Chapter 219: The Root of It All
Whether the sword left by the Sword Saint of the North Wind can kill a powerhouse of the Golden Rank, the answer is yes. For more exciting novels, please visit M: In El's opinion, this sword is enough to kill all the gold-rank powerhouses he has ever seen in an instant.
But whether the powerhouse of the gold rank will be killed by this sword, this answer is not very certain. By the time they reached that realm, the definition of death had long gone beyond the concept of **. Even after they truly died, a fragment of the soul, a projection, or even a little will, that remained should not be underestimated.
What's more, they are still two monsters that cannot be judged by common sense
After setting Tiana in place, El's courage returned to the battlefield. Although five or six minutes had passed, the center of the battlefield had not completely calmed down. It wasn't just the massive chasm, El observed through the True Eye that there was an invisible void in the sky above the chasm, in the center of the battlefield. Although it is almost invisible to the naked eye, you can still clearly perceive the distortion of the rules with your body.
If the world where Sword Keep is located is compared to a watermelon, then now it is like someone has scooped a spoonful of melon pulp from the middle of a watermelon. The other side of that void is the Endless Void, and on this side, the basic laws of the world have not yet been repaired.
If El shoots an arrow at this time, it is estimated that the arrow will suddenly slow down a hundredfold outside the hole, and then twist into eighteen turns in different directions, and finally become worthless fragments that are sucked into the void. It's just a description, but that's basically the result.
In the face of such a terrifying mortal threat, El's attention was not focused on the hollow, and when he came to the edge of the Great Rivture, he realized that Cyprus was not unfounded. He saw scattered traces of sludge on the ruins at the edge of the cracks, which apparently still maintained a disgusting evil power.
Thinking of the almost incomprehensible recovery ability of the purple demon god he had ever seen, El knew that it was probably only a matter of time before the black demon god wanted to be resurrected.
"You said you were going to kill her, and I'd love to know why. El asked in a low voice to Cyprus, he didn't want to know how to kill it, if even the sword of the Sword Master of the North Wind couldn't kill this thing, then no matter how hard he tried, it would be in vain. He just wanted to know the answer to that question now.
"Didn't you hear the prophet? It was clear that she was the apostle. Cyprus said.
"Of course I know that she is an apostle, and I have not only seen this apostle...... The question is, why do you want me to kill her?" El flicked the bowstring of the Dragon's Tooth Bow and said with a blank face, "What else do you know about the Apostle?"
"That's a long story......" Cyprus was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "I see you with wind marks in your hands, and you have the Night's Watch under you, how much do you know about the truth?"
"I don't know much, I just know that they are a bunch of crazy people who harm others and themselves. El said.
"A madman who harms others and does not benefit himself? You summed it up well, and it seems that you are also suffering from it. Cyprus said, "Do you know the history of the Society of Truth?"
"This one can be skipped, I know everything I should know. El said.
"Then you should also know that the Sword Saint of the North Wind was also the Twelve Sages of the year?" said Cyprus.
"Damn!" El finally didn't calm down, "Don't you tell me that the founding monarch of Oakland was behind the Truth Society, right?"
In a sense, that's true. The founding history of the Kingdom of Oakland is inextricably linked to the establishment of the Truth Society. Some of the founding generation were the elders of the Truth Society, and the Kingdom of Oakland can actually be said to be the 'ideal country' established by the Truth Society, but that dream was not really realized in the end. The inertia of worldly forces and the wear and tear of time have led to the eventual degeneration of this once hopeful country into an ordinary human kingdom. ”
As if sensing a bit of heaviness in his tone, Cyprian's voice paused, and continued: "Of course, those histories are too far away from us, and it doesn't make sense to talk about this now. Importantly, however, there were philosophical differences soon after the founding of the Truth Society, which eventually led to internal divisions. I don't know much about the rest of the situation, but the Sword Saint of the North Wind left the collective of the Twelve Sages and established the Sword Castle outside the brown hills, and spent the rest of his life wiping Adrian's bastard's ass...... You know what I'm talking about, right? ”
"Yes, the Seal of the Earth, an army of demons invading. Of course he knew about it, El said, and had even seen the fragments of Adrian's soul left in the underground ruins.
