Chapter 617: Troublesome Daoist
In the beginning, the universe was a chaotic universe, which was the beginning of many mythological systems that can be traced back to before the ancient chaos. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It's like those old stories with yellowed pages that like to start with a classic 'once upon a time'. This kind of legend about the Zhiwei in the period of 'chaos at the beginning and the beginning of the world' is also mostly conventional, and they like to use such an old-fashioned beginning.
When the universe was in chaos, there was already an existence called 'Orlog', which was not an entity, but the oldest and most powerful chaotic will, or existence. He has no beginning and no end, he comes into being out of nothing, he is neither begotten nor destroyed, he is neither impure nor pure. He seemed to be a god, but He didn't do anything, He didn't say anything.
He did not create the world, nor did He refine stones to make up the heavens, nor did He have an epiphany under a tree, nor did He walk on the sea, nor did He curse the unbelievers to hell, nor did He reward the devout with seventy-two virgins...... Well, this is indeed an existence that can be equated with the will of the great universe itself, and indeed the most salted god.
- Because He only exists as a backdrop for the world of Norse mythology, and basically does nothing else......
I don't know what the purpose and meaning of his existence is, just like a knight's novel that creates a vicious dragon at the beginning, killing people and setting fires, raging in the king's territory, and demanding that the king hand over the princess or something. The protagonist then appears as a knight and finally passes the king's test and then marries the princess......
And then, and then—
And then that's it, the dragon that was said at the beginning was completely ignored, and it didn't appear again until the end......
Excuse-me? Are you meowing a joke?
This can't help but make people feel like 'I have a saying about MMP, I don't know whether to talk about it or not', and it is precisely because of this that this theoretically the most awesome existence in Norse mythology has always been directly ignored.
In other words, this chaotic consciousness called 'Orlog' does not actually produce subjective action and autonomous will, just like the prototype of the cosmic will that is about to be personified in gestation, but has not yet been fully completed. On the contrary, the giants and gods who really exist as living beings are more famous, and the next ones are those demigods, elves, and the like.
- The gods of Asaph slew the giant Ymir, created the heavens and the earth, arranged the sun and the moon, and prescribed the seasons, which is the creation myth. And they made man out of two sections of trees that floated from the sea, and made men out of ash branches, and women out of elm branches, and this is the origin of man.
"Honestly, there were four of the first gods, Odin, Willy, and Fey, and their father, Bauer. If their mother, the giantess Bestra, was counted in, there were more than four, anyway, there was a bloodline confusion between the primordial giants and the first generation of gods......" Pei Chen said in a joking tone.
"But what is puzzling is that I don't know why the father of the gods after the creation of the world was Odin instead of his father Bauer...... To be more precise, it should be that after giving birth to three sons and killing Ymir, the god Bauer has no role. However, to be able to kill the original giant ancestor, the theoretical first-generation god king is the strongest person......"
"Maybe it's all the same, after all, the giant ancestor Ymir can't be a parallel trade, even the world we are in and the world that supports the world are all grown on his heart......" Naiako showed a gloomy expression, and speculated with a malicious sneer, purely a beautiful girl with an evil painting style.
Pei Chen was slightly stunned, and then pondered: "...... What you said is not unreasonable, maybe Bao Er really suffered from his injuries afterwards and was also taken away together? The so-called god-king throne was directly inherited to Odin's head? ”
"It makes sense to say that, but it's a pity that this kind of divine realm secrets generally don't have much detailed information, just like I can't figure out the most authentic statement of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, there are too many mythological changes......"
As he spoke, everyone stopped, for it was now before the magnificent palace.
The huge castle was made of huge blocks of ashlar, each of which was not the size of at least one mud truck, but it was neatly used to build the huge castle in front of him. The towers and battlements are all towering into the sky, and there are metal nails the size of grinding plates on top of the city gate made of huge wooden boards, densely nailed in rows and rows, and the height of the Futaba city gate alone is hundreds of meters-
This can no longer be described by words such as 'magic workmanship' and 'creation of Zhong Shenxiu', because this is a real miracle! Even in the modern world, no other country has been able to mobilize so many resources and manpower to build these palace complexes on top of the steep snow-capped mountains.
Taking a step back, even if it is not required to be an endless group of palaces, just Odin's Golden Palace is a building that is not supported by the productive forces of the modern world, and belongs to the world's super-spectacle.
It's just that......
is so frustrating that people can't help but wonder if the original intention of the construction and design of this castle is for the Titans to live, and only the kind of huge gods who hold up the stars of the universe on their shoulders can be regarded as in line with the painting style of this castle, right? Otherwise, people of normal body size ...... No, even with the usual size of the Frost Giants, the castle was still too large......
