Chapter 149: Vortex
"That's all?" muttered the Fork in the Road Demon, "Even the lowliest devil can do better than you......
The head of the devil in the mirror closed its eyes and reopened them after a while: "There was only a very small increase, and only one growth, which gave off the stench of griffon's breath." What is a geist and where is it?"
Renault also found it strange. When the soul dagger stabbed the geist, it was obvious that there was a warm sensation in the hand, so it must have absorbed the soul energy. The absorbed energy should go directly to the soul crystal, right?
The fork in the road says that this situation is absolutely impossible.
The Hell Throne Room is the root of Reynolds' resurrection and must be thoroughly mastered, and there can be no unsolved mysteries. So Renault thought about it and decided to try the Eagle School meditation technique to see if he could find something. According to the old man Kiplin, meditation is the power of the spirit, and the body has only a small auxiliary role in the process. It is able to have the ability to observe the whole area, and it has never relied on something on its face.
Meditation can also be used in hell, only spirits, but with a slight difference. When Renault's vision changes, the entire room changes, even Renault Hale and the Fork in the Road. Starting from the Crystal Throne, the blood red belonging to the devil spreads outward, and the originally dim, black and white hall is soon impregnated with red. Then, the red that covered all the planes began to converge, and if the fire was the same, it added to the burning flames on the walls. Under the gaze of the man and the demon, a torch grew out of thin air from beneath the flames, followed by a metal bracket that held the entire torch in place.
The hall brightened up. It's not the red of hell, it's not just black and white, it's like a real underground cavern. The soil is the color of the soil, the rocks are the rocks, and the rhizomes of unknown plants come to life β it's like a human being.
There are only two differences. Through the meditation technique Eagle Eye Perception, Renault can penetrate walls to a certain extent. He saw more than a dozen clusters of orange-yellow warm light behind the dirt and rocks, flickering on and off, with the rhythm of a heartbeat.
In addition, he found the geist as he wished. It already has a human form.
The geist should not have been complete, after all, it was only a part of the marshmallow energy that remained in the castle after the last winter. However, after being absorbed by the Soul Dagger and coming to Hell, it did not become nourishment like the griffin soul, but instead broke away from the Soul Crystal Pillar and formed a head, body, and limbs.
The fork in the road demon stared at it, and then it was all surprised: "There is no face, no physical features, and it is still gray and white, this is a prayer person......! How can it be a prajor?"
At the time of death, if a soul has a strong and firm faith, or through the direct intervention of divine power, it will be able to enter the realm of the god to whom the faith is based, and become a resident thereβ"going to heaven after death" and "going to hell after death" is almost the case. The smoother this process is, the more likely it is that the invoke will retain his consciousness, and some particularly powerful souls will even be able to retain their power during life. In the process of sublimating into a suoper, the soul will embody the characteristics of faith, divine power, or corresponding plane, but most of them are still in human form.
The invoker cannot leave the realm of the gods, but they can act on their own and continue to contribute their faith to the gods. And those who come to hell can directly pass the stage of low-level devils and directly become middle-level cadres. Therefore, the invoker is always a more valuable being than a mere soul.
But the situation in front of me feels weird. First of all, there is nothing about this invoker who should belong to hell. He has no claws and sharp teeth, no tail and horns, and no red devil skin. Of course, he doesn't have the wings of an angel, the armor of an Order, or the iridescent aura of Chaos. It has no character, and therefore no tendencies, which is contrary to the principle of the invoker itself.
Moreover, it is in hell and has not been assimilated by hell. Renault has no divine powers, no ability to expand the realm, and the Devil's territory is only a dilapidated underground hall, so it cannot shelter the Supplicants. When the conjugator comes to the seventh level of hell, it is normal for them to be quickly absorbed into something like nourishment, masonry, and the like. However, the person in front of him is stable and able to walk. The only problem was that it kept walking towards the wall to the left of the throne, constantly banging against the wall.
"Behind the wall in that direction should be the turbulence of space dragged from the Earth. Renault looked at the man and the demon in the mirror and asked them for advice: "Why don't you dig it up this time and see what happens?"
The man in the mirror frowned, a little reluctantly. The fork in the road demon nodded violently, his eyes full of curiosity.
With a pickaxe, Renault transforms into a miner and digs a hole in Minecraft. Last time, it took him more than an hour to dig the way to the Soul Crystal, so his body remained in a pool of blood for another hour. This retreat is not afraid of being disturbed, so you can not rush back and stay for more mining.
Seeing that he had begun to dig the wall, the prayer had understood his intention and stopped banging his head against the wall. It "looked" at Renault with a face devoid of facial features and expressions, and waited patiently on the sidelines.
"The hell I saw, I was the only one working on. β
Almost two hours later, the wall was dug through. The earth and rocks that fell on the ground disappeared, and the holes in the walls automatically turned into square, neat passages. The passage connects this other hall, which is filled with blue water. Since the room is roughly a cube, this is the "Water Cube".
There is water from the floor to the ceiling, but there is some kind of regular constraint that prevents it from flowing into the passage. The surface of the "Water Cube" is flat and smooth, without the slightest ripple, like smoothed marble. But its interior is filled with swirls of large and small, chaotic entanglements. Some are as thick as barrels, some are snake-like, and some appear and disappear quickly like meteors.
In the whirlpool, there is a constantly flickering picture. Renault saw his office, with computers and stationery. It's just that these pictures are all fragmented, and there is a phenomenon similar to frame skipping.
Computer game production is Renault's profession, and frame skipping is a common phenomenon in this industry, which can be solved by optimizing (conscience) and improving configuration (liver bursting). Renault misses this phenomenon a lot, and he hears the fork in the road demon shouting loudly, "Spatial turbulence, spatial turbulence!"
The Merger nodded to Renault and walked straight into the Water Cube. The vortex swallowed it up in an instant, then retreated slightly. In other words, on the side near Renault, there is a part of the water, without the interference of the whirlpool.
