Chapter 0558 - The Firmest Faith
Glay had never felt so cold.
Ghouls who come from a cold church and worship the gods of eerie bones are extremely resistant to cold.
At this moment, however, Gray felt that his body's cold resistance was so ridiculous.
The dark blue flame was like a monster that devoured all temperature and life, and it emerged from the glove, spreading with a terrifying power over his body, freezing his body and quickly devouring his soul.
"No!" Grey's primordial bestiality was fueled by the desperate desire to live, and he roared violently, and his already bear-like body began to expand rapidly.
This crazy beast nature has a strange transformation, and his frozen neck and chest actually break through the ice of the cold flames as they swell.
And his body turned into a giant ghoul a full five meters tall in a few breaths.
Seeing that Su Ge's expression was full of caution, he folded his hands and pushed forward suddenly.
The surge of spiritual energy was accompanied by the rhythm of knowledge, and the kinetic energy generated by the vibration instantly accumulated to a terrifying level.
Bang!
In the next second, this huge monster was knocked back by Suge's vibration wave by five or six meters.
The violent reaction force also shook Su Ge back a few meters and retreated to the side of Roland and the four.
"Give up your sanity and embrace madness. The latent beastly nature completely exploded, and the irrational brain untied the restrictions on the body and entered a crazy form that went out of control. Su Ge looked at Gray's state at this time and said with a slight sigh
"But after that, he too will go to destruction. Anthony looked at Glay and said in a low voice.
The core reason why he can become stronger in an instant is just like what Su Ge just said.
The brain unlocks control over the body.
Any living thing has great potential and explosive power. But this explosive power is not something that this creature form can withstand.
Just like humans, when the potential is exploded, a person can lift a vehicle weighing hundreds of pounds.
However, the price of this powerful moment is that the bones cannot withstand the tremendous pressure and the muscle tissue collapses overloaded.
Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the form, the brain will set restrictions on the body to prevent people from entering the forbidden area of destruction.
However, when people abandon their sanity and embrace madness, everything will be liberated.
At this time, it can be seen that Gray's body not far away has appeared in a similar state.
His strong muscles gradually streaked blood, and the bones that fixed his body on the outside could not bear the swelling muscles and twisted and broken.
The sound of blood splattering and bones creaking kept ringing in the night sky.
"Let's get out of here, this guy is in the most dangerous time now. Connor suggested.
As a veteran Assassin, he was adept at judging the strength of his targets.
After all, if you fail to judge in the assassination, then you have only one way to die.
Woohoo!
A piercing howl came out of the hideous huge mouth, and the huge body rushed towards Suge like crazy.
Seeing this scene, Su Ge clenched his cane and tensed his body and said, "If you leave here quickly, you will treat it as if you didn't see me." It would be troublesome to be seen that we intersected. I'll leave it to me here. ”
Hearing this, the four of them did not hesitate, turned around and left quickly.
Now is not the time to catch up, and they are well aware of the church's attitude towards Suge.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Gray's huge claws slapped on the ground, sending a three-centimeter-deep claw mark on the surface.
Su Ge's cloak, who had hurriedly dodged, suddenly unfolded, and quickly retreated more than ten meters with his body, widening the distance.
Unable to do so, Glay slowly turned his head, and a burst of steam-like heat erupted from his huge mouth.
Obviously, his body could no longer withstand the heat generated by such a huge body during intense exercise, and the temperature of his lungs was rising rapidly.
With an indescribable look in his eyes under Suge's mask, he looked at the steam-spewing Glei: "Reason and madness, rebirth and destruction. You abandon your reason for fear of death, but that will only make your death more painful. ”
Whoa!
Glei's mouth hissed, and his body leaped to his feet, and his huge body smashed into Suge like a mountain falling from the sky.
Su Ge naturally didn't dare to take such a blow.
Under the effect of vibration and cloak, the body floated slightly, and with the sound of the wind, it began to move rapidly close to the ground.
Boom! Boom!
