Chapter 666: The Raider Begins!
"Raiders or something, the flag really stands up and flies-"
Pei Chen was meticulously and neatly hand-drawing the handscroll of the formation diagram of the Kabbalah Tree of Life, when he heard such a sentence from 'himself', and suddenly his hand shook and he almost threw the brush in his hand out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although the info was silent for a while, his mood was quite complicated, and the feeling was really difficult to understand.
His divine thoughts can directly penetrate time and space, and the simplest spiritual attack can also break through from the surface to tens of thousands of kilometers above the sky, exploding and destroying satellites in dark outer space on the spot.
Such a terrifying spiritual thinking can be called the vastness and height of the gods, so the abilities derived from all aspects will naturally be infinitely raised to an extremely terrifying height, memory ability, calculation ability, thinking speed, mental activity...... Even the thought process itself involves the quantum effects of time and space, which derives powerful horizons or premonitions such as penetrating the past, foreseeing the future, and watching cause and effect.
The whim is not a whim, but refers to the immortal god through years of practice and tempering, the three things of trouble, hatred, and love are forever left behind, and the heart is like a rock and never wavered. But if it is all to this extent, but there will still be a whim in the heart, then it will indicate that something is about to happen or even has already happened. For example, in the legend, there is a Taiyi real person sitting in the Jinguang Cave of Qianyuan Mountain sitting on the Biyou bed, and he is lucky with the Yuan Shen, and suddenly he has a whim, and sure enough, the disciple will soon come to report, and the disciple Nezha has an accident-
That's what it means.
It's not just the fox demon clone who has a premonition of a bad cold, it's that he himself has sensed it, and he has a clearer understanding of what the specific changes are. Because at that moment, the future he saw in his eyes suddenly gave birth to infinite changes, and finally there was a development that might be particularly clear and almost certain, about what the fox demon clone was about to encounter in the future.
- Of course, it's not that he will become a villain and be counterattacked by the protagonist or anything, after all, in such a short period of time, even if Gokawa Shido eats the Nasu mushroom cultivated with Jin Kela, it will not be possible to reach the root and soar to the root...... Right?
But as far as the possibility of the future development of Pei Chen foreseeing, maybe it would be a better choice to be defeated by the protagonist's counterattack as a villain?
“……”
First silent for a while, and then subtly aware of the slightest danger, Pei Chen subconsciously straightened up and distanced himself from the table in front of him, as if there was a grenade on the table.
"What are you kidding, even if 'I' was mistaken for an elf, I wouldn't have been in that situation...... How impressive is it for them to think that they can deal with 'me' in the same way as any other elf? …… But to be on the safe side, is it necessary to add an extra restriction, or terminate the plan early? ”
Somewhat irritably, he grabbed his long hair, causing it to become messy and loose for a few moments, and he forced himself to calm down, and then shook his head and felt that he was too worried. Shaking his head and sighing softly, he turned his attention back to what he had been doing.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God...... Does this mean that the Word and God are the same, that they are both persons, and that they are on equal footing, and that there is no distinction between superior and inferior? Or is it showing that the Word and God exist at the same time, and that there is no difference between the first and the last? Or does it show that the Tao and God are face to face with each other, that their minds are communicative with each other, and that there is no secret to each other? Pei Chen looked at the Tree of Life Array diagram he had drawn and muttered to himself, the basic structures such as the three pillars, the ten primordial essences, the four worlds, and the twenty-two paths were clear and clear, as if they had been printed out by molecular technology.
"It is understandable if the understanding of this 'Tao' is a reference to the mythological system of Euthi, or the evolutionary path pursued by every transcendent being. But if we mean the ultimate truth of the root of the universe and the root of change...... No way!! If it's so cruel, then it's a philosophical God or a god in the true religious sense......"
Shaking his head decisively, Pei Chen's face was full of disbelief. Just like Yahweh God, who is the God who created the universe in Judaism, Christianity, Islam and other sects, is God in the religious sense, but it is different from the concept of God in the religious sense and the philosophical definition of God, or it has not fully reached that state.
It's like a person who has done something shocking by mistake for some reason, and the newspapers are also promoting his heroic deeds, whitewashing him as a heroic character who is brave and resourceful in the face of danger. In this way, there are two specific existences, one is the person himself, and the other is the concept of a big hero who has been shaped because of this person. Anyone knows who the big hero is referring to, but in fact, although the big hero is that person, that person is not a big hero-
Because in people's cognition, a big hero should be brave and strategic, and not chaotic......
Therefore, the god in religious legends refers to Yahweh God, and it can even be said that this concept came about because of Him. But Yahweh God is a concrete being, not a conceptual noun for the category of God in the true sense. Because the latter explains, illustrates, manifests, and represents the attributes of God, the former is a concrete being but fails to fully and thoroughly express the ultimate and unique concept.
