v4 Chapter 120: there's nothing to be afraid of anymore
"We can only find out that the members of the Order of the Rose appear and disappear from here. This is the only place they come in and out... But the bottom is obviously a dead end. Bishop Hector whispered: "And they were sent here Those who come to follow, if they can't leave within three hours, will die suddenly here for no reason. Even if you leave soon, you will be seriously ill. So we couldn't figure out how they got in and out at all, and we didn't dare to expand the scale of the adjustment, for fear of attracting the attention of the Order of the Rose. The further down, the older it is. The more you go down, the more intense the curse-this may not be describing two things, but two manifestations of the same thing. Leonardo murmured softly.
He couldn't help laughing out loud.
He has already guessed the essence of the secret door of the Order of the Rose.
For those without awakened psionic powers, no soul survives at all after death. Even after the vitality dissipated, if it could be rescued. People can also wake up immediately without calling for spirits. As for the psykers, they borrowed their psychic power from the mountains during their lifetime. After death, you have to dedicate your spiritual body as a debt. Their spirits will be extinguished on the only curtain and turned into mountains. This is also a very fair mutualistic symbiotic relationship. Therefore, from the very beginning, the concept of "underworld" did not exist at all. Even if it is a gathering place for free souls, what they have is only a "curse", not wronged souls. But ordinary people do not know the truth.
After all, Leonardo is the only one in this world who can return alive from the end. But there is a legend in the world that "the living are not allowed to enter the ranks", which is undoubtedly a lie that is difficult to verify the authenticity.
But mortals also have the wisdom of mortals. They thought, since the living cannot be known and the dead cannot be spoken. Then pretend it doesn't exist. And if this concept is reversed, the "underworld" is equivalent to "a place where the living cannot know". As long as you are a living person, you will not be able to see the real gate. Knowing this, Leonardo instantly understood the other metaphors of "city of rebirth" and "renew from top to bottom".
He looked at Yastaru, smiled lightly and said, "That's up to you, my dear."
grown ups. I understand.
Yastaru responded with a soft and light voice, and bowed slightly to Leonardo. At the moment when her body sneezed slightly. The surrounding earth seemed to tremble slightly for a moment.
If you look down from directly above. You will see that Yastaru's long curly hair with soft brilliance gradually loses its brilliance, and turns into a thick black that is deeper than the night.
Like jade turning into bones, forests turning into dead wood. The surrounding earth also lost its luster, as if something invisible and insubstantial spread out from Yastaru as the center... Daiya was gradually deprived of life. It was a curse visible to the naked eye. If any mortal saw this scene nearby, he would immediately collapse on the ground with weakness and start to vomit violently.
This place has been turned into a real "underworld" by Yastaro...if there is such a thing in this world.
But at the same time, the surrounding earth shook. Somewhere around the ground, under this materialized curse, it changed from tangible to invisible.
A long staircase appeared from the original ground for no reason!
...Your Majesty, how did you crack it? Bishop Hector was dumbfounded at this. This is by no means a brute force crack, but just entered the correct key, causing the barrier to change correctly. If Yastaru removes the power of the curse, the staircase will be broken again. disappear.
But the problem is... Leonardo just glanced at it.
How on earth did he figure it out?
...It's just because I understand Yastaro better. Leonardo smiled, trying to understand with Hector. Explained to him in language that he also knew.
Unlike Baimon and Baal, Yastaroth's powers are very complicated.
"Leather" and so on. But there are only two powers that Yastaru really holds. That is, "short-lived life" and "eternal death". Demon gods. Instead of possessing multiple complex abilities like Asmodeus, Baal or Amon, their psionic abilities were alienated by special techniques at the beginning of their awakening. This can make their psionic abilities Talent has undergone directional mutation and specialization in a special direction... It is enough to manage a planet, but it will not lead to ruling the world because it is too omnipotent. Just like Baimon can explore all the written records on this planet, Yastaru's ability is also very simple. The essence of her ability is to determine the life and death of others.
Let the undeserving live, let the undeserving perish. It is not to give others a disease or serious injury, but to cut off their vitality. In the eyes of Yastaru, the lifespan of a mortal has a number of days—a maximum limit and a current value.
As long as it is a life with a limited lifespan, she can arbitrarily reduce the current value or the maximum lifespan. If the current value is deleted, this is an unprovoked serious injury or even fatal injury; if the maximum limit is deleted. It is instant aging, death, and turning into ashes. But she can also extend the lifespan of others for a limited time. Yastaru's touch. Not only can it delete the lives of others, but it can also replenish the missing vitality of others due to damage or being cursed to perfection. However, for those who have returned to their old age, Yastaru cannot continue their vitality for even a day . Even the person whose lifespan was deducted by herself cannot restore his own lifespan through Yastaru's forgiveness. Love is always short and changeable. Just like life itself. For mortals who don't know the truth, Yastaru is undoubtedly a goddess from the underworld, who can take away other people's souls with a wave of her hand; she is also a military **** in charge of killing. When the poison of the mansion spreads, people around will die in pieces; she also represents the **** of rebirth, because she can even bring life back to life in an instant.
And with the deepening of the two concepts of "temporary life" and "eternal death", and the increase in the number of living and dead, Yastaru's power is also gradually increasing. This is just like the beginning of Baimon. It takes time to learn a new emerging technology. But now he could even compare himself to a not-so-efficient computer.
People of the Order of the Rosary perform special rituals. Transform this "City of Rebirth" into "Underworld", and turn the passage leading to the stronghold into "Stairway to Hell"... thus erasing this road from the world of the living. And it is very simple to pass here. As long as the strong curse is covered, the correct path can be opened. However, Yastaru doesn't need to bother so much because the "ghost prison", or even the entire city of rebirth, is actually an altar to worship Yastaru!
The Order of the Rosary harnesses the power of this ancient god. It has constructed a barrier that is absolutely impossible for the living to see through and break.
But the retribution is that the righteous master whose identity was falsely used came in person.
