Chapter 177: The Authority of the Goddess
Ancient Shambhala.
Returning quickly from the depths of the forest, Imotna did not attract anyone's attention, like a ghost that passed through the guards of the city gate in an instant, and after landing in the city, he tidied up his clothes a little, and then put on a warm smile again, and walked onto the central street of Shambhala City.
"Lord Imotena!"
"Lord Imotena.... Good afternoon. ”
"Good afternoon."
After smiling and responding to a few kind Shambhalas, Imotna's expression became more and more kind, but under that kind appearance, there was a deep malice hidden.
Beautiful Shambhala.
The eternal Shambhala.
At the mention of these words, Imotena's heart was filled with unbounded anger, and he even wished to destroy this decaying kingdom at once.
Eternal life?
Joke!
As the Queen's Clerk, Imotena may not be a young man on the outside, but on the inside he has already spent an unknown amount of time, and he is probably one of the few people in the entire city of Shambhala who has survived from the time when Shambhala did not yet attain immortality to this day.
In fact, while the people of Shambhala did have eternal life, only two people actually survived to this day.
If so, why?
Then it is necessary to quote a very philosophical quote:
When a man is killed, he dies.
The people of Shambhala have only gained the power that will not grow old, eternal life does not mean immortality, when the heart is penetrated, they will also die, and throughout the ages, except for the highest level of Shambhala, the vast majority of other people are actually not the original group of people.
Imotena doesn't even remember their names anymore.
Why?
There's only one reason: Warcraft.
Endless demonic beasts, endless years of torment, these destroyed the spirit of Shambhala, destroyed Shambhala's will, everything is because of the monsters.
However.....
..... Why did Warcraft come about?
With a deep negative thought, Imotena walked quickly to the Great Hollow, and after passing the identity verification, he quickly followed the edge of the ladder to the bottom of the Great Hollow.
And there, a tall statue of a goddess was holding a wine glass held high, with a gentle smile on her face.
"Huh."
After confirming that the statue of the goddess and the wine glass were all right, Imotena breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but sneer.
Then, he calmed down and strode up to the statue of the goddess, looking without awe, and shook his head even more after glancing at the words on the bottom of the glass.
[The love of the goddess is not reserved for mortals]
"It's so apt."
"Besides, how can mortals be worthy of the love of a goddess?"
"Nonsense."
Imotena took a deep breath and closed his eyes, flashing back to the distant past every time he closed them for countless years.
A large number of Shambhala people, corpses everywhere, burning sacrificial fires, tall statues of the goddess.
Rite of immortality.
In the distant past, Shambhala unexpectedly received such a ritual, and the then ruler, the current Queen of Shambhala, decided to use that ritual to obtain eternal life for Shambhala, and they believed in the goddess, performed rituals, offered sacrifices, and finally got the desired eternal life.....
..... But the cost is almost unimaginable.
The content of the ritual was completely sealed off at the time, and the whole of Shambhala was immersed in the joy of eternal life, and no one cared about the cost of the ceremony.
I had to investigate it myself.
And then he found out.
That bloody secret .....!
The so-called ritual of eternal life is simply a huge sacrifice! The sacrifice that the goddess needed was a living life, and everyone who participated in the ceremony, except for the queen, died! Their blood stained the entire altar red! Transformed into the water of eternal life in the glass of the goddess....
This is the truth about Shambhala's first treasure.
【Goddess's Love】
But the love of the goddess has a time limit, and so is eternal life, and the people of Shambhala who died in the ritual were all transformed into terrible monsters after death!
Day after day, year after year, these monsters attack Shambhala, take the lives of the people of Shambhala, and then use their lives as new ritual sacrifices to keep Shambhala alive like a grand drama designed to please the goddess of the underworld.
This is the truth about Shambhala's second treasure.
【The Cruelty of the Goddess】
Whenever he thought of this, that his life was forged by the blood of countless companions, and that his body was filled with the roar of countless companions, Imotna would retch.
And the one who started it all.
...... It's all that woman!
Sitting high on the throne, enjoying eternal life and youth, the Shambhala Queen who has deceived the people of Shambhala for countless years!
Every time he walked into that woman, Imortna wanted to cut off the other person's head with his sword, but he knew that he couldn't do it, he couldn't even reveal the truth, because no one would believe him, and the old people who were his contemporaries had even died in battle....
And most importantly, the woman still has Shambhala's third treasure in her hand.
It was a secret treasure created by the corpses of demonic beasts after countless years of great sacrifice, with extremely powerful destructive power.
It is in the form of a golden scepter.
【Authority of the Goddess】
And Shambhala's fourth secret treasure, even Imotena didn't know the specific content, only knew that the name of that secret treasure was [Goddess's Mercy]
Mercy? Ha ha!
Where is there any mercy in this Shambhala! Some are just blood everywhere! Some are just sins over the years!
And blood .... Only with blood can it be washed!
The six hundred and sixty-sixth reincarnation, this time he finally mastered the secret treasure [Goddess's Cruelty] placed on the border of the forest, and also obtained the power to manipulate the demonic beast, when the reincarnation returned, he must destroy the queen's rule and cut off this prison called eternal life.
The only variable..... I guess it's those treasure hunters.
But it doesn't matter.
The reason why he became the so-called adventure king was also the instruction of "that person", although he was a little caught off guard by the sudden entry of treasure hunters into Shambhala later, but he reacted quickly and still mastered the power of an adventurer, as for the remaining three adventurers.....
.... Under the monstrous trend of countless demonic beasts, there is nothing to be afraid of.
After all, the so-called treasure hunters are just a bunch of profit-seekers in the final analysis.
"Hoo ....."
After rearranging his plan in his mind, Imortna slowly opened his eyes, and at this moment.
"What are you thinking?"
“!!!”
Turning around suddenly, Imortna's eyes finally showed a bit of indescribable horror, and behind him, there was a silent extra person at the bottom of the big hollow!
"Impossible!"
The man who appeared was armed with a golden scepter and a ruby ring in his right hand, and the veil obscured his face, revealing only a pair of dark blue eyes like the sea.
"Aurora!?"
Imotena angrily and with a bit of horror called out Queen Shambhala's real name, angry that he saw the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time.
