Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 651 Don't Try to Run

955

"You just left?"

Merlin's steps suddenly stopped. He wanted to ignore the voice in his ears, but found that he couldn't ignore it anyway.

He even wanted to hear what the voice had to say.

"Didn't you hear what Alger said?" Merlin replied, "He said that the 'Fool' should save these believers. Besides, the influence comes from the subconscious ocean, and it is not their decision to be hypnotized. I don't want to pursue anything. .”

It is useless to hold mortals accountable for the deeds committed by gods.

What's more, the believers of Poseidon are either natives of the colonies who live in poverty and have low status, or they are merchants and pirates who focus on participating in the faith, and most of them are the former. ...If they want to go to God's side, it may be a good ending for them.

"Are you going to let the people here go?" The voice in my ear seemed a little unbelievable. "They betrayed you. Not only do you not punish you or hold them accountable, you also want them to go to your opposite side freely. What do you think? of?"

Just by saying this, Merlin couldn't easily judge the position of the Lord of Mysteries, so he said nothing and waited for the next step. Sure enough, after a few seconds, the mysterious words came again:

"Look, they were originally your anchors."

Merlin was silent for a while. He still remembered how surprised and surprised he was when he first got the "Poseidon Scepter". This Sequence 3 sealed object gave him who was only Sequence 6 at the time initially exposed to the high-level world, allowing him to Knowing the responsibilities of gods in advance and assuming the responsibility of "Poseidon" also made the identity of "The Fool" more real... But a long time has passed from then to now, and the identity of "Poseidon" has gradually been transferred to Alger , and I have long since stopped taking the prayers of believers as seriously as I did in the very beginning.

Although the archipelago is the first Xinyang region he owns, his focus is no longer on the Rhoside Islands, but on Silver City and Moon City.

Because He decided to separate the "Poseidons" very early on, and those who spread the faith were mainly "Fools".

Later, Alger showed a strong desire for promotion, and the "Poseidon Scepter" only corresponded to Sequence 3. They hit it off immediately, and He readily decided to let Alger become the "God of the Sea" and his follower, just like "The World", turning falsehood into truth.

"They were originally your anchors, the believers you valued."

"Although the anchor can no longer be used to stabilize your mental state, but even so, you still care about them, right? As a result, they are now contaminated by God, and you have to push them away and leave."

Merlin couldn't help but feel a little irritated by these words, especially the sentence "The anchor can no longer be used to stabilize your mental state." Obviously it was a coincidence that he got the identity of Poseidon, and protecting the people was driven by a sense of responsibility, but this sentence made him feel as if he was protecting Poseidon's believers just to gain the faith of these humble and poor people. All functions are lost.

But in this case, does the attitude of the Lord of Mysteries allow himself to abandon these people, or does he find a way to save them?

"They believe in you and are so devout when they pray to the God of the Sea. Are you willing to just watch them be so devout to God?"

"what on earth do you want?"

"You should have thought about it just now." The Lord of Mysteries said, "They are hopeless and have betrayed you. What do you think you should do? Think about it carefully. If a group of your believers are taken away, what will you do? If you give away a batch, what else can you keep?"

"Haha, it seems you don't want to think about that."

"Then let me remind you that you have decided to sever ties with them before their faith has completely tilted towards God. Then God only needs to contaminate them if he wants to take something from you."

"Impossible." Merlin retorted decisively, "If he takes action against Silver City and Moon City..."

If God wants to take back the faith of the Eastern Continent, then He must fight with the opponent no matter what and use the breath of Origin Castle to overwhelm him!

The laughter of the Lord of Mysteries interrupted him:

"But can you guarantee that you will pay attention to them all the time? Yes, you don't have much feelings for the followers of Poseidon, so you ask your beloved to give up on them. You have feelings for the people in the Eastern Continent, so you don't want to hear these words . Your humanity has not been completely lost, and now you have sent away the believers you don’t value. When you become a god, you may not even care about the people of the Eastern Continent. After all, those are the data souls and souls that emerged from the Demon of Knowledge. Life, you have already lost them once, it doesn’t matter if you lose them again.”

Merlin's expression became a little ugly. The words of the Lord of Mysteries were like a knife stabbing into his scabbed wound. His heart and soul, which was mostly covered by divinity, felt pain, but he still managed to maintain his calmness. :

"You are trying to make me emotionally unbalanced again and create opportunities for yourself."