After hesitating for a moment, Pei Chen said to himself with some uncertainty: "Maybe this method is not impossible......?" ”
He lowered his head and looked at the handscroll in his hand with the diagram of the Tree of Life in his hand, Kingdom was one of the original points, symbolizing the kingdom, matter, and man, and also represented the synthesis of the four elements, that is, the existence of matter. Humanity is in a separate kingdom and has to go through twenty-two paths to ten circles, and a meditative journey that ends with the crown. However, there are only so many human realms, and further up there is not the realm that human beings should set foot in and can set foot in, that is, the realm that belongs to angels and gods.
"Transcendence, the nature of God, the Root Incarnation has previously told me about the different forms of the Most High Throne through the mouth of Bai Qi, which are the Tao, the Infinite, the Immovable Movement, and the Kabbalah Crown...... There may be others, but it seems to me that they are different manifestations of the same order! Because the practice of different 'Dao' or a certain 'system' finally reaches the supreme supreme, but because one's own intellect and obsession still retain the original personality instead of assimilating with the Dao, even the same ultimate concept has different ways of expression? ”
But if you go back to the reverse reasoning, does that mean that those different paths are all paths to the root? It's like Ottie said...... Whether it's Norse mythology, Hinduism, Buddhism, Greek mythology, Mayan mythology, witchcraft, Shinto, Shugendo...... Or is it something else, if you can cultivate to the extreme in these 'Dao' or 'mythological systems', you can become a demon god? ”
Repeatedly reasoning from what he had mastered, and finally Pei Chen felt that he might have grasped a rough idea, he hesitated with his handscroll, and finally added a few words 'Kabbalah Crown' to the corner of the Tree of Life array—the realm of the true god that touches the cause of all and governs the Most High Seat.
"Maybe it can be used as one of the paths to choose, anyway, the original human realm is indeed recorded in my concept, and I can reverse it back at any time to correct the path and open the final completion ......" muttered in a low voice, he silently added variable parameters to his final plan, recalculated, speculated, adjusted, and considered what should be very far away, and I didn't even know if it was possible to really happen.
Immediately afterwards, Pei Chen's expression changed slightly: "Huh? ”
Turning his attention back to the encounter with the fox demon clone in the form of a nine-tailed god, the corners of his mouth tugged unnaturally: "The coping strategy has really been decided?" …… The IQ is impressive, tsk, but then I'm a little interested, maybe I can watch a good show - wait, who am I? Where am I? Why do I have such strange thoughts? ”
After reacting the next moment, his expression froze, and he was stunned to find that he was just in the mood to watch a good show—this was obviously what 'himself' was about to encounter—but there were not many other ups and downs in his emotions, as if he had really completely detached himself from the world's thinking concepts or something, and the things that were definitely out of the ordinary in the eyes of ordinary people were only interested in and not interested in their own thinking.
Does this mean...... Once you are really interested or even like, gender is actually no longer in your consideration?!
“…… Hehe, what a joke. This discovery made Pei Chen nervously laugh a few times.
……
……
"Hey, why the hell are you following me!"
In a certain neighborhood of Tiangong City, which was restored to its original state, the fox demon clone wearing snow-white feather weaving held his cheek with one hand and looked at the sun in the sky boredly. He was now sitting in front of a cold drink shop on the corner of the street, with a cold drink on the table in front of him, and opposite him was a dark-haired girl in an incredible dress, as striking as a princess, with a dreamy glow in her eyes. The near-perfect appearance and posture have a sense of mystery that can almost instantly seize the viewer's ability to think.
But the fox demon clone obviously didn't appreciate it, and it didn't take long for him to knock on the table a little impatiently, and asked the above sentence that once it was heard by others, it would inevitably be beaten into meat sauce with blood and tears from the single dogs who didn't even have a chance.
Thankfully, there was no one else around - it was a dead city, and while it didn't look any different on the surface, a closer look reveals that its inhabitants are the walking dead, like clockwork machines, repeating their day-to-day work with meticulous precision. It's like a puppet, it's like a machine, but it's not like a living person.
Pedestrians on the streets, employees in companies, journalists on TV...... Everyone was moving in an orderly manner, doing their own thing, but if you look closely, you will see that their eyes are empty and their expressions are very mechanical and wooden. The scariest thing is that they seem to be able to talk normally, but those are just conversations that are pre-set by using subconscious instinct and muscle memory - as long as an outsider cuts in and interrupts their conversation, they will soon find that they don't know how to continue as if they have a logical conflict.
It's almost like the 'torch' in "Burning Eye Xana", because the whole city has been swallowed up, and in order to alleviate the distortion of reality, the 'torch' is left as a substitute for the non-existent person in the present world.
