Chapter 185: God's Choice, Champion, God's Hero (3-in-1)
"Winterβ"
"Winterβ"
"Winterβ"
The dull but deafening sound exploded like thunder in the ears of Lynn, who had just ascended the high platform.
He subconsciously looked towards where the voice had come from.
"That's ......."
The surrounding environment has changed at some point.
At the edge of the high platform, a group of strange creatures were beating a large drum about seven or eight meters high, and there were many creatures of different appearances and shapes around the edge of the high platform, and looked at Lynn with an extremely mocking gaze.
"It's human."
"Tsk, my lord is really eccentric. How can these little things of human beings stand here? β
"Presumptuous! How can the Lord's will be judged indiscriminately?! β
"Oh, it doesn't matter. It's just humans, and it's harder to crush a stone than to pinch them to death. β
β.......β
Lynn frowned slightly.
These creatures, he knows what they are.
Orcs, a creature that exists only in legends and textbooks, are now extinct.
The reason for the extinction is simple.
Orcs are strong and intellectually not inferior to most humans, the only thing that is weak is their relative fertility. And for this kind of creature similar to their own race, the human race, who is already the ruler of the continent, will not allow the hard-won status to be threatened.
Humans know very well what they made their fortune from, and orcs with wisdom obviously have the possibility of turning the tables around.
Therefore, humans simply slaughtered them all.
There may still be orcs on the continent, but definitely not under the sun.
The history and death of orcs are clearly recorded in human textbooks, but why, in front of Lynn's eyes, suddenly appeared in front of this long-extinct creature?
Yin Weite, where did you bring yourself?
"Winterβ"
Another deafening sound sounded, followed by an earth-shattering tremor.
"Boom-"
The platform, which is hundreds of meters long and wide, began to tremble under this loud noise, as if it might collapse at any moment.
Lynn managed to stabilize her form, catch her breath for a moment, and look at the source that had nearly collapsed the platform.
It was an orc about three or four meters tall, and if you count the horn on the top of its head, it might even be more than five meters tall.
It was pitch black, and the light shone on the scales covered by his skin, and it couldn't even turn a ripple, but it could only flow to the two half-moon scimitars it held with both hands, reflecting the cold light, making people feel cold all over the body.
"Humans."
The orc standing opposite Lynn suddenly spoke, and the sound was as loud as a hundred alchemical explosives exploding in Lynn's ears.
"My name is Gana Asadron, and thou shalt stand opposite me, and thou shalt be my adversary, and thou shalt be entitled to know my name."
Lynn's eardrums trembled at the "calm roar."
Even if you stand on the side when the bell rings in the big bell tower, it is not necessarily as loud as this.
Clenching his sword, Lynn didn't know if he should also report his name at this time, but the orc named Asadron seemed to see what he thought.
"I don't want to know the names of dead people." His blades crossed, and a sea of dark green eyes glistened with dazzling sparks, "If you are willing to celebrate me now, I may consider letting you leave a whole corpse." β
After Essadelon's words came out, Lynn hadn't spoken, and the surrounding people shouted loudly.
"Celebration? Humans deserve it too?! β
"That's it! Is it worthy of humanity to invoke the name of [Champion]? β
"It is only because of our Lord's mercy that our Lord has cast his eyes on him and made him a [God's chosen one], otherwise how can human beings coexist with us!
β
God's Chosen One, Champion?
Lynn, who had captured these two keywords, suddenly thought of something.
When he was looking for information about the god of Slaanesh, he had heard from Alyssa what these words meant.
"Do you mean .......?"
.......
"They're ....... Fight in the ring? β
Charlotte looked at the scene in front of her in a daze, not knowing what was going on.
Yin Weite glanced down at her, and then shook her head calmly: "You and other human beings, don't you even know what [Champion Gladiatorial Fight] is?" β
Charlotte looked confused: "Champion gladiatorial fight....... What is that? β
"Huh....... While I can recall it for the time being, I will talk to you. Yin Wei Te smiled, "Until then, you can know what the power of the gods is?" β
Why is the topic suddenly so high-minded....... Charlotte pinched the corner of her clothes, thought for a while, and said: "According to the book, the power of the gods will evolve into the rules of the world, like the goddess, she is in charge of the rise and fall of the stars and the moon. β
"Sort of." Yin Weite replied ominously, and then continued, "Most of the power of the gods is related to the rules of the world, but there are also types of them. β
"The guy Xiang Ru said, the power she holds is based on the underlying logic of the world, so her power is much higher than that of some gods, and the power of some gods is a part of the world."
