Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 679 Flower of Blood and Bone: Finale XV
According to the Book of the Dead, human souls rise from the Mesekhet Ship, enter the palace of the underworld, and find refuge in the arms of the sky goddess Nut.

Their souls will enter the underworld, which is [Border Duat].

Afterwards, they will come to the Hall of Judgment - the Hall of Maat/Hall of Truth and Justice.

In this hall, every being is judged on an equal basis, regardless of their power and wealth in life.

Even if it is a miracle or a living god, they will be forced to be judged.

When the soul enters the Judgment Hall, it must make a "negative confession" to the forty-two judgment gods.

Each confession corresponds to a specific crime, such as stealing, lying, murder, etc.

The forty-two judges correspond to forty-two "negative confessions" respectively. The judged must make the following self-confessions:
I have not committed any crime.

I didn't steal.

I am not lying.

I did not steal in the Holy Land.

I did not slander anyone.

I do not do evil in the truth.

I didn't steal food.

I did not associate with filthy people.

I didn't irritate others.

I have not committed adultery.

I didn't cheat in the ritual.

I didn't break any taboos.

I have no disrespect for the gods (natural laws).

I am not unkind to human beings.

I have not been violent to anyone else.

I did not persecute the innocent.

I did not disappoint.

…………

Each oath is a defense of one's actions, with the purpose of proving at trial that one did not commit the crimes.

Through these oaths, the human soul is qualified to enter the eternal paradise.

If a human soul is found to have lied or cheated in an oath, they will face the punishment of being devoured by the monster [Amit] and their soul will be lost forever.

Moreover, these forty-two confessions correspond to different gods, such as the Devourer, the Heart Devourer, the Unstable, the God of Dawn, the Bull God, the Heavy Object, the Snake God, the God of Memory, the God of Fire, the White Flame...

In confession, the human mouth is a pure being, the human tongue is the tongue of a shining thing, and humans are equipped with powerful words.

After the "denial confession", the heart of the person being judged (a symbol of absolute death) will be taken out and placed on one end of the scale, and the feather of Maat will be placed on the other end.

If the heart is balanced with the feather, it means that the soul behaved righteously during life and will enter paradise in the afterlife. If the heart is heavier, it means that the soul is deeply sinful and will be devoured by the monster [Amit].

The soul must swear that it has not committed these crimes to prove its innocence.

There are four parties involved in the weighing process.

The first god, Osiris, sat at the end of the hall, dressed in a white shroud and wearing a double feather crown symbolizing power.

He is the supreme judge who ultimately decides the final destination of human souls.

“Hail to you, sublime spirit, Lord of the Crown of Atef, Manifestor of the Land of Light!
I have brought the truth to you, I have removed the sin for you.

I have done no falsehood to mankind; I have not impoverished my fellows; I have done no thing that is abominable to the gods—'

The second god, Thoth, the god of wisdom and writing, will stand beside the scales and record the outcome of the judgment.

He will ensure the accuracy and fairness of the entire trial process.

"Thoth, you are one of the gods, the Lord of truth and justice, you are supreme in the Hall of Maat, you record the weighing of the hearts of the dead-"

In the center of the Hall of Maat stands a huge scale.

The heart of the dead was placed on one end of the scale, and the feather of Maat was placed on the other.

The balance of the scales determines the fate of the deceased.

The third god, Maat, is the embodiment of truth and justice and the core standard of judgment.

"May my heart be weighed in the scales with the feather of Maat, and may it be found true. I have committed no sin against men; I have committed no evil in the place of truth—"

At the time of judgment, the feather of Maat was placed on one end of the scale and the heart of the person being judged was weighed on the other end.

The feather of Maat symbolizes light truth and justice. If the heart of the person being judged is as heavy as the feather, it means that the soul's behavior during his lifetime was just and his heart was sinless, so he can enter the world of eternal life.

And if the trial fails, [Amit] will be responsible for the punishment.

