Chapter 22 My Glory Will Be Coronated

Su Mo noticed the only oil painting hanging on the wall, because the wall was cluttered, so no one noticed its existence, "Where is the tower on this painting?" ”

The pitch-black tower couldn't see the height, and the familiarity made Su Mo particularly uncomfortable. It is as if www.biquge.info have been judged and punished here, where hot blood is spilled on every inch of the land, and anger and uneasiness come from the inside out.

The painting is very detailed, and the painter not only meticulously depicts numerous figures, but also cuts off a top with clouds at the top of the tower, and paints a looming top of the tower on the clouds to show the terrible height to which the tower has been built.

The tower is located on the seaside, and there are docked boats on the beach in the right corner. In the distance, there are dense houses, which show a vast and unpleasant scenery of the plains.

The superintendent of the tower of the Shinar was leading a group of guards to check the truth about the halt: the noisy craftsmen had dispersed, and only a few remained to wait for the superintendent's arrival, one of whom knelt down to the superintendent to explain the complexity of the accident, but it seemed that his words were also incomprehensible to the superintendent and the guards. Directly in front of the tower, there is a "landslide", and the situation is obviously out of control.

"The Tower of Babel, Bruegel's oil painting. In this painting of biblical allegory, Bruegel shows the irreconcilability of "providence" and man in transforming the world, and the struggle between man and nature is heroic and tragic at the same time. Yagami Ryuzaki explained.

The unforgettable Yagami Ryuzaki can be called a moving encyclopedia. The books in the entire library were in his mind, as if they were in his pocket, and he could take them out when he needed them.

In the 11th chapter of the Bible, the Old Testament, Genesis, it is stated that mankind was united to build a tower that hoped to lead to heaven. In order to stop the human plan, God made the human beings speak different languages, so that the human beings could not communicate with each other, and the plan failed, and the human beings scattered from then on. "This story is an attempt to explain the emergence of different languages and races in the world, but the deeper meaning is the struggle between humans and God." There is a lot in common between the Tower of Babel, which is the ladder to the realm of the gods, and alchemy, the mystical technology that equates humans with gods. ”

"Oh, the mentor still understands this? I can't afford to lose, how can I say that I am a self-proclaimed erudite and handsome senior. Not to be outdone, "According to the Jewish Bible, after the Flood, the first rainbow appeared in the sky, and God came and said, 'I have placed the rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of my covenant with the earth, and when I make the cloud cover the earth, a rainbow will appear in the cloud, and I will remember my covenant with you and with every living creature of flesh and blood; And the waters will no longer overflow, and they will no longer destroy every living creature of flesh,' and God made a covenant with the people of the earth by the rainbow that he would not destroy the earth by the great flood. ”

Xiao Luo spread his hands helplessly and motioned to Yagami Ryuzaki to continue explaining.

Yagami Ryuzaki looked proud, "But the human race became suspicious of God's oath, so they began to build the Tower of Babel. God found that his oath was being questioned, and God did not allow humans to doubt their oath, just as we do not like others to doubt us, and God decided to punish these people who forgot their promises, just as he punished Adam and Eve, who stole the forbidden fruit. So, he quietly left Heaven and came to earth, changing and distinguishing the language of the human race, so that they were scattered everywhere because of the language barrier, and the tower finally fell halfway. ”

Su Mo sneered, "God? God? Mankind? What's the difference? ”

Xi Ran tasted the honey cake specially prepared for her, "The so-called God is naturally a special symbol created by human beings to represent some kind of power that can change the rules, or is beyond the scope of human ability. ”

"For example...... God! Su Mo said, "God possesses a power that cannot be compared with human beings, and in an era when science and technology are not so advanced, it is very likely to be regarded as a miracle." Every country has its own gods, ancient Chinese mythology, ancient Greek mythology, Norse mythology, Celtic mythology, the myths of each country have striking similarities. ”

"The myths of all countries are actually branches of world mythology, and the so-called gods exist everywhere in the world, but they are given different titles in different regions." Owl Road.

Bingo (Bingo refers to a game of filling in the grid, in which the first winner in the game is named after shouting "Bingo" to indicate victory. Now it's not just in the game, it means that you answered correctly, guessed correctly, or did something. As a mentor, the guess was completely correct. The world is obviously in the same dimension, how can there be so many completely different worlds? It's just because of the differences in culture that different myths are promoted. And the initiator of all this is the so-called God. God distinguished the language of mankind, and cultures were scattered and gradually divided. Yagami Ryuzaki tried his best to recall the texts, his eyes scattered.

