854 Rituals (woe)
That night, in the building of the War King's headquarters, the vast majority of the members were not eligible to enter the last floor.
At this time, the supreme powers of the War Kingdom were having a secret conversation.
…… That being said, the only people who actually attended the meeting were Stephanie, Clamie, and a pink-haired woman with a halo on her head and wings.
She was dressed in a rather revealing white suspender shirt, as if the slit of a long skirt randomly enclosed with fabric, and her snow-white thighs were exposed without hesitation. This should have been a rather lustful outfit, but with the woman's solemn expression and the white wings like angels, it made her invisibly a little more holy, just like the legendary apostle who sent the gospel to the gods, just looking at it like this, it will make people feel an urge to kneel down and worship each other.
The woman's name is Gybril.
The commander of the 'Shadow Department' of the War Kingdom, he is also one of the true cores of the War Kingdom.
As for the other two, needless to say, I'm sure you can guess as well.
- Stephanie "The War King". Dora, and 'Speller' Kramy. Jill.
Unlike Stephanie and Clammy, who are standing in the open, although Gypril is in a high position, there are only a few people in the entire war kingdom who know her identity.
After all, with the development of the past hundred years, the War Kingdom has been branded as a human organization in Gensokyo, and if the Shadow Division's existence is suddenly made public now, perhaps without other organizations attacking, the War Kingdom will collapse due to internal problems.
The kingdom of war is the only remaining backing of mankind, just as the world is the last paradise of mankind.
Once you know that this qiē is a lie, then this hundred years of arrogant human beings. Maybe it will really slump.
Of course. For those who can only rely on the human world or the kingdom of war to fake the life and death of the tiger. Not to mention Gybril, neither Stephanie nor Clamie actually cared too much.
The three of them were indeed 'heroes' who saved a certain world in the past, but only because it was their hometown. As they reached the realm of immortality, as they grew older, and as their experiences continued to grow, although they were still ethnically human, Stephanie and Krami became more and more selfish.
Compared to his friends. Other humans are just 'pawns'!
That's right! Chessman!
With the last paradise 'Gensukyo' as a chessboard and all the creatures in this world as chess pieces, then as long as the intersection of Gensokyo and the Void comes once in a thousand years, then the final ritual can begin.
Although Gensokyo is a world located outside the void, Yakumo Murasaki, the creator of Paradise, still used many special props that only exist in the void when building this world.
Even if Yakumo Zitong Guò constantly changes the rules of the world to make Gensokyo more and more independent, there will always be a period of time. Gensokyo's wavelength will coincide exactly with the Void. On that day, the gates that Yakumo Murasaki had set up in all directions of this land would be completely destroyed. Instead, the full moon in the sky was filled with a huge shadow.
The imbalance between space and time will cause a passage across Gensokyo and the Void to appear in the sky.
And when that time comes......
Those whom the trio hope to save will have a chance to be freed from that eternal bondage!
In order to achieve this, what does it matter if the people of Gensokyo are in eternal pain?
Compared to the original world of the jungle, the world where everyone is bound by the god of games and can only act like chess pieces may be the real paradise......
Although I think so, the sin in my heart will not disappear because of such sophistry.
The trio didn't plan to let it go away either......
This is their sin, they are willing to bear it, as for the things that are punished...... 'white' is quite short-sighted, with her 'god' level strength, the entire Gensokyo, no, under the entire void, no one can compete with her.
"And ...... Five days. ”
Clammy reported on the last time, and the trio, who had been working on it for millions of years, definitely didn't want their plans to fall through at the last minute.
So......
"It's time for those hidden pieces to jump out." Stephanie's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, the corners of her mouth slightly curled, and she looked at Gybril, "Pay more attention to the Hakuri Shrine these days, and if necessary, it's okay to use that thing." ”
"Don't worry, I still have a few people in my hands that Yakumo Zi cares about."
As if remembering something, Kibril suddenly snorted and laughed, for the Gensokyo creator who was seriously injured by his sneak attack, Kibril can be said to be quite contemptuous.
The Golden Limit is certainly powerful, but compared to the thing that 'Bai' handed over to the three of them, the strength of the two sides is still too much different.
“…… It's up to you to do it yourself. ”
Seeing that Gypril didn't listen to her words, Stephanie couldn't help but press her head anxiously. She is friends with Clamie and Gybril, but she is not the master and slave, and in the entire void, the only people who can command Gybril are the disappeared master of her creation, and the [] that Gybril later swore allegiance to.
If 'white' and 'he' were here, there would be no problem......
Hehehe, if the two of them were still here, we wouldn't have to work so hard......
Perhaps because of too much pressure, such a thought suddenly flashed through Stephanie's mind.
It's crammy......
"If you want 'Bai' to stay in that place for another 10 million years, just keep the current attitude."
Stephanie has a softer personality, while Clamie has the opposite.
In terms of strength, although Clammy is the lowest of the three, when it comes to resourcefulness, she is a strong person who can fight against [].
She never takes anyone lightly, because only in this way can the possibility of accidents be minimized.
