201, Heartbroken Amon
Amundin sat in the huge cave and was talking to George and the others through the avatar of the god in the city of Salem. As he thought of Mary, something suddenly flew out of his bosom and hung in the air with a soft glow. This is an earth pupil that can be used to record all kinds of information after being refined by divine magic.
Amon has been carrying this Divine Stone with him for several years. Thinking that he was the leader of the guard team of the Temple of Isis Archives, a rank 6 warrior, Maria decided to send him deep into the Duc Plains to investigate the terrain after the flood receded. Before leaving, Maria gave him this special hedron and told him that there was some kind of information in it, and that he might see it in the future.
Amon hadn't read anything in the pupil of the earth at the time, and at first he thought it was because his realm wasn't enough. But then he already had the ninth-level achievement of Origin Power, and he became a god-like existence in the human world, but he still couldn't read any information. However, he could tell that this divine stone had been specially processed and contained some kind of subtle induction, which was the secret magic of Isis's guardian saintess, and Amon didn't know much about it.
Today, the stone suddenly flew out of its arms and hung in the air to excite, and a blurred light and shadow first appeared in the belly of the mountain, and Mary's voice came from the light and shadow: "Amun, I have something to say to you, call Gabriel as well." β
Amon reacted to what was going on with this divine stone in an instant, it did not record some kind of information, but poured mana to refine a sensing divine magic array with secret divine magic, which was used to transmit information from a long distance. This transmission is one-way, and Mary can send the message she wants to tell him to Amun, but Amun can only see and hear, but cannot say anything to Mary.
Theoretically, the distance it transmits is infinite, but in practice it is not without limitations, which is related to the mana poured into the refining process and the achievements of the caster himself. If Maria can sense its presence, she can teleport the message, but only once, when the mana poured into the stone is exhausted, the teleportation will end, and the stone will be destroyed.
Mary gave Amon this sacred stone as a reward for his mission, and he only said one sentence at that time, and never mentioned it again, nor did he ask Amon if he still kept this divine stone or had used it for other purposes?
Amun, who was in shock, forgot for a moment that he was talking to George and the others, opened his eyes in the belly of the mountain and shouted Gabriel, and the voice passed through the mountain wall and spread throughout the Garden of Eden, and then he didn't have the heart to say anything more, he stood up and looked nervously at the light and shadow from the pupil of the earth, and he didn't even notice Gabriel walking into the mountainside.
Amon saw Mary again, she turned out to be the girl he remembered, without a golden crown or a scepter, standing in the light and shadow in a long white dress and whispering: "Amon, I am Echo." Over the years, there have been some things that I have not been able to say to you, and when I can actually say them, maybe we will never see each other again, maybe everything has changed, maybe I will be there for you.
None of this is known, I can't imagine it, so I left you this Earth Pupil, which allows you to see me and hear me from afar.
When this day really comes, I didn't expect it to end like this, maybe you will blame me for being so cruel and let you see all this with your own eyes? This is my destination, my faith has never wavered, my faith has always been pure, but I have my struggles and aspirations, just as you have your struggles and desires.
I know what you're doing, and I know what you're going to have to face sooner or later, and that's the last testimony I can leave for you. I don't know whether to say regret or luck in this life, my heart is just like your heart, and I don't have to open my mouth anymore. β
After she finished speaking, the scene in the light and shadow changed, and Mary was wearing a golden crown and holding a scepter, praying to the goddess Isis in the temple, and suddenly Seth's voice was heard in the void: "Mary, your prayer has touched the gods, and you will listen to the oracle of the archangel......"
This is what happened three months ago, and Mary used the Message Divine Technique to recreate this scene and send it to Amun's eyes. After that conversation, I only heard Seth say coldly: "I am only here today to tell you about the oracle that will come, not to ask you to agree, three months later, all the city-states of the Eju Empire will send an oracle, and the Holy Maiden of Mary will marry Pharaoh according to the guidance of the gods and become the chief high priest of the empire, symbolizing the final fusion of the divine power and the royal power of the upper and lower Eju."
Whether you like it or not, someone will announce it for you. Even if you die, someone will dress up as you and complete the ritual as you. This story is recorded in the official annals of the Eju Empire, and in the Psalms sung in the Temple. You prepare well, and I will come back to you in three months, whether you will do it voluntarily or let me do it for you, it makes no difference for the Eju Empire. β
The light from the pupil of the earth dimmed, and then it became bright again, and the light and shadow emitted became another scene, which was what was happening in the distant temple of Isis at this momentβMary stood in the main temple, wearing a long white dress without a golden crown, but took out the scepter of the Holy Maiden, and the tears of the gods at the top of the scepter had a faint golden light. There was not a single retinue around, and everyone had already been sent away by the holy woman.
