Chapter 915: The Truth of the "Curse".
Hao Ren stood in this mirage, and although he had closed his eyes, he could clearly "see" that everything was slowly collapsing in all directions. The palace of the goddess slowly sank into a sea of blood red with a creaking and cracking sound, a rain of brimstone and fire poured down from the clouds to the world, and the ocean of the Founding Star burned brightly, and the flames were filled with energy beyond mortal comprehension, and all sin and glory were wiped out in this flame.
The inner layers of the Founding Star seem to be beginning to collapse, and some unprecedented force is building up in the depths of the planet. In the continuous explosions, Hao Ren reopened his eyes, and the last scene he saw was that the golden disc stained with divine blood vibrated violently, as if it was about to fall through the cracks in the palace. He subconsciously reached out to grab something, but only had time to touch the edge of the golden disc before he watched it fall.
The blood of the goddess was on his hands, burning like magma.
There was another loud bang, and the dizziness of the whirling world made Hao Ren lose his intuition all of a sudden, he didn't know how long he had been up and down in the chaos, he didn't know how many indescribable things he had traversed, and finally he finally had a down-to-earth feeling again.
"Ho-" Hao Ren subconsciously let out a long breath, as if he wanted to squeeze out all the air in his lungs, and all the five senses that had been out of order instantly returned, and he felt the temperature, the air current, the light, and the sounds around him again. He opened his eyes in a trance, and found himself still standing on the altar from before, his fingers retracting from the black-red marks on the surface of the golden disc as if they were electrocuted: this was the knee-jerk reaction of his body, because his subjective consciousness was being filled with a large number of noisy thoughts, and he was almost unable to think.
Hao Ren shook his head. The massive surface of the golden disc shimmered in his entire field of vision, and the bottom edge of the disc was a black mark that had not yet completely faded. The last scene he had seen in the previous hallucinations coincided with the scene in front of him, and he realized that he finally knew the truth.
"Partner?" The sound of the data terminal woke him up from his stupor. "Why are you in a daze?"
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, and saw that the last Heavenly God Contract had been pasted to the edge of the disc by him, and those black things were rapidly fading, and he patted his head: "How long did I lose my mind just now?" ”
"How long? Aren't you stunned for less than a second," the data terminal was a little inexplicable, "Of course, your eyes for that second are wonderful......"
Hao Ren replied vaguely, an indescribable sense of exhaustion welling up from the depths of his heart, he didn't doubt the statement of the data terminal, but he was just a little surprised when he knew that the real world had just passed a second. And this second consumed a lot of his energy, as if all the previous experiences in the hallucination were truly reflected in his body. Vivian and Itzax both realized that Hao Ren was not in the right state at this time, and they hurried over to check the situation, and Vivian easily held Hao Ren, who was a little fluttery: "How are you?" ”
"I just saw a vision," Hao Ren smiled bitterly and walked down from the altar, Vivien's hands were cold, but the coldness just made him feel a little more energetic, "and I know some things, I finally understand what innate hostility is...... Well? ”
Hao Ren's gaze unconsciously fell on his hand. He couldn't help but let out a strange snort: he saw a strange red mark on the palm of his right hand, as if it had been burned by something, and he shook his hand, feeling a faint burning sensation spread from those marks. Reminds him that these are not hallucinations or anything.
Vivien also noticed the strange marks on his hands: "What is this?" ”
“…… I don't know," Hao Ren had some conjecture in his heart, but this conjecture was too weird. Completely contrary to the laws of reality, "I was exposed to the blood of the goddess of creation before. But...... But that's in the hallucination. ”
"Goddess of Creation?!" Vivien and Itzax spoke in unison.
