122. Veil
At this moment, in this huge and dark cave, the two nineteenth-rank archangels blocked the space where Helaire could move one after the other, completely blocking her way forward and retreating.
Faced with Pandora's question, Hellaire smiled reluctantly, but did not answer immediately.
Seeing this, the white-haired and brown-skinned Lemuel behind her clasped her hands and raised her fingers, and in the cave, extremely dangerous arcs of electricity began to activate from the corners, slowly approaching the center.
"Want to stall until the World Tree comes? It seems that you don't know our true purpose even if you're usually bohemian, so it's a little unexpected at the moment? β
"Don't be like that, Master Pandora, so tense... I don't even know what you want to do, so why bother me like this? β
"Didn't you already understand? The World Tree Teardrop I wanted was to forge a sacred relic to replace the cursed eyes that I knew the secrets of the true God. The angels of the Sanctuary know this, and you should understand it too. β
Hellaire smiled and spread his hands, and said to Pandora Angel,
"If your purpose at this moment is really only the teardrops of the World Tree, you can just wait for Margaret above to die, right? Why do you want this mark from Fisher... Pandora Angel, whether it's the loom of fate, the teardrops of the World Tree, or even this sigil, you want it all. β
"The reason why Fisher, the transferee, wanted to see the Holy Grail was because he wanted to break the rules of the Holy Grail with the sigil in his bosom and help him expel death with the power of the Heavenly Lock. But he didn't know how much that seal could do if it could break the rules of the Holy Grail... Unlike Margaret, who stole some of the power of death, the Holy Grail has all the power of the Heavenly Lockβincluding the authority given to him by the gods. β
Pandora lowered her head slightly, and her empty eyes looked at the ribbon lying in her palm, as if the ribbon had ignited a raging fire of desire at this moment.
"I've had enough of the Heavenly Locks and his foolish sanctuary to be the creator of angels, and he has no one in his sights more than any of us. I was nothing more than a tool to keep an eye on the Sanctuary and the mortal realm, and he thought it was a gift, and I had to thank him respectfully? If you want to blame it, it's no one in his eyes, he is far away in Taiyu deep space, and he probably doesn't know what's going on here...
"And before he finds out, I will have the loom, take the authority of death, and enter the level of demigods; I will have the teardrops of the World Tree, to make up for my wounds cursed by the secrets of the true God, and to forge a great relic that has never been seen before in history; I will use the power of the transferred person to steal all the life authority of the Heavenly Lock, and create a species that belongs to me beyond the limitations of mythical species
"I will forge my own kingdom of God."
Above the cave, Margaret's aura had completely dissipated, and the loom of fate and the power of death that she had linked to had begun to subside.
If Pandora doesn't turn back, by this moment, Taogong's purpose has been completely achieved.
The arrival of the World Tree really has no concept of every second counting, for an eternal demigod like her, a second, an hour, or even a day and a month is only a moment, and it is certain that this morning has been the manifestation of her rage, which has given the human beings who live for a moment a chance to take advantage of it...
Of course, now this opportunity is already Pandora's.
The expression on Heller's face faded slightly, and she asked,
"How can you be sure that the sigil that Fisher gave me will break the rules that the Heavenly Locks have left on the Holy Grail? What if he was chased by death and just tried to the death, and even he couldn't guarantee success? β
"So, since you returned to the Sanctuary from the Tree Continent to recuperate, I left some means on you. It's through your time with him day and night that I'm finally sure of the efficacy of that thing... Of course, I wouldn't mind hearing how you, the angel, flirted with the person who was transferred. β
Pandora's head didn't move, but the breath of sensation swept over the crown on Helaire's head, as if to confirm the words with the gift Fisher had given her.
Helaire took a step back, as if she had understood something, so she sighed, looked up in the direction of the stone tower Fisher above, and muttered,
"Really, it's weirdly embarrassing..."
"Zizizizi!"
But in the next second, from behind her, a lightning light as fast and swift as light came in an instant.
The power of the Nineteenth Order was beyond Heller's strength, and before she could even react, the sword-like thunder light had already passed through her neck.
With a screeching sound of arc flashing, Helaire's crowned head flew into the air, rolling to the ground with the expression of regret that had been held for a second.
"Boom... Boom..."
Golden divine blood splattered out instantly, and as her head rolled to the ground, the crown that Fisher had given her on her head also fell, becoming extremely dim like an angel's aura.
"Plop!"
Then, her headless body fell to the ground in an instant, completely losing her life.
Pandora could not see her dead, but felt the complete death of her breath, and she raised her hand mockingly, and took out of her bosom the sigil from Renee that Fisher had given her for safekeeping.
"It's a shame that as an angel, you have changed the sex of life for the sake of this human being. I just don't know what it is about him that attracts you to you. β
Even though Pandora knew Hellaire's temperament, she was still puzzled by how much Hellel liked Fisher.
Perhaps this is indeed a question worth exploring, but now that Hellaire is completely dead, it doesn't matter.
