Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 195 Nightfall
Beta's voice full of laughter echoed within the divine power barrier. He cast his mocking gaze out the window, only to find that Epsilon, who was still angry just now, had completely calmed down, and his whole body exuded wisps of peaceful light.

Unlike those two-fingered people in later generations who were on the verge of death and whose divine power was exhausted, although the two-fingered angels of the golden age had no facial features and limbs, they could accurately convey their thoughts, expressions, and emotions with meticulous control of their divine power.

At this moment, Beta and Epsilon are only a short distance away, and he can read the deep meaning from the "eyes" of the other party - there is no trace of anger in Epsilon's body, and all he can feel is a piece of anger. Indifferent calm, mixed with a bit of pity that he couldn't understand anyway.

Pity A mixture of confusion and anger surged into Beta's heart. Why should he pity himself, and why should he pity himself?

"Why, because you serve Lucia, you don't allow me to reveal the secret between the Supreme Will and him?" Beta sneered and tried, "The 'taboo' of the taboo war is only a restriction on mortals. In your case, With a being like me, do I still need to be so pretentious?"

Epsilon stared at Beta, sighed deeply, and said softly: "I overestimated you, Beta."

He turned and looked in the direction of Rodel. In the center of the royal capital and in the center of the Golden Temple, the giant golden tree with a diameter of more than one kilometer rose straight into the sky. The tallest branches and leaves were already deep into the clouds. To the naked eye, It's impossible to tell where it ends.

"Compared to mortals standing on the earth, our two fingers are like standing on the top of the golden tree. We only need to raise our head slightly to look up at the grace of the supreme will - but the more I look up, the more I feel In front of Him, we "god messengers" are like weeds at the foot of the golden tree, or even trivial dust. The reason why we are here is just because He needs us to be immature in the way of God-men. When you are weak, just show them a ray of divine grace appropriately."

He glanced at Beta with a strange expression, and said in a puzzled voice: "But when did you start to feel that you have comprehended the intention of the supreme will? Who gave you the confidence to dare to put yourself on the side by side with Him?" In the position of "us", it is reasonable to talk about the rationality of a god-man?"

"You and I were not born at the time of the Forbidden War, and the real deep-seated secrets have long been buried in the depths of history by the gods, and we have no way of knowing. But I know at least one thing, Platon Shanks and Helaris are The earliest kings and gods in this land, even the supreme will never denied half of their achievements—you alone are worthy of calling them rebels?"

"Epsilon, you—"

Beta felt insulted and was eager to refute, but Epsilon completely ignored his anger and just whispered to himself: "I thought you were affected by the unknown erosion of the outer gods in the Western Continent, so It has always shown characteristics that are completely different from the other two fingers, but now it seems."

"You seem to be the defective product among us."

"What did you say?!"

A tyrannical divine power erupted from Beta's body, breaking through the equally divided spiritual realm of the two in an instant, turning into a blazing flame that soared into the sky, and the royal car he was riding on also exploded in an instant.

The priests and knights, who had been isolated from the barrier, didn't know what happened, and they suddenly fell to the ground in fear. Even Lannis, the chief priest most trusted by Beta, was trembling in panic, like a twisted maggot.

On the other side, Epsilon had no intention of confronting Beta, but flew back dozens of steps away, looking at the broken carriage from a distance, and said in a calm tone: "I have indeed given up trying to persuade you. , Beta.”

"Next, this is my official notification to you as the two-fingered envoy serving His Highness Lucia Sanks."

"The Second Two-Finger Church has been sealed by His Royal Highness. After entering the city, please go to Lord Alpha's First Church to stay temporarily. Before the deadline, if you and your subordinates appear in front of His Highness in any form, please forgive me. Guarantee your safety." "Time limit?" Beta laughed angrily, "What time limit?"

"The deadline for the Holy Judgment—three days later, I will go to the Stone Stage with you to accept the Holy Judgment of the Supreme Will."

Beta was stunned for a moment.

"There is no need to argue about the right and wrong of cause and effect today. Which one between you and me is closer to God's will? Let it be decided by the Supreme Will." Epsilon breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Please remember my previous advice and don't do it in the Holy Spirit." I lost my life in vain before, after all, Your Highness Lucia is not Your Highness Lani, it is not difficult to kill you."

After the words fell, golden brilliance appeared around Epsilon's body, and then his whole body was merged into the halo, dissipating invisible.

Beta stared blankly at the direction where he disappeared, and it took a long time to recover, calling the chief priest Lannis who was kneeling at the nearest position.

"Sir, what are your orders?" Lannis tried to maintain a calm posture, but the unconscious trembling on the inside of his thigh betrayed his inner panic.

Beta lowered his eyes and stared at this subordinate who had always been obedient to him. Seeing the way the other man's arms were fighting, for some reason, a trace of indescribable disgust suddenly passed through his heart.

He took a deep breath, and said: "I asked you to arrange for Kaironisa and his party to leave the Asian altar, and do it as quickly as possible. Since Epsilon dared to propose a holy order to me, it means that this matter is right. As far as Lucia is concerned, he has reached the point where he can never stop dying—with his current energy, it is not difficult to seal off the entire king's capital in a short period of time, so no matter what the price is, you must send people away before the holy judgment."

"Yes." Lannis knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply.

"Okay, get up," Beta said impatiently, "My anger just now has nothing to do with you, do your job well, no matter how terrible the Holy Order is, it will never fall on you!"

Lannis stood up tremblingly, not daring to comment on the matter of the holy order, but bowed again, then quickly turned and left.

Soon, the entourage prepared a backup vehicle for Beta. This nearly kilometer-long team was like a bloated giant snake, slowly squirming forward again, but never regained its previous momentum.

Through the car window, Beta looked wordlessly at the giant golden tree connecting the sky and the ground in the center of the city. His eyes involuntarily showed a deep confusion. However, this time, no one would answer for him.

As the last twilight disappeared on the horizon, there were only a few flaming red clouds in the sky, which disappeared in the cold night in a blink of an eye.
