The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 284: The Butterfly Spell (2 in 1)
The monster named [Melvin] is the crystallization of the desires, thoughts, and lives of all "Melvins" from ancient times to the present.
In other words, He is actually the unique and exclusive "Alaya Consciousness" of the Melvin family.
So just trying to repel him is tantamount to fighting against all the Melvins who have died on this land in the past, as well as the contemporary Melvins who are still living on this land.
——This is actually a similar ability to Annan.
Annan in mythical form can resurrect himself by closing one of his eyes - that is, temporarily sacrificing one of the players.
The same is true for the butterfly-shaped "Melvins".
Even though their bodies and souls were instantly frozen to pieces by Annan's power of creation, they did not really die.
Because they are also truly eternal things——
Annan's observation was thorough. After they were frozen to death and shattered, an equal number of "chrysalises" began to move. The element of "rebirth" stands out like a burning wolf smoke before the element of "understanding".
Those butterflies of light, even if their bodies are shattered and their souls are shattered, can still be reincarnated into a nearby chrysalis shell through some means - perhaps the backup data in [Melvin], and their Develop again into a new adult.
According to Annan's calculations at the time, it may only take a few breaths for them to absorb the life of other pupa shells and transform and be reborn with full blood again!
By this time, the original golden body is irrelevant - it is just the pupa shell used to cultivate them in the first place. They have become actinic and will not lose any power even if they are reborn.
——The so-called chrysalis is a symbol of "new life". The metamorphosis of an insect into a butterfly completely changes its old self and acquires a new life form.
But if you understand more deeply, you will know that in the pupa shell, the body of the insect will first melt, be restored and then reshaped.
Since the whole body is mutable, can the new butterfly be regarded as a new creature born from "worms"?
This is the core of the idolatry passed down from generation to generation in the Melvin family.
This is an idol spell called "Butterfly Transformation".
Those Melvins who accidentally left their station and became sober thought that the essence of this spell was to remove themselves from their mortal nature and sublimate themselves into something sublime - to inherit the "gods on earth" in a mortal body. ", get the body of God.
But they didn’t know that [Melvin] had lied to them.
...Or it can't be said to be a lie.
Because He never made any promises.
He has no independent spiritual consciousness, and all actions are related to the deepest prayers of the Melvins.
They wrapped the living body with the chrysalis of death, hid the pure soul full of strong desires in the unconscious gold-level body, and waited for its abnormal development...
——The living remains are the remains of the larvae, while the dead pupae are the pupa shells.
The final new creature - the end point of the evolution of the "Melvin" family, is none other than those "Butterflies of Light"!
From this perspective, the "death chrysalis" and "living skeleton" are actually the true forms of the Melvin family.
By destroying these butterflies of light and destroying [Melvin] with his own hands, Annan finally used the element of understanding and obtained information that he should not have known.
The Melvin family does not have some ruthless elders and young people in the family who coldly and ruthlessly wiped out their lives and sanity, turning them into actual combat power used to rebel against the Winter family.
But because the essence of the "Melvin Family" is like a swarm of insects...
Melvin, who is closer to the essence, closer to the core, believes that personal consciousness is unnecessary excess. They must eliminate these impurities to get closer to the essence.
The so-called essence is this "light butterfly".
If you want Melvin to be born in the form of "Light Butterfly", you must play a fusion magic card:
It is necessary to sacrifice a group of people first, let them fail to advance to gold, and become desireless and empty death chrysalis; and then fill them with "living corpses". The combination of two and two finally hatched out this "advanced form" of Melvin.
From an individual perspective, this is equivalent to killing two people in exchange for the birth of a new life; but from a hive mind perspective, this is equivalent to "two incomplete things being put together into one complete one". Belongs to an evolution.
From this point of view, the Melvin family is actually quite close to Pokémon...
They first need to differentiate into two different evolutionary forms, and then combine the two to form a truly evolved body.
As for those Melvins who survived, they were the ones who were "abandoned".