“…… Well, I'll be keeping an eye on that side for the next few days. ”
Maybe it was Kramy's words that played a role, or maybe it was a reaction to his own behavior. In a word. Gypril chose to retreat. As her words fell, she put away the arrogance and contempt on her face, and then, seriousness and caution appeared in her eyes.
"If necessary, I'll lure them to the Dragons and Witches."
"It's for the best."
Clami smiled, and the Gibrielle, who put away his contempt, deserved to be the best right-hand man, and Stephanie, who had been training for thousands of years, already possessed a wisdom close to [].
It works! This time. Absolutely!
If Gypril is here to save her allegiance to her master, and Stephanie is there to help her friend, then Clamie can be said to be repaying the favor.
The girl who once gave up a qiē for her own race, if it weren't for the appearance of [], if it wasn't for the defeat of [], she might have lost her self-esteem as a human being.
- Don't underestimate human beings!
The words spoken by 'he', who is the elder brother, still resounded in Krami's heart even after thousands of years have passed.
From the moment he was defeated by [], although he didn't want to admit it, Krami understood. She...... Finally freed from the heavy shackles, and the one who rescued her. It was the [] that defeated her.
This kindness must be repaid!
There is no girl's love for the first time, and there are no superfluous thoughts, just Clamie, who joined Stephanie and Gypril with a heart of repayment, and has been giving his will for thousands of years.
Stephanie who is closest to [], Clammy who has [] memories, and Gypril who has [] and has no abilities......
These three girls constitute the top of the pyramid of the War Kingdom, and at the same time, they also plan the horror of Gensokyo's destruction...... Plan.
"By the way, what are you going to do with the two little girls who sent the information today?"
As if remembering something, Krami asked suddenly.
"Maalu Belle. Does Hearn still have Usami Renko? Stephanie sighed softly, "If they don't get in our way, let them go." ”
The three of them are not bloodthirsty murderers, and they can also be said to be quite looking forward to the potential of Meili and Lianzi. Of course, this qiē is all acting on the basis of the other party's plan that is not in danger hài to them, once the line is crossed......
"I'll leave the two of them to me." As she spoke, a rather salty smile suddenly appeared on Gybriel's face, "I'm quite curious, the legendary descendant of the blood of the gods. ”
On a certain level, Gibril is indeed the most dangerous of the three, and even if [] is alive, the two of them can only roughly guess what Gibril thinks. The exuberant intellectual curiosity, which was even more terrifying than a black hole, seemed to be the only thing that Gibril had inherited from the person who created it.
Looking at Gibril like this, Stephanie and Clamie suddenly covered their faces helplessly.
"Be careful, don't mess with them." Stephanie carefully instructed.
"Don't worry, I've got it."
Despite this reply, Stephanie and Clammy understood that Gypril was probably not listening to her words.
Forget it, I can only pray that those two little girls can survive a little longer......
Clami looked down and sighed, and when she looked up again, her eyes suddenly sharpened.
"Flandrew. Scarlett ...... I didn't expect the second princess of the Red Devil Pavilion to suddenly appear in the world. ”
Although he used an exclamatory tone, there was no expression on Kramy's face.
There was a crystal ball on the palm of her right hand, and inside the crystal ball, Flandorolu's actions after entering the War King's headquarters were live.
"Looks harmless."
"It's just that it looks harmless." Perhaps because of the recent stress, Stephanie suddenly gave up and hugged her head, "Ahh!!!h Didn't Remilia sign a deal with us? Absolutely non-interference in this incident. ”
"In fact, she did not interfere, and even her sister was only visiting the headquarters of the War Kingdom now."
Clammy sneered, and said in an extremely calm tone.
"Don't forget, if she really violates the gaffe and doesn't need us to do it, someone will naturally clean her up."
In the end, the cold glint in Remilia's eyes was enough to pierce the steel plate, but the other two people present didn't care at all.
"'Hakuri', 'Witch', and 'Dragon', it's really influencing us. Actually, there are only these three. Gypril concluded. 'Hakurei' is not a hassle. Yakumo Purple and Claude standing behind her have corresponding weaknesses, and the real trouble is still the 'witch', and the use of 'dragon'. ”
“…… Haven't found out yet? ”
After a moment of silence, Clamie suddenly asked without a head.
"No, the 'Shadow Ministry' has been infiltrating those two organizations since fifty years ago, but the information really obtained is very hard." Gypril shrugged, "Don't talk about the strength of the 'witch' and 'dragon' leaders. It's not clear who they are. ”
"The members of the 'dragon' are rarely haunted, and it's normal to not know, but the 'witch', is it possible that the leader is hidden among the four great witches?" Stephanie put forward a very likely hypothesis, but the next second this hypothesis was overturned by herself, "No, I have seen the four major witches, although their strength is very special, but when it comes to strength, it is far from it." ”
"Do you want me to do it?"
Clemmy lowered his head and pretended to glance at the inside of the crystal ball. In the eyes blocked by bangs, the flame of excitement burned involuntarily. "I've wanted to play with those four witches for a long time."
