Chapter 601: Raphael and the Thorns
Towering under the starry sky, Raphael, surrounded and guarded by the "Holy Thorns", when he holds the Thorn Code in his hands, his true "self", his eternal but dormant power, is awakening at this moment.
Except for Raphael, or the "followers of the thorns" such as the Holy Confessor and the Holy Prophet, no other living beings could read the words on the tablet.
But all the masters who cast their eyes could feel the joy from the depths of their souls at this moment, and the fear and horror were dispelled by joy at this moment, and they seemed to have become polymaths who knew the truth, and even if they died immediately, they would not have any regrets.
They could not read the words, but they could see that on the surging and spreading "holy thorns", more clear, and more incredible symbols began to be born, representing the sword and the balance of justice, the hourglass of time, the jewel of hope, the griffin of courage, the baby of the future, the harp of music, and the bone ...... of death.
When these symbols outlined by the light of cleanliness converged and constantly gave birth to "bud-like" things, the big men were shocked, while the polymath and occult researchers were ecstatic, and they thought of the most difficult "subject" on the mysterious side of the Dark Age at the same time.
Secrets of Cataclysm!
Before that, according to some big events that have passed.
Scholars know that in the final battle of the Cataclysm, Thorns and other gods formed the "rebel camp", they fought, and they fell...... From the thorn portal that has now been opened, it can be seen that at the end of that battle, except for the reincarnated "thorns" and a part of the complete fall, the other gods in the rebel camp are in madness and mutation.
"The Thorns gained in that battle, and the 'Lord of Thorns' recorded in the ancient Dark and Obscurantist texts represents absolute justice, but His power cannot solve all the problems of the world, nor can it judge all living beings, He is flawed, so He surrounds the 'Light'. ”
"The original 'thorns' were very powerful, there is no doubt about it, but it was also almost associated with coldness, with suffering, with blood. ”
"Legend has it that in the camps of order, justice, and neutrality, if there is a dispute between the gods, it is usually decided by the goddess of justice, not by the 'Lord of Thorns...... In the early days of the Dark Age, a cunning human hero once gave the Lord of Thorns a problem that left him trapped in a 'moral labyrinth' for hundreds of years. ”
"To be sure, the previous 'Thorns' did not understand these incredible symbols, or that He was unwilling and unable to add them to his priesthood, and that He wanted to use the 'Thorn Code' to bring absolute justice to the world and to the creatures, but He did not really understand the world and the creatures. ”
But now, he began to understand. ”
"This is what the Holy Prophets and Holy Confessors say, 'The flower of truth shall bloom on thorns'?"
"This is probably one of the reasons for the reincarnation of the 'Thorn', who used one reincarnation to grow himself. ”
......
In the complicated and excited thoughts of the polymaths, Raphael spat out two words with a smile of joy, and in an unbelievable way, quelled the catastrophe that swept through the entire Origin Star.
At the same time, he did not ignore the "battle" that was going on before him.
Raphael did not give Charles I a chance to slash the second sword, and after quelling the disaster, he allowed the "Code of Thorns" in his hand to turn into a special holy thorn, which went straight around and bound the filthy Charles I.
Under those spikes, various symbols representing "truth" were quickly outlined, and with the birth of "buds", Charles I seemed to be frozen, maintaining a slashing posture, but unable to move again.
Beneath the sword of punishment he was holding, Donch withdrew his unscathed hand.
Received a slash from the "Incarnation of Light" with his bare hands, and did not suffer any damage, but half of Charles I's body was almost scorched?
Originally, the mysterious side felt incredible about the past achievements of Tang Qi, the "witch principal", and at this time, the big guys couldn't believe what they were seeing.
How is this possible?
The people who raised this question were the great men who did not also study polymath.
Scholars and researchers full of curiosity and poisonous eyes had already recognized Tang Qi's identity as a Crucible wizard when he summoned the "Crucible Lord's Roar", but that still did not explain why he was able to block a horrific slash from Charles I.
Tang Qi would not explain to them that at this moment, in the "Dream Country", on the Book of Nothingness, the Chaos Mushroom seemed to have undergone a rain watering, and it was rising at a terrifying speed, which caused the town of Deborah to move like an earthquake because of this.
