Chapter 255: The Choice of Divinity
"It's spring. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
In just a week's work, the white army was driven out of Jutland by the green of the prairie fire, the snow on the land soon began to melt, colorful fungi and grass that had just sprouted appeared, and the gentle breeze also replaced the previous violent blizzard, the only thing that did not change was the sea that was still frozen, more than ten meters of ice, the temperature warmed up and spring came, and it still took more than a month to completely thaw.
At this time, it had been a week since Semiramis woke up, and after a week of recuperation and recovery, the injuries from the battle and the sequelae of using [Sun Flame Burst] had completely healed.
Now she is sitting on a white chair, wearing a black gauze dress, revealing her reverie shoulders and collarbones, her feet are crossed, and she is wearing a pair of small sandals that are also pitch black, revealing ten pink and cute little toes, leaning out slightly, picking up a cup of black tea that still exudes a little heat from the small white round table in front of her, twisting it slightly, and speaking.
"Spring has arrived, and time flies. β
Alice next to her couldn't help but sigh, only felt that half a year of hard work, she had experienced a lot of things, from going to Ascaron in Ascaronia to retrieve Semiramis, and then met Francis Drake on the Mediterranean, involved in the civil war in Egypt for Alexandria, finally returned to Jutland, and did not rest for long, and because of Atira, she had to organize an expedition to Scandinavia to help Beowulf, and before she could relax, when she was halfway back, the news that Semiramis had been attacked came again, and there was a fierce battle with a legendary vampireβ¦β¦ Those things and those things on the top, ordinary people will never encounter even one in their life, but Alice has encountered all of them, and on the top of each thing, she can appear as a winner.
At this time, Alice did not wear the black clothes she usually liked to wear, but more cold, the white dress made her exude a charming fragrance like a white lily, lying on her side on the chair, a lazy and unenergetic appearance but reminiscent of a well-fed kitten, the bottom of the white dress showed sleeve-length legs, and Semiramis was different, Alice's skin tone was more white than the white of pearls, under the warm spring sun, emitting a faint fluorescence, she took out a chocolate from the pile of snacks on the table, stuffed it into her mouth, and the fragrant cocoa mixed with saliva quickly spread in her mouth, The sweet taste made the corners of Alice's mouth tilt slightly.
"Sister, really, don't move. β
Qier, who was standing behind Alice and was using a comb to arrange Alice's hair, hurriedly called, because of Alice's sudden movements, she couldn't help but be in a hurry, and at the same time, she also took advantage of the gap in her speech to glance at the peak in front of Semiramis's chest imperceptibly, and then lowered her eyes to look at the plain on her chest, puffing out her mouth.
Because of the end of winter, the arrival of spring, and the warming of temperatures, the girl at this time had already taken off her previous sweater, and then put back on her tights made of black gauze, revealing a healthy brown skin and tight muscles underneath, Qi'er's purple hair was combed into a crisp ponytail, and there was a distressed smile on her face.
Although the girl's facial features are not as beautiful as Semiramis, not as cold as Brunhilde, and not as beautiful as Alice's own, but Qil herself also has her own charm, perhaps because of the tragic experience of her youth and the harsh and cold training she experienced in the [Old Man in the Mountain], Qi's coldness like a poisonous snake in front of outsiders, and her well-behaved appearance like a rabbit in front of Alice, which is what Alice likes about her.
"Alice, what's going on with that vampire in the back?"
Now that there is a change in the main plane, Semiramis has cut off contact with Bashim and Mu Xiufuxiu, and he can't get information from them at all, and he doesn't know whether Smir's fate was killed by Alice or driven away by her.
"Dead. β
Alice took out a small crystal bottle from her bosom, and in the middle of the bottle, an object as thick as a strand of hair was emitting an icy blue light, which was more brilliant than all the jewels in the world, and all the pearls in the sea combined were not as beautiful as it...... This is divinity, something that all men, all gods, all heavens and all things cannot endure, and that is the secret of immortality, eternity and power.
"This is the last thing from that guy, and everything else has been solved by a [splitting] of mine. β
The things in Alice's mouth include Smir's soul and body, as well as the clothes and weapons on his body, except for divinity, all of which turned into ashes and disappeared into this world, of course, Alice also regretted it a little afterwards, after all, it was a precious legendary soul and corpse, and it was still a little waste to disappear like this, but this idea was swallowed up by anger in a blink of an eye, after all, the other party was the murderer who hurt Semiramis, but killing him like this is cheap.
Semiramis just snapped and didn't say much, picked up his fork and stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth, munching on it in a muffled voice.
"What's going on with Royce, anyway, she's an old man who follows you, and she has a reputation second only to you on the harpy's side, so it's too anxious to dismiss her casually. β
"Moreover, what she did was also what I ordered......"
"Semiramis, you still don't understand?"
Alice interrupted her without waiting for her to finish, she reached out and took the tissue handed by Qier, gently wiped the corners of her mouth with the remnants of chocolate, and asked with a serious face.
The atmosphere of the tea party has also become solemn because of Alice's attitude, and it is no longer the relaxed and freehand just now.
"As long as you don't become a legend, you don't become a god, you are weak in this world, and the weak have no choice to go all out, at that time you want Royce to go back and transfer the army, and you and Alika stay where you are, thinking that just this way you can destroy the enemy here. β
"As a result, Alika died, and you were seriously injured, and you didn't expect such a situation, Senpai, Senpai. β
"Whether it's Basium, or that manticore, these are external forces, even me, they are all external forces, only your own strength is really powerful, senior sister, you actually know these things, since you know, why do you always run away? Can evasion solve the problem? If I don't arrive just in time this time, what will happen, senior sister, can't you guess?"
