Amon was sitting in the huge mountainside cave, talking with George and others through the incarnation of the idol in Salem. When he was thinking of Maria in a daze, suddenly something flew out of his arms, hanging in the air and emitting a soft light. This is a pupil of the earth, which can be used to record various information after being refined by divine arts.
This divine stone, Amon, has been with him for several years. Back then, he was still the captain of the guard at the archives of the Temple of Isis, a sixth-level warrior, and Maria decided to send him to investigate the topography of the Duke Plain after the flood. Before leaving, Maria gave him this special spar and told him that there was some kind of information in it, and he might see it in the future.
Amon didn't read any information in the pupil of the earth at that time. At first, he thought it was because his realm was not enough. But later, he already possessed the ninth-level achievement of the original power, and became a god-like existence in the world, but he still couldn't read any information. However, he could tell that this sacred stone was specially processed and contained some kind of subtle induction. It was the secret divine technique of Isis's guardian saint, and Amon didn't know much about it.
Today, the divine stone suddenly flew out of his arms and was suspended in the air. A blurry light and shadow first appeared in the mountainside, and Maria's voice came from the light and shadow: "Amon, I have something to tell you , and call Gabriel."
Amon immediately realized what was going on with this divine stone. It didn't record any information, but poured mana into it to refine a sensory magic array with secret magic to transmit information over a long distance. This kind of transmission is one-way. Maria can send the information she wants to tell him to Amon, but Amon can only see and listen, but can't say anything to Maria.
Theoretically, the distance it can transmit information is infinite, but in fact it is not unlimited. This is related to the mana poured into the refining process and the achievements of the caster himself. If Maria can sense its existence, she can send the information, but only once, when the magic power poured into the God Stone is exhausted, the transmission will end, and the God Stone will also be damaged.
Maria gave Amon this sacred stone back then as a reward for his mission. At that time, she only said one sentence, but she never mentioned it again, nor did she ask Amon if he still had this sacred stone or if he had made it. Have other uses? But Amon kept this sacred stone with him all the time. He didn't expect to receive a message from Maria suddenly today.
Amon, who was in shock, forgot that he was talking to George and others for a moment, opened his eyes in the mountain belly and shouted at Gabriel, the voice passed through the mountain wall and spread all over the Garden of Eden, then he didn't want to say anything more, stood up nervously Looking at the sound of light and shadow coming from the pupil of the earth, he didn't even notice that Gabriel walked into the mountainside.
Amon saw Maria again, and she turned out to be dressed as a girl in his memory, without a golden crown or scepter, standing in the light and shadow in a long white dress and whispering softly: "Amon, I am Amon Kou. All these years, there are some things I can't say to you. Wait until the day I can really say, maybe we will never meet again, maybe everything has changed, maybe I am by your side.
All of this is unknown, and I can't imagine it, so I left you this pupil of the earth, which allows you to see me and hear my words from thousands of miles away.
When this day really comes, I didn't expect it to end like this. Maybe you will blame me for being so cruel and let you see all this with your own eyes? This is my destination, my belief has never wavered, my belief is always pure, but I have my struggle and yearning, just like you have your struggle and desire.
I know what you are doing, and I know what you will face sooner or later. This is the last testimony I can leave for you. In this world, I don't know whether to say regret or luck. My heart is just like yours, so there is no need to speak again. "
After she finished speaking, the scene in the light and shadow changed, and it turned into Maria wearing a golden crown and holding a scepter, praying to the goddess Isis in the temple, when Seth's voice suddenly came from the void: " Maria, your prayers have moved the gods, and you will listen to the oracle of the archangel... "
This happened three months ago. Maria used information magic to reproduce this scene and sent it to Amon. After that conversation, Seth said coldly: "I just came to tell you the oracle that will come today, not to ask you to agree. In three months, all the city-states of the Ecu Empire will send oracles, Maria. According to the guidance of the gods, the saint married the pharaoh and became the chief priest of the empire, which symbolized the final fusion of the theocracy and kingship of the upper and lower egypt.
Someone will announce it all for you, whether you like it or not. Even if you die, someone will pretend to be you and complete this ceremony in your identity. This record will be left in the official annals of the Ecu Empire, and this story will be recorded in the poems sung in the temple. You prepare well, I will ask you again in three months, whether you complete it voluntarily or let me complete it for you, this makes no difference to the Ecu Empire. "
The light from the Pupil of the Earth dimmed, and then became brighter again, and the light and shadow emitted turned into another scene, which was what was happening in the distant Temple of Isis at this moment—
Mary stood in the main temple, wearing a long white dress without a golden crown, but took out the scepter of the saint, and the tears of the gods on the top of the scepter shone with a faint golden light. There is no follower around, and everyone has been sent away by the saint.
