Chapter 306: The Truth
It would take half a month to travel from Beit to the Bracaton Plains as a whole army, and the cavalry could shorten the time to a week, but if it was Lear himself, it would only take three days to use flying thaumaturgy for the whole journey.
However, he did not step out of the country.
For on the third day after he had burned the Beit League, when all his troops had finished recuperating and were about to march towards the plains of Brakkaton, two men stopped him.
There were only two people, but they were like two insurmountable mountains in front of the tens of thousands of troops, obviously the two people who were wrapped in pitch-black cloaks had no breath on their bodies, but the Spartacus warriors, who had always been unruly, felt the coercion of the Yuanyue Mountain, and the whole army was quietly dropped without the lord's order.
"Thanatos. "Jag. ”
Without waiting for Lear to ask, the two of them introduced themselves first, and did not deliberately raise their voices, but when these two names fell in front of the Spartacus army, the effect was tantamount to a bolt from the blue.
A god of nightmares, a barbarian ancestor.
"Doppelganger?"
Although Lear's heart was not at peace, he still tried his best to maintain restraint, even if he could understand the arrival of Thanatos, but it was strange to look at the fact that he was in the company of the ancestors of the barbarians thousands of years ago, and the timing of Thanatos's appearance was obviously too early.
"Doppelganger. ”
Thanatos said lightly, while Jag remained silent.
"So, you're not here to trouble me?"
Although he had already guessed that the possibility of the other party's direct ontology coming was not very large, Lear was also relieved after receiving a positive answer, and judging from the fact that the other party took the lead in revealing his identity, it seemed that he did not make a special trip to provoke a war.
After all, it was unimaginable to face a clone of a medium-level god god and a barbarian ancestor clone who didn't know the depth at the same time.
"It depends on the outcome of our final conversation, but until then we will exercise some restraint. ”
It was still Thanatos who spoke, which made Jagger look like he was only playing the role of a guard, but Lear knew that this was not the case, and the ancestor who could single-handedly create a powerful barbarian empire that had roasted the continent for six hundred years could not be driven by a mere god of moderate divine power.
"Let's get started. Lear said solemnly.
In fact, Lear already had a rough guess about what Tanatos and Jagg wanted to talk to him, and if that was the case, then the conversation was destined to end unhappily, but if he could detect some of the enemy's cards and intentions to the greatest extent before making a big move, he would have no reason to refuse this conversation.
A gray aperture of light suddenly spread rapidly around Tanatos, eventually encompassing Jag, Lear, and Kunsha around him, forming a foamy reticle.
Lear tried to feel the gray light as it flowed through his body, and found that they were not offensive or restrictive, except that they had the effect of blocking out sound and sight, and he didn't care.
Obviously, the next conversation should not be heard by ordinary warriors, and the reason why Kunsha was included was because of Tanatos's recognition of her strength.
"We don't have to be enemies. Without any further ado, Thanatos said straight to the point, and Lear only raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, he knew that the other party's words were not finished.
"I don't know where you come from, but one thing is for sure, you don't belong to this world, although you also speak the language of this world and use the power of this world, but the essence of your soul is incompatible with the laws of this world, you are an outsider. ”
The whole sentence Thanatos is not asking a question, but using a very affirmative sentence, as if what he is proclaiming is the absolute truth.
"So what?"
Lear was not surprised that Tanatos could perceive the essence of his own soul, although the other party's godhead was a nightmare, but he also coveted the soul law for thousands of years, it was not surprising that he had such an ability.
"So you are ignorant of this world, and this world is foreign to you, and I can forgive you for your previous offenses against me or even for the past, as long as you stop blaspheming. ”
"Is this an admonition, or a warning?" If someone else spoke to him like this, Lear was afraid that he would immediately go back, but he didn't want the conversation to collapse immediately, so he could only choose to put up with the other party's arrogant arrogance for the time being.
"You can think of it as exhortation, or you can think of both, it means nothing to me except the result, of course I will tell you the truth that this world has been hidden for thousands of years, but I hope you will be able to make a wise decision later. ”
Thanatos's tone was still sad and joyless, but no matter how much he tried to show gentleness, the so-called divine power that had been formed from above all the year round filled his words with a strong smell of charity, which he himself did not perceive.
