Chapter 15: The Black Queen
Time passed, the sun in the sky rotated again and again under the drive of the angels, and the dark thing waited silently, and finally ...... He waited.
......
By the time the woman came back to this place, everything had changed.
Unlike the original barrenness, at this moment, a huge pyramid-like altar has been erected on this land, built by the long-dead snake maiden and her hundreds of maids, to receive the body of their master, god, ruler, and master, and the culmination of the huge altar about a thousand meters high and a full 8,000 steps is the snake totem pole that looks down indifferently.
The ancient snake civilization has been revived again, and those strange species in the form of humans, snakes, or fish are struggling to build this huge altar, although they do not have the ability to create the world, but for the lord of the ancient Eastern World and the magic king who have mastered the seven hundred and seventy-seven runes of Rune, it is not difficult to just shape some life species, the only problem is ...... These species have no soul, they are basically muddy, and although they have a rudimentary consciousness, they do not have enough sanity, and they are basically no different from wild beasts.
Mona was a little confused, while the serpent saw it all in his eyes and didn't care.
In this world, only the omniscient and all-powerful holds the final interpretation of the whole world, and the system of all things must be manifested by its will, and this interpretation power also includes the interpretation of the soul, as long as the omniscient and all-powerful does not recognize that these snake people have souls, then even the greatest power cannot give these beasts souls and wisdom.
Stepping on the altar, the woman's calm face was free from any confusion or confusion, and there was only a quiet brightness in her eyes, and then she bowed solemnly to the dark thing sitting cross-legged in front of her, and kissed its toes.
"Human, have you figured it out. β
Looking down at the small figure at his feet, the dark thing that couldn't see clearly said calmly.
Behind its vague figure, there seemed to be some kind of vast and magnificent infinite thing, that kind of thing, bigger than the sky, more magnificent than the ocean, quiet, quiet, indifferent and cold, without good or evil, incomparably powerful, powerful and so powerful that people shudder deeply, like a doomed fate, like a big hand playing a chessboard.
When a tiny human being, who is no more than five feet long, exhaustively climbs over the lofty mountains, and finally sees the endless and vast blue sea behind the lofty mountains, it will think of something, except for deep awe and shock, it can no longer think of anything.
Shock, fear, worship, feel deep fear and shock in the face of this unattainable greatness.
Kneel, bow to it, admit your insignificance and powerlessness, admit your humility, admit your weakness, and then believe in it devoutly, fanatically.
Just as we believe in the sun in the sky and the mountains on the earth, it is natural for human beings to be in awe of these eternal and magnificent things, and to worship those powerful and magnificent things in deep fear.
Do you need a reason to worship the sun, thunder, and sky? No, likewise, you don't need a reason to worship gods and things of darkness.
In the presence of the dark things, the woman felt an invisible feeling, as if she were facing God.
When she faced God, she could not feel anything but deep trust and reassurance, because in the presence of the All-Knowing and Almighty, any resistance and struggle was futile, and man could only choose to trust and believe in Him, and nothing else could be done.
And in the face of the dark things, she vaguely felt that almost indistinguishable feeling, deep fear, shuddering fear, and finally turned into deep faith.
It was a feeling that no angel, not even the king of angels, could bring her.
"I've got it. β
She felt a deep fear in her heart, but the woman still looked up at the source of her awe and fearβthe dark thing that could not see its face.
"I already understand the answer...... Rachel, no, or rather, Satan, the enemy of God. β
Satan, this is not a name, it means the enemy of God, it is the name for the enemy of God.
Taking a deep breath, looking at Satan in front of her, the dark thing that means the enemy of God, the woman touched her chest, feeling the hot heart in her chest that was beating violently, and she said firmly.
"The beast that does not know what freedom is, has never been free, and it is only when the beast realizes what freedom is that freedom really has meaning for it. So, I don't regret leaving the Garden of Eden, I know, I always know, I love freedom, and I've been seeking freedom from the moment I've been freed from my obscurantist nature and have reason. β
"Freedom, human beings, isn't it me who is the freest you have ever seen. β
The dark thing's mouth curled into a sneer.
However, the woman shook her head and said.
"Allow me to call you, Satan, you are indeed the freest I have ever seen, but as I said, the beast of freedom, freedom means nothing to it, and the value of freedom can only be understood by unfree human beings. β
Without any shying away, the woman bluntly called the dark thing in front of her a beast.