For example, bigger isn't always better, at least on a macro level. If it is only under the uniform scale, the roof is already very spacious if it is three or four meters high. But now the size of this castle is that the frost giants still feel so wide that they are crazy when they live in it, and they wake up from a bed of 50,000 square meters every day, and then it takes half a day to get out of bed, and another half a day to walk to the door of the bedroom......
- But what's the difference between this TM and sleeping in Tiananmen Square!!
Along the way, everyone didn't know how many enemies they had cut down along the way, but most of them were those Heroic Warriors, and the closer they got to the Golden Palace, the higher the level of these fighters. If you can still see four-star Heroic Warriors at the foot of the mountain, and enemies of this level account for most of the numbers, the Heroic Warriors that appear on this halfway up the mountain are all five-star existences.
One or two, six or seven, to a dozen later, and even dozens now, there are so many of these murderous guys, and they are all not afraid of death, they can definitely be put in the Moon World to compete for victory in the Holy Grail War. After all, normally speaking, the intensity of the Holy Grail War in the Moon World is only four to six stars, to be exact, if there are no accidents, it is basically impossible to reach six stars-
It is also a Heroic Spirit, and the Servants summoned during the Holy Grail War are only Servants, not the Heroic Spirits themselves. Because the heroic spirit, that is, the heroes whose great deeds are still celebrated after his death, have become the object of human faith. Normally, the Heroic Spirits, as the guardian force of humanity, only respond to the call of the world. And the only one who can be summoned by humans is the servant.
The essence of the Servant is to copy the information of the Heroic Spirit, but humans cannot extract this information completely, so they can only reflect part of the ability of the Heroic Spirit or one side as much as possible. To make a call, you must use the Holy Grail or something of similar power. Moreover, the Heroic Spirit, who appears as a Servant, is a 'clone' made using the information of the Heroic Spirit's body, and is essentially a replica.
- So these Valhalla's mass-produced Valhalla Immortal warriors are indeed the only Immortal Servants who are qualified to fight against Valhalla.
Such a change has increased the pressure on Yu Yan and the others' team, and it is more and more difficult to walk, if it weren't for the help of Pei Chen and others, I am afraid that if they either go back to the house halfway and leave obediently, there will already be casualties. But even when they walked in front of the gate of the Golden Palace, they were almost at the end of their crossbows-
The Mage Maiden's 'Warmth' passive skill has been constantly revitalizing, but it can't change the fact that her magic is running out. Isayama Huangquan's face was pale, and the slender arms of the Lion King holding the treasure knife were trembling slightly unnaturally, although the spirit beast Chao Honglian did not suffer any blows, but his body shape became more and more illusory, and he struggled back into the sword body unwillingly, which was because the spiritual power was not enough to support continued existence.
Speed and strength are the best, and Ayagozen also has a huge physical exertion, and his white shirt is almost soaked with sweat, and the sideburns on his forehead are also wet on his skin.
The girl with long purple hair just smiled bitterly, feeling that her eyes began to tingle. Even if the physique has been deliberately strengthened, the opening, consumption and power of the Distorted Demon Eye are not only related to the structure of the eyeball, the retina or something, and the continuous use of the all-sweeping spiral power is still too much load for her.
This is her advantage, those eyes have the power to harm all tangible things, and even Pei Chen's priority is not as good as hers, because the monster is far from the point of using its own vision to manipulate the molecular structure of matter. However, this is also her disadvantage, these magic eyes are so powerful that all her other abilities and foundations that cannot keep up with them will become a drag, and she cannot fully exert the power of the distorted magic eye.
"Alright, let's get some rest......
With a flick of his fingers, two blue or brownish yellow rays of light flew to the bodies of several people, adding to them a state that can be called 'the protection of the big demon', Pei Chen turned around and walked towards the huge city gate.
After getting closer, Pei Chen, who was waving his arms to move his muscles and bones and even considering whether to use the original form of the demon body, suddenly had black lines on his head, and he felt that the overflowing interest was hit by the ruthless reality. And after everyone also approached, they found that there were many pits under the huge city gate like a world wall, and the wood slag was exposed, as if it had been bitten through the city gate dozens of meters thick by some fierce beast.
—and the crack in the door didn't close completely, but showed a glaring crack.
"I can't see the scene inside, but there is a very strong death gas leaking out, and all the lives in the castle should be dead......" Stretched out his hand and knocked the giant door unhappily, Pei Chen said inexplicably.
And his knuckles struck on the giant door, and there was a loud sound like a bell, and the majestic waves of qi could be seen to bloom into a ring. The giant gate even made a heavy friction moving sound, pushing back more than ten meters.
It can be seen how much force this guy used to knock seemingly at random, and the insurance door of the bank vault is reinforced and thickened several times, and he may not be able to pierce it with one finger!
Seeing such a situation, the expression of Ayagozen, who was standing in a white shirt, changed slightly, and then he bit his lower lip very unwillingly: "......"