However, these changes soon stopped.
Charles I's sword had been diminished by the Lord of the Furnace, and the remaining power was completely within his reach.
When he withdrew his hand, Tang Qi couldn't help but think of the "surprise" just now, the surprise from the Lord of the Furnace.
His previous guess was not wrong, he was most likely the last Forge Wizard of the Origin Star, although he was not actually religious, and when he was promoted to the professional level, he also used the "Soul Splitting Curse" to move his hands and feet, and if the Lord of the Forge wanted to kill his "believers" in the future, it was obviously impossible to do it.
Because he is the last believer, his summoning allows the awakened "Furnace" to give direct feedback, even if the other party is the embodiment of "Light", he is still hurt by a will of the Furnace.
"But judging from the style of 'The Furnace', it probably doesn't matter who is on the other side, whoever comes is still roaring. ”
"When the current disaster is completely subsided, find an opportunity to sacrifice some 'evil god organs' for this lord as a snack, although this will not save him from the end and madness. ”
Some thoughts came to Tang Qi's mind, and just as he thought of what Madame Rowling said that "the Lord of the Furnace is likely to go crazy to save himself", suddenly a pair of hairy palms appeared in front of him, and a handsome face full of curiosity, shock, and inexplicably a little cheap.
Jensen, who found that everything had "subsided", cautiously approached and tried to grope for Tang Qi with a curious face.
"Tang Qi, tell me quickly, which 'Sage' was possessed by you just now?"
"No, no, the strongest Sage, Martin Sims, has chosen the most handsome and powerful Jensen Possession, and it stands to reason that the other Sages can't beat Sims, which is also what Old Man Sims himself said...... So it seems that it is a god who has just possessed you?"
"Which one will it be, Gattis, the goddess of justice, or Naomi, the goddess of order?"
"Ah, I also want to be possessed by a goddess, so that a bad old man may not borrow my perfect, majestic body of Tiros. ”
Jensen complained a little "incoherently", and after trying to grope but was ruthlessly rejected by Tang Qi, he moved a pair of sheep's hooves and tried to walk towards Raphael, but at this time, Raphael's supreme divine brilliance that belongs to the "master" made him stop.
The expression on his face changed, flashing with reluctance that was not easy to detect.
"Knowing that your best friend is actually the reincarnation of a 'Dominant-level' god is enough to make any transcendent person go crazy, and then they will have to mix in the war between the two Masters, and their own chances of victory are slim, I am afraid that most transcendents will choose to retreat. ”
"Jensen should have known the truth before I did, he chose to accept the arrangement of the 'Holy Prophet', return to his secret realm of Tiros, and steal the relics of the Tyros clan, and lead the 'Holy Confessor' who turned into the stars to descend, not for the 'Lord of Thorns', but for Raphael. ”
"But now, he doesn't know if the self-awakening Raphael is Raphael now, or the thorns?"
Tang Qi moved his thoughts, turned sideways slightly, stood with Jensen, and looked at the glorious "Raphael", who had the same doubts as Jensen.
The answer will be revealed immediately.
As if seeing the doubts in the eyes of the two of them, and also feeling the reluctance in Jensen's heart, the supreme divine brilliance suddenly began to merge into the body, surrounded by holy thorns, and a young figure that was almost no different from the past appeared in front of the two.
His body is a little weak, he wears the simplest clothes, he is ******, and his temperament is restrained and quiet, like a young scholar who is intoxicated with research and learning.
"The gods walk the world, can they be old people, women, or children?"
"Before returning to the kingdom of God and re-ascending to the throne of God, Raphael is still Raphael, but he can use the power of 'thorns'?"
"After awakening, it will take a while for Raphael to become a 'thorn' again, and until then, he is still dominated by Raphael's will?"
"Or, he is both a thorn and a Raphael, and he retains his memories as a human being, and his humanity, which is not in conflict, there is no conflict between the Dark and the Obscurant, and there are gods who make friends with the creatures under the gods. ”
Many speculations were born in Tang Qi's mind, he didn't use special abilities, in addition to the high probability that he couldn't parse, he himself was more inclined to the last idea.
Or rather, he, like Jensen, wants Raphael to be the last.
