Chapter 337: Fear and Confronting
Kelly has actually been here for a long time.
But before she could rush into the inquisition, a pure terrifying undead aura had silently entangled her, and no matter how much she struggled to resist, she was firmly shackled from her movements, unable to move at all.
So she could only watch the entire ruling surrounded by a roaring and tumbling cloud of dim yellow dead air, and watched the terrifying legendary spells flash one after another in the yellow clouds, she heard Sigma's roar and rebuke, and also felt the disappointment and sadness hidden in his questioning...... But even so, he still chose to face it alone.
It's like he stopped her and wouldn't let her in.
Even if she had a papal order, breaking into the Inquisition in such a situation would be considered by the Inquisition to be on Sigmar's side, and thus forming a bond with the Blackfriars......
He always thinks about her and takes care of things on his own.
The same is true now...... The harder he shouted, the harder he smashed, the more resolute he became, and the more powerful he showed, the more jealous the Inquisition would be, and it would not dare to mess around—if they had simply obtained the Pope's order and ordered the Inquisition to release them in this way, the determined Blackfriars would have refused to give up and continued to plot the next round of conspiracy.
She looked at the violent and terrifying shadow of death, even in the face of a legend, the supreme momentum of the five sanctuary, even if Nelson heard his mother say that Sigma single-handedly killed hundreds of elites and slashed the sanctuary, it was not as shocking as she saw it with her own eyes - but in addition to the shock, the paladin's heart couldn't help but feel a little worried.
In fact, there is no one who understands human nature better than the Paladin...... Those who were once enthusiastic and willing to sacrifice for some good things and beliefs, after they have taken power, have power, and occupy a position of honor. Many people will degenerate into unscrupulous thugs and stupid and short-sighted pigs, and become the people they once hated the most.
It's like what a certain bishop of the Cardinal said.
in this world. There is nothing more dangerous than a hot-blooded boy who suddenly has great power.
But the maiden could only pray quietly and then choose to believe.
I believe that Sigma will not be blinded by this powerful power.
Believe that he will never change.
So she waited quietly.
Ultimately. The clouds of death cleared, and the man walked out of the door of the Inquisition, carrying two men on his shoulders, perhaps the first to snatch someone out of the Inquisition and leave it openly.
There were no angry questions, no angry slaps, no relieved hugs, no worried tears, just a light smile and stepped forward. He took the Shadow from Sigma's shoulders and carried it on his back.
Without any words or exchanges, the two walked away.
But Kiri's worries have not been put down...... Because all the while, Sigma's eyes were as cold as frost.
Completely distrustful of the Inquisition, Sigma took the two girls to the Pope's Quarters on the ninth floor of Cloudsdale, without any consideration for the Pope's feelings, and walked all the way without saying a word or being angry. The whole person looked very calm, so calm that it was terrifying, and he placed the two of them in the guest room of the dormitory, and covered them with quilts himself. After tidying up the quilt corners, Ji Li remained silent, quietly looking at his busy back.
Do this qiē well. The necromancer was still facing away from Gilly, and he seemed to be staring at the sleeping faces of the two girls. Suddenly whispered, "Ji Li...... Just now, I seem to have become terrible. ”
"Because I'm aware of a fact."
"I was at the time. A single thought can make the hundreds of dark creatures underground replenish their negative energy at ten times the speed, and in an instant, they can get out of trouble one after another, and even ...... I can reconvert the negative energy that I have absorbed into the undead qi and thus directly refine them into the undead...... Do you know what a powerful force that is? ”
"Strong enough for me to wipe out the entire Cloudsdale, strong enough for me to build up the original forces from it, and then command them to slaughter everywhere, snowballing death, transforming the dead into ferocious and terrifying undead, and then spreading death, plague, viruses, and curses across the continent......"
"Maybe if I keep that state, all the necromancy spells will be invalid for me, even if the legendary-level necromancy comes over, I can easily copy seven or eight, and then blast them all out with my backhand......"
"This means that the powerful realm of death is completely defenseless to me, and it means that I can easily enter the Atlas and awaken all the war weapons that the necromancers have made for hundreds of years......"
"At that moment, at the moment when I saw the fear on the faces of the blackfriars...... I realized that I actually possessed such terrifying power, so terrifying that I could subvert this continent and control the life and death of countless living beings...... There was a voice in my heart that said that this was who I am, and that I should abandon wishful thinking and do what I love......"
"That's when I realized that people's hearts are so fragile."
"When a man suddenly gains enough power to change the world, ambitions and desires follow...... The human heart always craves more. ”
And then came unreasonable arrogance and decisive ruthlessness...... At that moment, I even wanted to kill them all, and from the endless stream of dead spirits came the terrible howls of countless evil spirits, who encouraged me, encouraged me, shouted for me, cheered for me, and let me kill these fools who had lost themselves...... I don't even know if the sound is coming from Pluto or from my psychic ......"
"Because it's so real that it scares me."
His voice was calm and powerful, neither trembling nor slurred, and his tone was unhurried, like telling a story that didn't concern him, but Kieli could feel the thrill and hardship in it...... I feel how hard it is to reject that temptation.
What's more, the reason why he entered the Inquisition was so upright and righteous, guarding the weak and protecting his friends. Not afraid of power...... It is this incomparably righteous reason that breeds evil thoughts and desires in the heart.
"But then. For some reason, something suddenly came to my mind. Sigma said softly. I suddenly remembered something, something that I couldn't forget...... Trivia. ”
"I remember when I was a child, the men of the family fought and quarreled after drinking, I recalled that I smashed a flower pot on my second uncle's head, and was caught after he ran for hundreds of meters, the pain of slapping on the buttocks, and the schadenfreude laughter of those bastards......"
