Chapter 624: The Battle of Heaven Punishment!
"I have always claimed that it was not me who defeated the Supreme Heaven, but His willful violence. I have never thought that the credit for that battle came from me.
"In the end, I replaced the Supreme Heaven as the Pillar God because I was the only one who could do it at that time. Because I am the only Celestial being who came from the path of power but dared to resist the Supreme Heaven, I am the only one who can take over this position... After all, the throne cannot be vacant."
Arthur turned his head and looked at the dim sky with Aiwas.
He was silent for a while, and slowly said: "In addition to me, there were three other Pillar Gods who directly participated in the "Battle of Punishment of Heaven", and two Pillar Gods did not directly participate but provided assistance. Including me, a total of six Celestial Beings participated in the battle. Two Celestial Beings also died in this battle. As for the apostles who participated in this battle, there were countless.
"After this battle, the number of phantom eggs condensed in the material world by the fallen apostles increased by more than sixty times in fifty years. Five hundred years have passed, and there are still apostles who died in that battle who have not yet completed their resurrection and returned to the dream world."
Aivas opened his eyes wide when he heard this.
There is no doubt that this is the most advanced mystical knowledge.
No books in the material world record it - it comes from the secrets of the pillar gods told by the parties themselves!
"In terms of contribution, my strength is not as good as those three pillar gods, and my sacrifice is not as good as those two heavenly officials. Those apostles are even more respectable.
"I still remember the ten battlefields opened up in the dream world. The white dragon fighting the red bear that the people in the material world saw when they looked up was only the lowest level... and it was also the level closest to the material world.
"The Supreme Heaven was knocked down layer by layer, and the source of power was soaked with blood. His thousands of warriors fought with the gods in the endless dream, and killed the apostles in every corner of the dream world.
"When it was my turn to fight, He was already unprecedentedly weak. Even so, I fell into the state of near death seven times in that fight-both He and I have the ability to recover from the near-death state. I killed Him six times, and He killed me seven times. The seventh near-death was the closest to permanent death.
"My sword blade was broken at that time, and my power was completely exhausted. And the Supreme Heaven was almost the same-his blood was scattered all over the earth at that time, permeating from the dream world to the material world.
"I know that I must win. Because if I fail, then the previous sacrifice will be meaningless-the Supreme Heaven is still the Lord of Power. Even if His divine body disintegrates and His apostles are all annihilated, He will eventually revive again from the source of the river.
"——Only by defeating Him with 'power', proving that He is no longer the leader of 'power', can His power be taken away."
...I see.
If you want to kill the Pillar God with violence, you must eventually surpass the other party from the path that He governs...
Ewass listened carefully to the secret told by Arthur himself and kept it in mind.
——Maybe it will be useful in the future.
"At that time, my knights happened to defeat the giants in the mortal world and ended the rule of the Giant Kingdom. At that time, the Supreme Heaven had no time to help the giants, and the demise of the mortal kingdom also proved that He had lost 'control' and no longer possessed outstanding 'power'; and my seven near-death experiences made the source of 'violence' recognize me.
"But in the final analysis, the main reason for His final defeat was that He gradually lost his original intention in his long career and separated from the path of power. This made His recovery at the last moment slower than mine.
"When I finally defeated the Supreme Heaven with 'strength', His endless divine power completely dissipated - just like the disintegration of the inheritor's heart of Tao."
"--There is no doubt that although this war started and ended with me. But it did not come from me. It came from the hatred and hostility that the people of this world and the other world have accumulated for thousands of years."
The Silver Crown Dragon, who turned into Arthur, said slowly.
And when Aiwas listened to His narration, it was as if he had personally experienced that outstanding "Battle of Heaven Punishment". He only felt a strong and passionate feeling - the dream world, which was theoretically infinite in area, was soaked in blood everywhere; the blood in the dream world overflowed, so that it seeped from the dream to the material world.
What a romantic and shocking scene!
What is more valuable is that the Silver Crown Dragon always remembers that he is not the strongest. Even when he ascended to the position of the Pillar God, He still remained humble.
But...
...Three Pillar Gods?
Who else is there besides the Lord of Scales and Feathers?
When Aiwas thought of this, he was still a little scared and didn't dare to ask this question directly.
But he still asked another question: "Who are the two sacrificed celestial officials?"
——This question can always be asked, right?
Even if it is in the name of commemorating the sacrificed, the sacrifice of the other party should always be remembered.
"One of them is Antaeus, the anti-celestial official from the transcendent path. He is a giant, but he fights for justice, rebels against fate and blood, fights with the Supreme Heaven, the ancestor of giants, as a pioneer, and fights to the death. In the end, he was broken into pieces. He is indeed worthy of respect and remembrance.
"And the other one... you may know him."
"...Who?" Aiwas was a little surprised.
Is there any celestial official I can know?
Who? The ring celestial official?
Why doesn't he go and kill him?
And Arthur said: "It is the gray celestial official who is neither true nor false, neither black nor white. He also fell in that battle. But there are also views that his death is just another unspeakable lie, because those who pray to him can still obtain divine magic... So I won't say his real name. After all, knowing his real name is equivalent to falling into his lies. "
Having said this, Arthur glanced at the sunset again and asked, "Are you ready?"
"……What?"
"The clock is starting to tick. Do you have any more questions?"
...So it turns out that time is at a standstill now?
Aiwass suddenly realized.
No wonder Arthur stopped pretending and suddenly revealed so many secrets - now they are caught in the gap in time!
"In the dream world, if time no longer flows according to normal rules, the horizon will permanently show a dim yellow color like dusk. You can also remember this in other dreams... This means that Amber is watching you."
The Silver Crowned Dragon stared at the setting sun on the horizon and said, "That's the Amber Eye."
When Arthur said these words, the seemingly endless dusk began to dissipate.
Night begins to fall.
And Aiwass was still talking at this time: "I do have a little question...what exactly is the magic cauldron? The giants can only survive by relying on the magic cauldron."
"——Magic Cauldron?"
It was not Arthur who answered Aiwass, but a voice that was somewhat familiar to Aiwass: "Ah, I know this!"
He turned around in surprise, and as expected he saw that familiar figure——
He has short, messy black hair and wears a round monocle on his left eye. Wearing a blue robe, carrying a sword at his waist, he had a frivolous smile on his face.
——It is the young Merlin!
Aiwass looked around and saw the more familiar figure of Lancelot I.
At this time, he was almost identical to the Lancelot Aiwass saw during the last promotion ceremony, except that he was obviously much younger. He looks probably younger than Merlin.
In addition, there are a dozen knights making fires and setting up camp.
They all looked over curiously, but no one came to ask about Aiwass's identity.
Obviously, this offending job fell on Merlin again.
"The secret of the magic cauldron is very simple. This is the special skill of the giant priest. Using ninety-nine painful souls and ninety-nine gems of the same color to perform a ceremony and praying for the power of the supreme heaven, you can create a giant that can pour out endless food. Magic cauldron. But there are actually only seven real magic cauldrons, and they all have the magic power to bring people back to life... But even artificially made magic cauldrons can revive warriors who have died within seven days. "
Merlin pushed up his monocle and said with a smile: "I answered your question, so how about you also answer my question?
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"——Merlin, don't be rude."
At this moment, Arthur suddenly spoke.
His majestic and cold silver-gray eyes stared at Merlin, making Merlin instantly quiet.
The blue-robed mage nodded respectfully: "I obey, my king."
"This is Sir Helechin... I summoned his heroic spirit through a ritual to fight alongside us."
ah?
Aiwass looked at Arthur in shock.
——This means that I am a heroic spirit summoned by King Arthur?
