Undoubtedly, that is the most beneficial development for him.Shared interests and secrets are the strongest bonds among allies, and this helps him cement his position within the group.
Yet he was not right.Or maybe his understanding of Dorothy is not comprehensive enough-or Dorothy is indeed a woman who is good at constructing conspiracies and putting them to use.But at least for now, she will not use her companions, teammates, as tools or consumables.
At least not now.
And when the progress of the ritual restoration reaches 90.00%, the last node is about to be completed.In the internal ceremony hall of the main control tower, Jericho, who had obtained the highest authority, finally used the part of the power he could control.
He got in touch with the core of the ritual, he got in touch with the incomparably heterogeneous but about-to-integrate will within the celestial egg.And he's about to step into it.
His vision suddenly turned blank, and before he reached the final checkpoint, he arrived at a wonderful space.It was the setting sun wilderness where the knights fought, and the bones were piled up like a mountain, and Dorothy was sitting on the top of the mountain.
Jianlan Hill, the fault space that Su Qingyue once visited.This is supposed to have been used to transform 'hell'.But as the actual manager of "Hell", Dorothy still has the ability to let it temporarily separate a space for dialogue.
Dorothy was on top of the hill, and Jericho was on top of the hill.'Arthur' and 'Mordred', who were originally the core of the fault, were once again abandoned.And the top of the mountain is also the closest place to the 'Kingdom of Heaven'.
As long as you move forward and take another step, you can get what you want.
It only takes one step.
"Even I find it hypocritical to emphasize it now. But I want to make a point. If you really go out of this way, then the separate entities that are 'Jericho' will cease to exist. Your mind will merge into them Your cognition will be integrated into their cognition. But you are not them after all, and you at this moment will not be him in the future. Even if you both have common memories and ideas.”
Dorothy was holding a book containing scriptures in praise of God.Everything that Chu compiled in 'Hell', including all the private goods he added, is clearly presented on the pages of the book.Even now, she could easily change them, correct them, make them finally take the shape she wanted.But the opportunity to modify is limited to this, once missed, it will never be changed in the future.
"The quantum continuity will be broken. Now you, there is no doubt that you will usher in a death. Then rebirth. At the same time, the main god does not seem to agree that the product of this form can still exist as a reincarnation. You will stay , In the next thousand years, ten thousand years, hundreds of millions of years, you will be guarded forever in this island-like world. And I am not optimistic about your mental state, maybe you can continue your original heart at this moment for a long time. But one day, you will get God's indifference, or madness."
She spoke seriously, and what she said was true.The heart of everything has a limit after all.And all the persistence, persistence, struggle, and sacrifice will eventually turn into a passing cloud one day in the future.
Yet Jericho was not in the slightest daunted by hearing this truth.
"But that's the worst-case scenario, isn't it?" He said gently, and as he spoke, the setting sun behind him seemed to be reflected into a warm sun. "My teammates are not going to do nothing. Everything I'm going to face may not turn around. And finally... I don't think I need to 'persist'. Because for me, this is A pleasant event and I don't feel like I paid for it."
"I'm used to thinking about the worst, but since you insist on this. Then I won't stop it."
Dorothy closed the book without altering the words in it.
"Then, let me ask you one last time. Are you determined to fuse with the celestial egg and replace the position of 'Holy Father' in the Trinity, so as to break away from the human body and perform permanent protection and expansion?"
"Yes, I am determined to do so."
"Even if you will not be you. Perhaps there is a one-in-a-billion probability that you have perfectly controlled all distracting thoughts in the egg of the heavens, so that the future you can still be equivalent to the present you. But even so, at that time You, too, will be forever entangled with all your wishes, until your body and mind die, become a machine, or fall into madness?"
"Yes, I am determined to do so."
"Even if your decision is actually driven by many wills behind the scenes. The situation you face, the solution you obtain, and the executive power you have all belong to the deliberate arrangement of me and some people. In essence, it is not related to push It doesn’t make a difference if you make sacrifices, does it?”
"Peter will always hang upside down on the cross, and Judas will eventually betray. Miss Dorothy, you are only helping me, not harming me. You let me find the value of my life. And I It's going to take a long time to embody it -- and I'm so delighted and grateful for it."
Jericho got up and bowed slightly to her.And the latter did not evade this courtesy, because at this time she knew that she should accept it.
"Even so, I have to apologize to you." And she returned a deeper bow. "Treachery is betrayal. If you face an enemy, this behavior is commendable. But for an ally, betrayal itself should be paid in blood."
