Chapter 073: The Return of the King
The Ark of the Covenant is opened, and the flame descends.
It is both judgment and redemption.
There was a faint loud chant in the void, and a flame of purity, whiter than snow and clouds and whiter than any other, rolled down like a great river hanging upside down from the sky, falling to the ground and flowing along all the passages.
This is the purest holy fire, and the purpose of storing zài is to purify a qiē evil and incinerate a qiē unclean.
The gloomy and dim sky, the blood-withered earth, the filthy and rancid gutters, the rusty and mottled walls, and the miserable monsters that could be found everywhere, were all purified in the flames. Even the ashes that never end drifting away are now gone.
The sky is blue and the earth is clean. But there were no clouds in the sky, and no wind on the ground. There is silence in the four fields, so quiet that it is dead silent, maybe this is the real "Silent Hill".
In this empty and dead world, the adventurers did not care about the injuries on their bodies after being scorched and washed by the aftermath of the Holy Flame, and they all looked forward to it, waiting for the final hint from the Juggernaut. Unfortunately, the ending was destined to disappoint them.
Time passed minute by minute, and there was silence between heaven and earth.
"Failed?" Someone muttered, his face full of bitterness. If even the final judgment can't banish the archdemon Aletha, then there is really no hope for the adventurer
This is a very well-decorated room, a 100-square-meter room, not complicated, but extremely luxurious.
Typical of the ancient French wall decoration, a hand-polished pure copper gilt wall lamp reflects the whole room luxuriously and brightly. The large chandelier on the roof is also polished in pure copper, but it is attached to a variety of crafts such as tin gold and enamel, and there are more than 100 candlesticks on the entire oval chandelier, and the candles with pale golden dragon patterns are lit with soft flames.
In the middle of the room, there is an alchemy magic array of dozens of square meters, and the entire ground is engraved with countless intricate patterns and stripes, so that ordinary people will feel dizzy and vomit and faint after a few more glances.
In the middle of the magic array, there is a Taishi chair. The simple pattern is vivid and full of graceful texture. If you look closely, you will find that these patterns are not hot stamped or carved. Instead, the bark of different colors is sanded and spliced together in the form of pieces, and the splicing is seamless, forming this magnificent and classical wood grain. The back of the chair is deliberately curved, which is very ergonomic, and it is not easy to feel tired even after sitting for a long time.
Of course, these are not the point, the point is on the "person" sitting in the chair.
This is a guy wearing a black trench coat and jeans underneath. The left half of the face is a Peking Opera mask, the right half is a "void mask" representing evil, and the chin is a few short beards with a lot of personality. It wears a top hat on its head, a bright yellow amber ball on its left eye, and a deep, dark pupil on its right. His hands were white and slender, and he was also playing with a metal Rubik's cube in his hand, with a strange and unique shape on the dark side of Lin Xiao.
"Anyway, this is life. The noble luxury in the plain is not comparable to the nouveau riche~~"
The dark side lazily reclined in his chair, opening his mouth to puff out a curling smoke ring. Between the thumb, index and middle finger of his right hand, he pinched a Cuban cigar, a faint red glow that burned evenly.
Take a deep breath and the smoke doesn't go down your throat, but just rolls and coils around the tip of your tongue in your mouth, and then exhales slowly.
The deep bean flavour and the wonderful flavour when burned are unforgettable, and the whole cigar contains creamy, leathery mouthnotes and, where appropriate, is filled with the sweetness of delicious milk chocolate that is irresistible.
"A Buddha-figure like a waste wood can't even command such a simple 'mantra'...... In fact, you just need to believe in yourself. ”
The guy was talking to himself boredly, apparently having been here for a while. When he felt the majestic power after the opening of the Ark of the Covenant, his face finally showed an excited and interesting look and slowly stood up. He waved his hand behind him, and stepped out, the void in front of him as if cut open by scissors, revealing a pitch-black crack that he would submerge into next
The interior of the church, which had been completely filled with holy light, was calm and silent, almost returning to the nothingness of time and space.
And at this moment, a gap was torn open in the void, and the dark side came across the sky.
"Ha, I'll just say, Silent Hill hasn't disappeared, and you little girl won't die!"
It's true that the archdemon Alesa is not dead, but she is not too far from death.
The power of the Ark of the Covenant was the first to bear the brunt of it, even if she was a fallen angel and a high-level demon god in hell, Alesa only had one breath left after being hit like this.
"I originally thought that you would be judged directly, but I didn't think that now I would still have the opportunity to mend the knife, did Lady Luck favor me today?" The dark side was a little ridiculous and talked to itself.