Listening to the words of the woman in front of him, the curvature of the corner of the dark thing's mouth became more and more violent, and he laughed silently.
"Interestingly, because I don't need freedom, does it mean nothing to me? Just as death can be called life, hunger can understand what is fullness, and only life that has never been free can understand freedom?"
"Interesting...... Interesting ......"
The dark thing looked down at the tiny human at its feet, and it could feel that there was something in the woman in front of it that it did not have, or rather, something it once had that it had scorned and abandoned into countless planes.
However, it didn't care, and in its eyes, it was just some fading dregs.
"So, human, what are you trying to get from me. β
Looking at the woman who was close in front of him, the dark thing said with interest.
The woman stared at it, took a deep breath, and then made a gesture that stunned the snake woman beside the dark thing......
She reached out and grabbed the arm of the dark thing shrouded in invisible black flames, and then gently placed it on her chest, her bright eyes unusually hot.
"Please...... Show me your love. β
Looking down at the woman at her feet, the erect pupils of the dark thing remained indifferent, but the curvature of the corners of her mouth became more and more intense.
"Hah...... Hahahaha...... Hahahahaha......ha
Suddenly, the dark thing laughed inexplicably, laughing incomparably wanton, incomparably wild, and then said.
"Tell me, woman, why you long for my love. β
It lowered its head, the corners of its mouth still smiling, but the erect snake pupils that looked at the woman below it shrank slightly, revealing a certain indifference and coldness,
The woman who stared at the dark thing had bright pupils that were already firm.
"As I said, I love freedom, and in my eyes...... You are freedom, and I am fascinated by your wanton and flamboyant flamboyance, which I cannot have, and tell me, Satan, can moths reject the light of fire? No. β
"I like you, I like your freedom, I like your wanton and arrogant, these are things that I do not have and cannot have, if the glorious God cannot give me what I want, then I would rather fall into darkness, O Satan, please defile me. β
Looking down at the woman below, the corners of the dark thing's mouth were hooked, and the dark pupils that were as clear as amber kept enlarging and enlarging in the woman's sight...... Keep zooming in...... Until the endless darkness and coldness completely enveloped her entire vision......
In the warmth of warm water soaking, the woman's consciousness was blurred, and the cold murmur like a dream sounded in the woman's ears.
"Woman, Son of God, I cannot give you my love, for I do not have love, but I will make a pact with your seed, an ancient pact that will not change through the ages. β
"God has blessed you with all the beauty and happiness, immortality, eternal youth, but you refuse, then please accept the gift from me, Satan, and the serpent. β
"Woman, your descendants will have the right to be free and the right to be enslaved, the right to live and the right to die, the right to kill other life and the right to be killed by other life, the right to happiness and the right to win misfortune, the power to joy and the power to suffer......"
"Woman, I will not give anything to your offspring as God does, but I can allow your offspring to choose what to have and what to reject. β
"On this earth, above my body, your descendants will be allowed to multiply, and God has given you only a small backyard with everything, but what I have given you is the whole world. β
The confused woman barely had time to ask a question before her consciousness vanished.
"World ...... world?"
Fragmented thoughts stirred through the chaos of minds, but a clear response was obtained.
"...... right"
"A earth called the earth, a world called the earth. β
Immediately, in the dream-like murmur, the woman's consciousness fell into a deep sleep......
Above the altar, a black chess piece gradually revealed its true colors.
......
Above the Sevenfold Heavenly Realm, the Crystal Heaven All-Knowing and Almighty looked at the suspended chessboard in front of him, and suddenly there was a black queen chess piece next to the Black King.
The beautiful woman in a luxurious dress and a crown on her head does not have strength, and is actually extremely weak, but the queen is the most powerful chess piece on the chessboard, because the queen's strength does not come from her own force, but from the third party power represented by the queen.
The king naturally has supreme power and an army, however, behind the queen who married him stood a large aristocratic family, the queen's power was weak, but she herself was enough to drive a large number of warriors and warriors, and was naturally the most important chess piece on the entire chessboard besides the king.
Looking at the chessboard in front of him, the face of the omniscient and all-powerful man was not moved, but thoughtful.