At this time, Long Teng, the chief warrior of the temple, came in and saluted: "My lord, according to your order, everyone has been ordered to leave the hall three miles away, and the Isis army has been ordered to martial law. This movement is not small, really Is it an oracle from the gods? Why did the gods want you to do this? All the high priests are asking."
Maria replied lightly: "There will be a miracle here today, the oracle that Archangel Seth sent down three months ago. I order everyone to leave this temple three miles away. Strictly enforce it. Warrior Longteng, you have to remember that no one is allowed to disobey the order, so you should leave immediately and go three miles away."
Long Teng frowned slightly: "But when are we going to wait?"
Maria: "You will naturally understand when the time comes, and the people will be restrained to wait three miles away, waiting for the miracle to appear! Anyone who dares to disobey the order and approach the temple will be arrested immediately regardless of their status. We will discuss how to deal with it afterwards."
The always gentle Lady Saint made such a resolute order, and there was a sense of awe-inspiring majesty. Long Teng couldn't ask, so he had to follow the order and leave. Not long after he left, Seth's voice sounded in the temple: "Maria, I'm here today to ask you if you've made a decision. Why did you drive everyone so far away? Talk and no one will hear you."
Maria didn't look at the place where the voice came from, but looked at the statue of Isis in front of her and replied calmly: "You told me that you were Seth, the chief of the angels. But I just heard a voice , you cannot prove your identity."
Seth's voice was obviously sullen: "You are a great magician and the guardian saint of the Temple of Isis, you should be able to tell who I am!"
Maria shook her head slightly: "I've never met Seth, I just heard your voice, and I don't know who spoke to me in Seth's voice. Please don't forget, you can also claim to be Speak with the voice of the goddess Isis. If you really want to convey the oracle to me, please show your true form. According to the legend, you are ugly and have the face of a donkey, but the statue is very handsome. I want to see your True appearance. In order to prevent the idlers from seeing the gods, I asked everyone to withdraw from the temple and stay away from three miles away."
Seth snorted coldly: "You actually want me to show up? You know that I'm here today just to ask about your decision, but it won't change anything because of your decision. You just need to answer yes or no."
Maria looked at the tears of the gods on the staff: "I will only answer when I see you. If I don't see you, I won't make any decisions. You can ignore my thoughts, but don't Forget, the saint holding the staff also has great power, if I attack with all my strength, no one in Memphis City will be my opponent. Your so-called plan will also become a joke."
Seth sneered: "Without the status of a saint, you are just a great magician with a powerful magic weapon. Do you think you will be the opponent of the gods? No matter how powerful you are, you can't compete with the empire. Willpower will only bring destruction to oneself."
Maria nodded: "I know, but that would also require a heavy price. Seth, do you only hide in the clouds and give orders? Why don't you show up in person, is it because you are afraid of me?"
As soon as the words fell, Maria turned around suddenly, and a pervasive coercion appeared silently in the hall, and a figure appeared at the door, as if stepping out of the endless void. This man is a stalwart man, standing with his hands behind his back, has a strong figure and a handsome face, definitely not ugly. But his face is indeed a bit long, and his eyes are also a bit small. It is an exaggerated ridicule to say that he has a donkey's face and a human body.
Maria had "seen" him many times before, and this person was the Archangel Seth on the altar. As soon as Seth appeared, he said coldly: "Isis protects the saint, which symbolizes protection, blessing and wisdom, and it is the most stupid choice for you to do that. You could have become the high priest of the kingdom, a symbolic Empress Ecu, as long as Isis’s mission of protecting the saintess ends from your hands, complete the theocratic unity of the empire. The goddess Isis is no longer there, as it should be.”
Maria just looked at him, neither saluting nor answering, and the tears of the gods on the scepter kept flickering.
Seth also stared at Maria, but the anger in his eyes gradually disappeared, and finally said calmly: "You can't be the opponent of the gods, even if you are strong, you can't be my enemy. If I don't want to face you, You will never be able to meet a god who is truly beyond immortality. The reason why I show up is to tell you one thing."
Maria finally said, "What do you want to tell me, is that the goddess Isis is no longer there, and there is no need for the guardian saint of Isis to exist?"
Seth didn't answer or deny it, and changed his tone: "You are already a ninth-level magician, and you just broke through the ninth-level achievement, right? It's really rare! You are qualified to fill the position in the Jiulian God System, because I also appreciate your achievements and luck. Now I can give you another choice, which is not only a gift from the gods, but also the result of your own efforts.
As long as you make an oath, you can be introduced into the Jiulian God System, share the secrets of the gods and become an angel, and have the opportunity to transcend eternal life in the future. I am your guide, you only need to swear an oath to me, in addition to being loyal to the Jiulian Godline, you only need to complete one more task, which is to kill Amon, and the opportunity to become a god is before your eyes! "
Maria took a step forward: "I'm surprised that you will change your mind and give me another choice. What about the original choice? If I refuse, what are you going to do?"