However, the Lord of Mysteries ignored the anger of his little container, and he even couldn't help laughing.

Humans may be more restrained and vigilant when facing the anger of others, but humans will not be frightened by the threat of a small animal that can have its lifeline clamped at any time. Klein still needs to borrow the power of Origin Castle and survive under his own hands. He has so many important people and things in his heart that he cannot let go, as well as the agreement and belief given to him. Such a person is really too much. So easy to handle.

"Admit it, Klein, or rather that brat named Zhou, you are not as fair and caring to believers as you think."

The Lord of Mysteries mocked Him cruelly:

"Although you are only one step away from becoming a god, you still - still haven't learned how to be a god."

"I have said before, your vision is not broad enough, you are too young and too insignificant. For a mediocre person like you in the human world, no matter how much strength you gain, your spirit is always full of human weakness and cannot escape the short-lived species. Limitations. At this point, the souls chosen by me, Amanisis and Roselle, are much better than you. Their strength and power easily separate them from human beings."

"If the majesty of a god is challenged, he will never directly surrender his followers to others, especially us."

"Like you, you will only lose more and more."

His words silenced Merlin.

Probably because the latter also thought of the mistake he made this time, or because the tone of the Lord of Mysteries was too real, after a short silence, Merlin asked gently and tentatively:

"What would you do?"

"If you don't want God to realize that it is very easy to take things from your hands, you have to hold them in your hands, even if they are damaged, you will not give them to God." The Lord of Mysteries followed suit, even though he knew He is the top deceiver in the universe, but he still has to admit that there seems to be some truth in his words, "You know what you should do, move your fingers and catch them all in your hands."

"what do you mean……"

Merlin hesitated for a moment, but he still couldn't break through the shackles he had set for himself in his heart.

He doesn't want to do this. This is simply a disaster for his believers. Forced belief is not a choice they can make. They are innocent, but he wants to do this to turn these innocent people into marionettes.

"The first time you do it, you must be cruel." The Lord of Mysteries continued to say to him, "This is all it takes. Besides, they already believe in you. If God lets the believers die but the believers don't want to, then that's Their beliefs are not religious enough... Oh, you probably don’t like to hear that, so after turning them all into Marionettes, wouldn’t it be great if you go and destroy God’s coloring game dream?”

Then you will never forget this time... If you still want to maintain your humanity, you must always carry their lives on your back, but there will only be more such things in the future, and you will always be completely suppressed. A bad day. Under the words of the Lord of Mysteries, at some point, the option of letting these believers go to Eden quietly disappeared and became a mistake.

"...Is this all I can do?" Merlin asked as if he was talking to himself.

"Maybe there are other ways, but you can't think of it now, can you?" He skillfully changed the concept, slipped, and sighed with pretense of regret, "Of course, you can always Maintain this selfless appearance and let your things be taken away one by one... Let them go if they convert to God. This is also the choice you give them... One day, the believers in the Eastern Continent that you value most will leave. When your Tarot Club leaves you, don't forget the decision you made."

With a little smile, he finally said the most important words in Merlin's ears:

"You don't have to fight or grab, until one day you are completely alone and have no friends."

"When God takes away everything and the whole world forgets you, do you still need to continue to be Klein Moretti and Zhou Mingrui?"

The Lord of Mysteries easily tied two unrelated things together with words, and infinitely magnified the worst results, making it look like there would be miraculous and terrifying consequences if you didn't act according to His ideas. He deliberately mentioned the Tarot Society and the Eastern Continent. He knew better than anyone else the way to hurt the scarred heart of a human being, Klein Moretti.

The price of giving freedom to others is my own constant loss?

Merlin was confused by how this conclusion came to be. However, under the mysterious narrative, it seemed that this was the fact. He looked at the believers who were praying to the Creator again. Without mind reading or visual data, they looked very pious, just like when they first believed in him. Alger ran back and forth, trying to persuade some people to leave with him, and even used the power of the "Disaster Priest" to create some simpler miracles, but with little success.

Even the few people who had obtained and used items and oracles contaminated with the aura of Sefirah Castle, and therefore had not been brainwashed by God for the time being, were embarrassed by Alger's solicitation and expressed euphemistically that they were unwilling to leave their hometown.

