Chapter 59: Never Give Up
"But that solution is like getting you to catch up with the sand cat. ”
The goddess's face was full of mockery: "As long as the divinity in Magellan is restored, science will wake up." ”
"I was able to catch up with the sand cats. ”
Dantès never doubted herself, she was one of the most devout believers in science, having accomplished countless impossible tasks for the Holy See.
"You think the divine power of science will allow you to catch up with the sand cat?" the goddess even laughed directly, "Ah, of course, you haven't tried. ”
"And what about the sacrifice to Magellan?"
Dantès remembered her failures, that Magellan was by no means an easy person to deal with, and that the conditions of sacrifice were too harsh.
"Do you think that an ordinary sacrifice can take away divinity from Magellan?" Isitar did not change his sarcastic attitude from the beginning, "no, he must know what this sacrifice is for, what will happen when it is completed, and it must be completely voluntary, and even if these conditions are met, a whole complex and lengthy ritual must be completed for the sacrifice to be successful." ”
"I'll finish the sacrifice ......"
"You?" the goddess unceremoniously interrupted Dantès, "no, the sacrifice can only be done by Magellan himself, which is why you have always failed before. Only Magellan and the woman next to him in the world know what will happen when science is restored to wholeness, and you don't even know what you're doing, and you want to complete the sacrifice?"
"I know what I'm doing. ”
Dantès's insistence almost turned into unjustified stubbornness, but she was always the same in her heart, and there was never a trace of confusion.
"Put away your little tricks, from the very beginning, I don't mind telling you all the things you need to do to complete the sacrifice," Isitar didn't have the power to see through people's hearts, but as a god of wisdom, she could do many things that humans couldn't imagine, "That set of rituals, even I've never seen before." Do you think it's so easy to strip divinity from an being? Even the most powerful magic can't touch divinity, not even supernatural power, which is the top and most powerful force in the world. ”
"But Magellan ......"
"It wasn't Magellan who stripped that part of divinity from science, he just ended up with divinity. The way the goddess spoke was almost unreasonable, but strangely, not obnoxious, "Let me tell you what the process was, and perhaps then you can understand how difficult it can be to sacrifice the opposite." ”
Dantès never imagined that the existence of science would come from such a complex process, nor did he think that the first pope would do such a terrible thing.
It's hard to say what mood she was in after listening to the goddess, but in the end, Dantès was still not confused.
"I will finish the sacrifice. ”
For the first time, the goddess put away her mocking expression, she looked at Dantes, and finally let out a sigh.
"Maybe you'll succeed. ”
"Even you don't know how to strip divinity, do you?"
"It takes a real miracle," Isitar smiled and shook his head, "Sometimes, the gods have to learn to admit that they are not destined to work miracles......"
"It's a pity. ”
Dantès decided to end the conversation, knowing that the countess would be there soon.
"But humans can. ”
The goddess left these words and disappeared into the darkness.
"Dantès?"
The countess's voice came from the darkness, echoing in the small space, and some subtle power quietly receded like a tide.
"I'm here. ”
The countess quickly cut through the darkness, and she came to Dantès, placing her hand on her shoulder.
Then Dantès turned around, revealing tears on his face.
"It's all right......"
......
The burning blood is receding.
Yuan Chi felt very bad.
Blood Burning is essentially a poison, and although the Golden Bloodline is strong enough to counteract most of the negative effects, so that Yuan Chi will not die at the end of Blood Burning like other demons, his current state is not very good.
It's hard to describe that feeling, probably the fear and emptiness when the rage subsides can be compared to one-ten-thousandth of the pain Yuan Chi felt at this time, plus the body aches after losing his strength.
Barely able to stand again, he wanted to keep fighting, only to find himself weakening at an alarming rate, unable to lift his arms.
Magellan stood aside and watched everything happen, starting from the fading of the blood mist until Yuan Chi gave up completely.
The more powerful the blood-burning power, the more terrifying and lasting its negative effects become.
At least Yuan Chi is afraid that he will lie motionless here for a long time.
Magellan turned around and prepared to leave, he didn't want to continue wasting time here.
The Countess should have dealt with the roaring beast, but Magellan never thought that there would be a beast waiting for them in front of the goddess's temple, and although this was nonsense, Magellan began to worry if the Countess was in trouble with something else.
Crossing the dunes, Magellan climbed up the garden and saw a huge beast in front of the temple door.
The monster had lost consciousness, and it was clear that the Countess was far stronger than Magellan had thought.
Walking through the temple gates, at last, Magellan saw the countess in the dark.
"You don't look good. ”
Magellan smiled helplessly. He knew that he might not look good, covered in sand and disgraced, after all, the blood-burning demons were enough to cause trouble for anyone.
"Luckily, I'm not hurt. ”
"The goddess is not here," the countess gave Magellan bad news, "there is only a third magic circle here." ”
"......"
Magellan was a bit surprised, after all, this was already the top level of the garden, and there was no water lifting system that needed to be activated.
He finally did not say anything, but took the monocle that the countess had given him from his bosom and put them back on.
"What is this?"
Magellan was completely unable to comprehend the lines in the third phantus, which looked completely different from the first, and had almost no logic at all.
"The goddess's magic array is not necessarily used to activate the water lifting system," the countess said, raising the magic lamp in her hand, the blue light illuminated the dark temple, but it failed to light up what the countess wanted, the goddess didn't seem to be here at all, "and if the goddess is not here, then she is probably in the ......"
"What?" Magellan somewhat understood what the countess was trying to say, but he thought it might not be possible, "The temple of the Round Tower?"
"What if that's the case?" the countess held up her finger to draw something in the void, and then there was something more in the shadow in front of Magellan's eyes, "it's the only possibility. ”
"Round Tower ......"