Behind him, Lemuel, who easily took Helaire's life, stepped forward, looked at the mark that shimmered with purple light in mid-air, and couldn't help but speak,
"This chaotic mark is not only at the level of a demigod, I am afraid that it has reached the level of a true god... When he was in the Tree Continent before, that Fisher probably used this kind of power to repel Tao Gong. β
"It's not just Tao Gong, he has been chased by death and hasn't died until now, because of this level of chaotic power. But that power can't always protect him, and death will soon catch up with him, otherwise he wouldn't have come desperately to ask for the Holy Grail... But don't worry anymore. β
Pandora smiled slightly, then reached out and stroked her lower abdomen, and then the black chalice that Fisher had seen before slowly took shape from her lower abdomen.
The Holy Grail, which contained the power of the Heavenly Locks, was filled with countless wishes, which Pandora had accumulated before.
But in Pandora's view, these wishes in a cup are so ironic.
From today onwards, these disgusting things will be far away from themselves.
Then, with a single move, she threw Renee's sigil into the chalice. The moment the purple mark fell, the entire Holy Grail began to boil, and then, in the burst of countless β symbols, the power in the Holy Grail linked to a place in the distant starry sky was uncontrollably transmitted.
At that moment, the flesh in Pandora's eyes began to leap again, symbolizing that the Heavenly Lock was calling her...
Ha... The current Heavenly Lock must be very confused, right?
What happened in the mortal world?
Why is your power passing in an instant?
Why did the slave Shariyeh, whom he had appointed, be able to resist his call?
The expression of joy on Pandora's face grew, and the wishes accumulated in the Holy Grail seemed to become endless, instantly turning into a deep purple like a star, raising the rank of Pandora, who was holding the Holy Grail, little by little.
She's about to become a true demigod!
And her kingdom of God on earth is about to be established here and now!
The ground of the entire Ideal Kingdom began to tremble, and Pando, who possessed incomparably huge strength, stretched out his hand, and the teardrops of the Loom of Destiny and the World Tree, which were separated from Margaret's link, flew uncontrollably from the ground, and went straight from the cracks to the cave and Pandora's hands.
The Trinity, time is still full, and everything has been settled.
She won.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! β
But at this moment, as Pandora and Lemuel had not yet expected, a long applause suddenly sounded in the cave.
The look of pleasure on Pandora's face came to an abrupt end, and Lemuel's body stiffened slightly.
Because, at this moment, they feel the same feeling at the same time.
"Wow... Wow... Wow..."
The first is the sound of seemingly eternal, unregular, almost infinite waves crashing against the reef.
The voice was crisp, but it was so harsh when it reached my ears.
Obviously a nineteenth-order mythical species, the two angels seem to have returned to the time when they were babies, and they are so afraid of such noise.
"Congratulations, Lemuel, Pandora..."
Lemuel turned his head to look, only to find that at some point, the entire cavern seemed to be covered in a darkness that even they could not see. The darkness was like a spreading invisible mist, like a spreading tide, slowly and without knowing its source, swallowing the entire cavern.
Obviously, this is a closed cave, but at this moment, in front of them is more like a coastline hidden in the dark night.
From beyond the wide shoreline, there is a constant stream of the crashing of the waves.
"Wow... Wow... Wow..."
The darkness enveloped the entire cave in an instant, and all the surroundings of the two angels had turned into the depths of the infinite deep space.
As if they had lost gravity, in the infinite darkness, Pandora and Lemuel suddenly felt as if they were about to fall into the abyss.
From the shuddering darkness, Helaire's smiling voice slowly came from a certain direction, and she seemed to be clapping her hands, and her words of congratulations came along with the echo of the applause.
"Herel?"
However, the congratulations at this moment did not bring the slightest joy, and both Pandora and Lemuel only felt a burst of horror of hitting the ghost.
The angel? No way? There was no way she would have survived Lemuel's attack.
But the truth is that when Lemuel looked in the direction from which the voice came, he saw a vague figure in the white robe of an angel in the dark darkness.
The figure had no head, but an indescribable black substance flowed from the gap in its neck. The black substance is faintly twisted like a starry sky, but when you want to explore it, you will suddenly find that you are sinking deeper and deeper.
"Ah, you've been dormant long enough, and your ability to seize the moment is admirable, and this time the story should be that you've won. To be honest, it's really interesting to see you just quit and watch you build the kingdom of God on earth like this..."
In the darkness, behind the headless figure, there were slowly stretched out countless indescribable, unknown creatures but different arms, which seemed to come from very different beings and even existences.
At the same time, in the darkness, an indistinguishable song rang out along with the dance of shadows.
The indescribable arm of terror seemed to drag the dark celestial body, the star that shimmered in the morning light, but in the end, the holding star suddenly became the head of the angel with the eyes closed, and was carefully and slowly placed on the headless body.
After a pause, in the darkness, the crown given by Fisher was also placed on the head of the golden angel who had been stained with the blood of many golden angels.