"I remember one day I suddenly heard my dad say that the family had prepared a marriage for me, I recalled that he smacked his mouth and said that you little bastard was cheap, and recalled that she came to me so generously that day......"
"Recall that I came to the imperial capital. Entered the Royal Knight Academy, fought and quarreled with a group of aristocratic bastards from all over the world all day long, and dressed up as a woman to sneak into the girls' dormitory building to play hooligans, and ran into Lyudmila ......"
"I recalled that I was cheap before graduation, and I went to the Mage Federation Admissions Office to check if I had the legendary Demon Martial Arts Dual Cultivation Talent, but I was frozen into an icicle by that bearded bastard and carried directly to the office of the Death Realm......"
"I remembered those years in Atlas, I remembered the feeling of being hung by Sargeras on a lamppost to blow the wind, and I recalled the ridiculous appearance of those necromancers with paralyzed faces and roaring wildly......"
"Memories of the almost never-ending explosions in the academy. I recall the sense of accomplishment I felt when I delivered my first toilet to the sky, and I recalled the ways that the masters tossed me in all their tricks......"
"And ...... You guys. ”
"A pleasant journey these days, with your every bickering, those strange common sense instilled in Athena. The nonsense and crookedness that Bloodshadow told him, the bad things he had done with Lyudmila before, the one who dragged Alice to death at the academy and finally threw her there to take the blame. and Luluwei's multi-faceted horror movie ......"
Sigma sat there with a calm and gentle expression. If you were present at the Inquisition, you would not be able to connect the lifeless Death Agent with the young man in front of you.
He turned. Looking at Ji Li, he smiled lightly: "Then I found that the expansion of my heart and the ambition of domination after having great power, the tyrannical desire to ruin miè yiqiē, the loneliness and loneliness surrounded by death, the pleasure of wanting to be above the living beings, trampling and plundering...... These impulses and desires, so real and so seductive, when they are placed in the midst of these trivial, boring and mundane memories, become incomparably pale and false, and are not worth mentioning. ”
"What a ...... just now" he looked relieved and gave her first smile to Gilly, "It scared the hell out of me." ”
"I'm thinking about what I'd do if the blackfriars in the Insquisition didn't hesitate to fight, and I was thinking about how I would face you and what you would do to me even if I killed even one person by mistake......
"I wonder what I'm going to do if that old man is so shameless as to take Bloodshadow and Nina hostage and threaten to hurt them if I don't retreat...... Resolutely unleash the monsters underground, and use the lives of countless innocent people in Cloudsdale to fight with them to see who can't bear it first? ”
"I wondered what I was going to do with the people who trusted me if it did turn into a total war...... Do you really want to abandon a qiē, be a terrifying big devil, and spread death to the whole world? ”
He sighed softly and repeated, "So, just now it was really ...... Scared the hell out of me. ”
The necromancer smiled wryly at Ji Li: "This power ...... It's a little too powerful, so powerful that I don't even want to use it, I don't want to memorize it, it's of unknown origin, there's no limit to how it can be used—it can even make me face the entire Inquisition as a high-level necromancer...... And it almost changed my heart. ”
"But I decided not to use it as much as possible, but I had to use it again and again."
"Just like now, the Inquisition will not heed the protests of a high-ranking necromancer, no matter how high his status, no matter how promising he is...... Without this power, I would have had to fight with them endlessly, and I didn't even dare to think about how Nina and the Blood Shadow would be treated......"
"Later...... There are many times when you have to use this power. ”
"Because I know that I have this power, I want to do more, so I want to do better, because this world is full of sadness and helplessness, so since there is a power that can change it, you have to use it no matter what, right......" Sigma smiled, "What an unforgivable thing to have such a power but not use it in the future, and lead some sad things to happen......"
"So...... Even though this power is full of mystery and weirdness, I choose to continue to use it when necessary, whether it is from the gift of the Father, or from some conspiracy and secret about Pluto, whether it carries the wishes and blessings of the Father, or the traps and malevolent curses of some fellow...... I'll never be changed by it. Sigma clenched his fists, "I will overcome it, and I will not be tempted and swayed by it, because ......"
Sigma pointed to her head at Ji Li and smiled, "Because there are so many mundane, trivial, and boring memories hidden here, which are enough to make a Qiē decisive ambition and desire to control the world pale and powerless...... The nature of the jungle and the aggressiveness that overrides one qiē comes from our instinct for self-preservation, and these desires are the temptations of real existence, not a joke that can be laughed at and said no, but that does not mean that it cannot be overcome and suppressed, as long as you are ......"
He smiled a gentle, familiar smile from Gilly, "So, Gilly......"
The paladin girl's heartbeat slowly accelerated.
She was a little shy in her heart, but she was still looking forward to Sigma's next words.
But at this moment, a low groan came from the bed, the two turned their heads to look, and the blood shadow slowly opened her eyes, she was secretly attacked by the experienced peak saint domain of the inquisition, and the peerless powerhouse naturally knew how to make her completely stunned and dazed.
At this time, she still felt weak all over her body, her mind was dizzy, and after opening her eyes, she was first wary and flustered, and after seeing Sigma, her eyes became soft and reassuring, and she said softly: "Sir? ”
Sigma responded to her call, a reassuring smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "This is the Pope's Bedroom, there was a little misunderstanding just now, don't worry, it's all settled, rest in peace." ”
His words seemed to have the power to calm his mind, and a faint smile appeared on Bloodshadow's face, and then slowly fell back asleep, Sigma breathed a soft sigh of relief, and felt a tightness in his back, and at some point Kiri came behind him, staring at his back with her head, preventing him from turning and turning back.
Then she pinched him hard.
The paladin said softly, "Don't do this in front of me in the future...... I'll be jealous too. ”
Her nasal voice was a little weird, as if she was crying.
But Sigma sane and didn't talk much.