The title of senior sister is Alice's name for Semiramis in the ivory tower when she was a student, and this title disappeared from Alice's mouth with the end of her student days, and now in this place that can be called home, hearing such a familiar feeling again, Semiramis couldn't help but feel a trance in front of her eyes, as if she had returned to her student days, when the two were still girls.
"Now is the time to start the path to advanced legends, senior sister. β
Face up to the bloodline from the fish god in your body, improve your strength by absorbing the divinity that suits you, and then break through the legendary level...... Demigods are completely different from other legends, the reason why they are called demigods is because the children of these gods have the possibility of becoming gods, as long as they take the last half of the foot, continue to strengthen the divinity in their bodies, and discover the secrets left to them by their parents, each of them can easily become a god, of course, the so-called ease is also compared with others, the real situation is that among the thousands of demigods, there may not be one who finally becomes a god.
"Senior sister, these three are all divinities that are suitable for you. β
In addition to Smir's divinity on the table, Alice took out two identical bottles from her bosom, which contained a divinity of similar color but a slightly different breath.
As the daughter of the fish god, Semiramis is most suitable for the divinity related to water, whether it is the cold divinity taken from Smir, the sea divinity obtained from Amon Hotep, and the sea divinity obtained from the body of the dragon that was torn to pieces, all of which are incomparably compatible with the attributes of Semiramis, which can be easily absorbed by her.
In fact, there is also a trace of divinity that is suitable for Semiramis, the divinity in the body of the son of Poseidon who was imprisoned by Alice in the [Blood Pool] of the City of Death and kept bleeding...... But now Alice still needs him to replenish and enhance the strength of the vampires, so she didn't take out his divinity and kill him completely.
As long as she chooses one of the three and absorbs a trace of it casually, coupled with the original divinity in Semiramis's body and the usual accumulation, she can easily complete the breakthrough and become a true legend, taking the first step towards the position of the gods.
"Well, these two divine masters are still very powerful, and they are not suitable for your current absorption. β
Alice stretched out her hand and took back one of them, it was the divinity of Falkus given by the abandoned pharaoh Amon hotep, he was the son of Gaia, the first god of the sea and the earth god in Olympus, although there was little news about him in the main plane, and it was rare to see his followers carrying out activities, but there was no doubt that he was powerful, and now Semiramis did not even have a legend, and he could not absorb this trace of divinity at all, if he forcibly absorbed it, the light one would make Semiramis's soul suffer a heavy blow, and the heavy one would be that Semiramis's body was occupied by this trace of divine consciousness, and the original soul dissipated directlyγ
The remaining two traces of divinity, their masters are only at the level of legends, and most importantly, their masters have completely died, and even their souls have disappeared, for the current Semiramis, these two traces of divinity can be simply absorbed without fear of anything.
One represents the cold that freezes everything, and the other represents the deep sea
What is the choice, Alice looked at Semiramis's beautiful face, with great anticipation in her eyes
ββ¦β¦ Alice, you're right. β
There was no quibble, and there was no excuse for himself, in front of his lover, Semiramis admitted his mistake so generously, even Qil behind Alice opened his mouth in surprise, and he couldn't believe that such an arrogant person as Semiramis still had time to bow his head.
The girl in black stood up from her chair and walked to the table, her hands propped up on the table, her head bowed at the two bottles of intoxicating divinity, and fell silent.
"Do you still need to choose?"
Suddenly, Semiramis burst out laughing, she shook her head, muttered, and picked up one of the bottles without hesitation, and seeing Semiramis's choice, Alice breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed her tense muscles, and leaned back on the back of the chair.
"Looks like you've decided. β
"Yes, it's time to decide, obviously I have made up my mind not to run away before, but I still haven't taken a single step so far. β
Semiramis's face once again had that calm smile.
Although both traces of divinity are suitable for Semiramis, the divinity from the deep sea dragon is still a little better than Smir's, and unlike Alice, Semiramis, as the son of the gods, already has a trace of divinity and a trace of the ocean in her body, plus her qualifications are not as good as the legendary lich with the help of the [Book of the Dead], so it is better for Semiramis to choose Jing than to choose Bo.
"It's not just Senpai. β
Alice turned her head to look at the purple-haired girl, with a serious face that had not gone away just now.
"Qi'er, you also need to work hard to break through the legend as soon as possible. β
"I don't have a divinity in my hands that suits you, but you're in a different situation than Semiramis. β
"You are not a child of God, absorbing too much divinity is not good for your body, what you need now is to learn to use the trace of divinity in your body, and when you fully use it, then it will not be far from the legend. β
"Yes, sister. β
Qi'er nodded seriously, the purple-haired girl absolutely believes in Alice, she believes in everything about her sister, this belief has surpassed the trust between sisters, to the point of fanatical faith, even if Alice tells her to die now, she will not hesitate to break herself.
After making a good choice, then Semiramis and Alice are no longer in a hurry, absorbing divinity and breaking through legends are very time-consuming things, before Semiramis goes to retreat, they still have a lot of things to discuss, at least in terms of internal affairs, Alice is not as good as Semiramis.
It has been several years since Alice established Jutland, and several years of development and construction are not as good as Semiramis's toss in just a few months, and this is what makes Alice, who has just returned to Jutland, ashamed.
And the reason why Royce was removed was also out of this consideration, in order to increase Semiramis's authority and cut out the old man's block, so as to facilitate Semiramis's ascension, of course, most of it was because of Alice's dissatisfaction with Royce's previous behavior...... The so-called self-inflicted cleverness is the most hopelessly stupid.