She reached out her hands and pierced her eye sockets.Accompanied by the sound of crumbling flesh and blood.The two blood-stained eyeballs were gouged out by her own hands.
For witches, this is a very common execution method.
But on the real level, in the ceremony hall.Dorothy's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, and then two lines of blood flowed silently from the slits.
"Then, as an ally. I forgive your perceived treachery."
Forgiveness, not forgiveness.Since I confessed to be a sin, after being cleansed with blood, I no longer need to beg for forgiveness.
Jericho reached out and touched Dorothy's forehead.The destroyed eyeballs turned into a mist of light, and the eyes were recast in Dorothy's eye sockets.
Dorothy pursed her lips and said nothing more.
And Jericho nodded immediately, and said his last words as a reincarnation.
"Apologize to the captain for me. The time spent with her was very pleasant, but my end is here."
He exhaled lightly, and then took a step towards the sky.
At this moment, the illusory Sword Lane Hill was illuminated with brilliance.At the moment when the light filled everything, the watch on his wrist disintegrated, and his body disappeared into the air.
..............................
Jericho saw his own life.
As an abandoned baby, he was adopted by the church.
As an attendant, grew up in the classics and clerical books.
As a priest, he traveled around and preached in remote mountains and chaotic borders.He has experienced much of the ugliness in the world and the darkness that accompanies it.And he stepped into it without hesitation every time, and corrected those distorted images with his own beliefs.
Influence those gangsters, let those villains put down their guns.The price he paid for this was more than a dozen bullet sores on his body hidden under his robes.Go deep into dangerous situations and pray for those who are dying because of war, disease, or poverty. Even if they can't heal their physical pain, they can at least soothe their spiritual wounds.
This is how he spent the first half of his life.He was known as a devout man in the church, and he often prided himself on his purity and faith.
Until one day, by chance, he saw... some phenomena inside the church.He could bear it at first, because people make mistakes.Only correction and repentance can be cured.And the church is nothing but a group of people gathered together, so correction and repentance can also be redeemed.
He really thinks so, really does it.At that time, he already had a certain influence in the church.Facing his doubts and questioning.Even a high-ranking bishop must think carefully before answering.
Then, he got an answer.
A person who owed money to the church "unfortunately" fell into the river while walking at night.
A woman who had an affair with some priest, got into a car accident 'suddenly', or simply suffered from depression and hanged herself at home with her children.
A gangster who seemed to be involved financially with a certain church suddenly broke out in civil turmoil due to uneven distribution of accounts.Cannibalism, and there just happens to be no one left.
He wanted answers, and the church gave him answers.If you can't solve the problem, then get rid of the person who has the problem.And because of this offense.He has a new job as a church guard in a remote area.And even then, he still believed that the church, which had long been a part of his life, could still be saved.
Until he arrived at his new church, until he heard that people in the area were missing every now and then.
Until one night, he vaguely heard voices from the depths of the church and smelled a strange smell.
Until he knew that the church he was in had a secret underground.
There, he stepped into despair.
But now, he opened his eyes.
He found himself back in the church hall again.He found himself hearing bone saws, electric drills, metal clashing again.And some faint, distorted screams that almost seemed to come from some kind of horrible monster.
The oil capable of burning the entire church is already at his feet, and the matches are ready.Before being recruited by the main god, he was only a few seconds or ten seconds away from his end.
But now, he exhaled softly.
"Save all that needs to be saved, protect all that needs to be protected," he said softly, and then he threw the match aside.A sword and shield appeared in his hand, and he walked towards the basement.
He knew there was a lot of 'stuff' out there waiting for him.He also knew that since this was his heart and the heart of the celestial egg, the basement would be endlessly huge.All pain will gather here, and all prayers will become their own strength.
This battle is destined to be endless.
And he moved forward, stepped forward.When he opened the door, he had already made up his mind that the self who never killed would be here, fighting until the end of time.
'Crackling——' The celestial egg suddenly burst into cracks in the reality layer.And after that, there is an endless glow.The torrent of light spread outward, covering the entire body of the Earth Mother.And all the ghosts below the true devil level were completely wiped out by this pure light in an instant!
A pair of hands covered with steel protruded from the eggshell.Those hands belonged to a sacred armor hundreds of meters high.On one side is a sword for attacking.On the other side, a shield is held for shelter.
Celestial egg, secondary development, completed.
