In the darkest hour before dawn, Zach walks along the beach in the South Side.
To the north is the new port of the Southern District. It will obviously take a long time for the complete project to be completed, but in order to relieve the pressure on the Northern District Port, it can only be activated in advance. In the artificial light source, the ships and vehicles coming in and out looked busy from where Zach was.
However, Zach did not pay too much attention to the new port. What Zach focused on was the east, the horizon. That may be plated with a layer of gold at any time, and then the true light that breeds all life in this world will be pushed to the horizon of the sky.
Zach, I want to ask that 'thing' that Sam confirmed to be on the sun, what 'it' is doing.
Three times Sam perceived the 'it' in the sun. For the first time, a chosen shapeshifter from the Sabbat suddenly appeared beside Zach. The second time around, Simon mastered the day travel. The third time, Eli was sent to Zach.
It seems that it cannot accurately describe what a being that is beyond Zach's understanding did. But these three things were all too much of a coincidence.
Coincidentally, they are all helping Zach advance what Zach wants to do.
If this is not doubtful, then there will be no doubt in life.
Zach is here to learn.
Of course, this pursuit of knowledge is not completely neutral, and Zach has preconceived emotions. This needs to be explained in detail.
First of all, suddenly bringing the shapechanger from the west to Zach's side certainly accelerated Zach's response to the incident of "human Arthur becoming vampire Simon", but this incident did also cause unnecessary confusion in the Sabbat. trouble
Everyone must have noticed a certain detail. If Zac hadn't reminded the shapechanger, let him promptly notify his family at the Sabbat that he was safe, and took the initiative to go to the Cappadocia clan to explain the situation. Otherwise, then, then A skinchanger's family will believe that their family has been attacked by humans in the anti-alien movement.
Secondly, Zach cannot attribute the acquisition of Simon's diurnal ability to something done by the beings on the sun, but it is definitely related to 'it'... Simon was smoking too much at the time. Based on his own experience, Zach That is to say, the complete historical experience of the Thirteen Clan's daily walking ability has determined that Simon has been punished by the laws of the world. But it turned out not to be the case. Simon successfully gained the ability to travel by day.
Everything seemed fine, but the fact that the vampire's daily travel experience was misjudged made Zach faintly worried. It’s still unclear what I’m worried about. It may be related to the fact that in the myth of the Republic, there used to be more than one sun…
Finally, the appearance of Eli is the combination of the previous two. Eli not only came to Grande from the Republic in an instant, making Louise worried and puzzled in the Republic, but at the same time, he gained the day that he needed Eli to continue practicing breathing techniques. OK.
Zach's pursuit of knowledge is not like that of children when learning new knowledge. Children who are still ignorant will happily learn whatever the teacher teaches on the podium. Zach is not ignorant, he is the guy who ran to the podium to block the honest guy after the bell rang with a question. The kind of guy who won't let the teacher go until he gets what he wants to know~
Oh, by the way, for safety reasons, Zach is completely alone now, and Sam is not in Zach's body, hiding in Grande's basement to listen to Eli and Simon's run-in.
Security considerations
Tsk, Sam suspected that the 'it' on this sun was the god who represented the Sun's Supreme Principle in the mythology of the Republic.
Deliberate waiting seems to make time pass slowly. In Zach's subjective opinion, this period of darkness before dawn lasted a bit long.
Unknown is also one of the reasons. Zach doesn't know if there will be any results if he waits for the sun to appear. Zach can shout to the east after the sun comes up, "Hey, man, let's talk~" But who can guarantee that the man on the sun will gladly accept this invitation
What is more likely to happen is that Zach is watching the sunrise, watching the sun rise on the pole, watching the sunset...
Zach's mood was not stable.
And the sea wolf, still under the cover of night, did not help Zach's emotional preparation at all.
Blah blah blah, blah blah, blah blah...
irritable.
Another wave hit the shore, and Zach was splashed with salty water. I am not happy to tidy up my appearance.
"You have nothing to do, why not come and help." A familiar voice appeared amidst the monotonous sound of the waves. A female figure stood on the sea.