At this time, the chief great warrior of the temple, Long Teng, walked in and saluted: "Holy Maiden, according to your orders, you have already let everyone leave this hall three miles away, and ordered the Isis Legion to be under martial law. This is not a small movement, is it really an edict from the gods? Why did the gods want you to do this, all the high priests are asking. β
Mary replied lightly: "There will be a miracle here today, the oracle that Archangel Seth has sent down three months ago. I order everyone to withdraw from this temple three miles away, for reasons of their own, and it must be strictly enforced. Dragon Warrior, you have to remember that no one is allowed to disobey the order, and you should also leave quickly and go three miles away. β
Long Teng frowned slightly: "But when are we going to wait?"
Mary: "When the time comes, you will understand, and you will be bound to wait three miles away, waiting for a miracle! Whoever dares to disobey the order to approach the temple will be arrested immediately on the spot, regardless of his identity, and what will be done afterwards." β
The always gentle Holy Maiden gave such a resolute order, which had an awe-inspiring majesty, and Long Teng couldn't ask questions, so he had to take the order and leave. Soon after he left, Seth's voice rang out in the temple: "Maria, I'm coming today to ask if you've made your decision. And for what are you expelling everyone so far? No one will hear our conversations. β
Mary did not look at the place where the voice came, but looked at the idol of Isis in front of her and replied calmly, "You told me that you are the chief of the angels and Seth." But I just heard a voice, and you can't prove yourself. β
Seth's voice was visibly gloomy: "You are a great magician and the guardian saint of the Temple of Isis, you should be able to tell who I am!"
Maria shook her head slightly, "I have never seen Seth, but I have heard your voice, and I don't know who spoke to me in Seth's voice. Don't forget, last time you claimed that you could also speak in the voice of the goddess Isis, and if you really want to convey the oracle to me, please show your true form. Legend has it that you are ugly, donkey-faced and human, but the statue is very handsome, and I want to see your true face. In order to prevent the idlers and others from glimpsing the gods, I asked everyone to exit the temple and avoid three miles away. β
Seth snorted coldly: "You want me to show up? Do you know that I came today to ask about your decision, but it won't change anything because of your decision, you just need to answer yes or no." β
Mary looked at the tears of the gods on the staff: "I will not answer until I see you." If I don't see you, I won't make any decisions. You can ignore my thoughts, but don't forget, the staff wielding the Maiden also has great power, and if I go all out, there will be no one in the city of Dream Filth who will be my opponent. Your so-called plan will also become a joke. β
Seth sneered: "Without the identity of a saint, you are just a great magician with a powerful weapon, do you think you will be the opponent of the gods? β
Maria nodded, "I know, but that comes at a big cost. Seth, are you just hiding in the clouds and giving orders, why don't you show up yourself, are you afraid of me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mary suddenly turned around, and a pervasive coercion appeared silently in the main hall, and a figure appeared at the door, as if stepping out of the endless void. This man is a majestic man, with a sturdy figure and a graceful face standing behind his back, and he is definitely not ugly. But his face is indeed a little long, and his eyes are a little small, and it is an exaggerated mockery to say that he is a donkey-faced human body.
Mary had "seen" him many times, and this man was none other than the archangel Seth on the altar. As soon as Seth appeared, he said coldly: "Isis guards the Holy Maiden, symbolizing protection, blessing and wisdom, and you are the most stupid choice to do so. You could have become the High Priestess of the Kingdom and the symbolic Empress of Eju, as long as Isis's mission as guardian of the Holy Maiden was brought to an end by you, completing the theocracy of the Empire. The goddess Isis is gone, and it should be so. β
Mary just looked at him, neither saluting nor answering, and the tears of the gods on the scepter flickered all the time.
Seth also stared at Maria, but the anger in his eyes gradually disappeared, and finally said calmly: "You can't be an opponent of the gods, even if you are strong, you can't be an enemy of me." If I am not willing to face you, you will not be able to see a god who is truly beyond eternal life. I'm here to tell you something. β
Mary finally spoke: "What do you want to tell me, is it that the goddess Isis is no longer there, and there is no need for the goddess of Isis to exist?"
Seth didn't answer or deny it, and said in a changed tone: "You are already a ninth-level divine magician, and you have just broken through the ninth-level achievement not long ago, right? Now you can be given another option, which is both a gift from the gods and the result of your own efforts.
As long as you make a vow, you can be accepted into the Nine Divine Systems, share the secrets of the gods, become an angel, and have the opportunity to transcend eternal life in the future. I am your inductor, you only need to make an oath to me, in addition to being loyal to the Nine Divine Systems, you only need to complete one more task, that is, to kill Amun, and the opportunity to become a god is already in front of your eyes!"
Maria took a step forward: "I'm surprised that you will also change your mind and give me another option. So what about the original choice, if I refuse, what are you going to do?"
Seth said indifferently: "You can't negotiate with the gods, this is the greatest blessing in the world." If you refuse, I don't know what else you want? Then you have only one option left, to destroy the soul imprint, and I need your identity to do what I want to do, whether it is a soulless body or not, people will only know that it is the Holy Maiden Mary. β
Mary took another step forward and said, "Are you so confident that you can do all this?"