Hasselblad approached, and the old hunter didn't know what the goddess of creation and the god-killing war were. But he could feel the negative forces on the wheel of the sun fading away: "It's all done? ”
Vivien and Itzhax looked at Hao Ren, who exhaled, rubbing his forehead vigorously to figure out what he knew from the illusion. Finally he spoke: "I have unlocked the secret of the innate hostility phenomenon. ”
The other three immediately showed expressions of eagerness to listen, but Hao Ren glanced at Hasselblad first: "Hasselblad, you may not understand what I am going to say, but don't ask yet, and I'll explain it to you after I finish the original story?" ”
Hasselblad had already sensed that Hao Ren and his party knew some huge secret, and this secret was something that he, a thousand-year-old hunter, had never touched, but he still nodded, suppressing his curiosity: "Okay, I'm already glad that you are willing to let me observe." ”
Hao Ren nodded slightly, and pointed to a dark mark on the edge of the golden disc: "Those are the blood stains of the goddess of creation." ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone fell silent, and it wasn't until a few seconds later that Yitzhax broke the silence: "You mean this thing......"
"At that time, it was at the scene of the god-killing scene, and the goddess was standing in this position with her back against the golden disc......" Hao Ren said as he gestured with his hand to the scene he saw, "The god-killer is a man in golden-red armor, he stood near the rune over there, and then stabbed the goddess with a black sword that looked like a fragment of the universe. The blood of God is splattered on the disk, as you can see. ”
What Hao Ren learned in the illusion was not only the sights he saw with the naked eye, but also some knowledge that appeared in his brain out of thin air. He didn't pay attention at the time, but when he came to his senses, he realized that he had more memories in his head. He pieced together these memories with what he saw, and finally restored the truth of everything:
“…… The blood of the gods is evidence of the great sin of killing gods, so the disc itself becomes a piece of evidence of the crime. When the wall of reality collapsed, a large number of alien races were thrown into this universe, and along with them were transported to the golden disc and the sins it carried. Innate hostility is not a curse, nor is it a spell that interferes with the spirit, but a great sin caused by killing gods......"
The divine blood was originally sacred, but after killing the gods, the blood was filled with the anger of the will of the universe and the sins of the rebels, Hao Ren did not know exactly how this transformation process was, but the result was obvious: the divine blood turned into a contaminant, triggering the fight of all the aliens in the surface world.
The polluting power carried by the golden disc leaked from the beginning, as early as 10,000 years ago, when the first aliens other than Vivien came to Earth, the disk fell on Earth at the same time, it first polluted the rift in the Wall of Reality, and then all the creatures that passed through it. It then slumbered in the depths of the earth for thousands of years, until it was dug out of the pit by the Ancatero family. The Shadows of Chaos that leaked out of the disc after that were indeed another manifestation of "innate hostility", but they were nothing more than spilled dregs.
The real root is the divine blood on the disc.
"If that's right, the amnesia of the alien race is also caused by the contamination of the divine blood," Hao Ren said his guess, "and different races have different resistance to this pollution - the Kraken is not a life created by the goddess, so they are almost unaffected, but maintain their original peaceful nature, the Ancatero family should have a special physique, they themselves are a race with strong spiritual power, so they have become moderates among the aliens, werewolves, vampires, witchers and other races come from the same planet, These Halletta aliens are uniformly polluted, so they become the most hostile race to each other, and they have also become the protagonists of the alien melee on Earth. In addition, I suspect that there are some races that have been more severely traumatized, and if they are too sensitive to the divine blood, they may even turn into monsters directly, completely losing their original intelligent creature characteristics......"
"The scorpions of Tartarus," Vivien said suddenly, "Zeus once threw a bunch of three-tailed scorpions into Tartarus' prison, and he said that they were strange, that they lived like wild beasts, but that they had many elaborate ornaments and mechanisms on their carapaces, and that they had fragments of generators and vehicles in their nests, which they themselves did not seem to use. ”
"That should be the race that has been completely polluted into monsters by the blood of the gods, and most of these races can't survive the melee of the early Age of Mythology," Hao Ren shook his head and sighed, "Evil." (To be continued......)
