Chapter 467: The So-Called Truth
There are different opinions as to whether the demons were originally created by the five gods, or whether Kaos, the god of chaos, was created.
The two religious books of the St. Cassis Continent, the "Divine Codex" and the "Cult Codex", jointly believe that the demons were created by Kaos, and their birth was to destroy the species created by the other five gods, and they were the product of jealousy and hatred.
At first, the species on the continent of St. Cassis believed in a variety of gods, but later they slowly discovered that the gods they believed in had never sent down miracles for thousands of years, so most of them began to believe in the Holy Father.
After all, the Holy See's experience in pretending to be a god stick is very advanced, and he has nothing to do to fool people with oracle words, the chosen son, the manifestation of the Holy Father, and so on.
For a group of ignorant believers, these are miracles of the appearance of the gods, so they began to believe in the Holy Father, which has the meaning of being a mother.
And for the handful of people who do not believe in the nonsense of the Holy See at all, those who are simply not abandoned by their own belief in the gods are defined by the Holy See as heretics, sinners who have turned their backs on the Holy Father.
So, people can't live too smart.
However, in the demon plane, whether it is book allusions or word of mouth, the records of the gods are more detailed and fair, and they will not break the dirty water for other gods like the San Cassis continent.
For thousands of years, the demons have positioned themselves as God's forsaken people, and the Holy Father and the other four gods are the main gods, and Kaos created them, but they have abandoned them, but this abandonment is only temporary.
Moreover, the indigenous races in the demon plane firmly believe that the god Kaos is testing them, because they regard the awakening of the winged knight's ability, the birth of the Lich King every thousand years by the pure-blood Dread Demon King, the spell of the ghost, etc., all of which are regarded as the blessings of the god Kaos, and it also proves that the god Kaos has been watching them.
As long as the Winged Knight can awaken abilities, as long as the Lich King is still being born, and the spells can be used, all of these prove that the gods of Kaos have not truly abandoned them.
And the most ridiculous thing is that because of the catastrophe, the demon race is actually very peace-loving, never starts a war lightly, and cherishes the perfunctory life and population of the race more than other planes.
And the demons do not exclude anyone from believing in other gods, Kaos and the Holy Father Gaia and the other four gods are the same main gods, even if they believe in the small gods, it doesn't matter, as long as you admit that the great god Kaos is the main god, you will not be burned at the stake, let alone killed.
In the demon plane, there are also many records about other gods, including Hermes, the guide of the Netherworld.
Hermes wasn't technically a god, at most an immortal, undead creature, or the oldest of powerful magical creatures.
Wander the river of the underworld and bring undead creatures to life.
This is the mainstream definition of Hermes.
Of course, there are also those who claim that Hermes is a true god, calling him the god of animal husbandry, and the creator of the art of deception, and also inventing numbers and words.
But whether he was a god or not, no one had ever seen him, whether he was alive or undead, and he had no believers.
After all, who has nothing to believe in a cattle herder and a tour guide.
At this time, Kaka believed that the half-human, half-skeleton guy in front of him was a god, because he couldn't use elemental power now, and he couldn't find any reason, which had never happened before, and he had never heard of it.
As for Allen, he didn't believe that the half-human, half-skeleton guy in front of him was a god, because he didn't think that the gods would be so boring, and there was nothing to scare people with a whole bunch of broken arms and bones.
If it were a god, how could he be imprisoned in a prison of flesh and blood, as he said.
Kaka's eyes were full of confusion, and he looked a little overwhelmed.
Eren looked wary, ready to move at any moment.
The horned python coiled itself into a stool shape, and its little head rested on Alan's shoulder one by one.
"Ha, you said this is a cage of flesh and blood, imprisoning you for tens of thousands of years?" Alan's face and listen to your blowing.
Hermes nodded, "I like to talk to the living. ”
Alan didn't care about this guy's answer, and asked with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen a cage with tonsils, how can you prove that you are a god?" ”
"What is a god?" This time it was Hermes' turn to ask Alan.
Alan was choked by this sentence, and he couldn't make a sound for a long time, how did he know, he hadn't seen it, and even if he did, it was in an illusion, and even he couldn't tell whether it was true or false.
Hermes pointed at Kaka and said: "I am stronger than this magical life, countless times stronger, so I can make him into the most primitive form and cannot attack me, Kaos and Gaia are stronger than me, countless times stronger, so they sealed me in this flesh and blood cage, the difference is that you can't accept that I am so powerful, so call me a god, I can accept the strength of Kaos and Gaia, so in my eyes, it's just that their ambitions are too inflated, just like me, It's just an ancient lifeform. ”
Alan glanced at Kaka and asked, "Can you feel that this guy is countless times stronger than you?" Do you think this guy is a god? ”
"No, I don't feel how powerful he is, and I can't even detect any life fluctuations and elemental power in his body." Kaka swallowed his saliva and said with a somewhat bitter expression, "But, I can't make a move on him, as if it comes from instinct." ”
Alan frowned, he couldn't understand what Kaka meant.