"If you're lucky, you'll force out the other party's king." Gypril added.
"Wait, revealing the hole cards now will only make them prepare in advance."
Stephanie didn't mention their identities, but Clamie and Gypril did.
"It's a pity ......"
"But it's just the last few days anyway."
"Tens of millions of years have been waiting, and only five days is nothing at all......"
As the voice of the words gradually subsided, the originally bright light began to dim, and when the light was completely replaced by darkness, a person's soft groan suddenly sounded in the silent room.
"'White', 'empty'...... I miss you......"
Tick......
A drop of transparent liquid slid down and fell to the ground, splashing countless tiny crystalline flowers.
……
On the morning of Hakurei Shrine, as if it was a routine business, someone roared.
"Guan Xiwen, if you dare to take pictures while I'm sleeping again, I'll tear off your wings and braise them!"
"Ahaha, you won't get pregnant if you take a picture, and ~ yes ~ say ~ Reimu do you want me to make the news of your fruit sleeping photos and spread them throughout Gensokyo?"
"You're looking for death!"
As Reimu's words fell, a huge yin-yang jade suddenly fell from the sky, smashing towards Wenwen with unparalleled might.
"Puff - can't hit ~ can't hit ~"
As the fastest monster in Gensokyo, Wenwen faced Reimeng's big move, but there was no fear on her face, and she was even in the mood to make a face at everyone while dodging.
How so? Is it true that if you don't die, you won't die?
Originally, it was just a little ashamed of Reimu, but under Wenwen's mockery, he finally burst out with all his anger, and the original red and white clothes slowly became deeper and darker.
Crimson, bright red, blood red, dark red, dark purple, dark purple...... Black!
When the last of the red is dyed with deep darkness, when the black hair is taken over by paleness, when the spiritual runes that carry with them are defiled by countless filth......
The usually cute Reimu disappeared, and in its place, there was a terrifying existence called "Woe Spirit Dream"!
In the next second, the afterimage left on everyone's retina dissipated, but a cry of pain came from the sky.
"Ahh
"Surrender, surrender, surrender! Reimu, I was wrong~"
Wenwen's shout did not make Reimu stop the actions in her hand, the black spiritual light converged in her hand, and in the next second, the pillar of light that could decompose the silver bit into particles directly smashed into ...... Claude's body.
"What a powerful blow."
Claude clutched his stomach and smiled lightly. If it were normal times, attacking her benefactor like this, Reimu might have screamed and prepared to apologize, but unfortunately, she is not her real self at this moment, and if she must say it, it should be - inner demon.
That's right, it's the demons!
The monster that naturally arose from the depths of a cultivator's heart after reaching the silver rank gathered all the dark sides of a cultivator, and it was another ego, another ...... The self that is unwilling to face.
Everyone has weaknesses, no matter mortals, no matter cultivators, even those immortals, they all have weaknesses of one kind or another.
Weakness in the body, weakness in the spirit, weakness in the heart, weakness in the soul, and...... Obsession weakness.
If these weaknesses, which were not originally taken into account by cultivators, were not restricted, the final result would be that the energy impurities obtained from daily cultivation would converge and finally merge with the weaknesses, giving birth to hateful but helpless inner demons like heavenly demons.
In all fairness, the heart demon is not very powerful, after all, the storage zài that has cultivated to the silver level, even the weakest kind, is already the most powerful storage in the various worlds except for the golden position.
The golden species has long been out of the world, in other words, the silver rank is the limit that ordinary people can reach through cultivation!
Immortals, saints, gods, and the closest to the gods......
For example, the immortals are to the gold species, and the silver species are also given various names, and they who have begun to contact the law, and who have begun to try to use secret arts, to be honest, if they let go of a qiē, it will only be a matter of minutes for the demons to be destroyed.
But......
Not everyone can face their weaknesses.
Many people, after the appearance of the inner demons, can't even give full play to half of their usual strength.
Why is that?
The answer is actually quite simple. The demons are their weakness, the scars that many people do not want to touch and never want to touch.
Joy, sorrow, silence, helplessness, pain, love, hate, hope, despair, light, darkness......
Some people are immersed in the illusion given by the demons in their hearts, wrapped in false happiness until the time of death comes.
Some people are dragged into the boundless abyss by their demons, and the silver bits, who have never even felt death, are finally driven to madness by past mistakes.
Some people......
Only a small number of people are able to truly penetrate a qiē and achieve peace of mind, not to be happy with things, not to be sad about themselves.
Pity...... There are so few such people.
The two eras of the void and the starry sky are combined, close to hundreds of millions of years, and those who have truly reached the perfection of the soul are only tens of thousands, plus the perfection of the body and consciousness, and the continuous death of people in the struggle with others, and finally the only ones who can step into the golden limit are hundreds.
The Seven Saints, the Twelve Kings, Yakumo Murasaki, Lenaronte, Kazami Yuka, Dinisha, and ...... A house.
The story of the post-void era was written by these people, and among them, there were even people who transcended the boundaries of the void and reached the realm of demigods. (To be continued......)
