25. Dead Line (21)
The moment the crimson light appeared in the field of vision, everyone immediately understood that "it was not an ordinary existence".
It is said to be understanding, but it is not a cognition obtained through intellectual observation and calculation. Rather, it is "something" that goes deeper into consciousness and goes straight to the root of the soul and injects the answer of "extraordinary" directly into one's own cognition. With just a glance, everyone already understood what kind of miracle it was, and many even shed tears of emotion.
It is the most famous miracle of all the anecdotes of the Holy Scriptures—that is, the execution of the Messiah.
After the betrayed savior, who had been betrayed for thirty silver coins, was crucified, the soldier in charge of the execution stabbed the savior in the flank with a spear to confirm whether the savior was dead. It is said that the soldiers who were splashed with the blood of the Messiah were convinced that the Messiah was the Son of God and were later baptized.
The soldier's name was Longinus, and the spear that pierced the Savior's body was called the Longinus Gun.
It is the only "sacred thing of the gods" recognized by the canonical and ecclesiastical theologians. For ordinary people, Longinus is synonymous with "killing gods".
Burning with a crimson light inferior to the fiery lava, spears descended from high in the sky and forcibly tore through energy turbulence and wind and lightning, and as they straightened forward, they brought the quiet sky back into the world.
- The Holy Scriptures Have Clouds:
Longinus, who was originally an executioner, saw the miracle that accompanied the death of the savior and embarked on the path of faith.
The crimson spear, while incredibly fast, is no faster than the speed of light, nor faster than the Wall of Sighs. The crimson light struck straight against the golden octagonal film.
- The Holy Scriptures Have Clouds:
When the Savior lost his life, before the eyes of St. Longinus, the sun lost its light, the rocks shattered, and the earth tore apart by sorrow.
Now, too.
A hydrogen bomb with an explosive yield of hundreds of millions of tons of TNT will not shake the "wall of sighs" at zero distance, and even God can only sigh in front of this golden wall.
At this moment, a crack flashed on the golden film of light that had withstood the impact of the Longinus gun.
Smack!
A roar like shattering glass resounded through the sky, and at this moment, the whole Rhine trembled, and the whole world was amazed.
The surface of the "Wall of Sighs", which was supposed to be able to withstand any energy and physical attacks, was crawling with spiderweb-like cracks, which began to seep into the next layer of the "Wall of Sighs" like a plant rhizome, and in less than a second, the cracks crawled all over all fourteen layers of the "Wall of Sighs", and the golden light film peeled off and collapsed like broken glass.
After breaking through the "Wall of Sighs", his speed and momentum did not decrease at all, and the red spear stabbed at full speed towards Li Lin, who was defenseless and did not dodge at all.
- Yes.
- This blow will work!
- Finally defeated the monster!
The age of God is coming to an end!
Countless people clenched their fists, and hundreds of thoughts turned into a cry from the same voice.
The cries of mixed joy and panic were transmitted and resonated throughout the world, and when they were about to turn into a loud bang that shook the trend of the times, time froze.
It's a metaphor and it's a reality.
Excitement, trance, reverence, tears of joy, joy – the emotion and shock of witnessing the miracle and witnessing the victory of man over the gods are transformed into thousands of expressions, and are about to turn into all kinds of shouts and dances. People's expressions were frozen in this moment.
It's not really time stopped. It's just that before people are about to usher in an unprecedented shocking historical moment, when they suddenly encounter a reversal picture that is too abrupt, even contrary to all the knowledge, theories, and even imagination they know, is staged in front of them, and the emotional processing function cannot accept this reality, causing the body to move out of order, and it looks as if it is frozen in that moment. However, the phenomenon that causes them to become like this is somewhat similar to the standing still of time.
The spear that shimmered crimson did not disappear, and the light that was redder than blood and deeper than dusk still shone in the Rhine sky.
The light was still the same, and the power did not diminish in the slightest, but it no longer advanced, hovering motionless less than three meters in front of Li Lin's forehead.
It was as if it had encountered an invisible wall and came to a sudden stop.
"Longinus guns. The miracle of killing gods. You really haven't disappointed me, if it's this miracle, once you stab the target, whether it's a god or a divine will, I'm afraid you will really die. But—"
The red pupils and the crimson spear complemented each other, and the handsome face raised a hint of a playful smile.
"No matter how powerful the attack is, it doesn't make sense if you can't hit. ”
Roland and the church knew what restrictions Li Lin was subjected to, and what tactical policies would be formulated in response to them—and as Roland had expected, Li Lin not only knew about it, but also incorporated it into his script.