So God is not a mythical figure, but all gods? In order to fight against the united humans, the gods had to change their language to make it impossible for humans to communicate. Xiran asked.

"Is the Tower of Babel a firing table?" Su Mo asked coldly.

Silence, silence for all. They didn't know why Su Mo asked this, but from Su Mo's eyes, they could see firmness, without a hint of joke.

As Summer said, the whole tower gives people a feeling of oppression. It's as if an invisible chain binds some huge creature to the Tower of Babel, allowing the rain and the wind to blow and the eagle to peck at the falcon.

Pitch-black flames ignited from the ground and quickly scurried up the tower. The tower was so tall that the flames never burned to the top. Blood-red rain fell from the sky and poured down on the tower. The fire and rain blended, as if the flames were being ignited by diesel fuel, and suddenly a very high pillar of fire burst up.

The arrogant man who was convicted of rebellion looked up at the sky, the black sky, the black clouds, the black sun and the moon, the world seemed to have no light. Pitch-black flames and blood-red rain passed through him, and he didn't give in a bit.

He spoke, as if the spring breeze was caressing in his ears, and his voice was very soft, but very clear: "My glory will eventually be crowned." I swear by noble blood and supreme glory that when the blood-red moon hangs again above the firmament, my dark wings will once again obscure your vision, and nothing but despair awaits you. ”

I will not be afraid of you, for you are unworthy! Your so-called dignity is worthless in front of me. Only my glory is the supreme glory, which is my pride and the necessity of the creation of all things.

"Why do you say that?" Xiran reacted and asked.

Su Mo shook his head, "There is no reason, it just feels like I see a person trapped in the Tower of Babel by layers of heavy locks, enduring torture, but the pride on his face does not have a trace of the emptiness of a sinner." ”

"You say a person?" Yagami Ryuzaki noticed something, "This tower is as high as it seems to be able to pull down the eagle in the sky, you say that a person is trapped here?" How tall does that person have to be? Could it be Ymir, the giant of frost in the Golden Lunga Chasm? How big does it have to be to say that? ”

"No, I'm sure, that's a person." Su Mo said firmly.

I could see it very clearly, and I even felt that the person who was tied to the tower was myself. If I'm not human, then what am I? God? Or is it a monster?

"You're just too soft. Softness from the inside out, that's your weakness. If you don't become rigid, you will never be able to become strong. The unwillingness to accept my power is simply unreasonable. ”

The arrogant voice sounded in the ears, the same voice as the arrogant man who was punished, noble and soft, like a soft spring breeze. The wind blows everything away, as if nothing is so important anymore.

Memories are like sand flowing between your fingers, ungraspable and unfathomable. I can only watch him slowly disperse in the palm of his hand until there is nothing left.

Su Mo's head suddenly hurt, as if a fierce beast had broken free from its restraints and galloped out in his mind. Sharp hisses, sharp claws, a sense of familiarity, these small things are intertwined, but they collapse in an instant.

Su Mo, who was heavy and lacking pressure, was out of breath, as if he was trapped in a closed space without oxygen, quietly waiting to suffocate to death. What did I forget? Why are memories so fragile? Who tore away the memories that should have belonged? What's in there? What secrets do you have to be thorough?

"If it's really human, then there's only one possibility." Xiao Luo stopped Yagami Ryuzaki, who was about to angrily accuse Su Mo of nonsense, "That could be alchemy, the mysterious technology that can make humans compare with gods. ”

Xiao Luo put down the vodka in his hand, their Northeast men have always been blowing on the bottle when drinking, even if it is a strong drink like vodka, he also habitually poured it directly, "Through alchemy, make human beings become gods, and then just like what you see in your hallucination." He was discovered by God to have broken the rules set by God, was judged by God, and was finally put to death here. ”

"If it's really alchemy, then there must be an alchemy matrix on this island? However, there is no alchemy matrix on this painting, which is completely unfounded. Yagami Ryuzaki raised his doubts, which is why he denied Sumo.

Xiao Luo smiled and said, "No, you're wrong, there is a very obvious alchemy matrix on this map."

"Where?" No one saw it, including Su Mo.

Xiao Luo looked at the mysterious painting carefully, his eyes and brain were working at high speed, "There are a total of 108 figures in the whole painting, and these figures all surround this tower. If you connect them with wires, you will find that it is a large alchemy matrix, an alchemy matrix that covers the entire Tower of Babel. The larger the alchemy matrix, the stronger the alchemy power. What is such a huge alchemy power used for? In short, it can't be just for the rain, it's really idle and boring, making a big fuss. ”

yes, what exactly is such a huge alchemy matrix used for? It's scary when you think about it.
