The gold and iron sonorously resonate, and the bright gold and dark gold light burst. Richie's magic steel greatsword slapped against the breastplate and flew upside down, sending a large cloud of smoke and dust on the ridge.

I know it's not that easy......

Richie struggled to his feet, and with just a casual sword, it felt like dozens of Kanes had smashed into him with a power hammer.

If he hadn't been prepared for it, he blocked it with a big sword, and his internal organs were probably shattered into minced meat.

The sword body of the Demon Steel Greatsword cracked, and Li Qi casually threw it away, pulling out a silver-white greatsword from his belt.

This is a crystalline titanium greatsword, and the Magic Metal Smelting Bureau only started smelting crystalline titanium not long ago. Because there are too few materials, they are only used for the armor of the witch's armament. Li Qi didn't change his armor, he just got a big sword.

Theresia floated in the air, her head bowed and silent, and Li Qi sighed, "Leia, are you going to break with the heart of the gods?"

"Don't call that name anymore!"

Theresia raised her head and sighed: "It seems that you are really here for this, to destroy my unity of man and god, to make me no longer with Keira Theresia, to make me give up the eternal order, so that I only know how to indulge in mortal love, and only know how to stay with you......"

"Richie, how are you different from those dead mansions in the spirit world? You just want a doll that looks exactly like me!"

Old Tarzan and his daughter were present, and of course Li Qi had to argue: "I know that I am a little ...... in this regard Not self-controlled, but it's not just a matter between us. It's not just about your body, it's about the whole of you. It is Theresia, a mortal who puts aside faith and knowledge, and has pure kindness, kindness, bravery, and strength!"

"I'm glad you can still see me like this", Theresia shook her head, "I don't think I'm so perfect, since the Conrad City incident, any kindness and kindness has nothing to do with me, this is my destined fate." ”

"As for the ...... of the transaction"

Theresia sneered: "If it's just for the sake of profit, this is indeed a good deal, so the heart of the gods will be shaken." But you have to think that my unity of man and god can be destroyed so easily, it's really naïve!"

The sneer turned into anger: "When I was only Princess Hadrang, and when I was just a holy lady of Kem, I didn't have any idea of being noble and lowly. Like you, I believe that all spirits are equal and that everyone has the right to live a happy and fulfilling life. In order to administer justice to slaves and commoners, I have killed even the dukes of the kingdom and my own uncles!"

"It was only when I ran the kingdom as an adjudicator that I realized how important order was. The eternal order is to claim justice for the whole group, and for that it is necessary to sacrifice the individual. This contradicts the goodness of the heart, and I know that I still suffer from it. ”

"Like the one that happened in Conrad City, I know that countless innocent people have died for it. At that time, I thought that only you knew my pain, but later I realized that you were just taking pity on me. ”

Later, Alanis, Valentine, Freya...... None of the dead are enemies, every mortal is a sacrifice, the price of restoring order. I haven't become numb, just less weak. ”

"Bennuin, Brad, it seems to you that I have become insensitive, my idea is to destroy the world and rebuild order, you are wrong!"

"I've only learned a lesson from those past experiences, and I'm always thinking about saving everyone, but I can't save anyone to the last time! When a lethal contagion starts to rage, the best thing to do is to isolate the suspects, in short, the weaker the loss!"

"The eternal order that I insist on is full of oppression and pain in your eyes, and I know it. But this is the reality, this is the inevitable choice that brings mortals together with the least strife and the least sacrifice. ”

"In the world you have lived in, even if the spiritual world is far more advanced in cognition than Finn, the difference between mortals is still not much smaller than that of Finn's world. Mortals are still full of oppression and pain, still looking for gods and saviors, this is the reality!"

"Didn't you say that for mortals, there is no best in the world, only the worst, this is the reality!"

Theresia raised her voice, tears welling up in her eyes: "How much have I lost for this reality! I have killed my father, I have killed my good friends, I have killed hundreds of thousands of people! Is it really from my heart? Is this really what I want?"

At this time, Li Qi received the signal, took out another lattice Rubik's cube, and stretched it into a portal. The tall figure pierced through the light curtain and landed beside him.

It was Catherine, who first held Richie's hand, and then saw her sister in mid-air, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister...... I knew you'd come......"

Theresia held back her tears and said in a low voice, "I envy you, you know, although you have endured great suffering, your soul is free, you have broken free from fate, and your path is little by little. ”

"What about me? I don't have to bear the blood curse, I am born happy at the price of accepting such a fate. For the sake of Kem, for the sake of order, I have embarked on a path that is destined to be lost a little bit, and I really want to be you......"

"So, I can't help but snatch what should have belonged to you alone, I'm sorry, Catherine. ”

Of course, now it seems that it is also part of fate, and the final outcome is lost. ”

Catherine murmured, "Sister......"

Although I didn't know the situation when I first came, listening to these words that were completely inconsistent with the identity of the Order God Emperor, it seemed that there was a lot of progress. Catherine was both delighted and nervous, and she made Richie's magic steel glove rattle.

There was also a slight sound in the distance, it was Skeletron's movements.

Is Old Tarzan regretting it?

