Extraordinary pedigree

Chapter 681 Flower of Blood and Bone·Endgame XVII

The bloody sky began to slowly fall, and the world was being squeezed by an invisible force.

Above the sky, the red clouds were like a torn curtain, revealing two fissures of burning flames.

In the fissures, huge crosses with endless pressure slowly descended from the sky. Their size was large enough to cover the entire sky, and the light and shadow intertwined into a picture of glory and oppression.

These two crosses, like the final tools of the Last Judgment, pierced the earth with irresistible power.

Ding——

Ding——

Xia Xiu and Bodefei II were powerless to resist. Their bodies were lifted by the invisible force and then heavily bound to the cross.

The crossbeam of the cross was like the shackles of fate, tightly fixing their arms.

Clang——

Clang——

Then, the nails of judgment pierced through the wrists of the two.

The two stood opposite each other, forming a sharp contrast.

On the left, the fourth sword-bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven is like a perfect righteous man, with a calm and solemn expression on his face, emitting a radiance as bright as the sun.

His face is even brighter than the sun, like an angel with divine appearance, but he also has a compassionate humanity.

This humanity makes his image more three-dimensional and real, like an existence with both angelic and mortal characteristics.

On the right, the image of Bodfe II is completely different.

He exudes endless determination and huge murderous intent, and his left and right hands have six fingers each, which seems to indicate that his fate is different from that of ordinary people.

What is even more terrifying is that a painful Wendigo face emerges from his chest.

The Wendigo's hideous face is full of pain and despair. It keeps tearing and struggling out of Bodfe II's body, as if to get rid of the constraints of this body.

The Wendigo's hands tightly cover the huge antlers on his head, with a distorted expression, as if he is enduring unbearable pain.

The antlers, like a symbol of twisted fate, emit a strange light, making the whole scene even more bizarre and eccentric.

In this solemn and magnificent scene, the god of wisdom and record [Thoth] stood beside the scales, overlooking everything.

His ibis head was raised high, his white robe fluttered gently in the invisible wind, and the reed pen in his hand gently hung on the unfolded scroll.

Hieroglyphics gradually emerged on the scroll, and each symbol carried an ancient mysterious power, recording this cosmic judgment.

[Mat], the embodiment of truth and justice, stood at the other end of the scales, her figure was like an eternal statue, quiet and majestic.

The feather in her hand symbolized the balance of the world, and was lightly placed on one side of the scales.

The feather seemed to carry the truth and justice of the entire universe, flashing a faint golden light.

On the other side of the scale tray, the "heart" of the judge was placed. The heart beat slowly, emitting a dark red light, as if telling of sin and regret.

The crossbar of the golden scale was straight and steady, symbolizing the order of the world.

The breath of the whole world seemed to flow with it, and the pendulum of fate swung slowly in the balance of the scale, determining the final outcome of the two souls.

At the moment when the scale began to balance, the fourth sword bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven and Bodfe II were both caught in the judgment of fate.

The two ends of the scale moved slowly, symbolizing that the balance between justice and sin was taking shape.

And in this silence, the expression of Bodfe II, who was nailed to the right, suddenly changed.

His face, which was originally full of pain and distortion, seemed unusually calm at this moment, like the tranquility of the sea after the storm.

His eyes no longer showed anger or resentment, but with a surprising calmness.

Bodfe II stared at the fourth sword bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven opposite him.

His eyes met Xia Xiu's pupils directly.

Those eyes reflected each other's fate and the ultimate moment of judgment, as if the fight between them was no longer important, but the upcoming result was important.

In this silence, Bodfe II had already accepted everything that was about to happen. He was ready for the worst... to die at the hands of the true candidate for the inner temple in front of him.

His heartbeat gradually stabilized, his breathing became even, and there was a hint of cold sadness in his eyes, as well as a hint of unspeakable... dissatisfaction.

That was dissatisfaction with fate.

He spoke in a low voice, as if coming from the abyss, calm and almost cold, but with a majesty that could not be ignored.

"Hugh Abraham, I'll wait for you at the border." His voice was neither hurried nor slow, but it was like a hammer hitting the air heavily, "This miracle was seen by me from Ion, from the twin gates standing on Terra."