"For example, the gods of plants, the gods of mountains and rocks, and....... The gods of living beings. β
"Among them, I ....... The 'four evil gods' you are talking about are more special beings among the creatures. β
When talking about the "evil god", Yin Weite's forehead jumped obviously, but it quickly returned to normal.
"They are of the same origin, they are all gods of intelligent beings, and most of their powers come from intelligent beings."
Charlotte said thoughtfully, "So, that's why the legends say that the 'Four Evil Gods' always favor humans?" I thought it was because humans were more ....... Bad? β
Yin Weite glanced at her and shook her head: "The word good and bad is just a definition made by human beings such as you and others for themselves, and in the world, there has never been a good or bad word. β
"I favor human beings just because the number of human beings is growing fast, and the growth rate is amazing, and with that kind of exclusion, other intelligent creatures are squeezed out."
"......." Charlotte choked, scratched her head, and asked, "So, what is this and what you just said....... Does God's Chosen Ones matter? β
Yin Weite smiled and did not answer directly, but asked: "Are there many wars in your human history?" β
Charlotte was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately.
But anyone who has spent some time reading will affirm this fact.
Because the history of mankind is essentially a history of war.
Yin Weite asked again: "Then, are they all wars fought for the purpose of squeezing out foreign races?" β
Charlotte hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
Although I don't want to admit it, after mankind became the hegemon of the continent, more than ninety percent of the wars were brought about by internal power struggles.
"It's a very normal thing." Yin Weite said, "As long as it is a living being, it will have its own territorial consciousness, and intelligent creatures will amplify this consciousness, and because of their own desires, they want to further expand their territory." β
"So, you think, as the gods of intelligent creatures, will they have such a territorial consciousness?"
"Huh??" Charlotte was shocked, "You mean, the gods will also grab territory and still fight?" β
"Nothing else, but the 'four evil gods' have to be said separately." Yin Weite said, "They are in the same source, which means that the same origin is divided into four parts, and everyone gets only one part of the original, and it can't even be said that it is divided into a quarter fairly." β
"That's why they're all trying to kill their 'siblings' with their own hands, and get back all the things they 'ought to have'βso it's foolish for you and other humans to coexist with these four."
"People are all enemies of life and death."
At this point, a trace of coldness flashed in Yin Weite's eyes.
The coldness flickered, and Yin Weit continued: "However, due to the restrictions of the higher rules, the gods cannot personally participate in the dispute, so they can only drive their respective believers to act. β
"βAs long as all intelligent beings are under their command, the other three will be vulnerable due to their lack of power."
After a pause, she said: "You and other human beings should have recorded at the beginning of history, it was a broken world, and it was very difficult for you human beings to survive. β
Charlotte nodded seriously: "Yes, I remember the book said that it was called ....... at that time Age of Chaos? β
"Almost, if you use the language of other creatures, it's called 'Chaos War'." "In this war, the four gods drove their followers to occupy the four corners of the continent, and all intelligent beings were born to exist to become weapons of war. β
"As gods, they can't personally participate in this dispute, but there are no rules to restrict them, and they can't add some weapons to the weapons of war."
"And so, the Chosen One appeared."
"The Chosen One is a creature under the hands of the four gods who are watched and blessed by the gods. They are usually more special and more powerful than ordinary people in terms of combat effectiveness. β
"However, there is never more than one chosen one, and there may be many creatures in a tribe that are under the gaze of the gods, and if you want to rule this tribe, you need to compete."
Yin Weite raised his chin and stared at the huge ring in front of him: "So, the gladiatorial fight began." β
"In the gladiatorial battles of the Chosen One, the creatures that survive will be blessed by a more powerful god, and from now on, they will lead their tribes and conquer all directions."
"And these victors are the [Chosen Champions], and those creatures who are ruled will be honored as [Divine Heroes]."
"Their winning prize is a blessing from a god that is more powerful than the original God's chosen blessing."
