25. Dead Line (Twenty-Five)

Hydra.

One of the most fierce monsters in Greek mythology, his ferocity may even surpass that of many brothers and sisters, including the watchdog of Hades, Cerberus, and chase him (who can lock Zeus in a small dark room and beat the gods of Olipia to the point that he dare not go home, this ferocity index is also the father of the monster in Greek mythology, the titan god and the mother earth have never done this). During the hunting career of Hercules, who had problems with both IQ and EQ, the hydra (as to whether Hydra was a dragon or a snake is actually debatable.) In ancient Western sayings and mythology, snakes and dragons are often the same thing, and Hydra, who appears in the movie "Percy Jackson and the Thief of Fire", is closer to a dragon than to a snake. ) is the only monster he needs help to take down. And in the end, the big brute also died under Hydra's venom. It can be said that this monster with nine heads had the last laugh.

In addition to Greece, all countries in the world have the legend of the hydra or the nine-headed dragon, for example, there is a totem of the hydra god Naga in the ancient architecture of Cambodia, and there is also a legend of the hydra in ancient China, that is, the ancient fierce god Xiangliu and the nine-headed snake and nine babies. In Christian culture, there is a seven-headed snake that is an enemy of God, Japan also has an eight-headed snake, and India's god of a thousand snakes, Shesha, simply has more than a thousand heads (this is a flower arrangement, combined with the tradition of stacking Arhats on the Sange motorcycle, it is not incomprehensible...... )。 It can be said that since ancient times, the giant multi-headed dragon or snake has been a lingering nightmare in people's hearts, which can be called a symbol of great disaster.

Li Lin's second battle form is precisely a huge nine-headed dragon. With no hands and claws, no body, and no wings, the sleek and shiny black crystals form a strange shape that resembles a combination of a dragon's head and an octopus's wrists and feet, and 9 pairs of blood-colored eyes staring at the beings below.

What makes people feel dizzy and even intimidated more than the shape is the sheer size of the size. Nine dragon heads spread flat on the ground will form a radial pattern covering an area of 15 kilometers in diameter, any dragon head raised its head, it will rush up to a height of 4~5 kilometers, separated by dozens of kilometers, people can also see the black giant pillar piercing into the clouds - in the face of such a huge size, people can only feel fear and despair.

There are many ways to make people frightened by shocks, and the most direct and effective means is to show the difference in size between the two sides.

For example, no one thinks of ants, rats, and the like as absolutes far above them. These are just objects that can be trampled on and destroyed at will, and they cannot be associated with the concept of "absolute power" at all.

As an "embodiment of great power" that can be easily understood, God or God's agent must finally appear on the stage with a gigantic image in order to be easily accepted.

A light step can cause the ground to collapse and mountains and rivers to shatter;

Casual use of hands and feet can cause towering skyscrapers to fall to the ground and turn into rubble;

The most ordinary breath is like a howling wind and thunder to a small human being;

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, people always look for this kind of easily understandable and overwhelming power in the gods. In order to convince yourself to accept an unreasonable and unfair fate calmly - in front of God, you are just one of billions of dust, and God does not treat any dust in particular, so it is reasonable to accept the mercy of fate.

It is this overwhelming gap that people seek that is enough to make them die.

In that sense. Li Lin, who shows the second form, is probably the most veritable idol.

I'm afraid it's also the most powerful and perfect idol in the whole world.

Towering over the earth, the nine-headed dragon is the perfect interpretation of all the elements that people ask for in the gods.

Everyone held their breath and looked up at the nine-headed dragon in a coiled ball. In the face of the fact that it is too large and outrageous, people can only be overwhelmed.

In the next moment, the dragon's head was held high—

Whoop !!!Whoop Who

The roar shook the world.

The entire Rhine front was in a storm.

Leaving aside the few who prepared for the shock in advance, the vast majority of the survivors had no spare time to respond, and were exposed to the storm.

Before the strong wind, the transparent wall, the shock wave, pressed over, and the soldiers and clergy who were caught off guard were catapulted into the air. For a moment, the sound of the wind roaring, wailing and crying, equipment, trees and human bodies shattering, and the earth being torn apart was chaotic in all directions. Before the visceral impact could reach the ground, the people vomited blood and pieces of their internal organs and died.

This is something that happens in an instant. As the name suggests, with the Hydra as the center, within a radius of 50 kilometers, almost all the people who tried to make enemies of Li Lin were wiped out.