Trinity ceremony, restored.The Son is Amelie, and the Father is Jericho.And the holy spirit is devouring the dream of the earth mother and turning it into her own use, a certain girl surnamed Chu.
And the huge armor immediately raised the sword.
In the corridor of the inner ring of hell, Qiao's eyes froze, and the only remaining right arm suddenly doubled up.A shot of Yang Yan shattered the shell of the 'happy' aura field in front of him.At the next moment, Yun Sushang's flying sword was injected precisely, and the power was released, destroying the core of the true demon's obsession.
Outside the gate of hell, Iris, who was soaked in blood, took a soft breath.All around him was the flesh and blood of ghosts that had been forcibly distorted by his cognition.And the storm circle on his body was almost broken, as long as it could be injured, blood was spattered.
The real demon who was spying on him has six bodies here, and it is impossible to win in the future.And at the bottom of the main control tower, Tavier, Jenny, and the awakened Oboro were facing an army of more than [-] real demons.Even with geographical advantages and protective rituals, defeat is not far away.
But now, all the people, all the ghosts, all looked at the sky in unison.He looked at the raised sword.
The sword is the sword of salvation, and when it falls, the radiance that converges and gathers, with just one blow, wipes out all the true demons in the territory without causing any casualties!
'Christ——! ! ! '
A strange roar resounded in all directions.The glow filled and purified the entire land, and the large shield raised by the giant soldiers turned into a solid dome for protection!
Save all that can be saved, protect all that can be protected.
Thus the supreme god was born, and the last war in this world is also rapidly coming to an end!
Chapter 250 The Clothes of the Three Moons【End of World Four】
The old world will still stand on top of the ruins.
The new world will continue to wait to be conceived in the chaos.
When the pure and holy light illuminates the entire land, purifies all ghosts and ghosts, and takes back the last remaining land of human beings.On the edge of the gate of hell battlefield, in an inconspicuous corner.A lost soul is falling into the depths of darkness along the path dug out by the ring of darkness.
The soul's name is Cynthia, and she comes from an era where fire shaped souls and maintained order.There is nothing special about her in her world, although she has a lot of combat power at a young age.But one or two talents like her stand out every few years.
Choosing one out of hundreds of millions of people is indeed a talent.
But in the infinite multiverse that the main god is looking at, this talent can almost be regarded as non-existent.
Even so, her existence itself has something special—in distant generations, when the primordial flames used to maintain the world's rules needed to use the soul as firewood.There used to be gods who cursed mortals.He makes mortals restless after death, but instead grows a ring of darkness that flows out and infuses the soul.And these undead people will gradually accumulate the total amount of souls in the fight with each other, and eventually grow into firewood that can continue the first fire.
That was many years ago... many, many, many years.The curse imposed by the gods has long been latent and restrained for a long time.Even this dark ancient secret has long since faded into the years.
However, even so, people in this world still left behind the undead trait of manifesting the ring of darkness.In a prosperous and orderly world, it will not be effective.However, once the rules are broken, the order collapses, and the world tends to be destroyed.This hidden mechanism of saving the world will be revealed.
Right here, right now.
However, even if all the prerequisites for the manifestation of the ring of darkness have been met.In this dying world, there is still an important condition missing——
There is no first fire here.
This is Death Stranding after all, not Dark Souls.
And it is used to collect souls and chase the undead of Chuhuo.How can we wake up in a world without the first fire?
Maybe a great hero can do that.But Cynthia was a frustrated knight at best.Her dark circle did not sense the presence of the first fire, and her will was not strong enough to crawl her out of death.Therefore, her ending in this world is not to be resurrected from the dead, but to fall into a deep sleep as a freshly baked soul container after her traits are activated.
She failed to fulfill her mission of collecting firewood.There were no other undead to collect her firewood.Even if the ring of darkness on her chest appeared, it failed to attract the attention of anyone or any ghost.
This is not the material world with strict physical rules, and ghosts do not need a body to carry their own power.The ring manifests silently.And the first soul that flows out of this dark ring can only belong to herself.
The holy light shone on her body, and the light that restrained the ghost did not cause any damage to this lost soul.She didn't transform into an obsessive structure, nor did she turn into a BT unique to this world.Instead, simply as a pure human soul, flowing towards the depths of darkness.
Flow away—where does it flow to?
She was supposed to go to hell, but hell at this moment is a sanctuary for the living.
She should have been shattered and disintegrated, or simply swallowed and assimilated by ghosts like other dead, but there are no other ghosts here.And with the curse of immortality on her body, the structure of her soul is also very stable.
