Chapter 174: The Key

The more you learn about the church, the harder it is for you to see it as a faith. The higher the status, the more dangerous it is.

In fact, since the fall of Acalandu and after the First Demon Tide War, the status of the Church in people's hearts has deteriorated, and the people who really supported the kingdoms of Horutia during the Demon Tide War were actually the Senate. The return of St. Gosya came after the end of the war, and the only two knights of the Church, Maranferin and Severa, were excommunicated.

The former Bishop Chanoya retired, and the aberrant and Grahide were also accused of traitors, so far, all the knights of the church who participated in the Demon Tide War were left with only Gawain.

These things may seem accidental, but together they are suspicious.

Unfortunately, during the Demon Tide War, the three of Aberration, Gawain, and Grahide were not at the top of their strength, and the secrets they could access were really limited, but the Aberrations believed that the Church was hiding a secret, and once the secret was revealed, it was likely to shake the foundation of the Church.

"You can dismiss what I'm saying as nonsense. Distortion said lightly: "I have no proof, not even a way to assert that that the so-called secret really exists." But before I was under the control of the demons, I had a distinct feeling that I, Gawain, and Glahide were already standing in front of a door...... When I regained consciousness, I was at the bottom of Spiral City, and I learned from someone else what had happened and secretly began to plan the escape. ”

It was not easy to escape from that prison, he was surrounded by prisoners of the same level as him, and these people had the same thoughts as him at first, but most of these thoughts were crushed by the wear and tear of many years, and only the aberration persisted to this day.

Not only did he have to familiarize himself with the new body after merging with the monsters in his body, but he also had to reactivate the seal under the suppression of Xia Noya's aura, just these two simple steps that sounded like it had cost him decades, and the more he understood his abilities, the more he was surprised by Xia Noya's strength, if the other party was real, I am afraid that those people who were known as Templars in Herutia would not even be able to use their abilities in front of her.

Therefore, it was clear that a frontal breakout would not work, and after activating the inscription, the distortion was hidden, and he pretended to be weak and powerless, waiting for the day when the opportunity would come. He had been brewing in the dark for another hundred years before he suddenly came up with the idea of abandoning the shell, and theoretically, as long as they crossed the threshold, they could break away from the mortal body and become immortal beings. He vaguely remembered that he had been killed countless times by Gawain and others during the plague years, but after that brief period of darkness, he had awakened in an unknown location, and in order to destroy him, the Church Knights had burned his body and cut off his head.

This series of actions made the aberrant realize that the body he had been caring about was no longer important, and that he could possess anyone at any time as long as he wanted. As long as the plague seed exists, he can be resurrected and reborn without limit, and after crossing that threshold, he seems to have become the plague itself.

The church can kill him, but it can't eliminate the notion of the plague.

After knowing everything, what he had to wait for was an opportunity, he had to rely on the power of the upper class criminals, but those who were timid and fearful, or brave and unscrupulous, naturally could not realize the blueprint in the distorted heart. To escape from prison, it takes not only great strength, but also forbearance and wisdom, and a few years ago, he finally waited for four church knights.

They had a similar reluctance in their hearts, and in their mouths, Distortion heard a not-so-pleasant news.

Branded a traitor, Grahide was assassinated by the head of the Assassins' Guild, Hundred Winds, and died in a foreign land.

The news strengthened his determination to escape, so he spread the seeds of the plague through the insects and animals that had grown in the prison, and got in touch with the four of them.

Both sides were unwilling, and they also had to complete the "great cause", and the contact hit it off, and they successfully escaped according to the hints given to them by the aberration.

"I think you all know what happened next. ”

The only thing that the distortion didn't expect was that Xia Noya would empty the entire bottom of Spiral City for the sake of him as a fugitive, and chased him out alone. Chanoya's arrival disrupted all his plans, and he had to find new allies to achieve his goals.

"Of course, my purpose is not to destroy the Imperial Capital, take revenge on the Church or anything like that, if I want to do this, I will do it on the first day of my arrival, I can spread the plague in an instant, even if Xanoya is standing in front of us at this moment, it will not be able to stop a thought that has come to me. ”

As Aberration said in the Manor, before reaching the realm level, there is a dark abyss, and once you cross this abyss, it means supreme power. Now he doesn't need a sword to kill, and a single thought in his heart can bring havoc to a kingdom.

"Tyr, this is a territory you have not yet set foot in, and only one day when you stand at the height of me at this moment can you understand the power of this wonderful and terrifying coexistence, and I use it to restrain Xanoya, and she and the Holy Maiden will not attack me easily until I detonate the seed of the plague...... But how long can this balance last? Do they still have a means that I have never heard of? I don't want to see the current situation, so I need your help. ”

"Help you fight against the church?"

"No, I need you to help me upset the balance. You should be wary of me, and the reason I came to you is not only because you are in a similar situation to me, but also because I have heard rumors about you, and if you were just a knight who regards everything in the Church as a creed of life, then today's conversation would not have happened. ”

"Tyr, you have always been curious, and you have objected more than once to the practices of the Church for the sake of doubts in your mind. And the reason why I am standing here today is also out of doubt. ”

Does the secret he had conceived really exist?

What's hidden behind that door?

He wanted to know all this, he wanted to know what he had given everything for, and why he had fallen into darkness.

It wasn't hatred that drove him here, it was doubt. Killing can send hatred, but it can't answer questions.

However, the appearance of Xia Noya made the answer farther and farther away, even if he didn't do it, people would gradually lose patience under the threat of the plague, and his "experiment" on Princess Sophia just confirmed this. The aberration failed to find someone to answer his questions, but he did find the key that opened everything.

"Whether I wanted it or not, I was the unforgivable sinner of Holutiah, and from the moment I made my choice, I lost the right to know the truth...... But you're different, you still have that key in your hand. ”

In fact, his purpose has been achieved.

He wanted to plant a seed in the heart of the young man named Tyre-Cyleus, and as long as he was in the church, the seed would one day take root.

Never give up your curiosity, it makes you otherworldly.