Heller's head and body were not fully connected, and there was even a hideous gap in the middle, but "Heller's" head seemed to have come to life, and before she even opened her eyes, the familiar smile bloomed again, picking up the previous words,
"But, I changed my mind."
"You... What the hell is it? β
Before Pandora's questioning could be finished, an extremely obvious electric light burst out from Lemuel's body beside him, sputtering towards Helaire in front of him.
But the electric light penetrated the space into the thick darkness, and there was no movement, only the endless sound of the waves and the darkness remained.
"What am I?"
"Click..."
Heraire's head, whose eyes were closed, was held up by countless indescribable palms behind her, she tilted her head, and suddenly smiled and asked,
"Pandora, why do you think the World Tree Teardrops from the Loom of Destiny that you want so much can give you the consciousness of the holy object you want, and why do you think it is?"
As her light voice sounded, in front of the head of "Helaire", cracks in space shattered, and from the cracks in that space, different dimensions were reflected, as if a face was reflected from it.
The head, which was held up by thousands of arms, seemed to be a star, and at this moment it changed into another appearance of a black-haired elf.
The black-haired elf with its golden dilated pupils had almost the same appearance as Renee, and the scent that had seduced Fisher so many times spread through the darkness between the silver earrings on the slender ears.
That's, one of the three sons, [Tsuki].
Natsuki's figure and Helaire's appearance are layered on top of each other, blending and distinct from each other.
At the same time, the voice of the tsuki and the voice of Hellel played together like a song,
"Because [I] was born through the loom, the loom that the little one gave to the creature was stained with my breath."
Could it be that the long-lost tsuki of the Tree Continent is also Helaire?
When was it infiltrated?
But both Tsubaki and Helaire must have been created by the demigods themselves...
Beneath Pandora, a steady stream of black matter slowly covered the ground, and as they came into contact with it, they moved closer and closer to the darkness.
In the darkness, they seemed to understand more.
They seemed to see more of what was hidden in the dark.
Behind the separated body of "Heller", in the darkness, there was an indescribable formless being that seemed to come from a distant place.
In the almost ubiquitous body, there flashed one after another disorderly, seemingly endless [authority].
First of all, there is an authority with the symbol of "β" hanging from it.
"Don't you wonder why the Sanctuary forbids you to forge gospel relics made from intelligent life?"
Under the constant reminder of "Heller", at that moment, Pandora seemed to understand everything.
Because she suddenly realized a problem, in the structure that makes up the tens of millions of beings in this world, from zero-level humans to demigod-level beings, there is one thing that all living beings are rarely aware of but are born with.
They came from the spirit realm that the gods could not limit, and there has never been any legend since the beginning of the world about where they came from.
I'm afraid that even gods like Lamastia can't tell where they come from, and think that they are a gift from heaven...
But now, Pandora has realized that this gift of heaven also has a source.
This gift is the soul.
Whether it's Tsubaki or Helaire, at the beginning of creation, their souls came from the spirit world!
"It seems that you have figured it out, you are really smart, and it took a lot of effort to select your souls in the first place."
"Originally, I was going to be an intimate audience member, and it was also fun to occasionally stage an interesting story with you... But, who told me to find a very valuable treasure..."
In this moment, both Pandora and Lemuel felt the dark, endless ocean, which was approaching them from a distant place.
But as powerful as they are, they feel like they're going crazy just by feeling the proximity of that ocean, and they're about to destroy themselves, let alone witness the true face of that ocean...
Even though, their consciousness once came from that ocean.
Their consciousness became more and more chaotic, and with the incomprehensible song that seemed to come from the great desolation of the universe, they were gradually smoothed out and became meaningless.
Those songs...
What are they singing?
γβ¦β¦γ
[Through the light and darkness of the universe, over the fast and slow moments, to the irrepressible void]
[Behind the curtain hidden in the layers of dimensions and universes, it is like a ubiquitous audience under the grand stage]
[On the stage, endless voices came from the dark world beyond time and imagination, resonating different civilizations and traces with blasphemy and great meaning]
[Tiny, blind, fragile creatures struggling below the dimension; Mighty, wise, great deities who overlook the world...]
And their souls, are the oceans.
At the moment when the voice was captured, even Pandora, who knew the secret of the true god, couldn't stop trembling.
At the same time, the "Helaire", whose head was slowly connected by countless hands, also opened her blue-gold dilated pupils again.
She lifted her hand and straightened the crown she had just put on, which was a little crooked.
Then, a familiar smile bloomed on her face.
And behind her, the shadow hidden in the darkness, as if hidden behind the curtain of depth, opened its mouth at the same time as her,
"And until then, let's get back to the question we had at the beginning..."
The question here is exactly what Pandora asked at the beginning, what exactly is "Helaire" or even "Tsuki"?
"In the parlance you can understand here..."
With a smile, Helaire stretched out his hand to Pandora and Lemuel, who were already half-covered in darkness in front of him, and responded to them,
"I'm [chaos]."