At this moment, Alesa has reached the extreme, and she has been baptized by the Holy Flame head-on, and her body full of thorns and wires has been completely shattered.
In this way, Alesa is estimated to be able to send her back to hell with just one bullet, but the dark side obviously doesn't want to do that
The flames on his body are still burning mercilessly, but the pain of his body and soul being burned out little by little is far less powerful than the hope of "salvation" being shattered......
Regarded as the adoptive mother of hope, betrayed and killed her own redeeming mother with her own hands, Alesa really can't see any light of hope.
Holding a female skeleton in her arms, the demon god with a somewhat dull expression looked at the floor in front of her calmly, and she said softly:
"Ants are ants, just because you also want to take my domain? Fools talk about dreams......"
"Hehe, a fool talking about a dream? I forgot to tell you, I can have the power to make 'dreams come true'. The Dark Side replied nonchalantly.
As he spoke, another person stepped through the crack in the space, and suddenly it was Lin Xiao, who had been missing for a long time.
Alesa finally raised her head, she stared at the two guys in front of her with a smile and a calm expression, and after a long time, she finally squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "Silent Hill is mine, and no one can take it away!" ”
Lin Xiao clasped his hands and nodded lightly:
"That's right, you are a powerful Hell Demon God, who has absorbed the original power of the land of Silent Hill and created this space. Even if I expel you away, there won't be much Silent Hill Origin Power left, and with my ability, I don't have the ability to create the Zào Realm at all. ”
The dark side looked at the demon Alesa in front of him, smiled slightly, showed a mouth full of white teeth, and said:
"So, can't I swallow you?"
"You ......" The flame of faith on the demon Alesa is still not completely extinguished, but compared to before, the strength of the flame has dropped significantly, and the majestic pillar of fire, which was originally several feet high, is only a little close to the flame at this time, and I am afraid that it will not burn for long.
The fire of holiness burns on the power of faith, and once the power of faith as "fuel" is exhausted, the flame will naturally not be able to continue burning. And now it seems that if you want to burn a great demon like Alesa to the ground, the power stored in the Ark of the Covenant is still not enough. When the flames were completely extinguished, it was time for Aretha to regain control of the situation. Although Fang Cai's blow had hit her hard, the anger that had reached the extreme would only make her more dangerous than Fang Cai.
But Lin Xiao didn't look afraid, frustrated, or disappointed because of this. He just smiled and looked at Lori in front of him, and then said lightly:
"Is it over? No, the show is just beginning. ”
"You know what...... Demon Alesa said in a calm tone as she looked at the two in front of her, "I've never had a moment where I've been so angry as I am now, so...... Give me death. ”
At the moment when her voice ended, a large cloud of dense black gas suddenly emanated from her body, the black gas was mixed with scarlet lightning, and the attack of the constantly tumbling demon face was undoubtedly stained to death, and rubbed to hurt.
Demons are demons, and as the hidden boss of this plane, even if Aresha is extremely weak, she is not a being who can be humiliated.
But...... But......
When Lin Xiao snapped his fingers, the demon Alesha's expression changed dramatically in an instant, she trembled violently, and the whole person almost knelt on the ground.
With a wave of her hand angrily, the space was immediately torn apart, and when she looked along the crack, she only saw a huge metal cross, a little girl who looked exactly like the demon Lori, but her face was full of panic and fear, and she was crying helplessly......
This turned out to be ...... It turned out to be the most cruel and ruthless "burning the witch" ritual.
And the girl who was put on the stake was none other than the daughter Sharon that Ruth had been looking for, and the demon Aletha belonged to a clone of kindness and purity, but at this time she was suffering from unspeakable pain.
"Your soul is divided into three, and as long as the good doppelganger who represents 'truth, goodness, and beauty' is alive, not even the fire of judgment caused by the opening of the Ark of the Covenant will kill you. But what about this time? ”
Although Sharon is one-third of the demon's soul, she doesn't have the slightest divine power. And what she is facing is the burning stake and alchemy array that Lin Xiao has arranged for a long time, and there are thousands of Sakura next to her who look at the alchemy that follows the truth of the universe, as long as you pay enough price, even if you are a god, you can refine it.
Therefore, being burned to death by this flame will be her only fate. A fate that has been delayed for thirty-two years.
Under the scorching flames, Sharon was no longer human, and the damage she received was also transmitted to the other clones and bodies.
"You...... You're so ruthless! Demon Aletha stared at the man in front of him with an unchanged expression and a calm face, and said through gritted teeth: "If you do such a cruel and vicious thing, aren't you afraid that your dark side will attack its master?" ”