Although there are very different differences in nature, in terms of performance, it seems that the two things are very similar. Because although the fox demon clone returned the dismantled city and the material state of human beings, the souls of the tens of millions of residents were not returned, and it can basically be said that the current Tiangong City is only an empty shell, with no appearance, and it is a real dead city - the only individual in the city who can still be called a complete life, which is too little compared to an entire city.
Even a cold drink shop and the commercial street where it is located are all such puppets, otherwise the fox demon clone and the elf princess would not have appeared in this remote place as customers so big and undisguised.
"Why can't I follow you?" The black-haired girl asked very innocently, and by the way, she sucked the cold drink in her hand with satisfaction. She looked at her surroundings with a curious look, as if she was observing the world carefully, but when her eyes fell on the puppet-like humans around her, she still unconsciously became very cold, and had quite enough hostility.
"......" fox demon clone.
He lay on the table weakly, and his eyes were a little broken: "Forget it, it's not appropriate to say too profound things to communicate with you...... No, you shouldn't say things that children don't understand. "No, the elf girl in front of her doesn't contain all the memories related to herself, including her name, and she is attacked by humans every time she appears, which makes her not only full of fear and hostility towards humans, but also has no time to observe the world carefully.
Therefore, in this world, even in terms of common sense, she is indeed no different from a child who does not understand the world.
"Why do you say that?" The girl still looked around vigilantly, and said with some puzzlement.
"Because that will make me feel a sense of intellectual superiority......" The fox demon clone raised his head and looked up, and said with a blank face.
"But......" the girl thought for a moment, feeling a little entangled, "I don't understand too much, is there any connection between the two?" ”
"Aren't you asking such a stupid question enough to make me superior?" The fox demon clone waved his hand angrily, then sat up straight and said, "Forget it, it's not that you can't follow me, anyway, it's a matter of time...... After all, you're one of the most basic points, and it's Kingdom. By the way, what's your name, you can't even call it all the time, right?! ”
Kingdom? What is that?
The elf girl who subconsciously frowned was about to ask, but she heard the other party ask her name unexpectedly. At this moment, she showed a rather melancholy expression, looked away from the 'kind' that she had finally seen, and muttered in a low voice, "No, I don't know—I—I don't have a name—"
It was an expression of despair that no one would care for them.
With a bang, the fox demon clone, who was still puzzled, slapped the table suddenly, and said categorically: "Then it's called Cuihua...... Ah no, it's good to call the night sword god Shika!! ”
Although he really wanted to satisfy his bad taste, but the moment the name full of local flavor just came out, he sensed the killing intent flowing from the upstream of his own existence, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that the deity would definitely not be happy to watch the campus harem romantic comedy, watching a vote of the main characters with the names of "Cuihua" and "Ruhua" running around the world.
- That kind of mental pollution is a little too terrible.
The girl frowned, and after a short silence, she opened her lips lightly: "Night Sword God Ten Fragrances ......?" What is that? ”
"Your name." The fox demon clone coughed lightly.
"Why Toka?"
"Because today is April 10th." The face of the fox demon clone does not change.
"So, what does the night sword god mean?"
The corners of the fox demon clone's eyes twitched a few times, and his face darkened a little and said, "That is the name of a calamity snake in Japanese legends, and this name symbolizes that you and my existence have a special connection...... Uh, well, it does seem like there's a connection. Speaking of which, his original perfunctory attitude of nonsense also inexplicably produced a subtle change, and he was a little puzzled that although he was indeed talking about it, it seemed that theoretically it was indeed reasonable.
After all, the current form of the deity is indeed the Serpent of the End, which symbolizes the greatest calamity of the world, this strange coincidence...... Is it really just a coincidence?
He fell into doubt, and the Night Sword God Juka was also frightened by his not very good expression, and then there was a long silence for ten or so minutes. In the end, the girl still couldn't suppress the curiosity in her heart, and said cautiously: "That-what about you, what is your name?" ”
The fox demon clone blinked, and looked like he yawned indifferently: "Me? I don't have a name, at least not now......"
"Huh? Why? What should I call you ......? "The Night Sword God Shika looked very confused, since the other party can name himself, then why doesn't he have a name?
"No, it's just that my real name hasn't been given yet...... And that cause and effect is not over, the deity will not and cannot allow me to have another name......" The fox demon clone whispered, glanced at the girl quietly and then lowered his eyes, "But the real name has not been obtained, but the daily name can be used, you can call me the Nine-Tails ......"
……
……
This place looks like a bridge for a spaceship.
Starting from the door through which it passes, the floor extends into a semi-oval, and a chair reminiscent of the captain's seat is set in the center. In addition, there are gentle stairs on the left and right sides, and if you continue down the stairs, you can see the crew operating precision instruments on the lowest floor. The overall scenery looks slightly dim, and the light on the screens set up here and there proudly declares its existence.
