Chapter 559: What the Demon King Should Do
Hao Ren looked at the scroll that had turned into pieces in a daze, and he didn't know what was going on: "What does this mean...... Did I break it? β
"The scroll just generated a spiritual signal similar to that of an intelligent creature, but it was torn apart in an instant," the number of terminals immediately flew into the air to scan Hao Ren's whole body and the fragments of the scroll, and it was checked back and forth several times before he suddenly reacted to what was going on, "Oh Minato...... Understood, it's an attack with divinity. β
Hao Ren instantly felt his hairs tighten: "Divinity?!" β
"This machine knows that this is a bit difficult to understand," the number of jΓΉ terminals suddenly turned into a spiritual dialogue, "but it seems that this scroll is divine, very weak, and only has a little bit of divinity because of its connection with a true god, but it is still enough to cause spiritual damage to ordinary people who ignore defenses." β
Hao Ren looked up and found that the people around him were all looking at this side in a daze, and the eyes of the Pope and several bishops were even more awkward, and he quickly waved his hand: "Oh, it's okay, it's okay...... Wait a minute, I'll study the research. β
As he spoke, he ran to a no-man's corner with the number of terminals, then pinched the remaining scroll fragments and muttered to the terminal in his mind, "These scrolls are from the true gods? Could it really be a relic of the goddess of creation? β
"This is the only possibility," the Count Terminal was still scanning the remnants of the scroll, but now its power had completely collapsed, no different from mortal things, "It seems that those cultists didn't know how to get the real artifact, no wonder they dared to organize this assassination." The local machine estimates that once this operation is successful, they will soon announce the news that the Pope has been punished for betraying the goddess. Of course, this plan is not possible now. β
Hao Ren smacked his lips: "Those cultists are quite capable." But this scroll is also a bit bizarre, and it would be fine if it were something ordinary. But with divinity...... Could it be that the goddess of creation used this thing back then? β
"No, it takes on the characteristics of a two-stage reaction. Therefore, it should be a ritual sacrifice related to the goddess, such as the sacrifices and ritual objects used by an ancient race to worship the goddess. Shu JΓΉ took this opportunity to explain some knowledge about divinity to Hao Ren, "'divinity' is a very complex thing, which belongs to the extension of the theory of information mapping and information disturbance. It is not only something that has been used by the true God himself that has divinity, nor is it that everything that has been used by the true God necessarily produces divinity, which requires a mapping rule. One of these rules is the 'ritual sacrifice', which sometimes produces divinity when something used by mortals in a ritual to imitate the Holy Spirit is approved or followed by the true God. At this time, it is not an artifact, but it is no longer ordinary. The scroll in your hand should be something like that. β
"Is it something that some ancient race used to worship the goddess...... Hao Ren pondered, "Is it from the ancient magic empire?" That's not right...... There are no Leta runes on it. Moreover, the ancient magic empire's belief in the goddess of creation does not seem to be as good as modern ones, so it should not be able to produce such high-end goods. β
The number jΓΉ terminal swayed: "This scroll should not have been made on this planet...... Its material is very special, it is an extremely complex synthetic fabric, which requires extremely high technology, which does not match the current technology tree of this planet and the known technology tree of the ancient magic empire. The machine suspects that this thing is from the same place as the giant brain summoned by the cultists. β
Hao Ren nodded, but then frowned: "If it is really a holy relic related to the Goddess of Creation, then why would it attack the Pope?" Is there a more devout follower of the goddess in this world than the Pope? β
"What if it was an indiscriminate attack on a target?" The number jΓΉ terminal suddenly said, "The goddess of creation in this world is obviously mentally abnormal, and everything related to her is like crazy." It is difficult to say how many of the holy relics associated with her are controlled. β
Hao Ren nodded slightly, thinking that this was at least a possibility. Then he rubbed the fragments in his hand a little strangely: "Then why did it suddenly explode?" β
