Chapter 593: The Eternal Cage
John, who said this, obviously knew Herriss in front of him, and they didn't know when and where they had intersected. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your people are out there fighting for life and death, and you're here praying leisurely, what's the matter? Could this be the so-called bigwigs of the Templars? ”
Herris's words showed the usual frivolity, and she didn't seem to have the slightest fear in the face of the prestigious Templar Pope in front of her. She looked confident, not like she had been blinded by hatred.
"What is the point of caring about a war that has long been doomed?"
John maintained his sacrosanct majesty and looked at the other party with an indifferent expression.
"Oh? Do you no longer have any expectations for the Templar to win? Herris sneered.
"The decay of the Templar is a glorious guide, and all this is temporary, illusory, the Templar will never be destroyed, and no matter how many generations have passed, the Templar will stand in Elderan in the light of radiance." John said solemnly.
"Self-deception is really what God sticks are best at." Herris shook her head and sneered contemptuously.
John wasn't angry, but looked at her with a deep look, "You don't understand. ”
"I don't understand! I don't understand! I've had enough of what you're saying and don't understand! ”
John's succinct response inexplicably caused Herris to cry hysterically, as if she were dancing her arms like a cat that had suddenly been stimulated by some kind of fur.
"When you and your mentor fell in love with each other, you killed your most beloved woman if you didn't understand, when the mentor's life was dying, I begged you to see her for the last time, but you almost killed me with another sentence that you didn't understand, and now you use this sentence to reply perfunctorily, I want to know, what does it mean that you don't understand? Is the Pope's position really so important to you? Could it be that the woman and daughter you love are so worthless in your eyes? ”
John watched silently as Herris vented his manic emotions, even if the other party revealed a shocking scandal about the Templar Pope, he was still indifferent, he just raised his hand lightly and waved it upward, and in an instant, the entire chapel seemed to be cut off from the world, forming a claustrophobic space.
"All of this is a glorious guide."
"Do you think that a fluttering will undo your sins and faults? I'm not your believer! What I need is your honesty from the heart! Herris glared at John and shouted. Tell me! What are you doing all this for? ”
John was silent, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the ceiling above his head, and at some point, the scene of the brutal battle between the two camps under the Apocalypse Mountain was clearly displayed on the ceiling, and everyone's demeanor was vividly revealed. Herris looked up at the top of her head, not understanding why the other man was showing her this.
"How do you notice how they're different from your usual life?"
"I don't know." Although Herris had some guesses in her heart, she didn't want to say it directly,
"Did you notice their eyes? Beneath the surface of fanatical impulsive madness, there is an infinite emptiness. John said calmly. From the moment they appeared at the Mountain of Revelation, they were no longer themselves. ”
"What do you mean?" No matter how duplicitous she is, Herris can't help but be suspicious.
"Have you ever imagined that your fate was predestined from the beginning?" John replied as he asked.
"As a witch who advocates fate, no one understands fate better than us, and the laws and changes of the operation of all things in the world are in the hands of fate, which is an undoubted fact, there are no exceptions to anything, let alone the fate of people." Herris said with a cold face.
"Did Kashia hate me before the temporary?" John said suddenly.
“…… No, she even told me to forget about hatred, otherwise I will live in the pain of hatred for the rest of my life. Herris wanted to lie, but when it came to her lips, she revealed the truth.
"There is no hatred in Kashia's heart, because she knew from the beginning that it was all fate." John said softly. "Originally, she had a chance to change her fate, but in the end she still fell in love with me without hesitation, even though she knew she was going to die."
"You're lying!" Herris's eyes widened, clearly not believing the fact.
"At that time, I didn't have the ability to understand fate, and it wasn't until one day later that I heard the revelation of fate." A slight sadness appeared on John's calm face: "Fate dictates that I must kill Kashia, abandon my only daughter, and ascend to the papal throne admired by all......
"I felt like I heard a joke." Heris couldn't help but scoff. "A Templar who does not believe in brilliance but believes in fate, speaking out will surely surprise the eyes of everyone in Elderland."
"Brilliance is fate, destiny is brilliance, and when you stand high enough, you will find that there is no difference between the two in essence." John explained with a sigh.
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Herris said impatiently.
"I'm giving you the answer." John Dao.
"I will not accept such a ridiculous answer." Herris said coldly.
"Hatred has filled your mind, and it has affected your reason and judgment, and even I can't explain it, because now your heart is only thinking of revenge, and you think that you can only release all these years of resentment by killing me......," John said calmly.