Those who were sent to other places, in the eyes of the cold and ruthless [Melvin], were actually failures that had no chance of "evolution"; and those Melvins who were "heirs to the Gods of the World" were among all the Melvins. The ones with the highest purity - they will sacrifice themselves and become part of the core of [Melvin].
If these Melvins, who are the purest, keep coming to give away their heads.
I’m afraid [Melvin] will be born smoothly in the end.
——Yes, [Melvin] who was defeated by Annan was still an "unborn butterfly" after all.
He had already broken free partially from the pupa shell and raised his wet wings. But after all, he still hadn't completely broken free - after all, he was missing part of his strength.
The "unborn butterfly" obviously cannot be reincarnated through this method of reincarnation. But if this [butterfly] is really born... it should be possible to complete reincarnation at a very low cost.
Every Melvin will become the foundation for [Butterfly]'s rebirth. Even everyone with Melvin's blood flowing, and everyone who learns Melvin's unique knowledge, will become the foundation for [Butterfly]'s resurrection.
And [Butterfly] will also create more "Butterflies of Light".
From this perspective, He is actually not much different from a real god.
Those who have the blood of Melvin and those who have learned the secrets of the Melvin family are his followers; and these mysterious knowledge passed down from generation to generation can also be regarded as a " "Divinity", the Idol School originally had advanced spells that granted others divine magic.
When believers are pious enough, they can even become "butterflies of light" through the butterfly transformation ceremony, which is equivalent to the apostle of the **** - one who has gold-level spellcasting ability and can be reborn infinitely as long as there are still believers alive. Apostle, this is already the standard of a true god.
And even [Butterfly], as a "god", can be reborn infinitely; if you want to kill him, you must first kill all his "believers".
From the appearance, it looks like a Zhengshen or a Congshen.
Annan can feel that if this [Butterfly] can be completely born, its power should be far stronger than the ordinary gold-level... It may even be more powerful than the truth-level who has obtained the Book of Truth.
If He looks like a follower of God, abides by the rules of a follower of a god, and has the benefits of a follower of a god, believers can also enjoy the same magical treatment as a follower of a god, and can summon the same magic through rituals As for the apostle of a subordinate **** or even a true god...in a certain sense, he can indeed be regarded as a "subordinate **** without a main god."
But He Zhengshen and Aongshen are different.
——He does not need to observe the chronological rituals.
This means that He can do whatever he wants on earth.
Because from another perspective, He did not pass the sublimation ceremony and ascended to the light realm, so He cannot be regarded as a real god... The righteous gods cannot directly take action against such "mortals".
The first Melvin was indeed a genius.
This can almost be regarded as another path besides the "Road of Sublimation", "Road of Degeneration" and "Road of Ritual"——
If you want to encircle and suppress the mature [Butterfly], you must kill all of Melvin's bloodline and erase all of Melvin's knowledge. And you know...almost all modern similar legal arts and one-third of the rituals have been transformed by the Melvin family.
They also send blood heirs to all parts of the world, marrying high-level members of various countries and major churches around the world. Now Melvin's bloodline has blossomed all over the world.
Based on these conditions, the true **** who finally takes action must also violate the chronology ceremony - the true **** must not be able to defeat him.
There is no doubt that this is a blood loss.
I'm afraid, if the Melvin family's plan succeeds, even the righteous gods will have to hold their noses and accept their status.
[Butterfly] may even become the "righteous **** without a moon".
Through the element of "understanding", Annan, who learned this information, couldn't help but feel happy secretly.
Fortunately, I was noticed...
Although the strength is far less than that of the major ancient gods, the chaos and destruction caused to the world by the final and complete [Butterfly] may not be much inferior to that of the "Worm".
But they happened to meet Annan.
I don’t know who is the boss at the end of the level...
When the bitter cold wind of Annan destroyed those butterflies of light, the base for their rebirth, the pupa shells of ordinary Mel culture, were also frozen and blown away by the cold wind.
Annan chose to explode his scales to release the control, which was an idea.
But it happened that this choice allowed Annan to directly eliminate the possibility of the continuous resurrection of these "Light Butterflies" - he only found out about this after Annan defeated [Melvin].
