239. The fall of Enriel
At that time, Amon had not yet become a god, and Dumuz thought that he was vulnerable, and wanted to directly capture him and send him to Hades to exchange for his sister Peran Rose. However, the bright moon night had suffered from Amon's loss, and reminded Dumuz to make second-hand preparations, and if he was defeated, he would deliberately flee to lure Amon here, and a very ingenious trap was arranged between the cliffs of this huge mountain range.
The core of this trap is just a small magic circle, if you don't touch it, there is almost no abnormality, it requires very strong mana to detonate instantly, and then the entire mountain wall will collapse. This magic circle also has a function, that is, the power generated by the collapsed mountain wall is instantly connected, even if the transcendent immortal gods are not caught off guard for a while, I am afraid that the end will be worrying.
After Amon captured Mingyueye, he let Mingyueye, who was seriously injured, go, and took Dumuz to Hades to exchange for Perranrose, but this trap was still there, and no one touched it as if it had been forgotten. The bright moon night that created the trap did not expect that Amon would one day be used against Enriel.
The landslide itself could not hurt a god like Enriel, who already had the achievements of the Creator, and even if a mountain collapsed and buried him, Enriel would be able to turn into a cloud of green smoke and come out unscathed. But Ming Yueye set this trap back then, just to deal with a powerful existence like a god, its main role is not to use the falling mountain rocks to hurt people, but to connect the power of the landslide as a whole to form a powerful energy impact, restraining and attacking the opponent who fell into the trap.
Enriel saw the opportunity quickly, and the whip shadow had already whipped the collapsed mountain wall into powder, forming a space for reading power. But the powerful impact condensed and collapsed this magical space, and the shock wave that could almost shatter everything into powder directly hit the whip shadow that spiraled around Enriel's body, as if even the sky could hear the echo of vibration.
Enriel was ambushed by a trap, but where was Amon? When the cliff fell, where was the safest place? Of course, in the half of the mountain that had not yet collapsed, it was like hiding under a rainless roof when it rained. Amon held the Eye of the Seal in his hand, turned into a sharp drill, and drilled directly into the depths of the mountain.
When the landslide followed, his form was revealed among the newly peeled cliffs, and he swung a sword towards the chaotic world where Enriel was flying across the boulders, still a powerful seal. Amon was afraid that the trap set by Bright Moon Night back then would not be effective enough, so he added another force, shrinking all the energy impacts of the landslide together, and blasted towards Enriel.
Amon swung out the sword, and the countless boulders that had collapsed and the collapsed behemoth mountain all paused in the air for a moment, as if the collapsed power had been drained and transferred, and then continued to rumble and collapse. Amon only swung a sword, but this sword wielded his greatest power, and then his body turned into a golden light and shot straight towards the sky, without even looking at Enril who had fallen into the trap.
A gray vortex appeared in the sky, and black lightning slashed out from the vortex, striking Amun's body in a way that could not be stopped or dodged. Amon's figure was wrapped in a faint golden light, and he staggered into the immortal eternal void and disappeared from the human world.
As soon as Amon got out, he heard a loud click, and countless whip shadows swung out of the smoke and dust, forcibly scattering the trap's confinement and the sealing power imposed by Amon, and the mountain wall not far away was affected by this energy and collapsed with a large explosion, countless boulders scattered in all directions, and Enriel's figure was revealed again.
He looked very embarrassed, the leather robe on his body was torn in several places, the long whip was ruined, the long whip broke into countless pieces and scattered with the rubble at the foot of the mountain, and there was only a bare whip in his hand. Enriel is indeed amazingly powerful, he destroyed this magical magic weapon that is integrated with the refining of body and mind, and broke through the shackles of the trap to get out.
However, as soon as his figure appeared, the dust on the plateau had not yet dispersed, but suddenly an aura even more terrifying than the landslide locked him firmly. Enriel's feeling at this moment was much more terrifying than when Amon suddenly encountered him, this moment was when he was at his weakest, and the strength of the one who came was much stronger than him, it was his sworn enemy Malduk.
Marduk's burly and muscular figure stood in the air at some point, and said coldly: "Enriel, you also have today!"
He spoke without giving Enriel the slightest respite, swinging a long knife in his hand and slashing it down to the head, accompanied by a roaring power that was everywhere in all directions. The knife was only more than four feet long in Malduk's hand, and the bright blade had snowflake-like lines, the color was dark and snow-white, and there were subtle wave lines on the sharp blade that could not be distinguished by the naked eye.
The knife slashed from the sky into a hundred feet of light, and the light and dark interlaced with an extremely violent shock, slicing the space into countless fragments, and the humming sound even shattered the falling rubble in the distance into flying mist.
