Chapter 36: Abandonment of the Mission
"The few remaining fragments of the Godhead are not enough to support their consumption as gods, and because there are no living people left in this world, the fragments cannot be repaired by the power of faith, so they can be said to be dead, and they will never wake up again. ”
"However, gods are not the same as mortals, well, death has a different meaning, they are just asleep now, and their existence has not completely disappeared, so they can still have an impact on the surrounding environment, such as ...... Raise the city from a few hundred meters of sand, and for example, show me a tragedy and have a chat by the way. ”
"In fact, it stands to reason that with their current miserable state, they should not even be able to do these things, all they can do is sleep until the Godhead is completely broken, and then automatically lose the concept of existence, at least if they only have one, this kind of result. ”
"However, they have three. They have gathered what little residual power they have, and they can barely interfere with the outside world, although it is impossible to control the three bodies anymore, but it is still possible to affect us. ”
"The first vision we saw was seen under their influence, but the distance was relatively far away, and the strength was too weakened, so we only saw a little bit, and it didn't focus on me alone. Later, this time it was close enough to see the whole process. ”
"Why are you showing us this?" said Mia, with a gloomy face, "They must have some purpose, right?"
"Of course, they wanted us to help them, and I refused at the time, but they said that helping them is actually helping ourselves, and if we don't help them, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get out of here. ”
"Yikes. Remembering that Shul had always been thoughtful when he mentioned the detachment point in recent days, Saph covered his mouth and exclaimed softly, "No wonder you have to come to the detachment point first to investigate before taking action, and that's why you were sure in advance that there was a problem with the determination of the detachment point?"
"Sort of, though not all. ”
"How do they want us to help?" Mia asked, "Help them retrieve the Godhead Fragment?"
"It's complicated, but it's certainly not about retrieving the fragments, which have been contaminated, and taking them back is just self-destruction, uh, although they are essentially perishing. There are several places where they need our help, and it's not easy. Shuer sighed deeply, rubbed the corner of his forehead and said with a headache, "To be honest, in fact, I originally planned to retreat directly after finding the point of separation, because the difficulties we faced were difficult to estimate. I haven't told you all the time, I want to explain it when I leave and go to a safe environment, but now I can't help it, I can only explain it. ”
"The simplest of the few things is to tear up the agreement between Wendy and the goddess of water, that is, let's give up the mission of this trip. ”
"No, you can't. Kelly subconsciously screamed.
Shure didn't say anything, just stared at her with a cold gaze, Kelly as always, there was no mortal emotion in her expression, the two looked at each other like this, and neither was ready to speak first.
"Eh, is this the legendary tip-of-sight? And it's a mutual tip. "There could be no second one who could say such things to break the deadlock except Moria. Only this stupid deer with a mess of his mind can lose his discipline like this.
"Ahem, ahem, fawn, shut up. At this time, even Xiuer was a little overwhelmed, and couldn't help but choke, "Okay, Kelly, you listen to the reason first, and then discuss whether it's okay or not." ”
"The reason is actually very simple, the goddess of water has been polluted, and her spirit, whether it is her godhead, is an unclean thing after being polluted. When Wendy and the Goddess of Water made an agreement through the air, they must not have known the state of this world, and the pollution of the Great Rift was the deepest pollution, and it could not be seen at all on the surface, so Lord Wendy, like the three local gods, was blinded by the appearance of the Goddess of Water. ”
"Whether it's taking the goddess of water out entirely, or taking the polluted godhead out, it's a heavy blow to Lord Wendy and to Pavadiga, it's good to prepare in advance, if you don't take precautions, hehe, the gods are Pavadiga's strongest line of defense, once the pollution spreads among the gods, you know the consequences. ”
"So, it's Wendy-sund's responsibility to give up the mission, and you don't want Wendy to be called a pavatigar's sinner. ”
This time Kelly finally couldn't stay calm anymore, and the priestess's face was cloudy, almost as wonderful as a palette.