Unlike him, who remained calm and felt the return of the extremely familiar aura, Jensen's furry face immediately showed a bright smile from the heart.
Then, under the incredulous gaze of the "big guys" who were still peeping, this guy jumped up to Raphael with a sheep's hoove, and directly gave him a warm sheep's hug.
"My instinct is right, Raphael, you are really not an ordinary human, but I didn't expect you to be the reincarnation of a god, it's too powerful. ”
"In the future, our 'combination' will not be able to accept any reward, and no matter how terrifying the case is, it will definitely not be difficult for us. ”
"By the way, I suddenly remembered that you said 'Thorns' before, oh that is, your previous life, and you had dealings with many goddesses, but your previous life was destined to be lonely, and you only wanted to spread the 'Thorn Code', discuss it, and when your memory is almost recovered, give me the contact information of the goddesses." ”
In Jensen's immodest voice, Tang Qi seemed to be aware of it, and subconsciously looked under the Tower of Babel.
He saw below, on the ruins of the ancient castle, the army of light that had climbed the thorns before, every knight of light, heavy armor, priest, nun, and red-robed bishop...... They all looked confused and frightened, and the most serious of them was Lancelot, the Holy Judge.
This strong man who transformed himself into an "immortal heroic spirit" and was almost a fanatical believer in the "Lord of Light" was unexpectedly not contaminated like the future Knight King Tristan, but he was in a very bad state, slumped in the ruins, his silver-white helmet and face armor were shattered, his blonde hair was scattered, and his handsome, righteous face was a broken look at the moment.
"Has faith collapsed?"
Tang Qi muttered, and then looked at the others.
Looking at the secret realm of the island in the middle of the lake, Tristan Sophia, who was suppressed by Sally and the witch group with a "mantra curse", and the vanguard army she led.
Look at the Cathedral of Myrthagoon, the turmoil that Stana and Archbishop John Wesley have stopped.
Look everywhere, the believers of the Light who have fallen back into a peaceful sleep.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Tang Qi found something and let out an exclamation.
At the same time, his heart was beating wildly again, more violently than before.
Almost at this moment, the others also discovered the new changes that appeared throughout the Origin Star.
The "gap" that had been opened in the heads of all the Light believers, the gap between the shedding of holy light and the depravity of filth, closed at the same time.
Along with it, there was also the "Bright Realm" that originally shrouded the entire Condor Federation.
It is endless, omnipresent, almost replacing the holy light of the moon, and all the wisps of it will return to heaven.
Seeing that the Federation will be swept away by night again, peace and tranquility seem to be about to return, but at this moment, no one feels this, and their heads are extremely stiff and turn to the top of the Thorn Babel Tower.
Together with Tang Qi, they saw a huge "gap" unfolding silently in the brilliant starry sky.
Bang!
It descended, and a thick, pitch-black pillar of light burst out from the huge gap, and the bound "Charles I" was directly submerged in it.
A "holy light" appeared within the pillar of light, but the concentration was unimaginably thin.
The rest, is filth, filth to the extreme.
It was as if it was the end of the world, and without any warning, it descended directly on the Holy Thorn Babel.
Endless contaminated flesh, wriggling, frantically infused into the body of "Charles I", that flesh and blood, except for black hair, pus, maggots...... In addition to the signs, it seems that the entire world of human beings has been stuffed into it.
And these human beings, before they die, are tortured.
The faces that emerge can only see pain, distortion, numbness, anger, resentment...... All the negativity can be found in it.
Charles I, start to swell!
He was turning into a filthy giant, and He didn't look at the peepers. But this did not affect at all, those big people who couldn't help but peep were once again hurt by the backlash, and although they did not contribute much to this disaster, their eyes were tormented.
But at the moment, they don't have time to recover from their injuries.
Everyone, including Donkey, was aware of the horrific events that were taking place.
"Lord of Light, He is transferring all the tainted parts of His body into the body of His human incarnation, Charles I. ”
......
"It's his instinct, and he's not really awakened yet...... A 'light' that really keeps a clear mind may not do that. ”
"Not necessarily?"
Tang Qi heard Raphael's calm voice coming, turned his head to look over, and for a moment he didn't know what kind of expression to show.
