Chapter 384: Honor Me as God
Yes, or... No.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for Chino's answer, not only the leaders of the clans, but even Perseus leaned forward and stared at Chino, observing every change in his expression.
Chino and Solandelle looked at each other, the corners of their lips curled more deeply, their amber eyes seemed to be bottomless, and finally, he gave his own answer...
"It's not."
After a brief dead silence, the atmosphere in the synagogue began to heat up rapidly, and there were one exclamation after another in the audience.
This person isn't Chino Van Helsing?!
So what the hell is he...
Lan Xian was very calm, although he was also shocked by this answer, he still raised his hand, suppressed the exclamation of the scene, and then frowned and asked, "Then please tell us, who is the person who now occupies Chino Van Helsin's bodyβyou?" β
Chino: "I'm nobody. β
Lan Xian: "What do you mean?" β
Chino: "Before last year's 8th of Divine Blessing, I had no self-consciousness, like an unformed baby in the womb of a mother, born out of nothingness. And when I suddenly woke up, I found myself in the body of Chino van Helsing, whose past life was engraved in my memory like a knife and axe. β
"So, in a sense, you could say I'm Chino van Helsing, because I do occupy his body and have all his memories, exactly the same."
"Of course, you could also say that I am not Chino van Helsing, because his original personality is gone, and I have nothing in common with him except this body and memories of the past. I am who I am, a person who has awakened and been completely reborn in someone else. β
The traditional Horned Heron couldn't sit still, stood up and scolded sharply: "Ridiculous words! Born out of nothingness, awakened in someone else's body... Do you think we'll believe that? What proof do you have?! β
Solandale countered: "The personality change that took place on the 8th of God is the best evidence, and facts speak louder than words." If it is not the rebirth of a personality, how can a person have such a great contrast without warning? β
At the critical moment, Lan Xian spoke again: "Ninth Princess, I found that you are confusing the topic again. Even if we accept Administrator Chino's rhetoric and admit that a new personality has been born in his body, what does this have to do with the "curse" we discussed earlier? β
Solandale responded, "Of course it is. It seems to me that the curse ... No, I think it's time for us to switch to a neutral rhetoric β inducements. β
"The reason why Chino was hunted by the Alien Visitors is probably related to this personality change, otherwise the timing would not be so coincidental - a few days after Chino's personality transformation, the Alien Visitors bought the horse bandits to massacre Shilin Town."
"In this way, what this personality itself is may not be so important, but the important thing is the reason - why the birth of this personality will be hunted by visitors from outside the world."
Solandelle wanted to continue, but was stopped by Lan Xian with a gesture, he looked at Chino, and said meaningfully: "The ninth princess doesn't need to continue, instead of trying to guess, handing over to Chino's administrator and fabricating steps... Why don't you let him say it himself? β
Solandelle's words were intercepted, and it was undoubtedly partiality to continue, and she could only look deeply at Chino, hoping to give him strength with her eyes.
For Chino, Solandale has done enough for him, really enough, not only to induce the topic of personality transformation and arouse everyone's suspicions, but also to combine it with the hunt of visitors from outside the world, providing great flexibility for the subsequent debate.
Now that the situation has opened up completely, the time has come to fight back.
Just let history... Let's rephrase it today!
Chino's amber eyes seemed to be burning with flames, and he smirked and picked up the topic: "Lord Lan Xian, let me ask you a question, please imagine the following scene - you lead an army to fight against the enemy country, the two sides have been fighting fiercely for a long time, and as far as the eye can see, there are ruined cities, and millions of soldiers and civilians have died. β
"At this time, the enemy country throws an olive branch to you and promises you that if you kill one of your subordinates, the two sides will sign a peace treaty immediately. Do you think you should let this subordinate die? β
Lan Xian didn't hesitate: "Maybe it's despicable from a moral point of view, but in terms of the overall situation, of course it should, if the death of a subordinate can be quelled..."