She already has no deep hatred with this monster, but it is inevitable that they will not like each other, and it is manifested that she will never talk to Pei Chen, and she will compete everywhere - although no one notices, because no matter how good she does, the gap between her and Pei Chen is still too big.
Maybe she danced wildly for more than ten seconds, and her superb martial arts and cooperation could easily sweep away a large number of enemies, but it was likely that the monster was just an understatement act that could cut off everyone's heads with a slight wave of her hand.
However, since entering the infinite space, she has gradually figured out the magic of space, and she is also proud of the speed and power she has quickly improved and mastered. If she can return to the troubled times of the Warring States period, she is sure to become the most dazzling and powerful Ji general, and help her sister become the most powerful Ji Daimyo......
However, there was no if, and there was no way for her to go back to that time.
And just today, just now, she saw the terrifying power displayed by the monster lightly, but she suddenly woke up. Because she didn't feel anything before, after all, although the strength of those frost giants was strong, they were also huge and friendless in the same size, so it gave her a very normal feeling.
But now a youkai with the same size standard as her can exert tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of kilograms of terrifying power with a flick of her fingers, which is more ...... It doesn't feel like it's a taste. She subconsciously clenched her fists, her knuckles straining to the point of whiteness.
Pei Chen glanced strangely in the direction of Ayayu, and he noticed the uncalm fluctuations in the mood of the military commander girl.
However, his thought probe only shrouded his teammates in the naturally divergent mental field, always paying attention to a normal threshold, ensuring that they do not have any negative mental state effects, or that they can detect changes at the moment.
But instead of reading the detailed mental activity of his teammates, he didn't know why Ayagozen suddenly had such a strange mood that was so frustrated and inspired his confidence.
Was it stimulated by something? But since he wasn't attacked by something, it was no big deal, and shifting his gaze, Pei Chen looked at the scene inside the doorway.
It was pitch black, and there was a gloomy dead silence through the doorway, and a dark nothingness that seemed to be swallowed up by even light. It was pure darkness, and it was only when it came into contact with the outside world that it was possible to determine the existence of this dark nothingness through its outlines.
The inside of the castle and the inside of the castle are clearly defined as two different conceptual realms, otherwise such a scenario would not have arisen.
No one could see what was in the darkness inside the doorway, only in Pei Chen's left eye, the golden clock was walking rhythmically, and the smooth surface of the golden dial reflected the faint flow of different scenes. However, he also looked like he was struggling to tighten his vague vision, so he frowned and stretched out an arm to reach into it.
His simultaneous presence is now sweeping Valhalla, but not coming to the Golden Palace. It wasn't a hassle to summon another multiple existence, but he always felt that there might be some risks in this way, it seemed that one multiple existence was good, and if there were more, there would be a fatal problem, and his intuition vaguely felt a very strong uneasiness.
“……!!” His arm was grabbed by Kikyo.
"Don't act rashly, explore the path first......," the witch lowered her eyes and whispered, and with a flip of her wrist, a few more paper cranes appeared in her palm. She brought the paper crane to life, and a strong spiritual power attached to it, and the paper crane flew around.
"This ......" Pei Chen said with a wry smile, he already vaguely understood what that darkness was.
"The inside and the outside are not at all on the same spatial level, so we can't see the inside clearly...... Just like the principle that you can't directly see the scene in another world, once your paper crane passes over the other side, you won't find anything, because the connection is cut off, and the spiritual power can't be directly connected across space......"
Glancing at him lightly, Kikyo said without saltiness: "It's better to do it than not to do it......"
"Well, I don't think it's going to do anything anyway......" The youkai shrugged, but took a step back in amusement, not arguing with the shrine maiden any longer. In fact, he also agrees with what Kikyo said, it is better to be prepared than to be unprepared.
But the result is naturally what he said.,After the paper crane entered the space of the doorway,,Lost contact with the witch one after another.,Kikyo frowned and sensed for a long time.,But it couldn't re-establish the connection.,Changed a few other means but the result was the same.。 However, it is certain that the space behind the door is only truncated, and there is no obvious danger or threat.
"So, let's go in directly, the castle of the demon king can't be at the entrance of the novice village, so we can't meet an enemy that we can't fight as soon as we enter the door, there is a threat of that level, and it must be in the core area or in the depths of the castle...... Well, as long as the painting style is normal. Pei Chen said casually and waved his hand, but he still drew his sword and became vigilant, "I'll take the lead, you follow, pay attention to safety." ”
Then in the next moment, he suddenly froze, and then looked in the direction below the foot of the mountain.
"I'll go, and that stinky Taoist priest will come with me again...... It's shameless, let's go quickly, I don't know if there is danger in the Golden Palace, but the things around the guy we followed are definitely in danger!! ”