"—that is, this is a monster called an elf; This is AST, which is a counter-elf unit that belongs to the Ground Self-Defense Force. You're in a big problem, if not this one...... Inexplicably kind and kind, maybe you've died two or three times now, then, what's next—" Tied her hair into a double ponytail with a wide black ribbon, her petite body, round eyes like acorns, and a girl in a red military uniform gushed to her brother to instill the 'common sense of the dark world' that ruined the three views.
"Wait...... Wait a minute! ”
"What? What's wrong? I, the commander, have explained everything to you, and you should be honored and choked with tears. Today I made a special exception and allowed you to lick the soles of my feet. ”
Gokawa Shido frowned, although he had repeatedly confirmed that he was not a dream, nor was he a hallucination or a prank, but he still felt like he was in a dream, and he couldn't accept such a large amount of information for a while. He looked at the appearance, tone, and temperament exuding from his whole body in front of him, which was slightly different, but it was indeed his sister's girl, and he tried his best to quickly use his brain to sort out the information he obtained.
Although he didn't get any useful and wonderful advice from his ordinary and ordinary brain for a while, he finally found a key point: "You say this is an elf?" So what about this one...... Shouldn't both be elves? ”
Kotori Gokawa raised her chin slightly, made a look down on her brother, and then tilted her head to look at the recent video that was repeated on the screen not far away: "Regarding this one, I can't confirm it for the time being...... After all, this is the first time that a male elf has been discovered, and there is no reaction from the instrument. Either this is another form of mysterious life form that is different from the elf, or he has the ability to shield from psychic detection. ”
After a few seconds of hesitation, Wuhe Qinli, who was in commander mode, clasped his hands to his chest and snorted lightly: "I personally think that the latter is more likely, and others also think so......"
This is not only a reasonable inference based on common sense and experience, but also a denial of reality and the fear of discovering that there are other supernatural factors outside of the elves that they are also unable to control and oppose.
"Uh...... That should be...... Elf, right? Gokawa Shido scratched his cheeks and said. Right now, he saw the black vortex of despair on the screen, playing with the material phenomena in the palm of his hand, and the terrifying figure that could destroy and reorganize an entire city with an understatement, and felt a sense of powerlessness and fear.
"That's right, monsters that appear in this world from time to time, whose true identity is unknown, as long as they appear in this world, even if they don't have that will, will blow away the things around them. The phenomenon known as the space earthquake is the effect of elves like them when they come to this world. Gokawa Kotori nodded, neatly putting that suspicious target into the category of the elven race.
"And, here's next. AST - Fight against the Elves Specialized Forces. As soon as the elves appear, they will fly to the scene to deal with it, in short, 'kill the elve'......"
"......" Five Rivers Shidao.
Kill the elves? Isn't it a thousand miles to send people's heads?
"Forget it, in this case, we won't sell it...... Shidao. The commander girl called her brother's name very unlovingly, "You should also understand the situation, Tiangong City is still in a state of destruction, except for me, you, and a few of us, everyone else is just the walking dead - according to you, it was that 'person' who took away their souls?" It's incredible, but is it really a soul? ”
Speaking of this, the young man felt that his mood was unprecedentedly heavy, and he reluctantly recalled the situation and specific details at that time: "That's exactly what I said...... But not all of them have been taken from their souls, he has already returned 10,000 souls, that is, the souls of those in our school and in the vicinity, and it is said that it is also a reward for me, for the courage of daring to do something to him before......"
By the end, his voice grew quieter.
"What a bad behavior!" The commander girl shook her head and sighed, her eyes revealing a kind of jealousy, "So, whether you want it or not, this game or the gamble has already begun?" The prize for winning is the soul of the millions of inhabitants of this city? ”
“…… That's right. ”
"So, what do you think?" Gokawa Kotori folded her hands on her knees gracefully, her eyes blazing as if she was waiting for her brother's answer, "Do you think there's any way?" You...... Think you'll be able to beat this terrible game? Or do you provide relevant first-hand information about your presence and then quit and leave everything to the professionals? ”
She seemed to represent Reyin, Kannatsuki, the crew on the lower deck, and the aerial ship, Ratatoskr, asking the question.
......Faced with this question, Wuhe Shidao didn't know how to answer, and his head already understood what his sister said.
He really wanted to quit, but, but, he couldn't do it anyway! Because it seems that there are not many people in Tiangong City who are still alive and know about it, and once he withdraws, his sister, the Qin Li in front of him, who doesn't know when he became the commander of a suspicious organization, will obviously be responsible.
So, I can't do it myself!
Wuhe Shidao, who took a deep breath, found that his mouth had automatically intertwined words, and he made what might be the craziest decision in his life. He wants to attack this 'game', which is definitely not a joke, and win back the souls of millions of city dwellers from the hands of that terrifying, elven existence!
