Chapter 20 The King of Eye Demons!
Greenless touched a mechanism on the ground, and a huge stone moved away, revealing a hole.
Since we have arrived here, of course there is no possibility of retreat. They walked in cautiously, and Greenless, a wanderer, walked in front. Will followed him, while Megsy and Anna leaned close to Will, and the vampire girl walked at the end. In order to illuminate, Meiji made a photosphere float above their heads.
The tunnel goes diagonally down, and there is moss everywhere.
After walking for a while, they suddenly stopped. A cave appeared in front of them, and this cave was very strange. The interlaced halo is woven together as if it were a huge fishing net. The sacredness faintly broke into their hearts with a strange breath, as if to remind them that they could not move on.
Will stretched out his foot and tried to step forward, but the light strips suddenly rolled up, entangling them all and dragging them straight in. Meiji was shocked. He tried to use magic to help everyone leave, but the light strips had a strange power that devoured the magic in his body.
Not only him, but also Will. Although Will keeps swinging the hammer, those light bars can't be broken. And Greenless will not have any magic or magic, and there is naturally nothing he can do in this case.
Zhi Na wanted to become a bat and escape, but he couldn't do it.
They are all helpless... except Anna!
With Anna's prayer, a light wave flashed and turned into a blue sphere to cover everyone. Those light strips all retreated and returned to their original appearance. The blue sphere slowly floated inside with them.
The light and shadow change, and the surrounding scene has changed dreamily!
They found themselves in a charming world, with blue mixed with black spots on their heads and golden sand under their feet. Many human-shaped things floated in front of them, crying and pleading, as if they were suffering. In these human-shaped things, countless pictures flashed, like ever-changing things reflected in a twisted mirror.
"What are these?" Anna couldn't help asking. The crying of those shadows made her feel uncomfortable.
"The soul!" Meiji was silent for a moment before answering faintly, "I finally understand why people who ate the potion disguised as psychedelic powder lost their eyes. The eyes are the window of the soul. When they die, I don't know what has detained their souls here and brought their inner world here.
"They are pitiful..." Anna whispered, "I think I can help them!"
"There is no need for that," Greenless just said coldly. "Only empty-hearted people will smoke psychedelic powder. Even if such people die, there is no need to sympathize with them."
Anna opened her mouth, obviously disagreeing with Greenless. It's just that the girl has never been good at expressing her opinions, but she still didn't say it.
Meggie took her little hand: "Let's see where it is first."
Anna nodded quietly.
They walked forward together, and those souls were still flying around them, making sad and inexplicable sounds.
"Do you feel it," Will suddenly said, "this place seems to be a little familiar?"
Meggie and Anna looked at each other and couldn't help nodding together. Greenless also showed a confused expression. Only Zhina looked at them confusedly.
Suddenly, all the souls retreated in panic, and a huge creature appeared in front of them. It was a dark brown eye demon, even several times the size of the real body.
"Who are you?" There was a harsh sound in the blood of the giant eye demon. "Dare to break into my divine realm."
The Divine Realm?!
Meggie and others looked stunned. Is this actually a divine realm?
"Who are you?" Meiji looked up at it.
The giant-eyed demon laughed wildly: "I am the king of the eye demon, I am the gospel of the blind, and I am the gods that should be worshipped... Okin!"
At the same time, many people came out from behind it, with their faces full of fanaticism and wearing long priestly robes. And more importantly, they all lost one eye, or left or right eye, and there was only empty black in their eye.
Okin, the god of business?!
Meggie was stunned. He never thought that he would meet a god here. Although the god of commerce is only a new god worshipped in New Asia, gods are gods, and they can't be faced by mortals.
It's just that Okin, the god of business, is actually an eye demon?
"No," Will suddenly said, "You are not a real god, you are just a pseudo god!"
Meggie turned his head and looked at Will doubtfully. Will's expression was extremely serious, even with the solemnity that people had to take seriously. However, although Will said that this eye demon was just a pseudo-god, it was really difficult for Meji to distinguish between a true god and a pseudo-god. In some cities in Xinya, there are indeed many priests of commercial gods who can use magic. Although the level of those magic are not high, isn't it something that only real gods can do to give believers magic?
"You are a hypocrite, because you have no divinity at all!" The boy is still staring at the demon. "A person without divinity can't give his believers magic only by his own ability. They can only borrow artifacts left by the deceased ancient gods to pretend to be gods. You are the kind of god. Not only you, but all the new gods in the world are the same, and even the god Noswell is a pseudo god. After a hundred years of darkness, there has never been a real god.
"Norswell is also a pseudo-god?" Greenless's face showed surprise.
And Anna, who also looked at Will in disbelievely.
Noswell is the main belief of the Fair Kingdom, and the Noswell Church constantly promotes the supremacy of the Lord God, so that even the royal family has become a vassal of the Holy See to a large extent. The divine power is that every king must be canonized by a pope or a cardinal to become a king in name.