Seth: "Anyway, it's just you and me here, I'll make it clear, even Horus is not my opponent, and now that I have become the de facto main god of the Nine Divine Systems, it is not difficult to do all this." I just took a fancy to your qualifications and courage, so I gave you another choice. β
Maria slowly raised her scepter: "Seeing you emerge from the void, I finally understood one thing, powerful warriors or magicians can fight against the gods in the human world, but they cannot enter the world that belongs to the gods. The battle between the gods and mortals, as long as they do not want to show up, is invincible. But you've already appeared, and you're standing too close to me. β
A gray scroll appeared out of thin air, none other than the Storm of Destruction she had taken from Amon. The old madman wanted to build the Iron Branch Staff back then, which was to imitate the scepter of the guardian saint of the Temple of Isis, and the Wind Charm Dance inlaid on the scepter was also a refined space magic weapon. When Mary raised her scepter, the scroll from the Wind Dance was sacrificed.
Seth snapped, "What is this?"
Maria: "You don't know Doomstorm, do you?"
Seth pouted: "Storm of Destruction? I know very well that the Temple of Isis wanted to make it but didn't succeed, so you scare me with such an empty shell?" I want to tell you, even the real Storm of Destruction can't destroy me, the legends of the world are just exaggeration!"
Maria stepped forward again: "I just wanted to try!"
Seth wanted to retreat, his figure seemed to disappear into the void in a trance, but it became clear again, and his tone couldn't help but reveal horror: "How did you know this secret?"
What is the secret?Mary immediately gave the answer, and she said with a deep cold face: "After all, I am the patron saint of the Temple of Isis, and I can know something. When the gods are locked in battle, they can't leave this world freely, unless you can break free from my lock, but it's too late!"
Seth let out a loud shout, and a staff appeared in his hand, but the gray storm of destruction unfolded just then. A terrifying aura erupted, there was darkness between heaven and earth, the light seemed to be swallowed by a black hole that suddenly appeared, and there was no sound, and the surrounding objects were constantly swept in, like a storm sweeping, and everything turned into nothingness.
...... The priests of the temple of Isis retreated three miles from the temple of the Lord by order of the Holy Maiden. Due to the proximity of the main shrine to the temple square, it is also necessary to evacuate two nearby residential areas within a three-mile radius. The dragon sent the Isis Legion to stand on guard, and no one was allowed to enter this area, waiting for a miracle to happen. People were talking a lot, asking what miracle the Holy Maiden of Longteng wanted everyone to wait for, but Longteng couldn't answer.
At this moment, several high priests suddenly let out a muffled snort, feeling the disturbing horror attack, lowered their heads and covered their chests, as if their hearts were inexplicably clenched, and for a while it seemed that their blood was coagulated and they couldn't breathe. The highest-achieving great magicians felt the most intensely, and the ordinary people looked up in the direction of the main shrine, alarmed by an inexplicable terrifying aura.
I saw that between the heavens and the earth in the distance, it was swallowed up by the sudden dark storm, and the light seemed to disappear into a black hole whirlpool, and the terrifying storm was constantly expanding with the breath of destruction. Many people let out an exclamation and turned around and ran, as if there were evil spirits chasing after them.
Rank 9 Great Divine Wizard Wald clutched his chest and shouted, "Long Teng, quickly order the military formation to retreat!"
The black light expanded and engulfed the heavens and the earth, and it looked like it was about to spread in front of everyone in a few breaths, and the vigilant Isis legionnaires and onlookers flew back like a tide. However, the scope of the black light explosion was not so far, it only destroyed all the buildings around the main shrine for a mile or so, and then slowly disappeared, and the magnificent main shrine of Isis and the side halls on both sides had turned into a scorched earth.
I heard a terrible long hiss, and a figure rose into the sky in the black light, and quickly disappeared into the sky. No one could tell who it was, and Seth was badly wounded and fled, and he didn't even look back!
...... "Ai Ko ββ!!!" was thousands of miles away, and a heart-rending long cry resounded throughout the Garden of Eden, and a figure flew out of the belly of the mountain, directly crashing through the barrier of the space magic array and rushing out. Peranrose, who was building a spatial array, was startled, Amon didn't even look at the road and rushed away, and a section of the magical space boundary that had just been built was violently destroyed.
What happened that made Amon, who had always been calm and stoic, lose his mind and rush out of the Garden of Eden like this? Amon had just flown away, and then a white light flashed, and Gabriel also sped away in the direction of Amun's departure, without even having time to say a word. Perrin Rose and Moses looked at each other, wondering what had happened to the two?
In the hollow of the mountain belly of the Garden of Eden, there was a blood stain spraying on the ground, and the broken divine stone fell from the bloodstain.