Hermes showed a very strange smile, and said lightly: "You are not immortal, since you are immortal, you have an afterlife, and I am the messenger who will take you to find the afterlife, all living beings have a rebirth, their flesh, skin, hair, all are created by me and those ancient creatures, the beginning and the end, are from our hands, how can they turn their backs on us?" ”
"Really? Hey. As soon as Allen's voice fell, he grabbed the horned wing python and pumped it, who knew that the horned wing python was about to be drawn to Hermes's front door, but it was like pumping on a transparent wall, and it folded back with a "snap", and the horned wing python grinned behind Allen.
"How can the Creator cause disobedience to the creatures he has created with his own hands?" Helmers smiled mysteriously.
"You mean, you're everyone's dad, so the son can't beat the dad?" Allen's tone was full of ridicule, ready to inspire the barbarian battle ring to attack for a while.
Hermes's left eye flashed with an obscure light, as if he had seen through everything, and said lightly: "Of course, you don't belong to this world, let alone many planes, and of course you don't have any reverence for me, but here, you, better put away your hostility." ”
Seeing that he was exposed, the unbelieving Allen's body rushed out like a cannonball, and when his body was in the air, it activated the barbarian battle ring, and four elemental arms were born from his back, which directly pounced on Hermes.
Who knew that when Alan was about to approach Hermes, the barbarian battle ring under his feet suddenly disappeared, and the four elemental arms behind him also turned into scattered elemental fragments, and even the ancient magic elements and dragon power running at high speed in his body could not be perceived inexplicably.
Alan felt as if his body had become the beginning of the crossing again, with no dragon power, just a slightly stronger ordinary person.
Hermes's body flashed slightly, and Alan fell on his stomach, and the jargon also called a dog gnawing mud, or a dog eating, which was very embarrassing.
"I don't know what kind of creature you are, but what you have in you is the power that I have created with other ancient beings." Hermes sneered and said, "It's ridiculous how such a reckless guy could bear the mark of the gods to stop Kaos. ”
Alan stood up in embarrassment, finally believing in evil.
Don't blame him for being reckless, suddenly in the body of an unknown creature, and then suddenly a guy popped out, babbling nonsense and began to brag b, and said that he was an ancient god, don't believe it or not, you have to try it first, in case you are fooled.
If you can beat it, it proves that this guy has been bragging B.
If you can't beat it, it proves that if people want to kill you, it's like playing, it's futile to earn or not struggle, if it's really a god, if you can't do it, people should kill you and kill you.
Alan stood up and patted his trouser leg as if he was nothing, and said with a hob on his face: "Then what do you want, do you want to kill or kill a happy word, there are a lot of things in Lao Tzu's house, and I don't have time for you to ink." ”
Hermes glanced at Alan lightly, floated in front of Kaka and said, "You say, how did you get into this flesh cage. ”
Kaka seems to be really as Hermes said, instinctively afraid of the other party, and tells the whole story of the island in 1510.
After hearing this, Hermes seemed to have expected it, and floated up to Eren and said, "The moment you entered the Void Rift, someone modified the elemental mark, so that you can enter this flesh cage and see me. ”
"Someone modified the element markers?" Alan asked in surprise, "Who the fuck is the fucking cunt?" Is it a bastard on the demon plane? ”
Kaka walked over and gently slapped Eren with his finger and said, "Don't be so ignorant, unless it's a god, no one can modify the elemental mark at that moment, and neither can the Lich King." ”
Hermes nodded and said, "You are really not ordinary ignorance, I have seen countless creatures, you are the most awe-inspiring guy, and even the most unbasic common sense guy, fortunately not a creature created by us." ”
"Thanks for the compliment, it made you smile, hehe." Alan clenched his fist at Hermes.
Hermes sneered and said, "My life is coming to an end. ”
"Didn't you say you don't die or die?"
Hermes smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Before he was imprisoned, it was indeed like this, and according to what you said, I can also be sure that this flesh prison should be in the body of the mirage, that is, the creature under the island you saw before. ”
"What the hell is a mirage?" Eren looked at Kaka.
Kaka didn't answer Allen, but asked incredulously, "Does the mirage really exist?" ”
"Yes, many planes are illusions created by the first generation of mirages, and ancient beings such as Kaos and Gaia have turned these environments into real planes, and this is also a plane, and the mirages absorb my power, strengthen themselves, and maintain the continent outside from collapsing."
"Is it such a coincidence? Let's just find a random place that is an island carried by mirages? ”
"I don't know, maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's not." Hermes floated in front of Allen, seemed to be very entangled, and finally sighed heavily, patted Allen's shoulder with his thin arm and said: "There is no Netherworld for a long time, and from now on, there will be no Hermes, the leader of the underworld." ”
As soon as Hermes finished speaking, the flesh on the left side of his body began to fall off, and his whole body turned into a terrifying skeleton, which eventually scattered at Allen's feet and turned into powder.
Before Eren could speak, a powerful wave of mana tore through the space around him.
In the next second, Eren sat on the ground, surrounded by a group of two-headed trolls licking his lips, his eyes revealing a bloodthirsty light staring at Alan.
