August 25, 999th year of the sacred calendar.

It was a day that many people will never forget, and those who remember it will never forget it.

On this day, a new round of the sun appeared over the Colosseum of Jupiter.

Endless light illuminated the center of the entire Grand Arena, and the hot sand battlefield turned into a dazzling golden yellow.

"What's going on?"

"What happened?"

"I can't see anything clearly. One audience member rubbed his eyes stinged by the golden light and said with some pain.

A blue magical barrier quickly appeared, enveloping the hot sand arena and isolating it from the sun-like glow.

But even through the light curtain, the audience can feel the surging energy and supreme majesty.

Standing on the hot sand arena, Constantine felt the most real.

The sky is burning, the earth is burning, endless light is pouring in from all directions, and even the exhaled breath is hot.

The golden glow illuminates the hot sand into a golden yellow, and it seems as if this is the only color left in the whole world.

The unimaginable heat, even hotter than the hottest desert, the scorching heat seemed to penetrate the soul.

Constantine stood in the infinite light, staring at the sun-like thing in the sky, and his heart began to beat violently.

An indescribable, irrepressible fear rose from within him.

Even when he left his homeland at the age of five and fell into the abyss, the most dangerous moment, he was never so afraid as he is now...

"What is this?" said a rare tremor in the boy's voice.

As if sensing his confusion, Roland's calm voice came from the depths of light: "You are very fortunate and unfortunate to be able to see the supreme sword technique of the Divine Sword Style---- [Heavenly Judgment]. ”

Constantine was stunned, "Heavenly Judgment?"

"It doesn't hurt to tell you now, it's the most powerful sword technique I've ever mastered, and even I didn't expect it to be used one day. ”

Roland said, "The first appearance of the Heavenly Judgment was in the Battle of the Dawn a thousand years ago by the greatest epic hero, Paladin. ”

Constantine recalled the statue that sat outside the academy auditorium and had given him an inexplicable sense of fear, "Do you tell me this because in your eyes, you think I am a dead man?"

Roland's voice was indifferent, as if falling from a distant heaven: "When I cast this sword, even I can't be sure whether you live or die, what will greet you will be the judgment of the Lord, and your life and death can only be decided by the Lord." ”

"It's disgusting, I'm tired of hearing it. Constantine said coldly, "If you want to kill me, come directly, let's have a good time." ”

"You have committed the first sin--- [arrogance]. Roland Road. "Bounty hunter, you will pay for your crimes. ”

The golden light became more and more intense, and thousands of golden streamers poured down.

Constantine suddenly jumped up, moved his sword, and the crystal sword slashed towards the sky, and the brilliance bloomed, and the crystal chips flew all over the sky, like goose feathers and snow.

But in this blazing light, where is there a place for anything else?

The crystal shards spewed out by the legendary longsword were engulfed in infinite light, and the boy was slammed back to the earth.

Constantine struggled to his feet, the sun piercing his eyes, and he reached out to cover the top of his head, the action causing a dense blister to erupt on his arm, and the golden light relentlessly scorched his skin.

"That's enough!" Constantine was inexplicably furious, and the magic propped up an aqua blue crystal wall around him.

"This is your second sin, anger. Roland's voice grew more and more ethereal. "The price is that you will lose the freedom to walk. ”

A wave rippled on the surface of the "sun", and the holy light like raindrops sprinkled down, and the [Crystal Coffin] only resisted for less than a few seconds before turning into a wisp of green smoke in the holy light.

Two beams of golden light pierced the boy's ankles, and no blood dripped from them, but Constantine's legs could no longer move.

Constantine's face turned pale, and all the strength in his body seemed to have been drained.

Constantine looked at the sun in the sky, "You are not a god, why should you judge the world in place of the Lord of Radiance? Even if the world is really guilty, it should be the responsibility and judgment of the secular people themselves, why do you need such a high thing as the Lord of Light to interfere?"

"Radiance bestows glory and light on all beings, and leads the lost shepherd out of the dark jungle, and naturally has the right to take back this glory. "Also, your words have amounted to a blasphemy against the brilliance, and this is because of the sin of greed in your heart. ”

Constantine said, "In the seminary, I have studied many of the texts of your church, but I can't find a reason for the light to interfere with the world, the Lord of the Light is a god, in his eyes, all human beings are ants, have you ever seen that humans have good intentions towards ants?"

"The Lord has mercy on the world, and the world looks down on ants because they have greed and arrogance in their hearts, which is the original sin of mankind, but the Lord will not, and the Lord will treat everything fairly according to the divine law of objective reason. ”

Roland said, "The Lord knows all the truth, knows the sins of mankind, and will purify us of our evil deeds with light, before which all living beings are equal, whether they are men or dragons." ”

"What, then, is evil in the eyes of the Lord, what is good, and how is it determined?"

Constantine narrowed his eyes, "As you say, the Lord does not have the original sin of mankind, does not have all the emotions that belong to living beings, he is high, absolutely objective, absolutely rational, then, he must have no human emotions and ethics based on this, in this case, what does he use to judge the good and evil of the world?"

Constantine said coldly, "In the eyes of humans, dragons cannibalism is evil, but in the eyes of dragons, cannibalism is a normal thing, so how does the Lord decide?"

That's why the Lord needs us, the devout believers, to carry out His earthly mission on His behalf. ”

"The Lord of Light cannot judge, so you will judge for him. "Is that so, "is there a difference between good intentions imposed on men and bad intentions?"

Behind the brilliance, Roland fell silent, as if he hadn't figured it out either.

But the light in the sky shines brighter and brighter...

The Holy Light shone on Constantine, passed through his clothes, directly burned his **, and did not sink into his soul.

There was a loud 'boom' in his head, and Constantine felt that there seemed to be an incomparably powerful and noble existence in the dark, opened his eyes slightly, and glanced at him.

The terrifying coercion pressed the boy's body to the sand, and he couldn't move at all, couldn't turn around, and was forced to face the bright sun in the sky with his naked eyes.

The dazzling light reflected his pupils, even if he closed his eyes, it was useless, the holy light ignored the barrier of ** at all, and shone hot and cold in the depths of his soul, as if to evaporate his spirit and flesh.

This is the most terrible form of torture.

No matter how strong the teenager's willpower is, he can't endure such torture.

Finally, his eyes went dark...
