The darkness gradually soaked the night, the stars shone brightly, and the dreadnought fortress was like a huge mountain peak that stretched for more than ten miles, stretching under the cold moonlight, majestically guarding the frontier of the earth.

With the moon hanging high in the sky, Casper's figure blocked the moonlight, like a giant supporting the entire sky, the shadow under his feet was infinitely stretched forward, and the voice seemed to be stretched into the distance:

"Everything you see is the ether, and the deeper you go into its core essence, the more delicate and precise the natural energy that can be manipulated, and when you can master the ether particles, you can transcend humanity itself. ”

"Aether...... particles?"

"All the pictures I have shown you are the etheric realm as I understand it, from shallow to deep, and the last and final scene is the moment when you go deep into the ether particles. ”

Casper's eyes lit up with white flames again, and he handed his right hand in front of the black-haired knight, and in just an instant, his right hand, which was originally composed of flesh and blood, was transformed into an energy crystal that revealed a clear shimmer:

"This is the result of going deep into the aether particles, which is more powerful than the soul materialization pursued by the mages of the Academy, and I have managed to reach the apex of knightly power through this, so I named it - Perfect Body. ”

“...... This is the perfect body?"

The black-haired knight held back the dizziness, forcibly stood up, walked in front of the red-haired coach, looked at the shiny crystal right hand, and said excitedly with a look of longing and reverence in his eyes:

"You have transcended the inherent realm of knighthood and forged a path of your own. ”

"No, this was when I was in the process of being reborn. After voluntarily giving up becoming a demon god. Forced to make a helpless choice. Casper winked his eyes at him. grinning and said:

"But now it seems that I may be right. ”

"Demon God, you just mentioned the Demon God twice, and what do you mean by reincarnation?"

Yare asked confusedly, since he had seen the true identity of Archduke Cromwell, he had also read a lot of information on this subject, and he had never heard of the information on the demon god and reincarnation.

"This is a material that only fifth-order knights can have permission to unlock. Casper raised an eyebrow and said with a solemn expression.

"If you don't say it, you won't say it......"

Just when the black-haired knight showed a sneering look. When he said that he would give up the question, the red-haired coach suddenly changed his words: "But it's nothing to tell you now, I can feel that you are not far from entering this stage." ”

"......" Yalei was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"Boy, what do you think is the core of knightly power?" Casper asked a strange question.

"Vindictive, of course. ”

The standard answer, however, is wrong. He exhaled a little heavily, and it turned into a white mist in the cold wind of the night:

"The life force is subordinate to the body, the spiritual power comes from the soul, and the will is the product of the harmonious operation of the soul and the body. Ordinary people have a weak will, so they can't combine life force with spirit. A lifetime of mortality. If someone sharpens both the physical and mental forces to the limit, they can channel the life force with the spirit and turn it into a force that rejects all non-self, a process that we call igniting the fighting spirit. ”

"You mean that will is the core of a warrior's strength?" the black-haired knight suddenly realized.

This is what it means, no matter how much the spirit and body are tempered, or even if both are strong to the limit at the same time, as long as there is no heart that burns life, it is impossible to produce fighting spirit. ”

Casper was very satisfied with his current understanding, and sure enough, he was not wrong, of course, there was a reason for his own teaching.

"But...... Does this have anything to do with the Demon God and the reincarnation?"

"Of course it does!"

The red-haired boss glared at Yalei sternly, watched the latter obediently shut his mouth, and then continued:

"The embodiment of will is vindictiveness, if you want to understand the character of a knight, then by observing his vindictive ability, you can directly guess seven, seven, eight, eight. There may be people who are good at deceiving themselves, but at the moment when life is burning, no one can deceive their hearts. In that case, boy, have you ever considered the question of what will happen when your will grows to a critical point with your fighting spirit?"

"What will happen?" the black-haired knight didn't dare to guess, so he had to ask for advice directly.

"You will begin to deify, to be precise, your personality will be deified. Casper said in a sad tone with a hint of lingering pain on his face:

"And this process is absolutely irreversible, as long as you still want to become strong, it is impossible to maintain a mortal heart. The more power you have, the more you have endless knowledge...... It makes people choose the narrow path even more, and in the end, they don't even have the path they can choose. Can you imagine what that feels like?"