Zach focused his sight, uh, it was Mazu, the republican god in charge of the sea in Annabelle's mouth. If she doesn't stay in the republican dream in the southeast, why is she here
"What are you helping me with?" Zach didn't have a good impression of this Republican God, but he didn't have any bad feelings at all. She 'murdered' a republican who had legal status in the Federation, which was indeed a crime, but after taking a step back and seeing the whole incident clearly, what she murdered was just another person who did not regard this world as his 'home' and treated life as a cocoon. , a monk who wants to go to another world to become a god. Nothing to blame. The republican government has made it clear that it does not want to be an enemy of these true gods. It only hopes that they will stay in their own world and not participate in human affairs. Zach wouldn't even bother asking for trouble to stir up hatred.
I saw Mazu raise her hand, and a body was thrown away in the swaying sea, over the waves that kept hitting the shore, and landed at Zac's feet.
Zach glanced down and frowned, "Siren, he's dead."
This God of the Republic is killing the Siren? ? Why
Zach curled his lips, "Did the Siren offend you too?"
"They attack ships traveling between the Republic and the Federation, plunder goods, and harm people. And I am the god who protects the peace of the sea, what do you think?" The goddess had no expression on her face, and she raised her hand to pull back her damp hair. Behind the ear, "Do you want to help or not."
The edge of the east is dark and has no intention of changing. Zach pursed his lips, "Vampires are not good at moving in water." To be honest, vampires can basically only stay alive in water...
"There is no need for you to go into the sea." Half of Mazu's body sank into the water, but she still explained the situation, "The ability of these creatures to resurrect each other in the sea has made me lose patience. What I need you to do is to make sure What I throw out remains dead."
"Copy that." Zac stopped talking and took another look at the Kraken at his feet, feeling the blood that had turned into vampire poison in his body, and started to stand.
The figure of the goddess has disappeared on the sea, but the body of the siren is constantly being thrown out of the sea and comes to Zach.
Occasionally, there is still a glimmer of life in the sea monsters, and Zach puts his palms together and pulls them... Those sea monsters that are dead and can no longer die, Zach will not take a second look at them. This is a job that fully utilizes the characteristics of a vampire.
It didn't take long before the beach started to look... scary.
Siren... In appearance, she is a very beautiful woman, just like a seductress. So, you can imagine the whole beach covered with beautiful corpses...
Zach's desire to calm down became increasingly unstable...
After pulling out a Kraken body that was still alive, he asked, "How many more are there?" Zach's question was asked to the waves.
The waves answered, and amid the crashing and huffing, Mazu emerged from the wolf flowers and walked onto the shore. "Have you shown compassion for these creatures that frequently attack your city?" Mazu's body was close to Zach's. By that time, it had become dry and normal. Her eyes swept over the Kraken corpses stacked next to Zach, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth that seemed to be Zach's.
"I didn't." Zach didn't lie. The sirens turned into men by Papa Midnight deserve sympathy, because they were exploited by Papa Midnight to take advantage of the most vulnerable flaw of this race (the race itself cannot reproduce). But the Kraken that attacks Patton and attacks ships at sea? No need for sympathy, plundering, is the pride of their race, just like the pride of vampires is immortality. To be proud, you must have the awareness to pay the price of pride, which is universal truth.
Mazu did not question Zach's answer and stood side by side with Zach.
Zach was a little confused as to why the other party acted like this, but it seemed pointless to ask. After being surrounded by so many Kraken corpses, Zach knew very well how much stronger this goddess was than himself. Mazu can do whatever she wants, and Zach can't stop her at all. It's better to let her do whatever she wants.
"If you're worried about humans discovering these bodies after daylight, no, my husband will take care of them."
Zach felt his emotions swaying more and more, "You have a husband?"
There was probably an ambiguity in the way Zach asked the question.
"Should I have two husbands?" The goddess looked at Zach with eyes like the sea, oppressing Zach.
Zach didn't know what he was thinking, "You shouldn't." He was framed by his own mistake.
This performance made the goddess who slaughtered countless sea monsters laugh. She laughed, "I've been repeating this for a few days." She seemed to be explaining the situation, which was quite considerate. At least Zach didn't have to worry about human society discovering a large number of corpses on the beach in the South District. "Night is falling. When I do this, I clear the sea of species that are no longer necessary."
Zach's eyelids twitched. It was the other party's words, 'There is no longer a species necessary to exist'.
"At sunrise." In response to these words from her mouth, at the limit of the eastern vision, a flash of light split the sea and the sky.
