Chapter 153: Judgment (Second Watch, Asking for a Guarantee)
Bang!
There was a loud cracking sound, and it was impossible to determine whether it was the body or something else, but Gehr could clearly feel that the spirit had been withdrawn from the body, and the huge tearing sensation from the soul suddenly smashed his consciousness into nothingness.
Suddenly, Gehr felt that his spirit was in a strange space, as if in the middle of a vast ocean, up and down, left and right, surrounded by endless waves.
If you look closely, the sea water is extremely red, like blood flowing from the body, and the strong smell of blood makes even Geer's thoughts almost stop here.
Gehr tried to maintain the clarity of consciousness, and looked into the distance, only to see that the ocean was incomparably wide, the water and the sky were connected, as if endless, and the huge waves were like a tsunami, constantly rolling up and beating on the surface of the water, each slapping was like slapping on Gehr's soul, and the sharp pain produced seemed to have no falsehood.
Suddenly, Gehr saw countless pairs of eyes appear in this sea of blood, staring at him in a stunned manner, which was terrifying.
At this moment, countless murmurs came from nowhere, and continued to rush into Gehr's consciousness, and became more and more like, like countless flies flying in the brain, and it was annoying to tear the whole head in half.
These murmurs grew louder and clearer, and finally turned into a roar that permeated heaven and earth, constantly impacting Geer's soul. By this time Gehr was able to discern the content of these voices, which were endless prayers, hopeful, desperate, joyful, and malevolent. But at the end of the day, these voices turned into a terrifying wave, as if it was about to tear Geral's soul into countless pieces.
Just when Gehr was barely able to resist. A cool energy suddenly surfaced, helping Gell block the endless torment.
Finally given a chance to breathe, Gehr lay on his back in a sea of blood. The heavy breathing was as unbearable as a bellows, and the weakness of his body made him feel like a newborn baby.
But Gehr didn't get much rest, and he didn't even have a chance to think about what was going on, the sea of blood seemed to be enraged by the energy that helped Gehr, and a huge power came from the sky, Gehr only felt as if there was some unknown existence in the endless void, opened his eyes and stared straight at him.
Suddenly, a monstrous wave that almost connected to the sky suddenly rose without pause. Mixed with boundless force, it pressed down on him.
At that moment, Gehr felt an endless fear welling up in his heart, and in the face of such boundless power, he was as small as an ant.
"You're guilty, you're guilty!"
At the moment when the huge wave was pressing, countless voices shouted in unison, and the sound penetrated the heavens and the earth, as if the entire world was judging Gehr.
This time. Even though the energy was protecting him, Gehr still felt an irresistible force pressing down on him like a mountain range, almost disintegrating his soul into countless pieces.
There was no way for him to escape this purely spiritual judgment, and the strong will and soul that had been tempered in countless battles were completely vulnerable to this kind of force. The struck were as full of holes as fishnets, pieces of souls were torn apart, and memories were read as if they were unguarded.
Started as a child by killing baby mutants in training. to the hunting of various mutated creatures, and then to the scenes of each killing. Whether it is the last world or this world, everything has appeared in front of you. Negative emotions such as confusion, guilt, resentment, and fear that were originally buried in the deepest part of the soul have been excavated. And it quickly expanded, turning into a guilt that weighed on him, and occupied almost his entire soul, making him want to bend his knees and confess his sins.
But the last glimmer of light in his heart makes him still maintain the last bit of clarity.
"No, I'm not guilty, I'm not guilty!"
Gehr roared out hoarsely, although it was insignificant compared to the sound of judgment that permeated heaven and earth, but every time he shouted out, he was a little firmer, which came from his persistence until now, no matter what the other party was, he could not be deprived.
It seems to have been enraged, the blood wave is even larger, the force carried is even greater, and the judgment is getting heavier and heavier. Every time a big wave hits, it is like tearing a piece from his soul, and a piece of memory is lost, this feeling of soul being Ling Chi makes him feel painful, this situation directly acts on the form he shows, and every time he is judged, he loses a part of his flesh and blood, and now it has turned into a bloody piece of flesh, and he can no longer see the appearance clearly.
"I'm not guilty, even if I turn to powder, I'm not guilty!" Gehr's soul was tumbling in pain, but he still howled loudly and unyieldingly.
Sin is a subjective self-perception, which can also be said to represent one's own cowardice, and when it is confessed, it already means that oneself has shown weakness. And for the strong, they will never be guilty, even if their body is destroyed, as long as they don't admit their guilt, then they won't lose mentally.
In this torture and judgment of the soul, all the parts that are not firm enough are stripped away one by one, and the confusion and confusion are dissipated, only the most firm wisp of faith in the heart, although it is getting weaker and weaker, is also becoming brighter and clearer.
His soul was shattered into countless pieces, flying wildly in this space, and Gehr could barely think, only instinctively shouting and fighting.
The unknown being became even more angry, and the crazy waves came towards Gehr again and again, and all the anger turned into boundless force and hit Gehr heavily, but the soul composed of faith became extremely strong, no matter how much it was suppressed, it could not be torn apart, but under the continuous impact, this soul became more and more pure and bright.