Seth said indifferently: "You can't negotiate with the gods, this is the greatest blessing in the world. If you refuse, I don't know what else you want? Then you have only one choice left, destroy the soul imprint, I still need you To accomplish what I want to do with my identity, no matter whether it is a body without a soul or not you, people will only know that it is the Holy Maiden of Mary."
Maria took another step forward and said, "Are you so confident that you can do all this?"
Seth: "Anyway, there are only you and me here, so let me make it clear. Even Horus is not my opponent. Now that I have become the de facto main god of the Nine-United God System, it is not difficult to do all this. I just I took a fancy to your aptitude and courage, so I gave you another choice."
Maria slowly raised the scepter: "Seeing you appear from the void, I finally understand one thing, powerful warriors or magicians can fight against the gods in the world, but they cannot enter the world that belongs to the gods." The world. In the battle between gods and mortals, as long as you don't want to show up, you are invincible. But you have already shown up, and you are standing too close to me."
A gray scroll appeared out of thin air, it was the Destruction Storm she had brought from Amon. The old lunatic thought that when he built the iron staff, it was to imitate the scepter of the guardian saint of the Isis Temple. The Wind Charm Dance inlaid on the scepter was also a refined spatial magic weapon. When Maria raised the scepter, the scroll in the Wind Charm Dance was sacrificed.
Seth snapped, "What is this?"
Maria: "You don't know Destroyer Storm, do you?"
Seth curled his lips: "Destruction Storm? I know very well that the Temple of Isis tried to make it but failed. You just use such an empty shell to scare me? I want to tell you that even the real Destruction Storm can't destroy me. The legend is just an exaggeration!"
Maria took another step forward: "I just want to try!"
Seth wanted to back away, his figure was in a trance for a while, as if he was about to disappear into the void, but he became clear again, and his tone couldn't help revealing panic: "How do you know this secret?"
what secret? Maria immediately gave the answer, and she said with a pink face, "After all, I am the guardian saint of the Temple of Isis, and I can know some things. When the gods are locked in battle, they cannot leave this world freely, unless you It’s a pity that it’s too late to break free from my lock!”
Seth yelled, and a staff appeared in his hand, but the gray storm of destruction unfolded just at this moment. A terrifying breath erupted, and there was darkness between the sky and the earth. The light seemed to be swallowed by a black hole that suddenly appeared, without even making a sound, and the surrounding objects were constantly being involved, as if swept by a storm, everything turned into nothingness.
…
The priests of the Isis Temple retreated three miles away from the main temple under the order of the Holy Lady. Since the main shrine is close to the shrine square, two nearby residential areas need to be evacuated within three miles. Long Teng sent out the Isis Legion to stand guard, and everyone was not allowed to enter this area, waiting for the miracle to happen. People were discussing and asking Long Teng what kind of miracle the Saintess wanted everyone to wait for, but Long Teng couldn't answer.
At this moment, several high priests suddenly let out a muffled groan at the same time. Feeling the disturbing horror attack, they lowered their heads and covered their chests, as if their hearts were inexplicably clenched. come up. The great magicians with the highest achievements felt the strongest, while ordinary people raised their heads and looked in the direction of the main temple, alarmed by the inexplicable and terrifying aura.
I saw that the distance between heaven and earth was being swallowed by a sudden dark storm, and the light seemed to disappear in a black hole vortex. The terrifying storm was constantly expanding with the breath of destruction. Many people let out an exclamation, turned around and ran away, as if there were evil spirits chasing after them.
Ninth-level great magician Wald held his chest and shouted loudly: "Long Teng, quickly order the army to retreat!"
The black light swelled and engulfed the world, and it seemed that it was about to spread to everyone in a few breaths. The soldiers of the Isis Legion on alert and the crowd of onlookers flew back like a tide. But the range of the black light burst was not that far. It just destroyed all the buildings around the main temple for a mile, and then slowly disappeared. The magnificent main temple of Isis and the side halls on both sides have been reduced to scorched earth.
Hearing a mournful long hiss, a figure soared into the sky amidst the black light, and quickly disappeared into the sky. No one could see who it was, Seth was seriously injured and fled without even looking back!
…
"Aiko!!!" Thousands of miles away, a heart-piercing long cry resounded through the Garden of Eden, and a figure flew out from the mountainside, smashing through the barrier of the space magic array and rushing out. Peran Rose, who was building a large space array, was taken aback. Amon rushed away without even looking at the road, and a section of the magic space boundary that had just been built was abruptly destroyed.
What happened to make Amon, who has always been calm and perseverant, lose his mind and rush out of the Garden of Eden like this? Amon just flew away, and then a white light flashed, and Gabriel also sped away in the direction Amon left without even having time to say a word. Peran Rose and Moses looked at each other, wondering what happened to the two of them
In the hollow of the mountain belly of the Garden of Eden, there was a spray of blood on the ground, and the broken god stone fell into the blood.
