Chapter 388: Lesson
Only a few seconds after Theseus's words fell, the huge "ball" that almost filled Huge's vision took on a new transformation.
The rich color of life continued to pour out from the depths of the sphere, but in just a few seconds, these strange colors had completely filled it, and then Xiuge saw that countless translucent soft tentacles had been extracted from these flowing "oil paints".
The difference in the size of these tentacles is striking, and given the size of the "Charon" itself, some of the smaller tentacles may not be much different from the "Kalon Touch" possessed by Shug, but some of them are as thick as trees or buildings, and even worse, their size is probably close to that of a mountain.
In the face of such changes, the small figure kneeling on the calm sea did not make any more movements.
It was as if she had become a sculpture devoid of thoughts and emotions, and without the slightest change from the outside world.
Probably very satisfied with the "obedience" shown by his divine choice, the slightly smaller translucent tentacles leaned in the direction of Mel, and Shug saw that these tentacles touched Mel's body very carefully and gently, and then the rainbow color that symbolized life extended from the inside of these tentacles and began to circulate and flutter around Mel's body.
This process of examination lasted for a long, long time.
Mel didn't move, she still knelt quietly in place, just waiting for the god in front of her to scrutinize.
Finally, the inspection is over.
Calon didn't notice anything unusual in her chosen Substitute, and although she was about to face the fate of being devoured, Mel didn't seem to have any opinion on the matter, as if she had made herself a sacrifice to the gods, or ...... Is it a toddler who has returned to his mother's arms?
As a result, the tentacles coiled around them swarmed up, and like silk threads, they wrapped Mel's body layer by layer, forming a huge "cocoon", and then they began to shrink inward, slowly moving Mel in the direction of Calron.
Hug paid a little attention to Theseus' state at this time.
However, in the face of such a situation, the deity, who bears the name of "myriad faces" and "conspiracy", behaves extremely calmly, and Theseus even has time to "explain" to Xiuge.
"Look, He's actually very cautious, isn't he?"
Theseus said with a smile: "Actually, since the beginning of his birth, Charon has taken a completely different path from the other gods that have appeared in Vana, all the believers, all the followers and the dependents, in fact, are all part of Him, and after a long period of expansion and countless devouring and fusion, He has become infinitely close to perfection. ”
"According to you, is he not ......"
"Yes, invincible!"
Theseus screamed in a very wicked way, and it seemed that the picture in front of Hugh made him feel good, although his own state was not too optimistic at this time, but it also allowed Theseus to return to his original "fun" mentality.
"But...... As I said, He is not truly perfect, but only infinitely close. ”
Theseus smiled and said, "Even in the face of his own chosen and substitute, Calron's wisdom will make him show twelve points of vigilance, but in the face of those pure forces that have been cut off from himself, he will become ...... Oh, negligence, or rather, he doesn't care at all, because in Calon's cognition, he has absolute authority in the concept of life, and no existence can affect him. ”
At this time, on the surface of the sea below, the huge Lord of the Sea had already dragged the "loyal" god into his body, and it seemed that the woman who later became the god of magic seemed to have returned to the embrace of the community of life.
But in the next moment, things changed dramatically.
In the color of life that was constantly flowing on the huge sphere, an extremely dazzling dark color suddenly appeared, like thick ink dripping into a body of clean water, and in an instant, it stained the area near itself.
The Lord of the Sea began to tremble, and the otherwise endless calm sea set off huge waves in an instant, and the whole world trembled with it, and a heavy, long murmur came from within the flowing color of life.
Hug stared at the gloomy color that was spreading in Calron, and now, without Theseus's explanation, he could find a strong sense of familiarity in it.
There is no doubt that the power that is constantly "infecting" the color of life around him is none other than Theseus himself.
At this time, Karon had already begun to deal with this "unexpected situation", and he tried to completely remove these foreign "pollutants" with a purer and stronger life force, and at the same time tried to completely "cut off" the parts that had been destroyed.
However, this attempt has no effect at all.
Although it had only been a short time since Calon devoured Mel, that terrifying deep color had penetrated deep into the heart of the Lord of the Sea.
Xiuge finally couldn't help but ask, "How the hell did you do it?" ”
"We've been planning this since the day I called her a mentor."
Theseus said slowly, "And the inspiration for this plan comes from me...... Oh, you should remember the image I saw in my memory before, right? Remember how I came to Vane? ”
"To be honest, it was very chaotic...... It looked like he had suddenly left the abyss and 'fallen' down. ”
"It's not too much."
Theseus laughed: "I was originally a 'seed', a 'seed' born in countless abyss hunts, and what created me was the memories and emotions of those prey that were culled, in fact, in the Abyss court, other attendants are also similar to me, but I am special, my concentration is much higher than that of my kind, and even the hounds don't like me very much, so I was selected." ”
Hearing this, Xiuge suddenly thought of something, and he asked, "The Abyss Court threw you into Van En in the original order for you to 'poison' Charon?" ”
"Well, it's not rough."