He is the fourth, a monster composed of features of a lion, a hippopotamus, and a crocodile, standing beside the scales waiting to devour the hearts of those filthy ones who fail the judgment.

He symbolizes the final punishment for sin.

This complete set of rituals involves the border, forty-two judgment gods, and four judgment ritual executors.

This ritual can be used to pursue immortality and create absolute miracles; it can also be used to slaughter existing gods and miracles of the world.

No god or being at the pinnacle of magic could escape unscathed from this ritual.

Even those who have reached the pinnacle of thaumaturgy cannot endure this deadly ritual. This thing is more evil than the twelve salvation inscriptions of "The Sword in the Stone" in Fog City.

Apparently, Bodfeld II, who was trying to transform into Green Day, did not reach the level required to release this ritual.

It is possible that the real Ion is still alive, but he does not have the power or resources to complete the entire ritual.

He could not truly summon the [Border·Mat Hall], nor could he summon the forty-two true judgement gods.

Instead, he could only forge an incomplete ritual, using his own domain and [Pseudo World Bubble] to simulate the Hall of Judgment.

Then, using the Sun Boat, he skipped the forty-two "negative confessions" and went straight to the satisfaction stage, forcing the enemy to be judged on the scales representing justice - and it was a "black box control·special edition".

You don’t need to worry about whether the forced melon is sweet or not, as long as it can quench your thirst.

Although this forcibly distorted ritual is incomplete and even violates the rules and traditions of the real ritual, its lethality is extremely intuitive and terrifying.

It has two fatal characteristics:
[Must-hit Domain: Once you are included in the domain, no matter how hard you struggle, you cannot escape the shackles of judgment. 】

[Instant Death Trigger: In this final judgment, the enemy is unable to resist, and the final outcome has already been controlled. ]

Corinius P. Bodfell II's original plan was much grander than the current situation.

His ambition has always been to become a true "Miracle", relying on the power of "Green Sun" and the support of the Sun Boat and the Border to weigh the long-famous First Sword Bearer and Second Sword Bearer of Heaven.

He had already made up his mind to judge the unique skills of the two sword-wielding men one by one.

He longed to test the First Sword Bearer's "So Close Yet So Far Away", to see if that magical skill that could instantly shorten the rules and distances of all things was still effective in front of his "Green Sun"; he also wanted to see if "Negation of Negation/Mirror Image" could really ignore all attacks and damage, and spiral up all the concepts it touched; he even felt that even the "Principle of Infinite Recursion" and the "Trio of Fate" would eventually have nowhere to hide under his authority.

He had already thought about how to deal with the second sword-wielder.

He wanted to challenge the supreme power of "wrestling with gods" and feel the terrifying force that could fight against the sky; he was wondering whether "my martial arts" would pale in comparison to him, whether the control of "intention integration" could rival his domain, and whether the so-called "magnetic field power" was really as unshakable as the rumors said.

Bodfe II has always believed that he can rely on the Green Sun, the Sun Boat, and the power of the entire border to fight these two sword-wielders head-on "fairly".

He had long been dissatisfied with Heaven's arrogant attitude, and he had always wanted to give Heaven's arrogant face a good beating.

As for why the third sword holder Mu was not included in the sword holder's target...

That's of course because he's not a fool.

He knew well the horror of the uncrowned vice-king.

The ruthless destruction of the "Ten Plagues", the invulnerability of the "Sea of ​​Glass", the ultimate power of the "Incandescent Sun", and the all-cutting edge of the "Sword of Michael".

These world-famous "miracles", before obtaining three-quarters of the power of the real ritual - he would absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not confront the uncrowned vice-lord head-on.

Therefore, although Bodefei II was arrogant, he was not blind.

Whether in his future plans or for the present, he chose to "temporarily avoid" the uncrowned deputy monarch.

As for now, Bodefei II could only focus his attention on the fourth sword-bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven in front of him.

Then, reluctantly, he lowered his status and launched a trial against the fourth sword-bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven who was still wet behind the ears and ignorant of the immaturity of the world.