...... Faust is presiding over a ceremony in the temple to offer sacrifices to Enriel on behalf of the Legion of Giants, calling on the gods to give them the power to reinvigorate the elite legion that once terrified their enemies. The main generals of the legion and the lord of the city, Lohwald, knelt before the statue, and Faust recited the praises with his staff in hand, and the atmosphere in the hall was mysterious and solemn.
In the sense of this top ninth-level great magician, the statue of Enriel on the altar was not just a cold stone, but like a living and incredible god standing there.
It is for this reason that Faust wants to avoid such occasions, but in his capacity he is compelled to spend time with them, presiding over these ceremonies under the gaze of the gods, and there is a burning feeling in his heart that ordinary people cannot understand. Today, however, something unusual happened, and Faust's soul, who was reciting the prayer, heard a strange sound, as if something had shattered, and the source of the sound was the majestic statue of Enriel on the altar.
The idol is still a god, and it doesn't seem to have changed to the naked eye, but the invisible sense attached to it shatters at this moment, as if a living life instantly turned into a cold humanoid boulder.
Faust's prayer was interrupted at this moment, which had never happened before, and if an ordinary priest made such a mistake, he would have been reprimanded and punished. But of course, everyone did not dare to reprimand or question the sage and the national teacher, and they also felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong, so they quietly raised their eyes, some looked at Faust with puzzled eyes, and some looked at the statue in the center of the hall with confused and confused eyes.
I saw that Faust's face was pale as if he was sick, and flushed as if he was drunk, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately returned to his normal demeanor, coughed lightly twice as if to remind everyone to maintain etiquette, and continued to recite the blessing dedicated to the gods in a solemn tone, and the rich and infectious voice echoed in the main hall again, and the ritual continued.
...... Kibir, the god of fire, and Nugus, the god of ashes, were thrown hundreds of miles away by Amon, but they were still chasing after the mountains in the distance, and suddenly they heard the sound of the sky cracking beyond the horizon, and they could feel the terrifying aura even from so far away, and the distant roar seemed to pierce directly into the soul.
It was the power of Malduk's magic knife slashing, and although it wasn't aimed at them, the aura still made them tremble, and the smoke and flames paused in the air, and then something in their souls vanished.
It was a brand of vows that had been in their souls many years earlier when they had been guided by Enriel to join the Anunnakai lineage. As long as Enril remains, they will carry out the tasks of the divine system, which is both a constraint and a natural sense of mission in the vow. But at this moment, there was a sudden and indescribable change, as if it had become the same as before they joined the god system.
What had happened? Could it be that Enriel had fallen? How could this be!
...... In a distant place, the dark wolf god Bright Moon Night has been silently healing on a scenic island beyond the mouth of the Youngbottom and Rees rivers. He had failed to assassinate Amon twice, and both times he walked away with his wounds, not only because Amon had injured him, but also because the excessive use of that berserk force had caused a lot of damage to himself.
Especially the first time the injury was not completely healed, and the second time he followed Dumuz to plot against Amon, but he was beaten so much that he almost couldn't get up, and all his muscles and bones were not branded with pain, and he lost the strength to continue fighting for a long time, and temporarily became a waste among the gods.
In this case, if he does not wait for his injuries to heal and forcibly uses the violent power again, he may be left with permanent and irreparable damage, so he must find a place away from the strife to heal quietly. And Amon had a pact with him: "I can not kill you and let you go, but also give you a chance to free yourself from your mission." But you have to promise one condition, you feel that you are fully back to your peak and can come to me for a public duel. Do not make any more ambushes or assassinations, but wait until the day when you are sure of them, and in the meantime do not harm my disciples or the people of the city of Salem. ”
So Mingyueye came to this isolated island far from the mainland, spent a few years to recuperate and recover, and now it is just close to healing. On this day, when he was about to leave the island and fly to the Tianshu Continent, there was a sudden sound in his soul as if something was shattering, and a brand disappeared.
This imprint comes from a soul contract, and unlike the other oracles under Enriel, he not only received Enriel's guidance to gain Origin Power, but he is also equivalent to Enriel's "summoned beast".
As one of the two main gods of the Anunnaqi God Department, Enriel has the achievements of the creator, and his mastery of various human magic has naturally reached the peak of the realm, and he himself is far more skilled than Celia as a master of summoning magic. His guidance on the night of the moon was different from that of other oracles, focusing on how to cultivate and control that violent power, so that it could merge with the body and mind, like the soul of a beast lurking in the human body. Enriel also signed a soul pact with Bright Moon Night, making him the most dangerous assassin on the continent driven by him.
This soul contract is the imprint that is integrated into the body and mind, and now that this imprint has suddenly disappeared, it can only mean three situations: either Enriel has voluntarily abandoned this contract, or the bright moon night is strong enough to break through the shackles of the brand, or Enriel, the god, has fallen.