"Because it attacks you with divinity," the number jΓΉ terminal hit Hao Ren in the chest, "and you are a divine messenger." β
Hao Ren: "...... What? β
"You're an oracle. The kind that has signed a contract, so the conflict between the scroll and you just now is strictly the conflict between the dream plane creation goddess and the raven chief. The Raven Chief's rank is obviously higher than that of the Goddess of Creation - so yours is higher than this scroll. Divinity is the equivalent of a permission tree to the rules of the world, absolutely valid but rigid. If something with low privilege wants to invade a source of information with high privilege, the result can only be a BUG. β
Hao Ren was stunned. Suddenly I felt as if I was very powerful: "Why do you think I'm forced to rise sharply when you say this?" β
The number of jΓΉ terminals slammed into Hao Ren's head: "Nonsense, you were originally a clergyman!" And a clergy who is directly accountable to God! Even if you usually hang your children and eat and wait for death, smoke, drink, burn your head, and put tattoos on your arms, you TM are also clergy. So can you be a little more conscious of this in the future? At least remember that you are a person with an ID card when you come out to mingle! β
Hao Ren didn't have this feeling, he was exposed in a few seconds, touched the back of his head and sighed: "Tsk, I didn't expect this identity to have a practical effect." But is there anything other than making this thing (referring to the scroll) hold the fuse? β
The number jΓΉ terminal thought for a moment: "...... Does it count if the job title is longer than others when printing the ID card? β
Hao Ren: "......"
He quietly put a few fragments of the scroll into his personal space, and then came to the Pope and the others. After thinking about it, he still decided to hide the matter about the "divinity" in order to prevent the collapse of the Radiant Sect's faith in a large area: "This thing is a one-time thing, and it will be scrapped after you resist it once. β
The Pope took the pieces that had been messed up, and when he saw that they were no longer any threat, he handed them to an archbishop beside him: "Put these aside. On behalf of the Radiant Order, I once again apologize to all of you and thank you for helping to subdue this blasphemous creature. Bishop Malfoy, bring this blasphemous creature to the Inquisition, and hopefully he will still be able to communicate with people. β
Itzhax moved out of the way and had several Church Knights step forward to tie up the flesh monster that was still twitching, and it took a lot of effort, but the monster that was so weak was no match for the strong Church Knights, and he was soon tied up in a cage by the Holy Silver Chain. Izzax frowned before the knights took the cage and asked, "You're going to interrogate this guy?" β
"I can only do my duty," the white-robed old man, known as Bishop Malfoy, bowed slightly, "If he can still listen to people, I hope he can atone for some of his sins by confessing his crimes." β
Obviously, even the bishop of the Inquisition is not confident that he can extract any useful clues from this mass of flesh and blood, and this is also the most troublesome thing for the Radiant Cult to deal with the cultists these days: those cultists have created a lot of monsters and puppets with strange flesh magic, and most of their sabotage operations are done with those flesh monsters, and the accusers behind the scenes almost never show up. The Church Knights and Kingdom Knights swept through dozens of peripheral orders before they finally threatened the root of this cult, and this was the biggest difficulty they encountered.
Itzax crossed his arms and pondered, hesitated for a long time before asking, "What do you think about torturing souls?" β
Hao Ren immediately heard the aura of the villain from the words of the big demon.
There is a superficial study of soul science on the planet of Halleta, and the strong also have the ability to sense souls, but apparently this side has not yet developed to the point where it can pull souls out and pat them flat, so the Pope and Bishop Malfoy are a little stunned. Seeing this, Itzax explained: "That's right, I have the ability to control the soul, if you need - I can extract the soul of this monster. If I'm not mistaken, only one of the many souls locked in this mass of flesh is dominant, and the rest, including the knight named John, are trapped in their shells. Then I might be able to get the innocents out of the way. Is this contrary to your teachings? β
Vivien poked Hao Ren's arm: "Lao Wang has finally done something that a demon king should do." (To be continued......)
