During the next journey, Karl and the others also discovered the corpses of many other gods.
From the east to the west, from the earth to the ocean, from well-known gods to the not-so-famous Mao God, there is everything in the cave.
Everything was spared from the beginning. Later, Cyril even made it clear that she could no longer 'eat' any more, so she had no choice but to leave the remaining corpse of the god where it was while they continued to move forward.
This kind of progress that didn't know when it would end finally came to an end after more than ten hours.
After more than ten hours of arduous trekking, the general progress of this cave has always maintained a downward trend. According to Karl's rough estimate, it can be calculated that they have reached a depth of about one kilometer below the ground level.
As a result, at this place, a scene appeared that made Cyril extremely moved.
The moment she saw what was in front of her, she rushed out of the team without any trace of emotion and ran over by herself.
First of all, they have just come out of a tunnel that is not spacious, and there is a relatively open space in front of them.
At the end of the field of vision, there was a seemingly bottomless vertical hole. From their position, Karl and the others could not clearly see what was there, but this was also the only place where they could continue to move forward except for the tunnel coming in from behind.
Then, there was the thing that made Selyl lose her composure.
On the ground a few meters in front of them, there was a white horse lying on the ground.
Even in this deep underground with no light source at all, the white light emitted from its body illuminates the place as if it were daytime, and the ether contained in the corpse is the most terrifying level Carl has ever seen since traveling through time.
Even if the ether possessed by the Morrigan he killed was multiplied dozens of times, it would never be comparable to the corpse of the white horse in front of him.
Near the body, the ether is so thick that it has even turned into a physical entity, permeating the air at a very short distance around the white horse, creating a feeling of wonderland alive underground.
After Seliel rushed over, her movements were simple and direct. She threw herself on the body of the white horse and stuck her whole body on it.
Immediately afterwards, Carl saw Cyril's shoulders begin to twitch.
This god cried.
Seeing Cyril showing such a fragile look, Karl immediately approached cautiously:
"Ceryl...?"
"How are you doing?"
And what answered Karl was Cyril’s sad words:
"Ka...Kar..."
"No matter who did this, I will definitely make him pay the price!"
Turning her head, Cyril's eyes were filled with absolute hatred. The kind of resentment that wanted to crush the enemy to ashes almost turned into reality in her eyes, and she clearly conveyed Cyril's feelings to
Carl.
Seeing Ceryl in such grief and anger, Karl walked over and helped her up from the body.
"What happened?"
"Is it difficult to say that you know this God?"
Looking at Karl's question, Cyril's already whitened lips trembled and said:
"Wait a minute, I have to do something."
"please."
Seeing Cyril's appearance, Karl naturally pushed back two steps, leaving a considerable space for Cyril.
Next, Cyril cut her wrist like she did in London a long time ago, and let the blood fall from the wound around the white horse's body.
With a very steady posture, Seliel used her own blood to draw three circles on the outside of the white horse's body, and then used straight dividing lines to divide the circle into two equal layers of twenty on the inside and outside.
fan.
Then, within the set magic base, Cyril used her own divine blood to carve characters.
On the outermost side of the magic circle, corresponding to the twenty fans inside, Cyril wrote down twenty runes with different shapes, but all composed of horizontal and vertical lines, similar to counting symbols.
And these runes that Cyril looked very familiar to were all things that Karl had never seen before.
After that, on the inside and outside of the magic circle, there were twenty fans each, for a total of forty fans. Cyril used divine blood to draw forty different symbols that symbolized natural things.
Among these graphics, Karl could recognize relatively superficial symbols, such as pictographic symbols symbolizing the sun and moon.
After doing all this, Cyril wrote the word eiocha in ancient letters on the innermost side, surrounding the white horse's body.
After completing these tasks, Cyril silently retreated to the edge of the magic circle, then knelt in front of the corpse in a praying posture, clasped her hands and said:
"I am before the sacred oak tree,"
"I pray that you will live forever in the land of thick fog,"
"Start with death;"
After chanting this short prayer, Cyril stood up and moved 120° counterclockwise to the other direction of the body. She also knelt down and continued:
"Song of Sea and Earth,"
"Integrated into the blood and bones of the sacred deer,"
"Bless your children to grow healthily in the sunshine;"
Continuing, Cyril stood up and shifted 120° again, and then knelt down again:
"Dance of Nature and the World,"
"The dust of this prayer for blessing will be settled,"
"That's what I wish."
Then Seriel stood up and made a special three-ring gesture with both hands in front of the corpse.
As her ritual was completed, the magic circle, together with the white horse corpse, began to emit an extremely bright, but not dazzling light at all.
Immediately afterwards, the ether on the white horse's corpse rose up as if it had gained life, and then poured directly into Cyril's body.
Almost just a few seconds later, the body of the white horse and the body of the magic circle on the ground disappeared without a trace, leaving only Cyril standing there with her body filled with ether mist.
At the same time, Karl could also feel that the emerald slate in his body began to undergo some changes. This terrible power not only affected Cyril, but even the artifact that maintained their contract was also greatly affected.
Who is this horse? How can a corpse cause changes on such a scale?
Looking at Ceryl in front of him, Karl couldn't help but guess.
But with all due respect, in his knowledge base, there doesn’t seem to be such a powerful god with the shape of a white horse...
"call"
After a long time, Ceryl finally let out a breath and opened her eyes again, revealing a gleam of light.
With the ether mist lingering around her body, she looked at Karl and explained:
"The one I just sent away is the mother goddess Io."
"She is the first god of our pantheon, the founder, and the common mother of all our gods."
"When Ether died, it was under her protection that I had time to seal myself and escape."