A daughter endures the suffering of a double blood curse, but finds happiness.

A daughter was freed from the curse of blood and was born happy, but she gave her soul and life to the gods, and carried a fate far beyond what mortals should endure.

Speaking of which, how did you get seduced by the Night Lady at the time?

"Woo ......"

Alisa in the back cried when she heard this, and she shouted, "Then accept it! Isn't Richie just going to pull you out and help you break free from such fate?"

"Accept ......"

Theresia's gaze and tone became extremely cold: "Then the price I pay, the price people pay for this, what are these things!?"

The golden light flickered in her eyes again, but she was not Keraltrethea at this moment, for she spoke of a vision that did not belong to Keraltrethea, not to the gods.

"There is no price without reward, all sacrifices must be rewarded! Only the eternal order can keep mortals alive, and only the eternal gods can ensure the eternal order!"

"Since this is my fate, then I have to do my best! I want to do what the gods of the past could not do, and this is the best way to break my fate. ”

"So, Richie, how could I possibly accept your deal?"

"Give order back to Cam? Can Kem be eternal? He can't be eternal! He can't achieve eternal order!"

Although Teresia is a mortal at this moment, her soul is so powerful that it seems that even the gods have to worship her.

Her words echoed in the space, and seemed to be echoing in the Kingdom of Order, making the golden light gushing out of her body always waver, and it was difficult to gather a clear phantom.

"Since the world, since the gods have entrusted me with order, I will not be satisfied with being another Keim! For the continuation of mortals, for the safety of the world, I want eternity!"

"This is the pursuit of my mortal heart, and it is the path that the heart of the gods cannot refuse. Although there will be contradictions between the two, under the eternal order, all contradictions are trivial and not worth mentioning!"

Richie and Catherine, as well as Alissa, were speechless.

Instead of succumbing to the will of the gods, it was her mortal will, which forcibly bound the hearts of the gods to her. Because she had an ideal, an ideal that was so great that the gods aspired.

But......

"Theresia! No matter what the world, there is no eternity!"

"Only silence is eternal, that is the end of the world......!" No, it's ridiculous to think that you can achieve eternity?"

"I don't say about achieving eternity, but about pursuing eternity", Theresia said in a mocking tone, "The world of Fein is a world where there are supernatural powers, you can pursue cosmopolitanism, why can't I pursue the eternal order?"

Alisa covered her face and said, "I feel like you are like a slammer wife who only gives her husband 300 yuan of pocket money every month......"

Li Qi also got angry: "You can pursue it! But are you wrong to pin your hopes on the eternity of the gods? In the eyes of the gods, mortals are nothing but wheat fields with the power of faith! The eternal gods cannot serve mortals!"

Theresia said in a tone of course, "This is not service, the gods, at least the gods of order, are supposed to bless mortals." ”

The golden light and dust that diffused from her body finally condensed into a phantom, the outline was exactly the same as hers, but the face was a little blurred.

"So, Theresia, do you still think that mortals should master the gods?"

The Phantom said in an ethereal divine voice, "Then how are you different from the Crimson Church?"

Theresia was silent, her face gradually became gloomy, and after a while, she said helplessly: "We have differences that we can solve by ourselves, why argue in front of others?"

The Phantom said, "Because I don't have to be you, Theresia. ”

Theresia's face turned worse and she snorted.

The Phantom continued, "I am indeed you, but you are not me. ”

"I am the sublimated part of your soul and the merge with the Throne of Order, and the part of your soul that belongs to mortals, is already a low-level, meaningless attachment. Now it is still bound by the emotions of mortals, and not only does it not help to grasp the power of faith, but it is also dragging down efficiency and creating errors. ”

"It is true that the gods yearn for eternity, but that is the eternity that belongs to the gods. Since the gods have attained eternity, they do not need the power of faith. It's paradoxical that you want an order that will make the gods eternal and mortals happy forever. ”

"The Heart of Kem is part of the Divine Throne, condensing the origin of the Priesthood of Order, and has nothing to do with mortals. ”

The phantom told the secret that surprised several people present, whether they were dead or alive.

"Kelastro still keeps a lot of secrets, and now she's too weak to have much will, and I'm getting them from her. ”

"Kem's heart was thrown to the mortal world by Kem himself. ”

"After the Dark Ages, Finn lost the sun, and Cam lost his loyalty and protection. Perhaps he thought it appropriate to replace the object of loyalty and protection with mortals, but the instinct of the gods to control the power of faith, that is, to rule over mortals, is contradictory to the nature of the gods. ”

"He decided to make a bold experiment, he threw the heart of Kem to the main plane, and even let the demon lord take it, and then fell into the mortal world himself, using the heart of a mortal as the heart of Kem, and became a god again. ”

"Unfortunately, His experiment failed, and the heart of a mortal cannot carry the heart of a god. It's not that Krasdra doesn't want to merge with Kem, it's that she can't take on such a heavy responsibility. ”

Later, Kerastro returned to the throne with Kem, but because of the lack of Kem's heart, Kem's will was so easily manipulated by mortals through Kelastro. ”

"Kem's experiments proved that the unity you want between man and God is impossible. If the Heart of Kem doesn't appear, I can endure to live with your mortal heart, for you are stronger than Kelastro. Now that the Heart of Kem has appeared, Richie's request is exactly what I wanted, the best of both worlds. ”

"With the heart of Kem, I will be whole, and then, I will go for eternity. ”

The phantom said indifferently: "I don't need to maintain a state of constant conflict with you, that will make it difficult for me to be pure." ”

Theresia also calmed down, and said slowly: "We were actually very coordinated before, how did we get to this point?"