It's easy to use strength to make people give in for a while, but after all, it's only for a while. Restraint with candy and whips can achieve relatively long stability, but eventually it will gradually fall out of order. If you want to completely manipulate people's hearts, no one dares to challenge the order, even if time passes. Only by absolute strength...... The power of God.
Through the live broadcast of this god-man showdown, the "absolute existence and power" will be shown to the world. When everyone is aware that "in front of the gods and their messengers, no matter how strong a human being is, is nothing more than an ant", "no matter what you do, you can't resist it", "no matter how hard you try, you can't change your subordinate position", and so on, when these concepts are deeply rooted in the heart and accepted as a phenomenon, the new order can stand still.
This is Roland's and the church's interpretation of the real purpose behind Li Lin. On a political and strategic level, their reasoning is entirely sound. If someone else is in their position, they may not be able to make any more intelligent inferences, not to mention discovering that the goals deduced above are just incidental additions to Li Lin, and the real goals are deeper and more fundamental things.
That's right, the real goal of this so-called "duel" is the group unconscious, which is becoming more and more awakened, the alayya.
Human beings as individuals, as group organizations, such as armies, countries, etc., are not a threat to Li Lin and the mother goddess. However, as the common consciousness of human beings and all intelligent life, it can be said to be the ultimate safety device born of the general will of intelligent life to avoid destruction and perpetuate the population. Once the Alayas are successfully activated, the strategies that have been constructed so far will be overturned, and Li Lin and the Mother Goddess behind him will have to choose whether to let go of the control of the world and coexist with the creation and its collective consciousness, or whether to cause great damage to the environment and purge the wisdom and re-turn all civilizations into a blank slate, all from scratch.
For the mother goddess, that kind of thing is by no means a complaint of "very troublesome".
Therefore, at a time when the Church is constantly stimulating the subconscious of the group to obtain miracles, it is necessary to take advantage of the current situation to spread the seeds of "inability to resist" to the greatest extent possible, and then re-seal the alaya, which has already shown signs of activating awakening.
Hence this "duel".
"As a final struggle, this is truly a masterpiece, and it has to be praised and applauded. ”
The applause and smiles knocked on everyone's hearts, and people who fell into frustration, despair, regret, and remorse did not realize that Li Lin's speech did not have a sense of ridicule, only the indifference of the truth.
This can be called a gamble on the fate of mankind, and it can indeed obtain the title of "masterpiece", after all, this blow not only completely broke through the "wall of sighs", but even forced out the trump card at the bottom of Li Lin's box.
It is a super problem that has plagued countless wise people, the product of the unremitting exploration of wisdom and possibility, and the attempt of human beings to evolve into gods, and it is also the posture of the gods that people have cultivated in their hearts in the form of concepts.
The Four Divine Beasts of Science - this is the nickname for these concepts.
Zeno's tortoise;
Schrödinger's cat;
Laplace Demon;
Maxwell Demons;
These four paradoxical concepts with the title of "Divine Beast" correspond to the second law of calculus, quantum mechanics, classical mechanics, and thermodynamics respectively, and the ability closely related to the "Four Divine Beasts" is Li Lin's trump card at the bottom of the box.
The one who trapped the Longinus gun was "Zeno's tortoise".
Zeno's tortoise, also known as Zeno's paradox. In the 5th century BC, Zeno, a famous mathematician and philosopher of the Elian school, proposed a series of paradoxes that were widely circulated. Among the most famous and frequently cited are "Achilles and the Turtle Race" and "The Arrow Doesn't Move". Both of these paradoxes are inextricably linked to time and space. Li Lin's ability is precisely the use of Zeno's paradox, with Li Lin as the center, the finite time within a radius of 3 meters is divided into infinity, and the movement of the object will appear static on the time axis of the determined direction.
Beams of light, rockets flying at hypersonic speeds, bullets that are discharged, and even miracles of killing gods—none of them can overcome this wall of time, only to be frozen in an infinite time division.
"Since you have worked hard to play the final trump card, it is too much to make this god-killing spear an ornamental piece. Besides, such an abuse of miracles is inappropriate, isn't it? There is also a passage in the Holy Scriptures that says that this generation is a wicked generation that asks for miracles, and there are no miracles for them except the miracles of Jonah (Luke 11:29). In that case, let me say-"
The slender palm of the hand is stretched forward, as if to hold the whole world in the hand, and it is gently grasped.
"God... play.dice)。 ”
Suddenly, with Li Lin as the center, a strong sense of distortion swept across the entire battlefield.
People other than Li Lin may think that it is a strong sense of disobedience that distorts the world.
In fact, on the contrary, from Li Lin's standpoint, it is the power to correct the distorted world.
One of the four trump cards, the Laplace Demon, is activated.