Glay kept jumping up, smashing at Suge regardless of it, his huge claws kept waving, but he couldn't catch Suge's figure at all.
After a few rounds, whew... Whoosh......
His lungs could be clearly heard as if they were broken, and he made a series of extremely unpleasant sounds.
At the same time, the mist that came out of the mouth turned from white to red.
This indicates that his lungs, and even his esophagus, have begun to collapse.
Thump!
After a few weak gasps, Glay's huge body fell to the ground, his heaving body covered in blood.
Muscles were broken, bones were twisted and broken, and such a body could no longer support his huge body.
It looks like a dying beast that has been attacked by a group of monsters.
Suge walked over to him and looked down at the huge head lying on the ground.
The twisted eyes seemed to have regained some sanity, but they were full of pain and despair.
"If you give up resisting, you're going to die a happy death. Su Ge said in a cold and calm tone.
Gray's huge mouth squirmed slightly, and a hoarse voice sounded: "In the face of death, no existence can accept it willingly. Even if there is an abyss and hell ahead, try it. If you go further, you may be able to live, and if you stagnate, you can only wait for death. ”
Hearing this, Su Ge was a little silent, and he agreed to this kind of speech.
After all, this has been the case for humans throughout history, and there is a word that perfectly describes this behavior.
Drink poison to quench thirst.
"Why did you attack these three clergymen?" asked Suge.
Glay didn't answer directly, and said weakly: "There are some things you don't have a choice, and there is no way to have the best of both worlds in the world." ”
Suge didn't continue to ask, he could vaguely guess who it was.
"Do you think this world can be redeemed?" asked Gray, whose huge head turned slightly, looking at Suge.
Su Ge replied in a firm tone: "Yes." ”
Glay let out an ugly smile: "I didn't believe it when I fell into the mysterious abyss, so I abandoned my human form and mutated into a ghoul. ”
Su Ge was a little surprised to hear this.
He didn't expect that Glay was not a natural ghoul, but a mutated human.
"If that's the case, those ghouls that can be incorporated into the mystical system should all be mutated from humans!" Su Ge suddenly thought to himself.
Here, Glay continued: "I thought that becoming a family member and becoming a believer in those evil gods would give me hope and some security. However, unfortunately, as a member of the family, I fell into a deeper despair after learning more about the situation. ”
Su Ge replied calmly: "The world is like this, and the ignorant are fearless. Sometimes, ignorance is also a blessing. ”
Glay let out a weak sigh, and his huge eyes were almost impossible to open with the loss of life.
"You say...... If I had believed in the ...... of mankind Possibility, I ...... Will it ever be like this?" Glay's voice came intermittently.
Suge didn't give an accurate answer: "Who knows, after stepping into the mystery, it may be impossible to recover at any time." ”
After a pause, Su Ge changed his words and said, "But one thing is certain. ”
"What?"
"As a human being, you might be a good person. ”
"Good man, hehehe...... cough cough" Hearing this slightly childish word that can only appear in a child's mouth, Glay actually laughed a little happily.
Laughing, laughing, his body began to shake violently, as if something was about to explode and take control of his body.
"Killed...... I, I don't want to let ...... It devours. Gray said with horror in his eyes.
Suge didn't respond, just silently raised his cane, which turned into a long sword, and stabbed directly into his huge head, ending his painful life.
"Thank you. Gray said weakly, slowly closing her eyes.
As Glay died, his twitching body gradually subsided, as if the thing had ceased to move with his death.
The slain Glay began to shrink rapidly, first into a ghoul about the size of a human, and finally into a middle-aged man in his forties.
Seeing this scene, Suge remembered the words he had seen in "The Evening Bell of the Valley".
"The deliverance of the divine gifts is not a bloody killing, but a divine purification. All filth, all mutations, will dissipate in death and return to their original form. In its most primitive and pure form, madness can be quelled and despair can be peaceful. It is a holy death, the supreme gift. ”
Clenching the cane in his hand in silence, at this moment, Su Ge's understanding of the bell bearer, the Grim Reaper of the Valley, and "The Evening Bell of the Valley" became more profound, and even had a faint understanding.