"I know that you never know how to make your own decisions, and in the name of the Lord, always obeying the Lord's will is your way of life. Everyone has the right to decide their own life, so I don't intend to judge you in your lifestyle, but now that Wendy can't guide you, you have to learn to think with your brain, not with your faith, you have to make your own decisions, and you can no longer rely on the gods. ”
"Think about it, I don't want you to give me an answer now, but you have to think everything through before the last moment comes. ”
"So you're going to give up on the mission?" Millita lay on her side with her chin propped up, her white soles stretched out at Mia's legs, occasionally sneaking her toes into the elven mage's thighs twice, each time in exchange for an electric shock or a burn, but she still enjoyed it.
"I didn't say give up, they are also reasonable gods, and they won't let us run in vain. Shur smiled mysteriously, "We can't get the heart of the goddess of water, but they also give compensation, hehe, a fragment of their own godhead." ”
"Huh?" everyone pricked up their ears.
"Give us all the fragments of the three godheads, and once we leave this world, they will really be completely dead. But they want their understanding of the rules and their memories of the world to pass on, so they choose to die. ”
"Although these three are fragments, of course they can't be compared with a complete goddess of water, but they are absolutely safe and leave no hidden dangers, and three for one is not a loss. After taking it out, of course, you have to hand it over to the client, and after adding this weight, Kelly, now you should seriously consider your choice. ”
"You...... Promise them?" Mia asked, hesitantly.
"When we left, we took the sacrament with us. ”
Several shadow chasers couldn't help but feel a chill, and their vague eyes glanced at Xiu'er's luggage, which he had already hinted at very obviously, the three fragments of godheads, which had been transferred by the gods to the stone axe, were right next to everyone.
"Don't worry, they actually ...... too" Halfway through, Mia couldn't say any more, since the other party sent the fragments to the Shadow Chaser, saying that their will didn't follow, it was impossible for a fool to believe it.
"First of all, it's her, not them. Shur shook his head and patiently explained, "Three fragments, but only one consciousness. The two brothers took the initiative to give up their consciousness and use their consciousness to support the sobriety of the earth, so it can only be said that she is her. ”
Of course, this is just speculation, not a basis, the real basis is that the goddess of water snatched every contaminated fragment after being polluted, and if there is still a polluted part, she will not be able to discard it, only the truly unpolluted fragment will be discarded by her as she is now. ”
"So, the fact that they still exist just proves that they are not polluted. ”
"Well, it makes sense. Mia warily glanced at Shuer's package one last time, and although she was still a little uneasy, she really couldn't refute it.
"Don't worry, don't be so nervous. Of course, Shuer knew what her teammates were nervous about, "After leaving the tomb of the gods, she was already extremely weak, and the last bit of consciousness, and maintaining the coexistence of the three fragments in the carrier, couldn't take care of our side at all, so everyone can rest assured." ”
"My initial idea is to accept her first request for the time being, and what I will do in the end depends on whether what she says is true. If it's true, then there's no harm in accepting it. However, if you want to judge the authenticity, you have to wait until you see the other person, but I think she doesn't mind if we go ......."
"Wait, Boss, you wait. "If I'm not mistaken, you're saying that we still have to take the initiative to face a complete god, and a tainted god?"
"I don't want to, but there is no other way, you can see it, the exit is hidden, according to the earth, it is the goddess of water who hides it, and if you want to go home, you can only go to see her. ”
"What if the earth is lying, what if it's not the water but the earth that hides the exit?" Mia winked at her backpack, "it's not impossible that she'll cut us off in order to get us to agree to her request." ”
"That's right, but it's meaningless, because if it's really her own hiding, then we can only accept her request, and the second thing she wants us to do is to face the goddess of water. ”
"What are you going to do, to avenge them?"
"No, go and help the Goddess of Water and end this fight. ”
"What do you mean?" It wasn't just the mountain elves who didn't understand, everyone was confused, "What fight?"
"The Great Rift has not been completely closed, the Goddess of Water is still fighting, and the Earth wants us to help her end the battle, and by the way, help her crazy spirit rest in peace. ”
"Eh, what's going on, the Great Rift hasn't closed yet, doesn't that mean we're still going to have a lot of Void Spirits to face?" Moria took a mouthful of hay, a snack she had brought from Pavadiga, "and isn't she already tainted? Why do you continue to fight the Great Rift?"
"What do you think is being polluted? To make a god who guards the world completely degenerate to the dark side, and suddenly wants to destroy the world? How can there be such a thing? ”
