Why are there such exaggerated myths and legends in ancient books?
You can also imitate the birth process of God according to those myths.
But it is very difficult to do all of these. Even if some people... some groups... abandoned human ethics and morality and conducted experiments, they ultimately failed to obtain any answers.
It's really unrealistic... For example, you read a myth that describes a god as the child of a giant and a goblin.
You want to simulate the creation of gods - but what are mountain spirits? Where can you find giants?
There was simply no clue at all, so related activities were soon banned by the royal family and the church, leaving only a theory whose truth or falsity was unknown circulating in the world - they called it "divine gift."
The original ancient gods are the crystallization of the world, and they are naturally endowed with a certain mystery during their birth process. This mystery is the source of the gods' power, and any living being who can repeat the process of their birth, no matter who or what, has the opportunity to hold the same power.
This is a very exaggerated and vast assumption... According to this statement, the person standing in front of Desca at this moment is qualified to be compared with those mythical creatures.
It's not an exaggeration. This can indeed explain where her great power comes from and why she can control natural phenomena to cause earthquakes and lava eruptions.
She can completely look down on this civilized world - from the perspective of a strong, a predator, or a superior.
But she didn't do that, instead she was still thinking about that original dream.
I also want to create a new world, a world where all things are equal.
...It's rare, isn't it?
Desca even found this a little ridiculous.
If it weren't for the fact that the price he had to pay to realize his dream was too high, too high a price for him to accept, he might have really wanted to join in and do it with the other party.
"I'm a little disappointed." Dai Lin frowned, "I even look down on you a little."
Just as Desca understood her, she also understood him.
The tone without the slightest hesitation meant that Desca had already made his choice, and based on her impression of this man, whether in his youth or in his later years that she witnessed after meeting him for the second time, it was impossible for him to change his decision.
She really wants to work with Deka.
Just as Bricher Atlans could not forgive Descartes Lavos, Darin Blue could not hate his teacher.
Compared with their past dreams, the grievance of being betrayed is nothing.
During these years, she rested and recuperated, constantly understanding who she was, and also learned about the relevant theories of "divine talent" through the channels of the sect.
So she probably knew that she might be walking the path back to the original place.
She might have a chance to become one of those characters praised in mythology, but that is certainly not possible now because her power is not strong enough.
Only if Desca - only if Desca-Lavos joined her plan would she have any chance of winning.
Because Desca's status in the Goddess Church is so high, he can influence countless people...who regard him as an idol or even a believer.
Not intending to waste any more time trying to convince Deka, Dai Lin stood there and looked at him.
"The first step of my plan is to transform all the beach residents into Primordial Seeds, and then detonate the earth veins to make the Pushen Crater an active volcano again."
"This will cause us a lot of trouble..."
Deka took a breath, clenched the Crusher Hammer, knelt down, and assumed a fighting stance towards her.
"Even if we only count the volcanic ash, more than a dozen towns will be destroyed... The nobles and merchants will definitely be the first to evacuate. You can take this opportunity to incite those who stay."
“It’s not incitement.”
Dai Lin rejected the accusation.
"I'm just waking them up..."
call--
A dark shadow responded to her.
Although Deka's armor was old, the weapon in his hand was the latest model. "Kelward Crusher" was almost whipped into a whip under his burst blessing, and the hammer at the end hit Dai Lin's waist fiercely, whipping her away like a rag bag.
"boom!!"
The female knight rolled down into the pile of rocks, with half of her body even submerged in the roiling magma nearby.
Her torso was smashed to pieces. The skin was still hanging on, but the bones and flesh inside had probably turned to mud.
But she was still not dead, and she even supported her upper body with her arms as if she was not injured at all, and looked up to continue looking at Deka.
"Hehe...hehe..." While panting, Deka's mouth corners twitched slightly.
He could see clearly that in this position, Dai Lin's belly was seriously sagging.
That was the blood mud that was smashed inside... Without a complete skeleton to support it, these things could only hang down by their skin, looking extremely evil and terrifying.
"You're not young anymore."
Dai Lin struggled to stand up. The sagging flesh was shrinking and recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon it looked like there was nothing serious.
"Go back ten years, and you would have been able to deliver a dozen attacks like this without showing any emotion."
"But you're starting to pant now."
"Deska, you are old."
Deka did not reply, but rushed forward while she was speaking. As he approached Dai Lin, he spun the hammer wildly and smashed her away again.
This time the female knight was injured more seriously. Most of her body was smashed, and her skin became like a shriveled water bag. As she rolled in the air, sticky plasma began to spray from the wounds.
Then it fell into the lava lake with a "puff", and a lot of flames and black smoke came out.
"Huh...huh..."
But at the same time, Deka's energy consumption was also terrifying. After swinging the hammer, he almost stumbled and fell to his knees, relying entirely on the hammer handle to maintain his standing.
He is indeed old.
No one needs to tell you, anyone can see it.
After years of being exposed to flint powder, countless metal toxins have accumulated in his body.
He had actually been hiding this from the doctor - since last year, every time he moved, he would feel severe pain in his limbs as if they were being cut by a knife.
“Puff…Puff…”
Accompanied by smoke and dust, a figure slowly rose from the golden-red magma.
Deka stared at her half shocked and half bewildered, and shook his head slowly: "I don't think there should be such a god..."
"It's your perspective that constrains you."
The thing spoke, making a series of noises like the friction of gravel.