Before Zach had time to adjust his emotions and welcome the sudden sunrise, something strange happened around him.
The body of the Kraken was burned...
It was not burning in common sense. Zach did not see visible flames. Only the body of the Kraken was reduced to ashes in a way that seemed to be burned, but countless times faster!
"My husband will erase this garbage from this world."
Zach's mood was exactly the same as that of the wolf on the shore, pattering and patting his body and mind, "Who is your husband?"
"He." The goddess raised her hand and pointed at the sun rising above the sea level with a smile.
Zach didn't even have time to react, "You should have received the meeting gift he gave you."
Zach's two eyes were about to cross, wanting to look at the sunrise with one and the goddess beside him. This act of forcing two 'dazzling' events into the field of vision became a burden on Zach's physiology. Zach's voice was a little unstable, "What kind of meeting gift?"
"He sent the two people you wanted to you, and also helped your two friends obtain the vampire's ability to travel by day." The goddess smiled, "You didn't notice it, did you?"
Hehe, Zack wouldn't be here if he hadn't noticed!
Focus! Zach forced himself to gather his thoughts that were about to scatter, "Is this... a meeting ceremony?"
"Otherwise?" The goddess moved a little. There was no special meaning. She just moved her body out of the way so that the sunlight from the east could shine unobstructed on the unincinerated body of the siren behind her. She also pulled Zach and moved him once, and then said, "After he woke up, I had a serious discussion with him about the current situation in the world. We both agreed that there is no need to fight against the world. After all, In any case, the Republic was the country that gave birth to us. It is our problem that it cannot keep up with the progress of republican mankind. We are their gods. If we cannot continue to help them, at least we should not continue to create obstacles for them."
Zach's eyebrows, both eyebrows, were raised high.
The words of the goddess Mazu summarize all of Zach’s knowledge of the God of the Republic!
Remember, Zach’s first knowledge of the God of the Republic came from Mo. It was Mo who told Zach that the Republic is a magical land where everything can be born, and then everything can become a god! Then, Zach’s understanding of the God of the Republic was based on self-reflection. Shijian told Zach the difference between true gods and false gods, as well as the close connection between human government and true gods in the history of the Republic. It is also a lesson that reveals the reason why the current republican human government no longer needs gods. The republican gods in heaven have accidentally missed the progress of human civilization in the republic! One day in heaven, ten years underground, right~
Finally, it is Annabelle, no, it is also Mazu at this moment. It was she who refreshed Zach's understanding of God. God does not appear in front of humans because he does not want to cause commotion... This is not the point. The point is that Annabel confessed the real reason why Mazu murdered the republican monk in the southeast: One World The law does not require two gods.
Now, rubbing all these cognitions together, Zach had an epiphany. The true gods of the Republic, such as Mazu, who have already occupied the divine status in the heaven, are the beneficiaries of the republican government, who are the common alien races of the false gods and republics!
ha!
The Republican government, together with Papa Midnight, Pucci, and the Guardian Alliance of this world formed by vampires, are helping these true gods of heaven to completely cut off the path of republican aliens to become gods and compete with them for godhood!
'There is no need to fight against the world', the goddess said.
It’s not that it’s not necessary, it’s that I wish to!
"This expression." The goddess, still smiling, looked at Zach's high eyebrows, "I like it~ you seem to understand~"
Zach understood. His high eyebrows slowly returned to their original positions. Our vampire emotions finally began to calm down~
There is only one question left, "Thank you for the meeting gift. I have only one question. Why are you so sincere to me? The republican government, Papa Midnight, Pucci, aren't you the ones you should be friendly with?" It's very realistic. The problem is, what Zach understands now, it is more important for people on these sides of the Republic to understand it.
"We gave it." The goddess waved her hands, with helplessness on her face, "But they are obviously not as smart as you." Uh... "The lesson is our sincerity to the republican government. There are so many gods that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the republicans, but we don't have it." We sent out Jian, the god who once served as a tool for republican rulers to identify false gods." So that's it, "We were not prepared to hinder the process of the republican government from the very beginning, and we even used tools that could help the republican government advance. The tools for clearing the alien race are now in their hands." The goddess's eyes suddenly darkened for a moment, "Dan Jian, I was distracted."
