Chapter 379: Common Sense
"Boom!"
The moment Serol raised his hand, the entire temple was shaken.
But it's only at the level of "shock"... The bricks and stones engraved with the silent runes were like a bell of the Great Lu, playing solemn notes in the vibration, turning the violent vibration into invisibility.
"The power of the Holy Cross?"
A disdainful smirk appeared on Seliol's face.
"Exactly. With a look of pity, Eckhart's gaze swept over the body of Archbishop Innocent, and after the shock, only blood remained on the ground:
"This is the central sanctuary of the Golovin Cathedral, the land where the Holy Cross first descended its divine power, where every brick and stone is inscribed with the verses of the Old Scriptures. ”
"It is enough to bring everything that does not belong to the power of the Holy Cross... Suppress them all!"
With a wave of his hand, the black mist that rolled up dissipated in front of Eckhart, and disappeared without a trace.
"Really?!"
Seliol's eyes widened, and the sinister smile on the corner of his mouth began to become crazy: "Then let's try it, madman!"
"Then let me see... Let's see if you, the inferior product created by the Holy Grail, really have the qualifications to challenge the gods!"
With the raising of his right hand, countless black mist rose from all corners of the temple, turning into a sharp spear like a substance, sweeping towards Eckhart's figure.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the black mist that had condensed into substance shattered and dissipated in the air with Eckhart's raised gesture.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang......"
The thick black fog dissipated in patches, like the dew and snow that melted in the sun, or rather rather "never appeared", leaving no trace and dissipating into the air invisible.
These forces, which are not "recognized" by the Holy Cross and completely violate the laws of the material world, are completely obliterated the moment they approach Eckhart.
I see......
At that moment, Selior, whose eyes were wide open, suddenly realized.
The real Eckhat de Salion had died that night, and what appeared to him now was nothing more than an empty shell of the consciousness of "Eckhart de Salion" created by those who had found loopholes in the rules set by the Holy Cross and used their own "contingency measures".
In other words, it was precisely because of his appearance that he was finally born... The cleverness of the humble ants of the material world, Seriel thought.
But... Apparently it's not all.
If only the loopholes in the rules of the Holy Cross are exploited, then "Eckhart de Salion" is nothing more than a puppet used by the Holy Cross to resist itself, and it is impossible for him to have such power.
Another source of his power is the Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail.
More precisely, it is sustained by the Holy Grail, the laws of the material world.
The power of the Holy Cross, the Holy Grail of the Nine-Pointed Star, the laws of the material world... He used these three at the same time to make him "resurrected" at this moment, at this moment, and had the power to confront himself!
Even his own appearance was in his expectation and calculation?
"Bang!"
The last of the black mist dissipated at Serol's side, and the sudden change even made him unsteady on his feet, and he took half a step back in a trance.
Black Cross, he has not yet fully adapted to the laws of the material world ... Eckhart's eyes flashed, but he didn't do much.
"That's right, it's the look and the look. ”
Still breezy and light, Eckhart stepped forward and stared: "The gods on top, have you finally realized it?"
"The moment you came down to earth and showed your divine powers... You, too, have given us these humble and worthless existences... Hurt your chances. ”
"Hurt me?!"
Seliol's smile became more and more dangerous: "What are you going to do, use the power of the Holy Cross that you have mastered by drilling loopholes, miscellaneous?!"
"You don't seem to know... The Holy Cross, its inspiration, its will, its powers... It's all from me!"
"Are you counting on the existence I created with my own hands to destroy me?!"
"Nope. Eckhart shook his head slightly:
"It's me... Eckhart de Salion... With my arrogance, with the very existence you have created, I will destroy you completely. ”
As he spoke, countless black mist overflowed from Serol's body under the hood and burqa, and it had already swept towards him.
In the flash of light, Eckhart had raised his right hand.
"Bang!"
A dull sound rang out, and the black fog swirling in the air vanished.