Anna and Greenless grew up in the Fair Kingdom. Although Greenless has no good impression on the church, and Anna is not a believer of Norsewell. Her magic comes entirely from the fragments of the goddess soul she has. However, since childhood, it has still made them have no suspicion of Noswell.
But now, the boy tells them that Norswell is not a god at all?
I don't know why, Meggie and Greenless both remembered their mission to kill the snake-haired banshee in the royal city. At that time, the snake-haired banshee forced Cardinal Sarai to secretly help her kidnap the virgin and let her heal the wound with her virgin's blood.
"The main god you believe in is actually..." This is the last sentence said before the death of the snake-haired banshee.
What is?
Mage and Greenless began to regret not letting him finish his words.
"Think about it," Will looked at them, "how many people in the Noswell Church really abide by the beliefs proclaimed by the church? How many of the bishops and priests have really done the so-called justice, so-called loyalty and tolerance? But they can still use Noswell magic. Is there any real god who will not punish those believers who betray his teachings, or even indulge their corruption and incompetence?
The level of magic held by the clergy should depend on their loyalty and enthusiasm for the gods they serve, as well as their absolute obedience to doctrine. However, those important figures in the Holy See have spent all their thoughts on pleasure and intrigue, and even the time for sacrifice and prayer are just pretending. It is really hard to imagine that such believers will not be abandoned by the gods they believe in.
Unless they believe in gods, they have no ability to tell whether their believers are loyal or not.
"So that's it," the demon looked at Will and let out a sneer. "Are you a voter of Gulevi, the god of war? Humph, although the God of War is an ancient priesthood, is Gulevia a god? He was just a human born in a hundred years of darkness. If it hadn't been for the help of Luna, the goddess of light, before she died, he could really pass the trial and become the new god of war?
"You're right," Will was not angry because of the curse of the god he worshipped, but replied calmly, "As Lord Gulevia said to me, in fact, there are no real gods in this world."
Everyone calmed down. Greenless and Anna Sue were shocked by Will's words, but they didn't understand what they were saying at all. As for Meiji, in fact, he knew what Will had said for a long time. Black Annes, who raised him, is a cannibal witch who has survived a hundred years of darkness. She has also said that there is no true god in the world.
All the gods, including the goddess Luna and the moonlight goddess Sharna, have either fled or disappeared in the dark century.
What Meji doesn't understand is, but why can these pseudo-god gods also give magic?
"Also," Will looked at the demon and said coldly, "this is not your divine realm at all. This is the heavenly garden of the goddess Luna."
Meggie and Greenless looked at each other and nodded together, and even Anna said "um".
When they first stepped in, they felt that this place was too familiar to them. Now that I think about it, although the scenery is different, this feeling is exactly the same as the ruins of the heavenly garden in the deep blue sea south of Fair, especially Anna Sue, who has blue planetary debris in her body, is more convinced of this.
In the last year of the dark century, the goddess Luna died, and the goddess's heavenly garden began to collapse and scattered all over the world. This place, obviously like the relics in the deep blue sea that Meiji has entered, originally belonged to the divine realm of the goddess Luna.
This eye demon only occupies the divine realm of the goddess of light.
"It seems that you really know a lot about it." The giant eye demon cracked its big mouth, and the huge eye on its face narrowed. "But do you really think you can still live here?"
In addition to its sneer, the one-eyed priests also slowly moved up, as if there was a rope pulling them, neatly pointing over.
Meggie moved his position, and the hands of the one-eyed priests also moved. He took two steps back, but their hands did not move.
"Hey," Meggie whispered, "Do you think... these guys seem to be referring to me alone?"
Will and Greenless looked carefully and nodded at the same time.
Anna Sue said doubtfully, "It seems that she is indeed pointing at Brother Meggie."
Vampire girl Zhina also said, "Is it because Brother Meji is more handsome?"
"..." Meiji was speechless. Zhina, you said I was very happy that I was handsome, but aren't you really telling a cold joke?
"The one who killed my son," the giant-eyed demon stared at Meggie, "Is that you?"
"No," Meji replied immediately, "I've never seen your son. I don't even know whether it's male or female..."
The demon roared: "Since it's a son, of course it's a male... No, it's a man..."
"Anyway, I don't know," Meiji shrugged. "Do you have any evidence that I killed your son? The crime of theft still needs to pay attention to evidence. Why do you say that I killed it? Let me tell you, I have never seen any eye demons, let alone killed it on Xiwen Island..."
Of course he knows that this guy's son must be Yu Ruohan, but why did he admit it?
Will and Greenrace looked at him contemptuously, but he stood there indifferently, with an innocent expression.
"Brother Meiji," Anna asked puzzledly, "is his son Mr. Yu Ruohan? Didn't you kill Alice when you were protecting him?
"..." Meji sighed heavily. Anna, why did you betray me?
Although the expression of the demon is difficult to judge, it can be imagined that the face of this huge guy in front of them must be ugly. It slowly retreated and coldly ordered the one-eyed priests, "Kill them!"