As time extended, the anger of the unknown existence accumulated to the highest point, and the entire sea of blood was suddenly lifted up, turning into an unprecedented wave in front of him, vowing to completely crush the stubborn soul.
Suddenly, Gehr felt the energy that had been helping him resist become more active than ever, and a huge silver light spread around his soul, as weak as silk. But he kept the monstrous waves out.
Bang!
A huge roar swept through the entire space, as if the entire world realm was shaking. For a moment, Gehr didn't feel anything.
When Gehr regained his sense of his surroundings, he heard the roar of anger and reluctance fade away. It was as if this unknown being had also been exhausted and could no longer afford to continue the trial.
Finally, the storm dissipated, the tide receded, and the heavens and the earth were empty, leaving only the soul crystal, which represented Gehr's most persistent and tenacious spirit, floating in the center of this space like the most brilliant transparent gem in the world, and around it were countless fragments of souls and memories floating like stars, slowly rotating around it, and the splendor was like a galaxy.
Open your eyes. Gehr found himself back on the battlefield, as if everything had been illusory, but the shattered fragments of the statue in his hands and the weakness of his body told him that it had all happened.
Gehr gasped slightly, trying to manipulate what appeared to be a rusty body to move, but the already spasmodic body was completely uncontrollable, and instead lost his balance because of his movements, and fell forward.
There seemed to be an exclamation in the distance, perhaps someone had spotted Gehr's condition. But the next moment Gehr's eyes went dark, and all consciousness fell silent.
......
"Accept our faith, O great god Slacna, and merge with your infinite divine power the fate of your most devout believers from suffering......
Outside the city of Merzai, the coalition camp.
In the makeshift prayer room, Archbishop Bovey is leading a large number of believers in a routine prayer.
Although pray with Bovey. But Ikar Khan still looked a little careless.
This act of pinning his fate entirely on the ethereal gods has always been unacceptable to the powerful Azure Lord, and for him, it began with this war. What did the gods do?
Determined to die, leave the Wayne Islands and traverse the vast Gantt Empire. It is not up to others to set foot in this strange land and to seize territory and wealth in constant battles. Rather, with the ingenuity and courage of his Ikar Khan, the evidence is that where his intellect cannot be taken into account, failure will also occur, such as Eliblock.
Although Ikar Khan thought so, he would not say it, after all, on the surface he was still a believer in the god Slarkna, and he would never miss the daily routine prayers, you must know that the power of the church of Srakna is still very helpful to him, and it is not worth falling out with Bovey, a guy with an abnormal brain, for this little thing.
And he doesn't like to mention those failures, after all, the first expedition to Eiliblok also had his consent, and the failure was inseparable from him, and now although the army has been sent to fight again, the news from the previous one said that it was not going well, so Ikar Khan felt that it was better to be more devout to the god Slav, after all, it was very useful in calming people's hearts, plus prayer could indeed make those soldiers more courageous, and sometimes the role of faith was still very important for this expeditionary force.
It's just that the soldiers below can ignore the trend of the war, but as the actual commander, he can't, and the unsmooth or even the failure of Eeribrok is likely to cause a series of reactions, and the most intuitive thing is that the local Haysting people who dare to resist will definitely get more after receiving this news that makes them encouraged, which is a very troublesome thing for them with weak rule.
Moreover, the threat of Eliblock is also increasing day by day, and if this campaign fails, the coalition forces will not be able to attack Eliblock again in a short period of time, and may be flanked by the enemy forces of Elibrock and Merzai, which makes Ikar Khan have to start thinking about whether he should retreat tactically.
However, it is not without good news, Gadaru, who has been in contact with the Gantt Empire, has brought good news, and in order to prevent this victory from slipping, the Gantt Empire is likely to increase its intervention.
Thinking of this, Ikar Khan decided to wait and send an envoy to communicate with the Gantt Empire to secure their assistance as soon as possible.
Just as Ikar Khan pondered his next move, a wave of exclamations filled with fear pulled his consciousness back to reality.
The powerful blue lord looked up at Archbishop Bovey beside him, but found that he usually punished those who disturbed the prayer by shouting and screaming, and he did not immediately stop and blame those who made exclamations, but looked ahead with a solemn face, stunned.
Ikar Khan followed Bovey's gaze and moved to the idol in front of him, and found that a clear crack had appeared in the originally intact idol that ran through the entire body, and it was slowly expanding over time......
A short time later, a series of cracking sounds were heard.
The statue, which was hundreds of years old and had remained intact, completely disintegrated and reduced to debris in front of its stunned devotees......
Ikar Khan instantly felt the cold sweat break out all over his body, and an inexplicable shiver spread throughout his body. Turning his head to look at Bovey again, he saw that his face was extremely hideous, the green tendons on the hand holding the scepter were bursting up, and there was all fire in those vicious eyes.
A thought immediately came to Ikar Khan's mind.
Oops. (To be continued......)