In order to prevent, the curse buried in this land allows the light butterfly and the unborn butterfly to be reborn...
Annan decided to do things to the extreme.
As Annan inserted the light blade in his hand deeply into the ground.
The power of the elements named [Strictness] and [Victory] are leached from the shining diamond blade and injected into the depths of the earth rhythmically like a pulse.
Crunch——
The earth suddenly made a sour sound.
The ground around Annan suddenly swelled and bulged high.
Just like a plastic playground that has been flooded, or like hot glass that has been blown to expand and bulge. When it expanded to the limit, these earth and rocks disintegrated and shattered, overflowing with scorching light like substance.
Even the false night sky above that was created by magic and frozen by Annan was shattered under this boiling light stream.
The sky cracked like cracked and dry earth, and light overflowed from the cracks.
If you look at Annan from directly above, you can see that with Annan as the center, a halo is spreading outwards and spreading to dozens of miles around.
But that's not actually a halo.
Instead, the ground cracked layer by layer and turned into nothingness.
When the cold wave passed by before, all the buildings where the Melvin family resided were frozen and shattered by the cold wave. And now even the basement and foundation have been dug out.
In order to maintain their divinity and avoid being contaminated by the secular world, the Melvin family can only stay in the mountains. Normally, it is necessary to cut off contact with the outside world... Only a narrow mountain road can pass, and a two-way illusion barrier is set up at the door.
This is also to prevent those tribesmen who occasionally suddenly wake up from escaping secretly.
As long as they stay in this cursed land for a little longer, they will gradually be deceived again and controlled by the invisible evil spirit named "Melvin" again.
The most important thing is that there is no subway at their location.
If you want to leave this long and deep mountain, you need to hike for ten miles in the deep mountain forest full of natural atmosphere. After breaking through the illusion barrier, we stepped into the endless snow-covered mountains.
Only after we get out of these mountains can we reach the inhabited place.
This gives the Melvin family's residence a somewhat mysterious color. Ordinary people cannot find them at all and can only contact them through talkers living in Frost Whisper Province... This also effectively prevents [Melvin]'s existence from being known to outsiders.
But now, there's another benefit.
That is to prevent Annan's "purge" work from affecting innocent people.
——Yes.
What Annan wants to do is to uproot and completely eliminate this cursed land from the physical level.
When the light completely dissipates.
Annan, who had returned to his original posture, stood quietly on the only intact ground - a narrow column about ten meters high and less than two meters in diameter.
But it was not Annan who stood on the high ground before.
As the surrounding ground collapsed deeply, the light flow melted the land to a depth of more than ten meters.
Yes.
It was just a sword—centered on Annan’s position, only a dozen meters of rock formations were left in the surrounding mountains with a radius of forty kilometers!
[Melvin] has also been completely eradicated by Annan.
Annan is not just as simple as melting these clods of soil.
Instead, the curse rooted in this earth, all the barriers that the Melvin family has set up on their territory for so many years, all the treasures and corpses buried... will also be destroyed together, leaving no one behind.
Even if he doesn't leave any loot behind and is charged with destroying a big family - Annan must completely eliminate the troubles in this world.
Annan felt it very clearly.
The curse named [Melvin] that lasted for countless years was finally ended by him at this time.
Even the entire mountain range was wiped away by Annan.
However, Annan did not feel any pressure to carry out this kind of map-level attack. He didn't draw much energy from the Heart of Justice... because just destroying the ground wouldn't cost much elemental power at all.
If Annan wanted to, even if he turned over the entire winter ground like this, he might not be able to burn a quarter of his soul - that is to say ~IndoMTL.com~ Every gold level can be easily made A country-destroying attack, more than once.
But for mortals, this is basically a disaster of the level of earth-shattering and world-destruction.
It is now that Annan truly realizes what the golden level means.
"What does it mean...?"
It was like hearing Annan’s thoughts.
A low voice sounded behind Annan.
Annan can sense the other party's presence without looking back.
He replied calmly: "It means - you have witnessed all this from the beginning, but you have not helped any of us.
"What do you want to do...
"——Gryaznuha?"