"That's why you are the king's right hand, and I am the king's left hand." Sting, who had been silent for two full meetings, suddenly broke his right to silence at this moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if there was a sharp light flashing in it, "In a war, no matter what situation it is, whether it is at the beginning of the war, whether it is exhausted, the more the enemy wants to do, the more we can't let him do it." β
"Whatever the enemy wants to do, we will block. We will do whatever the enemy does not want to see. Whoever follows the enemy's rhythm is a brainless fool - no offense, Lord Lan Xian, I'm just making an analogy, not against you. β
This Sting pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and finally came to a sentence that was not aimed at you, which made Lan Xian a little speechless.
"Thank you for speaking up, Master Sting." Chino looked around and asked suspiciously, "Then the question is, how can you not figure out such a simple truth when it comes to me?" Is the visitor your enemy? β
Everyone was silent, but silence was actually acquiescence, especially those legion generals who were well versed in military affairs, who were already nodding slightly at this time.
Chino: "Since the visitors are your enemies, why do you follow the rhythm of the visitors when they go to great lengths to hunt me down, want to kill me, and bite me back before they die?" Why don't you say what Master Sting saidβwe have to block whatever the enemy wants to do. β
"Even if you don't trust me, don't treat me as your own, and think I'm just an insignificant pawn. But the enemy of the enemy is the ally, you should always understand this truth, right? β
Lan Xian retorted loudly: "The premise of an ally is that it is useful to us, what is the use of an ally that has no effect to come?" I don't deny that you're very capable, Administrator Chino, but in the face of the massive invasion of visitors from outside the sky, your abilities are not worth mentioning. There are many warriors in the kingdom, there are not many of you, and there are many of you. β
"Before seeking refuge in the Kingdom, should you first consider what you can bring to the Kingdom?"
After Lan Xian said this, he suddenly noticed a strange thing, not only did Chino not be annoyed, but a strange smile appeared on his face, the curvature of the corners of his lips was as sharp as a blade, and there seemed to be a flame burning in his pupils, which made people feel uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.
"Click, click, click...", crisp footsteps sounded, and Solandelle walked to the judgment seat, and the moment she and Chino met their eyes, they both saw the unshakable power in each other's eyes.
Solandale: "Before, I was thinking about one thing. In ancient times, visitors from the heavens killed the great Sun King, who were synonymous with destruction and blasphemy. But 2,700 years later, these blasphemers have died again and again at the hands of Chino, is this due to strength? Maybe part of it..."
"But I suppose that strength alone is not enough in the face of elusive visitors from outside the worldβjust like in the face of those cunning desert assassins, what if your strength is extremely strong? No one can always defend their backs. Throughout the ages, there have been many strong people who have died at the hands of the rats. β
"It's the same with visitors from outside the sky, the history books record that they don't know where they came from, they don't know where they are going, they fly invisibly, like a spark burned out - the blasphemers invade this world with more methods than mortals know, their whereabouts are more unpredictable than the desert assassins, but Chino can pinpoint them again and again, like... It's like knowing in advance that they're coming.
"So, I had an idea."
"Chino Administrator, I have a question for you next. It's not just about you, it's about the whole of Doguland, and about the course of history for decades to come. So, I need you to give the most truthful answer-"
The sunlight from the dome reflected in Solandelle's pupils, and the flow was like a scorching light, as if it was about to scorch the lead: "You... Can you sense the invasion of visitors from outside the sky? β
As soon as this question came out, the audience was silent, everyone's expressions fell into a stupor, cold sweat unconsciously broke out on their foreheads, dripping on their clothes and they didn't know it, they just stared at Chino like this, and their eyes didn't dare to blink.
Pertheus also subconsciously stood up, looking at Chino with an incredulous gaze, and he clenched the pen in his hand so hard that he didn't even notice that he accidentally broke it with excessive force.
Even Dinisha in Sequence 7 woke up from her slumber at this time, lifted the brim of her hat slightly with one finger, and looked sideways at Chino.
