After Balmond and Dino got rid of the blood lords, they continued their way towards the center of the ruins of the city.

Along the way, Bamond didn't say a word, and the scene in front of him had already intersected with what he saw in his dreams, as if what he saw in the black and white world was repeating itself in the form of phantoms around him.

Dino was much more awake than Bamund and could still be distracted to observe the ruins around him. On some of the stone walls, which are still relatively intact, Dino can vaguely see information or geometric figures similar to words, and even some stone carvings that have not been completely destroyed, resembling mysterious objects in various religious legends, of course, these are all carved on the walls, or stone products, which can only be said to be some kind of forgery or record.

"This is it. Bamund looked up at the temple in front of him.

The structure of the temple has a centralized dome that looks like a raised round hat. Viewed from the air, the theme of the temple is circular, with the highest point in the building reaching fifty meters high and the diameter at the top fifty meters. In front of the gate stood seven huge columns, which supported a vast eaves, and the building was made entirely of stone, but strangely enough, it had not been destroyed by time like the rest of the city.

When you get closer, you can see that the portico in front is tall and majestic, and the reliefs around it are gorgeous and magnificent, but the carving is not an angel or a devil, Dino glanced at it hurriedly, and the carving seemed to be a kind of youkai with wings and many eyes.

Two massive stone doors merged together and stood in front of the two of them, blocking the way into the temple.

But with the power of Cesare Balmond. It is more than enough to push open a stone door of this volume.

The force required to move the first inch is the greatest, and once the stone gate is pushed up from a static state, it is relatively less labor-intensive. Bamond didn't open the door completely, he just pushed the door on the left about five meters away. This width is enough to pass several people.

A ray of light shè entered the dark temple, and from the door came a strong smell of rust, and the interior of the rotunda was empty, except for the middle of it, where there was something.

A giant iron coffin.

The metal on the surface of this coffin has turned black, emitting a strong smell, and the light from the gate shè shines on this coffin. Balmond walked straight towards him. When he came to the front of the coffin, I don't know if he was talking to himself, or if he was saying to Dino: "According to the Sky Codex, the door to the Divine Realm is in the center of this temple. Could it be that this coffin ......" is at this moment. The huge iron coffin suddenly made a noise.

A huge object, in such a poorly lit environment, moves without warning, and anyone would instinctively move away from it. Dino subconsciously took a few steps back. But Bamond stood there without moving, and this reaction only showed that this man was strong enough to overcome human instincts, and he was not afraid of the potential threat posed by an unknown thing.

Here's an example. You see a box with "Dangerous Goods" written on it. But if you don't say what it is, then you will have an idea in your head. It could be explosives, poisons, man-eating monsters, good guy cards, and so on...... When you stand in front of the box and the box suddenly moves a few times, your first reaction is definitely that you are about to encounter some kind of damage, and then you will react to protect yourself.

But Bamond wouldn't have reacted like that, because even if a bomb did explode in front of him, he wouldn't care.

In the iron coffin, a voice sounded, in human language, "Is it you who opened the portal?"

Bamond looked calm: "It's me." ”

"By your name, human. ”

"Cesare, Bamond. The tone of his voice when he replied undoubtedly showed that he was a big man, as if all the creatures in this world should have heard his name.

"Balmond......" the voice replied, "are you the sovereign of the human world?"

"It's not. Bamond replied, "But before long I will reign over the world." ”

"I see......," the voice paused, "my name is the cherubim, and I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Can you open the gates of the Garden of Eden?" asked Barmond.

"Yes. The cherubim replied.

"So what are you waiting for?" asked Bamond.

"I am the keeper of the gates of the Garden of Eden, keeping out all creatures that have sin. The cherubim replied, "You can use the key to enter the Hanging Gardens and prove that you have the strength to conquer the entire Fifth Kingdom." But you are still a human being, a slave to sin. ”

"Let me in. Barmond said, "I am God!"

"Obtaining the fruit of the tree of life can indeed free humanity from that weak **, but that does not mean that you will become equal to our generation. The cherubim replied: "Sin will not go away." ”

"It doesn't matter, how are you going to open the door for me?" asked Bamond urgently.

"Never. The cherubim said, "Mankind and our uncivilized brethren are aggressive creatures, cruel and martial, and sin has made you cunning, and if it were not for the short life and fragility of life, you would have become the most terrible of all kingdoms."

It was because of this realization that I entrusted the key to the human safekeeping, and set the spell that only the closest human to the gods could open the gate of the Hanging Garden. The knowledge of stepping into the divine realm in the Sky Code is just a trap, and I wanted the strongest among you to fight each other for this thing, and finally seize the key and come to me......

We will give it death with our own hands. ”

Speaking of this, Bamond's face was not only not half afraid, but the corners of his mouth sneered: "Watch dog...... If you hadn't bitten, maybe I wouldn't have done anything with you......" He was about to step forward to unload the iron coffin, but suddenly found that his body could not move.

An invisible coercion had nailed Balmond's feet to the ground.

"Your Excellency!" Dino exclaimed, he couldn't move anymore, but he was naïve enough to think that the Grand Master wouldn't be hit.

Barmond had no time to care about his head priest. He just silently began to use his energy to find out how the other party did it, and tried to find a way to resolve it.

The huge iron coffin opened a crack at this moment, and a large amount of red blood gushed out from that crack. It was a river of blood, and Bamond was drenched in blood in an instant below his ankle.

A ray of light outside the stone gate, shining on the iron coffin, allowed Bamond to take in the breathtaking sight.