She was in human form, and basically maintained Dai Lin's original appearance, but her skin had been completely burned by the magma. She looked like a hellish demon, and even her loose hair had turned into flames...
"You want to kill me, but that's impossible."
Dai Lin said.
"I don't care what you do, I don't care if you reject me, I don't care if you abandon our dreams... Because I know this is all due to the huge gap caused by 'perspective', 'identity', and 'experience', just like adults and babies have no common language. All we can do is wait for the children to grow up..."
"...What do you want to do?" Deka's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
What a lot of nonsense... I have rejected her many times, but she doesn't kill me.
Damn it, she wasn't going to do that to me...
“It would be difficult for Bricher to forgive Descartes-Lavos unless he had experienced the same pain.”
Dai Lin - perhaps it would be more appropriate to call her the "lava banshee" now - her lower body and legs had melted away, completely merging with the magma, and were swaying gently as she spoke.
"As long as I return you to your original state... just like those children, you will naturally understand me and make the right choice again..."
"..."
Without saying a word, Deka threw away the Crusher Hammer and turned and ran away.
Fighting! There is no way to win!
There was no need to face an invincible opponent... not to mention that the opponent wanted to use him! And wanted to use some evil means to make him surrender!
The "Flame Heart Island" created by Dai Lin for him to move around in was limited in area. He turned around and ran five or six steps before reaching the edge. In front of him was the spreading sea of magma.
Faced with this scene, Deka did not hesitate at all. He kicked his legs hard, jumped up, and threw himself into the lava with his arms open.
He had no intention of leaving this beach alive.
Today's battle... this kind of outbreak, even if Dai Lin and these disasters disappeared immediately, his body would be seriously damaged and he wouldn't be able to survive for long.
Since death is inevitable, why not decide your own destination?
You can also destroy the body and not give the other party a chance to take advantage.
Bye now.
Flying in the air, feeling the rolling heat waves coming towards him, Deka closed his eyes tightly.
It's such a pity that there are so many wishes that have not been fulfilled until death.
But Bricher...if I had the chance I would tell you that the moment I knew you might still be alive made me happy.
Then there was a loud "bang" and he fell heavily into a basin.
When he opened his eyes, all he saw was a dark land. The magma solution that had been filling the land seemed to have life and moved away on its own, preventing him from committing suicide.
"Ah——" Then Deka covered his face and let out a shrill scream.
The magma retreated, but the temperature remained. Not to mention that the old man was wearing a suit of metal armor, so the temperature was transferred very quickly.
The first part of his face that came into contact with the ground was burned, and then the inside of the armor was burned. He felt like he had jumped into an oven, and there was no part of his skin that was not burning.
“Ah—uh! Uh… hum… uh… hum…!”
Unable to hold back his gasps of pain, Deka twisted and struggled like a steamed shrimp.
It was not until Dai Lin broke away from the magma, condensed his feet, came over to help him tear off his armor, and dragged him back to Flame Heart Island that his condition improved a little.
But now Deka is completely powerless.
Large areas of skin were charred black, and large areas were torn apart by the armor. Pus was constantly oozing out of the cracked wounds, and the few intact skin areas were also bulging with blisters.
He looks scary and will die soon.
"Don't worry, my brother..."
Dai Lin half-knelt down, lowering her head so that her nose was almost face to face with his.
"This is a turning point in your life...soon you will be reborn, back to the time when we first met, with that young and energetic body..."
"Heh..." Deka wanted to refute and struggle, but he could only make a hoarse roar from his throat.
He couldn't even move his hands or feet. Many parts of his body had completely lost sensation, so he could only allow the other party to slaughter him.
Smiling at him, Dai Lin stood up, stretched out his hand, and the Flame Heart Island collapsed directly from the bottom.
The dust at the bottom broke and fell off, leaving only a lonely "branch" dragging on the flat ground. The surrounding magma solution scattered, expanding the disintegration trend little by little.
Soon, a deep pit appeared below. After the magma and dust scattered, what was left were tree-like veins - those were the rock layers formed when the boiling juice broke through the rock layers and solidified while erupting. They were densely packed and ubiquitous, like a strange spherical tree supporting the platform.
With another wave of his hand, the small branches split and spread little by little, covering Deca's body, leaving only his head outside.
"Hehe..." Deka struggled desperately. He glared at Dai Lin with a murderous look in his eyes.
"There's no need to resist."
Dai Lin narrowed his eyes.
"I used to wonder why it was me... why I was chosen, but I soon figured it out. Even if it wasn't me, there would be someone else."
"This is nature's response to life, Descartes."
"Just like animals whose gonads were removed evolved the ability to reproduce asexually, if you abandon this world... this world will find a way to give birth to new gods."
Chapter 65: Injustice
Although he had already given up hope of turning the tables, Deka still tried his best to resist Dai Lin.
He was like a worm wrapped in a cocoon, twisting constantly. Dai Lin couldn't help laughing when he saw it. "I'm glad that you are so energetic in your old age. This is the Desca I need. When you are reborn, we will definitely be able to reshape the world."
“Ha…ha! Uh! Hmm!!”
"Don't worry about other people, and don't worry about those who 'died'. I said I never wanted to harm anyone. I just wanted to give everyone another chance, a chance to compete from the beginning regardless of identity, wealth, or class."
He reached out and touched Deka's face. The scorching heat melted his skin, making a hissing sound.