"I want to hear about it. ”
Although he had come across some hidden historical materials from Stephen's library, and had a vague outline of the 'War of Elders' that broke out a thousand years ago, he still didn't know anything about the details and what Lear looked like like Croney a thousand years ago, so when Tanatos made this suggestion, Lear immediately accepted it.
The significance of exploring the blank history is by no means comparable to the victory of one or two battles, not to mention that the storyteller is a god with an almost infinite life, and the precious secrets that are drowned in the long river of history are certainly more real than the bards sing.
"A thousand years ago, I was just a minor god who had just condensed the Godhead, and I hadn't even risen to my own kingdom, but do you know that five thousand years ago, there were no gods in this world, let alone condensing the Godhead and rising to the kingdom of God, even igniting the divine fire would suffer from it was a luxury. ”
When Tanatos began to recount the past thousands of years ago, there was a rare sense of vicissitudes in his tone, and even the eyes of the barbarian ancestor Jag gathered a different brilliance, and it was obvious that he was also extremely interested in that blank history.
"You just said that you just lit the divine fire a thousand years ago?"
Lear's attention, however, was another detail.
"Yes, is it completely contrary to what you know?"
Looking at Lear's slightly surprised expression, Tanatos seemed a little satisfied, but he didn't continue to sell off.
"In the few historical records that exist on this continent, that war is described as a battle of light by the angels of justice to launch revenge on the evil me, but in the end it developed into a world war that swept the entire divine realm and the ground, and now that you know the truth, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"In fact, although I participated in the whole war, my role in that devastating catastrophe was almost the same as that of an observer, and it is not wrong that the initiator of the war was the angel under the seat of Addis, but it was not me, or not just me, but also the goddess of the forest, the goddess of luck, the goddess of life and hunt, and Hades, the king of Hades. ”
Lear's brow furrowed deeply, and the sheer amount of information contained in Tanatos' words made him a little confused for a moment, including the Kunsha beside him.
"What is it called not you and not only you, and what is the true intention of the war of the gods?"
After a brief moment of thought, Lear looked up.
"The god of death a thousand years ago was indeed Taratos, he was a god with powerful divine powers, and together with Hades, the king of Hades, he shared the rules of the soul, and it was indeed the faceless under his command who took the lead in the war with Ardis, but he was finally defeated in the wave of war and crashed, I took the opportunity to steal a part of his godhead and became the new Grim Reaper and became the new Thanatos, so it is me and not me who should fight. ”
"As for the cause of the war, it was not the hatred between the two powerful gods at all, but because Thanatos did something that all the gods at that time could not tolerate and dragged several other gods into the water, which caused Ragnarok to sweep the entire divine realm. ”
"What did he do?"
Lear goes on to ask if it doesn't matter who Thanatos' real name is compared to the truth of the war at the time.
The name was just a code name for the gods, and he had forgotten his original name for thousands of years.
"That's what you're doing right now. ”
Tanatos replied in a deep voice.
"As I said earlier, five thousand years ago, there were no gods in this world at all, all the rules were controlled by one will, if someone wanted to ignite the divine fire to challenge the rules, they would immediately suffer unimaginable doom, if only that, then that's it, but that will is still an existence with a strong desire to control, it made rules for all living beings and must be implemented according to its rules, if the slightest offense will immediately have a disaster. ”
At this point, Tanatoston paused, although he had not lived through that period, the memories he had inherited from the previous Grim Reaper still caused him to have noticeable mood swings when he spoke.
Anger, and palpitations.
"Until two thousand years and five hundred years ago, the strong people suddenly found that the terrifying will that had been shrouded in the sky of this world was weakening little by little, and the executors of divine punishment had not appeared for a long time, and after another hundred years, when it was finally determined that the will that shrouded in the sky of the world was close to dissipating, someone tried to ignite the divine fire, what people didn't expect was that he actually succeeded once, this person's name is Addis. ”