In the widening crevice, a baby's face appeared, and the cherubim curled up like a baby still in its mother's womb. Put your hands on your knees. He was not crouching at the bottom of the coffin, but in a middle-high position.

Bamond thought that the other party could only float at that height by blood, and as the blood flowed out, it should fall slowly. But with the opening of the coffin. The contents were completely revealed, and even Barmond looked shocked. I saw that the inside of the iron coffin was covered with narrow iron needles, dense like a mountain of needles, and there were almost no gaps. And the body of the cherubim was pierced in the coffin by the spikes.

"The strong man of the human world, the only reason why you dare to challenge me is ignorance......" After the iron coffin was opened. Barmond realized that the cherubim did not speak from his mouth. The baby's face. His eyes were closed peacefully, and his lips did not move.

"Even if you can block my movement for the time being. Bamond said, "You are virtuous." And what can you do?"

The cherubim snapped open his eyes: "You'll find out soon." He stretched out his arms, straightened his legs, and grabbed the edges of the iron coffin with both hands, pulling his body away from the long needle.

Another burst of blood gushed out, and the cherubim's body could now be seen, and he was probably a child of five or six years old when he stood, but he should be a child of giants, and the cherubim were still giants to humans.

The skin on his whole body was white and jade-like, and the wounds from the iron needles healed quickly as he stepped out of the iron coffin.

His body looked like a human child, but as soon as he stepped out of the iron coffin, his body began to glow, and four wings quickly spread out behind it, and four faces appeared around the skull.

A coercion spread, and everyone in the Hanging Garden felt a kind of awakening of power, but there would be a difference between strength and weakness due to distance. People know in their hearts that this is not something that a capable person can do, it is a power that they have never been exposed to.

The inner wings of the cherubim's four wings envelop his body, making him appear to be dressed in a robe made of white feathers, with the outer wings still open. Look at his three extra faces, a lion on the left, an eagle on the right, and an adult human face on the back of his head.

"Stop your movements, relying on this eye. As he spoke, the cherubim opened the palm of his right hand slightly, and there was indeed an open human eye in the palm of his hand, which was looking at Balmond.

"I can't stop my thoughts, so I don't allow myself to see more. As he said this, countless eyes appeared one after another on the skin of his body, and except for his four faces, his body was almost covered with human eyes, each of which was apricot-shaped, with black pupils, and no eyelashes or eyelids.

"Hmph...... It's just an ugly monster, how could a god be like you?" Barmond snorted, he gradually adjusted to the power of the other party's gaze, and his body regained some of the ability to move.

"Ugly?" replied the cherubim, "Cesare Barmond, your opinion proves that you are a disgusting creature. The human aesthetic is based on the desire for meat within the race, which is based on the extreme filth. What you define as ugly is aging, obesity, disproportionate body or facial features, skin imperfections. Your standards themselves are a declaration of some underlying rule, aren't they?" The cherubim opened his eyes and looked at Balmond and said, "When this standard is combined with your incorrigible arrogance, the idea is that all creatures that are different from you, or that make you uncomfortable, are ugly. ”

Balmond remained silent, hoping that the cherubim would continue to speak so that he could buy himself more time to resume his actions.

"Your gaze is as one-sided as the ray of light shining from the door. As cherubim spoke, the two huge stone doors of the temple began to move on their own until they were completely opened, and the light from the outside entered and completely illuminated the entire inner space of the temple.

Dino's expression became extremely surprised, because on the four walls of the temple, he saw countless scenes from the human world, and those totems and murals depicted different civilizations of various periods and regions of mankind.

"The Roman Empire built roads to conquer its neighbors, the British Empire ruled the world by building ships, and the Third Reich swept across Europe with its mighty land forces. Gazing at the huge murals on the walls, the cherubim said, "Those who master technology have mastered the world, or in other words, you humans have mastered technology in order to master the world." Aggression and destruction are synonymous with you. Do you feel proud to be part of this race?

Your arrogance is illogical self-deception, you are invaders from the point of view of other creatures, you are destroyers from the point of view of the universe, you are unscrupulously plundering all resources and benefits that are useful to you, even keeping inferior species in captivity for your own consumption, mating without restraint, and constantly multiplying more filthy kind. is clearly doing the most cold-blooded thing in the world, and claims to be the spirit of all things. ”

The cherubim paused, bent down, and faced Balmond closely: "And the most powerful of you, come here, at the feet of my god, and judge a god by his appearance, calling him a monster. On his face, those eyes lit up.

In the pupils of the child cherubim, a light appeared that Cesare Barmond had never seen in his life, and the face of that light did not exist in this world, and there was no word to describe it.

Bamond's pupils, at that moment, also changed to the same face as the other party. In his mind, the dream world of black and white and the real world of color sè coincided 100% at this moment.

"It's ...... What ......" Balmond looked down at his palm: "I...... I am...... What ......"

"See, human, this is my horizon, now...... What is ugly?" asked the cherubim, pausing abruptly.

He felt something, and groaned in his heart, "Yang Jian...... Killed...... Narrator?" The eyes of the cherubim's lion-faced face opened suddenly, and in his vision, the figure of Dark Water appeared.

"The creatures of the Fourth Kingdom are ......," cherubim said to himself, and then fell into thought.

During this time, Dino couldn't move at all, and he whispered to Bamond a few times, but Bamond just turned his back to him, completely motionless, and even the reaction of the energy in his body disappeared, like a doll that had lost consciousness. (To be continued.) )