He wanted to crucify the sword-bearer on the cross and use his corpse to announce the power of Green Day to the world.

Even though his current opponent is a little weaker, this trial will still be a stepping stone for him to reach a higher peak.

Through this victory, he wanted to declare to the world that he, Corinius P. Bodfell II, the leader of the awakening of the Adytum and the Ion of the new era, would become an unshakable absolute existence, and would eventually weigh those mythical beings and defeat all people or gods who dared to stand in his way.

On the blood-red earth, the huge body of the Holy Machine of Gospel was like a suffering god, nailed to an even larger cross that reached from heaven to earth.

The huge cross points from the ground to the sky, connecting the sin and punishment of the entire world.

Prometheus' hands were clasped alternately and nailed firmly to the crossbeam of the cross, and the huge nails pierced its mechanical wrists.

Light particles of various colors continuously gushed out from the mechanical wrist, like sacred blood, slowly flowing down the arm.

These light particles diffused in the air, forming dazzling rays of light, floating in the void like the aurora. The scene was sad and desperate, like a silent elegy echoing in the air.

Light particles continuously flowed out from the nailed wrists, dripping onto the red ground under the cross like blood, forming waterfalls of light.

These waterfalls emit a faint halo in the air, like the aurora falling on the earth, and the light slowly dissipates under the blood-red sky.

At the other end of the cross, the huge scale was shaking quietly.

The golden scales stretched across the sky, and as the scales swayed, the result of the trial was gradually revealed—the heart was heavier than the feather.

This result undoubtedly declared the guilt of the fourth sword bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Hugh Abraham

【You are guilty! 】

【You are guilty!!】

【You are guilty!!!】

This heart is full of sin and injustice and cannot be forgiven in judgment.

As the scales become unbalanced, a monster with a crocodile's head, a lion's upper body, and a hippopotamus' lower body appears next to the scales of judgment.

His eyes flashed with hunger, and he opened his huge bloody mouth and began to devour the heart that symbolized sin.

The monster opened its huge bloody mouth and made a low and wet sound as it slowly bit down.

"Crack--Crack--"

The heart of a sinner.

Fragrant, sweet and delicious!!!

"crunch-"

The strange sound rang out again, carrying with it the sticky feeling of flesh being torn.

Every chewing was accompanied by a "gulp-gulp" sound.

When Amit was eating, the Holy Machine of Gospel on the cross suddenly shook violently, and then fell into deathly silence.

The light particles and dazzling light that were originally surging from the body disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the body that once shone with endless brilliance suddenly dimmed.

Zhizhizhi~~~
The head, which had been held high, now drooped weakly, as if it could not bear its own weight and hung heavily.

Then, the surface of the Gospel Machine began to lose its luster rapidly, and was gradually covered with a layer of gray stone texture.

The petrified lines were like the shadow of death, spreading from every corner of the machine and covering the entire machine in an instant.

The entire body of the mechanical giant was completely transformed into a stone sculpture in an instant, hanging quietly on the cross that reached the sky and the earth, like a cold monument, announcing its former glory and its end.

When Corinius P. Bodfell II saw the Holy Machine of the Gospel transformed into a stone sculpture, his expression should have been extremely serious, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly uncontrollably.

He pursed his lips tightly, trying to keep a calm face, and kept warning himself in his heart:

"You can't laugh, you can't laugh. It's not time to laugh out loud yet. You must not show your emotions..."

However, the suppressed joy and excitement surged into his heart like a tide, and the corners of his mouth trembled again and again as his mood rose, finally revealing an uncontrollable smile.

Although he tried his best to maintain that solemn posture, the excitement in his heart was beating in every nerve. The feat of obliterating the fourth sword bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven, this "merit" ignited infinite joy in his heart, like a burning flame, filling his whole body with excitement.

His heartbeat quickened, his breathing became rapid, and every drop of blood in his body boiled with success.

There was a gleam of ecstasy in his eyes, a pleasure that could not be completely hidden no matter what.

To put it simply, Bodefei II is now--high as hell!!!
"You can't laugh, you can't laugh..."

He warned himself again and again in his heart, but the uncontrollable joy made his whole body tremble slightly, and it seemed that he would lose control and laugh out loud at any time.

However, even though his face was still trying hard to maintain a serious expression, his eyes had already revealed the ecstasy of a winner.

Corinius P. Bodfe II looked at the Holy Machine of Gospel turned into a stone statue and the heart devoured by [Amit], and the ecstasy in his heart almost overwhelmed him.

Fruit of victory, you are so sweet,

Like the rising morning sun in the sky, it illuminates my heart;

You are so heavy and full in my hands.
Every sip was filled with power and a sense of authority.

I have woven this web of fate with my wisdom,

Bind your enemies to the crossroads of fate;

Watching the angel struggling helplessly, I felt so happy.

This trial is, after all, the hymn and feast I have been waiting for.

Under the bloody sky, all things are my slaves.
That arrogant angel eventually pales in front of me,

This will be used as a medal to proclaim the power of World Green Day.

When the angel's head hangs on the top of the church,

My name will be engraved in the long scroll of time.
The fruits of this victory will be mine alone forever.

Joy, joy, joy!!!

The unprecedented satisfaction in his heart made Ned, the founder of Awakening, even more spiritually fulfilled. He felt that he was only one step away from completely entering into great spirituality!
Bodfe II involuntarily raised the bone stick in his hand, intending to immediately release the scales, expel the two gods of border rules, and take back his majestic domain.

However, just as he was about to act, an inexplicable feeling of trance suddenly came over him, causing his hand to freeze in mid-air.

He frowned slightly, as if a voice in his heart was reminding him:

"What if there's an accident?"

This sudden doubt made him put down the bone stick in his hand, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

He felt his heartbeat slow down, as if some vague danger was approaching, but he couldn't tell where the feeling came from.

Corinius's gaze once again fell on the lifeless Holy Machine of the Gospel, and his mind was suddenly occupied by a strong desire - he wanted to chop off the head of the fourth sword-bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven, and hang it high above the Night Boat, on the spikes on the top building of the Central Cathedral, so that everyone could see the defeat of the Kingdom of Heaven.

This thought snaked through his mind like a venomous snake, stimulating every nerve in his body and making him extremely excited.

The ancient snake that tempted people to go astray has begun to squeak unknowingly.

The caution deep in Prince Fei's heart prevented him from completely indulging in this pleasure.

He quickly suppressed his ecstasy and regained his calm expression. Holding the bone staff tightly in his hand, he ordered Osiris, who still maintained the ancient gesture, to let the green sun projection that radiated everything slowly rise and approach the corpse of the arrogant angel.

"Burn him, burn him completely, leaving only his head."

Corinius whispered, a dangerous gleam in his eyes.

He knew that only by completely wiping his opponent out of this world could he truly feel at ease and truly declare his victory.

The bloody earth was dead silent, and the scarlet sky was as thick as blood, filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

In this strange and twisted world, the green sun slowly soared over, like a ray of light full of judgment, cutting through the blood-stained sky.

His light shone upon the stone giant nailed to the cross that pierced the sky and the earth.

When the sun approaches, a huge radiance suddenly bursts out, and the scorching temperature burns the entire world.

The stone giant's chest quickly disintegrated under the shining light and turned into powder, revealing the steel skeleton hidden under the outer shell.

The interwoven structure of iron and steel is full of cold power, and inside it, deeper in the cockpit, hides a human figure.

It was a life form full of death, with gray hair and drooping head, and it had lost all its vitality.

His hands tightly grasped two petrified balls. His hands, which were once full of vitality, were now like cold statues, with no signs of life.

The most eye-catching thing is the huge hole in his chest. That was where his heart should be, but now it is empty. The heart had long been taken out, leaving only a bottomless hole, symbolizing complete despair and death.

The heart of the ritual judgment symbolizes death in the true sense. Even an angel with two hearts and three lungs cannot escape death if his heart is eaten by Amit.

At this moment, the green sun stopped in front of the angel's corpse. Its light seemed extremely cautious, as if it was performing a sacred and inviolable ritual.

He slowly approached the corpse, and the light moved carefully along the outline of the giant, gradually burning the remains of this huge creature.

Starting from the left hand, the light devoured the stiff stone arm like a raging flame, then the left leg, and then to the torso. Every part was reduced to ashes under the scorching light and gradually dissipated into the air.

In the distance, Bodfell II stared at the scene intently, the light in his eyes becoming more and more fanatical and excited.

On the other side, at the moment when the light of the green sun was about to engulf the right hand and remaining trunk of the fourth sword bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven.

The accident struck suddenly like a nightmare.

There was only a slight "puff" sound, and the head and joints of the Gospel Holy Machine Mechanical Statue, which had originally turned into stone, suddenly began to surge strangely, like a long-dormant volcano suddenly erupting.

[Prometheus] broke free from the shackles of the cross.

Immediately afterwards, the giant's petrified hands suddenly closed, like two huge steel plates clamping a helpless fly.

"bump!"

Along with this loud noise, the green sun was suddenly closed by these hands, like a fragile insect being grasped in the hands, and the light was completely blocked in an instant.

The angel, who was thought to have fallen into eternal silence, suddenly opened his eyes.

[Coherence rate: 96.94% {threshold}]

In the cockpit of the Holy Gospel Machine, Xia Xiu's form was undergoing an indescribable qualitative change.

His entire body was gradually becoming photonic, with his hair, skin, and flesh all emitting soft and mysterious light.

His eyes also changed completely. His pupils were completely covered by a rotating azure halo. This halo was like an endless universe, flashing with incredible brilliance.

The originally golden eyes had now become as deep as the sea, with countless tiny light particles floating in the depths of the irises, and the pupils were slightly elongated, embedded with a dazzling diamond-like light.

Countless tiny light particles surrounded him, and his skin was no longer ordinary flesh and blood, but a crystal clear texture, and his entire body was condensed from photons.

When light shines through his skin, you can see the delicate and precise structure inside. Countless light particles flow and jump in his body, exuding a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

These light particles continuously poured out from his body, filling the cockpit and forming a soft light mist that enveloped him.

The already handsome face of the fourth sword-wielder in heaven now became even more symmetrical and perfect, with every inch of his skin being carved with incomparable exquisiteness.

His temperament also completely transcends the scope of human beings and reaches a higher level of existence. He no longer belongs to the mortal world, but is some kind of sacred incarnation.

This change is not just an improvement in appearance, but a comprehensive evolution from the inside out!
"caught you!"

Xia Xiu took advantage of the [Out of Control World] card bug, triggered continuous errors, and came back to life.

At this moment, the corners of his mouth revealed a dazzling smile.

【Drip drip-】

[Detected that [Heaven's Lever] is leveraging the rule section: Supreme Divinity (God of All Machines)——]

[Leverage: Stealing God’s authority——]

[Divine liberation mode detected——]

[Serialized vital signs detected——]

[Detected the characteristics of the assimilation of the Supreme Godhead——]

[Prometheus Activation: Fire Stealer Mode! ]

[Beginning Dilution: Authoritarian Domain·Broken Spark (Divine Liberation)]

[Prometheus, Level 2: Divine Suppression Body (Fire Thief)! ]

The air on the battlefield suddenly stagnated, as if sensing some power that did not belong to the mortal world was quietly awakening.

The Holy Machine of Gospel stood in the center of the battlefield, and the already decaying machine underwent a radical change at this moment.

The surface of the machine began to glow with a soft and mysterious light, and wisps of light shone through the originally deep gaps in the armor. Countless galaxies surged out from the interior of the machine.

The light was not dazzling, but a glow with warmth and majesty that gradually covered his entire body and bathed him in a sacred light.

Change and sublimation come quietly.

The first thing to change was the eyes of the machine. The mechanical sensors seemed to be infused with life at this moment, shining with a sharp blue light.

The originally cold beam of light was now filled with the divinity that could see through everything—the divinity that could see through illusions and reach the truth.

The antenna on its head began to glow faintly, and as the Gospel Holy Machine's spiritual sensing abilities were stimulated, the glow gradually spread throughout the machine, enveloping it like an invisible shield, emitting an indescribable sense of mystery and solemnity.

As this power awakens, the machine's armor begins to deform, with armor plates in key locations expanding outward to reveal a flickering energy core inside.

These cores are not ordinary mechanical parts, but light sources full of vitality, flowing with colorful light particles.

These light particles move between the gaps in the armor as if they have consciousness, and from time to time they gather into rays of light, spreading outwards as a faint halo, symbolizing the deep resonance between the body and the driver.

The spread of each halo was accompanied by a slight vibration, as if the entire body was responding to every thought in the cockpit.

The most shocking change occurred on the back of the Holy Gospel Machine - the structure originally hidden inside the mecha slowly unfolded at this moment, forming a huge tide of energy light wings that covered the sky and the sun.

The appearance of the light wings was like a rising sun, breaking the silent air on the battlefield.

These wings of light are not physical entities, but are composed of high-concentration light particles. Five colors of light are intertwined in them, spreading out in the universe like angel wings.

The scene in front of him suddenly changed. The Holy Machine of Gospel suddenly covered Osiris completely in an unprecedented manner. The deformation of the machine seemed to be beyond common sense. A giant formed by countless stars lay across the center of the battlefield in an incredible manner.

That is... the authority of the God of All Things and one of the billions of radiances! ? !

How could the fourth sword bearer in Heaven...

Bodefei II's expression changed involuntarily, his eyes widened slightly, and a hint of uneasiness appeared between his brows.

However, the slight fluctuation in his heart was quickly suppressed by reason, and his expression returned to calm and composed.

"Hmph," he sneered in his heart and shook his head slightly, mocking his opponent's futility.

Although the Holy Machine of Gospel showed overwhelming power and form at this moment, Bodfe II did not think that this could last.

After all, this is still his territory, the world he controls.

All rules, laws, and powers operate under his will.

Even though the Fourth Sword Bearer of Heaven had just somehow escaped judgment, he knew very well that it was just luck.

Good luck will not come a second time, especially on a stage like this one that he controls.

"The same trick won't work the second time." He muttered to himself, holding the bone staff tightly in his hand.

Bodfell II raised the bone staff high and pointed it towards the sky. The two skulls inlaid with rubies on the top of the staff began to emit a dazzling red light, illuminating the surrounding space.

At the same time, [Thoth] and [Mat] on his left and right sides also began to act secretly.

Thoth lowered her ibis head slightly, her white robe fluttering gently in the wind, and the reed pen in her hand drew invisible marks on the papyrus scroll; Maat cast her gaze on the huge golden scales, and gently held up the pure white feather with both hands, as if she was going to judge again.

The scales in the sky began to balance again, and a silent contest began again between the feather symbolizing truth and justice and the heart of the judge.

Bodfe II's eyes flashed with fanaticism, and the bone staff drew an arc in the air as he thought, making final preparations for the coming trial.

He said viciously in his heart: "This time, I will definitely make sure he is completely annihilated and there is no chance of him escaping!"

However, just as Bodfell II was about to put the order in his mind into action, his expression suddenly changed, his eyes widened, his pupils contracted violently, and for the first time, his face showed complete loss of control.

His expression changed from arrogance and confidence to horror and even disbelief, as if he had seen something incomprehensible.

His lips trembled as he murmured:

"Ion...!"

In the sky, the fourth sword-bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven, who was supposed to be trapped inside the Holy Machine of Gospel, unexpectedly broke away from the machine at some point.

He stood on the sky, holding a huge lever in his hand. His right hand, which should have been photonized, turned into flesh and blood. On the back of his right hand, a scarlet spiral mark appeared.