"Do you think that bastard is sick in the head? In fact, this is a common problem of the twelve sages of the Society of Truth, all of whom are sick in the head. Cyprus said through gritted teeth.
"Why are those people called sages, because in that dark age when the people were not living well, there will always be people who are not willing to be oppressed, and most of them will die without a place to be buried, but there will always be a few people who have fulfilled their ideals and saved the people from fire and water, so they are called sages. In other words, it's a bunch of neuropaths. ”
"I thought that kind of person should be called a hero. El said.
"Heroes are molded, and sages are born step by step, the former is only due to chance, and the latter are all characters with outstanding minds and perseverance. Cypriot said hatefully: "And such people often have an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time, they are unusually stubborn, and they stick to their ideas unwaveringly." ”
"I'll admit you're an interesting idea, but what does it have to do with the apostles?" El asked impatiently.
"If there was a person who insisted that **** was good for health, assuming it was true, would you eat it?" said Cyprus, abruptly shifting the subject.
"Am I sick?" El, inexplicably.
"But that person insists that you should be ****, and he still has to force you to eat, what do you think at this time?" asked Cyprus nonchalantly.
El's face was quite exciting, and the image in his head alone made his stomach churn.
"The person who forced you to **** is the so-called sage. Cypriot smirked and said, "Those sages with in their brains think that only their own path can save the world." If **** can save humanity, and everyone is unwilling to ****, then they will force everyone to **** at all costs...... The so-called Truth Society is actually such a thing!"
"Say no more, I'm going to throw up. El pursed his lips, took two deep breaths, and rolled his eyes.
"From that point of view, you can understand Adrian's behavior. Their faction firmly believes that blocking is better than sparseness, and believes that the seal of the center of the earth can only play a role in curing the symptoms but not the root cause of the stability of the earth. Only by opening the seal and allowing the law of chaos to continue to merge with the law of order in the present world can the stability of this world be continuously consolidated. "They have a whole system of theories, and you can't argue with his theories," Cyprus said...... But as far as the outcome is concerned, you should also be clear about the rest of the matter. ”
"Is this the truth, the truth they are seeking?" a cold light flashed in El's eyes, recalling the scenes in that illusion.
"That's right, this is the Truth Society. Now let's go back to the original question, why did I let you kill that monster? It goes back to the time when I was alive. Cyprus pondered for a moment, and then said leisurely: "When I left a projection here in the Sword Tomb, I only heard about some of the surface of this incident, and I really don't know what happened to me...... But what the prophet said reminded me that it was not a legend. ”
"What the prophet said is true, and what race of gods do the gods have a great will or something...... I didn't understand much. El thought back to the prophet's last words and said with a frown.
"This matter involves some secrets in ancient times, and it is very complicated to tell, and I am not particularly clear, so I will give you a brief explanation. Cypriot thought for a moment and said.
"As far as I know, there is a group of believers in the Truth Society, including even a few sages. They firmly believe that the gods are the supreme beings in this world, and that if human beings want to be saved, they must believe in the gods unconditionally in order to obtain the protection of the gods. For them, the best way to protect this world is to obey the will of the gods. ”
"That doesn't sound like a problem, does it?" El asked cautiously. In the common sense of a normal person, the gods should be supreme, and even ordinary people like him who have no faith firmly believe in this. It's just that Adrian's negative example has been in front of him, and he has maintained a basic skepticism about anything that will come into contact with the truth.
"You still don't understand...... "Cyprus sighed in hatred, "Of course it's true that mortals obey the will of the gods, but what if the gods are disgusted with mortals?
"You're not afraid of letting Thunder kill you by saying this?" El's hand shook, barely throwing the Dragon's Tooth Bow into the massive crack. He subconsciously looked up at the sky, and after repeatedly confirming that there were no anomalies, he cautiously took two steps back.
"I'm already dead, and even the gods can't let the dead die a second time, right?" Cypriot laughed and said, "What do you think the apostles are? The apostles are the lackeys sent by the gods to the nether! The power of mortals has made the gods feel threatened, so the gods sent the apostles to the earth to cleanse the human race. It's ridiculous that the Society of Truth is proud of it!"