Of course, quite a few of them still survived, and some still retained the physical strength to fight. But the vast majority of them, roughly 100,000 people, either lost their lives on the spot or lay on the ground, spitting blood and screaming. The survivors couldn't even stand up, let alone take up arms and continue fighting. Even if they were to get up and take up arms, they would not be able to face an enemy who was too outrageous, and no commander would drive his men to commit such senseless suicide.

Pointless. It really doesn't make any sense at all.

The blow that was extremely powerful in the eyes of the crowd was at most a yawn when Li Lin got up now—just this level of action was already a deadly threat to a humble human being.

Now he can indeed be called the apostle of the theocracy.

The surface of the pitch-black dragon began to glow with a dark red light, and the smoke and haze that obscured the sky were swept into the vortex of the atmosphere, and the massive body slowly but surely began to leave the ground.

The massive body of the nine-headed dragon swirled with incredible dexterity as it floated, and the nine dragons with a majestic roar flew into the sky with the dazzling sunlight on their backs, casting a terrifying shadow onto the ground and into the hearts of the people.

This is probably the picture that best matches the main goal of "declaring theocracy". It is full of overwhelming power and beauty, and at the same time has an unrealistic sense of fantasy. It seems to be a wordless statement that the miracles of human ingenuity and even prayer are nothing more than Erer, and with the support of absolute power, the era of the new order is coming, and no one can change this certain future, and no one can get rid of the domination of the new order.

The pupils of the eyes that flashed red moved slightly.

With just such a simple action, people have the illusion that they are being stared at, and subconsciously shrink their bodies. In fact, everyone knows that the behemoth doesn't pay much attention to a certain ant at its feet, let alone intersect with the ant's line of sight. However, it is precisely because of the unreasonable huge physique and sense of existence that people still can't help but have the illusion that they are being targeted, and from this unspeakable horror is born.

As if to see through the crowd's fear, the dragon's red pupils shrank slightly, and from a distance it looked like it was mocking the cowardice and stupidity of humans.

“...... Listening. ”

Suddenly, the voice rang out.

The dragon didn't open its mouth to speak, and a majestic voice rang out in everyone's heads at the same time.

"All living beings and all things, listen quietly. ”

The large-scale communication of brain quantum waves that are not aimed at specific objects resounded throughout the world again, and the world fell silent after the undeniable and unquestionable voice came.

Most people were subservient to that absolute power and existence, while a small number of people wanted to know what Li Lin wanted to say.

"It's come to this point, and the next sentence is either a declaration of victory or an execution line like 'Hurry up and die for me' and 'I won't let you die too easily'. ”

Giel sighed softly.

The winner gives the loser what he wants is one of the rules of war that have been agreed since ancient times, and now that all the trump cards of mankind have been exhausted, Li Lin can still easily take them, and now is the best time to declare the world into a new order and establish authority by torturing and killing the rebels.

After all, Li Lin was about to rule the world on behalf of a new order, and there was no other being who had the practical power to exercise this power. Any objection will be rejected and will be completely eliminated. Issuing one or two declarations of terror announcing a despotic entry into autocracy is not a big deal for him at all.

It was not that no one thought that Li Lin would say something like "those who surrender will not die", but this coincidental inference was quickly overturned by themselves.

Instead, they and Li Lin were replaced, and it was also impossible to miss the excellent opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate the roots and do it once and for all. How is it possible to be generous and give a potential threat a way to live?

"I am the agent of God's will, and I will punish the treacherous who rebel against the gods according to the law of the Mother God, and destroy the seeds of calamity. That's all I want to do. ”

As the proclamation spread around the world, the expressions of Roland, Ji El, Spider and others froze on the spot.

"Actually...... Actually came to this hand. That bastard......"

The spider gritted its teeth and muttered, its trembling voice mixed with the cacophony of teeth clashing against each other.

Threats really cannot be left alone, and there is no reason to miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Merely.

You don't have to do everything yourself.

In many cases, the most effective way to get rid of pests and pests is not to kill them one by one, but to drive them into a desperate situation where there is no food or not enough food to feed the whole group, and let them kill each other for the chance to survive. It would be best if all the pests were killed together, and even if a few survived, it would be relatively easy to get rid of a few scarred ants.

This is true for pests, and it is true for people.

In order to survive, or even just to move oneself back in the execution queue, one can easily betray anyone—close friends, blood relatives...... Even idols that were once relied on and worshipped as pillars.

"As a repentance of one's own folly, as a sign of renewed oath of allegiance to the gods, O son of man, offer the head of Jean de Dahl. This is the only way for you to be saved. ”

The sound that resounded throughout the world was calm and natural, without the slightest haze of malice.