Theseus highly affirmed Hugh's conjecture: "It's just that Calon doesn't eat all 'garbage', at least like me, he won't look at it when he puts it to his mouth, so there are those things that follow." ”
"'Unity', what a powerful force...... In the face of such existence, we have no way to find a gap from the outside, and we cannot find any way to defeat or expel it, so there is only one option left. ”
"Let yourself be a seed that destroys it from within."
Xiuge looked straight down, and the huge gods formed by the "unity" of countless community wills and countless life forces trembled and struggled in his boundless sea, and under the effect of that black poison, those combined wills that he had relied on so much in the past began to fall apart.
"My mentor...... In your words, she is definitely a 'genius', a 'genius' that has no precedent and cannot be reproduced. ”
Speaking of Mel, Theseus's voice was cold and playful, and he became like a living person, an ordinary person who was describing one of his old friends in a gentle tone.
"As the chosen one of Calon, she is the only being who can truly understand and transform that power, and these powers that she has transformed and re-functioned have become the 'magic' that you later know."
"To achieve this, I became part of her, and she became part of Karon...... In this way, Calon swallowed the 'poisons' that he would never have touched in the past, and from that moment on, the wills that constituted him began to separate from each other, and although they were still part of the great life force, they could no longer merge. ”
Like an artist who admires his masterpiece, Theseus's voice was filled with satisfaction, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
In the next moment, the voice that had entered Shugg's ears changed again.
Shuge heard a pure, gentle female voice, so pleasant, but a little vague, like an echo from a distant dream.
"Take a closer look, even if what you see now is far less than it was then, but it may be an important lesson for you."
……
"A terrible poison flows within my subject...... We fell apart, and the inexplicable hostility filled the consciousness of the community, so we began to attack each other and devour each other, as if we had become those stupid clans of the land in the past......"
"It's like...... You are so-so. ”
As he recounted his past experience, the voice of the messenger of the colony, made by the representative of the Sea Clan, was extremely sad.
At this time, the conference hall was already silent.
Everyone's face tensed, the scholars had given up the mage's hand completely, and they had chosen to record these terrible and bizarre messages by their own hands, and the distant picture painted by the messengers of the hordes was truly terrifying and surprising.
Behind them, the mages who had come from the Legislature had solemn faces, either staring at the figure floating in the sea, or pinching their magic books, ready to turn their faces completely - as the most loyal believers of the goddess Mel, they simply could not endure this level of attack and slander, and being able to continue to remain calm and rational at this moment was already their biggest concession.
As the spokesperson who has been communicating with the heralds, Meyer maintains the most basic calm.
He looked around and looked carefully at the mages who were trying to restrain their emotions, and then Meyer asked the question that existed in everyone's mind in his slightly hoarse voice.
"As you say, the goddess Mel was already completely 'one' with your gods, so is she already with the 'Lord of the Sea'...... Demise? ”
However, the messenger of the community immediately gave a negative answer: "My Lord is not dead...... Our existence is proof of that! ”
As if it had been touched by an emotion that it should not have, the humanoid covered in hard scales suddenly moved forward, pressed its face and body against the glass, and a gloomy voice came out of the mouth of the representative of the Sea Clan: "In order to continue the existence of the community, in order to continue the purity of our will...... Our Lord finally renounced 'oneness,' and as the betrayer had wished, the tide began to retreat, and the great thing that should have been accomplished came to an end! ”
"And she, the traitor who poured her evil thoughts into us, took advantage of my lord's slumber to devour my lord's body, devour the divided communities, and plunder the power of the seas...... So the name of Calon fell into the deep sea, and the false god of Er's returned to land with everything that did not belong to her! ”
Mayer listened to all the words of the other man very quietly, and then he fell into deep thought.
The thought lasted for a few minutes, and then Mayer looked up.
Somewhat tiredly, he nodded to the herald behind the glass, "I guess I understand what you mean...... But for now, I need to be away for a while, after all, I'm just the host of this meeting, and I can't make big decisions on my own. ”
“…… The landwalkers are cut off from each other, as it is. ”
The humanoid smiled sarcastically: "Go, the group can wait, wait and quarrel......"
Meyer didn't care about these ridicules, he grinned politely, then turned his head and glanced at several important people such as Scholar Legel, so everyone immediately picked up their records and retreated towards the outside of the venue.
Soon, the crowd was in another large room adjacent to the venue.
In this special place, which has been hidden and protected by countless ritual fields and secret rituals, representatives of various countries and forces have begun to "interact" fiercely - they have already obtained first-hand information through magical rituals and the records sent to them, and as the messenger of the group said, these news have caused them to quarrel irrepressibly.
Several other core members of the Dawn Society, including Darthville, were also present, and they were at the center of the debate.
Darthville's ability to debate has always been astonishing, and now, the unassuming man was almost on the edge of a chair or a table, waving his freshly wounded arm while mercilessly lashing out at the officials across from him who had proposed to hand over "Hug Ernst" as a "condition of cooperation," with a harsh language that almost brought the opposing royal family and government into the attack.
Looking at the restless and absurd scene in front of him, Meyer coughed heavily.