Yes, if they wanted to leave, they could have followed the people from the Eastern Continent.

They were unwilling to go to Fusac, where they had taken refuge, and the consequence of staying here was that they became more and more fond of God.

He is destined to not get too many believers. If Alger one day feels that God's side is better... maybe he should do something, just like Wei Mi said, blindly give others freedom and choice, and in the end It only seems to drive them away from you.

Merlin slowly clenched his fists.

In an instant, He grabbed the spiritual threads of hundreds of people, and captured in his hand all the spiritual threads of all the Poseidon believers who were praying to God in front of him.

After a second, they became Marionettes. Instead of praying to God, they stood up and began to clean up the mutated plants around them.

Suddenly, so many people began to clean up the plants neatly. Alger immediately noticed it, but before he could step forward to ask everyone if they needed help, he saw the sky suddenly turn into dusk!

There was not even a breath, and almost at the same time that the sky turned into dusk, a burst of light burst out in front of Alger's eyes.

The angel dressed as a magician disappeared, while Alger's ears were buzzing and there were still a lot of snowflakes in his field of vision. At this moment, he heard a loud rumbling sound in his ears, and saw several consecutive peaks in the distance of the island being cut diagonally, like a heated knife cutting through butter, and the tops of the mountains fell smoothly, The whole piece collapsed, and it took several seconds for the loud noise to reach his ears.

He stayed where he was, wondering what was happening.

……

The giant sword's edge emerged from a "door". Just the tip was tens of meters long, like a wall.

The surface of this long sword was covered with orange light, exuding the aura of the decline of all things as dusk approached.

This is the symbol of the "Twilight Giant", the legacy of the gods of this path after their death - his spiritual imprint, all the extraordinary characteristics he possesses, are all sealed in the uniqueness of the giant sword form, as if that The gods are still alive, exuding terrifying power.

Each one of them was hidden in the hidden space created by Bethel Abraham himself, and it was only at this moment that it showed its edge.

He has been watching the battle and is preparing for this moment!

But Bethel still remembered that gods cannot fight in the real world. After using the power of the "door" to force Merlin into the spiritual world, he launched the most powerful "assassination" without hesitation!

The sword was swung down hard, with such force that it could almost be called a slash. Amidst the sharp sounds of the void cracking and the air being torn apart along the way, before the long sword covered with dusk light reached Merlin's body, the invisible sword light easily cut through the spirits that were still in his hands. The body thread caused the marionettes who had just been transformed to lose control and fall to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, it struck Merlin Hermes, whose limbs were sealed by different "doors" and could not move for a second.

Part of the "Lord of Mysteries"'s will quickly died, and even this body declined and collapsed in an unstoppable trend. Merlin's body was directly chopped into pieces by the broad and sharp blade, turning into countless spiritual insects. His limbs and body parts exploded one after another, along with the uniqueness of "The Fool" on his face and the Sequence 9 in his body. The two Sequence 1 Extraordinary characteristics also collapsed, squirming and trying to come together.

The fog of history is spreading, and the four resurrections possessed by the "Miracle Master" will be reset and updated after being promoted to the "Servant of Mystery". Although his body was destroyed at this moment, he immediately entered the process of resurrection.

They madly absorbed the surrounding historical fog and turned into a dark and deep liquid with no fixed shape.

The liquid stretched and changed, and the face was occupied by the faceless white mask of Oneness.

His body gradually appeared in outline. It was not Merlin or Klein or anyone else. Instead, it seemed to be forming a translucent weird cloak with a hood, or a person whose internal organs and flesh had been hollowed out.

Suddenly, a huge square outline appeared on the four sides of this abstract thing, enclosing it exactly in the center.

This square seemed to be about to become a seal, and just as the abstract cloaked man was about to leave before the seal was formed, a "door" exactly like the one behind him suddenly appeared in front of him!

Countless spaces suddenly appeared between the two doors, and the distance was stretched extremely far, as if two mirrors were facing each other!

TBC

------

A figure appeared in front of the abstract cloaked man. Watching him pass through the layers of "mirror" space, he still stayed in place.

"You still took action and turned a large number of living people into your marionettes for a lame reason." Bethel Abraham's face was extremely calm, and the dusk giant sword showed its edge at his side, "You are now The look really makes me feel very strange.”

"Klein."
