Fluttering.
Freed from gravity, floating in the void.
This is how Chen Rui feels now, or after waking up.
He himself couldn't tell what kind of state it was, as if his soul had come out of his shell, drifting in the universe.
There is no body, no need to breathe, but it feels very relaxed and peaceful.
That's right, the surrounding scene is just the cosmic space, not the galaxies in the super system, and there is no sense of faith, it seems to be the real universe.
This is... the feeling of hanging up
Chen Rui recalled the feeling of death that he had seen on the Internet. These were not obtained from real dead people, but were summarized by experts from near-death and suicide attempters. And... Oneness with the Universe
Is this sense of tranquility today, coupled with cosmic "travel", really dead
(Haven't had sex with a certain empress, and another empress, and haven't had more sex with other wives... Such an unfulfilled ambition, why did you die?)
(Where is the protagonist's halo? What about the Crystal Palace halo?)
While thinking wildly, the wandering continued.
The speed of drifting feels very slow, but the process of time in the universe is completely opposite. For example, just now, Chen Rui witnessed the process of a star from "youth" to "twilight". The violent explosion of death made Chen Rui think of The supernova cast by Shura. starburst. Electromagnetic radiation illuminated the entire galaxy, forming a gorgeous and dazzling nebula. Many nearby planets were swallowed up, and some of them became wreckage.
Another planet hit by another comet and reduced to wreckage and cosmic dust is also an annihilation.
In the face of time, destruction is so simple.
Destruction is the end of everything, and there is nothing immortal from ancient times, even the eternal gods in legends.
The flow of time is getting faster and faster, and the speed of destruction is also increasing. The explosion or annihilation in the vision gradually becomes a feeling. This feeling is not fear, but a kind of faint kindness, as if it is some kind of innate law, or as there is a saying, life starts from birth, and it is the process of pursuing destruction.
Chen Rui closed his "eyes", feeling the original power of destruction from his mind, and felt that his soul was moving synchronously, as if some corresponding law was being cultivated.
The law of destruction is in life, in the hand.
Chen Rui opened his eyes and looked at his hands, as if he had grasped some key.
Although I can't fully understand it now, the seeds have been successfully planted, and it's only a matter of time before I understand it.
hands? Chen Rui suddenly realized something. The surrounding scene changed, and he was no longer in the cosmic space, but in another room. This room is large, the lighting is dim, and the layout and atmosphere are a bit weird. There are many people around, all dressed in black. cloak with a metal mask.
He was looking at his hands, each with a strange mark drawn on the palms of both hands. This mark exudes an ancient and vicissitudes of life. It is somewhat similar to the meaning of ancient runes, but it is not the same. It should represent a certain a serious meaning.
"Now, concentrate and put your hands on top of this crystal ball." A cloaked man who looked like a leader in front of him said, his voice was a little hoarse, it was a woman, the color of the mask on her face was the same as the ordinary bronze color Different, showing a light golden color.
Crystal ball? Chen Rui set his gaze on the translucent crystal ball in front of him, about the size of a football, with a strange meaning. Not only that, Chen Rui also felt the hostility and even killing intent of the cloaked people around him, as if he was ready to kill him at any time, by the way, where is the Analytical Eye? What about the super system? Seems like those are gone
Chen Ruizheng was puzzled, his body had already walked up, and he seemed to be out of control, and then he stretched out his hands involuntarily towards the crystal ball, and the originally colorless crystal ball gradually brightened, emitting a light red light.
The murderous intent of the surrounding cloaked men seemed to fade a lot, the light became stronger and stronger, and finally turned into a rich blood color. Chen Rui could clearly feel that his hands were deliberately suppressing a certain kind of aura, which had already surprised the cloaked people around him.
Chen Rui didn't smile, but he felt a smile appearing on his face, and he already vaguely understood - this is not his body!
(Darkness, soul time travel again?)
(Where is my big demon world? Where is my big harem? Could it be that he was deported because he didn't apply for a temporary residence permit in another world at the Space-Time Administration?)
(Does this count as another rant?)
(Why use "again"...)
"It's surprising that you have such a level of faith," said the cloaked woman in the lead, "May the Lord of Destruction bless you. From today onwards, you are an official Black Death."
Black dead! These three words startled Chen Rui, and everything around him gradually disappeared and gathered into another scene.
Although it was late at night with low visibility, the buildings in front of him still made Chen Rui feel familiar. It turned out to be the Church of Light. In terms of scale, it is similar to the church in Gudan Town, Yangshao Kingdom, where Chen Rui once stayed. It should be a church in a small town.
Several black cloaked people rushed towards the church like black smoke, and the body that Chen Rui "possessed" was also among them. After a while, all church personnel were slaughtered.