"How honored you are to witness the blueprint of this miracle..." His tone of voice was so calm that it was creepy, as if he was already in another world.

There - fate has been woven, and the ending has been written.

"Then you will know how stupid you are. You have blocked the path that humanity should have taken to rise!!"

"I have always heard about your deeds. You are no different from those ambitious people in the past. You are wearing the mask of a hypocritical savior. You make me feel sick!!!"

Standing opposite each other, they can only talk nonsense now.

When the voice of Bodefei II gradually dissipated in the air, Xia Xiu raised his head and looked at the enemy nailed to the cross.

"Always."

Under Xia Xiu's appearance and body, there was a rare hint of tiredness deep in his eyes.

The enemy in front of him is the most powerful opponent he has faced so far.

The founder of the inner temple's awakening not only brought him an unprecedented sense of oppression in terms of power.

Although on the surface he looks intact and seems to be taking everything in stride, in fact, this is just a facade, an illusion maintained at the limit.

However, Xia Xiu remained calm as always at this moment. Facing Fei II's provocation and confidence, he did not have too many emotional fluctuations.

"What do you mean?" There was a hint of displeasure in Bode Fei II's voice, and his look of looking down upon everything made him feel extremely unhappy.

He hated the other person's arrogant face and the look in his eyes that seemed to look down on all living beings.

"You always go out of your way to create difficulties for me, my colleagues and my colleagues, and you are always so righteous. In fact, I don't have too much moral criticism for this. I have been able to reach this position on this road. People always have extraordinary qualities, outstanding goals, and unabashed ambition.”

Fei II sneered, and the corner of his mouth raised a hint of contempt, but Xia Xiu's voice remained steady.

"So, everything you do seems too natural. The road to a high position is full of hardships. People often find themselves promoted to a position that requires more pain after experiencing all the pain. ”

Xia Xiu paused for a moment, and his gaze became deeper and deeper. He seemed to see the struggle and confusion of countless souls chasing their dreams.

"Things that are too wild and ambitions that are too straightforward always require self-certification. However, for those who are on the road to transcendence in pursuit of their own goals and will, self-certification is the most ridiculous thing. - So we just have to do it because it's what we're supposed to do."

"Sometimes I often feel, or others often feel it, they always say to me - you lack a quality that people should have, it is not a lack of humanity, but a lack of 'humanity'. You are like a pursuit The target machine, not the 'last man' trapped in the eternal cycle like them."

"People in the world are keen on wandering and changing, and believe that adhering to a belief is a bondage imposed on themselves. Whether in thought or action, they love free will. However, they lack a certain virtue. , lacks a certain nature.”

His eyes gradually condensed, staring at Bade Fei II, as if he wanted to penetrate the other person's soul:

"Human nature is often hidden and can be suppressed for a while, but rarely can it be completely annihilated. Suppressing nature will often make it more intense after it is freed from restraint. Teaching and persuasion will only moderate human nature. Only by Habits developed over a long period of time can change and constrain human nature.”

"My enemies, as they always do, retain their own ideas and nature - they have the instinct to destroy an old morality and old values."

"You think you are pursuing a new order and new power, but you have to understand one thing. To see clearly who you really are, you must have some awareness and rise to the top - only from there can you overlook the beauty of life. The whole picture.”

There was a trace of boredom in Bodefei II's eyes, and he felt that something in his heart was dissatisfied with the words of the angel in front of him.

Xia Xiu's words seemed to be revealing some unspeakable truth deep in his heart, making him feel extremely repulsed.

"Those who claim to be enlightened people, have their souls really been reshaped?" Xia Xiu's voice is still calm, but it has become sharper, "Or are they just putting on new ones for the old shackles? Cloak? True enlightenment is a rebellion against the old world, a denial of all old morality, and a direct look into the abyss of oneself. It makes you question everything, doubt everything, and ultimately makes you a new creator."

"I always see my reflection in you, but you disgust me."

"Later I understood something and saw a problem."

"Destroy old morality and create new morality; destroy old values ​​and create new values ​​- not being satisfied with the existing virtues, but pursuing a higher level of existence, this is my virtue."