But that didn't stop more black mist from rolling and rushing towards him.
"Could it be that I didn't believe enough in my previous explanation, and you misunderstood something. Eckhart's face did not change with a flick of his right hand, and he waved it to his side, dispersing the black mist:
"In this temple, all the powers that do not belong to the Holy Cross will ......"
The words came to an abrupt end.
Eckhart's eyes widened for a few seconds, staggering back a step.
Blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, but Eckhart, who didn't have time to wipe the blood, stared at his chest just now, at that moment, the black mist that was scattered by his own hand was at that moment... It seems to have turned into a spear that runs through his chest.
Could it be......
"Hallucinations?"
The sneering Serol looked at Eckhart, and the withered hands stretched out from under the burqa slowly raised, rolling the black mist: "Only you, the dregs of the material world, can have this 'unique' idea. ”
"In the void, information and emotion are everything, and independent consciousness constitutes the whole meaning of its existence, thinking, thinking... That's everything!"
The swirling black mist completely enveloped Eckhart, churning up and down.
"Poof!poof!"
The sound of flesh tearing continued to sound, and the dissipated black mist turned into arrows, spears, sharp arrows, blades... Piercing, tearing, slashing, and stabbing into Eckhart's body.
"The power not to be allowed by the Holy Cross... Let me teach you one last common sense, scum. ”
In the sound of cruelty, Seliol approached step by step: "For the power of the void, only the strong and the weak can override the weak, and the weak will be suppressed and obliterated by the powerful, causing even a little damage... It's also an extravagant hope!"
"This is the Void World, the most basic law!"
The black mist dissipated, and the motionless Eckhart's body trembled, and the blood gushing out soaked him into a bloody man, but his body was not damaged in the slightest.
The power from the Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail ensured that he was protected by the laws of the material world, and would not be damaged by any spiritual power from the void, and could not truly kill him.
"It's really... Is that so?"
The black mist rolled up in Seriel's palm, changing with the flick of his withered fingers.
The rising black mist turned into a raging flame.
The flames turned into glowing blue balls of electricity again, floating in the palm of his hand.
Eckhart raised an eyebrow, his expression changing slightly.
"Surprised... Nothing surprising. Seliorto held his palm:
"Back to the roots, I... Black Cross Serol... It was the original wizard who used the power of the void to deceive the world and transform it into a form of power that existed in the material world, which was just a ridiculous little trick. ”
"Since I can't kill you with the power of the Void, then use the power of this world to kill you... It's very simple. ”
In the next second, the lightning turned into a crystallized ice pick, and pounced on the bloodied Eckhart with Serol's gesture.
"Whew!"
At the moment when he was about to be pierced by ten thousand arrows, Eckhart raised his right hand suddenly, and thousands of icicles seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall, blocking him from a distance of three steps.
The crisp cracking sound continued to explode in the quiet hall.
No, not blocked, but ... Melted?!
The discolored Serol froze in place, watching as countless ice picks turned into a wave of heat, rolling at Eckhart's gesture and lunging towards him.
"Boom!"
The heat dissipated, and the swirling air protected Serol in the center like an impregnable wall, without hurting a single hair of his cold hair.
"Since it is a power that conforms to the laws of this world, the moment he appears, he can naturally fall into the control of the power of the Holy Cross and the Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail... Mine, under control. ”
Waving his hand to disperse the heat wave around him, Eckhart calmly observed Seliol's every move: "These are very simple truths. ”
Seriel, who had a blue face, had a very difficult expression to see.
"Really?"
As soon as the flame rose from his right hand, Selior glared at the fearless Eckhart with a gaze like a dead man: "Then let me... Black Cross Serol... See for yourself ......"
"You fake shell, how far can you go!"
"Boom !!!"
The flames of the explosion engulfed Eckhart's figure.
The flames dispersed, scattering the ashes of Mars and scattering them, and Eckhat de Salion, consumed by the flames... Unscathed.
Seliol's expression changed suddenly.