"A long time ago, I asked myself if I could let go of hatred, and the answer was yes, but I couldn't, if one day I forgave you, my life would have no meaning, it sounds ridiculous and naïve, right? Yes! And all of this is given by you, because I want you to know that anyone who makes a mistake will have a time to pay the price. ”
Herris's face calmed down, and she reached out and slowly took out a short sword glowing green from her arms, she pointed the short sword at John in front of her, and said unhurriedly.
"Back then, you stabbed it into your mother's arms with this spell-breaking sword, and today I will return it to its original owner."
John looked at the dagger in her hand, a slightly sad look in his eyes, and then turned his gaze to Herris.
"You can't kill me with this sword alone."
"I admit that I am no match for you, and you have thought about it? Why do I have the courage to stand before you? Heris said.
"The blood sacrifice sacrificed itself to my death, this is the confidence that you dare to draw your sword from me, right?" John seems to have anticipated this.
"You even know that my hole cards dare to cut the space and face me alone?" Herris's pupils shrank.
"Do you know why I'm alone in the chapel?" At this time, John asked a question, and then gave a direct answer. "Because I know you're going to come here and kill me."
"Trick up!" Herris scolded.
"This is a glorious revelation, a guide of fate, and no one can resist the fact of change." John lowered his eyelids. "I've known a lot of things since the beginning."
"Huh! I didn't expect to be a pope all these years to make your brain stupid! Herris snorted.
"Perhaps, this is the sorrow of those of us who are sober, because we can never wake up those who are blinded by fate." John muttered softly, his words revealing endless sorrow, although he knew that this day would come, but he could not hide the pain in his heart, he had killed the woman he loved the most, and now he might kill his only blood.
Fate is playing tricks on people's hearts, and he is as powerless as he was back then.
"Old fellow! Do you have any last words to confess? Herris interrupted John's indulging with a voice.
"I'm sorry, my dear daughter—"
John, who said this, suddenly shone brightly, and before Herris could react, the entire space was shrouded in a golden light, her eyes widened and she wanted to escape, but her body froze uncontrollably in place and could not move, and she could only drown in the sea of light and lose consciousness.
The next moment, in the Sistine Chapel, John's figure reappeared, he looked at the place where Herris stayed just now, his expression was blank, and it took a long time to show a trace of bitterness and relief, everything was doomed from the beginning, sometimes you think that you have exhausted the mechanism, and the clinker is all in the hands of others.
When you gain insight into your destiny, the world will no longer have any secrets for you.
Unfortunately, there are only a handful of people who can understand their fate.
……
……
In the battle of Apocalypse Mountain, the elite of the camps represented by the "Subversive Fangs" and the "Radiant Sanctuary" were exhausted, and this epic battle that could be called a crazy feast directly led to the heavy losses of all forces that Elderland had inherited for countless years, and it was no longer the glory that once turned the clouds and rain. In particular, the "Glorious Sanctuary", which has ruled the hegemony of the mainland since the War of the New Faith, has been completely knocked into the dust and has since withdrawn from the stage of history.
As a witness to the changes of the times, Xia Lan saw with his own eyes that the Apocalypse Mountain had become a dead place for thousands of miles, and the chaotic laws even affected the whole world, since the day the end of the Great War, the sky has been shrouded in gray clouds, and the rain seems to continue to fall endlessly, more and more countries and people have begun to suffer from natural disasters, among which the undead of Sugro and the Heather Empire, who have wantonly killed and destroyed, have stopped their wars, because no one dares to kill themselves in the face of the harsh climate, Fortunately or unfortunately, Elderland was able to regain his brief peace.
Wandering aimlessly on a journey with no end, Xia Lan didn't know where to go in the future, in this world, he no longer had enemies, no tasks that he had to force to complete, no beliefs he had insisted on before, when he appeared in the Apocalypse Mountain, he had already obtained the answers he wanted.
The world is a cage, a cage of "artificial" control.
From beginning to end, everyone, including him, was actually under the control of the cage.
His whole life has been arranged by the so-called system, and the system is precisely the one who controls it from the cage.
When he decided to break away from the system and no longer be controlled by the cage, as a result, "human" interference caused the world to collapse completely.
Looking up at the gloomy sky, the rain has been falling, and no one will clear up when.
And Xia Lan faintly felt that perhaps, this rain would continue to fall until it flooded the whole world.