Xia Xiu's tone suddenly turned heavy and serious, and his eyes were locked on the face of Bade Fei II, as if his eyes were trying to pierce the opponent's defense.

"But you are different. Destruction is a necessary step towards creation, but destruction itself is not the ultimate goal."

“Only by destroying old, decaying value systems can humanity make room for new, higher values.”

"However, after you destroyed the old values, you created new morality and new values ​​that are more distorted or more repressed. This kind of 'creation' is not a real creation, but a kind of degradation, and even the will to life and power. betrayal."

"You destroy the old morality, and after the old values, what you promote is always slave morality."

"You are more dangerous than Atlas."

"You people are not real creators, but destroyers disguised as creators. Your so-called 'new morality' is only a further suppression of vitality, not liberation."

"Human beings no longer pursue greatness, but choose safety and comfort. Then human beings will degenerate into lifeless 'last men'."

His voice was low and powerful, with an irresistible force that directly hit the most dissatisfied part of Fei II's heart.

"I always ask one question to enemies like you, and that is - why do you hate humans so much."

Bodfe II felt an uncontrollable disgust, a disgust from the depths of his soul towards the angel in front of him, a feeling he had never experienced before.

"Nonsense!"

Bodfe II growled at the angel, his voice shaking the entire space.

"You are just a straw dog of heaven, how dare you criticize morality in front of me? No matter how much you talk, it is just a lie in a hypocritical cloak!

You keep holding high the banner of 'humanity', but you are just looking for excuses for your own selfish desires! You are just a cold-blooded puppet, claiming to be a messenger of justice, but in my eyes, you are just a ridiculous thief, a parasite that deprives others of their glory!"

Bodfe II's voice became sharper and sharper, and anger burned in his heart like a burning flame.

"Your so-called 'nature' is nothing but a fig leaf for yourself, and your theory is nothing but a pile of tattered shackles! Everything I do is to transcend the shackles of the mundane world, step onto the highest altar, and create a new utopia."

"A young boy who is still wet behind the ears is not qualified to point fingers!"

"Your ambition to rule mankind has been forged into a concept of salvation!" Bodefei II said sarcastically.

"What you call 'salvation' is nothing but a dictatorship in a high-sounding cloak! You think you are a messenger of light, but in my eyes, you are just suppressing all the will to resist under a false peace! The 'liberation' you talk about is nothing but binding free will to your rules and order. You think you are noble, but the real nobility is to transcend these constraints and step onto the pinnacle of controlling destiny!"

Bodefei II's eyes were full of disdain and contempt.

"You think you are destined by heaven, but in fact, you are just enslaving everyone's freedom, ruling in the name of saving the world! Your so-called "heaven" is just a tool to serve your selfish desires, and a shackle for you to rule and suppress others!"

"I will not be deceived by your hypocritical mask! I see through your hypocrisy, I will tear this disguise and expose your true face to the world! My great cause will liberate everyone from your slavery and return your so-called "salvation" to what it should be - a trampling and exploitation of the will of all mankind!"

Ding——

A crisp sound came from the Libra, interrupting the "friendly questioning" between the two.

A violent white light sounded, and both were swallowed by the white light.

At the same time, above Terra, the once huge Night Ship, like a floating continent, quietly anchored in the sky.

However, at this moment, the Night Ship seemed to have lost the power of life and gradually stagnated.

The huge ship trembled slightly in the air, making a low groaning sound, like the last struggle of a dying creature.

The seven-layer veil, like the veil of the world, no longer danced at this moment, and remained still in the air.

The light that was originally swaying in the aurora sky gradually dimmed, like a lamp that was about to go out, and the cracks in the sky slowly healed, restoring the former tranquility.

[Green Sun], the light that was once as blazing as a star, gradually dimmed at this moment.

The huge ball of light seemed to have lost its power, and the light gradually converged, as if suppressed by an invisible force.

The light was no longer dazzling, but slowly retreated, like a dying star, falling into endless silence.

The voyage of the night ship was completely stagnant at this moment, like a stranded giant ship, quietly suspended in the air, waiting for the final judgment of fate.