"So, that's how it feels?" Suge looked down at Glay's corpse, unable to recover for a long time.
It seemed that a few minutes had passed, and Su Ge suddenly came back to his senses: "Take the secret treasure away, leave here quickly, the people from the church should be here soon." ”
Just as Su Ge stepped forward to take the wriggling brain away, suddenly a sharp crescent moon sword qi shot out.
Suge rolled in an instant, and turned his head just in time to see Father Sine, who was holding the Moonlight Greatsword, staring at him.
It's just that Father Sine at this time does not have the obvious hostility and fanaticism that he had last time.
"I don't understand you. Father Sine took two steps towards Suge, a hint of doubt in his voice.
He'd been watching here for ten minutes, and Suge was watching his every move.
Su Ge pulled out his long sword: "You don't need to understand, you have your beliefs, and I have my persistence." ”
"What do you really want? the right to rule the world and the faith of the people, or the knowledge to reach the roots?" said Father Sine, who was silent for a moment, but did not make a move.
Suge did not answer directly, looked up at the sky and said, "I know the truth of this world, so I will not give my faith to anyone, or any god. ”
Sine then looked up and saw the three sacred moons: "The truth of the world as you know it may not be the true truth. The truth of the world and the falsity of the world is not up to us. Maybe we're just in a nightmare now, and our true self has been lost in the depths of the nightmare. ”
When Suge heard this, his heart moved, and he actually thought that what Father Sine said made some sense.
Father Sine raised his purple greatsword, looked at it and said, "I have been lost, I have been afraid, I have even been mad. It was the rays of moonlight that fell from the sky like a clear spring that guided me out of my madness and out of fear. From then on, the truth and falsehood of the world no longer matter to me, I just want to protect this moonlight in my heart forever. ”
Suge could not refute Father Sine's thoughts and ideas, let alone deny Father Sine's persistence and faith.
"Even if this moonshine is fake?"
"Yes. ”
"Even if the moonlight is full of filth?"
"Yes. ”
"Even if the moonlight itself doesn't exist?"
Father Signe's eyes did not waver, and he replied with great firmness: "That's right. ”
Su Ge put his hands on his chest and saluted slightly: "You have earned my respect." ”
Faced with Suge's sudden salute, Father Sine was a little surprised, and he couldn't return to his senses in a daze.
"If one day, the world suddenly falls into the end of the world, I believe that you are still you, and you will not be defiled by filth, infected by madness, and will not fall into the path of demons and become monsters. Suge's tone was filled with relief.
Father Sine silently put away his sword: "Let's go, I don't want to do it today." ”
Suge didn't speak, and his body disappeared into the night like a gust of wind.
After Sug left, Father Sine walked over and looked down at Glei's body and whispered, "Your choice is not wrong. ”
The night breeze blew softly, and about five minutes later, Archbishop Laurie arrived with the clergy to retrieve Glay's body.
Father Sine didn't say much, and stood aside silently watching Laurie and others recover Glay's body, without saying a word during the whole process, as if Father Sine was a strange outsider who didn't know these clergy at all.
As he was leaving, Father Sine suddenly said, "How is the Pope?"
Laurie didn't reply, and replied nonchalantly: "The recovery is very good, and I can already attend the meeting." ”
Father Sine did not answer, but turned and walked into the night, holding his sword.
Out of the corner of Laurie's eye, he looked at Father Sine who was leaving, with a very complicated look in his eyes.
"Archbishop, is the body transported to the chapel, or is it transported back to headquarters?" asked the bishop who was the leader of the team.
Laurie's demeanor instantly returned to normal, and he said, "Send it to the headquarters and hand it over to Archbishop Saru." ”
Sitting back in the carriage, Laurie glanced at the corpse behind the carriage, his eyes glinting with coldness and scheming.
"All preparations are complete, now feel the despair and fear I once felt, Sug Sototh!"