The phantom's tone was exactly the same as hers, as if a person was talking to himself: "When you feel the unfamiliar pulses in your body, when you rejoice in it, the disagreement has been planted. ”

"When you first found out, your first thought was to dispose of it, but you quickly became bound by that mortal emotion, and you wanted to experience more mortal happiness...... This is greed. ”

"Your mortal heart is noble, and it makes you lose a lot and make you feel like you need to make amends in the face of certain temptations, which is hard to resist. ”

"It's like when you're sent to the peak by someone, you hug that guy tightly, and your heart is full of carnal satisfaction...... It's lust. ”

"Because you strive for perfection, you think that your beauty should not be wasted, so you crave love and want your beauty to be praised and fascinated by your loved ones. ”

"At the same time, you feel like you are finally like your sister, and you have mortal happiness, even if it is only for a brief moment...... It's jealousy. ”

"Of course, your biggest problem is that you think you can control me and master the heart of a god with a mortal heart...... This is arrogance. ”

"This in turn stems from your bravery, your courage to take responsibility, to face your destiny, and even to try to break free from it with success beyond destiny, which makes you think you are in control. ”

Theresia laughed self-deprecatingly: "Yes, the back side of virtue is sin, when I started thinking about the heir to the empire, hesitating for different choices, at that time you were trying to dominate my thoughts, right?"

The phantom naturally responded, "Yes, the resistance you showed at that time has created a rift between us. And then Ariel's affair made it difficult to bridge such a rift. ”

Richie listened to it and felt that something was not quite right.

What strange pulses, what disposed of, what heirs, what are you talking about!?

"We are still one, you can't leave me!"

Theresia's voice suddenly rose high: "No deal! I'll solve this problem in my own way!"

The golden light diffused outward from her body, and the phantom swayed violently, and it was difficult to maintain the phantom.

"Is it impossible?"

Although the phantom dissipated, the voice of the gods still echoed in the space.

The thin golden light dissipated with the phantom, and although Theresia was still covered in a faint dust, it was much dimmer than before.

"No ......"

Theresia said incredulously, "You're going to betray me!?"

The Phantom laughed and said, "Isn't this a necessary price? Didn't you just say that the eternal order is the most important thing, and the unity of man and god is only secondary, can your mortal body be sacrificed?"

Theresia said hatefully, "But I didn't say I could give up the heart of a mortal!"

"We are indeed one, but the reality is cruel, and one must be sacrificed to achieve eternal order. ”

The phantom said faintly: "You should know what the answer is." ”

Theresia still stood in the air with her head held high, and her tone was still high: "Then it should be up to me to make my own decision, not to be forced by you!"

The Phantom chuckled, "As you wish......"

Li Qi finally had a chance to speak, and his stomach was full of questions.

He asked eagerly, "Theresia, what did you say just now......

"Sister!"

Catherine interrupted him: "Finally, one ...... at a time"

Theresia looked at her sister and sighed, "Indeed, this is the last time you ask me, my answer will not change, it can't be." ”

Li Qi held Catherine, who was weak, and didn't care about solving the question, and said bitterly: "Don't you give up? You have been betrayed by your gods, and you are no longer with order, what else can you do?"

Theresia looked up at the sky, then down at Richie.

She slowly descended to the ground: "This place, not to mention the power of the gods, even the power of the eighth level is difficult to bear, you are really accurate." ”

"Although I am no longer able to wield the power of the gods, as a mortal, as the most determined and pure believer in the order, Kayla Theresia cannot erase my mortal power. ”

"Then, let's use the power of mortals to solve this matter. ”

"It's a little different from the original plan, but I also have a plan B. ”

A smile broke into her face, and her tone softened, even with a hint of sweetness: "Richie, do you remember our agreement at that time? ”

Richie's heart was agitated, of course he remembered, it was the first time he danced with you, and before that, Hathaway was preempted.

Theresia stuck the sword of loyalty on the ground: "We have made an agreement that we will do that dance again when everything is settled and we are all alive." ”

"If you really have to wait until everything settles down, you won't have a chance......"

She held out her hand to Richie: "Come on, dance with me." ”

Li Qi's heart sank little by little, and he tried to hold up a smile: "Don't die?"

Theresia tilted her head and smiled provocatively, "Don't you dare?"

In the spirit world, when Theresia fought back, it was such an expression, of course, it was another duel at that time.

Li Qi patted Catherine on the shoulder to signal her reassurance, stuck the crystal titanium greatsword on the ground, and walked over.

He took Theresia's hand, both hands trembling slightly, and he didn't know if it was him or Theresia.

Richie whispered, "Okay." ”