"Sure enough, as I guessed......"
Standing in the ashes, Eckhart muttered to himself.
"What?"
"Your Excellency is indeed the strongest person standing at the top of the Void World, and your mastery and understanding of the power of the Void has reached a level beyond the reach of mortals like us;
Even the power of the Holy Cross and the power of the Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail combined with the power of the Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail could not suppress your Void Power to any extent within the Temple, at most it could barely protect itself, but ......" For the first time, Eckhart's face showed a chuckle:
"The laws of the material world should be very alien to you, a very uncomfortable force... Right?"
Seliol, who was blushing, twitched his cheeks slightly.
"Water dries out, evaporates, condenses into ice, flames have no air, burns out when they run out......," Eckhart's voice was unwavering, as if mocking:
"These... Even for the ants and scum that you don't look down on, it's just simple common sense. ”
"Shut up!"
Enraged, Serol rolled up a black mist that struck like a swarm of pythons, billowing black smoke that took over every corner of the temple and engulfed Eckhart completely.
"Ahh I'm starting to do useless work again. Eckhart raised his arm and swept away the black smoke that was close to him: "You already know that these are unlikely to cause me any harm. ”
"Miscellaneous crumbs, shut up!"
"Is it because my analogy is so apt that it has completely you off? Obviously, as a god, he is obviously the most calm and rational existence in the world, and he will actually be annoyed and embarrassed because of a few jokes......"
"I said it, shut up!"
With the roar of the trembling soul, the billowing black mist struck with a magnitude that completely exceeded the previous one, and Eckhart's forehead was covered with cold sweat and he was engrossed in parrying.
Even within the Temple, the power of the Holy Cross was not enough to completely suppress the power of the void in Serol, and the existence of these forces was constantly "denied" by relying on the laws of the material world and the strict rules of the Old Scriptures.
One mistake was enough to tear him apart.
Right now......
"Boom !!!"
The explosion made the entire temple tremble.
Eckhart, who made a mistake in the shock, was pierced through his right shoulder blade by black mist, and his arm was twisted off in an instant, and his long sleeves and flesh were shattered, scattering into a blood mist in the air.
Eckhart, who frowned slightly, stared at the direction of the temple dome as if he was unaware, and raised his hand to disperse the black mist above.
In the darkness of the night, a huge gray-blue vortex was exposed in his field of vision, and the entire dome was blown to pieces by the black mist.
"You... Surprised?"
Seliol's eyes narrowed, his frantic and agitated expression calmed down for a moment, and he squinted at Eckhart, who looked stunned as if he were watching a burlesque.
"But what's so surprising... The Holy Cross is my creation, I created it with my own hands, my void power is above him, of course I... It could easily be destroyed with the runes and seals he had built under his rules... I warned you, didn't I?"
"So... Guess what, why haven't I done that? Why, I've waited until now, until this moment to destroy it?" said Seliol, whose mouth rose wildly, with a look of course:
"Of course, it's time for you to let your guard down the most and you can't interfere with me. ”
"While you're doing your best to resist my Void power, you probably didn't have time to notice the lightning falling overhead... Right?"
He raised his right hand with a sneer, and between his withered fingers, something seemed to be constantly rolling.
"Boom !!!"
Purple lightning burst through the dome, turning their cheeks pale.
"Water dries out, evaporates and condenses into ice, flames have no air, and burns out when they run out......"
With a mocking tone, Selior slowly spoke: "So respectable Eckhart de Salion... Your Majesty, Emperor of the Empire, please tell me about this ignorant god......"
"When you get struck by lightning... What will it become?"
"Burning, charred, convulsive corpses, dying but immobile people or... Ashes?"
"You're going to turn to ashes, right?"
Eckhart, who was silent, had a solemn expression to the extreme, staring at the huge gray-blue vortex in the air with all his attention.
Smirking Serol, raised the index finger of his right hand... Straight down.
"Boom !!!"