The cloaked people drew strange symbols on the ground with the blood of the priests, while Chen Rui rushed all the way into the prayer hall, pretending to be fighting with several light knights, but an invisible force flew out of his body soundlessly , attached to the statue of the God of Light in the main hall, the blurred face of the God of Light gradually changed into a familiar appearance for Chen Rui.
This face is his otaku face on earth!
Chen Rui finally knew whose body his soul was attached to—Sura!
No, this is not soul possession, it should be... Shura's memory, he is now like a bystander, watching Shura's memory!
The avatar is actually equivalent to a "robot" that completely obeys and accepts the command of the main body. It is highly intelligent, similar to a puppet of the God-eating mask. Under the "hosting" situation, it uses independent judgment and response to complete the tasks delivered by the main body, such as The battle with Bai Ye was like this, whether it was the fighting consciousness or the ability to grasp the timing, it was no less than a real strong man.
The mission Chen Rui gave Shura back then was to steal the power of faith, but he never expected that Shura would join a secret church that the Church of Light regarded as a mortal enemy, and became a black dead disciple!
After the face of the statue of the God of Light in the Prayer Hall changed, the power of faith began to pour into Shura's body crazily. This method was almost eager for quick success, which was completely opposite to Chen Rui's long stream of water when he was in the ground world. However, it was Chen Rui who was trying to hide his identity at the beginning. Instead of stealing quietly, and now Shura, who is a black dead disciple, is blatantly plundering, so naturally there is no need to worry about being exposed.
The sacred aura of the statue of light was rapidly weakening, and the statue was cracked because of this. Shura had already killed several knights of light, and when he sensed someone coming in from outside, he punched the statue of light and shattered it.
It was the leading woman who came in. Seeing the scene where Shura smashed the statue of light, she praised: "Good job!"
Shura walked out of the hall, and the black dead disciples quickly evacuated the Church of Light. The strange patterns drawn by blood began to burn, and soon, the entire church was turned into a sea of flames.
At this moment, the scene changed again, and the place where Chen Rui was located turned into a large hall.
At the forefront is an altar building, filled with scorching hot breath, and there are three layers of strange reliefs on the wall behind the altar.
These reliefs are the "gods" enshrined and worshiped by this mysterious church. They seem to be covered by a strange force, even with Shura's eyesight, they can't see through them.
"Li Cha, your performance and contributions during this period have been quite outstanding. Now you will be promoted to a third-level deacon, and a petal of the Flower of Darkness will be rewarded." The woman in the cloak with a somewhat hoarse voice spoke, she is the bishop of this mysterious church One of them is also the leader of this division.
Shura stepped forward to receive the silver mask and a box representing the identity of the deacon, and the female bishop rewarded the rest of the black dead disciples. About twenty believers were rewarded with the petals of the "flower of darkness". Many black dead disciples below They all showed envy. Seems like something amazing.
Shura opened the box and saw that there was a blood-red petal inside. This petal looks like a clear crystal, but it is not a dead thing carved, but has real vitality, which looks coquettish and beautiful.
Chen Rui's consciousness also saw this petal, felt the strange breath, and suddenly thought of a terrifying thing.
"The flower of darkness is a holy object bestowed by the ruler, which can make ordinary people have extraordinary power close to the gods. Now, you can start to absorb the power of the petals." The voice of the female bishop sounded: "Put the petals in the palm of your hand and relax. Mind and all the power of resistance, feel the gift of the master with all your heart, if there is any special change, don't be surprised or frightened at all, this will be the beginning of your detachment from ordinary people... Only the most devout believers in destruction can use it, If he is a heretic with impure beliefs or ulterior motives, his body will be wiped out under the power of the ruler."
The most devout believer in destruction? Shura showed a secretive smile, sat down, took out the petals in the palm of his hand without thinking, closed his eyes, and the petals gradually turned into a red mist, covering Shura's body.
Chen Rui could clearly feel that the destructive aura in the petals was easily absorbed by Shura's body, but a special imprint was deliberately preserved.
"Absorbed the power of the holy object so quickly?" The female bishop looked at Shura who opened his eyes in surprise, and then nodded appreciatively: "Sure enough, he is the most devout believer in the God of Destruction."
Shura smiled and didn't answer, just nodded. The other people who got the Dark Flower didn't wake up. Many people showed pain on their faces, and two people didn't know whether it was because they didn't have enough faith or their physique couldn't bear it. as ashes.
Chen Rui glanced at the reliefs by accident, and suddenly found that the blurred reliefs had changed, and a statue on the bottom floor became clear.
It was a short and thin monster with sharp claws and a rather large mouth, occupying half of the face. The two rows of protruding fangs looked very ferocious.
This image is very familiar to Chen Rui, who has the inheritance of the ancient alchemy civilization. Coupled with the flower of darkness before, he finally understands what the "god" enshrined in this mysterious church is.
