus Enlightenment'. Its effect is to offer everything including our souls to the Valkyrie! Bind it to the chosen one.
On top of human souls, it will be used to strengthen the chosen ones! Not only the forging of artifacts, but also the Valkyries like us will live and die together with the humans who step onto the battlefield, and go to hell together!"
"Are we going to hell together? It's a good realization."
Hearing this, Xuan Hao smiled softly.
But the smile on his face quickly disappeared.
"Now that you have become enlightened, you must be clear about it, right? There are some things that even being enlightened are not enough. I only have one question - the so-called 'one lotus rebirth' that you asked Sakyamuni
'Does Buddhism really have a way to strengthen the human beings participating in the war to a level that is completely equal to that of gods?"
"..."
Faced with Xuan Hao's question, all the Valkyries chose to remain silent.
The answer is obvious, impossible.
In Xuan Hao's view, the gap between humans and gods, at least in this world, refers to the will of the world. How can a mere Valkyrie resist the gods who are blessed by the will of the world?
Therefore, even if the Valkyries in front of them have the consciousness to die together with mankind, they cannot cross that gap.
"It's a pity." Finally, Brunhilde shook her head slightly and replied in a heavy tone, "We are only demigods after all. Even if we try our best, this is the limit of what we can do."
"Is that true?"
Hearing this answer, Xuanhao grinned.
Yes, under the surprised looks of the Valkyries, the man smiled.