Twilight falls on the two of them through the skylight, as if splashing with a fine golden glow, and the smiling demon stares at the little princess, who is also staring at the smiling demon.
Today, history will be rewritten!
Chino: "Yes. β
Silence, deathly silence.
There was no sound in the synagogue, which symbolized the supreme power of Doguland, and the breathing of the 382 councillors was gone, and everyone's hearts seemed to stop beating for a few seconds at this moment.
Gradually, the dead silence was broken in an instant, and a terrifying whistling sound rose from all directions, drowning the hall like a tidal wave:
"He can sense the invasion of visitors from outside the sky... How is this possible?! β
"Lie! He's alarmist! β
"If it's true... What kind of ability is this... Never heard of it in the past! β
"The gods are above... Who the hell is this Chino van Helsing..."
...
The crowd was horrified, and even Pertheus, who was the calmest, froze.
After the initial loss of consciousness, Edward stood up sharply and asked sharply, "How are you going to prove what you say?" In my opinion, this is an excuse to save your life! β
"The proof is in front of you." Chino pointed at himself and smiled, "The Visitor from Heaven launched 5 attacks, 5 times!" I can still stand here and talk to you, why do you think? If I couldn't sense their invasion, defenseless in the face of an attack, under the weapons of those blasphemers, do you think I'd have a chance to stand here? β
Edward's face turned pale and he couldn't speak, obviously, he knew better than anyone that in the face of a completely unknown enemy like a visitor from outside the sky, if there was no "advance defense", the probability of survival was infinitely close to 0.
The others finally realized that Chino's words were true...
At this time, not only the parliamentarians were shocked, but the leaders of the five royal families were also unable to hold their breath, and even King Perseus glared angrily and shouted: "Why didn't you report this kind of thing before?!" β
Chino: "Because I'm as stunned as you are, and I don't understand why I have this ability." As I have said before, I have awakened in this body, knowing nothing about this world except the memories of the original host, and I have been searching for the meaning of my existence. β
"In the beginning, like you, I regarded this ability to sense visitors from outside the world as a curse, and I was caught up in a wandering, not understanding why I had to endure such a thing."
"But when I first killed the Celestial Visitors, and watched the Blasphemers turn into sparks and disappear into the sky, all the soldiers and civilians who witnessed this scene fell to their knees before me, and I looked down on them from above, just as the higher beings looked down on the mortal world."
"At that moment, it was as if I understood everything."
Chino turned to look at the council seats, and his eyes fell on Barty Doguland, who had come to Twilight City last year to investigate the bombings, "Lord Barty, do you remember what I said to you during last year's investigation. β
Under the watchful eye of everyone, Barty swallowed hard and repeated the sentence in a trembling voice: "You say... Perhaps, I am the next Sun King..."
The blasphemous curses had just reached everyone's lips, but in front of the ability to sense visitors from outside the sky, their throats seemed to be held by a large hand, and they could not make a sound.
Chino: "You all think it's blasphemy to compare yourself to a god, but in fact, what the Sun King didn't do, I did. It was I who killed the visitors who invaded this world, it was I who avenged your former gods, and I did what no mortal could do. β
"It was then that I finally understood that what had befallen me was not a curse, but a power, a power that was above the world and above all mortals. And it's heralding something to youβ"
Without warning, a strange shadow of death erupted from Chino's body and raged around him, turning into an endless curtain of darkness, casting terrifying shadows on the ground until the entire synagogue was a place of darkness without light.
Everything is covered with dust, the light is faint, and the raging black torrent is tumbling into the sky, like blooming inky flowers, they cling to the black curtain and go up, and finally open a giant eye overlooking the world, under its gaze, the material world seems to have become a boundless picture scroll depicting all things, cold, only cold.
The sharp light refracted in the darkness illuminated Chino's face vividly, and the giant eyes above resonated with him endlessly, and there were thousands of arcs of electricity in those amber pupils, and the extremely crazy roar seemed to resound through this mortal world:
