Konoha: This Sasuke has Tivat

Chapter 178 Curse from the Gods

"But the architectural structure here is indeed somewhat similar to Kanria in the past. Well, it will look more like it if we come here."

“Or should I say, it’s the past of Canria that is similar to this place.”

"Let's go, there is light there, be careful not to fall completely from the platform in front..."

Before Dyne finished speaking, he saw Sasuke starting to take off his clothes.

"You are..."

I saw the dragon wings stretching behind Sasuke.

"It's okay, I can fly."

"..."

Looking at the wings on Sasuke's back that were almost identical to Tevalin's, Dain was stunned at first, and then laughed.

"I see... It seems that you were partly responsible for the failure of the Abyss Order's biological weapons plan in Mondstadt."

"No wonder Yinghui came here in such a hurry to look for you, without re-disrupting the ether node of the transmission for me to track here."

"It seems that the biggest gain in this career is getting to know you, Uchiha Sasuke."

Sasuke just smiled.

"The appearance of you and Sora also made me understand many mysteries of this world."

"Maybe...but the business exchanges are here first. Let's uncover the secrets that the Abyss Order wants to hide first."

Dine turned around and jumped in front to clear the way. Sasuke also pulled up Sora, waving his wings and leading Paimon to follow Dine.

As they arrived, several black snake knights walked out of the corner and stopped in front of them. However, they did not take the initiative to attack, but took on a defensive posture, as if they were guarding something.

There were more and more black snake knights, almost surrounding them, and they kept roaring.

Just when Sasuke was about to take action, the weird cyan black snake knight from before appeared again.

A strange sound came from the helmet of the cyan black snake knight. The sound was very hollow, as if there was a hollow under the cyan armor and air leaked from it.

The black snake knights who originally surrounded them began to slowly retreat after hearing this sound.

Just like a guard who has received an order.

"Back off...is the knight who brought us here giving orders?"

And Sasuke finally saw what the group of black snake knights were protecting.

Qiuqiu people.

A group of Qiuqiu people.

Sure enough, it was the same scene as what I saw when ringing the bell before.

The Black Snake Knight defends a group of half-dead Qiuqiu people.

Dain, who also saw this scene, lowered his head, and his hands that were originally folded on his chest unconsciously drooped.

"It turns out it's you...Halfdan..."

"...Is this actually the case..."

"If that's the case, it's really sad."

"The reason why the Black Snake Knight is staying here has nothing to do with the secrets of the Abyss Order... I should have guessed it earlier."

Looking at Dyne, whose face was getting heavier and heavier, Sora walked to his side, as if he wanted to share the burden with his traveling companion.

Dainsreb shook his head to free himself from the emotion just now.

"How is this going?"

"Dain, do you know the Black Snake Knight?"

"Why did the group of black snake knights just now seem to be protecting these Qiuqiu people?"

At this time only Paimon was still confused.

After hearing Paimon's words, Daine sighed and explained:

"Well, they are indeed protecting these Qiuqiu people."

"Remember what I just told Sasuke?"

"The Qiuqiu people, the black snake knights, and the abyss mage, the knights are all transformed by the Kanreyan people who were cursed by the immortal."

"As for those Black Snake Knights, they are just fulfilling their duties."

"It's only now that I remember that the man who drove away the group of black snake knights... was a young elite in the palace guard in the past, and his name was... Halfdan."

People from 500 years ago?

"I still vaguely remember that on the day of the Camria disaster, as the Sword of the Last Light, I asked the knight named Halfdan before I rushed to the palace."

"Ask him to tell all the Black Snake Knights to protect the people of Kanria no matter what."

"It is true that we have the title of palace guard, but in the face of that kind of catastrophe, the royal family, celebrities, civilians...these identities have lost their meaning."

"In the face of the power of the gods, we only have the identity of Kanria people." Dain paused here and clenched his hands unconsciously.

"Perhaps in the hearts of these black snake knights who have lost their minds, they are still fighting to protect the people of Kanria."

"They regard this ruins as Kanria in disaster, and regard the Qiuqiu people as people seeking help."

"And the constant roars from the mouths of those black snake knights just now, although it is difficult to distinguish, can still be vaguely heard to be the language of Gucanria."

"That's not a warning to us, but a message to those Qiuqiu people..."

"Run."

silence.

Dain raised his head and closed his eyes.

"Even I have to admit that this will is so tenacious that it has not been erased after 500 years... It can be regarded as a miracle born out of despair."

"Just now... I misunderstood them. Even though they were distorted by the power of the abyss, they still have qualities as bright as diamonds..."

"They...are the real heroes of Kanrea."

It seemed that he was thinking of the black snake knight who disappeared under his sword. At this time, there was no expression on Daine's face.

"Dyne..."

Paimon looked at the man in front of him who seemed to be blaming himself, and unconsciously lowered his voice.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something. Do you want to comfort me?"

"That's not necessary."

After opening his eyes again, Daine returned to his previous aloof demeanor.

"Let's go, we haven't figured out the real purpose of the Abyss Order's occupation here yet."

The black snake knight named Halfdan also took action again, leading Sasuke and the others deeper into the ancient city hanging upside down.

As they went deeper, the ruins became brighter and brighter.

There is light here?

Everyone looked up, only to find that there was a pool above their heads!
The water in the same hanging pool does not fall, but flows upward. Even the water in the pool is upside down, and the light emanates from the pool.

It seems that not only the building has been turned upside down, but the entire space has been turned upside down.

"What's going on in this pool?"

Sasuke had never seen such a strange sight.

Dyne shook his head.

"The pool is integrated with the entire city, and it must be a relic of ancient civilization."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Being here, my body feels peaceful and relaxed like never before. This feeling is stronger than when I first came here. It seems that the effect of weakening the curse comes from this pool."

"The water in this pool has a purifying effect."

"Then can this pool completely purify the curse?"

Sasuke suddenly asked at this time.

After hearing Dyne's description, he had a guess.

The reason why the Abyss Cult made this their base.

"impossible."

Dain answered decisively.

"So sure?"

Paimon glanced sideways
"Yes."

Dyne said in a tone that left no room for doubt.

"I have remained awake and coexisting with the curse for 500 years."

"No one knows more about the curse than I do."

"It is a causal brand in this world. The curse of the gods is even higher than human beings in terms of personality."

Ok?
Sasuke sensed something amiss from Dyne's words.

The curse of the gods...

Why were Dain and the people of Kanria cursed by the gods?
If the gods were hostile to Kanria, they could just kill Dain. Why did they choose to cast a curse?

Such a vicious curse would only be chosen if a god wished that all Kanreans would be miserable.

I can't die even if I want to, I will always be in pain.

According to Dyne, it was the gods who destroyed Canria.

What on earth did Kanrea do to make the gods still cast this immortal curse on all Kanrea people even after destroying Kanrea?