"Divine Venerable....... Hero ......." Charlotte whispered the title, suddenly realizing something, and raised her head, "So, Lynn ........ now"
"Yes." "He's on the other side of the arena right now, fighting for that position." β
Charlotte's face changed drastically: "How can it be!
β
Although Lynn's strength is really good among the students of Lyin Academy, it is not enough to look at it outside Lyin Academy, just in Catalina.
Not to mention, a battle for the top of a tribe!
Just looking at the appearance of the orc in front of him, such a big one, and the knife in his hand is longer than theirs, it doesn't look like a freshman can solve it!
Although she knew that Lynn was very powerful and thought that he could solve many things that she couldn't solve, as long as she was a human being, she had a ruler in her heart to measure.
This kind of gap is almost like a moat, no matter how much faith and trust you have, you can't make up for it!
If you can defeat an opponent who is stronger than yourself with chicken blood alone, then who is not a chicken soup master!
In this regard, Yin Weite only said: "Why not? β
"Could it be that you think it is more glorious to die at the hands of the man outside than to die in the ring chasing glory?"
"Huh?" Charlotte asked, "The guy out there....... And who? β
"It's the one who plunged you into an illusion."
"....... in the illusion," Charlotte's eyes widened, "Eh!
β
Lynn had told her about Enoch, but ......
"We, aren't we in the exams arranged by the Academy? How did that guy, that guy get in?! β
"Who knows." Yin Witt spread her paws, "However, where we are now, you should know." β
With a wave of her palm, the world suddenly changed again.
Charlotte looked around in a daze.
Now, they seem to be in a hollow, with strange formations painted on the ground and broken murals painted on the dome.
"Here...... How....... Changed back? β
Yin Weite did not answer this question, but said: "This place is probably your human ....... After the disappearance of the gods, the ruins were discovered, and the believers gathered together to build a gathering place. β
"Due to the damage to the human heritage, they can no longer know the history of the past, so they have the same idea as you."
"βThey felt that the four gods were of the same origin and should be worshipped together."
"So, they used this place as their 'ancestral hall', and painted the murals of the four gods on the dome and juxtaposed them."
"But they don't know that this area is once ....... The region led by the Supreme Lord, the Most Benevolent, the Most Good, and the Most Powerful, has even had wars. β
Yin Weite looked up at the dome: "The only two remaining murals still remain, which shows who is in dispute with whom. β
Charlotte looked up with her.
At this moment, the murals were no longer as clear as they had seen at the beginning, but had new lines, as if they had been re-depicted.
However, in terms of color, the sharpness of the armored warrior holding the warhammer is far better than that of the mural that looks like a demon.
After observing for a moment, Charlotte seemed to have an understanding.
"So, it's the god of pleasure, who lost, didn't he?"
β.......β
Yin Weite's forehead jumped unconsciously.
Taking a deep breath, she recalls the illusion and turns the conversation back on track.
"The victorious side planted the scepter representing their gods in the conquered land to suppress the remnants of the enemy's divine power, and the man outside took the scepter, which means that he will inevitably be harassed and eventually make him abandon the faith he originally hadβno, it should be said, just let him really go to the other side."
Charlotte still didn't understand: "So, will this and Lynn ....... What does it matter. β
"Naturally, it has a relationship." Yin Weite said, "All believers, none of them want to be the chosen ones, although you and other knowledge and information inheritance are missing, but the one outside obviously knows this." β
She looked at Lynn in the ring.
"Before, when I was around, he hoped to lead the rest of his companions into the abyss of desire in exchange for the gaze of the Lord of Pleasure, but after taking the scepter, his faith changed, and naturally he will not continue to pursue his original goal."
In the past, whether it was to induce others or to form a brilliant council, it was an action carried out with the aim of gaining the attention of Slaanesh.
However, after obtaining the scepter belonging to the [Sad] side, his faith was directed by another force, causing him to favor the [Blood God] belief that he already had.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible for him to take action with the goal of his original pursuit.
"So, that person, from wanting to be the Chosen of Slaanesh, to wanting to be the Chosen of Sadism........ Is that the case? "Charlotte seemed to see everything.
Yin Weiwei nodded, and shook her head again: "You can remember the illusion you fell into. β
Charlotte nodded blankly.