The dark wolf god Ming Yueye looked at the coastline and was stunned, he naturally sensed that what happened was the third situation, but how could this be possible? Mingyue Ye seemed to be relieved, but he felt a dazed and trance in his soul.
...... In the city-state of Syasia in the kingdom of Hati, the high priest Wallette hurried to the back court of the temple, the quiet courtyard where his teacher Gerek lived. I don't know what happened, so that this always calm great magician forgot the proper etiquette, almost trotted all the way into the courtyard, and only stood outside the door and said, "Teacher Gelie, the student has something important!"
The door opened silently, apparently letting him in on his own, but Golie didn't speak. Wallette walked briskly over the threshold into the room, only to be stunned. I saw that the old man, who was admired by the whole country and was like a god in the eyes of the people, was kneeling silently on the ground, looking at an empty wall in the room, his shoulders were trembling slightly, and his eyes were closed and he was already in tears.
Wallette never dreamed that Ge Lie would cry, and crying silently was so sad that he didn't dare to alarm the teacher, so he knelt silently at his side, waiting for Ge Lie to stop his tears.
It was a private reception room outside of God's bedroom, in the backyard of the temple of Enriel, and according to the customary dwelling of priests like him, this wall should be a relief or painting of the gods, otherwise it would be contrary to the rules of the temple building. But in Gore's room, there was an empty wall, and there was nothing on it. In the whole kingdom, only his old man had the authority to arrange the rooms in the temple as he wished.
When the priests of the Hatian kingdom talked about it in private, not only did they not dare to accuse Goreh of being disrespectful to the gods, but they would praise this great sorcerer in public, saying that the glory of the gods and the glory of Goret had become one, and that he had reached a point where he did not need to resort to any external form of expression. That being said, no second priest dared to follow the example of Goret because they were not Goret.
After a long time, Ge Lie stopped his tears, took out a piece of soft white cotton from his sleeve, wiped his cheeks, and regained his calmness. He stood up and sat down at the table and said, "Wallette, you don't have to be so alarmed, I already know what's going on. ”
The change of the idol of Enriel did not only occur in the temple of the city-state of Enriel, but also in all the temples dedicated to the idol of Enril on the Tianshu Continent.
Wallette's eyes were full of confusion: "Teacher, you already know? I'm not surprised by this, but how could this happen? It's shocking!"
Ge Lie sighed and replied lightly: "Ten years ago, when the great flood destroyed Duke Town and almost engulfed the city-state of Syria, I wondered if there would be such a day, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly! If the surviving young man in Duk Town can become a god, why can't the god who destroyed Duk Town fall?"
Wallette quietly asked with information magic: "Dear teacher, I know your beliefs very well, and the brilliance of the surname of God shines in you, and in that great flood back then, the real god was you, not Enriel. And now why are you weeping over the fall of Enriel?"
Golie looked at him and replied, "Know why I sent Raphael to the Plains of Duke, and kept you with you?" You are of a different origin from Raphael, and you are more stable than him, but you are also more confused than him. My tears were like the flood of those years, for my old friend Nietzsche, and for the fall of the gods.
I am not saddened by the fate of Enriel, but the fall of the gods does. Consider that you have followed me, the faith that we have guarded with half our lives, the hope that thousands of people have guarded, Enriel has symbolized all this, and will continue to symbolize all this. His fall is enough to become a painful sorrow in the world, and I am also shedding tears for fate, and the suffering that has broken out in the Tianshu Continent will never end because of this. ”
The confusion in Wallette's eyes deepened: "Dear teacher, I already know why Enriel fell when I heard what you mean, could it be that the god Amun beheaded him?"
Gelie nodded, shook his head lightly and said, "Yes, it is because of Amon, but not Amon, and the appearance of the god Amun foreshadows the fall of Enriel." But I know very well that the god Amun is not that powerful, at least not yet. The fall of the god Enriel was, in a sense, the same as the fall of Sinach the Great.
Sinach conquered the kingdom of Barun, but was wiped out by an arrow from Gilgamesh. The kingdom of Enriel has forced the kingdom of Marduk to retreat, and the majesty of the god Enriel seems to be about to reach its peak, but in the end everything becomes meaningless because of his own demise. The one who can cut him down and can cut him down must be Malduk. ”
Wallette finally showed a look of surprise: "I see! It was Marduk who beheaded Enriel, so will the main gods of Assyria and Hati also change?"
Goreh shook his head again and said, "It will not change immediately and naturally, unless the kingdoms of Assyria and Hatti also change like Eju, then the cold stone statue will still stand on the altar and be sacrificed and worshipped by the people." Before Enriel's fall, the Lord God needed the kingdom of the world, and after his fall, the kingdom of the world also needed the nominal existence of the Lord God. ”