"......" Areh shook his head a little dazedly, he had never thought of this question, and he had never thought about it.

"I've felt it intuitively, do you want to hear it?" Before the black-haired knight could reply, Casper seemed to sink completely into his memory, and said to himself:

"During that time, you don't feel happy or hurt because you don't need to, you don't have appetite or sexual desire, because you don't need to, you don't care about people or things around you, because you don't need to. The world is cold, everything is cold, and only oneself is alive. ”

Listening to the other party's interpretation of the apotheosis state, the black-haired knight couldn't help but shudder, if he lost interest in everything around him, then what was the point of living as a person.

Or is that still human?

"You look normal now, huh?" he couldn't help but say.

"That's how we circumvent it. Casper pointed to his chest and said:

"We have our own personality and we have also retained the Godhead, and both exist in this body at the same time, a state that we call the oneness of man and God. ”

"Can it solve the problem?"

Yalei always felt that this method was very unreliable, how could the personality be able to fight over the godhead, especially when the godhead would continue to strengthen as he became stronger.

"It's barely a part of the solution, in this state, their hearts are no different from normal people. However, if it is to fight, the seventh-order knight needs to temporarily dissolve his personality into the godhead before he can manipulate his true body to fight. In this case, if the state of human and god is still maintained, then the knight will easily lose control and even lose his humanity. ”

"Then what should I do? Can I still fight? Can't I just use my personality to manipulate my real body?"

The black-haired knight hurriedly threw out three questions in a row, and he suddenly felt that the knight was so aggrieved, how could it be so troublesome to even fight with all his strength in the end.

"Do you think ants can push elephants? Manipulating the body of a god with human consciousness will be swallowed up by the instinctive consciousness of the god body in an instant, which is much more serious than the loss of control of the godhead. ”

"What then?" Areh was dumbfounded.

This requires finding a delicate balance, using the personality to pry the Godhead, and using the Godhead to manipulate the real body, this delicate balance state, we call it - man-God suppression. By the way, Ebenezer has been able to use it proficiently for a long time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a genius, and Olylia is a little closer, but has also adapted to this state in recent times. ”

"It's complicated...... It always feels like walking a tightrope. ”

"Yes, every time they fight with all their might, they walk a tightrope. Casper replied without hesitation.

"But...... You still haven't told me what reincarnation is or what a demon god is?"

"Don't be in a hurry!"

The red-haired coach glanced at the other party unhappily, it was rare for him to say it so happily once, why didn't this kid know how to cooperate with him.

"Say, speak slowly, I'll listen to it. The black-haired knight said flatteringly.

"By now, do you know what the specific definition of apotheosis is?" Casper asked, deliberately embarrassed.

"I don't know ......"

"It is the purest, most perfect, and most ideal posture of the individual itself, and in the process of your soul and body becoming stronger and stronger, the imprint from the depths of your soul will gradually awaken, this is the power of origin that only a fifth-order knight can master, a power that determines your essence.

In this life, any decision made by human beings has a lot to do with the origin, and it can never be resisted or shaken off. Origin is a prototype of the knight's ideal posture, a seed of destiny, and it is impossible to determine what the result will eventually bring, but it is definitely closely related to the origin. ”

"Origin determines ideal ......"

Yalei chuckled in his heart, his face turned from white to blue, and finally said with a surprised face:

"Your ideal posture...... Is it a demon god?"

"Exactly. Casper had a rare fragile expression on his face, and he looked at his hands sluggishly, and said in a trembling voice:

"No one knows myself better than me, no one knows how terrible it is, and I was fighting against the destructive rush every moment...... My true body, my Godhead, it has a heart and a power to destroy this world...... I didn't have the confidence to control it. ”

"So you gave up on becoming a demon god......"

"That's right, becoming the ultimate lifeform requires an important ritual to be reborn, and that is the only chance to preserve my personality and godhead, and I thought about it for a long time, and finally made up my mind to destroy my godhead......"

"That's reincarnation?"

Casper nodded, his face calmed back, and he looked at him indifferently:

"Only you and I know about this now, even Ebenezer has been kept in the dark, and that idiot still thinks that I am obsessed with the aether and will give up the power of my true body. ”

"I'm not going to tell anyone!" said Yare, covering his mouth, indicating that he would not leak a word. (To be continued......)