"The illusion is made up of the power of pleasure, but its purpose is not to achieve pleasure." Yin Weite said, "His purpose is to make that kid also become [Sadistic Divine Choice]." β
"Although I don't know what happened to you in the illusion, I think there should be a lot of killings. And the way to become [Sadistic God's Choice] is as simple as it gets. β
"Killing, endless killing, killing a hundred if one person is not enough, and killing ten thousand if a hundred is not enough; Slaughter a tribe, sweep a city-state, destroy a country - as long as there is enough blood on the sword, sooner or later it will be noticed by that guy. β
Yin Weitt's calm but bloody words made Charlotte stunned.
She thought back to everything that happened in the illusion, and it was indeed as Yin Weit said.
In the first illusion, Lynn killed hordes of guards; In the second illusion, Lynn killed the Knight Leader even though he avoided a killing spree.
After these few times, there is really a lot of blood on Lynn's hands.
But.......
Charlotte hurriedly said, "That's an illusion, is it also counted?!" β
"Why not?" Yin Weite said coldly, "After all, it is in the realm of the Lord of Pleasure. β
"The realm of the Lord of Pleasure ......."
Charlotte then remembered that Lynn had told her that the illusion was indeed composed of the power of desire.
But....... Why?
Why did that guy make Lynn the Sadistic Chosen One?
"Huh."
Yin Weite looked at the ring, and Charlotte also subconsciously followed her movements.
Then, she understood.
Enoch's purpose is more than just the Chosen One.
If only Yin Nuok became the Chosen One, then he could only be the Chosen One.
Thousands of years have passed since the Chaos Era, and the four gods have long been out of news and have been named evil gods.
But if Lynn is also nurtured to be the Chosen One, it will be different.
The disparity in strength can basically make him grasp the victory, and as long as he wins, he can get a stronger blessing.
At that time, he was the [Champion of the Chosen Gods of Cruelty] and the [Divine Hero]!
And with the more powerful power in his control, the belief of the believer in the God of Blood, plus the rights he already has, what will happen to the Kingdom of Yin when the time comes.......
Charlotte didn't want to think about it anymore.
"Still, that kid did a good job."
Velvet's voice brought Charlotte's thoughts back on track.
"Not bad?"
"Not bad." Yin Weite said, "He was not pulled down into the deep sea by the desire to kill, and still had his own will, so that guy's plan should have failed." β
"But, if one plan fails, he still has another plan."
"I just said that this area is a former battlefield, and the battlefield has never been a one-man show of one party."
"The one outside took away the original 'flag' and unleashed the power of pleasure again, and although it was plundered somewhat, some remained. If he, who already has the faith and power of joy, comes into contact with it, it will inevitably resonate with him. β
"At that time, he is very likely to achieve the Chosen One of the other side-[Slaanesh's Chosen Choice]."
After a pause, Yin Weite raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Killing the enemy's chosen one is not a kind of 'glory'."
"Original....... Is that so....... Oh no! Charlotte suddenly realized something, "He, he, does he actually believe in evil gods?!"
οΌ β
Yin Weite's eyelids jumped violently again.
She pressed her left paw against her right paw and took a deep breath to calm herself.
If it weren't for the fact that this idiot was sheltered by another god, she would have wanted to claw........
"Huh?" After the initial shock, Charlotte didn't have any problems with Lynn's belief in Slaanesh, but said a little strangely, "It should be easier to use the remnants of power here, then why did he .......?"
"Huh." Yin Weite sneered, "Do you think the Chosen One is called the Chosen One?" β
"Because the gods have chosen the characters, they represent more than themselves."
"βThe gladiatorial battle between different camps is also a confrontation between gods and gods."
"I see, I see." Charlotte understood.
Compared with the simple gladiatorial battle of the same camp, the confrontation of different camps will obviously be much more troublesome, and the gaze of the gods may also bring some unnecessary factors to affect the result.
In front of the gods, there is no difference whether it is the first order or the third order.
"So, so you're helping him become the Chosen One, and then allowing him to get the help of the gods........" Charlotte was just about to analyze it in a serious way, when suddenly she felt that something was not quite right.
The place in front of them is a ring-like venue, and it doesn't seem that there is a need for gladiatorial fighting to simply become the chosen one.......
Charlotte's eyes widened again.
Yin Weite smiled and bowed her head.
"Yes."
"I want him to be a champion, to be the only one of them now."
"Divine Heroes."
